Pros and cons of gang injunctions F

ighting so-called organized crime is not easy. When it comes to criminal street gang activity, preventing it through gang injunctions actually has worked, according to at least one study.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, a gang injunction is a restraining order against a group. It is a civil suit that seeks a court order declaring the gang’s public behavior a nuisance and asking for special rules directed toward its activity. Injunctions can address the neighborhood’s gang problem before it reaches the level of felony crime activity. But there is a cost: constitutional rights. In November 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that city of Orange police and Orange County prosecutors violated the Constitution by enforcing a gang injunction against residents of Orange County. Due to the court rulings, the Oxnard Police Department is considering alternatives to the gang injunctions that the department, after over a decade, suspended in late April/early May. On Tuesday, July 17, Oxnard Police Department sought Oxnard City Council’s approval of an ordinance establishing “gang membership determination” hearings that would impose restrictions for those who met the criteria. The City Council tabled the matter in lieu of public input. There are several things to consider over this issue.

According to the study “Do Gang Injunctions Reduce Violent Crime? Four Tests in Merseyside, UK,” published in December 2017 in the Cambridge Journal of EvidenceBased Policing, injunctions resulted in significant decreases in criminal gang activity.

The study focused on the criminal histories of 36 members of four gangs for a 36-month period before and a 36-month period after their court-ordered injunctions. The findings: Individual criminal offences dropped by 70 percent in the three years after the gang injunctions. Fewer criminal events were attributed to 92 percent of the individuals in the second three-year period than in the first, while only 8 percent increased their detected activity.

The Cambridge study seems like valid proof that the injunctions are effective, at least in England. But that study didn’t consider the cost to personal rights.

In December, the L.A. Times reported in the article “Thousands freed from L.A. gang injunctions that controlled their movements, friendships, even dress choices” the severity of the restrictions imposed via gang injunctions, especially for people who claim they were not in a gang. In L.A. roughly 8,900 people were restricted by gang injunctions, but 7,300 were released from them last year after a purge by the L.A. District Attorney in the midst of the debate of the constitutionality of gang injunctions.

An Echo Park resident who said he was not a gang member relayed that “he was prohibited from associating in public with his father and two of his childhood friends. He

couldn’t wear a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey, despite living less than a mile from Dodger Stadium, because the team’s gear was considered gang paraphernalia under the injunction,” according the L.A. Times story.

It’s also unclear if lifting the injunctions resulted in higher criminal gang activity since then.

In Oxnard, there were 368 gang members served with one of the two gang injunctions.

Under the proposed ordinance for gang determination, the criteria would include any, several or all of the following: • Any gang-related tattoos • Made any admissions to gang membership • Sustained any gang-related arrests or convictions • Been observed at gang-related gatherings • Been witnessed making any gang-related gestures • Associated with other known gang members • Spray painted or written any gang-related markings The criteria, however, to identify current gang members is similar to criteria of the original 2005-2006 Oxnard gang injunctions criteria.

Going down such a similar path that stirred the lawsuits about the constitutionality of the injunctions seems like a counterproductive use of time. Further, the 2015 National Gang Report by the FBI, a study of gang activity nationally in the prior two years, concluded that street gangs “do not show signs of decreasing membership nor declining activity.” As for Oxnard gang activity, the VCStar reported in September 2017 that lack of localized crime data makes the effectiveness of the gang injunctions difficult to measure. Surely, injunctions have been a standard for a long time, so what is the evidence currently being used to prove their efficacy?

Oxnard Police Chief Scott Whitney, the City Council, city leaders and the community at large should discuss alternatives that have actually proven to work in the United States or try new ideas, given the detrimental effects of restricting personal rights protected by the Constitution. Perhaps the best people to talk to are the people who have been impacted by the prior injunctions. Seeking to understand may lead to a viable solution.

We look forward to progressive ideas that better address the needs of residents who feel that gangs are their only hope. And for the rest involved in the matter, punishing people who fit a stereotype but are not the stereotype is wholly unfair and unjust.

Fireworks in Ojai Fireworks — a privilege and greatly anticipated event, especially when you are a kid!

I remember growing up in Ojai when the fireworks were set off on the golf course at the Ojai Valley Inn. The community was welcome to come spread a blanket on the grass, and we kids had a memorable time out in the dark waiting for the fireworks to begin.

What I miss is the leisurely pace between the explosions of light, color and patterns in the sky. We need a moment for the mind’s eye to appreciate that display and a breath to express our delight. In the past, we had that moment in between events to ask, “What’s next?”

I risk being an old curmudgeon but need to say that the present-day pace is too fast for deep enjoyment. I feel overpowered by thoughts of the financial and environmental costs of the extreme number of fireworks and the frenzy at which they go. Associations of war spring into my mind, especially with the history of “shock and awe.” Those of us with pets in the area go to great lengths to keep them calm.

Could we not have a gentler Fourth and put the financial backing we save to use in our schools and public works?

President violates his oath daily When he took the oath of office in January 2017 Donald Trump swore that he would “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He violates his oath virtually daily with caustic verbal attacks on individuals and organizations who are exercising their rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Sadly, Congressional leaders stay silent and many citizens publicly cheer this unacceptable conduct. We are at a new low point in the history of the U.S. presidency.

Shifting sands on beach access

One Silver Strand parking lot closed yet again to the ire of state officials

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

For the parking lot at La Jenelle Park, the drama continues.

The beach, named for the La Jenelle shipwreck off the Oxnard coast near to the Silver Strand neighborhood, has been open and closed several times over the past decade. In 2014, the lot was closed following debate over whose responsibility it was, Ventura County’s or the state’s, to foot the cost of needed pavement repairs and sand removal. In 2015, the lot re-opened. Two years later, the 20-space parking lot is closed yet again to all but foot traffic for a different set of reasons.

Now the California Coastal Commission and some local residents are asking the Ventura County Harbor Department to explain the reasoning behind its decision.

A LITTLE HISTORY

In 2014, the issue was sand and pavement repairs. The road leading to the lot, Victoria Avenue, had been covered in a thick layer of sand, and without regular maintenance became unsafe for vehicles. After a contentious back-and-forth pitting the state against the county, in 2015, the lot was reopened, the sand was cleared and repairs were made. In the fall of 2017, however, the gate leading to the beach was locked again, barring access to anyone not on foot, forcing visitors to park in the adjacent neighborhood.

According to the 1974 contract between the state of California acting as the State Land Commission and Ventura County, the county

— July 26, 2018

is responsible for the “maintenance and operation” of the jetty and the parking facilities, which include the removal of litter and, in regard to the parking lot, “the accomplishment of any resurfacing which may from time to time become necessary.”

The reasoning behind the latest closure, however, has more to do with the safety of beachgoers, says Ventura County Harbor Director Mark Sandoval.

“Somehow, the word’s gotten out that if you bring a four-by-four you have free access to the beach,” said Sandoval. “Vehicles were getting on the sand and intermixing with beachgoers, creating a dangerous situation.”

Sandoval, who took his position as director in early July, says that on top of the off-road vehicle danger, partygoers were congregating at the beach at night, disturbing neighbors, and that because the lot is not visible from the road, the area attracts illegal activities. What’s more, rusted pieces of metal from the La Jenelle itself have been washing ashore, creating hazards.

FINGER POINTING

Jason Hodge, 43-year resident of Silver Strand, says that the county’s excuses for keeping the lot closed are “laughable” and that it has been “intentionally dragging its feet for years with no consequences.”

“This deprived the public of over two years

of access to state lands,” wrote Hodge in a letter to the board members of the California Coastal Commission, adding that “If there is a case for a fine or legal action, I can think of few more deserving. If strong enforcement is not imposed then I can guarantee [that] we will be back here again in a few more years.”

In April, the California Coastal Commission sent a letter to then-Channel Islands Harbor Director Lyn Krieger at the Ventura County Harbor Department alleging that the parking lot was closed without a “coastal development permit,” which the Commission says is required by the county’s Local Coastal Program and the California Coastal Act. Under the Local Coastal Program, the parking lot is considered a public accessway to the coast and is therefore protected. The closure of the lot, says the Commission, constitutes “development” as defined by the Local Coastal Program, in that it “adversely affects access to the coast by rendering a parking supply that supports coastal access unavailable for use by the public,” thus requiring a permit.

“The County could quickly resolve the matter by reopening the parking lot to public access, namely public vehicular access, including through opening the gate and clearing the access road and parking lot of sand,” reads the letter penned by Andrew Willis, the Southern California enforcement supervisor at the California Coastal Commission.

Sandoval says that his office responded to the letter in mid-July with pictures explaining that the department’s decision to close the lot is actually the opposite of what has been alleged.

OPEN THE GATES “Our argument is that keeping the gate open was impeding access to the beach, rather than the other way around,” said Sandoval, alluding to the off-road vehicles scaring beachgoers away. “With the gate closed we still have pedestrian and bike access.”

Sandoval concludes the letter to Willis by asking that the state withdraw its request to reopen the lot, and saying that the county has only received one complaint regarding a beachgoer parking on a residential street.

To alleviate the off-roading situation will take much effort, says Sandoval, adding that pillars would need to be installed along the lane leading to the lot. The lane, a one-way road, would become harder to traverse for twoway traffic should that be done, he says.

“Maybe there’s issues to deal with about management, but we don’t think that the approach should be closing it entirely,” said Willis. “This access road and parking lot provide a number of parking spots for people outside the community to enjoy the beach.”

Hodge says that there has been no enforcement to keep vehicles off the beach and that the county could fix the problem with signage and a large rock near the entrance, if the county wanted the lot open, that is.

“My position is that I want it open because it’s a public beach and it should be open; their position is that they want it closed, but their reasons change all the time,” said Hodge, adding that the county has a legal obligation to keep the lot open. “So what’s their excuse ✦ going to be next time?”

Political Roundup

In Brief VENTURA HOUSING AUTHORITY RECEIVES $1 MILLION

The Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura, in partnership with Montecito Bank & Trust, has won $1 million in funding from Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco’s Affordable Housing Program in support of future development sites at Willett Ranch and Rancho Verde in the city of Ventura.

FHLBank of San Francisco announced the grant on June 26, along with 70 other projects in seven states. The bank has previously granted the Housing Authority over $2 million in funds supporting other developments, including housing units for lowand very low-income seniors in west Ventura.

Willett Ranch and Rancho Verde will offer “three neighborhood parks, pedestrian-friendly streets and architecture styles that incorporate elements that promote social interaction,” according to the Housing Authority.

“This Housing Authority partnership with Montecito Bank & Trust contributes significantly to our efforts to provide affordable housing in an increasingly costly Ventura rental market,” said HACSB’s Chief Executive Officer Denise Wise. “These AHP funds will assist our community in housing agricultural workers and provide seniors a comfortable, affordable home for years to come.”

DALLAS COWBOYS RETURN TO OXNARD

Break out the Super Bowl LIII T-shirts and posters, the soonto-be-champion Dallas Cowboys return to Oxnard to begin their rigorous training ahead of the regular season.

The Cowboys camp, open to the public, begins on Thursday, July 26, with a 4 p.m. practice, and runs through Thursday, Aug. 16, at River Ridge Fields in Oxnard.

THOUSAND OAKS MIXED-USE PROPOSAL DEALS WITH TREES, TRAFFIC

The city of Thousand Oaks, ever vigilant in keeping its namesake true, protects the mighty trees that dot neighborhoods and garner admiration from visitors and residents alike, but a proposal to build a luxury apartment complex in the city has drawn concern from those worried that the development may come at the expense of the prized trees.

The Thousand Oaks Planning Commission recommended the proposal by Latigo Group by a 3-2 vote on July 9, sending it to the City Council. If approved, the proposal would see restaurants and shopping along with the high-end apartments.

The proposal allows for the removal of 23 protected trees from the property at 299 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. The city has in place an ordinance protecting the removal of trees without prior approval. Of the 23 to be removed, one is a valley oak estimated to be 300 years old.

As part of the deal, the developers would have to plant three times as many trees as are removed — a total of 69 — at Conejo Creek Southwest Park, which has yet to begin development.

The proposal now goes to the City Council for consideration.

SOCAL GAS PIPELINE PROJECT BEGINS IN VENTURA

Lane reductions are coming to Telephone Road in Ventura as SoCal Gas works to replace a 4.5-mile section of pipeline in the eastern part of the city.

The $41.2 million modernization project began on Monday, July 23, and is said to enhance “the reliability of SoCalGas’ natural gas pipeline system that serves 13,000 homes, 750 businesses and eight critical facilities in the city of Ventura.”

“Southern Californians prefer natural gas by a ratio of more than 4 to 1 over electricity to heat their homes and hot water,” said Maria Ventura, Public Affairs Manager for SoCalGas. “Modernizing our pipeline system to meet the needs of our community helps ensure we can continue to reliably provide natural gas service to our customers.”

The project is expected to be completed by early 2019.

IRWIN’S WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARASSMENT BILL SIGNED INTO LAW

Legislation authored by local Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, that addresses the issue of hiring repeat sexual offenders has been signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.

AB 2770 allows employers to speak openly about sexual harassment investigations without fear of potential litigation if questioned by a potential new employer in regard to a prospective employee, and makes it less likely that an accused harasser can file a defamation suit against the victim.

“As more stories of sexual harassment came to light this year, it became clear that businesses are afraid to let each other know when a person is fired for sexual harassment due to the threat of lawsuits,” said Irwin.

“This allows repeat harassers to continue to victimize women in the workplace as they move from job to job.”

The California Chamber of Commerce deemed the bill a “job creator” and it has the support of the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce.

“This law provides employers JACQUI IRWIN with the tools to be part of the sexual harassment solution, without the risk of liability,” said President and CEO of the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce Nancy Lindholm. “It is a great step forward. We applaud Assemblywoman Irwin for authoring the bill.”

BROWNLEY VISITS TEXAS BORDER DETENTION CENTER

Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, has taken part in site visits to facilities along the Texas border to assess progress made in reunifying migrant children with their parents.

“Today, I watched tearfully as children were finally reunited with their parents after they had been cruelly ripped apart from their parents by President [Donald] Trump’s senseless family separation policy,” said Brownley.

“Some of the children were hysterical as they saw their parents for the first time in far too long, clinging onto them for fear they would be taken away again.”

Brownley visited a Southern California detention center on July 5 with Representative Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, as well.

JULIA BROWNELY “Congress must address this humanitarian crisis and move forward with an immigration policy that actually reflects our values as a nation,” said Brownley. “The very soul of America depends on it.”

Brownley was joined by Reps. Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles), Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Commerce), Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois), and Terri Sewell (D-Alabama).

JACKSON’S DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDE BILL SIGNED INTO LAW

A bill that would provide training for law enforcement officers to identify victims of domestic violence whose lives are in danger has been signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, authored Senate Bill 1331. The bill expands law enforcement training to include a so-called domestic violence lethality training, a series of evidence-based questions that first responders can ask an abuse victim to determine the risk of a homicide, injury

or re-assault. Questions pertain to excessive jealousy, threatening suicide or homicide, heavy drug or alcohol use and others, which are often linked to violence.

Based on the responses, the officer can then trigger a “protocol referel” which immediately connects the victim to local services.

“Three women are murdered by an intimate partner every day in the U.S.,” said Jackson. “We HANNAH-BETH must do more to help victims of domestic violence access the tools they need to safely leave their partner before it’s too late.”

THOUSAND OAKS CHOOSES MARIJUANA DISPENSARY, MAYOR FORGOES RE-ELECTION

The City Council decided in early July which operator would be granted the sole medical marijuana dispensary permit. The winner: Legendary Organics, chosen not only for its business plan, but also its location, in an industrial lot on the city’s edge.

Legendary Organic’s partners include Patrick Spillane, who spoke at the Council meeting, Sean Cassar, who was not in attendance, and Westlake Village Mayor Pro Tem Ned Davis acting as Legendary’s director of operations.

Davis, a proponent of medicinal cannabis, has served on the Westlake Village City Council for 11 years and contributed to Thousand Oaks Councilman Joel Price’s campaign.

The vote was 4-1, with Councilman Rob McCoy preferring competing applicant Leaf Dispensary.

Legendary has one month to reach an operations agreement before the permit becomes final.

Meanwhile, Mayor and veteran Councilman Andy Fox has announced his retirement after 24 years and six terms.

ANDY FOX Fox, the second-longest-serving councilmember behind Alex Fiore, who has served 30 years, made the announcement in June.

“There’ll be time for me to share my profound gratitude to the residents, the staff, my colleagues, but in fairness to the candidates who are planning on running this year, I wanted them to know that a quarter of a (century) is long enough,” said Fox during his announcement.

Fox said that he would also be retiring from the Los Angeles Fire Department, where he served for 38 years.

PORT HUENEME COUNCILMAN TOM FIGG NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION

Port Hueneme Councilman Tom Figg announced at the June 18 Council meeting that he would not be seeking re-election come November.

Figg, a vocal critic of some of his peers, was first elected in November of 2014 and became mayor in November 2016. Figg led the charge to strip thenMayor Pro Tem Jim Hensley of TOM FIGG duties in 2017 after his verbal altercation with Deputy City Manager Carmen Nichols. Figg was subsequently named in a lawsuit filed by Jim Hensley.

food obsessed Struggles over weight loss, gain a problem for many

LEFT: Kenzie Flocks at around age 15 at 98 pounds.

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

G

GROWING UP, KENZIE FLOCKS STRUGGLED mildly with food anxiety, but it didn’t become a problem until she was 14 years old.

“When I was 14 I didn’t really know what to do about it, and until my mom found out, I continued to live that way,” recalled Flocks, whose mother knew her daughter had a problem when she read her journal, where she logged all her calories and saved nutrition labels.

Her lowest weight was 98 pounds when she was around 15 years old. Her diet consisted of mostly protein bars — usually one a day — and half a cucumber if she needed more food. She also restricted her water intake.

“At age 15 it started out as pretty severe restriction of my calorie intake, and as the years went on, I started to struggle with bulimia,” said Flocks of Simi Valley. “Once I got into middle school, I realized that I had a problem with food, and that my behaviors weren’t normal.”

After she was officially diagnosed with an eating disorder at age 15, her treatment included leaving her home and living in a therapeutic house up to six months at a time.

“Every meal was supervised, and after meals we had to sit with a staff member for an hour,” Flocks remembered. “The bathrooms were always locked and we had to ask to use them. I have been to many programs but I struggled to succeed in them. The program that changed my life was called Remuda Ranch in Arizona.”

While she spent most of her teenage years in and out of treatment to gain the weight that she needed to be healthy, “After treatment I still struggled with accepting my healthy

OPPOSITE: Kenzie in a recent photo at age 26. body,” she said. “At age 22 I reached my highest weight of 278 pounds while still engaging in anorexia and bulimia behaviors.”

At age 22, after this weight gain and unhealthy behaviors, Flocks reached out to a health coach to help her manage her meal plan and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

“Today I am the healthiest I’ve ever been, and my relationship with food has changed dramatically,” said Flocks. “Food no longer controls my everyday life. I am no longer obsessed with calories or numbers.”

Today, she enjoys life more than she has in a very long time, “and to live without being consumed by food is truly a relief.”

Her daily food consists of Herbalife products, protein such as lean meats and Greek yogurt, plus tons of veggies and some fruit.

“I now weigh about 175 and I’m continuing to get my body in a healthier place, but the number no longer controls my life anymore,” she said.

Looking back on her experience, Flocks said that the biggest misunderstanding about food addiction is that you have to look a certain way to struggle with food.

“The reality of food addiction is that it doesn’t discriminate in any way whatsoever,” she said.

“My advice that I would give someone who is struggling would be to get help as soon as possible,” Flocks further emphasized. “Food addiction of any kind is a very isolating condition. I would encourage anyone to reach out, and never give up because there is hope.”

FOOD IS EVERYWHERE

Food is everywhere, being accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. While this bounty provides people with endless choices, for someone with a food addiction, this vast menu can be overwhelming, especially for those who struggle with a sense of loss of control when it comes to food.

Food addiction is a condition in which the

brain’s pleasure center is activated and releases hormones that reward the person with feelings of euphoria and pleasure — much the same as the release one gets from drugs or other behaviors that release these chemicals, explained Demi Shugrue, owner of Shugrue Psychotherapy and Consultation Services in Ventura.

“They then become hooked on the feel-good chemicals in response to the foods,” Shugrue said.

Shugrue has been working in health care for more than 30 years, dealing with the medical conditions related to different types of foodrelated sequelae, as well as obesity, anorexia, electrolyte disturbances, psychological disorders, body image distortions, shame, diabetes, abdominal pains and many other conditions.

“I have also worked the psychological end of addiction for the last five years,” Shugrue noted. “Dealing with clients with food addictions and complications of such has taught me a lot.”

Jenny Taitz, author of End Emotional Eating: Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills to Cope with Difficult Emotions and Develop a Healthy Relationship to Food, describes a food addiction as an unhealthy relationship where rather than providing nourishment, eating becomes a source of preoccupation, loss of control, and serves an ineffective means to cope with emotions.

“Researchers suggest that problematic obsessing over food, rather than using food to nourish your health, occurs in roughly 10 percent of the population,” said Taitz of Los Angeles, who is board-certified in cognitive behavioral therapy by the American Board of Professional Psychology and a Diplomate in the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.

“Rather than thinking categorically, it’s helpful to think dimensionally. Are there moments where you use food in a way that hurts you, long-term?” Taitz said. “And if so, what are the costs and benefits and how

might this behavior compromise your wellness? Almost everyone occasionally uses food for comfort rather than to satisfy physiological needs.”

A food addiction can be correlated to the feeling that comes about when food moves from nourishing to overwhelming.

“Like substance dependence and abuse, cravings and lack of control, and noticing a lot of your thinking is centered around eating, suggests that this is a problem,” Taitz said.

It doesn’t take statistics to see the rise in this addiction, Shugrue said.

“One only has to look around at the increase of obesity in this country to see there is a rise in this issue,” Shugrue said. “It is difficult to have true statistical numbers due to the different types of issues related to food addiction; you don’t see obesity with bulimia or anorexia, though these are also related to food addictions.”

There is about a 30 percent increase in obesity in young people and children, Shugrue noted.

“The issue with food addiction is that one must eat to survive, so learning how to have a healthy lifestyle is really the key,” said Shugrue, further noting that this also includes mental wellness to appreciate one’s self with acceptance and self-care and love.

“The idea is to also deal with the underlying issues such as lower self-esteem and anxiety or depression,” Shugrue said.

WHAT IS EMOTIONAL EATING?

In her book, Taitz notes that most of us have a general, rational sense of what to eat and when.

“Yet there is often a disconnect between what we know and what we do,” Taitz states.

“We may have the facts, but decisions also involve our feelings. Many people who struggle with difficult emotions also struggle with eating problems.”

Emotional eating is a popular term used

to describe eating that is influenced by emotions, both positive and negative, Taitz further explains, noting that feelings may affect various aspects of your eating, including your motivation to eat, your food choices, where and with whom you eat and the speed at which you eat.

“Most overeating is prompted by feelings rather than physical hunger,” Taitz notes.

“Individuals who struggle with obesity tend to eat in response to emotions. However, people who eat for emotional reasons are not necessarily overweight. People of any size may try to escape an emotional experience by preoccupying themselves with eating or by obsessing over their shape and weight.”

In her book, Taitz notes the following examples of what emotional eating may look like: • Snacking when you do not feel physically hungry or when you are moderately full • Experiencing an intense craving for a particular food • Not feeling satiated after eating adequate amounts of healthy food • Anxiously gathering more food while your mouth is full • Feeling emotionally relieved while eating • Eating during or following a stressful experience • Numbing feelings with food • Eating alone to avoid others noticing “People who eat for emotional reasons often eat in an attempt to self-sooth or to experience momentary relief from difficult feelings,” Taitz explains. “Some people describe purposely eating certain comforting foods as a way to cope with stress. Emotional eating is related to feelings of inadequacy. Emotions may seem so intense that we feel we need to instantly manage them by escaping with food, or we may feel we lack other tools to cope with distress.”

Taitz advises thinking about your own experience and contemplating the following questions: Do you experience authentic or lasting relief while eating? Or is relief fleeting or partial at best?

“Just as when we compulsively watch television, drink alcohol or shop, we may wish to temporarily escape through eating,” Taitz notes.

FOOD ADDICTION CAUSES

According to Taitz, potential causes of a food addiction include believing that your emotions are overwhelming and that you can’t cope, which can be is linked to using food to manage.

“Similarly, the mental habit of ruminating or getting stuck in your mind, which creates a lot of distress, also links to binge eating,” Taitz said.

Many clients share a history of being comforted by food, she noted.

“Interestingly, overvaluing your shape and weight, or defining your worth by your size, can lead to binge eating, and strict dieting often spirals into a problematic relationship with eating,” Taitz explained.

A food addiction can begin early, she noted; for instance, young adults in middle school can develop an unhealthy focus on food.

“Adult women who are overweight are more at risk for food addiction,” Taitz noted. “That said, I see many men and people of all ages, including geriatric populations, who struggle with eating preoccupation and a sense of loss of control when it comes to food. People of all shapes and sizes can struggle with forgetting how to intuitively eat.”

Having a food addiction can bring about potential dangers.

For instance, there are so many serious

health and emotional problems linked to eating, from cardiac issues to cancer and diabetes, Taitz warned.

“On the emotional front, not learning to cope with urges and emotions can really get in the way of living a happy life,” Taitz said.

FOOD ADDICTS IN RECOVERY ANONYMOUS

Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) is a program of recovery based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Membership is international, with meetings in the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany and England. In the early 1980s, the FA program began to take form within the context of Overeaters Anonymous, another 12-step program According to Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous, individual recovery is attained and maintained through the following 12 steps: We admitted we were powerless over food — that our lives had become unmanageable.

Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him.

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings.

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out.

Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all our affairs.

— Kenzie Flocks of Simi Valley

DON’T SUFFER ALONE

People of all shapes and sizes can be preoccupied with food, Taitz emphasized.

“Struggles with eating are treatable and you don’t need to suffer alone,” said Taitz, further noting that in her book, she addresses “urge surfing” and mindful eating.

“When we notice our urges, thoughts and emotions, they don’t need to drive our lives,” she added. “Accepting urges and slowing down can allow us to reconnect with ourselves and our health.”

Psychotherapy can be very useful in the treatment plan to help regulate one’s mental wellness and challenges with disorders or unhealthy habitual practices, Shugrue noted.

Other tools include dietary diaries, support groups, education and scheduled activities and meal planning, which can all be great to help with managing addiction.

“When working with addiction, we must understand the reward system of the addiction and also the anxieties that support the behavior,” Shugrue said. “Learning to have healthy choices and empowerment over behavioral choices is also beneficial to one’s healthy living.”

Not So Simple: Observations on Poverty and People by Brian Galetto

by Daphne Khalida Kilea dkkilea@aol.com

V

entura resident Brian Galetto is the author of the recently published Not So Simple: Observations on Poverty and People, a book of poetry and photography that highlights homelessness and more.

Galetto teaches communication and speech at Villanova Preparatory School in Ojai and from his perspective the surge in homelessness is a people problem — a complex problem which is linked with society’s essentials such as healthcare, education and the economy.

So if there are productive conversations and a reevaluation of how society is structured, maybe long-term change can develop.

Not So Simple was conceived from a need to re-examine interactions of individuals and the creation of a functional community. Galetto explained that a crisis like homelessness served as the ideal lens for his objective.

“As an East Coast guy, I was taken aback by the amount of people struggling to get by. That curiosity continued and I collected as many stories and ideas as I could to paint a picture of the people who are homeless, how the West Coast is dealing with this crisis, and how we can use language to bring all of us closer to understanding each other,” he said.

Overall, the book conveys a simple message: Everyone has a story.

Despite why one is homeless, Galetto attempts to emphasize that it is but part of an entire story that is unique to that individual and situation. With that foundation in mind, he believes that if there is a willingness to listen, one can better identify how to help another and the community altogether.

Galetto’s story includes the desire to effect change in the community and in the class-

room. Not So Simple evolved from his website, which had been launched from a lesson plan.

Over the years, he has sought to relay to his students the relationship between better communication and making progress in addressing issues like homelessness.

“I think many of the misconceptions I heard, from not only students but more so adults, was that all homeless are drug addicts or lazy. People believe that a majority of them are crazy, too. The common misconception that I think hinders not only our understanding of homeless, but also of different cultures and politics, is generalizing.”

While it is homelessness and poverty that Galetto seeks to illuminate, the underlying message is intended to speak to both individuals and a society continuously faced with humanitarian crises. He hopes that the need to continually engage in listening, asking questions and seeking solutions is a take-away from Not So Simple.

“If we can all understand the role each of us play in our community, then there is a tighter bond and people are more accountable,” Galetto stated. “When we treat people as less than human, and show a lack of care for one another, that’s a dangerous world to live in. I hope people can finish reading Not So Simple and think about how they can change their community. I hope it alters how they view those living in poverty. We’re all human, and I think at times we forget that.”

Before Not So Simple, the educator was not only sharing his time and ideas on his website, but with local nonprofit organizations such as Help of Ojai and Project Understanding.

Through the site, he raised over $9,000 for Thomas Fire victims. And Galetto has committed to donating all of the proceeds from Not So Simple to Project Understanding’s Homeless

to Housing (H2H) program. H2H works oneon-one with homeless residents to offer a safe environment and find them housing while helping them make positive changes in their lives.

In 2017, P r o j e c t Understanding had approximately 3,300 inquiries through the H2H program; 125 individuals who were homeless or close to being homeless were able to be assisted and housed. So far, Galetto has donated $2,100 to the organization.

“Every donation, wh e t h e r that be a donation of time, talent or treasure, can make an impact in what we do,” explained Brandy Beesley, Project Understanding’s executive director. “Advocacy is also an important piece of the puzzle — helping to educate the

community on the importance of addressing the issue of homelessness and directing our homeless neighbors to the appropriate resources and organization.”

Beesley also added that effectively confronting this issue requires a collective effort. Thus, it was encouraging that Ventura County is acknowledging the increasing number of local homeless people and, consequently, allocating more resources to meet the needs that arise.

“During the span of writing Not So Simple I’ve seen more communities realize that shuffling people around is not helping. We need more mental health facilities. We need shelters.

We need people in the community to allow low-income housing buildings in their community. We need more affordable housing.

What the county does to help the homeless epidemic in the next few years will have ramifications for decades. I hope for all of us, our solutions work,” Galetto noted. ✦ Not So Simple: Observations on Poverty and People is now available at local bookstores. All proceeds go to Project Understanding.

T

ime has left its mark on the Majestic Ventura Theater, but it hasn’t stolen the spotlight from this grand dame of local entertainment. Now turning 90 years old, she celebrates her longevity with style, offering a concert headlined by no fewer than five bands.

“We’ve never really done a birthday bash before,” says Stefan Brigati, who books shows and helped organize the event. “We hope to bring a lot of attention to these newer bands.”

This Saturday, the venue will commemorate its many years in service to Southern California music fans with a show featuring performers whose offerings are as diverse as the theater’s own history. Taking the stage will be Robot Nature (synth pop), Plan Your Escape (pop punk), Half Past the Revolution (metal), Herbal Rootz (reggae) and The Inside Break (alt and surf rock). The one common thread: geography. Most are local bands.

“We’re trying to show the local talent and local acts,” Brigati confirms. “We got away from that and lost touch with the local community a bit.”

The Downtown Ventura landmark has seen change aplenty in her nine decades. Built in 1928 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, the Ventura Theater was originally designed as an opulent “movie palace,” a lavish type of venue that became popular in the early 1900s as the film industry sought to attract a more upscale audience. Over time, the space became used for a variety of entertainment: vaudeville, stage plays, a dinner-nightclub and even, for a few years in the 1970s, adult films. But the Ventura Theater’s greatest claim to fame is the one that she has resolutely embodied since the 1980s: one of the county’s main venues for live music concerts.

Seemingly everyone who mattered (in just about every genre) has played here: Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, The Ramones, Bruce Springsteen, Black Sabbath, Joan Baez, Jackson Browne, Peter Gabriel, George Clinton . . . the list goes on. Hitmakers of yesteryear, legends in their own time, up-and-comers and even famous contemporary artists (many of whom used the theater as a warm up ahead of Coachella or bigger shows in Los Angeles) have all graced the Ventura Theater’s stage. It’s fitting, then, that the anniversary show will be just as eclectic.

Brigati says that showcasing such variety is intentional.

“We used to have more rock-based acts,” says Brigati, adding that the theater has expanded beyond reggae and punk to book more pop, modern and rap bands. “I think it’s a great change. We’re going into new territory . . . and it shows more diversity.”

Other trends Brigati sees as the Ventura Theater works its way

12 —

— July 26, 2018

Ventura Theater in its youth. toward 100 years: different types of events, and more festivals with multiple bands performing.

“Frost and Fire — that’s been a great one,” he says by example, citing the heavy metal festival that started in Ventura in 2015 and has grown in size and reputation since. Frost and Fire IV takes place Oct. 4-6. “That’s a huge three-day event. It’s really taken off. . . . We also have a punk rock show coming up with Black Flag. It’s going to be huge. They haven’t been together in so many years!”

Also on the horizon: the nonmusical venture, Ventura County Toy Con, debuting in September. “Who doesn’t love to play with toys?” Brigati says with a laugh.

Loanne Wullaert, longtime theater manager, is looking forward to the upcoming Gavin DeGraw concert in August.

“I’m a big fan of Gavin DeGraw,” Wullaert says of the singer/ songwriter. “He’s someone from nowhere who came from nothing and sang what’s in his heart. . . . Love comes out in the way he sings. . . . If you can generate that same feeling and same kind of sound in a live environment, then you are amazing.”

“This is a chance to see him in a more intimate setting,” Brigati adds.

That setting isn’t as luxurious as it was in its early days. The fountains and plush furniture are long gone, the carpet is showing its age and the gilt on the walls is coming off. But the Majestic Ventura Theater still evinces a somewhat tarnished beauty, and retains its heart and soul — qualities that have done more to bolster the local music community than opulent surroundings ever could.

Give the old gal her due: We should all be going as strong at 90 years of age. ✦ The Ventura Theater’s 90th Birthday Bash takes place on Saturday, July 28, at 8 p.m. at 26 S. Chestnut St., Ventura. For tickets and more information, call 805-653-0721 or visit www.venturatheater.net.

T

he 2018 Ventura County Fair opens its gates soon, kicking off festivities with a motor sports show on Wednesday, Aug. 1, and wrapping it all up with a series of professional rodeos over the closing weekend, Aug. 11-12. But in between, fair attendees will be boogie-ing, boot-scooting and banda-ing to an eclectic music lineup at the Grandstand Arena.

Relive the ’80s with English pop/reggae band UB40, taking the stage on Thursday, Aug. 2, and consisting of founder and vocalist Ali Campbell and longstanding members Mickey Virtue and Astro. Plain White T’s follows on Friday night, with country star LeAnn Rimes headlining on Saturday.

Sunday, Aug. 5, is devoted to Latin music from a trio of renowned Mexican artists. The lineup includes Norteño and corrido singer Alfredo Olivas, teen sensation Ulices Chaidez and the smooth, dulcet tones of legendary ranchera musician Lorenzo de Monteclaro. The show starts at 3 p.m.

Sublime with Rome performs on Monday night, followed by an oldies-but-goodies Tuesday with The 5th Dimension at 1 p.m. and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons at 7:30 p.m. Boyz II Men makes for a romantic Wednesday evening. Grammy-nominated Hunter Hayes, dubbed “Leader of Country Music’s Youth Revolution”

by Billboard in 2014, plays on Thursday, Aug. 9.

The fair’s final concert takes place on Friday, Aug. 10, with Creedence Clearwater Revisited — not to be confused with Creedence Clearwater Revival but featuring former CCR members Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford.

Several local acts will also be performing throughout the fair’s run, so be sure to drop by the Seabreeze Stage to see Hard Six, Twisted Gypsy, Aaron Pax Taylor and many more. Check online for the full list, and then get thee to the “county fair with ocean air” for great tunes and good ✦ times.

The 2018 Ventura County Fair takes place Aug. 1-12 at 10 W. Harbor Blvd., Ventura. For tickets, full schedule and more information, call 805-648-3376 or visit www.venturacountyfair.org.

Won't You Be My Neighbor A beautiful day, indeed

by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

Directed by Morgan Neville Starring: Fred Rogers, Joanne Rogers, Betty Aberlin, David Bianculli Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and language 1 hr. 34 min.

Data and analytics predominate these times. If numbers alone tell us anything, much can be gleaned from the fact that a documentary about the most benign entity in TV history has been Top 10 nationally at the box office. That entity, the late Fred Rogers; the documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

Morgan Neville’s warm, engaging study of Mr. Rogers and his impact on popular culture and generations of children is illuminating, touching and, like the man himself, so thoroughly decent.

An ordained Presbyterian minister, Fred Rogers entered TV in its early years, when entertainment for children meant that baggypants comedians such as Pinky Lee and slapstick pie-throwers à la Soupy Sales prevailed — as did commercials and product placement that lured in kids. (I recall that even the genteel Captain Kangaroo had a train set that circled an array of Kellogg’s cereal boxes . . . “The best to you each morning!”) Mr. Rogers deeply believed that children deserved more from television, and in 1968 began his daily series, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, on Pittsburgh’s WQED. I saw the show at its outset, as a 9-yearold, rapidly spinning the soft, UHF channel selector until the fuzzy picture displayed what looked like a toy Christmas village, sans the wreaths and ribbons, and the ringing celesta theme began. The dapper Mr. Rogers entered, singing his soon-to-be-signature song, with a lavalier microphone, thick as a roll of pennies, hanging over his narrow tie. And there was the trolley, which I wanted for my own room just to watch it make its way around the walls.

For younger children, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was much more than the scant pro-

‘‘

duction values because Rogers’ goal was to make them know that they were special and loved. To watch this documentary on a big screen is to set aside what disdain for corniness may exist and see the greatness of his sincerity.

It seemed as though providence had determined that this series would start when it was needed most. 1968 was a year of violence and pain. Mr. Rogers was so concerned that he aired a special episode and urged parents to talk with their children about what they were seeing on TV. He did this over the years, through travail and tragedy. Rogers didn’t see himself as such, for his mission was so much more than that, but he may have been television’s best au pair, a guardian who made children, at least for a half-hour every weekday, feel valued.

Neville’s film touches on what made Rogers so intent on helping kids achieve a positive sense of self. A child from a well-off family, he was teased as “Fat Freddy.” As ostracized children often do, he retreated to a world of his own invention.

From this experience came his faith — decidedly more about living the word than fire and brimstone. What grew was more vocation than career. He desired to make TV a chance to build community.

Mr. Rogers drew his share of parodies, which are shown in the film: Eddie Murphy, SCTV, Johnny Carson. He was an easy target.

Toward the end of his life, he was in the crosshairs of Fox News and far-right extremists for “creating a generation of entitled children.”

Fred Rogers, a gentle soul and deeply spiritual man, a comforting presence, did not deserve that.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is in its final weeks of theatrical release. Should you seek relief from both the heat and the violence of the summer blockbuster movies, see this film.

Consider the influence of Fred Rogers, and ponder how he would handle today’s resurrected hatreds and national bellicosity. You’ll find his message would be the same. We need only hear it. ♦

Nathan, our hardworking server, brought out two of the restaurant’s “new wine glasses” and our respective wines in small carafes.

was as delicious as it was beautiful with warm, roasted Brussels sprouts and squash atop a large bed of spinach.

Dried cranberries and roasted pepitas added flavor and texture; the dressing was just right. Purple-leaf kale surrounding the salad was more decorative than edible, as kale needs massaging.

Mark’s veggie guacamole burger with a side spinach salad with Roma tomatoes and Parmesan cheese was a hearty burger “done to perfection” with ripe red tomato slices and a huge mound of guacamole on a fresh wholewheat multiseed bun that had been lightly toasted. In fact, the burger was so hearty that he decided to “deconstruct” it for manageability. We ordered a side of the bet-you-can’t-eat-just-one truffle potato chips (not made in house, but tasty nonetheless).

The non-meat eater, who was raised on real burgers in the Midwest, claimed that this burger was “the most satisfying veggie burger, compared to a real meat burger.” I tasted a hint of chipotle flavor (unverified) but perhaps it was the chipotle chicken burger on the menu that swayed my observation.

This is a most congenial, casual and welcoming watering hole and dining spot. Inside, cozy seating areas, walls of wine, a long bar and bright paintings punctuate the dark interior. There’s an attractive stage where bluegrass, blues and jazz musicians perform. A back seating area has overstuffed couches to sink into.

The wine and beer list is long and deserving of a more in-depth report. Wines by the glass ($9-$17) range from an Argentinian malbec and Spanish grenache ($9) to Halter Ranch Rosé from Paso Robles ($12) and chardonnays from Napa ($17) and Sonoma ($12).

We popped by later in the evening to check out the music. Grapes and Hops was “hopping” — there was a cowboy at the bar flirting with a pretty girl, lots of folks enjoying the live music, and it appeared a good time was being had by all.

Grapes and Hops’ website could use some updating (as of this writing) as the entire menu is not online and it says they open at noon — which was not the case on another occasion when I stopped by. It was more like early afternoon. The most current “event” listed was last New Year’s Eve. That aside, keep an eye on the music lineup (there’s a chalkboard kiosk out front or give them a call) and hop on by for a swell time, great wine and beer offerings and some tasty grub in the heart of downtown Ventura. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

Be extra polite and deferential. Cultivate an exaggerated respect for the status quo. Spend an inordinate amount of time watching dumb TV shows while eating junk food. Make sure you’re exposed to as little natural light and fresh air as possible.

JUST KIDDING! I lied! Ignore everything I just said!

Here’s my real advice: Dare yourself to feel strong positive emotions. Tell secrets to animals and trees.

Swim and dance and meditate naked. Remember in detail the three best experiences you’ve ever had.

Experiment with the way you kiss. Create a blessing that surprises you and everyone else. Sing new love songs. Change something about yourself that you don’t like. Ask yourself unexpected questions, then answer them with unruly truths that have medicinal effects.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

Your past is not quite what it seems. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find out why — and make the necessary adjustments. A good way to begin would be to burrow back into your old stories and unearth the half-truths buried there. It’s possible that your younger self wasn’t sufficiently wise to understand what was really happening all those months and years ago, and as a result distorted the meaning of the events. I suspect, too, that some of your memories aren’t actually your own, but rather other people’s versions of your history. You may not have time to write a new memoir right now, but it might be healing to spend a couple of hours drawing up a revised outline of your important turning points.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

One of the most famously obtuse book-length poems in the English language is Robert Browning’s Sordello, published in 1840. After studying it at length, Alfred Tennyson, who was Great Britain’s

by rob brezsny

Poet Laureate from 1850 to 1892, confessed, “There were only two lines in it that I understood.” Personally, I did better than Tennyson, managing to decipher 18 lines. But I bet that if you read this dense, multilayered text in the coming weeks, you would do better than Tennyson and I did. That’s because you’ll be at the height of your cognitive acumen.

Please note: I suggest you use your extra intelligence for more practical purposes than decoding obtuse texts.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

Ready for your financial therapy session? For your first assignment, make a list of the valuable qualities you have to offer the world, and write a short essay about why the world should abundantly reward you for them. Assignment #2: Visualize what it feels like when your valuable qualities are appreciated by people who matter to you. #3: Say this: “I am a rich resource that ethical, reliable allies want to enjoy.” #4: Say this: “My scruples can’t be bought for any amount of money. I may rent my soul, but I’ll never sell it outright.”

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

As you wobble and stumble into the New World, you shouldn’t pretend that you understand more than you actually do. In fact, I advise you to play up your innocence and freshness. Gleefully acknowledge that you’ve got a lot to learn. Enjoy the liberating sensation of having nothing to prove. That’s not just the most humble way to proceed; it’ll be your smartest and most effective strategy. Even people who have been a bit skeptical of you before will be softened by your vulnerability. Opportunities will arise because of your willingness to be empty and open and raw.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Since 1358, the city of Paris has used the Latin motto Fluctuat nec mergitur, which can be translated as “She is tossed by the waves but does not sink.” I propose that we install those stirring words as your rallying cry for the next few weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens gives me confidence that even though you may encounter unruly weather, you will sail on unscathed. What might be the metaphorical equivalent of taking seasick pills?

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The Spanish word delicadeza can have several meanings in English, including “delicacy” and “finesse.” The Portuguese word delicadeza has those meanings, as well as others, including “tenderness,” “fineness,” “suavity,” “respect” and “urbanity.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m making it your word of power for the next three weeks. You’re in a phase when you will thrive by expressing an abundance of these qualities. It might be fun to temporarily give yourself the nickname Delicadeza.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Uninformed scientists scorn my oracles. Reductionist journalists say I’m just another delusional fortuneteller. Materialist cynics accuse me of pandering to people’s superstition. But I reject those naive perspectives. I define myself as a psychologically astute poet who works playfully to liberate my readers’ imaginations with inventive language, frisky stories and unpredictable ideas. Take a cue from me, Scorpio, especially in the next four weeks. Don’t allow others to circumscribe what you do or who you are. Claim the power to characterize yourself.

Refuse to be squeezed into any categories, niches or images — except those that squeeze you the way you like to be squeezed.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

“I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.” So said Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen.

I don’t have any judgment about whether her attitude was right or wrong, wise or ill-advised. How about you? Whatever your philosophical position might be, I suggest that for the next four weeks you activate your inner Jane Austen and let that part of you shine — not just in relation to whom and what you love but also with everything that rouses your passionate interest. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for some big, beautiful, radiant zeal.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

“There are truths I haven’t even told God,” confessed Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. “And not even myself. I am a secret under the lock of seven keys.” Are you harboring any riddles or codes or revelations that fit that description, Capricorn? Are there any sparks or seeds or gems that are so deeply concealed, they’re almost lost? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to bring them up out of their dark hiding places. If you’re not quite ready to show them to God, you should at least unveil them to yourself. Their emergence could spawn a nearmiracle or two.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

What are your goals for your top two alliances or friendships? By that I mean, what would you like to accomplish together? How do you want to influence and inspire each other? What effects do you want your relationships to have on the world? Now maybe you’ve never even considered the possibility of thinking this way. Maybe you simply want to enjoy your bonds and see how they evolve rather than harnessing them for greater goals. That’s fine. No

pressure. But if you are interested in shaping your connections with a more focused sense of purpose, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do so.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

In Janet Fitch’s novel White Oleander, a character makes a list of “twenty-seven names for tears,” including “Heartdew. Griefhoney. Sadwater. Die tränen. Eau de douleur. Los rios del corazón.” (The last three can be translated as “The Tears,” “Water of Pain,” and “The Rivers of the Heart.”) I invite you to emulate this playfully extravagant approach to the art of crying. The coming weeks will be en excellent time to celebrate and honor your sadness, as well as all the other rich emotions that provoke tears. You’ll be wise to feel profound gratitude for your capacity to feel so deeply. For best results, go in search of experiences and insights that will unleash the full cathartic power of weeping. Act as if empathy is a superpower.

Homework: Do you have a liability that could be turned into an asset with a little (or a lot of) work?

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorderís 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.

Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 09/12/2018, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated.
