OPINION Editorial

Less talk, more action

T

wo controversial subjects have come up in the last couple of weeks on the agendas for the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. On March 27, the supervisors discussed reducing public comment from five minutes to three minutes. Then, on April 10, Supervisors Peter Foy, District 4, and Kelly Long, District 3, proposed to eliminate the right to administratively appeal the issuance of zoning clearances. In the technical jargon of this bureaucratic speak, Foy’s and Long’s proposal would effectively cut off interested parties from appealing projects they don’t agree with. While not specific to oil projects, if passed, environmental groups in particular would have no way to appeal decisions that they feel haven’t been properly vetted or that they just believe were wrong for any reason.

With regard to limiting public comment to three minutes, it’s a curious case indeed when passionate people have to figure out a way to be concise and direct with their concerns. While the supervisors did not choose to limit public comment, it’s important for the public at large to understand that it’s not always what is said that matters, but rather that more people speak up together who share a particular opinion.

There is power in numbers, not necessarily in longer arguments. For the time being, perhaps the public should figure out how to limit public comments so that more have a say, rather than so that fewer have longer to speak.

Letters Instrument of death Re: Not a solution letter dated 29 March 2018.

Mr. Berk compares gun deaths in the United States to those in Japan. “According to the CDC, there were 33,636 deaths due to firearms in 2013” (IN THE UNITED STATES) while Japan sees ten or fewer. We all must agree that the rates are much higher in the U.S., as are the quantity of gun owners.

But now let’s look at another killer here in the U.S. and compare that to other highly developed countries. More people die in car crashes each year in the United States than in any other high-income country according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the CDC, in 2013, more than 32,000 people died on U.S. roads, roughly 90 fatalities per day.

The U.S. has seen a 31 percent reduction in its motor vehicle death rate per capita over the past 13 years. But compared with 19 other wealthy countries, which have declined an average of 56 percent during the same period, the U.S. has the

As for excluding the right to appeal the issuance of zoning clearances, Foy and Long argued that the exponential costs to address appeals outweigh the benefits in reversing decisions. While a fair argument to those interested in cutting down taxpayer spending by eliminating staff time spent on addressing those issues, the whole premise of discontinuing discourse over controversial projects, particularly when it comes to oil expansion and development, seems to be short-sighted. Foy, who was the chair of the California chapter for Americans for Prosperity, an organization founded and funded by oil billionaires the Koch brothers, and Long, who received more than $150,000 from the oil industry for her campaign for supervisor in 2016, took a practically predictable route in trying to silence concerned parties. Foy and Long withdrew their proposal last week after receiving significant pushback and resistance from the public and organizations that would lose their footing in a reasonable fight to resist problematic projects.

When it comes to the public getting involved in the way their government runs and how elected officials represent constituents — transparency, discussion and input from more people should always be the standard. Though it can be difficult to wade through bureaucratic language, partaking in the process beyond voting day can be empowering, and elected officials should not attempt to limit it.

slowest decrease. [Road death rates in countries such as Spain and Denmark have dropped 75.1 percent and 63.5 percent, respectively.] If the United States had reduced its death rate to the average of other countries, 18,000 more lives would have been saved, according to the CDC report.

According to these 2013 statistics (chosen to match the statistic cited by Mr. Berk), the automobile appears to be almost as deadly as the firearm. Mr. Berk claims, “More guns ALWAYS lead to more deaths whether they be accidental or intentional. A child’s or adult’s right to live life is profoundly more important than any person’s right to own deadly weapons.” Are not automobiles also a source of death? True, the automobile was not designed to be a killer but, as we see by the statistics, it often is — just about as much as the gun. The automobile certainly appears to be a pretty efficient instrument of death. Although private ownership and operation of an automobile are not covered by the Constitution, should we consider limiting ownership/operation of the automobile? Both the automobile and gun take lives when used carelessly or maliciously.

Should a child’s or adult’s right to live life be less important than another person’s right to

own and operate an automobile?

Don’t get me wrong. It’s horrible when people use a gun to take another person’s life.

However, guns aren’t the only instruments — consider automobiles, drugs, etc., also.

Raptors return to nature

Thanks for the article about “returning raptors” after the Thomas Fire (March 29 cover feature). We’ve got suburban bird feeders in our backyard and we’ve noticed in the last few weeks that we’re seeing many more hawks visiting the yard, presumably looking for prey species. This has been noticeable for at least a few weeks at this point. We’ve also noticed that crows are chasing the hawks that visit the smaller perching bird (e.g., finches, sparrows) feeding area and they make considerable noise when they’re doing so. It appears that the predators are taking advantage of these backyard feeding stations to locate prey.

Leadership vacuum Search for city managers for Oxnard, Ventura underway

by Michel Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

T

hree city managers in Ventura County announced their exits in 2017, starting with retirements in Ventura and Moorpark, followed by a resignation in Oxnard. While all have since left their positions, only one city has hired a new city manager.

VENTURA

In July 2017, Ventura City Manager Mark Watkins announced that he would retire by early December after serving in the position since March 2013.

His salary and benefits were just over $300,000 for 2016. On Dec. 2 and 3, the Ventura City Council was wrapping up interviews at City Hall with a handful of the city manager finalists and had selected a candidate and offered the job. The next day, Monday, Dec. 4, the Thomas Fire engulfed the Ventura hillsides. That was also the same day that longtime City Councilman and then-Deputy Mayor Neal Andrews, 74, took over as mayor, on schedule, from Erik Nasarenko. Andrews stint as mayor is only for one year because of the change to even-year elections. Within a couple of days, Andrews came down with double pneumonia.

“I went downtown the day after the fire; I couldn’t breathe; I had to leave downtown,” said Andrews, who has had chronic lung problems for much of his life. “I couldn’t even be in the Midtown area; I was able to hole up on the east side. Even so, it just got to me.”

From Dec. 4 through the next couple of months, the City Council and its leadership were in a declared emergency status and the city manager finalist out of Oregon opted out of the position. The name of that candidate was not disclosed.

“A final choice was made, an offer was made, we hoped that the offer would be accepted, the fire happened, and the individual withdrew for reasons that had nothing to do with us or our job, except for the fire,” Andrews said.

The search and selection of the new city manager took a backseat to the aftermath of the Thomas Fire.

“It went from the top item to being nine or 10,” Councilman Nasarenko said. “Identifying when people could get back to homes in the aftermath of something unfathomable” became the focus.

Interim City Manager Dan Paranick, former assistant manager to Watkins, took the reins as the city went into a semi-quasi triage mode, hosting thousands of firefighters at the fairgrounds, working with homeowners who lost their houses and others who had been displaced, plus getting state and federal officials situated to help residents. Even the city manager of Santa Rosa, whose city had endured the loss of thousands of homes to wildfire, came to discuss with officials what they should be prepared for.

“Having Dan, who knows the city and is familiar with employees and their work, was a big asset,” Nasarenko said. “We needed someone who could build a bridge from the last city manager and [help navigate] us with federal and state funding issues, and he has done an exceptional job.”

With the onset of the fire more than four months behind the city of Ventura, both Andrews and Nasarenko agreed that now is a good time to start the search again for a new city manager.

“The fact is, we have started placing greater emphasis on this,” Andrews said. “We renewed the search; that tells you people believe we can refocus

6—

— April 19, 2018

our energy.”

The recruiter who had brought the first round of finalists to the city, however, will not be used again for the new search and selection process. Andrews did indicate that he is mindful of new district elections in November and that they might cause concern to candidates who will have new bosses and the city would be represented differently, but that the search must go on.

Nasarenko talked about the selection process, given that he was mayor at the time that the original search began last year.

“I think it is a wide net; we hope to capture within and without the institution [of Ventura City Hall],” Nasarenko said. “I am a big believer in having options and choices for more viable candidates.”

City of Ventura Human Resources Director Elizabeth Foushee said that interested parties could contact her for more information.

“Candidates can certainly reach out to the human resources office at City Hall,” she wrote in an email.

“The City Council will soon be selecting a recruiter to reopen the city manager recruitment. Once we have a recruiter, candidates will be encouraged to contact the recruiter directly.”

Foushee is available at efoushee@cityofventura. ca.gov.

MOORPARK

In August 2017, Moorpark City Manager Steve Kueny announced that he would retire in March after serving in the position for over 30 years and being the city’s only top manager since the city was incorporated in 1984. His salary and benefits were just under $240,000 for 2016. On Feb. 7, Moorpark City Council selected Troy Brown, who served as the city manager of Tracy in San Joaquin County from 2014 to September 2017, when Tracy City Council voted 3-2 to terminate his contract but did not discuss the reasons for that decision. Brown comes to Moorpark with more than 24 years of municipal experience, including serving as assistant city manager in Livermore, plus working as the assistant to city managers of Elk Grove and Riverside. Brown’s annual salary is $206,336, not including benefits.

“I have enjoyed my first month in the city,” Brown wrote in an email. “It’s been very active, nonetheless I recently purchased a home in the city, have attended numerous meetings and events, and hosted a series of meet and greets to get to know residents and business leaders.”

OXNARD

In December 2017, Oxnard City Manager Greg Nyhoff tendered his resignation, official on Jan. 5, after serving since June 2014. His salary and benefits were $316,622 for 2016. Nyhoff came to the city of Oxnard after the City Council placed longtime City Manager Edmund Sotelo on paid leave until his contract expired in February 2013. Sotelo then pursued a lawsuit against the city for retaliation and wrongful termination, but lost the case in court in 2015. Under Sotelo’s watch, Oxnard City Hall came under investigation in 2010 by the Ventura County District Attorney’s office for financial mismanagement and Sotelo had faced scrutiny for not reporting gifts from companies that the city did business with and for loans Sotelo took from the city. According to Transparent California,

In Brief AREA HOMELESS POPULATION UP, FUNDS AVAILABLE TO HOMELESS VETERANS

A nearly 13 percent jump in the county homeless population is a symptom of at-capacity service providers, say officials.

The annual homeless count found 1,299 men, women and children living in shelters, parks and other spots in the county, an increase from 1,152 in 2017.

The numbers reflect a new tactic in the homeless count, which employed the use of social service providers joining law enforcement officials to count individuals living in the Santa Clara and Ventura riverbeds.

Most cities in the county saw an increase in the homeless population, with the exception of Moorpark, Oxnard and Thousand Oaks, which all saw decreases.

Ventura saw the biggest increase due in part to the city hosting the winter warming shelter, which alternates between Ventura and Oxnard. Oxnard saw the secondhighest population.

Meanwhile, Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, announced on Friday, April 13, that nearly $329,000 in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program has been procured to help homeless veterans living in Ventura County find permanent housing.

The Area Housing Authority of the County of Ventura will receive $97,781, and the Housing Authority, City of San Buenaventura, will receive $231,180 as part of the HUD-VASH program.

“Even with the funds to assist with monthly rent, the challenge is locating private landlords with available rental units willing to participate,” said Michael Nigh, Executive Director of the Area Housing Authority of the County of Ventura. “Our goal is to work with the Oxnard and San Buenaventura housing authorities, the Veterans Administration, the landlord community and the Ventura County Continuum of Care to best serve our local veterans with these vouchers.”

COUNTY SUPERVISORS PRESENT EARTH DAY AWARDS

Five environmental champions from Ventura County have been honored by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, April 17, for their green efforts.

Each supervisor chose a recipient from his or her district.

Supervisor Steve Bennet, District 1, selected The Thacher School for being a leader in “sustainable practices” and for preparingits students to “take action … and act as lifelong stewards of the planet,” also noting its achievements, which include generating 95 percent of the school’s energy from a recently installed 745-kilowatt solar array and “completion of a horse manure and food waste composting facility, eliminating the trucking off campus of 1,200 tons of manure and instead composting it on-site for use as mulch.”

Supervisor Linda Parks, District 2, selected the Ventura County Watershed

Protection District’s Raptor Pilot Study, which found natural alternatives to using anticoagulant rodenticides in the watershed, which can poison area wildlife.

Supervisor Kelly Long, District 3, chose the Hedrick Ranch Nature Area Restoration Project, which “stabilized approximately 1,000 linear feet of stream bank, removed invasive plant species and re-established native riparian vegetation on approximately 16 acres of land,” under the stewardship of the Friends of the Santa Clara River.

Supervisor Peter Foy, District 4, highlighted the Rustic Canyon Golf Course’s Water Reclamation Project, a partnership of the golf course with various state and local agencies, “to install a recycled water pipeline and booster pump station that deliver over 135 million gallons of recycled water from the reclamation facility to the golf course and other customers.”

Supervisor John Zaragoza, District 5, chose the Wishtoyo Chumash Foundation, pointing out the Foundation’s recent “White Paper, Agritoxins: Ventura County’s Toxic Time Bomb” report on occupational health hazards for the county’s migrant workers.

SHERIFF BUSTS ILLEGAL MARIJUANA OPERATION IN CAMARILLO

Operators of a marijuana cultivating scheme in Camarillo can expect high time in county jail after the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department on March 22 busted the crew in an industrial area of the city.

The West County Street Narcotics team were alerted to a possible commercial cultivation operation at the 800 block of Calle Plano after the Ventura County Fire Department and Camarillo Police deputies responded to a false fire alarm.

The operation was described as “sophisticated,” deputies seizing 700 plants. The building was then red-tagged, deemed unsafe due to alterations that appeared to have been made to ready the location for the growing operation.

Suspects have been identified but no arrests have yet been made.

Also, on April 12, detectives and members of the traffic unit with the Ventura Police Department served search and arrest warrants at 5755 Valentine Road, an illegal medical marijuana dispensary dubbed Canna Nuts.

With the passage of Proposition 64, titled “The Adult Use of Marijuana Act”, possession and use of recreational marijuana became legal in California for people over 21-years-old beginning January of 2018. The proprietor of the business, Janice Stabile, however, did not have a state license through the Bureau of Cannabis Control or a city business license. The commercial sale of marijuana remains illegal within the Ventura city limits in accordance to municipal laws.

Detectives, which also searched her house, seized over four pounds of marijuana, two firearms, and approximately $128,000 in cash. Stabile was booked at the Ventura County Jail.

“We are together the duly elected defend- KEVIN DE LÉON ers of the American Dream, and we are Donald Trump’s worst nightmare,” said de Léon, who is running against incumbent U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein for her seat.

De Léon pointed to some of California’s state laws and policies as examples of the reforms he DIANE FEINSTEIN wants to make in Washington.

“We have the strongest gun laws the nation — you don’t need a magazine clip of 100, 40, 30

or 20 bullets,” de Léon said. “These are weapons of mass destruction.”

De Léon also noted California’s controversial sanctuary law, which he said “makes sure our local police protect and serve, not act as an extension of the federal government” and its energy policies.

“By 2030, half of our power will be generated by wind; that’s statutory law,” de Léon said, touching JULIA BROWNLEY on one of the things he says he will work on if he’s elected to the U.S. Senate, climate change legislation.

“It’s time to export California values to Washington, not the other way around,” de Léon concluded.

After finishing his speech, de Léon named BETTY YEE his three top priorities if he’s elected to the Senate: climate change, immigration reform and health care reform.

The state Senate leader believes that clean

energy would produce 500,000 jobs, “ten times more than the coal mining jobs,” de Léon said.

Health care reform following the Medicarefor-all model is another priority, because “we need to rebuild the broken-down healthcare system.”

De Léon said his third priority would be immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for “dreamers,” children of undocumented immigrants who are themselves in danger of being deported.

“We’ve got to get this issue off the table once and for all,” said de Léon, adding that a bill might include something like California’s law allowing driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants.

De Léon followed 24th District Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, who talked about Democrats possibly getting control of the House of Representatives after November’s midterm election.

“A blue wave has emerged; in my opinion, it is irreversibly strong, but we need to make sure it is a blue tsunami,” Brownley said, warning that California “is a critical battleground state in 2018.”

Brownley said that Trump administration officials might try to undercount California residents in the 2020 census to reduce the number of seats California has in the House.

But Brownley was confident that voter reaction to Trump administration policies would help Democrats win most of the seats in the

Smaller Earth Day events need early support

by David Goldstein

E

arth Day is April 22, which is a Sunday this year, making events convenient for attendees who work or go to school. Small-scale events are scheduled for that day, but as is typical in Ventura County, organizers of the largest events scheduled their celebrations throughout the month, encouraging local residents to attend more than one Earth Day commemoration.

The county’s largest festivals will be in Oxnard (April 14, Downtown Plaza Park, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), Ventura (April 21, Plaza Park, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), and Ojai (April 21, Libbey Park, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

Normally, Thousand Oaks Arbor/Earth Day is also one of the largest festivals, but this year, the city is trying something different. As its website (www.toaks.org/gogreen ) says, “to better engage with our residents,” it is organizing a series of “in-depth engagement and education” opportunities throughout the month, culminating in workshops, lectures, an EcoHero show, a Master Gardener Plant Sale and an opportunity to create art from discarded material on April 28, at the Grant Brimhall Library, 1401 Janss Road, starting at 9 a.m.

You may see advertisements, posters, email or social media outreach for these events, but you are less likely to see promotional material for smaller local opportunities to celebrate Earth Day. The city of Fillmore’s Earth Day festival, April 22,

House.

“Eighty seats are competitive, and we only need 24” to gain a majority, Brownley noted.

After her speech Brownley said that she has been working on legislation focused on women’s issues, such as in-vitro fertilization, and noted that President Trump recently signed her bill to help Oxnard veteran John Canley get the Medal of Honor.

Without criticizing Trump’s use of force against Syria on Friday, Brownley said that she thinks it’s time to redefine when and how the president can act without talking to Congress.

“We’ve been saying we need a new authorized use of military force agreement because the current one was very much focused on Iraq and terrorists in general,” Brownley said.

State Controller Betty Yee, D, also spoke, telling the audience that she was thrilled to see so much new activism and criticism of the status quo but emphasizing civility.

“Respect must remain the underpinning of all discourse,” Yee said. “Otherwise, how different are we from the other side?”

Ventura County Democratic Party Chair John Griffin began the fundraiser by telling the 210 people who attended that recent county voter registration figures showed 18-to-24-year-olds are largely identifying themselves as Democrats.

The breakdown is 43 percent Democrat and 19 percent Republican with 38 percent declin✦ ing to state a preference, Griffin said.

11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fillmore’s Central Park, 250 Central Ave., will include some of the same organizations staffing booths at the larger events. With smaller crowds in Fillmore, however, attendees may have more opportunity for conversations and educational opportunities. The city needs more booths, and you can arrange for yours by contacting Aduque@ci.fillmore. ca.us or calling 805-524-1500, ext. 241.

Another less publicized event will be a cleanup at Bottle Village, in Simi Valley. Over many years, “Grandma Prisbrey” built walls, walkways and structures with used glass bottles and concrete, but the site was heavily damaged in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Today, the remnants of Bottle Village still stand as a folk art tribute to reuse, but cleanup is needed, so volunteers who call ahead (at 805-501-1929) are welcome 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 22.

Volunteers are also needed in Ventura on April 22, to plant trees along Ventura Avenue. Restore Ventura will plant cityapproved trees, starting at their garden site, 572 N. Ventura Ave., at 9 a.m. Before the event, more sponsors are needed to pay for trees and maintenance. To sponsor, go to https:// restore.webconnex.com/donate, and select “ventura” under “giving options,” then “street trees” under “comments.”

Nyhoff took on many challenges, including trying to improve an antiquated accounting system that left the city vulnerable to the 2010-12 investigation and working with residents who did not agree with rate increases for public utilities, especially a wastewater rate increase that led to the passing of Measure M to reverse it. The court put a stay on Measure M, preventing the reversal. Nyhoff resigned on Dec. 12 after receiving an offer for the city manager position in Vallejo, California, just as the county was verifying signatures to approve a recall special election of four out of five City Council members who initially voted for a new wastewater increase. Even with the recall election on the horizon, on May 1, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said that the search for a new city manager is underway, even though the current City Council may not be there when the final choice is made. In addition, Oxnard switches to district elections this November.

“It is proceeding, invitations are out, people are interested,” Ramirez said. “There is a lot of interest locally and statewide, regionally. Recruiting looks at résumés and ranks experience and skills and background, not limited to city manager experience but relevant experience.”

The application deadline for consideration is May 2. Police Chief Scott Whitney is currently serving as interim city manager. Ramirez noted that Whitney wants to remain as police chief.

“I hope we get some good candidates,” Ramirez said.

“Oxnard is in a period of challenges. … The process has to keep going. “ For more information about applying, go to wbcp.applicantpool.com/jobs/224952.html. ✦

STORY

Experts, officials debate water supply in Western Ventura County

BY KIT STOLZ

O

n the last day of February this year, the meeting room at Casitas Municipal Water District in Oak View was filled to capacity, with dozens of residents and local officials buzzing in anticipation of a new proposal — dubbed the “Three Sisters” plan — to be offered to connect Lake Casitas with the State Water Project.

If implemented, this would be the first time in the history of the region that Ojai — and Casitas which supplies the town and the west side of Ventura with water from outside of Ventura County — has moved to connect its water supply to the rest of California.

Lake Casitas, a reservoir that collects rain and snow from a mountainous watershed well over 200 miles square, supplies approximately 67,000 farmers and residents in Ojai and western Ventura with water. Since the recent drought took hold in 2012 in Ventura County, and became “extreme” in 2016, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, water levels in aquifers and in the reservoir have fallen rapidly. Despite conservation efforts by farmers and residents over the last four years, the lake has fallen to just over one-third of capacity. Water levels in the aquifers of the Ojai Basin, from which farmers pump water for their citrus orchards, are at their lowest levels since 1964, according to the latest report available from the Ojai Basin Groundwater Management Agency. Growers, realtors, businesses, elected officials and citizens in Ojai repeatedly express alarm about the prospect of running dry.

The banter in the Casitas meeting room that afternoon focused on world news headlines about the ominous “Day Zero” in Cape Town, South Africa. Water levels in the principal reservoir for that city of 4 million people had fallen to a mere 13 percent of capacity, and residents’ taps had been turned off.

Steve Wickstrum, the general manager of Casitas, began the meeting by dismissing the comparison.

“This is not Cape Town,” he said. “We are not within a few months of running out of water. At our current reduced rate of consumption we have more than five years of capacity.”

The citizens and water experts in the room were not reassured. For over 200 years western Ventura and the Ojai Valley have been entirely dependent on local water —unlike other

major watersheds in Southern California. The communities supported by the Ventura River watershed are the last in Southern California to be 100 percent dependent on local water, according to a 2012 study on sustainability in the region by a team of graduate students from the Bren School at UCSB. Although the rains of the winter of 2016-2017 filled reservoirs around the state of California, they barely nudged the water levels in Lake Casitas upward. Multiple atmospheric river storms in Southern California in the aftermath of the Thomas Fire brought downpours that devastated Montecito but still totaled only about half an average winter’s worth of rain. Today the vast southern half of California ranges from “abnormally dry” to “extreme drought,” according to the Drought Monitor. After approximately 11 inches of rain, Western Ventura County is considered to be in a “severe drought.”

For Angelo Spandrio, a Berkeley-educated engineer and Ojai resident who has set out to educate himself on all things related to water in Ojai, it’s not just a paucity of rain — it’s a crisis.

“We’re down to a little over 80,000 acre-feet of water in the lake,” he said. “We can’t afford to go through another five-year drought.”

Spandrio, a self-educated expert with a broad smile and a white beard, works on water issues three hours a day, he says, despite running a consulting business out of his home. He points out that Ojai has been through more than one drought that lasted longer than the most recent severe drought (of 2012-2017). In fact the most severe drought in recent history, which extended from 1946 to the mid-1960s, resulted in the construction of two local dams — Matilija Dam in 1948, which was poorly sited and constructed, and became inoperable due to silting almost immediately; and the dam at Lake Casitas, which was constructed in record time in the mid-1950s by the federal Bureau of Reclamation. As groundwater levels in Ojai during the Eisenhower era plunged to record lows, imperiling local orange groves, Ojai and the federal government mobilized to build a backup water supply sufficient to keep the farmers of Ojai and the residents of western Ventura in water even through a 21-year-long drought.

Spandrio thinks it’s no longer enough.

“I’m a data-oriented person,” he said. “I started going to

meetings at Casitas. Probably the first impression I had was of how the Casitas management intimidated the public, or tried to. They speak in an opaque language. The meetings are not recorded or broadcast. They take place at 3 in the afternoon, when most people can’t possibly attend. Press coverage is almost nonexistent. People didn’t seem to much care that we could run out of water. So I started compiling the data and making graphs. Casitas lost about 117,000 acre-feet of water during the drought — that’s about half their total capacity.”

Spandrio may be a self-educated water expert, but plenty of other accredited water managers and officials in the region are no less alarmed. Bert Rapp, an engineer who manages the Ventura River Water District, which serves just under 6,000 customers in Oak View and Casitas Springs, and which relies on Lake Casitas when the wells run dry, expresses much the same fear.

“It’s often said that history repeats itself,” he pointed out. “If you look at the history of rain in the Ojai Basin you will see that last year looks a lot like 1962. We had some good rain last year, just as they did in 1962, but previously they had had four years of drought, as we did, and then they had another few years of drought. Finally they had the floods of 1969, and that ended it.

If you look at the history of California over the last 10,000 years or so, you will see that we have had more than one drought that lasted 50 years or longer. I think we have to prepare as if this is the sixth year of a 50-year drought.”

IS IT A DROUGHT OR A WATER MANAGEMENT CRISIS?

Over the last five years Casitas has encouraged and required water conservation. As of July 2016, when the lake fell to 40 percent of capacity, Casitas declared a Stage 3 drought, meaning that all customers, agricultural and residential, had their allocations cut by 10 percent. Penalties for exceeding their allocations were quintupled, outdoor watering was limited to one day a week for residential customers, and — according to Ron Merckling, the public affairs resource manager — Casitas recorded some of the best conservation numbers in the state.

Casitas customers today use 40 percent less water than they did in 2011.

“If you have a drinking problem, you have to stop drinking,” she said. “You can’t say, oh, it’s not my fault, and look for someplace else to go for help. I think you have to ask whether people are willing to do the hard work of changing their landscapes, and that includes using less water in agriculture. People have invested in landscapes that are pretty water-intensive. Those changes take a while.”

Pincetl and her husband mulched their moderate-sized orchard in Ojai thoroughly to reduce water use, and she wonders if investing in these types of agricultural innovations — and different crops — might make more sense for Ojai than connecting to state water. But she knows that water sales fund water deliveries, and utilities have their hands tied by court rulings when it comes to changing rates and encouraging innovation.

Her comments about our thirsty plantings were echoed

by Bill Patzert, a climatologist with decades of experience in Southern California. Patzert is critical of overplanted landscapes that look like rain forests in dry areas of Southern California such as Beverly Hills, and he notes that oil production requires huge amounts of water. Nonetheless he sympathizes with water districts in Southern California that want to connect to state water.

“If you look here in Southern California, the groundwater system supply has been in free-fall in the last five years of drought,” he said. “Little water districts all over Southern California, like mine in Sierra Madre, are scrambling to connect to state water. We really didn’t get much rain this winter, and partly because Casitas is in a rain shadow, you didn’t get that much rain either. It has to be a pretty big storm to get all that rain over the mountains and into the reservoir. Ojai doesn’t really get that much rain generally.”

THE “THREE SISTERS” PLAN

Richard Hajas, who grew up in Ventura, worked as an engineer for Casitas and went on to manage a water district in the Thousand Oaks area, agrees that Ojai and Ventura County

have been expecting too much from Lake Casitas. Over the past year he worked with a quartet of water experts in Ojai (called the Water Advisory Group) on a plan to bolster the reservoir at Lake Casitas. It began with research into rainfall patterns and his discovery that Ojai’s water prosperity in the late 20th century looks to be unprecedented in its history.

“We went through an academic process of identifying the problem,” he said. “We went back through the data and found that the recent period from 1969 to 2000 had seven years of extraordinary rainfall. When we looked at the data from the county’s watershed protection district for the years 1900 to 1969 we could only find one year even similar to those kind of events.

We may be betting that this really wet period is the norm. If you run the numbers this presents a much more dire picture of the future.”

Building on existing plans by the city of Ventura to bring water through the Calleguas Water District in Thousand Oaks to western Ventura by 2023, thus replacing the approximately 6,000 acre-feet a year that the city currently receives from the Casitas reservoir, Hajas proposes a plan that will allow Casitas to rebuild its water levels with runoff from the watershed. This would use available state water to replace Casitas’ supply to Ventura and, if necessary, some service areas as far north as Oak View (but not Casitas Springs or Ojai).

Ventura and Casitas, with financial support from the much larger Calleguas Water District, would in turn agree to reserve as much as 30,000 acre-feet to send flow back through Ventura and on to Calleguas in the event of an earthquake that could interrupt supplies to Thousand Oaks and southern Ventura County. Calleguas estimates that an earthquake that disrupted its sole pipeline to state water through the Santa Susanna Mountains could require six months to repair: 30,000 acre-feet could allow the utility to keep communities from Simi Valley to Thousand Oaks in water if necessary after that kind of emergency.

Hajas presented the plan to the Casitas board of directors on Feb. 28 to general acclaim and a unanimous vote of approval.

“This is urgent!” declared director Jim Word, in the first comPHOTO BY OJAI RAPTOR CENTER

Merckling said. “The Ojai Bbasin contains roughly 80,000 acrefeet [of water] with about 2,000 acre-feet being utilized by Ojai customers per year. Lake Casitas is at 85,000 acre-feet with about 12,000 acre-feet of demand a year.”

At the other end of the Ojai Valley, the charismatic young farmer and teacher Connor Jones makes a surprisingly similar point. When he speaks on water in panel discussions and in video Facebook posts he puts air quotes around “drought” and lightly mocks the concept.

“I did some rough calculations on the storm we had on March 21,” he said in a Facebook video post. “According to the county, at the peak flow of the storm we had 500 cubic feet per second (CFS) of water flowing out of the basin down the Ventura River to the ocean. That’s about 3,740 gallons. If you look at the average flow on this day over the last 58 years, it’s about 96 CFS, or 700 gallons per second. Do a little math with that and you end up with 60 million gallons. Do some rough calculations with average household use and you find that in one average 24-hour period we lose enough water to supply all of Ojai for half the year. I think we may have a water management and storage crisis, rather than a water scarcity situation.”

Jones teaches the idea of permaculture, an agricultural method developed in the dry lands of Australia, which preaches a “slow it, spread it, sink it” method for infiltrating water into the land for later use. Los Angeles, the city famous around the world (thanks to Chinatown) for water importation, startled water managers last summer by pledging to spend up to $11 billion to similarly capture and infiltrate stormwater into local aquifers, a plan called Resilient Los Angeles. The city wants to reduce its importation of water from northern rivers via the State Water Project by 50 percent by 2024.

Stephanie Pincetl, an Ojai resident and a professor at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, specializes in the study of water infrastructure in California. She oversaw a National Science Foundation study on water retention in Los Angeles; she supports the Los Angeles plan and has doubts about the wisdom of connecting to state water for Casitas. Yet she makes no bones about the difficult challenge facing Ojai.

She points out that we live in a dry climate, but don’t want to face up to that, and that the hotter summers and the drier falls

onexhibit Jessie Arms Botke and Dean DeWinter in Santa Paula

by Emily Dodi

PHOTO BY T CHRISTIAN GAPEN

A

quick getaway is yours in Santa Paula, where the Santa Paula Art Museum and the Blanchard Community Library are exhibiting works that open the door to lush fantasy, Hollywood magic and lighthearted aloha.

Botke: Birds and Blossoms, at the Santa Paula Art Museum through July 8, showcases works by Jessie Arms Botke, a well-known and beloved local artist. Known for her lush paintings that are alive with magnificent birds and colorful flowers, Botke has been a longtime favorite among collectors, both at home and abroad.

“We show her work every three or four years because she is so popular in the area,” says the museums’s Executive Director Jennifer Orcutt Heighton. This particular show stands out as it features many works from private collections. As the exhibit’s literature points out, “For the first time we explore more fully what inspired Jessie Arms Botke’s lifetime love of birds and blossoms through works that have never before been exhibited.”

Born in Chicago in 1883, Botke studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and went on to work as a tapestry “cartoonist” (designer) for the famed Herter Looms in New York. Botke was also sought after by private patrons, from New York to Europe, to paint wall friezes in their homes. The artist and her husband later settled in nearby Wheeler Canyon, where she would further develop her style of painting splendid, colorful paintings that she often augmented with gold leaf.

Some of the works on loan from private collections include “White Peacock with Lotus,” “Manchurian Cranes” and “Mrs. Cherry’s Garden.” Painted with exquisite detail and astonishing realism softened with a loving eye, they give the viewer a sense of stepping into a private paradise.

An entire section of the exhibit features photographs, sketches and other materials that illustrate her artistic process and her growth as an artist, from her days in New York to the inspiration she found at her home in Wheeler Canyon, which still remains in her family. There she had her own studio and aviary, which supplied endless inspiration. Also in the exhibit is a full-size reproduction of a mural she painted in 1950 for the Woodrow Wilson High School in Oxnard, the largest painting of birds she ever created.

In the next gallery is Setting the Scene: Hollywood Animators and Background Painters in the Santa Paula Civic Collection. On exhibit until June 17, the show celebrates the work of artists of the American Scene Painting movement that coincided with the Golden Age of Hollywood (1930 to 1960). As explained by the Santa Paula Art Museum, the movement “encompassed realistic, everyday scenes of urban and rural America.” The artists featured in the show, such as George Gibson,

Take a visual journey through the lush, tropical and even magical in Santa Paula. “White Peacock” (above) and other paintings

by Jessie Arms Botke are on exhibit now at the Santa Paula Art Museum.

The Blanchard Community Library shows Dean DeWinter’s tikiinspired work such as “Dropp’n” (right).

Basil Davidovich, Robert Caples and Stewart Robertson, found work painting backdrops for the Hollywood studios to supplement their incomes, especially during the hard times of the Great Depression. All of the paintings on exhibit were once submitted to the Santa Paula Art Show, illustrating that in many ways

Hollywood had nothing over the small agricultural town in Ventura County. Next to each painting is a list of the artist’s film credits and, in some cases, an image or clip from a relevant film. A monitor in the gallery shows the artists’ work “in action” in such films as Planet of the Apes, The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka & the

Chocolate Factory and other iconic films.

Down the road at the Blanchard Community Library is a solo exhibition of works by local artist Dean DeWinter, on display through May 12 with a reception scheduled for Saturday, April 21, at noon. Thirty tropical tiki-inspired pastel and acrylic paintings sweep the viewer away to Hawaii for some fun in the sun. An award-winning art director, DeWinter worked in publishing for decades before retiring and pursuing his passion. “My lifetime dream is to express myself through art and have fun with it,” he says. That art director sensibility remains strong within him, though. “I’m a little too critical,” he confesses. As an art director he says, “There were so many rules and people to please. Now, I don’t have to.” He once carved tikis in wood but when his wife got a little too nervous watching him wield a chainsaw, he switched to paint and pastel. His paintings, such as “Dropp’n,” “Sunset Swell” and “Lovers,” are filled with whimsy and aloha, reminiscent of Kauai, one of his favorite places.

Lucky for us we don’t have to travel that far to get a taste of the tropics or be dazzled by the limelight. To paraphrase the Setting the Scene brochure, Santa Paula is a small town that is home to a remarkable collection of art. We need only take a short drive to discover that the whole beautiful world is at our feet.

F Botke: Birds and Blossoms and Setting the Scene are on exhibit now at the Santa Paula Art Museum, 117 N. 10th St., Santa Paula, 525-5554 or www.santapaulaartmuseum.org. See Dean DeWinter’s work at the Blanchard Community Library, 119 N. Eighth St., Santa Paula, 525-3615 or blanchardlibrary.org.

MEDICINE HAT (self-titled)

S

ay what? Another Medicine Hat release? You bet.

The music scene’s most prolific recording artists are at it again with this excellent five-song release.

This time the new EP sounds a lot more like what the live shows have become, with the acoustic duo of Robert Ramirez on vocals and guitar and Michelle Votrian on vocals and guitar as well.

Opening track, “At Night You Break My Heart,” sounds like a vintage Gram Parsons song with its twangy singalong chorus. “Dig” finds the duo trying new ground in an almost meditative, psychedelic mood. “Hanging Pictures” has the solid rock groove that would easily translate to Medicine Hat’s occasional full-band shows. “Dirty Waltz” could easily be a John Prine or Townes Van Zandt track — which is as good as the genre can get. The EP closes with “Comes Around,” a stoner desert ballad that is classic Medicine Hat. The EP proves that not only is Medicine Hat one of the most prolific recording bands in town, it is now also one of the best.

LICITY COLLINS One Girl Town

ith a unique and engaging voice reminiscent of cult singer/songwriters Jill Sobule and Brenda Kahn, Licity Collins does the standard soulsearching subject matter you’d expect on her debut release.

Most songs are of the folky, stripped-down nature, and lyrically Collins doesn’t break any new ground. Having said that, you definitely get the feeling that she’s writing from a sincere and honest place, emotionally speaking, which is more than a lot of songwriters can say these days.

And locals should keep an ear out for a sweet Ventura reference on the ballad “Sometimes.”

While a little on the light side for a full-length at just nine songs, listeners still get their money’s worth with One Girl Town. Nearly every song on the record is over the fiveminute mark. Several tracks, however, leave you with the feeling that a minute or so less would probably have been beneficial to the songs overall.

And that’s a good example of why having a full-length album and not a single or an EP as your first recorded introduction to the world can be so risky. One gets the feeling that Collins is still discovering her writing and recording potential and a full-length may be a bit much out of the gate.

But who knows? When you’re an artist as passionate as Collins clearly is, you probably have no choice but to let the world hear everything you have to say. Ready or not, you have to respect that. Definitely a local artist to keep an eye on.

KARYN 805 Entangled Hearts

n a time when everyone is trying to be different, keeping songwriting simple, straightforward and safe practically comes off as experimental. Case in point: Karyn 805’s new full-length, Entangled Hearts.

Virtually every song sounds as though you’ve heard it before, a mix of rock, country, blues, folk, etc., that your folks would probably dig. On first listen the record doesn’t necessarily turn your head or catch your ear. Afterward, however, a strange thing happens.

That same familiarity makes you want to actually listen to it again — and suddenly you realize that they’re not generic songs at all, they’re just well-crafted.

There are hints of Bonnie Raitt on the bluesy numbers like “Better Be Good to Me,” Nanci Griffith on the countrified “Roped and Tied” and Melissa Etheridge on the more rocking tracks. Be on the lookout for “Slow Dancing,” a beautiful ballad and the album’s standout track. It’s a song so good you think it could be a Motown standard, one with TV and film placement written all over it.

So is there really anything wrong with just plain old simple songs when they’re well-written and -recorded?

Absolutely not. Karyn 805 is a testament to that.

Chappaquiddick A tragedy that endures

by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Chappaquiddick Directed by John Curran Starring: Jason Clarke, Kate Mara, Ed Helms, Jim Gaffigan Rated PG-13 for thematic material, disturbing images, some strong language and historical smoking.

1 hr. 46 min.

T

he word Chappaquiddick, translated from its original Native New England Algonquian, literally means “Island adjacent to the mainland.” Since the fateful summer of 1969, Chappaquiddick, when printed or spoken, evokes many definitions: tragedy, scandal, cowardice, entitlement.

In July of that year, a tumultuous decade skittered to its end. As one dream (a manned moon landing) was being fulfilled, another, the dream of a Kennedy eventually reclaiming the White House, plunged off a small wooden bridge and died alongside Mary Jo Kopechne.

It has taken until now, nine years after the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, to see a motion picture made of this awful incident, the details of which remain as murky as the very waters where Kopechne’s life ended.

Since its early April release, the relatively small crowds for director John Curran’s Chappaquiddick have led to smaller venues, but there’s no getting away from the story’s effect on those who see it. To this day, TMZ and pulp tabloids have

splashed salacious headlines, spreading tawdry theories about what may have happened when Sen. Kennedy left a party on Chappaquiddick Island with Kopechne and drove his 1967 Oldsmobile into that pond. Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan have fashioned a screenplay that delves into both the accident and the attempt to give Kennedy political cover in its aftermath.

Australian actor Jason Clarke is an equivocating Kennedy: flawed, oddly childlike, crushed by the assassinations of his older brothers and the weight of being expected to pick up their fallen mantles and press on.

Kate Mara is the intelligent Kopechne, a former “boiler room” woman in Robert F. Kennedy’s ill-fated presidential campaign. Two actors known mostly for comedy play the men who first come to Kennedy’s aid. Ed Helms is Joe Gargan, the cousin and lawyer who planned the party that night. Jim Gaffigan has the role of Paul Markham, a U.S. Attorney from Massachusetts and a Kennedy pal.

These characters dive in the pond to search for Kopechne, then urge the senator to do the right thing and alert the authorities, immediately.

He doesn’t. Instead, Kennedy calls his father, Joe, wheelchair-ridden and virtually speechless as the result of his 1961 stroke. Bruce Dern brings the stricken patriarch to frightening life through both twisted demeanor and visage, still controlling by sheer will. The only word he can muster to his youngest son is, “Alibi.”

Within 24 hours of the incident, as Apollo 11’s lunar module came closer and closer to settling onto the surface of the moon, old Joe has summoned a brain trust from JFK’s administration, speechwriter Ted Sorenson (Taylor Nichols) and former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (Clancy Brown) among them, to plot a course for Teddy and navigate the maelstrom.

Eventually, a week following Kopechne’s death, Kennedy reads a speech to the American people over the three existing TV networks.

Against Gargan’s advice, he did not resign his senate seat.

As the decades unfolded, both for his state and his party, Ted Kennedy distinguished himself as a senator — something his brothers John and Robert did not accomplish.

Chappaquiddick is a good film, worthy of a few more weeks in the theaters. Grim, even eerie in some aspects, and speculative. We’ll never know all of what happened on July 18, 1969, and in the days following — why Kennedy left a woman behind, why he didn’t report it to police. In life, he could never explain it. As drama, Chappaquiddick leaves you hushed. One’s heart bleeds for the girl whose family lost their daughter. As filmmaking, it’s creditably matter-of-fact. As you watch, you’re conflicted as to how anyone could have survived something like this, politically. Then you turn on the news and realize, a half-century has done little to change the machinations of the human condition or the ♦ body politic.

Expect it, however.

On our lunchtime visit we were told that Boonklong had recently returned from Thailand, where vegetarian fare has become increasingly popular, hence the conversion of the menu from shrimp and crab to tofu, curry and other Thai specialties. There is no meat on the new menu, a bonus for us vegetarians, but don’t let that fool you: The flavors are rather powerful, intriguing and delicious.

In desperate need of an egg roll on that particular day for some reason, we dove into the appetizers and immediately placed an order for Mama’s version, mixed vegetables and glass noodles, rolled and deepfried. Five come to an order ($8.50) alongside a sweet-and-sour sauce.

We perused the menu while waiting for them to arrive and discovered some items we’d never come across 24 — — April 19, 2018

in Ventura, as inundated as we are in Thai restaurants.

Meaung khum ($10), a dish of roasted coconut, mint, cashew nuts, lime, ginger and fried tofu served over a salad with tamarind sauce intrigued us; and so did the “signature” menu item, the nam-prik.

There are various iterations of this dish, served with a side of steamed and fresh vegetables, all revolving around a mixture of chili paste with various additions.

As the egg rolls arrived, we put in our orders. Traditional items on the menu include the obvious pad thai with tofu or vegetables ($11.50) and red, green or yellow curries, including a sour curry ($11.50); but feeling the need for lighter fare, my companion chose the satay tofu salad ($11) and I, intrigued by the nam-prik, selected the “num” variety ($12) of the four choices.

First, the egg rolls. Crispy and savory, the veggie-and-noodle-stuffed tubes were far above average, served hot and fresh from the fryer. The sweet-and-sour sauce served alongside was a step above the competition; this is a dish I’d gladly order alone, as it was served alongside a salad, enough for a light lunchtime meal.

For the satay salad, I kind of knew what to expect. Grilled tofu, a peanut sauce, etc. Presentationwise, it exceeded my expectations, a big mound of salad ripe with cucumber and mixed greens topped by five long, thick slices of tofu fried to golden perfection, slathered in a thick peanut sauce. Two sauces came with it as well, more peanut sauce for dipping. The tofu was melt-in-yourmouth good, fried to crispy excellence, and the sauce top-notch.

As for the nam-prik, with no expectations, I was still surprised

by what appeared to be crudités. In the center of the plate was a bowl filled to the brim with what looked like chunky guacamole, surrounded by miniature corn, steamed broccoli, carrots, a thick winter squash, sliced cucumbers and raw zucchini, cauliflower and cabbage. Initially I thought that I had ordered an appetizer by mistake, but was schooled therein: the nam-prik is a chili-based sauce or dip, a popular dish in Thailand, so arriving as it had made perfect sense.

The version I had ordered had a green curry sauce, roasted peppers and onions and various vegetables inside. To eat, I simply dolloped a bit onto one of the accompanying vegetables and went to town. The sauce was hearty and mellow with a mild spice that coats the tongue.

The roasted vegetables had a slight sweetness that played well. As I worked my way around the plate, through the rainbow of accoutrements, I found that the dish was more than filling.

On the side of the SeaGlass menu, “Good for the body & mind” is written between a series of statements: “No MSG, delicious, dairyfree, animal-friendly.” I can attest to all of those statements. SeaGlass is delicious, and we left more than thrilled that Mama, whose restaurant empire includes meat-centric Thai fare and meat-broth bowls of noodles, now includes a menu dedicated to the oft-ignored vegetable, one that isn’t boring but rather innovative and interesting.

With that being said, there isn’t that much of a difference between this menu and the one found at Rice by Mama. Choosing SeaGlass would perhaps put you in good favor with your vegetarian/vegan friends, however. ♦

I’

m a 45-year-old single guy seeking a long-term relationship. My problem is that when I’m interacting with a woman I’m attracted to, my ability to read whether she’s interested in me goes out the window. I suspect I’ve missed out on some great women because I couldn’t read their signals quickly enough.

— Disappointed Where you go wrong is in taking the hesitant approach to asking a woman out — waiting for her to give you some unambiguous indication of interest (ideally, in large red letters on a lighted billboard pulled by a pair of rented elephants).

That said, you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself. The psychological

operating system now driving you (and all of us) evolved to solve ancestral mating and survival problems, and what was adaptive back then can be maladaptive today.

Take how we evolved to be deeply concerned about safeguarding our reputation. Reputation is essentially our social report card — others’ evaluation of the sort of person we are.

It matters today, of course, but not in the life-or-death way it often did in an ancestral environment, where — per anthropologist Irven DeVore’s estimate — many people were with the same band of about 25 others for much of their life. Back then, if a guy got snubbed by a girl, it would be front-cave news; everybody would know and be laughing behind his back in short order.

Flash-forward to today. You’re in a bar. Some woman you hit on spurns you. Well, that blows — and more so if there are witnesses.

But there are countless other bars — which means you can erase the embarrassing stain on your social rap sheet simply by trotting down the block to the next happy hour.

Ultimately, recognizing the mismatch between our evolved emotions and modern life helps

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

In the early history of the automobile, electric engines were more popular and common than gasoline-powered engines. They were less noisy, dirty, smelly, and difficult to operate. It’s too bad that thereafter the technology for gasoline cars developed at a faster rate than the technology for electric cars. By the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, the petroleum-suckers were in ascendance. They have remained so ever since, playing a significant role in our world’s ongoing environmental degradation. Moral of the story: Sometimes the original idea or the early model or the first try is better. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should consider applying this hypothesis to your current state of affairs.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

The Chesapeake Bay is a fertile estuary that teems with life. It’s 200 miles long and holds 18 trillion gallons of water. More than 150 streams and rivers course into its drainage basin. And yet it’s relatively shallow. If you’re six feet tall, you could wade through over a thousand square miles of its mix of fresh and salt water without getting your hat wet. I see this place as an apt metaphor for your life in the coming weeks: an expanse of flowing fecundity that is vast but not so deep that you’ll get overwhelmed.

GEMINI

You’ll soon arrive at a pressure-packed turning point.

You’ll stand poised at a pivotal twist of fate where you must trust your intuition to reveal the differences between smart risks and careless gambles. Are you willing to let your half-naked emotions show? Will you have the courage to be brazenly loyal to your deepest values? I won’t wish you luck, because

26 —

how the story evolves will be fueled solely by your determination, not by accident or happenstance.

You will know you’re in a good position to solve the Big Riddles if they feel both scary and fun.

CANCER

— April 19, 2018

(June 21-July 22):

Strong softness is one of your specialties. So are empathetic rigor, creative responsiveness, and daring acts of nurturing. Now is a perfect time to summon and express all of these qualities with extra flair. If you do, your influence will exceed its normal quotas. Your ability to heal and inspire your favorite people will be at a peak. So I hereby invite you to explore the frontiers of aggressive receptivity. Wield your courage and power with a fierce vulnerability.

Be tenderly sensitive as an antidote to any headstrong lovelessness you encounter.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

In 1973, Pink Floyd released the album The Dark Side of the Moon. Since then, it has been on various Billboard charts for over 1,700 weeks, and has sold more than 45 million copies. Judging from the astrological aspects coming to bear on you, Leo, I suspect you could create or produce a beautiful thing with a similar staying power in the next five months.

What vitalizing influence would you like to have in your life for at least the next 30 years?

VIRGO (May 21-June 20):

by rob brezsny

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

I beg you to take a break sometime soon. Give yourself permission to indulge in a vacation or recess or sabbatical. Wander away on a leave of absence.

Explore the mysteries of a siesta blended with a fiesta. If you don’t grant yourself this favor, I may be forced to bark “Chill out, dammit!” at you until you do. Please don’t misunderstand my intention here.

The rest of us appreciate the way you’ve been

attending to the complicated details that are too exacting for us. But we can also see that if you don’t ease up, there will soon be diminishing returns. It’s time to return to your studies of relaxing freedom.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Singer-songwriter Roy Orbison achieved great success in the 1960s, charting 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40. But his career declined after that. Years later, in 1986, filmmaker David Lynch asked him for the right to use his tune “In Dreams” for the movie Blue Velvet. Orbison denied the request, but Lynch incorporated the tune anyway. Surprise! Blue Velvet was nominated for an Academy Award and played a big role in reviving Orbison’s fame. Later the singer came to appreciate not only the career boost, but also Lynch’s unusual aesthetic, testifying that the film gave his song an “otherworldly quality that added a whole new dimension.” Now let’s meditate on how this story might serve as a parable for your life. Was there an opportunity that you once turned down but will benefit from anyway? Or is there a current opportunity that maybe you shouldn’t turn down, even if it seems odd?

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You’ve been to the Land of No Return and back more than anyone. But soon you’ll be visiting a remote enclave in this realm that you’re not very familiar with. I call it the Mother Lode of Sexy Truth. It’s where tender explorers go when they must transform outworn aspects of their approach to partnership and togetherness. On the eve of your quest, shall we conduct an inventory of your capacity to outgrow your habitual assumptions about relationships? No, let’s not. That sounds too stiff and formal. Instead, I’ll simply ask you to strip away any falseness that interferes with vivacious and catalytic intimacy.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

In 1824, two British explorers climbed a mountain in southwestern Australia. They were hoping to get a sweeping view of Port Phillip Bay, on which the present-day city of Melbourne is located. But when they reached the top, their view was largely obstructed by trees. Out of perverse spite, they decided to call the peak Mount Disappointment, a name it retains to this day. I suspect you may soon have your own personal version of an adventure that falls short of your expectations. I hope — and also predict — that your experience won’t demoralize you, but will rather mobilize you to attempt a new experiment that ultimately surpasses your original expectations.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Capricorn rock musician Lemmy Kilmister bragged that he swigged a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey every day from 1975 to 2013. While I admire his dedication to inducing altered states of consciousness, I can’t recommend such a strategy for you. But I will love it if you undertake a more disciplined crusade to escape numbing routines and irrelevant habits in the next four weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have a special knack for this practical art.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Germany was one of the big losers of World War I, which ended in 1919. By accepting the terms of the Versailles Treaty, it agreed to pay reparations equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold. Not until 2010, decades after the war, did Germany finally settle its bill and fulfill its obligation. I’m sure your own big, long-running debt is nowhere near as big or as long-running as that one, Aquarius. But you will nonetheless have

reason to be ecstatic when you finally discharge it. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, that could and should happen sometime soon. (P.S. The “debt” could be emotional or spiritual rather than financial.)

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

“I would rather have a drop of luck than a barrel of brains,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes. Fortunately, that’s not a choice you will have to face in the coming weeks, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic signs, your brain will be working with even greater efficiency and ingenuity than it usually does. Meanwhile, a stronger-thanexpected flow of luck will be swirling around in your vicinity. One of your main tasks will be to harness your enhanced intelligence to take shrewd advantage of the good fortune.

Homework: It’s easy to see fanaticism, rigidity, and intolerance in other people, but harder to acknowledge them in yourself. Do you dare? Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

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.
