OPINION Editorial

Proof positive of the failure of government

s of this coming August, it will be officially 60 years since the partial nuclear meltdown at the Rocketdyne/Atomics International rocket engine test and nuclear facility in Simi Valley, also known as the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. Established in the 1940s, work for the federal government included the development and testing of 10 nuclear reactors and testing thousands of NASA rocket engines. Chemicals used regularly onsite included 800,000 gallons of the carcinogenic chemical compound trichloroethylene among other dangerous chemicals. Numerous academic studies validate radiation exposure concerns while at least one study by the property owner, The Boeing Company, refuted it, the debate over health concerns seems to leave a lot of wiggle room about 1. The urgency to clean up the site, and 2. How intensive the cleanup needs to be as Boeing plans to use it only as open space — the rules would change if it were to be developed. In 2010, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy entered into an agreement that called for a full cleanup of the 2,850-acre field lab. Since then, not only has the site not been cleaned up, but there have been heated disputes over new plans that say that the degree of the cleanup can be more superficial than a full cleanup since it will only be open space. In January and again just this week, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control put the U.S. Department of Energy and NASA, respectively, on warning that they need to follow the original intensive full cleanup

Letters Time changes are obsolete Regarding the change in time every 6 months, let me say this about that: It is obsolete! Daylight Saving Time (DST) was created back in the 19th century to help farmers harvest their crops, with longer hours at harvest time. That need is long gone. There are far fewer farmers now than 100 years ago (90 percent fewer). The need for time changes is long gone. This is the 21st century. We no longer need such an archaic system of time changing. Let’s get rid of it NOW!! Move time forward in the spring, one hour, then keep it that way permanently! I wrote to Sen. Feinstein several times to suggest the permanent change. Ditto for my representative, Julia Brownley. Results: Negative. Zilch. Nada. Useless effort on my part!! Wasted my valuable time writing to them about that idea!! John Jay “Voice of Truth” Oxnard

plan. But what that means is unclear. The price tag for the full cleanup has been estimated to cost at least $200 million, depending on the reference point, which includes removing hundreds of truckloads of dirt and depositing it elsewhere. Meanwhile, there are countless stories of cancer diagnoses over the last several decades that appear at least to have some correlation to living near Rocketdyne. But it’s unclear what putting federal agencies on warning means — does it mean that California will then take these agencies to court where the debate could be prolonged years, decades, indefinitely? Inquiries to California Department of Toxic Substances Control about this question were not immediately returned. It’s difficult to feel any sense of satisfaction that after 60 years since the meltdown and nine years after the formal agreement was made that California warning federal agencies to get moving with the full cleanup will result in anything productive. It seems as though that unless the state actually pulls the money together itself, takes responsibility for the cleanup and then demands reimbursement from those federal agencies, that only more of the same will ensue. It’s an unfortunate part of our society that those who are impacted the most by government proceedings are the ones who get the least amount of respect. Until the people working at these public agencies see their own family suffering from cancer or other health issues as it pertains to the radiation exposure at Rocketdyne, hope for progress seems a long shot. But it’s the best we have, to settle for the suffering while the big dogs bark at each other.

his wealth in the Saudi kingdom as in Russia where he offered Putin a multi-million dollar gift to influence his approval of a Trump project. Every project Donald Trump sticks his fingers in has them coming out smelling like du-du. My optimism is in the new teams of Democrat House Representatives. In the past three months the young Democrat Congress has exposed its excellent potential for fact finding and its determination to alter the course of American politics. I am hopeful the Democrats will retake the Senate and the ultra-negative, unethical influence of Mitch McConnell will vanish with his political demise. Yes, I am confident and optimistic and have my fingers crossed that there will not be any Democratic fatal infighting or jealousies among Party members in the Senate or in the House of Representatives.

VP OF OPERATIONS David Comden PRESIDENT Bruce Bolkin

Honest Democrats I am usually pessimistic regarding American government and its politicians, however, my opinion is changing. Now, with a Democrat majority in Congress, I am expecting a wide sweep of government corruption, particularly on the Republican side of the ledger. Honest Democrat politicians in Congress far outnumber Republicans. President Donald Trump isn’t responsible for all the chicanery in his Party; it began far before him. He only intensified it and brought it out in the open, brazenly. I see very little difference between the Republican Party and the Cosa Nostra. Trump has the personality of a Sicilian mobster. He is raising his family to follow in his footsteps, having hoped his family to occupy many important positions of power and influence. A major thorn in the side of American foreign policy is Trump’s advisor, his son in law Jared Kushner. Not only was he denied a Top Secret clearance to illustrate his unworthiness, he has been involved in many vital decisions for which he is unqualified to make. His involvement in Saudi Arabia is consistent with his father in law’s plan to expand

A History of Oxnard Latest book by Jeffrey Maulhardt to raise funds for Farm Park by Mike Nelson

t’s quiet these days at the old Teatro theater at 620 South Oxnard Boulevard, in the heart of Oxnard’s old business district. But close your eyes, and imagine… The excitement of 90 years ago — March 21, 1929 — when Ventura County’s first “talkie” theater, the art-deco Boulevard Theater, opened with My Man starring Fannie Brice, with an admission price of 35 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. Or decades later, when the Boulevard — known by now as the Teatro — became a music studio where albums were recorded or mixed by the likes of Willie Nelson (Teatro), Bob Dylan (Time Out of Mind), Neil Young (The Monsanto Years) and U2 (All That You Can’t Leave Behind). Maybe you can remember the long-gone Colonial House. In the 1940s and ’50s, it was Oxnard’s premier dining spot, whose patrons included Mugu Game Preserve Duck Club members Clark Gable, Cary Grant, John Wayne, Gary Cooper and Bing Crosby, plus Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe. And we haven’t even mentioned Hollywood Beach, whose desert-resembling sand dunes were the site of dozens of films in the early 1900s, and became world famous via The Sheik, which by 1922 had become the biggest grossing picture in Hollywood history. These stories and many more that detail the evolution of Ventura County’s largest city are addressed in A History of Oxnard, a new coffee-table book by local historian and Oxnard resident Jeffrey Wayne Maulhardt, the author of 14 previous books on various aspects of Ventura County history. A fifth-generation descendant of two of the city’s founding families (Maulhardt and Borchard) who taught history for 30 years in local public schools, Maulhardt was delighted to participate in this project when he was approached two years ago by publisher HPN Books of San Antonio. “I love doing this kind of work,” he says. “It taps into my passion for history, and for educating the public about our community.” Already owning (or with access to) enough historic material and photos to rival a library, Maulhardt uncovered “newer, updated information to augment what I already knew” for this “broader scope of work.” “So I researched more deeply, including places like Hollywood Beach and El Rio (once known as New Jeru-

salem). Many people, I think, know about Hollywood Beach as a location for movies, but a lot of earlier movie production took place there that many people probably don’t know.” Such as Cleopatra, starring Theda Bara (1917), and Bound in Morocco (1918), made at the sand dunes of the Leon Lehmann Ranch, with 150 actors and 10 train cars full of special equipment brought from down south. A few years later, The Sheik, featuring Hollywood’s No. 1 star, Rudolph Valentino, cemented Oxnard’s place as prime movie-making territory. But filming also generated interest from land developers, with 500 lots put up for sale at $200 each. “That was the Hollywood Beach subdivision,” says Maulhardt. “And once the area began developing beach-side housing, that eliminated a lot of the sand dunes that were so iconic for use in the films’ desert scenes, and a lot of film production here was eliminated.” Besides Maulhardt’s historical account, featuring dozens of historic photographs, A History of Oxnard also offers a collection of essays by 34 local “sponsors” who each paid a fee to the publisher. Sponsors, all with long-established ties to the community, include the Laubacher, Lopez, McGrath, Maulhardt, Naumann and Valles families, plus numerous businesses and organizations. Such sponsorship, says Maulhardt, will enable all proceeds from sales of the limited-edition book ($49.95 each, with 400 copies for sale) to fund ongoing restorative work at the Oxnard Historic Farm Park, once partly owned by Maulhardt’s great-great granduncle, Gottfried Maulhardt. “Having sponsors participate allows more complete stories to be told,” says Maulhardt. He also selected images featured on the book cover, designed by local artist Lisa Kelly, whose murals are in the Pleasant Valley Historical Museum, the Avenue Center in Ventura and Yolanda’s restaurants (among other places). “Hopefully,” he continues, “this new book will help develop the community’s interest in local history, and in the Farm Park. I do see more appreciation for history and our past, based on what some of my former students tell me, and visitors to the Farm Park say it connects them to their homesteads that they or their ancestors had back East or the Midwest. This book, I hope, builds an even stronger connection to our roots.” ✦ For more information on A History of Oxnard, call the Oxnard Historic Farm Park Foundation at 805-844-9877 or visit www.oxnardfarmpark.org.

Studio Ghibli Fest lights up the box office with anime classics by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

rom the heart of Japan comes Studio Ghibli Fest 2019, a monthly showcase of well-known and notso-well-known whimsical classics from director, animator and writer Hayao Miyazaki — and the crew he inspired — in a theater near you. Miyazaki, a celebrated filmmaker and animator, is often called the Walt Disney of Japan. His films feature breathtaking visuals, animated by hand at Studio Ghibli, and captivating stories filled to the brim with whimsy and magical realism. Worried about subtitles? Concerned that the English voice cast won’t be up to par? Worry not: All films will be screened dubbed and subtitled. The festival of films, a collaboration between Fathom Events and animated film distributor GKIDS, kicks off on Sunday, April 7, with the 15th anniversary screening of Howl’s Moving Castle. The film follows a young woman cursed by a spiteful witch with the body of an old person. To remedy the situation, she enlists the help of a wizard named Howl and his castle with legs. The film was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 2006 Academy Awards. On Sunday, the dubbed version will be screened at 12:55 p.m., and again on Monday, April 8, 7 p.m., subtitled. The most well-known of the Studio Ghibli films taking part in the festival include the 30th anniversary of Kiki’s Delivery Service, about a little witch that could (July); Spirited Away, in which the pitfalls of greed are deftly explored (October); and Princess Mononoke, pitting industrial man against the purity and horror of nature (November). The 35th anniversary of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is not to be missed when it comes to theaters in May: This 1984 classic is one of Miyazaki’s earliest works. The film follows the exploits of a young woman trying to bring peace to warring nations. In July, Whisper of the Heart comes to theaters. The film, directed by Yoshifumi Kondō and written by Miyazaki, is a coming-of-age story featuring a talking cat and a magical girl. The Secret World of Arrietty was animated by Studio Ghibli and was the directorial debut of Hiromasa Yonebayashi, who would later direct Mary and the Witch’s Flower. The film follows a tiny family residing within a family’s clock. Not to be missed in September. For fans of classic Miyazaki, the standard bearer is My Neighbor Totoro. Forest spirits entertain two young girls who move to the countryside while their ailing mother recovers in this film featuring Totoro, a fluffy giant, and a cat that is also a bus. I told you there would be whimsy. The film comes to theaters in August. Wrapping up the festival in December is The Tale of The Princess Kaguya, based on the classic Japanese folktale. Miyazaki films are an experience, and there is no better place to experience them than at the theater. Show times are available in Ventura, Oxnard and Thousand Oaks, and tickets are available now at www.fathomevents.com, $10.50-12.50. ♦

Long waits, little help for passport applicants in Ventura County by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

A U.S. Department of State Official says that the decreasing number of facilities is due to shrinking city and county resources and budgets. On travel.state.gov, a passport application center locator is available. A search for local facilities returns several near Ventura County limits: two in Malibu, two in Santa Barbara County and two more in Santa Clarita. Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Thousand Oaks, has hosted passport fairs in the fall of 2017 and 2018. Brownley says that she shares the frustrations associated with the long wait times for local passport appointments.

PHOTO BY CHRIS O’NEAL

undreds of people lined up early Sunday morning in Oxnard for the chance to remedy a problem many didn’t know they had: finding the time to apply for a first-time or to renew a child’s passport in the face of long lines and slow processing in Ventura County. On Sunday, March 31, the United States Postal Service hosted a Passport Fair, the first of two scheduled fairs at the Oxnard Main Post Office. The doors weren’t supposed to open until 9 a.m., but with the line already wrapping around the building, applications had begun to be processed around 8:30 a.m. The long line is the direct result of the site being the only location in the county for applicants to apply for a passport without an appointment, where on most weekdays, wait times for processing can exceed four or more hours. Fourteen employees were on hand Sunday specifically to process applications with two taking passport photos. The line moved slowly as applicants waited in the early morning sun, many with children, with little to no shade.

School and college counselors and advisors are prepping for the first-ever Ventura County Counselor Summit: Navigating a STEM Future, a workshop with a goal of giving those who work directly with students the tools needed to allow students to chase a STEM-related educational and career path. The event, a project of the Ventura County P20 Council in collaboration with numerous entities including the Oxnard Union High School District, California Lutheran University, CSU Channel Islands, Oxnard College and more, seeks to place instructors at all levels together to discuss ways to implement STEM learning from elementary through college. STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — has been taking the educational world by storm in recent years, providing students with study and career opportunities based on the four core principals. “Far too often, teachers and parents say, ‘you know, that science thing, I’m not very good at it, it’s hard,’ ” said Philip Hampton, Professor of Chemistry at CSUCI. “We want to change that messaging and encourage kids to think of STEM as something they can do.” Hampton says that attendees will have an opportunity to talk among themselves following presentations to share ideas and methods that work in the classroom to encourage students at a young age to enjoy and understand STEM. “We want a consistent messaging to the students that yes, you can do this, si se puede, and we’re going to be here to support you and here’s what you need to do,” said Hampton. The Ventura County Counselor Summit: Navigating a STEM Future will be held on Monday, April 8, at the Ventura County Office of Education, 5100 Adolfo Road, Camarillo.

T.O. FARMERS MARKET SHUT DOWN BY FIRE DEPARTMENT Just when the Thousand Oaks Certified Farmers’ Market thought it had found a perfect new location to host its Thursday market, the Ventura County Fire Department said no dice, forcing the market to return to its former location. Officials determined after visiting the location that it would not meet safety requirements for emergencies and traffic control. “Even though we were looking forward to this new site, we absolutely want the market to be safe and accessible,” said Karen Schott, operations manager for the Ventura County Certified Farmers’ Market Association. “We thank everyone who supported our ‘dress rehearsal’ and we will continue to operate every Thursday bringing the best of California agriculture while we regroup.” The market will return to the east side of the Oaks Shopping Center along Wilbur Road, open Thursdays from noon to 5 p.m. For more information on Ventura County farmers markets, visit www.vccfarmersmarkets. com.

Eye on the Environment

Odd items can be reused or mailed for recycling by David Goldstein

nimal shelters and homeless shelters need certain items, but you must follow strict guidelines before donating in order to avoid imposing disposal costs on worthy organizations and taking their staffs’ time. Specifically, some “used” items can be donated to homeless shelters, but only in new, unopened condition. For example, the free toothbrush and small tube of toothpaste you received from your dentist following a cleaning can be donated, but only if it is still sealed in packaging. Similarly, if you did not open the complimentary shampoo, conditioner, hand lotion and shower cap in your hotel room, donate those, too. Used clothing is almost always better donated to a thrift store than a shelter; however, shelters generally can accept used, freshly cleaned sweatshirts, hoodies, and sweat pants. Similarly, donating used shoes imposes a burden on shelters, but one related item frequently discarded by everyone is desired by homeless shelters. Used, cleaned shoelaces can be donated to a homeless shelter.

Prior to delivering donations, call the Oxnard shelter directly at 805-247-0335. The shelter currently hosts over 100 people, has limited staff and organizes many activities, so they are not able to carefully screen donations or give tours. Donations of used blankets and towels are welcomed by the Ventura County Animal Shelter. The shelter, in Camarillo, is collecting materials to meet the needs of the 500 animals being hosted. People can drop off items at the shelter: 600 Aviation Drive, Camarillo; 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday-Sunday. The shelter is closed on Mondays, but people can also drop off items from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. on Mondays if they are unable to come during open hours, according to Jennifer Thaler, Supervising Animal Control Officer. Other items seemingly unrecyclable and not reusable can be given a new life through mail-in recycling programs. One surprising reusable item is used mascara wands. The Appalachian Wildlife Refuge uses these to clean animals in distress. The tight bristles enable volunteers to remove oil, larvae, fly eggs, mites and mud from rescued wildlife. The brushes also work great for animal medical care and wound treatment,

according to the organization’s website. The refuge asks donors to clean used mascara wands with liquid soap, place wands in a clean plastic bag and mail them to P.O. Box 1211, Skyland, NC, 28776. Terracycle provides sponsor-subsidized mailin recycling programs for products ranging from Burt’s Bees “lip care products” to Solo cups. Additionally, Terracycle has many nonsponsored programs. For example, for $102, you can purchase a small shipping box (11 in. x11 in. x20 in.) and a postage-paid return shipping label to send Terracycle your used chewing gum. According to Brian Hanck, a Terracycle spokesman, “Chewing gum is made from polymers, which are synthetic plastics . . . The . . . gum is sanitized and blended, then converted into plastic pellets. These specific plastic pellets are usually used in creating new products made of rubber or plastic.” Among other items, the company also has mail-in recycling programs for coffee capsules, pens, plastic gloves, detergent booster pouches, ready-made pasta bags, contact lenses and the blister packs containing the lenses.

Locally, the Surfrider Foundation participates in Terracycle’s mail-in program for recycling cigarette butts, the most common form of litter. Through its “Hold On To Your Butt” campaign, the city and Surfrider have purchased and installed 103 metal containers in areas where cigarette butt litter was common, despite a city ordinance banning smoking in public areas. Volunteers empty approximately 4,000 butts per month from these receptacles; combined with the butts they collect from beach cleanup events, they have sent over 270,000 butts to Terracycle in a little over two years, according to Juli Marciel, Surfrider’s coordinator for the program. A bench made from cigarette butts is on the Ventura promenade next to the pier. F For more information, visit www.terracycle. com/en-US/. Additional items needed by the Ventura County Animal Shelter can be found at www. vcas.us/amazonwishlist. Additional items needed by the Oxnard Homeless Shelter include a large coffee pot, microwave oven and heavy-duty threeprong extension cords. Before delivering, call 805247-0335. April 4, 2019 — —9

BUG APOCALYPSE Decline in insect population leading to catastrophe, report says; locals fight back

BY CHRIS O'NEAL | CHRIS@VCREPORTER.COM Summer nights in east Texas were especially bright. In the rural woods southwest of Texarkana, my grandparents owned a home in the middle of a forest. When the sun set and the musty notes of decomposing leaves saturated the air, tiny sparks of light would signal the coming twilight. These were lightning bugs, fireflies. If ever there was a whimsical insect to be found in a Hayao Miyazaki film, it would fit the bill. We caught them in jars and put them on our nightstands, and in the morning, they would all be dead or dying. I think back on that time when I’m in a particularly melancholy mood, or when I’m handed reports claiming that we’re in the midst of an insect population collapse. Like the boy haplessly catching fireflies for his own amusement, am I as a member of our modern society continuing this macabre tradition, killing insects as easily as taking a breath? A grim future lies ahead for insect species the world over. In a new study published in the journal Biological Conservation, Australian researchers Francisco Sánchez-Bayo and Kris A.G. Wyckhuys reveal that 40 percent of insect species are threatened with extinction over the next few decades and that 41 percent of insect species have already suffered a decline over the past 10 years. The researchers list in order of significance the drivers behind the decline: habitat loss and urbanization; the use of pesticides and fertilizers; diseases and invasive species; and climate change. As a child I was helpless, and perhaps a bit naïve that my actions meant nothing in the global scheme of things. As an adult, there are options we can take to fight back, leaving open the possibility that we can help rather than hinder.

BENEFITS OF AN INFESTATION

Rincon-Vitova Insectaries is easy to miss. Set off of Ventura Avenue, behind the Ventura Spirits distillery and across the Ventura River Trail path, the compound is a series of buildings originally used by citrus growers, the former living quarters for migrant workers transformed into hatcheries and incubators for insects. Known lovingly as the bug farm, co-founder Everett Dietrick opened the business in 1960. In 1991, his daughter, Jan Dietrick took over and in 1997, she hired Ron Whitehurst. Together the pair have carried on the work of Everett Dietrick, who pioneered commercial biological pest control, by offering alternatives to harsh chemicals and pesticides to farmers, growers and even home gardeners in the form of beneficial insects. Kyra Rude, general manager, has been with the business for 13 years. She learned of the operation via an online job listing from her home state of Indiana. “It’s not your typical 9 to 5,” said Rude. It became very apparent rather quickly that she wasn’t exaggerating when we stepped into fly alley. The barracks now bore designations far removed from their origins as homes for migrant workers. As we stepped into the Lindorus Room, the vibe was Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but the goings on were far from horrific (apart from the smell of decomposing vegetables). Dozens of butternut squash sat in rows upon racks, their yellow skin turned ashen and white due to an infestation of the 10 — — April 4, 2019

pest known as scale. In various places on all of the squash were tiny black spots — these were the Lindorus lophanthae, the scale-destroying beetle. “It likes to go around and use its snout to flip over the scale covering and get after the little juicy insects on the inside,” said Rude. The beetles are collected using a gentle vacuum system and sold to businesses such as those that grow and sell Christmas trees, which Rude says often deal Tanya Nunez and Juliana Danaus make seed balls containing a variety of with scale, and to hotel chains with ornamental plants as decoration. native plant seeds including milkweed. “They don’t really want to see someone walking around with a big suit sprayan issue that they say is being largely ignored. ing something,” said Rude. “The tiny wasps and flies that are the invisible workers on Rude promised me that the smell of the Lindorus Room was every farm are seldom noticed, but they naturally control crop pleasant compared to the fly room.

THE SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION “Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades. The repercussions this will have for the planet’s ecosystems are catastrophic to say the least,” write the authors of “Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers” by Sánchez-Bayo and Kris A.G.Wyckhuys in the journal Biological Conservation. The report analyzed the work of the 73 best studies on insect decline. FINDINGS OF THE ANALYSIS INCLUDE: Annual 2.5 percent loss of the total mass of insects over the last 25-30 years. Honeybee colonies in the U.S. in 1947 were approximately 6 million. Since then, over half have been lost. A 27-year long study of Germany’s protected areas found a 76 percent decline in flying insect biomass. Over a 36-year study of Puerto Rico’s rainforests found a 98 percent decline in ground-foraging and a 78 percent decline in canopydwelling arthropods. The study also showed a parallel with the insect decline and the decline of bird, frog and lizard populations as a result of food shortages. According to a report released by Science and Policy for People and Nature in 2016, a group affiliated with the United Nations, 35 percent of the world’s crop production volume rely on pollinators such as bees, butterflies, wasps and moths, as well as bats, worth a value of $577 billion.

is given to area beekeepers so that proper precautions can be taken, whether that be moving the hives or covering them with protection. Wild bees and other insects are not given the same notification, however. “The labels do say ‘toxic to bees, don’t apply when bees are present,’ but the regulations say that if [growers] are following the state mandated protocols for notification that we talked about then they are permitted to make those applications even if bees are visiting the crops,” said Andy Calderwood, Deputy Agricultural Commissioner, adding that there are no restrictions even if the crops are in bloom. Both Williams and Calderwood are aware of the United Nations report on global climate change and its implications. “It worries me,” said Calderwood. “There’s no doubt that wild bee populations are impacted from intensive agriculture. Nobody could argue that’s not the case, and it concerns me about these insect population collapses that everybody is reporting.” Calderwood and Williams point toward other exasperating issues, including climate change and habitat destruction, noting that most of Ventura County is far from agriculture land and

even in those areas, insect species are on the decline. Williams says that the issue has been discussed with area farmers. “We are having those discussions about alternative pest management practices, encouraging biological control-types of integrative pest management,” said Williams, though insect populations haven’t specifically been addressed, he said. “I feel a sense of urgency personally as a resident of planet Earth,” said Calderwood. “But our agency is tasked with certain things, enforcing certain regulations. We have our sector of duties that is our responsibility and changing the course of planet Earth is not really something that a county agency can take the lead on.” Williams says that the agency is more than willing to participate in the discussion but that change would have to be on the collective state, federal and consumer level.

THE COLLECTIVE LEVEL

Early Saturday morning, March 30, the Ventura Land Trust hosts dozens of volunteers and families at Big Rock Preserve, their property adjacent to the Ventura River. The goal for the day is to plant milkweed and nectar-producing plants to attract

butterflies, specifically the monarch. Hence the name of the event: Monarch Madness. Butterfly expert Juliana Danaus, owner and founder of Ojai’s Monarch Arc, gives lessons and workshops on the life cycle of the butterfly. Her work in area schools has included six-week courses starting from egg and, hopefully, ending with living butterflies to release into the wild. “My biggest joy in doing this would be having a little kid smile because they get it and something clicks and you can tell that that kid is going to run with it for a significant portion of their life,” said Danaus. Out of 100 eggs, only one will become a full-fledged butterfly, due to parasitoids, predators, disease and the like, says Danaus. Over the past few years, Danaus says that her children, 12 and 6 years of age, have witnessed the decline of the monarch population. It’s a startling number. The Xerces Society conducts a count of Western Monarchs every Thanksgiving, and in 2017, the number of counted monarchs overwintering in California was around 148,000. In 2018, that number had dropped to just over 20,000. Danaus says that she believes the Thomas and Woolsey fires helped to keep that number low. With concurrent fires burning in northern California, Danaus says she believes many of the monarchs traveled eastward, joining the eastern migration of monarchs that travel between Mexico and the southwest. That particular population of monarchs actually saw an increase in numbers around the same time. But the numbers of monarchs were decreasing long before the fires. In the 1980s, an estimated 4.5 million monarchs overwintered in California. After a demonstration of a new Ventura Land Trust tractor donated by Ventura-based Cummins Sales and Services, families took up buckets of water and various plants to put into the ground around the property. Kate Furlong, stewardship director, says that she wanted to pick plants such as the purple sage, coyote bush and coast sunflower to plant alongside the Ventura County native milkweed so that insects would have food year round. These plants bloom on different schedules annually. Furlong says that getting the community directly involved promotes stewardship of the land, especially in kids. “We’re trying to encourage the future stewards to care about bugs, and not just the cute ones, not just the pretty butterflies,” said Furlong, noting that Big Rock Preserve acts as habitat to native bees. As for how plants are chosen for events such as Monarch Madness, Furlong says that she makes her decisions based on the future. “You’re not planning for right now or how things used to be, you’re working on a projection that it’s going to get worse, currently,” said Furlong. “So we’re trying to make it adapt so then it can still be great for the pollinators and for the other animals and humans that use this area in the future when things get a little more stressed.” Parents helped their kids dig holes and to remove plants from their containers for planting. Girl Scouts from local Ventura troop 65048 collectively planted milkweed along the path toward the river while adjacent to them Dar and L.B. Chandler helped their son Zeke, 4, plant coyote bush while nearly-2-yearold Savanna supervised. “I feel like when we’re out here this is how it’s supposed to be,” said Dar. “This is how kids are supposed to grow up and learn and be on this kind of playground.”

THE END

It would be hard to imagine a planet without insects because it would be even harder to picture a world without the things they ensure exist. Insects act as pollinators, as decomposers of organic material, as primary food sources for a multitude of the world’s animal species. Since leaving Texas, I haven’t seen a firefly. Just recently, the sound of croaking frogs startled my urban-dwelling wife. Perhaps our blasé attitude toward the preservation of insects relies on a continued disconnection that exists between our species and nature, and in particular, ick-inducing insects. We squirm at the site of them, myself no less guilty as Kyra Rude would undoubtedly attest. Perhaps, for the sake of the planet, it’s time to get over ourselves and realize that, like the firefly, we have placed ourselves in a jar that only we can open.

organ James brought her powerful voice and her repertoir of orginal and cover songs to The Canyon last weekend performing selections from Joni Mitchell’s masterpiece record Blue and celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles White Album. The small and mostly subdued crowd were treated to classics including “California” and “River” from Blue and “Dear Prudence” and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” from the White Album.

‘‘I

think that, down deep, every band secretly wants to be U2, right?” said Offspring bandleader Dexter Holland, reflecting on his group’s pioneering role in the ’90s “bro band” phenomenon, thanks in large part to frat-boy favorites like “Self Esteem” and “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy).” The recently recorded “It Won’t Get Better,” which debuted in June, is about the current opioid epidemic. It’s actually one among many Offspring songs that can be characterized as socially conscious. “The songs that people mostly know us for are the fun ones,” acknowledged Holland in a recent phone interview. “But we also have some more serious songs like ‘Gone Away,’ which is about losing someone who’s close to you, and ‘The Kids Aren’t Alright,’ which is a song I wrote about driving through my old neighborhood and realizing that all these kids that I grew up with ended up having lives where really bad things happened. So, there’s some seriousness there, as well.” The same can be said for Holland’s extramusical activities. Two decades after he dropped out of college to devote his time to the whole rock ’n’ roll thing, the singer-guitarist decided to take a break from the Offspring to finish up his doctorate in molecular biology. It was a sensible thing to do for a rock star who’d published a paper on HIV genomes in the Public Library of Science’s peer-reviewed science

efforts,” said the Orange County native. “I’ve been getting a couple of interesting offers from places like UNICEF, but just getting the degree took so much time that I felt like I had to go back to my day job, which is my band.” As day jobs go, Holland’s doesn’t seem all that bad. Last year, he and the rest of the Offspring set sail from Miami to Key West and on to the Bahamas as part of Flogging Molly’s

Salty Dog Cruise, alongside the Buzzcocks, the Vandals, Lagwagon, the Adolescents and other acts with punk-rock pedigrees. “When we started, we liked the Ramones and the Sex Pistols and the Dead Kennedys and stuff,” recalled Holland. “We weren’t trained musicians. The only way that we could have been a band that anyone actually knew was to do it the way we did it. We had to do it bratty and punk. So we wrote what came naturally for us at that age, and I’ve come to appreciate that we have these really great live shows where the music is upbeat and fun. So I’m actually very pleased with the way things have gone.” In addition to working on its 10th album, the Offspring will play a short run of acoustic dates (which brings the band to Ventura Theater on Thursday, April 4) followed by four Sabroso Craft Beer, Taco and Music Festival dates later in April. It’s a combination that’s near and dear to Holland’s heart, having developed his own line of “Gringo Bandito” hot sauces nearly a decade ago. This past November marked the 20th anniversary of “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy),” the song that, despite its underlying sarcasm, became one of the indie-rock world’s defining anthems. “I always took ‘fly’ to be this kind of word that white people co-opted from the black world, going all the way back to Superfly and other blaxploitation movies,” said Holland, who was determined to write a song about it before the Beastie Boys beat him to the punch. “Once it has been taken up by white culture, it was kind of the opposite of fly, right? I knew that some people would pick up on the obviousness of the fact that the song was taking the piss out of a certain kind of person. And I figured that the guys who thought it was about them would think it was cool and like it. Even if they didn’t F get that the joke was on them.”

Look for it in the April 11th issue! 805-648-2244

barely-buttoned shirts, shorts, sneakers and fanny pack, tapping out poetry on an old-school, portable typewriter, periodically accompanied by untethered young women. Talented but clueless (“I’m a bottom feeder — I gotta go low to get high!”) he handles responsibility with the aplomb of a drunken baby. His southern-fried literary agent (Jonah Hill, slimmed to the point you won’t recognize him) wants work out of him that’s just not happening. He arrives late to the wedding of his daughter, Heather (Stephanie LaVie Owen), and her dull-as-biscuit-dough groom (Joshua Ritter) in just one scene that’s as outrageously funny as it is a cringeworthy embarrassment. Of course, as is always the case, no human, even a fictional creation, can sustain such an inebriated, wastrel lifestyle without crossing a Rubicon of sorts. There emerges a danger to his existence. Moondog soon learns he has to finish a book of his works to stay wealthy and free as a breeze. But the partying just gets harder. While attempting to mend his ways, Moondog meets Flicker (Zac Efron), a truly dizzy hedonist with manscaped sideburns; a sociopathic laugh riot. Martin Lawrence returns to film for the first time in eight years as Captain Wack, an unkempt Vietnam vet, lover of dolphins, drugs and a profane parrot. His time on screen is short but grotesquely hilarious. A yacht-board duet by Snoop’s Lingerie and Jimmy Buffet (as himself . . .who else, in Moondog’s wonderland of sunsets, cobalt-colored seas and water-bongs?) puts the movie’s whole vibe in as much perspective as the flashlight-sized joints they smoke. Ultimately, Moondog rolls on as an unreconstituted free spirit. There’s tragedy with the comedy — the funny stuff is subversive. Beneath this carnival of indulgence is the awareness that the road to self destruction is both a flavor-filled fiesta and a bitter stew. The Beach Bum may have trouble filling seats. The beautiful Florida locations, the gaudy, adult wit, the merry decadence and the cast, however, are, without question, worth the price of a ticket. ♦

the more affordable option, and settled into a comfortable table in the busy bar for some serious noshing. I began my meal with a brown sugar old fashioned from the $8 cocktail menu. It was perfectly prepared and very attractive, with a generous slice of orange zest perched on top — easily as good (if not better) than those I’ve had for twice the price. Happy hour dishes are all tapas-sized and meant to be shared, giving us lots of opportunity for exploration. We enjoyed the popcorn shrimp ($10), fried in the lightest of batters and still plump and juicy, and the earthy, rich lamb sliders ($8). These had a tomato jam for a touch of sweetness, creamy goat cheese and crisp, peppery arugula — highly recommended. Both dishes included a generous helping of steak fries. Inspired by the gorgeous views of the ocean, we also ordered a platter of oysters ($2.50 each), served raw on the half shell with just a touch of brine: fresh, light and delicious. We also tried the ahi, prepared two different ways. Both were excellent. In the tacos ($8), cubes of fish were just barely seared and piled onto corn tortillas with lots of fresh coleslaw, flavored with a very spicy chipotle sauce. They had quite the kick, but went down easy. Even better was the ahi poke ($10). Unlike a traditional poke, where fresh fish, vegetables and other ingredients are layered into a bowl, this was a much more delicate preparation. Deep-fried wontons were topped with raw cubes dressed with a sweet and salty soy glaze and topped with green onions and sesame seeds. A lot of flavor and the full spectrum of taste sensations were packed into each little square. I did consider the flatbread pizza, the shrimp bruschetta bites and possibly the riblets (which our server assured us were very popular). By now, however, we were pleasantly satisfied. There was just enough room for dessert: a luscious lemon cake drizzled with raspberry puree and decorated with a disc of white chocolate. The perfect coda to a truly wonderful meal. Based on this single outing, Water’s Edge seems to hit all its marks. Comfortable, stylish interior, great food, lots of options, good service and a skilled bartender. The price point for entrees is a little high, but not outrageous for a special occasion dinner. And for casual, everyday dining, the happy hour really delivers, in quality, presentation and affordability. No matter how you slice it, Water’s Edge makes the cut. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

A mushroom shaped like a horse’s hoof grows on birch trees in parts of Europe and the U.S. If you strip off its outer layer, you get amadou, spongy stuff that’s great for igniting fires. It’s not used much anymore, but it was a crucial resource for some of our ancestors. As for the word “amadou,” it’s derived from an old French term that means “tinder, kindling, spunk.” The same word was formerly used to refer to a person who is quick to light up or to something that stimulates liveliness. In accordance with astrological omens, I’m making “Amadou” your nickname for the next four weeks.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

“Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them,” wrote novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. “Life obliges them over and over to give birth to themselves.” Here’s what I’ll add to that: As you mature, you do your best to give birth to ever-new selves that are in alignment with the idealistic visions you have of the person you want to become. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t skilled at that task in adolescence and early adulthood, and so the selves we create may be inadequate or delusory or distorted. Fortunately, as we learn from our mistakes, we eventually learn to give birth to selves that are strong and righteous. The only problem is that the old false selves we generated along the way may persist as ghostly echoes in our psyche. And we have a sacred duty to banish those ghostly echoes. I tell you this, Taurus, because the coming months will be en excellent time to do that banishing. Ramp up your efforts NOW!

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“When spring came, there were no problems except where to be happiest,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in his memoir. He quickly amended that statement, though, mourning, “The only thing that

by rob brezsny

could spoil a day was people.” Then he ventured even further, testifying, “People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” I bring these thoughts to your attention so as to prepare you for some good news. In the next three weeks, I suspect you will far exceed your quota for encounters with people who are not “limiters of happiness”— who are as good as spring itself.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

It’s time to prove that Cancerians have more to offer than nurturing, empathizing, softening the edges, feeling deeply, getting comfortable, and being creative. Not that there’s anything wrong with those talents. On the contrary! They’re beautiful and necessary. It’s just that for now you need to avoid being pigeonholed as a gentle, sensitive soul. To gather the goodies that are potentially available to you, you’ll have to be more forthright and aggressive than usual. Is it possible for you to wield a commanding presence? Can you add a big dose of willfulness and a pinch of ferocity to your self-presentation? Yes and yes!

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

General Motors manufactured a car called the Pontiac Aztek from 2001 to 2005. It wasn’t commercially successful. One critic said it looked like “an angry kitchen appliance,” and many others agreed it was exceptionally unstylish. But later the Aztek had an odd revival because of the popularity of the TV show Breaking Bad. The show’s protagonist, Walter White, owned one, and that motivated some of his fans to emulate his taste in cars. In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I suspect that something of yours may also enjoy a second life sometime soon. An offering that didn’t get much appreciation the first time around may undergo a resurgence. Help it do so.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

“Of all the female sins, hunger is the least forgivable,” laments feminist author Laurie Penny. She’s referring to the hunger “for anything, for food, sex, power, education, even love.” She continues: “If we have desires, we are expected to conceal them, to control them, to keep ourselves in check. We are supposed to be objects of desire, not desiring beings.” I’ve quoted her because I suspect it’s crucial for you to not suppress or hide your longings in the coming weeks. That’s triply true if you’re a woman, but also important if you’re a man or some other gender. You have a potential to heal deeply if you get very clear about what you hunger for and then express it frankly.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Only one of Nana Mouskouris’s vocal cords works, but over the course of an almost 60-year career, the Libran singer has sold over 30 million records in twelve different languages. Many critics speculate that her apparent disadvantage is key to her unique style. She’s a coloratura mezzo, a rare category of chanteuse who sings ornate passages with exceptional agility and purity. In the coming weeks, I suspect that you will be like Mouskouris in your ability to capitalize on a seeming lack or deprivation.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Your tribe is symbolized by three animals: the scorpion, the eagle, and the mythological phoenix. Some astrologers say that the scorpion is the ruling creature of “unevolved” or immature Scorpios, whereas the eagle and phoenix are associated with those of your tribe who express the riper, more enlightened qualities of your sign. But I want to put in a plug for the scorpion as being worthy of all Scorpios. It is a hardy critter that rivals the cockroach in its ability to survive — and even thrive in — less than ideal conditions. For the next two weeks, I propose we make

it your spirit creature.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Sagittarian novelist Gustave Flaubert declared that it’s “our duty is to feel what is sublime and cherish what is beautiful.” But that’s a demanding task to pull off on an ongoing basis. Maybe the best we can hope for is to feel what’s sublime and cherish what’s beautiful for 30-35 days every year. Having said that, though, I’m happy to tell you that in 2019 you could get all the way up to 95-100 days of feeling what’s sublime and cherishing what’s beautiful. And as many as 15 to 17 of those days could come during the next 21.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Sommeliers are people trained to perceive the nuances of wine. By sampling a few sips, the best sommeliers can discern facts about the type of grapes that were used to make the wine and where on earth they were grown. I think that in the coming weeks you Capricorns should launch an effort to reach a comparable level of sensitivity and perceptivity about any subject you care about. It’s a favorable time to become even more masterful about your specialties; to dive deeper into the areas of knowledge that captivate your imagination.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Every language is a work-in-progress. New words constantly insinuate themselves into common usage, while others fade away. If you traveled back in time to 1719 while remaining in your current location, you’d have trouble communicating with people of that era. And today linguistic evolution is even more rapid than in previous ages. The Oxford English Dictionary adds more than a thousand new words annually. In recognition of the extra verbal skill and inventiveness you now posses, Aquarius, I invite you to coin a slew of your own fresh terms.

To get you warmed up, try this utterance I coined: vorizzimo! It’s an exclamation that means “thrillingly beautiful and true.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

One of history’s most audacious con men was George C. Parker, a Pisces. He made his living selling property that did not legally belong to him, like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Statue of Liberty. I suspect you could summon his level of salesmanship and persuasive skills in the coming weeks. But I hope you will use your nearly magical powers to make deals and perform feats that have maximum integrity. It’s OK to be a teensy bit greedy, though. Homework: Name a beautiful thing you were never capable of doing until now. https://FreeWillAstrology.com

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $591,942.73 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by

the property receiver, if applicable.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (949) 860-9155 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit www.chtrustdeed.com for information regarding the trustee’s sale using the file number assigned to this case, which is 18100304. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT if the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Further, if the foreclosure sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid and shall have no further recourse or remedy against the Mortgagor, Mortgagee, or Trustee herein.
