OPINION

June Primary Election Endorsements

W

hile few in the state will be promised a victory overall this June, having to wait for the November election, the primaries will set in motion the reality of Democratic fervor after the election of Donald Trump, with one exception: The top-two vote-getters (regardless of party affiliated) will advance to the general election, not the top vote-getters per party. California, along with Washington and Nebraska, are the only states to have such a system in place.

This will be the first gubernatorial election for California with the new voting system and will collectively show how well-organized Democrats really are. For Ventura County, however, most of the higher office positions, such as U.S. House of Representatives and state Assembly candidates, have only incumbents, plus one or two candidates, with top-two voter-getters to run again in November. There are only a few seats that are actually interesting, which we endorse below. As for the nonpartisan positions with only one person running, such as such as the assessor, district attorney and sheriff, we only say, there is always room for improvement.

If the quality of life isn’t improving for people in the community you serve or will be serving, perhaps it’s time to reassess the status quo.

GOVERNOR

On the June ballot, there are 12 Democratic gubernatorial candidates, five Republicans and 10 others (Libertarian, Peace and Freedom, Green and “none”). Four candidates seem to be making headway and headlines statewide, Democrats Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Treasurer John Chiang and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and businessman and Republican John H. Cox, who has been endorsed by Trump. This is a rather precarious situation for Democrats, should any of the Democrats to have to face off in November, which, by all appearances would be Newsom versus Chiang or Villaraigosa. While Villaraigosa is garnering attention in Southern California, Chiang and Newsom seem to have a broader appeal statewide. We feel comfortable with seeing who has the best ideas among the Democrats at this time versus a more polarized point of view for California by supporting Cox, given what we have seen come from Trump.

We, however, are leaning toward Newsom, who has served under Gov. Jerry Brown since 2011, and speaks about California becoming more progressive, and Chiang, who comes from a more reserved fiscally focused perspective. Ideally, they would join forces for the November ballot if they are not competing. We believe that Democrats have a good thing going in the state, except for one major problem: affordable housing. Whoever can reasonably address that with tangible solutions we will stand behind. Until that time, vote for either Gavin Newsom or John Chiang for the primary election.

TREASURER

It’s rare to see a familiar name running for a state seat, but Fiona Ma, a certified public accountant who lives part time in Silverstrand with her husband and Port of Hueneme/ Oxnard Harbor Commissioner Jason Hodge, has been a winner in elections since 1994, her first seat as the president of the Asian Busi-

ness Association. She also served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the California Assembly and is now on the state Board of Equalization. We believe that she has the ability to properly serve in the role as treasurer, and her credentials support that. Nevertheless, however, having a local heading a state department is surely better than yet another unfamiliar name. Vote for Fiona Ma for Treasurer.

PROPOSITION 68

Authorizes bonds funding parks, natural resources protection, climate adaptation, water quality and supply, and flood protection. If approved, $4 billion in “general obligation” bonds will be issued, adding an average of $200 million annually to bond repayment costs over 40 years while saving local governments “tens of millions of dollars” on natural resources-related projects.

Two-thirds of the funds are dedicated to building and maintaining parks with a priority for neighborhoods with no parks. The positive effects a park can have on a neighborhood is on full display in Ventura’s Kellogg Park, which recently opened on the west side, though it took nearly a decade of fundraising to do so.

This proposition could speed up the process by making funds available to needed projects.

The remaining funds are allocated toward procuring clean drinking water, protecting communities from wildfires and mudslides, and water conservation for farmers. Vote Yes on Prop. 68.

2018

U.S. SENATOR

Every once in a while the feeling of being stuck in a rut becomes palpable. While Diane Feinstein has received the support of California voters since 1992, longer than many young voters have been alive, and continues to be the frontrunner at 84 years old, we feel that it’s time for a different voice in Congress. While Feinstein recently backtracked on the death penalty and pot prohibition, both of which she said she no longer supports, state Sen. Kevin de León, author of the California Values Act, aka the sanctuary state law, is a mover and shaker catching the attention of passionate Democrats across the state. Though the sanctuary state law has proven to be controversial, De León’s dedication to justice for all human beings is admirable. Vote for Kevin de León for U.S. Senator.

U.S. House of Representatives, District 2 (Simi Valley) This seat happens to be one of the most contentious ones in the state. With Trump’s election came a lot of angry Democrats who felt that Rep. Steve Knight did not come close to representing their values. For those who like Trump, choose the incumbent. For those who do not, Bryan Caforio is giving it another try from his failed run in 2016 against Knight and seems to have the best name recognition for such an important election. We have, however, heard that Katie Hill stands a good chance. Whatever the case may be, Democrats in the district need get behind one who is strong enough to vote Knight out. Vote Bryan Caforio for U.S. House of Representatives.

Ventura County Supervisor, District 4 With Supervisor Peter Foy opting not to run for re-election, Simi Valley Mayor Bob Huber, Ventura County Community College District Trustee Bernardo Perez and farmer Andy Waters have all filed to run. Interestingly enough, Perez took Huber’s seat on the board when Huber was elected mayor of Simi Valley.

Each of them has his own unique qualifications, but it is Waters who seems to be standing out, at least in terms of local support. Driving through the quiet rural roads of East County, Waters’ signs no doubt stand out. If Waters is on the ground, making friends and building relationships the old-fashioned way, we feel that he should at least make it to the November election so we can learn more about him in the interim. Vote for Andy Waters for County Supervisor, District 4.

PROPOSITION 69

Requires that certain new transportation revenues be used for transportation purposes (constitutional amendment). If passed, the measure would require that revenues generated by the 2017 transportation funding law, known as SB-1, be used only for transportation purposes. It also prohibits the Legislature from diverting funds to other purposes.

Californians are feeling the effects of SB-1 at the pump and when renewing vehicle registrations. Requiring that the funds be spent on what they were adopted for to begin with is a no-brainer. Vote Yes on Prop. 69.

PROPOSITION 70

Requires legislative supermajority vote approving use of cap-and-trade reserve fund (constitutional amendment). Would require that a cap-and-trade revenue fund be created for use by the Legislature only if a two-thirds majority authorizes the use of said funds.

Sadly, the boondoggled bullet train will sap $730 million from the program this year alone. In 2017, to get the cap-and-trade program renewed, Gov. Jerry Brown had to agree to this measure that would require another two-thirds vote in 2024 for renewal. If in six years the bullet train is still a fiasco, perhaps its existence will need to be rightfully used as a bargaining chip. Vote Yes on Prop. 70.

PROPOSITION 71

Sets the effective date for ballot measures (constitutional amendment). Assures that ballot measures approved by a majority of voters take effect five days after certification by the secretary of state.

This measure would change the date that laws go into effect from the day after the vote to the day after the secretary of state certifies the result, taking into account vote-by-mail ballots. As the number of voters choosing to cast their ballots by mail increases, so too does the

likelihood that results can change from how they appear on Election Day, threatening to disenfranchise a significant portion of the voting populace. This measure ensures that all votes are treated equally. Vote Yes on Prop. 70.

PROPOSITION 72

Permits Legislature to exclude newly constructed rain-capture systems from propertytax reassessment requirement (constitutional amendment). Permits Legislature to allow construction of rain-capture systems on or after Jan. 1, 2019, without requiring a new property-tax assessment.

Supporters of the measure say that it would encourage homeowners to install rain-catching systems free from the cost of a property-tax increase and that such devices are beneficial to a state dealing with long-term drought.

No one should be punished for conserving. This proposition removes the need for a reassessment and thus promotes conservation throughout our drought-ridden state. Vote Yes on Prop. 72.

Coffee Bar Economics, Part 2

by Raymond Freeman

T

his continues the summary of my economic presentations.

Reaganomics is the fine art of giving handouts and tax breaks to the wealthy, saying with a straight face that deficits will shrink and everyone will get richer because more money will “trickle down” and get spent, boosting the economy. In reality, deficits shoot up and nothing trickles down to the worker bees, who instead work harder due to union-busting.

The money does not “trickle” anywhere.

My audiences see it gushing, gushing down to the Cayman Islands, a tax haven. But money stashed in tax havens by the wealthy is neither taxed and spent by Uncle Sam, nor paid in wages and spent by consumers.

Fully 70 percent of America’s economy is driven by consumer spending. It is therefore important for consumers to get money. Business Insider tells us how: “Most consumers work, so another name for them is ‘employees.’ ” But Republicans, beholden to their donors, want starvation wages. These corporate donors are notoriously short-sighted. Henry Ford famously sold far more cars after he doubled wages.

Conversely, low wages throttle America’s economy — and you with it.

Consider this: McDonald’s workers in Denmark earn $45,000 a year with benefits. No wonder Denmark is often the world’s happiest country. Yes, the cost of a Big Mac is 25 cents extra, but Danes pay it gladly. It is cheaper than subsidizing McDonalds via taxation.

In contrast, America’s taxpayers subsidize

Housing heals homelessness I’ve read with sadness of the tragedy at the Aloha … along with the shaming of the mentally ill and the homeless. It’s so easy to be judgmental, but much harder to walk in the shoes of those just existing on the streets.

Mental illness playing tricks on the mind, blending night into day in a never ending cycle of hopelessness and despair.

Ventura needs more transitional housing combined with targeted services to truly effect change. I look at the successful model of The City Center Transitional Living Community.

Transforming the old City Center Motel into a transitional living community for homeless children and custodial parent needing to heal and rebuild their lives. Each room has been transformed into a little “home,” providing respite from the streets and a secure place to change their plight in life. Each is required to get a job, pay rent on a sliding scale, contribute to a savings account monthly and manage their day to day expenses with the balance.

All the while the residents are supported with mentorship, counseling, parenting and life

fabulously profitable companies. Their workers are so miserably paid that they need welfare. Hence, taxpayers like you subsidize billionaires who could easily pay livable wages.

Walmart alone is subsidized over $6 billion a year (Forbes). This is socialism for the wealthy.

Our second economic problem is low taxes.

Over half of today’s national debt was produced by their ruinous wars and socialism for the wealthy. Simply put, Republicans run wild with Uncle Sam’s credit

My audiences see it gushing, gushing down to the Cayman Islands, a tax haven.

But money stashed in tax havens by the wealthy is neither taxed and spent by Uncle Sam, nor paid in wages and spent by consumers.”

Amazon paid zero federal taxes in 2017. By international standards, taxes here are very low. Americans are conditioned to hate taxation. But taxes do not vanish into a black hole in outer space. They are spent here on earth. In fact, government spending is 21 percent of the economy. Taxing the wealthy unlocks America’s idle money and puts it to work (See: Interstate Highways, 1950s). Simply put, low taxes on the wealthy throttle America’s economy — and you with it.

Third, government spending far outstrips its income (See: bloated military budget). Uncle Sam therefore borrows money. We used to pay it back routinely. That stopped with Presi-

card and stick your kids with the tab.

President Donald Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will load $1.9 trillion on to national debt (Congressional Budget Office) as further socialism for the wealthy. They will receive 83 percent of the swag (Tax Policy Center). By 2028, nearly $1 trillion will be forked over for interest alone. To finance this, courtesy of the “Tax Scam Act,” dearest reader, your taxes will soon GO UP. Republicans played Americans for fools.

Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Kentucky, said: “Speaker Ryan told us the GOP tax bill would help companies like Harley-Davidson hire more workers. So what’d the company do once it became

skills, along with financial literacy classes all geared toward healing the human spirit.

While adhering to rules and responsibilities they learn to rebuild their self-confidence and self-worth.

Since December of 2013 The City Center has welcomed 62 families that were homeless, each received housing and the resources to get off the streets and into a program to help them become self-sufficient. Each of these families has returned into our community, finally off the streets but it all started with HOUSING! Please support TheCityCenter.org and make a positive change for both our community and the homeless.

Perhaps the name of the much-needed yearlong shelter in Ventura could be named “The Aloha” and really embody to true Aloha Spirit, and the spirit of San Buenaventura, one of alliance of one’s mind, heart and soul evident by thinking good thoughts, performing good deeds and sharing goodness with others.

Responsible stance

Jeanne Benitez Ventura

For those who may not know, a coalition of SB-54 opponents are descending on city council meetings across Southern California, including Thousand Oaks and Camarillo, pressuring councilmembers to pass resolutions against Senate Bill 54, The California Values Act (also known as the “Sanctuary State” bill).

I attended the May 1 Thousand Oaks City Council Goal Setting Meeting. The public comments insinuated that the only goal of T.O. residents was getting a resolution against SB-54 placed on the next council agenda.

I doubt that opposing SB-54, as well as AB-450 (immigration worksite enforcement) and AB-103 (state oversight of ICE detention) — which together make up the Jeff Sessions’/ DOJ lawsuit against California — is the singular goal of Thousand Oaks residents. Thousand Oaks is too educated for that.

SB-54 opposition distracts from the work a city should be doing. If I lived in T.O., I’d want to hear about what the council plans to do for public safety because I’m more worried about crime from people born here than from undocumented immigrants, who are unlikely to engage in criminal activities that increase

law? Bought back $700 million in stocks, fired 800 workers and opened a plant … in Thailand.”

Even Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, has admitted that workers will not benefit from Trump’s con job. He told The Economist: “There is still a lot of thinking on the right that if big corporations are happy, they’re going to take the money they’re saving and reinvest it in American workers. In fact … there’s no evidence whatsoever that the money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”

Republicans should have increased taxes on the wealthy. They are irresponsible. Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility. To quote David Stockman, the architect of Reaganomics, no less, “The debt explosion has resulted not from big spending by the Democrats, but instead the Republican Party’s embrace of the doctrine that deficits don’t matter if they result from tax cuts.”

Republican tax cuts for the wealthy achieve nothing. Economist Thomas Piketty concluded in his famous book Capital In The TwentyFirst Century: “The U.S. has not grown any more rapidly since 1980 than Germany, France, Japan, Denmark or Sweden. The reduction of top marginal tax rates and the rise of top incomes do not seem to have stimulated productivity (contrary to the predictions of supplyside theory).”

Simply put, the numbers prove the worker bees get nothing from Republican socialism for the wealthy. Trump himself even said, “The economy does better under the Democrats than under the Republicans” (CNN, March 21, 2004).

Ask Rep. Steve Knight, R-Palmdale, why this is so. Try to keep a straight face. ♦

their risk of deportation.

And I’d want my city to work on becoming a welcoming town to all people. Joining the Sessions’ lawsuit says “stay away” to certain folks. That’s bad for the soul of the city. That’s bad for business.

Besides, the law doesn’t change because a resolution opposing SB-54 is adopted. It just lets undocumented immigrants know that the council doesn’t care about your right to due process.

A city opposing SB-54 really only achieves the polarization of its community. It makes conservatives in town seem racist, liberals seem idealistic, and puts undocumented immigrants and the people who care for them on edge. And it would be too idealistic to ask the city councils of Thousand Oaks and Camarillo to support SB-54. I just ask that they steer clear of opposing SB-54 and allow the courts to figure out the constitutionality of it. That would do much to ease the division in our communities. That would be the responsible stance.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON VENTURA HARBOR HOTEL EXPANSION

Robert F. Kennedy speaks to a crowd at the Buenaventura Mall in 1968 on the presidential campaign trail.

The night RFK died

Local eyewitness recalls the assassination of presidential hopeful 50 years ago

by Ivor Davis

E

xactly half a century ago this week, Sen. Robert Kennedy, the man who would be president, roared across Ventura County. At La Colonia in Oxnard and at the overflowing Buenaventura Mall, he delivered fiery speeches, hugged his supporters and shook hands until his fingers were literally bruised and bleeding.

In June l968 I witnessed all of this firsthand as a foreign correspondent for the London Daily Express when I traveled with Bobby throughout California. He had become the Democratic presidential frontrunner and hot favorite to win the presidency.

President Lyndon Baines Johnson had become something of a pariah as a result of his mishandling of the escalating Vietnam War. For America, l968 was to be a memorable year — but for all the horribly wrong reasons: An unwinnable war that had divided the nation, and gun violence that destroyed the lives of two of the country’s most famous men, men who had offered hope, dramatic change and a brighter more peaceful future.

The year started badly on Jan. 23, when North Korea (yes, that very same North Korea we are dancing with right now) captured the USS Pueblo, a U.S. Navy intelligence-gathering vessel, and its crew. The sailors weren’t released for 11 months, deeply embarrassing the administration and the Pueblo’s brave Cmdr. Lloyd Bucher, who had undergone severe torture.

Barely a week later tens of thousands of North Vietnamese troops began a series of surprise attacks across Vietnam. What became known as the “Tet Offensive” turned many Americans against a war they saw as unwinnable.

On March 12 antiwar Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota nearly defeated President Lyndon Johnson in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. It underlined the growing opposi-

tion to the Vietnam War. On March 16th U.S. troops killed more than 500 Vietnamese civilians, including children, in a village. The carnage became known as “The My Lai Massacre,” and it came to symbolize all that had gone wrong in the war.

On March 31, President Johnson stunned the nation by announcing that he would not seek another term.

On April 4, America’s legendary civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was gunned down in a Memphis motel.

His senseless murder led to bloody riots in Baltimore, Boston and Chicago.

On April 11, with nightly TV news anchors grimly reporting the ever-mounting death toll of young Americans in faraway Vietnam, the military announced that it was sending even more young men off to war. There were now 549,500 U.S. troops fighting one of the most unpopular wars in U.S. history.

In June l968, for millions of Americans, Bobby Kennedy, running for President with a fierce and popular campaign to end the slaughter in Vietnam and bring the troops home, had become the nation’s best and brightest hope to stop the killing in Southeast Asia.

At 42, he was the energetic charismatic candidate favored to put another Kennedy into the White House and bring Camelot back to America. He campaigned, long and hard — 85 days nonstop. With his very pregnant wife Ethel — mother of his 10 children — at his side and even their dog Freckles along for the ride, Kennedy played to packed, exuberant houses.

At each stop along the campaign trail, his handlers grimly hung onto Kennedy’s body as he fearlessly waded into the crowd like a rock star. Voters were passionate. Time and again I watched as his small frame was pulled into the adoring masses.

They just wanted to touch, hug and pay homage to John Ken-

An expansion of the existing Holiday Inn Express and Suites has begun, which will add an additional 40 rooms.

With the addition, the hotel will have a total of 109 rooms and will feature an expanded lobby and new front exterior entryway.

Vice president of Brighton Management Victor Dollar says that the hotel is 95 percent booked year-round.

“Our occupancy has been so high that it’s created the demand,” said Dollar.

The expansion comes at a time when the Ventura Harbor is seeing several new projects, including a 300-apartment, mixeuse development, and a high-end hostel and luxury hotel

by H. Parker Hospitality proposed for the area toward the end of Spinnaker Drive.

18-YEAR-OLD LAWSUIT OVER TOXIC PAINT NEARS END WITH FIRST SETTLEMENT

Over 22,000 homes in Ventura County, where the use of lead paint created a toxic hazard, could have the problem solved by a proposed $60 million settlement 18 years in the making.

In the year 2000, Santa Clara County filed a public nuisance lawsuit against three lead-paint manufacturers, NL Industries Inc., ConAgra Grocery Products Co. and SherwinWilliams Co. for their roles in manufacturing lead paint used in homes built before 1951.

Since the lawsuit was filed, 10 other cities and counties have joined in, including Ventura County in March 2011. The settlement deal includes NL Industries Inc., while litigation involving ConAgra and Sherwin-Williams is ongoing.

In 2010, 34 Ventura County children tested positive for elevated levels of lead, which can lead to severe and permanent developmental effects on the brain and nervous system.

FUNDS ACQUIRED FOR RICE AVENUE BRIDGE IN OXNARD

At an event held on Tuesday, May 22, Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, announced that $68.6 million in funding for a bridge lifting South Rice Road over railroad tracks in Oxnard near East Fifth Street had been acquired, a longtime requested project for the site of several high-profiletrain-versus vehicle incidents.

The funding is part of more than $1.2 billion procured through Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act, funds set aside for cities and counties in Southern California for improvements and upgrades to streets and roads.

In 2015, the crossing at Rice Road was the scene of a deadly incident in which a Metrolink train collided with a pickup truck. The driver of the truck fled on foot and the train’s engineer later died from injuries sustained. The intersection prior to that had been the site of several incidents and has the dubious distinction of being dubbed the most dangerous crossing in the state.

“I’m incredibly thankful to Gov. [Jerry] Brown for working with my office to make this project a priority,” said Irwin. “The Rice Avenue grade separation is a decades-long project that will save lives, improves air quality and freight movement, and brings good paying jobs to the region.”

CAREER WORKSHOPS TO BE HELD IN OXNARD

Oxnard job seekers beware: A career workshop is coming to your neighborhood in the month of June.

The West County America’s Job Center will host several workshops with various themes.

On June 1 and 15, “Résumés that Sell” will give attendees the opportunity to walk away with a portfolio that shows off professional skills. June 8’s “Winning Interviews” workshop offers participants the tools to make a good first impression; and June 12 is a workshop dedicated to veterans.

For more information, including a full schedule, call 2045171. The West County America’s Job Center is located at 2901 N. Ventura Road, third floor, Oxnard.

Building a railway Historian brings Rancho Camulos’ locomotive history to life

WIN FOR INITIATIVE PROCESS Oxnard’s Measure M ruled valid; Council in limbo over appeal

One of the few remaining photographs of the depot on the Camulos Ranch property as it stood in 1936.

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

O

n Sunday, June 3, architectural historian Jean-Guy Dubé will visit Rancho Camulos in Piru to discuss a lesser-known aspect of the historic site and museum: its significance in the expansion of the Southern Pacific Railway.

The railway began laying tracks in 1887 through Piru across land owned by the Del Valle family. The company constructed several structures to accommodate crews working the line, some of which are still standing, while others you may have to look more closely to find.

Dubé’s book Railroad Depots: A Southern Pacific Collection features his blueprint drawings of California depots and other structures. In 2017, Dubé won the Leicester B. Holland Prize, an award for the best single-sheet drawing of a historic building site or structure from the National Park Service, for his drawing of the stable at Santa Paula’s Wallace Libbey Hardison House.

VCReporter: When did the railway first make its way through Piru?

Jean-Guy Dubé: In 1886, the Southern Pacific was building its line and they wanted to build a coastal route from L.A. to San Francisco, so they chose the Santa Clara River valley. Their goal was to build all the way to Ventura and connect to the rail lines near San Francisco. Construction started in 1887, and as they progressed down the valley they started establishing depots. What’s interesting is that when the railroad came through they typically bought up the right of way, but when they came to the Camulos Ranch, the Del Valle family didn’t want to sell so they actually leased their land, an unusual instance. Every 10 miles they established these little section houses to maintain the railroad, and a small crew of men were responsible for repairing the track and serving the railway right of way. They built the section house in 1887 and established a little freight platform to serve the ranch. At that time, they were raising grapes and selling wine. Around 1896 or so, they added on a little freight shed.

A few years before that, Hellen Hunt Jackson was preparing her book Ramona and she made the ranch the fictional setting for the

home. When the railroad finally came through, people started using the railroad to visit, so people were stopping at the Camulos freight shed to tromp around the grounds of the adobe and property, so it kind of became an impromptu passenger train.

The little building survived up until the 1940s, having been abandoned in the 1930s or so. The Del Valle family disassembled it and turned the lumber into a garage.

What got you into trains and their infrastructure?

I’ve been researching depots ever since I was a kid back in 1983.

I grew up in a railroad town in Indio, California, where we had a magnificent two-story train station. I fell in love with the history and architecture of the buildings and it sparked my career interest in architecture. When I started drawing these blueprints in 1994, I would look for photos, maps or existing blue prints, but usually they don’t exist anymore, so a lot of time I’m re-creating these buildings based on my knowledge of existing depots and structures and construction techniques. I’m also lucky that around Santa Paula and Fillmore there were existing railroad depots that I could study and measure.

Back in 2008, I went out to the ranch. I was in the process of determining what might have happened to the freight shed, and as I was looking around I noticed that this garage had yellow paint on it, which was the color the railroad used, and that the lumber was very old and recycled. I could see tall-tale signs that it was the plank-andwall members of the old freight shed, so I made the determination that the building had been recycled by the family, and I shared that information with the museum.

What can one expect at your lecture?

I’ll be taking people back over 100 years, looking at the history of the railroad as it came from Saugus to the coast, from 1887 until 1904. It’s about raising awareness for these train stations, if they still exist, and also giving people an appreciation of history and for ✦ historic preservation.

A win for former Oxnard mayoral recall candidate Aaron Starr, the court sides with approving the validity of Starr’s Measure M, a 2016 voterapproved initiative to reverse then newly implemented wastewater treatment rates that would have increased by a total of 87 percent over five years. The case was originally filed in March 2017.

“Oxnard has not met its burden of proof, and the court finds Measure M to be a valid exercise of the will of the citizens of Oxnard as expressed through the initiative process,” wrote Superior Court Judge Rocky Baio in an eight-page ruling filed on May 23. Final arguments wrapped up in February.

“The Court finds Measure M to be a valid exercise of the right of the citizens of Oxnard to decide what type of wastewater system would best serve the overall needs of their community,” Baio wrote, noting that the wastewater system was functioning at the time Measure M was voted on.

Baio, however, did end the ruling with: “The Court is compelled to quote Justice Mosk in his dissenting opinion in one of the many cases addressing the validity of the Political Reform Act of 1990 (“Proposition 140”): ‘I observe at the outset that the wisdom of Proposition 140 is of no consequence to the analysis. To be sure, the initiative may be judged foolish and impractical. But it may also be viewed otherwise. Certainly, the exercise of governmental authority by ‘citizens’ as opposed to ‘politicians,’ including the wielding of legislative power, has long been an ideal within the Western political tradition, and sometimes even a reality.”

A May 26 email from Moving Oxnard Forward, Starr’s personal newsletter, addresses the verdict.

“Ultimately, it appears the judge concluded that the voters have a right to choose a Honda Accord system, even if the City Council wants a Mercedes Benz,” he wrote.

In a special session on Tuesday, May 29, Oxnard City Councilmembers discussed appealing the ruling.

“I am very disappointed. But as of now there is no final judgment from which to appeal should the Council ultimately decide to do so,” said Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez. “My reason for opposing this measure was public and environmental health and safety.”

A lesser increase to wastewater rates was implemented last May, however, while the validity of Measure M was going through the legal process. The approval of new rates were the impetus for the recent recall election, which failed. ✦

Dubé will speak on Sunday, June 3, beginning at 3 p.m. at Rancho Camulos Museum, 5164 E. Telegraph Road in Piru. For more information, visit www.ranchocamulos.org. To read more about the Holland Prize, visit www.nps.gov/hdp/competitions/holland_winners.htm.

NOTHING TO HIDE Local mother talks about suicide of teenage son to help others

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

T

hough several months have passed since Garrett Mentzer took his own life, his mother still has flashbacks of the day her son hanged himself at age 17.

“That image will always be in my mind,” recalled Christine Ray of Simi Valley, whose son committed suicide on Oct. 12. “I keep waking up thinking, damn — this is not a bad dream.”

A student at Simi Valley High School, Garrett — who had a twin sister named Madison — had a lot of friends, got decent grades, loved playing the guitar and was known as a really good skateboarder, his mom said.

“Everybody liked him,” said Ray, adding that she and her son had a very close relationship. “He was always going places and doing things. He was pretty good at everything he tried to do.”

Looking back, it’s difficult to pinpoint why, exactly, Garrett took his own life.

“He was threatening (to commit suicide) to his girlfriend about a month before because they had just broken up, but she thought he was just threatening,” Ray remembered. “He was telling me he didn’t want to live his life without her.”

THE PAIN LEFT BEHIND

“No matter how much you think you are close to your kids, they still have their secrets,” Ray said. “This could happen to anyone and people don’t realize that.”

She later discovered that her son researched how to commit suicide on social media, and he took pictures of the rope hanging in his closet and posted them on Instagram and Snapchat.

On the day of his death, when she found him and called 9-1-1, she was instructed to cut him down.

“Teenagers that do something like this are in a lot of pain and obviously suffering from some sort of depression,” Ray said. “It’s a taboo subject until someone is affected directly.

Everybody wants to pretend that ‘It’s never going to happen to me.’ Two weeks before Garrett committed suicide, he said, ‘I could never do that to my mom’ — but he did.”

Although she’s devastated over the death of her son, Ray is attempting to move forward through public speaking events with the hope of preventing more youth suicides in the future by promoting open and honest dialogue.

Most recently, on May 10, she participated in a panel discussion at Santa Susana High School in Simi Valley during an event entitled, “Talk Saves Lives: A Brief Introduction to Suicide Prevention.”

“My message, especially to the kids, is letting them know what this does to the people that are left behind,” Ray said. “No matter what kind of pain Garrett was in, it couldn’t compare to the pain he left behind.”

Her message to teens suffering from depression: “Things change by the hour, things change the next day — everything gets better, then it will get worse again, and then it will get better. It’s just life.”

Her message to those who witness suicidal tendencies in youths: “They should say something to a counselor; say something to anybody — a close friend. And the people they tell

Garrett’s ex-girlfriend is still suffering in the aftermath.

“She’s having such a hard time and I totally understand.

She still comes over,” Ray said. “I’ve tried to get her into counseling, but there are no support groups in this area for that specific type of counseling.”

As far as Garrett’s twin sister is concerned, “She is not dealing at all. She hasn’t acknowledged it,” Ray said.

Today, Ray operates on the idea that “I can’t let his death go in vain.”

She is particularly concerned about posts on Garrett’s social media pages.

“They say, ‘I’ll see you in a year, Garrett,’ ” Ray said. “The only thing I can do is tell their parents and hopefully they’ll get some help.”

SUICIDE RATES ON THE RISE

Suicide rates for Ventura County youths are on the rise, with local experts and agencies citing several possible reasons, including bullying and social media — as well as school pressure to achieve a higher standard of education.

“It’s rising from previous years,” said Pat Montoya, president of a drug awareness group called Not One More, which offers programs that address the underlying issues associated with substance use disorder and the underlying issues behind self-medicating.

Not One More, based in Simi Valley, brings in different speakers associated within these parameters, or directions to resources, and makes presentations to middle schools, high schools, colleges and social youth groups.

In addition to bullies, the Internet age and school pressures, other potential reasons for the rise, Montoya said, include drug availability prescribed through doctors or street drugs to selfmedicate.

“I also believe we are laying more pressures on our adolescents to grow up with more adult responsibilities,” Montoya said.

As far as the most recent statistics on the suicide rates for youths is concerned, Joelle Vessels, director of mental health and youth services at Interface Children and Family Services, noted data from sources including Kidsdata.org and Health Matters in Ventura County. These sources look at statistics from California Department of Public Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Child Trends Databank.

Kidsdata.org, from 2011 to 2013, indicates “completed suicide” is at 8.1 per 100,000 in Ventura County.

“The California rate is 7.7, so we’re higher than the state rate,” Vessels said.

“What’s also interesting is a report on the number of emergency room visits of youth in Ventura County as a result of suicide attempt or intentional self-inflicted injury,” Vessels noted. “The data on California Department of Public Health indicates that from 2009 to 2011, the rate was under 20 per 100,000, compared to just above 40 per 100,000 in 2013-2015.”

SUICIDE ATTEMPTS AND COMPLETED SUICIDE

While Vessels is not a statistician, “The general trend appears to be that suicide attempts and completed suicide has risen from 2009 to 2015,” she said. “Why is the debated ques-

tion — but the good news is that treatment for depression has successful outcomes. Depression can be positively affected by cognitive behavioral therapy and medication management.”

Recent mass shootings and today’s political climate might also be among the factors affecting local suicide rates with youths.

Montoya believes that school shootings are associated with mental illnesses not being addressed, “or the medications that are being used to address mental illness in most cases, and of course shootings in the schools have produced a paranoia and awareness to protect themselves, which produces the need to self-medicate or self-harm.”

“The political climate has had an effect on our youth as we lay and expect more responsibilities on our youth politically and socially, and that their brains are not able to process at their early ages,” Montoya said, further noting that the average rational thinking part of a teen’s brain is not fully developed until age 25.

‘THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT AFFECTS US ALL’

As a clinician, Vessels speaks from a practice viewpoint.

“The social and political environment affects us all, youth included,” Vessels said. “There have been a number of articles and studies over the years to study the impact of televised images and social media. As a therapist, if a youth is depressed, we encourage them and the family to keep it at a minimum, and to practice strategies to improve a sense of well-being.”

Social media has a big play into this, “as we see more and more social-media bullying and information that is absorbed into the youth brain,” Montoya said. “Social media and Internet sites are geared to our youth, and are affecting our youth as they absorb this information.”

“The pressures we are expecting and placing on our youth can’t be comprehended at an earlier age,” he said, “there-

fore causing our youth into depression or selfharming and to either self-medicate, which also leads to depression — or worse, suicide.”

MOVING FORWARD

Now the big question is: How can the community help these youths in Ventura County?

“Treatment is proven to be effective,” Vessels emphasized, adding that still, the No. 1 treatment strategy is cognitive behavioral therapy and medication management.

Additionally, community education on suicide warning signs is a component of the strategy in Ventura County, said Vessels, who noted that the Ventura County Behavioral Health website, Wellness Everyday, offers tips on what to do when engaging a youth who is feeling suicidal.

The Wellness Everyday website noted that according to the most recent California Healthy Kids Survey, 24 percent of seventh graders, 29 percent of ninth graders, and 33 percent of 11th graders felt “sad and hopeless” for two weeks or more during the past year. Additionally, 16 percent of ninth graders and 17 percent of 11th graders seriously considered suicide during the past year.

According to Wellness Everyday, many suicidal youths can act in ways that include a preoccupation with death, suicidal threats made directly or indirectly, notes and plans surrounding suicide, previous suicidal behavior, and making final arrangements such as writing a will or giving away prized possessions. Teens with suicidal tendencies might also exhibit changes in appearance.

Vessels noted that Ventura County Behavioral Health works with local schools to implement SafeTalk, a program designed to train confidential peer counselors.

“Continuing to provide community education and resources is key,” she said, “ensuring the community knows what the resources are and how to access them, ensuring services are available and easily accessible.”

LOCAL TRAINING FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention hopes to advance educational effectiveness through connecting the community with Youth Mental Health First Aid made possible for free by a grant from the city of Simi Valley.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other citizens how to help a youth – age 12 to 18 – who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Participants must be 18 years old or older.

An upcoming training on June 12 and 13 from 5 to 9:30 p.m. will be hosted by Rose Family Funeral Home and Cremation in Simi Valley. Both sessions are required to receive a certification accredited by the National Council for Behavioral Health and is valid for three years after completion.

Participants will learn to support youth who may be developing a mental health disorder. Warning signs and symptoms, risk factors and protective factors will be discussed. Participants learn how to approach a youth, what to say, and what to do using a five-step action plan, ALGEE: • Assess for risk of suicide or harm • Listen non-judgmentally • Give reassurance and information • Encourage appropriate professional help • Encourage self-help and other support strategies Dinner will be provided and space is limited. Preregistration is required. To register, email mecollins@voice4families. com or register online at Youth Mental Health First Aid Registration

‘WE NEED MORE MENTAL AWARENESS AND TREATMENT’

From Montoya’s perspective, “I think we need more mental awareness and treatment for our youth without all of the pharmaceutical aspects in most cases.”

Additionally, Montoya believes that we need to have more awareness in schools with more resource counselors on campuses.

“We need to parent, including monitoring our children’s social-media immersions, create positive thinking with less pressures to achieve a college degree or sports or academic

Footworks Youth Ballet leaps into summer with Giselle, Peter and the Wolf

A

s the saying goes: “Dance like nobody’s watching.”

Well, the young dancers of Footworks Youth Ballet will soon bring all their exuberance, talent and sheer joy of dance into the spotlight for everyone to enjoy.

The nonprofit arm of Oakley Ballet Center in Ventura, Footworks Youth Ballet will be presenting two productions at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center. The first is the beautifully moody Giselle, by composer Adolphe Adam, on June 2, followed by a double bill of one-act ballets by Sergei Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf and Classical Symphony on June 3. (The company will also offer special outreach performances at a discounted rate on June 1.)

“Our spring productions exemplify the breadth of our repertoire,” says Elizabeth Manninen, Footworks Youth Ballet’s marketing manager. “We’re really lucky to enjoy all different [types of] ballet.”

Thought by many to be the greatest ballet of the Romantic period, Giselle is a tragic story of love and betrayal about a young woman who falls for a nobleman in disguise. Taking place long ago in a German village, nestled in a dark and foreboding forest, Giselle is “moody and very haunting,” says Manninen, “with beautiful backdrops and the wonderful corps de ballet.” The members of the corps portray the iconic Wilis, the mystical spirits of the forest who dance young men to their doom.

“It’s a unique experience to be working on three drastically different ballets,” says dancer Emily van Deinse. “Out of the three, my favorite role would be a [Wili]. It is such an iconic role. The entire second act [of Giselle] has an intense emotional gravity that isn’t always

seen in ballet.”

“Performing the role of Giselle has most definitely been a highlight for me,” says ballerina Grace Story. “It’s challenging in a way I have never experienced. . . . [The ballet] is also a favorite of mine, so to get to perform the principal role is a dream come true.”

Then there is Peter and the Wolf, the classic childhood tale about a mischievous boy and a hungry wolf who both learn an important lesson. As with most Footworks Youth Ballet productions, Artistic Director Kirsten Oakley, a Ventura native, added her own special touch to the story. A dream sequence featuring an opera soloist, as well as a happier ending, set the production apart from the rest. “In his dream, the wolf wrestles with what he’s done,” says Manninen, “The kids are totally into it,” she adds with a smile.

Another mainstay of a Footworks production is that every role is important — from Peter and the wolf to the ducklings, played by the “littles,” the youngest members of the company. “Youngsters add a lot,” Manninen explains. “They’re not just paying ‘lip service’ to the production. The get into the story and the acting. They know their steps.”

The involvement of the whole company is central to Footworks Youth Ballet. “You see the ‘littles’ being taken under the wing of the older girls, especially during performances and rehearsals,” says Manninen. “It’s like a family. Between all the time spent in the studio and in rehearsals and performing, it’s like a second home. Everyone feels supported.”

“My experiences at Oakley and Footworks have always been wonderful,” adds dancer Alicia Panzer. “From the training I received to the friends I’ve made . . . and the camaraderie formed between people with a common goal . . . to the roles I’ve gotten to dance.”

The third piece in the series, Classical Symphony, is a quintessential example of a neoclassical ballet. With its sleek, modern style, it emphasizes towering technique over story-

Grace Story (wolf) and ducklings Ava Barnum, Ava Gallo and Emily van Deinse from Peter and the Wolf. telling. High energy is mixed with minimal sets and subtle costumes. “Classical Symphony focuses on athletic ability and technique,” explains Manninen. “It’s fun and dynamic.”

The choreography by the late Yvonne Mounsey echoes the original by the legendary George Balanchine. Mounsey, who was Oakley’s friend and mentor, was a principal dancer with Balanchine at the New York City Ballet and later founded the Westside School of Ballet in Santa Monica.

Together, the three ballets represent a wide array of styles and strengths and feature some of the best young dancers in the area. Starting in the fall, some, like Story and Panzer, will follow their passion for dance all the way to college. Story will be pursuing a bachelor’s degree in dance at the University of Utah, and Panzer will be dancing at Friends University in Kansas. Another dancer, Jessica White, has

been accepted to Boston School of Ballet for the summer and hopes to pursue dance and business degrees. “I would love to pass on my passion for dance and Pilates to the next generation of dancers.”

Fostering careers in dance isn’t the only goal of Oakley Ballet Center or Footworks Youth Ballet. For both organizations, the mission is “to develop and enhance every student’s love and appreciation for the art of ballet.”

Through hard work and passion, they’re helping the rest of us love it, too.

F Giselle on Saturday, June 2, at 2 and 7 p.m.; Peter and the Wolf/Classical Symphony on Sunday, June 3, at 2 p.m.; and outreach performances on Friday, June 1, at Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard.

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra performs at the Ojai Music Festival, which will take place June 7-10.

Radical revelry New music director Patricia Kopatchinskaja leads the 2018 Ojai Music Festival

I

t’s time again for the illustrious, adventurous, surprising and always engaging Ojai Music Festival (OMF). This year’s fest, in its 72nd year and taking place June 7-10, is being led by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja. The Moldavian-Austrian violinist is known to speak her mind, and listeners will get a glimpse into the OMF music director’s imagination soon enough. Reviews of Kopatchinskaja’s violin performances include the following descriptions: wolf, gypsy princess, dancing tigress, magnificent violin witch.

Longtime OMF Artistic Director Thomas W. Morris simply calls her “a force of nature.”

Morris (who will be taking his final bow in 2019) is always on the lookout for new and challenging music. He discovered Kopatchinskaja through a mutual musical friend four years ago. He did some research, checked out her recordings and said, “Everything I heard was incredible.” Then he went to hear her play live in St. Paul, Minnesota.

“I was completely blown away — everything I had read and heard was exceeded. She’s incredible. We had lunch the next day and I found her even more compelling. I invited her and bang!”

Kopatchinskaja follows on the heels of recent well-known music directors Peter Sellars, jazz pianist Vijay Iyer and choreographer Mark Morris. She’s also one of only a handful of women who have led the OMF. These include Dawn Upshaw (2011), Mitsuko Uchida (1998, returning in 2021) and singer/ conductor Barbara Hannigan (taking the helm in 2019).

The OMF is not for the faint of heart. Every year, it takes attendees on a musical expedition. You never know what’s lurk12 — — May 31, 2018

ing around the next curve in the road — a ravishing landscape or a harrowing experience of survival!

“What we try and do each year is build a festival that is consistent with what the festival stands for musically, one that reflects the personality of the music director, which assures each year is completely different,” notes Morris. “Patricia is such a creative force. She often says that she is an accidental violinist. She sees herself as a creator. One of the things that struck me about her is her incredibly broad range of musical passions. She’s not a traditional violinist; she’s almost a musical omnivore.”

The violinist says she first discovered contemporary music when she emigrated from the Soviet Union to Europe at the age of 14.

“For me then — and now — [contemporary music] literally means freedom,” she states.

She has been on a mission to present contemporary music to audiences, that, she says, is often met with “a lot of resistance.”

“The privilege in Ojai is that there is no resistance,” she admits, “only interest and support.” So she has created a program to her liking, one that should be full of surprises.

The festival officially kicks off next Thursday with a free community event. “Sonic Embrace” — Kopatchinskaja on violin and Jorge Sanchez-Chiong on electronics — is described as a “dynamic duet between solo violin and spatial amplified sound” that will transform Libbey Park into an “all-encompassing and immersive aural environment.”

The evening also includes a piece by Italian avant-garde composer Luigi Nono, “La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura” (more or less, “The Nostalgic Utopian Future Distance”).

This will be followed by the American premiere of Bye Bye Beethoven, a staged concert conceptualized by Kopatchinskaja and performed with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra at Libbey Bowl. The orchestra, in its first U.S. performance at the OMF, is an international touring group made up of dozens of individuals from 20 different countries. The concert will be a musical mash-up, with music by Charles Ives, Joseph Haydn, John Cage, Johann Sebastian Bach, György Kurtág and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D. “If you are on a mission to present contemporary music, you get a choked feeling if conductors and presenters demand that you always play the same old pieces always in the same way as recorded by the greats of the past on discs,” says Kopatchinskaja.

Bye Bye Beethoven takes this “oppressed feeling” onstage and “turns it on its head,” the musical director promises.

Friday night’s musical smorgasbord includes the world premiere of Michael Hersch’s “I hope we get a chance to visit soon.”

“The first hour brings classics from William Byrd, Bartok, Shostakovich, Crumb, Ligeti . . . all entertaining and fun. The second hour will be challenging,” warns Kopatchinskaja. A free late-night concert features “Everything That Rises,” a onemovement piece that John Luther Adams recently wrote for JACK Quartet.

There’s much, much more to explore over the long weekend.

Saturday afternoon’s two-part program offers “whimsical and exhilarating” works by Ligeti and Berio and a soaring sonata by Ravel. Throughout the festival, music lovers may enjoy pop-up concerts, an early-morning presentation to be performed in darkness, a children’s concert, folk music, sonatas, duets and more, offered by some of the finest musicians, composers and groups in contemporary music. Not to be missed is Dies Irae, a haunting and unsettling piece by Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya inspired by a world out of balance, making its West Coast premiere on Saturday night. Sunday concludes with a finale featuring works by Bartok, Stravinsky, Machaut and Ligeti.

The music director gleefully anticipates her time here.

“I am conscious that California is one of the most spiritually and intellectually sparkling regions in the world. I look forward to meeting a challenging audience,” she concludes.

The Ojai Music Festival is always a musical adventure that promises to stretch listeners’ imaginations and minds — and sometimes even blow them! ✦ The Ojai Music Festival takes place June 7-10 at several venues throughout Ojai. For tickets, a full schedule and more information, call 646-2053 or visit www.ojaifestival.org.

Continued from Page 6

nedy’s younger brother.

In the presidential campaign of June 1968 there was no law that mandated providing Secret Service protection to presidential candidates. Alas, that new law was enacted just a few months later. Bobby did, however, have personal bodyguards: Olympic decathlon gold medalist Rafer Johnson and L.A. Rams football star Roosevelt Grier.

We chugged our way through California’s agricultural heartland on a whistle-stop train.

In big cities Bobby sat in the back of an open car, or perched precariously in a pickup truck as his motorcade moved slowly while thousands screamed his name. In the streets of San Francisco nervous campaign workers heard explosions while we wended our way through Chinatown. It was merely celebratory firecrackers. Then to San Diego, Ventura, a breather on the beach in Malibu — at the home of Bobby’ s pal, Manchurian Candidate director John Frankenheimer. And then on election night: to the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard.

Bobby’s speech was the same whether he was talking to voters in California’s lettuce

fields or addressing fervent supporters in Ventura County.

He finished every speech with the same George Bernard Shaw line. “Some men see things as they are and say, ‘Why?’ I dream things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’ ” Shortly before midnight on June 4, Kennedy was jubilant. Victory over his rival Sen. Eugene McCarthy seemed inevitable.

“Now on to the Chicago convention,” Kennedy told his ecstatic supporters in the hotel ballroom. And then he headed for a press conference — via the kitchen.

Suddenly, I heard balloons popping. One, two ,three, four, five and six.

Then screams. I stepped into the pantry — and there on the concrete pantry floor lay the candidate: blood gushing from a head wound.

The scene was sheer bedlam.

“Get the gun,” yelled a radio newsman.

“Give him air,” screamed Ethel, cushioning her husband’s head on a straw hat on the floor “Not again,” shrieked a Bobby supporter.

It was a scene that is forever etched in my mind.

Twenty four hours later Bobby became the second member of the tragedy-prone Kennedy family in five years to die from an assassin’s bullet.

A truly annus horribilis. ✦

The Cosmic Meal of the day involved farro wheat and a wonderfully fresh fennel and orange salad, with added BAKon.

Sampling the universe at Ambrosia

by Chris O’Neal

chris@vcreporter.com Ambrosia by Caffrodite 1987 E Main Street, suite B, Ventura $4-15 628-9289 • www.caffrodite.com

I

had only recently recovered from my second-ever yoga session when my wife said, “Hey, let’s check out Ambrosia.”

“The food of the gods? And risk a smiting?” I replied. Her blank stare was followed by directions pointing me toward midtown Ventura, where I learned that Ambrosia is actually a restaurant run by the former owners of Caffrodite. Caffrodite, if you recall, was a coffee spot on Main Street, an institution that has been missed since its closure last year.

Now, Ambrosia by Caffrodite has emerged, replete with full coffee bar to serve up all of your original coffee favorites, plus a full kitchen. Ambrosia as defined by Caffrodite means healthy, soul-cleansing vegetarian and vegan food.

The shop, tucked between longtime residents Pete’s Breakfast House and Mai’s Café, has a bright, open dining room with very small tables up front and several more spacious tables in the back. The first thing you may notice upon entry is a sign that reads “Cosmic Meals served daily,” which denotes what grains will be served on which day aligning with what celestial body.

We arrived on a Sunday just before 11 a.m. The chosen Cosmic Meal ingredient was wheat. I needed caffeine immediately. The first indication that I was in for a treat came by way of a classic: the Pirate’s Chai Latte ($5.25).

A matcha-tea chai infused with several spices was one of the first beverages I ever purchased in the city of Ventura, and 15 years later, the warm spiced latte hadn’t changed much, with the one exception being replacement of cow’s milk with oat milk. I challenge you to taste the difference. (You won’t.)

Ambrosia sticks with the heavenly theme in such dishes as the Shooting Star Parsley Mint Salad ($8.25) and the Supernova Sunflower Seed Ship ($10.25/14.75). This was the closest I had come (as yet) to ordering off the menu at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

I composed myself and decided on the Saturn BLT+C ($10.25/14.75), the most familiarsounding item on the menu. The sandwich would come with vegan BAKon, seasonal lettuce, tomato and house-made almond cheese.

My partner chose the COSMIC Midday Meal

($12.25). This special features the cosmic grain of the day paired with the chef’s special of the day. It was a Sunday, need I remind you, so the grain of the day was farro, a type of wheat, and it would be paired with a roasted fennel and cranberry salad. The universe is a chaotic place.

Along with our entrees we ordered the Eclipse Plate ($12.75), a selection of three of Ambrosia’s house-made dips: the Comet Carrot Paté, Sunshine Hummus and Supernova Sunflower Seed paté.

First, throw out your notion of a BLT when ordering Ambrosia’s. The sandwich arrived on a carefully curated leaf of romaine with two slices of tomato topped with house-made almond cheese atop them. Rest neatly atop of that were two slices of BAKon. That is, rice paper made to look like the real deal. It was glossy and slightly transparent. There were two of these boat-like creations on the plate. The farro dish arrived next, and it too was topped with the BAKon (by request, $3) and sat alongside a generously portioned salad ripe with roasted fennel, orange slices and cranberries.

The lettuce and tomato were exceedingly fresh and the almond cheese, soft and creamy, a wonderful combination. The BAKon was a hit, as crisp as it appeared and smoky. The meal proved enticingly light, and this was the full order, which came with two BLTs. The farro had been cooked to perfection, savory and al dente, with the added inclusion of the BAKon a good choice. The salad was outof-this-world fresh. I wouldn’t have been surprised to have found a garden in the backyard, but via the menu, we were told that all ingredients are sourced as locally as possible.

The hit of the meal came via the Eclipse Plate. Whoever is making these patés needs a Michelin star for the simple fact that I forgot we were eating carrots at one point. The three dips were served with gluten-free crackers. I’m a big fan of gluten, but it didn’t distract from the superb trio. The carrot paté, a Moroccaninspired version with basil pesto, was the favorite, but all three were fantastic. The hummus, infused with parsley and mint, went first, and we were surprised to find that we were not eating the sunflower seed dip but rather a chipotle-infused nut paté the name of which escapes me, lost somewhere in the void of deep space.

Consider my mind and soul cleansed.

Ambrosia redefines the meaning of “food of the gods” in a universal language.

When dining in, keep an open mind and just go for whatever speaks to you on a cosmic level. ♦

Solo: A Star Wars Story A Solo flight that soars

by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Solo: A Star Wars Story Directed by Ron Howard Starring: Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Joonas Suotamo Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence 2 hr. 15 min.

Full disclosure here: I don’t go into these reviews cold. I do my homework, seek word of mouth, sift through opinions, get a read on the story synopsis and then see a film for myself. Taking on an examination of Solo: A Star Wars Story was no different. I came away asking myself, did some of these people see the same film I did?

I’d imagine that those who steep themselves deeply in the Star Wars franchise become jaded. Only the spectacular and astonishing would rouse them from their torpor, regarding what is fitting for anything Star Wars-related and what

is not.

After 41 years, it’s about time we got more than ruminations about what made Han Solo a grizzled, sardonic rogue turned hero. At the outset, controversy dogged this project.

Renowned director Ron Howard took over the reins from Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (The Lego Movie). Howard interpreted the script by father-and-son team Lawrence and Jonathon Kasdan differently than Miller and Lord might have. This may have been key for those who thought the film could have gone farther than it does.

Han’s story breaks out on Corellia, a shipbuilding planet that’s a scene of poverty and decay that almost defies description. Freaky beings and criminals abound, space vehicles rev and spin out of control — kind of a Fast and Furious in space.

Lovers Han (a game Alden Ehrenreich) and Qi’ra (Game of Thrones’ Dragon Queen, Emilia

‘‘

Clarke) try to escape the planet with a stash of hyper-fuel. Only Han gets out, but he vows to return to the fetid Corellia and free Qi’ra. He joins the Empire to become a flier, but winds up grinding out interstellar war on the ground. There, Han meets dodgy characters Beckett (Woody Harrelson) and Val (Thandie Newton). When he’s outed as a deserter and tossed into a mudhole, Han comes upon the giant Wookiee, Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo).

Ah, the matted fur of Chewie, desperately in need of shampoo and

hyper-fuel, coaxium, for a crime overlord, Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany). When things go awry, they talk the evil Vos into giving them another chance. That leads them to Capt. Lando Calrissian, Atlanta’s Donald Glover. His young Lando is crafty and suave.

Billy Dee Williams should be proud.

The tricky part of any prequel or sequel, especially those that come decades after the original, is to keep the energy, the groove and the tone of what made the film and its characters special in the first place. We learned with Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace that the hordes of devotees to this 41-year phenomenon will

Solo has humor, surprises and sensational computer-generated effects. conditioner. (Does his planet have flea infestations?) Ehrenreich is not Harrison Ford, but when you see Chewie, you know you’re at a Star Wars movie as surely as when you hear John Williams’ theme music.

Beckett and Val are out to steal a motherlode of the aforementioned

turn out in droves but complain about those responsible if the film doesn’t hit all the marks. They need not worry. Solo has humor, surprises and sensational computer-generated effects. Please see it in fleshgrazing 3-D! Some of the new characters, like Lando’s droid L3-37, voiced by a brilliant Phoebe Waller-Bridge, bring even more life and wit to an exhilarating story. No, we’ll never find out if it takes a 10-pound bag of Purina to feed a hungry Wookiee, or other questions that may plague the hardcore aficionado. Just open your eyes, pretend you’re seeing Star Wars for the first time, and enjoy this Wild West ride through a galaxy far, far away. ♦

People will swear that their dog is a great judge of character — focusing on the, oh, two times he growled at someone they despise but conveniently forgetting all the times he snuggled up to their sociopathic ex.

The reality is, research does not support dogs (or even chimps) having what they’d need to assess a person’s character — a sophisticated cognitive ability humans have called “theory of mind.”

Theory of mind describes being able to guess the mental states of others — to infer what they’re thinking or intending. For example, when you see a man across the street get down on one knee in front of a woman, theory of mind leads you to figure he’s about to ask her something — and it probably isn’t, “Could I borrow a pen?”

That said, the ballsy little purse Cujo that growls at some Mr. Skeevy probably isn’t doing it out of the blue. Dogs do seem able to read even subtle aspects of human body language — like our tensing up upon approaching somebody we dread talking to — and they may respond in kind.

However, dogs’ perception of people and the world is dominated by their exceptionally powerful sense of smell — estimated to be between 10,000 and 100,000 times

‘‘

more powerful than ours, according to anthrozoologist and Dog Sense author John W.S. Bradshaw.

In other words, though dogs can’t read a person’s mind, they may be able to smell what’s on it — or rather, the chemical messengers released by what’s on it. For example, doggy cognition researcher Alexandra Horowitz explains in Inside of a Dog that adrenaline (triggered when a person’s afraid or angry) “is unscented to us, but not to the sensitive sniffer of the dog.”

Additionally, Bradshaw points out that the types of people dogs

love, just as it’s tempting to believe that your dog is some sort of crystal ball for reading character — and not responding to how some guy just kneaded all the stuff together for homemade liverwurst and then wiped his hands on his pants.

Nightlight at the end of the tunnel My boyfriend thinks there’s something wrong with me because of how much I sleep. I’ve always needed to sleep a lot (like, nine hours). I’ve been tested for everything, and I’m fine. Do some people just need more sleep? How do I get him off my back?

So, no, your dog is not a leg-humping background-checker. are socialized with — women, men, men with beards, people wearing different kinds of clothes — make a difference in whom dogs snuggle up to and whom they snarl at.

So, no, your dog is not a leghumping background-checker. But she can help you see something important about men — if you look at how a potential boyfriend treats her: with patience or annoyance.

And as I often advise, it’s also important to put some time (and a lot of observation) between thinking a guy is really awesome and seeing whether he actually is. It’s tempting to believe you’ve found everlasting

logical version of that plexiglass partition in liquor stores in bad neighborhoods — that may be causing him to worry about your sleepathons. In addition to warrior cells being sent out by our immune system to attack bodily invaders, such as viruses, psychologist Mark Schaller’s research suggests we have a psychological warning system — the “behavioral immune system” — to help us avoid being exposed to disease in the first place.

This warning system gets triggered by, among other things, atypical behavior — for example, sleeping far more than most people. To get your boyfriend off your case, you might tell him that being adequately rested is actually associated with lower risk of heart disease, obesity and psychiatric problems. In fact, it’s even associated with less risk of early mortality — despite the things your boyfriend probably yells in bed: “Hey! Hey! You still alive? Should I call 911?” ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

A critic described Leonardo da Vinci’s painting the Mona Lisa as “the most visited, most written about, most sung about, most parodied work of art in the world.” It hasn’t been sold recently, but is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Today it’s kept in the world-renowned Louvre museum in Paris, where it’s viewed by millions of art-lovers.

But for years after its creator’s death, it enjoyed little fanfare while hanging in the bathroom of the French King Francois. I’d love to see a similar evolution in your own efforts, Aries: a rise from humble placement and modest appreciation to a more interesting fate and greater approval. The astrological omens suggest that you have more power than usual to make this happen in the coming weeks and months.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

These days, many films use CGI, computer generated imagery. The technology is sophisticated and efficient. But in the early days of its use, producing such realistic fantasies was painstaking and timeintensive. For example, Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park featured four minutes of CGI that required a year to create. I hope that in the coming weeks, you will summon equivalent levels of old-school tenacity and persistence and attention to detail as you devote yourself to a valuable task that you love. Your passion needs an infusion of discipline. Don’t be shy about grunting.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

On February 17, 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev had an appointment with a local cheesemaking company to provide his expert consultation.

But he never made it. A blast of inspiration overtook him soon after he awoke, and he stayed home to tend to the blessed intrusion. He spent that day as

by rob brezsny

well as the next two perfecting his vision of the periodic table of the elements, which he had researched and thought about for a long time. Science was forever transformed by Mendeleyev’s breakthrough.

I doubt your epiphanies in the coming weeks will have a similar power to remake the whole world, Gemini. But they could very well remake your world.

When they arrive, honor them. Feed them. Give them enough room to show you everything they’ve got.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Ninety-five percent of your fears have little or no objective validity. Some are delusions generated by the neurotic parts of your imagination. Others are delusions you’ve absorbed from the neurotic spew of other people’s imaginations. What I’ve just told you is both bad news and good news. On the one hand, it’s a damn shame you feel so much irrational and unfounded anxiety. On the other hand, hearing my assertion that so much of it is irrational and unfounded might mobilize you to free yourself from its grip. I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to wage a campaign to do just that. June can and should be Fighting for Your Freedom from Fear Month.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

During the next four weeks, I’ll celebrate if you search for and locate experiences that will heal the part of your heart that’s still a bit broken. My sleep at night will be extra deep and my dreams extra sweet if I know you’re drumming up practical support for your feisty ideals. I’ll literally jump for joy if you hunt down new teachings that will ultimately ensure you start making a daring dream come true in 2019. And my soul will soar if you gravitate toward the mindexpanding kind of hedonism rather than the mindshrinking variety.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Everyone has a unique fate that’s interesting enough to write a book about. Each of us has at least one epic story to tell that would make people cry and laugh and adjust their thoughts about the meaning of life. What would your saga be like? Think about what’s unfolding right now, because I bet that would be a ripe place to start your meditations. The core themes of your destiny are currently on vivid display, with new plot twists taking your drama in novel directions. Want to get started? Compose the first two sentences of your memoir.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“Dear Oracle: I find myself in the weird position of trying to decide between doing the good thing and doing the right thing. If I opt to emphasize sympathy and kindness, I may look like an eager-to-please wimp with shaky principles. But if I push hard for justice and truth, I may seem rude and insensitive. Why is it so challenging to have integrity? - Vexed Libra.”

Dear Libra: My advice is to avoid the all-or-nothing approach. Be willing to be half-good and half-right.

Sometimes the highest forms of integrity require you to accept imperfect solutions.

ing them wrong, surpassing their accomplishments, and totally forgiving them.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Marketing experts say that motivating a person to say yes to a big question is more likely if you first build momentum by asking them smaller questions to which it’s easy to say yes. I encourage you to adopt this slant for your own purposes in the coming weeks. It’s prime time to extend invitations and make requests that you’ve been waiting for the right moment to risk. People whom you need on your side will, I suspect, be more receptive than usual — and with good reasons — but you may still have to be smoothly strategic in your approach.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

I bet you’ll be offered at least one valuable gift, and possibly more. But I’m concerned that you may not recognize them for their true nature. So I’ve created an exercise to enhance your ability to identify and claim these gifts-in-disguise. Please ruminate on the following concepts: 1. a pain that can heal; 2. a shadow that illuminates; 3. an unknown or anonymous ally; 4. a secret that nurtures intimacy; 5. a power akin to underground lightning; 6. an invigorating boost disguised as tough love.

You have waited long enough to retaliate against your adversaries. It’s high time to stop simmering with frustration and resentment. Take direct action!

I suggest you arrange to have a box of elephant poop shipped to their addresses. You can order it here: tinyurl.com/ElephantManure. JUST KIDDING! I misled you with the preceding statements. It would in fact be a mistake for you to express such vulgar revenge. Here’s the truth: Now is an excellent time to seek retribution against those who have opposed you, but the best ways to do that would be by prov-

When I was a kid attending elementary schools in the American Midwest, recess was a core part of my educational experience. For 45 minutes each day, we were excused from our studies so we could indulge in free-form play — outdoors, if the weather was nice, or else in the gymnasium. But in recent years, schools in the U.S. have shrunk the time allotted for recess. Many schools have eliminated it altogether. Don’t they understand this is harmful

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

to the social, emotional, and physical health of their students? In any case, Aquarius, I hope you move in the opposite direction during the coming weeks. You need more than your usual quota of time away from the grind. More fun and games, please! More messing around and merriment! More recess!

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

For many years, actor Mel Blanc provided the voice for Bugs Bunny, a cartoon character who regularly chowed down on raw carrots. But Blanc himself did not like raw carrots. In a related matter, actor John Wayne, who pretended to be a cowboy and horseman in many movies, did not like horses. And according to his leading ladies, charismatic macho film hunk Harrison Ford is not even close to being an expert kisser. What about you, Pisces? Is your public image in alignment with your true self? If there are discrepancies, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make corrections.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $221,262.33 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale.

Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

LEGAL In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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.

NOTICE TO CONSUMER: The law gives you the thirty (30) days after you receive this Notice to dispute the validity of the debt or any part of it. If you do not dispute it within that period, I will assume the debt is valid. If you do dispute it - by notifying me in writ-

ing to that effect - I will, as required by law, obtain and mail to you proof of the debt.

MORRIS; WILLIAM AJ MORRIS. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: STEVEN MORRIS in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that: STEVEN MORRIS 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 20, 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 es-

tate, 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.
