Ojai Valley votes CHIANY DRI for Ojai School Board, Dist. 4

Public schools for the people, by the people. Together we can foster the kind of change in our schools that will inspire greater unity and strength in our community. As a school district parent and the daughter of public school educators, I understand the important role of supporting educators and students in our district. Our school board deserves members who bring a fresh perspective. We all deserve a voice at the table who will represent the diversity of our community, who will build the bridge for young families, who will push for policies and initiatives that uplift our public schools and support our community’s vision.

because, as I’ve observed, those usually don’t end too well.” The president has reached the point that his own party cannot have a civil argument over policy because of his immature outbursts.

Ventura School Board Candidates, Area 3 by Kimberly Rivers

Amy Callahan

ELECTIO

kimberly@vcreporter.com

N

he quality of local schools impacts property values and adds to community character and vibrancy. Officials elected to school district boards manage millions in taxpayer dollars for the vital job of educating students. Ventura Unified School District (VUSD) employs about 1,300 certificated employees and 850 classified staff members, making it one of the largest employers in the area, with a budget of about $200 million. It is governed by a five-member elected board. Two candidates are seeking the seat in Area 3: Jackie Moran, a mother and local realtor, who was elected to an at-large position and is running for the first time with area voting, and Amy Yamamoto Callahan, a mother, educator and education consultant. In a Sept. 11, 2020, forum hosted by the Midtown Ventura Community Council and moderated by David Maron, Callahan and Moran responded to community questions.

Experience, literacy gaps in the spotlight

Explaining why she entered the race, Callahan said, “I was tapped on the shoulder” because of a “lack of experience that was being exhibited” by her opponent. Reflecting on Moran’s four years on the board, Callahan posited, “What really has been accomplished?” She added that Moran is “professining things that are just not true.” “Experience matters,” said Moran about why she should be elected, touting her four years on the board and serving on the California School Board Association for the district. Asked about “literacy gaps” in the district related to differences in socioeconomic status, Callahan charged the district with failing to address literacy with English language learners. “We need to be looking at the data . . . [it is a fact] that there is not a single English learner at Ventura High School that has” tested as proficient in English, she said. “It starts with leadership, it starts with caring that every student” achieves literacy. She said the library must reflect that aim and should “mirror the diversity” of students and what they are seeing in “the world around them.” She said the district doesn’t have adequate “baseline” assessments to track student progress. “Regardless of what Amy is saying . . . we have great markers,” said Moran. “All kids are tested and identified. This is not a specific child [but an] all-child issue, any child falling behind needs resources.” Callahan pointed to her goal of bringing to the district a literacy program that is designed to ensure all students, including English language learners, are grade proficient by the end of the third grade — a program being used in other areas of the state and nation. Moran said issues in learning need to be indentured “very early, rather than waiting until third grade” and that resources needed to be put in teachers’ hands early, claiming that the district has “made great progress and it’s charted.”

School bond measures

Both candidates agreed that Measure H should be approved as it renews necessary funding for work on district facilities, and they both agreed that the district needs to pass a new bond measure for additional funding, with the caveat that due to the pandemic now is not the time to ask the community to pass a bond.

Reopening the schools

Both Callahan and Moran expressed support for students getting back on campus when it’s safe to do so, but they disagreed on the best and safest way to reopen. “We were working really hard with” our committee “through summer to figure out how we would reopen,” said Moran. The district came

up with a hybrid model, with slight differences between elementary and grades six to 12. She described the “A-B format for elementary” as a kind of shift program, with group A going to campus for three hours and group B going for the other three hours each day. For middle and high schools, cohorts of students would attend in person on different days. Moran says the plans are designed to “keep exposure down,” and the district is preparing with “ a lot of PPE.” But Callahan countered that the committee did not include outside experts and the state is developing best practices that differ from the district’s plans. “The A-B model is not being looked at as the best, specifically because of safety,” said Callahan. You have to “think about cleaning and supplies.” She said others in education “haven’t found that [approach] the most successful. We need to “make sure our committees are not just internal committees,” and said the district needed to reach out to experts across the state for “best practices” that use a “pod-sized” approach.

Charter schools

“Unlike many school board members, I am not opposed to charters,” said Moran. She pointed out that students don’t all learn the same and having options is beneficial. “I think public school offers amazing things . . . I think we can compete fairly with all of them.” “I’m a proponent of choice,” said Callahan. “I’m a proponent of public education. [We] need to make sure that charters are given an equal handshake here in Ventura County,” they are a “viable option in public education.”

Improving student achievement

Moran said that when she was first elected, the VUSD school board broke up the curriculum and instruction department into three departments, each with a new administrative head. “One for overseeing the whole thing, one for elementary, one for six-12 . . . it really became important during the pandemic” by making it easier to develop distance learning plans. She emphasized the need to identify students who are struggling in elementary school and get them “resources that they need” to ensure they don’t fall behind, and for middle and high school students to create “pairings with community college” so that they “come out not just with A to G [requirements] able to go to college, [but also with] real world experience.” Callahan pressed that the district is not currently doing enough to ensure equal student achievement is possible. “We need to take student achievement seriously,” she said, noting that effort would be “reflected in our LCAP,” or Local Control and Accountability Plan. “We do not have an indicator . . .

a universal screener.” She said the district does not have a starting point from which to assess students. “So how are we able to track student achievement without having some of these metrics? As a community we really [need] to look at literacy, look at math, as our two core components. Right now we are not competing.”

Position on school resource officers

“Is there a need right now for school resource officers?” asked Callahan, adding that a conversation needs to take place “in partnership” with the Ventura Police Department, and that student assistant program counselors need to be considered as an alternative, with an eye to “restorative justice.” “I am on the subcommittee for that role,” said Moran. She called the school officers “amazing” and explained that they must apply for the position and go through a rigorous vetting process. “They are parents of kids in our district, they love our students, they are good mentors.” Moran emphasized the officers “are not there to police our kids,” but rather to “make sure they are safe and feel safe.” She said the officers are “good with restorative justice practices” and conduct “outreach to communities of color.”

Potential budget cuts

A question was posed about what programs could be cut in the event of major budget impacts. Both Moran and Callahan agreed that the district has to ensure staff positions are protected, but neither candidate answered the question. Moran plans to continue lobbying at the state and federal level for continued funding. “We have not had the horrific decline that we thought we were going to see,” due to federal funding assistance. She said “85 percent [of our budget] goes towards our staff; I don’t see a way to cut teachers. I don’t see a way to cut janitors.”

Vision for the future

While both candidates agreed that the immediate priority is students getting safely back on campus, their 5-10 year visions for the district were dramatically different. Moran said she envisioned a trend toward smaller class sizes, largely due to online learning and the technology capabilities developed by the district during the pandemic. She’s “very confident [the] data [will] show a huge difference.” Callahan said a “roadmap” is needed. The district needs “to be taking into account diversity and looking at addressing equity and access issues.” She said a plan needs to have “assigned metrics involved,” and a “functioning board, functioning cabinet. Making sure we have goals and metrics specifically identified around literacy,” to help close the achievement and equity gaps at the local schools.

Changing racist names of schools

When presented with a question about whether a school’s name should be changed if it’s racist or otherwise problematic, both candidates appeared to support change — although Callahan appeared more emphatic about it. “Of course they should be renamed,” said Callahan. “I feel firmly about it . . . many Venturans feel that as well. it’s just what we need to do.” Moran noted that community input and “all voices” must be part of the process when renaming or rebranding public property. She proposed that a committee with public input could be formed to make a recommendation to the board, for a “community-led approach.”

Ethnic Studies

The candidates were asked about whether they support ethnic studies being part of the curriculum. Both support it. Moran touted a plan she said the district developed, but Callahan challenged that assertion, pointing to state legislation that requires ethnic studies in high school. “We are ahead of the curve on this one,” said Moran. She said an ethnic studies committee worked with a “friend” of hers at UCLA and other leaders to put together a year-long proposal that is now a high school graduation requirement. But she said that this committee plans to do more and embed it in K-12. “There is more that we can do. I don’t think the VUSD authored [the curriculum]; it came through A to G requirements” from the state, Callahan said. She also emphasized that in addition to curriculum shifts, “systemic change around bias and race in our school systems” is needed to really address the inequities.

School of choice

Ventura Unified has approved the School of Choice program. The state allows a district to designate itself as such, which allows families to select the best school in the district for their children. Families are not bound to their neighborhood school. “I don’t believe in boundaries,” said Moran. “We would be able to have our kids apply to any school they want to.” She said different specialities at schools will “attract different people,” creating a “stellar opportunity” for the student and the district. Callahan also supports School of Choice and said the district can go farther and develop an “academy . . . linking to the workplace,” that would foster “different career pathways. We need to see more partnership, coalition building.” The Midtown Community Council’s Ventura Unified School District Candidate Forum is online at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_s1Sy_AOM4.

“For our democracy to flourish” Brownley, Kennedy forum by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

O

n Oct. 14, the two candidates for California’s 26th Congressional District articulated their views and positions on various topics at a forum hosted by the League of Women Voters and California State University, Channel Islands (CSUCI). The incumbent, Rep. Julia Brownley (D), has been representing the district since 2013. Her seat, which covers most of Ventura County, is being challenged by Republican Ronda-Baldwin Kennedy, a local attorney. Saying that the forum provides a platform for the “discourse we all need for our democracy to flourish,” Dr. Erika Beck, president of CSUCI, welcomed the candidates and thanked moderator David Maron. She offered that the information provided at forums provides “knowledge in service of the common good.”

Impact of COVID-19 a hot topic

As expected, the pandemic and economy dominated the discussion. Brownley said the pandemic is currently the “biggest challenge” and that she will continue advocating for pandemic relief bills. She noted that the current proposed bill is required in order to get the country back on track and to actually save the “life of our democracy.” She listed accomplishments with the Women Veteran’s Task Force and a committee on the climate crisis, which produced a recent report on the “existential threat of climate change.” She pointed to work she does specifically for the county in D.C., like funds for dredging harbors, supporting the port and naval base, as well as the brand-new veterans health care clinic to open next year in the county. Kennedy said she’d be part of a “new generation of Congress” if elected and would work at crossing the aisle to end a culture in Washington that is “so divisive that nothing gets done.” She said the pandemic “has devastated” the local economy with businesses closing and families being divided. She said she supports a relief package, but one that directs money straight to local businesses and individuals instead of getting funneled through “mismanaged states” that will continue to “mismanage” the relief funds. “We need to safely open businesses and open schools,” said Kennedy. “The cure is worse than the disease.” She said that not only has the response to the pandemic resulted in “countless” businesses closing but also a “high range of suicides.” She said rapid testing has to be available for people and when they test negative, they need to “go back to work and back to school.” The “coronavirus is dangerous” but there is a “better way to handle it.” Brownley nodded to Asian countries that are mostly back to nor-

VC VOTES

Three ways to vote

THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE All vote-by-mail ballots in California are sent to voters with prepaid first-class postage. They need only be completed, placed in the provided signed envelope and put into the mail. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before Nov. 3, and received by Nov. 20, to be counted. BALLOT DROP BOX There are 34 drop boxes available. Most of these boxes are available to receive ballots seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Some of the drop boxes are located indoors and will be available during normal business hours. Ballots are collected from drop boxes throughout the day by a team of two Ventura County Elections Division staff members. Ballots must be dropped off at these box locations no later than 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Drop Box Locations:

CAMARILLO: Camarillo City Hall, 601 Carmen Drive #6034 (24/7) Camarillo Sheriff’s Department, 3701 Las Posas Road Courtyard by Marriott, 4994 Verdugo Way (24/7) Residence Inn by Marriott, 2912 Petit St. (24/7) FILLMORE: Fillmore Library, 502 Second St. (24/7) MOORPARK: Moorpark City Hall, 799 Moorpark Ave. (24/7) NEWBURY PARK: Ventura County Fire Station #32, 830 South Reino Road OAK PARK: Oak Park Unified School District, 5801 Conifer St. OAK VIEW: County of Ventura Fire Station #23, 15 Kunkle St. OJAI: Ojai City Hall, 401 South Ventura St. (24/7) OXNARD: Habitat for Humanity, 1850 Eastman Ave. Harbor Mart, 2810 Harbor Blvd., #B3 Oxnard Public Library, 251 South A St. (24/7) River Ridge Golf Club, 2401 West Vineyard Ave. Ventura County Credit Union, 691 Town Center Drive Ventura County Human Services Agency, 1400 Vanguard Drive PORT HUENEME: Port Hueneme City Hall, 250 North Ventura Road (24/7) SANTA PAULA: Santa Paula City Hall, 970 East Ventura St. (24/7) SIMI VALLEY: Ventura County Human Services Agency, East County Community Services Center, 2900 North Madera Road Holiday Inn Express, 2550 Erringer Road Katherine School, 5455 Katherine St.

mal because of swift and coordinated national responses. She said a national plan is needed that involves testing, contact tracing, isolation and treatment and that getting a hold on the virus will allow reopening community by community. A take-at-home test is needed so people can “take a test and walk out the door knowing” they are negative. Part of a national response would require getting all the supplies lined up for a wide and “equitable” distribution of a vaccine, said Brownley. Kennedy said the top issue related to future outbreaks is avoiding “shutting the economy down,” saying the “number one priority” is that the economy “stays open, that businesses aren’t closed.” She suggested that better “clean practices” and “normal hygiene” would prevent a lot of people from getting COVID-19. People are “tired of hearing about Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump,” said Kenndy. “It’s [like] a Bloods and Crips war with the American people caught in the middle . . . We need to come together.”

Racial and social inequality

“As a Black woman in America with two Black sons, I understand the inequalities,” said Kennedy, pointing out that the district has never elected a Black woman. “That tells you something. I am the great great granddaughter of runaway slaves.” She agreed that there needs to be reform in the justice system. “I work in the justice system . . . We don’t need a band aid,” referring to reparations, but opportunities to build “generational wealth . . . Police reform is fine and dandy,” but it won’t “fix the root of the problem.” “Racism is institutionalised in our structure[s]” throughout our government,” Brownley said, noting that it needs to be “addressed in a complete and substantial way.” She pointed out that the House of Representatives has made some progress, calling the passage of the Simi Institute for Careers and Education, 1880 Blackstock Ave. Simi Valley Library, 2969 Tapo Canyon Road (24/7) THOUSAND OAKS: Best Western Plus Thousand Oaks Inn, 75 West Thousand Oaks Blvd. Conejo Valley Unified School Office, 1400 East Janss Road Thousand Oaks City Hall, 2100 Thousand Oaks Blvd. (24/7) La Quinta Inn, 1320 Newbury Road (24/7) Ventura County Fire Station #35, 751 Mitchell Road VENTURA: Government Center, Hall of Administration and Hall of Justice (three drive-up and walk-up locations), 800 South Victoria Ave. (24/7) San Buenaventura City Hall, 501 Poli St. (24/7) The Pierpont Inn, 550 Sanjon Road (24/7) Ventura Unified School District, 255 West Stanley Ave. #100 IN-PERSON VOTING LOCATIONS There are 48 in-person voting locations that provide Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant touch screen voting devices and assistance. Any voter can also drop off their vote-by-mail ballots at a voting location. Local health orders will be followed and those staffing polling locations will be screening throughout the day; everyone is required to wear face coverings and adhere to social distancing guidelines. These voting locations are not the same as typical polling locations and therefore voters are not assigned to go to a voting location. Voters can visit the location that is most convenient for them. Those voters who choose to vote in person at a voting location will be required to surrender their ballots and will be given a new ballot. If the mailed ballot is not provided, the voter will be required to use a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots require further confirmation in order to be tallied. In-person voting locations will be open Saturday, Oct. 31 through Monday, Nov. 2, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, 7 a.m.-8 p.m.

George Floyd Justice in Policing Act as a “positive step” at the federal level. That legislation would prohibit no-knock warrants, restrict use of deadly force and limited qualified immunity. She did note, however, that “sadly, the Senate is unwilling to” consider the act. Kennedy doesn’t think reparations are the best way to bring equity to the nation. “I prefer to see my children have equal opportunity, equal education . . . to own their own business.” She did point out that some large corporations today can trace their “wealth back to slavery.” She likes the idea of opportunity zones as a form of reparation, but does not think that welfare is effective and in fact said it creates situations that foster women becoming single mothers. “Single Black mothers . . . that happens for a reason.” Kennedy said the welfare system is designed to not allow for a “two-parent home.” She has a plan that would allow people to qualify for a home loan based on rental history rather than credit score. “Reparations [are] something that Congress needs to address,” Brownley countered. She would like to see “wealth-building opportunities” developed that include addressing “racial disparities in education” and housing. Kennedy did seek to distance herself a bit from the top Republican, President Donald Trump, saying she would be an independent congressperson representing Ventura County if elected. She suggested, as a way to cut the national debt, that Congress “needs to cut their salaries, cut their retirements,” and institute term limits and be on the Affordable Care Act. She said the founding fathers intended that members of Congress spend some time serving their community and then “go back to their jobs.” The forum is online at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYAUtCfkWGU&feature=emb_logo

When opposing views come together Two groups converge, police investigating by Kimberly Rivers

T

kimberly@vcreporter.com

he Ventura Police Department is investigating events that transpired following the interaction between two groups on Sunday, Oct. 11, in front of Ventura City Hall. In what was first reported by local Indigenous people as an intentional targeting may in fact be a meeting of two perspectives that have been clashing across the country.

Two groups gather

Around the noon hour on Sunday, Oct. 11, two groups were gathering in different parts of town. One group was made up of Indigenous people, who joined together around noon at the triangle area on Poli St. in front of Ventura City Hall near where the St. Junipero Serra statue previously stood. They were gathering prior to Indigenous People’s Day (Oct. 12) to sing songs and commemorate the day with a group photograph. Also on Sunday, around 11:30 a.m., a group of local residents came together in the WinCo parking lot in Telephone Plaza across town. The group had been gathering every Sunday for several weeks prior, meeting up for a weekly vehicle caravan to drive across Ventura — including in Downtown — in support of their views. As the Indigenous group was wrapping up its event, attendees began to hear honking. Turning toward the sounds, they saw a row of trucks heading east on Poli St. Many of the trucks were flying flags — American flags and some flags in support of President Donald Trump. Some drivers of the trucks were honking and waving, as they had been doing prior to reaching that location. Some of the drivers also shouted various comments. While some were innocuous, a few were derogatory. “Savages” and other offensive remarks can be heard on various video recordings. Some of the Indigenous people present also shouted back and raised their hands.

Opposing perspectives clash

The Indigenous people in the park experienced the honking and shouting as intimidation and harassment. The drivers say that they were simply drawing attention to their caravan and promoting their views. “We saw a bunch of full-sized trucks showing up . . . They passed by the first time, honking, yelling stuff out. Most of us ignored them,” said an Oxnard resident with the Indigenous group who asked that his name not be used. He then said that it seemed like trucks were coming back around. He emphasized that he takes no issue with people expressing their political views; he just really felt the drivers were there to intimidate them. “The second time around it alarmed us . . . they were coming back, people are getting scared . . . they are here to put fear in us.” Paul Hefterich, of Camarillo, was in the sixth or seventh truck from the front. He had no idea the Indigenous people would be there, and he didn’t hear anyone talking about them when the group gathered before their caravan. He didn’t know about any trucks circling back to pass by the area a second time. “I’ve been doing it for three or four weeks now,” said Hefterich. He found out about the caravan through a Facebook group for Patriots of Ventura County. “We don’t really have an agenda . . . that’s exactly what it is, patriots 10 —

showing their pride for this nation. We believe what Trump is doing is what we want for this country and we gather together to fly our flags . . . We are there to spread the love, not stir up any hate.” He said the caravan route is loosely planned out and then it’s just “follow the leader.” In past weeks they have driven that same route, as well as different routes in the downtown area. Hefterich didn’t hear anyone talking about an Indigenous gathering before the caravan, and he didn’t know anything about it until he saw the group in the park. Hefterich recalled that on Oct. 11, when he was at the triangle island across from city hall, most of the Indigenous people were down away from the road. He heard them yelling at the drivers. As he drove on he could see a few walking into the crosswalk behind him. He followed the leading trucks away from city hall, turning down Chestnut and continuing on through downtown, eventually driving down Seaward Ave. to Harbor Blvd. and then turning onto Spinnaker Drive to gather at a parking lot near the Ventura Harbor where the caravan planned to finish.

Standoff in the crosswalk

Video footage (linked below) of the interaction viewed by the VCReporter shows a group of nine people standing in the crosswalk. Several have one arm raised, and some shouted “Colonizers” and “go back to Europe.” The man from Oxnard was one of the Indigenous people who walked into the crosswalk in front of vehicles. He said that he initially entered the crosswalk to support the women who had stepped in front of the trucks, which all initially remained stopped. Some trucks began leaving the line, turning down the road to go around the triangle island and back up to Poli St., avoiding the people in the crosswalk. The truck closest to the crosswalk remained stopped. No person approached the vehicle. All pedestrians were either on the sidewalk or in the crosswalk at this time. Then several trucks pull out of the line and into the oncoming traffic lane to drive through the crosswalk, where no one is

standing. Several trucks drive by and continue on. As one truck passes, a woman with the Indigenous group — now walking in the roadway — holds an American flag that was shown flying on a pole in the back of the truck in the video seconds earlier. As a large truck moved into the oncoming traffic lane, the man from Oxnard, now in the crosswalk, stood with his hands behind his back in the crosswalk and the truck inched slowly forward, coming into contact with the man’s body. The man told the VCReporter that he looked into the face of the driver. “He was laughing . . . and I knew he was not going to stop.” The pedestrian chose to step around the driver’s side of the truck, putting himself inches from the open window. “He [the driver] reached out of the window toward my face, I backed away and he didn’t touch me.” When the man left the area a short time later, he said that he felt as though the line of trucks behind him were following him. He was driving the same route to Seaward and Harbor Blvd., and then he saw the trucks turn down Spinnaker. According to Hefterich, the trucks were not following anyone — that route was the regular final leg of the caravan route. Two other Indigenous individuals interviewed by the VCReporter following the event, who asked to remain anonymous, emphasized that the honking and shouting felt very directed at them and made them concerned for their safety. They pointed to posts on social media in which one of the drivers appears to admit to wanting to run over the Indigenous people there.

Police are investigating

On Oct. 15, David Dickey, Assistant Chief with the Ventura Police Department, spoke with the VCReporter and confirmed that an investigation was underway and therefore he is unable to speak specifically about an ongoing investigation. As of press deadline, there has been no status update on the investigation. When asked if it’s ever appropriate for a driver of a vehicle to make contact with a pedestrian, he responded, “that depends on the facts of the case. Our goal [in all investiga-

No pedestrian may suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. No pedestrian may unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.” Section (c) describes how a driver might legally approach a pedestrian: “The driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked crosswalk shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian.” Dickey also referred to California Penal Code 245 dealing with crimes and punishments. Section a-1 states, “Any person who commits an assault upon the person of another with a deadly weapon or instrument other than a firearm shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not exceeding one year, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both the fine and imprisonment.”

“Get to the truth”

Dickey emphasized that the VPD “doesn’t interpret the law,” and explained that when they receive a report of a potential crime, investigators “proceed with due diligence, evaluate,” and prepare the evidence for “presentation to the District Attorney’s office . . . ultimately it’s their office that determines whether criminal charges are filed, not the local police department. Our entire goal is to gather all available facts to get to the truth in each situation.” Dickey said he is aware of three separate similar incidents in Ventura city limits, all in the past year: an incident at Victoria Ave and Telephone (July 7) at the end of a Black Lives Matter march, one on July 4 on Harbor Blvd., and the Oct. 11 incident. “It is not normal for us to deal with this type of incident,” Dickey said. “It’s fair to say they are unusual.” He added that in his 26 years in law enforcement, he hasn’t had to deal with this type of event before. He continued that it is the job of the police to “get to the truth . . . that is what the Ventura Police Department is responsible for. We understand these situations can be tense,” adding that the department will “consider both sides” and give “due regard for racial and cultural differences and to investigate fairly without any discrimination to any group . . . both sides are owed that from us.” Date: _______________________________

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. America’s best-selling sexual performance enhancer just got a lot better. It’s the latest breakthrough for nitric oxide – the molecule that makes E.D. woes fade and restores virility when it counts the most. Nitric oxide won the Nobel Prize in 1998. It’s why “the little blue pill” works. More than 200,000 studies confirm it’s the key to superior sexual performance. And this new discovery increases nitric oxide availability resulting in even quicker, stronger and longer-lasting performance. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study (the “gold-standard” of research) involved a group of 70-year-old-men. They didn’t exercise. They didn’t eat healthy. And researchers reported their “nitric oxide availability was almost totally compromised,” resulting in blood flow less than HALF of a man in peak sexual health. But only five minutes after the first dose their blood flow increased 275%, back to levels of a perfectly healthy 31-year-old man! “It’s amazing,” remarks nitric oxide expert Dr. Al Sears. “That’s like giving 70-year-old men the sexual power of 30-year-olds.”

WHY SO MUCH EXCITEMENT? Despite the billions men spend annually on older nitric oxide therapies, there’s one wellknown problem with them. They don’t always work. A very distinguished and awarded doctor practicing at a prestigious Massachusetts hospital who has studied Nitric Oxide for over 43 years states a “deficiency of bioactive nitric oxide… leads to impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation.” In plain English, these older products may increase levels of nitric oxide. But that’s only half the battle. If it’s not bioactively available then your body can’t absorb it to produce an erection. Experts simply call it the nitric oxide “glitch.” And until now, there’s never been a solution.

NEXT GENERATION NITRIC OXIDE FORMULA FLYING OFF SHELVES Upon further research, America’s No. 1 men’s health expert Dr. Al Sears discovered certain nutrients fix this “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow.

He’s combined those nutrients with proven nitric oxide boosters in a new formula called Primal Max Red. In clinical trials, 5,000 mg is required for satisfying sexual performance. Primal Max Red contains a bigger, 9,000 mg per serving dose. It’s become so popular, he’s having trouble keeping it in stock. Dr. Sears is the author of more than 500 scientific papers. Thousands of people listened to him speak at the recent Palm Beach Health & Wellness Festival featuring Dr. Oz. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath recently visited his clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine. Primal Max Red has only been available for a few months — but everyone who takes it reports a big difference. “I have the energy to have sex three times in one day, WOW! That has not happened in years. Oh, by the way I am 62,” says Jonathan K. from Birmingham, AL.

A new discovery that increases nitric oxide availability was recently proven in a clinical trial to boost blood flow 275%

“I measured my nitric oxide levels, you can buy a test kit from Amazon,” reports 48-year-old Jeff O. “Monday night I showed depleted.” Then he used ingredients in Primal Max Red and, “The results were off the charts. I first woke around 3 a.m. on Tuesday very excited. My nitric oxide levels measured at the top end of the range.”

HOW IT WORKS

FREE BONUS TESTOSTERONE BOOSTER

Loss of erection power starts with your blood vessels. Specifically, the inside layer called the endothelium where nitric oxide is made.

Every order also gets Dr. Sears testosterone boosting formula Primal Max Black for free.

The problem is various factors THICKEN your blood vessels as you age. This blocks availability causing the nitric oxide “glitch.” The result is difficulty in getting and sustaining a healthy erection. How bad is the problem? Researcher shows the typical 40-year-old man absorbs 50% less nitric oxide. At 50, that drops to 25%. And once you pass 60 just a measly 15% gets through. To make matters worse, nitric oxide levels start declining in your 30’s. And by 70, nitric oxide production is down an alarming 75%. Primal Max Red is the first formula to tackle both problems. Combining powerful nitric oxide boosters and a proven delivery mechanism that defeats the nitric oxide “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow. There’s not enough space here to fully explain how it works, so Dr. Sears will send anyone who orders Primal Max Red a free special report that explains everything.

MORE CLINICAL RESULTS Nutrients in Primal Max Red have logged impressive results. In a Journal of Applied Physiology study, one resulted in a 30 times MORE nitric oxide. And these increased levels lasted up to 12 hours.

“If you want passionate ‘rip your clothes off’ sex you had in your younger days, you need nitric oxide to get your erection going. And testosterone for energy and drive,” says Dr. Sears. “You get both with Primal Max Red and Primal Max Black.”

HOW TO GET PRIMAL MAX To secure free bottles of Primal Max Black and get the hot, new Primal Max Red formula, buyers should contact the Sears Health Hotline at 1-800-215-5247 within the next 48 hours. “It’s not available in drug stores yet,” says Dr. Sears. “The Hotline allows us to ship directly to the customer.” Dr. Sears feels so strongly about Primal Max, all orders are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. “Just send me back the bottle and any unused product within 90 days from purchase date, and I’ll send you all your money back,” he says. The Hotline will be open for the next 48 hours. After that, the phone number will be shut down to allow them to restock.

The Beach Boys bringing good vibrations to the fairgrounds by Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

he Beach Boys’ Mike Love knows the formula for a perfect concert — play the hits. The iconic band will do just that when it performs a drivein concert at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. “We don’t like to disappoint,” he says. “‘California Girls’ is an iconic song. ‘Good Vibrations’ is an iconic song. ‘Kokomo’ is our biggest-selling single. It came out 32 years ago in the movie Cocktail. ‘Fun, Fun, Fun’ comes to mind. ‘Surfin’ USA’ comes to mind. ‘I Get Around.’ We’ll be doing all of them.” The Concerts in Your Car performance will also include new material like Love’s latest single “This Too Shall Pass,” which he released at the start of the pandemic to encourage positivity. All royalties from the song, which features John Stamos on drums, go to Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund. “It’s a brand-new song I wrote after being at home for a couple weeks,” Love says. “If you purchase it on Amazon or anything else, the proceeds go to Feeding America, which is a nationwide food bank organization that does a fantastic job.” The Beach Boys have sold more than 100 million records worldwide and have received over 33 platinum and gold record awards from the Recording Industry Association of America. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers were also honored at the 2001 Grammy Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award. With more than five decades of touring under their belts, The Beach Boys have performed more concerts than any major rock band. Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys, Capitol/EMI’s 30-track collection of the band’s biggest hits, has achieved triple-platinum success with sales of more than 3 million copies in the United States since its release. At the fairgrounds, Love will be joined by longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Scott Totten, Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill, Keith Hubacher and Randy Leago. This concert will not feature Brian Wilson, Al Jardine or David Marks. There will be one special guest, though. “John Stamos is going to play drums and back up on a song,” Love says. “Stamos is a longtime friend and family member. He was Blackie on General Hospital when he performed with us back in the mid-’80s. He’s been a friend for a long time.” Love says he and the rest of the band are “more than rested” and ready for the drive-in show. He is sorry, though, that The Beach Boys’ plans were canceled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had the biggest year of our career planned and it all disappeared due to the pandemic,” he says. “About 90 percent of the shows were postponed until next year and 10 percent are gone because they were date specific.” The year was The Beach Boys’ biggest because of the extensive tour it had planned in North America and Europe. “Our music has carried us around the world,” he says. “Basically, we had the attendance records for the

nation of Australia, which is one big surfin’ country.” Love says the drive-in shows are a perfect fit for The Beach Boys. “I think The Beach Boys became famous because of car radios,” Love adds. “Yes, we did Ed Sullivan and Johnny Carson and other things. We performed with Bob Hope and Jack Benny in a show in 1965. That was intimidating. Bob Hope — he was an icon. Other than that, the majority of our music was heard by all the kids tuning into their car radios, and ones at home, of course.” The Concerts in Your Car events are designed with four oversized screens. “This is awesome doing these drive-in concerts,” he says. “They’re not proper drive-ins. They’re setting up the stage and the video. We’ll do our performance and show our videos. There are going to be great songs — a whole cross-section of songs from The Beach Boys from ‘Surfin’ Safari’ in 1962 to ‘Kokomo’ in 1988.” The Beach Boys perform Friday, Oct. 23, at 8:30 p.m. at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, 10 W. Harbor Blvd., Ventura. For tickets and more information, visit concertsinyourcar.com.

ADVICE GODDESS

Heavy Mental

I’m a woman who recently stopped talking with a guy I’d been seeing because, frankly, I didn’t find him intelligent enough. He is a good guy, but just a little dim for me. When I told my friends this was the reason I ended things, they said it was a bit snobbish. Does this make me an intellectual snob? I get that he has other good qualities, but I just don’t feel like they’re enough. — Nerd Seeking Nerd Love sometimes requires one to make sacrifices, but these shouldn’t include avoiding any words with more than two syllables. You aren’t alone in wanting a part-

ner with smarts. In 1989, evolutionary psychologist David Buss and his colleagues did a massive study exploring mate preferences, including the desire for an intelligent partner, across 37 cultures (“on six continents and five islands”). Their participant group included Gujarati Indians, Estonians, mainland Chinese, Santa Catarina Brazilians, and South African Zulus. Using such a broad cross-cultural group (rather than just surveying the latest crop of American college undergrads) helps parse which traits might be evolved “human universals,” inherited by humans around the globe, irrespective of culture. Universal human traits — for example, communicating with language and fear of snakes — evolved to solve recurring problems faced by ancestral humans across continents and over generations, improving our chances of surviving, mating, and, most importantly, passing on our genes. Buss found that for some mate preferences, “cultures varied tremendously.” For example, the Dutch had a “whatevs!” attitude toward whether a partner is a virgin, while people in mainland China, India, and Iran placed a lot of importance on “chastity or virginity” in a partner. There were also

strong sex differences in certain mate preferences — even across cultures — for example, with men (on average) “always ... valuing virginity more than women.” This might help a man avoid a hookup-erella and the evolutionary fail of unwittingly investing in a kid who’ll pass on some other dude’s genes. Of course, no woman has to worry her kid isn’t hers (especially not after 26 hours of screaming labor to push it out). There were also some universal mate preferences — across cultures and in both sexes. Buss and his team found that intelligence (as well as kindness and health) were chart-toppers, traits desired by men and women across cultures from Z to Z: from the Zulus to the Croatians in Zagreb. Granted, Buss did this research 30 years ago. Do his findings hold up? They do — according to a survey of 14,000 people in 45 countries published in March of 2020 by evolutionary psychologist Daniel Conroy-Beam and his grad student Kathryn V. Walter, in concert with a huge international team of researchers. They write, “Consistent with Buss (1989), our results showed that health, kindness, and intelligence were highly valued by both

men and women” around the world. Why might intelligence in a mate have evolved to be such a strong, culturally universal preference? In research exploring the role of men’s intelligence in heterosexual women’s mate choices, psychologist Mark D. Prokosch and his colleagues explain that “greater intelligence is generally associated with success in a wide variety of circumstances,” most notably, workplace success, leading to higher income. “Selecting a more intelligent mate often provides women with better access to resources and parental investment for offspring.” Additionally, smart-man genes are likely to lead to smarter children, making intelligence attractive as an “overall heritable ... quality.” There’s a widely held myth that romantic partners need to be near doppelgangers — have matching traits and interests — to make it as a couple. This sells memberships to those dating sites promising to ferret out “points of compatibility.” However, research by psychologist Manon van Scheppingen finds that varying, complementing personality traits (such as outgoingness or conscientiousness) in partners often lead to greater relationship satisfaction. That said, it’s reasonable to want a

partner with a level of smarts that’s a pretty good match with yours, because, well, a meeting of the minds is a little hard when one mind is tuned into Cold War documentaries while the other is all up in reruns of “Scooby-Doo.” Chances are the notion that you’re a “snob” for wanting an intellectually well-matched partner is driven in part by others’ fear that they’ll be nixed by potential partners for traits beyond their control. There’s this lovely fiction that “what’s inside is all that matters.” A person’s heart and character are deeply important, but you can’t just decide to have the hots for some Mr. Libido Repellent because he feeds orphaned baby birds with an eyedropper while taking calls for a suicide hotline. Likewise, you can believe all people have innate value and treat them with respect and dignity and still not feel you’re compatible with a partner whose intelligence test results lead to a participation trophy. ©2020, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

“I’ve been told that nobody sings the word ‘hunger’ like I do,” testified Aries chanteuse Billie Holiday. She wasn’t suggesting that she had a stylish way of crooning about fine dining. Rather, she meant “hunger” in the sense of the longing for life’s poignant richness. Her genius-level ability to express such beauty was due in part to her skillful vocal technique, but also because she was a master of cultivating soulful emotions. Your assignment in the coming weeks, Aries, is to refine and deepen your own hunger.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Author Renata Adler expresses my own feelings when she writes, “Hardly anyone about whom I deeply care resembles anyone else I have ever met, or heard of, or read about in literature.” I bet if you’re honest, Taurus, you would say the same. It’s almost certainly the case that the people you regard as worthy of your love and interest are absolutely unique. In the sense that there are no other characters like them in the world, they are superstars and prodigies. I bring this to your attention because now is an excellent time to fully express your appreciation for their one-of-akind beauty — to honor and celebrate them for their entertainment value and precious influence and unparalleled blessings.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“If you cannot find an element of humor in something, you’re not taking it seriously enough,” writes author Ilyas Kassam. That’s a key thought for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. Levity and joking will be necessities, not luxuries. Fun and amusement will be essential ingredients in the quest to make good decisions. You can’t afford to be solemn and stern, because

allowing those states to dominate you would diminish your intelligence. Being playful— even in the face of challenges—will ensure your ultimate success.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

I’m hoping the horoscopes I wrote for you in late August helped propel you into a higher level of commitment to the art of transformation. In any case, I suspect that you will have the chance, in the coming weeks, to go even further in your mastery of that art. To inspire you in your efforts, I’ll encourage you to at least temporarily adopt one or more of the nicknames in the following list: 1. Flux Luster 2. Fateful Fluctuator 3. Shift Virtuoso 4. Flow Maestro 5. Alteration Adept 6. Change Arranger 7. Mutability Savant 8. Transition Connoisseur

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too,” wrote author Anne Morrow Lindbergh. “If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. Only when one is connected to one’s own core, is one connected to others.” In bringing these thoughts to your attention, Leo, I don’t mean to imply that you are out of touch with your deep self. Not at all. But in my view, all of us can benefit from getting into ever-closer communion with our deep selves. In the coming weeks, you especially need to work on that—and are likely to have extra success in doing so.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

My cosmic tipsters told me that you will be even smarter than usual in the coming weeks. As I scoured the heavenly maps, I detected signs that you have the potential to be a skilled code-cracker, riddle-decipher-

er, and solver of knotty problems and tricky dilemmas. That’s why I suggest you express gratitude to your beautiful brain, Virgo. Sing it sweet songs and tell it how much you love it and find out which foods you can eat to strengthen it even more. Now read Diane Ackerman’s description of the brain: “that shiny mound of being, that mouse-gray parliament of cells, that dream factory, that petit tyrant inside a ball of bone, that huddle of neurons calling all the plays, that little everywhere, that fickle pleasuredome.”

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

I vote in American elections, but I’ve never belonged to a political party. One of my favorite politicians is Bernie Sanders, who for most of his career has been an Independent. But now I’m a staunch advocate for the Democrats. Why? Because Republicans are so thoroughly under the curse of the nasty, cruel, toxic person known as Donald Trump. I’m convinced that it’s crucial for our country’s well-being that Democrats achieve total victory in the upcoming election. In accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to do your personal equivalent of what I’ve done: Unambiguously align yourself with influences that represent your highest, noblest values. Take a sacred stand not just for yourself, but also in behalf of everything you love.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity,” said fashion writer Diana Vreeland. Here’s how I interpret that: People who care mostly for their own feelings and welfare, and who believe they’re more important than everyone else, are boring and repellent. But those who enjoy looking their best and expressing their unique beauty may do so out of a desire

to share their gifts with the world. Their motivation might be artistry and generosity, not self-centeredness. In accordance with cosmic potentials, Scorpio, I invite you to elude the temptations of narcissism as you explore benevolent forms of vanity.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Yes, do let people see you sweat. At least for now, be forthright and revelatory. Let people witness your secret fire, your fierce tang, your salty tears, and your unhealed wounds. Hold nothing back as you give what you haven’t been able to give before. Be gleefully expressive as you unveil every truth, every question, every buried joy. Don’t be crude and insensitive, of course. Be as elegant and respectful as possible. But make it your priority to experiment with sacred vulnerability. Find out how far you can safely go as you strip away the disguises that have kept you out of touch with your full power.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Between 2008 and 2017, Southern California had two sizable earthquakes: 5.5 and 5.1 on the Richter scale. But during the same period, the area had 1.8 million small quakes that were mostly too mild to be felt. The ground beneath the feet of the local people was shaking at the rate of once every three minutes. Metaphorically speaking, Capricorn, you’re now in a phase that resembles the mild shakes. There’s a lot of action going on beneath the surface, although not much of it is obvious. I think this is a good thing. The changes you’re shepherding are proceeding at a safe, gradual, well-integrated pace.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

No American woman was allowed to earn a medical degree and practice as a physi-

cian until Aquarian-born Elizabeth Blackwell did it in 1849. It was an almost impossible feat, since the all-male college she attended undermined her mercilessly. Once she began her career a doctor, she constantly had to outwit men who made it difficult for her. Nevertheless, she persisted. Eventually, she helped create a medical school for women in England and made it possible for 476 women to practice medicine there. I propose that we make her your patron saint for now. May she inspire you to redouble your diligent pursuit of your big dream. Here’s your motto: “Nevertheless, I’m persisting.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Henry David Thoreau wrote, “I fear my expression may not be extravagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limit of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced.” You’ll be wise to have a similar fear, Pisces. According to my analysis, you can generate good fortune for yourself by transcending what you already know and think.
