OPINION Editorial

The privilege of the public sector and pensions

H

aving a reasonable and reliable income for life after decades of employment is a dream and a wish for many workers. For hundreds of thousands of public employees, it’s guaranteed. Public employees have strong unions (typically much stronger currently than any trade in the private sector) that negotiate quality-of-life salary and benefit provisions. In addition, multiple studies have found that public employees make more than their relative private-sector counterparts. Federal employees have been found to have the highest discrepancy while local municipal workers earn modestly more, depending on which study one relies on.

The argument always goes back to the earning potential, which in private industry is exponential compared to the public sector.

That’s a conventional assessment, but the facts in real-life comparison routinely don’t match up. While public employees may ask, what’s stopping private-sector workers from joining the ranks of the public sector? Well, talk to anyone who applied, with proper experience, for a public position and didn’t even get a call back, much less make the final cut. There are plenty.

There is a perceivable exclusivity to public-sector employment, along with strong unions that fund campaigns and lobby politicians to create laws to protect their jobs and benefits and enable job security. Given that reality, it is no wonder that taxpayer watchdog groups are pushing back on what private citizens must guarantee to such employees.

On March 4, the California Supreme Court ruled against the so-called California Rule that allowed public employees, in this case, firefighters, to buy credits, or “airtime,” toward years of service (up to five years) to pad their retirement benefits. This case stems from the 2012 pension reform law championed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown in an attempt to scale back unfunded pension liabilities. The California Rule essentially mandates that “when the Legislature takes away a vested pension right from an employee, it must exchange it for something of comparable value.”

For the California Supreme Court’s deci-

Bernie takes charge In CNN’s Town Hall (February 25, 2019), Bernie Sanders took charge of the 2020 presidential campaign.

He came across as incisive, clear, compelling, and confident, covering a comprehensive range of topics.

sion, the justices concluded “unlike core pension rights, the opportunity to purchase ARS credit was not granted to public employees as deferred compensation for their work, and here we find no other basis for concluding that the opportunity to purchase ARS credit is protected by the contract clause.”

This ruling did not include the future application of the rule in general and its legality and it didn’t change pension benefits of those who already bought airtime. In this case, firefighters argued that there wasn’t another similar opportunity to replace the airtime opportunity. We can think of one: Work those years instead of buying them. If disabled from work, other benefits do come into play.

It’s hard to imagine any and all private-sector employees, as it relates to this case, being able to negotiate a lifetime of increased retirement benefits for years not worked in exchange for a fee. Public union employees may argue public pensions can’t be compared to private-sector agreements, stating it’s contract law. To which we counter: Walk a mile in a private employee’s shoes and see just how low that glass ceiling is on income and retirement benefit opportunities for the same or similar work.

Though this particular case may be done, the California Rule as it applies to pension rights overall is still being weighed in other cases to come before the California Supreme Court, and what happens in California sets the precedent nationwide. We will be waiting to see how the court rules.

In California, income inequality continues to worsen while too many rely solely on the nominal benefits of social security to get by. We see increased poverty as the homeless rate continues to escalate and more people die of substance abuse and suicide. It’s hard to imagine the privilege of public employees being able to boost their retirement benefits while the average person struggles to pay their monthly rent — and saving for retirement doesn’t even come into play. When it comes to public service, there is no amount of money that can buy compassion for the plight of the people those employees serve and rely on for their salaries. It’s an unsettling juxtaposition.

He has the stamina of a man 20 years younger.

Unlike the other candidates, he has already been through the incomprehensible ordeal of a presidential campaign and is more than ready to do it all over again — it doesn’t faze him one bit.

He knows and can articulate ALL the important issues and readily offers solutions for all of them.

He is poignantly fierce about the separation of children from their parents at the border and eviscerates Trump’s cruelty.

And he peremptorily dismisses Trump as a pathological liar and a fraud but he still has the grace to praise Trump’s negotiations with North Korea.

Finally, he has an unprecedented flair for raising ‘UGE amounts of grassroots money.

I believe he has already taken charge of this campaign and the other candidates will have to follow.

Tina Nguyen writes in Vanity Fair, February 25, 2019): “As the Democratic runner-up in 2016, Bernie Sanders has a built-in advantage that’s vaulted him to the front of the 2020 pack. He has nearly unparalleled name recognition, raised nearly $6 million within 24 hours of announcing his White House bid, and enjoys a sizable polling lead over several top rivals.”

Now Hillary Clinton staff members are targeting Bernie (“Bitter Clinton Staffers Are Still Complaining...About Bernie” Vanity Fair) for using Clinton charter flights along with Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, and several other celebrities, while campaigning for Hillary.

Racking up a fraction of the $11.9 million Hillary’s campaign spent on charter flights, Bernie traveled to 39 rallies in 13 states during the final three months and 17 rallies in 11 states during the final week of the election.

According to Vanity Fair, Sanders’s 2016 campaign spokesman, Michael Briggs, said.

“He busted his tail to fly all over the country to talk about why it made sense to elect Hillary Clinton and the thanks that [we] get is this kind of petty stupid sniping a couple years after the fact. . . .”

None of this will bother Bernie.

He is the most astonishing, resilient, and influential phenomenon in U.S. politics today.

And I am inspired by his resemblance to the great American anti-capitalist economist and philosopher, Richard Wolffe, not only in appearance, but also in his analytical lucidity.

He may well turn out to be the sensation of this campaign as he was in 2016.

I do like all the other presidential candidates, however. Why? Because they will make great running mates for Bernie.

In Brief WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN WATER NEAR VENTURA PIER

Overdose deaths up in 2018 in Ventura County

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

I

n a report released by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s office, overdose deaths were up for the third straight year in Ventura County, with accidental overdoses making up a majority of deaths.

The 2018 Overdose Report offers insights on an epidemic that is not unique to the county. Nationwide, the proliferation of opioids is being called a crisis.

In 2018, 1,563 total deaths were reported to the Medical Examiner’s Office, and of those, jurisdiction was accepted for 806 which required further investigation. Autopsies were performed on 626 of the cases and of those, 170 were found to have been caused by an overdose due to medications, alcohol and/or illicit drugs.

Out of 170 overdose deaths, 156 were considered accidental, 13 were considered suicide and one was undetermined.

From 2016 to 2017, overdose deaths jumped from 116 to 165, while from 2017 to 2018, it only increased by five to 170. Accidental deaths followed the same pattern, jumping from 105 in 2016 to 142 in 2017, a smaller increase in 2018 to 156.

Meanwhile, suicides, which increased from 11 to 23 between 2016 and 2017, dropped by 10 to 13 total in 2018.

Dr. Christopher Young, chief medical examiner, says that accidental deaths are the result of an individual taking a drug — be it illicit or prescription — and dying unintentionally. These types are deaths are more common than suicide in not only Ventura County but nationwide as well.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 130 people die daily in the United States after overdosing on opioids. These deaths can be attributed to any number of opioids including heroin, prescription pain relievers and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. The Institute lays blame for the crisis at the doorstep of the pharmaceutical industry, saying it “reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers,” which in turn led physicians to prescribe them in greater numbers.

In 1999, the number of reported deaths credited to an opioid of any kind nationwide was 8,098. In 2017, that number had grown to over 47,000.

Further statistics from the Institute show that up to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids will abuse them, with between 8 percent and 12 percent of users developing an opioid use disorder. The misuse of opioids has a direct link to a transition to heroin, with 80 percent of users having first misused opioids.

Young says that opioids, while at the center of national attention, are not the only drugs of concern.

“We see the whole gamut of types of deaths that range from people who are abusing prescription medications, people who are taking them not as recommended and combining them with alcohol. We see just pure illicit drug overdoses, which are accidents, and then we see a large overlap of that with people combining illicit drugs with alcohol and prescription drugs,” said Young.

Young says that between 2017 and 2018, the

number of deaths related to methamphetamines increased from 50 to 78, for example.

“It really is a complex problem. It can have to do with the sales of drugs in the area, availability, there are so many factors,” said Young. “I don’t have a good explanation. I just see the effects of it. A lot of those methamphetamine deaths there are those that are pure meth, but a large number are a mix of heroin and other opioids, too, and it’s hard to pinpoint one thing because there’s so much overlap.”

The report also notes that the age group most impacted by drug deaths is older individuals between the ages of 51 and 60 with a total of 48 deaths, followed by the 41-50 age group with 34 deaths and the 61-70 year olds with 23 deaths.

“I was kind of shocked myself, but that does seem consistent with the cases that we see,” said Young. “I think a lot of people think of drug abuse as a younger person problem but it really isn’t.”

The city of Ventura, with 44 overdose deaths in 2018, ranked highest in the report, followed by Oxnard, 41, and Thousand Oaks, 21.

Loretta Denering, chief of alcohol and drug programs for the Ventura County Health Care Agency’s Behavioral Health Department, says that the county’s response to the opioid epidemic began before it was declared a national crisis.

In 2012, the county began tracking opioidrelated deaths and in 2014, Ventura County Responds and the Rx Abuse & Heroin Workgroup was formed. In 2016, after meeting with the law enforcement agencies, officers began carrying Narcan, also known as Naloxone, in their patrol vehicles. The nasal spray reverses the effects of an opioid overdose which Denering calls an “instant life saver.”

“We have officers who do carry it regularly and all would probably say they have stories, cases where lives have been saved,” said Denering.

According to Ventura County Behavioral Health’s website Ventura County Responds, as of January 2019, officers have administered Narcan 11 times. Countywide, the agency says that 551 lives have been saved through the use of Overdose Rescue Kits.

Denering says that the higher number of older aged individuals dying from an overdose could be attributed to having better access to medications, but that there are a lot of factors involved.

Regardless, Denering says that use of all drugs are on the rise and that expanding treatment in Ventura County is a priority, adding that on Dec. 1, following state and federal mandates, the agency expanded its treatment system to provide more in the way of medication assisted and residential treatments as well as withdrawal management and case management benefits.

“We just keep doing what we do, we focus on the lives that are saved and we focus on the people who are actively in treatment and the people who have successfully completed treatment and are in successful recovery,” said Denering. “That’s what keeps us going because we know that there is hope and treatment does work.”

The body of a 54-year-old woman was discovered in the water near the Ventura Pier on Sunday, March 17.

Surfers making use of the popular Surfer’s Point location noticed the body floating in the waters and pulled it nearer to the pier, where Ventura Harbor officials retrieved her.

On Monday, March 18, authorities identified Lubova Holt as the victim. No known cause of death was released at the time.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DISCUSS IMMIGRATION ISSUES IN SERIES

Students of the El Camino High School at Ventura College are tackling the topic of immigration by getting up close and personal with immigrants in a series aired locally.

ECTV’s Immigrant Series gives students the opportunity to learn the stories of immigrants from different walks of life.

Phil Taggart, teacher and Ventura County Poet Laureate, said that the students’ interviews reflect a variety of histories and backgrounds.

“We got people who have come from Mexico but also people who came over during the Jewish diaspora from Germany during World War II. Of course, some were turned away; this woman was turned away and ended up in Uruguay and now lives here,” said Taggart.

Taggart said that the students chose the project themselves “because they wanted to talk about it” in light of the migrant caravan at the US-Mexico border.

“This is something they were curious about and they had their own opinions about it,” said Taggart. “And instead of us telling them what to think, they’re actually talking to people and making their own decisions about what this is and what has happened here.”

So far, the interviews that have been completed can be viewed online, with future interviews schedule prior to Ventura County Office of Education Board Meetings. For a full schedule, visit www.capsmedia.org.

COUNTY SCIENCE FAIR AND STEM EXPO KICKS OFF

Grab the vinegar and pull up a seat — a volcano is about to pop off at the Ventura County Science Fair and STEM Expo.

The Expo, now in its 65th iteration hosted by the Ventura County Office of Education, will feature 600 Ventura County students presenting over 500 projects ranging in topics from classic erupting volcanoes to new-fangled gadgetry. Also included in the activities for students will be a STEM Expo hosted by California Lutheran University during which career opportunities and exhibits will be on hand for exploration.

While the competition itself is closed to students only, a public project viewing will be held between 3:30-6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 25, at VCOE Conference and Educational Services Center, 5100 Adolfo Road, Camarillo. For more information, visit www.vcoe.org/ScienceFair.

CAMARILLO FORUM TO BE HELD ON CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE

Calling all curious Camarillo citizens: A Clean Power Alliance forum will be held in your city on Tuesday, March 26.

The forum will cover the electrical and energy programs offered by the program during a presentation, followed by a question and answer segment.

LAKE CASITAS OK TO DIVERT, LAKE PIRU 73 PERCENT FULL

The long, hot drought is over after seven years of misery across the state, and with water flowing, changes are coming to the sun-parched Lake Casitas where the extended drought caused water levels to drop to historic lows.

Lake Casitas provides water to the Ojai Valley and a portion of Ventura.

When the water flows — which up until recently hadn’t been the case — water is diverted from the Ventura River into the lake to replenish reserves. The Casitas Municipal Water District had not diverted water to the lake in some time due to the potential Lake Piru to harm habitat for the endangered steelhead trout and because the lake had received some water from storms in 2017 and 2018.

Lake Piru, on the other hand, has been declared to be 73 percent full following the storms. The lake, which is managed by United Water, had only been 15 percent full in October 2018. United says that 62.7 acre-feet of water has been harvested from Lake Piru and the Freeman Diversion facilities (which includes water purchases from northern California).

“And while this is more rain and purchased water than we have seen in a long while, we would still need 117,000 acre-feet more water to be completely out of the drought,” said Mauricio Guardado, general manager for United Water Conservation District.

OJAI’S THACHER SCHOOL TRUSTEE NAMED IN COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL

Douglas Hodge, board trustee of the Ojai-based Thacher School, has been charged as part of the “Varsity Blues” college admissions scandal that has seen a slew of wealthy celebrities and power brokers accused.

The scandal began when the FBI announced that an investigation into college admissions fraud had found that 750 individuals were accused of paying bribes to get their children into top-rated universities.

The Thacher School is a private institution considered an elite boarding school.

Hodge, a resident of Laguna Beach, had been a trustee since 2011. He is accused of spending $500,000 for his two children to be accepted at the University of Southern California and has been charged with “conspiracy to commit mail fraud.”

On Friday, March 15, the Thacher School Board of Trustees asked for Hodge’s resignation, and Hodge complied.

LA RAMS “GET-BACK” COACH CHARGED WITH SEXUAL BATTERY

A Los Angeles Rams member of the coaching staff who became known for his designation as a “get-back coach” during the 2018 season has been charged with sexual battery stemming from an incident in Moorpark.

Ted Rath was arrested and charged with three misdemeanor counts of sexual battery on Jan. 15 and subsequently posted a $5,000 bail. The incident allegedly occurred in June of 2018 and Rath pleaded not guilty.

Rath was the subject of a video describing his technique of pulling Rams’ Coach Sean McVay back and away from the field of play during games, which allowed him to focus on the play rather than worry about colliding with a referee. In January, as the Rams made the NFL playoff run, the team issued a statement that Rath was on leave without going into further detail.

Following his arrest, the Rams released a statement from the team’s headquarters in Thousand Oaks.

“We are aware of the charges filed against Ted Rath. We take these allegations very seriously. Once the charges were filed, we decided Ted would take a leave of absence from the team as this matter works its way through the justice system.”

If convicted, Rath faces a maximum of one year and six months in jail and would be required to register as a sex offender. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 16.

WAVE OF THEFT HITS THOUSAND OAKS SUPERMARKETS

As you step away from your cart to pluck an eightpack of La Croix from the shelf, beware: Criminals are watching your unattended personal items.

The Thousand Oaks Police Department has warned area shoppers of an uptick in thievery taking place in city grocery stores. Since the beginning of the year, the Department says that thieves have begun working in tandem to distract shoppers. One thief will create a distraction while the other rifles through a shopper’s personal belongings, while at other times, a thief will simply lie in wait until an unsuspecting shopper steps away before pouncing.

To curb the threat, the Department is asking residents to keep personal items close, such as wearing a purse over the shoulder or carrying it at all times, and to never leave a purse or other items unattended.

To report suspicious activity, call the Thousand Oaks Police Department at 805-654-9511 or 911.

Wildlife Corridors

New county ordinance rattles property owners, gives hope to environmentalists

by Kimberly Rivers

O

n March 12 the Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved a series of new ordinances that apply to certain properties within specific areas in the unincorporated county identified as important for supporting local wildlife. These areas are now designated as either part of the Habitat Connectivity and Wildlife Corridor (HCWC) or Critical Wildlife Passage Areas (CWPA).

The new ordinances became controversial because some landowners with impacted properties view this plan as a violation of their property rights. On the other side, environmental and conservation organizations point to the need to ensure biodiversity in the region.

VCReporter: What are wildlife corridors and why are they needed?

Rivers: Wildlife corridors are pathways between habitat areas needed for various species to survive. For example, mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains need to be able to move across populated areas of

een any butterflies lately? You wouldn’t be alone.

All over California, painted lady butterflies are migrating en masse to cooler climates as summer approaches. In Ventura County, plumes of the small insects are painting the skies with their vivid colors, stopping on flowers and trees briefly to rest.

The butterflies come via the Mojave and Colorado deserts with their final destination being Washington and Oregon states. While this is a yearly occurrence, 2019 has seen a special influx of the butterflies that scientists have accredited to the recent rains. Sadly, butterfly counts are down overall, with this year’s painted lady migration a lone exception.

Monarch butterflies, which some have confused with the painted ladies, have seen a staggering decline in population numbers. In January, the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation released a report that found Monarch butterfly numbers had dropped to their lowest level in recorded history in California. For perspective: Monarchs in Central and Southern California during the 1980s totaled around 4.5 million; in November 2018, only 28,429 were counted.

GUT INSTINCT Ventura doctor seeks FDA approval for controversial medical technique to save lives

As a “yuk factor,” few topics can compete with poop. Also known as human waste, excrement, feces or fecal matter.

Poop being used as medicine scores even higher on the socially unacceptable scale. Yet it can be effective treatment for an infection that causes nonstop diarrhea, a sometimes fatal condition. A medical procedure called gut refloralization (GR) — also sometimes called fecal microbial transplant (FMT) — involves transplanting a microscopic amount of human stool from a healthy person into the intestines of an unhealthy person. It can be thought of as something like a kidney transplant, given to a patient in need of a healthy organ, by a donor who has one to spare. Or donating blood. Like other transplant methods, it involves replacing a body part that’s not working with one that is. “This is not a new idea,” says Dr. Sabine Hazan-Steinberg, a Ventura Community Memorial Health System gastroenterologist who treats patients with gut refloralization. “It has appeared in the annals of medicine throughout history, including 4th-century Chinese medicine that included using excrement to treat diarrhea.”

There are records of fecal transplantation from the 1300s, and veterinarians have for centuries treated diarrheic horses with the technique. Bedouins were rumored to have treated dysentery with camel stool. In 1958, four human patients’ lives were saved by fecal transplant, yet it failed to gain acceptance in the U.S. due to public aversion to the concept. People have shown disdain for any scientific advance that seems too queasy or “unnatural.”

Gut refloralization is currently available only as an experimental procedure; a group of physicians including Hazan-Steinberg are part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s ongoing investigation into how it works. It is not yet FDA approved as being safe; the experimental results are being gathered to understand why it is successful for some patients. So far, the U.S. National Institutes of Health describes GR as “reasonably safe and effective.”

Poop is full of bacteria, and not all bacteria are bad. Some bacterial strains can be beneficial.

“In fact, the human body is home to a variety of microbes that help keep us healthy,” Hazan-Steinberg explained. She is treating patients with experimental GR under the current FDA investigation. Physicians can perform transplants as long as patients understand and agree that the procedure is experimental. The treatment is not widely available, and is only partially covered by some insurance companies.

“I have a 99-percent success rate because I find the right donors,” HazanSteinberg said. “The process involves taking the fecal material of a healthy donor.”

Although GR and FMT are being tested in clinical trials for illnesses including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, urinary tract infections, ulcerative colitis and some cancers, so far the FDA has only approved its experimental use in cases of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, or CDI, which causes debilitating diarrhea. Almost half a million CDI cases develop among U.S. patients each year. More than 20,000 deaths are directly attributable to CDI, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control calls “a major health threat.”

Bad bacteria in a person’s gut can be harmful, while good bacteria fight off disease. Bacteria are microbes, and microbes gathered into groups are called a microbiome. A person’s gut bacteria are called that individual’s personal microbiome. A person’s microbiome is unique to them, based on what they eat, their inherited genes, their lifestyle choices, where they live, how much pollution they inhale and more.

“The types, quantity and balance of microbes in your unique microbiome can affect your susceptibility or resistance to a variety of health issues,” Hazan-Steinberg explained.

Some experts have described the personal microbiome “as unique to an individual as a fingerprint.” This is an important part of the FDA investigation into whether fecal transplants can be declared “safe.”

An individual person’s microbiome is “an accumulation of bacterial DNA, viral DNA, and fungal DNA,” Hazan-Steinberg said. To achieve successful GR, she does detailed patient analysis, as well as meticulous, precise donor selection. There must be a specific match between patient and donor.

“Finding donors is the most critical, and complex, aspect of treatment,” in Hazan-Steinberg’s experience. “The most important aspect is to precisely match the donor.”

Every human being has a unique microbiome in their gut. This is why Hazan believes finding an appropriate donor is extremely complicated and critical to healing. Donor match is the most important factor because if it is not precise, “the same thing that cures a disease can also cause disease,” she said.

Some scientists see it differently: “Does the donor matter?” is the title of a recent study published in the journal Gastroenterology. There are some studies showing that the choice of donor does not significantly impact the

success of GR treatment for CDI. The study described how donor factors do not always drive successful treatment of CDI, but rather that patient factors — including precise diagnoses of patients’ conditions — are more likely causing cures of CDI. The scent of poop, paired with a lifetime of bandaging cuts and wounds to keep bacteria out, prevents many people from understanding that most bacteria in the gut keeps people healthy. But microbiomes containing good bacteria help to digest food, produce vitamins and keep the immune system ready to pounce on disease.

Hazan-Steinberg transplants fecal matter from healthy donors into the intestines of patients suffering from recurrent CDI. Although it is too distasteful to fit into mainstream thinking for most people, for patients who are dying from CDI, any cutting-edge solution is welcome.

Scientists are also researching fecal transplant’s potential to treat hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular conditions and some cancers. There is some initial evidence that for other diseases, the donor’s health does matter significantly.

Some new companies offer processed, frozen stool material from volunteers or paid donors that is not always matched to specific CDI patients.

Operating within the FDA’s current experimental requirements, they maintain collections of stool that work somewhat like blood banks. Paid donors receive about $40 per stool donation, and one report described how a donor could make $13,000 per year.

“Many of those companies are not operated by gastrointestinal physicians or specialists,” Hazan-Steinberg said. “They do not know how to assess the material and they do not know what they are looking at.” A onestool-fits-all approach can be dangerous. Imprecise stool collection might be contaminated by the presence of cancer, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS or other infections within a donor’s microbiome.

A recent New York Times article, “What is a fecal transplant and why would I want one?”, described the experimental treatments available from OpenBiome, one of several new companies that maintain stool banks, where stool is available for treatment of CDI. OpenBiome’s donor selection process is extremely rigorous. It includes a 200-point questionnaire, medical exams, and extensive blood and stool screens. OpenBiome screens for potential disease agents in the gut microbiome. Only 2.8 percent of potential donor applicants are accepted.

GR donors are often people with healthy lifestyles, but researchers are also investigating who might be the best donors, and one area of inquiry concerns whether people who have fought off serious disease, including perhaps homeless people who survive harsh weather, poor food and lack of healthcare, might have microbiomes that are stronger even than people who live a super-healthy lifestyle. One study questions what might constitute a “Super Donor.” The answer is still unknown and the object of scientific investigation. At this point, the donor selection process at OpenBiome and other stool bank companies is extremely stringent with regard to donor health.

“Generally, there’s some research showing that the microbiome may mediate our susceptibility to infection, both in the gut and elsewhere in the body,” OpenBiome’s Clinical Program Director, Dr. Majdi Osman, told the VCReporter. “The science is still evolving, so we take a conservative approach when screening our donors to eliminate any known risk factors for susceptibility to infection.”

The warning “Don’t try this at home” might seem self-evident, but Hazan-Steinberg has seen blatant cases of abuse. “I’ve heard about masseuses claiming they can treat disease with gut refloralization,” she said.

Inserting another person’s feces into one’s own intestinal tract, without expert medical training and experience, could not only damage the intestines but also be fatal.

Hazan-Steinberg is the founder of Ventura Clinical Trials and the Malibu Specialty Center. She said that for more than 20 years she has tested new experimental procedures and 300 clinical-trial treatments for gastrointestinal and infectious diseases, Hepatitis C, pancreatic cancer, cardiovascular and endocrine disorders. She is launching a new venture, ProGenaBiome, where one of her goals will be investigating the microbiomes of homeless people, to assess what enables them to endure the harsh consequences of the outdoors or build resilience against disease. Because no pharmaceutical company is likely to finance research into potential GR stool donors among the homeless population, ProGenaBiome will be working with homeless-support organizations to forge funding strategies.

Few medical advances have spawned as many bad headlines as GR has, including “Butting up against new science,” “Novel treatment faces headwinds” and “A process of elimination.” But dying patients whose lives it has saved are not laughing.

“New research will change the way we look at disease,” Hazan-Steinberg said.

Precious Chong and Stephen Caffrey star in Fuddy Meers.

Mulholland Dr. via Sesame Street Fuddy Meers at the Rubicon Theatre Company

by Emily Dodi

‘‘A

cross between Sesame Street and David Lynch,” is how one Rubicon Theatre Company actor described Fuddy Meers. David Lindsay-Abaire’s work features an amnesiac woman who wakes up each morning with no memory of anyone or anything in her life. It’s an apt description of this very funny, often frenetic and surprisingly touching play, now at the Rubicon.

When we meet Claire (the wonderful Precious Chong) she is being awakened by her husband, Richard, portrayed with complexity and comedic verve by Joseph Fuqua. With remarkable patience, sprinkled with a hint of exasperation, Richard goes through the paces of reminding Claire who she is, who he is, along with everything else, with the help of a book of memories that he’s created for her. Also at home is Claire’s son, Kenny, all teenage angst and impatience, played with the right mix of tenderness and fury by Seryozha LaPorte. It’s just another ordinary morning in their somewhat weird household . . . until things get really, really strange.

Without giving too much away, Claire encounters a limping man (the commanding Stephen Caffrey) who warns her that everything Richard has told her is a lie. That’s when this hurly-burly carnival ride of a play really takes off. We meet Gertie (the marvelous DeeDee Rescher), who has a speech impediment due to a stroke, and Millett (the inspired Louis Lotorto), whose sidekick is a foul-mouthed puppet. Tracey A. Leigh is very good as Heidi, the final member in this crew of damaged misfits.

Fuddy Meers is filled with laugh-out-loud moments and startling surprises, with a twist at every turn. Brimming with childlike wonder, Claire goes on a journey of discovery, but it’s not all rainbows and sunshine: There are dark clouds ahead. In Lindsay-Abaire’s deft

ox Fine Jewelry hosted a reception for its latest art exhibit, Flower Power, on Saturday, March 16. The two-woman show features the work of Karen Payton, who often employs thread and hand-dyed fabrics, and Adonna Ebrahimi, whose acrylic and mixed-media pieces feature flowers on abstract backgrounds. It’s a colorful and cheerful selection of art, perfect for welcoming in spring. Flower Power will be on display through May 12.

hands, deceptions give way to truths, love peeks through and we are left hoping that the unforgettable ride will lead the characters where they are meant to be.

Director Jenny Sullivan mines the riches of Lindsay-Abaire’s work and guides the gifted cast in bringing their best to light. Production manager, set designer and technical director Jim Prodger creates a brightly colored suburban world that cleverly hints at the past and suggests a darkness lurking beneath the surface. The sound, ingeniously co-designed by Sullivan and Kenny Hobbs, and the lighting by Mike Billings give insight into long-hidden memories. The fun costumes suggest that designer Pamela Shaw had a ball dressing the colorful cast. Set dresser and prop designer T. Theresa Scarano held nothing back in order to strike the right tone in this visually vivid production. Associate producer Beverly Ward and production stage manager Dale Alan Cooke complete the expert crew.

The Rubicon Theatre Company is known for producing classics and new works, neither of which would describe Fuddy Meers. Producing artistic director Karyl Lynn Burns explained that the Rubicon chose to do Fuddy Meers, which was first staged in 1998, because of how keenly it fits into where we are right now in our collective, confounding moment in history.

Lindsay-Abaire nimbly dances with hard truths, half-truths and downright lies and, miraculously, he holds hope and despair in the same space. In the play, Claire exclaims how she wishes someone would just tell her the truth. In this age of “fake news” and a seemingly endless stream of bad behavior, Fuddy Meers does indeed reflect our times. As we root for Claire (and ourselves), here’s hoping tomorrow is another day. ✦ Fuddy Meers runs through March 31 at Rubicon Theatre Company, 1006 E. Main Street, Ventura.

Challenges and rewards My Mom,

Judy Fairchild-Benz was diagnosed with breast cancer last February. We fought it. She had the best care and cutting edge treatment. We thought we had it beat. It snuck back. In January we discovered cancer had metastasized, making its way to her brain. Brain surgery and radiation slowed it down but were not able to contain it. At the age of 71, she left us early Sunday morning, March 17th, 2019. She joins her son Stephen Fairchild and is survived by her husband, George Benz, her siblings Rosalie Jorgenson and Ralph Wegis, her two children, Karen Courtney, and Michael Fairchild, stepchildren Catherine Yewell and Matthew Benz and a large, loving, extended family.

Towards the end of mom’s life, she was affected by a condition known as frontal lobe disinhibition. Basically, the typical restraints that filter what we say are removed.

No inhibitions. Without these filters, which were not much to start with in Mom’s case, she just said even more beautiful things, and connected even faster and deeper with those around her. As she was stripped bare, her core shone through brighter and even more beautiful.

In the hospital she would not let a participant in her story be less than loved and valued. I think everyone she met during our visits to Cedars-Sinai Hospital will remember her. I saw her make all of their lives a little better.“People need to be seen.”She saw them and shared in ways that made both her and them value themselves more.

A clinical partner at Cedars came to clean room 4032. The conversation moved from surface to core. She lost one of her 3 children, a young son. She left room 4032 enriched, feeling more loved and with a little more confidence in a special treasured part of herself that Mom saw and spoke to. I know this because I saw it and heard her say it as she said goodbye after our lingering visit.

Not only did Mom see the beauty in people. She also allowed those around her to know that this is possible.

It’s a little like believing in miracles. It becomes easier to do when you see them every day.

Mom was so many things. She started a country girl.

She got on the horse and rode it, whatever it was, to wherever she needed to go. She tackled opportunities and challenges of life with optimism and gritty elegant gusto.

She was a breadwinner when she needed to be, raising turkeys or selling homes.

She was a tennis player, a skier, a rafter, an adventurer in 12 —

many respects.

She was a caring daughter who was there for her mom and dad through their lives.

She was a loving sister who always had time to listen.

She was an artist at creating beautiful and welcoming spaces.

She was a close friend.

She was a writer and a reader, a lover of knowledge and experience.

She was a traveler. She cherished experiences camping along Himalayan, Alaskan and Chilean rivers along with comfortably floating thru canals in France. Many of her travels came out of saying“yes”to invitations and opportunities. She cherished every trip.

She was a self-made career woman. A realtor connecting people, helping them find a home leaving smiles on everyone’s face. 7 times she was voted best realtor of the year by her community.

She was a loving spouse, partnering with her husband, helping to create a family.

She raised three children that love her so deeply it’s painful to contemplate. The depth and thoroughness of how much she loves us- I’m so glad to have that, to know that.

She had a superpower. She could see the gold in everyone in a way that often helped them see it in themselves. She leaves us richer, even with the incredible hole she leaves behind.

She is an inspiration to many. She shows a way to be, saying yes as default, believing in the good, always.

Mom ended life with grace and joy. She was in her cozy home, enjoying the gorgeous view and the company of friends and family. We were so sad to see her go, but so impressed by who she was and how able she was to move through this, still seeing beauty and bringing love where it is difficult for others.

To know Judy is a blessing. My mom often said,“what you focus on expands.”If you have that blessing, keep it and share it. Expand it.

We will be celebrating Judy’s life Sunday, March 31st at the Las Posas Country Club in Camarillo California. In lieu of flowers or gifts, consider a donation to lifechronicles. org and please recognize the beauty in someone, and let them know. Start with yes to the next opportunity. Say I love you to someone you do. ~ Michael

Fusion legend Brand X to perform at the Canyon

by David Cotner

I

t’s much harder to keep a flame than you might think.

That flame — that thing you believe in, that you cherish and get really good at sheltering — is something that only the most devoted and dedicated of people understand. You protect it. You nurture it. You feed it.

And, if you’re really lucky, other people come over to ask you about that fire you’ve got that’s burning so brightly.

Brand X — the jazz fusion band formed in England in 1975 with a roster that included a then-Genesis-less Phil Collins — has, over a series of storied and complicated decades of life, carried a torch for the music they make.

Just watch the footage of their older performances on YouTube. They are timeless and yet so deeply in the moment that any given five minutes of their sound will impart to you a stunning recreation of late nights, strange thoughts and new discoveries that were the hallmarks of the ’70s and ’80s in which those songs were created. Blessed with focus, drive and true belief in their art, its members honed their musicianship ever since.

The early days of Brand X were not without their problems. Perplexed music industry reactions to the experimental side of the kind of music it was making. Increased pressure for hits and sales and conformity. Constant lineup changes that are the bane of any band’s thirst for forward momentum. A lack of consistent funding needed to further the members’ collective fortunes. And yet, were it not for that unquenchable passion for the music that Brand X pioneered, none would experience the fruits of decades-long labors in the fields of difficult music.

The band — now made up of founding guitarist John Goodsall, original bassist Percy Jones and drummer Kenny Grohowski as well as new members Chris Clark (keyboards) and Scott Weinberger (percussion) — sprang forth from a golden era in jazz fusion, the leading lights of which — Mahavishnu Orchestra, Soft Machine, Weather Report — have attained an almost cult fascination in retrospect. With their latest resurrection, Brand X (named by an Island Records employee as a shorthand

scheduling notation that somehow stuck) now embarks on new voyages with a greater commitment to their presence as musicians of the highest caliber. While they haven’t had an album of new material released since 1997’s Manifest Destiny, the renewed attention to their power as a touring band resulted in both 2017’s But Wait... There’s More! and 2018’s Locked & Loaded, live records that serve as further proof that such evidence is necessary if only to prove that they ever could have existed in the first place.

Brand X reformed in 2016, entering a world that after almost 20 years (if the top-40 charts are any indication) places little to no value on the technical proficiency and musical prowess of jazz fusion bands as once it did. Time passes.

Tastes change. Audiences move on. And so by virtue of its perpetual virtuosity, Brand X now finds itself presented as the Brand X that was always offered up in old television commercials, an unwanted alternative to the preferred product.

Unwanted, that is, except by those discerning souls who prefer their music to be more challenging than most.

What you will hear at the Canyon tonight is some of the most challenging music performed live anywhere in the world today. “Challenging” is a word that people generally use when they want to describe art that gives them some level of difficulty in describing. Brand X challenges you, even dares you, to listen with open ears and open minds (it sometimes helps to close your eyes while you listen).

This is not because Brand X wishes to create an atmosphere of opposition. Its musicians challenge the audience because they know that their listeners demand more from Brand X. That they can handle a type of music that’s more evolved than most. That they’re actually up to that selfsame challenge that makes the music of Brand X some of the most rewarding art.

Because the listener demands more of himor herself by actually listening to it.

F Brand X appears on Thursday, March 21, at The Canyon, 28912 Roadside Drive, Agoura Hills.

Axiom and Diane and the Deductibles open the show at 7 p.m. For tickets and more information, call 888-645-5006 or visit wheremusicmeetsthesoul. com/canyon-agoura-hills.

Marvel -ous

by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Captain Marvel Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck Starring: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Annette Benning, Jude Law Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief suggestive language 2 hrs. 3 min.

W

ith another astonishing entry, the masters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe can congratulate themselves once more for an extraordinary film garnering critical praise and mindboggling worldwide profits. It’s Captain Marvel — hear her roar, from the least heralded of the Marvel roster to a supernova of big screen, female power.

A little background: in 1940, Captain Mar-vell started at Fawcett Comics as a man; it was discontinued in 1953 because of poor sales and having too strong a resemblance to Superman. In 1967, Marvel acquired the rights to the character. By 1982, the hero had been reimagined as a woman. That’s who we meet in this film.

Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the movie begins on Hala, home to the Kree, a race of super warriors. The title character is, at the outset, named Vers (Brie Larson), a Kree blessed with hands that shoot deathly photon blasts. Her hard-driving mentor, YonRogg (Jude Law), and the rest of the Kree Starforce, are charged with keeping their sworn enemies, the shapeshifting Skrull, from attaining a powerful energy source and invading Hala.

Oscar-winner Larson worked out furiously to get in shape for this role, and it paid off. In nearly every scene, she enriches each facet of this superhero, and plays her to all her potential, with easy wit, athleticism and robustness. Adding that she’s beautiful does not diminish the power of her work. That’s just another dimension of it.

Vers is plagued by flashbacks she cannot account for. When she’s captured by the Skrull and mined for her thoughts by their leader, Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), it becomes clear that she has a past as someone else. She’s not who she thought she was — and neither are the Kree or the Skrull.

Freeing herself, Vers tumbles to Earth, in 1995, right through the roof of a Blockbuster Video store. The pop culture of the time is well represented: Radio Shack, music from En Vogue to Des’ree. There are also two investigating agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg). Anti-aging CGI, an incredible development in movie effects, was used to make Jackson and Gregg look 25 years younger.

It’s a truly remarkable breakthrough.

Annette Benning portrays an image who comes to Vers frequently, an important person from her past.

For a film that fully explains the history and purpose of its main character, Captain Marvel is fluid, graceful and possesses the flavor of Stan Lee’s comic book humor that’s such a part of MCU. To reveal too much would be to spoil the fun. Revel in the action, enjoy the chemistry between Larson and Jackson, Lashana Lynch (as former-U.S. Air Force ace Maria Rambeau), and Goose the Cat. It’s turning into the most talked about tabby since Morris, from those old 9Lives cat food commercials.

Outside the theater, this movie’s success shades the Internet trolls who tried to sabotage its initial word of mouth. Inside, Captain Marvel reveals something more: that art no longer imitates life. Just the opposite. When a film is celebrated as a bellwether for the positive representation of strong women, as Black Panther was hailed for its depiction of an estimable African nation and its citizenry, we realize that life now imitates art, and has for more decades than we’d like to admit. As with Lee’s comics, 50-plus years ago, its subtext has a lot to say about contemporary issues, such as immigration.

To that end, Captain Marvel validates strength as a virtue without gender. It is an exhilarating exercise of the senses. ♦

wildlife Continued from Page 7 Ventura County to reach the open spaces of the Los Padres National Forest. Wildlife biologists identified these pathways across the county and recommended putting in place protections to ensure they remain viable pathways for wildlife into the future.

“Protecting and fostering wildlife corridors are a central tenant of our long-term plan to assure abundant, diverse and healthy wildlife populations persist across our wider Ventura County region,” said Sean Anderson Ph.D., professor and Chair of the Environmental Science and Resource Management Department at California State University, Channel Islands. “These key animal rivers or animal lifelines improve genetic diversity and ecological functioning [across] a range of ecological communities from the coast to our inland mountain peaks.”

These corridor areas are threatened by development and increased human activity. Three critical areas are included in the CWPA — Oak View, Simi Hills and the Tierra Rejada Valley.

nances take effect to ensure their outdoor lighting complies with the rules. Outdoor lights must be shielded or pointed down, on motion sensors and timers, and turned off by 10 p.m. or when people are no longer using a space.

Security and safety lighting are allowed, and all parties and events can be lit.

Commercial agriculture, nursery and grazing activities are exempt. Temporary lighting for construction and oil and gas operations are also exempt.

Landowners who plan to build new structures or apply for new land uses on their property will have to consider these rules when developing their plans.

Will the county now be building freeway crossings for wildlife?

What type of development is prohibited in the wildlife corridors?

No. While the wildlife corridor ordinances do create restrictions for new development in the riparian habitat along both the Santa Clara and Ventura Rivers, no new laws were added relating to homeless people living in the river bottoms.

No. The new ordinances don’t create any new programs, and the county is unable to build crossing or underpasses at freeways because the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) manages the state freeways. Plans are currently in the works for a crossing over the 101. And environmental organizations point to this plan as a way to help bring more funds to the area to create more freeway crossings for wildlife.

Do the corridors impact the homeless encampments in the river beds?

The planning commission recommendations included excluding the Tierra Rejada Valley from the Critical Wildlife Passage Area, and approving a smaller, 100-foot waterway buffer.

At the March 12 hearing Huber stated several reasons for not supporting the corridors.

He said he believed the overlays would “have a negative impact on property values” and suggested the county explore “other ways to increase genetic diversity” among animal populations before restricting property rights. He also pointed to the fact that “there is no review process or sunset date” for the wildlife corridor overlays, so that there would be a mechanism for the county to review the ordinances and ensure they were effective.

Technically nothing is prohibited, but now What groups support and opposed some buildings based on location, lighting this ordinance? and fencing may require a lengthier review Ventura County Coalition of Labor, Agriprocess. During the March 12 hearing, Superculture and Business (COLAB) and Protect the visor Linda Parks, District 2, pointed out the Why did two supervisors vote against Harvest, an Indiana-based organization, stated ordinances create a process that “incentivizes” the wildlife corridors? opposition to the wildlife corridors stating the complying with the rules of the new overlay plan constituted a “taking” of land, and repreSupervisors Kelly Long and Bob Huber zones.

The first time that I really fell in love, I asked the fella who would later become my fiancé, “What’s your favorite dish? I’d like to cook you a special dinner.”

“Beef Wellington,” he responded.

I’d never had Beef Wellington and I certainly had no idea how to prepare it! After looking up the somewhat overwhelming recipe in The Joy of Cooking, I politely demurred and have never made it to this day.

For those who aren’t familiar with this very oldfashioned entrée that originated in England, filet mignon is coated with a paste made of pâté and duxelles (finely chopped mushrooms, shallots, garlic and thyme) and then wrapped in a puff pastry and baked. It’s a delicious, but very labor-intensive dish. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Beef Wellington — named in honor of the Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon in the battle of Waterloo — on The Cave’s “small plates” menu. Waterloo or bust! I thought to myself.

Chef Martinez’s version — accompanied by roasted potatoes with micro greens and delicious gravy that I sopped up with his equally delish homemade sourdough bread — is supreme. Unfortunately, my friend ordered it “well done” and it was served rare — so we sent it back and had to wait more than half an hour for the cooks to fix it. We’d already endured a long wait for our other

The pork belly wedge salad (another throwback to the past) with candied pork belly to start was easy to share, two crisp wedges of iceberg lettuce drizzled with bleu cheese dressing and crispy pork belly that was more like a thick slice of bacon (so good, I could have eaten more!).

I like most salads lightly dressed, but this one could have handled more dressing as well as more tang.

The good news, perhaps, is that my friend and I opted to sit at the counter/bar that faces the kitchen so while we waited we were entertained by the chefs at work. The pizzas coming out of the oven looked terrific, the cooking team of five was very busily engaged and it was fun to see and hear them work (“Hot dish, hot pie”; “Is that wedge salad going out?”) as they carefully prepared dishes and set them out for the servers.

Sometime later, we asked if we could move from the counter and share a dessert in “the cave” — and moved into the more atmospheric room that we’d hopped in and out of for small wine pours/tastings from the dispensers, using a card loaded up with a few bucks.

The fruit tart was a surprise of sorts, the crust a bit like a Scottish shortbread with banana cream and strawberries topped by a hard shell chocolate dome — very tasty and required more than a spoon to deconstruct.

I could go into the wines, but suffice to say that we were familiar with many — Margerum, The Ojai Vineyard, Chalk Hill — and I think it’s smarter to just buy a bottle or by the glass. The wine dispensers are fun, if you don’t mind hopping up and down to buy one-ounce pours, as we did (to get more bang for our buck).

There are burgers, house-made potato chips, a delicious-looking prosciutto and fig crostini with Cambozola cheese spread, fig jam, crispy prosciutto and balsamic pearls, seared ahi bites and more.

In the end, I’d have to say, don’t be in a hurry, enjoy the wines and savor the delicious food. While the timing was off during our visit, we did enjoy sitting at the “chef’s table” counter and catching all the action in the kitchen that provided a very different atmosphere and peek behind the scenes then the two “cave rooms,” which includes a back room with glass bubbles floating from the ceiling as well as its own wine dispenser. ♦

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

During the coming weeks, everything that needs to happen will indeed happen only if you surprise yourself on a regular basis. So I hope you will place yourself in unpredictable situations where you won’t be able to rely on well-rehearsed responses. I trust that you will regard innocence and curiosity and spontaneity as your superpowers. Your willingness to change your mind won’t be a mark of weakness but rather a sign of strength.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

In the animated kids’ film Over the Hedge, ten talking animals come upon a massive, towering hedge they’ve never seen. The friendly group consists of a skunk, red squirrel, box turtle, two opossums, and five porcupines. The hedge perplexes and mystifies them. It makes them nervous. There’s nothing comparable to it in their previous experience. One of the porcupines says she would be less afraid of it if she just knew what it was called, whereupon the red squirrel suggests that from now on they refer to it as “Steve.” After that, they all feel better. I recommend that you borrow their strategy in the coming weeks. If a Big Unknown arrives in your vicinity, dub it “Steve” or “Betty.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

I urge you to locate a metaphorical or very literal door that will give you access to a place that affords you more freedom and healing and support. Maybe you already know about the existence of this door — or maybe it’s not yet on your radar. Here’s advice from Clarissa Pinkola Éstes that might help. “If you have a deep scar, that is a door,” she writes. “If you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”

CANCER

by rob brezsny (June 21-July 22):

Musician Carole Kaye is the most famous bass guitarist you’ve never heard of. Over the course of five decades, she has plied her soulful talents on more than 10,000 recordings, including gems by Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, Simon and Garfunkel, and the Beach Boys. Twenty-seventime Grammy winner Quincy Jones has testified that Kaye has written “some of the most beautiful themes I’ve ever heard in my life” and that she “could do anything and leave men in the dust.” I trust this horoscope will expand the number of people who appreciate her. I also hope you’ll be inspired to become more active in spreading the word about the gifts that you have to offer the world. It’s high time to make sure that people know more of the beautiful truth about you.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“When you want happiness, what are you wanting?” asks aphorist Olivia Dresher. The repeat of an event that made you feel good in the past? A sweet adventure you’ve thought about but never actually experienced? Here’s a third possibility. Maybe happiness is a state you could feel no matter what your circumstances are; maybe you could learn how to relax into life exactly as it is, and feel glad about your destiny wherever it takes you. In my opinion, Leo, that third approach to happiness will be especially natural for you to foster in the coming weeks.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

There are old traditions in many cultures that pay special attention to the first brick or stone that is laid in the earth to initiate the construction of a future building. It’s called a cornerstone or foundation stone. All further work to create the new structure refers back to this original building block, and depends on it. I’m pleased to inform you that now is a favorable phase to put your own metaphorical

cornerstone in place, Virgo. You’re ready to begin erecting a structure or system that will serve you for years to come. Be sure you select the right place for it, as well as the best building materials.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Born under the sign of Libra, Ivan Kharchenko (1918–1989) was a military officer and engineer for the Soviet army. His specialty was disarming explosive devices before they detonated. Over the course of his career, he defused an estimated 50,000 bombs and mines. Let’s make him your patron saint for the coming weeks. Why? Because I suspect you will be able to summon a metaphorical version of his power: an extraordinary capacity to keep volatile situations from blowing up. You’ll be a virtuoso at waging peace and preventing strife.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

There was a time, less than a century ago, when pink was considered a masculine color and blue a feminine hue. In previous eras, many European men sported long hair, wore high heels, and favored clothes with floral patterns. Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of America’s most prominent twentieth-century presidents, sometimes wore skirts and featherbedecked hats as a child. With these facts as your keystone, and in accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you to experiment with your own gender expressions in the coming weeks. It’s prime time to have fun with the way you interpret what it means to be a man or woman — or any other gender you might consider yourself to be.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

According to estimates by population experts, about 109 billion humans have been born on planet Earth over the millennia. And yet I’m quite sure that not a single one of those other individuals has been anything like you. You are absolutely unique, an

unmatched treasure, a one-of-a-kind creation with your own special blend of qualities. And in my prophetic view, you’re ready to fully acknowledge and celebrate these facts on a higher octave than ever before. It’s high time for you to own your deepest authenticity; to work with extra devotion to express your soul’s code; to unabashedly claim your idiosyncratic genius.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

We don’t know as much about European history between the sixth and ninth centuries as we do about other eras. Compared to the times that preceded and followed it, cultural and literary energies were low. Fewer records were kept. Governments were weaker and commerce was less vigorous. But historians don’t like to use the term “Dark Ages” to name that period because it brought many important developments and activities, such as improvements in farming techniques. So in some ways, “Lost Ages” might be a more apropos descriptor.

Now let’s turn our attention to a metaphorically comparable phase of your own past, Capricorn: an era that’s a bit fuzzy in your memory; a phase about which your understanding is incomplete. I suspect that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to revisit that part of your life and see what new evidence and insights you can mine.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Why do some American libraries ban certain books, ensuring they’re unavailable to local readers? The reasons may be because they feature profanity or include references to sex, drug use, the occult, atheism, and unusual political viewpoints. Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis is one of the most frequently censored books. Others are Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Beloved, by Toni Morrison, and The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. In my astrological opinion, these are exactly the kinds of books you should especially seek out in the com-

ing weeks. In fact, I suggest you commune with a variety of art and ideas and influences that are controversial, provocative, and intriguing.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

At the age of 97, Piscean cartoonist Al Jaffee is still creating new material for the satirical Mad magazine, where he has worked since 1964. There was one 63-year stretch when his comic stylings appeared in all but one of Mad’s monthly issues. I nominate him to be your role model during the next four weeks. It’s a favorable time for you to access and express a high degree of tenacity, stamina, and consistency.

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.

MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on April 4, 2016 as Instrument No. 20160404-00045542-0, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Ventura County, California, executed by MARK A SOLOMON A SINGLE MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for MB FINANCIAL BANK, N.A. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 900 JURYMAST DRIVE, OXNARD, CA 93030 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $591,942.73 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. 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, CA07000344-17-1.

ROBBINS in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that RANDY WAYNE ROBBINS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 04/03/19 at 9:00AM in Dept. J6 located at 4353 E.

Before you choose a treatment program, see why TRIBE was voted Best Rehab in Ventura County Full and partial day programs for mental health and substance use disorders

“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
