OPINION Editor’s Note

Moving forward from Election Day A s the polls came to a close on the West Coast, there seemed to be a general sense of relief. It’s finally over and your contribution is done. And we all needed a breather in this high stakes game of hope and change, part 2. Election Day came and went in a rather anti-climactic fashion, though for some there was great victory and others great loss, relatively speaking. But now that we are here after two years of embroiled antagonizing, the vote is done and the winners are becoming clearer on a local level though who actually wins, considering politicians versus voters, remains foggy and will continue for some time. A radio show host on the 5 O’clock drive home on Election Day referred to things going back to normal for all in about a week no matter who wins. It wasn’t obvious what sort of normal she was referring to because it does really seem to depend on who wins. That’s the sad aspect of the United States. The only teams really playing can’t win simultaneously and no other teams matter. It’s quite a unique example of winning and losing at the same time, the United States as a whole divided against itself. It’s hard to deny that we are struggling to grow, given stagnation and recession talk, and prospering appears far off for many as we continue to hate and fear what and who we do not respect or care to understand. And that applies in every direction. Upon reflection, Election Day couldn’t have arrived at a more interesting time, only days from the time change to darkness while still at work, at the start of the holiday season and a wood sculpture representing strength to overcome anything is being crafted in downtown Ventura with the American flag perfectly set in the background. Visiting the polls, however, from Moorpark to Ventura, the majority of the day, there were no real lines to speak of at four of five sites. The government center was the only one to have a bustling about but not really a line, the quiet was a bit unsettling especially considering what so many reported as long lines. Judging by local turnout at that time of day, enthusiasm for Election Day has been reduced to a matter of convenience and perhaps not worth the time off. But Trump did wonders for voter

turnout with states such as Florida and Virginia reporting 20-year highs. By 6:45 p.m. on Election Day, Republicans were holding strong at 45 seats of the U.S. Senate seats and Democrats, 35 seats. In the U.S. House of Representatives, Republicans held 83 seats and Democrats held 77 seats. By morning, Democrats officially took the House but the Senate remained under control of Republicans. And so begins official gridlock in Congress yet again. The twoyear ping pong effect of disgruntled and scared citizens trying to level the playing field is right on time. Recall the success of the Tea Party in 2010. To see that Trump fever has lost its hold in certain states now represented by Democrats must be disappointing for the most ardent Trump supporters but what those people seem to lack in understanding is that ruling by fear and threats can only last so long. But we will see what happens in 2020. We can only hope the nation will truly be able to see more clearly with a candidate who speaks with care and concern for all, not just those who prefer to pick battles with those who have some sort of minority status. And a candidate who speaks to disenfranchised white people who feel like they are becoming irrelevant. We will be watching. Elections, however, are frustrating no matter which way you look at it because in the end, isn’t the point of being in this country about the pursuit of happiness? And why must it wait or be threatened every two years? In the meantime, there are ways that we as a community can solve some of society’s ills, such as the opioid epidemic and violent thoughts and actions, by working together and being true friends. Nature will always have its advocates. It’s humanity that is flailing. Once we start to really know each other and extend our hands to help one another, be it projects or picking up things from the store or whatever, the more interconnected we are, the better chance our happiness will not be at stake like this again. We must move from this point forward that we as a country will make the politicians work for us and not the party brand and we can be certain that come Election Day, voters won’t be casting ballots simply for a sense of normalcy. seasonal change that happens at this time of year. The air is cool and crisp, days shorter, and we can look forward to bundling up, carving pumpkins and Halloween. Many of us have memories of trick or treating in our neighborhoods, going door to door for treats and seeing familiar faces. When children are taken from their homes and placed in foster care, they no longer have the continuity other children enjoy. No longer can they carve pumpkins and put them on their own front porch, or cozy up in their family room to read books or play games. The possibility for idyllic scenes with their biological family comes to an abrupt end. These children are innocent bystanders in their adult caregiv-

ers’ dramatic lives. CASA volunteers, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, work one-on-one with children and teens in foster care. They advocate on their behalf in Court, help secure necessary resources, and provide information to the Court that helps them make better-informed decisions about his or her case. Each of us has the power to improve foster children’s lives, restore their trust and hope, and help them create new, happy memories. Become a CASA volunteer. Teresa Romney Executive Director, CASA of Ventura County www.casaofventuracounty.org

Trump’s and out-and-out outLIAR A UN group has today given a terrifying report that the “devastating effects of climate change will hit harder — and decades sooner — than previously expected,” unless swift and sweeping changes are made worldwide. President Trump is being described as a “global outlier in terms of climate change.” He’s NOT an outlier; he’s an out-and-out outLIAR and OUTLAW and must be brought to justice as soon as possible.

Jim Osborn oversaw construction of important infrastructure in Vietnam, such as this ammo bunker, with assistance from locals and foreign workers.

Veterans Day Roundup Vets fly in from around the country while public events honor locals who served

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

eterans Day is Sunday, Nov. 11, and Ventura County is playing host to several events honoring local heroes who have served in the various branches of the U.S. military from World War II to Afghanistan. Also on the docket: a visit from veterans across the country. Eighty-eight former service members and their spouses will visit Ventura from Monday, Nov. 12, through Friday, Nov. 16, to tour the U.S. Navy Seabee Museum, Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, and visit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The group, all of whom served during the Vietnam War as part of the Civil Engineer Corps (CEC), passed through the Civil Engineer Corps’ basic foundation school located in Port Hueneme on their way to various projects overseas. “When the Vietnam War got hot, there was a lot of construction that needed to be accomplished,” said Jim Osborn, organizer of the upcoming reunion. “They first turned to the Army because it was an Army war, and the Navy said, ‘I don’t think so, if you read your rules we’re responsible for all the construction there.’ ” The CEC was given the responsibility to construct infrastructure in Vietnam and established an office in charge of construction in Saigon, says Osborn. Osborn served in the CEC from 1970 to 1971 while stationed in Saigon. The group of veterans will include several who have served in higher offices within the Navy, including two Admi-

rals and several who were Navy Captains, and will be arriving from Florida, Alabama, Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington, to name a few points of origin, with ages ranging from 68 to 80 and older. Osborn says that up to 30 of the group recently returned from a trip to Vietnam as well. The group chose Ventura County, says Osborn, because of it being the home of the Civil Engineer Corps training facility in Port Hueneme, adding that this might be the final group gathering. The Corps’ mark on the world will remain long after the reunions end, however. “We put in over $2 billion of new construction during that period of time, including everything from roads to railroads to buildings to wells and hospitals to bridges that are still there today,” said Osborn. “When I Google Earth Vietnam I can see my construction sites where the stuff I built is still in place. It’s kind of an interesting thing.”

Student members of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme Squires Housing satellite have reason to celebrate this month as test results show reading fluency improved by 113 percent over the summer. Youth aged 6 to 18 years old participated in the Summer Learning Academy made possible through funding by local philanthropist Bill Wilson through the Ventura County Community Foundation. The Squires Housing unit, in partnership with the City of Oxnard’s Housing Authority, housed up to six youth members before the Summer Learning Academy opened in the summer. The number has since doubled thanks to Wilson’s contribution. “Mr. Wilson’s generous support enabled us to establish the Academy, double the number of youth served and extend afterschool hours Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m.,” said Erin Antrim, CEO. The Academy also served 40 club members over the course of the summer, offering programs such as Hardy Brain Wordquest, which involves a series of tests to determine reading level and fluency via interactive games and quizzes. As the program completed, the students took the Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency, which measures reading achievements. Testing showed students made a 113 percent improvement in reading since the program began. ““These youth live in a high-need area, surrounded by poverty and gangs,” said Antrim. “To be able to provide programs that kept them engaged and learning over the summer was an incredible opportunity.” For more information, visit www.BGCOP.org.

Crime Briefs

2018 SEMI-OFFICIAL MIDTERM RESULTS

JANUARY COURT DATE NEXT UP FOR SUSPECTED MURDERER OF VENTURA FATHER

The suspect behind a murder that made national headlines in April is next expected in court on Jan. 10, 2019, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s office. Jamal Jackson, 49, is suspected in the stabbing death of Anthony Mele, Jr., which took place at the Aloha Steakhouse in Ventura on April 18. Jackson was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation after his public defender raised doubt on his competency to stand trial. Jackson had previously said during a court appearance that he had cameras in his eyes and was an FBI agent. Jackson pleaded not guilty to the crime at arraignment in April. In April, Jackson allegedly entered the restaurant and stabbed 35-year-old Mele in the neck as he dined with his family. He later JAMAL JACKSON died from his wounds. Witnesses followed Jackson out of the restaurant and waited for police to arrive. It was later revealed that Jackson had been reported to the Ventura Police Department for a disturbance earlier near the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Jackson was surveilled using cameras in the area, but police did not respond in person to the scene. The incident sparked several demonstrations calling for City Council and the police to do something about a perceived homeless crisis in the city.

VENTURA COUNTY INMATE DEATH RULED HOMICIDE

Officials say that the death of 61-year-old county jail inmate Michael Larios Torres was the result of a homicide perpetrated by his cellmate, making the second homicide at the jail in recent months. The death, which occurred on Thursday, Oct. 26, resulted from blunt force trauma to the head and neck compression and is suspected to have been caused by his cellmate, who has not been named. No arrests have been made to date, however. Torres was due to appear in court on Friday, Nov. 9, over allegations of violating a domestic violence restraining order. His death marks the second homicide for the Ventura County jail of the year, and the fourth homicide while in custody in 2018.

CSUCI STUDENT ATTACKED, FORCING SCHOOL LOCKDOWN

California State University, Channel Islands, students and faculty were alarmed on Wednesday, Oct. 31, when a notice was sent following an alleged attack in a bathroom on campus involving a firearm. At approximately 11 a.m., the Ventura County Fire Department responded to an emergency and one victim was transported to a local hospital by medical emergency personnel following the incident. The attacker was described as a 24- to 25-year-old woman of medium complexion wearing a gray shirt, black pants and gray Converse shoes. She allegedly was carrying a silver handgun as well, and was last seen fleeing the area. University Police and local authorities are handling the criminal investigation but as of yet no suspect has been identified. School officials came under fire on social media by students and local residents following the incident for the delay between the incident and the alert being sent at 12:10 p.m. Students were asked to stay where they were and lock their doors and told that classes would be cancelled for the remainder of the day. A follow-up notice at 3 p.m. noted that the threat no longer existed and that classes would resume the following day.

WOMAN ARRESTED IN VENTURA FOR THROWING BOTTLE AT AMBASSADOR

Ventura County has voted, giving rise to new faces on city councils, school boards and beyond. In Ventura and Oxnard, recently adopted district elections brought new faces to city hall. In Ventura’s District 1, Sofia Rubalcava leads by a significant margin. In District 4, Erik Nasarenko is holding a strong lead while Jim Friedman is atop the race in District 5 and Lorrie Brown appears to be heading toward victory in District 6. In Oxnard, incumbent Mayor Tim Flynn is doing well to hold off challenger Aaron Starr, while incumbents Bert Perello and Carmen Ramirez are holding on in Districts 1 and 2, respectively. Meanwhile in Thousand Oaks, a highly contentious school board election could see incumbents getting kicked to the curb. Incumbent Mike Dunn, who has come under fire since becoming part of the majority on the board for his stances on everything from the content of books to his opposition to the inclusion of LGBTQ materials in curriculums, is currently polling sixth of eight candidates, with the top three vote-getters claiming seats. The Ventura County Clerk reports that the next countywide update will come on Friday, Nov. 9. These results are considered semi-official and could change with the counting of mail-in and provisional ballots. Statewide vote tallies are taken from the California Secretary of State’s official results. State results can be found at vote.sos.ca.gov and are accurate as of Nov. 7, 8 a.m.; county results can be found at www. recorder.countyofventura.org and are accurate as of Nov. 7, 2:19 a.m. NOTE: Numbers represent percentage of the vote. Given the numbers are not official, close races include top contenders.

Rollin' Rebels

Area residents join in the first competitive soccer team for the wheelchair bound

BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

n a wheelchair since age 4, Connor Biggerstaff of Ventura is now an avid player in power wheelchair soccer, usually referred to as power soccer, and a member of the Santa Barbara Rollin’ Rebels, where he has learned teamwork and made many good friends. “If you’re willing to make a commitment to the team, you will have a lot of fun,” said Biggerstaff, 25, who has been part of the evolving power soccer group in Santa Barbara since the autumn of 2006. Biggerstaff has a mitochondrial disease, an energy metabolism disorder. “My specific form of mitochondrial disease is Leigh’s Syndrome,” he explained. “It affects my eyesight, speech, fine motor skills and mobility, but cognitively I am unaffected. I have been in a wheelchair since age 4 and a power chair since I was 10.” Power soccer is the first competitive team sport designed and developed specifically for power wheelchair users, said Rae van Seenus, director of marketing for United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) WORK, Inc. UCP WORK is a sponsor of the Rollin’ Rebels Power Soccer Team and provides transportation to

games, power soccer wheelchairs and coaching. The organization is the largest nonprofit in the tri-county area serving adults and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities. It offers field trips for special education classes from Ventura County schools to accessible places such as the pumpkin patch, Brandin’s Village playground in Calabasas and the Santa Barbara Zoo. UCP WORK also sponsors programs such as children’s and adult yoga and nutrition services, as well as the power soccer team. “This action-packed sport combines the skills of the wheelchair user with the speed and power of the chair itself to create an extremely challenging game — very similar to soccer,”

van Seenus explained. The players have a wide array of disabilities, she said, including cerebral palsy and other disabilities that may have been acquired due to a traumatic brain injury or other diagnosis. They are both male and female, ranging in age from 14 to 55, and coached by Dan Weiner, who has 22 years of experience coaching Special Olympics and is the former Life Skills Coach for UCP WORK. When asked why he chooses to coach a power soccer team, Weiner said, “It’s because the game gets players that wouldn’t otherwise be in competitive sports to get out there and play, plus it gives players with disabilities complete independence.”

“All other power soccer teams are using these Strike Force chairs and our team has antiquated equipment,” van Seenus said. “The new chairs allow team members to finally be highly competitive on the court, where in the past they lost games due to old equipment.” Biggerstaff is especially excited to compete in a new chair. “I’m looking forward to this new season because we have new chairs specifically designed for power soccer that were gifted by our benefactor,” he said. “We are excited to see how much they improve our game.” On Oct. 20, Weiner and his team started practicing every Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the gymnasium at Carpinteria Middle School. The public is encouraged to watch and stay up-to-date on game schedules found on the Rollin’ Rebels Facebook page. Port Hueneme resident Ulices Arreola, who plays all positions on the team, said many games have been played, “but not

The sport involves two teams of four power chair users that attack, defend and maneuver an oversized soccer ball in an attempt to score points on a goal. The ball, which is 18 inches in diameter, is manipulated by formed soccer guards mounted on the front of each player’s chair. “The sport is co-ed by design with male and female athletes,” said van Seenus, adding that the game is usually played indoors in a gymnasium on a regulation-size basketball court. “The sport was developed more than 20 years ago, but is now exploding on to the public scene,” van Seenus said. For instance, the United States, Canada, Denmark, England, France and Japan currently field teams and tournaments, and the National Disability Sports Alliance recently welcomed power soccer as an official sport on its roster. “This is an extremely competitive game, and it builds selfconfidence and a sense of being part of something far bigger than yourself,” van Seenus emphasized. “In addition, the program creates lifelong friendships.” Historically the Rollin’ Rebels have lost most games due to antiquated equipment, but this is expected to change in the light of a $40,000 grant the team received from a private donor. The gift funded four new Strike Force power wheelchairs. The Strike Force is known as the Ferrari of the sport and is said to outperform every other power wheelchair on the market. It’s designed with a low center of gravity, wide wheelbase, and a customized center mount joystick, and is able to “spin kick” with more power.

lodging,” she said. “It would be wonderful if we could create a scholarship fund for athletes who are unable to handle the expense involved in away games.” Wheelchair power soccer is a wonderfully athletic sport that takes great skill, she added. It also provides camaraderie for people with disabilities who historically may live “very isolated lives.” “Team members receive a lesson in teamwork and being part of something far bigger than themselves,” van Seenus said. “The program also creates long, supportive friendships.” UCP was originally founded as W.O.R.K, Inc., in 1968, after Kiwanis of Santa Barbara surveyed the community about what it wanted in services and the response indicated a vocational training program for people with developmental disabilities. W.O.R.K., Inc. (Workshop Organized for Rehabilitation by the Kiwanis) came to be with the help of a local physician who worked in rehabilitation.

much luck on those games because of the old chairs.” Now that they have the Strike Force chairs, “The team is expected to do a lot more, have competitive games and more games expected to be won,” said the 14-year-old. “Now we have to focus on practice, practice and more practice.” The teen hopes to eventually make it to the level of a conference team, which would allow him to play the sport all around the United States. “I’d like to invite all those people with any kind of disability to become active in sports . . . to get out and find resources of what they can do,” he said. “We are not alone and there are many good people out there that can help.” The team can always use community support in the way of donations, van Seenus said. “Travelling to games outside of our area is very costly,” she said. “For example, we need to utilize several wheelchair lift vehicles and drivers for California games, plus food, lodging, etc.” Additionally, if the team travels out of state, “it is extremely expensive and in essence cost prohibitive, because we need to ship these chairs, find suitable accessible transportation and

W.O.R.K. Inc. had a staff of only three teachers and served 15 participants. The workshop focused on vocational skills training in machine operation, landscape and grounds maintenance, mailing and packaging services, electronics assembly and mechanical assembly. By 1974, the center was steadily serving on average 90 participants annually. During this time, it was blessed with a well-equipped machine shop, a woodworking facility and a complete offset printing operation. On July 2, 2001, United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties (UCPLA) became the parent organization to WORK, Inc. The merger with UCPLA has enhanced WORK, Inc.’s capacity to offer services throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties for children and adults with developmental disabilities. ✦ UCP WORK, Inc. will be celebrating its 50th golden anniversary event on Thursday, Nov. 8, 6-10 p.m. at El Paseo Mexican Restaurant, 813 Anacapa St., in Santa Barbara. Tickets available at www. ucpworkinc50.eventbrite.com. RSVP required. For more information, email donate@ucpworking.org or visit wwwucpworkinc.org/ ways-to-give.

Atrium shuffle

Controversial art first removed, then reinstated at Ventura County Government Center by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

hen the Ventura County Arts Council (VCAC) sent out a call to artists for its October shows, Chaos and Order and Still At War, Atrium Gallery Curator Pete Ippel stated that he was looking for work that “not only encompasses physical and ideological conflicts but also the fights for equal rights, the war on drugs, and sexual harassment.” This was a widely different show from, say, the June exhibit, Arboreal, focusing on trees, or the self-explanatory Seasons from January. And, indeed, among the nature photographs and abstract pieces that went up on the walls on Oct. 12 were works that felt ripped from the headlines: a Latina child behind bars (Cecily Willis, “Little Girl in Dog Cage”), a woman in a pink “pussyhat” with the words “Resist” superimposed (Lois Freeman-Fox, “Resistance Furthers”), portraits of the 17 victims of the Feb. 14 Parkland, Florida, shooting by artist Gracie Pekrul. There were many powerful statements . . . and they didn’t go without notice. For those unfamiliar with the Atrium Gallery, it is housed at the Ventura County Government Center’s Hall of Administration. It’s not a dedicated gallery, per se, but art is displayed on open space on the walls of the second and third floors — around 400 linear feet, all told. According to the gallery’s online mission statement, the idea is to make art visible and available to the public “for the community’s enjoyment and education and the artists’ benefit; while coexisting within an active public workplace.” The VCAC and the Atrium Gallery curator are solely responsible for the art displayed; the government center merely provides the venue. “The County does not choose the artwork displayed by the Ventura County Arts Council,” confirmed Assistant County Executive Officer Mike Pettit. “The County provides gallery space to the council as a public service to support the arts. As such, the County is not promoting, supporting or opposing any agenda.” About a week after the dual-themed show opened, however, the government center — specifically, the office of Ventura County CEO Michael Powers, the General Services Agency (GSA) and the supervisors, according to Ippel — started receiving complaints. Pettit said that, to his knowledge, there were approximately 25-30 complaints made. “The first complaints were received on approximately Oct. 18. The complaints were primarily surrounding the artwork pieces located near the County Clerk and Recorders Office,” said Pettit. “Concern was raised that the artwork was politically charged and was located close to the Elections Division and on the walls of a public government building.” Pettit added that some individuals may have confused the Elections Division with the Clerk and Recorders Office, as the Elections Division is located on the lower plaza and that “no artwork whatsoever was displayed on that floor in public spaces.” In response to these complaints, 11 pieces out of 46 were taken down. County staff from the GSA informed Ippel on Oct. 24. “I have been working since that date to get the art reinstated,” Ippel said in an Oct. 26 email he sent to the artists (ShyAnne Happens, Cecily Willis, Gracie Pekrul, Myrna Cambianica and Lois Freeman-Fox) whose work had been removed. Happens, whose painting, “Rosie 2,” received an honor-

able mention, said that she was surprised when she got the news. “I felt that this would be controversial,” she said. “It seemed big.” Talks between the VCAC, county staff and its legal counsel ensued. “We talked about the conflicts, and that people needed to be heard,” Ippel said. “I was looking to find a solution where people could feel acknowledged regardless of their demands.” Eventually all parties reached “a compromise that attempted to address concerns raised by the public while still supporting First Amendment free speech,” Pettit explained. The solution: Keep the art, but move the more controversial works to a less conspicuous location. The government center was already considering expanding space allotted for the Atrium Gallery, and made it official with this show. The gallery now extends to the fourth floor, with works by Happens, Willis, Pekrul and others up on the walls, covering an additional 30+ feet of linear space. All work was reinstated by Oct. 26, in time for the artists’ reception and awards ceremony that took place later that evening. “That space is permanent; it’s an expansion,” Ippel noted. “The more space we have, the more viewpoints we can show. That’s a really positive thing.” “We jokingly refer to it as the Wall of Shame,” Willis said with a laugh about the new gallery space, where many of her watercolors now reside. (One of her works that did not stir controversy, “Street Musician, Ventura [After the Fire],” took first place in the show.) On a more serious note, she added, “I think the most important work is on the fourth floor.” While she’s happy a compromise was found, she still considers the accusations of liberal bias surrounding the show “ridiculous.” “The call [to artists] went out to everybody,” Willis said. “There are conservative artists out there. They could have entered the show.” She also wonders why some of the subject matter would be controversial in the first place. “Shouldn’t we all be against murdering children?” she said in reference to Perkul’s work. “When did that become a liberal or conservative thing?” Happens said that while she was originally alarmed when the artwork was removed, she is satisfied with the solution. “I’m glad it wasn’t taken out entirely. To have free speech as an artist is very important.” Not everyone is happy with the decision, however: Pettit admits that the government center has received complaints that the work is back up. Controversy is almost unheard of at the Atrium Gallery. But this most recent incident has illuminated the need for the VCAC, with assistance from county staff, to develop a formal protocol to follow in the event of complaints, and possibly provide a moderated forum where artists and audience members can share their views. “I think it’s a great idea,” Happens said. “It opens up more discussion.” Which is what Ippel had hoped to do with the show all along. “My intention [was] to use art as a tool for discussion. The fact that this is brought up through an art show is a valuable thing. I hope that the dialog keeps flowing.” ✦ Still At War and Chaos and Order will be on exhibit through Nov. 27 at the Atrium Gallery in the Hall of Administration of the Ventura County Government Center, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura. For more information, call 805-658-2213 or visit vcartscouncil.org.

VNLVX by Emily Savage

emilyannesavage@gmail.com

he hula dancers had just cleared the stage at the Hong Kong Inn in downtown Ventura when the announcer let everyone know that Ventura’s VNLVX (pronounced “Un-lucks”) was about to begin. This is both the opposite of whom one might expect to play the landmark Chinese-Thai restaurant-bar, and the perfectly quintessential Ventura underground thing to do. A small crowd gathered up front for VNLVX’s energetic set of post-punk rock ’n’ roll, fronted by 40-year-old vocalist Sasha Green. In a shredded sequined dress, she hollered a powerful melodic wail in the same spiritual vein as Poly Styrene or Alice Bag, alongside drummer Justin Dempsey, guitarist Derek Jennings and her longtime partner, Seth Pettersen, on bass and vocals. While Pettersen, 34, was born in Camarillo and has been

playing in bands throughout Ventura County since he was 13, this was his first show ever at Hong Kong Inn. A week later on the patio of Paddy’s, Pettersen explained the dilemma for do-it-yourself bands trying to play in Ventura. Issues he mentioned included noise problems, venues shuttering or being too far away for people to travel to safely, or just not enough spaces for bands such as VNLVX, given rising rents. “We haven’t given up on Ventura. We love it here, we love the people, there’s something very special about this town,” Pettersen said. “We just have to just get a little more creative, like we’ll play Grady’s Record Refuge or we’ll play the Hong Kong Inn or somewhere in Ojai where we’ve never been, or maybe someone’s having a house show.” Pettersen is perhaps best known for fronting folky indie band Franklin for Short, which toured with the likes of Kings of Convenience, or the punk band Massenger, his and Green’s previous band. Locals also know his solo output as well as Sweet Reaper, another current project for him and Green. Petterson and Green met in the late-2000s. At the time Green, originally from Panama, was exploring filmmaking and photography. Before long they were making music together and dating. Petterson said that Green is a natural at both vocal melodies and drumming — a position she now plays for Sweet Reaper. Massenger began in 2011 when Green was driving home from work with a melody in her head and Pettersen was ready

with a guitar in his hand. “She started singing and I started playing along to it and that became the song ‘Power to the People’ and that was the first song for Massenger.” Over the next five years, Massenger gained more members and a devoted following, playing dozens of hometown Ventura shows as well as touring, and eventually broke up during a tour stop in Austin, Texas. Green and Pettersen came back from that tour burnt out. Green wasn’t sure if she wanted to sing in bands anymore, she says. It was a rough time. “We were just trying to enjoy ourselves, but then the anger started pouring out through the pen, so to speak,” Green said. “The angst and the energy — the anger from the break up, from everything, and then Trump happened.” Their mutual friend, drummer Justin Dempsey, suggested they jam one night, forming the core of what would become VNLVX, and the first of their unlucky moments together happened: “We go to jam, we hit the first note and the power goes out for the whole block,” Pettersen said. (Turns out, Edison was working on the area.) The soon-to-be VNLVX decided to try again, this time on election night 2016. Assuming Hillary Clinton would be elected, they decided to wait out the results while working on music together. They kept checking the news between songs, and things became increasingly distressing. “I remember driving to work and it felt like the day after the world had ended. It felt like the air was heavier,” recalled Pettersen. “That’s how we [eventually] decided on the name ‘unlux’ — between what happened with the last band, the power going out and Trump.” The spelling of VNLVX was a style choice for the group. “The cool thing about this name is that VNLVX comes right up [on Google]. So we did good on that front,” Green said with a laugh. Despite that joking marketing reference, VNLVX is not making music for fame and fortune, the band members say. Their goals are simple: to make good music, to play quality venues and to tour again with bigger bands that bring them out. They put out a blistering debut album for free on Bandcamp a year ago — you won’t be able to get the main riff of “Hello” out of your head — and partnered with Burger Records to release the tape, because they didn’t want to wait for the vinyl. They wanted their music out there. “I just want people letting go of all the bullshit and enjoying it,” said Pettersen. “And us playing and feeling it, too. It’s the F back and forth, that’s why we do it.” For shows and more information on VNLVX, follow the band on Instagram at www.instagram.com/vnlvx or on Facebook at www. facebook.com/vnlvx/.

common with those of the group members. Though they all come from different races and economic backgrounds, all of them are struggling to survive to manhood. In Mid90s, Hill’s directorial debut is stripped down. He wanted a strong sense of authenticity to permeate the film. He brought in skilled skaters, some with acting experience (others . . . not so much). He was fortunate enough to find people that could carry out their roles as both skaters and actors without straining the story’s credibility. In addition, the music is as much a part of the film as the skating. Hill’s goal was to capture skater culture and atmosphere, and you can’t separate skateboarding from the music. In addition to the soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the film includes hip hop and rock tracks from bands both famous and not. Samples include A Tribe Called Quest, Jeru the Damaja, Pixies, Gravediggaz, Nirvana and Cypress Hill, to name a few, proof that L.A. in the ’90s had its own underground sound, not to mention the beats that were coming out of Compton and South L.A. While all this may sound like a tribute to a nostalgic past, Hill pared the writing and directing down to its basic essence, no sentiment allowed. These are struggling young men but they don’t view themselves as boys to be pitied. Rather, they take pride in their survival and their ability to take punches, literal and figurative. Sometimes they’re even insightful. A conversation with a homeless man in a park. Ray’s poignant council to Stevie. These are moments when life is clear to them, even if their choices may be self-destructive. Mid90s is a small film, raw in its lifestyle and language. But while Hill may move on to direct bigger projects, he acknowledged that this film was important to him because the subject matter spoke to his own youthful journey and to those who came of age in Los Angeles in the 1990s. In that sense, it was important for him to get it right, to make sure that he told the story as it was without embellishment. Whether or not you’re into skateboarding, Mid90s finds the humanity within the sport, explores the journey that is manhood and shows how some boys actually survive to tell the story. ♦

The Black Dragon Roll (shrimp tempura, crab, avocado and eel) was rich and a bit sweet, thanks to the tangy eel sauce. Both rolls were expertly prepared with very fresh, flavorful ingredients. Our server told me that the vegetable dumplings were made in-house, so I thought I’d give them a try. Maybe a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavors were good and 22 — — November 8, 2018

it was nice to have something with that home-cooking feel about it. We also had shrimp skewers with peanut sauce: simple, but satisfying. Unlike many restaurants, where appetizer portions are big enough to eat as a meal, Prawn and Basil truly intends to whet rather than sate the appetite — a good thing when there are so many tasty options on the menu. For entrees, we began with the drunken noodles. A very traditional Thai preparation with chicken and basil, it was deceptively simple. Not a powerhouse of flavors, but it seemed to get better the more we ate it. The big flavor punch came from the signature dish, Prawn and Basil. It sounds like a Thai curry dish, but is actually Cajun-inspired, with a decent kick from pepper, cayenne and paprika. Shrimp is cooked in the shell with corn, potatoes and sausage in a spicy broth, all served in a piping-hot foil packet. It was wonderful and so different from the Asian-inspired fare that came before. Peeling the shrimp was fun but messy — consider ordering it with the shell off for a tidier meal. We couldn’t resist the interesting dessert menu. While I was intrigued by the green tea cheesecake, we decided on a few classics: strawberry mochi, sticky rice with mango and coconut ice cream with panko-crusted fried bananas. There was no clear favorite: One person loved the mochi for the contrast between the custardy filling and somewhat chewy shell, while another gravitated toward the textured sticky rice. I have a love for fried bananas, so that was easily my top choice — although I’ve had better coconut ice cream. What might have impressed me most about Prawn and Basil was its ability to offer so many different kinds of food with equal precision. Great sushi, great noodles, really good Cajun shrimp . . . I’m kicking myself now for not exploring more. The server told me that the soft-shell crab burger is one of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, and also gave high praise to the good old-fashioned burger. And I suspect the chef makes some good fish tacos. If you’ve got a group that can’t decide or varies wildly in palate, take them to Prawn and Basil. There’s something for everyone, and it’s all good. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

by amy alkon baby, but it’s terrible to be with a man who lacks love, respect and desire for you. — Tormented

Apartnering Up

y husband and I started having problems when I found an email he sent to his ex-girlfriend saying, “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He’s never complimented me during our five years together. He revealed that he and his ex used to have sex for hours, while the most we ever spent making love was 45 minutes — only once, when we were first dating. I think I should leave, but we have a 1-year-old child. We are good together caring for the

Parents today are in fierce competition for whose kid achieves things first: “Little Euripides graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard while still in the womb!” Best not to be the parents whose child has the dark side nailed, reflected in Instagram brag shots like “Baby’s First Rehab!” A good deal of research suggests that the healthiest home environment for a kid is an “intact family” — as opposed to the “Uncle” Of The Month Club. Couples wanting what’s best for their children are motivated to de-uglify their relationship and can often work out what I call “process-oriented” problems (counterproductive ways of interacting that lead to nasty fights or just seething resentment). This is essential because even if nobody’s screaming and hurling casserole dishes, the underlying tone of a relationship is reflected in interactions as mundane as “Can ya pass the salt?” (Ideally, your tone suggests some affection for your partner — not that your reluctance to do time is all that’s keeping you from smothering

them with a pillow.) You, however, are in a relationship with a man who is deeply passionate about another woman and appears to see sex with you as a household chore. Your resentment from feeling unwanted and equally toxic feelings from him are sure to seep into your daily life. So, staying together under these circumstances would most likely be damaging for your child — but chances are, so would splitting up. To understand why an intact family seems important for kids’ wellbeing, it helps to understand a few things from an area of evolutionary research called “life history theory.” It explores how the type of environment a person grows up in calibrates their psychology and behavior — for example, how able they are to delay gratification. This calibration is basically a form of human mental economics — a subconscious calculation of how stable or risky a person’s childhood environment is and whether they’d be better off allocating their energy and efforts toward the now or the future. A stable, predictable environment — like growing up with middle-class parents who remain married, live in a peaceful neighborhood, and always provide

enough food to eat — tends to lead to a more future-oriented approach (like being able to save money). Conversely, growing up in a dangerous neighborhood, having divorced parents with unpredictable finances, and getting moved around a lot is likely to lead to a more now-oriented approach (spendorama!). The good news is, you two may be able to break up without it breaking your kid. My friend Wendy Paris and her former husband did this — splitting up as a couple while staying together as parents of their young son. Wendy writes in her book Splitopia: Dispatches From Today’s Good Divorce and How To Part Well that they even relocated together from Ne w York to Los Angeles, moving to separate places a few blocks apart. They hang out and do activities as a family. Her ex often comes over to make breakfast for her son and coffee for her. He even takes out the trash! Sure, he did that when they were married, but Wendy was too preoccupied with her issues with him as a husband to appreciate it like she can now. It’s difficult to set up an arrangement like Wendy’s if you’re, oh … say … preoccupied with wishing your husband’s penis would wither and

fall off like a skin tag under a dermatologist’s liquid nitro. In a situation like yours, where resentment is high, a mediator could be helpful. (Look for a marital specialist at Mediate.com.) A mediator is not a judge and won’t tell you what to do. He or she is a neutral third party, de-escalating conflict — creating a safe, productive psychological environment. This makes it possible for people with disputes to work out a mutually acceptable agreement for how they’ll go forward. Now, mediation doesn’t work for everyone. However, it’s probably your best bet for “having it all” — acting in your child’s best interest and eventually having a man in your life who sees you as more than ballast to keep the mattress down in case there’s a tornado. ♦ (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

(March 21-April 19):

In 1994, Aries pop diva Mariah Carey collaborated with an associate to write the song “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” It took them 15 minutes to finish it. Since then it has generated $60 million in royalties. I wish I could unconditionally predict that you, too, will efficiently spawn a valuable creation sometime soon. Current planetary alignments do indeed suggest that such a development is more possible than usual. But because I tend to be conservative in my prophecies, I won’t guarantee anything close to the $60-million figure. In fact, your reward may be more spiritual in nature than financial.

(April 20-May 20):

An interactive post at Reddit.com asked readers to write about “the most underrated feeling of all time.” One person said, “When you change the sheets on your bed.” Another extolled “the feeling that comes when you pay all your bills and you’ve still got money in the bank.” Others said, “dancing under the rain,” “physical contact like a pat on the back when you’re really touch starved,” and “listening to a song for the first time and it’s so good you just can’t stop smiling.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect that the next two weeks will bring you a flood of these pleasurable underrated feelings.

“Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer,” wrote Gemini author Henry Lawson. Do you have any methods for making yourself feel like you’ve drunk a few beers that don’t involve drinking a few beers? If not, I highly recommend that you find at least one. It will be especially important in the coming weeks for you to have a way to alter, expand, or purify your consciousness without relying on literal intoxicants or drugs. The goal: to leave

your groove before it devolves into a rut.

VIRGO

CANCER

Here’s useful wisdom from the poet Rumi. “Our defects are the ways that glory gets manifested,” he said. “Keep looking at the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.” Playwright Harrison David Rivers interprets Rumi’s words to mean, “Don’t look away from your pain, don’t disengage from it, because that pain is the source of your power.” I think these perspectives are just what you need to meditate on, Virgo. To promote even more healing in you, I’ll add a further clue from poet Anna Kamienska: “Where your pain is, there your heart lies also.” (P.S. Rumi is translated by Coleman Barks; Kamienska by Clare Cavanagh.)

(June 21-July 22):

Study the following five failed predictions. 1. “There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom.” — Robert Miliham, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1923. 2. “This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.” — Western Union internal memo, 1876. 3. “Rail travel at high speeds is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia.” — Dionysius Lardner, scientist, 1830. 4. “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” — Ken Olson, president of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977. 5. “Most Cancerians will never overcome their tendencies toward hypersensitivity, procrastination, and fear of success.” — Lanira Kentsler, astrologer, 2018. (P.S. What you do in the next 12 months could go a long way toward permanently refuting the last prediction.)

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

German scientists have created cochlear implants for gerbils that have been genetically modified, enabling the creatures to “listen” to light. The researchers’ work is ultimately dedicated to finding ways to improve the lives of people with hearing impairments. What might be the equivalent of you gaining the power to “hear light”? I understand that you might resist thinking this way. “That makes no sense,” you may protest, or “There’s no practical value in fantasizing about such an impossibility.” But I hope you’ll make the effort anyway. In my view, stretching your imagination past its limits is the healing you need most right now. I also think that doing so will turn out to be unexpectedly practical.

LIBRA

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Artist David Hockney is proud of how undemanding he is toward his friends and associates. “People tell me they open my e-mails first,” he says, “because they aren’t demands and you don’t need to reply. They’re simply for pleasure.” He also enjoys giving regular small gifts. “I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms.” Hockney seems to share the perspective expressed by author Gail Godwin, who writes, “How easy it was to make people happy, when you didn’t want or need anything from them.” In accordance with astrological omens, Libra, I suggest you have fun employing these approaches in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

I am not currently a wanderer or voyager or entrepreneur or swashbuckler. But at other times in my life, I have had extensive experience with those roles. So I know secrets about how and why to be a wanderer and voyager and entrepreneur and swashbuckler. And it’s clear to me that in the coming weeks you could benefit in unforeseen ways from

researching and embodying the roles of curious wanderer and brave voyager and savvy entrepreneur and prudent swashbuckler.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“The best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.” That brilliant formulation came from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Does it seem so obvious as to not need mentioning? Bear with me while I draw further meaning from it, and suggest you use it as an inspiring metaphor in the coming weeks. When it rains, Sagittarius, let it rain; don’t waste time and emotional energy complaining about the rain. Don’t indulge in fruitless fantasizing about how you might stop the rain and how you’d love to stop the rain. In fact, please refrain from defining the rain as a negative event, because after all, it is perfectly natural, and is in fact crucial for making the crops grow and replenishing our water supply. (P.S. Your metaphorical “rain” will be equally useful.)

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

“Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation,” writes activist and author Elif Shafak. “If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven’t loved enough.” I bring this to your attention because you’re in a phase when your close alliances should be activating healing changes in your life. If for some reason your alliances are not yet awash in the exciting emotions of redemption and reinvention, get started on instigating experimental acts of intimacy.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

I suspect you will be an especially arousing influence in the coming weeks. You may also be inspiring and disorienting, with unpredictable results. How many transformations will you unleash? How

many expectations will you dismantle? How many creative disruptions will you induce in the midst of the daily grind? I hesitate to underestimate the messy beauty you’ll stir up or the rambunctious gossip you’ll provoke. In any case, I plan to be richly amused by your exploits, and I hope everyone else will be, as well. For best results, I will pray to the Goddess of Productive Fun, begging Her to ensure that the commotions and uproars you catalyze will be in service to love and kindness.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson wasn’t always a wild and crazy writer. Early in his career he made an effort to compose respectable, measured prose. When he finally gave up on that project and decided he could “get away with” a more uninhibited style, he described it as being “like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.” I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future, Pisces.
