OPINION Editorial

Misrepresenting the issues False positive: a test result that incorrectly indicates that a particular condition or attribute is present. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when political activists who were not local to the area started showing up at small-town rallies, protests and at city council meetings. Perhaps it’s always been the status quo, but for those unaware of it happening in general, it may seem to have come to the forefront with the election of President Donald Trump. At the end of 2016 and throughout 2017, small rallies grew exponentially because people were traveling to participate in them instead of and/or perhaps in addition to holding their own local events. At one particular rally on March 4, 2017, in support of Trump off Mills Road in Ventura, many of the participants were from out of the county. At that time, these nomadic activists became obvious. It’s unclear if certain politically charged events grew out of local concern or were set up by a bigger group to draw attention and stir commotion on a microscale in multiple locations. It’s also uncertain if there is any particular incentive for out-of-towners to show up at these events. While large national and global marches were sure to attract people from all over to gather in solidarity and show mass in numbers at central locations, such as big cities, traveling activists at small-scale happenings seem a bit unusual. And misleading. But there is something to the strategy to think globally, act locally. With the inauguration of Trump, fear-fueled reactions to the president’s divisive language and actions against immigrants, which included travel bans and a proposal to build a wall along the Mexico-U.S. border. In response to the anti-immigrant sentiment, California lawmakers passed in October, Senate Bill 54, the so-called sanctuary state legislation that restricts the ability of local and state law enforcement to work with federal immigration authorities. The law went into effect on Jan. 1. By March, however, one city took a stand. On March 19, the City Council of Los Alamitos in Orange County passed, 4-1, an ordinance exempting local authorities from adhering to SB-54. The Orange County Board

Letters Dishonest, desperate tactics

id you recently receive a mailer from Recall organizer AARON STARR? I was appalled to see all of the distortions and dishonesty about my council colleagues and myself in the latest mailer. And Mr. Starr promises more of the same tactics. Please don’t be a low-information voter, fooled by lies and words on a mailer. Do your own research, get informed and make the right choice. Consider the lack of integrity of a person who wants to be on council by utilizing misleading information 4— — May 17, 2018

of Supervisors and several other cities followed suit to some degree by either filing a federal lawsuit or joining a lawsuit over the legitimacy of the sanctuary law or enacting ordinances that exempt a municipality from abiding by SB-54. Any lawsuits over the issue are still pending, and there are questions about whether cities can exempt themselves from state laws. But the curious concern is what prompted the backlash, especially as it grows, to SB-54 — local lawmakers, local residents or out-of-towners with an agenda? To all appearances, Los Alamitos seems to have the most legitimacy, given that Orange County is well-known for its conservative base. When the pushback spread to Ventura County, especially at a regular City Council meeting in Thousand Oaks on May 1, it became obvious that some of the anger against SB-54 that was on display was not from the City Council’s constituents. Worse, as local elected officials weigh their political futures, they could easily be swayed by vocal groups, even if that doesn’t reflect the reality of actual residents and is, in fact, deceptive. We are all for participation in the political process, but setting a fire in someone else’s town to push political ideologies that do not represent local perspectives is simply wrong. It’s difficult to say whether it’s passion that pushed these people to places outside of their hometowns or something nefarious, but if people want change in how their own cities are being represented, then local residents need to get up and speak for themselves or use the local media as a platform to be heard in news stories and/or letters. This carpetbagging political activism is an unfortunate byproduct of democracy, and indifference over involvement perpetuates the problem. The question is, why would any elected official pay attention to nonconstituents? It is unclear how far passionate and politically divisive people will go, but we have a suggestion. If showing up to regular city council meetings won’t fit your schedule, email your perspectives on SB-54 and other issues to editor@vcreporter.com. Letters live on in perpetuity.

that distorts the truth to get a seat there. The last sentence attempts to mislead you the voter into thinking that the Ventura County District Attorney is investigating Oxnard City Council. THERE IS NO INVESTIGATION INTO THE CONDUCT OF CURRENT COUNCIL MEMBERS BY THE VENTURA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY. The only reason for these words on the mailer is to mislead and misinform Oxnard voters. Please don’t fall for this unethical and dishonest tactic. This is desperation! False accusations: “Free junket to China” In August 2016, I was invited by California State Treasurer John

Chiang to participate in a trade delegation with other elected officials and business leaders from Southern California and Nevada to promote the California economy, business and tourism. There was NO expense charged to Oxnard residents. “Free lodging in Europe” Since 2005, I have been a board member for the Center for Civic Education, a national nonprofit devoted to promoting democratic practice in the U.S. and throughout the world. In 2013, I was invited to represent the center at a conference on democracy and minority populations, hosted by the German government. I paid for the airfare and the German government provided accommodations and most meals for the weeklong conference. There was NO expense charged to Oxnard residents. “Free outings to the Colorado River, Hoover Dam, Sacramento Delta” Oxnard is a member agency of Calleguas Municipal Water District, which contracts with the Metropolitan Water District and provides about one-third of Oxnard’s water. This District routinely invites elected and civic leaders to learn about essential water facilities, including the Sacramento Delta, Oroville Dam and the Colorado River installations, which provide water to most of Southern California, including Oxnard. I have attended two of these trips but have never ever visited Hoover Dam. NO expense was charged to Oxnard residents. Dodger tickets: A friend of more than 20 years offered me one pair of tickets to a game last year, as he unexpectedly was not able to the game. I attended the game and reported this. My friend does not do business with the city of Oxnard. Symphony tickets: I have received a pair of tickets from the New West Symphony in the past in order to allow me to make a presentation to the audience. I am a subscriber to NWS and do not need free tickets to attend.

Coffee Bar Economics, Part 1 I by Raymond Freeman

have been giving presentations around Ventura County on economic issues. These issues often decide elections, but few people understand them. Crucially, one did. Donald Trump told people he would make Yuuge Money for them. This is called an economics message. At rallies at airports he posed in front of his Boeing 757 boldly marked “TRUMP.” This is called marketing. Sadly, Hillary Clinton had pathetic marketing and ignored Bill’s maxim, “It’s the economy, stupid!” There were other reasons Trump won, such as his lies, his pandering to Nazism and racism, his saturation coverage by the media, low voter turnout and the idiotic behavior of F.B.I. Director James Comey. The 80,000 voters who tipped the balance were in the Rust Belt. Interestingly, nearly all were impoverished whites, making economic and social issues coincide. As my presentation is aimed at the average Joe Blow, I call it Coffee Bar Economics. It considers real-world money for real-world people. I have taken it to a union and five Democratic clubs. Leading Democrats have said that it is “stellar” and “excellent” (shameless plug). Here follows a three-part synopsis.

Letters Continued from Page 4 attend meetings. None of these items violates any political or any ethical rules. I am proud of my public service. My colleagues and I work very hard at our part\-time job, which takes full-time attention.

Response to: BOILING POINT | Anger after death of Ventura man sparks demonstration, demand for action on city’s homeless. Our Police Chief Ken Corney was very candid, informed and professional as he spoke to our group over a year ago about the homeless issue. His officers try to respond to citizens’ complaints when they feel threatened or harassed by members of the homeless community, but Chief Corney stated, police are trained in law enforcement not mental health.

People are shocked when they learn how far Americans have fallen behind. The average person is just getting by. The median personal income last year was a miserable $31,100 (Federal Reserve). Another shock is how much incomes at the top have skyrocketed. The top 1 percent now earn as much as the bottom 50 percent of the entire nation (World Inequality Report). America’s inequality is worse than in the Great Gatsby’s days. The cause of this is the separation of wage growth from productivity growth due to workers’ sharply reduced bargaining power. Someone paid $50K a year is now being cheated out of $25K (Economic Policy Institute). Based on average productivity, that person should get $75K. America’s greatest economic problem is its low wages. How so? Another word for workers is “customers.” If you read business magazines you will find that they talk about customers rather a lot. Of course; they keep those businesses going: The higher the wages (productivity permitting) the better all businesses do. Wealth inequality is even more staggering. This refers to your net worth, or savings and investments (your “stash” or “loot”). In 2017, the top 0.1 percent (a tenth of one percent) had

This takes a slimmed-down police force away from known law enforcement issues as they try to determine priorities. Our homeless population consists of veterans, those left jobless by layoffs, recessions, automation and those caught up in the cycle of poverty and ignorance; and some of them are what I call “lazy and self-destructive” people unable to conform or always wanting to “play” the system. Most of the homeless have some degree of mental illness or have lost not only jobs but the self-esteem and skills needed to rejoin society. Also about 40 to 50 years ago our federal government decided they could save money by closing our state hospitals and mental facilities, which is a big contributor to this problem. What I have said here should be nothing new for anyone who cares, researches and wants solutions to a very big and growing problem. Instead of partisan, inflammatory rhetoric and propaganda which accomplishes nothing but further hate, violence and division, we need action. There has to be some quick steps taken such as additional police officers that can form an effective “task force” similar to what the Ventura Police Department did years ago to deal effectively and humanely with a growing gang problem. But there also needs to be a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution like rebuilding our mental health infrastructure and nonintrusive basic housing for the homeless similar to River Haven but on a much larger and more permanent scale. I would also suggest something similar to military barracks man-

as much loot stashed away as the bottom 90 percent of the entire nation (Business Insider). The bottom 9 percent have nothing. A broken taillight could land them in jail and wipe them out. Next, we look at cold hard numbers from the cold hard world. Courtesy of the 2017 Global Wealth Report from Credit Suisse, here is a list of Joe Blow’s median personal wealth in certain countries. Norway’s numbers shown below includes $190K for each citizen’s share of its unique Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Peace treaty That peace may be coming to the Korean Peninsula is remarkable. Just a few weeks ago, a peace treaty between South and North Korea seemed impossible. I am elated by this development, which can be attributed primarily, I believe, to the newly elected South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who strenuously campaigned from the beginning for peace between the two countries. And if President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un can bring about peace between the U.S. and North Korea, I will have to give them credit even though in my opinion Kim Jung-un is a ruthless murderer and Donald Trump an inveterate con artist or worse. I am reminded that Richard Nixon, the first U.S. President to be forced out of office for criminal behavior, and Mao Tse-tung, who killed millions, brought peace between the U.S. and China. And President Franklin Roosevelt and Win-

Sanders wants it for America. We were once the envy of the world. “There was once a time in America when you could work 40 hours a week, your spouse didn’t have to work, and you retired at 60 with a pension” (Nick Hanauer, billionaire). What went wrong? Is China to blame? No. In the global economy, other countries also contend with China. Between 1985 and 2008, after inflation, wages grew 220 percent in Denmark and 194 percent in Germany, for example. But in the U.S., Joe Blow’s wages grew a microscopic 0.47 percent. How so? Conservatives redesigned America’s economy to benefit the wealthy (“crony capitalism” or “socialism for the rich”). There were three ways: 1.) Reaganomics; 2.) badly executed free trade; 3.) abysmal industrial policy. Reaganomics is also called “trickle-down economics.” George Bush Senior called it “voodoo economics.” The numbers above are clear proof that he was correct. Purely as a silly question, Republicans, why are citizens in Australia 3.5 times richer than here? And Canada, 1.6 times? Put this to Rep. Steve Knight (R-Simi Valley) and watch him wriggle. ♦

Short-sighted situation Tax time has just passed, and this year I’m thinking about what our community gets for the taxes it pays. In Ventura County, a third of us speak Spanish at home; many work in the county’s $2 billion agriculture economy. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy says that our undocumented, non-English-speaking residents pay $61 million-plus in taxes. Yet during the Thomas fire, alerts about evacuations, masks and drinking water were all issued in English for days before being translated. Not making Spanish translation for emergency services a priority is a disaster waiting to happen. Rep. Monique Limón’s AB-1877 is working to change this shameful and short-sighted situation by ensuring that emergency communications are available in commonly spoken languages other than English. It’s only fair that people who pay taxes and contribute so much to our economy have access to the life-saving information we all need during times of crisis and disaster.

High ambitions

Opportunity knocks for locals in burgeoning cannabis industry by David Michael Courtland pariah42@yahoo.com

aunching a business in the cannabis industry is expensive but worth it, according to several speakers at Cannabis 101, a Tuesday, May event sponsored by Port Hueneme’s Chamber of Commerce. “The expense of cultivation is in the millions of dollars,” said Jon Zimmerman of MGO Type Atypical, a Los Angeles firm that offers accounting and other services to the industry. “Just your facility will run you hundreds of thousands of dollars; stocking your shelves, that’s $200,000,” continued Zimmerman before adding, “If done right, it will pay off multiple times. “Businesses support other businesses; every (nearby) business will see an increase in traffic,” Zimmerman noted. “What investors have to get comfortable with is the cash; this is still a cash industry.” As it goes from being underground to mainstream, the industry remains cash-only because banks are reluctant to work with businesses that the federal government hasn’t said it considers legal. “Banks are required to go through horrendous procedures and they don’t want to take the risk,” said Tim Morland of River Collective, a Sacramento cannabis distributor. But the state Senate Appropriations Committee is now considering a bill to charter a bank specifically for the industry. The bill, SB-930, gained momentum in the legislature recently after the Trump administration indicated that it would not crack down on the legalized marijuana trade. Cannabis businesses can work with local governments rushing to regulate the fledgling industry in their communities by educating them, said Meital Manzuri, a Beverly Hills attorney who represents cannabis businesses. “We have other places (besides Ventura County) that have opened up, and the sky hasn’t fallen,” Manzuri said, noting that it takes time and commitment from a lot of different sources. “They have to form some sort of grass-roots organization because there’s strength in numbers,” Manzuri said. She recommended getting as much support as possible from the industry and local business. “Once they’ve formed a coalition, they can start lobbying and show officials that cannabis brings in money; that should be enough to get them interested,” said Manzuri. “We found out what was important to the City Council and worked with them on it.” Education should come from the industry, Morland said, “so people don’t think you’re some badass trying to get rich.

“If you’re going to have it in your city,” Morland continued, “you’re going to want actors who follow the rules — a lot of the older players don’t care about the rules.” Educating the community can also be important, said Max Simon, the CEO of Green Flower Media, a Ventura-based company whose website features hundreds of hours of video content from cannabis industry experts. “I always joke, it’s the site people send their parents to” to get informed about cannabis, said Simon, who got involved in the trade as a medical marijuana user treating his ADHD. “I was shocked how little information was out there. People just don’t understand how to get the most from what will be a $50 billion global industry,” said Simon. The site (learngreenflower.com), whose content goes public and freely accessible on May 26, offers prospective cannabis entrepreneurs advice from doctors, scientists and other members of the industry. California allows adults to buy and carry up to an ounce of marijuana for recreational use. The state also allows commercial growth and use; county and city boards can regulate both types of use. Commercial growth was strictly limited to medical use until Jan. 1, 2018, when licenses for other types of cannabis businesses became available from the state. A few other Ventura County cities have granted permits to dispensaries or are allowing delivery for medicinal purposes. So far Port Hueneme is the only Ventura County city fully embracing the money making prospects of the cannabis industry. Two dispensaries have opened since last year and two more are scheduled to open, with many more in the pipeline, said Port Hueneme City Councilman Jim Hensley. “Many people have put $250 (thousand) to $500,000 into this,” said Hensley, adding the two-and-a-half square mile city is on the verge of having as many as a dozen dispensaries. “That many dispensaries could be problematic,” said Hensley. “In a situation where there’s saturation, you could lose a lot of business.” To accommodate the expected increase in traffic to the city, the city is considering Amsterdam-like cannabis clubs where people could socialize, with hotels or bed-and-breakfasts for them to stay in. “It’s rather ridiculous to have that many shops come in, and there’s no place people can smoke,” said Hensley. “So many of these people are going to visit us then head back home,” Hensley noted. “The important thing for our economy is to keep these people here.” ✦

More than a dozen teachers across Ventura County have been honored for innovation in the classroom, receiving $13,000 in grants for developing lesson plans for students. At a ceremony in Oxnard on Wednesday, May 9, the Ventura County Office of Education presented 22 IMPACT II grants to 30 teachers from 12 schools in eight local districts. The grants are funded by area businesses and organizations that “wish to promote unique and creative teaching practices,” according to the Office of Education. Winners are selected by judging teams, and entries cover a wide variety of subject matters, including history, science and civics. Some teachers chosen for the award include Rio Mesa High School’s Carrie Fong and her lesson plan, “Growing Plants to Study Inheritance, Botany and Plant Life Cycle,” and Anacapa Middle School’s team of Danna Lomax, Mike Adame, Heather Carr, Jennifer Figueroa for “Trauma, Teenagers, and the Thomas Fire.” The full lesson plans for all winners will be posted online and may be viewed by visiting www.vcoe.org/ImpactII.

OXNARD URGES BUSINESSES TO “DO YOUR THING,” BE MORE GREEN

The Oxnard City Council has adopted a resolution drafted by Energy Update California dubbed “Do Your Thing,” aiming to motivate residents to become “good energy stewards.” EUC is a statewide initiative under the umbrella of the California Public Utilities Commission created to educate and motivate residents on energy management. The “Do Your Thing” initiative aims to educate individuals and businesses to do one thing that would eventually become a habit, such as turning off lights when not in use, unplugging unused appliances and/or switching to LED light bulbs. The council adopted the resolution in support of the statewide effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030, a goal set forth in Senate Bill 350, “Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015.” The resolution is estimated to have no financial impact on the fiscal year 2017-2018 budget, but turning off lights when not in use could reduce one’s energy bill.

VENTURA MAKES 13 ARRESTS DURING VAGRANT SWEEP

The Ventura Police Department conducted a sweep for vagrants violating the law on Wednesday, May 9, weeks after furor erupted over the death of a man in the city at the hands of a known vagrant. Police say that they made 13 arrests between the hours of noon and 4 p.m. Four arrests were made for being under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, one arrest was made for possession of a controlled substance or paraphernalia, and one felony arrest was made for being in possession of a controlled substance and a dangerous weapon. Six were arrested for probation violations; one was arrested and charged with a felony for being in possession of a stolen vehicle. The arrests were made in the downtown area, including at Mission Park and the Ventura Promenade. On Wednesday, April 18, 35-year-old Anthony Mele Jr., was murdered while dining at a Ventura Promenade restaurant. Known vagrant Jamal Jackson, 49, was arrested in connection with the incident. Since then, several demonstrations have been held in the city demanding that action be taken to address a perceived growing homeless population and rise in crime.

Political Roundup IRWIN UNVEILS OXNARD BRIDGE; ADDRESSES WORKPLACE HARASSMENT

Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, has acquired $68.6 million in funding for a bridge lifting South Rice Road over railroad tracks in Oxnard near East Fifth Street, a longtime requested project for the site of several highprofile train versus vehicle incidents. On Tuesday, May 22, California Governor Jerry Brown will join Irwin in Oxnard to unveil the plans at an event held at the intersection. The funding is part of more than $1.2 billion procured from Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act, funds set aside for cities and counties in Southern California for improvements and upgrades to streets and roads. In 2015, the crossing at Rice Road was the scene of a deadly incident involving a Metrolink train colliding with a pickup truck. The driver of the truck fled on foot and the train’s engineer later died from injuries sustained. The intersection prior to that had been the site of several incidents and has the dubious distinction of being dubbed the most dangerous crossing in the state. Additionally, Irwin’s legislation allowing employers to inquire whether or not a potential employee was fired from a JACQUI IRWIN previous job due to claims of sexual harassment has passed through the Assembly by a 72-0 vote. AB-2770, with support from the California Chamber of Commerce, allows former employers to speak openly to prospective employers about a sexual harassment investigation that may have led to the termination of an employee. The bill also makes it harder for accused harassers to file defamation lawsuits against their accuser.

“Serial sexual harassers have been able to go from one job to another because employers have been afraid of alerting prospective employers about the individual’s past actions. As more victims of sexual harassment speak up, we need to do more to protect employees from repeat sexual harassers,” said Irwin. “AB-2770 aims to ensure that our workplace protection can finally work to prevent serial harassers from continuing to abuse victims at future places of work.”

BROWNLEY AT PORT OF HUENEME; CRITICIZES PULLOUT FROM IRAN DEAL

On Friday, May 11, Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, spoke at the groundbreaking of Port Hueneme’s Intermodal Infrastructure Project, an undertaking made possible by the acquiring of $1.5 million in funding by the congresswoman. The project will renovate and upgrade wharf and berth infrastructure, which Brownley says will bring new economic activity to Ventura County. “The Port of Hueneme plays a critical role in our region’s diverse economy,” said Brownley. “This project is a win for improving efficiency and safety at the port, as well as creating and sustaining hundreds of jobs and increasing our area’s competitiveness in the global marketplace. I JULIA BROWNLEY look forward to working with the Port of Hueneme as this project continues to develop.” The total project cost is $3.82 million, with the Port of Hueneme investing $2.32 million. On Tuesday, May 8, President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Brownley issued a statement regarding the move,

saying that though the agreement was “not perfect,” it was “the best possible mechanism to stop Iran from continuing to develop nuclear weapons.” “The president’s decision today to unilaterally reapply sanctions to Iran — with no evidence that the Iranians have failed to comply with the terms of the deal thus far — will undermine our country’s credibility, destabilize the Middle East, and let Iran off the hook for their obligations under the deal,” said Brownley. In lighter news, Brownley announced on Monday, May 7, the local winner of the Congressional Art Competition. Annie Sun, a senior at Newbury Park High School, will be flown to Washington, D.C., where her artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.

JACKSON PROCURES FUNDS FOR THOMAS FIRE, MUDSLIDE RECOVERY

State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, has applauded Gov. Jerry Brown’s revised budget, which includes dedicated funds for local property tax losses and for schools and community college losses due to the Thomas Fire and Montecito mudslide. $11 million has been set aside to make up for lost property taxes and $14.5 million for HANNAH-BETH schools and community colleges that had to close due to unhealthy or unsafe conditions at the peak of the fire. An additional $96 million has been slated for forest management and fire protection, and an additional $160 million for the proposed cap-andtrade expenditure plan. Jackson, Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Emergency Management, said that

the time to take action on climate change is now. “With our changing climate, California is facing a new normal of increasingly destructive wildfires and related disasters such as the debris flow that decimated the community in Montecito,” said Jackson. “We need to take bold action to protect our communities from these catastrophic events.” Brown also signed an executive order that echoed Jackson’s Thomas Fire-related bill, SB 1260, which would allow for “responsible wildfire fuel reduction by authorizing federal, state and private landowners to implement prescribed burning on federally and privately owned property in the state” and creates training standards for such activities. The executive order outlines steps to take to prevent future wildfires through controlled burns and training. Jackson praised the Governor’s decision.

Joe Cardella: 1945-2018 Reflections from the renowned Ventura artist and ART/LIFE publisher by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

oe Cardella, a pillar of the Ventura art community since moving here in 1988, died late on Tuesday, May 15, after a battle with esophageal cancer. Renowned as a conceptual artist whose sculptures and carvings are objects of both intrigue and beauty, he was most closely associated with ART/LIFE, the extraordinary fine-art publication he produced by hand from 1981 to 2006. These limited-edition magazines, once described as “traveling museums,” contained original art and poetry from artists across the globe, opening Ventura up to the art world at large and challenging its residents to reconsider their preconceptions about the definition of art itself. From the start, Cardella was a breath of fresh air and something of an iconoclast. He studied at Syracuse University and had been part of the experimental Fluxus art movement that came out of the New York art scene, building a reputation as a contemporary and performance artist alongside such luminaries as Allan Kaprow, Alison Knowles and Yoko Ono. What initially brought him to this “sleepy

8—

beach town” were its sunny skies and warm weather. “I had grown up in Connecticut,” he recalled in a phone interview conducted shortly before his death. “Half of my life was shoveling snow. We had to skateboard on icy streets after midnight. In May of 1974, I shoveled myself out on my way to California.” Cardella landed first in San Francisco, then in 1981 made his way to Santa Barbara and, later, Ventura. The area’s Mediterranean climate agreed with him. “When I first moved here, the first thing that impressed me was how similar the climate was to my favorite part of the world — the Greek isles,” Cardella recalled. He had spent some time stationed in Greece in the 1960s as a global communications specialist in the U.S. Navy, and his love for the region never left him. The Central Coast proved to be a reasonable domestic alternative. He found the art scene less agreeable, however — very conservative, not open to outsiders and a little behind the times. “There were some attempts at contemporary art, but it was really cliquey,” Cardella said. He recalls Santa Barbara undergoing a Fluxus “rediscovery” with parades and festivals, which “I found rather amusing. All the

people they were celebrating were my old friends from Soho in 1973-74. But it was all brand-new to everyone in Santa Barbara.” “I wasn’t accepted into what was already happening,” he continued. “I decided to do a publication instead.” Cardella began to amass original works — paintings, drawings, mixed-media assemblages, even poetry — to bind together by hand and publish in book form. It wasn’t just a magazine, but a gallery of signed, limitededition art — portable, accessible, tangible and easy to disseminate. His own work appeared in it, as well as that from artists near and far — people he knew from New York, members of the Fluxus movement, artists from around the world with whom he exchanged ideas by phone and mail. He called it ART/LIFE, and labeled it “Communication for the Creative Mind.” “Through ART/LIFE I could tap into the eternal network . . . of free and democratic artists,” he explained. “It’s purely the whole point of it — to share.” For 25 years, Cardella (and a handful of assistants) spread art and ideas through the monthly ART/LIFE. Each issue was limited to just 200 copies. Even so, ART/LIFE became one of the most prized publications of its kind. It wasn’t just individuals, but libraries,

museums and universities across the world — places like the Guggenheim, the Museum of Modern Art, Yale, Paris’ Jeu de Paume — that would collect its editions. Cardella says that ART/LIFE was the longest continually published artists’ periodical of the 20th century. When he retired from publishing in 2006, it was partly because “the digital age had changed the world of communication.” Email, the Internet and social networking had made it easier than ever for ideas to be shared. ART/ LIFE hadn’t become irrelevant, but Cardella sensed that a cultural shift had taken place. While he appreciated the benefits of this modern age of communication, he recognized that something had been lost, too. “There are whole new groups of people who are making handmade books, manipulated books . . . because with digital, there’s no emotion, it has no human contact, there’s no skin in the game,” he explained. “People like having a little skin in the game.” For Cardella, retirement didn’t mean inactivity. One of the first things he did after finishing ART/LIFE’s last issue in 2006 was purchase a ticket to his beloved Greece. It became an annual pilgrimage every year after that. Freed from the labors and deadlines of a publication, he also had more time for his artistic “R and D,” conducted in his home art studio. The surfboards he carved to create a cameo effect are some of his most breathtaking works. “I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with new techniques and materials,” he said. With such a vast knowledge of art (and life) and a deep and abiding love for sharing and exploring ideas, he was a touchstone and an inspiration for artists in the community. He helped re-launch the Ventura Artists Union (which he had originally founded in 1993) last year, and was honored with his image on a tile included in the Ventura Historic Mural. At the May 6 unveiling reception, artist Michael O’Kelly, who designed the mural, spoke about how Cardella had “made me feel like I was in a big city again,” and encouraged the muralist to always “dream big.” Cardella was diagnosed with esophageal cancer last year and was cared for by a network of friends and fellow artists. Photographer Dina Pielaet, writer Amy Jones and Jonell McClain were among his primary caregivers, while others kept up with house and yard work. He spent time with friends and colleagues as his energy level allowed. “Joe is surrounded by a lot of love,” Pielaet said in the days before his death. “And his wit and artistic charm shine through every day. It continues to be a great honor and an amazing journey with Joe.” ART/LIFE will no doubt shine as Cardella’s great legacy. But his own art, and that which he collected throughout his 72 years, also serve as testaments to a life steeped in creativity. “His wish is that his home, which is already an art museum filled with his work, along with his ART/LIFE publication archives, remain intact as the ART/LIFE museum and his legacy, a nonprofit that continues to support art and artists in Ventura,” Pielaet said. Joe Cardella came to a sleepy beach town and helped wake up its creative spirit. He forged his own path in both art and life . . . and helped pave the way for others to do the same. “Well, I’ve done all I can here,” Cardella said, reflecting on his life and career. “I’m ready to move on and start on my next gig.” ✦ For more information on Joe Cardella and his work, visit art-life.com.

Beeman said another thread throughout the show is “the longing and wanting for something. Each student has his or her own personal inner story: how things hold you back when you want something so badly, and breaking free.

After not making the Olympics gymnastic team in Barcelona in 1992, Curtis said, he was unsure of what to do next when he got a call from Cirque du Soleil to audition. “Suddenly, what I was seeing in two dimensions, I was then seeing in 3-D, and I thought, ‘Whoa, I can do anything,’ ” he said. “I’m not compet✦ ing anymore: I’m performing.”

FINAL DRAFT Ventura College and Beyond: Architecture and Design BY MARK STORER

ylan Chappell has come full-circle from his Ventura College days. Studying in the college’s architecture program, Chappell went on to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, to complete his degree and become a licensed architect. With his own architecture firm, Dylan Chappell Architects based in Carpinteria, which employs three people, he is overseeing the design of a new restaurant and brewery in Ventura across from the college and Foster’s Freeze, one of his first projects in the city. Chappell’s successors, the architecture students at Ventura College, will hold a showcase on May 19 at 5 p.m. offering a glimpse into their own work as well as a chance to see the college’s facilities for the program, which has, over time, served as a pipeline to the Cal Poly program. It’s where Chappell got his start. But at a time when people in Ventura County and beyond are rethinking livable space, transportation and how to merge the burgeoning needs of millennials and aging baby boomers alike, it’s also a place where re-thinking what lies ahead is happening on a grand scale. “Ventura College was fantastic for me,” Chappell, 38, said. “My dad is a contractor and I worked for him. I didn’t really have plans to go to college, but I started at V.C. and my dad suggested I take a few architecture classes.” He and several friends went through the program together, moved to San Luis Obispo and graduated from Cal Poly in 2006. “I opened my own firm, and just recently we decided to change the software we use so I went back and took a class at V.C. again. I really did come full-circle,” he said. It’s not an easy job, however. “You’re dealing with so many different agencies and bureaus that it’s very hard to bring a project to completion,” Chappell said. “To make projects actually happen isn’t as easy as drawing something up and getting it built.” Ralph Fernandez is head of the architecture program at Ventura College and a licensed architect. Chappell was in his classes and Fernandez taught the latest class that Chappell took recently. “We really teach twofold,” Fernandez said. “We teach practical aspects of architecture for employment, like technical computer skills, how to work as a team and all that. We also teach how to be competitive at a university, and we focus on both design and quality as well as the academics to get there,” he said. Fernandez said that it’s also important that his students recognize that the work they produce has quality and aesthetic. “A strong architecture program in our county means, hopefully, that our county benefits and gets quality building projects.” Nicholas Deitch teaches in the college’s program as well and runs Mainstreet Architects in Ventura. “The challenge of being an architect in Ventura County is maintaining the balance between suburban and rural,” he said. “If you look at what happened in Orange County and the sprawl there, that happened unconsciously. But we’ve been more conscious of sprawl and its negative impacts in the last 25 years or so.”

Deitch, 59, grew up in Hawthorne, California, and went to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. He said that Ventura County is a sort of medium between the two. “We live in a place where people really don’t trust change, and for good reason. The root of that, though, is not understanding what good urbanism is.” For Deitch, urbanism is living closer together in communities where the public space is just as important as the private space, and people are in walking distance to plazas and squares and parks. “This is not a new idea,” Deitch said. “This is how people built cities before 1930, before the car dominated. But it’s a completely foreign idea in Southern California, where the dialogue includes things like should we allow three stories, because people are afraid of buildings being too big and too crowded.” In that way, Ventura County has itself fallen prey to sprawl that shuts out agricultural areas or, at least, has forced both

yet, not been made public. “The first project is called Laurel Court and it’s on Front and Laurel streets, near The Wharf. It’s about as urban as we can get in Ventura,” Deitch said. The project is a combination of all the things that architecture can be. Parking is underneath the project and on the street. It’s part of the downtownspecific plan in Ventura and it’s a combination of mixeduse residential and business as well as having a courtyard, and it’s in walking distance of downtown and the beach. “This

The automobile has staked its claim in Southern California, and it’s one reason why such things as Elon Musk’s driverless cars send most Southern Californians into a panic. Mainstreet Architects is in the process of practicing Deitch’s passion for urbanism in several areas of Ventura that has, as

is anti-sprawl,” Deitch said. The second is the iconic Top Hat location where Deitch was challenged to keep a piece of the city’s history beloved by so many. It, too, fulfills the urbanism creed. “The community wants that Top Hat so badly that the owner has agreed to keep it and let us design around it,” he said. Since 2006, the owner of the property has been trying to revamp it and give it new life. But as it is near the San Buenaventura Mission with archaeology going on for a number of years, getting something done proved difficult. “Being an architect in Ventura means working on these projects that are like lightning rods,” Deitch said. The design for the Top Hat space includes a full mixed-

T use facility in what Deitch said is an important location in the heart of downtown Ventura. The new space will have residences above and shops down below with parking behind the building. “I’m really excited about it, actually. Everyone I have shared both projects with says, ‘Oh, wow, yes!’ ” he said. Mainstreet Architects employs 13 people, four of whom are registered architects and another four are graduate architects. “The crash of 2007 sent a lot of architects running for the hills. It was hard on this field,” Deitch said. “One of the challenges we have is that building can move at a snail’s pace, and projects move to profit so slowly. It’s hard to keep the engine stoked.” Deitch loves teaching architecture at Ventura College — and he’s not just teaching how to move the mouse and adapt to the software. “I’m teaching hand-sketching for architecture students. I still spend time talking about how, in the age of computers, it’s still really important to draw with your hand,” he said.

Drawing, Deitch said, is the key to the idea. The computer has limitations that become immediately apparent for most designers. The proverbial drawing on the placemat or napkin is still a very real thing. Deitch has also had more than 30 interns come from Ventura College over the years, and has hired a few graduates as well. One of those is Gregory Moore, 26, a drafter and a graduate of both Ventura College and the University of Oregon’s architecture program. “I put to paper the ideas that Nick and his partner, Debra (Guthrie), come up with,” said Moore. “It’s true what they say; you should always carry a pen with you — that’s when the ideas happen. Typically, it’s working on improving the work you’re assigned to.” Moore graduated from Oxnard High School, where drafting classes, now long gone, were on their way out. “I remember, in one class, I drew and designed a wood block; and the next day, we got to go and make that block, cut it and

shape it. I remember holding it in my hand and was just sort of amazed,” Moore said. It set him on the path to Ventura College, where he went into Fernandez’s program and then on to Oregon. “There’s really something about it that I love, putting fresh ideas into older neighborhoods. I’m optimistic about it.” Fernandez, too, is optimistic. “Our program is growing every year and more people are coming, but it’s also true that a lot of people don’t know about our program. It’s not just for architects, either. Drafting is applicable to everything. If it wasn’t made by nature, someone drew it, and having those skills is important,” he said. But Fernandez is also optimistic about Ventura County and the changes that are surely coming. “Working as an architect and teaching in the county allows me to bring real life experiences to the students who are also from this county,” he said. “These people are getting to know those who will be their contacts and neighbors. We’re going to design quality communities.” ✦

The free musical evening will take place on May 25, 6-10 p.m., and listeners can nosh on tasty Spanish tapas and sip sangria and/ or great wines by the glass while listening to the sounds of Rumba Café in a setting that is reminiscent of a trip to Spain . . . but cheaper. Rumba Café is a flamenco group formed in Los Angeles by Brazilian percussionist/drummer Julio Figueroa and Iranian guitarist Kambiz Pakan. The duo incorporates elements of flamenco music with jazz and Brazilian rhythms. Figueroa, a São Paolo native, began playing at the age of 10. The Grammy and Latin Grammy Award-winner moved to L.A. in 1993, where he became much in demand both in the recording studio and on stage. He has performed with Celia Cruz, B.B. King, Jennifer Lopez and many others, and also leads workshops, seminars and lessons throughout the world. “We are a flamenco-slash-world-musicoriented band,” Figueroa told me in a phone interview. “There’s a huge flamenco influence because of Kambiz ,who studied in Spain for 15 years. We will be performing a lot of his original music — with different elements within flamenco music: rumba, bulería, fandango and tango.” The percussionist, who comes from a strong Latin/salsa/Brazilian musical background, says that combining the flamenco

guitar with jazz and Brazilian rhythms is not very common. Usually, a cajón (a wooden box-shaped percussion instrument) is used in flamenco. For this concert, Figueroa is using a custom drum set that he created through trial and error by combining different percussion instruments. “It will have the cajón but I will open up to more interesting sounds, from the more traditional flamenco setup to a world music setup with snare and bass drum cajón and some cymbals. You won’t see anyone else doing this,” Figueroa teased. “There are some imitators, but this is the real deal!” Rumba Café might even bring in a guest bass player or dancer, depending on budget and space, and the event is intended to be family friendly. “Kids are welcome — they can come up on stage and dance,” Figueroa added. “We want to make sure people have a good time! Hopefully we will accomplish that and have a party!” The performance is being sponsored by LP Latin Percussion, Ovation Guitars and DW Drums (the parent company to LP and Ovation Guitars). Flamenco Night at The Collection is merely the most recent effort DW Drums has made to reach out to the community in a more tangible way in 2018. The company recently launched the DW Music Foundation (DWMF), a nonprofit organization that connects “qualified, inspired artists and educators with music education programs in communities in need.” DW Drums believes that music is a gift that lasts a lifetime and that access to quality music education has the unique capacity to unlock creativity, develop critical thinking and leadership skills as well as boost self-confidence and enhance

learning in core academic subjects. “We’ve actually done a number of things, including a pilot music program with the Cook County Jail, which was studied as part of a doctoral thesis,” explains Publicity Manager Elizabeth Lang. DW Drums has also partnered with the Notes for Notes music program, which provides youth with access to musical instruments, instruction and recording equipment. Notes for Notes recently got a boost from guitarist Richie Sambora as well: He is donating royalties from the sales of his new Ovation signature series guitar to the music program. DWMF helped organize the Cal Arts Annual World and Music Dance Festival, which took place in April, and hopes to host pre-K percussion classes at The Collection soon as well. “At the end of the day, we’re a familyowned company and this has been a real passion project that has been supported by the [founding family] Lombardis and DW staff and artists who have supported it solely with their personal money and giving of themselves and their time,” says Lang of the DWMF. “As executive director, I wanted to baby step it without much fanfare so we could grow into ourselves, find what works and find good partners. We’re at the point now where I feel we’re ready to get the word out and spread our wings.” ✦ DW Drums offers free factory tours of its Oxnard manufacturing facility on most Thursdays. Call 485-6999 to confirm dates and times. For more information, visit dwdrums.com. Rumba Cafe plays May 25 at Gasolina at The Annex, 550 Collection Blvd., Oxnard, 225-7210 or www.gasolinatapas.com.

Life of the Party McCarthy goes back to school by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Life of the Party Directed by Ben Falcone Starring: Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Julie Bowen, Gillian Jacobs Rated PG-13 for sexual material, drug content and partying 1 hr. 45 min.

elissa McCarthy has proven herself one of the most adept comic actresses since Lucille Ball stomped grapes. You can say that about precious few. She just about stole Bridesmaids out from under Kristen Wiig’s nose, and the highlight of This Is 40 was her scene in the principal’s office. Even the outtakes literally caused popcorn kernels to fly out of the mouths of anyone who dared to munch and watch. Her ad-libs were that funny. Since appearing as the beloved Sookie in Amy Sherman-Palladino’s quirky Gilmore Girls, McCarthy has

had her own TV series (Mike and Molly), fronted films like Spy and The Heat, and became Saturday Night Live’s hilarious embodiment of former presidential press secretary Sean Spicer. All were showcases for McCarthy’s undeniable ability, as is the aptly named Life of the Party. Gifted with velvethammered wit and a talent for jolting and nimble physical comedy, McCarthy is capable of making you laugh with just about every tool in the box. For Life of the Party, she and husband Ben Falcone (who directed and has an amusing cameo) co-wrote a script that, truth be told, seems to hold back. The zingers sting oh-so-subtly and the physical aspects are dialed back to just a few. If the film had more of the raw and raucous, it might be an even more rewarding watch. But I gather that wasn’t the goal.

‘‘

We have a movie here that is light-humored, for the most part, without being lightweight. A more feathery Back to School (see, Rodney Dangerfield! You did get respect.) McCarthy is Deanna, an effervescent mom dropping off her daughter, Maddie (Molly Gordon), at college. On the way home, her husband

by enrolling in the very same school that her daughter’s attending, much to Maddie’s initial consternation. Life of the Party is not chockfull of situations you haven’t seen in previous “adults return to college” films. The funny stuff lands, but you must be alert — the one-liners are deft and quick and similar to a tick bite in that it may take a while to feel them. McCarthy, in her limb-flailing pratfalls, has a trapped-in-a-bouncyhouse quality that makes you chortle out loud. The cast is thick with Saturday Night Live cast members, past and present: Chris Parnell, Heidi Gardner and the deliciously audacious Maya Rudolph as Deanna’s brassy bestie, Christine. Commu-

We have a movie here that is light-humored, for the most part, without being lightweight. (Matt Walsh) announces that he’s dumping her for a realtor (Modern Family’s Julie Bowen). “Making an upgrade,” as he calls it. Crushed, Deanna is also rueful when she considers that she gave up her dreams of graduating from college herself, sacrificing her education for marriage and a brand-new daughter. She decides to rectify that

ADVICE GODDESS

It is more taboo than ever to make cracks about a woman’s weight — that is, unless she doesn’t have a whole lot of it. Then it’s open season: “Wow, what happened to you? Forget where the supermarket is?” However, it probably is not “people” but “people who are female” who are thin-shaming you. Welcome to female intrasexual competition — competition between women — which is covert and sneaky (and thus poisonous) in a way male-on-male competition is not.

nity’s Gillian Jacobs plays an ageinappropriate member of Deanna’s college posse (“I woke from a coma after eight years, and went back to school.”). She, too, adds to an ensemble that’s heavy on comic chops. There are surprises. Wait for them. There are also the requisite plot points of every film from this genre. You’ll see them coming down the street. That notwithstanding, Life of the Party is an easy film to enjoy. Could it have been funnier? Raunchier? A word-of-mouth weekend hit that would have sent Fandango into a frenzy? Considering the talent at play here, I’d say yes. Falcone and McCarthy have taken a gentler route with their comedy, however, and to see McCarthy’s skills at work, we’ll have to settle for their instincts on this one. ♦

It seems Mean Girls was a documentary.) The tricky thing about these indirect attacks is the plausible deniability they confer.

— Dreading It

It’s probably tempting to buy his family the sort of classic furniture you think they deserve. Unfortunately, they only ship that model of chair to prisons with a death row. There is actually opportunity within this biannual awfulness you two have to go through. In the movies, people show their love through grand gestures: “We’ll always have Paris!” In real life, according to psychologist John Gottman’s research, the strongest, happiest relationships are made up of constant mundane little loving interactions: “You were so sweet to me in Costco.” Gottman finds that the key determinant in whether a relation(c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights ship succeeds or fails is the ability reserved.

Call a woman out for thin-shaming you and she’s likely to duck behind “I’m just worried about your health!” Speaking up like this says that you aren’t likely to let any future digs slide, yet you remain on moral high ground — instead of giving back in kind: “Wow, looks like you’ve been exercising a lot. Do you do the backstroke in frosting?”

You Had Me At Hell I’m a married gay man, and I hate my in-laws. They were disgustingly abusive to my husband when he was a child. They’re in failing health now, and it’s important to him to visit them a couple of times

in the house? To really be involved with our children?” So, though you can’t undo the past, when you’re on one of these visits, you can shift your focus from hating your in-laws to showing your love for your husband. Listen. Tell him, “I know this is really hard for you.” Hug him. Rub his feet. Once you’re out of the inlaw inferno, you might discuss trying to make a habit of this sort of thing — really being present for each other in the numerous “unimportant” moments of life. This will keep you from being one of those couples frantically trying to plug gaping holes in their relationship with extravagant gestures. Typically, these are ultimately futile — too little, too late — and tend to not come off as planned. For example, if you’re having 150 doves released over you as you renew your vows, you’d better see that they’re all wearing tiny gold lamé diapers. ♦

IN GOOD TASTE

vcreporter.com

Around the world in one menu by Nancy Lackey Shaffer The 2686 Kitchen 2686 Loma Vista Road, Ventura 643-7444 or www.the2686.com $3.50-$25

dynamic duo is at it again, this time bringing their gourmet casual brand of culinary magic to a new Midtown Ventura eatery that has diners near and far hustling for a seat at the table. The new restaurant, which opened in March, is The 2686 Kitchen, and the owners are Joby Yobe and Jorge Alem — locals, cousins and business partners with years of experience in the restaurant biz between them. Yobe might be best-known for his Barrelhouse 101, while Alem started Ojai Beverage Company with Yobe over 10 years ago. Both of those spots are on the pub-grub-with-a-twist spectrum. The 2686 Kitchen is a different concept altogether. Lots of veggies,

interesting spices, entree salads and a more international style of menu with a California-cuisine sensibility. Along with homemade pizza there are Argentine-, Mediterranean- and Middle Eastern-inspired dishes — even a grilled cheese made with naan and a “loaded lasagna” that is perhaps an homage to Ventura Spaghetti Company, the previous occupant of the space. The new owners have gone for an airy, open and casual aesthetic: lots of light, pale wood tables, white chairs and bright orange banquettes along one wall. A long bar with green stools is perfect for a quick bite or a drink. Right now, it’s serving up just a handful of draft beer and wine options, but a liquor license is in the works and Yobe and Alem intend to add additional taps and more wine as well. The food, quite frankly, is wonderful. We started with the prosciutto-wrapped artichokes — Patterson Prosciutto Poppers on the menu — which were lemony and salty and just a bit rich from the gouda cheese; a great combination. The

Loma steamed clams come in a delicious lager broth with bacon and lemon that, naturally, is best sopped up with crusty bread. Our main dishes included the ribeye salad. Perfectly cooked slices of just-pink beef fanned out across fresh greens, tender and sweet roasted golden beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts and a touch of cilantro. The blackberry peppercorn vinaigrette made the perfect dressing. The Milanesa Mendoza sandwich was enormous, with breaded chicken breast, cheese, sautéed mushrooms and heirloom tomatoes all stacked up on a fresh baguette and dressed with garlic aioli. A big mouthful, but a delicious one. We ended up taking half of it home. It came with deliciously crispy french fries. A spice market of toppings is available for these, including plain ol’ salt and pepper, chimichurri, parmesan garlic or a Middle Eastern spice mixture called za’atar. We tried the latter, and it was quite flavorful, earthy with just a hint of heat. Pizza and macaroni are like

Ribeye salad with roasted golden beets, candied walnuts, goat cheese and cilantro on a bed of fresh greens. manna from heaven for my kids, which gave us a chance to try these 2686 specialties. The restaurant’s homemade dough is great — not truly Neapolitan, but not too thick, either, with a pleasant chew. The mac featured cavatappi pasta in a house cheese sauce (lighter, whiter and less creamy than cheddar) with pancetta and a scrumptious drizzle of truffle oil. Good, and definitely

more of a grownup’s idea of mac and cheese. Yobe and Alem know a thing or two about restaurants, and it shows. Their latest endeavor hits a high standard right out of the gate, with fantastic international cuisine, good service and a comfortable, unfussy ambience. One of the easiest and most enjoyable culinary trips I’ve been on in a while — and no passport required. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

According to my assessment of the astrological omens, your duty right now is to be a brave observer and fair-minded intermediary and honest storyteller. Your people need you to help them do the right thing. They require your influence in order to make good decisions. So if you encounter lazy communication, dispel it with your clear and concise speech. If you find that foggy thinking has started to infect important discussions, inject your clear and concise insights.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

A chemist named Marcellus Gilmore Edson got a patent on peanut butter in 1894. A businessperson named George Bayle started selling peanut butter as a snack in 1894. In 1901, a genius named Julia David Chandler published the first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In 1922, another pioneer came up with a new process for producing peanut butter that made it taste better and last longer. In 1928, two trailblazers invented loaves of sliced bread, setting the stage for the ascension of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich to its full glory. According to my analysis, Taurus, you’re partway through your own process of generating a very practical marvel. I suspect you’re now at a phase equivalent to Julia David Chandler’s original recipe. Onward! Keep going!

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

One of the most popular brands of candy in North America is Milk Duds. They’re irregularly shaped globs of chocolate caramel. When they were first invented in 1926, the manufacturer’s plan was to make them perfect little spheres. But with the rather primitive technology available at that time, this proved impossible. The finished products were blobs, not globes. They tasted good, though. Workers jokingly suggested that the new confection’s

name include “dud,” a word meaning “failure” or “flop.” Having sold well now for more than 90 years, Milk Duds have proved that success doesn’t necessarily require perfection. Who knows? Maybe their dud-ness has been an essential part of their charm. I suspect there’s a metaphorical version of Milk Duds in your future, Gemini.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

In my vision of your life in the coming weeks, you’re hunting for the intimate power that you lost a while back. After many twists and trials, you find it almost by accident in a seemingly unimportant location, a place you have paid little attention to for a long time. When you recognize it, and realize you can reclaim it, your demeanor transforms. Your eyes brighten, your skin glows, your body language galvanizes. A vivid hope arises in your imagination: how to make that once-lost, now-rediscovered power come alive again and be of use to you in the present time.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

The etymological dictionary says that the English slang word “cool” meant “calmly audacious” as far back as 1825. The term “groovy” was first used by jazz musicians in the 1930s to signify “performing well without grandstanding.” “Hip,” which was originally “hep,” was also popularized by the jazz community. It meant, “informed, aware, up-todate.” I’m bringing these words to your attention because I regard them as your words of power in the coming weeks. You can be and should be as hip, cool and groovy as you have been in a long time.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

I hope you will seek out influences that give you grinning power over your worries. I hope you’ll be daring enough to risk a breakthrough in service to your most demanding dream. I hope you will make

an effort to understand yourself as your best teacher might understand you. I hope you will find out how to summon more faith in yourself — a faith not rooted in lazy wishes but in a rigorous self-assessment. Now here’s my prediction: You will fulfill at least one of my hopes, and probably more.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski once performed for England’s Queen Victoria. Since she possessed that bygone era’s equivalent of a backstage pass, she was able to converse with him after the show. “You’re a genius,” she told him, having been impressed with his artistry. “Perhaps, Your Majesty,” Paderewski said, “but before that I was a drudge.” He meant that he had labored long and hard before reaching the mastery the Queen attributed to him. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Libras are currently in an extended “drudge” phase of your own. That’s a good thing! Take maximum advantage of this opportunity to slowly and surely improve your skills.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

The ancient Greek poet Simonides was among the first of his profession to charge a fee for his services. He made money by composing verses on demand. On one occasion, he was asked to write a stirring tribute to the victor of a mule race. He declined, declaring that his sensibilities were too fine to create art for such a vulgar activity. In response, his potential patron dramatically boosted the proposed price. Soon thereafter, Simonides produced a rousing ode that included the phrase “wind-swift steeds.” I offer the poet as a role model for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be more flexible than usual about what you’ll do to get the reward you’d like.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Here’s the operative metaphor for you these days: You’re like a painter who has had a vision of an interesting work of art you could create — but who lacks some of the paint colors you would require to actualize this art. You may also need new types of brushes that you haven’t used before. So here’s how I suggest you proceed: Be aggressive in tracking down the missing ingredients or tools that will enable you to accomplish your as-yet imaginary masterpiece.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Useful revelations and provocative epiphanies are headed your way. But they probably won’t arrive sheathed in sweetness and light, accompanied by tinkling swells of celestial music. It’s more likely they’ll come barging in with a clatter, bringing bristly marvels and rough hope. In a related matter: At least one breakthrough is in your imminent future. But this blessing is more likely to resemble a wrestle in the mud than a dance on a mountaintop. None of this should be a problem, however! I suggest you enjoy the rugged but interesting fun.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

One of the saddest aspects of our lives as humans is the disparity between love and romance. Real love is hard work. It’s unselfish, unwavering and rooted in generous empathy. Romance, on the other hand, tends to be capricious and inconstant, often dependent on the fluctuations of mood and chemistry. Is there anything you could do about this crazy-making problem, Aquarius? Like could you maybe arrange for your romantic experiences to be more thoroughly suffused with the primal power of unconditional love? I think this is a realistic request, especially in the coming weeks. You will have exceptional potential to bring more compassion and spiritual affection into your practice of intimacy.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to dream up new rituals. The traditional observances and ceremonies bequeathed to you by your family and culture may satisfy your need for comfort and nostalgia, but not your need for renewal and reinvention. Imagine celebrating homemade rites of passage designed not for who you once were but for the new person you’ve become. You may be delighted to discover how much power they provide you to shape your life’s long-term cycles. Ready to conjure up a new ritual right now? Take a piece of paper and write down two fears that inhibit your drive to create a totally interesting kind of success for yourself. Then burn that paper and those fears in the kitchen sink while chanting “I am a swashbuckling incinerator of fears!” Homework: Do something that you will remember with pride and passion until the end of your days.

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.

Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 07/11/2018, 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. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint counsel for you.

After making such an order, the Court shall have no power to set aside, change, or modify it, but this shall not be construed to limit the rights to appeal the order. If the Court, by order or judgment, declares the child free from the custody and control of both parents, or one parent if the other no longer has custody and control, the Court shall, at the same time, order the child referred to the licensed County adoption agency for adoptive placement by that agency.

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.
