OPINION Editorial

Climate change: The heat is on

t’s quite a predicament to feel helpless as news reports of unusual and devastating natural anomalies continue to barrage the planet. Locally, we are not immune. In early July, hundreds of fish were found dead along the shore of Ormond Beach in Oxnard. In mid-August, another die-off of over 1,000 fish in Malibu. So far, necropsies on the fish have not revealed any specific cause, but scientists are speculating that record-high temperatures and climate change overall may have played a role. Last month, off the coast of San Diego, sea-surface temperatures were running between 72 and 79 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Whereas average water temperature is between 68 to 69 degrees there. Fire maps compiled by NASA have been circulating on social media, showing a rather dire picture of drought-ridden regions across the globe and the consequences of wildfires. On Sept. 4, Londonbased Independent reported that “British people’s concern over climate change hit the highest level in almost a decade amid the record-breaking heat wave which swept across Britain this summer, a new poll has revealed.” Given the severity of the aftermath of wildfires in California alone, it’s easy to feel unnerved about the future. To worsen the dilemma, Ventura County

Board of Supervisors in August urged the Casitas Municipal Water District to declare a stage 4 drought emergency. That has yet to happen, but the urgency is duly noted. To remain in a state of denial about climate change may be the path of least resistance. Perhaps that was President Trump’s approach this year when pulling out of the Paris Agreement, an effort to limit the increase of global average temperatures to less than 2 degrees Celsius. On an individual basis, to take on trying to reverse a global problem is no doubt anxiety-producing. The question is, are we at the point of no return? It depends on who you ask, but optimism is not dead among the experts. For instance, organizations that attempt to reduce carbon dioxide and plastic pollution in the ocean are at least headed in a direction of hope. As the summer winds down and fall approaches, the heat will surely dissipate in the coming months, it’s important that we not give up on personal efforts to lessen our impacts on the planet if and when possible: drive less, carpool more, turn off lights, eat less meat, recycle more, go solar, choose quality over quantity. It’s hard to say if these attempts make a significant difference without a large percentage of the population participating, but at least the effort matters to those who try.

Could have been prevented

My name is Casey Riccardi, I am 23 years young and I have lived in Simi Valley my entire life. On Nov. 28, 2017, my life was flipped upside down. I was diagnosed with brain cancer (astrocytoma) and I was told I would NEVER be cancer-free, but what my doctors told me next was the real kicker … my neurooncologist told me that the reason I have such a rare form of cancer is because I grew up in Simi Valley. He then began to explain Rocketdyne to me and how I am a victim of the biggest nuclear meltdown in U.S. history. I had never even heard about Rocketdyne before that day. Now … Rocketdyne is my worst enemy. How can something that we know is causing cancer, especially pediatric cancer, still not be taken care of ?! All of the pain and all of the death that Rocketdyne has caused could have been prevented. Casey Riccardi Simi Valley

Shared passion for VUSD Why am I volunteering as Deborah MeyerMorris’ campaign manager for VUSD school board? I am the last person you would ever think would get involved with politics. But as a teacher within VUSD for more than two decades, I have seen my share of triumphs and tragedies. Time and time again I have wondered why

4—

— September 6, 2018

VUSD has continued archaic practices which I have seen previously streamlined during my years working for LAUSD. I have known Deborah for almost 10 years. We met at Anacapa Middle School when I was a Two-Way Immersion Spanish science teacher and she was the PTO co-president. I was a former PTA president in Ojai. From the beginning we found commonalities in our dedication to our families and our communities. We quickly merged a tight network between us since our daughters, Savanna and Dayle, were driven with the same passion, which was to represent Ventura County throughout the state of California as Ventura County 4-H All Stars, countywide youth leaders. Deborah and I combined our unique skill set together to support and empower not just our daughters, but other Ventura County youth through our extensive involvement in Ventura County 4-H where I was a 4-H club community leader and Deborah was on the 4-H County Council. During this time, we realized that the path of fruition for a young person toward their goal in life is arduous and in need of adult supporters. Using my teaching experience, Deborah’s legal skills, and our shared passion for positive youth engagement and service learning through mentorship, we have been able to challenge obstacles, communicate student needs in the political arena and work towards developing more inclusive policies. Since our daughters have completed college, moved into careers and are enjoying their empowered single lives, they are less in need

of our support. As a result we have turned our focus on other young adults who need continued support, honest answers to their questions and a fair playing field so that they too can reach their goals and find success. Deborah has a strong passion to help VUSD become a student-centered district which actively engages parents as partners in obtaining educational equity for all students. As a teacher, I know VUSD will appreciate the focus on detail and genuine insight into solving complex problems which Deborah will bring to the VUSD school board. Monica Stanley Ojai

Share the road with ebikes Road cyclists have used the mantra “Share the Road” for decades to remind drivers that both cars and bikes have the right to use city streets and back roads. Now, with the introduction of ebikes, there is a greater need to advocate the Share the Road mantra. The growing uses of ebikes has resulted in a new class of cyclists using bike lanes, bike paths and city streets. Both motorists and traditional road cyclists need to welcome ebike riders to our roads. Traditional road cyclists should support the new ebike users for a number of reasons. For one, it is a whole lot easier to share the road with ebike users versus individuals in 2,000-plus-pound vehicles. Secondly, the more ebikes users there are, the more likely cities and towns will create bike lanes and bike paths that make us all safer. Some traditional road cyclists consider ebike users cheaters, and they would be if they were competing in races like the Tour of California or Tour de France. However, when ebike users are commuting to work or riding for fun they are no different then traditional cyclists that use the roads and bike paths for recreation and commuting. I have been a road cyclist for over 30 years and a member of the Channel Island Bike Club. Many people that might never ride a traditional bike can now hop on their ebikes and see the world like we do. Let’s share the road with them.

news In Brief DEADLY CHICKEN VIRUS FOUND IN VENTURA COUNTY

RAPTOR’D

Experts discuss impact of the use of birds of prey over rodenticide in Ventura by Chris O’Neal

chris@vcreporter.com ook, in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a pla — actually it is a bird, a raptor, to be to precise, acting sentinel over Ventura County’s many dams and levees with one goal in mind: to prevent rodents from damaging important infrastructure. On Wednesday, Sept. 12, Karl Novak of the Ventura County Watershed Protection District will present results of a three-year-long project aimed at ridding the county of rodenticides and replacing them with a natural pest deterrent — hawks and owls. Through a program launched by Ventura County Public Works, rodenticides — poisons aimed at eradicating of rats, mice, ground squirrels, gophers and other burrowing creatures — have been removed, and in some cases replaced by perches and owl boxes to attract predators as a natural method by which to suppress the rodent population, particularly around the Ventura County Watershed Protection District. The District includes 40 miles of levees, 216 miles of channels and 55 earthen dams, all of which can be damaged or made unsafe by rodent burrows, which can be up to 35 feet long, according to a presentation put together by Karl Novak, deputy director of the Watershed Protection District, and David Torfeh. One gopher, for instance, can displace one ton of soil in a single year, says Novak. In 2005, secondary rodenticide poisoning of mammals came to the attention of the Board of Supervisors, which directed agencies to avoid using them and to come up with a better solution. The District immediately stopped using bait stations in all areas except dams and levees and created the Integrated Pest Management Program, seeking alternatives. In 2015, the District began studying neighboring Santa Barbara County’s raptor program and created a Raptor Study Advisory Committee consisting of experts on raptors from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife; Environmental Department at California State University, Channel Islands; Santa Barbara Natural History Museum; and the Ojai Raptor Center. For Novak, the raptors didn’t have to be a perfect solution; they just had to be better than the rodenticide bait stations. In April 2016, two sites were selected at the Revolon Slough in Oxnard for a pilot study. The District constructed 14 perches, made of a pole atop which sat a 2x4, and installed a nesting platform for hawks and an owl box in one area of the slough while in the other, anticoagulant bait stations were used as a control. The conclusion: Over a seven-month period, the area with the bait stations saw 430 total burrows while the raptor test site saw

6—

— September 6, 2018

145. Similar numbers came from a different area of the slough over a four-month period: 206 total burrows in the bait station zone, 110 in the raptor test site. “From that point, we decided to expand the program and have been removing over 300 bait stations from our levees and dams and replacing them with perches and owl boxes,” said Novak. Kimberly Stroud, executive director of the Ojai Raptor Center, says that she gave Novak tips on how to better construct perches and owl boxes for the program and consulted on their placement. Stroud says that in Ventura County, the primary raptors include red-tailed hawks, great horned owls and barn owls, adding that she rarely handles raptors exposed to rodenticide for one somber reason. “Unfortunately, we don’t get a lot because it kills them,” said Stroud. “The ones we do get are bleeding out.” Rodenticides are anticoagulants, and when consumed by raptors, thin the blood to the point that it begins leaking from every orifice, including the mouth, ears and nose. “We have to give them a coagulant to stop the bleeding and if we don’t get them in time, it’s impossible,” said Stroud, who says that for mammals the effects can be worse than a quick death. “We’ve seen horrible conditions in Ojai in coyotes because of this. They lose all of their fur, get massive sores, and basically starve to death. It’s a pretty horrible death.” Well-known mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains have come to national attention after having succumbed to rodenticide poisoning in recent years. In 2012, the body of a mountain lion was found on a hiking trail in Thousand Oaks, its death the result of rodenticide poisoning. Perhaps the most famous of Southern California mountain lions, P-22, which lives in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park and has been photographed near the Hollywood sign, has also had a run-in with rodenticide — appearing mangy and sickly in 2017 after believed to have consumed prey that had consumed the bait. Novak says that the program has covered 10 dams and eight miles of levees, and that they still “have a ways to go.” “Our goal is to replace all of our bait stations with perches and owl boxes,” said Novak, adding that gopher mesh, an expensive but very effective way of preventing damage to dams and levees, will also be utilized to complement the raptors. “We’re just working through it one site at a time now as we have resources to commit to it.” ✦ Novak will present “Raptor Pilot Study – Rodenticides” on Tuesday, Sept. 11, at 7:30 p.m. at the Poinsettia Pavilion, 3451 Foothill Road, Ventura.

The Newcastle disease, a virus deadly to chickens, has been discovered in Ventura County, and authorities are asking backyard chicken keepers to be vigilant. Ventura County Animal Services announced on Wednesday, Aug. 29, that the disease had been detected by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, after a bird owner reported a sick chicken on his property. VCAS says that this is the first case of the disease seen in Ventura County in “a long time,” noting that affected birds have been euthanized and that the situation is being monitored. The disease, formerly known as Exotic Newcastle Disease, is highly contagious and deadly in birds and is found in phlegm and feces. Signs of illness include sneezing, coughing, nasal discharge, green watery diarrhea and more. Backyard bird owners are asked to restrict bird movement of current flocks and not to bring any new birds into said flocks for the time being. VCAS says that any backyard birds brought in for the time being will be humanely euthanized as an active biosecurity measure to prevent the spread of the virus. For more information, contact the Sick Bird Hotline at 866-922-BIRD (2473).

OAK VIEW STUDENTS RECEIVE EXPANDED CLASSES, SCHOLARSHIPS

First 5 Ventura County has received funding for two grants funding Oak View families’ Parent and Child Together classes and preschool scholarships. The funds come via the Chris and Zelda Kunkle Oak View Community Foundation and the Bert M. and Mildred O. Dahl Fund through the Ventura County Community Foundation, and are available for Oak View families via Ojai Valley Neighborhood for Learning. “This grant funding is timely and especially significant because it allowed us to offer summer classes for the first time ever in Oak View, and increase our fall programming,” said First 5 Ventura County Executive Director Petra Puls. “Providing educational opportunities for our youngest Ventura County children is critical for their long-term academic success.” A total of $26,800 was awarded to First 5, with $25,326 designated for preschool scholarships and PACT classes.

MODERN DAY GIRL SCOUTS Central Coast troop members set goals high for the future BY ALICIA DOYLE | ALICIA@ALICIADOYLE.COM

he Girl Scouts have been dedicated to girl leadership development since 1912 — before women had the right to vote. Today, Girl Scouting is considered by some the best leadership program in the world for girls, now offering the opportunity to earn national cybersecurity badges and learn other skills that will help prepare them for the 21st century. “As the world’s girl leadership development expert, our outcomes prove that Girl Scouting’s time-tested and research-backed program works,” said Jody Skenderian, Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast. The girl-centric safe space to try new things coupled with the variety of challenging proficiency badges and activities offered allows girls to build camaraderie, take healthy risks, gain confidence and build character, she said. Additionally, only Girl Scouts can earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement earned by girls who complete a project that positively impacts their community while learning skills that help them gain access to college and careers while building their confidence. “Millions of women alumnae attribute their current well-being and success to the skills and experiences they attained in Girl Scouts while being mentored by caring adult volunteer leaders,” Skenderian said.

23 NEW BADGES

Girl Scouting has been active along the Central Coast since the 1920s. The current council was formed when two councils — Tres Condados Council and the Monterey Bay Council — aligned to form Girl Scouts of California’s

— September 6, 2018

Central Coast in 2007. While Girl Scout membership overall has seen a decline nationally, “Along the Central Coast, our membership has remained relatively consistent in comparison, along with a strong retention rate above the national average,” Skenderian said. Today, there are more than 10,000 girls involved with the Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast. They are composed of the Girl Scout Daisies for kindergarteners and firstgraders; the Girl Scout Brownies for secondand third-graders; the Girl Scout Juniors for fourth- and fifth-graders; and the Girl Scout Cadettes for sixth- through eighth-graders. There are also the Girl Scout Seniors for freshmen and sophomores and the Girl Scout Ambassadors for juniors and seniors. Most recently, in 2017, Girl Scouts launched 23 new badges in STEM and the Outdoors. Badges in robotics, race car design, engineering, troop camping and civic engagement — the Good Neighbor Badge — are among the offerings. Additionally, in May of 2018, Girl Scouts announced the plan to rollout new cybersecurity badges. “To encourage girls to become the experts who can meet future cybersecurity challenges, GSUSA and Palo Alto Networks are teaming up to deliver the first-ever national cybersecurity badges for girls in grades K-12,” Skenderian said. “In September 2018, 18 badges will introduce cybersecurity education to millions of girls across the United States through compelling programming designed to increase their interest and instill in them a valuable 21stcentury skill set.”

FOUR PROGRAM PILLARS

Girl Scouts offers four program pillars through the Girl Scout Leadership Curriculum: Outdoor, STEM, Life Skills and

Entrepreneurship. “Girls choose skills and activities to pursue based on their interests,” Skenderian said. Girls in Girl Scouting are still able to earn legacy badges at every age level. “Badges focused on first aid, cooking, painting, pet care, woodworking, and camping — from cabin camper to survival camper — are still an integral part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience today,” Skenderian said. Girl Scout Juniors and older are also able to participate in the council’s biannual Kaleidoscope camporee, which includes a series of skill-building challenges like fire-building, knot-tying, lashing, orienteering and more. “And our members also have access to the outdoors through camping and program at Camp Arnaz, 36 acres of beautiful outdoor space located in Ventura for campers of all experience levels,” Skenderian said.

GIRL-LED

Girl Scouting always has been, and always will be, girl-led. Girls decide what they are interested in trying, discovering or experiencing — to explore their potential or to solve a community problem, Skenderian said. With a wide variety of fun and challenging activities — whether she chooses to pitch a tent and learn wilderness survival skills, earn the Musician Badge, learn to code a computer game or build an audio library for blind youth in Thailand — “She’ll be inspired by her experience and on her way to a lifetime of leadership that will set her up for success through the world’s largest network of women as a Girl Scout alum,” Skenderian said. In fact, Girl Scouts recently launched a new Girl Scout Network through LinkedIn so that generations of Girl Scout alumni can connect.

GIRL SCOUTS CREATES GREATER OPPORTUNITIES

While girls may have opportunities at school or at home, in Girl Scouts, girls get to have experiences in unique ways that cultivate a strong sense of self, build character and encourage innovation and risk-taking that ultimately prepare them for success in their adult lives. “In fact, Girl Scouts report a higher level of well-being; they display positive values, are more civically engaged, they are able to problem-solve and they maintain healthier relationships,” Skenderian said. Girl Scouts’ highest honors include the Bronze, Silver and Girl Scout Gold Award — the highest award in Girl Scouting. “A high school girl who has completed the Girl Scout Gold Award has completed a sevenstep project and solved a community problem,” Skenderian noted. “Further, she has distinguished herself as a leader in the college application process, can earn college scholarships and can enter the military one rank higher.”

AMINA PASHA

Sixteen-year-old Amina Pasha has been a Girl Scout for a decade since joining when she was in the second grade. “I wanted to be a Girl Scout because I wanted to be part of a community where our sisters work as a team to make a difference in our community,” said Amina of Westlake Village, who’s a member of Troop 60497. She learned to be more social, made more friends, and had the opportunity to teach younger girls how to be Girl Scouts. “I learned how to communicate with adults, which eventually led to me starting my own business, NatNatNatural,” she said, “and I

learned how to take action to make a change in my community by completing my Silver Award in sixth grade and Gold Award in 10th grade.” The best skill she learned was public speaking. Today, “I feel comfortable to speak in front of any crowd … comfortable debating in JSA (Junior State America), and comfortable sharing my ideas,” Amina said. Thanks to Girl Scouts, she now feels ready to take part in her community. “Whether it may be the Persian community, Westlake community or my youth community, I know that I can step to new challenges and make a difference,” she said. Being a Girl Scout has changed her life by giving her opportunities she never thought she would experience — including serving in the role of camp counselor. She bridged to become a Junior in San Francisco with her elementary school troop, got to work with Boy Scouts on her Silver Award project, where she beautified the Secret Garden at Cornerstone Elementary, and she worked with the Cancer Support Community to interview the children in Kids’ and Teens’ Circle and publish a book for her Gold Award. “These are just the few experiences I had in my 10 years because Girl Scouts of America gave me the chance to find my true self,” Amina said.

SIERRA ENGEL

Sierra Engel’s mom was a Girl Scout, and she also had a couple of friends that had fun and beneficial experiences as Girl Scouts, “so I wanted to become one, too.” The 12-year-old of Ventura, who’s been a Girl Scout since the first grade, is a member of Troop 60385. Her favorite skills learned initially were to tie different knots, prepare meals and sew. “Now it is the lifesaving ability to do CPR and first aid because you never know when and where you might need it,” Sierra said. Being a Girl Scout has prepared her for the future in many great ways, she said. “I am more confident in myself and I have tested my endurance in the outdoors hiking and backpacking,” Sierra said. She has also gained leadership skills by leading meetings, speaking and performing in front of large groups, and in mentoring younger scouts like her sister, Sedona, who just finished her first year as a Daisy. “Girl Scouts has positively changed my life because of the lifelong skills, memories and friendships I’ve gained throughout the six years I’ve been a member,” she said. Also, the charity work she has done has been very rewarding. Some of the community service projects her troop has done include building benches at their elementary school, collecting toiletries and helping serve meals to the homeless, collecting blankets and making toys for local animal shelters, collecting and buying clothes and backpacks for foster children, and caroling to seniors and veterans in nursing homes. “For any girl who is considering joining Girl Scouts I recommend it 100 percent,” Sierra added.

MIRIAM VIE

Eleven-year-old Miriam Vie of Ventura has been a member of the Girl Scouts for about six years. “I initially wanted to become a Girl Scout because of all the fun outdoor activities I heard we would get to experience — camping, archery, hiking and even horseback riding,” said the member of Troop 60385. Out of all the skills and lessons she has acquired from Girl Scouts, her

favorite is teamwork. “This is because by working together you can accomplish so much more,” she said. Today, “I know for sure that being a part of the Girl Scouts has prepared me for the future.” “This is because being a Girl Scout has taught me many important skills and life lessons that I will eventually take part in, such as social skills, acts of community service, teamwork and public speaking,” Miriam said. Being a Girl Scout has beneficially changed her life “because it feels really good to do good things for the community together as a group — singing holiday carols to the elderly, and serving food at the homeless shelter.”

HELPING GIRLS ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL

The ultimate goal of the Girl Scouts is reaching all girls to help them achieve their full potential, Skenderian emphasized.

She noted that California ranks 29th in the nation for girl well-being according to a recent study published by the Girl Scout Research Institute, “a statistic we are focused on improving.” “We know Girl Scouts can make a difference from the 2017 Girl Scout Impact Study, which provides compelling evidence that Girl Scouts stand out significantly from non-Girl Scouts, demonstrating more well-rounded lifestyles,” Skenderian said. Outcomes include that Girl Scouts are more likely to: • Have a strong sense of self • Have positive values • Seek challenges and learn from setbacks • Develop and maintain healthy relationships • Exhibit community problem-solving skills “In the study, Girl Scouts also earned excellent grades, are expected to graduate from high school and college, desired challenging careers, and expected to have a great future

more likely than non-Girl Scouts,” Skenderian said. “If more girls participate in the Girl Scout leadership experience, we will improve girl well-being overall.” In an effort to continue leading girls to reach their full potential, Skenderian added, “We do need volunteers.” These include both parents of girls and those who may not have children currently in the Girl Scout program, but have skills, talent and a desire to change the lives of girls. “When dedicated, nurturing volunteers come into the Girl Scout program, they not only find it truly personally rewarding, they quickly experience that they are giving girls a gift of a lifetime, and supporting the future well-being of their communities and the wider world,” Skenderian said.

ARTivism to feature documentary and workshops at Bell Arts yrics. Paint. Movement. Words. Thread. These are the welcoming arms of artivists. “Artivism,” a combination of “art” and “activism,” is more than a clever word mash-up. It’s a form of fierce but blusterless advocacy whose peaceful proponents use art as a peaceful tool to inspire social change. It’s also the title of an event (stylized as “ARTivism”) taking place on Sunday, Sept. 9, at the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura. The free community event will feature a screening of the film Little Stones, a documentary about four women who use art to raise awareness about women’s rights issues, followed by workshops to show participants how to flex their own artivist creativity. The event’s sponsors are a mix of local artists and activists: The Acorn Project’s Reel Advocacy Series, Ojai NOW, Coalition for Family Harmony, Ventura County Women’s Forum Collaborative, Girls Girl Club, Buenaventura Art Association and Bell Arts Factory. Elizabeth Jurgensen, president of Ojai NOW, plans to present a “Word Collages” workshop in which participants contribute short words or phrases to create a collective art piece. “It will demonstrate the power of words spoken as a group,” Jurgensen said. According to Jurgensen, the arts as an activism tool “affect us on a level our intellect doesn’t.” The arts can “make us feel connected, and are more inclusive. Not everyone is a politician, or a lawyer, or can give money to causes. But anyone can write, or draw, or do something creative that expresses what they think is important.” The impetus for and centerpiece

THE OUTSOURCED COMEDY TOUR

of ARTivism is Sophia Kruz’s 87-minute documentary Little Stones, which The Acorn Project’s program developer, Alyson Warner, saw in March at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York. The screening included a panel discussion with the film’s director and four subjects. “Even before going to the U.N., the idea of an artivism community organizing event appealed to me,” Warner said. Speaking to filmmaker Kruz and the artists in the film helped solidify the idea. Among other honors, Little Stones won best documentary at the Vail Film Festival and best foreign documentary at the Female Eye Film Festival. The film, with an all-women production crew, highlights four women activists. Panmela Castro is a Brazilian graffiti artist who uses street art to raise awareness about domestic violence. Dancer and sociologist Sohini Chakraborty uses dance therapy to help victims of sex trafficking in India. She has worked with more than 65,000 victims, and trained more than 50 survivors to become dance therapists themselves. Anna Taylor is a fashion designer who founded Judith & James, a clothing line featuring clothing made by poor women in Kenya. She presented her first style collection in 2014 at New York’s Fashion Week. Rapper Sister Fa, who is from Senegal but now lives is Berlin, uses her music to raise awareness of female genital mutilation, which she endured herself as a child. (Note: Because of the film’s adult themes, ARTivism organizers don’t recommend the event for young children.) Director Kruz, at a TEDx event at the University of Michigan, said that

MUSIC E-40 coming to Ventura Theater

PHOTO BY SHERVIN LAINEZ

by Kateri Wozny “Fo sheezy,” “pop ya collar,” “you feel me” and “playboy” are just some of the coined phrases that fans will hear from legendary rapper E-40 at the Ventura Theater this weekend. E-40, otherwise known as Earl Stevens, hails from the North Bay region of San Francisco (or as he likes to call it, the “Yay Area”) and is the king of introducing slang to hip-hop. Nicknamed “The Counselor” because of his influence on the Bay Area’s rap scene, the 50-year-old is still in full force with 25 studio albums under his belt, each known for its fast flow, funky melodies and

The Gin Blossoms return to Ventura on Sept. 11 by Alicia Doyle

ineties alt-rockers the Gin Blossoms celebrated the 25th anniversary of their multiplatinum album last year. The band is touring in support of its new album, Mixed Reality, which will be showcased during a performance at Discovery Ventura on Sept. 11. “The idea [behind the album] was that everybody bring the best three songs and we recorded these songs — something different that we’ve never done before,” said guitarist Scotty Johnson. For Jesse Valenzuela, guitarist and vocalist, “It’s been fun. And Scotty’s got a song, ‘Still Some Room in Heaven,’ that’s really working.” The Gin Blossoms formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona, with Valenzuela, bassist Bill Leen, Robin Wilson on vocals and guitar, drummer Phillip Rhodes and guitarist Doug Hopkins making up the core of the band that would go on to success with such hits as “Hey Jealousy.” The band weathered the tragic death of Hopkins in 1993, but broke up in early 1997. The members stayed in touch, however, and reunited in 2002. Today’s lineup includes Leen, Valenzuela and Wilson, with Johnson and drummer Scott Hessel coming on board in recent years. The Gin Blossoms’ latest album, Mixed Reality, was released on June 15 via Cleopatra Records, and features 15 songs, with Wilson, Leen, Valenzuela and Johnson all contributing material. It’s uncommon for four members of a five-member band to write songs,

but it has worked in the Gin Blossoms’ favor as Mixed Reality has received critical praise across the board. “As much as we are children of our influences, we managed to do something that was both familiar and original,” Wilson explained of the new album, adding that he was able to “tap into a younger version” of himself when writing songs. One of Wilson’s four new tunes is “Break.” Leen and Johnson also have two co-writes, including “Still Some Room in Heaven.” Valenzuela contributed four songs as well, including “Angels Fly.” And the band’s offkilter sense of humor shines through the audio-verité snippet, “The JFK Shit Show.” “We’re at the point now where we play better, we communicate better, we get along more,” said Wilson. “We’re more grateful. It’s a very full-circle thing for us to be releasing Mixed Reality.” Most recently, in 2017, the Gin Blossoms celebrated the 25-year anniversary of their seminal, multi-platinum album, New Miserable Experience (A&M Records), which spawned four Top 40 hit singles, including “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You,” and kept the band on the charts for almost three years. To date, the crossover hits from the album have sold more than 5 million records. Those hits were followed up by “Til I Hear It From You,” which skyrocketed to No. 1 and moved the Empire Records soundtrack to platinum status. This song was co-written with Marshall Crenshaw, and Billboard magazine described it at the time as, “the closest thing to a perfect pop song to hit radio in recent memory.”

Their next song, “Follow You Down,” spent 10 weeks in the Top 10, and “As Long As It Matters” earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best Performance by a Duo or Group, making their 1996 Congratulations I’m Sorry album (A&M Records) another multiradioformat favorite and multiplatinum success. In 2017, the Gin Blossoms were inducted into the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame. As far as the upcoming show in Ventura is concerned, Valenzuela said, “We practically own that town. Ventura is one of the first places that we actually brought in a crowd. We’re kind of the kings of Santa Barbara and Ventura.” He particularly remembers drawing the college-age crowd, who “seemed to gravitate to us because we’re immature and like to have fun.” In the band’s early days, they used to play in Ventura but never stayed downtown “because we didn’t have the bread,” Valenzuela recalled. “So we’d stay at these hotels outside of town and shared a parking lot with an In-N-Out Burger . . . and getting into town for a few hours was always fun.” “We haven’t played in Ventura for a couple of years now, and we love to play there — it’s beautiful,” he added. F The Gin Blossoms perform on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. at Discovery Ventura, 1888 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura.

car-shaking bass (also known as “mobb music”). He credits early ’80s hip-hop groups such as The Sugarhill Gang as musical influencers when he created his sound. Stevens made his debut onto the music scene in 1986 with his band The Click. In 1989, he founded his independent record label, Sick Wid It Records. The rapper dropped his first independent studio album, The Federal, in 1993. Stevens’ first mainstream hit to break into the Billboard Hot 100, “Captain Save a Hoe,” landed him a deal with Jive Records in 1994. In 1995, his second studio album, In a Major Way, featured West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur (“Dusted ’n’ Disgusted”) and debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200. The album was later certified platinum. A string of successful albums and critically acclaimed tracks followed. But it was in 2006 that Stevens achieved mainstream success, releasing his breakout album, My Ghetto Report Card, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and featured the club dancing hits “Tell Me When to Go” and “U and Dat.” Hot off the presses is E-40’s 25th studio album, The Gift of Gab, and critics are hailing it as a bold return to form for the legendary influencer. Fans are equally excited, as it has brought the rapper out on the road again. He comes to the Ventura Theater on Sept. 8, with opening acts Nef the Pharoah and OMB Peezy (both signed to Sick Wid It). The album is also the first installment in the artist’s Definition series, which includes the as yet unreleased Rule of Thumb and Practice Makes Paper. At the end of the day, what matters most to the rapper is the success of others and that everyone deserves to get paid. He donates to charities such as the Vallejo Salvation Army and his former middle school to help those less fortunate. “What I want for myself, I want for others,” Stevens said in a recent Instagram post. F E-40 performs on Saturday, Sept. 8, at 8 p.m. at the Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut St., Ventura. For tickets and more information, call 805-653-0721 or visit www.venturatheater.net.

Time to groove at the Oxnard Jazz Festival by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com

eady to get your party on? The third annual Oxnard Jazz Festival returns to Oxnard State Beach on Saturday, Sept. 8. This feast of jazz, Latin, soul, blues and R&B has been a welcome success since its launch in 2016.

Operation Finale

IN GOOD TASTE

vcreporter.com

by Dave Randall daverandall2@gmail.com

Operation Finale Directed by Chris Weitz Starring: Ben Kingsley, Oscar Isaac, Mélanie Laurent, Nick Kroll Rated PG-13 for disturbing thematic content and related violent images, and for some language 2 hr. 2 min.

ne of the most compelling images of television’s first 15 years was not seen live in the Unites States. Before the Telstar satellite first beamed pictures across the continents, video tape reels were flown to New York and around the globe, so the world could see Adolf Eichmann, architect of the Holocaust, behind bulletproof glass, on trial in an Israeli courtroom. Operation Finale is based on a true story: the May 1960 capture of Eichmann by Israeli Mossad operatives at a bus stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Directed by Chris Weitz (About a Boy) and written for the screen by Matthew Orton, one could describe this film as a taut, serious depiction of facts. The details are well-known. Eichmann was a Nazi monster who eluded justice, living quietly for 15 years, raising a family in an Argentine community of expatriates from the Third Reich. How his cover was blown is fascinating, as are the nuts and bolts of the plan to catch him. How his captors get him from a safe house to an Israeli courtroom is the “make or break” heart of the movie. It helps enormously that Ben Kingsley plays the hell out of Eichmann, from the top of his bed-knob skull down to his formerly jack-booted feet. The 75-year-old Kingsley has vibrated the screen with a myriad of roles, as both hero (Ghandi) and villain (gangster Don Logan in Sexy Beast). Kingsley nails Eichmann’s manipulative evil, as the former Nazi sits, masked and handcuffed, interrogated by the operatives charged with spiriting him out of Argentina. He uses all of his das-

22 —

— September 6, 2018

tardly wiles to frustrate his captors, alternating condescension and cunning. Kingsley’s performance works effectively with the tension created by the close calls that nearly compromise the operation. Another key to the story is Peter Malkin, the Mossad officer who physically collared Eichmann as he walked from a bus stop. (The scene is shot at the actual bus stop in Buenos Aires.) Malkin, who died in 2005, wrote the memoir Eichmann in My Hands, upon which Operation Finale is partially based. Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) plays Malkin, a man haunted by the death of his sister, Fruma, during the war. Another actor, more prone to scenery-chewing rage, may have ratcheted things up. Isaac, however, plays Malkin as a man whose tempest is internalized, its thunder rumbling in the distance of his psyche. He struggles with himself throughout. Eichmann works the small kindnesses Malkin offers, finding his buttons and coldly pushing them. While rationalizing Nazi atrocities, Eichmann tells Malkin, “We’re all animals. Some of us just have bigger teeth.” Other members of the Mossad team include Hanna Elian (French actress Mélanie Laurent), the doctor charged with keeping Eichmann sedated when need be; and Rafi Eitan (Nick Kroll). It’s a well-cast movie, though the players are planets orbiting Kingsley’s sun. Operation Finale provides some heart-quickening moments, but not like a fictional thriller. We see a depiction of retribution, a cathartic tale that tamps down the spinetingling for a portrait in dedication. The Mossad agents, here, aren’t nearly as icy and single-minded as those in Munich. For some, the film may suffer because of that. Yet you cannot deny that given the horror, the tragedy, the gravity of Nazi atrocities in World War II, what is resolved is worthwhile. The portrayal of the operatives’ risk-taking and dedication yields satisfaction at the sacrifice of pulse-pounding intensity. Historians are good with that. Most filmgoers are, too. ♦

irst visit: Sunday. Lunchtime. Elbow to elbow, packed to the gills, pun intended. Noisy, and did I say very crowded? Friend orders the cod fish and chips at the counter (line is long but moves quickly) and her order is ready soon after. I order the special: “Lobster Sensation Stir-fry” ($18.99). I wait. And wait. And finally when I inquire about my order, despite my buzzer lighting up, I am told it takes 15 minutes or more to prepare. My friend, Maxine, a longtime customer of many years, digs into her fish and chips and declares, “There is a discernable difference — and not for the better.” I examine and find the batter way too thick. Maxine is none too happy — it’s been a decade since this paper praised Andria’s fish and chips. The buzzer goes off and I claim my huge pile of rice pilaf topped with slices of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, onion and a healthy portion of chopped lobster from … ? The hard-working cooks behind the counter are not sure where the lobster is sourced from when I inquire, and say they will “find out.” I return to the counter to see what the answer was: “Georgia!” they said. Georgia? Georgia? Who knew Georgia had lobsters? (Some research reveals that a person would have to dive 75 feet, at night, to catch a very strong spiny lobster off the coast of Georgia). The portion size, accompanied by a strange sweet-andsour sauce, was huge and there was enough to take home plenty in a “Georgia lobster to-go” box. Whoopsy. That wasn’t quite right. Turns out that Miguel, our knowledgeable saving grace in the restaurant’s small fresh fish market, cleared up the error. “It’s Maine lobster — it doesn’t come whole, but prepped in pieces,” he told us as I bought a salmon steak to take home. “Only a few places sell salmon steaks anymore,” he

told us, noting that, “the bones add more flavor.” Miguel was right. I took the piece of fish home and prepared it simply with butter and lemon and it was one of the best pieces of salmon I’ve had in a long time. Maxine bought a slice of fresh ahi tuna, and declared the same via email report: “Had the ahi for dinner tonight — it was delicious!” The menu options are extensive, from the buoy (sourdough bread bowl) filled with clam chowder $9.90 or a small bowl for $4.50, to charbroiled halibut or salmon ($22-24). Tons of deep-fried choices on the menu range from shrimp or scallops to oysters or clams. There are items for the non-fish lover: charbroiled garlic, Parmesan or teriyaki chicken; meat,chicken and fish burgers and fries. There’s a kids menu, natch. And a rotating selection of imported beers and wines. I went back for a second visit on a Tuesday for lunch — the restaurant was also busy, with a line out the door to order — to sample the cioppino ($17.70), a fish stew with Italian-American roots, in a tomato-garlic-saffron broth that originated in San Francisco and uses fish of the day. This version, which included salmon, shrimp, tasty tiny clams and a couple of sweet tiny scallops in an unremarkable tomato broth, also had a ton of vegetables (seemingly the same carrot slices, broccoli and cauliflower mix as used in the stir fry) and cheese on top. The whole purpose of ordering (or cooking) cioppino is to indulge in a bounty of the sea, not the garden. It was accompanied by tasty garlic French bread for dipping into the sauce; I didn’t take home the leftover veggies. There are many seating options: plastic tables and chairs under umbrellas next to the parking lot; a cooler, fenced-in outdoor area; inside tables near the busy order counter and utensils station; a quieter indoor area between the pickup station and the small fish market, and the front enclosed patio with glass surrounded with harbor and mountain views. Our conclusion? Shop the fish market and make your own cioppino, leaving the prepared dishes for those who enjoy this harborside casual eatery — including “Andria’s Famous Clam Chowder” made from scratch daily using the family recipe, by the bowl or an entire meal served in a hollowed-out loaf of French bread. It’s been a staple in Ventura since 1982 for the tourists and longtime loyal fans who favor hustle, bustle and nostalgia over flavor. ♦

Mock love to me

y boyfriend has this irritating habit of making fun of my outfits or my spray tan. When I get upset, he says I’m being “sensitive.” I try to look cute for him, and I just don’t think it’s funny for your boyfriend to mock your appearance. Is this his issue or mine? If it’s his, how do I get him to stop?

— Unhappy It’s probably tempting to give him a taste of his own medicine: “Baby, I did not use the word ‘small’ in describing your penis. I called it ‘adorable.’ ”

Pitch-slapped I’m a woman who’s very feminine and considered pretty. However, I have a deep voice — to the point where I’m sometimes mistaken for a man on the phone. I’ve learned to laugh about it, but it sometimes makes me feel bad, especially when I hear a bunch of other women talking. How do people feel about women with deep voices?

Women with deep voices are — if not more likely to rule the world — more likely to be perceived as the dames to do it.

— Feeling Low

OK, so you sound like you’ve been smoking unfiltered cigarettes since you were 3 years old. In social situations, nobody’s mistaking you for Darth Vader in a dress. On the phone, however, they’re missing the visual information. There’s only the audio. In other words, those who think they’re hearing a man are not making some sneering judgment about your femininity; they are simply reacting based on averages — how, on average, women tend to have higher, chirpier voices. On a positive note, according to research by social-personality psychologist Joey T. Cheng, women with deep voices are — if not more likely

to rule the world — more likely to be perceived as the dames to do it. In Cheng’s experiments, both women and men with low-pitched voices were viewed as more dominant and higher in social rank. That’s probably why former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, while running for office in the ’70s, worked with a speech coach to deepen the pitch of her voice. This helped her make the transition from cuddly mummy to “The Iron Lady” — as she was nicknamed by the Soviets. Try to remember that you’re a package as a person. Your voice is just part of the entire “very feminine” you. Maybe relabel your voice “sultry,” like those of some of the sexiest screen babes — for example, Scarlett Johansson and Lauren Bacall. This might help you feel a little better when you have those dismaying “Excuse me, sir. Who’s calling, please?” experiences — as a deep-voiced friend of mine recently did. “MOM! It’s me. Your daughter!” she yelled into the phone. ♦ (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. Got a problem?

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Now is an excellent time to feel and explore and understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here’s a list of sadnesses from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer: sadness of the couldhave-been; sadness of being misunderstood; sadness of having too many options; sadness of being smart; sadness of awkward conversations; sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things; sadness of going unnoticed; sadness of domesticated birds; sadness of arousal being an unordinary physical state; sadness of wanting sadness.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Do you have any feral qualities lurking deep down inside you? Have you ever felt a mad yearning to communicate using howls and yips instead of words? When you’re alone, do you sometimes dispense with your utensils and scoop the food off your plate with your fingers? Have you dreamed of running through a damp meadow under the full moon for the sheer ecstasy of it? Do you on occasion experience such strong erotic urges that you feel like you could weave your body and soul together with the color green or the sound of a rainsoaked river or the moon rising over the hills? I ask these questions, Taurus, because now is an excellent time to draw on the instinctual wisdom of your feral qualities.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“Close some doors today,” writes novelist Paulo Coelho. “Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” I endorse his advice for your use, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to practice the rough but fine art of saying NO. It’s time for you to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don’t; about where your future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won’t; about which

24 —

relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which tend to push you in the direction of mediocrity.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

To casual observers you may seem to be an amorphous hodgepodge, or a simmering mess of semiinteresting confusion, or an amiable dabbler headed in too many directions at once. But in my opinion, casual observers would be wrong in those assessments. What’s closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes that are ripening in the fog. Here’s another image that resonates with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One further metaphor for you: the bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose plant, which only bloom at night.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

I want to make sure that the groove you’re in doesn’t devolve into a rut. So I’ll ask you unexpected questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions. Ready? 1. How would you describe the untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2. Is there a rare object you’d like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you’d love to attend and how it might change your life for the better. 4. What bird most reminds you of yourself? 5. What’s your most evocative and inspiring taboo daydream? 6. In your past, were there ever experiences that made you cry for joy in ways that felt almost orgasmic? How might you attract or induce a catharsis like that sometime soon?

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

By volume, the Amazon is the largest river in the world. But where does it originate? Scientists have squabbled about that issue for over 300 years. Everyone agrees that the source is in southwestern Peru. But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? There are good arguments in favor of each. Let’s use this question as a poetic subtext as we wonder and meditate about the origin of your life force, Virgo. As is the case for the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. But I suspect that’s going to change during the next 14 months. And the clarification process begins soon.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

When Warsan Shire was a child, she immigrated to the UK with her Somalian parents. Now she’s a renowned poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants and other marginalized people. To provide support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or fugitive or displaced person, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I offer you two quotes by Shire. 1. “I belong deeply to myself.” 2. “Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself — what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Recreate and repeat.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“Once in a while came a moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you.” So says a character in Alice Munro’s short story “Jakarta.” Now I’m using that message as the key theme of your horoscope. Why? Because you’re at the peak of your ability to be reached, to be touched, to be communicated with. You’re willing to be keenly receptive. You’re strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you’re so firmly anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are?

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

In 1928, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her friend Saxon Sydney Turner. “I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading,” she confided, “since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.” My usual inclination is to counsel you Sagittarians to focus on one or two important matters rather than on a multitude of semi-important matters. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m departing from tradition to suggest that you adopt Woolf’s approach to books as your approach to everything. Your life in the coming weeks should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Not many goats can climb trees, but there are daredevils in Morocco that do. They go in quest of the delicious olive-like berries that grow on argan trees. The branches on which they perch may be 30 feet off the ground. I’m naming them as your power creature for the coming weeks. I think you’re ready to ascend higher in search of goodies. You have the soulful agility necessary to transcend your previous level of accomplishment.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

From 49 to 45 B.C., civil war wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy’s interests. In 45 B.C., Caesar brought a contingent of soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa, intent on launching a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he accidentally slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, “Africa, I have tight hold of you!” and clasped the ground, thus implying that he had lowered himself on purpose in a ritual gesture of conquest. In this way, he converted an apparent bad omen into a

positive one. And indeed, he won the ensuing battle, which was the turning point that led to ultimate victory and the war’s end. That’s good role modeling for you right now.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Below are sweet words I’ve borrowed from poets I love. I invite you to use them to communicate with anyone who is primed to become more lyrically intimate with you. The time is right for you to reach out! 1. “You look like a sea of gems.” — Qahar Aasi 2. “I love you with what in me is unfinished.” — Robert Bly 3. “Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born.” — E. E. Cummings 4. “Tell me the most exquisite truths you know.” — Barry Hannah 5. “It’s very rare to know you, very strange and wonderful.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald 6. “When you smile like that you are as beautiful as all my secrets.” — Anne Carson 7. Everything you say is “like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.” — Sylvia Plath Homework: What good old thing could you give up in order to attract a great new thing into your life?

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED April 20, 2005.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1250 FUCHSIA STREET, OXNARD, CA 93036-2210 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $190,843.27 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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

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.

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.

Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 11/21/2018, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint counsel for you.

After making such an order, the Court shall have no power to set aside, change, or modify it, but this shall not be construed to limit the rights to appeal the order.

Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasicommunity, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without

the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. NOTICE - ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca.com . Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506. WARNING - IMPORTANT INFORMATION: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. ÒRDENES DE RESTRICCIÒN ESTANDAR DE DERECHO FAMILIAR.
