OPINION Editorial

Repercussions of paranoia F

acebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg made headlines again on Tuesday, May 1, announcing the “clear history” feature coming to Facebook users soon. It will give them the ability to see and remove data collected by Facebook analytics, essentially to leave no trace. But that will also make it harder for people to jump around to sites that require sign-in and other similar issues that occur when Internet users delete “cookies,” which are linked to browser search history. The clear history option is practically the same as deleting cookies. There are, however, unintentional consequences to being suspicious and paranoid when using social media. For instance, Nextdoor seems to be fostering some unusual repercussions. Joel Stein, author of Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity, had his Op-Ed piece published on April 29 in the L.A. Times, “Nextdoor: An alternative reality where black Audis terrorize and everyone is a meth-addled menace.” He speaks candidly about how he needed to stay objective about the fear-mongering on the site over just about anything that could be considered suspicious in his neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills. “Nextdoor’s popular posts all come from the ‘Crime & Safety’ section, where the rule is not merely that ‘if it bleeds it leads.’ It also leads if it’s a fuzzy image from a Ring doorbell security camera that, if you squint, is vaguely in the shape of a methaddled rapist,” he wrote. He continued, expressing his concern about his wife, who took the paranoia to a whole different level. “Cassandra is constantly being told, there is crime everywhere. Local watchdogs are posting photographs of perps, identifying them on the site and — despite having all the detective work done for them — frustrated that the SWAT team never arrives. ‘I totally lost faith in the police,’

Letters Star Strangled Banner The gun is a unique weapon. When Timothy McVeigh committed the Oklahoma City bombing there were no calls for manure control, no large vehicle purchases restrictions. Likewise, after Jeffrey Dahmer’s murders there were no calls for restrictions on alcohol, knives or forks. Granted, these were isolated cases without repeated methodologies. However, we did not assign blame to their weapon of choice. We simply asked, “How could these individuals do this?” The gun is different. Guns have become 4— — May 3, 2018

Cassandra told me. ‘I’m super-paranoid and I want to move.’ “When we go for walks in our neighborhood, Cassandra judges each house’s vulnerability to invasion by Visigoths. ‘That’s a secure home!’ she yells while pointing at a tall brick wall. ‘That’s not [a] secure home!’ she screams at low bushes. Our house, sadly, is ‘not a secure home!’ She has talked to our gardeners about putting up a row of cypress trees in front of our lawn, klieg lights on our garage and a gate at the foot of our short driveway.” He wrapped up his piece by talking about a guy whom he walked past in a local park who “wanted to party,” and then the guy followed him to his house and into his unattached office. Apparently the guy really wanted some company. Stein, however, shooed him away with a broomstick and that was the end of it. He was worried about confirming some of his wife’s fears, but did his best to keep it real. “I decided to be honest. I started my story with, ‘Believe it or not, this thing just happened, but it actually wasn’t scary.’ Which is exactly how I wish all Nextdoor entries started,” he wrote. Now, when it comes to existing on the Internet and on social media, the agonizing over what might happen if we aren’t prepared, the constant feelings of someone taking advantage of us when we are trying to relax and enjoy technology, is all that hype over who sees what, when and where really worth it? We should ask Cassandra how she is doing and then see how we can apply those feelings of paranoia to our own lives. While Zuckerberg is at least trying to make our experience feel more personal and private, there is a cost to living as though there is always someone who wants to hurt us somehow for some reason. Perhaps it’s just better to do our social engaging in real life and leave the Internet for other uses.

the symbol of a loss of innocence, of our greatest resource, of our future: our children. Memory is short. We seem to forget that without the gun, western culture would not have conquered the world. We forget that one of the reasons the American Revolution was so hard-fought was because of British gun control. We forget that the first thing a tyrant does upon coming to power is enact a gun ban. We have been spoiled by over 200 years of relative peace and freedom that we’ve forgotten our first fight to obtain those sacred rights. We forget our forefathers’ warning that “Any society that would trade a little liberty for a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” Society has a right to be angry, to be fed up

and to demand change. But the time has come to assign blame where blame is due. John Watson said, “Give me a dozen healthy infants … and I’ll [give you a] doctor, lawyer, artist… beggar-man, and thief” because his studies proved that nurture more than nature makes a person. It’s time we look at the real cause of these terrible acts. It’s time we look at “the man in the mirror” and ask what we need to change, to fix, as a society to ensure that these people are not excluded, are not pushed so far into the abyss that they in turn marginalize society into Judith Boss’ category C, people who they would not mind killing and eating for food. Worse still, it becomes for them their only option. The gun is the red the bull sees, a distraction. We can take away all the guns in the world but a person backed into a corner will always fight or flight. Even without guns there will be rope, knives, vehicles, fire. … We can’t eliminate everything. We can continue to “First make thieves then punish them.” Or we can create a world of inclusion, love and compassion. We can shift focus from our otherness and seek out similarities. We can extend a hand of friendship to the angry, depressed, isolated and emotionally scarred or, better still, not let them fall in the first place. Then, just maybe, we will actually live up to our values of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” for all. Jennifer Corbin Ventura

Anatomy of a recall

It had been brewing for years — the mismanagement of city finances and policies by elected and appointed Oxnard city officials. It came to a head when the City Council voted to increase sewer rates by a staggering 87 percent. Furious citizens, led by Aaron Starr of Moving Oxnard Forward (MOF), launched an initiative process to roll back the rate hikes. The necessary paperwork was filed on March 8, 2016, with the Oxnard City Clerk’s office, who then had 15 days to produce a “title and

Right Persuasion

American Dream R.I.P. D by Raymond Freeman

o America’s conservatives at least conserve the American Dream? No such luck. Slice by slice, the whole salami went. Professor Noam Chomsky’s Requiem for the American Dream (on YouTube) shows how. 1. Reduce Democracy. Conservatives’ dirty tricks, gerrymandering, voter ID hurdles, roll purges, voter intimidation, long voting lines and vote theft are a disgrace. President Carter calls America’s politics an “oligopoly with unlimited political bribery.” Oligopoly is rule by the wealthy few, as in Russia. And The Economist now rates America as a “flawed democracy,” like Korea. 2. Shape the Ideology. Lewis Powell held that conservatives should play a more aggressive role in politics. He was appointed to the Supreme Court. In 1976 it ruled that money was “free speech.” If you think speech flows out of mouths, think again. It flows out of deep pockets. Conservatives were therefore overjoyed at Ronald Reagan’s TV persona. As president, Ronnie abolished the Fairness Doctrine in the media. This allowed conservatives’ lies to run wild. The narrative was spread that greed was good and pursuing the common good was bad. Only the wealthy could be trusted with the economy. Reaganomics accordingly became America’s prevailing ideology.

3. Redesign the Economy. In broad daylight, conservatives took America from a high-wage economy to a low-wage economy via Reaganomics and union-bashing. Moreover, America’s billionaires realized that they had more in common with China’s billionaires than America’s workers. They told everyone that globalization was unstoppable, reshaped the economy to suit themselves, and threw workers under the bus. 4. Shift the Burden. The burden of taxation was transferred away from those most able to pay. The lie was spread that America is an overtaxed country. In reality, taxes are exceedingly low by international norms, even before considering military spending. 5. Attack Solidarity. Collective action was attacked such as labor unions, public education, Social Security and environmental protections. This is the old divide-and-conquer tactic, reducing cohesion. 6. Run the Regulators. Conservatives attacked the very notion of regulation itself. Lobbyists now draft laws to benefit their clients, and politicians in their pockets pass them. This led directly to the 2008 Crash. 7. Engineer Elections. Other countries have short elections and strict limits on money in politics. But America’s elections go on to the point of stupefaction with unlimited spending. This enables lavishly funded conservative “think

tanks” acting in the “public interest” to saturate the airwaves and manipulate voters. 8. Keep the Rabble in Line. American workers no longer have unions behind them. They are cowed down into believing they cannot get better wages and conditions due to the “free market,” not even at fabulously profitable companies like Walmart and Amazon. 9. Manufacture Consent. Conservatives have invested millions into the techniques of mass communication to drive their agenda and shut out competing views. 10. Marginalize the Population. FDR’s liberal policies, implemented up to 197, produced benefits for everyone. But conservative-driven policies thereafter resulted in government “of the 1 percent, by the 1 percent, for the 1 percent” (Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize, economics). The 99 percent were left behind. The response to this onslaught was pathetic. The Democratic Party had become dependent on corporate money. It turned its back on blue-collar voters. They eventually rebelled in sufficient numbers to defeat Hillary Clinton. She had no message for them, having stupidly fired Stiglitz as her economics adviser. Another documentary, Merchants of Doubt, shows the purveying of conservatives’ lies. We see inside lie factories laughably called “think tanks.” We see Charles Koch, with major invest-

ments in petroleum, undermining the fight against global warming. He invests in politicians and reaps rewards beyond the dreams of avarice. He has admitted to requiring them to support his interests, thus perverting the common good. Jane Mayer’s excellent book Dark Money exposes his tactic of setting up bogus “charities” to advance his extreme agenda under the guise of “freedom.” Stiglitz gives the result of all this: “The belief in the American Dream is not supported by the data.” Despite the mythology, “The life chances of a young U.S. citizen are more dependent on the income and education of his parents than in any other advanced industrial country.” America now has a hereditary aristocracy similar to the old British landed gentry in TV’s Downton Abbey. A few honest conservatives agree with Stiglitz. David Frum said, “In the face of evidence of dwindling upward mobility and long-stagnating middle-class wages, my party’s economic ideas sometimes seem to have shrunk to just one: more tax cuts for the very highest earners.” David Stockman, the architect of Reaganomics, says “trickle-down” economics destroyed America as he knew it. If you can find anything these “conservatives” actually conserve, apart from America’s enormous bullshit industry, please let me know. ✦

Thomas Fire spurs sale of burned-out lots in Ventura by Jim Medina

erched on a hillside overlooking Ventura, a Mediterranean-style villa with a stunning ocean view was listed for sale at $2.3 million in September 2017. Today, scorched land remains where the 3,800-square-foot home once stood, a remnant of the devastating Thomas Fire in December. The property — marked down to $1.3 million — is at the high end of at least 25 burnedout lots that are for sale or have been sold in middle-to-upper income residential neighborhoods in Ventura, where more than 400 homes were destroyed by the largest wildfire in California history, records show. And more burned-out lots could be added. The low-end price to date is $348,150, according to the Multiple Listing Service. Clustered mainly in the Ondulando-Clearpoint area, the lots came on the market beginning in February after debris and ash were cleared, dirt was compacted (foundations were scrapped) and soil was tested for contaminants such as lead, paint, pesticides and asbestos. Potential buyers are expected to be builders or investors seeking to turn a profit by constructing and selling high-end homes — which will boost the community’s property values, experts say. For one woman who decided to sell her lot, the prospect of waiting two or three years to move into a new house was too daunting. “I’m too old,” said the homeowner who wished to remain anonymous. Escaping the blaze with

only her purse, cat and car, she couldn’t stomach living in temporary housing like a recreational vehicle or mobile home. But even her newly purchased home offers little solace. “I don’t sleep at night,” she said. Rebuilding a home can be an overwhelming task, said Joe Virnig of Re/Max Gold Coast Realtors, the woman’s agent. “Decisions are unique in every individual circumstance,” he said. “It’s not like the insurance company is going to swoop in and make you a replica of what you had. As a matter of fact … a lesson to come out of all this is that most people were underinsured.” Another homeowner electing to sell his lot is considered “lucky.” He bought a home at 888 Villa Arroyo in November 2017, shortly before the Thomas Fire devastated the neighborhood in early December. Because his family hadn’t moved in, they didn’t lose any belongings. “This is a family that really wanted to move to that neighborhood and chose it carefully because of the very good school district,” said the listing agent, Jody Neal of Berkshire Hathaway. “They were looking to settling down their roots there. We all know what happened with the fire. It’s a tragedy.” Specializing in selling lots and vacant land, Neal noted, “You almost never see” multiple similar lots for sale in an existing neighborhood with utilities, as well as an expedited permitting process. “The pricing is always difficult because the normal things that people rely on to set prices for residential properties don’t exist,” he said. “So you have to use a method that sort of works backward from a finished product.” In

A joint “armed prohibited persons” sweep conducted by the California Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms and six Ventura County law enforcement agencies, including the District Attorney’s office, has netted six arrests and a cache of weapons. The sweep took place on April 23 and 24, when agents checked up on 140 individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition according to the California Department of Justice’s Armed Prohibited Persons System. Investigators recovered 38 firearms, three of which were deemed to be assault weapons, as well as 22,690 rounds of ammunition and 93 ammunition magazines. Six arrests were made and 67 cases were cleared from the System. The database is maintained by the California Department of Justice and keeps track of individuals prohibited from owning or possessing firearms due to felony convictions, domestic violence restraining orders or mental health commitments.

this instance, Neal’s client bought the home for $705,000 and the vacant lot — where only part of the driveway remains — is listed for $455,000. Neal expects interested buyers will be speculators who store wealth in “land banking” — holding on to parcels for years with the hope that property appreciation pays off in the future — or builders capable of constructing homes to sell for a premium. “Most people who buy lots are using cash and not financing through a bank,” he said. “Whoever buys these things will be someone with the ability to build. … The majority of them are not end users.” The silver lining is that the hundreds of rebuilt homes in the Ondulando-Clearpoint neighborhoods and surrounding areas will be a tremendous economic stimulus for the city of Ventura, according to Mark Schniepp, director of the California Economic Forecast. Schniepp noted, however, that possible labor shortages and rising supply costs are a concern because of competing construction demands — 8,900 buildings were destroyed in a Sonoma County wildfire in October and mudslides in January wiped out 107 homes and damaged 1,400 more in the Montecito-Carpinteria area. It’s just one more factor when considering whether to rebuild a home. While the fire disaster is “socially disruptive,” Schniepp said that it has provided the “perfect catalyst” for a few people whose circumstances prompted them to sell their lots — which account for a tiny percentage of the more than 400 homes destroyed in Ventura. ✦

Fair warning, all single ladies (and guys): It isn’t easy to find a soul mate in Ventura or Oxnard according to a new report released in April. The report, “Best Cities for Singles in 2018,” produced by Zumper, an apartment rental website, looked at 382 metro areas across the nation, ranking each by five factors: number of bars and restaurants, college degrees, and singles in the area, as well as Internet usage of dating apps and average rental prices. Unfortunately, Ventura County ranked 106, lumping Oxnard, Thousand Oaks and Ventura together, with 76 percent single.

SOCAL GAS INCREASES INCENTIVES FOR SUSTAINABLE REBUILDING

For SoCal Gas customers who lost homes due to the Thomas Fire or the later debris flow, a financial incentive is being offered or those who plan to rebuild using sustainable designs and ultra-efficient appliances. SoCal Gas will increase by 50 percent the dollars offered as incentives through the California Advanced Homes Program, saying that homeowners who choose more efficient appliances will save on monthly bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “Ventura County is working diligently to assist residents who lost their homes in the Thomas Fire, and we would welcome and support these efforts to make their new homes more sustainable and energyefficient,” said Chris Stephens, director of the Ventura County Resource Management Agency.

OJAI TENNIS TOURNAMENT CROWNS CHAMPIONS

by David Michael Courtland

by Chris O’Neal Libbey Park became the site of an Ojai Tennis Tournament classic on Saturday, April 28, when men’s rivals UCLA and USC went toe to toe in a match pitting the first seed against the third. UCLA defeated USC 4-1, winning the Pac-12 men’s team title at the 118th iteration of the Ojai Tennis Tournament, the fourth conference crown for the team in seven years. This match was the fifth time that the Los Angeles schools had met in the championship match, with the 2017 tournament going to USC. With the win, UCLA received an automatic entry to the NCAA’s Men’s Championship, its 42nd such trip to the postseason tournament. The team consists of Martin Redlicki, Maxime Cressy, Connor Hance, Evan Zhu and Bryce Pereira. In the Women’s tournament, UCLA fell short of a victory, falling to topseeded Stanford during an exciting comeback match that saw Stanford rebound from a doubles deficit, beating UCLA 4-2. The victory gives the team an automatic bid for the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive year. The team consists of Melissa Lord, Caroline Lampl, Emily Arbuthnott and Emma Higuchi, who all won in singles competition; and Terri Fleming and Jada Hart and Alaina Miller and Ena Shibahara won in doubles. Sunday saw singles competition. Top-seeded Hannah Chang defeated Denise Starr 6-4, 6-1, to become the Women’s Open Singles champion. Sebastian Fanselow, No. 1 seed, defeated second seed Philip Bester 4-6, 6-0, 6-5 to win the Men’s Singles Open title. For the first time in the 118-year tournament’s history, winners received equal payout.

FOOTGOLF U.S. OPEN WRAPS UP IN OXNARD

If you’ve ever wanted to kick a golf ball into the rough after slicing one into a water hazard, without penalty, then the wild world of FootGolf may just be for you. The American FootGolf League held its U.S. FootGolf Open from Friday, April 27, through Sunday, April 29, at the River Ridge Golf Club’s Victoria Lakes Golf Course in Oxnard, the first major tournament of the International FootGolf World Tour consisting of over 200 tournaments played on five continents in 35 countries. In 2013, River Ridge became the first golf course to host a FootGolf tournament in California. The tournament consisted of four categories featuring men aged 18-45, seniors 46 years of age and older, women 18 years of age and older, and teams, all competing for a $12,500 prize. FootGolf operates in a similar way to its cousin, golf, in that a player must put a ball in a hole with as few “strokes” as possible. Whereas in Golf players use clubs, in FootGolf, players use their own feet. The hole is enlarged to 21 inches to accommodate the ball, a soccer ball, and players play to the side of the actual golf green so as not to damage the turf. British competitor Ben Clarke took first place in the men’s category, followed by Argentinian Nicolas Garcia and American Julian Nash in third. American Jessica Hewins took first in the women’s category, and the all-American team of Julian Nash, Cesar Chavez, Jordan Godfrey and Nathan Shuey took home the “gold” in the team tournament.

NO STARR POWER IN RECALL EFFORT

pariah42@yahoo.com

Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten on Wednesday, April 25, charged a Northern California man — who is suspected of being the long-sought Golden State Killer — with the 1980 murders of Lyman and Charlene Smith of Ventura. Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, of Citrus Heights near Sacramento has been charged with capital murder, Totten said at a noontime press conference held jointly in Sacramento with other district attorneys and investigators. On Saturday, March 13, 1980, JOSEPH DEANGELO the Smiths’ son found the popular and socially prominent couple bludgeoned to death in the bedroom of their Ventura home. Lyman Smith, 43, was an attorney rumored to be in line for a judgeship; Charlene Smith, 33, was a decorator and jewelry

vendor. Charlene Smith had been raped; a log from the fireplace was used to beat both to death. Their wrists and ankles had been bound with a drapery cord, using a decorative knot called a diamond knot. The unusual knot is among details linking the murder to a series of crimes DeAngelo is now suspected of. Two people were suspected of the crime at the time, one had the charges dropped; the other, a family friend and business partner, was tried and acquitted of the murders. DeAngelo was arrested Tuesday afternoon, April 24, at his Citrus Heights home. Investigators say a discarded sample of DNA connects DeAngelo, a former police officer fired for shoplifting, to a gruesome crime spree lasting from 1976 to 1986. The crimes began in Sacramento before moving south through Oakland, Santa Barbara and Orange Counties. Besides the double homicide in Ventura County, DeAngelo is suspected of four murders in Santa Barbara County. ✦

IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES Paula Poundstone shares her quest for happiness, comes to T.O. this Saturday BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

hese are trying times for all our souls, as a highly divided nation strives to maintain its sanity while living under a controversial leader. But comedian Paula Poundstone is here to save us all, leading us to happiness through both her latest bestselling book The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness and her frequent appearances on the hit NPR game show Wait! Wait! Don’t Tell Me, and through her frequent live comedy shows nationwide. A longtime resident of Santa Monica, where she stays busy as a single mom to several adopted children and numerous pets, the 58-year-old Poundstone is delighted to be staying close to home this weekend while playing to a packed house. She will perform at the Fred Kavli Theatre of the Thousand Oaks Performing Arts Center at 8 p.m. on Saturday, and she took time to speak with VCReporter to share her highly opinionated views on numerous issues both personal and world-related.

— May 3, 2018

VCReporter: These are some unique times we’re living in, as the #MeToo movement has turned male-female relations upside down in a good way. Any thoughts on the movement?

POUNDSTONE: I think there must have been some really lousy office Christmas parties this year. I sort of picture guys with their hands raised where everyone can see them, moving around the perimeter of the room towards the bar. But I have mixed feelings about #MeToo. Overall it’s a good thing. Women shouldn’t have to put up with as much as they do, particularly in the workplace. But sometimes it’s an awfully wide broom. I’m not sure every incident falls into the same category. It’s not all Harvey Weinstein, and there’s no due process and that worries me. When you’re tried in the court of public opinion, you’re screwed. Not everyone’s rules are the same and, honestly, guys are dunderheads. Part of me feels bad for really stupid guys.

How do you feel about the Age of Trump?

I watch it in horror. I am not an expert even on constitutional law and history, but I am right now reading a book on Mussolini because I have a real gap in my body of knowledge, and on the rise and fall of the Third Reich because I want to be aware of what the early symptoms are of tyranny and dictatorship because I’m sure the people in Germany didn’t think it could happen to them either. On the road I put on MSNBC, and it’s not healthy to watch that all day. It gives you a stomachache, and that’s the truth, because look at all the medicine ads. All day long they tell you, “We’re about to tell you what you want to hear.” It’s like putting a toy in front of a cat on a string, it reaches for what it wants and they pull it away.

How did you decide to embark on your study of happiness?

I think it would be a great playground for writing jokes, doing different things I wasn’t used to, since my No. 1 job is to

be funny. I thought it would be fun, and I had this fantasy that the publisher would pay for me to do these things. It was quite a fantasy; the publisher did not pay for anything. It’s yet another memoir, which I get to keep writing because I’m not dead yet. My question was not whether I would enjoy doing certain things, but what would give me a bounce so when I returned to my regular life raising a houseful of kids and doing standup, I’d still have some gas in the tank. The analysis part of each chapter is the story of my regular life. Because it took seven years, in the end, it is the story of raising my kids. It took seven years to write that book. I didn’t know it would take that long, but I did know, the heart of that book would be in my family life, and I knew it would be a fun playground for jokes. The book turned into a lot more than I expected it to. The No. 1 job is to be funny but it ends up telling the story of my kids growing up, basically. By the time I was done, I’m the only one in the house anymore.

In one chapter, you explore whether driving fast cars can make you happy. Can they?

The fast car was a Lamborghini and was fun, but it’s not the answer, for sure. The answers are, sadly, so unromantic, so much what our parents always told us, which is go outside, get some exercise. I think rigorous exercise, the first chapter is the get-fit experiment and that alone took several months. At one point while doing that experiment, I was carrying a trash bag, about 30 pounds of animal waste, down the alley to the trash can and as I’m wandering down the alley in a route I’ve taken many, many times, yet it felt good. It can’t be the animal waste and it can’t be the experience of throwing away kitty litter and waste. It has to be getting fit. Being able to move more freely with less weight as a result of working out just makes you feel so much more capable. I feel like I’m not waiting for life to just act on me as when I’m not in good shape.

Then there’s the get up and dance chapter.

I decided to take swing dance because I saw people do it on the Santa Monica Promenade and it looked like so much fun. I love that style of ’40s music and it’s generally happy, though my dance teacher says the songs are all about being in love or eating. It involves social life, and you’re moving. That trifecta of good things for one’s brain and emotional well-being. I signed up for group classes with a wonderful teacher, but I eventually jettisoned to private classes for a while. I did the Charleston to the blues classic “Fire and Rain,” and it looked like tai chi. I went to as many classes as I could each week around my schedule, my kids and the road. I put many years into learning before I went to my first social dance and it was harrowing. The music was too fast and everything I thought I knew would fall out of my head. The first thing with a stranger, I let the guy walk me out to right in front of the band. I think I was screwing up the sax player because it was such a spectacle, he was watching and lost control of his spit valve.

The end chapter of the book finds you looking for quiet.

The last experiment in my book is with meditation. And it’s not something that I have been born into the world to do. Not only do I talk a lot but I have obsessive compulsive disorder. Everyone has it but it’s only diagnosed to the degree it interrupts your life. For me, one of the things that happened is that every thought is connected to another thought. It’s like when that magician pulls a scarf out of a sleeve and one is tied to the other and to the other. Someone else, even the audience, thinks that I jump around. But in my mind the thoughts are all connected and I feel the need to say them out loud. So meditating is counterintuitive to everything in how I

function. But I did try and I don’t know if you can call it success, and there’s times where I came away and I did feel more creative and more motivated creatively. And that sort of a conduit, I felt it affected my work, and since I love my job, that did make me happy.

It’s admirable how much you have helped kids, adopting three and fostering two. What inspired you to get involved like that?

There are so many issues to be dealt with in the world, I feel like it’s we have this big party and there’s spilled beer and pizza crusts and paper plates and broken plastic cups and tipped-over furniture all over the place. All you have to do is get up and just start picking stuff up. It doesn’t matter what the issue is, whether you’re an activist or volunteer with the environment, the homeless, or running for office. It doesn’t matter, there’s plenty to do. I guess when I was a young adult, I decided I wanted to make sure I was doing something to help others and benefit the whole because I have a tendency to be selfish. Sometimes I do better than others, and I’m not perfect. I share this with the kids and I hope someday it rubs off, but maybe I’ve just created misanthropes with them since kids tend to do the opposite. But just greet people walking down the street. Depression is at epic levels and electronics have stolen our souls to some degree. We don’t look each other in the eye and make enough real contact, and its’ collectively affecting our well-being.

Finish line in sight Ventura Historic Mural to be unveiled May 6 by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

public art project begun over three years ago is finally coming to fruition. Artist Michael O’Kelly’s memorial mural, originally commissioned in 2015 by the city of Ventura to commemorate its 2016 sesquicentennial (the 150th anniversary since the city was incorporated), was held up by a variety of delays: plan changes, the sometimes slow pace of city approvals, complications inherent in any large-scale public project and even the weather. The artwork’s location also proved to be an issue. Originally slated for a spot on the Eastside, the mural eventually landed in Downtown Ventura in front of the mission, which, as both an archeologically and historically important area, meant that a new set of regulatory concerns had to be addressed. When an old wall and bone fragments were unearthed in 2017 at the proposed site for the mural, extensive documentation and monitoring by a Chumash representative became necessary, and the construction permits had to be amended. (The VCReporter covered this in depth in a May 10, 2017, article, “Not Easy to Build a Wall.”) Nevertheless, through all of these trials and tribulations, the project endured. And now that it has finally cleared all the hurdles, installation has begun. In mid-April, O’Kelly and his team started putting in place the pieces that will make up the 48-by-9-1/2-feet framed mural depicting 150 years in the history of Ventura. Over 100 ceramic tiles showcase the people, landmarks and scenes (both old and new) that have helped make the coastal city what it is today. Chumash culture, the San Buenaventura Mission, agriculture, the railroad, surf culture, artists, musicians, founding families and much more are all represented. It’s a massive achievement, and will undoubtedly become

one of Ventura’s most recognizable landmarks, along with the mission, the courthouse and the pier. The Ventura Historic Mural will formally be unveiled to the public on Sunday, May 6, at 5 p.m. in front of the mission on Main Street between Palm Street and Ventura Avenue. (A private reception for donors and city officials will be held earlier in the day.) While O’Kelly jokes that at least his mural has taken less time to see completion than Antoni Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona (which was started in 1882 and is expected to be completed in 2026), he also recognizes that the years-long delay has allowed him to alter the design to capture some momentous events, in both his personal life and that of the city. One was the passing of his son in March 2017. While O’Kelly’s initial grief made him not even want to continue the project, he eventually came to see the mural as a way to remember and honor his son. “I modified it to have it become a legacy and memorial for my boy,” he explains. “I found ways to put him in there without being over the top. . . . His inspiration kept the whole thing going over the last year.” And of course, the Thomas Fire — aptly described by O’Kelly as “one of the biggest things that’s ever happened in this area” — plays a large role now as well. Tiles depicting the flames and a phoenix rising from the ashes will attest to what the city has been through, and survived. A lasting memorial commemorating not just Ventura’s history but its sense of community as well. “It has definitely evolved,” the Ventura artist says of his design. “It’s a better mural now. So sometimes it works out.” The Ventura Historic Mural will be unveiled on Sunday, May 6, at 5 p.m. in front of Mission San Buenaventura, 211 E. Main St., Ventura.

Cruise organizers Neil Coffman-Grey and Cindy Copeland Burrell in Santa Barbara.

by Mike Nelson Nothing like the right kind of White House occupant — or the wrong kind, depending on your perception — to arouse one’s civic pride and a call to action. Hence last fall’s Scary Times Sunset Cruise in Santa Barbara, organized by supporters of and benefiting the Diversity Collective of Ventura County, along with Santa Barbara’s Pacific Pride Foundation. And hence, the upcoming Maypole Magick Harbor Cruise in Ventura Harbor, benefiting the DCVC’s Community Resource Center in Ventura. “Donald Trump has re-energized us as activitists,” proclaims Neil Coffman-Grey, the May 5 cruise’s co-organizer and host, who had taken a 19-years-long break from organizing and hosting party cruises. Until, that is, he and others saw the current federal administration as, well, less than friendly to the LGBTQ community and its struggle to attain and maintain rights accorded to the rest of society (marriage, to name one). “I decided I had to get back into the fight because it’s not over with,” says Coffman-Grey. Last September, Coffman-Grey, his husband, Keith, and longtime collaborator Cindy Copeland Burrell of Cinderella Productions emerged from “party cruise hiatus” to organize the event in Santa Barbara. “We called it ‘Scary Times,’ ” says Coffman-Grey, “because, well, Trump is just scary.” The May 5 cruise, undertaken in conjunction with boat operator Island Packers, will include boarding gifts (ribbons, crowns and fairy wands), a raffle and a costume competition. A “scrumptious smorgasbord” featuring maypole cake pops, drinks, dancing and music from DJ Steve Sharp are also scheduled. Electric wheelchair access will be provided. The beneficiary is the DCVC’s new Community Resource Center, which opened last summer on Portola Road and promotes diversity, education and mental and physical health via community outreach to Ventura County’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population and the HIV/AIDS-affected community, as well as the general public. "They provide a really good and necessary service to the whole community,” Coffman-Grey says. Moreover, he adds, the fight being waged now on behalf of the LGBTQ community has ramifications for the future. “I think the burden is on us to support, to advise, to be there for younger people, to really mentor the younger generations,” he says. “The transgender community is so attacked these days, and this cruise, like the Community Resource Center, is a safe and celebratory space where you can be comfortable.” ✦ The Maypole Magick Harbor Cruise takes place on Saturday, May 5, 7-9:30 p.m. Boarding starts at 6:30 p.m. at Island Packers in Ventura Harbor Village, 1691 Spinnaker Drive.

FIRST TIME PERFORMING TOGETHER!

The Fratelli Men’s Chorus performs on May 6 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oxnard.

Harmony, unity and diversity The Fratelli Men’s Chorus joins LGBTQ and religious organizations for an inclusive concert in Oxnard by Karen Lindell

“W

e are one world, one people. And we all breathe the same.” — from the song “Sisi Ni Moja” Take a deep, unified breath. And sing. “Sisi Ni Moja,” which means “We Are One” in Swahili, will be the signature song when the Fratelli Men’s Chorus performs on May 6 in Oxnard. “We Are One” is also the title of the concert, and reflects the eclectic group of presenters and performers partnering for the event: Congregation Am HaYam, a Conservative Jewish congregation in Ventura; the Diversity Collective Ventura County, an LGBTQ support organization; Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, where the concert will be held; and the Santa Barbara-based Fratelli Men’s Chorus, made up mostly of gay men. “If this isn’t a testament to how we truly can be a collective celebrating our diversity, then I don’t know what is,” said Joseph Summers, president of Diversity Collective Ventura County. “It’s been a fractious year politically and socially,” said Zack Thomas Wilde, founder and artistic director of the Fratelli Men’s Chorus, which will be performing in Ventura County for the first time. “With this concert we’re trying to bring some harmony and unity, to help people see the commonality within us rather than the division.” Marc Goldman, a Congregation Am HaYam member who is helping to organize the concert, said that last year the congregation decided to do more outreach related to diversity, and hosted a cabaret featuring people with disabilities. This year Congregation Am HaYam wanted to present a diversity event that focused on the LGBTQ community. “We are working together for total acceptance of all human beings, no matter who they are,” he said. The concert in part benefits Diversity Collective Ventura County, which will use proceeds to help cover overhead costs at the nonprofit’s Community Resource Center that opened in August. “Fratelli” means “brothers” in Italian. Wilde, who lived in Italy for three years, said he chose the name because “a feeling of brotherhood is what we go for.”

With the release of her new album, Grammy® winner Paula Cole proves that her robust vocals and fearless songwriting remain as fresh and compelling as the start of her 20-plus-year career.

OPINION

VCREPORTER.COM

Letters Continued from Page 4 summary.” This is mandatory before starting to gather signatures. It should be noted here that the signatures needed to be gathered by a May 20, 2016, deadline to make the Nov. 8 ballot. But in a secret closed-door session, the City Council voted to block the initiative process from getting on the November ballot. No “title and summary” were forthcoming, despite California laws to the contrary. This violated our rights for “redress of our grievances,” which is guaranteed under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and, of course, the California Constitution, granting us the right to the initiative process. The City Council also violated its own sworn oath of office which reads in part “I, (name), solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California.” So much for their sworn pledge, and it speaks volumes about their ethics. On March 23, 2016, the city filed a lawsuit against Starr with the dual purpose of not only stopping the initiative, but also of draining Starr and MOF of their funds to fight a legal battle in the courts. Starr filed their intent on March 8 and the “title and summary” were due on or before March 23, but by April 5, 2016, the necessary paperwork was not forthcoming. A counterlawsuit was filed in Superior Court to force the city to produce the “title and summary,” and Judge Rocky Baio, on April 15, ordered the city to release the paperwork. When April 18 rolled around and no paperwork was available, Starr prepared a contempt action against the city. Calculating that there was inadequate time left to collect all the necessary signatures needed, and that they had stalled long enough, the city finally released the paper work on April 20. Remember that there was a May 20 deadline to get the initiative on the ballot. But the city miscalculated. After 10 days of printing and organizing, Starr’s group hit the streets. In just 16 days, needing 1,430 signatures, they collected 3,947 — two days before the May 20 deadline. Measure M passed by 72 percent, almost 3 in 4 voted to roll back the rate increases. Now, in a blatant attack on the underlying principle of our democratic process, the city wants the judge to invalidate Measure M, the will of the people. At this time that decision is still in the hands of the courts. Eugene D Hubbard Oxnard

I called the police department in Ventura to challenge the ticket and even after I explained that I am a senior on a fixed income with health issues, i.e., visiting a doctor in Ventura and I cannot afford the $72 fine, I was told, “Well, you should know the law and the ticket would stand and had to be paid.” After which I spoke with a dozen city and county agencies that offered no help in this regard. A few days ago I drove down to Ventura again to see the same practitioner, parked in a parking lot this time; and I stop and asked a motorcycle cop what was up with this violation in city limits. He replied, “Look, we don’t want you here.” “What?” I asked, “Go live somewhere else,” he replied. I said, “I do. I am only here for the day on personal business,” and he replied, “Get it done and go back to where you came from.” Then he asked to search my day pack. I ask why; he then replied, “To make sure you have no concealed weapons or illegal drugs.” He asked if I was on probation and have I ever been arrested, I replied, “No, certainly not. As a matter of fact, I was once a very successful businessperson in this town. He laughed and said, “Hand me the backpack or I will arrest you for noncompliance of an order from a police officer to hand over the backpack.” I laughed and said, “Go ahead, arrest me. I can’t wait to tell the judge this one.” He drove off on his bike and I drove “home.” Today the citation stands and I still cannot afford a $72 fine. If it is illegal to park a small RV in the streets in Ventura — post it! What’s up with Ventura? Jay North Ojai

GOT A TIP? WE’RE ALL EARS.

If you’ve got a hot news tip, a newsy lukewarm tidbit, or even a juicy little rumor that might actually be true, the VC Reporter news team wants to know all about it. So send a message to editor@ vcreporter.com and we’ll dig a little — or a lot — deeper and your tip may soon be hot off the press. Of course, you can also always call us at 648-2244 ‘cause we love to talk.

What’s up with Ventura Police Dept?

Seems they have become the henchmen for the red county that simply does not want poor and homeless folks living here. Case in point: I had an appointment with a health practitioner in downtown Ventura. I parked on Santa Clara Street. When I came back to my tiny home on wheels (a motorhome) there was a ticket in the windshield for parking an oversize camper in the city limits. OK, so No. 1, there are no signs displayed letting people know they cannot park RVs in downtown Ventura. And No. 2, I cannot afford the dang fine.

CLARIFICATION Kellogg Park in Ventura has a community garden with plots available to rent for $5 per month, or $30 for six months. To rent a plot, go to Ventura Parks, Recreation and Community Partnership office at 501 Poli Street, Room 226.

Avengers: Infinity War

Putting the Marvel in Marvelous by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Avengers: Infinity War Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chadwick Boseman Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, language and some crude references. 2 hr. 29 min. It’s been about two decades since the first superhero from the Merry Marvel Marching Society hit the big screen. Over the last 10 years and 18 films, these complicated, super-powered creations have sprung from their pulpy, primary-colored comic book pages to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s what they call the division of Disney that produced Avengers: Infinity War, a film that’s drawing moviegoers of all ages by the droves. It’s so great that Stan Lee is around, at age 95, to see the fruits of his work (and those of Jack Kirby, and all the writers and illustrators of the original comic kingdom) dominating the box office consistently. Bear in mind, not every person breathlessly awaits each Marvel film with eyes wide and mouth agape. This presents a conundrum. To assume that everyone already knows the quirks, qualities, powers and alter egos of each superhero would be presump-

tuous. On the other hand, to reveal too much here would incur the wrath of fans who have yet to enjoy the movie. I’ll carefully give this a shot. Infinity War begins at the end of the previous war between the Avengers and Thanos (Josh Brolin), a really big galoot with a chin that resembles tuck and roll upholstery on the backseat of a ’57 Chevy. He wants to control the universe. Thanos and the “children” he’s “raised,” while massacring and dominating various beings around the cosmos, are in the midst of defeating Thor, God of

‘‘

der-Man (Tom Holland) form an uneasy trio; the Guardians of the Galaxy (among them Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana) meet those three and, later, Thor. Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) travel to Wakanda to join forces with Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman). A frustrated Bruce Banner has trouble summoning his inner Hulk, but has the presence of mind to ask, “There’s an Ant Man and a Spider-Man?” The key to this film’s success (and its long lines at the theater) is storytelling — and how writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have adapted, applied and maintained the spirit and wit found in the Marvel comic books. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have smoothly interwoven the action for their massive cast of characters. They all contribute. During Avengers: Infinity War, fans cheered when any superhero popped up on the screen, and stayed past the credits, soaking in the names of the men and women who created the CGI and effects that make this such a thunderous, action-filled, eye-popping delight. You’ll want to do that, too: After the credits roll, there’s a preview of the next masterpiece from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Still merry, still Marvel, still marching . . . straight to the bank. And putting the block in blockbuster. ♦

The key to this film’s success (and its long lines at the theater) is storytelling . . . Thunder (Chris Hemsworth). One dying character pipes up a line that could be an early-morning presidential tweet: “We got Hulk!” Suddenly these two similarly sized objects of fury, Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Thanos, do battle. The adventure is on. Over the next two and a half hours, the Marvel AllStars try to save the heavens as the brutal Thanos and his equally hideous minions seek the last of the powerful Infinity stones. All the stars, that is, except the Sub-Mariner. For some reason, Namor, Prince of Atlantis, King of the Sea, has never made it to film. Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Spi-

Casa Pacifica's Best in Fest brew competiton Chicken nachos features sour cream, chunks of chicken, warm, partially refried and whole pinto beans on crisp chips.

Beer avengers assembled to pick the Best In Fest Brewery Competition winner at Oxnard’s Bottle & Pint on Saturday.

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

ongratulations are in order for Topa Topa Brewing Company, winner of the 2018 Best in Fest brewery competition, part of Casa Pacifica’s 25th Anniversary Wine, Food & Brew Festival taking place in June. The Ventura brewery’s Chief Peak IPA took top honors as selected by a panel of seven judges, though the competition was fierce. The 2018 event was the first time the competition was open to the public, held at Bottle & Pint at The Annex in Oxnard. Guests were treated to selections of small bites from Pancake, Scratch Sandwiches and Seoul Sausage to accompany the 12 very generous pours. An interactive guess-thebrewer game proved trickier than expected. The last brewery I expected to submit a pilsner was Camarillo’s Institution Ale. Sneaky. Ojai Valley Brewery wins my personal favorite of the competition with a Belgian Wit featuring pixie tangerines and orchard blossoms, and MadeWest’s rye IPA comes in a close second. My “surprisingly notoffensive” award goes to the Golden Ale with peanut butter and chocolate from Westlake Village’s 14 Cannons Brewery,

a fun entry that perplexed host Curtis Taylor. The judges, wielding professional palates sharpened by years of quaffing, chose via blind tasting Institution’s pilsner, MadeWest’s rye IPA and Topa Topa’s American IPA as the final contenders. Judge Jason Hendrick, general manager of Barrelhouse 101, said that he was searching for a winner that encapsulated the “spirit of the festival.” Kevin Pratt, dubbed the nation’s second-highest-rated beer judge, said that the first thought that popped to mind when tasting the American IPA was “Pliny,” referencing the much sought-after Russian River Brewing Company brew. Rounding out the panel were Zach Rosen, certified Cicerone; Erin Peters, AKA the Beer Goddess; Bec O’Neal, sales rep for Stone Distribution Company; Lisa “Monie” Wickenden, beer specialist for Wine Warehouse; and Jorge Alem, co-owner of Ojai Beverage Company. With a countdown from three, the judges raised their favorites, with a large majority choosing the American IPA. (Candidly, several said that they had a gut feeling it was a Topa Topa brew.) The Chief Peak will be featured at Casa Pacifica’s 25th Anniversary Wine, Food & Brew Festival on Sunday, June 3, in Camarillo. ♦

Fine flavors and welcoming staff at Carmelita's by Michael Sullivan michael@vcreporter.com

Carmelita’s Mexican Food 595 N. Ventura Ave., Oak View 613-3122 $2.50-13.99

everal years back, in search of something new and different outside of obvious shopping centers and landmarks, a friend and I stumbled upon El Charro in Oak View. The food was good, but I wasn’t necessarily lured back until just recently, when I found that El Charro had become Carmelita’s Mexican Food. Carmelita herself was cooking in the back so that felt like a real personal touch — direct name association — that seems fairly rare at restaurants. Upon my companion’s and my first visit to Carmelita’s, the woman tending the register was nothing short of bubbly, friendly and curious. She had an interesting tattoo on her arm and just seemed to be pretty excited about her job. The layout was identical to El Charro, with a handful of booths, tables outside, order at the counter and a salsa bar. The salsa station was familiar, looked the same; maybe the salsas had changed a bit but not too much. For our main meal, we ordered a basket of chips and we split a breakfast burrito with chorizo, cheese,

eggs and potatoes. For our drinks, we ordered horchata, but it was breakfast and I really needed some caffeine. I asked Aura, the one at the register, to make it iced coffee with a healthy dousing of horchata. I told her, Carmelita’s could be the home to the iced coffee horchata drink. The blend of rice milk, cinnamon and that bitter flavor of coffee hit

the spot. She tried her own cup of it and she really seemed to like it. I am officially hooked. Starbucks can shut down for however long as far as I am concerned. With our burrito and chips, I got individual cups of all the different salsas. The blended avocado salsa was smooth and creamy, like a well-prepared protein shake. The watery, light-orange habanero hot sauce will knock your socks off. The blended fresh tomatoes salsa is mild but acidic. The fresh diced mango

and pepper salsa adds a nice tang to any dish. During another visit, I was again surprised by yet another clerk who was kind, respectful, helpful. It’s nice walking into a place where people aren’t watching the clock for the shift to be over. During this visit, we ordered horchata and the Jamaica punch, full order of nachos with chicken and a steak burrito. I took my first bite of the nachos and got warm liquid sour cream, a chunk of chicken, warm partially refried and whole pinto beans on a crisp chip, which of course led to several more chips. The burrito came with Mexican rice, refried beans and chunks of steak, though my companion noted that he wasn’t noticing a lot of steak as he ate it. But it satiated his appetite nonetheless. As for the change of ownership, I think Carmelita’s has potential to thrive, but it might take something unique, maybe daily specials (I didn’t notice any when we visited) or entertainment, to make it stick in the quiet setting of Oak View. While it’s a great little community, it’s seems as if it may be caught in a too-serene and -still way of being. Maybe a little more spice and flavor will keep it going indefinitely. Or maybe it’s just perfect the way it is. We shall see and we will be back, at least to visit the friendly staff. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Putting the removes on someone

recently had my addiction recovery memoir published. I’m very honest and vulnerable in it, and readers feel super-connected to me because of it. Most just briefly thank me for how it changed their life, etc. However, a few have really latched on to me via social media. I respond to their first message, and then they write back with pretty much a whole novel and message me constantly. I don’t want to be mean, but this is time-consuming and draining.

— Unprepared Not to worry … that fan won’t be stalking you forever — that is, if

by amy alkon

you’ll just sign the medical release she’s had drawn up for the two of you to get surgically conjoined. In writing your book, you probably wanted to help others get the monkey off their back — not point them to the open space on yours so they could line up to take its place. The interaction these fans have with you is a “parasocial” relationship, a psych term describing a strong one-sided emotional bond a person develops with a fictional character, celebrity or media figure. These people aren’t crazy; they know, for example, that Jimmy Kimmel isn’t their actual “bro.” But we’re driven by psychological adaptations that are sometimes poorly matched with our modern world, as they evolved to solve mating and survival problems in an ancestral (hunter-gatherer) environment. Though it still pays for us to try to get close to high-status people — so we might learn the ropes, get status by association, and get some trickle-down benefits — the adaptation pushing us to do this evolved when we gathered around fires, not flat-screens. This makes our poor little Stone Age minds ill-equipped to differentiate between people we know and people we know from

‘‘

books, movies and TV. Psychologist David C. Giles and others who study parasocial relationships were used to these interactions remaining one-sided, as until recently, it was challenging to even find a celeb’s agent’s mailing address to send them a letter (which might only be seen by some assistant to their agent’s assistant). However, as you’ve experienced, that’s changed thanks to social

an “internal state of peace” a person feels when they’re treated as if they have value and their feelings matter. Preserving a person’s dignity can actually make the difference between their hating you and their accepting your need to have a life — beyond waiting around to respond to their next 8,000-word email on their dating history, their medication allergies and their special relationship with cheese.

Dignity is an “internal state Is it of peace” a person feels when they’re Hello. me you’re treated as if they have value and cooking for? I’m a single their feelings matter. woman in my midmedia, which is to say, Beyonce’s on Twitter. But the fact that you can be reached doesn’t mean you owe anyone your time. As soon as you see someone trying to hop the fence from fan to friend, write something brief but kind, such as: “It means a lot to me that you connected with my book. However, I’m swamped with writing deadlines, so I can’t carry on an email exchange, much as I’d like to. Hope you understand!” This message establishes a boundary, but without violating your fan’s dignity. Dignity, explains inter national conflict resolution specialist Donna Hicks, is

30s, and I can’t cook. I’m also not interested in learning. My parents are old-school, and this worries them. They keep telling me that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Is that really still true?

—Takeout Queen A man does not stay with a mean woman simply because she makes a mean pot roast: “Yeah, bro, I was all ready to leave her, but then my stomach chained itself to the kitchen table.” However, what really matters for a lot of men is that you’re loving as you pry the plastic lid off their din-

ner. Being loving is not just a state of mind; it is something you do — a habit of being responsive to what marriage researcher John Gottman calls “bids” from your partner for your attention, affection or support. Being responsive involves listening to and engaging with your partner, even in the mundane little moments of life. So when your man grumbles that his hairline is retreating like the Germans at Kursk, you say something sweet or even funny back — as opposed to treating his remark like background noise or snarling something about being late to work. Sure, some men will find it a deal breaker that you don’t cook — same as some will find it a deal breaker if you aren’t up for raising children or llamas. But even a cursory familiarity with male anatomy suggests there are a number of ways to a man’s heart, from the obvious — a surgical saw through the sternum — to a more indirect but far more popular route: showing him you can tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue. ♦ (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

I hate rampant consumerism almost as much as I hate hatred, so I don’t offer the following advice lightly: Buy an experience that could help liberate you from the suffering you’ve had trouble outgrowing. Or buy a toy that can thaw the frozen joy that’s trapped within your out-of-date sadness. Or buy a connection that might inspire you to express a desire you need help in expressing. Or buy an influence that will motivate you to shed a belief or theory that has been cramping your lust for life. Or all of the above! (And if buying these things isn’t possible, consider renting.)

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

These days you have an enhanced ability to arouse the appreciation and generosity of your allies, friends and loved ones. The magnetic influence you’re emanating could even start to evoke the interest and inquiries of mere acquaintances and random strangers. Be discerning about how you wield that potent stuff! On the other hand, don’t be shy about using it to attract all the benefits it can bring you. It’s OK to be a bit greedier for goodies than usual as long as you’re also a bit more compassionate than usual.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

I bet that a healing influence will arrive from an unexpected direction and begin to work its subtle but intense magic before anyone realizes what’s happening. I predict that the bridge you’re building will lead to a place that’s less flashy but more useful than you imagined. And I’m guessing that although you may initially feel jumbled by unforeseen outcomes, those outcomes will ultimately be redemptive. Hooray for lucky flukes and weird switcheroos!

CANCER

by rob brezsny (June 21-July 22):

Born under the astrological sign of Cancer, Franz Kafka is regarded as one of the 20th century’s major literary talents. Alas, he made little money from his writing. Among the day jobs he did to earn a living were stints as a bureaucrat at insurance companies. His superiors there praised his efforts. “Superb administrative talent,” they said about him. Let’s use this as a take-off point to meditate on your destiny, Cancerian. Are you good at skills you’re not passionate about? Are you admired and acknowledged for having qualities that aren’t of central importance to you? If so, the coming weeks and months will be a favorable time to explore this apparent discrepancy. I believe you will have the power to get closer to doing more of what you love to do.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

If you really wanted to, you could probably break the world’s record for most words typed per minute with the nose (103 characters in 47 seconds). I bet you could also shatter a host of other marks, as well, like eating the most hot chiles in two minutes, or weaving the biggest garland using defunct iPhones, or dancing the longest on a tabletop while listening to a continuous loop of Nirvana’s song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But I hope you won’t waste your soaring capacity for excellence on meaningless stunts like those. I’d rather see you break your own personal records for accomplishments like effective communications, high-quality community-building and smart career moves.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was among history’s three most influential scientists. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has been described as the central figure in modern philosophy. Henry James (1843-1916) is

regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent art critic and social thinker. What did these four men have in common? They never had sex with anyone. They were virgins when they died. I view this fact with alarm. What does it mean that Western culture is so influenced by the ideas of men who lacked this fundamental initiation? With that as our context, I make this assertion: If you hope to make good decisions in the coming weeks, you must draw on the wisdom you have gained from being sexually entwined with other humans.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting,” said 20th-century abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning. “Cézanne did it. Picasso did it with cubism. Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all to hell.” In de Kooning’s view, these “destructive” artists performed a noble service. They demolished entrenched ideas about the nature of painting, thus liberating their colleagues and descendants from stale constraints. Judging from the current astrological omens, Libra, I surmise that the near future will be a good time for you to wreak creative destruction in your own field or sphere. What progress and breakthroughs might be possible when you dismantle comfortable limitations?

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Mayflies are aquatic insects with short life spans. Many species live less than 24 hours, even though the eggs they lay may take three years to hatch. I suspect this may be somewhat of an apt metaphor for your future, Scorpio. A transitory or short-duration experience could leave a legacy that will ripen for a long time before it hatches. But that’s where the metaphor breaks down. When your legacy has fully

ripened — when it becomes available as a living presence — I bet it will last a long time.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

When a critic at Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the Beatles’ Abbey Road in 1969, he said that some of the songs were “so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to.” He added, “Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this.” Years later, however, Rolling Stone altered its opinion, naming Abbey Road the 14th best album of all time. I suspect, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase with metaphorical resemblances to the earlier assessment. But I’m reasonably sure that this will ultimately evolve into being more like the later valuation — and it won’t take years.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, love should be in full bloom. You should be awash in worthy influences that animate your beautiful passion. So how about it? Are you swooning and twirling and uncoiling? Are you overflowing with a lush longing to celebrate the miracle of being alive? If your answer is yes, congratulations. May your natural intoxication levels continue to rise. But if my description doesn’t match your current experience, you may be out of sync with cosmic rhythms. And if that’s the case, please take emergency measures. Escape to a sanctuary where you can shed your worries and inhibitions and maybe even your clothes. Get drunk on undulating music as you dance yourself into a dreamy love revelry.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“Life never gives you anything that’s all bad or all good.” So proclaimed the smartest Aquarian 6-yearold girl I know as we kicked a big orange ball around a playground. I agreed with her! “Twenty years from

now,” I told her, “I’m going to remind you that you told me this heartful truth.” I didn’t tell her the corollary that I’d add to her axiom, but I’ll share it with you: If anything or anyone seems to be all bad or all good, you’re probably not seeing the big picture. There are exceptions, however! For example, I bet you will soon experience or are already experiencing a graceful stroke of fate that’s very close to being all good.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

“Enodation” is an old, nearly obsolete English word that refers to the act of untying a knot or solving a knotty problem. “Enodous” means “free of knots.” Let’s make these your celebratory words of power for the month of May, Pisces. Speak them out loud every now and then. Invoke them as holy chants and potent prayers leading you to discover the precise magic that will untangle the kinks and snarls you most need to untangle. – What’s the most important question you need an answer for in the next five years? Deliver your best guess to me. Freewillastrology.com.

LEGAL of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

INA SPERLING; INA LESLIE SPERLING; INA L. SPERLING, DECEDENT Case No: 56-2018-00510754PR-LA-OXN To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: INA SPERLING; INA LESLIE SPERLING; INA L. SPERLING. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: JOYCE SPERLING in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that: JOYCE SPERLING be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: June 6, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. J6. Address of court: Superior Court of California, County of Ventura, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Center. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of

estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: David E. Edsall, Esq., (SBN 86217), Edsall Law, A Professional Law Corporation, 751 Daily Drive, Suite 325, Camarillo, CA 93010, Tel: (805) 484-9002.
