NEWS TRUTH Act Forum, Oct. 12 Groups call for cooperation with ICE to end by Kimberly Rivers

kimberly@vcreporter.com

n Tuesday, Oct. 12, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors will hear an update from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO) on its interactions and cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the past year. The update is mandated by state law, and must take place each year that the sheriff, or any law enforcement agency, has a policy in place to work with ICE, but this year the update will include something new. “This year something new will be on the agenda,” said Willie Lubka, a Thousand Oaks resident and executive director of Buen Vecino, a project fiscally sponsored by the Alliance for Global Justice. The project is a member of the ICE Out of Ventura County coalition, which includes One Step a la Vez and Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) and several other local community organizations. On Oct. 12 the ICE Out coalition will be on the agenda along with the VCSO, allowing the coalition equal time to present information about the impacts of the VCSO working with ICE to identify, detain and deport residents of Ventura County. Lubka explained that state law (AB2792, TRUTH Act) “requires the sheriff departments who have a policy of cooperating with ICE to report to their county supervisors each year about the data and policies.” And while he said that is a good thing, he explained that in previous years, the public and organizations only have the short public comment time to respond, refute or provide additional information to the supervisors. According to Lubka, in the past it seemed public comment was “brushed aside.” He hopes this presentation, being on the agenda, will mean the supervisors and the sheriff give it more attention. The change this year came about because the coalition was able to view many TRUTH Act Forums around the state during the pandemic. A silver lining of the virtual meeting requirements meant that anyone, anywhere could view these forums. Lubka and others in Ventura County saw that in other counties, community organizations and other advocates for those targeted by ICE had a true voice in those meetings and were given the same amount of time to present as local law enforcement. Lubka said the coalition asked the county for the same, and they got it.

State restrictions on ICE

Today California has a body of laws that lay out when and how local law enforcement agencies can work with ICE. These laws primarily restrict that interaction, with the goal of providing transparency and ensuring time and money that should be going to local law enforcement activities are not being diverted to federal activities. Prior to these laws, local law enforcement had the discretion to provide information to ICE officers regarding people of interest, and/or those arrested in the course of law enforcement activities in the county and cities. This could result in ICE having direct access to a person being held in local jail for charges related to violating a local crime, even prior to being convicted. Recent laws disallowed those close dealings, including prohibiting ICE from having offices in sheriff departments. But they do allow the VCSO to provide ICE with information, when requested, about when a resident of Ventura County, who was arrested, otherwise detained and/or served jail time for a local crime, was being released. The same information must be provided to the person being released and their attorney or other designated contact. ICE officers could then be on site to detain that person, to begin deportation proceedings. In 2016 the Transparent Review of Unjust Transfers and Holds (TRUTH) Act became state law and requires local police and/ or sheriff’s departments who are opting to provide information to ICE to inform the person in question that ICE was requesting to interview them and obtain written consent for the local agency to make that person available to ICE while they were in custody with local law enforcement. The law also makes records of these events subject to the California Public Records Act, meaning they can be viewed by any member of the public. The TRUTH Act also requires local agencies to report to the county and the public on their interactions with ICE each year, hence TRUTH Act Forums. This aspect of the law is an attempt to provide transparency and accountability. Another aspect the act tries to address is the undermining of community policing, and the diversion of local funds for enforcing federal laws, when law enforcement becomes entangled with federal ICE activity. Lubka pointed out that if the IRS asked the Ventura County Sheriff to enforce back tax payments, “we’d say that’s not his job.” Why is ICE any different? In 2017, the state passed Senate Bill 54, which prohibited local law enforcement from informing federal ICE authorities when a person arrested on drug-related charges was suspected of not being a U.S. citizen, something that was allowed prior to the law’s passage. SB54 also prohibits all state and local law enforcement agencies — including school police and security agencies (all grades, including state colleges and universities) — from “using money or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes.” The state’s TRUST Act already prohibited local law enforcement from holding a person on the basis of immigration violations upon being released from custody. There are some instances when a person 6— — October 7, 2021

1007_VCReporter_NEWS.indd 6

can be detained by local police on immigration violations, for example, when the person has already been convicted of specific crimes. Lubka explained that together these laws are so important because they seek to dismantle “two systems of justice, based on skin color and where you were born. Normally someone serves their time and goes home, not serves their time and gets deported.”

Discrepancies in data

“Here, locally, we want our supervisors to direct the sheriff to terminate their cooperation with ICE,” said Lubka about the aim of ICE Out. “In a perfect world, on Oct. 12, the supervisors would take action, but it’s more likely for them to take it under advisement. They can make a resolution . . . and use their budgeting power [to prevent money from being used] to pay staff time for cooperating with ICE.” Lubka also pointed out that there are questions about the numbers. Recently the VCSO updated the information posted online related to its ICE interactions. That information “states that in 2020, there were zero ICE pickups in the county, and in 2021, through the end of June, there has been one.” But Lubka said that the California Attorney General website reports that in 2020, ICE made 13 pickups in Ventura County. The VCSO website includes the statement, “Those who commit qualifying serious crimes and are eligible for ICE referrals should have their immigration status reviewed. This process has been in place for years and is compliant with the Values Act (SB 54) and the TRUTH Act.” Data listed includes 587 “detainers received” from ICE related to people in custody in the county during 2020. Of those, the VCSO provided 123 “release notifications” to ICE, with the VCSO listing zero ICE pickups being reported. For 2021 through June, 131 detainers have been received, with 35 release notifications issued to ICE, and one confirmed ICE pickup after issuing a detainer to VCSO. “That could be due to different definitions, but I can say there is a variance from the Attorney General report.” Lubka hopes the sheriff addresses that discrepancy on Oct. 12.

Community impacts

“This is a trauma,” Lubka said, describing how families feel when going about their daily lives knowing that someone in their family may be subject to being detained by ICE at any time. He noted that these are people getting their kids to school, going to work and getting food on the table. Many have lived in the community for decades. While Lubka understands what is being reported by the VCSO, he suspects, based on what he and others have seen, that something else outside the official reporting may be taking place. “There are instances where after a release from jail, ICE picks them up within a couple of days. Whether there is cooperation on those instances is foggy, but we believe collusion is going on.” One example shared by Lubka involved a local man who had served time in the Ventura County Jail. The man and his family

were notified that the release date and time had been given to ICE. “The coalition was there to witness what occurred. But there was no sign of ICE,” Lubka said. He gave the man a ride home, and then, “He had a visit from his parole officer three or four days later and within a few hours of the visit, ICE picked up the man at his home for deportation.” ICE Out submitted a Public Records Act (PRA) request for records and/or communications between the parole department and ICE. “We were told ‘we don’t know of any records,’ and in order to find out [if they exist] it will cost over $1,000.” When the coalition submitted a PRA request “about the exact accounting of taxpayer dollars going to staff time and other expenses for the sheriff to work with ICE, we were told that doesn’t exist, ‘we don’t track it.’ The supervisors are responsible for the budget. It seems like a failure of fiscal stewardship to not track that.” Lubka expects the current policy of collaborating with ICE to be defended. Responses he and other community advocates have heard include that the current policy impacts a very small number of people, so the overall effect is very little. “The trauma is a bigger deal when it’s you, right?” said Lubka. He also said the VCSO frequently points only to those who are convicted of the most violent crimes, when most are detained for lower crimes — things that other county residents commit, and serve time for, and then return to their families. Lubka emphasized that these policies “undermine all of our safety and the work of law enforcement,” by making community members wary of reporting crimes, or talking to local law enforcement if they or a family member may not be a citizen. He understands these policies have been in place locally for a long time and the coalition is not seeking to “vilify the sheriff,” but expressed hope that the supervisors will seek a change in policy. ICE Out sent a letter to the VCSO on Sept. 8 seeking a meeting to discuss policy changes going forward, and the sheriff has agreed to meet, said Lubka. They will meet after the Oct. 12 forum. The Ventura County TRUTH Act Forum is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 4:30 p.m. The meeting will be held virtually and streamed live. Spanish and Mixteco interpretation services will be provided. Public comment will take place; those wishing to comment must register online at www.ventura.org/boscomment. Written comments are also accepted. Normally written comments can be submitted until 4 p.m. on the day prior to the meeting, but the county is asking the public to submit written comments by Oct 8 to: clerkoftheboard@ventura.org or mailed to: Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA, 93009-1920.

BHAB seeks clarification by Kimberly Rivers

vcreporter.com

Behavioral health board members question process involving recommendations to supervisors

kimberly@vcreporter.com

t the Sept. 20 meeting of the Ventura County Behavioral Health Advisory Board (BHAB), members asked for clarification about what happens once recommendations are made to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. During the meeting, Jerry Harris, chair emeritus, asked for clarity on the proper process for how recommendations made by the BHAB are brought before the elected supervisors for discussion and consideration. He pointed out that a majority of the reports and letters produced by the BHAB are “receive and file” agenda items before the supervisors and see little discussion. Cheryl Heitmann supported Harris’s request, saying the BHAB has many new members and that it would be helpful for everyone to understand the process and their responsibilities. She also inquired about the process for getting ideas of BHAB members on their meeting agendas.

“We never hear about it again, it’s gone”

Dr. Sevet Johnson, director of Ventura County Behavioral Health, responded by pointing out that on June 22, 2021, two items from the BHAB were before the supervisors and Harris had up to 30 minutes to provide any information he liked to the supervisors. She also pointed out that the California Welfare and Institutions Code, which includes the mandates for BHAB, does not direct the supervisors on how to respond to any recommendations produced by the BHAB. She seemed to push back against Harris’ request, stating that the procedures are “defined and outlined in the county administrative manual” and she had “emailed” that previously to BHAB members, but could do it again. “I was not advised in advance that I’d be speaking on the LPS report,”

Harris responded about the June 22 meeting, saying he did the best he could without notice. The Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) report was submitted by the BHAB regarding areas where improvement is needed in mental health services in the county related to the mentally ill being taken into custody either by police or mental health professionals. “I don’t believe that there is not an obligation of the Board of Supervisors to review and discuss and decide on the work and recommendations [of the BHAB]. Otherwise we are all spinning our wheels and don’t need to be here . . . I stand by my two requests.” He emphasized that both items on the June 22 agenda for the supervisors were still “receive and file” and said he feels as though the BHAB is doing “very poorly” in seeing their recommendations get acted upon. “Most of our recommendations, when they get to the board for

receive and file, it’s a bottomless pit, we never hear about it again, it’s gone,” said Harris. He asked that county staff give the BHAB a presentation “as soon as possible, hopefully at next month’s meeting.” He particularly wanted to know how “decisions are made about what is able to forward to the board,” and how the BHAB items are either placed on the consent agenda, which are not discussed, or as an agenda item to be discussed and “acted upon by the board.” Harris had concerns that the BHAB may be out of compliance with its state charter since in his opinion the supervisors rarely act on its recommendations, or even discuss them in open, public meetings.

Needs assessment needed BHAB members have been calling for a mental health needs assessment for several years in order

for the department to identify gaps and then set goals for filling those service and treatment gaps in the county. Several BHAB members, as well as members of the public, have been pointing to the lack of available long-term beds for the severely mentally ill in the county. State reports say the county should have a minimum of about 400 beds. Today, most county residents who require long term care for mental illness are sent to out-of-county facilities with which the department contracts. Michael Rodriguez, BHAB chair, facilitated the formation of two workgroups aimed at finalizing a recommendation letter and a report on funding options for the needs assessment. Rodriguez said the more options the BHAB presents to the board that make the assessment “feasible, the greater our prospects of getting them to approve” and con-

duct the assessment. New BHAB member Chris Tejada inquired about the process of reviewing contracts, one of the mandated tasks of the advisory board. He pointed to a recent contract involving mental health care at the jail, and that reviewing the contract after it’s approval seemed less effective than reviewing and commenting on contracts in “real time.” Johnson pointed out that this particular contract was handled by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department and would not be under the purview of the Behavioral Health Department or the BHAB. All BHAB members are volunteers and are appointed by the supervisors. BHAB meets on the third Monday of each month, 1- 3:30 p.m. More information is online at vcbh. org/en/behavioral-health-advisory-board-meetings.

Eye on the Environment

Appreciation of manufacturing increases on Manufacturing Day

by David Goldstein ou don’t miss the water until the well runs dry. That folksy truism applies well to pandemic-related interruptions of global supply chains for manufacturing. Not enough computer chip manufacturing to meet demand? The result is high prices and waiting lists for products ranging from appliances to cars. Not enough residential-sized toilet paper roll manufacturing to meet demand? The result is panic buying and shortages. Last Friday, Oct. 1, was Manufacturing Day, an annual commemoration coordinated by the National Manufacturing Association on the first Friday of October. Manufacturing turns raw material into valuable products. In Ventura County, this creation of wealth supports average manufacturing sector wages of $118,627 per year, compared to an average of just $38,868 per year in the retail sector, according to the website of the Camarillo-based Economic Development Collaborative (EDC). “Manufacturing provides over 10.5% of private sector jobs in Ventura County, significantly more than the statewide share of 9%,” said Bruce Stenslie, EDC president and CEO. Recycling is a special kind of manufacturing, providing an additional economic benefit. While most manufacturers acquire materials by mining minerals, felling timber, drilling for petroleum, synthesizing chemicals, or carrying out some other industrial process, recycling-based manufacturing mines the urban waste stream. When you wheel your recycling cart to the curb, you are supplying raw material to industry, and the difference between the value of garbage (around -$50 dollars per ton) and the value of products made from those materials (potentially thousands of dollars per ton) begins to enter the economy. The EDC offers a variety of assistance to local manufactur-

ers, and the Ventura County Recycling Market Development Zone (VCRMDZ) offers additional assistance specific to recycling-based manufacturers. The EDC’s no-cost consulting includes assistance with locating sources of capital; accessing local and state incentives; assistance with permitting and site selection; and presentation of guides, eBooks, webinars and toolkits. The EDC’s partnership with California’s Manufacturers Accelerator Program includes one-on-one advising, action plan development, succession planning, marketing advice for sales growth, and access to productivity tools and resources. The VCRMDZ offers similar services, but geared toward manufacturing with recycled, reused, or source reduced materials. “Source reduced” means a product is made with less raw material, lasts longer, or has some other waste-reducing property. As an example of source reduction, the RMDZ program made a low-interest, $290,000 direct loan to Trupart, in Ventura, which bought a laser cutter to nest parts manufactured from blank sheets of material. The RMDZ’s affiliation with the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) assists with sourcing discarded material for manufacturing, provides free listings on recyclestore.com, and provides a mentor to guide businesses through accessing state and local resources. Job training is a major challenge faced by manufacturers, and for Manufacturing Day, the National Manufacturers Association and the Manufacturing Institute used a joint website, mfgday.com, to call attention to the “need to fill 4.6 million modern manufacturing jobs in America by 2028.” “Older workers are retiring, taking with them the skills and know-how they’ve accrued over the decades,” said Sam Zheng, CEO of DeepHow, a company focusing on knowledge transfer

for manual trades. “An effective skills training strategy is crucial to attract younger workers into manufacturing careers.” One local union, the Laborers’ International Union of North America, LiUna, Local 585, recently addressed this challenge by training 10 of their members to install a practical and environmentally beneficial product made in Oxnard. The product, ePAVE, is a surfacing material for repairing cracked asphalt and extending pavement life. These source reduction benefits combine with an additional environmental characteristic. ePAVE is light in color, reducing the heat absorption of asphalt enough to lower air conditioning costs of adjacent buildings. LiUNA workers surfaced their Ventura office’s parking lot with ePAVE. The surfacing material costs approximately $1,500 for material to cover a 2,500 square foot parking lot. Manufacturers are engines of prosperity, some manufacturers make environmentally beneficial products, and training new workers for available jobs is essential.

What to do about water

Efforts continue to create a sustainable Ventura River Watershed by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

an we live within our watershed? Human beings used to easily live within their watersheds, only habitating where there was enough water to sustain themselves. Today, we have the technology and money to put water where it is needed. But climate change is forcing a hard truth to seep to the surface: Water is a limited resource and we may not have enough for all. Think about your daily use of water. The glass of water on your table, or the water bottle in your backpack. Toilet flushing. Showers. Car wash. Laundry. Lawns and landscaping. Could you use less water each day without much hardship? How much less? What if you knew that in 10 years there would be no water when you turn on the tap? What would you change today? Expand the lens. Imagine all of the water users, the big water users. That includes farmers and water companies that deliver water to your tap. Could they draw less water from their wells that suck up groundwater from basins or surface water from reservoirs? Will the communities with enough money to buy pipes to connect to state water or drill private wells be the only ones with consistent access to water? And humans aren’t the only water users in a watershed. There are plants and wildlife. Is there enough water for all of us? If not, how will we survive? Right now, some staff of municipal water purveyors may want to contact the VCReporter and tell us this story will cause undue panic among the public, that we are not in that kind of crisis right now. Others will say that water purveyors are planning for that possibility. City and water companies are constantly looking at basin levels and demand, and feeling the pressure to diversify water supplies. They are getting funding to connect to water sources out of the area. But with more and more straws dipping into all supplies, including the State Water Project, it is a fact that there will be less water for everyone. Water use is going to have to change. But who will be the first to change and will there be equity across all users? When should we change our water use behavior? Now, or when there is no water at the tap?

SGMA and AB1390

As Ventura County struggles to answer these basic questions amidst dwindling rainfall totals, climate change and a multitude of demands on water sources, some groups, including cities, are taking the question to the courts where property owners, municipalities, water agencies and river protectors are becoming embroiled in a process that tends to pit stakeholders against each other rather than build collaboration. “Any solution ideally would lead to some sort of collaborative understanding that we are all in this together,” said Paul Jenkin, Ventura campaign coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation and founder of the Matilija Coalition. He has worked for years on Ventura River Watershed issues, and been an organizer around the removal of the Matilija Dam. “It makes more sense to pursue a collaborative [process] where we can look at solutions in sharing a limited resource

rather than using the adjudication, what some would call the ‘nuclear option,’ and see who can hire the most expensive lawyers.” He is referring to the legal process California formulated in 2015 with new laws that created a legal framework to hash out water rights and water allocations following the 2014 passage of the state’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). In an effort to avoid state takeovers of groundwater basins, SGMA identified basins most subject to or at risk of over-pumping, and required local agencies to build a plan for sustainably managing water use in those basins. The problem with SGMA was that it didn’t give agencies the authority to manage water rights. Assembly Bill 1390, passed in 2015, was an attempt at a remedy, creating a process for legal action for stakeholders who considered SGMA plan allocations unfair, or had any other complaints about SGMA. AB1390 allowed for stakeholders to file for a groundwater basin adjudication to be overseen by the courts. AB1390 defines a watershed adjudication as “as an action filed in superior court to comprehensively determine rights to extract groundwater in a basin.” The bill authorizes a judge to determine water rights based on various legal criteria. (A water right is not the same as water use allocation.) It might seem that this would create an effective, objective process. The legal remedy, however, also sets a course for a process bogged down in court for decades. Meanwhile, status quo water use continues, pumpers keep pumping, temperatures increase, lake levels drop and rivers run dry. Under these circumstances, the idea of no tap water in 10 years doesn’t seem so far-fetched. Jenkin sounded resigned when he said the current adjudication of the Ventura River Watershed was “inevitable, because of the SGMA process . . . The problem with SGMA is that it doesn’t address water rights. For example, if the SGMA process [for the Ventura River Watershed] led to limits on pumping, that would be fine as long as everyone went along with it. If they all understood it’s in everyone’s interest to limit pumping so we are sustainable into the future. But

all it takes [with SGMA] is one party in that groundwater basin to object and to file suit, and that triggers an adjudication.” One example that demonstrates the limitations of SGMA can be seen in the two adjudications filed against the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (GMA). One of those cases was just filed June 15, 2021, for the Santa Clara River Valley and Pleasant Valley Groundwater basins. Fox Canyon was one of the first in Ventura County to get organized to comply with SGMA, doing a lot of the hard work to bring stakeholders together. Strong leadership fostered buy-in from many and a plan was put in place, along with ordinances for pumping fees and allocations. But today, plaintiffs include dozens of property owners in the area, and Fox Canyon GMA is asking the court to allow this new case to be joined with one filed in 2018 for the Oxnard and Las Posas Groundwater basins. Numerous law firms have been involved. Adjudication action has also recently been filed for the Cuyama Groundwater basin in northern Ventura County.

Pumping is off at Foster Park

“This is an important milestone to highlight for the community. On Aug. 5, the city of Ventura fully shut down the well field at Foster Park to maintain a flowing river,” said Ben Pitterle, science and policy director for Santa Barbara Channelkeeper (SBCK). The organization filed legal action against the California State Water Resources Control Board and the city of Ventura in 2018 because the city’s pumping at Foster Park impacted flows in the Ventura River, which resulted in a negative impact on habitat of the endangered steelhead trout. The action called out the state water board for failing to properly enforce state law. In 2019 SBCK and the city negotiated a settlement, which was revised in 2020. “Per our agreements,” according to Pitterle, the city shut down the water well pumping at Foster Park due to river flows dropping to the low thresholds of that agreement. “Almost the next day the flow rebounded,” said Pitterle. “There was water in the river. Not a lot of water — we are using the term

FEATURE ‘life support’ and I think that is accurate. It is keeping the river alive.” He said if the city hadn’t shut off those pumps, “we definitely do think it would be going dry about now, had it not been for those steps. This is not a final resolution of all of this; our goal is to make sure enough water is left in the river, to keep it flowing and alive.” He was excited to highlight this “tangible benefit to the river and the community” with increased water flows. He witnessed families enjoying the water just days after the pumping was turned off. “This was our goal the whole time.” The city’s Foster Park well field includes two water wells slightly upstream from the visible cement wall that crosses the Ventura River. Just upriver from the wall is a subsurface dam about 20-30 feet deep. That “dam” is a perforated pipe that connects to a holding tank. Pumps draw water from the river in through the subsurface pipe to a holding tank. The two wells can be shut off simply by stopping the pumps. “Foster Park supplies about 20% of water supply in a normal year, in drought years a little less,” said Susan Rungren, general manager for Ventura Water. She said the facility at that location taps into the city’s “oldest water supply.” The city grew westward from that area, North Ventura Avenue. She added that even before the city was founded, the river and a diversion at that area provided water to Mission San Buenaventura. Even earlier, before the land was claimed by either Spain or Mexico, the local Chumash relied on the flows of the Ventura River to provide freshwater, and to support fish and other wildlife that provided a food source for the Indigenous people. “We all know it’s a great watershed and we want to keep it that way and we all need to utilize it,” Rungren said. She emphasized that all users in the “watershed as a whole” need to “work together on helping the environment, the fish, the people, agriculture, everybody” to achieve a sustainable solution for water use. She explained that the thresholds for minimal river flow agreed upon by the city and SBCK led to a reduction in pumping in June of this year, and she confirmed that the city’s monitoring found the flow dropped in early August, requiring the city to turn off the pumps completely. As for when the pumps will come back on, Jennifer Tribo, a management analyst with Ventura Water, said, “Realistically, it’s not going to be until after a measurable rainfall event.” When such an event causes flows in the river to increase up to the threshold amount, the pumps can be turned back on. Tribo also emphasized that “the city has been diversifying its water supply.” The city pumps water from three different groundwater basins and from Lake Casitas. In recent years, with the lengthening drought becoming the norm, the city has been “relying more on Lake Casitas. In years when the river is flowing well, the city utilizes more groundwater.” According to both Rungren and Tribo, city water users have

vcreporter.com been keeping consumption down to levels that mean they don’t have to declare a water shortage for the city, even in the face of the ongoing drought. Miles Hogan, assistant city attorney for Ventura, added that the city’s “water shortage plan was updated earlier this year with a new baseline” that relies on “customers to continue their conservation efforts.” Based on current models, water supply and management plans, the city feels it does not need to ask customers to conserve more than what they are currently using. This means the status quo today is viewed as sustainable by the city.

We are all in this together

One question many are asking: Shouldn’t other users be asked to conserve, so that everyone in the watershed — individuals, water purveyors, agricultural and industrial users — are all working together to live within the watershed? Ventura River modeling, State Water Resources Control Board According to the city of Ventura, this is why an adjudication process is needed. And some, like Jenkin, who maybe don’t see the submitted to the court as a joint proposal with the city of Ventura, adjudication process as ideal, recognize it might be the only way to Meiners Oaks Water District, Ventura River Water District, Wood Claeyssens Ranch and Matilija Canyon Water Company. compel parties to come together.

Jenkin and others have criticized the current draft of the parties claim that they shouldn’t be subject to any aspect of the adjudication, or anything that comes as a result of this process, physical solution as not creating any tangible reduction in water because pumping water from the groundwater basin underneath pumping from the watershed, questioning how it can ultimately yield a sustainable plan without calling out specific allocations or their property does not impact flows in the Ventura River. Surface flows downstream are dependent on what happens reductions in use. In effect, it is the city’s position that the management plan upstream.

Women’s Voices Festival at NAMBA, Oct. 8-15 by Emily Dodi

an you hear that? It’s the sound of the Women’s Voices Festival coming to NAMBA Performing Arts Space in Downtown Ventura Oct. 8-15. The event features a culturally diverse lineup of award-winning one-woman shows. The eight different performances represent an eclectic mix of experiences and points of view, shared by women who boldly tell their stories with unabashed honesty, transparency and astonishing creativity. The festival opens on Friday night with Mommy Monster, written and performed by April Wish and directed by Brandon Sean Pearson. “Achingly, lovingly and daringly personal, Wish lays bare the realities of mom rage and examines a mother’s love that is so big, so wild, it burns like the sun.” It’s followed up on Saturday with Wild At Hart, Kamakshi Hart’s tale of sexual assault, survival and healing; and The Book That Won’t Close: Confessions of a Love Addict, a dark comedy

Counting their Blessings Talking confidence, recording and the pressure to produce with Rome Ramirez of Sublime With Rome by Alan Sculley, Last Word Features

or the third time in three albums, Sublime With Rome went to Sonic Ranch near El Paso, Texas, a studio Rome Ramirez (vocals, guitar), Eric Wilson (bass) and Carlos Verdugo (drums) like because it’s isolated enough to allow bands to really concentrate on the business at hand instead of getting distracted during recording by nightlife and other recreational opportunities. “I think Eric really likes that kind of rhythm out there, like no distractions. I’ve grown to love it as well,” Ramirez said in a phone interview. But being at Sonic Ranch was about the only thing the making of the group’s latest album, Blessings, had in common with the previous pair of albums. The group’s first two albums were done in a rush. Yours Truly, released in 2011, had to be finished in about six weeks. The 2015 sophomore album, Sirens, had a similar urgency, although the circumstances that put the band under the gun were different. Having been busy with touring and unable to find time for writing before the trio was due to start recording, they arrived at Sonic Ranch with virtually no material written. An initial recording session yielded practically nothing, and it was only during a tour in Brazil shortly afterward that something clicked and songs started to come together. Still, the band had to rent out two rooms, recording some parts simultaneously, in order to finish Sirens on time. The experience making Blessings (released in May 2019) was a 180-degree change. “It was so different. It wasn’t like, ‘You need to make an album’; then ‘You guys need to make an album right now,’” Ramirez said. “It wasn’t even like, ‘Do you guys want to make an album?’ It was like, ‘We want to make an album (now).’ And all of the songs were written beforehand.” What’s more, the group was hearing positive things from management, the record label and radio promotional people about the songs that were in play for album number three. “I’ll tell you this, when you have songs that are already getting your professional circle around you excited, you know already that in some sort of way, your part as the quote-unquote business owner, if you want to look at it like that, you’ve fulfilled your part of the obligation. That creates such a less stressful environment. Everybody was really excited: radio programmers, management, the record label. “Having that sort of, I don’t want to say confidence, because it comes with a certain connotation, but having that sort of confidence, for lack of a better word, really does help ease the creative process where you can now start to create freely without any pressures of trying to make it big (commercially) or trying to make everyone happy,” the singer/guitarist said. In all, Sublime With Rome spent a year and a half making Blessings, which brought out a different kind of feeling for the band as well. As Ramirez noted, cranking out an album in a matter of weeks can be fun, despite the deadline pressure, and stretching out the process has its drawbacks. “This one took so damn long, oh my God, you just

Sublime With Rome (from left: Carlos Verdugo, drums; Rome Ramirez, vocals and guitar; and Eric Wilson, bass) will perform at the Ventura County Fairgrounds on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 2 p.m. Photo by Andreas Ramierez want to be done with it,” Ramirez said. “Then you’re kind of like, you have to not listen to the music because you don’t want to get burned out on it before it comes out. “But luckily, you’re able to put out a thought-out piece of material,” he added. Making an album the group can stand behind is a valuable thing for a group like Sublime With Rome, which has a considerable legacy to live up to that goes back three decades. That’s when original Sublime, with singer/guitarist Bradley Nowell, Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh, formed. That group’s run was cut short in May 1996 when Nowell died from a heroin overdose — just as a self-titled third album was ready for release. Nowell’s death brought a wave of attention to Sublime, and the lead single from that album, “What I Got,” became a chart-topping alternative rock hit. Before it finished its run, Sublime had gone five times platinum and helped cement the band’s place as one of the pioneers of what is now a thriving reggae-rock genre. For a decade-plus, Nowell’s death looked to have ended the Sublime story. But in 2009, Ramirez crossed paths with Wilson while they were both working in the same studio. Ramirez, who is nearly 20 years younger than Wilson, was a major fan of Sublime growing up. The two began jamming together and over time became friends. One day, Wilson asked Rome if he’d want to sing in a new edition of Sublime should Gaugh sign on for the project. Ramirez jumped at the chance, and with Gaugh on board, Sublime (soon renamed Sublime With Rome after Nowell’s family objected to the band using only the Sublime name) was in the studio working on Yours Truly. The debut album was a significant success, spawning a top five alternative rock hit with the song “Panic” and giving Sublime With Rome a strong measure of legitimacy. Gaugh dropped out of the band in 2011, with Josh Freese — who is also one of rock’s most sought-after session drummers — taking his slot for the Sirens project. (Verdugo, formerly of Tribal Seeds, replaced Freese in 2017.) Sirens didn’t generate a hit song on the level of “Panic,” but the album debuted at No. 2 on Billboard

magazine’s Alternative Albums chart, and Sublime With Rome saw its audience continue to expand, to the point where the group could consistently headline amphitheaters. Blessings, released four years later, was preceded by a trio of reggae-centric singles, “Wicked Heart,” (which cracked the top 35 on Billboard magazine’s Alternative Songs chart), “Spiderweb” and “Light On.” The album found Sublime With Rome making one other major change, bringing on Rob Cavallo (known for his work with Green Day and the Goo Goo Dolls, among others) to produce after working with Paul Leary on the previous albums. Ramirez said Cavallo and his engineer, Doug McKean, lived up to their reputation for creating exceptional-sounding recordings. “With what Rob has in his head and the way he can communicate with Doug, they are a deadly dynamic duo,” Ramirez said, noting that Blessings represents a significant step up sonically over the first two Sublime With Rome albums. Ramirez also said Blessings might be a bit more reggae oriented than the first two albums, but there’s also plenty of musical variety. With touring resuming as the country opens back up, one of the major challenges is crafting a set list that retains the back catalog of songs fans want to hear while figuring out which new songs are connecting best with audiences. One thing the group won’t do, however, is stop playing the key songs by the original Sublime lineup. “You know, we’re entertainers. We’re not out there to prove an agenda or shove anything down peoples’ throats. People come out to have a really good-ass time and hear some of their favorite music,” Ramirez said. “You put on a really great show and play songs that everybody loves . . . That’s kind of always been the M.O. from the start.” Sublime With Rome performs with Dirty Heads on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 2 p.m. for Surfer’s Point Live at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, 10 W. Harbor Blvd., Ventura. For tickets and more information, visit www.surferspointlive.com. October 7, 2021 — — 21

raft brews, good tunes and a ocean breezes — yes, it’s the annual Surf ’n’ Suds Beer Festival, back in Ventura (at San Buenaventura State Beach) and in person once again. While die-hard fans were able to get their craft beer fix with the all-virtual Surf ’n’ Suds (+Buds) back in May, enjoying the merriment, camaraderie, music and more physically and in real time will be a welcome relief for many. “Because our events are not considered mega events and we host Surf ’n’ Suds on a large field, we are able to host a safe event that allows guests to socially distance and still enjoy all that Surf ’n’ Suds has to offer,” says event manager Andres Nuño of En Fuego Events. “We just ask that people be respectful of other guests’ space. We also have a larger amount of hand washing stations throughout the event.” In other respects, the festival will be much like those of years past. More than 65 craft brewers from across California will be serving up samples of beer, seltzers, ciders and even kombucha. Food trucks will offer solid refreshment, while lawn games (and an extra-large beer pong!)

ADVICE GODDESS

by amy alkon

him. But can this be healthy for us long-term? — Conflicted

Sorry, Wrong Num-Num

I love my boyfriend. We’ve been together two years. Recently, however, we’ve been experiencing conflict over the issue of children. He wants kids; I don’t. I’ve always felt strongly about this, and he said he was fine with this when we started dating. But he’s been bringing up the subject of kids a lot lately (I suspect because he’s thinking about popping the question). The discussions have grown fraught — to the point where he was in tears at the end of an argument. I eventually said I could be open to kids because I love him and don’t want to lose

Though many things in life come with the opportunity to push the “back” button, once you have a kid, you have a kid. You can’t just drop ‘em off at the fire station if they turn out to be precociously criminal — already hot-wiring cars at age 7. Deciding whether to have kids is a very recent state of affairs, coinciding with the development and availability of reliable birth control (starting in the late 1950s with the Lippes Loop IUD). For most of human history, unless a woman spent her fertile years all alone on one of those New Yorker cartoon desert islands, there was a good chance she’d have not just a child but the beginnings of a litter. There’s a widespread (and mistaken!) assumption that a woman who gives birth will immediately and unconditionally bond with her baby, explains anthropologist and primatologist Sarah Hrdy. Probably because of this, many people seem to believe the only thing stopping any woman from wanting a child is having yet to bring one into existence. In fact, neither humans nor other

mammals “automatically nurture each baby born,” Hrdy observes. Clinical psychologist Idun Roseth and her colleagues, reviewing research on mother-infant bonding issues, report: “Most mothers find that feelings of affection come within a week from birth. However, some mothers are still struggling with this after many months. ... A small percentage may even have hostile feelings towards their infant.” In other words, the public has an overly rosy, sentimental — and scientifically incorrect — view of what’s often referred to as the “maternal instinct.” There is no such thing — and the term “instinct” is the problem. The actual scientific definition of an instinct is an innate behavior (“factory-installed” — present at birth rather than learned afterward) that members of a species perform automatically. An example is a baby’s crying — alerting everybody in earshot, “YO! I HAVE UNMET NEEDS!” (Nobody has to send their baby to crying school. It automatically wails its little head off when it’s wet, scared, cold, or wants a sip o’ nippy.) In contrast with automatic instinctual behavior, there’s behavior that’s learned as well as behavior that is

only sometimes triggered in some members of a species. Accordingly, the misnamed “maternal instinct” would be better termed a maternal impulse or motivation. The impulse to nurture one’s infant is just one motivation that may arise in a woman. Hrdy has long emphasized that ambivalence and even rejection of an infant are other impulses a new mother may feel. (Unfortunately, the myth of instantly falling in love with one’s infant is so pervasive and strong that women who don’t experience this tend to feel there’s something wrong with them.) In reality, “maternal commitment” tends to emerge “piecemeal,” Hrdy explains, and is “chronically sensitive to external cues.” By “external cues,” she means a woman’s current context — such as whether she’s unable to adequately feed and protect her infant. War, famine, postpartum depression, or even a new partner who doesn’t want another man’s child are contexts that may even trigger infanticide: a horrifying maternal impulse but a maternal impulse just the same. Thankfully, this impulse is relatively rare in our society, and many women (and men!) report “falling in love” with a child they never planned to have.

Maybe...possibly...you’d become one of those “in-love” women and be wildly happy you’d had children. However, in your email, you repeatedly made it clear that you don’t want kids. You are only considering it because you love this man and don’t want to lose him — which is quite different from wanting children. You might ask friends who are parents to an infant and other young kids to let you spend a long weekend with them. Admittedly, this isn’t the same as parenting your own kids, but it might give you a sense of whether you’re actually up for the job — or whether you’re like me. Personally, though I have great respect for devoted, loving parents, if I were in charge of a thing that screams like it’s being eaten alive by a zombie, it would take about 20 minutes before there was grain alcohol in my coffee — and in someone’s sippy cup.

Aries poet Anna Kamieńska said her soul didn’t emanate light. It was filled with “bright darkness.” I suspect that description may apply to you in the coming weeks. Bright darkness will be one of your primary qualities. And that’s a good thing! You may not be a beacon of shiny cheer, but you will illuminate the shadows and secrets.

(April 20-May 20):

“There is something truly restorative, finally comforting, in coming to the end of an illusion — a false hope.” So declared author Sue Miller, and now I’m sharing it with you, Taurus — just in time for the end of at least one of your illusions. (Could be two, even three.) I hope your misconceptions or misaligned fantasies will serve you well as they decay and dissolve. I trust they will be excellent fertilizer, helping you grow inspired visions that guide your future success. My prediction: You will soon know more about what isn’t real, which will boost your ability to evaluate what is real.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini writes, “People mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really what guides them is what they’re afraid of — what they don’t want.” Is that true for you, Gemini? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to meditate on that question. And if you find you’re motivated to live your life more out of fear than out of love, I urge you to take strenuous action to

by rob brezsny

change that situation! Make sure love is at least 51 percent and fear no more than 49 percent. I believe you can do much better than that, though. Aim for 75 percent love!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

“Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.” Oglala Lakota medicine man Black Elk said that, and now I’m passing it on to you. It’s not always the case that dreams are wiser than waking, of course, but I suspect they will be for you in the coming weeks. The adventures you experience while you’re sleeping could provide crucial clues to inform your waking-life decisions. They should help you tune into resources and influences that will guide you during the coming months. And now I will make a bold prediction: that your dreams will change your brain chemistry in ways that enable you to see truths that until now have been invisible or unavailable. (PS: I encourage you to also be alert for intriguing insights and fantasies that well up when you’re tired or lounging around.)

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“Don’t hope more than you’re willing to work,” advises author Rita Mae Brown. So let me ask you, Leo: How hard are you willing to work to make your dreams come true, create your ideal life, and become the person you’d love to be? When you answer that question honestly, you’ll know exactly how much hope you have earned the right to foster. I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to upgrade your commitment to the work and therefore deepen your right to hope.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

“To be truly visionary, we have to root our

imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.” This shrewd advice comes from author bell hooks (who doesn’t capitalize her name). I think it should be at the heart of your process in the coming days. Why? Because you now have an extraordinary potential to dream up creative innovations that acknowledge your limitations but also transcend those limitations. You have extra power available to harness your fantasies and instigate practical changes.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“Some people are crazy drunk on rotgut sobriety,” wrote aphorist Daniel Liebert. I trust you’re not one of them. But if you are, I beg you to change your habits during the next three weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have a heavenly mandate to seek more than the usual amounts of whimsical ebullience, sweet diversions, uplifting obsessions, and holy amusements. Your health and success in the coming months require you to enjoy a period of concentrated joy and fun now. Be imaginative and innovative in your quest for zest.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Scottish Poet Laureate Jackie Kay, born under the sign of Scorpio, writes, “It used to be that privacy came naturally to everybody and that we understood implicitly what kind of things a person might like to keep private. Now somebody has torn up the rule book on privacy and there’s a kind of free fall and free for all and few people naturally know how to guard this precious thing, privacy.” The coming weeks will be a good time for you to investigate this subject, Scorpio — to take it more seriously than you have before. In the process, I hope you will identify what’s truly important for you to keep con-

fidential and protected, and then initiate the necessary adjustments. (PS: Please feel no guilt or embarrassment about your desire to have secrets!)

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“All our Western thought is founded on this repulsive pretense that pain is the proper price of any good thing,” wrote feisty author Rebecca West (1892–1983). I am very happy to report that your current torrent of good things will NOT require you to pay the price of pain. On the contrary, I expect that your phase of grace and luck will teach you how to cultivate even more grace and luck; it will inspire you to be generous in ways that bring generosity coming back your way. As articulated by ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, here’s the operative principle: “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

“If you don’t ask, the answer is always no,” declares author Nora Roberts. In that spirit and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to be bold and lucid about asking for what you want in the coming weeks. In addition, I encourage you to ask many probing questions so as to ferret out the best ways to get what you want. If you are skilled in carrying out this strategy, you will be a winsome blend of receptivity and aggressiveness, innocent humility and understated confidence. And that will be crucial in your campaign to get exactly what you want.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“Few persons enjoy real liberty,” wrote poet Alfred de Musset. “We are all slaves to ideas or habits.” That’s the bad news. The good news is that October is Supercharge Your Freedom Month for you Aquarians. I

invite you to use all your ingenuity to deepen, augment, and refine your drive for liberation. What could you do to escape the numbness of the routine? How might you diminish the hold of limiting beliefs and inhibiting patterns? What shrunken expectations are impinging on your motivational verve? Life is blessing you with the opportunity to celebrate and cultivate what novelist Tim Tharp calls “the spectacular now.” Be a cheerful, magnanimous freedom fighter.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

The brilliant Piscean composer Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) wrote, “I wish I could throw off the thoughts that poison my happiness, but I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.” What?! That’s crazy! If he had been brave enough and willful enough to stop taking pleasure in indulging his toxic thoughts, they might have lost their power to demoralize him. With this in mind, I’m asking you to investigate whether you, like Chopin, ever get a bit of secret excitement from undermining your own joy and success. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dissolve that bad habit. Homework: Hold your own hand and tell yourself what you will do to end a nagging discomfort in your life. https://Newsletter.

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.
