Measure A and B advocates repeat disproven narratives on water quality

by Beverly Bigger

A

mong the many false and misleading claims made by advocates for Measure A and B in Ventura County, some of the most egregious have to do with water quality.

This is nothing new. For years, those aiming to shut down local oil and gas production have rejected scientific studies and created narratives to scare voters into erroneously believing aquifers are at risk.

The facts, of course, tell a different story. Local oil and gas production does not put Ventura County aquifers at risk. And it’s not just the oil and gas producers who say so.

Experts with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitored groundwater under the Oxnard Oil Field for years and found no evidence that energy production operations have impacted

the aquifers. Their study, published in June 2021 in coordination with the State Water Board’s groundwater monitoring program, confirmed that the water in the aquifers complies with all state and federal drinking water standards.

As the State Water Board stated at the time: “A USGS groundwater study near the Oxnard Oil Field has found no evidence of hydrocarbon-bearing formation water mixing into overlying groundwater aquifers.”

As reported in the Ventura County Star, other experts who reviewed the USGS study say unequivocally that the aquifers are safe, and oil and gas activities have not led to any water contamination. In fact, the State Water Board has stated that it has “no immediate plans to do any additional sampling at Oxnard” given the USGS study’s confirmation of safe water quality.

Those pushing Measures A and B are ignoring all of these

facts — and worse, denying the science outright.

After the USGS study explicitly confirmed there was “no evidence” of oilfield activity impacting groundwater in Ventura County, the same groups now pushing for Measures A and B began rejecting the science and the experts behind the analysis.

These groups accused the USGS and State Water Board of “gross misrepresentation at best” and “an outright lie at worst.”

Ventura County voters must stand up for facts and science.

Those who continue to use false narratives to scare the public cannot be trusted to tell the truth on important policy questions like Measures A and B. Of course, the misrepresentations from Measure A and B proponents do not end with debunked narratives on water quality. The entire campaign for the new zoning policies depends on a false

premise that oil and gas operations are not tightly regulated.

Again, the facts are clear. Ventura County’s oil and gas is produced under the strongest regulations in the world.

Multiple layers of oversight by qualified engineering and geoscience professionals at local, state and federal agencies ensure all operations meet or exceed strict regulations to protect the environment, public health and worker safety. These agencies have the authority to revoke permits and shut down production if local producers do not meet strict operating requirements.

It is bizarre to see Measure A and B advocates claim to be concerned about the regulation of oil and gas production, considering their proposals would scrap this expert-driven, science-based oversight and transfer regulatory authority to local politicians.

That’s right: if passed, Mea-

sures A and B would give the Board of Supervisors new and unlimited powers to override state and federal agencies, ignore scientific experts, and shut down oil and gas production in Ventura County at will. This amounts to an unprecedented and dangerous power grab by local politicians.

Perhaps Measure A and B advocates must rely on scare tactics because the facts simply aren’t on their side. Policies have consequences, and the reality is that Measures A and B would unnecessarily shut down local oil production without cause — killing local jobs, eliminating critical tax revenues, increasing dependence on foreign oil, and raising costs for consumers and businesses.

We can’t get to zero carbon and maintain a consumer society

by Alasdair Coyne

T

here is no way that our world can reach a sustainable green energy future, in a short time period, while the wealthy inhabitants of our developed nations stay addicted to the high levels of energy use that many currently believe are necessary for a good life.

The stark fact is that our world of ecological limits cannot continue to depend on economic growth, when the depletion of the materials that provide that growth is leading to global ecological collapse. But remember that the growth model that has been adopted as our economic yardstick is simply a construct of the human mind. New, viable and appropriate models based on steady-state economics have been proposed for decades, but our leaders must soon step up to the challenge of planning a gradual switch from one to the other.

So it is time for those concerned 4—

— June 2, 2022

about the climate challenge to figure out how to live happy, rewarding lives without filling our homes and rented storage with purchases we do not really need. And it is time to decide to vacation closer to home, rather than spending our summers in Europe and our winters somewhere else far away.

The world’s richest are the biggest individual contributors to our global heating crisis. We must start to call them out for that.

Corporations like Apple, Disney, Amazon and Microsoft are actively opposing legislative efforts in Washington to address global heating, although publicly they all tout their own pledged climate initiatives. This feeds directly back to the business world’s current insatiable addiction to growth at all costs. Naturally, investments in green energy are going to flourish over the long term, but every other sector of business cannot forever rely on annual growth. Time for a shift from depletion to sustainability.

Here’s another shift imminently needed – a new study by Oil Change International and others demonstrates that half of global fossil fuel infrastructure must start to be closed down in the immediate future, to ensure a livable climate for our future. This goes further than the International Energy Agency’s 2021 call to halt all new fossil fuel development.

As our climate crisis worsens year by year, the remedies will only continue to grow more severe and drastic. What is the Biden administration doing for our climate, while the Build Back Better climate legislation continues to be stalled in D.C.? Quite a lot, actually. First, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had to recover from Trump’s depletion of its staff, morale and climate objectives. Trump had found it easy to undo dozens of Obama’s climate directives, as EPA rules may be readily reversed during their first two years. President Biden has overturned 80 of

Trump’s climate policies, and targeted 92 more. He has also instigated 49 new climate policies and proposed 40 more. The administration has ordered the federal government to plan how to erase its carbon footprint by 2050.

Look for the EPA to announce multiple new climate regulations by the end of 2022. That will give these new policies 24 months before Biden’s term is over, meaning that they will not be subject to reversal by a potential Republican president in early 2025. The EPA is also working to back up its new policies with thoroughly researched legal justifications, to provide them with strong protection against future court challenges that may come before conservative judges down the road.

Here in Ventura County voters are besieged with election materials from the fossil fuel industry.

Their stated claims about Measures A and B are complete fabrications, but that doesn’t bother them, because the repeated dis-

semination of untruths is a proven way to create fear among voters, encouraging them to vote against their best interests.

Measures A and B simply require oil companies to follow decades-old requirements to protect the environment when drilling new wells on old oil lease properties. County Supervisors approved these measures a few years ago, and now the industry is fighting to reverse those measures at the ballot box.

If nothing else, the fight against Measures A and B is a wake-up call to our citizenry, making it crystal clear that deceit is the fossil fuel industry’s weapon of choice to defend their perceived right to drill new wells and to pollute Ventura County’s lands and waters with impunity.

Purple is the New Party

No more good guys with guns

by Paul Moomjean

I

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com n the state of Texas last week, Robb Elementary School in Uvalde was attacked by an 18-year-old boy, who legally bought an AR-15 rifle and murdered 19 children and two teachers. This becomes the echo of two sad realities: We still don’t have gun laws to prevent this type of tragedy and we are slowly returning to a sad normal amongst our most violent-minded citizens. Once again a disturbed young man saw his future as bleak as possible, and he took it out on the most innocent of victims. With NRA spokesmen and conservatives arguing it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun, their theory is proven wrong as the police were impotent and no neighbors came to the rescue. If governors and President Joe Biden don’t get on the same page soon, we will be reading about the next sooner rather than later.

Salvador Ramos was reported to have been sending a 15-year-old girl messages about his shooting spree to impress her on some level. Again, the incel nature of these young men, combined with a false sense of masculinity, is the cocktail creating these monsters. As much as we need to make it impossible for these kids to get rifles, we also need to address the contribution of the false narrative that real men are having sex with who they please and using violence to maintain power dynamics. Over the past 20-plus years, it appears that these young men all want to be seen as real manly threats.

Meanwhile, the men called to the scene were useless. According to the Associated Press (and widely reported in several news outlets): Nearly 20 [police] officers stood for about 45 minutes in the hallway outside the adjoining Texas classrooms where the gunman killed students and teachers this week before

U.S. Border Patrol agents unlocked the door to confront and kill him, authorities said Friday.

“It was the wrong decision,” Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said.

“Based on best practices, it’s very difficult to understand why there were any types of delays, particularly when you get into reports of 40 minutes and up of going in to neutralize that shooter,” Ken Trump, president of the consulting firm National School Safety and Security Services added.

If we are supposed to have a functioning society, we need a functioning police force. If these are the good guys with guns, why didn’t they create a parameter and go in to find Ramos right away? If trained gunmen cannot feel safe, then what does this say about guns in general?

Meanwhile there are human lives attached to this story, including the parents of the identified shooter, and as usual, they appear more confused

than anyone.

In an interview with The Daily Beast on Thursday (“Texas School Shooter’s Dad: ‘He Should’ve Just Killed Me,’” Roger Sollenberger, May 27, 2022), father Salvador Ramos, 42, said, “I just want the people to know I’m sorry man, [for] what my son did . . . I never expected my son to do something like that. He should’ve just killed me, you know, instead of doing something like that to someone.”

Salvador Ramos’ mother, Adriana Reyes Martinez, told CNN (“Gunman’s mother and grandfather express confusion and remorse over the shooting,” Alexa Miranda, Monica Serrano, Andy Rose and Joy Marcelle, May 27, 2022) in Spanish: “I have no words, I have no words to say, I don’t know what he was thinking. He had his reasons for doing what he did and please don’t judge him.”

In a world where a mother begs for us not to judge her son, we can see where society’s roots are weak. It is

the fear of judgment that motivates so many not to commit crimes. News outlets also reported the shooter shot his grandmother and had a loud fight with his mother hours before. Anyone with this type of anger really needed more attentive people in his life. I’m sorry if I sound insensitive, but if their responses are “kill me instead” and “don’t judge him,” then this boy had no chance to begin with.

Yahoo News reported gun deaths are the leading cause of children’s death, with “4,368 children and adolescents up to the age of 19 [dying] from firearms in 2020, a rate of 5.4 per 100,000 a dashboard by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed.” (“Guns are now the leading cause of death for American children,” May 26, 2022.)

This is no longer a political difference issue, but an epidemic where there are no good guys on any side.

The only good guys are those who want to at least make it impossible for an 18-year-old to own an AR-15.

“Things are changing” CI Harbor Director Michael Tripp looks to revitalize Oxnard’s Fisherman’s Wharf

rwilson@timespublications.com s Ventura County’s new Harbor Director Michael Tripp walks along the shoreline of Channel Islands Harbor, he envisions exciting improvements on the horizon.

Redevelopment plans for the

dilapidated Fisherman’s Wharf shopping center that have generated controversy for many years are getting a fresh start after widespread opposition from neighbors and Oxnard city officials sank a proposal that included hundreds of apartments.

A new request for proposals from developers with ideas for Fisherman’s Wharf was issued May 24, and Tripp is insisting a visitor-serving complex is preferred over one that prioritizes housing at the corner of Victoria Avenue and Channel Islands Boulevard.

Labor caravan comes to Oxnard

State labor commissioner visited local farms to spread the word about workers’ rights

That’s why she brought a specially designed box truck covered in brightly lit displays with a powerful sound system to a three-day caravan that stopped by local farms May 25-27.

co, Purépecha and Zapotec.

García-Brower also handed workers flyers about laws involving wage theft, sick leave, COVID precautions and preventing heat illness.

“A law cannot be exercised if you don’t know it. So we have to reach people to ensure that they understand their rights and that they trust us,” she said. “There are so many workers.

We have to amplify this message.”

The caravan started off with a news conference at downtown Oxnard’s Plaza Park where representatives from several farmworker advocacy groups spoke about hardships faced by farmworkers, including Mixteco Indígena Community Organization Project, also known as MICOP, and a charity devoted to helping women farmworkers, Líderes Campesinas.

Cal/OSHA Bilingual Community Engagement Liaison Lourdes Cruz said one of the most important messages was about laws to prevent heat illness that require employers provide water, shade, breaks and emergency plans. Cruz said the consequences

“What happens is that they get ill, they get sick, and unfortunately, sometimes if people are not accustomed to working in the heat, they can even die. So it’s really important for them to be able to take their break,” she said.

Cruz said Cal/OSHA wants to hear from workers regardless of immigration status. Confidential complaints can be made by calling 833-579-

Cruz said it’s the second year in a row that organizers launched the caravan in Oxnard, and they had a great response the first time around. “It was fantastic. Our community organizations were very pleased that we were out there informing farmworkers about their rights. So it’s something that we do want to continue.”

Conditions for water conditioning when softeners are hard on the environment

by David Goldstein

N

early everyone in Ventura County subscribes to trash collection service, requiring three separate trucks to stop at their house each week, but thousands of people also subscribe to another environmental service requiring an additional truck. Like trash service, water softening is considered essential in some areas, but unlike trash collection service, most residents have a choice whether to subscribe to a water softening tank exchange program.

Alternatives to tank exchange include owning a softener, whole house water filtration, appliance-specific water filtration, other technologies, or using unmodified tap water.

In parts of Ventura County served by state water through the Metropolitan Water District, water hardness ranges up to 5.2 grains per gallon (gpg), not a level generally considered to require softening. For example, sustainabilitymattersdaily.com recommends water softening only for hardness levels over 25-50 gpg, while others, including PennState Extension and the Minnesota Department of Health, recommend softening or treatment at 7 gpg.

Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley and Moorpark receive water from the state water project, sometimes with a blend of harder water. Using unmodified tap water in these areas, or even using a water conditioning alternative to a softener, will still result in a buildup of hard water deposits on faucets, dishwashers, coffee pots, and water heaters. However, the build-up will likely be so slow that the eventual cause of faucet or appliance replacement will probably be something other than hard water deposits.

In parts of the county using exclusively local water, including Fillmore, Santa Paula, Ojai and Ventura, water hardness is higher. Ojai’s water averages 17 gpg; Fillmore’s is 27 to 52; and Santa Paula’s is 30 to 32.

Camarillo, ranging from 6 to 18, will soon change due to a major new water source. Ventura, ranging from 17 to 53, plans two new water sources.

Oxnard averages 28, and Port Hueneme ranges from 6 to 31.

Local water hardness can be found online by doing an internet search for “Water Consumer Confidence Report” and specifying any water provider in California. Reports show data from the previous year, and some water purveyors measure hardness by combining

the numbers for magnesium and calcium carbonate, while others, such as Casitas Municipal Water District, measure just the calcium carbonate. Divide by 17.1 to convert “parts per million” to “grains per gallon.” Some use different blends or multiple providers for various locations in their jurisdiction, so residents should check water hardness levels for their own case.

The most common alternatives to tank exchange services are water softening systems maintained by customers and salt-free systems for water conditioning. At the risk of pointing out the environmental impacts of water softening, one subpage of the Culligan website touts the environmental advantages of the salt-free systems. As noted on the website, salt-free water conditioners eliminate the need to purchase, transport, consume and discharge salt and eliminate the need to use water for flushing filter media.

Flushing salt from the resin of exchange tanks was enough of an environmental issue to cause another local company to move its treatment facility. Harris Water moved out of Ventura, which limits salty discharge to sewer systems because the waste-

Proposals from developers are due July 7.

Stephanie Lee is a 13-year Fisherman’s Wharf tenant who gives psychic readings at her business Harbor Psychic, and has watched the center fall into disrepair.

“To see it deteriorate is sad. And I think all of us are a little scared that they’re just going to put in some apartments,” she said. “We have so many apartments already, but we don’t really have anything to do in this little harbor. We have such a beautiful spot, I feel like we should do something with it. This little area has a lot of potential for tourists.”

thing down, which has been previously proposed.

“Maybe make some of the buildings look nicer, paint them, bring some of the restaurants back in,” he said. “I definitely don’t agree with having a lot more housing here.”

The biggest recent change at Channel Islands Harbor involves the demolition of vacant hotel and restaurant buildings at the end of Peninsula Road, a highly visible location that juts out into the middle of the harbor.

A project to replace the rock revetments along that area of shoreline is planned to begin soon, which should clear the way for the new Hilton hotel, restaurants and bars. Construction on the hotel and restaurant buildings could start by the end of the year and take about two years to complete, Tripp said.

When Tripp first started in October, he found it distressing to see so many vacant, vandalized and dilapidated structures around the harbor.

He said he was relieved to finally watch the demolition of the old Casa Sirena and Lobster Trap buildings.

“It is a weight off my shoulders.

When I was hired for this job, people did not believe the Casa Sirena was

going to be demolished. Several of them challenged me when I would go to public meetings. I’d tell them we were working with the developer, and that it was going to happen, and they said, ‘Yeah prove it.’ So I was very happy to see that happen,” he said about the demolition and the vacant space left behind.

The construction of the new four-story, 210-room hotel will be a major milestone in the harbor’s redevelopment, Tripp explained, saying, “It’s going to signal that things are changing. It was way too long that there was an old dilapidated hotel there.”

He’s looking forward to seeing the new hotel and amenities that are easier to envision now that the old buildings are gone.

“It’s a beautiful project,” said Tripp about the Hilton hotel which will include an elevated, open-air bar area. “I’m really looking forward to standing up on that deck and looking out over the water when that place is done.”

trust. We have to get out to where the community is, and communicate, to also make sure employers understand what their obligations are.”

While her agency uses a variety of media strategies to reach workers, including print and broadcast-

ing advertisements as well as social media, those methods don’t always reach the people they’re targeting, García-Brower said.

“When I go out in the community, so many workers don’t understand their rights, and so many workers

don’t believe that there’s something that they can do. So we knew we needed to do something else,” she said. “So this caravan was a strategy to amplify this message and have a presence in the community with trusted messengers.”

Fisherman’s Wharf.

Nearly everyone agrees the New England-style complex has lost much of its charm since it was built in the 1970s, but there’s disagreement about what should happen there in the future. The complex is about half vacant, vegetation is overgrown, and paint is peeling from buildings in need of major renovations.

Since proposals that prioritized housing drew fierce opposition, Tripp said he wants to chart a new course for the 10-acre parcel that currently has about 50,000 square feet of commercial space.

“This property is dilapidated and doesn’t meet the standard the harbor department is trying to deliver to residents and visitors,” Tripp said.

“Past proposals have failed to move forward because there’s been significant housing tied to revitalizing the commercial center. While housing is badly needed in Southern California, I’m hoping to see proposals

water treatment facility discharges to an estuary. Harris Water moved to Oxnard, which sends discharge directly into the ocean.

Salt-based systems also have more environmental impacts. In areas where saline levels are high and treated wastewater flows to rivers, the addition of more salty water into the ecosystem is so serious, new water softeners are banned. Where not banned, adding salt still reduces the value of treated wastewater, making it less desirable for watering landscaping and non-food crops. Salty water harms plants.

Even an exchange-based water softening system adds salt to a home’s wastewater, making home greywater recovery systems untenable. Those with water softeners or exchange tanks often require a carbon filter or reverse osmosis system for their kitchen faucets, if not for health concerns related to consumption of salt, then to improve water taste. Reverse osmosis has environmental costs of its own, wasting between half a gallon and several gallons of water for every gallon forced through a membrane.

Some water softening systems use potassium instead of sodium, but these systems still discharge salt

nelly, Miles Teller and Val Kilmer Rated PG-13 Fans of the 1986 box office hit Top Gun should be thrilled with this follow up. Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer return as Maverick and Iceman, now 36 years older and trying to shape up the latest generation of elite fighter pilots — which includes Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), son of “Goose,” Maverick’s best friend and wingman who died in the first film. No Kelly McGillis or Meg Ryan here, but Jennifer Connelly shows up as Maverick’s new love interest and Jon Hamm plays a naval commander. Lots of high-flying action and drama, and critics are calling it superior to the original.

Elvis RECENTLY RELEASED The Bob’s Burgers Movie

Directed by Loren Bouchard and Bernard Derriman Starring H. Jon Benjamin, Kristen Schaal, Dan Mintz and John Roberts Rated PG-13 Based on the outrageously funny Fox animated series created by Loren Bouchard about the Belcher family, led by parents and burger joint owners Bob and Linda. For his feature directorial debut, Bouchard

gets a helping hand from Bernard Derriman, and the two have crafted an equally hilarious tale full of zany antics, clever dialogue and never-miss jokes, wisely keeping the talented voice cast from the series intact. The plot is probably beside the point, but the story centers on the Belchers trying to save their restaurant after a sinkhole opens up in front of it.

Top Gun: Maverick

Directed by Joseph Kosinksi Starring Tom Cruise, Jennifer Con-

Directed by Chloe Okuno Starring Maika Monroe, Karl Glusman, Burn Gorman Rated R When an American actress moves to Bucharest, she finds herself uprooted and isolated, left alone for hours at a time while her boyfriend is at work. The tension mounts as she begins to suspect that she is being stalked by a sinister neighbor. This psychological thriller makes up for a certain predictability with style and eerie presence.

Jurassic World: Dominion

Directed by Colin Trevorrow Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill and Laura Dern Rated PG-13 Now let’s get to something big.

Really big. The Jurassic World series has pulled out all the stops in what Continued on Next Page

Familyly Friend Fun With kids out of school, plenty of parents and caregivers will be looking to movie theaters to get out of the house, break up the day or escape the heat. Here’s what’s hitting big screens for the younger set — and grownups who never lost their love of cartoons.

All films listed here are Rated PG. Lightyear (June 17) Directed by Angus McLane Starring Chris Evans, Keke Palmer Proving that Pixar and Disney just can’t leave well enough alone, the animation moguls have launched a spinoff from Toy Story featuring the lovable Buzz Lightyear, or better yet, Buzz Lightyear’s origin. It’s a tale of futuristic time travel, a battle with Emperor Zurg and the longing for home. The film’s launch of his upcoming toy marketing campaign is bound to follow. Stay tuned.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (June 24) Directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp Starring Jenny Slate, Dean FleischerCamp and Isabella Rossellini Here’s something special for the kids among all this boom and bluster. You may miss this film because of the hype of bigger films, but remember it may reemerge with your streaming services. Originally a short film, it is now being released as a live-action/stop motion-animated mockumentary. Starring the voice of comedian Jenny Slate, a tiny, odd shell with shoes engages in a search for his family. This promises lots of sweetness, humor and some very un-Pixar like animation. A welcome relief for kids and families alike.

Minions: The Rise of Gru (July 1) Directed by Kyle Balda, Brad Abelson and Jonathan del Val Starring Steve Carell, Pierre Coffin, Taraji P. Henson and Jean-Claude Van Damme Where Minions leaves off, this adventure begins. Join young, up-and-coming villain Gru and his loyal, yellow, pill-shaped followers as they attempt to join the “cool” supervillain club known as the Vicious 6.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (July 22) Directed by Mark Koetsier, Rob Minkoff and Chris Bailey Starring Michael Cera, Michelle Yeoh, Samuel L. Jackson, Mel Brooks and Ricky Gervais A city of cats being threatened by the dangerous Ika Chu (Ricky Gervais) finds its last hope to be a bumbling beagle (Michael Cera) who dreams of training to become a samurai. Very loosely based on Blazing Saddles (yes, really).

DC League of Super-Pets (July 27) Directed by Jared Stern and Sam Levine Starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Vanessa Bayer and Natasha Lyonne It’s Superman’s dog and a team of shelter pets (which includes a potbellied pig, a turtle and a squirrel) who have to save the day when Lex Luthor captures the Justice League.

If the script and jokes are as solid as the all-star cast, it could be a winner.

JUNE 17

The Lost Girls

Directed by Livia De Paolis Starring Vanessa Redgrave, Iain Glen and Joely Richardson Not rated A jaundiced and thought-provoking look at the boy who would never grow up, and the girls who fall under his spell. Based on the novel by Laurie Fox, this reimagining of the Peter Pan mythos follows Wendy Darling and her daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter as they try to break free of Peter’s influence and expectations in order to grow up and reclaim their lives for themselves. There’s magic and adventure here, darkened by family dysfunction and generational trauma.

JUNE 24 Elvis

Directed by Baz Luhrmann Starring Austin Baker and Tom Hanks Rated PG-13 Baz Luhrmann. Remember him? Director of Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby?

Yeah, it’s been a while, but the outlandish film visionary offers us a biopic of American rock and roll superstar Elvis Presley. Instead of big-name actors like Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, we get Austin Butler in the title role. It could be a breakout for the young actor.

And, oh yes, Tom Hanks plays the notorious Colonel Tom Parker. One thing is sure: This will not be your standard rock saga. Prepare to be dazzled and perhaps puzzled. Here’s hoping the music is true to its hero.

The Black Phone

Directed by Scott Derrickson Starring Ethan Hawke and Mason Thames Rated R Need a little horror to spice up your summer?

Welcome to Blumhouse’s The Black Phone.

Starring Ethan Hawke (looking something like Tom Petty) as a child killer who locks a 13-year-old boy in a basement. The boy then receives calls on a disconnected phone from other victims. Horror producer Blumhouse (The Purge, Firestarter) has been known to get dark and bloody. This one’s rated R. Brace yourself.

Thor fans will be happy to enjoy another chapter with the hunky super hero starring Chris Hemsworth and his old love Jane (Natalie Portman). There’s even a role in here for fellow hunky Australian Russell Crowe. Who cares about the story? This film promises nonstop action.

notice strange happenings in their small community. You can guess that the story takes chilling and unusual twists. Peele likes to mix the weird with the racial, and as he proved in Us, the whole concoction of horror and comedy can get pretty intense. Expect more of the same.

Bed Rest

Directed by Lori Evans Taylor Starring Melissa Barrera and Guy Burnet Here’s a nightmare for all potential parents. When a young mother-to-be (Melissa Barrera, who delighted audiences in the last year's In the Heights) is assigned to bedrest, she begins to witness supernatural activities in her home. Think Paranormal Activity with a pregnant twist.

tefan Brigati is a world-famous paranormal investigator with numerous TV appearances and his own radio show, My Darkest Hour Radio, so it seems appropriate that he also works at the Majestic Ventura Theater.

That’s because the ornate, century-old building is widely considered one of the most haunted in Ventura.

Brigati is hosting Pacific Coast Paracon on Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4, which will include speakers on ghosts and other paranormal experiences, and even a séance with famous psychic-medium Patti Negri, known as the “Good Witch” on the hit TV show Ghost Adventures.

Brigati said ghost encounters are frequent at the Ventura Theater.

“We’ve had road crew and sound engineers doing the mixing come running out of the theater saying ‘Oh my God! Something touched me,’” he said. “It happens quite a bit. It even happened last night at one of our shows.”

In addition to talks by ghost hunters, mediums and paranormal photographers, the event will also give participants a chance to look for ghosts inside parts of the theater usually off limits to the public.

“We’re letting people know about the stories and things that have occurred in certain areas of the building as far as ghosts go. And they’re allowed to bring their own equipment on the walkthrough, and they can try to make contact with the spirits themselves,” Brigati said.

One of the speakers will be Ann Bender, who works with a paranormal investigation team in Northern California. She said her earliest childhood memories are seeing spirits and past events at her home on a farm in Michigan, which terrified her parents. Now she’s devoted her life to helping people understand why spirits may be haunting buildings, and how to live with them in peace.

“I had one family recently that wanted to sell their house because they were too scared to stay there and now they’ve turned into a family that loves their home, working with what they’re dealing with,” she said.

Bender said she’s never been to Ventura before and is looking forward to trying to make contact with ghosts in the theater. But her favorite thing about attending conferences like Pacific Coast Paracon is exchanging knowledge.

The Majestic Ventura Theater has long been regarded as haunted.

Richard Senate has been hunting ghosts for decades. Photo submitted “It’s a place where we can share what we know, but we also get to learn a lot,” Bender said. “Maybe I’m doing something new that somebody else will benefit from, so there’s that exchange. And just seeing people who we’ve known over the years, who you may not get to see very often because of COVID, and because of distance.

We’re humans, we need human contact, so this is a way where we can really get together and share our passion.”

Bender said there are many reasons people are interested in learning about paranormal subjects.

“It comes down to generations of

storytelling and experiences that are different and new. Some people are thrill seekers, and just want to feel the excitement of something they can’t see touching them. And other people are scared of it, and they like that. It’s like when you watch a scary movie,” she said.

Ventura historian Richard Senate has been hunting ghosts since 1978 and has written 23 books. He’ll give a talk on some of the most haunted places he’s investigated, including La Purisima Mission in Lompoc, the historic Queen Mary ocean liner and Ventura’s own city hall, formerly used as a courthouse and jail.

Senate has heard many stories about hauntings at the Ventura Theater. One ghost he’s heard about numerous times is known as the “what ghost” because he taps women on the shoulder, causing them to turn around, then says one word, “what?” before vanishing, Senate said.

“Why he’s there and what he’s looking for, I don’t know, but he only taps women on the shoulder who are very attractive. So maybe he is a discriminating ghost,” said Senate, noting that other sightings at the theater involve phantoms that pass through walls and a headless woman who dances on the stage.

Senate is hoping people find evidence of ghosts during the conference. “It’s been a debated question for a thousand years. What are ghosts? Where do they come from?

Why are they here? Do they even exist? In some cases they don’t, they’re just stories. In other cases compelling evidence has been collected. I hope they collect something, be it a photograph or a recording, a videotape, some evidence that supports the claim that this is a haunted theater.”

Blue moment

Ojai welcomes back the Ojai Blues Fest

I

by Tim Pompey t may seem like an oxymoron, but people in Ojai are ready to welcome back the blues.

It’s good news, then, that after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Ojai Blues Fest is returning to the Ojai Art Center.

Initially launched by blues artists Tom “Crooked Eye” Natzke and Oatley Kidder back in 2015, the festival has had its challenges over the years, including its most recent break due to COVID19. But the blues is a strong force, and Natzke insists that there’s good reason to be optimistic about this festival and those yet to come.

The original blues festival, the Bowlful of Blues, also started at the Ojai Art Center. The promoters eventually moved it across the park to the Libbey Bowl when it outgrew the center.

Then, for several years, Bowlful stopped. Natzke and Kidder wanted to fill that void “Back in 2015,” Natzke recalled, “we were sitting around after performing together and drinking tequila. Oatley suggested we do a little festival, and we’ve been doing it ever since.”

Beyond the music, the festival will benefit the Ojai Art Center, which has become the Blues Fest’s adopted home. The concerts will be held in the courtyard, which can handle up to 300 concertgoers.

Natzke says musicians will cover a lot of ground during the festival’s seven hours of performance. This includes Guy Martin’s Texas blues, Ray Jaurique’s soulful sound (close to Motown, according to Natzke), Chuck Strong’s harmonica and Mississippi influence, Sandy Haley’s Janis Joplin singing style, and Crooked Eye himself offering what he termed “old school, broken life story blues.” Local musician Milo Sledge will play acoustic blues between the plugged-in acts.

Natzke used to live in Ojai but relocated to the Nashville area several months ago to take advantage of the numerous musical opportunities in the city. But his heart remains tied to the Ojai Blues Fest, and live blues remains his constant source of inspiration.

“Live blues has the most soulful connection

Tommy and Paddy Marsh at the Ojai Blues Fest in 2018. Photo by Bo Rothschild of all the music styles,” he said. “You watch the performers, and you see them pouring themselves into every note, every stanza. It’s just something that the performance will draw you in way more than the guy who can just shred his guitar. It’s so heartfelt.”

The art center is in the hub of Ojai, located near Libbey Park and many different restaurants, all within walking distance. While the concerts are ongoing, you can come and go as you please between acts and enjoy the area’s offerings.

“This festival is set up as a listening festival,” said Natzke. “We have an in-and-out policy. If people want to leave and come back, that’s fine.” ♦ Ojai Blues Fest, Saturday, June 4, 2-9 p.m at the Ojai Art Center, 113 S. Montgomery St., Ojai.

IN GOOD TASTE

Things will be great when you’re Downtown

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer

nshaffer@timespublications.com

Celebrating our 50th Anniversary!

Fresh strawberries top the blintzes; mimosa options include fresh strawberry and pineapple juice.

etween Xielo, BG’s Cafe and roughly a zillion amazing taco shops, there’s no lack of good eats in Downtown Oxnard. Even so, it got a little tastier in 2022 with the January opening of Downtown Cafe by JL. It’s owned by a trio of Lopezes — cousins Jill and Julio, and a third partner, Jose Luis — who collectively represent the “JL” in the name. (The three also own and operate Loru’s Cafe in Camarillo.)

Unsurprisingly, Mexican food is one of the specialties here — but the menu is by no means limited to south-of-the-border flavor. A variety of seafood dishes and steaks can be had at dinner, while lunch includes plenty of burgers, sandwiches and wraps.

But my favorite meal here, by far, is breakfast.

On the savory side: the usual egg, bacon and sausage dishes; biscuits and gravy; fabulous omelets and Benedicts. For those who like something sweet and/or carby: waffles (with fried chicken, if you so desire), pancakes in several different flavors, and French toast (traditional or the more indulgent cinnamon role version). But the offering that really earns my gold star: crepes.

Downtown Cafe does several different things with those crepes, too. Try the German version, with a sweet, lemony butter, or Swedish style with lingonberries.

Chocolate lovers will probably gravitate toward the Nutella-filled crepes with fresh strawberries. Love crepes but not the sweet? Chicken and mushroom or bacon, ham and Swiss — both with hollandaise sauce — beckon.

I’m a savory breakfast kind of person, but if I see blintzes on the menu, they are probably going on my order.

My husband and I started our breakfast at Downtown Cafe with just that: two fluffy, tender crepes filled with sweetened cottage cheese and topped with fresh strawberries and cream. For a lighter meal, these with an excellent latte or cappucino would have been more than sufficient.

But neither of us can resist the lure of a good chile verde, and it is definitely one of the restaurant’s spe-

cialties. We happily chowed down on chilaquiles and huevos rancheros spiked with the tangy, rich, meaty pork-and-tomatillo concoction, and ate just about every bite, despite the generous portions. We weren’t fans of the home potatoes, which were surprisingly bland despite being sautéed with bell peppers and onions, but the hash browns were flawless.

The drink menu is not exhaustive, but it’s pretty good.

The usual coffee and espresso drinks, micheladas, Bloody Marys (made with soju or something similar, I imagine) and mimosas . . . plus sodas, milkshakes, wine and beer for afternoon libations. Mimosas are $10 a pop, with your choice of cranberry, orange, pineapple or strawberry juices — and our server was kind enough to let us have a mix of pineapple and strawberry juice for ours. This is Oxnard and strawberries are in season, so it should not come as a surprise that the “juice” was fresh strawberry puree . . . and delicious. If you’re feeling indulgent, you can get it bottomless (and probably try ALL the juices) for $17.99 — but note that there’s a one hour limit on that.

As for service — every bit as good as the food! Even on this busy morning, our server took time to answer our questions, make recommendations and check on us throughout our meal. And at the end of it, Julio Lopez himself popped by to say hello (something I noticed him doing with all of his customers). Locally owned with the proprietors taking a hands-on approach to management — I’m guessing that’s contributing to the success of this lovely little cafe. (A great location and nice outdoor seating probably help, too.)

Despite stiff competition in Oxnard’s lively Fifth Street community, Downtown Cafe by JL is more than holding its own. Even on a foggy weekday morning, the place was full of cheerful diners enjoying great food, good coffee and pleasant company. Just like us. Just like you, if you go there yourself. And you should . . . because everything’s waitChilaquiles with chile verde and home potatoes. ing for you Downtown.

THE HISTORY OF GENOCIDE, PART 1, WITH DR. JASON HENSELY | 1-3 p.m. Part of the Fifty and Better Summer Lecture Series. The term “genocide” was coined in the 1940s, although genocides have occurred repeatedly since the beginning of time. Why? And what exactly is a genocide? What is the difference between physical genocide and cultural genocide? This course will spend time examining the history of the term and considering multiple case studies both from ancient times and more modern centuries––including analyzing whether or not the current war in Ukraine involves genocide. Part 1 will discuss the origin of the word “genocide” and then consider the retroactive application of that term on massacres and violence before

the middle of the 20th century. It will discuss possible genocides in the Bible and the application of genocide to the history of the United States and North America. $10, or bundle all June lectures for $54, or bundle the whole summer series for $140. Registration deadline for in-person attendees is Friday, June 3, at 1 p.m.

In this lecture, we’ll explore the evolution of public amusement in North America, from the earliest fairs and carnivals to the development of roller coasters and themed attractions, as we discover how the impulse for fun and escape deeply shapes the nation’s history.

(These lectures can be taken independently of each other.) $10, or bundle all June lectures for $54, or bundle the whole summer series for $140. Registration deadline Wednesday, June 8, at 3 p.m. www.callutheran. edu/centers/lifelong-learning/fifty-better/lecture-series.html.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Who loves the truth better than you Aries people? Who has the greatest potential to speak the real story in every situation, even when it requires extra courage? Who has more fun than you in discovering and defining and expressing the raw facts? In my Book of Life, you Rams are radiant beacons of candor — the people I go to when I need accuracy and honesty. And all I’m saying here will be especially crucial in the coming weeks. The whole world needs concentrated doses of your authenticity. Now read this pep talk from Aries philosopher St. Catherine of Siena: “Let the truth be your delight; let it always be in your mouth, and proclaim it when it is needed. Proclaim it lovingly and to everyone, especially those you love with a special love — but with a certain congeniality.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Before the 20th century, you couldn’t buy a loaf of bread that was already sliced into thin pieces. Then in 1912, the American inventor Otto Frederick Rohwedder developed a slicing machine. But all his work, including the blueprints and the machine prototypes, was destroyed in a fire. He had to seek new funding and begin again. Sixteen years later, his innovation was finally ready for broad public use. Within five years, most of the bread in the US was sold sliced. What does this have to do with you? I am picking up an Otto Frederick Rohwedder vibe when I turn my visions to you, Taurus. I suspect that in the coming months, you, too, will fulfill a postponed dream.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

A blogger named Sweetlikeacherry reminds us, “Some epiphanies are only

by rob brezsny

possible when you put away your phone and go completely offline for a while.”

She adds that sometimes you also need to at least partially avoid your phone and the internet if you hope to incubate new visions of the future and unlock important discoveries in your creative work and summon your untamed genius. According to my astrological analysis, all these possibilities are especially likely and necessary for you in the coming weeks. I trust you will carry out the necessary liberations to take full advantage.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Poet Carolyn Kizer (1925–2014) won a Pulitzer Prize for her poetry. She was smart! But when she was young and still studying her craft in college, a professor objected to one of her poems. He said, “You have pigs in this poem; pigs are not poetic.” Kizer was incensed at such ignorance. She testified, “I got up and walked out of that class and never went back.” Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you may have comparable showdowns headed your way.

I advise you to be like Kizer. You are the only one who truly knows the proper subjects of your quest. No one else has the right or the insight to tell you what your work (or play) should be about.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Leo author James Baldwin said it wasn’t often “that two people can laugh and make love, too — make love because they are laughing and laugh because they’re making love. The love and the laughter come from the same place: but not many people go there.” Your assignment, Leo, is to be the exception to Baldwin’s rule during the

coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, there’s a high possibility that interesting eros can converge with humorous fun in a glorious synergy.

You will have a knack for conjuring up ribald encounters and jovial orgasms. Your intuition will guide you to shed the solemnity from your bliss and replace it with sunny, carefree cheer.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

I’m worried you will over-indulge in your pursuit of perfection during the coming weeks. It’s fine to be exquisitely skillful and masterful; I hope you do that. But if you get obsessed with flawlessness, you will risk undoing your good intentions. As an antidote, I offer you two pieces of advice. The first is from actor and activist Jane Fonda.

She said, “We are not meant to be perfect; we are meant to be whole.” The second counsel is from philosopher and psychologist William James, who wrote, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Author Mustafa Mahmoud described the signs of love between two people: 1. feeling a comfortable familiarity; 2. having no urge or need to lie; 3. being natural, not trying to be different from who one is; 4. having little or no possibility of being embarrassed in front of the other person; 5. experiencing silence as delicious, not alienating; 6. enjoying the act of listening to the other person. I bring these pointers to your attention, Libra, because the coming months will be a favorable time to define and redefine your understandings about the signs of love. How do you feel about Mahmoud’s ideas? Are there

any more you would like to add?

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

the Nobel Prize in Literature. Will the coming months bring your equivalent of Alice Munro’s pivotal resolution? I suspect they could.

“We do not love each other without changing each other,” wrote author Madeleine L’Engle. Meditate on that gem, Scorpio. Now is a perfect time for you and your loved ones to acknowledge, honor, and celebrate the ways your love has changed each other. It may be true that some transformations have been less than ideal. If that’s the case, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to correct those trends. As for the positive changes that you and your allies have stimulated in each other: I hope you will name them and pledge to keep doing more of that good work.

“True love for whatever you are doing is the answer to everything,” proclaimed performance artist Marina Abramovic. Amen to that righteous attitude! I hope you will embrace it in the coming weeks. I hope your heart and imagination will reveal all you need to know to bring tender fresh streams of true love to the essential activities of your life. Now is an excellent time to redefine the meaning of the word “love” so it applies to all your relationships and pursuits.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. Sagittarian politician Stacey Abrams said, “From the moment I enter a room, I am clear about how I intend to be treated and how I intend to engage.” You’ll be wise to cultivate those attitudes in the next seven weeks, Sagittarius. It’s high time for you to raise your self-respect in ways that inspire others to elevate their appreciation and regard for you.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

In 1963, Jim Munro and Alice Munro founded Munro’s Books, a store in Victoria, British Columbia. After being on the job for a few months, Alice found she was not impressed with many of the products they sold. “I can write better books than this,” she told Jim. Five years later, she published her first collection of short stories, <em>Dance of the Happy Shades</em>. Fourteen books later, she won

AQUARIUS

PISCES

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

(Feb. 19-March 20):

A homeless woman in a wheelchair stopped where I was sitting outside a café. She was pushing her belongings in a small shopping cart. “Would you like to go dancing?” she said to me. “There’s a nearby park that has a great grassy dance floor.” “Maybe another day,” I told her. “My energy is low. I’ve had a lot of personal challenges lately.” I’m sure the expression on my face was less-than-ebullient.

“Cheer up, mister,” she told me. “I’m psychic, and I can tell you for sure that you will live a long life and have many more fine adventures.

I’ll be in the park if you change your mind.” My mood instantly brightened. “Thanks!” I yelled toward her as she rolled away. Now I predict that you, Pisces, will have comparable experiences in the coming days. Are you willing to welcome uplifting surprises?

Homework: If there were a clone of you, what alternate life might they be living?

WANT TO GROW YOUR OWN CANNABIS? Written by Wheelhouse Staff Last week, we covered the legal regulations surrounding growing cannabis.

Today we are going to cover more information on growing your own marijuana at home.

30% OFF CLONES

CODE: CLONE30 EXPIRES JUNE 30TH, 2022

Clones vs. Seeds If you want to get started on growing cannabis at home, we highly recommend that you start with clones rather than seeds due to several benefits such as: Starting with clones guarantees that the gender of the plant is female.

Growing clones is way easier than starting with a seed and are far less delicate than seeds. Rooted clones are easier to nurture and have a lesser chance of dying than newly sprouted seedlings.

Having a clone jump starts you by several weeks, which helps to save time in the long-run.

Vegetative Growth Additionally, clones are highly recommended because they are usually considered to be in the vegetative growth stage where the growth of the plant soars once being transferred to a larger pot. Sativa plants are lanky and don't have as many leaves in comparison to indica plants, which are shorter and denser. During this stage, it is crucial that you are able to provide warm water, moist air, nitrogen and potassium-rich nutrients, and ample soil space to help the plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall. Cannabis plants should always be in welldrained soil. If you are using an indoor grow room, make sure that plants are kept on an 18-hour daylight cycle with a 6-hour night period.

Fun Fact Since light cycles control when a plant goes from the vegetative stage to flowering, they can be kept in vegetation forever. This is used to skip the germination stage and grow plans from clones.

Where to Buy Clones If you want to buy clones, we always recommend purchasing them from a licensed dispensary that offers high-quality clones, such as Wheelhouse. We currently carry a variety of hybrid and sativa clones and have knowledgeable budtenders who can help provide the best tips on how to nurture clones to their maximum potential at home. You can order our clones in-store or online by visiting wheelhouseph.com. Please note that due to state regulations we do not deliver clones.

CA residents scramble to get State Silver Bank Rolls CALIFORNIA - Once California residents got wind that California State Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because they are the only Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design.

“The phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone will be trying to get them while they still can,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders.

In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 California State

Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of California residents already have and you don’t want to miss out.

You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped minting these Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars in 1947 and there can never be any more which moves them into the collectible coin status.

And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value.

That’s why the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Lib-

erty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Roll is a deal too good to pass up.

But you better hurry because these California State Bank Rolls themselves have been marked State Restricted by price which means the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to California residents and non-state residents must pay full price if any remain.

That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Bank Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: These are the only Walking Liberty Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design. Each Bank Roll is loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars some dating back to the early 1900’s so everyone who wants them better hurry.

Only State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to California residents California residents get first dibs on Sealed Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value starting at 7:30 am today CALIFORNIA - “California residents get first dibs. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury.

Beginning at precisely 7:30 am this morning State of California Sealed Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are actually being handed over to California residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.

“National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually saw one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said.

“But here’s the good news. The Bank Rolls themselves have been marked State Restricted by price which means the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to California residents only and non-state residents must pay full price if any Bank Rolls remain,” Lynne confirmed This is important to note. “These are the only California State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls known to exist. You can’t get them at banks or credit unions or the Government since they do not produce State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls.

In fact, you can only get them bearing the exclusive State Restricted Design and rolled this way directly

from National Mint and Treasury,” Lynne explained.

“Now that the State of California Sealed Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of California residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident while they still can,” said Lynne.

“That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars found inside the Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are 90% pure silver so California residents who get their hands on them will be glad they did,” Lynne went on to say.

And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of California you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s 15 U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because state residents who miss the deadline and non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline.

“U.S. Gov’t issued coins like these are 90% pure silver and a favorite of dealers, collectors and the like,” Lynne said.

“We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. So the only thing readers need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of California and call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s publication,” Lynne said. ■

SILVER: One of the last Silver coins minted for circulation

LAST MINTED: in Philadelphia, Denver & San Francisco

STATE MINIMUM: Of just $39 per coin set by National Mint and Treasury

ENLARGED: Year varies 1916-1947

RARELY SEEN: Minted by the U.S. mint in the early 1900’s

TO CLAIM THE CALIFORNIA STATE BANK ROLLS CALL: 1-800-260-7945 EXT. WHH1009 Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberty Half Dollars were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. So there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberty Half Dollars date back to the early 1900’s and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know Walking Liberties are collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

California residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 California State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-260-7945 Ext. WHH1009 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning.

Everyone who does is getting the only California State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents must pay $1,770 for each California State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.
