OPINION Editor’s Note

The Vagabond Effect W

ith the change of the seasons comes a slew of events to Ventura County — one-time events, inaugural happenings and many others that have been around for years. In the coming week, Oxnard begins its eighth annual Restaurant Week, 10 days of discounts at participating restaurants, while Ojai is just merging onto the scene with its own Restaurant Week (See Happenings, page xx). The predicament of two Restaurant Weeks in two different cities at the same time may dilute participation for each, but here is some food for thought.

Prior to the Thomas Fire, Montecito mudslides, the Borderline shooting and the Woolsey Fire, very few people impacted by these disasters were considering that it would be the last time they would eat at their own kitchen tables, that it would be the last time they talked to loved ones again. It seems as though most people are living for tomorrow.

We are a society told ad nauseam to save money, pay necessary bills and focus on a better future. Meanwhile, the present is being neglected while planning for something better yet to come.

Now imagine if everything we did, all the people we talked to, all the meals we consumed, were appreciated and savored as if it were the last time. Of course, thinking in these terms may cause some sort of panic and anxiety, but imagine, instead of negativity, living in the moment with joy and happiness; treasuring now what is currently offered and available rather than focusing on what has not been provided or failed expectations.

This may seem like a lot of emotion for

W

hen I first got involved with the city three years ago the above statement was what I heard most from Port Hueneme residents. Going back 10 years and up till 2017 the city staff and City Council did not always have the best interest of its residents as their major focus. As of now all major city staff personnel, department heads and all but one City Council member that were employed by the city during this time have been replaced from serving the city. During this eight year time frame the city suffered from fiscal mismanagement, misuse of federal funds, unnecessary salary increases and violations of federal and state laws concerning governing procedures, Brown Act violations and creating a workplace that created bad morale and ethics for employees to endure.

The city is still in a financial bind from previous years of neglect, but seems to be moving forward with the cannabis business and other major new businesses opening up. The city staff is far better and has created a positive working environment, the department heads are more responsive, forward thinking and the City Council will add three new members and

the average Restaurant Week, but think about regret. Ask yourself: What are you truly saving for while being unhappy today?

Can’t there be a better balance between the hope for tomorrow while being fully present to enjoy what is here now? That includes friends, family and food, too.

For Restaurant Week and into 2019, I would like to introduce the idea of the Vagabond Effect.

When it was announced that the longtime comfort food and comforting diner was going to be passed on to new corporate management — to bring, apparently, hip new flair; out with the old familiar faces in exchange for the new — local residents came out in droves to say goodbye to the Vagabond as they knew it. The place was filled for nearly 30 days until closing Jan. 1. Patrons reminisced over Reuben sandwiches and pot roast as well as Belgian waffles and perfect diner coffee. And then just like that, it was over.

But instead of wishing farewell by visiting a favorite locale one last time, maybe we can transfer similar adoration and gratitude to businesses that are doing their best to stay open another day. And life is precious — take advantage of communicating with those in our lives while they are still around. We should be living for today and with hope that tomorrow is going to bring more abundance, but remember that it does take a community to make it all work.

While the rains and flooding are clearly a deterrent to many, focus on how we can be a better, more interconnected community now.

Let’s not wait until it’s closing time to enjoy what we have at our fingertips.

a new mayor that were not part of previous staff responsible for the negative image PH received thorough out the county.

The city staff and City Council are now in position to answer and do something about “WHY HASN’T THE CITY DONE______???

Much has been done in the last couple of years, traffic safety for neighborhoods and schools, beach renovations, park upgrades new business, better relations with the Port, more community functions, more police civic involvement and increased public safety measures like security cameras at the Hueneme Beach and Moranda Park to be installed soon.

The City Council has approved and the city is in initial stages of initiating the Citizens Advisory Commission to provide better communication between residents and the city staff and council. This Commission will enable residents to make their questions and suggestions directly available to the city and the city will have a method of getting information from residents they may need to assist them in making decisions that affect residents in their everyday life. Committees will be formed and staffed by residents who want to be part of improving conditions and help provide input as to the path that Port Hueneme takes going into the future.

Therefore, “WHY HASN’T THE CITY DONE____??? Will hopefully not be rele-

vant. By becoming active in city issues and having a whole new group of city staff and City Council members, this is a great opportunity to become part of the solution and people will be saying “LOOK WHAT THE CITY IS DOING!!!” Going into the New Year I see for the first time a positive future for 2019 especially if we all become involved.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

Red light cameras

Tom Dunn Port Hueneme

If you are in the city of Ventura, and driving South on Victoria Ave (40 MPH posted speed limit) and want to turn left onto Telephone Road, beware the left turn signal has a red light camera and a tricky yellow light. The tricky part is the length of the yellow light.

The Cal-Trans Manual for Traffic Control Devices show that when the posted speed limit is 40 MPH, this yellow traffic light should be set at a MINIMUM of 4.4 seconds. This yellow light is set for a 3.6 minimum, but it actually works faster than that (2-3 seconds).

So what happens is that the fast yellow light is quickly followed by the red light and photos, showing your car running the red light. Ventura PD will mail you the photos and court info. The fine is only $558, plus the cost of traffic school. Most will pay the fine without realizing the contributing factor of the short yellow light. If you plead not guilty the Ventura PD will testify in court that the 40 MPH speed limit is somehow reduced to 25 MPH?? within the intersection and this allows the reduced time for the yellow light.

The judge somehow believes this and finds you guilty. Ventura city info shows over 1,000 red light violation citations in 2018 were issued at this traffic signal. WHAT A RIP OFF AND MONEY MAKER FOR THE CITY!! What is the problem with adding just another second to the yellow light?? The only problem I see is that it would reduce the number of bad red light camera $558 traffic citations. VPD will say they do not set the length of the yellow lights, but they should be able to correct an unfair traffic signal condition.

Wake-up call

Simi Valley candidate for California Republican Party chair wants to inject life into the GOP

by Chris O’Neal

S

chris@vcreporter.com teve Frank doesn’t believe that the California Republican Party needs a restart. For him, it hasn’t even gotten off the ground. Frank, publisher of California Political News and Views and frequent guest on talk radio shows across the state, is one of three candidates vying for the Chair of the California Republican Party at its upcoming convention in February.

In November 2018, the Republican Party candidates lost in a massive way to Democratic Party candidates, giving the Democrats a super majority in the California legislature.

Frank lays the blame squarely at the feet of party leadership.

“In California we’ve done nothing, which allowed one voice to be heard, the Democrat voice, and not a Republican voice,” said Frank.

Frank, a Simi Valley resident who has been active in the GOP since 1960 supporting Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater and others, spoke to us from San Diego.

VCReporter: California has a history of embracing Republicans in certain ways — thinking not too long ago to Schwarzenegger, for example. What has changed?

Steve Frank: What has changed is that the California Republican Party has been silent for the last six years. They haven’t done any voter registration, they haven’t done any general public outreach and they haven’t recruited candidates. On the last ballot in November, there were 41 legislative seats out of 153 without a Republican on the ballot. The party has been dormant. We raised $34 million in the last cycle and the chairman says that’s the most raised by any party in the country. I’ll accept that, and then he goes on to say the poor Texas Republican Party only raised $6 million.

Well let’s see, for $6 million the Republican Party in Texas has two U.S. senators, all the constitutional officers, control of the House of Representatives, control of the State Senate. For $34 million, we didn’t even get a t-shirt.

Don’t you have to raise that kind of money to be even a little bit competitive?

No, that’s not true. You do have to raise money but what you have to do is spend the money properly, which is why Texas, with $6 million, did so much better than California with $34 million. If you don’t do any voter registration at all for six years, which is what the CRP (California Republican Party) did not do, well, you have to expect that you’re going to lose because you’re not registering people to vote for your candidate. We didn’t spend any money on harvesting absentee ballots. The democrats in Orange County alone harvested 250,000 absentee ballots, we did zero. I’ll ask you this: Can you name the Republican message in California put out by the Republican Party as to why people should vote for republicans in California in 2018?

I cannot.

There was none. That’s why you can’t. So if you don’t have a message, you don’t get the people to vote.

6—

— January 17, 2019

It seems like across the country the Republican Party has been winning. What’s the difference with California?

It started in 2010 with the passage of Proposition 14 by a man from the Bay Area, Charles Munger Jr., who does not believe in political parties. He passed Prop 14, the so-called Top Two. In the 2010 election only 5 million people voted on that measure, 3 million supported it, and now none of us get to have candidates. So if you’re a Libertarian or Green Party, you don’t have a candidate on the November ballot automatically because of Prop 14. You don’t get there unless no Republican runs and you’re in a district with only one Democrat on the ballot.

Munger took over the California Republican Party, closed down our voter registration, closed down our recruitment of candidates for office, closed down our communications to the general public. He doesn’t believe in political parties and he owned the California Republican Party until very recently when he decided to drop out of politics because he already destroyed the Republican Party in California. As you know we only have 20 members of the state assembly out of 80, 11 senators out of 40, and only seven members of congress out of 53 and no constitutional officers, no senators. He’s done his damage and he can walk away having got his wish, the end of a political party.

Quoting you [from a forum held in December 2018], “Our leadership is just afraid of talking about the results of the president and instead, they’re very defensive about his words.” Trump is not popular here. How do you separate his words from his policies in a way that resonates with California voters?

As you know, California has an extremely large Latino population and under Trump we have the lowest Hispanic unemployment in history; we have a large black population, under Donald Trump we have the lowest black unemployment in history; over 50 percent of Californians are female, we have the lowest female unemployment in history; we are safer now because he’s defeated ISIS and defeated terrorists across the globe; our trade is going to be much better because he has won the trade battles one by one on behalf of American businesses. Thanks to his tax cuts, the California public has more dollars in their pockets and there are more manufacturing jobs when the Democrats said manufacturing is closed in America, and you’d need a magic wand to create manufacturing. You didn’t need a magic wand, you needed a tax cut plan. What our Republican leaders need to do is stop whining about tweets and start talking about results.

Frank will speak as a guest of the Channel Islands Republican Women Federated on Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 6:15 p.m. at the Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club, 2600 Harbor Blvd., Oxnard. Tickets $30. For more information, call 805266-7940 ext. 801.

In Brief FATAL POLICE SHOOTING CLOSES 101 OVER WEEKEND

A police shooting that left a suspect dead on the 101 freeway on Saturday left the busy thoroughfare closed in both directions for much of the day.

The Los Angeles County Coroner identified Dimas Diaz Jr., 43, of Santa Barbara as the suspect involved in the high speed chase through Ventura County, ending dramatically just after the Lost Hills exit around noon Saturday, Jan. 12.

The California Highway Patrol began the pursuit after a domestic violence call originating from Camarillo tipped officers off to Diaz. It was learned that Diaz was wanted in another state for violations of his parole and was considered armed and dangerous.

OJAI MAN CHARGED IN DEATH OF FAMILY PET

An Ojai man was arrested on suspicion of felony animal cruelty after allegedly strangling and maiming his father’s dog.

On Dec. 31, 2018, authorities launched an investigation into the death of Victoria, a 10-year old Chihuahua mix, after a report was received by the Ojai Police Station of the death of the dog. The Ojai Police transferred the case to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, which services Ojai and the unincorporated area around the city.

The suspect, 35-year-old Donhvon Henry Snyder, allegedly hated the family pet and had allegedly killed it in November, authorities learned. Further investigation revealed that Snyder had allegedly maimed the dog prior to strangling it. Snyder’s father led authorities to the site where Victoria had been buried, and a Ventura County Animal Control officer exhumed the body.

A necropsy performed on Victoria revealed trauma around the neck and that the dog had suffered from several broken bones prior to the strangulation.

Snyder plead not guilty on Jan. 3 to the counts and will appear in court again in February.

AMERICAN PICKERS COMING TO VENTURA, SEEKS CONTESTANTS

Have a lot of junk in the trunk? Perhaps it could be worth something to the hosts of American Pickers, who are looking for interesting items to feature when they visit Ventura in March.

The History Channel show follows the exploit of antique “pickers” Mike and Frank as they scour the wide and exciting world of old stuff, some of which could be exceedingly valuable, or can be recycled and made useful once again.

The producers are seeking interesting items with equally fascinating stories to feature, in particular, large, private collections that the hosts can spend the day browsing.

For more information and to inquire, call 1-855-OLD-RUST (6537878) or AmericanPickers@cineflix.com.

WEATHER CLOSES CAMPGROUNDS IN VENTURA, CHANNEL ISLANDS

A series of storms have forced the closure of two local campgrounds in Ventura and at the Channel Islands National Park.

California State Parks closed McGrath State Beach on Monday, Jan. 7, due to flooding from the Santa Clara River Estuary. The oftflooded campground is home to hundreds of wildlife species. Officials have no timeline for when the park will reopen, concluding that the waters will need to recede before repairs and cleanup can begin.

Meanwhile, across the channel, a partial campground closure on Santa Cruz Island has been declared due to hazardous conditions prompted by a downed tree.

The Upper Scorpion Campground will be closed until further notice after a eucalyptus tree fell, partially obstructing safe access. The closure will affect visitors to the Scorpion Canyon Loop Trail and the Upper Scorpion Canyon Trail to Potato Harbor, though Potato Harbor will still be accessible from the Cavern Point Trail.

Officials say that they are considering utilizing recreation fee funds to address the matter.

The budget, dubbed “California for All,” calls for $209 billion to combat homelessness, to prepare for natural disasters and to boost healthcare and public school systems, to name just a few of MONIQUE LIMÓN the plan’s funding targets. Just over 29 percent of the budget is targeted toward K-12 education and 21 percent toward health.

Assemblywoman Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, said that she is “encouraged” by the proposed budget.

“As Vice Chair of the Legislative Women’s Caucus, I especially applaud his investments in “cradle to career,” K-12, and expanded paid family leave,” said Limón, adding that she is “especially pleased” with “$172.3 million to improve the state’s emergency response and preparedness capabilities” in light of the Montecito debris flow.

State Sen.Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, echoed Limón’s words regarding the investment in emergency response among a myriad of other interests.

“I am particularly encouraged by Governor Newsom’s commitment to expanding paid family leave,” said Jackson. The budget would expand partial-paid leave from six weeks to six months, the longest in the nation. “This proposed budget also sends us on a path to eliminate our recession-era debt while boldly planning for our future.”

The budget also includes a $4.8 billion deposit into the state’s rainy day fund, bringing the total to $15 billion.

CONGRESSWOMAN BROWNLEY: JOB TRAINING FOR VETS, TREATMENT OF TSA OFFICERS

Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, has hit the ground running as part of the new Democratic majority in the U.S. House with several new bills aimed at addressing local and national issues.

On Jan. 8, Brownley introduced The Mortgage Insurance Tax Deduction Act and The Mortgage Debt Tax Forgiveness Act, JULIA BROWNLEY which would make permanent a deduction for mortgage insurance premiums and income tax exclusion for mortgage debt forgiveness, both of which expired on Dec. 31, 2017.

Joining with fellow House Democrats, Brownley introduced the For the People Act, H.R. 1, an anti-corruption reform bill that includes a section co-authored by Brownley aimed at ending partisan gerrymandering by requiring states to adopt a citizen redistricting commission.

“The American people sent a resounding message on Election Day rejecting President Trump’s culture of chaos and corruption,” said Brownley. “My Democratic colleagues and I are hard at work now to restore our democracy and return our government to one of, by and for the people once again.”

Also introduced by Brownley: Honoring Our Fallen TSA Officers Act, federal Transportation Security Administration employees killed in the line of duty would receive the same death benefits as other federal law enforcement officers. This bill was introduced in response to the death of TSA Officer Gerardo I. Hernandez at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, Nov. 1, 2013.

Finally, Brownley has introduced three bills aimed at assisting veterans find work.

The “Help Hire Our Heroes Act,” “Reduce Unemployment for Veterans of All Ages Act,” and the “Veteran Entrepreneurs Act” all aim to provide assistance and reduce barriers for veterans in finding a job, receiving assistance or starting their own business.

The full text of each of these bills can be read at www.juliabrownley.house.gov.

OFFICIALS DERIDE PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR FEMA FUNDS THREAT

President Donald Trump, mired in a government shutdown battle regarding funding for a border wall between the United States and Mexico, took aim at California on Wednesday, Jan. 9, via Twitter, threatening to cut funding to the wildfire-ravaged state unless “they get their act together.”

“Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forest fires that, with proper Forest Management, would never happen,” wrote Trump. “Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no JACQUI IRWIN more money.”

State and local officials immediately criticized the president for his comments, including Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, who represents District 44. Irwin joined several officials in issuing a statement.

“It is unacceptable to use victims of the fires in California as a bargaining chip in the negotiations to get the federal government working again,” said Senator Stern and Assemblymembers Jesse Gabriel, Christy Smith, Richard Bloom and Irwin. “FEMA has done critically important work providing assistance to families and businesses throughout our community — and we urge the federal government to double down on those efforts, not restrict them.”

The California legislature has in fact addressed forest management, through SB901 passed in 2018 benefitting response and recovery efforts, and through Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed budget, which includes a five-year $1 billion forest management plan on top of $111 million the state has invested since 2017.

The Woolsey Fire burned 83 percent of the Santa Monica Mountains federal park. Since 2016, the U.S. Forest Service has seen a $2 billion cut in its budget.

Comeback kid

Native Newbury Park resident readies for Anaheim Supercross race after serious injury

by Michael Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

A

lmost one year to the day, Cole Seely, 29, native Newbury Park resident, was getting ready for his second race in the 2018 Monster Energy Supercross season; he finished seventh his first race. For the 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, on Jan. 5, Seely finished 10th — but that in and of itself may be something of a miracle. During the 2018 season, Seely got into an accident during a race and fractured his pelvis and tailbone. Having fully recovered, he is preparing for his next race this weekend, Jan. 19, at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, having learned some painful lessons. He endures with an unrelenting spirit to keep pursuing his passion.

VCReporter: Last time we connected, it was at Anaheim last year. Tell us about how your races were going early on last season. Who were your biggest competitors?

Seely: Last season was going really well, I was second in points when I went down. It’s hard to say who the biggest competitor was, because it’s such a stacked field. But, obviously last year Jason Anderson was first in points so he sort of has a target on his back this year from everyone else. But aside from Jason, my teammate Ken Roczen is going really fast, Eli Tomac, etc. It’s always a stacked field full of guys who can win on any given night. So, this is a typical night for me. It’s been about a year since the accident but I’ve been doing this a really long time so it just feels like a start to another season.

You got into an accident on the track.

Tell us how the accident happened.

When did you know you were in trouble?

I wasn’t very comfortable with the timing section that I crashed in and I didn’t give it enough throttle off the takeoff and misjudged the jump entirely. It’s just an unfortunate racing incident. It was kind of a freak accident the way it happened, the bike kind of caught me and the way it impacted me is very rare. If the bike hadn’t hit me the way it did, the injury wouldn’t have been as bad as it was. It is what it is, it’s in the past now.

How long was recovery and what did you have to do?

I had a broken pelvis, broken sacrum on

both sides, dislocated sacrum and I tore my abdomen wall off my pelvis. That was pretty painful and I actually found out two days later that I had separated my shoulder, too. So, I had to pay attention to that in the recovery process as well. The road to recovery went well though.

Getting back on my feet and getting back on the bike was a little easier that I thought it was going to be because of the initial pain and the first few weeks were really tough but then it ended up getting easier

What were your first thoughts about this injury?

Did you worry you wouldn’t be able to walk or ride again?

No, I’ve been through a lot of crashes where you hit the ground and right away you start checking yourself out.

Like I can move my feet, I can move my legs, I can feel everything, I know where the pain is. There was never any fear of not being able to walk again and even after my first surgery, they told me I would lose 2 percent of flexion in my hips, which is basically nothing. So, if that’s the only side effect, that’s fine. But I haven’t felt any limitations since then.

At what point did you get back on your bike? Did you ever hesitate or think that you would not return to racing?

Well, I could have gotten back on the bike a lot sooner, I’m sure, but doctors told me six months so I waited six months and listened.

Every limitation the doctors gave me and every date I listened to, whether it was waiting to walk, waiting to get on a bike, waiting to cycle.

Anything they gave me a date on, I just listened to. There was no point in rushing it.

I’m excited to start the new season. Any new season brings jitters, nervousness and excitement all mixed into one, but definitely excitement is the main feeling for the night.

What are your goals for the season?

I just take it night by night, to be honest.

We have 17 races and there is a lot of time in between. Obviously, you want to win as much as you can and be in the front as much as you can. But coming back from this injury, I’ve been setting minor goals and minor steps to get me back to where I was last season. ✦ Seely will be racing at the 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross on Saturday, Jan. 19, at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Gates open at noon and racing starts at 7 p.m. Tickets and FanFest Passes are now available for purchase online at Tickets.com or charge by phone at 800-352-0212.

Faith tested

Local church leaders speak candidly about emotional and spiritual exhaustion

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

DESTA RONNING GOEHNER

T

he twin tragedies of the Borderline Bar and Grill mass shooting and the devastating spread of the Woolsey Fire shocked Thousand Oaks and Ventura County to the core on November 7 and 8. As thousands fled their homes and millions worldwide watched coverage of both events, many of those caught in the middle likely tried to find solace spiritually in the same way that countless Americans poured into houses of worship after other tragedies such as 9/11.

But what is the impact on the spiritual leaders who are charged with making divine sense of it all in situations like these? When horrific events affect both congregants and additional outsiders, their need for advice and prayer is piled on top of the usual emotional and spiritual demands presented by requests to discuss life’s hardest aspects ranging from addictions and marital problems to grief counseling — creating a surefire recipe for pastor burnout.

Last October, California Lutheran University announced a strong step towards helping clergy handle the stress to continue thriving in their ministries. The Thousand Oaks-based university and its Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS) announced that they had been awarded nearly $1 million from Lilly Endowment Inc., a private philanthropic foundation supporting the causes of religion,

education and community development, to help pastors and church leaders throughout 14 Western states with these issues.

The grant comes as declining church attendance and funding, changing parishioner expectations and increasingly diverse communities have made pastors’ jobs more challenging. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) bishops report that pastors suffer from dissatisfaction, anxiety, fear, spiritual depletion and loneliness as they struggle to revitalize their congregations — and the problem extends across all spiritual lines.

“Our two campus pastors went onsite at Cal Lutheran after the shooting and made sure students were good, offering support to any students and staff who need it even though the campus was shut down as a result,” recalls Desta Ronning Goehner, director of congregational relations at Cal Lutheran. “They enlisted numerous pastors and faith leaders to come to the scene and at hospitals to offer support to people.”

“Their presence can bring a calm that is often needed when spiritual crises could be or are happening, and that’s a lot to bear or carry,” Goehner adds. “You’re always shifting among divorce, spiritual crisis or helping someone die well to happy events, too. They don’t have time or space to deal with how they’re affected by that, and they have their

‘‘

It’s hard to say to people, ‘I can’t talk now due to my own therapy appointment,’ or ‘I can’t come to the hospital because I’m dealing with my own crisis.”

own things to deal with, too.”

Goehner notes that the Lilly Foundation put out a request for grant proposals for programs that would help pastors not feel so isolated, burnt out and alone and to help them support each other through hard times.

“It’s hard to say to people, ‘I can’t talk now due to my own therapy appointment,’ or ‘I can’t come to the hospital because I’m dealing with my own crisis.’ It ends up being months and months and years and years of heavy lifting.”

Building on PLTS’ Theological Education for Emerging Ministry program and Cal Lutheran’s Executive Skills for Church Leaders program, the new project will develop

curriculum to strengthen practical leadership skills not covered in seminaries and deliver those lessons to about 150 pastors and other church leaders throughout the West. Topics will include social entrepreneurship, cultural competency, community organizing and conflict management. Pastors and church leaders will form cohorts for collaboration and support, and they will receive mentoring and spiritual counseling.

Participants will also be connected to mentors who will offer spiritual direction, coaching and therapy as needed. In the end, the desired result is for pastors to form strong support networks for each other, and in turn improve their work with laypeople. As she checked her

cellphone amid her interview, Goehner realized that she herself might benefit from the program as well.

“I have 147 texts on my phone from people sending love, saying they’re thinking about me, but for me it’s self-care not to respond to those so i can be present for people here,” says Goehner. “I’m currently in bed, needing a nap because I was up all night with a family that lost a loved one in the shooting. I know I need to pull away to care for myself, but we need supportive relationships and [to] help each other out. I sent emails to interfaith leaders to come together and share collective grief. It was

and people are always there. In some ways, you’re on 24/7 and ministry doesn’t ever stop,” he adds. “It’s like being an emergency room doctor versus an optometrist who works from 9 to 5 and then they can wait ‘til tomorrow at 9 o’clock to see you if you have an issue. Someone can say to you, ‘My son just committed suicide,’ and I can’t say ‘Sorry, please call me tomorrow.’ The type of demand that comes from being a pastor, and that frequency and consistency of demand, is unique to only a few career paths.”

As a female pastor at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Simi Valley, Jennifer

JENNIFER CHRIEN really powerful.”

Looking at Dominic Balli, a dreadlocked, 30-something reggae musician who has spent the past 15 years in ministry in the Carpinteria and Ventura branches of the eight-city worldwide Reality family of churches, it might seem that his jovial spirit would help him avoid the dangers of burnout. But speaking amid the week after the twin tragedies, he admitted that the prospect is always there for anyone who devotes their life to assisting the burdens of others.

Balli notes that Reality churches have been carefully established to feature a team of pastors, “so that the weight, focus and pressure of the church and ministry doesn’t fall on just one of us.” He is careful to note that he and his fellow pastors are not immune to becoming weary or exhausted, but that splitting the work up carefully helps prevent severe emotional and spiritual exhaustion.

“Things that contribute to the weightiness of pastoral ministry are that you’re helping care for people, and it’s easy to take that on, with their heartaches, pain, drama and relational activities,” says Balli. “It’s hard not to take things home with you because you care for them. If you don’t have a healthy pattern of disconnecting yourself, you can carry that all the time.”

“Pastoral ministry is centered on people,

me struggling with their faith, I feel I can offer guidance and support, but if they come to me upset about people not putting the chairs back in the right place after a church event, I wonder if this is the best use of our time as Christians? It wears me down.”

Support from colleagues, such as the two other pastors on staff at her church, is vital to maintaining an even keel and positive mindset. She finds that they provide “a built-in sounding board of people who know the work and the congregation,” but also looks forward to programs that provide time and money for continuing education and sabbaticals that

I broke nine of those 10 commandments as a pastor, I’d lose my job. But if I didn’t take a day off to keep holy the Sabbath day, having a day to rest, I’d get a raise. The reason for burnout is that pastors have been violating the need for a day of rest, and if pastors really checked out and disconnected from all their responsibilities for a day a week, there’d be less burnout in our churches.”

The River Community Church helps people take on all manner of problems, as it runs The City Center, a 30-room transitional living motel for homeless children and their parents as they transition from life on the streets to permanent

JIM DURAN Chrien has a somewhat different perspective on the issue of burnout than Balli. The 32-yearold, who has led her church for the past six years, is excited by the new Lilly grant program, having participated in a prior Lillyfunded program designed to help pastors set goals and improve their outreach.

Chrien recalls that the Lutheran faith has long been central to her life, having been raised in the church from a young age and discerned her vocation as a minister when she was still a teen. Her husband is also a Lutheran pastor, which results in both supporting each other due to their shared understanding of the calling’s demands. But she also notes that their dual careers affects both their professional lives and the personal time they are able to spend together.

“I like that you get to be a part of some really important moments in people’s lives, such as births, deaths, weddings and funerals,” says Chrien. “People really invite you into those sacred spaces and that’s really powerful.

I enjoy the week to week rhythm of preparing for worship, leading worship and teaching.

But I find that the really difficult moments and questions can certainly be draining. I’m in a period right now where I’m doing a lot of funerals. It does wear you down. What contributes more to burnout is the kind of petty stuff you have to deal with. If somebody comes to

enable pastors to recharge mentally.

One pastor who has dealt with burnout from a unique perspective is Jim Duran of the River Community Church in Ventura. He recalls overcoming a severe, seven-year prescription-drug addiction in which he was consuming 60 to 80 Vicodin tablets a day until “the Lord delivered me from that in October 2002” amid an intense prayer session at another church.

Now 58, Duran helped start River as Ventura Foursquare Church in 2004 and received his pastor’s license in 2005, working his way up until he became a full-time pastor at the church in 2014. Foursquare churches are Pentecostal in their approach, with highly charismatic prayer and worship music, while the Foursquare moniker derives from four basic principles of their approach to the Gospel.

“Back in the early days of the Christian faith, church services were held in homes and focused on Scripture readings and praise and worship music and prayers,” explains Duran. “Then churches became corporate and institutionalized, and pastors were made to do everything, including accounting, evangelizing, preaching, maintenance and paying the bills.

“What’s really been interesting throughout the years is that in the church, we have the Ten Commandments, and the crazy thing is that if

housing. The church also oversees the Tender Life Maternity Home for homeless pregnant women, and that combination has subjected Duran to some pretty harrowing experiences.

“I deal a lot with the homeless population, and have seen suicides in front of trains and murders, and dealt with not just with families but the general homeless population,” says Duran. “It’s taxing, difficult, hard. When they lose, we lose. It’s a difficult place to be but we have to depend on the Holy Spirit to guide us through that.”

That belief that God is there to guide and protect ministers and their work is a belief that is shared by all of the pastors involved, carrying them through their own dark nights of the soul. There truly is something inexplicably powerful about the work for each of them and their fellow pastors, a factor that Balli says he tries to never forget.

“Just like a cardiovascular surgeon can go home and say ‘I helped someone have a long, happier, healthier life because of fixing their heart,’ when I share the love and life of God with someone, I can see it transform them from the inside out in a very fulfilling way,” says Balli. “It’s great to see that I was able to participate in their spiritual growth or a spiritual ‘Aha!’ moment and being healed in an emotional way as they experience God in a miracle.

I get to facilitate encounters with God.” F

“No one told us the building was being sold, or considered to be sold in the future,” says Jolyn Johnson, who has been an active member of the company — on and off the stage — for the past 15 years. The general response from the CSP community has been one of “shock, sadness and a desire to help,” she adds. “No one in the Ventura County theater community wants to see this happen.”

Bingham agrees. “We’ve been residing in this location for 39 years, and to find out suddenly we have a matter of months to secure a way to stay was a surprise to everyone.”

for the property, so we are well-equipped to be stewards of the building for the years (and hopefully decades) to come.

We’ve also spoken with members of the Camarillo City Council as well as the city manager, and we are looking forward to more productive conversations in the very near future.”

Johnson and Bingham are also spreading the word on social media with #keepskywayflying, and asking people to contact the Camarillo City Council (council@cityofcamarillo.org or 805-388-5307). Perhaps the biggest show of support would be to come see CSP’s next production of As You Like It, which is being set in the 1980s.

Johnson explains what’s at stake. “We are the only live theatre in the city of Camarillo, providing space for plays, musicals, youth programming and other art.”

“The Camarillo Skyway Playhouse has a long history of service to the Camarillo community,” adds Bingham.

“Beyond the 39 years it has produced plays . . . it previously served as an entertainment venue for the servicemen and women who were stationed at the Oxnard Air Force Base … The current Camarillo Skyway Playhouse produces several shows a year for thousands of Camarillo and nearby patrons, and we house two youth groups — the Stage Door Players and Skyway Youth Theater.”

The Oxnard School District is expected to review bids soon. What if the CSP runs out of time?

“In the event we’re unable to raise the funds to purchase the building and it sells to an owner unwilling to let us remain, we’ve been starting conversations with nearby venues that may be able to house our group,” Bingham says.

The courthouse in Old Town Camarillo is currently being reviewed as a possible home for the theater company.

“We have a whole season planned and we are determined to finish it somehow,” Johnson adds. After As You Like It comes The Crucible, which is slated for April.

The show must go on. And so it will, if the Camarillo Skyway Playhouse has anything to say about it. ✦ Camarillo Skyway Playhouse, 330 Skyway Drive, Camarillo, 805-388-5716 or skywayplayhouse.org.

As It Is coming to Rock City Studios

by Alan Sculley

W

hen the 2017 album, Okay, was finished, frontman Patty Walters and the other members of As It Is knew they had taken an important step forward as a band.

“I think with Okay we felt this kind of musical liberation, where there were a lot of both darker songs and lighter songs [compared] to what we had done on our first record, just taking small steps in both directions to see how people kind of warmed to us experimenting musically,” Walters said of the album, the British band’s second release, in an early January phone interview.

“When it was all received so positively, it was this real sense of we really can be any band we want to be.”

With Okay under their belts, Walters and guitarist/ vocalist Ben Langford-Biss, the group’s lyricists and primary songwriters, also had big ambitions for the next album, The Great Depression. The only question was whether As It Is would remain a band.

“When we wrote, recorded and released and toured Okay, we were in one of the darkest places we’d been in as a band, and we didn’t know if The Great Depression was going to be our last record,” Walters said. “We had a change in the lineup. We lost a guitarist (Andy Westhead) and there was a certain amount of disagreement internally and just kind of stagnation between feeling like we weren’t living up to the potential or the vision of what everybody felt this band was meant to be. And through all of that, it was just this very difficult time and everybody kind of lost their way for [awhile].”

Plenty of questions about the band’s longevity existed, but over time, Walters, Langford-Biss and their bandmates (bassist Alistair Testo and drummer Patrick Foley) found their way back on track.

“We really started to be incredibly honest with each other and were able get through things in a much more healthy way because of that,” Walters said. “And going into 2019, we’ve never been more excited and rejuvenated to be doing this, to be in this band and writing these 12 — — January 17, 2019

songs and making these statements.”

Where Okay had been a personal look at depression, mental illness and disintegrating relationships, The Great Depression examines mental illness on more of a societal level.

“It really began as what was going to be an open exploration of [if] we as a scene and a society glamorize, romanticize and at times fetishize depression, anxiety and suicide,” Walters said of the concept.

It crystalized when Langford-Biss came up with the idea of creating a character, the poet, and using his story and afflictions as a way to address different aspects of mental illness and spur discussion about this issue.

“That was the idea, to make it about somebody who is in that position, about someone we call the poet, who is kind of torn, living in between his wife and the reaper, living in between death and ultimately trying to decide where he belongs,” Walters said.

Musically, The Great Depression is pretty bold, too.

The album features some of the band’s sharpest songwriting. It evades easy categorizing by blending some of the crunch of hardcore (particularly on songs like “The Wounded World” and “The Fire, The Dark”) with more melody than most music in that genre.

Walters said he has resisted thinking too much about the next musical step for As It Is (which also includes touring guitarist Ron Ish) and is keeping his focus on the tour. He noted that a good deal of effort has gone into creating a set list that honors the new album, but doesn’t get in the way of creating a show that’s meant to be as “grand, engaging and entertaining as possible.”

“It’s a highly conceptual record. There was a lot of thought put into the track listing, the music videos and all this kind of stuff. To a certain degree, we kind of leave that to the record,” he said. “And in regards to the set list, it’s really just about the overall flow, to be the best set pos✦ sible and what’s going to impact people the most.”

As It Is will perform on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m. at Rock City Studios, 2258 Pickwick Drive, Camarillo. For more information, call 805-383-3555 or visit www.rockcitystudios.net.

Dalton also loves supporting causes that help animals, and is currently gearing up to perform during a fundraiser for the Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center (SPARC) at 8 p.m. on Jan. 19 at the Majestic Ventura Theater.

“We will be performing some of the old favorites, along with some newer material,” said Dalton, whose hit records include “Takin’ It Easy” and “16th Avenue.”

“At the end of the show, I will preview the material from my soon-to-be released EP, Scarecrow, accompanied

by Dale Poune, the producer of the EP, Ira Ingber, and jackiO,” added Dalton, who lives in the mountains above Reno, Nevada.

The local show, which will also feature a silent auction, will be hosted

by English actor and Ojai resident Malcolm McDowell, (A Clockwork Orange, Cat People, Mozart in the Jungle). Tickets, which range from $45 to $130, can be purchased online at www.venturatheater.net.

Dalton noted that her friend, Jean-Marie Webster, was instrumental in founding SPARC. “The work they do is phenomenal. . . . It has created a paradigm for shelters, really, worldwide, with a philosophy of no-kill no-excuses, community outreach, and the philosophy that every animal deserves a chance,” Dalton said. Webster describes SPARC as an “open admission” animal shelter that’s committed to no-kill.

SPARC gives every arriving animal a second chance at life, and is actively rehabilitating and re-homing animals, while at the same time partnering with the community to provide resources and educate on the importance of spaying and neutering. The biggest expenses at SPARC are medical, and include fractured hips, broken bones, distemper, cancer, heart issues and upper respiratory in kittens. Webster hopes to sell 1,500 tickets at $45 each, and all the money raised will go towards SPARC’s medical expenses.

“It’s time we realize that animals are not disposable and that every animal, no matter the breed, deserves a chance,” Webster said. “The shy ones, the aggressive ones, the sick ones, the old and discarded ones . . . all are important.” ✦ The benefit concert for SPARC will be held on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 8 p.m. at the Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut St., Ventura. For tickets and more information, call 805-653-0721 or visit www.venturatheater.net. For more information on SPARC, call 805-525-8609 or visit www.santapaulaarc.org.

Pantry. As luck would have it, unbeknownst to

me, there was a really cool winemaker event Signature: __________________________

happening. A charming Italian winemaker from the Piedmonte region of northern Italy was pouring wines from the family winery named for his mother, Anna Maria Abbona. Added bonus: the $15 fee, for a flight of nine wines was a great deal.

Even at the early hour, the restaurant side of Paradise Pantry was filling up with singles at the tiny bar, couples, BFFs, and even a family with kids dining and imbibing.

The low lighting in the cozy and totally inviting venue made it comfortable for solo dining, since my dining companion cancelled last minute.

I was warmly welcomed by the waitress, one of the owners, Tina, and the winemakers, and felt completely comfortable on my own as each one came by my table with tastings and information on each wine or to see if I needed anything.

I choose wisely from the weekly specials menu: a delicious sounding flatbread, which would pair nicely with the wines and also leave room for dessert!

As Tina came and introduced herself and poured and explained the first wine, a lovely dry sparkling wine, she asked what I ordered from the waitress.

When I told her the flatbread, she replied: “Good choice.”

She couldn’t have been nicer and she was right about my order. It was an excellent choice, in fact. The flatbread with ribbons of zucchini and yellow squash, kale,

maple-scented pork was amazing and the wine pours were timed perfecting with my consumption. Sometimes the food and drink gods of the Universe shine upon a hungry patron.

A good-looking burger and the very popular Kei’s Killer Mac (mac with pancetta, sage and Portobello mushrooms) at another table enticed for another time. Regular menu items include artisan cheeses and charcuterie plates, seven pâté choices, spicy fish soup and weekly soups (creamy potato with duck comfit, for example) and yummy sounding salads. There are 10 sandwiches to choose from that include grilled cheese, an ono melt or roasted turkey and pesto. The Italiano! is a panini grilled sandwich comprised of Italian truffle cheese and baby arugula, wrapped with prosciutto.

By the time I’d finished the flatbread and neared the end of the tastings, I was feeling a bit decadent and decided to order the chocolate pot du crème to pair with the last two tastes: a Barolo and the sweet Asti Spumante.

The dark chocolate pot du crème was accompanied by mascarpone vanilla whipped cream, lovely ripe red berries and a berry rose sauce. I ate it all.

The wines offered daily are another story. Suffice to say there are plenty to choose from by the glass or the bottle.

I was so full I thought I’d burst, but so happy that I decided to float away like a balloon. I couldn’t have had a better experience if I was a Barbera grape (my favorite pour of the evening) that had been picked and bottled.

Paradise Pantry is not cheap, but it’s good value for the money. There’s a cheese counter and wine shop next to the restaurant where you can get tasty goods to go.

There’s also a monthly Sunday brunch with an amazing looking menu.

I plan on going back for one of their Friday or Saturday night dinners — fresh, local-caught ling cod, Snake River Wagyu and special pastas all appeal.

See what surprises are in store for you at the aptly named Paradise Pantry. ♦

TREVOR WALLACE

The ups and downs of The Upside

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com The Upside Directed by Neil Burger Starring: Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, Nicole Kidman Rated PG-13 for suggestive content and drug use 2 hrs., 6 min.

T

he Upside has had more lives than a boxful of cats. Based on the French film The Intouchables, it was first put on the American drawing board back in 2011. Then the carousel began.

The film changed directors, changed actors, changed writers, even changed distribution companies. Premiering in Toronto in 2017, it got shelved because of sexual abuse allegations brought against its original producer, Harvey Weinstein.

As a result, the film suffers, particularly in the writing. It’s as predictable as rush hour traffic and as lightheaded as the paragliders featured in the ending.

Still, there’s something to be said for chemistry among actors. If anything good can come from watching The Upside, it’s the leads: Cranston and Kevin Hart create enough appeal to overlook most of the film’s deficiencies.

Phillip Lacasse (Cranston) is a wealthy quadriplegic whose difficult temperament tests the patience of his administrative assistant, Yvonne Pendleton (Nicole Kidman), as well as a rotating crew of life auxiliaries who simply can’t manage his boredom and depression.

Dell Scott is an ex-con who is struggling to find a job and repair the damage he has caused to his family — wife Latrice (Aja Naomi King) and son Anthony (Jahi Di’Allo Winston). His parole officer is on his case to show that he’s looking for work. He needs to go to employers and get signatures to verify that he’s gone on job interviews. Dell doesn’t care about a job, but the signatures are a must. While his attitude is bad, he’s determined to hand in the paperwork and stay out of jail.

Responding to a name on his list, he shows up to Phillip’s home unaware of the job title, the responsi-

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000437-17-2.

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.

ADVICE GODDESS

by amy alkon insecure, I’ve felt insecure about my relationship with her. So...what do you think? Do I have a valid reason to feel neglected and invisible?

— Ignored

Cling Kong

M

y girlfriend of three years recently took a trip home for a weekend wedding. Before she left, I asked her, “Can you set my expectations as to how often I’ll hear from you?” She said she’d call every day. She called each of the three days but never stayed on the phone very long, always giving some excuse: She was in a bar, the hosts were sleeping, etc. In three days, she spent a total of 43 minutes speaking and reconnecting with me.

I told her I felt really hurt by how little time she allocated. She responded that there were things planned, that she was sometimes at the behest of others driving her places, etc. I am sure that’s all true. Though I’m not

Where there’s smoke — like, say, puffs of it coming out of a first-floor window — there’s sometimes a stick of incense burning; no reason to run for the garden hose and turn the living room into a stylishly furnished wading pool.

If your girlfriend imagined what you’d be doing in her absence, it probably wasn’t standing over the phone for 72 hours straight, willing it to ring. Chances are, she isn’t entirely tuned in to how insecure you are about her commitment to you.

Also, wedding weekends these days tend to be packed with activities from breakfast to nightcap. So ... there’s an initial idea of how much alone time one would have, and then there’s the actual free time between sleep, showering, and “Our ride’s here! You can take your rollers out on the way to the church!”

As for the het-up state you found yourself in, what I often call our “guard dog emotions” can be a little overprotective — and that’s actu-

ally an evolved feature, not a flaw.

It’s sometimes in our best interest to see unclearly. In fact, human perception evolved to be inaccurate at times — protectively inaccurate, explain evolutionary psychologists Martie Haselton and David Buss, in favor of helping us survive and pass on our genes.

This makes us prone to be oversensitive to signs of infidelity — which is to say, our suspicion is easily triggered, even by harmless, innocent behavior. This oversensitivity is evolutionarily sensible — protective of

ing for reassurance that ensue can make the cost of the relationship start to outweigh the benefits. This isn’t to say you can’t ask for reassurance; you just need to do it in a way that doesn’t make your partner long to put you out on the curb like an old couch.

First figure out whether there’s anything to those alarm bells going off in you — whether you have any reason to believe your girlfriend is cheating or is unhappy in the relationship. If not, chances are, your compulsion to turn her iPhone into her wireless leash stems from what the late psychologist Albert Ellis called “catastrophizing” — telling yourself it would be HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE and you would just DIE EVERY DAY FOREVER if your relationship ended. (Drama queen!) (P.S. We’ve all had our turn wearing the dingy tiara of gloom.)

The reality is, a breakup could lead to a stretch of mope-apalooza — weeks or months snot-sobbing into a pillow, along with the occasional sobfest in the frozen foods aisle. Obviously, you’d rather not go through this. HOWEVER! … if you did, you’d eventually recover, get back out there, and maybe even get into a

The jealousy, possessiveness, and badgering for reassurance that ensue can make the cost of the relationship start to outweigh the benefits. our interests. For example, it’s typically much more costly for a man to be undersensitive — all “Naw, I’m sure everything’s fine!” — when he’s about to be deceived into paying for college, grad school, and rehab for a kid with some other dude’s genes.

The problem is, an infidelity alarm system that defaults to DEFCON “HOW DARE YOU, YOU HUSSY!” can also take a toll, even on a partner who really loves you. The jealousy, possessiveness, and badger-

relationship that’s better for you.

Reflect regularly (like, daily) on this rational corrective to your irrational thinking; accept that your relationship could end and admit that you could deal if it did. Once you calm down a little, ask your girlfriend for clarification and reassurance about her feelings for you.

In time, when she’s away, you could be obsessing over those highly enjoyable activities we women call “weird gross guy stuff ”: Eat black bean taquitos and try to break your previous records for fart volume and velocity. Play “Minecraft” for 46 hours straight, wearing only a pair of superhero underwear. And finally, seize the opportunity to create timeless art — which is to say, draw a face on your penis and shoot remakes of classic films: “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope!” ♦ (c)2019, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. Got a problem? Write Amy Alkon, 171 Pier Ave, #280, Santa Monica, CA 90405, or e-mail AdviceAmy@aol.com. @amyalkon on Twitter.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

In 1917, leaders of the Christian sect Jehovah’s Witnesses prophesied that all earthly governments would soon disappear and Christianity would perish. In 1924, they predicted that the ancient Hebrew prophet Moses would be resurrected and speak to people everywhere over the radio. In 1938, they advised their followers not to get married or have children, because the end of civilization was nigh. In 1974, they said there was only a “short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.” I bring these failed predictions to your attention, Aries, so as to get you in the mood for my prediction, which is: all prophecies that have been made about your life up until now are as wrong as the Jehovah Witnesses’ visions. In 2019, your life will be bracingly free of old ideas about who you are and who you’re supposed to be. You will have unprecedented opportunities to prove that your future is wide open.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Movie critic Roger Ebert defined the term “idiot plot” as “any film plot containing problems that would be solved instantly if all of the characters were not idiots.” I bring this to your attention because I suspect there has been a storyline affecting you that in some ways fits that description. Fortunately, any temptation you might have had to go along with the delusions of other people will soon fade. I expect that as a result, you will catalyze a surge of creative problem-solving. The idiot plot will transform into a much smarter plot.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

In 1865, Prussia’s political leader, Otto von Bismarck, got angry when an adversary, Rudolf Virchow, suggested cuts to the proposed military budget. Bismarck challenged Virchow to a duel. Virchow didn’t want to fight, so he came up with a clever plan. As

by rob brezsny

the challenged party, he was authorized to choose the weapons to be used in the duel. He decided upon two sausages. His sausage would be cooked; Bismarck’s sausage would be crammed with parasitic roundworms. It was a brilliant stratagem. The proposition spooked Bismarck, who backed down from the duel. Keep this story in mind if you’re challenged to an argument, dispute, or conflict in the coming days. It’s best to figure out a tricky or amusing way to avoid it altogether.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Psychologists define the Spotlight Effect as our tendency to imagine that other people are acutely attuned to every little nuance of our behavior and appearance. The truth is that they’re not, of course.

Most everyone is primarily occupied with the welter of thoughts buzzing around inside his or her own head. The good news, Virgo, is that you are well set up to capitalize on this phenomenon in the coming weeks. I’m betting you will achieve a dramatic new liberation: you’ll be freer than ever before from the power of people’s opinions to inhibit your behavior or make you self-conscious.

An imaginative 27-year-old man with the pseudonym Thewildandcrazyoli decided he was getting too old to keep his imaginary friend in his life. So he took out an ad on Ebay, offering to sell that long-time invisible ally, whose name was John Malipieman.

Soon his old buddy was dispatched to the highest bidder for $3,000. Please don’t attempt anything like that in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You need more friends, not fewer—both of the imaginary and nonimaginary variety. Now is a ripe time to expand your network of compatriots.

What North America community is farthest north?

It’s an Alaskan city that used to be called Barrow, named after a British admiral. But in 2016, local residents voted to reinstate the name that the indigenous Iñupiat people had once used for the place: Utqiaqvik. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that in the coming weeks, you take inspiration from their decision, Libra. Return to your roots.

Pay homage to your sources. Restore and revive the spirit of your original influences.

LEO

SCORPIO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

In December 1981, novice Leo filmmaker James Cameron got sick, fell asleep, and had a disturbing dream. He saw a truncated robot armed with kitchen knives crawling away from an explosion. This nightmare ultimately turned out to be a godsend for Cameron. It inspired him to write the script for the 1984 film The Terminator, a successful creation that launched him on the road to fame and fortune. I’m expecting a comparable development in your near future, Leo. An initially weird or difficult event will actually be a stroke of luck.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

The Alaskan town of Talkeetna has a population of 900, so it doesn’t require a complicated political structure to manage its needs. Still, it made a bold statement by electing a cat as its mayor for 15 years. Stubbs, a part-manx, won his first campaign as a write-in candidate, and his policies were so benign—no new taxes, no repressive laws—that he kept getting re-elected. What might be the equivalent of having a cat as your supreme leader for a while, Scorpio? From an astrological perspective, now would be a favorable time to implement that arrangement. This phase of your cycle calls for

relaxed fun and amused mellowness and laissezfaire jauntiness.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Trees need to be buffeted by the wind. It makes them strong. As they respond to the pressure of breezes and gusts, they generate a hardier kind of wood called reaction wood. Without the assistance of the wind’s stress, trees’ internal structure would be weak and they might topple over as they grew larger. I’m pleased to report that you’re due to receive the benefits of a phenomenon that’s metaphorically equivalent to a brisk wind. Exult in this brisk but lowstress opportunity to toughen yourself up!

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Writing at ThePudding, pop culture commentator Colin Morris reveals the conclusions he drew after analyzing 15,000 pop songs. First, the lyrics of today’s tunes have significantly more repetitiveness than the lyrics of songs in the 1960s. Second, the most popular songs, both then and now, have more repetitive lyrics than the average song. Why? Morris speculates that repetitive songs are catchier.

But in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you Capricorns to be as unrepetitive as possible in the songs you sing, the messages you communicate, the moves you make, and the ideas you articulate. In the coming weeks, put a premium on originality, unpredictability, complexity, and novelty.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

In May 1927, Aquarian aviator Charles Lindbergh made a pioneering flight in his one-engine plane from New York to Paris. He became instantly famous. Years later, Lindbergh testified that partway through his epic journey he was visited by a host of odd, vaporous beings who suddenly appeared in his small cabin. They spoke with him, demonstrat-

ing a sophisticated understanding of navigation and airplane technology. Lindbergh’s spirits were buoyed. His concentration, which had been flagging, revived. He was grateful for their unexpected support. I foresee a comparable kind of assistance becoming available to you sometime soon, Aquarius. Don’t waste any time being skeptical about it; just welcome it.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

More than four centuries ago, a Piscean samurai named Honda Tadakatsu became a leading general in the Japanese army. In the course of his military career, he fought in more than a hundred battles. Yet he never endured a major wound and was never beaten by another samurai. I propose we make him your inspirational role model for the coming weeks.

As you navigate your way through interesting challenges, I believe that like him, you’ll lead a charmed life. No wounds. No traumas. Just a whole lot of educational adventures.

mental health and substance use disorders

If you or your family is struggling, I invite you to call for a complimentary assessment and family session Tribe’s Clinical Director Nancy Swanson, better known as “The Ninja Therapist,” recommends these five tips for choosing the right treatment program.

1. Look for a personal touch. How much time does a program clinician spend getting to understand your story and history before you commit?

2. Addiction and mental health disorders take a heavy toll on families, and everyone needs to learn news ways of relating.

Great programs have full family participation, so ask what the program offers families.

3. Assess the level of positive peer community. What steps does the program take in creating a nurturing, honest, and supportive community environment. Sobriety and joy rarely flourish in isolation.

4. Addiction is powerful and early recovery can be rough.

Medications are available to curb cravings, allowing the addict/alcoholic to more easily focus on the business of recovery. Insure the program supports “MAT,” or medication-assisted treatment for an unspecified duration (everyone’s journey is individual).

5. Alcohol and drugs are not the problem - they have been the alcoholic/addict’s solution. At the core of most addiction is trauma, so let’s get at what that is and move forward in a joyful and productive life. Ask about traumainformed treatment.
