OPINION Editorial

Live and let live or die If there is one aspect of American life that we have all become accustomed to, it is living within the parameters of others’ moral boundaries, whether or not we all agree with them. From pot prohibition to gay marriage to abortion, etc., every person has had to learn to live within the limits of what works for others. When it comes to California’s End of Life Option Act, which went into effect in June 2016 and whereby terminally ill patients with six months to live can request a lethal prescription from their doctors, the judgment continues. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Ottolia ruled last week that the End of Life Option Act was passed during a special session on health care even though Ottolia stated that the law isn’t about health care, that it is unconstitutional and should be overturned. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, however, filed an appeal on Monday, May 21, to reverse Ottolia’s decision and put a stay on the ruling to allow the law to remain in effect. The result of the request for the stay had not been decided by deadline, May 22. The wording in Becerra’s appeal addressed the law’s association to health care, which seems to be rather obvious but apparently didn’t meet the criteria for Ottolia: “The enactment fell within the scope of the special session called, in part, to consider efforts to ‘improve the efficiency and efficacy of the health care system ... and improve the health of Californians. As the Governor indicated, the Act deals with pain, suffering, and the comfort of having the health care options afforded

Tired of gun violence RE: The problem with boycotts, April, 26 Mr. Moomjean thinks that boycotts are “a worse form of bullying than what triggered the cry in the first place.” Then he goes on and tells us how, when we boycott a product or business, that it is the little people who get hurt, not the CEOs of these places. Of course economists I’ve heard said that we could use a little MORE unemployment, but that isn’t why I’m writing. This is the same Mr. Moomjean that, if memory serves me correct, was on the “anyone but Hillary” bandwagon from the beginning, knowing that herrDrumpf would have NO chance in becoming president. Then, like magic (or just plain dumb luck), we wake up on that fateful Wednesday morning in early November and Mr. Moomjean started and has continued to defend and apologize for the moron president. Some weeks it is almost comical figuring out his mental and moral gymnastics to defend a man who thinks that because he’s a celebrity it is

by the Act.” The Life Legal Defense Foundation was one of the plaintiffs that filed the lawsuit to overturn the End of Life Option Act. The organization staunchly supports advocates for pro-life and anti-abortion efforts. It is one thing to defend a being that cannot speak for itself, another to do so for a coherent adult who is suffering and whose death is imminent. When it comes to the End of Life Option Act, quality of life seems to be a nonissue for organizations such as Life Legal effectively forcing people to live until they die no matter the suffering and pain. The sheer fact that a person may have used life-saving drugs to prevent natural death from disease and now wants to die when those drugs are no longer effective speaks to a certain hypocrisy when it comes to overturning physician-assisted suicide. It’s an unfortunate situation if we as a society cannot allow the individual to speak and act on his or her own behalf. Instead, there seems to be a strong compulsion in certain people to control other people and their personal choices. We wonder if there would be a better use of time and energy for people who spend their whole lives trying to force different moral compasses into individual minds. Perhaps instead of trying to limit and take away rights and privileges of Americans, they can spend more time trying to understand the people who value and treasure laws like the End of Life Option Act. And if there is no compromise or understanding, maybe it’s time to find a new path that enhances the quality of life for all beings. Isn’t that what life should be all about anyway?

OK to assault women. And a man who thinks that Mexicans are rapists. And that there are countries in Africa that are sh*th0l3s. I could go on …. But to my point: When one of his brethren of ‘the base’ gets caught putting her foot in her mouth (once again), and then is CALLED ON IT, Mr. Moomjean thinks that is wrong. What is wrong, Mr. Moomjean, is that a member of the media (I won’t call anything on the Fox networks news, and there are certainly no journalists working for them) thinks it is perfectly OK to initiate the bullying, but when called on it, starts to cry…. Like you have in this article. You say that you “wish Hogg were my student. I would love to tell him that while we appreciate his desire, his methods are wrong. He’s messing with people’s lives.” Like the troubled teen who had access to guns and came into his school and MURDERED 17 of his friends and mentors? No, if you were Mr. Hogg’s teacher, I have a feeling you would now be behind him 100 percent because you would have seen the carnage firsthand as well. You would have been in that school and seen the gunman. Not what teach-

ers signed up to do. I’m on the tail end of the baby-boomers. I was here for, and participated in, the first Earth Day. Do you know what a bunch of young kids who cared about the environment did? We changed government when we were told we couldn’t. If you grew up in Southern California in the ’60s or ’70s you know what the air looked, smelled and tasted like. Of course, your buddy Scott Pruitt is trying his best to dismantle everything we did, but that is another letter. You close with: “All he’s doing is using one tragedy to bring potential hardship to others not responsible, and that is where the boycott movement goes wrong.” Again, you seem to be missing something here. He is using his personal tragedy to bring potential CHANGE to America. We are responsible for the mess we are in by voting for the idiots in charge. The Starbucks barista and Gun manufacture warehouse employee are in the same boat as Hogg is in. We are ALL TIRED OF THE GUN VIOLENCE!!!!!! #NeverAgain

Conflict resolution

Tim Hansen Ventura

While pondering the concepts of “Right” vs. “Wrong” and also “Left” vs. “Right,” I stumbled upon something profound in their anagrams. Within “Right” are the words I, hit and it; within “Wrong” are the words no, go, on, now and won; and within “Left” are the words felt, let, and elf. If someone is convinced that they are “Right,” they may become violent, proudly boasting to others that, “I hit it!” If the group they hit was “Left,” that could be viewed as an elf that let the hit happen and felt it. It’s down to “Wrong” to save this situation because that group can defend itself by declaring, “No. Go on now … won!” The pen is in fact mightier than the sword because with it words can be formed to express concepts handy for conflict resolution.

As conservative commentator Dennis Prager notes regularly on his syndicated radio talk show, we’ve always had guns and mentally ill people, but we haven’t always had these violent outbursts.

Searching for solutions

Ventura leaders discuss violence, homelessness, mental illness by David Michael Courtland pariah42@yahoo.com

he prospects of a year-round homeless shelter in Ventura are better but still largely depend on the will of Ventura’s City Council, officials said at a presentation in Ventura City Hall on Sunday. “We have the resources. What we need is for the council to say, enough is enough,” said Eric Nasarenko, a Ventura’s City Councilmember, to the Democratic Club of Ventura. Nasarenko said that the City Council has earmarked $300,000 of Measure O funding for a shelter and is talking about doubling that amount. “That’s good, but it’s only a start,” said Nasarenko, adding that operating a shelter year-round would cost $250,000 per year. Several possible locations for a shelter have been singled out. Measure O is the city of Ventura’s 25-year, half-cent transaction-and-use tax passed by voters in 2016. Nasarenko, who is an assistant district attorney, cited crime within the homeless community as among reasons for a shelter where people who wouldn’t normally contact police can safely report crimes. “There have been cases where homeless people have beaten and robbed others just because they could,” said Nasarenko. “They knew (victims) wouldn’t come forward.” Safety and encouraging the homeless to seek out help from public agencies are likewise reasons that it’s important to have a year-round as opposed to temporary shelter, said Nasarenko. Nasarenko noted that the seasonal shelter operated during the winter in Oxnard and Ventura for the last 20 years typically houses people overnight and sends them back onto the street at 6 a.m. “It’s needed but is not a successful model” for reaching out to people in need of services, said Nasarenko. “They’re not getting help, they’re not getting the assistance they need.” But Nasarenko said that his solution to homelessness — the topic of the presentation was “Solutions to Crime and Homelessness in Ventura” — consisted of one word: Housing.

6—

— May 24, 2018

To that end, Ventura’s Homeless Program Manager, Chris Russell, said that his office has had success with rapid rehousing of families that find themselves on the street because they can’t pay the rent. Russell said that last year, 219 of these “episodic homeless” households were given help with the cost of getting and keeping housing. After six months, 92 percent of those families were still housed, Russell said, adding the national success rate for such programs is 80 percent. Russell said that he anticipated significant growth in the number of episodic homeless, but noted that his clients were generally people who specifically didn’t want to be homeless. In contrast, many of the chronic homeless — generally defined as being on the street a year or more — are people who aren’t actively seeking help to change that. “The answer is to get people access to services through a shelter,” said Russell. “If there’s no place for them to get a shower and a meal, it’s difficult to get them help.” Panelists said that another reason for having a yearround shelter is to give the chronically homeless access to treatment for mental illness. Ventura County Chief of Behavioral Health John Shipper said that although it’s not true that to be homeless is to be mentally ill, about 30 percent to 40 percent of the chronically homeless suffer from mental illness. Nasarenko noted that Ventura police have already detained people for 72-hour mental health holds —when they are considered a danger to themselves or others — 400 times this year. “That’s 100 a month,” said Nasarenko. “That’s a significant population that have some degree of mental illness.” Ventura County Behavioral Health Advisory Board member Mary Haffner agreed that a year-round shelter with access to mental health services is critical to reducing homelessness in the region. “There is a severe shortage of services for severe mental illness,” said Haffner. “We really do need a year-round shelter. If we can get that, you’ll see a dent in the homeless population.” ✦

Memorial Day is Monday, May 28, and the national holiday is being celebrated in several ways across the county. In Camarillo, the 53rd annual Memorial Day Service will be held from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Conejo Mountain Funeral Home, 2052 Howard Road, Camarillo, and will feature the Legion Riders, a performance by the Camarillo Community Band and the Gold Coast Pipe Band, and a white dove release, as well as keynote speaker Bob Horrell. The 28th Annual Memorial Day Ceremony in Westlake Village will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Pierce Brothers cemetery at 5600 Lindero Canyon Road. The event will feature the Air National Guard band and 1,400 flags on display. The city of Port Hueneme’s Memorial Day celebration will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Port Hueneme City Hall, 250 N. Ventura Road, and will feature musical performances and special speakers. For a full list of Memorial Day events, see the Happenings section.

CSU, CHANNEL ISLANDS, RECOGNIZED BY PEACE CORPS

California State University, Channel Islands, has been recognized as one of the top volunteer-producing minority-serving institutions by the Peace Corps, having had 11 graduates join the service since the University’s opening. Karina Casarez, who graduated from the university in 2017 with a degree in psychology, became the latest Peace Corps volunteer this year and now works with the volunteer organization in Myanmar. “Sometimes it’s still incredible for me to believe I’m here when I remember sitting in your classroom and hearing about Peace Corps,” Casarez told Professor of Global Studies Andrea Grove, Ph.D. “I was also able to travel to some pretty amazing places around the country, such as one of the most famous pagodas, Shwedagon Pagoda.” Political Science Lecturer Christopher Scholl, who worked with the Peace Corps in Dominica, says that the university’s Model U.N. program prepares students for the highly competitive application process. “Students in the Model U.N. program have an interest in not only understanding the world better, but trying to resolve the problems of the world,” said Scholl. “The Model U.N. gives them a taste of doing that. In some regards, the Peace Corps is the next logical step.” For more information about CSUCI and the various programs, visit www.csuci.edu.

OXNARD HIGH SCHOOLS TO BECOME MORE COLLEGE-READY

The Oxnard Union High School District has adopted a policy that will align graduation requirements with university entrance requirements, ahead of enrolling at a California State University or University of California campus, receiving applause from Latino advocates. The new policy, set to roll out over a five-year period, will require students to take certain university entrance required courses, known as A-G. These courses meet the rigorous standards required for entrance into the state-level schools. In the 2016-2017 school year, only 34 percent of district students met the California University requirements, and only 22 percent of Latino students met the mark, says Eder Gaona-Macedo, executive director of Future Leaders of America based in Oxnard. “This is a big step for us in recognizing that our students are capable,” said Gaona. “We’re definitely setting the standards a little higher for students in Oxnard and by doing so we can create healthier and prosperous communities.”

SURVEY OPEN FOR THOMAS FIRE EVACUEES

The Ventura County Transportation Commission and University of California, Berkeley, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are encouraging Ventura County residents who evacuated during the Thomas Fire to take part in a survey as part of a research project. The project, dubbed Understanding the Decision-Making Process of Evacuees, was designed to help researchers better understand wildfire evacuations and analyze how individuals make decisions during emergencies. All participants will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of five $200 Amazon gift cards.

June Primaries A quick primer on statewide ballot measures by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

he California primaries will take place on June 5, and as you wade through page upon page of potential candidates for all manner of positions, be aware that there exist five ballot measures that could have immediate effect on everything from taxes to rain water collection. Measure 68: Authorizes bonds funding parks, natural resources protection, climate adaptation, water quality and supply, and flood protection. If approved, $4 billion in “general obligation” bonds will be procured, adding an average of $200 million annually to bond repayment costs over 40 years while saving local governments “tens of millions of dollars” on natural resources-related projects. The measure includes more than $1.2 billion to construct and improve local parks and would authorize $720 million toward procuring clean drinking water for communities, $550 million in flood protection and $200 toward preservation of the Salton Sea. Measure 69: Requires that certain new transportation revenues be used for transportation purposes (constitutional amendment). If passed, the measure would require that revenues generated by the 2017 transportation funding law, known as SB-1, be used only for transportation purposes. It also prohibits the Legislature from diverting funds to other purposes. This measure would amend the Constitution to require that funds raised by Senate Bill 1, which boosted gas taxes and vehicle registration fees, be used specifically for transportation purposes. The initiative was authored when the gas tax was approved.

Measure 70: Requires Legislative supermajority vote approving use of cap-and-trade reserve fund (constitutional amendment). Would require that a cap-and-trade revenue fund be created for use only by the Legislature if a twothirds majority authorizes the use of said funds. As it stands, 25 percent of the funds generated via the cap-and-trade program, which is meant to curb greenhouse gas emissions, are dedicated to the state’s high-speed rail project. The requirement would give Republicans in the Legislature more say in how the money is spent. Measure 71: Sets the effective date for ballot measures (constitutional amendment). Assures that ballot measures approved by a majority of voters take effect five days after certification by the secretary of state. As it currently stands, ballot measures that appear to be winning on Election Day via in-person voting become law the following day. This measure would change that to account for mail-in and absentee ballots, which can be counted up to three days following the vote. The secretary of state must certify an election no later than 38 days later. Measure 72: Permits Legislature to exclude newly constructed rain-capture systems from property-tax reassessment requirement (constitutional amendment). Permits Legislature to allow construction of rain-capture systems on or after Jan. 1, 2019, without requiring a new property-tax assessment. Supporters of the measure say that it would encourage homeowners to install rain-catching systems free from the cost of a property-tax increase and that such devices are beneficial to a state dealing with long-term drought. ✦

Summer movie season is packed with variety BY TIM POMPEY It’s that time of year. Summer, swimsuits, vacations and, of course, movies. Lots of them. Whereas the last couple of years have featured superheroes, this summer you have more of a choice. The sands of Hollywood have shifted a bit in favor of comedy, horror, action and even documentaries. Maybe bad news for kids, but take heart, adults: Someone is looking out for you. So let’s kick out the jam and roll it.

Rated R Our favorite motormouth, Deadpool, is back, but the plot in this film sounds more like a mashup than a movie. Mr. Redsuit with a band of soldiers protecting a young mutant from being kidnapped by a time-traveler. Hope it plays better than it sounds. At least I hope the jokes are funny.

I always thought being a grandparent was supposed to be a good thing. Not so much here. Then again, what says summer more than dead people? Grandparents, beware!

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? NR (Not rated) On the opposite side of the street, here’s a documentary about the affable Mr. Rogers and his T.V. series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I know many kids grew up loving his show, and many adults look back and miss him. As a kid, I wasn’t one of them. I much preferred monster movies and Jonny Quest. Still, all you softies and quiet time neighbors, this one’s for you.

JUNE 15

The Incredibles 2

Rated PG Pixar is back with a sequel of one of my favorite animated films. This time it’s Elastigirl’s turn to show off, but you can bet this will be a family affair. Director Brad Bird returns to direct. Expect this to be a kid favorite for a new generation.

JUNE 22

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Rated PG-13 Uhhh, more dinosaurs? Yes, but this time, the creatures need to be rescued from a volcanic eruption. And of course, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard go back to the island to, what, turn off the volcano faucet? Don’t get me wrong. I like dinosaurs. I even liked the last Jurassic Park. I just don’t understand how you battle a volcano and save dinosaurs. Could be fun, but I’m suspicious.

JUNE 29 Uncle Drew

Rated PG-13 Remember Michael Jordan’s film premiere? Welcome basketball star Kyrie Irvingm who launched his commercial series this winter on T.V. as Uncle Drew, an old man hustling younger players in da game. It was funny as a two-minute

commercial. As a feature film? Hmmm, well, if you’re into round ball. Also comes with Shaquille O’Neal and Reggie Miller, as if that really helps.

JULY 6

Sorry to Bother You

(not rated yet) Rapper Boots Riley directs this social satire about a black telemarketer who makes tons of money as a black man with a white voice. This has skewery in-your-face humor written all over it. White folks. Black Folks. All kinds of folks. Prepare to be roasted and laugh about it.

JULY 13

Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot

Rated R You never know where director Gus Van Sant (Restless, Milk) will take you. Is this a documentary or a feature film? Based on the life of cartoonist John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix), who discovered his gift after he became a quadriplegic in a drunk driving accident. True story, but Gus always has a unique view on things. As usual, expect to be bewildered.

JULY 20 Equalizer 2

(not rated yet) Who doesn’t want Denzel Washington to return as Robert McCall? Last we saw of McCall, he was making bad guys miserable and barely flinching. No one plays bad cool like Washington. He could make eating a jar of pickles look dangerous. So, action buffs, this one’s a summer highlight. Mark it on your calendars.

JULY 20

Blindspotting

(not rated yet) Looking for a good thriller to sink your teeth

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM

THE INCREDIBLES 2 into? Try this crazy piece of down-and-gritty streets of Oakland brotherhood smack. Written by and starring Oakland native Daveed Diggs as a man on probation who witnesses a police shooting. This could potentially be the dark horse of the summer. Prepare to get played and betrayed.

JULY 27

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

Rated PG I’m throwing this in for the kids who love comics. Already a TV show, it makes its bigscreen debut in which, ironies of ironies, the Teen Titans search for a director for their own movie. In the inimitable words of Barry Manilow, “Looks like we made it,” or something to that effect.

AUG. 3

The Darkest Minds Rated PG-13 Based on a young adult novel by Alexandra Bracken, a group of teens with superhuman powers are on the lam after a plague has killed off most of the country’s children. The bad ol’ government, it seems, has kept these surviving kids contained in prison camps. Now they’re loose and wreaking accidental havoc. Why is it always the children who suffer?

AUG. 10 The Meg

Rated PG-13 You have to have at least one big laughable bomb for the summer. This gets my vote. A giant shark is eating swimmers. No, this isn’t Spielberg. It does, however, star Jason Statham. I can’t wait to see his stunts in this one. Is this film jealous of Sharknado’s success or what? Well, I guess in this case, one big shark is better than many hammerheads in a tornado. Or is it?

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

AUG. 17

White Boy Rick

(not rated yet) Here goes Matthew McConaughey again, transforming himself into a drug informant during the Detroit crack epidemic of the 1980s. True story with a tragic ending. French director Yann Demange takes a look at justice Americanstyle during the Reagan years. Might be hard to watch, but sounds like it has a good right-hand punch to it. And never count out the Mac for inyour-face drama.

AUG. 24 Slender Man

(not rated yet) A plethora of summer dogs get released the last two weeks of vacation. This one, however, might have some bones in it. A group of girls attempt to disprove the legend of Slender Man and discover that maybe it’s not so untrue. And what happens when girls go hunting for scary legends? Screams galore and probably lots of anguish and terror. It’s August. It’s hot. By this time, summer is boring and the fair has closed. Go for it!

Filled to capacity PACC: The Arts Festival kicks off this weekend in Oxnard by Emily Dodi

hat are you doing this Memorial Day weekend? The Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC) in Oxnard has something extra-special planned to kick off your summer. Coinciding with the popular venue’s 50th anniversary, PACC is hosting Oxnard’s largest arts festival. “It’s our biggest event of the year,” says event coordinator Carolyn Mullin, who adds that the acronym “PACC” will take on a whole new meaning, as in “filled to capacity with the arts.” The festival’s theme is “Art by the People” or “Arte de la Gente” and it is “a celebration of the visual artists, musicians, dancers, performers, chefs and others who make up Oxnard’s diverse cultural and creative talent.” “Art is so personal and you can see art in anything,” Mullin says, which is why the festival will highlight everything from art installations and live performances, classic cars and vintage bicycles to films, food trucks and a beer garden, holistic arts workshops, martial arts demonstrations and more. The festivities kick off on Friday night with a fundraising “open air soirée” that starts at 6 p.m. Admission is $35 and tickets are taxdeductible. (They can be purchased online at PACC’s website.) The reception will feature special performances by Oxnard’s youngest

Artist Nancy Cozza of Port Hueneme does a live painting of Jori Wuerth at the 2017 PACC: The Arts Festival. mariachi singer Ricitos de Oro, Ventura’s own Havana 5, and NEMA (Neighbors Embracing Multicultural Arts) Belly Dance. Guests can get a sneak peek at the vintage bicycles exhibition and bid on art by local artists in a silent auction to benefit PACC’s educational programming. All this while they sip curated

cocktails and indulge in hors d’oeuvres by Chef Brandon Worrell, a culinary instructor at Oxnard College. Saturday and Sunday are free and open to the public. Both days boast full line-ups of musical and dance performances by local favorites. Featured performers include Irie

Smile, Dezmo’s Blues, Grupo Nuevo Esfuerzo, and The Centuries. A second stage will feature performances by Thursday Island’s Psychic Charity, MO Music Girl Squad, O’My Theater, Grupo Folklorico Mexicana and others. New West Symphony will also be performing on the second stage and hosting an educational music van for fans young and old. The visual arts will be on stunning display, and guests will get the chance to meet emerging and seasoned local artists. Stand-outs include new murals by six different artists and a rock installation by Juan Manuel Cisneros. “I think the most important part of this festival is that it provides an opportunity to interface with all of the dynamic arts experiences happening in Oxnard,” says festival director Chelsea Reynolds. In all, more than 20 artists will be showing and selling their work, including Andrea Mendoza, Dayane Zuniga, Kenzie Lea, Gigi Ying, Michael Racine and many others. Guests can create their own works of art at several workshops that span the art spectrum, from paper flowers to fluid art, as well as the practice of tapping into one’s own creativity. Other workshops encompass other kinds of art forms like martial arts, capoeira and folk dancing. The art of filmmaking will be on display, too. Director Julio Alcala will show a short film made possible by a grant from the city of Oxnard. Other shorts by Luis Guereca, who makes films about life in Oxnard, and Arcelia Martinez, who studied film at Oxnard College, will also be screened. PACC will host dozens of vendors and organizations that will be sharing the art of what they do. Ranging from self-defense to self-indulgence, participants include Damsels in Defense, Cocoa Rome Chocolate Company, Anastasia Tarot and Vedic Astrology, the Oxnard Gem and Mineral Society, the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, Elite Theatre Company and KBBY Radio. There really is something — many things, in fact — for everyone. All this excitement is bound to make one peckish, so food trucks will abound. A few to keep an eye out for: Baby’s Badass Burgers, The Grilled Cheese Truck, Kona Ice of Ventura and Dreamy Creations Dessert Truck. (And don’t forget about the beer garden.) No festival would be complete without a designated children’s area and PACC’s Art Festival promises to have a seriously fun one. There will be bouncy houses, to be sure, an obstacle course and face painting. There will also be fire-breathing dragons (of the arts amd crafts variety), a train operated by City Corps and lots more. There are enough things to see and do — and eat and drink — to fill up both Saturday and Sunday and then some. “Super-sized” may be an apt description of the festival, and yet it promises to have a welcoming hometown feel. “I think the grass-roots feel of this festival makes it fun and accessible to all audiences,” says Reynolds. Carolyn Mullin reminds us that Sunday is Dapper Day and guests are invited to show off their Sunday best, but it’s not required. The only thing that matters is having a good time. As Reynolds says, “The best way to experience the festival is to come ready to have a good time.” F PACC: The Arts Festival will have its opening reception on Friday, May 25, 6-8 p.m. The festival itself takes place May 26-27 at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard. For tickets, full schedule and more information, call 486-2424 or visit www.oxnardperformingarts.com.

MUSIC

Mônica da Silva and Chad Alger of Complicated Animals.

Traveling as a pack Complicated Animals to bring indie bossa nova to Ojai Underground Exchange by Emily Savage

ônica da Silva, 32, has always made music a family affair. The singer-songwriter was once part of a childhood sibling band. Currently, she’s one half of Complicated Animals, touring the country with two beloved dogs in tow. The now-L.A.-based indie duo, which consists of da Silva and her fiancé, Chad Alger, 30, boasts an otherworldly sound that’s

inspired by indie pop, 1980s synth pop and bossa nova, the latter of which is rooted in da Silva’s background. The singer-songwriter’s mother is Brazilian, and the family split its time between the Amazon rainforest of Brazil and chilly Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was a stark contrast, to say the least, both geographically and culturally, which led to da Silva’s varied collection of musical tastes: “I feel like I’m into such different [sounds] just because of the wide span of how different things were — they’re complete opposites!”

She grew up listening to vintage bossa nova, Brazilian singers such as Seu Jorge and international music (including bands with Arabic vocals), along with classic dark and moody 1980s bands like The Smiths. The da Silva siblings began attending music classes at early ages and each gravitated toward different instruments, with Monica playing both flute and piano. They formed a family band called Nectar, which toured the country. After Nectar, da Silva eventually moved to Chicago in 2007, where she met kindred spirit Alger after he posted a Craigslist ad — “not in a weird section!” da Silva notes with a laugh. Having studied Afro-Cuban jazz and Brazilian music, multi-instrumentalist Alger was looking for musicians to start a Latin or Brazilian project. It was right up da Silva’s alley and something she’d been itching to do again: “I

was in an indie pop band at the time and we didn’t do anything with Portuguese or any of the Latin styles.” Alger and da Silva have been together pretty much ever since that first meeting, da Silva says. They played together in Chicago before moving to Alger’s home state of Florida for a few years, then eventually made their way west to Pasadena in 2017. They came for both the musical opportunities and familial connections: Da Silva’s brother and sister, who are both still musicians, also live in Los Angeles. In April, just a year after moving to L.A., Complicated Animals released the dreamy ’80s-synth-inspired track “Show Me.” “The subject matter of [the lyrics], ‘show me that you want me,’ was a sexy but darker idea for a song,” da Silva says. “It was more edgy for us.” “But it’s also about everyone being so caught up in devices, and about being engaged in what’s happening,” she adds. “Once, after a show in Massachusetts, we were walking around this town and literally everyone was looking down at their phones. It was almost freaky” In addition to “Show Me,” the duo is also currently recording a new batch of songs at their Pasadena home for an upcoming album. It’ll be Complicated Animals’ first since the six-song 2015 EP In This Game. Moving to L.A. also means that Complicated Animals can tour by car up the coast of California with the couple’s two mutts, a golden retriever mix named Penny Lane and a border collie mix named Juju. The dogs will come along for the ride and stop at all the dog beaches along the way. “That’s what I love about California,” da Silva says. “I feel like it’s so much more chill.” The duo is also planning to tour a lot this summer, so the dogs should have plenty of extra beach-chilling time. On their upcoming tour, which includes a stop in Ojai at Ojai Underground Exchange, da Silva and Alger will be performing both Complicated Animals songs and music from da Silva’s solo project, which is more Brazilian and international fusion. With Alger on guitar, da Silva will be on both flute and vocals, singing in English, Portuguese and Spanish — a truly worldly affair, still rooted in familial history. “It’s a complicated family tour with animals,” da Silva laughs, “Hence the name.” ✦ Complicated Animals performs on Friday, May 25, at 7:30p.m. at Ojai Underground Exchange, 1016 W. Ojai Ave, Ojai. For more information, call 340-7893 or visit www.ojaiartsexchange.com.

musicnotes Hawaiian reggae artist Mike Love brought The Great Remembering Tour to Discovery Ventura last week, spreading his message of good vibes, hope and reconnection with the “Great Spirit” through melody, rhythm and rhyme. In a time of turmoil, the precious healing energy that the musician and his band, The Full Circle, offered their musical ’ohana (family) was a balm to a community — and a planet — in need of some love.

KNS Rockstar hosts anti-bullying event in Oxnard by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com

ay Day is usually considered a distress call, but in this case it’s an actual invitation — for fun, no less. Billed as an Anti-Bullying Youth and Family Festival, it is a collaboration between local rap and hip-hop duo KNS Rockstar and the Walmart on Rose Avenue in Oxnard. The anti-bullying campaign will celebrate both kids and teachers. Kids choice awards featuring $50 prizes will be given for a dance-off, a speech-off, and a sing-off. Other events include a youth baseball game and a car show. Kids will also get to choose a teacher of the year. In addition, KNS will be giving away prizes such as bikes, skateboards, TVs and remote-control cars. Kevin “Keyi” Turner and Shavonn “Silky” Turner (also known in the music world as Alien’s from Mars “ ’cause we’re different and we tell the youth it’s ok to be different,” explains Kevin Turner) have been traveling to schools throughout California for many years on their We Busy School Tour to promote their music and their anti-bullying message. In this case, however, it wasn’t just the music that attracted Walmart’s attention. It was the duo’s

OJAI PIZZA FACEBOOK PAGE

surprizeme

The Santa Monica pizza comes with cold romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes and pepperoncinis with a side of Italian dressing atop a baked pepperoni pizza.

Refreshing choice in Ojai In a quest to conquer FOMO, the fear of missing out, the VCReporter is introducing a new column whereby restaurant staff will be tasked with ordering meals for anonymous reviewers. With this effort, we hope to try new things that we may otherwise have missed.

by Michael Sullivan michael@vcreporter.com

Ojai Pizza Company 331 E. Ojai Ave. Ojai 646-7878

fter fishing for a couple of hours at Lake Casitas, I decided that I didn’t want to drive any more that night and took a chance that Ojai Pizza would deliver. And ’tis true! But deliveries were only made to the front gate. It would be our last night at Lake Casitas campground for a while so I wanted to make it memorable. A really nice lady named Olivia answered the phone. We were pretty hungry so we ordered a large supreme pizza, bread sticks (more like sliced pita bread), a gooey sweet dessert pizza and one that she would choose. I told her to choose something that she really likes and that I would trust her and buy it from her. She agreed to give it a go and 45 minutes later, we got a call — our driver was at the gate. My partner and I leashed our

20 —

— May 24, 2018

dogs and went for a stroll to the gate, checking out the fancy RVs and trailers, some of which had whimsical lights and decorations. There is a certain beauty when nature and technology are in apparent harmony. We met the driver at the gate and he had a whole pile of eats for us — two large pizza boxes, one small pizza box, plus two bags with condiments and the bread sticks. As we walked away, I mentioned to my companion that I wished I had ordered a salad, but it was a little late for that. When we got back to our trailer, I opened the supreme pizza first and thought maybe she just ordered something that looked the same. But I opened the next one — romaine lettuce! Also cold tomato slices and spicy pepperoncini slices atop a baked pepperoni pizza with a side of Italian dressing. The so-called Santa Monica pizza, per Ojai Pizza’s Facebook page, tasted like a submarine sandwich. Good choice, Olivia! You must have read my mind! I would never have thought to make such a pizza, and the cool lettuce was a surprisingly refreshing combination with the warm pepperoni. Only drawback: It doesn’t keep too well so try to finish it the same night. And it’s not on the menu, as far as I could tell. So you may have to ask for it to be specially made. ♦

Crawfish boiled in a bag with butter, garlic and onions, with a choice of mild, medium, hot or Ragin’ Hot XXX spice.

Adventure and variety at Ragin’ Crawfish by Michael Sullivan michael@vcreporter.com

Ragin’ Crawfish 480 S Victoria Ave. Oxnard 805-832-4615 $2.95-market price

hen I heard about the latest handson, peel-and-eat seafood restaurant, I jumped on the opportunity to give it a try. Now, even I have some issue taking off the heads of little sea critters to fill my belly, but if one is to eat any kind of meat, this is at least a less shocking road to go down in culinary adventures. After my companion had surfed enough at Silver Strand one Saturday morning, we headed over to Ragin’ Crawfish, which is nestled between Pirates Bar and Grill and CJ’s Barbecue on Victoria Avenue in Oxnard. Inside, the décor is clean and simple yet calming, striking a balance of black, gray and wood scheme with an underlying nautical theme. The clerk at the register was patient and nice as we perused the menu. We chose crawfish, shrimp with heads on, fresh oysters, frog legs and Cajun fries, plus beignets, because why not? I also ordered Vietnamese cold coffee — both bitter and sweet and it went down smoothly. And so we waited outside for our massive lunch to arrive. First up, the frog legs, lightly battered — so much so that it was barely noticeable — and fried, the meat in portion and size similar to

the drumettes that come in chicken wings. My companion, who delighted in eating them, told me that he hadn’t done so since he was as kid. Added bonus: Nothing like going back down memory lane. The flavor couldn’t be any milder than chicken; and while frogs aren’t a common item at home in the kitchen, they really aren’t something to be weirded-out by. At least they aren’t snails, so there’s that. One recommendation: If you eat meat, don’t knock it till you try it. Next out, Cajun fries and Hillman oysters on the half shell. The Cajun fries were basic cut-and-peeled Idaho russets, but the seasoning had a nice half-spice, half-salty match. The oysters were creamy and went down easy with zero fishy smell — sometimes even the best restaurants can’t deliver that so, so far so good! Halfway through our meal, we had a special guest appearance by an old friend of my companion. While they had been in touch over social media, it had been roughly 20 years since they had seen each other in person. Watching them talk about crazy times back in the ’90s was certainly an interesting spectacle, one that I was happy to be a part of. What makes life special if we aren’t reflecting on old memories while making new ones? As they chatted, our final entrees showed up boiled in bags: a pound of crawfish in garlic butter, medium heat, and shrimp, Ragin’ Special, medium heat, with a side of the Ragin’ Hot XXX sauce. Admittedly, by this point, we were starting to relax, if not falling into a food coma. It was quite a lot of food, but we

dug in for the last round, though we ended up with the rest in to-go boxes. The shrimp were large succulent prawns; the flavor was fairly mild. While I didn’t ask for the ridgeback shrimp, judging by pictures, that’s exactly what we got and they are found right off our coast in the Santa Barbara Channel. Peeling off the heads to reveal some less than appetizing innards takes a lot of machismo to hold down the rest of the meal. And that I do have, apparently. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s a good test to see what you’re made of. The tails were just scrumptious, I have to admit. The crawfish, or crawdads, which is really a much more fun name to call them, are cute little minilobsters but not much meat in the tail. But if you grew up eating these freshwater crustaceans, eating them is more like a tradition than a hearty filling meal. The garlic butter was a very basic way to cook them — can’t go wrong with that. As for the Ragin’ Hot XXX, each little taste I had of it was easy for me, but I am not a good litmus test for people who can’t handle the heat. To finish the meal, the beignets were on point, fluffy, airy, slight crispy, lightly dusted with powdered sugar and a drizzle of chocolate. Perfection. While the meal was a messy one, the company and even our server were well worth it. It was a beautiful day in Oxnard and we got to go on a unique journey for lunch. If you want something easy, maybe one of the nearby eateries. If you want adventure and variety, try out Ragin’ Crawfish. ♦

Who’ll stop The Rain ? A by Tim Pompey

mericans seem to be vacillating over catastrophic climate change. Europeans, not so much. Case in point: The Rain, a new Danish web series directed by Kenneth Kainz and Natasha Arthy and recently released on Netflix. While the premise may not be that original (deadly virus wipes out the Earth), the series is carried by some good acting, dark action and the skillful presentation of humans who have lost everything to tragedy and death. And it’s not just the virus in the rain that wreaks havoc. It’s the survivors who have to reconstruct their lives while struggling to trust each other. After all, when all you’ve got is a ragtag group of strangers (sound familiar, Walking Dead fans?), how can you

start over? Starring Alba August as Simone Andersen and Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen as her brother, Rasmus, the premise begins when their father, Dr. Frederik Andersen (Lars Simonsen), forces the family to seek refuge in an underground bunker after a deadly rain spreads a virus around the world. The bunker belongs to his corporate company, Apollon. After he reveals to Simone that Rasmus is the key to curing the virus, he leaves them with their mother, Ellen (Iben Hjejle), and never returns. Then the mother dies, leaving the young duo to survive in the bunker on their own. Six years later, the air vents become clogged and oxygen in the bunker is desperately low. Opening the door to escape outside, the now older siblings are confronted by a group of strangers who want to rob them. Simone convinces the leader, Martin (Mikkel Følsgaard),

that she knows of other bunkers where they can find food. Joining forces together, the group treks into a desolate landscape, trusting that Simone is being truthful. What makes this drama compelling is the development of individual stories within the story. We learn as we go that each character has a past and a present, and it’s not just the rain that’s driving them to stay together. August as Simone is able to hold her own against unspeakable challenges. She’s also vulnerable, even when her suspicions get the best of her. Tønnesen’s Rasmus is the opposite: Less cautious, more curious and willing to take some emotional risks as he falls in love with Beatrice (Angela Bundalovic).

While the story is not terribly original, it is often frightening and capable of springing violence in unexpected ways. A secret about the history behind the virus slowly unfolds. And always the rain hovers above, like an avenging angel. While this series is aimed at a young adult audience, it has enough heft to carry older adults as well. If you’re squeamish or object to language and nudity, best to choose something else to watch. But as you find yourself carried along by each episode, don’t be

(Passable sneakers, scoring OK but not so well as the leather shoes, were the classics: Vans and Converse All Stars.) Finally, it isn’t enough to just buy the right shoes; you have to take care of them. (Another important detail that ladies notice.) Learn how to polish and clean them. Take them to a shoemaker for resoling and other upkeep. These might seem like little things but they are actually part of a whole of living like a man instead

isn’t working. To be fair, he isn’t emotionally available right now, as he’s still mourning his divorce (a little too long for it to be healthy, I think). I’m thinking that if I stay close and stay available, he may pick me once he becomes emotionally ready again. Is that crazy? I really want a relationship and am willing to wait for him.

—Tormented

For example, social psychologist Jennifer L.S. Borton found that asking research participants to suppress a specific thought led to their experiencing it “more frequently” and led to “a more anxious and depressed mood.” Because of this, when you have a thought of the guy, don’t try to shove it away. Instead, shift how you think of him. Focus on how he isn’t emotionally available and then on how he probably never will be for you. Next, take action. You could opt for a thought-occupying distraction like watching a movie — or, better yet, make an effort to shift your circumstances by going on dating sites to look for men who might be possibilities for you. This ultimately allows you to be there for this guy as a friend, offering him a Kleenex to dry his tears — as opposed to mentioning that you happen to be wearing a very soft and super-absorbent pushup bra. ♦

Nothing says “your welfare means the world to me” like clocking a man’s mourning with a stopwatch. Beyond how the guy isn’t up for a relationship right now, you seem pretty sure that you’re just the girl next door to the girls in his wank bank. So mooning over him of a manchild. Admittedly, living is not the road to a relationship but the man way isn’t “super-comfy,” the equivalent of trying to get from (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights but consider where your priorities New York to California by doing lie: more in the realm of Dr. Scholl endless doughnuts in a Walmart reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

The Aries poet Anna Kamienska described the process of writing as akin to “the backbreaking work of hacking a footpath, as in a coal mine; in total darkness, beneath the earth.” Whether or not you’re a writer, I’m guessing that your life might have felt like that recently. Your progress has been slow and the mood has been dense and the light has been dim. That’s the tough news. The good news is that I suspect you will soon be blessed with flashes of illumination and a semi-divine intervention or two. After that, your work will proceed with more ease. The mood will be softer and brighter.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Do you know what you are worth? Have you compiled a realistic assessment of your talents, powers, and capacities? Not what your friends and enemies think you’re worth, nor the authority figures you deal with, nor the bad listeners who act like they’ve figured out the game of life. When I ask you if you have an objective understanding of your real value, Taurus, I’m not referring to what your illusions or fears or wishes might tell you. I’m talking about an honest, accurate appraisal of the gifts you have to offer the world. If you do indeed possess this insight, hallelujah and congratulations! If you don’t, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to work on getting it.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Now is a favorable time to worship at the shrine of your own intuition. It’s a ripe moment to boost your faith in your intuition’s wild and holy powers. To an extraordinary degree, you can harness this alternate mode of intelligence to gather insights that are beyond the power of your rational mind to access by itself. So be bold about calling on your gut wisdom, Gemini. Use it to track down the tricky, elusive truths

by rob brezsny

that have previously been unavailable to you.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

“A poem is never finished; it is only abandoned,” wrote poet W. H. Auden, paraphrasing poet Paul Valéry. I think the same can be said about many other kinds of work. We may wish we could continue tinkering and refining forever so as to bring a beloved project to a state of absolute perfection. But what’s more likely is that it will always fall at least a bit short of that ideal. It will never be totally polished and complete to our satisfaction. And we’ve got to accept that. I suggest you meditate on these ideas in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Paradoxically, they may help you be content with how you finish up the current phase of your beloved project.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

I highly recommend that you spend the next three weeks hanging out on a beach every day, dividing your time among playing games with friends, sipping cool drinks, reading books you’ve always wanted to read and floating dreamily in warm water. To indulge in this relaxing extravaganza would be in maximum alignment with the current cosmic rhythms. If you can’t manage such a luxurious break from routine, please at least give yourself the gift of some other form of recreation that will renew and refresh you all the way down to the core of your destiny.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Contemporaries of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras told colorful stories about the man. Some believed he was the son of a god and that one of his thighs was made of gold. When he crossed the Casas River, numerous witnesses testified that the river called out his name and welcomed him. Once a snake bit him, but he suffered no injury, and killed

the snake by biting it in return. On another occasion, Pythagoras supposedly coaxed a dangerous bear to stop committing violent acts. These are the kinds of legends I expect you to spread about yourself in the coming days, Virgo. It’s time to boost your reputation to a higher level.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

My counsel may seem extreme, but I really think you should avoid mildness and meekness and modesty. For the immediate future, you have a mandate to roar and cavort and exult. It’s your sacred duty to be daring and experimental and exploratory. The cosmos and I want to enjoy the show as you act like you have the right to express your soul’s code with brazen confidence and unabashed freedom. The cosmos and I want to squeal with joy as you reveal raw truths in the most emotionally intelligent ways possible.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

French novelist Honoré Balzac periodically endured intense outbreaks of creativity. “Sometimes it seems that my brain is on fire,” he testified after a 26-day spell when he never left his writing room. I’m not predicting anything quite as manic as that for you, Scorpio. But I do suspect you will soon be blessed (and maybe a tiny bit cursed) by a prolonged bout of fervent inspiration. To ensure that you make the best use of this challenging gift, get clear about how you want it to work for you. Don’t let it boss you. Be its boss.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Ancient civilizations waged war constantly. From Mesopotamia to China to Africa, groups of people rarely went very long without fighting other groups of people. There was one exception: the Harappan

culture that thrived for about 2,000 years in the Indus River Valley, which in the present day stretches through Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Archaeologists have found little evidence of warfare there. Signs of mass destruction and heavy armaments are nonexistent. Art from that era and area does not depict military conflict. One conclusion we might be tempted to draw from this data is that human beings are not inherently combative and violent. In any case, I want to use the Harappan civilization’s extended time of peace as a metaphor for your life in the next eight weeks. I believe (and hope!) you’re entering into a phase of very low conflict.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Every human being I’ve ever known, me included, has to wage a continuous struggle between these pairs of opposites: 1. bad habits that waste their vitality and good habits that harness their vitality; 2. demoralizing addictions that keep them enslaved to the past and invigorating addictions that inspire them to create their best possible future. How’s your own struggle going? I suspect you’re in the midst of a turning point. Here’s a tip that could prove useful: Feeding the good habits and invigorating addictions may cause the bad habits and demoralizing addictions to lose some of their power over you.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle,” said author Franz Kafka. I suspect this idea will be especially relevant to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. And more than that: In addition to books, other influences may also serve as keys to unfamiliar rooms in your inner castle. Certain people, for instance, may do and say things that give you access to secrets you’ve been keeping from yourself. A new song or natural wonderland

may open doors to understandings that will transform your relationship with yourself. To prep you for these epiphanies, I’ll ask you to imagine having a dream at night in which you’re wandering through a house you know very well. But this time, you discover there’s a whole new wing of the place that you never knew existed.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Just for now, let’s say that it’s fine to fuel yourself with comfort food and sweet diversions. Let’s proceed on the hypothesis that the guardians of your future want you to treat yourself like a beloved animal who needs extra love and attention. So go right ahead and spend a whole day (or two) in bed reading and ruminating and listening to soul-beguiling music. Take a tour through your favorite memories. Move extra-slowly. Do whatever makes you feel most stable and secure. Imagine that you’re like a battery in the process of getting recharged. Homework: Send news of your favorite mystery — an enigma that is both maddening and delightful — to Freewillastrology.com.

Squires Palafox, Date of Birth: 01/01/2018, Place of Birth: Ventura, CA, Father’s name: Angel P. Palafox Jr., Mother’s name: Alicia Squires. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a

hearing has been scheduled for your child. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 07/11/2018, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon as counsel can be heard in Courtroom J1 of this Court at Juvenile Justice Center 4353 Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA 93036. YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED as follows: At the hearing the Court must choose and implement one of the following permanent plans for the child: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. 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. A thirty-day continuance may be granted if necessary for counsel to prepare the case. At all termination proceedings, the Court shall consider the wishes of the child and shall act in the best interest of the child. Any order of the Court permanently terminating parental rights under this section shall be conclusive and binding upon the minor person, upon the parent or parents, and upon all other persons who have been served with citation by publication or otherwise. 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. The rights and procedures described above are set forth in detail in the California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26. You are referred to that section for further particulars. Michael J.

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.

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.

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 total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property 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 $221,262.33 (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.
