Purple is the New Party

April Fool’s life by Paul Moomjean l paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

s I write this article, I’m overwhelmed by the fact that April 1 aka April Fool’s Day feels like it started two years ago and hasn’t quite ended. On top of all of the lunacy since the 2020 election, the storming of the capitol and the rate of inflation, the week leading up to the national prank day felt like an Onion article run amok. Whether it was a four-hour Oscar ceremony hijacked by Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, the most riotous Florida spring break ever, rising gas prices or the continued fighting between Russia and Ukraine even as peace talks resumed, nothing feels normal anymore. The week leading up to this article saw some of the most ridiculous headlines, and so much of this feels like the build up from a world under lockdown finally unloading. On March 27, during the Academy Awards ceremony’s live broadcast, after presenter Chris Rock’s joke about Will Smith’s wife went sour, Smith, the eventual

Best Actor winner, took matters into his own hand and slapped the comic across the face. No security was called. No cut to a commercial. We all just sat and watched an assault occur, and then a few minutes later they handed Smith a little gold man and standing ovation. Why didn’t anything happen to Smith? Deadline reported on Whoopi Goldberg’s insight as an Academy board member. “When pressed by some of her View co-hosts as to why Smith was asked to leave rather than told to leave, she speculated about what that scenario would look like: ‘They come . . . back from break, now if [Smith] is in some sort of state and he’s struggling and you’re trying to get him out the door and it’s on camera.’ She added that Oscar producers and organizers even considered the possibility that Smith was having ‘a manic moment, because that’s not what he’s known for, smacking people and stuff.’” (“Whoopi Goldberg explains why

Will Smith wasn’t ejected and defends standing ovation,” Greg Evans, March 31, 2022.) We have finally reached the moment where assault on television is tolerated and acceptable. Obviously, Smith is a hurt and sad man who decided to take the joke as an attack on his manhood and went after Rock, but with so many better ways to handle the roasting, you’d think an actor of his caliber could act cool. Meanwhile in Florida, spring breakers went way too far. USA Today reported, “Law enforcement officials in Bay County, Florida, said Sunday that they won’t tolerate the bad behavior from spring breakers after a 21-year-old from Alabama was shot in the foot Sunday during a shooting in Panama City Beach. ‘The crowd that has been here this weekend, there are no words that can describe the way they have behaved themselves, conducted themselves and the amount

of laws they have broken,’ Panama City Beach Police Chief J.R. Talamantez said Sunday after the shooting.” (“Florida officials say ‘there are no words’ to describe this year’s spring breakers,” March 29, 2022.) The amount of violence thrust upon our senses this past week is a reminder of what a post-modern society eventually becomes. It’s the Wild West again (the Wild Wild West in Smith’s case) when we decide right and wrong are based only on power and not morality. Smith sees his power slipping so he reacts. The young men in Florida see themselves as victims of society and they want to show off their status that they feel has been stripped from them. Meanwhile, the war between a hostile Russia and weaker Ukraine reached a breaking point that might end peace talks. The Associated Press reported on April 1, “The governor of Russia’s Belgorod region, Vyacheslav

Gladkov, said an airstrike on Russian soil by a pair of helicopter gunships caused fires and wounded two people. Several nearby businesses were also reported hit. ‘Certainly, this is not something that can be perceived as creating comfortable conditions for the continuation of the talks,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, five weeks into the war that has left thousands dead and driven more than 4 million refugees from Ukraine.” To say, “not something that can be perceived as creating comfortable conditions for the continuation of the talks” is the most politically correct way to say, “well, damn.” What an understatement. The world has gone crazy. Violence is going on unchecked. Gas and housing pricing are out of control. And World War III looks to creep into the history books soon. Sadly, when life is the joke, it makes all the other jokes that much less funny. Just ask Will Smith.

NEWS vcreporter.com Public Records Act requests cited as reason for lawsuit

Nearly $1 million cumulatively spent by Kimberly Rivers

ormer legal counsel for Meiners Oaks Water District (MOWD) says that a lawsuit the district initiated against a customer that cost the district $278,657 had nothing to do with providing water to its customers but was about the customer asking MOWD too many questions. With a trial date of March 7 narrowly averted, a lawsuit filed in 2018 by MOWD against customer Susan Moll has settled in an agreement that allows Moll to finally close a gate at the entrance to her property, although MOWD controls the gate mechanism, and includes a stipulation to the accuracy of a survey MOWD conducted at the property. According to Moll, she has spent well over $600,000 on costs, including attorney fees, associated with defending herself in the suit.

When asked by the Ventura County Reporter how the lawsuit and settlement agreement furthered MOWD’s mandate as a municipal water provider, Ventura-based attorney Lindsay Nielson, who was counsel for MOWD at the time the lawsuit was filed, said in a March 10 email that, “It has no impact on the district’s ability to deliver water to its customers. But it allows district staff to be freed from dealing with this issue that has caused a lot of staff time in responding to her many many demands for documents.” As previously reported by the VCReporter (“Uneasy neighbors: Thorny dispute embroils Meiners Oaks Water District and customer,” Kimberly Rivers, Feb. 3, 2022), interactions between MOWD and Moll began in 2016 when she purchased a home that neighbors the MOWD water tank property on Maricopa Highway north of Ojai. Over time those interactions

became disputes and Moll submitted requests and obtained public records from MOWD, all pursuant to the California Public Records Act (PRA). The settlement agreement also states that Moll, or anyone acting on her behalf when requesting public records from MOWD, is required to notice MOWD in advance of such requests to give the district an “opportunity to investigate” any “complaint, report or request” that may be related to the production of public records. Further, regardless of whether or not “the final outcome of the complaint or report is adverse to MOWD . . . [or] not adverse,” the agreement states, “MOLL shall be responsible for paying all of the costs incurred by MOWD in responding to the complaint, report, or request.” The PRA grants the public the right to request and obtain documents and information subject to

the PRA, and includes provisions that limit when a public entity can charge a member of the public for production of public records. When asked about this, Nielson stated, “I am a firm believer in the Public Records Act . . . Without it, government would act with impunity. But it can also be used as a club especially when there is a very small staff such as MOWD has.” Responding to a PRA request submitted by the VCReporter, as of March 10, 2022, MOWD has paid or been invoiced a total of $278,657 by the Venturabased law firm Hathaway Perrett Webster Powers Chrisman & Gutierrez to represent the district against Moll. That is in addition to the amount MOWD pays its in-house counsel, Stuart Nielson, Lindsay’s son. MOWD Board President Mike Etchart declined to comment, explaining that while the parties

have signed a settlement agreement, “a judgment based on the terms of the settlement agreement has not yet been entered by the court. Accordingly, the case remains pending.” He said that MOWD expects the court to “approve the settlement agreement and enter a judgment within the next month,” based on the court schedule. Etchart responded via text message to the VCReporter on Friday, March 11. Moll was without legal counsel and representing herself at the mediation earlier this month when the settlement agreement was discussed and Moll agreed to sign. The week after she signed it, Moll told the VCReporter that she felt pressured to sign, and in fact does not agree to the survey MOWD had recorded regarding her property lines. But she said she felt she had no other choice to move Continued on Page 8

Measures A, B campaigns in full swing VCSAFE coalition takes on oil and gas industry by Kimberly Rivers

grassroots coalition has formed in Ventura County to campaign for the passage of two ballot measures on the June 7 ballot. Measure A and Measure B, if passed by voters, will ensure that changes made to oil and gas permitting by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors are upheld. “In Ventura County [there] is a situation where one industry has two sets of rules,” said Merrill Berge, a resident of Camarillo, member of the Ventura County Resource Conservation Board and chair of the board of Climate First!-Replacing Oil and Gas (CFROG). She added that if the measures are passed by voters, “it will bring permits in line with modern [permitting standards]” and will force “all [oil] companies to play by the same rules.” Berge was speaking on March 10 during an online presentation of the new coalition, Ventura County Save Agriculture and Freshwater For Everybody. VCSAFE is advocating for the passage of Measures A and B, which will be on the June

7 primary election ballot. CFROG is a member of VCSAFE. “A ‘yes’ vote will ensure an environmental review [is done] before the well is drilled,” and will only apply to “expansion and any change in the kind of drilling that is done,” said Berge. “This is a David versus Goliath effort to better protect our . . . most essential resources of all.”

Updating “antiquated” permits

Berge explained that according to county records, over 5,000 permits governing oil and gas operations across the county were granted prior to 1970, when then Gov. Ronald Reagan signed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Berge said that while the state has regulations and oversight of the actual drilling and ongoing operations of the wells, operations governed by “antiquated” permits never underwent any environmental assessment, health impact studies or environmental justice reviews — all things required of oil and gas operations after CEQA was passed. These antiquated permits also contain no expiration dates, some-

thing standard for post-CEQA permits to enable the county to reassess and determine whether continued use jeopardizes public health and safety; a primary finding the county must make any time these permits are granted or renewed. According to Berge, these antiquated permits are “most egregiously void of any kind of environmental review before the drill hits the dirt,” and are only “regulated once the well has been drilled.” The passage of Measures A and B will mean that the county can conduct an “environmental review before a well is drilled going forward for proposed expansion and any change in the kind of drilling that is to be done.” Those types of reviews are so important, Berge explained, because in many locations oil wells are drilled through several layers of groundwater aquifers. This is the case in places like West Ventura, the Oxnard Plain, Camarillo, Santa Paula and Fillmore. As oil leases change hands and wells age, many wells become idle and old, and the cement casings become subject to leaking. Berge also noted that pre-CE-

QA permits allow for any kind of drilling, including “extreme” processes like hydraulic fracturing and cyclic steam. Today there are many processes available (and regulated) that were not available in the 1930s-50s when the permits were granted, so there are no restrictions on these antiquated permits. The oil industry frequently argues that there are a myriad of state and federal regulations to which it must adhere. That is accurate with regards to the act of drilling and ongoing “down hole” operations. However, it is the local agency with land use authority (in this case, Ventura County) which has the power to require local impact studies regarding health, air and disadvantaged communities in advance of drilling. That step is missing with the antiquated permits. According to Ventura County permitting information, over 127,000 acres of oil and gas operations are governed by these antiquated permits, which means that when an operator wants to drill another well, redrill or otherwise expand operations, the county is currently unable conduct a local

environmental review. Instead it is reviewed through a simple process called a zoning clearance, similar to what is used to grant marriage licenses and permits for backyard gazebos. As wells age, oil companies change hands and more “extreme” extraction methods are used, Berge said that there is “a real possibility of contamination.” This is particularly true where wells are drilled through “many layers” of groundwater aquifers; oil wells, active or idle, are potential conduits between oil and water. Measures A and B will “make sure that when a new oil project is proposed, or a well is drilled deeper,” there is “a local opportunity to evaluate the impacts to our air, water and soil. It is up to us,” said Berge.

Oil industry challenges VC supervisors

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors recognized the risk that antiquated permits create. After a four-year process of updating the county’s General Plan, which governs all land use, new rules called Continued on Page 8 April 7, 2022 — —7

Prepare kids for “insidious” organic infotainment

“

by David Goldstein You’re insidious!” my neighbor, Jim Polisini, said with a laugh. Insidiousness got a bad reputation after the Star Wars franchise gave the name “Darth Sidious” to the character referred to as “The Emperor” in the original trilogy. But even before then, I had never heard environmental outreach methods lampooned as insidious. Polisini was commenting on the strategy I, and other local recycling coordinators, are using to boost participation rates in the curbside food scrap recycling program. Since adults are harder to influence, we are targeting children. We are making videos and providing other material to teachers, so lessons about the importance of recycling food scraps will be taught in schools. If your child comes home from school one day and starts objecting to you tossing a banana peel in the garbage, you might agree with Polisini. Since the January launch of curb-

side food scrap recycling programs in Ventura County, increasing numbers of people are including food scraps in carts previously reserved for just yard clippings and lumber. However, as reported during a conference call last week with facility operators, the amount of food scraps collected through these recycling programs is far less than the amount our waste sort studies tell us is in the garbage. To comply with state mandates, reduce climate-changing emissions from rotting garbage in landfills, and enhance soil with mulch and compost, we must facilitate two changes in households throughout Ventura County. First, we must raise participation rates, which is the percentage of people regularly placing food scraps in their organics — formerly “yard waste” — carts. Second, we must boost capture rates, which is the percentage of food collected from participating households. If you want to be the recycling leader in your household, and not

She also did not understand that only she would be required to dismiss her subsequent claims. The terms of the settlement agreement, obtained by the VCReporter, essentially result in a judgment being entered in Ventura

County Superior Court against Moll, in support of MOWD’s claims that she trespassed when she removed a speed bump and added traffic safety bollards in a location MOWD claimed was on district property. Moll believed the area was on her parcel. In addition, the settlement terms provide that a revocable easement

“Measures A, B Campaigns...” continued from Page 7 for changes in oil and gas permitting processes in order to better protect public health. In light of climate change, the supervisors decided to amend county zoning ordinances pertaining to how requests for expanded oil and gas operations are processed by the county. In November 2020, the supervisors adopted, in a 3-2 vote, two ordinances that modified permitting rules for oil and gas operations governed by these antiquated permits. The adopted changes required that antiquated permits be governed by the same level of review demanded for oil and gas operations (and, indeed, all other types of businesses) permitted after 1970. 8—

— April 7, 2022

Following the supervisors’ action, a political action committee or PAC was formed and $1 million was raised. The PAC, called Working Families for Job and Energy Independence, received an initial contribution of $950,000 from AERA Energy, jointly owned by affiliates of Shell and ExxonMobil, which operates the Ventura Oil Field in West Ventura. This oil field is governed by an antiquated permit. Another $50,000 was contributed from the California Independent Petroleum Association (CIPA), an industry trade group that lobbies on behalf of oil operators. That PAC hired signature gatherers to obtain signatures in the county.

wait for your child to scold you into doing it, you can most easily both become a participant and maximize your home’s capture rate by starting at the point of waste generation. Put a labeled and lidded pail on your kitchen countertop, place a foot-activated flip-top container under your sink, or institute some other system to capture food scraps, separate from other garbage, in the kitchen. Someone in the household will have the unpleasant task of emptying the container into the organics cart regularly, but presumably, someone is already taking out the kitchen garbage, and it includes the same materials. As for the outreach to children, Ventura County is not alone in implementing this strategy. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is about to launch a super agent to win the hearts and minds of young people. It will be a talking turtle named Turner, which you will start to see later this month. What the

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles did to popularize the martial arts, this turtle just might do for recycling. Focusing environmental outreach on children to affect changes in homes is also not a new strategy. Perhaps the most notable example of this strategy occurred in 1991, when cities were deciding whether to implement curbside recycling programs and households were deciding whether and how to separate bottles, cans and paper from other garbage. The Take It Back Foundation, led by Stewart Levine and his wife Jolie Jones, daughter of musician and producer Quincy Jones, appealed to children and teens by producing a music video, which had its MTV premier on National Recycling Day, April 10, 1991. In the video, top musical celebrities Paula Abdul, Randy Newman, B.B. King, Ozzy Osbourne, Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Loggins and others rapped and cavorted with Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes characters while performing a song

across a triangle of disputed property be granted to Moll or any future property owner. She, or any future property owner, must obtain a liability insurance policy naming MOWD as an insured for that easement area. As part of the agreement, MOWD must also file to remove a “lis pendens” or lien against Moll’s property the district placed on it due to the pending litigation.

For decades MOWD has had a separate roadway access easement over the parcel Moll now owns and is not required to name the property owner as an insured on any policy. Moll said that due to the financial strain of defending herself in this lawsuit, compounded by having several attorneys walk away from representing her, she has had to sell the property, which

“They got all [the signatures] that they needed . . . forced it into a referendum . . . and on the ballot in June,” said Berge. These PACs claim that amendments to the oil permit process will impact jobs in the county. Berge, however, pointed out that the changes the supervisors adopted only apply to new or expanded operations. Existing operations will not be impacted, she said. The state’s referendum process was designed to allow the public in a certain jurisdiction to overrule an action taken by local elected officials when the public feels it doesn’t represent them. However, many public advocates today argue that the referendum process has become a “pay to play” process that actually shuts out a

truly grassroots effort, in favor of well-funded corporate campaigns. “This is really the industry attacking the people’s idea,” said Jan Dietrick, a West Ventura resident and longtime climate change activist with Ventura County Climate Hub.

Measures A, B on June ballot

Voters will see Measure A, for the coastal areas, and Measure B, for the non-coastal areas, on their ballot. Both ask if a certain ordinance should be adopted “to amend” existing ordinances. Both amendments are the same, they simply apply to coastal and non-coastal areas. Those existing ordinances are the changes the supervisors made in 2020.

With a nearly $300,000 grant from the California Department of Conservation, Take It Back Foundation distributed the video and a teachers’ guide to 15,000 public schools in our state.The words to the song included this memorable chorus: Don’t be no square, don’t be no chump, Don’t make this Earth a garbage dump, This planet screaming, “No more funk!” There’s no more room for no more junk.

1972 Little League champs celebrate 50 years of baseball and friendship by Tim Pompey

aseball is a sport as common as the dirt and grass upon which it is played. Here in Ventura County, there are many baseball success stories, including Carlos Luis “Charley” Hall (Ventura) aka “Sea Lion,” who pitched in the 1912 World Series for the Boston Red Sox; Fred Snodgrass (Oxnard), who is in Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame; and Terry Pendleton (Oxnard), who 10 —

— April 7, 2022

won the National League MVP award in 1991. But for most little leaguers, baseball seasons come and go. Kids grow up and move on. One thing, however, remains a common thread among players: baseball builds friendships. And here is where baseball holds a special memory, particularly in Oxnard’s Durley Park, where the Sunset Little League plays. In July and August of 1972, an all-star team of 14- and 15-year-old boys from a small neighborhood in South Oxnard bonded, played dozens of

games, traveled across the country, and eventually won a Little League National Championship. That was 50 years ago. But the friendships built from that experience have lasted through five decades. Three of those friends met and were interviewed by the Ventura County Reporter at the same park where they played as kids. Durley Park, located in South Oxnard near Hill and J streets, is bigger now, but the Sunset Little League has played there every spring since 1957. And as you might imagine, for teenage boys who won a championship,

these friends are still celebrating. Walter Moody (outfield) teaches English at Hueneme High School and coaches tennis there as well. He started playing tennis after baseball, and is now a certified professional with the United States Professional Tennis Association. Tom Barber (shortstop) is a quality program improvement specialist at the Oxnard Boys and Girls Club. Previously, he owned B&L Baseball Enterprises, which offered instructional baseball camps at Durley Park. Mike Olivera (outfield) is

retired from the County of Ventura Juvenile Hall, where he was a correctional officer for more than 20 years. These friends comprised a team of 13 boys plus their coach and manager. The Sunset Little League all-stars played 29 games, beginning in Oxnard, Ventura County and the San Fernando Valley, then on to the western regionals in Oregon, where they played teams from Arizona and Hawaii. They flew from Madras, in Central Oregon, to Gary, Indiana, with a regional title under their belts. They played and

lost to Puerto Rico, which meant they had to play more games in the tournament’s losers’ bracket. Their backs against the wall, they successively beat Florida, Germany, Mexico, Indiana and, finally, Pennsylvania for the championship. For the world title, they played and lost to Taipei, Taiwan. Remember this was 1972. No cell phones. No computers. No Internet.

No cable TV. This meant that baseball was the sport of choice for kids playing at Durley Park during the spring and summer, and they played a lot of baseball. They spent all day during the spring and summer at the park. They ate, slept and breathed the game.

A rite of passage

“I started playing when I was

7 years old,” said Olivera, “and I played until I was 18. Baseball was a rite of passage.” Describing their common backgrounds, he added: “We were the boys of the neighborhood. That’s what made this team unique. We all grew up together. We were innocents. We had Black people, white people, Mexicans, Asians, all living in the neighborhood.”

Barber had similar memories. “I grew up with baseball,” he recalled. “As far as I can remember, from the time I was 4 or 5 years old, I played baseball. It was just something that was ingrained. We spent all day out in the park. We were all together.” “Baseball meant everything to me,” said Moody. “We played baseball in the street. We played at the base. We played with Wiffle balls, rocks. We literally ate, slept and drank baseball. I think that’s one of the reasons why we were such a good team.” Playing baseball was the highlight of their summers together. “Other than when my kids were born,” Moody remarked, “that was the best time in my life. Shagging fly balls out there in the outfield.”

Formative experience

Of course, during the tour-

nament, kids and coaches from the other teams did not think of them quite so fondly. As Olivera recalled: “They laughed at us. They didn’t think we were serious.” “They saw a bunch of Black kids, Mexican kids and two white kids,” said Moody. “The perception was these guys don’t know what they’re doing. But then, we played between the lines. We left it on the field, and you had to beat us.” How did this baseball experience, especially winning a championship, shape their lives? “It made me a better person,” said Moody. “It showed me the importance of camaraderie, and no matter what happened, these guys had my back.” “Sports, the experience, the adversity we went through,” Barber noted. “In each of those tournaments, we could have just folded up. But just that will, that determination. So when I have faced tough situations in life, I just think back to that adversity, the circumstances we were up against, and I remember that I’ve been here before.” Of course, out of these experiences, some memories remain special. For Olivera, it was not a game. It was a chance encounter with another baseball fan. “We lost the first game in Gary, Indiana to Puerto Rico,” he recalled. “During our day off, I met a Black man in a wheelchair. I remember it vividly. He came up to us and told us: ‘You guys represent America.’ That memory has been with me all my life.” For Barber, it was winning the western regionals in Oregon. “After we won, it hit me,” he said. “Wow. We’re going to the World Series. We always talked about it, but it’s actually happening. That was the moment for me.”

“Brothers in baseball” continued from Page 11 cago’s O’Hare Airport to Gary, Indiana, Barber led us in singing ‘Amen.’ All the way to Gary.” For Moody, it was about a particular type of celebration. “Trying to get out of the sectionals in Oxnard, I remember our team being behind, and we would get together and say, ‘Okay, we gotta win because we want to go honking.’ We’d get in the back of somebody’s pickup and drive through town as they honked their horn.” But the best part of playing was the friendships, which are as strong today as they were 50 years ago. Barber insisted that “the experience with these guys will forever be etched and entwined. We’ll always be connected.” Moody said it clearly in a short sentence: “We are brothers.” For Andrew Arreola, current president of the Sunset Little League, the story of the 1972 championship continues to inspire Sunset Little Leaguers today. “Their stories have given us hope that a championship is possible, even today,” he stated. “It’s an honor to be a part of such a historic time and to hear these stories. It has a similar feel to the movies The Sandlot or The Perfect Game. It inspires me to encourage

our players to bring another championship to Oxnard and the Sunset Little League.” So, 50 years later, what does it mean to be a champion? “We just had fun,” Olivera said. “And to be champion, we had to work hard, and your teammates were your brothers. You had to pick each other up.” For Barber, it meant “accomplishing something that no one can take away.” Indeed, their championship plaque remains nailed to the league’s main office wall. As long as there is a Sunset Little League, that championship will be celebrated. For Moody, it had to do with accomplishing something bigger than themselves. “It was something that Russell Wilson said: Why not us? When you were playing with these guys, you knew you had to be on top of your game. You knew you had to give a hundred and ten percent. Having these guys for teammates. That’s what made me a champion, and it always will.” Sunset Little League, 500 Hill St., Oxnard. For game schedule and more information, visit www. sunsetlittleleague.org.

he children’s YouTube phenomenon Blippi will be coming to the Bank of America Performing Arts Center in Thousand Oaks as a musical on Saturday, April 9, with shows at 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. It promises to be a fun experience for the whole family. Tickets start at $42. “The show is a really great time for families to connect with their toddlers in a fun, engaging and energizing way,” said Josh Blackburn, producer from Round Room Live who helped adapt Blippi to the live stage. “It’s a fun night to celebrate with your family.” The show is 65 minutes with a 20-minute intermission. The eight-person cast will be performing hit songs like “The Excavator Song,” which was not featured in the first two iterations of the tour, and interacting with the audience through sing-alongs, dance-alongs and educational lessons. “Blippi is all about learning and playing together and discovering new things,” Blackburn said. “We have monster trucks and learning about fish under the sea and doing sign language with ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,’ all sorts of interactive pieces that the kids are more than happy to engage with.” Kids and parents also have the chance to purchase tickets for a meet and greet after the show with Blippi, which includes a photo op with him in the bucket of the excavator. Merchandise like the Blippi suspenders and hats will be available as well. Round Room has produced other live adaptations for kids like Peppa Pig, Baby Shark and PJ Masks. Blackburn got involved with Blippi the Musical after the gang reached out to Round Room in 2019 looking to bring their experience from the screen to the big stage. “This came up at the right time for both

of us,” Blackburn said. “At Round Room we like to do things a little more forward thinking. Blippi is an early adapter of taking a YouTube brand and turning it into a live stage show.” This run of the Blippi the Musical tour started Feb. 4 and will go through June 9, though more dates may be added. The original tour began in 2019 with a six-week run until the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020. The production was shut down for a year and a half. Live shows then returned in mid2021. Blackburn said there were no COVID outbreaks on the tour last year. Attendees to the Thousand Oaks show will need to abide by the current health and safety measures in effect, which may include wearing masks and providing proof of vaccination status and/or a negative COVID-19 test before the show. “We were one of the few touring companies that were able to figure out how to keep people safe and shows on the road,” Blackburn said. Although Blippi is not expected to return again to the live stage after his tour wraps up June 9, Blackburn said that organizers are hoping to bring the musical back again in the future. “You can expect a family fun night,” Blackburn said. “Kids are gonna love it. I hope they walk out smiling and singing.” Blippi the Musical comes to the stage on Saturday, April 9, with shows at 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., at the Fred Kavli Theatre of the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., Thousand Oaks. For tickets and more information, call 805-4492787 or visit bapacthousandoaks.com.

$12 lunch special with loaded mac, Texas toast and barbecue chicken.

A Country for all by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nshaffer@timespublications.com

A Bar Called Country

211 E. Santa Clara St., Ventura 805-628-3966 www.facebook.com/ABarCalledCountry $5-40

he space formerly known as The Tavern has reinvented itself. The one-time nightclub was a weekend hot spot where partiers flocked and the booze flowed easily. It reopened on New Year’s Eve 2021 as A Bar Called Country, but the changes go deeper than switching out techno for twang. For one thing, the entire interior has gotten a facelift. Surfaces have been cleaned, repainted or polished; leather club chairs and couches abound; the wood floors gleam; vinyl booths have been replaced with fine wood tables; and hanging from the ceiling are several large chandeliers looking straight out of The Gilded Age. More country gentleman than Wild West cowboy. While I can’t speak to its late-night crowd, A Bar Called Country does seem designed to appeal to many different types of people. Outside, there are lots of well-spaced picnic tables with umbrellas on the generously sized (and pet-friendly) grounds. Kids of all ages can enjoy the cornhole boards set up in the front yard, while in the back there’s an electric bull. Inside you’ll find fussball, shuffleboard and a pool table — all of which my two teenagers will be itching to try out. I don’t think this is a place just for families . . . but families (and people of all ages, from one to 100) would certainly feel welcome here. And I haven’t even touched on the food

Made-to-order berry lemonade. or drink! “Bar” is right in the name, and this establishment is fully committed to the concept. Adorning the shelves are one of the best selections of whiskeys I’ve seen in the area, along with all the other usual liquors. And sitting on the bar are glasses full of fresh herbs, citrus and fruit — an excellent sign. The cocktail menu includes a few specialties, such as a tequila-laced Rodeo Clown with strawberries and rosemary and a fruity rum drink called Ventucky Punch. I’m determined to try The Gump — simply described as “bartender’s choice.” Newfangled libations notwithstanding, I’d guess your standard old fashioned, margarita or mule are in safe hands: A Bar Called Country does have the look of a classic (if upscale) saloon. When I dined here, however, it was for lunch, so I asked the bartender what might be available Continued on Next Page

The mac was good; it would easily stand on its own as an a la carte order. Texas toast is . . . well, toast . . . but it was lovely with the rest of the platter. I was filled up and then some, and did not need a dessert . . . but the idea of freshly made peach cobbler was irresistible. I was surprised to see it served in a jar, like a trifle or parfait, but no matter — it went down easy. Imagine how good that will be once peaches are in season! Start to finish, my meal was wonderful. Plenty of food and flavor, a very comfortable — nice but not stuffy — atmosphere and room to spread out. I’m looking forward to coming back with the fam in tow and having a cocktail while I get my butt kicked in fussball. A Bar Called Country certainly lives up to its name, but it holds a multitude of experiences within its borders.

ADVICE GODDESS

Meat Cute

In using dating apps, I go by who looks cute in photos (followed by a call). But I keep going on dates and finding I have zero physical attraction to the guy. No spark. Big depressing waste of time. How do I prevent this? — Unhappy Hour Girl “Looks cute in photos” is a start. But vision is just one of our five senses, and a few of the others refuse to be left out of the “Hot or not?” action. I experienced this firsthand when this hot guy came up behind me in the coffee line, and I nearly passed out. Not because he’s just that hot, but because — despite his appearing recently showered — I found myself living a cop show cliche: that moment when the junior detective retches into a hanky, then makes a run for it to puke in the bushes. Beyond how a guy smells, there’s the pitch of his voice (“You da man!” versus “You da mouse!”) — along with stuff you can only see in person: how he moves and how tall he is. If, like most women, you’re a height queen, you might figure it’s because your dad cast a big shadow. In fact, in “Why Women Have Sex,” psychologists Cindy Meston and David Buss explain that much of what we’re into goes back waaaay further — to our “evolutionary past.” This might explain why my two female friends, standing right next to me in line, did not smell what I smelled. Or as one put it: “Hello, Crazy. Is there something medically wrong with your nose?” It probably comes down to our genes. Women are drawn to the scent of men with dissimilar immune system genes — with whom they’d make a baby with a broader set of defenses against disease — and grossed out by men whose immuno pack is redundant with theirs. In other words, all those dud dates are actually time well spent — and this goes double for the most disastrous. See them for what they can be: comedic gold — making you a sparklingly amusing addition to cocktail parties, where you might draw the eye of some Mr. LCIRL (“looks cute in real life”). Then and there, you’ll be able to see (and smell) all the man-vetting essentials — including his height actual as opposed to claimed on a dating app, where 6’2” is very often another way of writing almost 5’7”. #OKLiar

Guess Leak

I thought my (second) husband and I were happily married, but based on my past experience, the signs are there that he’s planning on leaving me. He’s going to the gym regularly, working later, eating healthy, and dressing better for work. At New Year’s, he did say his resolution was to improve himself and get ahead at 26 —

work to provide better for our family, but that seems too convenient. His recent behaviors are almost exactly like what my rotten first husband was doing when he left me. —Hate Reruns To be human is to leap to conclusions — when we aren’t doing Simone Biles-level gymnastics to avoid exploring the obvious: ”Hmm, might there be a connection between the bizarre shrinkage of all my clothes and my mowing through six jumbo bags of Doritos daily?” In my defense, Doritos are basically heroin you can pick up at the Piggly Wiggly. In your defense — for your Olympic long jump from “He’s eating healthy” to “He’s yet another dirtbag who’s leaving me” — our brains are pattern-spotting machines, hoovering up similarities in things and events. Sometimes these patterns are meaningful, or as science historian Michael Shermer puts it: “Sometimes A really is connected to B,” but often it is not. This mental sloppiness seems like a design flaw, but it’s actually a feature. We evolved to be protectively wrong — to err on the safe side — meaning make the least evolutionarily costly error: for example, going temporarily paranoid instead of potentially coming home to a house that’s permanently short one breadwinner. However, even temporary leeriness can take a lasting bite out of a relationship. To replace your assumptions with information, talk with your husband. Ask questions instead of making accusations. For example: “Awesome New Year’s rez. Love to hear what inspired these changes.” Evoke his empathy by telling him about the pattern that’s got you so worried. Open with “Okay, maybe crazy...” — though maybe anything but — because “Ugh, the workings of our minds” will get you more answers than the defensiveness-provoking “Ugh, you’re just like the last one.” Finally, look to history. Does his prior behavior over time — combined with the output from these other lines of inquiry — suggest he’s the sort to go “Toodles, wife and babies!” If not, what stinks in his gym locker probably isn’t a “go bag” with fake passports, $100K in cash, and plane tickets to a country that doesn’t extradite for himself and his, um, wife, Brittany Botox.

If this address is not correct or you wish to verify that the Temporary Restraining Order was converted into a restraining order at the hearing without substantive change, or to find out the duration of the order, contact the clerk of the court. After You Have Been Served With a Restraining Order - Obey all the orders. - Read form CH-120-INFO, How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders?, to learn how to respond to this Order. - If you want to respond, fill out form CH120, Response to Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders, and file it with the court clerk.

agree with the orders requested. Instructions for Law Enforcement Enforcing the Restraining Order This order is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown a copy of the order, or has verified its existence on the California Restraining and Protective Orders System (CARPOS). If the law enforcement agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, the agency must advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then must enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties. Start Date and End Date of Orders This order starts on the date next to the judge's signature on page 4. The order ends on the expiration date in item 4 on page 1. Arrest Required if Order Is Violated If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order, the officer must arrest the restrained person. (Pen. Code, §§ 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6. Agencies are encouraged to enter violation messages into CARPOS. Notice/Proof of Service The law enforcement agency must first determine if the restrained person had notice of the order. Consider the restrained person "served" (given notice) if (Pen. Code, §836(c)(2)): • The officer sees a copy of the Proof of Service or confirms that the Proof of Service is on file; or • The restrained person was informed of the order by an officer. An officer can obtain information about the contents of the order and proof of service in CARPOS. If proof of service on the restrained person cannot be verified, the agency must advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then enforce it. If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact the restrained person, this order remains in effect and must be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The order can be changed only by another court order. (Pen. Code, §13710(b).) Conflicting Orders - Priorities for Enforcement If more than one restraining order has been issued, the orders must be enforced according to the following priorities 1. EPO: If one of the orders is an Emergency Protective Order (form EPO001) and is more restrictive than other restraining or protective orders, it has precedence in enforcement over all other orders. 2. No Contact Order: If there is no EPO, a no-contact order that is included in a restraining or protective order has precedence over any other restraining or protective order. 3. Criminal Order: If none of the orders includes a no contact order, a domestic violence protective order issued in a criminal case takes precedence in enforcement over any conflicting civil court order. Any nonconflicting terms of the civil restraining order remain in effect and enforceable. 4. Family, Juvenile, or Civil Order: If more than one family, juvenile, or other civil restraining or protective order has been issued, the one that was issued last must be enforced.

Trustee’s Sales

of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 18-31100-PMCA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
