Purple is the New Party

Losing our religion by Paul Moomjean l paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

he most influential conservative pastor in America for the past 20 to 30 years has been a man by the name of John MacArthur. His San Fernando Valley church, Grace Community Church, has been around for over 50 years. He started The Master’s College, now known as The Master’s University and Seminary, and has a worldwide radio program called Grace to You. He’s been a frequent commentator on Larry King Live, Larry King Now and Fox News, and he has written hundreds of articles, books and Bible commentaries that preach a conservative evangelicalism that routinely bashes Catholics, Pentecostals, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ civil rights, transgenderism, social justice and any type of woman’s rights or feminism. His sermons and writings have influenced numerous churches throughout California, and if you went or your kids go to a Christian school in Southern California, you are familiar with him. He came under fire the last two years for refusing to follow any Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or World Health Organization mask mandates or social distancing guidelines for church services, gathering large fines and creating national headlines. Recently, a report and video footage was released that revealed a 20-year-old cover up of an ex-church employee’s child abuse

sexually abuse his child, get arrested and be sentenced to 21 years in prison. The wife, Elieen Gray, wasn’t treated as a victim of a violent predator. Instead, she was publicly shamed by MacArthur from the pulpit; called out for being a non-submissive wife and rebellious church member; and kicked out of the church in the hope that she would repent. Instead, she filed a police report against her now ex-husband and, according to Roys, “On February 20, 2004, David Gray, a former teacher at John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church (GCC), was charged with multiple counts of sexual and physical abuse of children.” He is still rotting in a prison cell, but not without the moral and financial support of his fellow church members. What makes this more sickening is the trail of evidence. The Roys Report: “[David Gray] also submitted a handwritten confession of abuse [. . .] during a 2001 counseling session, Eileen testified. And, in a sworn declaration, a pastor who heard tape recordings of Hardy’s 2001 counseling sessions with Eileen and David stated Eileen was being told to submit to David despite ‘his admitted abuse of her and her children.’” One of the elders, Carey Hardy, “then detailed an effort to raise $20,000 cash for David’s bail, $250,000 in col-

Jesus said in Matthew 18:6, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” and pedophilia, the public shaming of a protective mother, and the financial backing of the man, David Gray, who sits in prison due to his horrific crimes covered up by Grace Community Church (GCC) and John MacArthur. Julie Roys of The Roys Report has been writing about John MacArthur’s multiple scandals for years. She’s an investigative journalist who has interviewed and reported on numerous victims of MacArthur, ranging from sexual abuse to financial abuse. On March 8, 2022, The Roys Report published an article breaking down a 2002 scandal where a children’s ministry employee of GCC was caught by his wife abusing their young child. She took the offense to the elders of the church, where they did not report the crime, but instead insisted she stay with her husband, since divorce is only allowed in cases of adultery or if the husband is an unbeliever. MacArthur’s narrow view on this subject eventually led the man in question, David Gray, to

lateral to complete the bail amount, and $20,000 for lawyer’s fees.” MacArthur went on to write glowing words about him in a church newsletter. I write all of this to put a mirror up to the faces of those who view MacArthur as a cult-like god of theology. When a man’s image is more important than the safety of his congregation, he can no longer lead, and this massive cover up, finally revealed now that the children are adults, should create a real inquiry into the practices of the church and schools he oversees. Jesus said in Matthew 18:6, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Lastly, if you’re more upset that this report was revealed than that children were harmed and the church did nothing, then you are part of the problem and definitely not the solution.

PACT Act passes The House voted on March 3 to pass the Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, a comprehensive legislative package to address the pressing needs of toxic-exposed veterans, including expanded access to healthcare and benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. An amendment co-authored by U.S. Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Thousand Oaks) ensuring toxic-exposed veterans have access to mammography

U.S .Rep. Mike Garcia (R-Santa Clarita) voted in support of the bill. The bill passed the House by a vote of 256-174.

“A relief to be heard” County orders EIR for RI-NU by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

n what many community advocates are calling a victory, the Ventura County Planning Department has ordered that a complete Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be done as part of the reopening of a waste treatment facility in Santa Paula, which was the site of the 2014 chemical explosion and fires that led to lifelong injuries for several first responders, including local firefighters. In a letter dated March 8, 2022, signed by Dave Ward, director of the Ventura County Planning Department, and sent to Rob Dal Farra with Sespe Consulting for RI-NU Services LLC, the applicant seeking to reopen the Santa Paula waste treatment facility, Ward stated that in light of over 100 public comments received, “I have determined that there is substantial evidence in the record that demonstrates a fair argument that aspects of the project, either individually and/or cumulatively,

could create a significant effect on the environment . . . it has been determined that one or more of these potential significant impacts cannot clearly be reduced to a less-than-significant level through the imposition of feasible mitigation measures. Therefore, I have determined that an EIR instead of an MND must be prepared for the proposed project.” (1) “This is a huge win for our coalition, and for the communities of the Santa Clara River Valley, from the county line to the ocean,” said Mary Ann Krause, a longtime Santa Paula resident, certified planner and coordinator with Santa Paula Together, a local advocacy group made up of Santa Paula-based organizations and individuals. “It is a relief to be heard. I am very grateful that the work our coalition and others have done has caused the county to step back and do a full EIR with updated assumptions.” Krause has been active within a large coalition that submitted over 100 written comments to the planning department regarding the application of RI-NU Services LLC to renew a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to operate the waste disposal and processing facility on Mission Rock Road

along the Santa Clara River in Santa Paula. Coalition members include Santa Paula Latino Town Hall, Climate First! Replace Oil and Gas (CFROG), Sierra Club and individuals from Fillmore, Santa Paula, Ventura and Ojai. RI-NU CEO Tim Koziol did not respond by press deadline to requests for comment. In 2014, at the time of the explosion, the facility was operated by a company called Santa Clara Waste Water. Following an intensive investigation that included the office of the California Attorney General (a position held at the time by now U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris), Greg Totten, Ventura County District Attorney (VCDA) at the time, filed 71 charges related to criminal acts including conspiracy, which led to indictments against nine employees and company officials. All nine pleaded guilty. Those guilty plea deals included $2.6 million in victim restitution to be paid. A majority of the payments, however, were made contingent upon the county renewing the CUP for the reopening of the site because the VCDA understood at the time that the company didn’t have enough funds to pay.

Mary Ann Krause speaks at a public meeting in Santa Paula regarding the RI-NU project application on Nov. 8, 2021. Photo by Kimberly Rivers. Comments submitted to the county regarding the RI-NU application raised many issues and concerns related to what many said was the county’s failure to include the full scope of potential impacts of the project in the initial review of the application. Krause said that the full EIR “will help the public and decision

makers better understand the full impacts of the wastewater treatment plant, which is the point of the environmental process.”

Eye on the Environment

Commercial sector must both recycle and recover food, but can receive exemptions

by David Goldstein hil White, who lives in the Ojai Valley and serves on Ventura County’s Climate Emergency Council, was at a restaurant recently and found he had ordered more food than he could eat. He did not plan to return directly home after dining, so saving the food in a doggie bag and eating it later could be unsafe. He asked restaurant staff if they had a separate container for food scrap recycling, but he learned that the restaurant discards food with all other waste, into a landfill-bound dumpster. Eager to participate fully in the statewide campaign launched in earnest two months ago to cut climate-changing methane gas by preventing food from rotting in landfills, Mr. White brought the food home — not to eat, but to place in his curbside organics recycling cart. This level of dedication to recycling cannot be expected of many people, so he emailed me, asking whether restaurants, like homeowners, are also required by new state mandates to recycle food scraps. Similarly, he wondered whether the agricultural sector had to follow food recycling mandates. Placing recycling requirements on just single-family homes

would leave much of the organic waste stream still flowing to landfills and generating methane. In fact, restaurants and all other commercial generators, including apartments of five or more units, do also have new requirements under Senate Bill 1383 of 2016. Like the residential sector, statewide rules for business waste collection accounts, including for apartments of five or more units, became effective Jan. 1 of this year. Current state and local programs for commercial recycling focus on education, and penalties for non-compliance may begin in 2024. However, many businesses may be able to obtain local exemptions from new recycling obligations. Cities and the county (for businesses outside city limits) can offer businesses exemptions for specified reasons. One is a “de minimis” exemption, for businesses generating organics below established thresholds. Another is an exemption for lack of space to site recycling containers. Ventura County sent notices of organics recycling requirements to the 2,019 holders of business licenses for the generally non-commercialized areas outside cities, and has, as of last week, granted 37 waivers. Jill Sarick-Santos, recycling manager for

the city of Oxnard, says Oxnard sent notices of SB 1383 requirements to approximately 4,000 business license holders citywide. Home-based businesses can comply with rules by using residential recycling carts. Sarick-Santos predicts, after weeding out home-based businesses and others not subject to the requirements, that the list will decline to about 2,200 businesses needing organics recycling or waivers. She expects nearly half of those businesses to qualify for waivers based on low generation rates or lack of space available. The task is complicated in Oxnard and other large cities by the number of tenants in multi-tenant developments sharing refuse service. Each business is individually responsible for meeting the mandates. The de minimis waiver is available to businesses if waste generated on site is less than two cubic yards per week and organics are less than 10 gallons per week. Businesses generating over two cubic yards of waste per week may also qualify, but only if organics generated on site are less than 20 gallons per week. Some fast-food restaurants may qualify for de minimis waivers from requirements for organic recycling because, although packaging raises

the waste stream over two cubic yards per week, little food is consumed on site, pre-apportioned ingredients limit waste in the food preparation area, and customers eating on site tend to finish their entire meals. State regulations also allow self-hauling, and yard clippings may be hauled by landscapers. Some businesses haul materials to landfills and recycling centers, rather than employing a hauler. Similarly, businesses may choose to either compost organics onsite or haul to a composter. Businesses claiming to meet recycling requirements without subscribing to service by a contracted hauler will likely be required to provide proof of recycling to the jurisdiction in which the business is located. Each jurisdiction will verify with an on-site visit whether a waiver should be granted. As for Mr. White’s second question, if a farm is a commercial business, then the same requirements apply. However, most farmers just plow waste crops into the ground, so jurisdictions may waive requirements for organics collection service. Food processing facilities and fruit packing centers associated with agriculture are less likely to meet waiver requirements. In fact, many

identified negative impacts. In a letter to the community coalition on March 9, Krause wrote that, according to CEQA, if staff and consultants are not able to “identify appropriate mitigation measures to reduce these newly significant impacts to ‘less than significant’” in the course of the EIR, then the only way the CUP for RI-NU could be approved is for the Ventura County Board of Supervisors to “make a finding that the benefits of the proposed operation outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts.”

“Legislation check” continued from Page 7 every other modern industrialized country in the world,” Said Bennett, “and what accounts for this? The United States has one of the

most pervasive gun cultures in the world supported by a powerful gun lobby. Gun shows at the fairgrounds enhance this and it is time for each

Ventura County Public Works Agency Environmental Resource Analyst David Goldstein may be reached at david.goldstein@ventura. org or 805-658-4312. With the facility having been closed for seven years, since the explosion, “it would be a high bar for the board to make that finding,” said Krause. If RI-NU decides to proceed with the EIR, it will be several months until a Draft EIR is circulated for the public to comment on.

“A relief to be heard” continued from Page 7 of the project by the planning department, but the county found that certain mitigation measures, like agricultural screening, could reduce the impacts to “less than significant.” Whether an EIR is mandated is governed by a set of state laws called the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) signed by Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1970. CEQA requires that for a project to be approved, either any identified significant impacts of the project be mitigated to less than significant, or the project’s benefits exceed the

such businesses are also subject to an additional requirement applicable to two categories of waste generators. In addition to recycling organics, “Tier One” waste generators, by this year, and “Tier Two” waste generators by 2024, must contract with a food recovery organization so edible food discards can be saved for hungry people. Tier One businesses include large supermarkets and grocery stores, food service providers and distributors, and wholesale food vendors. Tier Two businesses include large restaurants, hotels, health facilities with on-site food facilities, large events, and educational facilities with cafeterias. Abound Food Care, a consulting firm hired by the county to compile countywide lists of Tier One and Tier Two entities, will soon complete work and make recommendations for expansion of Ventura County’s food recovery infrastructure so more food can be recovered, rather than just recycled.

of us to play a role in changing this culture.” The legislation has been expected and echoes a similar bill adopted by the state governing the Orange County Fairgrounds.

The United States has one of the most pervasive gun cultures in the world supported by a powerful gun lobby. Gun shows at the fairgrounds enhance this and it is time for each of us to play a role in changing this culture.”

Exposed layers show shells, dark striped soils and chalky rock outcroppings revealing the days when the Heritage Valley was under the ocean. The winery sign along South Mountain Road is small, obscure, easy to miss. Although more people now know about the vineyards of Ventura County, few know where to find them. Yet wine grapes have grown here going back to the early Spanish days at Rancho Camulos in Piru. Between towering avocados, I take the turn up the steep driveway, eager to meet with artist and educator Gretel Compton, Clos des Amis co-owner and co-winemaker with founder Bruce Freeman. We’re joined by winery tour guide Lisa Stoll of Explore Wines, based in Camarillo. She specializes in boutique Santa Barbara County wineries, and she’s visiting Clos des Amis for the first time.

The unpretentious winery is small, not much larger than a garage, handmade of adobe brick and solar powered. Compton gives Stoll a quick tour of the modest facility which has been home to Clos des Amis for seven years, starting with the 2014 vintage. We squeeze past a few barrels, mostly older, as well as stainless steel tanks of various sizes holding wines made from Ventura County grapes. A simple lab and sink is in the back, near the riddling rack Freeman made for Clos des Amis’ sparkling wine, Chambang! In another room, more wine is stored in tanks, barrels and bottles. Overall production is very small, averaging 500 cases a year. Stoll puts her brand-new Lincoln Navigator into four-wheel drive, and as she steers us carefully up the windy way to the vineyard, Compton tells Stoll more about Clos des Amis. In addition to working with Freeman on every aspect of the business, Compton sells and delivers wine, pours from 3-7 p.m. at the Friday Santa Paula Certified Farmers Market, and creates the art on the labels (which feature local hiking trails, flora and fauna). In a vineyard tucked in the hills under the Fillmore “F,” Compton planted cabernet sauvignon and in 2020 Clos des Amis harvested the first vintage to make a red field blend.

The calcareous earth beneath our feet has chunks of surprisingly lightweight rocks scattered here and there. Compton explains that it was this limestone soil that led original owner Sanger “Sandy” Hedrick to plant an experimental vineyard on this steep slope. With its success, he expanded, and then added a second vineyard where there’s room for further development.

FEATURE “Bruce has embraced my presence as co-winemaker,” she says. And now Compton’s making albariño: “I really love that I work in the vineyard and I grow these grapes and I pick these grapes and I press these grapes and they end up, after sleeping over the winter, as these amazing things that talk about a place and they talk about time and they talk about the season and the weather so it’s such a very expressive experience.” “I feel like winemaking is very artistic.”

Chris Brown, Cantara Cellars

While long ago only widows were allowed to own property, in Ventura County women have owned or are currently the co-owners of many wineries. At Camarillo’s Cantara Cellars, Mike Brown makes wine from purchased Lodi fruit and Chris Brown runs their flourishing tasting room, brewery and events space. According to Chris, in 2002, on a whim in their garage located in the “Cantara” tract of homes in Ventura County, she and husband Mike fermented fruit from his mom’s chardonnay vineyard. The name was a joke at first, but they decided to keep it even as they became more serious about making wine. “We started making wine from his folks’ chardonnay,” recalls Chris, “and by the time it was ready, it was amazing! We picked this fruit, we made this wine; it really got both of us amazed that we could do this.” But, she adds, “You have to buy good fruit, and you have to know what you’re doing.” With a desire to learn to make better wine, in 2003, the Browns volunteered at Camarillo Custom Crush. “In 2005 we did our first commercial harvest which is what we had when we opened

in 2007.” Analytically minded, Chris had a former career as a materials manager; she points out that she does the same thing at Cantara but with a different product. “Instead of widgets, it’s wine,” she says with a chuckle. When asked about being female in a male-dominated business, she agrees that wine is not as bad as manufacturing. However, “Salesmen in particular will say ‘I’m here to see Chris’ — and they are talking to Chris, a woman, when they are expecting Chris, a man.” Chris says that she has always used the non-gendered name purposefully for that reason, so no one knows her gender in advance and judges her. Overall, she loves what she does. “Wine is such a wonderful business.”

Helen Tolmach and Leah Coles, The Ojai Vineyard

In Ventura County, all roads lead to The Ojai Vineyard owned by Adam and Helen Tolmach. Adam’s grandfather bought the property near Creek Road in 1933, and with the support of Helen and his degree from University of California, Davis, he planted syrah there in 1981. Decimated by Pierce’s Disease, that vineyard is now replanted with resistant experimental vines. Adam and Helen recently purchased Fe Ciega Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills, but most of their fruit is purchased from Santa Barbara County and brought to their Oak View winemaking facility. At The Ojai Vineyard, Leah Coles gets the wines out into the world as wholesale director. Previously, she ran Paradise Wines, now Paradise Pantry, with Chef Kelly Briglio and Tina Thayer. This excellent women-owned restaurant establishment is also a wine and cheese shop and is celebrating its 15th anniversary in downtown

Ventura near Mission San Buenaventura. Coles shared with me three bottles of sauvignon blanc: the Sainte Hélène Reserve from 1991, a blend of Santa Barbara County sauvignon blanc and semillon which honors owner Helen Tolmach, plus two recent releases. The name itself gives a hint to the important role Helen Tolmach holds. While the Sainte Hélène is past its prime, the other two offer an interesting contrast in vintages and sites.

Sheila Donohue, Vero

Sheila Donohue helps bring wines like those from Clos des Amis further afield through her wine merchant business, Vero, located in a Ventura warehouse. Donohue also imports wines from Italy, all with a similar ethos, and often with women at the helm. These wineries include La Maliosa in Tuscany and Vigna Petrussa in Friuli. Donohue comes from the male-run banking and technology industry, and moved into another male-dominated industry, wine. She’s had to learn “to be outspoken and also have thick skin. I’m still getting accustomed.” Since wine is also controlled by big business enterprises, she says that as a small business, “It’s very difficult no matter your gender.” At Vinexpo America, which took place in New York City in early March, Donohue observed that on a panel with three men and one woman, the only person talking about small production, sustainably made wines was the woman — who herself owns a small, independent retail shop. “My business focuses on wines that are out of the ordinary,” says Donohue. “I love Ventura County but I must say that it is not easy to sell wines that are off the beaten path.” Wines like those from Vigna Petrussa. Hilde Petrussa and her daughter Francesca Petrussa are second and third generations, respectively, of women winemakers and winery owners in Friuli, in northeast Italy next to the Slovenian border. Donohue was the first person to bring the wines of Vigna Petrussa to the United States. In 2020 Hilde was cited by Italian wine expert Ian D’Agata as “one of the best estates in Italy.” The nicely structured, vibrant Richenza blends native varieties from Friuli vinified and aged in oak separately, then assembled.

Back at the winery, Stoll, Compton, and I taste and discuss the white wine blend from Vigna Petrussa, The Ojai Vineyard’s sauvignon blanc, and Clos des Amis’ chardonnay, albariño, and a sample from the tank of the 2021 sauvignon blanc that was bottled on March 19. Stoll is excited to add tours to Clos des Amis to her Santa Barbara and Ventura County offerings. It fits right into her focus on out-of-the-way, special and elevated winery and vineyard experiences. “Sandy” Hedrick stops by for lunch at the big table under the pepper tree, and we share our picnic spread with him as well as the wines. We relax in the shade, and enjoy the views of the wildflowers on the hillsides across the valley. It’s spring, and while there may be a lot that’s wrong in the world, there’s a lot that’s good in the Ventura County world of women in wine.

WINES TO EXPLORE 2021 Clos des Amis “Albariño South Mountain Estate Vineyard,” Ventura County; 1 case Almost platinum in color, aromas include fresh lemon, white stone fruit and kiwi. On the palate, the mouthwatering wine offers tart, white stone fruit, lemon, sea grass and kiwi. With food on the palate, the wine takes on a creamy citrus flavor that pairs fabulously with shrimp bisque as well as crab cakes with aioli. 2016 Clos des Amis “Olivelands Chardonnay,” Ventura County; 100 cases These grapes grow just above Olivelands School off Telegraph near Wheeler Canyon. The wine can be found at The Cave, online from the winery, or from distributor Vero. In color, a golden buttercup with aromas of butterscotch, sea-salted caramel apple and a hint of paprika. On the palate, lemon curd with a nice roundness and a chaparral finish. An excellent food wine, especially with Ventura’s local seafood, it’s fantastic with triple cream brie on bread or in a puff pastry with asparagus, shrimp bisque and crab cakes with fresh aioli. 2021 The Ojai Vineyard “McGinley Vineyard” Sauvignon Blanc, Santa Barbara County Very pale yellow in the glass with aromas of fresh grass, lemon, peach, citrus and citrus blossom. A sip brings to your lips tart lemon, salinity, wet slate, white stone fruit and fresh, unripe banana. With oysters, they become very sweet and bring out the lemon in the wine. Fantastic with goat cheese on top of a rosemary raisin cracker. 2020 The Ojai Vineyard “Presqu’ile Vineyard” Sauvignon Blanc, Santa Barbara The wine made from these organic grapes is a very pale, light lemon color, with aromas of jalapeño pepper, lemon, lime and cilantro with more jalapeño on the palate. Outstanding with crab cakes and aioli. 2018 Vigna Petrussa “Richenza” Friuli, Italy Golden yellow, daffodil in color, it offers aromas of marmalade, tuberose, minerals, mulling spice with orange rind and lemon thyme. On the palate the wine is clean and bright, with notes of herbs, lemon, olives, sea salt and a very long, lingering finish with a hint of rose petals. Excellent with a wide range of foods: bisque, asparagus brie tart and fresh fruit galette. It offers enough structure to pair well with a traditional corned beef dinner.

Piff, Jade Simone and Mr. Piffles.

What can audiences to your Thousand Oaks show expect? We bring a bunch of new tricks as well as a couple of old favourites on tour. Come for the dog, stay for the dragon. The pandemic brought many acts to their knees — but yours has grown. I understand that you’re performing in a much larger theater now. What do you think is the secret to your appeal? We’ve been lucky to be able to hang in there. It’s been a lot of work but, thankfully, it has paid off.

What’s new and exciting in the world of magical dragons? Training a unicorn to do a card trick. What’s something most people don’t know about you? I can juggle. Piff the Magic Dragon performs on Sunday, March 27, at 2 and 7 p.m. at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., Thousand Oaks. Tickets start at $44.50.

This event will feature a live question-and-answer session with the physicians.

Pit stop

Punk in Drublic aims to be a booze-fueled, raucous good time by Alex Gallagher

ameron Collins was drinking beer and listening to punk music when he had an aha moment. “I’ve always been a NOFX fan and I was doing beer festivals,” Collins says. “One night I was sitting in my backyard having some beers and listening to NOFX and it hit me that this would be an amazing festival concept.” Collins then called his good friend, NOFX bassist Michael “Fat Mike” Burkett, to pitch the idea. “It was Cameron’s vision to do a festival that was the opposite of the Warped Tour and is something for older punk rockers who want to get wasted,” Burkett says. “I love Warped Tour, but I didn’t want to worry about what bands I’m missing. I wanted to feel like I was in a backyard listening to music and drinking a beer.” Though Burkett scoffed at the idea at first, he later jumped on board. He says Punk in Drublic — the name of NOFX’s 1994 album — would be the perfect moniker for the festival. Punk in Drublic comes to the Ventu-

ra County Fairgrounds at noon Sunday, March 27. Among the many bands joining NOFX will be Pennywise, Lagwagon, T.S.O.L. Face to Face, Dr. Know and Ill Repute. The festival will also have craft beer tastings and local food trucks. “Punk in Drublic is just a good title because this festival is about drunk punk rockers,” Burkett says with a laugh. “What could be more fitting?” Known primarily as a touring punk rock party, Punk in Drublic came into its own last year in Worcester, Massachusetts, according to Burkett. “Last year felt exactly like what we had planned,” Burkett says. “It just felt so good to hang out with our bros and we feel like Punk in Drublic is a real success because it is now exactly what we intended it to be.” With a successful show in the books, Collins and Burkett are anxious to get their favorite show back on the road and party with their best friends. “We don’t book anybody who we don’t like to hang out with,” Collins says. “Everyone on the bill is friends that we would want to hang out with afterward.” Burkett had one request for the venues:

Last year felt exactly like what we had planned. It just felt so good to hang out with our bros and we feel like Punk in Drublic is a real success because it is now exactly what we intended it to be.” — Michael “Fat Mike” Burkett Continued on Next Page March 24, 2022 —

This tour feels like I’m at home.” Because of this, Collins says Punk in Drublic feels less like a traditional music festival and more like a genuine good time. “Everybody leaves Punk in Drublic with their sides hurting from laughing. They have a great time,” he says. “It’s a comedy show with great music and tons of camaraderie, which makes it unique. There is nothing I do that’s like it and

Everybody leaves Punk in Drublic with their sides hurting from laughing. They have a great time. It’s a comedy show with great music and tons of camaraderie, which makes it unique.” — Cameron Collins there will never be anything like Punk in Drublic.” The atmosphere at Punk in Drublic is so relaxed that Burkett feels less pressure while performing. “It’s not a grueling tour and what’s really fun about this is that I’m not trying to impress people as much,” he says. “These are fans and they’re loaded. Because we’re the last band, we don’t have to try as hard or be as good,” he added with a laugh. Additionally, Burkett admits that his band is rare in that it does not practice and

the setlist is penned the day prior. “I write the setlist the day before and we don’t practice because that would make us predictable,” he says with a smirk. “I will, however, always throw in at least one song that people are not familiar with.” Burkett isn’t fond of today’s modern punk rock, so he focuses on creating a show that pushes audiences outside of their comfort zone — with a few laughs thrown in. “These days, punk rock is mostly pop with safe lyrics and safe shows,” he says. “I’d rather get in trouble, which I do a lot, and put on a show that is punk

and makes people a little awkward and makes them laugh. Punk in Drublic is not a business. It’s a party that we throw. We’ve taken the approach that we’re OK with whatever happens.” ♦ Punk in Drublic takes place on Sunday, March 27, starting at noon at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, 10 W. Harbor Boulevard, Ventura. Tickets start at $55 for the 21 and older show. For tickets and more information, visit punkindrublicfest.com.

— March 24, 2022

My wife and I got married eight months ago. Whatever I suggest for the apartment — a paint color, a bathroom fixture — my wife immediately dismisses. For example, the living room couch she wanted was too huge for the space: a really awkward, uncomfortable fit. She kept ignoring objective facts about spatial relations — even after I pulled out a measuring tape and drew a schematic of the room. It occurred to me that her wanting it her way and ignoring my ideas are patterns in our relationship. This feels pretty bad. —The Husband There are those of us with special abilities in certain areas. Personally, I have a multi-decade track record in two areas: as a writer and as an automotive moron. (Lift your hood and I’ll identify all the parts: “There’s that round thingie and a bunch of intestine-esque tube-y thingies...”) Hiring me to write something (ideally for dump trucks of money) suggests you have fabulous taste and superior intelligence. Hiring me to fix your car suggests you lack the mental firepower to pick your nose without assistance.

Men and women, in general, have different spatial abilities — in line with the sexual divisions of labor in the ancestral hunter-gatherer world: male hunters tracking and killing animals and female gatherers doing the “grocery shopping” 2 million-ish years before grocery stores. Men and women, in general, have different spatial abilities — in line with the sexual divisions of labor in the ancestral hunter-gatherer world: male hunters tracking and killing animals and female gatherers doing the “grocery shopping” 2 million-ish years before grocery stores. Psychologists Irwin Silverman and Marion Eals find that women, across cultures, are vastly better than men — even 60 or 70% better — at “object location.” This is the ability to remember an array of objects in a setting, as well as their placement (relative to the other objects) — basically by pulling up a mental snapshot: “Those nice berries by the cliff; poison ivy near the river — by the dead tree where I found those yummo beetle appetizers.” Men, on the other hand, are significantly better at “mental rotation”: turning a 3-D object around in their mind and predicting how the object would fit in a certain space — or hurtle through it. This skill allows the outfielder to catch the pop fly, but for Joe Loincloth, being ace at aiming his spear meant his family might dine on wildebeest mignon instead of mealymouthed excuses. Granted, your wife — like most people — is probably not clued in to the wonders of evolved sex

differences in spatial ability. However, you mention that her unwillingness to listen to you is a pattern in various areas of your relationship. And that’s a major problem. Being ignored — especially by those who matter most to us — takes a bite out of our dignity. Contrast that with somebody giving us their attention — their full attention (meaning listening like we’re about to tip them off on tomorrow’s winning lotto numbers). They’re telling us they respect us. Whatever we have to say is important for them to hear. That kind of listening doesn’t just come from the ears. Psychologist Carl Rogers, who used it with his therapy clients, described it as “active listening” and explained: “I hear the words, the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning, even the meaning that is below the conscious intent of the speaker.” Listening deeply like this starts with setting aside the impulse to “win” — to hammer another person with what you believe. Admittedly, that can be a highly successful tactic — if you’re looking to persuade someone to bolt themselves even more tightly to their position. Listening is a vital element of a healthy relationship — one in which spouses accept each other’s “influence,” explains marriage researcher John Gottman. This means each spouse makes the other a “partner” in their decision-making: respecting and honoring them and their opinions and feelings. For a marriage to thrive, spouses have to “share the driver’s seat.” For your marriage to have a chance at thriving, your wife needs to see the benefit in acting as a “we” instead of pressing forward as a “me” (with a large piece of husband-shaped luggage). The direct approach — telling her she needs to change — is likely to be a fail, coming off as a threat to her getting her way and thus triggering not change but rebellion. Instead, tell her how you feel. (For example: hurt, disrespected, and embarrassed that your opinions seem of no interest to her.) This should evoke her empathy — meaning make her feel bad that you feel bad — which could motivate her to take steps to change (which, by the way, would involve time, practice, and setbacks). Ultimately, she knows being a marital bully is way out of line — assuming her wedding vows didn’t include: “I promise to love, honor, support, blah, blah, blah — uh, providing my husband shuts his complainy yap about having to scale the Couch Alps whenever he wants to grab a beer out of the fridge.” (c)2022, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

LEGAL

by rob brezsny Lien Sales

ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

The Carib people from Surinam quote their mysterious Snake Spirit as follows: “I am the force of the spirit of the lightning eel, the thunder ax, the stone. I am the force of the firefly; thunder and lightning have I created.” I realize that what I’m about to say may sound far-fetched, but I suspect you will have access to powers that are comparable to the Snake Spirit’s in the coming weeks. In fact, your state of being reminds me of how Aries poet Marge Piercy expressed her quests for inspiration: “When I work, I am pure as an angel tiger, and clear is my eye and hot my brain and silent all the whining grunting piglets of the appetites.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

“It’s always too early to quit,” wrote cheerful author Norman Vincent Peale, who first popularized the idea of “positive thinking.” I’m an optimistic person myself, but I think his advice is excessively optimistic. On some occasions, it’s wise to withdraw your energy from a project or relationship you’ve been working on. Struggling to find relevance and redemption may reach a limit. Pushing ever onward might be fruitless and even harmful. However, I don’t think that now is one of those times for you, Taurus. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it is too early for you to quit.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“You can be as earnest and ridiculous as you need to be, if you don’t attempt it in isolation.” So says author Barbara Kingsolver. She adds, “The ridiculously earnest are known to travel in groups. And they are known to change the world.” In my view, this is perfect advice for you right now. If you and the members of your crew focus on coordinating your efforts, you could accomplish blazing amazements in the coming weeks. You may solve riddles that none of you has been able to decipher alone. You can synergize your efforts in such a way that everyone’s individual fate will be lifted up.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

About 200 years ago, poet William Wordsworth wrote, “Every great and original writer must himself create the taste by which he is to be relished.” Now I’ve come up with a variation on that wisdom: “Every great and original soul must herself create the taste by which she is to be understood and appreciated.” That’s what I hope you will work on in the coming weeks, Cancerian: fostering an ambiance in which you can be even better understood and appreciated. You now have extra power to teach people how to value you and get the best out of you.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“I hate housework!” complained comedian Joan Rivers. “You make

the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all over again.” I wish I could give you a six-month reprieve from having to attend to those chores, Leo. In fact, I’d love it if I could permanently authorize you to avoid all activities that distract you from thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures. But I’m afraid I can only exempt you from the nagging small stuff for just the next three weeks or so — four, tops. After that, you’ll have to do the dishes and make the beds again. But for the foreseeable future: Focus your energy on thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures!

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

A British plumber named Kev Crane worked for weeks to install a new bathroom at a private home. As he toiled, he passed the time by singing his favorite songs. He didn’t know that the homeowner, Paul Conneally, was the owner of a music label. So he was surprised and delighted when Conneally offered him a deal to record an album in the label’s studio. There may be a comparable development in your life during the coming weeks, Virgo. You could be noticed in new ways for what you do well. Your secret or unknown talents may be discovered or revealed. You might get invitations to show more of who you really are. Be alert for such opportunities.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

It’s the start of the Listening Season for you Libras. I propose a fullon celebration of listening: a threeweek Holiday of Paying Close Attention to Important and Interesting Words Being Said in Your Vicinity. Make yourself a magnet for useful revelations. Be alert for the rich information that becomes available as you show the world you would love to know more of its secrets. For inspiration, read these quotes. 1. You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time. —M. Scott Peck. 2. Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly. —my friend Jenna. 3. Listening is being able to be changed by the other person. —Alan Alda. 4. If you want to be listened to, you should put in time listening. —Marge Piercy. 5. Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“Worry doesn’t count as preparation,” writes author Lily Akerman. That sounds wise, but I don’t think it’s true in all cases. At its best, worrying may serve as a meditation that helps us analyze potential problems. It prompts us to imagine constructive actions we might take to forestall potential disruptions—and maybe even prevent them from erupting into actual disruptions. I bring these thoughts to

your attention, Scorpio, because now is an excellent time to engage in this kind of pondering. I declare the next three weeks to be your Season of Productive Worrying.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

If I had my way, you’d be a connoisseur of kisses in the coming weeks. You’d make it your intention to expand your repertoire of kissing styles and ask willing partners to do the same. You would give and receive unwieldy kisses, brave kisses, and mysterious kisses. You would explore foolish, sublime kisses and sincere but inscrutable kisses and awakening kisses that change the meaning of kisses altogether. Are you interested in pursuing this challenge? It will be best accomplished through unhurried, playful, luxurious efforts. There’s no goal except to have experimental fun.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

“Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days,” wrote author Flannery O’Connor. Her observation may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. And I’m offering it to you now, as you begin a phase when you can glean many new teachings about your childhood—insights that could prove handy for a long time to come. I encourage you to enjoy a deep dive into your memories of your young years. They have superb secrets to divulge.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected,” said author William Plomer. I agree with that. And I’m pleased to let you know that in the coming weeks, you will have more of this power to connect than you’ve had in a long time. I hope you will use it to link your fortunes to influences that inspire you. I hope you will wield it to build bridges between parts of your world that have been separate or alienated until now. And I hope you will deploy your enhanced capacity for blending and joining as you weave at least one magnificent new creation.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

“I use my intelligence to discover more ways of appreciating you,” Piscean author Anaïs Nin told her lover Henry Miller. In the coming weeks, I recommend you activate a similar ambition. Now is a time when you can enhance your close relationships with important allies by deepening your insight into them. What magic is at play within them that you haven’t fully recognized before? How could you better see and understand their mysteries? PS: You may be pleased when your deepening vision of them prompts them to extend the same favor toward you.

Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 06/15/2022, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
