OPINION Editorial

The value of community

hen it comes to Oxnard’s looming budget cuts, City Manager Alex Nguyen’s proposals for the chopping block are causing an uproar, particularly where the Carnegie Art Museum and the Performing Arts Center are concerned. Nguyen says that the city has a $9.2 million shortfall, with $3 million coming from the rainy day fund and the rest from city budget items and staff layoffs. The budget must be approved by June 30. With a $361 million budget for Oxnard, it’s hard to imagine how to plan for cuts, what is a must and what is nonessential. Given Oxnard’s troubling financial history and an accounting system that dates back to the 1990s (the system was so unreliable that even the district attorney couldn’t file any charges after two years of investigations), we understand that nothing is simple about running a city. Along with closing the PACC and the Carnegie Art Museum, other proposed cuts include closing the Colonia Branch Library, grounding a fire engine at Fire Station 2 in the southern part of the city, cancelling the Fourth of July fireworks hosted annually at the Channel Islands Harbor, slashing the city’s Visit Oxnard tourism budget in half, eliminating the city’s Public Information Office entirely, cutting 30 percent of the city’s groundskeepers positions and releasing the victims advocate and communications manager (both civilian positions) at the Oxnard Police Department. A total of 28 employees will be laid off. Nguyen said that there is no way to make pay cuts across the board due to labor contracts in place. While few would argue that cuts should

come from police and fire or public works, it’s a real shame that two buildings that have played a pivotal role in providing a change of pace — venues for entertaining and being entertained, as well as for social activities that aren’t consumer driven — are valued only for what they cost the city from the general budget. Further, in reality, a significant problem that can’t just be wiped away with the new fiscal year and continues to be a structural drain on city budgets across the country, the high costs of salaries and the consequential pensions. That is the main issue being ignored: in 2018, $8 million of Oxnard’s general fund covered pensions. By 2023, it is estimated to be $16 million. To simply cut, to “pull off the band-aid” of funding for these two art centerpieces of Oxnard seems a bit shortsighted. While approving a balanced budget is a necessity, cutting off two community centers plus the Colonia Branch Library, as well as the fireworks show, seems more like a punishment for city residents rather than a benefit in the long run. At this point, the city must do what it has to do to keep essential services in place, but it would seem that there could be more wiggle room in a $361 million budget to fund, at least in part or temporarily, these major contributors to the arts while community organizers figure out how to keep them sustainable on their own down the road, including forming a public-private partnership. City government isn’t responsible for providing a sense of community, but it should be concerned when it cuts the things that do.

customer experience — a critical component for any customer-facing business. Requiring consumer information like an email address or phone number will lead to confusing and even hostile interactions; increase wait times for people in line; negatively impact people who rely on paper receipts; and, worst of all, highlight and exacerbate the digital divide between the connected of California and the ones who are too young, too old, too digitally inexperienced, too nervous about government intrusion or simply prefer the convenience of paying cash without the requirement to provide yet another digital footprint. We are small business owners that faithfully serve our local communities. We are not billion-dollar technology start-ups. We are not data-privacy security firms. E-receipts are a fair choice for businesses that can afford to offer them and for consumers who choose to seek them out, but forcing small businesses to provide them will make it so much harder to successfully run our businesses, serve our customers and contribute to our communities.

Trump’s new nickname

At least four mass hate crimes in the last two months: Three black Louisiana churches burned down. Two mosques bombed in New Zealand. Three Christian churches and three hotels bombed in Sri Lanka. Mass shooting at synagogue in Poway, California. Massive loss of life and wounding from these crimes. It is indisputable that hate crimes have increased under Trump’s leadership. “Hate crimes reportedly jumped by 226 percent in counties that hosted Trump campaign rallies in 2016” (Vox, March 24, 2019). The New Zealand shooter called Trump “a symbol of renewed white identity” (MSNBC, March 16, 2019). President Trump delights in giving mocking nicknames to his political opponents. How about this one? Hate-crime Trump.

e-Receipt mandate hurts local businesses “Would you like your receipt?” For retail shops like mine and for other small business owners in the Ventura region, this typical friendly courtesy at the end of your meal could turn into the start of a big problem for you, me and all my customers. California State Assembly Bill 161 (AB 161) is not just a solution in search of a real problem, but it will create substantial new headaches for every small business owner in the state. AB 161 mandates — which is the legal term for “requires whether or not it makes sense for your business” — that every small business in California provide digital e-receipts on all transactions. The traditional paper receipt would only be available if the customer specifically requests it, and any business not in complete compliance with the new law would be subject to penalties — or worse, endless lawsuits. All that on top of backbreaking new costs for every business owner in order to be

compliant. Here is the menu of ways AB 161 hurts small businesses and our customers: For starters, the out-of-pocket costs for business owners are enormous. The new system would require nearly every small business to replace their point-of-sale technology to comply with a mandated e-receipt. The estimated cost is $30,000-$45,000 per restaurant or store. That doesn’t even include the time and money to train and retrain employees. All of that adds up to increased costs for the business owner, which either means reduced hours for current workers, limitations on hiring or higher prices passed on to customers. Now, the main course: Privacy. In order for a business to complete a mandated e-receipt transaction with a customer, the customer would have to provide some personally identifiable information. Consumer data management isn’t the arena people like me want to be in, and the recent passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) means that every small business owner would be forced to take on massive and scary new liability regarding data security. Pushed into the data-privacy business by AB 161, too many small businesses will face this liability and not survive. Finally, there is the negative impact on

Deep cuts

Oxnard’s Performing Arts Center, Carnegie Museum on the chopping block in proposed city budget by Chris O’Neal

O chris@vcreporter.com

xnard’s Performing Arts and Convention Center and the Carnegie Art Museum are due to close as part of a proposed 2019-2020 city budget, leaving community members stunned and scrambling for a solution. Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen released details of the proposed budget during a series of community meetings that began in April. One such meeting was recorded and uploaded to social media igniting a firestorm in support of keeping the Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC), which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and Carnegie Art Museum open. For some employees, the video and reports in local media were the first they had heard of the plans. “That was a little disturbing for some of us,” said Gary Blum, chair of the PACC’s Board of Directors. Following the news, a board meeting was held. “I’ve been on this board for a long time and can’t quite remember a meeting like that. There was anger and frustration and fear.” The city’s budget proposal includes over $6 million in cuts which Nguyen says are necessary to “stop the bleeding.” Oxnard’s proposed budget for 2019-2020 is $361 million, according to city budget documents. “The bottom line is that we just can’t afford to do all these things,” said Nguyen, adding that essentially the PACC has received a $1 million subsidy yearly since 2009, a deficit which remains even after revenues from ticket sales and hosted events. “It’s not that we want to do away with it, but we have to stop the severe bleeding and we’re going to have to figure out a sustainable model

that will work.” While the PACC is a nonprofit, funding relies on the city, which owns the building. Donations to the PACC are sent directly to the general fund. Blum says that this model has prevented the PACC from receiving money from donors who wish for the funds to go for specific purposes, such as renovations or programming. “They all have to be deposited with the city [into the general fund] so when we have a major donor that wants to give us money and they hear it won’t go to a restricted fund they don’t want to give us the money,” said Blum, adding that this model would need to change in order for the PACC to be self-sustainable in the future. The city of Oxnard has a $9.2 million budget shortfall; Nguyen’s proposal makes up the deficit through $6 million in budget cuts and $3 million from the rainy day funds. In addition to closure of the PACC and Carnegie Art Museum, the budget proposal includes closure of the Colonia Branch Library, grounding of a fire engine at Fire Station 2 in the southern part of the city, cancelling the Fourth of July fireworks hosted annually at the Channel Islands Harbor, slashing the city’s tourism budget through its agency Visit Oxnard in half, eliminating the city’s Public Information Office entirely, cutting 30 percent of the city’s groundskeepers positions, and releasing the victims advocate and communications manager, both civilian positions, at the Oxnard Police Department, just to name a few of the proposed actions to be taken to close the budget deficit gap. In all, 28 employees will be laid off. Carmen Ramirez, Oxnard City Councilwoman and also member of the PACC board, says that it’s

Thousand Oaks City Council approved, 5-0, on Tuesday, May 21, updating an old ordinance on differentiating between sleeping and camping on public property, allowing the homeless to sleep on public property 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., should no other alternative be available. In September 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that restrictive ordinances concerned with the homeless sleeping in public were unconstitutional. “The municipal code doesn’t distinguish the difference between sleeping and camping,” said Felicia Liberman, Thousand Oaks Assistant City Attorney in a joint call with Thousand Oaks Assistant City Manager Ingrid Hardy. The new ordinance would bring the code up to federal law to properly enforce sleeping versus camping issues, meaning that the homeless are not allowed to erect tents, but they can sleep with bedding in permissible areas. It also allows private property owners more leverage when handling the homeless who may be sleeping on their property. While the city of Thousand Oaks has a faith-based shelter that runs from December to April, Liberman and Hardy said that there is no dedicated year-round shelter. They also said that the homeless in Thousand Oaks had ties to the community and did not express concern that bringing municipal code up to federal law would attract homeless from elsewhere to sleep on public property. “It strengthens the enforcement for the city, at the same time recognizing biological need for sleeping,” Hardy said, noting that it is the right of all the citizens to be able to enjoy public space, in a manner they have enjoyed. — Michael Sullivan

HOUSING FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR HILL, WOOLSEY WILDFIRE The State of California has received approximately $492 million to assist in recovery efforts following the wildfires that ravaged parts of the state in 2017 and 2018. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated the monies from the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Relief to assist in rebuilding areas damaged or destroyed by the Hill and Woolsey fires in Los Angeles and Ventura counties as well as the Carr, Camp and Mendocino Complex wildfires, which affected Shasta, Butte and Lake Counties. The state will allocate the funds to community groups that will decide what should be done to assist in the recovery effort. The money comes as part of a larger, $1.5 billion recovery package, which includes funding for seven states hit by natural disasters in 2018, including hurricanes Michael and Florence, which affected Florida, Georgia and North and South Carolina, respectively. Texas also received funding, due to severe flooding and storms, as did Hawaii, from severe flooding and storms and the eruption of the Kilauea volcano.

“Last year’s disasters left damaged homes, businesses and infrastructure in their wake,” said HUD Secretary Ben Carson. “These recovery dollars will help the hardest-hit communities in these states and allow for residents to put their lives back together again.”

STATE SHUTS DOWN EL RIO WELL OVER SAFETY CONCERNS

On Friday, May 17, the State Water Resource Control Board asked the United Water Conservation District to assist with emergency water diversion to a neighborhood in El Rio after tests earlier in the week showed dangerous levels in nitrates in a water well that serves the community. The well, operated by Vineyard Avenue Acres Mutual Water, serves 364 houses in the community north of Oxnard. On May 10, the State notified the company that the well needed to be shut down due to unsafe and elevated levels of nitrates. United Water provided hoses to connect to a different well to provide water to the affected homes. United Water says that the issue may have stemmed from being unable to divert water in the quantities required, adding that only 16,000 acre-feet of water was permitted to be diverted following heavy rains over the winter months. The City of Oxnard released a statement, noting that the city’s water is not supplied by VAAMW and that it is “clean and safe” following concerns raised on social media.

VENTURA COUNTY DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN ADOPTED

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors have adopted a Disaster Recovery Plan in hopes of creating an efficient process following a major disaster in the county. The plan, adopted on Tuesday, April 30, was created following the Thomas Fire. Reviews of county response to the disaster found that there existed a need for a comprehensive plan to guide recovery efforts following “extraordinary emergency situations.” “When a disaster occurs, it is our duty to create order out of chaos,” said County Executive Officer Mike Powers. “The plan includes a series of checklists that allow for the prompt formation of a recovery team. The checklists and the remainder of the plan provide a ‘roadmap’ for establishing a recovery team, integrating with other jurisdictions and working with incident teams and state and federal recovery teams.” Hazardous materials, debris removal, as well as assistance for housing, financial and mental health services are included in the plan.

COMPUTER CODING EVENT FOR GIRLS RETURNS TO CAMARILLO A two-day computer coding event aimed at middle and high school girls will be held in Camarillo in June. The event, dubbed Hackathon by the Sea – Girls Edition, hopes to “provide a positive environment for girls to use technology” through teaming up to code games, apps and websites. The first Hackathon, held in 2017, enrolled 120 students for the event. Of those, only 18 were girls, says Juliet Herman, director of Career Education for the Ventura County Office of Education. The following year, the VCOE hosted its first Girls Edition of the Hackathon. “We thought it might be a great idea to offer a safe space where young women or people who are interested in making sure women have an opportunity to go into these fields can create in a space that’s a little low stakes,” said Herman. The annual Hackathon is a 24-hour event wherein students form teams and work for the entirety of a day and night to complete their projects. “That’s a lot for students who have no experience or for younger students, so we created the girls hackathon to fill that space so that young women can have an opportunity to dip their feet into the water.” The first girls’ edition Hackthon enrolled 60 girls. To date, 120 girls have signed up for the summer 2019 Girls Edition Hackathon, with a waiting list growing by the day. The event will begin on Friday, June 21, with a dinner and team building exercises. The girls will meet mentors — professionals who work in STEM fields — and formulate a plan for the following day, when the teams

Herman says that the ultimate goal of the Hackathon is to get young women interested early in the Science, Technology, Engineering

Oxnard Continued from Page 6 “very painful times” but that the city “needs to stabilize to go forward.” While the Performing Arts & Convention Center first opened in 1968, the Carnegie Art Museum was originally known as the Carnegie Library when it was built in 1906 as part of businessman Andrew Carnegie’s philanthropic efforts to provide free public libraries around the country. “We can’t make things better if we don’t recognize our financial reality,” said Ramirez. Ramirez points out that the city gives thousands in funding dollars to local artists and community cultural groups annually which can’t be touched for any other purpose. “I’m hoping that this is just temporary.” Ramirez says that she has asked that current commitments at the PACC can be honored. The PACC, aside from hosting concerts and celebrity comedians, hosts community events on a daily basis, from a weekly bingo night to weddings and quinceañeras, its calendar filled with various events through the summer of 2020. When they close, however, Ramirez says there are other venues in the community such as at Pacifica High School that could be further utilized and that the studio attached to the Carnegie Art Museum will remain open. On Wednesday, May 22 (after the VCReporter goes to print), the PACC Board of Directors hosted a meeting at

and Math (STEM) fields so that they have a foundation upon which to build a career in the future. “Currently in our STEM field, we are about 30-35 percent female on a good day,” said Herman. “We want young women to feel like they can enter that space with the same confidence and skill level as young men do. The world is represented by men and women and we want that voice in all of our industries.”

California State University Channel Islands Program Chair and Professor of Computer Science Michael Soltys, Ph.D., has been appointed as an inaugural member of the California Cybersecurity Task Force created by former Gov. Jerry Brown. The task force, a project of the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, consists of seven subcommittees. Soltys will work within the Workforce Development and Education Subcommittee. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, an estimated 350,000 cybersecurity jobs remain unfilled nationwide with more than 37,000 of those jobs in California. One of the primary goals of the task force is to create highly trained individuals to fill said roles. “Our aim is to create 50,000 professionals in this state over the next decade,” Soltys said. “We have to bear in mind that it is estimated that of those 37,000 jobs available, about 70 percent require a four-year degree.” Soltys’ task force duties will include standardizing cybersecurity certification; teaching the general public about cyber-hygiene; and helping veterans transition into civilian cybersecurity jobs. “This is good as many of them have military mindsets and come with security clearance,” said Soltys. “This is one area where we can help a lot at CSUCI.” For more information on CSUCI, visit www. F csuci.edu.

which ideas for the continuation of the PACC were discussed, gathered from community members and board members alike. Blum says that while nothing has been set in stone, and though he must bear the burden of asking where funding would come from for the various ideas, the board is open to discussing them. Ideas have included launching a GoFundMe to benefit the PACC, proposed by a 15-year-old student in attendance at a meeting held on Monday, May 20, to hosting a series of performances that would raise funds to cover the annual deficit. Blum says any plan would need to be a sustainable one. Nguyen says that while he knows the importance the arts have for the city of Oxnard, it’s not a question of values, but rather one of being able to compete in the regional market and to become sustainable as a city. “The message I’m sending to the council is that even though I understand they want to provide these amenities, we cannot afford it right now,” said Nguyen. “Every year someone puts a band aid on it. I am tearing the band aid off.” F The City Council will meet on June 5 at 6 p.m. in council chambers where they are expected to give preliminary approval of the budget and convene again on June 18 for a final vote. According to state law, the city must have a final budget by June 30. Special Note: Included in this issue is the annual VCReporter Summer Guide. Please confirm that events listed in Oxnard will be held before attending.

The Carnegie Art Museum, originally the Carnegie Library opened in 1906, would also close as part of the proposed budget. May 23, 2019 —

CREATURE COMFORTS

Beat the summer heat with sequels, the reimagined, docudramas and more

Summer is always a time to pursue your interests, whatever they may be. Vacation. Travel. Weddings. Wine. Vegas. Bunko. Yada yada. It’s no different for films. For summer 2019, I know you’re anticipating a summer feast, an annual tradition since the invention of Jaws back in 1975. Just be aware: If you’re looking for new films, there are going to be sequels. Lots and lots of sequels. It seems that summer has become the season of reruns. Still, it doesn’t mean we can’t find some gems, even if you’re sitting in a theater and saying, “Wait a minute, haven’t I seen . . .?”

Disney is busy this summer with live remakes of previously animated films. First up is Aladdin,the live version without, alas, our motor-mouthed genie, Robin Williams. His replacement, Will Smith, has big shoes to fill. With Mena Massoud as the street urchin Aladdin and Naomi Scott as his beloved princess. Post-Madonna hubbie Guy Ritchie is at the helm.

Want more X-Men? Well, how about an X-Woman? Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner takes on the role of Jean Grey, an extremely powerful mutant with telepathic and telekinetic powers. Grey is injured during a rescue mission and becomes caught in a dual role as herself and the more sinister Phoenix. This is the first in the series to star a woman. Girlpower breaks the X ceiling. Supposedly the seventh and final installment in the X series, but we’ll see.

Aladdin

MAY 31

Godzilla: King of the Monsters -

Somehow, this beloved giant reptile just keeps coming back. He’s unstoppable, I tell you. This time, he does battle with his classic enemies, Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah. Really, you ask? Does the world need another Godzilla? Well, this is number 35 and counting. So stop asking. Kyle Chandler and Vera Farmiga say otherwise. And yes, eventually, we’re going to get Godzilla vs. Kong. Fight location to be determined.

Rocketman

Elton John, the live version. With British actor and singer Taron Egerton doing his own vocals and Julian Day producing the costumes. It’s not a biopic, per say, more of a musical fantasy which attempts to capture the spirit of John the performer. If you’ve grown up with the piano prodigy as I have, this should be a wonderful spectacle. Sequins, gowns, platform shoes, weird glasses. And the music. If you think Lady Gaga invented concert theatrics, meet her predecessor and performance savant.

The Dead Don’t Die

You wouldn’t associate director Jim Jarmusch and zombies in the same sentence, but the always-surprising director brings in Adam Driver and Bill Murray as a couple of small-town cops who are beleaguered by a zombie invasion. Their deadpan humor is Jarmusch deluxe. And get a look at Tilda Swinton, the cross-dressing samurai undertaker. This is the first of my two weird delights for the summer.

JUNE 21 Toy Story 4

Why? After such a beautiful send-off in 2010, what could compel Disney and Pixar to write another version in this beloved series? I don’t know. Maybe . . . money? This story is a sequel to Toy Story 3 and directed by John Cooley, who worked

on the Pixar film Inside Out. It brings back most of the old stars and adds some new ones, especially Tony Hale as “Forky,” a spork turned toy. I’m a little nervous about this. Lots of behindthe-scenes tension over this production.

JUNE 28 Yesterday

So what if there had never been a band called the Beatles? And yet, you wake up from an accident and remember all their music? Himesh Patel plays Jack Malik, a struggling musician who survives a bus accident, only to find that he’s the only one who knows Beatles songs. So, he becomes famous, even Beatleish, but at what cost? Featuring Kate McKinnon and directed by Danny Boyle, it’s a fantasy romp through strawberry fields forever. This film promises a little sentiment, a little romance and a lot of good music, with some original work by singersongwriter Ed Sheeran.

JULY 2

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Tom Holland returns for another reboot of 2017’s Spidey. Which one is this? I know. I can’t keep track either. Just for the record, it’s number 25. This time, Peter Parker goes on a trip to Europe and — surprise, surprise — he meets Marvel’s Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Well, yeah, it is kind of a surprise. Directed again by Jon Watts, it features Jake Gyllenhaal as their superhero companion Mysterio. If Spidey is involved, it could be trouble. Webs everywhere. Where does he find the time?

THE LION KING

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MOSTERS

JULY 12 21 Bridges

This one sounds like guns, blood and guts. Chadwick Boseman, lately of Black Panther, is Andre Davis, a disgraced NYPD detective who somehow manages to put all of New York City on lockdown in order to find a gang of cop killers. Don’t ask me how. I would think the mayor would have something to say about this. It’s chaos and bang-bang with the talented Boseman rising in the heat. And maybe a love interest in the beautiful Sienna Miller? Don’t look now, but she also carries a gun. Oh yeah. More bang for your buck.

JULY 19

The Lion King

Hakuna matata, are these real lions come back to regale us with lion tales? Well, as close as we can get without getting our eyes torn out. Thank heavens for CGI. Once again, Disney cannot leave well enough alone. With director Jon Favreau (Jungle Book) at the helm, however, there’s hope that this may be a big hit. Favreau is a talented storyteller and director, and the cast is good: Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen and James Earl Jones. Noted film musician Hans Zimmer is back, as well as singer/songwriter Elton John and some assist from Queen Beyoncé and theatrical songwriter Tim Rice. Here’s hoping.

ROCKETMAN

JULY 31

Dora and the Lost City of Gold

Beloved Nickelodeon cartoon Dora the Explorer comes to the big screen. Starring Isabela Moner as the title character, with support from Eugenio Derbez, Michael Peña, Eva Longoria, Danny Trejo and Benicio del Toro. If you’re thinking this is the cartoon character, guess again. Dora is struggling as a teen in high school. She travels to South American to find an ancient Incan city and rescue her parents. Nope, this is not your little Dora. She’s growing up right in front of our eyes.

Brian Banks

What would summer be without a true-life inspirational story? Has Greg Kinnear found his uplifting mojo or what? Based on the life of Brian Banks, a high school football star who was falsely accused of rape and spent six years in prison. This promises to be a tug-at-your-heartstrings film with an inspirational ending. And a shot at the NFL. Directed by comedy writer Tom Shadyac and starring Aldis Hodge as Brian Banks and Kinnear as his attorney, Justin Brooks.

AUG. 16

Where’d You Go, Bernadette

Yes, it’s August, but our other favorite offbeat director, Richard Linklater, manages to slide in under the wire with his adaptation of the best-selling novel by Maria Semple. This is my top

DARK PHOENIX weird selection No. 2. Bernadette (Cate Blanchett) is a hateful mother and wife. She doesn’t want to leave the house. She hates the other parents at her daughter Bee’s school. She’s generally a crank who wouldn’t normally be missed if she disappeared. But she does disappear, and I suppose Bee (Emma Nelson) must go looking for her. Knowing Linklater, there’s got to be weird in here somewhere. So, if he’s directing, I’m buying.

AUG. 23 Overcomer

Another inspirational story, this one a faith-based sports drama about a high school cross-country coach, John Harrison (starring director Alex Kendrick), who, with the prayers of friends, transforms real-life runner Olivia Brooks (Priscilla Shirer) into a cross-country champion. The Kendrick brothers (Alex and Stephen) are building a résumé of faith-based films. This is their sixth production.

Wearing their stories Beautiful Disaster relaunches collection, empowers trauma victims by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer

nancy@vcreporter.com

local clothing company will be relaunching a popular collection and helping out trauma victims at the same time. Ventura County-based sportswear brand Beautiful Disaster Clothing — which displays its rock-and-roll aesthetic through skull, devil and phoenix designs, a gothic font and bold slogans — has redesigned its famous Perfectly Imperfect collection. The new design features a large skull with a decorative bow, a diamond underneath it and the words, “You don’t know my story.” Merchandise featuring the new design will be released in June. “Perfectly Imperfect . . . has been in the Beautiful Disaster brand for years,” explains founder Christina DuVarney. “It’s one of our best-selling collections. It was time to give it a facelift.” The company partnered with Marina del Rey-based nonprofit Artists for Trauma (AFT) to create its launch campaign, which will include photos, videos and more. Some of that content was created during a very special photo shoot that took place on May 9 at the Lucky Dog Ranch in Somis, owned by AFT founder Laura T. Sharpe. Models wearing merchandise with the new Perfectly Imperfect design had their scars and other physical attributes decorated by Ventura-based glitter artist Alexis Baxley of Work of Heart (workofheartfacepainting.com), and pictures were taken by photographer Nicole Wise (also of Ventura; wisebynicole.com). Both women offered their time and talent free of charge. A portion of sales from the Perfectly Imperfect line will be donated to AFT. The models used in the campaign came from Beautiful Disasters’ so-called tribe — which is largely made up of customers, but DuVarney says “anybody who is a fan or knows about us or feels a connection to us and our mission is part of our tribe.” She published a post on the company’s Facebook page looking for people who wanted to “celebrate [their] scars” — and got an overwhelming response. Of the eight women who were ultimately selected (based on scheduling and other considerations), all had stories somehow written on their bodies. A tumor as a child left one of the models with a permanently altered face. Another has spots caused by vitiligo. One woman nearly died in a head-on collision, and later 10 — — May 23, 2019

The Dead Boys will perform at The Garage on May 29. From left: Jason Kottwitz (guitar), Ricky Rat (bass), Johnny Blitz (drums), Jake Hout (vocals) and Cheetah Chrome (guitar).

Notes from ground zero Dead Boy Cheetah Chrome reflects on 40+ years of punk in NYC by Dave Gil de Rubio for Last Word Features

unk may be considered a young person’s game, but someone obviously forgot to tell Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome. As someone who made his hay during the halcyon days of late-1970s punk, the Cleveland native has seen plenty go down the pike since the late Joey Ramone convinced owner Hilly Kristal to let the Ohio outfit hit the stage at New York’s CBGB. While frontman Stiv Bators left this mortal coil in June 1990, it didn’t stop Chrome and fellow founding member Johnny Blitz from commemorating the 40th anniversary of its 1977 debut, Young Loud and Snotty. The result: 2017’s Still Snotty: Young, Loud and Snotty at 40, a re-recording of the band’s initial studio outing (sans a few tracks). It was the first album of newly recorded Dead Boys music in 39 years. “The original was supposed to be a demo and I was never happy with my guitar sound and Johnny [Blitz] had some trouble with the drums,” Chrome explained in a recent phone interview. “[Producer] Genya [Ravan] did a great job — no doubt about it. The record has stood up. It’s not like we don’t like the record. It was just something to do to celebrate the 40th anniversary, so we went in and did it.”

‘‘

None of us had been in a studio before. The first person I saw was Peter Frampton. I yelled at him and he ran up the stairs.” — Cheetah Chrome

The album includes 11 songs that bridge early-1950s rock and roll and the punk movement that was evolving on both sides of the Atlantic. Ragged as the playing may be, there are plenty of gems, ranging from the distaff Brill Building aesthetic bubbling throughout “All This and More” to the H-bomb of an opening cut that is the classic “Sonic Reducer.” Elsewhere, the nihilism and choppy riffing of “Ain’t Nothing to Do” rival anything the Sex Pistols were doing over in Merry Old England. With Chrome and Blitz emerging out of the wreckage of Rocket from the Tombs, the duo joined forces with Bators in the short-lived Frankenstein, which eventually evolved into

the Dead Boys. Following a debut gig at CBGB that only netted the band $26, Chrome and company got signed to Sire by label founder Seymour Stein, who sent them into the studio with Ravan. It’s an experience Chrome readily cherishes. “None of us had been in a studio before. The first person I saw was Peter Frampton. I yelled at him and he ran up the stairs. This was when he was huge — I was really proud of that. It was one of my proudest moments,” he said with a laugh. “We had Hilly and a bunch of Hells Angels and girls in the studio. It was like a big party for three days. Genya was friends with Hilly and they were developing a relation-

ship to produce some bands and we wound up being one of them. I was familiar with [her prior band] Ten Wheel Drive and I had seen her on The Tonight Show. I thought she had a lot of balls and was pretty funny. I was willing to give her a shot and she stepped up for sure and kept the energy flowing and directed us really well. We had no experience, so in looking back at it, she did a great job and it’s a really fond memory.” Being at ground zero for the New York City punk movement that was going on in the late 1970s, Chrome has plenty of anecdotes, which he recounted in his 2010 memoir “Cheetah Chrome: A Dead Boy’s Tale From the Front Lines Of Punk Rock.” One that stands out is when Blitz got stabbed in the stomach outside of a club, which prompted a series of fundraising concerts for the drummer. “When Johnny got stabbed, we did a fournight benefit. One of the things we did was get John Belushi [on drums] to do ‘Sonic Reducer’ with us. He . . . got up there and did a pretty good job,” Chrome said. “He struggled through it and he wasn’t perfect, but it was perfect for Belushi.” As for the much-pilloried 2013 movie CBGB, Chrome (portrayed in the film by Rupert Grint) has a more forgiving take on. For him, the backlash was a combination of ego and people not knowing the true back story. “People don’t realize that CBGB and the Dead Boys were intertwined financially. That’s why we were in the movie so much. We were part of Hilly’s business. A lot of people thought Television should have been in the film more. But Hilly didn’t manage Television — he managed us. It was his cross to bear,” Chrome explained. “I thought it was good and people really blasted it for no reason. They didn’t promote it right. They thought it was a punk magazine article come to life. It was a cartoon. It wasn’t supposed to be a gritty documentary.” “I thought Rupert Grint nailed me perfectly,” Chrome continued. “I thought they could have done better with some of the other characters. They called a lot of things out about accuracy, the equipment and stuff like that and they tried, as best they could, but it wasn’t a major studio. Everyone wanted to see themselves in the damn movie and that was a big part of the problem.” The late Bators’ considerable shoes are now being filled by Californian Jake Hout, who had been performing in a tribute band called The Undead Boys. But Chrome credits Hout’s individuality with making this latest version of the Dead Boys work. “It’s been a long time since I trusted anybody to handle Stiv’s part in years. It’s been at least 27 years since he died and Jake is the first guy who I handed the mic over to. He deserves it and is really good at it,” Chrome said. “He nails it and is a great singer. He’s just being Jake.” The immediate future finds the Dead Boys doing some touring. But something new might materialize. “We’re just trying to figure out what the hell to do,” Chrome said. “Once we get past the anniversary [stuff], we’ll do something new for the Dead Boys.” F The Dead Boys perform with Die Group on Wednesday, May 29, at 8 p.m. at The Garage, 1091 Scandia Ave., Ventura. For tickets and more information, call 805-647-9681 or visit the venue’s Facebook page.

sparse of such options, but because the success of Yokozuna allowed the owner to have two locations, the other in Oxnard. In a quiet strip mall off the “could use a decent repaving” Harvard Boulevard in Santa Paula, we ordered ours to go. The dining room has a handful of tables and a sushi bar, with obvious Japanese-themed art and décor, but we often prefer the ambiance of home and our choice of movies to go with it. My companion and I talked about ordering sea urchin, something he had never tried despite growing up on the docks of Ventura Harbor. I recall only trying it once, while living in Fresno, with a friend who made the most unusual face trying the mustard yellow, briny, soft delicacy. Many people might hesitate, given its resemblance to a tastebud-covered tongue, but we have no fear of the extraordinary.

menu. Some of the pictures online of salmon and tuna sashimi in a no doubt delicious sauce make my mouth water. No hesitation regarding freshness at Yokozuna. After we got situated, we divvied up the bounty. The popper came with half a jalapeño, medium size, stuffed with minced spicy tuna and cream cheese, battered in tempura and fried. In all reality, who doesn t love warm cream cheese? This option, when it meets the basic standards, is a perfect amuse bouche. I probably could have eaten a few more and been just that much happier. The jalapeño did not sting my tongue, at least. The fresh sashimi cocktail included ahi tuna, yellowtail and salmon. Each slice a sufficient bite, no sign of fishiness. For our main course, the muy chignon roll, we had salmon, seaweed salad on cucumber, avocado, asparagus with yellowtail, plus a healthy sprinkling of orange roe. With the rubbery texture of the seaweed, the burst of salt water with the roe, the crunch of the cucumber and asparagus, plus the creamy avocado and fresh fish, it was a roll worth ordering again — maybe a double order next time. Given that so many rolls start to look and sound the same, so many restaurants opting for the same ol’, I was quite happy with this choice. The unfortunate part of eating sea urchin is price and availability. When my companion tried it, he really enjoyed that creamy/salty combination of the little spiny creature, no qualms about appearances or flavor. It’s a little difficult to savor when it comes and goes in one bite, but we certainly wouldn’t mind a few more next time. If there is one thing to note above all else, it is the variety of different rolls that I had not already become accustomed to. From the “hot night” roll to the KFC roll and the “I hate you” roll, there is truly something for everyone for any occasion. There are also udon or teriyaki options, to accommodate the “I don’t do raw fish” companions. If you find yourself in Santa Paula looking for something off the beaten road, literally, check out Yokozuna. ♦

The Great War

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Tolkien Directed by Dome Karukoski Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Lily Collins, Colm Meaney Rated PG-13 for some sequences of war violence 1 hr., 52 mins.

college, I lost myself in Tolkien’s writings. From The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, his work exposed me to a world beyond my small-town life and my insulated academic environment. How strange that I never bothered to know J.R.R. Tolkien, the man who created this world. It was as if he wrote in such a fashion that his words consumed his identity, and I was absorbed in them. Forty-five years later, in the film Tolkien, someone has taken on the task of reminding me that there was indeed a man behind the writer and that his early life was a key to creating such a complicated imaginary world. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (Nicholas Hoult) was born to British parents in South Africa. His father died when he was quite young and his mother, Mabel (Laura Donnelly), died when

he was 12, leaving him under the guardianship of Father Francis (Colm Meaney), a Catholic priest. Later, Tolkien and his brother, Hilary (James MacCallum), were given to the care of Mrs. Faulkner (Pam Ferris) and attended King Edward’s School in Birmingham. There he joined a group of friends known as the Tea Club and Barrovian Society, or as they called themselves, The TCBS. The group included Robert Gilson (Patrick Gibson), Geoffrey Smith (Anthony Boyle) and Christopher Wiseman (Tom Glynn-Carney). It was a friendship they maintained into their college years. Tolkien was from the working class, an outsider forced to survive among more elite students. Though his intelligence among his peers was unrivaled, his attitude often caused him trouble. While living with Mrs. Faulkner, he fell in love with a fellow resident, Edith Bratt (Lily Collins), a young pianist who shared Tolkien’s restlessness and desire for an adventurous life. Then came World War I. Tolkien went to fight in France. Tolkien the film intertwines stories of his youth with his terrible military experience and near death from trench disease on the front lines of the Somme in 1916. Tolkien may be defined as a biopic, but Finnish director Dome Karukoski intends to give you a foreshadowing of the struggle to come — the war for the ring. As Tolkien lays

dying in France, images of Gandalf and evil warriors appear to him in visions. As he wanders aimlessly across the battlefield, scenes from The Lord of the Rings surround him with fire and black demonic smoke. Karukoski’s intent is clear: This war formed the future fellowship of the ring. Even if he sometimes overplays his hand and loses the subtlety of the storied images, it’s hard to fault him for his approach. Tolkien saw with his eyes what he later wrote from his heart. Tolkien the young man as played by Hoult is precisely as you might envision him: keen, observant, quick, restless and determined not to be hobbled by snobbish English customs. The strength of the film lies in the relationships between Tolkien and his friends. This is especially true with the poet, Geoffrey, who stands as a moral compass to Tolkien’s anger

and a willing rescuer when Tolkien goes off the rails. Collins as Edith is Hoult’s equal, a woman ahead of her time, fiercely independent, yet willing to be vulnerable to Tolkien, even when his present and future are consumed by turmoil. Tolkien is not a typical biography. It’s more of a foreshadowing and an exploration of themes in the writer’s life that eventually come to full fruition on paper. Indeed, Gandalf and Frodo and Bilbo come from the author’s internal pain, love and war. Scrolled by pen on a page, they remind us that Tolkien was a man who, like his characters, had to stumble his way through his quest. What he shared was to the benefit of us all, fellow pilgrims, who by reading his stories uncover the strength to fulfill our own destinies. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Having It Tall

I’

m a 6’2” woman. What’s the ideal way for me to respond when people (almost always men and total strangers) ask, out of the blue, “How does a woman your height find boyfriends?”

— Annoyed I’d opt for the macabre approach, delivered totally deadpan: “Actually, I stretch short men on a rack in my basement. You can sometimes hear the screams from the side yard.” Responding with shocking humor — in an uber-cool tone — gives you the upper hand, in a way an enraged response to their rudeness would not. And yes, people who

by amy alkon say this to you are rude — assuming you don’t go around wearing a sign that reads “Hey, strangers, ask me anything! Nothing’s too impolite or too personal!” Of course, when people overstep (as maybe 6,055 other people have done previously), it’s natural to get angry — to go loud and ugly in calling them on their rudeness. However, that sort of directness — explicitly telling them that they’ve wronged you — is probably counterproductive. Social psychologist Elliot Aronson finds that people are highly prone to “self-justification” — the ego-defending denial that they’ve behaved badly. Making matters worse, our fight-or-flight system reflexively reacts to verbal attacks in the same adrenalized way it does to physical attacks. So, angry directness from you is likely to provoke a rudester into amping up the ugly — turning around and deeming you rude, wrong and “Wow ... testy!” for your response. Ultimately, using humor as I suggested — an over-the-top statement, delivered flatly — allows you to restructure the power balance, shifting yourself out of the victim position. You’re clearly informing the person they’ve crossed a line, with minimal aggression on your

part. This is important because, as a tall girl, your energy is best put to more productive ends — folding yourself up like origami to fly in coach and fighting the Statue of Liberty for the extremely tall guys of Tinder.

Meek My Day! My style is basically grunge rocker girl: ancient jeans, a vintage rock T-shirt, and bedhead. I need photos of myself, so late Saturday afternoon, I did a photo shoot with a professional stylist, makeup artist and photographer. Long story short, I despise all the photos. They dressed me in “nice lady” clothes I hated and put too much makeup on me, including lipstick, which I never wear. I’m normally pretty assertive, so I don’t understand why I didn’t speak up for myself.

— Irritated When your style is grunge femme — bedhead and jeans that appear to be loaners from a wino — it’s a major bummer to pay for photos that make you look like you sell high-end real estate via bus bench ads. It’s especially bummerific when you could have spoken up but instead just went along like a lap dog in a bee outfit. But the reality

is, your ability to assert yourself — which comes out of a set of cognitive processes called “executive functions” — can get a little beaten down. Executive functions are basically the COO (chief operating officer) of you — the cerebral department of getting stuff done, through, among other things, planning, prioritizing, holding sets of facts in mind, and making choices. And then there’s the executive function that crapped out on you: “inhibitory control,” which, as cognitive neuroscientist Adele Diamond explains, allows you to direct your “attention, behavior, thoughts and/or emotions.” This, in turn, empowers you to do what you know you should — like eating your green beans instead of going with what your impulses are suggesting: faceplanting in a plate of fries and soldiering on to do the same in a bowl of chocolate frosting. As I explain in my “science-help” book, Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence, our mental energy to keep our executive functions powered up gets eroded by stress, fatigue, hunger and even seemingly minor mental chores — like choosing between the 30 slightly different kinds of balsamic at the supermarket. Basically, as the day draws on and you put

weight on your executive functions, you wear out their ability to be there for you. So, what can you do to avoid repeating this experience? Try to schedule tiring, emotionally taxing projects earlier in the day. It also helps to figure out ahead of time where your boundaries lie — stylistic or otherwise. Then, when somebody does something you’re not comfortable with, you’ve preidentified it as a no-no, which makes it easier for you to stand up for yourself — calmly and firmly. Remember, “every picture tells a story” — and it’s best if yours doesn’t seem to be about the time the lady at the Estee Lauder counter held you down, made you up, and then pulled out her Ruger and forced you into mom jeans.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

In the coming weeks, I suspect you will have the wisdom to criticize yourself in constructive ways that will at least partially solve a long-standing problem. Hallelujah! I bet you will also understand what to do to eliminate a bad habit by installing a good new habit. Please capitalize on that special knowledge! There’s one further capacity I suspect you’ll have: the saucy ingenuity necessary to alleviate a festering fear. Be audacious!

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

What standards might we use in evaluating levels of sexual satisfaction? One cruclal measure is the tenderness and respect that partners have for each other. Others include the ability to play and have fun, the freedom to express oneself uninhibitedly, the creative attention devoted to unpredictable foreplay, and the ability to experience fulfilling orgasms. How do you rate your own levels, Taurus? Wherever you may currently fall on the scale, the coming months will be a time when you can accomplish an upgrade. How? Read authors who specialize in the erotic arts. Talk to your partners with increased boldness and clarity. While meditating, search for clues in the depths.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

If there were a Hall of Fame for writers, Shakespeare might have been voted in first. His work is regarded as a pinnacle of intellectual brilliance. And yet here’s a fun fact: The Bard quoted well over a thousand passages from the Bible. Can you imagine a modern author being taken seriously by the literati if he or she frequently invoked such a fundamental religious text? I bring this to your attention so as to encourage you to be Shakespeare-like in the coming weeks. That is, be willing to draw equally from both intellectual and spiritual sources; be a deep thinker

by rob brezsny

who communes with sacred truths; synergize the functions of your discerning mind and your devotional heart.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

“People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty,” writes Cancerian author and entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss. He doesn’t do that himself, but rather is quite eager to harvest the perks of dwelling in uncertainty. I presume this aptitude has played a role in his huge success; his books have appeared on bestseller lists and his podcasts have been downloaded more than 300 million times. In telling you this, I’m not encouraging you to embrace the fertile power of uncertainty 24 hours a day and 365 days of every year. But I am urging you to do just that for the next three weeks. There’ll be big payoffs if you do, including rich teachings on the art of happiness.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Many 18th-century pirates were committed to democracy and equality among their ranks. The camaraderie and fairness and mutual respect that prevailed on pirate ships were markedly different from the oppressive conditions faced by sailors who worked for the navies of sovereign nations. The latter were often pressed into service against their will and had to struggle to collect meager salaries. Tyrannical captains controlled all phases of their lives. I bring this to your attention, Leo, with the hope that it will inspire you to seek out alternative approaches to rigid and hierarchical systems. Gravitate toward generous organizations that offer you ample freedom and rich alliances. The time is right to ally yourself with emancipatory influences.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Don’t wait around for fate to decide which decisions you should make and what directions you should go.

Formulate those decisions yourself, with your willpower fully engaged. Never say, “If it’s meant to be, it will happen.” Rather, resolve to create the outcomes you strongly desire to happen. Do you understand how important this is? You shouldn’t allow anyone else to frame your important questions and define the nature of your problems; you’ve got to do the framing and defining yourself. One more thing: don’t fantasize about the arrival of the “perfect moment.” The perfect moment is whenever you decree it is.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll regularly give yourself to generous, expansive experiences. I hope you’ll think big, funny thoughts and feel spacious, experimental emotions. I hope you’ll get luxurious glimpses of the promise your future holds, and I hope you’ll visualize yourself embarking on adventures and projects you’ve been too timid or worried to consider before now. For best results, be eager to utter the word “MORE!” as you meditate on the French phrase “joie de vivre” and the English phrase “a delight in being alive.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

According to Popular Mechanics magazine, over three million sunken ships are lying on the bottoms of the world’s oceans. Some of them contain billions of dollars’ worth of precious metals and jewels. Others are crammed with artifacts that would be of great value to historians and archaeologists. And here’s a crazy fact: fewer than one percent of all those potential treasures have been investigated by divers. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I hope it might inspire you to explore your inner world’s equivalent of lost or unknown riches. The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to go searching for them.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“Some days you need god’s grace,” writes poet Scherezade Siobhan. “On other days: the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire.” I’m guessing, Sagittarius, that these days you might be inclined to prefer the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire. But according to my astrological analysis, those flashy phenomena would not motivate you to take the corrective and adaptive measures you actually need. The grace of god — or whatever passes for the grace of god in your world — is the influence that will best help you accomplish what’s necessary. Fortunately, I suspect you know how to call on and make full use of that grace.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Capricorn poet William Stafford articulated some advice that I think you need to hear right now. Please hold it close to your awareness for the next 21 days. “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk,” he wrote. “Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.” By practicing those protective measures, Capricorn, you will foster and safeguard your mental health. Now here’s another gift from Stafford: “Things you know before you hear them — those are you, those are why you are in the world.”

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“Love is an immoderate thing / And can never be content,” declared poet W. B. Yeats. To provide you with an accurate horoscope, I’ll have to argue with that idea a bit. From what I can determine, love will indeed be immoderate in your vicinity during the coming weeks. On the other hand, it’s likely to bring you a high degree of contentment — as long as you’re willing to play along with its immoderateness. Here’s another fun prediction: I suspect

that love’s immoderateness, even as it brings you satisfaction, will also inspire you to ask for more from love and expand your capacity for love. And that could lead to even further immoderate and interesting experiments.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

You will know you are in sweet alignment with cosmic forces if you have an impulse to try a rash adventure, but decide instead to work on fixing a misunderstanding with an ally. You can be sure you’re acting in accordance with your true intuition if you feel an itch to break stuff, but instead channel your fierce energy into improving conditions at your job. You will be in tune with your soul’s code if you start fantasizing about quitting what you’ve been working on so hard, but instead sit down and give yourself a pep talk to reinvigorate your devotion and commitment. Homework: Make up a secret identity for yourself. What is it? How do you use it? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com
