“Rarely black and white” Cultural Heritage Board recommends protection for contaminated site

by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

Burro Flats Painted Cave. (Photo by D. Gandy)

A

2,850-acre site in the Santa Susana Mountains near Simi Valley that is sacred to at least four local Indigenous tribes is being considered for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Burro Flats is associated with the Chumash, Fernandeño, Kizh/Gabreileño and Tataviam Tribes. There are rock art sites — the best known being the Burro Flats Painted Cave, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 — as well as living sites, ceremonial locations and sacred areas.

The land overlies the former site of the Santa Susana Field Lab, a location for rocket, nuclear and metals research starting in 1949 that left the land significantly contaminated. The site’s cleanup (or lack thereof) has been a point of fierce contention among local environmental groups, large corporations and government agencies since the 1970s, and some claim that the bid for cultural protection is an effort to sidestep remediation.

Alan Salazar, a member of the elder’s council of the Fernandeño/ Tataviam Band of Mission Indians, says that when it comes to Indigenous issues, things are rarely “black and white.”

“A cultural sacred site”

“This was done at our request...that the site be designated as a cultural sacred site,” said Salazar. He was speaking to the VCReporter on the morning of Monday June 29, before the Ventura County Cultural Heritage Board would review and consider staff recommendation to support the nomination of the area to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as Burro Flats Cultural District (BFCD).

The area is rich in culturally important elements, including rocks bearing pictographs, settings for winter and summer solstice celebrations and ceremonial locations where the ancestors of tribal members living here today gathered, sang and prayed. Salazar described “various hunting sites, places where someone was making points or arrowheads . . . called a ‘scatter.’” The 2,850acre swath borders the territories of three tribes.

“You can walk a few miles west to Chumash territory, south to the Tongva lands and east to the Tataviam. We have had a relationship for thousands of years, traded, we intermarried, my family is Chumash and Tataviam,” Salazar explained.

According to Salazar, cultural designation would not affect the required cleanup at all. He has worked as a monitor at the site for over six years, during the collection of soil samples and other activities, and said that most of the contamination is not in the areas near the most significant sites. “Where the most serious contamination is, is not anywhere close to the rock art site.”

Tribal involvement with cleanup efforts

These Indigenous sites are located on the former site of the Santa Susana Field Lab, which sustained chemical contamination from over 30,000 rocket fuel tests and a partial nuclear melt6—

down in 1959. Soil and groundwater in the area is contaminated with carcinogenic materials including heavy metals and perchlorates and these toxic compounds have been found to migrate off the site during wind, rain and fire events.

Initially covered up by the government, the contamination was made public by college students in the 1970s. For decades the public has demanded cleanup, but large corporations and government agencies actively evaded agreements that required full cleanup by 2017.

Today, Boeing, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are responsible for cleaning up the site, while the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is responsible for ensuring the cleanup occurs. The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) oversees the DTSC. To this day, no cleanup has begun. Recently, new agreements with the state set out a plan to begin removing buildings, but the public has little trust in the responsible parties and the plans are contingent on federal funding.

Based on this history, many fear that the cultural district designation is merely one more opportunity for the responsible parties to evade their obligations.

Salazar, however, said that, “This [cultural district] designation really has very little to do with the cleanup. What we will do is called mitigation [through] negotiation with all three [responsible parties]. We will negotiate the best way to clean it up.”

Salazar estimates that only about five to 10 percent of the areas of archeological significance will require some kind of mitigation or cleanup activities. For the other 90 percent of the sites, “We will have monitors because they are close to other [important] sites . . . A majority of that is in the rock shelter on rock. That is not being removed.”

In his opinion, there is no tension between those seeking to protect the archeological sites and those advocating for cleanup, but there are “disagreements on how much to clean up. In my opinion, the complexities of this site are related to [determining] how much you clean up and at what level...The highest level, that’s what the activists pound on their chest... If there is cleanup

at the highest level, that 2,800 acre site will look completely different. You’ll remove that much contaminated soil, removing almost all the vegetation, kill or remove dozens of ancient oak trees . . . you have to weigh that.”

He’s spoken to radiation experts and said that removing all the top layers of soil, as some are calling for, may not be needed across large areas — and may in fact be harmful to the overall environment.

“It’s going to destroy the natural, native plants, native animals. Mountain lions, the deer, all the native birds that live there. Many will be gone, no habitat, no brush . . . That site would look like the moon.”

Salazar supports a “happy medium, not destroying all the plants and native animals, making it safe, but not destroying cultural sites.”

“One thing I’ve come to realize after 40 years of involvement in Native American causes is that issues are very rarely black and white, there are always gray areas,” said Salazar. “In order for issues to be resolved it takes all the groups, that is six distinct groups.” He acknowledges there are disagreements along the way. “Have we asked for things that NASA has said no to? Yes. They had to give a little, we had to give a little. I hope that continues, stakeholders and local people need to sit down and work with all the different groups . . . It’s an extremely complex issue . . .

That’s something that sometimes people don’t understand, how the negotiations between tribes and the government work.”

Cultural Heritage Board makes recommendation

The June 29 special meeting lasted over five hours, and resulted in a unanimous decision by the CHB to recognize that some areas inside the new boundaries proposed for the Burro Flats Cultural District (BFCD) meet the criteria for the site to be listed on the National Register of Historical Places (NRHP). During deliberations, however, board members questioned whether the site had integrity as a cultural site due to the contamination. In addition, many pondered whether a full cleanup needs to occur before nomination to the NRHP. Fifty-six written public comments were submitted, with over 20 people speaking at the online meeting. The strong majority asked the CHB to either deny the application for a cultural district, or recommend the process be delayed until the site is cleaned up due to a mistrust of NASA’s intentions. Some said it was an attempt to avoid doing proper cleanup.

Salazar called the idea that NASA is trying to

evade a proper cleanup “completely false,” and said he has been working with NASA, Boeing and DOE representatives for 10 years, with members of several area tribes taking part in research on the site.

“NASA takes seriously its role as a steward of the cultural resources within NASA-administered areas at SSFL and has been working with the Native American community to protect the irreplaceable cultural resources at SSFL,” said Matthew Rydin, press secretary for NASA, responding via email to the VCReporter on June 25. “The listing of the Burro Flats Cultural District as a Traditional Cultural Property in the National Register of Historic Places will not change or impact NASA’s commitment or responsibility to cleanup.”

The CHB was careful to craft its recommendation to indicate that sites not yet identified within the district boundaries also be included in the cultural district, and that any protection afforded to the site which “impairs or impedes the legally mandated clean up efforts at the proposed district” would “conflict with public health, safety and general welfare.” Lan- Alan Salazar (Photo by Mona Lewis) guage was added to the recommendation that “legally mandated clean up efforts . . . include a remediation plan to protect the formally recognized resources during clean up activities.”

The recommendations will now go to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, (expected to be heard on July 28) who may add comments before transmitting the CHB recommendations to the California Office of Historic Preservation, which will review the comments and present recommendations to the State Historical Resources Commission on August 14, 2020.

117 sites of cultural significance

NASA applied to have the entire 2,850-acre area of SSFL be included on the national register, expanding the current 25-acre protected site encompassing the Burro Flats Painted Cave. That process compels the State Historical Resources Commission to seek input from local governments and cultural heritage commissions.

Through collaborations with indigenous con-

vcreporter.com sultants, 117 sites and one object of cultural significance have been identified, including at least 10 rock wall paintings along with various outcrops, stone shelters, trails, creeks, view sheds and living areas. The exact locations of the sites are not made public in order to protect the archeological sites.

The staff report presented to the CHB states that the district area is associated with the Chumash, Fernandeño, Kizh/Gabreileño, and Tataviam Tribes. Staff agreed with NASA’s findings that the site is eligible under “Criterion A” which states “Properties can be eligible for the National Register if they are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.”

The staff report also agreed with NASA that an underlying consequence of the site being fenced off from the public for so long actually protected it from artifact hunters and those who would take artifacts from the sites, resulting in cultural sites that are extremely intact.

Susana Site,” said Sam Cohen, responsible for government affairs for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. “We are thankful the site has been secured . . . We are saddened that [our] Chumash church has been contaminated . . . We need your help to clean up our church. We ask you to support the nomination.”

Cohen described the work he’s done with NASA consulting on the cultural sites at SSFL beginning in 2010. They resurveyed the entire site and completed an ethnographic study, and are applying to list the entire Burro Flats area on the national registry. He said the expansion of the boundaries was done at the tribe’s request.

“Everyone agrees this is a historical place.” He asked the CHB to approve the special district “so long as it doesn’t negatively affect the cleanup.”

Charmaine Buehner, attorney with Ventura County Counsel, clarified the role of the CHB, stating. “The question before the Cultural Heritage Board is a fairly narrow one . . . does the site meet the criteria of the national register?”

COVID update

by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

Ventura County beaches to close July 3-6

Dr. Robert Levin, health officer with Ventura County Public Health, confirmed on Tuesday, June 30, that Ventura County beaches and parking areas will be closed for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. He said the closure will begin at 5 a.m. on Friday, July 3, and be in effect until 5 a.m. on Monday, July 6. Levin said the beaches are being closed because, “I feel it promotes disease transmission to allow larger gatherings of people than are desirable.”

A spokesperson for the City of Ventura said they will “support the [county] public health order for its beaches.”

A public health order has not yet been issued.

“Please only gather with the people that you live with. Your actions can help save lives,” said Rigo Vargas, director of Ventura County Public Health. “Visiting family and friends still presents a risk of spreading COVID-19. We know people are eager to go out, but we need to remind you on the importance of being safe and protecting yourself and others.”

Los Angeles County has closed beaches for the weekend.

This story will be updated on www.vcreporter.com as information becomes available.

Public comments reveal diverse viewpoints

During the June 29 meeting, over 20 speakers and 56 written comments were entered into the record. Most public comments focused on the previous listing of the Burro Flats rock painting site on the national registry, and that NASA’s attempt to expand the special district is actually an attempt to sidestep the required cleanup of the site.

“My dad worked for NASA...NASA is near and dear to us,” said Cindy Gortner of Oak Park.

But she felt NASA was a “bad actor” in this instance. She said the nomination application submitted was incomplete. “The 70-page nomination, they didn’t include anything about the toxic mess.” Gortner asked the CHB to postpone the district designation: “Public health and safety . . . come first.”

“I’m one of many parents who believe contamination at SSFL caused our children’s cancers,” said Melissa Baumstead, a resident of West Hills for 10 years. Her daughter has survived cancer twice. She called herself an accidental activist who was compelled to form Parents Against SSFL, and who started a petition demanding the full cleanup that has over 700,000 signatures.

Calling it “one of the most contaminated places in the nation,” Dr. David Hirsch discussed the history that led to the contamination at the site, noting that cleanup orders in effect required the site to be “fully cleaned up by 2017...All three parties have taken actions to break out of agreements.” He said the Indigenous sites on the land are already protected, calling the application “another excuse to breach it’s cleanup agreements.”

“We are truly conflicted about this Santa

The call to postpone the nomination to the national registry was echoed by many of those who spoke during public comment. But Buehner explained that neither “this board, nor the Board of Supervisors, has any authority to postpone this nomination . . . This is your opportunity to have input in that process. You have the choice to make a report or not to make a report.”

“Extreme and unnecessary cleaning up can cause exposure to more danger than it relieves,” said Bruce Rowe, professor emeritus of anthropology at Pierce College. He pointed out the “known potential for undiscovered cultural resources . . . that need to be preserved,” and that “in reality, the sacred lands area should be increased beyond the Santa Susana site.”

CHB member Stephen Schafer relayed an experience trying to save a structure in the Matilija Canyon area. According to Schafer, the contractor intended to use a bulldozer to “take off the first two feet of soil. It’s all or nothing . . . That’s what I’m worried about . . . After the clean up [the sites will be] wiped off the face of the Earth from the standpoint of the Indigneous people.”

“If the Acropolis was suddenly radioactive, it’s not any less significant,” Schafer continued. “We don’t want to burn down this [Indigenous] church in order to clean it up.”

Ventura County Public Health has clarified that no live music performances are allowed at restaurants.

The guidance issued June 29 states, “Establishments that serve full meals must discontinue this type of entertainment until these types of activities are allowed to resume modified or full operation.” It further clarifies that concert, performance and dedicated entertainment venues, “should remain closed until they are allowed to resume modified or full operation through a specific reopening order or guidance.”

No new closures in county

On Sunday, June 28, Gov. Gavin Newsom included Ventura County on the list of county’s that should close bars to help stem the increase in cases those areas are seeing. But county officials say the county hasn’t opened those types of businesses.

“We never opened the type of bars that the state just asked to be closed. We weren’t ready to take that risk yet. So when the state asked that counties close a certain type of bar, we didn’t need to because, out of caution and a reluctance to open businesses too rapidly, we never had,” said Dr. Robert Levin, health officer with Ventura County Public Health (VCPH), responding to the VCReporter via email on June 30. “We have done our best to balance the opening of our businesses with the maintenance of social distancing.”

On June 29, VCPH issued guidance and clarification for “all dine-in” businesses, including “brewpubs, breweries, bars, pubs, wineries and distilleries that serve food.”

Similar establishments that do not serve food may not be open at this time although outside vendors like food trucks can serve food at these locations provided “both businesses follow state guidance and alcohol is only sold

in the same transaction as a meal.”

The county guidelines asks businesses “to encourage takeout and delivery service whenever possible.”

Effective July 1, all businesses serving food must close dine-in services by 10 p.m. and limit each customer group to one and a half hours of dining time. Only household groups are allowed to sit together while dining. Live music is not permitted at any business.

View all public health orders online at: https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/public-health-orders/

No dining with non-household members

County officials reiterated existing social distancing orders requiring members of the public to only “gather with members of their household, remain socially distanced and wear masks in public spaces,” said Rigoberto Vargas, director of VCPH. “Community spread of infection is of increasing concern across the state and in Ventura County.”

That includes when dining at restaurants.

“Please use extreme caution as COVID-19 is still prevalent in our county. You are much more likely to run into someone who has no symptoms but is positive if you gather with others,” said Levin. “It’s important that we collectively work together to stop the spread so that lives can be saved, and businesses can remain open.”

Orders and other information is online at: www.venturacountyrecovers.org.

County numbers increasing

Over the weekend, 404 new cases were reported, with 70 people currently in local hospitals being treated for symptoms from COVID-19. But the county emphasized that of those new cases, 175 were tested on or before June 22.

1,042 people are under quarantine in the county due to exposure to a person who tested positive; 45 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died.

With 2,740 total positive cases from the 58,845 people tested, the county has a rate of 4.7 percent.

Residents are still encouraged to stay home when possible, wear face coverings in compliance with the statewide mandate, wash hands regularly and when they must go out to practice social distancing. Gatherings with people not in the same household are still not allowed.

176 people in farmworker housing test positive

The Ventura County Public Health department has reported an “outbreak” of 176 people testing positive in one farmworker housing complex in Oxnard. All 216 residents in the complex have been tested. 11 test results are pending.

Those who have tested positive are in their 20s and 30s, experiencing mild symptoms and under quarantine.

VCPH with the Ventura County Health Care Agency’s Backpack Medicine Team are providing assistance and guidance for residents of the housing complex.

“Our team responded immediately once we learned of this outbreak. We will continue to assist those who have tested positive and those who have been exposed. We urge everyone in Ventura County, ranging from individuals and families to business operators and community leaders to help us stop the increasing trend of community transmission of COVID-19,” said Vargas.

Golden State Killer pleads guilty

July 4 fireworks canceled

Will be sentenced to life in prison

Illegal fireworks use increasing around the county

O

n Monday, June 29, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr., 74, known as the Golden State Killer, pleaded guilty to over a dozen murders, kidnappings and several other uncharged crimes.

His guilty plea means he will serve the rest of his life in prison, without parole.

“Today’s hearing marks a tremendous moment in the lives of dozens, if not hundreds, of California citizens who were direct or collateral victims of this defendant’s crimes,” said Greg Totten, Ventura County District Attorney. “We left no lead uninvestigated, and we left no victim forgotten.” He said the county was “rocked by the brutal murders” of the Smiths in 1980. “Initially, evidence was thin and leads proved fruitless.

However, for over 40 years, law enforcement never gave up. Using the best technology and legal tools available, teams of investigators linked the Smiths’ murders to other murders and rapes around the state, and we put together a rock-solid case against this defendant.”

DeAngelo was arrested in 2018, three decades after the crimes were committed, after DNA evidence was used along with online genealogy information to link him to the long unsolved murders. Two Ventura County residents, Lyman and Charlene Smith, were killed by DeAngelo in 1980.

DeAngelo’s crimes began in 1975 when he was a police officer with the Exeter Police Department. His crimes continued after he was fired from the Auburn Police Department in 1979 and escalated from window peeping to stalking to rape and serial murder. His crimes were described in excruciating and exacting Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. in detail on Mon2018 booking photo. day during the hearing in Sacramento.

The court accepted the guilty plea to 13 felony counts of first-degree murder and 13 felony counts of kidnapping to commit robbery, which occured over a 13-year, multi-county crime spree across California. The final mur-

der occured in 1986. His crimes earned him the nicknames the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker and the Golden State Killer.

DeAngelo also admitted to 161 uncharged crimes related to an additional 61 victims.

The prosecution was handled jointly by district attorneys of the counties (Contra Costa, Orange, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Ventura) where the charged crimes took place. Uncharged crimes also occurred in Alameda, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Stanislaus, Tulare and Yolo counties.

Prosecutors consulted with the victims’ families in the decision to accept the guilty plea, taking into consideration the ages of the victims, witnesses and defendant.

In a statement released on June 29, DA Totten said, “The plea provided the victims and their families who were terrorized by DeAngelo the opportunity to hear him admit his crimes.”

A hearing is set in Sacramento on August 17, 2020, where victims will have the opportunity to provide impact statements.

Serra statue still stands Meeting set for July 7

by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

A

s of press deadline, the bronze statue of St. Junipero Serra still stands in front of Ventura City Hall amidst demands for it to be removed or taken down.

“In recent weeks, the City of Ventura has received a groundswell of feedback from the public on the Father Junipero Serra statue. We want the community to know that we are receptive to their concerns and seek to provide a peaceful environment where all voices are heard and respected,” said Alex D. McIntyre, city manager of Ventura. “This is an historic decision and must involve the voices of the Chumash tribe, the Mission San Buenaventura, residents of Ventura and the city council.”

A

s the Fourth of July approaches, residents across Ventura County will have to celebrate without any fireworks display.

Last week, Fillmore and Santa Paula — the only Ventura County cities still planning to host a show — announced that they were canceling fireworks out of concerns related to mass gatherings and preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

Even though Santa Paula had been working to promote a view-from-home show, local officials were grappling with potential crowds that would buck the ban on mass gatherings and show up in city parks and other public spaces to get a good view.

Unauthorized fireworks, however, are being set off across the county, with nightly rounds being reported from Ojai, Ventura, Oxnard, Santa Paula and Fillmore.

Possession and deployment of fireworks, other than the small popping and squealing type sold in grocery stores, is illegal in every part of Ventura County except within the city limits of Fillmore, which every year allows the sale of larger types of fireworks in a week-long fundraising event for nonprofit organizations based in the city. Those products sold in

The city has begun the formal process it says must take place to make a decision about the statue’s fate. First, on July 1, at 6 p.m., the city’s Historic Preservation Committee will review the landmark status of the statue. A statement released by the city clarifies that the committee “will not discuss if the statue should be retained or removed.”

Then on July 7 the Ventura City Council will receive public input and is expected to make a decision about whether the statue should be removed.

Ben Leaños, one of the local organizers of a June 20 protest demanding the statue be removed, said he’s not confident the city will decide to remove the statue. “They are dragging their feet.”

The July 7 meeting comes after the July 4 deadline set by some protestors for removal of the statue. “I’m worried about the people who wanted to tear it down, they asked for a deadline,” Leaños said, adding that the group of organizers he was with did not demand the deadline. “This is a worldwide uprising, time for Ventura to jump on it.”

He expressed concern that elected officials would make a decision with an eye toward reelection. “Politicians’ goal is to

Fillmore are illegal to possess outside of city limits.

Oxnard levies fines of $1,000 for possession of illegal fireworks.

The Santa Paula Police Department reported an increase in illegal firework activity within city limits and has responded by increasing patrols. On June 27, the unit focused on fireworks seized a cache of “Dangerous” brand fireworks and an active investigation is looking into the sale of these items in city limits. The SPPD emphasized that all fireworks, including “safe and sane” fireworks, are illegal in the city.

The public is encouraged to call the nonemergency number of their local police department to provide information on fireworks being set off.

secure their vote and secure power,” Leaños said. He thinks voting to remove the statue will be “an unpopular move” for city council members “given the city’s racist history.” He sees moving it to the San Buenaventura Mission as problematic also.

“I don’t want the mission to have it . . . They are not going to give it the full context of what he did, the crimes he committed.

The Catholic Church is not the place to learn about colonialism, slavery or rape or genocide.”

Statues of Serra are being torn down by public groups or taken down by churches and municipalities due to community outcry over the role of the missions in the decimation of Indigenous people and their culture. Statues were felled last week in Los Angeles, Carmel and San Luis Obispo.

Retro revival

Drive-In entertainment revs up this summer

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer

T

he drive-in theater is a blast from the past. Dating back to the 1930s (the first true drive-in theater opened in Pennsauken, New Jersey, in 1933), its heyday took place in the 1950s and ’60s, and the very notion of the drive-in brings up images of letterman jackets and poodle skirts. As televisions improved and VCRs made it possible to enjoy feature films at home, drive-ins declined in popularity, going nearly extinct in recent years. The few that have managed to survive through the decades — riding out the ever-cushier multiplexes as well as high-definition TVs, video on demand, prestige television and Netflix — owe their success more to nostalgia than anything else.

Until now.

The drive-in theater is ideal for these times, when social distancing makes many forms of nightlife outside the home unfeasible. And while Ventura County doesn’t have a traditional drive-in per se, promoters are finding ways to recreate the driveup experience for summer entertainment.

Canyon Carpool Events in Oxnard

The Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center (the PACC) offers a large parking lot and, now, a restaurant, and Lance Sterling plans to put both to good use this summer.

100 vehicles), there will be food and nonalcoholic beverages available for purchase at the newly established restaurant.

Patrons will be expected to wear masks while making purchases or using the restrooms. For the latter, Sterling said that, “We’ll limit the number of people [at one time] and increase the cleaning and shutdown every other stall.”

Sterling said that the series was designed to provide family-friendly fun for an entertainment-starved community this summer.

It’s also a way to experiment with a new operating model. “We figured, let’s figure out how we can make this work.”

“If it’s successful, we’re going to be able to operate it two or three times a week,” he continued. “As much as I can afford until I run out of money.”

Rubicon Goes Retro

Drive-in entertainment at the Ventura County Fairgrounds already debuted last weekend, with live performances from Super Duper Kyle and a live streamed concert featuring Garth Brooks.

Now, the Rubicon Theatre Company is getting into the action, presenting its series of musical theater Neil Diamond Tribute Band Fantastic Diamond headlines the first Canyon Carpool Event on offerings starting July 6.

July 5 at the PACC. Rubicon Goes Retro will operates a number of concert venues in Southern California feature Broadway stars entertaining drive-in (including Agoura’s Canyon Club) and also hosts events at the audiences with musical numbers from some PACC and Ojai’s Libbey Bowl. Starting this weekend, he’ll be of the best-loved productions, including offering a series of Canyon Carpool Events at the PACC with Jersey Boys, South Pacific and Forever concerts, films and more.

The first event is a music and movie night on Sunday, July 5.

“Very soon after the sheltering began, Festivities kick off at 5 p.m. with live music from Dr. T and the we began looking for ways to share some Blues Criminals and Kelly’s Lot, followed by Neil Diamond joy and healing in this time,” said Karyl tribute band Fantastic Diamond. After that, Oxnard Musical Lynn Burns, the Rubicon’s co-founder and Youth Theater’s O’My Party Starz will perform music from producing artistic director. “We first started the Disney animated feature Frozen, followed by a screening of Frozen II. The entire lineup can be safely enjoyed from the looking at streaming options but it’s sort of the Wild West out there . . . Live is really comfort of a vehicle — free of charge.

While there’s no cost to attend the first-come, first-served what we’re about.” event (Sterling estimates that the lot can accommodate about 10 —

After hitting on the idea for a “drive-in

theatre concert series,” Burns and co-founder Jim O’Neil began talks with Ventura County Fairgrounds CEO Barbara Quaid.

They also got in touch with Vincenzo Giammanco of CBF Productions (the company behind the California Beer Festival), who was already developing his Concerts in Your Car series (the Super Duper Kyle show was its first).

“I reached out to ask if there might be a way to cross-promote and Vincenzo very kindly called back right away,” Burns recalled. “A lot of the costs for us were tied to setting up and taking down the stage and bringing the equipment in and out.

It made sense for us to essentially sublease from them on their off-nights. They’ve been amazing friends and partners in this.”

Rubicon Goes Retro runs through early September. In addition to musical theater luminaries, folk rock veteran Jim Messina will take the stage Aug. 17-19, joined by “stars from The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles and, of course, Kenny Loggins,” Burns said.

Safety protocols being followed include spacing cars six feet apart, selling tickets exclusively online and scanning them through car windows. Bathrooms and concessions won’t be available, although guests may bring food from home or a local restaurant.

Local brands taking up the gauntlet include Char Man (Ojai), Hillgrillies BBQ (Santa Paula), Red Hot Foods (Santa Paula) and Santa Paula Salsa Co. Pre-judging is already underway to narrow the field to 18 sauces, which will be available to the public for tasting (and People’s Choice voting) on Sunday, July 5, 3-6 p.m. at Holdren’s Steaks and Seafood in Newbury Park. No reservations are necessary and it’s free, as is the live-streamed festival on July 11 — although a $5 donation is required to vote for best hot sauce bottle label and be entered for prize drawings.

“The Festival Box is something that allows people watching at home to taste along. That makes you part of it. It’s helping to defray some costs and raise funds, too.”

McBride notes that Hot Summer Night is, first and foremost, a fundraiser. “The concept first came about two years ago after the Thomas Fire . . . Hot sauce resonates with fire, and we wanted to support our fire fighters and first responders.”

Net proceeds benefit Rotary charities, first responders and the Grossman Burn Foundation, based in Calabasas, which supports treatment, care and support for burn survivors and their families.

ADVICE GODDESS

Doom Raider

I think the guy I recently started dating might run in the same circles as my ex. (He’s said a few things that led me to think that.) This terrifies me because I really do not like my ex and don’t want there to be any overlap in our lives. I keep having nightmare scenarios play out in my head where I show up to the bar after my new guy’s poker game and my ex is there. What can I do if this happens?

— Distressed It helps to suddenly become British when you run into someone you dread seeing, because a posh British accent is ideal for conveying a polite greeting like: “What a surprise. I was

by amy alkon

sure someone would’ve poisoned you by now, or at least electrocuted you in the bathtub.”

What doesn’t help is ruminating on how you’ll feel if you do see your ex. Unfortunately, our mind is not our BFF, and it has a habit of sending us off in directions that cause us needless suffering. For example, we are our own worst emotional fortunetellers, or in psychologists’ terms, we are crap at “affective forecasting.” (“Affect” is a fancy-schmancy researcher word for moods and emotions we experience.)

Social psychologists Sarit Golub and Daniel Gilbert find that we tend to overestimate how bad some future event will make us feel. This overblown prediction of how miserable we’ll be in the future serves to bum us out in the present. Accordingly, the researchers observe that “it may be” as the Stoic philosopher Seneca noted nearly 2 million years ago, “He who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.”

When the ex pops up in your head, instead of rerunning your usual social horror movies, recognize that you have what it takes to deal with whatever comes your way. After all, what’s the worst thing that’s likely to happen,

an uncomfortable silence preceding an uncomfortable moment greeting each other? (This is rarely fatal.) Keep reminding yourself of this whenever dread arises, and though you might never become a pillar of chill, you should find your overall level of hysteria dialed down considerably.

Eventually, if your paths do cross, you should be able to stand there like it’s no big deal, which suggests you are barely cognizant of his continued existence...in a way running outside and hiding between parked cars like it’s a hostage crisis just can’t.

Undercover Smother

I’m a 33-year-old bisexual female manager, and a co-worker seems to have an intense crush on me. She invites me out for drinks and buys me little gifts (a teddy bear, chocolates, flowers, a heart-shaped necklace). I make excuses to get out of drinks and show no enthusiasm for the gifts, but the more I don’t show interest, the more obsessed she seems. How do I get her to stop without making it awkward?

— Disturbed It’s really uncomfortable when any conversation she has with you

includes the breathy subtext: “I like your outfit. I’d like it even more if it were in a pile on the conference room floor.”

It’s possible she’s experiencing limerence, a constant, obsessive romantic longing for another person that leads to often-smothering acts intended to get that person to reciprocate. Though limerence can seem like a form of love, love involves concern for the other’s feelings and well-being. In limerence, the limerent person’s target is a love object they’re pursuing: the romantic obsession version of a dirty tennis ball a dog’s chasing that never rolls to a stop.

However, there is a way out. Psychologists Albert Wakin and Duyen Vo explain that “limerence is sustained and fueled by uncertainty,” which heightens the limerent person’s hope as well as their cravings for emotional reciprocation from the object of their obsessive desire. They add that “the limerence reactions tend to dissipate in conditions where there is complete certainty,” whether it’s “absolute reciprocation or the other extreme of absolute rejection.”

The kindest thing you can do (for yourself and for her) is help her give

up hope — immediately, lest Tacky Gift Mountain start growing a twin peak. Take her aside and say: “I just want to clear up any possible misunderstanding. I’m not interested in ANY relationship beyond being co-workers.” If she tries again or the gift barrage continues, tell her again in unambiguous language (providing the necessary “absolute rejection”). Don’t explain why. You are not interested in her. Period. Revealing this to her will surely be awkward, but it gives her the “complete certainty” she needs to escape the claws of limerence and, best of all, before you run out of excuses to escape her regular “Wanna go for drinks after work?”

You: “I have to feed my cat.”

Her: “I thought your cat died last year.”

You: “I have to feed its ghost.” © 2020, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Aries author Marge Piercy writes, “The people I love the best, jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows.” The Aries people I love best will do just that in the coming days. Now is not the right time to wait around passively, lazily hoping that something better will come along. Nor is it prudent to procrastinate or postpone decisions while shopping around for more options or collecting more research. Dive, Aries, dive!

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip by Bill Watterson. It features a boy named Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes. In the first panel of one story, Calvin is seated at a school desk looking perplexed as he studies a question on a test, which reads “Explain [Isaac] Newton’s First Law of Motion in your own words.” In the second panel, Calvin has a broad smile, suddenly imbued with inspiration. In the third panel, he writes his response to the test question: “Yakka foob mog. Grug pubbawup zink wattoom gazork. Chumble spuzz.” The fourth panel shows him triumphant and relaxed, proclaiming, “I love loopholes.” I propose that you use this scenario as your victorious metaphor in the coming weeks, Taurus. Look for loopholes! And use them to overcome obstacles and solve riddles.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“It is a fault to wish to be understood before we have made ourselves clear to ourselves,” wrote philosopher and activist Simone Weil. I’m hoping that this horoscope of mine can help you avoid that mistake. In the coming weeks and months, you will have a stronger-than-usual need to be seen for who you really are—to have your essential nature be appreciated and understood by people you care about. And the best way to

16 —

make sure that happens is to work hard right now on seeing, appreciating, and understanding yourself.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Some readers wish I would write more like Cormac McCarthy or Albert Camus or Raymond Chandler: with spare simplicity. They accuse me of being too lush and exuberant in my prose. They want me to use shorter sentences and fewer adjectives. To them I say: It ain’t going to happen. I have feelings similar to those of best-selling Cancerian author Oliver Sacks, who the New York Times called, “one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century.” Sacks once said, “I never use one adjective if six seem to me better and, in their cumulative effect, more incisive. I am haunted by the density of reality and try to capture this with ‘thick description.’” I bring these thoughts to your attention, my fellow Cancerian, because I think it’s important for you to be your lavish, sumptuous, complex self in the coming weeks. Don’t oversimplify yourself or dumb yourself down, either intellectually or emotionally.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Travel writer Paul Theroux has journeyed long distances by train: once from Britain to Japan and back again, and then from Massachusetts to Argentina. He also rode trains during part of his expedition from Cairo to Cape Town. Here’s one of his conclusions: “It is almost axiomatic that the worst trains take you through magical places.” I’d like to offer a milder version of that counsel as your metaphor for the coming weeks: The funky, bumpy, rickety influences will bring you the best magic.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Philosopher Miguel de Unamuno declared,

“Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.” This idea will be intensely true for and applicable to you in the coming weeks, Virgo. It will be your sacred duty—both to yourself and to those you care about—to enlarge your understandings of how the world works and to push your awareness to become more inclusive and empathetic. What’s your vision of paradise-on-earth? Now is a good time to have fun imagining it.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

What do you want to be when you grow up, Libra? What’s that you say? You firmly believe you are already all grown up?

I hope not! In my vision of your destiny, you will always keep evolving and transforming; you will ceaselessly transcend your existing successes and push on to accomplish further breakthroughs and victories. Now would be an excellent time to rededicate yourself to this noble aspiration. I invite you to dream and scheme about three specific wonders and marvels you would like to experience during the next five years.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has advice that would serve you well in the coming weeks. She says, “Keep a little space in your heart for the improbable. You won’t regret it.” In accordance with your astrological potentials, I’m inclined to amend her statement as follows: “Keep a sizable space in your heart for the improbable.

You’ll be rewarded with catalytic revelations and intriguing opportunities.” To attract blessings in abundance, Scorpio, be willing to set aside some of your usual skepticism and urge for control.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Author Malidoma Somé lives in the U.S. now, but was born in the West African country of Burkina Faso. He writes, “In the culture of my people, the Dagara, we have no word for the supernatural. The closest we come to this concept is Yielbongura, ‘the thing that knowledge can’t eat.’ This word suggests that the life and power of certain things depend upon their resistance to the categorizing knowledge that human beings apply to everything.” I bring Somé’s thoughts to your attention, Sagittarius, because I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will encounter more than the usual number of experiences that knowledge can’t eat. They might at times be a bit spooky or confounding, but will mostly be interesting and fun. I’m guessing that if you embrace them, they will liberate you from overly literal and materialistic ideas about how the world works. And that will be good for your soul.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Pioneer Capricorn scientist Isaac Newton is often hailed as one of history’s greatest geniuses. I agree that his intellectual capacities were sublime. But his emotional intelligence was sparse and feeble. During the time he taught at Cambridge University, his talks were so affectless and boring that many of his students skipped most of his classes. I’ll encourage you to make Newton your anti-role model for the next eight weeks. This time will be favorable for you to increase your mastery of three kinds of intelligence beyond the intellectual kind: feeling, intuition, and collaboration.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

When future writer (and Aquarius) Charles Dickens was 12 years old, his parents and siblings got incarcerated in a debtors’ pris-

on. To stay alive and help his family, he took a job working 12 hours a day, six days a week, pasting labels on pots of boot polish in a rotting, rat-infested warehouse. Hard times! Yet the experiences he had there later provided him with rich material for the novels that ultimately made him wealthy and beloved. In predicting that you, too, will have future success at capitalizing on difficulty, I don’t mean to imply you’ve endured or will endure anything as harsh as Dickens’ ordeal. I’m just hoping to help you appreciate the motivating power of your challenging experiences.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Maybe you feel that the ongoing pandemic has inhibited your ability to explore and deepen intimacy to the degree that would like to. But even if that’s the case, the coming weeks will provide openings that could soften and remedy your predicament. So be extra receptive and alert to the clues that life reveals to you. And call on your imagination to look for previously unguessed and unexpected ways to reinvent togetherness and tenderness. Let’s call the next three weeks your Season of Renewing Rapport.

Homework: Decide on three special words that will from now on serve as magic spells for you. Keep them secret! Don’t even tell me. RealAstrology.com.

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.
