“To reduce the controversy” Ventura releases info, will consider alternative to adjudication

by Kimberly Rivers krivers@timespublications.com

O

n Monday, Jan. 27, the Ventura City Council voted unanimously to release information it claimed did not have to be released to the public. That action followed the VCReporter and Ojai Valley News filing complaints with the Ventura County District Attorney for Brown Act violations due to the city declining to the release the information. (“Secret votes? CalAware says Ventura in violation of the Brown Act,” Kimberly Rivers, VCReporter, Jan. 23, 2020.)

“In an effort to reduce the controversy in this matter, city council has directed the city attorney to report out action taken by the council to add parties in this case,” said Gregory Diaz, city attorney for Ventura, speaking following closed session on Monday. The case

he is referring to is a legal watershed adjudication cross-complaint in which the city acted to notice 10,500 people in the Ventura River Watershed that their water rights could be impacted by the legal process they commenced. Property owners along the Ventura River in West Ventura were also included.

“The vote on Sept. 9 [to include 10,500 properties in the case] was also unanimous with all members present,” stated Diaz.

The Brown Act, sometimes called a “sunshine law,” is a series of state laws requiring elected bodies to conduct the public’s business openly, not behind closed doors.

Diaz also reported the unanimous action of the city council to “waive attorney-client privilege” and release “contracts between the city and law firm of Best, Best and Krieger related to this case . . . and this case only,” which were requested by the Ojai Valley News in a Public Records Act request. Diaz stated, “these docu-

ments are considered confidential under the California Business and Professions Code.”

That position is confirmed by Kelly Aviles, an attorney who specializes in the California Public Records Act and the Brown Act, and who serves as vice president of open government compliance with Californians Aware (CalAware), a nonprofit organization headquartered in Carmichael, Calif.

Diaz also reported that during closed session on Jan. 27, the city council voted unanimously to direct staff and legal counsel to analyze a plan presented that night by Russ Baggerly and Pete Kaiser, board members of the Casitas Municipal Water District, which proposed an alternative to the adjudication process.

Diaz reported the analysis will be considered “by the city council by the Feb. 3 closed session.” ♦

Purple is the New Party

PRESIDENT Steve Strickbine VICE PRESIDENT Michael Hiatt

All isn't fair in love and politics

by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

I

n 2018, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders supposedly met to discuss how they would move forward for the 2020 election. Both knew that they’d be running on similar agendas for the country and wanted to talk about how to best move forward. Obviously, both decided to run for president, and both have seen themselves go up and down in the polls. Yet a few weeks ago, Warren decided to make a claim that Sanders told her a woman could not win the presidency. The comment came out of the blue without context or validity, creating a media fire storm. What was intended to create some steam for Warren has now proven even more that she is not ready to be president or savvy enough to pick the right fights at the right time.

If the goal of the DNC is to defeat President Donald Trump, the party of the Left isn’t doing the best job. While the more moderate like Joe Biden still sit on the top of national polling, the more interesting and passionate candidates are still fighting for the top spot. Warren and Sanders are easily the two candidates most associated with the wing’s most liberal policies.

While Sanders became the new ideological voice and movement for the DNC, Warren’s a bit late to the party. A Republican for most of her life, her drastic pendulum swing might look good to some, but is still murky to others.

What the Warren camp needs is Sanders out of the race so they can suck up his fanbase and ride a progressive wave over front-runner Joe Biden. Their strategy of being the “better option” wasn’t working, so they did the next logical step. They smeared him.

“Bernie and I met for more than two hours in December 2018 to discuss the 2020 election, our past work together and our shared goals: beating Donald Trump, taking back our government from the wealthy and well-connected, and building an

4—

economy that works for everyone,” said Warren in the statement. “Among the topics that came up was what would happen if Democrats nominated a female candidate. I thought a woman could win; he disagreed. I have no interest in discussing this private meeting any further because Bernie and I have far more in common than our differences on punditry.”

Bernie was challenged by CNN’s debate moderators a few days later about the supposed conversation.

“Well, as a matter of fact, I didn’t say it. And I don’t want to waste a whole lot of time on this, because this is what Donald Trump and maybe some of the media want. Anybody who knows me knows that it’s incomprehensible that I would think that a woman cannot be President of the United States.”

Warren’s response to Sanders defending himself: “I disagreed,” she said. “Bernie is my friend, and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie. But, look, this question about whether or not a woman can be president has been raised, and it’s time for us to attack it head-on.”

To say that he is your friend but also a full-blown sexist — who needs enemies with friends like that? Everything about this news story feels forced and a complete hack. The fact that CNN left the debate mics on after so they could record Warren and Sanders after the debate also feels fishy and a bit planned.

“I think you called me a liar on national TV,” Warren said to Sanders as the candidates all said their goodbyes to each other.

“Let’s not do it right now,” Sanders said, putting a hand up.

“You want to have that discussion, we’ll have that discussion.”

To deny that Warren tried to derail the Feel the Bern train is being naive. And it reveals one more time how she is willing to create narratives to improve her positioning in life. And that’s the difference between the two of them. Warren wants to be president, and Sanders wants to change the country. They say all is fair in love and war. Well, it’s not. And if the DNC eats its own, it’s four more years of Trump. ♦

One month countdown to March 3 primary

by Kimberly Rivers krivers@timespublications.com

W

ith just a month to go before the March 3 primary, state and county voter guides are in the mail, and candidates are working to get their message out to voters. Here is an update about recent community events with local races and candidates.

Dist. 1 Supervisor race shakeup with write-in candidate

Hall of Administration, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura.

Dist. 5 Candidate Forum

On Jan. 23, the five candidates for Ventura County Supervisor, District 5, all attended a forum hosted by the Ventura County Latino Issues Forum at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center.

The candidates for Dist. 5 are Jeffrey Burum, Tim Flynn, Jess Herrera, Carmen Ramirez and Veronica Robles-Solis.

“47 percent of all voters and 51 percent of Latino voters say that building more affordable housing should be the absolute top priority for elected leaders in Ventura County,” said Roberto Juarez, the moderator of the event. “When [the Latino] population does not do well, the rest of the population does not do well. We are all in the same damn boat.”

In Brief

that is the majority. They love the free partying and services.”

When the candidates were asked if they would accept money from oil and gas companies, Burum firmly said “yes.” Flynn attempted to say, “If they engage in responsible practice,” but when the crowd demanded a clear answer, he said “yes.” Ramirez and Solis each said “no,” and Herrera said “I haven’t been offered any . . .”

The entire video of the forum is online at www.facebook.com/ VCLatinoIssuesForum/videos/612473329313013/.

Charlene and Lymen Smith were found beaten to death at their Ventura home, and evidence links their deaths to the other crimes DeAngelo is charged with.

He is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing on May 12 and remains in custody without bail in the Sacramento County Jail.

Charges filed in Ventura parking structure killing Two men have been charged in the Jan. 19 death of Alejandro Hernandez, who died from multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting took place on the top level of the parking structure on Harbor Blvd. at the Promenade in Ventura at approximately 2:43 a.m.

Raymond Bolanos, 24, of Oxnard has been charged with murder and special allegations that he personally used a gun and is affiliated with a gang. Julian Nunez, 22, of Ventura has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, with the same special allegations as Bolanos.

Mars trek

NASA engineer Kobie Boykins discusses his career exploring the Red Planet “I ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD SPACECRAFT”

Kobie Boykins, senior mechanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Photo courtesy of NASA

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer

F

rom mythology to science fiction to present-day speculation, Mars has fascinated humans since it was first observed by ancient Egyptian astronomers. The fourth planet from the sun has beckoned with its reddish hue (from iron oxide on its surface), moon-like craters and polar ice caps reminiscent of those on Earth. It’s home to the highest known planetary mountain (Olympus Mons, also the largest volcano and more than twice the height of Mt. Everest) and one of the largest canyons in the entire Solar System (Valles Marineris, 2,500 miles long and four miles deep).

And while today Mars is exceptionally cold, dry and rugged, researchers have discovered enough similarities between it and Earth to see implications for our own planetary evolution.

“We know Mars was once an alive, waterrich, vibrant planet,” says Kobie Boykins, senior mechanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. A planet not unlike Earth today, which Boykins suggests begs the question, “Could what happened to Mars also happen on Earth?”

Boykins will ponder these and other big questions this weekend, as he relates his experiences working on NASA’s various Mars missions during Nat Geo Live at the Bank of American Performing Arts Center in Thousand Oaks.

8—

— January 30, 2020

Boykins has been intimately involved with NASA’s Mars missions since he was a college student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Upstate New York. (“The oldest nonmilitary engineering school in the United States,” Boykins states.) He tested the airbag system for Mars Pathfinder (launched in 1996) and helped fabricate the cleats on the wheels of the rover Sojourner. Later, he was part of the team that designed the solar arrays used by the “geologist” rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which both landed on Mars in 2004. He’s been working on Curiosity (landed 2012) since the beginning and now oversees its mobility and remote sensing teams — picking up a NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal along the way.

It’s a far cry from Omaha, Nebraska, where Boykins was born and raised. But even as a child, his engineering talents were evident.

“I was a kid with a knack for taking things apart and figuring out how things worked,” he recalls.

He was also something of a class clown.

Boykins relates a day during fifth grade when he’d been sent out of the classroom for acting up.

His teacher came out to the hallway to have a talk with him about his behavior, and ultimately asked him, “What are you going to do with your life?”

When he stopped to really think, the answer was clear: “I always wanted to build spacecraft.”

The Star Trek-loving Boykins relates that he saw himself as more of a Scotty than a Spock, and was further inspired by Worf and Geordi La Forge, characters from The Next Generation played by actors (Michael Dorn and LeVar Burton, respectively) who were, like himself, people of color.

So how did a self-described “cornhusker” and hockey player (who played on the RPI team, aptly named The Engineers) find his way to NASA? The usual suspects — hard work, dedication and intelligence — certainly played a role. But Boykins explains that there are a few things that are particularly important for aspiring spacecraft engineers.

“The first thing is to be curious — ask how the world works,” Boykins says. “Where do we fit in this great cosmic puzzle? Where do I fit in?

How do I fit in?”

He also sees diligence as being a particularly valuable quality for space research: “There’s a functional diligence [required] . . . people who tend to be organized and find order in disorder.

You have to be able to take nonlinear things and find an order between them.”

EDUCATED GUESSING GAME This is particularly true for space exploration, where so much is theory and conjecture.

“A lot of times we’re asking questions that are fundamental,” he explains. “Lots of things are unknowable, so there are a lot of informed, educated guesses. What are the best ways to do something? We’re trying to make the best guess we can with the information we have.”

There were a lot of questions being asked, and tests being conducted, for all three Mars rovers.

While Spirit and Opportunity were essentially tasked with finding out what was on the red planet, Curiosity was a much bigger machine with more sophisticated equipment and tasks.

“It was almost eight years from development to launch,” Boykins says. “Obviously, I’m pretty proud of it. It’s humbling, too, with so many people helping out to make it work.”

Because Curiosity was so ambitious, “We really didn’t know how it was going to go,” Boykins admits. Any mission beyond Earth’s atmosphere is fraught, presenting a veritable minefield of potential problems from launch to landing. “We had to think about what would go wrong — and test for that. And you do that again and again.”

“You hope and you pray that you’ve done your due diligence,” he continues, “so that the mission might be successful.”

That due diligence paid off. All three rover missions were successful — wildly so. Spirit and Opportunity were only expected to last about 90 days; they continued to operate for six years and 14 years, respectively. Curiosity is still going strong.

WHAT WE KNOW — AND WHAT WE DON’T Spirit and Opportunity observed and explored the Martian surface and its geology, characterizing a variety of rocks and soils through specialized cameras and a spectrometer. One of the key findings returned was that Mars had once had water on its surface.

“What’s cool about Mars is that it was once a wet planet,” Boykins explains. “At some point in the past, it had liquid water on the surface. That liquid water has since gone away — it’s very intriguing!”

Curiosity, on the other hand, “was there to see if Mars could be habitable,” Boykins says. In other words: capable of supporting life.

Curiosity is about the size of a car and as tall as a basketball player, with a seven-foot-long arm that can operate 10 different tools and 17 cameras.

It’s something of a laboratory on wheels, with the ability to collect rock, soil and air samples, take photographs, and even operate a laser. By analyzing all the various data Curiosity can collect (and

return to researchers back at JPL, via satellite — sometimes as quickly as the next day), Curiosity is able to tell a “story” about Mars: Its history, climate, geology and more.

And part of that story is that Mars does possess a variety of organic (ie carbon-based) molecules — including chlorobenzene, dichlorobutane and methane — which Boykins describes as “all the basic building blocks you’d need for life.”

He’s quick to note that no evidence of Martian life (microbial or otherwise) has been found thus far. But it’s an exciting revelation nonetheless.

“Everywhere on Earth where we find water, we find life,” Boykins says. “If Mars and Earth are similar in their planetary evolution, maybe life was once on Mars. . . . The habitability and the basic building blocks are the big things we got from Curiosity.”

IMPLICATIONS FOR EARTH All space science can be thought of as an exercise in pure curiosity, an effort to understand more about the Solar System simply because it’s there. But what makes the study of Mars of particular value?

As Boykins explains, the things we learn about Mars might be able to tell us something about Planet Earth.

“Maybe back in the past, humans could have lived [on Mars],” Boykins muses about this hypothetical wet planet. “Mars got colder — it’s further from the Sun — while Earth stayed in a more temperate zone. Today, Mars is not very habitable. The radiation gets right to the surface.

It’s quite cold. . . . There’s no complete magnetic field around Mars, so that means no spinning iron core [as there is on Earth].”

But once upon a time, in some distant past, Mars may have been much like Earth: volcanically active, a thicker atmosphere, ample water . . . alive.

Could Earth, Boykins wonders, become like Mars? And, more troubling: “Are we doing something, as humans, to hit the accelerator button?”

He also compares Mars and Earth’s other neighbor, Venus. “Venus and Mars, they are similar enough to be called sister planets to Earth,” he explains, calling the hot, hyper-active Venus “a greenhouse-gas crazy planet,” while Mars is “cold and dead.”

The question in the mind of Boykins and other space scientists: In which direction will Earth go?

MARS AND BEYOND Boykins’ latest project is scheduled to be launched this summer. Mars 2020, for which he’ll be supervising the mobility and remote sensing teams, will search for signs of both habitable con-

ditions and microbial life. The rover will be equipped with a specialized drill to collect core samples of rocks and soil, and safely store them so that they might be retrieved on a later mission and returned to Earth for analysis.

“It’s very difficult to shrink all these instruments to fit onto a rover,” Boykins explains, noting that if Martian samples can be analyzed in an Earthbased laboratory, “It would really refine how we’re looking for signs of life.”

Mars 2020 will also gather information and test technologies relevant to future human expeditions to Mars: methods for producing oxygen, improving landing techniques, characterizing weather and environmental conditions and more.

Even as NASA delves deeper into the Martian “story,” it is looking beyond the red planet to the gas giant: Jupiter. There, too, Boykins and his team will play an integral part.

“I’m working on the Europa Clipper mission to go around Europa,” Boykins says with excitement. “It’s way cool!” The mission will conduct an in-depth exploration of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, and investigate whether it could harbor conditions suitable for life. Launch could take place as early as 2023.

“IT’S TRANSCENDENT” Working for NASA in any capacity is a dream job for many — and Boykins is living the dream. In a career punctuated by numerous highlights, he says that one of his most memorable experiences was “seeing the solar array for Spirit open on the surface of Mars. I can’t explain that moment. It was just amazing.”

“All the blood, sweat and tears and many sleepless nights and arguments . . . and then seeing it land on the surface and do what it was programmed to do . . . It’s transcendent.”

What does he enjoy the most about his job?

“There’s something about being part of a team that delivers something that is so unique in the world,” Boykins says after a few moments of reflection. “I think putting a piece of machinery on another planet . . . that is just the coolest thing in the world.”

Nevertheless, Boykins never loses sight of the role serendipity plays in any successful space mission.

“We’ve become very successful at landing on the surface of Mars. But It’s not easy,” he says. “Going to space is not easy. Every time, it’s something different. We have a lot of robustness in our designs, but we’ve been lucky, too. You don’t ever want to forget that.” ♦ Nat Geo Live presents Kobie Boykins: Exploring Mars on Friday, Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, 2100 E.

Bryan: You keep it goofy and silly and don’t patronize people, you don’t talk down to anybody, keep it fast and fun. We’re Pixar — because we’re not really injecting innuendos, we’re just being the weirdest ones in the room and bringing this intensity to the table that no one else is.

You started out playing for adults in bars and clubs and then transitioned to kids. It usually goes the opposite way.

of these simple forward-facing movements that everyone can pick up on in 10 seconds.

You sometimes get a mixed reaction when opening for some bands. How do you respond when a crowd isn’t exactly feeling what you’re giving?

That’s our favorite, that’s what we like the most. It’s a challenge for us. We’ve created our show to be allinclusive and we’re trying to break an audience. When an audience is kind of against you, then we have to be tighter and smarter. It’s nice when everyone is in 100 percent, but we’re always up for a challenge. We’ve been lucky enough to open for this UK artist Frank Turner, who took us on a full U.S. and UK tour and had us be his sole opener for his entire UK tour, in tiny places, too.

Usually if we opened for punk bands in the U.S. it’d take 2-3 songs to get the audience to warm up, but in the UK it took 4-5. People came up to us after the show, though, and said, “you guys don’t make any sense and are dumb, but you’re amazing.” We step on stage in attack mode and the songs are just punching rah-rah. There will be people who we never do break who’ll boo us, but that almost makes the people who get it and like it like us more. We’re down for whichever way.

How did your upcoming single “My Jam” with the Harlem Globetrotters come about?

A couple of people on [the Globetrotters] PR team had kids who like us and they reached out. They were probably the easiest entity to work with that we ever experienced. It was the best video shoot we’ve ever had; I had the best time ever.

You guys are good at making people happy — what makes you happy?

Are the dance moves a collaborative effort?

I like salad, and composting, and hanging out with my family. I don’t really have a... “I like sugar and ice cream!” Neil and I are very fortunate to be our own bosses. We’re marching to the beat of our own drum.

Definitely making our weird songs together for as long as we have makes me happy.

Neil thinks of most of them, I guess, but everything we do is a collaborative effort. I honestly don’t know how solo performers can do it, who do you bounce off? I would go crazy if I didn’t have a partner in crime to bounce everything off of. When I’m stuck, he has something in the hopper. When he’s stuck, I do. The dancing thing is hard now because we’ve done too many videos, almost,

Also ordered: Melenzane Magnifico, Sicilian-style breaded eggplant with mozzarella and ricotta, a satisfying combination tasting even more “magnifico” on a chilly night.

The salmon beurre blanc was grilled to an ideal degree, neither overdone nor under-cooked, and served on a delicious bed of saffron risotto and fresh spinach in a light butter cream sauce and capers.

We took our time, savoring the food and the ambiance, which wait staff in good restaurants will allow.

The Bistro 13 wait staff was attentive without hovering or hurrying us along — much appreciated.

A kind server brought around a tray of desserts, which included huge slices of cake and cheesecake. But we opted for the house-made chocolate gelato (vanilla and pistachio are also available) and Torta della Nonna, a toasted lemon tart with almonds and powdered sugar.

Both were hits at our table. The gelato was smooth, chocolaty and rich without being too sweet, as befitting good gelato — or any good Italian dessert, for that matter.

And the torta? Maybe it was wishful thinking, but I swear I tasted Sorrento, the resort town south of Naples where the scent of grapefruit-sized lemons fills the air.

Making the torta last beyond a few seconds wasn’t easy, but I managed.

Bistro 13 offers a fine selection of wines, primarily from Italy and California, which we hope to sample on a future visit (though maybe not all at once). The restaurant serves lunch Tuesday-Friday and dinner TuesdaySunday, and catering services are available.

We were delighted, as we neared the end of our meal, to meet owner Giovanni Tromba himself, who greeted us warmly and asked how we enjoyed everything. Delighted by our positive response, he encouraged us to sample his son’s new Ventura restaurant, Immigrant Son, on Main Street (“Benvenuto to Downtown Ventura,” Kateri Wozny, VCReporter, Jan. 16, 2020), which we shall.

Meeting Giovanni helped us feel right at home. And it let us know, beyond doubt, that Bistro 13 has all the necessary ingredients for a memorable dining experience: pleasant atmosphere, friendly and efficient wait staff and, most necessarily, great food. Yes, we will be back. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

From Hear To Eternity

M

y roommate has this need to tell me all about his day when he gets home. Making matters worse, his main form of communication is complaining. I need quiet time when I come home, not a second job as an unlicensed therapist.

I’ve hinted at this, but he isn’t catching on.

— Weary Your hopes and dreams change as you go through life — like when you get a roommate who won’t shut up and you regularly fantasize that masked violent orthodontists are

by amy alkon holding him down in an alley while they wire his jaws together.

The thing is, you can live this dream — minus the gangland orthodontists. Retiring from your nightly gig as your roommate’s emotional garbage can just takes asserting yourself — asking for what you want instead of merely hinting at it.

Assertiveness is the healthy alternative to being passive — silently sucking up another person’s upsetting and/or unfair behavior — or going aggressive: eventually blowing up at them after you repeatedly say nothing and they, in turn, change nothing.

The foundation of assertiveness is self-respect — believing you’ve got a right to have and express desires and preferences that conflict with others’ desires and preferences. Sure, you might sometimes put somebody else’s needs first — but if you’re assertive, you’re generous by choice, not because you just automatically go all Wimpy McWimpleton.

In contrast, clinical psychologist Randy J. Paterson explains, “When you behave passively, control of your life is in the hands of people around you.” He also notes that not asserting yourself leads to stress, the “bodily reaction to the perception that we are under threat.” When that stress is chronic — happening on the regular — it’s poisonous and damaging.

It’s associated with, for example, decreased immune function and an increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, and other fun ways to get to the morgue ahead of schedule.

Assertiveness is best exercised as soon as you realize you want somebody to change their behavior. When you don’t let your annoyance fester, you’re more likely to have the composure to open with a little positivity, like saying to your roommate, “Hey, I really admire your openness about your life . . .” Yes, that’s the sound of the truth being sacrificed on the altar

for getting people to like you?

— Self-Improvement Junkie In social interaction, there’s a balance between keeping it real and keeping it strategic. Going madenthusiastic over somebody you’ve just met is cute — if you’re a labradoodle. (That also makes it more forgivable when, in your excitement, you pee on the person’s shoe.)

There are two essential pieces of advice for getting people to like you: 1. Cool pursuit instead of hot pursuit.

2. Shut up and listen.

1. Cool pursuit: A popularity contest is the one competition where it pays not to try — or, rather, to seem like you aren’t trying.

You do this, for example, by making some A-lister wait to talk with you — “Gimme a sec while I nab that appetizer . . .” — even though it’s probably killing you inside.

Erring on the side of seeming undereager is important, per psychologist Robert Cialdini’s “scarcity principle”: The less available something appears to be, the more valuable it seems and the more we want it. Accordingly, my rule: Try to seem more hard to get than hard to get rid of.

2. Shut up and listen: People think they can talk somebody into liking them, but really, you’re most likely to listen somebody into doing that.

Listening doesn’t just mean hearing.

The foundation of assertiveness is self-respect . . . out back, but it’s for a good cause — making him feel appreciated rather than attacked. This sets him up to be more amenable to your request that follows: “When I come home, I need an hour or so without conversation so I can decompress.” For best results, keep the next part of that silent: “Also so I can refrain from the temptation to bludgeon you with a potato and cut your vocal cords out with a butter knife.”

Bald Eager Are there any psychological hacks

It takes effort. It means paying close attention to what somebody’s saying and drawing on your emotions to connect with it. That sort of listening is a form of emotional generosity.

It ultimately sends the message “I’m talking to you because I’m interested in you and what you’re saying,” not “. . . because I haven’t had sex since there were dinosaurs grazing where the 7-Eleven now stands.”

Listening is also important because it helps you see whether the person you’re interested in is actually worthy of your interest. Ideally, you aren’t chasing somebody simply because you’ve been chasing them, and, clever you, you’ve seen through the liberties they’ve taken in staging their own death. You, shoving aside a medical examiner and yanking open a bit of the zipper: “Pro tip . . . the actual coroner does not offer body bags by Louis Vuitton!” (c)2020, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

My favorite ancient Greek philosopher was the rascal Diogenes. As a joke, he carried around a lantern during the daytime, proclaiming, “I am just looking for an honest man.” When Alexander the Great, the most powerful man in the world, came to meet Diogenes while he was relaxing outside and asked him if he needed any favors done, he replied, “Yeah, stop blocking my sunlight.” As for Plato, Diogenes complained that the famous philosopher talked too damn much and misinterpreted the teachings of Socrates. I encourage you to borrow some of Diogenes’ attitude in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’ll be healing for you to experiment with being brassy, saucy, and sassy. Emphasize what makes you most unique, independent, and self-expressive.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Taurus author Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) published his first novel at age 30. During the next 37 years, he completed 48 additional novels and 18 works of nonfiction. Critics liked his work well enough, but were suspicious of his prodigious productivity. When they discovered that one of Trollope’s motivations for writing was to make money, they disapproved. Then they found out that Trollope kept a watch nearby as he worked, determined to generate 250 words every 15 minutes. The critics hated that even worse. Creative artists are supposed to court inspiration, not adhere to a schedule—at least according to the critics. But I approve of and recommend Trollope-like behavior for you in the coming weeks, Taurus. Cosmic forces will be on your side if you do.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

In accordance with the astrological indicators, I

by rob brezsny

invite you to rise and soar and glide during the coming weeks. I encourage you to expand and enlarge and amplify. Don’t wait around hoping to be asked to explore and experiment and improvise — just do those things. It’s high time for you to enjoy stirring quests and research projects and missions dedicated to discovery. Be a fun-loving pioneer. Sample the joys of being a maverick and outlier.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

I love living in the material world. Its crazy-making demands and exhilarating rewards are endlessly entertaining. Despite having been born as a fantasyprone, overly sensitive Cancerian, I’ve become fairly earthy and well-grounded. I have a good job, a nice house, a smart wife, and an interesting daughter. On the other hand, I also love living in the soul’s realm. I have remembered and recorded an average of three dreams per night for many years. Although I don’t take drugs, I cultivate alternate states of consciousness through meditation, prayer, and ritual. I’ve long been a student of depth psychology, which has trained me to be as focused on my soul as my ego.

In accordance with current astrological omens, my fellow Cancerian, I urge you to hang out more than usual in the soul’s realm during the coming weeks.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Can I talk you into being more tender and openhearted toward the people who care for you? I don’t mean to imply that you are currently too hard and closed. But all of us can benefit from enhancing our receptivity, and the coming weeks will be prime time for you Leos to do just that. I think you’ll find it easier than usual to deepen your listening skills and intensify your sensitivity. You’ll have an acute intuitive grasp of the fact that you can earn yourself huge blessings by expressing love and compassion in very practical ways.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

All of us are in service to someone or something — to certain people or ideas or situations. We provide them with help or energy or mirroring or love. We are dutiful in attending to their needs and wants. For some of us, our service feels like a burden. It’s grating or humbling or inconvenient, or all of the above.

For others of us, being of service is fulfilling, even joyful. We find a rich sense of purpose in our devotion to a higher cause or deeper calling beyond our selfish concerns. Among the 12 signs of the zodiac, you Virgos are more likely than most to carry out the latter kind of service. I bring these thoughts to your attention because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to re-evaluate, reconfigure, and reinvigorate your own service.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Author David Markson imagined what it would be like to write a novel that lacked conflicts or confrontations — in other words, a novel unlike any ever created. Libran author Ursula Le Guin also fantasized about stories with plots that weren’t driven by strife and struggle. Since many of us are addicted to entertainment that depends on discord to be interesting, we might find it hard to believe Markson’s and Le Guin’s dream would ever happen. But I’m pleased to inform you, Libra, that your life in the coming weeks may be exactly like that: a fascinating adventure with few hassles and wrangles.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

According to Scorpio painter Georgia O’Keeffe, success is irrelevant. The most crucial life-long effort that anyone can be devoted to is “making your unknown known.” Did she mean making your unknown known to yourself? Or making your

unknown known to other people? Or both? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to do both. So I hope you will tease out your best and biggest mysteries from their hiding places. Give them expression.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You Sagittarians have a talent for burning bridges that really do need to be burned. Your intuition often guides you to assess when the time is ripe to withdraw from connections that no longer benefit you.

On the other hand, you sometimes burn bridges prematurely. You decide that they are in such disrepair that they’re of no use to you, even though it might serve your ultimate interests to fix them. I offer these thoughts as a preface for my advice: 1. Refurbish rather than burn a certain bridge you’re a bit disenchanted with. 2. Build at least one new bridge that will be valuable in the future.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The shape of the planets’ orbits around the sun is elliptical, not circular. Capricorn astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) was the first person to figure this out. He didn’t like it. He really wanted the orbits to be circular. That would have been more satisfying to his aesthetic and spiritual sensibilities. Explaining the arduous labor he did to arrive at his conclusion, he wrote, “Take pity on me, for I have repeated these calculations seventy times.” In the big picture of our understanding of the universe, of course, his discovery was felicitous. It’s not a problem that the orbits are elliptical, merely the truth. In the coming weeks, Capricorn, I foresee you engaging in a process that’s metaphorically comparable to Kepler’s. Hard work will yield useful, if unexpected results.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Please don’t imitate or repeat yourself in the coming weeks. Refrain from relying on formulas that have worked for you before. Resolve to either ignore or rebel against your past as you dream up fresh gambits and adventures. Treat your whole life like an improvisatory game that has just one purpose: to attract and stir up useful novelty. If you do these things, Aquarius, I can practically guarantee that you will win the game.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Poet Robert Bly believes that each of us has a special genius, and the key to understanding and fully activating that genius is in our core wound. In other words, the part of us that got hurt the worst is potentially the generative source of the best gifts we have to give. Do you know where that is in yourself: the wound that could be the source of your blessing?

Now is a great time to investigate this tantalizing mystery.

Homework: Avoid the Tragic Magic Triad: taking things too personally, too literally and too seriously.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call FOR SALE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)986-9342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2019-1260. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD SUBJECT TO THE NINETY DAY RIGHT OF REDEMPTION CONTAINED IN CIVIL CODE SECTION 5715(b). PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. Date: 1/14/2020. S.B.S LIEN SERVICES, 31194 La Baya Drive, Suite 106, Westlake Village, California, 91362.

STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.

NOTICE—ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California.

Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca.com.

Or call Covered California at 1-800300-1506.

WARNING—IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either

party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. ÓRDENES DE RESTRICCIÓN ESTÁNDAR DE DERECHO FAMILIAR En forma inmediata, usted y su cónyuge o pareja de hecho tienen prohibido: 1. llevarse del estado de California a los hijos menores de las partes, o solicitar un pasaporte nuevo o de repuesto para los hijos menores, sin el consentimiento previo por escrito de la otra parte o sin una orden de la corte; 2. cobrar, pedir prestado, cancelar, transferir, deshacerse o cambiar el nombre de los beneficiarios de cualquier seguro u otro tipo de cobertura, como de vida, salud, vehículo y discapacidad, que tenga como beneficiario(s) a las partes y su(s) hijo(s) menor(es); 3. transferir, gravar, hipotecar, ocultar o deshacerse de cualquier manera de cualquier propiedad, inmueble o personal, ya sea comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o separada, sin el consentimiento escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte, excepto en el curso habitual de actividades personales y comerciales o para satisfacer las necesidades de la vida; y 4. crear o modificar una transferencia no testamentaria de manera que afecte la asignación de una propiedad sujeta a transferencia, sin el consentimiento por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte. Antes de que se pueda eliminar la revocación de una transferencia no testamentaria, se debe presentar ante la corte un aviso del cambio y hacer una entrega legal de dicho aviso a la otra parte.

Cada parte tiene que notificar a la otra sobre cualquier gasto extraordinario propuesto por lo menos cinco días hábiles antes de realizarlo, y rendir cuenta a la corte de todos los gastos extraordinarios realizados después de que estas órdenes de restricción hayan entrado en vigencia. No obstante, puede usar propiedad comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o suya separada para pagar a un abogado que lo ayude o para pagar los costos de la corte.

AVISO—ACCESO A SEGURO DE SALUD MÁS ECONÓMICO: ¿Necesita seguro de salud a un costo asequible, ya sea para usted o alguien en su hogar? Si es así, puede presentar una solicitud con Covered California.

Covered California lo puede ayudar a reducir el costo que paga por seguro de salud asequible y de alta calidad. Para obtener más información, visite www. coveredca.com.

O llame a Covered California al 1-800300-0213.

ADVERTENCIA—IMFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado.

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.
