OPINION Editorial

Slipping through the cracks E

ducational milestones are the mandates of American culture. First come high school diplomas, then college degrees, from associate’s to bachelor’s all the way to doctorates and medical degrees. For the 2016-2017 school year in Ventura County, there is good news: High school graduation rates are rising. The rate of students graduating from high school (approximately 86 percent) is above the state average (82.7 percent). The bad news: Students graduating meeting the requirements to enter a California State University or University of California school ranked below the state average, 46.2 percent versus 49.9 percent. But going to college isn’t necessarily the right path for everyone, even high school graduates. According to a recent report by California Competes, a public policy research institute, just over half of California’s college students complete their associate’s degrees in three years or bachelor’s degrees in six years. Even California State University, Channel Islands, reflects the issue of failure to complete the proper courses to obtain degrees, with an average of 20 percent of students dropping out their first year. CSUCI along with CSU Northridge, CSU Fresno and Portland State University recently received a grant to study the problem and find solutions. Average student loan debt is another serious problem and consideration for students, with various studies showing a range of debt between $22,000 and $36,000, depending

Yet to reunite For years, children and parents have been crossing the nation’s southern border into the United States. While many might see this is as “illegal” and an open invitation for people to continue to cross the border, the reality is that many are fleeing from countries plagued by gang violence and extreme poverty due to ruined economies. To risk the long journey, and now the possibility of permanently being separated from their children, these parents are making the heart-rending decision that even separation or detention in the United States is better than the situations they find themselves in at home. These individuals are not criminals as painted by the media; these people are families with hopes of building better lives. For many, this means risking separation to guarantee that their children can live past their teenage years without falling victims to the horrors of gang violence or starvation. There is no question that these children, some younger than 5 years old, being separated from their loved ones will have emotional and psychological scars for the rest of their lives. Although the president issued an executive order to end the separations on June 20, the government has yet to reunite [all of the 2,000] children with their parents. Furthermore, the Trump administration will not reunite any of these migrant children with parents currently being held in immigrant detention facilities

on the source. Suffice it to say, many, if not most, college students will have to accrue some debt to achieve their educational goals. Another issue — roughly 60 percent of college graduates aren’t going into their chosen fields of study for their careers, according to analysts with Liberty Street Economics in their 2013 report, “Do Big Cities Help College Graduates Find Better Jobs?” Also, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2015, over half of college graduates are underemployed. So what happens to the 14 percent of high school students who don’t graduate? Or the other half of college students who drop out? Or even the college graduates with student debt who end up underemployed? We have to wonder what opportunities could have helped students before they even graduated from high school. Over the last several years, there has been a call to bring back high school vocational training such as auto body technology, aviation maintenance, audio production and real estate. To judge all children as capable of earning high school and college degrees and then to guarantee careers in adulthood in the industries of their choices is clearly and abundantly shortsighted. We urge our local education officials and elected representatives to consider pathways to the workforce for all, not just the ones who are able to get high school and college degrees.

unless the federal law is changed. The only way these parents can quickly be reunited with their children once more is by dropping their claims for asylum in the United States and agreeing to be deported, rendering useless the sacrifices they have already made. If history has taught us anything, it is that separating families and using innocent human beings as pawns in a game where no one truly ends up winning only ends up in an apology many years later when the damage has been done. The scars of injustice never fade. Let us not repeat what is so evidently wrong; let us not continue letting this administration use and abuse these families. It is for these reasons that the Ventura County Women’s Political Council (VCWPC) has taken the position to stand with these families and demand that children be reunited with their parents without delay. VCWPC Executive Board Jeannette Sanchez-Palacios, President

Horrific example President Trump just used the Bible as an excuse to divide parents from infants and abduct and torture children at detention sites. Our president has now reached the lowest bar, repeating a similar program that Nazis once employed under Hitler. Trump is not only a horrific example for the Christian faith. He is a horrific example and disgrace for our country. Grant Marcus Ventura

Inching toward Democracy (and back again) Many serious thinkers these days ask whether Trump’s America is still a democracy. But perhaps we need inquire whether we ever were. Certainly we were never intended to be. The propertied white men who wrote the Constitution carefully safeguarded their privileged world from that possibility. They believed, “the wealthy and wellborn” were best able to govern. Majoritarian “passions,” they thought, would lead to disorder. Voting rights, for example, were left to the several states; and in most, only free men with property had that privilege. Females of any condition, slaves and the indentured and most white males were excluded. All but about 6 percent of Americans were barred from the most basic participation in self-government. To further subdue the alleged passions of the many, members of the powerful upper house, the Senate, were chosen by state legislatures rather than directly by citizens until 1915 when the 17th Amendment ushered in our current process. Similarly, presidential results were filtered through the Electoral College whereby state electors cast their allotted votes for the winning candidate en bloc, rather than proportionately. Under this formula, in the last election, the candidate with 3 million fewer votes won the presidency. In reality, the Constitution’s framers were no different than any group intent on preserving its own class’s advantage. They also had the task of knitting together 13 “sovereign” states, each with its own elite to be satisfied if the document was to be ratified. The intent was to maintain the status quo, circa 1787. But, as we all know, America’s political structure evolved. Through generations of fierce struggle and often bloodshed, voting rights enlarged to encompass all adult citizens. Ordinary people gained more control over their lives and a more equitable share of wealth. Far more worthy of veneration than the Constitution’s authors are the many generations of agitators and activists whose struggles moved our nation closer to achieving genuine “consent of the governed.” Today we face a return to the founders’ intent — rule by the rich and well-born. In part, the High Court has enabled the regression with partisan decisions — such as quashing campaign finance limits or refusing relief from voter suppression acts. The latest candidate to join the court looks likely to further entrench plutocracy. Can America be made safe for democracy?

news In Brief OXNARD WANTS YOUR OPINION ON HIGHSPEED INTERNET

Take a survey about the Internet for the city of Oxnard as it gauges its residents’ opinions of broadband. Businesses, institutions and other commercial organizations in Oxnard, Port Hueneme and the surrounding area are being asked to complete a broadband survey “in order to ensure everyone has the high-speed Internet services they need to participate in today’s economy,” say Oxnard officials. The city has begun the process of developing the so-called citywide Fiber Master Plan, which would build a high-speed fiber optic network with gigabit Internet speeds to businesses and residents in hopes of becoming the next “gigabit” city. The survey is available in both English and Spanish and can be found by visiting https://bit.ly/2AkDIoi and https://bit.ly/2OnJSqy respectively.

CSU, CHANNEL ISLANDS, WORKING TOWARD TEACHER RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Counting chicks Bald eagle population begins to soar on the Channel Islands with record hatchlings by Michel Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

estoration efforts for the bald eagle population on the Channel Islands are finally paying off: 20 breeding pairs reared 19 bald eagle chicks this season. The tally of chicks includes 11 from six nests on Santa Cruz Island, two from one nest on Santa Rosa Island, five from four nests on Santa Catalina Island, and one on San Clemente Island. New nest sites were discovered on Santa Rosa Island at East Point and on Santa Cruz Island at Yellowbanks. There are currently 60 bald eagles living on the islands now. “This has been the best breeding season since I began working on the bald eagle restoration project over 21 years ago. The number of breeding pairs has increased from only three in 1997 to 20 this year,” said Dr. Peter Sharpe with the Institute for Wildlife Studies. The disappearance of bald eagles on the Channel Islands occurred in the 1960s, due to DDT enyltrichloroethane, an insecticide) contamination, which birds of prey would be exposed to in the fish they ate. DDT impacted egg shells, making them so thin that they failed to hatch. Bald eagles were also hunted, as well as other raptors such as falcons, to protect livestock. Their eggs were also collected, further disabling the reproductive cycle of bald eagles on the islands. In 1940, Congress passed the Bald Eagle Protection Act, as the species was threatened with extinction nationwide. The bald eagle was also listed for protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1978. DDT was banned by 1980, which led to the species’ resurgence.

In 2002, in an effort to restore the extinct population back to the Channel Islands National Park, juvenile bald eagles, approximately eight weeks old, were brought to and reared on the northern islands, thanks to funding by the Montrose Trustees Restoration Program and a partnership with the Institute of Wildlife Studies. By 2006, the park had brought a total of 61 bald eagles. In 2006, the first nest in 50 years appeared. By June 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the Endangered Species Act, though it is still threatened due to other manmade issues, such as lead poisoning from hunter-shot prey and collisions with vehicles and structures, plus the reduction of habitat. However, 2018 is a record year for offspring on the Channel Islands. The Institute for Wildlife Studies has international reach and is involved in conservation projects worldwide. It has been involved in bald eagle restoration on Catalina Island for nearly 40 years. The Montrose Settlements Restoration Program includes several agencies dedicated to restoring natural resources harmed by DDTs and PCBs released into the environment in southern California. The program is managed by staff from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California State Lands Commission, and California ✦ Department of Parks and Recreation. For more information go to montroserestoration.noaa.gov. To view the bald eagles up close via live webcams provided by Explore Annenberg and the Institute for Wildlife Studies on Santa Catalina and Santa Cruz Island this year, visit explore. org or iws.org.

The National Center for Teacher Residencies has announced that it will spend a year working with California State University, Channel Island’s Education Program to develop a K-12 program. The Center is a national organization supporting teacher residency programs, which allows students to perform as if they were licensed practitioners but under the supervision of an experienced professional. “Instead of spending just a semester in a school or showing up certain days, student teachers are with the K-12 teacher for the entire year,” said Brian Sevier, Ph.D, dean of the School of Education. “It is a full-immersion experience pairing a student teacher with a teacher in a classroom for an entire year. The student teacher starts before the school year even begins, they attend staff meetings, meet parents, do the planning from the beginning to the end of the year.” CSUCI is one of two universities chosen to for the program, the other being Cal State, Los Angeles. The program is in the planning stages currently, with the consultancy phase beginning in August.

GROUPS CHALLENGE SANTA PAULA OIL DRILLING PERMITS

The battle over oil drilling in Santa Paula continues with an appeal brought by three Ventura County conservation groups. In 2015, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved 19 new oil wells and the continued operation of 17 established wells near the Santa Paula Canyon Trail, by a 3-2 vote. The conservation groups Los Padres ForestWatch, Center for Biological Diversity and Citizens for Responsible Oil and Gas challenged the decision, and in 2017 a Ventura County Superior Court judge sided with the Board of Supervisors. Now, the groups are challenging the court’s decision. Originally, the groups alleged that the county failed to evaluate the “significant noise, visual and public-safety impacts that oil drilling expansion would cause to hikers” on the adjacent trail and that the county failed to enforce measures that were originally in place at the time of the permit approvals in the 1970s. The appeal was filed on Tuesday, July 24.

GRANT GIVES OJAI LICENSE TO GO GREEN

The city of Ojai and the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, Aug. 2 where new zero-emission landscape maintenance equipment will be unveiled. The equipment, procured via grant awarded by the Control District’s Clean Air Fund, will assist the city in reaching its goal of acquiring 100 percent of its electricity from renewable resources. “The city of Ojai should be commended for their vision; I’m hopeful other public works departments in Ventura County will also consider utilizing this zero-emission equipment in their landscape maintenance operations” said Mike Villegas, air pollution control officer for Ventura County. “Leading by example and demonstrating new possibilities is a better approach to changing behavior than issuing orders,” said Ojai Mayor Johnny Johnston. “My thanks to the APCD, City Council and Staff for supporting this initiative.” The ribbon-cutting will take place at 11 a.m. at Libbey Park, 210 S. Signal St., Ojai. — Chris O”Neal

THE LONG RUN Financial insecurity at 55 and older a real problem BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

SUZ MONGOMERY

hile those ages 55 and older have access to all available jobs in Ventura County, there are many challenges that this age group will inevitably face as they continue to grow older. For instance, Social Security will not be enough to live on in the future, leading to projections of homeless senior population. In other challenges, if you are 55, you need to reset your retirement fund goal to be well over $1 million and be willing to work until you are 70 in order to have a relatively comfortable retirement. This article takes a look at opportunities for people 55 and older. Input was gathered from experts on this topic, including Greg Amantia, program specialist for, and alumni of, the Master of Public Policy and Administration Program at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. Amantia collaborated with two of his colleagues to provide the following information, including Mark Edwards, Interim Program Director for the MBA-FP Program at CLU; and Loredana Carson, a full-time instructor for, and alumni of, the Masters in Public Policy and Administration Program at CLU.

A PROTECTED CLASS

On paper, there are both state and federal laws that prohibit age discrimination of any kind, according to Amantia. He noted that the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act and, in California, the

LAREDANA CARSON Fair Employment and Housing Act were put in place to prevent employers from refusing to hire or from firing or discriminating against someone based on age. “The biggest myth in thinking people 55 and older are a protected class is that the laws in place are comprehensive enough to prevent ageism completely,” Amantia said. “One must consider the rigidity and narrow focus of these laws to truly understand how simple it is to avoid violating them.” Unless a potential or current employer specifically states that they have refused to hire or have fired you, based on your age, it is extremely difficult to prove, he said. “If, for example, an employer passes over a candidate in the application assessment phase of the hiring process, where little to no explanation of rejection is required, how will the rejected applicant ever know they were discriminated against because of their age?” Amantia hypothesized. “As long as the employer hires a qualified candidate, they will always be able to claim the new hire was just a better fit or more qualified for the position.”

FIXED INCOMES

With respect to fixed income, the younger generation is facing problems, Edwards said. For instance, “There is a fear that Social Security funding will deteriorate, resulting in a dramatic cut (to 79 percent of stated benefits) to benefits for those [now] under 55, starting in 2034,” Edwards said. “In addition, the age when individuals can

file for full benefits from Social Security will rise to 67 for those born after 1959,” explained Edwards, further noting that there is a proposal to continue to raise the full retirement age, ultimately, to 68 or even to 70 by 2040, impacting those now in their late 40s. Individuals can start to draw from Social Security at 62, Amantia said; there is, however, a discount for each year that anyone starts to collect prior to full retirement age (67 for today’s 55-year-olds). “The average Californian receives $16,500 per year from Social Security,” said Amantia. According to the Pew Trust, 13 percent of baby boomer families have some coverage in a traditional pension plan (defined benefit plan), and 43 percent are covered by a defined contribution plan (no employer guarantees). “That means that 44 percent of boomer families have no additional coverage,” Amantia said. As far as the typical fixed income for this age bracket is concerned, “There really is none, individually; though most older seniors have pensions, our younger boomers do not,” said Suz Montgomery, chair of the Ventura Council for Seniors and vice chair of the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging, who also serves the AARP Senior Policy District 26 Ventura County. “This issue is critically important,” Montgomery emphasized. “Social Security will not be enough to live on in the future; welcome to the new projected homeless senior populations —scary.”

HOUSING COSTS

According to the United States Census Bureau, the median annual home price in Ventura County is $598,200. “However, there is no correlation between age and housing costs,” Amantia explained. “The real benefit of being over age 55 is that when you sell your property, you may be qualified for certain exemptions.” He further noted that, according to the Ventura County Assessor’s website: The provisions of Revenue and Taxation Code Section 69.5 (Proposition 60) allow taxpayers at least 55 years of age to purchase a new residence of equal or lesser value than their former residence in Ventura County and transfer the assessed value (not taxes) of their former residence to the new residence. The original and the replacement properties may be in Ventura County, or the original can be from another county. Some restrictions apply. “What this means is that you can avoid a huge increase in property taxes,” Amantia explained. “Prop. 60 allows this exclusion if you buy a home within the same county you currently reside; so inside Ventura County, Prop 90 allows this exclusion if you reside in other specified counties.”

HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES

Currently, there are five developments that specifically serve 55+ communities. “They are Leisure Village in Camarillo, The Springs in Camarillo, Hueneme Bay in Port Hueneme, Oaknoll Villas in Thousand Oaks,

GREG AMANTIA and Pacific Point in Oxnard,” Amantia said. “The range of prices on these properties varies from $20,000 to $60,000, depending on the size and location of the property.” He further noted that not all individuals over 55 years of age are on a fixed income — meaning no current income generated and all income resulting only from Social Security or other pension that is unchanging over time — and these communities are not specifically for fixedincome residents. “The determination of ability to purchase these properties is by age only not income status,” Amantia said.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

According to the United States Census Bureau, between the years of 2012 and 2016, 151,282 (38 percent) of the 403,177 employed (16 years of age and older) in Ventura County worked in management, business, science and arts occupations. In other statistics, 17 percent worked in service-based occupations, 24 percent worked in a sales or an office based occupation, 11 percent worked in natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations, and 10 percent worked in production, transportation and material moving occupations. “Those ages 55 and older have access to all available jobs in the county,” Amantia said. He noted that, currently, unemployment in the county is low, about 3.6 percent, and therefore there are limited employment opportunities except in the high-tech and scientific areas with

MARK EDWARDS requirements of advanced degrees. “While many individuals age 65 and older are predicted to leave the workforce in the next decade, a wave of job openings may occur as people move up into more senior positions vacated by retiring individuals and more entry level positions become available,” Amantia said. “How the ‘Silver Tsunami’ will impact those ages 55 and up specifically remains to be seen.” When it comes to referring seniors for jobs, Montgomery points them to indeed.com, which most recently posted job listings for a recreation and community partnerships coordinator at the city of Ventura; a group home assistant at ResCare in Simi Valley, a field operations assistant at Service Corporation International in Westlake Village, and a community outreach coordinator at the Helping Hands Senior Foundation in Camarillo. Five years ago, Montgomery created ENCORE for Ventura Adult and Continuing Education, which prepares diverse learners with academic, vocational and technological competencies for the 21st century global workforce. ENCORE is a hands-on, self-paced training program in which participants follow written materials and receive help from a teacher as needed. It is not a traditional class where all students are learning the same thing at the same time. “(ENCORE) is a free computer-based training program for seniors over 50 to get basic skills in order to get a job or be more proficient in looking for employment — it’s fabulous,”

Montgomery said. ENCORE is a partnership between Ventura Adult and Continuing Education, Ventura County Area Agency on Aging, and the city of Ventura. Funding is provided by Ventura County Adult Education Consortium. For more information, call 805-289-7925.

PREPARATION FOR FUTURE STABILITY

According to Edwards, someone approaching 55 is going to have to wait until 67 or perhaps 68 to claim full Social Security benefits. “This means that they will need to rely even more heavily on savings to ensure retirement security,” Edwards said. He noted that there is good news and bad news for Gen Xers. “Good — they started to contribute to workplace retirement funds at 27, much earlier than the baby boomer generation,” Edwards explained. “Bad — their average balance and savings rate will result in balances averaging $500,000 when they reach 65.” “While this sounds impressive, if they start to withdraw $40,000 a year and earn the inflation rate, their funds will run out of money in 12.5 years,” Edwards said. “Even if they earn 5 percent more than inflation (a very high historic return), they will still run out of money in 20 years.” Baby boomers have an average of $150,000 in home equity that they could tap for retirement through reverse mortgages.

“At this point, those in the 55 age group have between $60,000-100,000 in home equity,” Edwards said. “As mortgages are paid off, this number will rise, assuming that home values don’t drop as they did in 2007-2008.” Perhaps the biggest danger for 55-year-olds is that they are going to live longer than their parents, Edwards noted. “A 65-year-old male or female can expect to live another 17.8/20.4 years,” he explained. “This number has been rising at a 1 percent-2 percent rate over the last 20 years, so a 55-year -old male might expect to live to 85 while a 55-year-old female may live to 87-plus.” These are averages, “so a prudent financial plan might assume that a Gen-Xer will live until 95 or 100,” Edwards said. He further emphasized that a 55-year-old who works until 68 earns 2 percent more than inflation, draws $50,000 out of savings each year to supplement Social Security (this number rises with inflation), and lives another 30 years will need $1.1 million dollars in savings. “The upshot: If you are 55, you need to reset your retirement fund goal to be well over $1 million and be willing to work until you are 70 in order to have a relatively comfortable retirement,” Edwards said. Montgomery recommends starting to save at age 30. Additionally, “Urge cities, the county and local NGOs to collaborate and work together with me in creating a sustainable, long-term, permanent solution,” she said. “We’re in deep shit already.” ✦

The Fillmore & Western debuts new offerings for summer entertainment by Alicia Doyle

alicia@aliciadoyle.com

he legendary Fillmore & Western Railway Company, located about 30 minutes from Ventura on Highway 126 in the quaint historic town of Fillmore, is home to vintage passenger and dining cars that date back as far as 1914. It’s also home to a 1913 fully restored and operating No. 14 Baldwin steam engine. “Fillmore & Western is known as the home of the movie trains,” said Josh Carsman, marketing director and webmaster. The trains have been used in film and television productions such as Disney’s Lone Ranger, Water for Elephants, Sea Biscuit, The X-Files, Westworld, American Horror Story and many more. “They welcome all production companies to visit and contract with them to film either on-site or on location throughout the United States,” said Carsman, adding that the company also has a wide variety of train-related props for use on sets. In addition, Fillmore & Western also offers a variety of unique recreational opportunities. “Another amazing part of this railroad is the opportunity to ride the movie trains,” Carsman noted. “All year long they offer train tours such as weekend scenic adventures, murder mystery comedy lunch and dinner trains, holiday trains, special event trains, steam train

rides, school trains and privately chartered group trains.” New this summer is an adults-only evening excursion called Hot August Nights. Guests enjoy a 2½- to 3-hour evening train ride through the Heritage Valley while tasting local craft beers or wine. Tickets are $35 per person, which includes three free tastings. Beer, wine and appetizers can also be purchased onboard, with appetizers ranging from $10 to $15, tast-

ings for $2, beer for $7 per glass and wine from $6 to $8 per glass. Hot August Nights will be offered on Aug. 10 and 24 at 7 p.m.; and Aug. 11 and 25 at 6:30 p.m. “This is all about enjoying an evening on a slow-moving vintage train while wine tasting with Santa Clarita’s Reyes Winery and beer tasting with Wolf Creek Brewery,” Carsman said. “Also onboard will be a blues band where passengers can sit, mingle and dance the night

away on beautifully lit open-air flat cars. The goal is, create something new and fun for us big kids.” In other offerings, an inaugural celebration, Return to Santa Paula, is scheduled for Sept. 1-2. The event will include one-hour steam train rides departing from the Historic 1887 Southern Pacific Santa Paula Depot aboard a 1913 2-8-0 Consolidation steam engine built by Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Duluth & Northeastern Railroad. Fillmore & Western purchased the locomotive in 1999 and fully restored it for operation. These hour-long train rides depart at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. on both days from the Santa Paula Depot at 200 N. 10th St. While in Santa Paula, guests can also visit the Agriculture Museum located across from the depot, as well as the Jeanette Cole Art Center and the California Oil Museum. Tickets are $26 for one adult or one adult with a child under age 2; and $16 for youths age 2 up to age 12. Snacks, beer and wine are available for purchase on the train. “Special thanks goes out to the Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce for allowing use of their historic depot ticket office,” Carsman said. “Fillmore & Western strongly supports partnering with neighboring cities when possible and thanks all those who support preserving the railroad for years to come,” Carsman added. “With near completion of the bridge along Highway 126, they are very excited to once again run trains to Santa Paula.” The ultimate goal of Fillmore & Western Railway is the continued preservation of the nation’s railroading history, while bringing communities, families and friends together for an adventure on the rails, said Nicholas Martinez, who has been with the railroad for four years as the onboard services assistant manager. “The importance of the railroad to our community is allowing people to experience a part of our nation’s history, where you’re able to show a slow and simpler time while enjoying scenic views all around,” Martinez said. “With so much technology in today’s world, it’s a fun way to experience railroading in its heyday.” F The Fillmore & Western Railway Company is located at 364 Main St., Fillmore.

Idol chance

Finalist Michael J. Woodard talks fame and fortune ahead of American Idol Live! in Thousand Oaks American Idol season 16 finalists, from left: Gabby Barrett, Cade Foehner, Jurnee, Caleb Lee Hutchinson, Maddie Poppe, Michael J. Woodard and Catie Turner.

ver the course of 15 hit seasons on Fox, American Idol gave dozens of aspiring singers the opportunity to be seen by millions and to catapult to stardom. That showcase seemed to disappear when the network canceled the competition in spring 2016. Yet after a season off the air, ABC stepped in to revive Idol, offering renewed hope to a new wave of singers that included Michael J. Woodard. A native of Philadelphia who was studying voice at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood when the new round of auditions were

held, Woodard leapt at the chance to be seen and wound up placing in the season’s top five finalists out of thousands of contestants nationwide. Woodard is currently reaping the rewards of that success as part of the American Idol Live! national tour, which will reach the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Friday. Speaking from a tour stop in San Antonio, the 20-year-old Woodard exuded a hard-won sense of joy and confidence as he spoke about how the year with Idol has changed his life. “I always knew about the show, but I was scared because I knew that it would be a one-ina-million chance, and I’d already suffered from a lot of rejection previously,” says Woodard.

The Howling Coyote Tour comes to Ventura County by Dane Edmonson

ith the modern landscape of the music industry constantly shifting its “tech”-tonic plates, so to speak, there is more competition than ever — for social media presence, airplay, gigs. For many bands, part of adapting to this change has involved staying true to two of the best elements of the industry: collaboration and contemporary support. These aspects are essential to providing musicians the opportunity to tour while building both a fan base and musical partnership with peers. It is still the most sacred facet of the music industry in my opinion, and Jim Sobo believes this as well. While playing with the band Hearts and Souls in Copenhagen in the early 1990s, Sobo received the unfortunate news that both his father and mother in Los Angeles had fallen ill. He proceeded to move home and not long after, he serendipitously landed a song, “Hello,” in the movie, Mafioso: The Father, the Son. The occurrence provided Sobo with the monetary means to move his family to Arizona and into a more comfortable situation for everyone. This was also where the booking-agent side of Sobo began to shine. Observing the many talented songwriters within his new community, Sobo conceptualized creating a troupe of songsmiths

“But thank God I had Jesus, and my mom really encouraged me. As I walked into the audition, she said, ‘You have nothing to lose.’ ” “I thought, this is my dream and this could be the thing that propels me towards it,” Woodard continues. “I think that was the most nervous I’d ever been for anything. When you watch my audition, you can sense the nerves. My voice was shaky, but I knew I got that far and if I make it past this it’ll be crazy.” Woodard’s influences range from Michael Jackson and Tina Turner to Whitney Houston and Brandy. He began performing at the age of 5 and knew he wanted to pursue music as a career by the time he was only 8 years old.

to bring to the city where he left his heart, San Francisco. Organizing the Howling Coyote Tour in 2005, Sobo used his background as a social worker to pair with Bay Area nonprofit organizations to provide venues for the artists he brought west. Now in its 13th year, Sobo has marked the anniversary by pressing a compilation album featuring songs by Howling Coyote Tour alumni. This record will be sold at every stop the musicians make along the way this year. Included in the bill for the upcoming tour is Tommy Anderson, a folk, rock and bluesman who has played extensively throughout the Southwest for several years. Joining him will be Rosemary Tracy, who brings an alt-Americana flair to the stage. Sobo serves as emcee and performs as well, rounding out a solid trifecta. The tour will be making stops at a few different venues locally. On Tuesday, Aug. 7, the trio will be in Oxnard at The Waterside. The following evening there will be a performance in Santa Barbara before the tour returns to Ventura County, with a show at VinTura in downtown Ventura on Aug. 9. Two opportunities to catch these talented musicians before they roam north to Sonoma County and beyond. Fans of folk, rock and Americana won’t want to miss it! ✦ The Howling Coyote Tour comes on Tuesday, Aug. 7, to The Waterside Restaurant and Wine Bar, 3500 Harbor Blvd., Oxnard, and on Thursday, Aug. 9, to VinTura Tasting Room and Wine Rack, 14 S. California St., Ventura. For more information, call 928-460-3928 or visit www.howlingcoyotetour.com.

He won the singing competition series Majors & Minors on the Hub cable network and has performed on stages across the country, including the historic Apollo Theater, the U.S. Open and the National Black Caucus, as well as a rally for then-President Barack Obama. Woodard moved to Los Angeles after being accepted to the Musicians Institute and eventually auditioned for the American Idol judges by singing the Ed Sheeran song “Make It Rain.” “The most surprising thing is that I think, at that time, I would be surprised at how I was able to be myself,” says Woodard of his seasonlong experience. “It was so easy for me to be myself, having nothing to lose, literally. I didn’t care about the outcome of anything as long as I was being myself. I’m not as surprised now because I know who I am. I never looked at it as a competition, ever, because I was doing what I loved every day.” Friday’s show features multisong performances by the top seven finalists of season 16, who also include Cade Foehner, Caleb Lee Hutchinson, Catie Turner, Gabby Barrett, Jurnee and Maddie Poppe. Also along for the show are Kris Allen (winner of season 8) and the band In Real Life, which has made a splash with three hit singles since winning the 2017 ABC reality competition Boy Band. Each of the seven singers performs four songs over the course of the show, mixing solo performances with duets and singing as a group. Woodard’s spotlighted songs include the showtune “Maybe This Time” from Cabaret, “Titanium” by Sia, Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” and the theme song from Beauty and the Beast. “The next goal is a record deal because the tour is when you start to have yourself really introduced to the world,” says Woodard. “American Idol trains you and sends you out into the world. I want to be the biggest and greatest to ever do it, and I thank Idol for that chance.” ✦

Blindspotting

Boys in the hood face manhood by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Blindspotting Directed by Carlos López Estrada Starring: Daveed Diggs, Rafael Casal, Janina Gavankar Rated R for language throughout, some brutal violence, sexual references and drug use 1 hr., 35 min.

you’re a black filmmaker, this is your summer to go for the gold. First Sorry to Bother You. Now Blindspotting. Both with Oakland as the backdrop. But this time around, the audience gets to dig into some real Oakland. Not just the hood part, but the cultural melting pot part, the gentrification part, the newcomers versus old-school part and, most of all, the tension between the community and its police force part. Filmmakers Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal are natives of the East Bay who believe that Oakland has gotten an unfair shake in the film industry. What they seek is the real Oakland: its cultural changes, its long and strong black history and a few of the reasons why it’s known for its violence. Yes, Oakland is that other city across the bay that usually gets frowned on when someone mentions it. But from Diggs and Casal’s perspective, it’s also a city with a lot of great stories to tell. Collin (Daveed Diggs) is a convicted felon who has three days before his probation is up. He’s trying to stay on the straight and narrow. Unfortunately, his best friend, Miles (Rafael Casal), is a party animal with a penchant for drugs and a hairpin temper. He also happens to be quite funny. Collin is black, Miles is white, but in heart and soul, they are brothers inseparable. One night, as Collin drives home from work, he witnesses a white Oakland cop shoot a young black man in the back. While the story on the news blames the black victim, Collin is haunted by the killing and feels helpless to do anything about it. But Miles is not his only problem. Col-

‘‘

lin must also show up at work every day at Commander Moving, the business managed by his ex-girlfriend, Val (Janina Gavankar), who is studying for a degree in psychology. She left him hanging after he was convicted and thrown in jail. She’s also the woman who doesn’t want to risk her future on his recklessness. And the question haunts Collin: Does he even have a future to offer her? Director Carlos López Estrada is the eye behind the camera, the man in the background who must carry out the vision of Diggs and Casal with a deft touch. We see this most clearly in Collin’s dream sequences, where his guilt seems to manifest itself. There’s a dark courtroom with Miles rapping about Collin’s life. In another, he dreams of a graveyard filled with black shooting victims. The face of the young man whose death Collin witnessed also appears. The film plays fast and loose between comedy and tragedy, sometimes taking sharp turns with a little too much velocity. At times the film is slack, as if it’s being made up on the fly. Still, the comedy is genuine, and the drama grows more compelling as we learn Collin’s backstory. Casal and Diggs play with hip-hop and rap to kill time, but the ending waxes poetic, filled with the agony of a community that must always fear street violence and police retaliation. In a final confrontation between Officer Molina (Ethan Embry) and Diggs, the singer’s casual rap turns into a rhythmic scream. Blindspotting is rough, profane, yet packed with soul. It’s a struggle for survival, especially after having been judged by a court and jury. Where is redemption when you know you’re at fault? What chance at forgiveness is given once the sentence has been pronounced? In the end, there are plenty of excuses and people to blame, but to find the new path that Collin seeks, to even get through the day, he must first be able to turn and look at himself ♦ directly in the mirror.

SAY CHEESE: Cannelloni stuffed with sausage and spinach and topped with a tangy tomato sauce and lots and lots of mozzarella.

Time and tradition reign at old-school Italian joint by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant 2788 E. Main St., Ventura 805-648-7270 or ferrarositalian.com $4-22

ow does one review a local institution such as Ferraro’s? In business for decades, most Italian food-loving Venturans (and probably many hailing from other parts of Ventura County as well) have by now checked out this Five Points family-dining establishment, and the menu is relatively unchanged since Sam and Betty Ferraro opened the restaurant that bears their name in 1970. There’s nothing new to report. And perhaps that’s the story: Nearly 50 years and a few generations (yes, it’s still in the family) later, Ferraro’s continues to deliver classic Italian favorites that keep locals coming back for more. With dark lighting, red-and-white-checkered tablecloths and a no-nonsense yet friendly wait staff, Ferraro’s has a distinctly midcentury pasta joint feel. The menu suits its old-school surroundings: spaghetti and meatballs; baked pastas; parmigianas, marsalas and their ilk; pizza and calzone — all offered in a variety of sauces and meats. The wine list isn’t huge (there are about a dozen options) or exciting, but there’s something about the vintage style that makes me content with a glass of house chianti. If you crave something more upscale, you can always bring your own for a reasonable $10 corkage fee. For a recent trip, I came with my family of four to try some old favorites. I knew that I would not need an appetizer . . . but I couldn’t resist an order of sautéed mushrooms, with several small creminis cooked to perfection in a delicious, garlicky wine sauce. A person could make a meal out of these, a basket of garlic bread and some vino. But you don’t come to Ferraro’s simply for appetizers. Our entrees included soup or salad, so we had the

opportunity to enjoy both the minestrone soup and Sam’s Salad, Ferraro’s version of a classic antipasto salad (with garbanzo beans, cheese and salami — a meal in itself). Both were pretty good, but at Ferraro’s, the stars of the show are always the rich pastas and classic Italian meat dishes. Craving baked pasta, I ordered the cannelloni, filled with ground sausage and spinach. It offered the perfect balance of leafy green to meat stuffed into a crepe topped with a rich meat sauce and loads of cheese. Delicioso. My husband’s chicken parmigiana was also smothered in sauce and topped with a thick blanket of melted cheese (typical of this restaurant), so some digging was required. But once he reached its “heart,” he was duly impressed. The thickly breaded chicken breast was tender and juicy, although a higher meat-to-sauce ratio might have been desirable. The large, rich entree left no room for the side of spaghetti (included with most meat dishes), but it made a tasty lunch the following day. Our 12- and 9-year-olds shared a medium pizza — half pepperoni, half sausage and mushroom — and gave it four thumbs up. Yeah, you kind of wish you had some scissors to cut the strings of cheese that ooze up with every slice . . . but you can’t argue with taste, and the hungry boys made short work of the pie. A few words of advice for any who haven’t yet sampled Ferraro’s delectable dishes. Bring an appetite because the portions are large. Save some room in the fridge because you will thoroughly enjoy the leftovers. Expect lots of sauce and cheese. Ferraro’s has a loyal following, so get there early (even on a weeknight) to beat the crowds — or call ahead and take advantage of the to-go service (efficiently handled at a separate window). But most of all, bring your favorite people. Sitting down to a big meal at Ferraro’s, with its simple, downhome, warm atmosphere, is the epitome of family dining. That and the satisfying food are the secrets to this decades-old restaurant’s appeal, success and longevity. You won’t leave hungry, and you won’t be disappointed. ♦ Si mangia!

ife is circular. What was once fashionable becomes unfashionable and vice versa. Take the tiki culture. Tiki bars came into favor in the 1960s, then simply became kitschy over time — relegated to Brady Bunch episodes and cheesy attractions at Disneyland. But now there is a resurgence and tiki culture is once again on the rise. Celebrating its five-year anniversary, this July VenTiki is the only tiki bar in Ventura and it is awash in cocktails, flowered shirts and island food. For starters, you can’t miss the A-framed thatched roof as you enter the front patio. To your left is a small fire pit, and hibiscus flowers and green vines are everywhere. It claims to be an “island oasis,” and frankly, that’s not too far off the mark. Being located just outside of downtown, it sees more locals than tourists, and pets on the outdoor patio are OK since tiki is no respecter of persons. “We honor the classic tiki drinks, along with their stories, and some of these stories go back hundreds of years,” says manager Todd Sellers.

It offers classic tiki-oriented cocktails, but modern interpretations as well. If you buy the high-end mai tai, aptly and unceremoniously called The $25 Mai Tai, it’s all top-shelf booze and, along with the ceramic tiki mug you get to keep, someone will blow the conch horn and sound the siren box and will either embarrass you or make you feel like a tiki god, depending on your perspective. Otherwise get the classic mai tai. The aroma of the mint draws you in to a mildly sweet and smooth concoction balanced with citrus notes, a hint of acidity, a richness on the mid-palate with enough rum to give you a buzz, but with the mature dark rum standing out. It’s cool and refreshing. Have this with the diver scallops, kalua pulled-pork sliders, or tuna sashimi with ponzu, suggests Sellers.

VenTiki Mai Tai 1 oz. fresh lime juice 1 oz. Platino light rum 1 oz. Platino gold rum 1 oz. Whaler’s dark rum ½ oz. simple syrup ½ oz. Orgeat ½ oz. Orange Curaçao Add all ingredients except for dark rum in shaker, shake for 10 seconds, pour into glass over ice. Add dark rum floater. Garnish with fresh mint spring. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

I predict that August will be a Golden Age for you. That’s mostly very good. Golden opportunities will arise, and you’ll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it’s also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose. The bird’s owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately. That didn’t work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literally translation was “excrement of the gods.” Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

by rob brezsny

your simple provisions, resting content and grateful? If you haven’t, I doubt that any honey will arrive, ether from God or any other source. But if you have been celebrating your modest gifts, feeling free of greed and displeasure, then I expect at least some honey will show up soon.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Don’t worry your beautiful head about praying to the gods of luck and fate. I’ll take care of that for you. Your job is to propitiate the gods of fluid discipline and hard but smart work. To win the favor of these divine helpers, act on the assumption that you now have the power and the right to ask for more of their assistance than you have before. Proceed with the understanding that they are willing to provide you with the stamina, persistence and attention to detail that you will need to accomplish your next breakthrough.

Taurus socialite Stephen Tennant (1906-1987) was such an interesting luminary that three major novelists created fictional characters modeled after him. As a boy, when he was asked what he’d like to be when he grew up, he replied, “I want to be a great beauty.” I’d love to hear those words spill out of your mouth, Taurus. What? You say you’re already all grown up? I doubt it. In my opinion, you’ve still got a lot of stretching and expansion and transformation to accomplish during the coming decades. So yes: I hope you can find it in your wild heart to proclaim, “When I grow up, I want to be a great beauty.” (P.S. Your ability to become increasingly beautiful will be at a peak during the next 14 months.)

“Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.” A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited. I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated. I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present. It’s a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.

GEMINI

VIRGO

(May 21-June 20):

“Manage with bread and butter until God sends the honey,” advises a Moroccan proverb. Let’s analyze how this advice might apply to you. First thing I want to know is, have you been managing well with bread and butter? Have you refrained from whining about

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

I’m not an ascetic who believes that all our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a popnihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children and sunny days. On the contrary: I’m devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 per-

cent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there’s an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it’s time to deal with difficulties I’ve ignored. How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles and aches.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Do you absolutely need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft grass, sensual massages, nine hours of sleep per night and a steady stream of soulful conversations? No. Not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences. But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely. And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles? I’m pretty sure it would. So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“Don’t try to steer the river,” writes Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea. It’s arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life, and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its ever-shifting patterns and rhythms. But wait! Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived. Sometimes, when your personal power is extra-flexible and robust — like now, for you — you may indeed be able to steer the river a bit.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Dear Astrologer: Recently I’ve been weirdly obsessed with wondering how to increase my levels of generosity and compassion. Not just because I know it’s the right thing to do, but also because I know it will make me healthy and honest and unflappable. Do you have any sage advice? — Ambitious Sagittarius.” Dear Ambitious: I’ve noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express. Here’s a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: “Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction.” Here’s another tip from Anais Nin: “The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness.”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Time does not necessarily heal all wounds. If you wait around passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you’re shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process. You’ve got to feel deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

The questions you’ve been asking aren’t bad or wrong. But they’re not exactly relevant or helpful, either. That’s why the answers you’ve been receiving aren’t of maximum use. Try these questions instead. 1. What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? 2. How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can’t quite accom-

plish under your own power? 3. Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that’s imaginary so you’ll be able to focus on the 5 percent that’s truly worth meditating on? 4. If I assured you that you have the intelligence to beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

A scuffle you’ve been waging turns out to be the wrong scuffle. It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice? Don’t waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you’ve wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you’ve received. The skills you’ve been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears? Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle. Homework: What was your last major amazement? What do you predict will be the next one?

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.

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.
