OPINION

Editor’s Note

Teenage aggression and provocation

n 2008, Brandon McInerney, 14, a student at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, after months of frustrating encounters, decided he would handle a problem the best way he believed he should. On Feb. 12, 2008, Brandon walked into class, sat behind Larry King, 15, an out gay teenager who had harassed Brandon, pulled the trigger and then walked out. In 2011, Brandon was sentenced for murder for 21 years in state prison. He currently resides in another prison out of state. There is impenetrable notion that we must never look at a victim’s actions, those who were hurt or killed, to see what happened to get to this horrendous, even fatal place, aka victim blaming. But also, we must never consider what sort of pressure aggressive, even violent teens are under to better understand their actions and reactions. With that, there is a memorial for Larry, Brandon is forgotten by most and the story is over. It is a wonder, however, why we do not consider that Brandon saw that his vice principal and his teacher were encouraging Larry’s behavior and perhaps Brandon realized he couldn’t take that path of going to school officials to resolve the issue. Instead, we as a society labeled Brandon as a murderer and bigot and a person we would rather have rot away with all the other murderers and such rather than ever take any responsibility that Brandon’s actions were at least in part a result of other people’s actions and possibly a sense of feeling trapped. It is easy enough and practically cliché to argue that violence and murder are indefensible but if we want apparent senseless violence to stop in the future maybe we need to consider much more than the crime itself. Why is there such little consideration for the disposition and long lives each party has had and then not respect any sort of boundaries? We are condemning violent people, especially young people, without any true weight given to what brought them there. But I digress. The last few weeks have been hard for kids in Ventura County and last year didn’t look a whole lot better. On Monday, March 25, Foothill Technology High School in Ventura was first on lockdown and then evacuated upon investigation into a “very vague” bomb threat. No bomb was found. Students returned to class. On Friday, March 22, a 16-year-old was arrested on campus at Buena High School in Ventura for making threats of a school shooting and there was evidence to corroborate that threat, whatever that may entail. No mention of a gun found. On Feb. 9, a 16-year-old student stole concessions at a basketball game in Thousand Oaks and when a school employee chased him down to his car, the student ran over the employee, who was then rushed to the hospital in critical condition. In court, the student was charged with a felony assault, though his attorney, Ron Bahmieh, stated the student “had a ‘great deal of remorse’ for the victim,

but a lot of what contributed to the incident was inexperience and panic.” The DA didn’t agree, calling his actions as “plowing down” the victim and were considering trying him as an adult. Last August, a young man who was in therapy discussing his imaginations of shooting up a school in Ventura was blasted on social media after his therapist relayed concerns to law enforcement, per the status quo but an unknown person with the Santa Paula Police Department decided to make his private musings public, breaking confidence out of fear for safety than any consideration for the young man who was in therapy for his issues. It is a sad plight to watch a world starting to combust in on itself because we as individuals and as a community refuse to accept any responsibility for the suffering of others, especially when we do the inflicting or ignore a problem. When the violence continues, we yell about the good intent of government and nonprofit programs and then throw more money at the same tired stuff but we refuse to see that we are doing it wrong even as things get worse. Maybe we should do the exact opposite to turn the ship around. The solutions to gun violence at the Task Force of Mental Health and Safety meeting last week with the Ventura County Board of Supervisors addressing the Borderline tragedy: restrict gun access and offer better mental health treatment options. What novel ideas! Can’t they see the Second Amendment created paranoia and millions of people won’t be giving up their guns and therapy isn’t working? And so I share this with you, we are hurting in serious ways because we don’t respect one another, we fail to communicate about the source of the lack of respect, we presume we always know best and then when it’s all bundled up we have to act calm and civilized at every turn. And our kids are screaming for help! Even Amy Alkon, Advice Goddess, this week writes about how the body physically responds to verbal attacks: An attack is an attack — which is to say, a verbal attack triggers the same bodily responses as a physical attack. Your adrenaline surges, your heart pumps like crazy and blood gets shunted away from your reasoning center and to your extremities. We are hurting as a society because there is an obvious lack of enduring love and we also have very limited ways to express ourselves that doesn’t label us as crazy. But the jig is up. People are trying to survive and they are speaking their minds, they are freely expressing. The freedom of expression to air our frustrations in ways that do not literally physically hurt an innocent person is important. Being accountable for the things we say that can and do provoke others to action is critical. There are only so many warning signals especially among teens who may be feeling trapped that can alert a person. Be nice because you don’t know who you

are dealing with! If he or she isn’t smiling about your approach then back off. Instead of ignoring, ostracizing or criminalizing teens that vent violent thoughts, maybe we should start talking to them about why they feel that way with no judgement involved. It’s a sad time when creative thinkers give up on life when the criticism is so unreasonable that they literally can’t go on. For others, many people forced to sit at a desk all day and keep their opinions to themselves enjoy things like batting cages, MMA, punk rock shows and even a rage room, now open in LA. We are mobile creatures and we were very violent along the way to this day and now not only can’t we go to a rage room without criticism, we are told to suppress violent thoughts and definitely not talk about them despite serious ongoing frustrations. We are supposed to just say and do nothing. It’s completely unreasonable and impossible to expect no reaction all the time out of everyone. When we see someone get out of line, say hurtful things, hurt a person in a panic, etc., then it’s limited rights and mobility for a lifetime and the “victim” is never expected to be held accountable for anything he or she said or did. It’s truly an astonishing justice and political system that endorses zero accountability for provoking undesired behavior. I do, however, have faith that things can and will change because getting worse is getting worse no matter how you slice it. I am fully cognizant that this editor’s note will offend some but it’s time to let the other side have a voice. Context is important. Division kills us.

Storage wars Ventura Harbor fishermen concerned long-time storage facility will shutter while they’re away by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

s squid fishermen and lobster trappers prepare for the next phase in their annual relocation from Ventura to northern waters in search of seasonal fish, the fate of a long-time storage location is in the air, leaving captains to wonder if they’ll have a place to store supplies until their return. The facility, known as the Ventura Harbor Commercial Fisherman’s Storage, sits on land owned by Ventura Harbor Storage, LLC., which has a ground lease with the Ventura Port District. The District holds a sub-lease with Harbor Boat & Storage, which acts as landlord and has managed the property for 25 years. Come June, the lease will expire and fishermen are worried that it won’t be renewed before they have to leave for the season within the next few weeks. The property owner has asked that the District replace up to half of 80 containers that have corroded in the marine environment and to repave an asphalt parking lot as stipulations for a lease renewal. Several local fishermen and lobster trappers let the Ventura Harbor Board of Port Commissioners know of their anxiety at a board meeting held on Wednesday, March 20. Without the storage, they collectively agreed, it will be exceedingly difficult to continue operations out of the Ventura Harbor. Forty-four fishing boats store lobster pots, nets and other gear at the storage facility. Of these, 35 solely capture squid. Squid fishermen utilize purse seine vessels, deploying massive nets to capture squid by the ton. When squid season is over, the fishermen require a large storage area to keep and mend their nets. If the June 30 deadline is reached without an agreement, the fishermen attending the board meeting said that they would need to know no later than mid-April so that arrangements can be made. Oscar Peña, general manager of the Ventura Port District, says that negotiations are currently underway and that he expects a deal to be reached within the next two months, though it can be complicated with three parties involved. “I know it’s starting to get very close to their deadline but I don’t think they have anything to worry about,” said Peña. When the lease was first realized in the mid-1990s, the California State Coastal Conservancy awarded a grant to the Port District for approximately $150,000 to purchase containers and to provide fencing and improvements on the property for fishermen to utilize. Peña says that in 2018, the District met with the Conservancy at the property and was encouraged to request additional funding. Peña says that the District is currently working on an application for a $200,000 grant through the Conservancy to be submitted in August when next the Conservancy meets, several months after the lease expiration. “That’s really the only challenge at this point, but the Port District is committed to making those improvements and we’ll certainly work out with Ventura Harbor Storage in a new lease some obliga-

tion to assure them that those improvements will be made for the mutual benefit of the commercial fishermen,” said Peña. Mike Wagner, owner of Andria’s Seafood and long-time Ventura Harbor businessman, says that he only learned of the upcoming deadline four weeks ago, after a commercial lobster trapper informed him. Wagner says that they, too, weren’t well informed of the matter. “Sam from across the harbor made that statement when he got up and talked at the Board Meeting that they have known about this problem for over a year and nobody did anything about it until the 11th hour, which is where we are now,” said Wagner. Wagner says that many of the fishermen who use the facility are currently in Washington, Oregon and traveling to Alaska for the upcoming season and that they aren’t aware of the current situation. “You have guys who are offsite who have gear stored here and don’t even know that there is a problem because the Port District has never told them that the lease is going away and that they may have to move their gear,” said Wagner. Jean Getchell, port commissioner and secretary, visited the facility in early March to better understand the situation. Getchell says that the commercial fishermen at the harbor are important for many reasons and that she hopes the situation is resolved sooner rather than later. “They’re a really important economic partner in the harbor. I recognize that, and as I continue to tell people, you can have dinner anywhere in town, but you can’t sail along Main Street,” said Getchell. Another issue regarding storage is the lack thereof. Should the lease not be renewed or the property be converted into something other than storage, alternative storage options are few and far between. Getchell says that a location on Ventura Avenue had been considered in the worst-case scenario — but with it being several miles from the harbor, transporting to and from the facility would be difficult for fishermen who may not have the proper vehicles to do so. Between the Port of Hueneme, the Channel Islands Harbor and even in Santa Barbara, few, if any, storage facilities exist that could compare to the Ventura Harbor location. Peña says that the District is “all in” to come up with an agreement between the three parties involved. “We are going to reach a successful conclusion in getting a new lease with them primarily because we’ve been their tenant for the last 25 years and it’s worked really well for that organization, worked really well for the Port District and worked well for the commercial fishermen,” said Peña. Wagner stressed the importance commercial fishing has on not only the harbor, but the entire city of Ventura, citing economic output known as a multiplier effect. “One million dollars of fish is worth $6 million to the city of Ventura,” said Wagner, noting that fishermen shop locally when using the Ventura Harbor’s facilities. “That’s how this multiplier works and how valuable it is to the community and most ✦ people don’t even realize that.”

In Brief UNITED WAY VENTURA COLLECTS DONATIONS FOR VICTIMS OF NEW ZEALAND TERROR ATTACK

Donations have poured in from around the globe, including from here in Ventura County via the United Way, for the victims of the New Zealand mosque terror attack, which left 50 dead in the city of Christchurch. United Way of Ventura County president and CEO Eric Harrison shared a message from United Way New Zealand CEO Teresa Moore on the incident, which occurred on Friday, March 15, at two separate mosques in the city. “There are many people who are affected by this horrific act of violence in Christchurch,” wrote Moore. “United Way NZ will work to ensure ALL donations go to the charities and community groups providing ongoing post-traumatic support for the victims, families and community.” Donations will assist community groups working overtime in Christchurch, refugees and English-language learners who help assimilate people into New Zealand, and groups who provide food and resources for post-trauma support, among others.

CASITAS SPRINGS RECEIVES GRANT FOR FORTIFYING HOMES AGAINST FLOODING

Flood protection is coming to 56 Casitas Springs homes by way of a $7 million project. The hazard mitigation infrastructure project will reroute flood waters, sediment and debris from the Fresno Canyon watershed to the Ventura River via a debris basin in Fresno Canyon upstream of Highway 33 as well as a new concrete storm drain channel and a 12-foot diameter concrete pipe under the highway to the Ventura River. The project will be funded by a $5 million Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, as well as $2 million from non-federal sources. Homes near the confluence of Fresno Canyon and the Ventura River have historically flooded due to debris clogging the community’s undersized storm drainage system. FEMA says that the project will take 36 months to complete once construction begins.

LOCAL LEADERS RECOGNIZED AS OCEAN CHAMPIONS

Assemblywoman Monique Limón and State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, both D-Santa Barbara, have been recognized by the Monterey Bay Aquarium for their California coastal leadership. The 2019 Ocean Champion Awards recognizes state leaders who act on environmental issues concerning the California coast. Limón and Jackson were honored for their response to the 2018 federal action to open state waters for oil and gas exploration. Limón co-authored AB 1775, which prohibited the State Lands Commission from approving new leases for pipelines that would support federal oil and gas development on offshore platforms. Jackson introduced the companion bill to AB 1775, SB 834. “California has become a beacon of hope for the nation, and for the world,” said Aquarium Executive Director Julie Packard. “Our state is living proof that environmental and economic health are inextricably linked.”

FIRE SAFETY GRANTS AVAILABLE IN VENTURA COUNTY

Community projects looking for a financial boost may want to apply for a California Fire Safe Council and Edison International grant in support of such endeavors. Edison International, parent company of Southern California Edison, will provide the grant to approved applicants within the SoCal Edison service area for projects such as community outreach and preparedness and permit-ready hazardous fuel reduction projects. “The wildfire threat in Southern California is year-round,” said Amber Gardner, CFSC Clearinghouse Administrator. “CFSC is pleased to work with Southern California Edison to provide small grants for community fire prevention and preparedness projects.” Grants max out at $25,000 and are not open to individuals or for-profit entities. Applications will be accepted through April 15. To learn more and to apply for a grant, visit cafiresafecouncil.org.

SANTA PAULA MAN MURDERED OVER WEEKEND

A 27-year-old Santa Paula man was declared dead at the Ventura County Medical Center following a gunshot wound in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 23. At approximately 3:30 a.m., Santa Paula Police responded to a report of a gunshot victim on the 100 block of Felkins Road, where they found the victim. Police say that upon investigating, it was determined that a report of a shooting incident earlier in the night on the 500 block of Acacia Road is where the victim was shot, after which he drove himself to Felkins Road. A person of interest has been detained as the investigation continues. Officers are asking that anyone with information call Detective Dan McCarthy at 805-525-4474, ext. 282. — Chris O’Neal

Southern California Edison representatives greeted him with the news that he had won a $40,000 college scholarship as an Edison Scholar to advance his dream to become an electrical engineer and to improve electrical infrastructure in impoverished communities globally. DAVID PULIDO “My goal is ultimately to help. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) is the way of the most amount of impact,” David said. He was made aware of the scholarship opportunity when other Oxnard High School students won a scholarship last year and decided he would enter, given he was now a high school senior. He said he may pursue his engineering degree at the University JORGE ACEVEDO of Michigan, though he hasn’t made a solid decision which college is right for him just yet. Senior Jorge Acevedo of Fillmore High School also learned he received a $40,000 scholarship on Tuesday, March 26. He is a standout track and field and cross country athlete who plans to dedicate his studies in computer science to building technology that helps people maintain and achieve their fitness-related goals. Jennifer Carrillo and Naomi Summers from Oxnard High School were both 2018 Edison Scholars. ✦ To learn more about SCE scholarships, go to edisonscholars.com.

High cost of cheap food Sustainable ag expert shares insight on consequences of industrial farming by Michael Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

ased in the Upper Great Plains of North Central Montana on his family farm, Bob Quinn is anything but the standard farmer. He has dedicated much of his energy and passion into organic, sustainable, regenerative farming, so much so that he established Kamut International, Ltd., which “serves to protect the grain from being hybridized or modified in any way.” He doesn’t just preach it, he lives it. Quinn has witnessed too many consequences of industrial farming and the use of pesticides to remain quiet. On his blog, Bob Quinn Organic Farmer (bobquinnorganicfamer.com), he shares his deep insight into these issues. He also just published Grain by Grain: A Quest to Revive Ancient Wheat, Rural Jobs, and Healthy Food with coauthor Liz Carlisle. Quinn will speak tonight, March 28, at the Patagonia store in Ventura (235 W. Santa Clara St., Ventura), 5:45-7:45 p.m. Quinn shared with us some of his vast knowledge of sustainable farming.

VCReporter: How have things been evolving for better and worse in agriculture? Quinn: Since WWII, the giant corporations played an increasing role in supplying chemical inputs to the farmers or controlling the commodity markets where most sell their grain. Farmers were taught to look at their farms as factories and their production as commodities. They were told

to focus on feeding the plants and produce as high a yield as possible without counting the input costs or the net profits. The multinational giants had no reason to own land or operate farms. They were very content to let farmers do that and take all the risks while they extract all the wealth they could from the farmers. They sell them inputs for as much as the market will bear while other giants buy the harvest for as little as possible. All this is done with very little exposure of these giant nonfarm corporations to all the hard work of farming as well as the risks of weather, insects, disease and weeds, which plague farmers everywhere. This extraction of wealth from the rural community reaches a crises stage when commodity prices are low and input cost for chemicals, fuel and machinery remain high. When the costs of inputs exceed the income from production, farmers begin the trek toward bankruptcy. The large input giants couldn’t care less about the havoc they are creating when they suck up not only the investments in growing crops but also the investments in the land when expenses exceed the income for the landowners. Once that land investment is spent on chemicals, and that famer goes broke, they know that there will be another new farmer to take his place. The new farmer will invest new capital into the farm, which starts the cycle all over again.

Love, joy of life stronger than any disability for certain Ventura County couples BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

Kim Hudson-Hershey, with cerebral palsy, and Tom Hershey, not formally diagnosed but has similar health issues as cerebral palsy, first met 25 years ago and rekindled their friendship into a relationship in 2015.

ith March recognized as National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, it’s a good time to reflect on couples with disabilities who have an unconditional love that comes from the same emotions, needs and desires for romance and companionship as couples without disabilities. “Their romantic and personal relationships are just as varied as those of individuals without disabilities, and their relationship struggles reflect the same multitude of personalities, needs and aspirations that we see among couples without disabilities,” said Lori Anderson, president and Chief Executive Officer of United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties (UCPLA).

This is true for Simi Valley couple Ismail and Cheryl Tsieprati, who celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary in 2018. Ismail, now 83, started experiencing his first symptoms of muscle pain and weakness in the 1960s, before he and Cheryl met. “In the late 1960s, a doctor prescribed a neck collar for pain and weakness in my neck,” remembered Ismail, who began experiencing weakness in his right arm in 1976 and, by 1980, “I was unable to hold my infant niece in my arms when posing for a family photo.” Seventeen years after he and Cheryl were married, Ismail was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. When he was first diagnosed, he was told that the average length of survival for people with this disease is two to five years. The disease attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and those afflicted lose their ability to move, speak and swallow, and eventually the ability to breathe, while all five senses continue to function normally. Ismail was working as a film and video editor, producer, director and writer at the time of his diagnosis. And when he lost the ability to move on his own, he continued to write, authoring a book, One Blink at a Time, with help from Cheryl. Ismail wrote the book one letter at a time, one word at a time, one sentence at a time, by blinking his eyes toward individual letters on an alphabet chart that Cheryl designed. In a recent interview, when asked what has kept his marriage to Cheryl so strong for so long, Ismail wrote: “I love my wife and enjoy being with her. She is my best friend and collaborator. I want to continue to be with her as long as I can.”

“WE ARE ONE ANOTHER’S ROCK”

The Tsieprati couple has kept their bond strong for the past 48 years “because we have as much respect and affection for one another as we did the day we were married,” said Cheryl, 72. Despite his illness, the pain he suffers every day and his physical limitations, Ismail continues to enjoy life and be upbeat, good-natured and loving, his wife said, further empha-

sizing, “We are one another’s rock.” When Ismail was first diagnosed, Cheryl feared his condition was “hopeless” and that he would die young. Still, “We made a pact to fight this battle together, do whatever we could to beat the odds and keep Ismail alive and happy for as long as we could,” she said. Decades later, “We continue to find love, hope and happiness in spite of our challenges and have refused to allow the limitations with which we live stop us from doing what we want to do.” Many people think that all couples who deal with disabilities have a difficult, unhappy life, “and they often pity them,” Cheryl said. In reality, she said, couples dealing with such challenges are much like other couples, who have their own unique set of obstacles, adding that “love, devotion and perseverance give couples the tools they need to maintain a strong, happy relationship and full, successful life.”

“THE COMMON DENOMINATOR”

In the presentations Cheryl gives to groups and organizations, she talks about how everyone faces adversity, and that a person’s reaction to those adversities can shape the future of his or her life. The title of her presentation is “Dancing in the Rain,” based on a quote by Vivian Green: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” “I share Ismail’s and my personal story and how, despite the challenges with which we live, Ismail and I continue to enjoy life and one another,” she said. While the general public might not see couples with disabilities out and about, many people with disabilities are involved in loving relationships and enjoy being out and about together, Cheryl noted. For instance, she and Ismail became friends with a man with ALS and his wife and one of his caregivers whom Cheryl initially met in a local coffee shop. “Despite his being in a wheelchair and on a ventilator, the three of them visited the coffee shop often and enjoyed going to

many other places together,” Cheryl said. The Tsiepratis have also become friends with another man and his wife who attended a fundraiser Ismail and Cheryl gave at a local restaurant for the ALS Association a few years ago. “He had been recently diagnosed with ALS at that time,” Cheryl recalled. “This couple is always out and about and recently took a cruise and a trip to New York. The common denominator in both of these couples is a strong, loving relationship and a determination to enjoy life as much as possible and do things together.”

COUPLES WITH VARIED ABILITIES ARE LIKE OTHER COUPLES

Although individuals with disabilities who choose to be in relationships do have unique challenges, these obstacles are often societal, rather than specific to the individuals themselves, Anderson said. For instance, Anderson noted that many individuals with developmental disabilities experience relatively limited opportunities for employment, education and socializing — the avenues many people of any ability use to find romance or meet a significant other. Individuals who live with intellectual or developmental disabilities must also deal with the issue of benefits when deciding whether to combine households with or marry a significant other, Anderson continued. “Just like with gaining employment, pursuing personal independence — in this case, to have a long-term relationship — in this arena can cause changes to or decreases in benefits (SSI, SSDI, etc.) that present challenges to living an independent lifestyle,” she said. As far as financial challenges are concerned for Cheryl and Ismail, they face many of the same financial challenges as other married couples. “We probably have some additional medical expenses such as medications and some medical supplies, but we are extremely fortunate that we do not have nearly as many challenges as some other couples faced with similar medical issues,” Cheryl said, adding “We have excellent medical insurance and we are in a special program that pays for Ismail’s nursing care.” Anderson said that other than challenges mentioned above, “which are a result of a society that has not yet achieved full inclusion,” she emphasized that couples with varied abilities are like other couples: “They seek love and companionship, they fight and make up, they find ways to cope with incompatibilities in their aspirations and lifestyles, and they support and love each other.” “We see this every day in UCPLA’s programs and services,

and we hope this reality continues to become more visible so the obstacles that face individuals and couples with disabilities can be removed from the path to living a limitless life that includes love, romance, and fulfilling relationships,” Anderson said.

REDEFINING ROMANCE

Born with cerebral palsy, Paul Nankivell spent 12 years writing his first book, Redefining Normal, and is now in the process of writing Redefining Romance, which is about people in wheelchairs seeking a romantic relationship. The 55-year-old Simi Valley resident believes the biggest myth about people who use wheelchairs is that they are “asexual and don’t desire romantic relations.” Additionally, “I’ve encountered quite a few people who think that people in wheelchairs are unable to have children.” While he cannot give a definitive answer about how common it is for people with disabilities to be involved in relationships, “based on my experiences, and reading about experiences from other wheelchair users, finding love is a lot harder for folks in wheelchairs than everybody PAUL NANKIVELL else.” He does believe that non-disabled people “have a very tough time finding ‘The One’ as it is,” however, “when you have to keep fighting people’s negative first impression about why you’re in a wheelchair, it can be difficult for potential romantic partners to see you as dateable.” As far as resolving issues and obstacles, just like able-bodied people, “each person is unique and has to find their own solutions,” Nankivell said. And, when it comes to intimacy, “I know that quite a few physically challenged men — and some women — travel to legal ‘spas’ in Nevada. That’s the only option for many physically challenged people.” The bottom line, he said, is that “each person is unique and has to find their own solutions.” “People with physical challenges can’t get caught up in the cultural obsession of finding ‘the’ person who completes them,” Nankivell further emphasized, adding that “finding someone that you are compatible with is hard for anyone these days.” “When you add a physical challenge on top of that, odds of finding companionship get significantly worse,” he said. “So . . . live your life and be happy and at peace in your own skin. And, if by chance a good person comes along someday, trust your instincts. Trust your heart. And, don’t fear the journey.”

KIM & TOM

Kim Hudson-Hershey has been active with UCPLA since age 4, when she started benefiting from the organization’s services. “Her engagement with our organization has grown into being a volunteer, donor and advocate,” said Amy Simons, UCPLA’s Chief Development Officer. “Whether through social work, advocacy or connecting people to resources, she has devoted herself to promoting full inclusion. Now with her blog (Love On Wheels) she and her husband, Tom, are furthering an important conversation about relationships, love and success as a couple.” Kim and Tom met at a party almost 25 years ago, dated for awhile, and went their separate ways. Tom then met someone else who he married in 2001, and when his wife passed away in 2015, he and Kim reconnected. “It was like meeting an old friend, and taking it further has been an incredible experience,” recalled Kim, 51, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and has a Master’s Degree in social work. Tom, 56, who has an MBA and works for the entertainment industry, is “small statured” and uses canes and an electric scooter to get around. “I have a whole basket of different anomalies; mostly like deformity and muscle control,” he said, noting that it’s similar to cerebral palsy, “although it’s not actually CP,” adding his exact diagnosis was never determined. Most people think that relationships between people with disabilities are “somehow different, inherently different, and they’re not that different,” Kim said. “There are some things you need to take into consideration, but every aspect of a good relationship between any two people is the same thing that we deal with — communication and shared values.” Tom believes general compatibility begins with starting as friends, then you develop a romantic relationship, “not unlike anyone else.” He further emphasized that “we both have patience for one anther because we have patience for ourselves in terms of our abil-

ity to get along, to be spontaneous, and in terms of our propensity about mishaps around the house.” This translates to empathy, Tom said, and “an understanding that it’s going to take me a little longer to get ready than an average ablebodied person.” In another example, “I can’t just jump in the car. We have to think ahead and think about logistics, that’s another layer.” Luckily, he said, “Kim and I both have patience . . . general self-awareness that we apply to the other person. It makes a big difference.” As far as day-to-day outings that able-bodied couples might take for granted are concerned, Kim remembered a recent Saturday night when they went to a restaurant they hadn’t visited in a long time. The space was very small, so Kim had to call ahead of time to make sure the restaurant was still wheelchair accessible, “because we both use mobility devices; I use an electric wheelchair and crutches and so does Tom.” They also had to make sure the restaurant had enough room for both of their devices, “and in this case the restaurant did not.” So the couple adjusted by preparing ahead of time: Kim used her crutches, and Tom parked their car as close to the restaurant as possible so she didn’t have to trek too far. “It just takes a little planning,” Tom said. “Not to say we don’t plunge into stuff sometimes, but we usually try to come up with the best option.”

“DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF”

As far as conflict and resolution is concerned — in other words, arguments — Kim and Tom re-emphasized they started out as friends with a lot of similar goals and aspirations, so they already “get along really well,” Kim said. “We agreed there are some things we’re not going to agree upon, so we compromise.” For instance, “Kim is very much a Democrat and I come from a more conservative take on things and we disagree on stuff,” Tom said. “I’m a liberal when it comes to social issues . . . but we’ll see each other’s points. We have some common ground between us; we can say we’re not going to come to a conclusion, but it’s not affecting our day-to-day. Other times, I’ll come to her side. So it’s a matter of communication and maturity.” Above all, Kim believes, “don’t sweat the small stuff. Fundamentally, I respect who he is; he’s his own person, I’m my own person. We have a right to differ as long as we’re respectful to one another.” Tom doesn’t believe they’re all that different from other couples who get along well. “We have the same ingredients — we’re just in different packages.”

“WE DISAGREE FROM TIME TO TIME”

Just like other married couples, Ismail and Cheryl do have arguments. “We both have strong personalities and opinions and, although we agree most of the time on most things, it is only normal that we disagree from time to time,” she said. Many people would assume that Ismail is at a disadvantage in these arguments because he is unable to talk, she said, “but those people have never experienced the chill of Ismail’s angry teethgrinding. He demands attention and respect by grinding his teeth loudly and persistently until he is allowed to finish saying his piece by blinking out every last word. Once we have each finished clearing the air and calmed down, we kiss and make up.” Looking back on nearly five decades of marriage, Cheryl said, “if someone had told me . . . that I would be Ismail’s caregiver for 30 years, I would have felt completely overwhelmed, but because Ismail and I traveled this journey one step at a time and tackled our challenges one problem at a time, the days and then the years passed, and here we are.” “Ismail and I have a strong sense of unconditional love, and I’m convinced that this has kept us going through the hardest times,” she added. “We find love, hope and happiness in spite of our challenges and continue to prosper and dream. We have both refused to allow the limitations with which we live stop us from doing what we want to do.”

People, places and things The Representational Art Conference brings artists, art lovers and experts to Ventura County by Karen Lindell

efore you potentially dismiss TRAC 2019: The Representational Art Conference as an exercise in academic pretension (because you aren’t sure what “representational art” is, or whether you want to confer about it), let Michael Pearce put your fears to rest. Representational art is simply “stuff that looks like stuff,” said Pearce, a California Lutheran University art professor, conference co-founder and champion of accessible art. Another term for “figurative art,” representational artwork features people, places and things that are easily recognizable: portraits, landscapes, wildlife paintings, still lifes, figurative sculptures. The art subject doesn’t have to be realistic; representational art also depicts fantasy and mythological characters, and trees that are purple (but still clearly trees). But representational art is not simplistic, either, often embodying complex symbolism and ideas. What it’s not is abstract or avant-garde. Pearce, a figurative painter, founded TRAC seven years ago because no one else was elevating representational art at the academic and critical level. He and former CLU art faculty member and painter Michael Lynn Adams organized the first TRAC in 2012. They brought the idea for a representational art conference to Chris Kimball, president of CLU, who agreed to support their proposal, and CLU became the host and principal funder of TRAC. The conference has been held almost every year since 2012, three times in Ventura, once in Miami, and last year in The Netherlands. The conference returns this year

to Ventura at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach, from Sunday, March 31, through Thursday, April 4. Pearce said respect for representational art was practically nonexistent during the 20th century, but “the art world has changed considerably.” The reasons vary — “some political, some aesthetic,” he said. “Lots of abstract and conceptual art was in response to world wars, and we’ve come a long way from world wars as a cultural influence.” He likes to use a recognizable but ethereal object to describe the current state of the art world: bubbles. “We’re living in a cultural bubble bath,” Pearce said. “You can find anything you want, some bubble of cultural interest. Modern art doesn’t rule the art world like it did in the 20th century. For people who like Thomas Kinkade and sentimental art, people who love pre-Raphaelite art, no one is stopping them.” The conference will be bursting with artists, scholars, art educators, museum curators, collectors and critics from around the world participating in panels, academic presentations and artist demonstrations. The public is invited as well, and an exhibition of art at the hotel will be open for free. Artists scheduled to demonstrate include fantasy artist Boris Vallejo; wildlife artist Julie Bell; sculptors Alicia Ponzio and Brian Booth Craig; and painters Teresa Oaxaca, Alexey Steele, Scott Prior and Pamela Wilson. Bell, who for many years has painted illustrations for fantasy and science fiction books and video games, is also known for her wildlife paintings. “Whether it’s a person or animal, I want you to

Do artists need both?” Perhaps one of the most intriguing speakers at TRAC will be someone who’s not an artist at all, but has spent years in a unique artistic pursuit. Tim Jenison, founder of the technology company NewTek, created early computer video production tools like DigiView and the Video Toaster®. But he is perhaps best known for his painstaking, years-long attempt to re-create Dutch master Johannes Vermeer’s painting “The Music Lesson” using optical tools. Jenison wanted to figure out how Vermeer painted so photorealistically in the 17th century, years before the invention of photography. He theorized that Vermeer used optical tools that were available at the time: lenses and mirrors. To test his idea, Jenison built a to-scale re-creation of Vermeer’s studio in a warehouse in Texas, then used a small mirror mounted on a stick to paint “The Music Lesson.” Jenison and his project were the subject of the 2013 documentary Tim’s Vermeer, written and directed by Teller and co-produced and –written by Penn Jillette, of the magical stage duo Penn and Teller. The project has been criticized by some who think Jenison is trying to suggest that anyone could create what Vermeer did with a simple mirror. “I’m not a painter, so it’s kind of a weird little hobby,” said Jenison, speaking on the phone from Tasmania. He said he is not interested in the modern philosophical divide between representational and nonrepresentational art. “I suppose there are factions among representational artists that would resent the idea of using optics; they basically revere the Golden Age artists,” Jenison said. “I’m just saying it’s possible to use optics and get similar results without train-

Here he is shown with his re-creation of Johannes Vermeer’s “The Music Lesson.” feel like you’re with that creature, that being,” she said. “In an abstract painting, which I appreciate as well, there’s a whole different reason for making the painting.” The conference speakers include Roger Dean, who created nearly all the album covers for the progressive rock band Yes; Chinese American artist Z.S. Liang, known for his paintings of Native Americans; and Corinna Wagner, author of Art and Soul: Victorians and the Gothic. This year’s conference will focus on the relationship between imagination and 21st-century representational art. The conference’s call for papers asked for submissions that address questions such as whether artists can be both representational and imaginative, how imagination is different from fantasy, and “left brain/right brain:

ing. My interest is not art history or theory; it’s a very technical question. If optics were around, how were painters using them?” Addressing the conference’s emphasis on imagination, Jenison said he believes “the modern attitude that technologists and artists are two different things is wrong. They are two sides of the same thing: It’s creative problem solving.” Representational art, then, is about solving stuff, too. ✦ TRAC 2019: The Representational Arts Conference 2019 takes place March 31-April 4 at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach, 450 E. Harbor Blvd., Ventura. Full-conference and day passes are available. For more information, visit www.trac2019.org.

Morgan James to bring bone-deep soul music (and more) to The Canyon

he pins on Morgan James’ map to a music career mark some highly random stops, and she’s run into eclectic visitors along the way. Idaho. Modesto. Juilliard. Broadway. Nina Simone and John Mayer. Berry Gordy. Prince. And, yes, even Maroon 5’s “Maps” has been part of the journey. Where did she end up? James is a successful singer-songwriter who trained in classical opera voice at Juilliard, performed on Broadway, then started a band and solo recording career as a soul and R&B artist. She’s known for her powerful voice (she can belt) and original music, along with covers of songs by artists like Simone, Jeff Buckley and, for her latest tribute, The Beatles’ entire White Album. She’s currently on her From White to Blue Tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the White Album and Joni Mitchell’s 75th birthday, in honor of Mitchell’s groundbreaking album Blue. James will perform songs from those albums, as well as her own music, on Saturday, March 30, at The Canyon in Agoura Hills. At heart, James is “a soul singer,” she said. “Even with my classical training and Broadway, what unites it all is my soulful voice. The music I write is soul music. All the music I am influenced by and cover has an element of soulfulness. I am in love with the roots of the blues, and that’s where I’m best.” James, who was born in Idaho and moved around a lot as a kid, found her musical soul at age 11 when her grandparents gave her a karaoke machine. “I sounded like an opera singer; I had this great, big adult voice coming out of a small

person,” she said. Her grandparents were impressed and began paying for singing lessons. James moved to Modesto when she was in junior high and got involved in choir and theater programs. Modesto, you might be surprised to hear, has a thriving school arts scene. “There’s a huge emphasis on music and theater there, with a lot of opportunities to get training,” she said. At age 14, James decided she wanted to go to the Juilliard School. “I wanted to be the next Barbara Cook, and in my mind that was the path,” James recalled.

How she got into Juilliard is a refreshing story of perseverance in light of the “Operation Varsity Blues” scandal. James said she was No. 1 on the wait list at Juilliard, and wouldn’t take no for an answer. She kept sending the admissions office letters, recommendations and other materials, until they agreed to add one more slot to the vocal program for her. Ironically, she ended up not liking Juilliard. She studied opera, which wasn’t really her thing; she couldn’t get the hang of foreign languages, or how seriously opera singers took themselves. After graduating, she decided to try

nightmoves HIGH ENERGY

pening up last week’s show at the Canyon with “Smacks of Euphoric Hysteria” and “Euthanasia Waltz” from the album Unorthodox Behaviour, Brand X seemed to pick up where it left off in 1976. Though the band has seen a number of lineup changes over the years, founding members John Goodsall on guitar and Percy Jones on bass have kept the Brand X legacy intact. They were joined by keyboardist Chris Clark and drummer Scott Weinberger for a high-energy performance of proggy jazz fusion . . . to the extreme delight of the mostly middle-aged shoegazers in the audience.

musical theater, for which she had no training (she auditioned anyway), and worked nonmusical jobs in New York City until she landed a role in 2010 on Broadway in The Addams Family. Additional Broadway stints included Godspell and Motown: The Musical. The Broadway routine reinforced her already-strong work ethic. “It’s the ultimate training ground,” she said. “Eight shows a week, with one day off, you must use your time wisely, and be in peak mental, physical and vocal shape. It’s how I’m able to tour with such intensity now.” While on Broadway, she decided to start her own band and played in clubs around New York City. She met record executive Berry Gordy Jr. while working in Motown: The Musical, and he became a mentor, introducing her to Doug Morris and L.A. Reid, which led to a record deal with Sony’s Epic Records. In 2014 she released her debut album, Hunter. The album included a cover of Prince’s “Call My Name,” endorsed and approved by Prince himself, that picked up radio play. James also developed a huge following when she started singing in videos by Postmodern Jukebox, the musical collective known for its retro covers of popular songs posted on YouTube as high-quality videos. As a solo artist she also has a strong presence on YouTube, with more than 141,000 subscribers. In 2017 she released Reckless Abandon, her first studio album as an independent artist. James said that although she’s partial to performing her own songs, “I mostly just love singing great music. A lot of people will cover songs they don’t like and make them better. I never try to make the song better. I step inside it and pay homage. I rely on my voice and pick a way to honor the melody.” She works closely with her husband, singersongwriter and guitarist Doug Wamble, who has produced and played on her albums and travels with her on tour. She said they plan to go to Memphis in June to record her next album. “It’s one of the big cities for soul and blues music,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to do something there.” One more pin to add to the musical map.

ag Continued from Page 7 Unfortunately, government does not lead, it follows. In recent years it has mostly followed the giant multinational companies which form the agricultural chemical industrial complex and big pharma. These groups have successfully controlled the direction of research which ensures the future is going their way as well as established significant government subsidies which enable farmers to buy more chemicals and citizens everywhere to buy more pills despite the increasing cost of each. There is now an unholy alliance which allows these giant companies great influence on the government no matter which party is in control. They influence the whole country with the rallying cry for cheap and plentiful food and federal health care programs. They claim their system is the only one that will feed the world. And they have been very successful at least as far as cheap food goes. Since 1941 the cost of food has dropped 61 percent while the cost of health care has increased 61 percent. This great increase in health care is one of the high costs we are all paying for cheap food.

How has regenerative organic farming grown over the years? How did the idea first come to be? In my mind organic ag that is not regenerative is just as incomplete as regenerative ag that is not organic. The founders of the organic movement more than a century ago envisioned organic as being regenerative by definition. In the early days, the regenerative idea was referred to as sustainable. In recent years, there has been an increase of industrial organic ag which was more of a substitution of organic inputs for chemical ones. This is at least a step in the right direction, but it is not a complete step into the spirit of the organic movement which focuses on soil health. Even though this group makes up a small minority

What are the best crops to grow in regenerative organic farming? Any crop which nourishes mankind and/ or the soil is the best crop to grow in regenerative organic farming. However, an organic monoculture is not sustainable. We must mimic the diversity we see in nature with extensive rotations on the farm in order for the organic system to be sustainable as well as renewable. ✦

who hold grudges against animals, worry not: The food is more than worthy of your time. Gone are the days of the Old West, spittoons replaced with chic modern, neon-sign hipness one might find in downtown LA (DTLA for the cool kids). Tall tables and sofas welcome you and your beverage of choice with a large open gathering space in the rear where in the evenings live music accompanies craft cocktails. At around noon on a Saturday, brunch was served and we eagerly hopped up to a tall table and ordered coffee and a Bloody Mary ($8). We perused the new menu and quickly landed on chips and guacamole, a classic standby, as we wrapped our heads around the thought of barbecue joint going vegetarian. Thrilled at the concept, we rubbed our hands together menacingly, waiting to see the looks on old regulars’ faces as they came through the doors. It didn’t seem to bother anyone, really, as the dining room slowly filled up with passersby having come from the farmers market, though we did hear, “Didn’t this place used to be a BBQ joint?” Of course, we had to try the Vegan Fried Chicken and Waffles ($14). The person or people who equated eating vegan with eating healthy has never watched me quaff a pound of French fries and a sleeve of Oreo’s at 11 p.m., and so of course, the chicken and waffles were right up my alley. Served with warm butter and thick syrup, the

meal came with enough to serve two. We also chose the Vegan Berry French Toast ($12) and, because we love carbs, a side of breakfast potatoes ($4). Saloon, through all of its makeovers, remains keenly adept at making everything they touch pretty. The French toast came loaded with berries, glistening from the syrup, dusted with a heavenly layer of powdered sugar. From the first melt-in-your-mouth bite, I was in love with this new Saloon. I watched my partner cut into the “chicken” cutlets, a thick, breaded faux-meat that, once sampled, proved a good facsimile. A vegan friend noted that she had to ask if it was real chicken — though, admittedly, she hadn’t had chicken in over a decade. Those more familiar with chicken will notice the difference but it’s hardly an issue. Coupled with the sticky syrup and the warm, thick waffle, the pair worked as well as any other meal with the same name. Before I receive angry emails with the subject, “bUt ItS noT CHiCkeN” please note that for as long as Taco Bell can call chicken flesh in the shape of a triangle a “Chip,” Saloon and anyone else can call whatever they want whatever they please. Also on the brunch menu were the required avocado toast ($8), the vegetarian breakfast sandwich ($10) with avocado, two eggs and a chipotle aioli, and breakfast tacos ($12) served with scrambled egg and vegan sausage, black beans, roasted-corn salsa and guacamole. One unchanged aspect of Saloon remains its cocktails, which on any given night is reason enough to visit. From the classic cocktail menu comes the Old Fashioned and its bourbon, sugar and bitters and the curious Tea Party featuring lavender tea vodka. You’ll also find a seasonal cocktail menu with such concoctions as the Ramona Flowers, a mixture of gin, vermouth and blue curacao, and for brunch, a Grapefruit Mojito ($13) or bottomless mimosas ($12). If anything, Saloon has become a place where anyone and everyone can pull up to the bar and find something that pleases them. Meat eater? Try the Soyrizo Mac and Cheese ($9) and tell me you miss the pork. For dinner, there are all manner of black bean burgers and plates including an interesting Moco Loco ($15), which I’ll have to try when I return. On the wall in the back, a neon sign designates the area as the Last Call Club. With Saloon’s new plant-based look, I hope it’s reached its own last call and chooses to stick with it for a while. ♦

hen director Jordan Peele shed his role as partner in the Comedy Central sketch comedy series Key & Peele, he hit the ground running with his directorial debut in 2017’s Get Out. In 2018, he became the first African American to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and the first African American to be nominated for producing, writing and directing in the same year. When you fly this high this fast, expectations are huge for the follow-up. How would he play it? Risky or safe? Comedy or more terror? Turns out he throws it all at us in a big wave of thought-provoking cinema. Big. Wave. As in Oahu’s North Shore. It’s 1986 in Santa Cruz and a young Adelaide (Madison Curry) wanders away from her family at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Along a deserted section of the pier she pops into a hall of mirrors and discovers that there is someone just like her staring back from the glass. In flashbacks, we discover that Adelaide was so frightened, she stopped talking and had to be placed in therapy. Present day, the Wilson family — father Gabe (Winston Duke), mother Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), daughter Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and son Jason (Evan Alex) — are taking a vacation in Santa Cruz. Adelaide is already nervous just being here. When Gabe suggests the family take a trip to the beach, she starts having flashbacks. When she finally agrees to go, the Wilsons meet up with friends Kitty Tyler (Elizabeth Moss), Josh Tyler

He is ambitious enough to probe human nature both on a visual and a psychological level. He wants to push the boundaries of the horror genre without forsaking his comedy roots. The result is a film that is multilayered, addressing racial and social issues, all while bludgeoning the audience with shocking violence and sharp comedy. He has a lot to say and two hours to say it. Get ready to be pelted. The problem is, how fast can you digest what’s coming at you? And do all these ideas clog up the story? You have to work hard in this movie, as he plays with themes like the old Hands Across America campaign, caged rabbits, Jeremiah 11:11, and an add-on about a secret government experiment gone awry with doppelgängers left to languish in underground tunnels.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Kermit the Frog from Sesame Street is the world’s most famous puppet. He has recorded songs, starred in films and TV shows, and written an autobiography. His image has appeared on postage stamps and he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Kermit’s beginnings were humble, however. When his creator Jim Henson first assembled him, he consisted of Henson’s mom’s green coat and two halves of a white ping pong ball. I mention this, Aries, because the current astrological omens suggest that you, too, could make a puppet that will one day have great influence. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. Here’s the whole truth: now isn’t a favorable time to start work on a magnificent puppet. But it is a perfect moment to launch the rough beginnings of a project that’s well-suited for your unique talents.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Taurus businessman Chuck Feeney made a huge fortune as the entrepreneur who co-developed duty-free shopping. But at age 87, he lives frugally, having given away $8 billion to philanthropic causes. He doesn’t even own a house or car. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to follow his lead in the coming weeks. Be unreasonably generous and exorbitantly helpful. APRIL FOOL! I exaggerated a bit. While it’s true that now is an extra favorable time to bestow blessings on everyone, you shouldn’t go overboard. Make sure your giving is artful, not careless or compulsive.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Now is a perfect time to start learning the Inuktitut language spoken by the indigenous people of Eastern Canada. Here are some key phrases to get you underway. 1. UllusiuKattagit inosek: Celebrate your life! 2. Pitsialagigavit, piggogutivagit!: Because you’re doing amazing things, I’m proud of you! 3.

by rob brezsny

Nalligijauvutit: You are loved! 4. Kajusitsiatuinnagit: Keep it up! APRIL FOOL! I lied. Now isn’t really a better time than any other to learn the Inuktitut language. But it is an important time to talk to yourself using phrases like those I mentioned. You need to be extra kind and super positive toward yourself.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

When he was twenty years old, Greek military leader Alexander the Great began to conquer the world. By age 30, he ruled the vast territory between Greece and northwest India. Never shy about extolling his own glory, he named 70 cities after himself. I offer his example as a model for you. Now is a favorable time to name clouds after yourself, as well as groves of trees, stretches of highway, buses, fire hydrants, parking spaces, and rocks. APRIL FOOL. I got a bit carried away. It’s true that now is a good time to assert your authority, extend your clout, and put your unique stamp on every situation. But I don’t recommend that you name entire cities after yourself.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Now is an excellent time to join an exotic religion. How about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which believes that true spiritual devotion requires an appreciation of satire? Or how about Discordianism, which worships the goddess of chaos and disorder? Then there’s the United Church of Bacon, whose members exult in the flavor of their favorite food. (Here’s a list of more: tinyurl.com/WeirdReligions.) APRIL FOOL! I wasn’t entirely truthful. It’s accurate to say that now is a great time to reinvigorate and transform your spiritual practice. But it’s better if you figure that out by yourself. There’s no need to get your ideas from a bizarre cult.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Studies show that people who love grilled cheese

sandwiches engage in more sexual escapades than those who don’t gorge on grilled cheese sandwiches. So I advise you to eat a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches, because then you will have more sex than usual. And that’s important, because you are now in a phase when you will reap huge healing benefits from having as much sex as possible. APRIL FOOL! I lied when I implied that eating more grilled cheese sandwiches would motivate you to have more sex. But I wasn’t lying when I said that you should have more sex than usual. And I wasn’t lying when I said you will reap huge benefits from having as much sex as possible. (P.S. If you don’t have a partner, have sex with your fantasies or yourself.)

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

If you ever spend time at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica, you’ll get a chance to become a member of the 300 Club. To be eligible, you wait till the temperature ouside drops to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When it does, you spend 20 minutes in a sauna heated to 200 degrees. Then you exit into the snow and ice wearing nothing but white rubber boots, and run a few hundred feet to a ceremonial pole and back. In so doing, you expose your naked body to a swing of 300 degrees. According to my astrological analysis, now is an ideal time to pull off this feat. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I’m not really urging you to join the 300 Club. On the other hand, I do think it’s a favorable phase to go to extremes for an authentically good cause.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Scientific research shows that if you arrange to get bitten by thousands of mosquitoes in a relatively short time, you make yourself immune. Forever after, mosquito bites won’t itch you. Now would be an excellent time for you to launch such a project. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I don’t really think you should do that. On the contrary. You should scrupulously avoid irritations and aggravations, especially little ones.

Instead, immerse yourself in comfort and ease. Be as free from vexation as you have ever been!

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

If allowed to do what comes naturally, two rabbits and their immediate descendants will produce 1,300 new rabbits in twelve months’ time. In five years, their offspring would amount to 94 million. I suspect that you will approach this level of fertility in the next four weeks, at least in a metaphorical sense. APRIL FOOL! I stretched the truth a bit. There’s no way you will produce more than a hundred good new ideas and productions and gifts. At the most, you’ll generate a mere 50.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The weather is warm year-round and the crime rate is low on Pitcairn, a remote South Pacific island that is a 30-hour boat ride away from the nearest airport. The population has been dwindling in recent years, however, which is why the government offers foreigners free land if they choose to relocate. You might want to consider taking advantage of this opportunity. APRIL FOOL! I was exaggerating. It’s true that you could get major health benefits by taking a sabbatical from civilization. But there’s no need to be so drastic about it.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You don’t have to run faster than the bear that’s chasing you. You just have to run faster than the slowest person the bear is chasing. OK? So don’t worry! APRIL FOOL! What I just said wasn’t your real horoscope. I hope you know me well enough to understand that I would NEVER advise you to save your own ass by betraying or sacrificing someone else. It’s also important to note that the bear I mentioned is entirely metaphorical in nature. So please ignore what I said earlier. However, I do want you to know that there are effective ways to elude the

symbolic bear that are also honorable. To discover them, meditate on calming down the beastly bearlike qualities in yourself.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Now is a favorable time to disguise yourself as a bland nerd with no vivid qualities, or a shy wallflower with no strong opinions, or a polite wimp who prefers to avoid adventure. Please don’t even consider doing anything that’s too interesting or controversial. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, I hope you’ll do the opposite of what I suggested. I think it’s time to express your deep authentic self with aggressive clarity. Be brave and candid and enterprising. What’s the best joke or prank you could play on yourself? FreeWillAstrology.com.

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.

Before you choose a treatment program, see why TRIBE was voted Best Rehab in Ventura County Full and partial day programs for mental health and substance use disorders

“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
