OPINION Editorial

Water insecurity West County’s water crisis has provoked much controversy over the last five years and it’s not getting any better, at least not for the moment. As Lake Casitas’ level continues its downward trend, now at 32.4 percent, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors agreed on Aug. 7 to urge the Casitas Municipal Water District to declare a stage 4 drought emergency. Supervisor Steve Bennett, District 1, which includes Ojai and Ventura, the same as the Casitas district, said that such a declaration wouldn’t necessarily include mandated conservation efforts but that it would bring attention to the issue.

The conservation methods that come with a stage 4 drought declaration are unclear, but dwindling water supplies for any municipality have exponential repercussions, from residents’ habits to agriculture and the real estate industry.

But a drought emergency is not new in the area. In July 2016, the district declared a stage 3 drought emergency when the lake was at 40 percent capacity, which mandated several different water conservation measures with fines attached for not following them. They included no outdoor irrigation from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; all outdoor irrigation recommended to be limited to Saturday only; sweep, don’t wash sidewalks, driveways and parking areas except for safety or sanitary purposes; no runoff, keep irrigation on the landscape, etc.

Answer to a Prayer

Y

our article (“Food obsessed,” feature, July 27) was an answer to a prayer. I joined the Oxnard FA group in July of last year. I have lost 55 pounds and my life has changed sooo extensively that it’s hard to explain. Our little Saturday morning Oxnard group started in April of last year.

It’s a small group of six to 12 people, but it definitely passed the message on to me. I found out about FA after praying for help with my food addiction. The next day I met a woman who had prayed the day before for someone to help. She became my sponsor.

I see the devastating consequences of the disease of food addiction every day and wonder what can be done to help others. In FA we can’t promote ourselves, however, we can inform.

Just like in AA we follow the traditions that say that we must remain personally anonymous at the level of press, radio and films.

I’ve been praying that somehow people that need FA find out about us.

I was shocked and delighted today, while going into the Green Thumb, to see this article. Right away I took pictures and sent them to all the people in my group.

I wanted to thank you and let you know that we meet in Oxnard, Saturday mornings at 9

It’s not clear how the stage 3 drought declaration has impacted Lake Casitas water levels over the last couple of years, but surely the Thomas Fire negated some of those conservation efforts. The district itself is also in flux, with Casitas Municipal Water District General Manager Steve Wickstrum announcing his retirement in early August and Public Relations Manager Ron Merckling vacating this position.

While some would argue that West County consumers have access to groundwater supplies, that there is potential water supply in the hills and mountains, that the city of Ventura is working toward connecting to the state water supply, and that rainfall is unpredictable and could replenish Lake Casitas soon to some degree, it is simply unreasonable to deny that water consumption habits have to change.

At stage 4, Ventura and Ojai stakeholders will not be alone, as several cities in California have had to endure it already.

The question is, what will be West County residents and business owners decide to do to stretch the thin supply until the rains come or alternative sources become available? It’s time to get over the controversy and the debate and get focused on how to maintain and manage what is left until something changes. If the level has dropped roughly 8 percent in two years, it’s time to think about what to plan for if nothing changes in the next five years.

Logical solution to CO2 problem It is pretty well agreed, by most global warming experts, that CO2 is a BIGGIE contributor to the problem, among DOZENS of other contributing causes. I have a logical solution to the problem, and it involves TREES and MILLIONS of Americans.

During WWII, millions of Americans (young and old) were involved in rounding up scrap metal and rubber for the war effort. It was extremely successful and helped our military industries produce the weapons and vehicles needed by our armed forces.

With the foregoing in mind, why not have a MASSIVE, NATIONWIDE, WWII-STYLE effort, involving MILLIONS of citizens (young and old) to plant MILLIONS OF TREES?

Trees thrive on CO2 and guess what, folks?

They produce OXYGEN! So by planting MILLIONS of trees, with MILLIONS of volunteers nationwide, a massive amount of CO2 would be replaced with OXYGEN! Can it be done? YES! Will it be done? NOT LIKELY! Why? We MIGHT have to rely on politicians in the District of Crime (D.C.) to get it started, with appropriate funding and/or legislation. The alternative is go get THOUSANDS of organizations involved in the nationwide tree planting effort: Elks, Rotary Club, Masons, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, schools (elementary thru high school) and thousands of others. Who could possibly get that many groups together to do anything other than squabble with each other?

So there it is, folks. What do you think about this LOGICAL idea for solving the CO2 aspect of global warming? Our very survival on this planet is at stake to keep us from turning into another Venus!

Contamination Re: Aug. 18 edition of VCReporter How come you geniuses let your article on SSFL end in mid-sentence (P15)? For once, you have something worth reading about and this is how you handle it. Have you ever heard of the concepts of editorial review and oversight?

Apparently not!

Andy Lendacky Oxnard Editor’s note: Due to a production modification before press and after editorial review, the story layout changed. The missing word on page 9: “contamination.” It should have read: “And it is precisely the promise to do that which is being broken by the state toxics agency and the polluters responsible for the contamination.”

Changing faces in Oxnard, Ventura

In Brief WOMEN’S EQUALITY DAY CELEBRATED IN VENTURA

City council candidates confirmed for November’s first-ever district elections

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com Out with the old, in with the new, say most county voters who will gaze in awe at the sample ballots arriving in their mailboxes ahead of the November elections.

The city councils of both Ventura and Oxnard will look very different, as both cities have adopted district-based elections after threat of a lawsuit forced the cities’ transitions.

In September of 2017, CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance for a Sustainable Economy) alleged that the city of Ventura’s at-large voting system underrepresented minorities, and in particular the city’s Westside, where no current council members reside. Rather than take the battle to court, the city decided to adopt district-based elections and in November began taking suggested district maps.

Oxnard followed suit, the City Council voting in February of this year to transition to the district-based election system, and to add two more seats, bringing the total number of councilmembers up to seven, including the mayor, which will remain an at-large, citywide vote.

Both councils have several familiar faces who have decided not to seek re-election, or aren’t able to due to ditching the at-large vote.

On Nov. 6, Ventura and Oxnard voters will be able to vote for a candidate who lives within their own district for the first time. Ventura has seven districts, but this year, only districts 1, 4, 5 and 6 will vote; the rest will vote in 2020.

Oxnard’s vote will have a more significant effect on the makeup of the council as two more seats will be added, to bring the total number of districts to seven. Districts 1, 2, 5, 6 and the mayor will be up for grabs, the rest in 2020.

CITY OF VENTURA CANDIDATES

Both Mike Tracy and Neal Andrews, who would have been up for re-election this year, will instead lose their seats because they reside in Districts 2 and 3, respectively.

Christy Weir in District 2 and Matt LaVere in District 3 are not up for re-election and so will simply retain those seats.

Cheryll Heitmann lives in District 7.

Councilmember Jim Monahan announced that he would not seek re-election, having served since 1977.

Note: a candidate statement costs $775, and thus not all candidates have statements. Candidate occupations were taken from forms submitted to the city clerk.

District 1 covers the Ventura Avenue area as well as portions of downtown Ventura on the west side of the city.

The challenge for district-based representation made note of this area, as many residents have claimed that the City Council lacks representation of the mostly Latino community.

Qualified for the ballot: Irene Henry, business owner; Kevin Clerici, executive director of the downtown business improvement district; Sofia Rubalcava, translator; and Marcos Cuevas, student.

To read District 1 candidate statements, visit www. cityofventura.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/13444/District-1-Candidate-Statements.

District 4 includes the community known as Juanamaria.

CITY OF OXNARD CANDIDATES

Five seats will be open for the Oxnard City Council race, including the mayor’s seat, which remains a citywide vote.

The rest will be up to the residents of each particular district. Districts 3 and 4 will vote in 2020, but residents within these districts will vote for mayor with the rest of the city.

Running for mayor are incumbent Mayor Tim Flynn, businessman/accountant Aaron Starr and Mario Quintana.

Candidate titles are taken from statements submitted to the city, if available.

District 1 encompasses a swath of the city from Victoria Estates to Hollywood by the Sea. Qualified for the ballot: Incumbent Bert Perello; Ambrosio Casanova Jr.; Kenneth Oplinger, regional non-profit executive; and Kari Cryder, Oxnard small-business woman.

District 2 includes the Riverpark community, Auto Center area and south toward the Fremont and Carriage Square neighborhoods.

Qualified for the ballot: Incumbent Carmen Ramirez; Tai Hartley, businesswoman; and Lance Ralston, teacher/ pastor.

District 5 stretches from Lemonwood Eastmont down to the Oxnard Beach commercial area.

Qualified for the ballot: Elizabeth White, nonprofit CEO; Larry Stein, insurance premium auditor; and Gabriela Basua, housing manager.

District 6 begins in the Cal-Gisler neighborhood and ends at Ormond Beach.

Qualified for the ballot: Luis Garcia-Moreira; Francine Castanon, Oxnard commissioner/businesswoman; Carolina Gallardo-Magana, chief management officer; and Vianey Lopez, trustee of the Hueneme Elementary School District.

The city of Oxnard does not post candidate statement forms online, but they are available by request. To see the Oxnard district map, visit www.oxnard.org/districts.

The 2018 election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

✦

On Sunday, Aug. 26, women nationwide will commemorate the anniversary of the 19th Amendment, signed into law in 1920, which gave women the right to vote. In Ventura, Dawn Dyer, president of the Dyer Sheehan Group, will host a celebration dubbed Toast to Tenacity for women (and men) inspired by the movement.

It’s no coincidence that the celebration will take place on National Women’s Equality Day, says Dyer.

“When the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787, women were not given equal standing with men,” said Dyer. “One of the most fundamental rights in the U.S. was only granted to women in a hardfought campaign that took over 70 years.”

Dyer will represent California as one of seven delegates to attend the Vision 2020 National Women’s Equality Initiative in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2020, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. At the Toast to Tenacity, Dyer hopes to engage with Ventura County residents not only to shine a light on the centennial, but also to brainstorm ideas to execute in the county ahead of the anniversary.

“We can’t have a healthy democratic form of government without an engaged and educated populace,” said Dyer, noting the relatively short period of time that women have been able to vote in the U.S. “It’s so important that we not take these rights for granted, particularly as women.”

The Toast to Tenacity will take place on Sunday, Aug. 26, 1-3 p.m. in Ventura. RSVP by contacting Dawn Dyer at dawn@dyersheehan.com.

CSU, CHANNEL ISLANDS, RECEIVES TEACHING TOLERANCE AWARD

California State University, Channel Islands, Education Lecturer Danna Lomax has become one of just five educators nationwide to earn a 2018 Teaching Tolerance Award for Excellence in Teaching.

The award, given by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance project, is awarded to educators who weave “peace and social justice issues” into the curriculum, according to a press release.

“Teaching Tolerance encourages educators to create a more welcoming school environment and inspire a generation of young people to actively and respectfully participate in our increasingly diverse society,” said Maureen Costello, director of Teaching Tolerance. “The Teaching Tolerance Award for Excellence in Teaching celebrates these five educators for their exemplary practice of this guiding principle.”

Lomax teaches English and world geography to students of Anacapa High School, as well as the Bilingual Authorization program at CSUCI’s School of Education. Lomax also acts as Anacapa’s dual language liaison and works with student teachers in her classroom.

Lomax says that one of her goals is to graduate “peace literate” students.

“We want kids to experience and create peace cultures where kids work together, dance together, play together and laugh together, so they know what peace feels like and want to work to protect it,” said Lomax.

MEXICO-LINKED HEROIN NETWORK BUSTED IN VENTURA COUNTY

The Ventura County Sheriff Department announced on Friday, Aug. 10, that a Mexico-based heroin network has been dismantled in Ventura County, particularly in West County near the city of Ojai.

The Ventura County Narcotics Task Force concluded the four-monthlong investigation, which began in May of this year. In May, Ojai patrol officers took note of one Harold Mory allegedly dealing heroin in the city.

The Ojai department notified narcotics detectives, who witnessed Mory meet with Eliseo Gonzalez, an alleged dealer in Los Angeles, where he was arrested for purchasing heroin with intent to distribute in Ventura County.

Further investigation found that Gonzalez was working with numerous Ventura County-based dealers working out of Santa Paula.

Detectives discovered that Gonzalez, along with alleged partner Jose Rodriguez, were allegedly being supplied by members of a family-based organization based part time in Mexico and the United States.

On Aug. 10, Jose Gonzalez-Chaidez, allegedly head of the family, was arrested in Los Angeles for heroin sales, and two kilograms of heroin was allegedly found at his residence, as well as suspected money from sales.

The Thousand Oaks Police Department Special Enforcement Unit and Directed Enforcement Unit assisted in the operation.

WORLD’S LARGEST CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT THIS WEEKEND Do not be alarmed by the high number of bags flying through the air this weekend in downtown Ventura as Spencer Makenzie’s 10th annual The Throw Down and End of Summer Block Party kicks off, pitting 224 teams against each other in mortal cornhole combat.

What started out as a way for John Karayan, owner of Spencer Makenzie’s Fish Company, to celebrate the community in 2008 with live music and a friendly game of cornhole has since grown in size to out-cornhole even the current Guinness World Record holder for “World’s Largest Cornhole Tournament, which currently sits at 160 teams.

“We had 192 teams the past two years,” said Karayan, adding that the tournament sold out two months ahead of time with a waiting list 36 teams deep.

The Throw Down attracts top-tier cornhole champions, including three-time winners Ryan Windsor and Isidro Herrera, both of whom have had the distinct pleasure of having been dubbed King of Cornhole. Local representation will not be lacking, however. Jesse Segovia and Garrett Beckman of the Santa Paula Cornhole Baggers took home $4,500 in prize money at the 2017 tournament and will compete again this year.

“It sounds pretty crazy for people not familiar with cornhole, but these players are starting to get agents and sponsorships,” said David Garcia, marketing director.

Even so, Karayan says that the tournament

“It’s a friendly competitive,” said Karayan.

“Now it’s become to where it’s very prestigious.

It’s not just that ‘I won the money, I won the biggest tournament in the world.’ ” Spencer Makenzie’s 10th Annual The Throw Down will take place Friday, Aug. 24, through Sunday, Aug. 26, at 806 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura. Hours: 5:30-10:30 p.m. Friday; 9 a.m.-10 p.m.

Saturday; 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday. Live music and entertainment are scheduled throughout the

weekend. For more information, visit www.thethrowdowncornholetournament.com.

OJAI VALLEY FAMILY SHELTER GOLF TOURNEY RETURNS WITH $25,000 GRAND PRIZE

The Ojai Valley Family Shelter will return in September, and with it come the hole-in-one prizes of a golfer’s dream, including airline tickets, golf equipment and, oh yes, $25,000 in cash.

Along with the prizes, however, comes the real need for the tournament’s host, for whom the

event is the biggest fundraiser of the year.

The tournament will pit up to 148 golfers against each other in individual, team and mixed team competitions at the Soule Park Golf Course in Ojai, raising over $20,000 for the shelter, which offers food and services to those in need in the Ojai Valley.

The shelter operates during the winter months, from November to March, and is a volunteer-based collaboration between seven area churches, says Rod Owen, fundraising chair.

Owen originally pitched the idea of a golf tournament after attending a similar event in the desert around 2006.

Owen says that he is very thankful for the Ojai community support the event receives.

“The outpouring from citizens and vendors to support our efforts for this golf tournament has just been tremendous, and we really appreciate everybody that helps,” said Owen.

The tournament will also feature prizes for holes in one at each hole on the course. For the 16th hole, the prize is $25,000, for which Owen says there exists a special insurance that will cover the cost should the hole in one occur.

“This is how we’re able to raise money in a way that everyone has fun,” said Owen. “It’s a great way to get everyone out together and see exactly who we are and what we do.”

The 12th Annual Ojai Valley Family Shelter Golf Tournament will take place on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Soule Park Golf Course, 1033 E. Ojai Ave., Ojai. Owen says that he tournament needs more players to fill out the roster. For more information on how to enter, visit www.ovfs.org.

MICHAEL JOHN MENDOZA | 1951-2018 Michael John Mendoza of Oxnard lived with a spirit of adventure and died tragically on Aug. 13 with questions unanswered.

Born in Long Beach, he moved to Oxnard early in his youth.

It’s not clear in what decade he came, but he moved when his father was stationed at Point Mugu, serving in the Navy, and then graduated from Hueneme High School. As a young adult, Mendoza followed in his father’s footsteps and served in the Navy from 1979 to 1982. He then chose a career in maintenance, caring for facilities such as the Oxnard Performing Arts Center. He met his first love in high school and married in 1982. In 1983, his first daughter, Jayme, was born. In 1988, his second daughter, Melissa, came into the world. By the early 1990s, Mendoza became a single father after divorce. He remarried in 1999 and had two more children, Michael and Nicholette, but that marriage dissolved shortly thereafter and he became a single father again.

“He was Mr. Mom for a lot of years,” Melissa said. She reminisced about some of her favorite meals made by her father, including London broil with rice and chicken adobo.

While some may think single parenthood is limiting, Mendoza did his best to keep spirits high.

“My favorite memories of my dad, he would take me on rides on his motorcycle every now and again. He had several motorcycles and had a Harley later in life. He used to love to drive the PCH,” Jayme said, but motorcycles weren’t his only hobby. “He liked to sing karaoke. One of the ones [he would always sing], 3 doors down, ‘Kryptonite.’ ” Jayme remembered how he would try to teach her how to play pool on the pool table in their backyard.

“We would watch documentaries on trick shots,” Jayme said.

“He just liked to play pool.”

Jayme and Melissa both remember him as the “Fix-It Man.” “He was very well-known to be the local handyman,” Melissa said. “Everyone would go to him to fix cars, their houses; he had answers to everything. He knew how to fix anything.”

Many of Melissa’s memories included his inner prankster and desire to make people laugh.

MON$Y PIT Building code violations cause turmoil for locals

W

BY JIM MEDINA

hat seemed like an amazing gift has turned into a “nightmare” for Mark and Tiffiney Lewis.

Mark inherited his parent’s 1949-era cottage with a stunning hilltop view in the Camarillo Heights neighborhood in 2010. But after a sevenyear ordeal, the Lewises are financially and emotionally drained.

They have spent nearly $200,000 to undo much of what Mark’s late father — Lee Roy Lewis, a skilled craftsman — added to the original two-bedroom, one-bath home, mostly during the ’50s and ’60s.

Like many do-it-yourself property owners, Lee Roy neglected or didn’t think it was necessary to obtain building permits to enhance his home — though it’s fair to say that he went further than most people. Ventura County building officials were alerted to the issue by a disgruntled family member who knew the home’s history, according to Tiffiney.

To bring the home up to code, nonpermitted additions must be either retrofitted to meet today’s building and safety standards or be knocked down. To date, the Lewises have installed a new septic tank and torn down an atrium, a second-floor game room and an elevated deck, among other tasks. The to-do list still includes fixes to the “cave” (a covered outdoor barbecue pit), a breezeway and a master bedroom.

A retired Ventura County Sheriff’s Office investigator, Tiffiney thought she’d have some sway when she asked county building officials for leniency, such as grandfathering in some of the decades-old additions. She also emailed a letter to Supervisor Kelly Long, who represents Camarillo, and cc’d District Attorney Greg Totten.

“It’s almost like you’d think someone has a vendetta against us,” Tiffiney said, sitting at a dining room table — a makeshift desk strewn with notes, photos, legal pads, documents and a laptop. “No matter what we do, … what we have written, nobody’s going to budge.”

County officials have listened to the couple’s arguments but are bound by building and safety standards. “I’m certainly sympathetic to the ongoing situation that the Lewises continue to navigate with the county and I understand their frustration,” Long said in a statement, adding that she wants to ensure that the Lewises are treated fairly.

“They have my commitment that I will follow this through and use whatever resources are available to my office to assist them.”

When the process started in 2011, the Lewises — who previously were unaware of the permit issues — obtained a stay on civil administrative penalties for violating a county building code ordinance and later got a county property lien lifted.

Committed to resolving the problem, the Lewises hired an architect, a structural engineer and a civil engineer to draft plans to bring the three-bedroom, three-bath home into compliance — plans used to obtain building permits that won’t be officially recorded until all work is completed.

“It’s just been a nightmare,” said Tiffiney, who attributes some health issues to constant stress.

While the Lewises blame the county for being inflexible, Building and Safety Director Ruben Barrera noted that their submitted plans — approved by the county — dictate what retrofitting must be done to the house.

“They are just having difficulty understanding that what they are required to do is what’s on those plans, unless they go back and hire another engineer and have him give them a different set of retrofits that might work,” Barrera said.

It’s a difficult situation for the Lewises, but the county can’t just let it go, because there needs to be a semblance of compliance with state seismic safety requirements, he added.

“They have a pretty nice property,” Barrera said. “I understand the buildings are very clean and very nice, so they find it difficult to spend money and alter all of that for what appears to them not a good reason at all. They (the buildings) look safe to them but from an engineering perspective they don’t meet today’s codes and standards.”

He recommends that all homeowners obtain proper approvals and permits for home improvements so the work is reviewed and inspected. “A lot of people just do these things,” Barrera said. “It just takes a while and it’s difficult to get a permit, so they don’t want to go through the process of getting it. … I always advise that they do the work with a permit so they are protected and grandfathered forever, even if the codes change two, three, four times in the next 20 years.”

According to Barrera, the Lewises could sell their home now “as is” to a buyer or investor who is willing to complete the retrofitting.

But such a sale would be less than market value — nearby homes are selling for about $700,000 or more, real estate listings show.

The Lewises aren’t alone when it comes to contending with code compliance headaches.

A Camarillo Heights neighbor who didn’t want her name used also is making property improvements to comply with today’s building codes. While admitting that some of it is her own fault, she complained that she has made numerous calls to the county, has spent a lot of time on hold and has been frustrated by delays in obtaining approvals. But she hopes her case — minor in comparison with the Lewises — will be resolved in the coming weeks.

In the Lewises’ case, the process may take longer but the retrofitting is nearing completion, according to Tom Murphy, a Camarillo civil engineer who is representing the couple. “If you take everything that’s been done — that’s been accomplished in the last seven years — I would say they are 85 to 90 percent of the way there,” he said. “My advice would be to simply follow through on the remaining items that need to be done and finally achieve full zoning compliance with the county.”

But it’s uncertain if that is feasible. Murphy said that the Lewises have told him they are “financially strapped.”

ENDLESS HURDLES

TOP: Tiffiney Lewis is frustrated by the extensive retrofits required to bring her home up to today’s building and safety standards. ABOVE: Gary Carpenter must renew an expensive conditional-use permit, which includes new CEQA requirements, that expired in 1981 or shut down his decades-old Squab Ranch — including tearing down two small houses and kicking out two longtime tenants.

When the Lewises inherited the home after Mark’s mother, Geneva Lewis, passed away in 2010, the home was paid off. But they have had to borrow against equity in the house and tap into Tiffiney’s 401(k) retirement fund to retrofit the home. Tiffiney is also worried about an increase in property taxes.

“It’s very hard on us,” Tiffiney said. “Financially, we’re not going to have a choice but to sell when this is resolved.”

From the county’s perspective, the home remains in a “state of noncompliance.”

MUTUAL PAIN Snared in what a top county official acknowledges was a flawed policy, Gary Carpenter must renew a conditional-use permit that expired in 1981 or shut down his decadesold Squab Ranch, including tearing down two small houses and kicking out two longtime tenants.

Located in the backcountry about 14 miles west of Ojai, the ranch has been in the family for generations, dating back to when Carpenter’s grandfather staked out the 5-acre proper-

ty in 1921. A conditional-use permit (CUP) was issued for the squab business in the mid-1960s.

No one knew about the lapsed CUP until a complaint against the business was filed with the county. The permit renewal “absolutely” fell through the cracks, said Chris Stephens, director of the county Resource Management Agency, a multi-division department overseeing land use, planning, code enforcement and environmental regulation.

For decades, the county required property owners to keep track of CUP renewal dates — an obscure policy that has surprised many property owners, including Carpenter. “It’s an ongoing challenge for us,” Stephens said, noting that the county reversed course and began sending out CUP renewal notices about six years ago. He recommended that people should check their CUPs if they are uncertain about the renewal dates.

The revised policy hasn’t helped Carpenter, 74, who is wrestling with paying thousands of dollars to renew a permit that was granted before stricter California Environmental Quality Act standards were adopted. He blames his permit problem on government wildlife experts — he called them to get rid of a bear on his property and they were concerned about manure piles.

“They think they have the power of God,” Carpenter said of county officials.

The ranch — where squab, or young pigeons, are raised and slaughtered — can run as is during the renewal process. But without a new CUP — which covers the business and two small houses on the property — Carpenter fears losing his livelihood and displacing two friends, including a worker who has been with him for 35 years.

Carpenter questions the need for a new permit because the business already passes regular inspections by state authorities.

Though county officials are “guided” by a local zoning ordinance, Stephens said his staff has a little flexibility and is working with the rancher.

“They’re really making my life miserable,” Carpenter said.

Billy Clower Dance Studio Getting kids up on their feet for 65 years

by Emily Dodi “BILLY CLOWER DANCE STUDIO is a rite of passage for so many Ventura County families,” says Valerie Paris, the studio’s owner.

“We have families who have been coming here for three generations and dancers who have been dancing with us for over 25 years!” As proprietor, Paris is doing more than preserving a beloved Ventura institution. She’s carrying on a legacy that began 65 years ago. A legacy, Paris explains, that isn’t just about creating great dancers and performers but about helping to create great people.

Ted Russell opened the studio in 1940 and named it the Ted Russell Dance Studio and Clubhouse. “In 1951, he brought Billy Clower up from Long Beach to help [teach].” Born in Atlanta, Clower began dancing when he was 10 years old. “By the time he was 17, he had been the first tap dancer on the radio and he was touring nationally. In the 1940s, he began teaching in national convention tours with [other famous tap dancers like] Henry LeTang and Nick Castle. He even danced for FDR.” Russell went on to manufacture records for dance studios and Billy took over the teaching,” adds Paris. “Russell sold the studio to Billy in 1953, and Billy changed the name to Billy Clower Dance Studio.”

Years later, Clower’s daughter Diane Clower Gilbert took over the studio from her father.

When she passed away in 2013, it was thought that the studio would have to shut its doors, but Paris had other plans. “I bought it,” she says

matter of factly. “What else could I do?”

With three daughters, Paris had been a parent volunteer at the studio for years, so the transition to owner wasn’t completely out of sync.

It was still a big step — one that was motivated

by Paris’ oldest daughter, Sierra. “Sierra would tell me that when she grew up she wanted to be like Diane and own Billy Clower Dance Studio.”

Today, Paris handles all sides of the business, from the nuts and bolts to the more creative, such as expanding class offerings to include musical theater and acrobatic dance and launching an outreach program to local schools. She is quick to point out how much she

relies on her instructors, who teach everything from ballet to hip-hop and cheer. “I learned how to be creative, get organized, create fundraisers, run talent shows [and] be a strong leader,” Paris says. “Most important, I learned how much I love being a part of things that change kids’ lives.”

Paris is a firm believer in the many benefits of dance, from teaching discipline and how to express oneself to helping ease anxiety and depression. Some skills derived from dance are harder to quantify. “I remember my kids learned to skip at Billy Clower and [they] were some of the few who could do it in preschool,” Paris says with a laugh.

Many Billy Clower students have gone on to major in dance in college and perform professionally, including a few who became Radio City Rockettes. Paris’ daughter Sierra is currently studying dance, kinesiology and Spanish at San Diego State University. “When she’s home she teaches our summer camps” says Paris, who adds that Sierra has always had a knack for teaching. “In sixth grade, [Sierra] started an after-school dance program where she taught (and I wrangled) 32 kids a week.” These days, while away at school, Sierra teaches hip-hop, tap and ballet for two studios in San Diego.

But like her mom, Sierra’s heart is in Ventura at Billy Clower Dance Studio . . . and she still dreams of taking over the studio one day. Paris says, “Sierra will bring everything she is learning back to our community as the future owner of Billy Clower Dance Studio. Rest assured, it will be around for another 65 years.” ✦ Billy Clower Dance Studio, 75 MacMillan Ave., Ventura.

G

o up, down or a little way off Main Street in downtown Ventura, and you’ll find plenty of restaurants and bars that host a variety of musical talent. As long, that is, as the talent is 21 and older.

But what about 20 and younger?

There’s not much for young musicians, a reality that led veteran TV producer Jeffrey Willerth to develop the NambaYouth series.

These performance workshops at the Namba Performing Arts Space on South Oak Street not only highlight the musical talents of young vocalists and musicians, but allow these performers to interact with the audience.

“There is so much young talent around,” says Willerth, who became Namba’s administrator earlier this year. “But young people don’t have a lot of places — outside school, where they are more restricted in what they can and cannot play — to perform in front of audiences. So they shoot video of themselves, post to YouTube and garner an audience in that manner. Which is fine, but they don’t receive much meaningful feedback or encouragement.

“These workshops give them the chance not just to perform under the lights with a live audience, but to tell the audience about the music they do, and then to receive feedback right away, which is so important to helping them really develop and grow and develop that next level of their specific talent. It’s one thing to sing in the shower, quite another to sing before a crowd of people staring at you.”

The intimacy of performing live in the 100-

seat Namba theater makes a difference in the development of the young singers and musicians, says vocal coach Jodi Farrell, whose Vocal Studio in midtown Ventura is collaborating with Namba in presenting the workshops.

“It’s about the interaction between artist and audience,” says Farrell, who performs regularly in the area herself. “It’s about making the song more believable for both the performer and the audience. The kids grow by performing in front of others, and that’s a whole different experience than simply singing at home or in my studio or at school.”

The young performers who participate are grateful for the opportunity, not simply to showcase their own talents but to engage with and learn from the audience.

“We’d never performed by ourselves outside of school until we played here,” grins 18-year-old drummer David Krieger, whose jazz quartet O.K. Service played at the inaugural Namba showcase in June. “We had that freedom to play what we wanted to play, anything from old-school standards to modern fusion.

And being able to talk about what we do with the audience was really helpful.”

A student of noted local drummer/percussionist Al Velasquez, Krieger and his bandmates — newly graduated from Moorpark High School — “are still talking about how much we enjoyed that experience.”

In the NambaYouth series workshops, each performer is allowed 15-20 minutes to sing or play four or five songs, to share his or her feelings or attitudes about the music with the audience, and to dialogue with audience members about what and how they did. Performances are also taped for airing on local public access

television, says Willerth, enabling “those who can’t attend for whatever reason to enjoy young local talent.”

The notion of “engaging with the audience, talking to them, getting their feedback,” is what drew 16-yearold Sarah Clench, a student at Ventura High School and a vocal student of Farrell, to perform a mix of older and current songs in the Aug. 18 concert.

“I like to break songs down so I can make them new and bring myself into it,” says Clench. “That allows me to share them in a more personal way with the audience, so they get my connection to the music, and that helps us connect better with each other. And I feel like I grow as a singer.”

Recently, Clench and other musicians had the opportunity to participate in a community service project by visiting local nursing homes.

“A lot of people there are living with Alzheimer’s or dementia,” she notes, “but through music you can reach them in a place, a deeper part of their brain, they normally wouldn’t be, even if it’s just for a few minutes. And that’s what I want to do — connect with people. So I appreciate the opportunities Namba offers through these workshops.”

Clench hopes to major in music and chemical engineering in college, and Farrell points out that performing in front of live audiences and receiving feedback will serve her and other young artists well, regardless of the career path they choose.

“The beauty of musical performing,” she says, “is that it develops not only your talent,

it builds confidence and self-esteem that you can bring into other areas of your life.

I have some really talented 14-, 15-, 16-year-old singers who need that chance to develop not just their musical gifts but the self-confidence to handle situations outside of music. These workshops are a wonderful springboard and opportunity for them.”

The next NambaYouth workshop is scheduled for Sept. 15. Willerth aims to make Namba a key part of Ventura’s performing arts scene.

A veteran TV and film producer, writer and actor whose credits include Babylon 5 and The Amazing Race, Willerth wants to enhance Namba’s role and legacy as “a multidisciplinary place to tell and share culturally relevant stories” through the arts, including dance and theater as well as music, while offering something unique to the local music scene.

“My dad’s business was in direct-mail marketing — yes, junk mail,” he smiles. “But I learned from that how to connect specific content to specific audiences. Now I get to apply that skill set at Namba, taking the same steps to structure storytelling that is compelling, smart and engaging for the audience and performer, making it participatory in a way that serves the needs of everyone.”

Crazy Rich Asians The right film at the right time

by Dave Randall

daverandall2@gmail.com Crazy Rich Asians Directed by Jon M. Chu Starring: Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh Rated PG-13 For some suggestive content and language 2 hrs.

C

razy Rich Asians opens with a quote from Napoleon Bonaparte.

That doesn’t signify some exile to Elba, defeat at Waterloo or a right hand concealed between vest buttons. It means that what you are going to see is a delightful, mainstream, romantic comedy about rich people who are Asians, with an all-Asian cast. It’s a movie to love.

Though the first such film since Joy Luck Club (preceded 32 years earlier by Flower Drum Song), it represents more than just work for Asian actors, which is welcome, in and of itself. This adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s 2013 bestseller, directed by Jon M. Chu, tells a story sans stereotypes — unless they’re stereotypes about filthy rich people who aren’t named Winthrop and Muffy.

Constance Wu (TV’s Fresh Off the Boat) plays Rachel Chu, a New York University economics professor. Rachel’s boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), takes her to Singapore for the wedding of a friend, and to meet his family. What Rachel doesn’t know is that the Youngs are old-money rich, seething with their own peculiarities and prejudices. When she steps onto that first-class airline flight, Nick’s coyness implies that she’s getting only a glimpse of what she’s in for.

Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) portrays Nick’s mother, Eleanor, with the physical bearing of Nancy Reagan and the severity of a ruling monarch. She’s cold — like a chilled martini with a rancid olive — yet holds Bible studies with her sisters.

Rachel also gets little love from Nick’s extended family, who haze her mercilessly.

She does, however, have the comfort of college friend Peik Lin, buoyantly played by Awkwafi-

na, a witty revelation who, in her husky, Miley Cyrus-like delivery, cranks out the movie’s choicest zingers. Peik Lin is from a funny family: Ken Jeong (The Hangover) adds more laughs as her father.

Though smart as a whip and adorable, Rachel’s not prepared for the magnitude of Nick’s wealth, or the toxic disdain of his mother. As for Nick, he seems embarrassed by it all.

Golding, a British-Malaysian actor, represents the film’s multicultural appeal. He looks like baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams at that age, and has the vocal inflections of Daniel Radcliffe as the grown Harry Potter.

There are elements of the plot that are reminiscent of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, or one of writer/director Nancy Meyers’ efforts, such as Something’s Gotta Give. Or a fairy tale, for that matter. Sparkling graphics swirl and pop-up texts flurry about as the couple heads across the Pacific for the wedding. Shot in Malaysia and Singapore, the setting is gorgeously photographed. Mandarin and Cantonese are translated with subtitles so adroitly that they’re there and gone without disrupting the flow of the dialogue. Veteran writers Adele Lim and Peter Chiarelli adapted the book and effectively transferred its ebullience. There are two more novels, which, with the film’s box office success, probably means sequels.

Like all romantic comedies, you root for the best resolution, mostly for Rachel’s happiness.

Crazy Rich Asians is charming, with an infectious spirit, and important both as entertainment and for its cultural significance.

The movie business is a game of Risk. The gamble, here, was that people would go to see a good film, regardless of the derivation of its story and characters. In the last few years, producers have cast white actresses such as Emma Stone in Aloha and Scarlett Johansson in Ghost in the Shell in Asian roles. Authenticity bartered for marquee value. The success of Crazy Rich Asians may at least pause that practice. We can only hope. It’s the right movie at the right time. With the sewage of hatred intermittently bubbling from the country’s depths, people have chosen to see an amusing movie, with an attractive cast and location, ♦ regardless of little else.

chef took over a space in Oxnard’s tony Seabridge neighborhood and brought in something vastly different for the area. With a prix fixe menu that changed daily, communal dining and a price point that suited its exceptionally prepared and skillfully plated culinary masterpieces, James Chan’s Brasserie Communautaire quickly earned a reputation for exquisite farm-to-table fare and a dining experience meant to appeal to those who appreciate the experience, as well as the flavors, of haute cuisine.

Sadly, it was not to last. A little more than a year later, the space changed hands. Alan Nguyen took over and, 566 E.

Arriving on a warm summer Wednesday, the restaurant — now simply called Cocovin — was busy if not packed. Despite the changes, the local clientele still flock to the space (although a server confided to me that customers miss the old happy hour).

The homemade bread brought to the table while we perused the menu was absolutely wonderful. Soft and a little sweet with a beautiful crust, it came with both house-churned butter and an olive oil/balsamic dipping sauce. It was a promising start to the meal, and our only complaint was that there wasn’t more. the production department of Southland Publishing, is the copyrighted property of Southland Publishing.

intrigued by the full bar. No house cocktail menu yet exists, so I ordered an Old-Fashioned . . . and was very happy with the choice. It’s fun to let a creative bartender’s imagination run wild, but I will never complain about a well-prepared standard.

The steamed clams and mussels on the appetizer menu were the perfect size for our shellfish-loving 12-year-old — and gave us a chance to sample this delectable starter. The very flavorful broth was creamier than I would have expected (no mention of dairy on the menu) but it was undeniably delicious. Once his generous slice of toast was devoured, our son happily finished off the broth with a spoon.

Our other son ordered the shrimp scampi, and the entire table was impressed by the large prawns that were nestled onto a bed of homemade fettucini. Perfectly cooked with ample garlic, every bite was a joy. The sauce for the pasta was delicate, allowing the seafood to take center stage.

My own pasta dish — ragu di funghi pasta — was disappointing by comparison. The sauce was tomato-based, and while there were plenty of mushrooms, the acidic paste overwhelmed their earthy flavor and left the gravy, overall, a little one-dimensional. The fettucini was also a bit of a letdown: The noodles were inconsistently cooked, with several underdone and glued to each other.

In all fairness, the mushroom pasta was an aberration. My husband’s salmon, served over an asparagus and fennel slaw and topped with a beurre blanc, was simply incredible. “I don’t think I’ve ever had better salmon,” he said after one bite. Tasting it myself, I was tempted to agree. Fresh vegetables, buttery sauce with a touch of citrus and fresh salmon, cooked just a moment past rare, offered the perfect complement of flavors.

A few take-aways from our dinner at Cocovin. It’s still a smart, chic atmosphere, with a nice harbor view.

The chef excels at seafood, but needs to elevate the pasta game. The bar is lovely, and a few craft cocktails might be worth considering. And that bread was fantastic.

I can’t say that Cocovin is filling Brasserie C’s quite substantial shoes completely. But it’s an excellent effort, at a more reasonable price point, with food that is less conceptual, perhaps, but still very satisfying. If the few weaknesses can be addressed, I think Seabridge may finally have a keeper. Third time’s the charm. ♦

issues, such as the failure to weed out any insta-beloveds who kiss like big-lipped fish.

Your desire to go all blurtypants on the guy likewise seems romantic — until you consider the psychological mechanics behind it. Chances are, you’re in a state of psychological tension — all fired up with suspense at how the guy will respond — and only by telling him will you finally get relief. (It’s basically the emotional version of really, really needing to pee.)

Research on sex differences in “parental investment” by evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers suggests that it’s probably a bad idea y friend was dying for you, as a woman, to tell her new boy- to go first with the friend she loves him ILY. Trivers explains but waited till he that in species like said it first. She, in o u r s, i n wh i c h fact, makes that a rule. Now I have a females get stuck new boyfriend. Should I just shame- with the burden of parental care lessly own my feelings — that is, tell (should sex lead to the creation of him I love him? Or should I follow toddlers), they evolved to vet males my friend’s lead? for ability and willingness to invest —Hating Waiting — more than that initial teaspoonful of sperm, that is. Men coevolved to expect this — to expect to have to We have this notion that it’s really prove themselves to women to get sex. In short, men chase; women romantic for a couple to say “I love choose. you” pronto: “The moment he/she Sure, there are couples out there sat down at the bus stop next to me, I just knew!” In reality, “love at first in which the woman chased and sight” tends to come with some things ended up just fine. But those

evolved differences in male and female psychology are still driving us — even now, in our world of smartphones, facial recognition software, and, before long, family vacations in flying minivans.

In other words, you’re taking a risk by tossing out the ILY first — possibly causing the guy to want you less than if you let him take the lead in ILY blurtations. And hi, feminists! I can hear the flicking of your lighters as you ready your pitchforks and hay. But the way I see it,

I got this.”

The benefits of exorcise My fiancée dumped me three months ago. I was devastated, but I’ve come to realize that we shouldn’t be together. Now she keeps pressing for us to meet, saying there’s stuff she needs to “process.” I was finally starting to get over her, but should I just go?

You’re taking a risk by tossing out the ILY first — possibly causing the guy to want you less than if you let him take the lead in ILY blurtations.

Too mush information

This happens after individual neurons each fire off a chemical messenger — a neurotransmitter — that another neuron catches and absorbs. The more a person repeats the same action — and the more a group of neurons does the same fireoff-and-catch sequence — the faster they get at it. Eventually, these neurons become what I like to describe as a “thinkpack” — conserving mental energy through bypassing the conscious thought department and robotically defaulting to whatever action worked for the person in the past.

Right now, the last thing you need is to stall your recovery process — the weakening over time of those entrenched neural pathways — by getting the band (Ramon and The Neurons) back together. If you feel bad about saying no to seeing her, consider how she’s prioritizing her need to “process” over your continued recovery. Aww … how loving! (“It’s not you; it’s me — and how my crappy new insurance no longer covers therapy.”) ♦

Getting together with your ex-fiancée after you’ve finally started to move on is like being just out of rehab and reconnecting with a friend: “What could be the harm? A nice pastrami on rye with my old heroin dealer!”

Your brain, like an air-conwhat should be feminist is acknowl- ditioned Miami mansion, is edging what seems to be the optimal “expensive” to run, so it tries to go approach for women per research on autopilot (basically nonthink on human psychology. mode) whenever possible.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

The two pieces of advice I have for you may initially seem contradictory, but they are in fact complementary. Together they’ll help guide you through the next three weeks. The first comes from herbalist and wise woman Susun Weed. She suggests that when you face a dilemma, you should ask yourself how you can make it your ally and how you can learn the lesson it has for you. Your second burst of wisdom is from writer Yasmin Mogahed: “Study the hurtful patterns of your life. Then don’t repeat them.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Speak the following declaration aloud and see how it feels: “I want strong soft kisses and tender unruly kisses and secret truth kisses and surprise elixir kisses. I deserve them, too.” If that puts you in a brave mood, Taurus, add a further affirmation: “I want ingenious affectionate amazements and deep dark appreciation and brisk mirthful lessons and crazy sweet cuddle wrestles. I deserve them, too.” What do you think? Do these formulas work for you? Do they put you in the proper frame of mind to co-create transformative intimacy? I hope so. You’re entering a phase when you have maximum power to enchant and to be enchanted.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

As you map out your master plan for the next 14 months, I invite you to include the following considerations: an intention to purge pretend feelings and artificial motivations; a promise to change your relationship with old secrets so that they no longer impinge on your room to maneuver; a pledge to explore evocative mysteries that will enhance your courage; a vow to be kinder toward aspects of yourself that you haven’t loved well enough; and a

search for an additional source of stability that will inspire you to seek more freedom.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

If you have been communing with my horoscopes for a while, you’ve gotten a decent education — for free! Nonetheless, you shouldn’t depend on me for all of your learning needs. Due to my tendency to emphasize the best in you and focus on healing your wounds, I may neglect some aspects of your training. With that as caveat, I’ll offer a few meditations about future possibilities. 1. What new subjects or skills do you want to master in the next three years?

2. What’s the single most important thing you can do to augment your intelligence? 3. Are there dogmas you believe in so fixedly and rely on so heavily that they obstruct the arrival of fresh ideas? If so, are you willing to at least temporarily set them aside?

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“All the world’s a stage,” wrote Shakespeare, “And all the men and women merely players.” In other words, we’re all performers. Whenever we emerge from solitude and encounter other people, we choose to express certain aspects of our inner experience even as we hide others. Our personalities are facades that display a colorful mix of authenticity and fantasy. Many wise people over the centuries have deprecated this central aspect of human behavior as superficial and dishonest.

But author Neil Gaiman thinks otherwise: “We are all wearing masks,” he says. “That is what makes us interesting.” Invoking his view — and in accordance with current astrological omens — I urge you to celebrate your masks and disguises in the coming weeks. Enjoy the show you present. Dare to entertain your audiences.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

I think you’ve done enough rehearsals. At this point, the apparent quest for a little extra readiness is beginning to lapse into procrastination. So I’ll suggest that you set a date for opening night. I’ll nudge you to have a cordial talk with yourself about the value of emphasizing soulfulness over perfectionism. What? You say you’re waiting until your heart stops fluttering and your bones stop chattering? I’ve got good news: The greater your stage fright, the more moving your performance will be.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

In all the time we’ve worked on diminishing your suffering, we may not have focused enough on the fine art of resolving unfinished business. So let’s do that now, just in time for the arrival of your Season of Completion. Are you ready to start drawing the old cycle to a close so you’ll be fresh when the new cycle begins? Are you in the mood to conclude this chapter of your life story and earn the relaxing hiatus you will need before launching the next chapter?

Even if you don’t feel ready, even if you’re not in the mood, I suggest you do the work anyway. Any business you leave unfinished now will only return to haunt you later. So don’t leave any business unfinished!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Are you ready to mix more business with pleasure and more pleasure with business than you have ever mixed? I predict that in the coming weeks, your social opportunities will serve your professional ambitions, and your professional ambitions will serve your social opportunities. You will have more than your usual amount of power to forge new alliances and expand your web of connections.

Here’s my advice: Be extra charming, but not grossly opportunistic. Sell yourself, but with grace and

integrity, not with obsequiousness. Express yourself like a gorgeous force of nature, and encourage others to express themselves like gorgeous forces of nature.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“When I picture a perfect reader,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “I picture a monster of courage and curiosity, also something supple, cunning, cautious, a born adventurer and discoverer.”

I suspect he was using the term “monster” with a roguish affection. I am certainly doing that as I direct these same words toward you, dear Sagittarian reader. Of course, I am always appreciative of your courage, curiosity, cunning, suppleness and adventurousness. But I’m especially excited about those qualities now, because the coming weeks will be a time when they will be both most necessary and most available to you.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You do not yet have access to maps of the places where you need to go next. That fact may tempt you to turn around and head back to familiar territory.

But I hope you’ll press forward even without the maps. Out there in the frontier, adventures await you that will prepare you well for the rest of your long life.

And being without maps, at least in the early going, may actually enhance your learning opportunities.

Here’s another thing you should know: Your intuitive navigational sense will keep improving, the farther you get from recognizable landmarks.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Healing isn’t impossible. You may not be stuck with your pain forever. The crookedness in your soul and the twist in your heart may not always define who you are. There may come a time when you’ll no longer be plagued by obsessive thoughts that keep

returning you to the tormenting memories. But if you hope to find the kind of liberation I’m describing here, I advise you to start with these two guidelines: 1. The healing may not happen the way you think it should or imagine it will. 2. The best way to sprout the seeds that will ultimately bloom with the cures is to tell the complete truth.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Nineteenth-century British painter J.M.W. Turner was one of the greats. Renowned for his luminous landscapes, he specialized in depicting the power of nature and the atmospheric drama of light and color.

Modern poet Mary Ruefle tells us that although he “painted his own sea monsters,” he engaged assistants “to do small animals.” She writes that “He could do a great sky, but not rabbits.” I’m hoping that, unlike Turner, you Piscean folks will go both ways in the coming weeks. Give as much of your creative potency and loving intelligence to the modest details as to the sweeping vistas.
