OPINION Editorial

Our precious resource With the torrential downpours of last week, Ventura and Ojai residents may feel that they can finally relax a bit about the water they use. Lake Casitas, the main water supply for West County residents, hovering at less than 40 percent capacity has kept locals not only watching their own water use, but also stirring heated debates over housing construction, citing the point that there wouldn’t be enough water for everyone. There is, however, enough fear of running out that conservation must be a constant in the region.

As of March 27, Casitas Municipal Water District reports that the lake is now at 35.7 percent capacity with a 10-day forecast of blue skies. Last year at this time, news reports showed a fluctuation due to storms from 35 percent to 42 percent. In 2016, 42 percent was considered the lowest since 1967. While the rain will bring green hills, surely we are far from a recovery where we can indulge in haphazard water consumption. And for the Mediterranean climate of California, our habits have not really ever been all that prudent.

Going about our routine lives, it’s important that we grasp how much water each of us uses. One way to start: Discuss the water bill with your kids and experiment with water use by measuring how much water is used for different lengths of showers. It’s not a tactic in fear-mongering but rather for being prepared. What can one person get done in a four-minute shower? Or consider using only one gal-

Letters Not a solution

“J

apan is a country of more than 127 million people, but it rarely sees more than 10 gun deaths a year.” — Chris Weller, Feb. 15, 2018, Business Insider “According to the CDC, there were 33,636 deaths due to firearms in 2013.” (IN THE UNITED STATES) Paul Moomjean apparently agrees with what many Second Amendment supporters have repeatedly asserted, that it is sacrosanct, obviously more important than “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” and who seem oblivious to the egregious killing of innocents of any age as long as we all support “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

His solution to the outrageous numbers of shooting deaths in America: “At this point in our society, we must fund police officers and security guards at schools just as we do at airports, malls and other places where terrorist attacks could occur.”

Furthermore, I fail to understand what millions of guns in the hands of the population, no matter their age, mental health or misguided intentions, have to do with “a well regulat-

lon of water to wash five dishes. Can you do it? What would happen, if for each minute the water runs, we had to give up something we liked? Perhaps that would curtail unnecessary use. For instance, the standard in apartments was a rate built into the rent. With new construction in many cases each unit has its own water meter. Undoubtedly, that will give such renters perspective.

At the other end of that spectrum are business owners and farmers who have their own issues with health, safety and viability that come with water use; but when it comes to the bottom line, it would seem that cutting costs is top priority for business owners. While we can focus on further regulating these operations, being mindful of our own use might be the best way to go.

2018 does not look promising for a deluge making its way to Casitas, but we can try and make the most of conservation efforts by adjusting our perspective on them. It’s not so much about whether the worst-case scenario will happen, but about being prepared for it just in case. It’s about understanding that we are a community working together not only to meet the needs of the people that live here, but also of our children and the families they may want to have and live here as well. We are a population that grows inherently and therefore we must adjust our habits to be able to share it with future generations.

ed militia.” The solution to random gun violence is clearly demonstrated by Japan, which radically limits gun ownership, resulting in almost no gun deaths in that country. 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 that any person’s right to own deadly weapons. More “good guys with guns” is not a solution.

Lawrence Berk Ventura

Thoughts and prayers Following the shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School there was another backlash to expressions that included “thoughts and prayers.” I think Henri Nouwen spoke most eloquently on prayers.

Nouwen said, “Prayer and action can never be seen as contradictory or mutually exclusive. Prayer without action grows into powerless pietism, and action without prayer degenerates into questionable manipulation.”

So our prayers should not be absent action - and our action should not be absent prayers. One of the questions therefore is “what action?”

I am mostly at a loss to offer suggestions — yet I know that we MUST respond, and that our response MUST change from our previous

responses, for we have witnessed the result from those responses and we weep yet again.

I am certain our response must involve love, and must reflect our recognition of the sacredness of all human life, without exception or precondition.

When it comes to gun regulations — while by no means the only area we need to focus on, while we may need to move with caution — we must absolutely not allow that caution to paralyze us.

I am certain our response need not include arming our teachers or further stigmatizing mental health issues or limiting our assignment of the blame to the NRA or any other group or organization.

What we are encountering did not materialize overnight, and we would be faulty to expect a singular action to remove the possibility that we will again witness the loss of sacred life. Therefore, we must be prepared for our response to require additional action.

Perhaps most importantly, we must not let our previous failures on this issue to allow us to view this as an unsolvable issue. Rather our deeply divided nation must address this by first looking inward, hold back from finger pointing; and as individuals and as a nation, move forward with action that reflects our shared recognition of the sacredness of all human life.

Tariff sheriff

Trade war fears stir “anxiety” in Ventura County

by Jim Medina

W

ith the Trump administration threatening to expand trade tariffs beyond steel and aluminum — primarily to punish China — America faces a “lose-lose situation” if foreign trade partners retaliate, according to a CSU, Channel Islands, economist.

Drilled down to Ventura County, agriculture products exported through the Port of Hueneme and high-tech companies with overseas operations would be among the obvious targets for countries seeking payback, professor Sung Won Sohn said.

“China could come in two ways. It could be outright retaliation,” said Sohn, who was attending the International Atlantic Economic Conference in London, “but what I’m more concerned about is non-tariff barriers.” For example, China could hold up delivery of perishable fruit because of a misspelling on a customs sheet.

Last week, trade war fears stemmed from the Port of Hueneme to Wall Street, where Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 700 points Thursday, March 22, after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on $60 billion in Chinese goods for what he said was the theft of American technology. Stocks rebounded slightly Friday.

At the Port of Hueneme, business is continuing as usual for now, said Kristin Decas, CEO and Port Director. “But, of course, customers are keeping an eye on what’s happening — will it start touching their commodities?” she added. “That becomes the question. There is more of a

watchdog-type approach — what’s going to happen next?”

Dealing mainly in automobile imports and agriculture imports and exports, the Port of Hueneme, which handles over $9 billion in cargo a year, is generally insulated from fallout over American steel and aluminum tariffs, Decas said. She agrees with Sohn, however, that potential foreign retaliation is a bigger concern.

“It creates some questions in the market. People ask me all the time — What does it mean? What does it mean?” she said. “People are asking a lot of questions, triggering a discussion and creating anxiety.”

China, a top trading partner with the Port of Hueneme, responded to Trump’s proposed crackdown by threatening to impose a 15 percent tariff on 120 American products, including fresh fruit and wine.

The Trump administration’s strategy is to create economic confusion to help reduce American trade deficits with other countries, which might make deals favorable to the U.S. to win exemptions from proposed tariffs, Sohn said.

“The whole idea is deliberate uncertainty, rather than just spelling out in black and white, here are the things you have to do: A, B, C and D,” he said. “That’s not what the Trump administration wants.”

Whether the White House strategy works won’t be known for a year or longer, Sohn added.

“If the trade war spreads, the average person should worry because that’s a lose-lose situation for everyone,” he said. “We would see prices going up. There could be jobs lost in America. And this would be the worst possible situation. We might see the trade deficit decline, not by trading more but trading less.” ✦

Eye on the Environment | Adjusting the sprinklers

by David Goldstein People buy automatic sprinkler systems not just to save time, but also to prevent accidental over-watering. Both goals are best accomplished with a system that is not just automatic but also smart. Smart systems sense moisture or receive weather information through wireless networks and adjust on a daily basis.

Functioning correctly, smart automatic sprinkler systems are impressive water saving devices. Water agency studies show that smart irrigation controllers alone can reduce your water bill up to 40 percent.

Weather-based “smart controllers” are available for residential or commercial use from local landscape and irrigation companies.

Simple controllers, costing less than $300, use moisture sensors. More sophisticated devices,

6—

— March 29, 2018

capable of adjusting to “June gloom” in the morning and bright sunlight in the afternoon, and sensitive to the particular types of landscape needing water in each zone of your garden, can cost over $700. For a monthly fee, you can even get automatic sprinkler controllers linked to a satellite with weather data from a station near your home.

Some water providers subsidize customers’ purchases of smart irrigation controllers. For example, the Casitas Municipal Water District is offering up to $250 rebates for qualifying irrigation controllers. Camrosa Water District offers rebates up to $100. Ventura Water has complete subsidies for a limited range of controller products.

“Weather based” irrigation systems are just one of the tools people can use to reduce water waste. Some water providers also offer

free shower heads, faucet aerators and replacement toilet flappers, along with dye to put in your tank so you can determine if you need a replacement flapper. Casitas even offers subsidies for turf removal and for low-waterusing commercial and residential washers and toilets. Camrosa offers classes on irrigation design, landscape planning and other topics.

With all this promotion of technologies to conserve water, let’s not forget the most basic technological “fixes.” Check for leaks, repair broken sprinkler heads and manually reset controllers after a power outage. After outages, many sprinkler systems default to factory settings, watering 10 minutes per day every day, even when it’s raining.

For full Eye on the Environment go to vcreporter.com.

While any old dog can be called man’s best friend, it takes a special breed to be a hero, too.

The Dr. Richard Grossman Community Foundation has donated $220,000 to California State University, Channel Islands, benefiting services offered to student veterans.

Of the grant, $150,000 will be given to the CSUCI Veteran Affairs Program, as well as $50,000 to establish a service dog program for veterans with post-traumatic stress. The remaining $20,000 will go toward procuring two campus therapy dogs from the New Life K-9s training facility in San Luis Obispo.

It costs roughly $10,000 for each individual therapy dog to be trained, says Assistant Director for Veterans Affairs Program Jay Derrico.

“Our Foundation has been looking for ways to support our local veteran community for several years,” said Elizabeth Grossman. “The Veterans Affairs effort at CSUCI is the perfect match.

Our late board member, Lane Weitzman, was a veteran and Dr. Grossman served in the Naval Reserve. Supporting veterans through education is something that resonates with us.”

The names have already been chosen for the two therapy dogs: “Doc” after Richard Grossman, and “Lon” for Lon Morton, who served on both the CSUCI Foundation Board and the Grossman Community Foundation Board.

STOMACH VIRUS CASES ON THE RISE ACROSS COUNTY

Yes, it might be something you ate, if you’re feeling the tell-tale symptoms of giardiasis (jee-arDEE-uh-sis), and you wouldn’t be alone. Cases of the viral infection are on the rise in Thousand Oaks and officials have yet to find the source.

Giardiasis is a diarrheal illness caused by the parasite Giardia lamblia, which that can be procured via water or food. For some, there are no symptoms, but others may experience “diarrhea that smells especially bad, gas, nausea, cramps, vomiting and weight loss,” according to Ventura County Public Health.

The Public Health department is asking that anyone who has eaten at a Thousand Oaks restaurant after Jan. 1, 2018,and is experiencing at least two of the above listed symptoms but also including fatigue, bloating, or anorexia, to contact a health care provider for testing.

Giardiasis can be passed via hand contact with food and can live in the body for up to six weeks.

Remembering John Chapman “Chappy” Morris Jr.

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

J

ohn Chapman Morris Jr. was known as Chappy to his friends, family and community, and on Monday, April 2, at a reception on the St. Bonaventure High School football field, they will all come together to say one final goodbye.

Morris passed away on March 16 at the age of 56 and is survived by wife Lori Farrell Morris, daughters Sydney Anne and Margaret Rose Morris, sisters Laurie Smith and Tina Thomson, and his brother, Bill Morris.

Morris was a prominent member of the community and a thirdgeneration Ventura County business owner, a third-generation member of the Rancheros Visitadores and Rancheros Adolfo riding groups as a skilled horseman, and a fifth-generation Ventura County resident through his parents, the late John Chapman Morris and Geraldine Doud Morris, his mother a descendant of the McGrath family. He was an avid sportsman as well, playing football for Ventura College before transferring to the University of Southern California to pursue a business degree within the entrepreneurship program.

Using his credentials, Chappy became president of the family business, William L. Morris Chevrolet in Fillmore. Locals would recognize him as the happy-go-lucky face of the dealership from his radio and television ads as he exclaimed, “Get happy with Chappy.”

His friends remember him as a people person, acting as the hub through which a wide variety of people connected.

“He’s the guy that reached out to everybody, someone that would listen to everybody,” said Mark Hartley, music manager and friend of Morris for over a decade, riding with him as a fellow Ranchero. “He was someone that had a great amount of energy that he put back into our community.”

Rancher Bert Lamb remembers Morris as being “unable to help

himself” from helping others, reaching out to offer a hand or simply bringing a smile to someone’s face with a joke.

“It was how he operated daily from the moment he woke up; it never stopped,” said Lamb. “I had to step back and let him do what he was built and loved to do; he got so much joy out of it.”

Morris’ longtime friend Steve Barnard, CEO of Mission Produce in Oxnard, echoed the sentiment, saying that Morris was gregarious.

“I think Chappy gave it 100 percent in everything he did,” said Barnard. “He had an unbelievable imagination, a great, unbelievable sense of humor, and was really fun to be around.”

His wife, Lori, says that his outgoing nature touched people in many walks of life, some she’s only learning of now. Lori says that while picking up flowers for the service, she was told that Chappy had personally provided a vehicle for a local business when all it had was a rental, going out of his way to assist the family-owned company.

For all of the love he showed to his fellow man, says Lori, it was shown at home, too.

“For me and my daughters, he was the most loving husband and father and he told us every day, multiple times,” said Lori. “To me, that’s what we’re holding on to right now, that everything he did was out of love; he had the biggest heart in the whole wide world, and we’re seeing that even more so now with all the people he was connected with, personally.”

A funeral mass will be held at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, 3175 Telegraph Road in Ventura on Monday, April 2, at 11 a.m., followed by a reception on the adjacent football field at St. Bonaventure High School.

The family is asking that, in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to the Health Care Foundation for Ventura County Inc. for the benefit of the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Ventura County Medical Center, 300 Hillmont Ave., Ventura, in memory of Chap Morris. F

“This wasn’t my first fire,” Stroud said, “so I tried to keep everyone focused.” As they waited and watched, they began to organize how to evacuate the birds. Though they’d been working on an evacuation plan for months, there was no way to know what to do in this situation with the dual threat of fire and deadly air quality. Birds are especially sensitive to particulates in the air, and around 11 a.m.

Stroud and Chouinard decided to evacuate because the air quality was quickly becoming deadly as smoke filled the valley.

W

hen the Thomas Fire swept through the Ojai Valley in December of 2017, Kim Stroud, founder and Director of the Ojai Raptor Center, and the Center’s supervisors — Lizzy Brewer Chouinard and Jaclyn DeSantis — watched nervously as the flames raged closer and closer to the center and the wildlife they care for, teach with and rehabilitate for release back into nature.

“Our main goals are rehabilitation and education,” Chouinard said. The Ojai Raptor Center takes in, heals and retrains mainly raptors — birds of prey like owls, hawks, eagles, vultures, kites, ospreys or falcons — in order to release them back into the wild. If the birds are unreleasable, they are kept as education ambassadors for the almost weekly programs the center presents in schools and for the public. Some arrived at the center through people who found adult birds — usually injured or sick — and cared enough to bring them there. Some arrived as orphaned babies needing fostering and training in order to survive in their natural habitats. “We have a lot of imprinted education birds — birds that people tried to raise as babies and then didn’t recognize their own species so they can’t hunt or mate.”

But the center will take in any wildlife, and has housed large mammals like mountain lions or bears or smaller creatures such as snakes, turtles or raccoons.

When the fire broke out on Dec. 4, 2017, only birds were living at the center.

Thankfully, December isn’t nesting season, so the center wasn’t overflowing with orphaned baby birds, and the forests weren’t populated with nests full of babies. Raptors are monogamous for life and very territorial. Had the fire happened during nesting season, the impact would have been more disastrous because some birds would have refused to leave their territories.

That early December morning, Stroud, Chouinard and DeSantis were monitoring the fast-moving fire from their homes. At 3 a.m. Chouinard saw it was getting very close to the center and tried to call Stroud.

But the fire was also creeping dangerously close to Stroud’s house. Chouinard couldn’t reach her, and by mid-morning all cell phone reception in Ventura had been lost. Chouinard, however, could use her husband’s satellite phone to tell Stroud in Ojai, “I’m going to come in.”

By that time, the fire had already reached Casitas Springs on Highway 33, about 5 miles away from the center. For Chouinard it was a tense, surreal drive because some of the hills around the highway were

DAVE KOZ & FRIENDS SUMMER HORNS TOUR

Ojai by Design: Fine Architecture of the Ojai Valley,

by Craig Walker

by Leslie A. Westbrook leslieawestbrook@gmail.com

W

e all know that Ojai is a gem of a town, with visible architectural delights as well as many others tucked into all manner of nooks, crevices and winding roads. Some are obvious and readily accessible to one and all, such as downtown Ojai’s pergola, arcade, post office and St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel (now home to the Ojai Valley Museum), designed by Mead and Requa. Others are private retreats that, until now, have not been revealed to the general public.

Even City Hall (not featured in this tome) is an architectural treat that I discovered for the first time while picking up a copy of the recently released Ojai

By Design: Fine Architecture of the Ojai Valley.. The Ojai City Arts Commission and Ojai Valley Museum are the forces behind this effort.

The thoughtfully designed, 78-page paperback book begins with a marvelous and informative forward by Craig Walker. Walker, who writes with approachable authority, was the perfect author for this book. Not only is he a member of the Society of Architectural Historians, Southern California Chapter, he actually grew up in one of the stunning modernist houses featured in the book. (It was designed by his father, Rodney Walker.) The author profiles 23 buildings that were thoughtfully selected, putting each architect in historical context, which includes citing other examples of his or her work in Southern California.

Buildings by important noteworthy 20th-century architects run the gamut, and include works

by Julia Morgan (of Hearst Castle fame), George Washington Smith (Montecito’s Casa del Herrero) and well-known modernist Richard Neutra (Kronish House, Beverly Hills). Toss in Reginald Johnson, Lutah Marie Riggs and Carleton Winslow (this trio did a lot of Santa Barbara homes as well) and you get the picture. But lesser-known architects of importance are also featured, and styles range from Queen Anne to Spanish Colonial Revival to mid-century modern.

Interestingly, a number of important designs included were for Ojai’s spiritual destinations, including Meditation Mount (1977); Pine Cottage, the former home of philosopher J. Krishnamurti (now the Krishnamurti Library); and the Krotona Institute of Theosophy (1924).

It makes sense that many of these “cathedrals” of architecture invite appreciation and contemplation. There’s also the Spanish Colonial Revival-style Ojai Presbyterian Church (1930) by Carleton Winslow on Foothill Road, which still welcomes worshippers. The earliest example cited is a former Ojai Presbyterian Church (1884), presently inhabited by Bryon Katie.

There are nods to patrons as well. Glass industrialist Edward Drummond Libbey (Libbey Bowl is named after him) played a vital role in creating Ojai’s downtown business district, which set the tone for the town’s feel as well as providing inspiration for subsequent buildings in the valley. His own Craftsman-style “hunting

lodge,” designed by Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey (1909), is profiled. Thanks to other wealthy patrons who created Ojai retreats, we get to peek inside homes and view exteriors such as the Ford Estate, a 1920 mansion designed by noted African American Los Angeles architect Paul Revere Williams.

Edward Libbey, as Walker notes in his forward on the glass manufacturer’s timeless downtown fingerprint, might have been the most influential of them all: “Libbey’s impressive new civic center, with subsequent additions, succeeded in inspiring the town’s citizens to continue beautifying their

Kant (2018 on Nuclear Blast), its first new album in five years.

Before Jourgensen, a showman with commanding stage presence, had even emerged, a slowed-down warped and morphed video of Trump repeating “Make American great again” played while the crowd yelled.

Jourgensen, wearing a top hat above signature long and dark dreadlocks, furry vest and American flag scarf, busted out the harmonica and the megaphone, launching into tracks off AmeriKKant and 2013’s From Beer to Eternity, including “Twilight Zone” and “Victims of a Clown” with the seven-piece band.

The visuals behind the industrial band were dark, trippy and menacing with pops of silly satire: creepy clowns during “Wargasm”; schoolyards with doubleexposed film; grainy, morphing, generally upsetting imagery throughout — but certainly with a strong showing of Trump in the first part of the show (including, notably, during the song “Punch in the Face”). During older songs, images of George W. Bush and Hugo Chavez made appearances on the screen, as did protesters and police brutality.

It can all be a little over-the-top, but with Ministry, that is to be expected. A few showgoers didn’t quite get it. Right after the band performed the song “Antifa,” two confused metalheads near me started shouting “F*ck Antifa” along with some extremely homophobic and upsetting slurs, holding their middle fingers up. They stood alone, however, as the majority of the black-shirtwearing crowd cheered and shook along to every song, forming a few minor mosh pits up front during faster metal favorites. The band’s clear fights against fake news, Fox and the current administration were cathartic, if a bit too on-the-nose.

In contrast to the two dissenters way back in the venue, Jourgensen, after “Antifa,” implored the crowd to vote this November, saying we must vote to “Show Russia they don’t control our shit, we control our shit!”

— which got hollers of approval.

After a pummeling hour-long set, the band retreated briefly then returned for an encore. Jourgensen yelled, “Ventura knows how to party. Who knew?” which riled up the crowd once more, before launching into fastpaced, heavy “Bad Blood” off 1999’s Dark Side of the Spoon — a song you may recognize from The Matrix soundtrack. ✦

So I went to Seoul Sausage and she, a vegan, went to Love Pho, and we returned with our first course.

Seoul Sausage is an L.A.-based restaurant of which I have been a big fan for some time at their location in Little Tokyo. That was a different time, however, for my personal dietary choices. I ordered from the “sausage in a bun” category and www.andriasseafood.com chose the “kalbi” style ($8), choosing 22 — — March 29, 2018

to substitute the in-house-made veggie sausage ($1 extra) for the Korean barbecue pork sausage. Typically, toppings include kimchi relish and garlic jalapeño aioli, but knowing my kimchi, I had to skip out on the relish, as a key ingredient for the traditional Korean pickled cabbage is fish sauce, and this was no exception at Seoul Sausage.

I returned to our table and found that my partner had returned with a feast in a bowl. The pho with tofu and vegetable ($8.75), ordered to-go, came loaded with veggies atop thin noodles in a murky broth, replete with a side of crisp, fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, mint and lime.

There were even small packets of Sriracha hot sauce and duck sauce.

If I had a do-over, I’d have placed a different order at Seoul Sausage.

Without the kimchi relish, the dog was rather dry, the quantity of aioli being rather lacking. The pho, however, was meal enough for two. With a pop from the lime, the pho opened up our sinuses with the inclusion of raw jalapeño and proved to be a flavor powerhouse. This was truly a trip to Flavortown.

Still craving something loaded with carbs, I visited Scratch Sandwich Bar. Because we couldn’t share the veggie dog due to the aioli, I chose to compromise by ordering the sabbich ($7.50), an Israeliinspired sandwich filled to the brim with roasted eggplant, black-bean hummus, cucumber salad, pickles, tahini dressing and a mango relish. Usually the sandwich comes topped with a fried egg, but we asked that it be given to the next egg enthusiast in line.

This is one hearty lunch; don’t let the veggie-ness fool you. The soft pita is a treat and refused to get soggy under the weight of the top-

pings, our favorite being the roasted eggplant itself. Slightly smoky and savory, the eggplant paired well with the hummus and mango relish.

We’d eaten like royalty for less than $30 thus far, though it would have been a bit more had Ragamuffin Coffee Roasters not run out of their vegan muffin for the day.

Another trip, we promised.

Instead, we hit up The Blend Superfood Bar for an açai bowl and smoothie. We chose The Champion bowl ($9.95-11.95), a base of acai, banana, strawberries and cashew milk topped with granola, banana slices, goji berries, cacao nibs, bee pollen and a choice of peanut or almond butter; we chose the latter and nixed the bee pollen to make the bowl vegan-friendly.

To indulge further, we chose the mint chip smoothie ($8.95), a blend of banana, kale, mint, dates, cacao nibs, vanilla extract, almond butter and cashew milk.

To say we went overboard is an understatement. The regular-sized açai bowl was enough for one person’s large lunch, so we split it and enjoyed every bite of the crunchy, sweet, purple “health” food. The smoothie we ended up walking out with and enjoying in sips during the car ride home. It was as close as one would expect to being a chocolate mint milkshake sans any dairy, and is on my to-drink list when looking for a quick pick-me-up.

We left The Annex filled to the brim with all manner of food, having visited the culinary worlds plucked from several continents for under $50, and there was still much left to be had — including a pancake from the aptly named Pancake. The Annex has proven a wonderful addition to Oxnard, and a place for vegetarians/vegans to call their own. ♦

Tomb Raider

Another star launches into action

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Tomb Raider Directed by Roar Uthaug Starring: Alicia Vikander, Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu Rated: PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and for some language 1 hr. 58 mins.

T

ell me you didn’t see this coming: Another young actress goes action hero. Think Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Gal Gadot. Now it’s Academy Awardwinner Alicia Vikander’s turn. She stars as the high-flying Lara Croft in Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider has a long history. It started as a video game in 1996 that went on to become highly successful. The game launched Tomb Raider the film series in 2001 starring Angelina Jolie. Now the flick has a second incarnation. Why, you ask? Why not, if it’s a hit? No other reason is needed.

Lara Croft (Vikander) is suffering over the disappearance seven years ago of her father, Lord Richard Croft (Dominic West). She could be feasting off his fortune. Instead she works as a bike courier and tries her luck at boxing.

Not a promising career. Her coach wants her to quit. He also wants her to pay him.

Croft’s aunt, Ana Miller (Kristin Scott Thomas), begs her to give up looking for her father and settle into a privileged existence.

Sign the estate papers. Redecorate the house.

Go buy a dress.

Instead, Croft discovers a secret hideout in her father’s house with clues about where he has gone. Something about a remote Japanese island named Yamatai and a tomb for a queen witch called Himiko, who it is rumored can command power over life and death. In a video, Croft’s father tells her to destroy all his research on Himiko. Too dangerous, he says.

But does Croft listen? Nay. Instead she hocks her favorite jade necklace for cash and takes off for Hong Kong. There she hires a boat captain named Lu Ren (Daniel

Wu) to take her to Yamatai in the notorious Devil’s Sea. Of course they are shipwrecked on the island. Even worse, it turns out that Croft is not the only one looking for her father, or for the queen’s tomb.

The story in this film is about as silly as monkeys on a trampoline, but if you know that going in, there’s other stuff that can be fun.

And there is. Vikander is very athletic, but she plays the role of Croft with enough frailty to give the viewer a rooting interest. She groans. She hurts. She cries.

Tomb Raider is at its best when the action is flowing. Norwegian Director Roar Uthaug, whose previous films include The Wave (2015) and Escape (2012), makes the film nimble in its stunts and action sequences. When the story slows to provide drama, however, it’s more like watching lines on the highway between destinations. You’re just counting down until the next action sequence.

To be sure, the film has a formidable cast, including a fleet-footed Vikander, a dramatically bearded West, and my favorite bad guy, Walton Goggins, whose performance as Boyd Crowder in the TV series Justified is a perfectly gleeful vision of hellfire.

Yet, what can be done when the script says to run here, jump there, fire gun, throw fist, cut? It’s a waste of talent. The actors are not getting paid to act. They’re part of the reactionary scenery of this film. Shoot.

Kill. Repeat.

Is this fun? Well, yeah, in parts. Croft being chased on a bike through London. Croft hanging onto a rusty plane, high in the air, by her fingernails. Croft searching for the right key to a door as the floor disappears beneath her feet.

There are some good moments, but you understand from the beginning what this film is about: Adventure served breezily on a platter.

If that’s your preference, you won’t be disappointed. Unfortunately, for the rest of Vikander’s fans, it means she’ll probably be preoccupied with more Croft tales, and we’ll just have to wait it out as she follows the money. One can only hope that eventually she’ll return to the good stuff. ♦

Wall of me

I’m a single woman struggling with maintaining boundaries. I find myself going along in the moment with things men do or want — saying “sure, that’s cool” even when it’s not.

I’m pretty assertive in other areas, so it’s confusing that I’d be such a wimp with men.

Reflect on possible boundary challenging scenarios and preplan what you’ll say — and then just say it. State your limits, despite any inner squeals of protest from your fears (those jerks).

— Yes Woman

Guys love a woman wh o s ay s yes — until they’re done doing what-

ever she said yes to.

It isn’t surprising that you’re inconsistently assertive. There’s this myth of the self as a single, stable entity — like one of those Easter Island statues (but with lip gloss and an iPhone). However, evolutionary psychologist Lee A. Kirkpatrick and his colleagues find that our selfevaluations (and the behavior that follows) evolved to be “domain-specific” — different in different areas

of our lives.

“Situational variables” matter — like the value to us of a potential relationship. So you might march around like some warrior princess of the work world yet want a boyfriend so badly that you show guys you’re dating that there’s no amount of backward that’s too far for you to bend over.

–The good news is, your emotions are not your factory foreman. You will not be fired and end up sleeping on cardboard in a doorway if you refuse to obey them. Reflect on possible boundary-challenging scenarios and preplan what you’ll say — and then just say it. State your limits, despite any inner squeals of protest from your fears (those jerks). Expect this to feel uncomfortable, but do it anyway. In time, you should see that it’s self-respect, not compliance, that earns you respect from others — leading them to want you for more than … um … temporary erection relief. ♦ (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

A few years ago, a New Zealander named Bruce Simpson announced plans to build a cruise missile at his home using parts he bought legally from eBay and other online stores. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you initiate a comparable project. For example, you could arrange a do-it-yourself space flight by tying a thousand helium balloons to your lawn chair. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Please don’t try lunatic schemes like the helium balloon space flight. Here’s the truth: Now is a favorable time to initiate big, bold projects, but not foolish, big, bold projects. The point is to be both visionary and practical.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

The Finnish word kalsarikännit means getting drunk at home alone in your underwear and bingeing on guilty pleasures. It’s a perfect time for you to do just that. The Fates are whispering, “Chill out. Vegetate.

Be ambitionless.” APRIL FOOL! I told a half-truth. In fact, now is a perfect time to excuse yourself from trying too hard and doing too much. You can accomplish wonders and marvels by staying home and bingeing on guilty pleasures in your underwear. But there’s no need to get drunk.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Actor Gary Busey is very sure there are no mirrors in heaven. He has other specific ideas about the place, as well. This became a problem when he was filming the movie Quigley, in which his character Archie visits heaven. Busey was so enraged at the director’s mistaken rendering of paradise that he got into a fist fight with another actor. I hope you will show an equally feisty fussiness in the coming weeks, Gemini. APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of. On the one hand, I do hope you’ll be forceful as you insist on express-

ing your high standards. Don’t back down! But on the other hand, refrain from pummeling anyone who asks you to compromise.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

In the Scots language still spoken in parts of Scotland, eedle-doddles are people who can’t summon initiative when it’s crunch time. They are so consumed in trivial or irrelevant concerns that they lose all instinct for being in the right place at the right time. I regret to inform you that you are now at risk of being an eedle-doddle. APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. I have rarely seen you so well-primed to respond vigorously and bravely to Big Magic Moments. For the foreseeable future, you are King or Queen of Carpe Diem.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Paul McCartney likes to periodically act like a regular person who’s not a famous musician. He goes grocery shopping without bodyguards. He rides on public transportation and strikes up conversations with random strangers. I think you may need to engage in similar behavior yourself, Leo. You’ve become a bit too enamored of your own beauty and magnificence. You really do need to come down to earth and hang out more with us little people. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is prime time to hone your power and glory, to indulge your urge to shine and dazzle, to be as conspicuously marvelous as you dare to be.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

The coming days will be an excellent time to concoct an alchemical potion that will heal your oldest wounds. For best results, mix and sip a gallon of potion using the following magic ingredients: absinthe, chocolate syrup, cough medicine, dandelion tea, cobra venom and worm’s blood. APRIL

FOOL! I mixed a lie in with a truth. It is a fact that now is a fine time to seek remedies for your ancient wounds. But the potion I recommended is bogus. Go on a quest for the real cure.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

I expect you will soon receive a wealth of exotic and expensive gifts. For example, a benefactor may finance your vacation to a gorgeous sacred site or give you the deed to an enchanted waterfall. I won’t be surprised if you’re blessed with a solid gold bathtub or a year’s supply of luxury cupcakes. It’s even possible that a sugar daddy or sugar momma will fork over $500,000 to rent an auditorium for a party in your honor. APRIL FOOL! I distorted the truth. I do suspect you’ll get more goodies than usual in the coming weeks, but they’re likely to come in the form of love and appreciation, not flashy material goods.

(For best results, don’t just wait around for the goodies to stream in; ask for them!)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

There’s a narrow waterway between Asia and Europe. In the fifth century B.C., Persian King Xerxes had two bridges built across it so he could invade Greece with his army. But a great storm swept through and smashed his handiwork. Xerxes was royally peeved. He ordered his men to whip the uncooperative sea and brand it with hot irons, all the while shouting curses at it, like “You are a turbid and briny river.” I recommend that you do something similar, Scorpio. Has Nature done anything to inconvenience you? Show it who’s the Supreme Boss! APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is an excellent time for you to become more attuned and in love with a Higher Power, however you define that. What’s greater than you and bigger than your life and wilder than you can imagine? Refine your practice of the art of surrender.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi was such a lustful womanizer that he sometimes found it tough to focus on making art. At one point, his wealthy and politically powerful patron Cosimo de’ Medici, frustrated by his extracurricular activities, imprisoned him in his studio to ensure he wouldn’t get diverted. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suspect you need similar constraints. APRIL FOOL! I fibbed a little. I am indeed worried you’ll get so caught up in the pursuit of pleasure that you’ll neglect your duties. But I won’t go so far as to suggest you should be locked up for your own good.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Now is a favorable time to slap a lawsuit on your mom in an effort to make her pay for the mistakes she made while raising you. You could also post an exposé on social media in which you reveal her shortcomings, or organize a protest rally outside her house with your friends holding signs demanding she apologize for how she messed you up. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was ridiculous and false.

The truth is, now is a perfect moment to meditate on the gifts and blessings your mother gave you. If she is still alive, express your gratitude to her. If she has passed on, do a ritual to honor and celebrate her.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Aquarian author Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Color Purple. She has also published 33 other books and built a large audience. But some of her ideas are not exactly mainstream. For example, she says that one of her favorite authors is David Icke, who asserts that intelligent extraterrestrial reptiles have disguised themselves as humans and taken control of our planet’s governments. I

bring this to your attention, because I think it’s time that you, too, reveal the full extent of how crazy you really are. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. While it’s true that now is a favorable time to show more of your unconventional and eccentric sides, I don’t advise you to go full-on whacko.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Warning! Danger! You are at risk of contracting a virulent case of cherophobia! And what exactly is cherophobia? It’s a fear of happiness. It’s an inclination to dodge and shun joyful experiences because of the suspicion that they will disappoint you or cause bad luck. Please do something to stop this insidious development. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is that you are currently more receptive to positive emotions and delightful events than you’ve been in a log time. There’s less than a 1-percent chance you will fall victim to cherophobia.

Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your child. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 05/16/2018, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon as counsel can be heard in Courtroom J1 of this Court at Juvenile Justice Center 4353 Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA 93036. YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED as follows: At the hearing the Court must choose and implement one of the following permanent plans for the child: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing.

On 05/16/2018, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed

180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint counsel for you. A thirty-day continuance may be granted if necessary for counsel to prepare the case. At all termination proceedings, the Court shall consider the wishes of the child and shall act in the best interest of the child.

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

You are referred to that section for further particulars. Michael J. Planet, Executive Officer and Clerk, County of Ventura, State of California. Dated: 02/27/2018 by: Evette Castaneda Deputy Clerk, Children and Family Services Social Worker.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 or visit this Internet Web www.Auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA1700282395 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.
