OPINION Editorial

No one to blame but us “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” — Edmund Burke The United States has garnered quite a reputation for protecting the rights of children, from strict child-labor laws to steep punishment for child pornography, and custody battles whereby the court seeks to ensure the best homes for children. There are also highly impassioned people who will go to great lengths to protect fetuses in this country. On the other end of that spectrum, the U.S. is breaking new ground: People caught entering the country are irregularly being subjected to criminal prosecution and having their children — including extremely young children — taken away from them as a result, according to United Nations spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani.

The policy to separate children from their families, which had, for over a year, been discussed within the Trump administration but delayed in implementation because of how controversial it was, was enacted early May as a zero-tolerance approach when it comes to illegally crossing the border. It was supposed to act as a deterrent to families seeking entry into the U.S.; but in action, it’s simply inhumane and cruel. According to the Department of Homeland Security, from May 6 to May 16,658 children were taken from their parents. It’s unclear how many parents were deported before being reunited with their children, but it is happening.

“Little kids are begging and screaming not to be taken from parents, and they’re being hauled off,” Lee Gelernt, an attorney for the A.C.L.U., told the Washington Post.

Further, U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, tried on June 3 to enter a detention center in Texas, filming the effort via Facebook live, but was turned away at the entrance and told by police that he had to leave. So not only are parents and children being separated, but the conditions of their detention are unclear. An image of two girls lying on the floor of a cage similar to an animal shelter kennel at a bor-

Letters A few facts about teacher pay Mr. Moomjean’s column, “Right Persuasion” is absolutely right in concluding, “Our teachers, celebrities and presidents won’t save us,” (May 10). As a former teacher among three generations of teachers, I say it will be good if the public takes that to heart; teachers already have more than enough to do, just to facilitate learning.

A few facts for all of to think about: 1. When we see our teachers’ monthly salaries stated, do not multiply by 12. Most teachers get only 10 checks per calendar year.

2. When striking teachers are finally granted 4— — June 7, 2018

der detention center recently went viral to reflect poor conditions of these immigrant children, but that picture was actually taken in 2014 when President Barack Obama was in the White House. It reflected a true-life situation of immigrants being detained, but officials explained that it was during the time when tens of thousands of children were coming to the U.S. from South America and agents were trying to unite the girls in that picture with family members. At this point, with so much substantial fear over the worst-case scenario happening under Trump, the general public is just trying to grasp what’s really going on and how bad it is.

In trying to get into the mind-set of people who willingly agree to do this, i.e., those who objectify undocumented immigrants as nothing more than criminal elements, we need to open our eyes to a much bigger problem. The decay of our society isn’t Trump. It’s not federal agents trained and paid to obey orders. It’s not people who support Trump or Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. It’s each of us accepting the idea that not all humans have the same value and the indifference of not challenging that idea. While the United Nations may be calling on the U.S. to stop this cruel act of separating children from their families, what exactly are we as individuals condoning by doing nothing? It’s hard to know how to combat this illness of indifference, but at least becoming aware of it and being sensitive to the cruelty of such isolation for young children is the first step.

Voting against leaders who support these sorts of policies is the next step, along with supporting people and organizations that will fight for the rights of these children, is going in the right direction. But the most critical step is how we treat each other.

If we improve our relationships with our families and friends, if we treat each other with respect and dignity, perhaps that will trickle into other arenas of American society; and the U.S. won’t be a focal point for human cruelty on the world stage.

a “20 percent pay raise,” be aware that they will not be given a 20 percent increase in their monthly pay check when they return to work. Such raises are generally “spread over” a stated number of years. That is, the raise may not add up to 20 percent until years down the road. Also, a governing body may “authorize” such a raise, but “funding it” must still be accomplished.

3. A strike is generally a last resort, after months or years of attempted negotiating have failed. When a strike is called, it is sometimes the last step before teachers begin leaving a district or a state for other teaching jobs, or leaving the profession altogether. Mr. Moomjean himself left the profession after “almost a decade.”

4. The public does not often pause to consid-

er that a teacher pays the same price for groceries, gasoline, rent or mortgage, and their own children’s expenses, as anyone else.

5. Sometimes we see a chart showing that teachers’ wages are higher than the average for the entire U.S. population. Be aware that the proper comparison would be, not to the entire U.S. population, but rather to those workers who are college grads with the equivalent of a master’s degree.

6. Do some teachers take on one, or even two, “moonlighting” jobs to make ends meet? Yes. Does that circumstance give the teacher enough non-classroom time to check papers and thoroughly prepare their lesson plans for each day? No. 7. Are teachers in rural states — those currently striking — at a disadvantage in “moonlight” opportunities, which pay a wage that is comparable to regular classroom hours? Yes, I was born in a rural state; my hometown had no summer school and no adult school, and my state had no community colleges. Moonlighting consisted of such things as bar maid, working at a beer-bottling plant, unloading boxcars and selling insurance to one’s former students.

So, let’s give our own children an objectlesson: When our child expresses surprise at seeing a teacher in a supermarket or gassing up their car, let’s tell him or her, “Yes, teachers have all the same expenses we do.”

Right Persuasion

Jordan Peterson: conservative Superman

by Paul Moomjean

paulmoomjean@yahoo.com From that fateful day in June 2015 when Donald Trump announced his candidacy until today there has been a strong “Never Trump” movement led by conservatives like George Will and Bill Kristol. Then there are the rabble-rousers like Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter, who championed Trump from day one and defended every useless tweet and racist remark. Somewhere in between were people like radio talk-show host Dennis Prager, who became a fan of the bombastic president after the election, and the more pragmatic conservatives like Ben Shapiro, who praise what they like and jeer what they don’t. All of this bickering created a vacuum in layman leadership, and that is where the new poster boy of the right came up: Canadian professor Jordan Peterson.

With all these voices, the lines of conservatism are blurring and fighting, but once you cut the fat, the truth is that the Party of Lincoln might become the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt.

The Republican Party has been having an identity crisis for a while since Barack Obama won in 2008; and since then it has tried to be “a party” instead of a true conservative movement. This has allowed the bullies to take over.

Of course, President Trump got support from

Coulter and Hannity; they are verbal bullies just like him.

The intellectual right denied Trump its support because of his tactics. A decade ago Will agreed that conservatives should have a core message: “Conservatives tend to favor freedom, and consequently are inclined to be somewhat sanguine about inequalities of outcomes.” Today, the GOP doesn’t seem to have a political philosophy beyond “just win.” This allowed for Trump to be against real immigration reform and true free

‘‘

Younger men, who should be liberals, are finding themselves feeling slighted,; too libertarian for leftists and too liberal for the older GOPers.

That is where Peterson jumps in like a conservative Superman to save the day. His breath of fresh air YouTube lectures are going viral with a simple message: Just grow the hell up and look at the facts around you.

Christianity Today notes that he’s wooing evangelical college men. “I think [most people] see him as, essentially, get up with your shoulders

The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.”

trade because he was going to be the best shot.

Trump’s supporters tend to be older white males and married women. They want to see the America that the 1980s promised them. They want technology to slow down. They are tired of having to walk on egg shells because of political correctness, which really means wanting identity groups to quiet down and stop demanding genderneutral pronouns and transgender rights.

– Jordan Peterson straight, be responsible, don’t be that 30-year-old whose parents are trying to evict him right now on CNN, and be responsible for your life,” said Wyatt Graham, the executive director of the Gospel Coalition Canada.

Peterson is also what conservatives used to be: truth-telling realists reminding us that life is hard, evil exits, and that there are no easy answers wrapped in a government tote bag, like a

modern-day Teddy Roosevelt.

On meaning: “The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.” Meanwhile both parties are promising safety they can’t guarantee.

On evil: “I don’t think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil.” Remember, the left thinks people are basically good and that society is what is harming them.

On critical thinking: “In order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive.” This goes against the messages being taught on PC college campuses.

If you want to know what true conservatism is, don’t look to the GOP; instead, look to Peterson. He isn’t very political, though he addresses the philosophy behind political issues from the gender wage gap to transgender pronouns. He addresses the facts and then gets out of the way.

Conservatism isn’t just issues; it’s a way of life. It’s a reminder that you have responsibilities to tame yourself and challenge yourself to think beyond feelings. Conservatism isn’t just about being anti-abortion and anti-tax hikes. It’s about freedom. Freedom from government, yes, but also freedom from trying to make life pain free.

Power to Speak

Bobby Kennedy in Ventura “I worked for Bobby … .”

Sometime in the early ’90s I met RFK Jr. after a speech he made. My wife at the time knew this would be an emotional moment and stood aside. I approached Bobby Jr. and shook his hand, “I had the pleasure of working for your Dad in California, and the sadness of being near him when he was killed. ALL of us who were there would have gladly taken the bullets to see him live. He was TOO important to lose! I NEVER felt that way before or after him!” Bobby Jr. grasped my hand harder as his eyes filled as did mine.

“You can’t know how much that means to our Family!”

After MLK was murdered I sat after a hard day campaigning in the office we rented near LACC. I looked at Ira Goldstein (who was later severely wounded in the pantry) and said “You know they will probably try and murder Bobby too! We need a Gestapo to protect him!” Ira looked at me sadly, “Yeah.”

June 4, 1968, was a hectic day for me. I had finals the next day and I was blowing them off to campaign. I was supposed to meet a fellow “Students for Kennedy” worker at the Ambassador that evening but she never showed so I went to the Embassy Room at around 7 p.m. When Bobby finally made his victory speech I was exhausted but asked an aid, “Where is Bobby coming down after the speech? I want to shake his hand.” The aid told me that he expected him to exit to the far side of the stage and I moved there. But Bobby darted under a gold curtain. Seeing I would miss him, I bolted onto the stage, went under the curtain and sprinted down a dark ramp toward a lit open door.

Just as I arrived at the pantry door I hear a loud noise and saw a flash on the ceiling before me in the pantry. Then a flurry of other noises and a flash of something next to my head on the door frame, the spark crossing my face.

I stood in shock and horror as people ran past me. Then a man looked at RFK continued on 8

news In Brief HACKERS GAIN ACCESS TO OXNARD UTILITY SYSTEM, MAKE FRAUDULENT PURCHASES

Migrant workers, hit hard by both the Thomas Fire and Montecito mudslide, are a population still in need of financial assistance in their recovery due to being ineligible for Federal aid.

A tale of two recoveries

Funding disparity for undocumented victims of Thomas Fire, surplus for others

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

A

s of June 1, The Thomas Fire has been officially declared out by Los Padres officials, but the scars, and some families in need of assistance, still remain. Particularly hit hard and still in the process of recovering: migrant workers and undocumented immigrants who were not able to apply for federal assistance.

While a lack of funding keeps migrant families on a long wait list, a surplus of funds remains elsewhere. The United Way of Ventura County says that residents who lost their homes to the fire claimed just $320,000 of $500,000 available in immediate aid and only $500,000 of $1.5 million in hardship funds made available for housing assistance during what it dubs as Phase 1 and Phase 2 of fund disbursement. Longterm recovery effort funding, a little over $2 million, will include rental assistance and temporary support of housing, and will begin to be disbursed during Phase 3, according to VC United Way CEO Eric Harrison.

“I think it’s important that the community understands that the Phase 3 funds will be spent and invested,” said Harrison. “100 percent will go to those affected by the Thomas Fire and [Montecito] flood.”

Harrison cites a lack of awareness of how to and where to apply for assistance as reasons why there remain funds, pointing toward websites that show over a dozen charities available. He says that the funds remaining from Phases 1 and 2 will be “leveraged,” some already in the process of being dispersed, including in the form of a $300,000 donation to the 805 Undocufund.

Lucas Zucker, policy and communications director for the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), has been seeking funding for the 805 Undocufund, a grant-based initiative to assist undocumented immigrants and migrant workers who were affected by the Thomas Fire. For these families,

6—

— June 7, 2018

federally funded assistance programs are unavailable due to their immigration status.

The Undocufund, modeled after a similar fund set up in the wake of the Sonoma fires in early 2017, is a joint effort by the coalition of Future Leaders of America, Central Coast Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) and Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP).

CAUSE has hosted clinics to serve families in need, and in February, hosted a clinic at which 82 families were granted funds, totaling $143,600 in financial assistance. On average, a family receives $1,750, ranging from $500 to $3,000. The fund has already provided $630,000, assisting near to 400 families.

Zucker says that 1,200 families remain on the waiting list, however, adding that as fast as donations arrive, they are disbursed.

“We’re spending as we go, we don’t have very much,” said Zucker. “We’re spending as fast as we’re raising it.”

Harrison says that the VC United Way board has approved $300,000 in donations to the Undocufund, just one way that the remaining funds will be invested.

“There is still tremendous need; for the Undocufund alone they have 1,000 people waiting, so we will be able to leverage those funds,” said Harrison.

Additionally, an influx of money came from a benefit concert hosted by Katy Perry in February at the Santa Barbara Bowl, from which Zucker says the fund received between $100,000 and $150,000.

Zucker says that the longer removed from the fire, the harder it is to get donations.

“We need to raise over $2 million based on our current average grant size to serve the 1,200 families on our waiting list,” said Zucker. “I’m hoping we can get another little spurt of awareness with six months after the disaster follow-up stories. Unfortunately, a lot of the national attention has moved on and so there’s not really a new influx of funds.” ✦ For more information on the 805 Undocufund, visit www.805undocufund.org.

The city of Oxnard alerted residents the last week of May about a security breach involving its online utility payment system, which allowed for several fraudulent purchases to be made on cards used in the system.

City officials say that they were alerted on May 25 by a banking institution when several of its customers experienced fraudulent charges after having used the Click2Gov online payment system. The city reported the issue to the Police Department, which then outsourced the investigation to a third-party electronic forensic firm that determined that a vulnerability in the software allowed access to the credit card processing system by unauthorized individuals.

Several days later, another vulnerability was found, and the city shut the system down so that new security measures could be implemented.

The city believes that only residents who used the system to make credit card purchases between May 26 and May 29 have been affected, with card numbers, expiration dates and customer names potentially stolen.

Customers should review account statements and report unauthorized charges to the card issuer.

VCSTAR RELOCATES

The offices of the Ventura County Star located at 550 Camarillo Center Drive in Camarillo have been shuttered as of May 28, as the county’s daily paper relocates to a smaller location on East Daily Drive.

The move was preceded by an office furniture sale. In 2016, Virginiabased Gannett, parent company of USA Today, purchased the Ventura County Star after acquiring the Star’s parent company, Journal Media Group, which owns 14 other daily newspapers.

VETERANS GAIN GREATER ACCESS TO CARE VIA VA EXPANSION

Veterans enrolled in the Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System will now have access to urgent care as part of a Department of Veterans Affairs program expansion.

Veterans in need of urgent care must first gain authorization from a triage nurse by telephone before being referred to an urgent care center in their community. The VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System includes most of Los Angeles, Kern and some of Ventura Counties.

“Veterans in southern Ventura County, north Los Angeles County and northeastern Kern County can now participate in the new initiative,” said Ann Brown, system director. “We are proud to extend urgent care services in these regions.”

Veterans may be referred to the urgent care centers in dealing with

minor infections and injuries. The partnership, says Brown, is meant to assist patients with after-hour and weekend urgent care needs.

Veterans must call the Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 Telephone Advice Nurse Call Line at 877-252-4866 for an evaluation prior to receiving treatment.

ALL CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST OJAI MARIJUANA CO-OP DIRECTOR The CEO of a long-embattled Oxnard medical marijuana delivery service is celebrating a decision by Ventura County prosecutors to drop all charges against her after nearly two years of legal battles.

Chelsea Sutula, president and CEO of Sespe Creek Collective, says that she shouldn’t have had to be celebrating in the first place.

“People assume, when you are arrested, that you must have done something wrong. I’ve done nothing wrong, actually,” said Sutula. “There’s a wide and very false perception that dispensary owners are rich. I invite these people to do a little homework on what it’s actually like to try to get a small business going in what is now the most heavily regulated industry in the U.S.” Sutula had been charged with two felony counts of perjury, making false statements on a business license application, and transportation and sale of a controlled substance, which was reduced to a misdemeanor charge with the passage of Proposition 64.

“The drug war is sadly alive and well here in parts of Ventura County,” said Sutula. “My one night in jail pales in comparison to what low-level nonviolent offenders go through every day.”

TRITON FLIGHT OPERATIONS BEGIN AT NAVAL BASE PORT HUENEME

Look, in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s an MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system making its inaugural flight above Naval Base Port Hueneme, where Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, was on hand to see it off.

Brownley, who was key in securing funds for the research and development of the Triton in Port Hueneme, said that doing so had been a “top priority” for her.

“When fully developed, this program will bring hundreds of jobs to Ventura County, bringing the added benefit of boosting our local economy,” said Brownley on Thursday, May 31, at a ceremony held on the base.

The Triton is the latest in the Navy’s unmanned aerial vehicle fleet, which will assist in maritime intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as aid in humanitarian and disaster relief across the globe.

Grand Jury Roundup

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com The 2017-2018 Ventura County Grand Jury has been releasing reports and findings on everything from taxes to wild animals. The jury findings, while only recommendations, are used by county officials in crafting ordinances and regulations.

To read Grand Jury reports in their entirety, visit www.ventura.org/grand-jury and click on “Fiscal Year 2017-2018.”

TAX INCREASE AT SEABRIDGE COMMUNITY FOUND UNNECESSARY

Residents of the Seabridge Community adjacent to Channel Islands Harbor can feel justified in lodging complaints regarding an increase in taxes after the Ventura County Grand Jury released results of a study revealing the tax increases to be unnecessary.

Homeowners in the neighborhood have experienced tax increases up to 27 percent in a reserve fund under what is known as Community Facilities District No. 4. The city says that the reserve funds were meant to be set aside for “extraordinary or infrequently occurring expenses.”

The Grand Jury, however, found that the city of Oxnard had seen an increase of 18 percent

in dues from the County of Ventura regarding extra services provided at the harbor and that the city had failed to properly budget to accommodate those fees. Further, reasoning used by the city to increase the taxes, including capital equipment, parks landscaping, hardscaping and structure repair as well as storm drain filter replacement by the county Harbor Patrol, are ordinary expenses.

The city cited the potential for an increase in cost in providing dredging operations through the Army Corps of Engineers as well, but the Grand Jury found that in the history of Seabridge, no such increase has ever occurred because the Corps is providing the service free of charge.

WILD ANIMALS AS PETS TAKEN TO TASK IN THOUSAND OAKS

In the summer of 2017, while casually driving through a Thousand Oaks neighborhood, a driver came upon a deadly cobra. The venomous snake was promptly squashed, which led to an investigation by the Thousand Oaks Police Department and the subsequent arrest of Todd Kates, charged with 26 misdemeanor counts of Fish and Game Code and California Code of Regulation violations.

The Grand Jury investigated the city of Thousand Oaks’ policies and regulations regarding keeping wild animals in the city

after the incident with Kates. Since 2014, several high-profile incidents involving snakes, reptiles and even alligators have called into question the city’s relationship with the Los Angeles Department of Animal Control, which is contracted with the city to handle its animal control services.

The jury found that the role of the LADAC is confusing, resulting in gaps in enforcement.

The jury also found that there exists a lack of ongoing communication among the city, county and state regarding the permitting of wild and dangerous animals.

In addition to the lack of communication, the jury found that there is a “lack of will to enforce or prosecute municipal code violations.”

The jury recommends that the city be more proactive in enforcing and prosecuting municipal code violations and to consider establishing a process so that the city knows when a resident applies for a permit to keep a wild or dangerous animal in the city with the State Fish and Wildlife. Currently, there is no requirement that the city be notified of that.

COMPETITIVE ELECTIONS IN SPECIAL DISTRICTS NONEXISTENT SINCE 1970

The Grand Jury, investigating the transparency and public accountability of Ventura

County special districts, has found that five of these independent districts have not held public competitive elections since 1970 and one has not held a public competitive election since 1960.

Ojai Water Conservation District, Oxnard Drainage Districts No. 1 and No. 2, Pleasant Valley County Water District and Saticoy Sanitary District have all been found not to have held elections to fill vacant seats since 1970; and the last known recorded election for the Hidden Valley Municipal Water District was in 1960.

Typically, if a board member resigns near the end of the term, the board appoints a successor to serve the remainder. The successor then becomes the incumbent at reelection time, gaining the advantage of being the incumbent on the ballot. If there is no challenger, no election is held.

The Jury recommends that all independent special districts reach out to the community, notifying residents of opportunities to serve on the boards, and that they discontinue the practice of appointing new board members months before the election. Further, the jury found that many of the boards did not have a website and recommends that they all get one replete with detailed information on their duties, structure and contact information. F

Kindness Corner GRAPEFRUIT GALORE Food Forward, a Ventura County nonprofit, received over 11,000 pounds of grapefruit on May 20, equating to 285 cases, and donated it all to Moorpark Catholic Charities, the United Methodist Church of Thousand Oaks, Santa Clara Valley Neighborhood for Learning, Simi Valley Community Garden Pop-Up Produce Market and Resurrection Church. On June 3, volunteers returned to finish off the rest of the orchard in Somis, collecting another 10,000 pounds of the tangy fruit. Since 2009, Food Forward has collected 80,000 pounds of grapefruit from this single orchard, grown for donation by the owner.

BAA’s plans include a large, flat-screen television with AV hookups to screen art-related videos for informal gatherings and discussions, and to present slideshows of previous exhibits.

CLOSED

The whimsical eatery Wicked’s Brew at 4561 Market St., Ventura, has closed for “restructuring.”

THOMAS FIRE

The Economic Development Collaborative — Ventura County (EDC-VC) received $200,000 from Gene Haas Foundation and $250,000 from Pacific Western Bank to help

businesses impacted by the Thomas Fire. The funds launched a loan fund that benefits undercapitalized and disadvantaged businesses affected by the fire and subsequent mudslides that may not qualify for commercial credit. … The Ventura Education Partnership for Thomas Fire victims received a total of $10,000 from the Rotary Club of Camarillo. Half of the funds were raised when members “passed the hat” at a meeting in January, which their Foundation matched. … The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Ventura received 200 bikes from The Specialized Foundation through its one-for-one donation program; for every Specialized Riprock, Hotrock or Hotwalk purchased nationwide, the Foundation matched and donated a bike to Boys & Girls Clubs affected by natural disasters. The donated bikes (for Boys & Girls Clubs kids and other children, nonprofits and Ventura families affected by

the Thomas Fire) were assembled in less than three hours by over 40 volunteers led by specialized experts.

CCU held a proclamation and flag-raising ceremony to celebrate.

ANNIVERSARY

The Santa Monica Mountains Fund recently hosted a party to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The 153,000acre mountains form the largest urban national park in the country; they are next to the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by freeways, with 17 million people living within a one-hour drive. Funds raised at the event will support efforts toward wildlife conservation, nature education and trails management in the Santa Monica Mountains.

CHOIR! CHOIR! CHOIR!

Continued from Page 5 me and he screamed, “GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!” I ran through a side door back into the Embassy Room where it was quiet.

I was in shock as I mounted a table and a man next to me motioned with his hand to his head like a gun. Steve Smith begged, “Is there a doctor in the house?” The room exploded in shock, not having any idea what had transpired in the next room. I went to a teletype operator and asked him if there was any news? “Where you in there?” he asked. “Yes!” “Was there any blood?” he asked and I cussed at him and left.

Leaving the Embassy Room they were bringing out Sirhan, two LAPD officers with shot guns holding him, Jesse Unruh clinching his collar. A man screamed, “Get the bastard! He shot Bobby” and ran at them. The officers had him on the floor in second with a butt to his groin. When I arrived downstairs Rafer Johnson was coming out of the elevator and I asked him, “Is Bobby OK?” He looked stunned and answered “I don’t know!” It’s hard to describe the utter hopelessness of what we felt like after Bobby died.

I lived in the Hollywood Hills in what is called “Pill Hill” because so many doctors lived there. One neighbor was a Dr. Doyle and his kids were my friends. One day when I visited his home he took me aside. “Roger I know you worked for Bobby Kennedy. It was MY team that tried to save him! I wasn’t there, but I know the doctors who were! I know this hard to hear but he was better to have died! The damage was too extensive and EVEN IF we had have saved him the prognosis would have been very grim indeed! He would have been a vegetable!”

The LAPD called me weeks later and telephone interviewed me then sent me a nice letter, thanking me for the help. I worked in Watts with the Revitalization Corps painting elderly people’s homes and taking kids to the mountains and beaches. We worked with the consent of the Black Panthers who supported our efforts.

It was a tearful time as each time any resident asked us “white kids” what the hell we were

I have a true personal story to tell about that fateful day June 5, 1968, about Bobby Kennedy’s visit to the Buena Ventura mall. What a surprise to open the May 31 copy of the VC Reporter and find the photos and article of Bobby Kennedy’s visit here 50 years ago!

When I heard Bobby Kennedy was coming through Ventura to speak on his way to Los Angeles, I thought it would be a great idea to see a Kennedy in person and be able to hear him speak. I and my 6-year-old son arrived early that day and stood on the sidewalk bordering the parking lot that he would be speaking from, when suddenly there was commotion from the street and as I looked ahead, there was the Kennedy car caravan coming toward us. After the car passed us and we saw Bobby in the one vehicle, we quickly walked across the parking lot to the stand that was set up with microphones and waited right up front for his arrival. We were within arm’s reach of him standing there trying to speak when all of a sudden a fellow started yelling abusive statements at Bobby regarding the multiple pregnancies he was causing his wife.

A climber friend of Bobby’s, can’t remember his name, found the fellow and dispersed him without further problems.

The air suddenly became heavy and uncomfortable with words being thrown around so I decided it was time to leave as the mass of

doing in Watts I’d say “I worked for Bobby … .”

Never got the whole name out when they would tear up and I’d break down crying.

I dumped my studies at Art Center College of Design and moved to New York and took up Poly Sci at SUNY Binghamton. One night in 1970 Rennie Davis of the Chicago 7 was on campus and we met in a dorm. He began telling us about how we needed you take up violence to end the war and bring down the “pigs”! I looked at him and calmly just said “NO!” He gasped and asked why. “I was less than 10 feet from Bobby Kennedy when he was murdered! That’s why! I’ve had my fill of violence!” Rennie’s face turned red and he looked at me near tears. “You don’t have to explain anymore!” Quietly everyone left the room.

For the past 50 years I’ve been interviewed and written about in books because “You saw a bullet hit that only the FBI acknowledges and it proves there were more than one gunman!”

Those of us who were there know that! We know who murdered Bobby. He’s still alive, I believe, but revenge is pointless. It won’t bring back Bobby and the trail would lead to too many unsavory outcomes. In Poly Sci we studied Roman law. When someone was murdered the Roman’s did NOT ask, “Who did this?” They asked “Who profits from this?”

After Bobby was gone and in my utter hopelessness I looked at a photo of Ethel and the kids, “11 kids and NO Father!” I moaned to no one. Then it hit me “They can’t kill ALL of us!” A Byrds song became my mantra “Going Back.” Eventually I became a US history teacher and special ed teacher.

One summer I was doing a part-time job in an automotive oil change business. A former Afghan student came in and spotted me. “What are you doing HERE, Mr. Katz?” I laughed and told him teaching alone doesn’t pay the bills! A coworker chimed in insultingly, “I bet you don’t remember anything he told you in JUNIOR HIGH!” My former student now in a university smiled and said “I remember EVERYTHING Mr. Katz told us ESPECIALLY about the Kennedy’s.” What more validation can one get?

Roger Katz Ventura

people was terrifying and closing in on those of us in the front rows. It was difficult getting my son and myself through the crowd but we managed after what seemed like forever and I was able to relax outside the throng of people.

I was happy to be able to hear some of Bobby’s speech.

On June 5 while watching television from my home, suddenly a message came across the screen that stated Bobby Kennedy had been shot and of course later the news came that he was dead. I was stunned, thinking just a few days ago, I saw this man in person right here in Ventura and now he is dead.

Of course the Star Free Press edition had a photo of Bobby Kennedy at the Buena Ventura mall and as I scanned it, I saw myself right up front but my son being so small didn’t get in the photo. I had long hair at the time and had a white or light color head band on. It almost seemed unreal the following days after this tragedy. One had to reflect on how fast things can happen when you least expect them. A moment in history I will always remember.

I must say the current article by the VC Reporter about the visit of Bobby Kennedy 50 years ago brought back vivid memories of that day. A great thank you to the reporter Ivor Davis for his outstanding job with this article. Kudos to all the reporters and staff at VC Reporter for jobs well done with each issue.

OXNARD CRUISE NIGHT LAUNCHES ON FRIDAY

by Tim Pompey

Daniel Bellusic, Julia Lester, Renee Cohen, Landen Starkman, Brent Ramirez and Michelle Lane (center) star in Next to Normal.

Next to Normal at Hillcrest Center for the Arts

by Emily Dodi

N

ext to Normal is far from an ordinary musical.

It is not a feel-good romp, but it does make you feel, deeply. And you might laugh out loud even as you plumb the depths of some very dark places. In this case, a house in suburbia.

Onstage through June 27 at Hillcrest Center for the Arts, the Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical, with music by Tim Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, is about a mother with bipolar disorder and its effect on her and her family. We are invited into their world, which is a maelstrom of manic episodes, terrifying numbness, delusions, grief, resentment and good intentions.

Soon after we meet Diana (the wonderful Michelle Lane) we see how her illness colors her family’s world. The more Diana succumbs, the more upended and unhinged their lives become. In her director’s note, Corey Lynn Howe describes Next to Normal as “an explosion of the human experience.” That it is. Or perhaps it’s more like a constant rumbling, and the light ahead could be a way out or an oncoming train. In any case, one need not have experience with bipolar disorder to empathize with the emotions and fears that course through the play.

At its core, Next to Normal is about the self, and even more so about family and love — from its first ember to its waning flame. Diana explains that she feels pain, not just in her mind, but in her heart and soul. How could the three ever be separated? This one line captures what a complicated and incomprehensible tangle it is to be human.

Imagine a play with a multitude of such revelations and you can understand why you might want to cuddle up to a pint of ice cream after seeing the show. And yet you will root for Diana and her family, and somehow feel uplifted

with them by play’s end.

The talented cast also includes Brent Ramirez, who bestows upon Diana’s husband, Dan, a boyish charm as well as the weariness of a man trying to hold his family together. Julia Lester is marvelous as their daughter, Natalie. Landen Starkman is commanding as Gabe, their son.

Daniel Bellusci gives dimension to Natalie’s boyfriend, Henry. Renee Cohen plays Dr. Fine and Dr. Madden with equal aplomb.

Howe, who also designed the well-conceived set, keeps the actors moving, thus keeping the tension taut. Costumes by Katie Sikkema and wardrobe by Barbara Mazieka help bring the characters to life. Lighting design by Shara Abvabi and sound design by Rick Barton evoke everything from a character’s state of mind to the disconcerting flashes of electroconvulsive therapy.

Kitt and Yorkey’s songs are plentiful and don’t pull any punches. The cast, all with strong voices, is accompanied by a live band featuring music director and keyboardist Jan Roper, Jeff Castanon on guitar, Steve Clift on bass, Jeff Gibson on synthesizer and Alan Peck on percussion. It doesn’t miss a beat. It’s curious that the actors are miked, when letting them sing on their own power in the small venue might allow their voices to ring with even more truth and impact.

Next to Normal takes its name from the characters’ realization that they may never have a “normal” life, but maybe they can get close to normal, or even next to it.

Maybe. But where is normal, anyway?

t isn’t just nostalgia that attracts people to old cars. It’s an American tradition; and in a local sense, it’s also an Oxnard tradition. Some 20-odd car clubs exist in Oxnard alone. It’s fitting, then, that Oxnard Cruise Night will be launched this summer on the second Friday night of each month.

“There was a member of the community, Manual Herrera,” said Abel Magaña, executive director for the Oxnard Downtown Improvement District. “He has been connected with Los Viejitos Car Club. He participated in the Oxnard Multicultural Festival and did a peace cruise last October. The Oxnard Police Department also did one. So it’s a car culture thing, just by popular demand.”

Herrera runs a Facebook group page called Citizens for a Better Oxnard.

“I recently retired, and I’ve been involved in the community for many, many years,” said Herrera. “Through my Facebook page, I was able to get this going because the city officials all know me.”

An avid car enthusiast, Herrera found that he had to attend cruise nights elsewhere in the county. So he and his friend Eddie Cabral finally convinced the city and its downtown merchants that a local cruise night on a Friday would be ideal. “People have worked all week, they’re looking for something to do on a Friday night,” he stated.

Herrera and Cabral joined with Gary Blum, who manages the Friday night Summer Concert Series at Heritage Square.

Other enthusiastic partners included Chief Scott Whitney from the Oxnard Police Department, DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), the Murphy Auto Museum and many of the merchants on A Street.

The first Oxnard Cruise Night will take place this Friday, June 8, starting at 4 p.m. on A Street between Third and Sixth streets.

Food and music will be provided by downtown restaurants, and Heritage Square will also feature its regular summer concerts.

“My main pitch was that everything happens at The Collection,” Herrera said. “And now it’s time to bring things back to downtown Oxnard.”

F

Oxnard Cruise Night takes place 4-8 p.m. on every second Friday of the month through August in downtown Oxnard. For route, schedule and more information, call Manuel Herrera at 983-6377, Eddie Cabral at 207-4365 or visit downtownoxnard.org/cruise.

RECOVERY

PICKING UP THE PIECES Catching up with Thomas Fire victims six months after the December inferno

BY NANCY D. LACKY SHAFFER | NANCY@VCREPORTER.COM

W

hen the Thomas Fire lit up Ventura County on Monday night of Dec. 4, it spread with shocking speed and devastating destruction, leaving entire neighborhoods decimated in its wake. Our Dec. 14 issue told the story of some of the Ventura residents who lost their homes to the fire. Now, six months later, the flames have long since been stamped out . . . but the havoc that Thomas wreaked remains, with many people still displaced, businesses lost, lots vacant and the future uncertain for those trying to piece their lives back together. We caught up with four of our former subjects — Susan Scott, Chris Snyder, Veronica James and Matt Johnson — about where they are now, and how they are rebuilding post-Thomas.

SUSAN SCOTT

Up until December 2017, Susan Scott was a resident of Hawaiian Village Apartments in the hills above Downtown Ventura, where a “million-dollar view” of the ocean with enviable access to the hustle and bustle of the city center went up in smoke when Thomas came calling with a vengeance. The executive director of the Ventura Music Festival, however, was able to pull herself up from the ashes with the help of local friends.

“I didn’t struggle and a number of things helped,” explained Scott by email. “For starters, Michael Boyko, a festival board member and the owner of Reardon Funeral Home, took me in at 5 a.m. on Dec. 5 after he finished fighting embers in his own parking lot from the Hawaiian Village fire. He has a guest bedroom suite in the apartment above the funeral home and I resided there for almost eight weeks. It was private and comfortable, and Michael and the staff were just great, plus the locale appealed to my funny bone.”

Not long after, she found a condo in the Seabridge section of Oxnard, where she expects to reside until the end of 2019. While she’s no longer in Downtown Ventura, her work with VMF continues apace, and she admits that’s been a boon to her.

“The fact that I had an office (something of my own) to go to was hugely helpful,” she said. “I received almost 60 emails and texts from artists, friends and colleagues in the first few days after the Hawaiian Village burned, with offers of places to stay, furnishings and clothes and — from several artists — promises of new art once I found a home.”

That “new art” is intended to replace Scott’s former art collection, an impressive compilation, amassed through years of collecting, that was completely lost to the flames. It was fully insured, thankfully, and while the loss of the items themselves will no doubt sting indefinitely, Scott didn’t find herself fighting with the insurance companies to recover her losses.

“While bureaucratic, the several insurance transactions went well.

What could have turned into a long, difficult and possibly contentious documentation of my art collection was avoided fairly early by the decision of the insurance company to forgo documentation and pay the full extent of what I had insured the contents and art for,” Scott said. “They and other companies did so given Thomas’ declared status as a federal disaster. While the payment didn’t begin to match the value of the collection, the underinsurance was my doing, not the insurance company’s.”

Scott has also started her new art collection, with works from Tom McMillin, Russ McMillin, Elisse Pogofsky-Harris, Duane Dammeyer, Tanya Kovaleski,Caz Deknatel, Janet Neuwalder and Michael Boyko already in place. “Pieces from Elana Kundell, Martha Moran, Roxie Ray, Michael Pedzwiatr and David Baker are promised,” she added. “Also, there’s a vintage Persian rug on the floor that looks like a modern painting. I remain a happy, grateful art collector!”

On an emotional level, Scott noted that VMF has not only kept her busy, but given her a way to engage a community that lost much in the fire. There was the free Concert for Ventura offered in February, which “reminded me not only how important it is to give back but also to make it economically possible for everyone to attend,” she said. “It influenced our decision to present another big free public

“I’m actually feeling pretty whole now.”

CHRIS SNYDER “It could happen at any minute.”

“We miss Ventura quite a bit,” Chris Snyder said in a recent phone interview. He, his partner, Linh, and daughter, Matilda, now a year old, had to flee in the middle of the night from their Harbor View apartment on North Kalorama. The family was fortunate to find lodging with a host family in Thousand Oaks, but with a baby in tow, “We really needed a place of our own.”

In mid-January, Snyder and family ended up relocating to an apartment in University Glen in Camarillo, which has been beneficial in some ways — closer to the Malibu High School where Linh works, for one thing. And Matilda has been able to stay in her same day care, which has helped her adjust to the changes.

One of Snyder’s big concerns post-fire was replacing all the documentation — driver’s licenses, passports and other vital paperwork — that had been lost. He noted that the command center set up at Poinsettia Pavilion proved extremely valuable. “They made it really easy for us,” he said. Everyone still needs replacement passports, but as Snyder noted, “We don’t have much international travel planned.”

Overall, he said that “It was a smooth transition,” thanks to the support of friends and family. While they didn’t have insurance, funds from a GoFundMe account and a Totally Local VC fundraiser helped on the financial end, and everyone benefited from a clothing drive. Snyder praised in particular the gear available to him from Patagonia. “We got really good clothes from a company that really cares,” he said.

In general, Snyder says that all of them are “doing great,” but they do miss Ventura and hope to move back there eventually. For now, however, they are in a holding pattern. “It’s just finding the right place at the right time.”

For the most part, Snyder and Linh have no trouble staying upbeat. But he admitted that “What gets to us is when we go back and revisit the story . . . the tears and the fear . . . all these things come into play, this level of anxiety.”

He also found himself keenly affected by the plight of people living near the erupting Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island. “It just pulls at the strings of my heart,” he said.

The take-away message from his Thomas Fire experience? “I wish I could tell [everybody] to get ready, to be prepared. It could happen at any minute. . . . I’m much more proactive about having a plan.”

VERONICA AND DAVID JAMES Veronica and David James had just relocated to Ventura in June, after years of international travel, when the Thomas Fire destroyed their Hawaiian Village apartment. They initially moved in with parents in Ventura, but wasted no time in finding a place of their own. Having recently been in the market for housing gave them an advantage.

“I knew how tight it was,” Veronica James recalled in a phone interview, “so I immediately started looking. This place had come up, I ran over immediately, and I just grabbed it.”

On Jan. 1, the Jameses moved into an apartment on Pierpont. “It’s tiny,” James admitted. “It’s half the size of what we had before and $400 more a month . . . but it’s nice.”

Getting their lives back on track has proven more difficult, however.

“It takes a lot to rebuild,” James said ruefully. “It’s been really hard.

There’s the loss of the stuff that’s totally irreplaceable — everything from my grandmother and great-grandmother is gone. Heirlooms. I was kind of a historian, and all those pictures are just gone. That’s rough.”

Equally hard is the lack of basic household goods that most of us take for granted. James recalled a recent situation where a dear and generous friend brought over enough food to fill the refrigerator and pantry. Included among the supplies was a can of black-eyed peas. David planned on making a stew.

James recalls seeing her husband with “the can of peas in his hand and he’s just staring at it. And he said, ‘We don’t have a can opener.’ ” It is small instances such as these that bring the magnitude of the loss home to James. And she’s still experiencing them. “I lost my main computer. I’m a photojournalist and a travel writer — I lost over 200,000 photos. My husband’s mom just died, and I didn’t have something to wear. That happens at least once a day. . . . Everything is five times harder because you just don’t have the things you know are on hand.”

James admitted that she’s had days over the last six months when she couldn’t get out of bed.

But things have been looking up recently. “I have an amazing support network of friends and family,” she said. “And we are starting to enjoy the neighborhood. It’s a nice vibe down here. Our neighbors are great. That’s been very healing.”

PHOTO BY T CHRISTIAN GAPEN

“Now it’s the worry of other people’s circumstances that weigh on me.”

Like Chris Snyder, the Jameses did not have insurance. But they were able to access funds raised by the Thomas Fire Benefit Festival, and received help from the Red Cross and the United Way. Her children also started a GoFundMe page.

Now that things seem to be on an upswing, James’ thoughts turn to the others less fortunate.

“I’m lucky. I’ve heard word of people who just can’t bounce back,” she said. “Now it’s the worry of other people’s circumstances that weigh on me.”

“Remember: There are people out there that are still reeling and still raw,” she continued, noting that several people are still homeless as a result of the fire. “Don’t forget them. I really worry about them.

Ian and Neal Sowers of the Hubcap Stealers.

Notes from the road

Hubcap Stealers get some southern exposure on the fall tour

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

W

hen Neal and Ian Sowers, the father-son duo that makes up the Hubcap Stealers, hit the road for a tour of the southwestern and southern United States, the trip very nearly started with a bang — a big one.

“At the beginning of our southern tour we were Flagstaff-bound,” Neal (the dad, guitarist and vocalist) says. “We barely made it to Santa Clarita . . . alive, that is. Our tour van was recently serviced days prior, and we started noticing the strong odor of gasoline while driving down the highway. . . . We decided to pull over and inspect — and our van was spewing gasoline from the engine bay like there was a garden hose that had been turned on! Quickly we shut down the engine, called for a tow . . . and thanked the stars we didn’t go up in a tourvan fireball!”

They missed the gig, but made a friend (the garage owner, who fixed the van and covered the lost income from the canceled show) and got back on the road.

Touring is the Hubcap Stealers’ bread and butter, after all, and its members have sung for their supper throughout California and the Southwest almost since the beginning. Being a part of the festival circuit sponsored by 805 Beer has taken the Sowers’ to arenas, fairgrounds and even ski resorts (as part of the Rhythm and Slide Tour) far and wide. But the fall tour took them all the way to Nashville — a first for the two-man roots-and-roll outfit.

Adventure seemed to lurk at every corner.

“We woke one morning in Tucson, Arizona, only to find a tarantula chilling out on our hotel door,” Neal recalls. “Not the way you want to wake up. Trying to coax a full-grown spider of that size is not an easy task.”

The native wildlife proved troublesome in Tennessee as well.

“We slept in the van at a truck stop outside of Nashville,” says Neal. “So hot and humid that we kicked the van doors open in the middle of the night . . . and woke up with hundreds of mosquito bites on our feet and ankles.”

Some of the escapades were self-inflicted, like the night in Phoenix when Neal took off his guitar and jumped into the crowd. He surfed the audience over to the bar, “slammed a shot of whiskey,” and got “passed back to the stage without injury — other than my liver giving me the finger that night. The crowd loved it though! Ian kept the beat on the drums rolling throughout the crazy event.”

And then there was the night that the roof quite literally came down. A heavy rainstorm in Flagstaff caused the ceiling at the Hotel Monte Vista’s cocktail lounge to partially collapse. No one was hurt, but the drum was soaked. And in true rock-and-roll style, the show went on. “We just moved to the floor,” Ian (son and drummer) says.

Some of the young musician’s best memories are from New Mexico. “The cool thing about New Mexico — they know how to show a band some love. Santa Fe especially. They don’t get bands from California very often.” And when Hubcap Stealers took the stage at Boxcar, the crowds there got loud. Ian cites it as one of his favorite gigs on the tour.

The drinking age in Texas is 21, just as it is in California, but the Lone Star State does allow minors to consume alcohol when they are accompanied by a consenting, supervising family member. Which is how 18-year-old Ian found himself at a bar in Lubbock with his dad, having a beer after a particularly good show.

The crowd was wild, and fans showed their appreciation by lining up shots of whiskey at Ian’s drum set throughout the night. “So we celebrated that [success] after the show . . . after signing CDs and boobs,” Neal says. Just another touching father-son moment.

The band left the Southwest bound for Tennessee with engagements in Memphis and Nashville. Being in the heart of blues country was inspiring for the roots musicians.

“It was really cool,” Ian says. “Everything was musically themed. Every single store is playing blues, classic rock or country.” Neal notes that, “Nashville is the only place I’ve been to with live bands playing 24/7.” Bands weren’t just on stage, either — they’d see acts holding court on the street, sometimes as many as 15 at a time. “These guys were pretty legit,” he adds.

A lot of talent could be found busking, too.

“We’d meet with all these seasoned old blues guys on the street, buy ’em a drink or some food, and we’d listen to their stories. The background these guys have!” Neal muses, noting that his trademark derby hat proved to be a good icebreaker.

The Hubcap Stealers left a good impression on the locals, too. At the Hard Rock Cafe in Memphis, the audience didn’t seem to know what to make of these “outlaw roots and rollers” at first. “We just started lighting it up,” Neal says. “People would stop to look at these two guys who were producing this full-band sound.”

“From there, we went to Shreveport, Louisiana,” Neal continues. “We played at this club straight out of Boardwalk Empire. I don’t get scared of too many dudes, but the owner? He was intimidating.”

So how was playing in the South different from other tours?

“I’ve always been drawn to that Louisiana culture, the way people live down there,” Neal says. “Their cuisine. The scenery — everything is green as hell. They have weeping willows everywhere.” The experience inspired a song, “Dragonfly,” released earlier this year. “We kind of wrote that song on the road,” he says.

“Every place we’ve gone, every place we’ve seen — we want to keep doing that. Being in the South kind of sparked the writing of that song.”

What Ian remembers most is the “amazing food” and the people. “They’re so heartwarming and open,” he says. “And they want to make a good impression on you so you’ll come back.

It’s that kind of relationship that we kindle a lot on the road.”

“It’s very cool, being able to do what we do,” Neal adds. “Our high is getting to play.” ✦ The Hubcap Stealers will perform on Saturday, June 9, at Sans Souci, 21 S. Chestnut St., Ventura. All music is available on iTunes, Spotify and CD Baby. For more information, visit hubcapstealers.com.

When Matt Johnson lost his home on Via Ondulando, he didn’t and couldn’t have anticipated how life-altering it would be. He lived with his mother and stepfather when the Thomas Fire engulfed their house but they were all able to relocate to a condo in Port Hueneme, where they still reside. While his drive to work off Victoria Avenue would be a stretch, at least he had a home.

But first, of celebrating the before approval, they had to get 50 percent of their neighbors to agree Guild’s fine ceramic to allow the new home to be two feet artists along side higher than before.

In a new environment with few belongings and little cash, that holiday time exacerbated his loss. First his home and prized 4,000-plus DVD collection, which insurance would not replace, and then his friend and the associated social circle. Following this, his perspective started to change.

“I learned not to worry too much about personal possessions,” Johnson said. “We had a whole storage shed outside we kept telling ourselves we would purge and the fire took care of that.”

After losing his friends, he is reevaluating trust.

“It’s really difficult to trust people to begin with, and let’s just say it will be a while before I let anyone get close,” he said.

“We are cutting our losses and moving.”

Erika Lohrenz was not featured in our Dec. 14 story, but reached out to us in May on Facebook with a poignant video expressing her frustration with the rebuilding process. The 50-year Ventura County resident, who lost her Santa Paula home in the fire, specifically called out city and county supervisors for the permits and other regulations required of her before reconstruction could even take place.

“We’ve already spent over $150,000 on permits,” she said in her May 7 video, “and by the time they get through regulating us . . . we won’t have enough money to rebuild. . . . It’s heartbreaking; they are regulating us to death.”

“We were on Koenigstein Road,” said Lohrenz when VCR reached out to her by email. She and her husband had lived on the Santa Paula property for over 40 years.

“Our home was right where the transformer blew. With

the super-high winds, we had just enough time to grab our animals and get out.”

They’ve been living out of two RVs on their property ever since. While the couple had hoped to rebuild, the mountain of red tape necessary to start the process has proven to be insurmountable.

“At this point, we are cutting our losses and moving,” she explained. “The county has made it so difficult with all their fees, permits and bureaucracy [that] by the time they get through with us, there won’t be enough money left to rebuild. And even if we had the money, we wouldn’t even be able to rebuild for at least a year or so.”

Lohrenz is in the process of buying a home in Acton in Los Angeles County near Antelope Valley.

“We are sad to leave but just want some stability in our lives,” she said. “We have been lied to by Steve Bennett and the bureaucracy in this county. Other people have already left because of this. . . . The stress is intolerable. We just want to get on with our lives.”

He recommended the chicken salad sandwich or Cuban sandwich consisting of pulled pork, applewood ham, pickle and pepper jack cheese on a baguette roll from the lunch menu.

My cousin ordered “Diablo shrimp” — half a dozen shrimp in a spicy red sauce that she deemed a “flavor burst” that definitely awakens one’s taste buds and a small Caesar salad. My 88-year old aunt almost finished her gigantic chicken salad sandwich that came with a crunchy mountain of delicious homemade potato chips.

None of us could resist the homemade potato chips. The chicken salad included dried cranberries, pecans and fresh grapes, lots of lettuce and a nice big slice of ripe red tomato. She did have a heck of a time wrapping her hands around the dripping sandwich.

“Some things are worth the mess,” proclaimed my aunt, who left barely a nibble behind.

My sand dabs were delicious with a lemony caper OPEN FOR LUNCH & DINNER 7 DAYS A WEEK sauce over mashed potatoes accompanied by the tastiest slow-roasted vegetables from local farmers that included parsnips, carrot, celery and Swiss chard. I’d come back for a plate of these.

always available on Fridays; I would return to try this as well.

Dinner specials on the chalkboard on the day we visited included branzino, linguine scampi, filet mignon, roasted prime rib and sand dabs. On the regular dinner menu, the appealing sounding “A Taste of the Mediterranean” entrees ($18-$25) — moussaka, biftekia, yemista and a trio of pies. But I can’t vouch for these as a girl can only eat so much. Appetizers in the same vein include feta delight, roasted artichoke and Mediterranean salad. There’re burgers, if that’s your thing, “The Godfather” (spaghetti and meatballs), slowbraised short ribs — heck, there’s something for just about everybody here.

I returned for the affordable happy hour for a friend’s birthday. She brought her pooch, who was welcome on the patio. The menu is long, some 20 items ($8$10); carnitas, steak and chicken tacos, fish and chips, flatbreads, cauliflower steak and those fiery diablo shrimp. There’s seared ahi tuna ($6), which you can turn into sliders with fries (+$2). And it’s happy hour, so specially priced cocktails ($8), wine ($5) and beer ($4-6).

My friend Susan ordered the tuna tower, a very pretty presentation and tasty — although more chopped raw veggies (avocado, bell pepper, cucumber) than tuna in the mini-tower. The waitress made an honest mix-up and brought a grilled/white wine/Parmesan artichoke (a bit hard to eat with its Parmesan crust), but kindly removed the charge from our bill.

The pièce de résistance was the finger-licking pork ribs, as tasty as they were attractively plated. A sticky sweet sauce, sesame seeds and scallions added the perfect mix of flavors. Run, do not walk, for these.

Dessert choices included apple pie à la mode, crème brulée and beignets with maple syrup and bacon. I cannot vouch for any of these, but I bet the beignets are killer!

Guests can dine indoors or outdoors — both offer harbor views and the patio is doggie-friendly. There are two high, communal tables in the bar area and a full bar.

In addition to cocktails (specialties can include drinks like Berry Collins, Passion Fruit Mule and Coconut Mango Mojito), there is an extensive wine-by-the-glass list — $6-$12.

Music varies — it was Aerosmith when we arrived; we asked for something mellower and got Van Morrison.

Don’t be in a hurry when you dine here; service is friendly but slow.

Just order a cocktail, drink in the views and chillax.

Dinner will be on it’s way. ♦

Disobedience The sexuality of faith

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Disobedience Directed by Sebastián Lelio Starring: Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams, Alessandro Nivola Rated R for some strong sexuality 1 hr. 54 mins.

It’s

rare during the summer season to catch a movie as touching and beautiful as Disobedience. Perhaps the timing of its release was a happy accident.

Whatever the reasons, Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, who won a Best Foreign Language Academy Award this year for his film A Fantastic Woman, has captured a snippet of what it’s like to deal with tradition, faith and sexuality. While it has a Jewish context, this story could be told in any religious setting, particularly since homosexuality is still a topic that most people of faith would rather avoid altogether.

Rav Krushka (Anton Lesser) is a London rabbi of some note in his Orthodox Jewish community. One evening, as he presents a homily on the connection between God’s will, creation and the nature of human choice, he collapses in the pulpit and dies.

His daughter Ronit (Rachel Weisz) is a photographer who has left her Jewish religion and community in London to pursue an artist’s life in New York City. From a faith perspective, one would probably call her a nonpracticing bohemian.

When she learns of her father’s death, she returns to London for the funeral. The reception she receives from her friends and family is not warm. She is considered disrespectful and disloyal for having avoided contact with her father in his final years.

Even more surprising, she learns that her former best friend, Esti (Rachel McAdams), has married her other good friend, Rabbi Dovid Kuperman (Alessandro Nivola).

Why has Ronit left everyone and gone into hiding? As we learn, there is a longheld love between her and Esti, a forbidden love. Now that she has returned, this same

passion is reignited and the consequences for the three friends begin to ripple throughout the community. Gossip shared. Blame cast. A promising rabbinic career in doubt.

Director Lelio and fellow screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz have approached this film from many different perspectives. It’s as if they’re presenting the Jewish arguments for faith and conjugal faithfulness and the humanistic arguments for freedom. With dignity and subtlety they draw out the many Jewish assumptions that Ronit must process in order to attend her father’s funeral; and Ronit, as they say, is not a people person.

As the relationship between Ronit and Esti escalates, their lives engage and conflict in ways that are nuanced but powerful. Each must make decisions that affect the other, and both of them know that there’s more than one level of truth in their lives.

The writers ask the age-old questions: Do we get to have both faith and freedom? In what sense do obligations and vows enrich and imprison us with lives that bear the goodness of faith and the pain of human desire?

In the context of Disobedience, there is an additional level of human behavior: homosexuality. The question of its legitimacy will be a point of discussion as the filmmakers present their story. And in the end, the decision that Esti makes will surprise you.

There are fine performances all around: Weisz as the troubled Ronit, McAdams in perhaps one of her best roles to date as a good woman with a split mind and Nivola as the rabbi and husband who wants to keep faith and love intact in his house.

This is not just a film for Jewish audiences.

This is a film for all who have struggled in some sense to integrate their faith with their sexuality. It is quiet in manner but bold in its presentation, and not without controversy about some of its conclusions.

One thing is clear: Disobedience has stepped into one of the prickliest subjects you can discuss in a faith context and presented a story that is authentic and thought-provoking.

Argue with its premise or its conclusions, but see it for its beauty and willingness to go boldly where most filmmakers would hardly tread. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Ambivalence Actually My boyfriend of two years read my diary and found out that I had expressed feelings for another guy while we were together. I never acted on them (and I wouldn’t have), and I probably shouldn’t have told the guy I liked him. But my boyfriend shouldn’t have been reading my diary! He broke up with me, saying he wouldn’t be able to forgive me.

Now he wants to come back. What should I do? I don’t feel that I can trust him now.

Men were with an attempt to cheat, but it more likely to see sexual excitement as a compelling justification to stray sounds like it was something different — a sort of preliminary — with 75 percent of the men, versus investigation into whether you had 53 percent of the women, giving that any chance with that guy.

Whether disgust is likely to be triggered is actually the perfect guideline for whether some behavior is a no-go in public. As I put it in my science-based manners book, Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck, “consider how pathogens are spread from person to person. If whatever behavior you’re contemplating could cause some bit of something — a piece of chewed food or some bodily icky — to go airborne, it’s bathroom behavior.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you would be wise to ruffle and revise your relationship with time. It would be healthy for you to gain more freedom from its relentless demands; to declare at least some independence from its oppressive hold on you; to elude its push to impinge on every move you make. Here’s a ritual you could do to spur your imagination: Smash a timepiece. I mean that literally. Go to the store and invest $20 in a hammer and alarm clock. Take them home and vociferously apply the hammer to the clock in a holy gesture of pure, righteous chastisement. Who knows? This bold protest might trigger some novel ideas about how to slip free from the imperatives of time for a few stolen hours each week.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Promise me that you won’t disrespect, demean or neglect your precious body in the coming weeks.

Promise me that you will treat it with tender compassion and thoughtful nurturing. Give it deep breaths, pure water, healthy and delicious food, sweet sleep, enjoyable exercise and reverential sex. Such veneration is always recommended, of course — but it’s especially crucial for you to attend to this noble work during the next four weeks. It’s time to renew and revitalize your commitment to your soft warm animal self.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Between 1967 and 1973, NASA used a series of Saturn V rockets to deliver six groups of American astronauts to the moon. Each massive vehicle weighed about 6.5-million pounds. The initial thrust required to launch it was tremendous. Gas mileage was 7 inches per gallon. Only later, after the rocket flew farther from the grip of Earth’s gravity, did the fuel economy improve. I’m guessing that in your

30 —

— June 7 , 2018

by rob brezsny

own life, you may be experiencing something like that 7-inches-per-gallon feeling right now. But I guarantee you won’t have to push this hard for long.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Mars, the planet that rules animal vitality and instinctual enthusiasm, will cruise through your astrological House of Synergy for much of the next five months. That’s why I’ve concluded that between now and mid-November, your experience of togetherness can and should reach peak expression. Do you want intimacy to be robust and intense, sometimes bordering on rambunctious? It will be if you want it to be. Adventures in collaboration will invite you to wander out to the frontiers of your understanding about how relationships work best.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Which astrological sign laughs hardest and longest and most frequently? I’m inclined to speculate that Sagittarius deserves the crown, with Leo and Gemini fighting it out for second place. But having said that, I suspect that in the coming weeks you Leos could rocket to the top of the chart, vaulting past Sagittarians. Not only are you likely to find everything funnier than usual; I bet you will also encounter more than the usual number of authentically humorous and amusing experiences.

(P.S.: I hope you won’t cling too fiercely to your dignity, because that would interfere with your full enjoyment of the cathartic cosmic gift.)

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, a little extra egotism might be healthy for you right now. A surge of super-confidence would boost your competence; it would also fine-tune your physical well-being and attract an opportunity that might not otherwise find its way to you. So, for example,

consider the possibility of renting a billboard on which you put a giant photo of yourself with a tally of your accomplishments and a list of your demands.

The cosmos and I won’t have any problem with you bragging more than usual or asking for more goodies than you’re usually content with.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The coming weeks will be a favorable time for happy endings to sad stories, and for the emergence of efficient solutions to convoluted riddles. I bet it will also be a phase when you can perform some seemingly clumsy magic that dispatches a batch of awkward karma. Hooray! Hallelujah! Praise Goo! But now listen to my admonition, Libra: The coming weeks won’t be a good time to toss and turn in your bed all night long thinking about what you might have done differently in the month of May. Honor the past by letting it go.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“Dear Dr. Astrology: In the past four weeks, I have washed all 18 of my underpants four times. Without exception, every single time, each item has been inside-out at the end of the wash cycle. This is despite the fact that most of them were not insideout when I threw them in the machine. Does this weird anomaly have some astrological explanation?

— Upside-Down Scorpio.” Dear Scorpio: Yes. Lately your planetary omens have been rife with reversals, inversions, flip-flops and switchovers.

Your underpants situation is a symptom of the bigger forces at work. Don’t worry about those bigger forces, though. Ultimately, I think you’ll be glad for the renewal that will emerge from the various turnabouts.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

As I sat down to meditate on your horoscope, a

hummingbird flew in my open window. Scrambling to herd it safely back outside, I knocked my iPad on the floor, which somehow caused it to open a link to a Youtube video of an episode of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune, where the hostess Vanna White, garbed in a long red gown, revealed that the word puzzle solution was USE IT OR LOSE IT. So what does this omen mean? Maybe this: You’ll be surprised by a more-or-less delightful interruption that compels you to realize that you had better start taking greater advantage of a gift or blessing that you’ve been lazy or slow to capitalize on.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You’re in a phase when you’ll be smart to bring more light and liveliness into the work you do. To spur your efforts, I offer the following provocations. 1. “When I work, I relax. Doing nothing makes me tired.”

— Pablo Picasso. 2. “Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” — Ann Landers. 3. “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” — Aristotle. 4.

“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” — Scott Adams. 5.

“Working hard and working smart can sometimes be two different things.” — Byron Dorgan. 6. “Don’t stay in bed unless you can make money in bed.”

— George Burns. 7. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.” — Mark Twain.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“There isn’t enough of anything as long as we live,” said poet and short-story writer Raymond Carver.

“But at intervals a sweetness appears and, given a chance, prevails.” My reading of the astrological omens suggests that the current phase of your cycle is one of those intervals, Aquarius. In light of this grace period, I have some advice for you, courtesy

of author Anne Lamott: “You weren’t born a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes. You learned contraction to survive, but that was then.” Surrender to the sweetness, dear Aquarius.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Between you and your potential new power spot is an imaginary 10-foot-high, electrified fence.

It’s composed of your least charitable thoughts about yourself and your rigid beliefs about what’s impossible for you to accomplish. Is there anything you can do to deal with this inconvenient illusion?

I recommend that you call on Mickey Rat, the cartoon superhero in your dreams who knows the difference between destructive destruction and creative destruction. Maybe as he demonstrates how enjoyable it could be to tear down the fence, you’ll be inspired to join in the fun.

Homework: Confess your deepest secrets to yourself. Say them out loud when no one but you is listening. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1834 ADELAIDE CT, OXNARD, CA 93035. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $49,518.48 (Estimated).

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not 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 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 130039-5. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The Mobile Home Park owner has deemed this unit and the tenancy to be voluntarily vacant. Presently there is no right to keep this unit on Space 82-A. However, after the sale is concluded, the management may entertain offers of financial consideration from the buyer in exchange for granting the buyer permission to leave the unit on-site in the future. Any prospective buyer wishing to reside in the unit

must qualify for that right via the application and approval process. Details are available at the Mobile Home Park onsite office. In the event that a post-sale agreement re: future occupancy is not reached, then the Mobile Home Park owner reserves the right to require the removal of the mobilehome within 48 hours after the sale.

Prospective purchasers must tender a cashier’s check for the full amount of the purchase immediately at the conclusion of the sale. Except for the warranty that this sale is authorized by law, absolutely no warranties of sale are made. The park reserves the right to postpone and reschedule the sale without further notice. The general public will have access to the Mobile Home Park premises for purposes related to this sale.

The Registered Owner’s payment of the sums demanded by this Notice will not reinstate the tenancy (and sub-tenancy, if any) under a rental agreement in default.

NOTICE TO CONSUMER: The law gives you the thirty (30) days after you receive this Notice to dispute the validity of the debt or any part of it. If you do not dispute it within that period, I will assume the debt is valid. If you do dispute it - by notifying me in writing to that effect - I will, as required by law, obtain and mail to you proof of the debt.

The law does not require me to wait until the end of the 30 day period before proceeding to collect this debt. If, however, you request proof of the debt within the thirty (30) day period that begins with your receipt of this Notice, the law requires me to suspend my efforts (through litigation or otherwise) to collect the debt until I mail the requested information to you.

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 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (800) 758-8052 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.homesearch.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-0671. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
