OPINION Editorial

War on drugs: worsening outcomes T he news came out last week that federal agents made two significant drug busts at the Port of Hueneme with the interception and seizure of more than 220 pounds of cocaine in two cargo ships in late January. For proponents of the war on drugs, it was nothing more than good news. The seizure meant that access to the potent upper would be limited, at least for the time being. But upon reflection, while the bust at the port itself is of historical importance — the biggest of its kind in 25 years — a quick search for drug busts in Ventura County reveals that what happened at the port was practically trivial compared to the ongoing and routine arrests and seizure of drugs just in the last year.

In December 2018, 15 arrests were made with the seizure of heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana, along with handguns, ammunition and a large stash of cash. (Reports didn’t specify amounts.)

In October, 15 arrests along with the seizure of 285 pounds of methamphetamine, 121 pounds of cocaine, six pounds of Fentanyl and 600 counterfeit oxycodone pills. In September, a Winnetka man was arrested for possession of four pounds of methamphetamine and two ounces of heroin. In March, 30 arrests along with the seizure of a pound of heroin. And those reports were just at the top of the search results. There were plenty more arrests, from misdemeanors for personal use to smaller drug deals, that didn’t catch national attention.

For the March arrest, however, Ventura County Sgt. Victor Fazio told reporters, “We have to stay diligent because we know it won’t be long before another comes in and fills that void.” Given what has happened since that major arrest, it doesn’t appear authorities can be diligent enough to stop the supply chain. So what about focusing on the demand aspect?

The war on drugs seems to keep the jails full and the rehab centers occupied, but what is the value of drugs if they are

he U.S. military is now producing wars as often as Hollywood produces films.

The Pentagon, and their Directors, the corporate media, are reeling them out, releasing them one after the other. And the well advertised trailers are rolling across the global screen too: COMING SOON! IRAN! Check out the summer release of North Korea! And of course don’t miss the recent release, VENEZUELA! They are replete with cameo performances by top actors like Elliot Abrams (the

no longer desired — or prohibited, for that matter? By all appearances, the legal prohibition of all the aforementioned drugs keeps thousands of people employed, from law enforcement to attorneys and judges too. Imagine what would become of the justice system and all those who benefit from it if all drugs were legal.

With FDA-approved drugs, such as opioids Fentanyl and OxyContin and even Adderall, a legal upper with almost identical side effects to methamphetamine, our current approach of punishing those addicted to drugs and trying to combat the proliferation of drugs through arrest seems counterproductive. The only so-called gateway aspect when it comes to marijuana is that it was legally prohibited for decades.

But what about prescription drugs that have a schedule 1 narcotic equivalent? How many addicts started with legal drugs and wound up buying the street version at a lesser cost?

In January, the National Safety Council released its findings on preventable deaths, with opioid overdoses taking the lead over car accidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 130 Americans die each day overdosing on opioids. For 2018, total loss of life due to drug overdose: 70,237. The number of people dying from drug overdoses isn’t abating, the number of arrests doesn’t appear to be decreasing and yet we are still fighting this war on drugs.

In The Netherlands, by contrast, the government funds heroin use with specific parameters and in 2016, 235 people died of heroin use for the whole year. While The Netherlands has only a fraction of the U.S. population, 17 million versus 325 million, to match U.S. drug deaths, The Netherlands would have to increase to 3,674 deaths per year. What is the war on drugs for if not to prevent dangerous outcomes? Until we start talking about the true purpose of this lethal and costly war, we should expect more of the same or worse results.

Guatemalan mass murderer) Michael Pompeo (the arch type torturer, and the wonderful NSA character actor, John Bolton (Allen Dulles’ twin brother by a different mother). The old star, Hitler, is rolling over in his grave with jealousy.

All films are distributed by Fascism Gone Wild. So prepare yourself for this year’s award shows. We start off with the Bolton Globe Awards, followed by the JAG awards, and then of course the shock-and-awe finale, the Academy of Wars. Stay tuned for which political actor will win best war contractor. The suspense is killing me, you, and all of us. Coming soon, the next war! in “theaters” nearer and nearer you. And don’t forget to look for Mad Dog Mattis’ new star on the Walk of Fame.

And the host of this year’s Academy of Wars is none other than CNN’s Wolf (Blitzkrieg) Blitzer, with a special war eulogy by Brian Williams. And rumor has it he’ll be parachuting from a Black Hawk down to the Red Carpet!

Real or not, it should be Fasctastic!

And some of you can take this all the way to the bank, we promise this year’s wars will be even more action packed thrillers than last years. We can only hope that we have enough endurance and disability to see them all, or enough money left over for the popcorn. But not to worry, it will be well worth it for at least 0.1 percent of us. So lace up those goosestepping shoes and get on down to the next movie, knowing, one man’s Best Picture is another man’s full blown terror, or, it’s only entertainment when you’re not in it.

news In Brief VENTURA STREET DEDICATED TO FORMER COUNCILMAN

Former Ventura City Councilman James Monahan has been honored with the naming of James Monahan Way, a street that runs parallel to city hall.

Monahan served as a councilmember for 41 years, retiring in December 2018. The new street runs from Poli Street to the City Hall parking lot, where it meets the entryway to the Ventura Botanical Gardens.

Monahan received many accolades during his tenure, including being named the 2018 Citizen of the Year Award by the Ventura Chamber of Commerce. Monahan founded Ventura’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade and was a vocal proponent of the recently opened veterans’ home in Ventura County.

Changes in state law may allow medical marijuana deliveries in Ventura despite city ordinance

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

A

lmost two years after the Ventura City Council passed an ordinance allowing for the delivery of medical marijuana, deliveries have yet to be made due to inaction on exactly which dispensaries will be allowed to do so, per the terms of the ordinance. Now a new state law may allow for deliveries regardless. The City Council is set to discuss the issue next month.

In November 2017, the City Council voted unanimously (sans former City Councilman Neal Andrews, who was absent) to allow medical marijuana deliveries from up to three dispensaries within the city so long as they are outside of city limits but within Ventura County. This was the same council meeting during which the city adopted district-based elections.

The following month, the city came to a standstill when the Thomas Fire erupted and a state of emergency was declared, leaving the ordinance in limbo.

According to the city of Ventura’s Cannabis fact sheet (viewable online at www.cityofventura.ca.gov/1270/Cannabis-Fact-Sheet), the ordinance allows for a maximum of three delivery services to operate within city limits. The

‘‘

standards and criteria for picking said businesses must first be set, however, and during the State of Emergency, that process was put on hold with a promise to allow businesses to apply for a permit once the declaration was lifted.

The State of Emergency declaration was lifted in August of 2018, eight months after the Thomas Fire, and permits have yet to be issued, dispensaries yet to be selected.

The inaction prompted Ojai-based marijuana dispensary Sespe Creek to ask its customers to contact Ventura City Council regarding the situation.

“If you are a Ventura resident we urge you to contact your elected city officials,” — Ventura Mayor Matt LaVere read the newsletter issued on Wednesday, Feb. 13, announcing new delivery routes in Santa Paula, Camarillo, Fillmore and Moorpark as well as into Santa Barbara County. “This is a new City Council so there is a reason to hope things will be better in the future.”

Chelsea Sutula, president and CEO of Sespe Creek, says that outside of Ojai, Ventura residents make up most of her clientele. Sutula says that prior to the November 2018 elections, the City Council may have taken their time on setting standards for the ordinance to take effect.

I think it will be easier to get deliveries in Ventura after the revise.”

Local environmental advocacy groups are applauding the introduction of federal legislation protecting national monuments across the nation, including the Carrizo Plain, part of which exists in Ventura County.

On Thursday, Feb. 7, the America’s Natural Treasures of Immeasurable Quality Unite, Inspire, and Together Improve the Economies of States (ANTIQUITIES) Act of 2019 was introduced and cosponsored by more than 100 Democratic members of Congress, including both California Senators Kamala Harris and Diane Feinstein.

The Act officially declares Congress’ support for the 52 national monuments established between 1996 and 2018, reinforces existing law requiring an act of Congress to reduce or diminish a national monument, and enhances protections for presidentially designated national monuments to match that of congressionally designated monuments, including requiring proper funding and drafting management plans.

“We’re thrilled that this new Congress is taking its obligation seriously to protect and preserve our nation’s rich legacy of public lands,” said Los Padres ForestWatch Public Lands Advocate Rebecca August. “National parks, forests and monuments have faced countless threats. This bill will secure the future of these iconic landscapes so that we can all continue to explore and enjoy them for generations to come.”

Congressman Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, is one of the House co-sponsors. The Carrizo Plain, which exists within Carbajal’s jurisdiction, was established as a national monument in 2001 and is referred to as California’s Serengeti, covering more than 206,000 acres spanning San Luis Obispo, Kern, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.

CAMARILLO TO HOST PARKINSON’S DISEASE CONFERENCE

The Parkinson’s Foundation will host an educational conference in Camarillo on Friday, Feb. 22, dubbed “Exercise and the Brain: The Parkinson’s Connection.”

“Exercise is an important part of managing Parkinson’s symptoms,” said Deuk Perrin, a Parkinson’s Foundation hospital safety advocate residing in Ventura County. “It’s good to try different exercises to find what you enjoy. I’m looking forward to moving and learning!”

The conference will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Camarillo Community Center Auditorium, 1605 Burnley St., Camarillo.

Attendance is free, but registration is required. For more information, visit www.parkinson.org/ventura.

MASSIVE COCAINE BUST AT PORT OF HUENEME

PHOTO BY JAKE SANDELL @BTO_LOCALEYECARE

More than 200 pounds of cocaine were seized by federal authorities at the Port of Hueneme on Jan. 22 and Jan. 28, hidden aboard ships from Ecuador and Guatemala — the largest drug bust in over 25 years.

The first bust, conducted by officers from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations, netted 204.2 pounds of cocaine hidden beneath floorboards aboard a refrigerated cargo vessel. The second netted 17.5 pounds, again found beneath the floorboards of a second ship, bringing the total to 221.7 pounds.

“This is the largest drug seizure at Port Hueneme in the last quarter of a century,” said LaFonda Sutton-Burke, Customs and Border Patrol port director of the LA/Long Beach Seaport, and Port Hueneme, in a statement. “I’m extremely proud of the results of this joint effort. It shows the professionalism, vigilance and keen focus of both agencies in preventing dangerous drugs into our communities.”

HELICOPTER HELPS FIND SUSPECT IN CAMARILLO

A helicopter unit responded to a pursuit in Camarillo on Sunday, Feb. 17, leading to the arrest of a man wanted for a misdemeanor warrant.

An officer from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department approached the suspect in the park-and-ride lot off of Pleasant Valley Road on Sunday morning when the suspect fled on foot, speeding through a nearby gas station before hurdling over a fence and into a residential backyard, where he hid in bushes.

The Copter 3 air unit located the man in the backyard, where he was contacted by deputies and arrested without incident.

SUSPECT IN COURT AFTER RUNNING OVER T.O. HIGH SCHOOL EMPLOYEE

A 16-year old Newbury Park student of Thousand Oaks High School remains in custody following a violent hit-and-run incident during which a 50-year old school employee was critically injured.

On Friday, Feb. 8, during a school basketball game, Lisa Solis, a Thousand Oaks High staff member, chased the suspect from the auditorium after allegedly witnessing him stealing concessions. The suspect and four others ran from the auditorium and into a sedan. Solis stepped in front of the vehicle to stop the boys from leaving the scene when the suspect accelerated, running over and critically injuring Solis.

The teen was later arrested at his Newbury Park home. The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office alleged that the teen committed assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury with the special allegation that he caused great bodily injury during commission of the felony.

At the hearing on Thursday, Feb. 14, defense attorney Ron Bamieh requested that the suspect be released to his family while awaiting trial citing a lack of prior convictions, suggesting that the incident was the result of inexperience and panic.

The request was denied by Superior Court Judge Kevin McGee, the suspect remaining in juvenile hall.

Depending on whether or not the teen is tried as an adult, he could remain in custody until he is 25 years old or face a maximum of seven years in state prison.

VENTURA ARMED ROBBERY SUSPECT TAKEN DOWN BY K-9 UNIT

A convicted felon armed with an assault rifle was apprehended with assistance from two police dogs after an armed robbery at a Ventura Subway restaurant.

At around 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 7, the Ventura Police Department says that 43-year-old Eugene Hernandez entered the restaurant on the 4600 block of Telegraph Road and demanded money from the cash register before leaving with an undisclosed amount.

Hernandez was later spotted walking along Telegraph Road near Transport Street before dropping a bag containing an assault rifle and cash and fleeing into a nearby orchard. K-9 officers responded and located Hernandez in a tree. He did not respond to orders by officers, suffering minor injuries when the K-9 units were used to assist in the arrest.

Hernandez will be charged with robbery, felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a high capacity magazine and resisting arrest, said police.

Hernandez was also wanted in San Bernardino County for a felony warrant for a parole violation.

MAN ARRESTED IN VENTURA FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE

The Ventura Police Department says that on Saturday, Feb. 9, Ventura resident Anthony Manzano, 32, was arrested and booked into Ventura County Jail on suspicion of indecent exposure.

At around 10:35 p.m., officers responded to a call of a subject engaged in lewd activity outside of a residential window on the 11100 block of Citrus Drive in Ventura. Responding officers searched for the suspect and found an acquaintance of the victim had subdued Manzano.

Police say that there may be additional victims and anyone with further information should contact the Ventura Police Detectives at 805-339-4488.

It is located 15 miles past Ojai, up Highway 33 off Sespe Road on the west end of the Topa Topa Mountains in Los Padres National Forest. For more information, go to www. hikespeak.com/trails/rose-valley-falls-padres/.

ROLL Continued from Page 6 “It’s a crafty way of procrastinating on the ordinance and using the Thomas Fire as an excuse to not having done it more than a year later,” said Sutula.

Following changes to state law, the city may not have a say on who can deliver medical marijuana within its jurisdiction, however. In December, the state of California clarified its laws, allowing for deliveries of marijuana even in areas that ban the sale of cannabis, this coming two years after legalizing marijuana via Proposition 64.

Mead Whippo, president and CEO of the recently opened Emerald Perspective in Port Hueneme, says that delivering in Ventura “wouldn’t scare [him] at all.”

“I can tell you this, that the way the state law is written, the city of Ventura would have an extremely difficult time upholding anything like that and it will come down to who enforces it,” said Whippo. “What are the police going to write a ticket for?”

Emerald Perspective maintains a delivery service to Lompoc and the Santa Ynez Valley, where Whippo first established his business. Whippo says that he expects deliveries to start in Ventura and Oxnard in the next month or so.

“If I’m delivering in that town and doing it legally and I’m licensed properly and the driver is licensed and the vehicle is legal and we follow all posted traffic laws, where are we going to find trouble?” said Whippo.

Changes to the law may have been influenced by stagnant cannabis sales. In a report released in December 2018, the LA Times wrote that the state hadn’t seen the “bustling industry” that it expected, citing “complex regulations, high taxes and decisions

by most cities to ban cannabis shops.”

Ventura Mayor Matt LaVere says that the ordinance had been discussed following the lifting of the State of Emergency but that rumors regarding changes in the state law put plans on hold.

“What’s the point of spending more time and resources crafting this ordinance that looked like pretty soon would be moot?” said LaVere. Once the changes to the law were implemented in January, LaVere says the ordinance was revisited. “The next step is that we’re discussing the item in March, we’re going to be addressing an item from our staff who will come to us saying here’s the new law and should we revise the MATT LEVERE new ordinance to comply with the state law. That means soon thereafter deliveries will be allowed per state law.”

LaVere says that at the same meeting in March there will be a larger discussion regarding the future of marijuana in the city.

“I think it will be easier to get deliveries in Ventura after the revise,” said LaVere.

Sutula says that as it stands, Ventura’s undefined ordinance leaves her weary to deliver in the city despite the changes to state law.

“Since from a legal standpoint they may have made a reasonable effort to regulate it, the state might take the position that if we deliver and we’re not one of those three that the city has deemed worthy for making those deliveries, then we’re in violation of F that ordinance,” said Sutula.

Attendees will learn, play and explore — and, above all, refresh their relationship with animals and each other.

“There are conventions about animal welfare, and then there are pop culture conventions, but rarely, if ever, do the two meet,” said event organizer Carolyn Mullin of Ventura. “RESCUECON has thoughtful content, lots of heart, and tons of room for learning, exploring, connecting and having fun.”

Presented by the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center, RESCUECON will take place Feb. 23-24, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“In putting together RESCUECON, a convention where animal welfare and the arts intersect, we wanted to create a memorable and rejuvenating experience that was fun, fresh, out-of-the-box, and inspiring,” Mullin said. “And we want to make sure that everyone, no matter how involved they are in rescue or how much they care for animals, was welcome to attend and find their niche . . . or a new furry family member.”

With that mind, she noted that RESCUECON is a two-part event: There is a free adoption fair open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and also a ticketed convention chock full of activities, speakers and fun. Two-day admission costs $40; single-day tickets are $25. A percentage of ticket sales will benefit Ventura County Animal Services and its foundation.

BUNNY YOGA, YAPPY HOUR

The adoption fair features nonprofits including Ventura County Animal Services, SurfCat Rescue and the Bunny Brigade, who will bring animals in need of forever homes.

Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to meet representatives from other local nonprofits, such as the California Coastal Horse Rescue, and learn more about what’s going on in their own backyards.

“Perhaps there’s a great volunteer opportunity for them, a potential field trip location, or an issue that they’ll learn about that calls them to action,” Mullin said.

Also free for the public is access to an animal-friendly marketplace, Crazy Cat Lady Exhibition and Cat Café.

“Following the exhibit, guests can enjoy a cup of Joe and meet the special-needs kitties of Surfcat Rescue,” Mullin said. “For those folks ready to take the next step, learn more, go deeper or just do something wildly different that weekend, the convention is just the ticket.”

Each morning kicks off with bunny yoga, an optional activity. If attendees get hungry, they can try plant-based bites from local food trucks Evolution Burger or the Wandering Pie. Beyond the event’s keynote speakers, such as The Kitten Lady (Hannah Shaw) or Ellie Laks, founder of The Gentle Barn, there will be breakout sessions on topics featuring cultural anthropologists and veterinarians, world renowned artists and photographers and local rescue heroes.

Laks, a resident of Santa Clarita, will share her experience in animal rescue over the last 20 years, and talk about how “everyone can be a rescuer in their own lives.” She’ll also be signing copies of her book, My Gentle Barn.

“I’m hoping to inspire people to care more, do more and know that we are more powerful and impactful than we think we are,” Laks said. “As individuals, we can all change the world for the better.”

An event like this is so important, Laks added, because we all need to band together to protect our beautiful planet

and everyone in it, human and non.

“We all need to work harder to be more aware, care more and be part of the solution for animals,” Laks said. “In saving animals, we save the planet, and in saving the planet we save ourselves. So it all is important to each of us.”

Ventura resident Cappi Patterson, president of the nonprofit Buddy Nation, will talk about the importance of this organization, which helps the homeless with veterinary bills and other costly services for their pets while they’re living on the streets.

“They will see how every single person can help in some way,” Patterson said. “We take calls seven days a week and into the evenings, answering every call and doing something about each one, even if only a referral, which we then follow up.”

Attendees can visit a dedicated craft room, with supplies donated by Art From Scrap in Santa Barbara, where they can crochet a sweater for a bunny, build a cat castle of cardboard or other activities.

“In our commercial kitchen, attendees can discover and make healthy treats for their animal companions or learn how to have a waste-free kitchen with the Martha Stewart of plantbased goodness, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau,” Mullin said.

Additionally, a “Yappy Hour” in the courtyard will round out the day with music and time for mingling.

“Our hope is that this weekend is a time for animal lovers to connect and build relationships which in turn strengthens our local rescue community,” Mullin said.

event was refreshing and truly exciting,” emphasized Mullin, further noting that Chelsea Reynolds, director of the PACC, is also an avid animal lover, guardian for a rescued pit and enthusiast for the arts and pop culture.

“Together, we’re really overjoyed to present an event that’s dynamic and one of a kind,” Mullin said.

The goal is “pretty multi-pronged,” she continued.

“First and foremost, we’re excited to present original programming that highlights the arts and builds a strong conART EXHIBITIONS nection to our community at large,” Mullin AND LIVE said. “We hope that folks PERFORMANCES will learn a thing or two, In other offerings, the be inspired to do more theater lobby will host for animals and, ideally, the Crazy Cat Lady exhimake a dent in pet overKrõõt Juurak and Alex Bailey, who reside in Vienna, Austria, bition, first shown in Los population.” engage in Performances for Pets, which they describe as “an Angeles and curated by Some animal conveninterspecies performance specifically for cats or dogs.” “bonafide cat lady” Lisa tions “are all glossy and Levinson, works to dismore about pampered mantle the cat lady stepets,” Patterson noted. reotype.

There will also be about 25 speakers presenting at vendors from across Southern RESCUECON California, including Sweet Cedar Jewelry Design by Barbara Remick out of Santa Barbara.

“Most of her jewelry is animal themed and speaks to the human-animal bond — a perfect fit for RESCUECON,” Mullin said.

Events like these can be a bit overwhelming, “so we’ll have a special chill out spot where folks can sit or knit with a pit, featuring pit bull mixes from Ventura County Animal Services.

We’ll have yarn and crochet needles for guests eager to make a sweater for a pittie,” she adds.

“GRITTIER AND MORE REALISTIC”

Before joining the city of Oxnard and the PACC, Mullin spent the majority of her nonprofit career in animal protection, working and/or volunteering for both national and local organizations.

“Event planning and creating a dynamic culture and community for these organizations was at the core of my efforts,” Mullin said.

During the hiring process in Oxnard, she was asked to put together a sample community program, “and I pitched a convention much like the one we’re bringing to fruition now.”

“For the city and leadership to be supportive of this type of

PERFORMANCES FOR PETS

In other unique offerings, Krõõt Juurak and Alex Bailey, who reside in Vienna, Austria, will present Performances for Pets, which they describe as “an interspecies performance specifically for cats or dogs.”

This effort started in 2014 and the two have since performed for more than 150 different cats and dogs across European cities.

“We meet the pet(s) and their owner and find out about the character and any special likes and dislikes of the pet and adapt the performance to the particular pet and space,” Bailey explained. “The performance itself is a mixture of mimicry, body and mind techniques imitating various forms of nonhuman voice and body languages, empathizing with possible meaning or connection with our audience.”

For RESCUECON, they will present performances for individual dogs, or groups of dogs if they are accustomed to one another.

“The performance is for the dogs’ entertainment and their human owners are welcome to also watch,” said Bailey, noting that a performance for dogs is typically 15 to 20 minutes long. “From a human perspective, what we do looks like a hybrid between dance, theater and performance art, but for pets, the distinctions between dance, theater and art are not so relevant.”

The duo has come up with routines in collaboration with their pet audiences, as well as cat and dog therapists-collaborators Bina Lunzer and Petra Ott, also from Vienna.

Above all, they hope their presence at RESCUECON shares “a unique interspecies experience with dogs and their owners.”

“In seemingly inhuman times, our relationship to animals F reminds us of our humaneness,” Bailey said.

PUPPY PARTY CANDIDATE ANNOUNCES BID FOR U.S. PRESIDENT IN OXNARD Step aside, Democratic and Republican 2020 contenders: the Puppy Party has thrown its paw into the ring.

Seven, a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, will announce his candidacy at 10 a.m. during the opening ceremonies of RESCUECON on Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center.

“I’m running for president because I believe a dog with a face like mine can bring humans together,” said Seven in the announcement newsletter. “Humans can learn a lot from their dogs and now is the time for dogs across the country to teach the art of unconditional love and respect.”

RESCUECON takes place Feb. 23-24 at the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard. For tickets and more information, call 805-799-0381, email Carolyn Mullin at carolyn.mullin@oxnard.org or visit www.rescuecon.org.

A family of strangers The Humans at Santa Paula Theater Center

T

he Blake family gathers for Thanksgiving in unfamiliar territory: honesty. Try as they might to tread lightly with polite conversation, they find themselves uprooting long-buried secrets and resentments. Coming together is a heartwrenching yet ultimately redemptive experiment, as they try to make it through dinner without falling apart.

Stephen Karam’s Tony winner and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize is onstage at the Santa Paula Theater Center through March 10. It is directed with heart by Jessi May Stevenson, who leads her cast through a family drama that navigates the complex terrain of love, loyalty, regret, mortality, failed hopes and fallen Towers.

The host of Thanksgiving dinner is Brigid, the youngest Blake sister, a millennial with something to prove to her family, herself and her older boyfriend, Richard (the always funto-watch Brian Robert Harris). Brigid (played with sincere emotion by Emma-Rose Allen) is proud to show off the couple’s new digs: a duplex (a handy staging device) in New York City’s Chinatown. Brigid’s parents, Erik and Deirdre (Michael Perlmutter and Angela

DeCicco), don’t quite share Brigid’s enthusiasm for the quirky apartment, with its loud neighbors, faulty wiring and giant bugs.

Perlmutter as father Erik embodies the pain of a man haunted by tragedy and his

own failings. DeCicco captures the emotions of a mother attempting to reconnect with her grown children while trying to see her way forward, even as she is anchored to a man who has cut her to the quick. Erik and Deirdre put

publicspectacle COLD WINTER’S LIGHT

O

n a cold, clear, windy night, hundreds of paper lanterns — illuminated with LED lights — were hung along Main Street in Downtown Ventura for the city’s first ever Lantern Street Festival.

Attendees braved the cold to decorate and hang their own lanterns, shop at vendor booths and dance to live musical performances, which included a set by country duo Pretty Polly (pictured). It was a night to celebrate the light and, for a time, banish the darkness of winter.

on a brave face for their girls, but soon realize their daughters have secrets of their own.

The other guests include Brigid’s sister, Aimee (Hayley Cariker), who is struggling with health issues and a broken heart. Cariker taps into the anguish of a young woman battling forces she can’t control. Then there is Momo (Rosalee Calvillo), Erik’s elderly mother, who suffers from dementia and is confined to a wheelchair. Even though Momo is often relegated to the periphery of the action, Calvillo makes her presence felt.

Everyone is on their best behavior, but you can almost hear the grinding of teeth behind the smiles. It’s not that they don’t love each other. They do. They just don’t really know each other. It becomes abundantly clear that Richard is not the only outsider here. Every Blake, it seems, is a stranger in their own life.

Over the course of the evening, the walls come down because they just can’t bear the weight of the years any longer. Sharam’s play weaves humor and humanity throughout the drama, as he wrestles with themes as intimate as family and as global as 9/11.

Stevenson and the cast make the most of the clever work done by scenic designer Mike Carnahan, lighting designer Gary Richardson and sound designers Stevenson and Allan Noel.

Together they’ve built a world that, depending on the moment, feels like a charming love nest or a buzzing hive of family history. The costumes by Barbara Pedziwiatr complete each character — from Erik’s rumpled blue-collar clothes to Richard’s upper-crust preppy look.

Props mistress Gail Heck gives the cast plenty to play with. Stage managers Leticia Mattson and Colette Swan and producer Leslie Nichols round out the talented crew.

Thanksgiving with the Blakes is fraught, yet it holds a promise. Even though humans are indeed complicated creatures, in the end, maybe we all can see the light. ✦

Americana artist Alice Wallace to perform in Ojai

by Alicia Doyle

alicia@aliciadoyle.com

S

inging and writing songs since she was a teen, Alice Wallace drew influence from strong female singers — artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Bonnie Raitt — who made the biggest impact when she was finding her own voice.

Today, “although many might call my music country, it’s really a mix of country and blues and folk and rock, with a little yodeling thrown in for good measure, because I think that’s a lost art that deserves to be found,” said Wallace, who was named the 2017 California Country Awards Female Vocalist of the Year.

In other accolades, in 2016, she won the L.A. Music Critic Award for both Best Country/Americana Artist and Best Official Music Video (female). Most recently, she put out a new album, Into the Blue, and will perform some of these songs during her local show at the Ojai Underground Exchange on Feb. 23. Joining her will be the Rose Valley Thorns, a bluegrass and old-time band based in Ventura County.

“I have played small shows in Ventura and Ojai over the years,” she said. “I am so excited to be bringing my new album to Ojai, and to be sharing the stage with my friends in the Rose Valley Thorns.”

With her new album, Wallace said she wanted to tackle big topics.

“We give voice to women who aren’t being heard. We highlight the struggles of the wildfires in California. We tell tales of love and loss and heartbreak,” she said. “And all of this with some of the best musicians in Los Angeles bringing the songs to life in ways I hadn’t even dared to dream was possible. I am honestly bursting with pride when I share this album with people, and the response I’ve received back has been absolutely wonderful.”

Into the Blue is really “a love song to California and the southwest,” she said.

“I didn’t write it that way intentionally, but I am so happy that’s what it became,” Wallace said.

“It draws from my experiences as a woman in California, and as a traveling musician. You can hear the ocean and the mountains and the desert and the canyons echo through these songs.”

On Feb. 23, she will perform her new single from the album, “Santa Ana Winds,” which she wrote last year with Texas-based indie-folk artist Andrew Delaney as they watched the Thomas Fire wreak havoc on Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

“And I know Ojai also suffered greatly due to that awful fire,” Wallace said.

Also on her set list is “Elephants,” “which is the only song on the album I did not have a hand in writing. That song was written solely by Andrew Delaney, but when I heard it I thought it was such a powerful commentary on the #MeToo movement — though written well before #MeToo was a phrase — that I asked him if I could record it.”

“Desert Rose” tells the tale of a woman who comes across the Mexican border to seek a better life for her unborn child, while “Echo Canyon” is a modern version of the traditional cowboy ballad with hints of yodeling thrown in. Older work will be featured at the Ojai show as well.

“I still have several songs from my previous releases that I love playing at live shows — songs that tell stories of life on the road that I think others can relate to,” Wallace said. “And I always make sure to end my shows with a yodel, either one I’ve written or one by a famous yodeler I admire, like Patsy Montana, who had the first million-selling single for a female country artist with ‘I Wanna Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart,’ or Don Walser from Texas.”

Although she has only performed once in Ojai, “I am so looking forward to coming back to such a lovely place and getting to share these new songs.”

Like any show, her goal on Saturday will be “to transport people for those few minutes I am in front of them. I want them to feel like I wrote those songs just for them, because in a way, I did. And more than any other album I have released, the songs on this new album are for California audiences, first and foremost.”

Alice Wallace performs at Ojai Underground Exchange on Saturday, Feb. 23, 7:30-9:30 at Ojai Underground Exchange, 1016 W. Ojai Ave., Ojai. For tickets and more information, call 805-340-7893 or visit www.ojaiartsexchange.com. For more information about Wallace, visit www.AliceWallaceMusic.com.

Here are a few tips to remember as you start your efforts to control your dog’s barking.

Don’t shout at your dog. Shouting stimulates your dog to bark more because he thinks you’re joining in. So the first rule is to speak calmly and firmly, but don’t yell.

Most dogs don’t know what you want when you’re yelling at them to “shut up.” So train your dog to understand the word “Quiet!”

Try this: When your dog is barking, say “Quiet” in a calm, firm voice. Wait until he stops barking, even if it’s just to take a breath, then praise him and give him a treat.

Just be careful to never reward him while he’s barking.

Oscar predictions 2019

by Ivor Davis

Q:

Who is the favorite to win the best film Oscar when the 91st Academy Awards unfurls on Sunday on ABC?

A: The Favourite.

I believe The Favourite, a wacky, wicked, offbeat, lushly scored and gorgeously filmed period movie about Great Britain’s Queen Anne from director Yorgos Lanthimos could surprise everyone by running off with a handful of Oscars this year. And maybe, just maybe, this bawdy movie might bring a best actress Oscar for British thespian Olivia Colman as the bossy, quixotic Queen. And don’t rule out a best supporting actress award for either Rachel Weisz or Emma Stone.

What you should know before predicting who will win and who won’t is that over the past few years, the venerable Oscar voters’ average age has dramatically dropped with the introduction of around 1,000 younger voters. They joined the Academy, bringing what is described as much-needed diversity to the once-stodgy voting bloc.

That doesn’t mean the Oscars will end up looking (God forbid) like the Hollywood Foreign Press’ Golden Globes, however.

This year’s show will not have a host: Comic Kevin Hart withdrew after being criticized for homophobic tweets. To try and keep the show under three hours, the Academy had also planned to announce Oscar winners for categories like cinematography and costumes during commercial breaks. Thankfully, after much protest, that plan was scrapped at the eleventh hour.

Look out for some surprises, like the battle between The Favourite’s Greek-born, London-based director Lanthimos and his chief rival, Alfonso Cuarón, director of the critically acclaimed Netflix movie Roma.

Both films have garnered 10 nominations apiece.

Cuarón’s film is set in Mexico City circa the 1970s and it introduces newcomer Yalitza Aparicio playing Cleo, a character based loosely on Cuarón’s own childhood nanny. Aparicio is nominated for a best actress Oscar, but my guess is that both she and that other first-timer on the big screen, Lady Gaga (A Star is

Born), will both lose out to Glenn Close in The Wife.

Everyone but everyone adores Ms. Close. She has never won an Oscar in her long and distinguished career. My guess is that this is her year.

Her performance, by the way, was brilliant, and she was 101 percent convincing as the devoted wife of a great man who wins a Nobel Prize, which of course should have gone to his longsuffering wife.

By the way, Bradley Cooper, who served double duty as star and director of A Star is Born, is also likely to be left out in the cold.

The film’s only certain win: “Shallow” for best original song.

Last year, voters adored Gary Oldman’s transformation into Winston Churchill and handed him the best actor Oscar. Will the same apply to Christian Bale, the Welshman who was astoundingly transformed into Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice? Some people loved the movie; others did not. But don’t be surprised if the young Oscar voters opt for best-actor outsider Rami Malek, who comes storming into the race as the mercurial and self-destructive Queen rocker Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.

While I think The Favourite and Roma will share the spoils on Sunday night, don’t overlook a couple of dark horses.

One is the popular, modestly budgeted Green Book, based on a true story, with Viggo Mortensen as the bouncer-turned-chauffeur and Mahershala Ali as the classical pianist he drives to concerts throughout the Jim Crow South of the 1960s. There’s been some controversy about stretching the truth in the telling of the story, which could damage the movie’s chances. But I would go for Ali to pick up the best supporting actor Oscar.

And what about best director? Either Cuarón, who will surely get the best foreign language film Oscar, or Lanthimos.

But wait a minute — isn’t that the oft-controversial Spike Lee coming up fast on the outside for his wellreceived BlacKkKlansman? Spike has been a critical thorn in the Academy’s side, so maybe it’s about time he won something big. ♦ Watch the 91st Academy Awards on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 24, at 5 p.m. Red carpet coverage begins at 3:30 p.m.

G

lenn Close has been money on stage and screen for 40 years. She has seen her name placed in awards nominations for amazing work, only to be passed over for another actress. This year, Ms. Close is, barring a substantial upset, almost assured of Oscar glory as The Wife.

We have seen the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences reward careers of excellence with Oscars for outstanding work by actors or actresses in seemingly ordinary films. Glenn Close has been nominated for supporting actress and best actress six previous times. All brilliant performances, all deserving, all for naught. Every indication tells us that Glenn’s time is now.

In The Wife she plays Joan, wife of Joseph Castleman, a newly selected Nobel Prize winner for literature (played by an excellent Jonathan Pryce). Lost in the joy of the award’s announcement, but not for long, is Joan’s suppressed talent as a writer.

The couple’s son, David (Max Irons), yearns himself to write, and fumes over having to live up to his father’s exacting standards.

Flashbacks relate how Joan went from aspiring novelist to wife. Once the veil is lifted from her story, you appreciate Close’s knack for the slow burn. The Wife, adapted by Jane Anderson from Meg Wolitzer’s novel of the same name, sometimes plays like a potboiler. I found it difficult to believe that Close, as this woman of such potential, could bury her dreams so completely, for so long, in wedded anonymity, without erupting.

This and the almost all-too-convenient ending are the only drawbacks to an otherwise well-acted, wellrendered film. Also in the cast is Christian Slater as Nathaniel Bone, a fairly aggressive scribe who wants to write a book about Joseph’s life, but hits a brick wall at every turn.

Bone possesses a tidbit that could throw the Castlemans’ Nobel joy into turmoil.

That this role comes along for Close late in her career is a gift.

In her every aspect, her eyes, the twitch of a muscle, the resolve in the attitude of her chin, she carries Joan Castleman through the nexus of her existence as a sensitive talent, a woman and a wife, the crossroads of love and pain. Sentiment for the Academy Award is with her because, at 71, these roles are not plentiful.

She should have won for Fatal Attraction in 1987. She lost to Cher, in one of those incredulous Hollywood occurrences. Perhaps that character was too dark and frightening for voters to handle. Up for Dangerous Liaisons the next year, her wily/comic/tragic Marquise de Merteuil lost to Jodie Foster in The Accused. Like The Wife, however, 2019 is Close’s time to shine. She’s earned it. ♦

and nachos, a decent selection of beer and good happy hour prices, and you’ve satisfied expectations. Rookees in Ventura was a perfectly adequate sports bar, and I was happy to occasionally catch a Kings game there while I sipped a cocktail, even if the food was forgettable.

The new owners of Rookees, who now call the establishment Oak and Main, are trying to create something worth remembering.

When it was taken under new ownership in the fall of 2018, the digs got an upgrade: a new foyer, lounge chairs and loveseats scattered about the dining room, dark wood tables and high tops with elegant black stools. The new owners kept the TVs, but added a stage and dance floor with live entertainment a few nights a week. And the menu was all new, too, with some bar-food standards mixed in with salads, sandwiches and pizza.

I had gone once before in November for lunch, and was pleasantly surprised by a juicy, delicious burger made from a house blend of sirloin and brisket. It was good enough to bring me back for dinner later in the week, where I dined with my family on tasty thin-crust pizza, spicy fish tacos and a to-die-for fried chicken sandwich.

It closed not long after — for good, it was suspected.

Instead, it changed hands again, and re-launched in late January with the same name and décor and another new menu, this one emphasizing small plates. I’m happy to report that despite the chaos, Oak and Main is

Signature: __________________________

still a contender.

On my third trip, I was relieved to see that two of my favorites — the burger and that wonderful chicken sandwich — were still on the menu (in the “Comfort Food” section). The vast majority of the menu was unfamiliar, however, giving me and my husband much to explore.

First up: the wild shrimp cake, made from fresh shrimp that’s been chopped, seasoned and pressed into pancakes, then nestled onto a portion of creamed corn.

On top: a smoky Romesco sauce. It was a tongue-tingling mix of flavors, from the delicate shrimp to the smoky and spicy sauce to the rich and sweet corn. It’s easy to see why this is such a popular dish.

We also were impressed by the fried Brussels sprouts.

Despite a nice char, they did not taste burnt — a feat unto itself. The pungent greens were beautifully complemented by crispy bacon and a balsamic glaze, and we relished the combination of sweet and salty, savory and fresh.

Both of these items came from the “Tapas” side of the menu, and thus were not especially large. So to round out the meal, we added the fish and chips to our order. While the batter was a little thick for my liking, it wasn’t overly greasy and the fish was fresh and tender. All things considered, a bar food staple done well.

One of the highlights of our previous meal had been the cocktails — specifically, a spicy margarita and the elder old fashioned. Neither was available on this outing, so I tried an Irish whiskey sour instead. It was very attractive, with a few stripes of bitters and a Luxardo cherry decorating the foam on top. Flavorwise, I found it quite tart but overall less complex than our previous drinks. A bit of a miss for me — but the only one in an otherwise lovely meal.

Snoozeworthy sour not withstanding, Oak and Main is definitely leaving the sports bar behind. Real care has obviously been taken with the recipes, ingredients and preparation, and there are some very good items on the new menu (which I’m told will be expanding soon).

The craft cocktails are solid, too. If Oak and Main can manage to keep the doors open, I’ll gladly walk through them again. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

In December 1915, the California city of San Diego was suffering from a draught. City officials hired a professional “moisture accelerator” named Charles Hatfield, who promised to make it rain. Soon Hatfield was shooting explosions of a secret blend of chemicals into the sky from the top of a tower. The results were quick. A deluge began in early January of 1916 and persisted for weeks. Thirty inches of rain fell, causing floods that damaged the local infrastructure. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned, Aries: when you ask for what you want and need, specify exactly how much you want and need. Don’t make an open-ended request that could bring you too much of a good thing.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges are brothers born to parents who were also actors. When they were growing up, they already had aspirations to follow in their mom’s and dad’s footsteps. From an early age, they summoned a resourceful approach to attracting an audience. Now and then they would start a pretend fight in a store’s parking lot. When a big enough crowd had gathered to observe their shenanigans, they would suddenly break off from their faux struggle, grab their guitars from their truck, and begin playing music. In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll be equally ingenious as you brainstorm about ways to expand your outreach.

by rob brezsny

amidst-the-bustle as a symbol of what you should strive to foster in the coming weeks: refreshing lushness and grace interspersed throughout your busy, hustling rhythm.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

As a poet myself, I regard good poetry as highly useful. It can nudge us free of our habitual thoughts and provoke us to see the world in ways we’ve never imagined. On the other hand, it’s not useful in the same way that food and water and sleep are. Most people don’t get sick if they are deprived of poetry.

But I want to bring your attention to a poem that is serving a very practical purpose in addition to its inspirational function. Simon Armitage’s poem “In Praise of Air” is on display in an outdoor plaza at Sheffield University. The material it’s printed on is designed to literally remove a potent pollutant from the atmosphere. And what does this have to do with you? I suspect that in the coming weeks you will have an extra capacity to generate blessings that are like Armitage’s poem: useful in both practical and inspirational ways.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Based in Switzerland, Nestle is the largest food company in the world. Yet it pays just $200 per year to the state of Michigan for the right to suck up 400 million gallons of groundwater, which it bottles and sells at a profit. I nominate this vignette to be your cautionary tale in the coming weeks. How? 1.

Make damn sure you are being fairly compensated for your offerings. 2. Don’t allow huge, impersonal forces to exploit your resources. 3. Be tough and discerning, not lax and naïve, as you negotiate deals.

Michael Jackson’s 1982 song “Beat It” climbed to number three on the record-sales charts in Australia. On the other hand, “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 1984 parody of Jackson’s tune, “Eat It,” reached number one on the same charts. Let’s use this twist as a metaphor that’s a good fit for your life in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may find that a stand-in or substitute or imitation will be more successful than the original.

And that will be auspicious!

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Sixteenth-century Italian artist Daniele da Volterra wasn’t very famous for his own painting and sculpture. The work for which we remember him today is the alterations he made to Michelangelo’s giant fresco The Last Judgment, which spreads across an entire wall in the Sistine Chapel. After Michelangelo died, the Catholic Church hired da Volterra to “fix” the scandalous aspects of the people depicted in the master’s work. He painted clothes and leaves over the originals’ genitalia and derrieres. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that we make da Volterra your anti-role model for the coming weeks.

Don’t be like him. Don’t engage in cover-ups, censorship, or camouflage. Instead, specialize in the opposite: revelations, unmaskings, and expositions.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington is 605 feet high and 138 feet wide: a tall and narrow tower.

Near the top is a round restaurant that makes one complete rotation every 47 minutes. Although this part of the structure weighs 125 tons, for many years its motion was propelled by a mere 1.5 horsepower motor. I think you will have a comparable power at your disposal in the coming weeks: an ability to cause major movement with a compact output of energy.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Cartographers of Old Europe sometimes drew pictures of strange beasts in the uncharted regions of their maps. These were warnings to travelers that such areas might harbor unknown risks, like dangerous animals. One famous map of the Indian Ocean shows an image of a sea monster lurking, as if waiting to prey on sailors traveling through its territory. If I were going to create a map of the frontier you’re now headed for, Pisces, I would fill it with mythic beasts of a more benevolent variety, like magic unicorns, good fairies, and wise centaurs.

Before you choose a treatment program, see what people are saying about TRIBE

“Our daughter found Tribe, but a short while after starting she walked out the door late one night. The director called us and our hearts sank. We asked if she was kicked out. “We don’t kick out alcoholics for alcoholic behavior,” she said. Nancy stood by her words and touched our hearts.”

Jill O., Oxnard

“The staff is caring, inclusive, understanding and yet totally direct, transparent and candid. I LOVE being a part of this Tribe!”

Jamie L., Canyon Country

“After 10 years of multiple “rehab” facilities and lots and lots of money wasted, FINALLY found a place that works!”

Jon M., Westlake Village

“During the most painful and dangerous turn in our son’s journey, Tribe offered what I’ve not seen in other programs – the unbridled presence of genuine Love that guides their professional process. As a licensed therapist for over 30 years, I found this healing bridge of love built a stronger connection with his authentic self.”

Gavin F., Ventura

“We are seeing results with Tribe! So proud of our daughter.” Pam H., Canyon Country

“I came completely broken internally and externally. I’ve struggled with substance abuse issues and mental health issues all of my life and have been to several programs that never seemed to rehabilitate the part of me that needed the most care, and that was love.”

Merry M., Camarillo

“Our 30-year old son has conquered his 12 year addiction to alcohol! Tribe is a strong program with a lot of love, medicine and intense immersion in advanced techniques.” L. B., Malibu

“After attending multiple rehabs, Tribe is the place that worked for me. I’m currently 518 days sober. Nancy helped my family understand the disease process in depth, and she reconnected me with my sister and my parents.

Today I have genuine relationships with my immediate family, something I could never have imagined prior to Tribe.” Kathryn H, Carpinteria

“My son thrived during his stay at Tribe. The atmosphere, meetings, healthy living and activities provided the conditions necessary for a healthy recovery.”

J.T., Mission Viejo

“Addiction is messy and far from perfect…I owe Nancy my life. The individualized care and therapy is incomparable. EMDR, individual and family sessions, music and art therapy, psycho education by PhD holders. I used to not be able to leave my house, now I’m a fully functioning, contributing member of society.”

Debbie D., Ventura

“Out of 11 rehabs, finally my son has found a program and “home” that works.”

Melissa S., Arroyo Grande

“The 3-day workshop with clients and their families is a life changing event.”

Roberta S., Ventura

“The problem is not always about drug addiction, but about self-esteem.”

Jason J., Ventura

“Thanks so much TRIBE for helping us get our wonderful son back to sanity!”

Liz B., Malibu

“Tribe has one of the most innovative approaches to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.”

Elizabeth K., Santa Cruz

“I have seen the magic of hope alive in this program and would trust them with my life. Tribe is a gift to our community.”

Jen M., Manhattan Beach

“Nancy is able to pull the covers off the client, exposing the co-occurring mental illness that usually is the source of addiction. Tribe has created an environment of containment that is safe, caring and filled with possibilities for growth. Thank you Tribe!

Trudie T., Ojai

“Life changing.” Staci C., Thousand Oaks

“I don’t know where or what status I would be in if we did not seek help and how lucky are we to find the Tribe family.” Upu L., Gardena

“My son has been to many rehabs, and does well while in a structured environment.

The problem is when he gets out. Tribe taught my son how to adjust to life clean and sober.

They got him where he needed to be to succeed.

Thank you Tribe.”

Teri B., Placentia
