OPINION Power to Speak

My race and ethnicity as a teaching tool

by LaVerne Seales, Ph.D.

E

ver since I arrived in this country, I have had to explain who I am: African American, Afro-Caribbean, African, that works. But an AfroLatina Spanish teacher? Now that needs an explanation.

My race, my black skin — that is what people immediately see.

But it does not match up with the assumptions that people have of me in the United States. My ethnicity, which can be displayed or hidden, is what continually needs an explanation.

I don’t say a word. The assumption is that I am African American. When I speak in English, then I am immediately placed as coming from the English-speaking Caribbean or the African continent. Those assumptions are accepted and seldom questioned. The questions or confusion begins when LaVerne Seales not only speaks Spanish but is a Spanish teacher at the university level, as well as a native Spanish speaker.

It was not until I came to the United States that I seriously reflected on who I was in terms of my race and ethnicity. In Panama, I was simply Panamanian.

At first, I did not understand the

assumptions and, to be honest, I did not understand the implications of choosing to pursue a Spanish language major in college. I can clearly remember the first day I arrived at the university here in the U.S. to take my advanced Spanish literature classes in the Languages Department. Every professor I encountered looked at me and walked to my desk before class started to tell me, and only me, that the course was too advanced and that I should consider a lower level class. I would explain that I was from Panama, which was then shocking to them and everybody else in the class. Then the question was how I made it from Panama all the way to California, and I would say, “I took a plane to LAX.” Once I received my undergraduate degree, I pursued higher education and had a similar reaction from my professors and classmates as I had during my undergraduate studies. I continually had to explain what I was doing in the Spanish Language program. When I became a graduate student and started teaching, things became clear to me very quickly. The first time I walked in to teach in a Spanish language class, I had students walk out before I even opened my mouth to “explain” who I was. At

that point, it all started to click: Ms. Seales was the problem. I saw myself as an immigrant from the Republic of Panama, where it was normal for many nationalities, religions and races to reside and work together, but this was not the case here.

Another reality was that as an undergraduate and graduate student, I had few opportunities to study and write about Afro-Latino writers. The relative quiet surrounding this area of literature in the United States and the Spanish-speaking world provoked me to think about how I could integrate both the traditional canonical writers I had read with less championed voices of writers who had new insight about the nature of Latin American, Spanish and African identities.

I immediately started to research Afro-Latino writers and educate myself about the African American experience in this country to better understand whom students saw when they walked into my classroom. After those experiences, it is not surprising that my research focuses on the Afro-Latino experience and minority voices both in the U.S. and the Spanish-speaking world. I became deeply committed to gender and diversity inclusiveness in my courses.

I saw that my race and eth-

nicity were complex issues, and I became aware that my mere presence in the classroom as a Spanish teacher of Panamanian, Afro-Caribbean and Latino descent was already a learning experience for my students.

I quickly realized that I had a unique opportunity to translate my heritage into a useful pedagogical tool. But before I could do that, I needed to pursue the highest possible degree in the United States, which would give me credibility as a Spanish teacher. That way, when my students saw Dr. Seales as opposed to Miss Seales, they would not walk out before at least listening to what I had to say, because for them I am initially the African American professor who has a doctorate in the Spanish language.

Over the years, I have learned to leverage my race and ethnicity in my courses. “Explaining” myself by sharing my life journey has allowed me to mentor, connect and engage countless students from diverse backgrounds, genders, ages, races and ethnicities, as my experiences in many ways mirror some part of their lives. ♦ LaVerne Seales is a visiting lecturer in the Department of Languages and Cultures at California Lutheran University.

udging from the letter from John Krist in the last VCReporter [Oct. 17, 2019], Mr. Krist is unaware of all the major lawsuits exposing the fraud and lies perpetrated by Monsanto concerning Roundup. And that juries have awarded gigantic sums from $25 million to $2 billion to the victims of Monsanto’s pesticides. One jury found that Monsanto “engaged in conduct with malice, oppression or fraud committed by one or more officers, directors or managing agents of Monsanto.” There are over 18,000 similar cases pending, largely by people suffering from lymphatic cancers. And the fact that glyphosate is turning up in food and water is leaving many large food producers vulnerable to lawsuits.

These lawsuits have also uncovered the fact that many farm organizations just like Mr. Krist’s Farm Bureau and government officials have received payoffs and perks to continue to promote the use of these pesticides.

There is no doubt that these chemicals are extremely harmful and Monsanto has lied and deceived the public for a long time and is now going to have to pay the price for their deceit.

Besides Monsanto’s Roundup, several other toxic synthetic pesticides by other companies, Syngenta and Valent, are filling our lungs in the valley. One is a “neonic,” banned in many countries.

On the label: “toxic to wildlife . . . highly toxic to bees.” Another is a neurotoxin implicated in causing Parkinson’s disease. On the label, “extremely toxic to fish . . . toxic to wildlife . . . highly toxic to bees . . .” And then there’s Actara, a neonicotinoid pesticide by Syngenta, which is banned in many countries, and was going to be banned in the U.S. as well, before the Trump Administration rolled back the ban in 2018. On the label: “This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates . . . highly toxic to bees . . .” The list goes on.

But Krist is right about one thing. We want people to get upset and fearful of all the poisons being dumped on our food, water and air. It’s time this stops.

Then again, maybe Mr. Krist is uninformed and ridicules organic farming because he’s not a farmer but rather just a PR man who can’t even get the name of the director of transitionto-organics.org right.

The movement is a mobilization of Jewish people and supporters who recognize common threads between current immigration trends in the U.S. and the history of the Holocaust.

Adam Schwartz with Never Again Action will present a talk and lead a discussion about the obligation of the Jewish community and their friends to defend any group experiencing persecution.

“When I saw pictures of human beings fleeing oppression being forced into camps I became worried,” said Schwartz. “When I heard of children dying I became determined . . . to put myself on the line to be on the right side of history.”

Eye On The Environment HALLOWEEN’S SCARY WASTE CAN BE MANAGED

by David Goldstein

A

t Halloween, we confront our fears and have fun with spooky sights. It is also a time of some scary amounts of waste.

According to a recent article in Redbook, written by Kelly Marages and distributed through the main MSN.com login screen, Americans will spend about 3.8 billion dollars on Halloween candy, 3.4 billion dollars on costumes and 370 million dollars “dressing up their pets” for Halloween this year. Also, according to Marages, 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins are produced on over 90,000 acres in the U.S. each year.

Of the waste resulting from these activities, candy wrappers are the least amenable to a solution. Etsy projects cleverly upcycle or reuse folded wrappers in items such as bracelets, and recycling can be accomplished through TerraCycle, but these are not viable options for many people. Recycling through TerraCycle requires mail-in and a $43 fee for the smallest-sized mailer pouch.

One solution is to distribute something other than candy for Halloween. You risk disappointing trick-or-treaters, but you can avoid buying a product packaged in non-recyclable wrapping and (possibly) transported thousands of miles to serve no nutritional purpose. A dentist I know once distributed toothbrushes, but now just keeps his lights turned off.

Halloween waste from costumes can also be reduced. Cheap, plastic, disposable costumes will quickly become waste, but durable, reus-

6—

able costumes look better and last longer. Shop at thrift stores for high-quality, low-cost costumes, and donate your used costume to a thrift store when you are done with it.

The Camarillo Family YMCA, at 3111 Village at the Park Drive, will host a costume exchange program Oct. 22-31, and it is open to nonmembers. In its lobby, the YMCA charges just $10 per costume and $1 for accessories such as masks, hats and magic wands. If you dropoff a costume, you get a $10 dollar voucher for a new costume. Acording to Paige Harris, youth programs department head, the YMCA will also have costumes left over from last year. The exchange will relocate to the Halloween at the Y event on Saturday, Oct. 26, 5:30-8:30 pm. — which is free and also open to nonmembers.

Pumpkins, the last of the three main Halloween wastes, can be easily managed. Unadorned pumpkins, including seeds, may be recycled in your curbside yard waste cart. Pumpkins, like fruit from landscape trees, are an exception to the general rule against food in yard waste carts in Ventura County.

If you have attached self-adhesive plastic rhinestones, glue-gunned beads, studs, rivets or other unnatural decorations, however, put pumpkins in your garbage cart. No one wants Halloween pumpkin bling contaminating the F compost of their spring flower beds.

In Brief EIGHT CONFIRMED INJURIES FROM VAPING IN COUNTY

Ventura County physicians sent 10 patient histories to the state that they felt were consistent with severe respiratory injuries related to vaping; the state verified that eight of them met the profile.

“They approved eight of them in the county… as being what is classically being seen,” that is consistent with vaping injuries, said Richard Levin, M.D., Ventura County Public Health officer.

He said the patients came to their doctors with “severe respiratory distress, pneumonia,” and were treated with antibiotics. When the patients “don’t get the expected result,” improvement in their symptoms, that indicates the issue is not a typical infection but rather, the lungs are actually injured.

Levin emphasized that while many members of the public associate symptoms such a nausea, vomiting and diarrhea with influenza, he said only about 25 percent of people who have the flu exhibit those kind of “gastrointestinal symptoms.” In contrast he said the pattern with injuries from vaping includes those symptoms most of the time.

“95 percent of the people presenting with respiratory distress associated with vaping also have gastrointestinal symptoms…vomiting, diarrhea and nausea, one or more of those symptoms,” said Levin.

As of press deadline Levin said there have been no deaths in Ventura County associated with vaping injuries.

Levin said in cases when antibiotics do not improve symptoms of respiratory distress, and lung injury is diagnosed, the next course of treatment involves “steroids to assist the lungs in healing.” He said “supportive care” like oxygen “or in some cases a ventilator” may be needed.

Levin said they have not seen enough vaping injuries, and patients have not been treated long enough for doctors to fully understand whether full recovery is likely.

He said “we don’t know… if they will ever get back to normal function.”

THE PIERPONT HOTEL GETS ITS NAME BACK

The company that owns The Pierpont hotel, DKN Hotels, has announced that the branding they had previously added to the historic name is being removed. The Wyndham Garden name will be removed from the property. The hotel will go back to simply being called The Pierpont.

The latest name change follows a series of permitting issues and violations issued by the City of Ventura involving construction at the property.

“The yellow tag has already been removed and appropriate permitting is in place for the main lobby and dining room of the hotel,” said Shanna Davis, director of marketing with DKN Hotels, regarding the current status of past violations and construction permits. “Construction is slated to begin the first week of November.” They expect to complete work in May 2020.

GOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT? TELL THE GRAND JURY!

The 19 member Ventura County Grand Jury is seeking issues to investigate in Ventura County. Any member of the public can submit a complaint online, and if the Grand Jury decides to investigate and issue a report, the subject agency must respond within 90 days.

Complaints can involve any county or city agency or department, city government or special district. This includes port districts, school districts and harbor districts, as well as law enforcement agencies.

The Grand Jury has the authority to investigate issues related to mismanagement of public funds, and processes that can make government more efficient. Last year’s reports included Detention Facility and Law Enforcement, Drug and Sharps Disposal, School Implementation of Sex-Education Programs, Youth Sports and Public Liability.

Forms are available in English and Spanish online at www.grandjury. countyofventura.org

UNEXPLODED ORDINANCE CAUSES FOREST CLOSURE

Officials with the Los Padres National Forest have announced that a remote forest area called Dry Canyon, near Lockwood Valley and Mt. Pinos, will be closed to the public due to unexploded ordinance from when The Dry Canyon Artillery Range was used for army training in the 1940s.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) did a partial investigation in a very small section of the area and found six unexploded ordinances and 600 pounds of munitions debris. Due to the finding the USACE ranked the site as a very high risk to the public. The area will be studied and cleaned up during the closure.

Closed areas include: Dome Springs Campground, Dome Springs Road, Dry Canyon Trails and an area of the Chumash Wilderness north and northeast of Dry Canyon.

The closure, effective through Oct. 21, 2020, will be strictly enforced with penalties of $5,000 and up to six months in jail.

COUNTY CONSIDERING RENEWING OIL DRILLING MORATORIUM – NOV. 5

On Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 3 p.m. the Ventura County Board of Supervisors will vote on whether or not to extend an existing moratorium on new oil drilling and re-drilling of existing wells in areas where groundwater aquifers could be impacted.

The moratorium may be extended for up to two years. The hearing will take place at the Board Hearing Room, Ventura County Government Center, 800 S. Victoria Avenue, Ventura.

It’s

kimberly@vcreporter.com

not a typical topic of polite conversation, and many avoid it all together.

And yet, like birth and aging, death is an inevitable part of being human. Human civilizations since time immemorial have grappled with death and dying in varied ways. Today, we see humans grappling with the next phase in new ways, from “coffin clubs” in New Zealand where members build and decorate their own caskets to sustainable burial practices such as futuristic tree pods.

“Death, it’s going to happen. We are aging. We are going to die. Everybody goes there. It is something that is inevitable,” said Marcia Ortiz, regional volunteer coordinator with Roze Room Hospice of Ventura. “The better we prepare individuals and families…we can make their passing less stressful, less worried.”

Death and Coffee

Locally, death midwives and hospice providers are offering a simple way to help bring the topic of death, and the necessary preparations, out of the shadows.

“Let’s talk about death. Come talk about death and dying with other people who are also going to die

8—

someday,” reads the flyer for a Death Café hosted by Josyln Lawrence earlier this year in Ojai.

A Death Café is “just a place to talk about death and dying, in a safe environment,” said Lawrence. Based in Ojai, she has a degree in spiritual psychology and is trained in hospice and as a death midwife. According to her, these spaces are needed because there is “so much stigma” in our society today around talking about end of life.

“It is a discussion group, no agenda,” said Ortiz, who has hosted Death Cafés. “It’s not counseling.” Even so, the act of talking and sharing provides a poultice to the fear and unease around the topic. “Anyone can host it. It is respectful and confidential, not leading to any conclusion. There is always some kind of food involved, cake typically, something sweet.”

“The idea of eating and drinking is to affirm your life,” said Lawrence. She points to cultures that ritualize eating and gathering with neighbors as a way to live more fully. An example is Día de los Muertos, where the living remember and honor their ancestors with elaborate altars and also celebrate life through feasting with their community.

Robin Kent, a lifelong Oxnard resident, was volunteering with hospice and had completed death midwifery training when she heard about a local Death Café in an ad on Facebook.

“They were talking about death, their experiences, some people had lost people recently so they had a lot to say about that person, memorialize the person.

At the end of the meeting, we had all spent a couple hours supporting each other.”

Kent decided to host one herself and her well-known home provided a welcoming setting for conversations about death. The historic, craftsman Levy House built in 1912 lends itself to the season of allhallows-eve and it seemed a natural fit. While she insists it is not haunted, she admitted that,

“Let’s talk about death” Demystifying death over tea and cake at the Death Café

“It’s an older stately home from another time. I can imagine back in the day they probably laid their dead out in this parlor.”

Conscious Dying

The first Death Café was in England in 2010 and was hosted by Jon Underwood. He was inspired by the ideas of Bernard Crettaz of Switzerland who held Café Mortel events in a desire to end the stigma and secrecy around death. Death Café is a nonprofit organization and created a “social franchise,” meaning that anyone can use their name and post their events to the DeathCafe. com website so long as you follow the basic tenets: no agenda, no charge, safe and confidential space, with tea and cake. (Apparently, wine or cookies are a suitable substitute.)

Thousands of cafés have been held around the world.

Robin Kent offers a Death Café treat at a recent gathering in Oxnard. Photo submitted.

Lawrence credited Steven Jenkinson (www.orphanwisdom. com) with inspiring her in this work.

Jenkinson writes and speaks about how we care for the dying. “We are really a death averse culture,” which leads us to lack “grief literacy,” said Lawrence.

“I was getting interested in that doorway, similar to the doorway of

birth. There was a time when people didn’t talk about birth, men weren’t allowed. It was a mysterious kind of thing,” Lawrence said, adding that there is a similar “cycle” to the death process, and she is drawn to help shed more light on death and dying.

Topics at the Death Café include, “fears about aging, being put in a nursing home, not having their wishes carried out [after they die], people talk about suicide.” Lawrence said that people often want to talk about things they can’t discuss with family or even friends. “It is so hard in a family to talk about.” She noted that members of the military come, “who have seen a lot of death.”

“I think baby boomers are the largest [part of the] population in terms of that bump all getting older, and because we as a group are really involved in exploring different aspects of life and living, it makes sense that now, as we are aging, we are really looking at death and dying and the things that separate us from our parents,” offered Ortiz.

“I see many families fearful of death; they don’t want us to use the word hospice.”

She sees the movement around more conscious dying growing from a desire to find peace with the inevitable. “I think that is what this movement is all about, finding that peace for yourself as you are going to die. That would be my only explanation, all the interest in mindfulness, mediation, alternative medicine, all those things are indicative of a more conscious way to living perhaps, and a conscious way of dying.”

This “conscious way of dying” includes exploring death’s connection to the life cycle. Lawrence explained that dying in hospitals or nursing homes separates people — both the dying and the loved ones — from the natural cycle. “When they realize [death] is returning to the earth, dying is going back . . . there is so much more ease, no nervousness.

There is a really profound shift . . . Nature is the place that we look to for those lessons that everything dies. That piece is so big. We are nature. We have lost touch with that in our culture.” She described how children can be shown the cycle as a leaf falls and dies, then “creates more compost, we are like that, too.”

Support Along the Way

The terms “death doula,” “death midwife” and even hospice are modern words for something that is “probably very old . . . an individual to help family and the [dying] transition to that next place.” Ortiz said the services provided “run the gamut from the very practical — the things that need to be done after a loved one dies — to the very existential, spiritual aspects of dying.”

Ortiz points to the need in modern Western culture to train people to support the dying and their families.

This is where death midwives and doulas come in.

Death doula work is about “sitting vigil” with the dying, providing comfort and emotional support as needed to that person and immediate family members.

Death midwives are also trained in after-death care “such as cleansing the body, preparing the body for the funeral director to pick up.” A death midwife might also plan and assist in preparations for a home funeral.

As a death midwife, Kent offers emotional support to those facing their mortality. But she also assists with the practicalities.

She frequently helps families put together a “death file.” It should contain all the advance planning documents, “so that they are all in one place and easy to find.” She also holds free workshops to assist people with this, and provides referrals as needed to help prepare the documents.

“I’m trained to be a spiritual counselor to people who are terminal and to their families,” said Kent. “I always had a fascination with death.

I am too old to have been a goth, I was born 10 years too late for that.

I’ve always liked sad poetry, death images and all of that, to a degree it’s always been a part of my chemistry.

My own mother’s death . . . she was sick for some time, we knew that she was dying. When it came time to go into hospice, it was a whole new ballgame.”

Kent’s mother was in hospice care with House of Hope in Thousand Oaks for nine days before dying.

She experienced firsthand the value of the care provided. “The owners, volunteers, staff, were wonderful. I thought, if I’m ever in a position to

give back that kind of help and be of service in that way . . . I can’t think of anything I’d rather do.”

Sparking a Dialogue

“I love that invitation . . . to talk about death and dying. . . . Maybe that will spark a dialogue with their parents who are aging,” said Lawrence. “That is just what I hope for in the world, anything I can do that could spark [people] having more ease in that place, that is what I hope for.”

Simply put, Kent says Death Café’s are, “a wonderful environment to explore how you really feel about death and dying.”

Reelin’ in the years Ojai Film Festival celebrates 20th anniversary

by Tim Pompey

T

wenty years may not seem like a long time, but in the film festival universe, it’s a milestone worth celebrating. Like startups and restaurants, most festivals don’t make it past infancy.

“Fewer than five percent of film festivals now functioning have been around as long as we have,” said Steve Grumette, the artistic director of the Ojai Film Festival (OFF).

What’s the secret for their success?

“One of the things we are very proud of is that we actually run on more than 100 volunteers,” said Dr. Jonathan Lambert, president. “Those are the people that allow us to have a festival. We have a board that works hard. It’s a working board.”

But perhaps even more important is the service that the OFF offers, both to the community and to burgeoning filmmakers.

“The community gets to see films that would otherwise be totally inaccessible to them,” Grumette added, “and the filmmakers get an appreciative audience for their films, which often helps them in their careers.”

When it comes to activities, it’s not just about film previews. The OFF’s programming includes: Recognition of film stars. This year Pat Boone and Eva Marie Saint will be honored with lifetime achievement awards, plus viewings of Boone’s State Fair (Saturday, Nov. 2) and Saint’s North by Northwest (Sunday, Nov. 3). Film producer Hawk Koch will also feature his new memoir, Magic Times: My Life in Hollywood. Koch will be available for a Q&A after a viewing of The Way We Were (Sunday, Nov. 3, 4 p.m.)

Women in Film. The festival will premiere two short biographies about Eva Marie Saint and Penny Marshall on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 4 p.m.

Recognition of young filmmakers. On Friday, Nov. 1, there will be seminars designed for student filmmakers, followed by screenings of winning entries from the Young Filmmakers Competition.

— October 31, 2019

The Focus Earth series. Continuing its tradition of showing environmentally conscious films, this year’s festival presents six films, one of them about the Thomas Fire. The Perfect Firestorm: The Thomas Fire Story will be shown on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 1 p.m. and on Friday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m.

Film seminars. This year’s topics include motion picture financing, licensing music and hiring film composers, cinematography, and film distribution.

But let’s talk about the films. This year there are 81 entries, including seven world premieres.

The OFF is international in scope, featuring submissions from such locations as Albania, France, Spain, Greece and China. Everything is on tap, from documentaries to short films to animation to features.

Of note this year are the number of Iranian films.

“For the last few years, there has been an explosion in the Iranian film industry by young Iranian filmmakers,” said Grumette. “So this year, we have a dozen or so of their films.”

Iranian feature films this year include Golnesa, White Fish Season and Yeva.

Grumette believes the event’s growing popularity is because filmmakers feel welcome. While the festival might be smaller compared to other more famous film festivals, its hospitality and caliber of films is enticing to new directors.

“One of the feedbacks from filmmakers is that they really like coming to Ojai to our festival,” Lambert explained. “Part of it is because we’re friendly and part of it is the quality of the films.”

And, as Grumette noted, “It doesn’t hurt that the website FilmFreeway [filmfreeway.com] ranks the Ojai Film Festival in the top five percent in terms of filmmaker satisfaction.” ♦ The Ojai Film Festival takes place Oct. 31-Nov. 10. All showings will be featured at the Ojai Arts Center (113 S. Montgomery St.) and the Sane Living Center (316 E Matilija St.).

alifornia alternative rock outfit Switchfoot needed to change up its live show, so it reimagined its catalog as acoustic songs for “The Fantastic Traveling Music Show: An Evening of Songs and Stories.”

Little did they know that the tour, which launched in October, would evoke emotions unmatched on other jaunts, according to drummer Chad Butler.

“When fans request a song, we ask them to tell us why they wanted to hear that song,” Butler says via telephone from San Diego airport. “We’ve heard really incredible stories about why they’ve personally connected with the songs over the years. Maybe the song got them through a hard time, or they lost a loved one, or they made a big decision in their life. For us, we just try to make honest music and that resonates with people. When the songs are very personal, they become universal. There are some really emotional moments during the shows. There are a lot of laughs and tears and everything in between.

It’s a beautiful evening each night.”

The show is in two parts: acoustic and plugged in — with no opening act.

“Typically, a Switchfoot show would have an opener or two, and then we’d come out and play for a couple hours,” Butler says. “This is a totally different thing. We do two sets each night and there are no other bands. The acoustic set is first, then an intermission and then the full electric show.”

Fans can request songs either via bit.ly/35WUi9n or with cards available at the gigs. Butler has a simple answer for the most challenging songs he’s been asked to play.

“The songs we don’t know,” he answers with a laugh.

“Seriously, it’s been really fun to reimagine a bunch of the older songs we don’t often play and work them into an acoustic setting. It’s very different than our typical tour. We’ve had 11 studio albums and quite a few songs to choose from. We’ve been touring together for 20 years and a lot of these fans have been with us for a long time.

Some fans are calling out songs from 10 to 15 years ago.”

When Switchfoot is requested to play songs it doesn’t know, it just makes do to make fans happy. The choices range from tracks from the new album, Native Tongue, to deep cuts that weren’t singles.

“We have an in-the-moment way figured out to play it,” Butler says. “For example, if the song is written on the piano, Jon [Foreman, singer] may play it on a ukulele.

A magical, mystical We figure it out as we go. It’s a very interactive show with journey to unravel the crowd.” the meaning of Butler says now was the time for this tour because Client: TOCAP Ad Executive: Barrett (8 Switchfoot needs to keep challenging itself to keep things Día Warren de los Muertos. fresh and interesting.

daverandall2@gmail.com The Current War: Director's Cut Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon, Nicholas Hoult Rated PG-13 for some violent content and thematic elements 1 hr. 47 min.

W

hose light shall shine brightest and last longest? It seems like a moot point, today. It’s only in a power outage that we experience a short-termed world without artificial light. For the most part, unless we were paying particularly close attention in school, we have no idea the factors, rivalries and turf wars fought before the night was turned to day, bathed in rays from incandescent bulbs.

The skirmish was over which current would power the light — alternating current, which would travel further, through wires hung from posts, favored by George Westinghouse, or Thomas Edison’s direct current, which would necessitate a power plant every few miles. AC versus DC, a 19th century tech battle-royale.

These are the roots of The Current War: Director’s Cut, completed in 2017, which had to withstand a war of its own before release. The film was held back as the ramparts built around Harvey Weinstein’s alleged activities crumbled into scandal. It took two years for director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon to regain the rights — thus the tag, Director’s Cut. The main players in The Current War are names you know: you see Edison (Benedict Cumberbatch) every time you pay your power bill and Westinghouse (Michael Shannon, emblazoned across a host of appliances (“You can be sure…if it’s Westinghouse”). This war begins in earnest with a personal slight. Edison was never a pleasant character. In fact, these roles provide Shannon the chance to be noble and cooler headed, and Cumberbatch (looking and sounding like a younger Dennis Quaid) the opportunity to spew ash.

Also at the center of the action are futurist Nikolai Tesla (Nicholas Hoult), who works first for Edison then, more successfully, for Westinghouse; and Money Baron J.P. Morgan (Matthew MacFadyen), who supplies the funds for both companies in their quest to light the nation, city by city. His intent, of course, to eventually gobble them up. Tesla’s brilliance would never be properly rewarded. Millions know the electric car Elon Musk named for him, but not the man. Perhaps the film will alter some of that.

Remember that Edison was more than his association with the incandescent lightbulb. He invented the phonograph, recording voices on cylinders, and was party to the development of the kinetoscope--movies. At their origins, Edison may properly be called the progenitor of the recording and motion picture industries. Yet, as The Current War reveals, he was not beneath using the press to sully his adversaries as a means to achieve his goals.

He straddled an ethical divide, and must shoulder the burden for exposing the dangers of electricity, and its eventual use in criminal executions.

Westinghouse is forced to fight back, presenting an ethical dilemma of his own, but resulting in a kiss of triumph from his wife (Katherine Waterston). Both the character and history show Westinghouse’s disdain for personal glory. Edison regularly signs autographs but no one, at the time, knows Westinghouse.

The final battle is a competition over which method will be used to light the 1892 World’s Fair in Chicago. A generation that cannot envision a world without their smartphones surely can’t conceptualize what it was like to have a World’s Fair open beyond dusk. It might help to think of Microsoft and Apple battling for computer supremacy, a hundred years later. The profits, the benefits, both altering life the way we knew it.

Produced by Martin Scorsese, scripted by Michael Mitnick, with Chung-hoon Chung’s sumptuous cinematography and impeccable period sets, The Current War: Director’s Cut is a fine film, as illuminating as the currents themselves. We can be grateful not just for the skill of Gomez-Rejon’s directing, but also how he wrenched his work from the purgatory of the Weinstein scandal to see the light of day. ♦

Beyond the standard, in every way

by Mike Nelson

Blue Agave Restaurant 185 E. Santa Clara St., Ventura 805-667-9180 theblueagaverestaurant.com $14-32

I

do not pretend to be a Mexican food expert (I’m guessing that few Norwegians are). I simply know what I like. And I like Blue Agave.

Located at the south end of Mission Plaza on Santa Clara Street at Figueroa, 22-month-old Blue Agave has done what a series of restaurants in this location have not: built a loyal clientele that enjoys good food, good fellowship and, in many cases, good tequila (although the latter is not a requirement).

More than 500 kinds of tequila are available, as well as a variety of margaritas and other cocktails, beers and wines. Again, I am no connoisseur in this department (don’t listen to my college friends), but I think I know what tastes good, and the Cadillac Margarita (1800 Reposado, house-made sweet and sour and a float of Grand Marnier) suits me just fine.

Ultimately, though, a go-to restaurant has to excel in providing good food at reasonable prices, and Blue Agave more than passes this test with a delicious assortment of menu items that go far beyond standard Mexican restaurant fare, particularly with regard to vegetables.

Exhibit A would be the Vegan Tacos ($12.95), filled with either butternut squash and sweet potatoes or Portobello mushrooms, in addition to cabbage and pico de gallo, then drizzled with “veganaise” aioli and avocado.

They are accompanied by a side of black beans and a generous arugula salad. My wife chose the squash/ potato version and declared it “excellent, an interesting and delicious option, nutritious and filling.”

ADVICE GODDESS

by amy alkon that wedding guests who didn’t get thank-you notes are holding back on gift-giving for the baby. Should we buy them a baby gift, or should this be a time for tough love?

—Resentful

Ingrate Expectations

M

y husband and I attended his niece’s wedding two years ago. Our gift was money earmarked to pay for their honeymoon. We were miffed that we never got either a thank-you note or any word that they’d actually used the money for a honeymoon. We recently got a note that they’re expecting their first child. We sent a nice card but no gift, as we never got any response for our wedding gift. Yesterday, a custom card came in the mail, belatedly thanking us for our generous gift and telling us about their honeymoon.

We suspect that they’re realizing

Sounds like you’ve discovered the gift-seeking couple version of the dude who abruptly stops returning a woman’s texts, only to resurface weeks later at booty o’clock — texting the 12:31 a.m. “Hey, whatchu doin’?”

Understandably, you and your husband weren’t hot to seize the opportunity to go unthanked for another extravagant gift. Your reticence to fork over again to the unappreciative duo has a centuries and centuries-long history, coming out of the evolutionary need to distinguish cooperators from cheaters and freeloaders. Ancestral humans who let themselves get ripped off constantly would’ve had less access to vital resources like food and shelter, making them more likely to starve to death or become brunch for some wild animal and wind up genetic dead ends.

We humans evolved to have a builtin accounting team — our drive for reciprocity, for fairness in what we give and get in return. Our emotions are reciprocity’s worker bees, putting out feelbad (in the form of anger,

resentment, humiliation, or sadness) when we get scammed. We’re motivated to rid ourselves of those rotten feelings, which we do by trying to right the balance or at least avoid getting scammed again.

That said, in close relationships, we aren’t looking for 50/50 reciprocity like in business. In this case, for example, a 55-cent first-class stamp on a thank you card would’ve done the job.

ance — a sign that when the chips are down, they’re more likely to be there for us.

When people don’t seem to value our well-being highly enough, we get angry — as you two did. I wrote in a recent column, referencing the work of evolutionary psychologist Aaron Sell, that anger is a “recalibrational emotion”: an emotion that evolved to influence our own behavior as well as someone else’s. Anger does its work through imposing costs — like scaring people at the prospect of you going all crazypants on them — and/or withdrawing benefits (in this case, future giftiepoos.)

Complicating matters, parents of some or many millennials haven’t hammered them on the importance of thank-you notes the way parents (and grandparents) did with previous generations. Also, many millennials view writing messages in ink on paper and putting them in the mail as an exotic ancient practice, like paying cash or having a CD collection.

Granted, in this instance, you don’t say you required a thank-you on monogrammed card stock. You were just looking for a little acknowledgment, a little connection with the newlyweds, like a texted picture or two from their honeymoon,

. . . many millennials view writing messages in ink on paper and putting them in the mail as an exotic ancient practice, like paying cash or having a CD collection.

In other words, you’re ultimately reacting to a lack of gratitude — an emotion more vital to human connection than it gets credit for. Gratitude (in response to somebody’s generosity) is an important display of what evolutionary psychologist Julian Lim and his colleagues call “social valuation”: how much another person values our well-being. Their showing high valuation of our interests is ultimately a form of social insur-

maybe with a “Thanks for this awesome love-cation.” That’s not exactly unreasonable.

But to view these two more charitably, you might want to consider the effects of millennial culture. Culture is, simply put, what lots of people in a group do. Cultural attitudes are contagious, meaning they spread from person to person. In other words, the millennial cultural environment may contribute to good and kind nieces and their new husbands shrugging off rituals important to human psychology and coming off as rotten little ingrates.

Consider that they did ultimately end up thanking you — albeit belatedly. Taking the cynical view, maybe they just wanted baby loot. But if you believe they may have learned their lesson, you might be inspired to take a chance — splurge on that crib with the attached day spa, the Tesla of baby strollers, or robo-siblings to tide the kid over until Mommy and Daddy make human ones for him to blame and terrorize.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Do you have any skill in fulfilling the wishes and answering the prayers of your allies? Have you developed a capacity to tune in to what people want even when they themselves aren’t sure of what they want? Do you sometimes have a knack for offering just the right gesture at the right time to help people do what they haven’t been able to do under their own power? If you possess any of those aptitudes, now is an excellent time to put them in play. More than usual, you are needed as a catalyst, a transformer, an inspirational influence. Halloween costume suggestion: angel, fairy godmother, genie, benefactor.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Author Amy Tan describes the magic moment when her muse appears and takes command: “I sense a subtle shift, a nudge to move over, and everything cracks open, the writing is freed, the language is full, resources are plentiful, ideas pour forth, and to be frank, some of these ideas surprise me. It seems as though the universe is my friend and is helping me write, its hand over mine.” Even if you’re not a creative artist, Taurus, I suspect you’ll be offered intense visitations from a muse in the coming days.

If you make yourself alert for and receptive to these potential blessings, you’ll feel like you’re being guided and fueled by a higher power. Halloween costume suggestion: your muse.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

More than a century ago, author Anton Chekhov wrote, “If many remedies are prescribed for an illness, you may be certain that the illness has no cure.” Decades later, I wrote, “If you’re frantically trying to heal yourself with a random flurry of halfassed remedies, you’ll never cure what ails you. But

by rob brezsny

if you sit still in a safe place and ask your inner genius to identify the one or two things you need to do to heal, you will find the cure.” Halloween costume suggestion: physician, nurse, shaman, healer.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Cancerian artist Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a playful visionary and a pioneer of modernism. He appealed to sophisticates despite being described as a dreamy, eccentric outsider who invented his own visual language. In the 1950s, Picasso observed that Chagall was one of the only painters who “understood what color really is.” In 2017, one of Chagall’s paintings sold for $28.5 million. What was the secret to his success? “If I create from the heart, nearly everything works,” he testified. “If from the head, almost nothing.” Your current assignment, Cancerian, is to authorize your heart to rule everything you do. Halloween costume suggestion: a heart.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

The Dead Sea, on the border of Jordan and Israel, is far saltier than the ocean. No fish or frogs live in it.

But here and there on the lake’s bottom are springs that exude fresh water. They support large, diverse communities of microbes. It’s hard for divers to get down there and study the life forms, though. The water’s so saline, they tend to float. So they carry 90 pounds of ballast that enables them to sink to the sea floor. I urge you to get inspired by all this, Leo. What would be the metaphorical equivalent for you of descending into the lower depths so as to research unexplored sources of vitality and excitement?

Halloween costume suggestions: diver, spelunker, archaeologist.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

“We have stripped all things of their mystery and luminosity,” lamented psychologist Carl Jung.

“Nothing is holy any longer.” In accordance with current astrological omens, Virgo, your assignment is to rebel against that mournful state of affairs. I hope you will devote some of your fine intelligence to restoring mystery and luminosity to the world in which you dwell. I hope you will find and create holiness that’s worthy of your reverence and awe. Halloween costume suggestion: mage, priestess, poet, enchantrix, witch, alchemist, sacramentalist.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“One language is never enough,” says a Pashto proverb. How could it be, right? Each language has a specific structure and a finite vocabulary that limit its power to describe and understand the world. I think the same is true for religion: one is never enough.

Why confine yourself to a single set of theories about spiritual matters when more will enable you to enlarge and deepen your perspective? With this in mind, Libra, I invite you to regard November as “One Is Never Enough Month” for you. Assume you need more of everything. Halloween costume suggestion: a bilingual Jewish Santa Claus; a pagan Sufi Buddha who intones prayers in three different languages.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

In his novel Zone One, Scorpio author Colson Whitehead writes, “A monster is a person who has stopped pretending.” He means it in the worst sense possible: the emergence of the ugly beast who had been hiding behind social niceties. But I’m going to twist his meme for my own purposes. I propose that when you stop pretending and shed fake politeness, you may indeed resemble an ugly monster—but only temporarily. After the suppressed stuff gets free

rein to yammer, it will relax and recede—and you will feel so cleansed and relieved that you’ll naturally be able to express more of your monumental beauty.

Halloween costume suggestion: your beautiful, fully exorcised monster.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice,” testified poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. “Had I abided by it, I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.” This is excellent advice for you. I suspect you’re in the midst of either committing or learning from a valuable mistake. It’s best if you don’t interrupt yourself! Halloween costume suggestion: the personification or embodiment of your valuable mistake.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Cleopatra was an ancient Egyptian queen who ruled for 21 years. She was probably a Capricorn. All you need to know about her modern reputation is that Kim Kardashian portrayed her as a sultry seductress in a photo spread in a fashion magazine. But the facts are that Cleopatra was a well-educated, multilingual political leader with strategic cunning.

Among her many skills were poetry, philosophy, and mathematics. I propose we make the REAL Cleopatra your role model. Now is an excellent time to correct people’s misunderstandings about you—and show people who you truly are. Halloween costume suggestion: your actual authentic self.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Around the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius, will be capable of strenuous feats; will have the power to achieve a success that surpasses past successes; will be authorized to attempt a brave act of transcendence that renders a

long-standing limitation irrelevant. As for the eleven days and eleven hours before that magic hour, the eleventh sign of the zodiac will be smart to engage in fierce meditation and thorough preparation for the magic hour. And as for the eleven days and eleven hours afterward, the eleventh sign should expend all possible effort to capitalize on the semi-miraculous breakthrough. Halloween costume suggestion: eleven.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Author Robert Musil made a surprising declaration: “A number of flawed individuals can often add up to a brilliant social unit.” I propose we make that one of your mottoes for the coming months. I think you have the potential to be a flawed but inspiring individual who’ll serve as a dynamic force in assembling and nurturing a brilliant social unit. So let me ask you: what would be your dream-come-true of a brilliant social unit that is a fertile influence on you and everyone else in the unit? Halloween costume suggestion: ringleader, mastermind, orchestrator, or general.

Homework: “Be homesick for wild knowing,” wrote Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Try that out. Report results to FreeWillAstrology.com.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $36,151.06 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $36,151.06 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check.

If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment.

All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee

shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $361,510.63, as of 11/20/2019, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 91289138 NYE ROAD, VENTURA, CA 93001 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

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 $607,481.63 (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 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000162-19-1.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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.
