Editorial

Beyond gun control and elections On Wednesday, March 15, students across the nation marched out of classrooms in unison for 17 minutes, representing the 17 people killed during a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14. At Ventura High School, 500 students walked the perimeter of the high school and ended at the football field, where a few student speakers spoke about living in a time when mass shootings have become common place. Heads fell for a moment of silence after the 17 names were read aloud, followed by a call to get registered to vote. And the students were dismissed by a shout-out that if they didn’t get back to class on time, they would get a tardy slip. As these local young people cross into adulthood, they should be aware that if they think there is power in voting, they might need to get a clearer picture of how the elected representatives of this county are already speaking up on their behalf; local politicians tend to vote on big issues, such as gun control, the same way that students already think is right; and the power of one person, one vote is already going the way the students want for the most part, at least in California. What seems to be lacking is clear and direct communication among the general populace without ongoing interferences of so many things to distract us. It may not be a universal problem, but it’s surely a widespread one. We bicker too much about the superficial division of red and blue and all sorts of other stupid stuff, so much so that our kids are slipping through the cracks without enough people who really care to tell them, “Let’s just sit down and talk and perhaps even laugh as well.” The dramatic displays of violence that we have seen, from Newtown, Connecticut, to Parkland, Florida, plus Maryland and Austin in just the last week, speaks to a societal ill that adults are too busy to care about. There are numerous recent studies discussing the impact of our kids growing up in the information age, with their heads buried in their phones and on the Internet, and those actions may to be blame for this big mess, but they did not just grow up

Letters Forced growth

elieve it or not, folks, cities in most parts of California, including Ventura and Oxnard, are under MANDATORY orders from a state agency to INCREASE their construction of apartments and condos to support the MANDATORY population growth. State housing officials are using the “Regional Housing Needs Assessment” (RHNA) regulations, and a NEW law, just foolishly signed into law by our PRO GROWTH governor, SB 35, to force cities to build more housing and grow their populations (without any limits)!! UNLIMITED POPULATION GROWTH IS INSANE!!!

plugged in. We taught them that. We have been teaching our kids to avoid meaningful honest conversations about harsh truths and the mistakes we make because that’s what our parents taught us. From books to newspapers, TV and movies, the average family unit seems stuck in a distracted reality. We avoid conflict and confusion about our own personal lives by insisting that we always know what is right, and too many kids now have learned from us that life is nothing more than politics and getting “likes.” What is the point of this life if our kids are killing each other, or ending up with depression, with possible suicide on the horizon? On Jan. 10, at Coronado Elementary School, Sierra Vista, Arizona, a middle school student shot himself in the bathroom of the school and was pronounced dead at the scene. This is real. We must redirect our focus onto not just our children and teenagers, but us as well, the adults who have failed the young ones, perhaps, in part, because our parents failed us. We must own the mistakes that come from the lack of communication and care, and we must help our children understand that this life matters and that it is for us to enjoy together and not to fight each other over. Until we can redirect our time and attention on cultivating relationships with each other, fighting over gun control and which politician is right serves no good purpose until we are united with each other in a meaningful way. Consider this, how many of your neighbors do you know by name? Modern conventions should not divide us; we must turn this around and talk to each other; but pontificating about what morals and amendments are right only leads to more fights. Just stop. If we can’t respect each other and our differences, how will we ever learn to love and care? It’s not about guns or elections. It’s the lack of communication that builds walls that lead to hate and the isolation of one from another. And even worse, to mass shootings and verbal and physical fights. It’s time to talk and put the guns and slings down.

In Oxnard, for example, there are 10 THOUSAND family units (condos and apartments) that are under construction now, and another 10 THOUSAND planned for the next five years. This is INSANE to the Nth degree folks!!! EVERYONE should be mad as hell about the foregoing, as I am. I wrote a VERY hot letter about this FORCED population and housing growth to my own state representatives, Hannah Beth Jackson and Jacqui Irwin. Both of them voted against the OUTRAGEOUS state bill (SB35). GOD BLESS BOTH OF THEM FOR SUPPORTING THE VOTERS AND NOT THE DAMNED CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS, which are getting BILLIONS of tax dollars from all of the MASSIVE, MANDATORY construction. They are both trying to preserve the envi-

Beware

“Christian” conservative politicians have no empathy or emotion. They do not know love. They are psychopaths hidden behind a “mask of sanity” that presents them as Christians, but they are not Christians. They are “Caricatures of Christians.” Their actions are not Christ-like. They take everything from their fellow man. They are fascists who create misery, pain, civil oppression, economic failure and endless war. They don’t care about us; they have no guilt, conscience or remorse. Our thinking is atomized. Whatever we concern ourselves with grows. Emphasize democracy, not fascism. All we do is discuss possibilities of what was bad, what is bad, and what may be bad. We see, hear and know what is right but we are too cowardly to take on the injustice we see festering everywhere. We have all the information we need to unite and break free. We deny what we know because our awareness demands that we unite in every different fight. Think only how to unite. Unite your intelligence and intuition into one thinking unit for change. Think only on how to change America for the better. Christopher Judges Eugene, Oregon, former Ventura resident

Saving peoples’ lives

Blame game, March 1. Regarding Paul Moomjean’s dismissal of “quick-fixes” and his search for a perfect solution to gun violence, it turns out that implementing effective gun control is not that complicated. Most other developed countries have figured out how to better protect all citizens from gun violence. Why not learn from their experiences? For starters, choosing between saving peoples’ lives or the inconvenience of not being able to own assault weapons is easy to get right.

ECO GROUPS SUE OVER WHALE HABITAT PROTECTIONS

Walk out

Local students join national protest to promote change by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

igh school students across the country walked out of class on Wednesday, March 15, to demonstrate against perceived inaction on gun violence. For 17 minutes, students marched on school campuses, wielding a message that adults in charge have failed the country’s youth. On Saturday, March 24, adults are expected to join students during the March for our Lives national demonstration. In Ventura County, hundreds of students joined in on the action. At approximately 10 a.m., students gathered, walked out of class and demonstrated, peacefully, to mixed reaction from school administrators. At Ventura High School, over 500 students walked out, circling around campus in honor of the 17 students killed during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14. Students chanted, “Enough is enough,” as supporters stood along the sidelines. The message was clear: “We have to keep fighting,” said senior Eric Martinez to the group of students gathered on the field of the school stadium. After the speech, students participated in a moment of silence for the victims of the Parkland shooting. Martinez co-coordinated with fellow senior Philip Riley, 18, in organizing the walkout. Both are part of the Youth in Government group at Ventura High School and decided to help organize a demonstration to coincide with the national walkout while attending a Youth in Government convention in Sacramento. It was there that news of the Parkland shooting had reached them. When the pair returned home, they began working toward the shared goal of having students demonstrate in a way that would be inclusive rather than something to promote a singular political agenda. For that reason, the March 15 walkout at Ventura High was focused on gun violence as a whole rather than on particular incidents such as school shootings. “We wanted school safety, we wanted to be unified with the Parkland victims, but we didn’t call for any gun control legislation,” said Martinez, adding that domestic and gang violence are also on his radar. “The only thing we wanted was the demolishing of the Dickey Amendment.” The Dickey Amendment, passed in 1996 with strong support from the National Rifle Association, was attached to federal budget appropriations stating that “none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control.” “The CDC isn’t able to study gun violence across America,” said Riley. “To inform how Congress can make legislation nationally, they need hard data. That was the only specific piece, the only national agenda that we called for, besides the principles of safety in our schools.” Martinez and Riley note that the Parkland shooting galvanized many people like themselves for several reasons: the ease with which the shooter purchased the AR-15 rifle used during the attack and the fact that there were one armed personnel on campus in order to prevent such a thing from happening. Further, Martinez adds that the “accumulation” of school shootings has driven his activism. “I believe you can make the argument that there is a trend because of the lack of gun legislation in our country,” said Martinez. At Fillmore High School, senior Lorenzo Anthony Palomera, 17, organized a gathering of around 150 students at the school’s quad, during which students were invited to write condolences to the families of the victims of the Parkland school shooting. Palomera said that he had planned to start a discussion, but that the group was more reserved than he had expected. Most of the students, however, added to a chain created by art students to express personal feelings on gun violence. Palomera will be in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, March 24, and so will Philip Riley, going separately, to take part in the national March for our Lives event. In Ventura, over 500 people have responded on social media to attend a March for our Lives rally in downtown Ventura. Co-organizer India Hill, 15, a Ventura High School student, says that the march will be a “call for action.” “I hope that we can push Congress into working on greater gun reform, in closing loopholes used to purchase guns,” said Hill, alluding to the so-called Brady Bill loophole, or gunshow loophole, which allows for the private sale of a firearm to an individual without requiring a background check. “Many of the shooters who commit mass murders purchased their guns legally and in ways that the law sees as safely, but they didn’t use the guns in a safe way, they used them to murder many innocent people.” Hill will be legally able to vote, come the 2020 election, and she says she is “really excited” about it. “I hope someday to go into politics,” said Hill. “I’m loving being able to be politically engaged.” The March for our Lives event will begin at 10 a.m. at Plaza Park, 651 E. Thompson Blvd., in downtown Ventura. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/events/2080543158897694/. ✦

The Center for Biological Diversity, Turtle Island Restoration Network and Wishtoyo Foundation have sued the Trump Administration, alleging that it has failed to protect humpback whale habitat in the Pacific Ocean. The suit, filed in district court in San Francisco on March 15, has been brought in hopes of forcing the National Marine Fisheries Service to follow the Endangered Species Act’s requirement to “designate critical habitat within one year of listing a species as threatened or endangered and not authorize actions that would damage that habitat.” Two species of humpback whale were listed as endangered and a third as threatened in September 2016. The Trump administration has run afoul of environmental groups in California in many ways since announcing in January that it would invite offshore drilling in federal waters, including those off the West Coast; but the Refugio oil spill of 2015, which dumped 21,000 gallons of oil into the waters north of Ventura, is still fresh on the mind. “As cargo ships and crabbing gear slaughter West Coast humpbacks, the Trump administration won’t lift a finger to save these magnificent whales,” said Catherine Kilduff, attorney for the center. “The federal government needs to protect critical humpback habitat that’s prone to oil spills and dangerously dense with fishing gear and ship traffic. These whales need urgent action, not more delays.”

OJAI LAUNCHES GOVERNMENT ACCESS LIVESTREAM

If the thought of spending a Friday night at home in front of the television watching the goings-on of the Ojai City Council excites you, then have we got news for you: The city has launched a website featuring livestreams and recordings of council and commission meetings. Previously, only subscribers to Spectrum cable had access to the channel. Now, all residents can visit www. ojaicity.org, click on “Government Access Channel” and watch meetings to their heart’s content. The city says that it is working toward indexing meetings, similar to the system the city of Ventura already has in place, wherein users can click on a particular agenda item and be taken to that point in the recording. — Chris O’Neal

Never too late to graduate New program available via the county library boosts the high school completion rate by Michel Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

ammy Marquez, 52, of Oxnard, a single mother of four, has seemed to have a bit of good luck most of her life, at least when it came to working without a high school diploma. Though she dropped out of high school her junior year at Chatsworth High School after getting pregnant, she was able to manage pretty well the next 30-plus years of her life. It wasn’t until her position doing wine club sales, where she worked for six years, was no longer available and she didn’t get one particular job because she lacked a high school diploma, that she decided it was time to tie up that loose end. She did so by enrolling in Ventura County Library’s Career Online High School. “I signed up to get a GED but it was difficult to get to class,” Marquez said. “I heard about this online and jumped on it.” Marquez, along with five others from around the county in caps and gowns, accepted her high school diploma in the Topping Room of the E.P. Foster Library on Tuesday, March 20, the first graduates of the program. The online high school, offered by Ventura County Library’s READ Adult Literacy Program in partnership with Gale, a Cengage Learning company, has been around for about two years and the program takes about 18 months to complete. Marquez plans to pursue an associate’s degree and work toward providing child care for people with special needs, drawing from personal experience of caring for her 20-year-old son who has Down’s syndrome. For 15 years, Carol Chapman has been the coordinator of the READ Adult Literacy Program/ Community Engagement. When the California State Library offered an initiative to implement the online high school program, whereby the county library was able to buy and receive match-

ing scholarships for students wanting to enroll, Chapman jumped on it. The library accumulated 35 scholarships, valued at $1,100 each; and currently there 29 students enrolled, six of whom just gradated. “Interesting thing, when they sent us the original average age was going to be 27, it’s in the 40s,” Chapman said of those enrolled locally. “The majority have been single moms in their 40s.” She spoke of students who struggled in school and would most likely struggle with this curriculum, too, but there are a variety of resources available. “Those that struggled with math and algebra are probably still struggling but you have free help available and we can get you a tutor,” Chapman said. “Once in program, students are assigned a mentor online. One of our learners, the biggest help for him was only reading the text material and it also could be read to him. When reading it to him, he read along and it was easier for him to focus and he was grateful.” Chapman, however, who worked a combined 30 years in elementary education and at community college, noted that many, even high school graduates, still really struggle with reading, coming in at about an average fourth-grade reading level. But her whole life has been dedicated to helping others who struggled with conventional education. Along with scholarships and access to this online high school program, Chapman said that Ventura Adult Continuing Education has offered one free course to graduates of the program.

In the boxing ring Oxnard recall challengers express frustration, incumbents discuss governance as a whole by David MIchael Courtland

he effort to recall several Oxnard City Councilmembers got wholehearted support from Congressional hopeful Antonio Sabato Jr. on Thursday at a forum for candidates hoping to unseat Mayor Tim Flynn and three City Councilmembers. “When people are not doing their jobs, they must be removed,” Sabato Jr. said as people arrived at Corner Pocket Billiards in Oxnard, where the candidates were to be seated in the literal boxing ring. “What I have found out is that the people of Oxnard are not getting representation; they’ve had enough.” Sabato’s point was made again later by challenger Kari Cryder, an Oxnard property manager and consultant trying to unseat incumbent City Councilman Bert Perello. “The City Council has ignored us, they’ve forgotten we put them there,” Cryder said. “We’ve got this recall because the City Council ignored the people’s vote.” But Perello countered that he is a target of the recall election because of how he voted on a specific issue, not for being indifferent toward voters. “I’m being recalled for voting to raise the sewer rates, not for

going against the voters,” Perello said. “Why did they need to be raised? Because the city’s bonds were in default; it’s a big deal.” Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn underscored Perello’s point in a Monday phone interview, explaining that he skipped the forum because it wasn’t limited to debating the rate increase that prompted the May 1 special election. “(Other issues) aren’t relevant to the context of a recall election,” Flynn said, addingthat the forum’s sponsors were distracting voters from the real point of the special election by “morphing it into a regularly scheduled debate for a regularly scheduled election.” But Measure M, the ballot measure that Oxnard voters approved to repeal the wastewater rate increase, came up again in one of the questions candidates were asked. Measure M has been held up by a legal challenge from the city; a judge is expected to rule soon on whether it can go into effect. Francine Castanon, who is challenging Councilwoman Carmen Ramirez, said the council could have avoided a special election by meeting with Aaron Starr, the CPA and activist who gathered enough signatures to get Measure M — and later the recall election — on the ballot. Besides the rate increase, candidates were asked about the

search for a new city manager, what to do about Oxnard’s homeless population, management of Channel Islands Harbor, how to improve the city’s downtown and whether the city should allow marijuana growth and distribution. Starr, one of Flynn’s challengers, supported having a developer improve and manage Oxnard’s harbor and said that the city should create the right environment for marijuana growth and distribution. He said that there are only two types of homeless people — those with mental health and drug issues, and those “who choose to be homeless here. We need to find out what we’re doing to attract them here.” U.C., Santa Barbara, Academic Program Director Miguel Lopez, who is also challenging Flynn, said it would have saved money to hold the special election in concert with the state’s primary election. “With a June primary just days later, that certainly could have been pursued,” Lopez said, adding that the cost of a special election “when it’s all said and done is going to be close to $1 million.” Other candidates included incumbent Oscar Madrigal, Modesto “Morey” Navarro, Robert Lee Sumpter, Daniel Chavez Jr., Angel Garcia, Miguel Martinez, Enrique Petris, John Ragan, Ambrosio Casanova and Alfred Velasquez; Flynn challenger Lawrence “Larry” Stein did not attend. Councilwoman Carmen Ramirez is in Washington, D.C., attending the annual National League of Cities conference and said she is also visiting representatives to talk about the Halaco SuperFund site. The boxing-themed forum featured the candidates in a boxing ring, with four to five candidates in three rounds answering prewritten questions from moderators Pablo Ortiz and Manuel ✦ Arriola.

Local senior hops aboard tall ship for lifetime adventure

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

ince returning from a sailing trip to Cuba, Leo Lewis remains in awe of the love and warmth of the people who live in extreme poverty — and will likely never have the means to leave what’s considered a communist country. “But they live their lives as best they can,” said Lewis, 74, of Ventura. “There’s nothing down there. They’re incredibly poor. Yet the people all smile, they get out at night, they go walk around the parks. It’s quite well-kept.” When the people saw that Lewis was an American, they approached him in the streets with open arms. “They cannot wait to express their love,” remembered Lewis, who was born in England during the Second World War. “They invited me into their homes, their conversations. I never feared for my life once down there.” Those who work make the equivalent of about $20 a month in U.S. dollars, and people in governmental positions make about $40 a month. “Twenty dollars a month to live on, of course, is impossible,” Lewis said. “They can never leave Cuba. They’re trapped the rest of their lives.” Because there’s little money, many houses are bare with dirt floors, and those who have a toilet are considered lucky. “They would give you anything,” Lewis said. “If you give them a smile, they want to know you. They want to share what they’ve got.” Surprisingly, he said there was no crime to speak of. 10 — — March 22, 2018

‘‘

They would give you anything. If you give them a smile, they want to know you. They want to share what they’ve got.”

“They wash the streets in Havana so you don’t see litter, you don’t see homeless,” Lewis said. “They’re not violent people. Even the authorities with the drug-sniffing dogs were gentle people. They’re a gentle race of people.” The most “mind-boggling” aspect he discovered was their love for America. “They literally said, ‘Tell America we love them.’ That was the most significant thing I found down there in Cuba: We love America,” Lewis said. “How can it even be? It’s called love and caring about your fellow man.”

CUBA SAIL INVITATION

Lewis’ trip to Cuba was prompted in the beginning of November in 2017 by an invitation from Capt. Stephen Taylor, founder of the American Tall Ship Institute and a resident of Ojai. The American Tall Ship Institute is a nonprofit based in Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard that offers curriculum-based marine-science programs to schools and youth organizations. The program educates students from fourth grade to college age aboard a tall ship while hiking and kayaking the Channel Islands. Lewis first met Taylor about 15 years ago in San Pedro

— LEO LEWIS when he was the captain of the Kaisai, a 150-foot square-rigger tall ship. At the time, Lewis, who was the owner of the Union Jack newspaper, was interviewing an Englishwoman who was one of the crew members. Lewis already had an extensive sailing background, including the five years he lived in the Caribbean and sailed up and down the islands. Over the years, he has sailed half-way across the world. Aside from sailing, Lewis loves to fly and earned his glider’s license when he was 14 and his pilot’s license when he was 17. He also loves acting and is known for his roles in Time After Time (1979), Dial M for Murder (1981) and Kidco (1984). When Taylor found out that Lewis sailed, he invited him to join them for the Tall Ship festival in San Diego, then up to San Francisco. “It was soon after he established the American Tall Ship Institute with the Bill of Rights tall ship in the Channel Island harbor, and the reason I moved the L.A. office of the Union Jack to Ventura, the start of a 15-year friendship,” Lewis said. Back to the Cuba sail. Taylor was brought in for the sail at the last minute to take

STUCK

“I flew out to join them in Key West. They had already been stuck there for two weeks with a bunch of students and all the crew,” Lewis remembered. “When I got down there we were supposed to leave the next day.” They were stuck for a total of five weeks in Key West, including the students and crew who ranged in age from 17 to 25 from all around the U.S. “These were brave young people from Washington State to the Bronx, who had challenged the cold weather and stormy seas to sail down the East Coast of America on the Atlantic Ocean,” Lewis said. “And that, I believe, was the reason that by the time they sailed to Key West, the Coast Guard came up with every excuse they could to stop our visit. Good will and Cuba don’t go in the same sentence. Not only us, but every boat

leaving the USA.” Still, the group made the most of it. “We couldn’t get out of Key West; we were stuck there so we went to Dry Tortugas,” Lewis said. “This was a fort that was [used] during the Civil War. It took them 30 years to build it. They imported all the bricks and built a moat around it. Now it’s a tourist attraction, a national park on a reef. We took the kids snorkeling and had our own beach to ourselves.” The group then went north to Pine Keys, which was totally devastated by Hurricane Irma, and helped clean up, working with the Outward Bound School. “We went up to Pine Keys which is where Irma hit very badly, so we volunteered our services to the Outward Bound School and about 30 of us cleaned up the damage and got eaten alive by bugs,” Lewis said. “But what we did was help clean up, and they were so grateful.”

ARRIVAL IN CUBA

Once they finally arrived in Cuba, the group had to stay at Marina Hemingway because there was no dock space available in Havana. “We organized trips to Havana, into the interior of Cuba, and onto Cienfuegos where we finally flew out of, as it was no longer viable to sail around to the Island of Pines, which was our original intention,” Lewis said. Nevertheless, it was the most enjoyable adventure in years, he said. “Nothing but love and warmth from wonderful friendly poor people,” he said. “All reiterating, ‘Tell America we love them.’ ” “They do not like Trump, but neither does Key West — 99

They sailed down the East Coast stopping at various ports, including Washington, D.C., for a civics lesson while meeting their Congress members. The crew was then returning around Cape Hatteras and on to Key West, Florida. Preferring his own crew, Taylor demanded that Lewis stop everything he was doing in Ventura to join them, and that he bring his camera. “I had done all the photos and video for the American Tall Ship Institute sails, so he knew I’d get the shots he wanted,” Lewis recalled. Thinking that they were going to leave the next morning, they arrived in Key West and came to a grinding halt.

percent of people in Key West do not like Trump,” Lewis noted. “I only found one person in Key West, an ex-Marine, out of hundreds of people I spoke to. Other than him, everyone was against this current administration.” One particular incident in Cuba was especially heart-warming. A man with a bicycle was standing on the dock, and saw a crew member on the boat who had a bicycle with a rack attached to the back. “The man on the dock had a little seat on the back of his bicycle — he had children and it was the only way he could get his children on the bike,” Lewis said. “The one thing he wanted was this little rack. This guy had nothing; he would have given up food. You can’t bring things into Cuba, and he couldn’t get the parts for his bicycle that he wanted just for his children.” The crewmember parted with his bike rack. “And I knew this would make this man so happy because he could do something for his children,” Lewis said.

‘THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER’

Looking back on his trip to Cuba, Lewis said he has absolutely no regrets. “I’d do it in a shock tomorrow,” he said. “I would do it again in a second. I’ve sailed halfway across the world. Why would I fear anything?” He was particularly impressed by the young crew members who shared the journey alongside him. “You don’t really know what you’re capable of doing until you give yourself the opportunity to explore what you’re talent is,” he said. “And nine times out of 10, what I saw was the youngsters excelling in something they never thought they could ever do; and it was awe-inspiring.” When people explore the world, especially youngsters, “You get the feeling of other cultures and other people, and experience firsthand how they live and how they are,” he said, “and the warmth and the depth of most nations are ordinary people, just good souls on this planet. We only become divided through politics and through politicians. Seek out the good and leave the rest behind.” For others considering such a trip, “Get out and do it,” he said. “Absolutely take the challenge. I don’t care what age you are. Seek out an organization on tall ships … you’ve gotta show an inclination and join as a dock hand and grow from there. Most people start out as scrubbers, cleaning.” He recommends that “everybody on the planet” should travel the world. “The world is your oyster. The more you travel, the more you realize that everything you see is all propaganda and it’s all biased,” Lewis said. “Get out there and experience life.” With his 75th birthday coming up in April, he added: “Never let age define who you are.” “If you can still put one foot in front of the other, do it with a bit of energy; don’t do it on a cruise ship or as a tourist; go to another country,” Lewis said. “What am I doing at my age? Climbing up the mast.” F

King of Props coming to the Canyon Carrot Top talks comedy, Vegas and developing his original act by Carl Kozlowski

arrot Top has been one of the most distinctive performers in comedy for the past 30 years, a nonstop bundle of wacky energy in constant motion as he tears through trunkloads of props en route to delivering 300 punchlines per hour. Yet despite his trademark orange mop of hair, he’s also a surprisingly quiet and thoughtful guy offstage, a student of comedy who’s deeply appreciative of the life he’s been able to build over 25 years as one of the top acts in Vegas. Playing more than 200 dates a year at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Carrot Top (actual name: Scott Thompson) has managed to hone his comic assault to appeal to audience members from around the globe. He also tours several weeks each year, and he’ll be coming to the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills on Sunday night for a performance that’s sure to make audience members laugh hard at his incredibly silly humor — while often feeling ashamed of themselves for doing so. “The funniest thing is, people ask, ‘How do you have the energy?’ ” says Thompson, as he prepares tea for himself in his impressive backstage man cave. “That’s the easiest part. You have the music pumped up, people laughing, you can’t wait to get on stage. Unless you’re really sick. If they can’t hear you well, it’s a drag for everyone.

— March 22, 2018

My biggest challenge is handling the dry air of Vegas and keeping my voice going. If I ever cancel, it’s because I can’t talk.” Thompson bursts onstage to amped-up rock classics and whips through dozens of props within the first few minutes as extra sight gags flash by on the screen in rapid-fire fashion. He also employs a trick he learned from watching Johnny Carson: playing off a stageside wall throughout the show as if he’s making comments to an unseen audience member. Throughout, he tosses in new props to go with classics like “Hugh Hefner’s walker” (a walker with a giant dildo flopping around from the front) and tells a surprising number of straight-up jokes. He now estimates that he performs up to 20 minutes at the center of each show without any visual aids, a skill he’s developed as he tries to keep his act fresh nearly three decades after his 1992 Vegas debut. “I got my first gig here while doing [Live With] Regis and Kathie Lee in 1992, where I did really well in my first time there,” recalls Thompson. “I was in the green room, and Kathie Lee’s manager asked if I would do a Vegas gig if he got me one. He got me in Bally’s. I did well, and the next week I was on the main stage there.” “There were hundreds of feet of stage; it was like a football field they had to fill,” he continues. “I went to Walmart and bought tables, tapestries and home stuff just to fill the space so it shrunk and wasn’t overwhelming. MGM Casino got me for 10 years after that, and here at the Luxor we’re

at 13 years.” Thompson hated adapting to the Vegas showroom protocols at first, having to teach himself how to work the room and contend with college kids yelling for him to do more pot jokes. But he notes that “Vegas made me feel like an adult, because I’m playing to savvy people from all over, and that teaches you that you can play anywhere ’cause they’re from all over the world and in all different moods.” Thompson notes some of the unexpected aspects of Vegas audiences, saying Midwesterners will audibly gasp over his occasionally saying “fuck” onstage. He doesn’t have as much concern about offending PC audiences as many of his comedic contemporaries, who are suffering through millennial meltdowns over their jokes at colleges nationwide. “You learn the lines of how much you can get away with,” he notes. “You pick on everybody, riff on everybody: gay people, Asians, everybody. It’s fucking comedy. I don’t worry about PC complaints because I don’t push it that far. When I played colleges it was not a concern to be PC, but now it’s like ‘Oh Jesus,’ when I hear these stories, so I move so fast it’s on to something else.” Thompson, 53, is contracted to appear at the Luxor through 2020 and hopes to keep performing until he’s at least 60. He works out his joke-writing muscles on a daily basis, trying to constantly add new jokes and props to his sets because he’s aware that he needs to evolve his show to an almost entirely new hour of material annually in order to appease his many repeat customers. He learned to do that from his good friend Chris Rock, and it’s even more impressive to consider that the new material drops perfectly into the middle of his older material. Considering that he’s been studying comedy since he was a child in Florida, growing up as

the son of a NASA engineer who helped design the lunar vehicle driven on the moon’s surface, the art form is infused in every level of his mind, body and spirit. “I drew my logo in my college dorm room before I even became a comedian,” says Thompson. “My roommate said, ‘But you don’t have an act.’ I was a marketing major, so I was always thinking of the bigger picture. I started going to open mikes at a club in West Palm Beach, just telling jokes I liked from other comedians and slowly telling my own jokes about life in a dorm. The club booker asked me if I could broaden my material so her audiences could relate, and I brought in a Neighborhood Watch sign I stole and joked that they must not be doing a good job. I also had a stolen street sign that said ‘Butts Road’ and said, ‘This must be where the assholes live.’ Those got big laughs and I realized the direction I had to go.” Thompson realized that if 20 props got him through a 15-minute opening-act set, designing 40 props would make him a feature. He threw himself into an inventive rush, and soon was headlining with thousands of props at his disposal. He now keeps them all in a giant warehouse he owns near the Las Vegas Strip. “I’m having more fun than I did at 30,” says Thompson. “Not that I didn’t appreciate it when I was younger, but I feel it more now, that people still come out and I get to do this. You take it for granted when you’re young, then you get older and realize I have so many friends who’d love to have a show. It’s fun and I get to feed off the crowd, and it’s a really cool thing to get to do this for a living.” ✦ Carrot Top performs on Sunday, March 25, at 9 p.m. at the Canyon Club, 28912 Roadside Drive, Agoura Hills.

Lady plays the blues Acclaimed blues guitarist Debbie Davies headlines at Hong Kong Inn by Mike Nelson

ant to be an acclaimed blues guitarist? Watch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan at age 11. Bug your rock ’n’ roll-loathing parents for an electric guitar, but settle for an acoustic and learn it. Fall in love with the music of blues legends. Wait tables until you can afford to buy your first electric. Collect blues records and read every blues magazine article you can find. And don’t worry about little obstacles like being female in a male-dominated arena. Your talent, desire and commitment to excellence will make the difference. Debbie Davies has done all of that, and more, in establishing herself as one of America’s top blues guitarists for three decades. She’s toured and played with giants such as Albert Collins (as the only non-male, non-black member of his band) and John Mayall, who said of her, “Once in a rare while I hear a musician of such talent that I want people to know. Such a one is Debbie Davies.” The San Fernando Valley native will lead her own band on March 23 at the Hong Kong Inn in Ventura. It’s part of the process of “recreating” herself in Southern California where she recently returned, after 23 years based on the East Coast, to care for ailing family members. “I’m still trying to balance out my life,” she smiles, relaxing with coffee at a Camarillo Starbucks. “I’m teaching guitar, I’m doing shows, I’m allowing myself to take things as they come. And so far, so good.” Davies’ musical influences began with her musician parents’ Ray Charles albums, progressed to The Beatles and culminated when she heard Eric Clapton and Cream. “I didn’t know that was blues,” she says. “I only knew that I liked it, and I wanted to do that, to express what Eric was expressing. So I started reading guitar magazines, and in one article Eric cited black American blues as a major influence. So I began collecting B.B. King, and more.” Her father, Allan, was a noted studio vocalist and arranger, regarded as one of the best sightreaders in the country “during a time where everyone could sight-read music,” she says. “For me, my ear was always quicker than my eye.” Since the electric guitar was not an option in her “rather conservative” home, she settled for an acoustic, honing her skills at Taft High in Woodland Hills. At nearby Pierce College, Davies — wanting to do “more improv with blues and jazz” — joined the prestigious Chamber Singers who sang a variety of styles (from classical to rock) and gave her an appreciation for the craft and discipline necessary to excel musically. “Very demanding,” she says, “but a great experience.” At Sonoma State University, she earned a B.A. in psychology, financed by waitressing at the fabled Inn of the Beginning in Cotati, whose roster of performers ranged from rock legends 14 — — March 22, 2018

Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead to blues greats Albert Collins and Etta James. “And in 1974, I saw Bonnie Raitt,” Davies says, smiling at the memory. “That was my real a-ha moment — a killer female singer, playing really neat electric guitar.” She finally purchased her first electric (a 1964 Gibson 330) and spent six hours a day learning the instrument. Eventually, she landed “side” jobs playing in Bay Area clubs for more established artists, and in 1984 became lead guitarist for Maggie Mayall and the Cadillacs, an allfemale band led by John Mayall’s wife. Four years later, Collins hired her for his Icebreakers, and for the next three years she was a featured guitarist for one of the most innovative bluesmen of all time. “I learned so much,” she says. In the mid-1990s, Davies began touring with her own band, recording albums, guesting on others, gathering critical acclaim — and not worrying that she might be, in some people’s minds, a bit of a freak: a female blues guitarist. “Compared to when I got into this business,” she chuckles, “there has been a cultural 180 in accepting female guitarists, although it’s still a struggle.” A bigger problem, for everyone, is the scarcity of live music venues. “Today people have big home entertainment systems and don’t go as much to live performances,” she says ruefully. “Record stores have closed, fewer CDs are sold and the clubs have a harder time. And it’s harder to tour, with gas and motel prices much higher.” She’s also saddened by the music industry’s lavish attention for a relatively few “people at the top,” and its corporate interference with (and control of) the artistic process. “But,” she adds quickly, “that’s never affected the music that I do because I’ve never stepped

nightmoves SURF’S UP Pro-surfer-turned-musician Donavon Frankenreiter performing at Discovery Ventura on Friday, March 16. PHOTO COURTESY OF JOSHUA PEMBERTON

into that pop machine. The thing about blues is that not everyone is sexy and young and cute. People are human; there is an honesty there.” Davies finds that honesty in the local blues scene, having played and recorded with blues buddies Alastair Greene and Deb Ryder. And she’s grateful to have been welcomed at the Hong Kong Inn where “The owners appreciate good blues.” “And you know what? I still love the music business,” Davies adds. “I am a fan of other

artists and I enjoy playing and making music with them. There is real joy in supporting one another, and in the blues genre there are lots of friendships. I’m grateful to be part of that.” ✦ Hi Hat Entertainment presents Debbie Davies with Teresa James on Friday, March 23, at 8 p.m. at the Hong Kong Inn, 435 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura, 278-6478.

7 Days in Entebbe A true-to -life thriller

by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com 7 Days in Entebbe Directed by José Padilha Starring: Rosamund Pike, Daniel Brühl, Eddie Marsan, Lior Ashkenazi Rated PG-13 for violence, some thematic material, drug use, smoking and brief strong language 1 hr. 46 min.

ime creates a prism through which we can more accurately put history into perspective. When events are retold in such a manner, they take on more importance and yield messages that are unmistakable, especially when weighed against the present. If this was the intent of director Jose Padilha in forging a dramatization of 7 Days at Entebbe, he came as close to nailing it as any filmmaker has to date. In June of 1976, two West Germans and two Palestinians hijacked an Air France jet headed from Tel Aviv to Paris. They demanded that it be flown to Entebbe, Uganda, and that the Israeli government free 53 political prisoners. The hijacking and the rescue of its captives was a definitive moment in the fight against terrorism, and a high-water mark in Israeli lore. Utilizing a novel filmmaking approach, 7 Days juxtaposes the impetus of the hijackers, the crime itself, the struggle within the Israeli government on what action to take, and an interpretative dance by the Batsheva Dance Company. The dance scenes, interspersed with the hijacking, the decision-making and the raid, have great power; they symbolize the driving force behind the revolutionaries/terrorists, the anger of the hostages’ families, and an Israeli government torn between negotiation and aggression. The dance literally plays out every aspect of the drama. The West Germans are Wilfried Böse, played by Daniel Brühl (also excellent in The Zookeeper’s Wife) and Brigitte Kuhlman, brought to an agitated, determined boil by Rosamund Pike (Hostiles, Gone Girl). They’re intellectual in their zeal for “revolution by any

means necessary”; old school, in the vein of Leon Trotsky or Che Guevara. Their Palestinian counterparts have more visceral motivations. At one point, after the jet lands in Entebbe and Israeli passengers have been separated from the rest, Böse takes a hysterical woman aside and notices the digits tattooed on her left arm. At that moment, he knows that the impact of what he’s participated in goes beyond his zest for worldwide revolt. This woman is reliving a horror from her past. He, almost reassuringly, touches her arm. Later, a Palestinian assails him, “Are you ready to kill? Are you ready to die?” Pike’s Brigitte is hopped up on speed and almost incapable of such considerations, in the face of the hijacking turned sideways by the sequestration of Israeli passengers. The Palestinians have a willing partner in Uganda’s president, one of history’s all-time unstable despots, Idi Amin Dada (Nonso Anozie), who will do anything, it seems, to bask in attention. In the cigarette smoke-filled Israeli cabinet room, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (Lior Ashkenazi) searches for a response that would neither give in to the hostage takers nor endanger Israeli lives. Defense Minister Shimon Peres, played by veteran British actor Eddie Marsan, is steadfast, almost sneering, in his demand for immediate action. By the time a decision is made, the Israeli commandos had already practiced the rescue. What ensued was the greatest strike against an act of terror the world had seen. The leader of the raid, Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu (played in the film by Angel Bonanni), was killed during the raid. His brother, Benjamin, is the current prime minister of Israel. Entebbe is but a chapter in the latticework of pain that has formed in the Middle East. At the movie’s end, among the threads that remain loose: The pursuit of peace is dormant, the price of that peace too much for either side to stomach. 7 Days in Entebbe is thrilling, suspenseful and creatively directed by Padihla. As is the case with any movie, nits can be picked, but forget them. The themes and messages of this film outweigh anything that would keep you ♦ from enjoying it.

All about the grapes by Michael Cervin Rancho Ventavo Cellars 741 S. A St., Oxnard 483-8084 ranchoventavo.com

Sakura Ojai is rocking with the rolls and fried and steam gyoza, plus miso glazed salmon collar too.

Balancing rich, simple and complex in Ojai by Dane Edmondson Sakura Ojai 219 E. Matilija St., Ojai 646-8777 $3.50-$30

here are many outstanding ancient Asian proverbs, from Confucius all the way down to fortune cookie philosophy (even if the latter was conceptualized in San Francisco). Two of my favorites happen to hail from Japanese culture; “A fish gets bigger when it swims away” and “Never order sushi in the desert.” OK, that second one I made up, but it sticks all the same. That is, unless you happen to wander in to Ojai’s little Ginsu slice of Okinawa known as Sakura, a first-rate sushi and teppanyaki haven. Tucked away just behind the main drag on East Matilija Street, this cozy habitat is a balanced dichotomy of traditional and new school. The menu features a bevy of the usual suspects: tempura, edamame and most people’s “first,” the ever-nostalgic California roll. As comfortingly delicious as these items are, when I stroll into a sushi joint it’s with a lust to venture deeper in to the folds of fusion flavor, and if you are an adventurous diner like me then Sakura has us all covered.

As I bellied up to the bar, a prime location for food gazing and service, the first stop on the menu happened to be the last; and to quote one of my favorite spy characters from the ’90s, “Sake to me baby, yeah!” I am an advocate for most of the varieties, but the mood felt right for unfiltered nigori. Adding a Sapporo pint to the festivities as well, it was now time to scout the specials, which are consistently original and phenomenal. Spotting the salmon collar (what I like to call the “ribs” of the fish), my tummy tickled at the thought of this relatively uncommon offering. Roasted and finished with a miso glaze, this delicacy is an ideal way to kick-start the palate, bringing a rich and buttery flavor to the taste buds. I paired this with an order of my guilty pleasure favorite, steamed AND fried gyoza. After these were joyously consumed it was time for the headliners. Sushi is meant to be an experience and not just an on-the-go endeavor. That’s why it usually takes longer to arrive; the master chefs are not just throwing a chunk of meat in the pan and flipping it. They take the careful time to respect the art of plate presentation, and this is especially true of Sakura’s fantastical rolls and sashimi. I chose to start with the chef’s recommendation of yellowtail sashimi, spicy albacore miso roll and the aptly named Ojai roll. The first offering was the yel-

lowtail and it was divine, so fresh that I could detect a hint of saltwater through the light drizzle of soy sauce and dollop of wasabi. A neartransparent slice of pickled ginger to clear the palate and it was on to the next. The spicy albacore miso roll was simple yet complex in flavor amalgamation, boasting the decadent richness of the sweet albacore crossed with the salt and spice from the unique miso sauce. The third featured item, the Ojai roll, was a flavor melee of the best kind as tuna, salmon, halibut and avocado shared the quaint blanket of rice in a flashfried frenzy. Several homemade sauces drizzled over the top made each piece pop with personality. Though the end result of the adventure was a belly full of content capacity, there was one secret dessert item left that was the end-all, tempura cheesecake. And yes, it’s as good as it sounds. For those who are more turf than surf, Sakura offers a classic teppanyaki station, complete with Benihana-esque showmanship. An array of traditional Japanese udon noodle bowls are available as well for those chilly nights when only soup will suffice. So pick up some chopsticks, break them in half and try not to leave most of the deliciousness in the soy sauce bowl, I promise your visit to Sakura to be a truly effusive experience. ♦

hen owners George Gilpatrick and Faye Hawes started Rancho Ventavo Cellars they decided to make only red wines. I asked Hawes if she feels that she loses some customers because they don’t offer white wines. “We thought, let’s start with just reds and see how many complaints we get,” she says with a slight twinkle in her eye. As you can surmise, they don’t get many complaints. They started their 1,500-case winery 13 years ago. Gilpatrick makes the wine and Hawes sells it. A visit to their tasting room, a historic 1902 Craftsman located in Heritage Square in downtown Oxnard, is like visiting with neighbors; everyone seems to know everyone else and you’re always welcome to join the conversation. The tasting room is quintessential Craftsman bungalow with hardwood floors, green tin pressed ceilings, and wood built-ins equaling a beautiful display of artisan homebuilding. The choice to make this their tasting room was an easy one. “I didn’t want to be in an industrial park or shopping mall,” Faye says. “We knew

opening here, it would take time for L.A. people to find Ventura, but they have.” They buy grapes from mainly Santa Barbara but also Paso Robles, Lodi, even Amador in the Sierra Foothills. “We go where the good grapes are grown,” says Hawes. “It’s all about the grapes,” she insists. The proof of that is that their wines reflect these regions where they are getting excellent fruit. Though they don’t offer food, you are welcome to bring cheese and crackers or order a pizza from a nearby restaurant. Dogs are also welcome. Taste at the small bar or in the adjoining room where you can sit at tables and relax and enjoy a glass. Bottle prices range from $26 to $36 and a glass of wine is $10. The wines show a maturity that hopefully will surprise you. They are open for tastings Friday through Sunday from noon until 5 p.m. and offer monthly case specials. Tasting well currently are their 2010 mourvèdre ($34), aged in barrels for two years, full of blackberry, boysenberry and a lithe near-anise back note, brambly and rugged. The 2011 Essa ($28) is their take on a cabernet sauvignon/syrah blend and it offers great acidity with noticeable blackberry and blueberry compote, firm tannins and a lengthy finish. The 2009 cabernet franc ($32) is a smooth velvety wine with bright acidity, boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry notes. ♦

until they come clean and express remorse to the person they hurt. It isn’t just men who do the disappearo thing; it’s anyone low on conscientiousness. The problem is, when love appears to be on the horizon, we want to believe more than we want to see. It’s helpful to take an almost pessimistic approach to any new relationship: Assume a man has flaws; figure out what they are; and decide whether any are deal breakers. This takes observing his behavior over time (at least a year) in a variety of situations — especially crisis situations. You want to know that when the chips are down, a man’ll have your back — and not just to use you as a human shield so the SWAT team snipers won’t pick him off.

You’d think you wouldn’t have to give a man who loves you a detailed list of instructions for photographing you — down to “immediately erase any shots in which I look like I’m having a seizure or bear a strong resemblance to a surprised goat.” In fact, you are far from alone in complaining that the man you love takes terrible pictures of you — or in worrying that it means something. However, this worry of yours probably comes out of what I call our mind’s neatfreakitude. Research by cognitive neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga suggests we get so itchy over mental chaos — being in a state of uncertainty about someone or something — that we’re quick to sweep aside inconsistencies (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights and ignore missing information in reserved.

Apologizing takes emotional strength and character strength. Shudder Speed Every photo my boyfriend takes of me is horrific (one eye kind of shut, bad angle of my face, etc.).

Because men evolved to prioritize physical attractiveness in women and women coevolved to expect this, women are extremely sensitive to being photographed in ways that don’t show them off at their sparkliest. That’s probably why, if you glance at various 20-something women’s Instagram pages, you’ll see that many strike the very same pose in photo after photo (having figured out their exact best angle, to the micrometer). Sure, some men are as acutely sensitive about engineering their perfect pose — mostly those whose work attire is a sequined evening dress, a ginormous feather boa, and chandelier earrings the size of New Jersey.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

The “School of Hard Knocks” is an old-fashioned idiom referring to the unofficial and accidental course of study available via life’s tough experiences. The wisdom one gains through this alternate approach to education may be equal or even superior to the knowledge that comes from a formal university or training program. I mention this, Aries, because in accordance with astrological omens, I want to confer upon you a diploma for your new advanced degree from the School of Hard Knocks. (P.S.: When PhD students get their degrees from Finland’s University of Helsinki, they are given top hats and swords as well as diplomas. I suggest you reward yourself with exotic props, too.)

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Europeans used to think that all swans were white. It was a reasonable certainty given the fact that all swans in Europe were that color. But in 1697, Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh and his sailors made a pioneering foray to the southwestern coast of the land we now call Australia. As they sailed up a river the indigenous tribe called Derbarl Yerrigan, they spied black swans. They were shocked. The anomalous creatures invalidated an assumption based on centuries of observations. Today, a “black swan” is a metaphor referring to an unexpected event that contravenes prevailing theories about the way the world works. I suspect you’ll soon experience such an incongruity yourself. It might be a good thing! Especially if you welcome it instead of resisting it.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Crayola is one of the world’s foremost crayon manufacturers. The geniuses in charge of naming its crayon colors are playful and imaginative. Among the company’s standard offerings, for example, are Pink Sherbet, Carnation Pink, Tickle Me Pink,

Piggy Pink, Pink Flamingo and Shocking Pink. Oddly, however, there is no color that’s simply called “Pink.” I find that a bit disturbing. As much as I love extravagant creativity and poetic whimsy, I think it’s also important to cherish and nurture the basics. In accordance with the astrological omens, that’s my advice for you in the coming weeks. Experiment with fanciful fun, but not at the expense of the fundamentals.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

According to Vice magazine, Russian scientist Anatoli Brouchkov is pleased with the experiment he tried. He injected himself with 3.5-millionyear-old bacteria that his colleagues had dug out of the permafrost in Siberia. The infusion of this ancient life form, he says, enhanced his energy and strengthened his immune system. I can’t vouch for the veracity of his claim, but I do know this: It’s an apt metaphor for possibilities you could take advantage of in the near future: drawing on an old resource to boost your power, for example, or calling on a well-preserved part of the past to supercharge the present.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Booze has played a crucial role in the development of civilization, says biomolecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern. The process of creating this mind-altering staple was independently discovered by many different cultures, usually before they invented writing. The buzz it provides has “fired our creativity and fostered the development of language, the arts, and religion.” On the downside, excessive consumption of alcohol has led to millions of bad decisions and has wrecked countless lives. Everything I just said is a preface to my main message, Leo: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to transform your habitual perspective, but only

if you do so safely and constructively. Whether you choose to try intoxicants, wild adventures, exhilarating travel, or edgy experiments, know your limits.

bling respite from mundane reality!

SAGITTARIUS

The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be favorable for making agreements, pondering mergers, and strengthening bonds. You’ll be wise to deepen at least one of your commitments. You’ll stir up interesting challenges if you consider the possibility of entering into more disciplined and dynamic unions with worthy partners. Do you trust your own perceptions and insights to guide you toward ever-healthier alliances? Do what you must to muster that trust.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence,” wrote philosopher Erich Fromm. I would add a corollary for your rigorous use during the last nine months of 2018: “Love is the only effective and practical way to graduate from your ragged, long-running dilemmas and start gathering a new crop of fresh, rousing challenges.” By the way, Fromm said love is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling in our hearts. It’s a creative force that fuels our willpower and unlocks hidden resources.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

If you want people to know who you really are and savor you for your unique beauty, you must be honest with those people. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy. There’s a similar principle at work if you want to know who you really are and savor yourself for your unique beauty: You must be honest with yourself. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to practice these high arts.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Your journey in the coming weeks may be as weird as an R-rated telenovela, but with more class. Outlandish, unpredictable, and even surreal events could occur, but in such a way as to uplift and educate your soul. Labyrinthine plot twists will be medicinal as well as entertaining. As the drama gets curioser and curioser, my dear Scorpio, I expect you will learn how to capitalize on the odd opportunities it brings. In the end, you will be grateful for this enno-

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

My goal here is to convince you to embark on an orgy of self-care — to be as sweet and tender and nurturing to yourself as you dare to be. If that influences you to go too far in providing yourself with luxurious necessities, I’m OK with it. And if your solicitous efforts to focus o…n your own health and well-being make you appear a bit self-indulgent or narcissistic, I think it’s an acceptable price to pay. Here are more key themes for you in the coming weeks: basking in the glow of self-love; exulting in the perks of your sanctuary; honoring the vulnerabilities that make you interesting.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

One day, Beatles’ guitarist George Harrison decided to compose his next song’s lyrics “based on the first thing I saw upon opening any book.” He viewed this as a divinatory experiment, as a quest to incorporate the flow of coincidence into his creative process. The words he found in the first book were “gently weeps.” They became the seed for his tune “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Rolling Stone

magazine ultimately named it one of “The Greatest Songs of All Time” and the tenth best Beatle song. In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend you try some divinatory experiments of your own in the coming weeks. Use life’s fun little synchronicities to generate playful clues and unexpected guidance.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Millions of you Pisceans live in a fairy tale world. But I suspect that very few of you will be able to read this horoscope and remain completely ensconced in your fairy tale world. That’s because I have embedded subliminal codes in these words that will at least temporarily transform even the dreamiest among you into passionate pragmatists in service to your feistiest ideals. If you’ve read this far, you are already feeling more disciplined and organized. Soon you’ll be coming up with new schemes about how to actually materialize a favorite fairy tale in the form of real-life experiences. Homework: Imagine a bedtime story you’d like to hear and the person you’d like to hear it from. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

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.

Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $536,164.12 (Estimated).

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
