OPINION Editorial

Squeezed out of California, Ventura County C

alifornia is an awesome state with natural wonders and great weather, plus an enduring left-leaning political ideology that touts compassion to the disenfranchised. So why are more people leaving than coming to live here? In a Jan. 3 CALmatters report, California’s population growth has been on the decline for decades, but recent estimates show practical stagnation: Growth began to slow in the late 1990s and has been decelerating ever since. Immigration has slowed to a trickle, and California now loses more people to other states than it gains. Birthrates have declined sharply and as the first baby boom generation ages, the state’s death rate is increasing. Annual growth rates are dropping, from 0.9 percent in 2010-11 to just 0.4 percent in 2017-18, according to the Census Bureau. That growth status is on par with population trends in Ventura County. According to the 2018 economic forecast by California Lutheran University Center for Economic Research and Forecasting: Ventura County’s population growth rate in 2017 was 0.29 percent, a number higher than the previous year but still almost indistinguishable from zero. Only two times over the history for which we have data has the county’s population growth been slower. The county currently exhibits negative net domestic migration. Young adults who are starting careers and families are often selecting to move out of the county.

Letters Don’t “spread” your “cooties”!!!

o you enjoy this freezing cold weather we are having this winter in Southern California due to the season change? Would you rather be indoors cuddled under a blanket with the heat on than to go out in these freezing temperatures and get your errands done, etc.? What about your precious feet? How are they? Don’t the ever get cold? Well, I’ll tell you what! Mine sure do! Very much! They freeze! That is one reason why I am starting a “sock” ministry called “the feet of peace.” To warm each sole I come in contact with and pray over them. Beside this point, I am writing this article because I am passionate about people who have colds and coughs and flus and that go out in public and are contagious and spread their symptoms to others who are well. That really irritates me and makes me very upset because of a situation of the past with my sick mother who suffered greatly with bone cancer and didn’t want me to be around her when I had a cold or cough. She told me to stay home

In our feature this week, “Where did the kids go?”, at least five years of declining school enrollment numbers countywide don’t lie — though theories abound as to why, ranging from immigration status issues to migration to other states due to the cost of living. The repercussions of stagnant population growth are exponential. They include smaller school budgets as state funding comes per student, private employers become limited with recruiting and retaining skilled workers, downward economic trends with decreasing customers and fewer taxpayers, more senior citizens who need more services and consume less while younger spenders dwindle. Further, if families don’t want or can’t afford to stay in California, a burgeoning nationwide issue of the middle class squeeze, what will be left of California and Ventura County if these negative trends continue? Until California and Ventura County get a true grip on the cost of living and lack of opportunity issues, those who remain will be the ones who can easily afford to stay and those immobilized by poverty. Those in between will have left for a better life elsewhere. The question at large: What can we do as a community with lawmakers at our behest to make Ventura County and California an attractive place to live for all income ranges? Send your suggestions to editor@ vcreporter.com.

and nurse my cold back to health and not to “spread” my “cooties.” That was the right thing to do! I believe everyone should do what my mom taught me (everywhere). It would be beneficial if everyone would nurse their colds and flus and get better before going to work or school or church, etc. We would have less people spreading their sickness and everyone would be better off. I understand that a lot of people are having financial difficulties and it forces them to work when they are ill; however, I wanted to bring up this point nevertheless. Let us be more considerate of others and take better care of ourselves and take our vitamin C and our vitamin D and get sunshine during this flu season and if we have to get our flu shots than let’s get them and wash our hands frequently with hand sanitizer and if we have the flu then: • Stay home and get plenty of rest. Mind your flu manners. • Drink plenty of fluids. Make sure you get more liquids. • Treat aches and fever … got fever? • Take care of your cough. • Breathe in steam. • Sit in a steamy bathroom. • Run the humidifier. • Try a lozenge

Remember the flu season can vary from October to activity peaking in December and February with activity that can last as late as May. If a person gets the flu and it turns into pneumonia, the pneumonia is considered a bacterial infection and the person can even die. To prevent the flu it is important to exercise, to eat a healthy diet, to wash hands frequently, get humidifier, keep moving, cut back on calories, get sleep, also get the flu shot. It also says in III John 1:2, “As your soul prospers may your health prosper for everyone who reads this.” I hope this has encouraged you to want to be well and stay well and not pass your sickness to others and also to give you a future and a hope to prosper you not to harm you, saith the Lord in Jeremiah 29:11. God Bless Desiree Carla Lautman Ventura

n June of 2015, Donald Trump officially ran for president. He came in like a whirlwind, spewing the worst of Republican talking points, but also coming across as a populist outsider with a media and business background that appealed to Democrats who felt their party was ignoring their middle-class American cries. Republicans wanted someone to use the bully pulpit to fight for their causes on immigration, abortion and taxes. President Trump was an original too. We’ve had populists (Ross Perot) and businessmen (Mitt Romney) and anti-immigration (Pat Buchanan) run before, but never quite like him. With soon-tobe-resigning Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz hinting that he’s considering a presidential run, Trump might face his biggest obstacle yet, an actual businessman. In 2015, Trump didn’t have a real CEO run scandals, like the infamous red cup at Christagainst him, therefore not allowing his GOP mas, the arrest of black patrons and bathroom counterpoints to challenge his record with real usage guidelines, he appears to be a standup felweight.

detractors are coming from the left. Primarily, Elizabeth Warren. “I’ve also been criticized for being a billionaire,” Schultz said Wednesday. “Let’s talk about that. I’m self-made. I grew up in the project in Brooklyn, New York. I thought that was the American dream, the aspiration of America. You’re going to criticize me for — for being successful when in my company over the last 30 years, the only company in America that gave comprehensive health insurance, equity in the form of stock options and free college tuition?

Being authentic

Oxnard chiropractor sheds light on manifesting dreams

by Michael Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com “Every struggle led me to dream to become the best me,” wrote Oxnard chiropractor Danny Lai, a Chinese refugee, about his journey to the U.S. and becoming a health professional. But Lai didn’t stop with his academic and business pursuits; he recently became a published author of Live Your Life, which he will be discussing at the Ventura County Writers Club at the Pleasant Valley Recreation Center in Camarillo on Feb. 12, starting at 7 p.m. As many Americans are overcome with worry, doubt and anxiety, Lai touts a different perspective, coming from serious personal struggles to stability and progress in achieving goals: “Don’t settle for happenstance. Seek out your own desires and become the master of your life.”

Explain the differences between your home in China and then life in the U.S.

The fall of South Vietnam was in 1975. The communist dictatorship of North Vietnam ruled the whole country. You were force to declared personal belongings and at any given moment they can cease your possession or money as they wished. Freedom stripped by the communist, the future was uncertain. Through the eyes of a 7 year old, I can tell you free meals or reduced breakfast and lunch at school was a blessing. As a fresh immigrant of the United States, government program and assistance help provide food, water and shelter. My family has been helped through medical and food stamps. Government assistance is not existence in Vietnam. Many children are not able to go to school and they need to work to help the family. I love the fact the United States provides an environment for an individual to be educated. From public grade school to community college are available at no to low cost. This is one thing I love the U.S. dearly. You can be whatever you want to be (via schooling) and the government will help you through grants or loans.

Tell us about a few of your harder times here that led you into the mindset you were in when you wrote your book. My experience (the boat trip) escaping from Vietnam left an unconscious impression in my mind that life is hard. If you can dream, be willing to take actions, eventually it will manifest in reality. In my high school years, mom would work at a Chinese restaurant as a waitress. The hour she worked was 10 a.m.-10 p.m. After coming home at night, she along with my older brother and I would sew from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. These were garments pre-cut and we had to tailor them to a finish products usually a dress or blouse. I hated having to stay up late at night. This went on for days, weeks, months and years. It was a means of making more money for our family survival. From this experience I vowed that I would never have to do this again. I knew I was smart in school. But more than anything else, I am never going to work so hard for so little. I am going to make something of myself. At the age of 16 years old, my junior year in high school, I decided that I was going to be a chiropractor.

AMGEN TOUR’S 2019 CYCLING ROUTE WITH VENTURA STOP

Don’t call it a comeback. Well, actually, do call it a comeback. The 2019 Amgen Tour of California will return to the city of Ventura for the second year. The 773-mile cycling race launched Stage 2 from Ventura in 2018, having previously passed through on its way across the state in prior years. This year’s Stage 5 will begin in Pismo Beach for the men, where cyclists will pass through San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties on their way to Ventura. Women’s Stage 5 will begin and end in Ventura in a 60-mile loop. The seven-day race begins in May and is watched around the globe as a premier cycling contest.

COUNTY CITIES GET LOW GRADES IN TOBACCO CONTROL REPORT

Tell us about your journey to the United States. I am Chinese but lived in Saigon, Vietnam. My family fled from the Communist regime of North Vietnam in 1979. My mother took her five children (3 to 8 years old) and my two cousins (13 and 17 years old) on a book trip to escape. There were 250 passengers on a wooden fish boat. We were in the ocean for seven days. We even encounter pirate ship on the open sea. We finally landed on the beach of Malaysia. It was a refugee camp. We lived on the beach for three months until the United States sponsor us. I was 7 years old, second oldest sibling.

In Brief

issues, but many may stem from emotional stress. What do you tell your clients about how to reorganize their thinking to feel less pain and suffering in the life journey? If the source of pain and suffering is from emotional stress, I remind my patient that your body will keep reminding you (through symptoms or pain) until you resolved whatever is ailing you emotionally or mentally. If you have challenges in life instead of having a “why me” or “poor me” attitude, a better perspective is to ask what am I suppose to learn from this event. With this attitude we go from a victim of circumstances to victor of our destiny. Being authentic to yourself is the path to living an inspire life.

Which common physical ailments are linked to our outlook on life and how we handle unpredictable news? Anger and depression can be a result from emotional stress. Unresolved emotional stress can lead to skin outbreaks, tingling sensation, and even migraine headaches. Indecisive and emotional stress can be a result of insomnia.

What compelled you to write the book? The universe will constantly remind you to be true to yourself. My daughter and patient routinely would tell me I need to write a book. Being a first generation immigrant in America I realized now that I have a message to share. I am grateful that I am alive. Having gone through the boat journey, struggle with starting a new life in a new world, the long process of becoming a doctor of chiropractic. Now, 23 years after graduating chiropractic school, I realize all these events have served me in becoming the best of me. Every struggle led me to dream to become the best me. I hope I can inspire the readers of my book to live their life. The American dream is alive. I am proof of it.

What do you think most people are missing when they choose to do anything but simply their life? If you make your life easy now, you will live a lifetime of hardship. If you make your life hard now, life will be easier later. An example of this principle can be applied in getting an education, or saving for retirement.

What are your thoughts on living with regret? Regret seems to be anything other than Live Your Life.

Living with regret is usually a result of surrendering to our fears. The fears of failure, the fear of not smart enough, the fear of being rejected by our parents, the fear of not being socially acceptable are the source of disempowerment. ✦ The Pleasant Valley Recreation Center is at 1605 Burnley Street in Camarillo.

The American Lung Association has released its annual State of Tobacco Control report and several Ventura County cities aren’t looking so hot as the rest of the state receives high marks. The report assigns grades to cities statewide, awarding points in categories such as whether or not a city has smokefree housing, outdoor air and the proximity/saturation of tobacco-related businesses. It also awards bonus points for handling issues such as having retailer location restrictions, flavored tobacco products and more. Oxnard received an overall B grade, with an A in the “Smokefree Outdoor Air” and “Reducing Sales Of Tobacco Products” categories, but an F in the “Smokefree Housing” category, receiving zero points for failing to have smokefree apartments, condominiums or common areas. Both Ventura and Camarillo received C grades while Thousand Oaks received a D. Statewide, California received an A for its smoke-free air policies and Bs for funding of state tobacco prevention programs. The association, however, rang the alarm bell after finding a 78 percent increase in e-cigarette usage among high school students between 2017 and 2018.

NAVAL BASE VENTURA COUNTY HOSTING TWO-WEEK-LONG EXERCISE

Naval Base Ventura County is in the midst of a two-weeklong exercise that may affect traffic around the base. The training exercise, known as Exercise Citadel Shield / Solid Curtain 2019 (SC/SC-19), will take place on Naval bases across the country through Friday, Feb. 15, with the goal of “increasing training and readiness of Navy Security Forces.” According to a press release from the NBVC, the exercises may increase traffic around the base and may cause delays upon entering the base. Residents living near to the base may hear sounds associated with training.

REPORT: MATILIJA DAM’S REMOVAL SHOULD BE PRIORITY

California Trout, a nonprofit conservation group, has released a report listing the top five dams that provide the least benefit for people while causing the greatest hazard for native fish — and Ventura County’s Matilija Dam is one of them. The report, released in response to a “statewide fish extinction crisis” which the group says indicates that 74 percent of California’s native trout, salmon and steelhead species could be extinct by the next century, says that removal of the Matilija Dam, which is “essentially defunct” due to sediment build up, would benefit the Southern California steelhead trout the most. “The top five dams identified in the report provide only marginal value for people, while their removal would provide significant ecosystem and economic benefits,” said Curtis Knight, executive director of CalTrout. A plan to remove the dam was chosen in 2016 with a potential date of removal coming in 2020, though plans to remove the dam have been discussed since the year 2000 when a chunk of the dam was ceremoniously removed at a press conference hosted by then-Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt. — Chris O’Neal

Ventura County welcomes first girls in the Boy Scouts of America scouting program by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com On Feb. 1 in Camarillo, two troops officially joined the Boy Scouts of America scouting program, whose membership consists entirely of girls. In 2018, the Boy Scouts of America announced that it would drop the “boys” from its namesake program and instead rename it to Scouts BSA in an effort to appeal to girls, who beginning that summer were allowed into previously exclusive-to-boys programs. For Ventura resident Karen Erickson and her daughter, Claire, the announcement came with much excitement. When Karen learned about the opportunity, she brought her daughter to the initial meeting regarding the changes. “When she got there she was a little quiet and hesitant until they showed the marketing video to recruit the girls and as soon as she watched that she reached over and grabbed an application,” said Karen. “She’s been watching her brother go do amazing things for two to three years now and every time he goes, she stays home. I think that’s been a big motivation for her.” Karen’s son joined the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts in 2016 and took part in activities that were exclusive to the boys. From camping to rock climbing, canoeing and archery, boys were given an opportunity that made Karen ask, “Where is this opportunity for my daughter?”

Troop #1176 stand in front of the Scout Store in Camarillo. From left: Cameron Long, Claire Erickson, Cadence Oerlemans, Isis Nuno. “I looked across the spectrum and I kept coming back to, ‘I wish there was a Boy Scouts for her.’ ” Karen says that she looked into the Girl Scouts of America program but was more attracted to the ability to move up in ranks within the Scouts BSA program, where a scout can earn merit badges for accomplishing certain tasks, the biggest draw for her being the rank of Eagle Scout. “The Eagle Scout rank opens doors of oppor-

tunity for folks who have earned that rank,” said Karen. “Girls should be every place that decisions are being made, so if earning that rank gains them that opportunity that’s fantastic.” Scoutmaster Allan Oerlemans says that girls have been welcomed in to the Boy Scouts of America since the 1960s via a program called Explorers, which focused on career paths. In Ventura County, Oerlemans says that the program offers Sheriff Explorers and Fire Explorers, just to name a few. Since the 1970s, the BSA

programs Venturing and Sea Scouts have been co-ed as well for girls aged 14 or older. It wasn’t until 2018 that the BSA allowed girls into the Cub Scouts program for youth in grades Kindergarten to 5th. Feb. 1, 2019, was the official date after which girls would be allowed into the Scouts BSA program. “For years, boys have been attending all of these great events and exciting adventures and sisters either had to tag along or watch from the sidelines,” said Oerlemans, waxing on the fundamentals of the BSA program, saying that it focuses on building character, being a good citizen and learning leadership skills as well as being a good person. “We’ve been offering that to boys for 109 years now, so why don’t we offer it to girls? They deserve access to the same kind of programs.” On Friday, Feb. 1, six girls from Ventura took part in a kickoff celebration at the Boy Scouts of America Ventura County Council headquarters, submitting paperwork to officially become Troop #1176. Oerlemans says that the girls will perform the same duties and take part in the exact same activities as the boys. To signify that, at the celebration, the girls took part in a traditional Scout activity. “They got to perform their first official duty by raising the American flag at the BSA Ventura ✦ County HQ,” said Oerlemans.

WHERE ARE THE KIDS? E

School enrollment countywide steadily decreased over last five years BY DAVID MICHAEL COURTLAND

nrollment in Ventura County schools has been falling steadily for several years, even as Oxnard school districts continue to build new schools.

Attendance figures taken by Ventura County schools at the beginning of each school year show a steady drop in total school enrollment each year from 2013-14 to 2017-18. Ventura County’s overall total enrollment fell from 141,978 to 137,758 students during that period, just under 3 percent. The Ojai School District had the largest percentage drop, over 8 percent, from 2,751 in 2013-14 to 2,518 in 2017-18. But Oxnard school districts continue planning new school construction. In November voters approved Measure A, $105 million of which will pay for a new high school to compensate for overcrowding at Oxnard and Pacifica high schools. Also in November voters approved a $59 million bond measure Rio School District put on the ballot to fund completion of its new Rio Del Sol School in RiverPark and repair older schools.

DENIS O'LEARY 8—

— February 7, 2019

Likewise, voters approved $90 million and $142.5 million bond measures in 2012 and 2016, respectively, for Oxnard School District to build two new schools as well as repair existing ones. Rio School District was one of only two districts among 10 surveyed that gained students during the five years examined. Rio’s enrollment rose from 4,809 in 2013-14 to 5,090 in 2017-18. In the small Somis School District, enrollment rose from 256 to 261 during that period. Meanwhile Oxnard School District enrollment dropped to 16,599 in 2017-18 from 16,918 in 2015-16, after gaining slightly in the previous two years. The decline made OSD Trustee Denis O’Leary wonder whether parents were enrolling their children in other schools with open enrollment — the policy of allowing parents to enroll their children in the school of their choice — or because of federal immigration policy. OSD’s students are mostly Latino, many of them from families that emigrated illegally.

BETSY GEORGE

“The other thing is that in California kindergarten is not required, you don’t have to register children for kindergarten,” O’Leary noted. “We can see it’s families moving out of our district, the question is whether it has anything to do with immigration,” said O’Leary. “So are parents deciding to keep 5-year-olds at home instead of enrolling them, or are they moving to other places? We just don’t know.” But O’Leary was confident that regardless of what caused the decline, the new schools would be needed to accommodate Oxnard’s growth. “We do know that there are plans for new houses, houses that we all need to serve, we’re projecting out five or 10 years,” O’Leary said. “But I feel pretty confident that even with student population going down this year, we will need those schools.” OSD’s Superintendent Cesar Morales said that there are several possible reasons for the decline in enrollment and acknowledged immigration policy is among them. “There’s a lot of factors, some of it is lower birth rate, some of it is cost of living,” said Morales, who noted many of the school district’s parents were farmworkers. “There’s a possibility it is tougher immigration policy and anxiety about deportation.”

JAMSHID DAMOOEI

From 2008 to 2017 the number of annual deaths in Ventura County rose from 5,018 to 5,821 respectively, growing slightly each year. Meanwhile the annual number of births in the county dropped from 12,078 to 9,285 during the same period, declining slightly each year. One factor Morales ruled out was the Thomas Fire in 2017, which he said affected OSD staff who lived in Ventura more than students’ families in Oxnard. Morales said OSD would continue pursuing the master plan it approved in 2012, calling for two new schools, noting that many OSD students were still attending classes in portable structures and that a continued drop in enrollment would mean smaller class sizes. “So declining enrollment hasn’t altered that plan, it’s actually taking it closer to the finish line,” Morales said. Ventura Unified School District Asst. Superintendent of Business Services Betsy George attributed the enrollment decline to a broad demographic trend. “What we’re seeing is a declining birth rate, not just here but nationally,” George said. “People are waiting longer to have kids and having fewer kids.” George said that in 2018-19, VUSD has 459 fewer students than in 2017-18. She noted the only two schools in the district that gained students, Mound and Foothill schools, are open enrollment schools. “The entire county, state and country are experiencing lower birthrates — this is the primary reason for declining K-12 student population nationwide,” George said, noting that certain cities are hit harder than others. “When cost of living creates challenges for new families to establish themselves, K-12 student enrollment declines are slightly higher than the nationwide average decline,” George said. George noted that VUSD lost about 1,000 labor hours because of the Thomas Fire, but said that even before that, declining enrollment was having an effect. “It affects our allocation (of state funding) and impacts our budget,” George said, but added that VUSD is careful to maintain the same average class size. She said that VUSD doesn’t expect the trend to continue. “What we’re projecting is for the decline to flatten out, though not an increase,” said George. Prof. Jamshid Damooei, Director of the Center for Economics of Social Issues at California Lutheran University, corroborated George’s take on the reasons for declining enrollment. “What is happening is that our demographics are changing rapidly,” said Damooei, whose research center explores the economic effects of social trends on the community. “We have a reduction in the number of children, while the number of old people is going up,” Damooei said, citing a trend borne out by Ventura County’s recent birth and death rates. “If you look at a projection of population in Ventura County, the calculations we have done show that the 15-years-old and under age group will drop by nearly 13 percent by 2060,” Damooei said. “On the other hand, we’ve got this other age group, 85-years-old and over, that number in Ventura County by 2060 will increase by almost 300 percent,” Damooei continued. “So, what it means is that we will become a much older population, our kids’ numbers are going down, our older members’ numbers are going up,” Damooei said. “What this suggests is that we really have to think about how to take care of the elderly.” But although the population is generally moving toward becoming an older one nationally, some specific areas, like the one Rio School District serves, have demographics that buck the trend. “The reason is that not all zip codes are uniform, particularly Hispanics tend to be comparatively younger than the white population, you really need to put more resources in those areas,” Damooei said. “So, in some areas, enrollment is going up, in others it’s going down,” Damooei said. “It’s happening because we have different population structures in different places around the county.” Of a sampling of 10 school districts countywide (there are 20 districts in Ventura County), from Ojai to Port Hueneme, Santa Paula and Conejo Valley, only one district (Rio School District) showed growth from 2013-2014 to 2017-2018. ✦

PRIVATE SCHOOL PURGATORY

Holy Cross School at Ventura Mission faces uncertain future as enrollment shrinks by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

he future of Ventura’s private Holy Cross School is in the air, with all parties involved unsure of whether or not the school will close, change hands or continue on as is. In a letter to parents sent by The Rev. Thomas Elewaut, pastor of the attached San Buenaventura Mission and up until recently administrator of the Holy Cross School, Elewaut wrote that “over the past decade the viability of Holy Cross School has been in question” due to a decrease in enrollment. In 2017, the school touted 138 students, 2018 saw 119, and at the beginning of the 2019 school year, only 91 students were enrolled. In 2018, Elewaut relinquished administration of the school over to the Department of Catholic Schools, Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which established increased enrollment goals. The opposite occurred, however. “There is no one reason for this situation that has been evolving since the mid-2000s,” wrote Elewaut. “However, we do know for several years there has been a general decline in school enrollments at this end of the county.” Elewaut says that his hope is that the school will continue and that discussions are currently ongoing to transition Holy Cross School to St. Augustine Academy, a private Catholic school in Ventura County offering K-12 education. Elewaut says he hopes that this can be done by July

1, 2019. “It’s in dire straits and I don’t have the answer,” said Elewaut. “It’s emotional for everyone and it’s really difficult, but if you inform people that you’re looking at things they get upset and if you don’t tell people they get upset; it’s an emotional time.” Parents, teachers and students held a vigil on the evening of Friday, Feb. 1, at the school in support of the continuation of Holy Cross. Some have expressed confusion over the process and said that they are receiving mixed messages. “Parents are really confused and I know because I send them emails asking them to voice their concerns,” said Luz Cortez-Cahue, president of the Parent-Teacher Organization. “They just don’t understand, if we’re under the Arch Diocese, why is this decision being made by our pastor? It just doesn’t make sense to us.” With lingering uncertainty and no decision made as of yet, Elewaut ended his letter to parents and his follow-up bulletin, sent on Jan. 29, with a prayer. “This is a time of transition for us all,” wrote Elewaut. “Let us pray to keep focused on the formation of our students and ask the Lord Jesus to be with us in this time of transition and change.” Holy Cross School’s shrinking enrollment numbers year after year match the public school enrollment trend across Ventura County. ✦

Annual Young Comedians’ Show, Mad About You, Politically Incorrect and many others. She also created and filmed the one-woman show, Reclining Nude on La Cienega, produced by Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In producer George Schlatter. Now, Karam is coming to the Ventura Harbor Comedy Club next Thursday for a special Valentine’s Day show, opening for veteran comic John DiResta. “I talk about what’s personal, because personal is universal,” says Karam. “My friend describes me as blithe and incisive, happy but biting, and I apply that to family, social anxiety or experiences. And of course, the annoyances we all face every day going through life.” Karam frequently works with Saturday Night Live alum Dana Carvey as the opener for his standup appearances, but she already was used to working with comedy royalty from her 1993-94 stint as a cast member in a Carol Burnett variety show and her role in the classic Seinfeld episode “The Switch.” “That was really a lot of fun and it’s become a classic show that everybody knows as the menage a trois episode,” she laughs. “Uproxx voted me the No. 1 funniest girlfriend of all time for Jerry on the show. I had auditioned three times for three separate episodes, and I knew Larry and Jerry, so it was actually more nerve-wracking.” “I said to myself if I didn’t get it I wouldn’t audition for them again,” she adds. “I went to the movies and found out I got the part at midnight and had to be on the set at 9 a.m. The next thing I knew, Larry was telling me how to say the line ‘Hey, what a wild idea.’ ” ✦ Jann Karam performs with John DiResta on Thursday, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m. at the Ventura Harbor Comedy Club, 1559 Spinnaker Drive, Ventura.

n Saturday, the Majestic Ventura Theater hosted a night of heavy metal with headliner Last In Line, formed from the ashes of Dio and featuring drummer Vinny Appice, guitarist Vivian Campbell (both part of Dio’s original lineup), Phil Soussan (who has worked with Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol and Vince Neil) on bass and vocalist Andrew Freeman (of The Offspring and Lynch Mob). As an added bonus, the renowned rockers got a fast and loud assist from two homegrown favorites: Slug45 out of Thousand Oaks and Camarillo-based Fallen Saints.

FALLEN SAINTS

o say Marshall Crenshaw is a rock and roll enthusiast with a deep and broad appreciation of the genre is an understatement. Casual fans may remember the bespectacled singer-songwriter from his early-1980s earworms “Someday, Some Way” and “Whenever You’re On My Mind,” when he was in fairly regular rotation on MTV. Or for his cameo playing 1950s legend Buddy Holly in the 1987 biopic La Bamba. But the Michigan native’s passions have had him pop up in far more corners of the music industry. In addition to hosting The Bottomless Pit, a radio show that airs on New York’s WFUV 90.7 FM on Saturday nights and streams nationwide, he has maintained a healthy recording and touring career while occasionally being pulled into myriad musical projects. Not only did he pen the Golden Globe-nominated title track for the 2007 biopic spoof Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, he was hired to curate a collection of 1950s and 1960s country music (1990’s Hillbilly Music...Thank God, Vol. 1) and wrote a book about Hollywood’s rock music connection (Hollywood Rock: A Guide to Rock ’n’ Roll in the Movies). Currently in Crenshaw’s creative crosshairs are a documentary and musical tribute to Afri-

bad for a guy who got his start playing John Lennon in the late 1970s national touring company of Beatlemania. “I’m trying to make a documentary about a record producer named Tom Wilson. So I’m

working on that. Simultaneously with that, I just started working on a Live at Lincoln Center salute to Tom Wilson,” Crenshaw said. “We’ve already gotten yeses from a lot of great people. I’m not going to name any names, but that’s a thing that is really starting to take shape. I hope it doesn’t fall off the face of the earth, but the whole thing is looking pretty good.” The seeds for Crenshaw’s latter-day birth as a radio DJ were planted after appearing on a show hosted by Steve Earle on the late Air America. Later, a conversation with friend and Dictators frontman Handsome Dick Manitoba revealed the latter was about to take a job as a DJ on Little Steven’s Underground Garage channel on Sirius/XM. “When Handsome Dick said [he was getting a show], I found myself being a little envious,” said Crenshaw. “I thought I’d get myself a radio show and that was it. I started doing it. I knew somebody in my neighborhood that owned a radio station and I asked if I could go on the air. I was terrible, but I kept doing it until I got comfortable at it. . . . I look at it as being another kind of artistic exercise.” The Bottomless Pit (currently on hiatus while Crenshaw works on the Wilson documentary) is a self-described weekly roundup of items from Crenshaw’s personal record collection that numbers at about 3,000 records. With about 75 percent of it being material that he has a personal connection to, some of the sources date back to the music enthusiast’s childhood, including Bo Diddley’s 16 All-Time Greatest Hits and an extremely rare 45 of John Coltrane’s “My Favorite Things” on a blue and silver Atlantic Records label. It’s this kind of passion that flows through Crenshaw’s performances, whether he’s playing solo with nothing but his two guitars, a foot-stomp board and his imagination or teaming up with instrumental garage rockers Los Straitjackets or the Bottle Rockets. Currently, he’s touring as the guest vocalist for The Smithereens, performing tonight at the Canyon Club. “I never make up a set list. I just walk up there, start playing one song and then try to figure out what would go well afterwards. I just try to wing it and go with the spur of the moment,” he said. ✦

They Shall Not Grow Old begins with material unchanged from its archived form, in that herky-jerky monochrome. Through newspapers, silent movie houses and word of mouth, Great Britain learns of the war’s outbreak. Archived narration by the actual soldiers who fought and survived World War I explains that young British men, ages 19 to 35, “. . . did what we were told. So we went off to have a go at Jerry!” From basic training to deployment across the channel in France and Belgium, we follow the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force into the trenches. Suddenly the screen widens, and vivid colors burst forth so brilliantly, it’s as if they had been frozen in time: from the green of each blade of grass to the very eyes of each soldier, first smiling then frightened. No previous war had utilized tanks and mustard gas. What we see, in the tints and quality of a studio movie, is a blood-soaked horror these men could not have anticipated when they enlisted. The strike of every bullet seems as real as the day it happened. The men, in rat-infested trenches, fought more than the Germans — they dealt with disease, bad food and open latrines, all shown here in the unyielding light of history. One cannot get away from the omnipresent cigarettes and their smoke (which one veteran described as worse than “. . . stable droppings.”), and the terrible condition of these young men’s teeth. The men were issued one toothbrush apiece for the duration of the war, but it’s easy to see that they were used for tasks other than oral hygiene. They Shall Not Grow Old is a centennial tribute to the nearly 1 million Brits who perished between 1914 and 1918. Peter Jackson dedicated the film to them, and to his grandfather, who survived Gallipoli, one of the war’s worst slaughters. Jackson has brought the visages of these men, gone for a century, to sharp, spectacular, jawdropping life. I have written previously that purists take a dim view of colorization. They do. But even they would gasp in awe at what Peter Jackson has accomplished. It’s a technological and emotionally moving feat. ♦

start of the bloodshed and atrocity to come. Four years ago, director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) was approached by the Imperial War Museum to take its vast archive and make a documentary about the war. What Jackson has culled and created from this celluloid history is one of the most magnificent achievements in film to date. Those are the basics to know about They Shall Not Grow Old. Working from his state-of-the art, special effects company in Wellington, New Zealand, Jackson restored hundred-year-old footage that had aged, faded white, gone black and had its sprockets shrunken by time. Frame by frame, his team corrected the speed of the film, which previously had given everything photographed that oldtime, fast-motion appearance. Using modern software, Jackson was able to expand the field of each sequence, zoom in and pan through the frames. Each detail, from flies to smoke-streaked skies, emerged. The sound of every voice, tin can, shaving razor, rain drop, bomb blast and bullet is meticulously dubbed in.

The ambiance is simple: walls painted in peach/pink, hints of Japanese artistry hung around and a modest sushi bar. We really didn’t know what to expect but when a father and young daughter strolled in as if they were regulars, we thought, maybe there is something special to this place. After our drive, I had become rather famished. When I saw the prices on the menu, I ordered three dishes for myself and figured I would eat some of my companion’s as well — he ordered the lunch box and Yasubay sashimi plate. I added a Diet Coke to my order, for good measure. www.brophybros.com Without much delay, out came my order. First, the tofu agedashi.

and sitting in a vinegary concoction with green onions. It went down easily and quickly. “It was phenomenal,” my companion said. Next out, the house special noodle plate. Right off the griddle, the glass noodles were hot on the tongue, but saturated with soy sauce — maybe a combination of flavors. It came with freshly prepared and cooked sliced cabbage, julienned carrots and pieces of broccoli. I am not a fan of using the word perfect to describe food, but the preparation was just that. The vegetables even maintained their crispness along with the noodles being soft but not mushy. It was a full meal in itself for $6. The mango and avocado salad featured fine strips of cucumber atop a bed of lettuce sprinkled with black sesame seeds and rice vinegar; it was all so fresh. We just kept wondering how we didn’t know about this place sooner. Out came the real test, the Yasubay sashimi plate with thick cuts of bite-size salmon, ahi and albacore. It’s truly hard to explain the taste of fish, but we could have sworn they were just caught in the last day or so. I don’t know how this was mastered, but we gobbled that up just as quickly as the tofu. On the side was freshly minced spicy tuna with a teriyaki sauce drizzled on top, sprinkled lightly with sesame seeds and seaweed flakes, resting on a bed of sticky white rice. We both agreed that was some of the best spicy tuna we had tried in a long time. I got one bite… Next out, the lunch box meal with thick strips of well-done teriyaki beef, along with the standard but crispy tempura vegetables, California rolls and rice. The preparation was unquestionably handled with care by someone who takes pride in the work. We stuffed ourselves plenty, still had leftovers, but did I mention the miso? That was served right off the bat and proved to be a welcome, warm and comforting familiar dish. Too often people are focused on what is new and shiny and overwhelmingly busy. There are some truly wonderful restaurants with great service and food that are just off the beaten path. After discovering the treasure that is Yasubay, I look forward to finding more gems hidden in the midst of otherwise unremarkable locations. ♦

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2033 MISTRAL PL., OXNARD, CA 93035 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

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.

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 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.

I’

m seeing so many women on Instagram who’ve had themselves made over to be super hot through cosmetic surgery and injectable fillers. They all have the same face — with big, luscious lips and huge doll-like eyes. In every shot, they’re in full makeup — crazy eyeliner, tons of contouring. Do guys actually like this plastic Barbie look? Are guys cool with cosmetic surgery in general? —Curious If only these women of Instagram were honest in their photo credits: “Hair by Luigi. Makeup by Annabelle. Face by Dow Corning.” Countless men insist that they prefer “the natural look” — no makeup

by amy alkon (let alone surgical re-mod) — yet they never go “Wow ... gorgeous!” when you sashay toward them with a face full of unconcealed pimples. Helpfully, zoologist John R. Krebs and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explain that “living organisms” can easily be tricked by crude fakes — fakes that bear only the itsy-bitsiest resemblance to the organisms’ real life stimuli. They give the example of what I call “Popsicle birdie” — how “a blackheaded gull will show its normal aggressive response to a stuffed gull’s head mounted on a stick, with no body.” And then there’s the male stickleback fish, which gets red on the underside when in mating mode and will attack any other red-bellied male that enters its territory. In fact, mail also seems to be a problem — which is to say, a researcher’s male sticklebacks were observed attacking the side of their aquarium when a red mail van passed by the window of the lab. Well, guess what, fellow humans: We shouldn’t be too quick to feel superior to our friends with beaks, gills, and tails. Krebs and Dawkins note that a man can get “sexually aroused” by a mere photo of a naked woman. Of course, he knows it isn’t an actual woman, but the photo “has enough

visual stimuli in common with the real thing to have a similar effect on his physiology.” Though it’s unlikely that women getting their faces remade in Klonedashian-esque ways are versed in anthropology, the enhancements they’re having done align with the female facial features that anthropologists like Douglas Jones have found are attractive to men across cultures. These are “neotenous” features — meaning somewhat babylike ones — like big eyes, full lips, a small jaw and chin, and clear skin. These

tally, he may take a step back: “Oh, wait — she’s gotten all this work done.” And beyond how we all tend to feel threatened and even angered by fakery, many men see a woman’s extensive re-mod as a red flag, reflecting less-than-healthy psychology — an empty interior hidden behind a fancy paint job and a new, um, deck. Also, consider that women who get their faces and bodies remade often seem to go by the reality TV standard, which seems to stem from stripper standards — exaggerated inyour-face sexuality. Research by Cari Goetz that I cited in a recent column finds that women with an overtly sexual look are generally not seen as long-term mating material by men. Though that research explored what wo m e n wo re — scanty attire — it’s possible that women who wear a pile of makeup, with an overtly sexual look, would trigger the same reaction in men: basically, thumbs-up for a hookup or regular sex sessions — not so much on introducing Mom to a woman who looks as if her work uniform is sequin nipple tassels. However, there’s a counterpoint to all of this. Consider that it’s now possible, through medical innovation, to survive many diseases and

Many men see a woman’s extensive re-mod as a red flag, reflecting less-than-healthy psychology — an empty interior hidden behind a fancy paint job and a new, um, deck. features are basically evolution’s billboard, advertising a highly desirable interior — meaning that they are cues to health and fertility. (Of course, men just think HAWWWT.) However, though men evolved to prioritize looks in a woman, it’s obviously not all they value — especially when they’re hoping to get into a relationship. So these cosmetically and surgically redeveloped features may catch a man’s eye — but then, men-

conditions that were usually fatal. We don’t expect people with diseases to do what’s “natural” — suffer terribly and die. Maybe we’re a little too harsh on women who jump ahead in the beauty hierarchy through cosmetic procedures. (After all, we don’t knock men for using Rogaine, those little blue pills, or deodorant.) Additionally, maybe stigmatizing any sort of line-jumping stops discussion of the need for restraint in beauty-upgrading. As I see it, the most successful “work” is the sort we don’t notice — women who look like themselves, only, uh, “better rested” or something. Ultimately, if a woman invites a man to meet her closest relatives, he isn’t at a loss for whether she’s asking him to a family reunion or to hit the aisle in Home Depot where they sell that expandable foam insulation stuff that people spray into their walls. ♦ (c)2019, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

Climbing mountains has been a popular adventure since the nineteenth century, but there are still many peaks around the world that no one has ever ascended. They include the 24,591-fot-high Muchu Chhish in Pakistan, 23,691-foot Karjiang South in Tibet, and 12,600-foot Sauyr Zhotasy on the border of China and Kazakhstan. If there are any Aries mountaineers reading this horoscope who have been dreaming about conquering an unclimbed peak, 2019 will be a great time to do it, and now would be a perfect moment to plan or launch your quest. As for the rest of you Aries, what’s your personal equivalent of reaching the top of an unclimbed peak?

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” was a featured track in the movie 8 Mile, and it won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003. The creator himself was not present at the Oscar ceremony to accept his award, however. He was so convinced his song would lose that he stayed home. At the moment that presenter Barbra Streisand announced Eminem’s triumph, he was asleep in front of the TV with his daughter, who was watching cartoons. In contrast to him, I hope you will be fully available and on the scene for the recognition or acknowledgment that should be coming your way sometime soon.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

While enjoying its leisure time, the peregrine falcon glides around at 50 miles per hour. But when it’s motivated by the desire to eat, it may swoop and dart at a velocity of 220 miles per hour. Amazing! In accordance with your astrological omens, Gemini, I propose that we make the peregrine falcon your spirit creature for the next three weeks. I suspect you will have extraordinary speed and agility and focus whenever you’re hunting for exactly what you

want. So here’s a crucial question: what exactly do you want?

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Now and then the sun shines and rain falls at the same time. The meteorological name for the phenomenon is “sunshower,” but folklore provides other terms. Hawaiians may call it “liquid sunshine” or “ghost rain.” Speakers of the Tangkhul language in India imagine it as “the wedding of a human and spirit.” Some Russians refer to it as “mushroom rain,” since it’s thought to encourage the growth of mushrooms. Whatever you might prefer to call it, Cancerian, I suspect that the foreseeable future will bring you delightful paradoxes in a similar vein. And in my opinion, that will be very lucky for you, since you’ll be in the right frame of mind and spirit to thrive amidst just such situations.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

A study by the Fidelity financial services company revealed that in 43 percent of all couples, neither partner has an accurate knowledge of how much money the other partner earns. Meanwhile, research by the National Institute of Health concludes that among heterosexual couples, 36 percent of husbands misperceive how frequently their wives have orgasms. I bring this to your attention in order to sharpen your focus on how crucial it is to communicate clearly with your closest allies. I mean, it’s rarely a good idea to be ignorant about what’s going on with those close to you, but it’ll be an especially bad idea during the next six weeks.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Torre Mayor is one of the tallest skyscrapers in Mexico City. When workers finished its construction in 2003, it was one of the world’s most earthquakeproof buildings, designed to hold steady during an

8.5-level temblor. Over the course of 2019, Virgo, I’d love to see you erect the metaphorical equivalent of that unshakable structure in your own life. The astrological omens suggest that doing so is quite possible. And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to launch that project or intensify your efforts to manifest it.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Multitalented Libran singer and actor Donald Glover uses the name of Childish Gambino when he performs his music. How did he select that alias? He used an online random name generator created by the rap group Wu-Tang Clan. I tried the same generator and got “Fearless Warlock” as my new moniker. You might want to try it yourself, Libra. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to add layers to your identity and expand your persona and mutate your self-image. The generator is here: tinyurl.com/ yournewname. (P.S.: If you don’t like the first one you’re offered, keep trying until you get one you like.)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Leonardo da Vinci’s painting Salvator Mundi sold for $450 million in 2017. Just twelve years earlier, an art collector had bought it for $10,000. Why did its value increase so extravagantly? Because in 2005, no one was sure it was an authentic da Vinci painting. It was damaged and had been covered with other layers of paint that hid the original image. After extensive efforts at restoration, the truth about it emerged. I foresee the possibility of a comparable, if less dramatic, development in your life during the next ten months, Scorpio. Your work to rehabilitate or renovate an underestimated resource could bring big dividends.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

We can behold colors because of specialized cells in our eyes called cones. Most of us have three types of cones, but a few rare people have four. This enables them to see far more hues than the rest of us. Are you a tetrachromat, a person with super-vision? Whether you are or not, I suspect you will have extra powerful perceptual capacities in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be able to see more than you usually do. The world will seem brighter and deeper and more vivid. I urge you to deploy your temporary superpower to maximum advantage.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

There are two kinds of minor, boring little tasks. One is when you’re attending to a detail that’s not in service to a higher purpose; the other is when you’re attending to a detail that is a crucial step in the process of fulfilling an important goal. An example of the first might be when you try in vain to scour a permanent stain on a part of the kitchen counter that no one ever sees. An example of the second is when you download an update for an existing piece of software so your computer works better and you can raise your efficiency levels as you pursue a pet project. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to keep this distinction in mind as you focus on the minor, boring little tasks that are crucial steps in the process of eventually fulfilling an important goal.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Can you sit on your own head? Not many people can. It requires great flexibility. Before comedian Robin Williams was famous, he spontaneously did just that when he auditioned for the role of the extraterrestrial immigrant Mork, the hero of the TV sitcom Mork and Mindy. The casting director was impressed with Williams’ odd but amusing gesture,

and hired him immediately. If you’re presented with an opportunity sometime soon, I encourage you to be inspired by the comedian’s ingenuity. What might you do to cinch your audition, to make a splashy first impression, to convince interested parties that you’re the right person?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Twitter wit Notorious Debi Hope advises us, “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low selfesteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assho—s.” That’s wise counsel for you to keep in mind during the next three weeks. Let me add a few corollaries. First, stave off any temptation you might have to believe that others know what’s good for you better than you do. Second, figure out what everyone thinks of you and aggressively liberate yourself from their opinions. Third, if anyone even hints at not giving you the respect you deserve, banish them for at least three weeks. Homework: What is the best gift you could give your best ally right now?
