OPINION Editorial

Calling the kettle black O n Aug. 10, editors of the Boston Globe began coordinating an effort for editorial boards across the country to lambaste President Donald Trump for his “dirty war against the free press.” Today, Aug. 16, at least 100 editorials will be addressing this egregious “dirty war” and calling shame on the president. We have joined in the effort. The general American public trusts the democratic process. We understand our freedoms and rights, at least in some capacity, and we believe that a president will have our best interests at heart. For the last two years, however, much of this country has been in a state of emotional turmoil. Trump is leading the charge and redefining divisive politics. But just as Trump prevailed in the election, thanks in part to the help of fake news, he is also polarizing the country by attacking the free press. That in turn affects our ability to trust the news we consume and the sources that provide it. To continue to cast doubt on news agencies that aim to inform creates an unstable foundation for any educated and empowered public. Further, the president is the master of fake news with no remorse. According to The Fact Checker, an online database that verifies the president’s claims, in 558 days, he’s made 4,229 false claims. It’s bizarre to think that anyone would trust the president, given his shifting of blame and responsibility, his haphazard policies that create havoc and fear, his relentless antics and confusing public persona. There is nothing consistent about what he professes are important values for Americans and how he applies them himself, such as advocating the manufacture of products here while his own Trump brand’s goods are manufactured in China. While surely fake news needs to be addressed, news outlets such as The New

Stand up for what’s right

ince that stabbing that happened on the beach a couple of months ago, there has been a visible police presence on the beach. The Ventura Police Department, at the behest of its citizens, patrols up and down the beach, and questions and interrogates homeless people unprovoked. It is very unfortunate because most if not all of them are nonviolent. Yet, they are being questioned continuously as to why they are occupying a public space nonstop, until they are forced into other areas. This morning, as I was running near Surfers Point, I see two white supremacists flying a Confederate flag with nary a care in this

York Times, Los Angeles Times, CNN and Fox News, have to be dependable. Consumers of news do not like to be duped or to be the perpetuators of false information. The sheer longevity of these news sources’ existence should ring truer than a reality-show star turned president. But for those who continue to consume conspiracy theories because of the possibilities and probabilities of something happening, that only creates a volatile state of helplessness and distracts us from what we can actually change and improve. In reality, however, while the president may have a cult following of many Americans, 42.2 percent approve of the job he is doing, according to a sampling of daily surveyors and then averaged at https:// projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trumpapproval-ratings/. The approval rating shows that the majority of Americans cannot trust a president who is so inconsistent, engaged in attacks of not only the press but also many different groups of people as well, and has us all wondering what his real agenda is. Making American Great Again has morphed into Make the Majority of Americans Hostile and Nervous Wrecks. While his supporters may think their loyalty will somehow pay off, the president has power to disintegrate our rights and privileges in being able to choose what we feel is dependable and trustworthy. To enable the president by believing his false claims and enabling his continued attacks on the press, we are jeopardizing the very Constitution our country was founded on. We urge the public to continue to support their local and national news agencies for the facts and for consistently dependable and credible information. Americans should know by now that this president simply does not care about those attributes.

world. The white people who were also in this space barely glanced at them, like there was nothing wrong with seeing this symbol of hate on our beach. Well, there is something wrong with it. These people, unlike the homeless neighbors that we have, do represent a danger to me and people who look like me. And it was interesting to see that none of my white brothers and sisters cared to let them know their disapproval to it. It was also interesting to see the cops who were a mere 50 feet from these same gentlemen, didn’t even glance in their direction. White supremacists are threatening our American communities across the nation. According to this article, they have seen a steady increase since a certain presidential nominee declared that “Mexicans were rapists and murderers” https://www.usatoday. com/story/news/2018/07/17/hate-crimes-upamerica-10-largest-cities/776721002/ When you

are a POC, or gay, or disabled, or of a different religion, and you see this flag flying freely under the California sun, you definitely feel threatened. You know what else is threatening? The fact that my white brothers and sisters can sunbathe next to these white supremacists and not even glance at their direction. That the Confederate flag flew here in California, where the civil war was NOT fought, and no one dared say a word about it, is just as telling of what is OK to my neighbors as it is just as telling that these people felt absolutely safe doing it. When are we as Americans going to stand up for what’s right? Yeah, rallies with your peers shouting slogans is all good and well, but the real test is when you see those people out in public and you don’t bat or say a word. Do you understand how threatening it is to walk and see that and none of your neighbors demand it be taken down? White silence is violence. It is complicity and acceptance that you are OK with hate symbolism. It is also telling who the police officers in this area harass and who they don’t. Today, I was disappointed in my community. Because in the face of hate, they walked by like this was normal and accepted, and that making POC uncomfortable was OK. Ventura, do better.

Killer climate change

Stacy D. Ventura

The heat waves, wildfires, floods and rising of the oceans have begun. Climate change is upon us If there is any human history left when the time comes to make a reckoning, President Trump and his political and business cronies who call climate change a hoax for their own selfish purposes will be seen as contributing to the deaths of millions if not billions of human beings. Will they be judged in the same way history judges Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zedong?

Right Persuasion

Liberal trolling F by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

or the past month the news media keeps reporting on itself because the news media can’t stop creating controversy. At this point in our Internet-driven world, everything from Twitter to YouTube to CNN to Comedy Central to podcasts is considered part of the same blob of news outlets, or at least sites where people get their news. As Forrest Gump would say, “These are very confusing times.” This blob creates opportunities for ignorant provocateurs like New York Times writer Sarah Jeong and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. With YouTube, Twitter and Facebook shutting down Alex Jones’ Infowars because of inappropriate discourse, conservatives are asking: Why isn’t Jeong being treated as a villain too? The argument is that Jeong is “trolling” her enemies, whereas Jones is just a hateful man. While Jones is a nut, why isn’t Jeong considered just as bad and treated equally? Many of these social media controversies are wrapped into some First Amendment argument, and because people are calling for metaphorical heads on sticks or because social

media platforms are removing conservative people or pages, each side feels like a victim, and the American people are resisting the media in general. Recently, an Ipsos poll conducted Aug. 3-6 found, “The number of Americans with some or a great deal of trust in the press has dropped 30 percentage points since the late 1970s.” Interestingly, 85 percent of Americans agree, “Freedom of the press is essential for American democracy.” Additionally, 68 percent believe that “Reporters should be protected from pressure from government or big-business interests.” This goes across both sides of the political aisle. As former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli reputedly said, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.” I don’t believe that people believe this, because people claim they want a free press, but what they mean is, only if their viewpoints are untampered-with by their favorite press personalities. On a scary note, 26 percent say they agree, “The president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” with 43 percent of Republicans agreeing; and 72 percent of Americans think, “It should be

easier to sue reporters who knowingly publish false information.” So people want their own media sources free but the others restricted. Since most Americans live in an ideological bubble, they seem to think that the enemy is the other side. But if Trump shuts down news outlets or social media platforms take that initiative, today it’s the crazies and tomorrow it’s the rest. For example, every major social media platform recently removed content from Alex Jones/Infowars because it had violated the site’s policies. “Apple does not tolerate hate speech, and we have clear guidelines that creators and developers must follow to ensure we provide a safe environment for all of our users,” Apple said in a statement provided to BuzzFeed News. While I’m no Jones fan, how does Apple continue to sell NWA’s song “F—k the Police” on iTunes? That’s pretty hateful. YouTube wasn’t much better: “When users violate … policies repeatedly, like our policies against hate speech and harassment or our terms prohibiting circumvention of our enforcement measures, we terminate their accounts,” said a representative for YouTube. Yet there are videos that many can consider

anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, etc., on YouTube. Why are they still up? In fact, right now Google and YouTube are being sued by Dennis Prager’s Prager University for restricting its G-rated conservative0leaning content. Then there is Twitter. The New York Times writer Jeong has tweeted that “Trump is Hitler,” “Trump=Hitler,” “Trump is basically Hitler,” and “Was Hitler as rapey as Donald Trump?” Plus, she has written a slew of antiwhite tweets about how being white is inferior and “boring.” National Review’s Reihan Salam believes Jeong is just “trolling” white people: “[Trolling is] the most transgressive thing you can get away with saying without actually getting called out for it [. . .] All of us in this space get it, and we have nothing but disdain for those who do not. And some may well be intended as a defiant retort to bigotry.” So Jeong is “trolling” but Jones’ ridiculous claims are “hate speech”? Conservatives have argued for decades that there is a liberal bias, and now the line has blurred even more among solid reporting, editorial journalism and now ♦ the excused “liberal trolling.”

Love is Love: Embracing our chosen families by Colleen Logan, PhD, LPC-S

aine Grey finally found love, acceptance and support at the Queer Resource Center nestled within the City College of San Francisco. As a 22-year-old gay trans man, it made sense that he was drawn to a warm, affirmative place — a place where it was OK to be gay, terrific to be trans and where love was love was love was love. He had only come out as trans the previous fall, knowing that it might tip some of his family and friends over into hatred and disgust as, you know, it’s one thing to be gay … but trans?? And he was right: His family disowned him. But he found and cultivated his chosen family at the Queer Resource Center, where he was loved and accepted unconditionally. As summer came, his safe place closed for the school break. I imagine the old aching feelings of loneliness, fear, and hopelessness returned and, sadly, Daine committed suicide last month. His parents refused to claim his body and lay their son to rest; he was rejected in death as in life. His chosen family rallied and raised over $22,000 to give him a proper burial so he could rest in peace. I understand at least some small part of the pain Daine and many other queer kids feel. I

understand how some days it takes every effort to hold on in a world that sees you as perverted, disgusting and even an abomination. I was different on so many levels and across so many identities. The deepest, darkest difference that I was terrified to admit even to myself was that I was a lesbian. I was gay. I was attracted to girls. It made all of the other differences seem m i n u s c u l e. Growing up was hard. I was asked to leave home and I moved from place to place; no one wanted a struggling, obese, red-headed, adopted, immigrant, queer little girl who was coming to terms with her burgeoning female body and her romantic feelings toward other girls. It wasn’t until my early 20s that, like Daine, I found my tribe — my chosen family — and I began to blossom. Finding community opened

‘‘

the door to experience an alternate adolescence in a community where difference meant strength. Uniqueness was celebrated. Differences meant that I had survived and now I could thrive. And indeed I did. I discovered during that second growing-up that I wanted to be a counselor. I wanted to help all those queer little kids gritting their teeth and fighting through the pain of being different and then, as grownups, needing to heal and learn how to love themselves. I did this work in the dark days when a disease ravaged our community and was seen by many as proof that who we were and who we loved was indeed an abomination. I did this work through my teaching and practice, patiently affirming the validity and beauty of sexual minority individuals, couples and families. And I did this work through service

The deepest, darkest difference that I was terrified to admit even to myself was that I was a lesbian. I was gay. I was attracted to girls.

as a leader at both the local and national levels — steadfast and unwavering, never budging from the firm belief that the differences facing sexual minorities were magnified by societal prejudice and bias that, to this day, still have very little patience for people who are left-handed, let alone differently gendered or affectionately oriented. As we prepare to celebrate Pride in Ventura this month, I am setting forth a call to action. It is up to all of us to embrace our queer brothers and sisters a well as our allies so that we survive and learn to thrive. Stand up and be that one person who affirms all lived experiences and loves others just for who they are. Those touch points contradict the internal and external messages that scream that sexual minorities are sick and perverted. We need our allies, our families and chosen families to stand with us. Doing so helps to combat the ubiquitous negativity so we can love ourselves and love others, and bring healing to others so that maybe, just maybe they can decide to hang on and stay here a little longer. Love really is the answer. Love is love is love is love. ♦ Dr. Colleen Logan is director of the MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Fielding Graduate University, which offers concentrations in counseling LGBTQQIA individuals and couples.

news In Brief COUNTY HOPES TO “CLEAR THE SHELTERS” AT ANNUAL EVENT

A sentinel chicken coop is used to track West Nile virus in Ventura County. Birds are tested regularly for the virus.

Be prepared

First West Nile virus case confirmed in Ventura County by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

entura County has had its first documented case of West Nile Virus of 2018, and officials are spreading the word on how to stay safe during peak mosquito season. On Thursday, Aug. 19, Ventura County Public Health confirmed a human case of West Nile Virus, one of 12 statewide cases from eight separate counties for the year. The virus, carried by mosquitos between hosts after feeding on infected birds, presents symptoms similar to those of the common cold. For some individuals, however, such as people over 60 years of age, and for people with certain illnesses such as cancer, diabetes or hypertension, West Nile virus can be deadly. The first case of West Nile arrived early this year. In 2017, the first infection arrived in October, and by then, statewide, over 300 Californians were confirmed to have been infected. Dr. Robert Levin, health officer with Ventura County Public Health, says that it’s likely that 2018’s first patient contracted the illness outside of the county. “Since we do not have any positive bird samples, as of yesterday [Sunday, Aug. 12], and we don’t have any positive mosquito pool samples, there’s no evidence that it’s here in the county right now for people to get from a mosquito,” said Levin. Levin says that though cases of West Nile virus have grown since it was first seen in California in 2002, most people who contract it aren’t aware that they have it, as 80 percent of those infected show no symptoms.

— August 16, 2018

The individual in the county who contracted the virus, says Levin, did not get “terribly ill” and did not require hospitalization. Ron Ventura, supervisor for the Ventura County Regional Management Agency’s Vector Control Program, supports Levin’s theory that the individual more than likely contracted the virus outside of the county. “We test pools of mosquito twice a month and we have our sentinel chicken flocks;, we haven’t found [West Nile virus],” said Ventura. “We’ve collected, picked up about 15 birds or so, and again those have also been negative.” The county utilizes 54 so-called sentinel chickens, birds placed in strategic areas of the county that are tested every two weeks for the West Nile virus. Ventura says that the county didn’t receive any positive tests until September of last year, but because of our exceptionally warm summer, he suspects a positive test could come soon. “With this August heat going into September, the increase in complaints, I think we may be headed toward a positive pool or positive bird coming,” said Ventura. As the drought worsens in rural areas of the county, mosquitos will search for water nearer to residences. Ventura says that as mosquito complaints increase, the best way to protect yourself from a mosquito bite is to cover up or wear an insect repellent that includes DEET while outdoors, especially in the early morning or evenings, and to check for areas that could harbor water

There is no better time than this Saturday, Aug. 18, to choose a new pet as both Ventura County Animal Shelters will take part in the annual Clear the Shelters pet adoption campaign. The event, originally launched by NBC4 Southern California, KNBC and Telemundo 52 Los Angeles / KVEA, allows pet adoptions free of adoption fees (save for a county license fee) at both shelters operated by the Ventura County Animal Services, in Simi Valley (670 W. Los Angeles Ave.) and Camarillo (600 Aviation Drive). “This event couldn’t happen at a better time,” said Tara Diller, director of Ventura County Animal Services. “VCAS is bursting at the seams with hundreds of amazing pets, waiting to join your families.” Food trucks and dog classes will run in tandem with the day’s events. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at both locations. For more information, visit www.vcas.us.

COUNTY SUPERVISORS URGE CASITAS WATER DISTRICT TO DECLARE DROUGHT

After years of drought, Lake Casitas sits at one-third full, which could spell trouble for the 60,000 or so customers of the Casitas Municipal Water District. At a meeting of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Aug. 7, supervisors urged the Water District to declare a drought emergency to warn residents of the seriousness of the situation. Supervisor Steve Bennet, whose district includes the city of Ojai, Upper Ojai, the Ventura River valley area, the western part of the city of Ventura and other unincorporated areas served by the Casitas Municipal Water District, said in a letter to his colleagues that while customers have reduced water consumption by 40 percent, it will be many years and millions of dollars until other water options become available as Lake Casitas threatens to run dry. The Board unanimously voted in favor of the declaration, and later the same evening, the Ojai City Council followed suit, voting to urge the District to declare a drought emergency. Bennett says in his letter that, should Lake Casitas supply drop below 30 percent, it would trigger a stage 4 water crisis, and customers would be forced to reduce consumption by a further 10 percent. “A declaration of emergency alerts the public that the district will be entering a stage 4 drought condition soon so that farmers,

ranchers and residents can all plan accordingly,” wrote Bennett. “It is critical that those who rely on CMWD water realize the dire nature of this drought and have the opportunity to take any steps they possibly can to conserve further and stretch the length of time water is available.”

SANTA PAULA ANIMAL RESCUE LAUNCHES FUNDRAISER TO COVER MEDICAL EXPENSES

Caring for animals as a no-kill shelter is a costly endeavor, and look no further than the Canine Adoption and Rescue League in Santa Paula for evidence of such. CARL has launched a fundraiser in hopes of covering costs associated with medical expenses for rescue animals and is seeking donations. CARL opened in 1996 as a nonprofit, all-breed, no-kill animal shelter serving dogs that have been abandoned, abused or relinquished. The shelter operates at full capacity year-round. In a release to its supporters, CARL announced that its medical expenses for the last year alone totaled $105,500 and is its “largest ongoing expense.” “The little things add up and before you know it,” said Marsha Moreland, part of CARL’s community outreach team. Moreland says that most of the shelter’s expenses come from veterinary care and, in particular, the cost to spay and neuter animals, most of whom come from the Ventura County Animal Shelter. “If we don’t have the money to pay for veterinary costs for our dogs, then we’re not able to pull more dogs from VCAS and there’s more euthanasia in the county.” For more information on CARL and how to donate, visit www. carldogs.org.

OXNARD HOUSING DIRECTOR RESIGNS

Arturo Casillas has resigned from his position as Oxnard’s housing director, effective Sept. 28. Casillas began as the city’s housing director in August of 2015, but has worked with the city since 1980 with the Housing Department. In his resignation letter sent to Interim Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden, Casillas notes that he has “resigned three times” and has been “reinstated twice and hired back once.” Casillas says that he has enjoyed working with the community and the City Council to “provide services to the residents of Oxnard” and that he has enjoyed working with city staff, but also notes that former City Manager Greg Nyhoff’s “style of leadership was a disappointment” to him. — Chris O’Neal

kids and

cancer Resident of nearby Rocketdyne shines light on unusual diagnoses

LEFT: Chad and Melissa Bumstead with their son Luke, and their daughter Grace, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer at age 4 and is recovering.

BY KATHY JEAN SHULTZ

“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible,” Melissa Bumstead said to another patient’s mother whom she met in a hospital hallway. “Childhood cancer is really rare. I don’t think it’s possible that we could live so close to each other.” But the other mom had recognized Bumstead from a park where both their children played. They’d been moms at the park at the same time, and now they were moms of kids with rare cancers, in the same hospital, at the same time. 8—

OPPOSITE: A recent photo of an area inside the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. In 2014, at age 4, Bumstead’s daughter was diagnosed with a rare leukemia called PH+ALL. After more than 100 days’ hospitalization, two years of treatments, including bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, radiation — and then a relapse — she is now doing well. But hers was not the only rare cancer in the neighborhood. A Simi Valley girl, Hazel, age 7, died in March 2018 of a brain tumor called neuroblastoma. Bailey, 2, whose mother Bumstead had met earlier at the hospital, died of neuroblastoma, in 2015. Bumstead told the Ventura County Reporter that Bailey’s mother had lived in the area during the first trimester of her pregnancy. Another girl, whose mother also lived locally during her first trimester, died of neuroblastoma at age 4 in 2014. With 800 annual cases out of 73 million U.S. children, a child has a .001 percent chance of being diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Bumstead said that a 9-year-old Simi Valley boy died of a brain tumor called DIPG, or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, in 2016; a 16-yearold girl died of medullablastoma in 2013; and a 4-year-old boy died of hepatoblastoma in 2010. A 19-year-old woman who died of eye cancer lived on the same avenue Bumstead lived on. She said that one area baby now has Langerhans cell hystiocytosis, or LCH, which typically occurs in one out of 2 million children each year. A teenager has acute promyelocytic leukemia, or APL, which occurs at a rate of one in 250,000 people annually. “Then there’s my daughter’s PH+ALL,”

Bumstead said. “One in a million get it every year.” When her daughter was bald due to undergoing treatment, people would approach Bumstead while she was out shopping. “They would see her and come up to me and say, ‘My child has cancer too,’ ” Bumstead said. She began to wonder, “What is the statistical probability that all these cases would occur within miles of each other?” Bumstead said that she has since met many childhood-cancer families who all lived within a 20-mile radius of the Santa Susana Field Lab, a former rocket-testing site in Simi Valley. From 1949 until it was closed in the 1990s, the 2,860-acre hilltop site was home to rocket companies conducting thousands of fuel tests, including Rocketdyne, Atomics International, Boeing and Rockwell International; and federal agencies, including NASA and the Department of Energy. A partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor happened at SSFL in 1959, causing radioactive chemicals to drift into the air, soil and water. Employees were directed not to tell anyone about the incident, and it was not publicly disclosed for 20 years, until 1979. “I have found children with absurdly rare cancers,” Bumstead said, “all within 20 miles of the SSFL, and I mean absurdly rare, even in the rare world of childhood cancer.” She mapped out the cases she knew about, and saw what appeared to be pediatric cancers occurring within the 20-mile radius at above-

national averages. She believes the actual numbers are higher because of privacy concerns; she believes that many families do not want to talk about childhood illnesses publicly. The 20-mile radius includes parts of Simi Valley, Bell Canyon and Thousand Oaks in Ventura County, and parts of West Hills, Chatsworth and nearby communities just over the county line. Ewing-Sarcoma is diagnosed in about 200 children per year. That’s a .0003 percent chance of having it. Two area teens in the same high school were diagnosed with it. Rhabdomyosarcoma accounts for 3 percent of all childhood cancers and is diagnosed in about 350 children per year — a .0004 percent chance of getting it. “We have two kids in our area with Rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed,” Bumstead said. Multiple rare cancers appearing within the radius led Bumstead to wonder whether SSFL cancer-causing pollutants are still contaminating groundwater and drinking water, if they are migrating throughout the area, and if they render fruit and vegetables grown there too toxic to eat. She eventually joined Parents Against Santa Susana Field Lab Nuclear Disaster. She started a petition to force a thorough cleanup of the SSFL that has garnered more than 260,000 signatures. “Children are the most vulnerable, with their immature systems constantly growing, and that’s why these pediatric cancers are so concerning,” Dr. Robert Dodge told the VCReporter. Dodge practices family medicine in Ventura and is a member of Physicians for Social Responsibility. “The incidence of these rare cancers certainly raises concerns.” National Cancer Institute data show no unusually high rates of rare childhood cancers in Ventura County or the state of California. Nationally, NCI defines the rarity as less than 20 cases per 100,000 children, compared to 350 cases in 100,000 adults. Dr. Francisco Bracho is Medical Director of Ventura County Medical Center’s Pediatric Oncology Department, and he is also affiliated with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “California does not have a high-

er incidence of childhood cancer, and Ventura county is similar,” Bracho wrote in an email to the Ventura County Reporter. “Rare cancers will not move the needle so no anomalous data would not be expected.” Questions about contamination-linked cancers linger because the site has never been completely cleaned up and decontaminated. A half-century of government-mandated but incomplete cleanups, disputes about who is accountable for cleanup, medical claims and denials of claims has included legal cases initiated by area cancer patients and their families, including Rocketdyne employees who had fatal cancers. A 1997 study found a 60 percent greater chance of cancers for area residents and former employees: “All available evidence indicates that occupational exposure to ionizing radiation among nuclear workers at Rocketdyne/AI has increased the risk of dying from cancers of the blood and lymph system.” A 2007 EPA report concluded: “Multiple operations at the SSFL over the last six decades have resulted in the contamination of surface and subsurface environmental media by various hazardous substances. Extensive use of the most predominant hazardous substance at the site, trichloroethylene (TCE), has impacted the groundwater.” One result of the ongoing debate is that scientists know a lot more about radiation than they did in the past. “We’re concerned about the science,” Dodge said. “The National Academy of Sciences has determined, there is no safe level of radiation contamination. None.” “We’ve heard that this could still be a ‘normal’ anomaly,” Bumstead said, “and that if it were a ‘real’ cancer cluster that they would all be the same type of cancer. But the SSFL had dozens of different radioactive and chemical contaminants, so it makes sense to me that we’d see dozens of different cancers.” Toxins identified as present in SSFL soil, in various reports, studies and tests over the years include cesium 137, perchlorate, plutonium-239, strontium-90, tritium and trichloroethylene, also called trichloroethene or TCE.

“Cesium-137 can remain hazardous for 600 years,” Dodge said. Radioactive cesium-137 burrows into muscle tissue to cause cancer, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. One 2012 EPA survey found SSFL Cesium-137 contamination at levels up to 500 times higher than in uncontaminated soils. Perchlorate was found at unsafe levels in 18 Simi Valley wells in 2002. A 2016 National Institutes of Health study shows how perchlorate affects the thyroid, brain, and metabolism. “Expanding evidence,” according to the study, suggests that children, pregnant women and fetuses may be especially susceptible. “Plutonium-239 is the deadliest substance on Earth,” Dodge said. Plutonium is linked to lung cancer, liver cancer and bone sarcoma. Rocketdyne housed a plutonium fuel-fabrication facility and a nuclear waste processor where four or more nuclear reactors had partial meltdowns. A “half-life” of radioactive chemicals is the amount of time it takes for half of the chemicals to stop being radioactive: The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24,000 years. Strontium-90 can concentrate in bone, make its way into teeth, and is linked to bone cancer and lymphomas, according to the American Cancer Society. The 2012 EPA survey found strontium-90 at levels 284 times higher than in uncontaminated soil. TCE is the focus of current research: Findings of a 2018 study in the Journal of Applied Toxicology link TCE to human liver DNA damage. A 2017 Science Direct report suggests that the developing central nervous system and immune system are susceptible to TCE damage. Studies from 2015 and 2016 describe how TCE impacts heart growth in fetuses. The National Institutes of Health reports that TCE is carcinogenic to humans and a hazard to the central nervous system, kidneys, liver, immune system, male reproductive system and the developing embryo/fetus. The presence of TCE in groundwater was one of the topics covered at the California Department of Toxic Substances Control’s (DTSC) April 2018 Community Biannual Update. Tritium has been found at unsafe levels in

the SSFL area. A new 2018 study in the Journal of Radiological Protection highlighted chromosome irregularities — alterations of genes — in people exposed to tritium. No definite link between cancer and SSFL has been established because 1990s researchers could not assess other factors that cause cancer — such as smoking, a family history of cancer, poor diet or alcohol misuse. The 1997 study showed a 60 percent greater chance of cancers for area residents, but doctors at that time had no way to measure family histories or smoking behaviors of Rocketdyne employees, so they could not point to SSFL radiation as the sole cause of their cancers. Boeing, as well as NASA and the Department of Energy, are each legally accountable for cleaning up different portions of the site, and all cleanup is being overseen by the DTSC. The DOE has decontaminated the portion that it is responsible for, according to DOE representative John B. Jones, who wrote to the VCReporter in a May email that there is no evidence that chemicals are migrating offsite from the two portions DOE is responsible for: “The 2017 sampling results are consistent with previous findings. The main chemical contaminants of concern in Area IV and the Northern Buffer Zone are non-radioactive chemicals trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PERC). Samples from offsite wells are below drinking water standards, demonstrating that these chemicals are not migrating offsite and do not present health risk to surrounding communities.” DTSC representative Russ Edmondson wrote to the VCR in a June email that SSFL’s groundwater is not used for drinking water. The drinking water for local communities is mostly imported from other sources, including Golden State Water Company and Simi Valley Waterworks District No. 8 in Simi Valley; Las Virgenes Municipal Water District in L.A. County; and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in L.A. city areas such as Chatsworth and West Hills. “The majority of imported water comes from the State Water Project (the California Aqueduct) supplied by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,” Edmondson wrote. The cleanup has been perennially steeped in disagreement and lawsuits. Boeing has no plans to decontaminate its portion to a level safe enough for residential building, but rather to a level just safe enough to host hiking trails. In 2009, Boeing successfully sued to overturn one of the cleanup mandates that had been ordered, claiming that it imposed “uniquely onerous cleanup rules that apply nowhere else in California.” Daniel Hirsch, President of Committee to Bridge the Gap and retired Director of UC Santa Cruz’s Program on Environmental and Nuclear Policy, wrote to the VCReporter in an email that commitments were made that all contamination would be cleaned up by 2017: “It is now 2018 and the cleanup has not only not been completed, it has not even begun. The state toxics agency is now estimating cleanup by 2034. At the same time, the parties responsible for the pollution are pushing to break out of their cleanup agreements and leave the great majority of the contamination not cleaned up at all.” Hirsch noted SSFL’s hilltop geography. “It sits on hills, below which live half a million people within 10 miles. The pollutants are carcinogens, which by definition cause cancer, and they ‘want’ to migrate downhill, to where the people are.” Hirsch wrote that the only way to protect people from further injury is to clean up the source: “And it is precisely the promise to do that which is being broken by the state toxics agency and the polluters responsible for the August 16, 2018 — —9

Art Gibson and Anna Graves of High Street Broadcast will perform The Stache at Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center on Aug. 19.

Radio days

DownStage Cabaret Series brings live radio shows to Simi Valley by Emily Dodi

fake mustache that gives its wearer super powers. A wealthy heir and a beautiful dame on the hunt for a kidnapped genius. All tossed in with retro cool and a modern twist. This could only be the work of the High Street Broadcast, an ensemble that has been bringing live radio shows to the stage since 2007. The group’s latest original production is The Stache: Brush with Danger, coming to the DownStage Theater at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center for one night only on Sunday, Aug. 19. It has performed on SVCAC’s main stage before but The Stache kicks off HSB’s inaugural DownStage Cabaret Series in the theater’s second-stage venue. To heighten the cabaret experience and give the evening an extra dose of realism, the intimate DownStage space will take on the look and feel of a 1930s nightclub, with the audience seated at tables placed around the action. To make it all the more authentic, drinks (wine, beer and soft drinks) and dessert will be sold, and the High Street Combo band, led by Art Gibson, will be playing hits from the era as well as some original music. “It was the style we were going for,” says Ryan Neely, an HSB founding member and co-writer of The Stache. “It’s exciting for our group because the DownStage Cabaret will lend itself very well to what we do. It affords us a greater intimacy with the audience.” That’s very important. After all, Neely adds, “The audience is the missing element. They’re like an additional character.” The characters “onstage” will be played by Neely, Scott Gilbert, Liz Stockton, Anna Graves, Jen Ridgway and Will Shupe, who cowrote The Stache with Neely. “We’re very fortunate,” says Neely. “We had an idea to create a show and write the material and play the parts.” That was more than 10 years ago, and since then the members of HSB (as well as guest actors, who feel like an extended family) have honed a creative process that works. Collaboration is key. So is having fun while taking their craft very seriously.

“High Street Broadcast is our passion project. It’s like our sandbox,” Neely adds. “We start with improv and jot down ideas. Some are transformed into sketches. There’s a lot of back and forth. We talk about genres we’d like to do.” The Stache is an homage to classic noir detective dramas. “It’s inspired by The Shadow and Dick Tracy, as well as some early superheroes like Batman and Superman,” Neely adds. Like those old-time radio shows and every High Street Broadcast performance, The Stache features live sound effects and music. Rounding out HSB’s DownStage Cabaret Series will be Trouble at Thunder Gulch (Sept. 23), a take on the classic Hollywood Western; and The Keeper of Gates Island, a thriller akin to The Island of Dr. Moreau (Oct. 14). HSB has more information about its productions at its website, HSBaudio.com. The Cabaret Series is intended to fulfill one of SVCAC’s visions. “The DownStage Theater was created as a second-stage space to complement the main-stage offerings,” says Fred Helsel, SVCAC’s Assistant Community Services Manager. “It was created as an alternative performance space for more intimate theatrical experiences, workshops and concerts. It is a very versatile space.” The space has already played host to several productions for Actors’ Repertory Theatre of Simi’s Literature in Action programs, including Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. On Sept. 9, it will feature Divas in Danger, part of the storytelling series called Tales on the DownStage. “My favorite thing about the DownStage Theater is the unlimited possibilities,” adds Helsel. Unlimited is a word Ryan Neely and High Street Broadcast might use for what the future holds for them, too. After all these years and with dozens of performances under their belts, placing their own twist on classic genres and stories, the ✦ group is just getting started. See The Stache: Brush with Danger on Sunday, Aug. 19, at 7:30 p.m. at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center, 3050 E. Los Angeles Ave., Simi Valley. For tickets and more information, call 805-583-7900 or visit www. simi-arts.org.

SIGHT + SOUND TEMPTS FILM FANS WITH PREVIEW AT THE PACC by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

xnard’s first regional film festival is still a year away . . . but a preview of coming attractions is on the horizon. The Sight + Sound Film Fest, billed as “a cinematic experience for the senses,” will officially take place in August 2019. To drum up interest and involvement, the city of Oxnard and the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center will present a preview on Thursday, Aug. 16. The celebration will include an introduction by festival organizers Luis Güereca (founder of the Oxnard Film Festival) and Carolyn Mullin (Event Coordinator for the PACC), DJs, a “sizzle reel” and a reception for local filmmakers, artists, musicians, actors and cinema fans. Festival committee members Anitra Lawson, new head of the film department at Oxnard College, and Arcelia Martinez of CAPS Media will describe the festival’s scope and offer guidance on the submission process, as well as resources available to filmmakers. “There you will able to meet other like-minded cinema and music aficionados,” says local filmmaker Julio Alcalá. “It will be great to connect and network and support local cinema.” Alcalá helped coordinate a video showcase of short films produced by other local filmmakers. He’s also working on a new project involving the writings of Michele Serros, the renowned Oxnard poet who passed away in 2015. “Michele Serros was a good friend, and through this short film I hope to bring her quirky, witty, socially conscious writings about growing up in small-town Oxnard to life,” says Alcalá. He’s still looking for local actors and hopes that interested parties will seek him out at the Sight + Sound Preview Party. The actual festival coming next year is slated to include workshops in video editing and specialeffects makeup, and will have a diverse lineup of films, with narrative, nonfiction, student shorts and even videos created for the Web. Contributions are still being sought, and the preview party will be an invaluable resource for those hoping to participate. Hit the PACC on Thursday night to find out what Sight + Sound is all about. ✦ The Sight + Sound Preview Party takes place on Thursday, Aug. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard.

Otep frontwoman Otep Shamaya discusses politics, gun violence and not pulling punches on Kult 45 by Alan Sculley

tep Shamaya had never been shy about expressing her opinions in songs she wrote for Otep over the course of her Los Angeles band’s previous seven albums.. In 2016’s Generation Doom, for instance, she tackled climate change, ISIS and, on the song “Equal Rights, Equal Lefts,” homophobia. Shamaya delivered a sharp rebuke to a man who took issue with her being gay, summing up the encounter with “He called me a dyke. I called him an ambulance.” But Shamaya, in a mid-July phone interview conducted between stops on the band’s Fire and Fury summer tour, said that even her bandmates in Otep were a bit taken aback by the lyrics for the group’s new album, Kult 45. “The guys told me, they’re used to me not pulling punches, but they didn’t expect such a body blow on this one,” she said. “I was pretty happy to hear that.” This time, her target, for the most part, is President Donald J. Trump, whom she sarcastically refers to as “Resident Chump.”

12 —

— August 16, 2018

The lyrics on Kult 45 pull no punches. And during this hour-long interview, Shamaya pretty much unloaded on Trump and his supporters on an array of topics, from separating immigrant children from their parents to the lessthan-savory accounts of Trump’s alleged affairs and behavior toward women — acts that she feels have rendered America considerably less great than it was when Barack Obama occupied the Oval Office. For instance, the song “Molotov” takes on hate groups that Shamaya feels have been emboldened by Trump’s rhetoric. “Shelter in Place” (“Hey, hey NRA, how many kids did you kill today?”) was inspired in part by the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. Shamaya, herself a gun owner, doesn’t support banning all types of guns, but said she’s frustrated by the lack of virtually any legislation to reduce gun violence. “It shows you that these people love their guns more than they love other peoples’ children,” she said. So yes, Kult 45 is sharply critical of Trump, but Shamaya said it’s also her commentary on people that still support the president and his policies. “All they’re filled with is whatever they’re

told to think and told to say by their great leader. So they [Trump supporters] operate exactly like a cult,” she said. “And that’s what I think ‘Chump’ has always wanted. I think he spent 70 years waiting to be cruel. I think he spent 70 years waiting to be worshipped.” In addition, Shamaya said, Kult 45 is directed toward what she sees as a growing majority of Americans who want to make sure that Trump becomes a one-term (or less) president. “I guess when I was writing this record, I just wanted to make sure that people who live in red states and people who live in blue states, but primarily people that were against Trump, had a soundtrack for that and also knew that they weren’t alone in the feelings they were feeling,” she said. Shamaya knew going into the album that she was going to court controversy and likely offend Trump’s supporters. It’s a key reason why, after using outside producers on all seven previous albums that Otep has released over an 18-year career, she and guitarist Ari Mihalopoulos coproduced Kult 45. Shamaya didn’t want any outside people in the studio who could push the group (which also includes drummer Justin Kier and bassist Andrew Barnes) to question or

tone down any of the songs. “It was just me and the musicians. That was really something that enabled us, I feel like, to not be shy and not have another voice in the room that doesn’t go on the road with us six months out of the year, that doesn’t understand what we see when we see our audiences and their expressions and what we see in their eyes and what we hear from their voices,” she explained. “It really, I think, brought us closer to the core of who we are than any other album except for maybe the first one.” The music on Kult 45 is nothing if not forceful, and draws from an array of influences. Songs like “Shelter In Place,” “Halt Right” and “Boss” bring together rap and metal, while “Molotov” and “Said the Snake” lean more toward hardcore, with roiling guitars and blasting drums. “We just don’t really fit into a single genre,” Shamaya said. “We pull from hardcore. We pull from metal. We pull from punk. We pull from grunge. We pull from rap. We pull from spoken word. Whatever inspires us is what we write. And that was one of the rules when we wrote this record, was just let the music lead you.” Fans can expect to hear three or four new songs in Otep’s headlining sets this summer. “We just kind of pick and choose, every tour, which songs we know the audiences really respond to, which songs are really fun to play live, and we have seven other albums to pick from,” Shamaya said. “This time, we brought back some songs we haven’t played in a few years. It’s a really powerful set, for sure, and geared around the album as well.” F Otep performs on Saturday, Aug. 18, at 8 p.m. at the Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut St., Ventura.

And because I am, she will be half as likely to languish in foster care, and that much more likely to find a safe, permanent home. I am a volunteer child Advocate.

The Meg

by Tim Pompey

Stalled in shallow waters

like shark movies. They don’t have to be good. The Sharknado series is a case in point. They just have to include sharks, preferably predatory sharks looking for a casual human meal, and it doesn’t hurt if they throw in a few jokes here and there. I know that, when I pick a shark movie, people will probably complain about how it reinforces a stereotype of sharks for being dangerous and that it tends to pick on great whites as its victim. Well, of course. If you want education, there are lots of things you can watch on TV. Even Discovery’s Shark Week has some measure of truth to it. But for those of us who prefer the Jaws version of shark behavior, we usually get our fix one or two times per summer. This week, The Meg was my shot, so I took it. Five years previous, Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) was involved in a deep-sea rescue mission. While working to save another submarine crew, something hit his ship, something so destructive that his vessel started to cave in. As a result, he had to abandon part of his crew and abort his mission. For his decision, he was sacked and went to Thailand to get drunk. In the present day, a research project called Mana One is doing a deep-sea dive in the Mariana Trench. Once again, while searching the bottom of the trench for sea life, the submarine with Taylor’s ex-wife Jaxx (Ruby Rose) as captain, encounters something large that attacks the submarine and leaves it disabled. Jaxx is seriously injured.

Sea Fresh 3550 Harbor Blvd., Oxnard 805-204-0974 www.seafreshci.com $5-$28

have mixed feelings about Sea Fresh located in Oxnard’s Channel Islands Harbor. To begin with, the location is great at Marine Emporium Landing. My first visit to Sea Fresh on a Saturday morning was a mixed bag. The outdoor, dog-friendly, patio seating was pleasantly uncrowded (if you don’t count the birds that, despite warning signs, swoop in for grub). A friend and I ordered at the inside counter and were told that our food would be served. We enjoyed the relaxing views of boats gliding by in the channel and kayakers gearing up for a morning on the water while waiting for our meal. But we were practically impaled by a pigeon while dining on eggs Benedict with spinach (me) and a Baja omelet (my friend). The eggs were perfectly poached but the spinach was fishy-tasting and the homemade hollandaise was, according my notes, very strange. Home fries with bell pepper and onion hit it out of the park, but my English muffin was burnt. Strike one. Still, I decided to return for lunch with another friend, a longtime fisherman, who was visiting his folks nearby. He told me he’d enjoyed Sea Fresh’s happy hour earlier that week with his family. This Saturday, at high noon, the place was packed to the gills. Although the line at the order counter spilled out the door, it did move quickly. A sign instructed us to secure a table before making our order — either a booth in the music- and laughterfilled/noisy indoor dining room or one of two outdoor patios. Matt snagged a table at the enclosed outdoor patio, thankfully free of swooping birds. The menu choices are extensive — fresh fish “from the fryer” or “from the grill” (eight choices on each, grilled or blackened from the second); specials (pan-seared diver

scallops, wild salmon, swordfish, etc.); lobster and crab; sides and “premium” sides. House favorites include macadamia-crusted halibut and wasabi-crusted ahi. There’s also a long list of sandwiches, salads, seafood tacos, sushi and sashimi, teriyaki bowls, stir-frys and linguinis. And, of course, kids’ meals ($6-$10) and desserts.

Our Caesar salads consisted of fresh, crispy Romaine lettuce with a slightly tangy dressing and good croutons. “Pretty good for a cafeteria-style operation,” Matt opined. Mat voiced some concern about the large quantity of cheese enveloping his baked potato and hiding the crab, (“That usually means they are skimping on something”) but said the crab was fresh and tasty and that his meal, which came with a Caesar salad, did its job of “filling him up.” Sea Fresh, with the exception of the popular black granite-topped bar, can be a bit hectic when it is crowded. As Matt noted, it felt pricey ($50 for lunch for two, with one Coke, no alcohol), considering that we had to stand in line to order, grab our own silverware and tiny paper napkins and fill up our own soda drinks. Call me fussy if you like, but for that amount of dosh, I’d prefer to be waited on and be provided with cloth napkins. That being said, you can get out more cheaply if you order a sandwich, tacos, a couple of sushi rolls or the teriyaki bowls (all average around $12), which sounded good. Final thought from Matt, “Fish should always be eaten fresh.” And for this, we can vouch that the fish was very, very fresh as the restaurant’s name promises. ♦ August 16, 2018 — — 23

have coffee, but whatever works for you.” Healthier (and less felonious) forms of coping start with unpacking what loneliness is. The late neuroscientist John Cacioppo explained loneliness as a painful feeling of “disconnection” from others. He differentiated loneliness — the aching longing for human connection — from a desire for solitude, “the pleasures of sometimes being by yourself.” And he and his wife and research partner, psychologist Stephanie Cacioppo, noted that loneliness has been associated with serious negative effects on not just emotional well-being but also physical health — including m a 41-year-old married les- an increased risk bian.

need people.” Take author Henry David Thoreau, an icon for hermitude and self-sufficiency who put in big chunks of alone time out by Walden Pond. What few people realize, notes Thoreau expert Elizabeth Witherell, is that he was also a huge people person. In fact, Thoreau wrote in “Walden,” “I think that I love society as much as most, and am ready enough to fasten myself like a bloodsucker for the time to any full-blooded man that comes in my way.” As for you, it’s possible that some of the feelbad you’re experiencing

This should allow you to let your wife know you really missed her — but maybe just with a sexy kiss at the door. No guilt tripping, sadwifeface, or going man’s best friend-style — spending your day shredding all the paper products in the house with your teeth and then moving on to the drywall.

is the discomfort we often feel about change. But chances are, you’d feel a good bit better if you could replace at least some of the level of daily human engagement you’re used to. You could, for example, go out to a coffee shop for part of your workday — the same coffee shop every day so you can connect with other regulars there. You could also invite work-athome friends over to your place to be coworkers. Volunteer work could be helpful, too. No, it isn’t the same as having

How do you know when a man’s “I love you” is for real? I’ve had men express their love to me with great sincerity, only to vanish not long afterward. Are all men this fickle? Manipulative?

in which it’s made. Not surprisingly, research by evolutionary social psychologist Joshua Ackerman and his colleagues suggests that men’s I-love-yous “are likely to be more sincere (i.e., less colored by the goal of attaining initial sexual access) after sex has occurred.” They also find that men, on average, start thinking about “confessing love” 97 days into a relationship — so just over three months. Of course, an individual man may know sooner or take longer. All in all, the best lie detector you probably have is context — racking up a good bit of time and experiences with a man and seeing how well the walk matches the talk. You might even wait till the three-month benchmark before concluding that the I-love-yous are likely to be for real — and aren’t, say, the best possible air bag for what might come shortly afterward: “I got you a little something on my work trip. It requires a shor t course of antibiotics.” ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY CANCER ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

“The prettier the garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener,” writes aphorist B. E. Barnes. That’ll be especially applicable to you in the coming weeks. You’ll have extra potential to create and foster beauty, and any beauty you produce will generate practical benefits for you and those you care about. But for best results, you’ll have to expend more effort than maybe you thought you should. It might feel more like work than play — even though it will ultimately enhance your ability to play.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Author and theologian Thomas Merton thought that the most debilitating human temptation is to settle for too little, to live a comfortable life rather than an interesting one. I wouldn’t say that’s always true about you, Taurus. But I do suspect that in the coming weeks, a tendency to settle for less could be the single most devitalizing temptation you’ll be susceptible to. That’s why I encourage you to resist the appeal to accept a smaller blessing or punier adventure than you deserve. Hold out for the best and brightest.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“I’ve learned quite a lot, over the years, by avoiding what I was supposed to be learning.” So says the wise and well-educated novelist Margaret Atwood. Judging by your current astrological omens, I think this is an excellent clue for you to contemplate right now. What do you think? Have you been half-avoiding any teaching that you or someone else thinks you’re “supposed” to be learning? If so, I suggest that you avoid it even more strongly. Avoid it with cheerful rebelliousness. Doing so may lead you to what you really need to learn about next.

28 —

— August 16, 2018

by rob brezsny (June 21-July 22):

Sometimes you make it difficult for me to reach you. You act like you’re listening but you’re not really listening. You semiconsciously decide that you don’t want to be influenced by anyone except yourself. When you lock me out like that, I become a bit dumb. My advice isn’t as good or helpful. The magic between us languishes. Please don’t do that to me now. And don’t do it to anyone who cares about you. I realize that you may need to protect yourself from people who aren’t sufficiently careful with you. But your true allies have important influences to offer, and I think you’ll be wise to open yourself to them.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant,” wrote French author Honoré de Balzac. I think that’s an exaggeration, but it does trigger a worthwhile meditation. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase of your cycle when you have maximum power to raise your appreciation of elegance, understand how it could beautify your soul, and add more of it to your repertoire. So here are your homework meditations: What does elegance mean to you? Why might it be valuable to cultivate elegance, not just to enhance your self-presentation, but also to upgrade your relationship with your deep self? (P.S.: Fashion designer Christian Dior said, “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity.”)

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Many of us imagine medieval Europe to have been drab and dreary. But historian Jacques Le Goff tells us that the people of that age adored luminous hues: “big jewels inserted into book-bindings, glowing gold objects, brightly painted sculpture, paintings

covering the walls of churches, and the colored magic of stained glass.” Maybe you’ll be inspired by this revelation, Virgo. I hope so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you can activate sleeping wisdom and awaken dormant energy by treating your eyes to lots of vivid reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, purples, golds, blacks, coppers and pinks.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

An astrologer on Tumblr named Sebastian says this about your sign: “Libras can be boring people when they don’t trust you enough to fully reveal themselves. But they can be just as exciting as any fire sign and just as weird as any Aquarius and just as talkative as a Gemini and just as empathetic as a Pisces. Really, Librans are some of the most eccentric people you’ll ever meet, but you might not know it unless they trust you enough to take their masks off around you.” Spurred by Sebastian’s analysis, here’s my advice to you: I hope you’ll spend a lot of time with people you trust in the coming weeks because, for the sake of your mental and physical and spiritual health, you’ll need to express your full eccentricity. (Sebastian’s at http://venuspapi.tumblr. com.)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

A blogger who calls herself Wistful Giselle has named the phenomena that make her “believe in magic.” They include the following: “illuminated dust in the air; the moments when a seedling sprouts; the intelligence gazing back at me from a crow’s eyes; being awaken by the early morning sun; the energy of storms; old buildings overgrown with plants; the ever-changing gray green blue moods of the sea; the shimmering moon on a cool, clear night.” I invite you to compile your own list, Scorpio. You’re entering a time when you will be

the beneficiary of magic in direct proportion to how much you believe in and are alert for magic. Why not go for the maximum?

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Since 1969, 8-foot-2-inch-tall Big Bird has been the star of the kids’ TV show Sesame Street. He’s a yellow bird puppet who can talk, write poetry, dance, and roller skate. In the early years of the show, our hero had a good friend whom no one else saw or believed in: Mr. Snuffleupagus. After 17 years, there came a happy day when everyone else in the Sesame Street neighborhood realized that Snuffy was indeed real, not just a figment of Big Bird’s imagination. I’m foreseeing a comparable event in your life sometime soon, Sagittarius. You’ll finally be able to share a secret truth or private pleasure or unappreciated asset.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Activist and author Simone de Beauvoir was one of those Capricorns whose lust for life was both lush and intricate. “I am awfully greedy,” she wrote. “I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish.” Even if your longings are not always as lavish and ravenous as hers, Capricorn, you now have license to explore the mysterious state she described. I dare you to find out how voracious you can be if you grant yourself permission.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to vividly express your appreciation for and understanding of the people you care about most. I urge you to show them why you love them. Reveal the depths of your

insights about their true beauty. Make it clear how their presence in your life has had a beneficent or healing influence on you. And if you really want to get dramatic, you could take them to an inspiring outdoor spot and sing them a tender song or two.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

In her book Yarn: Remembering the Way Home, Piscean knitter Kyoko Mori writes, “The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil sprit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches.” The idea is that the mistake “is a crack left open to let in the light.” Mori goes on to testify about the evil spirit she wants to be free of. “It’s that little voice in my head that says, ‘I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.’” I’ve quoted Mori at length, Pisces, because I think her insights are the exact tonic you need right now. Homework: Make a boast about how you’ll pull off a feat that you’ve previously lacked the chutzpah to attempt. 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. 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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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 FOR SALES INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)9869342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2018-1531.

On or about August 27, 2018, a drawing will be held from a combination of timely received public applications and “Interest Card” applications. If the number of timely public applications received exceeds that of the timely Interest Card applications received, a preliminary drawing will be held just among the public applications to collect a number equal to the amount of Interest Card applications.

A sequenced list of those selected for processing will be posted for 30 days at PMANET.ORG.
