OPINION Editor’s note

Defy convention, focus on the positive

n a society tense over ongoing uncertainty and downright appalling policies and protocol, it’s easy to get swept up in the negative. Sometimes it feels as though, if you have a heart, being in a regular state of outrage is an obligation. But in reality, there is so much to be thankful for, especially when realizing that our community is full of good people giving back with only the hope of making hard times easier. When the request for local heroes’ nominations was made over the last month, it seemed obvious that many people who helped during the Thomas Fire would be nominated. When the names came in, only a few were associated with the fire. What we got instead were dozens of people doing all sorts of volunteer work year round. Our heroes this year, however, aren’t just people who have a heart for others, but some who have experienced the trauma of not having resources available or not having others who could truly understand their tough experiences and who therefore decided that they would share their vulnerabilities to help others. And it is this arena of understanding and compassion that paves the way to a more honest and connected community. While it is easy to see what’s wrong with our society, our communities, etc., it seems conversely difficult to get past that and to focus on the good things, especially when it comes to going out of our way to do something that benefits others without expecting anything in return. It is via the vehicle

Letters Pueblo or pieces!

hen President Trumpet recently met with the Dictator Kim Jung Un in Singapore, there is one VERY BIG and DAMNED IMPORTANT topic he failed to cover; the fact that North Korea is STILL, to this day, holding a valuable U.S. Navy vessel; the USS PUEBLO! They hijacked/stole the Pueblo in 1968 and held the crew for 11 months before releasing them. They NEVER, repeat NEVER, released the ship. It is still a tourist attraction in one of the North Korean ports. It has been used as a tourist attraction by North Korea since 1968 to embarrass and humiliate the United States and the U.S. Navy. A week ago, I sent a “MEMO FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP” to the White House, in which I suggested a solution. Ask the North Korean dictator to give the ship back to us NOW, immediately. If they refuse to release the Pueblo, then launch two or three cruise missiles from one of our numerous, nearby Navy war ships, and

of unconditional love that we can start to set aside our assumptions and expectations and direct our energy to truly good things; and it can start with shouldering a burden. For instance, picking up litter is a decent thing to do. Or helping someone who is struggling with carrying groceries or needs help opening a door. Or offering water to a neighbor who is working hard in the yard. Finding opportunities to do good things rarely happens while streaming Netflix or getting into heated debates on social media about how things should be. It happens when we disconnect from virtual reality and tap into physical reality intentionally, seeking ways that we can help one another. If you don’t know where to start, the Ventura County Community Foundation and the United Way of Ventura County are tied to numerous nonprofits looking for volunteers to chip in their time and energy. If organized volunteer work feels off-putting, just apply the Golden Rule and be conscientious about the world around you. Even a friendly hello or a respectable chat with a stranger could help in monumental ways. Spreading good cheer shouldn’t be reserved just for the holidays. Be a local hero every day by being mindful of the people around you, and understand that you play a role in the common good, which is the notion that we are all in this together. If everyone did a little bit toward that thinking, how much better would our community, state, world be?

blow the ship into scrap metal. That is NOT a verbatim quote of what I told President Trumpet, but pretty close. The point I made was this; RELEASE IMMEDIATELY OR BLOW THE SHIP TO PIECES!! John Jay Oxnard

Addiction and pain killers Ventura County, we absolutely need a facility or a floor on a hospital that is set up for psych/mentally ill/addiction recovery AFTERCARE. The hospitals and doctors are now our biggest producers of new addiction cases, blueand white-collar, per Narconon International. We are failing our people who have fought long and hard for their recovery. In a lot of cases, especially the hospitals who EXCLUDE PATIENT HISTORY on recovering addiction patients, even when family members have provided and who are their best resource for documented medical records, in most cases. One particular hospital in Oxnard could care less about the addiction recovery after surgeries. They insist on giving morphine for nine days to the recovering patients (routine

surgery), who are in pain and need relief, but denying them their psych meds at the same time. The patient is loaded up on what they are addicted to, offered no other options. Doctor can’t get a straight answer from patient, so they just give more morphine. Doctors offered no pain management specialist when family suggested it due to the situation. Seems the gateway drugs are now prescribed by doctors who get some into this mess. If the patient ever recovers and ends up back in the hands of these doctors, who HAVE DOCUMENTED drug history on this patient. Sometimes then, doctor intentionally disrespects and disregards this individual’s struggles, thus starting all over again in a spiral, leaving family to deal with. The recovering patient HAS THE RIGHT NOT TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF and to remain in recovery too, but more than not, seems the doctors have another agenda. Isn’t there anybody training properly in mentally ill/psych/addiction patients, who must have surgeries and pain medication? Do we have a specific place for those in need of this kind of care, Mr. Powers? This kind of medicine is a specialty. Bring a facility back into this county. We have more elders/senior citizens here in trouble and ALL THE FAMILIES are trying to hold down the fort in this area, but WE NEED SERIOUS HELP TO SERVE OUR ELDERS when doctors will not listen and do more harm. We are failing those in this county that have families that are struggling trying to take care of these loved ones. There is no help when hospital situations arise and the recovering patients wants to keep their sobriety, not to be released and have to start all over again. Where are these doctors during detox? Some family caregivers are on the brink of losing their jobs, their homes, themselves. A little RESPITE here, please!

news In Brief U-HAUL NEW TENANT AT OLD LEVITZ FURNITURE IN OXNARD

Carey Jonker co-managing partner of Waypoint Ventura in front of one of the vintage trailers.

Back to the future Modern vintage theme of newest overnight accommodations in Ventura by Michel Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

aypoint Ventura is officially open. After three years of hunting for and renovating Airstreams and other old-school trailers, the vision has finally come to fruition and seems ideal for tourists looking for unique accommodations in Ventura. “We have 16 completed rooms, [plus] a couple of other office trailers,” said Carey Jonker, comanaging partner with his sister, Kelsey. “Each trailer is built out and basically stabilized in place with a deck built onto it with exterior lighting and chairs.” Carey has been busy renovating and restoring trailers since 2015; he recalled a 50-foot trailer that he had to haul back from San Diego. While the length was an obvious hurdle to moving on the freeway, the trailer had also been a part of a park that had built up around it over the years. “It had a house built off of it and it hasn’t had the wheels spin [in years]. We had to take down hand rails and cut down trees just to get the thing,” Carey said. He also noted that the farthest distance for pickup was in Arizona. For proper restoration, the work takes around four to six months generally to get a trailer up to the standards for overnight guests. He said that there are still nine more trailers in storage to add to Waypoint, but they need to be restored. Waypoint Ventura also offers hookups for guests who bring their own vintage and retro trailers, and there are also bicycles for rent on site. Michele White of Santa Clarita stayed there

last weekend (June 23) with her boyfriend. She had been following Visit Ventura on Instagram when a picture of Waypoint Ventura popped up. “I couldn’t wait for it to open,” she said. “My experience was fantastic. They were very friendly, welcoming, inviting. It was like traveling back in time — we stayed in a 1948 Palace Royale with an outdoor shower. There was a sense of community, not like any other hotel experience I had. Guests got together at the end of the night for s’more activities; it was really nice to hang around by the fire pit and share experiences with others visiting.” “When I got there, one of the more interesting experiences — they go through the history of the trailer itself, and how long to restore it that made the experience come more to life,” White said. Looking back, Jonker said that it wasn’t clear where the idea came from to offer overnight accommodations in renovated Airstreams. “We have been going over it but no one knows exactly who first threw it out there,” Jonker said. For Carey and Kelsey, Waypoint is a change of pace, both having been a part of the Toppers Pizza Place family for their entire lives and having worked in managerial positions. Waypoint Ventura is now booking reservations but welcomes those who are curious and want to see the park. “We are happy to show them around,” Carey said. Waypoint Ventura is located at 398 S. Ash St., unit E, Ventura. ✦ For more information and booking rates, call 805-888-5750 or go to waypointventura.com/.

After standing vacant for 13 years, the former Levitz Furniture building at 2420 N. Oxnard Blvd. is being converted into a U-Haul dealership, says an Oxnard planning official. The company has applied for a special-use permit to make the modifications that will bring it up to date with fire and building codes, said Asst. City Planner Tom McClaren. Plans are to provide storage space as well as trucks and hitches for rent; and because the property is so large, the company is also proposing storage space for recreational vehicles, said McClaren. Other improvements will include landscaping and a fence to block access to the railroad tracks that divide the property from the Food4Less complex on Esplanade Drive. There will probably also be someone living on the property full-time to discourage breakins by homeless campers, which has been a problem since the building was vacated in 2005. But the project probably won’t get to presented to the City Council for approval before next summer, said McClaren, due to understaffing in Oxnard’s Planning Dept. “What should take nine months is taking 12 to 15 months because we don’t have the staff,” McClaren said. “So we’re probably looking at a year and a half before the project is up and running.” — David Michael Courtland

STUDY SHOWS ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CHANNEL ISLANDS HARBOR

In 2016, businesses and tenants at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard contributed more than $159 million in economic impact and more than 900 jobs, this according to a report presented to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors at its June 18 meeting. Jobs, earnings, sales and taxes were all factors taken into consideration when determining the numbers. The study, developed by the California Economic Forecast, a Santa Barbara-based research firm, was commissioned by the Ventura County Harbor Department. “This study reinforces the role of the Channel Islands Harbor as a regional economic driver,” said Ventura County Harbor Department Acting Director Suzy Watkins. “Our business owners and lessees deserve the credit, as they chose to locate their businesses here and have put in their time, money and energy to make them a success.” Highlights of the study show that since 2012, Channel Islands Harbor business activity has outperformed overall business growth throughout Ventura County, at 6.3 percent annually, and that two proposed developments including the Hyatt House and redevelopment of Fisherman’s Wharf could increase economic activity by 60 percent.

WORKSHOP FOR OXNARD RESIDENTS INTERESTED IN RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL

Learn how to potentially become a city councilmember at one of several workshops

being held in Oxnard Districts 1, 2, 5 and 6 ahead of this November’s election. “The sessions are an opportunity for anyone who may have thought about running for City Council but didn’t know what to expect or how to go about it, to come get more information and ask questions,” said Oxnard City Clerk Michelle Ascencion. “The new district-based election format should prove easier for candidates to focus their campaigning efforts, rather than having to campaign citywide in an at-large election. South Oxnard is particularly ripe for emerging leaders, since those seats are wide open for potential candidates to step up and represent their district.” The sessions will be held on Thursday, July 5 (Hueneme High School cafeteria, 500 W. Bard Road, Oxnard), and Thursday, July 12 (Oxnard Performing Arts Center Thousand Oaks Room, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard), at 6 p.m. For more information, call 805-385-7805.

OXNARD WINERY FINED $70,000 BY EPA

Herzog Wine Cellars has settled with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to the tune of $70,000 over a 2015 violation of the Clean Water Act. Herzog, also known as Royal Wine Corporation, was fined for a violation stemming from an inspection of the winery that found that the wastewater produced while cleansing and sterilizing vats did not meet regulations put in place for acidity, therefore having the potential to damage the city’s sewage system. The winery fixed the issue in 2016 and has since installed a water treatment system, adding in a statement that it has worked closely with regulators throughout the process.

OXNARD GYM, SCHOOL OF POTENTIAL TUBERCULOSIS EXPOSURE

Visitors to an Oxnard gym may have gained more than muscles last week when a guest was confirmed to have tested positive for tuberculosis, and a student at an Oxnard middle school, in a related, has also been confirmed to carry the disease in a related case. Oxnard officials say that an individual attending Rio Vista Middle School had a form of contagious tuberculosis. Contagious tuberculosis, also known as the TB disease, means that the virus is active and can be spread. A TB infection, as distinguished from TB disease, is different in that the virus there is inactive in the host’s body and is not contagious. An investigation is underway, headed by Ventura County Public Health. Students and staff who test positive will receive treatment. TB is curable. In a related case, a member of 24 Hour Fitness at The Collection has also been confirmed to be carrying the contagious disease. The individual visited the gym between March 12 and June 4, 2018. The gym is reviewing records for members who may have come in contact with the individual, and they will be contacted. The Public Health Department has established a telephone line for anyone with questions regarding tuberculosis exposure. For more information, call 805-385-9444. — Chris O”Neal

HEATHER LOCKLEAR ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGED BATTERY

Thousand Oaks resident and celebrity Heather Locklear was arrested on Sunday, June 24, after allegedly battering a police officer and emergency personnel, her second arrest in less than a month. Hours after the alleged incident, emergency crews responded to reports of an overdose at the actress’s home. Locklear, 56, was arrested on Sunday night and booked early Monday morning after officers responded to reports of a disturbance at her home. Officers allege that Locklear was heavily intoxicated and arguing with friends and family before attacking deputies, ultimately kicking a medic in the chest. She is being held on $20,000 bail. Best known for her roles in Melrose Place and Dynasty, Locklear was arrested in February for battering a police officer and domestic violence and in mid-June was hospitalized for a psychiatric evaluation. Following her return home on Tuesday, officers received a call regarding an overdose at the actress’s home. A patient was transported to the local hospital, but authorities did not identify who that person was.

SIMI MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO IMPERSONATING ICE AGENT

A man in dire need of a guitar has pleaded guilty to falsely impersonating an ICE agent after an incident involving a 15-year-old boy and a missed sales opportunity. Farad Gharagozlou Bell, 63, entered the plea on Thursday, June 22, stemming from an incident that occurred on Dec. 2, 2017. Bell admitted to displaying a badge that identified him as a special agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which he used to order the victim out of a vehicle. Bell was angry that the boy had sold a guitar that he was interested in buying, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Bell also admitted to patting the boy down for weapons and looking through the boy’s cellphone without permission. Police responded to the scene after a witness

reported the incident wherein Bell identified himself using the fake badge emblazoned with three Homeland Security seals. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend that Bell be sentenced to home detention and community service, but he faces a maximum of three years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 1.

TWO OXNARD MEN SHOT IN BACK

In less than 24 hours as of Sunday, June 24, two Oxnard men have been shot. Police say that around 4:45 p.m. near the 200 block of Cuesta del Mar Drive a 23-yearold resident was shot in the lower back and was taken to St. John’s Regional Medical Center and treated for a non-life-threatening wound. The previous night, Saturday, June 23, another Oxnard man had been shot in the back in Oxnard’s Lemonwood Eastmont neighborhood. While police say that they do not believe the incidents to be related, authorities are asking anyone with information regarding either case to call the Oxnard Police Department at 805-385-7796.

A recent newsletter sent to homes by the largest refuse and recycling collection company in western Ventura County had some bad news about recycling. Chinese restrictions on imported recyclables have reduced the marketability of paper and plastic collected from our curbside carts. Although local sorting centers have slowed lines, added pickers and found buyers in other countries, keeping our recyclables recyclable during a period of declining markets requires making them more attractive to buyers. To help, the message to users of curbside carts and business recycling bins is to reduce contamination of recyclables. Examples cited for exclusion from recycling collections are Styrofoam (polystyrene), bubble wrap, plastic bags, straws and disposable utensils. While recyclers adjust to declining international markets, the local market for reusables has increased in two important areas. Domestic markets are doing great business in reselling used recording media – such as CDs and DVDs, as well as used printing media – such as laser toner cartridges and used ink jets. You can sell or trade DVDs, CDs and vinyl records at many local record stores, and even cassettes and VCR tapes are still accepted for donation at most local thrift stores. A few tips when selling: Match media with covers, do not include scratched items, and call first to set a time for your arrival. Some stores have only one buyer and accept items only when that staff person is available. I took 265 DVDs and CDs to the largest used record store in Ventura County,

and it bought 160 of them for $95.30. I took the remaining 105 to two smaller stores, but neither wanted any. As for printing media, each toner cartridge is worth around two dollars credit in the largest retailer trade-in programs. Another option for recycling is mail-back programs. Cartridge manufacturers offer shipping labels for free mail-back without payment, but some online cartridge dealers show on their websites long lists of which used laser toner and inkjet cartridges they pay for, provided customers ship at least 20 per box and meet other requirements. Recycling Advantage, one of these online collectors paying for used cartridges, listed prices for used laser toner cartridges ranging from 25 cents to $3.75 per unit and inkjet cartridges ranging from 5 cents to $1.80 each. Unused cartridges from surplus or liquidation, still in their sealed bags, have far more value. If you switch printers but still have unused cartridges in sealed bags, contact a company like Galaxy Surplus in Ojai. Inkjet cartridges retain value for only three years, but laser toner cartridges have no expiration dates. Planet Green Cartridges in Chatsworth helps schools and nonprofits run fundraisers collecting inkjets and certain electronics. Refilling your own cartridge is also a great way to save money. Some models can be refilled for a fee at participating Walgreens or Costco photo departments. Others can be refilled at home with kits purchased online. Most refillable cartridges have two refill holes or a single ✦ refill port under the product label sticker.

OFFICER K-9 LEADS TO COOPERATIVE SUSPECT IN VENTURA

A K-9 unit was needed to subdue a man on the property of the Old Mission in downtown Ventura on Sunday, June 24. Police responded to a call at 7:06 a.m. when parish staff, who live onsite, reported that a man had allegedly broken through the front door and was inside. Daniel Gutierrez, 33, was allegedly asked to exit the premises but officers say that he was allegedly uncooperative and refused to leave. When the K-9 unit was deployed, however, Gutierrez cooperated immediately, say officers. Officers say that after an investigation, Gutierrez was arrested on suspicion of vandalism to a church, which is a felony, police said, plus misdemeanor offenses including methamphetamine and paraphernalia possession as well as unlawful entry. Bail was set at $60,000. — Chris O’Neal

Fostering healing and helping one another

HELPING VETS WITH RESCUE ANIMALS

SHERIFF'S POSSE

ith a commitment to support both veterans and rescue animals, Lorin Lindner, PhD, MPH, and Matthew Simmons started the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center (LARC) in Northern Ventura County. It would benefit both parties when work was offered to veterans as well as the treatment of mental health using animal therapy. Lindner, the president of LARC and Serenity Park, is a clinical psychologist whose appreciation for psychoanalysis has only intensified since the days when she would read Freud from behind her sixth-grade reader, hoping that the teacher wouldn’t find out. During her career, she began a program overseeing veterans affected by trauma and tending to rescue parrots at a sanctuary; and a decade ago, she and Simmons opened LARC. Simmons, her husband and chief operating officer of LARC and Serenity Park, is a U.S. Navy veteran who served as a petty officer for two years of active duty and six years of inactive duty. His exit from the military left him with a sobering reality that fuels the work he shares with Lindner. “I needed help with recognizing that there was

even a problem I might face; I didn’t even have a debriefing. They just walked me off the plane. Knowing the signs and symptoms of stress-related disorders would have gotten me into treatment sooner,” Simmons stated. According to Lindner, the stigma attached to mental health is not only about the problems but about the treatments designed to address them. She noted that not all group therapies are appropriate for all veterans; hence LARC’s endeavor to offer support based on the common ties that unite many veterans as well as the particular needs of each individual. “Animals get right past the defenses, they do not stop at ‘Go’ — they go straight to our hearts. We grew up with animals both individually as children and also ecologically as a species; animals are inextricably tied to our well-being,” explained Lindner. “The big difference at our programs is that the animals are in need as well. They are also suffering from traumatic stress disorders, so that actually helps the veterans want to care for them and understand them better. They both suffer from the same stresses,” she added.

Erika Harding of Ventura disclosed that she does not “do idle well.” So the hairstylist and owner of Ventura’s ArchiTexture Salon endeavors to spend her time constructively. One of her biggest inspirations was her brother, who passed away from HIV/AIDS in 1992; he volunteered unwaveringly until he was physically unable to do so. “I figure it’s better for me to be helping others and contribute to society and my community than to waste any of the little precious time we have here on this planet,” she said. Harding serves with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Posse (Posse), a group of people who volunteer their time, horses and equipment in support of the sheriff through a range of details such as search and rescue, support of mounted sworn deputies (patrolling the Ventura County Fair, concerts, Conejo Valley Days, Fourth of July, etc.), and representing the sheriff in other capacities for public relations purposes (schools, parades, etc.). While the time she offers is dependent on demand as well as the needs of her business, Harding stated that serving with her horse (“my closest

THERAPY FOR THOSE IN NEED

FOSTER PARENT, FRIEND

Rhonda David, MS, LMFT, of Camarillo, has always been prone to sobbing uncontrollably when watching the film character Bambi lose his mother. For a long time, she perceived the compassion that led her to tears as a weakness; but now, she hopes that it provides her with insight into the needs of others and believes that it compels her to try to find ways to help. In 1996, she became a licensed marriage and family therapist; and in 2016, she opened Deep Life Solutions (DLS) in Camarillo, where she serves as president and executive clinical director. DLS operates on donations and offers counseling and community outreach that is provided by volunteer clinicians and administrators, including her daughter, Laurissa Jean Miller, who works as program director. The facility caters to both youth and adults, with sessions for families, couples and children. In the last two quarters of 2017, DLS served approximately 75 clients. “Our goal is to make sure no one suffers alone. Please come to DLS for help, but if you don’t want to come to us we encourage you to reach out to someone somewhere. We want to convey the message of hope and renew the belief in each other as avenues for healing together. We are stronger together,” David said. She noted that she has often heard from patients over the years about the belief that if mental illness is ignored, it will go away or “get smaller.” She aims to overcome such misconceptions through DLS, admitting that while the stigma of mental illness can be a significant hindrance to the organization’s mission and objectives, it is determined to provide the best care it can. “When I began this journey over 25 years ago, I was trained to help the client learn symptom

Jillian Abbott-Gonzalez, 12, of Camarillo, dreams of being a part of Broadway, both off and on stage. The theater is a passion and it has been instrumental in strengthening her voice and nurturing her spirit. At the age of 7, Jillian told her mother, Heather, about ongoing sexual assault by her uncle, describing it as “yucky” and asking for it to stop. She had not been the only victim of the predator who had been abusing children for decades; her confession led to his arrest and incarceration. Jillian made the decision to share her experience, and she often does so, especially among her peers at special events, assemblies, etc., or individually with those who have approached her with their own stories. In her opinion, opening up the conversation about this perhaps uncomfortable but important topic is a critical step toward finding ways for people to recognize signs of sexual assault, end the shaming of victims, and hopefully put an end to the abusive behavior altogether. The seventh-grader is intent on letting other youth who may be in the same situation know that they are not alone and, most importantly, that it is not their fault. “Kids don’t tell because they feel ashamed or at fault, because it’s scary and kids don’t usually understand what’s happening to them as most of the time it’s someone they trust. You need to speak up and tell, let your voice be heard,” Jillian said. Heather agrees with her daughter, and while she wishes that it was all a nightmare that never happened, she and her family are proud of their “Princess.” “Some people think we are crazy for letting her be in the public eye. However, she wants to do this. She wants to turn her story from a victim to a survivor. If her story helps one little girl or boy, then it is worth everything to us. All of us are on the journey with her; her brothers, her sister, we all want to bring this out of the darkness and stop shaming victims,” explained Heather.

Vanessa Webster-Smith of Camarillo is a busy woman who is trying to live as her mother did, by helping everyone, no matter the circumstance. She is the director of campus services at California Lutheran University and she is also a foster parent, a role that she embraced more than a decade ago to help continue the actions of a good friend who had died. Over the years, Webster-Smith has fostered, through the Ventura County Human Services Agency, more than 50 children ranging from days old up to 17 years old; children are in her care for a month to a year or more. “The most rewarding thing is helping a child see their inner beauty and watching them succeed. The most challenging is seeing so many broken youth who are so disengaged and broken. But once you give them the right foundation they begin to grow and flourish. They just need guidance and love,” she explained. It was one of those challenging moments that led her to adoption. She recalled that one of her foster children, Mario, came to her emotionally drained and with a fractured arm and leg. “I never thought I would adopt. But once my kids were with me I knew they were mine. It’s like it was meant to be. You just know,” she said, and noted that Mario proceeded to accomplish remarkable things. Webster-Smith reports that she is still in contact with many of her foster children, stating that it means a lot to her when they call to say hello or ask for advice. Essentially, helping others is her priority. And that priority is how she also quickly welcomed her colleague Dennis, into her home. When a kidney infection left him unable to care for

The many faces of love Kingsmen present Two Noble Kinsmen, Othello at CLU by Emily Dodi

ummer means many things: longer days, warmer nights and the Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival. Every summer for more than 20 years, the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company, the professional theater company of California Lutheran University, has been bringing the works of Shakespeare to life under a canopy of stars in Kingsmen Park. On June 29, the Kingsmen launch their 22nd festival with their first-ever production of The Two Noble Kinsmen. Widely regarded as Shakespeare’s final play, written in collaboration with his protégé John Fletcher, The Two Noble Kinsmen is “a beautiful mix of comedy, romance and tragedy,” says artistic director Michael Arndt. Inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Knight’s Tale, the work revolves around two cousins whose lifelong bond is tested beyond its limits when they fall in love with the same woman. Described by the Kingsmen as a “tragicomic story of betrayal, war, madness and all-consuming passion,” the play embodies the timeless appeal of Shakespeare’s works. Elizabeth Swain, a distinguished actor, director, teacher and member of the Antaeus Company in Glendale, makes her Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival debut as the play’s director. She has been wanting to direct The Two Noble Kinsmen since she saw a Royal Shakespeare Company production 30 years ago. “When Michael asked me to direct it, I was thrilled,” Swain says. She likens the play to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with its “push and pull of tragedy and comedy.” 10 — — June 28, 2018

Arndt says that the decision to produce the rarely performed Noblemen stems from the company’s desire to “expand the audience’s tastes as well as the types of shows we do, especially when we do a major play like Othello.” The great Shakespearean tragedy premieres July 20. “We push it every year,” Arndt adds. Ryan Lee, who last helmed Richard III on the Kingsmen stage, directs Othello, Shakespeare’s immortal work about a general who is overcome by paranoia and jealousy and driven to murder and ruin. Nowhere else in the Shakespeare canon are the themes of racism, misogyny, jealousy and revenge stronger than they are in Othello, but Lee chose to focus on a theme that resonates just as strongly within the work. “I wanted to make it about relationships. [Othello] is a really dysfunctional love story. Everyone is in love with someone they can’t have.” Lee says that he and the actors have been sharing their own relationship stories during rehearsals. “It’s been very cathartic,” says Lee. “[Othello] is so intimate.” He adds that he hopes audiences feel “like voyeurs looking at something very personal.” With the myriad themes coursing through both plays, it is interesting that both Swain and Lee sum up the plays in this way: “Love is complicated.” “It sounds trite but there are so many versions of love in The Two Noble Kinsmen,” says Swain. Forbidden, courtly, platonic, Sapphic, unrequited, doomed — Shakespeare explores the gamut of love and gives language to the inexpressible. Angela Gulner, a festival favorite who plays Hippolyta in Kinsmen and Emilia in Othello, echoes Swain’s and Lee’s sentiments. “There are so many

complicated relationships,” Gulner says. “I hope that people can feel a little bit of themselves in each person.” Resonating throughout the entire festival will be at least one powerful and clear expression of love. The season is dedicated to John Slade, the beloved director who died suddenly last summer. Losing Slade was a terrible loss and a shock to the company. It is in his memory that the company is focused on reinvigorating itself. “We’re looking forward to an exciting season,” says Arndt, who adds that it’s wonderful to “discover new stories.” Gulner seconds that emotion. “I’m excited for audiences to discover a new play.” It’s not often that one gets the chance to see both a rare Shakespeare play and a revered classic, performed by a worldclass company of actors, in a single festival. The Kingsmen offerings remind all of us that it’s well worth venturing out of our comfort zones. Other changes are afoot this season. In addition to producing a work that’s new to the company, the Kingsmen’s stage is being completely redesigned. “The look of the stage will be dramatically different,” says Arndt. The ticketing system has been revamped, too. For the first time, all tickets can be purchased online. New or familiar, Lee explains that with every Shakespeare play, “No matter what, you think you know it, but every time you do it, you find something new.” The Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival takes place June 29-Aug. 5 at Kingsmen Park, California Lutheran University, 60 W. Olsen Road, Thousand Oaks. For schedule, tickets and more information, visit www.kingsmenshakespeare.org.

his weekend, the Ventura Theater will host an event that goes beyond boundaries of all kinds. Loud and Queer: A Queer Artist Movement takes place on June 30, and it will encompass a wide range of “arts-based performances,” including “a curated lineup of a live vocal arranger, poets, musicians, singers, comedic performances and interpretive dance,” says Monique Gonzalez, the event’s creator, who adds that, “Proceeds will be going toward the LGBTQ+ youth groups of Rainbow Umbrella, One Step a la Vez and Coalition for Family Harmony.” Gonzalez says that she developed Loud and Queer as a way to provide a platform specifically for LGBTQ+ and genderexpansive talent. “There are so many talented queer artists, including myself, who don’t feel there are enough spaces that are queer-centered,” Gonzalez explains. “As a spoken-word artist, I found myself driving to L.A. to do LGBTQ+ open mics, where I felt safer, and I have heard that from other poets as well. In my opinion, what has been lacking in Ventura County are LGBTQ+ events. We want to be visible in spaces that allow us to be creative and share our stories in many ways, where others in the LGBTQ+ community can come and feel heard.” Entertainment will include DJ Patty Clover, vocal arranger Box of Beats, comedian Narcizo Gonzalez, poets Linda Ravenswood and Edwin Rodney, performer Amanda-Faye Jimenez and hip-hop artist Vanessa Lynnae. “Overall, you will see a wide variety of performances that include raising awareness on the importance of intersectionality as well as just being in a space where you can authentically be yourself,” says Gonzalez. “Most of all, they will offer inspiration to the LGBTQ+ youth to find their voices and explore their creative side.” Gonzalez was an organizer for the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which took place in Oxnard in November. She harnessed the support of other TDOR committee members and, by “the grace of credit cards and some amazing organizations,” coordinated the June 30 event. Gonzalez credits the Diversity Collective, All Saints Episcopal Church in Oxnard, Conejo Valley Pride Committee, The Arts Collaborative, Paddy’s, the VC Networking Group and Artist’s Brew creator Danielle Stacy for their support. “The Coalition for Family Harmony will be providing onsite counselors at the event, as some of the spoken-word material may be triggering,” she adds. But mostly, Loud and Queer will be a joyous, inclusive celebration of art and music, one that transcends differences in culture, gender identity and creative expression. Loud and Queer takes place on Saturday, June 30, at 7 p.m. at the Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut Ave., Ventura. For tickets and more information, call 805-653-0721, visit www.venturatheater.net or find Loud and Queer on Facebook.

enefit concerts tend to fall into two camps, with superstar-driven megashows like Live Aid or Farm Aid raising tens of millions of dollars in one epic swoop, or local bar musicians jamming together to raise a few grand for a fellow performer’s medical bills. But for the past three years, drummer Kevin Wachs has been part of an impressive collective of veteran Los Angeles-area rockers who have managed to raise over $1 million in seven concerts for such worthy causes as the City of Hope cancer research center in Duarte and the Midnight Mission homeless outreach program in downtown L.A. The series of concerts has revolved around theme nights such as its debut concert, “The Beach Boys and the California Sound,” and the “All-Star Charity Rock ’N’ Roll Christmas Show.” On Tuesday, band members will be attempting to provide 50,000 meals to feed the homeless this winter when the latest endeavor, “The Decades Show,” hits the stage of The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills. The evening will donate 100 percent of proceeds from ticket sales, and an online auction will benefit Hope of the Valley, My Stuff Bags and other local homelessness charity organizations. “Musicians who make a living with their music realize how blessed they are, getting to do what they truly love as their career, so we find that it’s easy to get them to give back on nights like this,” says Wachs. “The chance to come together and play with artists like The Honeys, who did backing vocals for The Beach Boys on some of their best songs, or Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees is already a thrill, but to do it for a great cause is even better.” The lineup for the “Decades” concert is as extensive as it is impressive, featuring actor/singer Rob Morrow (Northern Exposure), singer Carly Smithson (American Idol), Freebo (Bonnie Raitt), Rosemary Butler (Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt), Carl Verheyen (Supertramp), Gary Griffin (Brian Wilson), John Wicks (The Records), Lamont Dozier Jr. (Motown), Rick Braun and Jeff Alan

Ross (Badfinger). Also included are The Honeys, Gary Stockdale (Brian Setzer), John Pratt, Steve Goddard, Adam Daniel, MJ Ultra, Steve Postell, poet Stephen Kalinich, musical director Gary Pickus (Alan Thicke), Marc Mann (Danny Elfman, ELO) and Fuzzbee Morse (Bono, Peter Gabriel). Special appearances will be made by Walter Egan and psych-rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock. It’s been an unsually busy year for the collective, as it hosted a Thomas Fire benefit concert in January before doing two nights of the “Decades” show for the City of Hope at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on June 22 and 23. Wachs runs a beauty care company called Earthly Body, and his Chatsworth office building houses both his own company and the rehearsal space for The Tribe. Half the band consists of full-time professional musicians, while the remaining half is made up of those who are skilled but have other careers to pay the bills. “I’ve played professionally as a drummer but not my main source of income by any stretch or I’d be starving,” laughs Wachs. “We have a couple lawyers, a fitness instructor, a couple people retired from their jobs, web designer, and then there’s Rob Morrow, whom everyone knows from acting but is a hell of a musician. Whether it’s those guys like me or full-time pros, it’s all come together through friends of friends bringing each other in.” “There’s a lot of great memories from these shows, but Mary Wells of the Supremes performing a medley of Supremes hits had to be my personal favorite, along with playing with Mickey Dolenz since The Monkees had such great songs,” says Wachs. “But the really fun part is the challenge of playing the greatest songs of the rock era with fantastic musicians while raising money for great causes.” ✦ The Tribe performs “The Decades Show” at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.) at The Canyon Club, 28912 Roadside Drive, Agoura Hills.

The next showcase was the roasted pork rillette, a classic French preparation. Laid open-face style upon house-made wheat charcoal bread, for which the grains were personally milled in Los Osos, the buttery pork was the foundation for spicy coleslaw, a whole mustard seed compound and pickled cucumber slices. The attention to detail of these items formed a strong supporting cast, allowing the true rich flavor of the rillette to take center stage. The chicken larb — a traditional Lao salad consisting of ground meat — was the third leg of the journey. Infused with achiote, cumin and fermented banana, and cooked in its own fat, the larb was complex and yet stayed true to its roots. Accompanying hibiscus pickled onions and toasted pepitas rounded out the piece, rendering it ready to be blanketed by magnificent magenta lettuce rounds, which were dusted in kale salt and banana peel powder. It was a sweet and savory marriage that skipped the formalities of a reception and sprinted straight to the delectable honeymoon. Rounding out the fantastic affair was a phenomenal masa-flour flatbread, layered with sharp Oaxaca cheese, mushroom mole sauce, sliced portobello mushrooms, toasted sesame seeds, avocado leaf oil and a unique hoja santa leaf, otherwise known as root beer plant. Habanera tangelo fermented carrots accompanied to serve as a hybridized form of the traditional Mexican pickled garnish, touched with the colorful addition of calendula petals. Also worth noting, around 60 percent of the produce is supplied by local vegetable whisperer John Fontaine and his Rio Gozo farms, proving once again that buying local is not only ideal for the economy but for the taste buds as well. Originally deciding to forgo the sweet bakery offerings that enticed, I was on such a food high that reconsideration was in order. So as to treat myself, I sauntered back to the counter and requested an espresso and gluten-free cinnamon roll. (Unlike most GF pastries it was divine upon a quick visit to the oven back at my house.) The espresso was so stout in its resolve that I considered tap dancing my way out the door like a bug-eyed cartoon character, though I refrained so as not to bowl over the growing line of patrons waiting to experience the elation I had just. So as I reservedly exited Beacon/Gargantua, I gave a nod to Chef Barainca and the staff, and happily went on my way to a watering hole to hoist up a glass and continue my homage to a legend in the most appropriate fashion. ♦

companion”) as a representative of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office is an experience that brings her joy. Moreover, the skills that she has acquired and honed are invaluable. “We have extensive, ongoing trainings that have not only made me a better rider, but also a better human. We are lucky that the Sheriff’s Department has invested so much time in training us,” she explained. During the Thomas Fire, the Posse assisted Ventura County Animal Services with animal evacuations. Although the ranch where Harding boarded her horse was badly affected, it was able to evacuate most of the horses; and despite the loss of 50 head of cattle, the cattle foreman and his family were able to save all the structures and the remaining horses. The fire missed Harding’s business, ArchiTexture Salon, by a handful of blocks so she opened her doors to those who may be in need, offering hot coffee, complimentary shampoo/blow-dry, phone charging and respite. This was not the first time that Harding offered free services at her salon. For at least two decades, she has provided free makeovers/ wig styling to cancer patients and those on chemotherapy treatments. She cannot recall if it was a hair donation for a wig or a client going through chemotherapy that motivated her to offer the service but she is certain that it is an honor to be able to provide assistance to clients during what can be a difficult transition. “I try to make it as smooth as possible. Then as the hair grows back in, it is often much different than before. I will do color and haircuts for them until we have a good, healthy head of hair back,” said Harding. Some of her contributions over the last year include volunteer and donation efforts during Hurricane Harvey and the Santa Rosa Fire, organized by her friend Loanne Wullaert. Encouraged by the tireless endeavors of chefs Jason Collis and Tim Kilcoyne, Harding volunteered with Chef Jose Andres’ L.A. Kitchen to feed first responders and those displaced by the fires and mudslides. She also worked with the Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade after the mudslide and,due to the fires, Harding decided to become a platelet donor. F

management based on standard diagnostic criteria. Although this perspective is still very important, in the last decade or so we have done more research on the deeper effects of trauma and discovered new treatments that can actually expel a great deal of these effects out of the body and mind, never to return,” explained David. These new treatments include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, brainspotting, neurobiofeedback and neuro-linguistic programming. As far as the efforts in local mental health care, David counts herself lucky to work among many extremely hardworking people whom she considers as creating a positive and lasting effect in people’s lives. “I am grateful to be involved in the field of behavioral science. But my concern is, service providers don’t always unite and work as a team. They keep to themselves and don’t collaborate. We need more collaboration and teamwork. I sometimes even see competition amongst providers. I don’t believe there is a place for this. It takes away from our true purpose, which is serving others,” she said. DLS also serves others through community outreach including volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club by offering psycho-education, and having recently consulted with the psychiatric staff at Cal State University, Channel Islands, to further develop workshops and services to support the students. The organization intends to launch “Deep Steps,” a program that operates on the 12-step format, to help veterans and their families with the stress of reentry, family adjustment and PTSD. Meanwhile, David revealed, she still has considerable aspirations for DLS, which began with two counselors and two volunteers and now has five counselors and two licensed supervisors; the plan is to double its numbers of clients served this year. The donation-based organization is currently searching for a new office space that is not only more affordable but has more space for its groups. Also, as believers in animal and equine therapy, DLS is looking for partners to join in developing a program with this specialty and hopes to help enrich the community by hosting family-fun events in the future. David looks forward to “a collaboration of many agencies and volunteers making a difference for the betterment of mental health in our community, thereby reducing the effects of public and private violence, creating a stronger, safer and more connected society.” F

himself, Webster-Smith took him in. “Dennis is a part of my family. He is like a grandparent to my family. I coordinate his entire doctor and physical therapy appointments, make sure he is eating correctly, monitor his breathing machines and medication, make sure he is always looked after so he does not fall or injure himself. He goes on family vacations and events. He is treated like family, not like a patient or someone who is being looked after,” she said. Usually, Webster-Smith is responsible for six people in her household at any given time, although that number does grow from time to time. On a typical day, she wakes up at 5:30 a.m., checks on Dennis, prepares the children for school, gets ready for work, does some chores, takes the children to school, ensures that Dennis and his caretaker have everything they need. Then she goes to work. Later she picks up or drops off kids to/from activities, checks on Dennis, oversees dinner, dishes, medication distribution, showers, laundry, small chores and then off to bed. She may be busy but WebsterSmith is more focused on how her time positively impacts others. “I just aspire to be a good person; that’s F all that I can be.”

The Parrot C.A.R.E. and Warriors and Wolves programs at LARC assist veterans through what Simmons described as a “Band of Brothers” approach. Veterans enrolled in the latter are also offered a family reunification program, which helps nurture their roles in the lives of their loved ones and reunite them through the aforementioned pack approach, which is adapted from wolves. Although LARC rescues and nurtures various animals, wolves seemingly play an integral role. Simmons started the WolfGuard, a work therapy program that employs 10 to 20 veterans a year and aims to monitor and protect the wolf from an increase in hunting. To participate in the LARC program, veterans must be clean and sober for six months verified by program enrollment at the VA or a fellowship program. While it typically lasts six to 12 months, ultimately, program duration is determined based on an individual’s needs. Simmons acknowledged that wolves scare people and that the fear is ingrained into society. Nonetheless, he is intent on conveying the fact that the hunting of wolves impacts every animal on land in North America. “If you enjoy a healthy environment you should support the wolf. Wolves are essential for a healthy ecosystem. The fact is, the wolves and wolfdogs in our care are loving creatures, just like your dog, and want belly rubs. Those that don’t, we don’t allow contact with. And the veterans benefit greatly from the relationships they have with these animals, as do the animals,” he said. So what does success at LARC look like? Animals re-create packs and flocks that they may have missed for years (or decades in the case of parrots), which allows them to live a more natural, fulfilled life rather than one in solitary confinement. Meanwhile, veterans retain permanent employment, housing, reunification with family, and they stay clean and sober. Lindner believes that Ventura County, with organizations like Gold Coast Veterans, is now taking positive steps to help veterans. Furthermore, the VA health-care centers (nationally) are more prepared and are providing up-to-date services, especially for women, and current evidence-based practices are being implemented. “However, innovative treatments like equine therapy and other animal-based therapies, as well as other innovations that help veterans, are not getting enough attention and funding. We have a long waiting list with veterans I worry about every day because they feel like we are ‘the last house on the block’ for them, but we do not have the funding to hire

them. We pay our veterans for this work therapy as we don’t believe they should have to volunteer their services again,” she concluded. Simmons added that veterans still need and seek understanding and compassion from their community. “They [veterans] need a flexible work schedule so they can attend their PTSD groups and medical appointments without being penalized by employers. Health care that is available without having to go to a V.A. hospital since many veterans prefer to live outside of cities where most services exist. Right now the waiting times to see a physician affiliated with the V.A.’s Tricare program are unacceptable. Also, many physicians will not accept the low fees offered by the V.A. to see veterans so the vets have to look farther and farther from home for medical care,” he said. Each year, the couple hosts the Veterans’ Day Extravaganza with the help of Metabolic Studio and Operation Gratitude. For the past seven years, the event has been held at the West L.A. V.A. and attracts 5,000 to 7,000 veterans and their families. Attendees are provided with meals and gift giveaways and, through the Westside Food Bank, grocery giveaways. Lindner and Simmons aim to do more. They want to offer housing and long-term employment, with Lindner citing those as the signatures of successful integration back into society. “Current funding limitations restrict the number of veterans enrolled in the program and potential housing we can provide. If the permitting process was more streamlined we could provide housing more quickly for veterans in need. We would like to build cabins for the veterans and we need funding and resources for that. We have plenty of space,” said Simmons. F For more information, visit www. lockwoodarc.org

Mother and daughter are involved with VOICES of Ventura County, a group comprising women who are survivors of violence and abuse, dedicated to spreading awareness and supporting one another and victims. Last year, the Abbott-Gonzalez family launched the Camarillo Junior Theatre (CJT), a children’s theater company, as a continuous means of empowerment for their daughter and others. They hope to be able to give a voice to as many children as possible. Jillian is excited to star as Sharpay this summer in CJT’s production of High School Musical. She is grateful to her parents for immediately believing her and for their continued support. In turn, she looks forward to her life ahead, as well as to giving some form of help to those who may be victims of sexual abuse. “He may have taken away my childhood, but thanks to my parents, he will not take away my future,” she said.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Not quite dino-mite by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Directed by J.A. Bayona Starring: Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt, Rafe Spall, James Cromwell Rated PG-13 for intense scenes of science-fiction violence and peril. 2 hrs. 8 min.

every theater, prior to any feature, there are previews, reminders to turn off all smart phones, an admonition not to talk during the film and maybe a brief quiz about the movie. In this case, a math equation: dinosaur plus globe, an equals sign and a crown having obviously crashed to the ground. The answer, of course, was the feature presentation: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. An easy test, and a representative one on several levels. As movie franchises go, this saga of reanimated paleolithic creatures has been a smashing success. Five films, over $2 billion dollars at the box office worldwide. I’ll not soon forget my anticipation of seeing prehistoric reptiles come to life on screen in so realistic a way. Until the original Jurassic Park, depictions of dinosaurs were limited to animation, papier-mâché robots and the B-movie nonsense of gluing prosthetics to lizards and filming them on a miniature set. Michael Crichton’s novel was visionary; Stephen Spielberg’s concepts and direction were groundbreaking; and the movie, utterly fascinating. Fred Flintstone wasn’t going to zip down the neck of any of these brachio-

sauri, and yabba-dabba-doo would be a cry for help, not the end of a work day. That was 1993. Now, 25 years and millions of toy raptors later, it’s all as firmly etched into pop culture as the bones of real dinosaurs themselves. The goal of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it seems, is to keep the fascination brewing for another generation. Directed by J.A. Bayona, scripted by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, it succeeds at keeping the franchise alive. West of Costa Rica lies Isla Nublar, once the home of Jurassic Park, now a shambles, with a dormant volcano ready to blow and incinerate the dino-life that remains there. Aging, sickly billionaire Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), a one-time partner of the park’s founder, John Hammond (the late Richard Attenborough), engages a team to save the animals from a second extinction. Bryce Dallas Howard returns as Claire Dearing, a former park employee who joins forces with her ex-boyfriend and erstwhile raptor-whisperer, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), a paleo-veterinarian (Daniella Pineda) and a tech nerd (Justice Smith) to form the moral core of the effort to relocate the beasts to another island sanctuary — with the same protections as other endangered species. What could go wrong? You might have guessed that there’s more afoot here than preserving reanimated life that should have remained extinct in the first place. Villainous shenanigans abound, lest the film’s

only antagonists be rexes, raptors and the eruptions of red-hot magma that threaten them. To those not yet jaded by the sight of giant paleo creatures filling a 30-foot screen, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom makes for bristling excitement. Director Bayona and writers Trevorrow and Connolly revisit all the frights and foibles, the cinematic splendor and uncanny computer-generated images. It’s not dull. But like an actual paleo dig site, it’s ground that’s been gone over. The startling, sharp-toothed, formerly extinct leviathans that ruled the planet again rule the screen, darting out of nowhere, blasting their gale-force breath, drooling a river of saliva and baring those ski-sized teeth, putting them to work gnashing flesh and sending jolts through the crowd. Once the malevolent human types have been munched like a bag of dino-chips, you know another film will be in the offing. The higher-than-expected $150 million it made over the weekend in the U.S. and Canada would ensure that. One can only hope that the series, as it moves forward, will somehow regain a modicum of the wonder it pro♦ jected when it all began.

you about what’s likely to be in store for them if they hit on you — a hot time in bed or years of painful skin grafts from a 300-degree pumpkin latte you throw in their face. Oh, right — you say you smile at the guys you like. Consider that from a guy’s perspective: Maybe you were smiling at him — or maybe at some CrossFit Adonis standing right behind him. A single ambiguous signal isn’t a reliable message — that is, a reliably actionable message — especially when there’s risk involved in taking action. (In hitting on you, there’s the possibility of public humiliation — maybe even of the “Whoa, the YouTube video is going viral!” kind.) It also doesn’t help that a smile requires very little investment from you — in effort or risk. Amotz Zahavi, an Israeli zoologist who studies signaling — behavioral communication between individuals or critters — points out that signals that are more “costly” to the sender are read as more trustworthy (and usually are).

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Your best ideas and soundest decisions will materialize as if by magic while you’re lounging around doing nothing in a worry-free environment. So please make sure you have an abundance of relaxed slack and unhurried grace. Treat yourself to record-setting levels of comfort and self-care. Do whatever’s necessary for you to feel as safe as you have ever felt. I realize that these prescriptions might ostensibly clash with your fiery Aries nature. But if you meditate on them for even two minutes, I bet you’ll agree they’re exquisitely appropriate for you right now.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20):

“It is always what is under pressure in us, especially under pressure of concealment — that explodes in poetry.” Taurus poet Adrienne Rich wrote that in an essay about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was describing the process of tapping into potent but buried feelings so as to create beautiful works of literature. I’m hoping to persuade you to take a comparable approach: to give voice to what’s under pressure inside you, but in a graceful and constructive way that has positive results.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Introductory offers are expiring. The bracing thrills of novelty must ripen into the cool enjoyments of maturity. It’s time to finish the dress rehearsals so the actual show can begin. You’ve got to start turning big, bright fantasies into crisp, no-nonsense realities. In light of these shifting conditions, I suspect that you can no longer use your good intentions as leverage, but must deliver more tangible signs of commitment. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but the cosmic machinery in your vicinity needs some actual oil, not just your witty stories about the

by rob brezsny

oil and the cosmic machinery.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

In the coming weeks, you will have an excellent chance to dramatically decrease your Wimp Quotient. As the perilously passive parts of your niceness toughen up, I bet you will encounter brisk possibilities that were previously off-limits or invisible to you. To ensure you remain in top shape for this delightful development, I think you should avoid entertainment that stimulates fear and pessimism. Instead of watching the latest flurry of demoralizing stories on Netflix, spend quality time summoning memories of the times in your life when you were unbeatable. For extra credit, pump your fist 10 times each day as you growl, “Victory is mine!”

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

It’s not so bad to temporarily lose your bearings. What’s bad is not capitalizing on the disruption that caused you to lose your bearings. So I propose that you regard the fresh commotion as a blessing. Use it as motivation to initiate radical changes. For example, escape the illusions and deceptions that caused you to lose your bearings. Explore unruly emotions that may be at the root of the superpowers that you will fully develop in the future. Transform yourself into a brave self-healer who is newly receptive to a host of medicinal clues that were not previously accessible.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Here’s my list of demands: 1. Avoid hanging out with people who are unreceptive to your influence. 2. Avoid hanging out with people whose influence on you is mediocre or dispiriting. 3. Hang out with people who are receptive to your influence and whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating. 4. Influ-

ence the hell out of the people who are receptive to your influence. Be a generous catalyst for them. Nudge them to surpass the limits they would benefit from surpassing. 5. Allow yourself to be deeply moved by people whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” Activist author Audre Lorde said that, and now, in accordance with your current astrological and psychological needs, I’m offering it to you. I realize it’s a flamboyant, even extreme, declaration, but in my opinion, that’s what is most likely to motivate you to do the right thing. Here’s another splashy prompt, courtesy of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre: “We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made us.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

André René Roussimoff, also known as André the Giant, was a French actor and professional wrestler. He was 7 feet, 4 inches tall and weighed 520 pounds. As you might imagine, he ate and drank extravagantly. On one festive occasion, he quaffed 119 bottles of beer in six hours. Judging from your current astrological indicators, Scorpio, I suspect you may be ready for a binge like that. JUST KIDDING! I sincerely hope you won’t indulge in such wasteful forms of “pleasure.” The coming days should be a time when you engage in a focused pursuit of uplifting and healthy modes of bliss. The point is to seek gusto and amusement that enhance your body, mind and soul.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

On her 90th birthday, my Great-Aunt Zosia told me, “The best gift you can give your ego is to make it see it’s both totally insignificant and totally important in the cosmic scheme of things.” Jenna, my girlfriend when I was 19, was perhaps touting a similar principle when, after teasing and tormenting me for two hours, she scrawled on my bathroom mirror in lipstick, “Sometimes you enjoy life better if you don’t understand it.” Then there’s my Zen punk friend Arturo, who says that life’s goodies are more likely to flow your way if you “hope for nothing and are open to everything.” According to my analysis of the astrological rhythms, these messages will help you make the most of the bewildering but succulent opportunities that are now arriving in your vicinity.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

In accordance with the astrological beacons, I have selected two pieces of advice to serve as your guiding meditations during the next seven weeks. You might want to write them on a piece of paper that you will carry in your wallet or pocket. Here’s the first, from businessman Alan Cohen: “Only those who ask for more can get more, and only those who know there is more, ask.” Here’s the second, from writer G. K. Chesterton: “We need to be happy in this wonderland without once being merely comfortable.”

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Ecologists in Mexico City investigated why certain sparrows and finches use humans’ discarded cigarette butts in building their nests. They found that cellulose acetate, a chemical in the butts, protects the nests by repelling parasitic mites. Is there a metaphorical lesson you might draw from the birds’ ingenious adaptation, Aquarius? Could you find good use for what might seem to be dross or debris? My analysis of the astrological omens says that this

possibility is worth meditating on.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

I suspect that sometime soon you will come into possession of an enchanted potion or pixie dust or a pouch full of magic beans — or the equivalent. If and when that occurs, consider the following protocols: 1. Before you use your new treasure, say a prayer to your higher self, requesting that you will be guided to use it in such a way as to make yourself wiser and kinder. 2. When you use it, be sure it harms no one. 3. Express gratitude for it before and during and after using it. 4. Use it in such a way that it benefits at least one other person or creature in addition to you. 5. See if you can use it to generate the arrival of more pixie dust or magical beans or enchanted potion in the future. 6. When you use it, focus on wielding it to get exactly what you want, not what you sort of want or temporarily want. Homework: Describe the tree house you would like to build for yourself one day, and what pleasures you would like to pursue there. Write: Truthrooster@ gmail.com.

to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $428,486.53 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that

the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction. com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000488-17-1.

NOTICE TO

LEGAL POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-4351. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CARL FRANK CORTRIGHT CASE NO. 56-201800512182-PR-PW-OXN To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the lost WILL or estate, or both of CARL FRANK CORTRIGHT. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JANICE L. PITTS in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JANICE L. PITTS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s lost WILL and codicils,

if any, be admitted to probate. The lost WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act . (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 07/26/18 at 9:00AM in Dept. J6 located at 4353 E. VINEYARD AVENUE, OXNARD, CA 93036 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of

letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner JENNIFER N.
