OPINION Editorial

Pristine beaches not forthcoming It seems like there’s been nothing but good news over the last six months for environmental advocates in Ventura County when it comes to power plants.

The years-long fight over NRG’s Puente Power Project at Mandalay in Oxnard came to a halt when the California Energy Commission announced in October that it would not support the construction. After that, almost like dominos, NRG stated that it would suspend the project’s application and would shut down three power plants at Mandalay this year. Last week, NRG said it would shut down its Ormond Beach generating station by October. Also, the Calpine Corporation made a request last week to suspend plans to build a generating station dubbed Mission Rock Energy Center in Santa Paula.

The reduction of emissions and subsequent suspension of potential carbon-producing projects is good news for advocates fighting for clean air. But those who fought fearlessly against new power projects were also passionately aggressive about power plants on the beach as eyesores and restricting public access. Unfortunately, taking back the beach isn’t as easy as protesting projects and emailing legislators.

Take, for instance, Petrochem north of Ventura and Halaco in Oxnard. When it comes to the oil refinery on Crooked Palm known as Petrochem, it was nearly 30 years after the operation shut down before the property owners received notice to clean up

Letters Students first!

The president of the school board has the power to make the agenda. Unfortunately, the same power can also ignore a fellow elected yrustee or even the majority of the board. Blocking a vote can dictate over a majority of elected officials and leave the wishes of the community ill -served.

I have served as a trustee of the Oxnard School District for 14 years. Over time, I have grown concerned that the school district needs public scrutiny.

A public school district is in the business of education. We are a not-for-profit agency. Yet the OSD reported a line item in September that showed that only $7 million of an allocated $16 million for books and school materials had been spent. The “savings” were to be placed in the general fund.

Had student academic test scores been high or even going up, the action could be of lesser importance than it is for a district that is underachieving like ours.

Oxnard voters approved of a $90 million bond for school construction in 2012 that spoke of “class size reduction” and new construction of schools on existing sites that were in some cases 60-plus years old. To continue matching the needs of our community, the district asked for an additional $142.5 million bond in 2016.

Having $232.5 million provided by our community’s vote is daunting, yet schools have been built with the same amount of classrooms as

the site from the Environmental Protection Agency. While it took only a couple of years for the EPA to step in in 2006 after Halaco shut down in 2004, the slag heap remains; the site became a somewhat dangerous homeless encampment and the full cleanup remains a goal for the future. From our story, “Powering Down,” on page 6, the actual demolition of the power plants on Oxnard beaches, at least in the foreseeable future, may require a stretch of the imagination.

While NRG had reached a compromise to demolish one of the plants at Mandalay in exchange for approval of the new facility, the owner of the plants themselves, GenOn, filed for bankruptcy last year and NRG will no longer be affiliated with the company.

And so, the air will be cleaner but the blight will remain on Oxnard beaches; the future is uncertain.

The question remains, what will leadership in Oxnard be willing to discuss and/ or negotiate for pristine beaches? Perhaps there is some legal loophole that would mandate the plants’ demolition, but from what we have seen with other problem sites in Ventura County, we aren’t optimistic. We do, however, look forward to learning about strategies for their removal and to idyllic beaches. In the meantime, surely, people fortunate enough to live within driving distance from beaches with plenty of public access are not going to them anyways.

Maybe it’s time for a change and take advantage of what is available to us.

the old buildings that had been serving Oxnard’s population in the 1950s. Class size reduction was a great war cry but continuously rebuffed by the two board presidents at school board meetings.

I have already called for action on the items mentioned above, as well as on project labor agreements to keep construction projects staffed with local workers, a parent education project with the Mexican Consulate, and programs to improve academic results.

Those requests have all been ignored, not over months but over years, without consideration or a vote. In contrast, friendships and even nepotism have shadowed our presidentapproved agenda items.

I am proud to say that the Oxnard School District has already been divided into voting districts. This too has taken several years. Fairness and equal representation won out.

I now call for better representation of our community with a rotation of board president among all the elected trustees. All constituents should have a voice. The practice of the past eight years has seen two trustees holding this position seven times. The trustees of the Oxnard School District should represent the community to the school district, not the district to the community.

The positions of board president and clerk should be rotated among all. Items from any elected trustee should appear on an agenda for a vote. Improving education should become a goal. Promises made about construction bonds should be kept.

District elections are an important step in empowering a disenfranchised population

in our academic governing body. Sections of our community that never had a neighbor in elected office can now be represented.

The representation of board president should also follow.

A new election will soon be upon us. Mailers from incumbents will decry, “Students first!”

Let’s make it so. All students, their parents and the community should not be hijacked by two elected egos.

Denis O’Leary Oxnard School District board member.

District 1

So done with Dunn

Just want to personally thank Steve Greenberg for his super cartoon this morning showing how much we, in the Thousand Oaks area, are so “Done With Dunn”! His presence on our school board has created a disaster for our community for far too long, and hopefully he can be removed in November. We are working hard to make that happen, and it’s thanks to artists like you, which helps our efforts.

I really like Steve’s work and I noticed he saw the final showing of Paul Conrad’s work at College of the Canyons several years ago. My husband teaches political science at that school and we also saw that same Conrad exhibit.

Steve’s style reminds me of Paul’s work, which I miss every day … I’m old enough to remember all his King Richard pieces! However, I do enjoy the work of Lalo Alcaraz now.

Mr. Trump goes to North Korea

by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

W

hen Donald Trump became president, we all agreed that the only thing we all knew was that we had no idea what would happen. We might predict a Hillary Clinton presidency. We understood Barack Obama’s agenda. George W. Bush was an easy man to figure out. All have similar temperaments. Trump is/was/will be a wild card forever. So on March 6, when he tweeted out the following 47 words, let’s be honest, no one was really surprised.

“Possible progress being made in talks with North Korea. For the first time in many years, a serious effort is being made by all parties concerned. The World is watching and waiting!

May be false hope, but the U.S. is ready to go hard in either direction!”

Immediately, pundits on both sides started breaking down the pros and cons and logistical ramifications.

“There are so many outliers and so many moving parts to this meeting that it could be a major logistical problem for all sides involved,” Yun Sun, the Co-Director of the East Asia Program at Washington, D.C.’s Stimson Center, told Fox News. “Trump doesn’t care how he is perceived domestically among politicians, so he might be the only president to actually do this.”

The key phrase here is “Trump doesn’t care how he is perceived domestically among politicians.” Trump’s wild temperament may be his downfall, but it might also make him more favored in history than anyone could predict.

I remember that there was a Garfield poster in my third-grade classroom that had Garfield

John Bolton disagrees. Bolton, a potential Trump cabinet member and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said on Fox News that North Korea’s leadership might be a strategic move to push their nuclear weapons agenda.

He feared that North Korean leader Kim JungUn would butter up the president to take the heat off.

‘‘

Trump’s wild temperament may be his downfall, but it might also make him more favored by history than anyone could predict. in a tree next the dog Odie, stating, “It’s amazing what one can accomplish when one doesn’t know what one can’t do.” I don’t want to offend my Garfield fans out there, but Trump’s ignorance of the presidency is creating conversation with the craziest madman in the world.

Dennis Prager, my favorite conservative, stated on his talk radio show that having a “crazy” on the right is beneficial because it puts the evil crazies on check. Too often, the good guys don’t have a person to strike fear in the hearts of the madmen.

“The only thing North Korea is serious about is getting deliverable nuclear weapons,” he added.

There are basically three outcomes of this meeting.

1) President Trump creates a new relationship with North Korea, producing a new global economic player.

2 President Trump and Kim Jung-un get into a huge fight and a world war begins.

3 An agreement is met, there is a moment of peace, but eventually North Korea breaks its

deal, and option 2 becomes reality.

Am I being too pessimistic here?

Interestingly, no U.S. leader has visited North Korea while serving in the Oval Office. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton traveled there, 1.) to seal a disarmament deal (Carter in 1994) and 2.) free hostages (Clinton in 2009), but both had been out of office for years before visiting the country.

In all reality, more bad than good could happen, and other nations could see us as possible negotiators with tyrants. Personally, I’m torn, as I see the potential in the meeting but also the possible disastrous ending. Of course, many felt that way in the 1980s when President Ronald Reagan met with Mikhail Gorbachev.

“Trump needs to take the same tone Ronald Reagan took when he met with Mikhail Gorbachev,” Robert Pape, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, said, referring to Reagan’s role in ending the Cold War by talking with the Soviet leader, “The two can’t easily re-create that, but that should be the goal.”

Trump’s presidency continues to play out like a surreal dream or nightmare, depending on who you ask. By visiting North Korea, it’s as if he’s reenacting the Seth Rogan film The Interview from a few years ago.

This isn’t a movie, though. It’s real life. It just sometimes feels like a comedy. ♦

Power to Speak

VC Supervisors’ strange moves

by Sumie Mishima and Rene Aiu

T

he sudden announcement that the harbor director was retiring in March was accompanied by two unusual actions: First, before her retirement announcement, the harbor director signed over power of attorney for the Fisherman’s Wharf project to the private developer Channel Islands Harbor Properties (CIHP). The county’s land use application with the city of Oxnard for Fisherman’s Wharf says, “I, Lyn Krieger, hereby designate Tom Tellefsen (CIHP) as the Attorney-in-Fact for the Property Owner (County) for all purposes of processing this application with the City of Oxnard.” This means that the County of Ventura has given the developer, CIHP, the right to negotiate on the county’s behalf with the city of Oxnard for the project that only benefits CIHP. This move raises more questions about the Board of Supervisors. What do they owe this developer to turn over legal authority of the Fisherman’s Wharf project to CIHP and allow CIHP to represent the county? A public agency, like the county, should not be turning over its

power of attorney to a private entity that has different and potentially adverse interests. This is an obvious conflict of interest.

The developer will clearly negotiate and protect CIHP’s interests first not the county’s or city’s. This is the same developer who was given a free two-year extension for an exclusive right to negotiate for Fisherman’s Wharf that eliminated alternative development opportunities with any other developer. This is another example of the Board of Supervisors making strange business decisions.

In a second strange move, the supervisors voted to make an exception to the requirements of the Public Employees Pension Reform Act (PEPRA 2013). They voted to allow the harbor director to become a part-time employee until the end of the year to work particularly on the Fisherman’s Wharf project. Strange, since she abdicated legal authority to the developer. The supervisors appear insistent on doing anything to promote the Fisherman’s Wharf project, including adding to the county’s staff cost.

On Feb. 6, at the board meeting, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors moved the vote up two hours earlier than the published time estimate on the agenda, so the public was not

able to voice concerns.

The law requires civilian government retirees to be absent from the workforce for 180 days before they rejoin as an employee, a temporary worker or contractor. Working on projects such as Fisherman’s Wharf is not the “critically needed” usual emergency exception. Nor are highly specialized skills required for these harbor projects. As reported by the Ventura County Star, the harbor director said, “The bulk of her time is spent working with businesses that lease land at the harbor and public agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.” This situation does not justify making an exception to the pension reform law. Why should the harbor director be allowed to continue to work like a consultant until the end of the year on this unpopular 400-apartment project at Channel Islands Boulevard and Victoria?

Will she now claim attorney-client privilege in her communications with the developer?

In the past the harbor director has given partial responses to many public information requests sent to obtain information about the Fisherman’s Wharf project. With this new arrangement, information will be even more difficult to obtain. The community’s defense

to these tactics is an open, transparent process that it currently does not have.

All these actions at the very least have the appearance of impropriety and demand a change in the process. The county’s questionable business decisions point to the need for a harbor commission composed of appointed and elected members with at least one member from the community. This commission must have real decision-making authority over development and leases at the harbor. It can’t be a toothless tiger.

Now is the time for change at the harbor.

The county has exploited Channel Islands Harbor because it has been a cash cow and provides revenue to the county. It hasn’t, however, used the money to maintain the harbor. The county fails to see that this harbor is a rare treasure, a “hidden pearl,” one of the most beautiful small boat harbors in the nation. The Channel Islands Harbor should be treated with the respect it deserves and be available to all of the citizens of Ventura County.

In Brief T.O. TRINITY PACIFIC WINS MOCK TRIAL COMPETITION

Smoke stacks from the power plant on Ormond Beach have become a mainstay in Oxnard for decades, but will they remain when the plants are taken offline later this year?

Powering down Four Oxnard power plants to close this year, two proposals suspended in Oxnard, Santa Paula

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

T

he Ormond Beach Generating Station will go offline come October, but its fate as a former mainstay on the Oxnard coast remains a mystery as no plans have been made for its removal, and who bears responsibility for such a task remains unclear.

NRG Energy subsidiary GenOn owns the Ormond Beach and Mandalay generating stations as well as the land they sit on.

GenOn filed for bankruptcy in June of 2017 and is expected to become its own standalone company by the end of 2018, according to David Knox, spokesman for NRG. With its closure, the Ormond Beach station joins three existing NRG power plants at Mandalay Beach in closing. NRG will also shutter two more gas-fired power plants this year, Etiwanda station in Rancho Cucamonga and Ellwood station in Goleta.

NRG put on hold plans to build yet another power plant on the Oxnard coast in late 2017, the so-called Puente Power Project, after the California Energy Commission announced that it would recommend against that construction. In neighboring Santa Paula, it was announced last week by the Calpine Corporation that there is a request to suspend plans to build a generating station dubbed Mission Rock Energy Center.

One question remains: What becomes of the shuttered power plants?

The Ormond Beach Generating Station began operating in the early 1970s, and the Mandalay plant opened in 1956. Not too far away sits Halaco, a designated superfund site due to high levels of toxic materials that still remain on the property. The site is a former metal smelting location operated by the Halaco Engineering Company until 2004. Residents and local officials have protested any new construction on the Oxnard coast and came out strongly against the planned Puente Power Plant project.

Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez was in Washington, D.C., last week attending the National League of

6—

— March 15, 2018

Cities annual meeting where Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson was a featured speaker. Ramirez also took the time to urge the Environmental Protection Agency not to forget about the Halaco site, adding that she believes EPA Director Scott Pruitt will prioritize superfund site cleanup. As far as the Ormond Beach and Mandalay stations go, she says that the Council is not yet ready to divulge its strategies.

“The company would tell you that it’s not their responsibility and that they can just walk away and leave their trash on our beach, that’s their take on it, that’s their view,” said Ramirez. “If you or I left our trash, even on our private property, in the front yard, the city would come calling and say, you better clean it up.”

Ramirez adds, however, that there is no formal requirement for NRG to remove the plant. Knox echoes that assessment.

“The only state requirement is that the sites be safely and environmentally secured and monitored, and we will do this once the plants are retired,” said Knox, adding that GenOn will be “the company that safely and environmentally secures and monitors the sites once the plants are retired.”

The state of California is operating in a glut of power resulting from nearly 500 new power plants constructed since the year 2000. As reported in the Los Angeles Times, by 2015, most gas-powered plants in the state generated only onethird of their capacity as use declined due to investment in renewable energies such as solar and wind.

In Santa Paula, Earthjustice, a nonprofit environmental law organization, is cautiously optimistic about the suspension of the Mission Rock Energy Center proposal, which it says is not only unnecessary in the same vein as the Puente Power Project, but would damage culturally sensitive land important to the native Chumash people should it be approved.

Angela Johnson Meszaros, staff attorney for Earthjustice, says that the California Energy Commission will need to

decide whether or not to terminate the plans altogether or set a specific period of time for the suspension as it did with the Puente Power Project, which was given a six month window.

“It’s definitely a step in the right direction, but I want us to remain clear that Calpine is sort of in the driver’s seat here,” said Meszaros. “It seems like it’s part of a trend where these power plant developers are recognizing that California has moved on from investments in fossil fuels and these fossil fuel power plants are just an anchor to the past.”

As for Ormond Beach and Mandalay, Meszaros’ words are similar to Ramirez’s.

“NRG made a ton of money off of rate payers in SoCal operating those plants, and for them to take the position that now they’ve made their money and they’re going to walk away, essentially leaving their beach trash behind, is deeply problematic,” said Meszaros. “They ought to do better than just walking away to leave the thing to be a public nuisance.”

Ramirez says that Oxnard has joined Los Angeles’ Community Choice Energy Program, a green initiative offering an alternative energy source from Southern California Edison. Edison supported the Puente Power Project. Beginning in 2019, Oxnard, along with Ojai, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Ventura County, Ventura, Moorpark and Camarillo, will draw energy from the program for its residents, unless residents opt out and stay with Edison.

Ramirez says that she is proud of the city’s opposition to the proposed power plants and is happy that Ormond Beach and Mandalay are going offline.

“For all of these decades, the city of Oxnard, unlike other coastal cities which have unpolluted beaches, a vista and public access, have had to put up with smokestacks that look like some industry setting up on our beach,” said Ramirez. “Finally our city, community said, no more. I’m very happy about it, but I know that there’s ✦ much more to go.”

Don’t call it beginner’s luck: The mock trial team from Trinity Pacific High won high marks on its way to first place at the 2018 Ventura County Mock Trial held in early March in Oxnard.

Trinity Pacific, a small, private Christian School in Thousand Oaks, will progress to the state competition for the first time in the team’s history, this being the 36th iteration of the Mock Trial competition. The team also won the San Francisco mock trial tournament and the Empire world championship in New York in 2014.

The Ventura County Office of Education hosts the annual tournament that pits dozens of teams from Ventura County high schools against each other in a mock trial featuring a fictitious case. This year’s case pitted teams in combat over People v. Davidson, a case involving Casey Davidson, charged with the murder of a member of an extremist nationalist group.

Trinity Pacific will represent Ventura County at the state mock trial competition held from Friday, March 16 to Sunday, March 18 in Orange County.

COUNTY NAMES TEMPORARY AG COMMISSIONER

Susan Johnson has been named Acting County Agricultural Commissioner by recommendation of County Executive Officer Mike Powers and approval of the Board of Supervisors, replacing retiring Commissioner Henry Gonzalez until a permanent commissioner is recruited.

Johnson was appointed Deputy Agricultural Commissioner in 1999 and the served as Chief Deputy Agricultural Commissioner until her retirement in 2011.

“We’re fortunate to have someone of Sue’s caliber to draw on as we begin our recruitment for a new agricultural commissioner,” said Powers. “Sue brings a store of institutional knowledge with her and her ties with the agricultural community will serve the department well as we begin the transition process.”

Gonzalez served as commissioner for nine years and is leaving to fill the same position in Monterey County.

NINTH CIRCUIT SIDES WITH FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE OVER “NO-OTTER ZONE”

The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to end its so-called “no-otter zones” in 2012, rejecting a challenge by commercial fishing organizations that called the decision harmful to the industry.

In 1987, the no-otter zone was created, stretching from the waters off Santa Barbara County to the border of Mexico. Otters were to be transported to San Nicholas Island in order to establish a population there and to prevent harm to commercial fisheries. Of the 140 otters transported, however, only 11 survived.

The Environmental Defense Center and The Otter Project filed a lawsuit challenging the practice, and in 2012 the Fish and Wildlife Service terminated the no-otter zone. The otter species, which historically ranged from 12,000 to 16,000 from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border, has dwindled to 3,186, and the species is listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. “The fishing groups were insisting on an unnatural, unhealthy system serving their own narrow commercial interests,” said Steve Shimek, executive director of The Otter Project. “With the Court’s ruling, otters will slowly return and change the system back to the healthier and more complete ecosystem it once was, with bigger kelp forests and more fin fish.”

Microscopic surgery is better than ever in Oxnard

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

S

t. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard has a new toy to better conduct brain surgeries: a Zeiss OPMI Pentero 900 microscope, capable of making blood vessels light up like Christmas for microsurgery precision.

The microscope utilizes fluorescent technology, visualizing tissue and blood vessels in the brain in full HD quality for review by surgeons. The OPMI Pentero visualization system is said to be “so powerful it can check the flow of blood through tiny vessels that have been repaired during surgery,” including vessels in the brain.

“This microscope allows enhanced surgical visualization of complex anatomical structures and regions for difficult open neurovascular procedures, along with improved fluorescence vascular imaging,” said Alois Zauner, M.D., a neurosurgeon at St. John’s Regional Medical Center.

The minimally invasive microscope is the latest gadget at the center’s new Neuroscience Center of Excellence, part of the Modernization and Expansion Project underway at the medical center. The expansion will include a neurointerventional biplane angiography system, as well as “enhancements that will allow for brain clot removal, aneurysm repair, carotid artery stenting, advanced brain and next tumor removal and intracranial hemorrhage stoppage.”

“The addition of this new operating-room microscope, along with our enhanced programs and abilities in the field of neuroscience, is one more example of fulfilling our promise to the community to provide the safest and highest of quality care coupled with the latest state-of-the-art technologies,” said Darren Lee, President and CEO of St. John’s Hospitals. “No longer do our community members need to travel outside our community ✦ to receive world-class care.”

f George Romero were here today, he might very well be front and center for the Ventura County St. Patrick’s Day Parade, where a clone of the undying green pig known as Shamhock, Shamhock 2, will make its debut on Saturday, March 17.

Shamhock 2 was created using his father’s “DNA” — i.e., pieces of fabric — and reconstructed from photographs and memories into an identical 12-foot-tall, 20-feet-wide iteration.

The original Shamhock died a cruel and unusual death when his very fabric ripped in front of his father, Tim O’Neil, and deflated in a macabre display at the 29th St. Patrick’s Day parade in 2017.

“He died right there in front of me,” said O’Neil. “I was speechless.”

In December 2017, a funeral precession hosted by the St. Patrick’s Day parade committee, marched through downtown, replete with casket, in order to raise the $3,500 needed to resurrect Shamhock.

“He’s a symbol of fun, and we need that right now,” said Faye McDonald, treasurer of the committee.

undreds of students across Ventura County took part in a national walkout to protest perceived inaction on gun violence in the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14.

Students from Ventura High School planned a 17 minute walk out consisting of a march around campus boundaries followed by speakers on the school field. At Fillmore High School, senior Lorenzo Anthony Palomera, 17, organized students to meet in the school’s quad for 17 minutes for a discussion on gun violence.

Seventeen minutes being symbolically chosen for the number of students who died on Feb. 14 in Florida.

“Teachers have been very supportive,” said Lorenzo, adding that he and fellow organizers sent emails to county school administrators ahead of the planned walkout.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE County Family Justice Center provides network for victims of domestic violence, abuse

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

W

hen Danielle A. Fleisher was 24 weeks pregnant with her twin daughters, she was violently assaulted by their father while holding her 1-year-old daughter at the time.

“The assault was so bad that it caused my twins to be born prematurely,” recalled Fleisher of Moorpark. “My twins are now developmentally delayed and receive in-home therapeutic services.”

Today, Fleisher is the co-chair of a women’s survivor group called VOICES of Ventura County, which comprises survivors working together to bring awareness to the community and support to victims as they become survivors.

“The biggest misunderstanding is that domestic violence only happens within drugrelated or dysfunctional homes,” Fleisher said. “My life was as normal as it could get and I still got assaulted. The reality is that it can happen to anyone at any time.”

VOICES of Ventura County is among the agencies that’s joined the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office to create a Family Justice Center where victims will feel respected, understood and empowered as they learn about the many resources available.

“This effort is about making a one-stop location that will aid victims of domestic violence,” Fleisher said. “Having a one-stop location that has multiple agencies housed in it will make it so that the victims will have the assistance that they need and not go back to the abuser.”

The Family Justice Center will serve as the integration point for many of the services that are currently out there, said Michael Jump, chief deputy district attorney, and chief of victim and community services with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.

“The whole idea is to organize existing services into a single point of access, and then to create an environment within the Family Justice Center that is focused on making that access as easy as possible for the victims it will serve,” said Jump of Santa Paula.

Ventura County has a tremendous

community of services, from both the local and county government to nonprofit and community-based providers, Jump noted.

“The center will create a space for them to work together for the common interests of the victims they serve and at no cost to the providers,” he said. “Their partnership will involve providing the same services they currently provide, only doing so at the Family Justice Center with space provided for them and as an integrated part of the team.”

The Family Justice Center is currently in the planning stages, Jump said.

Workgroups are meeting monthly to tackle various aspects of the center’s development to include a governance and facilities workgroup, engagement and outreach workgroup, funding and sustainability workgroup, return on investment and benchmarking workgroup, and a service delivery and operations workgroup.

“All of these workgroups are focused on developing the foundation for the Family Justice Center,” Jump said.

A Family Justice Center foundation has been established to begin raising the funds needed for this effort, and the search is ongoing for a suitable facility. The center will be funded by a public-private partnership between local and county governmental agencies and nonprofits contributing staffing and services, and by the Ventura County Family Justice Center Foundation and governmental and nonprofit grants.

“We hope to have a facility within the next two years but its location will depend on the availability of the right facility,” Jump said.

When it opens, the Family Justice Center will offer a broad range of services, including safety planning, child care, financial counseling, emergency shelter, spiritual support, civil legal assistance and victim compensation application assistance.

“Domestic violence in Ventura County is on the rise,” Fleisher said. “The reason for this is due to the lack of services that are available to victims so they end up going back with the abuser and it ends in a murder homicide. A lot of domestic violence goes undetected until it’s too late due to the lack of services available and the convenience of getting to the services that are available.”

Ventura County does have a high rate per capita of domestic violence calls to law enforcement, Jump said.

“The reasons for that could be a greater level of trust with law enforcement in our county or high incidence of domestic violence in our community,” Jump said.

For a variety of reasons, the crimes noted — and in particular domestic violence — are significantly underreported. The following statistics, which are specific to Ventura County, include 5,500 allegations of child abuse and neglect; 3,900 allegations of elder abuse; 200 allegations of sexual assault; and 7,200 allegations of domestic violence.

There are several myths regarding domestic violence, Jump said.

“The biggest myth is that Danielle A Fleisher, co-chair of a women’s survivor domestic violence impacts only group called VOICES of Ventura County, used the people experiencing it,” resources available through the District Attorney’s Jump said. “The reality is that domestic violence incidents office and the up and coming Family Justice Center have a ripple effect on the to rebuild her life after domestic violence. Pictured, entire community.”

Danielle, Lilian Rose Freiser, Melissa Rose Jankel, Law enforcement spends Charlotte Rose Murillo, Michaela Rose Murillo, and a significant amount of Madison Rose Murillo. time responding to the same addresses, mental and physical health services are often repeatedly needed, victims becoming obese, smoking and a litany of miss work affecting employers, “and yet all of other risky behaviors,” Jump said. these impacts are secondary to the long-term A major myth about domestic violence is effects on children who grow up suffering that the victims are “weak” — and that it’s and witnessing verbal and physical abuse,” easy to “just leave” an abusive relationship, Jump said. said Rachael Watkins,of Ventura, crime He noted the Adverse Childhood victims’ assistance program supervisor Experiences study, which showed that these with the Ventura County District Attorney’s children have exponentially higher risks of Office. committing crimes or becoming victims in The fact that people stay in an abusive the future. relationship doesn’t make them “weak,” she “In addition, children growing up said. in domestic violence homes are at “Through manipulation and coercion, astronomically higher risk of becoming abusers often chip away at the victim’s selfdrug users, suffering from mental disorders, esteem,” Watkins said. “Sometimes this

process happens so subtly that the victim is unaware of the psychological, emotional and other types of abuse that often precede a physically violent attack.”

Domestic violence victims are often presented with the question: Why don’t you just leave?

“No one wants to be hurt, beaten or made to feel inferior. Victims stay in abusive relationships for a number of reasons,” Watkins said. “They may have nowhere to go. They may believe that it is better for their children to stay in the home as a family. For many, the reason they stay is because of fear.”

Other common reasons for not leaving an abusive relationship include love, family, money, shame and isolation, Watkins noted.

“The reality is that leaving an abusive relationship is often the most dangerous time for a victim,” said Watkins, further adding that statistics show that 75 percent of women who are murdered by their batterers are killed when they leave or after they leave the relationship.

“Whether through physical abuse, financial abuse, emotional abuse or a combination of all three, the resources needed to safely escape an abusive relationship are often not readily available,” Watkins said. “We continue to strive to take the focus off of the often judgmental thoughts behind why a victim may stay, and turn that focus into what we can do as a community to make things better.”

Cyndy Taschman’s experience with violence occurred in 2014 when she was walking home from the library. A stranger jumped out of his car, came running up to her and tried to pull down her shorts.

“I was able to prevent this from occurring, went running after him, which scared him off, got his license plate number, saw him arrested and finally convicted nearly 18 months later,” recalled Taschman of Oxnard.

Because she works at the Government Center, it was very easy for her to go to court every single time — with 18 continuances — because it was a five-minute walk from her office.

“If I did not have easy access to the courthouse and to the victim advocates and to the deputy district attorney who tried my

case, I would not have been as involved, and the outcome of the case would have been very different,” Taschman said. “Because I was here, I could see it through and make sure the case was not just dropped; and a criminal was taken off the streets and sent to jail before he could attack someone else.”

Her motivation in pursuing the case was to make sure her attacker did not victimize anyone else.

“In the end, it doesn’t matter how violent the crime is — all of us who have been victimized need the assistance which will be offered at the Family Justice Center,” Taschman said.

“We need someone to help us through the myriad of steps to see a case through to trial, to inform us of what we need to do to seek assistance from the state fund for victims, to let us know what our options are — and to provide a huge amount of emotional support,” Taschman added. “This is essential for anyone who has been violated in any way. This is what turns us from victims into survivors.”

The ultimate goal of the Family Justice Center is to integrate high quality, committed partners in a safe, collaborative center with the resources to provide hope and healing to people impacted by violence and abuse, Jump said.

“What we are striving for is to save lives of victims in danger and to change the trajectory of children at risk of later criminal behavior, victimization and physical and mental-health issues resulting from exposure to violence,” Jump said.

The Family Justice Center is so important to Ventura County, Fleisher said, “because there is too much domestic violence going on in our county and too many innocent people, including children, who are directly affected by it.”

“As a community we need to stand up and fight for what’s right and protect our people,” Fleisher added. “A Family Justice Center would provide this and would be able to help so many people — including myself.” ✦ For more information, call the Crime Victims’ Assistance Unit at the District Attorney’s office at 805-654-3622.

Luck of the Irish

Client: Ventura

T

here aren’t many bands a guy like Bob Schmidt can play in while forging a career in rock music, so he knows he’s been fortunate to be with Flogging Molly for more than 20 years. As the Irish-inflected punk band’s “string wizard,” he brings the unique sounds of banjo, mandolin, bouzouki and mandocello to the band’s hard-driving sound.

With St. Patrick’s Day arriving on Saturday, March 17, this is the busiest time of the year for Schmidt and his bandmates. They play the Ventura Theater Monday night, following a show at the Hollywood Palladium on the holiday itself, and Schmidt took time to discuss the band’s enduring popularity.

“I started playing with Dave [King] and Bridget [Regan] about nine months before we got the full band going,” recalls Schmidt. “Dave was living with me at the time, so I just jumped on it. Bridget, Dave and I were doing acoustic shows while we were rehearsing other musicians, so people wouldn’t forget who we were as we built the band.”

Flogging Molly marked a return by King to the hardrock sound that he had developed over a decade as the lead singer of the heavy-metal band Fastway. A native of Dublin, King had fallen in with Fastway upon his arrival in Los Angeles years before, but wanted to play more traditional Celtic music the longer he lived in Southern California and pined for the sounds of home.

Since King couldn’t see eye to eye with Fastway’s label, he was released from his contract — freeing him to create the band of his dreams. The seven-member group went through other names initially while building a reputation and becoming a popular presence at Molly Malone’s. Band members eventually settled on the name Flogging Molly as a tribute to those days of begging friends to come see shows at the Irish pub.

“Every once in a while we do a late morning or afternoon set at Molly’s on St. Patrick’s Day,” says Schmidt.

“The owners we knew sold it and we don’t have that strong a connection. If I’m in town and have time, I’ll still pop in and have a pint because it has a sweet spot in our hearts.”

And yet Flogging Molly’s primary focus these days is finally breaking big in South America, Japan and New Zealand.

“I think it’s just the joy of performing that keeps us together and driven because we’ve been performing together a long time and the crowd likes us and we pass the energy back and forth,” says Schmidt. “I grew up in L.A., playing guitar and bass predominantly in L.A., and the hair metal era was a losing battle to become a shredder because technically proficient guitarists were everywhere.”

“I’d go to swap meets and learned off-the-beaten-path stringed instruments because it was the only way to stand out,” he continues. “I brought mandolin, hurdy-gurdies and sitars into our sound. The folk music traditions of most countries was their punk rock, and that unhappiness with status quo mixed into jolly drinking songs is a pretty ✦ powerful thing.”

ART+CULTURE nowhere” resonates throughout her work.

“Exodus: I See Myself in You” depicts Syrian refugees set against a background of paradise motifs. Another section of Blue Like Me includes portraits from the “Faces” series, which earned Benjamin a Fulbright scholarship. A portrait of a decorated war hero shares the space with one of a local caterer. “I liked that all members of the community were equal in value,” comments Schmid.

Several other works rounding out the exhibit eloquently and powerfully challenge what Schmid calls “the othering of people that we do.”

Navigating cultural and personal borderlands at CLU’s Kwan Fong and William Rolland galleries

by Emily Dodi

C

alifornia Lutheran University plays host to two exhibitions that transport viewers to faraway places while making them feel right at home. Blue Like Me at the William Rolland Gallery features work by Siona Benjamin, an Indian-born artist based in New Jersey. In the nearby Kwan Fong Gallery is Time Traveler: Compass by Rotem Reshef, an abstract action painter who works in Tel Aviv and New York.

BLUE LIKE ME, WILLIAM ROLLAND GALLERY

“It is nice to be reminded of shared aspects of humanity,” says Rachel Schmid, curator of Blue Like Me. “[I] was drawn to the way [Benjamin’s] work underlies a commonality across multiple religions, geographies and cultures. She can take something that is essentially very human — like loneliness, fear, vengeance, excitement, love — and translate it with motifs influenced

That sense of home and not home is central Many of Benjamin’s pieces feature images of to Benjamin’s work. She was brought up Jewish women — sometimes a self-portrait, sometimes in the predominantly Hindu and Muslim India, a dancer, sometimes a Syrian refugee — who attended a Catholic middle school and a Zoroasare depicted in the most beautiful shade of blue. trian high school, then emigrated to the United “My childhood was something that seemed hard States. “I always had to reflect on and consider to explain,” Benjamin has said.

A lovely walk across campus to the Kwan Fong Gallery leads you to Time Traveler: Compass by Rotem Reshef. The work is striking in its size and impact. Bursting with color, movement and sheer magnitude, the work stretches two stories tall and includes six connected scrolls, each representing a season. “Reshef imprinted different materials, mostly plastics and threads, on the canvases,” explains curator Sagi Refael.

“She added an additional feature representing each season: raffia for summer, cellophane for winter, ribbons for spring and leaves for autumn.”

Another version of Time Traveler was first exhibited at the University of La Verne. For the installation at Kwan Fong, explains Refael, “Reshef wanted to use the same scrolls in a new way. This transition represents both the changes that the world has been going through . . . as well as to show how art can shift and become completely different while using the same materials, much like the four seasons repeat each year but never in the same way.”

Time Traveler has been described as a lighthouse, representing “a safe land.” Refael explains that it invites viewers to “search for the compass within themselves and reflect on the times we live in. Its size inspires the viewer to move in front of it to catch every detail. Instead of the viewer standing still, Reshef aims to create an artwork that activates the entire body of the viewer, to make him/her walk back and forth, get closer to the painting in order to see texture and variations of color, but also to go back and see the fuller picture, both from the ground level of the installation and from the balcony of the Kwan Fong Gallery.”

The work bears the shape of a cross but is not meant to be religious. “Reshef suggests that art can evoke a spiritual and meaningful experience,” Refael says, “not by praying [to] a divine entity, but by looking inside and finding oneself reflected in the artwork. [The artwork] reveals the soul of the artist, connecting to the soul of the viewer.”

Both Benjamin’s and Reshef’s works break down barriers while celebrating differences and highlighting commonalities we all share.

Every piece is a soulful dance to the rhythm of humanity. This being Women’s History Month (acknowledged with the understanding that women make history every single day), there’s no better time to take in the works of great women artists. To their credit, the galleries of California Lutheran University often feature the work of women artists. Today they are giving Siona Benjamin and Rotem Reshef their rightful places in the sun. Seeing their work promises to be enlightening. ✦ See Blue Like Me through April 12 and Time Traveler: Compass though April 8 at California Lutheran University, 60 W Olsen Rd, Thousand Oaks.

“I feel it is important that students in this community have the opportunity to be themselves and have fun,” she continues. “Everyone with a high school ID is welcome, and we have many straight student allies as well, but it is a place where everyone can be comfortable in their own skin, so to speak.” ✦

A Wrinkle in Time Classic novel gets thoroughly scrubbed

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com A Wrinkle in Time Directed by Ava DuVernay Starring: Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling Rated PG for thematic elements and some peril 1 hr., 49 mins.

F

or those of you who might be fans of Madeleine L’Engle’s science fantasy book A Wrinkle in Time, it should be noted up front that director Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of the novel is only loosely connected with either the story or the themes of the original novel.

Whereas L’Engle’s work deals directly with the nature of good and evil, DuVernay has crafted a film that is about building a young African American woman’s confidence and courage. In addition, DuVernay has updated the story to include race relations, feminism and the value of a woman’s self-confidence.

The film opens with young Meg Murry (Lyric Wilson) talking with her father, NASA scientist Dr. Alex Murry (Chris Pine), about the nature of the universe. During their conversation, he assures her that although he may be gone for a while, he will return. Shortly thereafter, he disappears.

Five years later, teenage Meg (Storm Reid) is struggling in school and generally living a miserable life at home. Her mother, Dr. Kate Murry (also of NASA, and played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw), is beside herself. Meg’s grief has caused her to become a social outcast to her friends and family.

Strange characters start to appear in Meg’s life. A chatty neighbor named Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon) appears at their door.

Meg’s little genius of a brother, Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe), takes her to a haunted house to meet a philosophy-spouting Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling). A strange voice in the backyard leads to the appearance of a large-thanlife Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey).

Together the three women utilize what’s known as a tesseract (i.e., the wrinkle in time) to transport Meg, Charles and Meg’s high

26 —

— March 15, 2018

school friend Calvin (Levi Miller) across the universe to the planet Uriel. There the women reveal that Meg’s father has been captured by an evil force known as IT, and that Meg and company must find a way to free her father.

It’s not surprising that a director would take a book and create his or her own story.

What is surprising is that someone as talented as DuVernay would work with a script that seems so loosely pulled together, as if bits and pieces of the tale were drawn out of a hat and randomly pasted on paper.

What’s more, while Reid (as Meg) does her best to create drama and give the picture its sympathy factor, Witherspoon, Kaling and Winfrey are neither charming nor interesting.

They serve more as plot pieces to move the story along. Even Zach Galifianakis, who usually provides a film’s humor, plays it straight as the Happy Medium.

The best parts of the movie are the special effects, which are visually stunning and sometimes surprising. In particular, the final confrontation with IT is the film’s highlight.

The book by L’Engle is steeped in Christian imagery and scientific imagination. It’s also written for a specific audience — young girls starting their journey of self-discovery. The movie by DuVernay takes a much broader path. Dropping most of the religious imagery, DuVernay focuses on the possibilities of the mind and the power of love. Like L’Engle, however, the story is geared for young women, particularly women of color, and, as Mrs. Which suggests, is meant to encourage them to be warriors, however you might interpret that.

I doubt that A Wrinkle in Time will have much appeal for an adult audience, but young women might find it attractive. The movie is dramatic with a touch of romance and youthful father-daughter drama. The action picks up steam toward the end and wraps up with a happy ending.

L’Engle it is not. Nor is it DuVernay’s best work. With or without the book, however, there seems to be a built-in audience for this film. Filled with valuable life lessons and lots of encouragement for young women, that may be all this movie needs in order to provide its own wrinkle in time. ♦

Garman’s Pub 932 E. Main St., Santa Paula www.garmanspub.com 933-4600 • $6-25

I

t was two hours before taking the stage for the first time ever that I decided I’d have two imperial pints to calm my nerves, and Garman’s Pub was the obvious choice to fulfill my dreams.

The Irish pub sits right along Santa Paula’s main drag, just around the corner from the Santa Paula Theater Center, and is rather nondescript from the outside, but once you step through the doors, it’s as if you’ve landed on the Emerald Isle. A surprisingly open dining area with a long, sleek bar decked out with Irish flags and tap handles greet you, and it seems as if one could get lost in exploring the Irish paraphernalia on the walls.

The name of the game, of course, was to have a few pints. Imperial pints, that is. Unlike us weaklings here in the States where a pint is 16 ounces, an imperial pint is 20. As if that wasn’t a tall enough order, Garman’s has a full bar along with at least 19 combinations of beer with Guinness as the base. So food would also be included, to which Garman’s is a wonderland of Irish fare.

Everything one would expect from an Irish pub is here, with a few interesting fusion takes on traditional dishes. First, our beverages. I placed an order for a combo I hadn’t had in a while: the Black and Tan ($8), half Guinness and half Bass Ale. My companion ordered a

MadeWest Poli ($6.50, 16 ounce), an American IPA, because she wanted to be difficult.

Soon, two glasses of delicious brew were headed to our table, and we contemplated one of the enticing pub grub offerings: Would it be the fully loaded Irish nachos or fries ($10)? Thick-cut chips (similar to what we call steak fries) or thin fries smothered in cheddar cheese sauce and topped with sour cream, green onions and bacon? Or the curiously named Reuben Tail Pipes ($9) — deep-fried egg rolls stuffed with what I could only assume would be corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing as in the Reuben sandwich, also on the menu.

In the end, we chose a big plate of sweet potato fries because we’re simple. Also, the Black and Tan “Orion” Rings ($9) piqued our interest, but seeing that we could order a side of onion rings with our upcoming sandwiches, we chose to do that instead.

For a main, I chose the grilled portobello melt ($11) with a side of onion rings ($2.50 extra), though typically it comes with a side of chips or fries. My companion chose the grilled veggie salad ($11), taken in by a recommendation printed on the menu from someone named Courtney Fit ’n Fine, and if it’s good enough for whoever that is, it’s good enough for us.

Elsewhere on the menu are the traditional pub foods that we passed over: the fish and chips ($14); corned beef, cabbage and mashed potatoes plate ($15); and even a shepherd’s pie ($10/$14); but when the enormous plate of sweet potatoes arrived, along with our main meals, we were

Santa Paula isn’t where you’d expect to find a raucous Irish pub, but why wouldn’t you? It’s a friendly neighborhood joint for the young and old alike. Just as we finished our second round, a man yelled from the entrance, “I found the leprechaun!”

I turned to see him carrying his smaller friend, clinging to his side.

Turns out, this was exactly what I needed before standing in front of a crowd of strangers and pouring my heart out. ♦ March 15, 2018 — — 27

ADVICE GODDESS

Remaining Chased

I

have a history of terrible relationships that end in awful heartbreak. The advice I keep getting is to date down — get together with a man who is less attractive than I am and who likes me a little more than I like him. I was kind of into the idea of equality on all levels, but maybe I’m wrong.

— Rethinking Woman After you’ve had your heart broken, it’s tempting to opt for romantic safety measures. For example, a garden gnome could be an ideal partner — because few women will fight you for your 18-inch “Man of Resin” and because his stubby little legs are molded together, making it impossible for him to run away.

There’s a name for this “dating

by amy alkon

down” thing you’re contemplating: “the principle of least interest.” This is sociologist Willard Waller’s term — from his observations of dating dynamics between college students — describing how whichever partner is the least emotionally attached is in a position to “exploit” the other.

Now, you aren’t looking to clean out a guy’s bank account or make him scrub the baseboards with Barbie’s toothbrush. Regardless, you’re likely to have more power in any relationship — and be less likely to be the exploitee — if your response to a guy’s “I love you SO much!” involves polite gratitude or pointing skyward: “Look! A UFO!” The problem is, how do you engineer this sort of situation? Only “swiping right” on men you have the lukewarmies for? Only accepting dates from men you don’t entirely respect? Of course, even an “I’m just not that into you” strategy like this isn’t foolproof, because what anthropologists call “mate value” can shift — like when the mouthbreathing nerdy loser becomes the mouth-breathing but unexpectedly sexy startup multigazillionaire.

Tempting as it is to look for hacks to avoid heartbreak, it’s probably more helpful to look at whether

Pedal To The Settle

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

The British science-fiction TV show Dr. Who has appeared on BBC in 40 of the last 54 years. Over that span, the titular character has been played by 13 different actors. From 2005 until 2010, Aries actor David Tennant was the magic, immortal, time-traveling Dr. Who. His ascendance to the role fulfilled a hopeful prophecy he had made about himself when he was 13 years old. Now is an excellent time for you, too, to predict a glorious, satisfying, or successful occurrence in your own future. Think big and beautiful!

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

New York City is the most densely populated city in North America. Its land is among the most expensive on earth; one estimate says the average price per acre is $16 million. Yet there are two uninhabited islands less than a mile offshore in the East River: North Brother Island and South Brother Island. Their combined 16 acres are theoretically worth $256 million. But no one goes there or enjoys it; it’s not even parkland. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect it’s an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your life: a potentially rich resource or influence that you’re not using. Now is a good time to update your relationship with it.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

The iconic 1942 movie Casablanca won three Academy Awards and has often appeared on critics’ lists of the greatest films ever made. That’s amazing considering the fact that the production was so hectic. When shooting started, the script was incomplete. The writing team frequently presented the finished version of a new scene on the day it was to be filmed. Neither the director nor the actors knew how the plot would resolve until the end of the process. I bring this to your attention, Gemini,

because it reminds me of a project you have been working on. I suggest you start improvising less and planning more. How do you want this phase of your life to climax?

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

If all goes well in the coming weeks, you will hone your wisdom about how and when and why to give your abundant gifts to deserving recipients — as well as how and when and why not to give your abundant gifts to deserving recipients. If my hopes come to pass, you will refine your ability to share your tender depths with worthy allies — and you will refine your understanding of when not to share your tender depths with worthy allies. Finally, Cancerian, if you are as smart as I think you are, you will have a sixth sense about how to receive as many blessings as you disseminate.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

How adept are you at playing along the boundaries between the dark and the light, between confounding dreams and liberated joy, between “Is it real?” and “Do I need it?”? You now have an excellent opportunity to find out more about your capacity to thrive on delightful complexity. But I should warn you. The temptation to prematurely simplify things might be hard to resist. There may be cautious pressure coming from a timid voice in your head that’s not fierce enough to want you to grow into your best and biggest self. But here’s what I predict: You will bravely explore the possibilities for self-transformation that are available outside the predictable niches.

quality that’s worthy of being part of your intimate repertoire. There’s a third virtue related to these two: playfulness. Many humans of all genders are drawn to those who display joking, lighthearted behavior. I hope you will make maximum use of these qualities during the coming weeks, Virgo. You have a cosmic mandate to be as alluring and inviting as you dare.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

I suggest that you gaze at exquisitely wrought Japanese woodcuts . . . and listen to jazz trumpeter Miles Davis collaborating with saxophonist John Coltrane . . . and inhale the aroma of the earth as you stroll through groves of very old trees. Catch my drift, Libra? Surround yourself with soulful beauty — or else! Or else what? Or else I’ll be sad. Or else you might be susceptible to buying into the demoralizing thoughts that people around you are propagating.

Or else you may become blind to the subtle miracles that are unfolding, and fail to love them well enough to coax them into their fullest ripening. Now get out there and hunt for soulful beauty that awakens your deepest reverence for life. Feeling awe is a necessity for you right now, not a luxury.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

In the Sikh religion, devotees are urged to attack weakness and sin with five “spiritual weapons”: contentment, charity, kindness, positive energy and humility. Even if you’re not a Sikh, I think you’ll be wise to employ this strategy in the next two weeks. Why? Because your instinctual nature will be overflowing with martial force, and you’ll have to work hard to channel it constructively rather than destructively. The best way to do that is to be a vehement perpetrator of benevolence and healing.

Cultivating a robust sense of humor makes you more attractive to people you want to be attractive to. An inclination to be fun-loving is another endearing

In 1970, a biologist was hiking through a Brazilian

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

forest when a small monkey landed on his head, having jumped from a tree branch. Adelmar Coimbra-Filho was ecstatic. He realized that his visitor was a member of the species known as the goldenrumped lion tamarin, which had been regarded as extinct for 65 years. His lucky accident led to a renewed search for the elusive creatures, and soon more were discovered. I foresee a metaphorically comparable experience coming your way, Sagittarius. A resource or influence or marvel you assumed was gone will reappear. How will you respond? With alacrity, I hope!

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The Velcro fastener is a handy invention that came into the world thanks to a Swiss engineer named George de Mestral. While wandering around the Alps with his dog, he got curious about the bristly seeds of the burdock plants that adhered to his pants and his dog. After examining them under a microscope, he got the idea to create a clothing fastener that imitated their sticking mechanism. In accordance with the astrological omens, Capricorn, I invite you to be alert for comparable breakthroughs. Be receptive to help that comes in unexpected ways. Study your environment for potentially useful clues and tips. Turn the whole world into your classroom and laboratory. It’s impossible to predict where and when you may receive a solution to a long-running dilemma!

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed to the top of Mount Everest. They were celebrated as intrepid heroes. But they couldn’t have done it without massive support. Their expedition was powered by 20 Sherpa guides, 13 other mountaineers, and 362 porters who lugged 10,000 pounds of baggage. I bring this to your attention,

Aquarius, in the hope that it will inspire you. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to gather more of the human resources and raw materials you will need for your rousing expedition later this year.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Although her work is among the best Russian literature of the 20th century, poet Marina Tsvetayeva lived in poverty. When fellow poet Rainer Maria Rilke asked her to describe the kingdom of heaven, she said, “Never again to sweep floors.” I can relate. To earn a living in my early adulthood, I washed tens of thousands of dishes in restaurant kitchens. Now that I’m grown up, one of my great joys is to avoid washing dishes. I invite you to think along these lines, Pisces. What seemingly minor improvements in your life are actually huge triumphs that evoke profound satisfaction? Take inventory of small pleasures that are really quite miraculous.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 08/21/2007 as Document No.: 2007082100163333- 0, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Ventura County, California, executed by: SEAN C.

All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust.

It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (800) 758-8052 for information regarding the trusteeís sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.homesearch.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-3999. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your child.

Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing.

On 05/16/2018, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint

After making such an order, the Court shall have no power to set aside, change, or modify it, but this shall not be construed to limit the rights to appeal the order. If the Court, by order or judgment, declares the child free from the custody and control of both parents, or one parent if the other no longer has custody and control, the Court shall, at the same time, order the child referred to the licensed County adoption agency for adoptive placement by that agency.

The rights and procedures described above are set forth in detail in the California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26. You are referred to that section for further particulars. Michael J.
