OPINION Editorial

The national emergency swings both ways I

t’s hard to believe that President Donald Trump is really concerned about undocumented immigrants in this country or those coming to it seeking refuge with his national emergency declaration of a border crisis. The man is a clear opportunist seeking approval from his loyal constituents while the perception of fully, even blindly, dedicated to getting his way regardless of the cost. But as long as there is a clear and present enemy to contend with, Trump will always have backers. The hypocrisy, however, is when headlines such as this Feb. 19 article from The Hill continue to make waves: “More than 100 undocumented immigrants worked at Trump’s Bedminster resort during construction: report.” There is serious dysfunctionality in our society in perpetuating longterm, often hostile living conditions for those who are abiding illegally in the United States. Not only do these immigrants live under constant threat of deportation but they are also underpaid for all sorts of jobs, from agriculture to the service industry and more. According to the Center for Immigration studies, in an August 2018 report “There Are No Jobs Americans Won’t Do,” undocumented immigrants “work mostly in construction, cleaning, maintenance, food service, garment manufacturing, and agricultural occupations. However, the majority of workers even in these areas are either native-born or legal immigrants.” While the Center argues that the aforementioned industries are not dominated by illegal workers, the percentages are as follows, with the remaining not legal to work in the U.S.: Maids and housekeepers: 51 percent native-born (U.S. citizens) Taxi drivers and chauffeurs: 54 percent native-born Butchers and meat processors: 64 percent native-born Grounds maintenance workers: 66 percent native-born Construction laborers: 65 percent nativeborn Janitors: 73 percent native-born Surely, many employers in these industries have become accustomed to hiring at lower wages than what the living costs call for, which has an exponential impact

Letters

Government is not trusted The selection of Donald Trump, president of the United States of America, initiated a new era of lies. It is estimated Trump tells 20 or more lies and misleading statements on a daily basis.

on legal residents and their ability to work in the same industries and get paid a living wage. Understandably, for many undocumented immigrants, living conditions here, even with a multiple families living in the same house to cover rent, are better than what they faced at home. But for the standards Americans have become accustomed to, it perpetuates an unhealthy lifestyle. It’s easy to reason why this country has become polarized in its view of undocumented immigrants. With that in mind, however, immigrants do some seriously back-breaking work for very little in the agricultural fields of Ventura County. The reality is not necessarily that ag work keeps costs low at the grocery store, but rather that there is food available at all, given that very few citizens would go into that work. With Trump’s alarmist approach to undocumented immigrants, we are in fact in a farm labor shortage: CalAgJobs, which connects farm businesses with employees, reported in July 2018 that there are two jobs available in agriculture for every job seeker across the nation, and in California, there are four jobs open for every applicant. At the border itself, with the U.S. now hostile to illegal immigration, there are reports of stranded South American immigrants stuck in Tijuana after being turned away or deported by U.S. officials. Further, there are reports of sexual misconduct on foreign children taken from their parents at the border. It’s a wonder any foreigner would still be trying to make their way to the U.S. illegally at this time. On Feb. 26, House Democrats passed a measure to overturn the national emergency declaration though fell short of the two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto. U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, discussed the legality of the national emergency declaration. But in reality, there are always ways to get around a wall and $5 billion to build it is a waste of taxpayer dollars — and the cost of the three week government shutdown to negotiate money for the wall cost exponentially more, estimated in the tens of billions in lost business, affecting more than just government employee checks. It’s time for the president to focus on how to Make America Great Again, and a wall was never a part of America’s past to greatness.

In my memory, as an 85 year old, I have never known a time when lying out of the mouths of politicians and important people has been so prevalent. It is impossible for a Democratic form of government to operate efficiently when government is not trusted. In our case, the individual at the head of our government is a prolific liar who cannot be counted on. Donald Trump has made a career of falsehoods and of misleading state-

ments. His policy of lies has spread to every area of government and to every important issue we face. Furthermore, no shame seems to accompany false pronouncements. I think we can put a stop to it through effective, impressionable and forcible legislation. We should enact a law, embarrassing as it is, to make it a crime for any elected official or government official to lie or to mislead the public with severe consequences to be paid by violators. This should be implemented at the local and federal levels as well. I suggest that mandatory jail sentences and fines of one year and $100,000 be imposed on anyone whose statements have an effect on the lives of American citizens and American residents. Individuals running for public offices should be required to sign an affidavit affirming that they will not only “defend and protect” the Constitution of the United States but will advocate or tell no like with respect to his or her official statements. A new government department: The Fact Finding Department should be enacted and staffed to ensure that truth be insured in our political life. I know there will be severe opposition by those whose careers will be impacted by this legislation. However, the culture of lies must be terminated and the only way to take this matter into our hands effectively is to legislate it. Miguel Espinosa, Jr. Oxnard

news In Brief FORMER SIMI RESIDENT RECEIVES $21 MILLION FOR WRONGFUL INCARCERATION

Craig Coley, 71, will receive a $21 million settlement from Simi Valley for his wrongful incarceration of the 1978 murders of a mother, 24, and her 4-year-old son. Coley was released in 2017 after he was pardoned by then-Gov. Jerry Brown. The city will pay $4.9 million while insurance and other sources will cover the rest. California will also pay $1.95 million, $140 per day he was wrongfully imprisoned — the largest payout through the Victim Compensation board. Retired Simi Valley detective Mike Bender played a pivotal role in shedding light on Coley’s innocence, reexamining the case which led to Coley’s exoneration. The key element, DNA associated with the crime, did not match Coley.

OXNARD OPPOSES OFFSHORE DRILLING, GUN SHOWS

Volunteers unloaded bunk beds on Monday, Feb. 25, at the Temporary Emergency Shelter, an upgrade from the previously used air mattresses.

Homeless refuge Oxnard switches winter warming shelter to 24-hour until mid-May by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

n the midst of a cold and wet winter in Southern California, the need for a warm place to sleep is ever present among the county’s homeless population. In Oxnard, a welcome change has come as a formerly night-only emergency shelter has transitioned to 24 hours, providing stability for newcomers and regulars alike, until the end of the season at least. Temporary Emergency Shelters, one located in Oxnard and the other in Ventura, have been operated regularly over the years with the National Guard armories leased for the purpose as both cities work toward the ultimate goal of opening permanent shelters. In 2018, the National Guard consolidated its armories within the state and in January vacated the Oxnard location, giving the city the opportunity to offer more in the way of shelter and services. One such way life has become somewhat easier for overnight guests came via a donation of 100 bunk beds courtesy of the City of Port Hueneme. The city reached out to its local cannabis dispensaries for donations toward $35,000 needed to purchase the beds. Port Hueneme’s Community Benefit Fund donated $10,000, Skunkmasters, the city’s first legal cannabis dispensary, donated $17,500, and SafePort, Emerald Perspective, Hueneme Patient Collective and TradeCraft Ventures made up the rest. With assistance from the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, the beds were assembled on Monday, Feb. 25. The Oxnard shelter is currently equipped to handle 110 individuals, whom, up until recently, were sleeping on air mattresses. Prior to transitioning to 24-hour, the shelter had to vacate the premises daily by 7 a.m., meaning early wake up calls and a scramble to clean up before the National Guard employees arrived for the day. Another meaningful change: Guests are now allowed to bring their pets, often a barrier for homeless individuals for whom a pet can be the closest thing to family they have. The shelter now has an area where guests can stay overnight with their dogs,

bathe them if needed and receive services and licensing via Ventura County Animal Services. Karl Lawson, Fair Housing officer with the City of Oxnard, says that while both Oxnard and Ventura are committed to the goal of a permanent, year-round shelter, the city is taking advantage of having the armory building all day during the winter months. “People are a lot less stressed when they don’t have to spend the day in the street; I can see the difference, I’ve been working it for years,” said Lawson. Lawson says that beyond the ability to sleep-in, caseworkers and healthcare agencies have an easier job working with the guests in one location. Allowing agencies and nonprofits access to individuals in a safe environment makes a big difference, says Lawson. “When you have access to be able to reach them during the day not with a clip board on the street but sitting down and going through their situation, it really can help a make a long-term impact on helping people move out of homelessness,” said Lawson. But the shelter’s lifespan is in the name: temporary. As with previous iterations of the jointcity operated shelters, the length of time the doors can remain open depends on funding. One third of the shelter’s funding comes from each of the cities of Ventura and Oxnard, the other third from the County of Ventura. This year’s fund totals just under $600,000, according to Lawson, adding that this should allow the shelter to operate through mid-May. Mark Alvarado, Oxnard’s Homeless Program Coordinator, says that the city is working hard to find a permanent location. “At this point in time, we haven’t identified a permanent facility but we’re working very hard to make that happen,” said Alvarado. “It’s not an easy task because of the permitting involved and pricing and there being a lot of different moving parts to this operation.” Alvarado says that the city has identified several locations that could work for a permanent shelter

A resolution supporting a ban on new offshore drilling and fracking was passed by the Oxnard City Council on Wednesday, Feb. 20. The City Council also showed its support for a ban on future gun shows at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. By a 6-1 vote, the City Council adopted the resolution that supports the eventual transition to renewable projects. City Councilman Bert Perello was the lone dissenter. “We have a chance to send the message that we want to protect our oceans and coastal communities,” said City Councilwoman Carmen Ramirez. “We’re asking the Trump administration to turn away from dirty industries that are hurting us all.” The City Council also passed a resolution to draft a letter in opposition to future gun shows at the Ventura County Fairgrounds by a 5-2 vote, with Councilmembers Bryan MacDonald and Mayor Tim Flynn opposed. MacDonald cited the Oklahoma City Bombing in his opposition, noting that he is “fearful” of taking away individual rights.

VENTURA COUNTY WORST FOR CAR REPAIR, REPORT CLAIMS

A new report out by San Francisco-based tech company RepairPal lists the Thousand Oaks, Oxnard and Ventura area as being one of the worst locations in America for car repairs. Taking into account mechanics per capita, labor rates, road conditions and repair bills, the report claims to assist car owners in what to expect to pay for regular maintenance. The report claims that the Oxnard metro area, which is a fancy term for Ventura County, has the highest repair bill average in the country at $731, third worst behind San Jose and Honolulu, Hawaii. “While the area has a good number of repair shops, those facilities have a comparatively small number of employees, meaning you might wait longer than average to get in or get out of the shop,” reads the report. “And the notoriously bad roads in California’s big cities mean these drivers may need repairs more often.” To read the report in full, visit www.repairpal.com/blog/best-worst-metros-carrepair-study-2019.

DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR OXNARD CITIZENS ADVISORY GROUP APPLICATIONS

Have some advice for how the city of Oxnard can change for the better? Then toss your hat into consideration for a spot on the Citizens Advisory Board, accepting applications now through March 15. Residents can apply for the new term beginning in April. Oxnard residents who serve on these Citizen Advisory Groups bring recommendations to the City Council and staff on community issues and concerns, as well as reinforcing what’s positive in the city. “Citizen Advisory Group volunteers can really serve as a catalyst for change in the community,” said City Clerk Michelle Ascencion. “They provide the citizen perspective to the city staff and Council on upcoming initiatives, giving the entire community a voice in the decision-making process.” There are nine such groups, ranging from the Citizens Advisory Board to the Senior Services Commission. Residents can submit an application with a supplemental questionnaire, available on the city’s website at www.Oxnard.org or at the City Clerk’s office at 300 W. Third St., fourth Floor, by March 15 to be considered. For more information on the groups, visit www.oxnard.org/city- department/city-clerk/citizen-advisory-groups/.

CAMARILLO ADOPTS DISTRICT-BASED ELECTIONS

Gone are the days of the Wild West when it comes to citywide elections in Camarillo, replaced with district-based elections. The city of Camarillo, following other Ventura County cities such as Ventura and Oxnard, which adopted districts in 2017, will also make the transition. Several public hearings have been scheduled on the transition, with the first having been held on Wednesday, Feb. 27, the next, Wednesday, March 27. On March 5, the Oxnard City Council will discuss whether or not to increase each advisory board to seven members total to reflect the newly adopted seven districts. The public hearings will be located at City Hall, Council Chambers, 601 Carmen Drive, Camarillo. For more information, visit www.cityofcamarillo.org/ districtelections. — Chris O’Neal

Who’s on First?

Born to bounce Trampoline class provides full body workout by Kateri Wozny

ike most people who make their New Year’s Resolutions to focus on health and exercising more, I had been looking for a fun and unique cardio exercise to start the year off right. When I came across the Boogie Bounce trampoline class at Studio 8 Fitness in Ventura, I knew this was something I couldn’t pass up. As I recall, I was a kid the last time I bounced on a trampoline. Boogie Bounce was founded in 1996 by Jenny Belcher, who resides in the Midlands in England. Classes are currently available in 13 countries. Coincidentally, Belcher was in town to teach instructor training to Studio 8 Fitness owners Lauren Boross and Sarah Houseman, and I knew I couldn’t miss the opportunity to have a class taught from the master herself. “Sarah and I saw it [at Fix Expo in Los Angeles] last January and we knew we had to do this, we are completely obsessed,” Boross said. Boogie Bounce is suitable for all ages, shapes and sizes, is held five times a week for 45 min-

utes and is performed on a mini trampoline with T-bar handles. The program consists of a high intensity interval training (HIIT) cardio section to burn fat, followed by a toning section that works the butt, stomach and thighs. Believe me, I felt it. Belcher said that every muscle in the body is worked, including facial muscles. Oh, and there is new choreography every eight weeks, so it’s not always the same routine. “We’re spreading the bouncing love,” Belcher said. “It’s really a gym on legs and a one-stop gym. It’s the ultimate in getting fit.” Out of all the fitness instructors I’ve ever had, Belcher had the most energy, encouragement and positivity. Her cheers and the class cheers encouraged me to do even better as we did moves such as stomping, frogging and even the spread eagle into the air.

down.” Even the people at NASA say that bouncing is “the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man.” Studies by NASA scientists show that bouncing around on a mini trampoline is 68 percent more effective than jogging and requires less effort. Belcher told me that depending on how hard a person works out, a person can burn anywhere from 300 to 800 calories. Woah! There are health benefits to trampolining as well, including increased metabolism, calorie

burn and weight loss, cellulite reduction, relieving stress and improving the lymphatic system. “You feel like a kid again,” Belcher said. “You were born to bounce and we are trying to teach the world to bounce in perfect harmony.” As the saying goes, I got a bounce in my step. ✦ Studio 8 Fitness is located at 1744 E.

Eye on the Environment

Commemorate the oil spill by conserving by David Goldstein

ast month marked the 50th anniversary of the Santa Barbara Oil Spill, the third largest in United States history, when a blow-out on an offshore oil platform fouled the coast from Ventura to Goleta, killing thousands of sea birds, dolphins, seals and other marine life. Those who responded to memories of this environmental tragedy by advocating for less future drilling along our coasts may also be interested in ways we can reduce our consumption of petroleum, the driving force behind efforts to drill for more. Drive less: The Ventura County Transportation Commission website, www.goventura.org, has trip planners you can use to plan car-free journeys, along with information about local travel by bus, train and bicycle. Drive smarter: Stay aerodynamic — removing a roof-top cargo box can save as much as 20 percent on fuel, according to the website of nonprofit Money Advice Service. Drive slower — although top gears are more efficient than low gears, once you get to top gear, adding speed greatly reduces efficiency. Driving 60 mph instead of 70 mph on a 20-mile highway commute saves “about 1.3 gallons of gas in a five-day work week,” according to the AAA website. Other driving advice includes regular maintenance, keeping tires properly inflated, using “eco” mode, and reducing braking and acceleration by leaving sufficient space between yourself and the car ahead.

Change oil as needed: Google “3,000 mile myth” and read some of the over 2 million responses, most disputing the common misconception regarding the need to change every car’s oil at least every 3,000 miles. Ted Harvey, Service Manager of Meineke Car Care in Oxnard, urges consumers to follow the schedule in a car’s owner’s manual instead. Use a real mechanic: For oil changes, go to a service station that recycles used oil, not to someone who offers to change your oil for you but might dump it. According a 2000 report by San Francisco State University (available on the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery website), over 50 percent of illegally disposed oil is dumped by people who do not have an official oil changing business, but change oil for others outside their own household. Alternatives to crude oil: 42 gallons of crude oil make only half a gallon of auto lubricant oil, but 42 gallons of recycled oil make 34 gallons of lubricant, according to the website of Nexlube, a re-refinery. In Ventura County, SC Fuels distributes the Castrol Eco brand, and Silvas Petroleum distributes Roundtrip, made in Los Angeles by Lubricating Specialties Corporation. Oil does not wear out; it just gets dirty. Re-refining recycled oil and replenishing additives makes it as good as oil made from crude. Although 18 service stations in Ventura County offered re-refined oil 15 years ago, none do today. When the price of crude oil rises, you may be able to ask again for re-refined.

Synthetic oil is another option. Although requiring petroleum for production, synthetic oil can make an engine operate more efficiently and lasts about three times longer than conventional oil, according to the website of Advance Auto Parts. Recycle right: Recycling saves resources, conserving fossil fuels both through material recovery and through reducing energy consumption in manufacturing processes. Full instructions would require a separate article, but here are a few tips you may have overlooked. Keep the lid on when recycling plastic bottles; bottles and lids go through grinders at recycling factories, and a sink/float tank separates the two types of plastic. Scraping or rinsing is not necessary for most containers but is helpful for removal of contents like peanut butter and mayonnaise. There is a difference of opinion regarding bottles that contained motor oil or antifreeze, but since draining every drop is so hard, it’s better to leave them out of recycling. Removing a bottle’s label can also be helpful but is not required. The big picture of conservation is made from the many details of individual actions.

Once the shelter opens, it will be operated by the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Mercy House, which operates shelters nationwide, said Alvarado. While searching for a manufacturer of bunk beds, Mercy House recommended Tennessee-based American Bedding, which the city of Port Hueneme ultimately purchased the beds from. There are two private yearround shelters in Oxnard: the Ventura County Rescue Mission and the Lighthouse for Women and Children both operate yearly with services available as well. Meanwhile, the city of Ventura, which approved of a full-time, year-round shelter in the city in 2018, is in the planning stages of opening its shelter after having selected a location. Alvarado says that the Oxnard shelter is currently operating at full capacity.

SENIOR CHALLENGE Local experts, senior expo focused on raising quality of life in the golden years

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

Patricia and George Jones of Home Helpers Home Care; Patricia is the President and Co-Owner and George is the CEO and Co-Owner.

t 65 years old, after working as a stay-at-home mom raising three children and building a marriage of 44 years, Nina Sloan Rubin of Ventura went into business for herself for the first time, to stay busy and sustain her happiness as she continues to thrive in her golden years.

Today, the native of Queens, New York, with six grandchildren is the chapter director of a national women’s friendship group called the Blue Thong Society and the co-owner of her husband’s art business. She also works from home as a social marketer for a “live clean” company. She believes the biggest misconception about the senior population is “that we are old,” but the truth is “you are only as old as you feel . . . I feel younger than I did decades ago.” Her current business endeavors are part of her goal toward “being financially set for the golden years, and staying healthy to enjoy them. My advice is, do not stop living just because the calendar says you are a senior. Keep moving, eating healthfully, meet with a good financial person to understand your options.” Additionally, as the owner of two rescued mixed-breed terriers: “Be a parent of a fur baby. We all need unconditional love.” Rubin is but one shining example of older adults in Ventura County who are thriving. Craig Zobelein, for instance, pursued seven careers after he retired as a Hughes aerospace engineer. A resident of University Village in Thousand Oaks, Zobelein is one of several seniors featured in the book, A Village of Knowledge, in which Simi Valley author Virginia Gean highlights their lives. “After a prolific career as an astrospace engineer at Hughes with a lunar surveyor that still is on the moon today resting, he retired at age 40 and proceeded to have seven additional careers such as teaching, working as a park ranger, CEO of a family business, private detective, dancing and composing music,” Gean said of Zobelein during a book signing in December at University Village, a retirement community, where several people featured in her book were in attendance to answer questions from the audience. Gean noted that one of “the most profound” things Zobelein mentioned during her interview with him for the book was: “He knew at age 10 that he did not want any debt, no mortgage, no credit cards, by the time he would be 40 years old.” “I was amazed at his finance acumen at such a young age,” Gean said. “He went on to explain by having no debt at age 40, he then could create a life full of careers that he could do without worrying about the debt, and how he’s going . . . to pursue his passions.” Zobelein told the audience, “All of these careers that I had, I didn’t set

out to be a successful management person at all. That wasn’t the plan in my life. I did want to be debt-free at 40 years old, which I accomplished. I was fortunate because . . . I had a tight-wad for a father. But he was wonderful in making me realize the meaning of life and what’s important.” Zobelein emphasized that “you don’t go into your careers just for money, that’s not the point. You have something inside of you that you want to release.” In his case, “I was just excited, curious about the world and what it had to offer. That’s one of the reasons why I had so many diverse careers.” With every single career, “I left at my own accord to achieve something new, something different that I was curious about. I encourage all of you, at any age . . . It’s really important to listen to your curiosity and head for it, because that’s really what it’s all about.” The aging population of Ventura County is expected to triple over the next 20 years, said Patricia Jones of Thousand Oaks, co-owner of Home Helpers Home Care along with her husband, George. For more than a decade, the couple has helped more than 800 families with many conditions, including dementia, Alzheimer’s, kidney failure, liver disease, arthritis, Parkinson’s and heart disease. They also help quadriplegics, stroke victims, cancer victims and fall victims. “Getting prepared ahead of time will make the elder care process easier to navigate,” Jones said. “Don’t wait until a crisis happens to address the issue.”

“ADD YEARS LIVED TO YOUR LIFE”

The biggest factor in the decline in physical capacity with age is the level of physical activity; and although many physiological factors decline with age, up to 50 percent of this decline is due to de-conditioning rather than aging, said Dr. Annthea Fenwick, former exercise physiologist and health educator at the County of Ventura, and a former exercise physiologist at the Pierpont Racquet Club in Ventura. She noted that after the age of 50, statistically, one has a better survival rate from cancer than a fall. “Most people would choose a fall over cancer if they had to make that horrendous choice, but statistics and research say a person is more likely to not survive the fall rather than cancer,” said Fenwick, CEO and cofounder of Achieving Fitness After 50. “This statistic is shocking,” Dr. Fenwick emphasized. “Surviving a fall is primarily a strength factor. The stronger you are, the better your bal-

ance, coordination, and thereby minimizing major injury.” Unfortunately, she said, exercising and being strong has decreased in the over-50 population. “Ninety-nine percent of ages 50-plus say that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important. But only 16 percent of them actually utilize fitness and exercise.” The good news is that getting stronger and having a responsible strength-training program, individual and specific to your needs, “will literally add years lived to your life.” “We can’t necessarily or always avoid cancer, but we can absolutely affect the chances of a fall,” said Dr. Fenwick, adding that the muscles of older men and women who have exercised for decades are indistinguishable in many ways from those of healthy 25-year-olds. She added that “we can’t begin to change until we admit we, and no one but us, can control the quality of our own lives.” “The calculus of aging offers us two options: We can live a shorter life with more years of disability, or we can live the longest possible life with the fewest bad years,” Dr. Fenwick said. “As centenarians have shown, the choice is largely up to us. Learn how to lift weights, make healthy choices for your nutrition, engage DR. ANNTHEA FENWICK your mind, incorporate daily stretches and have an attitude of gratitude.”

GOLDEN FUTURE 50+ SENIOR EXPO

Now in its eighth year, the Golden Future 50+ Senior Expo will feature aging seminars led by experts, live entertainment, health and wellness screenings, job and volunteer VIRGINIA GEAN opportunities for older adults and more. The free event will take place on March 2 at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center. “We are the largest senior-focused event in Ventura County,” said Toyia Moore Borrelli of Thousand Oaks, event director. Sixty vendors will be on site with a range of aging products and services, such as health care, veterans’ benefits, Medicare, NINA SLOAN RUBIN social security, home health care, retirement planning and recreational activities. Additional offerings include free tote bags with goodies for attendees, bingo with cash prizes, pet adoptions and DIY arts and crafts. Patricia and George Jones will be in attendance as vendors sharing information about Home Helpers Home Care, which provides professionally trained home care aides, allowing clients to live at home while being as independent as possible. These aides help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, meal preparation, personal care, transportation, shopping and running errands. “In other words, the everyday living tasks we take for granted, our home care aides are there to make our patients

lives easier,” said Patricia Jones, noting that they are the first home care company to be licensed in the region under the Home Care Consumer Protection Act in the State of California. “The law also mandates that all home care aides be registered with the state, pass a rigorous background check through the FBI and DOJ, and be thoroughly screened, trained and supervised.” Other vendors in attendance will include Nimit Vidyalankar of Genexe Health, which offers affordable access to genetic screening services. The genes we are born with may contribute to our risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colorectal and prostate cancer, Vidyalankar explained. “If you have a family history of cancer, a hereditary cancer screening test can help you to understand your risk for disease,” Vidyalankar said. “Everyone has some risk of developing cancer, and in most cases the disease develops by chance. However, some people are genetically predisposed to developing certain types of cancer. These people have a higher risk of developing the disease than those in the general population.” On March 2, Genexe Health will be educating and screening individuals who qualify. This involves no blood work or needles; rather, “a simple intake and non-invasive mouth swab.” “The big pharma business’ best interest is not the lives of individuals, in my opinion,” Vidyalankar further emphasized. “As long as people are ill, they make money. Our vision is to ensure everyone has access affordable access to genetic screening services.” Representatives from Club Pilates Camarillo will also be at the expo offering a free introductory class and a chance to win a free month’s membership for those who enter their raffle. “Our instructors go through 500-plus hours of training and our focus is always on proper form and member safety,” Sheri Courtemanche said. “Whatever your lifestyle or goals, incorporating pilates into your routine will help improve your life.” She added that Club Pilates Camarillo has members well into their 70s and 80s. “Pilates meets you where you’re at and allows you to achieve your goals as quickly or as slowly as you want,” Courtemanche said. “It is very low impact, yet provides a full-body workout that helps strengthen your core, align and lengthen your body and promote a sense of overall wellbeing.”

“AGING IS INSIDIOUS”

For those 50 and older, Dr. Fenwick said, “If you don’t change your habits of not exercising and eating healthier, you will die and die young . . . if you are terribly out of shape, overweight to the point of obesity and on too many meds.” Additionally, “If you are eating processed foods or making fast foods your staple diet, you will have to face it — you either make changes or your health will continue to fail . . . and it will not get any easier. Being arrogant and believing aging will never affect us is just stupid thinking.” “Aging is insidious,” she added, meaning we are faced with a hundred small decisions every week that determine the quality of our life years from now. “How we handle these choices determines the quality of our life, and often the length as well,” Dr. Fenwick said. “The first day you avoid the steps and choose the escalator, or move to a house with no steps, because you find steps too challenging physically, is the day you decided to accept a lower quality of life now and in the future. If you want a quality life after 50, chase what challenges you the most. Yes, it is harder. Yes, you have earned the right to decide your own life, but you also have to understand that what challenges you the most is what will keep you alive the longest.” Those who stay active tend to fair much better as they get older, Borrelli said. Also, human interactions are important for good health, well being and happiness. “When we are alone or isolated we can get depressed; we as humans are at our best when we can share and connect with others,” she said. At the expo, “Our goal is to help facilitate long lasting connections between Ventura County baby boomers and seniors and local businesses and resources.” F

LOCAL PHYSIOLOGIST RECOMMENDS MINIMUM 5 MINUTE WORKOUT SESSIONS Science has shown that doing several mini-workouts throughout the day is just as effective as one long workout, according to Dr. Annthea Fenwick, a certified exercise physiologist at the American College of Sports Medicine. The key with a 5- or 10- minute workout is to make the most of your time, she said, and this means intensity is going to be your focus. “You need to break a sweat and barely be able to catching your breath at the end,” Fenwick advised. She suggests doing three mini-workouts, spread throughout the day; and offers the following advice to make the most of your session: Always maintain good form: “Just because you’re focusing on intensity and speed doesn’t mean you should let your form break. Think about the proper technique during every rep.” Do it no matter what: “If you have absolutely no time that day, squeeze in at least one five-minute workout. It’s better than nothing and your body will still see a need to change.” Give it a try: For workouts at home, Dr. Fenwick suggests what she calls the 5- or 10-minute fat-burner, which includes: 10 alternating lunges; 15 squats; 10 single-leg Romanian dead lifts; 15 pushups; 10 Bulgarian split squats; 15 glute bridge exercises; 10 side planks with hip dip; and 10 planks with arm raises. While “you may feel like finding even five minutes to exercise is impossible with your busy schedule … nobody says staying fit is easy, but it doesn’t have to be impossible either,” Fenwick said. Just five minutes of exercise at a time may be beneficial to your health in many ways, “and, really, doing something is usually better than doing nothing, so get moving.” — Alicia Doyle

Amada Perez will read from her latest book, Nana’s Big Surprise, as part of the VFOL anniversary festivities this weekend.

For the love of books Ventura Friends of the Library celebrates 50th anniversary by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com

ifty years ago, a small group of Ventura volunteers kicked off the Ventura Friends of the Library (VFOL), a way to support the library’s outreach to the community. When they started, they had a membership of 82 and book sales totaled $470. A half century later, that membership has grown to 300 volunteers who helped raised $33,471 in 2018. In addition, last year the group contributed $200,700 to the opening of the Hill Road branch. To celebrate, the VFOL will begin hosting a series of activities during the year, starting with a kickoff birthday party on Saturday, March 2, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Ventura Avenue Adult Center, and continuing at the nearby Avenue Library later in the afternoon. “We encourage friends and families to join us for a festive afternoon,” says VFOL President Mary Olson. “There will be plenty of birthday cake, refreshments and other surprises.”

‘‘

A library is so much more than books. It is really about people. It’s an institution that brings people together.” — Charles McDermott, vice president, Ventura Friends of the Library.

Entertainment will include storytelling with best-selling bilingual author Amada Perez, who will read from her latest book, Nana’s Big Surprise. Noted creative artist Judee Hauer will be on hand to help children create folk art dolls from clothes pins. For VFOL Vice President Charles McDermott, the fact that volunteers have worked at this for five decades demonstrates their passion and dedication to the city’s library system.

“Friends of the Library has always been a labor of love by a lot of volunteers,” he explained. “I don’t think we can ever underestimate the power of volunteers who really have a love of what they’re doing.” McDermott points out that while the group’s mission has remained constant, the library itself has changed, and its purpose extends far beyond just checking out books. “A library is so much more than books,” he said. “It is really about people. It’s an institu-

tion that brings people together.” The library represents the local diversity of interests, cultures and programs that encourage people to walk through a library’s doors. “When you look at the programs that libraries promote, from young people learning how to read to older people becoming computer literate, if you look at people who are working with people on adult literacy, it’s a very moving institution,” he stated. For author Amada Perez, who emigrated from Mexico when she was 5 years old, the library was an important part of her childhood. “From the time I was in second grade, when I was 8 years old, was the first time I set foot in a public library in El Monte,” she recalled. “I was blown away. I couldn’t believe how many books there were and that they were free and that I could just check them out and bring them back and get new ones.” Perez attended school before there were any bilingual programs or books. Referring to her education as “sink or swim,” she remembered that “when I was at school, I always felt like I was unimportant.” She grew up to become an English teacher and, to address the lack of bilingual books for children, she eventually decided to write her own stories in both Spanish and English. Since 2000, she has published seven books. Her works are intended to inspire children and families to appreciate stories in a multilingual environment. For Perez, the key to encouraging a child’s imagination begins with access to a library. “I try to encourage children to go to the library because that’s where you can fly, that’s where you can make your dreams come true,” she said. The second part of the celebration in the library itself includes the awarding of raffle prizes, and 50 complimentary signed copies of Perez’s book. McDermott added that the Avenue Library will be dedicating new laptop check-out computers and furniture, both made possible by funds raised by VFOL. Dates are being considered for the other parties at E.P. Foster Library in the summer, Saticoy Library in September and a grand finale at Hill Road Library in October, featuring the popular Harmonix Singers and their artistic director, Miriam Arichea. (Catch Arichea this weekend when she performs a piano solo as part of the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra’s “World Music Gala”; story in Music on page 12). As for the next 50 years, with a new generation now assuming leadership, McDermott believes that VFOL will remain in good hands. “They are doing so in increasingly different ways,” he stated. “I feel confident that what has gone on for 50 years is certainly going to keep going. It’s going to go on in different guises, as we live in the 21st century and recognize that the role of the library keeps evolving.” ✦ The Ventura Friends of the Library kickoff party takes place on Saturday, March 2, 1-3 p.m. at the Ventura Avenue Adult Center, 550 N. Ventura Ave., Ventura.

Pianist Miriam Arichea looks to China for CHICO’s “World Music Gala” by Mike Nelson

efending accused criminals and playing piano concertos may not seem like compatible pursuits. But to defense attorney-slash-concert pianist Miriam Arichea, they have quite a lot in

common. “They’re both very detail oriented,” says Arichea, who is also a wife, parent, Ventura High School academic decathlon coach, youth choir director and teaching-credential seeker. “That means they both require a lot of discipline. As an attorney, you have to make yourself sit down and read through 20 cases to prepare yourself for court. And as a pianist, you have to learn — well, in this case, a 64-page concerto.” The 64-page work in this case is the Yellow River Concerto by Chinese composer Xian Xinghai. It is one of several musical works from Asia to be performed at the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra’s “World Music Gala: Music of the Orient” taking place on March 1 in Camarillo and March 3 in Ventura. Also on the program, led by CHICO artistic director and conductor Dr. KuanFen Liu, will be orchestral suites of Taiwanese folk music and the “Ode to Hero, Ode to Love,” a double erhu concerto by contemporary Chinese composer Bo-Chan Li to be performed by renowned Taiwanese erhu masters Ming-Yen Lee and Hsin-Chih Lin. (The ehru is a Chinese two-stringed instrument with a long, slender neck, held in the lap and played with a bow.) Arichea, who has performed with CHICO since its inception in 2004, has a solid connection to Asia. Though born in Durham, North Carolina, while her parents were graduate students at Duke University, she was raised in Southeast Asia, attending elementary and high schools in the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia before returning to North Carolina to earn her law degree at Duke. “But I was active in the music department,” says Arichea, who’d begun taking piano lessons at age 5. “I played recitals and accompanied vocal students in their recitals, and have stayed with music ever since. It’s a big part of my life.” So is Chinese culture, especially music. Having been born in the Chinese Year of the Dragon — a sign of intelligence and artistry in Chinese astrological lore — Arichea has visited China several times and is excited to perform Yellow River Concerto, which evokes the passion of one of her favorite pieces, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. “The Yellow River Concerto offers some beautiful melodic lines, very sweeping and large, with big, luscious chords underneath,” she says. “Its

harmonies are very atypical as classical pieces go; they’re not your normal Western harmonies. And its four movements are very distinct and convey a lot of imagery. It reminds me of movie music in that sense, and I think people who are not as familiar with classical music from China as they are with Western or European works will enjoy it.” Arichea cites the late Sofia Cosma, her longtime piano teacher, as perhaps her biggest influence. “Sofia emphasized not just learning the notes, but understanding the feeling and emotion of a piece, and she would use pretty powerful imagery to draw the right musical line out of me.” Arichea has served as music director and pianist for a number of community groups and events, including the Rubicon Theatre Company, the Ventura Unified Festival of Talent and Temple Beth Torah, and received the 2014 Ventura Mayor’s Arts Award for Arts Educator, for her work with Rubicon Harmonix. “Those were really talented kids, who I worked with through middle and high school, doing all kinds of pieces from musical theater to pop songs,” she says enthusiastically. “It brought me a lot of joy.” So does being musical director of Ventura Unified’s Festival of Talent fundraiser in March. “Playing classical pieces is very much a solo activity,” she notes, “and when you work with kids, it’s by definition a lot louder, more active and that much more fun.” She’s also coached Ventura High School’s mock trial and academic decathlon teams, and is in the midst of earning a teaching credential. And the link between music and law, she adds, is not so unusual. Her work handling criminal appeals as a court-appointed attorney with the California Appellate Project has connected her with “quite a few” lawyers who are also musicians. In fact, all of her pursuits — music, law teaching — meld rather nicely. “At this stage in life, music gives me an outlet, something to work hard on,” Arichea says. “It requires me to listen and learn new things, which is what practicing law and teaching are all about. And I enjoy sharing what I learn with others.” ✦ The Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra presents the “World Music Gala: Music of the Orient” on Friday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mary Magdalene Church, 25 N. Las Posas Road, Camarllo; and on Sunday, March 3, at 3 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 1338 E. Santa Clara St., Ventura. Suggested donation is $20; students free.

t was a fullWrite house and lineup localad talent at VinTura on COMMENTS: thea stellar number onofthe that Monday when nine different acts and dozens of customers corresponds tonight, your comments/corrections came in to bid farewell to the Downtown Ventura wine tasting

room. 1. ____________________________________________

“Lots of people came to show support and say goodbye,”

says owner Kristen Shubert, who took over the former Wine Rack and _______________________________________________

renamed it VinTura Tasting Room and Wine Rack in 2017. With a desirable location on California Street, quality wine and beer 2. ____________________________________________ on the menu, live music several nights a week and a comfortably stylish vibe, VinTura became a popular gathering spot for both wine and music _______________________________________________ lovers. Many of its regular cast of players performed for the “Happy Last Hour” on Feb. 25, including Frank Barajas and the Corsican Broth3. ers, ____________________________________________ Karyn 805, Jodi Farrell, Toni Jannotta and Jason Ho. “It looks like a fraternity party was here last night,” Shubert says with a laugh. _______________________________________________ The tasting room’s demise comes as a surprise to regulars, musicians Shubert herself. The renowned wine expert found out on Feb. 6 that 4. and ____________________________________________ her landlord, CSP Partners, was not going to renew her lease, and that she had until the end of the month to vacate the space at 14 S. California St. _______________________________________________ “It’s a short amount of time to get everything packed up and moved out,” says Shubert, who is spending these last few days selling off furni5. ture, ____________________________________________ equipment, décor and inventory. Why CSP Partners chose not to renew VinTura’s lease is unclear. Her _______________________________________________ landlords did not give Shubert a reason, or tell her what plans for the space will be after she leaves. “It’s just another Downtown Ventura landlord issue. He won’t tell me who’s coming in,” she says, adding that she’s heard “rumors that one of my competitors is coming in.” Going forward, Shubert may find herself in France, competing in the professional wine tasting circuit. She has the background for it: With decades of experience in the food and beverage industry, she is a certified sommelier, a member of the Court of Master Sommeliers, and a former member of the U.S. Wine Tasting Team. In August, she and local sommelier Lisa Stoll competed together to beat out seven other teams in the U.S. Open Blind Wine Tasting Competition in Los Angeles, and the two led Team USA during the World Wine Tasting Championship in France in October. But losing VinTura so quickly took a financial toll, leaving Shubert’s future somewhat uncertain. “Without any extra cash, I don’t know,” she says. “There was no way to get any money out of this.” ✦

HOW IS A DRUG COUNSELOR LIKE A PLUMBER?

AFTER DARK

vcreporter.com Continued from Page 16

He’s not. That’s why I don’t write about plumbing problems, it’s not my area. Everyone from local churches to social workers wants to get in the game of drug recovery, trying to solve things they’re not experienced in. Some believe we must get to the “root cause” of addiction in order to solve it. What does a non-addict know about root cause? Nothing, I assure you. If you want to know the “root cause”, come see me. I’m an ex dope-fiend and been a private practice counselor since 2004. I have lived through this and I will tell you the very real, personal experience that myself and ALL other addicts know in our hearts to be true about it. You might be surprised at the answer. This issue, if not handled correctly, can leave kids DEAD. Not messed up, not unhappy, but irreversibly DEAD. This is not a competition and I’m not angling for business. I already work 6 days a week and while I will always make room for those who want my help, competition is not a motivator for me. I feel obligated to speak out. Your pastor or local therapist visited the issue in a couple of chapters on the way to their degree. While these folks can contribute to the process they should not be leading the cause any more than a plumber should. Sending someone to rehab, boarding school or calling cops often does more harm than good and dozens of factors need to be considered before any of these options are used. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to call a plumber to fix a leaky pipe.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

South Koreans work too hard. Many are on the job for fourteen hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there. People take sabbaticals by checking into Prison Inside Me, a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones and Internet and important appointments. Freed of normal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this — minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, low-pressure escape.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

The astrology column you’re reading is published in periodicals in four countries: the U.S., Canada, Italy, and France. In all of these places, women have had a hard time acquiring political power. Neither the U.S. nor Italy has ever had a female head of government. France has had one, Édith Cresson, who served less than a year as Prime Minister. Canada has had one, Kim Campbell, who was in office for 132 days. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will be a more favorable time than usual to boost feminine authority and enhance women’s ability to shape our shared reality. And you Tauruses of all genders will be in prime position to foster that outcome. Homework: Meditate on specific ways you could contribute, even if just through your personal interactions.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

A 19-year-old guy named Anson Lemmer started a job as a pizza delivery man in Glenwood, Colorado. On his second night, he arrived with a hot pizza at a house where an emergency was in progress. A man was lying on the ground in distress. Having been trained in CPR, Lemmer leaped to his rescue and saved his life. I expect that you, too, will perform a heroic act sometime soon, Gemini — maybe not as

by rob brezsny

monumental as Lemmer’s, but nonetheless impressive. And I bet it will have an enduring impact, sending out reverberations that redound to your benefit for quite some time.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Scientist Michael Dillon was shocked when he learned that some bees can buzz around at lofty altitudes where the oxygen is sparse. He and a colleague even found two of them at 29,525 feet — higher than Mt. Everest. How could the bees fly in such thin air? They “didn’t beat their wings faster,” according to a report in National Geographic, but rather “swung their wings through a wider arc.” I propose that we regard these high-flying marvels as your soul animals for the coming weeks. Metaphorically speaking, you will have the power and ingenuity and adaptability to go higher than you’ve been in a long time.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Do you find it a challenge to commit to an entirely plant-based diet? If so, you might appreciate flexitarianism, which is a less-perfectionist approach that focuses on eating vegetables but doesn’t make you feel guilty if you eat a bit of meat now and then. In general, I recommend you experiment with a similar attitude toward pretty much everything in the coming weeks. Be strong-minded, idealistic, willful, and intent on serving your well-being — but without being a maniacal purist.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

If you gorge on sugary treats and soft drinks, you ingest a lot of empty calories. They have a low nutrient density, and provide you with a scant amount of minerals, vitamins, protein, and other necessities. Since I am committed to helping you treat yourself with utmost respect, I always discourage you from that behavior. But I’m especially hopeful you will avoid it during the next three weeks, both in

the literal and metaphorical senses. Please refrain from absorbing barren, vacant stuff into the sacred temple of your mind and body — including images, stories, sounds, and ideas, as well as food and drink.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Charles Grey was the second Earl of Grey, as well as Prime Minister of England from 1830 to 1834. His time in office produced pivotal changes, including the abolition of slavery, reform of child labor laws, and more democracy in the nation’s electoral process. But most people today know nothing of those triumphs. Rather he is immortalized for the Earl Grey tea that he made popular. I suspect that in the coming weeks, one of your fine efforts may also get less attention than a more modest success. But don’t worry about it. Instead, be content with congratulating yourself for your excellent work. I think that’s the key to you ultimately getting proper appreciation for your bigger accomplishment.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

At a young age, budding Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath came to a tough realization: “I can never read all the books I want,” she wrote in her journal. “I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.” Judging by current astrological omens, I can imagine you saying something like that right now. I bet your longing for total immersion in life’s pleasures is especially intense and a bit frustrated. But I’m pleased to predict that in the next four weeks, you’ll be able to live and feel more shades, tones, and variations of experience than you have in a long time.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

When Europeans invaded and occupied North America, they displaced many indigenous people from their ancestral lands. There were a few notable exceptions, including five tribes in what’s now Maine and Eastern Canada. They are known as the Wabanaki confederacy: the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Micmac, Maliseet, and Abenaki. Although they had to adjust to and compromise with colonialism, they were never defeated by it. I propose we make them your heroic symbols for the coming weeks. May their resilient determination to remain connected to their roots and origins motivate you to draw ever-fresh power from your own roots and origins.

Until the sixteenth century in much of Europe and the eighteenth century in Britain, the new year was celebrated in March. That made sense given the fact that the weather was growing noticeably warmer and it was time to plant the crops again. In my astrological opinion, the month of March is still the best time of year for you Pisceans to observe your personal new year. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to start fresh in any area of your life. If you formulate a set of New Year’s resolutions, you’re more likely to remain committed to them than if you had made them on Jan. 1.

CAPRICORN

Homework: Write a short essay on “How I Created Something Out of Nothing.” Go to https://RealAstrology.com and click on “Email Rob.”

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Capricorn javelin thrower Julius Yego won a silver medial at the 2016 Summer Olympics. How did he get so skilled? Not in the typical way. He gained preliminary proficiency while competing for his high school team, but after graduation, he was too poor to keep developing his mastery. So he turned to Youtube, where he studied videos by great javelin throwers to benefit from their training strategies and techniques. Now that you’re in an intense learning phase of your cycle, Capricorn, I suggest that you, too, be ready to draw on sources that may be unexpected or unusual or alternative.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

The first edition of Action Comics, which launched the story of the fictional character Superman, cost ten cents in 1938. Nowadays it’s worth three million dollars. I’ll make a bold prediction that you, too, will be worth considerably more on December 31, 2019, than you are right now. The increase won’t be as dramatic as that of the Superman comic, but still: I expect a significant boost. And what you do in the next four weeks could have a lot to do with making my prediction come true.

Angeles restaurant scene. Visiting one of the many

Ventura 805-643-1062 venturasurfshop.com

Mohawk Bend in Echo Park, Bluebird Brasserie in Sherman Oaks and Ojai Pub in… Ojai? Finally, a Yanow project in our own backyard. Considering my dietary choices (vegetarian; wife is vegan), Ojai Pub was a no-brainer to visit. Yanow’s other restaurants are vegan friendly, and I distinctly remember having the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had at Mohawk Bend several years ago. Ojai Pub had been opened a few weeks by the time we visited and the menu was decidedly restrained, offering standard pub fare rather than an eclectic variety. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. Its pub fare. It’s in the name. For starters, there’s spicy fried chickpeas with a Nashville hot spice ($5), chili fries with a chipotle aioli ($8) and Buffalo cauliflower with a vegan blue cheese dressing ($8). We found a spot in the corner, sat elbow to elbow at a small table betwixt a family with several children and an older couple. The children played games while the diner to my left apparently kept looking at me oddly. Maybe he thought I was the waiter? But there is no actual waiter, this is an order-from-the-counter deal. I think I may have had a head’s up to the reality of Ojai Pub, having regularly visited many of the great pubs of England. On my first visit to an English pub, I stood around looking like a lost tourist before it was

Signature:Surfshop __________________________ restaurants with Yanow’s name on it brings me great joy. 88 E. Thompson

pointed out to me that I order everything from the bar, including food. Ojai Pub, with its sleek, classic bar and book shelves on exposed brick lined with all manner of spirits, captures the old English atmosphere in spades. I ordered the Buffalo cauliflower from the bar along with a pint of Alesmith’s nut brown ale ($7) and Russian River’s Blind Pig ($8). The pours were imperial — i.e., 20 ounces of beer goodness, just like the English do it. For mains there were a few choices: two burgers, a classic variety with Double R Ranch Beef or an Impossible patty, house secret sauce, cheddar cheese and all of the classic accoutrements ($14) or the BBQ burger with a balsamic barbecue sauce, cheddar and crispy onions ($15). Both are served with fries. I went with the latter. For a restaurant that claims that “all dishes prepared vegan, unless marked otherwise,” there sure were a lot of “otherwise,” including the fish and chips ($16) and fried chicken sandwich ($13) making up two of the five entrée options. There’s really something for everyone. We also ordered the winter bowl ($12): black rice, roasted cauliflower, heirloom carrots, squash, kale and a pepita pesto with an addition of hemp-seed crusted tofu ($4 extra). Our food was brought to us as we sipped at our beers. Crispy and tart, the Buffalo cauliflower was excellent. Wherever the chef learned how to make cauliflower as tasty as this should be recognized with a plaque. When my burger arrived I was sad to find that the bun was too large, somewhat dry and crumbly. The sauce was spectacular; however, I just wish there had been more of it. There could definitely have been more crispy onions. The winter bowl was good, the veggies fresh and the rice cooked nicely. It was far healthier than my plate and prettier, too. We finished our pints and, having paid up at the bar, left. It was unlike any other Tony Yanow restaurant I’d had the pleasure of dining at. The food was good; the beer was above par; the atmosphere was mixed. I can’t tell if it wants to be a family restaurant or a casual dinner date hot spot like so many of Yanow’s LA restaurants are. Regardless, I’ll return for a pint in the near future and pray that a new bun for the burger has been found. ♦

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 child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated.

“Our daughter found Tribe, but a short while after starting she walked out the door late one night. The director called us and our hearts sank. We asked if she was kicked out. “We don’t kick out alcoholics for alcoholic behavior,” she said. Nancy stood by her words and touched our hearts.” Jill O., Oxnard “The staff is caring, inclusive, understanding and yet totally direct, transparent and candid. I LOVE being a part of this Tribe!” Jamie L., Canyon Country “After 10 years of multiple “rehab” facilities and lots and lots of money wasted, FINALLY found a place that works!” Jon M., Westlake Village “During the most painful and dangerous turn in our son’s journey, Tribe offered what I’ve not seen in other programs – the unbridled presence of genuine Love that guides their professional process. As a licensed therapist for over 30 years, I found this healing bridge of love built a stronger connection with his authentic self.” Gavin F., Ventura “We are seeing results with Tribe! So proud of our daughter.” Pam H., Canyon Country “I came completely broken internally and externally. I’ve struggled with substance abuse issues and mental health issues all of my life and have been to several programs that never seemed to rehabilitate the part of me that needed the most care, and that was love.” Merry M., Camarillo

“Our 30-year old son has conquered his 12 year addiction to alcohol! Tribe is a strong program with a lot of love, medicine and intense immersion in advanced techniques.” L. B., Malibu “After attending multiple rehabs, Tribe is the place that worked for me. I’m currently 518 days sober. Nancy helped my family understand the disease process in depth, and she reconnected me with my sister and my parents. Today I have genuine relationships with my immediate family, something I could never have imagined prior to Tribe.” Kathryn H, Carpinteria “My son thrived during his stay at Tribe. The atmosphere, meetings, healthy living and activities provided the conditions necessary for a healthy recovery.” J.T., Mission Viejo “Addiction is messy and far from perfect…I owe Nancy my life. The individualized care and therapy is incomparable. EMDR, individual and family sessions, music and art therapy, psycho education by PhD holders. I used to not be able to leave my house, now I’m a fully functioning, contributing member of society.” Debbie D., Ventura “Out of 11 rehabs, finally my son has found a program and “home” that works.” Melissa S., Arroyo Grande “The 3-day workshop with clients and their families is a life changing event.” Roberta S., Ventura

“The problem is not always about drug addiction, but about self-esteem.” Jason J., Ventura “Thanks so much TRIBE for helping us get our wonderful son back to sanity!” Liz B., Malibu “Tribe has one of the most innovative approaches to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.” Elizabeth K., Santa Cruz “I have seen the magic of hope alive in this program and would trust them with my life. Tribe is a gift to our community.” Jen M., Manhattan Beach “Nancy is able to pull the covers off the client, exposing the co-occurring mental illness that usually is the source of addiction. Tribe has created an environment of containment that is safe, caring and filled with possibilities for growth. Thank you Tribe! Trudie T., Ojai

“Life changing.” Staci C., Thousand Oaks

“I don’t know where or what status I would be in if we did not seek help and how lucky are we to find the Tribe family.” Upu L., Gardena

“My son has been to many rehabs, and does well while in a structured environment. The problem is when he gets out. Tribe taught my son how to adjust to life clean and sober. They got him where he needed to be to succeed. Thank you Tribe.” Teri B., Placentia
