What is IMPACT II?

IMPACT II is a curriculum sharing and recogni�on program for educators in kindergarten through grade 12, in all subject areas and speciali�a�ons. Since 1993, Ventura County Educators have received more than $300,000 in sponsor funded grants.

How does it work?

ECDL

Educators submit individual or team grant proposals they have developed, provided the resources for and used with students in their own classrooms. The grants are a way of helping to cover any out of pocket expenses that the educator may have incurred in developing and implemen�ng the curriculum. A commi�ee of educators, school administrators and business partners typically select the most uni�ue, innova�ve and ready�to�share ideas to receive the sponsored grants. The grants are then awarded at a Spring Educator recogni�on dinner.

Where are the Lesson Plans?

OPINION Editorial

Over 10,000 lies but who’s counting? S

ince President Donald Trump’s election, the country has become further polarized due to his epic tirade on truth. While many find the president’s behavior to be despicable, dishonorable, impeachable, in reality, if anything, it’s surely an alarming realization that Trump is the actualization of the kind of leadership millions wanted and continue to support. When evidencebased facts no longer really matter, the president is then able to redefine not only perception, but accountability as a whole for the masses to follow. American society feels more like lemmings following each other right off the cliff. The Washington Post reported on April 29 a unique accomplishment for our Commander in Chief: “It took President Trump 601 days to top 5,000 false and misleading claims in The Fact Checker’s database, an average of eight claims a day. But on April 26, just 226 days later, the president crossed the 10,000 mark — an average of nearly 23 claims a day in this seven-month period.” When reflecting on Trump’s version of reality, where he makes no apologies for what he has said despite the media’s constant fact checking, it seems that the country is broken into those who support the idea of the news media being Public Enemy No. 1 versus news loyalists, especially brand name news, from Fox to MSNBC to the New York Times. There are, however, many who are disenfranchised from politics and news altogether because of polarizing tactics that diminish a sense of community. And this is the best form of democracy at work, allegedly. Once we take 10 steps back from this media circus, this presidential debacle, this nation stoked by fear and paranoia and loathing, we can see clearly that Trump is one of the most effective, prolific, lying leaders of all time. But Trump is winning in such a grand way because

our focus, as a divided nation, is so set on him, whether that’s blaming him for all of our problems or attributing our successes to him. It’s no wonder we continue to see increasing rates of drug addiction, suicide, divorce, low birth rates, etc. We simply care more about those things out of our control than the hungry on the street and the depressed under our roofs. And that is where the real news comes in. The due diligence of the press is to ground communities and society as a whole in a shared perception of the truth. We report what credible agencies and people divulge about relevant issues, we rely on them to be forthcoming. From that point, the journalist is responsible to tread a path that is fair in sharing what has been learned. “Donald J. Trump is not the first and won’t be the last American president to create jitters about the First Amendment, so be humble, be skeptical and beware of being infected by the very things you’re fighting against,” said Andrew Hamilton biographer Ron Chernow at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner on Saturday, April 27. One thing in particular journalists seem to be fighting against is the idea that integrity and credibility don’t matter. But integrity, consistency, awareness, culpability — those should be the top priorities for every journalist. The same should apply to politicians, but that’s what democracy is for. When politicians aren’t grounded in truth, we vote them out. But how can a public trust news media when the giants are so polarized? Maybe it’s time to shift our attention to what is in our grasp: the local news and issues that we can impact (through all those aforementioned attributes) to better our community and get a true sense of what kind of president we need in the White House versus focusing on the one so many don’t want.

reports and question witnesses, IF any live ones can be found. I repeat myself for emphasis: The police will NOT be there while you are getting robbed, mugged, raped or killed. They will NOT show up until you are maimed, robbed, raped or dead and the perps are LONG GONE!!! The foregoing is especially true for senior citizens. Any criminal over the age of 12 can EASILY overwhelm MOST seniors over the age of 70. The elderly have NO defense, and the police will NOT be there when they are attacked, or killed, or robbed. Conclusion: People MUST, MUST, MUST protect themselves by ANY means necessary, using guns, clubs, or pepper spray. Especially true for the seniors over 70. Since MOST crimi-

nals carry weapons, and WE the law abiding VICTIMS are NOT allowed to do so, we MUST improvise, using clubs, canes, baseball bats or pepper spray. I STRONGLY advise EVERY senior citizen, especially those over 70 (like me) to buy pepper spray (two or three small canisters) and get trained on how to use it. Carry it with you EVERYWHERE you go and keep it handy so you can reach and activated it fast. JOHN JAY “Voice of Truth Oxnard

Expendable pets I absolutely love cats and I had attended Rescuecon. It was full of rescue animals to find forever homes, and I learned a lot, but if people handled their responsibilities the way they should, innocent animals wouldn’t have to suffer because of their dumb owners. It doesn’t get to the root of the problem, and that’s finding a way to hold people accountable for their negligent actions to cats. Rescue is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but people will continue to think they are expendable and leave them behind when moving, or whatever, and assume someone will feel sorry and take care of them. I feed around 10-12 cats twice a day in my area. Sadly, most of them are owned by someone that just lets them roam around and doesn’t make any effort. And they are kittens! I shouldn’t have to remind them to wipe their butts after using the toilet. I shouldn’t need to do what they should be doing in the first place. The cats are trying to survive. It isn’t their fault they had stupid owners. They didn’t ask for that to happen and surely is not the cat’s fault for being dealt a crappy hand. You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem. OWN UP TO YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITIES, PEOPLE! And for goodness sake, people, there is a big difference between feral cats and stray/abandoned cats. Show some intelligence.

any times we hear the slogan and see the bumper stickers declaring that we “support the troops,” but once the rubber hits the road (financially speaking) we scale back and suddenly other priorities pop up. Right now, in Oxnard, there are numerous veterans seeking assistance, and many feel the people they supported in service are not supporting them through services. If we want to consider ourselves a nation that “supports the troops,” then we have to look beyond personal politics and take care of those who need our love and support. At a recent town hall meeting in Oxnard concerning the Oxnard Veterans Affairs clinic, numerous men and women complained about will remain until Congress changes it. long lines, phone call problems and the endless “If we could change it, we would,” said Robamount of red tape. ert McKenrick, the executive director of cliniJoe Richardson, a member of the Vietnam cal care for the Greater Los Angeles HealthVeterans of Ventura County, argued that he care System. has received fantastic care, but acknowledged Congress can make quick changes if they the issues Johnson that his fellow brothers and sis- want to.

state and county representatives are callous to the cause of taking care of veterans, one could argue there’s no benefit politically for them. In 2013, Michael Moore wrote a very passionate editorial on Facebook, challenging the rhetoric we use: “I don’t support the troops, America, and neither do you. I am tired of the ruse we are playing on these brave citizens in our armed forces. And guess what — a lot of these soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines see right through the bullshit of those words, ‘I support the troops!’ spoken by Americans with such false sincerity — false because our actions don’t match our words.” While Moore has his own issues, he is correct. Something as simple as a phone line is easily fixed. The best path Ventura County can take is to ists to make a lot of money. We need to take taken action through the power of the call.

End of an era

Ventura Harbor says goodbye to general manager Oscar Peña by Chris O’Neal

What attracted you to the General Manager position in 1999?

chris@vcreporter.com

n April 30, Ventura Harbor General Manager Oscar F. Peña retired from the position he had held since 1999. Over the course of his two-decade-long career, Peña helped navigate rough waters following the Ventura Port District’s bankruptcy, secured federal funding to keep the harbor operational through regular dredging of the entryway, and oversaw growth in the harbor’s commercial fishing industry. Peña will stay with the Ventura Port District as the Business Operations Manager through July to assist in the transition. Deputy General Manager Brian Pendleton was appointed new General Manager on April 18.

VCReporter: What would you consider the most important decisions of your tenure? Peña: The one that’s on the top of minds for everybody, because they’re in construction right now, OSCAR PEÑA is leasing to Portside Ventura Harbor, which is a 300-unit apartment and some commercial space and a marina that is located in the northeast harbor area. That was essential in the early 2000s because the District was coming out of bankruptcy and we needed to establish a new source of revenue for the District long term. The other thing we did was refinance all the loans we had. We had about $16 million in debt, some with the Department of Building and Water for improvements to the harbor entrance or some other real estate transactions, so we consolidated the loans with one lender and were able to save quite a bit of money. I think the other thing that was key during my tenure was putting more emphasis on commercial fishing to validate the need for dredging funds for the Ventura Harbor entrance.

I’d been very successful in part because the economy started to improve in the late ’90s when I had a contract with the Port to manage the [Ventura Harbor Village]. I had the opportunity to improve the harbor on a larger scale and develop an economic strategy that was going to improve the viability of the District and harbor. It started with Portside Ventura Harbor, but it continued. I was able to negotiate several ground leases with the Ventura Marina, the Ventura Mobile Home Park, the Ventura Harbor Boat Yard, fuel dock and Yacht Club. With those new leases we were able to generate more revenue than we were previously getting.

What are some of the current challenges that a new general manager should be aware of? Our current deputy general manager is very well aware that the economic development of the harbor is key. The new fisheries [Ventura Shellfish Enterprise] is a project he’s been focused on, and I think he’s getting closer to making that a reality. I think the future funding for dredging will always be a priority and a challenge, but fortunately he’s been my assistant for the last four years and is very familiar with these challenges.

How will you spend your retirement? I’ve been very active with the Ventura Visitors and Convention bureau for the past 20 years and with the Chamber of Commerce and really enjoyed that. I’d really like to focus with nonprofit organizations in our community and I feel like I have the skill set that some of these groups could utilize. Obviously I want to spend more time with the family and do some traveling as well. Staying on as the business operations manager, which is currently an empty position at the port district because of my CalPERS requirements of not being able to become a consultant until after six months, this was an avenue our board felt was certainly one that would be advantageous to both of us. I’m happy I’ll be able to help out for a short period of time and happy to turn a new chapter in my life. F

Kindness Corner ROTARY PLANTS TREES IN PARK The Camarillo Rotary Club has planted dozens of trees at Camarillo Grove Park, which was devastated by the 2018 Hill Fire. Also in 2018, Rotary International challenged each chapter to plant a tree for each member in an effort to combat climate change. “Everyone tries to figure out what they can do to make a sustainable difference after a disaster. While sandbagging was important as an effort to save those trails, a Rotary Grove of trees will be a more long lasting benefit that we can enjoy and feel good about,” said Jay Berger, Rotary membership chair. — Chris O’Neal

In Brief FOOD FORWARD RECEIVES ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD

Food Forward, a southern California nonprofit that collects food that would otherwise go to waste from privately owned and public trees and farmers markets, has received an award for innovation in preventing food waste. The Environmental Protection Agency’s Food Recovery Challenge award was given to Food Forward on Monday, April 29, for the fourth consecutive year. The National Resources Defense Council says that up to 40 percent of the food grown in the U.S. never makes it to a plate due to waste such as throwing away perfectly edible fruits and vegetables or spoilage. In Ventura County, Food Forward says one in 13 individuals are “food insecure,” meaning that they have unreliable food resources. Food Forward says that in 2019, the organization is projected to recover 27.5 million pounds of fruit and vegetables, a 23 percent increase over 2018. Recovered food is donated to hunger relief agencies in eight Southern California counties, including Ventura.

OJAI MUSIC TEACHER INDICTED FOR LEWD ACTS ON A CHILD

John Edward Zeretzke, 60, of Ventura, was indicted by a grand jury in Orange County on April 18 on charges involving five girls under the age of 14 in Southern California. Zeretzke, founder of the international music program Flutes Around the World, was arrested and placed in jail following the indictment. In 2017, an investigation began when it was alleged that some flutes given to schoolchildren in the Orange County school district were tainted with semen. The new allegations stem from what prosecutors say was an attempt made by Zeretzke to convince what he believed to be a 15-year-old girl to have sex with him and that in the same year, he allegedly traveled to the Philippines to have sex with an underage person. Zeretzke taught music lessons around Southern California including in several schools around Ventura County.

VENTURA COUNTY FAIR INCREASING COST TO PARK

Jay and Joni Berger dedicate oak tree in Camarillo Grove Park.

Visitors to the upcoming Ventura County Fair should prepare for parking sticker shock as prices increase ahead of the annual event. An increase in cost will bring daily parking rates to $15, up from $10, for the fair that begins on July 31. The Ventura County Fairgrounds says that the cost increase is due to an

increase in expenses. While the cost of parking at the fairgrounds may be going up, several free shuttles and busses will be operating out of multiple locations around the county.

VENTURA COUNTY AIR POLLUTION GRADE TAKES HIT FOLLOWING FIRES

Despite years of improvement, Ventura County has received an F grade in the 2019 State of the Air report released by the American Lung Association. The report awards grades in several categories, including High Ozone Days, 24-hour Particle Pollution and more. In the former, Ventura County received an F, though long-term trends show that the county is doing better, from a high of 132 High Ozone days between 19961998 to 14 between 2015-2017. Between 2002 and 2016, Ventura County had very few high particle pollution days, but a distinctive upswing in 2017 gave the county an F following the Thomas fire. To read the full report, visit www.

OIL COMPANY DENIED CONTINUED FRACKING IN SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL

Texas-based DCOR, LLC, has had its request denied to continue fracking operations off of Platform Gilda, 8.8 miles off of the coast in the Santa Barbara Channel. In a ruling issued Tuesday, April 23, a federal judge said that harm caused by fracking to threatened species in the Chanel outweighs the potential monetary harm to DCOR, LLC. In 2018, a judge prevented the Trump administration from approving well stimulation treatments, also known as fracking, off the California coast until environmental protection reviews had been performed.

“Turned this county blue” Democrats’ Spring Fling a celebration of winning, reflection and planning ahead by David Michael Courtland pariah42@yahoo.com

About 200 local Democrats celebrated their party’s recent success at the Spring Fling on Saturday, April 27, the Ventura County chapter’s annual fundraiser in Thousand Oaks. Assemblywoman Monique Limón, Santa Barbara, described efforts to counter Trump Administration policies with bills supporting Planned Parenthood and making offshore oil drilling harder to pursue. “We’ve stepped up time and time again; we know we have more work to do, but you need to know that we will fight back,” said Limón, who said she was authoring a bill to unionize child care workers. One of several guest speakers, Limón was followed by State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, who noted the party’s success at increasing Ventura County’s Democratic voter turnout. “Back in the prehistoric days this was a very red area,” said Jackson. “We have turned this county blue.” Jackson said Democrats “understand America is home to people from everywhere who are willing to work and play by the rules,” and “protect the rights of working men and women.” State legislators are working hard to recognize that there is indeed climate change, said Jackson, citing the Thomas and Woolsey fires as examples of how it has affected Ventura County. “We believe in all the things that make this party great and will make this country great again,” Jackson said. Featured guest speaker State Treasurer Fiona Ma talked about

her job, which she was elected to in November with more votes than any other candidate for the office in state history. “I really do love my job,” said Ma, adding “I feel like an undergrad; it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.” Ma said her office handles $2 trillion annually and that thanks to a good tax season, state funds are $2 billion more than Gov. Gavin Newsom’s 2019 budget. She described some of the projects her office has taken on, including refunding the CalVet program, which helps veterans purchase homes, and the Scholarship 529 program, which helps parents set up tax-advantaged investment accounts specifically designed for college savings. Ma also talked about the coming 2020 general election, noting California’s earlier March 3 primary election date. “No longer are we going to be [just] the ATM [for candidates], we will be the important state. Candidates will be coming to our conventions,” said Ma. But although Ma said she is supporting Sen. Kamala Harris, she emphasized that Democrats need to unite behind the party’s nominee regardless of who it turns out to be, declaring “what happened three years ago can’t happen again.” “We need to support whoever our nominee is,” Ma continued. “We need to make sure we take back our White House; the amount of damage that man’s doing has to stop.” Ma finished her speech by calling on Democrats to “resist,

enis O’Leary knows that his name doesn’t scream authority on the history of Mexico, but that doesn’t stop people from asking him about the significance of Cinco de Mayo around this time of year. As an author and teacher, O’Leary has written books on his experience working alongside the Mexican Consulate, holds degrees in political science and Spanish, and served as district director for the Oxnard branch of the League of United Latin American Citizens, LULAC. O’Leary has also been an educator for close to three decades and an Oxnard School District trustee for 16 years.

In the U.S., O’Leary says that people often have various understandings of the holiday, too. “A lot of people think it must be Mexican Independence Day and a lot of people think that it has more to do with Coors and Corona beer than anything in history, but there’s a lot more to it,” said O’Leary. In fact, the holiday has less to do with independence (Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, dating back to 1810) than it does with staving off an invasion. O’Leary says that in the 1860s, Mexico was reeling from the aftermath of the Mexican civil war and had elected its first progressive president, Benito Juárez. Dealing with massive debt, Juárez asked Mexico’s creditors — Spain, England and France — for an

The good fight

Cancer patients, survivors find common ground with local support group

by Carl Kozlowski

here is perhaps no more frightening phrase one can hear from a doctor than “You’ve got cancer.” Until recent decades, the insidious disease — which can affect and decimate nearly any organ in the body — was a guaranteed death sentence, or one which could only be overcome with devastating doses of radiation or chemotherapy that made treatment a hellish experience to endure. But there have been some major signs of hope since some breakthroughs in the early 1990s, which have helped decrease American cancer rates annually by 1.8 percent among men and 1.4 percent among women and children. Today, there are more than 15.5 million cancer survivors in America, with that number expected to climb to 20.3 million in 2026. Overall, the U.S. cancer death rate has declined 27 percent in the past 25 years. A big part of the improvement stems from the large decline in smoking in the U.S., but cancer will still have a big impact on Americans as the nation’s population ages and also becomes more obese. Ultimately, 38.4 percent of Americans will face cancer at some point in their lives, with lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancers being the most common. One big key to successful survival is having a solid support network of not only friends and family, but fellow cancer patients as well — those fighting it at the same time or who have gone into remission. Thankfully, Ventura County and the rest of Southern California have some solid options to offer. Gillian Harwood has been going to one — the Cancer Support Community Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara in Westlake Village (CSC) — for several years. “When I was in the waiting room at a Kaiser medical facility, they had the number to join on their notice board,” recalls Harwood, who is an eight-year survivor of pancreatic cancer. “I’m not exactly a joiner, but I decided to after still feeling poorly a year later. I decided I needed some help and I’ve never regret-

ted it since.” “Everyone has cancer in the group or is hopefully getting better,” she adds. “There is also a caregivers group and a group for children, and for families of people with cancer. They have a lot of fitness things like mindfulness, tai chi and yoga, and everything is free. We’ve got some lovely people in our group and you get caught up in their problems, but it’s not all dreary and miserable. We have quite a few laughs as well. We have a facilitator who’s been doing it for years and she is absolutely brilliant.” Stories like that are music to the ears of Cancer Support Community Executive Director Steven Dwyer, who took the reins of the group early this year after serving as executive director at the Ventura County Habitat for Humanity chapter for several years. He notes that there are 40 other CSC chapters nationwide, with his group’s service area welcoming people from the west side of San Fernando Valley through both Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Dwyer suggests that cancer patients seeking support should go to the CSC website (cancersupportvvsb.org), which offers a calendar packed with more than 700 mind and body classes and 58 educational programs. There are also lunch talks featuring doctors discussing treatment options and cooking classes for proper nutrition, with every aspect of the nonprofit’s services covered by donor support that includes multiple fundraisers throughout the year. “Our greatest value is that, unfortunately, it’s not hard to find people impacted by cancer personally or with their family, so there’s support groups, wellness classes, education and individual counseling,” Dwyer notes. “Visualization, relaxation, stress reduction and mindfulness classes are especially popular, and there are specific classes for certain cancers like early and late stage breast cancer, prostate and general programs for any

kind of cancer. All our programs are offered at no cost to the participant because people have enough stress with their diagnosis and we’re here to support a wide variety of psychosocial programs to complement their treatment.” Anne Gessert is one CSC member who has had such positive experiences that she now works for the organization as a facilitator for their group discussions. She has battled four different cancers in her 13 years of attendance, with her pancreatic cancer in remission but her lung cancer still active.

On days I had radiation or chemo, I felt so bad, but I’d go to a group and feel, what am I bitching about – there’s guys who are not curable at this point and throwing everything at it to keep it at bay.” — John Ray

She has lived in Ventura County for the past 41 years, moving here from her native England when she got married to a fellow British émigré who already lived here. Her resilience and positive attitude are amazing, particularly considering the string of maladies she has had to endure. “It was pretty heavy duty because I was diagnosed with pancreatic and lung cancer,” Gessert says. “They had to do a bypass on my bile duct to get me stable, then did lung surgery and when I was recovering from that I had my gall bladder, pancreas, spleen and part of my intestines removed and then I had chemo. I had cancer of the appendix as well, and it was devastating and seemed unreal.” “I couldn’t take it in, what was happening, and the diagnosis was pretty poor. That was 14 years ago and most did not survive,” she continues. “Knowing that, it was such an emotional

Continued from Page 8 hit, but eventually I worked it through because I had a brilliant surgeon on both lung and pancreas operations. I am still surprised by how I’m still alive and many people think it’s amazing. So do I. But I seem to have managed so far, thanks to the Community’s health and support.” Men traditionally have been less willing to open up about their battles with cancer and other major health issues, but John Ray is one of the exceptions at the CSC. He started receiving their support in September 2015 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, and credits his attendance there with his survival and current remission status. “When I turned 50 I had a normal PSA blood test, which is really a prostate-specific antigen,” Ray explains. “When elevated, it just means you need to be looked at further. That further testing is how most men find it, or by having difficulty urinating, so I asked for all the tests.” “Every six months, my PSA went two points higher but was still being labeled as negative on cancer,” he adds. “Someone at CSC said they could help and recommended going to doctor in Ventura. My numbers indicated I was 80 percent certain of having cancer, because they took a different kind of biopsy and an ultrasound detected spots. They found a high risk, Stage 3 prostate cancer, one that could metastasize quickly, and I was fairly young for it.” Ray was so grateful for the CSC support that he keeps going to meetings even though he’s been in remission, listening to the latest treatments “because there’s always a risk that it comes back.” His passion for the organization led to his being asked to join the CSC board of directors in September 2017, and he’s using his experience as the owner of a fundraising company to serve as the CSC’s chairman of development. “The difficulty of men sharing is true, because prostate cancer can affect a man’s libido and other sexual-related functions,” says Ray. “They have men-only groups there twice a week. You don’t know you need a support group until you go to support group. It’s good camaraderie and you form good friendships with guys dealing with this every month.” “On days I had radiation or chemo, I felt so bad, but I’d go to a group and feel, what am I bitching about – there’s guys who are not curable at this point and throwing everything at it to keep it at bay,” he adds. “The group helps you appreciate your situation more, and it helps with depression. There’s a guy who’s in his 80s, getting treated from head down to his legs and still comes to support groups. I turned that around and I said I’m here because of you — if you can get out of bed, what’s my excuse? That’s how important that support group is.” F The Cancer Support Community Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara is located at 530 Hampshire Road, Westlake Village. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon.-Fri. Call 805-379-4777 or visit cancersupportvvsb.org.

DEMS Continued from Page 7 resist and unite.” After her speech Ma was asked how she could use her office to accomplish the goal she had just set. “By bringing jobs [to the state] so we can be more independent as they [the Trump Administration] threaten to defund us,” Ma answered. “Another need is housing. If we don’t build housing, that is going to affect our ability to grow,” Ma added. Assemblywoman Christy Smith, Santa Clarita, followed Ma, taking the opportunity to talk about the more progressive 18-to-24-year-olds and why the party needs to support them. FIONA MA “They are less likely to own a home, to marry and have children, to have a career path that offers them a ladder to success,” said Smith. “I sometimes see their progressivism as something I don’t want to deal with,” Smith admitted. “I may not agree with them on everything, but I will take this ball and run with it as far as I CHRISTY SMITH can.” Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, Thousand Oaks, followed Smith, thanking party activists for some important victories in November, such as gaining a majority on the Conejo Valley School Board. “We took over a school board with three very conservative candidates,” noted Irwin, adding that she had never seen such long lines at polling sites as she did in November. “I’ve never seen so many people activated.” Noting that eight of Ventura County’s nine state and federal representatives are women, Irwin asked

Democrats to focus their new-found enthusiasm on Washington, D.C. “There is no choice anymore, we need to keep the House, take over the Senate and we need to elect a Democrat as President,” said Irwin. Irwin’s comments were echoed by Congresswoman Katie Hill, Santa Clarita, who arrived late in the event to also emphasize the importance of Democratic activism in Congress. “We are fighting for the fate of our democracy, providing representation that we haven’t had before,” Hill said. Later Hill shared her take on the impeachment debate in the House of Representatives. “I think we really have to be sure everything is out in the open,” Hill said, a position similar to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s. “It’s important for us to do our due diligence,” Hill continued. “I’m KATIE HILL glad we’re being deliberate about it; it might be slower than some people want, but I think it’s important.” State Sen. Henry Stern, Canoga Park, used his time at the podium to provide some levity, auctioning off a coffee and brownies meet with Stern as the barista and Smith baking the brownies. Other elected officials attending JACQUI IRWIN the event included Councilmembers Carmen Ramírez (Oxnard), Ruth Luevanos (Simi Valley), Susan Santangelo (Camarillo), Matt LaVere (Ventura), Bill Weirick and Randy Haney (Ojai) and Oxnard High School Board Trustee Karen Sher.

CINCO Continued from Page 7 extension in order to repay loans. “Spain and England accepted the deal, France was looking into expanding at the time. France wanted to basically conquer Mexico,” said O’Leary. Six-thousand French troops took the coastal city of Veracruz before marching toward Mexico City. In their way stood Puebla City, where two hilltop forts overlooked the area. The French attacked, confident that the local peasants would support them. They did not. To make matters worse for the French, a monsoon drenched the army, soaking gunpowder and making climbing the hill toward the fort treacherous. “The French lost about 500 soldiers, Mexicans lost about 100 and the French retreated to the coast,” said O’Leary. The day of proclaimed victory by the Mexican Army was May 5, 1862. O’Leary said that in Mexico, the holiday isn’t as widely celebrated as it is in the United States, but in the city of Puebla reenactments and a parade are held in celebration and remembrance. Following their defeat, however, the French returned and in fact did occupy the country for four years. During that time, Mexican forces continued to fight against the French, said O’Leary. “In the United States, we say, ‘remember the Alamo!’ In Mexico, they said, ‘Remember the Cinco de Mayo,’ ” said O’Leary. “It became the rallying cry that they were able to beat the greatest forces at the time.” F O’Leary will discuss Cinco de Mayo and its rich history this Saturday, May 4, at the Port Hueneme Historical Society Museum, 220 Market St., in Port Hueneme.

Cultural exchange Celtic Woman to bring story, song and spectacle to TOCAP by Dave Gil de Rubio for Last Word Features

rish culture is in good hands whenever Celtic Woman takes the stage. It’s been that way ever since the allfemale musical ensemble was founded by David Kavanagh, Sharon Browne and David Downes in 2004. With Downes a former musical director of Riverdance, the onstage spectacle has always been a priority, but never at the expense of the music. In the time that the quartet (which was originally founded as a quintet) has been entertaining audiences around the world, millions of albums have been sold and they’ve become a staple of annual PBS fundraising drives. For 2019, the gaels have returned with Ancient Land, a new album that puts a contemporary spin on the centuries-old Irish tradition of telling stories through song, be they about love, dancing or of the land itself. For vocalist Máiréad (pronounced like parade) Carlin, the new album reflects the love the Derry-born vocalist and her bandmates feel for the Emerald Isle. “We really wanted to delve deep into the treasure trove of Irish music that’s out there. Also, a lot of our fans have been asking us for quite a while to release new music. With this record, I’d say that this is the most original music we’ve had on an album in quite a long time, certainly since

our Grammy-nominated album Destiny,” she explained. The current project found singers Carlin, Éabha McMahon and Megan Walsh and violinist Tara McNeill decamping to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios for a two-week recording stint. Living together, sharing meals and immersing themselves in Celtic and world music, the foursome emerged with a mix of originals (‘Follow Me,” “Be Still,” “Love & Honour”), Irish traditional songs (“Sive,” “Mná Na hÉireann [Women of Ireland],” “Moorlough Shore”) and reimagined reworkings of contemporary songs (Mary Fahl’s “Going Home” and The High Kings’ “Homeland”). One song that really resonated for Carlin was Elvis Costello’s “Long Journey Home.” “I’m certainly a massive Elvis Costello fan and he actually recorded that initially with an Irish group called Anùna, who are incredible. . . . There was that real connection with American and Irish history linked in there. So we really felt it would be appropriate to put it in the show,” she said. “It’s actually a very poignant moment in the show. And whenever I do sing that song, I almost feel like we’re looking back at our ancestors and have some kind of connection with them.” Carlin is proud of the intimate connection her group makes with the audience as well. “I would say that it’s certainly an epic stage production and it’s a very unique

experience. I don’t think there’s anything out there quite like it. It’s not just about the lights, set and dresses, which we of course have. We really put on such a massive show — it’s bag pipers, dancers, drummers,” she said. “We would always say that this particular show is very much a journey, and also paying homage to our heritage and our tradition.” Purists may turn their noses up at what Celtic Woman is doing in terms of putting a modern spin on the old, but Carlin and the rest of the group are proud of what they’ve created and the bond they have with their followers. “Celtic Woman is a nudge to the past and a big nudge to the future. We really relish our Irish history. We’re just four ordinary women bringing these Irish songs and contemporary songs to the world in a new way,” she said. “Audiences are just so important to us. We say they’re the fifth member of Celtic Woman and you feel their energy when you’re on the stage. How they are with us is just as important as how we are with them. It’s very much a collaboration. Some people don’t really think about it like that. I would always say that the audience might as well be on stage.” F Celtic Woman performs on Sunday, May 5, at 3 p.m. at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. For tickets and more information, call 805-449-2787 or visit www.civicartsplaza.com.

Houses with history Santa Paula’s Treasured Architecture at the Museum of Ventura County Agriculture Museum by Emily Dodi

“I hear it’s haunted.” Standing in front of a photograph of Santa Paula’s Glen Tavern Inn, Elena Waller, the manager of the Agriculture Museum, laughs in response. “Yes,” she says. “That’s one of the first things that people say when they see the Glen Tavern . . . but a lot of people don’t know that it was a Tokyo International College at one point. It has gone through many, many stages. In fact, Rin Tin Tin (the canine movie idol of the 1920s and 1930s) actually used to stay there quite a bit and I’ve also heard that John Wayne stayed there. . . . Our little Glen Tavern is pretty famous and it’s just down the street from us.” Today, it remains a popular hotel and restaurant. The photograph is just one of many on display in Santa Paula’s Treasured Architecture at the Ag Museum in Santa Paula, on exhibit through June 9. They serve as a strong focal point for this wonderfully multifaceted exhibit. Another photo shows the Ebell Clubhouse, which was the place in the early part of the 20th century to hobnob with Santa Paula’s high society. Now it’s home to the Santa Paula Theater Center. Then there is a photo of the

first house in the area to have electricity. At the time, it was billed as “Santa Paula’s Electrical House — with every possible provision for comfort, beauty and convenience.” Today, it’s lovingly referred to as the “Fairy House” because of its English Tudor revival style, which makes it look straight out of an old Walt Disney film. The photographs are the work of Santa Paula native Michael Moore. In 2000, after being recommended by his mentor, the photographer, writer, and local historian John Nichols, Moore was commissioned by the Santa Paula Historical Society to help “identify and aid in the preservation of 70 architecturally exceptional residences and commercial buildings” in the city. Over the course of a few months, Moore photographed all manners of buildings — from homes to businesses, from Tudors to Victorians — all around town. Moore took to the streets, armed with an excellent eye for detail and a very large camera. All the while, he had to adhere to a few strict stipulations set by the Historical Society, including that the photographs be large-format and black

and white. Moore began the project by doing his homework, namely scouting out the buildings in order to gauge how to best capture them on film. Depending on how sunlight hit them at different times of day, he says, some were “morning houses and others were better in the afternoon.” Photographing each building was its own unique experience. One that stands out is the time he photographed the Limoneira buildings. “I was out there alone,” he recalls, and then the ground started rumbling. “It was an earthquake. All the buildings were swaying back and forth. There was a lot of shaking.” Sometimes, Moore had to improvise. “A couple of times I borrowed my parents’ truck for a higher viewpoint,” he says. The project turned out to be a wonderful experience. “It was super fun,” Moore says. “It was so dynamic and simple.” Especially, he notes, compared to his work today as a CGI artist and documentary filmmaker (www.PlanetMoore.com). At its heart, the exhibit celebrates the history of Santa Paula. Each photograph is accompanied by a bit of backstory, provided by historians Judith Triem and Mitch Stone. For instance, the “venerable Cauch’s Drugstore” opened in 1888 on Main Street, then moved down the street in 1927 to occupy the former Safeway Market. The Glen Tavern Inn was

built to accommodate well-healed visitors to “the oil and citrus hub of the county.” Additional history is offered via a fun video segment about the “Fairy House,” taken from a vintage TV show. In it, John and Leslie Nichols share how they uncovered some of the historic house’s idiosyncrasies. For one, its extra-sturdy walls are made from the same material used for swimming pools. The exhibit also features a writing wall, where guests can share their memories of a particular building. During one visit, people shared their fond memories of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church on North Oak Street. There is also an interactive station that challenges guests to build various architectural structures with blocks. (It’s not as easy as it looks.) The experience doesn’t end at the gallery. In a way, the exhibit is just the beginning. The museum offers a free walking tour guide for visitors to see the actual buildings. (The museum asks visitors not to disturb the occupants of the private residences.) A few are mere steps away from the museum’s doors. “Standing at the Ag Museum you can look to the left and see the Glen Tavern,” Waller points out. “To the right you will see a house that was used as a boarding house for the railroad.” Out the back of the museum, past the garden, one can see the First Christian Church. On May 5, as part of the Ag Museum’s Free First Sunday, John Nichols will discuss the fascinating stories behind Santa Paula’s historic architecture. Nichols, who authored the book Santa Paula Through Time, states that “Santa Paula has more historic architecture than any town in Ventura County.” Also on the calendar is the Ag Museum’s summer concert series. On May 3, the series opens with Brothers Fortune performing its popular blend of alternative rock-Americana. (Admission is $5 for museum members, $10 for non-members.) Santa Paula’s Treasured Architecture celebrates the rich history of Santa Paula and offers a memorable way to enjoy the here and now. “Some people say we’re a sleepy farm town,” says Waller. “I don’t think we’re a sleepy farm town. I think we’re pretty exciting.” F Santa Paula’s Treasured Architecture through June 9 at the Agriculture Museum, 926 Railroad Avenue, Santa Paula.

CHAREAU:

Aloe vera liqueur from Camarillo by Michael Cervin

Indulging in rich flavors in Santa Paula by Michael Sullivan michael@vcreporter.com

Tlaquepaque Restaurant 120 S. Mill St., Santa Paula 805-933-5535 $1.75-15.99

hen on the hunt for good Mexican food in Santa Paula, the choices seem endless. Relying on Yelp for the highest rated reviews is an interesting tactic, but I do miss word-of-mouth recommendations. It was, however, a picture of the chile relleno served in a stew of sorts that led me to Tlaquepaque. While I didn’t recognize the name or even the address at first, upon entering, I realized that I had visited many years ago — to talk to a father of a young woman who was at Todd Road Jail. The conversation was emotional so the draw was practically irresistible as I tried to conjure the details of what we talked about in the center booth back then. As the house was practically full, my companion and I decided to get ours to go, — we were among several others who did the same one Saturday night. Stephanie, who was busy both taking orders on the floor and at the cash register, didn’t appear overwhelmed, but was friendly and courteous. She said she had worked there for the last four years, so she might indeed be a friendly face from the last time I visited. Obviously, my priority was to order the chile relleno, a side order, but I also chose the mole poblano and a sope with carne asada. My companion ordered No. 26: two enchiladas (cheese and chicken) in red sauce and the chile relleno. He also ordered a side of carne asada street tacos. As I waited for our food, a bright pink sign for flan with drawings that looked like question marks piqued

my curiosity — one flan to go. During the dinner rush, it probably took about 20 minutes to get our order. First up, the sope, which truly is enough to be a hearty meal in itself, with fried Mexican bread covered with creamy homemade refried beans, tender asada, crisp shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and topped with queso fresco and crema, sprinkled and drizzled. A perfect way to start a meal. The mole poblano was rich in flavor and color, a deep brown, buttery sauce that had hint of smokiness and chocolate. The chicken was so tender it fell off the bone, not dry at all, and sprinkled in were sesame seeds. It came with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice with peas. While the meal was generally good, the grease was too much; it seemed to float on top and around the mole. I can usually work around such things, but not this time. The carne asada street tacos and enchiladas were gobbled up faster than I could get a bite, so I can only assume that they were that good. But the pièce de résistance: the chile relleno. Well, I loved the sauce/broth, to clarify that up front. The stewed onions and green and red peppers in the warm tomato-y broth were comforting. The chile relleno, however, was interesting, with the fried crust saturated in the broth but the cheese a bit dense versus stringy. The poblano chile was bright green, low on the spicy scale, as is the norm. Not sure I would order it again, but the broth was surely worth a try. As for the flan, the sweet crust of the dense, slightly crumbly custard made my mouth pucker a bit. If you are looking for rich dessert, this is one way to go. Stephanie did give me a slice from a large pan that may have been cooked a day or two before. Reminiscing about years before, the feel of Tlaquepaque is one of a home and dedication to preparation. While not every meal is for everyone, surely there is something for anyone — it’s worth a drop-by. ♦

Tlaquepaque offers not only a warm atmosphere, but friendly staff and a place for regulars to relax and enjoy good food and company.

rowing up in Southern California, aloe vera was ubiquitous, something meant to soothe sunburns and heal wounds. None of us thought of drinking it. Kurt Charron never thought of drinking it either . . . initially. Charron started working in restaurants at age 16, eventually ending up as a bartender in Los Angeles. Food was nothing new for him, his family having a dairy operation in Canada. But Charron felt the urge to learn distilling. He was having a cocktail in New York that had aloe juice in it, and this prompted his curiosity. So he spent two years learning to distill in his kitchen prior to launching Chareau. So what, exactly, is it? Chareau is a blend of cucumber, spearmint, lemon peel, grapes and aloe. “It’s all real stuff from local farms,” Charron says. “Each ingredient comes from Ventura or Santa Barbara county, with the exception of the aloe vera, which comes from San Diego.” Charron distills ingredients based on the season, so grapes come in roughly in September, cucumbers in March or April; the aloe vera is distilled year round. Each ingredient is distilled separately from the others, then blended together. It might seem like the world doesn’t need

yet another distilled spirit, no matter how quirky. Chareau, however, is already producing 10,000 cases with placements in about 4,000 bars and restaurants across the U.S., including Slate, Basil and Mint (both in Camarillo) and the Eureka Burger chain. But why Camarillo? Charron was planning his distillery in Los Angeles but it was a two- to three-year process. The city of Camarillo, conversely, approved everything in 30 days. “Camarillo was calling, the weather was perfect, there’s better water and air quality here and the city was great to work with,” he says, happily ensconced in his present location for the last four years. On the nose there is definitely a strong sense of aloe with its subtle cactus-type flavors. The spicy mint and citrus notes fill out the back palate. More specifically, the mint makes Chareau not only refreshing on its own, but a very good mixer. Charron says that it’s often used in place of tequila, so a Tom Collins cocktail, for example, would get the Chareau riff. In addition to Chareau, Charron’s Icarus Brandy, made with California pinot noir grapes, was released in April. Certainly there will be more to come. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Twisted Sisterhood

I’

m a grown woman in the middle of a feud between two of my female friends. They’re both complaining to me, and I’m just responding “uh-huh” to give them the hint that I don’t want to be involved. Neither’s catching on. How do I get out of the middle of this spat without either friend feeling like I’m being disloyal and without my blurting out, “This is ridiculous. Grow up, ladies!” — Irritated If only these two would do as a 60-year-old dude in the U.K. just did to dispute a ticket he got on his

by amy alkon motorcycle — invoked what The Telegraph called “the ancient right to trial by combat.” Not surprisingly, local magistrates decided to stick him with a fine instead of accepting his proposal of a duel “to the death” with a motor vehicles clerk, using “samurai swords, Gurkha knives or heavy hammers.” Unfortunately, your female friends are unlikely to break out the Hello Kitty nunchucks to resolve their little squabble once and for all. It turns out there are some differences in how men and women generally deal with disagreements. Psychologist Joyce Benenson explains that women — as the childbearers and primary childcarers of the species — evolved to handle disputes in ways that minimize their risk of being physically harmed through retaliation. This has led to a female tendency toward covert aggression — sneaky attacks that are often hard to identify as attacks, like sabotaging other women’s status through gossip and social exclusion. Men, in contrast, tend to favor more straight-up forms of dispute resolution, from put-down fests to bar fights (with or without medieval weapons). The thing is, an evolved tendency for a certain behavior (like indirect-

ness) isn’t a mandate that you behave accordingly. You can instead choose to be direct: Inform these two that you refuse to be the prize in this battle of theirs and thus refuse to hear another word about it from either of them. When they forget (aka see whether they can sneak in a rant to you about what a #$%& the other is), be straightforward in reminding them of your retirement as a giant ear. Being direct is sure to be uncomfortable the first few times, but as

out “I wanna have sex with you!” to a man and have him take her up on that. However, he claims that a guy who says this to a woman is taking a big risk and is likely to just offend her and possibly get a drink thrown in his face. Is he right? —Confused Dude A guy’s “I wanna have sex with you!” does work on women — uh … in movies where the entire plotline is “A nurse gets in the elevator.” To be unappealingly frank, men, in a sexual pinch, have been known to get it on with items in their refrigerator. So, especially in guys’ late teens and 20s, the bar for casual sex partners isn’t set all that high — as in, “Wow, girl, that’s some pulse you have on you!” Women, on the other hand, evolved to be the choosier sex. Female emotions push them to hold out for signs that a man would be willing and able to stick around and commit resources, should a screaming baby result from their naked romp in the back seat of the, um, thing prehistoric people dragged firewood around on. These sex differences were reflected in recent research led by evolutionary psychologist Mons Bendixen on men’s and women’s sig-

Unfortunately, your female friends are unlikely to break out the Hello Kitty nunchucks to resolve their little squabble once and for all. you increasingly make it a habit, you should find it far easier and certainly more effective than coming up with creative excuses every time the phone rings: “Sorry! Still haven’t found my gavel. Talk soon!”

Coy Story A male friend says that a woman who wants a hookup can just blurt

naling of sexual interest. Women tended to make themselves out to be more sexually interested in a particular man than they actually were. The researchers suspect this may be a strategy that allows women to hold men’s attention for longer. This, in turn, gives a woman more time to assess a man or “strategically increase his hope of having a chance” with her (translation: keep the dude on the hook while milking his American Express card like it has a set of udders). In contrast, the researchers found that men generally pretended to be far less interested in sex than they actually were — presumably to avoid coming off as a man tramp or the sexual version of a starving Dickensian orphan. In other words, your friend is probably right: Honesty, as a sexseeking tactic for a man, is only “the best policy” if the photo of his perfect match on a dating site is a tall container of lotion wearing an old tube sock as a scarf. ♦ (c)2019, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

“How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies,” wrote Henry David Thoreau. “How slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Your first assignment in the coming days, Aries, is to devote yourself to quenching the hunger and thirst of your soul with the same relentless passion that you normally spend on giving your body the food and drink it craves. This could be challenging. You may be less knowledgeable about what your soul thrives on than what your body loves. So your second assignment is to do extensive research to determine what your soul needs to thrive.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

I invite you to explore the frontiers of what’s possible for you to experience and accomplish. One exercise that might help: visualize specific future adventures that excite you. Examples? Picture yourself parasailing over the Mediterranean Sea near Barcelona, or working to help endangered sea turtles in Costa Rica, or giving a speech to a crowded auditorium on a subject you will someday be an expert in. The more specific your fantasies, the better. Your homework is to generate at least five of these visions.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“We must choose between the pain of having to transcend oppressive circumstances, or the pain of perpetual unfulfillment within those oppressive circumstances,” writes mental health strategist Paul John Moscatello. We must opt for “the pain of growth or the pain of decay,” he continues. We must either “embrace the tribulations of realizing our potential, or consent to the slow suicide in complacency.” That’s a bit melodramatic, in my opinion. Most of us do both; we may be successful for a while in transcending oppressive circumstances, but then temporarily lapse back into the pain of unfulfillment.

28 —

— May 2, 2019

by rob brezsny

However, there are times when it makes sense to think melodramatically. And I believe now is one of those times for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will set in motion plans to transcend at least 30 percent of your oppressive circumstances.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

You Cancerians can benefit from always having a fertility symbol somewhere in your environment: an icon or image that reminds you to continually refresh your relationship with your own abundant creativity; an inspiring talisman or toy that keeps you alert to the key role your fecund imagination can and should play in nourishing your quest to live a meaningful life; a provocative work of art that spurs you to always ask for more help and guidance from the primal source code that drives you to reinvent yourself. So if you don’t have such a fertility symbol, I invite you to get one. If you do, enhance it with a new accessory.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

In my horoscopes, I often speak to you about your personal struggle for liberation and your efforts to express your soul’s code with ever-more ingenuity and completeness. It’s less common that I address your sacred obligation to give back to life for all that life has given to you. I only infrequently discuss how you might engage in activities to help your community or work for the benefit of those less fortunate than you. But now is one of those times when I feel moved to speak of these matters. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial to perform specific work in behalf of a greater good. Why crucial? Because your personal well-being in the immediate future depends in part on your efforts to intensify your practical compassion.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

“We are whiplashed between an arrogant overestimation of ourselves and a servile underestimation of ourselves,” writes educator Parker Palmer. That’s the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that you are in prime position to escape from the whiplash. Cosmic forces are conspiring with your eternal soul to coalesce a well-balanced vision of your true value that’s free of both vain misapprehensions and selfdeprecating delusions. Congrats! You’re empowered to understand yourself with a tender objectivity that could at least partially heal lingering wounds. See yourself truly!

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The country of Poland awards medals to couples that have stayed married for 50 years. It also gives out medals to members of the armed forces who have served for at least thirty years. But the marriage medal is of higher rank, and is more prestigious. In that spirit, I’d love for you to get a shiny badge or prize to acknowledge your devoted commitment to a sacred task — whether that commitment is to an intimate alliance, a noble quest, or a promise to yourself. It’s time to reward yourself for how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve given.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath wrote, “I admit I desire, / Occasionally, some backtalk / From the mute sky.” You’ll be wise to borrow the spirit of that mischievous declaration. Now is a good time to solicit input from the sky, as well as from your allies and friends and favorite animals, and from every other source that might provide you with interesting feedback. I invite you to regard the whole world as your mirror, your counselor, your informant.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

In January 1493, the notorious pirate and kidnapper Christopher Columbus was sailing his ship near the land we now call the Dominican Republic. He spotted three creatures he assumed were mermaids. Later he wrote in his log that they were “not half as beautiful as they are painted [by artists].” We know now that the “mermaids” were actually manatees, aquatic mammals with flippers and paddle-shaped tails. They are in fact quite beautiful in their own way, and would only be judged as homely by a person comparing them to mythical enchantresses. I trust you won’t make a similar mistake, Sagittarius. Evaluate everything and everyone on their own merits, without comparing them to something they’re not.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

“I want what we all want,” writes novelist Jonathan Lethem. “To move certain parts of the interior of myself into the exterior world, to see if they can be embraced.” Even if you haven’t passionately wanted that lately, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon. That’s a good thing, because life will be conspiring with you to accomplish it. Your ability to express yourself in ways that are meaningful to you and interesting to other people will be at a peak.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Using algorithms to analyze 300 million facts, a British scientist concluded that April 11, 1954 was the most boring day in history. A Turkish man who would later become a noteworthy engineer was born that day, and Belgium staged a national election. But that’s all. With this non-eventful day as your inspiration, I encourage you to have fun reminiscing about the most boring times in your own past. I think you need a prolonged respite from the stimulating frenzy of your daily rhythm. It’s time to rest and relax in the sweet luxury of nothingness and emptiness.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

The Blue Room is a famous Picasso painting from 1901. Saturated with blue hues, it depicts a naked woman taking a bath. More than a century after its creation, scientists used X-rays to discover that there was an earlier painting beneath The Blue Room and obscured by it. It shows a man leaning his head against his right hand. Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield says that there are some people who are “like a painting hidden beneath another painting.” More of you Pisceans fit that description than any other sign of the zodiac. You may even be like a painting beneath a painting beneath a painting — to a depth of five or more paintings. Is that a problem? Not necessarily. But it is important to be fully aware of the existence of all the layers. Now is a good time to have a check-in.

daverandall2@gmail.com Avengers: Endgame Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Brie Larson, Scarlett Johansson, Karen Gillan Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and some language 3 hrs. 1 min.

hen last we left the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos the horrific (Josh Brolin), he of the diner-booth tuck-and-roll chin, had thrust the final Infinity Stone into his mitt. Fifty percent of the universe’s population, along with many of its foremost superheroes, then vaporized, en masse, into a flaky, black substance and floated away. I have to resist the urge to stop right there, so as not to reveal anything that would spoil the movie for those who didn’t see Avengers: Endgame in its first record-breaking weekend. There are enough impressions to give, however, without telling all. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) ,Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Rocket Racoon et al are left in the wake of what Thanos has wrought with the powerful Infinity Gauntlet. They’re introduced to Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), who is furious over the fate of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) — he, too, reduced to an onyx mist. To attempt a reversal of this terrible deed, some time travel is necessary, and a few Avengers battles of the past have to be revisited to alter the present. Writers Christopher Markus and Steven McFeely have a ball with the mammoth script, supplying the trademark Marvel wit that augments the super-exploits (and makes the films so watchable to non-comic book

Add that to the epic storytelling over three well-paced hours, and those witty characters who make you care, and the result is a license to print money — which is exactly what the movie has done. There are lessons in Woman Power here, and allegories that reinforce and illuminate the truism that sometimes the best results do not come without a price. I don’t believe most people are ready to be so profoundly moved by a Marvel film. In saving the world, there arise the heart-tugging realities of love, and the inevitability of loss. And one thinks back to Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and others who originally brought most of these characters to life in the pulpy pages of Marvel Comics. For a dime (later, 15 cents) you could let your imagination run free, and allow yourself to laugh, captivated by the talents of these writers and artists. Lee’s posthumous cameo in Avengers: Endgame reminds us how it all started, and what a treasure the MCU has now become for the world. It just keeps getting better. ♦ May 2, 2019 — — 29
