OPINION Editorial

Futile efforts to reverse climate change

ith Ventura County and its sister city Santa Barbara being in the crosshairs for devastating natural disasters in the last couple of years, one would think environmental advocacy would hit maximum effort locally, with many concerned citizens actively trying to reverse the trend of indifference to eco-protections. According to a new United Nations report out Jan. 24, “despite a 38-fold increase in environmental laws put in place since 1972, failure to fully implement and enforce these laws is one of the greatest challenges to mitigating climate change, reducing pollution and preventing widespread species and habitat loss.” Regarding the findings of the report, David Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment stated, “This compelling new report solves the mystery of why problems such as pollution, declining biodiversity and climate change persist despite the proliferation of environmental laws in recent decades. Unless the environmental rule of law is strengthened, even seemingly rigorous rules are destined to fail and the fundamental human right to a healthy environment will go unfulfilled.” In the 306-page report, it’s clear that for the last nearly 40 years, there has been a concerted effort to bring global environmental advocacy and laws to the forefront to try and change the snowball effect of mass consumption and a rapidly growing human population. The lack of accountability and enforcement of laws designed to preserve and protect, however, is the true quagmire. Well-intentioned efforts to force consequences upon those who do not comply with environmental laws are not stopping global climate change. The root issue of this is the need and desire to capitalize on consump-

Letters

A Letter from a Grateful Catholic

could not let the “notorious” letter in the VCReporter of Dec. 13, 2018, go unanswered. I am a product of the Catholic “propaganda system,” and unlike Miguel Espinosa, Jr. of Oxnard, I am grateful for an open mind that my education in a Catholic school gave me, along with the ability to read and write, which the “abused Sisters” taught me. (Miguel, who taught you to read and write?) They also taught me a moral code that may seem out of date by today’s standards, but gave me much peace of mind, and sense of self and direction. What institutions can you name, which have lasted 2000-plus years and whose story is dotted with saints and sinners in every age through the history of the Church through the

tion habits and the demand is not abating. While surely the quality of the environment is a top priority for millions of people, when it’s simply not that bad or life is fairly comfortable, apathy sets in and we all rely on someone else to do the work — “not my problem” is a contagious stance. That perspective also seems fitting given the realization of our codependency on the federal government, as shown by the impacts of the recent shutdown, which were felt by federal employees as well as those dependent on the government in other ways. The report offers some solutions, mainly in legitimizing the rule of law while bringing awareness to the need for enforcement and allocating more resources for that purpose. But how pragmatic is that when 10 percent of the global population exists in extreme poverty (living on less than $2 a day)? In the U.S., 12.7 percent of the national population subsists at $24,000 or less for a family of four, according to U.S. Census data. Further, how many people above that threshold are struggling to get bills paid and maintain their housing? Is it practical to think an impoverished and struggling populace is willing to change their basic habits of survival to address global warming? Will addressing the poverty question also affect our ability to address environmental issues? Nothing will change if we choose the environment over humanity. The two must coexist and are completely interdependent. So what will it take to get the global population environmentally friendly together? Maybe a truly great leader will rise up to bring us together. But until that time, it seems only more devastation is on the horizon. Find the UN report at: https://tinyurl.com/ yd2q3rvr

millennia? We cannot even begin to talk about the 200-plus year history of the contributions made by the Church in this country. (According to Espinosa’s Dec. 13 letter, nothing good ever came from the Catholic Church.) As I grow older I have nothing but gratitude for my education and for being “indoctrinated” in our Christian, Catholic way of life, spiritually and morally. I have been a member of the Sisters of the Holy Cross for 60-plus years, and have taught in three of the 50 States, plus two years in Ghana, and have never had a priest come to our convent bedrooms in his spare time. The Church is going through trying times in our generation, as it has in the past. Always, after crises and tragedy, growth and transformation have followed. The Church is suffering now because of some of its members, and it is a tragedy of the first order. Jesus says it best — better a millstone tied around a neck than. Lawsuits will bring bankruptcy for some dioceses but “the Mafia” will not bail them out. The Church does best when not depending on

material gains, but on the spiritual growth of its people. I am grateful for the years of community, service and love I have experienced in the Faith of our ancestors. I hope I have made a contribution to continuing the Catholic legacy of the Apostles, who were entrusted by Christ/ God to the Church. Amen.

The other Dumpty

Dolores Bray, CSC Ventura

Commander Dumpty sat on his wall. Certain his will would prevail over all. He dug in his bone spurs. Sat up proud and tall. He had no idea he would have such a fall. Or that none of his minions or salaried men would even want to put him together again. He wasn’t together in the first place. Just a bully with a pulpit, and a fake tan face. Donald McBain Ventura

Four Borders, Not Two

Ladies and gentlemen, it is amazing how media pundits and millions of ordinary folks out there believe we have only TWO BORDERS! Anyone who believes we have only two borders (Canada and Mexico) is either not using their brains to think with or they are lacking a proper education. We have 4 BORDERS folks, and NOT 2!!! There is the Pacific Ocean border and the Atlantic Ocean border. For what purpose do I make this point, you might ask? The purpose is this: President TRUMPET wants to build ONE wall (actually a FENCE and NOT, repeat NOT a wall). Protecting one border is truly STUPID folks, to the Nth degree!! How are you going to protect the Atlantic Ocean border and the Pacific Ocean border??? Is our “ENTERTAINER-IN-CHIEF” going to build a FENCE in either of the two oceans, along our enormous coast lines??? I think not!! Not now, not ever!!! SO, how are these two gigantic ocean borders going to be protected, to keep illegals out???? Your guess, ladies and gentlemen, is better than mine.

Taxing taxes

In Brief AARP, VENTURA COUNTY OFFER FREE TAX PREPARATION TO RESIDENTS

Breaking down the new tax bill requirements by Kateri Wozny

s Ventura resident Jocelyn Smith prepares to file for the 2018 tax season, she is concerned that she will have to owe more than in past years under the new tax bill. “It’s just so confusing,” Smith said. “I keep hearing about all of the changes and I really don’t want to have to owe. I am trying to save for my first home.” Smith is not the only one who has expressed concern over the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Passed by Congress in December 2017, the U.S. Congress’s Committee on Ways and Means said the new act serves many purposes, including simplifying the tax process, preserving the mortgage interest deduction, eliminating Obamacare’s individual mandate penalty tax, increasing the standard deduction, providing more support to American families, providing relief for Americans with expensive medical bills and improving savings vehicles for education. Danielle Brinkman, certified public accountant with Farber Hass Hurley LLP in Oxnard, believes that the new tax bill will benefit more residents than hurt them. “I think for most people it will be helpful,” Brinkman said. “The tax brackets are lower and my average client will pay less tax overall.” Most Americans saw an increase in their paychecks earlier last year because of the new brackets. Brinkman said it’s normal when a new administration takes over that misunderstandings can happen with filers. “People are losing certain deductions and I think people are focused on what they could be losing,” Brinkman said. “The changes in the tax brackets and the items you are gaining in the new tax law are offset by what you are losing. However, it is different for every situation.” A Tax Policy Center report said that 62 percent of Californians will see their taxes go down in 2018 with an average tax cut at $2,170, which is below the national average of $2,200. The report said 8.6 percent of Californians will see an increase in their taxes with an average of $2,510, below the national average of $2,760. Brinkman identified the main tax areas residents should understand and prepare for:

STATE AND LOCAL TAX (SALT)

SALT allows filers to deduct up to $10,000 in state, real estate and personal property taxes, such as car registration fees. “It’s a big misconception that all itemized deductions are maxed out at a $10,000 cap and it’s really only for the SALT,” Brinkman said.

MORTGAGES

Brinkman said the new tax bill lowered the cap for mortgage interest paid from $1 million to $750,000 of mortgage indebtedness and eliminated the deductibility of home equity debt. However, the interest on home equity debt is not deductible through Dec. 31, 2025. “If you had a mortgage loan prior to Dec. 15, 2017 and you are under the $1 million of acquisition indebtedness, you can deduct 100 percent of your mortgage interest,” Brinkman said. “You are grandfathered in.”

6—

— January 31, 2019

MEDICAL EXPENSES

Brinkman said the good news is medical expenses hasn’t changed. Currently, there’s a 7.5 percent threshold remaining for 2018 and anything above 7.5 percent of a person’s adjusted gross income (AGI) will be deductible. In 2019, however, anything above a 10 percent AGI will be deductible. “If you have medical expenses, it’s a good idea to go ahead and take care of them this year,” Brinkman said.

CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

For 2018, filers can deduct up to 60 percent of a person’s AGI for contributions made to nonprofits and certain foundations. The increase in AGI runs through Dec. 31, 2025. “The good news is that the maximum increased,” Brinkman said.

HOME OFFICE

“It’s a gray area,” Brinkman said. “It’s one of those things IRS tends to look at. Some people tend to get aggressive with it. It’s more acceptable now than in the past if you do it correctly.” Brinkman said using the home office as a miscellaneous itemized deduction for employees is no longer available. The deduction is still available for those who are selfemployed.

SMALL BUSINESSES

For the first time ever, most small businesses are allowed to take a 20 percent tax deduction. “Businesses in general have favorable changes regarding their 199A deduction,” Brinkman said.

STANDARD DEDUCTION

Includes $12,000 for singles (up from $6,350 in 2017), $24,000 for married couples (up from $12,700 in 2017) and $18,000 for heads of households (up from $9,350 in 2017). “If you don’t itemize, you use the standard deduction, whichever is higher,” Brinkman said. ”The higher standard deduction is going to help a lot of people.”

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS

Includes tax preparation fees, investment advisor fees and non-reimbursable employee business expenses. “It used to be subject to a 2 percent limitation, now it’s completely gone,” Brinkman said. “I am encouraging clients who do have significant expenses to talk with their employer to see how they can set-up an accountable plan to get reimbursed.”

PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS

Personal exemptions are not just suspended for the 2018 tax season, but through Dec. 31, 2025. “In exchange for the higher standard deduction, the personal exemptions were suspended,” Brinkman said. If there’s one piece of advice Brinkman can offer filers, it’s to always begin the tax planning process as soon as possible. “It’s important more now than ever,” Brinkman said. “Get your taxes done early so that you don’t have any last minute surprises. I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised once they have everything complete.” ✦ Residents have until Monday, April 15, 2019 to file their 2018 taxes with the IRS. To view the latest IRS Tax and Earned Income Credit Tables for 2018, visit www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/ i1040tt--dft.pdf.

With the federal government reopening as of Friday, Jan. 25, it’s time to start filing your taxes, and the AARP Foundation, along with the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging are here to help. Beginning on Monday, Feb. 4, anyone of low to moderate income will be able to take advantage of a free tax preparation service. To receive assistance, individuals must bring all necessary documentation, including applicable Social Security cards, a photo ID, a copy of 2017 tax returns and 2018 documents showing income from all sources including wages, Social Security, interest, dividends, investments, self-employment and pensions. The service, particularly suited to those over 50 years of age, will be held Mondays through Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m. through April 15 at the VCAAA offices, 646 County Square Drive in Ventura. No appointment required. For more information, call 805477-7306.

MOORPARK COLLEGE TO HOST CYBERSECURITY CONTEST

Moorpark College has been named one of 12 sites to host the 2019 California Mayors Cyber Cup, a contest pitting middle and high school students against each other in various cybersecuritythemed challenges. The event, taking place on Saturday, Feb. 23, will feature 200 teams with over 1,200 students in an effort to encourage students entering the cybersecurity workforce. “We are proud to host this year’s CMCC regional competition,” said Moorpark College President Luis Sanchez. “This is a great opportunity for local high school students to learn about the outstanding cybersecurity and technology programs Moorpark College offers as well as the promising careers available in this growing field.” Teams have until Saturday, Feb. 2, to register, which will give them and their coaches access to tools and practice sessions. Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, chair of the Select Committee on Cybersecurity, will deliver a briefing and welcome students. For more information, visit ca-cyberhub.org.

TIPPER GORE FOUNDING DONOR OF SCHOLARSHIP AT CSUCI

The former U.S Second Lady Tipper Gore has become the founding donor for California State University Channel Island’s latest scholarship award focused on supporting ambassadors of the peer mentor program. CSUCI’s Peer Education and Equity Program provides peer mentors and ambassadors who assist students who need help, whether academically or mentally. “It’s another person in a closer age bracket so they can identify more,” said Gore. “A teacher or older person might be able to dispense advice and guidance, but when that guidance comes from someone close to their age with some experience under their belts, it’s more meaningful.” The award will provide $3,500 a semester to selected peers who will mentor as well as take on responsibilities such as advocating for the program. For more information and to support the program, visit www. csuci.edu/giving.

VENTURA FAMILY YMCA KICKS OFF FUNDRAISER

The Ventura Family YMCA has launched its annual campaign, an effort to raise funds for programs that monthly subscription fees do not cover. Programs such as LIVESTRONG and Third Grade Learn to Swim are funded solely through donations. Annual Campaign Chair Pattie Braga, referring to the Third Grade Learn to Swim program, says that “everyone in a beachside city should know how to swim.” “The Ventura Family YMCA saves lives with our Third Grade Learn to Swim program by providing free swim lessons to any third grader who has not learned how to swim,” said Braga. “It costs so little to make a huge impact.” For more information about the Ventura Family YMCA and to learn how to donate, visit www.ciymca.org/ventura. — Chris O’Neal

Eye on the Environment

Plastic foam drop-off reopens for transit packaging only by David Goldstein Last month, Astrofoam Molding, at 4117 Calle Tesoro in Camarillo, reopened a polystyrene transport packaging recycling drop-off opportunity to the public after giving up for several months in 2018. They gave up last year, and may do so again, due to reckless recyclers. Because the value of dropped-off material is negligible — foam is over 90 percent air — Astrofoam cannot afford to have workers spend much time removing and disposing unacceptable material. Astrofoam regrinds foam and mixes it with their virgin material to manufacture products such as coolers for perishables, wine shipment boxes, corner/edge protectors and custom transit packaging. If employees miss sorting out a piece of metal in a load of foam, they risk damaging the equipment. If they miss sorting

out a label or tape, they risk degrading the quality of Astrofoam’s product. Adding to the challenges is that not all foam is the same, so not all can be accepted. Astrofoam does not accept food service polystyrene such as cups, meat trays, egg cartons or takeout food containers. Food service polysyrene is vacuum formed or dry molded, making it too thin to recycle in Astrofoam’s equipment. Astrofoam’s regrinder also cannot recycle high-density foam or foam over 2 inches in thickness. Plastic foam (e.g. Styrofoam) is ubiquitous in food service containers and packaging. Because it is made by heating plastic resin with a gas, it is a product composed of bubbles. The resulting volume-to-weight ratio provides both an environmental benefit and a risk. On the plus side, because polystyrene uses so little material, its manufacture requires

Planet Ventura BUTTS TO BUTTS

fewer resources and uses less energy than comparable packages, according to a study by Franklin Associates, a widely respected environmental research firm. Its volume-to-weight ratio, however, also makes it too difficult to recycle in curbside or commercial programs in Ventura County. Worse, when it breaks apart and blows out of garbage cans or trucks or off piles at solid waste facilities, it can become permanent litter. According to the website of the nonprofit Heal the Bay, 110 municipalities in California have limited the use of polystyrene. The County of Ventura prohibits vendors at county parks, community centers or recreation facilities from serving food or drinks in polystyrene. The city of Santa Monica’s ban is the most recent and goes farther. Starting at the beginning of this month, any business serving food

or drinks in that city must use either reusable or ocean-degradable containers, essentially banning polystyrene from restaurants citywide. Conscientious consumers can easily avoid polystyrene food service containers, generally by making choices when ordering food, drinks or to-go containers at restaurants. Few, however, can avoid another category of polystyrene: “transport packaging” used to contain, protect, or insulate products during shipment. If you order products online, you are likely to receive blocks of polystyrene, some of which may not fit easily into your refuse cart.

Kindness Corner

he City of Ventura and the Surfrider Foundation have unveiled a truly unique project utilizing thousands of cigarette butts collected from local beaches. The bench, installed near the Ventura Pier, looks no different from an ordinary bench, but its makeup is entirely different. Rather than the typical metal and wood, the bench consists of recycled cigarette butts discarded on Ventura beaches. The Surfrider Foundation says that since installation of 76 ashcans throughout the city, 250,000 butts have been sent to TerraCycle, a recycling facility that transforms the butts into plastic pellets which then can be made into various products. To see a map of ashcan locations, visit ventura. surfrider.org/programs-and-campaigns/hold-on-to-yourbutt/.

Planet Oxnard ENABLED TO ASSIST

he Oxnard Fire Department’s new Light and Air 65 vehicle, docked at Oxnard Fire Station 5, has been put into service. The unit, made available via a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program grant in the amount of $450,000, will respond to hazardous materials incidents, working fires, extended rescues and when additional lighting capabilities are needed. A main function of the unit is to refill air cylinders, of which a single firefighter can use up to four within the first 40 minutes of a fire. The unit will also allow the OFD to provide assistance to neighboring Camarillo, Ventura and Port Hueneme. — Chris O’Neal

GONE FISHIN’

hildren had the pleasure of catching fish on Jan. 27 off of the Port Hueneme pier, when the Reel Guppy Outdoor Program hosted a fishing excursion. The kids, aged 4 to 10, caught an array of sea-dwelling creatures including a 100-pound sating ray, which was released. A donor named John gifted $1,000 to the program, which teaches local kids how to fish and enjoy the outdoors in their own neighborhood.

AQUANAUT ADVENTURE

Camarillo resident recalls experience in Navy program for PBS documentary

BY CHRIS O'NEAL | CHRIS@VCREPORTER.COM Of billions of humans, Camarillo’s Robert Bornholdt is one of the few who can be called an aquanaut. In the late 1960s, the U.S. Navy launched a program inspired by the work and theories of one George Bond. That program, dubbed Sealab, would lead to the implementation of so-called saturation diving that allowed divers to live, work, eat and sleep hundreds of feet beneath the ocean’s surface in pressurized capsules. Lessons learned from the short-lived program are still in use today, utilized in covert operations and deep-sea exploration. Bornholdt achieved his dream of working with Bond and the aquanauts during Sealab III, which would meet an untimely, tragic end. The program itself was lost to history, submerged in the murky waters of the Cold War. A documentary dubbed Sealab, based in part on the book Sealab: America’s Forgotten Quest to Live and Work on the Ocean Floor by Ben Hellwarth, will premiere on PBS Tuesday, Feb. 12 on PBS and will feature interviews with Bornholdt and many of the former aquanauts, as well as unique, fascinating footage. VCReporter: Tell me about your experience in the Navy. When did you enlist and what were your duties?

Bob Bornholdt: I came out of the merchant marine academy in Kings Point, New York, and came in as an officer. I went to diving school and was a Navy diver for most of my time in the Navy. After I left the Navy, I was a commercial diver for about 10 years.

How did you become aware of Sealab?

Soon after I got into the Navy, I read about the program. I wasn’t a qualified Navy diver at the time, but I’d been through some mixed-gas training with some explosive ordinance people that I knew, so I was an unqualified, qualified diver, and I read about the experiment and wrote Capt. George Bond. He’s a guy who really thought this whole thing up. They were getting ready to do Sealab I off of Bermuda, about 200 feet, with four aquanauts. I wrote him a letter and said, “I’m the kind of guy you need, you’ve got to get me in this program.” Of course, he was trying to get money from the Navy and didn’t have time for people like me, and nothing happened. A year later, Sealab II was planned and again I wrote him and said, “Now I am a qualified diver, you really need me in this program,” and, of course, he never answered — and then Sealab III came about, which was the deep 600 footer and I wrote him again and he did not answer me. But one thing led to another and I actually got assigned to Sealab III. I became an aquanaut and worked with him closely for several years and the rest is history.

What was his reaction when you told him you were the guy sending him those letters?

He was so busy, he was way up on the food chain, way above me and he was dealing with the president’s staff. George was a thinking man, and very brilliant. When George died, we all went and buried him next to his wife in Bat Cave, North Carolina.

What was your initial impression of the idea of saturation diving?

I was in my late 20s, when you’re indestructible and you want to do all kinds of things like that. I said, “This is for me, this is what I want to do.” When I saw the movie Exodus I almost left the country and went over to Israel and joined the Jews, I was ready for adventure.

Explain what it feels like to pressurize for deep sea dives.

It’s like being inside a bottle of Pepsi and everything is fizzing. Your whole body fizzes. But that’s the concept that George Bond came up with. What if instead of putting a guy down to 200 feet and decompressing them for the rest of the day, why not leave them there until he’s

saturated and let him get the job done? Pressurize him, put him in a bell at the same pressure, let him eat, sleep, shower, get up and go to work, stay there for a week or a month at that pressure and then when he’s done then decompress him. That was the concept of saturation diving that George Bond thought up and pioneered. We lived at 600 feet for a little over a week, we were saturated, and you had to stay at that pressure. When we were all done it took one day to decompress for every 100 feet, so it took us six days to decompress. Since Sealab, there’s been several dives to over 1,000 feet, so you can imagine the guy’s working on these capsules, going out to work each day and going back to the capsule, getting ready to decompress, it’s 10 days of decompression. That’s still used all over the world today because of Bond, Jacques Cousteau and Ed Link, who did the same thing as a civilian in this country.

Scott Carpenter, the second man to orbit the planet, was also an aquanaut. What was your experience like working with him?

It was great. He spent all of his time in the Navy hobnobbing with the big guys, but really, he didn’t know a lot about the ins and outs, but he was a very bright guy and very detailed. In Sealab III, I was a team leader, there were five of us, and we’d meet every other day with Carpenter and he’d explain what was going on in the shipyard, what the schedule was. He had a bone necrosis and he couldn’t dive anymore and the doctors were afraid to decompress him, so he became a mentor and he wasn’t allowed to dive. No BS about him, just a great guy.

Sealab III ended with the tragic death of aquanaut Berry Cannon. How well did you know Berry?

I worked with him on a daily basis for two years. Knew him quite well.

Why wouldn’t the hatch on Sealab III open?

Sealab III was leaking, and in order to keep it from flooding, they had to keep the pressure on it, and the timing was such that when the aquanauts tried to open the hatch, the guy on the valve was keeping pressure on the hatch to keep it from flooding and he couldn’t open it. It was a timing problem between the first and second dive.

What are/were your thoughts on the incident? What could have been done diﬀerently?

It’s like anything that a group does for the first time. There’s a lot of risk involved. Just look at your test pilots, your submariners, it was the same thing. We were making up the rules as we went along. There were no such animals as aquanauts until we became aquanauts. There were no saturation decompression tables until we made

them. The rules were completely different. We had to adjust to helium, sounding like Mickey Mouse when you talked, there was one thing after another. There were a lot of minor mishaps along the way. Guys would lose hearing, get hurt, but like any program of that magnitude you’ve got to break a couple of eggs. Unfortunately, Berry got caught in a real mess there.

You said that you salvaged the original Sealab?

It’s in Panama City, Florida, right now. I was the Commanding Officer of the experimental diving unit in Panama City, Florida, and Sealab was sitting out in the sand, just sitting there for fish to occupy it. I got together with a couple of guys and decided to salvage it, fix it up and give it to the local museum. It took us about a month to get it out of the sand, refurbish it, and convince people to lift it up for us and run it downtown.

How do you feel about the legacy of Sealab? It’s not exactly well known to many.

I used to go around to the schools and explain to the kids what we were doing. You tell people “I’m a saturation diver,” 99.9 percent of the population can’t relate to that and has no idea what that means. There’s only 300 at the most saturation divers. It’s a pretty narrow discipline.

What’s the next harsh environment to conquer?

As we speak, all the stuff we did, all the pieces of equipment are in use today. We’ve got stuff going on against the Russians, we’re spying on the French, British, Saudi Arabia, Canada, everybody. And they’re spying on us using that same technology. The idea of Sealab was having a house down there [— that] was complete[ly] romantic. You shoot holes in it from the very beginning, saying, “This is silly. Why not put a guy in the bell?” Let the guy go out of the bell and come back, same pressure. Bring the bell up, put it on a ship, climb into the ship, eat, sleep, shower, go to work again. That’s what’s happening today. All the world is using saturation diving, repairing oil rigs, finding stuff that’s lost and the ability today, realistically, is at about 1,000 feet. If you go deeper than 1,000 feet, you need a robot.

How do you deﬁne the legacy of the George Bond experiments?

He’s the one that thought this thing up and Jacques Cousteau jumped on it and started doing it and a guy named Ed Link, a real famous engineer, got into saturation diving and from there we exported it to the British and the French. His legacy lives today. I don’t know how many dives are going on right now as we speak around the world but they’re using George’s technique right now.

Aside from the central cast, stand outs include Amie Woolweber as Mrs. Corry (who does a nifty hand jive), Lyndon Apostol as Neleus (a great dancer) and Katie McTyre as Miss Andrew (perfectly menacing as “the holy terror”). Rounding out the cast are the terrific Tami Keaton, Noah Terry, Erin Fagundes, Lauren Rachel, DJ Brady, Patrick Rogers, Andrew Nunez, Michael Kronenberg and Brenda White. The delightful ensemble features Mary Alice Brady, Nicholas Davila, Zoe Fagundes, Whitney Grubb, Kira Reed, Annie Sherman and Claudia Stone Sheppard. Scott Armstrong and Sierra Armstrong designed the sets that run the gamut from the Banks’ home and the rooftops of London to a make-believe shop. Each set is full of surprises that give the production a sparkle of magic. Kudos also go to lighting designer Patrick Duffy and costume designer Barbara Mazeika, both of whom are at the top of their respective games. One of the best things about Mary Poppins is that while it is uplifting and bright, it doesn’t shy away from the dark. The High Street production fully embraces this. The slightly menacing dance of ill-treated toys and the terrible Miss Andrew are evidence of that. We are swept up in every minute of the children’s adventure, the wonder of which is matched by the delight we share in Mr. Banks’ reawakening. (Well done, Mr. Ingram.) Mary Poppins reminds us that childhood slips away only if we let it. ✦ Mary Poppins through Feb. 24 at High Street Arts Center, 45 East High Street, Moorpark.

Stupid, sexy Flanders

Okilly Dokilly’s heavy Nedal thunder comes to Discovery by David Cotner

n case you’ve been living under a rock in Springfield for the past five years, there’s a quintet of metal maniacs from Phoenix who take as their artistic inspiration the appearance and psyche of one Nedward Flanders Jr., otherwise known as Ned Flanders, the eerily cheerful evangelist of The Simpsons. The band — founder, singer and guitarist Head Ned, bassist Bed Ned, drummer Dread Ned, guitarist Shred Ned and synths player Zed Ned — recently put the finishing touches on its latest single, “ReNeducation.” You’ll hear it along with other examples of its signature heavy Nedal sound, as well as songs on the soon-to-be-released album, Howdilly Twodilly, when the band comes to Discovery Ventura on Feb. 6. Head Ned explains the allure of Flanders Consciousness and how seriously they take their responsibilities as the metal manifestation of everyone’s favorite cartoon scold.

DC: Of all the characters in pop culture for you to emulate, why Flanders? Ned: The things that define Ned, and the things often associated with heavy metal, are very much opposites. Ned is churchgoing, while metal often assumes a level of Satanism. Ned is friendly to the extreme, while metal is aggressive to the extreme. Putting them together sounded fun — like mixing acids and bases. It was an idea that we thought had a really pure kind of irony to it.

How deeply do you find yourself slipping into Flanders consciousness when you perform? I definitely try to channel as much Flanders as possible. There’s a 1997 episode called “Hurricane Neddy” during which Ned snaps and yells at everyone in town. That’s the Ned I go for, mid-song. At the end of the episode, he politely threatens to run people down with his car. That’s the “between songs” Ned I go for.

Is anyone from The Simpsons aware of Okilly Dokilly?

[Showrunner and Executive Producer] Al Jean responded to a tweet about us a few years ago, so I know he’s at least aware of it. I’m not sure how far into The Simpsons camp that awareness goes.

Does a pop culture concept/tribute band community exist? I think there is a little bit of a community — even just

12 —

— January 31, 2019

because of the fact that there aren’t a lot of bands like ours, so the few that exist often tour together. That’s how we know the guys from Mac Sabbath and [heavy metal mariachi band] Metalachi. There’s a Simpsons-themed band in Australia called Dr. Colossus; I keep in touch with their frontman as well.

Is there any appeal in covering songs that have been on The Simpsons, such as “The Monorail Song,” in the style of Okilly Dokilly, or is that just taking things too far?

It’s definitely an idea we’ve toyed with. There’s a great 2003 episode (“Dude, Where’s My Ranch?”) with David Byrne where Homer writes a hit song about everyone hating Ned Flanders. I’d like to open a set with that.

Was there one defining, shining moment you realized that this was the band for you? Definitely. There’s a band in Toronto called The Be Sharps that exclusively covers Simpsons tunes; they play “Talkin’ Softball” (“Homer at the Bat,” 1999) at their sound checks. We played a show with them once and they were excellent. It was just something we did for fun after that. But a week after we had put everything online, it went pretty viral and we suddenly had 20,000 Facebook fans and a million listens on the demo. Before that, I didn’t think this kind of band would interest anyone. I’m convinced that I was incorrect.

Are there lyrics for Okilly Dokilly that are off-limits when it comes to Flanders? The lyrics are nearly all direct Ned quotes, which really limits our ability to say anything off-limits. Ned himself was appalled at once having drunkenly said that Ann Landers was a “boring old biddy.” We, of course, used that lyric in a song called “More Animal Than Flan.”

Would you ever do a power ballad in memory of Ned’s late wives Maude or Edna? I don’t think so. We do have T-shirt cannons at shows, though, and we fire a few T-shirts in salute of Maude. ✦ Okilly Dokilly appears on Wednesday, Feb. 6, at 7 p.m. at Discovery, 1888 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura.

Catch Las Cafeteras at the PACC on Friday.

Las Cafeteras will perform in Oxnard this weekend by Carl Kozlowski

ecently, native son Anderson .Paak paid homage to his hometown via his latest album, Oxnard, and a weekend-long record release party at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC). This Friday will present the opportunity to catch other hot local musicians at the PACC, when Las Cafeteras makes a rare but welcome appearance. Using Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms and rhymes while telling modern-day stories with socially relevant and inspiring lyrics, Las Cafeteras documents the stories of a community seeking love and justice in the concrete jungle of Southern California. Using traditional son jarocho instruments such as the jarana, requinto and even quijada (a donkey jawbone) while singing in English, Spanish and Spanglish and adding in rock, hiphop and rancheras, the group serves up an incredibly eclectic soundscape in its shows. “We piece things together, but the base is traditional Mexican folk music fused with all kinds of contemporary music we grew up in around Southern California,” says the group’s drummer, Jose Cano. “It’s old school meets new school. We’re excited about this show because despite the fact that two of the seven band members [including Ventura-based Jorge Mijangos] live in Ventura County, this is our first public show in Ventura County ever. We usually perform all over the country and internationally.” Indeed, the band tours five months each year, with treks to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe last summer. Cano says that band members are eager to be part of the city’s thriving scene, and hope that the PACC show will be “the start of that thread and fabric.” “Oxnard is a largely hardworking immigrant community and that’s the background of pretty much everyone in the band,” says Cano. “A lot of folks struggle and we grew up that way. . . . We’re storytellers, and we focus on stories of community. We talk about our folks, parents, friends, social justice and immigrants. We create music that we want to use to promote a better tomorrow and a better world.” ✦ Las Cafeteras performs with the Villalobos Brothers at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 1, at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard. For tickets and more information, call 805-486-2424 or visit oxnardperformingarts.com.

he most popular dining options in downtown Santa Paula are probably the wonderful Rabalais’ or the reliable pub Garman’s — although on game day, The Draft at Mupu Grill will give both a run for their money. But when these stalwarts are packed or you want something relaxed and affordable, I will happily suggest La Terraza. Right across the street from the California Oil Museum, it’s very much a typical hole-in-the-wall serving authentic Mexican cuisine: tacos featuring several different cuts and preparations of meat (including tripe, tongue and birria), burritos, tortas, enchiladas, a variety of shrimp-based dishes and sometimes mole. Order at the counter and a server will bring it to your table — which might be a comfortable booth inside, or, preferably, on a charming enclosed patio. It was cloudy but mild on a recent Sunday, so we opted for some fresh air and people watching. We placed an order at the window: two burritos (carne asada and the standard beans, rice and cheese), a taco combination plate with al pastor and a big bowl of pozole, available only on weekends. We sipped horchata (which was fantastic, by the way, and loaded with cinnamon flavor; definitely recommended) and nibbled on chips and a medium-spicy salsa while waiting for our order. We didn’t wait for long — everything came up hot and fresh in what felt like moments. If you’re looking for nourishment in a hurry, La Terraza is a great choice. The al pastor was definitely one of the better ones I’ve had the opportunity to sample. The well-seasoned, red-tinted pork morsels had a good char, but were still tender and juicy. Very flavorful. The combination platter

ADVICE GODDESS

Care Bare

I’

m dating this new woman. I like her a lot, but she keeps complaining that I still have pictures of my ex-girlfriend on my wall, saying that it makes her uncomfortable, especially when we’re having sex. I was with my ex for a while, and we lived together. They’re just pictures. What’s the big deal? — Irritated There’s a place for the photographic Museum of Relationships Past, but it isn’t the area around your bed — assuming that your sex partners don’t require inflation with a bike pump. Actual human beings have feel-

by amy alkon ings. They long to be treated with dignity — to be given the sense that others value them and care about how they make them feel. This would be reflected, for example, in replacing what, to a woman, probably looks like a wall shrine to the ex with pix of your other, less inflammatory loves, like Linda, your family’s late Rottweiler. It’s possible that you have some sort of empathy gap — something keeping you from the usually automatic “fellow feeling.” This is a way researchers have described the sort of empathy that involves “emotional contagion” — “catching” and then feeling an emotion another person’s feeling, to some degree. Even if this isn’t natural for you, you can bring it into your relationships through “perspective-taking” — making an effort to imagine how another person feels in a situation. (This is different from imagining how you would feel.) Research by C. Daniel Batson suggests that trying to feel what another person is feeling leads us to have empathy, “which has been found to evoke altruistic motivation.” This means that it motivates a person to behave in kind and compassionate ways. In contrast, though imagining how we would feel if we were in the

other person’s shoes produces empathy, too, the researchers found that it also produces “personal distress, which has been found to evoke egoistic motivation” — which is to say, “Me! Me! Me! All about me!” In general, treating other people as if their feelings matter — even when you don’t share their feelings or think they’re entirely legit — makes for far happier relationships. If you aren’t interested in putting in the work to show empathy, you can still have a relationship — but with an atypical partner. Your best bet is probably a Boston fern — specifically one adver-

than “I wanted to spend eternity with your boobs.” Research by psychologists Andrew Galperin and Martie Haselton finds that men, far more often than women, report experiencing “love at first sight.” However, they conceded that “some men might be reporting some episodes of sheer sexual desire as ‘love at first sight.’ ” (Ya think?) This sex difference in love at first sight aligns with the different pressures ancestral men and women had to contend with to survive and pass on their genes. Because women alone g et pre gnant from sex, female emotions e vo l ve d t o push women to take the slow route in mating — to assess a man over time for his level of commitment and character — lest a woman end up with a baby daddy who’s all “Beep, beep! — I’m outta here” like the Roadrunner. Men, on the other hand, have an evolved sexual business model of volume and variety (kind of like Walmart). However, because ancestral men could bolt right after sex and still have a chance of leaving surviving descendants, it was in men’s evolutionary interest to hook up with an endless parade of hot-erellas. As I often mention, female features we think of as beautiful — like youth,

Bad Stare Day Do men fall in love at first sight more than women do? My male friend says it’s mostly men who’ll see a woman from across a room or subway platform and fall for her. Yeah, I know that happens. Don’t women do this, too? Like, a lot? — Wondering Dude A guy’s claim of “love at first sight” plays better with the ladies

clear skin, an hourglass figure, and pillowy lips — are actually cues of health and fertility. So, not surprisingly, male mating imperatives evolved to be visually motivated — “Do you look like the woman for me?” — in a way female ones did not. Ultimately, though evolved male mating psychology is pushing you — even today — to be eyeball-driven, understanding its origins can help you be mindful to take a step back and put in the time to explore a woman’s character. This may help keep you from jumping into a relationship with some woman who turns out to be an extremely hot sociopath. As you might cry to your friends, “I’m so confused; she seemed so genuinely interested in me — wanting to know where I bank, the name of my first pet, and the last four of my Social.” ♦ (c)2019, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

tions 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 $390,116.56 (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. 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. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

The mobilehome park owner may participate in the public sale.

The Mobile Home Park owner has enforced a judgment for possession of the premises. Presently there is no right to keep this unit on Space 104-A. However, after the sale is concluded, the management may entertain offers of financial consideration from the buyer in exchange for granting the buyer permission to leave the unit on-site in the future. Any prospective buyer wishing to reside in the unit must qualify for that right via the application and approval process.

If the management approves this unit to remain on Space 104-A, then the successful bidder will be responsible for discovering and correcting all violations of Community Rules and State Regulations. Details are available at the Mobile Home Park on-site office. In the event that a post-sale agreement re: future occupancy is not reached, then the Mobile Home Park owner reserves the right to require the removal of the mobilehome within 48 hours after the sale. Prospective purchasers must tender a cashier’s check for the full amount of the purchase immediately at the conclusion of the sale. Except for the warranty that this sale is authorized by law, absolutely no warranties of sale are made. The park reserves the right to postpone and reschedule the sale without further notice. The general public will have access to the Mobilehome Park premises for purposes related to this sale. This sale does not include any contents of the unit and the successful bidder is responsible for the lawful disposition of all remaining contents of the unit. The Mobilehome is described as: One (1) 1971 Imperial Single Family Mobile Home; California HCD Decal No.: AAF7198; Serial Nos.: S50093U/X; HUD Label/ Insignia Nos.: 517578 & 517579; Length: 40’; Width: 20’. Santa Paula West Mobile Home Park’s claim for sums unpaid for September 1, 2018 through January 31, 2019, is set forth above and must be paid by the registered owner or other party in interest within 10 days of this notice in order to redeem the mobilehome, remove it from Space 104-A and stop the sale. The Registered Owner’s payment of the sums demanded by this Notice will not reinstate the tenancy (and sub-tenancy, if any) under a rental agreement in default. 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 writing to that effect - I will, as required by law, obtain and mail to you proof of the debt. The law does not require me to wait until the end of the 30 day period before proceeding to collect this debt. If, however, you request proof of the debt within the thirty (30) day period that begins with your receipt of this Notice, the law requires me to suspend my efforts (through litigation or otherwise) to collect the debt until I mail the requested information to you.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either

of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit the Internet Web site, using the file number assigned to this case 18-006022. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by: MECHELLE GEROGE in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that: MECHELLE GEROGE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. 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: March 7, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. J-6. 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: Fred Rosenmund SBN: 90033, 2816 Rice Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93033, (805) 486-2500.
