OPINION Letters Pickup popularity

I

feel fortunate to live in Ventura County; it’s a beautiful place. But one thing I wonder is why many of its residents gravitate towards driving pickup trucks. This concerns me because pickup trucks, like SUVs, are steadily gaining in popularity. The Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in the nation, followed by three other pickups. This is bad news for the planet. The transportation sector accounts for 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in our state, and pollution near the 101 freeway is often the worst in the county.

This number won’t decrease unless consumers change their preferences and start buying more fuel-efficient vehicles.

In a state of almost 40 million people, what people choose to drive, or not to drive, has a huge impact on tailpipe emissions. Pickups might be a desirable short-term choice, but in the long run, are they worth the toll they take on our health and the planet? I think not.

Kristen Kessler Ventura

Systemic racism I’ve written twice to Congresswoman Julia Brownley asking this question: “Leaving aside the Mueller Report, the President’s daily obstruction of justice, and all the laws he routinely breaks, ... Why aren’t his Human Rights violations, and all the American and International Laws and agreements on refugees and migrants he’s flouting, and the children and adults crammed into verifiably disgraceful and injurious cages and refrigerator boxes — sufficient for impeachment?” Congresswoman Brownley’s response began, “Thank you for contacting me about former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s investigation ...”

On July 19, I wrote back, “I’m sure you are very busy, but your form letter . . . was odd, because I did not contact you about Mueller’s investigation ...” I then asked again for a response to my question. That was July 19.

I haven’t received a response from the congresswoman. (On July 23, the congresswoman signed up with those who had already called for an impeachment inquiry.)

I believe I may have an answer to my question though. I think we must all very seriously consider what many of those who have been suffering from it have been trying to explain to the rest of us. It’s called systemic racism. It is so foundational and intricate to the functioning of our society that even our most wellmeaning leaders operate oblivious to it. If our children, or children who looked like “ours” were dying in government custody, and thousands of others were being jailed for lengths of time well beyond the legal limits, sleeping on cold cement floors in very unhealthy, severely overcrowded conditions, refused flu shots, and without decent nutrition, medical care, or even soap and toothbrushes — regardless of the supposed crimes of the parents they were separated from months before — our collective reaction would be different. Can we doubt this?

And now we know that severely ill children who need to be here in the U.S. for medical treatment to survive, and who were originally

4—

— October 3, 2019

approved to stay here for it, are deliberately being targeted for deportation. It is monstrous to arrange death sentences for children. This is what the United States of America is doing in our name, murdering the children of “others.” Treating people like this may be appalling to most of us, but how disturbing is it really when the victims look different from our unexamined image of who “we” are? How outraged are we at this heinous behavior?

He may not have shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue yet, but if the premeditated killing of children is not disgraceful enough to be an impeachable offense, this country will not, and will not deserve to, survive it.

Commentary on “Cancel Culture” Regarding the opinion piece “Cancel Culture” by Paul Moomjean (Sept. 26, 2019) I am deeply concerned about the haste at which employers and the public rush to judgment whenever an accusation is made of sexual misconduct. How employers are approached by attorneys for the accusers like so many mobsters, giving them the ‘opportunity’ to fire the accused (and pay a nice big ‘settlement’) or face legal consequences. How the corporation finds it less damaging to fire the accused employee and pay off the extortionists rather than defend their often very loyal and talented and valuable employees in court, and see if there are any facts behind the allegations that actually lead to a conviction.

While there are many settlements based on confessions or irrefutable evidence presented at the ‘pre-trial meeting’ with the lawyers, there are many more that are simply corporations choosing to do ‘damage control.’ To throw their often loyal and long-time employee under the bus. To simply save face.

The problem of sex crime accusations leading to legal shakedowns of corporations and the wealthy is not just crime in itself, it is increasingly being used as a tool to target mostly high-profile individuals who happen to be members of the liberal media or liberal political establishment. They are certainly not (as Moomjean wants you to believe) the ones behind these ‘crying-for-cash’ shakedowns.

We currently live in a mad culture, where madness is rewarded if you get mad at the right people, and hire a mad enough lawyer to get mad at their employers.

I often think about why it is so easy for these employers to throw their employees under the bus like this. Without offering any legal defense to their employees. Without so much as asking for their side of the story. And the only answer I can come up with is that it has to be about more than just saving face (or money).

Corporations that act as judge, jury and executioner are just encouraging the rest of society to play judge, jury and executioner, in some sort of sick and sordid conservative political mafia hit game, where they can so easily take out whomever they want, just on the word of some young woman who they can get to cry to an attorney.

Please forgive my rant, and please understand that I am not referring to actual victims of sexual abuse who have immediately

called authorities, preserved evidence (and witnesses) and who has prevailed in a court of law. They all have my deepest sympathies and support.

It’s the legal and desperate opportunists posing as victims of sexual abuse who are conspiring to ruin the careers, friendships, family relationships and marriages of innocent individuals that concern me so greatly.

25 YEARS AND COUNTING Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza to commemorate anniversary with several events

Village Carousel and Arcade (from Facebook)

OFF THE V MERRY-GO-ROUND? Port district may force a move for Village Carousel and Arcade

by Kimberly Rivers

krivers@timespublications.com

L

ast October, Tristan Thames and his mother, Sharon Thames, the owners and operators of the Village Carousel and Arcade in the Ventura Harbor, received a letter from the Ventura Port District letting them know their lease was not being renewed, and a suggestion that they not invest in the space.

“Our business has been in the harbor since the 1970s,” said Thames. The carousel and shops have been in his family since 2001. His father passed away four years ago. “I took it over, and for the last five years, we have been month to month. . . That is a bad situation because I’m unable to spend any money bettering my business,” said Thames.

New video games, for example, cost around $30,000 and take a few years to pay off. “The new games are what bring people in. But I can’t buy new games if I don’t know that I’m going to be here. It’s been a huge downfall for me. I’ve only bought three to four games in the past few years, at great risk. This makes growing my business more difficult and near impossible.”

“A little over a year ago, the port district did an open call for anyone that wants to bid on that space. Zero people entered bids, except for me,” said Thames. The response he received led Thames to surmise that the port district no longer wanted the carousel in the space. “We are kind of a staple here in the harbor, one of the only things for kids to do in the harbor. We are a valuable asset. They are not even willing to talk, they haven’t been [responsive] to the idea to talk about it.”

The letter to Thames, dated Oct. 31, 2018, from Robin Baer, property manager for the Ventura Harbor, states, “the Board of Port Commissioners determined that Ventura Village Carousel would not receive further consideration in the RFP [Request For Proposal] process for 1567 Spinnaker Drive, #100. Your proposed business model would not support full utilization of the 4,900 square foot suite . . . . At this

— October 3, 2019

time the District will continue to keep you on a month-to-month lease. Staff has been directed by the Board of Port Commissioners to pursue alternative concepts for that space and would advise you not to make long term investments.”

“The only action taken was to retain a design team to prepare architectural drawings for a new floorplan design,” said Brian Pendleton, general manager of the Ventura Harbor, regarding the status of site. He responded by email to a request for information about the district’s plans for the carousel location. “A follow-up presentation to our board is slated for this fall, potentially October. Project design is subject to further review and approval by our board and city of Ventura.”

According to the report from the July 17, 2019, meeting of the Port District, the commissioners approved spending $75,000 for Jim McKeown Designs “to prepare architectural drawings and process City of Ventura entitlements of a new floorplan design” in the Village Carousel space and approved budget amounts of $300,000 in two fiscal years, 2020-21 and 202122, for a total of $675,000 for improvements.

McKeown prepared “alternative concepts” for the site that involve splitting it up with “alternative uses” identified as “arcade games, virtual reality, retail, entertainment etc.” The concepts are slated to come back before the commission in October for review and final approvals and then the plans will be submitted to the city of Ventura.

The report states that the space is 5,798 square feet and says, “Triston and Sharon Thames are welcome to submit a proposal at the appropriate time.”

Asked what he’d like the district to do, Thames said, “Give me the opportunity to do the upgrades,” as well as a longer-term lease.

He has plans for four years of improvements on hold because of the uncertainty with a month-to-month lease. He expressed frustration, saying,“We want to stay and be part of this community.” ♦ The next meeting of the Ventura Harbor Port Commission is on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Ventura Port District Office, 1603 Anchors Way Drive, Ventura. As of press deadline the agenda is not yet posted.

entura County residents who embrace the arts can celebrate during the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza’s (TOCAP) 25th anniversary community events.

“Curtain Up” will take place on Friday, Oct. 4, 5-10 p.m. while “Timeless Thousand Oaks” will take place on Sunday, Oct. 13, 1-4 p.m.

According to the TOCAP website, the facility opened in October 1994 and sits on three acres consisting of the Fred Kavli Theatre and the Janet and Ray Scherr Forum Theatre.

More than 400 performances are held annually between the two theatres. “[TOCAP] is not just a theatre, this is a gathering place,” said Niki Richardson, development director for Thousand Oaks Alliance for the Arts (TOARTS). “The community truly comes to connect with this cultural crown jewel of Ventura County.”

“Curtain Up” will showcase five decades of food at the Fred Kavli Theatre starting with the 1970s to the present time. As an example, the 1970s decade will be based on the movie Saturday Night Fever and contain a pasta bar with a paired cocktail and a chef in costume.

“We figured we’d pay homage to all of those years with a creative, artistic spin,” Richardson said.

Attendees can also participate in raffle drawings, a live auction that includes a guitar signed by artists who have performed at TOCAP over the past 25 years, listen to keynote speaker Thousand Oaks Police Chief Tim Hagel and witness a donation presentation from TOARTS to support local Title 1 schools. Live performances include jazz musician Herb Alpert and the Don Randi and Quest band.

Two permanent art installations, including a wall detailing the venue’s history and performing artist signatures on ceramic tiles, will also be unveiled.

“It will be available to the public for the very first time,” Richardson said. “It’s a one-of-a-kind event and we are excited to chart the course for the next 25 years.”

“Timeless Thousand Oaks” will include tours of both theatres, live musical performances, food trucks, a family-friendly firefighter agility course where kids can test their endurance, a raffle with

gift cards and baskets from The Lakes at Thousand Oaks and touch-a-truck with vehicles from the Conejo Valley Recreation and Park District, Thousand Oaks Public Works Department, Ventura County Fire Department and Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

“Kids can see what these trucks look like up close, learn about them and meet public servants,” said Dusty Russell, assistant analyst for the City of Thousand Oaks.

City department interactive booths will also be on display, including a storm drain demonstration from public works and a virtual reality display with a flying drone from Thousand Oaks Television. Residents will also have the opportunity to share their input for the city’s general plan, which is being updated for the first time in 50 years.

“It’s the blueprint for the city,” Russell said.

“Residents are encouraged to come together and provide their input on what the city’s future will look like.” ♦ For more information or to purchase tickets to “Curtain Up,” visit www.toarts.org/curtainup/. Tickets are $250 per person. For more information about “Timeless Thousand Oaks,” visit shoplakes.com/events/25th-anniversarycelebration-with-city-of-thousand-oaks-civicarts-plaza/.

“costly game”

Ojai locals confront pesticide spraying in town hall meeting

Connor Jones, East End Eden Farms, Ojai

— October 3, 2019

E

vents and experiences are converging in the Ojai Valley, starting a groundswell response to an issue that has been marinating in Ventura County for decades: agricultural pesticide use.

“What the hell is happening? Of course the farmers are scared. I don’t want to hurt them, we want to help them,” said Diane Ladd, the 84-year-old actor and resident of the east end of Ojai. “That is our goal, but I’m not going to stand by and let them hurt me … it is a costly game they are involved in.”

Ladd is working with fellow community members organizing in the Ojai Valley to force a community conversation and action. Last Saturday, Sept. 28, about 300 people signed a petition at a town hall meeting in Ojai asking for steps to reduce pesticide spraying in the area.

In her office at her comfortable home, with her troupe of dogs at her feet, Ladd spoke about how she became acutely aware of the chemicals around her and how they are impacting her life.

“I’m healthy now, till they spray again. Do I want to take more antibiotics and steroids and be on the breathing machine again? No, I don’t. I’ve got work to do,” said Ladd, pounding her fist on the wood desk. She describes respiratory issues, scar tissue in her lungs and problems with her esophagus that required a procedure to correct. “I’ve got films to make, books to write. I’ve got a life to live and they have no right to interrupt my destiny.”

“I live here on the east side, and for years I did not pay attention. Of course I knew they were spraying,” she said with a subtle southern accent signaling her southern roots.

Her home is surrounded by the orange orchards that make the Ojai Valley a picturesque place. She recalled an incident of spraying near San Antonio School a few years ago.

“A huge farm was being sprayed . . . and they have the sign on the ground of the skull and bones.” Ladd saw mist from the machine “rising and drifting towards the school . . . and the kids were all playing at lunchtime. So I called the school and said ‘get your kids inside, somebody is spraying poison.’” She couldn’t do more at the time — she was traveling a lot — and the incident fell to the back of her mind.

This summer, an incident with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Murray, brought it full circle.

“On June 7, I let my dog out for maybe 10 minutes at about 11:30 [at night] to go pee and when he came back in it was horrible,” she recalled. “He moved like a train on a track and he wouldn’t stop. It was like a comet. He was terrorized . . . he had something on his paws. He was trying to lick it off and he was trying to climb the walls . . . We couldn’t stop him, my husband and I. Finally he turned over, with all four paws in the air, and had a seizure. Then

he had a second seizure.” She called the veterinarian, “I got him out of bed and he met me at the clinic [in Ojai].

He put Murray in an oxygen chamber that saved his life.”

She spoke with the vet by phone the next day to ascertain what had happened. After hanging up, “five minutes later I got a text from Rebecca Tickell . . . she sent a photo of a helicopter spraying . . . and said, ‘shut your windows and your doors — they were spraying yesterday and today.’”

“So we were at home, it was June 6, and a helicopter flew over our house,” said Rebecca Tickell, who lives off Cuyama Road in Ojai with her two children and husband, Josh. The Tickells are documentary filmmakers, focusing on environmental issues, but this was the first time they were experiencing something in their own backyard.

“It was an aerial spraying helicopter. That morning we all started sneezing . . . our eyes got irritated, we were congested and honestly it made us feel a little confused, foggy, like it was hard to think.” She said they decided to “evacuate” to Santa Barbara. “As soon as we got to Ventura we opened up our windows and we stopped sneezing. That acute allergic reaction we were all having stopped. It was obvious we were having a reaction to the chemicals that were landing in our backyard. Literally.” Tickell said she reached out to neighbors, who shared a recent letter from a nearby grower.

“Our neighbors had gotten a letter from Barnard Ranch that they were going to be spraying,” Tickell said, noting that the letter was needed to protect her neighbors’ bee hives. “The last time they had done that they killed all of their bees. Well, our bees died right after that happened; we found a bunch of dead bees around our house.” Tickell wanted to know what Barnard Ranch was spraying.

She was referred to a woman named, “Anita, at Mission Produce, and after I was hounding her to tell me what was sprayed, maybe it was three requests, she finally got back to me a week later . . . it was Timectin and summer spray.”

The letter from Mission Produce states that Timectin and IAP Summer Spray Oil are used as part of the “mandatory” spraying program. Summer Spray is listed as approved for “organic production” and is a “narrow range petroleum spray oil.” Chemicals used for pest control are mixed with various oils as part of the application process.

Directions for application state that “aerial applications only when weather conditions do not allow ground application.”

“This is the annual time of the year where mandatory spraying needs to take place, the County is also conducting their spraying in the area,” stated Anita Lemos, vice president with Mission Produce in an email dated May 31 notifying Tickell’s neighbor about spraying scheduled for June 8.

“Unfortunately, we have to spray along with the County.”

Timectin is the brand name of a product containing Abamectin, an insecticide approved for use on various

crops including citrus and avocado trees. The manufacturer label states possible effects from exposure include “muscular incoordination, muscular tremors,” and that the product is “harmful if absorbed through skin . . . toxic to fish and wildlife . . . do not apply to water.”

Regarding the potential for drift, the label reads, “highly toxic to bees…do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target areas. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting treatment area.”

“When I read that [text from Rebecca], I said, ‘mother of god, my questions just got answered, my dog got poisoned,’ ” Ladd recalled. She began to see evidence of chemical spraying all around her. “How much spray is going into the air of California?”

“Josh and I have a long history of working on these environmental issues, especially around pollution,” said Tickell. They were in Louisiana in 2010 in the wake of the British Petroleum oil spill. “Everyone was told, ‘it is safe, everyone come down there, swim in the water, it is safe.’ Then we come to find out after that it was not true, so many people got sick as a result of that. So this is not the first time where we’ve been in a community where pollution was happening and the people were told that they were safe, and the people knew that that was not the case. And this just happens to be literally in my backyard. So it’s a little different than it was in the past, it's more personal.”

Town hall meeting in Ojai – act local, think global For the past 10 years, Ventura County joined with other citrus growing areas in ramping up pesticide spraying in an attempt to prevent, first, the arrival of the Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP), and second, after the bug arrived here a few years ago, to prevent its spread and stop the spread of Huanglongbing (HLB), a disease caused by a bacteria which is transmitted by the ACP. HLB decimates citrus trees.

This summer the Ventura County Farm Bureau announced that a group of specially trained dogs had detected the deadly bacteria at farms across the county, including the Ojai Valley. This created a push by those agencies to work to get more growers to participate in the voluntary preventative spraying program.

Activists calling for changes in conventional agricultural systems have responded with science data pointing to healthy soil as the answer.

“The answer is to maximize the diversity and strength of the life in the soil. When you have healthy,

biologically alive soil and a healthy ecosystem, pests and disease-causing organisms don’t take over and toxic pesticides are unnecessary,” said Patty Pagaling, executive director of the Ojai-based nonprofit organization Transition to Organics. She is referring to data from Dr. Elaine Ingham, “a renowned soil microbiologist,” as a way to combat the spread of HLB using regenerative agricultural methods. Pagaling has been working in the Ojai Valley on this issue since 2008. “Biodiversity is the key to a balanced, healthy ecosystem. From a healthy regenerative ag perspective, it just doesn’t make sense to spray poisons into our air for us to breathe and into our soil where food is grown.”

Johnathan Katz, a citrus grower in the Ojai Valley who supports regenerative methods, described the increased spraying in response to the ACP as a “response bungled by the regulators of conventional agriculture,” and said the increased spraying has “made the situation worse,” because the chemicals kill the microbes the soil needs to be healthy, in turn making the trees more susceptible to disease.

After a broad discussion about the economics of agriculture, the need to grow for local consumption, and how soil microbes are vital for human health, Eric Cutter, a biochemist and a regenerative farmer at Alegria Fresh in Irvine, spoke about how he grows 60 different plants on “2,000 square feet and feed[s] five families.” He pointed to some thick, dark soil on the table in front of the stage that was used in a demo showing how healthy soil holds water. The humus-filled soil came from land farmed in Ojai by panelist Connor Jones. “That is black gold, you can grow anything in it.” ♦ For more information visit www.transition-to-organics.org Information about regenerative agriculture: www.ojaicra.org Proceeds from the sale of Diane Ladd’s book, Spiraling Through the School of Life, are being donated to fund blood testing for those impacted by spraying. www.dianeladd.com

Time traveling through the decades in Downtown Ventura

I THOM YORKE TOMORROW’S MODERN BOXES

t’s not easy to escape the stress and trappings of our modern world, so here’s a suggestion: Try a bit of time travel. Two current exhibits make it hard to say no.

Califor nia Cool: Mid-century Modernism on the Central Coast, on display at the Museum of Ventura County through Feb. 21, is described as an exploration of the “popular design movement in interior and graphic design, architecture and urban development from 1945 to 1965.” What it feels like is stepping into the lives of some incredibly cool, immensely talented people. You wouldn’t be surprised if Mad Men’s Don Draper (after he loosened up a little in California) offered to fix you a dry martini while you lounged in a Z Chair

plenty enough to satisfy you here.

As the exhibit literature explains, the Central California Coast was (and is) very attractive to some of the most forward-thinking architects, designers and artists of their generation; not just because the area is spectacularly beautiful and a great place to live, but because artists and architects found kindred spirits and willing patrons here.

Those artists included legendary architects such as Richard Neutra and Rodney A. Walker. The exhibit features photographs and floor plans

10/1/19 11:21 AM

of some of their works found in the area. Images of the McSorley House in Thousand Oaks, the Moore House in Ojai and the Tremaine House in Montecito, all designed by Neutra, show how the homes embody the essence of “California cool,” with wide-open spaces that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living and large windows that look out onto spectacular views.

Also featured are photographs of the Walker House in Ojai by Rodney Walker, the Lukes House by Fred Hummel, the Geifer House by Paul Tuttle and other notable homes. Each photo offers an inside look into an era when, as chief curator Anna Bermudez explains, “architecture, art, music and design merged to form a modern awareness based on living well.”

The rest of the exhibit focuses on an abundance of items that appointed those lives well-lived, including pottery, furniture, paintings, carvings and other art.

Perry Owen paintings and Evelyn Acker man tapestries and wood panels share the space with works by renowned ceramists Tom McMillin, Stan Bitters, Beatrice Wood, and Otto and Vivika Heino.

There’s a fish lamp by Mitchell Bobrick, fur niture by the likes of Paul Tuttle and Dan Johnson and more. There is so much to admire.

T he exhibit also has a few films on offer. The documentary Eames: The Architect and the Painter (2011), directed

by Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey and narrated by James Franco, is about the influential designers Charles and Ray Eames. Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner (2008), directed by Murray Grigor, celebrates the visionary architect. Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman (2008),

by Eric Bricker, looks at the work of the renowned architectural photographer.

watching them while in the midst of work created by mid-century masters.

In the adjacent gallery is a fun collection of everyday items, from clothes and handbags to household appliances, that were popular during the era.

The voyage through time continues up the street and a few decades later, as in the 1970s and 1980s, where Namba Performing Arts Space presents works

by Michael O’Kelly and Joann Daley.

On display and for sale are pen and ink drawings which O’Kelly transferred onto brushed aluminum. The effect is unique and beautiful and the detail is exquisite. His subjects include a Chinese terracotta soldier and Mayan figures, which O’Kelly originally drew for the Encyclopedia of Ancient Cultures in the late 1970s. “They look like artifacts,” notes O’Kelly, who is perhaps best known for his ceramic tile mural detailing the history of the city of Ventura located in front of the San Buenaventura Mission.

Also part of the exhibit are several works by Joann Daley, which O’Kelly has put up for sale. They include Daley’s original painting for the Porky’s Revenge movie poster and a portrait of pro surfer Tom Curren. A pop culture icon, Daley did work for Marvel comics, Playboy magazine, Harlequin book covers and, most notably, for movies like Creepshow and Scanners. “She was a really fine artist,” says O’Kelly. The exhibit, which will run for several weeks, is open for viewing when classes and other events at Namba are not in session.

Well worth a trip downtown and through the decades, California Cool: Mid-century Modernism on the Central Coast and the works on display at Namba Performing Arts Space are a doorway into another era. Step in, relax and enjoy. You’ll want to take your time while you’re there. ♦ California Cool: Mid-century Modernism on the Central Coast through Feb. 21 at the Museum of Ventura County, 100 E.

Indian classical vocals and the bright, uplifting guitar work of Ortolano play well with each other, harmonizing as if they were a natural fit. Coupled with percussion from Gurung, the group has performed for curious audiences and has recently released its first album, Sunrise.

As a child, she says that music was “as important as food and water.” With Atmasandhi, Natarajan says This facial is packed with that fusing her culture with the sounds of different genres of music is like second nature. vitamins A & C, Pumpkin Making a unique sound from many different parts Enzymes exfoliate your skin isn’t always easy, says Natarajan, but when it clicks, it & provide a beautiful glow! becomes a moving experience.

years old, sometimes semi-professionally. Ortolano says that his wheelhouse is what he’s currently doing with Atmasandhi.

“I’m playing something I’ve always really enjoyed, it’s what I do best,” said Ortolano. Prior to Atmasandhi, his experience with world music came in a Latin jazz outfit.

With his Spanish guitar, the band is given a more exotic tone. “A lot of what I do is more complimentary to her, in support of her vocals. It’s as much out front as it was in the Latin jazz band.”

Ortolano echoes Natarajan’s feelings about why he joined the band, adding that Natarajan’s voice is “exactly what [he] loves.”

“I’ve always loved Indian music, the tabla, the melodies,” said Ortolano. “I’m always looking for that type of sound; it’s very appealing to me.”

When asked to define the sound of Atmasandhi, Ortolano states simply that it’s in the name.

“It’s the type of music a wide variety of people can like. From old to young, people who like rock music, who like jazz, even people who are more into heavy metal, I don’t have one specific description for it, it’s very worldly,” said Ortolano.

“I don’t think people know what to expect, they expect typical Indian music than what we do,” said Natarajan, pointing toward a style of Indian music known as Raga, which relies on heavy improvisation. Because of this trait of the music, Natarajan says that a live performance of Atmasandhi can slide along the scale of upbeat to somber in a moment’s notice.

“The Spanish guitar tends to get a little more funky and they aren’t expecting it, and also the selection of songs that we do go from really upbeat to something that is almost like water, like the sound of a lake,” said Natarajan. “Expect to be surprised, expect to have fun and expect to have a smile on your face and you can actually expect tears of joy. This is a music that connects with the soul.” ♦ Atmasandhi will perform on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 8 p.m at Namba Performing Arts Space, 47 S. Oak St., Ventura.

A treasure trove of tasteful tones in Downtown Ventura W

hen I first settled in Ventura County, several of my newly made friends informed me that on Tuesday I could hit up downtown and take in a movie, mai tai and some tacos for roughly what a pint of Pabst Blue Ribbon costs in L.A. This “local day” extravaganza truly is a gem to experience, and now a tradition of mine. Until recently, I would meander along on my “pub crawl,” pass by the vacant building on the corner of California and Main and wonder why the hell it was unoccupied. After a brief flirting session with a certain art institute, the idyllic location is now pulsing with a vibrant atmosphere in the form of Finney’s Crafthouse and Kitchen.

Wisely utilizing the natural light of the space, Finney’s has a duplicitous layout, using a strategically placed brick wall as a partition which separates the main dining area and bar. I chose the bar side as it was the only available seating, an encouraging sign considering it was 3 o’clock. Many of the patrons were (I assumed) partaking in the excellent offerings at happy hour (MondayFriday, 3-6 p.m.).

With over 30 beers on tap and a boastful selection of wine and craft cocktails, Finney’s libation game is on point. I went with the cucumber sour beer, which was light and refreshing, punctuated with a tart bite. I also decided to pick a few appetizers from the happy hour menu to kick off my culinary quest.

The first dish I entertained is a favorite of mine, Buffalo cauliflower. This buzz dish has been seen on many

menus lately, and the iterations aren’t always up to stanZZZ ZZZ dard. Thankfully this was not the case here, as Finney’s delivered a heaping portion of crunchy and spicy delight.

My second choice, however, was the real show stealer: the fried chicken and waffle bites. Served on a pillowy Belgian waffle and glistening with honey butter glaze, the crispy chicken tenders and their partner danced a ballet of bliss. Amalgamating sweet, salty and just Monday – Friday 2 – 7pm enough pepper in the breading for spice, the bites were a Our weekly Newsletter treasure trove of tasteful tones.

daverandall2@gmail.com Judy Directed by Rupert Goold Starring: Renée Zellweger, Jessie Buckley, Michael Gambon, Finn Wittrock Rated PG-13 for substance abuse, thematic content, some strong language and smoking 1 hr. 58 min.

C

an one accurately call it a comeback when an actor takes back their own life, then returns in triumph? Or simply a case of picking up where one left off ? Renée Zellweger took a self-imposed sabbatical from a career that garnered her one Academy Award in three nominations, and the eternal love of British fans for her portrayals of Bridget Jones, regardless of the fact that she’s not a Brit. There couldn’t have been a better vehicle for her reemergence than the role of Judy Garland.

Judy, adapted by Tom Edge from Peter Quilter’s Broadway smash, End of the Rainbow, is all Zellweger’s. She absolutely inhabits Garland’s specific skin: the brilliant, troubled belter of songs, possessor of delicate sensibilities.

My own first memory of this kinetic star was an image on a 27-inch Packard Bell television in our living room. A woman in stirrup pants with a white microphone and a long white cord, gingerly pawing past runway footlights, and words super-imposed on the screen: The Judy Garland Show. I had not yet entered kindergarten, and this was clearly my mother’s favorite TV show. Despite her devotion, and that of a million others, the show was a crashing failure. Judy picks up the fragile Garland’s life four years later. She’s near penniless, deemed a risky hire, emotionally teetering, physically spent from decades of uppers, downers, cigarettes, booze and bad relationships. Ah, but that voice! The brio. The bravura. And Zellweger literally channels her.

No stranger to singing and dancing, as her Oscarnominated performance in Chicago demonstrated, Zell-

weger outdoes herself embodying the aspects of Garland’s persona: her ticks, quirks, gestures and vocal inflections. Though her singing voice is short of the raw power Garland’s had, her interpretation is uncanny.

The story dramatizes Garland’s five-week, 1968 engagement at London’s Talk of the Town supper club, a gig that arrives when Garland is at her nadir — she’s had to leave her school-aged children, Lorna and Joey Luft, with ex-husband and nemesis, Sid (Rufus Sewell).

To make the London show work, she must also do battle with another enemy: herself. British empresario Bernard Delfont (Michael Gambon) is high on her star power, but places a minder, Rosalyn Wilder (Jessie Buckley), in charge of seeing to Judy’s needs, and getting her on stage.

Her eventual fifth husband, Mickey Deans (Finn Wittrock), years her junior, shows up early on to first brighten Garland’s hope, then leave her disappointed.

Director Rupert Goold uses flashbacks at critical points to reveal the teen Garland (Darci Shaw), on the MGM set in the 1930s, manipulated by Louis B. Mayer (Richard Cordery), the martinet mogul who kept her starving and slim, and on a regimen of pills to wake her up and put her to sleep. Those glimpses back, and the disintegrating portrait painted by Zellweger, provide a cause and effect for Garland’s life. That someone so talented could have been so exploited, first by her parents, then by the studio system, is a tale as old as entertainment itself. The film may be a bit pro forma, but that’s an insignificant fact when weighed against Zellweger’s performance.

The Academy Award nominations are about four months away, so there’ll be a glut of highly regarded releases that might eclipse Judy in the memories of Academy voters. No one, however, will forget Zellweger. Garland herself was denied the Oscar for A Star is Born, but Zellweger should be the favorite to win for playing her. Another poignant reality: When the credits rolled at the sold-out matinee I attended, revealing that Garland was only 47 when she died in 1969, a gasp went up from younger members of the audience. Zellweger’s incredible work in Judy is both a love letter, and an education. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Murk In Progress

I’

m in a weird place in my life: My work situation’s up in the air, and there’s a lot of uncertainty in my romantic life and my living situation. Friends are telling me to be patient and live in the moment, but I’m finding all of this not knowing extremely upsetting. Is there anything I can do to feel less anxious?

— Distressed When everything seems uncertain, it’s easy to go really dark: “Please forward my mail to the refrigerator box in the underpass where I’ll soon be living with my fiance, the cat.”

by amy alkon Decision researchers have consistently found that we humans have a strong “ambiguity aversion” or “uncertainty aversion.” We get seriously unsettled by the big foggy monster of the unknown: not knowing what’s going to happen or not having enough information or expertise to reasonably predict it.

As for what’s going on under the hood, brain imaging research by neuroeconomist Ming Hsu and his colleagues found that the amygdala — an area of the brain tasked with spotting threats and mobilizing our response to them — was more activated in response to “ambiguity” (that is, when research participants asked to make decisions had information withheld from them).

This freakout by our brain’s Department of Homeland Security would have been a good fit in the ancestral times in which it evolved. Back then, an uncertain world was an especially life-threatening world, because there were no antibiotics, fire departments, or rubber-soled shoes. These days, however, we’re living in a world vastly safer than the one our psychology is adapted for.

This one’s got countless cushions which make disasters go down less, well...disastrously.

To tamp down the queasiness of uncertainty, verbalize your fears.

Research by neuroscientist Matthew Lieberman suggests this depowers

the amygdala by putting the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s reasoning center, to work. Tell the story of your worst fear in each of your uncertain situations: Your boss not only fires you but chases you out of the building with a broom. Then, carrying a box of your stuff, you come home to your roommate in bed with your boyfriend. Then you go out for a beer, only to return to a smoking pile of ash where your apartment used to be.

Obviously, you’d prefer that none of this happen. However, you aren’t unemployable or unloveable, and you have friends with couches, and

many of my friends reconnecting with and marrying people they knew years ago — sometimes friends, sometimes exes. Is everybody just desperate, or is dating all about timing?

— Wondering

In your early 20s, you know what’s vitally important in a partner: that he doesn’t have “weird nostrils” or wear a belt buckle with his own name on it.

Then you do some living and maybe get shredded by a relationship or two, and your preferences change. In short, context matters.

Context is simply your personal circumstances, and it includes factors like your own mate value, the man-woman ratio where you are (or the availability of samesex partners if you’re gay), and whether you’re in a hurry to have a baby before your ovaries retire to a cabin.

It turns out that when looking for partners, we have a budget. It works like it does at the supermarket. You can buy the finest steak and lobster and then starve for the rest of the month, or you can shop more in the Top Ramen and lunchmeat arena and keep yourself consistently fed.

Evolutionary psychologist Norman Li applied this budgetary approach in researching partner preferences. Prior research had poor methodology, simply asking, “Hey, what do you want in a partner?” Well,

To tamp down the queasiness of uncertainty, verbalize your fears. there’s Airbnb. (Worst-case scenario — and of course, I’m not actually advising this — you go to the hospital and tell them George Washington is talking to you through your eyeglasses and get three hots and a cot for 72 hours.)

Everything Old Is Nude Again I’m in my late 40s. I’ve noticed

if somebody asks you that — sky’s the limit! — what’s your answer? “Um, is Chris Hemsworth available? How ‘bout Liam?” But when you’re constrained, you have to make tradeoffs.

You have to “buy” the important qualities first — “necessities” versus “luxuries,” as Li put it. When research participants were most constrained, intelligence and kindness were major priorities for both sexes. When budgets expanded, there was more “spending” in other areas, like creativity.

This might explain why people in their 40s suddenly see something in people they tossed aside years ago or maybe just never thought of as partner material. Basically, at a certain point, many people give up on finding the exact right person and look for a right enough person. For some former sticklers, there comes a point when they’re all, “I’m game!” if a guy’s address isn’t WHX134 (his car’s license plate) and he doesn’t have multiple wives (two or three of whom he’s still married to).

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

In 1956, the U.S. federal government launched a program to build 40,000 miles of high-speed roads to connect all major American cities. It was completed 36 years later at a cost of $521 billion. In the coming months, I’d love to see you draw inspiration from that visionary scheme. According to my analysis, you will generate good fortune for yourself as you initiate a long-term plan to expand your world, create a more robust network, and enhance your ability to fulfill your life’s big goals.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Taurus-born Youtube blogger Hey Fran Hey has some good advice for her fellow Bulls, and I think it’ll be especially fresh and potent in the coming weeks.

She says, “Replacing ‘Why is this happening to me?’ with ‘What is this trying to tell me?’ has been a game changer for me. The former creates a hamster wheel, where you’ll replay the story over and over again. Victimized. Stuck. The latter holds space for a resolution to appear.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.” So declared French author Victor Hugo. I don’t share his view. In fact, I regard it as an insulting misapprehension. The truth is that the soul achieves flight through vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions and uninhibited longings and non-rational hypotheses and wild hopes—and maybe also by a few illusions. I bring this to your attention because now is an excellent time to nurture your soul with vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions and uninhibited longings and non-rational hypotheses and wild hopes.

CANCER

by rob brezsny (June 21-July 22):

I know people of all genders who periodically unleash macho brags about how little sleep they need. If you’re normally like that, I urge you to rebel. The dilemmas and riddles you face right now are very solvable IF and only IF you get sufficient amounts of sleep and dreams. Do you need some nudges to do right by yourself? Neuroscientist Matthew Walker says that some of the greatest athletes understand that “sleep is the greatest legal enhancing performance drug.” Top tennis player Roger Federer sleeps 12 hours a day. During his heyday, world-class sprinter Usain Bolt slept ten hours a night and napped during the day. Champion basketball player LeBron James devotes 12 hours a day to the rejuvenating sanctuary of sleep.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Actor and dancer Fred Astaire was a pioneer in bringing dance into films as a serious art form.

He made 31 musical films during the 76 years he worked, and was celebrated for his charisma, impeccable technique, and innovative moves. At the height of his career, from 1933 to 1949, he teamed up with dancer Ginger Rogers in the creation of ten popular movies. In those old-fashioned days, virtually all partner dancing featured a male doing the lead part as the female followed. One witty critic noted that although Astaire was a bigger star than Rogers, she “did everything that Fred Astaire did.

She just did it backwards and while wearing high heels.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you may soon be called on to carry out tasks that are metaphorically comparable to those performed by Rogers.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your number one therapy in the coming weeks?

Watching animals. It would be the healthiest thing you could undertake: relax into a generously receptive mode as you simply observe creatures doing what they do. The best option would be to surrender to the pleasures of communing with both domesticated AND wild critters. If you need a logical reason to engage in this curative and rejuvenating activity, I’ll give you one: It will soothe and strengthen your own animal intelligence, which would be a tonic gift for you to give yourself.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Every time my birthday season comes around, I set aside an entire day to engage in a life review. It lasts for many hours. I begin by visualizing the recent events I’ve experienced, then luxuriously scroll in reverse through my entire past, as if watching a movie starring me. It’s not possible to remember every single scene and feeling, of course, so I allow my deep self to highlight the moments it regards as significant. Here’s another fun aspect of this ritual: I bestow a blessing on every memory that comes up, honoring it for what it taught me and how it helped me to become the person I am today. Dear Libra, now is an excellent time for you to experiment with a similar celebration.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“Depression is when you think there’s nothing to be done,” writes author Siri Hustvedt. “Fortunately I always think there’s something to be done.” I offer this hopeful attitude to you, Scorpio, trusting that it will cheer you up. I suspect that the riddles and mysteries you’re embedded in right now are so puzzling and complicated that you’re tempted to think that there’s nothing you can do to solve them or escape

them. But I’m here to inform you that if that’s how you feel, it’s only temporary. Even more importantly, I’m here to inform you that there is indeed something you can do, and you are going to find out what that is sooner rather than later.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“How inconvenient to be made of desire,” writes Sagittarian author Larissa Pham. “Even now, want rises up in me like a hot oil. I want so much that it scares me.” I understand what she means, and I’m sure you do, too. There are indeed times when the inner fire that fuels you feels excessive and unwieldy and inopportune. But I’m happy to report that your mood in the coming weeks is unlikely to fit that description. I’m guessing that the radiant pulse of your yearning will excite you and empower you. It’ll be brilliant and warm, not seething and distracting.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

I envision the next twelve months as a time when you could initiate fundamental improvements in the way you live. Your daily rhythm twelve months from now could be as much as twenty percent more gratifying and meaningful. It’s conceivable you will discover or generate innovations that permanently raise your long-term goals to a higher octave. At the risk of sounding grandiose, I predict you’ll welcome a certain novelty that resembles the invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Modern literary critic William Boyd declared that Aquarian author Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was “the best short-story writer ever,” and “the first truly modern writer of fiction: secular, refusing to pass judgment, cognizant of the absurdities of our muddled, bizarre lives and the complex tragi-comedy

that is the human condition.” Another contemporary critic, Harold Bloom, praised Chekhov’s plays, saying that he was “one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre.” We might imagine, then, that in the course of his career, Chekhov was showered with accolades. We’d be wrong about that, though. “If I had listened to the critics,” he testified, “I’d have died drunk in the gutter.” I hope that what I just said will serve as a pep talk for you as you explore and develop your own original notions in the coming weeks.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Pisces-born Dorothy Steel didn’t begin her career as a film actress until she was 91 years old. She had appeared in a couple of TV shows when she was 89, then got a small role in an obscure movie.

At age 92, she became a celebrity when she played the role of a tribal elder in Black Panther, one of the highest-grossing films of all time. I propose that we make her one of your inspirational role models for both the coming weeks and the next twelve months.

Why? Because I suspect you will be ripening fully into a role and a mission you were born to embody and express.

Homework: “Privilege is when you think something is not a problem because it’s not a problem for you.”

follows: name Ricardo Mendoza, Date of Birth: 06/09/2004, Place of Birth: Oxnard, CA, Father's name: Ricardo Meza Sr., Mother’s name: Martha Mendoza. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your child. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 11/20/2019, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon as counsel can be heard in Courtroom J1 of this Court at Juvenile Justice Center 4353 Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA 93036. YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED as follows: At the hearing the Court must choose and implement one of the following permanent plans for the child: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 11/20/2019, 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. A thirty-day continuance may be granted if necessary for counsel to prepare the case.

At all termination proceedings, the Court shall consider the wishes of the child and shall act in the best interest of the child. Any order of the Court permanently terminating parental rights under this section shall be conclusive and binding upon the minor person, upon the parent or parents, and upon all other persons who have been served with citation by publication or otherwise.

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. If the Court, by order or judgment, declares the child free from the custody and control of both parents, or one parent if the other no longer has custody and control, the Court shall, at the same time, order the child referred to the licensed County adoption agency for adoptive placement by that agency. The rights and procedures described above are set forth in detail in the California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26. You are referred to that section for further particulars. Michael J.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by: ERIC L. ANDERSON in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that: ERIC L. ANDERSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 31, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. J6. Address of court: Superior Court of California, County of Ventura, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Complex.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

pointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 23, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. J6. Address of court: Superior Court of California, County of Ventura, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Complex/Probate Court.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Thomas E.

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 AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether this sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet W e b s i t e : www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case: R18-06060.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
