OPINION Keep up the “Good Knee”

Editorial

Buying votes

oney can’t buy you happiness, but it can certainly be persuasive, at least when it comes to election

season. No doubt the last couple of years of divisive policies, behaviors and statements have caused a significant rift not only in this country, but among friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. Worse, it’s not easing up. Election 2018 is in full effect. Ads created and/or approved by candidates or groups and organizations that support one view or another are rampant. From commercials to mailers to yard signs, we are bombarded by names and labels and opinions that predict daunting realities depending on which way you vote. Sometimes, when a candidate receives a flood of support, it can be a true valuation or an illusion, or both. For instance, for governor, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom has accumulated over $46 million in his campaign vault. His opponent, John Cox, $10.2 million. Does Newsom represent a highly valued person or is it just vested interests that want to see him win? As reported by the L.A. Times on Sept. 6 in “Track the millions flowing into California’s race for governor,” Newsom’s top donors are California Teachers Association ($1.1 million); Blue Shield of California ($996,440); Stewart and Lynda Resnick, the billionaire couple behind Fiji Water and POM Wonderful juice ($116,800); and Marissa Mayer and Zachary Bogue, former CEO of Yahoo and her husband, a Silicon Valley investor ($108,800). Cox’s top donors are himself ($5.6 million), Professional Financial Investors Inc., a property investment and management firm in Marin and Sonoma Counties ($149,000); Melba Jean and Floyd Kvamme, founder of Lichen Oaks Adaptive Riding Center, a therapeutic horseback riding center in Santa Cruz, and her husband ($68,400); and Thomas and Carolyn Dauterman, owner of Thomas Manufacturing, a manufacturer of nut harvesting equipment in Chico, and his wife ($39,200). Seeing who the donors are doesn’t help much when trying to make an educated

Does one life matter?

hungry child or senior that happens to be poor did not choose poverty or going without. All lives do matter and with the aid of a few good people, lives could be enhanced greatly — and yes, with charity. We (those of us) that live in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties can do good works to end hunger right where we live. Take an example of a woman living in the deep South (southern USA) that worked her whole life to save enough money and create a food share program to feed hungry children.

decision on what is right and wrong. Teachers and health-care insurance are good, right? Bankers and financial investors are bad? Donald Trump boasted about how he funded his own campaign. Is that a reliable way to evaluate someone’s worth as a politician? Perhaps, but it all depends on whether you are ideologically aligned with a candidate. California propositions aren’t any better. Millions have been poured into supporting and opposing November’s ballot initiatives, including $10.9 million for Prop. 4 for children’s hospitals versus no money in opposition; $13.2 million for Prop. 5, the property tax transfer, versus $1.8 million in opposition; $4.4 million for Prop. 6, the gas tax repeal, versus $31.5 million in opposition; $18 million for Prop. 8 regarding dialysis clinics versus $72.8 million in opposition; and $19.6 million for Prop. 10 on local rent control versus $55 million in opposition. While reviewing the donors’ names may show obvious ties for or against any of the above, that doesn’t necessarily help the average person understand the best way to vote. There have been studies that show that most people cannot comprehend the true value of anything that costs more than $1 million since most exist on less than a six-figure income. Over the years, between the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United, which enabled practically unlimited spending on candidates without consequence or transparency, and the ultimate power and prestige that comes with being an elected official, it’s becoming more difficult to understand our democracy. Does it serve the people or the elite? Moving forward as an informed electorate, it’s critically important to recognize that money and democracy simply don’t mix and we should stand behind getting rid of its influence in politics. Absolute power should not be for sale and money should not be a fair scale by which we evaluate politicians or propositions. Learn the issues for yourself. Political advertising only works if you allow it to.

Re: “What would Bill Bowerman do?” by Paul Moomjean, Sept. 13 Obviously Moomjean feels justified in attacking Kaepernick (K) for Taking the Knee (caps are intentional) because K was blacklisted by so many teams. He feels, he says, that Nike is disrespecting our past and goes on to refer to a number of war-related events. And, Moomjean, this is not an unpopular “showcase” of K’s beliefs. It is a demonstration of what it means to be an American. It is a demonstration of Free Speech. K wanted to make a point about “Black Lives Matter” (they do!), not demonstrate some expression of disrespect for our flag or for our country. Because of our Constitution, K is not only free to, but invited to, speak out about what he believes. Whether one agrees with him or not, we should all be so grateful that he has the right to do just that. He wasn’t speaking about war in other countries. K was demonstrating what the “war” in this country means: that some races are more “allowed” than others. The shootings of black men across our country has increased and goes unpunished, and it is essential that people, in agreement with K or not, stand up against racism, against murder, against hatred. I hail Kaepernick for what he has done, and I went out to buy another pair of Nikes right away. I am proud of them both. They make me realize that although, in the last few years, I have had such a sick feeling about our country and what is happening to it, I am thrilled to have K and Nike to look to for reassurance. Keep up the “Good Knee.” Jan Richman Schulman Oxnard

Spencer Noren for District 4 In November, I’m voting for candidate Spencer Noren. It’s time for a change. I don’t want to be represented by a slick politician like Nasarenko! We need a voice for the people in East Ventura and I believe Spencer is the best man for the job.

An animated Kevin de León at the VCReporter office.

The real Kevin de León Candidate for the U.S. Senate talks politics and the future

by Michael Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com fter the election of Donald Trump, it was clear to many in the country that it was time for a change and certainly that times were changing. Fed up with the status quo, newcomers to politics as well as seasoned veterans in the field have sought higher office by taking on longtime incumbents. Kevin de León who was elected to State Assembly and then the State Senate for a combined 12 years, is one of those challengers, pitting himself against U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has held the office since 1992. The youngest child of a Latino immigrant, De León is primed with passion for immigrant rights and more. After a visit to Rio Plaza Elementary School in Oxnard on Sept. 24, De León stopped by the VCReporter for an impromptu discussion about all things politics. For anunabbreviated interview, go to www.vcreporter.com.

VCReporter: There are a lot of normal Democratic issues, which include free education, Medicare, health care for everyone. Many people believe there isn’t funding for them and bipartisanship won’t happen in Congress. What would you do differently? Kevin De León: Let me say this, I spent the vast majority of my childhood without health care. And health care is a huge issue for all Americans regardless of where you are politically on the spectrum. Today, in America, we spend $3.3 trillion on health care. It is both public as well as private, whether it s HMOs or PPOs, whether it s public, county general public hospitals as well as community, we spend about $3.3 trillion on health care. It is estimated at $3 trillion on expanding Medicare, not for some, but Medicare for all. If you don t believe me, ask the Koch Brothers. The Koch Brothers initiated this study; they wanted a very clear outcome, but per their methodology, it came out clear, it would be $3 trillion a year as opposed to the current system, $3.3 [trillion].

Any way California can break away and test this model and prove concept? I think that the current political climate, it’s a little challenging. Medicare for all is best under a federal framework.

— October 11, 2018

‘‘

I am not an orthodox, restrictive individual that there only has to be one set of ideas.

The reason I say this is because you need exemptions, waivers from the federal government. With the current administration, obviously, that would be very difficult. If you had a Democratic administration, and wanted to do a sort of a test-model state to see if it in fact does work, you could, in fact, secure exemptions and waivers that are needed as well as subsidies that are needed. Perhaps you could do that, but not under the current administration, but this is best under a federal framework. How you engage Republicans is that health care is health care. Again, it doesn’t make a difference who you are and where you come from, you shouldn’t politicize this. It shouldn’t [be an] ideologically driven issue because when you break a leg or have a tumor and it’s metastasizing, the tumor doesn’t care if you are a Republican or a Democrat. It’s your health, especially if you are the head of household, if you are a mother, or single mother, or head of household, you are bread winner of the house; it impacts the whole family. So that’s why we have to deal with this issue of health care for all.

You would be taking over Dianne Feinstein’s seat, but she has decades of experience, she has seniority. How would you overcome those sorts of assets?

That’s a good question. I would say that seniority means nothing if you don’t use your seniority. That’s the classic narrative of Washington is that built-up seniority over a course of many many decades, positions certain individuals to do well but the reality is this, we have witness certain hearings of Brett Kavanaugh, much younger senators in terms of seniority, … Cory Booker, Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut, Kamala Harris, provided much more energy, much more pointed questions. They are not senior members. Whether people agree or not, Elizabeth Warren has clearly elevated key issues to a national level; she has no seniority. Seniority means nothing if you don’t use it. I think that was displayed clearly through the hearings of Brett Kanavaugh.

The issue of gun control many of us are concerned about, but there is the gun rights aspect. Why

aren’t things being done now in the way you feel they should be addressed? Let me say, we have to do something about this because of the way our children are dying. I thought that Sandy Hook, Connecticut, would be that watershed moment when Americans would come together regardless if you were Republican or Democrat, that we would come together as a nation and finally do something about gun safety, gun ammunition safety. That wasn’t the case. … Because of the inaction in Washington, because of the lack of leadership, for example, on ghost guns, I’ve been tough on ghost guns way before the mainstream media that just recently started reporting on the issue of ghost guns through the manufacturing of ghost guns through 3-D printers as well as ordering parts online, having them delivered, which was legal, no longer legal now in California.

What are your thoughts on immigration reform? The issue of immigration is something that is deeply personal to me, being the youngest child of a single immigrant mother with a third-grade education. And this is a sad reality; immigration reform has failed in Washington, D.C., because of the lack of [action] in Washington. And because lack of [action] from our leaders in Washington, D.C. I’ve had to act in California on the issue of sanctuary state. I am the author of sanctuary state. On the issue of driver’s license, I negotiated a deal with the driver’s licenses with the governor, Jerry Brown. I also committed roughly about $40 million for naturalization to encourage folks to become U.S. citizens, or legal permanent residents. Also, too, allocated money for dreamers who are under the threat of being detained and eventually deported by this administration. And ICE, by the way, was created by the vote of the senior senator, Dianne Feinstein back in 2002, the National Security Act. A part of it was a creation of ICE. And ICE is a police agency that has strayed greatly from their original mission to deal with, it was created in the wake of 9/11 to deal with terrorism,

In Brief VENTURA HIRES NEW CITY MANAGER

Ventura has a new city manager after a 7-0 City Council vote on Monday night, Oct. 8. Alex McIntyre, formerly the city of Menlo Park’s city manager, will step into the role left empty for several months following the departure of Mark Watkins. McIntyre will receive a base salary of $255,000 plus $10,000 to help him relocate. On top of that, McIntyre will receive a $500 monthly vehicle stipend, plus medical insurance, pension contributions and $1,000 in deferred retirement. With 33 years’ experience under his belt, the City Council noted that McIntyre will help the city through fire recovery and provide leadership lacking since Watkins’ retirement.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE AVERAGE IN VENTURA COUNTY

Ventura County students, rejoice: You’re no better or worse than the year before according to results of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress test and data released by the California Department of Education. The percentage of students who met or exceeded state standards in English language arts and math remained unchanged from 2017 to 2018, at 49 percent and 38 percent, respectively. The Ventura County Office of Education notes that it’s exceptional, considering that students lost 17 days due to the Thomas Fire and Montecito mudslides in December without falling behind.

The California Air Resources Board has awarded $3 million to the Port of Hueneme to fund its ship-to- shore zero emission energy project, which will support green infrastructure and equipment to be used in the port. The grant, received in collaboration with the Port of Los Angeles, comes by way of the Zero and Near-Zero Emission Freight Facilities (ZANZEFF) Grant, which is funded by state Cap and Trade dollars. “This type of funding allows our ports to continue to lead the world in reducing emissions and implementing green initiatives,” said Mary Anne Rooney, President of the Oxnard Harbor District. “The projects funded by this grant will lay the foundation for the next phase of green infrastructure and equipment at the port, which will support electric cranes, electric cargo handling equipment and a hydrogen-fuel-cell truck dedicated to moving our customers’ fresh produce to the market place,” said Kristin Decas, CEO and Port Director.

COUNTY INMATE CHARGED IN DEATH OF PEER

A Ventura County resident has now also been charged with murder after an incident that led to the death of a fellow inmate. Daniel Louis Fuller, 34, allegedly beat Jeffrey Kibler, 53, to death at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility in Ventura, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. The Ventura County coroner determined that Kibler died of “blunt force trauma” and ruled his death a homicide. Fuller entered a not-guilty plea and is currently being held on $2 million bail, with an early disposition conference scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 25.

CSUCI, BECOMES BEE CAMPUS USA

Move over, human students, and make way for your new peers: bees. “The program aspires to make people more PC, pollinator conscious, that is,” said Scott Hoffman Black, Director of Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. “If lots of individuals and communities begin planting native, pesticide-free flowering trees, shrubs and perennials, it will help to sustain many, many species of pollinators.” California State University, Channel Islands, becomes the first fouryear university in California to be named a Bee Campus USA, after Sustainability and Operations Analyst Coleen Barsley and her student assistant, biology major Jazmin Horvet, began developing pollinator education for students and by arranging for the planting of native plants on the university campus to attract pollinators — bees, butterflies and much more. The university also has its own apiary, installed in 2017. “I think we can be a leader in the academic world as an institution bringing the plight of the pollinators to students and the public,” said associate professor of biology Ruben Alarcón, Ph.D. — Chris O’Neal

Fundraisers for Kirra Drury and Raegan Heitzig Oct. 13,14 by Kateri Wozny

roceeds from two fundraisers this weekend, Oct. 13, 14, will help the families of two women who were involved in a boating accident on the Arizona/ California border of the Colorado River over Labor Day Weekend. Both Ventura residents, Kirra Drury, 23, was found deceased shortly after the accident while Raegan Heitzig, 26, went missing. The search for Heitzig is ongoing, as of Oct. 10 at noon. The first fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 13, at Social Tap will benefit the family of Heitzig, a server who worked at Social Tap for three years. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “She was always happy, positive and radiant,” said Gracie DeCola, manager of Social Tap. “Customers always wanted to sit in her section and came to see her.” The fundraiser will include a car wash with a beer and burger special for $50, a bake sale collaboration with friends and family, a T-shirt sale with an image of Raegan and her saying, Think Beautiful Thoughts, a silent auction and 50/50 auction with donations from local businesses. “The fundraiser allows us to have some healing and move forward with what Raegan would approve of, and allow us to give back to Raegan’s family,” said James Manar, general manager of Social Tap. At the Social Tap hostess stand, a jar also holds monetary donations for the Heitzig family, while a framed photo with a box next to it holds green ribbons to wear to support and honor Heitzig. Green also represents the color of Heitzig’s hair. In previous weeks, more than $2,000 has been raised among the green ribbon fund, clothing fundraisers from One of a KND and Happymess Denim and sale proceeds from local business Performance Exhaust. Heitzig’s sister, Jordan Heitzig, who also works at Social Tap, remembers her sister as a kindhearted person. “Thank you for loving me unconditionally and showing me the meaning of kindness,” she said in an Instagram post.

The Heitzig family is also currently working with local nonprofit RAKlife to establish a foundation in Heitzig’s honor called The Rae of Light Foundation, a nonprofit that would help children in rural areas with counseling, medical care, food and clothing. According to the RAKlife website, Heitzig graduated from Cal State University, Channel Islands, with a degree in psychology and aspired to become a teacher. “She definitely liked to give back and help children,” DeCola said. “Raegan was one of the most loving persons.” On Sunday, Oct. 14, The Tavern will host the “Sunday’s for the Girls” fundraiser to help benefit both the Drury and Heitzig families. Drury worked as a bartender at The Tavern for a year. “She [Drury] was the first person I hired when I was a general manager,” said Ryan Underlin, fundraiser organizer. “I went up to her and told her she had the right mentality to work here as a bartender. She told me she had no bartending experience and I said, I don’t care. She was a hard worker and always had the most regulars out of all the bartenders.” The fundraiser will run from noon to 5 p.m. and will include a requested $20 entrance donation that will go through RAKlife. Attendees can enjoy more than 20 breweries from San Diego to Oregon, win raffle ticket prizes and participate in a silent auction. A preview of the prizes will be posted to The Tavern’s Instagram page prior to the event. Underlin said that the last time he saw Drury and Heitzig was a couple of months before the accident, when they went to Solimar Beach to relax and have fun. “This is a celebration of these two girls and the life that they lived,” Underlin said. Underlin said he will remember Drury as energetic, selfconfident and lovable. “The girl literally did what she wanted and was respectable,” Underlin said. “She lived her life to the fullest.” Social Tap is located at 1105 S. Seaward Ave. and The Tavern is located at 311 E. Santa Clara St. For more information, call Social Tap at 667-8485 or visit www.socialtapeatery. com/ventura-location/ and The Tavern at 643-3264 or visit www.thetavernvta.com. ✦

Covering costs

Oxnard trustee challenges $1.6 million expenditure by David Michael Courtland pariah42@yahoo.com

One of Oxnard School District’s trustees is loudly protesting a $1.6 million charge for improving a sewer line that services Elm Street School, arguing that the cost of the project should be paid for by the city of Oxnard, not the school district. Denis O’Leary has twice cast the only vote against spending OSD money for the underground utility work, $800,022 on June 6 and $886,870 on Sept. 16. Both times the OSD school board voted 4-1 to pay for improving the sewer line.

“I wanted to go to the city and see if they’d be openminded,” said O’Leary. “There weren’t too many questions asked by the other trustees.” O’Leary says he agrees that the district should be responsible for hooking the school up to the pipeline, but not the homes along the next two to three blocks that will also be serviced by it. “It’s not the school district that is going to be charging them, it’s the city,” said O’Leary. But he acknowledged that the city of Oxnard would

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER A voter’s guide to what exactly it is you’re voting on BY CHRIS O'NEAL | CHRIS@VCREPORTER.COM

he Conejo Valley Unified School District has made local and statewide headlines lately for its contentious board of trustee meetings. On topics ranging from whether or not to include LGBTQ coursework in the curriculum to disallowing (or making it difficult to choose) controversial novels for discourse, the board seems to have caught the attention of residents who otherwise may not have bothered to wade into the inner workings of their local school system’s governance. You may not be within the jurisdiction of the

STATE SEATS U.S. SENATE Term: Six years Senators who seemingly spend most of their time in Washington, D.C., can assist you on a more personal level in dealing with federal agencies through their various staffers. For instance: issues arising in dealing with Social Security, immigration status or veteran benefits can potentially be handled through your senator’s office. A senator can also assist in setting up tours of the White House, U.S. Capitol or House or Senate and can scribe letters recognizing achievements. Ultimately, your senator may be your most powerful helping hand at the federal level. U.S. HOUSE Term: Two years As if 2018’s spitfire political battles in Washington, D.C., weren’t enough evidence that the House of Representatives is where the magic happens, consider this: While representatives are battling it out on CSPAN, their offices are sorting through constituent requests ranging in matter from approving grants to checking up on immigration and citizenship applications. Your representative is much like your U.S. senator in that regard. Through his or her office, your representative is your local voice in Washington. On top of that, a representative writes bills and laws to be voted on and sits on House committees. The state of California has 53 representatives in the House and, unlike the Senate, representatives are tuned in to their local communities. Most of Ventura County rests in the 26th Congressional District, with a small portion in the 25th. Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Thousand Oaks, procured $1.5 million for a Port of Hueneme infrastructure project in May and toured a local manufacturer in September. CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY Term: Two years (up to six consecutive terms) Assemblymembers are similar to U.S. 8— — October 11, 2018

CVUSD — but you certainly live within the jurisdiction of your own school board, or sanitation district, or parks and recreation district, and the list goes on. On Nov. 6, your ballot will be personalized to your location and upon it will be a multitude of elected positions that control your day-to-day life, from your city council to garbage collection. This guide is meant to shed some light on these oft unspoken-of ballot items, from what they are responsible for to what they do, and how long a term in said position is.

representatives in that they are responsible for authoring laws, sitting on committees and other tasks. The main difference is that they deal solely with state-related matters and originate from certain districts. California Assembly districts 37 and 44 split Ventura County. Your elected assemblymembers can assist you in dealing with state-related matters such as handling Covered California issues, veterans services and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) matters. Note: State senators will be up for election in 2020.

JUDICIAL

SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA Term: 12 years The Supreme Court of California has the final say-so in all legal matters within the state. Associate justices, who work within a particular county’s Superior Court, are elected to 12-year terms via a system of “retention,” meaning whether or not to retain the judge, who is initially appointed by the thencurrent California governor. From criminal to civil, judges hear it all, depending on the case, but the California Supreme Court’s decisions are binding over all lower state courts. Superior Court judges can occasionally face opponents at the times of their “retention” elections. This year, two Justices are up for retention votes: Justice Carol Corrigan, who was appointed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2005, and Justice Leondra Kruger, who was appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2014. COURT OF APPEAL Term: 12 years Should either party involved in a legal battle choose, either can file an appeal after a Superior Court judge has made a ruling, which then would be considered by the California Courts of Appeal. The appellate courts consist of six districts, and Ventura County falls into the second. The same system of retention vote occurs here – with the incumbent facing no opponent but rather a vote to

retain the judge or not. Judges are appointed by the governor.

CITY CITY COUNCIL Term: Varies by city. Depending on which city within the county you reside in, your city council can look very different from your neighbor’s. That’s because the councils all fall under various stipulations for their makeup. Check your local city clerk’s website for more information. A city council has more effect on your personal life than would a state representative in that a councilmember votes on matters related to specifics of the city. The council considers contracts for public works projects, adopts ordinances regarding everything from homelessness to fireworks, and can hear grievances and act on your behalf to handle matters at the city level, such as home additions or complaints. Starting this year, district-based elections have come to Ventura and Oxnard after threat of a lawsuit forced the council’s hand. Several candidate forums have been (and will be) hosted this month and in the coming weeks. Check your particular ballot and local calendar for more information.

SCHOOLS COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION Term: Four years The County Board of Education provides educational support to county school districts. The five-member board, with three seats up for election in 2018, works alongside the county superintendent of schools to adopt an annual budget, conduct appeals on student expulsions and more. COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT Term: Four years The five-member VCCCD Board handles

matters related to Ventura College, Oxnard College and Moorpark College. The District handles matters relating to all manner of policies relating to the colleges, and the chancellor is responsible for seeing that policies approved by the board are carried out. View decisions of the trustees at www.vcccd.edu/board-of-trustees/resolutions. At a candidate forum held in September, candidates discussed campus safety in the wake of high-profile shootings and becoming more involved with the communities surrounding the three campuses.

ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICTS Term: Four years The various school districts throughout the county handle matters associated with kindergarten through 12th grade. Districts handle the ins and outs of schools within their jurisdiction, from counseling to lunch services. Members of the governing board are elected and approve budgets, amend and create policies, and assist parents and students with questions and concerns. UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Term: Four years In spite of what the Board of Trustees of the Conejo Valley Unified School District may have taught you, board members are responsible for far more than banning books and infighting. Governing boards hear from the community regarding various issues, approve instructional material and handle district employee matters. In May, the Ojai Unified School District voted to move its sixth-grade students to Matilija Junior High School, where they will join seventh- and eighth-grade students in an effort to better manage the requirements of Common Core curriculum.

SPECIAL DISTRICTS ADVISORY COUNCIL DISTRICT Term: Four years Municipal Advisory Councils, of which there are four (Oak Park, Somis, Santa Rosa Valley and Casa Conejo), advise on planning, public works, health and safety, and welfare matters for their particular areas of unincorporated Ventura County. These councils report to the County Planning Director and Board of Supervisors. The particular county supervisor or planning director for the district in which the council resides has oversight of these councils. These councils oversee permits for oversized vehicles, zoning and more. For instance, in August, the Ojai Valley Municipal Advisory Council reviewed a development permit for a proposed restaurant and retail business in Meiners Oaks. COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT Terms: vary These districts handle various tasks such as garbage collection, sanitation and water distribution, as well as street maintenance and repair. Each district has a five-member board of directors, elected at large from residents within the community. The Camarillo Health Care District maintains community health and wellness programs. A board of directors manages budgeting and programming for the district. The Channel Islands Beach Community Services District, one of several with board members up for election this year, is responsible for having approved so-called “smart” water meters to be installed this fall. DRAINAGE DISTRICT Term: Four years Oxnard’s Drainage District is the oldest special district in the county, with two districts formed in 1918 and 1926. Districts 1 and 2 both have threemember governing boards. Both districts’ purpose is to maintain drainage systems for use in Oxnard’s agricultural fields and to conduct service reviews to assure that systems are in operating order. LIBRARY DISTRICT Term: Four years It’s in the name with the Library District. The Board of Trustees enacts policy relating to the Blanchard Community Library District in Santa Paula. RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT Term: Four years The boards of directors for the various park districts throughout the county handle maintenance, programs and events in public parks and community properties such as pools, historic sites such as McCrea Ranch, and performing arts centers. They also issue permits for special uses, such as filming or park reservations. The Conejo Valley Parks and Recreation Department’s $7.5 million project, Thousand Oaks’ Sapwi Trails Park, officially opened in September. It, along with five other so-called community parks, is just one project that the District is responsible for. Similarly, the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District and the Rancho Simi Recre-

ation and Park District reviews and spearheads such projects. SANITARY DISTRICT Term: Four years Again, the name says it all. Sanitary District Board of Directors makes policy regarding wastewater collection, sewage treatment and green initiatives such as composting and water quality. The Triunfo Sanitation District, serving more than 30,000 in Westlake Village and Oak Park as well as parts of Los Angeles County, raised water rates for its customers by 2.5 percent this year. The district operates under the Ventura County Regional Sanitation District and consists of a five-member board, three of whom are up for election this year as they contend with Regional over higher fees, which could lead to yet another rate increase. OXNARD HARBOR DISTRICT Term: Four years Operations at the Port of Hueneme are controlled by the Harbor District, which is run by a five-member Board of Harbor Commissioners. The commissioners set policy for the district, apply for grants and hear communications from area residents. Oxnard Harbor District recently acquired a $3 million grant for use toward zero-emission and green energy projects at the Port of Hueneme. FILLMORE-PIRU MEMORIAL DISTRICT Term: Four years This district commemorates veterans living in the Fillmore-Piru area and maintains the Veterans Memorial Building in Fillmore. WATER DISTRICTS Term: Four years Turn on the faucet in your home and you’ll have your particular water district to thank for its functional operation. From source to sink, the various boards tasked with maintaining the county’s water supplies have a tough job in an increasingly dry environment. From environmental protections to conservation, the district is required by law to carry out natural resource management programs, not limited to water, contrary to the name. Districts can advise landowners on the best use of natural resources and lead projects on creek restoration, fish passages and fire prevention education. The United Water Conservation District recently lost in court when a federal court judge ruled that the District failed to protect endangered steelhead trout in the Santa Clara River, violating the Endangered Species Act. The Wishtoyo Foundation filed the lawsuit on the matter in 2016. United was given until 2020 to work with the National Marine Fisheries Service in designing and constructing a replacement for its current fish ladder at the Vern Freeman Dam. Three District board seats are up for election this year, for Divisions 1, 2 and 3. The District also organizes efforts to battle the invasive quagga mussel and manages the Lake Piru Recreation Area.

KEVIN Continued from Page 6 to deal with drug traffickers, human traffickers, gun-running traffickers, to deal with international cartels, TCOs (transcontinental organizations), to deal with pedophiles, cybersex. But now to deal with violent criminal felons. To me it doesn’t make a difference if you are from Ireland or from China or elsewhere, but they focus on hardworking families, dreamers, people who sell tamales, oranges, who are trying to make ends meet. You have a wayward agency that’s out of control, that’s been weaponized and politicized by [a] White House that is using it for their own electoral objectives by dividing the community.

The Democratic Party is at a kind of a cross roads. You’ve got your traditionalists in the Dianne Feinsteins, you’ve got people like you that are progressive, and then you have the democratic socialists, their visibility becoming more prominent. How does all that work to try to unify when you’ve got these different directions? I think the more ideas, I think the more policy ideas we have within the party and different ways of thinking, I actually think the better. I am not an orthodox, restrictive individual that there only has to be one set of ideas. I think that some folks maybe find it a little messier; I actually don’t find it messier. I like to sit with folks more to the right, you know, left of center, socialists — that’s much more to the left — and sit down and engage in different policy issues. So to me, it’s not about going more to the left or going more to the right, being conservative or liberal. To me it’s about doing what’s right for Americans, clean air, clean water, health care for all, sensible immigration reform, elevating our economy so we can have high-wage-paying jobs as opposed to struggling with two or three jobs to make ends meet without any health-care benefits, without any defined contribution plan at your place of employment. So to me, it’s not about being more liberal or more conservative, it’s about doing what’s right. And I think that, to date, I have been successful in moving policies using political capital, using that political capital to leverage and moving the policies that I think are right, even though it may be controversial, that I think are

OXNARD Continued from Page 7 probably litigate any attempt to get it to pay for the project, delaying it for years. “We can’t open the school without this, and it’s possible the city will just delay this as long as they can to save their budget,” O’Leary said. The sewer line’s pipe diameter will go from 8 to 10 or 12 inches, with lift stations added to push sewage up a slope. A storm drain will also be made larger to comply with Oxnard’s sewer system rules. Maintaining the sewer line, with one section on Iris Street and another on Marino Street, becomes the city’s responsibility after the improvements are made. City Councilmember Bryan MacDonald said that the cost is OSD’s responsibility because it’s part of a school district project, an expansion of Elm Street School. MacDonald said that, typically, when a parcel is developed, the cost is paid by the owner, in this case OSD. “It’s because of their project that it has to be enlarged,” MacDonald said, to meet the increased demand on the sewer line after the school is expanded. But Francine Castanon, who is running for City Council District 6, was less certain that the city

right for all Californians and that would be good for all America.

How do you feel about campaign finance reform? Because literally, so many elections are bought. I support it. I have always supported it, I always voted for campaign finance reform.

What can we do to actually get that moving?

We need a Democrat. We have millions of dollars being spent out of the pocket of a multibillionaire who is a senior senator incumbent in California. I agree with you, elections should not be bought. These are not coronations. These are elections. It’s a part of the democratic process. We need a Democrat in the White House. We need to overturn Citizens United. We have no other choice. We have to work toward taking back the House and the U.S. Senate and working feverishly to get a Democratic president in the White House. Ultimately it relies on Citizens United. With that being said, there are many local municipalities as well as state governments that can move towards campaign finance reform. I wrote the language, I am not the author, but I wrote the language with regards to a disclose act on ballot initiatives that you had to, in a transparent way, name the top three contributors so you wouldn’t have dark money coming in and influencing the ballot initiative process, which is a bastion for very wealthy individuals who want to circumvent the legislative process.

Any Republicans you could see yourself working with in the future? Let me take that a step further, there is a lot of Republicans that I have worked with. In fact there are a lot of Republicans in the [state] senate and Assembly who actually voted for me for U.S. Senate. They sent me texts and showed me pictures that “I voted for you.” And I know why they voted for me. Because although we may be from different parties, although we may have different outlooks and perspectives, I have never denigrated them, I’ve never humiliated them, I’ve always treated them with respect. I may not have voted for their measures, and some measures I may have voted for; I helped them when they needed my help, and I had to secure Republican votes for cap and trade, I needed republican votes for SB1, also known as the gas tax, which they are trying to repeal right now through prop 6. I needed republican votes so I needed to sit down and negotiate with them. I have a track record of bipartisanship. F shouldn’t be paying the cost because the city’s outdated maps don’t make it clear who has responsibility. “I have a map from the ’50s that shows it as a city line, but who knows what deals have been made since that map?” said Castanon. “I don’t believe the school should have to pay all that money until we know exactly who owns what.” OSD Superintendent Dr. Cesar Morales said that it was appropriate for the school district to pick up the cost because it is part of a larger plan to improve several existing campuses and build two new ones. Voters passed bond measures in 2012 and 2016 to pay for new construction. Improvements to Harrington Elementary School have already been made and more are planned for McKenna Elementary and Lemonwood Middle schools. Much of the improvement is replacing old, temporary structures with new, permanent ones, said Morales. He said that another reason for the upgrades is to ease overcrowding on some campuses. There are also plans for two new schools, one in the Seabridge neighborhood near the housing development next to the shopping center at Victoria Avenue and Wooley Road, and another on a parcel that the district recently purchased near Patterson and Doris streets. “We have to make an investment not just in the school district, but the community,” said Morales.

One woman, many roles: Actress Lily Tomlin to perform in Thousand Oaks by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

ctress, comedian and entertainer Lily Tomlin is coming to the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Friday, and she’s bringing some friends with her. They’re familiar to many of us: telephone operator Ernestine (“One ringy-dingy . . . two ringy-dingy”), precocious 5-year-old Edith Ann, arbiter of good taste Mrs. Earbore and more. They’re all creations of the star herself, who has made a career — at least in part — out of lampooning the fashions and foibles of broad culture while occasionally dispensing wisdom through her many caricatures. “I use video in the show to make fun of myself and bring the characters up to date,” says the talented Tomlin, who, at 79 years of age, shows no sign of slowing down as a performer. “There will be 10-12 characters. I hope it has a cohesiveness and will also be surprising. I hope [the audience] won’t have expectations, and I hope it surprises them.” “I knew all these characters.” They’re funny and over-the-top, but her characters are both relatable and recognizable. So it’s no surprise to learn that most

were drawn at least in part from real life. “I knew all these characters,” she explains during a phone interview the day after the 2018 Emmy Awards. “I was around all of them and just illustrated their lives.” Tomlin was born in 1939 to parents that she describes as “blue-collar Southerners,” Southern Baptists from Kentucky who moved to Michigan during the Great Depression in search of work. When the family returned to the South to visit, “I saw that all of my relatives in Kentucky were far behind Detroit. What they did, what they said to black people . . . and I was appalled even as a kid.” By contrast, Tomlin herself fully embraced her diverse community. “I grew up in Detroit in a black neighborhood,” Tomlin recalls. “I thought I lived in the greatest neighborhood in the world. There were 40 apartments in our building, and I would visit every one. And I would play the room.” In these early experiences, one can see both Tomlin the entertainer and Tomlin the character-builder come into her own. Some of the friends she made would find their way onto the stage and screen. One in particular, Mrs. Rupert, looms large. A botanist with a heightened sense of decorum, she saw potential in the young Tomlin, and took a special interest in her. “She invited me to her house. I’d walk her chihuahuas and we’d

What a character!

listen to the radio and read The New York Times. Sometimes we had tea with petit fours.” Part of the education Mrs. Rupert wanted to impart to Tomlin included teaching her how to be “a lady.” The two would visit Hudson’s department store in downtown Detroit on the weekends, where Mrs. Rupert insisted that her young charge wear a hat and gloves, and carry a pocketbook. “It just delighted me,” Tomlin says. “I thought it was all very funny.” “If we went outside and it was cold, we’d go into an empty doorway to blow our noses, so we’d have complete composure,” she recalls vividly, chuckling. Is it any wonder that Mrs. Rupert was the model upon which the prudish Mrs. Earbore, “The Tasteful Lady” who could give Miss Manners a run for her money, was based?

LAUGH-IN AND BEYOND

Many of Tomlin’s best-loved characters — including Mrs. Earbore — stem from her days on Rowan and Martin’s LaughIn, which she joined in 1969. Her four-year stint on the sketch comedy show made her a star, and in the following decades, she has inhabited a number of roles — on stage, screen and television — that have brought her both critical and popular acclaim. Tomlin started out strong right out of the gate, with her dramatic turn as gospel singer Linnea in Robert Altman’s Nashville — a role for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. (She has worked with Altman in numerous films since.) In addition, her comedic chops have been put to good use in such movies as The Incredible Shrinking Woman, All of Me (alongside Steve Martin), Big Business (with Bette Midler) and

OPENLY HERSELF

She may not have won an Emmy with Frankie, but she has six others — mostly for comedy and variety shows, although she did pick up one in 2013 for her narration work on the documentary An Apology to Elephants written by her longtime partner, Jane Wagner. Tomlin met the writer in 1971 and the two have been together ever since. It’s fascinating to hear Tomlin talk about her relationship with Wagner (whom she married in 2013) during a time when homosexuality was criminal at worst, and considered a sickness at best. Tomlin’s mother, a Southern Baptist to the core, “endured it,” the actress says. But as the older generation of her Kentucky family passed away, she found that her nextgeneration cousins “were much more tolerant. Some are even embracing us.” In Hollywood, Tomlin and Wagner were “pretty open” about their relationship from the start, but Tomlin never came out in a traditional sense. And the PR machine somehow just . . . glossed over it. “In public, people never talked about it,” she recalls. “I never made a big secret of it. It’s just how you got along. . . . I never would have lied — it’s just too horrible. . . . But if you had told me in 1970 that the gay community could have the progress [we see today], I would have been flabbergasted.” While serving as something of a figurehead for lesbians in the entertainment industry, Tomlin has also added her name and fame to other causes as well. Most recently, she has worked with Fonda on One Fair Wage, which seeks to raise the minimum wage for tipped restaurant workers. “There are 13 million tipped workers in the country,” she says. “70 percent are women — even 80 percent in some states. Many of them are living below the poverty line . . . because they’re living on a minimum wage of $2-3 an hour.”

THE ELUSIVE EGOT

Wagner and Tomlin have collaborated on other projects besides An Apology to Elephants. The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, the one-woman stage show that Wagner wrote and Tomlin performed on Broadway in 1985, earned Tomlin a Tony Award. And having gotten a Grammy in 1972 (for her comedy album This Is a Recording), she’s three out of four for that esteemed EGOT designation, for those who have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards. “I think they should include the Peabody — I’ve got two of those!” Tomlin says with a laugh. Just last year she was honored with the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award. So EGOT or not, Tomlin can’t deny that her career, which continues to grow and evolve, even as she edges up through to her eighth decade, is one any actor would envy. And with other projects in the works, perhaps that Academy Award will come along after all. “If you stick around long enough, you’ll get everything eventually,” Tomlin says.

Flirting With Disaster. But it was her portrayal of office supervisor Violet Newstead in 9 to 5 that helped make Tomlin a film icon. The 1980 film — which also starred Jane Fonda (who has remained a dear friend) and Dolly Parton — centered on three employees of the fictional Consolidated Companies who exact revenge on their sexually harassing, incompetent boss and take over the company. It was both an homage to and a revenge fantasy for women workers everywhere. Decades later, the movie’s themes continue to resonate, and a reboot is currently in the making. “It’s being written,” Tomlin confirms. “We’re waiting for the draft. Jane Fonda is an executive producer. I’m not signed on as an executive producer, but I have input. . . . We really are excited to do it.” When asked if she’s discouraged that a film such as 9 to 5 can still feel relevant today, the actress says, “Nothing ever changes fast enough. And then you come to terms with that. We certainly don’t have equal pay. There have been incremental improvements . . . but there’s still stuff to do.” And reflecting on the #MeToo Movement, she adds that “Who knows what part 9 to 5 played in that.” While 9 to 5 is in the works, Tomlin is kept busy with her co-starring role as free-spirited artist Frankie Bergstein in the television series Grace and Frankie. She’s been nominated for an Emmy every year since the series debuted in 2015, although she has never won. And she inhabits Frankie so naturally that one can’t help but wonder what parallels there are between the actress and her part. But with a character builder as savvy as Tomlin, it’s best not to make such assumptions. “I think, whatever you play, some part of you is going to be in there,” Tomlin says. “But really, it’s having a sense of humor, using how you feel about life. I have everything [for Frankie] on the page. That translates through your process and your person. Frankie has a lot going for her: a product of a commune, she lived a free and fanciful life, she’s a painter. . . . I understand who Frankie is, to some degree, but of course [the writers] give me a lot of stuff to work with.”

Have a little faith Prayer wall in Downtown Ventura moves to Santa Barbara by Michel Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

housands of prayers cover the corner of Heaven’s Gallery, an angel store on Main Street in Downtown Ventura. The prayers span onto adjacent walls and over a doorway. They hang lightly disrupted by the wind of the fans above but serene, as harp and flute music plays in the background. They can be found among angel paintings and behind shelves, and on a painting of the Virgin Mary. There are so many that there are multiple layers with prayers taped to other prayers. Most are in English but others are written in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Farsi, Arabic and Tagalog. These notes to the divine are quiet thoughts in ink and lead on post-it notes of all colors, seeking guidance, answers and hope in a world that too often leaves people questioning faith and God. Faith, however, can be renewed as there are many who return to leave more prayers and express gratitude after getting answers: becoming pregnant after months of failed attempts, receiving a kidney transplant after many years on dialysis, coming out of a coma after six months, renewed relationships, financial security and more. Just ask the owners, Keith and Francesca Richardson, for the journals titled Miracles documenting the answers to prayers. “You always figure you can fix something, but when you write it, you let it go and let God,” Francesca said. When the Richardsons decided to close the shop after a rent increase was on the way, they went in search of a home for the prayers. At the funeral of an angel artist many years ago, the Richardsons met the pastor of a church in Santa Barbara who has now

agreed to give the prayers a new secure place to call home, where others can read and add to them. The prayers depart the store between 4 and 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 15. The store closes for good on Oct. 21. Unfortunately, there were no takers locally who would keep the prayers public. “I think all of us are in divine order, and I think a lot of people are looking for love, and maybe they feel like this is a place where they won’t be judged and only loved, and that’s what God is,” Francesca said. The prayer wall was conceived the day that Aquariana Paul, a customer over 24 years ago when the store first opened, asked to leave a prayer about her cancer diagnosis. While the Richardsons told her that they felt the San Buenaventura Mission would be a better place, Paul insisted that she leave her prayer at the store on a modest bookshelf with nothing more than pictures and a few angels. Paul died two years later but her faith in the store proliferated into a place of hope for thousands of others. “It was amazing, something we didn’t expect that started with one little prayer,” Keith said. “It was on the only display in the store and we thought it would be in the way of being able to sell things on there.” But they knew Paul and obliged her request. Twenty-four years later, the store is closing but the prayers have found a new home for others to seek heavenly resolve. “We are sad to see them going but we are really happy about where they are going, a denomination that accepts all faiths,” Keith said. F The prayers will be housed at Center of the Heart at 487 N. Turnpike Road, Santa Barbara. Visitors can post their prayers at the church from 2:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, call 805-964-4861.

Everlasting Doom

Darkness descends on Ventura when Doom and Phobia come to The Garage

by Emily Savage

emilyannesavage@gmail.com

hat’s a certain strain of loud and fast music — call it hardcore, grindcore, crust punk or the like —that will always owe a bit of gratitude to late 1980s-born U.K. band Doom. The band’s doomy, black-hearted, crustpunk and metal blend of music on albums like War Crimes (1988, Peaceville Records), along with its death metal-style logo and skull-withgasmask iconography has influenced countless bands, yet drummer Tony “Stick” Dickens says that they don’t take any of it too seriously. “I still laugh to myself that it’s happening, so no,” Dickens says when I ask if he expected Doom to be so iconic some 30 years later. “One of my fave songs is one we wrote in the firstever practice we had — “A Dream to Come True” — and we still play it.” Dickens joined Doom shortly after it began after “drunkenly hassling” founding guitarist and vocalist Brian “Bri Doom” Talbot in 1987 at the infamous Mermaid Pub in Birmingham, England, until Talbot agreed to let Dickens

drum. Over the decades the group has been through a few lineup changes and suffered the tragic loss of one-time vocalist Wayne Southworth in 2005, but is currently rounded out by longtime members Denis Boardman (guitar) and Scoot (bass). “Our sound has changed over the years, or rather we’ve honed it, slightly different tuning. [But] I can’t say we’ve particularly progressed musically. We got it right the first time. . . . People expect Doom to be Doom, so if we get the urge to do other stuff, we do it outside the band,” says Dickens. As for the lasting influence of the band, that has surprised him as well: “I used to get a lot of fanzines saying ‘for the fans of Doom, you’ll love this’-type thing and I used to buy it and think, ‘Really?’ Thing is, I don’t really see our influence in the music, more in the artwork, but I’m probably too close to see it.” One such band that could be considered a spiritual younger sibling to Doom — though with its own unique stamp on the genre — is grindcore act Phobia. While Phobia first got together in the ’90s in Orange County, frontman Shane Mclachlan now resides in Tempe, Arizona, with his 7-year-old child.

The two bands — Doom and Phobia — will come together for a show in Ventura at The Garage on Saturday, Oct. 13. They’ve played together before in Toluca, Mexico, at the Obscene Extreme Fest, but this will be Phobia’s first performance in Ventura. “We tried to play Ventura [once] but cops came and broke it up before it even started,” Mclachlan says. “This was years ago.” One of Phobia’s first records, Means of Existence (1998, Slap a Ham), covered the desecrated American dream, capitalism, hunting and other social topics with a heavy, foreboding sense. It includes audio samples and lyrics that still feel relevant today. Even though he says he was a “little kid” when he wrote it, Mclachlan is still proud of the record. “It holds up well to this day. I feel it captures an era and a movement when it was at its strongest.” Mclachlan is somewhat surprised to still be playing the music of his youthful band all these years later. “We had our first practice in Santa Ana, and we just kept it going, never thought we’d still be doing it actually, but I guess if it’s in your blood you’re going to keep grinding.” These days, Phobia is busy working on a new EP, which Mclachlan hopes will be

released early next year, as they are currently in the process of finishing the (signature screeching) vocals. “It’s really in tune with what all is going on in the scene today with social media bullying, lies and deception,” Mclachlan explains. “I feel the music scene lost its depth of communication, the music community has been absorbed and engulfed into a web of misled lies, and everyone is to be judged without a trial. So its covers all that, and it’s important!” While Doom isn’t in the recording studio currently, it is contributing several live tracks to a benefit compilation for marine-life conservation nonprofit Sea Shepherd. And while they all are busy with day jobs, Dickens says that bandmates may still find time to record new music at some point. Sticking to their DIY roots has been a priority, and they’ve been able to do so over the last few years with Doom’s own Black Cloud label, on which the band releases original music before it goes wider to bigger labels, most recently 2013’s Corrupt Fucking System. When asked if the current political climate is good fodder for new Doom music, given the band’s past socio-political references, Dickens says, “It certainly gives you a lot of subject matter to write about, but it doesn’t necessarily make for good music to listen to. But looking at the news these days, it’s almost a farcical comedy. I’d laugh if it wasn’t so serious.” F Doom and Phobia perform with No Divide on Saturday, Oct. 13, at 8 p.m. at The Garage, 1091 Scandia Ave., Ventura.

Murphy Brown is back in town by Ivor Davis

case you haven’t heard, Murphy Brown is back. Yes, the same investigative journalist and news anchor who, for 10 years (from 1988 to 1998), roiled the waters of TV — and the political world — on the sitcom Murphy Brown back in the late 20th century. Diane English, creator and producer of the original CBS series, has brought it back, assembling most of the familiar faces (plus a handful of new ones) to help soothe the wounds that America has suffered over these past few years. The first episode of the new Murphy Brown aired on Sept. 27, with the eponymous heroine back on her old CNC cable network as the star of Murphy in the Morning. Viewers will be delighted to learn that time has not softened Ms. Brown. Her teeth are, in fact, sharper than ever. Candice Bergen resumes the role she made so iconic, using her biting wit to mow down monumental egos, ferociously taking on all comers in today’s political climate. At a press event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, English, Bergen and other cast members expressed excitement about the 2018 reboot. At 72, Bergen is a little older and much wiser, of course. She was eager to talk about her latest reincarnation. What was your reaction when they handed you the first script? I said, “Let’s do it.” It’s been very emotional for the old guys because we moved the show to New York because I have to be in New York for other reasons, and

they built Murphy’s townhouse on the sound stage in the studio in Queens. And when I saw Murphy’s townhouse for the first time, we all got tears in our eyes. Murphy was so important to all of us, and so to be back there, we’re just grateful. How has the show changed? We’re older by a lot. And Murphy, Corky and Frank are starting a morning show, with Miles producing it. And Murphy’s son (Avery), whom you saw when he was being born on the episode “Birth 101,” is now played by Jake McDorman, and wonderfully played. And he’s also a television journalist . . . who is working for an opposing channel called the Wolf Network. Murphy is a fierce mom, but she’s a competitive mom. So Avery has his work cut out for him. Is Murphy still in recovery? Murphy will always be in recovery. We do not touch on that in the first episode because there’s so much to deal with. In today’s climate can you be even more hard-hitting than in the original series? Can I just say that the script of the first episode is so ambitious and so fearless? During the taping, I turned to Joe [Regalbuto, who plays investigative reporter Frank Fontana] at one point and said, “This show has no fear of anyone” because we really stick our heads in the lion’s mouth, and she [Murphy] handled it so brilliantly, as you ♦ will see.

Venom

Action film finds unique niche

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Venom Directed by Ruben Fleischer Starring: Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action and for language 1 hr. 52 mins.

or the last 20 years or so, Marvel has been releasing a steady stream of comic book characters on film. Most of them would fall under the heading of “superhero.” But in the case of Venom, Marvel has given us a mystery — a character who is alien, has superpowers, yet is not in any form or fashion a hero. While he inhabits a body, he’s his own character and has to be tamed and civilized. This certainly is a different twist. We’re not really involved with crime fighting here. Rather, it’s more a battle to save people (and dogs) from 1) being taken over in their bodies, and 2) being eaten for dinner. The San Francisco-based bioengineering firm Life Foundation, owned by entrepreneur Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), has sent a probe into space searching for new life forms. After four are captured, one of the life forms escapes and crashes the probe as it returns to Earth. At the crash site, the entity inhabits an emergency medical technician in Malaysia and begins a long series of transferences from one life form to another to return to its family members in San Francisco. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is a TV news investigator noted for his hard-nosed exposés on corruption. When he interviews Drake, he goes against his editor’s orders and confronts him with confidential information stolen from Drake’s emails. Brock is fired. His girlfriend, attorney Anne Weying (Michelle Williams), who does legal work for Life Foundation, is also fired. When she breaks up with him, Brock’s life falls apart.

Brock is a man without purpose until one of Drake’s scientists, Dr. Dora Skirth (Jenny Slate), reveals that Drake is feeding homeless people to his alien life forms in order to find compatible human hosts. Brock breaks into Life Foundation and tries to rescue one of his street friends. Instead, she attacks him, and the alien Venom inhabits his body. Now Brock has even more problems. He has scary conversations with Venom. His body is being used for hunting, as Venom is quite hungry for live food. And Drake wants his life form back, which unfortunately includes kidnapping Brock. If this sounds complicated, get used to it. Venom credits seven different writers. There are lots of moving parts to this plot. What keeps this film afloat is the acting of Tom Hardy (who can inhabit anyone’s body, including his own), plus a reasonable amount of action that gets better as the story unfolds. The subject of this film, however, Venom himself, remains murky. What is he exactly and where did he come from? You could spend a lot of time arguing about this. A symbiote, yes. Also an alien. But a crime partner? That seems a stretch. Venom is hungry and always looking for a meal. So does that mean that Venom gets to eat the bad guys? That’s a dark premise. I have to say that this is one of Marvel’s more enigmatic characters, not clearly drawn as good or evil, but his own creature, his own personality. He just happens to inhabit and feed on Brock to stay alive. So where do we go from here? It might lead to more interesting conversations between Venom and Brock, maybe some minimum explanation about human civilization. For now, Venom is reasonably entertaining and even humorous. But superhero? Hmm, not at this point, though I suspect there is more crime fighting to come. Venom doesn’t have the heart of Batman or the wit of Spider-Man. But he is unique and stands apart from most Marvel film characters because he’s willing to play in the gray areas of human morality. After all, he’s an alien, unencumbered by human expectations. He can eat whoever, whenever. It’s up to Hardy to guide him. Now ♦ that I think about it, I’m glad I don’t have his job!

Mi Casa, Su Casa Back Patio Cellars 930 Flynn Road, Unit F Camarillo 805-388-3457

by Michael Cervin

musingly, there’s a front patio to Back Patio Cellars tasting room in Camarillo, though it’s not zoned for wine. But step inside the small, comfy winery and you may not want to step away. Owners Frank and Jennifer Hules live in Moorpark and make the trek down Highway 118 to Camarillo each weekend to pour their passion. Frank was a home winemaker for nearly a decade at first. “I got to a point where it was taking over the house, literally” he tells me as Jennifer rolls her eyes in agreement. But a small start up winery is never an easy endeavor. “Our business is doing well, especially when traffic is bad,” Frank jokes. On weekends with stop-andgo traffic on the Conejo Grade, Frank tells me, frustrated drivers will Google the closest wine tasting. Since Back Patio is the closest off the Conejo Grade it’s easy to find because it is so close to the freeway in an uncrowded business park. These are truly small- production wines, less than 50 cases of each. They sell only direct to consumers, so you won’t find the wines at local restaurants or retail stores; you need to come here in part because at just 750-1,000 cases,

there’s not much to go around. Frank makes the wine but he and Jennifer work together on the final blends. They are open Saturday and Sunday, but also Friday from 4 to 7 p.m., ideal for a Friday night wine-down. They are pet-friendly, and though they don’t offer food, you can bring your own. Wines by the glass are $10 or $15 for a tasting of five of their wines. Frank buys grapes from Paso Robles, Lodi, Santa Barbara, even Sonoma and Napa. “Come in as customers, leave as friends,” Jennifer says. After all, their back patio, is your back patio. Tasting well currently: 2017 Paw Prints Rosé Made from grenache out of Santa Ynez, this offers light strawberry, lemon-lime, rhubarb, Red delicious apple and great acidity. 2014 pinot noir Made from grapes from two well-respected Santa Barbara vineyards (Riverbench and Babcock), it begins with a bright acidity — ideal with food — with notes of black cherry, strawberry, blackberry and a stony minerality. 2014 Idyllic An earthy blend of petite sirah, syrah, grenache and mourvèdre, it presents rhubarb, black cherry and black berry fruits, a more tannic structure but smooth and easy to drink. ♦

Michael D’s corned beef hash benedict balanced the sophistication of benedict with the comfort of warm hash.

Picture-perfect benedict at Michael D's by Michael Sullivan michael@vcreporter.com

Michael D’s Cafe Breakfast and More 593 W. Los Angeles Ave., Moorpark 805-517-1100 $1.75-12.95

hen it comes to comfort-food breakfast nooks, I figure that once you have been to a good one, you have been to them all. I often fret about going to a restaurant where I could at the very least make meals of the same quality for a fraction of the cost, which, I suppose, is why I don’t often check out breakfast places. But some misconceptions are worth challenging. My partner and I have been passing Michael D’s Breakfast and More regularly for the last several months. I do like the name and there are always balloons outside, as if the grand opening is every day. While I talked to Michael D himself as he moved around the restaurant, decorating for Halloween and addressing customer needs, I didn’t get a chance to ask him how long he had been open. He did relay that he had opened several Michael D’s restaurants around the SoCal region, but it seemed apparent that the Moorpark location had become a focus. As we scanned the menu, we had a lovely server named Dana offer drinks. She was super-polite and didn’t hesitate when we asked for anything. We could have asked for the moon and she probably would have obliged, somehow. While the menu is stacked with the usual suspects: eggs any way, omelets, pancakes, French toast, plus sandwiches and entrees for the lunch-seeking crowd, it was the special that we both chose. Two orders of corned beef hash eggs benedict, one with fruit and the other with hash browns. As we talked and drank our iced coffee with vanilla

cream, a special request they obliged, it didn’t take but a good 10 minutes or so before our orders arrived. Both benedicts arrived nice and neat, picture-perfect. The taste, the eggs poached with no runny whites and a warm viscous center, the hollandaise sauce smooth and creamy with a slight tang. The corned beef hash brought my partner and me both memories from our childhoods, especially eating it while camping. For me, memories of hunting deer, fishing and eating hash — if I recall correctly, out of the can warmed by the fire — brought back a warmer, softer time in my life. The English muffins were as expected and the fruit was fresh and cold. Too many times, cut fresh fruit can be a little slimy or warm. The hash browns did not suffer from being greasy but rather had a good balance of fried crispiness and tenderness. We both noted that it’s unusual to eat our full meals, especially at breakfast. We ate it all with no regrets. On another recent visit, we ordered to-go biscuits and gravy and two cinnamon rolls with chocolate chips. While the white gravy had no sausage and was on the bland side and the herb, possibly oregano, sprinkled on top seemed to be a bit much for the sense of smell, the cinnamon rolls were divine. Though not warmed at the restaurant, a quick flash in the microwave at home produced a warm soft gooey breakfast treat. For the future, there are plenty of options on Michael D’s menu, from the traditional Chinese chicken salad to the barbecue boneless chicken breast hot sandwich and the chicken-fried steak that my partner won’t stop bugging me about. The menu also boasts assorted cakes and pies, surely the “thick milkshakes” are worth the calorie splurge. Though I still prefer to be a penny pincher when it comes to breakfast, I do appreciate the care put into a special meal. And that is what I experienced there. Though obviously not every meal will be prepared the same, Michael D to me clearly cares about the food his customers eat; and for that reason, we will be back. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Hi, Anxiety!

’m a 29-year-old woman. My boyfriend of a year is a wonderful guy. I’ve always been a jealous person — very insecure about whether a guy really cares and is being faithful. I ruined my last relationship (with a nice, decent guy) by snooping in his email — finding nothing. I’ve started seeing a therapist, who tells me I am “anxiously attached.” She’s helping me work on this. My boyfriend suggested I also write you to see whether he could do anything to help. —Panicky Many people find it comforting to believe there’s some benevolent force watching over those they love. You, on the other hand, favor a private detective with a fleet of drones who will also supply you with the video. Your therapist’s assessment that you’re “anxiously attached” comes out of research on our “attachment behavioral system,” our emotional

by amy alkon framework that guides how secure or insecure we feel about our bonds with others. According to the late British psychiatrist John Bowlby, we each have internalized working models — basically, expectations from childhood experience (with genes also playing a role) — for how much we can count on others to stick by us and respond to our needs. Being “anxiously attached” seems to result from your mom or other early caregiver being intermittently cold or otherwise inconsistently comforting. It typically leads to needy, clingy, hyper-vigilant behavior, driven by fears of rejection and abandonment. Though the clingaramousness and Nancy Drew tactics of the anxiously attached can seem like ways of acting out, they’re actually attempts to get a romantic partner to ramp up their level of commitment — or at least offer reassurance about their commitment. Interestingly, it seems that the reassurance doesn’t have to come in spoken-word form. Psychologist Brooke C. Feeney found that (in the context of a close relationship) “affectionate touch ... was an effective buffer against jealous feelings” for relationship partners at times when they were experiencing high levels of anxious attachment.

‘‘

In Feeney’s study, the “affectionate touch” just involved one partner putting his or her arm around the other’s shoulder. But presumably, hugs, hairpetting, face-caressing and other forms of affectionate touch from your boyfriend would also help with the jealousy — shrinking the green monster to something more gecko-sized. Sending the message physically like this takes advantage of how, according to research in “embodied cognition,” our body and actions —

Eyeballs Crawling Up My Sister.

The Girl with the Draggin’Tattoo I’m a 38-year-old single man. There’s this very pretty, very nice female trainer I see at my gym. I’d ask her out except that she has a huge tattoo of a diamond on her neck. Ugh. Total deal breaker. If it were a hidden tattoo (leg, hip, etc.), I’d deal. But I just can’t imagine myself or any guy bringing a girl with a huge neck tat home to meet the parents. Why would a woman do this? —Hate Ink

Being “anxiously attached” seems to result from your mom or other early caregiver being intermittently cold or otherwise inconsistently comforting. independent of conscious thought — are surprisingly powerful and efficient tools for changing our habitual emotional reactions. (See my “science-help” book, Unf*ckology, for more on this.) Best of all, being regularly cuddly-wuddly with one’s partner isn’t exactly an odious chore. It’s surely preferable to the alternative — a relationship that feels like one long interrogation, though with better lighting and decorative accents from Bed, Bath, & I’d Better Not Catch Your

A tattoo is a flesh billboard — one that sends different messages to different people. For example, there are those tattoos Westerners get in Chinese, which are sometimes deeply profound ancient sayings, such as “Lost ticket pays full day rate for parking.” Tattoos are now more socially acceptable than ever. Three in 10 Americans have them, according to a 2015 Harris Poll. As for why, people often explain their tattoo or tattoos as a celebration or remembrance of something: “And there was my Everclear era in my early 20s — memorialized by this ‘No regerts’ tattoo.” However, evolutionary researcher

Haley Dillon and her colleagues reviewed findings from cross-cultural research on tattooing and concluded that there are two main underlying motivations (subconscious evolved motivations) for people to go all human canvas. People get tats as symbols — interestingly, of either group membership or individuality or both. And they do it as a form of “costly signaling” — advertising to others that they are so crazy-healthy that they don’t need to worry about the health risks (which include bacterial infection and death, a rare serious bummer). Each of these underlying motivations is what’s called a “fitness display,” promoting a tattooee’s excellence as a mate or cooperator, which should ultimately enhance their chances of reproductive success. Well, that’s the idea, anyway. You happen to favor virgin neck, which can lead to some awkwardness in asking a woman out: “Hey, can I treat you to dinner sometime — followed by two years of laser tattoo removal?” (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

In his book The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen describes his quest to glimpse the elusive and rarely seen creature in the Himalayas. “Its uncompromising yellow eyes, wired into the depths of its unfathomable spirit,” he writes, give it a “terrible beauty” that is “the very stuff of human longing.” He loves the snow leopard so much, he says, that it is the animal he “would most like to be eaten by.” I bring this up, Aries, because now would be a good time, astrologically speaking, for you to identify what animal you would most like to be eaten by. In other words, what creature would you most like to learn from and be inspired by? What beautiful beast has the most to give you?

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Richard Nelson is an anthropologist who has lived for years with the indigenous Koyukon people of Alaska. He lauds their “careful watching of the same events in the same place” over long periods of time, noting how this enables them to cultivate a rich relationship with their surroundings that is incomprehensible to us civilized Westerners. He concludes, “There may be more to learn by climbing the same mountain a hundred times than by climbing a hundred different mountains.” I think that’s excellent counsel for you to employ in the coming weeks.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“It is sad that unless you are born a god, your life, from its very beginning, is a mystery to you,” writes Gemini author Jamaica Kincaid. I disagree with her because she implies that if you’re human, your life is a complete and utter mystery; whereas my observation has been that for most of us, our lives are no more than 80 percent mystery. Some lucky ones have even deciphered as much as 65 percent, leaving only 35 percent mystery. What’s your percent-

age? I expect that between now and Nov. 1, you can increase your understanding by at least 10 percent.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

You Cancerians may not possess the mental dexterity of Virgos or the acute cleverness of Geminis, but you have the most soulful intelligence in the zodiac. Your empathetic intuition is among your greatest treasures. Your capacity to feel deeply gives you the ability to intensely understand the inner workings of life. Sometimes you take this subtle acumen for granted. It may be hard for you to believe that others are stuck at a high-school level of emotional skill when you have the equivalent of a Ph.D. Everything I just said is a prelude to my advice. In the coming weeks, I doubt you can solve your big riddle through rational analysis. Your best strategy is to deeply experience all the interesting feelings that are rising up in you.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

more, you have more power than usual to change your life in ways that incorporate this truth. To get started, meditate on the hypothesis that you can get more good work done if you’re calm and composed than if you’re agitated and trying too hard.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

My astrological analysis suggests that life is conspiring to render you extra-excited and unusually animated and highly motivated. I bet that if you cooperate with the natural rhythms, you will feel stirred, playful and delighted. So how can you best use this gift? How might you take maximum

In her only novel, Save Me the Waltz, Zelda Fitzgerald described her main character like this: “She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.” That’s a bit too much like fairy-tale wisdom for me to endorse it unconditionally. But I do believe it may sometimes be a valid hypothesis — especially for you Sagittarians in the coming months. Your faith in yourself and your desire to have interesting fun will be even more important than usual in determining what adventures you will have. I suggest you start now to lay the groundwork for this exhilarating challenge.

CAPRICORN

that will be arriving? Here’s my opinion: Be more

Russian philosopher George Gurdjieff taught that most people are virtually sleepwalking, even during the day. He said that we’re permanently stuck on automatic pilot, prone to reacting in mechanical ways to every event that comes our way. Psychology pioneer Sigmund Freud had an equally dim view of us humans. He believed that it’s our normal state to be neurotic, that most of us are chronically out of sync with our surroundings. Now here’s the good news, Capricorn. You’re at least temporarily in a favorable position to refute both men’s theories. In fact, I’ll boldly predict that in the next three weeks you’ll be as authentic and awake and at peace as you’ve been in years.

A Chinese proverb says, “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” I’m happy to let you know that you are currently more receptive to this truth than maybe you have ever been. Further-

advantage of the lucky breaks and bursts of grace

Do you ever experience stress from having to be so interesting and attractive all the time? It may on occasion feel like an onerous responsibility to be the only artful egomaniac amidst swarms of amateur egomaniacs. I have a suggestion that might help. Twice a year, celebrate a holiday I call Dare to Be Boring Week. During these periods of release and relief, you won’t live up to people’s expectations that you keep them amused and excited. You’ll be free to be solely focused on amusing and exciting yourself, even if that means they’ll think you’re dull. Now is an excellent time to observe Dare to Be Boring Week. (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

you already know. Being practical is fine as long as you’re idealistically practical.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

of the Lost and Found? What’s the best route to take? Who and what are likely to provide the best help? If you approach those questions with a crisply optimistic attitude, you can gather a wealth of useful information in a relatively short time. The more go and the more painless it will be. Here’s another fertile question to meditate on: Is there a smart and kind way to give up your attachment to a supposedly important thing that is actually quite burdensome?

AQUARIUS

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

In the late 19th century, American botanist George Washington Carver began to champion the nutritional value of peanuts. His influence led to the plant being grown and used more extensively. Although he accomplished many other innovations, including techniques for enhancing depleted soils, he became famous as the Peanut Man. Later in life, he

told the story that while young he had prayed to God to show him the mystery of the universe, but God turned him down, saying, “That’s for me alone.” So George asked God to show him the mystery of the peanut, and God agreed, saying, “That’s more nearly your size.” The coming weeks will be a great time for you to seek a comparable revelation, Aquarius.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Every year, people discard 3.3 million pounds of chewing gum on the streets of Amsterdam. A company named Gumdrop has begun to harvest that waste and use it to make soles for its new brand of sneakers, Gumshoe. A representative said that the intention was to “create a product people actually want from something no one cares about.” I’d love it if you were inspired by this visionary act of recycling, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic omens, you now have exceptional powers to transform something you don’t want into something you do want.

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. 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

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, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9551-4114. 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.
