requests for comment. Soll and her husband, Jesse, have a 6-month-old baby and a 12-year-old dog. “The dog complicates things a bit . . . So many pets are being abandoned in shelters,” because people can’t find rentals where pets are allowed. She claimed one

n Oct. 15, my husband and I received our eviction notice that we had 60 days to vacate the property,” said Lauren Smith. She and her husband have lived in the Midtown Ventura apartment for 14 years. There are five units in the building, and a big fig tree in front.

Angelina Soll and her 6-month-old son, Jasper, at their Midtown Ventura home. They like the spot and consider it home. “It is incredible, of course we were very surprised to get this notice. We’ve never had any problem, never been late on our rent. No problem with our neighbors.” She then heard about eviction notices in the entire building across the street and believes it is related to AB1482, the new legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 8. While the law doesn’t go into effect until Jan. 1, 2020, it may be having some unintended consequences leading landlords to issue eviction notices ahead of the law taking effect. “It is meant to protect renters like us . . . in older buildings, older than 15 years. Basically, right now, a landlord can evict a tenant for no reason at all, no just cause . . . they just give 60 days’ notice,” said Smith. “What we think is happening, is that a lot of landlords are getting rid of their tenants, then have a vacant place, then going to jack up the rents to go into 2020 with a much brighter outlook.” According to Angelina Soll, all the tenants in her building at 1313 Buena Vista, across from Smith, have received 60-day notices. It is a 100-year-old building, and it does need work done on it, including fixing code violations from the City of Ventura. But Soll thinks the timing is not coincidental. “I don’t dispute that work needs to be done . . . they are supposed to have all the permits in place [for the required work] before asking us to leave,” Soll said, noting that the new law is likely compelling the landlord to issue the “termination of tenancy” notices they’ve received before they should, because the building will be empty and new tenants can be charged higher rent. Neither the property owner (attempted contact through Oaktree Property Investments and Management) of 1313 Buena Vista nor Oaktree Property Management, which oversees the property, responded to

person in her building who has found a place to move had to give up their cat. “The market is really, really rotten,” said Soll, whose husband recently resumed work after being unemployed for a few years. “We both have student loans.” Their current rent is $1350 and she doesn’t think they will be able to find a one-bedroom apartment that allows a dog in that price range. “We are in a state of panic. We’ve looked at a couple of places but are avoiding property management companies because they don’t allow pets.” Smith said she saw that the city of Los Angeles just approved “a moratorium on all evictions, to protect everyone ‘til the end of the year. I have no idea if they would ever do anything like that here. We are really bummed and are trying to figure it out.” Earlier this month, the Los Angeles city council voted 14-0 on an emergency moratorium on evictions through the end of the year to protect tenants until AB1482 goes into effect. (Khoury, Andrew, LA Times, Oct. 22, 2019, “New L.A. ordinance slaps moratorium on evictions ahead of Jan. 1.”) Smith said her landlord, a local general contractor, is planning renovations. “We told him we could move out, put our stuff in storage . . . and move back in, paying more rent . . . he said he might be having a family member move in.” According to Smith, her landlord was saying things that were allowed within the law. But the timing just doesn’t fit. “I know life is unfair sometimes, but this just seems kind of wrong.” Nancy Swanson, 64, who lives off of Ventura Avenue, has also received an eviction notice. “I’ve lived here six years, and loved this house like I’ve owned it. It’s an older house; you know the saying you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig? Well, that’s what I did — made it cute and made it mine.” She has a couple of dogs and a big backyard, and just went on disability in August. Since the Thomas Fire there has been a rat problem, but she thinks that is

common now in the neighborhood. Her rent is $1750 for the small two-bedroom bungalow built in 1920. She was handed the eviction notice at her front door, by someone she’s never met. Another tenant on her street recently was evicted, and she says a couple of families on the next street over have also received eviction notices. “It’s motivated by the January rent control [law], I know that it is,” she said. “It is motivated by greed, making money. They want to get me out of here . . . so they can spruce it up a little bit.” She said she expected a rent increase, and was ready for it. “I thought it would be fair. I didn’t expect to be forced out.” Swanson, like Smith, was willing to pay more in rent, but both believe that with the pending law, it makes more sense for the landlord to have new tenants move in at a higher base rent amount. “It would be great if our elected people here might do that,” said Swanson, referring to the Los Angeles moratorium on evictions. “There are others living paycheck to paycheck. People who don’t have money to spare,” and when you have to move, “it’s first and last [month’s rent], plus security . . . that’s thousands of dollars, even for me it’s going to take more than two

months to collect up.”

The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 The Tenant Protection Act of 2019, AB1482, creates protections for tenants in buildings that are older than 15 years and owned by corporations. The big changes are that “no fault” evictions will no longer be allowed and rent increases are capped at five percent in most cases, but are never to exceed 10 percent. Examples of cause that must be shown in order to evict someone include failure to pay rent, damaging the property and using the property for illegal purposes (www.acceaction.org/ ab1482knowyourrights). Protections start Jan. 1, 2020, but the law includes a provision that applies to all rent increases received between March 25, 2019 and Jan. 1, 2020. Those increases must comply with the new law and landlords have until Jan. 1, 2020 to reduce any rent ♦ increases that exceed the cap. The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment has a tenant hotline (888-4287615) for assisting those who have received eviction notices and/or rent increases.

Kindness Corner Casa Pacifica welcomes Pearl the puppy by Kimberly Rivers krivers@timespublications.com Meet Pearl, a 10-week old Newfoundland puppy who is joining Camarillobased Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families as a trainee in its therapy dog program. Currently she weighs about 23 pounds but when fully grown will be 100-120 pounds. Known as “gentle giants”, these large, usually black dogs have a calm nature and were originally bred for water rescues and other work requiring swimming in the icy waters surrounding Newfoundland, a large island off the East Coast of Canada. Pearl is spending the first part of her training with handler Kelly Myers in the center’s intake area, greeting kids as they come and go and providing therapeutic support as needed. Myers said Pearl is settling in well, “It’s like she’s always been here.” Pearl is the fifth Newfoundland at Casa Pacifica, a trend that started in 2007 when Mary and Tony Tesoro donated the first therapy dog, a “Newfie” named Archie. “As we continue to bring Newfoundlands onto campus to work with our youth, we strive to learn new ways to increase the human-animal bond and promote resilience and healing in non-traditional formats,” said Dr. Josh Lepore, clinical director. Pearl is named after The Perlman Family Foundation, which recently provided funds to Casa Pacifica, some of which were used to purchase Pearl. Casa Pacifica provides crisis-care and in-residence treatment for foster or at-risk children in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. For more information, call 805-445-7800 or visit www.casapacifica.org.

o medicinal herbs curb illness as well as pharmaceutical drugs? What are the biological reasons that naturally-growing plants can alleviate symptoms? Answers are on the way. The Second Annual Ojai Herbal Symposium, set for Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 16-17, is themed “The Wisdom of the Body,” and will include a wide spectrum of presenters with expertise in medical training and healing experience.

8—

— November 14, 2019

Varied topics will be covered by a physician, a pharmacist, herbal healing practitioners, a Chumash elder, an acupuncturist, botany experts and more. “In my 43 years of leading Herb Walks in Ventura County, I have met and learned from so many knowledgeable herbalists, authors, M.D.s, acupuncturists and other health and medical experts,” symposium organizer Lanny Kaufer told the VCReporter. “Two years ago, it occurred to me how cool it would be to bring them together for a conference to share their wisdom

and experience. Then I reached out to other great minds in the field of herbal medicine and the first Ojai Herbal Symposium was born last year.” Kaufer is the founder of Ojai Herbal (ojaiherbal.org) and has been leading Herb Walks in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties for decades. The symposium theme, “The Wisdom of the Body,” is the title of a classic 1932 physiology textbook. Its author, William Cannon, described “homeostasis,” which the National Institutes of Health defines as a core concept of biology, because it

means the constant regulation of the body’s internal systems, in the face of challenges from illness and injury.

Pain Relief

The presenters’ combined experience will encompass every angle, with a balance of pros and cons. One of the dozen presenters will be Dr. James Adams, associate professor at the USC School of Pharmacy, who will explain why herbal medicines can provide effective therapy when standard medicines do not.

VCREPORTER.COM “The best example is pain relief,” Adams told the VCReporter. “The use of opioids and NSAIDs for pain relief is dangerous and kills about 150,000 people every year.” NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen and others. Acetaminophen is an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (a critical enzyme needed for good health). He points to plant medicines such as sagebrush liniment and black sage sun tea that can be safer and more effective for pain relief and can even cure chronic pain. “Human beings have used herbs as medicines since the beginning of our existence, about 200,000 years,” Adams said. “We have evolved using these medicines. There has been a genetic selection for those people who respond to plant-based medicines. We need to continue using plant medicines.” For those who habitually rely on a morning caffeine jolt, Adams noted that tea and coffee are plant medicines. Adams will speak about the use of medical marijuana, as well as about California plant medicines. “I will present the clinical findings for the use of these medicines,” he said. “Availability of plant medicines is a concern,” he added. “I grow plant medicines in my yard to increase availability.”

“That is, they don’t have to monitor for its effects on its customers.” Although she makes no general recommendations, Sussex does discuss herbal medicines with her patients, if there are a significant number of studies suggesting safety and benefit. “For example, there are several high-quality studies demonstrating a benefit in pain relief in certain types of arthritis with turmeric use. It is important to remember there are no blanket recommendations that can be applied to anyone when it comes to herbs — just as aspirin may not be safe for everyone — and each patient’s entire medical history and medications must be reviewed prior to considering if herbal medicines are safe for them.”

Limitations and Lack of Regulation

Dr. Jena Sussex, L.A. County and USC Medical Center

Another presenter, Dr. Jena Sussex, an internist and pediatrician at the Los Angeles County and USC Medical Center, will address some of plant medicines’ limitations. “Herbal supplements are actually very diverse and unfortunately not regulated,” she told the VCReporter. “They are largely interpreted by patients as safe but there are significant side effects, even frank toxicity of supplements.” Herbal supplements can sometimes be unsafe. “There are well-documented cases of patients with fulminant liver failure after taking dietary supplements,” Sussex said. The supplements studied included kava, ma-huang (also known as ephedra, and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine), LipoKinetix, skullcap, and herbs that make up bai feng wan (used for female reproductive health). “Several of these patients unfortunately died while awaiting liver transplant,” she said. “The largest issue is there is frighteningly minimal to no regulation,” in Sussex’s view. She pointed out that herbal supplements are not FDA-regulated, and don’t need to be proven safe or to contain the supplement they claim or be effective prior to being sold. “These companies are under no obligation to do any post-market safety testing either,” she said.

Risk of contamination is another concern, she added. Pesticides, heavy metals and undeclared other drugs have been found in herbal supplements. Herbs can be poorly labeled and confusing. “Also, there can be too much of a good thing,” she said. “Some otherwise safe ingredients and products can be harmful when consumed in high amounts, when taken for a long time.” And “natural” does not mean “safe.” “There are many toxic compounds that occur naturally: morphine, cocaine, box jellyfish venom, arsenic and ricin to name a few,” Sussex said. “Additionally, while the desired compound may be beneficial, the amounts and additional compounds in the supplement are often unknown.”

Support, Not Cure With regard to constant regulation, symposium presenter Ron Teeguarden, master herbalist at Dragon Herbs, will detail the difference between tonic herbs and other types of herbs, a critical distinction. Channeling homeostasis, Teeguarden emphasizes the proactive use of herbs to cultivate good health rather than to cure disease. The author of Chinese Tonic Herbs and other books, Teeguarden

will explain the Chinese tonic herbalism approach. “We humans evolved in a natural world along with every plant, animal, fungus, bacterium and virus that is alive on earth today,” Teeguarden told the VCReporter. “We can thrive in our earthly environment so long as our body is strong and adaptive.” Teeguarden will also address limitations. “Tonic herbs strengthen functions,” he said. “They enhance life force. They should not be considered medicinal for any ailment. When one falls ill, they should seek medical care and advice and follow that advice. “Sometimes, people have chronic weaknesses that medical care is not quite handling, so they need to discover the diet that improves their

and eliminate the noxious. ‘Positive’ represents the functions of regulation, defense and adaptation of the organism. ‘Noxious’ represents all the disadvantage factors that hinder the regulation, defense and adaptation of the normal organism and that lead to sickness.” “Tonic herbs are not a replacement for pharmaceutical drugs suggested or prescribed by a physician for any medical condition,” Teeguarden stresses. He teaches that tonic herbs are not medicines, but superfoods. “These herbs are now available to anyone with the insight to study them a little, and to obtain them,” he said. “I strongly recommend that health seekers become connoisseurs

state of health, the art of sleeping well, the way to destress, and so on. Tonic herbs fall into this category of ‘life cultivation’ arts. They are not medicine — they provide support.” Teeguarden does not regard plant medicines as “magic bullets for disease.” No diet, exercise program, or anything else is a magic cure either. “But tonic herbs are the best herbs in the world to take to promote our functional balance, and to support our quest for healthy aging, well-being and longevity.” Teeguarden explained that Chinese tonic herbalism is not medicinal, but rather a path toward achieving vitality. The ability to achieve health, he said, “chiefly depends on the ability of any organism, including us, to resist disease from within and to flourish by maintaining dynamic balance, vitality and a steady spirit even as circumstances change.” “Chinese tonic herbs are largely capable of modulating a vast range of critical mechanisms that determine how well we function,” Teeguarden said. “They are not acting as drugs to alter functions in one direction or another but are nurturing to the regulatory mechanics of our biochemistry.” At the symposium Teeguarden will cover the core of Chinese herbalism — to “assist the positive

of tonic herbs, so that they can discern high quality from cheap, low-quality products. The results are well-established by the masters of the past in many traditions. These days, many of the world’s greatest athletes use tonic herbs.” Teeguarden claims that worldwide, “Tens of millions of people know that they get sick less often, feel better and perform better as a result of consuming a moderate quantity of tonic herbs on a regular basis. Thousands of research studies are confirming the positive actions of tonic herbs.” “People love them because they are natural,” he continued. That ✿ could be the key.

The Ojai Herbal Symposium takes place Nov. 16-17 at Krotona Hall, 2 Krotona Street, Ojai. For acupuncturists in attendance, the symposium is Continuing Education Provider #1526, under the California Acupuncture Board, approved to offer 12.5 Category 1 CEUs and 2 Category 2 CUEs, for a total of 14.5 possible CEUs.

AmidISSUE: funding concerns, The Elite goes “all out” for 2020 11/14/19 by Emily Dodi

ne of the most thrilling things about live theater is its unpredictability. Every performance is different. Every audience has its own personality. From the moment the house lights go down and the actors take their places, anything can happen.

Leading up to the new season, The Elite has been hosting The Beacon Theater Company’s production of Walter Cronkite Is Dead by Joe Calarco, through Nov. 24, 2019. The play is about two women with opposite political views who find themselves stranded together at the airport during a storm delay. In December, Teatro de los Américas will perform. Other projects include The Elite’s new conservatory program and Arts Are for Everyone, which offers free tickets to members of the community who cannot afford them. A recent playwriting competition was a great success, as is the ever-popular monthly open mic nights. The Elite’s ETCetera Stage, the theater’s smaller space (formerly known as the South Stage) will stage two ambitious productions for the 2020 season: God’s Country by Steven Dietz and Eleemosynary by Lee Blessing. The plays, one about the rise of a white supremacist group and the other a story about the relationship between three generations of women, challenge the audience to wrestle with difficult issues. “It’s a risk,” Bill Walthall, the ETCetera stage coordinator, says about producing “edgier” fare. Like Marsalisi and others at The Elite, Walthall is approaching the do-or-die situation as a call to create his best work ever and as the chance to bring in talents that have been building at The Elite over the years — from actors and production craftspeople to young directors. For the sake of Ventura County theatre, the plan deserves to work. If it doesn’t, Walthall says,“At least we go out swinging for the fences.” “These are exciting times,” says Stephanie Rice, The Elite’s managing producer and president of the board of directors. Rice explains that community theatre is “about pulling together to bring the best of the best to those who come to share in the joy of what ends up on stage. It’s a place to connect with the community. And it’s, oh, so much more.” Now is the time for the community to save The Elite (#savetheelite). As Marsalisi says, his “goal is for The Elite be so important to the people of Oxnard and Ventura” that it will never close. Make no mistake; it’s never been more important. Walter Cronkite Is Dead, onstage through Nov. 24 at The Elite, 2731 S. Victoria Avenue, Oxnard. For more information, visit beacontheatercompany.com.

f there’s one constant I’ve observed it’s that nostalgia sells. It can be that impulse buy of your favorite childhood candy at the supermarket checkout or a late-night shopping spree on stockx for some Air Jordan IVs. I, too, am a hapless fool when it comes to campy keepsakes of days past. So when I took in the decor at Boccali’s in Ojai it was like driving 88 mph in a certain Delorean. Red and white checkered tablecloths. Jugs of vino encased in straw baskets. Braids of garlic pinned to the wall. Boccali’s ambiance harkens back to a time when Italian restaurants offered a thematic opportunity to experience the culture. It was a dining experience unto itself. But then came the whispers in the dark of a new miracle diet, one that was “guaranteed” to melt away fat like a lit candle in the summer sun. The limelight for Dr. Atkins’ miracle diet was thankfully short lived, but not before it instilled sufficient amounts of carbophobia, and contributed to many of my favorite trattorias having to shut their doors. For that very reason I immensely appreciate the tradition to which Boccali’s owners and staff steadfastly hold. This was brightly on display from the beginning of my visit to the flagship location at the very end of Ojai Avenue, as my server, Zack, was both friendly and well versed, as he had been an employee for several years. Though it was only high noon, I felt it almost insulting not to experience a glass of Boccali’s own award-winning wine. Landing on the Rustic Red Blend, a melange of cabernet, syrah and zinfandel, I was well rewarded as the jovial notes of blackberry and citrus blossom made for a velvety delight. Pairing this libation with my first

El Fortachón Piping hot out of the oven and piled high, this sandwich is the best of its kind, at least that I’ve found so far in VC.

Having previously been told of Boccali’s much-celebrated pizza, I decided to order an appetizer size to taste. Keeping the 1980s vibe alive, I went traditional Ono Kabab by choosing a pepperoni and mushroom topping. I did inquire about crust options (which I urge everyone to do) and, to my good fortune, they offered my go-to thin crust. The pizza was basic by design, forgoing fancy frills for a focused and fresh philosophy, one ever-present in Italian cuisine. Crispy and light with a comfortingly familiar flavor spectrum, the pie was a worthy addition.

ADVICE GODDESS

Once Upon A Crime

I’

ve been with my boyfriend for nine years, and I’m still pissed off about stuff from like five years ago. I don’t know how I remember this stuff when I can’t find my keys half the time. I’d like to get rid of these resentments and not keep bringing them up. I know it’s not healthy for me or our relationship, but I don’t know how to let them go. — Stuck So, basically, this is you: “I wish they allowed dogs in my building, but no biggie. I’ll take this thing you did in 2006 and make it my special pet.

by amy alkon I’ll feed it raw food and buy it artisanally made toys and take it around in a stroller.” On the other end of the spectrum from endlessly reprosecuting relationship misdemeanors is forgiveness. Evolutionary psychologist Michael McCullough explains in “Beyond Revenge” that “forgiveness is an internal process of getting over your ill will” for somebody who’s wronged you and then “experiencing a return of goodwill” and “opening yourself up to the possibility of a renewed positive relationship” with the person. Forgiveness appears to have evolved to preserve valuable relationships we have with others, but it seems contingent on our not being made repeated patsies, meaning we need to see that the offender won’t just trample our interests again. In line with this, research by social psychologist Ian Williamson and his colleagues finds that a reluctance to forgive can come out fear, including concerns by the victim “about how offenders will interpret forgiveness.” Basically, there’s a worry that forgiving the perp could send a message that it’s open season for repeat offending. Consider whether there’s reason

to believe your boyfriend doesn’t have your best interests in mind. If you stack up his behavior toward you, does it suggest he doesn’t care about you? If this is old stuff and he isn’t repeating the behavior, maybe it serves you best to decide to let it go. McCullough notes that a “lack of forgiveness for close, valuable relationship partners who harmed us in the past is associated with more anxiety, tension, and physiological arousal.” McCullough goes cute, writing: “Know forgiveness, know peace. No forgiveness, no peace.” If you feel your boyfriend’s a good guy but needs of yours aren’t being

My Fare Lady I’ve been dating a guy for just over a month. He’s asked me to go with him to an out-of-state wedding (across the country) several weeks from now, but he didn’t mention buying me a plane ticket. I think he should buy it because he invited me. Am I expecting too much? — Unsure Chances are he doesn’t expect you to mail yourself in a really big crate or saddle up Hortense the limping mule and meet him there -- just in time for the divorce party. Should you pick up the tab for your ticket? I don’t think so -- and not just because the guy invited you as his guest. Destination weddings in exotic places (or simply faraway weddings in dull and unglamorous locales) are not vacations. They are social obligations, big life events that are reinforced by the presence of witnesses. Having the community as an “audience” to a marriage ceremony

That could improve things, or you could decide to leave if things don’t change sufficiently. That said, his changing may take more than one discussion, or at least a few reminders to get the gears of new and improved behavior grinding into action.

The ceremony is typically followed by an open bar, some fancy grub, and a Beyonce cover band so the wedding is attended by more than the bride and groom’s teary-eyed relatives and a homeless guy who snuck in looking for free hooch. Don’t let this question fester in your mind to the point that you’re tempted to snarl at the guy, “Hey, tightwad, you planning to pay for my ticket or what?!” Ask right away, something like: “What’s the transportation situation? How are we getting to the wedding?” Assuming he doesn’t generally seem weirdly stingy, there’s a good chance he’s planning to buy your ticket but didn’t think to make it clear. There are a number of reasons a person spends hundreds of dollars on a plane ticket, and it’s generally not so they can eat free cake with a bunch of strangers on the other side of the country.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

If there are any potential Aries heroes or leaders or saviors out there, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to fully bloom and assert your practical magnificence. The lessons you have learned while improvising workable solutions for yourself are ripe to be applied to the riddles that are puzzling your tribe or group or gang. I want to let you know, however, that to achieve maximum effectiveness, you should be willing to do good deeds for people who may not be able to pay you back.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial that your receptivity be as robust as possible. To guide you in this delightful but perhaps challenging work, here are good questions for you to pose. 1. Do you know what help and support you need most, and are you brave and forthright enough to ask for it? 2. Is there any part of you, perhaps unconscious, that believes you don’t deserve gifts and blessings? 3. Do you diligently cultivate your capacity to be refreshed and restored? 4. Are you eagerly responsive when life surprises you with learning experiences and inspirations?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“Many people will not be honest because they fear loss of intimacy and togetherness,” writes self-help author Henry Cloud. But the truth, he adds, is that “honesty brings people closer together,” because it “strengthens their identities.” Therein lies the tender paradox: “The more you realize your separate identities, the closer you can become.” Living according to this principle may not be as easy or convenient as being deceptive and covert, but it’s ultimately more gratifying. Henry Cloud concludes, “Telling loved ones what is really on your mind and telling others what you really think is the foundation of love.”

CANCER

by rob brezsny (June 21-July 22):

“Maturity is having the ability to escape categorization,” said poet Kenneth Rexroth. That’s the opposite of the conventional wisdom. For many people, the process of growing up and becoming a seasoned adult means trying to fit in, to find one’s category, to be serious and steady and stable. Rexroth, on the other hand, suggested that when you fully ripen into your potentials, you transcend standard definitions; you don’t adhere to others’ expectations; you are uniquely yourself, outside and beyond all pigeonholes and classifications. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to practice and cultivate this sacred art.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Is there an event from your past that would be empowering for you to remember in detail? Is there a neglected but still viable dream you could resurrect, thereby energizing your enthusiasm for the future? Are there old allies you’ve lost touch with but who, if you called on them, could provide you with just the boost you need? Is there a familiar pleasure you’ve grown numb to but could reinvigorate by visualizing the original reasons you loved it? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to meditate on these questions.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Catholic saint St. Francis (1181–1226) loved animals and the natural world. According to one folkloric tale, he was once traveling on foot with several companions when they came upon a place where the trees were filled with birds. Francis said, “Wait for me while I go preach to my sisters the birds.” He proceeded to do just that. The birds were an attentive audience for the duration of his sermon, apparently captivated by his tender tones. Seven

centuries later, author Rebecca West offered a critique of the bird-whisperer. “Did St. Francis preach to the birds?” she asked. “Whatever for? If he really liked birds he would have done better to preach to the cats.” In the coming weeks, Virgo, I encourage you to do the metaphorical equivalent of preaching to both the birds and the cats.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Every now and then I authorize you Libras to shed your polite, tactful personas and express the angst you sometimes feel but usually hide. That’s now! To egg you on, read this mischievous rant by Libran blogger Clary Gay (claryfightwood.tumblr.com): “We Libras are constantly thinking about how to make everyone else comfortable and happy. There’s not a minute going by when we’re not worrying about radiating a soothing and comforting aura so everyone can have a good time. If a Libra is cranky, it’s because they snapped! Because of some nonLibra who doesn’t appreciate them! If a Libra is mean to people, it’s their own damn fault!”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Poet Robert Bly tells us that the door to the soul is unlocked. You don’t have to struggle through any special machinations to open it or go through it. Furthermore, the realm of the soul is always ready for you. Always! It harbors the precise treasure you need in order to be replenished and empowered. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I think that during the next two weeks, you should abide as much as possible in the soul’s realm—the cornucopia of holy truths and ever-fresh riches.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

In my estimation, what you’ve experienced lately has been akin to a fermentation process. It’s as if

you’re undergoing a transformation with resemblances to the way that grapes turn into wine or milk becomes yogurt or dough rises before being baked into bread. You may have had to endure some discomfort, which is the case for anything in the midst of substantial change. But I think you’ll ultimately be quite pleased with the results, which I expect will be ready no later than ten days after your birthday— and quite possibly sooner.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

ranks sixth, after them, in his excellence. I’m going to encourage you to dare indulging in behavior like Dante’s: to visualize and extol — and yes, even brag about — the virtues and skills that will ultimately be your signature contribution to this world.

(Feb. 19-March 20):

The Latin word for sea is mare. Flustra is the calm sea. Undisonus means “resounding with waves.” Caeruleus is the sea’s deep shade of blue, aestus

Many books have been written about Joan of Arc, a fifteenth-century teenage peasant girl whose improbable ascent to military leadership, under the guidance of her divine visions, was crucial in France’s victory over the English. Among the many miraculous elements of her story was the fact that less than a year before she led troops into battle on horseback, she didn’t know how to ride a horse. She learned by riding around her father’s farm astride his cows. I foresee an equivalent marvel in your future, Capricorn. By this time next year, you will have developed an aptitude that might seem unimaginable now. (P.S. There’s evidence Joan was a Capricorn.)

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

The Divine Comedy is one of history’s greatest literary works. Its author, Dante Alighieri, was 43 when he began writing the Inferno, the first part of his three-part masterpiece. Up until that time, he had published just one book and a few poems, and had also abandoned work on two unfinished books. Early on in the Inferno, the not-yet-renowned author presents a fictional scene in which he meets with the spirits of antiquity’s most famous authors: Virgil, Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan. Those illustrious five tell Dante he is such an important writer that he

You’ll recall your time floating in your mother’s womb and your most joyous immersions in warm baths and hotsprings. Why? It’s a favorable time to seek the healing and rejuvenating powers of primal waters — both metaphorically and literally.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 285 NORTH VENTURA AVENUE #24, VENTURA, CA 93001 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $267,357.55 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In

the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
