“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.

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

“Out of 11 rehabs, finally my son has found a program and “home” that works.” Melissa S., Arroyo Grande

OPINION Editorial

Where is the accountability? T

here are interesting idiosyncrasies when it comes to reading about government and how it benefits society. In the last week, two stories ran in local media: “After waiting list hits 10-year mark, affordable housing provider Many Mansions closes list” “Former Naval Base Ventura County employee admits to $1.2M kickback scheme” While these two stories don’t appear to be connected, they are a revelation on how government has considerable vulnerabilities that weaken its ability to serve society and our communities in the altruistic fashion by which it was designed. With regard to Many Mansions based in Thousand Oaks, the organization provides affordable housing financed in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, overseen by HUD and a private CPA firm called Novogradac and Company. (Novogradac sets the rent and income limits through its copyrighted calculator across the country in housing projects such as Many Mansions and Section 8 units.)While Many Mansions has 514 units housing over 1,300 individuals, it still falls severely short of demand, given the waiting list of 10 years is now closed with 2,000 households on the list. Many Mansions projects, however, are no different than other affordable housing tax credit projects, such as Working Artists Ventura. In fact, Ventura County has thousands of these LIHTC units, which are also funded in part by private developers via a publicprivate partnership. This 30-plus-year-old federal program was created all for the sake of addressing the country’s overwhelming housing crisis — Ventura County is surely hit harder than many other areas — which has only gotten worse over the last 10 years since the Great Recession. The questions that we as a community and as a society should ask ourselves is this: If this is the best we can do to address the

housing crisis, and the demand has only gotten worse, what is wrong with this government program? We can say that pay isn’t keeping up with housing costs, but why? The housing crisis plagues the entire country. As for the former Naval Base Ventura County employee (who admitted to benefitting from a $1.2 million kickback scheme), this is a good example of how absolute authority is corruptible. This situation arose out of an agreement between a public employee, Fernando Barroso Sr., 69, of Oxnard, and a local businessman, Theodore Bauer. The plan: Barroso would issue and approve work and purchase orders for Bauer’s companies while Bauer created false invoices and Barroso would approve payments for work that was never done. The two would then split the funds. This scheme worked for 10 years. It’s not clear which projects should have been done, but surely, society and the base lost. Now both have to cover the cost of what was lost in not only money, but time and energy as well. At the cross section of these two different stories are people who fail to hold others accountable. Why is tax credit housing the solution as our housing crisis swells? Why didn’t anyone at the base hold Bauer accountable for the projects he was signing off on? If a problem worsens over time, surely, there is a problem with the supposed solutions. Local media can only do so much to keep the checks and balances in place, but in the end, accountability and progress should be a constant when it comes to government. Clearly, they are not. It is only a complacent society that looks at serious issues that continue to get worse and say, “Not my problem,” and just keep passing the baton to the next person who should be held accountable. That baton will never rest until it sits in the lap of someone who cares enough to say something and, better, do something.

we transition to the un-housed state, is our basic human dignity. This is something the housed take for granted, and it’s natural to do so. In normal life, living indoors, we’re rarely confronted with situations that identify us “the other.” Living outdoors, forced to remain outdoors, often shell-shocked, dragging around bags or suitcases … everything about us screams “other” in big block letters. This, despite the fact that many of us are engaged, every single day, in the process of crawling and scratching our way back to the surface of society. The staff and volunteers at the new shelter brought extra reserves of basic human compassion to this project, and they’ll need it. They are working under first-responder pressure levels, and without a wellspring of love and reassurance and an annual rejuvenation plan, they will soon begin to suffer from the misery and hopelessness they absorb daily. The un-housed don’t have a voice, and therefore no credibility, but maybe that will change over time. For now, I’m well-authorized to speak for many of the current guests at the Armory and send hugs and thank-yous to Ventura County and particularly the City of Oxnard, for all you’ve done on our behalf. God bless Ventura County! P W Robinson Oxnard

Electric moves Local unions trade war of words over SoCal Edison work by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

entura County and Santa Barbara union workers are facing a tough decision following changes to an agreement that some are dubbing

unfair. The union dispute arose when the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 47 (IBEW Local 47), which holds a contract with Southern California Edison known as a construction maintenance labor agreement, cancelled so-called “carve out” agreements that allowed for the hiring of outside union workers to perform work on underground dry utility infrastructure. Transmission, distribution, substation, line clearance and telecom work are all included in this type of work. Up until December 2018, Local 47 allowed underground dry utility infrastructure work to be performed by contractors and unions members who had been signatories to the carve out agreements. On Dec. 1, 2018, Local 47 introduced the Southern California Outside Utility Infrastructure agreement, which changed who would be allowed to take part in the work. SoCal Edison notified previously hired laborers that they would no longer be used if they were not part of Local 47, stemming from the changes.

6—

— March 14, 2019

Now, the only option for these workers, who previously worked on SCE projects, is to join the union, pay so-called agency fees or find work elsewhere. An agency fee allows a person who is not a member of the Local 47 to take jobs exclusively for the union without having to become a member. In Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, there are many unions and businesses affected by the move, including members of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Teamsters and the Laborers International Union of North America (LiUNA) and companies such as Tidwell Excavating, Henkels & McCoy and International Line Builders, Inc., to name just a few. One laborer, “Mike Smith” (pseudonym used to protect his identity), says that switching to the IBEW Local 47 would require losing benefits acquired over decades by him and others. “It’s affecting me because they’re saying I can’t work on a contract. I’ve been there for 15 years. I’ll have to go look for another job or switch unions and start a new pension somewhere else,” said Smith. Smith says that he believes the move is for the benefit of the Local 47 and that the union would not be able to provide the training required to safely complete jobs, noting that the IBEW Local 47 crews are trained for overhead line work, not underground.

Anthony Mireles, business manager for Ventura-headquartered LiUNA Local 585, says that younger workers would be attracted to move to the Local 47 over fear of potentially losing a job, but that they also lose out on training for future work opportunities. Mireles, who also sits on the Ventura County Workforce Development Board, notes that the Local 585 is preparing workers for future technologies from cybersecurity to installing 5G networks. “What is Local 47 going to do if they have to do grid improvements and can’t find the people because we’re doing better training?” said Mireles, defining the coming years as the “digitalization of construction.” Mireles, like Smith, also points toward safety concerns. “The [International Union of Operating Engineers Local 12] have apprenticeships, we have one, where’s theirs? The linemen? They’re taught to climb the poles, but they don’t have an underground utility safety training to work inside the vaults,” said Mireles. “The public will be at harm if there’s power that goes down and they have unskilled workers working.” IBEW Local 47 Business Manager and Financial Secretary Patrick Lavin says, simply, that “they’re a bunch of lying bastards.” “There’s no way to hold back on it and I’m not saddled with political correctness. From listening to their nonsense, they make things up,” said Lavin.

Lavin says that one of the reasons the agreements were cancelled is because the operator engineers and laborers “cheated” on the terms by mixing and matching crews and by putting their own foremen in charge of IBEW crews against the terms of the agreement. Smith says that he doesn’t see what difference it makes if the crews were mixed, adding that the Local 47 did not have workers needed to fulfill jobs and that the ones they did provide failed to meet work safety and experience requirements. “We put in to have these people and a majority failed drug tests or don’t have the experience,” said Smith. “You have to have a minimum five years’ experience and the trade crews and laborers have all the experience because we’ve been doing this for years.” Lavin says that of the 11,000 Local 47 members in Southern California, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties have around 2,000 members and that they have added close to 100 new members who have joined following the agreement cancellation. Lavin disputes the notion that transitioning to the Local 47 from another union would cancel pensions, explaining that once a member is vested in their pension, you can’t lose it, per state law. “When the operators have come over and joined our union because they want to work and not sit at home and do nothing because the operator can’t put them to work, the operators will bring them in, file charges that they’re working for non-union, and they will threaten them with loss of their pensions,” said Lavin. “I’ve gotten our attorney to represent those people and say this is bullshit, you can’t take anyone’s pension away.” To become vested in a pension, a minimum number of hours or years is required, which varies by union. Young or new union members may not have reached the hours or years required before moving into a new union membership, which would entitle them to only a portion of the funds. Lavin also disputes that the Local 47 doesn’t properly train their members, calling the accusation “nonsense” while noting that the IBEW has a training and apprenticeship facility in San Bernardino. For older workers who have spent years working for a particular union, however, the change means potentially starting over. “We’re going to have to go find jobs with other companies like Toro, there’s nothing we can really do,” said Smith. “To me, it’s unfair labor practices. I don’t see why they only want IBEW work and only one union can do it. We’ve been doing it for years.” When asked for comment, Southern California Edison issued this statement: “Southern California Edison has a strong relationship with our union partners. The company is required to uphold legal obligations under its union agreement.” ✦

VENTURA COUNTY SEES 16 PERCENT DECREASE IN CRIME IN 2018

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department has announced that in 2018 crime dipped by 16 percent from the year prior by every measure save for one due to the Borderline shooting. The data represents statistics from the five cities serviced by the Sherriff’s Department — Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai and Thousand Oaks — as well as the unincorporated portions of the county. The dip comes via the Uniform Crime Reports that include homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and arson. The only category which saw an increase was homicide accounting for the 12 who were killed during the Borderline shooting in November. The year prior had a total of five homicides; 2018 counted 18. Aggravated assaults dropped by 26 percent, however; robberies dropped from 117 reported in 2017 to 89 in 2018; and so-called violent crimes saw a 21 percent decrease. Property crimes continues to be the Department’s most reported crime, at 89 percent of total calls. Arson saw the biggest drop, down 51 percent from the year prior with 17 reported crimes in 2018 down from 35 in 2017.

NEW VENTURA COUNTY JAIL BREAKS GROUND IN SANTA PAULA

Ground has been broken on the construction of the Todd Road Jail in Santa Paula, a 64-bed jail to house inmates with medical and mental health issues. On Wednesday, March 6, a ceremony was held at the site located at 600 Todd Road in Santa Paula. The 64,000 square foot jail has been in the planning stages for several years, a project of The Health and Programming Unit, a result of the state of California’s adoption of realignment that requires longer stays for some inmates in county jails. The total cost of the jail is $61.3 million, with 90 percent funding acquired from California’s Board of State and Community Corrections.

PATAGONIA HIRES FORMER EPA COUNSEL AS ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATE

Ventura-headquartered outdoor apparel company Patagonia has hired Avi Garbow, who formerly served as the Environmental Protection Agency’s general counsel under President Barack Obama, as its first dedicated Environmental Advocate. Garbow will “provide strategic leadership and vision to Patagonia’s robust environmental advocacy efforts,” wrote the company in a statement. Patagonia is no stranger to butting heads with officials over environmental advocacy. In December 2017, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke directly attacked the company over its opposition to President Donald Trump’s move to shrink Utah’s Bears Ears national monument by up to 80 percent, which the company said would allow for mining and oil exploration via private companies. Patagonia says that Garbow’s main focus, however, will be on the climate crisis. “As Patagonia’s Environmental Advocate, Avi will provide leadership and strategy to our commitment to the planet,” said Rose Marcario, president and CEO. “He will help us advance policies that support land and water, renewable energy and regenerative organic agriculture. These are solutions that can not only curb our carbon problem, but also reverse it.” “The need for private sector leaders to protect our environment, conserve our lands, and address the climate crisis has never been greater,” said Garbow.

VENTURA HOSPITAL RECEIVES NEW HEARTSURGERY TECH

Community Memorial Hospital has recently added a new, minimallyinvasive option for those looking forward to their next heart procedure. The procedure known as a transcatheter aortic valve replacement can repair a damaged valve without removing it, instead replacing it with an artificial valve through the femoral artery in the groin via long catheter. “The TAVR procedure is reducing the need for open-heart surgeries in some instances and hastening patient recovery,” said Dr. Omid Fatemi, Community Memorial Health System’s medical director of structural heart and high risk revascularization. The new procedure will take place in CMH’s new Ocean Tower, which includes a state-of-the-art cath lab where within the first week of opening four successful TAVR procedures have been performed.

Planet Ventura County SUPERVISORS APPROVE WILDLIFE CORRIDOR

he Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved an amended and reduced proposal to protect wildlife species in the county on Tuesday, March 12. By a 4-1 vote, the Supervisors approved the Habitat Connectivity and Wildlife Corridor proposal following a hearing during with over 100 speakers who voiced their opinions on the subject. The approved proposal would reduce outdoor lighting, which has been shown to be harmful to certain nocturnal species, limit development near rivers and streams and restrict fencing and development near wildlife crossings. The project has been several years in the making with support from local and national environmental advocates who say that the encroachment of urban civilization has harmed wildlife species. Included in the project are 100 foot buffers around waterways, including the Santa Clara River, and several structures built to allow for safe passageway over thoroughfares. Close to 400,000 acres of land in Ventura County fall under the Corridor project regulations. Several changes were made to the original proposal stemming from a Jan. 31 meeting on the project. Most notably, in the original project, restrictions were in place for owners of land who wanted to build on more than half an acre of undeveloped parcel in the corridor must apply for a

discretionary permit. This requirement was dropped in favor of allowing an initial structure to be built anywhere on the property with any additional structures subject to the stricter regulation.

Planet Ventura WALK FOR WATER

eginning March 16, individuals across the globe will log over 1 million miles walking for clean water, and local organizers are giving Ventura County an opportunity to take part. Ventura-based CLEAN International will host the World Water Day March 22 event during which participants will be asked to walk four miles — the average distance millions around the world walk daily for clean water. “The Worldwide Walk for Water is a rare opportunity to help save lives, with everyday people simply doing what they normally do,” said CLEAN International co-founder Heather Baker. “The awareness and money generated through this event makes a powerful and genuinely life-changing difference to those families and communities all over the world who, through no fault of their own, do not have access to clean water.” Participant’s pledges will benefit CLEAN International’s efforts to eradicate waterborne illnesses worldwide.

The Illuminating Selachian Photography of Nat Geo’s Thomas Peschak in Thousand Oaks BY DAVID COTNER

Living in Ventura County, there’s a natural suspicion that sharks lurk constantly in the oceans nearby. It’s a suspicion that, depending on what stories you overhear from fishermen and surfers, rests somewhere between curiosity and anxiety. Despite a pronounced lack of fatal shark attacks off the Ventura County coast — with only one recorded, in 2015 — fishing data shows that the waters off Ventura and Oxnard are heavy with juvenile white sharks. So which shark tales do you believe? Thomas Peschak, the German marine biologist whose admiration and vision led him to concentrate on photographing some of the most elusive shark species in the world, ultimately brought his affinities for these mysterious and enigmatic creatures of the sea to National Geographic. His Wild Seas, Secret Shores program has taken him all over the world to advocate for a greater understanding of sharks, and here he holds forth on sharks as apex predators, as cautionary tales and as crucial aspects of the larger global food chain.

Cotner: What’s the biggest disconnect audiences have between sharks and the public image of sharks?

Peschak: I think that most people have experienced National Geographic’s content either in the magazine or on the TV channel or the Instagram feed, and they tend to only always see the end result. They see those few images, or those few stories and video clips, often without context — and I think that, during my live show, my aim to take the audience on one of these National Geographic 8— — March 14, 2019

assignments with me and take them behind the scenes on my Nat Geo show Wild Seas, Secret Shores and actually show them what really goes into producing those images. It’s really a show about the good, the bad, the funny and the ugly. Most of the time, when I’m shooting for National Geographic, it is never easy, it is always an uphill struggle, and I think that the stories behind the images really give a great context about what it actually takes to bring back those stories from often incredibly remote and wild — and sometimes even hostile — places. I’ve been shooting for National Geographic for 10 years, so this is really a chance for the audience to come with me on 10 years’ worth of National Geographic assignments in some of the most interesting and awe-inspiring locations in our oceans and along our coastlines.

Are sharks the focus in your larger body of work?

Absolutely. I come from a marine biology background; I was a scientist first, and then, about 15 years or so ago, I realized that I could probably make a bigger impact in conservation through photographs and through statistics. Actually, one of the first real proj-

ects that I worked on was sharks and shark conservation. Sharks have been a thread that’s gone through my entire photographic career. I think that sharks are a really great “gateway drug” into ocean conservation. Whether people fear them, or whether they’re fascinated by them — no one is indifferent about a shark. If somebody feels something, they’re bound to listen and they’re bound to be much more engaged than if you’re talking about a piece of seaweed, or talking about a marine snail. These are also incredibly important creatures and part of the biodiversity of our oceans — but I think you can tell a lot of very important ocean conservation stories through the character of a shark. A good third of Wild Seas, Secret Shores has quite interesting and powerful shark content.

Was there a speciﬁc moment at which you realized that sharks were the animal for you?

I’m 43 now. I’ve been incredibly lucky. I knew I wanted to be a marine biologist since I was 10 years old. No questions. No alternatives. No negotiation. (laughs) I always knew what I was going to do. So, forever. I started snorkeling when I was about 10, scuba around 12; I put a lot of time in the ocean before I was an adult. Sharks were always part of that ecosystem. They were always a distinct part of that larger realm — but I’ve always been fascinated by them. As a young kid, watching documentaries about them, or reading old National Geographic articles, or books by Jacques Cousteau and people like that, and sharks were always a real draw card for me. When I began to encounter them for the first time in the ocean as a teenager, it kind of really reiterated how incredibly fascinating

they were. And of course as a photographer, they became a real photographic challenge for me because … I think most people have this idea that you can go out into the ocean, hop in anywhere and within a few seconds, you’re going to be surrounded by sharks. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.

Or fortunately!

Years of industrial fishing have decimated shark populations all across our oceans, and finding and photographing sharks is actually incredibly difficult. When you’re shooting sharks, you spend most of your time looking. Because sharks haven’t received the best press in the last 50 or 60 years, I think that in the early days of shark photography, the public opinion was really against them. It’s hard to get people really excited about a shark conservation campaign — stop shark finning and like that — because people saw them as these reviled, man-eating monsters. In the last 10 years, I’ve seen that really shift. The amount of conservation organizations that are out there dedicated to sharks … sharks have really become the new dolphins. Or the new whales. We’ve really seen a paradigm shift from when I began photographing sharks to what I see now — and that’s obviously incredibly encouraging.

When you hear a news report about a shark attack, what’s the first thing that springs to mind?

Look, I don’t make light of shark bites. At all. Even though the occurrences are incredibly minute. If it happens to you, or your family — or it happens to your coastal community — the impact,

psychologically and economically, can be enormous. Even though they are — statistically — incredibly low, I take them incredibly seriously. I think what comes to mind is that, as a biologist and as a person who’s put in a lot of time studying these animals, I ask myself, “OK — why did it happen?” A lot of people want to know why sharks bite us. The number of bites is so minute that, statistically speaking, we don’t really have the answers because if we were study something like this, we would have to have hundreds of thousands of incidents, and at the moment, I think the last statistic I saw a few years ago was something like less than 10 people die from sharks every single year. I think, internationally, it’s something like 100 bites. Sharks are a marvel of evolution. They evolved over millions and millions of years — and they evolved with their food sources, whether it’s sardines or tuna or seals or whatever it might be, they’re specialized feeders. We’ve only entered the ocean (evolutionarily) incredibly recently. We are not on the sharks’ menu. We are not something that sharks actively pursue for food. I think that most shark bite incidents are either cases of mistaken identity — where the shark makes a mistake; it’s hunting in the area, the visibility is bad, there are a lot of factors going on where the shark mistakes a human for something else. I think bites can also be defensive. I think bites can be inquisitive. Look at us humans: If we’re interested in something, we have arms and two hands. We

can pick something up. We can feel it. Sharks have these receptors in their mouths on their gums. If a shark is curious about something, it investigates with its mouth. So I think a lot of shark bites could also be investigatory incidences — of course, if a great white shark makes an investigatory bite, the consequences are obviously quite drastic. There are really only a handful of incidences in the last 100 years or so where a shark has actually eaten a person. Most of the situations are a single bite, and the animal never comes back — which indicates a mistake, or curiosity or defensiveness. These are theories; we simply don’t have the number of bites to statistically determine anything conclusive.

When you speak to an audience about sharks, what’s the most important thing that you can impart?

Sharks play a critical role in the ocean. Many sharks are at the top of the food chain — they are the large, important predators, and they have an important structuring and balancing effect. If you removed all wolves from Yellowstone, or all grizzly bears out of the Tetons, you’d get an impact down the line. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not in 10 years — but in 50 to 100 years’ time, you’re going to start to see impact that you haven’t anticipated. Taking care of the top of the food chain — in this case, sharks — also has a real benefit on the entire marine food chain. So I emphasize See SHARKS Page 17

Feeling green St. Patrick’s Day events to kick off around the county by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer

Laura S. J. Barrows as Princess Zara with John Pillsbury as King Paramount in Utopia, Limited.

Ventura County Gilbert and Sullivan Repertoire Company presents Utopia, Limited at the Hillcrest Center for the Arts by Emily Dodi

ow did W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan do it? Did they know that their work would speak as clearly of the conditions of today as it did when they wrote it in the 19th century? They were creative geniuses, undeniably, but maybe their prescience really is more about human predictability. The faults and foibles that Gilbert and Sullivan satirized in their day — hubris, vanity, greed, the cult of celebrity — we’ve still got them . . . and then some. Luckily, our ability to laugh at ourselves, which the theatrical duo also celebrated, remains as well. In Utopia, Limited, or The Flowers of Progress, Gilbert and Sullivan skewer imperialism, capitalism and a host of other human inventions. Its main characters could easily fit in amongst today’s headliners. The operetta, with libretto by Gilbert and music by Sullivan, is the latest offering from the Ventura Country Gilbert and Sullivan Repertoire Company, produced by John Pillsbury with director Rebecca Pillsbury at the helm. Utopia, Limited is set on a tiny island in the South Pacific, where the bounty is plentiful and the people are happy. The same cannot be said for their ruler, the affable yet ineffectual King Paramount (John Pillsbury). The king is under the influence of Scaphio and Phantis (Marc Goldstein and Paul Carpenter), the kingdom’s Supreme Court judges, who trick him into doing all sorts of ridiculous things, like writing self-deprecating tabloid pieces under a pseudonym. Then there is Tarara (Daniel Krause), the Public Exploder, whose function seems to be standing at the ready to blow up the king in case he rebels. The three men have a good thing going until the king’s eldest daughter, Princess Zara (Laura S. J. Barrows), returns from England after studying the ways of the British Empire. She is accompanied by the “Flowers of Progress,” English gentlemen of high esteem (Thomas Hall, Anthony Moresi, Susanna Mills, John Rohm and Reid Ripley), who have grand ideas for how to improve Utopia — including making each person

a limited liability company. One of the gentlemen is Captain Fitzbattleaxe (Cameron Liljekvist), Princess Zara’s true love. Meanwhile, the king pines for Lady Sophy (Emma Jani Redman Hall), the prim English governess charged with molding the mischievous young Princesses Nekaya and Kalyba (Emilie Joy Lethcoe and Rosa Beltran) into proper Victorian ladies. Gilbert and Sullivan are the real mischief makers here, as they take aim at political quirks and imperialistic notions. In the end, however, love conquers all. The production’s highlights include the Flowers of Progress’ tamborine-tapping rendition of “Society Has Quite Forsaken.” Standouts in the cast include the very funny Hall and Goldstein, who are a delight to watch. Others include Barrows, Liljekvist, Redman Hall, Lethcoe, Beltran and Moresi. Rounding out the endearing ensemble are Sabrina Boggs, Sydney Bowers, Jim Bukowski, Janice Dallas, Samantha Green and Natalie Taylor. The production is accompanied by a live orchestra, directed by Zach Spencer and including Art Gibson, Jeremy Benner, Donna Accardo, Paola Aquilar, Mike Munson and Rhondda Dayton. Creating a world that transitions between island paradise and Victorian parlor are set director/designer, artist and builder Jeremy Hanes, scenic artist Amanda Benjamin, set builders Ron Dallas and Kent Bower, light designer Jim Didderich, light tech Lee Schaub-Green and sound designer John Pillsbury. Erin Heulitt dresses the cast in island garb and Victorian finery, while the enjoyable dance numbers are choreographed by Becky Masseth Castells. During these chilly last days of winter, the sunny setting and musical mischief of Utopia, Limited make the production a playful way to welcome in spring, VC theater-style. ✦ Utopia, Limited or The Flowers of Progress runs through March 24 at Theatre on the Hill, Hillcrest Center for the Arts, 403 W. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks. For tickets and more information, call 805-381-2747 or visit hillcrestarts.com.

Strong and soft The deliberately fluid freak folk of Towse

Towse

is many things. “It’s an old word with origins in the British Isles,” says Ojai-based musician Grace Fellows. “It has a few meanings, but mainly tough or the ridge of a hill.” It is also Towse, a pop music collective led by Fellows. FLUID DYNAMICS “I originally chose the name because of the influence that British Isles folk music has had on me as a musician and because I liked how it feels strong and soft at the same time,” says Fellows. She adds that she was “specifically looking for a name that could work for a group or solo act.” Which brings us to what it means to be Towse. The answer is deliberately and wonderfully fluid. “The number of members isn’t always set and people have joined and left without a lot of drama,” says Fellows. “We come together to create the vision of music I have and we make together, and that vision can often change as members influence each other.” Fellows was inspired to follow this type of model by the “super awesome” wild Up, a Los Angeles chamber music/new music collective. Towse is sometimes a solo act. But more often than not, Fellows is joined by other musicians, including her brother, Lacy Shifflette,

— March 14, 2019

and her boyfriend, Christopher Hall. That’s because, as Fellows explains, “the music generally calls for a bigger sound.” That sound has often been described as “experimental pop” or “freak folk.” ARTSY INFLUENCE Some might say Towse has a Cal Arts sound, referring to the California Institute of the Arts. “It has a particular quality,” she says.

GROWTH INDUSTRY Her goal is to keep growing, not just as an artist and performer, but as a person. “Growth is super important to me. I write a lot about it,” she says. “I’m looking at how I can be a better human being.” She adds that she wants to keep “getting better at being captivating as an artist. I always want to be better at playing my instrument.” Whether it’s Fellows on her own or with a band, she wants every Towse performance to “feel engaging in a way a conversation feels.” Recently Towse, that is Fellows, Shifflette and Hall, played at Namba Performing Arts Space in Ventura. The band (in its various configurations) also performs regularly at Greater Goods in Ojai, which Fellows calls “the band’s home.” Change, Towse’s new album, can be found on towse.bandcamp.com and the video for “This Is Love” can be seen on YouTube. Seeing Towse perform in person is the real treat. There is a sweetness and a fearlessness to Towse’s music that pulls you in. Its sound is indeed both soft and strong. Fellows sings the truth with a catchy beat. F That’s what it means to be Towse. Follow Towse on Instagram @towselikehouse and find the band’s music at towse.bandcamp.com

odi Farrell’s Music Studio hosted a Performance Workshop on Saturday, March 9, at Namba Performing Arts Space in Downtown Ventura. It was an opportunity for vocal students to strut their stuff on the stage before an audience, with live musical accompaniment (provided by pianist Ron Barnett) and valuable feedback from Farrell herself. The workshop included JFMS singers Lainey Brown, Katie Fitz-Gerald and Emily De La Cruz, as well as musical theatre performers Julia Lopez and Kirra Anderson (who study under Alissa Strople) and Gwen Okinaga (a student of Laura Covault). Watching young and emerging talent bloom in the spotlight (with a little help and guidance from an experienced mentor) made for a truly inspiring and entertaining afternoon.

“It’s energetic and rhythmically it changes a lot.” Fellows graduated from Cal Arts in 2017 when she was just 19. It was a path she didn’t necessarily envision for herself. She was attending Ventura College when her violin professor encouraged her to go on to study music at a four-year college. “I said, ‘I’m not going to college because there’s no college with a pop music program.’ ” To which her professor responded, “Oh, yes, there is,” and pointed her towards Cal Arts. “I was so young that it was important to

have a place that would let me explore,” she explains. Cal Arts was a perfect fit. There, Fellows studied all kinds of music, from pop and classical to atonal and experimental. Even before college, music was a big part of her life. Folk and classical music were major influences. “We’d listen to John Prine on car trips,” Fellows remembers. When she was about 2 years old, she would tag along to her older brother’s piano lessons. When Fellows was 3, her parents gave her a toy violin. She started playing the real thing when she was 4 and later joined the Ojai Youth Symphony. Fellows began to write and perform her own songs in middle school. “I remember that shift when it began to feel personal,” she says. “It was super humbling and overwhelming, in a good way.” Fellows realized that art, especially performing, was what she wanted to do.

the ecological importance of sharks. I think I also stress the sheer diversity of sharks. There are in excess of 500 species of sharks. Only a handful of them have ever bitten a human. The bulk of shark species pose no danger to us whatsoever. When you say “sharks,” most people think of great whites and tiger sharks and bull sharks — but there all these incredible, fascinating animals that don’t pose any threat to us and that nobody has ever even heard of. I also highlight their incredible beauty. They’re these perfect predators that have evolved into these magnificent animals that are also incredibly beautiful when you see them and encounter them underwater for the very first time. The real star of all these shows are the images — the images of the sharks themselves. Nothing beats actually seeing the images or the videos on a giant screen. Having the person who made those images, on stage, engaging with you gives the audience a completely different perspective that’s much more awe-inspiring and also much more personal. And, hopefully, much more memorable, in the end.

Date:_______________________________ Signature: __________________________

Is there one misconception about sharks that persists — and is there a misconception that you see vanishing?

In the last two decades or so, the overarching myth that sharks are cold-blooded, mindless man-eaters — a myth that was incredibly prominent 20 years ago — has really become a minority view in many ways. The media and the information, the sheer volume of shark media and shark imaging coming out that’s attached to positive messages, has really shifted that mindset. Sharks have become a marine conservation icon. When it comes to sharks, I really want to transform fear into fascination, and hate into awe.

A real bag of tricks tjpompey@gmail.com Greta Directed by Neil Jordan Starring: Isabelle Huppert, Chloë Grace Moretz, Maika Monroe Rated R for some violence and disturbing images 1 hr., 38 mins.

ou know a film is in trouble when you can guess the outcome based on the bait. In this case, a handbag left on a New York subway. When you can guess the story before the cover’s been blown, you know it’s going to be a long night. Such is the case with Greta. Despite a great cast, the premise is about as predictable as a subway schedule. This is not to say that there isn’t drama or suspense or even a few surprises, but they aren’t enough to keep this production beyond the mundane. It may be based in New York City, but the production feels much more small time. Frances McCullen (Chloë Grace Moretz) lives with her friend Erica Penn (Maika Monroe) in an upscale apartment in New York City. Frances is recovering from the death of her mother to cancer. Her relationship with her workaholic father, Chris McCullen (Colm Feore), is also strained. Frances works as a waitress in a tony restaurant. While headed home from work, she spots a purse that someone has left on the train. Trying to be a good citizen, she pulls the driver’s license and finds the address of Greta Hideg (Isabelle Huppert). When she returns the purse, the two women strike up a friendship. Greta is a piano teacher who is lonely. Her daughter is in Europe and her husband has died. It feels as if Frances and Greta have a bond to share and, much to the consternation of a suspicious Erica, Frances spends less time with her friends and more time getting to know Greta. That is, until Frances discovers that Greta has a series

But the separation of those two spaces isn’t perfect. Our bench seat against the wall was comfortable but loud: Noise from the bar carries over into the rest of the room. The upscale decor has a new menu to match: homemade pastas, seafood dishes, braised short ribs and brined pork chops. The appetizers are also enticing: popcorn with togarashi seasoning (a mix of cayenne, ginger, nori, Szechuan pepper and other spices), Vietnamese chicken wings, Cubano sliders. I was impressed by the eclectic wine and beer lists, a mix of intriguing options sprinkled in with the usual suspects.

food options, but with so many items blocked out, the menu resembled a CIA document. The restaurant was out of togarashi seasoning, the chicken wings were no longer “an homage to Pok Pok” (a reference to the famous Portland eatery) and there were no tagliatelle or charcuterie platter, either. So, we settled for the dry-rubbed wings, the beet dip, pappardelle sugo and wild halibut. The results were a mixed bag. There were certainly high points. The homemade pasta was excellent. With thick, tender noodles cooked to perfection and a rich, meaty tomato sauce, it was delicious, hearty and warming; perfect for winter. We were also big fans of the beet dip (served with pita bread points). Deceptively simple, it was made with freshly cooked beets pureed to a creamy consistency and garnished with sesame seeds and bright yellow turmeric-laden labneh (Greek yogurt). The sweet, smooth vegetables, crunchy seeds and tangy yogurt all came together to create a dish that was light yet as flavorful as it was beautiful. Good — but not fantastic — were the wings. It’s a shame that the Vietnamese option isn’t being offered anymore, because the simpler version was a little dull. The skin was nice and crisp, with hints of pepper, paprika and garlic, and the meat was tender and juicy, but I craved more flavor. It came with an herbed buttermilk dressing made in house, but that was a bit bland as well. The halibut was, frankly, disappointing. I liked the roasted Romanesco and carrots, and the fish was fresh, but it and the carrot ginger puree (which sounded really good) were underseasoned and lacking in flavor. Our server (who I’d like to note was very knowledgeable and attentive) had recommended the short rib. I should have listened. The Shores isn’t the first bar to strive for something more gourmet (Oak and Main in Ventura comes to mind). But that transition isn’t as simple as a new coat of paint and a few entrees. The chef has to deliver something on par with what diners will find at more reputable establishments. Based on my meal, The Shores still has a ways to go. But there’s definitely some potential here, and I look forward to seeing what the next wave might bring. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

The coming weeks might be a good time to acquire a flamethrower. It would come in handy if you felt the urge to go to a beach and incinerate mementoes from an ex-ally. It would also be useful if you wanted to burn stuff that reminds you of who you used to be and don’t want to be any more; or if you got in the mood to set ablaze symbols of questionable ideas you used to believe in but can’t afford to believe in any more. If you don’t want to spend $1,600+ on a flamethrower, just close your eyes for ten minutes and visualize yourself performing acts of creative destruction like those I mentioned.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Taurus aphorist Olivia Dresher writes that she would like to be “a force of nature,” but “not causing any suffering.” The way I interpret her longing is that she wants to be wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure — all the while without inflicting any hurt or damage on herself or anyone else. In accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, that’s a state I encourage you to embody in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling extra smart—which I suspect you will — you could go even further. You may be able to heal yourself and others with your wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure energy.

by rob brezsny

— and remedy that problem.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Philip Boit was born and raised in Kenya, where it never snows except on the very top of Mount Kenya. Yet he represented his country in the crosscountry skiing events at the Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. How did he do it? He trained up north in snowy Finland. Meanwhile, Kwame NkrumahAcheampong competed for Ghana in the slalom in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Since there was no snow in his homeland, he practiced his skills in the French Alps. These two are your role models for the coming months, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to achieve success in tasks and activities that may not seem like a natural fit.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

In the process of casting for his movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher considered selecting A-list actress Scarlet Johansson to play the heroine. But ultimately he decided she was too sexy and radiant. He wanted a pale, thin, tougher-looking actress, whom he found in Rooney Mara. I suspect that in a somewhat similar way, you may be perceived as being too much something for a role you would actually perform quite well. But in my astrological opinion, you’re not at all too much. In fact, you’re just right. Is there anything you can do — with full integrity — to adjust how people see you and understand you without diluting your brightness and strength?

your attention, Virgo, because I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something different from what you’re searching for. Like the treasure Lawes located, it might even be more valuable than what you thought you wanted.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover,” wrote author James Baldwin. “If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” To fully endorse that statement, I’d need to add two adverbs. My version would be, “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to kindly and compassionately make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you Libras enthusiastically adopt that mission during the coming weeks. With tenderness and care, help those you care about to become aware of what they’ve been missing—and ask for the same from them toward you.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Wompsi’kuk Skeesucks Brooke is a Native American woman of the Mohegan tribe. According to her description of Mohegan naming traditions, and reported by author Elisabeth Pearson Waugaman, “Children receive names that are descriptive. They may be given new names at adolescence, and again as they go through life according to what their life experiences and accomplishments are.” She concludes that names “change as the individual changes.” If you have been thinking about transforming the way you express and present yourself, you might want to consider such a shift. 2019 will be a favorable time to at least add a new nickname or title. And I suspect you’ll have maximum inspiration to do so in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

For many of us, smell is our most neglected sense. We see, hear, taste, and feel with vividness and eagerness, but allow our olfactory powers to go underused. In accordance with astrological omens, I hope you will compensate for that dearth in the coming weeks. There is subtle information you can obtain—and in my opinion, need quite strongly— that will come your way only with the help of your nose. Trust the guidance provided by scent.

ient. The downside? None. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt the antifragile approach in the coming weeks.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

In 2014, NASA managed to place its MAVEN spacecraft into orbit around Mars. The cost of the mission was $671 million. Soon thereafter, the Indian government put its own vehicle, the Mangalyaan, into orbit around the Red Planet. It spent $74 million. As you plan your own big project, Pisces, I recommend you emulate the Mangalyaan rather than the MAVEN. I suspect you can do great things — maybe even your personal equivalent of sending a spacecraft to Mars — on a relatively modest budget. Homework: Upon waking up for the next seven mornings, sing a song that fills you with feisty, glorious hope.

Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your child. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 05/08/2019, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon as counsel can be heard in Courtroom J1 of this Court at Juvenile Justice Center 4353 Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA 93036. YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED as follows: At the hearing the Court must choose and implement one of the following permanent plans for the child: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 05/08/2019, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. 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. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint counsel for you. A thirty-day continuance may be granted if necessary for counsel to prepare the case. At all termination proceedings, the Court shall consider the wishes of the child and shall act in the best interest of the child.

After making such an order, the Court shall have no power to set aside, change, or modify it, but this shall not be construed to limit the rights to appeal the order. If the Court, by order or judgment, declares the child free from the custody and control of both parents, or one parent if the other no longer has custody and control, the Court shall, at the same time, order the child referred to the licensed County adoption agency for adoptive placement by that agency.

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.
