Purple is the New Party

2024 and beyond by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com s we enter the heart of the summer of 2022, there are two burning questions: How much more money can Top Gun: Maverick make and who is going to be running for president in 2024? Okay. Maybe neither of these are the top two questions, but both play a significant role in looking to the future. If the $1 billion grossing Top Gun sequel and Netflix record-breaking season of Stranger Things have taught us anything, the country and the world are yearning for nostalgia. The fact that 1980s appreciation has swept across our popular culture platforms proves that we still seek the past more than we do the future. So, if we can look at each era as having its own identity, with the ’80s and ’90s looking forward and a post9/11 and pandemic culture looking backwards, then I think we can agree that the future of our political landscape is wrapped in the com-

fort of what we know instead of the uncertainty of what we don’t know. If you look at how we elect presidents since the invention of televised debates in the 1960s, you’ll see how important good looks and charisma became. But as time went on, the country started looking to relics to lead us. If Ronald Reagan was a throwback to old Hollywood heroes, and George H.W. Bush an ode to moderate Teddy Roosevelt conservatism, then Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were novelties to the “look forward” and “hope” crowds. But through the past two elections, we’ve gone backward. We’ve relied on the past to make us feel good about our future. The GOP tried to move forward in 2016 with Marco Rubio, only to watch him be evaporated by Trump and Chris Christie. The DNC threw Pete Buttigieg out there, only to watch him fail. Heck, even Bernie Sanders has been more popular. Ironically, by having back-to-back dinosaurs as president, the American people have buyer’s remorse,

but will it change voting patterns? CNN reports, “[Trump’s] favorable rating stands at 43% with an unfavorable rating of 52%. That makes for a net favorability rating of -9 points.” (“Donald Trump has become more popular since the January 6 Capitol attack,” Harry Enten, June 11, 2022.) Later, CNN reported that “In a new Monmouth University poll, just 36% of Americans approve of the job Joe Biden is doing — the lowest mark of his presidency to date in the survey.” (“How low can Joe Biden go in the polls?” Chris Cillizza, July 6, 2022.) As for the next election, two names keep popping up: California Governor Gavin Newsom and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Both became stars as their states handled the coronavirus differently. Newsom shut California down and faced being recalled. DeSantis opened up and watched growth, until calling out Disney for their opposition to anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Both are looking to run

in 2024, yet they couldn’t be any different. Newsom has been calling out the DNC for not fighting for Roe v. Wade, encouraging Floridians to move to California where he promises to keep a pro-choice option. “Everybody is trying to be relevant for the next race. [Newsom] came through the recall election and he’s doing a pretty good job as governor. However, I think ambition makes people do different things,” said Cedric Richmond, a former senior Biden White House official, in a June 23 article published by Politico (“Gavin Newsom jumps onto the national stage and Bidenworld takes notice,” Christopher Cadelago and David Siders). The same article also quoted DNC contributor John Morgan: “They don’t know if Biden is going to run or not . . . They are thinking, ‘I don’t know if I am going to be at the swim meet or not, but I am going to put my bathing suit on anyway.’” What Newsom has going for

him more than anything is those classical good looks. “He looks like a million dollars,” Morgan added of Newsom. “And he looks at the Democratic bench and he doesn’t see anyone sitting there, so he says, ‘I am going to sit there.’” Newsom’s critics see him as the empty suit. Rich Pedroncelli of the Wall Street Journal wrote an op-ed about how dangerous of a move it would be for Newsom to leave the safe left coast nest. “Once Mr. Newsom takes his show on the road, he’ll quickly find the scrutiny that has escaped him in California. His slicked-back act won’t play in Iowa cornfields, New Hampshire snows or South Carolina towns.” Meanwhile DeSantis has started fundraising in Utah and is slowly trying to find his footing as a national player. While both these men see themselves as the future of their parties, if history is doomed to repeat itself, I’m still predicting a Biden v. Trump 2024 election, unless the ’80s “hasbeens” tell us otherwise.

NEWS “A project for the community” Former Ojai Valley Bowl could become restaurant and recreation venue by Alex Wilson

awilson@timespublications.com t’s been decades since anyone enjoyed bowling in Ojai, but now the site of a vacant and dilapidated bowling alley could be transformed into a farm-to-table restaurant featuring outdoor games including bocce ball, shuffleboard and ping pong. The idea for the 1.64-acre property received a mostly positive response from the Ojai Planning Commission at a July 6 “concept review” meeting. Ojai-based landscape architect Bill Mellett told the Ventura County Reporter after the meeting that he hopes the restaurant featuring indoor and outdoor seating amid extensive landscaping with oak and sycamore trees will be a draw for Ojai residents and visitors alike. “It’s an exciting project. It’s a project for the community,” said Mellett. The former Ojai Valley Bowl is on a commercial stretch of Ojai Avenue lined with hotels, restaurants and boutiques. City documents say the bowling alley at 1202 East Ojai Avenue

was “abandoned” in the 1990s based on the last business license issued for the site. Several uses have been proposed since the bowling alley’s closure including retail, manufacturing and office space. A boutique hotel proposal was also discussed by the planning commission in 2016. But things could finally be turning around for the property, considered one of the most blighted in Ojai, thanks to the latest proposal by the owners of Ojai Mountain Farm, located in the Upper Ojai Valley. Tony Yanow owns both Ojai Mountain Farm and the bowling alley property. He addressed the commission from Europe via an audio link and said the restaurant location in the center of Ojai will be an extension of Ojai Mountain Farm which he described as “organic and regenerative.” “Our goal is to have grounds that exemplify a lot of the things that we’re growing up at the farm,” he told commissioners. “So small example gardens of some of the things that we’re growing for patrons to enjoy and walk through, and get a sense of what kinds of stuff we’re doing.” Yanow said he plans to sell produce grown at the farm from a deli inside the building and make dishes with the farm's produce as well. “This is about as local a project as you could want. Everything’s coming from the Ojai Valley or Upper Ojai

Sierra Northern moves to Santa Paula Railroad company leases former hay and grain building by Alex Wilson

awilson@timespublications.com anta Paula city officials are hoping the July 1 move into town by a Northern California railroad company will propel the city’s image as a destination for tourists who may one day board excursion trains from the city’s historic train depot. “We’re looking forward to being able to share the beauty and charm of Santa Paula,” said Santa Paula public information officer Jonathan Royas, even though it’s not yet decided where passengers would board excursion trains in the future. Sierra Northern Railway has 6—

— July 14, 2022

leased the former Santa Paula Hay and Grain building for a base of operations after contract negotiations reached the end of the line for city-owned property in Fillmore where tourist trains once departed and the company had offices. The major shift for local railroad operations came after Sierra Northern signed a 30-year lease for use of the Santa Paula Branch Line tracks and right-of-way which is owned by the Ventura County Transportation Commission and stretches from Ventura to Piru. The building leased by the company in Santa Paula is only expected to be used for a year or two, but Royas said it’s a positive development that Sierra Northern Railway now has their base of operations in Santa Paula. “We’re happy to welcome Sierra Northern to Santa Paula and we look forward to working with them,”

and being shared with residents and guests,” Yanow explained. He said he expected that the old bowling alley would need to be completely torn down when he bought the property to redevelop, but the architects figured out a way to reuse some of the old 16,000 square foot building, including the steel beams, in creating the restaurant that will be about half that size. Architect Marc Whitman said it will be a fun place to hang out while enjoying food and drinks, similar to other restaurants Yanow owns, such as nearby Ojai Pub. “He’s famous for doing these family-friendly brew pubs,” Whitman said of Yanow. “He’s a restaurateur and he’s kind of known for bringing in games and an atmosphere that’s conducive to kids and families to enjoy. He’s like the game master, he’s got all these games he’s going to bring into it.” Mellett said the grounds will have extensive landscaping and other amenities for customers to enjoy. “There’s a potential splash pad for the kids to play in. There’s a dry stream bed that during rain events would contain water and then go dry in the off season. There may be a small recirculating water feature.” In addition to the landscaping that will replace much of a vast parking lot, the project will also include a pho-

Charging stations for electric cars are also planned that will have their own solar panels on top and will be built in an artistic way, according to the plan. Commissioner Judy Murphy said she was happy with the details presented. “The concept is wonderful, I really like the landscaping.” Gabriel Reilly lives next to the proposed restaurant and told the planning commission that it would improve the neighborhood. “I think it’s a really cool project so I’d love to see it happen. That bowling alley is certainly a blight.” After the meeting, Whitman said he was happy with the reactions from

the commissioners and neighbors about the plan. “We couldn’t be more happy with the feedback. The comments are fairly receptive of the project. There were some comments about noise so we hope to address those when we come back,” he said. The planning commission did not take any formal action on the plan since it was only up for conceptual review. The next steps will involve a formal submittal to the city which will include a study on lighting impacts. Since the project still has a long way to go through the planning process, it’s expected it will take at least two years before it’s built if it ultimately wins approval from city leaders.

“Sierra Northern moves to Santa Paula” Continued from page 6 “We’re really not interested in the freight operation that they plan to bring,” Royas said. Sierra Northern Ventura Division Manager Matt Blackburn said the building leased as a temporary base of operations will be used for things like offices and storing trucks, but not ticket sales and boarding for excursion trains. The 1.5-acre property has a 4,000-square-foot building. While there are train tracks next to the property, for the long term,

company officials are looking for a property where they can build new rails for their base of operations, Blackburn explained. While it’s still unclear where the excursion trains will board, Blackburn said they hope to have them running by the end of the year. The tourist trains will be operated by a sister company, Mendocino Railroad, which runs the popular Skunk Train in Fort Bragg that takes passengers through scenic forested

mountains. Blackburn said railbike tours are offered along the Skunk Train line as well as a route near Sacramento where the River Fox Train also carries sightseers. The railbike rentals on those lines are a big hit with people who’ve tried them out, he said. Railbikes have pedals as well as an electric motor for an added boost. “They like it because it’s something fun and different. It’s a different way to get out and explore. It’s a very nice and relaxing ride. You get to see different things you don’t get

to see. For example you may be able to see a little more wildlife because they’re not as loud as a train,” he said. Blackburn said they also want to bring back holiday-themed excursion trains like ones that took people to a Christmas tree farm to cut down trees when the branch line was previously leased by Fillmore and Western Railway. While Sierra Northern is in the process of moving off property owned by the city of Fillmore, the company will continue to have a

presence in Fillmore. Tracks the company is leasing from the VCTC in Fillmore will continue to be used for storing trains, Blackburn said. The VCReporter asked Fillmore City Manager David Rowlands if Fillmore residents are disappointed that negotiations to keep the excursion train operation in Fillmore did not pan out with Sierra Northern. “I think the residents trusted the city and did what was best for the city,” Rowlands said. “We wish them well in Santa Paula.”

LEGAL NOTICE

If you were affected by the 2015 Santa Barbara Oil Spill, you may be entitled to a payment from a class action settlement A Federal Court authorized this Notice. Para una notificación en español, visite: www.PlainsOilSpillSettlement.com Để nhận thông báo tiếng Việt, vui lòng truy cập: www.PlainsOilSpillSettlement.com 如需中文通知，请访问：www.PlainsOilSpillSettlement.com

A Settlement has been reached in the class action lawsuit called Andrews et al. v. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. et al., No. 2:15-cv-04113 (PSG:JEM) (C.D. Cal.).

What is this about? The lawsuit claims that Plains All American Pipeline L.P. and Plains Pipeline L.P. (“Plains” or “Defendants”) caused an underground pipeline to rupture, resulting in an oil spill along the coast in Santa Barbara County on May 19, 2015. The Settlement is on behalf of members of the Fisher Class and Property Class previously certified by this Court. Plaintiffs for the Fisher Class allege the spill caused long term harm to commercial fishing in the affected class blocks, including significant financial losses. Plaintiffs for the Property Class allege that owners and lessees were unable to use and enjoy their properties as a result of the spill because oil washed up onto their properties and onto beaches adjacent to their properties. Plains denies any claims of wrongdoing and disputes all claims. The Settlement, if approved by the Court, will resolve all remaining claims in the class action litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Fisher Class Settlement is $184 million, and the Property Class Settlement is $46 million, inclusive of attorneys’ fees and costs. The Court has not decided whether Plaintiffs or Defendants should win this Litigation. The Settling Parties do not agree on whether Plaintiffs would have prevailed on any of their claims against Plains, or the amount of damages, if any, that would be recoverable if the Class prevailed on the claims alleged. Instead, both sides agreed to the Settlement after years of contested litigation, including at the motion to dismiss, class certification, and summary judgment stages. The Parties had also completed substantial discovery and were preparing for trial to commence on June 2, 2022.

Who is affected? You are a Fisher Class Member if you are a person or business who owned or worked on a vessel that was in operation as of May 19, 2015 and that: (1) landed any commercial seafood in California Department of Fish & Wildlife (“CDFW”) fishing blocks 654, 655, or 656; or (2) landed any commercial seafood, except groundfish or highly migratory species (as defined by the CDFW and the Pacific Fishery Management Council), in CDFW fishing blocks 651-656, 664-670, 678-686, 701-707, 718-726, 739-746, 760-765, or 806-809; from May 19, 2010 to May 19, 2015, inclusive; or if you are a person or business in operation as of May 19, 2015 who purchased such commercial seafood directly from the Commercial Fishers and re-sold it at the retail or wholesale level. You can find out if you are a Fisher Class Member by going to www.PlainsOilSpillSettlement.com.

You are a Property Class Member if you owned or leased residential beachfront property or property with a private easement to a beach where oil from the 2015 Santa Barbara oil spill washed up and the oiling was categorized as heavy, moderate, or light. You can find out if your property is included by going to www.PlainsOilSpillSettlement.com, where a list of properties Plaintiffs claim were impacted is posted.

What does the Settlement provide? The Settlement, if approved, will result in the creation of two cash settlement funds of $184,000,000 (the “Fisher Class Settlement Amount”) and $46,000,000 (“the Property Class Settlement Amount”), together with any interest earned thereon, the “Fisher Class Common Fund” and “Property Class Common Fund,” respectively. Each of the common funds less (a) any Taxes and Tax Expenses; (b) any Notice and Administration Expenses; and (c) any attorneys’ fees and costs and any service awards to Class Representatives in connection with their representation of the Class, awarded by the Court (the “Net Settlement Funds”), will be distributed to eligible Class Members pursuant to a proposed plan of distribution (“Plan of Distribution”). If you are entitled to relief under the Settlement, the Settlement Administrator will determine your portion of the Net Settlement Fund payable to you pursuant to the Court-approved Plan of Distribution.

Who represents the Class? The Court has appointed Lieff Cabraser Heimann Bernstein LLP, Keller Rohrback L.L.P., Cappello & Noel LLP, and Audet & Partners, LLP (“Class Counsel”) to be the attorneys representing the Class. You will not be charged for these lawyers. Class Counsel will apply to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees in an amount not to exceed 33% of the total Settlement Amount (no more than $60,720,000 from the Fisher Class Settlement Amount and $15,180,000 from the Property Class Settlement Amount). In addition, Class Counsel will apply to the Court for reimbursement of their litigation expenses (in an amount not to exceed $5.2 million from the Fisher Class Settlement Amount and $1.3 million from the Property Class Settlement Amount). If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense.

What do I need to do to? If you are a Class Member and you wish to get money from the Settlement, you are required to submit a Claim Form available at www.PlainsOilSpillSettlement.com, or by calling the toll-free number 1‐844-202-9486 to request that a hard copy Claim Form be mailed to you.

Ventura’s Surf Rodeo returns July 15-17 The Surf Rodeo Crew is ready to party at Ventu ra Pier this weekend.

rfers of al wgirls and su Cowboys, co Surf Rodeo. together at

by Marina Dunbar l Photos by Chris Mortenson he annual Surf Rodeo Festival is returning to the Ventura Pier on July 15, 16 and 17. Voted the No. 1 music festival in Ventura County, the event features three days of live music, surfing and various beach activities with a Western-themed twist. In addition to offering ample fun and sunshine to festival goers, the rodeo also supports several local charities. Surf Rodeo works to make sure that Ventura is not only having fun, but that the community is well cared for as well. This year’s Surf Rodeo will feature a variety of activities, both classics and new additions. There will of course be the Surf Contest with vintage surfboards, the Cornhole Tournament, the Greased Pig Saddle Race, a hay bale obstacle course, the notorious Cowgirl (and now Cowboy) mechanical bull-riding contest, and many others. The festival also includes live performances by over 40 bands, a charity raffle of a 1963 Ford Econoline Pickup Truck, and the world’s largest beach bar. 12 —

— July 14, 2022

“The original idea was to take the seriousness out of surfing and make it something really fun and that involved the community,” says Tami Winbury, one of the event’s organizers. “It started to attract big names . . . Jack Johnson used to come, Kelly Slater. It started in 1997 and continued for five years, they took a 10-year break and started again in 2013 and that’s when I got involved. We got together a whole big crew of people and we brought it back!” But before it became a big crew and a massive project, it began as the brainchild of a small group of friends. This group included surf-enthusiast JD Drury. “We all come from a background of surfing, lots of contests and such,” explains Drury. “We didn’t want to make just another boring surf contest. That’s where the idea to use old-school surf boards, cowboy hats and to make it a western theme and call it Surf Rodeo came from.” For over a century, Ventura has been the home to a prolific ranching community. Those from outside the area might not expect a Cal-

ifornia coastal county to accommodate cowboys, but any Ventura resident can tell you that the ranches of Ojai and Somis are just as central to the community as our golden beaches. Surf Rodeo recognizes this juxtaposition. “We do have real cowboys that come to the rodeo . . . Ventura really does have a lot of cowboys and surfers, so it makes sense for those two cultures to co-mingle for a weekend,” explains Drury.

Giving Back

The festival also recognizes the importance of sustaining a community and is very involved with various local charities. It has given over $60,000 to the Boys & Girls Club since 2013. All the money from this year’s truck raffle will go to Boys & Girls Club as well as the Young and Brave Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to providing support to families battling cancer. Surf Rodeo also supports A Walk on Water, where pro surfers provide lessons and surf therapy to children with disabilities, in addition to several other charities.

“For us, giving back to the community has always been one of our top projects,” says Winbury. “We always make a point to include the nonprofits.” “It’s important to give back and be a community,” Drury adds. “We’re a very community-based event . . . The energy is really bubbling as far as people wanting to get back out there and come to the rodeo. We have a lot of local bands performing but we have national acts, too. So, at the same time that it’s [the] community, it’s also people from beyond Ventura coming to have a good time.” If enjoying Ventura’s iconic beach, connecting with your community and supporting local charities sounds like a good time to you, head on down to the Ventura Pier this weekend for Surf Rodeo. Surf Rodeo takes place Friday-Sunday, July 15-17, at the Ventura Pier, 450 E. Harbor Blvd., Ventura. Tickets start at $39. For tickets, full schedule and more information, visit surfrodeo.org.

Reanimated

British Invasion alums the Zombies coming to Ojai by Dave Gil de Rubio for Last Word Features

reg Lake once said that making a comeback with dignity was one of the most difficult things to do. That said, the late Emerson, Lake and Palmer founding member must have missed out on what was going on with his fellow countrymen, the Zombies. That latter group broke up virtually penniless in 1967, only to see Odessey and Oracle, their 1968 sophomore bow, spawn the 1969 American top three hit “Time of the Season.” By then the individual members had moved on to other projects. Fast forward six decades to 1999, and founding members Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent hit the road to perform as a duo, before evolving into a full-blown Zombies reunion that’s carried on to the present day. It’s an astonishing turnabout for this beloved baroque pop act that not only received critical acclaim, but earned themselves a devoted cult following that translated into the group’s induction in 2019 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The ever-modest Blunstone is humble about the response and affection his band has been receiving at this late date. “Isn’t [our] induction incredible? I’m really thrilled, actually. Firstly, that loyal and tenacious fans voted over 320,000 times for us in the fan vote. It’s just mind-boggling to me that you can get 320,000 votes. And secondly, that the members of the Rock Hall should have voted to induct us because all musicians are looking for peer group acceptance,” he admitted. “It’s such a lift 14 —

to get that kind of reaction from fellow professionals. It’s really beyond my wildest imagination that we should be honored in this way and I’m extremely grateful.” Also known for their other 1964 hits, “She’s Not There” and “Tell Her No,” the Zombies arrived as part of the British Invasion alongside the Animals, the Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits, the Hollies, the Kinks and the Dave Clark Five. Only 18 when the band was started, Argent and Blunstone were joined by fellow St. Albans natives Hugh Grundy, future A&R exec Paul Atkinson and Paul Arnold, who was replaced by Chris White when the band went to record its first album. The combination of Blunstone’s airy vocal phrasing and Argent’s deftly played organ runs gave the band’s material a sophisticated, chamber pop nuance that took them beyond the charts and earned them a number of latter-day famous fans, including the late Tom Petty and Paul Weller. The posthumous fame the Zombies had after their first break-up led to an odd situation where American promoters wound up putting three different fake Zombies groups on the road in 1969 to capitalize on the success of “Time of the Season.” In those pre-Internet days, when fans only knew what the band sounded like and couldn’t use Google to see what they looked like, it was an easy scam to pull off. One outfit even included Frank Beard and Dusty Hill, the future rhythm section of ZZ Top. The actual Zombies were eventually told about this and White talked to the manager of one of these fake groups for an article that was eventually written about this sce-

vcreporter.com nario. Blunstone gets a kick out of this anecdote. “Someone at Rolling Stone (magazine) got Chris White to come into their office and phone the manager of one of these bands and not say who he was,” Blunstone recalled. “Chris then asked him to explain about the Zombies band. So the manager told him this story about how they were all huge fans of the Zombies and since the lead singer was killed in a car crash, they wanted to honor him and the band by keeping the music going, and that’s why they were playing [under our name]. Then Chris White told him he was the Zombies bass player and that the lead singer wasn’t in a car crash. Reading this in print, it was almost like reading my obituary when I was 22 years old.” Despite the band breaking up, the Zombies stayed in touch. Argent and White went on to find success, while Blunstone reaped his own solo acclaim in the UK with a string of hits that never quite cracked the American market. Argent and White even produced Blunstone’s first two solo outings (which have recently both been re-released in deluxe editions), and White took the production helm for Blunstone’s 1974 effort Journey. The latter-day Zombies roster found Blunstone and Argent rounding out the lineup with guitarist Tom Toomey, the late Jim Rodford on bass and Rodford’s son, Steve, on drums. Rodford, who was Argent’s first cousin, was previously the Kinks bassist from 1978 until 1996. He joined the Zombies in 2004 and played with them until his death on Jan. 20,

MUSIC 2018. A memorial service/musical performance was held on the year-anniversary of his death in his hometown of St. Albans. Joining Argent and Blunstone were the surviving members of the Zombies, Chris White and Hugh Grundy (Atkinson died in 2004) and opening the show was ARC, made up of Rodford’s granddaughters, Anya and Cara, and his son, Russ. It was a cherished moment for Blunstone. “I like to think that Jim was smiling down at us and enjoying the evening,” Blunstone said. “It was an emotional evening with tinges of sadness, but it turned out to be a wonderful evening as well with plenty of laughter.” Showing no signs of slowing down, Blunstone is busy touring solo and with the Zombies, with plans to record a new album with the latter. It’s all a bit of a whirlwind that the vocalist intends to embrace at every turn. “So in the last few years, things have gone very well for the Zombies. We’re mature enough now to really appreciate it, because we know how tough this business is,” he said. “That’s why I think we’re very fortunate to enjoy this kind of adventure at this time in our lives. It doesn’t happen to many people that they get these kinds of opportunities at this time in their lives. Believe me, we’re really, really enjoying it and what we’re thinking about is what comes next.” ♦ The Zombies perform on Friday, July 22, at 5 p.m. at Libbey Bowl, 210 S. Signal St., Ojai.

KEEPIN’ IT LOCAL SALZER’S VIDEO REIMAGINED

WITH ROOTS BORN AND BRED IN VENTURA

A new proposal looks to reinvigorate the iconic Salzer’s Video by echoing the shared values of two local family-run businesses. Salzer’s and Safeport have partnered together to breathe new life into the beloved video store where locals explored countless film titles for more than 40 years. Safeport is one of eight applicants vying for an exclusive three commercial retail permits in the City of Ventura. Their common vision to revitalize the two-story building, which is nestled against the Historic Ventura Highway and Victoria Avenue, into a premium retail cannabis dispensary with a mission to offer an upscale guest experience and a commitment to preserving the integrity and unique charm of Ventura.

ROOTED IN COMMUNITY

Local legend Jim Salzer was a predominant presence in Ventura County for over 50 years. Salzer’s Records, which is situated across the street from its former video counterpart, is a beacon for music lovers to discover sound ranging from underground to mainstream artists. The Salzer family dedicated their passions

towards sharing their love for creativity and artist expression with their local neighbors. For the last seven years, they envisioned reinventing the video store into a cannabis retail location and awaited a partnership that embodied everything the Salzer family believed in. Tragically, the family was devastated with the passing of Jim in 2020 and are charging forward to continue his dream through an equally passionate and local business family: The Jarvis’. The Jarvis family is also no stranger when it comes to running businesses in Ventura County. While Jim Salzer was hitting his stride at Salzer’s Records, the Jarvis family was running Channel Islands Boat Yard blocks away from their family home before embarking on a cannabis business venture in 2018. Safeport, a namesake inspired by their nautical ties, offers a premium cannabis experience to its customers. The business continues to be solely operated by the family. Through each passing of business operations for multiple generations, it is evident that both organizations demonstrate a shared fervor for their coastal home. They have identified many local causes in the community and continue to help out through

volunteer hours or donations. Their common values profoundly resonate with these two local families through their contributions to the neighborhoods they operate in.

EYE ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Safeport is a forward-thinking leader in protecting the environment. Partnerships with organizations like the Ventura Land Trust and the Santa Clara River Conservancy. These organizations are charged with preserving the local land and stewarding open spaces for future generations to enjoy. From the beginning, Safeport has always strived to support environmental causes in the community they live in. Efforts throughout the county range from hosting annual beach clean ups to trail maintenance and more. Diversified in their approach to energy efficiency and pollution reductions, Safeport aims to offer reusable products for customers and incentives for staff to elect to integrate cleaner modes of transportation on their commutes in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

SUPPORTING THE UNSHELTERED

Safeport has extended a helping hand towards the unsheltered community since its inception in 2018. Starting with supplying Port Hueneme’s shelter with beds months after their opening as well as partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County which strives to build a county where everyone has a safe, decent place to live. As Safeport has grown, so has its efforts to support the unsheltered. This was shown by their sponsoring the Oxnard Sleep Out Program which was created in the Oxnard community to implement a permanent funding solution for its unsheltered residents. With the proposed location in Ventura, Safeport is committed to working with the City and County in an attempt to support the

unsheltered in the Ventura community. Safeport is sensitive to the unsheltered population that lives within our community and is committed to supporting this group through financial and physical support.

VISION FOR THE FUTURE

Safeport offers one of the most extensive product line-ups in Ventura County and currently runs a successful retail store in Port Hueneme since 2018. The proposed Ventura site serves as an optimal location for its significant distance from residential areas, schools, daycares or other locations with considerations to sensitive uses. The site is also aptly situated for sufficient access for customers and the surrounding roadways are robust enough to limit any potential traffic impacts.

Safeport Co Owner and Founder, Nancy Jarvis at their collabrative Wildlife Habit Improvement Program with Ventura Land Trust & Topa Topa Brewing Co. Nancy says, “I am so glad that through the creation of Safeport we could rally over fifty volunteers from customers to our staff to help Ventura Land Trust with their W.H.I.P program and support the growth of the young Oak trees in Harmon Canyon Preserve.”

Thanks to Safeport,

“ Ventura Land Trust has been better able to accomplish our work and serve our community. In May, we partnered with Safeport and Topa Topa Brewing Co. to conduct a volunteer service day at Harmon Canyon. More than 50 volunteers turned out & removed enough invasive plants to fill three large dumpsters! “

Owners Nancy and Lonnie Jarvis are currently expanding operations for new retail, distribution and manufacturing locations in Oxnard, set to open this spring. Yet their dream has always been to set up shop in their hometown of Ventura and that vision is just within grasp. They will soon discover if Safeport Ventura manifests its way into reality and resurrects the Salzer’s Video site in the coming months.

We began working on the idea of turning the Video Store into a dispensary over 7 years ago. We met with over a dozen different groups trying to find the right fit. While Jim Salzer passed away in March of 2020, we continued searching until we found the perfect match with Safeport.

Safeport’s plan to revitalize the building will renew luster to what is often referred to as the gateway to Ventura. Both Salzer’s and Safeport are local family run and operated. That means they are in it for the long-term and are growing a business that can be passed to the next generation. It also means that revenue stays in and benefits the Ventura community.

ow do you make a million dollars in the wine industry? Start with $10 million. So the old saying goes — for good reason. While many a wine connoisseur has been seduced by the allure of the vintner’s lifestyle, none have found the reality to be as smooth or rich as their favorite vintage. That didn’t deter three men — Paul Douville, Tim Germaine and Alan Wharton — from rushing in where angels fear to tread. Hence, the name of Ventura’s latest boutique wine venture, Trois le Fou. “Our name loosely translates to the three lunatics or fools, as most people know that starting a winery is for the insane,” the business states proudly on its website.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

With a fanciful flourish, Aries poet Seamus Heaney wrote, “I ate the day / Deliberately, that its tang / Might quicken me all into verb, pure verb.” I’d love for you to be a pure verb for a while, Aries. Doing so would put you in robust rapport with astrological rhythms. As a pure verb, you’ll never be static. Flowing and transformation will be your specialties. A steady stream of fresh inspiration and new meanings will come your way. You already have an abundance of raw potential for living like a verb — more than all the other signs of the zodiac. And in the coming weeks, your aptitude for that fluidic state will be even stronger than usual.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

According to Arthurian myth, the Holy Grail is a cup that confers magical powers. Among them are eternal youth, miraculous healing, the restoration of hope, the resurrection of the dead, and an unending supply of healthy and delicious food and drink. Did the Grail ever exist as a material object? Some believe so. After 34 years of research, historian David Adkins thinks he’s close to finding it. He says it’s buried beneath an old house in Burtonon-Trent, a town in central England. I propose we make this tantalizing prospect your metaphor of power during the coming weeks. Why? I suspect there’s a chance you will discover a treasure or precious source of vitality. It may be partially hidden in plain sight or barely disguised in a mundane setting.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

I’m pleased to authorize you to be extra vast and extensive in the coming weeks. Like Gemini poet Walt Whitman, you should never apologize and always be proud of the fact that you contain multitudes. Your multivalent, wide-ranging outlook will be an asset, not a liability. We should all thank you for being a grand compendium of different selves. Your versatility and elasticity will enhance the well-being of all of us whose lives you touch.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Your memory is SUBSTANTIAL. Your sensitivity is MONUMENTAL. Your urge to nurture is DEEP. Your complexity is EPIC. Your feelings are BOTTOMLESS. Your imagination is PRODIGIOUS. Because of all these aptitudes and capacities, you are TOO MUCH for some people. Not everyone can handle your intricate and sometimes puzzling BEAUTY. But there are enough folks out there who do appreciate and thrive on your gifts. In the coming weeks and months, make it your quest to focus your urge to merge on them.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

I love these lines by Leo poet Conrad Aiken: “Remember (when time comes) how chaos died to shape the shining leaf.” I hope this lyrical thought will help you understand the transformation you’re going through. The time has come for some of your chaos to expire — and in doing so, generate your personal equivalent of shining leaves. Can you imagine what the process would look and feel like? How might it unfold? Your homework is to ponder these wonders.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

A British woman named Andie Holman calls herself the Scar Queen. She says, “Tight scar tissue creates pain, impacts mobility, affects your posture, and usually looks bad.” Her specialty is to diminish the limiting effects of scars, restoring flexibility and decreasing aches. Of course, she works with actual physical wounds, not the psychological kind. I wish I could refer you to healers who would help you with the latter, Virgo. Do you know any? If not, seek one out. The good news is that you now have more personal power than usual to recover from your old traumas and diminish your scars. I urge you to make such work a priority in the coming weeks.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Ancient Roman philosopher Seneca wrote, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” But a Spanish proverb suggests a different element may be necessary: “Good luck comes by elbowing.” (Elbow-

by rob brezsny

ing refers to the gesture you use as you push your way through a crowd, nudging people away from the path you want to take.) A Danish proverb says that preparation and elbowing aren’t enough: “Luck will carry someone across the brook if they are not too lazy to leap.” Modern author Wendy Walker has the last word: “Fortune adores audacity.” I hope I’ve inspired you to be alert to the possibility that extra luck is now available to you. And I hope I’ve convinced you to be audacious, energetic, well-prepared, and willing to engage in elbowing. Take maximum advantage of this opportunity.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Many Scorpios imagine sex to be a magnificent devotion, a quintessential mode of worship, an unparalleled celebration of sacred earthiness. I endorse and admire this perspective. If our culture had more of it, the art and entertainment industries would offer far less of the demeaning, superficial versions of sexuality that are so rampant. Here’s another thing I love about Scorpios: So many of you grasp the value of sublimating lust into other fun and constructive accomplishments. You’re skilled at channeling your high-powered libido into practical actions that may have no apparent erotic element. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to do a lot of that.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

A Sagittarius reader named Jenny-Sue asked, “What are actions I could take to make my life more magical?” I’m glad she asked. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to raise your delight and enchantment levels, to bask in the blessed glories of alluring mysteries and uncanny synchronicities. Here are a few tips: 1. Learn the moon’s phases and keep track of them. 2. Acquire a new sacred treasure and keep it under your pillow or in your bed. 3. Before sleep, ask your deep mind to provide you with dreams that help generate creative answers to a specific question. 4. Go on walks at night or at dawn. 5. Compose a wild or funny prayer and shout it aloud it as you run through a field. 6. Sing a soulful song to yourself as you gaze into a mirror.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Being able to receive love doesn’t come easy for some Capricorns. You may also not be adept at making yourself fully available for gifts and blessings. But you can learn these things. You can practice. With enough mindful attention, you might eventually become skilled at the art of getting a lot of what you need and knowing what to do with it. And I believe the coming weeks will be a marvelous time to increase your mastery.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“If I don’t practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.” This quote is variously attributed to violinist Jascha Heifetz, trumpeter Louis Armstrong, and violinist Isaac Stern. It’s a fundamental principle for everyone who wants to get skilled at any task, not just for musicians. To become a master of what you love to do, you must work on it with extreme regularity. This is always true, of course. But according to my astrological analysis, it will be even more intensely true and desirable for you during the coming months. Life is inviting you to raise your expertise to a higher level. I hope you’ll respond!

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

In May 2021, Jessica and Ben Laws got married on their dairy farm. The ceremony unfolded smoothly, but an unforeseen event interrupted the reception party. A friend who had been monitoring their herd came to tell the happy couple that their pregnant cow had gone into labor and was experiencing difficulties. Jessica ran to the barn and plunged into active assistance, still clad in her lovely floor-length bridal gown and silver tiara. The dress got muddy and trashed, but the birth was successful. The new bride had no regrets. I propose making her your role model for now. Put practicality over idealism. Opt for raw and gritty necessities instead of neat formalities. Serve what’s soulful, even if it’s messy. Homework: Ask a friend or loved one to tell you a good secret. Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com

CANNABIS DRINKS & BENEFITS GET MORE SLEEP & FUN

Written by Wheelhouse Staff This week, we will be covering the benefits of drinking cannabis and are featuring one of our favorite brands, Heavy Hitters! Each beverage is crafted using proprietary cannabis-native terpenes to recreate classic craft cocktails. Heavy Hitters does not use artificial flavors or substitutions to craft their cannabis drinks.

How's the High? It's fast-acting, warm, euphoric and balanced. Ingesting Cannabis One of the great benefits of ingestion versus smoking is that it is less harmful for your lungs. When you consume cannabis, it travels to your stomach and then to your liver before getting into your bloodstream and brain. The liver then turns THC into a stronger form which adds to the intensity of the high. Effects You will feel effects within 30 minutes to 2 hours of ingesting. Full effects can peak within 4 hours and last for up to 12 hours. Sometimes, residual effects can last up to 24 hours. We recommend that if you are a beginner, you should start consuming no more than 2.5 mg THC at one-time. Where to Buy Heavy Hitter Drinks If you want to buy Heavy Hitter Drinks, we always recommend purchasing them from a licensed dispensary that offers high-quality drinks, such as Wheelhouse. We currently carry a variety of cannabis drinks and seltzers and have knowledgeable budtenders who can help provide the best tips on how to achieve the effect you are seeking. You can order Heavy Hitter drinks in-store or online by visiting wheelhouseph.com.
