OPINION Letters Pause, love, listen

I

t seems our nation and our world is going through some tumultuous times.

In these days when a Twitter or Facebook posting can result in instantaneous outrage — how do we allow for a pause? In these times when one’s fault or failure can be captured on YouTube (and elsewhere) and replayed again and again on endless loops . . . how do we allow for a pause? It’s clear that in our world demanding instantaneous responses (the more vulgar the better) we could all benefit from a pause.

So Pause Love Listen it occurs to me, once we place a label on one another a label other than brother or sister, we, to a certain extent, mis-know one another it occurs to me, when encountering another being if all I can see are their faults (faults as defined by me) I am blinding myself to that person as they actually are

it occurs to me, I have the option of adding to the hatred and division in our Nation and in our world today or doing my upmost to reflect the recognition that all human life is sacred, without exception or precondition or required viewpoint it occurs to me, I have much to learn about reality and yet I must face my today with much unlearned it occurs to me, I am blessed beyond what I can measure I am thankful for my faults, for I cannot imagine a better teacher I am thankful for family and friends, for I am not called to address life challenges on my own it occurs to me I have learned much in life by listening to others – including those I most disagree with So Pause Love Listen (all this division and hatred breaks my heart) John Sanders Jones Ventura

Seniors in mobile home parks My name is Ralph Trigo and I live in Lemon Wood Mobile Home Park for seniors.

I thought this would be affordable, but I was wrong. My rent has gone up about $100 a month plus another $46.50 a month added on to pay for capital expenses. This has been since we were bought out by Sun Communities in 2017.

They do not believe in maintenance, just capital improvements.

These added costs make it difficult for seniors on fixed incomes to pay. No one in this town seems to care. We tried to reach our council person for our ward, and no response.

The rent review board is a joke, as they might as well sleep through the meetings. Lastly, the city council does not pay attention to us.

Where do we go now?

Purple is the New Party

We still need heroes

by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com

C

inema, in many ways, is both a projection of our current ethos and a vessel to look at our past and where our future is going. In the 1950s the heroes were found in westerns. Lone gunmen traveling vast and empty dusty canvases in pursuit of evil doers.

In a post-Hitler world with the Cold War raging, Americans wanted to see men of valor.

Today, it’s the men and women birthed from comic books. So, when the film director icon Martin Scorsese came out belittling the Marvel films, what he seemed to miss is that these films aren’t popular because they’re easy to watch. It’s because in today’s world, they help everyday people deal with the problems we all face, because in fact, the problems are hard, and the solutions are few.

Scorsese recently wrote in a New York Times op-ed why he doesn’t see these films as equals to his films. “I said that I’ve tried to watch a few of them and that they’re not for

me, that they seem to me to be closer to theme parks than they are to movies as I’ve known and loved them throughout my life, and that in the end, I don’t think they’re cinema.”

The “theme park” analogy is a very condescending remark, and I believe a jab at Disney, who owns the majority of the Marvel properties. He went on to define what type of films are actual cinema to him.

“Cinema [is] about revelation — aesthetic, emotional and spiritual revelation. It was about characters — the complexity of people and their contradictory and sometimes paradoxical natures, the way they can hurt one another and love one another and suddenly come face to face with themselves.”

Scorsese primarily has made anti-hero films, whether it’s the unlikable loners of Taxi Driver or Raging Bull, the violent mobsters in Goodfellas or Casino, or the hustlers of The Color of Money or The Wolf of Wall Street. He is a great filmmaker, but his films tend to look at the darker underbelly of society, whereas the films he’s criticizing look to the stars for a

brighter day.

With so much tragedy flooding our society, whether it be natural disasters or school shootings, Americans need hope to survive.

Over the past decade one such cathartic experience to bring us that hope has been the superhero film. Marvel and DC Comics have provided us with a series of films where good triumphs over evil and all that was taken from us becomes restored in the end. Whether it’s Batman defeating the forces against Gotham City or the Avengers taking on Thanos, the most popular films of our modern era have been the superhero films.

Maybe this is because we don’t want to watch movies about sadness and loneliness anymore. Maybe we need heroes. Maybe people are speaking with their wallets saying, we don’t want to see anti-heroes; we want real heroes.

Since 2008 with both Iron Man and The Dark Knight, audiences seem to want to find order in the chaos. Not just chaos filmed in an orderly manner.

It is no coincidence that superhero films became popular after the George W. Bush presidency in 2008. In fact, it was President Barack Obama’s mantra of “hope and change” that resonated with people. When Iron Man saved the day and Batman took on the villains that summer, it was a cry for what we so desired: heroes.

Geoffrey Canada, a popular advocator for better public schools, talked about why we love superhero films in the documentary Waiting for “Superman”: “One of the saddest days of my life was when my mother told me Superman did not exist. I was like, ‘what do you mean he’s not real.’ And she thought I was crying because it’s like Santa Claus is not real and I was crying because there was no one coming with enough power to save us.”

Scorsese is right that we need other types of art to help us understand our world, but we also need films of that classic western aka American spirit; films that preach good versus evil, with the greatest twist in the all of cin♦ ema, that we will be saved in the end.

“I can change 25 lives”

In Brief

Nominate a person to receive a new car

County gets $16.7 million from fire settlement

by Kimberly Rivers krivers@timespublications.com

G

erardo “JR” Luna of Oxnard has a goal of positively changing the lives of 25 local people by giving them a car.

“If we can give a car away every year, and we’re in business for another 25 years, I can change 25 lives. That’s pretty impactful,” said Luna. He and his wife, Rita, own Concours Motors and Asian AutoTech in Ventura. This will be the third year they are seeking nominations from the community for a deserving person who could really use a dependable car. Luna and his team will give away a refurbished car to the selected person on Dec.7.

Luna started his Wheels-to-Shine program in 2017. He and his team purchased a 2000 Volkswagon Golf and in their spare time restored it to like-new condition. A team of volunteers from the community reviews all of the nominations and selects an outstanding person who is giving back to their community, and whose life would be made easier by a reliable vehicle.

The first winner, Marina Limon Porter, was nominated 25 times by Ventura residents. She is a hard-working mother who volunteers at multiple nonprofit organizations in the area. The car not only helped her in work as a local insurance agent, but in her volunteer work with Step Up Ventura, a local nonprofit organization that provides vital services to children up to five years old who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Luna’s team chose Limon Porter

because “of her tireless community outreach work. Giving her the car helped her give more, creating a trickle-down effect of good deeds,” said Luna.

In 2018 the team worked their magic on a 2000 Volkswagon Beetle, which was given to Cheyanne Dominguez. She only received one nomination, “but it was clear and compelling.” Dominguez’s father, Oscar, was killed, a victim of homicide, when she was just 20 years old. When her mother later became disabled, Dominguez became her caretaker. The car gave her the flexibility to get to classes and continue to pursue a career in government.

“Cheyenne dedicates a tremendous amount of time helping others. She is a leader at her church’s youth group on Tuesday nights,” Luna said. She mentors middle school and high school girls and serves the homeless meals she helps prepare at Catholic Charities on Ventura Avenue. Last year she was part of a team that raised money to travel to Uganda to distribute handmade reusable feminine hygiene products to girls and young women.

This year the Concours Motors team has refurbished a 2004 Mercedes-Benz donated by one of their customers. “We are looking for an exceptional person who will use the car to change their lives and improve their community,” said Luna.

The car will be awarded on Dec. 7, so get your nominations in now at: wheels♦ toshine.org/nominate/

Kindness Corner Cat missing for seven years reunited with owner

by Kimberly Rivers krivers@timespublications.com

S

even years ago on May 30, 2012, a wellloved tabby cat named Chebon went missing from the Anchors Away Marina, today called the Ventura Harbor Marina and Yacht Yard. His person at the time, Robert Wilson, was distraught at losing his cat that he had gotten as a kitten. Wilson had been preparing to move to Ohio to be closer to family and delayed that move for over a year in hopes that he would find Chebon. He didn’t and eventually moved to Ohio.

Then on Nov. 3, 2019, Genevieve Dillon found a skinny tabby cat along Ventura Avenue. “He was almost ready to die,” said Dillon. She cared for the cat for a week, and took him to a veterinarian for a checkup.

Discovering the cat’s microchip, they were able to contact the owner — who turned out to be Wilson. He was “shocked and in tears,” said Dillon.

The cat had been missing for seven years and was now 19 years old.

“It’s just wonderful,” said Wilson about reuniting with Chebon. He made immediate arrangements to fly to California and was sitting with the cat on Nov. 18 after a joyful reunion at Ventura County Animal Services.

6—

— November 21, 2019

Robert Wilson hugs his cat Chebon, reunited after seven years.

Wilson says that Chebon is fairly underweight and hopes special food will help get him healthy so that they can have many more years together.

“I’ve had his picture on my nightstand all these years,” said Wilson. He’s visited the area once or twice a year since 2012 and he drives past the harbor where Chebon first went missing.

“Who knows where this cat’s been for seven years wandering the streets of Ventura,” said Dillon, writing to the VCReporter via email. “I stop for any animal or child that looks out of place. It’s difficult for me to turn away . . . look at what has transpired by just being kind to one frail little animal.”

Twenty-three municipalities and special districts will split $360 million per a settlement agreement brokered with Southern California Edison for the company’s part in starting the Thomas and Woolsey fires, and for the Montecito mudslides.

The agreement, reached during mediation sessions held in Los Angeles, includes the city of Ventura, Ventura County, Ventura County Watershed Protection District, Ventura County Fire Protection District, city of Thousand Oaks, Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District, Conejo Recreation and Park District and Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency.

Ventura County will receive $20.8 million, and after attorney fees will keep $16.7 million to cover expenses associated with fire impacts.

The settlement does not apply to individuals involved in separate legal action.

The cities, counties and special districts were represented by the firms in co-counsel Baron and Budd and Dixon, Diab and Chambers.

Ventura High student with heart condition dies on field trip On Thursday, Nov. 14, Carlos Cohen, principal at Ventura High School, released a statement to school families reporting that 12th grader Antonio Calderon “collapsed during school hours,” and later died at the hospital. It was then reported the class was on a field trip at the Ventura Botanical Gardens. The family informed school district officials that Calderon had a serious heart condition that likely led to his death.

The school is providing access to counselors and psychologists on campus for students who may need help and support. The family has set up a fundraising page to help cover funeral expenses: https://www.gofundme.com/f/nfjqfqraising-money-for-my-brothers-funeral

Ventura Land Trust achieves accreditation After a two-year review process the Land Trust Accreditation Commission has awarded the seal of accreditation to the Ventura Land Trust. The approval process involves an investigation of the organization’s programs and finances in order to ensure strong ethical practices, conservation permanence and an adherence to national bestpractice standards, all with a focus on public trust and accountability.

The Ventura Land Trust and Ojai Valley Land Conservancy are the only two organizations within 25 miles of Ventura to receive this accreditation.

NASA maps methane plumes in county Seven methane plumes have been detected at various sites in Ventura County during a two-year project conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Association’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the California Energy Commission. The data has recently been released in an online interactive map available to the public.

Plumes detected in Ventura County include the Toland Landfill, an oil field location in the Ventura Oil Field and South Mountain in Santa Paula. The methane is detected by an Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer – Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) mounted on a plane, which was flown in certain areas across California, including Ventura County.

Andrew Thorpe, technologist (AV-NG methane flight planning) with the AVIRIS-NG Team at JPL emphasized that the plumes are “snap shots” of a single moment. Sometimes the plumes are only detected once, whereas in other areas they were more persistent. In addition to the methane plumes, the map also shows known emittors, such as the Simi Valley Landfill, based on data reported to CalRecycle.

According to JPL officials, the goal of the project is to identify the major methane emittors across the state so that emissions can be reduced in order for the state to achieve its goals in combating climate change.

$5 million to fund CSUCI early childhood education center The state of California has awarded California State University Channel Islands with $5 million for the building and development of a teaching and learning lab focused on improving access to early childhood education. The center will serve childcare needs for local farmworker families and students at CSUCI while also supporting professional development of educators in the region.

Amendments to injunctions ensure due process when fighting gang violence Ventura County Superior Court has approved language modifications to gang injunction laws requested by the Oxnard Police Department and the Ventura County District Attorney, thus ensuring that the process of enforcing those laws does not violate due process rights of individuals subject to the imposed restrictions.

Gang injunction laws name known gang members and subject those individuals to various restrictions, such as prohibiting them from associating with other known gang members or possessing firearms. Erin Meister, Senior Deputy District Attorney with the Ventura County District Attorney’s office, said that in the fall of 2017, her office and the Oxnard Police Department “suspended the enforcement” of the existing gang injunction laws because of court decisions that found aspects of the injunctions violated the individual’s “right to due process.”

Meister explained that the approved amendments now require a court hearing, called a “depravation hearing,” in order for a person to be subject to the restrictions. “Now they have an opportunity to be heard before a judge,” said Meister.

Previously police officers identified and added gang members to the list of people subject to the injunctions. The amendments require judicial approval for a person to be subject to the injunction laws..

Weather Service office in Oxnard. “There’s a domino effect that happens with longer fire seasons.” As moisture is transpired by plants out of the soil, he explained, the ability of the land to cool lessens, amplifying the heating.

For Devon Davis, an amateur meteorologist based in Camarillo who mans the

Barbara County, killing one county resident and a firefighter, totaling over $2 billion in property damages and costing over $200 million to fight.

In November 2018, during a “red flag” wind event, the Woolsey Fire burned from the Santa Susanna Mountains above Simi Valley all the way to the ocean, killing three people in Malibu, destroying over 1,000 homes and forcing the evacuation of well over 200,000 people.

On Oct. 30 of this year, an “extreme red flag warning” wind event drove the Easy Fire from the Simi Valley mountains toward the Ronald Reagan Library. Two days later, high winds drove the Maria Fire from an overlooking ridge down toward Santa Paula, Somis and Saticoy.

Ventura County’s climate is changing. To better understand what it will look like in the near future, two researchers for the Desert Research Institute (DRI), under a grant administered by the Ojai

temperatures will heighten the risk of wildfire.

“Wildfire season will likely extend earlier into the spring and early summer and later into the fall and early winter,” states the executive summary, “due to drying in these seasons, increased temperature, and greater evaporative demand.”

All of those conditions were on hand when the Thomas Fire broke out in December of 2017. Winds as fast as 60 mph were recorded in the local mountains. Because the county had seen below-average rainfall for most of the decade, levels of fuel moisture in hillside plants were extremely low — less than 10 percent. The average temperature in the county was nearly 8 degrees above normal for the entire month of December [See graphic, “South Coast (Climate Region)”].

“Already our wildfire season extends earlier in the spring and later into the fall,” said Mark Jackson, meteorologist in charge of the National

@805weather Twitter feed focused on Ventura County, the first result that stood out from the DRI study was “an increase in drying winds associated with Santa Ana wind events.”

He noted the Thomas Fire as an example of such a winddriven fire.

“The fact is that now there’s an increased likelihood of wind-driven wildfires,” he said.

“The study is kind of a realtime look into the near future.”

More Fire, Hotter Temperatures Heat waves will also become more common and much more extreme in the years 2021-40 in Ventura County. The average temperature in the county will increase by “at least 3-5 degrees Fahrenheit” in the next 20 years in inland and elevated areas of the county, such as Ojai, Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley. Coastal areas such as Ventura and Oxnard will see average annual temperatures increase by “at least 2-3 degrees.”

VCREPORTER.COM

Lead author Ben Hatchett warns that although temperatures along the coast will still be cooler than inland areas at higher elevations, the additional warming may surprise coastal residents.

“If you live in Ventura, you know that it’s rare that temperatures hit 90 degrees,” Hatchett said. “But whatever the hottest temperature you have experienced in Ventura, this study says that you will have about two more weeks of that kind of heat annually in Ventura. People without air conditioning may feel like they’re getting cooked with an extra week or two of extremely hot temperatures.”

Brian Brennan, former member of the Ventura City Council who now serves on the executive board of the Casitas Municipal Water District, recalls the heat wave of July 6, 2018, when temperatures reached as high as 117 in Ojai, scorching fruiting avocado branches around the county.

“It was 97 degrees at 9:30 that night,” Brennan recalled. “We’re not equipped with air conditioning.

I said: I’m going to sleep on the beach tonight.”

Mark Jackson, the meteorologist, said that this study fits well with the larger studies he’s seen on a changing climate.

“Global temperatures have increased by about two degrees in the last fifty years,” he said. “That’s an average. But what really has to be driven home to people is that it’s not the average temperature increase that matters most. People may hear that it’ll increase three degrees in the next 50 years, and they imagine that means the temperature goes from 75 to 78.

But that’s not how it works. It’s the increase in the extremes — hot days and warm nights — that matters.

It’s the increase in the number of heat waves, and the number of droughts.”

Heat waves in Southern California have been on the rise, but vary greatly year to year.

By contrast, the minimum daily temperatures in the county have been increasing slowly but steadily as the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere accumulate.

That’s no coincidence, Hatchett said.

“Greenhouse gases prevent radiation [in the form of heat] from escaping,” he said. “At night time we should be losing energy to space. With more water vapor and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the outgoing longwave radiation is trapped.”

Hot temperatures at night are substantially new to Southern California, as both the DRI report and other studies show. Before 1970, night time heat waves in California

were almost unheard of. In recent years, they have become more common than daytime heat waves.

(See chart, “Statewide trends in heat waves.”)

“The greatest increase in the total number of daytime and nighttime extreme heat events occurred in Southern California,” according to the 2018 California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, “Indicators of Climate Change in California.” “For most regions, the rate of increase in the number of extreme heat nights was twice that of the rate of increase in extreme heat days.”

Consequences of Extreme Heat “This is the challenge we face,” said Jackson. “People can see tornadoes and hurricanes. But this warming is happening slowly, so we don’t realize the risk.”

Bill Patzert, a climatologist long associated with the NASA-affiliated Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, puts it more bluntly.

“Of all the natural disasters, by far the most deadly are heat waves.

In 2003, a heat wave hit southern Europe. Mostly the climate there is moderate, and people didn’t have air conditioning, or if they did have it they were old and couldn’t afford to turn it on,” he said. “About 70,000 people died. Look it up if you don’t believe me. It’s an urban phenomenon, rather than a rural thing, because of the urban heat island effect.”

Statistics from California also verify his statement. In 2006 a July heat wave enveloped virtually the entire state of California, and in terms of human health caused far more destruction than the Northridge earthquake of 1994, the Loma Prieta earthquake of l989, the North Bay Fires of 2017 or even the Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise, the deadliest fire in state history.

None of those disasters killed 100 people. The now-forgotten 2006 heat wave, however, killed more than 600 people, resulted in over 16,000 visits to the ER and 1,200 hospitalizations, and cost over $5 billion, according to the public health chapter of California’s fourth climate assessment.

The National Weather Service has found that ER visits increase above 95 degrees, and that temperatures above 104 lead to an “exponential increase” in the risk of mortality.

Outdoor workers and farmworkers are especially at risk from climate change. Lucas Zucker, a policy advocate with CAUSE, the Central Coast Alliance for a

Sustainable Economy, said that the state of California had put in protections for farmworkers working in temperatures above 95 degrees, such as requiring breaks every two hours, with cool water and shade. His organization appreciates these efforts, but thinks county officials could do more to enforce the regulations.

“Too often with climate change the focus is on celebrities in places like Malibu, and what we’re going to do when their beachfront homes are underwater,” he said. “Those celebrities might have to relocate inland, but they’re going to be fine.

It’s harder for people to wrap their heads around the vulnerability of farmworkers. They’re not only on the front lines of climate change through their livelihoods, but also because they don’t have the economic power to survive extended layoffs we’ve seen due to drought or heat waves or storms, or even smoke from wildfires.”

What About Rain?

The study noted the recordbreaking drought this decade, but did not find in the modeling a clear indication that the county would see either more or less rain in the next 20 years. But with more heat and about 10 percent more evapotranspiration from plants in the county, the report warned of increased susceptibility to drought.

Patzert, who has done his own trend analysis of precipitation in the state, finding little change in the amount of rain and snow over the last century, questioned the usefulness of a county analysis that didn’t look at aquifer levels.

“The draining of the aquifers in the county is a hundred times more important than finding out if we have a trend of an inch or two less in rainfall,” he said. “Southern California imports 70 percent of its water. Who cares what the trend in precipitation is this year in the county? It’s the wrong question.”

About three out of four people in Ventura County rely on state water imported from Northern California, distributed through the Calleguas Municipal Water District headquartered in Thousand Oaks.

But West County, including the Ojai Valley and West Ventura, still depends on local rainfall, which is collected in aquifers and at the Casitas reservoir, and managed by

the Casitas board of directors.

Newly elected member of the board Brian Brennan said that Casitas is investigating several options for new sources of water, including drilling deep into aquifers, and looking into a connection to the state water project along the coast near Carpinteria.

“Around the state this year, water districts were practically paying people to take their water, dumping it out of reservoirs [to make room for spring run-off],” he said. “We have excess storage capacity at Lake Casitas. We need to take advantage of those times such as with atmospheric rivers when we’re getting a lot of rain.”

“Climate Emergency” Some of the hottest temperatures recorded in Ventura County have been recorded in Ojai.

Environmental leaders were alarmed by news from the county climate report that inland areas such as Ojai will likely experience an additional 20 days a year of extremely hot temperatures.

Melanie Larkins, the executive director of the Ojai Valley Green Coalition (OVGC), saw the report presented at a workshop at the county government center in February.

“To have climatologists present real numbers backed by science for our valley and our area, and see where we are headed, it was a little shocking to me,” she said. ‘To be honest it was pretty bleak.”

Members of the OVGC worked with Ojai City Council, which by a split vote approved the declaration of a “climate emergency” for the town on July 22. This is intended to encourage actions to reduce emissions and conserve water.

Will these sort of changes be enough?

“This is not global warming anymore,” warned Patzert. “This is global heating.” ♦ “Projected Changes in Ventura County Climate”: wrcc.dri.edu/ Climate/reports.php “Indicators of Climate Change in California”: oehha.ca.gov/climatechange/report/2018-report-indicators-climate-change-california Central Coast Alliance United for A Sustainable Economy (CAUSE): causenow.org Ojai Valley Green Coalition: ojaivalleygreencoalition.org

istory repeats itself. That’s true, but maybe even truer is that people remain the same.

We are as capable now as we’ve always been of incredible acts of courage, just as we’ve always possessed the ability to be cruel.

Fuenteovejuna, onstage through Nov. 24 at California Lutheran University’s Black Box Theatre, shows us just how true that is. Written in 1614 by the Spanish playwright Lope Félix de Vega y Carpio and translated by Curt Columbus, Fuenteovejuna is based on a true story about the people of a small town who band together to take down a brutal ruler.

The year was 1476 and the citizens of Fuenteovejuna were under the rule of Fernán Gómez, a Commander of the Knights of Calatrava.

Gómez committed acts of terrible cruelty, especially against the town’s women. After one particularly heinous attack (which, thankfully, is only alluded to onstage), the women led the men in a revolt that ended in Gómez’s murder. When news of the assassination reached King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, the royals sent an inspector to interrogate the people of Fuenteovejuna to find the killer. The residents never wavered in their story, not even after being tortured.

One by one, their response was a

defiant,“Fuenteovejuna did it.” (The production’s use of audio to convey the townspeople’s resounding courage is extremely effective.)

The cast, made up of Cal Lutheran students, does a wonderful job of capturing the passion and the spirit of the play. Their appreciation of the work’s continued (some might even say renewed) relevance is felt in every scene, making the production all the more powerful.

Arndt brings out the best in the young actors. Standouts include Katarina Lopez, who is wonderful as Laurencia, the woman who leads the revolt. Sacaiah Stan Shaw breathes life into the character of Frondoso, Laurencia’s beloved. Blake Elder is very effective as Mengo, the most unlikely of heroes. Maya de la Torre possesses an endearing soulfulness as Laurencia’s best friend. Will Peña strikes a confident tone as Gómez, and Bridget De Maria gives a memorable performance as Jacinta.

Rounding out the cast is Clayton Currie, Mikey Moss, Garrett James Wyatt, Eugenio Frew, Waqar Ahmed, Simon Pike, Zach Hessemer, Jacob White, Diego Neira, Olivia Zonni, Rebecca Graham, El Caris Camarillo and Xavier F. Reynoso. The delightful ensemble includes Joey Grimaldi, Austin Tapola, Emmalee Villafana, Bianca Akbiyik, Georgia Caines and Arianna Velazquez.

Scenic designer Andrea Heilman

and space designer Josh Clabaugh transformed the black box theater into a town square, with the audience seated on three sides and two levels around the staging area. The result gives one the profound feeling that the audience is part of the action. The authentic costumes, hair and makeup are the work of Noelle Raffy. Moments of both levity and drama are heightened by the nuanced work of lighting designer Peter W. Mitchell and assistant lighting designer Morgan Holady.

Composer Christopher Hoag and composer/guitarist Aaron Medina provide a soundtrack. The rest of the talented crew includes properties master T. Theresa Scarano, fight choreographer Jason D. Rennie and dance choreographer El Caris Camarillo.

Fuenteovejuna is well worth your time, not only because it is a fine production, but because it celebrates the power of the common man and woman, even in the darkest of times. And sometimes, we need to be reminded of that. ♦ Fuenteovejuna through Nov. 24 at California Lutheran University, 60 W. Olsen Road, #7800, Thousand Oaks.

SPACE HEADS

by Chris O’Neal

chrisonealuk@gmail.com Commander Angel Nova and Leftenent AR7, vocalists and guitarists for the Oaklandbased punk band The Phenomenauts, live, breathe and thrive on science and the wild world it inspires. From humble beginnings in a decked-out $60 beat-up car decorated to resemble a space ship to drawing the attention of famed astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the Phenomenauts have carved out a unique niche for themselves in this space we all share.

Angel and AR7, along with fellow space travelers Major Jimmy Boom (drums), Lunar Captain Ripley-Clipse (synth/keys) and Chief Engineer Atom Bomb (bass), will perform at Rock City Studios in Camarillo on Friday, Nov. 22 and at the 10th Annual Nardcore Turkey Toilet Bowl in Simi Valley on Saturday, Nov. 23.

Nova and AR7 spoke with the VCReporter from their Command Center in Oakland.

VCReporter: Where did the Phenomenauts begin their journey?

Nova: I had to pick up a friend at the airport, so I bought a car for about $60 and it ran great but it looked terrible, so I glued a bunch of stuff on it and it looked like a space ship.

When I started getting attention, I thought, “If I had a band, I could use this as a billboard.”

So we formed a space-themed band. We were really into science, so it’s funny how it kind of started with the car.

AR7: Has the car been officially retired?

Angel: The car has been retired in the last couple of weeks.

How did you all meet?

Nova: Myself and Jimmy Boom are the only original members and then

everyone else, we met Atom, he was playing with a different band at the time...

AR7: Well, you built me.

Angel: Of course.

AR7: Because I’m a robot. I was built in 2008.

How did your friends react to the concept?

Nova: They were excited about it. We actually started playing on the street and called it Space Patrol, the original name of the band. We were doing interesting covers of new wave songs or ’80s stuff. We did a Billy Idol song that was kind of polka. That was kind of how it started. We were so happy with how we had rearranged all the songs that we wanted to record it; we didn’t want to lose it. In the process of recording it we decided to become a real band and not just a streetperformer band in the amazing year 2000.

Phenomenauts talk science and rock ’n’ roll ahead of two Ventura County shows

wanted to play so we played. We squeezed in to one side of the bar and Jimmy Boom just mounted his snare drum on top of the kick drum and had the hi-hat on the inside of the bar and the rest on the outside of the bar. We put our keyboard on top of the bar and stood in a row, the five of us, and played. Angel got on top of the bar and walked around. It was a full show with 20 people there and us.

Nova: One of the funnier moments was, I was standing on the bar and I saw a tip jar and out of appreciation for the guy putting on the show I dropped a tip into the jar and everyone started laughing. I found out later it was written in German “tips for the band.”

and promoting science. Our motto is “science and honor.” We’ve done a lot of events and shows in the past that are actually related to science and sci-fi and have played at science museums, the March for Science, World Skeptic’s Day, etc.

How does the sound fit into this punkspacey, rock ’n’ roll theme?

How should someone prepare for your show?

AR7: There’s been sci-fi references in rock and roll since the beginning. Some of our big influences like David Bowie and Devo and artists like that have science fiction and science at their core.

Nova: There’s a hopefulness in it, too.

If you’re imagining a spacey future, you’re imagining humanity didn’t kill itself. Imagining what can be and what could be is a hopefulness. It’s such an important time to promote science, which is under represented, especially in this country’s politics right now.

AR7: One of our big focuses is on science

Nova: Dress spacey. Be ready to have fun.

It’s really fun to participate, there’s a lot of singalong stuff.

AR7: There’s a lot of crowd participation.

We have a modified leaf blower that blows rolls of toilet paper on to the audience. It’s called the Streamerator 3000. You’re going to have an amazing time if you participate with everybody. ♦

— Commander Angel Nova

You guys followed Warped Tour around, have played pop-up shows out of nowhere. You have a guerrilla way of marketing music. What has been your favorite outside-the-box performance?

Why is promoting science important for you?

Nova: Science is just the search for truth.

There’s no agenda. If the science is wrong, science wants to know it’s wrong. It’s so important that people think scientifically and don’t just believe whatever, especially now with all the nonsense like Trump just lies constantly, now that there’s no shame in politics — in the U.S. at least. You need to find out what’s true and what’s not and science is the best way to find out what’s true and what’s not.

The Phenomenauts will perform on Friday, Nov. 22, 7-11 p.m. at Rock City Studios, 2258 Pickwick Drive, Camarillo. $12-15. For more information, call 805-383-3555 or visit www. rockcitystudios.net. The band will also perform at the Nardcore Turkey Toilet Bowl on Friday, Nov. 23, at Harley’s Valley Bowl, 5255 Cochran St., Simi Valley.

ADVICE GODDESS

by amy alkon can pick it up: “Free sofa!* *Except for that hussy Linda and her nasty sisters.”

It is cruel to take up with a guy who’s just dumped and devastated a friend of yours. But this woman is your ex-friend, and it isn’t like she’s lying in the dark, weeping over a sock he left at her place. In fact, they were engaged 25 years ago, and she dumped him.Yet, here you are, having “girl code” invoked on you.

“Girl code,” like “guy code,” is a deterrent to would-be mate poachers, powered by peer pressure. However, girl code tends to play out differently from guy code.

Psychologist Joyce B e n e n s o n , wh o researches evolved sex differences, finds that males, from early childhood on, are verbally and physically direct with one another in a way girls and women are not: “Bro, that’s my girlfriend you just dissed.

You’re gonna need directions to the ER.” Women, on the other hand, are covert competitors, undermining rather than openly attacking their female rivals. Benenson and other researchers believe this strategy evolved so women could avoid physical violence, which could harm their reproductive parts or leave them incapable of fulfilling their role as their children’s primary caretaker.

Women instead use sabotaging tactics like informational warfare — the threat of reputation-destroying gossip — and social exclusion.

Referencing “girl code” is part of this, revving up a woman’s fears of being ostracized and creating a virtual moat around a man.

Unlike in the male world of “Fight Club,” where the rules are clear — ”The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club” — the rules of girl code are nebulous, unspoken. Because women compete

replace the kitchen sponge.

Driving Miss Crazy I’m a 32-year-old woman, and I went on one date with a guy I’d been talking to online. We have texted some since our date but haven’t made solid plans to hang again. Basically, he’ll text me and we’ll chat, and then I won’t hear from him for a week. The waiting is making me really obsessive. I find myself constantly wanting to text him. I know I shouldn’t chase him, but the urge is so strong. What’s going on?

— Disturbed

Girl code,” like “guy code,” is a deterrent to would-be mate poachers, powered by peer pressure.

Vicious Recycle I’ve started dating a guy that an estranged friend of mine was engaged to and dumped 25 years ago.

She completely broke his heart. She’s been engaged eight times, married five, so I hardly think he was special.

But some of my girlfriends think it’s not cool and say I’m breaking “girl code.” Am I betraying her?

— In A Quandary When you put your old couch out on the curb, you don’t get to make a bunch of restrictions about who

in sneaky and undermining ways, this nebulousness makes potential transgressions of girl code more dangerous and powerful.

So in deciding whether to continue with this guy, you should understand that there could be real costs for you for being thought to have violated girl code. Can you weather those costs? Is it worth it to continue with this guy?

Focus not on what’s fair but on what’s realistic. Some women will talk trash about you — and never mind the fact that the guy was dumped decades ago by a woman who swaps out her husbands more often than most of us

Sometimes, when two people get engaged, the intended groom is the last to know. The guy asks you, “So, whatcha up to Saturday? Wanna grab a coffee?” And you’re like, “I thought we’d have an afternoon wedding. But coffee’s fine, too.”

It should help to understand that this sort of crazy — the intense desire to text him — doesn’t come out of some magical, vine-covered mental love fountain within you. In fact, there’s nothing romantic about it.

It’s just the mechanics of our human motivational system, which works like a machine. Russian psychologist

and psychiatrist Bluma Zeigarnik discovered that just as pressure in a machine builds up and needs to be released, tasks we’ve left incomplete seem to cause emotional tension — seriously uncomfortable feelings, a sort of mental itching. This motivates us to do the thing we’ve left undone so we can stop feeling so unsettled.

So, sure, you like the guy, but one date in, you’re dying to text him not because he’s “the one” but because you’re suffering through what I like to describe as the emotional version of a really bad need to pee. Reminding yourself that it’s just psychological hydraulics might help you weather the discomfort of not texting and then be all cool when the guy eventually calls: “Jason? Jason who? ...

Oh, right! Heyyy! Hold on a sec,” you say, as you descend the ladder and put down the glue roller you’ve been using to wallpaper your bedroom ceiling with huge blown-up photos of his face.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Humans invented the plow in 4,500 BC, the wheel in 4,000 BC, and writing in 3,400 BC. But long before that, by 6,000 BC, they had learned how to brew beer and make psychoactive drugs from plants.

Psychopharmacologist Ronald Siegel points to this evidence to support his hypothesis that the yearning to transform our normal waking consciousness is a basic drive akin to our need to eat and drink. Of course, there are many ways to accomplish this shift besides alcohol and drugs. They include dancing, singing, praying, drumming, meditating and having sex. What are your favorite modes? According to my astrological analysis, it’ll be extra important for you to alter your habitual perceptions and thinking patterns during the coming weeks.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

What’s something you’re afraid of, but pretty confident you could become unafraid of? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dismantle or dissolve that fear. Your levels of courage will be higher than usual, and your imagination will be unusually ingenious in devising methods and actions to free you of the unnecessary burden. Step one: Formulate an image or scene that symbolizes the dread, and visualize yourself blowing it up with a “bomb” made of a hundred roses.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

The word “enantiodromia” refers to a phenomenon that occurs when a vivid form of expression turns into its opposite, often in dramatic fashion. Yang becomes yin; resistance transforms into welcome; loss morphs into gain. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Geminis are the sign of the zodiac that’s most likely to experience enantiodromia in the coming weeks. Will it be a good thing

by rob brezsny

or a bad thing? You can have a lot of influence over how that question resolves. For best results, don’t fear or demonize contradictions and paradoxes.

Love and embrace them.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

There are Americans who speak only one language, English, and yet imagine they are smarter than bilingual immigrants. That fact amazes me, and inspires me to advise me and all my fellow Cancerians to engage in humble reflection about how we judge our fellow humans. Now is a favorable time for us to take inventory of any inclinations we might have to regard ourselves as superior to others; to question why we might imagine others aren’t as worthy of love and respect as we are; or to be skeptical of any tendency we might have dismiss and devalue those who don’t act and think as we do. I’m not saying we Cancerians are more guilty of these sins than everyone else; I’m merely letting you know that the coming weeks are our special time to make corrections.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“Erotic love is one of the highest forms of contemplation,” wrote the sensually wise poet Kenneth Rexroth. That’s a provocative and profitable inspiration for you to tap into. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in the Season of Lucky Plucky Delight, when brave love can save you from wrong turns and irrelevant ideas; when the grandeur of amour can be your teacher and catalyst. If you have a partner with whom you can conduct these educational experiments, wonderful. If you don’t, be extra sweet and intimate with yourself.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

In the follow-up story to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, our heroine uses a magic mirror as a portal

into a fantastical land. There she encounters the Red Queen, and soon the two of them are holding hands as they run as fast as they can. Alice notices that despite their great effort, they don’t seem to be moving forward. What’s happening? The Queen clears up the mystery: In her realm, you must run as hard as possible just to remain in the same spot.

Sound familiar, Virgo? I’m wondering whether you’ve had a similar experience lately. If so, here’s my advice: Stop running. Sit back, relax, and allow the world to zoom by you. Yes, you might temporarily fall behind. But in the meantime, you’ll get fully recharged. No more than three weeks from now, you’ll be so energized that you’ll make up for all the lost time—and more.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Most sane people wish there could be less animosity between groups that have different beliefs and interests. How much better the world would be if everyone felt a generous acceptance toward those who are unlike them. But the problem goes even deeper: Most of us are at odds with ourselves.

Here’s how author Rebecca West described it: Even the different parts of the same person do not often converse among themselves, do not succeed in learning from each other. That’s the bad news, Libra.

The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to promote unity and harmony among all the various parts of yourself. I urge you to entice them to enter into earnest conversations with each other!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Poet Cecilia Woloch asks, “How to un-want what the body has wanted, explain how the flesh in its wisdom was wrong?” Did the apparent error occur because of some “some ghost in the mind?” she adds. Was it due to “some blue chemical rushing

the blood” or “some demon or god”? I’m sure that you, like most of us, have experienced this mystery.

But the good news is that in the coming weeks you will have the power to un-want inappropriate or unhealthy experiences that your body has wanted.

Step one: Have a talk with yourself about why the thing your body has wanted isn’t in alignment with your highest good.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Sagittarian composer Ludwig van Beethoven was inclined to get deeply absorbed in his work. Even when he took time to attend to the details of daily necessity, he allowed himself to be spontaneously responsive to compelling musical inspirations that suddenly welled up in him. On more than a few occasions, he lathered his face with the nineteenthcentury equivalent of shaving cream, then got waylaid by a burst of brilliance and forgot to actually shave. His servants found that amusing. I suspect that the coming weeks may be Beethoven-like for you, Sagittarius. I bet you’ll be surprised by worthy fascinations and subject to impromptu illuminations.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

During the next eleven months, you could initiate fundamental improvements in the way you live from day to day. It’s conceivable you’ll discover or generate innovations that permanently raise your life’s possibilities to a higher octave. At the risk of sounding grandiose, I’m tempted to predict that you’ll celebrate at least one improvement that is your personal equivalent of the invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history. Philosopher Georg

Hegel said that. But I think you will have an excellent chance to disprove this theory in the coming months. I suspect you will be inclined and motivated to study your own past in detail; you’ll be skilled at drawing useful lessons from it; and you will apply those lessons with wise panache as you re-route your destiny.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

In his own time, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) was acclaimed and beloved. At the height of his fame, he earned $3,000 per poem.

But modern literary critics think that most of what he created is derivative, sentimental, and unworthy of serious appreciation. In dramatic contrast is poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). Her writing was virtually unknown in her lifetime, but is now regarded as among the best ever. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to sort through your own past so as to determine which of your work, like Longfellow’s, should be archived as unimportant or irrelevant, and which, like Dickinson’s, deserves to be a continuing inspiration as you glide into the future.

And while Sandbox does indeed offer an extensive coffee menu, complete with drip, espresso and even French press options (plus chai tea, steamers and apple cider), there’s more than just coffee here.

I wandered in on a sunny, breezy afternoon looking for a quiet spot for lunch. The groovy tunes, ample seating (tables, couches, reading chairs and a long counter facing the window) and unpretentious atmosphere all appealed to me, and I found myself taking a seat at the counter.

and gluten-free options. If you’re craving pancakes or a burger, you should look elsewhere. But for a nutritious and delicious breakfast or lunch? Sandbox is a fantastic choice.

Sandwiches run the usual gamut — turkey, salmon, ham, tuna and even peanut butter and jelly. For this visit, I ordered a vegetable sandwich, with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cucumber, sprouts, red onion and Muenster cheese.

The vegetables were sliced thin and piled just high enough to make a nice, filling sandwich that was still manageable to handle and eat. I appreciated the wholegrain, seeded bread, too. On the side: sliced raw carrots dusted with a little seasoning. I might have preferred potato chips, but carrots were definitely a healthier choice. All in all, it made for a tasty combination that was good for me, too — so much so that I felt I had “earned” a brownie from the bakery case for dessert.

A friend mentioned how much he liked the granola bowls, so I returned to Sandbox for breakfast the following week. To drink: a vanilla latte with oat milk (cow, almond and coconut milk are also available) which was, like my sandwich, basic but well done. For sustenance, I went with the Sandbox Bowl, which proved to be a true standout. Frozen açaí berries were blended with just a little iced coffee to make a thick, fruity, frosty slurry. This was topped with everything but the kitchen sink: a wonderful vanilla hemp granola, fresh blueberries, sliced bananas, shaved coconut, macadamia nuts, peaches and even Goji berries. A touch of maple syrup added just a bit of sweetness. Beautiful to look at, delicious to eat and packed with fiber and nutrients. A minor quibble: The açaí blend was so icy that it made my teeth ache. Nevertheless, I left Sandbox Coffeehouse well caffeinated and pleasantly full, ready to take on the day.

With tasty food, a comfortable and accommodating atmosphere and even live music on the weekends (plus a pizza oven on the way in 2020!), this local cafe clearly has more to offer than just coffee. I’ll happily dig around in this Sandbox again — and know, as I do so, that I’m feeding both body and soul something genuinely healthy.

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.

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.

PUBLISHED: Ventura 11/21/19, 11/27/19 and 12/5/19./26084 NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF RICHARD FRALEY JR., DECEDENT Case No: 56-2019-00535129PR-LA-OXN To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate,

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 12/11/2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.

J6. Address of court: Superior Court of California, County of Ventura, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Complex / Probate Court.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
