OPINION Editorial

Love > Fear Fifty years ago on April 4, 1968, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. King, among other activists, was supposed to attend civil rights protests underway in the South.

The shooter, James Earl Ray, was eventually caught and sentenced to 99 years in prison in 1969 and died in 1998.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” — Strength to Love, a collection of King’s sermons, published in 1963 If King were alive today, we wonder what he would think about today’s American society that appears to have progressed a little when it comes to social equity, but still remains off-kilter with a continuation of racial imbalance. Further, we are a nation of people divided by fringe politics, incomes, perceived constitutional rights, social status, looks, even diet. American culture has become synonymous with radical distrust of one another, so much so that if it weren’t for egregious slayings — from South Carolina and Sacramento police officers shooting black men in the back to the mass shootings that seem to be occurring on a weekly basis — we wonder what the masses would share in common. It is curious to consider whether King would have predicted such a volatile nation. How many lives will it take for us to recognize that we are all suffering from lack of respect, connectivity, understanding and respect? If there is anything that King,

he fire was not as hard on me as it was on others, but I still could not afford to waste a hundie on a show I could not get to; other families needed the laugh break as much as I did and lost a lot more money.

Comedian Jo Koy was booked in Santa Barbara at the Arlington Theatre on Jan. 20 for a 7 o’clock show. I had tickets; I could not get there. Two-thirds of the ticket-holders could not get there!

It just so happened that the 101 opening was postponed again, and no one from the south could get to the show. I tried everything. I could not get a boat; train was not running at the times needed; there were no hotel rooms available. (Even if I made the five-hour drive the day before, turned out the 5 was closed anyway so that was a useless idea.)

I wonder how Jo Koy got there?

He played to one-third of the house, having NOT cancelled the show due to the mudslide, etc. I heard he started 45 minutes late while the theater frantically tried to RESELL the tickets

and many other prolific peace activists, believed, it is that love — not fear, not hate, not anger — is the answer to a creating a truly civil society.

Over and over, the excuses build up — that person’s problem is not my problem. And it shows. On Tuesday, April 3, a woman went on a rampage at YouTube’s headquarters in Bruno, California, shooting and wounding four and leaving the woman dead, having turned the gun on herself. (Law enforcement said it related to her being upset with YouTube policies and not related to terrorism.) At what point did Americans turn the corner from political assassinations to shooting average people at work or in school? As if either could be justified, but what’s the point? Why are there so many turbulent people going under the radar until a mass shooting strikes? Why can’t we see dangerous instability in people we see and talk to every day?

While this isn’t a call for gun control or to advocate for gun rights, it’s simply a time to reflect on what a great leader for social justice might have thought about our nation’s current state of affairs. Perhaps he would see a silver lining when so many of us are living in fear. Maybe he would be able to conjure the potential for unity because, really, we are all just striving to live our lives in harmony and peace.

Or would he be highly concerned that hope seems to be a thing of the past? If we take the time to ask ourselves what King would think about where we are today, we may be able to find the answer to a less hostile and divided nation.

for the empty seats, but since I was not there, I cannot swear to the veracity of this report.

There were LOTS of folks who had tickets who could not go. Arlington refused to refund our money. ACX the promoter would not refund our money. Jo Koy would not refund our money. Arlington would not reschedule.

ACX would not trade tickets for future shows.

Jo Koy would not answer tweets or emails.

He still won’t answer.

NOW Jo Koy is playing 10 shows starting March 29, at Levity in Oxnard.

Since it is right down the road from Santa Barbara, one would think it would not be a big deal to offer folks with Arlington tickets a change of venue.

So far, we all have just had to eat it.

With people helping people all over the place, and fundraisers happening everywhere for fire and flood victims, one would agree that a comedian, of ALL people, would want to spread some laughs.

Apparently, Jo Koy means no joy.

Grand jurors needed

Val Polacek Ventura

I’d like to encourage Ventura County resi-

dents to become part of a valuable community service by serving on the Ventura County Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury is a civil, investigative panel of 19 volunteers. This watchdog group investigates issues and citizen complaints and then makes recommendations to improve the operation of local government. The Grand Jury may examine all aspects of Ventura County government, its 10 city governments as well as special districts and other agencies funded by tax dollars.

To become a Grand Juror, you must be 18 years or older, a U.S. citizen and a Ventura County resident for at least a year. A complete list of requirements and other information about Grand Jury service can be found at: http://www.ventura.org/grand-jury/becomea-grand-juror.

Applications are now available for the 20182019 Grand Jury at: www.ventura.org/grandjury/forms. Applications will be accepted until April 6, 2018.

Random thoughts from a random citizen TRADE WAR: Idiotic, ill-informed people who are screaming “trade war” are grossly misleading everyone around the nation. They do not realize, as I do, that we have been in a ONE-WAY TRADE WAR for the past 25 years. Other nations have had tariffs on our products, while their exports to us are free of tariffs. President “Trumpet” is merely trying to impose the same tariffs on them that they have had on us.

WALL ON U.S.-MEXICAN BORDER: Here is one factor that NO ONE seems to be thinking about, with respect to the border wall President “Trumpet” wants: GRAFFITI!!

As each section of the wall is completed, both sides will be loaded with graffiti within three days.

Will Mexico pay for the graffiti cleanup???

I don’t think so!!

Conserving nothing, part 2

by Raymond Freeman

P

urely as a silly question, what exactly do conservatives “conserve”?

Conservatives deny the obvious facts that the Arctic ice is shrinking, that the sea level is rising, and that Miami floods constantly, all due to global warming. But if they can make a quick buck by killing the planet, why worry?

Are conservatives fiscally prudent, then?

Certainly not: A staggering 70 percent of all National Debt incurred since 1836 had been run up by Presidents Ronald Reagan and the two Bushes (George H.W and George) when President Barack Obama took office. Conservatives stuck him with the 2008 Crash, tax cuts and two wars, then screamed that he was responsible for the debt that their own policies produced.

Under President Donald Trump, conservatives have added over $1 trillion to the debt. Their recent tax cuts for the wealthy will add another $1.5 trillion. But since “Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter” (VP Dick Cheney), why worry?

Do conservatives conserve “family values,” then? Trump believes that marriage is a sacred institution amongan adulterer, his third wife and his porn stars. Pro-life Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Penn., resigned in disgrace after pressuring his mistress to have an abortion following their adulterous affair. And instead of practicing Christian charity, Kim Davis refused to grant marriage licenses to gays because she believed in the “sanctity of marriage.” Yet she has been

married four times and two of her children were conceived adulterously. Conservatives wink at such immorality. Since all conservatives are hypocrites, though, why worry?

Conservatives revere the Founding Fathers, so do they conserve “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” then? The Second Amendment allowed states to raise “well-regulated” militias before America could afford an army (Hamilton, Federalist Paper 29). Clearly, it is obsolete, affecting gun sales. No problem: Jus-

‘‘

Atheist Saddam Hussein loathed Muslim fanatic Osama bin Laden. He kept radical Islam in check. He held Iraq together. Mothers took children to school safely. Conservative warhawks ended all this. In a debate, Jeb Bush said that the Iraq war was a good idea. A teenager shut him up: “Your brother created ISIS.” Conservatives knew that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. Secretary of State Colin Powell later admitted that the WMD scare was manufactured purely to sell the war. President Bush

Conservatives reek of hypocrisy, as do their “pastors” in splendid mansions and private jets.

tice Antonin Scalia led the Supreme Court in ruling that anyone could own weapons of mass murder. The Founders intended the court to have limited powers (Hamilton, Federalist 78). Regardless, it assumed powers to rewrite the Constitution and overrule legislation. FDR tried to rein it in, but lost. Today, it is dominated by right-wing extremists ruling against ordinary Americans in favor of corporate interests.

To conserve corporate profits, conservatives gaily trash the Constitution, your rights and innocent lives.

We can thank teenagers, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting survivors, for finally making conservatives worry.

Do conservatives conserve peace, then?

Junior admitted that al-Qaida was not linked to Iraq, nor Iraq to 9/11. His failed war in mostly Shiite Iraq benefited the Shiite Iranians, leading to the rise of ISIS. And as even the uber-conservative Alan Greenspan admitted, “The Iraq war is largely about oil.” Sadly, the Chinese, who now get Iraq’s oil, are wetting themselves laughing. Bush’s colonial wars are steadily adding ANOTHER $5.6 trillion to national debt, for China’s economic benefit, not ours.

Do conservatives save lives in America, then? Obamacare was originated by the conservative Heritage Foundation. Conservative former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney enacted a plan similar to Obamacare. Regardless, con-

servatives did everything possible to obstruct Obamacare. Germany’s popular Der Spiegel condemned America’s “absurd level of hatred” and blamed conservatives.

Candidate Trump promised that Republicans would deliver “better benefits at a tiny fraction of the cost.” But the GOP’s proposed legislation would have done the exact opposite.

Dirt-poor yokels in Red states were furious at being sacrificed to benefit wealthy conservatives. The loss of health insurance would have killed them. Mercifully, Trumpcare was killed instead. But the conservatives’ 2017 tax law will crimp Obamacare and almost certainly kill thousands. Conservatives squandered the opportunity to act responsibly and improve their own idea.

Conservative politicians profess to be guided morally. But they consistently attack the poor and reward the rich. They defend this absurdly, saying that “freedom” is part of “God’s plan.”

Reality check: Pope Francis has seen poverty close-up. He declared: “The rich must help, respect and promote the poor.” He chastises selfish conservatives’ worship of money (Matthew 19:24). Christ preached that the rich should sell everything and give the money to the poor (Mark 10: 21).

Conservatives reek of hypocrisy, as do their “pastors” in splendid mansions and private jets. “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy, that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness” (J.K. Galbraith).

If you can find anything these “conservatives” actually conserve, please let me know. ♦

Power to Speak

It’s not my fault

by Margaret Morris

D

uring my long life, I’ve often spoken out for the oppressed — for farm workers, for the LGBT, for the homeless, even for mistreated poultry.

This time it’s different, I’m speaking out for myself.

The oppression I speak of started early: It’s 1951 — the McCarthy Era. I’m a 14-yearold eighth grader at Thomas Starr King Junior High. My class is going to the auditorium for an assembly, which makes me quite happy.

We will get to see movies instead of doing boring classwork.

In the assembly, we are shown several nature films, then one final one featuring a gentleman in a Catholic clergyman’s garb — a black cassock with a red sash. He has a friendly countenance, and I like him immediately.

On his desk is a large watch. He tells us that the timepiece is very expensive and complicated.

“Now, we would never think,” he continues, “this collection of carefully calibrated wheels,

gears and levers put itself together. We’d assume somebody made it, made it by design and for a purpose.”

“Likewise,” the gentleman continues, “the world of nature in all its splendor and variety, how much more complex it is than that of the watch. Surely no one could doubt some kind of intelligent creator must have constructed it so.”

Even at 14, I could see he was confusing human manufacturing with the processes of nature. Obviously somebody made the watch to tell time. But with nature’s systems, making and unmaking themselves across eons? With Ice Ages and evolution? Only causality is evident, not some cosmic designer.

Still, I was willing to give the guy a pass. He got me out of class.

Then he says, “Of course, someone wanting to make off with the watch might say nobody made it, it just happened to be there, and it didn’t belong to anyone.” Ha, ha, he laughs.

A little joke.

But the message comes through anyway.

He’s already mushed together human toolmaking with nature’s handiwork, both requiring a purposive shaper. So if one denied the exis-

tence of the clockmaker in order to justify stealing it, what about someone denying nature’s mastermind? Was he suggesting that I also would be prone to thievery because I didn’t buy his analogy?

It was a small thing, but symptomatic and oft recurring.

Parenthetically, in the Cold War hysteria of the ’50s, the school administration no doubt felt a need to deter us students from becoming godless communists.

But why am I bad when I deny other people’s cherished beliefs, which aren’t believable?

Why is it my fault when I notice, for example, that consciousness requires an intact central nervous system and that dead people don’t have one? Thus, no happy reunion with loved ones in the hereafter. Indeed, no hereafter at all.

Evangelicals come to my door to share their “Good News.” What if I showed up at theirs to share the bad news? How would that go over?

And there’s coerced participation in prayers at public meetings. Sure, it doesn’t kill me if others wish to stand for a prayer in my presence, but when I don’t? When I want to peruse my iPhone instead? They say I’m rude.

What about their rudeness? Where do they get off implying that people like me are not just as legitimate a part of the public as they?

How come atheist kids aren’t allowed in Boy Scouts?

According to the 2014 Pew survey, 56 million American adults claim no religious affiliation. Are we all lesser citizens, left out of public participation?

History shows that both those burning with faith and those burning with denial of it commit terrible acts. Shia and Sunni regularly blow each other to pieces. During the Reformation, both Protestants and Catholics dispatched their fellow Christians with great savagery. And the atheist Soviet empire notched up as impressive a bodycount as many a godfearing state.

As Buddha said, “God. No God. Same thing.”

I don’t pretend to know that what lies behind existence, why there’s something and not nothing. Maybe we humans aren’t equipped to know. But I do know the factual bases of most people’s religious beliefs do not merit credence.

And that’s not my fault. ♦ Margaret Morris is a resident of Ventura.

Changing face

USGS maps changes to beach, seafloor after Montecito Mudslides

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

D

riving northbound on the 101 Freeway from Ventura is a far different experience now than it was prior to Jan. 9, when a storm rolled through, mud slid from the hillsides, and 21 lives were lost. The days following the event forced closure of the freeway, and images of the path of destruction that tore through Montecito and parts of Santa Barbara County made international headlines. The damage can still be seen as residents continue working to return to normal.

Now, the United States Geological Survey is mapping changes to the beach and seafloor adjacent to the Montecito mudslides, including in their survey an area that stretches from Goleta to the beach at Mandalay Bay in Oxnard, in an effort to better understand long-term coastal changes. With these data, both Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties can better plan for future coastal living.

Dan Hoover, oceanographer with the USGS, wears a GPS-equipped backpack unit as he strolls the beach at Santa Cruz. The team of scientists mapping the coastline make use of these units, as well as GPSequipped all-terrain vehicles and watercraft saddled with bathymetry equipment to determine nearshore depth.

The Jan. 9 mudslide dumped tons upon tons of mud and debris onto area beaches, but Hoover says that there is no accurate assessment of just how much material came down from the hillsides.

“That’s partly why we’re out there,” said Hoover. “If we keep going back, year after year over time, whatever got in there should move away and relax, and get spread out, and we should see that change.”

Hoover and his team began working on mapping the beach stretching from Goleta to Oxnard back in 2005, when, in the midst of drought, determining where debris and sediment come from and travel to was a slow, if not difficult, task. Hoover says that some estimates show that 1.5 million cubic yards of mud and sediment discharged into the ocean during the Jan. 9 event, but he adds that he doesn’t know how accurate that is.

The goal of the project, says Hoover, is to determine change over

time; and though big events like the mudslide can leave imprints that often last for decades, influences such as those created by climate change and sea-level rise are also studied.

These data are provided to county planning divisions, who use them to determine coastal planning for the long term. Climate change models show that California may see up to a 66-inch rise in sea level during this century, according to a report released by the California Department of Public Health in 2017. With that in mind, counties are already burdened with planning for this real possibility. After the mudslide, planners are looking to update their prediction models.

Hoover says that events like the mudslide can be used as reminders for planners that, though rare, the possibility that they may occur should be included in county and city planning. As for the immediate effects, Hoover says that it will take some time to see just how big an impact the event had on the coast.

“This is the beginning of, hopefully, a long-term process of keeping an eye on things in the Montecito area,” said Hoover. “Hopefully, what we’ll see is the sediment on the bottom spreading out and moving to the southeast, down the beach slowly, and we’ll see it move to the Montecito area and, hopefully, pass through there to the Ventura coast.” ✦

As the national debate over gun control rages, several local activist groups are planning a peaceful protest in Oxnard as the Los Padres Friends of National Rifle Association hosts its annual fundraiser.

The fundraising dinner and auction will feature various firearms and firearm-related memorabilia.

A flier for the fundraiser promotes a guitar shaped like an AR-15 signed by Ted Nugent; a handgun and hunting rifle; and a gold-plated “2018 Gun and Knife of the Year Set,” featuring a Kimber Custom II Freedom Warrior .45 caliber handgun and an NRAemblazoned hunting knife, to name a few.

For a $2,000 table package, an attendee would receive eight dinners, eight raffle packs and one gun. For $10,000, the attendee would receive eight “Mystery Guns,” including two pistols, two revolvers, two rifles, two shotguns with a value of over $6,000.

Our Revolution Gold Coast and Conejo Valley and the Progressive Democrats of America Ventura County will lead the protest.

Troy Corley, chapter leader of the Progressive Democrats of America Ventura County and local activist, says that she expects over 100 protesters.

“We would like for Oxnard not to be a central part for the NRA to raise money to attack young people who were victims of mass shootings,” said Corley.

“Look what’s going on in your backyard; they’re at the Marriott raffling off guns. Is this what we want in our community? I say no and many people say no as well.”

The protest will take place on Saturday, April 7, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in front of the Courtyard Marriott, 600 E. Esplanade Drive in Oxnard.

ELECTION CLERKS SOUGHT FOR OXNARD SPECIAL ELECTION

City of Oxnard residents who speak Spanish, Tagalog or English are being sought to staff the voting booths during the upcoming Oxnard recall special election on May 1.

Meals will be provided for clerks who can be able to serve between 6 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. or until closing duties are completed. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and registered voters of California or legal permanent residents.

If selected, workers will receive $95 for the day and $25 for attending a mandatory training class on Saturday, April 28.

For more information and to apply, call 385-7440.

MOBILE TICKETING COMES TO COUNTY BUSES

Behold, the Gold Coast Transit District buses have arrived to the future with the launch of a mobile ticketing pilot in partnership with Token Transit, giving riders the option of purchasing a pass electronically.

Customers using the Token Transit program can use their smartphones to purchase fares before boarding buses that serve Ojai, Oxnard, Ventura, Port Hueneme and unincorporated areas of the county.

“We know that smartphones are how most folks stay connected with family, friends, news, etc. Now, they can also purchase their bus pass from anywhere, anytime,” said Gold Coast General Manager Steven Brown. “It’s a great way to integrate public transit more seamlessly into everyday life.”

After a year of use, the app will be evaluated to determine whether or not customers find the program beneficial, in addition to determining cost/ benefit.

For more information, visit www.goldcoasttransit. org/fares/mobile-tickets or text “TOKEN” to 41411 to download the app.

Crime Report JANE LAUT ATTORNEYS ARGUE TRIAL WAS UNFAIR

Jane Laut, convicted of murdering her husband of 29 years, Dave, a former Olympian and Port Hueneme high school coach, has said through her attorneys that, had expert testimony on the effects of battered-woman syndrome been allowed during the murder trial, she may not have been found guilty.

This claim was submitted in a 116-page brief filed in the California 2nd District Court of Appeal by attorneys Mark Alan Hart and Diane Berley. Laut, 60, was sentenced to 50 years to life for the murder of her husband, but her appellate attorneys claim that she was denied a constitutional right to “present a defense” when the Ventura County Superior Court judge denied her request to present testimony on her mental state at the time of the shooting.

The attorneys also allege that prosecutorial JANE LAUT

misconduct and omission of certain jury instructions led to the “unfair verdict.”

The shooting took place on the evening of Aug. 27, 2009. Jane called 911 and claimed that prowlers were in her backyard and that she had heard gunshots. Later, she admitted to shooting her husband in self-defense after he threatened to kill her and their dogs. The defense would claim that Jane was abused by her husband for 29 years.

During cross-examination, Senior Deputy District Attorney Rameen Minoui insinuated that defense attorney Ron Bamieh coached Jane’s testimony about her abusive relationship and that the defense attorney’s role is “to lie.” For this, Minoui was fined $500 and the jury was asked to disregard his statements. The incident is cited in the appellate brief as being an example of prosecutorial misconduct, one of three such occurrences.

The State Attorney General must now file a response to Laut’s brief.

T.O. MALL SHOOTING SUSPECT SHOULDN’T HAVE HAD WEAPON

The gun used to shoot and kill one woman and then used in an attempted suicide by the alleged shooter had been wrongfully returned to the suspect after deputies had seized it earlier in the year.

On Saturday, March 17, authorities say, Kevin Crane, 33, shot and killed his ex-wife, Parisa Siddiqi, 29, at the Papersource store within the Thousand Oaks Mall before turning the gun on himself. Crane was in critical condition following the incident.

The Glock .40-caliber handgun had been seized in September 2014 after Crane was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery of Siddiqi during a dispute, resulting in minor injuries, according to Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

Prosecutors charged Crane with misdemeanor battery and a judge ordered that his handgun be confiscated. The order wasn’t received by the Sheriff’s Office, however, for over a year, during which time Crane’s application for the return of his weapon was approved.

SUSPECTED HUMAN TRAFFICKING SUSPECT ARRESTED IN CAMARILLO

A Sacramento man was arrested in late March and charged with human trafficking in Ventura County after investigators say he forced multiple suspects, including minors, to engage in prostitution.

James Powell, 31, was arrested after an investigation into a missing Sacramento-area 14-year-old girl led to the discovery of the girl’s picture being used online to promote prostitute services in Camarillo. Authorities from the Sacramento suburb of Citrus Heights notified the Ventura County Sherriff’s Office, which then located the missing 14-year-old girl JAMES POWELL along with two other victims, aged 17 and 22 respectively, in a Camarillo hotel room.

Two other victims were found during the hunt for Powell, one found with him as he attempted to check into a hotel room in Manhattan Beach.

Unique programs for people with autism help build strength, social connection

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

iagnosed with autism at 2 and a half years old, Jack Tindell has made great strides since he began training at the iFlextrain Fitness for Autism gym under the guidance of Coach David Igliori four years ago.

“We found out about David’s gym when we met him at a booth he had at the Aut2Run at Cal State University, Channel Islands,” recalled Laura Tindell of Simi Valley, whose son Jack is now 19 years old.

During Jack’s twice-weekly training sessions at the Newbury Park gym, he performs all different kinds of strength and cardio training, including weight lifting, heavybag hitting, lifting medicine balls and pulling and pushing a sled. Jack also does sit-ups, push-ups and jumping jacks as part of his full-body workout.

“Jack’s workouts have given him a desire and love of working out and doing some kind of physical activity daily.

I think this will continue throughout his lifetime,” his mom said.

As a result of training with Coach David, “Jack is much more calm and relaxed, just as we all are after getting a good workout,” she said.

“I also think he feels a great sense of accomplishment and pride in himself after a great workout,” Laura Tindell added.

“It just makes him feel good, which is what we want for our kids: to be healthy, happy and feel good about themselves and others.”

Igliori’s Fitness for Autism gym is among several efforts throughout Ventura County that serve individuals on the autism spectrum.

“Ventura County boasts a number of services to support the needs of people with autism,” said Edlyn Vallejo Peña of Camarillo, Director and co-founder of the Autism and Communication Center at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.

Peña, an associate professor who conducts research on supporting students with autism, also has a 10-year-old son, Diego, who was born with autism and has been training with Coach David since June of 2017.

There are many different areas in which people with autism need support, Peña said, including sensory, communication, adaptive skills, social, behavior, fitness and adaptive recreation.

“For instance, my son has been attending Special Equestrian Riding Therapy in Moorpark and Conejo Vallejo Therapeutic Recreation camp for many years,” Peña said.

“These places have been a good fit for him because they are willing to accommodate and support his unique needs.”

8—

— April 5, 2018

Special Equestrian Riding Therapy (SERT) is a charitable organization that provides physically, mentally and emotionally challenged individuals an opportunity for growth through horsemanship. The nonprofit effort was founded in 1987 by a group of concerned individuals and parents of children with disabilities who were seeking a way to improve the quality of their children’s lives through the use of horses. SERT gives these youths the opportunity to practice skills needed to face their fears, communicate feelings, and access strengths. Through regular sessions, therapeutic horseback riding can help improve attention span, speech and other communication skills, self-confidence and self-control, as well as balance, coordination,and muscle strength.

In Thousand Oaks, the Conejo Recreation and Park District offers a “Therapeutic Recreation” sport and leisure programs for children, teens and adults who have difficulty participating in recreation because of a disability. Participants include those with cognitive, neurological, physical, or emotional disabilities, and/or sensory impairments. Benefits may include improved social skills, enhanced self–esteem, increased independence and self-reliance, enhanced communication skills, eased fears, improved overall health, well-being, physical ability and functional ability, improved constructive use of leisure time and elimination of boredom leading to reduced stress and anxiety.

Peña added that Autism Society of Ventura County has a great directory that lists plenty of resources in Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Simi Valley, Moorpark, Santa Paula and Agoura. These resources include respite and companion care, supported living services, support groups, academic tutoring, recreation activities, counseling and medical providers.

She further noted that a report by the CDC was released a few weeks ago showing that diagnostic rates for children with autism in the U.S. have been steady for the last few years.

“The rate is 1 in 68,” Peña said. “So the good news is that the rates of children diagnosed with autism are stabilizing, but the high rate of 1 in 68 means that many children continue to need intensive interventions and supports into their adult years.”

Since training with Coach David, her son Diego has become stronger and more coordinated in his movements, his mom said.

“He is learning push-ups, sit-ups and pushing and pulling weights on the weight machine. Before we started with Coach David, Diego was not yet able to do these kinds of exercises,” Peña said. “With lots of practice and patience from Coach David over the last eight months, Diego is now able to coordinate his body to execute these kinds of exercises. Diego walks out of the gym both energized and proud of himself.”

“A GIFT FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK”

David Igliori’s initial experience with autism began when he was in a 13-year relationship with a woman who had a son on the autism spectrum.

“Her son was 8 years old when I first met him and I had no experience with autism,” recalled Igliori of Newbury Park, who has been in the fitness industry for 15 years.

“She often commented that I had a gift for this type of work,” he said.

At first, “I didn’t want to do it. Then I met with a business adviser … when I was looking to start a new business. When I told him about fitness for autism, he looked at me with a deep stare — he was ex-marine and retired executive — and said, ‘Do the autism.’ ” Igliori began weight training and boxing with his girlfriend’s son, a positive experience that lasted the length of their relationship, and inspired him to open Fitness for Autism in October of 2012.

“I can see the enthusiasm as they participate in the program, also the improvement in their coordination, strength and confidence,” Igliori said. “My goal is that this be a positive experience for the entire family.”

Igliori works with children ranging from 6 years old to young adults in their mid-20s. To “access” a client, he uses different styles of training to determine what captures their interest and works best for them.

“The goal is to teach fitness as a lifestyle not a chore,” Igliori said.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE NONVERBAL

“I really do believe, based on personal experience, that individuals with limited to no speech have superior intelligence,” said Peña, who is currently writing a book on the subject.

In an excerpt from her book, Peña notes that evidence continues to mount that autistic students are often underestimated by traditional intelligence testing.

In 2016, a team of medical researchers published one of the largest studies of so-called “minimally verbal” students. The results of the study challenge the widespread assumption that autistic students who have difficulty with speech must have low intelligence. In a sample of 1,470 minimally verbal autistic children, researchers found that 43 to 52 percent of participants scored higher on their nonverbal scores compared to their verbal scores. In contrast, participants without disabilities achieved similar scores on both parts of the intelligence tests.

In yet another study, alternative assessments were administered to 30 minimally verbal children that focused on “autistic cognitive strengths” using “strength-informed assessments” rather than conventional instruments.

While none of the children in the study could complete the conventional instrument to measure intelligence, at least 26 of the children were able to complete one or more alternative assessments. On one of the assessment instruments, autistic children actually outperformed typically developing children.

Coach David Igliori works with 19-year-old Jack Tindell, who was diagnosed with autism at 2 and a half years old.

SPENCER, COLLIN AND TAKU

For 27-year-old Spencer Teplitz, who was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old, training with Coach David has made a big difference since he started in 2013, said his parents, Paul and Alexis Teplitz of Thousand Oaks.

“The effect that Coach David has had on Spencer is multilayered,” Alexis Teplitz said.

For instance, Spencer lives by the calendar.

“Coach David is entered on Tuesdays and Fridays on the calendar each week, which makes his sessions not only for exercise but also a social engagement,” Alexis noted.

Meetings with Coach David are also beneficial because they are conducted one-on-one. During these sessions, Spencer’s workouts include lifting weights on various fitness machines, running, agility drills, resistance-band workouts, throwing and catching medicine balls and footballs, jumping jacks and multistation course workouts.

“Coach David’s manner and patience, and his skill in teaching Spencer physical activities that he has never done before, and then improving these abilities over time, has led to tremendous gains in Spencer’s self-esteem,” Alexis said.

“That positive attitude has led to a stronger, healthier Spencer,” she said. “He enjoys and looks forward to his workouts, and this has fueled a desire for more fitness activities in other realms.”

Terri Murcia of Westlake Village has also seen a difference in her 16-year-old son, Collin, since he joined the Fitness for Autism gym about four years ago. His workouts typically consist of boxing and weight training.

“Collin absolutely loves boxing with Coach David,”

said Murcia, whose son was diagnosed at age 3 on the autism spectrum. “It has boosted his self-esteem and has made him physically stronger and coordinated. If he’s had a tough day at school, he is able to turn his mood around by going to the gym. It helps calm him down and stay regulated.”

Regulating his mood is especially helpful.

“It is encouraging him to do his best and giving him a positive outlet to release stress and frustration,” Murcia said. “He really enjoys his time with Coach David and has become quite proficient at boxing.”

Chika Johnson, whose 21-year-old son, Taku, was diagnosed with autism at 3 and a half years old, said Coach David offers many fun things for her son to do at the gym.

“And those are his favorite things to do,” said Johnson of Newbury Park, noting that her son particular enjoys throwing a football back and forth and shooting hoops.

Taku also does weight training using machines, free weights and heavy medicine balls, and also performs core training, conditioning exercises, hand-eye coordination activities and stretching.

“Some new exercises aren’t easy for him, but Coach David encourages him to try, always teaches him with correct forms, and he shows him how to do things,” Johnson said. “My son is a visual learner so it really helps him.”

Taku used to do gymnastics, which involved jumping on trampolines, tumbling, doing the pommel horse and other related exercises.

“But when he got bigger, I got a bit afraid that he might get injured with those high-impact exercises, and I thought, who can do those kinds of exercises when he gets older?” Johnson said. “That’s why I switched him to Coach David so he can do exercises for a long time, with good experienced guidance.”

Igliori said he reaps great personal satisfaction from helping clients on the autism spectrum reach their goals.

“If I can make a small bit of an impact on any of my clients that help them through life, I did my job,” he said. “My clients feed my soul. I believe they do more F for me then I do for them.”

“Their conclusion? Minimally verbal autistic children run the risk of being underestimated and ‘wrongly regarded as having little cognitive potential,’ ” Peña said.

Exercise is important for all of us, including those on the autism spectrum, Igliori said.

“It helps build confidence … and gives the clients an event to look forward to,” he said. “Sometimes clients may come in tired or not in good moods, but after a session they smile and are recharged. Like for all of us, exercise boosts endorphins. In addition, for my clients, it is sense of an accomplishment.”

George Christie rehearsing onstage at the Rubicon.

Riding into the limelight Former Hell’s Angel George Christie hits the stage with Outlaw

by Emily Dodi

I

t is a rare and rainy day in Ojai. The showers are a welcome sight but make finding the home of Richard La Plante, playwright and director of Outlaw, George Christie’s one-man show, a little tricky. It also gives one more time to wonder what to expect from Christie, the man who was once called the “Al Capone of Ventura.” He is the stuff of legend, an outlaw who led the Ventura chapter of the Hell’s Angels for 35 years — the longest tenure ever, spanning seven U.S. Presidents. “Most [Hell’s Angels leaders] either quit or are ‘dispatched,’ ” Christie says.

On April 11 and 12, Christie will embark on a bold new adventure when he takes the stage at the Rubicon Theatre in a show about his life in, out and beyond the infamous motorcycle club.

Driving down a quiet country lane, suddenly two men, Christie and La Plante, are spotted in a window.

They’ve been on the lookout and start waving. The scene is unexpectedly warm and welcoming, and it’s the first tip-off that there’s more to Christie than what one might have read in a magazine or seen on the History Channel’s Outlaw Chronicles. True, he’s led what he himself calls a “heavy life,” one that’s been marked by controversy, loss, violence, run-ins with the law and rival outlaws and periods of incarceration — including a year spent in solitary confinement. Yet when you sit with him and share a pot of tea, all preconceived notions and predetermined questions fly out the window like a Harley riding into the sunset. To begin with, the man with a life experience that would crush most people is a gentleman and a natural storyteller.

In Outlaw, Christie tells his story his way. It’s not embellished and it doesn’t serve anyone else’s agenda, such as that of a TV series or even his own memoir, Exile on Front Street. Of publishers and producers, Christie

Matisyahu coming to Discovery Jewish reggae and hip-hop artist to headline this year’s Backyard Bash

by Carl Kozlowski

B

lending the look and culture of Orthodox Judaism with the musical styles of reggae and hip-hop, Matisyahu has cut a distinctive path in the music world since his first hit single, “King Without a Crown,” in 2005. Yet in the last few years, the rapper from Brooklyn by way of upstate New York has made some major changes, altering his beard and growing dreads before more recently adopting a clean-shaven look that seems to draw more attention the more he refuses to discuss it.

His fifth and latest CD, Undercurrent, was released last year and intrigued both fans and newcomers to his sound thanks to the fact that he expanded his sonic palette to incorporate Phish-style jam rock with a live band into an already-complex musical stew. He’ll be bringing it all together on Saturday at Discovery as part of his “The Forest of Faith” tour, and as the headliner at the bowling alley/music venue’s annual Backyard Bash, which also features Hirie, Leilani Wolfgramm, Dirty Rice and other musical acts.

“This record in particular is made with a live band, and the process was born of improvisations from being on the road for the better part of a year,” says Matisyahu, whose real name is

Matthew Paul Miller. “My live show started to take a heavy turn in that direction, so I wanted to make a record that was more in line with what it is I’m actually doing in shows.

“I started by recording the shows leading up to the recording of the record, so we went back to the studio, listened to improvisations, loosely built forms, then recorded just instrumentals of these improvs,” he continues. “Those came out

‘‘

A comfort with different musical genres has been ingrained in Matisyahu since childhood.

His parents were fans of classic rock and the Grateful Dead, while his peers were hip-hop aficionados. As a boy, he acted in plays and musicals via a gifted children’s program and loved showing off his moves at school dances. A passion for freestyling and beatboxing emerged in high school amid a troubled phase in which he was sent to a wilderness camp near Bend, Oregon, to tame a burgeoning drug habit, and paid off when he started performing at open mic nights.

“There was a bit of a culture clash, but in

on average to be seven, eight or nine minutes a track even before I put vocals on it. I took those 65 minutes of music and wrote verses and choruses and added after that. It shows the fans the creative nature of what we do live.”

The fan response has been positive, as the 38-year-old artist has found that the eclecticism of the record connected with fans from all over the world.

some ways the two things were interspersed with each other for a very long time for me,” Matisyahu recalls. “When I started listening to Bob Marley and reggae and heard their many references to the Old Testament, I immediately found the connection between Old Testament and reggae that made sense in my mind.”

As he studied Marley’s lyrics about the importance of finding one’s roots and culture,

Matisyahu embraced Orthodox Judaism. His love of reggae remained, however, because the lyrics spoke to him more than “so-called Jewish music.” He wanted to find a way to combine all of it together in music the way he had in his offstage life, and thus his unique sound was born. His first CD, Youth, went gold. But after marriage, children and a divorce, he felt drawn to a more modern branch of Judaism.

“There was a time where people told me I had to be a purist and just do certain things; and to honor the path I was on, I put down my records and just tried to do one thing,” explains Matisyahu. “That helped me to basically understand in truth the Hasidic lifestyle and the way. Then again, the time came where I said, ‘It’s time for me again to expand my horizons and try to find myself in all this.’ ” “I think that there was a time when I was more concerned with what people thought, and I was focused on trying to get more fans or people to like me,” he continues. “I’d get frustrated or my feelings hurt. But at a certain point I had to make peace with it and said, ‘You’re not going to be happy if you try to make everybody happy.’ I basically do me, do what I know is right. I follow my own heart and do not get discouraged when ✦ people make comments.”

Matisyahu headlines the Backyard Bash, which takes place on Saturday, April 7, starting at 12:30 p.m. at Discovery, 1888 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura. For tickets and more information, call 856-2695 or visit www.discoveryventura.com.

Ventura Friends of the Library presents documentary Ex Libris

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com

A

pril seems to be a celebratory month: from National Sourdough Day on April 1 to the kickoff of baseball season to the local blooming of plum and pear blossom trees to National Bugs Bunny Day on April 30.

While all these activities commence, it might be easy to overlook something really worth celebrating: libraries. In fact, libraries are so important on the national calendar, they get an entire week.

This year National Library Week, chaired by dancer and author extraordinaire Misty Copeland, happens April 8-14.

Locally, Ventura Friends of the Library and the Museum of Ventura County kick off National Library Week with a special screening of Ex Libris: New York Public Library, a documentary by Academy Award-winning director Frederick Wiseman. It’s a free public screening held at the museum on April 8 at 2 p.m.

Charles McDermott, Vice-President of Ventura Friends of the Library, has been instrumental in bringing the film here.

“I saw it in Pasadena when it first came out last October,” he recalled, “and I was just blown away.”

So much so, he was determined to bring this film home.

“I called Wiseman’s film company,” he continued, “and said, ‘Is there a chance of getting it?’

And they said, ‘Yes there was,’ so we were talking about doing it at Cinemark for a paid audience, but it turned out to be much, much easier to work out a free public screening.”

24 —

— April 5, 2018

Turns out it was as simple as buying the Blu-ray. “We worked it out with the film studio and as far as Zipporah Films knows, this is the tri-county premiere,” McDermott noted.

In Ex Libris, McDermott believes that director Wiseman is making two important points.

“First of all, I think you’re absolutely aware that the library is probably the most democratic of all institutions,” he stated. “You have people of every race and every creed of every single age of every social economic bracket.”

The second point is that libraries, like the societies in which they exist, are changing with the times: “Wiseman is noting the sea change that all libraries are going through right now. They’re getting rid of the emphasis on books and moving into a digital age.”

In fact, as McDermott observed, Ex Libris is a film less about books and more about people. “The one thing that comes across in the film is that libraries are not about books,” he said. “Libraries are about people. The emphasis is on providing information for people.”

Ex Libris, which is more than three hours long, will include an intermission with wine, cheese and coffee.

Ex Libris will be screened on Sunday, April 8, at 2 p.m. at the Museum of Ventura County, 100 E. Main St., Ventura, and on Sunday, April 15, at 1 p.m. at the Topping Room of E.P. Foster Library, 651 E. Main St., Ventura. Both screenings are free. For more information, visit venturafriendsofthelibrary.org.

Ready Player One In a world of its own

by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Ready Player One Directed by Steven Spielberg Starring: Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Mark Rylance Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence, bloody images, some suggestive material, partial nudity and language.

2 hr. 20 min.

I

t’s important to note that the following observations come from a writer who has peacefully coexisted with, but skillfully avoided, video games. I worked in a Sega Center arcade as a college sophomore, and sustained some PTSD not just from the debilitating cacophony but from trying to urge 280-pound brutes not to lean on the pinball machines. That all kind of killed the virtual thrill for me. Yet, I saw Ready Player One through what I assure you were objective eyes.

For one, it’s a Steven Spielberg film, which automatically commands attention. For another, the best-selling novel of the same name has been a part of the fanboy zeitgeist for seven years. The book’s author, Ernest Clines, adapted the script with Zak Penn. Special-effects genius Industrial Light and Magic created the look of a stark future and the eye-popping virtual universe.

Stark is a mild description. The

‘‘

film’s real-world Columbus, Ohio, 2045, is a festering, squalid pile of used mobile homes called The Stacks. Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan, X-Men: Apocalypse) and others not so fortunate populate the towers of junk in this bleak, dystopian landscape. The residents all seek relief from their grim existence by assuming avatars and entering a virtual world called OASIS. At the outset, it’s a complicated story, so I’ll break it down: Wade, as his avatar Parzival, enters OASIS with others such as the tough Art3mis (Olivia Cooke, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl). They join in a massive treasure hunt to find three keys that will lead them to an Easter egg

and music, which isn’t a bad thing, entirely. As it was with the 1960s, obsession with the ’80s is a fad in and of itself. Get ready for references to Back to the Future, Beetlejuice, Buckaroo Bonzai and, most integral to the plot, The Shining.

The music varies: Joan Jett; Earth, Wind and Fire; and Twisted Sister are as essential to the storytelling as the dialogue, as are the other dated pop-culture touchstones. You’ll have to see it twice to absorb all of them.

Behind the camera, Spielberg, an ’80s icon himself, does not disappoint. All the elements are here: good guys versus bad guys, rich versus poor, girl meets boy. (Wade’s Parzival and Art3mis, actually named Samantha, hit it off.) There’s a moral, too: that you should put down those game controls and get the hell outside once in a while, to experience what really exists.

For those not versed in the world of gaming, think of Ready Player One as a state-of-the-art, fun time at the movies, if not an all-out assault on the senses, visual and auditory.

The sound waves batter you in your seat and rattle the walls.

Is it escapism? Yes. It’s absolutely awe-inspiring. And why not? With self-driving cars already getting into accidents and a patch of plastic trash the size of Mexico floating in the Pacific Ocean, even those of us who will never be mistaken for gamers need to flee what is real, from time to time. ♦

All the elements are here: good guys versus bad guys, rich versus poor, girl meets boy. left by the world’s creator, the late James Halliday (Oscar winner Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies). The finder of the egg inherits OASIS and all its virtual universe. A dark business concern, Innovative Online Industries (IOI), wants OASIS for itself.

Its cunning, craven CEO, Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn, Bloodline), assumes an avatar that looks like Don Draper on steroids (apologies to Jon Hamm), and plows into the hunt himself.

The action in both the real-life, double-wide/RV ghetto and OASIS is augmented by endless 1980s trivia

IN GOOD TASTE

The Art and Craft of Casa Barranca Winery

by Michael Cervin Casa Barranca 208 E. Ojai Ave. • Ojai 640-1255

T

here’s a misperception about organic wine — that it’s a flimsy, watery wine with no flavor. The good news is that the aforementioned perception is not true.

The better news is that Casa Barranca’s tasting room in Ojai they can prove it to you.

Founded in 2001, Casa Barranca uses organically grown grapes farmed in both Santa Barbara and Paso Robles to make its wines. These wines that come from certified organic vineyards are clearly labeled as USDA organic. But also important is that many vineyards farm organically but don’t have the expensive and time-consuming certification, meaning that they are still farming with organic practices but they don’t jump through the certification hoops.

The main draw of organic wines is the very limited use of sulfites in the wines, typically added to stabilize and preserve a wine for the future. Organic farming also treats the vineyard and land differently, eschewing chemical fertilizers and herbicides.

“People are actively looking for organic wines,” tasting room manager Alysia Dewar told me on a recent visit. Casa Barranca only makes about 2,500 cases so it is small-case production, typically only a few hundred cases of each wine. There are a handful of restaurants in Ojai that carry the wines; aside from that you won’t find them unless you visit the tasting room located in the Arcade.

— April 5, 2018

Their Arts and Crafts-themed tasting room, reflecting the Green & Green-designed winery facility (Greene & Greene were masters of the architectural design of the Arts and Crafts movement in the early part of the 20th century) is a long narrow space with a wood tasting bar, couches near the front and freestanding tables at the back.

Tasting fee is $15 for five wines but that fee is waived with the purchase of two bottles. Or just get a glass of wine, which will range from $9 to $15, and relax while people-watching on Ojai Avenue. Cheese and crackers are available on site to purchase, or you are welcome to bring in food, and bring in your dog for that matter. Rotating local art hugs the walls and there are a handful of gift items.

Representative of what is poured, the following wines, all with a food-friendly acidity, might cause you to rethink the idea of organic wine.

2016 sauvignon blanc: Made with organic grapes, this offers a floral nose, which leads to lemon-lime, kefir, kiwi and honeysuckle notes. It avoids typical grassy flavors and instead hints at more tropical summer fruits.

2016 merlot: Made from USDA-certified organic grapes, this merlot is a soft wine with mild tannins and berry and jammy notes without being overly fruity. You’ll find boysenberry, blackberry, side notes of blueberry and red raspberry compote.

2015 pinot noir: From organic grapes grown in the Santa Rita Hills, there is an earthiness, to this wine, slight raspberry with pepper spice, soft tannins and ♦ great acidity.

Finney’s German pretzel served with a trio of delicious sauces: spicy mustard, beer cheese and caramel.

Another pub grub favorite in Westlake

by Nancy Lackey Shaffer

Finney’s Crafthouse and Kitchen 982 S. Westlake Blvd., Westlake Village 805-230-9950 www.finneyscrafthouse.com $11-30

rews, burgers, Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflower and a whole bunch of craft cocktails — yes, Finney’s is yet another gastropub to offer diners “upscale” cuisine in a “casual” atmosphere. And it fits the mold to a tee. Chalkboard menu? Check.

Locally sourced, seasonal ingredients? Rustic wood, black leather and brick? Check, check, check. The concept is hardly original. But if the food is tasty and the drinks are well-prepared, it hardly matters.

Trends come and go, but good food is always in vogue, and at Finney’s, that’s exactly what you get.

Gastropubs are intended to be casual dining, and Finney’s is certainly both stylish and unfussy.

With that in mind, the establishment is particularly welcoming to children — we saw several families with kids of all ages there — and even offers a nice, large, covered patio where patrons can bring their pups. The overall vibe is friendly and forgiving, and the seating is surprisingly comfortable, with plenty of elbow room — definitely a place you wouldn’t mind hanging out for a while with the family in tow. With

seven HDTVs, it’s a great place to catch a game, too.

Finney’s boasts 30 taps, so there are plenty of beer options for all palates, from malty browns to earthy wheats and light blondes.

One third of the menu is devoted to IPAs (hopheads, take note) and a few taps are reserved for the less easily categorized. You might find a fruit beer, sour ale, imperial stout or other interesting option in the mix.

The wine list isn’t bad — around 18 wines, mostly the usual suspects (Sanford, Babcock, Rodney Strong), with a few unknowns (Wayne Gretzky Estates?) to keep the discerning drinker on his or her toes. Naturally, the full bar offers its own menu of handcrafted cocktails. A crisp, cold pint of Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider was all we ended up ordering, but there was much to tempt us.

The appetizer list alone would be worth a trip, and includes such items as chicken and waffle bites, nachos, minibratwursts and fried dill pickles. We ventured into slightly healthier territory with the crispy Brussels sprouts, which are roasted with figs, sesame almond furikake and tamarind lime. These were fantastic and went down like popcorn — even the kids partook — and there wasn’t a single overcooked sprout in the batch. The German pretzel was also good (and very pretty) but the star here was the trio of sauces — sweet mustard, beer cheese and caramel — that came with it. Hearty portions were offered for each.

My husband ordered the Finney

Burger, made with a blend of chuck, hanger steak and brisket. He was impressed: The sandwich was tender, juicy, perfectly pink and a bit messy to eat — exactly as it should be. The pickled onions were a nice touch. My young son ordered the sliders, which are essentially smaller versions of the original burger, and care was clearly taken to keep them just as juicy and well-seasoned.

The pepperoni flatbread pizza had a nice chew, a tangy sauce and quality meat. And by the way, the French fries were great.

The mahi mahi tacos, on the other hand, were not my favorite.

The fish was light and tender, the chili garlic sauce was spicy and flavorful, and Finney’s doesn’t skimp on the avocado. But the rubbery tortillas and stale chips on the side really took away from the dish. Next time, I’m sticking with a burger or perhaps one of the elaborate and delicious-sounding salads.

Our bellies were too full to partake of the dessert menu, but that might have been a mistake. With Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches and churros available, I might save some room next time.

And I do hope there is a next time.

Yes, we’ve got a ton of gastropubs in this county, but if the burgers (and other offerings) are delicious and the taps are top-notch, I say, go for it. Finney’s excellent quality will help ensure that the gourmet pub grub trend doesn’t go away any ♦ time soon.

‘‘

I’ve noticed that the more I like a guy the more nervous I get and the louder, more irreverent and more inappropriate I become. I’m actually a really sweet girl. How can I stop doing this?

— Unintentionally Brash Your cocktail party conversation shouldn’t translate to “I mean, come on … do I really seem like a danger to myself and society?!”

To calm down so you can talk like a person instead of a scary person, it helps to understand — as I explain in my new “science-help” book, Unf*ckology” — that “emotions aren’t just thinky things. They have a basis in the body. For example, in the case of fear, your heart pounds, you breathe faster and adrenaline surges — whether what you’re afraid of is physical death or just, say, dying onstage while giving a talk — as you watch 43 people simultaneously yawn and pull out their phone.

The human brain is a marvel, but we can take advantage of how it’s also about as easily tricked as my dog. Take that bodily reaction of fear — pounding heart and all — which also happens to be the bodily reaction of being excited. Research

Millennials and post millennials (generally speaking) are the most overprotected, overparented generations ever.

The customer is always frightened

by Harvard Business School’s Alison Wood Brooks finds that you can “reappraise” your fear as excitement — by repeatedly saying aloud to yourself, “I am excited” (to talk with some guy, for example) — and actually shift yourself from a “ ‘threat’ mind-set” to an “ ‘opportunity’ mind-set.”

Also, assuming the current weather isn’t “nuclear holocaust with a chance of rain,” some dude you’re flirting with probably isn’t the last man on the continent.

Keeping that in mind, reframe your interaction as a mere opportunity for something to happen with him — and an opportunity to figure out whether it’s a good idea.

You do that not by selling yourself like it’s 4:56 p.m. on Sunday at a yard sale but by asking him about himself. Counterintuitively, you’ll probably be at your most attractive by leaving a man guessing about you — as opposed to leaping to conclusions, like that you were the little girl who beheaded all the ♦ other little girls’ Barbies.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Eighty-three-year-old author Harlan Ellison has had a long and successful career. In the course of publishing hundreds of literary works in seven different genres, he has won numerous awards. But when he was in his 30s, there was an interruption in the upward arc of his career. The film production company Walt Disney Studios hired him as a writer.

During his first day on the job, Roy Disney overheard Ellison joking with a co-worker about using Disney characters in an animated pornographic movie.

Ellison was fired on the spot. I am by no means predicting a comparable event in your life, Aries. On the contrary. By giving you this heads-up, I’m hoping you’ll be scrupulous and adroit in how you act in the early stages of a new project — so scrupulous and adroit that you will sail on to the next stages.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Are you an evolving Taurus or an unevolving Taurus? Are you an aspiring master of gradual, incremental progress or a complacent excuse-maker who secretly welcomes inertia? Will the theme of your next social media post be “The Smart Art of Compromise” or “The Stingy Glory of Stubbornness”? I’m hoping you will opt for the former rather than the latter in each of the three choices I just offered. Your behavior in the coming weeks will be pivotal in your long-term ability to animate your highest self and avoid lapsing into your mediocre self.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

If you fly in a passenger jet from New York to London, the trip usually takes more than six hours. But on Jan. 8, 2015, a powerful jet stream surging across the North Atlantic reduced that time significantly.

With the wind’s extra push, several flights completed the trip in five hours and 20 minutes. I suspect

30 —

— April 5, 2018

by rob brezsny

you’ll have comparable assistance in the course of your upcoming journeys and projects, Gemini. You’ll feel like the wind is at your back.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Actor Keanu Reeves’ career ascended to a higher level when he appeared as a lead character in the film Speed. It was the first time he had been a headliner in a big-budget production. But he turned down an offer to reprise his starring role in the sequel, Speed 2. Instead he toured with his grunge band Dogstar and played the role of Hamlet in a production staged by a local theater company in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I admire him for being motivated more by love and passion than by fame and fortune. In my estimation, Cancerian, you face a choice that in some ways resembles Keanu’s, but in other ways doesn’t. You shouldn’t automatically assume that what your ego craves is opposed to what your heart yearns for and your soul needs.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

A Leo sculptor I know is working on a 40-foot-long statue of a lion. Another Leo friend borrowed $30,000 to build a recording studio in her garage so she can pursue her quixotic dream of a music career. Of my other Leo acquaintances, one is writing a memoir of her time as a black-market orchid smuggler, another just did four sky dives in three days, and another embarked on a long-postponed pilgrimage to Slovenia, land of her ancestors. What about you?

Are there any breathtaking challenges or smart gambles you’re considering? I trust you can surf the same astrological wave.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

How sexy is it possible for you to be? I’m referring to authentic soul-stirring sexiness, not the contrived,

glitzy, counterfeit version. I’m alluding to the irresistible magnetism that wells up in you when you tap in to your core self and summon a reverent devotion to your life’s mission. However sexy it is possible for you to be, Virgo, I suggest you unleash that magic in the coming weeks. It’s the most reliable strategy for attracting the spiritual experiences and material resources and psychological support you need.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

According to my analysis of the cosmic omens, your impact is rising. You’re gaining influence. More people are tuning in to what you have to offer. And yet your stress levels also seem to be increasing. Why is that? Do you assume that having more power requires you to endure higher tension? Do you unconsciously believe that being more worried is the price of being more responsible? If so, banish that nonsense. The truth is this: The best way to manage your growing clout is to relax into it.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

The immediate future will challenge you to revisit several fundamental Scorpio struggles. For best results, welcome these seeming intrusions as blessings and opportunities, and follow these guidelines: 1. Your control over external circumstances will increase in direct proportion to your control over your inner demons. 2. Your ability to do what you want will thrive to the degree that you stop focusing on what you don’t want. 3. Your skill at regulating and triumphing over chaos will be invincible if you’re not engrossed in blaming others.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

I’m about to say things that sound extraordinary.

And it’s possible that they are in fact a bit overblown.

But even if that’s the case, I trust that there is a core

of truth in them. So rejoice in their oracular radiance.

First, if you have been hoping for a miracle cure, the next four weeks will be a time when you’re more likely than usual to find it or generate it. Second, if you have fantasized about getting help to address a seemingly irremediable problem, asking aggressively for that help now will lead to at least a partial fix. Third, if you have wondered whether you could ever retrieve a lost or missing part of your soul, the odds are more in your favor than they’ve been in a long time.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The French government defines books as an “essential good,” along with water, bread and electricity. Would you add anything to that list of life’s basics? Companionship? Stories? Deep sleep?

Pleasurable exercise and movement? Once you identify your “essential goods,” I invite you to raise the level of reverence and care you give them. Take an oath to treat them as holy treasures. Boost your determination and ability to get all you need of their blessings. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to enhance your appreciation of the fundamentals you sometimes take for granted.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Buckingham Palace is the home and office of the Queen of England. It has been the main royal residence since Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837.

But in earlier times, the site served other purposes.

The 17th-century English lawyer Clement Walker described the building occupying that land as a brothel, a hotbed of “debauchery.” Before that the space was a mulberry garden where silkworms turned mulberry leaves into raw material for silk fabrics. I see the potential for an almost equally dramatic transformation of a certain place in your

life, Aquarius. Start dreaming and scheming about the possibilities.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Poet Carolyn Forché is a role model for how to leave one’s comfort zone. In her early career, she earned writing degrees at placid universities near her childhood home in the American Midwest. Her first book mined material about her family; its first poem is addressed to her grandmother. But then she relocated to El Salvador, where she served as a human rights advocate during that country’s civil war.

Later she lived and wrote in Lebanon at the height of its political strife. Her drive to expand her range of experience invigorated her poetry and widened her audience. Would you consider drawing inspiration from Forché in the coming weeks and months, Pisces? I don’t necessarily recommend quite so dramatic a departure for you, but even a mild version will be well rewarded.

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 recorderís 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.

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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08002097-15-4.
