OPINION Editorial

Just say no to glyphosate W

hen it comes to chemicals that cause practically instant harm or death, it should come as no surprise that there are repercussions for all life and not just that targeted.

We have all agreed as a society that herbicide Agent Orange, which was used to break down foliage in the forests of Vietnam, was extremely harmful. The health repercussions have been so bad for those exposed to it that the U.S. military has veteran programs dedicated solely to helping cover medical and related costs and even offers job training and other compensation for not only those directly impacted but for their offspring, too. In the heat of war, it seems as though common sense was passed over for expedience.

Around the same time that Agent Orange was being used so was the pesticide DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane).

While DDT was first used by the military in WWII to control malaria, typhus, body lice and the bubonic plague, killing the insects that helped spread disease, it was then applied to agricultural fields, the food we eat. Due to the impacts on wildlife — specifically, birds of prey that were eating rodents exposed to DDT and then produced eggs with shells too thin for viable offspring — the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned its use in 1972 in the United States.

It was also banned due to potential human health risks. DDT has since been linked to low birth weights, premature births and breast cancer in humans.

The most recent culprit under scrutiny is the widely used herbicide Roundup.

Although the U.S. EPA just announced Roundup, or rather the active ingredient glyphosate, is safe for humans, there has been enough negative news about the pesticide’s impact on human health, including lymphoma, that people are finally speaking out against it. Glyphosate has been in use since 1974. In August 2018, a federal jury awarded a San Francisco man $80 million due to his cancer diagnosis and his exposure to glyphosate and in February, a University of Washington study found

hen I became involved in the city issues in November of 2015 the No. 1 complaint I heard from people was the lack of communication and transparency from the City Council and very slow city staff replies. At that time I started attending City Council meetings and it was apparent what the people said was true. Six to t 10 residents at each meeting would speak in “open forum” about issues that they had contacted the city about and had not heard back from anyone.

The most serious one was by the Mar Vista senior citizens housing run by the city. They said the city had agreed to fix up many things that were falling apart at the five story building and at an a later “open forum” said it had been 4— — May 9, 2019

glyphosate increases the risk of cancer by 41 percent.

Oak Park Superintendent Anthony Knight has been way out ahead of this game, at least when it comes to the school district, in removing Roundup’s use in weed abatement for the last 15 years. He said that it’s a matter of literally picking the weeds instead of chemically killing them. He also said that the district uses only organic fertilizer. He is passionate about keeping students from being exposed to perceivably dangerous synthetic chemicals. As of late, he is now among several individuals locally who are speaking out against further use of Roundup in school districts and on public property.

With the recent release of a 1,500-page environmental report, a United Nations collaboration of 132 nations including the U.S., assessing biodiversity around the globe and the impacts of human endeavors, prioritizing profit over nature is clearly having a detrimental ripple effect on all living beings.

From overarching climate change to the extinction of various species due to habitat destruction and many more disturbing issues, it’s clear that humans’ haphazard ways are having enduring consequences.

But in the end, if we don’t put the well-being of our planet and nature at the top of the priority list, then we will all suffer.

Though residents in Ventura County can’t necessarily do much to change course for the entire world, we can scale back the use of harmful chemicals, including Roundup. We can seek to better understand the natural progress of plant and rodent life and implement new, less dangerous paths to keep the human race safe and fed with healthy gardens to boot. Humanity has evolved to survive thus far, from caveman days of knuckle dragging to living purely through internet connectivity. Surely we can collectively figure out how to balance nature and man and keep health hazards at bay. But for what we can control, let’s focus resources to stop the use of glyphosate.

nine months and the city had done anything or got in touch with them. I had a similar situation when I contacted three departments about issues at my HOA that needed attention.

After a month I had received no response from the departments.

This led me to thinking a Citizens Advisory Committee would be very helpful for improving the communication between the City Council and residents of Port Hueneme (PH). With the help of Laura Hernandez, now a City Councilmember, we found information of hundreds of cities in the U.S. had similar commissions.

Laura also gathered info that showed what kind of commissions were being used by various size cities and what type of governing body they had. PH for example was a small city run by the City Council rather than a mayor. We put together an organizational plan for the city to use and presented it to the council and city man-

ager. Tom Figg, who had just become mayor in December 2017, included the plan in his Strategic Action Plan for the city that was approved by the City Council. Due to numerous other important issues, starting a two-year budget, starting the cannabis business and changing assistant city managers the formation of the CAC has been delayed. I believe it is schedule to begin formation at the May 6 City Council meeting.

The Hueneme Pier renaming issue is exactly what the CAC is planned to do, let the residents have a voice in what happens and what changes are made. Previously, there had been closed meetings that should have been public among other means of not communication to the people the council members took an oath to serve and protect. The CAC will be made up of board members overseeing various committees (a few examples: recreation, education, seniors, traffic, neighborhoods, HOAs and others as needed) and residents of PH will be on the board and committees. The CAC will present ideas, suggestions-questions to the City Council and the City Council may ask for the residents for their input on various issues they are working on. Since the city ok’d the CAC they must address the issues presented to them and will expect the residents to respond to their request for information or opinions. The Hueneme Pier renaming issue is exactly how the CAC would work and the residents opinions would be included in the decision-making process.

There is also going to be an Oversight Committee that will oversee how the tax money from Measure U is being spent by the city. Both the CAC and the Measure U Oversight Committee will need residents to step forward and volunteer to help make things open and transparent and do the right thing for the city and residents.

Info will follow soon, if you don’t participate the city government could return to a closed and nontransparent political operation. Don’t let your stepping up to voice your opinion on the Hueneme Pier renaming go for naught. Be ready to volunteer and serve, the city needs your help to improve the quality of life for all of us.

news In Brief COLAB CHALLENGES WILDLIFE CORRIDOR WITH LAWSUIT

Our wild neighbors National Park Service expert discusses coexisting with coyotes in Ventura

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

T

he human population of Ventura County coexists with wildlife living in what makes up most of the land within our borders, the Los Padres and the Santa Monica Mountains. Most of the time, creatures living in these wildlands are content with keeping to themselves, but that isn’t always the case, especially in areas where urban living bumps up against an undeveloped environment.

On Tuesday, May 14, the Ventura Sierra Club will host Justin Brown, ecologist, from the National Park Service who will discuss one creature in particular, the coyote, in an effort to educate its neighbors on what they eat, how they travel, where they live and how to respond when encountering one in the wild or, as has become increasingly more common, in your own backyard.

“They live pretty much everywhere here, there’s not really a place where coyotes never go through,” said Brown. Brown says that even in downtown Los Angeles, where green spaces are few and far between, coyotes are present. “They’re able to use everything from urban settings to some of the most rural.”

Brown says that coyotes need very little so-called green space to survive, and even thrive, in urban areas, pointing toward the availability of human-sourced food for coyotes and other creatures they eat. Studying the scat remains left by coyotes and performing what is called a stable isotope analysis reveals urban-dwelling coyotes subsisting off of corn-heavy diets, the typical diet of a human.

While coyotes are mostly happy to reside in the wildlands of the county, events such as the Thomas, Woolsey and Hill fires may have contributed to their dispersal into urban areas, at least temporarily. Brown says that coyotes seem to do well in post-fire areas.

“Truthfully, they kind of like those more open habitats, so in some way it may benefit them; once it gets too choked out they don’t visit too much,” said Brown.

California State University, Channel Islands, Professor Sean Anderson has been tracking and collecting data on Ventura County wildlife over the past 15 years and says that the fires, while killing many small creatures such as rabbits, squirrels and mice, did not kill as

many larger creatures such as deer and coyotes due to their ability to run away, and animals that did survive transitioned to areas closer to human habitat.

“The reality is that the greatest concentration of these critters is often times right at the interface, where we have suburban meets larger, expansive open spaces, areas along foothills, surrounding Ojai, that kind of thing,” said Anderson. “What seems to have happened with these fires is that concentration of wildlife on the edge of our developed areas just spiked.”

Interactions with coyotes are not rare. In December 2018, a Ventura resident filmed a coyote carrying a black cat at Telegraph Road and Victoria Avenue. The Ventura County Animal Services has warned residents in the area of Victoria Avenue in recent years to keep pets indoors following reports of coyotes in the area.

Attacks on humans, though rare, have happened. In 2004, a 3-year-old was mauled by a coyote in Simi Valley as it tried to drag the boy off of his front porch.

Anderson, chair of CSUCI’s Environmental Science and Resource Management, says that while the fires were devastating, the recent rains have helped in recovery and the animal populations are returning to life pre-fire, especially in the case of the Thomas Fire, which happened in 2017, rather than for the Woolsey and Hill fires, which occurred at the end of 2018.

“As the vegetation has recovered, generally speaking, that concentration of coyotes right in people’s backyards type stuff has slackened a little bit,” said Anderson. “In the case of the Thomas Fire, they’re a bit farther away from the wildland urban interface; Woolsey fire, they’re still very much close to the suburban edge.”

When humans come into contact with coyotes, Brown says that there are a few things that can be done to dissuade them from returning.

“One of the big issues is that animals become habituated to us. I can’t say that enough, please don’t feed them,” said Brown. In the event that a human comes face-to-face with a coyote, whether in their backyard or on a hiking trail, Brown says to shout and act aggressive so that they’ll run off.

Brown says that in a recently completed large-scale diet project, results showed that in some coyotes, up to

The Ventura County Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business, also known as CoLAB, has filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court seeking to end creation of the recently adopted 163,000-acre wildlife corridor.

In a statement, CoLAB says that the Board of Supervisors, which adopted the wildlife corridor by a 3-2 vote, “passed unreasonable and unlawful restrictions, increasing costs and devaluing land of affected Ventura County taxpayers and landowners.”

“It was a step too far,” said CoLAB VC Executive Director Lynn Jensen. “We offered solutions that were rejected in a political atmosphere that sounded good for wildlife, but truly wasn’t. Hence we must seek recourse in the courts.”

CoLAB says that the corridor will increase fire hazards and that not studying the impact the corridor would have on fire prevention is a “tragic oversight.”

Environmental groups have spoken out against the lawsuit, saying that it threatens to undermine “two years of hard work amongst landowners, scientists, wildlife advocates and county planners, and ultimately places the fate of our region’s wildlife in grave danger.”

“County residents strongly support the ordinance because it contains science-based measures to give mountain lions and other local wildlife a fighting chance as development pressure and climate change intensify,” said J.P. Rose, staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “This lawsuit is out of step with the will of the people and we are confident it will be rejected by the courts.”

LOCAL MOUNTAIN LION SUCCUMBS TO POISONING IN SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS

One of the famed mountain lions collared for research and tracking purposes in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area has been found dead from what is believed to be consumption of rat poison.

The National Park Service, which manages the area, said that on March 21, the three-year-old mountain lion, referred to as P-47, broadcast a so-called “mortality signal” from its collar. Rangers discovered the lion’s body and confirmed its death, believed to have been caused by the anticoagulant rodenticide used by farmers and homeowners to control pest populations. The NPS says that P-47 is believed to have ingested up to six different rodenticides.

In 2017, another mountain lion died of suspected rodenticide

poisoning and mange, a suspected side-effect of rodenticide ingestion, has been documented in the mountain lion and bobcat populations in the area.

BIKE TO WORK WEEK RETURNS COUNTYWIDE

Beginning May 13, the Ventura County Transportation Commission is urging residents to ditch the keys and hop on a bike for the week in an effort to promote green living.

VENTURA COUNTY ADOPTS ROOSTER ORDINANCE

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors has adopted a new ordinance addressing nuisances and overcrowding in residential areas.

The Rooster Keeping Ordinance is intended to curtail overcrowding and issues arising from noise and odors, says Ventura County Animal Services. The ordinance is also meant to address cockfighting in the county, which is a crime.

The ordinance limits the number of roosters to four on any parcel in the county, with fanciers able to apply to keep more.

The ordinance applies to individuals living in the unincorporated areas of the county, with individual cities each holding their own restrictions on owning a rooster.

To read the ordinance and for more information, visit www.vcas.us/ roosterkeeping.

Growing like weeds

by Kit Stolz

L

ast Wednesday the Board of Trustees of the Oxnard School District voted unanimously to ban all products containing glyphosate, the controversial active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, from purchase or use on school grounds.

“A concerned parent reached out to us at the end of the last school year when she came across a posting from the school that they had applied glyphosate [on school grounds],” said Adam Vega, a community organizer for the Ventura County Coalition Advocating for Pesticide Safety (VC-CAPS). “We’ve been working with the Oxnard School District since then to get them off glyphosate.”

John Cooper, the senior manager of maintenance and operations for the Oxnard School District, said in the public meeting that his department on its own had started to reduce the use of Roundup last year and already has stopped using the chemical on school grounds.

He thanked Vega and his group for their initiative.

Last August, a Bay Area jury awarded a school groundskeeper, DeWayne Anthony “Lee” Johnson, who often worked with Roundup, $289 million after evidence was presented in court that he developed a terminal cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, when he was drenched on the job with Roundup in an accident at work. That award was reduced in November to $78 million, but this March, in a federal trial, a homeowner who used Roundup, Edwin Hardeman, was awarded $80 million, after he, too, sued Monsanto, arguing that his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer was caused

by the spraying of Roundup on his property in San Francisco.

The legal losses, although under appeal, nonetheless set off a cavalcade of consequences for Roundup, its maker, Monsanto, and the German company Bayer AG, which bought out Monsanto in a multibillion transaction in June 2018. Bayer acquired Monsanto despite knowing the company was facing over 11,000 lawsuits in the U.S. for damages linked to the use of glyphosate. Bayer stock has fallen more than 30 percent since the acquisition of Monsanto last year, and is under sharp criticism for the move from business and stock analysts.

According to Linda Parks, who represents the Thousand Oaks area on the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, more than 50 U.S. cities and counties in recent years have banned the use of Roundup for maintenance on local government properties, including the counties of Alameda, Marin and Los Angeles.

On April 23, in a meeting celebrating Earth Day, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously for a resolution by Parks asking county land agencies to document their use of glyphosate, explore potential alternatives, identify best practices and report back to the board in 90 days in July.

Parks said that she was supported by residents and officials in her district including Tony Knight, superintendent of the Oak Park Unified School District. In a letter to the board, Knight said that although his district banned the use of glyphosate on school property 15 years ago, his school district nonetheless now supports a larger county-wide ban on all public properties.

“We have significant concerns for the

Foster Library in Downtown Ventura. safety and well-being of our children because [glyphosate] is still being used by County maintenance personnel in the watershed areas in Oak Park where our children recreate, and it is also being used in the medians and landscaped areas in Oak Park,” wrote Knight.

“This [resolution] is specific to our county facilities,” said Parks, in discussion at the meeting. “We have already reduced the use of this herbicide, and suspended its use in some public areas, but there is more we can do.”

Roundup is one of the most widely used of all weed killers at both residences and on farms nationwide, despite being a chemical declared “probably carcinogenic to humans” by an international working group of medical experts affiliated with the World Health Organization in 2015.

The working group, called the International Agency for Research on Cancer, found “strong evidence” based on a study of over 1,000 papers that glyphosate causes cancer. The research included studies that looked at what happened to workers exposed to the chemical on the job and experimental studies on animals exposed to the chemical in the lab.

The manufacturers of the herbicide continue to defend glyphosate, arguing that hundreds of scientific studies conducted since the introduction of Roundup in the 1970s have found glyphosate safe if used properly, including organizations such as the US Environmental Protection Agency, Health Canada and the F European Food Safety Organization.

Still much work to do

Hurtado set some time aside to answer a few questions about her background and the current state of affairs for women, especially women of color.

Tell us about your childhood, where you grew up and what drew you to pursue women’s issues.

tion at the highest levels — from academia to the corporate world — women are still a rarity at the highest levels of decision making.

I grew up in a family of strong women who sustained their families and worked hard to have their children succeed. My mother, grandmothers and aunts are no different than many working class women of color whose hard work catapult the next generation to greater success than what they experienced in life.

What are your feelings on the #MeToo movement on what it did and did not do to address sexual assault and harassment?

What are the most frustrating issues for women, especially women of color?

Women’s issues are trivialized and not given the proper attention given women’s participation in the labor force and their educational success.

When the Women’s March stated that the “future was female” they meant the country’s well-being is in women’s hands. However, issues of equal pay for equal work, childcare issues and sexual violence are not at the forefront of the national agenda.

How can equity issues be more easily resolved than the path we are on now?

Why are women still facing these issues?

Integration of women at all levels of leadership in all institutions is necessary for women’s issues to be address. If you examine any institu-

The #MeToo movement was long time coming. The behavior of men in the workplace and at home has existed forever but women did not feel they could speak up. Once the gate was open the stories came pouring out. The time was right and some important actions and consequences took place. All social movements experience moments of advancement then lulls. For almost a year very powerful men were held accountable for their past behavior and some even suffered consequences. Now there is somewhat of a lull but another burst of change will certainly come. We are patient, we will wait.

F The luncheon will be held 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Friday, May 10, at California Lutheran University’s Gilbert Sports & Fitness Center, 60 W. Olsen Road, Thousand Oaks. All proceeds will benefit United Way programs. Luncheon tickets, $125 each, are available online at vcunitedway.org.

70 percent of their diet was humanbased — whether that be from garbage, ornamental fruit-bearing trees or even cats and other small pets.

For those in attendance at Brown’s speech, he hopes they leave with a better understanding of our furry neighbors.

“I’m hoping people take away steps they can take, if there’s problems in their neighborhood, to reduce conflict, and to take away a broader understanding of how coyotes are using our environment as well as the natural environment,” said Brown.

F Justin Brown presents “Understanding Southern California Coyotes” on Tuesday, May 14, at 5:30 p.m. at the EP Foster Library Topping Room, 651 E. Main St., Ventura. For more information, contact SierraClubVentura@ gmail.com.

RARE BREED Five generations of boxers of Simi Valley with a murder for hire plot twist

T

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

imothy Ortiz was 6 years old when he faced an opponent in the ring during his first amateur fight. But long before his first match as a child, boxing was in his blood.

“It wasn’t like I was taken to a gym — I was born into a gym,” said Timothy, now 20, of Simi Valley, who goes by the ring name Kid Hollywood.

“Boxing is a lot more for me than it is for another fighter.

That’s what I feel like I have over a lot of other fighters.

They were taken to a gym when I was pretty much in here from the start.”

As one of five generations of boxers, Timothy is among a rare breed of fighters, including his great-great grandfather, Alfonso Ortiz, his great-grandfather, Mike “Top Dog” Ortiz, his grandfather, Robert Ortiz Sr., and his dad, Robert “Scrappy” Ortiz Jr. In the United States, the Ortiz family joins a small handful of other families with multi-generations of boxers, including the Ali family, the Frazier family and the Mayweather family.

In other rare occurrences, most recently, Timothy and his dad, Robert Jr., boxed on cards one week apart during Hollywood Fight Nights at Avalon Hollywood. Timothy’s four-round pro debut on March 24 earned him a TKO in round three against Anthony Torres, and his father’s comeback fight after several years on March 31 against Misael Chacon was a draw.

For father and son, these bouts meant more than the thrill of competition in the roped-off square. They both believed they were being watched over by the late Mike Ortiz, Robert Jr.’s grandfather, who passed away in Las Vegas in October last year. Prior to his death, from his hospital bed, Mike Ortiz gave his grandsons the following words of encouragement: “Keep on working, keep on training, keep that jab going, bob and weave, and get this fight going — and win. I love you very much.”

“NO ONE WILL BEAT ME” Timothy fought on the undercard of the Serhil “El Flaco” Bohachuk vs. Cleotis “Mookie” Pendarvis fight. He stopped his opponent in the third round with a powerful body shot that dropped Torres to the canvas after a series of punches. This was especially impressive, his grandfather said, considering that his opponent is a southpaw, who can be extremely challenging to box for an orthodox fighter.

During the fight, “the commentators said ‘he’s thinking too much; he needs to throw more punches,’ ” Robert Sr. recalled.

“But he was analyzing the southpaw. I saw him thinking and thought, ‘he’s got this,’ and he made the guy miss.”

Timothy’s opponent is also older, having about a decade of maturity over the young Kid Hollywood.

“A man hits differently than a kid,” Robert Sr. emphasized.

“And we found out the guy’s an MMA [Mixed Martial Arts] fighter and had a championship belt. When we looked him up

and saw him fight, Timmy said, ‘I can beat that guy.’ He studied him and dominated the fight.”

Shortly after Timothy’s bout, he was interviewed by a reporter with Villainfy Media, who praised the young man for showcasing an impressive pro debut with his power, speed, footwork and patience.

“I felt comfortable the entire time,” Timothy said, adding that his goals are to prevail in at least five more fights this year. “I’m on top of the game and I know I’m gonna stay on top of the game — no one will beat me,” he said, adding, “This is something I’ve been wanting so long I cannot even put it into words right now.” During the interview, Timothy’s father said that walking his son into the ring “made me want to cry,” adding, “he’s made my grandfather who just passed away so proud right now . . . that was his dream, to see him get in the ring and I know he’s watching him right now.”

SCRAPPY’S COMEBACK Before his comeback fight on March 31, several years had passed since Robert Jr.’s last fight. During that time, he sparred with numerous championship fighters, including Robert Guerrero, who held world championship titles in two weight classes; Brian Viloria, a former unified World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) flyweight champion; Manny Pacquiao, the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing; Sergey Lipinets, a boxer and former kickboxer who held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) light-welterweight title; José Celaya, a former WBO NABO (North American Boxing Organization) welterweight champion; Vinc Pichel, an MMA fighter who was also a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: Live; Naseem Hamed, who held multiple featherweight world championships; and Joel Casamayor, who held world championships in two weight classes.

“I stayed in the gym and stayed active,” said Robert Jr., now 37. “I know a lot of fighters say that’s different than fighting in the ring. But I stayed in there with a lot of pro fighters helping them get ready for their pro fights.”

In the interim, there were a few fights he prepared for, but typical to the fight game, the bouts would fall out for a variety of factors: the promoter would pull out last minute, or one of the contestants would back out due to an unexpected injury or other issues. Nevertheless, “I never wanted to give up on my dream,” Robert Jr. said, further adding, “I went through a situation that kept me out completely for awhile.”

MURDER FOR HIRE This situation involved a murder for hire — conspiracy and solicitation to commit murder on Robert Jr.’s life. Looking back, he said, “a lot of my family and friends don’t know what happened to me — I’m ready to come out with it.”

The situation, in part, revolved around a woman, the mother

of Robert Jr.’s daughter, Teagan, now 7 years old. In the end, in December 2015, a jury found Brandon Michael Adams not guilty of felony conspiracy to commit murder, a charge involving an alleged plot to kill Robert Jr. The jury did find Adams, then 31 years old, guilty of felony solicitation of murder, among other crimes.

“It was more of a jealousy thing,” Robert Jr. said in retrospect. “I was with Teagan’s mother . . . but before that she was with [Brandon] and she broke up with him, and me and her had a relationship. When we split up, in between that time, they went back together, and he could never get out of the part that me and her had a child together.”

According to Robert Jr., while Adams was in prison, he wrote him a letter, saying “he always had a form of jealousy . . . he couldn’t get over the situation of us having a child.” In another odd twist in the case, “a friend of his got arrested and he tried to say that I went and ratted on him. But it all came out that was a lie. It ruined my name because they tried to make me look like a snitch. But the truth came out that I never did anything.”

Few people knew what was going on in Robert Jr.’s life during this terrifying time, when he said “This guy wanted me kidnapped and tortured, my tongue cut out.” His son was 14 years old when this was going on, and to make matters worse, “He said if Timothy was around, go ahead and hurt him, too.”

The situation caused both his daughter and son to be traumatized, he said, with his daughter frightened every time there was a knock at their door, and his son suffering from nightmares, “worrying about his father dying.”

Adams ended up getting out of jail about a year ago, because “he did his time served and that new law with the felons,” plus, Adams’ parents got him a great lawyer, Robert Jr. said, so “all together he got 10 years, then it was counted down to time served, then he got work furlough — they put him in fire camp and when you’re in fire camp you get less time, so he got out earlier. And on top of that, I went to get a restraining order . . . because I was worried for my son, my daughter and my new baby boy.” Adams’ parents got him great legal representation, Robert Jr. said, “and he got out of the restraining order.”

“I HAD THIS HUNGER IN ME TO FIGHT” Although Robert Jr. knew that Adams was out of jail, “I had this hunger in me to fight. Not only that, I wanted to be able to train next to my son. I felt like my career was taken away from me because of the situation; my dream was put on hold.”

While training for his comeback fight helped take his mind off things a bit, “I believe no fighter is 100 percent going into the ring; you’re going to have an injury; you’re going to have thoughts in your mind. It was a stress … until I knew my brain was ready.”

On March 31, which marked his 12th pro fight, “I didn’t feel ring rust; I felt where I was supposed to be. I felt back at home.”

He felt good about boxing Misael Chacon, a fighter with more than 23 bouts who won his last fight by knockout.

“I’d been off, but I put myself to the test. Since the fight, I’m ready to fight again; I’ve never felt so comfortable,” Robert Jr. said. “My victory was just stepping in the ring.”

Today, “I know I have that fight back in me, and want to fight at least six more times then have that

KID HOLLYWOOD With 20 amateur fights under his belt, and after a tremendous victory at his pro debut, Timothy is ready to fight again.

Looking back on his life so far, he said his urge to turn pro sparked around age 12, but even before that, “I loved boxing.”

He tried other sports, like football, soccer and baseball, but his heart always came back to the ring.

“It’s the challenge, it’s something you gotta overcome, and it’s not like you overcome it and that’s it,” said Timothy, who also earned a California State title as an amateur boxer. “Like with football, you make it to the NFL, and you overcame everything. With fighting, you have to overcome every single time that you have to go into the ring.”

When his grandfather would promote him, people in the boxing game would say, “he’s only had 20 amateur fights — that’s not enough, I’ve had guys with over 100 fights,” Robert Sr. remembered. But he believes “when those guys have to turn pro, and they’re all punchy, then you’re going to worry about what you’re invested in. Are you going to invest in somebody who’s up-and-coming that has his smarts, and will continue having his smarts?”

Fighters who’ve had too many amateur bouts or fought numerous smokers during their boxing careers “only last a couple years because they’re too punchy by the time they get to the pros,” Robert Sr. said. As far as his grandson’s boxing career is concerned, “we didn’t want him to take the same kind of punishment in amateur boxing . . . we wanted to save his mentality.”

For Timothy, Kid Hollywood stands for “flashiness and

drama,” he said. “My style is more of a dramatic style. I want to bring something different every time — entertainment. The whole reason with my pro fighting . . . I want to bring entertainment to fighting. I feel like boxers have become very bland where they think there’s only one way to do it — be a tough guy. I know there are different little holes that can be filled, and that’s where I’m going to come in.”

KID GLOVES The Ortiz fighters train at Kid Gloves Boxing in Simi Valley, which Robert Sr. has operated in town for 26 years. The gym, currently located at the Simi Town Center, previously operated in two locations, the first on Los Angeles Avenue, which was destroyed during the El Niño rains in the late 1990s, and then relocated to Tapo Street with help from local fundraising efforts.

“My gym is the longest lasting gym in Simi Valley — no other gym has stuck it out this long,” said Robert Sr., a veteran who served in the Marine Corps. “We’ve been very successful because of the passion and love that I have for what I’m doing.

And I am truly blessed because of the tools that God gives me … and the legacy I’m keeping alive.”

That legacy is Frank Goodman, the founder of Kid Gloves, who mentored Robert Sr. and his brothers when they were young. Goodman was an intercollegiate lightweight champion, promoter, trainer, manager, referee, television boxing show producer and host; as well as an author and owner of gyms and boxing schools for boys in his native Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

Robert Sr. opened Kid Gloves in Simi Valley 26 years ago as a place where fighters could train, but with a special focus on

latch-key kids who had nowhere to go, especially unattended after school, and would be out getting into trouble otherwise.

They’d be required to finish their homework in exchange for gym time, in which they’d punch the heavy bag, skip rope, shadow box and perform other athletic tasks while in the presence of real fighters who’d serve as positive role models. The kids also participated in Robert Sr.’s boxing class for children, where’d they’d learn discipline through training, and would be asked to repeat a concept that Robert Sr. recites to this day: “ABC Backwards — Conceive, Believe, Achieve.”

In current efforts, Kid Gloves is the training spot for professional boxers and MMA fighters, as well as numerous fitness classes. One of the gym’s signature offerings is called “Punching Out Parkinson’s,” a zero-contact training method that involves exercises associated with boxing, including moving back and forth through shadow boxing, hitting the focus mitts and moving side to side using a double-end bag. According to scientific research, these movements help create neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, which actually helps the cells guard against Parkinson’s disease.

In future efforts, Robert Sr. plans to “bring boxing back to Simi Valley” with bouts every other month for the community, while simultaneously honing his skills as a boxing promoter.

Meanwhile, he is planning his son’s and grandson’s next fight, which he hopes to have on the same card, this summer.

“I got my start by somebody who opened the doors for my family, and how he treated us was the most respectful way, and that’s where my respect comes for other people and helping people out,” Robert Sr. said. “I worked my butt off to get what I got, to be able to keep somebody else’s legacy going, and it’s a blessing to me.”

INSET: “Separation,” 1995, Darlene NguyenEly, from Women Beyond Borders: The Art of Building Community.

Unpacking a movement Women Beyond Borders — the play, the art, the organization — comes to Ventura

by Emily Dodi “What would happen if all women told the truth about their life? The world would split open.”

“That’s what happened that night,” Lorraine Serena said after seeing Women Beyond Borders for the first time. She was quoting a line from the world premiere play, inspired by the international art project of the same name, which Serena founded with a group of fellow women artists almost 30 years ago.

The seismic event, happening onstage at the Rubicon Theatre through June 2, gets its considerable power from the fiercely honest stories and works of art created by women from around the world and all walks of life.

Each work of art started out as a small wooden box, measuring 3-1/2 in. by 2 in. by 2-1/2 in. — “about the size of a human heart.”

In the hands of an artist, each box was transformed into a personal metaphor. The box became a vessel, a womb, a gift, a shrine, a boat . . . the imagery goes on and on. Some works spark a smile. Others hold a world of pain. They all resonate in some way because they represent truth for all to see. Many of the artists wrote stories, essays or poems to accompany their box. Together, the writings, boxes and the journey of the project itself became the inspiration for the stage play.

Brilliantly adapted by Claire Bowman, Karyl Lynn Burns, Beverly Ward and Lauren Patten, with additional stories by Stephanie Coltrin and Sandra Tsing Loh, Women Beyond Borders is wonderfully directed

by Jenny Sullivan.

It is performed in a similar style as The Vagina Monologues, with a rotating cast of women telling many women’s stories. On this particular night, Meredith Baxter, Zilah Mendoza, Joanne Nguyen, Jennifer Leigh Warren and Ulka Simone Mohanty did more than tell stories, they inhabited them. Over the course of about 85 minutes, the audience was transported to a forest in Upstate New

York, a classroom in Rwanda, a boat fleeing Saigon — so many places and experiences that are deeply personal and yet universal. While the actors performed, images of many of the boxes were projected onto a big screen. (This is the beautiful work of set and projection designers Eunnym Cho and Yee Eun Nam.) “The play is really about the journey to make change,” Karyl Lynn Burns explained.

“The story is as much about what happens when a small group decides to do something.

True change can happen.

A small group of Women Beyond Borders turned into a global movement.”

What propelled them to adapt the play now? “The moment arrived,” said Burns. It’s more timely than ever.

The Women Beyond Borders movement began in 1991, when Serena and her group of friends set out on a mission to “make art as if the world matters.” After much deliberation as to how to do that, they happened upon some-

thing that was right in front of them: a wooden box that Serena had found at a thrift shop in Carpinteria. The group decided that a small box would be the perfect “point of departure,” so they made replicas of the thrift-store find and sent it out to friends and curators around the world.

“They were astonished at what came back to them,” said Burns. Word got out and soon more and more women wanted to take part. To date, more than 900 artists from more than 50 countries have created boxes. Women Beyond Borders has inspired workshops, panels and school curriculum. The boxes have been a part of dozens of exhibitions worldwide. In 1996, they traveled by train from Austria to St. Petersburg, where “women beyond borders” translates, to the glee of its creators, to “women out of control.”

The next stop for the boxes is right here in Ventura, where many will be on exhibit at the Museum of Ventura County through June 30.

There will be a community box-making event at the Museum on June 1. Women Beyond Borders will also host a Women’s Leadership Forum entitled “We Tell Our Stories: A Celebration of Women’s Voices and Visions” May 30-June 1 at the Marriott Beach Hotel. The goal of the event is to “effect positive change through creative expression and enterprise.”

Women Beyond Borders continues to grow, with the stage play becoming a part of an ongoing movement. “It belongs to all of us,” Serena said. “It’s a summons to all women to express themselves.” ✦ Women Beyond Borders through June 2 at the Rubicon Theatre at 1006 E. Main Street, Ventura. For more information call 805-667-2900 or visit www.rubicontheatre.org. The accompanying exhibit will run through June 30 at the Museum of Ventura County, 100 E.

Many people think of classical music as straight, even boring, all serious. But Landmark likes to make music about communicating with the audience and each other.”

It is not, Wu emphasizes, about messing with the music, but about interpretation that comes from each member a) knowing the music and b) knowing when to step up or back off to showcase another’s skill. That’s where the communication comes in — often through a nod, a smile, a wink.

“We don’t tweak anything,” says Wu. “We respect composers and compositions. But a composition is not just one line. There is left and right hand, top and bottom voice, and so we’ll use body language in a way that really looks at a particular melody as two melodies, call and response, to see as well as hear. And for us, it’s very natural.”

It’s also very necessary, given the diversity of cultures represented in Landmark. Joining Wu are South Korean cellist Wonsun Keem, Brazilian violinist Luis-Gustavo Mascaro Alberto and Czech violinist Petr Masek.

for example, plays with the band Off to Farofa (fusing elements from Brazilian world music, jazz, rock and pop) and tours with Mexican pop diva Gloria Trevi (on her “El Amor” world tour), while Masek toured nationally with the rock band Death Cab for Cutie.

“We all know the techniques,” Wu says, “but we each have different kinds of musical training, from conservative to soloistic to adventurous, and that makes a difference in how we approach the music.

“So when we rehearse, we try to learn each other’s background, to ask each other, ‘Why do you interpret this music in this way?’ We want to understand each other better, and we learn so much from each other.

Luis-Gustavo, for example, is also a jazz musician, and he tells us that, as a classical musician, you can sometimes get trapped in what your teacher taught you. That new perspective helps each of us grow individually, and that enhances us collectively.”

The composition of the group also factored into its 2018 name change from Sincopa to Landmark.

“We took a year off to redefine our quartet,” says Wu, “and we adopted the new name because while ‘landmark’ often means a structure that’s more established, it can also mean something new and innovative. And either way, it means there is a story to tell, which is what we seek to communicate.”

The group is particularly interested, she adds, in helping “redefine and rejuvenate classical music for younger generations, to draw more youth to live classical music.

Because each of us are also teachers, and it’s important for young people — many of whom have been so attuned to video games and electronic devices that make music for them — to see classical music as well as hear it. We all believe in giving back and helping to develop the next generation of musicians.”

tomatoes. It gets worse.

Maddie meets Dennis (Fabrizio Zacharee Guido) at a local gas station and strikes up a friendship. Dennis is a “juggalo,” a fan of the ’90s band Insane Clown Posse, a hip-hop horrorcore duo known for their violent lyrics, elaborate costumes and painted faces. Maddie is hooked and Kate is left to clean up after her.

When a day of babysitting turns into a week, Kate must survive Maddie’s disasters at home and at school, plus a backstabbing office mate and a neighbor (Kate McKinnon) who is intent on enforcing community rules.

As with most families, chaos rules.

If this all sounds like a setup, it is. Writer and director Laura Steinel has given us a predictable premise. There’s lots of turmoil with Kate playing both the foil and the counselor, the outsider who “gets” Maddie more than her parents.

But fear not. Steinel has managed to give this film some heart to work with. Schilling, known for her comedy in Orange is the New Black, plays her role with good comic timing. Bryn Vale is perfect for this film, a long-suffering nightmare of high school and teenage angst as felt from the perspective of someone having her head stuffed in a toilet.

I suspect that Steinel has something personal to offer here, perhaps some of her own experiences about getting through the teenage years.

While this film is predictable, it also feels familiar, as if some ancient memory is being tweaked about growing up and making it out alive.

Despite what you know is coming, there is chemistry, and the ending lays out some good old-fashioned Juggalo fun.

Stay for the credits. It’s a nice touch.

Family is lightweight but not without its moments of fun and heartache. I’m guessing that most adults who remember their teen years will find something to identify with; most of all, Maddie’s fears and complaints about not fitting in. If you were one of those kids, this movie will ring true for you and maybe even make you laugh. If not, it might do well to remind you that some of those weird kids that you knew in high school (like Bill Gates and Madonna) grew up to rule the world. ♦

Italian grinder — a mix of salami and mortadella with provolone and pepperoncini on a soft Italian roll

T

he style, music and revelry of the Jazz Age have left an indelible impression on American minds, and no Ventura County bar is more influenced by the Roaring Twenties than 1901 Speakeasy.

The lounge downstairs from Heritage Square’s La Dolce Vita — still owned by LDV, but going to great pains to distinguish itself — is ideal for Prohibition Era design.

Access is through a flight of steps at the back of the restaurant, and the windowless interior is dark with an air of mystery; even as the LDV Lounge, it had the feel of an underground bar where the gin is cold, the piano’s hot and a password is required for entry. Leaning into that aesthetic definitely plays to the space’s strengths.

General Manager Jared Krupp oversaw the lengthy remodel in 2018, and has done the 1920s proud, with vintage lighting (and not too much of it), small, intimate tables and a cozy couch set in front of a brick fireplace.

Now, it’s true that the ban on alcohol was enacted in 1920, not 1901, but the inconsistency can be forgiven: 1901 is the year that this lovely historic home-turned-restaurantand-bar was built.

We showed up on a Thursday at the tail end of happy hour. Krupp — who works the bar and is the mind behind the vintage cocktail menu — was quick to place our orders so that we could take advantage of the specials, which included reduced rates on appetizers, well drinks and house wine. We went for the pretzel and some fried green beans ($5 and $6, respectively — a buck less than the regular price) but skipped the well drinks. What attracted us to 1901 Speakeasy were those throwback cocktails.

These included drinks popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: The lime-laced Gin Rickey, the Southside, the Bees Knees, Hemingway’s beloved dai-

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Time to shake things up! In the next three weeks, I invite you to try at least three of the following experiments. 1. See unusual sights in familiar situations. 2.

Seek out new music that both calms you and excites you. 3. Get an inspiring statue or image of a favorite deity or hero. 4. Ask for a message from the person you will be three years from now. 5. Use your hands and tongue in ways you don’t usually use them. 6. Go in quest of a cathartic release that purges frustration and rouses holy passion. 7. Locate the sweet spot where deep feeling and deep thinking overlap.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

According to science writer Sarah Zielinski in Smithsonian magazine, fireflies produce the most efficient light on planet Earth. Nearly 100 percent of the energy produced by the chemical reaction inside the insect’s body is emitted as a brilliant glow.

With that in mind, I propose that you regard the firefly as your spirit creature in the coming weeks.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you, too, will be a dynamic and proficient generator of luminosity. For best results, don’t tone down your brilliance, even if it illuminates shadows people are trying to hide.

by rob brezsny

the appropriate measures to put your new insights into action.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

The next three weeks will be an excellent time to serve as your own visionary prophet and dynamic fortune-teller. The predictions and conjectures you make about your future destiny will have an 85-percent likelihood of being accurate. They will also be relatively free of fear and worries. So I urge you to give your imagination permission to engage in fun fantasies about what’s ahead for you. Be daringly optimistic and exuberantly hopeful and brazenly self-celebratory.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

(May 21-June 20):

Leo poet Stanley Kunitz told his students, “You must be very careful not to deprive the poem of its wild origin.” That’s useful advice for anyone who spawns anything, not just poets. There’s something unruly and unpredictable about every creative idea or fresh perspective that rises up in us. Do you remember when you first felt the urge to look for a new job or move to a new city or search for a new kind of relationship? Wildness was there at the inception. And you needed to stay in touch with the wildness so as to follow through with practical action. That’s what I encourage you to do now. Reconnect with the wild origins of the important changes you’re nurturing.

Here’s a message from author Susan J. Elliott: “This is not your week to run the Universe. Next week is not looking so good either.” Now here’s a message from me: Elliott’s revelation is very good news! Since you won’t have to worry about trying to manage and fine-tune the Universe, you can focus all your efforts on your own self-care. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time to do just that. You’re due to dramatically upgrade your understanding of what you need to feel healthy and happy, and then take

I have no complaints about the measures you’ve taken recently to push past unnecessary limits and to break outworn taboos. In fact, I celebrate them. Keep going! You’ll be better off without those decaying constraints. Soon you’ll begin using all the energy you have liberated and the spaciousness you have made available. But I do have one concern: I wonder if part of you is worried that you have

GEMINI

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

been too bold and have gone too far. To that part of you I say: No! You haven’t been too bold. You haven’t gone too far.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“Dreamt of a past that frees its prisoners.” So wrote Meena Alexander in her poem “Question Time.” I’d love for you to have that experience in the coming weeks. I’d love for you be released from the karma of your history so that you no longer have to repeat old patterns or feel weighed down by what happened to you once upon a time. I’d love for you to no longer have to answer to decayed traditions and outmoded commitments and lost causes. I’d love for you to escape the pull of memories that tend to drag you back toward things that can’t be changed and don’t matter any more.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“Desire is a profoundly upsetting force,” writes author Elspeth Probyn. “It may totally rearrange what we think we want. Desire skews plans and sets forth unthought-of possibilities.” In my opinion, Probyn’s statements are half-true. The other half of the truth is that desire can also be a profoundly healing and rejuvenating force, and for the same reasons: it rearranges what we think we want, alters plans, and unleashes unthought-of possibilities.

How does all this relate to you? From what I can tell, you are now on the cusp of desire’s two overlapping powers. What happens next could be upsetting or healing, disorienting or rejuvenating. If you’d like to emphasize the healing and rejuvenating, I suggest you treat desire as a sacred gift and a blessing.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“So much of what we learn about love is taught by people who never really loved us.” My Sagittarian friend Ellen made that sad observation. Is it true for

you? Ellen added the following thoughts: so much of what we learn about love is taught by people who were too narcissistic or wounded to be able to love very well; and by people who didn’t have many listening skills and therefore didn’t know enough about us to love us for who we really are; and by people who love themselves poorly and so of course find it hard to love anyone else. Is any of this applicable to what you have experienced, Sagittarius? If so, here’s an antidote that I think you’ll find effective during the next seven weeks: identify the people who have loved you well and the people who might love you well in the future — and then vow to learn all you can from them.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Capricorn fantasy novelist Laini Taylor creates imaginary worlds where heroines use magic and wiles to follow their bliss while wrangling with gods and rascals. In describing her writing process, she says, “Like a magpie, I am a scavenger of shiny things: fairy tales, dead languages, weird folk beliefs, and fascinating religions.” She adds, “I have plundered tidbits of history and lore to build something new, using only the parts that light my mind on fire.” I encourage you to adopt her strategies for your own use in the coming weeks. Be alert for gleaming goodies and tricky delicacies and alluring treats.

Use them to create new experiences that thrill your imagination. I believe the coming weeks will be an excellent time to use your magic and wiles to follow your bliss while wrangling with gods and rascals.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“I was always asking for the specific thing that wasn’t mine,” wrote poet Joanne Kyger. “I wanted a haven that wasn’t my own.” If there is any part of you that resonates with that defeatist perspective, Aquarius, now is an excellent time to begin outgrowing or transforming it. I guarantee you that you’ll

have the potency you need to retrain yourself: so that you will more and more ask for specific things that can potentially be yours; so that you will more and more want a haven that can be your own.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

I’m not a fan of nagging. I don’t like to be nagged and I scrupulously avoid nagging others. And yet now I will break my own rules so as to provide you with your most accurate and helpful horoscope. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you aren’t likely to get what you truly need and deserve in the coming days unless you engage in some polite, diplomatic nagging. So see what you can do to employ nagging as a graceful, even charming art. For best results, infuse it with humor and playfulness.
