Vote for Bert Perello

Enough is enough

or the last couple of years, with Trump’s executive orders and policy decisions, indifference and support exhibited by the GOP leaders in Congress has caused a fierce reaction. That isn’t to say that enough people will agree that GOP leadership has been bad for the country and vote them out of office come Nov. 6. Various polls thus far show that while the U.S. House of Representatives will most likely switch from red to blue, Republicans will maintain control of the U.S. Senate. Trump, however, has marched us back years, decades, maybe even a century, with some of his policies and posturing. A few examples: Civil rights: If you are a not a U.S. citizen of U.S. citizen parents, the message is, you are not wanted here. Targets in particular are of Middle Eastern and South or Central American heritage, as demonstrated via the Muslim ban and the call to end protections through DACA and Dreamers Act. Climate change: The Paris Agreement and other efforts on a national scale to reduce carbon emissions is a moot subject. Job creation and/or preservation takes precedence, even if an industry is losing relevancy. Take, for instance, coal mining. Environmental conservation: If there is money to be made on federal lands and waters that had been preserved under federal protections, consider them protected no longer. That includes the Carrizo Plain that borders Ventura County in the Central Valley and the Santa Barbara Channel. Economy: While the economy has certainly grown since 2016, economists predict a slowdown for months to come. “We think U.S. growth may have just peaked,” said Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist for Barclays Capital, in “Real Time Economics: Why U.S. Economic Growth Is Poised to Slow,” Wall Street Journal, Oct. 29. LGBTQ+ equality: Transgender people

are being minimized when compared to cisgender individuals for entry into the military. Judiciary: Fast-tracked two conservative justices for a solid conservative majority on the Supreme Court; aiming to fill over 100 empty federal court seats with GOP picks. Equality for women: Equal pay for equal work will not be discussed. Plus, Trump was elected despite his candid conversation over grabbing a woman by the “pussy.” His rhetoric at rallies continues to minimize the value of women. World leader: Trump’s America First policy is putting the country at odds with allies while showing favor to Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un. States’ rights: Trump has stirred nationalism and populism despite conservative preference of states’ rights. Compromise with opposition party leaders is not an option. United we stand: Divided we fall. Trump promotes further polarization with callous remarks toward anyone or anything not pro-Trump. It’s a sad state of affairs to be in such a volatile, even hostile, place for so many people in this country who want stability now and to see a future loaded with potential. Just last week, Trump said to expect a tax cut for the middle class before Election Day even with Congress in session after Americans learned that another tax break was only for the rich. What we have learned, however, is that the happenings on a national level are mainly out of our control. What should be the focus: reasonable leaders on a local level who can help maintain balance for the future. In the end, it is all about strengthening bonds with friends and family in our communities that will help us endure any perceived negatives to come.

The Critical Line

VCReporter Voter Guide VENTURA CITY COUNCIL

I respectfully disagree with your choice of Ken Oplinger for the Oxnard District 1 City Council seat. Mr.Oplinger’s commute to and from Santa Barbara, his responsibilities with Workforce Development and the infrastructure fund, ceremonial roles related to his Chamber position and the intention of the Oxnard Council to go to a committee structure that requires daytime attendance appear to be prohibitive to his ability to be present in Oxnard at the required times. In addition, councilmembers sit on outside task forces, are liaisons to other counties and commissions, meet with constituents and meet with staff. How would any working person do this, let alone someone who has a 35-minute commute to get back to this neck of the woods. I also question Mr. Oplinger’s ideas for Oxnard, given the present dire condition of business on State Street. Mr. Oplinger, as chamber CEO, is tasked with supporting local businesses, which, apparently, has not been very successful. Clearly there are many reasons why State Street is failing, but Oplinger’s ideas for downtown Oxnard sound antiquated when that same formula, in tourist-rich Santa Barbara, is failing so spectacularly. Bert Perello, for all his personal quirks, has proved himself to be an extraordinarily honest and consistent champion of the residents of this city. He studies every issue and, if he is not a team player, it is because he wants answers to hard questions before he votes on issues. His focus on the failing levee in the district has not been noted by any other council members, yet the district residents will pay dearly if it fails. Annoyed as I might sometimes be, I admire his refusal to be bulldozed and his demand that the issues be transparent to residents — most especially the financial ones. My vote is going to Perello, and I urge others in district 1 to vote the same way.

Megyn Kelly’s foot-in-mouth routine by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

Kelly’s recent comments on network TV are now possibly the last foot-in-mouth opportunity that she will have for a while. Recently, Kelly was discussing “inappropriate and offensive costumes” dealing with blackface, when she blurted out: “But what is racist? Because truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was OK as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.” I don’t remember when black people were putting on whiteface, but I digress. Kelly’s statement shows that while she is a smart, articulate, attractive media personality, she clearly holds some strange ideas about black representation, and her doubling down on Santa and Jesus (a Jewish rabbi) being white, only reveals her ignorance on appropriate just debating this ’cause someone wrote about racial rhetoric. it, kids.” Kelly went on. “Jesus was a white Free speech and the exchange of ideas, man, too.” however unpopular, should not be forbidden, ADthat PROOF Those comments became a news story, but but this repeated action shows she was they didn’t hurt her appeal or ratings.

She was Megyn Kelly, the bright, beautiful and fierce host who was becoming the No. 1 conservative voice in the country. But her anti-Trump tone was not accepted by the Fox News brass, causing internal fighting with Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly. That’s when NBC saw a chance to uptick news ratings by offering Kelly a $69 million deal. What they didn’t realize is that they were inheriting a foot-in-mouth specialist who, for all her highly beloved by her audience because the time slot educated pedigree, was un-PC in the vein of a well-meaning, old-fashioned grandma, as on the network; she was the extra dinner guest for families watching TV while eating at home. opposed to a firecracker like James Carville That’s one reason why her less sensitive or Christopher Hitchens.

news In Brief VENTURA BOTANICAL GARDENS REOPENS AFTER THOMAS FIRE

GOOD Club volunteers Liz Lamar, Lauraine Effress, Kate Acosta, Steven Auclair and Robert O’Riley, campaign manager for Carmen Ramirez, make phone calls at the GOOD office on a Saturday to Ventura County residents to encourage them to vote in the November midterm election.

True calling

Volunteers ramp up phone calls, texting area residents to vote by Kateri Wozny

f your phone has been ringing more lately, there’s a good reason why. Election Day is a less than a week away and Ventura County political volunteers are in full gear with one mission: to encourage residents to get out and vote on Nov. 6. “We call everyone and talk issues, not politics,” said Lauraine Effress, chairperson of the Get Out The Vote (GOTV) Committee, part of the Greater Oxnard Organization for Democrats (GOOD) Club that serves Oxnard and Port Hueneme. In years past, GOTV was held on the last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday before Election Day. Effress said that with more than 60 percent of Ventura County voters voting by mail, the GOTV campaign began after Labor Day. The campaign also started earlier because midterm elections tend to have a lower turnout rate than presidential elections. Effress also used the example of the recent Oxnard recall election, which had a voter turnout of 17 percent. “A lot of people vote as soon as they get their ballot and mail it in,” Effress said. “There’s also a large contingent that holds onto the ballot and drops it in a box that says ‘Vote by Mail’ all around the county or walks it into the polls.” According to the Ventura County Clerk-Recorder, Registrar of Voters Office website, further numbers show that during the 2016 Presidential General Election, out of the 442,951 registered voters in the county, 363,285 ballots were cast, making it a voter turnout

of 82 percent. During this year’s Statewide Direct Primary in June, out of the 433,496 registered voters in the county, 169,281 ballots were cast, making it a voter turnout of 40 percent. “I want people to realize their one vote is essential to the democracy,” Effress said. Effress said calls are done with the volunteer’s personal cell phone Monday through Friday between 4 and 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the GOOD office or residence. The number of calls depends on the candidate list, which could be dozens. “All of the money that we raised [to keep the office open] is through dues and the fundraiser,” Effress said. She said about $6,000 was raised and local candidates also contributed money to keep the office running. When calling voters in Ventura County, Effress said that responses vary depending on the age and personality. She said it takes a certain kind of volunteer, one that enjoys talking to other people, to make the calls. There are also provided scripts where seasoned volunteers engage more personally with voters. Phone calls are also aimed at lowerpropensity voters, defined as people who have only voted twice in the last five elections. With high propensity voters, Effress knows that the person will vote, whether or not they get a call from a GOTV volunteer. There are also algorithms to ensure call backs if there’s no answer. “Some people say, ‘Oh, I’m so glad

you called, I have a lot of questions,’ and then I engage in a nice conversation,” Effress said. “Some say, ‘I haven’t done my research and I don’t want to commit.’ Some say, ‘I am voting for this person, I’ve made up my mind.’ Some say, ‘I will make a commitment closer to the election.’ Some people slam the phone down or people don’t answer their phone because they have caller ID.” The volunteers also began utilizing a personalized texting service called Hustle. According to Steven Auclair, who is involved in volunteer and club communications with GOOD, the service has a significantly higher response rate, especially among voters ages 18 to middle age. The message can include information on polling locations and a link to the GOOD voter guide. “This is one of the first elections [where] we will be rolling it out and it’s a powerful tool for us,” Auclair said. “These [are] not automated text messages and the caller will be able to respond to the message.” Effress feels that with all the efforts through the GOTV campaign, it will help Ventura County residents get to the polls. “I want to feel like I am contributing to our democratic process,” Effress said. “We do have something and that is the ballot.” ✦ VCReporter reached out to various members of the Ventura County Republican Party organization for this story. None of the members responded to our request for an interview.

Don’t call it a comeback: The Ventura Botanical Gardens never left, it only needed time to grow. The Gardens will host its official grand reopening on Saturday, Nov. 3, when entrance will be free starting at noon. A ribbon cutting will be held with Deputy Mayor Matt LaVere and a Welcome Center dedication as well. Since closing in December 2017 due to damage caused by the Thomas Fire, plants thought long gone have begun to recover, and new infrastructure has been installed or repaired. Fire-damaged walkways have been rebuilt, a new rock staircase has been constructed and the Merewether Welcome Center is ready to open. “We are so excited about reopening the Gardens,” said Barbara Brown, president of the board for the Ventura Botanical Gardens. “This will be a very bright moment for a community that has struggled through a very difficult year. It means so much to all of us that this iconic community place reopens.” With the reopening of the Gardens, a new fee will be applied. Entrance following the reopening celebration will be $7 per day except for Tuesdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or $45 for an annual membership. Regularly scheduled guided tours will be free and the Gardens will be free on most major holidays save for July 4. For more information, visit www.VenturaBotanicalGardens.com.

CYCLISTS ASSIST HOMELESS IN OXNARD

Community Action of Ventura County and BikeVentura have come together to assist the homeless who depend on their bicycles for every day transportation. Beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 6, BikeVentura staff will visit Community Action in Oxnard with tools and know-how to assist with repairs and maintenance for bicycles, including outfitting them to better carry belongings. The service will be offered every Tuesday from noon to 4 p.m. at $5 per hour to use the shop, or by earning store credit through volunteer work. A ribbon cutting will be held by the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce on Nov. 28 at noon. The services will be offered at Community Action of Ventura County, 621 Richmond Ave., Oxnard.

CALIFORNIA LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY RECEIVES $6 MILLION GIFT

It’s the largest single gift in University history: $6 million toward a building for the School of Management. Steve Dorfman, former vice chairman for Hughes Electronics, gifted California Lutheran University the funding for the two-story, 27,000 square-foot, appropriately named Steven D. Dorfman Center, which will bring faculty and class rooms together under one roof for the first time. “I’ve always been interested in education, and I saw an opportunity for me to make a significant difference at Cal Lutheran by sponsoring an attractive new School of Management building located right in the center, centralizing operations and enhancing the look and feel of the campus,” said Dorfman. “This will enable the School of Management to move to the next level and on its way to become one of the leading business schools on the West Coast.” Dorfman has an extensive résumé with directing several landings of probes on Venus and assisting in the creation of Direct TV during his time with various Hughes branches, including the Hughes Space and Communications Co., Hughes Telecommunication and Space and Hughes Communications.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR HOLIDAY HOME TOUR

Kindness Corner BACK ON THE ROAD

heyanne Dominguez was the recipient of a Volkswagen Beetle 2000 as part of Concours Motor’s Wheels to Shine program on Tuesday, Oct. 23, in Ventura. Dominguez, 20, has endured several significant challenges, including losing her father, Oscar, to homicide. As the caretaker for her mother, Dominguez’ financial situation made it difficult for her to continue her education and to mentor high school and middle school students as a youth leader at her local church.

ROBOT JOCKS COME TO VENTURA VIA SCHOOL COMPETITION Teams representing middle and high schools across the state competed in the VEX Robotics contest on Saturday, Oct. 27, in Ventura, where custom-built robots flipped, tossed and traversed their way to victory. Twenty-four teams met at Holy Cross High School in Ventura for the competition, including six from Ventura County. Each team earned points by completing certain tasks in teams of two in a capture-the-flag style setting themed “Turning Point.” Robots built over the course of the year were specifically designed to complete these tasks with the prime directive to ensure that their team’s specific color, red or blue, represented the majority of the field by game’s end. For half a minute, robots had to perform

tasks via pre-programmed directions, whether to flip plates from red to blue or vice versa, or to throw balls at flags to switch the color. Ventura County Office of Education Coordinator John Tarkany says that the competing students learn a lot from building the robots while having fun as well. “The competition is the icing on the cake, the real magic is them back at their school site building and constructing robots,” said Tarkany. “They’re learning some pretty valuable skills and having a good time doing it so they don’t feel like they’re learning.” The VEX Robotics competition is held statewide with winners from local competitions competing at the state championships. At this particular competition, Sherman Oaks-based team Anomaly took the Excellence Award, while Woodland Hills-based ECR 404 and Calabasasbased Patriot Robotics were dubbed Tournament Champions. All three teams qualified for the state competition. To see a video from the competition, visit

TEAM USA STOPS IN PORT HUENEME BEFORE AUSTRALIA BID

Seventy athletes from across the country, half of whom are active duty service members, joined over 500 competitors from 18 nations in October at the 2018 Invictus Games held Oct. 20-27 in Sydney, Australia. The international adaptive multi-sport event founded by the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, and inspired by the Department of Defense Warrior Games includes wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball and indoor rowing, plus eight others. Team USA trained at the Port Hueneme Navy Base, arriving on Oct. 15, before heading to Australia.

SIMI VALLEY’S SKATELAB TO CLOSE

Bad news for skaters in Simi as SkateLab, the indoor skate lab and museum, will be closing its doors after 21 years, though an exact date is hard to determine.

Launched in 1998 as the go-to destination for skaters countywide and beyond, SkateLab was one of the largest indoor skating parks in the country, featuring ramps and bowls for skaters to kick-flip their way to happiness. When the skating was over, visitors could tour the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum located on the premises. Owner Scott Radinsky says that the popularity of skating has had its ups and downs. “I’ve seen things where there were 10 public skate parks in the late ’90s and there are over 700 now,” said Radinsky. “Tony Hawk Pro Skater, how huge was that? I’m not blaming the industry or anything because it’s been great for 40 years, but I’m speaking facts and reality and I can’t sugar coat things.” Radinsky says that he has been paying to keep the facility open out of his pocket since August and that he “hopes to make it another week” but that there is no timeline for closure.

REDEMPTIONREALIZED Locals open up about their journeys overcoming addiction BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

he power of redemption means different things to different people, including the deliverance from sin and freedom from captivity. For the former addicts profiled in this article, redemption means overcoming substances that once had power over their lives causing emotional devastation and, for a time, a painful disconnect with their loved ones. These individuals are living proof that redemption is possible with the belief in something higher than themselves. Today, these local residents are living their lives to the fullest now that they’re free from the bondage of drugs and alcohol. They credit their sobriety to local programs that helped them stay on their path, the power of God, and the unconditional love they received from their friends and family. Editors Note: After the story was filed, however, the founder of Casa de Vida, Jose Moreno, died Oct. 19. This story is dedicated in his honor.

Jon Cesario was 18 years old when he went to jail for 16 years for a gang-related shooting. “I was loyal to all the wrong people and all the wrong things,” recalled Cesario of Ventura. “I was surrounded by drug addiction … my addiction continued while incarcerated.” Getting drugs like methamphetamine and marijuana was easy in jail, which he learned during his second week behind bars. “While incarcerated I learned how to make wine; with wine, you can trade it for other drugs,” he said. “Methamphetamine was a drug that was really a monster in my life.” Before his release the day before Thanksgiving in 2016, his life took a dramatic turn. With ill-intentions at the time, he was attending a church service where “I was there not to hear the word of God. I was there to hurt somebody. And the person never showed up.” Instead, a man walked up to him and asked Cesario if he was willing to die for his family. Cesario said yes, and to that, the man replied: “Why don’t you start living for them?” “At that moment, it was like, everything I was doing, everything that happened in my life, I realized one thing — I don’t even know what it means to live for my family,” Cesario remembered. The man invited him to a join a class, with a simple request to just listen. “And for the first time, I was sitting in a group with men who were talking about living,” he said. “I kept coming back and started learning I had a serious problem, but there’s an answer; and surrounded myself with different types of men that were promoting recovery, God, change, hope, life.” The experience made him clean and sober, and in his sobriety, he faced the painful reality of his past actions. “I started learning people are being hurt because of the way I’m acting, the way I’m living — I’m not just doing time, everybody that loves me is doing time,” Cesario said. “They had to visit me for 16 Christmases, 16 birthdays, 16 Thanksgivings.” These factors combined led to his epiphany: “I’m existing, but I’m not living. So I learned how to live.” Around the time he was immersed in the Bible and his recovery, Cesario started writing letters to Jose Moreno, the founder of Casa de Vida in Oxnard, a nonprofit residential

Ordaz will take over for founder Jose Moreno. drug and alcohol recovery program that also provides aid to those facing incarceration for drug and alcohol offenses, or who find themselves in need of direction in their lives. “I let Jose know that there was a possibility I’d be coming home after spending almost half my life in prison … that I needed to change my surroundings, I needed to be around people who understand the struggle,” Cesario said. Today, Cesario is the house manager at Casa de Vida,

which serves minors (with permission from their parents and judges) to men in their 70s. When he was hired, it was the first job in his life. “It’s been the face of my prayers, a second chance,” said Cesario, who is also about to graduate from the Addictive Disorders Studies Program at Oxnard College. “This is not a job. I drive over here excited about what the day holds.” Looking back on the time of his life that was filled with

drug addiction, he believes that “rock-bottom stops the minute you look up.” “When you look up, you’re gonna notice people are gonna be there that you never knew were there; and God’s gonna be, like, those are the ones I sent your way to answer your prayer,” Cesario said. “When you look down, you don’t notice nothing. I finally looked up, and there was an arsenal of help — up until this day.”

HOUSE OF LIFE

“If my thinking doesn’t change, I can slip just like anybody else if I’m not careful,” Moreno said. “So that’s what I teach.” A consistent practice at Casa de Vida involves assigning the men to write down five things that are troubling them and preventing them from moving forward. “Most of it is the roller coaster they go through, like not being accepted, rejection, anger, all those things,” said Moreno, adding that anger management classes are part of his program. Getting clean and sober “is not easy,” he emphasized. “But if the person really wants it, he’ll go through it. Whatever it takes, this is what needs to be done, step by step. Our mission statement is: reach, teach and release.”

At Casa de Vida, which means house of life, at least 24 men graduate every six months, said founder Jose Moreno, who opened the home in Oxnard in 2005. Out of the graduates who stay clean and sober, “I believe at least 45 percent stay plugged in.” Men who live there must abide by strict rules, including discipleship study starting at 6 a.m. Mon- “YOU CAN’T ARREST YOUR WAY day through Thursday. The men are also required to OUT OF A PROBLEM” volunteer at least three hours of community service Jason Benites, Assistant Police Chief with Oxnard a day, such as removing graffiti from city structures, Police Department, said he is “very impressed” by working with foster children at church, running in the Casa de Vida recovery program. local marathons to raise money for charity, and fix“I believe it’s well-organized, has great leadership, ing up bicycles to give to needy children during the and has credibility in its mission.

For instance, if a man ends up homeless, “We put him in here — that’s a success. And from that comes whatever we need to do.” A heroin addict for about 35 years, Moreno was introduced to drugs and gangs at age 14 and was incarcerated for the first time at 15. While his initial involvement with gangs began with selling drugs and not using, “I ended up tasting (heroin) and that was a big mistake.” Back in the ’90s, “I was still running the streets of Colonia,” recalled Moreno, adding that during that time, he continually encountered Jason Benites, who is now assistant police chief of the Oxnard Police Department. “The last time he stopped me was in ’97 when he was three years into the department — he booked me for under the influence,” Moreno recalled. “At that time, I was in the state of relapsing because I had stopped back in ’85.” Oxnard Assistant Police Chief Jason Benites.

JOSE MORENO | 1954-2018

ose Moreno, who is credited with helping hundreds through a drug and alcohol recovery program called Casa De Vida, passed away in the early morning hours of Oct. 19. “He was my spiritual father,” said Jon Cesario of Ventura, house manager at Casa De Vida in Oxnard, which Moreno opened in 2005 along with his wife, Julie. “Even though Jose was the director, he’d always say that this is God’s program — God kept this open . . . so he’s going to continue to keep it open,” Cesario said. “The people he has helped truly had a paradigm shift in their life and Jose was used by God as the instrument to make that happen.” Moreno was admitted to the hospital on Oct. 16 due to internal bleeding, Cesario said. “They brought him in, started running tests. They felt it was necessary to put him in an induced coma. . . . They put him on life support in hopes of his body to start healing,” he recalled. “His organs started shutting down, so Wednesday night they called us all in,” Cesario continued. “They started dialysis . . . and we didn’t know what was going to happen but we started having hopes of him surviving.” Around 10 p.m., “We were told he was stable, that he was responding to the dialysis. His wife said, ‘go home and come back in the morning.’ We all went home — then we all got the text around 3 a.m.” Neptune Linares, who entered Casa De Vida in March to seek help with drug addiction, said Moreno’s death came as “a shock.” “We didn’t expect his death to happen so quickly,” said Linares, who was at Moreno’s bedside before he passed away. “But we have to be strong and stay true to the principles we learned at Casa De Vida.” Ricardo Amaya, who graduated from Casa De Vida on Nov. 3 after spending six months in the program for drug abuse, said when he first showed up, “I was broken and I was lost, and Jose saw a light in me that I couldn’t see.” “He saw it in me and kept pushing me to move forward,” Amaya remembered. “And the main thing he taught me was about my family. He made me want my family, he made me love my family again — that’s the only thing that saved my marriage. Jose took me in and he showed me how to rise up from the ashes.” In addition to his work at Casa De Vida, Moreno spearheaded numerous charitable causes involving the residents, including collecting and fixing bicycles for low-income children during the holiday season. He was also involved for many years with a medical camp in Oxnard, an annual event that provides free medical services to those in need. The most recent medical camp took place two days after his death at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Oxnard, where Moreno was honored with a brief memorial service before the day’s activities began.

ART+CULTURE onstage

vcreporter.com rett recalls. While she would ultimately hire a Portuguese artist to do the work, she was inspired to try it herself. Researching the process on the Internet, she got sidetracked by the art of china painting. She went to a portrait painting convention in 1999, and noticed a shop selling dog items. One thing led to another, and Barrett found herself painting dog portraits. “That got me started in the art world,” she says. Her skill was good enough that she’d do portraits for dog shows, and she started getting commissions (for both canines and humans) as well.

creativetypes

Through the Looking Glass

At another conference in 2002, she discovered dichroic glass, which displays different colors based on the changing light. She again turned to the Internet to explore this shiny new object, and starting working with it. After selling a few dichroic glass pendants on eBay, she expanded her line, selling the items in gift shops and on the wholesale market. Today Barrett’s work can be found in museum stores and galleries across the nation, including the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery in Washington, D. C. Her greatest success thus far has been with a design inspired by both her mid-century Modern roots, and the Pantheon of Ancient Rome. In a documentary on the History Channel she learned about the hole in the top of the Pantheon, the oculus, which made a perfect circle of light that moves with the sun. “That would be so cool in glass,” she thought to herself. So she created a pendant with a perfectly round hole through which a layer of dichroic glass can be glimpsed. These space-age discs are beautiful and ever-changing, reflecting different colors depending on how the light hits. “What is so attractive is that [the orbs] have dimension, they have mystery, and they interact and change with the light,” Barrett says.

“Lazin’ in the Park” from Dolores Barrett’s Small World series.

Glass artist Dolores Barrett by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

ewelry designer Dolores Barrett creates pendants and earrings in out-of-thisworld shapes and colors that bring to mind Mad Men, Shag paintings and the design sensibilities of the early 1960s. Her medium is fused glass and one look at these creations — handcrafted beads, scent bottles, orbs in vibrant colors and the wearable dioramas she calls Small Worlds — and her talent as a glass artist becomes crystal clear.

Daughter of the Atomic Age

Barrett grew up in the 1960s in Camarillo, the daughter of a naval base manager at Port Hueneme. “He was forward thinking,” Barrett says of her father. “He loved technology. He was the first one to get a computer.” She inherited his appreciation for innovation, and fully embraced the era’s love affair with space, technology and the future. “The whole mid-century Modernism thing, the architecture — it’s cool,” she says. “But it was more the attitude, the optimism behind it, that was so attractive.” It’s no surprise, then, that so much of her work emulates the motifs and palette that characterized the Atomic Age.

Mad Science

“I wasn’t an artist,” Barrett says of her younger years. “I loved making stuff. I loved making interesting things.” Hands-on, slightly experimental, building things from scratch — this type of creative tinkering inspired Barrett more than the fine arts. She recalls taking a traditional art class and finding it “utterly boring.” But give her some tools and an idea, and she’d run with it. “The first thing I ever sewed was my wedding dress,” she says with a laugh. “I got a very complicated Vogue pattern, went to the fabric district in L.A. and made my dress.” She stayed up until 3 a.m. the day of her wedding to finish

her veil. “Everything I’ve ever done has been in that vein.”

Cyber-Junkie Barrett is an insatiable researcher, spending hours on the computer, studying her art and new approaches to it. “The Internet is the greatest thing to happen to creativity!” she exclaims. “Everything I’ve learned to do, I’ve learned off the Internet.” One of her core philosophies is, “I can do that.” Armed with an idea and a cyber-education, she’ll jump feet first into a new process. Fusing glass in a kiln, creating her own molds, Autocad, silicone casting, microwelding — she’s up for anything. She says that looking across disciplines has been tremendously beneficial to her work. “You look beyond your box,” she explains. “You can find all kinds of stuff that you can use or jerryrig or repurpose. It’s having that kind of curiosity and desire to make those cross-references between disciplines and technologies. It leads to innovation.”

It’s a Small World

From Pianos to Pups Barrett’s first love was not art, but music: She plays piano, has a degree in conducting from UCSB, was a choir conductor at her church and performed with the Ventura County Master Chorale. Tiles she saw and admired on a trip to Portugal brought her into the art studio. “I wanted a tile mural in my kitchen,” Bar-

Her latest passion is Small World. In these wearable diorama pendants, Barrett creates tableaux in glass and peoples them with tiny railroad figures. “I’ve always loved miniatures and small things,” Barrett says. “This was a natural progression.” She is giving free reign to her imagination with this series. “I want to do some wild ones,” she says. “I have these weird ideas.” Art, craft, experimentation, technology and innovation — they all get wrapped up in one pretty package for Barrett. “What makes jewelry not just jewelry?” she likes to ask in her work. “What it represents now, and all throughout his✦ tory — these are the things I’m learning.” Learn more about Dolores Barrett at barrettart.net.

publicspectacle Boo Voyage GhostWalk is one of Santa Paula’s best loved Halloween traditions, with eerily costumed actors telling stories — some historically accurate, some embellished by creative license — from Ventura County’s past. This year, attendees took a trip through the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot and the Museum of Ventura County’s Agriculture Museum and heard tales from the "ghosts" of medical pioneer Dr. Grace Sharp Thille, suffragette Rose Marshall and other characters from the early decades of the 20th century. Attendees were welcomed by apparitions of conductor Josephus A. Clemens (Douglas Friedlander, center), a newsboy (Abraham Peyton, right) and a cantankerous passerby (Nelson Fox).

For this tour, Crowder will be accompanied by Robert Armstrong on banjo, guitar and saw. Together, they will rekindle the country blues, vintage jazz, cowboy classics and string band repertoire of pre-WWII America. Longtime fans may remember Crowder and Armstrong as founding members of two acoustic combos, 8th Avenue String Band and R. Crumb’s Cheap Suit Serenaders. Between them, they share an array of period instruments including flat-top guitar, national steel, baritone and soprano ukulele, musical saw, accordion, six-string banjo and harmonica. These “modern day vaudevillians” capture a sound and moment in time that consistently delights music fans everywhere they perform. Above all, guests will be treated to “a total entertainment experience,” Crowder said. “Our attention to detail in regard to authentic instrumentation, wardrobe and getting the sound right is all part of it,” he noted. “But I must say that the verbal and physical comedy of the over-the-top character Sourdough Slim is a big reason why folks leave the show with a smile.” Crowder hopes to engage and entertain the audience with a unique cultural experience. “Laughter and music are good medicine for the soul,” he said. “That’s what we are all about.” In this day and age, it is a challenge to get folks in this country to open up to an act that has three muchmaligned cultural icons: yodeling, accordion playing and an antiquated cowboy persona, Crowder admitted. “No one is more aware of this than Sourdough Slim — but he makes it work to his advantage big time,” he said. “Thirty years of touring with return performances, playing some of the biggest venues in the country, certainly attests to that. What it all boils down to is entertainment. And as Via Magazine puts it, Sourdough Slim is an ‘entertainer extraordinaire.’ ” F Sourdough Slim performs on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the Ojai Valley Woman’s Club, 441 E. Ojai Ave. in Ojai.

The emotional investment for the moviegoer is bearing witness to an inevitable evaporation that one is helpless to stop.

dealership. There’s nothing overblown or histrionic about the performances. Carey Mulligan’s slow burn, from frustrated housewife to unhappy adulterer, encroaches like a lava flow. Jeanette’s words and deeds are the volcanic ash that falls over the soft-spoken, innocent Joe, caught in the middle of the ever-arching void between his parents. Oxenbould has the heartbreaking eyes of a forlorn pup. You feel every moment of his hope and pain. With his father in the mountains and his mother preoccupied, he forgoes homework and a new friend (Zoe Margaret Colletti) to shop and do household chores. He’s a good kid who doesn’t deserve to experience the fragmentation that’s happening around him. Like Gyllenhaal, Mulligan has been wowing audiences and critics for a decade. She burst on the scene with an Oscar nod for An Education, was magnificent in Far from the Madding Crowd, Suffragette and Mudbound, and proved a force on stage in London and New York. She’s an actress capable of both smoldering intensity and an easy charm that seems to forge a path straight from her heart and through the deep dimple in her left cheek. Also as with Gyllenhaal, she can say more with a glance, expression or inflection than most actors can with a soliloquy. Despite the stunning greenery and mountain backdrops, you could compare Wildlife to a play. But if it were limited to the stage, the faces, the pain, the nuances and the deadly silences would be lost in the distance from stage to seats. The emotional investment for the moviegoer is bearing witness to an inevitable evaporation that one is helpless to stop. Set in 1960, Wildlife is a period piece that reflects the “I’m the man, you’re the woman” attitudes of the times, the denial and the passive aggression. The haunting doowop ballads of the era add to the sadness. Yet, it could be set in any era. Disintegration of family happens all too frequently. If you’re human at all, you feel empathy. After seeing Wildlife, with the work of its actors destined for recognition of some sort, you cannot leave the multiplex without being affected in some visceral way. An achievement, indeed. ♦

There are also rarer dishes that beg for attention. Bhindi masala ($10.99), a dry curry roasted okra dish, caught my eye, and so we chose it, an order of vegetable biryani ($8.99) and the so-called “sweet naan” ($3.99). Everywhere else “sweet naan” is known as

Peshwari naan, naan stuffed with raisins and cashews. Perhaps calling it sweet naan avoids being asked about it repeatedly. Our friends chose the chicken curry ($13.99), lamb curry ($14.99) and the garlic naan ($2.99). In all, though we were not sharing, the table had what would amount to a good representation of what Bollywood had to offer. My friend Steve spent three years in Japan as part of his work, and being as obsessed with the Japanese culture as I am, I had to know if he had the opportunity to explore the country. Sadly, he told me, no. The area he was stationed in was remote and far removed from the big city lights of Tokyo, though he did pass through once. Our dishes arrived to the tune of a Bollywood YouTube playlist above our heads as Steve spoke of Japan, and suddenly we were in India instead. The curry okra was a dish that I had tried once before in Birmingham, England, and fallen in love with. Here it was quite similar, though with a touch less heat, which is fine. Okra is a tricky vegetable to get right because oftentimes, if cooked improperly, it can become slimy, a word often associated with slugs rather than food. At Bollywood, the okra was handled properly, with a hint of crispness in each bright bite. The vegetable rice, a staple to any of our Indian nights out, was executed well, too. You’ll find this to be similar to other well-regarded Indian restaurants throughout the county, so order with confidence. Steve and Andrew told us that the lamb and chicken curries were wonderful. I’ll have to take their word for it. If it’s any indication, both were finished dutifully. As we finished, my wife using the Peshwari naan to soak up the remnants of masala (though, and I’ll never tell her, I feel the Peshwari is more suited for dessert rather than a main course) Andrew ordered another dish to take home, an endorsement of Bollywood’s quality. The restaurant offers a daily lunch buffet as well, so perhaps, when the mood strikes, a weekday visit to Simi will be in order to sample the rest of the restaurant’s goods. Until then, at least for now I’ll know that a 45-minute drive will be well worth it if we end up at Bollywood. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Business Meating

man asked me for my number at an event, saying he wanted to take me to dinner. I told him I’d just ended a relationship and wasn’t ready to date. Of course, he then said it’d be a business dinner, and I consented and wrote my number down. I feel that I had bad boundaries and wish a) he hadn’t been so forward and b) I hadn’t given my number. How could I handle this better in the future? I’m a pretty assertive woman, so my collapsing under pressure was disturbing. — Jell-O This is like your telling somebody who wants you to dog-sit “Sorry, I’m allergic to dogs” and having them

by amy alkon come back with “Actually, he identifies as a parrot.” To understand why you — “a pretty assertive woman” — basically defaulted to smileyface emoji mode when the poo emoji better fit the bill, it helps to know a few things about the psychology of personality. There are five major domains of personality that drive how a person acts — and they tend to be fairly stable across time and situations. These include conscientiousness — which reflects a person’s level of self-control and sense of responsibility to others. Another is extroversion — reflecting where a person falls on a spectrum from outgoingness to seeing social events as a form of torture that should h ave b e e n banned by the Geneva Conventions. Researchers find that women across cultures — whether rating their own personality or being rated by others — consistently come out higher than men in one of these personality domains: “agreeableness.” This is a “nice girl/nice guy” personality trait that plays out in kindness, generosity, warmth and a strong motivation to have positive interactions with others. It makes sense that women — on average, smaller and weaker than

men — would be higher in agreeableness. Psychologist Joyce Benenson, who researches sex differences from infancy on, believes that women’s tendency to default to polite acquiescence in the face of conflict is an evolved tactic to reduce their chances of being physically harmed. As a woman, it’s likely you’re a high scorer in the agreeableness department. However, as anthropologist Jerome Barkow points out, “biology is destiny only if we ignore

‘‘

Droop-Dead Gorgeous

I lost a bunch of weight after a horrible breakup. I’m eating healthful food now — yay. But I’m very aware that I’m one of those flabby skinny people. I used to go to the gym regularly, but I stopped, and now it’s been two years. How can I motivate myself ? — Stick Figure There is an unorthodox but excuse-proof way to get yourself back to the gym: Hire a psychopath to chase you there with an ax. If, however, the psychopaths in your area are busy servicing their regular clients, you might try rethinking the power you give your feelings over your behavior. The fact that you have a feeling — “Waah … I don’t wanna go to the gym” — is not reason to listen to it and obey it as if you were its feudal serf. Consider that unless there’s a national disaster or a wizard turns you into a decorative porch owl, you are physically capable of getting to the gym. Make a pledge to yourself that no matter how unmotivated you are to go there, you will just go. This “just do it” method, giving yourself no choice in the matter, is important,

There is an unorthodox but excuse-proof way to get yourself back to the gym: Hire a psychopath to chase you there with an ax. it.” Recognizing your propensity to be “nice” allows you to preplan to act in your best interest — have prepared answers for creative pursuers like this guy. For example: 1. You’re not ready to date. 2. You’re happy to take a phone call to see whether there might be a business opportunity. This should help you separate potentially lucrative business propositions from tarted-up versions of “There’s a very important meeting you simply must attend ... in my pants.”

because according to studies by psychologist Phillippa Lally and others, repetition leads to habit acquisition. To unpack what this means, behaviors you repeat become automatic — meaning you eventually just do them mindlessly; deciding whether to do them is no longer part of the process. To kick off the campaign for the new gym-going you, do this robogymgoing thing every day for two weeks, and then you can pull back to whatever your normal gym schedule would be. Give yourself a sense of accomplishment by monitoring your behavior. Check off days you go work out on a goal attainment app, or just color them in on a calendar. Giving yourself visual evidence of your progress should help you stay motivated during that time period before the physical results start to show. Kind of a bummer when you tell people you’ve been going to the gym and their response is, “And doing 20 sets of I’m not getting out of this car?” (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

You have officially arrived at the heart of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt, or distorted. You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

U2’s singer Bono, born under the sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from the sense that something’s missing from our lives. We imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this emptiness as “a God-shaped hole.” Bono adds that “you can never completely fill that hole,” but you may find partial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, family, meaningful work, parenting, activism, and spiritual devotion. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your God-shaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“Most of our desires are clichés, right? Ready to wear, one size fits all. I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have

the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

If you’re a typical member of the Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding constructively when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot and strong when you get sick or rejected or burned. But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealing with triumphs. You may sputter when faced with splashy joy, smart praise, or lucky breaks. But everything I just said is meant to be a challenge, not a curse. One of the best reasons to study astrology is to be aware of the potential shortcomings of your sign so you can outwit and overcome them. That’s why I think that eventually you’ll evolve to the point where you won’t be a bit flustered when blessings arrive. And the immediate future will bring you excellent opportunities to upgrade your response to good fortune.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“Each of us needs something of an island in her life,” said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least some place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free to cultivate her differences from others.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll be wise to spend extra time on your own island in the next two weeks. Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant loneliness, but will instead inspire creative power and evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in search! (P.S.: I translated Keats’ pronouns into the feminine gender.)

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

I’m rooting for you to engage in experimental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends and incandescent mixtures and arousing

juxtapositions. To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. 1. “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” — Julio Cortázar 2. “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets. — Anne Carson 3. “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars . . . The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.” — Rabindranath Tagore 4. “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s how love leads us into the world.” — Anne Michaels

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Of course I want you to have more money. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand your mind, deepen your emotional intelligence, and foster your ability to create inspiring forms of togetherness. My soul would celebrate if you got access to new wealth that enabled you to go in quest of spiritual fun and educational adventures. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be thrilled about you spending extra cash on trivial desires or fancy junk you don’t really need. Here’s why I feel this way: to the extent that you seek more money to pursue your most righteous cravings, you’re likely to get more money.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the ever-present possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as-yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them. Everything I just said is your top assignment in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You’re in a phase of your cycle when your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do. Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr. “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”

“Penetralia” is a word that means the innermost or most private parts, the most secret and mysterious places. It’s derived from the same Latin term that evolved into the word “penetrate.” You Scorpios are of course the zodiac’s masters of penetralia. More than any other sign, you’re likely to know where the penetralia are, as well as how to get to them and what to do when you get to them. I suspect that this tricky skill will come in extra handy during the coming weeks. I bet your intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, fun and knowledge.

Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors. He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what? I forget what happens next.” And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books! I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

For renowned Piscean visual artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004), creating her work was high adventure. She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described. And that’s a good thing! A fun thing! Enjoy your ride. Homework: What gifts and blessings do you want? Express your outrageous demands and humble requests. Freewillastrology.com.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (800) 758-8052 for information regarding the Trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. homesearch.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-0671. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderís sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your children. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 01/09/2019, 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 children: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 01/09/2019, 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 children 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.
