NEWS Ventura considering water rate increase City council votes on March 22 by Kimberly Rivers

kimberly@vcreporter.com

n Jan. 26 the Water Commission for the city of Ventura voted unanimously to recommend to the Ventura City Council that a 7% annual increase in water rates be adopted for the next five years. The city council will vote on the recommendation on March 22. The commission also recommended a 6% annual increase for wastewater service, also for each of the next five years. City staff estimate the rate increases will result in a monthly bill increase of $7.75 for the average homeowner for each of the next five years. “It has been nearly three years since Ventura Water has increased rates. As a result, Ventura’s water and wastewater rates have remained relatively low compared to our neighboring communities,” said Susan Rungren, general manager with Ventura Water. “Ventura must continually invest in our water and wastewater systems to ensure safe and reliable services.” In order to ensure that the city has sufficient revenue to operate and maintain existing water delivery and wastewater systems and to invest in future projects, the Water Commission with the support of city staff and consultants conducted a rate study, which evaluated water rate tiers, water shortage rates, wastewater rate structure

and financing options for large projects, including the State Water Interconnection project and the VenturaWaterPure project. Akbar Alikhan, assistant city manager for Ventura, said in order to “secure future water supply, replace and repair aging infrastructure, improve water quality and meet legal and environmental regulations . . . responsible investments are needed now.” The recommendation includes a provision that after the first year the rate increases are reviewed each spring to re-authorize the increase for each July. If the council adopts the recommendations, the rate increases go into effect July 2021. Ventura Water staff will be attending the following community meetings to share information and impacts about the rate increases: Feb. 11, 7 p.m., Midtown Ventura Community Council; Feb. 16, 7 p.m., Pierpont Bay Community Council; Feb. 18, 7 p.m., East Ventura Community Council; Feb. 19, 8 a.m., Ventura Chamber of Commerce Breakfast; Feb. 24, 7 p.m., College Area Community Council; Mar. 9, 6:30 p.m., Montalvo Community Council. More information on proposed rate changes is online at www.VenturaWaterRates.net.

Ventura River Watershed Adjudication Court status conference, Feb. 9 The city of Ventura served over 12,000 property owners in the Ventura River Watershed with instructions on how to join in legal action that may impact their water rights. Water rights impacted include pumping or storage of ground-

water from the groundwater basins identified including the Ojai Groundwater Basin and the Upper and Lower Ventura River Groundwater basins. The next hearing in the matter is a case status conference set for Feb. 9, 2021

in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Complex Civil Litigation Division, Dept. 10, 312 N. Spring St., Los Angeles. For information on making a telephonic appearance, visit courtcall.com/?c=CCHOME, or call 888-882-6878.

VC COVID Update Coronavirus vaccination details How is vaccine eligibility determined? California has created a phased system that determines who can get vaccinated. Currently those individuals in Phase 1A and 1B are eligible to get vaccinated. Within that phase local public health departments can set eligibility requirements based on the local agencies’ ability to obtain and administer the vaccine. For example, the state has stated individuals 65 and over can get the vaccine, but Ventura County Public Health has cited the vaccine shortage as a reason the county set the age at 75 and over. Vaccines given in Ventura County are for people who live or work in the county.

How can people register to get vaccinated? Currently in Ventura County there are two ways to register, online and by phone. The phone number is meant for individuals who do not have access to the Internet. That phone number is 805-477-1716. The online registration system is accessed through www.vcrecovers.org. Registrants will be directed to a state-run website that will ask for some identifying information. At the bottom of the county website is a list of several pharmacies also providing vaccinations through a federal program. Why can’t I register even though I’m eligible? Many in the county are reporting that they are unable to sign up either online or by phone. County officials say vaccine shortages have rendered them unable to offer enough appointments for everyone seeking the vaccine. The county adds new appointments each Monday. Why can’t I register for my second dose? For those who have already received the first shot and are 6—

nearing the date (21 days for Pfizer, 28 days for Moderna) to receive the second required dose there have been reported issues and delays. Both vaccine manufacturers state that the 21- and 28-day timelines for the second dose is a minimum wait time; waiting longer does not reduce the effect of the vaccine. County officials state that individuals will be notified by email when appointments are available for their second dosage. Officials reported that they have opted to not schedule second dose appointments in the future because they are not certain about timing or quantity of doses the county will receive.

by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

appointments scheduled through Feb. 8. A county spokesperson said on Monday, Feb. 1 that no more appointments were available this week. Where are vaccines being administered? The county has three main locations: the Ventura County Fairgrounds, South Oxnard Public Health and the Goebel Adult Community Center in Thousand Oaks. Eleven pharmacies across the county are also providing vaccinations through appointments accessed on the county website including Albertsons locations in Newbury Park and Simi Valley; Pavilions in Thousand Oaks; and multiple Vons locations in Oxnard, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Ventura.

Why aren’t there enough vaccines in the county? There is a national vaccine shortage. States place weekly orders through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which in turn place the orders with the manufacturers. The state receives information from each county about how many vaccines are needed and attempts to match that number. California is allocating vaccines based on calculations involving population percentages. Ventura County is about 2% of the state’s population and receives that number of doses as shipments are allocated. County vaccine administrators — public health, local pharmacies etc. — receive shipments directly from the manufacturer or a distributor, not from any state agency. County officials have reported to the Board of Supervisors that they are not holding back any doses and are administering as many doses as are received and can be administered.

What is required to get vaccinated? To get a vaccination you must register for an appointment and bring the following: • If eligible through employment: Healthcare worker employee badge with photo, OR professional license and photo ID, OR signed letter from employer on facility letterhead and photo ID, OR pay stub from healthcare employer with name and photo ID. • Residents of qualified facilities must bring a medical face sheet or LIC601. • Those 75 and older need to provide a photo ID showing their age.

How many vaccines have been administered? In Ventura County, as of Tuesday, Feb. 2, 74,374 doses have been administered. That includes 50,695 first doses and 13,342 second doses. For the week of Feb. 1 the county has 12,954

COVID mutations emerge in county Two found in Oxnard wastewater

by Kimberly Rivers

kimberly@vcreporter.com

ast week the city of Oxnard reported that a Colorado lab found two mutations of the coronavirus in samples of sewage wastewater from Oxnard and that levels of the virus in the wastewater are decreasing. “The overall prevalence of the virus is measured by the overall amount of the virus, variant or otherwise, present in the sample,” said Dr. Rose Nash PhD, director of research and development with GT Molecular in Fort Collins, Colorado. She spoke with the Ventura County Reporter on Feb. 1 about data from the company’s testing of virus levels and targeting mutations. The company developed a test that provides results within 24 hours. The goal in creating the rapid response test being used in Oxnard, and about 100 other wastewater facilities across the country, is to provide timely test results that are “actionable” for community leaders. Nash’s team receives samples from Oxnard twice a week. “Oxnard was very proactive. They got involved early and have great research ideas.” Oxnard has been testing sewage water samples for “overall viral copies per liter concentration since September and started testing at a weekly interval beginning in December,” said Mike Shaffer, GIS manager for the city of Oxnard. The first variant test was done on Jan. 22 shortly after the test developed by GT Molecular Dr. Rose Nash, director of was available. research and development for He said the city has grant GT Molecular. Photo submitted. funding from the Ventura County Community Foundation to cover five to six more weeks that will include “a few more variant tests, which are twice as expensive as the standard viral copies per liter analysis.” Staff from Oxnard’s Wastewater Division learned about the work being done by GT Molecular labs when they attended a webinar last year, hosted by the California Association of Water Agencies and the California Water Environment Association. Oxnard’s sewage facility manages waste from about 250,000 people, nearly a third of Ventura County’s population. The complete coronavirus genome can be found in the stools of those infected (“Full COVID genome found in stools: What does this mean for prevention and treatments?” by Kimberly Rivers, Ventura County Reporter, Sept. 24, 2020). Nash clarified they are “not doing DNA sequencing,” and the tests are “not mapping all mutations on the same strand.” The test being used looks “for key mutational signatures,”

that are known and can be targeted. Specifically, they are looking for mutations that are known to “drive the transmission” of the virus, like the N501Y and L69/70 mutations. She said mapping the entire genome of viruses in the samples would be very expensive and take several weeks.

Mutations detected locally

The first mutation detected in Oxnard, reported on Tuesday, Jan. 26, by Dr. Robert Levin, health officer with Ventura County Public Health, makes the virus more transmissible. Almost all, 99.6%, of the virus detected in Oxnard’s wastewater samples are the original “Wuhan” coronavirus strain. A mere 0.4% of the viruses found in the wastewater contain this first detected mutation. Shortly thereafter, on Friday, Jan. 29, in a written statement, Ventura County announced the discovery of a second mutation found in Oxnard’s wastewater. This additional mutation is being called “N501Y,” and it does occur in both the UK and South African variants already identified. N501Y made up a smaller percentage of the virus sample than the first mutation found, representing 0.283% of the detected virus. N501Y enables the virus to attach more tightly to ACE2 receptors in the body — the receptors the coronavirus targets. “The presence of this mutation in such a small amount of the sample tells me that this virus is not widespread in our county yet,” said Levin. “We cannot say the UK variant is absolutely present [ in the Oxnard samples],” said Nash, adding that the “two mutations that make the UK [variant] more transmissible are present in your community.” Additional testing, that will take one to two weeks, is needed to confirm whether these samples are the UK variant, which was first detected in the state on Dec. 30, or just share a mutation and represent a unique strain. That testing will be done in a partnership between GT Molecular and Stanford University through a “deep sequencing” project with the samples they are working with, including Oxnard’s sewage samples. Nash clarified that these two mutations have been found in the same sample of wastewater from Oxnard, but she “can’t say they came from the same particle,” or even from the same person. She explained that a mutation is a change in the nucleic acid code in the DNA of the virus and that a single change is a mutation. “Any virus that has a mutation is by definition a variant,” she said. Sometimes particular mutations can lead to “variants of interest,” which are “viruses that have changes that become interesting.” Interesting can mean various things, such as the virus becoming more transmissible or more virulent, meaning it causes more deaths. So far, all variants detected have

Three variants currently recognized

Health officials emphasize the discovery of new mutations and unique strains is not surprising and should be expected as mutations are a normal part of virus replication. There are currently three main variants, from the original virus, being tracked globally. All have been found in the United States, including the United Kingdom (UK) variant that was found in California in December. The other variants come from South Africa and Brazil. (1) Nash pointed to the UK variant, which hosts both of the mutations found in Oxnard, representing two of “about 20 different mutations [on that variant]. Some of those mutations are hitchhiker mutations, they are just along for the ride and happen near each other.” Other mutations happen to “improve” the virus in some way. “Right now, we know the UK [variant] has two to three mutations that are really driving it to become more infectious,” giving the virus a “fitness advantage.” Those are the mutations Nash and her team are focusing on finding. Nash is scheduled to speak at a webinar on Feb. 17 for the California Water Environmental Association. She will be presenting the data from Oxnard’s samples along with those from Palm Springs and other clients. As of today, the manufacturers of both available vaccines report their formulations are effective against all three variants, but with less efficacy than against the original virus. But the data behind those statements have not yet been peer reviewed. On Jan. 25, Moderna announced the testing of a third shot of its current vaccine as a “booster” and the development of a new vaccine to address “emerging variants.” (2) 1. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/transmission/variant.html 2. investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-releasedetails/moderna-covid-19-vaccine-retains-neutralizing-activity-against

“A beautiful place on the water” Ambitious visioning for Channel Islands Harbor by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

n Jan. 28, over 300 people participated in a nearly two-hour Zoom meeting that was part of the visioning process for the future development of Channel Islands Harbor and Fisherman’s Wharf in Oxnard. The meeting was primarily a presentation by David Sargent with Sargent Town Planning, a Los Angeles-based urban planning firm retained by Channel Islands Harbor to conduct the visioning process for the future redevelopment of the harbor. Sargent Town Planning has been involved with several other local planning projects, including East Area One in Santa Paula, the development and zoning plans adopted in 2019 for Oxnard’s historic downtown district and the creation of codes for the downtown Ventura area adopted by the city in 2007. Sargent emphasized that the ideas being presented were not a project proposal, but were possibilities for the public to provide input on. Interactive questions about the possibilities were presented during the Zoom meeting and results were reported back after each question. The meeting attendees were encouraged to submit other ideas as well. Those ideas will be combined with the over 1,900 responses received from an online survey to create a framework that will be used at the end of the visioning process for Ventura County, who owns and manages the harbor, to release a Request for Proposals from developers for the six areas in the harbor available now or in the near future for lease and new development. Because the harbor is located in the city of Oxnard, the city also will ultimately have to approve any plans. A steering committee for the visioning process has also been engaged in developing ideas so far. Members of the steering committee include: Ventura County Supervisor Matt LaVere (Dist. 1); Ashley Golden, assistant Oxnard city manager; Steve Kinney, executive director of Channel Islands Harbor Lessees Association; Audrey Keller, chair of the Channel Islands Neighborhood Council; Rene Aiu, representative from the Harbor and Beach Community Alliance; as well as several harbor residents and other stakeholders.

Focus on fun and revenue

Sargent said the availability of the development areas provided an opportunity to “generate a lot more fun for visitors and revenue for the harbor.” And that initial feedback from the public indicated a desire for more opportunities to be on or closer to the water. Mark Sandoval, director of the harbor, indicated the county policy that the harbor be self-sustaining, meaning any plan 10 — — February 4, 2021

0204_VCReporter_FEATURE 2.0 pages.indd 10

must include efforts to drive economic development and financial sustainability. To achieve that, Sargent said a few things would be required in any new development proposals. He noted the need for there to be an anchor activity that ideally would focus on the unique harbor offerings of being near the ocean and Channel Islands National Park. One suggestion, for example, was the creation of an educational center. Another key aspect identified was the need to draw in a “steady stream” of people for “discretionary” activities, meaning activities and spending that visitors choose to do rather than have to do. Any successful plan would likely include plenty of restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and more ways to interact with the key unique feature of the harbor — that it is “a beautiful place on the water,” said Sargent.

Convenient access and lodging

Many suggestions focused on the creation of a network of bike and walking paths and a water taxi to link all the parts of the harbor together so that visitors would not need to drive and repark to get to another section. One option

UNDRGRND Magazine brings hip-hop into the spotlight

by Marina Dunbar new magazine has emerged in Ventura County that aims to shine a light on the region’s vibrant underground hiphop community. The musical minds behind UNDRGRND Magazine are two Newbury Park natives, journalist Andrew Mason and musician Michael Pofsky. Mason and Pofsky attended Newbury Park High School together but followed divergent paths. Mason graduated in May 2019 from journalism school at Boston University, while Pofsky pursued a career as a rapper. Mason closely followed the hip-hop scene of his hometown after graduating, including the careers of Pofsky and other local rappers such as Deo Cane, Belle and KollegeKado. He reached out to Pofsky for an interview and the two soon realized the potential in combining their knowledge of journalism and passion for music. After becoming immersed in the unique sound of Ventura County, Mason and Pofsky created UNDRGRND Magazine as a way to highlight local talents and share their love of hip-hop with other residents of the 805. “When I was at school, I was just focused on sports journalism,” says Mason. “Before I got another journalism job, I wanted to do something cool related to music journalism . . . I thought of the idea of doing a music magazine and I wanted it to be based in the 805. That’s where I’m from and I want to rep that area, but also because that’s the access that I had.” music-making. A few highlights are Mind Off expressing the similarities between the waves of water and the soundwaves of music, B-Work’s advice on getting over the discomfort of songwriting, and Frankiii describing the advantages of studying music in an academic setting. There is also a section detailing the relationship between the underground hiphop scene and the recent movement for racial justice.

vide a platform and resources to communities throughout the world,” says Pofsky. “We would like to do an UNDRGRND issue for each city throughout the world. We could go international… we could do 20 issues per city, there’s that many artists everywhere.”

Hip-hop in education

The local hip-hop scene has been vivacious for several years now, and hip-hop has become the No. 1 most popular music genre in the country. As some music fans have already pointed out, the term “pop music” seems nearly trivial now, as hip-hop is the new popular music. Despite the remarkable rise in hip-hop music listeners, however, the world of higher education is dragging behind. There exist only a few universities in the country where one can minor in hip-hop studies, and there has yet to be a single institution to offer a bachelor’s degree in hip-hop.

UNDRGRND founders Michael Pofsky (left) and Andrew Mason. Photo by Josh Seiden related, some are fashion related, dance related, brand-building . . . the music world now is becoming an independent one. It’d be cool to see actual institutions set up to help people with that.” With several of these local artists coming from the Ventura County Community College system and California Lutheran University in

Thousand Oaks, perhaps Ventura County might be inspired to make history by offering programs in hip-hop academia. In the meantime, consider supporting local artists who elevate the distinctive soul of the 805. Read the latest issue of Undgrnd Magazine at undrgrndmag.com.

But if I’m looking for emotional honesty in a partner, shouldn’t I lead with it? — Confused If we’re arrested, we have a right to remain silent. Ideally, we don’t just confess: “That was me, robbing the 7-Eleven. See — there on the video — that’s my hair.” Best practices for criminals are also helpful for dating. In short, leaving

some mystery as to whether you’re all in will make you seem more desirable. Consider that we value things that are hard to get, which is why people spend thousands of dollars on rings with sparkly rocks chipped out of African mines when there are very pretty sparkly pebbles that can be picked up all over suburbia. Psychologist Robert Cialdini explains that the less available something seems, the more desirable we perceive it to be. This doesn’t mean it is more valuable, but fear of losing access to it kicks off a motivational state in us: a drive to get it that we don’t feel when we hear, “More where that came from! Our supply’s basically on the level of ‘plague of locusts.’” The thing is, you can tell somebody you’re into them through how you look at them and touch them. Consider where your longing to be immediately “honest” in spoken-word form might be coming from. Holding back information causes psychological tension, as does the suspense when we’re left wondering how another person feels. This tension is uncomfortable, so we long to relieve the pressure, like by exploding our feelz all over the person who inspired them. Ten-

ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Herman Hesse’s novel Siddartha is a story about a spiritual seeker who goes in search of illumination. Near the end of the quest, when Siddartha is purified and enlightened, he tells his friend, “I greatly needed sin, lust, vanity, the striving for goods, and the most shameful despair, to learn how to love the world, to stop comparing the world with any world that I wish for, with any perfection that I think up; I learned to let the world be as it is, and to love it and to belong to it gladly.” While I trust you won’t overdo the sinful stuff in the coming months, Aries, I hope you will reach a conclusion like Siddartha’s. The astrological omens suggest that 2021 is the best year ever for you to learn how to love your life and the world just as they are.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Taurus physicist Richard Feynman said, “If we want to solve a problem we have never solved before, we must leave the door to the unknown ajar.” That’s always good advice, but it’s especially apropos for you in the coming weeks. You are being given the interesting and fun opportunity to solve a problem you have never solved before! Be sure to leave the door to the unknown ajar. Clues and answers may come from unexpected sources.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

When we want to get a distinct look at a faint star, we must avert our eyes away from it just a little. If we look at it directly, it fades into invisibility. (There’s a scientific explanation for this phenomenon, which I won’t go into.) I propose that we make this your metaphor of power for the coming weeks. Proceed on the hypothesis that if you want to get glimpses of what’s in the distance or in the future, don’t gaze at it directly. Use the psychological ver-

(June 21-July 22):

If the apocalypse happens and you’re the last human left on earth, don’t worry about getting enough to eat. Just find an intact grocery store and make your new home there. It’s stocked with enough non-perishable food to feed you for 55 years — or 63 years if you’re willing to dine on pet food. I’M JOKING! JUST KIDDING! In fact, the apocalypse won’t happen for another 503 million years. My purpose in imagining such a loopy scenario is to nudge you to dissolve your scarcity thinking. Here’s the ironic fact of the matter for us Cancerians: If we indulge in fearful fantasies about running out of stuff—money, resources, love, or time—we undermine our efforts to have enough of what we need. The time is now right for you to stop worrying and instead take robust action to ensure you’re well-supplied for a long time.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“Judge a moth by the beauty of its candle,” writes Coleman Barks in his rendering of a poem by Rumi. In accordance with astrological omens, I am invoking that thought as a useful metaphor for your life right now. How lovely and noble are the goals you’re pursuing? How exalted and bighearted are the dreams you’re focused on? If you find there are any less-than-beautiful aspects to your motivating symbols and ideals, now is a good time to make adjustments.

VIRGO

Dad Man Walking

I’m a 33-year-old woman with a male partner in his late 30s. We eventually want children, and I’ve been considering having my eggs frozen. My doctor suggested my boyfriend should consider freezing his sperm. He is a “manly man” type, and his masculinity is a strong part of his identity. How can I keep him from being insulted and angry if I suggest he look into sperm freezing? — Aspiring Mom

Unfortunately, the men with the healthiest sperm are the 20-somethings who have trouble sustaining adult relationships — but no problem, because they’ll just have their mom call to tell you it’s over. We tend to have a weirdly one-sided view of fertility issues, as if a man’s only role in babymaking is the fun part, and never mind whether Daddy’s 27 or 70 at the time of conception. Meanwhile, women in their late 30s and their 40s get treated like they have dinosaur eggs. Having a bun in the oven at age 35 or older is referred to as a “geriatric pregnancy” or, less mortifyingly, being of “advanced maternal age.” It’s associated with increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects, as well as diabetes and high blood pressure in a woman during her pregnancy. There’s little understanding that aging sperm can be a problem, too. Researchers are still squabbling about when men hit “advanced paternal age,” but there’s general agreement that after age 40, sperm exhibit damage that can make it more difficult for a man to get a woman pregnant and are associated with greater miscarriage rates. There’s

also an increased risk of having children who develop schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders. OB-GYN researcher Dr. Nancy A. Phillips and her colleagues suggest that men “bank sperm before their 35th or, at least, their 45th birthday” to limit the risks to the mother, fetus, and child from aging sperm. In presenting this to your boyfriend, consider that how you frame a story changes the story that gets told. Make this a story not of elderly sperm but of the very manly act of protecting the woman he loves from harm (along with any baby who might enter the picture). Chances are he’ll see looking into sperm-freezing as a positive thing: a way he can preserve his he-man-liest sperm — instead of waiting till his varsity swimmers are more like old dudes floating on water wings in the condo pool.

sion of your peripheral vision. And yes, now is a favorable time to seek those glimpses.

CANCER

sion released! Uh, along with the message that we’re probably deeply needy and “not all that.” Try an experiment: With the next three guys you date, make a pact with yourself to tough out the discomfort instead of flapping your lips to make it go away. In practical terms: Don’t confess. Just be. You’ll ultimately have a better chance of finding the “emotional honesty” you’re looking for than if you try to rush the process — like by calling the guy up and blurting out, “Hi...I really love you!” A strangely familiar male voice responds: “I’m sorry, Ma’am. This is the gas company.”

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

I invite you to try the following experiment. Select two situations in your world that really need to be reinvented, and let every other glitch and annoyance just slide for now. Then

meditate with tender ferocity on how best to get the transformations done. Summoning intense focus will generate what amounts to magic! PS: Maybe the desired reinventions would require other people to alter their behavior. But it’s also possible that your own behavior may need altering.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Author Marguerite Duras wrote these words: “That she had so completely recovered her sanity was a source of sadness to her. One should never be cured of one’s passion.” I am spiritually allergic to that idea. It implies that our deepest passions are unavailable unless we’re insane, or at least disturbed. But in the world I aspire to live in, the opposite is true: Our passions thrive if we’re mentally healthy. We are best able to harness our most inspiring motivations if we’re feeling poised and stable. So I’m here to urge you to reject Duras’s perspective and embrace mine. The time has arrived for you to explore the mysteries of relaxing passion.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Author Karen Barad writes, “The past is never finished. It cannot be wrapped up like a package, or a scrapbook; we never leave it and it never leaves us behind.” I agree. That’s why I can’t understand New Age teachers who advise us to “live in the now.” That’s impossible! We are always embedded in our histories. Everything we do is conditioned by our life story. I acknowledge that there’s value in trying to see the world afresh in each new moment. I’m a hearty advocate of adopting a “beginner’s mind.” But to pretend we can completely shut off or escape the past is delusional and foolish. Thank you for listening to my rant, Scorpio. Now please spend quality time upgrading your love and appreciation

for your own past. It’s time to celebrate where you have come from—and meditate on how your history affects who you are now.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Luisah Teish is a writer and priestess in the Yoruban Lucumi tradition. She wrote a book called Jump Up: Seasonal Celebrations from the World’s Deep Traditions. “Jump up” is a Caribbean phrase that refers to festive rituals and parties that feature “joyous music, laughter, food, and dancing.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for a phase infused with the “jump up” spirit. As Teish would say, it’s a time for “jumping, jamming, swinging, hopping, and kicking it.” I realize that in order to do this, you will have to work around the very necessary limitations imposed on us all by the pandemic. Do the best you can. Maybe make it a virtual or fantasy jump up. Maybe dance alone in the dark.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

“Perhaps we should know better,” wrote poet Tony Hoagland, “but we keep on looking, thinking, and listening, hunting that singular book, theory, perception, or tonality that will unlock and liberate us.” It’s my duty to report, Capricorn, that there will most likely be no such singular magnificence for you in 2021. However, I’m happy to tell you that an accumulation of smaller treasures could ultimately lead to a substantial unlocking and liberation. For that to happen, you must be alert for and appreciate the small treasures, and patiently gather them in. (PS: Author Rebecca Solnit says, “We devour heaven in bites too small to be measured.” I say: The small bites of heaven you devour in the coming months will ultimately add up to being dramatically measurable.)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Aquarian author Alice Walker writes, “In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.” In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll adopt that way of thinking and apply it to every aspect of your perfectly imperfect body and mind and soul. I hope you’ll give the same generous blessing to the rest of the world, as well. This attitude is always wise to cultivate, of course, but it will be especially transformative for you in the coming weeks. It’s time to celebrate your gorgeous idiosyncrasies and eccentricities.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

“Though the bamboo forest is dense, water flows through it freely.” I offer that Zen saying just in time for you to adopt it as your metaphor of power. No matter how thick and complicated and impassable the terrain might appear to be in the coming weeks, I swear you’ll have a flair for finding a graceful path through it. All you have to do is imitate the consistency and flow of water. Homework: What’s the important thing you forgot about that you really do need to remember sometime soon? FreeWillAstrology.com.

Castaneda, Date of Birth: 11/24/2020, Place of Birth: Ventura, CA, Father's name: Brandon Lee, Mother’s name: Vanessa Castaneda. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your child. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 04/14/2021, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon as counsel can be heard in Courtroom J1 of this Court at Juvenile Justice Center 4353 Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA 93036. YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED as follows: At the hearing the Court must choose and implement one of the following permanent plans for the child: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 04/14/2021, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint counsel for you. A thirty-day continuance may be granted if necessary for counsel to prepare the case. At all termination proceedings, the Court shall consider the wishes of the child and shall act in the best interest of the child. Any order of the Court permanently terminating parental rights under this section shall be conclusive and binding upon the minor person, upon the parent or parents, and upon all other persons who have been served with citation by publication or otherwise. After making such an order, the Court shall have no power to set aside , change, or modify it, but this shall not be construed to limit the rights to appeal the order. If the Court, by order or judgment, declares the child free from the custody and control of both parents, or one parent if the other no longer has custody and control, the Court shall, at the same time, order the child referred to the licensed County adoption agency for adoptive placement by that agency. The rights and procedures described above are set forth in detail in the California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26. You are referred to that section for further particulars. Michael J.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county wherein the real property is located and more than three (3) months have elapsed since such recordation. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 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. If the sale occurs after 1/1/2021, the sale may not be final until either 15 or 45 days after the sale date - see Notice to Tenant. Further, no TDUS can be issued until the sale is final. Your bid is subject to being over bid by the Tenant or "eligible bidder" after the sale and if your bid is over bid, your only remedy is to the refund of your actual bid amount without interest or payment of any other costs, expenses or funds of any kind or nature incurred by the initial successor bidder. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Website www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 200142.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
