OPINION geous behavior depends upon the complicity of spineless congressmen who continue to put party above country. Now, that’s what I call being a rat.

Editorial

Throttling back

voiding hypocrisy in one’s own personal life seems like an ultimate goal. Contradictory behavior and perspectives cause confusion and frustration and foment lack of trust and dependability. When it comes to politics, however, hypocrisy is par for the course, especially under President Donald Trump. It is duly noted that past presidents have had their own issues with hypocrisy, but looking at the issues of states’ rights, such as gay marriage and abortion, Republicans seem to have found a loophole to ensure the limiting of personal rights by referring to the autonomy of states’ rights. When it comes to offering opportunities to capitalize on unfair policies for the average person, states’ rights take a back seat. For instance, the fight over net neutrality. In the world of commerce, Republicans refer to it as deregulation, call it a free-market value and then block any state’s attempt to protect its residents. On Sunday, Sept. 30, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law strict protections over net neutrality, which would prevent service providers from slowing or blocking certain websites or applications while giving others faster Internet speeds for a fee. In essence, net neutrality allows a somewhat level playing field when it comes to simply accessing websites and applications. Right after Brown signed the law, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to block the law from taking effect. Trump’s cabinet pick, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, justified the DOJ’s lawsuit. California, he said, is “attempting to subvert the Federal Government’s deregulatory approach” to the Internet. “Under the Constitution, states do not regulate interstate commerce — the federal government does. Once again the California legislature has enacted an extreme and illegal state law attempting to frustrate federal policy. The Justice Department should not have to spend valuable time and resources to file this suit today, but we have a duty to defend the prerogatives of the federal government and protect our constitutional order.”

Letters Drank the Kool-Aid

ell, it looks like Paul Moomjean has finally drunk the Kool-Aid (“All the president’s men,” Right Persuasion, Aug. 28). I know that’s a reference that offends some people, referring, as it does, to a horrendous tragedy. I feel OK about it in this context because the consequences of the Trump presidency are so cataclysmic. I gained some respect for Moomjean during the campaign and the earlier part of Trump’s term, calling the Donald out for the weasel that he is. I was so saddened, now, to see him steering us away from removing the president from office. I wondered if he had spoken up as emphatically when Bill Clinton’s impeachment adventures were unfolding, for offenses that pale in comparison to Trump’s daily assaults on truth, integrity and compassion, not to mention competence.

— October 4, 2018

Tom Moore Ojai The companies that stand to gain the most with the repeal of net neutrality have also spent millions to make it happen. According to a Dec. 13, 2017, report by Fastcompany, “Amid Net Neutrality Debate, Biggest ISPs Spent At Least $26.3 Million On Lobbying,” between 2008 and early 2017, the three big internet providers — Verizon, Comcast and AT&T — and their trade organization, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, had spent $572 million lobbying federal lawmakers on subjects that include net neutrality. On the other side, net neutrality supporters included Amazon.com Inc., which spent at least $13 million; Facebook Inc., which spent $11.5 million; and Twitter, which spent $550,000, as reported in “These Companies and Trade Groups Spent Millions Lobbying on Net Neutrality,” a June 11 article published by Law.com. The debate boils down to whether or not the Internet is a utility that everyone has fair access to use. The Federal Communication Commission, since Trump has been in office, has voted to kill net neutrality. Many of those who support Trump also seem to support the idea that net neutrality is unfair to Internet services providers, even if it cripples those same supporters’ ability to do e-trade or even access websites. It’s hard to know exactly when the Department of Justice will allow autonomy to one state that doesn’t agree with federal policies and practices and when it will fight a state that contradicts it. The outcome of this twofaced approach to federal and state policies? More agitation and distrust between the two parties and the people. For those who voted for Trump simply to stir things up, the muck is certainly out in the open now. But what will the people learn from this drama and persistent battle of wills? Is this ongoing civil combat healthy? It seems as though no matter which way this country goes, from red to blue and back to red and then blue again, the premise of unity of the United States seems to be more and more far-fetched.

Reading Paul’s derisive comments about rats also makes me wonder if he thinks the country’s interests would have been better served if that rat John Dean had chosen to continue to cover for President Nixon to avoid the inconvenience of his leaving office before completing his term. Meanwhile, I am imagining Nixon turning in his grave, seeing the Republicans turn a bind eye to behavior that might have gotten Nixon tarred and feathered. This business about rats I find especially galling, as I am sure there are any number of criminals, inside the government and out, who were only brought to justice by turning a witness to cooperate with the prosecution. Can Moomjean really think that testifying for the prosecution is worse that seeing a dangerous criminal go free? I think we should all regularly revisit the [older] videos of Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, among others, vilifying Donald Trump, along with more current clips of them excusing his recurrent outrageous behavior. This outra-

Irony, anyone? For months Casitas Municipal Water District candidate Angelo Spandrio has blanketed social media platforms with his, often unfair and misleading, posts criticizing the District and its management of water resources. His supporters have touted this as a hallmark of his accessibility. One of his loudest criticisms is, in fact, that CMWD is not responsive to public input. Ironically, I have now joined a growing number of his potential constituents who have been prevented from engaging in a dialogue with him about water issues because he has selectively blocked me from commenting on his, otherwise, public Ojai Water News Facebook page. Others he has “blocked” outright so that they cannot see or comment on his frequent posts. This practice of silencing the public will not serve him well as a candidate and will prove disastrous should he be elected. What did I ask that was so provocative as to warrant blocking? I asked for his plan (particularly strategies and actions that were not already initiated by CMWD) and what his position is on compliance with federal and state laws that regulate diversions. Is that too much to ask of a candidate? Since I wrote this letter originally, Angelo Spandrio, rather ungraciously, unblocked me, saying: “At the request of Suza Francina I’m unblocking you from this page.” Then he implored me to “please, don’t say again ‘What is your plan, Angelo??!!.’ Good grief, it’s two months before the election.” Afterward he scrubbed all his Ojai Water News videos from FB and disabled that page. I am concerned that a candidate for public office who rose to notoriety for asking questions of CMWD should feel so threatened by potential voters doing the same to him.

Somewhere Jerry Falwell is smiling about Bert and Ernie by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

Back when Falwell wrote his article on the “gay agenda,” he was met with harsh criticism: “Jerry Falwell’s paranoia about gay people has reached a new and ludicrous high-water mark,” said David Smith of the Human Rights Campaign. “As farcical as it may sound, Falwell’s latest ranting has serious consequences.” While the Teletubbies debate moved on, the latest Bert and Ernie story gives validity to the idea that

1999 the Rev. Jerry Falwell was mocked and ridiculed when he claimed in his National Liberty Journal that the ‘Teletubbies,’ a television program for children under the age of 3, was “modeling the gay life style’’ through the character Tinky Winky. “The character, whose voice is obviously that of a boy, has been found carrying a red purse,” wrote Falwell. “He is purple — the gay pride color; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle — the gay pride symbol.” Falwell, a pompous evangelical pastor who helped usher in the Moral Majority in 1980s America, wrote a lot of bombastic critiques of American popular culwriters do have agendas, which was the point ture and over-the-top rhetoric about homosexuFalwell was trying to make, however judgmental als and their lifestyle choices.

Show me the money Thomas Fire victims still in need while area nonprofits continue to distribute funds by Michael Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

t’s been 10 months since the Thomas Fire destroyed over 500 homes in Ventura. A month later, the Montecito mudslide devastated that small community. Since then, fundraisers and donations to benefit victims of the fire and mudslide have brought in millions of dollars, but still many Thomas fire victims are feeling left out. On Aug. 27, the Ventura County Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit focused on affordable housing issues, opened an application filing period for victims of the fire and mudslide to receive a $1,000 grant per household until a $65,000 grant from Wells Fargo was gone. The total grant was $75,000 but $10,000 went to administration costs for the nonprofit. Keily Victoria, administration support manager for the corporation, and Felipe Flores, homeownership program manager, oversaw the filing application period, which, at first, didn’t have a deadline. Due to the response, the filing period closed on Aug. 31. “Extremely overwhelmed,” Victoria said of the response when the filing application period opened. “The first 65 received via email, walk-in, etc., came in less than 24 hours; but in reality it was less [time] than that. It opened on Monday at 10 a.m. and by 6 p.m., we were at 58 applications. It is very important to note, we did not know until Aug. 31 the exact number of applications received.” By Aug. 31, the corporation had received over 200 applications. Applicants who did not get the grant were told that their applications would be held for another round of funding in the future. Fire victims vented their frustrations on social media about how fast the money ran out and that they felt that they were being unfairly denied. “It was never marketed as a grant we could supply everyone,” Victoria said, who noted that basic criteria for approval of the $1,000 grant included direct or indirect impact by the Thomas Fire or mudslide, a current need for funds, current residence in Ventura or Santa Barbara, one application per household, and no Ventura County Community Development Corporation staff or board or their immediate family members. “It’s heartbreaking to see all the stories, [people] exhausted and devastated. I wish we could do so much more,” Flores said. The United Way of Ventura County and the Ventura County Community Foundation have also played significant roles in receiving donations and doling out funds to those in need. The United Way Thomas Fire and Flood Fund received a total of $4.6 million, United Way of Ventura County received $3.5 million, and United Way of Santa Barbara County received $1.1 million. United Way of Ventura County stated in an email exchange: “Thanks to the generosity of a select group of corporate and foundation funders who provided core operating support, 100 percent of the United Way Thomas Fire Fund donations go to those affected.” For United Way of Ventura County, the funding was disbursed in several phases, three phases of particular note and the last, a long-term recovery phase, in the works. According to United Way, Phase I prepaid cards were distributed through American Red Cross for $375,000 (no income limits).

— October 4, 2018

Each prepaid card was for $500 and all went to residents whose homes were destroyed by the Thomas Fire. For Phases II and III, $710,851 has been distributed to date through United Way’s applications for individual hardship assistance and an additional $300,000 to immigrant farm and service workers affected by the fire. (Eligible applicants were Ventura County residents, and household income limits were determined by family size of 120 percent AMI or less.) Phase III continuation distribution: $1,500 per applicant from United Way Thomas Fire and Flood Fund to more than 600 households with homes that were destroyed or significantly damaged, as classified by FEMA and CAL FIRE, which could potentially exceed $1 million. The next phase will address long-term recovery needs. United Way stated, “We will work with the Long-Term Recovery Group and their case management process to assist households who do not have adequate personal resources for basic needs because of the disaster. This includes assessment and verification of need, planning to achieve recovery goals, advocacy and connecting clients with community support. Case Management Committee members include UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Recovery), Salvation Army and Jewish Family Services. $1 million will be available for long-term recovery efforts.” The Ventura County Community Foundation served as a network for other nonprofits, which in turn distributed funds directly to those in need. “100 percent of funds raised have gone and will continue to go directly to our community,” Vanessa Bechtel, executive director of the foundation, wrote in an email. “Thanks to the help of our generous donors, more than $2.8 million has been awarded to our local nonprofits serving those affected by the fire and responding to urgent and mid- to long-term community needs. Approximately $1 million went out in the first three weeks of the Thomas Fire. Approximately $1.2 million of support went out to neighbors in need through the 805 UndocuFund since the start of 2018. “Approximately $500,000 remains to be distributed (some still to be collected from pledges) from the Ventura County Community Disaster Relief Fund and Sudden & Urgent Needs Fund — contributions that were made specifically to provide aid in subsequent Thomas-related disasters and for mid- to long-term support.” To see the full list of the nonprofits that received grants from the Ventura County Community Foundation, go to www.vcreporter. com. It includes the American Red Cross, various Boys & Girls Clubs, Center for Nonprofit Leadership at Cal Lutheran, Channel Islands YMCA, FOOD Share, Habit for Humanity, Interface and United Way of Ventura County. As for the Ventura County Community Development Corporation, Flores said that the nonprofit will report to the donor, Wells Fargo, how the disbursement of funds went, and will be seeking more for the future. ✦ For more information: Ventura County Community Development Corporation, contact Victoria at kvictoria@vccdc.org; for United Way of Ventura County, contact 2-1-1; for Ventura County Community Foundation, contact 805-988-0196 or vccf@vccf.org.

In Brief A WIN FOR SANTA CLARA RIVER STEELHEAD PROTECTIONS

A long court battle has come to an end with a victory for conservation groups arguing that United Water Conservation District’s Vern Freeman Dam has harmed recovery efforts of the endangered steelhead trout in the Santa Clara River. The legal battle, brought by the Wishtoyo Foundation, its Ventura Coatkeeper Program and the Center for Biological Diversity, alleged that the District violated protections set forth by the Endangered Species Act, “clearly causing past, ongoing, and future harm to steelhead as a result of the dam’s barrier to fish movement and diversion of water,” according to Jason Wiener, general counsel and water initiative director for Wishtoyo, and that United “dragged its feet” on working toward finding a solution to the problem. “By eliminating physical barriers to steelhead passage, we are not only protecting an endangered species, but we are also overcoming barriers that have interrupted the continuity of our ancestral traditions,” said Mati Waiya, a ceremonial elder of the Santa Clara River Turtle Clan and executive director of the Wishtoyo Chumash Foundation. “Steelhead hold a central and honored place in our culture. Restoring instream flows to the Santa Clara River allows steelhead access to their spawning sites, and also allows restoration of our ancestral connection celebrating the seasonal return of the steelhead through our shared waters.” The ruling requires that United ensure adequate flow along the 10.5-mile stretch of the Santa Clara River that the steelhead traverse to and from the ocean and have a design for a fully functioning 400-foot-wide notch and ramp that will allow the fish to migrate beyond the dam by January 2020.

OTTER NUMBERS DOWN FROM PREVIOUS YEAR, BUT STILL ABOVE AVERAGE

The furry sea-dwelling otters living along the coast from Ventura to Santa Barbara are still exhibiting encouraging numbers in spite of a dip in total count from 2017, according to new research from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. While the numbers have declined, the average population count remains above 3,090 for the third consecutive year, an important number and feat due to the fact that, should the average remain above 3,090 for three consecutive years, the otters could be delisted from the Endangered Species Act. “Reaching this threshold is a milestone in southern sea otter recovery, but it will be important to review all factors influencing the population to determine whether or not delisting is appropriate using the best available science,” said Lilian Carswell, southern sea otter recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “For the southern sea otter, those factors include ongoing threats such as shark bite mortality, lack of range expansion and changes in prey.”

The Oxnard Union High School District is looking for public comment on a proposed design for its new high school and will host a public forum on Oct. 11 to hear from residents. In June, Oxnard voters approved Measure A, which included money for a new high school to address rising student populations, as the two current high schools — Oxnard High School and Pacifica High School — are at or above capacity. The new school, planned for the intersection at Rose and Camino del Sol, will assist in balancing students across the district with an expected enrollment of 2,400 students. “We strongly encourage parents and members of the community to attend this meeting and give us input,” said Board President Dr. Gary Davis. “This school belongs to the public and we want to hear from them about what they want.” The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the OUHSD Board Room, 220 S. K St., Oxnard. For more information, call 805276-2110. — Chris O’Neal

FIVE STORIES ABOUT

JOHN M.

WHITE Snippets from the life and career of the ArtWalk 2018 Artist of Distinction BY NANCY D. LACKEY SHAFFER PHOTOS BY T CHRISTIAN GAPEN

t 81 years of age, John M. White can look back on an illustrious career that spans decades, disciplines and locations, from San Francisco in the 1950s to Los Angeles in the 1960s to Orange Couny, Malibu and, finally, Ventura in the years that followed. He was once in the Naval Reserves, almost became a brewmaster and even contemplated pro golf — until a chance meeting with an influential artist set him on a course that led straight into a life steeped in creativity. While White’s work has been shown and collected all over the world, he may have been most influential as a performance artist. He began this foray into “theater off the proscenium” as a student at the Otis Art Institute in the 1960s, taught at the University of California, Irvine, in the 1980s, and continues to this day. Locally, his 5 x 5 x 5 series — five artists, five minutes, five pieces — has been a hit. It began during ArtWalk 2008 at the Sylvia White Gallery and has continued in one form or another since. It seems appropriate, then, to look back on White’s career in a series of stories he shared during a two-hour conversation at his Downtown Ventura studio.

MOPS OVERBOARD

White served in the Naval Reserves in the 1950s, and in 1955 he was stationed aboard the U.S.S. George A. Johnson, one of two destroyer escorts traveling together between San Luis Obispo and San Francisco. White was named head of Section H, which was in charge of submarine depth charges. One Navy man laughed, telling White and his reports, “You know what Section H is? Section HEAD! You have to clean the toilets every morning at 4:30 a.m.” Which, as it turns out, was also true. For two weeks, White and his crew carried out their duties faithfully, if not joyfully. As they neared San Francisco, leave was imminent. So after one final scrubbing of the shipboard bathrooms, White told his reports, “Mops overboard!” An order they obeyed both faithfully and joyfully. Despite one false alarm that briefly called all men to their battle stations, the trip reached its destination without incident. Once in port in San Francisco, the admiral gathered all crew members (125 regular Navy men and 25 reservists) for final inspection before leave was granted. He called up Section H. “We thought we were getting a reward,” White recalls. “It’s three months in the brig for you,” the admiral told White. And to White’s reports, he said, “You’re all dishonorably discharged, and will lose all your stripes.”

The reason? The mops that White’s men threw overboard, bobbing in the water, from a distance resembled submarine periscopes. The second destroyer escort following the Johnson briefly thought they were under attack and sent up the alarm. While the facts of the situation were quickly ascertained, Section H was nevertheless punished for the temporary panic they sent through the fleet. All’s well that ends well, however: The brig to which White was condemned was a military prison in San Diego. He ended up serving only one week of his three-month sentence. “You’re too smart for being in the brig,” the warden told him.

A GOOD-LOOKING GUY WHO CAN GOLF

White was by all accounts a bright man, but not a stellar student. He gave it the old college try at a number of institutions, including California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, but was ultimately unsuccessful in the traditional academic realm. “I flunked out of college in 1956,” he admits. So he decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, a brewmaster for Regal Select, made by the General Brewing Company, in San Francisco. After nearly seven years in the business, the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself. The brewery wanted to expand internationally, and “They were looking for a good-looking guy with one

year of college who knows the beer business and likes to golf,” White explains. White’s job was to be interfacing with prospective clients by playing (and losing) golf and proposing brewery floor plans. But first, he had to get a solid year of college under his belt. So White’s father suggested art school, where White could get an “easy” education and learn how to make single-line drawings for blueprints. White selected the Patri School of Art Fundamentals, run by Giacomo Patri out of his three-story house in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. Some of the students even lived on site. “It was a perfect fit,” White recalls. In order to be accepted, however, he had to produce a portfolio. White up until that time had never produced any art, and had nothing to show. So he turned to one of his girlfriends for help. Her solution was to throw a party, telling White, “You furnish the beer and pizza — we’ll put something together.” With the help of his friends, Abrams art books and tracing paper, “By 2 a.m., I had a portfolio 3 or 4 inches thick.” The shrewd Patri wasn’t so easily fooled, however. “He looked at it for eight to ten seconds, and says, ‘You didn’t

issident artist Song Byeok has been named this year’s Global Artist of Distinction, and his story is one of stony resilience in the face of oppression, and art as a form of political protest. Born into a working-class family in a town outside of Pyongyang, North Korea, Song once worked as an official state propaganda artist. His patriotism turned to disillusionment, however, when the famine of the 1990s hit. Widespread starvation claimed the lives of an estimated 3 million people, including Song’s mother and younger sister. Shortly thereafter, in 2000, Song and his father attempted to cross the Tumen River into China. Tragically, his father was swept away in the river and died, and Song was captured and imprisoned. For six months he endured torture and slave labor, and even injured a finger so badly that it had to be amputated. Song was eventually released — many prisoners were starving, and were sent home to die — and managed to survive. His resolution to defect remained undaunted, and in June 2001 he finally made it safely to China, and later South Korea. Today he resides in Seoul, where his satirical acrylic paintings (an image of Marilyn Monroe, for example, with Kim Jong Il’s face superimposed), which ridicule North Korea and other oppressive regimes, have gained him international acclaim as both an artist and a creative advocate for human rights and freedom. Song answered some interview questions for the VCReporter by email, through a translator, a few weeks before ArtWalk 2018. When did you first start painting? What were your earliest influences? I’ve always enjoyed drawing sketches on paper at a very young age, and started art class in elementary school. I loved art class and it was one class that I looked forward to every week.

In a 2017 story for the British newspaper The Independent, you stated that you got into painting as a career because your family couldn’t afford to send you to university. How did you learn your craft? Are you entirely self-taught? The North Koreans are grouped into a set of very hierarchical social groups, so low working-class people like myself are not given the opportunity to get an education; it’d be like catching a shooting star. You became an official state propaganda artist at age 24. How did that come about? I was originally employed as a laborer. While I was working, I would sketch in my spare time, and one day, the secretary at the office saw my painting and got me to work as a propagandist. Can you share something about your experience defecting from North Korea? I escaped North Korea for the last time in June 2001, when I was 32 years old. A year before that escape (in 2000), my father and I attempted to cross the Duman [also called Tumen] River to China at night, to bring back food for our family. My father got swept away by the waves that flooded in that summer. I reported the incident to the border security guards in the hope that they would help in the search of my father, but instead I was beaten, held in detention centers and persecuted. I felt hopeless and helpless about my life in North Korea so I decided to defect to South Korea. How were you able to make a life for yourself after defecting — first in China, and then in Seoul? Were there specific people or organizations that helped you? After escaping from North Korea to China, I was in hiding from the Chinese police. I was fortunate to meet someone that See SONG on Page 10

WHITE Continued from Page 9 do any of this, did you?’ ” Even so, Patri allowed White to take one sketching class for free. He wasn’t an exceptional student at first, but Patri saw something in him. And White immediately realized he had found his calling. “I gave up the brewery business — dropped it dead-cold in a week,” he says. “Something about the art and the people living in that three-story place . . . something just took over.” He moved into the third floor of Patri’s house/school (his rent was $40 a month) and spent the next two and a half years immersed in art. The program ran the gamut — sketching, sculpture, drawing and painting Monday through Thursday, “And on Friday we put it all together,” White recalls. “Almost like collage.” “He turned my whole life around,” he says of Patri. When the venerable art teacher passed away in 1978, White spoke at his memorial.

“WE’RE NOT A DANCE SCHOOL”

After graduating with an associate degree from Patri’s school, White headed to the Otis College of Art and Design. Los Angeles was an exciting place in the 1960s, but Otis could, at times, be a little staid for the iconoclast White. “Abstract Expressionism was about where Otis had stopped,” he says. Luckily, he caught the attention of Joan Hugo, the librarian, who had an exceptional understanding of art and a forward-looking approach. “She was so hip,” White says with near-reverence. “Really hip to New York styles. She’d take one or two students from each class and introduce them to another way to see art. She re-educated me. She introduced me to performance art.” Hugo was a fan, but according to White, Otis brass didn’t share her sentiment. Four of his seven pieces in the 1964 graduate art show were line drawings titled “Performance Floor Plans.” The work itself did not raise eyebrows — just the naming convention. “We don’t show that,” the gallery director told him. “We’re not a dance school.” White was also told that he wouldn’t be allowed to graduate. Luckily, White had a friend who both knew how to access the gallery after hours and had a label maker. The night before the show, the two snuck into the gallery and changed all the nameplates on White’s pieces to “Untitled.” “The gallery director was furious,” White says with a chuckle. But he graduated with honors nonetheless.

GETTING AWAY WITH IT

White spent the next decade and a half working as a visiting artist and guest lecturer at a number of institutions across the United States. He also helped develop the performance art scene in Southern California, working with the likes of Bill Bartlett, Steve Paxton and Yvonne Rainer. In 1982, he began teaching per-

formance art at the University of California, Irvine. “Everything is going to be live, so your body is a piece of art. It’s site-specific — find a place on campus to do something for five minutes,” he would instruct his students. “Try to use props in a different way — take it out of context.” He also emphasized the importance of spontaneity. Looking back, White estimates that only about 75 percent of his students’ performance art pieces were rehearsed, leaving ample room for chance. He feels it’s necessary that artists “are still figuring it out” during the performance. “Think of it as a five-minute mystery,” he taught. “You’re just one step ahead of the audience.” Through his reputation and connections, White was able to bring other notable performance artists to Irvine: The Shrimps (a group that consisted of “huge, big guys — they’d throw boulders”), the percussion group STOMP (“They were doing stuff we had done 10-15 years before”), the comedian Gallagher. Laurie Anderson was scheduled to make an appearance, but, as White recalls, “She couldn’t make it. So she sent Annie Sprinkle instead.” He and his students would often utilize spaces on campus after hours, where there were no outside witnesses to their some-

times wild antics. And some of his students were as comfortable challenging convention as their teacher. White recalls one man who intentionally peed his pants during a piece and a woman who brought traffic screeching to a halt at a busy intersection by holding up a sign stating, “I F*** for Free.” “I taught there for 17 years,” White reflects, “and got away with everything.”

ARTIST OF EXTINCTION

With a career as illustrious as that of John M. White, it’s no surprise to local art lovers that he was named this year’s Artist of Distinction. But it came as a surprise to White himself. The day he got the news, the artist was sitting in his Westside studio, drawing, with his phone on a table next to him. When ArtWalk officials texted him about being named “Artist of Distinction,” a pen obscured part of the message. White thought it said, “Artist of EXtinction” — which he found both hilarious and somewhat appropriate, considering his irreverence for the conventional. Decades of witnessing the vagaries, politics and machinations of the art world have left White somewhat jaded, even as he has been lauded internationally for his contributions to it. Nevertheless, he feels a certain pride in being honored at this year’s ArtWalk. “I just got it. It’s one of the purest distinctions that I’ve ever got, because I didn’t do any hustling. The work did it. That’s important to me.” F John M. White’s studio at 110 N. Olive Ave., unit N, Ventura, will be open during ArtWalk, which takes place Oct. 6-7.

SONG Continued from Page 9

wanted to help me, and with his help I escaped to South Korea in January 2002. Can you tell us a little bit about what life is like for you in Seoul now? I feel lucky to have my freedom back, and my life now in Seoul is good. Happy. Do you stay in touch with anyone from North Korea? How are they? I am in touch with a few defectors but not many. Most of them have an interaction with many human rights activists. Those, too, have overcome many adversities to escape to South Korea — it’s not easy to defect. Satire about the North Korean government is your work with which most of us are familiar. Do you turn your artist’s eye on other leaders or regimes? What other subjects do you satirize? Most of my work is a satire on the North Korean regime but North Korea is not the only subject country I satirize. I will satirize any places that threaten human dignity and strip away the basic freedom and peace of people. Do you have other inspirations as well? Is there anything you paint that isn’t politically driven? And if so, what is it? Most of my work has political influence but I also paint pictures of nature. I majored in Oriental painting at the university. Sometimes oriental painting represents attunement to nature. What do you hope your art can accomplish? I hope that my work can bring awareness and understanding of the pain and the desperate situations that the majority of North Koreans face today. What plans do you have going into the future? I hope that I can continue to travel all around the world and show the importance of human dignity, freedom and peace through my art exhibitions. What do you plan to do while you are here? What do you hope to share with the art lovers of Ventura County? First of all, I want to thank Mary Perez and Susan Pollack for inviting me to the city of Ventura and their efforts to make the exhibitions happen. While I’m here, I hope to meet a lot of people and share my art world, and that I can have an impact on bringing their interest in North Korea. F The works of Song Byeok will be on exhibit Oct. 5-7 at Vita Art Center, 28 W. Main St., Ventura. For more information, call 805-6449214 or visit vitaartcenter.com.

Arts hub in the making The Oxnard Plain Collective aims to support emerging artists locally, and bring them to a wider audience by Emily Dodi

“G

reat surf, punk rock, great Mexican food, the best strawberries.” This is what people think of when they think of Oxnard, says artist and educator Brian Paumier. He and Jaime Bailon, a conceptual photographer, are looking to add something else to the list: great art. The talent and potential are here; artists simply need support, experience and a safe place to create. That is where The Oxnard Plain Collective comes in. Started by Bailon and Paumier, the artist-run group is dedicated to the “development of lens-based artists at critical moments in their careers.” Simply put, The Oxnard Plain Collective’s mission is to help bring young artists to a larger audience. It all began when Paumier was teaching at Ventura College and saw the need for a venue for young people to show their work.

12 —

— October 4, 2018

Bailon noticed something similar. “Because I’ve stayed here my entire life,” says Bailon. “I’ve experienced [that] other creative individuals — they move to San Francisco, New York or L.A. There’s a cultural brain drain from Oxnard. It makes it difficult for people to want to create without a community.” So when Paumier and Bailon connected, the creation of The Oxnard Plain Collective seemed to be nothing short of inevitable. They met after a friend turned Paumier on to Bailon’s work. Bailon, who had gone through the art program at Ventura College, was self-publishing zines of his photography through The Oxnard Plain Press, which he founded. Paumier remembers thinking, “I’ve got to meet this guy.” A year later, when Paumier became a board member of CAM Cornerstones, he asked Bailon to bring The Oxnard Plain Press to the CAM Studio Gallery, which is adjacent to the Carnegie Art Museum. (CAM Cornerstones is a nonprofit organization that manages the

Carnegie Art Museum and the CAM Studio Gallery, which are both owned by the city of Oxnard.) Bailon accepted and The Oxnard Plain Press became a permanent fixture in the studio. It is here that Bailon creates, publishes and sells his zines, as well as those of other artists. (The Oxnard Plain Press zines can also be purchased online at www.oxnardplain.com.) Creating The Oxnard Plain Collective was the next logical step. Paumier and Bailon put out an open call to local artists to come show their work. Geographically speaking, The Oxnard Plain covers more than 200 square miles, encompassing Oxnard, a large part of Ventura and other communities. Philosophically speaking, the Collective extends those boundaries north to Santa Barbara, out to Ojai and as far south as the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains. It also extends its reach to young artists who work in other mediums besides photography. The Collective’s attitude is welcoming and supportive. Sometimes, Paumier notes, artists just walk in and say,

“Can you help me?” He and Bailon remember when a photographer they didn’t know came in with his portfolio and Bailon helped him create a zine of his work. There is nothing intimidating about the Collective. It is simply impressive. Paumier and Bailon are unassuming, but their passion for art and community is serious, as is their dedication to making art possible. “We want our programming for the people of Oxnard,” says Paumier. “We want to inspire and motivate young image makers: You can do this, too!” The Oxnard Plain Collective held its first meeting in January 2018. Today it has a core group of about 12 artists, with others who drop in from time to time. The space has evolved to accommodate the artists’ needs. “The space fits like a glove,” Paumier says, “It was kind of meant to be.” “We treat [the Collective] like a mini-MFA (Master of Fine Art),” explains Paumier, “where we have a reading or a film at the beginning of our ‘crits’ [critique sessions] and then talk about it to break the ice. Then we put work up on the wall and talk about it.” The experience is invaluable. The artists are able to “test-drive ideas” and it gives them a chance to have a studio practice with other artists. As an artist, Paumier explains, “You should be in conversation. There should be some sort of skills exchange.” “It’s the best education you can have,” he adds. “Without this sort of space you wouldn’t have that experience to draw back on for that big commercial show or for that big museum show.” The Collective had its first group show this past June. Leading up to the show, the artists

learned how to price their work, how to finish (frame) it, and how to present it. The show featured the works of Paumier, Bailon, Amy Etkins, Hugo Castillo, Jack Adams, Joseph Ipatzi, Mark Giorgione, Nathan Asplund, Rob Ipatzi, Shamis Luna and Vanessa Wallace-Gonzales. Perhaps the most valuable experience for the artists, beyond the validation of selling their work — often to people who they didn’t expect — was the experience of putting their work out into the world. Some of the artists have already gone on to have solo shows. Etkins recently opened her Photographs of Contemporary Masculinity at Orange Coast College (through Dec. 1) in Costa Mesa. Vanessa Wallace-Gonzales had a residence at the CAM Studio, with her solo exhibition Artifacts from a Butterfly’s Meconium opening this past August. Born in Ventura, Wallace-Gonzales credits being part of the Collective for helping to open the door to the residency program. Both experiences have been invaluable. “The best part is having this pool of creative minds,” she says, from which to draw informa- Jaime Bailon tion and inspiration. With its first group show under its belt, the Collective is applying for admission to the Spring/ Break Art Show in New York in March.“It’s a really good venue . . . to sell and get feedback,” says Brian Paumier Paumier. Bailon just returned from New York, where he exhibited The Oxnard Plain Press at the New York Art Book Fair in September. He exhibited his own zines as well as zines he collaborated on with other artists. “It was really exciting to get this stuff in front of that many people,” says Bailon. (About 40,000 people visited the fair.) “It was really well received.” In

fact, the website Hyperallergic named The Oxnard Plain Press one of the “8 Zines You Want to Know About.” Why does Bailon think the zines made such an impact? “[The Oxnard Plain Press] really stood out as a distinct voice in representing the region that we’re from,” says Bailon. “That’s what Brian and I are really trying to do. Just bring that to a larger audience.” “That’s our biggest goal — supporting young artists to the world stage,” adds Paumier. “We want the space and the Collective to be a catalyst for the kinds of interactions [between] artists and people who have decision-making power.” He mentions how Jack Adams, a Collective member who also attended the Art Book Fair, was able to speak with people from the New York art world. “That’s what we want to activate — to help advance these young artists’ careers.” The most exciting developments, however, might be happening closer to home. A clue might be in how the local art world is reacting to the Collective and the CAM Studio Gallery. After viewing Vanessa Wallace-Gonzales’s work, Mary Joyce Winder, Vice President of Santa Barbara Museum of Art Docent Board, wrote, “Bravo to this place and space,” signing her letter, “Impressed and awestruck.” Winder later said, “I can’t applaud them enough. They are doing true outreach.” A few of the SBMA docents who toured the CAM Studio lamented that Oxnard was difficult to get to from Santa Barbara — until Paumier pointed out that the train stops a few blocks away. He has already turned some of his L.A. friends on to taking the train to Oxnard. “It’s so interesting when friends come and see the space and the rest of Downtown Oxnard,” says Paumier. “They say this could really be an amazing artist hub. It could turn into a Marfa, Texas, or Dia:Beacon, New York.” “Why not? A lot of buildings are empty around here. Why not activate them with this kind of energy?” He adds, “I’m really proud of where I come from. I’m born and raised in Oxnard, California. I kind of wear it as a badge, and it’s just because I’ve learn so much from what I call the cultural amalgam that happens here. We have so many different heritages here to be inspired by that it is a magical place.” Look out, Marfa. F The Oxnard Plain Collective at the CAM Studio Gallery, 329 N. Fifth Street, Oxnard.

t’s the Rubicon Theatre’s 20th anniversary, and in celebration the theater company is installing temporary works of art throughout Downtown Ventura. A series of pianos painted by local artists, in designs inspired by the musical productions that will be performed this season, have been popping up in various locations along Main Street. Pianos currently on display include artist Sara Janks Flesher’s homage to South Pacific (across from the San Buenaventura Mission) and one featuring imagery inspired by Big River (near California Street) by Michelle Nosco with help from Erin O’Brien. Five in total will be rolled out through Jan. 2019. Music, theater and art, together in harmony. PHOTOS BY T CHRISTIAN GAPEN

Out with a bang

What were some of the struggles you had getting this year’s event off the ground?

Robert Garven and Jarvis Leatherby talk Frost and Fire IV before the metalfest takes its final bow

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

rost and Fire IV starts tonight, and in four short years the heavy metal music festival has become one of the area’s most anticipated events. 2018, however, is looking to be its final year. Cirith Ungol will be the headliner on opening night, and two members of the Ventura-based doom-metal giant — Robert Garven, drummer and one of the founding members, and bassist Jarvis Leatherby, who also performs with Night Demon and helped create the Frost and Fire festival — spoke to the VCReporter about the band’s reunion, life since 2016, metal fans abroad and the challenges of running a multiday music festival. We share some of that lengthy conversation here; find the full interview online at www. vcreporter.com.

The band broke up in 1991, but reunited in 2016 at Frost and Fire II. What made you guys decide to come back together? Robert Garven: When the band broke up in 1991, we had four albums out, and had built up a pretty amazing following all over the world. We never got a chance to tour, with the exception of an exciting show in Mexico City. Many of the bands we grew up alongside, such as Rush, really made it big, but we were struggling. After a few band members left the band, we decided it was time to hang it up. Fast-forward to 2015.

— October 4, 2018

A local musician, Jarvis Leatherby, had been traveling the world with his Ventura band Night Demon, bringing back tales of a new generation of Cirith Ungol followers overseas. For several years he and a well-known promoter in Germany had been trying to convince me to get the band back together. I had been turning down all their offers repeatedly because I thought the band would never rise again. I even swore an oath that I would never touch another pair of drumsticks as long as I lived. We were invited to the first Frost and Fire event (named after our first album) and were amazed at the interest from fans who traveled from all over the world to see the show and to meet the band.

Do you feel your fan base overseas has been bigger than it has in the United States, or perhaps locally? RG: The band has a large following but [fans are] spread over the entire world. That is why the festival shows are the best for us. We have consistently been playing sold-out shows overseas but if we played locally by ourselves, we may only get a few hundred attendees.

You yourself live in Ventura, although you’re on the road frequently. How do you manage to do that?

RG: It has worked out pretty well. We are older now and several members have full-time jobs, so what we’ve been doing is flying out to big shows and then returning. Last year we did do three big shows in a row, in England and

Germany, and then upon our return we flew straight out to play a festival in Sweden. The 20-hour flights are not that much fun, but we have been to some pretty amazing places, and had some unbelievable experiences. Jarvis’ band Night Demon is getting more popular every year, and many shows our bands play together, or he will take a short break from his touring to meet us at one of our scheduled shows. Those guys are the best!

Why are you thinking of making this the last Frost and Fire?

Jarvis Leatherby: For the simple reason of focus and sanity. My band Night Demon has spent much of the last four years on tour, traveling the world. These events take a lot of effort to get off the ground, mainly because most performers and patrons are coming from other states and other countries. There’s so much advance planning involved that it has forced Night Demon to have to decline some really great opportunities over the years, due to our nonavailability in the months of September and October. It’s not purely selfish, however. We feel that a lot of the underground culture that used to exist in Ventura is dying a slow death due to gentrification and just the general cost of things going up. There’s definitely still a strongly conservative backbone to the town. People do like traveling here for the environment, but there’s little to no support locally for an event this cool and of this magnitude.

JL: Mainly the new immigration laws for performers. We’ve lost thousands of dollars in attorney and immigration fees trying to get some of the bands over. It’s a lot of work, red tape and money just to file such applications. I travel all over the world regularly, and it’s easy for me as a United States citizen to pretty much go anywhere. It’s a shame that we as a nation are so closed off from the rest of the world. They have so much to offer.

What’s the likelihood that it’ll come back?

JL: It will be the final edition in Ventura, and anywhere else for the foreseeable future. I never say never, so it does have the possibility of coming back, but for now it needs a break. Same with our sold-out London edition. The only reason why we did that in the first place was because Live Evil and Brofest (the main traditional heavy-metal fests in the U.K.) had also decided last year to stop. We saw this as a possibly catastrophic event for the scene if heavy metal died in it’s birthplace. We came in, did our thing, and inspired those two festivals to start up again. And that’s what we are all about. Not competing, but inspiring.

What bands are you looking forward to the most on this year’s lineup? RG: All the bands are pretty fantastic and it would be hard to pick one. We played with many at some of our other shows and really like the diversity of heavy metal that a festival like this has to offer! JL: All of them. I know that sounds like a cliché answer, but in all honesty . . . there’s no filler on our festivals. Everyone from top to bottom is a headliner in their own right. We bring the best of the best in all of heavy metal for this event. F Frost and Fire IV takes place Oct. 4-6 at the Majestic Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut St., Ventura.

The vibe may be ’60s chic, but the essence of this movie is best summed up in the ’90s album title Crazy Sexy Cool — on the verge of camp, but slick. Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) is a petite, widowed mom; a pretty, earnest nerd who posts a daily vlog about homemaking. Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) is a sleek, smooth, smart, sarcastic, sophisticated willo’-the-wisp. Odds on friendship growing between these two seem long, but shortly after their young sons have a playdate, they form a bond. Kendrick’s Stephanie wears kitten-print blouses from Gap and Target, and chatters in her Gilmore Girls rapidfire delivery at full tilt. Lively’s Emily (the P.R. director for a fashion designer) channels Marlene Dietrich, sans top hat, and is blunt, sardonic and ribald; she never fails to sting with a rejoinder. They cultivate an alphabeta mutual admiration. Then Emily disappears. That’s www.brophybros.com when the fun starts. It’s also as far as I can go explaining the plot. As it moves along, A Small Favor throws more 805.639.0865 curves than Dodger great Clayton Kershaw. So we’ll center on the actors. Anna Kendrick has 26 — — October 4, 2018

perfected cute, geeky-charmer roles since her Oscarnominated turn in Up in the Air. Blake Lively has stepped into the Gwyneth Paltrow roles that Paltrow can no longer play, and she’s cranked it up a notch. Like the character of Stephanie, you’re sucked in by the beauty and the easy wit, and don’t realize you’re being owned. Kendrick and Lively, as unlikely a screen pair as they may seem, have believable chemistry — vital, considering the hairpin turns that await. Henry Golding is Emily’s novelist husband, Sean. In what has to be a case of astounding good fortune, A Simple Favor premiered as Crazy Rich Asians continued its hit run in theaters. Golding has two top-10 films at the box office as October begins, a feat that should make him the burgeoning young movie hunk of the year. That’s one heck of a coup. As far as this film, keep in mind that Emily and Sean have a sexually powerful but otherwise troubled marriage — at one point he intimates that he essentially stopped writing, “to pursue this woman,” which leads to financial problems for them. Andrew Rannells, Kelly McCormack and Aparna Nancherla are deliciously snarky as fellow parents who can’t believe Stephanie and Emily are close. Jean Smart appears, and Linda Cardellini plays an avant-garde artist responsible for a painting that might be described as a dam-building, semi-aquatic rodent, if one’s definitions get confused. It’s one of the movie’s hilarious running gags. Director Paul Feig is better known for comedies such as Bridesmaids, and believe me, the humor is here. Jessica Sharzer’s script, based on the novel by Darcey Bell, is sharp, crackling with that aforementioned wit, and manages not to scrape itself (or develop vertigo) turning all those corners in the last act. I’m itching to give you more clues, but it wouldn’t be fair. Look for potent martinis, those great French versions of ’60s tunes, Emily’s haughty designer, Boss (Rupert Friend), and his crew, a dotty mother (Smart), plenty of laughs, suspense and secrets . . . lots of secrets. ♦

shell, and several of the veggie tacos ($3.25). The veggie taco is a ripe cornucopia of veggies, including Mexican squash, mushroom, onion and bell pepper topped with cilantro, avocado, tomato and cotija cheese. We ordered the veggie tacos sans cheese for a vegan-friendly lunch. One particular item stood out: The Crispy OG Taco ($3.50-3.75). Your choice of meat inside a “crispy dusted parmesan shell” really spoke to me on a personal level. A: I love crispy tacos. B: I love cheese. So I asked if one of the potato tacos could be made with the parmesan shell and the chef obliged. After gathering a bounty of salsas from the self-serve bar (choices include mild green, spicy red, habanero and avocado), we dug in. I needn’t remind you that I loved Seaward Fish & Chips, but I will because sitting at the small table on the right side of the restaurant reminded me to look up, where once there were (I’m guessing) a hundred dollars’ or so worth of dollar bills tacked to the ceiling. They are gone, and in their stead is an actual respectable restaurant wherein you don’t have to worry about someone’s money falling into your clam chowder. This pleased me, and I began accepting Pierpont Tacos as the rightful owner of the spot. If I had my reservations, they were done away with upon crunching into the potato taco. The crispy shell, coated in parmesan, was a nice reminder of the ingenuity and versatility of the much-disrespected vessel. The potato, more of a mashed iteration than, say, a potato taco from the more established Snapper Jack’s, which serves them in more of a potato-salad way, was flavorful but somewhat lost in the party that was the parmesan and toppings covered in spicy salsa. The veggie tacos, on the other hand, spoke loudly and confidently. Tucked into the soft corn tortillas, the veggies were well-seasoned and sautéed to a mild char. The horchata paired well with this in spite of its sweetness, cutting through the mild heat of the habanero salsa. The entire meal cost us around $20 for four tacos and two drinks. Not bad for a meal for two at the bustling (and pricey) seaside locale. On a second visit, I’d love to have a beer with my tacos, but walking out feeling full but not in need of a nap was a welcome and new experience for that particular spot. Pierpont Tacos is already becoming a staple, and perhaps one with the legs for its predecessors’ ♦ longevity.

Short-film festival premieres in Ojai by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com

here has been no lack of film festivals in Ventura County in recent years, but rarely does one get an opportunity to view short films, those little gems you know nothing about that receive Oscar nominations. They don’t open in major theaters and are not readily available in video stores. So, where to go, what to do? How about attending the premiere of the Ojai Short Film Fest taking place this weekend. The festival will showcase 27 diverse short films from the U.S., U.K., Iran, India, Ireland, Sweden, Venezuela, Israel and Argentina. These include films produced by Oscar-winners Viola Davis and Kim Magnusson, three 2018 Oscar qualifiers and a spotlight on films made by women from around the world. Why should one care about short films? For one thing, they often showcase the talent of directors who go on to handle bigger films. If you’re wondering where filmmakers get their start, this is the place. And since directors have to put their best foot forward, short films are often very entertaining and thought provoking. For ambitious filmmakers, it’s a new world of possibilities now that digital tech has given them a freer hand to fully express their craft, and it opens up film media productions from around the world. In sum, anyone from anywhere on this planet can

now be a film producer, even with nothing more than a smart phone. “They’re using superior production methods to communicate powerful narratives in a limited time span,” said Sunil Sadarangani, co-founder and program curator for the Ojai Short Film Fest. “They’re from diverse cultures and communities, and more than ever are seeking a common ground to reconnect, ideate and showcase their work for better business prospects.” Short films are very much in tune with the modern mind set, which tends to be focused on Internet and multimedia platforms built to handle short viewing better than your average film theater. “In today’s ever-evolving digital multiverse,” Sadarangani explained, “technology has become very accessible, and attention spans are shrinking daily. Thus, creating short filmed content has never been so relevant.” For this fall’s OSFF, some titles include Little Match Girl (Sweden), Night Shift (USA), Are You Volleyball?! (Iran), Ah (Sperm) (India), El Astronauta (Venezuela) and the Pixar short Weekends (USA). If you’re a film fan and would like to see some♦ thing unique, check this out. The Ojai Short Film Fest takes place Oct. 6-7 at Greater Goods, 145 W. El Roblar, Ojai. For tickets and more information, visit ojaishortfilmfest.com or the Facebook page.

back. If, on the other hand, he’s all “Screw poor people!” well, maybe you two don’t belong together.

Oliver Tryst

I’m a 34-year-old woman, and I’ve been with my boyfriend for three years. I’ve noticed a weird pattern. Guys looking for a fling get MORE interested instead of less when I tell them I’m in a relationship. I don’t understand. Even if I were willing to step out on my boyfriend (which I’m not), why would any guy want a cheater?

— Committed You’re saying: “I have a boyfriend. Get lost.” They’re hearing: “Cool! I can get sex without the crying, the tampon runs, and the map on the nightstand for the precise placement of each of the 300 throw pillows.” Evolutionary researchers Susan M. Hughes and Marissa Harrison found that women in committed relationships (compared with men) were more likely to reveal their relationship status to a potential hookup partner. They speculate that it “may appeal to a man’s evolved psychological preference for short-term mating, which increases his chance of reproduction without commitment.”

Maybe the actual problem here is that you have a rigid idea of what generosity looks like.

Of course, men these days aren’t consciously looking for “reproduction” with their hookup, but birth control is “evolutionarily novel.” In other words, the psychological operating system that’s driving all of us today is, shall we say, oldschool. It evolved to solve ancestral mating and survival problems, so it’s sometimes a bit mismatched with the world we live in today. For example, our genes operate on the principle that having sex — whether it’s relationship sex or hit-it-and-quit-it sex — leads to reproduction, not really nice dividends for stockholders of condom companies. Again, a guy in hookup mode isn’t reflecting on these psychological underpinnings. As he sees it, he gets all of the sexytime fun but nobody hands him the usual bill ... which is to say there are jobs women give their lover — “Get naked!” — and jobs they give their boyfriend: “Get into this ‘Proud Cat Daddy’ T-shirt!” (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Electra is an action-packed story written by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. It features epic characters taking drastic action in response to extreme events. In contrast to that text is Marcel Proust’s novel In Search of Lost Time, which draws from the sensitive author’s experiences growing up, coming of age, and falling in love, all the while in quest for meaning and beauty. Author Virginia Woolfe compared the two works, writing, “In six pages of Proust we can find more complicated and varied emotions than in the whole of the Electra.” In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you specialize in the Proustian mode rather than the Sophoclean. Your feelings in the next five weeks could be as rich and interesting and educational as they have been in a long time. Honor them!

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Researchers in Maryland have created a new building material with a strength-to-weight ratio that’s 8 times better than steel. It’s an effective insulator, and in some forms can be bent and folded. Best of all, it’s biodegradable and cost-effective. The stuff is called nanowood, and is derived from lightweight, fastgrowing trees like balsa. I propose that we make it your main metaphor for the foreseeable future. Why? Because I think you’re primed to locate or create your own version of a flexible, durable, robust building block.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

The U.S. secretary of defense paid an official visit to Indonesia early this year. The government arranged for him to observe soldiers as they demonstrated how tough and well-trained they were. Some of the troops shimmied through broken glass, demolished bricks with their heads, walked through fire and bit

heads off snakes. I hope you won’t try stunts like that in the coming weeks, Gemini. It will be a favorable time for you show off your skills and make strong impressions. You’ll be wise to impress important people with how creative and resourceful you are. But there’s no need to try too hard or resort to exaggeration.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

i confess that i have a fuzzy self-image. With odd regularity, i don’t seem to know exactly what or who i am. For example, i sometimes think i’m so nice and polite that i need to toughen up. But on other occasions i feel my views are so outrageous and controversial that i should tone myself down. Which is true? Often, i even neglect to capitalize the word “i.” You have probably experienced some of this fuzziness, my fellow Cancerian. But you’re now in a favorable phase to cultivate a more definitive self-image. Here’s a helpful tip: We Cancerians have a natural talent for inspiring people to love us. This ability will come in especially handy as we work on making an enduring upgrade from i to I. Our allies’ support and feedback will fuel our inner efforts to clarify our identity.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“I am a little afraid of love, it makes me rather stupid.” So said author Simone de Beauvoir in a letter she wrote to her lover, Nelson Algren. I’m happy to let you know, Leo, that during the next 12 months, love is likely to have the opposite effect on you. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it will tend to make you smarter and more perceptive. To the degree that you expand your capacity for love, you will become more resilient and a better decision-maker. As you get the chance to express love with utmost skill and artistry, you will awaken

dormant potentials and boost your personal power.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your theme in the coming weeks is the art of attending to details. But wait! I said “the art.” That means attending to details with panache, not with overly meticulous fussing. For inspiration, meditate on St. Francis Xavier’s advice, “Be great in little things.” And let’s take his thought a step further with a quote from author Richard Shivers: “Be great in little things, and you will be given opportunity to do big things.” Novelist Tom Robbins provides us with one more nuance: “When we accept small wonders, we qualify ourselves to imagine great wonders.”

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Libran astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson offers this observation: “When you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. [But] the most successful people in life recognize that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.” I think Tyson’s simple wisdom is exactly what you need to hear right now, Libra. You’re primed for a breakthrough in your ability to create your own fate.

where you live, Scorpio. The next two weeks will be a perfect time to relieve pent-up worry and sadness and anxiety through cathartic rituals like crying. What other strategies might work for you?

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Fling out friendly feelers! Sling out interesting invitations! Figure out how to get noticed for all the right reasons! Make yourself so interesting that no one can resist your proposals! Use your spunky riddlesolving powers to help ease your tribe’s anxieties. Risk looking odd if that will make you smarter! Plunk yourself down in pivotal places where vitality is welling up! Send out telepathic beams that say, “I’m ready for sweet adventure. I’m ready for invigorating transformation!”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“Someone spoke to me last night, told me the truth,” writes poet Dorianne Laux. “I knew I should make myself get up, write it down, but it was late, and I was exhausted from working. Now I remember only the flavor.” I offer these thoughts, Capricorn, in the hope that they’ll help you avoid Laux’s mistake. I’m quite sure that crucial insights and revelations will be coming your way, and I want you to do whatever’s necessary to completely capture them so you can study and meditate on them at length.

Japanese entrepreneur Hiroki Terai has created a business that offers crying therapy. His clients watch short videos specially formulated to make them weep. A professional helper is on hand to gently wipe their tears away and provide comforting words. “Tears have relaxing and healing effects,” says an Okinawan musician who works as one of the helpers. Hiroki Terai adds, “It has been said that one drop of tear has the effect of relieving stress for a week.” I wish there were a service like this near

As a young man, Aquarian poet Louis Dudek struck up a correspondence with renowned poet Ezra Pound, who was 32 years older. Dudek “admired him immensely” and “loved him for the joy and the luminosity” of his poetry, but also resented him “for being so magnificent.” With a mix of mischief and adulation, Dudek wrote a poem to his hero. It included these lines: “For Christ’s sake, you didn’t invent

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

sunlight. There was sun dazzle before you. But you talk as if you made light or discovered it.” I hope his frisky tone might inspire you to try something similar with your own idols. It would be healthy to be more playful and lighthearted about anything or anyone you take too seriously or give enormous power to.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

In his book Till We Have Faces, C. S. Lewis writes, “Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.” In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I suggest you seek out dark holy places that evoke wonder and reverence, even awe. Hopefully, you will be inspired thereby to bring new beauty into your life. You’ll be purged of trivial concerns and become receptive to a fresh promise from your future life.
