OPINION Editorial

Balancing nature and personal priorities W

hen it comes to studying the impacts of human activity on the planet, the majority of scientific evidence points to degradation, from worsening weather conditions (including enduring drought) to unexpected extinction of animal species to coral bleaching and beyond. The list of negative effects is practically endless. This in turn leads to declining quality of life for all, especially for people in developing countries. There are countless efforts by caring people to address these issues, calling for and enacting all sorts of new policies and legislation mandating care and concern with the long-term in mind; but still, problems persist and worsen. It doesn’t help that many do not feel there are manmade problems to address, including the president. It is an uphill battle that can be wearisome to even the most dedicated environmental advocate, so much so that apathy and selfcenteredness can take over. Along with the disappointing environmental news comes the serious struggle just to keep up with all that is expected in everyday life, including escalating costs of gas, housing, food, etc. Staying focused on reducing personal carbon footprints, recycling at every turn, planting trees, et al, may be the least of many people’s concerns. Thankfully, there are several Ventura County residents who cannot be moved from their pursuit of a healthier planet, starting at a homegrown grassroots level. This week’s feature, “Climate Action Report,” showcases the work of area nonprofits, municipal government, politicians and individuals who dedicate time and energy to scaling back carbon emissions on a local level — which alters the overall impact on a global level. It is rather impressive to witness the commitment of these individuals to do what they can in the hopes of improving the status

quo before the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists Doomsday Clock hits midnight — it currently stands at two minutes till the midnight hour. Rachel Bronson, Ph.D., the president of Bulletin, wrote on Jan. 24, “It is still 2 minutes to midnight . . . This new abnormal is a pernicious and dangerous departure from the time when the United States sought a leadership role in designing and supporting global agreements that advanced a safer and healthier planet.” It is undoubtedly difficult to comprehend what impact it will have if we each individually decide to do things a little differently. But first and foremost, we must go out and enjoy nature locally. We must recognize the magnificence of life growing all around us, which is at a wondrous peak of green abundance, an unusual sight after prolonged drought coupled with the aftermath of the Thomas, Hill and Woolsey fires. We must seek to experience nature’s bounty, visiting the local harbors, relaxing on the beach, listening to the ocean and going on nature hikes. Once we have a fair fill of nature, then we must try to understand that it is not just what nature can do for us, but how to balance natural gifts with mindfulness, to ensure that those gifts will endure for many generations to come. That also includes finding reasonable ways to improve the lives of those who are struggling so that they, too, can contribute to being better environmental advocates versus simply staying focused on personal issues of the day. It’s certainly a tightrope walk to put nature and others first, but if we don’t, then what will the outcome be in the next 20 years? If we think the news is bad now, just sit around and do nothing and watch as the headlines become even more startling.

neath. More results are due this spring. Now, in the midst of this uncertainty, the operator of this field is proposing 79 new tar sands wells near multiple water wells between Oxnard and Camarillo. Under current laws, the oil operator’s application to the county doesn’t even require a review of the potential hazards to our health. It’s a risky experiment to continue cyclic steam activity beneath our water wells without allowing USGS scientists to complete their studies. Our group, Citizens for Responsible Oil and Gas, applauds the work of Supervisor Steve Bennett in proposing a temporary moratorium of cyclic steam activity near aquifers until we know more. The safety of our water supply is at risk. Let our scientists finish their work and let’s take a hard look at the blanket expansion of oil operations without up-to-date studies.

Why do you?

Besides the fact “Cristians” couldn’t vote for the emperor or join a political party, Nero wouldn’t allow for it. So, to argue “Cristians” didn’t vote is a logical fallacy.

Reading for compassion Santa Paula library launches book club series on homelessness by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

s emotions run high in Santa Paula regarding its homeless population, the Blanchard Community Library is offering a new perspective on the situation through a series of lectures and a community reading project. The library received a grant through Book to Action, a program of the California Center for the Book, which expands the idea of a book club to include events with authors and lecturers on the subject. For Santa Paula, the author Britt Collins’ novel Strays was chosen by Adult Services Librarian Justin Formanek. “A lot of people are more inclined to feel more compassion for animals, I think, than they do people a lot of the time,” said Formanek. The book follows a homeless man who adopts a stray cat only later to learn that the cat has a home, leaving him with a tough decision on whether or not to return it. Formanek, a new resident of Santa Paula, says that he wasn’t aware of the goings on in the city before choosing the book and that now that he knows, he says that he’d “like to think that wouldn’t have changed my direction.” In February, the Santa Paula City Council heard from area business owners and residents about their growing concern with the city’s increasing population of homeless individuals, some of whom, they said, had exhibited aggressive behavior. At the center of the controversy is the food pantry known as SPIRIT of Santa Paula, which also includes social services, a laundry facility, showers and meals for homeless individuals. Formanek’s series begins on May 9 with SPIRIT Director

Kay Wilson-Bolton. Formanek says that as a librarian who has worked in several libraries around the county, he was inspired to launch this series on homelessness from his personal experiences. “I think the purpose of this, and why that particular book was chosen, is to try to humanize a lot of the folks who are homeless and to make people realize that these are people who live here,” said Formanek. “Hopefully by doing that we can sort of, maybe, turn a little bit of the public opinion and try to get help to the people who are trying to help.” The series begins on Thursday, May 9, with Wi l s o n - B o l t o n , who will share how the organization is aiding the homeless in Santa Paula and opportunities for contribution or volunteering. On Monday, May 13, Chris Russell, program manager of Ventura County’s homeless services, will address the state of homelessness in the county and available resources. The documentary film The Advocates will be screened on Thursday, May 16. The film takes a look at the history of homelessness in Los Angeles. The following Monday, May 20, a TEDxBlanchardLibrary viewing party will feature talks on homelessness and poverty. The penultimate event will feature poet Brian Galetto reading from his book Not So Simple: Observations on Poverty and People on Thursday, May 23. The series will conclude with a community discussion of Strays on Thursday, May 30, open to adult readers of all levels. Free copies of Strays are available at The Blanchard Community Library located at 119 N. 8th Street, Santa Paula. For more information, call 805-525-3615 or visit www.blanchardliF brary.org.

In Brief INPUT SOUGHT ON HIGHWAY 101 WIDENING PROJECT

The Ventura County Transportation Commission will co-host workshops this week with CalTrans on proposed improvements to U.S. Highway 101, which could include adding new lanes in each direction from Ventura to Thousand Oaks. The project, currently in the environmental and preliminary engineering phase, will need up to four years to review potential environmental impacts and engineering needs and possibly to adjust to input received from these workshops. Current plans, though not concrete, include a through lane in each direction as well as the addition of an auxiliary lane along 28 miles of the highway. The next meeting will take place tonight, Thursday, April 18, 6-8 p.m. at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Center, Founders Room, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. The second will be on Monday, April 22, 6-8 p.m. at the Camarillo Library, Community Room, 4101 Las Posas Road, Camarillo. For more information and to submit input, visit www. ourfuture101.org.

VENTURA HOUSING AUTHORITY BUYS WESTSIDE BUILDING

The Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura has purchased a building on Ventura Avenue with plans to convert it into affordable housing, following much-needed renovations. The property located on the 1200 block of Ventura Avenue currently consists of several units housing multiple occupants, some with no bathrooms. The former owner, Dario Pini, has acquired over $10,000 in city fines over complaints and issues stemming from other properties Pini owns in the city. The building is said to have hundreds of code violations that will need to be fixed prior to being converted into units, each with a bathroom and kitchenette, officials said during a Ventura City Council meeting on Monday, April 8, also requesting $368,000 in 2019-20 Community Development Block Grant funds to complete the task.

PATAGONIA FILES COMPLAINT OVER COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

Ventura-based outdoor clothing manufacturer Patagonia has filed a lawsuit against Anheuser-Busch, alleging that the beer corporation is purposefully attempting to confuse customers by releasing a product with a design similar to its own. The lawsuit stems from Anheuser-Busch’s new product, Patagonia Brewing Co., which Patagonia alleges in its lawsuit “is clearly attempting to copy Patagonia’s famous brand identity to confuse consumers.” Patagonia also points to an Anheuser-Busch event at a Colorado ski resort wherein promoters distributed the Patagonia Brewing Co. beer with T-shirts, hats and other gear emblazoned with the logo. The Patagonia beer’s logo features the name of the beer against a mountain range, similar to the logo used by the clothing manufacturer. Patagonia provided a copy of the complaint and said that they have no further comment.

OVERLOADED SANTA PAULA ANIMAL SHELTER SENDS TWO DOZEN UP NORTH

Twenty-six animals from the Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center have been transported to a no-kill rescue in northern California due to the shelter being at capacity. Ten dogs, 10 cats and six rabbits made the journey in a horse trailer donated by local business Holt Transport. “The community came together to help us get our animals to rescue to free up space for the new animals arriving,” said SPARC Executive Director Nicky Gore-Jones. “Transporting animals is always an emotional time for the staff, but it was the best choice for the animals.” SPARC is a nonprofit, no-kill shelter.

From the paws up Search Dog Foundation accepting item donations for newly rebuilt Search City by Kateri Wozny

n Dec. 4, 2017, the evening the Thomas Fire started, employees at the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) in Santa Paula prepared emergency bags with dog food, water, leashes, medicine and other necessities as they evacuated with 26 in-training search and rescue dogs to a hotel in Ventura. “A majority of the dogs are shelter dogs,” said Denise Sanders, communications and development officer for SDF. “They stayed at the hotel for more than two weeks in a conference room and were still able to perform training on the beach.” The fire ended up destroying an 1800 historic cabin with Wheeler Canyon artifacts and Search City, a rescue training area where dogs and handlers from across the U.S. train to become certified for disaster search and rescue missions. Search City is part of the National Training Center (NTC), which took three years to build and also houses kennels, beginning and advanced training areas, handlers’ accommodations, classrooms and offices. The center was only open for three months prior to the Thomas Fire. “All of Search City was lost, unfortunately. We had eight buildings and a train car that were completely destroyed,” Sanders said. “The finished training props weren’t completed yet and we did the best we could with what we had.” Search City damages exceeded $1 million and insurance was able to cover all costs. A year and a half later, construction for the new Search City is complete, with a convenience store, single-story house, two-story house, three different facades with debris that help challenge the dogs with their foot work, an auto yard with parts and fluids removed from the abandoned vehicles and three train cars, including a sleeper car containing different compartments. “We want the dogs to be challenged and make the mistakes here before they go out into a real life situation,” Sanders said. “Not only do they get to ‘play’ search, their favorite game in the whole world, but they also work on their strength and core.” A scent delivery system was also incorporated into various hiding areas of Search City. “The dogs search with their noses only and can pinpoint where the strongest scent source is within 20 seconds or less,” Sanders said. SDF is currently accepting donations for furniture and appliances, interior and exterior furnishings, convenience store items, precast items and barrels and vehicles to be used as props. “When the dogs are searching the houses, they’re not just searching an empty home, they’re searching a house that has things all over the floor to replicate a hurricane or earthquake disaster — nothing stays in the cabinets,” Sanders said. “That’s what they’re facing in a true disaster.” Sanders said all donated items and vehicles must be intact and are also tax deductible as an in-kind donation. “It’s surreal looking at [Search City] now,” Sanders said. “The donations will help add to the look and feel of Search F City.”

For more information on how to donate to the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, visit www.searchdogfoundation.org or call 805-646-1015.

Planet Ventura POST OFFICE MURALS STAMPS DEDICATION

he Ventura Main Post Office in Downtown Ventura held a dedication and unveiling ceremony in honor of the newly released commemorative stamps featuring murals found in U.S. post offices across the country. Five murals (from Arkansas, Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico and Oklahoma) were selected for depiction on the Post Office Murals stamp series. Although the Gordon K. Grant murals (“Agriculture and Industries of Ventura,” 1936-37) in the Ventura post office were not included in the series, the event served as an opportunity to honor Grant’s work; re-examine the role of murals in public art; consider the importance of the Federal Arts Project, instituted during the Depression to employ artists for public works; and the unique role the post office plays in history, community and society. — Nancy D.

A Life, Lived by Marcia Beebe

n Sunday, April 7, at 4:30 a.m., a dear, wonderful lady, Mary Jane Wilson, went home to Divine Love. Mary Jane had celebrated her 102 birthday on April 1. She was a Leisure Village resident in Camarillo. Mary Jane loved God, laughter, life, her family and her dog. She would laugh easily and say “Mary Jane-isms” quickly, with ease and matter-of-factly. “You’re never too old to try something new. I started tap dancing when I was 83.” The wonderful thing about Mary Jane is that she never stopped dancing, laughing or loving life. Did Mary Jane ever get angry at another driver? Yes, but instead of saying “You dodo,” she’d say, “God Bless you, you dodo.” Mary Jane was a big believer in love. One of her most often-spoken sayings is, “Pour love on it.” Mary Jane’s answer for the hurts of people and the world was just “pour love on it.” She was a big believer in love and the miracles it brought. I never had the privilege to know Mary Jane very well. She started coming to the Center for Spiritual Living Pleasant Valley around 2004. She was always beautifully dressed. She always wore a smile and was quick to laugh or say something funny. She shared her loving spirit with those around her. Mary Jane leaves a large and loving family, and wonderful memories of a spirit that loved life and enjoyed “kicking up her heels.” She is an inspiration and an example of a life well-lived. “Love is the answer to every question, every problem. Pour love into yourself and your life. Then trust the ‘ordinary’ miracles that happen.” A Celebration of Life for Mary Jane will be held on April 28, at noon, at Center for Spiritual Living Pleasant Valley at 221 E. Daily Drive, #1, Camarillo.

CLIMATE ACTION REPORT How locals are getting involved for global impact BY KIMBERLY RIVERS It’s Earth Day. And we are in a climate crisis. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Because of the global nature of climate change, it can seem next to impossible to achieve effective action at the local level. But there are some ways Ventura County can be part of the global groundswell to curb climate change, and you can get involved. “Local action is critical because it’s where our voice is loudest,” said Tomás Rebecchi, senior organizer with Food and Water Watch, a national nonprofit with a Ventura office. “We have the opportunity to not only protect our local air and water, but also fight climate change on a more tangible scale.” “Climate action is providing the leadership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as prepare for, adapt to, and appropriately respond to the effects of climate change,” said Supervisor Linda Parks, District 2, about how Ventura County is addressing climate change.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE?

In order to develop solutions to climate change we have to understand how and why it is occurring. Here is a quick primer. Our atmosphere — the air around us — is primarily made up of elements. It is mostly nitrogen (78 percent), oxygen (21 percent), argon (0.9 percent) with only about 0.03 percent carbon. Life on earth has evolved to live in that atmosphere. Carbon is a greenhouse gas (GHG) and is an essential part of our global ecosystem: Without carbon absorbing and then releasing heat from the sun, over time the earth would freeze. There are some natural carbon emission sources and, until somewhat recently, the earth has been able to maintain the proper balance of GHG in the atmosphere because plants, healthy soil and healthy oceans have been absorbing carbon since life on earth began. But as emissions of carbon and other GHG, like methane, increase, and the natural carbon absorbing processes decline in effectiveness due to various human activities, the total atmospheric levels of carbon exceeds the earth’s ability to absorb it. The levels increase, resulting in more heat being absorbed and released — leading to the climate crisis we are in. “Now as we approach a tipping point on reversing climate change, it is more important than ever to step up our efforts,” said Parks. “A challenge for local government is moving forward on our carbon reduction strategies while also facing immediate threats, including those related to climate change.” The Ventura County Fire Department is finding new tools and developing adaptive procedures in light of a year-round fire season.

“VCFD continues to monitor the weather and base our staffing levels accordingly to the predictions,” said Capt. Brian McGrath, Public Information Officer with VCFD. He said new mapping programs analyze weather, fuels and topography along with past fire behavior to assist in anticipating fire behavior. “We are very aggressive with our Fuel Hazard Reduction Program (FHRP) and training the public in what to do in emergencies.” According to Coastal Resilience, a project of The Nature Conservancy, there are about 16,000 people who own homes and businesses in the coastal area of Ventura County, which will be impacted by the expected 4.6 feet of sea level rise in coming years. Those levels paired with a 100year storm event could result in damage costing over $2 billion. Ventura County is preparing a coastal response plan; first steps were completed this year, proposed policies are coming soon.

VITAL ROLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND NGOS

Local climate action is being driven by community outcry. But whether the action is local, state or national in nature — city and county governments have an important role to play. “Climate change is a global issue but its impacts are local . . . this is an all-hands-on deck crisis,” said George Kopf, chair of the Ventura County chapter of the Climate Reality Project, a global nonprofit organization founded by Al Gore. “There is no ‘global’ solution that can solve climate change. Successful response to climate change is every community’s responsibility.” “Grassroots organizations like CFROG provide a way for citizens to become involved in issues they are passionate about,” said Marie Lakin, executive director of Citizens For Responsible Oil and Gas (CFROG), a Ventura County-based nonprofit whose mission is to protect communities, wild places and open spaces from the negative impacts of oil and gas extrac-

tion and related activities. “We also lend support to legislators as nation of these approaches?” they are drafting policy.

The Crucible at Camarillo Skyway Playhouse by Emily Dodi

ere’s to the brave who wrestle with giants: the seminal works of American theater. They are an intimidating lot, and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible may be one of the most daunting. Kudos to the Camarillo Skyway Playhouse for putting up a fine production that honors the work and makes it their own. Set during the 1692-93 Salem witch trials, Miller’s brilliant play is an allegory for McCarthyism and all the destruction and panic it set loose upon the United States in the middle of the last century. Yet here we are, in another particular moment in history, and The Crucible feels more relevant than ever. In the play, Miller exposes the paranoia, hysteria and corruption fueled by “good people.” It doesn’t matter if they wear Puritan collars or 1950s Brylcreem. They could be dressed in athleisure. People are people. Our dark side — and our reluctance to see it — has always been there and perhaps always will be. In a piece entitled, “Why I Wrote The Crucible” (The New Yorker, Oct. 13, 1996), Miller wrote, “What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next.” The Crucible, however, continues to be unsettling. Not in the monster-under-the-bed kind of way, but in the actual, real sense of neighbor turning upon neighbor, lies ruining lives and power running rampant. The brilliance of The Crucible is that it shows that history isn’t in the rearview mirror: It’s staring us in the face. The large cast and crew are skillfully helmed by Brian Robert Harris. The first act lays the groundwork, but it is in the second act that the production really picks up steam, when the stakes rise and emotions reach a fever pitch. There are several standout performances. Hayley

Georgeanne Cariker is excellent as Abigail Williams — the scorned young woman who whips a small town into a murderous frenzy. Adam Womack is very good as John Proctor, the moral center of the play. Sarah Boughton is wonderful as John’s dutiful wife, Elizabeth Proctor. Other notable performers include Ron Rezac as Deputy Governor Thomas Danforth and Matt Mallory as Reverend John Hale — two men who are confronted by their own convictions. The rest of the talented cast includes Bill Walthall, Jim Seerden, Scott Blanchard, Theresa Secor, Ashley Maimes, Sharyn Grose, Rosalee Calvillo, Ernest Calvillo, Maddie Boyd, Andy Brasted, Samantha Green, Benjamin Blonigan, Winter McLeod, Rita McCaffrey and Jim Diderrich. The sparse set projects the lack of human comfort — both in the physical and emotional sense. Designed by John Alejo, it transforms effortlessly from Salem meeting house to the lovers’ corner of the woods. Lighting designer Leigh Hicks achieves a subtle yet effective look. Sound designer Allan Noel enlists the occasional use of recorded voices to stoke the tension. The light and sound operator, Maxine Alpert, make the visions of the girls a reality. Costume designer Lorna Bowen and props manager Laura Comstock outfit the sizable cast perfectly, with several lovely touches. Together the cast and crew make the production wellworth seeing. The time flies and a powerful finishing touch adds to the poignant end. One line, beautifully delivered by Adam Womack, stays with us: “We are what we always were . . .” The masterful Arthur Miller leaves it to us to decide what that is. ✦ The Crucible runs through May 5 at Camarillo Skyway Playhouse, 330 Skyway Drive, Camarillo.

Talks, awards and opportunities on tap this month by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

CLU WINS NATIONAL AWARDS

California Lutheran University’s production of Columbinus was honored with the Distinguished Performance and Production Ensembles Award and the Citizen Artist Award by the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF). The 2005 play about the 1999 Columbine High School massacre examines adolescent archetypes and weaves together evidence, the shooters’ journals and interviews with parents, survivors and community leaders. Set to open at CLU on Nov. 8, all performances were cancelled in light of the mass shooting which took place at Borderline Bar and Grill on Nov. 7. (One invitation-only performance was held instead.) Ventura County locals had a chance to see the stirring and sensitive drama in February, when it offered two public performances before the show went to the Region VIII KCACTF in Los Angeles. This is the first time a CLU production has won national awards. www.callutheran.edu

Will Marsh comes to Namba on April 20.

Opening up the mind’s eye Sitarist Will Marsh to perform in Ventura by David Cotner

hen you feel nice, you feel nothing. It would be tempting to think of the sitar — the long-necked string instrument from the Indian subcontinent most commonly associated with Ravi Shankar, George Harrison and the long-lived Khan family dynasty of players — as a beacon of bliss. Of tranquility. Of inner peace. That’s only part of what it’s about. The nice part. But when you listen to the sitar, underneath the airy plucked notes and the deeper tones that emanate from the sitar’s body, you hear the sound of a drone. And drones are annoying. Just think of bagpipes. Why do bagpipe players walk while they play? To get away from the noise. Drones are annoying because they can put you in a state of mind that isn’t blissful, bucolic or placid. Drones are annoying because — much like silence — they take you on a journey that concentrates focus and turns that focus inward. Close your eyes and you’re restless. You move. You’re alone with your thoughts. Thoughts that are not necessarily so tranquil. So you train your mind. Look at those sweet, bright clothes that the sitar player wears. Look at how intent and intense he is while he plays. You think of how nice this all is. You think of The Beatles. Did I leave the iron on? Your mind wanders. Open your eyes. The drones that a sitar creates put you in touch with something greater than yourself. Even if only for a moment, this transportive, transformative instrument shows something to you that no one else will know. No one else will experience the same transforming moment, even though there’s a bunch of

people all in a room together. But this is not aloneness. Far from it. The deeper you go into the simple, deeply human experience of listening, the more you hear. The more you hear, the more you delve deeply into your own self. Free association of images occurs. It’s a psychedelic experience without the need of psychedelics to experience. And sometimes, going deeper into your own self sucks. Is every musical moment supposed to deliver you unto joy on high? Does each time that you listen to your favorite song give you the same amount of goosebumps? Did you count? If not, why? The sitar’s underpinning drones also connect it to a deeper level of emotion. Of sadness. Of loss. Of meditation on the impermanence of things. The reverberation of the strings fades. The player ultimately dies. The song remains — but even then, for how long? Sitar concerts are often presented with an implicit sense of exoticism — literally orientalism — that manifests itself as a certain level of self-congratulation and complacency. This quality can makes you feel cultural or well-rounded. And yet the sitar is not simply exemplary of a culture, but is, in fact, a doorway to it — as much as its music presents a doorway into the depth of your own psyche. Of course this makes the sitar sounds dangerous. This description suggests that it may cause you to confront feelings in yourself it summons up when you listen that you don’t particularly like. Feelings that aren’t particularly peaceful. The real danger is tranquility. The real danger is in relaxing. The real danger lies in dismissing the sitar as just another musical instrument when in fact it is also an instrument of power. Music sounds different when you close your eyes and listen — especially sitar music. It’s almost like experiencing two con-

certs. The first one comes when you manipulate your senses by seeing and hearing the performance. But the memory of what you heard when you listened to it — changeable and unreliable as memory tends to be — gives you another kind of experience entirely. Or, to paraphrase the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, “You never step in the same river twice.” The sitar is that same doorway to a greater understanding of self that glides along drones that are seemingly endless, rising on notes that soar as though seemingly weightless, and reveal that things are not always as they seem, nor appear, nor look as they immediately present themselves to you. Listen more deeply, and you’ll be rewarded with an understanding that is at once all your own and suggestive of the broader human experience. As it is your own understanding of self, not all of it will be lengthy or involved or complete. It’s only a glimpse — a glimpse as brief and fleeting as music that floats on air and vanishes into the night. And sometimes, a momentary glimpse is better than a long, difficult nothing. Will Marsh understands this. A student of the sitar since 2006, he studied at the California Institute of the Arts under Ustad Aashish Khan — a master sarode player and composer who comes from a long line of musicians; his grandfather was the famous North Indian classical musician and teacher Allauddin Khan. Marsh has immersed himself in this powerful and centuries-old style of music, and will bring his sacred and innovative improvisations to Namba Performing Arts Space in Ventura this weekend. It’s an opportunity to get a glimpse of those inner landscapes that might otherwise stay hidden. The challenge, for the listener, is knowing what eye to open, and which to close. F Will Marsh appears with tabla player Leonice Shinneman on Saturday, April 20, at 8 p.m. at Namba Performing Arts Space, 47 S. Oak. St., Ventura.

Fan fiction and the facts of life by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com After Directed by Jenny Gage Starring: Josephine Langford, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Selma Blair, Peter Gallagher, Jennifer Beals Rated PG-13 for some sexual content and some college partying 1 hr. 46 min.

here is a phenomenon known as fan fiction. Social storytelling platforms are full of tales pumped out by eager fans of books, movies, actors, actresses, adding their own spin, extending stories as they envision them. For author Anna Todd, it was devotion to the group One Direction, singer Harry Styles in particular, that served as inspiration for her postings on Wattpad. These musings led to her series of After novels, and this new movie adaptation. Believe it or not, in our world of constant tweeting, Instagram likes and YouTube stars, literature exists. It may not, however, always possess the depth of the classic romance novels that inspire it. As much can be said about the film version of After. Going into a movie specifically aimed at teens and young women is a reviewer’s challenge. Before this, I could only imagine how my then-teenaged brother once felt, taking my sister and I to see Bambi. He stayed in the lobby the whole time, smoking cigarettes. I was objective, though, looking for a film that wouldn’t assault my senses, knowing that more intergalactic sagas loom on the box office horizon. An uncomplicated, digestible, sweet, calming film, after a long week, would work. After’s plot filled that bill. Tessa Young (Josephine Langford) heads off to college, a private campus in Atlanta. (If you’re looking for realism, you’ll wonder why no one has a southern accent.) You must suspend disbelief. This is about a girl

‘‘

leaving behind her mother and her boyfriend, Noah, who’s still in high school. It’s great to see Selma Blair as the mother, Carol. Not long ago, she was in these teen roles herself. Dylan Arnold, like most of the cast, young and largely unknown, plays Noah, a sort of Josh Groban without the voice. Tessa has a roommate, Steph (Khadijha Red Thunder), who’s a wild child. It’s through her that our virginal naif meets the sullen, rebellious Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin, nephew of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes). Hardin is the screen version of author Todd’s Harry Styles fixation; the apple of many a fevered teen eye. British and boorish to a semi-cultured extent, he pursues Tessa, sparking young love and, naturally, heartbreak. Hardin’s punkish attitude is a direct result of his relationship with his father (Peter Gallagher), who’s also Chancellor of the University. Oh . . . and the father’s about to marry his second wife, played by the ageless Jennifer Beals. It’s unfair to describe the themes in any way other than this: A good girl comes of age falling for a flawed boy; life’s initial burst of pleasure and pain. As elementary as the gist of Romeo and Juliet, not as vapid and puerile as either version of Endless Love. Dopamine for girls, ipecac for guys. Ladies will admire Tessa for her fortitude, dudes will think she should jam a fork into Hardin’s forehead. This is where films defy their own categorization. Despite my own craving for accuracy, like those southern accents that truly should be there, and a lack of character development, I found a gentleness to this film that was refreshing. No murderer was lurking around every corner, and abuse is only alluded to in the vaguest of ways. Plato was to have stated, in ancient times, “Before we speak, let us define our terms.” After can be defined as a good night out for the girls, or a couple of youngsters on a date. Don’t look for teary speeches from director Jenny Gage at the Independent Spirit Awards. That’s not what ♦ this movie is for.

A good girl comes of age falling for a flawed boy; life’s initial burst of pleasure and pain.

the tuber, this creation boasted salmon-stuffed mashed potato spheres that were breaded and deep fried. Showcasing the same sauce duo as the bravas, the bombas had a dichotomy of textures and piquancies that interfaced marvelously. Taking the traditional approach to Spanish dining, I prolonged my flavor-fueled voyage by waiting to order my next pairing until the Estrella was closer to half-empty than half-full. Once that occurred I settled on the paella (because why wouldn’t I at a tapas bar?) and a couple of pintxos. The paella at La Bodega is a shape-shifting iteration that varies upon visit, and this particular day it was grilled squid and chorizo sausage. The saffron overtone was on point, and the citrus presence gave it an adequate bite that balanced the salty characteristics of the chorizo. I tend to go heavy on the smoked paprika when I make this dish, so I asked for a side of the bravas tomato sauce and that set the whole party off. The pintxos, which are basically a form of tomato-less bruschetta, provide a creative way to get involved with the meal. Patrons can mix and match toppings, which include a variety of imported meats and cheeses, among other options. I went with manchego cheese and Serrano ham, and both stepped up their game to delicious heights. The closing order was more-or-less a case study in gluttony, but since I was there for nearly two hours I figured, what the hell? I was greatly rewarded for this overindulgent behavior with the rich swagger of the house special berenjena sandwich. This featured hearty grilled slices of eggplant and a medley of roasted peppers and onions, all bound by melted manchego and enhanced with a generous spread of first-rate aioli. It was a magnificent way to wrap up my La Bodega experience. In addition to what I highlighted, there are a bevy of cured meats and cheeses that are featured, as well as the traditional grilled octopus. I will most definitely be returning soon to explore some of those other options that my waistband vetoed on this go-round, in particular the sangria that my neighbor at the bar was enjoying. So head out and say “hola” to Luis and his crew, because lazy summers never tasted so good. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

There’s Something About Marriott

I’

m a married lesbian. Yesterday on the phone, my wife invited her sister to spend the night (in our small one-bedroom apartment) without asking me. When I confronted her, saying it’s OUR home, she said, “It’s my sister!” Family’s very important to her, and her sister didn’t come, so I let it go. But what’s the protocol with guests, specifically family? — Feelings Ignored To err is human — as is the tendency to duck personal responsibility like it’s a shoulder-fired missile.

by amy alkon We have a powerful drive to be consistent — to have our actions match what we claim to stand for. We are also frequently inconsistent. Welcome to “cognitive dissonance,” social psychologist Leon Festinger’s term for the discomfort we feel when we hold two competing beliefs or attitudes or when our beliefs and our behaviors clash. An example of this (totally random!) would be the belief “I’m a loving, respectful, considerate spouse” and then the behavior “I just hauled off and told my sister our home is her hotel room — without so much as a courtesy ‘Hey, hon …?’ to my wife.” Social psychologist Elliot Aronson, one of Festinger’s former students, found that we manage our inconsistencies through “self-justification.” This involves creating an explanation for our hypocritical attitudes or behavior that makes us look good: smart, honest, and 100 percent in the right. So (again, super randomly!) an example of self-justification would be a spouse who’s just acted like a singleton instead of a partner — who excuses it with “Family is everything to me!” instead of conceding “Whoopsy … got a little impulsive on the phone and forgot to run Sis’s visit by you.” (Just a guess, but you probably wouldn’t have been all “Sorry, but the couch is totally booked up with

our unfolded laundry.”) As for your question — “What’s the protocol with guests, specifically family?” — unfortunately, there’s no set of numbered stone tablets to answer that. In fact, as with so many questions that come up in relationships, the process of answering — not the actual answer — is what really matters. I see this constantly in my work as a volunteer mediator (doing free dispute resolution for Los Angeles residents in the LA City Attorney’s office). Conflicts that turn ugly and

In my mediations, I’ve found that positions that are deeply important to a person can become far less do-ordie when you tend to their underlying interests. This starts with framing whatever happened in, uh, flameretardant rather than inflammatory terms. You do this by expressing your feelings — “I felt really humiliated when X happened’’ — instead of making accusations: “You did this, you relationship criminal!” Hearing feelings (instead of blame) allows you to empathize with each other. (HINT: You should actively try to empathiz e — and, in mediator lingo, “validate” feelings,” meaning let the other person know that you get where they’re coming from.) For example, in addressing this guest issue, you might’ve said to your wife, “I hear how important family is to you.” Hearing that you understand eliminates the need for her to try to MAKE you — meaning she can approach the conflict between you more like a loving partner than a “Thrones” swordsmistress, bent on turning the enemy into a human doily. The beauty of dialing down from combat mode like this is that it enables you to engage in collaborative problem-solving — for example, brainstorming together to come

Conflicts that turn ugly and escalate are typically the result of people pushing for “positions” without regard for “interests.” escalate are typically the result of people pushing for “positions” without regard for “interests.” Positions are our goals — the “what,” as in what we want another person to do (or stop doing). So, your position might be “I want to be asked, even just as a formality, before you tell somebody they can stay over.” Interests are the underlying motivations — the “why”: “I want to be treated with respect, like my feelings matter.”

up with ideas for how things could work regarding overnight guests at your place. And finally, a little real-worldism in approaching any disagreement: In the heat of the moment, most of us are about as able to speak calmly and listen with an open mind as we are to flap our wings and fly to the corner store. Following the lead of parents with tantrummy children, you could preplan to say “Hey, let’s take a time out” when things get heated. You could each briefly go off on your own (take a walk around the block, take a bath) and consider whether the other might maybe, POSSIBLY have a point. In this case, for example, you two are sharing a home, not running a hotel — which is why you have a cat, not a concierge, and there’s no engraved note informing guests that they will be socked with a credit card charge if they make off with your ratty bathrobe. ♦ (c)2019, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

French writer Simone de Beauvoir sent a letter to her lover, Aries author Nelson Algren. She wrote, “I like so much the way you are so greedy about life and yet so quiet, your eager greediness and your patience, and your way of not asking much of life and yet taking much because you are so human and alive that you find much in everything.” I’d love to see you embody that state in the coming weeks, Aries. In my astrological opinion, you have a mandate to be both utterly relaxed and totally thrilled; both satisfied with what life brings you and skillfully avid to extract the most out of it; both at peace with what you already have and primed to grab for much more.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

The Beat Generation of American poets arose in the late 1940s as a rebellion against materialistic mainstream culture and academic poetry. It embraced sexual liberation, Eastern spirituality, ecological awareness, political activism, and psychedelic drugs. One of its members, Jack Kerouac, tweaked and ennobled the word “beat” to serve as the code name for their movement. In its old colloquial usage, “beat” meant tired or exhausted. But Kerouac reconsecrated it to mean “upbeat” and “beatific,” borrowing from the Italian word beato, translated as “beatific.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because you’re on the verge of a similar transition: from the old meaning of “beat” to the new.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“Scattered through the ordinary world, there are books and artifacts and perhaps people who are like doorways into impossible realms, of impossible and contradictory truth.” Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges said that, and now I’m passing it on to you — just in time for your entrance into a phase when

28 —

— April 18, 2019

by rob brezsny

such doorways will be far more available than usual. I hope you will use Borges’ counsel as a reminder to be alert for everyday situations and normal people that could lead you to intriguing experiences and extraordinary revelations and life-changing blessings.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

The Free Will Astrology Committee To Boldly Promote Cancerian’s Success is glad to see that you’re not politely waiting for opportunities to come to you. Rather, you’re tracking them down and proactively wrangling them into a form that’s workable for your needs. You seem to have realized that what you had assumed was your fair share isn’t actually fair; that you want and deserve more. Although you’re not being mean and manipulative, neither are you being overly nice and amenable; you’re pushing harder to do things your way. I approve! And I endorse your efforts to take it even further.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Many experts who have studied the art and science of running fast believe that it’s best if a runner’s legs are symmetrical and identical in their mechanics. But that theory is not supported by the success of champion sprinter Usain Bolt. Because he has suffered from scoliosis, his left leg is a half-inch longer than his right. With each stride, his left leg stays on the track longer than his right, and his right hits the track with more force. Some scientists speculate that this unevenness not only doesn’t slow him down, but may in fact enhance his speed. In accordance with current astrological variables, I suspect you will be able to thrive on your asymmetry in the coming weeks, just as your fellow Leo Usain Bolt does.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Virgo adventurer Jason Lewis traveled around the

world using transportation powered solely by his own body. He walked, bicycled, skated, rowed, pedaled and swam more than 46,000 miles. I propose that we make him your role model for the next four weeks. You’re primed to accomplish gradual breakthroughs through the use of simple, persistent, incremental actions. Harnessing the power of your physical vitality will be an important factor in your success.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Curcumin is a chemical found in the plant turmeric. When ingested by humans, it may diminish inflammation, lower the risk of diabetes, support cardiovascular health, and treat digestive disorders. But there’s a problem: the body is inefficient in absorbing and using curcumin — unless it’s ingested along with piperine, a chemical in black pepper. Then it’s far more available. What would be the metaphorical equivalent to curcumin in your life? An influence that could be good for you, but that would be even better if you synergized it with a certain additional influence? And what would be the metaphorical equivalent of that additional influence? Now is a good time to investigate these questions.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“I have the usual capacity for wanting what may not even exist,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell. How abut you, Scorpio? Do you, too, have an uncanny ability to long for hypothetical, invisible, mythical, and illusory things? If so, I will ask you to downplay that amazing power of yours for a while. It’s crucial for your future development that you focus on yearning for actual experiences, real people, and substantive possibilities. Please understand: I’m not suggesting you’re bad or wrong for having those seemingly impossible desires. I’m simply saying that for now you will thrive on being attracted to things that are genuinely available.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“Sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I’m guessing you’ve had that experience — maybe more than usual, of late. But I suspect you’ll soon be finding ways to express those embryonic feelings. Congrats in advance! You’ll discover secrets you’ve been concealing from yourself. You’ll receive missing information whose absence has made it hard to understand the whole story. Your unconscious mind will reveal the rest of what it has thus far merely been hinting at.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

All over the world, rivers and lakes are drying up. Sources of water are shrinking. Droughts are becoming more common and prolonged. Why? Mostly because of climate change. The good news is that lots of people are responding to the crisis with alacrity. Among them is an engineer in India named Ramveer Tanwar. Since 2014, he has organized efforts leading to the rejuvenation of twelve dead lakes and ponds. I propose we make him your role model for the coming weeks. I hope he will inspire you to engage in idealistic pursuits that benefit other people. And I hope you’ll be motivated to foster fluidity and flow and wetness everywhere you go. The astrological time is ripe for such activities.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

A blogger named Caramelizee offered her definition of elegance: “being proud of both your feminine and masculine qualities; seeing life as a non-ending university and learning everything you can; caring for yourself with tender precision; respecting and taking advantage of silences; tuning in to your emotions without being oversensitive; owning your personal space and being generous enough to allow other

people to own their personal space.” This definition of elegance will be especially apropos and useful for you Aquarians in the coming weeks.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

You Pisceans have been summoning heroic levels of creative intensity. You’ve been working extra hard and extra smart. But it seems that you haven’t been fully recognized or appreciated for your efforts. I’m sorry about that. Please don’t let it discourage you from continuing to express great integrity and authenticity. Keep pushing for your noble cause and offering your best gifts. I’m proud of you! And although you may not yet have reaped all the benefits you will ultimately sow, three months from now I bet you’ll be pleased you pushed so hard to be such a righteous servant of the greater good.

CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE

The Clean Power Alliance (CPA) purchases electricity from only renewable sources (wind, solar) based on the levels needed to serve the customers in jurisdictions that have joined the alliance. The electricity is added to that regions power grid and delivered by the regular public utility, in this case Southern California Edison. This effectively increases the overall amount of clean energy in the system, reducing over time the dependence on fossil fuel-based electricity.

one-third of the CPA agencies selected 100 percent clean renewable energy.”accountable to local climate solutions,” said Kopf. Recently the group has been reaching out to members of the Clean Power Alliance Board to ensure that they know renewable energy is important to their members. “Our role as a community group is important because it gives our chapter members a unified voice.” To get involved, contact their Facebook group: www.facebook.com/ClimateRealityProjectVentu✦ raCounty/.

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

Nancy Swanson, LMFT We accept most insurance including TriCare.
