OPINION Purple is the New Party

United States of Dignity

by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

B

ased on Thursday’s (10/31/2019) vote, the impeachment process of President Donald Trump looks to be moving forward, as an inquiry will take place. As a #NeverTrump believer, I can confidently say that I’m very interested in the inquiry and resolution in his Ukraine-gate scandal. On the surface, Trump’s complete disrespect of the office with political blackmail and requesting information on Hunter Biden for resources is a slam dunk, but the aftermath of this, and the pushing for a verdict that may not be the correct one, could divide the country more. While it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement and drama of impeachment and removal, Americans cannot view this as a victory in any scenario. America has remained the moral and political authority in the world because of our checks and balances, Constitution and innocent-until-guilty philosophy. If we look for a verdict either way that doesn’t resemble actual truth, we may find that Trump didn’t destroy America — we did.

Since 1998, when Bill Clinton was put through the impeachment process because of lying under oath about his “sexual relations” with Monica Lewinsky, America has gone from a melting pot to a boiling pot. The 2000 election and hanging chads didn’t help.

Then two wars happened, and a liberal two-

term president vilified by Fox News and only to be rectified by MSNBC didn’t help. It’s not uncommon to read news stories about families cutting each other off for their voting choices.

None of this is healthy. Yet, the consensus has been by the Left and Never Trumpers to impeach and remove at any cost. While shady, Trump’s previous “crimes” could not lead to any punishment. Collusion was a lame duck.

Tax returns are still missing. The FBI’s Director James Comey was useless. So, before everyone gets their “I’m With Impeachment” t-shirt, just remember that he has survived his whole life safe from any repercussions. If the cities of New York or New Jersey couldn’t catch him up to no good, can we really expect politicians?

Either way, though, an American President under trial is not a good thing. Too many countries have crumbled after leaders were thrown out, arrested or killed. However this impeachment process moves forward, we must demand our leaders and talking heads focus on maintaining dignity and following the rules set forth 200-plus years ago by our forefathers.

A few months ago, beloved Canadian professor and writer Jordan Peterson was on Real Time with Bill Maher. The panel was all gungho about impeachment and removal, until Peterson asked a very serious question: “It looks to me, from an outsider’s perspective, your country is polarizing in a way that’s not good and that, you know, people are going after Trump and I understand that, but there’s all these people that elected him and

identify with him and they’re not taking this well. You might not think they’re very bright and all of that, but you know, you need to have respect for the rest of your citizens and if your country is going to pull itself apart and as you really see this happening from an outsider’s perspective.”

We can’t forget that 62 million Americans voted for him, and removal from offices nullifies what they did three years ago in November. And nullifying a group of gun-toting Republicans and independents could lead to a civil war of undesired consequences.

“I’m concerned about the dialogue in the United States around the presidency, pulling people farther and farther apart,” Peterson went on to add. “It has nothing to do with the behavior of Trump. I think this is an independent issue.”

While Trump is a divisive force, the GOP was pretty harsh on President Barack Obama, and that wedge created an opportunity for Trump to defeat a lot of capable candidates.

Americans cannot rejoice in the destruction of a president, but we must only rejoice if the system works, with all its procedures and protocols.

Too often Americans are known for being reactionary and impulsive. In our news-asentertainment, reality-TV-conditioned perspective, the removal of a president is a sad outcome, and it cannot just be viewed as an extension of Trump’s old show The Appren♦ tice.

Letters Homelessness and Predatory Landlords Each night, over 1,650 people are homeless in Ventura County. Homelessness has jumped 28 percent in 2019. Contributing factors were families displaced by the Thomas Fire and the overall scarcity of affordable housing in our county.

Gov. Newsom attempted to do something about the problem of homelessness, and signed a rent control law. The new law only allows landlords to increase rents by 5 percent plus inflation each year until 2030. What a great idea! But it was unforeseeable that this would cause a domino effect, paving the way for greedy landlords to exploit tenants before the Jan. 1 deadline. Landlords are evicting tenants — sometimes for no cause — so rents can be dramatically increased before the new year.

For the past six years, I’ve lived in a small rental house near downtown Ventura in an area referred to as “Off the Avenue.” Until the 1950s this area was “Tortilla Flats.” It is still a multicultural mixture of down-to-earth people. Most of us are renters. Most live paycheck to paycheck. I have one neighbor who works three full-time minimum-wage jobs just to pay rent and feed his family.

I love my eclectic neighborhood: teachers,

artists, laborers, couples with young kids; retired folk.

This house was built in the 1920s. It has rusty pipes, worn wiring and visiting rodents.

But this has been my home and I have loved this house with a pride equal to ownership.

I was surprised when a stranger handdelivered a 60-day Quit Notice. Another predatory landlord evicted my next-door neighbor just two days prior. And rumor has it that two families over on the next street face the same demise. All over the state, families are facing the financial disaster. Moving is stressful, unsettling and costly.

It was well within the landlord’s right to give notice to evict . . . it just wasn’t very kind.

And right before the holiday season makes it especially heartless. And greedy.

I hope we all find affordable housing. I doubt we all will. Some will move in with relatives and friends, while others will stay in the cramped quarters of a parked RV. And unfortunately many will join our large homeless community living down in the nearby Ventura River bottom.

This is all very tragic. Why do we continue to treat each other this way and choose profit over people? What is wrong with humanity?

NEWS Eye on Oil

In Brief

by Kimberly Rivers

Maria Fire wrap-up, Phos-Chek mop up?

Federal government opens 28,000 acres for new oil leases

L

ast week the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) completed a Resource Management Plan, which includes opening over one million acres of public lands throughout California, including 28,000 acres in Ventura County, to new oil and gas drilling.

“New leases and/or requests for permits to drill and their potential impacts would be addressed at the site or projectspecific level in a subsequent tiered environmental analysis,” states the BLM website. The federal government owns the mineral rights that could potentially be sold to oil companies for a minimum of $2 an acre.

Areas in Ventura County impacted by the new plan include parcels between Fillmore and Piru, 136 acres between Lake Casitas and Highway 101 and 240 acres between Ventura and Cañada Larga. Also included are approximately 1,500 acres next to Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge and various parcels in the Ojai Valley, including a parcel owned by the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy. A small area within Point Mugu State Park and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area is part of the plan along with the three properties of Naval Base Ventura County — the Port of Hueneme, Pt. Mugu Naval Base and all of San Nicholas Island — and parcels in the Cuyama Valley near Frazier Mountain.

Environmental groups challenged the first draft of the plan in court which led to an impact study being conducted. The study did not identify significant impacts from new oil drilling or hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) in these areas. Because the BLM made no changes from the initial plan, the process does not allow for any further administrative appeals. Any further opposition to the plan would take place in the courts.

According to a statement issued by Los Padres ForestWatch, one of the groups challenging the plan, they are “working with partners to evaluate next steps.”

More information at www.blm.gov/press-release/blmbakersfield-announces-availability-hydraulic-fracturingimpacts-analysis.

Air control district subpeonas oil company On Oct. 4, 2019, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) Hearing Board issued a subpoena to California Resources Petroleum Corporation (CRPC) to appear at a special hearing set for Nov. 14, 5:30 p.m., at the Ventura County Board of Supervisors Hearing Room, 800 S. Victoria Avenue, Ventura.

The board issued the subpoena in response to district staff’s request in order to determine the reasons CRPC is no longer allowing Carbon California, another oil company, to sell produced gas to Southern California Gas Company through a CRPC pipeline. As a result, Carbon California has had to seek a variance to be able to flare the gas, which would exceed its current APCD permit emissions allowance.

CRPC and Carbon California operate oil and gas leases in the area north of Santa Paula and in the Upper Ojai Valley, and they have an agreement that allows Carbon to move produced gas (extracted with oil) into a CRPC owned pipeline for processing and ultimate sale to Southern California Gas Company.

In a letter to Todd Habliston of Carbon Energy Corp. (which manages Carbon California) dated June 26, 2019, CRPC said they were forced to cut off Carbon’s access to that pipeline because recent work on the pipeline by SoCal Gas “reduced the amount of gas CRPC can deliver into [the] pipeline.” CRPC states that when SoCal Gas is able to accept gas at “full capacity,” Carbon can resume using the pipeline.

APCD staff, in a letter to the hearing board dated Oct. 30, 2019, reported that they were told by SoCal Gas that the “distribution pipeline in the Newhall Ranch Area,” which was closed in June, was reopened on Sept. 21, and that in fact, that was the pipeline at issue, requiring CRPC to “shut-in” Carbon’s access to the sales pipeline.

Carbon has two permits from the APCD to operate three gas flares used to burn off excess gas that is not of sufficient quality to go into the sales line. Those flares are in the Timber Canyon, Ojai Fee and Hamp leases. The APCD permit includes maximum flaring amounts, and Carbon has had to apply for a variance to be able to flare more since it can’t use the CRPC pipeline. Those variances expire Nov. 22.

APCD staff asked for the subpoenas to hear from CRPC as the “first hand witness that can explain the reasons that Carbon has shut in” from the pipeline.

VCCCD, teachers at impasse krivers@timespublications.com

O

n Tuesday, Nov. 5, the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) proceeded to the next step in contract negotiations that have so far been unsuccessful with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 1828.

“They are declaring that they have made their last and final offer to us, and no further negotiations are possible between the district and the faculty,” said Michael Sheetz, executive director, AFT Local 1828.

He said the VCCCD intends “to file a declaration of impasse today with the California Employee Relations Board.”

That action sets in motion a process governed by state law; the next step is non-binding mediation.

“This next step is specified in our current contract with AFT and provides both parties with the opportunity for assistance from an outside, impartial stateappointed mediator when no further progress is being made,” said Greg Gillespie, VCCCD chancellor.

The district has firmly held to its position that switching to California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CALPERS) to manage the health insurance for all district employees will allow the district to offer faculty raises and put all employees, including classified staff, on the same healthcare plan.

Faculty have pointed to a large reserve fund, and that there have not been any raises in three years. They also do not want to change their healthcare coverage.

“AFT is demanding pay increases of 10 percent in

6—

each of the next three years with no changes to their medical plan,” stated VCCCD in a statement released on Nov. 5.

But Sheetz said they are potentially open to other healthcare options and referred to the ongoing work of the Health Benefits Committee that was convened by the district pursuant to the contract that recently expired. Sheetz said that committee was tasked with finding healthcare plan alternatives that lower overall costs and that the district hasn’t allowed the committee to complete its work before deciding on CALPERS. Sheetz also said that the latest district offer is the same as an earlier offer, but with “an additional $2,410 one-time bonus, contingent on accepting the CALPERS health plan.” He added that the union has “concerns” about whether putting all insureds on CALPERS is even “feasible” because some retirees may not qualify.

Other AFT demands that were not addressed in the final offer included an effort to “increase the amount of pay for part-time faculty” related to office hours.

According to Sheetz, it’s something most part-time teachers do naturally for “our students,” but part-time teachers are not currently paid for those hours.

District officials have said they want to provide raises and that a change in the health plan is necessary in order to do that, but Sheetz argued that, “if that was their true intention,” the proposed faculty raises would equal the amount saved, which he claims is not the case. ♦ Photo by Kimberly Rivers

The VCCCD Board of Trustee meeting takes place on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 6 p.m., 761 Daily Drive, Camarillo.

Last Thursday, Oct. 31, as crews contained the Easy Fire in Simi Valley, a new fire started on top of South Mountain in Santa Paula. The Maria Fire would ultimately burn just under 10,000 acres and destroy four structures. As of press deadline the fire is 95% contained.

During the fire fight, crews dealt with unique challenges due to the steep and remote terrain sloping down into agricultural lands and residential communities. According to a Ventura County Fire Department radio broadcast (timestamp 9:24 p.m., Oct. 31) all fire lines were told to focus on protecting mature avocado orchards due to their potential to “yield high volume of money.”

Obscured by smoke, a DC-10 air tanker drops Phos-Chek on the Santa Paula line of the Maria Fire on Friday, Nov. 1.

By the next morning, fixed-wing air tankers dropped a red fire retardant called “Phos-Chek” along the foothills of South Mountain to help keep the fire from spreading. The red substance now coats streets, cars, houses and, in some cases, avocado and citrus orchards.

“We are still looking into this, but recommend people do not consume anything with Phos-Chek on it,” said Ed Williams, Ventura County Agricultural Commissioner, via email to the VCReporter. “From the studies done on toxicity, it appears to be very low. Basically it seems to be fertilizer with some additives for spreading and sticking. I would definitely recommend that any produce should be thoroughly cleaned before use, and if it can’t be cleaned, people should avoid eating it.”

While the fire was active, information about the compound was posted to vcemergency.com, but has since been removed. That information stated:

Phos-Chek Clean-up

Chemicals used to fight fires contain toxic materials and can contaminate food and cookware. The chemicals cannot be washed off the food. Foods that are exposed to chemicals should be thrown away.

Do: • Phos-Chek is designed to rinse off with running water. Wet the retardant down, wash it away, wait 15 minutes and repeat, and it should come off.

• If Phos-Chek sticks to surfaces like a roof, wood or sidewalk, a soft bristle brush or a biodegradable cleaner can be used to help speed its removal.

• To remove it from your skin, wash with gentle soap and water.

Do Not: • Do Not use a high pressure power-washer, which can push the product further into surfaces like stucco or concrete. If it’s deeply embedded, it may not come out.

• Do Not use hard brushes or stiff bristles to scrub it off, for the same reason.

• Do Not use bleach or harsh chemicals to clean decks, outdoor furniture or homes. Harmful fumes can result.

• Do Not Leave Phos-Chek standing in puddles or pools, where pets or wildlife might drink it. After the rains, be particularly vigilant. Fill with sand, soil or other absorbent material that can be removed if necessary.

Bucking grand jury report

krivers@timespublications.com

O

n Tuesday, Nov. 5, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors voted to send a recommendation to the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) to increase monitoring in the county for airborne pesticides, prompted by a grand jury report dated April 25, 2019, entitled, “Pesticide Monitoring Near Schools and Day-Care Centers.”

The supervisors’ action, however, falls short of the recommendation of the grand jury, which cited the fact that there is one pesticide monitoring site in the county, and therefore “recommends the establishment of additional monitoring facilities for detecting pesticide and fumigant overspray and drift.” The grand jury noted that an additional monitor would help “reassure the public regarding the safety of agricultural activities in proximity to day-care and school sites.”

The existing monitoring site is located at Rio Mesa High School in Oxnard.

The report also cited various findings related to impacts of pesticide and other agricultural chemicals. “The [Ventura County agricultural] industry uses toxic fumigants and pesticides to control soil pests for most of its fruit and vegetable crops, as well as nursery plants . . . These fumigants and pesticides present risks to the health of farmworkers and to those in proximity to agricultural activities, including people at schools and daycare centers,” stated the grand jury report. It cites a 2014 study linking the impaired mental development of children with early exposure to organophosphate pesticides.

The report also noted “that the Ventura County Agricultural Commissioner (VCAC) and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) . . . [have] been effective in reducing exposure of stu-

A community heals and remembers on the anniversary of the Borderline shooting Story and photos

by Kateri Wozny

G

arrett Gratland will never forget what happened on the night of Nov. 7, 2018.

Gratland, 25, a Newbury Park resident and Army veteran, was enjoying time with friends at Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks when Ian David Long, 28, a Newbury Park resident and former Marine veteran, entered the establishment with a .45-caliber handgun and began shooting.

Telemachus Orfanos, 27, and Justin Meek, 23, stepped in to stop Long.

Gratland said Meek put up his arms to shield people while Orfanos wrestled Long and was stabbed. Gratland then escaped through the back door and returned through the front door to help others when he encountered Sgt. Ron Helus, a 29-year veteran of the Ventura County Sheriff ’s Department.

“He said, put your hands up! Because he thought I was the shooter at first,” Gratland said. He later witnessed Helus getting shot and, along with another officer, helped carry him to an SUV heading to a local hospital.

Helus died a short time later. He was 54 years old.

One year later, Gratland is coping with the aftermath better than others he knew who were at Borderline that night. He was sent to the Middle East for

8—

— November 7, 2019

a government contracting job one month after the shooting, which took up most of his time and energy. “[Borderline] is not a typical bar-type place like people think, it’s a place for everyone to come hang out and [the shooting] turned everyone into better friends,” Gratland said. “[Meek and Orfanos] are heroes for sure.”

Healing Through Stories

While residents tried to make sense of that tragedy, as well as the Hill and Woolsey fires that broke out shortly thereafter, Thousand Oaks resident Shannon Savage-Howie organized the Thousand Oaks Remembers (T.O. Remembers) storytelling project in June to help community members heal and find strength through sharing stories.

The T.O. Remembers team consists of local mental health professionals, government workers, ministry workers and communication professionals.

“The team who created this whole project represents different voices from the community,” Savage-Howie said. “The whole intention is, we promote healing.”

Savage-Howie was inspired to create the storytelling project after attending something similar through The Hearth in Ashland, Ore. “It was apparent that this is something that will be powerful in the community,” Savage-Howie said.

The storytelling project includes

listening groups, written stories and a live storytelling event. The listening groups are facilitated by 20 trained individuals that connect with community groups.

“It’s set-up as a place where people can speak their story,” Savage-Howie said.

“Nothing’s recorded, they have a space to do that and people can hear others. They can also opt to write a story.”

In partnership with the Museum of Ventura County, T.O. Remembers is also gathering written stories to be shared and archived. Savage-Howie said stories can be signed or anonymous and can be submitted through the T.O. Remembers website. Handwritten stories may also be submitted to locked boxes at Borderline, California Lutheran University, Five07 Coffee Bar and the Grant R. Brimhall Library. The goal is to finish the project

by January.

“It’s been important in our efforts that we get as many voices as possible,” Savage-Howie said.

In addition, a podcast was launched with interviews from well-known community members, and a live event called “T.O. Remembers: Stories from November 2019,” will take place on Friday, Nov. 8, 7-9 p.m. at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, 2100 E.Thousand Oaks Blvd. The event is supported by a $3,200 grant from the Thousand Oaks City Council, and will feature stories from five community members about how they were affected

by the tragedies, a dance troupe honoring the Borderline victims, and local musicians. A reflection space with a display of written stories, pictures and artwork will also be on display in the lobby.

“It’s a place for the community to come together and hear and receive stories in a space of healing,” SavageHowie said.

“A Universal Emotional Curve”

Michael Morisette and his wife, Martha, were asleep at their house in Simi Valley when they heard a banging on their door. It was their daughter Kristina’s friend Maggie, telling them she had heard on the news about a shooting at Borderline. Kristina, 20, had been working as a hostess that night.

Michael had recently picked up his daughter from the airport. Kristina had just returned from Texas, where she was looking at a school to become an animal handler. The two went to breakfast as she showed her father photos from the trip.

Back home, Kristina took a nap before her shift at Borderline and Michael got ready for work.

“I wished her well and told her I was glad she was home safe,” Michael said.

Those were the last words he would ever say to his daughter.

After visits and calls to local hospitals

VCREPORTER.COM to check for Kristina, the Morisettes were left with no answers and later went to the Thousand Oaks Teen Center, which had been set up as a reunification center for friends and families of victims and survivors.

“We knew Kristina was there [at Borderline] and not answering her calls or text messages,” Michael said. “We assumed from the news that maybe she was one that went out one of the windows and dropped her phone in the bushes, or she was still inside hiding, or being interviewed by the police.”

The Morisettes sat for hours in the gym with hundreds of others as they waited for information from officials. At 12:30 p.m., they received the heartbreaking news.

“We went into a private room [with officials] and broke down and cried,” Michael said. “It was hard.”

Michael said the healing process has gotten easier one year later.

“At first you’re in total shock, it went on for weeks,” Michael said. “You lose track of time and it was a fog. It’s a universal emotional curve.”

Michael said that advocates from the Ventura County District Attorney’s Crime Victims’ Assistance Office, Thousand Oaks Police Chief and a Ventura County Sheriff’s liaison still keep in touch with the family. He has also been attending weekly counseling sessions and is an advocate through nonprofit Give an Hour’s Campaign to Change Direction, which is an effort to change the culture of mental health in the U.S. “People should not just watch their physical health but emotional health as well and ask what we can do to make it better,” Michael said. “If we can walk each other through, we can get to the other side and still have a healthy life with the losses we have incurred. We owe that to our loved ones.”

Healing in Nature

Community members can come together and reflect at the newly built Healing Garden at Conejo Creek North Park.

According to the Conejo Recreation and Park District website, the garden consists of a healing space with a 12-jet fountain (for the 12 victims), a reflection seating area with surrounding plants and flowers, and an oak tree. Twelve granite benches will be placed along the walkway, and 12 boulders will be placed near the stage of the Lakeside Pavilion. The walkway consists of pavers in different colors representing the 248 survivors.

“The garden will prove to be a healing site for the entire city for what was the most tragic event in our entire history,” said Thousand Oaks Mayor Rob McCoy. “This will not be the last memorial but it will be the memorial completed in time for the one-year anniversary. This was critical for our city to complete this in time for this anniversary as the fires hindered our immediate ability to mourn as a city.”

A public dedication ceremony is set to take place on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 3:15 p.m. at Conejo Creek North Park’s Lakeside Picnic Pavilion, 1379 E. Janss Road.

For more information, visit www.crpd.org/healinggarden.

“He Always Wanted to Be a Hero and Die a Hero”

When Shoshauni Washburn’s mother woke her up at 7 a.m. telling her that Cody Coffman, her boyfriend of four years, was missing, she didn’t believe her.

“I told her, no, it’s fine, he was at Borderline and probably got home late and is sleeping,” said Washburn, 20, a Castaic resident. She had spoken to Coffman five minutes before the shooting occurred.

“He was my nightly phone call every single night,” Washburn said.

Coffman had always encouraged his girlfriend to come to Borderline with him, but that night, she had school work to complete. She later learned of his passing from his mother.

“He was a corky person and I’ve always been a corky kind of person too.

We meshed well,” Washburn said.

She said the healing process has been difficult and began moving forward after

Coffman’s birthday in August. She also now attends Borderline’s Country Nights at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills.

“I was more or less told to let him go and not forget him but live on for him,” Washburn said. “No matter what you did, he was always your best friend and had your back. In the end, he would take a bullet for you.”

Healing Through Celebration

On Saturday, Nov. 9, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., the Borderline Strong Party in the Park will take place at Conejo Creek North Park.

The event will include live music by the Highway Starr band, Borderline DJs, a beer and wine garden, line dancing, food trucks and other activities.

“The intention is to always have this celebration the Saturday after the seventh [of November] so that the victims and survivors are never forgotten,” said Troy Hale, co-owner of Borderline Bar and Grill. “It’s going to be a fun time and we anticipate a high turnout.”

Proceeds from the event will go to the Rotary Club of Westlake Village. Hale said a Borderline Strong Foundation nonprofit is also in the works, where 12 scholarships in each of the victims’ names will be handed out once a year to a student who has the same professional interest as one of the victims.

Hale and co-owner Brian Hynes weren’t there the night of the shooting, but received phone calls and text messages from other employees and drove to the bar minutes later.

“We thought, ‘this can’t be happening and I hope that everybody is accounted for and that we find out who is missing,’ ” Hale said.

Since then, the co-owners have been to the bar frequently to clean out posters and pick up other items, even providing walkthroughs for families looking for a sense of closure.

“It’s one of the hardest things we’ve ever done,” Hale said.

He also said the bar’s future is unknown. Currently, Borderline Country Nights are held at The Canyon Clubs in

Agoura Hills, Montclair, Pasadena and Santa Clarita.

“This has been one of the hardest years of our lives,” Hale said. “We are doing everything we can to keep busy and move forward and try to reopen Borderline to some capacity. We’re still talking with our landlord and insurance company, we’re not in the position to make decisions ourselves yet. The vast majority of people would love us to reopen.” ♦ To purchase tickets, visit www.borderlinebarandgrill.com.

Help for trauma survivors For those needing a professional to talk to, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Crime Victims’ Assistance Unit helps those who have gone through trauma.

According to unit supervisor Dina Zuhric, about 315 individuals impacted by Borderline have reached out to the program. Victim advocates skilled in crisis intervention provide information about upcoming community events and referrals to service providers such as therapists.

Zuhric said survivors one year later still call to obtain information about professional resources and will continue to do so as long as the services are needed. On the day of the anniversary, she advised to start thinking of what individual activities will be done throughout the day so it doesn’t come as a surprise.

“The feelings will rise up,” Zuhric said. “I think it’s very important to talk to others and reach out to therapists’, family or a support group to be around.”

Empathy: Beneath the Surface at CMATO

by Emily Dodi

‘‘I’

ve always wanted to do something on empathy,” says Lynn Farrand, senior curator of the California Museum of Art Thousand Oaks (CMATO). “But it’s really important to do it now. It is going to be such a tough time for the community.”

Farrand, of course, is referring to the first anniversary of the twin tragedies that struck Ventura County, especially Thousand Oaks. On Nov. 7, 2018, the horrific Borderline Bar and Grill mass shooting was followed hours later by the outbreak of the devastating Woolsey and Hill fires.

But how do you sum up empathy? One has to dive beneath the surface to explore the emotions we all share, from hope, anxiety and resilience to defiance, courage and love. The result is Empathy: Beneath the Surface, on exhibit at CMATO through Feb. 16, featuring the work of artists Hung Liu, John Nava, Simphiwe Ndzube, Ami Vitale, Marisa Caichiolo, Marjorie Salvaterra and Tom Everhart.

“It struck us that we really wanted to do diverse media and artists,” says Farrand. “Anyone would be touched by one of the artists, but [the exhibit] needed to be diverse because of the subject matter. [The exhibit] would reach more people with different voices.”

The exhibit includes paintings by Hung Liu, “one of the most prominent Chinese-born American artists working in the U.S. today.” Her subjects, many of whom are migrant workers, are depicted with vivid realism and humanity.

Life in post-apartheid South Africa is the subject of South Africa-born Simphiwe Ndzube’s mixed media collages, yet the emotions they convey are universal.

The same can be said of the human need to be heard, which is addressed in the striking portraits — some paintings, some tapestries — created by Ojai-based artist John Nava. In them, young adults, some wearing messages of defiance, others exhibiting ennui, lock eyes with the viewer.

The gorgeous nature photography of American filmmaker and National Geographic photographer Ami Vita-

li asks us to remember that the world is not ours alone.

Evocative of Italian black and white cinema, Marjorie Salvaterra’s photographs use glamour and humor to address “the roles women are expected to play and how they cope.”

Tom Everhart, the only artist allowed to use Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts™ characters in his art, utilizes the familiar images “to communicate a new sensibility — one that is at once accessible and exotic.”

The idea of home takes shape in a powerful installation piece by Argentina-born local artist Marisa Caichiolo. A sculpture of a house hangs in the middle of the room, seemingly ripped by its roots. Wrapped around the roots are tufts of Caichiolo’s own hair. Nearby, more charred roots, taken from the Woolsey Fire, jut from the wall, and a recording of Caichiolo’s voice fills the space.

In the final gallery, like in every CMATO exhibit, there is an opportunity for visitors to contribute to a communal art piece. The work, entitled “Common Threads,” is made up of spools on the wall, labeled with different feelings such as “happy,” “loved,” “fearful,” “lonely,” “worried” and others. Visitors are invited to thread colorful yarn from one emotion they are experiencing to another.

The result is an ever-changing physical representation of our collective spirit. In commemoration of the anniversary, CMATO will also be re-exhibiting the communal prayer flags created by the community in 2018 in the direct aftermath of the twin tragedies.

The events of last year come into ever more sharp focus as we face the threat of more wildfires. The community rallies once again, proving that the human spirit is made of steely stuffy. The more it is tested, the stronger it becomes. Exponentially so, when we come together. At the heart of what unites us is empathy, and yet it is hard to put into words all the emotions and experiences we share. That is where art comes in, to manifest what we ♦ are feeling into works that speak volumes.

hought Halloween was over, did you?

For some, playing dress-up in a favorite costume — a.k.a., “cosplay” — is a year-round activity that allows one to step outside an everyday persona and into not just the world of make-believe but contact with fellow “cosplayers.”

“It’s community building,” smiles Gabriela Jimenez, community outreach and promotions coordinator for the Camarillo Public Library, which is hosting its first-ever Comic-Con® festival on Nov. 9.

“Cosplay has universal appeal because it’s so imaginative and it doesn’t allow for stereotypes,” says Jimenez. “It allows people from all parts of life, from all ages, to connect with each other. And because the library functions as a community center, having Comic-Con here connects the community in a way that is fun, interactive and inclusive.”

Adults as well as teens and kids, she says, are interested in anime, manga and the superhero genre, which have helped account for the rise in popularity of comics conventions throughout the country. Recognizing local community interest, the Camarillo Library in October hosted a “school of cosplay,” a fourpart series of workshops for adults, teens and adults with special needs.

The workshops (funded by a grant from the Washington, D.C.-based Institute of Museum and Library Services) were taught by professional costume designers who introduced students to creating custom patterns, sewing, decorating on fabric and working with special effects material.

“We had very good response,” notes Jimenez. “The participants learned new skills, and they created things they’ll get to wear at events like ours.”

Aimed at all age groups, Camarillo’s Comic-Con offers an opportunity to celebrate comic books and pop culture via crafts, activities, games and cosplay.

Numerous local businesses and agencies, led by the Friends of the Camarillo Library, are providing support for the event A Comic Creator Panel (12:30 p.m.) is scheduled to include Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics), Larry Houston (X-Men), Christina Rice (My Little Pony), Nat Gertler (The Peanuts Collection), Dylan Campbell (Scared by the Bell) and Spencer Labbe (The Castaway King Chronicles).

At 1:30 p.m., featured guest Daniel Handler, creator of the beloved book series A Series of Unfortunate Events under the pen name Lemony Snicket, will speak and answer questions (pre-registration required). “A lot of families have pre-registered for this,” says Jimenez.

Throughout the day, all are invited to interact with those in costume (take a picture with Pikachu!), “and at the very least be entertained,” says Jimenez.

“Cosplay is both mainstream and niche, and it allows people to connect with each other. Those not into it can still appreciate the interpretations that are created. And people of all ages enjoy the chance to bring characters to life in a way that is spirited and engaging.” ♦ Camarillo Public Library Comic-Con® takes place on Saturday, Nov. 9, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at 4101 Las Posas Road, Camarillo.

Admission is free; pre-registration required for Daniel Handler event. For more information, call 805-388-5222 or visit www.camarillolibrary.org.

Empathy: Beneath the Surface through Feb. 16 at the California Museum of Art Thousand Oaks, The Oaks Mall, 350 W. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks. For more information, call 805-405-5240 or visit cmato.org.

Feeling the (local) love The Local Love Project Holiday Album supports Ventura County disaster relief

by Emily Dodi

W

e could all use a little holiday cheer right about now and The Local Love Project Holiday Album: The Spirit of Giving has come along just in time. Featuring top local musicians performing holiday favorites, the collection is the very embodiment of good will toward all, most specifically those affected by California wildfires. Proceeds from the sale of the album will benefit the Local Love Project, a non-profit Ventura County-based disaster relief organization.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Sugaray Rayford, Kelly’s Lot, Raging Arb and the Redheads, Towse, The Vonettes, AD Boom Duo and PROOF more put their unique spin on holiday songs, ranging from “O Holy Night” and “Angels We e Inn Ad Executive: Warren Barrett Have(805) 648-2244 Heard on High” to “Rockabilly Christmas” and “Run Rudolph Run.” over carefully and indicate all corrections clearly.

The idea to record an album came about during last ISSUE: 6/6/19 X THIS PROOF TO (805) 648-2245 ASAP year’s Thomas Fire Remembrance concert at the Libbey Bowl in Ojai. Kat Merrick, founder of the Local Love Project and Totally Local VC, remembers being backstage with some of the musicians and Ralph Carter, a local record producer/songwriter/musician.

“It was like a love fest,” Merrick recalls. “Ralph said, ‘We should make a CD to remember this.’ ” They decided to make a holiday album because the Thomas Fire began on Dec. 4 — and what better way to lift spirits when they need it most?

Carter and John Baffa, a recording engineer and the founder of TV Tray Recording Studio, donated their time, studios and talents to produce the album. Merrick acted as executive producer and one artist after another s correct p address is correct p expiration date is correct signedponto spelling is correct the project.

“It’s just another example of the community giving back to each other,” Merrick says.

($15) at a number of local shops, including Avenue Thrift Store, BMC Hardware and Spicetopia in Downtown Ventura. (More stores will be carrying it soon.) It is also available to download at the Totally Local VC website (www.totallylocalvc.com/local-love-at-its-best-a-holidaycd-to-benefit-fire-survivors/) and on Spotify.

Fans can see some of the musicians in person on Friday, Nov. 8, at the Local Love Project CD Release Party and Second Annual Thomas Fire Remembrance Event at the Masonic Lodge in Downtown Ventura. “It will be an evening of music, love and a time for our community to come together,” says Merrick. Thomas Fire survivors who are signed up with the Local Love Project, or who can show proof of loss, are admitted free to the event.

The holiday album is just one of the many things that Totally Local VC’s Local Love Project has done and continues to do for survivors of California wildfires.

Merrick herself lost her home to the blaze, but within two days from the start of the Thomas Fire, she helped start the nonprofit.

“You feel better when you help people,” says Merrick.

She is not alone. The project’s mission is “Locals helping locals,” with a primary goal “to activate and organize our members of the community in the aftermath of a disaster.” It is a multi-stage effort that doesn’t end when the smoke clears and the sirens fade.

“It’s a three- to seven-year recovery period,” Merrick explains, from evacuation to settling into a new home to acquiring all the basic necessities. The list is long, but the community rallied. “The community has never been this tight.” The Local Love Project has helped more than 700 wildfire survivors and helped warehouse and distribute more than $1.9 million dollars in necessary items.

The need continues but the Local Love Project is still going strong, just like the community it represents and serves. Purchases of The Local Love Project Holiday Album will help make it even stronger.

The Local Love Project CD Release Party and Second Annual Thomas Fire Remembrance Event takes place on Friday, Nov. 8, at the Masonic Lodge, 482 E. Santa Clara St., Ventura. For tickets and more information, visit www.totallylocalvc.com.

ter dressing. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my palate (perhaps due to the cashew butter).

Our four crostini included a tasty traditional bruschetta piled high with tiny chopped tomatoes; the mushroom trio with shallot confit, garlic, parsley and riobolo; marinated artichoke with crema de pecora and pistachio dust with a bit of a kick; and smashed cannellini beans that resembled pâté with friarelli greens (aka rapini or broccoli rabe), pickled Fresno Chili pepper and olio nuovo.

Cold sandwiches (with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, Dijon mustard and vinaigrette) ring in at $9.95-13.50.

Both the Peirano’s Italian (capocollo, salami, mortadella, provolone and Calabrian butter) and the turkey and pancetta sounded good, but early reviews raving about the hearty hot sandwiches appealed for a future visit.

I did end up returning, and ordered one of the cold sandwiches to go. Billed as “Italian Classics,” it featured prosciutto piled high with lots of arugula and tasty tomato oil to wet the somewhat hard “thin baguette” (more chewy Italian roll than French baguette). There was a spread of stracchino cheese — and fresh mozzarella accidentally included that I think they should keep on this sandwich. I took the bread/roll home and the texture improved in the toaster the next morning.

Closed Mondays, Peirano’s Market carries a nice selection of pastas, canned goods (including delish Italian wedding soup, just $2.35), olive oils, cookies, etc. that can be made into gift baskets — as well as cases with Ex Voto artisanal chocolates, produce and even fresh local flowers. Breakfast is served Saturday and Sundays; the private dining room in the back is already taking reservations. Peirano’s also caters and sells “family meals” (like lasagna) to go.

All in all, if you like old-fashioned Italian fare with a slight California twist, then you will like this place.

The staff is extremely friendly, happy and helpful, and it’s hard to beat the comfortable patio with a lovely outdoor view. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

A Labor Of Leave I haven’t had sex since my last breakup, and I’m all lusty. I really like this guy, but he seems to have some intimacy issues. We went on a coffee date, and the chemistry made things go further than I would have wanted or expected (making out like crazy in the car). My friends keep reminding me to build trust and friendship before sex. But can you really go backward? Like, is it possible to just hang out and chat once things have gotten hot and heavy?

— Lustbucket

A nice thick pane of bulletproof

by amy alkon glass between two people is an underappreciated chastity helper, which is to say, in a perfect world, you’d plan your dates around one of you getting a job in a check-cashing place or getting arrested and held without bail.

There’s a tendency when you’ve initially gone a little too heavy into the heavy petting to be all: “Oh, well...cat’s out of the bag. Let’s just go straight to the sex dungeon.”

However, for women especially, having sex right away can lead to a sort of psychological blinding to their sex partner’s shortcomings.

Women seem more prone to getting attached when they have sex. This is thought to result from surging oxytocin, a hormone associated with emotional bonding between mothers and children, as well as lovers.

Oxytocin is released in both men and women through cuddling, kissing, and especially through orgasm. However, in men, having sex also sets off a big blast of testosterone. Testosterone goes all nightclub bouncer on oxytocin, blocking it from getting to its receptor. So just as a woman’s going all melt-o about a guy, if the guy has no pre-sex emotional attachment to her, his neurochemistry is prodding him to say something sweet and romantic, like “Thanks for the ride! Have a great life!”

In other words, the bulletproof glass suggestion isn’t all that

outrageous. It’s a form of “precommitment,” a strategy by economist Thomas Schelling that involves preparing in advance to make it difficult for you to break a promise or duck a goal. Incorporating precommitment could mean only scheduling lunch dates in restaurants and only on days when you have a work meeting right afterward. Another idea is getting to know each other over the phone more than in person — with the caveat that you only do it in relatively public places, where turning

especially bad when I’m trying to go to sleep. How do I stop these intrusive thoughts?

— Besieged

It’s like that spinning teacup ride, with Satan as the carny: “Wanna get off ? Too bad!”

You’re doing your best to avoid thinking about the guy. Unfortunately, there’s a problem with that. Research by psychologist Daniel Wegner on “the paradoxical effects of thought suppression” suggests our minds have something in common with a defiant 2-year-old, meaning that telling yourself not to think about something gets your mind doing exactly the opposite: thinking about that thing with a vengeance.

This is just how the mind works. When you tell yourself not to think about something, it’s an immediate fail. The mind sweeps around to monitor how well you’re doing at not thinking about it, which of course involves thinking about whatever you’re not supposed be thinking about.

Helpfully, Wegner and his colleagues found a possible way to stem the flood of intrusive thoughts: distraction. This requires thinking of something positive and unrelated to the thoughts you’re trying to suppress. Even a red Volkswagen — the example they used in their experiment — could do the job.

It’s like that spinning teacup ride, with Satan as the carny.

FaceTime into PenisTime is likely to lead to, um, jail time.

Fade To Bleh I’m a very obsessive person. I went on one date with this guy, and it was immediately apparent that he’s emotionally unavailable and broken. I deleted his number but soon dug it back up. I texted, but he never responded. I know he’s bad news, but I still think about him constantly. It’s

What’s more, psychologists Jens Forster and Nira Liberman found that you can keep your mind from constantly bouncing back to a thought if you shift your focus: admit that not thinking about it is hard. As I explain in “Unf*ckology,” “Removing the need to patrol your thoughts . . . removes the mental sticky note that tells you to keep going back into Thoughtland with a flashlight to see how well you’re doing at it.”

Finally, because the mind cannot multitask, meaning think two thoughts at once, it might be helpful at bedtime to tire yourself out reading aloud or following a guided meditation on your phone: You’re walking down a beach . . . you’re looking out into the waves . . . and . . . um . . . oops! Just remind yourself that not thinking about something is hard and yank your mind back to Swami Doodah after you inevitably picture yourself holding the guy down and drowning him in the ocean.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Aries psychologist James Hillman said we keep “our images and fantasies at arm’s length because they are so full of love.” They’re also quite flammable, he added. They are always on the verge of catching fire, metaphorically speaking. That’s why many people wrap their love-filled images and fantasies in metaphorical asbestos: to prevent them from igniting a blaze in their psyches. In my astrological opinion, you Aries folks always have a mandate to use less asbestos than all the other signs—even none at all. That’s even truer than usual right now. Keep your images and fantasies extra close and raw and wild.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Poet James Merrill was ecstatic when he learned the Greek language. According to his biographer, he felt he could articulate his needs “with more force and clarity, with greater simplicity and less self-consciousness, than he ever could in his own language.”

He concluded, “Freedom to be oneself is all very well; the greater freedom is not to be oneself.” Personally, I think that’s an exaggeration. I believe the freedom to be yourself is very, very important. But for you in the coming weeks, Taurus, the freedom to not be yourself could indeed be quite liberating. What might you do to stretch your capacities beyond what you’ve assumed is true about you? Are you willing to rebel against and transcend your previous self-conceptions?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Musician Brian Eno made a deck of oracular cards called Oblique Strategies. Each card has a suggestion designed to trigger creative thinking about a project or process you’re working on. You Geminis might find it useful to call on Oblique Strategies right now, since you’re navigating your way through a phase of

by rob brezsny

adjustment and rearrangement. The card I drew for you is “Honor thy error as hidden intention.” Here’s how I interpet it: An apparent lapse or misstep will actually be the result of your deeper mind guiding you to take a fruitful detour.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

We devote a lot of energy to wishing and hoping about the meaningful joys we’d love to bring into our lives. And yet few of us have been trained in the best strategies for manifesting our wishes and hopes.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that now is a favorable time for you to upgrade your skills at getting what you want. With that in mind, I present you with the simple but potent wisdom of author Maya Angelou: “Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.” To flesh that out, I’ll add: Formulate a precise statement describing your heart’s yearning, and then work hard to make yourself ready for its fulfillment.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

What are the key parts of your life—the sources and influences that enable you to be your most soulful self? I urge you to nourish them intensely during the next three weeks. Next question: What are the marginally important parts of your life — the activities and proclivities that aren’t essential for your long-term success and happiness? I urge you to corral all the energy you give to those marginally important things, and instead pour it into what’s most important. Now is a crucial time in the evolution of your relationship with your primal fuels, your indispensable resources, your sustaining foundations.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

“When she spoke of beauty, he spoke of the fatty tissue supporting the epidermis,” wrote short story

author Robert Musil. He was describing a conversation between a man and woman who were on different wavelengths. “When she mentioned love,” Musil continued, “he responded with the statistical curve that indicates the rise and fall in the annual birthrate.”

Many of you Virgos have the flexibility to express yourself well on both of those wavelengths. But in the coming months, I hope you’ll emphasize the beauty and love wavelength rather than the fatty tissue and statistical curve wavelength. It’ll be an excellent strategy for getting the healing you need.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle was asked, “What is your signature perfume?” She said she hadn’t found one. But then she described how she would like to smell: “somewhere between fresh and earthy: cinnamon and honey, a rose garden, saltwater baked in the sun.” The coming days will be an excellent time to indulge in your own fantasies about the special fragrance you’d like to emanate. Moreover, I bet you’ll be energized by pinpointing a host of qualities you would like to serve as cornerstones of your identity: traits that embody and express your uniqueness.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Studies suggest that on average each of us has a social network of about 250 people, of whom 120 we regard as a closer group of friendly acquaintances.

But most of us have no more than twenty folks we trust, and only two or three whom we regard as confidants. I suspect that these numbers will be in flux for you during the next twelve months, Scorpio.

I bet you’ll make more new friends than usual, and will also expand your inner circle. On the other hand, I expect that some people who are now in your sphere will depart. Net result: stronger alliances and more collaboration.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

I blame and thank the Sagittarian part of me when I get brave and brazen enough to follow my strongest emotions where they want to lead me. I also blame and thank the Sagittarian part of me when I strip off my defense mechanisms and invite the world to regard my vulnerabilities as interesting and beautiful. I furthermore blame and thank the Sagittarian side of me on those occasions when I run three miles down the beach at dawn, hoping to thereby jolt loose the secrets I’ve been concealing from myself.

I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to blame and thank the Sagittarian part of you for similar experiences.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Persian polymath Avicenna (980–1037) wrote 450 books on many topics, including medicine, philosophy, astronomy, geography, mathematics, theology, and poetry. While young, he tried to study the Metaphysics of Aristotle, but had difficulty grasping it. Forty times he read the text, even committing it to memory. But he made little progress toward fathoming it. Years later, he was browsing at an outdoor market and found a brief, cheap book about the Metaphysics by an author named al-Farabi. He read it quickly, and for the first time understood Aristotle’s great work. He was so delighted he went out to the streets and gave away gifts to poor people. I foresee a comparable milestone for you, Capricorn: something that has eluded your comprehension will become clear, at least in part due to a lucky accident.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

In addition to being a key figure in Renaissance art, fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi had a

colorful life. According to legend, he was once held prisoner by Barbary pirates, but gained his freedom by drawing a riveting portrait of their leader. Inspired by the astrological factors affecting you right now, I’m fantasizing about the possibility of a liberating event arriving in your life. Maybe you’ll call on one of your skills in a dramatic way, thereby enhancing your leeway or generating a breakthrough or unleashing an opportunity. (Please also re-read your horoscope from last week.)

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

“Stand high long enough and your lightning will come,” writes Piscean novelist William Gibson. He isn’t suggesting that we literally stand on top of a treeless hill in a thunderstorm and invite the lightning to shoot down through us.

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.

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.
