OPINION Editorial

Don’t just react, plan It’s pretty much impossible to avoid news about the ongoing crisis of asylumseekers from Central and South America being separated from their young children at the Texas border. If there is one thing we all know, it’s that this is not right. But there are a few things to consider when addressing the injustice. First, while there is much frustration and outcry over this issue, the president, the Department of Justice and congressional leaders who can make changes don’t seem to be interested in reversing the policy, at least not for now. Helplessness can make people feel weak and angry, but this particular policy problem seems to be doing a great job at keeping people preoccupied with something that is out of their hands. The looming question is, what can be done? Just as there was an outpouring of support for the ACLU when Trump enacted the travel ban last year, a fundraiser is currently underway for the Texas-based Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), which serves immigrants and refugees by providing immigration-related legal services, advocacy and opportunities for educational and social support. It’s vital to stay focused on what can be done to help these families, not just argue over what a cruel policy it is. Second, everyone who dislikes President Donald Trump is high-strung from the last year and a half of documentable chaos emanating from the White House. The unfortunate reality is, whatever bad policies may have occurred under President Barack Obama seem to have gotten swept under the rug as the country became more polarized. CNN’s Jake

Tapper last week, for example, asked U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, who recently authorized legislation to prevent the separation of families seeking asylum at the border, about how immigrants were treated under Obama. Her response: “I don’t believe that it was nearly to the extent that it is today. And candidly, I didn’t really know enough about it at that time to focus on it.” The question is, why did this fail to be as important an issue under Obama as it is under Trump? Third, for all the energy and outrage over what’s happening at the border, there are equally troubling problems with America’s own citizens, from addiction and suicidal tendencies to joblessness, poverty and more. And in reality, much of the division and anxiety in this country, from depression to racism and bigotry to the #metoo movement in the workforce, seems to boil down to economics and the lack of access to resources and being able to secure stable or better incomes. Perhaps the main reason for angst in this country over undocumented immigrants is the lower economic class struggling to keep up with the demands of this society and feeling that these immigrants will only contribute to further thinning-out opportunities. Whether that is true or not, the perception is a very real one. In the end, there seems to be a lot of value in remaining calm as Trump continues to pitch curve balls to the public. When it comes to politics and bad policy, the best course of action seems to be in what can be done to help those in need, not just fight, argue and pontificate about how obviously unjust something is. Find the path that works. Don’t just complain about the hurdles in the road.

word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant.” Whether deliberate or not, this terminology seems to soften the stance many political “centers of influence” love to use. Jim Matlock Ventura

Be a good neighbor Parking in Ventura is a problem — no breaking news to most residents. For any number of reasons, many establishments don’t have enough parking for their customers, let alone the staff. However, when some local business owners direct their employees to park in residential neighborhoods, there certainly should be a few things that should be considered. Local business owners, when strange vehicles show up at the break of dawn and stay well into the night, homeowners take notice. When these same employee vehicles block our driveways and when your employees move our trash cans “to get a better parking spot,” homeowners take notice. Worst of all local business owners, when your employees have the mobile detail guy show up in our neighborhoods, homeowners really take notice!! The excessive noise of the spray hoses, the water run-off and the uninvited environmental consequences are just the start. Did we ask for the soap and the overspray on our yards? Does the city of Ventura want to settle slip and fall issues due to the water on the sidewalks? It’s my understanding that this is an illegal, code violation worthy activity on city streets to begin with and, plain and simple, a reflection on local business owners not being good neighbors. Being a local business owner has its challenges. I’m very aware of that. Just remember, residents see your business name on your employees’ scrubs and T-shirts. Your office might offer the best teeth cleaning in town or your café might serve the best raspberry jam, but your business, via your employees, may have left a bad taste in the mouth of many of your potential, or even worse, former customers.

Shooter or murderer?

hich more appropriately defines recent violent events? It is time we stopped using the cowardly “shooting” terminology and use the tough terms that truly apply such as murders, murderers, mass murder and mass murderer. So much more appropriate than shooter, shooting, mass shooter and mass shootings.How are these recent killers, events and results significantly different from the Ted Bundys, John Wayne Gacys, Jeffrey Dahmers and other prolific killers of the past? Does this softer terminology help justify and support actions and propaganda of the NRA as it tries to present the need for all types of guns for all types of people?Same for gun manufacturers? Does it help politicians trying to avoid responsibility and solutions while protecting their major donors and party platforms?Would the “murder/murderer” terminology be used by extreme evangelicals and

religious groups such as Franklin Graham’s public relations campaign for “Billy Graham Rapid Response Team,” who use these events to attract positive media attention due to their new marketing campaigns for more prayer (and donations)? These are things to think about before falling prey to a media designed to cater to a singular point of view, special interest, political ideology or bias. Lives depend on holding all politicians and special interests accountable to solutions instead of rationalizations or excuses. The “shooter/shooting” terminology evolved from media, military/law enforcement and political jargon mainly in the 1990s as these new types of murders became political fodder. Changes in terminology can be used to make use of propaganda techniques to sometimes change the emotional impact of a word or phrases. Here are two definitions of propaganda techniques we are seeing: APPEAL TO PREJUDICE “Using loaded or emotive terms to attach value or moral goodness to believing the proposition.” EUPHEMISM “A euphemism is a generally innocuous

One leaves, one enters Oxnard top executive positions, CFO, city manager see changes by David Michael Courtland pariah42@yahoo.com

inding a replacement for Chief Financial Officer Jim Throop, who announced his resignation for a new city manager job in Lompoc, will be one of the first tasks for Riverside Assistant City Manager Alex Nguyen who will be become Oxnard’s new City Manager on July 9; Nguyen’s total compensation package is $335,000. “I’m excited about his background and what he brings to the city in terms of experience,” Ramirez said, adding that there is a unanimous consensus among City Council members to hire Nguyen. “He has excellent cre- JIM THROOP dentials and experience; I think the community is going to like him.” Former City Manager Greg Nyhoff announced his resignation in December for a city manager position in Vallejo, California. His official last day was Jan. 5 after starting with the city in 2014. He hired Throop in 2016 who spent the last two years straightening ALEX NGUYEN out Oxnard’s financial system and getting the city on track toward a more favorable credit rating. “Lompoc is in a position right now to do great things. It has all the ingredients right there and they just need to be stirred together,” said Throop, who was Paso Robles’ director of administrative services for

nine years before he came to Oxnard. “It just presented itself and you don’t pass up an opportunity like that,” said Throop, who begins his new job on July 30 and still has family in Paso Robles. “It’s in the same area as Paso Robles, and so I know there’s potential there.” Throop took over the job of rebuilding the city’s accounting system in 2016, shortly after auditors found that financial records were so confusing that the city couldn’t be properly audited. He says that most of the steps toward putting a functional system in place have been taken. “Removing the qualified findings, that was a big one, and completing an audit” of the city’s finances earlier this year, said Throop, referring to the findings of an independent audit that led to a drop in the city’s credit rating from A to A-minus in 2017. “When we go out and try to do refinancing of the the city’s debt, it will be easier,” with the auditor’s findings cleared up, Throop said. “The city can get a better credit rating and we’ll have more purchasing power.” Throop said that the results of other changes he made during his tenure won’t be so obvious to the public, like changing the city’s policy of having multiple contracts with companies providing the same service, such as pest control. City Councilwoman Carmen Ramirez said that she was impressed at the amount of progress Throop and his staff had made toward fixing Oxnard’s accounting system, completing an audit of the system despite being understaffed. “We don’t have a very large staff; they work diligently,” Ramirez said, noting that the audit had exposed some things that need to be fixed. “It’s hard on people; we have not been modernizing our finance system, but ✦ we have a plan to bring us into the modern age.”

In Brief TINY CABINS REPLACE DOMES AT RIVER HAVEN IN VENTURA

The domes of River Haven have run their course, soon to be replaced by newer, sturdier structures. The domes, a unique feature of the community situated off Harbor Boulevard in Ventura, were an answer to the city’s homeless crisis, providing affordable shelter replete with case management and other services for $300 a month on city-owned property. On Sunday, June 24, Turning Point Foundation will celebrate the successful fundraising that will allow for each of the domes to be replaced by “tiny cabins” at the transitional living enclave. After a fire destroyed several of the dome structures and winds tore apart another, the domes had outlived an estimated five-six-year life expectancy since being installed in 2009. The new cabins will have a decidedly more traditional appearance. The final three cabins come via a collaboration with the Ventura and Orange County chapters of the National Association of Women in Construction, says Suki Sir, marketing and fund development manager at the Foundation. “It makes me believe I do live in the right place,” said Sir on the many contributors to the effort. “These are good people and I’m just happy to be able to help.” For more information on the celebration, visit www.turningpointfoundation.org.

OXNARD LAYS GROUNDWORK FOR CITYWIDE FIBER OPTIC NETWORK

If the city of Oxnard has its way, get ready to surf the World Wide Web at speeds never before experienced by humankind. Gigabit-speed Internet may be coming to Oxnard residents as part of the city’s Fiber Master Plan detailing how to build a high-speed fiber-optic network. Oxnard has enlisted contractors Magellan Advisors and Iteris Inc. to help make real its goal to turn Oxnard into a so-called “Gigabit” city. Keith Brooks, Oxnard’s Information Technology Director, says that “Gigabit fiber is akin to a renewable natural resource that benefits everyone for years to come.” “This network will be the foundational infrastructure investment for the city that will provide high-speed Internet services for businesses and residents, as well as countless modern Smart City initiatives,” said Brooks. Currently, the city has 35 miles of fiber-optic cable connecting traffic signals and city facilities. Magellan Advisors will assess the existing infrastructure and develop an analysis to better understand the broadband “supply and demand” in the city, which will be followed by a conceptual design. “This is a crucial pathway to economic development and the ability to attract advanced businesses that offer high-paying jobs in the city of Oxnard,” said Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn. “Access to high-speed Internet and data networks will also give existing businesses the tools they need to expand.”

COUNTY HOME-CARE WORKERS WIN NEW CONTRACT

Planet Channel Islands ANCIENT HISTORY

The remains of a Native American man who died 10,000 years ago, referred to as Tuqan Man, were laid to rest last week on San Miguel Island, the same island where he was excavated in 2005. The remains were discovered at an archeological site by archeologists with the University of Oregon and were in danger of being lost due to ocean erosion. The excavation was performed to determine if the man was, in fact, Native American. Through a comprehensive scientific study, including geological, osteological and biochemical analyses, it was determined that Tuqan Man lived on the island during the same time as the Chumash, and the original

Ventura County’s In-Home Supportive Services Program workers have voted to approve a new contract that of Supervisors. Employees will receive a minimum of $13.64 per hour rate, a 64-cent increase over the minimum wage by 2020. “This win isn’t just for us but for the seniors and people with disabilities that we care for,” said Vickey Manning, caregiver. “I love being a caregiver but it’s hard to do this job when I have to struggle to pay the rent or bills. This new contract will definitely help.” Currently, just over 5,000 seniors and people with disabilities who depend on an in-home caregiver reside in Ventura County. Caregivers assist in basic and intimate tasks, including bathing and administering medication. Projections forecast a 22 percent increase in caregiver need by 2024, an increase of 1,300 in need of in-home care.

Children from the Ventura Unified School District’s PEAK Program took part in 30-minute swim lessons over the school year, courtesy of the District, Ventura Parks and Recreation Department and Kaiser Permanente’s Operation Splash Program. Program Enrichment for After-School Kids, or PEAK, offers students activities beyond the school day. Students in the third, fourth and fifth grades were transported to the Aquatic Center for 30-minute swim lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year in an effort to increase physical activity for children living in low-income areas. For more information on the program and other after-school activities, visit www. cityofventura.ca.gov/1054/After-School-Programs. Channel Islands YMCA also offers scholarships to kids in need of swimming lessons. “In 2017, the Ventura Family YMCA provided 5,539 swim lessons.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the solution may just be in man’s best friend: dogs, though any pet may do the trick. June 22 is Take Your Dog to Work Day® (TYDTWD), which was first celebrated in 1999. “It was created by Pet Sitters International (PSI) … as a unique way to give back to the pet community from which our members earn their livings,” wrote Beth Stultz, Pet Alex Presberg and Jerry. Sitters International Vice President and Take Your Dog to Work Day® spokeswoman in an email. “The day was created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and promote their adoptions from local rescues, animal shelters and humane societies.” The Housing Authority of the city of San Buenaventura is an official local participant in the Take Your Dog to Work Day for the last four years. “The agency decided to participate in TYDTWD to recognize the important role that

County libraries seek to help adults, kids struggling with reading, writing BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

etters and words hold the code for almost everything in life — road signs for driving, aisle signs at the grocery store, price boards at the coffee house, pharmacy instructions for prescriptions, and emails and letters from loved ones. “Almost every aspect of life is impacted by the need to decode and interpret print,” said Kelly Behle, director of the Simi Valley Public Library. In its efforts to promote literacy, the Simi Valley Public Library is among others countywide that offer programs to help individuals, including those with dyslexia, a learning challenge that makes it difficult for a person to read quickly and automatically. “Dyslexia does not impact intelligence or creativity,” said Behle of Camarillo. Perhaps the biggest myth surrounding people with dyslexia is that they are less intelligent than someone who isn’t dealing with that challenge, Behle said. “We don’t tend to think of hurdles such as poor eyesight or hearing loss as impacting intelligence, so it really is an additional burden for kids and adults who have to deal with dyslexia,” she noted. And because reading is foundational for other learning, “the inability to read fluently, unfortunately, can have a devastatingly negative impact on school success.” Behle emphasized that she knows highly intelligent dyslexic individuals who have been taught strategies — and developed their own — for working around the challenge in order to accomplish what they want to do in life. “If someone with dyslexia has not been taught or personally developed strategies that help them, they might be unable to read at all — which is illiteracy,” Behle explained. “However, there are other causes of illiteracy such as lack of reading material, lack of educational opportunities during childhood, parents with little schooling and difficult living situations.”

— June 21, 2018

Simi Valley Public Library Children’s Librarian, Kathia Ibacache, runs a Beginner Reader’s Book Club that’s designed to build reading comprehension and writing skills.

Dyslexia is a general term for neurological disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read, spell and pronounce words, letters and other symbols, said Carol Chapman, Program Manager for the Ventura County Library’s READ Adult Literacy Program. These disorders do not affect general intelligence, emphasized Chapman, of Ventura. “In fact, most people with dyslexia are very intelligent and talented,” she said. “Many successful and well-known actors, scientists, inventors and artists have dyslexia. NASA actively recruits people with dyslexia because they are gifted in areas that NASA needs.” A misconception is that dyslexia means “reading and writing backwards.” “That is not true,” Chapman said. “People with dyslexia do have trouble learning and using written language; therefore, their letters may be formed incorrectly (and even backwards), or the spelling and writing may look messy or jumbled but that doesn’t mean they are reading backwards.” An illiterate person cannot read or write. “A person who is illiterate may, or may not, be dyslexic,” Chapman said. “If the person never had the opportunity to learn to read, he might learn effortlessly when the opportunity is provided and therefore he is not dyslexic.” If an individual, however, was taught to read in school, and was unable to learn despite being intellectually capable, dyslexia is likely to be the problem. “A person with dyslexia could be illiterate; but they could also be able to read at a high school level, but likely at a slower pace than someone who is not dyslexic,” Chapman explained. The term “functional illiteracy” refers to a person who cannot read or write well enough to perform the daily tasks necessary to thrive in today’s work environment. For example, “40 years ago, an illiterate person, with no reading skills whatsoever, could be an excellent auto mechanic,” Chapman said. “However, in today’s computerized world, an auto mechanic — who may be able to read the sports page — might need to read well enough to read a car’s computer manual to be considered functionally literate.”

POTENTIAL CAUSES OF ILLITERACY

Most people in the U.S.A. have a basic level of literacy from their elementary school years. “But if they had learning problems — possibly dyslexia or ADHD — it may have been too difficult for them to learn in a normal classroom situation so that they never made progress beyond second- or third-grade level,” Chapman said. “Most of these people would have progressed almost normally if they had received a different kind of instruction.” Other causes, Chapman said, may include lack of education (the individual has not had the opportunity to attend school); children who were frequently ill and missed a lot of school; children who moved often and couldn’t catch up in school; those who were too traumatized by some events in their personal lives to learn in school; or those who started school totally unprepared because they had never been read to or seen a book. “This frequently happens in homes where the parents are illiterate or functionally illiterate,” Chapman said. “Libraries, because they provide early literacy classes with stories and singing, are a great resource for children in these families.” As far as adults are concerned, the National Assessment of Adult Literacy Skills, a survey completed every 10 years, indicates that one out of every four English-speaking adults in the state of California is reading below the fifth-grade level, Chapman noted. “The majority of these are probably dyslexic or have a similar reading difficulty,” she said. “Obviously any person who has trouble reading should not feel that he is the only one with this problem.”

‘‘

— Carol Chapman, Program Manager for the Ventura County Library’s READ Adult Literacy Program

CHALLENGES FOR A PERSON’S LIFETIME

Dyslexia and other learning differences can be troublesome for a person’s entire lifetime, Chapman noted. For instance, as toddlers, they may have trouble understanding what they hear or learning to talk. In school they may have trouble paying attention, understanding directions, recalling information or understanding print. “There are many areas that can give a child problems in school,” Chapman said. “These problems follow into adult life and can have an impact in both employment and personal relationships.” For instance, a child who develops poor self-esteem as a result of not feeling smart and successful in the classroom may grow up carrying those same feelings of inadequacy, she noted. “If they are ashamed or embarrassed and learned to hide their problem or learned to act out to disguise their problem they will probably continue these same behaviors as an adult,” Chapman said. Adults who make the decision to ask for help in a local tutoring program are “very courageous,” she further emphasized. “It is not easy to ask for help when you have felt ashamed or have hidden the problem,” she said. “We have great respect for their courage and commitment. And we are grateful that we can offer them hope because we have a specialized method of instruction that works.”

LOCAL FREE RESOURCES

Libraries throughout Ventura County offer numerous programs to help children and adults with literacy. For instance, the Ventura County Library System offers a READ Adult Literacy Program with one-on-one tutoring that’s free and confidential. “You do not have to be illiterate to ask for help,” Chapman said. “Most people who join the READ program already have basic reading and writing skills, but they want to improve because it will make their lives easier or help them get a better job or prove to their kids that it is never too late to try.” Through this program, adults seeking help are assigned their own personal tutors, who meet with them for about an hour once or twice each week and will help them learn or improve their skills. “The student guides the instruction by telling us what they want to learn,” Chapman said. For example, some want to help children with homework, others need to pass a test to get a promotion or license at work; others need to learn to use the computer or do email or want to prepare for the GED, or need to learn to fill out job applications and make a résumé. “Whatever the need, we try to help them improve enough to meet their goal,” Chapman said. “We can get tutors for any Ventura County Library.” She recommends the place to start is to talk to a staff member at one of these locations: • Hill Road Library in Ventura, 805-677-7180 • Ray D. Prueter Library in Port Hueneme, 805-486-5460 • Simi Valley Public Library, 805-526-1735 • Ojai Library, 805-646-1639 • Oak View Library, 805-649-1523 • Meiners Oaks Library, 805-646-4804 “They don’t need to do anything but ask us for help and go to one of our staffed tutoring sites,” Chapman said. “Ask for help;

CAROL CHAPMAN it’s free. Call us at 805-677-7160 or go to your nearest library and ask a librarian for information.” For more specifics, visit www.vencolibrary.org/special-interests/adult-literacy-read-program.

EARLY LITERACY IS CRITICAL

The Simi Valley Public Library offers multiple story times a week, which give parents and children opportunities to participate in listening, singing, rhyming and playing with words and recognizing printed symbols. “Story times are essentially parent education,” Behle said. “The program only lasts a half-hour, and that is not nearly enough time in a week for a preschooler to make strong strides in the area of preliteracy.” Therefore, the songs and rhymes that parents learn with their children are then enjoyed at home, in the car, at playtime. “Patterns of language found in the rhymes, chants and excellent children’s books provide the building blocks for ongoing literacy development,” Behle said. The Simi Valley Public Library also offers an Adult Literacy Program in partnership with Ventura County READ, every Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Literacy Coordinator Teri Smyres who is a kindergarten teacher by day, oversees the one-one-one tutor and student program, in which adults are paired with volunteers who assist them with reading fluency. Other offerings at the Simi Valley Public Library and other libraries include: • Audiobooks: Considered an excellent option for people of all ages, audiobooks on discs can be checked out from the library, and thousands more can be downloaded or streamed on mobile devices or computers. “Listening to an audiobook allows a person to feed their curiosity with information or be inspired by elements of a story without the challenge of decoding print,” Behle said. • Graphic novels: Also considered a good choice because they provide visual storytelling. “But more than providing a simpler way of reading for a young person challenged with dyslexia, these books address the need for print motivation, the desire to read for enjoyment,” Behle said. “We sometimes notice that parents are reluctant to encourage their children to read these books because the stories are not told in words, sentences and paragraphs, but it is quite important for children to be able to choose to read something that they are motivated to read so that a bond is built between reading and enjoyment,” said Behle, adding that graphic novels are available for all ages. • Controlled-vocabulary books: The library has books that are written using limited vocabularies.

WHAT IS DYSLEXIA?

Teachers may have belittled them, peers may have laughed at or bullied them, parents may have punished them or called them lazy and all because no one understood that they were fully capable of learning if the information had been presented to them using a method that their different brain could process.”

Warped out

Alt-pop-punk outfit Doll Skin takes part in this year’s final Warped Tour, hitting the Ventura County Fairgrounds on Sunday.

by Alan Sculley

evin Lyman is approaching this summer’s 24th edition of the Warped Tour thinking about something that never needed to enter his thoughts during most of the years he’s organized and overseen this tour. He’s thinking about his life without the Warped Tour. Last fall, Lyman announced that 2018 would be the last year for Warped as a traveling festival visiting cities coast to coast. It’s the end of an era in the concert world. Warped wasn’t the first traveling festival — Lyman, before launching Warped, worked for three years on Lollapalooza when it was breaking ground. But it is the last such tour, having outlasted Ozzfest, Lollapalooza, H.O.R.D.E., Lilith Fair and every other traveling festival tour. Lyman suspects that the concept of the traveling festival has seen its day. One reason is finances. The transportation costs of getting some 70 bands to the venues have increased, as have band fees, insurance and other expenses that go with the tour.

— June 21, 2018

It’s also become a bigger challenge in recent years to book bands popular enough to anchor the Warped stages and drive ticket sales. That wasn’t such an issue in the first decade or so, when Warped was essentially the only big summer tour going for bands in the punk and alternative rock worlds, and managers and record labels clamored for one of the coveted slots. But the music and touring businesses have changed in big ways. Album sales have tanked in the eras of downloading and streaming services. Without much revenue from album sales, bands have to make their money on the road. Lyman said that Warped is simply not seen by some industry people as the best summer touring option anymore. “When I started Warped Tour, there wasn’t a full summer [of festivals] in Europe that you could go to. Bands used to go over there in June, do a couple of festivals in early June, and then they’d come back [do Warped] and hopefully do a couple [European festivals] in August,” Lyman explained in a late-May phone interview. “But now there’s a full three months of festivals going on in Europe. So the economics have changed for a lot of bands because of lack of payments from records and CDs, that

KEVIN LYMAN type of thing. It’s a time when a band can make their living going to Europe this time of year. “It’s understandable. They only make their money from touring, so in the short-term thinking, maybe they could go make more money [in Europe],” he said. “Now, unfortunately, people are put in a situation where every quarter you’ve got to stay solvent. So that was the problem.” On a personal level, Lyman also found himself getting worn down from the long hours he puts in, traveling with the tour and making

sure things run as smoothly as possible at each stop. Lyman typically starts work before sunup and doesn’t finish until dark — some 16 hours later. It’s become a challenge for Lyman, now 57, to maintain his hands-on approach to managing the tour. And he has a knee replacement and a surgically rebuilt ankle to testify to the wear and tear. “Physically, it’s been a drag the last three summers. I go 100 percent on everything I do,” Lyman said. “I’m always in the middle of it and I will always be in the middle of everything I do. But the physical toll on me has gotten too hard.” So yes, Lyman sounds ready to leave behind the grind of Warped. But not until he takes one last trip around the country this summer. And for Warped’s final voyage, Lyman has assembled a diverse lineup of talent that includes a number of veteran bands that have had multiple outings on the tour (Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish and Every Time I Die) as well as emerging acts that touch on everything from pop-rock (Echosmith) to punk (Doll Skin) to metal (Amity Affliction) and beyond. Lyman said he wasn’t able to book all of the returning acts he wanted (although some groups that helped put Warped on the map are making oneoff guest appearances at various tour stops). He likes what this year’s lineup offers and what he’s seen with ticket sales so far. “I have a very solid lineup and it’s all people who wanted to be there. That’s really what it is. It’s a lineup of the bands that really wanted to be there,” Lyman said. “I really think it’s going to be a celebration of people who are true music fans, who remember those times [at Warped] and are going to come out and have a great last summer with us.” The absence of the tour figures to leave a void for some bands, especially the newer altleaning acts that have used Warped to establish a buzz and fan base. Lyman is more concerned, however, for the future of some of the nonprofits that have been part of the Warped experience. Each year dozens of organizations have traveled with Warped, and a good number of fledgling groups grew into influential operations through the exposure generated on the tour. (One benefactor this year will be the Preventum Initiative, which educates the public about the dangers of opioid abuse.) These organizations will have to find some way to replace the resources that came from Warped. Lyman said he will do as much as he can, going forward, to help Warped’s nonprofit partners. “One of the hardest things of ending this [tour] is trying to figure out how to continue to help them with their missions. We’ve got some plans in place,” he said. “We’re not walking away from them.” Lyman plans to stay involved with some of the nonprofits and he will be available to consult on certain festivals or other events. He has also accepted a teaching position with the University of Southern California starting this fall. And he has one other undertaking in mind for next summer. “Now I’m going to travel in a different way,” Lyman said. “I get to take my wife on a summer vacation. It will be awesome. Yeah, next summer will be our first summer vacation in 27 years, between Lollapalooza and Warped Tour.” ✦ The Warped Tour comes to the Ventura County Fairgrounds, 10 W. Harbor Blvd., Ventura, on Sunday, June 24, 11 a.m.-8 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit vanswarpedtour.com.

GOING HIS OWN WAY “I don’t try to sound a certain way, I don’t shoot for a particular sound or emulate anybody,” says Smith. “It just comes naturally and whatever sounds good, sounds good. It usually starts with a riff like a cool guitar riff or a phrase that I think is a play on words or cool. It’s much easier for me to write from experience than to write a bunch of random stuff, and finding two words that rhyme.” “Lyrically, I can be humorous or serious depending on the song, but for the most part I’m a pretty upbeat dude and I like to make light out of every situation,” he concludes. “I like the idea that people can hear my music and be like, ‘This guy’s been through the shit but he’s doing OK now.’ A big part of being in recovery is being able to laugh at the shit we used to do, seeing the bright side and how crazy things used to be.” ✦ Kyle Smith performs at Surf Rodeo, taking place July 14-15 at Pierpont Beach in Ventura.

SAVED FROM THE STREETS “I’ve been clean for almost five years, but starting as a teenager, I began as a typical partier, drinking and smoking weed, but started getting into really heavy drugs when I was 17,” Smith recalls. “Heroin and meth were the big two. When I was 17, I left home and tried to make it work on the streets in Long Beach, and was going back and forth between dope houses and bathrooms and couches.” “After about three years on the streets of downtown Long Beach, I was given an ultimatum from an officer to go into an asylum, basically,” Smith continues. “They found me because my mom went on a mission to find me after my dad sent her a picture of a bag of spoons and syringes he discovered in my room after I ran away from him.” Smith was initially afraid that he would never be able to come back, having wasted away to just 113 pounds and fearing that the drugs had ruined his voice and creativity. But after five months, he picked up the guitar again and started strumming in his free time, leading up to the full-court press he’s given his music career over the past 18 months. Smith released his debut CD last December, when it hit No. 8 on the iTunes reggae chart on its first day in release.

yle Smith was one of many everyday heroes who stepped up to help out in Ventura County amid the Thomas Fire, as he volunteered at the county fairgrounds, helped build corrals for animals and assisted in myriad other ways. The 24-year-old singer/songwriter specializes in fusing reggae and rock together in a catchy mix that’s rapidly gaining him fans across Southern California. Yet Smith is lucky to be here at all, having battled a harrowing drug addiction that led him to living on the streets of Ventura and Long Beach for nearly three years before his persistent mother finally tracked him down and got him into rehab with the help of police.

Permission to speak freely A conversation with William Shatner, coming to Thousand Oaks by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

illiam Shatner is distinctly one of a kind. As an actor, he is best known for having played James T. Kirk in the Star Trek series and for his dual episodes of The Twilight Zone. As a musician, he has made critics question the very definition of art with renditions of “Rocket Man” and has released albums with esteemed musicians such as Ben Folds. Shatner will bring his own brand of humor and storytelling to the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on June 24 following a screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

VCReporter: Tell me about the signiﬁcance of Wrath of Khan to the Star Trek franchise.

William Shatner: Well, the Wrath of Khan was not going to be made. Everything was based on the making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which they spent many millions of dollars on, and when it wasn’t as successful as they expected, the decision of Paramount was to not make any more films. Due to a number of circumstances, some of which I will go into on stage, they decided to make one more and give it to the television arm. The TV arm made this film for one-third the cost of Star Trek the movie. It was a critical success and also a box office success. Star Trek II, if you will, was the engine behind which the rest of Star Trek was fueled. If it hadn’t happened, I think we would have seen the last of Star Trek.

How important was that ﬁlm to sciﬁ in general? It sounds as though it was make or break.

I think it was very important for the scifi Star Trek captured. The phenomena of Star Wars had already happened, so that was going to take place, but Star Wars, the 12 — — June 21, 2018

existence of Star Wars, was because it was inspired by Star Trek. Given the success of Star Wars, the people of Paramount decided to make another Star Trek. As far as sci-fi in general, it lifted it from a production point of view where J.J. Abrams got a hold of it and produced these multiple films with special effects, which is what a great deal of Star Wars is, a phenomena of computer graphics that make the film. The epic films of today are all science fiction, and instead of having 10,000 extras like Cecil B. DeMille had, you have five and can make them 10,000.

My intro to you was via Twilight Zone, in particular the episode “Nick of Time,” which was one of my favs. How was it, working with Rod Serling?

Doing those Twilight Zones (I did two as you know), doing those was innocuous enough. It was just another job, and a wonderful thing to do as an actor, but nobody thought of them as being classic or having another life. I didn’t see much of Rod Serling. I had worked with him in live television years prior, so they knew me. He brought with him from New York a whole coterie of talent, production and directing and writing talent; he had a whole group of writers behind him that called themselves the green thumb; and I got to know them. ... Of the 13 [Twilight Zone episodes] they always seem to play, they play the two that I’m in for reasons both you and I can guess.

Have you met fans who have given you credit for their interest in space exploration?

NASA and I are great friends. So many astronauts have said that Star Trek was an inspiration, including engineers. I’m over at the [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] quite a bit. The young people now, who we call the young bloods of JPL and NASA, all credit science fiction and Star Trek in particular

as giving them their interest in the work that they are doing.

You have your name going to the sun on a satellite, too — how did you get involved with that?

Oh, they asked me. I named a young horse Here Comes the Sun.

Speaking of references to music, your musical career is something that is very interesting because it spans genres and you’ve covered quite a few pop hits. What inspires you?

I love music and I love the ability to sing, which I can’t do, but I have a feeling for poetry. Recently I was asked to do a country music album and they wrote several songs. I think they are terrific songs. I finished the album and it’s out in the middle of summer. The same company asked me to do a Christmas album, doing many traditional Christmas songs, and they invited other artists to join me. There’ll be a Christmas album in October. And I’ve got a book, while I’m mentioning things I’m doing, called Live Long and . . . that will be out in the summer as well.

Is there an album of yours that you feel needs to be revisited?

Probably the Ben Folds album [Has Been, 2004]. A couple of songs will hold up.

That was the ﬁrst time I heard you musically and it made me reconsider your musical career.

Good! I’m glad. It’s a way of doing it and I think I’m getting better at it. These two albums are really wonderful and I hope ✦ you will give them a listen. William Shatner will take part in a Q&A following the screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan on Sunday, June 24, at 7 p.m. at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. For tickets and more information, call 805-449-2787 or visit www. civicartsplaza.com.

"Face Off" by Aaron Lacy. The criteria were clear: All genres (landscape, portrait, etc.), photography formats and print media were accepted. The thing that clinched whether a photograph made the cut, however, was more elusive. “We didn’t know what [mnemonic] looked like until we saw it,” explains curator Yessica Torres. Encompassing an array of styles and subject matter, all the chosen photographs tell a story. Something else they have in common: “They will make people stop in their tracks,” says Torres. “The quality and presentation of the works are impeccable.” Artists from across the U.S., the U.K., Canada and the Netherlands were chosen, including two photographers from Ventura County: Edgar Takoyaki and John VanDewerker. Dab Art is currently producing a documentary film about Takoyaki, a professional photographer, whose work “Akasaka 04” is in the exhibition. VanDewerker’s “Ancient Royalty,” which he shot in the dark with moving lights, prompted Torres to exclaim about the relatively unknown photographer, “Where have you been?” On June 9, a winner and runner-up were chosen during the exhibition’s opening reception. The jurors included Torres as well as H Gallery Manager Cameron Hurdus and Distinguished Juror Michael Miner, a well-known cinematographer, director, screenwriter and photographer. Aaron White, a photographer from Long Beach, won for “Face Off,” part of his Lactose Intolerant series. Alina Kholodov’s “Heaven on Earth” was named runner-up. All photographs are for sale on DabArt.me and artsy. net, and the exhibition will be featured in a soon-to-bepublished book. The exhibition ends on July 22 with a panel discussion that is free and open to the public. Until then, the photographs will be on display, telling their stories. Mnemonic through July 22 at H Gallery, 1793 E. Main St., Ventura. For more information, call 805-6268876 or visit www.DabArt.me.

Andy Irons: Kissed by God

Documentary reveals surfing icon’s bipolar struggle by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com

you’re a surfing fan and hope to catch a film about the exploits of surfing icon Andy Irons, hang on tight. While this documentary, coming to Ventura County for just a handful of screenings, shows Andy Irons’ triumphs, it has enough highs and lows to bruise even the best on the waves. Indeed, for Irons, chasing waves and the lifestyle that traveled with it were his success and his demise. So in this film, you can watch Irons surf, but be prepared for some crazy crash-andburns. In the manic life of Irons, you just couldn’t have one without the other. In the words of Irons himself, surfing was about searching for that perfect high, physically and emotionally. “For those 10, three, two, one second, it’s like God came out and gave you a kiss,” Irons narrates in the film’s beginning, “and then you just chase that the whole rest of your life trying to get that first wave or the first barrel or the first turn.” Directors (and brothers) Steve and Todd Jones of extreme sports media company Teton Gravity Research, which produced the film, have detailed Irons’ life, including interviews with his brother, Bruce, his wife, Lyndie, his parents, his friends and a couple of experts in the field of bipolar disorder. Interspersed is intimate footage of Irons, who, along with his younger brother, began surfing at a very young age. As Bruce revealed in the film’s beginning, talking about his brother was “the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.”

Hard because it exposed both brothers’ competitive natures, their fights, their alcohol and drug habits and, since they were professional surfers, their rags to riches stories — from growing up in a humble hut on Kauai, Hawaii, to the peaks of the world surfing tour. For Andy Irons, that peak included three consecutive world surfing titles. This film, however, is more than just a surfing story. It also explores the nature of bipolar disorder and the dark side of opioid addiction. Kissed by God is a sober history of what the U.S. unleashed on itself with the introduction of drugs like oxycontin in the 1990s. It raises questions with which our country currently struggles: Why does success often lead to drug abuse? How does one help someone who voluntarily seeks a dangerous substance? And what forces were ultimately responsible for Irons’ demise? As you may guess, this is a heavy film done with a high level of professional expertise. It will hook you from Irons’ opening quote and throw you into the intense waves of his chaotic physical and mental state. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it is well worth watching. ♦ The film is scheduled for onenight showings at the following theaters: Tuesday, June 26, Regency Paseo in Camarillo; Wednesday, June 27, Plaza Stadium Cinemas 14 in Oxnard; and Thursday, June 28, at Regency Buenaventura 6 in Ventura. For times, tickets and more information, visit Teton Gravity Research at www.tetongravity.com/films/andy-ironskissed-by-god/tour.

Hereditary by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Hereditary Directed by Ari Aster Starring: Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro Rated R for horror violence, disturbing images, drug use and brief graphic nudity 2 hrs. 7 mins.

ereditary is terrifying. Hereditary is also confusing. You might see it as a classic in the same category as Rosemary’s Baby, or you might just dismiss it as a load of hooey. Given the storyline you have to deal with, either choice has strong arguments. Annie Graham (Toni Collette) and family have just buried her mother, Ellen. Annie admits during a eulogy at the funeral that her mother was secretive and very hard to read. Annie’s daughter, Charlie (Milly Shapiro), begins to complain that her grandmother is appearing to her. Of course, nobody believes her, least of all her mother or her father, Steve (Gabriel Byrne). Peter (Alex Wolff), their teenage son, wants to go to a friend’s party. When he asks Annie to borrow the car, she forces him to take his sister. While at the party, Charlie, who is allergic to peanuts, eats a piece of chocolate cake made with nuts and goes into anaphylactic shock. While racing to get his sister to the hospital, Charlie throws her head out the car window to get more air. Alex has to swerve to avoid a dead animal in the road and his sister is decapitated by a telephone pole. Torn by her loss, Annie tries to find consolation in a grief support group. She meets Joan (Ann Dowd) and forms a friendship. At a chance meeting in a local shopping mall, Joan invites Annie to a seance, where they encounter the spirit of Joan’s dead grandson, Luke. This experience leads Annie to explore her own mother’s involvement with spiritualism. As Annie begins to have dark dreams, she becomes more convinced that

‘‘

Odd inheritance

Charlie’s spirit is haunting the house and that her son, Peter, is the key to understanding her mother’s secrets. Ari Aster, who directed and wrote the film, uses quiet to his advantage. In fact, as the story unwinds, you wonder if this is a horror film or a family drama. It’s clear that something is troubling the family, and Aster creates tension by using the camera as a set of eyes to watch every family member as they drift in and out of each other’s orbits. The death of Charlie seems to be a catalyst to shift gears, and as the tension between Annie and Steve grows, so grows the horror that is the film’s backdrop. But somewhere along the way, Aster the writer leaves the audience in the dark, so to speak. He seems to assume that we’ll follow the progression of the Graham family’s demonic possession. Unfortunately, this turns the plot into a murky stew in which we’re left guessing at the recipe. Meanwhile, it’s full speed ahead into demonic darkness with Peter as the final ingredient. Aster is more successful in capturing the visuals of his demonic vision. Though quiet is his tool, visuals are his means, and he doesn’t hold back. From immolation to ants to headless corpses, it’s the horror in this movie that will hold an audience’s attention. He’s also able to cast doubt on the reality of what you’re seeing. From Annie’s dark dreams to the symbiotic connection of the film to her art, Aster uses your eyes to confound your mind and force you to ask: What am I seeing? Aster combines his visuals with scenes that bring to mind the burgeoning rage of family, captured so intimately by Ingmar Bergman in Fanny and Alexander and even Robert Redford in Ordinary People. Hereditary may or may not be a horror classic. Only time will tell. But it’s not ordinary horror either. It has a strong sense of vision, even if its storyline leaves you guessing. You’ll probably have a lot of unanswered questions in the end, but the holy terror of its premise is raw and lurid. Small town, quiet street. Don’t be fooled. This family could definitely use a priest. ♦

It’s

time I was honest with myself. I California. My wife says she will come with me, though she is native here and has never lived anywhere but SoCal. I’m not a native, but I’ve been here a long time, since I was a boy. And I’ve made a living here, fallen in love here, had a child here, made a career here … and now, I can’t afford to live here, certainly not after I retire. But the nagging and life-altering question arises consistently when I start planning the next move in my head. You know what it is and you’ve asked it, too: “But where will I get good Mexican food?” I spent three weeks in Europe in 2014. Three weeks — and I loved it. But there was no Mexican food and it made me sad. Wait, no — not sad. I yearned for it and couldn’t help myself. I wanted salsa and I wanted carnitas and I wanted carne asada and avocados and … schnitzel is very good, but it only goes so far. That’s why Hector’s Mexican Fast Food, the new eatery that usurped the venerable Great Central Steak and Hoagie Company in Camarillo, was a glorious and welcome change. There are great Mexican food places where you can have white table cloths and spend a bit of money and they’re wonderful, worth your patronage. But once in a while, a yellow-stuccoed staid and simple walk-up where the ambience is the food, not the walls, is not only good for your wallet, it’s good for your soul. You

want this — and you need it, too. This is Mexican food in the admittedly Mexican-American tradition, but with deeper roots in Mexico than, well, a lot of places. We ordered Jamaica (pronounced ha-my-ka), a hibiscus tea, slightly sweetened, as well as a horchata and they were both refreshing, delicious and cool. A kickedup version of the quesadilla with marinated carne asada was at once flavorful and meaty, no skimping on that tender steak. Jack cheese, rather than the ubiquitous yellow cheddar, felt more traditional and certainly tasted that way. Two salsas, a delightfully spicy red and a milder tomatillo green were so good that it was all we could do not to just indulge in the crisp flour tortilla chips, dipping and slurping away. I began a small game of tonguesingeing red, followed by the tangy and cool tomatillo and then dipped the quesadilla in both as well. So good. We also ordered a carnitas burrito, the “super burrito,” as it was known with beans, cheese, fresh salsa and avocados. This was such a good, traditional dish that we nearly ordered a second, relegating the delicious quesadilla to appetizer status, but we knew better. The pork, again in abundance, was tender with just the right spice and salt to make the flavors come alive and the avocado, fresh and firm, really brought out the brightness of the salsa, allowing the cheese its more natural supporting role. Perfection. According to the staff, Hector’s has its origins in the Salinas area and this is the first soiree to the south. It’s already become popular with the Camarillo locals and while the lines aren’t prohibitive, the patio and inside tables are full at lunchtime and most evenings, too. Look, I’m leaving California. But not just yet, and if Hector’s offers me a few coupons, I may well have to extend my stay. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have cosmic permission to enjoy extra helpings of waffles, crepes, pancakes and blintzes. Eating additional pastries and doughnuts is also encouraged. Why? Because it’s high time for you to acquire more ballast. You need more gravitas and greater stability. You can’t afford to be top-heavy; you must be hard to knock over. If you would prefer not to accomplish this noble goal by adding girth to your butt and gut, find an alternate way. Maybe you could put weights on your shoes and think very deep thoughts.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

You’re slipping into the wild heart of the season of discovery. Your curiosity is mounting. Your listening skills are growing more robust. Your willingness to be taught and influenced and transformed is at a peak. And what smarter way to take advantage of this fertile moment than to decide what you most want to learn about during the next three years? For inspiration, identify a subject you’d love to study, a skill you’d eagerly stretch yourself to master, and an invigorating truth that would boost your brilliance if you thoroughly embodied it.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Four of his works were essential in earning that award: the play Waiting for Godot and the novels Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable. Beckett wrote all of them in a two-year span during the late 1940s. During that time, he was virtually indigent. He and his companion Suzanne survived on the paltry wage she made as a dressmaker. We might draw the conclusion from his life story that it is at least possible for a person to accomplish great things despite having

by rob brezsny

little money. I propose that we make Beckett your role model for the coming weeks, Gemini. May he inspire you to believe in your power to become the person you want to be no matter what your financial situation may be.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

I suggest that you ignore the temptation to shop around for new heroes and champions. It would only distract you from your main assignment in the coming weeks, which is to be more of a hero and champion yourself. Here are some tips to guide you as you slip beyond your overly modest self-image and explore the liberations that may be possible when you give yourself more credit. Tip #1: Finish outgrowing the old heroes and champions who’ve served you well. Tip #2: Forgive and forget the disappointing heroes and hypocritical champions who betrayed their own ideals. Tip #3: Exorcise your unwarranted admiration for mere celebrities who might have snookered you into thinking they’re heroes or champions.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde. Normally, I would dismiss an idea like this, even though it’s funny and I like funny ideas. Normally, I would regard such a negative assessment of the waterfall’s true nature, even in jest, to be unproductive and enfeebling. But none of my usual perspectives is in effect as I evaluate the possibility that Wilde’s declaration might be a provocative metaphor for your use in the coming weeks. For a limited time only, it might be wise to meditate on a waterfall that flows the other way.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Stage magicians may seem to make a wine glass hover in mid-air, or transform salt into diamonds, or make doves materialize and fly out of their hands. It’s all fake, of course — tricks performed by skilled illusionists. But here’s a twist on the old story: I suspect that for a few weeks, you will have the power to generate effects that may, to the uninitiated, have a resemblance to magic tricks — except that your magic will be real, not fake. And you will have worked very hard to accomplish what looks easy and natural. And the marvels you generate will, unlike the illusionists’, be authentic and useful.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The coming weeks will be a favorable time to accentuate and brandish the qualities that best exemplify your Libran nature. In other words, be extreme in your moderation. Be pushy in your attempts to harmonize. Be bold and brazen as you make supple use of your famous balancing act. I’ll offer you a further piece of advice, as well. My first astrology teacher believed that when Librans operate at peak strength, their symbol of power is the iron fist in the velvet glove: power expressed gracefully, firmness rendered gently. I urge you to explore the nuances of that metaphor.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

If I were your mom, I’d nudge you out the door and say, “Go play outside for a while!” If I were your commanding officer, I’d award you a shiny medal for your valorous undercover work and then order you to take a frisky sabbatical. If I were your psychotherapist, I would urge you to act as if your past has no further power to weigh you down or hold you back, and then I would send you out on a vision quest to discover your best possible future. In other words, my dear Scorpio, I hope you will flee your usual

haunts. Get out of the loop and into the open spaces that will refresh your eyes and heart.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Sex education classes at some high schools employ a dramatic exercise to illustrate the possible consequences of engaging in heterosexual lovemaking without using birth control. Everywhere they go for two weeks, students must carry around a 10-pound bag of flour. It’s a way for them to get a visceral approximation of caring for an infant. I recommend that you find or create an equivalent test or trial for yourself in the coming days. As you consider entering into a deeper collaboration or making a stronger commitment, you’ll be wise to undertake a dress rehearsal.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Members of the Dull Men’s Club celebrate the ordinary. “Glitz and glam aren’t worth the bother,” they declare. “Slow motion gets you there faster,” they pontificate. Showing no irony, they brag that they are “born to be mild.” I wouldn’t normally recommend becoming part of a movement like theirs, but the next two weeks will be one of those rare times when aligning yourself with their principles might be healthy and smart. If you’re willing to explore the virtues of simple, plain living, make the Swedish term lagom your word of power. According to the Dull Men’s Club, it means “enough, sufficient, adequate, balanced, suitable, appropriate.”

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

In the Georgian language, shemomechama is a word that literally means “I ate the whole thing.” It refers to what happens when you’re already full, but find the food in front of you so delicious that you can’t stop eating. I’m concerned that you might soon be tempted to embark on metaphorical versions of she-

momechama. That’s why I’m giving you a warning to monitor any tendencies you might have to get too much of a good thing. Pleasurable and productive activities will serve you better if you stop yourself before you go too far.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Please do not send me a lock of your hair or a special piece of your jewelry or a hundred-dollar bill. I will gladly cast a love spell in your behalf without draining you of your hard-earned cash. The only condition I place on my free gift is that you agree to have me cast the love spell on you and you alone. After all, your love for yourself is what needs most work. And your love for yourself is the primary magic that fuels your success in connecting with other people. (Besides, it’s bad karma to use a love spell to interfere with another person’s will.) So if you accept my conditions, Pisces, demonstrate that you’re ready to receive my telepathic love spell by sending me your telepathic authorization. Homework: Make a guess about where you’ll be and what you’ll be doing 10 years from today. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

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.
