OPINION Editorial

Hotter all the time I t’s not unusual for Ventura County to get hot in the summer — many of us have lived in apartments and workplaces without ventilation or air conditioning and recall exhausting heat — but as the years progress, so do the temperatures apparently. Judging by past news reports, each year seems to be topping the year before with higher temperatures. This July, the highs are stifling in this extended heat wave.

“In Ventura County, temperatures reached the low 90s in some areas Monday, but Tuesday is expected to bring hotter conditions, with some areas reaching the upper 90s,” said Keily Delerme, a National Weather Service meteorologist. “Wednesday will be much the same, only hotter,” in “Thunderstorms, extended heat wave expected in Ventura County,” July 22, VCStar.

At the same time that our county hits peak temperatures, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors was discussing drilling new oil wells on an existing site in Oxnard. The Supervisors, 4-1, denied the new drilling expansion project. The oil industry itself takes much of the blame for rising temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions.

“Transportation (28.9 percent of 2017 greenhouse gas emissions) – The transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation primarily come from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains and planes. Over 90 percent of the fuel used for transportation is petroleum based, which includes primarily gasoline and diesel,” according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In light of sweltering temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions, here is the dire predicament all human beings face: How do we get out of this mess?

One idea, employers can contribute by recognizing their role and ability to reduce the carbon footprint of all their employees traveling to and from the office each day — is five days a week in this virtual world absolutely necessary?

Further, for those who must work at minimum wage, some working two or three jobs just to pay for basic necessities, employers should consider providing efficient transportation as to not exhaust the worker more, such as encouraging ride shares and “car shares” through financial incentives. The reason why holding employers responsible is critical, the exponential impact of employers joining this movement could be the thing that strikes the balance with individual accountability and government intervention such rebates for electric cars and going solar.

Thinking bigger, with the money saved on gas by workers, the trickledown effect could be tremendous. There has been a lot of talk for many years about eating local produce, thereby reducing demand for imports and the fuel transport burns. That might be troubling to port commissioners, but really, what will the port be worth once the polar caps are gone?

We live in a mass consumption society that demands waste for profit in so many arenas of life yet we rarely demand change. But companies such as Trader Joe’s is starting to understand their role as well: is all that packaging really necessary? Think about all the impacts of removing packaging on so much of their produce, from the weight of it in transport to sheer added volume in shopping containers and fewer trips to distribute.

Understanding, jobs will be impacted, but maybe employers can pay their employees more in those recovered costs.

It’s a wild, civilized world out there, but the individual and the government should not be shouldering the burden alone.

VC2040 General Plan Update.

Pesticide use depends on disposable land and people. After years of heavy use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers the soil is practically devoid of organic matter and needs life support to grow a crop. Residents in Oxnard are feeling the effects, and taking action.

They refuse to be disposable.

There used to be an “away.” We could throw stuff away and it would be gone. Now we know that there is no away. We are down wind, downstream, next to someone who will have to experience a degraded lifestyle from the trash, toxins, poison that we put out in our environment. How do we get the job done of producing food without using toxic stuff and so much fossil fuel?

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies focus on long-term prevention of pests through cultural practices, resistant crop varieties, habitat manipulation, and use of biological pest control and avoid toxic chemical pesticides except as a last resort.

Indigenous peoples across the world, used farming practices that were regenerative — healing the life in the soil, the environment and the community. The study of these practices is called agroecology. How do we support our hard working farmers to adopt this style of farming?

With a VC Grown label with sensible standards for pesticide and ag chemical use, and educational programs. And the county can buy local food for its programs.

Contact your county supervisor and ask that the county support our farmers to transition to regenerative organic practices and promotion of VC Grown food in the general plan.

With all the farms using non-toxic pesticides and regenerative methods, we will all breathe easier and have improved health.

Hive heists

In Brief ELECTRIC HYBRID CRANE DELIVERED TO PORT OF HUENEME

Local beekeepers hit by thieves at a high cost kimberly@vcreporter.com

I

t’s the middle of the night. Several dozen nondescript wooden boxes are stacked among rows of avocado trees in Santa Paula.

The boxes are home to bustling colonies of honey bees, working by day to pollinate the nearby trees and make honey, then resting at night. A truck approaches, the hives are loaded up and soon the truck is gone.

Bee hive theft is not a problem immediately associated with the liquid gold we buy at stores or farmers markets and spread on scones or add to tea. But it’s a common issue in the beekeeping industry, and Ventura County beekeepers regularly feel the effects of the sticky fingers of bee hive thieves. ”You can make a lot of money with bees. If you take them to almonds, you get paid by each box that you place,” said Karen Grammer, operations manager at Bennett Honey Farm of Fillmore. She said the company just realized that four pallets of hives were taken. That is 16 hives, each holding 30 pounds of honey. They were taken from a ranch that wasn’t gated and it is thought that a truck was coming in every night and taking a few pallets at a time.

Grammer said it’s not a “huge loss.” They haven’t reported the theft yet. But she said that about a year ago, an entire yard of hives was taken. “It was 100 hives, we lost $72,000 of income, plus the boxes and bees and equipment.”

Bee keepers who sell honey need places to put their hives, and they can get paid by farmers who need pollination for their crops.

Prices range from $180 to around $250 per hive to “rent” hives to almond growers to ensure pollination occurs across thousands of acres in the Central Valley. According to Deputy Randy Freeman with the Butte County Sheriff, the “largest pollination event in the world” takes place in California every year with the almond pollination.

“Ventura County is a great spot for bees in the winter,” said Ed Williams, Ventura County Agricultural Commissioner. At a recent county Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee (APAC), a beekeeper reported that there are about 100,000 bee hives in the county at any given time. “But only 16,500 are registered,” said Williams.

Beekeepers bring their bees to the county for the “temperatures and forage available” as they prepare to take their bees to the Central Valley for the almond pollination in February and March.

Lemon and avocado growers in the county also need bees for pollination, although they are not as heavily dependent on bees as almonds.

Williams’ office is beginning to implement a new program, approved in April, aimed at stopping hive theft and preventing hives from being sprayed by pesticides. He explained that the plan is to map the locations of all registered hives in the county, so that ag commission staff can know whose hives are where. If other people are spotted handling hives, or hives are placed in a spot that isn’t mapped, law enforcement can be contacted to determine if a theft has occurred, or if the hives are stolen.

“They are trying to get into the business,” said Dave Mitchell, owner and beekeeper at Blue Ridge Honey of Ventura, about why he thinks people are stealing hives. He explained that someone paying their way in would have to spend nearly $100,000 for just the initial equipment needed, like the specialized truck, loader and trailer, “and you don’t even have any bees yet.”

Mitchell has had some hives stolen over the years, but never a major theft. He points to rules in California that require commercial beekeepers to label their boxes so they are identifiable. All Blue Ridge Honey boxes are branded with a specific number that is carved into the wood, making it easy to identify the boxes should they ever be stolen. Some of the frames that hold the honey comb inside the boxes are also tagged. While a paint mark can be simply painted over, the carved brand is hard to cover up. Another issue is that to steal hives, a person has to have at least some knowledge of beekeeping. A passerby who sees the theft in process might think a legitimate beekeeper is moving hives.

“It doesn’t happen a bunch, but I did have some bees stolen from a ranch earlier this year,” said Mitchell. He keeps several hundred

6—

— July 25, 2019

hives at locations around the county, including the Ojai Valley, Camarillo and Santa Paula. “It was the first time in many years.”

He called it a “small scale theft,” of less than a 100 hives. A police report was filed and he will be keeping an eye out for those hives. After that incident he received a call from a Ventura County Sheriff’s deputy informing Mitchell that two suspicious men were looking at a spot where some of his hives were placed. The officer

The new Liebherr hybrid electric-diesel crane arrived in July from Germany and is part of the Port of Hueneme’s plan to reduce emissions and move to decarbonizing the facility.

“Our hope is to electrify everything . . . to decarbonize it,” said Giles Pettifor, environmental manager for the Port of Hueneme.”

This crane “is the next step in building upon our track record as the greenest U.S. Port, and a signal to the community that we follow through on our promises to grow in sustainable ways,” said Jess Herrera, President of the Oxnard Harbor District.

Ports of America, one of the port managers, bought the crane for $7 million. Electric infrastructure is currently being updated to accommodate the power needed for the crane. That and other related updates are funded by a $3 million grant from the California Air Resources Board, Zero- and Near ZeroEmission Freight Facilities grant program.

Because of its size the crane arrives in several pieces. Assembly has begun, and it’s expected to be operational this fall.

From left, Dave Mitchell, volunteer Lisa Merkord, and employee Jeremy Mitchell use a Cowen inline extractor to remove honey from the combs at the Blue Ridge Honey shop in Ventura. told Mitchell the men were Russian, and told him they were “looking for wild bees.” They got in their car and left. The mention of the men being Russian was particularly interesting to Mitchell because in 2017, a Russian-Ukranian bee thief was arrested for what was called the largest hive theft in state history. Hundreds of hives valued at almost $1 million were stolen.

“It just ticks me off; I know how expensive it is to run bees,” he said regarding a large theft about two months ago near Bakersfield of several hundred hives from Arkansas. “The guy was in tears.”

Even though hive theft has always been a part of beekeeping, Mitchell explains that today there is an increasing impact due to rising costs.

“The difference now is the cost of rebuilding those hives. As a business expense, everything just keeps going up, and we are all not making that much more,” said Mitchell.

Having 100 hives stolen, a large theft, means a loss of income of about $100,000 minimum. That can be “catastrophic” to a beekeeper, said Mitchell. Climate change exacerbates the problem.

“If you know how our climate has changed . . . the drought that we just went through. Water in the creeks in the Sespe just disappeared. Now, after the rain, things are flowing again, but look at Lake Casitas, it didn’t go up diddly squat. We are nowhere close to being out of this drought. But in a year like this, with all the rain, bees do so good, we are having incredible honey production.” F

The Downtown Ventura Partner’s PBID (Property Based Improvement District) was successfully renewed Monday night at City Council. A tally of ballots from property owners resulted in a 67 percent vote in favor of the PBID, which was renewed for a 10-year term and has an expanded service area.

“This was a team effort,” stated Kevin Clerici, executive director of the Downtown Ventura Partners.

“We worked hard to listen and be responsive.”

Of 484 ballots that were mailed to property owners in the defined area, 222 were returned to the City Clerk’s office. — Michael Sullivan

ENERGY EDUCATION AT THE CALIFORNIA OIL MUSEUM

The California Oil Museum in Santa Paula has just opened a new Energy Education Lab. The lab will offer workshops, including a summer kids’ series for grades K-8, interactive science displays and activities.

“The Energy Education Lab is an extension of our education program and is part of the museum’s future expansion in including alternative forms of energy,” said Kelsey Krosskove, assistant museum director.

The lab “is an opportunity for families to explore and interact with various aspects of earth science and energy, while expanding their knowledge and curiosity in STEM-related topics.”

The Energy Education Lab is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. California Oil Museum, 1001 E. Main St., Santa Paula. Suggested donation $4. All Santa Paula museum’s offer free admission every first Sunday of the month. www. caoilmuseum.org

OJAI UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BANS RODENTICIDE

The Board of the Ojai Unified School District (OUSD) voted four to one on July 17 to immediately stop the use of rodenticide poison, including anticoagulants, on all school properties. Instead of the poisons that can work their way up the food chain into raptors and mammals frequently causing death, the district plans to repel and deter rodents on their properties and will be partnering with the Ojai Raptor Center to install owl boxes throughout the district.

“Moving to more environmentally healthy methods is a long-standing commitment at OUSD, from the ban of glyphosate use over a decade ago to the vote to ban rodenticides at this week’s school board meeting,” said Dr. Tiffany Morse, Ojai Unified School District Superintendent.— Kimberly Rivers

Not permitted County denies drilling plan

by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

F

ive years after it was filed and following two appeals, on Tuesday, July 23, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors denied an application to expand the Cabrillo Oil Field on the Oxnard Plain, and has stopped the drilling of four new oil and gas wells in an area recognized by California as a disadvantaged community. This is the first time Ventura County has denied the expansion of an existing oil field.

Supervisor Steve Bennett, District 1, made the motion to deny the project, stating that he was unable to make the legally required “findings” in order to approve the project. One of the required findings is that the project would not jeopardize public health and safety. Supervisors John Zaragoza, District 5; Linda Parks, District 2; and Bob Huber, District 4, supported Bennett’s motion. The board will have to review language in a written resolution denying the project at a future board meeting set for Sept. 24. There will be no public comment on that date.

“It should remind us all that elections matter,” said Bennett after the hearing. He was referring to the first motion at the hearing made

by Supervisor Kelly Long, District 3, to approve the project, which the board rejected 3 to 2, Long and Huber. Long was elected in 2016, Huber in 2018.

“Renaissance Petroleum has operated without any compliance issues, no violations,” said Marc Traut, owner of Renaissance Petroleum. Representatives of the oil company declined to comment following the hearing.

The oil pad is near a state-designated disadvantaged community.

The project was approved by the county in early 2017, and appealed by two local environmental organizations, Food and Water Watch and Citizens For Responsible Oil & Gas (CFROG — the organization has since changed its name to Climate First: Replacing Oil & Gas), which was heard in Sept. 2017 by the Ventura County Planning Commission.

The commission voted 3 to 1 to approve the project, with one abstention.

The original appellants filed a second appeal, which led to Tuesday’s hearing.

One of the items cited as a key reason for the appeal was the need for a full study of cumulative health impacts on the nearby residential community.

Potential negative health impacts will be “felt first and worst by lowincome communities of color,” said Dr. Robert Dodge with Physicians for Social Responsibility during public comments. Those communities will “bear disproportionate burdens associated with oil and gas . . . cumulative effects from pesticides, traffic and oil production.”

Sixty speaker cards were submitted for public comment with a strong majority asking the board to deny the project. Several employees of the oil company spoke about the impacts to their jobs if the project was not approved. The existing operations are permitted to continue until 2037.

One of the grounds of appeal submitted stated that the Planning Commission had failed to apply the correct legal standard in determining what level of environmental review is required for the project, and when the correct standard is applied, a full Environmental Impact Review would be required.

“Staff has always agreed with CFROG here,” said Jeffrey Barnes, Ventura County Counsel. He explained that it is correct that the “fair argument standard” applies to this project, meaning that “when substantial . . . facts . . . support a fair argument that a proposed project may have a significant impact, that triggers the need for more California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. Even if not ironclad that there is going to be a significant impact, if someone brings a fair argument,” then more in-depth review is needed. “So it’s a lower standard of review” than what had been previously applied, Barnes explained, “but the planning department has determined the fair argument standard has not been met, but ultimately that is up to your board to determine.”

“More jobs than people” Local firm aims to help connect employers and candidates

by Julie Madsen

U

nemployment in the nation is 3.7 percent — an all-time low in nearly 50 years. In Ventura County, the unemployment rate is even lower at 3 percent.

Express Employment Professionals, a staffing company, hopes to lower the employment rate even more. On Aug. 8, the company is hosting a hiring event to connect candidates with the right jobs for them.

This will be the second time Express Employment Professionals has held this event on National Interview Day. Aaron Mercer, vice president of business development and marketing, said that the company decided to host this event in order to attract candidates during a time when unemployment has hit some of the lowest percentages Ventura County has seen in years.

“There are more jobs than people,” Mercer said.

The event will take place from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the company’s offices in Oxnard at 2371 E. Vineyard Ave. and in Thousand Oaks at 600 Hampshire Road. Walk-ins are welcome to attend.

Mercer stressed that candidates who use Express’s services are never charged any fees to apply.

Candidates who attend the event can expect a fun and exciting atmosphere with free donuts, coffee and mugs.

Mercer described it as similar to a job fair in which candidates will have the opportunity to meet and speak with an Express associate and discuss what type of job is the right fit for them.

An associate will ask candidates various interview

questions such as what their greatest achievements or strengths are in order to gauge which job would suit their abilities the best.

Express has connections with various local businesses and has been able to provide employment opportunities to candidates in different areas such as the commercial, agriculture and industrial sectors.

“The teams at Express in Oxnard and Thousand Oaks help as many people as possible find good jobs, by helping as many clients as possible find good people,” said marketing specialist Marina Flores in a press release. “Express serves a variety of fields, including professional, finance and accounting, administrative and commercial with temporary, evaluation hire and direct hire employees.”

This event is the first step in the hiring process. After candidates run through a preliminary interview session, the company will then connect them with business owners to lock in the jobs.

Since the job market is fairly open, Mercer said that the process to connect candidates with the right job could be quick. He said that the company has been able to connect candidates with jobs in as short as a week.

Express Employment Professionals has been in operation since 2006 with the goal to “help as many people as possible find good jobs by helping as many clients as possible find good people.” The mission is to put a million people to work each year, said Mercer.

Before attending the event, candidates can visit expresspros.com/OxnardCA or expresspros.com/ThousandOaksCA to get an early start on applying.

Life, Lived | Carla “Desiree” Diana Lautman 1964-2019

C

arla “Desiree” Diana Lautman, age 55, was born on March 13, 1964, in Glendale, California, and the daughter of Joseph Lautman originally from Hungary and Wilhelmina Van Halm Lautman from Holland, both deceased. She grew up in Simi Valley, then moved to Ventura and lived there for the last 30 years of her life.

Carla is survived by four siblings, three brothers, Joseph William Lautman, Brian Mark Lautman, Dean Edward Lautman, and her sister Evelyn Johanna Harvey with her husband Nathan Harvey and their two children, Bo Warren Harvey and “Addie” Addison Katelina Harvey.

When Carla was in her youth she was extremely athletic, worked with children as a Recreation Leader, Girl Scout Leader and volunteered at the Simi Valley Senior Center. She was in team sports at Royal High School and continued running after she graduated and even completed the City of Los Angeles Marathon VIII, a 26 mile race!

Carla was a writer and photographer and spent her life learning all she could, taking courses at the colleges, online and seminars. She has received many certifications related to not only business and her employment skills but also Resident Leadership Programs and empowering her peers. She has spent many hours helping the homeless and spending time with those in need, but most of all spreading the love of Jesus and sharing her passion for the Lord.

She was President of the Resident Advisory Coun-

cil and recognized by the San Buenaventura Housing Authority. On her free time, she sewed, played the guitar and sang Praise Worship to the Lord!

Carla never met a stranger and made it a point to notice and talk to all the people she could in every adventure, even if it was just going to the store. She always had her camera with her and was ready to take pictures of everything and everyone to save the memories and bless others.

She found so much joy in gifting those she knew. Carla was a bold and flamboyant woman with a contagious laugh. Her light will only shine brighter in her body’s passing as she is with the lover of her soul. She is most likely organizing activities in her given mansion in Heaven.

A memorial service, open to all, will be Friday, July 26, 2011, at 11 a.m. at Cornerstone Community Church, 2080 Winifred, Simi Valley.

Editor’s note: Desiree would often call the VCReporter about life and her musings, or send packages to gift groovy ankle socks and peppermint taffy, all starting with a letter of good cheer that was published during Christmas 2018. When the news broke that a woman and her dog died due to smoke inhalation in the sky-rise apartment building on Palm Street in Downtown Ventura, the idea that it could be her wasn’t even a thought — her official adopted name Desiree was not used in the reports. Her brother called a month later to express the news and her absence. Her exuberant spirit is missed.

veterans UPCOMING EVENTS, AREA NONPROFITS GIVE BACK TO THOSE WILLING TO RISK THEIR LIVES

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

W

ith the military draft through the Civil War and Vietnam War, the nation’s current generation of veterans are in greater need than ever, with the post-9/11 generation serving four to 12 tours in combat because they are all voluntary. When they return, these men and women who served our country are deserving of all they’re entitled to for putting their lives on the line to protect America’s freedom.

Groups and organizations in Ventura County are particularly dedicated to helping veterans locally and beyond, with efforts including holiday parties for military families, in which children receive new toys; an overnight event that offers services to veterans who are homeless; and free services that connect the county’s 50,000 military personnel, veterans and their families with federal and state veterans affairs benefits and local recourses.

Here’s a glimpse of a few of these efforts that serve veterans in Ventura County and beyond.

VENTURA COUNTY MILITARY COLLABORATIVE

Camarillo resident Omar Navarro, who served in the Navy for more than 15 years, had missed spending Christmas with his family more than a dozen times during his duty. But in 2016, his heart filled with joy as he saw his wife and teenage boys partake in Operation Snowflake, a holiday party for families of the military in which youngsters of active and veteran service members receive new, unwrapped toys.

As he watched his boys make their selections from thousands of toys, Navarro said, “It’s like too many feelings at once.” Being away from his family for so many years during the holidays, attending the event was “kind of like a culture shock where I’m back again . . . but it’s great because I can see how happy they are.”

Operation Snowflake, which helped hundreds of military and veteran children and their families in 2018, is a signature event put on by the Ventura County Military Collaborative (VCMilC), a nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire, strengthen and support, as well as promote, the military and veteran community of Ventura County, through collaboration, programs and direct assistance.

“We are run by veterans for veterans and are the only holiday toy drive that distributes to Ventura County military and veterans,” said Kim Evans of Camarillo, founder of the VCMilC. “Our goal is to make sure any in-need military or veteran individual or family is given assistance during the holidays through Operation Snowflake.”

The VCMilC had its first meeting in November of 2011, with more than 20 hand-picked agencies that gathered at Channel Islands Air National Guard Station in Point Mugu. This meeting, which brought together the best agencies that Ventura County had to offer for military and veteran benefits and services, was inspired by Evans, the director of psychological health at the 146th Airlift Wing at the Channel Islands Air National Guard Station, who worked with Col. Marilyn Rios, Vice Wing Commander of the 146th Air National Guard, Julie Morency, director of family programs at the 146th, and a team of 146th airmen. Agency criteria, determined by Evans, then became the guideline for the future of VCMilC, in which only vetted agencies that did “good work” with service members were asked to join.

— July 25, 2019

In August of 2012, the VCMilC launched the Military and Veteran Expo, a free annual event that continues to grow every year, with more than 100 agencies showcased by 2015. This year’s expo will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 24 in Condor Hall at Oxnard College, 4000 S. Rose Ave. Event highlights include military- and veteran-related service providers, information on federal and state VA benefits, and the area’s largest veteran job fair, as well as food trucks on site. This event is being presented by Assembly member Jacqui Irwin of District 44 and the Veterans Collaborative of Ventura County operated by the Human Services Agency, Veteran Services Office.

This year’s Operation Snowflake will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 21. This annual event, designed to bring Christmas cheer to military and veteran families in need, will provide new, unwrapped toys, gift cards for groceries and gasoline, quilted stockings, veteran benefits and an afternoon with Santa Claus.

This event is designed for any man or woman in active duty, the National Guard and reservists, and veterans and their families who may be struggling during the holiday season.

“We will include senior veterans this year for the first time as we have concentrated on families in the past,” said Evans, noting that ornaments will be available with small wish lists of items requested, and community members can shop for their adopted veteran, child or family and distribute the gifts at Operation Snowflake on Dec. 21. Unwrapped toys and gift cards can also be dropped off from Nov. 1 through Dec. 14, with locations listed at www.vcmilc.org/operation-snowflake.html.

VENTURA COUNTY STAND DOWN

Larry Martinez, a homeless Navy veteran who hadn’t had an income for nearly two years at age 58, cried as he expressed his gratitude for the free teeth cleaning he received at the Ventura County Stand Down, where he also obtained free clothing, took a shower, ate free meals and received other medical care, including a visit with an optometrist.

When he was in active duty, he said he could have died, and “to be treated the way we are is horrible.” He dedicated his life to his country, he emphasized, and “my country didn’t give back to me.”

But at the Ventura County Stand Down, he was treated with the utmost respect and received unconditional love, which for him, “means a lot.”

The Ventura County Stand Down, a two-night, three-day event,

offers a range of services to veterans who are homeless, who are also welcome to bring their immediate family members. Veterans who are not homeless and active duty military are welcome to attend on Friday and/or Saturday to access the many free goods and services available, including meals and snacks, clothes, medical and dental care, and legal counseling. More than 50 outreach programs are also on site to help veterans, including the Ventura County Military Collaborative and Gold Coast Veterans Foundation. Live entertainment is provided on Friday and Saturday evenings, and homeless veterans can also spend the night.

This year’s 27th annual event will take place on July 26-28 at the California Army National Guard Armory, 1270 Arundell Ave. in Ventura. Veterans of all ages and military branches are welcome, including combat and non-combat, those who served regardless of where they live and all active military.

The event was founded by Claire Hope of Camarillo, who

This year, it will be at the California Army National Guard Armory in Ventura. ABOVE: Active military, veterans and participants hold hands in a group activity at a Stand Down event. attended a similar event in San Diego in the late 1980s. When she saw the tremendous positive impact it had on the veterans in attendance, “I was just awed by it,” she said. “I wasn’t aware of the veterans living on streets, so that was an eye opener for me — these are our veterans, these are our heroes.”

In 1992, some of Ventura County’s top leaders gathered for a meeting at the Ventura County Veterans Service Office to discuss the feasibility of establishing a stand down in Ventura County.

The results of the meeting were positive, and in just one year, the idea became a reality, with veterans from the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles invited to participate.

In 1995, the homeless population in Ventura County was estimated to be between 2,000 and 4,000, and veterans within that population were estimated at 34-40 percent. While it is difficult to count the number of homeless and determine how many are veterans, Hope noted that techniques were implemented in following years to allow for better estimates. For instance, in 2014, out of 813 unsheltered adults, 176 were identified as veterans.

For the homeless veteran in Ventura County and elsewhere, life on the streets is debilitating at best, Hope said, with them suffering from lack of food and shelter, unemployment, physical and emotional disabilities. As a result, the homeless veteran often feels completely isolated from mainstream society and unable to break out of the self-perpetuating cycle of homelessness.

And for those who do seek assistance, many are unable to access the help they need because the services required are spread out over a wide geographic area. This means homeless veterans must exert undue time and energy going from one agency to another — and frustration often results.

“Imagine how the veteran feels knowing he has given so much for his country and yet finds himself scraping for food?” Hope said. By assisting veterans who are homeless, “we realize that sometimes it takes just one small service for them to break out of the cycle … such as needing a photo identification card, a bus token, a pair of shoes to start a new job, or not having any funds to pay for their fines that compounds into a bench warrant.”

By the end of the second day of the stand down, many veterans have already begun making a tremendous transformation in their appearance and mental outlook, Hope added. “The community spirit and sense of camaraderie . . . helps the homeless veteran immensely.”

Since 2015, the Gold Coast Veterans Foundation has been assisting more than 2,000 veterans annually, and within the last

Ventura County’s County Veteran Services Office (CVSO) is staffed by VA-accredited professionals providing free services that connect the county’s 50,000 military personnel, veterans and their families with federal and state veterans affairs benefits and local recourses. This includes monthly monetary benefits, assistance with burial and bereavement, education, employment, emergency financial needs, incarceration/legal, housing and homelessness, health care, mental health care, substance abuse and more.

The motto of the CVSO is “improving veteran’s lives” and to that aim, staff connected veterans to more than $10.5 million in one-time and annualized U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs disability compensation and pension benefits in fiscal year 2017/2018, said Mike McManus, CVSO officer and a retired U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt., who also directs the Veteran Collaborative of Ventura County.

“The estimated spending impact of those benefits is over $31.5 million,” said McManus, adding that the CVSO can’t reach all military personnel and veterans in the county by itself.

To assist with this, the CVSO operates the Veteran Collaborative of Ventura County (VCVC), comprised of community representatives from local, state and federal governments, businesses with federal or state Veteran Affairs contracts, nonprofit organizations, veteran service organizations and faith-based organizations that advocate for veterans and their families.

“The collaborative helps to coordinate and access services for military personnel, veterans and their families,” McManus said.

The VCVC’s members meet monthly to network, collaborate and coordinate information to provide comprehensive services that are responsive to the community’s needs. Additionally, the VCVC helps present the annual Military and Veteran Expo and Job Fair, which gathers veteran service providers, employers, and other community-based services to provide direct access and information for veterans and their families.

The VCVC also provides emergency financial assistance, which assesses needs and facilitates access to emergency financial funds available for veterans to address various emergency needs.

GOLD COAST VETERANS FOUNDATION

three years, two board members have provided housing for 45 homeless veterans using HUD-VASH, a collaborative program between HUD and VA that combines HUD housing vouchers with VA supportive services, which is “pretty impressive,” said Ronald J. Greenwood, co-founder of the foundation along with his wife, Lisa.

“Whenever a veteran walks in, we help them with their needs, and if we can’t help them, we direct them to those who can,” said Greenwood, a Purple Heart recipient who was wounded in Vietnam. “I don’t know of any organization assisting 8,000 veterans in the last four years.”

Greenwood, who started the nonprofit organization in 2006, was severely wounded in Vietnam, and looking back, believes he probably shouldn’t have survived. After serving in the U.S. Army, he used his GI benefits to earn a law degree and was in his 50s when he finally discovered all the benefits he was entitled to, which he learned sporadically.

His idea to launch Gold Coast occurred after he toured a veterans’ center in Los Alamitos. Although he was impressed, he noticed that the center was housed on base, which cut off access to men and women after they left the military.

In 2013, Gold Coast opened Veterans Connection in Camarillo, which serves as a one-stop shop to provide veterans in Ventura County and the surrounding area a single site to access numerous services, including medical and disability claims, restorative and wellness programs (including PTSD and psychological counseling), employment and job counseling and support for homeless veterans. The Veterans Connection — which consists of volunteers, donors and other local veteran service providers — collaborates with various government and nonprofit organizations, including the Ventura County Veterans Services Office, the California Department of Veterans Affairs and the Ventura County Veterans Court.

Above all, the Gold Coast Veterans Foundation is dedicated to “serving those who served us,” believing that making a difference starts with helping those close to home, and that the community must do its part to ensure the safety and well-being of the local veteran population and its families.

Greenwood and his wife served on the foundation’s board until January of 2019, and are now both retired, with Greenwood named Chair Emeritus. Now at the helm is Chairman Dennis Murphy, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, who “is a good guy,” Greenwood said, adding, “I feel confidence with him as the new chair.”

THE DEVIL’S WORK

An interview with journalist Ivor Davis, who covered the trial of the Manson Family

BY DAVID COMDEN

O

ver a 60-year career, Ivor Davis has seen and written about things most people only dream about: Touring with The Beatles in 1964, interviewing hundreds of celebrities and covering news stories for a variety of publications worldwide. But one story has left an indelible mark: his coverage of the notorious Manson Family murders.

The crimes, which happened 50 years ago on Aug. 8 and 9, 1969, were among the most brutal in American history. The trials of Charles Manson and his acolytes was a public spectacle, the likes of which had never been seen before . . . and the whole world was watching.

Davis, who lives in Ventura, covered the story for Britain’s Daily Express and wrote the first book ever about these crimes: Five to Die: The Book That Helped Convict Manson, which was released in 1970.

Now, five decades later, Davis has just finished a new book: Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder. The VCReporter sat down with him to discuss the crimes, the courtroom drama and his recollections from a half century ago.

Ivor Continued from Page 11

VCReporter: Give us a quick setup of what occurred on those two nights in August, 1969.

Ivor Davis: Very simply, Charles Manson sent out Tex Watson and the girls to Cielo Drive. I don’t think Manson knew (or if he knew she wasn’t the target) that Sharon Tate lived there.

He decided that he wanted to orchestrate some crimes to cover up and look like the kind of crimes that his friend Bobby Beausoleil was in jail for and was facing possibly the death penalty.

And he thought if he created other killings with a similar modus operandi, then the cops would say, “Hey, guess what, poor Bobby Beausoleil who was in jail for murder, couldn’t have done it because there were two more nights of murders that were absolutely copycat…they’re similar murders, so Bobby you can go home now.”

Take us through the first night, Aug. 8, 1969

The first night Linda Kasabian, a young girl who’d been in the Manson family for one month, was told by Manson to drive Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Tex Watson to the home up Benedict Canyon. Watson knew where the Cielo Drive home was, knew the address, he’d been there and had stayed overnight as a guest there. Not a guest of former owner [record producer] Terry Melcher but of Melcher’s recording friends.

Tex went to the house and the girls came with him. They cut the telephone lines. They climbed over the fence. I mean, one thing that struck me was that they were all barefooted. I mean, they didn’t wear shoes and they walked into the house and Wojciech Frykowski and Abigail Folger, his girlfriend, the coffee heiress, said, “Hi, who are you?” to Tex Watson and Watson said that immortal line, “I’m the devil here to do the devil’s work.”

And for a moment they didn’t believe they were going to be killed but then they were murdered brutally. They were stabbed dozens of times. Everybody in the house — Sharon Tate, 8 months pregnant, expecting a baby in two weeks — she was with Jay Sebring, her hairdresser and ex-boyfriend, and they went around, Atkins, Krenwinkel and Watkins, just stabbed them all viciously, chased them onto the lawn, they had no mercy for them.

Minutes before that, a young man named Steven Parent happened to be visiting somebody in the adjacent guest house. He was about to leave when Tex Watson saw him, went to the car, and blasted him with four bullets. Poor guy didn’t know what hit him; wrong place, wrong time.

And then when they finished and they did their dirty work and everybody had been stabbed multiple times, they jumped in the car, took off their dirty clothing, drove to the nearest canyon and threw their clothing over the railing. They also stopped at a neighbor’s house and used the hose to wash down then went back to [Spahn Ranch]. Charlie asked how did it go, and Tex said “we left messages.” They painted in the blood of the victims.

They painted “Helter Skelter” and all those kinds of messages that Manson said to leave to show that you’ve been there. And they did.

They were on drugs. Linda Kasabian, who drove, never went into the house but she saw and heard what happened. She stayed most of the time with the car and that’s why when everybody was arrested, Linda Kasabian was able to get immunity, because she didn’t take part in any of the actual killings.

A Day in Court: March 3, 1971

by David Comden

S

ometimes I’m reminded just how small the world is. Forty-eight years ago, I attended one day of the penalty phase of the Manson murder trial in downtown Los Angeles. Being all of 11 years old, I was introduced to a public spectacle unlike any that had come before it. And in that room was reporter and author Ivor Davis, who covered the trial for over 11 months. Little did we know that we would reminisce about that day, half a century later.

My friend Brian’s father, Dr. Keith Ditman, was testifying about the effects of LSD. He was an expert on the subject and asked us if we wanted to ditch school for the day to attend the trial. We quickly said yes.

Walking up to the doors of the courthouse, we saw a group of young women sitting around a streetlamp. I thought this was unusual and later learned that these Manson Family members had held camp there each day throughout the trial.

After passing through unusually tight security (which required me to remove the Frye boots I was wearing) we entered the courtroom. When the three female defendants entered, they looked around to see who was present. My friend Brian, who had long blonde hair, and I were distinctly different from anyone else in the room. The girls smiled at us and waved.

I sat next to a court artist, who was there because cameras were not allowed, and marveled at how fast and precise his pencil captured the events of the day. I recall that Charles Manson stood up several times and shouted at the judge.

What he said is lost to me, but I do remember the judge, having had enough, admonishing Manson to sit down and behave — or else. He didn’t comply, and the judge threw Manson out of the courtroom. We next saw him on a small TV monitor as he sat in a room where he could watch but not interrupt the proceedings any further.

Ditman was being questioned by Maxwell Keith, Leslie Van Houten’s defense attorney. Keith preceded his questioning of the psychiatrist with a hypothetical question.

“Let’s assume,” he said, “that she [Miss Van Houten] went to a ranch where she met a small bearded man [Manson] who was ‘intelligent, articulate, persuasive and very much a philosopher,’ and assume that he told his followers that ‘killing is not wrong, to never be afraid of death.’ And assume that she was profoundly influenced by his views.”

After posing the question, Keith continued, “Having in your mind all these assumed facts and basing your opinion on reasonable medical probability, can you say whether Manson’s assumed influence and Leslie’s use of drugs led to her participation in murder?”

“Yes,” Ditman answered. “Being under the influence of the drug at the time would have a marked and profound effect on one’s behavior, and such things could occur.”

It’s a day that I will never forget.

decorating in my daughter’s house and we were talking about crime and somehow the conversation came up. And I asked them about Manson and they hadn’t a clue who he was. One of them said, “He’s the guy that poisoned everybody.” And I said “No, that’s Jim Jones.” The other one said, “Oh no, he’s a heroic guy, kind of like Che Guevara. He said he was out to clean the air — his mission in life was to have a clean environment, clean water.”

They knew nothing about the murders and if there are 28-30 year olds out there who don’t know the havoc that Manson did, well, I said, I’m going to write another book.

Tell us how you became involved in covering this crime.

I became involved when I saw that five people had been murdered in Beverly Hills and I went over to the house in the canyon and found press madness outside the gate. By pure coincidence, a soccer-playing friend of mine lived two doors away, so I went to the house and he told me who had lived nearby. And from that day onwards I followed the crime. The police didn’t’ solve the crime for four months.

How was the crime solved?

Tell us about the second night.

Second night: Manson decided that they’d done a rather botched job. They’d made a mess of it, and he said “I’m gonna take you out and show you how you’re supposed to do it.” And, amazingly enough, they drove around because Manson wasn’t sure where they were going to go. They drove to Pasadena, they looked into a minister’s house and they saw a child so they drove away. They ended up on Waverly Drive in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles because Manson had been to parties two doors away many times. . . . Harold True, a UCLA student who befriended Manson, had parties there.

Manson went into the house. He told Rosemary and Leno LaBianca, “I won’t hurt you.” He then tied them up, went outside and told Watson, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel . . . to go into the house and finish them off. And they did. And there were stabbings, brutally — they carved messages into Leno’s stomach — I mean, it was horrible. And they also painted “Helter Skelter” on the refrigerator door but they spelled it with a H-e-a — incorrectly, so they’re obviously guilty

of bad spelling.

Why did you choose to write another book about this subject?

Well, I was very familiar with the case from day one. And I am a bit of an expert on it because I’ve lived it. I know and have interviewed many of the principals. But not long ago I was in Seattle and a couple of young men came in to do some

Pure, unadulterated luck. One of the killers, Susan Atkins, was in prison — in jail at the Sybil Brand Institute in downtown Los Angeles. She was in jail not for the murder of Sharon Tate, but for the murder of Gary Hinman. Hinman was a musician who lived in Topanga Canyon and he was murdered on July 27, 1969. Murdered, tortured . . . brutally done, slogans painted on his wall. She was implicated in that murder with a guy called Robert Beausoleil. They were sent there by Charles Manson.

In jail, Susan Atkins started bragging; she started boasting to her cellmates, telling them about killing Sharon Tate. The cellmates never believed her but the story was so credible that after two weeks of bragging, they went to the prison authorities and said “hey, our cellmate says she’s guilty of the Sharon Tate murders.”

The cops wouldn’t listen to her until weeks later they went out, interviewed Susan Atkins and she spilled her guts, and the cops heard it all. About two weeks later, they announced that they’d cracked the case.

What physical evidence had the local media found?

This was embarrassing for the police because Al Wiman, a young reporter for ABC Television in LA, thought, “If I was a killer, where would I dump my murder clothing, where’s the nearest place?”

So he got into his car, went to Cielo Drive, drove about half a mile away and as soon as he could pull over in the canyon, he pulled over. He looked down and, lo and behold, there was a bunch of bloody clothing down in the canyon. Of course he knew what he’d seen, he called the cops, the embarrassed police showed up and said, “hey this is the murder clothing.”

It was said before the verdict that this was an unwinnable case. Why is that?

Well, it was unwinnable because Manson was not a participant in the actual murders. He was not at the Cielo DriveSharon Tate house on the night of the killings. He went to the LaBianca house on the second night of the killings but he left — he didn’t participate in the actual murders. And, the cops were absolutely amazed, they didn’t have a case. Bugliosi was wandering and fishing around for a motive.

In the State of California, if you can prove a person was involved in the conspiracy of a murderous act, even if they didn’t wield a knife or pull the trigger, they can be found guilty of murder . . . and that’s what Bugliosi did with his incredible thesis on why Manson did it, which was “Beatles lyrics made me do it.”

Tell us about Manson’s music and connections in the business.

He was a musician. He learned to play in jail because Charles Manson was a child of the prison system. Most of his life as a young man, as a child, he was in jail, he was behind bars. He learned to play the guitar. He loved the Beatles music and he was so . . . some said he was a brilliant musician, some said he was an average musician. So he desperately wanted to become famous and somebody said that he wanted to be more famous than the Beatles. So that was the background to Manson’s music ambitions.

And while he was living at the Spahn Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, he was able to entice a guy named Terry Melcher, the son of Doris Day, to come and hear him perform. Now, I should say, he’d met Melcher through another famous musician, Dennis Wilson, the drummer of the Beach Boys, who

was a real druggie, a crazy man and a good musician who met Manson and invited Manson to stay at his mansion on Sunset Boulevard with the whole Manson Clan . . . Manson and his girls moved into Dennis Wilson’s house.

So, Charlie Manson was making connections in the music biz: Dennis Wilson who introduced him to some of the Beach Boys, who introduced him to Terry Melcher — and that was Manson’s ambition, to be a recording star.

How do you think Charles Manson was able to convince all these people that became his “family” to do the things they did?

Charles Manson was a survivor of the prison system and he was a shrewd, canny psychopath who was a narcissist and all the things that go into a manipulation of people. And he ended up having these young, most of them runaway girls who had family problems and he was able to talk them into doing what he wanted them to. I mean, very cleverly, a brainwasher. And of course what helped is that he handed out drugs like candy, and the combination of that and his mesmerizing skills — he was good at it, he was very clever. I mean, he studied all sorts of books when he was in jail — just a ton of stuff. And he was a master manipulator. And most of the girls wanted to hear what he had to say and they swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

What facts of the case that are not well known might we find interesting?

Well, I touched upon one of the items. In my opinion, Vincent Bugliosi prosecuted successfully and convinced a jury that Charles Manson was guilty of these murders, and the reason he did the murders was to trigger a black and white revolution that he believed the Beatles predicted in their White Album songs like “Helter Skelter” and “Piggies” and “Revolution.” He thought they were sending him messages and he got this to be believed by his followers.

But the true reason — the true reason why Manson sent his people out to kill — was to get his buddy Bobby Beausoleil off the hook for the murder of Gary Hinman. I honestly believe that.

But the point is, Vincent Bugliosi wasn’t going to run with that because that was a tough one to prove, so he went with the theory of “the Beatles made me do it” . . . [M]embers of the Manson family said Charlie did tell us there was a revolution with blood going to flow in the streets of America. They believed it and so did the jury.

How did Manson and this story touch Ventura County?

Well, interestingly enough, the first time that Manson was arrested in California was in Ventura County. Charlie Manson was driving through Ventura County . . . in his famous bus . . . And for whatever reason he ran it off the road near Point Mugu in the Port Hueneme area and so they were stuck, they were trapped in that area one night and somebody complained to the sheriff’s department that there were about 20 young women running around naked with babies on the beach.

The sheriff came along and arrested them for vagrancy. . . . For the first time Manson got this mugshot taken in Ventura County, a year before the murders. They checked it out, the babies were given back, the bus was given back, and Manson went on his notso-merry way.

Fifty years later, what do you think society has learned or how has it changed?

Well, I think today people are much more cautious. I mean, it seems a silly thing to say cautious. Back in the ’60s security was a word nobody knew. I mean, the only security I can remember is the Bel Air Patrol. . . . People could walk into people’s houses, they didn’t have sophisticated security. You actually gave people rides in your car — hitchhiking was fairly popular. I don’t think it happens much today.

And it was a whole different free-spirit, peace-and-love, California-surf time . . . and today, unfortunately — and maybe we live more carefully — but we live with our doors locked most of the time and burglar alarms and we can be in Timbuktu and we can see what’s happening in our neighborhood from our cellphone.

Times have changed.

Is it possible that these events led to the end of the 1960s era of love?

Oh, it was. It was. It was. It was the end of the era of love and peace in 1969, the ’60s, which was an open society. I mean, you were young but you remember, and it was a complete — I mean it — not only that but when the murders took place, the whole city was terrified because they said people living in safe neighborhoods are no longer safe. It had become a myth. You know, it was an illusion that was shattered, destroyed by Manson and the gang.

Who else is coming to the fair?

Hope, healing and the hits Melissa Etheridge brings new material and old favorites to the Ventura County Fair on Aug. 2

by Dave Gil de Rubio for Last Word Features

T

he last time Melissa Etheridge was in a recording studio was for the 2016 collection Memphis Rock and Soul, a collection of Stax/ Volt-inspired covers that paid homage to a number of different soul artists, including William Bell, The Staples Singers and Otis Redding.

The 2016 presidential election and much of what happened in its aftermath proved to be the kind of shock to the system that immediately sent Etheridge into the studio. The result is the recently released The Medicine Show, the 15th studio album by the Kansas native.

“I started thinking about this new album in 2016 when I was sure that we were going to have this great new female president. Where we all went at the end of 2016 really had an effect on me. I realized that now it was about inspiring because this was depressing. And it’s times like this where I know music and art can do so much,” she explained in a mid-March phone interview.

“I decided to mirror this and use some of these instances [for creative fuel]. So, all of 2017, I got some notebooks and started writing things down and picking up pictures and thoughts and putting a notebook of inspiration together. I knew that this next album was going to be about this time because 20 years from now, you’ll be able to look at this album and see that it’s a microcosm of 2018. I have no desire to preach to anybody. But I do want to reach into the hearts and minds of people and really give hope and find a way to inspire through this.”

The 11 songs Etheridge recorded throughout 2017 and early 2018

found her pulling from current events to paint a picture of what this country was going through in this day and age. “This Human Chain” offers hope for healing, while “Shaking” finds the heartland rocker addressing the inner turmoil of anxiety. Health and wellness are at the core of the album, be it the psychological or physiological. It gets readily addressed via “Here Comes the Pain,” which focuses on opioid addiction, and album-closer “The Last Hello,” which was informed by the horrific Parkland School shootings.

“I was actually in the studio [when Parkland happened]. It all really depressed me but the next day when I saw those kids — I saw Emma González and David Hogg get up and speak — for me, there was the shining light we should follow,” Etheridge recalled. “So I put my mind and heart in that place of a survivor and started doing a little research.

There are a lot of people that have died in school shooting, but there are 150,000 people who have survived school shootings. When I start thinking of all those people that have seen this horrific thing and lost their friends, it’s as simple as trying to take this huge issue and place it in the very small fact of someone wishing they could see their friend.

So that’s where I came from with ‘The Last Hello.’ ” And as someone who has been cancer free for 15 years, the role of medicinal marijuana has shaped her worldview regarding wellness and yielded the aforementioned “Here Comes the Pain.”

“I understand [marijuana] as medicine and I’ve been an advocate for it for 15 years. I’ve seen our attitudes towards it change and I’m See Melissa Page 27

elissa Etheridge will certainly be a highlight of the 2019 Ventura County Fair, but she won’t be the only big name headlining at the Grandstand Arena.

Styx kicks things off on opening night, Wednesday, July 31, at 7:30 p.m., while Martina McBride brings her country hits on Thursday night, Aug. 1.

Saturday, Aug. 3, features a triple-header of funk, soul and R&B with the Ohio Players, The Emotions and Evelyn “Champagne” King. Latin music takes center stage during an afternoon concert on Sunday, Aug. 4, at 3 p.m. with Banda Carnaval, Luis Coronel and Cuarto de Milla.

Start your week off with indie rockers X Ambassadors on Monday, Aug. 5, at 7:30 p.m. Fans of the oldies won’t want to miss Tommy James and the Shondells on Tuesday, Aug. 6, at 1 p.m. Love country? Stick around for Brothers Osborne at 7:30 p.m. The rest of the week is devoted to rock, with Daughtry on Wednesday, Aug. 7, George Thorogood on Thursday, Aug. 8, and Collective Soul on Friday, Aug. 9 — all at 7:30 p.m.

Friday’s concert ends the musical entertainment at the Grandstand Arena (but not the fun: The PRCA Rodeo takes over during the fair’s final days Aug. 10-11), but you can usually catch some fantastic local acts on the fair’s smaller stages. So get on out to the fair to enjoy some great tunes in between corn dogs and pig racing!

I found what I was looking for at Ventura’s La Parrilla 1117 N. Ventura Ave. Ventura Yucatan Mexican Food located in the Ashwood Plaza.

805-653-8052 La Parrilla has been open for five years, hoping to introduce Ventura County to a different taste of Mexican food — one that is authentic to Mexico’s Yucatan PenOno Kabab insula. The Lopez family has their roots in this part of Mexico, and it is displayed proudly with art and carvings on the seats.

The atmosphere itself was peaceful and I felt immersed in the Yucatan culture. Beautiful décor painted the walls as a soccer match played on the TV. I was greeted by a friendly face — one of the Lopez sons — and was told that I could sit anywhere I’d like.

I decided to keep it basic for lunch this time, so my friend and I ordered a cheese quesadilla to start. It came out quickly and hot, seemingly stuffed to the max with cheese. It was delicious but a little hard to eat with oil and cheese dripping down my fingers. We didn’t mind, though, because it was too good to resist.

Keeping in theme with my craving for a classic Mexican meal, I ordered the taco and enchilada lunch combo with a crispy chicken taco and a chicken enchilada. The taco was everything you’d expect. The juicy shredded chicken, cheese, lettuce and pico de gallo fit together nicely in the crispy shell. The enchilada, on the other hand, was a little different than expected: on top was melted cheese and within the soft shell was shredded chicken. What would’ve made the dish even better would have been the addition of sauce.

The combo also came with a side of refried beans and rice. The sides were a little too lackluster in taste and flavor for me but complimented the overall combo.

I tended to shovel the beans, rice and enchilada in one bite to add flavor.

One of the most exciting parts about La Parrilla is that while the food is low cost, the quality isn’t. Our lunch totaled about $29, which included the starter and two entrees. In general, starters average $10-15 and dinner entrees are around $15. For the quality and size of the portions you’re getting, I think the price is just right.

My lunch at La Parrilla was a solid experience of classic Mexican cuisine. The standout of the lunch was the crispy chicken taco — it was a good balance of tradition and La Parrilla’s twist of flavor that I haven’t had before.

My only regret was that I didn’t check out some of the Yucatan specialty food items, such as the Enchilada Yucatan. Next time, I’ll be sure to step out of my comfort zone. The Lopez family recently opened DV’s Mexican Grill just down the street on Telegraph Road, which I hope to visit next.

Lunch at La Parrilla was just what I needed to feel back at home in Southern California, one chip at a time. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Bilk And Honey

I’

m a 27-year-old guy. I’m short, and honestly, I’m not that physically attractive. I am nice, funny, and on the fast track in my career.

My friends say bluntly that the more money I make the more women will be interested in me. I’m sure that’s true, but I’m interested in falling in love, not just finding a gold digger.

Advice?

Ambitious It would be nice if there were an easy way to identify the gold diggers — like if they showed up for dates carrying a giant golden shovel instead of a handbag they got on sale at Marshalls.

The thing is, a man’s earning power has an effect on kind, loving, generous women, too, to the point that Captain America hunko Chris

by amy alkon Evans would likely see a major dive in his sex appeal if he were more, um, Captain Coat Hanger — earning just enough to sleep on a futon in his friend’s walk-in closet.

Guys sneer that women are shallow and terrible for caring about how much money men have, while many men would be just fine with dating a starving artist — a seriously hot starving artist, that is.

There’s some history — evolutionary history — that explains the looks versus income difference in the sexes’ mating priorities. Ancestral women could get stuck with some bigtime costs from having sex: possibly going around pregnant for 9 months (with all the fun of digging for edible roots in between hurling from morning sickness) and then having a kid to drag around and feed. Ancestral men, however, could choose to put way less into in the reproducing thing — just dispensing with a teaspoonful of sperm and maybe a parting grunt or two.

Men, in turn, evolved to prioritize hotness when seeking mates — features like youth and an hourglass figure that suggest a particular lady would be a healthy, fertile candidate for passing on their genes. And while partner-seeking ladies of course

appreciate a nice view, biologists Guanlin Wang and John Speakman write that women evolved to be more “sensitive to resources that can be invested (in) themselves and their offspring” — as in whether a particular dude could bring home the bison or whatever.

Wang, Speakman, and their colleagues explored the impact of “resources” — that is, a person’s economic status — on their phys-

1 to 9.)

Next, the researchers randomly assigned salary numbers to the body pix. They brought participants back — at least a week later — and again had them rate the attractiveness of the figures, but this time given the salary paired with each bod.

Upon tabulating their results, they found a major sex difference in how “responsive” the attractiveness ratings were to an increase in salary. If a man’s salary increases by a factor of 10 — if his salary becomes 10 times greater — he goes up about 2 points (1.92 on average) on their 1-to-9 attractiveness scale. So, for example, a salary of $50,000 x 10 — $500,000 — gets a guy 2 points higher in hotness.

Meanwhile, in bummerific news for female honchos, for a woman to achieve that two-point hottitude bump, her salary would need to be multiplied by 10,000. In other words, a woman making $50K would have to make $500 million to be hotter in a man’s eyes. (No problem … right, ladies? Just get yourself promoted from legal secretary to international drug lord.)

The researchers note that because men are “largely insensitive to cues indicating resources” in

Guys sneer that women are shallow and terrible for caring about how much money men have, while many men would be just fine with dating a starving artist — a seriously hot starving artist, that is. ical appeal to the opposite sex.

They showed research participants in China, the U.S., the U.K., and Lithuania a stack of cards with images of silhouetted bodies of the opposite sex with varying levels of attractiveness and had them rank the images from most attractive to least attractive. (The researchers converted the rankings to a scale of

women, women have to make themselves “physically more attractive” to improve their mating prospects.

Men, however, “can offset poor physical attractiveness, or further enhance existing good looks, by demonstrating their large levels of resources.”

This does draw the gold diggers, but again, a woman doesn’t have to be a gold digger to be attracted to a man with money. To protect yourself from those who only care about the money, look for “inner beauty,” or what everybody’s grandpa calls “character.” Get to know her friends and family. And get to know who she is over time and across situations.

There are clever sociopaths who keep up appearances even when tested, but over time, they tend to reveal their true selves in small ways.

By weeding out the rotten apples, you make space for a woman who sincerely cares about you — and can’t help but find you attractive in the right light, such as the recessed spot♦ lights on your Gulfstream jet.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

After analyzing unusual animal behavior, magnetic fluctuations, outbreaks of mayhem on Twitter, and the position of the moon, a psychic has foretold that a moderate earthquake will rumble through the St. Louis, Missouri area in the coming weeks. I don’t agree with her prophecy. But I have a prediction of my own. Using data about how cosmic forces are conspiring to amuse and titillate your rapture chakra, I predict a major lovequake for many Aries between now and August 20. I suggest you start preparing immediately. How? Brainstorm about adventures and breakthroughs that will boost exciting togetherness. Get yourself in the frame of mind to seek out collaborative catharses that evoke both sensory delights and spiritual insights.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

“Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are,” wrote Taurus philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. You could use that idea to achieve a finer grade of peace and grace in the coming weeks. The navel-gazing phase of your yearly cycle has begun, which means you’ll be in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms if you get to know yourself much better. One of the best ways to do that is to analyze what you pay most attention to. Another excellent way is to expand and refine and tenderize your feelings for what you pay most attention to.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano wrote that in Havana, people refer to their friends as mi sangre, my blood, or mi tierra, my country. In Caracas, he reported, a friend might be called mi llave, my key, or mi pana, my bread. Since you are in the allianceboosting phase of your cycle, Gemini, I trust that you

26 —

— July 25, 2019

by rob brezsny

will find good reasons to think of your comrades as your blood, your country, your key, or your bread. It’s a favorable time for you to get closer, more personal, and more intimate. The affectionate depths are calling to you.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Your emotional intelligence is so strong right now that I bet you could alleviate the pain of a loved one even as you soothe a long-running ache of your own. You’re so spiritually alluring, I suspect you could arouse the sacred yearning of a guru, saint, or bodhisattva. You’re so interesting, someone might write a poem or story about you. You’re so overflowing with a lust for life that you might lift people out of their ruts just by being in their presence. You’re so smart you could come up with at least a partial solution to a riddle whose solution has evaded you for a long time.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

The Queen of North America and Europe called me on the phone. At least that’s how she identified herself. “I have a message for your Leo readers,” she told me. “Why Leo?” I asked. “Because I’m a Leo myself,” she replied, “and I know what my tribe needs to know right now.” I said, “OK. Give it to me.”

“Tell Leos to always keep in mind the difference between healthy pride and debilitating hubris,” she said. “Tell them to be dazzlingly and daringly competent without becoming bossy and egomaniacal.

They should disappear their arrogance but nourish their mandate to express leadership and serve as a role model. Be shiny and bright but not glaring and blinding. Be irresistible but not envy-inducing.”

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Congrats, Virgo! You are beginning the denouement

of your yearly cycle. Anything you do to resolve lingering conflicts and finish up old business will yield fertile rewards. Fate will conspire benevolently in your behalf as you bid final goodbyes to the influences you’ll be smart not to drag along with you into the new cycle that will begin in a few weeks. To inspire your holy work, I give you this poem by Virgo poet Charles Wright: “Knot by knot I untie myself from the past / And let it rise away from me like a balloon. / What a small thing it becomes. / What a bright tweak at the vanishing point, blue on blue.”

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

I predict that between now and the end of the year, a Libran genetic engineer will create a new species of animal called a dat. A cross between a cat and a dog, it will have the grace, independence, and vigilance of a Persian cat and the geniality, loyalty, and ebullient strength of a golden retriever. Its stalking skills will synthesize the cat’s and dog’s different styles of hunting. I also predict that in the coming months, you will achieve greater harmony between the cat and dog aspects of your own nature, thereby acquiring some of the hybrid talents of the dat.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Scorpio poet Marianne Moore (1887–1972) won the Pulitzer Prize and several other prestigious awards.

She was a rare poet who became a celebrity. That’s one of the reasons why the Ford car company asked her to dream up interesting names for a new model they were manufacturing. Alas, Ford decided the 43 possibilities she presented were too poetic, and rejected all of them. But some of Moore’s names are apt descriptors for the roles you could and should play in the phase you’re beginning, so I’m offering them for your use. Here they are: 1. Anticipator. 2.

The Impeccable. 3. Tonnere Alifère (French term

for “winged thunder”). 4. Tir á l’arc (French term for “bull’s eye”). 5. Regina-Rex (Latin terms for “queen” and “king”).

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

It’s conceivable that in one of your past lives you were a pioneer who made the rough 2,170-mile migration via wagon train from Missouri to Oregon in the 1830s. Or maybe you were a sailor who accompanied the Viking Leif Eriksson in his travels to the New World five hundred years before Columbus.

Is it possible you were part of the team assembled

by Italian diplomat Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, who journeyed from Rome to Mongolia in the thirteenth century? Here’s why I’m entertaining these thoughts, Sagittarius: I suspect that a similar itch to ramble and explore and seek adventure may rise up in you during the coming weeks. I won’t be surprised if you consider making a foray to the edge of your known world.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

When the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago, the crocodiles didn’t. They were around for 135 million years before that era, and are still here now. Why? “They are extremely tough and robust,” says croc expert James Perran Ross. Their immune systems “are just incredible.” Maybe best of all, they “learn quickly and adapt to changes in their situation.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I’m naming the crocodile as your creature teacher for the coming weeks. I suspect you will be able to call on a comparable version of their will to thrive. (Read more about crocs: tinyurl.com/ToughAndRobust.)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“My only hope is that one day I can love myself as much as I love you.” Poet Mariah Gordon-Dyke

wrote that to a lover, and now I’m offering it to you as you begin your Season of Self-Love. You’ve passed through other Seasons of Self-Love in the past, but none of them has ever had such rich potential to deepen and ripen your self-love. I bet you’ll discover new secrets about how to love yourself with the same intensity you have loved your most treasured allies.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

“Poems can bring comfort,” writes Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield. “They let us know . . . that we are not alone — but they also unseat us and make us more susceptible, larger, elastic. They foment revolutions of awareness and allow the complex, uncertain, actual world to enter.” According to my understanding of upcoming astrological omens, Pisces, life itself will soon be like the poems Hirshfield describes: unruly yet comforting; a source of solace but also a catalyst for transformation; bringing you healing and support but also asking you to rise up and reinvent yourself. Sounds like fun! ♦ Homework: What’s the most amazing feat you ever pulled off? What will you do for your next amazing feat? Truthrooster@gmail.com.

very happy with where it’s going. I’m in the business — we’re very close to launching Etheridge Farms very soon. It’s a very crazy time here with a lot of regulations and things like that,” she said. “I think cannabis is just a part of an overall new wellness/health paradigm that’s really changing. People are seeing that the opioids being prescribed not only stop pain, but they stop life. People are finally looking for something else, knowing there’s something else. We’re all starting to look to our own bodies and our own responsibility of how to make life vibrant and how to make health a big part of it. Health can be sexy, and that’s where I’m at right now.”

Etheridge has toured quite a bit this year — with her most recent show bringing her to the Ventura County Fair — only stopping long enough to pen some songs for an upcoming Broadway production based on the 1988 coming-of-age film Mystic Pizza. As someone who loves to play live, the 58-year-old singer-songwriter is always cognizant of making sure her fans come first.

“I’ve had 30 wonderful years of putting together the perfect set list. I now have interchangeable songs and a set of hit songs that we do every night and love to do. I am so grateful to start ‘Come To My Window’ and hear everyone singing at the top of their lungs. So every show that you’re going to come see me, you’re going to hear the hits,” she said. “You’re going to hear a couple of deep album tracks and this time out, you’re going to hear a few of the new songs. Then we will watch the new album, see how it sells and keep the songs that they latch on to — the ones they love and the ones that they request. I really, really watch, because it’s about that experience. It’s not about me. I have fun playing whatever, so the more fun the audiences are having, the more fun I’m having. I want a show where people are having a good time.”

 In Memoriam

Les K. Johnson

Sept. 4, 1943-July 8, 2019 Everything about Les Johnson was BIG: his size; his heart; his hands; his appetite; his brain; his opinions; his love; his family; his circle of friends; his loyalty; his pride; his conversations; and his presence. Les K. Johnson was born September 4th, 1943 in Vancouver Canada and left this world on July 8th, 2019. Les was happily married to his sweetheart Lin Johnson (Linda Duncan) for over 56 years. They met at the Magnolia Movie Theatre in North Hollywood where Lin was an Usher when they were 15 years old. Together they had 4 children: Craig Johnson; Chris Johnson (Kerri Michael); Curt Johnson; and Kim Johnson-Custer (Bruce Custer). They also have many grandchildren all of whom were the apple of his eye and the topics of most of Less’ conversations. They were: Teagen, Tanner, Emma, Sawyer, Jessica, Kyle, Brittany, Cade, Nathan, Kate, and Beau. Les and Lin also opened their open to many other kids where their relationships became nothing “Les” than special. Rodney Rodriguez was a pseudo son whom Les also loved. Les was a computer programmer with JPL for many years and began his computer career with Security Pacific Bank in the mid 1960’s.

He spent most of his years residing in Shadow Hills, California but moved to the small beach town of Ventura in 2004 where he lived out his days looking over the ocean with the love his life by his side. Les was unforgettable and loved by many. He was loved by his family who will hold him close to their hearts forever. He often said; “Life is the Book; Time is the Teacher; We know the Author and it's a Required Course.”

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 18-0721-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re-

flected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
