OPINION Editor’s note

Why we hope D riving to work, irrelevant election signs remain steadfast at their posts, the sunlight an orange hue on the landscape from Woolsey and Hill fires. On social media, friends share stories of animals in need of rescuing in Malibu. Thousand Oaks and county residents remain in shock over fire and shots fired and lives vanquished in seconds. The city known as Paradise in Northern California burned to the ground with human fatalities growing. As thousands sift through the debris of what once was and memories of those who died, most people are still just trying to get to work on time to meet deadlines and complete assignments just to secure a little piece of the pie to make them feel safe, secure and empowered.

Heated conversations ensue over prevention tactics, both for mass shootings and wildfires. The solutions come to a head: for mass shootings, better mental health services, stricter punishment for wayward young men acting out aggression, more law enforcement, tighter gun control and condemning the NRA; for wildfire, abatement of dry and dead brush — the President’s insensitivity to loss of both homes and life is not surprising. These solutions, however, are nothing new. They surface every time after

tragedies like these, but still, Ventura County is especially vulnerable.

The grief of sudden loss, be it tangible valuables, priceless photos and heirlooms or actual life, is pretty unbearable, almost toxic. There is no timeline for healing, no method for recovery that can guarantee a sense of normalcy, no amount of reassurance that this feeling of deep sorrow will ever truly abate, but in that sea of sadness encapsulated in fear, it is with each breath that we have hope.

Reflecting on the last week, coupled with the anniversary of the Thomas fire just weeks away, it’s impossible to deny the reality of how temporary everything is. From life to home to simple comfort, nothing is certain. It is, however, with compassion that we can embrace today, this moment and the future that hope can be realized. Tragedy shouldn’t be our only reason to come together as a community but it is the impetus for cultivating meaningful connections.

It is never too soon to seize the day, to enjoy your life, even in the midst of chaos and heartbreak. If we allow the sadness and fear to overcome our being, all is lost anyway. So why do we hope? Because it’s the only thing we have when the darkness feels inescapable. Moving forward, hope springs eternal. We should never lose sight of that.

wouldn’t even acknowledge AIDS; in 2018, a bigoted administration takes what little is left of the Ryan White funds and channels them into caging immigrant children.

In the 1980s the numbers rose because Ventura County residents continued to have unsafe sex, thinking they weren’t going to get AIDS because it was elsewhere, in West Hollywood or San Francisco. In 2018, infections are rising because we think HIV and AIDS are else-TIME, something in the past that couldn’t happen now.

But it is happening now. And people are still dying from AIDS complications, at least one of whom I know right now. In the Quilt Project we’re making quilts for two people who died in part from AIDS complications in 2015, and the drugs you take may have severe side effect, or not work properly if you don’t take them 95 percent of the time.

Or they might not work at all.

Please play safe. Use PEP and PrEP and condoms and get educated and tested. As we say in DCVC, “PrEP it, wrap it, test it.” I have AIDS. You seriously do not want this disease.

O

ctober is AIDS Awareness Month, and amongst other awareness raisers, my fellow activists and I are displaying exhibits in Downtown Ventura at the Foster Library (“LBGT VC: A Decade of Activism 1990-99”) and the Museum of Ventura County (“AIDS History & Queer Art”).

I’ve been an AIDS activist since 1990, when I joined AIDS Care, and today I’m in the HIV Coalition of Ventura County and on the AIDS Advisory Committee of the Diversity Collective Ventura County, who operate the local LGBTI Community Resource Center. I’ve also rejoined my 1990’s colleagues from the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt’s Ventura County chapter to form Quilt Project Gold Coast.

And I have had HIV since 1999 and AIDS since 2003, so I say with some authority that it seems the more things change, the more they stay the same.

By the century’s turn the numbers of those infected from sexual encounters in the LGBTI community were at their historic low. The Gay

& Lesbian Community Center, AIDS Project Ventura County and various HIV/AIDS Coalitions, plus Ventura County Public Health, had done such targeted outreach to various populations, most especially gay and bi men, that education about safer sex, condoms and testing were on the minds of our community.

Sadly, those community institutions began to collapse, leaving only Ventura County Public Health to handle the case load of those living with the virus (today nearly 400 people), and they and few others, including Planned Parenthood, to educate.

But none of these could quite speak to gay, bi and transgender people looking for the safe space of an LGBTI community center to feel comfortable and not discriminated against.

GLCC closed after Ryan White federal AIDS monies dried up for nonprofits. Men began trekking to the Santa Barbara LGBTI center until it too largely abandoned its HIV program, turning its caseload over to their public health authority, ending their AIDS Walk and most services for the LGBTI community.

So it is sad but not surprising that in 2016, the numbers, almost all gay and bi men and women who have sex with them, were in the high 40s, almost doubling in 2017 to 85 and now as of September 2018 around 55 people.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. In the 1980s a bigoted administration

Borderline tragedy: a reminder of who our heroes are

life protecting other lives,” said friend Tony Duran.

Another hero was Ventura County Sheriff’s deputy, Sgt. Ron Helus, the man who went in first and was killed by the shooter.

“I don’t think there’s anything more heroic than what he did,” Sgt. Eric Buschow said. “He went in there to save lives. He took decisive action, and it’s just a tragic loss for us. This was

n Tuesday, Nov. 6, the American people voted. The Republicans kept the Senate. And the Democrats regained the majority of the House of Representatives. I assumed that those facts would be my next byline story. Instead, on Nov. 7, an ex-marine with PTSD walked into the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, took out a gun and killed 12 innocent victims and injured over 20 people in what has become one of the darkest days in Ventura County history. As we continue as a country to decompress after these mass-shooting tragedies, the solutions are not simple, and the questions continue to become more complex. But instead of trying to figure out political moves, one thing we can, and should, all agree on is that on that sad day in Thousand Oaks, there were true heroes we can all aspire to be like.

One such hero was 23-year-old Justin Meek, in his blood. He had just a natural instinct for a Borderline promoter and bouncer who was going after crooks, and he did it with enthusishot while saving the lives of others, helping asm, with a great deal of intelligence.” them escape.

on those victims and the ones who tried to help.

In our divided country filled with social media battles and tribal politics, looking to the decent and heroic would be a much better way to focus our energies. Yes, we have political issues to discuss, but if we forget about the everyday people, as unique individuals, then what’s the point of discussing those issues if we forget the faces of those we are trying to help?

Justin Meek and Ron Helus are reminders that people can rise above fear and sacrifice for the safety of others. In a culture obsessed with comic book heroes, these men truly are the inspiration and archetypes of what DC’s Superman and Marvel’s Captain America try to represent.

We too often look at only tragedy and forget the heroes. There’s a quote by Fred Rogers that I’m reminded of whenever these stories make the paper: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to wife, Karen, were always so kind to me when me, ‘Look for the helpers.

Volunteers prepare plates for guests at the 2017 Ventura County Rescue Mission’s Great Thanksgiving Banquet.

Family for a day

OXNARD WASTEWATER SYSTEM RECEIVES POSITIVE CREDIT BOOST

Rescue Mission sets the table for Ventura County’s homeless, poor

T

hanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 22, and as families gather in celebration and reunion, for those less fortunate than others, there is hope for a happy holiday.

From noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 21, the Ventura County Rescue Mission will host its annual Great Thanksgiving Banquet where it expects over 1,000 guests who will be treated to a Thanksgiving style dinner, making it the largest of its kind in the county.

Ventura County Rescue Mission Director John E. Saltee says that he expects near to 250 volunteers will assist the day of, serving meals to the less fortunate. The Rescue Mission has on site a professional kitchen capable of producing thousands of meals, some of which are sent to the Mission’s other locations in Los Angeles.

Saltee says that volunteers are what make the day, and the Mission itself, successful.

“Our volunteers are the backbone of this ministry because if we had to pay minimum wage we’d pay over $1 million a year,” said Saltee. “We have over 400 active volunteers a month.”

MIDTERM ELECTION UPDATE

As the vote count continues, Ventura County results remain steadfast. Provisional and mail-in ballots, which are allowed to be submitted the day of voting at an official polling location, have proven decisive in races across the state, but in Ventura County, they have either widened leads or left results unchanged from the night of Tuesday, Nov. 6.

With one exception, the race for California U.S. House District 25, which includes a portion of Simi Valley, ended with the Republican incumbent Steve Knight conceding to Democratic challenger Katie Hill over the weekend. The race was the focus of much national attention, as Knight’s seat was targeted by the Democratic Party for its potential to flip. Hill currently leads Knight by 10,000 votes as of 8:40 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14.

Semi-official results in Ventura County were updated on Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 3:10 p.m.

Chalk up a win for environmentalists as a federal judge has halted offshore fracking pending further review along the California coast.

The Environmental Defense Center and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper filed a lawsuit in November 2016, alleging that the federal government had failed to disclose the potential risks and impacts caused by fracking and acidizing from offshore platforms in southern California and that fracking could be in violation of the Endangered Species Act should the technique harm animals on the list.

The court ordered an injunction to prevent fracking before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can complete a safety review.

“We are pleased that the court has put a halt to the risky practice of fracking and acidizing off our coast,” said Maggie Hall, Environmental Defense Center staff attorney. “This ruling ensures that no further permits will be issued until potential impacts to threatened and endangered species, including the Southern sea otter and Western snowy plover, are considered.”

The court also ruled in favor of the state of California’s claim that fracking and acidizing cannot occur until the Coastal Commission reviews any potential harm to the state’s coastal zone, which will require a full public hearing process.

Serving up meals will be local dignitaries including Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn and Eric Harrison, President and CEO of United Way of Ventura County, to name just a few.

The banquet is an at least 25 year old tradition. Saltee says that the event will feed those without homes, the very poor who have difficulty “making ends meet.” The Lighthouse for Women & Children, which the Mission also oversees, will be joining the banquet as well.

“We become their family for that day,” said Saltee. “We’ve never turned anyone away, we always have tables in reserve and we’ll take as many as we can possibly fit.”

The Ventura County Rescue Missions’ Great Thanksgiving Banquet will take place from noon to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 21, at 234 E. 6th St. in Oxnard. For more information, visit www.vcrescuemission.org/thanksgiving.

The Simi Valley Council on Aging and Rotary Club of Simi will host its annual Sunrise Thanksgiving dinner with seatings at 6 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 21, at the Simi Valley Senior Center, 3900 Avenida Simi, Simi Valley. Reservation required. For ✦ tickets and more information, call 805-583-6363.

Locally, incumbents did not fare well on school boards and city councils. In Camarillo, long time councilmembers Mike Morgan (elected in 1980) and Jan McDonald (elected in 1998) are thus far in fourth and fifth respectively behind newcomers Shawn Mulchay and Susan Santangelo. The race, with the top three vote-getters elected, showed incumbent mayor Charlotte Craven in first.

The Ventura County Recorder’s office said on Tuesday afternoon that there still remain over 97,000 ballots to be counted countywide. An update is expected by the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 16.

The semi-official results also show that longtime Port Hueneme city councilman Jim Hensley (currently fourth in a top three contest), Fillmore’s Carrie Broggie (third in a top two) and Santa Paula’s Ginger Gherardi (fifth in a top three) are trailing.

The city of Oxnard’s Wastewater Revenue Bonds have been given an increased credit rating by Standard & Poors, raising from BBB to A-, affirming the city’s Wastewater Fund outlook as “stable.”

“This is a proud moment for the city and excellent news for our community reflecting two years of hard work and discipline,” said recently re-elected Mayor Tim Flynn. “Adjusting rates was necessary to get the [city’s] wastewater fund back into good shape. Our work has paid-off. The new bond rating will lower the city’s borrowing costs and make it less expensive to finance the much needed improvements of the system.”

S&P Global Ratings said that the city’s wastewater system’s financial performance improved “significantly” in 2017, the same year the Oxnard City Council approved a five-year wastewater rate package, the first rate going into effect on July 1, 2017, the second in January 2018. There will be three more increases of 5.25 percent as part of the package.

WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN SETS UP FOR WOOLSEY, HILL FIRE AIDE

Back again after the Thomas Fire, José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen returned to Ventura and Los Angeles counties to again assist in the recovery effort following the Woolsey and Hill fires.

Local chef Tim Kilcoyne, whose assistance through WCK during the Thomas Fire gave him an opportunity to assist in Hawaii during a volcanic eruption and elsewhere, delivered lunch to a team of Los Angeles firefighters who remembered him from September’s Carr Fire in Shasta County.

Over 10,000 meals have been prepared by volunteers, which were provided to first responders and Red Cross evacuation centers, wrote Kilcoyne on a Facebook post.

“I tear up every time I go into the kitchen,” said Kilcoyne. “It’s unbelievable to see how this all comes together.”

Following the Thomas Fire and Montecito mudslide in December 2017 and January 2018, chefs Jason Collis, owner of Plated Events by Chef Jason in Santa Paula, and Kilcoyne partnered with his wife Lisa McCune Kilcoyne of Scratch Sandwich Counter in The Annex at The Collection in Oxnard, played pivotal roles in international relief efforts, visiting Hawaii and Guatemala.

Sgt. Helus was a 29-year veteran with plans to retire soon, according to Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean. A procession from Thousand Oaks to Ventura saw thousands gathering along freeway bridges and the 101 Freeway as Helus was transported to the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s office early Thursday morning.

The names of the victims are as follows: Sgt. Ron Helus, 54 Sean Adler, 48 Cody Coffman, 22 Justin Meek, 23 Alaina Housley, 18 Noel Sparks, 21 Blake Dingam, 21 Jake Dunham, 21 Kristina Morisette Telemachus Orfanos, 27 Mark Meza, 20 Daniel Manrique, 33 In the aftermath, more details have been released regarding the shooter.

Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean identified Ian David Long, 28, of Newbury Park as the suspected gunman. Long, a Marine Corps Veteran, allegedly entered Borderline in a dark hoodie and mask, armed with what Dean said was a Glock 21 .45-caliber handgun with an extended magazine that he had purchased legally. Long opened fire on the crowd of hundreds and shot Sgt. Helus before turning the gun on himself, according to authorities.

Long reportedly posted to social IAN DAVID LONG media shortly before the attack took place, writing that he “had no reason to do it” other than “life is boring.”

In April, police were called to Long’s home after neighbors reported loud arguing noises coming from the residence. Neighbors reported frequent loud arguments occurring between Long and his mother. Officials with the crisis intervention team, which includes mental health experts, determined that Long did not qualify for an involuntary psychiatric hold, also known as a 5150.

Dominique Colell, Newbury Park High School track coach where Long attended in 2008, told the Los Angeles Times that Long attacked and groped her over a personal cell phone.

Colell said that due to pressure from school administrators that reporting Long’s attack could jeopardize his application to join the Marine Corps, she did not report the incident.

On Thursday, Nov. 8, both the Hill and Woolsey fires forced many families of the victims to evacuate their homes just as agents from the FBI and ATF arrived to assist with the investigation. Some of the victims, such as Telemachus Orfanos, survived the October 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in Las Vegas. ✦ November 15, 2018 —

Freedom of choice Ventura physician volunteers in Malibu to bring supplies to those who stayed PHOTO BY DR. SABINE HAZAN STEINBERG

by Michael Sullivan

michael@vcreporter.com

D

r. Sabine Hazan Steinberg is known in Ventura for her clinical trials practice, helping those who have any sort of ailment qualify for studies to help improve their quality of life. She, however, took on a different role as the Woolsey Fire scorched Malibu: supplier of essentials — masks, bottled water, hoses, etc. When she heard the news of the fire on Friday when she was in Ventura, she decided to get involved, especially when a string of emails from Malibu residents confirmed that many were staying home despite mandatory evacuation notices.

She recalled her journey into the fire zone and reflected on the numerous locals who stepped in to save animals, people, houses and neighborhoods.

You were at the Malibu evacuation center on Tuesday night.

Basically, I was in the meeting yesterday — a lot of anger, a lot of frustration, a lot of questions that were not answered.

I think a lot reasons is, it was huge, it was extended all over California, there were not enough resources to help people, yet people chose to stay in the community. … Some people were stranded there trying to hose down their houses and they needed supplies. I tried to get into the community when I found out about it on Friday night to bring at least masks. I thought everybody evacuated. Actually a lot of people didn’t evacuate. In every neighborhood there was about probably 25 to 50 men to 100 men, I mean, it’s unbelievable — I don’t have an exact number — it’s unbelievable how many people stayed in those neighborhoods to protect their neighborhoods because they didn’t think there was enough resources to help.

When people look at Malibu, they kind of judge, they think celebrities, it’s the rich folks. It’s not. It’s the teachers, the contractors, it’s construction workers, it’s the people who work at Ralph’s, restaurant owners, the D’Amore’s pizza, it’s all these workers that live there. Especially the teachers, a lot of teachers live in Malibu to accommodate the schools. And so they lost their houses. But they stayed to help the neighbors to evacuate the neighbors.

Where were you in action?

On Friday night I was in Ventura. I was reading these emails that were in an email feed of 75 people. I noticed a lot of people who were staying and so I dropped off my child (with relatives) in L.A. Then I stopped at the hospital in Santa Monica and picked up 50 N95 masks. Surely, my first thought was, these people are smoking, inhaling all this smoke. In the fire, they are not protected, they are not fireman.

Instinctually, where did you go?

I came in on PCH. I thought, you know what, I am a doctor.

They are going to let me go in with masks and supplies, I was stopped. They weren’t letting anyone in. Even in a war zone they let doctors in. These people are in there, they need masks and need supplies. They said, “No, sorry. Not letting anyone in. They should evacuate. If you have access, you should tell them to evacuate.” My problem is, you can’t convince people to do things. It’s not my decision to tell people what to do, not here to impose my views and my vision. Everyone chooses to live their life; it is called freedom of choice.

What was going on when you got in?

There were parents, children, people were sleeping on the beach with the horses. One person in particular, Larry Gray, saved all the horses — this guy is like family to me. This is the guy I went back for, to him and so many others that are like family that have taken me in and helped me when I needed things, it’s about that bond. That’s why you go up there. I saw all the horses left on the beach, I thought, my god, he needs

Smoke from Woolsey Fire billows over Santa Monica Mountains. supplies: Hoses and masks and water and food.

How many animals were evacuated?

Oh… oh my god, hundreds. Pigs, horses, chickens, roosters, turtles. I mean, some chickens didn’t make it because they were all the way on top of the hill. It was really impressive to see the heart and the humanity of these people wanting to protect animals, children and everything, and they stayed behind to protect all that. There was a teacher who lost her house and basically was on the beach feeding, grabbing, trying to find food from different homes, put a table for all the people staying on the beach, sleeping on the beach. You have to remember, the evacuation was poorly, poorly done. They told everyone to evacuate via Santa Monica, so people were stuck in their cars with fumes flying for five, six hours. They were sitting ducks.

Instead of being told to go to Ventura, which I was speeding through at 60 miles an hour.

There was no car going to Ventura. Because they (officials) thought the fires were in Ventura, they thought the fires were in Camarillo, burning in Trancas (Canyon). The thing is, the fires were everywhere. … Some people’s cars exploded in the fire, they were stranded, they walked. Nobody drove them to the beach.

The next day, I went in with six retired firemen, they had their cards. They weren’t allowed to go in. We weren’t allowed to go in. I tried the doctor card, it didn’t work. I tried the fireman card, it didn’t work. Finally, one of the neighbors, one person who lost her house who saw that all her friends were trying to save her house on social media, I guess, came and she had been one of the people who had been one of the rescuers in 9/11, so she had a special card that could get us in. She had COPD, she didn’t want to stay, she just went in to get us in and dropped off a bunch of other people — a very resourceful community. …

Now we were all kind of stranded in a bit because we didn’t have cars and all of a sudden, it was like miracles. People would show up and say, “Hey, I got this car. Take this car, start driving, let’s bring this.” We definitely delivered all the supplies. … By some craziness, people started coming by boats, paddle boats, by canoe, kayak, jet ski, they landed, parked on the beach, walked to the neighbors to help us. I cannot tell you how many people were there. I took four or five people out of Malibu that had been stranded. The third day when I tried to

A herstory in ink

Tattooed and Tenacious at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum

by Emily Dodi

“And

then there were the women.”

They look out from images on the wall: confident and beautifully adorned. They are Tattooed and Tenacious: Inked Women in California’s History, on exhibit at Channel Islands Maritime Museum through Dec. 30.

“There’s so much that the sailors tell about their tattoos,” says collections manager Heather Behrens. “You think of the drunken sailor who just wakes up with a tattoo.

Sometimes it is kind of true, but more of it is myth. And then there were the women coming into the picture. We date them back [in California] to the early 1500s.”

The first tattooed women of California were members of native tribes who tattooed lines on their chins in their tribe’s signature pattern. The tattoos represented a variety of things, from a woman’s loyalty to her tribe to her hopes for a long and happy life. In addition to archival images of Native American women, there is one of Olive Oatman, a pioneer woman surrounded in myth. Many believe that she was kidnapped by the Yavapai while traveling west with her family in 1851 and later sold to a Mohave tribe.

Whatever the truth, Oatman’s image is undeniably striking: Her enigmatic gaze and stern pioneer dress contrast with the dark, bold lines tattooed on her chin.

From women of the Old West to tattooed ladies of the circus and high-society debutantes of the Victorian Era, the women featured represent the swath of time and society.

One look and you know they all have stories to tell. Many of the stories just happen to be written in ink on their bodies, taking the shape of flowers, lions or even six United States Presidents. Some tattoos are simple, while others are elaborate reproductions of works by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The inked images may point to a woman’s past, her dreams, her place in society or her defiance of it. They are personal and meaningful. They are permanent, after all; stories without end.

One story belongs to Maud Wagner, the first known non-Native American female tattooist in the United States. Maud was a circus performer when she met Gus Wagner in 1904. She asked him to “tattoo her all over and teach her to tattoo.” They married and opened a tattoo shop in Los Angeles. Their daughter, Lotteva, became a well-known tattooist in her own right.

Then there is Dorothy “Dainty Dotty” Jensen, a former “fat lady” with Ringling Bros.

Circus. She and her husband ran a tattoo shop in Los Angeles after World War II. Dainty Dotty created many well-known flash, or pre-drawn, tattoos that other tattooists use as templates. (Many Dainty Dotty flash are still used to this day.)

Ahead of their time, female tattooists of the early 20th century bucked societal norms. Ruth Weyland, a tattooist in 1930s San Francisco, was known for her tattoos of lesbian imagery. For Weyland, Wagner, Jensen and others, being a tattooist offered a livelihood at a time when women didn’t have many options. The same went for famous tattooed ladies of the circus, like Artoria Gibbons, Lady Viola (born Ethel Martin Vangi in 1898) and Betty Broadbent. In the 1920s and 1930s they earned in one week what most people — man or woman — made in a month.

Tattooed and Tenacious illustrates how times have changed. Tattoos went from being something a woman would hide under her clothes to something to be shown off. They’ve always been and continue to be symbols of one’s ownership over one’s body — from defying the Victorian notion that women should be “pure” to telling a personal story for all to see.

Rounding out the exhibit is a display showing how tattoos are made and a mannequin featuring the work of six Bay Area tattooists.There is also an invitation to go on the museum’s Facebook page to share personal photos of tattoos and, most of all, their stories. ✦

MALIBU Continued from Page 9 get back, again, impossible. … We went through the canyons and found this one pass to go in and we got in, but why did it have to be like that?

Why did I have to risk our lives in the canyons when I could have just driven PCH?

How many people do you think were coming to loot the area?

You know what I realize, you can’t really trust the news. I personally didn’t see any. I didn’t see any looters.

I saw an old man wandering, wanted to see his house. He was kind of like really upset, sleeping somewhere. I brought him some food. I saw a little girl running around lost. I brought her to shelter. I didn’t really see the vagabonds, I saw scarce firetrucks, I saw a lot of policeman blocking roads, but I didn’t see the looters.

One of the biggest things the locals were essential at, the firemen were not from the area. You know, you have to remember, there were multiple fires and they were deployed everywhere. The locals were probably in Thousand Oaks or hadn’t slept and were exhausted, I feel for those guys.

There was an outage too.

Internet, WiFi, data was down.

They [firefighter] were lost, poor guys were really lost. They saw the fire in the homes but they didn’t know how to get to the home. They needed the locals to say, this is the road they take. The problem is, there are a lot homes that are kind of isolated, poor mapping, poor streets, poor access. But I have to say, the mayor stepped in, the community came together, the community is really strong.

Is anyone planning for what happened in Montecito?

Those hills are pretty raw now in Malibu.

100 percent. I think people that live on a cliff, a hill … in my opinion need to evacuate, houses are going to start falling one after the other.

It’s so hard to prepare for that.

Natural disasters are just that.

You have to say, look, ultimately, freedom of choice, people are there. We just try to help. The conservancy does a really poor job in clearing brush. If they had kept the brush 500 feet from the home, probably none of this would have happened. The conservancy needs to get rid of this brush annually.

You know, these insurance companies are insuring all these homes.

If there is no money in the state, there is no money in the city. Reach out to these insurance companies, help us protect the area, help us put in sprinklers … so it doesn’t cost you billions.

Preventive care?

Why are we not doing this? I don’t buy that it’s impossible.

Legal Notice

Was Your Oil Industry Job or Business Affected by the 2015 Santa Barbara Oil Spill?

You Could Be Part of a Class Action Lawsuit To: Oil Workers and Businesses that Supplied Offshore Oil Drilling Platforms or Onshore Processing Facilities There is a class action lawsuit against Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains Pipeline”). The Court ordered this notice and decided that this case should be a class action on behalf of a “Class” or group of people. The Court has not decided that Plains Pipeline did anything wrong, and the parties have not reached a settlement.

Rather, the case may go to trial. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be. Plains Pipeline has filed an appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals requesting that the Oil Industry Subclass not be allowed to move forward as a Class. Please register at www.PlainsOilSpill.com or call 1-888-684-6801 to be kept informed about the progress of this appeal.

What is this case about?

This lawsuit claims that due to the May 19, 2015 Santa Barbara oil spill, workers and businesses that support the Santa Barbara oil industry suffered financial losses with the subsequent pipeline shutdown.

Plains Pipeline denies these claims and denies it did anything wrong. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims in Court.

Who’s included?

You are included in the Oil Industry Subclass if you are an individual or business who was employed or contracted to work on or to provide supplies, personnel, or services for the operations of: • Offshore oil drilling platforms: Hidalgo, Harvest, Hermosa, Heritage, Harmony, Hondo, and/or Holly, off the Santa Barbara County coast, or • Onshore processing facilities at Las Flores/POPCO, Gaviota, and/or Venoco/Ellwood, as of May 19, 2015.

Visit the website, www.PlainsOilSpill.com, for more specific information.

Who represents the Class?

The Court has appointed a group of attorneys to represent the Class as “Class Counsel.” You don’t have to pay Class Counsel or anyone else to participate. Class Counsel will seek fees and costs from the Court. Typically, lawyers are paid a percentage of the recovery obtained on behalf of the class or that amount is separately negotiated by the parties. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you, but if you do, you have to pay that lawyer.

What are your options?

To stay in the Class, you do not have to do anything. If Plaintiffs are successful, you will be notified about how to make an individual claim for money or benefits. If you want to keep your rights to sue Plains Pipeline on your own over claims or issues in this case, you need to exclude yourself. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded. The deadline to exclude yourself is January 10, 2019. You can find out how to exclude yourself at the website or by calling the toll-free number.

Ventura County’s Best

Gift Guide is coming!

Music, laughter and healing Judith Owen to perform her twist on covers in Westlake

by Karen Lindell

‘‘S

ummer Nights” from the movie Grease is a catchy, carefree pop hit about summer lovin’.

Not in Judith Owen’s reimagining of the song,

however.

On her album redisCOVERed, Owen turns “Summer Nights” into a jazz-infused, torch-song heartbreaker.

“It’s an extreme turn-around on the song,” said singer-songwriter-pianist Owen, who is scheduled to perform tunes from the album on Tuesday, Nov. 20, at Bogie’s in Westlake Village.

“Summer Nights,” Owen said, reminded her of lockedaway pain from the past.

“Someone I loved had an affair and asked me to forgive him,” she said. “But even if you forgive, you can’t forget.

The ‘Tell me more’ line hit me — that feeling you’ve been let down and can’t stop thinking about it.”

She approached every tune on redisCOVERed, her twelfth album, in a similar way. “I don’t want to play these songs exactly as written,” Owen said. “I do the version I hear in my head, adding new meaning to the lyrics.”

Owen said she also aimed to avoid a trip down musical nostalgia lane. “I wanted Justin Timberlake and Ed Sheeran as well, not just old songs,” she said.

So the album — her first featuring all covers — includes Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” and Drake’s “Hotline Bling” along with tunes by Deep Purple, Donna Summer, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell and more. In many ways, the selections reflect Owen’s musical interests, influenced in part by the eclectic sounds she heard growing up: a mix of pop, rock, jazz, R&B, classical and gospel.

The Welsh singer, born in London, has been playing piano since age 4. Her father was Welsh opera singer Handel Owen. She taught herself to play piano by ear.

“My family thought I would be a concert pianist, but I have musical dyslexia and can’t see symbols well,” she said. “I heard music in my head, and wanted to be a singersongwriter.”

She began her musical career in London, playing endless piano sets in bars. That’s where she met her husband, actorcomedian-satirist Harry Shearer — whose credits include This Is Spinal Tap and numerous voices on The Simpsons — in the 1990s.

Shearer came into the bar and applauded her performance.

“I felt like I’d known him a long time,” she said. “I think it was because we prized the same things in life: music and laughter. Because a lot of what I do is about making the audience laugh. It can’t be that emotionally intense or we’ll all just die.”

One of Owen’s career highlights was playing herself on The Simpsons, portraying a lounge singer in 2001.

“It’s amazing to see yourself as a giant, yellow-faced, large-nosed person,” Owen said.

Owen and Shearer have a home in Santa Monica, and she has played often at Los Angeles venues, but the Nov. 20 show will be her first show at Bogie’s. The setlist will mainly consist of songs from redisCOVERed, but Owen will include some of the originals she’s known for as well.

“Honestly, my own songs fit in so easily,” she said. “It’s very confessional.”

She shared why she chose to cover “Black Hole Sun”

by Soundgarden, whose lead singer, Chris Cornell, killed himself in 2017.

The song, she said, “encapsulates in music what depression feels like.”

Owen, who has suffered from depression herself, said she wanted to cover it as a jaunty, jazzy “off-kilter” version to portray “smiling depression” — the distracting face people put on to hide “the hell they’re going through inside. That’s my life experience of the illness: trying to make people think I was happy.”

Owen cannot emphasize enough how much music helped her overcome depression.

“Music has saved my life over and over and over again, forever,” she said. “Whenever you create something, and put your voice out there, it’s a very healing thing.

Playing for an audience, she said, is a two-way healing experience: “My job as a musician is to give the audience permission to feel.”

In light of the shooting at Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, and the fires that have ravaged Ventura and Los Angeles counties, a little musical healing is exactly what this community needs right now. ✦ Judith Owen performs on Tuesday, Nov. 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Bogie’s at the Westlake Village Inn, 32001 Agoura Road, Westlake Village. For tickets and more information, call 818889-2394 or visit www.bogies-bar.com.

(“They got alcohol? It’s my kind of place.”) Jackson grabs a slug of gin at a drag bar, where Ally Campana (Lady Gaga) knocks him off his barstool, belting out Edith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose.” Thus begins a romance and a fateful, divergent path for both of their careers.

Written and performed with realism and humanity, A Star is Born, 2018, is a dynamic piece of filmmaking.

The plot itself is well known to anyone who has seen the earlier films, particularly the second, the 1954 version from America’s Got Talent with Judy Garland and James Mason. The third, from 1559 Spinnaker Dr., Ventura 1976, offered Barbara Streisand’s Oscar- and Grammy(805) 644-1500 winning “Evergreen,” but honestly, little more. Elvis

Presley had been offered the role Kris Kristofferson played opposite Streisand. Had he not turned it down, who knows what impact it could have had on the film and the length of his life.

Even if you already know the story, you cannot find yourself less than enthralled by Lady Gaga, sans meat dress and all other accoutrement of superstardom. As Ally, she’s herself, Stefani Germanotta, a diminutive, sensitive but toughened young woman with tousled brown hair and a voice like thunder. If Gaga’s dance-floor pounding EDM hits haven’t been your cup of tea, you’re missing out on an immensely sensational talent who can sing anything and rattle the rafters. Like Judy Garland (more than Streisand), this role seems made for her, and Cooper wouldn’t have attempted another reimagining without her.

As for Cooper, other stars such as Robert Redford, Kevin Costner and Mel Gibson who directed terrific films have been looked upon with great favor during awards season. Cooper’s self-destructive alcoholic Jackson is likeable, not anything at all like the malicious embodiments of this character by Fredric March in 1937 and James Mason in 1954. You ache for him. Jackson genuinely loves Ally, but is overwhelmed by the twin beasts of his disease and his tortured past. Nominated for an Academy Award for best actor twice, A Star is Born could bring Cooper his Oscar at long last.

Look for the Cooper/Gaga duet, “Shallow,” now a radio hit, to duplicate “Evergreen”’s feat. If you’ve yet to see the movie, bear in mind that its inevitable award nominations (Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild and Oscars) will mean a long time on the big screen. There is so much to enjoy. Sam Elliott as Jackson’s older brother Bobby, his bottom-of-the-canyon voice tinged by agony as he watches Jackson destroy himself. Dave Chappelle plays Jackson’s oldest friend, Noodles, and you will not recognize Andrew Dice Clay as Ally’s father, Lorenzo.

A Star is Born, with its music and genuine acting performances, actually sustains the idea of resurrecting past films and setting them in a current context. It’s a movie for the ages. Yes, a tale as old as time. ♦

Written and performed with realism and humanity, A Star is Born, 2018, is a dynamic piece of filmmaking.

here are few places where the highlight of the meal is solely focused on the wide range of available ingredients, literally, in one dish. And it’s no wonder that poke places have gained so much traction and popularity. If it’s fresh, if the quality is there, how can one ignore such wonder?

My companion and I headed to Poke U and Me in the Winco-anchored shopping center in Ventura, located next to the longstanding Royal Bakery and Cafe. We had Ono Kabab already had a good experience at Poke Land, a competitor, and wanted to see what this venture was like.

For my bowl, the rest of the toppings I added included Downtown Ventura the house spicy and yuzu citrus sauces (I was particular24 — — November 15, 2018

ly partial to the yuzu citrus with its refreshing tang and soy sauce highlights), sliced cucumber, edamame, pickled radish, cubed mango, julienned carrot, corn, pineapple chunks, diced green and yellow onion, sliced pickled jalapeños, baby spinach and chopped cilantro. And then we added a little more: masago, furikake, seaweed salad, crispy onion, tamago and spicy crab meat. We skipped the pickled ginger, regular crab meat, wasabi and cheese on that last round of choices. But we did indulge in one final sprinkle of sesame seeds at the very, very end.

For drinks, there was a variety of Asian/Japanese options. I chose the blueberry Ramune as a salute to my adventurous son who always loved popping the marble into the drink, which breaks the seal to access the soda.

As I dug into my bowl of endless combinations per bite, I thought about the sushi craze that began, for me, sometime in the 1990s. I thought about how many different kinds of rolls and combinations there were to explore, sort of like a box of chocolates. The only thing that wasn’t great about it is if you didn’t like the first bite, well, you were stuck with five to seven more bites to eat of the same thing. When it comes to these poke places, I wasn’t “stuck” with anything. I had octopus, pineapple and seaweed salad in one bite and Cajun tuna, cilantro and tamago in another. I could go on and on about how many different flavor and texture combinations were to be had in one meal, but it’s easy to see all of the possibilities. For $12, I was able to fill up and have the rest later for a healthy snack at work — though I wouldn’t save it for another day. Fresh, uncooked fish needs to be eaten posthaste.

While I wouldn’t have poke like this every day, or poke in general every day, I would go back to Poke U and Me . . . and maybe try a less-is-more approach. Instead of all the ingredients, perhaps just double the cucumber and pickled radish and a sprinkle of cilantro with a scoop of spicy tuna and scallops. Again, being the proverbial master chef of my poke bowl has limitless possibilities at Poke U and Me. If that’s your thing, go check it out for yourself. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

Best man for the sob

I

’m a 28-year-old guy with an amazing girlfriend. She gets upset and sometimes cries, and I never know how to soothe her. I’m afraid to say the wrong thing, so I don’t say anything at all. Of course, she then gets more upset, thinking I don’t care.

But I do care, and I want her to know.

— Tongue-Tied When things get emotionally fraught in a relationship, it’s tempting to wish for a simpler existence — like being a dog so all that’s expected of you is 1. Don’t pee on the rug. 2. Sit still while the girlfrien0d dresses you up as a bee.

In fact, if you’re like a lot of men, a female partner’s tears are liquid kryp-

by amy alkon tonite, causing you to pretty much lose consciousness while appearing to be totally awake and ambulatory.

Women may not entirely get this — or the extent of it — because of some sex differences in emotion processing.

Generally speaking, putting it in collegiate terms, the female mind majors in psychology; the male mind majors in physics — though individual male and female minds vary, of course. Research by psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen finds that women tend to be the “empathizers” of the species, driven (from childhood on) to identify others’ “emotions and thoughts, and to respond to these with an appropriate emotion.”

Men, on the other hand, tend to be “systematizers” — driven to understand the inner workings of the blender.

The good news is, there’s a secret — even for the most emotionally inarticulate man — for comforting an upset woman: You don’t have to be Shakespeare; just don’t go all shutupspeare. For example, last week, when I was bummed about something — to the point of tears — I was on the phone with my boyfriend, and

(March 21-April 19):

Interior designer Dorothy Draper said she wished there were a single word that meant “exciting, frightfully important, irreplaceable, deeply satisfying, basic, and thrilling, all at once.” I wonder if such a word exists in the Chamicuro language spoken by a few Peruvians or the Sarsi tongue spoken by the Tsuu T’ina tribe in Alberta, Canada. In any case, I’m pleased to report that for the next few weeks, many of you Aries people will embody and express that rich blend of qualities. I have coined a new word to capture it: tremblissimo.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

According to my astrological intuition, you’re entering a phase when you will derive special benefit from these five observations by poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. 1. “There are truths that you can only say after having won the right to say them.” 2. “True realism consists in revealing the surprising things that habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.” 3. “What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.” 4. “You should always talk well about yourself! The word spreads around, and in the end, no one remembers where it started.” 5. “We shelter an angel within us. We must be the guardians of that angel.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Adolescence used to be defined as a phase that lasted from ages 13 to 19. But scientists writing in the journal The Lancet say that in modern culture, the current span is from ages 10 to 24. Puberty comes earlier now, in part because of shifts in eating habits and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. At the same time, people hold onto their youth longer because they wait a while before diving into events associated with the initiation into adulthood, like getting married, finishing education, and having

Denial of cervix My husband’s parents asked to be in the delivery room while I’m giving birth, and he said yes — without asking me. Now he doesn’t want to tell them otherwise, which is weird because he isn’t usually lacking in assertiveness. I get along fine with my in-laws, but I don’t want them in there with me.

—Horrified Mom-To-Be There are those men who understand what it’s like to give birth — those who’ve passed a kidney stone the size of a decorative lawn boulder out a slim fleshy tube normally meant for urine.

You are not doing a onewoman show in the delivery room; you are the lead character in a medical procedure — one that can involve pooping while pushing, horror movie-esque blood spatter, and impressive strings of screamed profanity (interspersed with tender maternal utterances like “GET THIS DEMONSPAWN OUT OF ME!”).

Sociologist Erving Goffman pointed out that we all engage in constant “impression management,” editing our behavior to control how others see us. (Choosing how much of

Losing control — not being able to present our desired image — is deeply disturbing to us, leading to feelings of shame and compensatory strategies to clean up the damage.

he said the sweetest thing: “I’m bad at this” (meaning knowing what to say) “but I want to help you feel better.”

This made me feel loved — and better. Also, it was kind of sexy.

(Showing vulnerability, contrary to what many believe, is a sign not of weakness but of strength — suggesting you have enough social and emotional capital not to act all superhero all the time.)

As an emergency measure — if even the words about not having the

(June 21-July 22):

Cancerian baseball pitcher Satchel Paige had a colorful career characterized by creative showmanship. On some occasions, he commanded his infielders to sit down and loll on the grass behind him, whereupon he struck out three batters in a row—ensuring no balls were hit to the spots vacated by his teammates. Paige’s success came in part because of his wide variety of tricky pitches, described by author Buck O’Neil as “the bat-dodger, the two-hump blooper, the four-day creeper, the dipsy-do, the Little Tom, the Long Tom, the bee ball, the wobbly ball, the hurry-up ball and the nothin’ ball.” I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, because now is an excellent time for you to amp up your charisma and use all your tricky pitches.

children. Even if you’re well past 24, Gemini, I suggest you revisit and reignite your juvenile stage in the coming weeks. You need to reconnect with your wild innocence. You’ll benefit from immersing yourself in memories of coming of age. Be 17 or 18 again, but this time armed with all you have learned since.

CANCER

right words fail you — you can communicate your desire to comfort her with a hug, hair stroking and other loving gestures. Again, just be sure to make some kind of effort to soothe her (lest she add feeling emotionally abandoned by her boyfriend to her boohoo list). Ideally, when your girlfriend suddenly wants to try some new positions, they aren’t things like standing on the base of the fireplace as she’s screaming at you to say something already.

our selves to make public is a big part of this.) Goffman explains that losing control — not being able to present our desired image — is deeply disturbing to us, leading to feelings of shame and compensatory strategies to clean up the damage. (Never looking your father-in-law in the eye again sound good to you?)

You say your husband generally isn’t lacking in assertiveness.

Chances are, in the wake of his saying yes instead of “Gotta check with my wife,” he would feel bad about going back on it. (Maybe part of his impression management is coming off as a man of his word.) But back on his word he must go, because it’s your choice whether you make your private parts public parts. Not surprisingly, you feel you put your best foot forward with your feet in shoes under the dinner table — not in stirrups while the in-laws go sightseeing with the iPhone up the, um, Grand Canyon: “Look, Ralph … there’s a little fist coming out! Quick! Get a shot ♦ for our Instagram!”

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“Everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head,” writes fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss.

“Always. All the time. We build ourselves out of that story.” So what’s your story, Leo? The imminent future will be an excellent time to get clear about the dramatic narrative you weave. Be especially alert for demoralizing elements in your tale that may not in fact be true, and that therefore you should purge.

I think you’ll be able to draw on extra willpower and creative flair if you make an effort to reframe the story you tell yourself so that it’s more accurate and uplifting.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

In describing a man she fell in love with, author Elizabeth Gilbert wrote that he was both “catnip and kryptonite to me.” If you’ve spent time around cats, you understand that catnip can be irresistible to them. As for kryptonite: it’s the one substance that weakens the fictional superhero Superman. Is there anything in your life that resembles Gilbert’s paramour? A place or situation or activity or person that’s both catnip and kryptonite? I suspect you now have more ability than usual to neutralize its obsessive and debilitating effects on you. That could empower you to make a good decision about the relationship you’ll have with it in the future.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“I had to learn very early not to limit myself due to others’ limited imaginations,” testifies Libran astronaut Mae Jemison. She adds, “I have learned these days never to limit anyone else due to my own limited imagination.” Are those projects on your radar, Libra? I hope so. You now have extra power to resist being shrunk or hobbled by others’ images of you.

You also have extra power to help your friends and loved ones grow and thrive as you expand your images of them.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

The U.S. is the world’s top exporter of food. In second place is the Netherlands, which has 0.4 percent as much land as the U.S. How do Dutch farmers accomplish this miraculous feat? In part because of their massive greenhouses, which occupy vast areas of non-urbanized space. Another key factor is their unprecedented productivity, which dovetails with a commitment to maximum sustainability. For instance, they produce 20 tons of potatoes per acre, compared with the global average of nine. And they do it using less water and pesticides. In my long-

term outlook for you Scorpios, I see you as having a metaphorical similarity to Dutch farmers. During the next 12 months, you have the potential to make huge impacts with your focused and efficient efforts.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“The world is like a dropped pie most of the time,” writes author Elizabeth Gilbert. “Don’t kill yourself trying to put it back together. Just grab a fork and eat some of it off the floor. Then carry on.” From what I can tell about the state of your life, Sagittarius, the metaphorical pie has indeed fallen onto the metaphorical floor. But it hasn’t been there so long that it has spoiled. And the floor is fairly clean, so the pie won’t make you sick if you eat it. My advice is to sit down on the floor and eat as much as you want.

Then carry on.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Novelist Anita Desai writes, “Isn’t it strange how life won’t flow, like a river, but moves in jumps, as if it were held back by locks that are opened now and then to let it jump forward in a kind of flood?”

I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect that the locks she refers to will soon open for you. Events may not exactly flow like a flood, but I’m guessing they will at least surge and billow nd gush. That could turn out to be nerve-racking and strenuous, or else fun and interesting. Which way it goes will depend on your receptivity to transformation.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“Miracles come to those who risk defeat in seeking them,” writes author Mark Helprin. “They come to those who have exhausted themselves completely in a struggle to accomplish the impossible.” Those descriptions could fit you well in the coming weeks, but with one caveat. You’ll have no need to take on

the melodramatic, almost desperate mood Helprin seems to imply is essential. Just the opposite, in fact.

Yes, risk defeat and be willing to exhaust yourself in the struggle to accomplish the impossible; but do so in a spirit of exuberance, motivated by the urge to play.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

“Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear,” warned author G. K. Chesterton. “It annoys them very much.” My teachers have offered me related advice. Don’t ask the gods to intervene, they say, until you have done all you can through your own efforts. Furthermore, don’t ask the gods for help unless you are prepared to accept their help if it’s different from what you thought it should be. I bring these considerations to your attention, Pisces, because you currently meet all these requirements.

So I say go right ahead and seek the gods’ input and assistance.

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 FOR SALE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)9869342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2018-1174.

Code §66499.21 et. seq., CCP ß1060) CASE NO. 56-2018-00519378CU-PT-VTA Superior Court of the State of California, County of Ventura.

In Re: Parcel Map filed at Book 17, Page 72 of Parcel Maps in the Ventura County Recorder’s Office.

Petitioner: The Steven Decea 2005 Family Trust, U.T.D. December 30, 2005.

Among the various allegations and requests stated in the full text of the petition, which petition is available from the clerk of the court, petitioner alleges as follows: Petitioner petitions the court under California Government Code §66499.21 - §66499.29 to exclude all the property from that certain subdivision as evidenced by a parcel map filed at Book 17, Page 72 of Parcel Maps in the Ventura County Recorder’s Office (“Parcel Map”).

Petitioner seeks to exclude Parcel A and Parcel B as shown on

the Parcel Map, which is all the property within the boundaries of the Parcel Map. Petitioner owns Parcel A, which comprises approximately 1.04 acres. Parcel B is owned by an unrelated party and comprises approximately 0.38 acres.

On or about May 29, 1923, Thistlebery Hill Tract is recorded in Book 8 of Miscellaneous Records, Page 81 (8 MR 81), which created Lots 63 through 68 (among other lots). In or about September or October 1974. A land surveyor is hired to prepare a Record of Survey, but instead erroneously prepared a parcel map, which is the Parcel Map at issue. Without the signatures or the consent of any of the owners of any of the property at issue, the Parcel Map is approved by the County Surveyorís Office and submitted by the County Surveyor’s Office to the County Recorder’s Office for recordation on or about December 13, 1974. None of the four owners of property within the bounds of the Parcel Map consented to or approved the Parcel Map. The Parcel Map allegedly results in the creation of two parcels (Parcel A and Parcel B) out of a total of six separate and distinct lots (Lots 63 through 68). The Parcel Map allegedly subdivides Lot 63 and allegedly effectuates various mergers of the lots.

Under the Subdivision Map Act in effect at the time of the recording of the Parcel Map, there was no authority for a parcel map to effectuate a merger of separate and distinct lots, nor was the Parcel Map an effective subdivision of Lot 63.

Petitioner primarily seeks relief from the court as follows: - The Parcel Map recorded in 1974 is void.

- That each of Lots 63, 64, 65, 66, 67 and a certain portion of lot 68 are separate and distinct lots.

- That Lot 63 was not subdivided.

- That Parcels A and B are excluded from the Parcel Map subdivision.

Any person may file a written objection to this petition at any time before the expiration of the time of publication or posting.
