Xavier Becerra discusses COVID vaccine, rising healthcare costs

by Alex Wilson

U

.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra listened to the concerns of Oxnard seniors about health care costs and other issues during a visit to the Wilson Senior Center on Nov. 2 as part of a “Latino Health Tour.”

During a speech to a packed room of seniors finishing up a subsidized lunch, the Biden administration cabinet member touted policies aimed at reducing health care costs for seniors as well as the federal government’s progress on the pandemic.

Looking at his phone to access the latest numbers, Becerra said 463 people died of COVID in the U.S. the previous day, and while that’s a far cry from the 4,000 Americans dying daily earlier in the pandemic, he said it’s still equivalent to two big jet airliners crashing every day.

The health secretary explained to the crowd why it’s important to make sure they receive the latest COVID booster shots, saying, “I suspect most of you are going to want to really enjoy the holidays.

We’ve had two or three years where it’s been tough to really enjoy the holidays, to be with all our family, hug and kiss those grandkids and the relatives. If you really want to be able to hug and kiss your relatives for these holidays, please make sure you’re updated on your vaccine. It doesn’t cost you a penny 6— — November 10, 2022

06-07_VCR_111122.indd 6

to get the vaccine.”

Becerra said that while COVID booster shots are currently offered for free, the funding that pays for that will be ending soon and it’s unclear if Congress will keep the program alive. Looking ahead into the future, Becerra predicted that getting the latest COVID shots will become more routine compared to how it is for most people now.

“COVID is heading where the flu is, where we know it’s going to be around, it’s going to have a different variation than a year ago and we prepare for it,” he explained. “It’ll get to the point, we hope, where once a year probably you have to get vaccinated. Maybe those who have lowered immunity have to get it more often. But most of us once a year, just like with the flu.”

In addition to talking about COVID, Becerra highlighted efforts by the Biden administration to lower prescription drug costs, such as capping the cost of insulin to $35 a month. He said a provision in the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act allows the government to negotiate with drug companies on prices.

“Now I’m going to be able to start going to these drug companies to say, ‘Wait a minute, that’s not the price we’re paying. You want to do business with 65 million Americans on Medicare, you’ve got to give a better price.’ And so starting next year, we’re going to identify the first 10 drugs in America under the Medicare program that we will negotiate with the drug manufacturers on,” said Becerra, adding that by 2025 he expects the lower prices to start going into effect.

Following his speech, the health

secretary waded through the crowd of seniors to hear their healthcare concerns, and he also took part in an exercise program offered at the center to help seniors stay fit.

Virginia Velasco, aged 96, presented Becerra with a special gift she had made by hand herself, a blue knitted cell phone holder. Velasco’s daughter Mayra Ceja works at the center and told the Ventura County Reporter about her mother’s gift.

“She said she wanted him to take a little something from Oxnard.

And she’s really proud of the crocheting that you do at the center,” Ceja said. “I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do that.”

Audience members seemed mostly impressed with Becerra’s appearance and gave him a big cheer at the end of his speech. Sharon Sullivan, 78, said she enjoyed the HHS Secretary’s message.

“I thought it was wonderful and positive, you know, good that all these seniors are being taken care of and listened to in Washington,”

said Sullivan, adding that prescription drug costs are a big concern for her family because she has six relatives with diabetes and a daughter with multiple sclerosis.

Becerra met with reporters following the event and was asked by the Ventura County Reporter if it’s getting harder to convince people to take COVID seriously and get the latest booster as time goes on.

“Until it hits you,” he replied.

“When you find out that your mother is now sick and she’s older, you start to worry. You find out that your daughter, who is immune-compromised, catches COVID, now you worry.”

On a lighter note, Becerra said it was great to see the seniors exercising and letting him join in.

“That exercise class that I visited, that’s keeping folks from falling, breaking their hips. That’s going to save taxpayers a ton of money,” he said. “So all these things are good small investments . . . We’re saving probably hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

The passage of four years has not erased the pain suffered by family and friends of the 12 victims killed, or the dozens of people injured, in the Borderline Bar and Grill mass shooting that took place in Thousand Oaks on Nov. 7, 2018. State officials are using the anniversary to remind victims that a 2020 law extended the deadline to apply for help through the California Victim Compensation Board from three to seven years.

Officials said more than $250,000 has already been paid to victims and their families to cover things like mental health treatment.

District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said the impacts of the tragedy continue to ripple through the community. “Survivors of mass violence often have lasting effects, such as physical and emotional injuries, and a long and challenging recovery process. In honor of the four-year observance, we ask you to join us . . . in ensuring those impacted by the Borderline Bar and Grill tragedy will never be forgotten.”

The Ventura County Victim Witness Assistance Center can provide details about help that’s available; visit www.vcdistrictattorney.com/victims. More information is also available at the California Victim Compensation Board at victims.ca.gov.

Ventura climate plan draft ready for public review

Ventura city officials are asking residents to review the draft Climate Action and Resilience Plan, or CARP. The plan includes measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving energy and water efficiency. It’s designed to address state requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below 1990 levels.

Community Development Director Peter Gilli said citizen involvement was critical to developing the plan.

“The drafted CARP incorporated feedback from stakeholder meetings, public workshops and surveys to develop a plan that reflects the values and vision of the community to address climate change and find effective solutions towards energy

vcreporter.com efficiency,” Gilli said.

Comments on the draft CARP will be accepted through Dec. 12 and can be submitted through the city’s general plan website at www.planventura.com.

Overdose prevention meds for Moorpark Unified

Moorpark Unified School District officials are hoping to prevent opioid overdoses by providing the life-saving medication naloxone hydrochloride at each of the district’s school sites. The school board voted unanimously on Oct. 24 to authorize purchasing 72 doses of the medication known by the brand name Narcan which can reverse the effects of a drug overdose.

“Because the health and wellbeing of our students remains our number one priority, Moorpark Unified acted proactively to ensure this life saving medication was available on our campuses,” Superintendent Dr. Kelli Hays said. “Though we sincerely hope this medication will never have

to be used within our school community, we believe it is of utmost importance to have all possible resources available to protect our students and to save a life.”

Officials said that the district’s efforts to help students struggling with mental health or addiction include wellness centers and counselors at campuses.

eme are welcoming the arrival of a new electric-hybrid crane that produces less pollution than one it’s replacing.

“We congratulate our port partner, Ports America, for its newest $7 million investment in Ventura County’s port and in helping us continue on with our legacy as the greenest port in the country,” said Oxnard Harbor Commission President Mary Anne Rooney. “This brand-new, electric-hybrid crane will make us even more competitive for future grants and will help us achieve our path towards port decarburization much faster,.”

Ports America is one of the nation’s leading terminal operators and handles fresh fruit vessel arrivals weekly by Del Monte and Chiquita.

California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks has welcomed its first Black university pastor.

Campus officials said Rev. Scott Adams will offer spiritual support and counseling to students, faculty, staff and administrators.

“I want to create spaces of belonging and safety for people to be who they are, whatever their faith tradition, as well as for nonbelievers and those with individual and group identities who are marginalized in society,” said Adams, who is known as “Reverend Scott.”

Adams previously served as assistant director of interfaith and ecumenical ministries at Loyola University Maryland and senior pastor of Heritage United Church of Christ in Baltimore. He holds a master of theology degree from Duke University’s School of Divinity, and a master of arts degree in theology from Baltimore’s St. Mary’s Seminary.

competitions for decades before she became president of the Malibu Boardriders Club, but the events were never as welcoming to female surfers as she hoped.

That’s why she launched a new movement towards “all lady” longboard contests starting in Malibu with Queen of the Point in June and the second in Ventura last weekend, Nov. 4-6, called Queen of the Cove.

“It’s definitely a passion proj8— — November 10, 2022

ect for me,” Zamora told the Ventura County Reporter on Ventura’s beachfront promenade, as competitors carved turns and hung ten on a warm, sunny afternoon. “I am a long-time surfer and competitor that always felt a little jaded and maybe slighted when it came to competition because surfing’s always been a kind of male-dominated sport.

And now that I’m older and I have these capabilities and experience I decided I wanted to put something on for the ladies that I never had, and give them a platform to really showcase their skills and not be a side event.”

While the coastline near Ventura has been home to hundreds of surfing competitions over the last several decades, the growth and evolution of alternative wave-related sports has led to greater recognition of contests that aren’t the realm of athletic young men shredding on short surfboards.

Another example is waveski surfing, sometimes referred to

Longboards on C Street, Nov. 2022. Photo by Alex Wilson as paddle-surfing, where competitors sit on large-volume surfboards equipped with foot straps and seat belts, and paddle into waves in a manner similar to whitewater kayaking.

The United States Waveski Association scheduled the World Waveski Surfing Titles 2022 in Ventura between Nov. 7 and Nov. 13. Sixty competitors entered, representing 11 countries as far away as Australia, France, Chile and South Africa, nations where the sport has a greater foothold than in the U.S. Yet another upcoming competition in Ventura does away with surfboards entirely. The Ventura Bodysurfing Classic will be held Nov. 26 at the south jetty of Ventura Harbor. It’s the flagship event of the Ventura-based South Jetty Swells Bodysurfing Association and organizers said it’s the final event in the Califor-

nia BodySurf Tour which also includes stops in Santa Cruz and Del Mar.

Waveski’s local ties, international appeal

United States Waveski Association Acting President Roger Adams is a champion waveski rider who has lived in Ventura since 1998, so he considers Surfer’s Point his “home break.”

The New York native started out whitewater kayaking and also enjoyed boating on the Atlantic Ocean. After he bought a waveski he was hooked and started entering contests so that he could be with others who enjoyed the sport as much as he did.

“I went to those just to basically see how it’s done,” he explained. “I stuck with the contest because I would basically be surfing by myself, no one else around on a waveski. So the con-

tests were a good way to find out if I was doing the right moves at all.”

Adams went on to compete in world championships in Hawaii in 1986, Guadaloupe in the Caribbean in 2003, and Spain in 2018. The competition is typically held every other year, but is now making its first return in Ventura following a pandemic-related break.

Adams said Ventura already had a reputation among top waveski surfers. “We’ve been running a contest here since 2008, and a lot of international folks have come to this contest, like the judging, like the venue, and they suggested we run the world here.”

treat Alzheimers patients. If your loved competitors on the steps of Ventura City Hall on Nov. 6. Williams told the Ventura County Reporter that he was enjoying the different foods and customs on his first-ever trip to the U.S. and was excited to get in the water.

“Everything’s pretty relaxed right now, but I can feel the nerves building,” he said. “It’s very suspenseful. I’m a little bit nervous to actually meet my competition.”

Adams said that comradery is one of the best things about waveski surfing since it’s done by fewer people in the U.S. compared to stand-up surfing.

“It’s a really close-knit community and it’s like coming to visit your family every two years. I met people in Guadeloupe that I still communicate with and it’s like a big reunion when we get back together,” said Adams. “We encourage each other to do the best that they can. I think it’s a great contest. There’s a lot of competition, but we all root for each other.”

Another difference between waveski surfing and stand-up surfing is that people with lower-body mobility issues can compete in the sport, which is growing in popularity among disabled athletes.

The Ventura event has a division for adaptive riders, but contest director Doug Copeland said some disabled riders are so strong they enter the open division.

“A paraplegic can still compete at a very high level in an open division against an able-bodied person and beat that person because the upper body is a lot stronger than an able-bodied person,” Copeland said. “It gives them that freedom and that ability to compete head-on against some of the able-bodied counterparts.”

Women taking charge on the waves For 21-year-old Tatiana Cruz of North Hollywood, the Queen of the Cove competition was the first surf contest she ever entered.

“This is one of the spots where I love surfing so it was a full circle. I learned to surf here and then I had my first competi-

08-09_VCR_111122.indd 9

tion here,” she recalled.

She described the competition as “nerve-wracking” at first, but overall it was a fun experience. “I love the culture and making friends.”

About 100 competitors surfed in Ventura’s first Queen of the Cove competition, which enjoyed perfect weather and consistent swells . . . much to the relief of organizer Carla Zamora.

The contest offered a $6,000 prize in the open division and was a far cry from the first surfing competition in which Zamora competed in 1995, when she was 18 years old.

“It was the first year they even had a women’s division,” Zamora remembered.

“There just weren’t that many women that were really being pushed and now everything’s shifted. I had 140 women at my Malibu event. So the need is there.”

Zamora was born in the San Fernando Valley but moved to Malibu when she was 10, where she learned to surf with her father. She now lives in Thousand Oaks and owns a surf coaching business called The Surf Institute while her husband Ian Zavala is a surfboard shaper and photographer.

Zamora said she was happy with the welcoming vibe the Ventura community offered up for the first Queen of the Cove competition. “Everybody has been really supportive of it. And, you know, for a long time, the women have been the ones coming to these events to support the men, and it’s been really nice to see the dads and the brothers and the sons come and support their women. So I like that shift. It’s nice.”

As far as the differences Zamora has noticed about female-focused surfing competitions: “There’s less testosterone, there’s a little bit less ego. Granted, there’s still that competitive nature you see with the girls, but you see a lot more camaraderie, a little bit more female empowerment, and people just encouraging each other to compete and fight for their spot, but to do so with integrity.”

Honoring Mondos Mary NOVEMBER 10, 2022 —

—9

11/8/22 8:14 PM

vcreporter.com The Queen of the Cove competition concluded on an amusing yet touching note with a ceremonial paddle-out honoring pioneer surfer Mary Helen Monks aka Mondos Mary (1919-2009), who grew up near Fillmore and became a local legend in the surfing community.

Kim “Flow” Hansmeier told the Ventura County Reporter that she and her friend Dana Bisenius started a club named in Monks’ honor.

“We are a group of surfing ladies that welcomes everyone, and we’ve nicknamed ourselves the Mondos Mary Surf Sisters.

We have a passion for surfing, having fun, laughing, and we’re really into surfing at Mondos just north of here,” Hansmeier said. “And that’s how we heard whispers of a legend, Mary Helen Monks, who became known as Mondos Mary back in the day.”

Since Monks took up surfing before modern wetsuits were invented, she was known to surf in a wool sweater to keep warm.

That’s why about 20 members of the Mondos Mary Surf Sisters donned woolen thrift-store sweat-

ers for the light-hearted commemoration of her greatness.

“She had a fearless reputation and she would drop into huge waves, 10-foot, 15-foot,” Besenius said, adding that Mary is a “trailblazer” and an “icon.”

“We want to continue to tell her story and inspire other women and other marginalized groups to surfing because it’s so life changing and therapeutic and fun and wonderful for us.”

Bodysurfing history in Ventura County

David and Chris Ford, 47, are twin brothers who have spent their whole lives bodysurfing. It’s a family tradition: Their grandfather William Lucking started bodysurfing about 60 years ago.

“He would gather local professionals from all industries, and they would meet down at the beach on their lunch break and they would go bodysurf for camaraderie and fitness,” David said.

The first official bodysurfing competition was held in 1969, which also marked the founding

of the South Jetty Bodysurfing Association. Today David is president and Chris is vice president.

Numerous family members, both male and female, including the Ford brothers’ parents (now in their 70s) and children, continue to compete in the sport.

“There are days where we’re all at the beach and there’s three generations of us out there enjoying the ocean and enjoying our sport,” David said, adding that the “family” extends across the globe.

“One of the cool things about bodysurfing is just the greater bodysurfing community around the state and the world. We get together with random people four times a year and reminisce about old times and share the love of life through the sport of bodysurfing.”

The competition in Ventura is typically held later in the year than others, when big winter waves can start rolling in, David explained. “We capitalize on winter conditions, meaning larger, more powerful surf.”

“I would call it a legendary event, not only in California, and

reactions, most of the time being, ‘Wow, we’ve never seen anything like that in our life. How do you do it?’” David noted. “They’re used to seeing people riding a wave on a boogie board or a surfboard. And the fact that we are making waves and riding them successfully and making sections just on our bellies is something that they’re not used to. ”

the United States, but around the world for the way it’s organized and the quality of surf that we can expect at our event,” he added. “And that’s just a result of the great waves that come to Ventura and the entrenched community of bodysurfers and the passion that we all have for the sport of bodysurfing.”

About 100 competitors are expected to participate in this year’s event. While David will be handing organizational tasks during the event, brother Chris is looking forward to competing.

“I love being in the ocean,” Chris told the Ventura County Reporter. “So it’s just an opportunity for me to get in the water with everybody and just have fun. I really don’t feel a whole sense of competition too much anymore, but I do like to try my hardest and have fun.”

The competition takes place on Saturday, Nov. 26. David said it’s a blast for spectators, too, who may be unfamiliar with high-caliber bodysurfing.

“Most times, when there’s really good surf, people see us riding waves and we get a lot of mixed

Celebrating art, culture and its local champions

by Mike Nelson

T

hose who attend the 27th annual De Colores Art and Music Festival on Nov. 12 at the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula will be embraced — in spirit — by two of Ventura County’s greatest champions of art, Latinx culture and social justice.

One would be the event’s hometown founder, Xavier “Big X” Montes, who nearly 30 years ago launched the De Colores Festival to promote social justice through Latinx art (visual and performing).

The other would be Ventura County Supervisor Carmen Ramirez, who patronized and promoted artistic endeavors throughout the county.

Both are now gone: Montes died of an illness in February 2020, and Ramirez was killed while crossing the street in Oxnard in August. But their fervent belief in art as a means of education, peace and social justice lives on and will be commemorated at this Saturday’s festival.

“We are dedicating this year’s festival to Carmen Ramirez who was a big supporter of X and De Colores,” says Vanessa Acosta, Montes’ partner and now executive director of De Colores Multicultural Folk Arts Inc., the nonprofit organization that presents the festival. “X and Carmen both believed that art is a valuable and essential way in which we promote greater understanding and appreciation of culture and one another . . . So they’ll be featured in a photo on our altar at the event, not simply 12 —

because they were so important in making the festival an annual celebration of art in the community, but as a reminder that we all need to work for justice for those who live in our community.”

The festival commences with a 10 a.m.

Indigenous peoples-led blessing, followed by a procession led by Ventura County Poet Laureate Luzmaria Espinoza and Chinelo, Chumash and Tonantzin dancers to the courtyard in front of the Agriculture Museum a quarter mile away.

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the works of two dozen Los Angeles and Ventura County artists will be featured in Calavo Hall, as well as performances by the aforementioned dancers; music and dance by Inlakech, Alma Grande and Cali-Mex band Los Fabulocos; and poetry readings by Espinosa, Young Poet Laureate Angelina Leanos, and special guest Chicana Feminist Poet Dr. Naomi Quiñonez, who like Espinoza performed with Xavier Montes.

A product of Santa Paula public schools, Montes earned his bachelor’s in Studio Art and a teaching credential from University of California, Santa Barbara, and became an award-winning acrylic artist, exhibiting his works at museums throughout California. But he returned to Santa Paula, says Acosta, to improve arts education in the local schools.

“He wanted to do something for the Santa Paula community, which is 80 percent Latino, because he saw nothing representing the art of our culture,” she says. “X was also a musician who played the harp, and he wanted Santa Paula youth to be exposed to all kinds of music, including that of their heritage. And he fought for social justice and peace by utilizing music and art.”

His efforts led to the first De Colores Festival in 1993 at the Santa Paula train depot, assisted by friends at the Santa Paula Society for the Arts.

Over time, the festival grew in scope and content to include art, music, dance and poetry from L.A., Ventura and Santa Barbara counties and throughout the state.

Then Montes died in 2020, followed by the pandemic, and the 26th festival was put on hold until 2021 when it was held at Blanchard Library on Oct. 23, which would have been Montes’ 69th birthday.

Admission to the 27th festival is free, and Acosta stresses that while its roots may be in Latinx art and culture, “this is very much a multicultural celebration, and everyone is invited.”

“The arts — music, poetry and dance as well as visual — emphasize the importance of cultures coming together to share their experiences, and understanding what it means to live together as a community. That’s what X and Carmen believed in, and that’s what we will celebrate at De Colores.”

The 27th annual De Colores Art and Music Festival takes place on Saturday, Nov. 12, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., at the Agriculture Museum, 926 Railroad Ave., Santa Paula. A procession to open the festival will begin at 10 a.m., in front of Poder Popular/Centro del Pueblo, 113 N. Mill Street, Santa Paula. More information at 805-525-3100 or 805-616-8272.

IN GOOD TASTE of diced tri tip (you can also get marinated chicken) on top. Simply delicious. In truth, I don’t know much about Ric’s history prior to its sports bar designation, but judging from the quality of its beef dishes, steakhouse certainly seems to be in its DNA. Whether you’re looking for steak or sports . . . or a good meal, period . . . Ric’s is a solid option.

Nachos with tri-tip, chicken tortilla soup with Caesar salad (lower left) and prime beef dip sandwich.

Client: Stiix

Sit at the bar if you want to cheer and jeer with your fellow sports fans, head towards the dining room where the vibe is quieter and a bit more refined, or enjoy some fresh air on the patio. A bit of a pickyour-own-dining-adventure kind of place . . . with enough diversity in the menu to suit the experience you desire. Ric’s has managed to hit all the bases.

hen I think of a sports lounge, I picture screens, functional but otherwise nondescript seating, a noisy atmosphere and pub grub of the not-soupscale variety: wings and fries, burgers and dogs, nachos and potato skins. And lots and lots of beer. It’s the game, not the gastronomy, that’s the focus.

Ric’s Restaurant and Sports Lounge in Camarillo certainly defied my expectations.

To be clear: There are plenty of large televisions from which you can watch teams in the sports of your choice battle it out for the win.

And there’s plenty of beer, on draft and in the bottle. And yes, you can order yourself some wings or potato skins if you are in a bar food mood.

But if you are looking for a finer dining experience with a more mellow atmosphere and quality eats . . . well, Ric’s has that, too. A spacious outdoor patio — with umbrellas for shade on warm days and heaters for chilly nights — is a great spot for, say, a nice brunch or cocktails and conversation. And the handsome dining room, with lots of wood and earthtones, feels more steakhouse than sports bar. In fact, a friend more familiar with the place tells me that in its first iteration, Ric’s

Client: Scandia Laundromat was a steakhouse — and that touch of class remains.

The current Ric’s menu straddles the casual/upscale divide quite nicely. In addition to all the bar food basics one would expect, appetizers include an ahi stack, a spinach artichoke dip and . . . oddly . . . pot stickers. Chicken piccata, butternut squash ravioli and vegetable stir fry join the burgers and wraps.

One of the restaurant’s claims to fame, however, is its prime rib. With that in mind, my dining companion on a recent weekday lunch couldn’t resist ordering the prime beef dip sandwich. It lived up to its status as the “specialty of the house”: layer after layer of paper-thin, meltin-your mouth prime rib, topped with onions caramelized to a rich sweetness and sliced Swiss cheese.

The au jus served with it was good enough to drink straight. Creamy horseradish sauce comes on the side,

I went with the all-you-caneat soup and salad combination, offered as a lunch special. (Not sure if this is always an option.)
