OPINION Editorial

Oxnard’s potential for greatness

f there was one word to describe Oxnard, it would be “enigma”: mysterious, puzzling or difficult to understand. At a quick glance, Oxnard is a diverse community, offering a place for everyone, from the rich to the poor, with neighborhoods flush with different cultures and ethnicities. It’s abundant in job opportunities from the fields to the towers, from manufacturing to marina workers and everything in between. It’s a place rife with potential and people who care. But with all the positive, the balance of problems is practically equal, from apparently dysfunctional government to strong NIMBY attitudes and more. So what could one reasonably wish new City Manager Alex Nguyen to accomplish? Here’s the top five:

for Oxnard and the industry in the area?

GANG VIOLENCE AND POVERTY

While managing a city doesn’t necessarily include figuring out how to reduce violence and gang activities, Nugyen is in a prime position to work with city leaders and advocates to figure out what the community needs to shift those dynamics into a more peaceful and productive way of life. This may go beyond the regular duties of a city manager, but maybe if the right opportunities came to his desk, he would push them forward.

OXNARD’S FINANCIAL WOES

When Nyhoff took the position in 2014, possibly one of the biggest fumbles of his tenure was pushing forward substantial increases in wastewater fees to address IMPROVING COMMUNITY a deteriorating system. The fee increase TRUST would have gone up by 87 percent over five We give Greg Nyhoff credit for coming years, angering residents so much that it in under the worst of conditions, right led to an initiative to reverse the fees and after the former long-term City Managto an effort to recall the City Council memer Ed Sotelo came under scrutiny by the bers who voted for a lower increase after District Attorney for the mess known as the original increase was blocked in court. Oxnard’s finances. City Councilmembers In June, however, Assemblywoman Jacqui were also voted out or did not run again Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, led the efforts to back then, in connection with the dysfuncallocate $9.5 million for wastewater treattion found at City Hall. For three and a ment system repairs. When it comes to half years, Nyhoff managed the city to the fiscal problems in Oxnard, perhaps Nugyen best of his ability. But still, the mistrust will take the opportunity to see how fundgoes on, at least to some degree. We look ing can come from sources other than cashforward to Nguyen working with residents strapped residents. and seeing how he can address their needs and concerns along with the demands of INTERNAL STAFFING government.

BALANCING ENVIRONMENT AND INDUSTRY DEMANDS

Many Oxnard residents, impassioned individuals and groups have long felt that the city has been overburdened by polluting facilities and projects, but the city is also the largest in the county in size and population and should take on some of the responsibilities that would overload other cities. But we digress. We hope to see responsible job and industry growth whereby Nugyen is able to both keep progress going and keep necessary burdens to a minimum, such as the 30-year extension request by Anterra, an oil waste disposal site. What is the best

Brummm, Brummm, Brumm If the above reminds me of anything, it’s insanity! While both coastal communities (Ventura and Santa Barbara) are busy finding ways to deter and outlaw (homeless folks), and while arresting people for camping on the streets, issue outrageous fines for parking RVs on the streets in both Ventura and Santa Barbara communities. But allow Brummm, Brummm, Brumm as the result of no mufflers on the

COMBUSTION

Oxnard is not alone when it comes to internal staffing issues, empty executive positions, etc., but there are certain elected officials who keep staff on their toes, questioning and demanding more information about financial transactions and ways of conducting business. It’s hard to say for sure if all their questions are reasonable or not, but the interrogation tactics are enough to drive many away. We hope Nugyen can find a path to bring together staff with over and overtly suspicious elected officials in such a way that all parties can work in a productive manner for the residents of Oxnard.

motorcycles, trucks and very noisy tail pipes of hot rods. What happened to the law that says all vehicles driven in the state of California must have adequate mufflers? California law requires that all vehicles must be equipped with an adequate muffler to prevent excessive noise from the exhaust system. ... The maximum decibel level applies only to those vehicles. Citations issued to other vehicles (motorcycles, trucks exceeding 5,999 pounds GVWR) are not part of this program. California Vehicle Exhaust Noise Laws (2018) www.californiacarlaws.com/exhaust-noise/ Adequate muffler required. 27150. (a) Every motor vehicle subject to registration shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler in

constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise, and no muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass or similar device. This world is full of insanity and this is just one more example. When the white man arrived to this continent’s borders, there was nothing but outdoor living, as things have progressed we are facing mass homelessness and continuation of lots of noise in our streets! Arrest people that cannot afford housing, but ignore make believe “Hells Angels” even if they are breaking the law with outrageous noise. By the way, dear reader, Ventura County Board of Supervisors just passed a new law to restrict RV parking in and near Ojai. Thanks guys! Jay North Ojai

No skin off their nose My name is Susan Malloy and I have owned Rosie Lee Imports for 12 years. I arrived at my shop on Fourth of July, early, fully expecting to have a great day. BUT to my amazement there were no street vendors in my block, Main Street was barricaded at Fir and a second new barricade was placed across Main Street from the library to the other side. And next to it the police crash vehicle, leaving that whole area in front of my shop completely empty. If you were walking up Main Street to midtown it looked like the fair ended at the uninteresting crash car. My business was down 50 percent over Independence Day last year. My block is part of Downtown Ventura. WHO made this decision? I am sure that whoever decided to do this still got his/her salary so no skin off their nose. I walked all along Main Street, beyond the Mission to see vendors everywhere. The vendors could have easily been spaced further apart. Over the 12 years that I have been at 673 E. Main St. I have seen a lot of changes but none as devastating to me as this one. I would like to know that this is not the new norm and that next year something better will be considered for my block.

Power to Speak

A responsibility to be as accurate as possible by Gregory Fast Re: “To president or not to president” by Paul Moonjean, VC Reporter, July 5 One of the things that makes this country great is the fact that the Constitution of the United States protects a right of free speech. Thus, each of us has the right to an opinion. But that doesn’t make every opinion right. And most people would agree that opinions that are not based on true facts are suspect. After all, isn’t this what the whole “fake news” debate is all about? And so, I was surprised to read “To president or not to president” by Paul Moomjean in the 7/5/18 edition of the VC Reporter. The VC Reporter gave Mr. Moomjean a half-page to disseminate an opinion laced with and, perhaps, based upon inaccuracies. Some Americans, at least, try to be responsible citizens by distinguishing between facts and propaganda, and this piece is a disservice to those citizens. Whether presented as “reporting” (as in “reporting the facts”) or as “opinion,” it should matter to the VC Reporter if what it says is inaccurate. Mr. Moomjean says, “At the heart of Trump’s legislation is the 90-day ban on entry into the United States of citizens from seven countries.” Well, first, the ban was achieved

through a Presidential Proclamation (Presidential Proclamation #9645, issued 9/24/17). Anyone who took a civics class in junior high school learned that presidential orders, proclamations, etc., are not legislation. Legislation is the work product of the legislative branch of government, not the executive branch. Next, there is nothing in Presidential Proclamation #9645 about a 90-day ban. The Proclamation does not specify ANY time limit. Thus, one wonders whether, before writing his opinion, Mr. Moomjean bothered to read the document on which he presented himself as an authority. And I can understand why he may not have read it. The Proclamation is 6,000 words long. Next, Mr. Moomjean writes, “While many liberals can scream that the bias is clear, the court looks at laws, not necessarily intent or outside statements.” First, I don’t even understand this statement. When reviewing a case previously decided by a lower federal court or a state supreme court, the Supreme Court considers the decision made by the lower court and whether that decision conflicts with the Constitution of the United States or federal law. If the facts and circumstances of the case are relevant to the Constitution of the United States or federal law, the Supreme Court will consider those facts and circumstances. Putting aside other tidbits of misinforma-

tion or misdirection that I find in Mr. Moomjean’s piece, the most important problem is that it misses entirely the point (or truth) of the Supreme Court case that upheld Trump’s travel ban. That case (Trump, et al. v. Hawaii, et al.) concerned the scope of presidential power arising under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Thus, the recent Supreme Court case that upheld Trump’s travel ban concerns and speaks about the scope of power given to the president by this federal statute, not to some vague, broad, inferred, implied or inherent presidential power, and this fact is entirely lost upon or ignored by Mr. Moomjean. And it’s an important distinction because a statute enacted by the legislature can be modified by the legislature. In contrast, a power established by the Constitution of the United States cannot be modified by the legislature. I understand that it’s work — actual work — to read something before you present yourself as an authority on it. (For example, the Presidential Proclamation is just over 6,500 words long and the Supreme Court case, including both concurring and dissenting opinions, is 87 pages long.) But that’s always our choice, isn’t it? Each of us chooses to have an opinion that’s based on facts or to have an opinion that’s based on something other than facts. Traditionally, the fourth estate has been

deemed essential to a representative democracy because the press informs the people, the citizens who elect those who represent us in government. But the press has a responsibility to be as accurate as possible in its communications. I don’t think that that goal was achieved when the VC Reporter published “To President or not to President.” For those who are not afraid of work: Mr. Moomjean’s piece focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court case of Trump, et al. v. Hawaii, et al., which upheld a travel ban instituted by President Trump. That case can be found here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/ opinions/17pdf/17-965_h315.pdf The Trump v. Hawaii case discusses Presidential Proclamation #9645, which can be found here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/ presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-enhancing-vetting-capabilities-processesdetecting-attempted-entry-united-states-terrorists-public-safety-threats/ The case also discusses the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which can be found here: http://library.uwb.edu/Static/USimmigration/1965_immigration_and_nationality_ ♦ act.html

that are much more troubling. First off, the conversation being reported on was a private conversation that was later leaked. People say ignorant, stupid, biased things all the time in private, but should people be fired for saying them if their actions do not reflect their private verbiage? Private conversations cannot be the way we judge people. We must judge public actions and behaviors. Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet was a public sin,

no one seemed upset when he said the word in his act. Using the N-word to bring down a person is racist. If we cannot see the difference, then we are essentially in an Orwellian linguistic nightmare. Too often we look to call people racist to simplify an issue because people are not deep. The NFL commentary is another example. While many felt his NFL comments were ignorant of the plight of African-Americans protesting violence in their communities by police officers, believing that all people should respect the anthem is not a racist belief. It can’t be racist, as that belief calls for all people to respect the anthem. Had a group of white players protested the same way in support of another political or social issue, I’m sure Schnatter would have been just as upset. In the end, Schnatter will be fine. He’s very rich. But this type of word-usage witch hunt is not good for anyone. Both liberals and conservatives are guilty of this. Remember Bill Maher’s use of the N-word a few months back? In the end, we like to say we are a free country, but whenever someone is offended because of failing to understand the context, we call for heads on sticks. That’s not freedom. That’s a ♦ new type of prison.

Is Papa John racist? by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

here are certain words that we just can’t say. Our culture allows certain identity groups to use hurtful words in a way to regain the power of those words. For example, racial groups can call each other words that were once used by white people as a way to belittle and humiliate those identity groups. We all know this. We all accept this. But when Papa John’s founder John Schnatter privately used the N-word in historical context to describe how others have used it in the past, those working beside him decided that he had crossed an unforgivable line, and the founder has resigned as chairman of the board for the company he started. Is he a racist? Or is this simply a way to bring down a successful man under the guise of political correctness? According to CNBC, Schnatter used the N-word a few months ago when going through a public relations meeting after he got some heat for suggesting NFL players should respect the national anthem. “The conference call in May came to light after Forbes magazine detailed the incident in an article [. . ..] The report, which was later confirmed by Schnat-

ter, said he was on a call with marketing agency Laundry Service when he tried to downplay comments he made about the National Football League last fall by saying, ‘Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s and never faced any public backlash at KFC.’ ” Obviously, Schnatter never directly called someone by the word; instead, he was trying to explain that previous food chains have done real social harm, but just uttering the word

So the pizza king issued an immediate apology: “News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true,” Schnatter said in a statement released by Papa John’s. “Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society.” While it was stupid of him to say the word out loud, there are two other issues at hand

and ABC had every right to protect itself. The leaker in this story appears to have his or her own motives. My guess is that the board probably wanted the founder gone for a laundry list of reasons. Secondly, language and context are too important to ignore. Quoting a statement with the N-word is 100 percent different from generating a new sentence with the same word. Saying the word does not make a person racist. Is Louis C.K. racist? He might be a pervert, but

In Brief COUNTY, U.S. NAVY SIGN VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT

Years of negotiation have finally paid off for the County of Ventura and the United States Navy after the pair signed an intergovernmental support agreement for large-vehicle repair and maintenance. The County of Ventura General Services Agency Fleet Services will handle U.S. Navy heavy equipment and fire-truck repair at the Fleet Services facility in Saticoy, which will give the U.S. Navy a savings in cost and time for vehicle repairs. “This is an exciting partnership for both the US. Navy and the County of Ventura,” said Christopher Melton, deputy director of Fleet Services. “The Navy will have their vehicles repaired locally by our expert technicians at a cost-effective rate, while GSA will increase facility utilization and reduce the Navy’s cycle time for vehicle repairs at the same time. This means that their vehicle fleet will be more ready and better able to respond in the event of an emergency, which is a shared goal. Our Fleet technicians are very excited about this agreement and the opportunity it represents.”

TRACK PERMITS VIA OJAI’S NEW ONLINE SYSTEM

Good news for fans of Domino’s Pizza Tracker: The concept is coming to permits issued by the city of Ojai! The city has launched an online portal for permit tracking. In partnership with Accela Inc., a cloud-based platform, residents, businesses and visitors can track permits for which they have applied for 24 hours, seven days a week. From planning and building to that birthday party at the gazebo, permits will flow like water on the new website. Residents can even sign up for a user account to keep track of precious permits and save searches for future reference. For more information, visit www.ojaicity.org/citizen-portal/.

VENTURA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE Behold, the VCTC’s website redesign in all its glory. On Friday, July 13, the Ventura County Transportation Commission unveiled a website redesigned in its entirety, featuring enhancements to user experience and ease of navigation, pun intended. The site features route, schedule and fare information for buses connecting Ventura County to both Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties. Later this year, the commission will unveil an “app” featuring real-time transit information that will also give riders the ability to purchase passes online. “VCTC’s website is, and has always been, a hub for multi-modal transportation information in Ventura County,” said Darren Kettle, VCTC Executive Director. “The rebuild upgrades the site for today’s users, more than 67 percent of whom now access it from mobile devices.” In addition to the practical enhancements, the website has received an aesthetic upgrade as well, featuring sleek designs and a built-in Google trip-planning ability atop each page. To feast your eyes on the new site, visit www.goventura.org.

T.O. MAN CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SEVERAL LOCAL TEENAGE GIRLS

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office alleges that between July 2015 and April 2018, Thousand Oaks resident Mario Gonzalez-Solano “preyed on female juvenile runaways from the Camarillo area by enticing them with drugs and alcohol.” On June 4, 2018, authorities received a report of sexual assault of a 17-year-old female and, during the investigation, Gonzalez-Solano was identified as the suspect. On June 6, a detective, posing as a 16-yearold girl, solicited Gonzalez-Solano online, seeking a sexual relationship with him. Gonzalez-Solano allegedly traveled from Thousand Oaks to Camarillo to meet the girl, where he was arrested and charged with one felony count of “communicating with a minor to commit a lewd act” and a misdemeanor count of “contributing to the delinquency of a minor.” Over the course of the investigation, detectives determined that Gonzalez-Solano was a suspect in several reported sexual assaults in Thousand Oaks, Camarillo and at a beach in the unincorporated area of Ventura, resulting in further charges: one felony count of forcible rape, one felony count of forced oral copulation, seven felony counts of lewd acts against children and four felony counts of unlawful sexual accounts with minors. Gonzalez-Solano pleaded not guilty on June 12 and is due back in court for an early disposition conference on Aug. 14. He remains in custody on $500,000 bail. — Chris O’Neal

n a first for Ventura, a girl’s fastpitch team will represent the city at the Nationals Tournament following several victories across the state. The Ventura Girls Fastpitch 10U division team consists of girls aged 10 to 11 years old, all residents of Ventura. Unlike softball or slowpitch baseball, fastpitch is just how it sounds: A pitcher chucks the ball at speed. Unlike the Major Leagues, however, the distance between the mound and home plate is shorter, at 35 feet compared to 60. This year was the first that the Ventura team participated in the B division, having previously competed in C division tournaments, with A being the top level of competition, says team coach Angel Chavez. Because of their stellar record, the team moved up to the B and, through 51 games, holds a record of 42-8-1. Qualifying for nationals was a big deal, says Chavez, but one not without much effort. After qualifying for the state competition, the team traveled to Lancaster for the nationals-qualifying tournament. “It was about 110 degrees out and the girls played nine games,” said Chavez of the tourna-

ment that took place July 6-8. “We actually played two [games] Friday and three on Saturday, with the last game on Saturday night starting at about 9:30 p.m. On Sunday, the girls won three games [out of four], played back-to-back with a 20-minute break between each.” In the end, the team placed fourth out of 42 teams. In 2017, the Nationals Tournament was held in Boise, Idaho. This year, however, the team will not have to travel far to take part as it will be held in Camarillo. “For a lot of these girls it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Chavez. “It would have been cool to fly out somewhere, but [we] as parents love the fact that it’s in Camarillo, financially.” The full team consists of Kailee Staniland, Alyssa Chavez, Zayra “Yaya” Landeros, Jessie Sebek, Emma Estrella, Tessa Denger, Jordan Gonzalez, Aila Leoffler, Isabella Padilla, Jayla Raya, and Ginevra Scaglia, with coaches Angel Chavez, Fernando Landeros, Tim Sebek and Manager Jeff Staniland. The Ventura Girls Fastpitch team will compete against teams from California, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho when the tournament kicks off on Monday, July 30, and through Sunday, Aug. 5.

grounding effect The healing power of gardening in a frantic world

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

he act of gardening can have a healing effect in many ways, including lowering stress, creating a sense of fulfillment and generally promoting peace of mind. In fact, studies show that patients with clinical depression who engage in routine therapeutic gardening experience a reduction of severity of depression, and increased attentional capacity. “Just spending quiet peaceful time in the garden lowers your stress factor,” said Jim Hines of Ventura, a former nursery owner, landscaper and designer of healing gardens. “The greenery and flowers in bloom calm the soul … the garden is almost magical in its powers to heal.” Hines, who grew up in the world of plants and gardening, said it was fun as a kid with his parents — and now a necessity as an adult. “My work to protect the environment takes me to meetings with some pretty powerful people in Washington, D.C., and after a meeting with White House officials or members of Congress who are opposed to protecting our planet, I find that I cannot wait to return home and unwind, renew, reconnect and recharge in the serenity of the garden,” he said. There is a natural sense of fulfillment and productivity that comes from growing and nurturing plants, said Lanny Kaufer of Meiners Oaks, who has been an organic gardener for almost 50 years. Kaufer learned from an Ojai farmer named Guy Kelley in the early ’70s, who taught Kaufer and his roommates how to grow vegetables, irrigate, cultivate, fertilize and make compost. Kelley also showed them how to make homemade goat cheese and other satisfying life skills that come with the gardening and farming life. “Gardening connects us to the earth and to nature,” said Kaufer, who nowadays focuses more on growing native plants like milkweed, sages, elderberry, datura, mugwort and others. “It’s what philosopher Terence McKenna calls the ‘felt presence of immediate experience.’ It’s the perfect antidote for the impersonal side of the computer-based existence we all find ourselves in to some degree.” The act of making compost alone connects Kaufer to the cycle of life, death and rebirth, and creates a sense of being part of the oneness of all life. “I’m recycling garden and kitchen waste back into rich soil for future plantings instead of sending it to the landfill,” he said. “That gives me peace of mind and helps me sleep better at

night.” While Kaufer can’t cite an experience where gardening cured him of a specific ailment, “It has healed me in the original Old English translation of ‘to heal’ meaning ‘to make whole,’ ” he said. “When I feel anxious or out of sorts, too caught up in the pace of modern life, gardening slows me down,” he noted. “It’s quiet, too. Plants don’t talk back. They engage in nonverbal communication and show their appreciation for your attention by growing and producing flowers and food.”

LINK BETWEEN NATURE AND HEALING

More than 80 percent of the U.S. population, and more than 50 percent of all people in the world, live in urbanized areas, according to Green Cities: Good Health, a website that provides an overview of the scientific evidence of human health and well-being benefits provided by urban forestry and urban greening. Nature in cities and towns includes parks, gardens, trees, small landscapes and natural areas, all of which provide many benefits. “Given the high population densities of urban areas, every bit of nearby nature has the potential to benefit hundreds to thousands of people daily,” according to Green Cities: Good Health, which noted that studies in health-care settings show a link between nature and healing. For instance, nature contact may serve to supplement or augment medical treatment and therapy; and both passive exposure to landscapes and more active interactions with nature provide mental and physiological benefits that contribute to healing and therapy. In an effort to indicate the benefits, Green Cities: Good Health offered the following fast facts: • Hospital patients with plants in their rooms display less fatigue and pain, shorter hospitalization, less anxiety and higher hospital and room satisfaction. • Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain who participated in a four-week horticultural therapy program experienced an increase in mental and physical health as well as an improved ability to cope with chronic pain. • A study of children with Attention Deficit Disorder who played in windowless indoor settings had significantly more severe symptoms than those who played in grassy, outdoor spaces. • Patients with clinical depression who participated in routine therapeutic gardening activities experienced a reduction of severity of

depression, and increased attentional capacity, benefits that lasted up to three months after the program ended. • Gardening may be a preventive measure to help reduce the onset of dementia; gardening on a daily basis was found to reduce risk factors for dementia by 36 percent. • Dementia patients who have access to gardens are less likely to display aggression or experience injuries be show improved sleep patterns, balanced hormones, and decreased agitation.

PROMOTES MEDITATIVE AWARENESS AND PEACE

Gardening can be an excellent way to experience certain kinds of physical healing — and from an exercise science point of view, it entails movements that are compatible with kinetic therapies, said Sam Thomas, of Thousand Oaks, who operates a one-third-acre garden on the campus of California Lutheran University. “It’s called the SEEd Project — stands for Sustainable Edible Education — and each year we engage hundreds of students, faculty, staff and members of the broader community,” said Thomas, who also teach courses including “Religion and Ecological Ethics” and “Food, Religion, and the Environment.” “From a mental health perspective, gardening can help with anxiety and depression, among other issues, and I’m aware for example that veterans of the U.S. military have found gardening and farming to be helpful in dealing with PTSD,” Thomas said. From the spiritual side of things, “gardening helps to reorient people to a more holistic view of the world, in which we find ourselves part of broader ecosystems and human communities,” he said. “Gardening can become a kind of devotional practice that brings meditative awareness and peace.”

A WAY TO RECONNECT

Nature deficit disorder is real, and its effects are felt by most of us who live in contemporary, developed societies, Thomas noted. “We are evolved for deep contact and interaction with the natural world, and yet our daily lives tend to be structured in a way that separates us from our ecological contexts,” he said. “Gardening is a way to reconnect and experience what has been bred in our bones.” Additionally, gardening requires attention and observation, “which means suspending whatever other cares and concerns we may have in favor of the tasks at hand,” he continued. “Seeding, weeding, pruning, planting, composting, harvesting, eating … as we attend to the necessities of a well functioning garden, we become less anxious and more connected to the real world.”

BENEFITS OF HORTICULTURAL THERAPY

Preliminary studies have reported the benefits of horticultural therapy and garden settings in reduction of pain, improvement in attention, lessening of stress, modulation of agitation, lowering of as needed medications, antipsychotics and reduction of falls, according to “What Is the Evidence to Support the Use of Therapeutic Gardens for the Elderly?” published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. This literature review presented the data supporting future studies of the effects of natural settings for the long-term care and rehabilitation of the elderly having the medical and mental health problems frequently occurring with aging. The review noted that horticultural therapy employs plants and gardening activities in therapeutic and rehabilitation activities to improve human well-being. According to the review, horticultural ther-

The garden for the Sustainable Edible Education program at California Lutheran University. apy and exposure to gardens has been shown to have positive benefits for the elderly. Indoor gardening has been reported to be effective for improving sleep, agitation and cognition in dementia patients. As a cognitive therapy, horticultural therapy helps clients learn new skills and regain lost skills. “It is a restorative technique to improve memory, attention, sense of responsibility and social interaction with few to no adverse side effects,” the review indicated. “Moreover, horticultural therapy has been found to reduce stress, to increase feelings of calm and relaxation, to foster a sense of accomplishment and to improve self-esteem.” Gardening is also an excellent way to get physical activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which notes that active people are less likely than inactive people to be obese or have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, depression, colon cancer and premature death.

CAN AFFECT OUTLOOK ON LIFE

Kathy Boals, president of the Conejo Orchid Society, was first exposed to gardening by her paternal grandfather, who was a groundskeeper and gardener for the Los Angeles City Parks Department and loved all things plant-related. “His garden in Highland Park had no lawn

but was a wonderland of sub-tropical fruit trees —banana, sapote, avocado, carob — as well as many other kinds of ornamental and fruitproducing plants, vines and shrubs,” recalled Boals of Newbury Park. “He composted all his trash and even buried metal food cans so that they would provide minerals for his trees,” she continued. “He taught me how to save and plant seeds, properly harvest fruits and vegetables plus passed on a plethora of other great old-fashioned gardening knowledge. As a child I grew a few vegetables in my parents’ garden but only started gardening in earnest once I had a home of my own.” Gardening not only provides one with a lovely environment, food and flowers, but can really affect a person’s mood and outlook on life, Boals noted. “In times of stress, illness or just day to day aggravation, working in the garden can really have a great healing effect,” she said. “A garden is a living thing and, like a child or a pet, needs attention on a daily basis. Just knowing that there is something that needs your attention can really boost your mental and physical energy. Even if you can only manage to water a few things, you feel better knowing that you have accomplished something important.” Another way that gardening heals us is through the simple act of enjoying the sheer beauty of nature.

“When you are a gardener, you want to get up in the morning and see what flowers have opened, what seeds have sprouted, what fruit has ripened and so much more,” Boals said. She believes that gardening truly gives you a reason for living. Gardening also teaches us things that can be very valuable when life isn’t going so well, she noted, such as patience, persistence and creative thinking. “Seeds or plants planted today may not produce or bloom for months or even years,” Boals said. “Pests destroy your favorite and hard-won seedlings but you keep going, knowing that you can try again. There are other varieties of plants that may do better for you, and you can often come up with very creative ways to foil pests. A good gardener never gives up entirely — they just take another approach.” Since being exposed to gardening through her paternal grandfather, “I don’t think I would be happy without at least some kind of garden.” “Just going into the garden lifts my spirits and gets me revved up for the future,” Boals said. “A garden is always changing, challenging the gardener and giving immense pleasure.” There is aggravation, too, she noted, “but dealing with that as well as the planning, daily

chores, successes and failures in a garden really help to train us to handle what life outside the garden throws at us. You can always take out your frustrations by digging out the stump of that bush that didn’t quite work out.”

YOU DON’T NEED A GREEN THUMB

You don’t have to have a green thumb or be an expert to reap the benefits of gardening, Hines said. Rather, one must have “just the ability to care and nurture plants and a willingness to allow oneself to be in a calm reflective place to absorb all of the healing energy which plants give us humans,” he said. Boals has heard many people say, “I love flowers but I kill everything — I just can’t garden.” “Not true,” she emphasized. “Anyone who is willing to put forth just a small effort to learn the basics can garden.” Don’t forget that even the best gardeners had to start small and learn the hard way, she said. “All of us have killed our share of plants and still have failures — that’s what the compost heap is for; get rid of the evidence,” she See Gardening Page 17

Female lens

Santa Paula celebrates women film directors with LUNAFEST by Emily Savage

emilyannesavage@gmail.com

here are currently more than two male short-film directors for every one female director, and there’s at least one festival that’s actively working to change that. LUNAFEST, the first all-woman traveling film festival, has had the goal of celebrating and amplifying the voices of female directors to a wider audience since it began in 2000. In addition, it hopes to inspire more women to make short films and to get major festivals such as Sundance and South by Southwest to take notice. “We want to flip the script. We want audiences to laugh, cry and see the women’s stories

and the women’s directing talent that is out there, but missing from their local multiplex,” says LUNAFEST Program Manager Suzy Starke German. The first event was just one small screening but LUNAFEST is now in 175 cities across the U.S. The festival features a program of six to 10 short films and will come to Santa Paula on Friday, June 20. Each stop on the tour has a beneficiary, and the local one will be the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley, which also serves as the festival’s host. “After we inherited this event last year, it was clear there was still interest in this worthwhile cause of celebrating women while supporting the children from the communities of Fillmore, Piru and Santa Paula,” says Jenae Quintana of the Boys & Girls Club of Santa

Clara Valley. This year’s LUNAFEST lineup features a wide array of subjects and styles. There’s Girls Level Up from Anne Edgar about a young Pakistani woman who helps middle-school girls in Silicon Valley design their own video game; Fanny Pack, a comedy by director-actor Uttera Singh about a spunky Indian-American woman and her father following their dreams; Buttercup, directed, written by and starring Megan Brotherton as a woman struggling to find joy after her mother’s death; and Yours Sincerely, Lois Weber by Svetlana Cvetko, a tribute to the highest-paid silent-film director at Universal Studios in the early 1900s. A few standouts include Waiting for Hassana and JessZilla. The former, by Nigerian filmmaker Ifunanya Maduka, premiered at Sundance in 2017

and picks up after the extremist organization Boko Haram kidnapped 276 teenage girls from a town in Nigeria in 2014. It’s described as “a harrowing first-person account of one girl’s escape from captivity and a heart-wrenching lament for her closest friend, Hassana — one of the many girls still unaccounted for.” JessZilla is lighter fare but with an emotional punch. The film by director Emily Sheskin follows then-10-year-old boxer Jesselyn “JessZilla” Silva. In a 2017 New York Times opinion piece about her film, Sheskin noted: “It’s no secret that women’s boxing has nowhere near the participants — or the money, or the audience — that men’s boxing has.” The short shows both female strength and vulnerability and explores what it means to dream as a young female athlete in a maledominated combat sport. While you can see Jesselyn’s clear drive and desire to succeed as a boxer, the film also includes conversations with her father, who seems both incredibly proud and endlessly worried about her sticking with a sport in which she’ll be hurt. Writes Sheskin in the N.Y. Times piece, “Pedro is not the kind of dad who is pushing his daughter to do something she isn’t interested in and, instead, is following his daughter’s lead, supporting her as best he can.” That support is clear in JessZilla, as is their unique relationship. While all the short films are wildly different, there’s a core thread running among them: They focus on the female perspective. “[The films] are entertaining, evocative and memorable,” says German of the LUNAFEST lineup. “It features great storytelling and films that champion the female perspective behind and in front of the camera.” In addition to the individual charities and organizations that will be benefiting from the fest, LUNAFEST announced a new beneficiary and partner this year: Chicken & Egg Pictures. The nonprofit organization provides mentorship and financial support to female nonfiction filmmakers. “Not only have the films gained recognition, but they have made an impact on social and economic issues,” says German. “Together, LUNAFEST and Chicken & Egg Pictures are creating a strong community for women in ✦ the film industry.” LUNAFEST takes place on Friday, July 20, at 6 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley, 1400 Harvard Blvd., Santa Paula.

Parental advisory Raising them right with Dad Brains

chris@armyoffreshmen.com

rom the screaming to the sleepless nights to the endless parade of bodily fluids, having a newborn is similar to the experience of touring in a punk rock band. It’s that realization that’s led to one of the more interesting musical projects in recent memory, Dad Brains. It all started, oddly enough, at a time when the brains behind Dad Brains, Pat Pedraza, found out he was going to be a father to a baby girl at the age of 40. The musician and actor, who admittedly thought he would never have kids, was shocked, excited and, like all first-time fathers-to-be, a little scared. When the 7-pound, 11-ounce bundle of joy was born, however, he was overwhelmed with unconditional love as well as something that artists aren’t as free to discuss: the feeling that your career is on hold, if not completely over. Pedraza was in several successful projects over the years, including No Motiv, which was arguably the biggest band ever to come out of Oxnard. No Motiv was one of the first bands on the legendary indie label Vagrant Records, toured nationally opening for a who’s who of big bands, and released a series of sorely overlooked, aheadof-their time records. Unfortunately, cult status doesn’t necessarily lay the financial foundation for a 40-year-old first-time father to support a family over a decade later, never mind an acting career that requires a vow of poverty and endless days spent auditioning in L.A. Bottom line: It looked as if Pedraza’s two professional ambitions were about to take a permanent back seat. But sometimes inspiration and opportunity strike when you least expect it. One night on the way to the store for yet another diaper mission, Pedraza had his Eureka moment.

It hit him that all these new experiences as a parent, both the joyous and the stressful, were ripe for songwriting material. Literally shouting out lyric ideas as he drove, he was hit with a vision, creating a hardcore punk band with songs for and about parenting. Immediately contacting fellow dad and guitarist Matt “Matty” Kash (also a Ventura County punk stalwart), in just one session the two began banging out songs that would make their first EP. Then Kash came up with the perfect name. It was not only an homage to their punk roots, but also a clever explanation of the new project: Dad Brains. Pedraza and Kash recruited fellow dads John Crerar and Craig Kasamis, both with Ventura County punk rock pedigrees, to round out the rhythm section, and in no time the band had enough material for an EP. Recording with Roger Camero, one of Pedraza’s old partners in No Motiv and now one of the most sought-after producers and engineers in the punk and hardcore scenes, Dad Brains

busted out a five-song EP that clocked in under 10 minutes and which was released on Father’s Day weekend, naturally. Just like parenthood, Dad Brains’ self-titled debut release is fast, furious and awesome. One listen to tracks like “Baby Jail” and “I’m Old” and it’s clear that the band is just having a great time. One departure: Dad Brains keeps it clean. As Pedraza points out, “We’ve got to set a good example.” With members who have extensive backgrounds in the hardcore punk community and the help of the Internet, Dad Brains is legitimately getting out there — despite not playing any shows. EP and T-shirt sales are coming in from foreign countries, the band’s first video is racking up solid views on YouTube, and its members are working with a label to release the EP on vinyl. What’s really exciting, though, is that Dad Brains isn’t just a one-time, one-off side project. Pedraza, who has always been the type of guy to run with a good idea and make big things happen, is bustling with plans for the future.

“I’d love to release an EP or at least a single every Father’s Day . . . forever,” laughs Pedraza. “I could definitely see a Christmas EP, too. The material is just endless. Every day there’s a new scenario with my daughter and I’m like, ‘Well, there’s a new Dad Brains.’ If it catches on in any way, that’s great. But if not, we’re having a great time. I love my daughter and my family and I love how it’s brought all this unexpected inspiration and a brand-new band.” And last but not least, the question that’s on everyone’s mind: With a band comprising four of the scene’s most popular members, who have spent half their lives on the road, will there ever be a Dad Brains live show? Pedraza is blunt with the answer. “Yes . . . but we may have to do it acoustic because we’re expecting a big turnout from the local toddler community.” ✦ For music and more information, visit www. facebook.com/DadBrainsMusic.

Dressed in argyle, plaid, horn-rimmed glasses and neckties, the geeky band of music makers — The Kevin (vocals), Ruben (guitar), Syd Sonic (drums) and Mr. Wilkinson (bass) — pranced, danced and brought 1980s music back into the spotlight. Such hits as Tommy Tutone’s “867-5309/Jenny,” Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” and the a-ha classic, “Take on Me,” were delivered with verve, expertise and no small amount of humor — a fitting salute to the MTV Generation.

Sorry to Bother You American colonialism takes a solid left hook by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Sorry to Bother You Directed by Boots Riley Starring: Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler Rated R for pervasive language, some strong sexual content, graphic nudity and drug use 1 hr., 45 min.

rom out of nowhere, for your summer’s entertainment, a little film about white power, modern slavery and a coke-snorting plot twist that turns workers into hard-working half-horse, half-men. Is this social commentary or sci-fi? It’s definitely satirical and done with such unapologetic audaciousness that you don’t seem to mind taking punches to the face and having your nose rubbed in white privilege. Take note, corporate America and closed-door old-boy networks. Black artists are gunning for you. First, the comedic horror of Get Out. Now this. No subtlety here. This is all-out, upyours brutal. It’s an alternative version of Oakland, where a company called WorryFree is advertising the possibility of getting your bills paid and having food and housing in your back pocket. What it does say is what you need to give up to sign up. And since this is voluntary, it’s not really slavery if you agree to the contract. Right? Meanwhile, Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) and his girlfriend, Detroit (Tessa Thompson), are living hand to mouth in his Uncle Sergio’s (Terry Crews) garage. Everyone’s out of cash and about to lose their shirts. Sergio wants his rent money. Cassius needs a job. But the only job he can land is at a telemarketing company called RegalView, where his friend Salvador (Jermaine Fowler) says they’ll take anyone, even pot-smoking BSers like Cassius, who tries to lie his way in the door. RegalView sees through it but considers him a go-getter. The problem is that Cassius is not very convincing on the phone. In fact, he’s a terrible salesman.

In what will someday be viewed as a classic piece of dialogue, an old-timer named Langston (Danny Glover) convinces Cassius to sell by using his white voice. White voice? Yeah, you didn’t know the difference? It turns out that Cassius has a talent for voices, one that starts to pay off big-time when he is promoted up the ranks as a so-called power caller. And then things start to get really weird. Lavish parties. One of the funniest (and worst) raps I’ve ever heard. And let me ask you: If someone as world-renowned as Steve Lift (Armie Hammer) offered you $100 million to become an equisapien for five years, would you do it? And what is an equisapien? Ah, the fun begins. Director and writer Boots Riley knows his radical roots. He was born into the black socialist politics of Chicago, Detroit and Oakland in the early 1970s. He has been making political hip-hop albums since 1991. Now he’s taken all that black power and filled Sorry to Bother You to the brim. Turns out, he’s not sorry at all. This film is rough, deliberately low-budget and doesn’t care if it’s offensive or politically incorrect. What it seeks is your attention; and in its writing and storyline, it’s doing exactly what the director wants — making you laugh at yourself. In this case, comedy is a power drill to the forehead. Funny, as in lunatic funny, outlandishly funny, irreverently funny. And filled with the conflict between ideological protest and the need to make money, lots of money, funny. Remember Occupy Wall Street? This is Riley’s version of Occupy Wall Street shoved right down our throats. His view: Those people that Wall Streeters laughed at while they were camped out in the snow? They’re coming to get you. So if you’re looking for a nice family film, probably best to avoid Sorry to Bother You. If, however, you don’t mind sarcasm, satire, outlandish racial profiling, horses, orgies, unionization, bad T.V., soda cans, social media buzz, left-wing politics, sex and frequent drug use, then you’ll enjoy this film. At least until you realize that Riley may actually be bringing those equisapiens right to your doorstep, and they aren’t selling vacuum cleaners. ♦

Ojai Vineyard:

IN GOOD TASTE

vcreporter.com

Quality over a quarter century The Ojai Vineyard 109 S. Montgomery St. Ojai 805-798-3947

by Michael Cervin Some wineries are known by their reputations even before you try their wines. Such is the case with The Ojai Vineyard and its nearly iconic owner and winemaker Adam Tolmach. There are a thousand decisions when you make wine (I know, I’ve done it) yet somehow The Ojai Vineyard manages to get all these things right. “Our wines differ from others due to the experience of Adam, who has relentlessly pursued high-quality viticulture and winemaking for the last 35 years,” general manager Fabien Castel tells me when I visit on a warm May afternoon. “Adam has been a trailblazer pushing boundaries in what was technically and aesthetically possible, and we now find ourselves at the forefront of making more subtle and delicate wines.” Delicate is right. There is very little oak in these wines and they are more nuanced and understated than mass-produced wines. Also understated is the tasting room. It’s light and airy with plenty of windows with a cool glassed-in barrel room, and stained concrete floors. It presents a minimalist feel, echoing the wines. And though they

don’t offer food, you are allowed to bring in food to the inside tables or the patio, and, yes, dogs are allowed on the patio, too. Locally the wines are carried by Paradise Pantry, Rhumb Line, and Ojai Valley Inn but you’ll also find them as far-flung as Stockholm, London, Paris, even Tokyo. “Our visitors include locals, random visitors discovering Ojai, and a dedicated following who make a point to stop by to sample what we offer at the tasting room only, especially the library and reserve flights,” Castel told me. The tasting room is open seven days a week from noon to 7 p.m. Tasting fees are $17 for typically, five wines, and wines offered by the glass are $10-$15. Also offered are “library flights” that might include wines over a decade old, and their tasting menu changes monthly. 2017 rosé Made from carignan, syrah and Grenache, this is a clean, focused wine with lemon-lime, brulée, kiwi and raspberry notes and a slight nuttiness. 2014 Solomon Hills pinot noir A wonderfully complex wine with notes of sage, fresh flowers, earth, red raspberry pepper and cola; a subdued version of pinot. 2014 syrah, John Sebastiano A small-production wine (350 cases) from a cool-climate region producing pepper spice, dark raspberry, earthy and clay minerality; deep and brooding. ♦

Bread made fresh daily, savory quiches, artisan sandwiches, almond croissants, desserts, specialty coffees and more make Café du Suro a mainstay bakery on Main Street.

It’s a fair point that several food trends may well have reached saturation levels across the U.S. and certainly here in Southern California. Breweries, pop-ups, food trucks and coffee houses to name a few. But that doesn’t mean they’re not worth trying. After all, choice is the ultimate American virtue. Take Cafe du Suro on Main Street in Ventura. All the requisite clichés are there: rustic interior? Check. Large tables for spreading out for work or play? Check. Couch and comfy seating areas? Check. Local? Double check. To the extent that this is not a typical national chain, Café du Suro feels like Ventura. Sitting, as it does, close to the Mission and near the thrum and vibrant center of Main Street, a Saturday visit was replete with a couple sitting street-side with their well-mannered, happy and faithful dog in tow. All the baked goods, French and rustic by name and appearance, are made in-house at the cafe. Pastries positively ooze with butter. The apple almond pastry was of particular joy, and it was not lost on me that several hours later I wasn’t hungry. Calorie-counting not advised, but we sallied on with more anyway. The lunch items, however, go far beyond what’s normally expected from a Main Street cafe. Our small cadre raved about the home-baked bread for sandwiches, reminiscent of fresh daily breads in Europe, which are

so inviting. The quiche also, layered with cheese, fresh tomatoes and a side salad of fresh greens, could have come from my wife’s own kitchen, a specialty in which she excels. Pastrami, made at the cafe, is the focal point of the Reuben sandwich on house-made rye topped with sauerkraut. It’s more than lunch; it’s a truly elegant sandwich as good as any you’ll find on the West Coast. The Monte Cristo sandwich, normally a kind of brunch item with French toast bookending ham and cheese, fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar, was a revelation in sandwich making. Brie cheese joins in with the ubiquitous Swiss, and it’s melted atop and in the homemade bread, while ham and brie cheese come together inside — and this sandwich never saw a deep-fat fryer. Astoundingly good. Cost is yet another coffee house factor and it’s a good one in this case. The lunch menu is not expensive, and for such artisanal goodness it’s something of a surprise. The Reuben and the Monte Cristo were $8 each, for example, and that’s a price you’ll pay for a burger in some places, and not a great burger. The fact is, Café du Suro is much more than a coffee house. It’s a genuine competitor in the independent and local food movement and a welcome one at that. What ultimately stands out at the cafe, though, is the genuine sense of local and welcome, features that really do set eating establishments apart. The food surpasses “good” and goes to “great,” especially the quiche and sandwiches, but the local here is really in the vibe, the street, the staff and the guests. Café Du Suro belongs on Main Street, willing itself into the city’s veins with hours open seven days a week. Can you ask much more from a coffee house on Main Street? ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

“Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.” Whenever that quote appears on the Internet, it’s falsely attributed to painter Frida Kahlo. In fact, it was originally composed by poet Marty McConnell. In any case, I’ll recommend that you heed it in the coming weeks. You really do need to focus on associating with allies who see the mysterious and lyrical best in you. I will also suggest that you get inspired by a line that Frida Kahlo actually wrote: “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are a bourbon biscuit.” (If you don’t know what a bourbon biscuit is, I’ll tell you: chocolate buttercream stuffed between two thin rectangular chocolate biscuits.)

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Here’s what author Franz Kafka wrote in his diary on Aug. 2, 1914: “Germany has declared war on Russia. I went swimming in the afternoon.” We could possibly interpret his nonchalance about world events to be a sign of callous self-absorption. But I recommend that you cultivate a similar attitude in the coming weeks. In accordance with astrological omens, you have the right and the need to shelter yourself from the vulgar insanity of politics and the pathological mediocrity of mainstream culture. So feel free to spend extra time focusing on your own well-being. (P.S.: Kafka’s biographer says that swimming served this role for him. It enabled him to access deep unconscious reserves of pleasurable power that renewed his spirit.)

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Am I delusional to advise a perky, talkative Gemini like yourself to enhance your communication skills? How dare I even hint that you’re not quite perfect at a skill you were obviously born to excel at? But that’s

by rob brezsny

exactly what I’m here to convey. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to take inventory of how you could more fully develop your natural ability to exchange information. You’ll be in robust alignment with cosmic rhythms if you take action to refine the way you express your own messages and receive and respond to other people’s messages.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Self-described skeptics sometimes say to me, “How can any intelligent person believe in astrology? You must be suffering from a brain dysfunction if you imagine that the movements of planets can reveal any useful clues about our lives.” If the “skeptic” is truly open-minded, as an authentic skeptic should be, I offer a mini-lecture to correct his misunderstandings. If he’s not (which is the usual case), I say that I don’t need to “believe” in astrology; I use astrology because it works. For instance, I have a working hypothesis that Cancerians like myself enjoy better-than-average insight and luck with money every year from late July through the month of August. It’s irrelevant whether there’s a “scientific” theory to explain why this might be. I simply undertake efforts to improve my financial situation at this time, and I’m often successful.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Here are some of the fine gifts you’re eligible for and even likely to receive during the next four weeks: a more constructive and fluid relationship with obsession; a panoramic look at what lies below the tip of the metaphorical iceberg; a tear-jerking joyride that cracks open your sleeping sense of wonder; erasure of at least 20 percent of your self-doubt; vivid demonstrations of the excitement available from slowing down and taking your sweet time; and a surprising and useful truth delivered to your soul by your body.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

During the last three months of 2018, I suspect you will dismantle or outgrow a foundation. Why? So as to prepare the way for building or finding a new foundation in 2019. From next January onward, I predict that you will re-imagine the meaning of home. You’ll grow fresh roots and come to novel conclusions about the influences that enable you to feel secure and stable. The reason I’m revealing these clues ahead of time is because now is a good time to get a foreshadowing of how to proceed. You can glean insights on where to begin your work.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

A reader asked Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle, “How does one become more sensual?” I’ll ask you to meditate on the same question. Why? Because it’s a good time to enrich and deepen your sensuality. For inspiration, here are some ideas that blend my words with Cardelle’s: “Laugh easily and freely. Tune in to the rhythm of your holy animal body as you walk. Sing songs that remind you why you’re here on earth. Give yourself the luxury of reading books that thrill your imagination and fill you with fresh questions. Eat food with your fingers. Allow sweet melancholy to snake through you. Listen innocently to people, being warm-hearted and slyly wild. Soak up colors with your eager eyes. Whisper grateful prayers to the sun as you exult in its gifts.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“If people aren’t laughing at your goals, your goals are too small.” So says bodybuilder Kai Greene. I don’t know if I would personally make such a brazen declaration, but I do think it’s worth considering — especially for you right now. You’re entering into the Big Bold Vision time of your astrological cycle. It’s a phase when you’ll be wise to boost the intensity

of your hopes for yourself, and get closer to knowing the ultimate form of what you want, and be daring enough to imagine the most sublime possible outcomes for your future. If you do all that with the proper chutzpah, some people may indeed laugh at your audacity. That’s OK!

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

This mini-chapter in your epic life story is symbolically ruled by the fluttering flights of butterflies, the whirring hum of hummingbird wings, the soft cool light of fireflies and the dawn dances of seahorses. To take maximum advantage of the blessings life will tease you with in the coming weeks, I suggest you align yourself with phenomena like those. You will tend to be alert and receptive in just the right ways if you cultivate a love of fragile marvels, subtle beauty and amazing grace.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

I swear the astrological omens are telling me to tell you that you have license to make the following requests: 1. People from your past who say they’d like to be part of your future have to prove their earnestness by forgiving your debts to them and asking your forgiveness for their debts to you. 2. People who are pushing for you to be influenced by them must agree to be influenced by you. 3. People who want to deepen their collaborations with you must promise to deepen their commitment to wrestling with their own darkness. 4. People who say they care for you must prove their love in a small but meaningful way.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You will never find an advertisement for Nike or Apple within the sacred vessel of this horoscope column. But you may come across plugs for soul-

nourishing commodities like creative freedom, psychosexual bliss and playful generosity. Like everyone else, I’m a salesperson — although I believe that the wares I peddle are unambiguously good for you. In this spirit, I invite you to hone your own sales pitch. It’s an excellent time to interest people in the fine products and ideas and services that you have to offer.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Would you do me a favor, please? Would you do your friends and loved ones and the whole world a favor? Don’t pretend you’re less powerful and beautiful than you are. Don’t downplay or neglect the magic you have at your disposal. Don’t act as if your unique genius is nothing special. OK? Are you willing to grant us these small indulgences? Your specific talents, perspectives and gifts are indispensable right now. The rest of us need you to be bold and brazen about expressing them. Homework: Tell a story about the time Spirit reached down and altered your course in one tricky, manic swoop. Freewillastrology.com

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.
