NEWS “The rebirth of our harbor”

by Kimberly Rivers

A

Residents on board with visioning for Channel Islands Harbor

kimberly@vcreporter.com

A concept rendering for a public promenade area included in the Channel Islands Harbor Visioning Plan.

t a June 22 meeting of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, residents — in a noticeable shift of sentiment — expressed excitement and positivity about the future of Channel Islands Harbor and Fisherman’s Wharf in Oxnard.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” began Audrey Keller, chair of the Channel Islands Neighborhood Council, speaking during public comment at the meeting. She directed her thanks to Ventura County Harbor Department Director Mark Sandoval, Ventura County CEO Mike Powers and all stakeholders in the now-concluded Visioning Process for the harbor.

“The residents are on board. We are part of the solution.” She said residents “can’t wait for the rebirth of our harbor.”

Sandoval, who will be retiring at the end of August, presented the Vision Report on behalf of the Visioning Steering Committee. He thanked the “hundreds of residents who provided feedback throughout the entire process,” and said the process included more than just the six “opportunity parcels” — parcels at the Fisherman’s Wharf area of Channel Islands Harbor that have lease agreements that are either being renewed or up for renewal in the near future and present an opportu-

nity for the harbor to promote development that meets the goals of the vision.

The report summarizes various ideas, including a marine education center and aquarium, dining and a bed and breakfast at the site of the Whale’s Tail restaurant. For the Fisherman’s Wharf parcels, possibilities include an economic “anchor” business and a boutique hotel, waterfront living, public market and performing arts center. At the Anacapa Boatyard parcel, a hospitality center, retro-trailer and small houseboat bed and breakfast concept was included.

Ideas for public thoroughfares and areas include wider, comfortable waterside promenades, a multiuse trail on the perimeter of the harbor, and reconfiguring Victoria Avenue to be more pedestrian and visitor friendly.

Previous efforts at developing these parcels lacked this type of community visioning and the result was outcry from many residents about previous plans that they felt did not address their concerns or properly align with the purpose of the harbor.

Sandoval called the currents ideas “a great development opportunity” that could “change the face of the harbor,” explaining the process included visioning for

the public spaces and roadways with a goal of creating a design plan that will make the area “a place to be.”

“It is an irreplaceable public venue,” said Rene Aiu of the Harbor and Beach Community Alliance and a member of the steering committee. She cited the “permanency of most development,” and asked the supervisors to ensure that the 35-year-old public works plan for the harbor be updated as part of the redevelopment process and expressed a critique that the steering committee operate more as a “focus group.” She said she hoped for future public input as well as plans are being developed from the Vision Plan.

Sandoval said that an update of the public works plan is part of the recommendations of the Vision Plan.

Wendy Lee, a 47-year resident of the area, pointed to the harbor as a “public serving” asset and that aspect should be maintained with any development plan. Key aspects of that use include public venues, walkways and improved waterfront access.

Supervisor Linda Parks noted the “huge turnaround in the relationships. You can just see it.” This was in contrast to past interactions where residents expressed frustration at plans that did not take their concerns into account.

Next steps include a formal and competitive Request for Proposals from developers for the six parcels, refining the planning and development process for the harbor, developing a financing strategy for the public areas and updating the local coastal plan. The RFP process is likely to start in the next few months.

Sandocal concluded, “Much work is needed to polish this jewel.”

But now it seems all parties are moving on the same tide.

The visioning process was conducted by Sargent Town Planning. The visioning report is online at www.channelislandsharbor.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/ CIH_Visioning-Report_FINAL_June-14-2021-compressed-1.pdf

County hiring new Harbor Director On June 23 Ventura County announced that Mark Sandoval, current director of the Ventura County Harbor Department, will be retiring from his post on Aug. 31, 2021. The county has begun a search for his successor.

In a written statement released by the county, Sandoval cited a recent health issue as having “accelerated my retirement.”

He will be moving to Alabama to be closer to family.

Sandoval has served in the post since mid-2018 after managing the city of Long Beach’s waterfront for close to 20 years.

VC COVID Update

by Kimberly Rivers

Few Delta cases in county

As of July 4, 10 cases of the Delta variant of the novel coronavirus have been detected in Ventura County, according to Dr. Robert Levin, medical officer with Ventura County Public Health.

He said some patients are now being tested using whole genome sequencing.

“Experience is now accumulating worldwide that people who have been vaccinated can become infected with the Delta variant but are not becoming very sick, and for the most part are not being hospitalized or dying,” he said via email to the Ventura County Reporter. He referenced July 6 reports that, “In June, many of our infections in the United States, up to 20 to 40%, were already due to the Delta variant,” and could have been prevented if those people had been vaccinated.

The county is essentially back to normal, with most businesses

open to the public. Some government offices and processes are among the last to fully open: Public meetings with city councils and county supervisors are still mostly online, and the Ventura County Superior Court still has many trials on hold.

Testing continues, still free for some

As of Friday, July 2, the county was reporting 63 new cases of the coronavirus and 10 people requiring hospitalization due to the virus, with one person needing ICU care.

County testing is free when “medically necessary,” such as when people are displaying symptoms of COVID-19 including fever, cough, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, nausea or diarrhea.

The tests are now being conducted through 360 Clinic on behalf of the county. Testing sites are being transitioned over to 360 Clinic.

Individuals seeking testing as required for travel or to attend events and other non-medically needed purposes are no longer

eligible to receive free testing but can pay for testing through COVID Clinic, a Ventura County partner.

Results on all tests are being returned within 1-2 days.

For locations and information with 360 Clinic free testing, call 833-817-7217 or visit https://360clinic.md.

Those needing to be tested for both medical or non-medical reasons are encouraged to make an appointment, but it is not required. For more information about COVID Clinic and to book a test, visit https://covidclinic.org/.

A private company, Curative, is also offering free testing at two locations in the county on Wednesday through Sunday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., using the shallow nasal PCR test.

Regulatory relief for treated wood disposal about to become permanent

S

David Goldstein

ometimes, even the leader of an environmental organization opposes regulations making disposal too difficult.

This week, Doug Kobold, executive director of the California Product Stewardship Council, told me why his organization, which is on the forefront of legislative efforts to protect the environment by holding retailers and manufacturers responsible for the environmental costs of their products, supported issuance of variances allowing some landfills to continue accepting treated wood waste.

“We supported variances because, honestly, at this point, the best place for treated wood waste is a landfill,” said Kobold. “And if you make it too difficult to dispose, you end up with treated wood dumped on the sides of the roads or illegally burned.”

Previous regulations allowing treated wood waste to be handled with alternative management standards expired at the end of last year.

Without these alternative standards, hazardous treated wood waste managed in California had to be stored and manifested as hazardous waste and transported to a Class I hazardous waste landfill.

There is only one such landfill in the state that

In Brief Local K9 team on Top Dog

The outcome of a television competition will determine whether Senior Officer Danny Cason of the Oxnard Police Department will retire. He told producers of the A&E series America’s Top Dog that he’s always said he’ll retire when he wins the Top Dog title.

Cason and his partner, K9 Capone, appeared Tuesday night (July 6) in a competition for the barking rights associated with being named the country’s Top Dog. Capone is a 5-year-old Belgian Malanois and is the fifth working police dog with which Cason has worked. Capone is trained to be “dual purpose” and works patrol, SWAT and narcotics. Capone also speaks French; Cason had to learn the necessary commands in French to work with Capone.

Top Dog competitors are judged on speed, agility, teamwork and trust.

The show aired after print deadline. Tune in online to see if Cason can finally retire: www.aetv.com/shows/americas-top-dog.

could accept the materials.

As the deadline for the expiration of the alternative management standards approached without a legislative or regulatory solution, contractors began rejecting jobs expected to generate treated wood waste, and industrial generators prepared to stockpile. Projected costs for managing treated wood rose from around $80 per ton to what Kobold estimated would be around $500 per ton for transport and authorized disposal.

Addressing the problem, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, with existing legislative authority and following strict rules, issued new variances, a system that had not been used since before 2008.

Locally, Toland Road Landfill did not obtain a variance, so treated wood waste is not allowed for disposal there. But the Simi Valley Landfill did obtain a variance and now charges $83.50 per ton to accept treated wood from Ventura County and $87.50 to accept it from outside Ventura County. Waste Management, which operates the Simi Valley Landfill, will accept only pre-approved loads of treated lumber, so customers must make arrangements prior to delivery by calling 805-579-7267 or obtaining pre-approval County seeks hazard mitigation input

Ventura County is seeking public input on the update to its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), a multijurisdictional effort overseen by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services with over 20 planning partners, 10 cities, special districts and the Ventura County Office of Education.

The plan’s goal is to inventory all potential hazards in the county and assess all associated risks. Examples include risks to resources, like water, energy, air quality and critical infrastructure. The plan will also develop mitigation methods to reduce risks and help assure an organized recovery when the next area disaster occurs.

A public survey is currently active, and has just 116 responses as of press deadline.

A steering committee has been formed and comments and questions should be directed to Bonnie Luke, oil and gas program manager with the Ventura County Planning

of the load online at www.wmsolutions.com.

Variances are valid for six months and can be renewed only once, so generators and landfills are depending on legislation for a longer-term solution. Such legislation (Assembly Bill 332) is expected to arrive on the governor’s desk for final approval within the next few weeks.

For other materials, high disposal costs are sometimes seen by recyclers as beneficial, since cheap disposal can be a disincentive to reuse or recycling. This is not the case with treated wood, however, because reuse is limited and recycling is not viable.

Pressure treatment forces chemical preservatives into the cellular structure of wood. These chemicals are undesirable in mulch or compost, so if your scrap lumber is lined with tiny holes or stained green, these indicators of pressure treatment should prevent you from placing the wrong types of wood in your local curbside yard waste cart.

Reuse of pressure treated wood is also problematic. Cutting and sanding require precautions to avoid breathing the sawdust, which is considered toxic by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, although some home

improvement websites say a dust mask, safety goggles and a shower afterward are adequate to ensure safety.

Municipally sponsored household hazardous waste collection events are also an alternative for disposal of treated wood waste, and to homeowners, such events may look like a no-cost option. However, using these events is actually the most expensive way to handle the material, and the cost is placed on refuse rate payers whose fees pay for these programs. According to Don Sheppard, who manages Ventura County’s Pollution Prevention Center, located between Ojai and Ventura, household hazardous waste management contractors charge over $60 for each vehicle arriving at the event, and they would charge their cost plus 20% to accept treated wood, package it, haul it to an authorized site, and pay the fee for the site to accept the material.

The center received no treated wood during the past year, according to Sheppard.

Details and the survey are online at www.readyventuracounty.org/localmultijurisdictional-hazards-mitigationplan-update/.

According to port officials, the deepening increases the allowed berth of docking ships by 35 to 40 feet. This means more cargo can fit in one haul, reducing the number of trips needed to move goods.

The removed sand, approximately 390,000 cubic yards, is being used to enrich area beaches.

Deepening finished at Port of Hueneme

On June 28 the Port of Hueneme celebrated the completion of two decades of work that deepened the harbor by 40 feet.

At a celebration at the port, Congresswoman Julia Brownley was thanked for her efforts to obtain the $20 million in federal funds for the dredging portion of the project.

The project was funded by a $12.3 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to deepen the harbor. The deepening project totaled $10.4M: $3.6M from the Port of Hueneme/ Oxnard Harbor District and $6.8M combined from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Naval Base Ventura County.

David Goldstein, environmental analyst with the Ventura County Public Works Agency, can be reached at 805-658-4312 or david. goldstein@ventura.org.

Petition in support of funding wildfire crews

State Assemblymember Steve Bennett is asking constituents to sign a petition in support of raising over $14 million for fire crews in six counties, including Ventura County, who contract with CalFire to provide fire response and perform fuel reduction work. The petition will be presented to Gov. Gavin Newsom and other legislators.

The petition is online at lcmspubcontact. lc.ca.gov/PublicLCMS/ADInfo/einvites/ AD37/4881_Wildfire_Crew_Funding.html.

ast week the small town of Lytton in British Columbia had record breaking temperatures of 121 degrees. The area flooded as local snow packs rapidly melted, overrunning local rivers and streams, and then a lightning storm caused a fire that decimated the town. Two people died. It might sound like fiction concocted in Hollywood, except that it’s real. It’s climate change.

Governments at all levels are grappling with their role in combating and adapting to the changing climate. People are calling for changes on many fronts, with tension between those pushing for strong, effective climate action and those who seem to be rooted in extending the status quo of a fossil fuel-based economy.

Meanwhile, local oil and gas companies are working to maintain profits and reassure investors — some of whom may be looking at renewable investment options. Even as Ventura County and some local cities have passed “climate emergency” resolutions, they have been faced with lawsuits when attempting to make tangible changes to policy or pass ordinances that turn those resolutions into actions.

How do local governments “think globally but act locally” when grappling with the waning giant of the fossil fuel economy, a keystone of the founding of Ventura County and a cornerstone still of the local economy? And could there be a role for the fossil fuel industry in responding to a rapidly warming planet and rising carbon levels?

These questions lack fast or easy answers, and some aren’t waiting for local government to act. Private residents, businesses, school districts and colleges are moving ahead, even as rebates and incentives may be watered down.

County shortens oil drilling permit horizon

Signaling a new precedent in permitting for the local oil and gas sector, Ventura County has reduced the standard length of an oil and gas extraction Conditional Use Permit (CUP) from over 20 years, down to 10.

CUPs are used to govern oil extraction as well as things like wedding venues, exotic animal keepers, horse boarding facilities and other uses of properties that are different from the original intended use. The CUP process allows the county, as a representative of the public, the discretion to either approve or deny the use and, if approved, to place conditions on that use to protect public health, safety and the environment.

On June 22 the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, in a split 3-2 vote, bucked staff recommendations for a 20-year horizon for the Agnew oil and gas lease and instead approved a 10-year permit for the ongoing operation.

Supervisors Kelly Long, Bob Huber and Matt LaVere voted to grant the permit, with Linda Parks and Carmen Ramirez voting no, expressing a desire for stronger climate action and protections for the public related to potential future costs of plugging idle wells.

The 10-year permit horizon is unique in the county among CUPs that govern oil extraction; 25 to 35 years is more typi10 —

cal for active permits that have expiration dates.

While the operations on site will not change, the vote signals a shift.

“Carbon has trimmed this [project] back considerably,” said Neal Maguire, an attorney with Ferguson Case Orr Paterson of Ventura, representing Carbon California, the oil company currently operating the Agnew lease. According to the company’s website, Carbon California is managed by the publicly traded Carbon Energy Corporation, headquartered in Denver.

Maguire said the requested operations at Agnew are now at the “baseline” used in the environmental review that was conducted.

In 2013, when Carbon California first applied to renew this permit, it sought to drill more wells. But legal action from Climate First: Replacing Oil and Gas (CFROG) forced the county to perform a more thorough environmental review of the project and compelled the company to reduce its project to the status quo, albeit incorporating some activity that violated conditions of the previous permit. The permit now allows three existing oil and gas wells, a methane flare for burning off excess methane gas, and a total number of 22 trucks (oil tanker and maintenance) each week to use Koenigstein Road to access the oil lease site.

The original CUP governing use of the site was granted in 1976 and did not allow regular use of the flare or the road.

The flare was only allowed for emergencies; a pipeline was supposed to be used to move gas from the site for sale, rather than allowing it to be burned off as a waste product. Trucks accessing the site were to use an alternate route to reach Highway 150. When the permit was renewed in 1983, the flare was still not authorized by the county.

“But previous operators worked with the [Air Pollution Control District],” to obtain a permit for the flare, explained Jane Farkas, director of land and regulator affairs with Carbon California, to the supervisors on June 22.

The flare was installed in 1996 by then-operator Mirada Petroleum, a Santa Paula-based company, which sold a portion of the Agnew lease (among several others) to Carbon California in 2017. While Mirada had been able to obtain a permit for the flare from the Air Pollution Control District (APCD), that permit was granted in violation of the CUP. In 2019 officials at the APCD admitted the agency had erroneously granted a permit for a flare at the Bentley lease, another oil extraction site, off of Creek Road in Ojai, without confirming the governing CUP allowed full-time use of the flare.

Both leases demonstrate a pattern of the APCD not prop-

erly vetting permit requirements prior to granting use of flares. Officials at the agency previously told the supervisors they are now checking all CUPs to ensure APCD permitting aligns with county permit conditions.

Mirada and then Carbon California operated the flare on the Agnew lease in complete violation of the county CUP from 1996 until June 22, 2021 (wells were idled during permit renewal process). This year’s permit approval abates 25 years of permit violations.

haven’t had to grapple with before.

Public input sought on future of Rincon Island

A case in point regarding idle oil wells is Rincon Island.

California taxpayers will have paid the nearly $60 million bill to properly plug the 27 onshore and 50 offshore wells that were abandoned after the operator, Greka Oil and Gas, filed for bankruptcy in 2016.

The first phase, plugging the wells, is complete and now the State Lands Commission (SLC) is seeking public input on the next phase to determine what will become of the island.

An online public meeting was held on June 23 to provide information on options for the island and to receive public input.

Phase 2 includes developing the plan for what happens tot he island. Options include decommissioning the island, the onshore facilities and the causeway connecting the island to the shore or repurposing the site for another use. This phase also includes a feasibility study and other documentation required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The phase began in March, and is expected to take six months.

The SLC reports it will be conducting “targeted outreach to environmental justice organizations” and will be contacting local tribal governments. A draft feasibility study for the potential options will be released for public comment, then

Margy Gates: 1932-2021

The Buenaventura Art Association announced in June the passing of one of its longtime members, Margaret “Margy” Crawford Gates, at the age of 89.

Gates was a BAA Honorary Lifetime Member and a gallerist for more than 35 years. For 26 years she lived aboard a sailboat in Channel Islands Harbor, starting in 1977, and moved to Hollywood Beach in 2002.

She painted and made ceramics at a studio gallery, first located at Marine Emporium Landing and, later, near Mrs. Olson’s Coffee Hut on Los Altos Street. Her final space, the Sea Gate Gallery, was on Ocean Drive near the Rudder Room. After “Allison’s Reef II,” closing that gallery in 2015, she continued making art at home. watercolor by the Gates was frequently inspired by the natural world, flowers and the ocean environment in particular. She also had a fascination late Margy Gates. for archeology and Indigenous cave art, and studied the cave paintings of France as well as those of the local Chumash Indians.

Photo submitted She served as a resident artist at the BAA’s Harbor Village Gallery and Gifts in Ventura Harbor in 2016 and 2017.

Gates passed away peacefully in her sleep on May 30, surrounded by family. Her work and spirit will be sorely missed, both within and outside of the local art community. www.buenaventuraartassociation.org

Anderson .Paak joins OPAC board

Grammy award-winning singer, rapper, songwriter, record producer and drummer Anderson .Paak has joined the Honorary Board of Directors for the Oxnard Performing Arts Center. .Paak, a native of Oxnard, has been one of the venue’s biggest, and probably most famous, supporters. In 2018, he celebrated the release of his album Oxnard with a free carnival and concert at the performing arts center (back when it was called “The PACC”) and was in talks to use the space as the Ventura County base for his .Paak House initiative, which would provide community outreach, after school programs and a “safe haven” for youth. It was also hoped that .Paak’s involvement would save the PACC from budget-induced closure.

While much of that didn’t come to pass, PACC — later called OPAC — managed to survive, bolstered in part by the involvement of concert promoter Sterling Venue Ventures (of The Canyon Club). .Paak’s support of OPAC, however, has never wavered, and his role on the board can only mean good things for the venue.

“It is such an honor to be able to give back to my hometown, so I am delighted to join the Honorary Board of Directors fo the Oxnard Performing Arts Center,” .Paak said in a statement shared via email by OPAC. www.oxnardperformingarts.com.

The Ojai Performing Arts Theater has welcomed two new members to its board of directors. Jane Weiler Weil — known for her work with the Weil Tennis Academy and as president of the Ojai Unified School District — will become the organization’s first chief operating officer. Michal Gaidano, who has worked with the Ojai Film Festival, the Ojai Art Center Theater and OjaiCares/Breast Cancer Awareness, will assist with special events and other functions.

“The addition of these two talented women to the board of directors broadens our scope of work capabilities,” said Joan Kemper, founder and CEO of OPAT. “We are all excited to have them on board as we chart new destinations for OPAT and the future of theater in the Ojai Valley.” www.ojaitheater.org.

Music Notes

Festival a go-go

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer

P

nshaffer@timespublications.com

eople are coming out and music is on its way back in — both on outdoor patios and inside local venues with indoor sound stages. Concert promoters were waiting in the wings for June 15 to make (most) COVID-19 restrictions obsolete, and once that deadline passed, they wasted no time getting summer music festivals and concert series back on the calendar.

Camarillo Community Band, July 8-29

Last week, the Camarillo Community Band began playing once again, and will continue to offer free concerts at Constitution Park (corner of Carmen Drive and Paseo Camarillo) every Thursday in July. And when they say “community,” these musicians mean it: Every week, children in the audience “conduct” the band, using an “offical” Camarillo Community Band baton. Any adult who plays a band instrument is welcome to join — although they must attend the rehearsals prior to a concert. In addition, high school students may audition to join the band (and are required to attend all rehearsals). To audition, call 805-530-6370 or email camarillocommunityband@gmail.com. www. camarillocommunityband.com

Ventura Music Festival, July 23-25

The Ventura Music Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the year under normal circumstances. This year, the celebrating is going to be epic. Singer-trombonist Aubrey Logan, Italian classical guitarist Andrea Roberto and fusion trio Time for Three (Charles Yang and Nick Kendall on violin and Ranaan Meyer on double bass — all three sing vocals as well) are on the lineup, which promises a mix of pop, jazz, classical and more. The festival will take place over a single weekend (July 23-25) rather than two, and all performances will be held in Oxnard at the Pacifica High School Performing Arts Center. Tickets are available online or by calling the box office at 805-648-3146. Take note: VMF has stated that “this is a 100%-vaccinated event. Plan to upload ‘proof.’” Assistance will be available for anyone experiencing difficulties with the process. www.venturamusicfestival.org

Tequila and Taco Music Festival, July 24-25

If you love Mexican food, margaritas and music, you won’t want to miss this annual festival, held this year at the Ventura County Fairgrounds courtesy of Surfer’s Point Live (formerly Concerts in Your Car). Vanilla Ice and Ozomatli will be the headliners, but Tag Team, Adelaide and a Selena tribute band will perform as well. Also on the menu: gourmet street tacos, craft beer, local vendors and top-shelf tequila tasting. Tickets range from $20-$45, and parking is $20. Dogs are not allowed, but kids 12 and under are free, although you (obviously) 18 —

have to be 21+ with ID to purchase the festival’s alcoholic specialties. www.surferspointlive.com

Summer Concert Series at Constitution Park, July 24-Sept. 4

The Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District and the city of Camarillo will once again offer the much-loved Summer Concert Series every other Saturday starting in late July.

Gold Rush Country kicks things off on July 24, followed by Twisted Gypsy (Fleetwood Mac tribute, Aug. 7), Smith The Band (Aug. 21) and Raymond Michael (Sept. 4). Performances are free of charge and take place 5-7 p.m. on the lawn of Constitution Park on the corner of Carmen Drive and Paseo Camarillo. Feel free to bring blankets, folding chairs and a picnic (food trucks will also be available onsite). Seating is first-come, first-served, but residents may save a spot by placing chairs on the lawn no earlier than 8 a.m. the day of the concert. www.pvrpd.org

High Street Arts Center’s Legends Series, Aug. 13-Sept. 4

From the Beatles to The Boss to the Man in Black, Moorpark’s High Street Arts Center will host a series of tribute bands for its revived 2021 Summer Concert Series. Tickets are are on sale now for The Bruce Springsteen Experience (Aug. 13), Ticket to Ride (Beatles tribute, Aug. 14), Chicago Tribute Experience (Aug. 27), Raymond Michael (Elvis tribute; Aug. 28), The Who’s Zeppelin Show (Sept. 3) and the Mighty Cash Cats and Silver Threads (Johnny Cash, Linda Rondstadt tributes; Sept. 4). All shows start at 7:30 p.m.; tickets $35. www.highstreetartscenter.com

The Throw Down Cornhole Tournament and Music Festival, Aug. 27-29

Surfer’s Point Live offers three days of music, merriment and bean bag throwing at what it calls the “world’s largest cornhole tournament!”

On Friday, Aug. 27, Dave Rey and the Acoustic DNA Project and Mandex (a 1980s-flavored rock experience) will take the stage. Saturday, Aug. 28, it’s all about the tribute bands, which will play favorites from AC/DC, Journey and Guns N’ Roses. www.surferspointlive.com

Ojai Music Festival, Sept. 16-19

Summer will technically be over following Labor Day Weekend, but locals know that Ventura County summers linger into September and October. Thus, it’s worth announcing now that the Ojai Music Festival (the 75th) will take place mid-September. Featured artists include Timo Andres, Rhiannon Giddens, Francesco Turrisi, Mirando Cuckson, Anna Margules, Julia Tumamait, Víkingur Ólafsson and Attacca Quartet.

entura’s Front Street has a casual-but-happening vibe. Not quite beachside, but close to it — you can take the “people bridge” from Ash over the 101 freeway to the Ventura Pier. But before you do, you should definitely check out the cafes and shops that dot this five-block neighborhood that has become a popular hangout for those needing a break from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

Among the eateries, stores and even a brewery (Transmission) is one excellent little gem that makes for a great start to the day: Frontside Cafe. Open for breakfast and lunch, it has plenty to recommend it: a great coffee bar, warm-from-the-oven goodies in the bakery case, a dog-friendly patio to enjoy the ocean breeze and ample indoor dining as well.

Arriving for breakfast one weekday, the first thing I noticed was how clean, bright and fresh everything felt.

Admittedly, it is a fairly new restaurant — just opened at the end of 2020, in the space formerly occupied by Traveler Cafe. There’s aluminum siding on the outside (more modern and chic than industrial — much to my surprise), and indoors it’s all white walls, light wood and woven lampshades. Hints of bright blue and sand give it a distinctive “beachy” atmosphere — suitable for its surf-adjacent location.

Smashed avocado toast with a poached egg.

Cheddar chive biscuit.

The menu is a mix of California cuisine and Australian specialties (owing to the influence of owner Charne Huff, who hails from Down Under). Granola, acai bowls and avocado toast sit next to Aussie meat pies and “brekkie rolls” (eggs, bacon, tomato, arugula, gouda and a chili jam mayo). For lunch, there are hearty salads, a burger and a chicken katsu sandwich with Japanese curry. Yum!

I had, however, also ordered the avocado toast — and while it was probably more than I needed, it did not DWs Country Cafe 2x6.indd 1 disappoint.7-8 Thick slices of hearty bread were toasted and smashed with fresh avocado, which was then topped with a market’s worth of produce: radishes, watercress, sprigs of dill, pickled vegetables, all as artfully composed as a still life painting. It was seasoned with dukkah, a Middle Eastern blend of nuts, herbs, seeds and spices. (The flavor put me in mind of an everything bagel.) Perched delicately on top of one slice was a flawless poached egg, which oozed delicious golden yolk at the touch of a fork.

Wonderful to eat and healthy, too.

Frontside Cafe isn’t a stuff-yourself-silly kind of place — although you certainly won’t go hungry. The portions are generous without being insane, hearty but not heavy, savory but not party-in-your-mouth zesty.

Pastry temptations notwithstanding (and that bakery case does beckon!), the fare is light, fresh, healthy (mostly) and ideal for breaking your fast with nourishment and flavor. Paired with the mellow morning ambience, a meal here will set a positive tone for the hours ahead. The very definition of a great start.

by amy alkon general, the more “up there” in years women get, the more they find their standards for a partner in need of relaxing — in the direction of “not currently incarcerated and has at least a weak pulse.”

Brothel, Where Art Thou

When Hair Gel Met Sally

OFFER ENDS: 12/31/21

I’m a 28-year-old woman. My boyfriend of three months is a great person, and I started to think he might be The One. However, he got a new haircut — one that had him using excessive gel. Looking at him, I felt a wave of revulsion and needed to get away...permanently. I don’t understand the sudden change in my feelings.

— Disgusted You, like many women, want a man who appears to have the grooming routine of a golden lab: running across the lawn when the sprinklers are on and then shaking off.

Many women find it disturbing when a man spends more time in the bathroom or uses more “product” than they do. Evolutionary psychology research suggests we women evolved to seek a man who will protect us — as opposed to one who’ll fight us to the death for the last of our poshbrand conditioner.

Sure, hair gel could be the “gateway” goop to your dude dolling up with Fenty eyeshadow, contour foundation, and sparkly self-tanner by the weekend. But chances are he just went heavy on the stuff because he’s a first-timer at using it.

And chances are your sudden extreme reaction is not about him but about you — and probably your panicking at the prospect of commitment. Commitment involves finding not the perfect right person but a right enough person at the right time, observes clinical psychologist Judith Sills. Being ready for a relationship is a key factor. This requires getting yourself “sorted,” as the Brits say, meaning developing both self-respect and self-acceptance, including a realistic and self-compassionate understanding of your limitations.

Sensing that you “could be lovable in the eyes of another person,” leads to a shift, explains Sills. “You stop being so critical of a potential partner’s shortcomings and begin to appreciate his or her strengths.” This doesn’t mean you are “without anxiety or ambivalence” — wanting and not wanting a relationship at the same time — but readiness for a relationship helps you push through those feelings.

If you aren’t yet ready, you should make that clear to men you date. If becoming ready will require some personal development work, you might want to hop on that. In

My male roommate began having women over for one-night stands almost daily, even meeting one for the first time at our apartment with no heads-up for me. I’m a woman and very careful about whom I have over: usually only friends I’ve known for a while.

I’m uncomfortable having my space constantly intruded on by strangers, but he seems surprisingly unaware of this.

— Unsettled You need a needlepoint for the kitchen wall: “Home sweet sex den.”

People who live with roommates tend to make allowances for the occasional drunken hookup — even those that end with some stranger in their kitchen drinking their OJ out of the carton. However, when there’s a new hookuperella every few mornings, it crosses a line.

It’s a shared space. You agreed to share it with your roommate, not your roommate and half of local female Tinder. His behavior calls to mind “the tragedy of the commons,” ecologist Garrett Hardin’s term for individuals with access to a shared space trashing it or taking more than their fair share of resources, ruining it for everyone. Hardin was referring to public land and, say, one farmer letting his sheep eat all the communal grass, leaving only dirt for the other farmers’ hungry sheep, but it seems to apply to your situation.

Granted, the resources being depleted here are not tangible (grabbable, like grass). However, they’re highly valuable and are generally understood to be benefits of renting an apartment — including a level of privacy and the sanctity (aka safety) of “home” and the peace of mind that comes with each of these.

Now, it could be argued that no guest policy was spelled out. However, most people know roommates won’t be happy with a revolving cast of sex-providing strangers marching through their home. Chances are your roommate is counting on your being too uncomfortable to speak up — which means there’s no reason for him to stop.

Explain how unsettling it is for you to constantly have these strangers in your place — people he barely knows — and ask him to think on it and propose a solution. Should he suggest, “You just hafta suck it up” or close, tell him straight up what you need (which might ultimately be “a new living situation”). If you wanted to encounter strangers in your kitchen at 6 a.m., you’d live in a bad neighborhood on the first floor and leave a window wide open. (c)2021, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.
