OPINION Editorial

Planning for job growth in Ventura County

conomic growth strategies are always plausible before implementation. There is hope in rebound and revitalization. On Oct. 5, at the 48th Annual Business Outlook Conference at the Ronald Reagan Library, the focus was on the future of manufacturing, technology and innovation in Ventura County. For the last couple of years, Matthew Fienup, executive director for the Center for Economic Research and Forecasting at California Lutheran University, said that Ventura County’s economic growth has been “anemic,” and in 2016, the county even experienced a recession. To stimulate growth, business leaders and legislators are working together to develop a workforce that is capable and ready to enter the manufacturing field. That includes programs and courses at the college level and apprenticeships at local manufacturers. Gino DiCaro, vice president of communications of the California Manufacturers and Technology Association, highlighted the cost of doing business in the state versus elsewhere, including the fact that energy costs are typically about 45 percent higher than other states. He talked about how manufacturers are getting smaller and how they are unable to allocate resources for training programs. He also pointed out that career tech enrollment is down. Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, spoke from not only a legislative position but also her engineering background and how critical proper workforce development is. She also discussed the importance of affordable housing and the sheer lack of it in Ventura County. There are also other aspects to consider, including rural America’s poverty and need to bring jobs to its regions. Any state that has fewer regulations and available affordable housing is an obvious hindrance to luring manufacturers to Ventura County. Further, the manufacturing industries of both durable and nondurable goods have seen mainly stagnant growth in California from 2015 to 2017,

given the ebbs and flows over those two years. Ventura County numbers were not readily available. According to the Employment Development Department for August in Ventura County, the highest number of job ads were: retail salespersons (406 ads), security guards (344), registered nurses (315), first-line supervisors of retail sales workers (288), bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks (252), customer service representatives (236), first-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers (204), first-line supervisors of food preparation and serving workers (156), industrial engineers (145) and vocational education teachers, postsecondary (135). Job demand in manufacturing is not obvious in Ventura County and competing with other regions to lure these jobs seems like a monumental task. While California legislators passed Senate Bill 1, the gas tax (which is currently up for repeal via ballot initiative) that is designed to improve roads and consequently business-related transportation needs, the real struggle is in quality of life and affordability. Various websites that evaluate average salaries show a range of median incomes in the field of manufacturing. They show that manufacturing engineers make over $80,000 while technicians make less than $40,000. But a manufacturer needs to employ a range of skillsets and to move to a place where only the high-wage earners can survive but lower-level employees will barely squeak by seems counterproductive to relocation. The overall focus for any person devoted to economic growth is to get a handle on the housing crisis that we simply don’t have time to build ourselves out of. Given that housing prices have not gotten better over the last decade, despite new construction and over 16 years of net negative migration to Ventura County, there has to be another way to address the issue. We look forward to more thoughtful discussions on how to change the status quo in Ventura County. The “sky ‘s the limit” for housing costs is not a good approach when it comes to an absolute essential.

of her experience of decades ago, but she was clear and consistent in those eliciting traumatic fear. Her manner was congruent in every way of a woman reliving a traumatic event verbally in a public forum. Her answers were responsive and unequivocal. She corrected her interrogator with appropriate courtesy at times, as though wanting to tell her story as exactly as possible. Clearly this woman wanted simply to do her civic duty and return to her remarkably successful normal life, with this behind her. No one unearthed any other motive for her accusation.

She came in with a polygraph result and requested the FBI investigate. Judge Kavanaugh, on the other hand, came across as angry, self-pitying, evasive, dodging many direct questions with irrelevant remarks about beer, and inappropriately turning one question back on a female senator. He refused to back either an FBI inquiry or a polygraph. Understandably, the judge was unhappy at the turn of events; who could blame him; and apparently he had suffered bullying and death threats by anonymous partisans — as had Dr. Ford — but his tirade against Democrats allegedly “seeking revenge for President Clinton” suggests this man would be entering high office with strong prejudices against parties most likely to come before the court. While Judge Kavanaugh received a “very qualified” bar association rating recently, in past years, he was downgraded to “qualified,” citing just those troublesome characteristics exhibited in his testimony — bias and lack of judicial temperament. This is not a man who belongs on the high court.

Thank you for your article in the October 10, 2018 issue of the VC Reporter. Triunfo Sanitation District would like to clarify three points in your article. The service area of the Triunfo Sanitation District is located entirely within Ventura County (Oak Park, Lake Sherwood, Bell Canyon, and the Westlake and North Ranch portions of Thousand Oaks); sewer rates were raised this year; and, most importantly, the Triunfo Sanitation District is an independently elected and governed board that contracts with the Ventura Regional Sanitation District for its operations and administrative services. We also would like to add that the three directors up for election this year are running unopposed, and will not be on the ballot in the current election.

When winning isn’t winning by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

‘‘W

e’re going to win so much. You’re going to get tired of winning. You’re going to say, ‘Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don’t win so much. This is getting terrible.’ And I’m going to say, ‘No, we have to make America great again.’ You’re gonna say, ‘Please.’ I said, ‘Nope, nope. We’re gonna keep winning.’ ” Those are the words of President Donald Trump, and he appears to be living up to that. While some conservatives see the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court as a huge win, swinging the court conservative for years to come, at what cost will the backing of the controversial pick hurt the Republican Party for years to come? Brett Kavanaugh on paper looked like an easy judge to rush through the Senate, but when Christine Blasey Ford’s account of sexual misconduct in 1982 became relevant, everything flew out the window. While Ford wanted her story to be thrown into the mix of character evaluation, she didn’t seem to want to be thrown into the limelight either. While having your story told in front of the entire world isn’t ideal in any way, no man or woman should be accused by a faceless victim. Upon hearing both testimonies, Ford appeared truthful and honest in her lack of memory of

1982, and clear and poignant in her clear memories of being held down and laughed at. Regardless of one’s thoughts on Kavanaugh’s role, there is no doubt she went through a horrible, humiliating event at 15 years old. Kavanaugh’s testimony was much shakier. His outbursts and nonprofessional tone, yelling about how he “worked [his] butt off,” were daggers to defending his temperament, and his aloof understanding of numerous sexual terms like

activity, or maybe he wasn’t a virgin. One’s virginity and comprehension of sexual acts shouldn’t disqualify them from the Supreme Court, but his innocent Catholic boy routine was anything but. There is a lot of blame going around about how this judiciary confirmation took place. One could blame Sen. Dianne Feinstein, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, for coming out so late, making Ford’s story more of a political play. One could look at Kavanaugh’s

One’s virginity and comprehension of sexual acts shouldn’t disqualify them from the Supreme Court, but his innocent Catholic boy routine was anything but.

“boofing” and “Devil’s Triangle” — claiming they were drinking games — made him look foolish and, even worse, a liar. Many conservatives argued that he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t, concerning his temperament about being accused of sexual assault, but he should have at least been honest about his sexual understanding. Maybe he was a virgin who just knew a lot about sexual

inability to keep his cool. One could even look at Trump for not pulling Kavanaugh’s name and picking another candidate. But both sides were looking for a win, and while Trump and the GOP see this as “winning,” the cost is greater than the reward. The GOP looks more like hypocrites than ever before. Had Kavanaugh been then-President Barack Obama’s pick, the Republicans would

have given him the full Bill Clinton/Ken Starr treatment. He would have been painted as a sexual deviant and ran out of town. That is not to say liberals can hold the moral high ground. They used Ford as a political puppet and useful idiot for their own agenda. And one late night TV writer revealed the dark underbelly of a crusade against men who may or may not be guilty. “Whatever happens, I’m just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s life,” Stephen Colbert writer Ariel Dumas posted on Twitter. In many ways they ruined Ford’s life, too. But political collateral isn’t on their radar in an anti-Trump war. Already many are citing Kavanaugh’s ability to understand promoting women with his four clerks being all female. That might look good for a day, but not a long-term solution in rectifying his or the GOP’s reputation in understanding the #MeToo movement and being the party of moral clarity. And Kavanaugh may never move on from this. “Brett Kavanaugh may look the part when he dons the robe, but Kavanaugh will be an illegitimate justice for as long as he sits on the Court,” said Brian Fallon, executive director of Demand Justice. Trump promised to make “winning” feel like a terrible headache. You can’t say he hasn’t lived up to that promise. ♦

SSFL: The price our family had to pay by Beth

remember watching the movie Erin Brockovich and marveling at the capacity that the big companies and government had to cover up something as big as having contaminated water “nourishing” an entire community. It seemed unfathomable that these companies and/or the government would knowingly protect themselves from potential lawsuits and public dishonor at the cost of thousands of human lives. Little did I know that my family would soon be scripted to be cast in an almost identical story, but this time the story would be directed by Atomics International, Rockwell, Rocketdyne and the Santa Susana Field Lab. When my brother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2005 it was almost more than we could stand to hear since only a few months earlier my mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. As my brother starting undergoing treatment for his thyroid cancer, my mother was diagnosed with a second, primary cancer, and this time lung cancer. She was not a smoker. I remember my mother’s oncologist stating that is it quite rare to have two primary cancers. I can honestly say that 2005 was the worst year of my life. My mother lost her battle with her cancers and died Sept. 23, 2005. My brother was in the battle of his life trying to

beat his unusually aggressive thyroid cancer, which was metastasizing; and I, a mother of two young girls aged 2 and 7 years old, had just gotten my diagnosis, thyroid cancer. My script had finally been delivered. I really could not figure out how it was possible that all three of us had been diagnosed with cancer in the same year until I learned about the SSFL. The Santa Susana Field Laboratory is a complex of industrial research and development facilities located on a 2,668-acre (1,080 hectares) portion of the Southern California Simi Hills in Simi Valley, California. It was used mainly for the development and testing of liquid-propellant rocket engines for the United States space program from 1949 to 2006, nuclear reactors from 1953 to 1980 and the operation of a U.S. government-sponsored liquid metals research center from 1966 to 1998. The site is located approximately 7 miles (11 km) northwest from the community of Canoga Park and approximately 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Sage Ranch Park is adjacent on part of the northern boundary and the community of Bell Canyon along the entire southern boundary. Throughout the years, about 10 low-power nuclear reactors operated at SSFL, in addition to several “critical facilities” that helped develop nuclear science and applications. At least four of the 10 nuclear reactors had accidents during their operation. The reactors located on the grounds of SSFL were consid-

ered experimental and, therefore, had no containment structures. The site ceased research and development operations in 2006. The years of rocket testing, nuclear reactor testing and liquid metal research have left the site “significantly contaminated.” Environmental cleanup is ongoing. The Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) was an experimental nuclear reactor that operated at the site from 1957 to 1964 and was the first commercial power plant in the world to experience a core meltdown. There was a decades-long coverup of the incident by the U.S. Department of Energy. At least four of the 10 nuclear reactors suffered accidents: 1) The AE6 reactor experienced a release of fission gases in March 1959. 2) In July 1959, the SRE experienced a power excursion and partial meltdown that released 28 curies of radioactive noble gases. The release resulted on the maximum off-site exposure of 0.099 millirem and an exposure of 0.018 millirem for the nearest residential building, which is well within current limits today.3) In 1964, the SNAP8ER experienced damage to 80 percent of its fuel. 4) Finally, in 1969 the SNAP8DR experienced similar damage to onethird of its fuel. As the facts show, we lived in a hot-spot area at the wrong time in history. The first meltdown was in 1959, and as we all know the half-life of nuclear materials can be thousands

of years, so as far as I am concerned the area has been contaminated and putting the local neighborhood at risk since 1959. All of the other meltdowns and accidents that happened after that had a cumulative effect on the health of the community that lived downwind from these facilities. Where we lived, we were actually surrounded by four nuclear and/ or rocket fuel testing sites. We were just blocks from the DeSoto and Canoga rocket labs run by Atomics International. We were just blocks from the Chatsworth Reservoir, which used reclaimed water with TCE in it, highly carcinogenic, to cool down the rocket engines, thereby releasing a deadly and toxic gas downwind to those of us living in Canoga Park and West Hills. And of course, we were just a mile or two downwind from the Santa Susana Field Lab itself, which was the worst offender of all. It was once I had all of these facts that I no longer wondered why all of my immediate family had cancer; I now knew why. This was the price our family had to pay because Atomics International, Rockwell, Rocketdyne and the SSFL decided to cover up one of the worst nuclear meltdowns ♦ in history.

news In Brief COUNTY LAUNCHES FARMWORKER RESOURCE PROGRAM

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors has approved a first-ofits-kind program in California that will contract bilingual employees knowledgeable in farmworker issues to assist farmworkers and their employers in dealing with available resources. By unanimous vote, the Board approved the Farmworker Resource Program, which, once implemented, intends to seek timely resolutions to workplace issues, address systemic issues and provide guidelines for available county, state and federal resources, with special attention given to farmworker complaints regarding payroll, working conditions and sexual harassment. “We want to build trust and relationships with farmworkers, employers, farmers and advocates,” said District 5 Supervisor, John Zaragoza. “Our goal is to develop a program that will assist farmworkers with prompt resolutions to workplace issues, and in navigating the wide array of public agencies which provide services to them. The committee worked together to make this happen.”

It’s not that easy

STATE ROUTE 33 PAVEMENT PROJECT BEGINS

Fight underway for election to Casitas district board

OXNARD FUNDS HOMELESS SHOWER RENOVATION

by Kit Stolz

ary Bergen, a retired marine biologist, is running for reelection to the Board of the Casitas Municipal Water District, which manages Lake Casitas, providing water to over 60,000 residents in West County, against Angelo Spandrio, an engineer and first-time candidate for the board. They disagree on some issues, but agree that climate change and drought has made the job they seek tougher. “I think climate change is probably a factor,” Spandrio said. “If you look at our history, we have never had under 10-12 inches of rain in a year for six years straight before this drought [from 2011 to 2016]. We had a betterthan-average year in 2017, but this year we were again back in the 10-12 inches range. This could be the first year of another five-year drought. I would really like to see Casitas plan on more of a worst-case situation than a best-case situation.” Bergen said she understands why Ojai residents are worried. “It’s the drought,” she said. “People are genuinely scared and rightfully so. What’s going through my mind is how we approach the question. Do we approach it rationally, which is really hard to do in a scary situation? Or do you run to fear? I say we have to do everything we can to try and be rational and take the steps we need to take, and not get into the blame game and the fear-mongering.” Four years ago Bergen ran unopposed for re-election to the Casitas board. This year, her opponent Spandrio has blanketed the Ojai Valley with his campaign signs, backed by over $25,000 in donations, according to election filings with the county clerk. Donors include dozens of Ojai

6—

residents giving mostly small contributions, but a few large donations, including $4,000 from the California Association of Realtors office in Los Angeles. Bergen is largely self-funding her campaign, which is being outspent by a nearly 6-to-1 margin. Spandrio sees his backing as evidence of a groundswell of support. “When I agreed to be a candidate, there was a huge outpouring of dollars to support my campaign. I think it’s an indication that people are not happy with the way Casitas is being run,” he said. Unlike most of Southern California, which relies heavily on imported water from Northern California, the Ojai Valley is entirely dependent on local rainfall and groundwater. Bergen, who for many years managed a large avocado orchard in Ojai, believes that the growers are well aware of the drought but wary of the expense of new sources of water. “There is no magic wand out there,” Bergen said. “If there were some magic, cheap, affordable solution, we would have done it. This is not to say anything bad about Angelo; it’s just that he’s beginning to learn that it’s not easy.” Bergen said that Casitas has been talking since 2016 with the city of Ventura and two east county water districts to bring an allocation of water to Ventura from Northern California via the State Water Project. Called the State Water Interconnection, this “in lieu” water is intended to go to the western side of the city and allow Casitas — which currently supplies the western side of the city of Ventura with water — to keep more of its rainfall in the lake. “One of the frustrations we have on the board is that people would say, ‘What are you doing about the

drought?’ And we would tell them, and they wouldn’t hear,” Bergen said. Spandrio argues that the State Water Interconnection, which is slated to bring water to the west side of Ventura by 2023, is not enough. “There is no provision for bringing water to the Ojai Valley,” he said. “Casitas would like for you to think that the intertie is comparable to the Three Sisters Plan that we have proposed, but the intertie does not include a pipeline from the Ventura system to the Casitas system, and it doesn’t include the second major component, which is a negotiation between Casitas, Calleguas and Ventura to figure out how to combine the allocations so we can somehow get together and figure out where we may potentially have excess water.” The Three Sisters Plan is a coordinated effort with Casitas and Calleguas water districts and the city of Ventura to augment water supplies through the state water connection, using Casitas as an emergency back up, and help share in the costs. Roughly three quarters of Ventura County residents, from Oxnard to Simi Valley, use water purchased by their retail purveyors from Calleguas’ distribution system, according to the district’s website. Although Bergen has been part of the negotiations with Calleguas, she said her first priority at present with Casitas is managing the drought. “One of the things we’re working on now is a definition of what a Stage Four [drought] declaration means exactly,” she said. [Stage Four, which will further limit irrigation and outdoor watering, is expected to be declared soon.] “We want to protect both the agricultural community and the business community, as well as the ✦ residents.”

Be prepared to slow when traveling along State Route 33 as Cal Trans has begun a project to repair and replace pavement along six miles between Ventura and Casitas Springs. The $12.5 million project will see crews working at night and will provide detours when needed while replacing and repairing asphalt and concrete pavement and repairing bridges. Date of completion is set for summer 2019. Community Action of Ventura County announced that the City of Oxnard will fund a shower renovation at the organization’s Transition Center, which serves 20,000 individuals annually. The showers, says Executive Director Cynder Sinclair, had deteriorated to the “point of being unsafe” and have been closed since August, adding that over 6,000 made use of the facilities over the 12 months prior to closure. The funding, in the range of $30,000 to $40,000, will allow for the showers to reopen after renovation. “We are so grateful to the City Manager and to the Oxnard Housing Department for helping us continue to provide this critical service to our homeless clients,” said Sinclair.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RECEIVES GRANT TO COMBAT OPIOID ABUSE Since 2012, more Americans have died from drug overdose than both traffic accidents and gun violence, and no drug has received more fault than opioids, a powerful drug blamed for the majority of 100 accidental drug-overdose deaths Ventura County experiences annually. In an effort to combat the issue, The Ventura County Behavioral Health Department, in cooperation with the County’s Prescription Drug Abuse and Heroin Workgroup, announced on Oct. 5 that the County of Ventura has received a $935,401 grant under the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Sitebased Program, with federal funding provided by the U.S. Department of Justice to combat opioid misuse. “With this new funding, we will dramatically expand our ability to leverage information from multiple sources — our behavioral health, public health, emergency medical services, medical examiner and public safety data — to analyze trends and target efforts to reduce local impacts,” said Dr. Loretta Denering, division chief for Alcohol and Drug Programs.

Change of plans After the fire, Boccali’s Pumpkin Patch offers fall favorites for Halloween by Kateri Wozny

alloween is just around the corner and the Boccali family is continuing the tradition of selling pumpkins at their pumpkin patch behind the family restaurant in Ojai. The tradition began in 1976 at DeWayne and Marilyn Boccali’s farm in the Upper Ojai Valley. Approximately three acres of pumpkins, squash, gourds and Indian corn are grown and transported to the family’s restaurant on the east end of Ojai. Depending on the size of the pumpkin, prices range from $1 to $50. “I wanted to grow something besides an orchard and thought it was a neat thing to do,” DeWayne said. “Generations of Ojai families have taken their annual family photos at the patch and it has been an annual field trip for the Ojai Valley schools as well.” Visitors to the patch will notice something

missing this year: the daytime hayride and nighttime Haunted Hayrides that began 13 years ago. DeWayne said that hundreds of visitors would enjoy the Haunted Hayride, which featured intricate sets and effects along with zombies and monsters. A campfire would also entertain visitors with stories or acoustic musical performances. “People always looked forward to it,” DeWayne said, “The Haunted Hayride has become an annual tradition for families in the Ojai community and beyond for a night of scary fun.” DeWayne said that the two tractor trailers that were used for the hayrides were destroyed during the Thomas Fire in the early hours on Dec. 5, along with fences, avocado trees, irrigation systems and corrals. DeWayne saved his barn, winery and home by placing sprinklers on the roofs to prevent them from being engulfed in flames. “So many things needed to be repaired, it was overwhelming,” DeWayne said. “In June, the trailers were inspected by a local expert and deemed beyond salvageable.

In 2017, Senate Bill 1 came to be. This legislation, enacted by the state Legislature, increased fuel and vehicle taxes, specifically, a gasoline excise tax by 12 cents per gallon and diesel sales tax by four percent and created a transportation improvement fee ranging from $25 to $175 annually, which raised the cost of vehicle registration. It also added a $100 fee for zero-emission vehicles for model year 2020 or later. The result: $4.4 billion in estimated state taxes, which are constitutionally bound to be

As far as the hayride, plans are already in the works for its return next year. “I’ve been farming for 50 years,” he said. “I would love for it to rain. We need some better-

spent for transportation purposes, with twothirds of revenues allocated for highway and road repairs and the rest for transportation programs such as mass transit. If passed, Proposition 6 would repeal Senate Bill 1 by retroactively requiring the state legislature to receive voter approval for new or increased taxes on the sale, storage, use or consumption of gasoline or diesel fuel, as well as for any taxes regarding operating vehicles on public highways. The effective date would be Jan. 1, 2017, thus negating Senate Bill 1. On Oct. 5, the Ventura County Transportation Commission Programming Director Peter De Haan recommended opposing Proposition 6 in a memo, noting that Prop. 6 would require voter approval for “motorist-related

taxes or fee” increases, “something that has happened only once in the past century,” citing Proposition 111 in 1990. According to Haan, over the next five years, Ventura County would receive $120 million for road maintenance and repairs across its 10 cities; $69 million to fund the Rice Avenue bridge project in Oxnard; $25 million for transit operations and maintenance; and $3 million for bicycle and pedestrian projects. Haan also notes that the county would benefit from statewide projects funded by SB1. Ventura Mayor Neal Andrews says that several local projects would be put in jeop-

Its inhabitants include various retail entities, from garment and shoe shops to a bead store and art purveyors. In the back, across from the morbid curiosity, Ventura’s Little Shop of Horrors, is the Attic Trunk. Inside, for over 15 years, Jacqueline “Jackie” Wortman kept her shop full of all things vintage fashion. “I’m very fussy about what I put in here. About 80 percent of what I buy is made in America, and from prior to 1970,” Wortman, aka Mama J, told the VCReporter in “Hats off to vintage,” Dec. 15, 2015. In front of the Attic Trunk now are a series of tributes after her passing on Oct. 3. For those who ventured down the unusual shopping cor-

AERIE

ALL ALONG THE

Peregrine falcons make a comeback on the Channel Islands

PHOTOS AND STORY BY CHUCK GRAHAM

t was a good old-fashioned dustup. Throngs of western gulls in a cacophony of keow, keow, keowing carried on over guano-covered Scorpion Rock near the southeast end of Santa Cruz Island, the largest isle at the Channel Islands National Park, but something was amiss while I watched with intrigue from my kayak. There was one bird, not gull-like, that was definitely stirring the pot. It was a peregrine falcon wreaking havoc among the agitated flock of gulls. The fastest-flying bird in the world was in full

predatory mode. It was June, nesting season for western gulls and their hungry, helpless chicks that were left dawdling out in the open. Sure enough,

there was the peregrine taking its pick of the unaware. With its wings tucked in and reaching speeds north of 200 mph, it doesn’t take much for a peregrine to finish off a fuzzy western gull chick in an all-out dive.

What the peregrine underestimated, however, was the reaction it

got from all the other gulls on Scorpion Rock. I was able to count at least 10 gulls attacking and chasing the peregrine. They eventually forced the raptor to drop its prey in a plume of dust, but what the gulls overlooked was that this peregrine wasn’t alone. While the initial peregrine hid from all the gulls underneath a deep, knobby alcove, its partner in crime swooped in out of nowhere and grabbed the bedraggled chick, flying it off to its sheer, cliffside aerie. “They’re hard to watch in the field,” said biologist Peter Sharpe of the Institute for Wildlife Studies (IWS), who has been integral in the recovery of bald eagles and peregrines alike on the Channel Islands. “They feed almost entirely on birds.”

PEREGRINES BY THE NUMBERS

There was a time when all eight California Channel Islands had peregrine falcons, but by 1955 they had vanished. Montrose Chemical Corporation was the company that developed dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, or DDT, pesticides. From 1947 to 1971, Montrose had dumped 1,800 metric tons of DDT into the ocean near Santa Catalina Island. By 1972 there was a total ban on DDT in the U.S., but the damage had already been done. The chemicals worked their way through the food web and by 1970 the peregrine falcons of North America and the Arctic were listed as endangered. By 1975 there were only 324 known nesting pairs left in America. Just as with bald eagles and California brown pelicans, DDT pesticides forced peregrine numbers to decline to critical lows. Just like those species, peregrine falcons were forced to lay thin-shelled eggs, and those eggs would then get crushed by the parents while in the nest before they could hatch. It wasn’t long before the skies over the islands were absent of what is now the most widely spread predatory bird in the world. In fact, there are 19 subspecies of peregrine falcons in the world, and the only continent where peregrines are not found is Antarctica. In 2002 and after 25 years of litigation, Montrose was courtordered to pay $140 million with at least $30 million going toward the recovery of natural resources like the return of peregrines to the Channel Islands. Aggressive captive breeding of peregrine falcons began in 1974 with 6,000 falcons being released. Currently there are 3,000 breeding pairs in the wild, spread out among Canada, the United States and Mexico. In the 1980s, 37 captive-bred peregrine falcons were released across the Channel Islands. “Since 1992-93, eggshell thinning has lessened almost each year,” continued Sharpe. “The current population exceeds the predicted historic levels.”

SURVEY SAYS

Recovery efforts for peregrine falcons also involve a lot of groundwork, so some of that $30 million goes toward surveying potential habitat. Certainly, the habitat is there, but locating occupants is another matter. “It’s hard to get around,” explained Sharpe, referring to the Channel Islands’ craggy coastlines, unpredictable winds and currents in the open ocean and their steep, rocky marine terraces on land. “There’s a lot of footwork, boat surveys.” When looking for peregrine falcons one usually hears them before seeing them. There’s no denying their calls of kak, kak, kakking. Once that’s been confirmed there’s a thorough scan with binoculars and hopefully the discovery of an aerie — their concealed nest site set high up on a cliff face and out of the wind is revealed. Peregrines are large, powerfully built birds of prey about the size of a crow. With a black hood, blue-black upperparts and creamy white chin, throat and underparts, they are finely barred from the breast to the tail. The long, tapered wings have a straight trailing edge in flight and the tail is relatively short. The eyering is yellow, with the heavy bill also yellow, tipped black. The females are 25 percent larger than the males. Their multitude of colors allow them to blend in well with their rugged surroundings. Peregrine means “wanderer” in Latin. Many peregrines travel over 15,000 miles in a given year. Fortunately, the peregrines on the Channel Islands enjoy their open ocean environment. There are plenty of species of seabirds to keep them occupied. There are at least 17 nesting pairs on mountainous Santa Cruz Island, the most biodiverse isle off the California Coast. Windswept Santa Rosa Island has at least eight breeding pairs. There may be as many as four nesting pairs on narrow Anacapa Island and three nesting pairs on tiny Santa Barbara Island. At this time, it’s not known what the numbers are on San Miguel Island. “When surveying, you’re relying on their sound and flying,” said Sharpe. “Typical surveys last for four hours. If they just sit there they are almost impossible to spot.”

So when peregrines are making it tough for biologists to locate them, Sharpe and Nate Melling, a field supervisor for the bald eagle/peregrine falcon project for IWS, enhance their surveys by playing back peregrine calls. They play the calls for a minute and then wait. Over time they’ve been rewarded with a 58 percent response rate. “It’s a very effective technique,” explained Sharpe. “Then we try to locate a nest or a depression in an alcove. It’s tough to see the chicks so we look for behavioral changes in adults.” Once the aerie is located, Sharpe and Melling attempt to band as many of the chicks as they can.

BAND ON THE RUN

The live peregrine cam supplied by www.explore.org, a high-end web cam revealing the everyday lives of peregrines during the breeding and nesting season, is an up-close look into the behavioral traits of these magnificent raptors. This is the first completely natural peregrine webcam not on a building ledge. In early May 2018, the cam had revealed three healthy chicks in the aerie not venturing any farther than their lofty ledge overlooking the east end of the Santa Barbara Channel from the north side of Anacapa Island. Then, not long after, during one gloomy May Gray morning, the cam revealed only two fuzzy white chicks. Peregrine falcons aren’t the only birds tending to their nests on Anacapa Island. Western gulls dominate the windswept isle and will take advantage of any opportunity when it comes to a meal. Apparently while the peregrine parents were away, an adult western gull had raided the aerie, nabbing one of the unattended chicks. It was a fearless move to say the least, but not surprising considering that these are foes inhabiting the same island. “We don’t really know how common that behavior is in our area — one reason the camera is so cool,” said Melling. “But predation of young nestlings is generally not super uncommon. Ravens are common culprits. On the mainland, great horned owls are known predators of various raptor nestlings. Given the sheer density of gulls on Anacapa, it would be reasonable to assume that such predation by gulls is not incredibly uncommon. They are pretty opportunistic foragers.” The Vanguard plowed through choppy, northwest seas out of the Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. I was fortunate enough to be tagging along with Sharpe and Melling on a peregrine banding out on wave-battered Anacapa Island. Typically, they band peregrine chicks at 18-20 days of age. After climbing the steep staircase on East Anacapa Island, we walked toward Inspiration Point on the north side of the island. From there we dropped over the edge of a steep cliff on the leeward side of a sheltered cove. Immediately the peregrine parents began divebombing us, and on several occasions passing within a couple of arms’ reach of us. The chicks had wedged themselves as far back as they could in the rear of their cliffside aerie, but Melling deftly removed each bird for its exam. Once in hand, the chicks were

placed in a sack to calm them down. Once both chicks were secured, Sharpe and Melling worked efficiently and swiftly to band the birds. A silver band has a number on it that will never be used by another bird. “It can only be read if the bird is in hand,” said Sharpe. “We need more banded birds out there.” They also extract blood, measure and weigh the cotton balllike chicks. Melling gently held each chick so Sharpe could take blood. Blood was taken to do genetics and check for any contaminants. Another vital source of information is the removal of egg shells and remnants of prey items from the aerie. Current egg shells are measured for thickness and compared with pre-DDT shells. Prey items are collected to see what these raptors are eating. Other peregrine nests on the Channel Islands have revealed 74 species of birds, including remains of Cassin’s auklets, pigeon guillemots, red-necked pharalope, western gulls and house finches. One interesting item in the aerie on the north side of Anacapa Island was the whole egg of a Scripp’s murrelet, a small, nocturnal seabird that breeds and nests on the

Channel Islands. Apparently one of the peregrine parents had killed and brought the tiny seabird to the aerie where the pregnant bird was devoured but somehow the egg was left intact.

CHANCE ENCOUNTER

After Sharpe and Melling finished their work with the peregrine chicks on the north side of Anacapa Island, we walked on the outer edge of the southside of the isle. The two sides are less than a mile apart. Suddenly a swoosh from above; it was peregrine in a full dive. A big swoop and then it flapped its wings furiously only to be met by its mate in midair. Was there an active aerie nearby? Sharpe and Melling were scanning with their binoculars, watching for behavioral traits in the potential parents. The two biologists peered over several precarious cliff edges searching for an aerie, but nothing materialized. We did manage to get some photos of the adults and noticed that at least one of the peregrines had a band on its leg. It was time to catch the boat back to Oxnard. After a day trip on East Anacapa Island, Island Packers is always good for taking visitors to the south side of the island to see seals and sea lions hauled out on the wave-battered rocks, but we went a little farther as Captain Jason allowed us to look for the new peregrine aerie. The sheer cliffs were honeycombed with potential sites, but the two adult peregrine falcons were nowhere to be found and we couldn’t hear their calls over the boat’s motor. Suddenly, Melling called out while looking through his binoculars and pointing toward the 300-foot-tall cliffs. “There it is, just to the right of the big rock with all the bird crap on it.” Sure enough, there was a fuzzy, white peregrine chick teetering on the edge of its aerie. It was certainly bigger than the other chicks at the previous aerie and it had some coloring on its wings already, an older nestling peering out over the ocean. At six weeks it will be ready to fledge, and hopefully one day soon it will establish its own territory on the Channel F Islands.

Comic relief

Brad Williams will riff on anything but politics at Oxnard’s Levity Live by Carl Kozlowski

rad Williams has overcome a lot to become a big shot in the comedy world. The Orange County native was born with achondroplasia, a condition associated with dwarfism, and learned to hone a razor-sharp wit early in life as a means of saving himself from beatdowns by bullies and to gain popularity with his peers. That childhood training has paid off bigtime in his adulthood, as he has spent the past decade soaring through the ranks of the standup comedy world, ascending from his start as a daredevil sidekick to comic Carlos Mencia on the Comedy Central series Mind of Mencia to starring in two of his own Showtime specials: Fun Size and Daddy Issues. His topics go well beyond riffs on his size to include deeper stories from his life in addition to tackling issues of family, race and child rearing in today’s society. But one thing that audiences won’t see when he plays the Levity Live Comedy Club in Oxnard this weekend is a heavy dose of currentevents comedy. Williams believes that audiences are saturated with poisonous partisanship, and he promises to deliver a healthy antidote of just plain funniness throughout his six-show run from Thursday through Sunday. “I try to avoid politics, because we’re getting enough of that in every walk of life, every single area, with late-night talk show hosts, 10 — — October 18, 2018

athletes, and everyone’s like ‘My voice must be heard,’ ” says Williams, speaking from a tour stop in Erie, Pennsylvania. “No, some shouldn’t be. You have every right in this country to speak out against whatever you want to, but people kind of forget that freedom of speech means you have the right not to respond.” “I’ll fight for your rights but I cannot buy your album, see your movie, go to your comedy show or buy your clothing,” adds Williams. “Trump was literally here two days ago having a rally. I talked to some people after the show, with some Trump supporters and haters. There’s good people in all walks and bad in all walks of life. If you come to my show, you’ll be able to forget that stuff just for an evening. I will let you be free.” One thing that vexes Williams presently is the current wave of emotional support animals sweeping the nation. While he recognizes the genuine need by some for a dog that can soothe frayed psyches, some of the more outré examples are starting to get on his last nerve. “I don’t have a lot of pet peeves, but I’m not a fan of fake emotional support animals,” says Williams. “There was a story just now in the news of a woman with an emotional support squirrel who got kicked off a plane. She says she’ll sue and own the airline. I say great! Own the airline, then get on board with all the other fakes and have the pilot send it right into a mountain.” Williams scored his big break when he was

an audience member at a Carlos Mencia show at the Brea Improv in 2006. Mencia was “making midget jokes” and noticed that much of the audience wasn’t laughing. When the controversial comic asked the audience if “one of them” was there, Williams “raised my creepy little hand in the air and said ‘Hey dude, what’s up?’ ” Mencia brought Williams onstage to answer questions, and he proved to be an instant hit. He soon began a long and lucrative run with Mencia, including three seasons on the Comedy Central sketch series Mind of Mencia, which took pride in being as politically incorrect as possible and lasted three seasons. When the show ended in 2008, Williams was an instant headliner and never looked back. “I could have quit many times after many bad sets when I was learning during Mind,” recalls Williams. “My parents threatened me that I had to go back to college or they’d cut me out of the will. I said OK and kept doing comedy. If you wanna be successful you have to be all in, be poor, be booed and bomb and go through horrible experiences. That’s what you have to do. And I’ve done it and come through the other side.” ✦ Brad Williams performs Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 18-21, at Levity Live Comedy Club, 591 Collection Drive, Oxnard.

Reflecting on the past, looking toward the future with Coco Montoya

by L. Kent Wolgamott for Last Word Features

ore than 40 years after he joined Albert Collins’ band as a drummer, Coco Montoya says he’s got two good reasons for continually going out on tour. “The love of music is it,” he said in a recent phone interview. “Plus, that’s what I do to make a living. That’s a couple great incentives to hit the road.” The music is blues — and, like his mentor Collins, guitarist Montoya plays it with bite and verve. That can be heard all over Hard Truth, his eighth studio album released last

year on Alligator Records. The songs on Hard Truth, all variations on the blues, range from funky to gospel-drenched and include a steely take on Collins’ “The Moon Is Full.” “I always take a good look at his catalog to see if there’s a song I want to do,” Montoya said. “His music is very valid and important to the blues. If I can do justice to the song, I look to put it on the record. If it happens, it happens.” For Montoya, the Collins connection is more than just an appreciation for the music

of the artist who was known as the “Master of the Telecaster.” Montoya, who started out playing guitar then switched to drums, got the call to join Collins after he’d loaned his drums to the band for a Los Angeles gig. In joining the group, he found more than just his first job as a professional musician. “Everything is what I got from him, not just musically, teaching me how to live on the road,” Montoya said. “We were very close, a father-and-son-type thing. I was a very young man when I first went out on the road with him. He kind of watched over me and educated me.” After leaving Collins’ band during the

downturn for blues in the early 1980s, Montoya was working as a bartender, figuring that his days as a professional musician were over. But one day he was jamming in a Los Angeles bar when British bluesman John Mayall walked in. Montoya quickly played a Mayall song as a tribute and soon thereafter got a call from the man himself, who was looking for a guitarist to join his reformed Bluesbreakers. Montoya filled the guitar slot in the band that had been previously occupied by Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. In 1993, Montoya, who, along with fellow Bluesbreakers guitarist Walter Trout, often opened the band’s shows, decided to go solo. Three years later he won the Blues Music Award for Best New Artist in 1996, the year after he released his debut album, Gotta Mind to Travel. Consistently making records, the left-handed guitarist had his biggest seller in 2000, with his Alligator debut “Suspicion,” and he’s continued to be a mainstay at festivals and on the blues circuit for three decades. Fittingly, Montoya began a tour the day Hard Truth was released. Now his sets are filled with songs from the new disc. “That’s the idea, you tour to support the record,” he said. “We want to play as many as we can off the album. We’re playing quite a few songs now. Everything has been real positive. It seems to be going over well.” Montoya says he’s starting to see some younger faces at his shows alongside the older faces of those who discovered the blues in the ’60s and ’70s. That, he said, is good for the future of the blues. “Like everybody else who plays roots music and blues, we’re hoping for rediscovery by youth,” he said. “They’re the people who get up and go out and see music. I think that’s very possible. . . . It’s starting to make movements toward that. It’s new to them and the pop thing’s getting tired. They’re starting to rediscover it. It’s a good place to be.” And he’s hoping that some of the young people will follow in his footsteps as well, taking inspiration from the music they hear coming on stage to decide they want to play the blues — just as Montoya did after seeing Albert King in the late 1960s You’ve got to pass it along,” he said. “Once I’ve gone, somebody else has to do it. I don’t think that’s changed. You learn from the people before you and hopefully pass it along.” F Hi Hat Entertainment presents Coco Montoya on Friday, Oct. 19, at 8 p.m. at the Hong Kong Inn, 435 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura.

Camarillo’s Local Music Conference aims to eduacte artists in the modern-day music industry by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

ock City Studios in Camarillo will host its first Local Music Conference on Oct. 20. Its aim: to give musicians, students, and entertainment professionals insight into making the most of the ever-changing musical land-

scape. Ann DeMartini, CEO of Rock City Studios, says that part of the goal of the conference is to “educate and solve problems on the local level. Owing to the ‘Netflix and chill’ attitude and dating apps, getting people out to shows is harder than ever. Educating the public on the importance of maintaining an all-ages venue and supporting up-and-coming artists locally is a challenge.”

Another big challenge facing today’s musicians, according to DeMartini, is the preponderance of digital platforms and social media marketing. “Today’s emerging artists need to conquer several different tasks besides creating the next big hit song,” DeMartini explains. “They are expected to be social media gurus, to have a story or a cause, to be website designers and know how to get their songs digitally distributed, among other things.” Which is why conference organizers invited Nashville-based digital marketing expert Garrison Snell, CEO of Gyrosity. Joining him will be attorney Daniel Novick, who will speak on music licensing, intellectual property laws and the new Music Modernization Act, concerned with modernizing copyright-related issues. The conference will also include a moderated panel with local music industry players, a talk by Rock City Studios co-own-

er and general manager Brett DeCarlo and Rival Sons drummer Michael Miley, who will share his world-tour experiences. The conference takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the $25 fee includes lunch. Attendance is limited to 85 for this event, but DeMartini hopes it will be the first of many. “We are hoping to make the conference an annual or even a semi-annual event,” she explains. “We want to expand everyone’s knowledge of music in hopes that Ventura County can be known for the amazing amount of talented, knowledgeable and selfaware musicians that we see each day.” F The Local Music Conference takes place on Saturday, Oct. 20, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Rock City Studios, 2258 Pickwick Dr., Camarillo.

What First Man reveals is an astronaut of extreme focus, competence and bravery, who was processing tragedy, both private and public. It is a biopic that is as centered and At spare as the man himself, its width and breadth as stark and beautiful as that lunar surface. It is in my opinion the best film of 2018, to date. A tale of triumph with a vestige of sadness. Dazzlingly directed by Damien Chazelle (La La Land) 4601 Telephone Rd., and adapted for the screen by the gifted Josh Singer Suite 113 (Spotlight, The Post) from James R. Hansen’s biography of Armstrong, First Man captures your attention from Ventura, CA 93003 its opening seconds, when you’re in the cockpit of Armstrong’s X-15, scraping the edge of the atmosphere in 1961. The viewer stays riveted, engrossed for almost two and a half hours. It’s as if the film lifts off and hurtles 24 — — October 18, 2018

like the Saturn V rocket itself. Ryan Gosling embodies Armstrong as much as portrays him. All that the astronaut endures — losing his young daughter to cancer, the deaths of fellow astronauts and a terrifying close call aboard his first space flight, as commander of Gemini 8 — is painted in Gosling’s eyes and etched in the measurement of his voice. He is masterful. As is Claire Foy as Armstrong’s wife, Janet. Pain and love and fear streak her face. Her performance is powerful. The rest of the cast is peerless. Kyle Chandler plays Deke Slayton, a former Mercury astronaut grounded by a heart murmur, now chief of flight crews. Corey Stoll is the brash Buzz Aldrin. Jason Clarke and Patrick Fugit are Ed White and Elliott See, doomed astronauts who were Armstrong’s closest friends during Project Gemini. First Man is not just the story of the first man to walk on the moon. It is also a paean to courage, a celebration of an epoch, a tale about an American dream that came to fruition in spite of tragic setbacks such as the fire in Apollo 1’s capsule that took White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee in 1967, and being repeatedly beaten, at the outset, by Soviet cosmonauts, who achieved milestones such as the first manned orbit of the planet, the first woman in space and the first spacewalk. The movie is spellbinding. Beautifully photographed by Linus Sandgren, with astounding CGI and a soundtrack by Justin Hurwitz that’s striking and sanguine, with a few well-placed notes of melancholy. Whether you were a space geek like I was as a kid, rising early to watch liftoffs or splashdowns on TV, you’ll find this film unique in its genre. First Man makes your heart pound and touches it almost simultaneously. We forgive Neil Armstrong that he was reticent to capitalize on his worldwide fame. That was not who he was. He was the right man with the right temperament and, yes, the Right Stuff, to be the First Man. This movie is a monument to Armstrong and to fantastic filmmaking. ♦

pizza crust super-thin, Sicilian style. That would be me — it’s in my blood since I’m half Sicilian. In days past, you had to go to Sicily or New York for this style pizza. Others prefer a thick crust or deep dish, Chicago style. That would be the person I had lunch with at the recently remodeled Fratelli’s Pizza & Brew in Ventura Harbor Village.

At another table, we ogled a Millennial/GenX couple’s array of appetizers: garlic knots (small hot rolls made from pizza dough with a marinara dipping sauce); hot wings, fried artichokes and Brussels sprouts served in a small iron skillet. The nice couple — he’s a local pastor; she’s busy raising their four small children — invited us to try their least favorite, the fried artichoke. I love artichokes, and probably liked them better than they did. They noted a person could get hot wings anywhere. I went back another day and tried what the couple had noted was their favorite by a long shot: the Brussels sprouts, fried and served with bacon, Parmesan cheese and a honey drizzle. I am happy with the flavor of just

plain roasted Brussels sprouts and found the honey drizzle unnecessary, but I’d order this fave veggie prepared just about any which way it’s served. I sampled another one of the half-dozen appetizers, hearty, chewy and rather rich garlic baked clams served in the shell with bacon, breadcrumbs, garlic, sherry, horseradish and whole grain mustard. Salads as an entree, or best shared, are served in large metal salad bowls. There’s house, Caesar, antipasto, chopped (with chicken, bacon, salami and everything but the kitchen sink), sesame salmon and a spinach and goat cheese salad. Sandwiches with house-made potato chips include meatball, cheese steak, Italian sub, pastrami, a garden burger and ham and cheese. For my money, my favorite item was Fratelli’s hearty pozole verde ($7.50/bowl); a side of carnitas can be added for two bucks more. The clear broth with a nice greenchili kick was filled with hominy. Add the sides of fresh cabbage, chopped radishes, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon, and you’ve got a great fall or winter dish. If you have a sweet tooth, there’s a cookie dough sundae or New York cheesecake for desert. Fratelli’s has good reviews on YELP (with an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars). Formerly known as Milano’s, the harborside business was purchased by the folks who own Brophy’s (upstairs). They’ve spent the past few months redoing the interior. It’s “order and pay at the counter” — your food is delivered to your table. The overall feeling is fresh and modern: concrete floors and a nice wrap-around full bar in the main dining room with large-screen TVs for sports fans. There’s also an enclosed patio dining section with comfortable booths and picture-window views of the harbor as well as an outdoor dining patio with a fireplace and lovely views. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the brewskis. After all, the place is called Fratelli’s Pizza & Brew. I like beer, but am not an aficionado. There are half a dozen on tap and a cider; a limited wine by the glass list and a full bar with specialty cocktails. What’s not to like about an affordable nosh with harbor views? Whether you choose to dine solo (the bar is a good spot), à deux (there are small tables) or with a big crowd (super-long wooden tables on the patio can seat 12), Fratelli’s is a most welcome addition to Ventura Harbor. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Jenny from the flock I hit it off with this guy I met on Match.com. We’ve been dating for a month and slept together twice. He said he’d delete his Match profile because things were going so well, so I deleted mine. Recently, a mutual friend told me he’d just gone on Tinder. I’m super upset, and though we didn’t have the exclusivity talk, it seemed implied. — Dumbfounded OK, so it seems he didn’t quite get around to mailing out the formal invitations to the funeral for his freedom. Now, the guy may be an out-andout lying cad, cooing commitment-y things to you that he never intended to follow through on. However, it’s also possible that he was legit enthusiastic in that moment when he offered to delete Match — confusing the buzzy high of a love thing that’s

by amy alkon brand-new with a love thing that’s really right. Neuroscientist Wolfram Schultz discovered that things that are new to us — people, relationships, pleasureproducing substances — activate our brain’s reward circuitry and its chemical messenger boy, dopamine, in a way things we’re used to do not. (That very first bite of chocolate cake is always the tastiest, most chocogasmic.) In fact, Schultz’s research suggests that “novel rewards” may be two to three times more dopamine-elevating than delishy stuff we’ve previously experienced. Basically, once we’ve tried something, even if we really, really enjoyed it the first time (hot diggity!), it becomes less motivating to us (kinda lukewarm diggity). This motivational downshift comes out of how dopamine neurons are, in a sense, fortuneteller cells; they predict how rewarding things or situations will be. Dopamine, contrary to what countless books and articles contend, is not a “pleasure chemical.” It does not generate a heroin rush-type euphoria. It’s stimulating. It drives wanting and seeking, motivating us to explore new stuff that might enhance our ability to pass on our genes.

‘‘

After dopamine calculates the difference between the initial high a thing gave us when it was new and its current level of more meh rewardingness, it can push us to go out and chase the initial high — seek some new provider, and then another and another: “Sure, I could have a stable adult relationship — or I could continue my groundbreaking research into The Tramp Stamps Of Tinder.” This is not an excuse for this guy’s lack of forthcomingness but a possible explanation for why he said he’d delete Match but then signed right

judge his character, see whether he’s boyfriend-grade, and see whether there’s, uh, brand loyalty. You should be just starting to see who he is and reserving judgment — much as you’d like to believe that he’s a wild dude seeking domestication, kind of like a lion knocking on the door of the zoo: “Got any vacancies, chief ?”

Girl loves oy I’m a woman who wants a serious relationship, and a happily married friend is urging me to go on Jdate. I’m not Jewish and not interested in converting. Wouldn’t people be mad I’m on there? —HusbandSeeking

Basically, once we’ve tried something, even if we really, really enjoyed it the first time (hot diggity!), it becomes less motivating to us (kinda lukewarm diggity). up for Tinder. It’s also possible the powerful human fear of regret is at play. Going exclusive with you would mean waving bye-bye to the rest of womankind. It’s possible that he and his penis feel the need for a second opinion. The problem from your end is that your wanting to go exclusive with him is the dating version of the impulse purchase. A month in, you don’t have enough information to

Men on Far mersOnly would be understandably annoyed if I posted a profile there, as my idea of farming is keeping a houseplant alive for more than a year. But this site is called Jdate, not JewsOnly. Sure, some will be annoyed to find a nice non-Jewish girl like you there, but there are others — like atheists from Jewish backgrounds and not-very-observant Jews — who might not find it a deal breaker. Uh, that is, until they register the reality of inviting mom, dad and bubbe over

for Christmakkah. Cognitive neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga estimates that 98 percent of our brain’s activity is subconscious — including some of our decision-making. A man seeking a relationship can have his short-term mating standards triggered without his knowing it while going through women’s profiles online. Not exactly surprisingly, evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt find men in short-term mode are prone to lowering the bar on “their mate preference standards ... across an array of mate qualities, including personality, intelligence and even attractiveness.” Religion is surely one of these. Recognize this risk from being on Jdate as a non-J. If you do end up dating a Jewish guy, do your best, as early as possible, to suss out whether questions like “But what religion will the children be?” would lead to his ultimately following the advice of poet Dylan, uh, Thomasenstein: “Do not go gentile into that good night.” (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Humraaz is a word in the Urdu language. Its literal meaning is “secret sharer.” It refers to a confidante, a person in whom you have full trust and to whom you can confess your core feelings. Is there such a character in your life? If so, seek him or her out for assistance in probing into the educational mysteries you have waded into. If there is no such helper you can call on, I advise you to do whatever’s necessary to attract him or her into your sphere. A collaborative quest may be the key to activating sleeping reserves of your soul wisdom.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Taurus author Roberto Bolaño suggests that the world contains more beauty than many people realize. The full scope and intensity of this nourishing beauty “is only visible to those who love.” When he speaks of “those who love,” I suspect he means deep-feeling devotees of kindness and compassion, hard-working servants of the greater good, and free-thinking practitioners of the Golden Rule. In any case, Taurus, I believe you’re in a phase when you have the potential to see far more of the world’s beauty. For best results, supercharge your capacity to give and receive love.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Once upon a time you were walking along a sidewalk when a fairy floated by and whispered, “I’m willing to grant you three wishy-washy wishes for free. You don’t have to do any favors for me in return. But I will grant you three wonderfully wise wishes if you perform three tasks for me.” You asked the fairy, “What would those three tasks be?” She replied, “The second task is that you must hoodwink the devil into allowing you to shave his hairy legs. The third task is that you must bamboozle God into allow-

ing you to shave his bushy beard.” You laughed and said, “What’s the first task?” The fairy touched you on the nose with her tiny wand and said, “You must believe that the best way to achieve the impossible is to attempt the absurd.”

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

You Crabs tend to be the stockpilers and hoarders of the zodiac. The world’s largest collections of antique door knobs and Chinese restaurant menus and beer cans from the 1960s belong to Cancerian accumulators. But in alignment with possibilities hinted at by current astrological omens, I recommend that you redirect this inclination so it serves you better. How? One way would be to gather supplies of precious stuff that’s really useful to you. Another way would be to assemble a batch of blessings to bestow on people and animals who provide you with support.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Chinese mythology tells us that there used to be 10 suns, all born from the mother goddess Xi He. Every 24 hours, she bathed her brood in the lake and placed them in a giant mulberry tree. From there, one sun glided out into the sky to begin the day while the other nine remained behind. It was a good arrangement. The week had ten days back then, and each sun got its turn to shine. But the siblings eventually grew restless with the staid rhythm. On one fateful morning, with a playful flourish, they all soared into the heavens at once. It was fun for them, but the earth grew so hot that nothing would grow. To the rescue came the archer Hou Yi. With his flawless aim, he used his arrows to shoot down nine of the suns, leaving one to provide just the right amount of light and warmth. The old tales don’t tell us, but I speculate that Hou Yi was a Leo.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You now have maximum command of a capacity that’s a great strength but also a potential liability: your piercing brainpower. To help ensure that you wield this asset in ways that empower you and don’t sabotage you, here’s advice from four wise Virgos. 1. “Thought can organize the world so well that you are no longer able to see it.” — psychotherapist Anthony de Mello 2. “Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” — poet Mary Oliver 3. “I like to wake up each morning and not know what I think, that I may reinvent myself in some way.” — actor and writer Stephen Fry 4. “I wanted space to watch things grow.” — singer Florence Welch

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

taining diversion with no useful application. In fact, I suspect it will have the potential of inspiring good ideas about love, career, money or power. If I had to give the next chapter of your life story a title, it might be “A Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Practical Magic.”

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

In 1962, when she was 31 years old, Sagittarian actress Rita Moreno won an Academy Award for her role in the film West Side Story. In 2018, she attended the Oscars again, sporting the same dress she’d worn for the ceremony 56 years before. I think the coming weeks will be a great time for you, too, to reprise a splashy event or two from the past. You’ll generate soul power by reconnecting with your roots. You’ll tonify and harmonize your mental health by establishing a symbolic link with your earlier self.

“There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time,” wrote Libran author Oscar Wilde. “The reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised; for the question often arrives a long time after the answer.” That’s the weird news, Libra. You have been waiting and waiting to understand a project that you set in motion many moons ago. It has been frustrating to give so much energy to a goal that has sometimes confused you. But here’s the good news: Soon you will finally formulate the question your project has been the answer to. And so at last you will understand it. You’ll feel vindicated, illuminated and resolved.

The Committee to Reward Unsung Good Deeds hereby acknowledges your meritorious service in the trenches of the daily routine. We praise your tireless efforts to make life less chaotic and more coherent for everyone around you. We’re grateful for the patience and poise you demonstrate as you babysit adults who act like children. And we are gratified by your capacity to keep long-term projects on track in the face of trivial diversions and petty complaints. I know it’s a lot to ask, but could you please intensify your vigilance in the next three weeks? We need your steadiness more than ever.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Many seekers who read horoscope columns want common-sense advice about love, career, money and power. So I hope I don’t disappoint you by predicting that you will soon have a mystical experience or spiritual epiphany. Let me add, however, that this delightful surprise won’t merely be an enter-

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You need a special pep talk that’s best provided by Aquarian poet Audre Lorde. Please meditate on these four quotes by her. 1. “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation. 2. “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.” 3. “You cannot use someone

else’s fire. You can only use your own. To do that, you must first be willing to believe you have it.” 4. “Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.” 5. “The learning process is something you can literally incite, like a riot.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Warning: My horoscopes may interfere with your ability to rationalize your delusions; they could extinguish your enthusiasm for clichés; they might cause you to stop repressing urges that you really should express; and they may influence you to cultivate the state of awareness known as “playful wisdom.” Do you really want to risk being exposed to such lavish amounts of inner freedom? If not, you should stop reading now. But if you’re as ripe for emancipating adventures as I think you are, then get started on shedding any attitudes and influences that might dampen your urge to romp and cavort and carouse. Homework: Forget all you know about gratitude. Act as if it’s a new emotion you’re tuning into for the first time. Then let it rip.

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.

LEGAL tion 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 bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
