OPINION Editor’s Note

The truth about justice in Ventura County While watching a case in room 47 at the Ventura County Superior Courthouse on Friday, Aug. 23, about whether or not Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies followed the law in essentially invading a man’s private property to arrest him for charges relating to medicinal marijuana, sometimes the script just writes itself.

As Judge David Worley was reviewing legal concerns highlighted by the local man in the middle of all this, it was becoming overtly clear that there was a lot of “protective” order language around the names of the five officers being accused of being dishonest. The judge, though speaking practically, didn’t seem to be bothered one bit by the implication of sheltering dishonest police.

And then there was a shift in perspective.

As the judge spoke, I started taking notes of key words, such as “due rights,” “no repeats,” and “go to trial,” plus a note to myself.

The second I finished writing the word “trial,” however, a bailiff approached me.

He said I wasn’t allowed to be on my phone. I told him I was a journalist with the VCReporter and he can speak to Bill Ayub about it — I just went to the sheriff’s department to update my badge.

His response, “Do you have explicit written permission from the judge to be on your phone?”

I said I would make note of it and that I will be sure to contact the judge and the sheriff. And then I left. And then I realized the only orders I have ever seen in court is that the phone ringer cannot be on and no pictures.

Coincidentally, the VCStar published a story over the weekend about a merit panel reinstating an investigator, Tracy Towner, back to the Ventura County District Attorney Office, to the apparent dismay of county government that had tried to prevent the reinstatement.

“We are reviewing our legal options,” County Counsel Leroy Smith said in the story.

But what did Towner allegedly do?

The DA claimed he was being dishonest when he said he was telling the truth about “three officers he indicated had collaborated to cheat an employee out of a

promotion. DA officials said his testimony was false and merited dismissal.”

And about those officers, as reported by the VCStar, “The Civil Service Commission has declined to release records related to the case, citing privacy rights granted to law enforcement officers under a California Supreme Court decision.

Under county personnel rules, the large public employer could ask the independent commission to nullify the order or modify it in whole or part.”

On Friday, Aug. 23 as well, unbeknownst to the public, another update was underway about the trial of Mary Francesca Hannan, whose son is now in prison for the murder of Jeffrey Korber, Hannan’s former boyfriend. Korber’s body was found in a freezer in a storage locker unit rented by Hannan in 2013. As reported in our news section, her trial was delayed again. It’s been eight years since the murder in 2011. It is also curious that no local law enforcement agency has her mug shot on file, a loophole of sorts.

According to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department: “Ms. Hannan has been out of our custody for over three years and her booking photo is no longer public information.”

But it doesn’t stop there. In courtroom 36 last week, featured on page 6, the court formally accepted a plea agreement between Santa Clara Waste Water and the victims of the 2014 toxic explosion in Santa Paula. But in the judgment delivered, corporations get to live and die based upon convenience while the humans culpable do not have their personal bank accounts and vested interests ransacked in the same way the victims’ entire lives have been, trying to survive without work, chronically ill and on a settlement that may never come.

This is what justice looks like in one week in Ventura County. And we haven’t even scraped the surface.

We want to hear from you about your experience with the judicial system and process in Ventura County. Email editor@ vcreporter.com.

The note to self: Why are cops not subject to the same invasion of privacy you have been?

The moon is equally unpromising.

On the other hand our earth, formerly so generous with the means for our existence, is in big trouble.

We’ve inflicted grave injury on these resources — land, air, water. Carbon misplacement is warming the earth and acidifying the oceans, threatening both marine and terrestrial life.

And it is clear from the science that conditions already exist for it to become much worse.

So when I hear all the exuberant plans to return to the moon and then go on to Mars, I can’t help but wonder, are these people crazy?

It is the earth that so urgently requires our attention, that needs a concerted, well-funded, comprehensive project to save our own planet’s viability. And we need it now.

Something like that plan has already passed one house of our legislature and gone nowhere.

It was a good start.

Mars can wait.

Climate Crisis Mobilization

Most of us are not thinking ahead about the state of the world in which we live. Most of us are fully occupied making ends meet, and/or preparing for our personal and family futures.

Meanwhile, our world is warming dangerously.

Unfortunately, most of us are uninformed of this warming process and its lethal nature.

We see weather, around the world, changing, becoming more severe, and we know that these changesaredrivenprimarilybyglobalwarming.

The County of Ventura is deep into its development of its General Plan that will guide the County from 2020 through 2040. There is no question that this new General Plan must include rigorous response to global warming. Many County residents are currently engaged in contributing to this new plan.

A critical part of the new General Plan should be to establish a Climate Crisis Mobilization Department to oversee all county agencies advised by a Climate Crisis Mobilization Commission with diverse stakeholders and scientists to accelerate GHG emissions reduction by every means.

Let us look ahead as individuals, and as a County, and act decisively to reverse climate change and to protect the futures of all people!

DARK SHADOW: Family separation in the U.S.

by Clive Leeman

L

et me be plain, the childabuser-in-chief in the White House has fomented a deliberate, large-scale and malicious reign of terror, destroying thousands of families on the border. In my opinion, besides all his alleged crimes, he should be put away for life for this crime in particular.

And while the unmitigated evil of Trump’s actions can be seen to stand alone, what he has done nevertheless lengthens and deepens the shadow over millions of ruined families that has darkened this land from its very beginnings.

The two worst examples of family destruction are perhaps the least remembered by many unless they are African American or American Indian.

From the beginning of slavery in America in 1619 to 1865, when it was abolished by the 13th Amendment, millions of slave families were torn apart and subjected to the traumatized misery of never seeing one another again.

Also, from the beginning of the colonial settlements, American Indian families and whole communities were deliberately destroyed in a protracted campaign of extermination.

Besides these horrendous campaigns of terror on millions of African Americans and American Indians, horrific acts of cruel mis-

treatment were perpetrated on other groups as well.

In a paroxysm of racial bigotry, 1 million Mexican nationals were deported to Mexico during the Great Depression, 60 percent of whom were U.S. citizens. (“Separating children from their families is part of America’s legacy,” David Love, CNN, June 28, 2018.)

And suffering a similar spasm of racial hysteria during World War II, 120,000 Japanese Americans, half of whom were children, were torn from their homes and thrown into internment camps.

These were discrete episodes of domestic violence fueled by racial cruelty towards certain groups. But in the last few decades, the dark shadow of family separation has convulsed into an ominous perennial cloud that threatens millions of families in this country.

Judges and prosecutors throughout the land, with a casual flick of the pen and no thought for the horror they are wreaking, incarcerate hundreds of thousands of young people in detention centers (78,000, according to Wikipedia) and foster homes (400,000, “Family separation: It’s a problem for U.S. Citizens, Too,” Shaila Dewan, New York Tines, June 22, 2018).

It is the norm.

And it is also the norm that in the U.S., more than 1.1 million men

and 120,000 women in U.S. jails and prisons lose those children (“American Families Shouldn’t Be Separated Either,” Tyler Cowan, Bloomberg News, June 18, 2018.

Nobody seems to question the enormity of these figures. The plague that has settled upon American families has become systemic, endemic.

This vicious system of destroying families goes unquestioned because we all know that children from violent homes need to be protected.

While this is clearly true, it is also true that much of the child capturing by child protective services, the courts, and the state, tends to be random, based on innocuous incidents, false charges, or flimsy evidence, and affects mainly poor people.

“Even a caretaker’s authorized use of medical marijuana can be grounds for removing children. Martin Guggenheim, a law professor at N.Y.U. … said many of the cases prove unfounded, and child protection agencies disproportionately go after poor black and Latino parents.” (“Family Separation: It’s a Problem for U.S. Citizens Too,” Shaila Dewan, New York Times, Jun 22, 2018).

Here are three examples: 1) On Dec. 31st, 2010, a member of our family was falsely accused by his estranged wife of molesting his 4-year-old daughter. Before we knew it, the Department of Child

and Family Services (DCFS) in Los Angeles had swooped in and charged the father with molesting his daughter and removed her from his custody. From then on, for four years, he and his family were treated with utter contempt by DCFS, as though we were already prison inmates.

It was a totalitarian takeover of our family.

Many of the father’s friends abandoned him and he and the family were treated as outcasts by some members of the community.

After four years of dealing with capricious and unpredictable judges and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers’ fees, much of it half of our retirement, our son was exonerated by a therapist who proved the little girl had been coached.

Do you think DCFS has ever acknowledged this exoneration?

Do you think they have ever apologized for the wreckage they caused?

Not a chance. They are impervious to feeling any moral qualms about their cruel and imperious behavior.

Their absolute power has corrupted them absolutely.

2) About a year ago, a new friend arrived from New York City to live in Meiners Oaks near our home town of Ojai. When he heard about our four-year nightmare, he told me he had gone through a similar

ordeal after his former wife had falsely accused him of molesting their daughter.

He, too, was exonerated by a therapist, but the mother was now in court fighting to deny him custody and he was trying to decide whether to spend more money on a seemingly endless quest for justice.

3) In Ventura, the mother of a teenage son lost her son through her mother’s manipulation of a corrupt court system, using taxpayer money.

The mother writes, “I continue to live in isolation from my teenage son, going on 18 months, because my mom used the person I love to justify it after she fooled me into thinking she was helping me and she planned instead to keep my son for the next four years without any input from me using taxpayer funded resources and a corrupt court to keep him and cut me out.”

The massive suffocating shadow of family destruction in this country is so huge and so immovable that I believe only the irresistible force of a widespread social upheaval that transforms foster care, the child protection services, and the courts, will allow the country to finally see the light of day, the light of justice and fair play. ♦

sport or after school activity. Wellrounded students can put these temporary games and contests into perspective. Of course, your coach thinks playing football is the most important thing. It’s his job! But you are greater than the sum of one sport. Audition for the school play or join the robotics team. I work by day at a huge biotech firm, making decent money. No one seems interested in high school sports statistics.

Students who stretch themselves tend to find themselves. As a former teacher, I saw this firsthand.

To the students heading out of the county and state, may you never be ashamed of Ventura County. We are a strong community. We have survived natural disaster fires, mass shootings, and political scandal.

Many cities and counties aren’t as eclectic as we are. Very few have the forests of Ojai, the beaches of Ventura, and the wealth of Westlake

Village. We have a diverse body of people, with numerous performing art theaters and fantastic college options. Take the time to learn about other counties, cities, states, and think about your future globally. You took the first step out, you might as well expand your mindset too.

For those staying home, as I did back in 1999, don’t feel left behind.

Statistically, many of your friends will come back. It’s just a truth not said often. Ventura County’s Community College District is one of the best in the state, if not the country.

Moorpark’s campus is stunningly beautiful, with amazing facilities.

Ventura is a warm and welcoming campus, offering tuition discounts and opportunities. In fact, Ventura College is 30th in the nation, of more than 1,200 community and junior colleges, helping Hispanic students earn their associate degrees, according to Department of Education sta-

tistics website. And Oxnard’s technical and skilled-based classes in fire fighting and car mechanics has earned many of my friends great jobs. Enjoy your two years there. Or three, if you’re like me. Or four, if you’re like my cousin.

Finally, to the parents. If you have a high school student, now is the time to back off as they go back to school. After their senior year you won’t be able to protect them or advocate for them, so you might as well willfully back off now, so they learn to take care of themselves into the future. Be a cheerleader, instead of their coach. Be a tutor, instead of their teacher. Be a place of refuge, instead of a place of worry. Let students learn from both their textbooks and their mistakes.

And to the teachers, we thank you for the next nine months. Summer might be over, but the real fun really is just starting. ♦

Back to School

s we exit the warm musky August and enter the warm dry September, one thing is certainly starting, which is the start of the new school year. I can always tell because driving around during the morning to my day job in Thousand Oaks, I can see the parents and kids running to the car to avoid the always-feared tardy slip.

Ventura County is home to some of the best schools in the state.

Whether it’s the state-of-the-art campuses on Gonzalez Road in Oxnard, the amazing robotics program at Grace Brethren in Simi Valley, or the glorious football field on Westlake’s campus, students have plenty of options in both the public and private education department. Yet, one somber but celebratory event is

happening too: students are leaving the county to attend colleges all over the country.

As a former high school teacher and college professor, I know how hard it is for 18-year-olds to leave their home and embark on the college experience. Of course, there are a lot of local students staying put, and as a former Moorpark Raider, I understand that feeling too. So here are a few pointers for those staying, those leaving, and the parents torn between it all.

First off, to high school students, take advantage of being part of a county that offers a variety of opportunities to get involved. Play a sport.

Join your Associated Student Body (ASB). Learn an instrument. I don’t care what your coach says, colleges and coaches and conductors love well-rounded students.

Chemical storage totes burn on Nov. 18, 2014 at Santa Clara Waste Water in Santa Paula.

“Extreme, reckless disregard” $2.8 million for Santa Paula explosion victims tied to new permit approval

by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

O

n Friday, Aug. 23, in Courtroom 36 at Ventura County Superior Court, Judge Patricia Murphy accepted a plea agreement and issued a criminal judgment ordering Santa Clara Waste Water (SCWW) and Green Compass to pay just under $2.8 million to 14 victims of the 2014 toxic chemical explosion caused by the companies’ lying and illegal activity.

“They say this was an industrial accident,” said Capt. Milo Bustillos, formerly with the Santa Paula Fire Department, while speaking to the court during the hearing, his emotions evident. “I was the first engine company on the scene and I don’t believe it was an industrial accident. If they wouldn’t have lied to me, they wouldn’t have lied to us . . . and they led us into the chemicals that they were hiding. The only accident is that they got caught.”

He is now permanently disabled after his lungs were exposed to toxic vapors from the explosion. Bustillos also has problems with his vision, respiratory and cardiovascular systems and deals with fatigue and “emotional issues.”

Now on a limited income raising two children, the weight of the impact can be seen in his face.

“The only thing we have to look forward to is more doctor’s appointments . . . and how much life we have left . . . They chose to do this to us. And as they get to move forward to their

“The pattern of behavior that is demonstrated by the charges that they are convicted of demonstrate … an extreme, reckless dis-

Bustillos arrived on scene with other fire fighters and paramedics in the dark. Over the next several hours, fire erupted from unexpect-

regard for the safety and the wellbeing” of employees and “the first responders,” said Murphy. “The corporation and the individuals who ran the corporation were solely motivated by greed and expediency.”

In the predawn hours of Nov. 18, 2014, an explosion tore through a vacuum truck and sprayed an unknown toxic chemical on the ground and surrounding surfaces. Employees at the scene were injured. Fire fighters and paramedics responded to a call that included no information about an explosion or chemicals.

“We saw nothing at all, it was blacked out,” said Bustillos about arriving at the scene. “We

Protective boots of fire fighters erupted into flames when they walked across a seemingly harmless surface. Plastic containers of chemicals melted and burned to the ground. A toxic vapor cloud rose into the air over Ventura County. All the while the first responders were breathing.

“All the lies got us to where we are today,” and Bustillos is not sure what will happen.

Judgment payments to victims range between $1,600 to over $600,000. Bustillo is slated to receive over $273,630 as compensation for his injuries. It will help, he says, but he will

never be able return to work as a fire fighter due to ongoing breathing difficulties. “I’m in the dark about next steps . . . I don’t know what will happen with my health.”

He exchanged a hug with Jeff Barry just outside the courtroom. Barry was the first investigator on the scene after the explosion.

He wrote and issued the search warrants, gathered evidence and interviewed all parties, including the victims. Barry said that since the explosion the victims are being treated as though they inhaled chlorine dioxide. Even though the actual substance is still unconfirmed, the symptoms victims are experiencing are most similar to exposure from that chemical. “It burns your lungs,” he said.

Doctors have found spots on several victims’ kidneys and lungs, “and their doctors can’t tell them what it is . . . this was no accident. This was the result of a combination of greed and complete lack of training by the corporate defendants and their employees,” said Dominic Kardum, prosecutor with the Ventura County District Attorney during his statement to the Judge.

The timeline for payment of the restitution to the victims is tied to a pending application submitted to the Ventura County Planning Department by RI-NU Services LLC., a company wanting to reopen the waste water treatment and disposal facility.

Kardum said the plea agreement includes a provision that the permit approval “triggers the payment timeline,” but the DA has no position on the new permit. He said the judgment still stands whether or not the permit is approved. Kardum said right now the companies are “empty shells” and are unable to pay the restitution until the permit is granted and SCWW is able to sell to RI-NU Services LLC. Co-defendants in the case, SCWW executives Doug Edwards, Charles Mundy, Bill Mitzel and others, have been convicted of multiple counts, including felony charges, related to handling, storing, moving and disposing of hazardous chemicals they were not licensed to have, and lying about it. They have also been convicted of dissuading employees from making statements to investigators. A manager, Marlene Faltemier, has a trial date next month.

The co-defendants have already paid $800,000 to the victims as part of the sentencing.

Those individuals already convicted are prohibited from being involved in operations related to handling and disposing of hazardous waste in Ventura County. Edwards and RI-NU CEO, Timothy Koziol were former business associates when they both held leadership roles with another waste management organization, General Environmental Management Inc. (GEM).

In a letter dated Aug. 5, 2019, to Rob Dal Farra with Sespe Consulting, hired by RI-NU, Winston Wright, planner at VC Planning Department, explains that because the City of Oxnard has not given RI-NU permission to move oil and gas waste water through a pipeline once used by SCWW from the Mission Rock site to the Oxnard Water Treatment Facility (something the current project requires,) “The Planning Division is not inclined to recommend approval of the project as currently designed.” Wright emphasized the need for a pipeline test and that if a significant environmental impact is identified, an Environment Impact Report would need to be conducted as part of the application process to reopen the facility.

At the same time, Newsom reported plans to form a working group as part of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and California Department of Food and Agriculture to come up with a plan for ensuring California’s agriculture sector moves away from using hazardous pesticides.

This action comes just one week after Earthjustice, on behalf of community organizations, filed federal legal action when the U.S. EPA announced it would not ban the chemical linked to brain cancer in children.

Take aim with darts at all ages clinic in Ventura

by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

I

f you’re looking for a fun and simple activity, step up to the throw line and learn darts.

The Ventura County Dart Association (VCDA) is hosting a clinic for aspiring players to learn to play in a low-key environment.

“The purpose of this clinic is to instruct new players on proper technique and rules for the more popular games played in the league,” said Blake Monson, a member of the VCDA. He said a goal is to help new players “overcome some of the intimidation factor.” The VCDA in a nonprofit organization that runs tournaments around the county.

There are teams who practice together, helping new players learn the game and improve.

While it’s considered a bar game, VCDA has and encourages players under 21 to get involved. Monson also encourages folks who might already be dart players to come out.

“If you love to play darts, this event looks like a great way to get involved with like-minded individuals,” said Monson.

The clinic will also include a “no money” tournament and raffle for darting supplies; proceeds benefit VCDA. Dart Clinic, Saturday, August 31, 2 p.m. at The Bench Warmer, 1855 E. Main Street, Ventura. This venue is 21 and over; underage players should contact VCDA directly at VCDA@VCDA.ORG.

Laine Lyzak tosses a dart at a recent VCDA event. She heads up the Dart Club at California State University, Channel Islands.

Eye on the Environment

Getting back your deposit for cans and bottles

by David Goldstein

E

arlier this month, the RePlanet chain of recycling centers closed. Following the closure over the past few years of many other recycling centers, parts of Ventura County now have no nearby options for can and bottle refunds. To get back the 5 to 10 cents of California Redemption Value you paid when you purchased beverage containers, you can find your nearest buyback centers by calling 1-800-RECYCLE or visiting www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/BevContainer/RecyclingCenters.

Of course, recycling is also available through curbside collection, but consumers are

entitled to refunds of their deposits. According to the website of the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), “about 24.5 billion California Refund Value eligible containers were sold in 2018,” and of those, “more than 18.5 billion were recycled.” This left about 6 billion bottles unredeemed, at a value estimated on the website at “more than 100 million dollars.”

CalRecycle is considering strategies to increase options for container buyback, such as potential enforcement of in-store redemption requirements in some cases. In the meantime, unredeemed deposits go to a variety of related uses.

Some of that money is available in the form of competitive grants. School districts,

Indian tribes, local governments, universities and nonprofit organizations are among those eligible to submit proposals for funding to “address recycling challenges, aid in increasing beverage container collection, and reduce beverage container litter in the waste stream.”

This competitive grant program, however, is limited by legislation to just $1.5 million per year statewide. The most recent winner in Ventura County was the city of Oxnard, which in 2016 won a $249,066 grant to help the Oxnard City Corps increase recycling and litter abatement activities as well as to start recycling programs in multi-family residential buildings. Through a program separate from these grants, Conservation Corps statewide also received approximately $6 million of direct payments from unredeemed deposits in 2018.

Application materials for grant funding will likely be available this winter. At www2.calre-

cycle.ca.gov/Listservs/Subscribe/121, you can join a listserv to receive emails when notices of funds available are released.

A larger portion of those funds go to incentive payments supporting remaining buyback centers, “supplemental payments” to sorting centers, support for curbside recycling programs and assistance to recycling and litter cleanup programs run by cities and counties.

Of course, there are good environmental reasons to recycle, even if a payment is no longer a convenient option for you. According to the CalRecycle website, recycling 10 pounds of aluminum eliminates 37 pounds of carbon emissions from the air; recycling 10 pounds of clear plastic water or soda bottles cuts 3.3 pounds of carbon emissions; and recycling 10 pounds of glass bottles reduces carbon by nearly a pound.

Ventura Storage freezer murder trial update RECAP On Feb. 8, 2016, Mary Francesca Hannan was indicted by a grand jury. In 2018, Hannan pleaded “not guilty” to these charges: conspiracy to commit a crime, accessory to a crime after the fact and conspiracy to commit a crime injurious to the public. Since Hannan’s plea she has changed attorneys multiple times and managed to manipulate the court system into multiple extensions of her trial date.

MAY 10, 2019 Hannan maneuvered another extension of her trial date.

her latest attorney and once again requested an extension of her trial date. So a simple timeline: Indicted 2016, pleads “not guilty” in 2018, still out on $20,000 bail. This time the judge looked her in the eye and told Hannan she had enough extensions. “Trial set for Sept. 11, 2019, in this court!”

AUG. 23, 2019

Hannan attempts to cop a plea with no prison time, requesting house arrest for 365 days with ankle bracelet! Thanks to a victims’ advocate on behalf of the late Jeffrey Korber’s family, DA Anne Spillner asked the court not to accept the plea. I wish I had been there to watch this one. The Hannan trial by jury is now scheduled for Oct. 21, 2019.

In an attempt to reach the DA through email about the length of time it has taken to bring Hannan to trial, the “webmaster” responded: Dear Ms. Arthur, Thank you for contacting the District Attorney’s Office. We appreciate your concerns about the length of time it is taking to reach a resolution in the case you have referenced.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Anne Spillner, an experienced prosecutor in our office, has been assigned to handle this case and cannot discuss the details of the pending litigation.

Given the nature of the charges,

Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Hopefully there will be no more delays in the process of justice. Korber’s body was discovered two years after his 2011 murder, in a storage unit freezer rented by Hannan. Hannan’s son Michael Bresnak is currently serving 18 years to life for Korber’s murder. Now it is time for a jury to decide the fate of Mary Francesca Hannan.

#StarGirlStrong Mother remembers daughter one year after boating accident

by Kateri Wozny

I

f there’s one thing Ventura resident Denise OlsonDrury remembers that her daughter Kirra Drury taught her, it’s to stay strong.

“Kirra was a personal trainer and was always encouraging people to stay strong and be strong, and that’s what Kaley [Olson-Drury’s daughter] and I are both doing; self-care, loving yourself and loving others,” Olson-Drury said.

Kirra, 23, and her friend Raegan Heitzig, 26, both Ventura residents, died in a boating accident on the Arizona/California border of the Colorado River last year over Labor Day Weekend. Kirra was a well-known bartender who worked at The Tavern while Heitzig worked at Social Tap, both in Ventura.

Family and friends will celebrate the young women’s lives one year later with an intimate beach party.

Those wishing to light a candle at sunset on Sunday, Sept. 1, at the end of Seaward Avenue by Pierpont Beach are welcome.

“It’s nice to see when people bring things down there [to the memorial site], I know people leave tokens,” Olson-Drury said. “It’s hard for me to see dead flowers, so every week I bring fresh flowers.”

A celebration of life for Heitzig will be held on Friday, Sept. 20, in Visalia, her hometown. Heitzig’s body has not been recovered from the river since the accident.

“Jordan [Heitzig’s sister] and I want to find something special for our star girls,” Olson-Drury said. “We want to keep [the memorial site] going until the 20th.

After that, we are looking to have a commemorative plaque for the two girls [in the Ventura area].”

Olson-Drury said Kirra was enrolled in her last pre-

requisites for nursing with a specialty in aesthetics at Ventura College. She was also a volleyball player at the college and her No. 7 jersey was retired last Saturday during an alumni game.

“She loved makeup and transforming herself and others,” Olson-Drury said. “She also wanted to have kids someday.”

As a way to remember Kirra’s life, #StarGirlStrong bracelets were created by Olson-Drury and Kaley to remind people to be authentic to themselves and to be kind to others. The bracelets are available at Coastal Postal and Video in Ventura. “Stargirl,” written by author Jerry Spinelli, was one of Kirra’s favorite books and celebrates the power of individuality and personal expression.

“It embodies who Kirra was,” Olson-Drury said.

“She danced to the beat of her own drum and was genuinely a nice person.”

After Kirra’s memorial services, Olson-Drury received art drawings of her daughter from people around the world such as Bali. Even the Stargirl Society from Ohio sent her a handmade quilt with inspirational messages on stars.

“Everyone was reaching out,” Olson-Drury said.

“Kirra had such a following on Instagram and people genuinely adored her.”

Denise said a future nonprofit in Kirra’s memory is currently in the works. An account has also been created at Coastal Postal and Video for those wishing to donate.

“Her spirit still lives on,” Olson-Drury said. “I try to make light of it and act like she’s still with us. She was the kind of person you just wanted to be around.” F

ardeners know the healing power of growing. Hence all the time and energy devoted to it beyond the commercial element; it is what sustains us. But gardening also provides a sense of community and togetherness through reaping what was sown, personally and organically.

On Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2, at 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the public is invited to participate in the Fourth Annual Labor Day Harvest at the Abundant Table Farm located at 1012 W. Ventura Blvd. in Camarillo.

The event, coined as interfaith but open to all, is sponsored by numerous local faith-based organizations, participants in the harvest as well.

Lunch and live music by the youth band Guys in Ties will follow the field work.

“Our intention is to join together as neighbors JULIE MORRIS to create positive relationships in our community through service, generosity and gratitude for our shared earth and its bounty,” stated the Rev. Julie Morris, event coordinator of the Labor Day Harvest.

The event is free and open to all. Register early for better planning for organizers at www.LaborDayHarvest.com.

Morris talked about the mission of bringing people together.

Why is it important to bring people together?

When a crisis or disaster hits our community, or when members of our community are threatened because of their race or religion, we need to be able to respond quickly in support of and in defense of each other. A quick response requires prior relationships with one another. We need to know each other, to care about each other and to recognize that we need each other.

What do the people of different faiths have in common besides the fact that they are human, have faith and are picking food together?

People of faith have in common the values of compassion, generosity, feeding people who are hungry and caring for the earth, our shared home. We also have in common the desire to offer our youth alternatives to the dominant culture’s over-valuing of material success and individual achievement at the expense of social and environmental justice and caring for one another.

Why would a person without faith want to attend?

We are careful to advertise this as an event for “people of all faiths and no faith” because we recognize that there are people of goodwill outside of organized faith traditions who share in the humanitarian concerns of building strong communities, serving those in need, caring for the earth and appreciating the labor of those who work throughout the food system.

Why should they go now versus in the past?

Many individuals and families have made this their annual Labor Day tradition. Some have told me that this is their very favorite event in Ventura County all year long. We expect many repeat attenders as well as people who know they need to do something positive now. They are tired of news about violence and division and recognize that one solution to hopelessness is to get out and do something with others and for others. We are especially encouraging youth and young adults to take a break from their screens, come out to the farm, get their hands dirty, meet some new people and enjoy a delicious lunch and live music.

F The Fourth Annual Interfaith Labor Day Harvest takes place on Monday, Sept. 2, at the Abundant Table Farm, 1012 W. Ventura Blvd., Camarillo. To register and for more information, call 888-707-6513 or visit labordayharvest.com.

The event is a “traditional-inspired hot rod, custom car and vintage motorcycle show that welcomes the entire family to come see classic cars and enjoy the lifestyle,” said Aaron Stein, promoter of the show along with his wife, Holly.

Additionally, the Ventura Nationals “offers a unique shopping experience with select vendors and art, along with live music,” he said, adding that long-time collectors will display vintage trailers and classic vehicles that have been featured in Hollywood movies, “which they invite guests to come look, touch and take pictures with.”

Live music throughout the day will include performances

by Tom Kenny and The Hi-Seas, The Moontones, Eddie & thee Scorpions and the Rockin’ Henrys, with Jesse Dayton as this year’s main act. Dayton, who is known for a sound that blends rock, blues, old school country, punk and zydeco, is touring in support of the Aug. 9 release of Mixtape Volume 1, a collection “of deeper cuts by iconic artists” that have influenced him along the way.

“Jesse Dayton is our headliner – he’s an awesome, Texasbased, rock-and-roll country guy,” Stein said.

“As a Texan and vintage car owner, I’ve always been fascinated by the California hot rod culture,” Dayton said. “There’s no cooler event for us to play than the Ventura Nationals, which is a major source for that world. Hot rods, vintage bikes and rock ’n’ roll is about as American as it gets.”

Bringing the heart of Oxnard to the PACC

by Emily Savage

PHOTO BY JACK ADAMS

emilyannesavage@gmail.com

“Disabled Disco Innovator” Cola Boyy brings groundbreaking music and art to KickBack at the PACC on Aug. 30.

12 —

— August 29, 2019

“Sorry, you’re Cola Boyy, right? I was wondering if I could get a picture?”

An excited fan has approached our table near Heritage Square and asked Oxnard native Matthew Urango aka, Cola Boyy, for a photo. He obliges and I snap the pic.

“That wasn’t planned,” Cola Boyy, 29, says with a laugh.

Despite growing national (he just played Coachella this year) and international (his record label, Record Makers, is based in Paris) attention and acclaim, Cola Boyy is still very much an Oxnard local. And he makes it a point to use his growing platform to stand up for those in need from the area and speak out against police harassment of homeless people, increasing gentrification and the loss of community spaces.

That’s why the self-described “Disabled Disco Innovator” is curating a fundraiser for the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center this Friday, Aug. 30.

The PACC lost most of its funding from the City of Oxnard earlier this year and is at risk of closing — currently it has a subsidy to keep it afloat through December 2019 — but fundraisers like this could help it stay put for longer, and enable it to do more community programming.

“I worry about the community not having access to a venue like this,” says Carolyn Mullin, executive director. A longtime fan of Cola Boyy, she reached out to him about putting together the event. “I’m excited to open this facility for the amazing community and let him do what he does best,” Mullin says. “I’m impressed that he’s so dedicated to Oxnard; you don’t find many willing to stay here once reaching stardom.”

The all-ages event, which also will include art vendors and food pop-ups, is by donation and will feature local rapper Omega Nova, punk band Civil Conflict and DJ Xilla spinning a fusion of cumbia, funk and disco, along with L.A. trio the Arrowettes.

“All the acts performing, I know them personally,” he says. “It was really important for me to represent younger artists in Oxnard.”

And of course, Cola Boyy himself will be performing. The multinstrumenalist who released his funky disco pop EP, Black Boogie Neon, in 2017 will play a mix of older tracks and new songs he’s been recording for an upcoming full-length album.

While the music he’s currently creating as Cola Boyy is warm danceable pop — check out “Penny Girl” and the accompanying Oxnard-loving video — he got his start in hardcore and power-violence bands in the DIY “Nardcore” scene as a teen.

“In junior high I got into playing guitar and I was introduced to a lot of the punk kids, and they took me in,” he says.

He played in bands like FBA, El Mariachi and Only Child before joining fuzzy rockers Sea Lions. He learned recording from Sea Lions and later transitioned into the sound he’s making and recording now using a couple of synthesizers like a

Roland GAIA, guitar, bass, laptop, and a microphone. He says that he doesn’t have the money to buy any “super dope” gear but it helps him get creative within his limitations, and “a good song is a good song,” no matter how it’s recorded.

He says his transition into a more disco-leaning sound was a natural move. “Being from Oxnard, we’re all pretty exposed to funk music but I never thought I’d be making it,” he says. “One day I decided to just try to make something funky, a little more on the dance and pop side, and listening back to the old stuff, the demos, I didn’t know what I was doing but it’s good because it turned into something more special — I think that’s the magic of music.”

While his lyrics aren’t always outwardly political, his politics are forever intertwined with his music. “I don’t want to divorce my music and my politics, but at the same time, I don’t want to use my politics as a gimmick,” he explains.

“At the end of the day, music is political, but we need more than words, we need action,” he says, suggesting people join political reading groups and have conversations in person, rather than fight on social media.

While Cola Boyy is clearly serious about his beliefs, the origin of his stage name is a bit fizzier.

Around 2016, he was addicted to soda — seriously. At the same time, he was just starting to experiment with the funkified sound that would eventually be heard on Black Boogie Neon. He was hanging out with friends in New York and, without telling him, they put him down as Cola Boyy on a flier for a show. His moniker was cemented.

These days, Cola Boyy goes to Paris every few months to record with Record Makers. He also recorded a video in Paris that is uniquely his aesthetique. While the video for “Penny Girl” is a love letter to Oxnard, the video for “Beige 70” highlights something else that’s important to him: disabled person visibility. It features a funky, 1970s-looking nightclub with disabled people performing, dancing, really feeling his music.

“It was like, ‘oh, hey, there’s disabled people here,’ but it’s not, like, a tokenization. It’s not pity. It’s more like, this is how it should be, there shouldn’t be a separation between us, but also having fun with that idea.” He adds that there are some ridiculous elements to the video — “It’s a movie, you know?”

Being disabled can make touring a little more difficult, he says, but he loves to travel, perform, and meet people; he just needs to take care of himself and his health.

He says that in the past when he was away from home, he saw how easy it could be to get caught up in the hollowness of the music industry or lose sight of one’s priorities, but returning to Oxnard always re-grounds him in his beliefs and love for the local scene.

So who is Cola Boyy? A man of the people — especially the people of Oxnard.

F Catch Cola Boyy at KickBack at the PACC on Friday, Aug. 30, 7-11 p.m. at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard. For more information, call 805-486-2424 or visit www.oxnardperformingarts.com.

shrugged off as another corporate burrito fastISSUE: 8/29/19 food joint in the Petco shopping center. My companion, however, said he was first alerted to it, a family-owned business, on Facebook. We decided on it for lunch on a recent Thursday afternoon after spending the morning checking out the industrial hemp fields now visible around Ventura County.

Upon entering the restaurant, the feeling of a roadBacon side taco stand in Baja came rushing in. When I was 16, Wrapped I lived close to Rosarito Beach. At 21, I visited Las Playas Shrimp frequently, and then at 22 went on a cruise to Ensenada.

Inside Cancun, the lights were off, the ceiling fan was on, the décor of tile accents, iron works and glass masks — plus the liquefied salsas on ice — “it reminded me of being in Mexico, Ensenada,” my companion said, espeST: cially the fish tacos.

the Cancun burrito, which came with barbecue chicken, rice, beans, fresh cilantro and sour cream.

To start, we shared the chips and salsa, a charred green watery concoction and an avocado cream sauce.

Tangy, applicable to both. I squirted some red sauce from a red bottle into a plastic ramekin — must be cocktail sauce? I didn’t opt for the habanero sauce; maybe next time. The pickled carrots were crunchy and not too spicy.

I skipped the pickled jalapeño.

As we waited for our meals, mentioning Facebook landed us two free small bowls of vegetable soup, reminiscent of albondigas without the albondigas. We appreciated the treat in any case.

Out came our meals, the burrito rolled with care, a filling meal in half a burrito. For me, sour cream, fresh cilantro and barbecue were the winning options.

The fish tacos featured finely sliced cabbage, delicately crisp beer-battered white fish — tasted like halibut — diced tomatoes and onions and crema on corn tortillas.

Coupled with a nice breeze in the shade, it felt as though we were on the road to Ensenada. The only issue: three tacos, one burrito and two drinks, $28. Kinda pricey for a Thursday lunch, which just stinks since it’s not a place to miss. One suggestion — you don’t need three tacos to fill up. Other than that, worth at least a visit. The man in the kitchen, presumably the owner, and the gal working there were friendly and attentive, the cook with a glowing smile, for real.

I should have asked about those masks, maybe from Pier One Imports, maybe Target, maybe from a home studio. Whatever the case, at the very least, they were little treasures, suitable for a hidden gem like Cancun Seafood, which distinguishes itself from the row of corporate franchises along Channel Islands Boulevard. ♦

I know it might be a stretch to convince someone to go see another road trip movie, but The Peanut Butter Falcon is not your typical road trip film. Beyond featuring an actor with Down Syndrome, it wrestles with assumptions about what people believe you can do based on their beliefs, not yours.

With some encouragement from Tyler, Zak challenges those assumptions. Refusing to be put out to pasture, he finds a path and doggedly fights for the spotlight.

As Dern notes, “friendship is about who you choose.”

These guys choose each other because they like each other. I’m willing to bet once you see this film, you’ll feel the same. ♦ August 29, 2019 — — 21

you’re looking for a feel-good film with heart, The Peanut Butter Falcon might just be your ticket. In fact, if you’re audacious enough to put peanut butter in the title, you already have my attention.

Once again, the South shares its beauty in this travel tale set on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Like Beasts of the Southern Wild and Mud, the swamps and rivers become a place that invite you to find family and friendship and pursue a dream.

Like rivers and creeks, two tributaries merge into one story. Tyler (Shia LaBeouf) is without friends or family.

Haunted by the death of his brother, he poaches illegally off the crab pots of fellow fisherman Duncan (John Hawkes). When Duncan violently confronts him, Tyler burns the man’s crab pots and flees down the coast. The chase is on.

Zak (Zack Gottsagen) is also without family. He has Down Syndrome and, for lack of anywhere else to live, he has been placed in a local nursing home.

Zak is obsessed with wrestling. His hero is the Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). His dream is to be featured in the ring. He knows exactly what he wants, if he can just get out the door.

With help from his elderly roommate, Carl (Bruce Dern), Zak finally breaks out and heads down the coast straight into the boat of Tyler. When Tyler flees from Duncan, he discovers Zak hidden under a tarp in nothing but his underwear. The journey begins.

Zak’s nursing home attendant, Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), goes searching for him, and meets Tyler in a grocery store. She shows him a picture. Tyler learns that Zak is on the lam. He also learns that Zak wants to join

ADVICE GODDESS

Charlie Brawn

If

a guy is trying to amp up his attractiveness by working out, what areas of the body should he focus on? What do women notice and want? And how much of that can I get without any kind of surgery or dangerous potions?

— Office Bod If a woman says to you, “You’re like family to me,” it shouldn’t be because you have arms like her sister.

Women seem to go for the body shape that evolutionary psychologists Rebecca Burch and Laura Johnsen refer to as “Captain Dorito.”

by amy alkon This describes the golden triangle seen in cartoonishly masculinized male superhero bodies: broad shoulders leading down into a small tight waist and butt.

As for why women might have evolved to prefer this body type, evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains in Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind that ancestral women were obviously better off with a “physically formidable” partner, able to protect them and their children. The inner biochemical landscape of physical formidability is high testosterone. Accordingly, Buss notes that, in men, high testosterone is associated with a very masculine body and facial features (like a square jaw and more pronounced cheekbones).

Noting that high levels of testosterone compromise the immune system, Buss cites psychologist Victor S. Johnston’s observation that only males who are very healthy can “afford” to produce high levels of testosterone during their development. The bodies of less healthy males need to suppress T production so they can hang on to the limited immune resources they have.

“If Johnston’s argument is correct,” Buss adds, women’s preference for masculine features is “a preference for a healthy male.” And interestingly, in nations where over-

all health is poor, women show an especially strong preference for more masculine faces. The same goes for women who are more easily yucked out by cues to pathogen-causing diseases — substances and things that could contain infectious microorganisms, like poo, sexual fluids, and dead bodies.

As for you, when you hit the gym, your areas of focus should be your shoulders, arms, and butt. However, you should do whole-body workouts, too, lest you end up pairing super-

Not A Good Lurk My girlfriends and I have had this experience numerous times: A guy who’s interested in one of us will suddenly stop texting us but then reappear a few months later liking our social media posts. This just happened to me. It’s about three months since he vanished, and he’s suddenly all up in my Instagram. Why do guys do this?

— Annoyed You almost wish the guy would greet you honestly: “‘Sup, Plan B?!”

This guy might’ve initially been interested in you.

However, chances are you eventually became what evolutionary psychologists like Joshua Duntley call a “backup mate” (basically the dating-and-mating version of a spare tire or the vice president).

Duntley’s work suggests humans evolved to identify and cultivate backup mates so we wouldn’t be left high and dry for long if our main boo died or ran off with the hot neighbor.

I know … so romantic. That said, it isn’t wrong to have backup mates.

Research by Duntley and his colleagues points to many or most of us having them, though we’re often not aware of it.

The thing is, this guy’s disap-

Character is revealed in how people behave when they feel they have nothing to gain from someone. hero pecs with broomstick thighs and calves.

Even if you’re built like a paper cut and can’t bulk up a lot, just looking strong, especially in the essential areas, is a step in the right direction.

And unfortunately, yes ... the formidability thing has to result from physical workouts — tempted as you might be to skip the gym and, like somebody toting an umbrella on a cloudy day, go into the grocery store whistling and swinging a machete.

pearing and then sliding back into your life with likes on some of your Instagram posts, is a big red flag — a big red sequined flag with cop flashers on top. Character is revealed in how people behave when they feel they have nothing to gain from someone. Maybe this guy got the hots for some other woman and the lukewarms for you. Or maybe he just got busy. Whatever the reason, it takes minimal effort to make a kind exit — even saying, “I’ve got a lot going on right now, and I need to take a break from talking.”

When someone shows themselves to be a jerk, you may want to broom them out of even the edges of your life. This is clickably easy on Instagram, thanks to the block function. Blocking a guy like this should be a wise preemptive measure, considering his idea of good manners is probably prefacing the 2 a.m.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Here are examples of activities I recommend you try in the coming days. 1. Build a campfire on the beach with friends and regale each other with stories of your most interesting successes. 2. Buy eccentric treasures at a flea market and ever thereafter refer to them as your holy icons. 3. Climb a hill and sit on the grass as you sing your favorite songs and watch the moon slowly rise over the eastern horizon. 4.

Take naps when you’re “not supposed to.” 5. Sneak into an orchard at night and eat fruit plucked just moments before. 6. Tell a beloved person a fairy tale in which he or she is the hero.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

The hardiest creature on the planet may be the bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans.

It can endure exposure to radiation, intense cold, dehydration, acid, and vacuum. I propose we make it your power creature for the coming weeks. Why? Not because I expect you’ll have to deal with a lot of extreme conditions, but rather because I think you’ll be exceptionally robust, both physically and psychologically. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to succeed at demanding challenges that require you to be in top form, now is a good time to do it. P.S. Deinococcus radiodurans is colloquially referred to as Conan the Bacterium, borrowing from the spirit of the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, who is renowned for his strength and agility.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

In the yearly cycle of many Geminis, retreating into a state akin to hibernation makes sense during the end of August and the first three weeks of September. But since many of you are high-energy sophisticates, you often override your body’s signals. And then nature pushes back by compelling you to

slow down. The result may be a rhythm that feels like constantly taking three steps forward and two steps backward. May I suggest a different approach this year? Would you consider surrendering, even slightly, to the invitation to relax and recharge?

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

If you decide to travel to a particular place via hot air balloon, you must be prepared for the possibility that your route will be indirect. At different altitudes, the wind may be blowing in different directions: toward the east at a hundred feet high, but toward the southwest at two hundred feet. The trick for the pilot is to jockey up and down until finding a layer that’s headed toward the desired destination. I see your life right now as having a metaphorical resemblance to this riddle. You have not yet discovered the layer that will take you where you want to go. But I bet you will soon.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Considering how bright you have been burning since the Flame Angels designated you as the Hottest Cool Person of the Month, I hesitate to urge you to simmer down. But I must. Before there’s a meltdown in your vicinity, please lower your thermostat.

Not a lot. Just a little. If you do that, everyone will continue to see your gleaming charisma in the best possible light. But don’t you dare extinguish your blaze. Don’t apologize for your brilliant shimmer. The rest of us need your magical radiance.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Shogun is a bestselling novel about an Englishman who transforms himself into a samurai warrior in seventeenth-century Japan. Written by James Clavell, it’s over 1,100 pages long. Clavell testified that the idea for the story sprang up in him when he

read one line in his daughter’s school book: “In 1600 an Englishman went to Japan and became a samurai.” I suspect it’s highly likely you will soon encounter a seed like that, Virgo: a bare inspiration that will eventually bloom into a Big Thing.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Libran athlete Mickey Mantle is in Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame. He had a spectacular 18-year career, winning the Most Valuable Player Award three times, playing in 12 World Series, and being selected to the All-Star team 16 times. So it’s astounding that he played with a torn ligament in his knee for 17 years, according to his biographer Jane Leavy. She quoted an orthopedic surgeon who said that Mantle compensated for his injury with “neuromuscular genius.” I’m thinking that in the next few weeks you’re in a position to accomplish an equivalent of Mantle’s heroic adjustment.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Most people who belong to the Church of Satan neither believe in nor worship Satan. (They’re atheists, and don’t believe in the supernatural.) I think a comparable principle is true for many rightwing fundamentalist Christians. Their actions and words are replete with bigotry, hard-heartedness, materialism, and selfishness: so contrary to what the real Jesus Christ taught that they in effect don’t believe in or worship Jesus Christ. I mention this, Scorpio, in hope of inspiring you to take inventory of whether your stated ideals are reflected in the practical details of how you live your life. That’s always an interesting and important task, of course, but it’s especially so for you right now. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to purge any hypocrisy from your system and get your actual behavior in close alignment with your deepest values.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

It’s the right time for you to create a fresh mission statement and promotional campaign. For inspiration, read mine: “My column ‘Free Will Astrology’ offers you a wide selection of realities to choose from. With 4,212 years of dedication to customer service (over the course of my last 13 incarnations), I’m a reliable ally supporting your efforts to escape your oppressive conditioning and other people’s hells. My horoscopes come with an ironclad guarantee: If the advice you read is wrong, you’re under no obligation to believe it. And remember: a panel of 531 experts has determined that ‘Free Will Astrology’ is an effective therapy for your chronic wounds and primordial pain. It is also dramatic proof that there is no good reason to be afraid of life.”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Here are good questions for you to meditate on during the next four weeks. 1. How can you attract resources that will expand your mind and your world? 2. Are you bold enough to reach out to wise sources and provocative influences that could connect you with useful tricks and practical treasures?

3. What interesting lessons can you stir up as you explore the mercurial edges, skirt the changeable boundaries, journey to catalytic frontiers, and make pilgrimages to holy hubbubs? 4. How best can you encourage lyrical emotion over polished sentimentality? Joyous idealism over astringent zealotry?

Exuberant integrity over formulaic kindness?

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“It is the beginning of wisdom when you recognize that the best you can do is choose which rules you want to live by,” wrote author Wallace Stegner, “and it’s persistent and aggravated imbecility to pretend you can live without any.” That will be an excellent

meditation for you during the coming weeks. I trust you are long past the time of fantasizing you can live without any rules. Your challenge now is to adjust some of the rules you have been living by, or even dare to align yourself with some new rules—and then completely commit yourself to being loyal to them and enjoying them.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Given the astrological omens that will symbolize your personal story in the coming weeks and months, I think Piscean author Nikos Kazantzakis articulated the perfect prescription for you. I invite you to interpret his thoughts to fit your circumstances. “We’re going to start with small, easy things,” he wrote. “Then, little by little we shall try our hand at the big things. And after that, after we finish the big things, we shall undertake the impossible.” Here’s an additional prod from Kazantzakis: “Reach what you cannot.”

itors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: MICHAEL LEE LUXTON, aka MICHAEL LUXTON. A Petition for Probate has been filed by LARRY L. LUXTON in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that: LARRY L. LUXTON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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 3, 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Attorney for Petitioner: John C. Orr, (State Bar# 58840), Ferguson Case Orr Paterson LLP, 1050 S. Kimball Rd., Ventura, CA 93004, (805) 659-6800.
