Letters Oxnard City Council kills term limits

O

n Tuesday, Jan. 21], the City Council did something dastardly — they adopted strict term limits in order to kill strict term limits.

Yes, you read that correctly!

Let me explain with a little background.

As you know, we gathered signatures over the summer from Oxnard voters to qualify a term limits initiative for the November ballot … that would limit the Oxnard mayor and council members to two consecutive four-year terms. After a two-year break the officeholder would be eligible to run again.

Knowing that we were about to qualify for the ballot, the City Council placed its own competing initiative (Measure B) on the March ballot that would also impose term limits, but their proposal allows for up to three consecutive four-year terms (and a two-year break before being able to serve again).

But the City Council’s measure includes a loophole — if you switch from council to mayor (or vice versa) the clock starts all over again … So some can avoid term limits altogether. In other words, it’s a fake term limits proposal.

Rather than submitting our REAL term limits measure for the

November ballot, the city council actually ADOPTED it to go into effect immediately.

The City Council knows that people voting in March for Measure B (the Fake Term Limits measure) will unwittingly be voting to OVERRIDE real term limits.

You see, the voters in the March election are about to be lied to in an official government publication. Voters won’t be told that we ALREADY have strict term limits because of the council’s vote.

Instead the ballot argument for Measure B falsely states the following: “FACT: Measure B imposes real term limits on elected officials.” As if term limits don’t yet exist.

In reality, because of the Oxnard City Council’s self-serving maneuver, voting for Measure B in March will now OVERTURN our stricter term limits and substitute the council’s FAKE TERM LIMITS scheme.

The City Council deprived you of the right to vote for real term limits in November.

Now, in order to preserve real term limits, Oxnard voters need to vote AGAINST Measure B on March 3.

Be sure to Vote No on Oxnard’s Measure B. Aaron Starr starr@movingoxnardforward.org 805-804-9101

GOP plan from a progressive It’s my understanding that none of the Republicans will stand up to Trump because they are fearful of losing their House or Senate seat!

I have the solution! All those with gonads or kahunas should band together and not only convict Trump, BUT remove him from office! They will save their jobs as there will no longer be a Trump threat, AND would also restore the Republican Party to a saner place.

My political savvy friend, Trish Parker, has the perfect winning ticket for the Dems: Biden for President and Obama for Vice-President.

Can you imagine the Republicans’ reaction? They would all be apoplectic! Speechless! Dumbstruck!

Could someone please contact Obama and persuade him to return to DC for even just four years?

Judith A. Beay Ventura

Great men are almost always bad men When the British politician Lord Acton wrote in 1887, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men,” he was implying that only a few great leaders like Abraham Lin-

coln, Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, could also be good people.

Both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have described Donald Trump as “the most corrupt president in U.S. history,” he is neither a great nor a good man.

Concerning the so-called controversy between Bernie and Elizabeth over whether a woman can be president, hardly any commentator seemed to notice Bernie’s reminder that he had deferred to Elizabeth when she was considering running for president in 2016.

“In 2015, I deferred, in fact, to Senator Warren. There was a movement to draft Senator Warren to run for president. And you know what, I stayed back. Senator Warren decided not to run, and I then did run afterward.”

Nor did anyone seem to comment on the video Bernie mentioned showing him arguing 30 years ago that a woman could be president.

Critics of Bernie and Elizabeth’s progressive policies seem to be doing their best to foster animosity between the two.

Don’t let this happen, Bernie and Elizabeth.

You are both already good and, given the opportunity, can both become great.

Power to Speak

Be counted!

W

hat, started in January, will affect every person in the United States, guide the flow of hundreds of billions of federal dollars and steer government and business planning for 10 years? If you answered the start of a new decade, you wouldn’t be far off the mark.

Because 2020 brings the decennial census, and on Jan. 21, the first person was counted — in the remote Alaska Native village of Toksook Bay. Census takers have to get an early start in Alaska before the ground thaws into marsh and residents leave for fishing, hunting and other jobs.

In Ventura County, the census — the nation’s largest peacetime project — won’t begin until mid-March. But the U.S. Census Bureau needs your help now as we spread the word about the importance of an accurate count, the privacy and confidentiality of the data gathered and the need for residents to apply for the hundreds of census taker jobs that will be available in Ventura County.

The federal government uses census data to allocate more than $675 billion annually for health care, education and other community services. The list of affected programs is long and

4—

— February 6, 2020

The 2020 Census begins mid-March in Ventura County

includes Medicaid, Medicare, Section 8 housing, transportation, special education, school lunches and more.

The number of U.S. House seats each state gets also is based on census data, as well as redistricting for state offices and the creation of local voting districts as more and more city councils and school districts in California move away from the generalelection method.

The U.S. Constitution calls for a decennial census, and the 14th Amendment demands that it count “the whole number of persons in each State.” Over the decades, that has included slaves, children too young to vote and undocumented immigrants. If you’re living in Ventura County, chances are you’re driving on Highway 101, going to the doctor, using the parks or attending school, and the community needs funding for the impacts you create.

The 2020 Census questionnaire asks a few simple questions about everyone living in your household and will be easier than ever to complete — you can do it online, by phone or in written form, all beginning in mid-March. It will not ask about immigration status, and under Title 13 of the federal code, the Census Bureau cannot share your answers with any other agency — not Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not city

government, not even a local housing authority.

Yet concerns about an undercount in Ventura County are real. The Census Bureau has identified more than 50 “hard-tocount” tracts throughout the county, along with hard-to-count demographic groups like children under 5 and minorities. The bureau is working with the Ventura County Community Foundation’s Complete Count Committee to enlist “trusted voices” here — schools, churches, nonprofits, businesses and others — to urge everyone to complete the census.

For a complete count, we also need census takers to knock on the doors of those who don’t respond to our mailers. These positions offer flexible, part-time work paying $21 an hour. You can help your community, join a once-in-a-decade effort and earn some money by applying online at 2020census.gov/jobs. ♦ Ken

CLU forms new school School for Professional and Continuing Studies looks beyond traditional degree programs

by Alicia Doyle alicia@aliciadoyle.com

C

alifornia Lutheran University (CLU) in Thousand Oaks has formed the School for Professional and Continuing Studies, which is focused on education beyond traditional bachelor’s and graduate degrees.

The school houses the Bachelor’s Degree for Professionals program, the Center for Nonprofit Leadership and the new Center for Lifelong Learning, which is where the Fifty and Better program resides.

“The Fifty and Better program is designed for community members who are 50 years of age and older and want to continue learning — just for the joy of learning and social engagement,” said Lisa Buono, the school’s founding dean, adding that the program will begin in the spring, with multiple courses offered during sixand four-week sessions throughout the year.

The Bachelor’s Degree for Professionals is CLU’s accelerated bachelor’s degree completion program designed for post-traditional students, often referred to as working adult students. Courses are taught by full- and part-time CLU faculty and offered year-round during four 11-week terms per year, and most

6—

— February 6, 2020

courses meet one night per week.

“Many of our students are also wage earners for themselves and family, financially independent, first-generation college-goers and veterans or of military families,” said Buono, noting that this program started at CLU in 1985 as the Adult Degree Evening Program. CLU rebranded the program in 2013, and currently offers eight majors: accounting, business management, communication, computer information systems, computer science, criminology and criminal justice, organizational leadership and psychology. Classes take place at CLU’s main campus in Thousand Oaks and the university’s centers in Oxnard and Woodland Hills.

Additionally, “the professionals program is exploring adding a new major, healthcare management,” Buono said.

The Center for Nonprofit Leadership, which has been at CLU since 2016, provides affordable, professional development opportunities to meet the needs of the nonprofit leader, board member or volunteer. The center offers an array of individual workshops each year — with topics such as grant writing, board governance and fundraising — as well as a Board Leadership Institute and a Nonprofit Resiliency Institute. It

offers individual and organizational memberships, but nonmembers can also attend workshops, Buono said.

CLU relies on both faculty and outside experts to provide instruction for the new school’s programs.

“The Center for Nonprofit Leadership’s workshops and institutes are hosted by facilitators who are subject-matter experts and have a wide breadth of experience in the nonprofit sector,” Buono said. “The Fifty and Better courses will be taught by both Cal Lutheran faculty as well as nonCal Lutheran faculty with specific subject-matter expertise.”

Currently, there are about 300 students in the Bachelor’s Degree for Professionals program, while the Center for Nonprofit Leadership serves more than 1,000 attendees each year. At the Center for Lifelong Learning, Buono said that, “Over time, we hope to serve 500-plus community members in our Fifty and Better program.”

Ultimately, she added: “We want to continue to expand the development of meaningful learning opportunities for our community with the hope that the [students] will use their gifts to serve our community.”

Santa Susana Field Lab Workgroup holding public meeting On Thursday, Feb. 13, a workgroup that has met for 30 years to educate and update the community about issues related to the cleanup of the 1959 partial nuclear meltdown at the Santa Susana Field Lab is hosting a community update meeting titled “Cleanup Crisis: Finding a Path Forward.”

The owners of the site have recently informed the group that nearly all of the chemical and radioactive materials will be left on the site.

California Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Jared Blumenfeld will be the guest speaker, and a question and answer session will follow with Dan Hirsh, president of the Committee to Bridge the Gap. The event takes place 7-9 p.m. at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center at 3050 E. Los Angeles Ave. and is hosted by Committee to Bridge the Gap, Physicians for Social Responsibility - Los Angeles, Rocketdyne Cleanup Coalition and ParentsColleges Against SSFL.of Law Client:

Board of Supervisors voted to support the formation of a Sustainability Groundwater Agency (GSA) for the Carpinteria Basin, and not to appoint a director from Ventura County to the board of the GSA at this time. The southernmost portion of the basin and eight water wells are in Ventura County.

The California Sustainability Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requires that all highpriority basins be governed by a GSA in order to bring the basins into sustainable use. A 2019 report from the California Department of Water Resources re-identifies the Carpinteria basin, previously labeled “low priority,” as “high priority” and therefore subject to the SGMA. The newly formed GSA is now mandated to create a plan and bring the basin “to a sustainable state by 2044.”

The basin has eight wells along Rincon Road in Ventura County.

Two are domestic, four are for agricultural use and one is listed as “unknown.”

We didn’t invent law school.

We just made it better.

50 YEARS, ONE PURPOSE: INNOVATING LEGAL EDUCATION A lot has changed since 1969. But our mission to provide accessible, affordable, and quality legal education has not. Over the past 50 years, we’ve put law degrees within reach for many who thought it may never be possible. Now, we’re taking the lead in redefining what it means to go to law school in the 21st century with hybrid, online, and flexible options.

AcademyAwards2020 Who will grab the gold on Oscar night?

by Ivor Davis

H

aving covered the Oscars for nearly half a century, I believe Sunday night’s ABC TV show (the 92nd Academy Awards) is more wide open than ever before.

Will the World War I saga 1917, from Brit director Sam Mendes, blow away Quentin Tarantino’s l969 fairy tale Once Upon a Time . . . in Hollywood for best picture and director?

Or will a surprising foreign-language Korean social satire (Parasite) with a cast of totally unknown actors make history by bumping off director Martin Scorsese’s threehour-plus mob story The Irishman — despite its heavyweight, all-star cast that includes legends such as Robert De Niro and Al Pacino?

Or maybe that crazy Joker, Joaquin Phoenix, will get the last laugh and triumph over the Pope, the Vatican as well as best actor contender Jonathan Pryce in The Two Popes?

Before the curtain goes up you should know that director Todd Phillips’ Joker, a comic-book origin story about Batman’s biggest foe, comes to Oscar night with 11 nominations — including best picture, best director and best actor.

Scorsese’s epic, Tarantino’s odd ode to 1969 Los Angeles and Mendes’ riveting war drama follow close behind with 10 nods apiece. Those films, along with Ford v Ferrari, Jojo Rabbit, Little Women, Marriage Story and Parasite, all compete for best picture.

Sadly, female filmmakers were entirely shut out of the best director race, which includes the above mentioned as well as the unknown Hollywood outsider, Korean filmmaker Bong Joon Ho, for his much-acclaimed Parasite.

So strap yourself in for some surprises, some yawns and even some predictable outcomes during the three-hour show. Nothing is certain when Hollywood heavyweights put on their finery and don their over-the-top designer outfits to vie for the film industry’s top prizes.

Background note: Over the last few years, voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — now some 6,600 strong — have recruited fresh and much younger blood in an effort to shake up the traditional, aged white male membership profile. That’s why anything could happen.

Here are the movies and actors I would like to win, alongside the talent that is likely to walk off with the golden statuettes.

BEST ACTOR

My choice: Adam Driver for Marriage Story Likely winner: Mr. Phoenix

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

My choice: Tom Hanks, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Likely winner: Joe Pesci, The Irishman

BEST ACTRESS

No contest: Renée Zellweger for Judy. She portrays singer Judy Garland in a sad movie that captures Garland desperately trying to make a comeback at the end of her dazzling but storm-tossed career.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

My choice: Laura Dern in Marriage Story Likely winner: Kathy Bates in Richard Jewell

BEST DIRECTOR

My choice: Sam Mendes, l917 Likely winner: Parasite’s Bong Joon Ho

BEST PICTURE

Tough, this one.

My favorite: The clever satire Jojo Rabbit Likely winner: Parasite And here are a few other odd picks.

Shoo-in for best original song: “I’m Gonna Love Me Again,” from Rocketman, for Elton John and his songwriting buddy, Bernie Taupin.

And I expect British veteran cinematographer Roger Deakins (Blade Runner 2049 and numerous Coen brothers movies) to win that category for his work on 1917.

Oh. And here’s another surefire prediction: There will be no host for the awards this year!

And the Oscar goes to….

The 92nd Academy Awards will air live on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 9. Red carpet coverage begins at 3:30 p.m.; awards presentations start at 5 p.m.

dipping sauce.

Instead of going my usual route, spicy basil noodles, we took the waiter’s recommendation to try the sizzling rice and ordered it with fried tofu. It arrived sizzling (loud and hot) and the fresh veggies were swimming in a peanut sauce with cashews. We also chose the fresh garlic green beans — a special that day. The bright pile of fresh, crunchy greens were so tasty that I didn’t want to share the take-home portion (but did). I was more generous with the equally flavorful barbecue pork ribs — the very meaty, flavorful portions are more than enough to share with several friends or family.

We washed it all down with a shared Singha beer (wine and beer served here) and were so full we neglected to ask about desserts. Turns out that our eyes were way bigger than our stomachs — which meant that there was plenty leftover for each of us to take home.

For the record, lunch specials (offered only on weekdays) include a choice of one of the following: pad thai noodles, stir fried mixed vegetables, karee gai (chicken curry) or green salad with ginger or peanut dressing. My guess is that locals probably show up regularly and know the additional daily specials like Monday’s BBQ chicken, garlic beef or cashew nut chicken, or that pepper steak is available on Wednesdays. All of it is served with rice for a reasonable $9.

Exotic Thai delivers for those who live in and around Ojai. The restaurant is owned by the same woman who recently opened Live to Eat across the street (recently reviewed here and how I learned about Exotic Thai!) which has fantastic desserts, so if you still have room, just pop across Ojai Avenue and get your sweet tooth on!

I’m not sure how I missed Exotic Thai all these years, and Rick said he didn’t know why he and his family hadn’t been here, either. But now the restaurant has two new fans to join the legions of locals who give many thumbs up to this cozy and delicious lunch and dinner spot —and I have a new “go to” for affordable lunch specials in Shangri-La at a spot that now holds new meaning: The place where we remembered our friends. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

The Sociopat Of Least Resistance

I

discovered that the guy I’m dating has a girlfriend he’s cheating on. In fact, she confronted us, which was awful. I’ve had a history of guys cheating on me, and I want to end the pattern. Unfortunately, I’m not attracted to a lot of guys I go out with, and I’m really attracted to this guy.

— Chemistry Being really attracted to somebody is the go-to excuse for shrugging

by amy alkon off a potential partner’s shady behavior — pretty much anything this side of “Well, sure, several of his neighbors are wintering in Ziploc in his basement freezer.”

It helps that attraction seems like some mysterious and magical force.

It’s actually not. Who we’re attracted to — which people, with which features — is prearranged by our biological robot overlord, aka evolution, via genetic code written into each of us. It’s part of evolution’s scheme for building better babies — giving our genes the best shot at being passed on to future generations.

We see this in research by neuropsychologist Bruno Laeng that suggests we are attracted to potential partners who look like us — though not too much like us. Laeng found that people were most attracted to individuals who share about 22% of their facial features (as opposed to 11% or 33%, the other percentages tested). Other research by social-personality psychologists R. Chris Fraley and Michael J. Marks likewise hit the 22% mark.

Laeng explains that this balancing of “similarity and dissimilarity” (which we do subconsciously) helps us avoid “inbreeding with close relatives,” like siblings or first cousins.

Inbreeding increases the chances that both partners would have the same nasty recessive genes for a dis-

order or disease. “Recessive” genes are true to label when they are paired with a dominant gene: They recede... slumping into the background, unemployed, inactive. But when two recessive genes for a condition are paired (like when close relatives with the same recessive gene make a baby), these genes become active — and so does the disorder or the disease.

As for you, the features you happen to be attracted to come in the package of a guy who cheats on his girlfriend. This reflects bad charac-

What matters is how fair a relationship feels. ter. Assuming you didn’t go out into Datingland all, “I’ve just gotta find a sexy sociopath,” reflecting on the evolutionary nuts and bolts of attraction might help you stop using it as an excuse and give the shove to Mr. Morally At Leisure.

To avoid again letting the hots for some himbo blind you to his undesirable qualities, make a short checklist — what I call “man minimums,” the qualities you can’t do without in a man — and put character at the top of your list. When a man shows you

he comes up short on your “must haves,” cut off contact and move on.

Ideally, if you’re screaming in bed, it isn’t because the girlfriend of the guy you’re with just burst through the door brandishing a missile launcher.

Halving It All I’m a 20-something gay man dating someone who makes much more money than I do. He picks up the tab on most dates, and while he seems okay with this, it makes me uncomfortable. I pay here and there, but I can’t afford much beyond lunch or lattes. Does our financial inequality mean a relationship between us is doomed?

— Barely Scraping By Chances are the guy doesn’t think you’re hoofing it up to the Coinstar clutching a baggie of change because you feel the nickels and dimes between your couch cushions could do with a little sun.

What matters is how fair a relationship feels. Fair doesn’t mean everything’s exactly 50-50, as in, he puts in 50 cents; you put in 50 cents.

It means you each seem equally invested — equally motivated to make sacrifices to benefit the other — as opposed to one of you pulling the cashwagon, plow-style, while the

other just hops on, puts his feet up, and enjoys the ride.

When there are imbalances — when one partner puts in a lot and gets comparatively little in return — it isn’t just the more giving person who gets socked with the feelbad.

Social psychologist Elaine Hatfield finds that partners who are “overbenefited” — who fail to put in their fair share of the relationship effort — “may experience pity, guilt, and shame,” while those who feel “underbenefited” for their contributions can experience “anger, sadness, and resentment.”

The way to avoid either of these emotional crap carnivals is to voice your concerns. This should start a conversation that sets you two on track to be loving, equally contributing partners in the way you’re each most able — taking into account that your best bet for making a lot of money in the near future is probably counterfeiting hundred-dollar bills on your inkjet printer.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

You now have the power to make connections that have not previously been possible. You can tap into an enhanced capacity to forge new alliances and strengthen your support system. I urge you to be on the lookout for a dynamic group effort you could join or a higher purpose you might align yourself with. If you’re sufficiently alert, you may even find an opportunity to weave your fortunes together with a dynamic group effort that’s in service to a higher purpose.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

“Victory won’t come to me unless I go to it,” wrote the poet Marianne Moore. In other words, you must track down each victory you’re interested in. You must study its unique nature. And then you must adjust yourself to its specifications. You can’t remain just the way you are, but must transform yourself so as to be in alignment with the responsibilities it demands of you. Can you pass these tests, Taurus? I believe you can. It’s time to prove it.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

While at the peak of his powers as an author, Gemini-born Nobel Prize-winner Jean Paul Sartre consumed an array of mood-shifters every day. He quaffed at least a quart of alcohol, smoked two packs of cigarettes, and drank copious amounts of coffee and tea. His intake of pills included 200 milligrams of amphetamines, 15 grams of aspirin, and a handful of barbiturates. I propose that we make Sartre your anti-role model during the next four weeks, dear Gemini. According to my analysis of your astrological indicators, your ability to discover, attract, and benefit from wonders and marvels will thrive to the degree that you forswear drugs and alcohol and artificial enhancements. And I’m pleased to inform you

by rob brezsny

that there could be a flood of wonders and marvels.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

I don’t think I’m boring. How could I be? I have an abundant curiosity and I love to learn new things. I’ve worked at many different jobs, have read widely, and enjoy interacting with a broad range of humans. Yet now and then I’ve had temporary relationships with people who regarded me as uninteresting. They didn’t see much of value in me. I tend to believe it was mostly their fault—they couldn’t see me for who I really am—but it may have also been the case that I lived down to their expectations. Their inclination to see me as unimportant influenced me to be dull. I bring this up, my fellow Cancerian, because now is an excellent time to remove yourself from situations where you have trouble being and feeling your true self.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Soprano Helen Traubel and tenor Lauritz Melchior performed together in many productions of Wagnerian operas, often at the Metropolitan in New York City. Friends and colleagues but not lovers, they had a playful relationship with each other. A favorite pastime was figuring out tricks they could try that would cause the other to break into inappropriate laughter while performing. According to my quirky reading of the astrological omens, Leo, the coming weeks will be a propitious time for you to engage in similar hijinx with your allies. You have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to enjoy amusing collaborative experiments, playful intimate escapades, and adventures in buoyant togetherness.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Eighteenth-century author Samuel Johnson singlehandedly compiled the influential A Dictionary of the English Language, which remained the definitive

British dictionary for 170 years. We shouldn’t be surprised that it was a Virgo who accomplished such an intricate and exhaustive feat. As a high-minded Virgo, Johnson also had a talent for exposing hypocrisy. In commenting on the Americans’ War of Independence against his country, he noted that some of the “loudest yelps for liberty” came from slaveowners. I propose that we make him one of your role models in 2020. May he inspire you to produce rigorous work that’s useful to many. May he also empower you to be a candid purveyor of freedom.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Is there a project or situation you’d love to create but have lacked the confidence to try? Now is a time when you can finally summon the necessary courage. Is there a long-running dilemma that has always seemed too confusing and overwhelming to even understand, let alone solve? Now is a favorable time to ask your higher self for the clear vision that will instigate an unforeseen healing. Is there a labor of love that seems to have stalled or a dream that got sidetracked? Now is a time when you could revive its luminosity and get it back in a sweet groove.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Was there a more influential 20th-century artist than Scorpio-born Pablo Picasso? He was a revolutionary innovator who got rich from his creations. Once, while visiting a gallery showing of art made by children, he said, “When I was their age I could draw like Raphael [the great Renaissance artist]. But it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like they do.” In accordance with your current astrological omens, Scorpio, I suggest you seek inspiration from Picasso’s aspiration. Set an intention to develop expertise in seeing your world and your work through a child’s eyes.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

I know a Sagittarius man who has seen the film Avengers: Endgame 17 times. Another Sagittarian acquaintance estimates she has listened all the way through to Billie Eilish’s album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 135 times. And then there’s my scholarly Sagittarian friend who has read the ancient Greek epic poem the Iliad 37 times. I have no problem with this behavior. I admire your tribe’s ability to keep finding new inspiration in sources you already know well. But in my astrological opinion, you shouldn’t do much of this kind of thing in the coming weeks. It’s high time for you to experiment with experiences you know little about.

Be fresh, innocent, and curious.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Athens was one of the great cities of the ancient world. Its vigorous art, theater, philosophy, architecture, and experiments in democracy are today regarded as foundational to Western culture. And yet at its height, Athens’ population was a mere 275,000—equal to modern Fort Wayne, Indiana or Windsor, Ontario. How could such a relatively small source breed such intensity and potency? That’s a long story. In any case, I foresee you having the potential to be like Athens yourself in the coming weeks and months, Capricorn: a highly concentrated fount of value. For best results, focus on doing what you do best.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

According to my analysis, the year 2020 will be a time when you can have dramatic success as you re-evaluate and re-vision and revamp your understandings of your life purpose. Why were you born?

What’s the nature of your unique genius? What are

the best gifts you have to offer the world? Of the many wonderful feats you could accomplish, which are the most important? The next few weeks will be a potent time to get this fun and energizing investigation fully underway.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Physicist Niels Bohr won a Nobel Prize for his insights about quantum mechanics. But he was humble about the complexity of the subject. “If you think you understand it, that only shows you don’t know the first thing about it,” he mused. I’m tempted to make a similar statement about the mysteries and riddles that are making your life so interesting. If you think you understand those mysteries and riddles, you probably don’t. But if you’re willing to acknowledge how perplexing they are, and you can accept the fact that your comprehension of them is partial and fuzzy, then you might enjoy a glimmer of the truth that’s worth building on.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate
