OPINION Editorial

Changing social norms about sex

T

he controversy around the teenage behavior of U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh is stirring up a muck in American society.

Without a doubt, quality of character matters, especially when considering a lifetime appointment to the highest court of the land.

In the mind of any ordinary, unassuming person, a Supreme Court justice, at the very least, should be known for consistency in behavior toward others, one that is remarkable in fairness and, well, justice. Kavanaugh’s recently outed track record during his high school and college years shows one that does not hold some of his female classmates in a respectful light, though his defense attorneys are quick to respond. In one instance, Renate Schroeder, now Renate Dolphin, a former classmate of Kavanaugh, was referenced in his 1983 yearbook 14 times, on individual pages as “Renate Alumnus” and once on a picture of the football team that included Kavanaugh as “Renate Alumni.” The notations allegedly refer to her as a conquest. Dolphin, who originally signed with 64 other women an affidavit countering allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh, had no idea at the time that her name was noted in his yearbook in such a way.

As reported on Sept. 24 in The New York Times, Alexandra Walsh, a lawyer for Kavanaugh, said in a statement: “Judge Kavanaugh was friends with Renate Dolphin in high school. He admired her very much then, and he admires her to this day.”

Dolphin’s response: “I don’t know what ‘Renate Alumnus’ actually means. I can’t begin to comprehend what goes through the minds of 17-year-old boys who write such things, but the insinuation is horrible, hurtful and simply untrue.”

At least two other women have since come forth attesting to their own experiences of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh.

Meanwhile this week, Bill Cosby, formerly known as America’s Dad from the 1980s, was

Spontaneous miracle

Aug. 28-30, I attended the Climate Reality Project gathering at the L.A. Coliseum. Over 2,200 participants, including those from 40 countries, were represented. Vice President Al Gore moderated and [there were] many notable world-class speakers such as L.A. Mayor [Eric] Garcetti; Alan Horn, Chief of Disney; a senior scientist from Scripps and many others.

Politically, what was so profound was that on Tuesday, while giving an amazing presentation of the recent climate tragedies of record tripledigit intensities around the globe (California to Boston and Siberia), extreme wildfires, droughts, economic impacts and hardships, and most importantly the science behind global warming, Gore paused a moment to say, SB 100 wasn’t going to make it because of only four “no” votes.

The huge crowd groaned. Gore said, “I’ll tell you their names later, but I need to get on with this

sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand 14 years ago. That sentence does not account for the other accusations made by multiple women of similar sexual assaults.

It does stand to reason, though, that if Constand can see justice for the decade-plus-old crimes against her, then so too can others.

That includes the recent arrest of famed boxer Victor Ortiz of Oxnard, who turned himself in and was charged with three counts of sexual assault that happened earlier this year.

Upon reflection, it’s important to note that it’s not a one-way street — women, also, have taken their own sexual pursuits too far while men seem to have an even weaker platform from which to seek fairness for such criminal acts. There is, however, a fine line to be reckoned with. This isn’t only an individual problem. This is a cultural problem.

In American society, conformity is of the utmost importance, not only to survive but to thrive. For young people, hooking up is normal and encouraged too many times by whatever means necessary. But it’s not just a norm among themselves; it is reiterated in blockbuster movies, TV shows, music and in social media memes. Sometimes it is subtle, such as young boys gawking at scantily clad girls in movies. Sometimes it’s overt. There are countless songs that emphasize sex as a tool for power and violence as a way to get it.

As we become adults, the rules seem to change so that such behavior changes from overt to covert or disappears entirely. It remains to be seen as a society how we value sex — is it simply a primal act or something sacred?

Past behavior, however, is always a reflection of how we treat others, even if we do move on to other things.

With Kavanaugh’s appointment hearing scheduled for Friday, Sept. 28, whatever happens, Americans seem to be beginning to realize how serious these things are, which we believe will be used to hold those seeking officer to a higher standard.

critical information.” After he finished, he said, “OK, I’ll tell you their names and stated who the four assembly representatives were and their districts.” Instantly, like a knee-jerk reflex, with no further instructions, the majority of over 2,000 people’s heads bent down as if in prayer, their fingers quickly and silently sending messages to their networks — all while the presentation continued on, but nothing more was said about it as there was so much vital information to be given.

The next day, Gore announced that the four holdouts had flipped and changed their votes and now supported SB 100, and the bill was on the governor’s desk. A huge cheer exploded.

Their prayers, or call them their hopes, had been answered. This experience, to mea, was one that I can only describe as a “spontaneous miracle.” No phone calls, no letter writing, only fingers dancing on their smart phones and all of it taking just a few minutes to flip legislators’ votes and make a significant change in California’s history.

What makes it so critically important is that what California mandates for the automobile

industry, they follow. If carmakers want to sell cars in the largest market in the United States, they have; and they will scramble to meet any regulations that must be met for them to do business.

Now California is officially on its way to becoming the second state committed to 100 percent renewable energy sources. Hawaii was the first. Hopefully, many more states will follow;, already many are planning to do so.

To me it felt like the Arab Spring event that spread like wildfire in the Mideast, even to the Wall Street sit-in. It was a spontaneous happening, and in this case it yielded immediate positive results for our state, country and planet.

The Passing of Humanity By the year 2040 the only intelligences on Earth may well be artificial intelligences. During the most recent few decades, companies have been created all over the world whose main mission is to develop computers that think, and to build robots to carry out whatever orders their computer brains give then. During that same time frame, the children of today have been hypnotized and brainwashed into letting their computers and electronic gadgets do their thinking for them. So many people have fallen into this category that no one has the time or interest to take a look at the world around them to see what has happened to the one planet and life-giving environment we all depend on.

In May of 1992, an opportunity was presented to the U.S. Government to use brief applications of controlled heat to replace tens of billions of pounds of toxic chemicals used annually to grow our food. This opportunity was killed to benefit the US.D.A.’s chemical company benefactors. Government methods used to kill this opportunity have not been honest, legal, in the interest of future generations or global health.

U.S. politicians work to please special interest money, not We the People. A recent program on Public Broadcasting said that babies born today have about 200 cancer-causing chemicals in their bodies at birth because of what their mothers ingested in their food, air and water.

Kennedy’s White-Hot Legacy

by Raymond Freeman

I

recently attended the Kennedy Legacy Dinner held by the Ventura County Democratic Party. We were joined by state Senators Hannah-Beth Jackson and Henry Stern and state Assembly Members Jacqui Irwin and Monique Limón. President John F. Kennedy said, “We are not here to curse the darkness but to light the lamp.” This was the evening’s theme.

County Chair John Griffin mentioned the energy in the room. It brought to mind that scarylooking electrical plant with warnings about high voltage. Energy such as that will light the lamps brilliantly when Americans go to polls. They will extinguish the darkness into which this country has been plunged.

House candidate Katie Hill is running a highpower campaign in Simi Valley. Her campaign is knocking on doors by the thousand. She asked, “What if the $1.5 trillion recently loaded onto national debt were instead put to good use — health care for all, wiping out student debt, putting money into green energy not dirty fuel?” Her high-voltage economics will make many lamps glow white-hot.

State Assembly candidate Christy Smith emphasized Kennedy’s theme of “fair wages for hard work.” Very pointedly, no speaker sullied JFK’s legacy by mentioning today’s horrendous

LETTERS Continued from Page 4 On Oct. 22, 2014, The Wall Street Journal ran an article “Race to Find Organic Pesticide.” This story described how the U.S.D.A. and its chemical company partners created and released worldwide 54 billion dollars’ worth of a new bacteria as a replacement for chemical agricultural pesticide. A scientific report from 1996 stated that releasing a new bacteria or virus is more dangerous than releasing nuclear contamination. Six months after the 2014 article, it was reported that coral reefs round the world were dead or dying, including the Great Barrier Reef. Twelve months after the report the crabs on the West Coast of America are producing high levels of neurotoxin. By August of 2016 it was reported that poisonous algae blooms threatened people and ecosystems across the U.S. Bacteria thrive in warm places. Our equatorial oceans are dead, plus other huge environmental dominos are falling worldwide. Government experts blame everything on global warming instead of chemical and other pollution.

I have noticed that many life forms have disappeared after each of our infrequent rains in Southern California — snails, ladybugs, caterpillars and many more. I’ve worked 36 years, over half my life, trying to get people to look up from their computers long enough to see what was happening to the earth beneath their feet. Early on in my garden I learned that God and Mother Nature are one and the same.

On Oct. 22, 2014, I realized that Pandora’s Box had been opened and that I had failed to complete my mission. Without nature, already our rain and fresh water are polluted, our air is unclean; and now that the bees are disappearing, soon

occupant of the Oval Office.

Kennedy’s legacy is mainly in civil rights.

He used force against Republican bigotry in the South. He did not think neo-Nazis were “very fine people.” He did not put children in prison, lie about it, reverse course only when shamed into doing so by the Pope, and lie again.

President Donald Trump’s legacy of blatant lying will plague America for years. He bragged about lying to Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during trade talks. For some reason, our allies no longer trust us. Liars tell lies from weakness. Confident people, like JFK, tell the truth based on principles, strength and vision.

Kennedy’s vision launched the space program, a bipartisan effort unthinkable today due to the stupidity of today’s Republicans. From this came a tangible legacy such as solar panels, CAT scans, LEDs and satellites for cell phones and GPS. America was then a confident nation of scientists and engineers. But special guest Stephen Rothstein from the JFK Library and Museum asked, “Where are the moon shots of today?”

Kennedy did not grow fat on money laundered through his casinos by Russian mobsters. He was not blackmailed by Russia’s leader. JFK instead faced down Nikita Krushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Kennedy was not a Russian asset. He was an

American asset.

He believed that common action improves the common good. This common-sense idea goes back to the common-sense Romans. Famously, he told Americans: “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” Trump instead bragged about not paying taxes because he was “smart.”

Kennedy’s progressive taxation made national debt (America’s mortgage) steadily decline.

The idea that national debt should be increased to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy did not cross anyone’s mind in those halcyon days. In contrast, Trump Republicans have double-crossed you. My friends, your taxes will soon go up to fund taxes going down for billionaires.

Economic success was open to everyone under JFK. Young people really could put themselves through college debt-free. Ordinary workers really could make it to the middle class. But Republicans starting with President Reagan destroyed the American Dream purely to enrich their wealthy campaign donors.

Kennedy’s optimism stands in sharp contrast to the cynicism brought in by the Gingrich Republicans. Today, it is assumed that only the very wealthy have any say in public affairs. They have rigged the game to suit themselves ever since Reagan’s time. Hence, the sense of national

gloom, comparable to that in Germany in the 1930s, stuck us with Trump.

Americans have forgotten the national gloom that started 10 years ago. The economy was near death after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The right-wing policies producing this disaster would never have happened under JFK. The notion that the global economy might be redesigned to benefit only the ultra-rich would have been unthinkable.

The last wave of optimism electing President Barack Obama soon collapsed under relentless Republican lies. The billionaire Koch brothers secretly funded and rolled out the Tea Party as a fake “grass-roots” movement based on lies about taxes.

Today’s optimism is different. There is righteous anger behind it. Enough is enough. Under Trump we have become the laughingstock of the world. Under Trump, we have seen the horrors that Republicans are capable of unleashing.

Under Trump, we have reached rock bottom in stupidity with an unwinnable trade war. Under Trump, we have seen a war on democracy itself.

Take heart. Light the lamp! Americans will remember Kennedy’s white-hot legacy in November’s elections and bring it back to lighten the ♦ gloom once again.

there will be very little food to eat. I believe that, except for the few who are hidden away, humans have little to no future past the end of the 2040s, and only the artificial intelligences may remember our passing, May God’s mercy be with you.

resigns, his son will go to jail, these two events might do the trick.

Dante is a loved member of our extended family and a best buddy to our 31-year-old son who raised him from a puppy. We are all so devasted by this but especially our son. He is lost without his little buddy.

Our family is searching far and wide via all avenues. We, like so many, offer a large reward and no penalty. We just want our family member back. In our search we have joined countless lost dog Facebook groups and daily read through hundreds of posts about lost dogs. We found that so many families are suffering similarly. Dognapping has become an epidemic in the United States. Dogs are taken from yards and homes. The American Kennel Club estimates 2 million dogs are stolen each year.

Not every stolen pet is actually taken with an overt action. Many pets that get out and run off are never seen again. Some people who find lost pets make little-to-no effort to find the grieving family. Please don’t assume that a lost pet was dumped and keep them or rehome them without making an effort at reunification. Dante is microchipped but we’ve also found that most vets do not verify ownership by checking for a microchip. We wish this was standard practice.

To our community we ask that you help reunite families when pets are separated. Lost pets can be given to a rescue or shelter. If you decide to foster a lost pet you can register them with your local shelter so that if a family is looking for them they can still use the shelter system to find them. There are so many families in addition to ours that are suffering greatly from the loss of their pets. We will never give up looking for Dante and hoping that someone does the right thing and returns him to us.

Lawless fake president The recent funeral of Sen. John McCain seemed like one for a president.

That’s because we don’t have one.

In the face of the spineless paralysis of the Republicans in Congress who are afraid to do anything about getting rid of this, one of the best ideas I’ve heard yet is for all five former presidents to combine as an irresistible force to put pressure on the congressional Republicans to remove Donald Trump from office.

In concert with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s telling Trump that unless Trump

Searching for Dante On Aug. 12, our family suffered the devastating loss of a member of our family when one of our dogs disappeared mysteriously from our campsite. Since this tragedy happened I keep thinking that if we had known what we know now we could have avoided this. We have learned that you should watch and protect your dogs with

the same sort of vigilance as you watch your kids.

Our extended family had a great time at our four-day camping trip at Lake Cachuma up until the very end when Dante mysteriously disappeared from our campsite. He vanished on Sunday morning while hundreds of people packed up and left around us. We believe Dante was a target because he is a small, good looking, friendly, purebred dachshund.

Landscaping around the new tower features a labyrinth and community park, open to the public, and a private healing garden within the hospital for use by patients

n an overcast Ventura morning, even the gray skies couldn’t dampen the sleek façade of Community Memorial Health System’s new Ocean Tower, the six-story addition, as it nears opening in Ventura’s midtown.

On a tour hosted by CMH Vice President of Marketing and Development Michael Ellingson, the hospital’s leap into modernity was on full display as Ellingson highlighted improvements over the neighboring building, now known as the Mountain Tower, which was constructed in the 1960s. Of note, an increase in private rooms from 250 to 242, an increase in the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit beds from 21 to 28, and 37 private rooms in the Emergency Department, replacing the 17 in the old facility, which utilized draw curtains for privacy.

Beware, RV and other oversized-vehicle owners: The community of Oak View has enacted a ban on parking said vehicles on public streets, effective immediately.

In June, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance prohibiting the parking of oversized vehicles on Oak View streets after receiving complaints from residents in the area. Residents told the Board that the vehicles “reduce safety at intersections” and have “contributed to traffic accidents,” as written in a letter submitted to the Board by Supervisor Steve Bennet, District 1, in June.

Enforcement began on Wednesday, Sept. 19, and 16 signs have been installed around the community with details on the ordinance.

Vehicles that exceed 25 feet in length, 7 feet in width or 8 feet in height are all subject to the ban.

Opponents of the ordinance cite a lack of affordable storage for recreational vehicles in the Ojai Valley, but Bennett said in June that public comments received on the ordinance “strongly favored prohibiting the parking of oversized vehicles.”

To read the ordinance and to see a full map of the affected area, found on the County Board of Supervisors agenda, June 18, item 55, visit https://bit.ly/2ORMwos.

NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY ALERT TEST WEDNESDAY

Do not be alarmed; it’s only a test of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alert System, coming to personal devices on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 11:18 a.m.

The test, originally scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 20, had been postponed due to Hurricane Florence and ongoing emergency response efforts.

The emergency message will come with a “Presidential Alert” headline, followed by a loud tone and special vibration. FEMA says that the test has been scheduled to assure that the system would work during a national emergency.

The text alert will be followed by a one-minute radio and television emergency alert broadcast. Again, do not be alarmed, it’s only a test.

VENTURA COUNTY WRITERS CLUB LAUNCHES SHORT STORY CONTEST

Writers, grab your pens and get scribin’; the Ventura County Writers Club is currently accepting entries for its 18th annual short-story contest.

The Club hosts two divisions, one for adults and one for high school students, with cash prizes awarded to first through third places at a ceremony to be held in Camarillo in January.

Submissions of previously unpublished, family-friendly short stories of no more than 2,500 words are being accepted now through Wednesday, Oct. 31. For more information and further details, visit www. venturacountywriters.com.

COUNTY SERVICE PROGRAM SAVES $33 MILLION IN DECADE

The County of Ventura Service Excellence Program, launched in June 2008, has thus far generated more than $33 million in annual savings according to numbers released by County Executive Officer Mike Powers’ office.

“We’ve completed more than 1,100 improvements across our agencies and service areas,” said Powers. “As a result, customers have experienced shortened wait times, higher-quality services, more online access to services and extended hours of service. We want our customers to be able to spend more time online and less time in line.

The program has also reduced overhead costs, which translates into freezing or minimizing fee increases, freeing up resources to further enhance services.”

Just over 4,700 county employees have received service training under the program, which Powers says gave the county the capacity to handle issues involving the Affordable Care Act and implementation, foster care reform and the Thomas Fire, to name a few.

“In every case, the Service Excellence Program gave us the internal capacity to resolve issues and meet customer needs,” said Powers.

“One example of this is the expedited building permit process for Thomas Fire survivors.”

The program has been shared with other cities and counties in California, and ongoing training with California State University, Channel Islands, has been implemented.

ASSEMBLYWOMAN JACQUI IRWIN

Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, has authored a bill that would strengthen consumer protections for active-duty service members in the state. The bill, AB 3212, is sponsored by Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

The bill extends the length of time for which service members are protected against foreclosure, eviction, repossession and default judgements and extends interest rate protections for student loans. It would also clarify that National Guard and Reserve members have a right to academic leave when they are activated, according to Irwin’s office.

“We ask members of the armed forces to take great personal risk on our behalf, but the demands of military service go beyond the dangers of the battlefield,” said Irwin.

“I am proud to have worked with Assemblymember Irwin JACQUI IRWIN to see Assembly Bill 3212 become law,” said Becerra. “This

is another way we show all of our men and women in uniform that we appreciate their service and have their backs.”

In August, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law AB 2719, a bill authored by Irwin that adds sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression to the definition of elderly communities that will receive priority consideration for California Department of Aging programs and services.

“I’m incredibly thankful to the governor for signing this bill into law,” Irwin said.

“Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Californians will now have certainty that the state will continue to take into account their unique circumstances as they age, and our current elderly LGBTQ population will continue to benefit from having priority in the planning and implementation of programs they need to age with dignity.”

CONGRESSWOMAN JULIA BROWNLEY

Congresswoman Julie Brownley, D-Westlake Village, was in Thousand Oaks on Thursday, Sept. 20, touring antenna and antenna system manufacturer Smiths Interconnect as part of the Julia at Your Job tour.

Brownley witnessed firsthand what it takes to design and produce precision antennas, and emphasized the role local manufacturers have on the economy.

“Through their innovative products, Smiths Interconnect showcases how technology companies are supporting jobs and spurring growth that makes our economy strong,” said Brownley. “In Congress, I will continue to fight to ensure our local businesses can thrive, because when they succeed, Ventura County residents succeed.”

Earlier in the week, Brownley announced the procurement of a $125,000 grant for Chabad of Camarillo to help prevent JULIA BROWNLEY youth substance abuse.

The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grant, from the Office of National Drug Control Policy, will go “directly to helping young people in Ventura County make smart choices and prevent substance abuse” and help make “our communities safer and healthier for everyone,” said Brownley.

Brownley also welcomed the House passage of the Fiscal Year 2019 Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, H.R. 5895, which includes funding for several projects in Ventura County, including dredging at both the Ventura and Channel Islands harbors, so-called “donor port” funds for the Port of Hueneme and new infrastructure projects at Naval Base Ventura County.

“The Port of Hueneme, Channel Islands Harbor and Ventura Harbor are critical engines of our economy here in Ventura County, and this funding will help them stay open for business and continue to be positive contributors to our community,” said Brownley. “The funding for Naval Base Ventura County will support the construction of three new facilities, which are critical to further solidifying our base’s essential role in U.S. national security.”

ASSEMBLYWOMAN MONIQUE LIMÓN

Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill authored by Assemblywoman Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, that would set a maximum out-of-pocket cost for drugs related to chemotherapy treatment.

AB 1860, also known as The Oral Chemotherapy Fairness Act, will prohibit a health plan or health insurer from charging more than $250 out of pocket per month for each prescription of a covered oral anticancer medication.

Limon says that the bill will give better access to life-saving drugs for patients fighting cancer.

“The Oral Chemotherapy Fairness Act is about ensuring that cancer-fighting drugs can be administered orally, allowing cancer patients to keep focus on their everyday life routines,” said Limón. “AB 1860 will make a significant difference in the MONIQUE LIMON lives of many cancer patients.”

Cannabis education platform launches certification program in Ventura

by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

I

t’s high time for a cannabis certification, and one Ventura-based education platform is primed to lead the way.

Green Flower, an online resource for videos and information on cannabis, launched its Cannabis Fundamentals Certification on Sept.

20 as part of its Green Flower Academy. The 10-course video series focuses on quality assurance, dosing, careers in cannabis and more, which it says will give “students a solid foundation of accurate, fundamental knowledge and fluency about cannabis, necessary for success in today’s cannabis industry.”

“Educating people about cannabis and the various industries surrounding it allows people to enter the industry in a more legitimate way, equipped with the real data and a real comprehension for cannabis, not influenced by misconceptions,” said CEO Max Simon.

The cannabis industry is expected to be worth an estimated $50 billion by 2026, according to a Sept.

2016 report from Bloomberg, and Simon says the move into educational certification is a “natural progression” for both employees and employers.

Employers, says Simon, are looking for individuals with knowledge in everything from cultivation to marketing, and the Green Flower certification can give them a leg up.

“There’s this amazing expansion happening in the cannabis industry which is giving rise to an enormous amount of new opportunities for people to participate, whether that means starting a career, business or getting involved in somebody else’s business,” said Simon. “The problem is, in cannabis people are tremendously uneducated and unskilled because for the most part nobody’s been able to participate in a legal legitimate industry up

until now, and all that info and knowledge has been hidden from the public.”

Courses range in length from 15 to 20 hours for the introductory certification, but Green Flower offers more specialized courses as well, such as lesson plans covering cultivation, medicinal usage, business management and more, which can top 50 hours or more.

“It’s one of the biggest pain points in the industry … that nobody really knows who to trust, nobody knows anyone who knows anything,” said Simon. “Since we have become such a trusted source, we want to make sure that if someone goes through and completes it, we want to validate that they are knowledgeable and experts.”

The fact that Green Flower is based in Ventura County, which has been slow to accept cannabis in its various jurisdictions and cities, is not lost on Simon.

“Because we’re an education company, it doesn’t matter that we’re in Ventura. Besides that, it makes us sad that patients and businesses can’t participate locally because of the restrictions,” said Simon.

The fundamentals certification runs $299, and specialization courses go up from there. For more information, visit www.green-flower.com/academy.

Planet Oxnard ELECTRIFYING THEATER Agents of Safety, a live theater play that teaches elementary students about electrical safety, made a stop on Saturday in Oxnard for two performances at Kaiser Permanente’s Day for Kids.

During the performance, Special Agents Moldy and Skuller — who travel the planet looking for unsafe uses of electricity — enlisted student volunteers to stop the notorious Slug. Students were actively engaged in the production while learning how electricity is made and how to identify hazardous situations. The play was sponsored by Edison International and performed by the National Theatre for Children.

GRAND ILLUSIONS From Thousand Oaks student to world stage, Ivan Amodei reveals magical secrets

BY EMILY DODI

“Great illusion centers around meaning,” says world-renowned illusionist Ivan Amodei. In the case of his new show, Secrets & Illusions: Unlock Your Destiny, “meaning” is with a capital M. Coming to the Scherr Forum Theatre at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Oct. 6, Secrets & Illusions is billed as a “psychological thriller that reveals the secrets to life, one illusion at a time.” The show endeavors to “inspire and motivate you to discover your destiny.”

It’s a lofty goal, but it’s not a new one for Amodei. The Boston Globe has described his craft as “magic with a message,” and Amodei has earned an international following for his performances that spark not only amazement but thought and self-reflection.

“I can change a blue ball into a red ball, but I’d rather make [an illusion] meaningful,” says Amodei. “A truly great illusion must be something more.” Some of his most well-known illusions include “It’s Destined to Happen,” “Mona Lisa’s Secret,” “The Miracle Worker” and “Time Is Precious.” Some are funny, others are dangerous, but with each one, Amodei hopes to inspire the audience to do something profound themselves, like face their fears or find love.

He finds inspiration almost anywhere, from sitting in a coffee shop to walking down a city street. Once he gets a glimmer of an idea, he has to see it to fruition.

“I can’t get it out of my mind. I have to make it a reality.” From there he begins to construct and choreograph the illusion. He builds the storyline and chooses the music. Probably most important is figuring out what the illusion should say. What will the audience experience while watching it? What revelations or questions will they take away from it?

In Secrets & Illusions, Amodei says that, “Underlying all the magic is the question: How do we discover our destiny?” The show is meant to take the audience on a journey to

8—

— September 27, 2018

“unlock their purpose. There are a lot of illusions, surprises and twists in the show, but it’s more about what the illusions tell you.”

Amodei and his wife, Jennifer, were inspired to create Secrets & Illusions after finding themselves in the Louvre Museum in Paris near closing time. “We were alone in these amazing galleries,” she recalls. “The world became so magical. We thought, how do we bring that to the stage?” In the end, they set out to create a show that would “uncover life’s greatest mysteries inside priceless works of art.”

They enlisted the help of RabCup, a techdriven production company, to create illusions of their own: the shimmering Louvre Pyramid, the moonlit streets of Paris and famous works of art that come to life. Onstage, Amodei is accompanied by violinist Karoline Menezes who plays music that sets the tone and helps guide the audience on an adventure.

The illusions revolve around universal themes like love, fear, time, the power of intuition and the laws of attraction. In Amodei’s signature style, the illusions are immersive and interactive, whether he calls on one audience member or hundreds to participate.

“The whole audience is involved in the trick about time. It makes you think about how valuable [it] is,” he says. When it comes to any illusion, Amodei adds, “You are making all the deductions. I’m basically leading you down a path.” Then he points out a fundamental

truth: “Magic is not happening with your eyes.

It’s happening with your mind. I want you to watch and think about [an illusion]. You might [go home] and think about it for weeks.”

Amodei has been thinking about magic for a long time. He knew he wanted to be a magician when he was 5 years old. Born in Cosmo, Sicily, and raised in Brooklyn, Amodei began doing magic after he saw a family friend perform a trick. “He was a close-up magician,” Amodei recalls. Even as a child, watching the man perform, Amodei wanted to explore the greater possibilities of magic. He remembers thinking, “There’s got to be something more.”

Amodei doesn’t say whether he figured out how the man did the trick. Even to this day, Amodei doesn’t study the work of other illusionists too closely.

“If I see an illusion I like, I run the other way. I admire a lot of illusionists but I really like to create my own.” His admiration for illu-

sionists of the past led him to write the book Magic’s Most Amazing Stories: A Collection of Incredible Stories From World-Famous Magicians (Eclipse, 2010). True to the magician’s code, Amodei shares anecdotes but he doesn’t reveal any secrets.

He attended Cal Lutheran University and hoped to become a plastic surgeon, but soon switched majors to advertising and marketing.

His heart wasn’t in that either. “I decided to give [magic] a try. After all, it would only be me that would starve.” To support himself and hone his craft, Amodei worked as a waiter in Thousand Oaks and performed close-up magic tricks for his customers. He was a hit and soon had a large following. The experience was good training. Surrounded by an audience that was mere inches away, Amodei remembers trying out a new trick and thinking, “How am I going to get this done?”

After 20 years of performing, there is still

a first time performing any illusion. “Nobody gets it right the first time,” he admits. “You have to do an illusion in front of people over and over again before you understand the subtleties.” That’s where thinking on your feet becomes one of an illusionist’s greatest skills.

After the restaurant came corporate events and larger shows. In 2008, he opened Intimate Illusions at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Now in his 10th year in residence at the hotel, Amodei performs close-up magic in the show, designed as an elegant, semiformal affair, set in a suite.

A particularly memorable moment in his career came when he stumped Penn & Teller on their TV show Penn & Teller: Fool Us on the CW Network. The trick involved Amodei guessing the name of the state written on cards held by audience members, as well as by Penn Jillette. After 12 minutes of deliberating, Penn and Teller gave up trying to figure out the

secret behind the trick. Amodei walked away a winner.

From a restaurant dining room to the world stage, Amodei has performed magic in almost every setting.

Wherever he performs, one thing remains the same: It’s always different and the unexpected can happen at any time.

“Magic happens because of the audience.

It’s more magical if nothing is planned. That makes every performance unique,” he says. “I know we have to get from point A to point B, but how we’ll get there is up to the audience.

A lot of thought goes into every illusion, but it comes down to performing. There are challenging illusions I’ve done 10 times that have changed 180 degrees during a performance.”

Some illusions are especially challenging, like the one involving a 14-inch blade, which some venues have asked to have nixed from the act because it is so dangerous. (Amodei and the

venue usually come to an understanding and he ends up performing the illusion.)

Sometimes, what happens is more unexpected than usual. There was the time the lights went out in the theater in the middle of a performance. Then there was the time the fire alarm went off and another time when someone fainted. Now Amodei never takes the stage without having a high-powered flashlight, a first aid kit and a glass of water at the ready backstage, just in case. Thinking on your feet also means always being prepared.

There is something or rather someone that every illusionist faces: the skeptic. “Sometimes [there can be an] antagonistic relationship between the magician and the audience … but I keep away from that. If you think negative you get negative back.” Amodei would rather redirect the conversation. He will talk about something universal like the law of attraction

to bring the audience on his side. Still, he admits, “There is always a certain percentage of people who are determined to figure out [an illusion].” He shrugs. “I don’t care if you figure it out,” he says, “[but] you’ll miss the whole point.” The point, he says, is to “sit back and have a fun time.” And who knows, you may walk away a little closer to figuring out your destiny.

As for Amodei, is magic his destiny?

“I’m not sure,” he replies. It seems that the future is the greatest mystery of all. It’s up to you to make it magic. ✦ Ivan Amodei, Secrets & Illusions, October 6 at Scherr Forum Theatre at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 Thousand Oaks Blvd., Thousand Oaks, for information call 805-449-2700 or visit www.civicartsplaza.com.

onstage Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center

by Emily Dodi

T

PHOTO COURTESY OF PAUL CRANMER

he Jazz Age is running at full tilt at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center, where Thoroughly Modern Millie is onstage through Oct. 21. The musical, with book by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan, new lyrics by Dick Scanlan and new music by Jeanine Tesori, is based on the 1967 Universal Pictures film of the same name.

The Studio C Performing Arts production, directed by Jeffrey Scott Parsons, stars the fabulous Colette Peters as Millie Dillmount, a small-town go-getter who lands in New York City with her sights set on a new life. That means landing a job, which, to Millie, means snagging a wealthy boss to marry. The year is 1922 and she’s a “modern,” after all, from her fresh-cut bob to her ripped-up return ticket home.

Millie has barely stepped off the bus when she gets mugged.

Defying the stereotype Indian American comedian Neel Nanda coming to Thousand Oaks

by Carl Kozlowski

T

hese are great times for Asian entertainers, as Crazy Rich Asians has become a top film comedy, John Cho has scored a hit with the thriller Searching and TV series such ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat are providing plenty of opportunities as well. Now a trio of accomplished IndianAmerican comics — Kabir Singh, D.J. Sandhu and Neel Nanda — are furthering the Asian Invasion by launching the Outsourced Comedy Tour.

The tour’s first stop comes this Friday at the Scherr Forum Theatre in the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, and will spotlight life from the perspective of being young and having an Indian heritage in modern America. Yet Nanda, who has made a splash with well-received appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central’s Adam Devine’s House Party, Hulu’s Coming to the Stage and Viceland’s Flophouse, says that the tour has a broader goal than that.

“There isn’t a concerted effort to break Indian stereotypes with this show, just a concerted effort to bring people together with laughter,” says Nanda, whose weekly live show “Unnecessary Evil” at the Westside Comedy Theater in Los Angeles was named one of the Top 10 stand-up comedy shows in the city by LA Weekly. “My story and my

10 —

— September 27, 2018

act do break many stereotypes, but that isn’t necessarily intentional. I think my act is relatable because there are Indian Americans all over the country that defy basic stereotypes.”

The Outsourced show was the brainchild of Singh, who has been producing and hosting a diverse comedy showcase with the same name in the San Francisco Bay area. He ultimately decided to take the concept nationwide. Nanda has known and worked with the other two comics for years.

Nanda was born in Atlanta to parents who immigrated from India after their arranged marriage. He has been a huge fan of comedy since childhood, when he would watch Comedy Central in middle school with a notebook on his lap, writing down his favorite jokes before retelling them at school.

“I didn’t realize I was stealing jokes until I was in high school,” recalls Nanda. “When I was in high school I started writing my own jokes using the structure of some of the jokes I had previously stolen. I filled up a notebook of jokes and didn’t realize until college that I could go to an open mic and tell them. I actually had a friend read the notebook and tell me, ‘You know you can just go perform these, right?’ I didn’t know, but after a quick Google search I was off to the Laughing Skull open mic.”

Nanda keeps his material “personal and relatable,” treating his Indian heritage as a part of his life rather than as a dominant source of topics and opting

for “whatever feels funniest.”

He notes that all three comics on the bill have their own unique styles and topics, with headliner Singh bringing his high-energy, in-your-face attitude and sharp wit fresh off his Comedy Central debut on Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution. Sandhu has performed everywhere from the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas to the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Aside from stand-up, Nanda is making a concerted effort to ride the wave of interest in Asian actors, having auditioned nearly 200 times already this year, leading to several small parts that give him the confidence of knowing he’s on the right path.

“I would say my proudest accomplishment thus far in comedy is performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” says Nanda. “I’ve always wanted to do a set on late night, and Jimmy Kimmel was my first choice. So the fact that it came together kind of blew my mind. I’ve performed on other networks like Comedy Central, Hulu, Viceland, etc., but Jimmy Kimmel was the first place I performed where my parents were a fan of the host.” ✦ The Outsourced Comedy Tour will take place on Friday, Sept. 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. For tickets and more information, call 805-449-2787 or visit civicartsplaza.com.

Colette Peters (center) stars as the “thoroughly modern” Millie Dillmount.

Then she bumps into a guy named Jimmy Smith who tells her to go back home. (Nick Tubbs is perfectly cast as the lovable rascal Jimmy.) Millie persists and heads to the Hotel Priscilla for young women, run by the dubious Mrs. Meers. (Stephanie Lesh-Farrell making the most of an unsympathetic role.)

Millie meets the other boarders, including the upper-crust Dorothy Brown (the wonderful Bryce Hamilton), lands a job and falls for her boss, Mr. Graydon (the charming Brent Ramirez). One night, Millie runs into Jimmy again. He introduces her to New York nightlife, including the socialite chanteuse Muzzy Van Hossmere (the great Monica Quinn). Soon, Millie finds herself falling for Jimmy, throwing her whole plan out of whack.

This is the part of Thoroughly Modern Millie that’s easy to love. The romance and humor are uplifting. The singing and dancing (choreographed by Keenon Hooks) are pitch-perfect.

Seth Kamenow designed and Thomas Brown built the set that ingeniously switches from steno pool to speakeasy and more.

But then there is the other part of Thoroughly Modern Millie: the subplot in which Mrs. Meers, who is disguised as a Chinese woman, kidnaps young women to sell them into “white slavery.” This part of the story, with its caricatures and insensitivities, gives the play a darkness it doesn’t deserve. (Millie is so lovable without it.) In his director’s notes, Parsons writes, “As we laugh at who we were as a country, we’re able to laugh at who we’re still trying to be. . . . What we can celebrate, however, is what we all know to be timeless: ‘Green Glass Love.’ ” In the play, “green glass love” translates to real love, which is a sentiment the rest of the musical embodies wholeheartedly.

Perhaps it helps a little to know that the good guys prevail in the end. In Thoroughly Modern Millie, the old-fashioned ✦ concept of love conquering all is the most timely of all.

Thoroughly Modern Millie through Oct. 21 at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center, 3050 E. Los Angeles Ave., Simi Valley. For tickets and more information, call 805-583-7900 or visit simi-arts.org.

Brother Earl and the Cousins

alicia@aliciadoyle.com

P

laying together since December of 2017, Brother Earl and the Cousins performed their first show in upper Ojai during a fundraiser for victims of the Thomas Fire — and have since put out an eight-song EP called Maintenance Required.

“It’s got everything, from pretty straightforward country waltz to more rock and roll that has a heavy bluegrass vocal influence,” said Noah Berberea, lead singer and guitarist of the four-member band.

“We don’t fall into a single category,” he noted. “We’re about bringing authentic sounds to music again.”

The members are as eclectic as the band’s sound.

Berberea, who was raised in Thousand Oaks and lives in Camarillo, is an electrical contractor by day. Ventura resident Richard Ambrose, the band’s other guitar player, is a retired veteran “who’s just a badass all around.

He’s just got a great heart,” Berberea said.

Drummer Geoff Kida, an Ojai resident who has a music degree, teaches history at Santa Paula Continuation School; and bass player Greg Prinz, also of Ojai, is a metal fabricator by day.

“We’re a bunch of blue-collar guys that have a good time and we want to portray that as much as possible, especially with the Americana and country genres,” Berberea said. “There’s a lot of people that are really big in it, but haven’t gotten their hands dirty in real life. We want our music to sound like what we are: a bunch of dirty rednecks.”

WHAT’S IN A NAME

Brother Earl goes back to February of 2017 when Berberea started performing songs solo around town.

As far as the name of the band is concerned, “It’s sort of a pseudo name — I wasn’t comfortable putting these songs out with just a normal name,” he explained. “The main reason I don’t use my ‘normal’ name and hide by a

— September 27, 2018

SBB_VCR_180927_v2.indd 1

9/24/18 6:02 PM

pseudonym is because all of this music comes from real experience. They’re lyrical songs; there’s a message in all of them. All of this music was written out of a very vulnerable place for the most part.”

The titles of tracks on Maintenance Required include “Devil and Angel,” “Goodbye Sister,” “Last Dance,” “Love Gets Me Down” and “Oh, Lord.”

“People can always relate to some of this stuff,” Berberea said.

“People always come up and say, ‘I really got that.

You were right on,’” he continued. “That’s my biggest goal in all of this — to be able to put into words things that sometimes people can’t on their own. And hopefully through this music, as corny as it sounds, we want to make people feel like they’re not alone with these things.

Shit happens in life.”

RIDING THE WAVE

Although the band has been “pretty ambiguous at this point,” it’s been quickly gaining momentum through word of mouth. In less than a year, Brother Earl and the Cousins have performed at the OakHeart Country Music Festival and the Ventura County Fair, and staged shows at The Saloon (formerly Saloon BBQ Co.) in downtown Ventura, Ojai’s Deer Lodge and Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, where the band opened for rising country star Drake White. The band has also traveled farther south for various gigs in Southern California.

“It’s just been such an organic thing and the momentum behind the band is going so quick, we’ve just been riding the wave,” Berberea said. “Our website isn’t even built yet … but we’re in a mode of getting ready to start recording our next album. We’re moving forward as quick as this whole thing will allow us.” ✦ Maintenance Required is available on Amazon.com as well as soundcloud.com/brotherearl. Brother Earl and the Cousins will perform at Greater Goods in Ojai on Oct. 5, and at Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks on Oct. 12.

Killing Eve on BBC America

By Emily Dodi

T

The House With a Clock in Its Walls The Clock’s timing is a few ticks off

by Tim Pompey tjpompey@gmail.com The House With a Clock in Its Walls Directed by Eli Roth Starring: Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Owen Vaccaro Rated PG for thematic elements, including sorcery, some action, scary images, rude humor and language 1 hr., 44 mins.

T

here haven’t been many children’s films this summer. I have the feeling this may suggest a shift in media producers’ attention from theater to cable and Internet content. It’s getting harder to get those little ones away from their TVs, laptops and phones. Heck, just getting people to turn off their phones in the theater is challenge enough.

The House With a Clock in Its Walls certainly has star power behind it. Produced

by DreamWorks, featuring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, I had hoped for something smart and funny, or charming, or even scary. Unfortunately, this movie is like paying for a large iced tea and receiving a medium cup.

The year is 1955. Tenyear-old Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro), whose parents have died in a car accident, is going to live with his uncle, Jonathan Barnavelt (Jack Black), in New Zebedee, Michigan. What Lewis discovers is that Uncle Jonathan is a warlock who lives in a large haunted house filled with hundreds of clocks, toy dolls and other weird paraphernalia.

His uncle’s so-called friend is his grumpy next-door neighbor, Florence Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett). She is a powerful witch but emotionally ineffective, due to the death of her husband and daughter.

Lewis is a strange lad. He wears flight goggles as a tribute to his favorite TV hero, Captain Midnight. He’s obsessed with dictionaries. He’s also small and shy. All of this makes his life at school difficult. The one friend he manages to make, Tarby Corrigan (Sunny Suljic), later

‘‘

ditches him when Lewis uses a spell to raise a dead body in the local graveyard.

The house, however, is dominated by a ticking clock that exists somewhere in the walls. It was installed by the previous owner, magician Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLachlan) and his wife, Selena (Renée Elise Goldsberry), to drive Uncle Jonathan crazy.

It’s working. Jonathan makes nightly journeys through the house searching for the clock, tearing at the walls, and scaring poor Lewis half to death. What’s worse, the clock was installed to bring about the end of the world. It’s only a matter of time before its final tick.

With everyone in a state of chaos, finding the clock and turning it off proves to be a major hurdle.

Oh, did I mention that the dead body Lewis raised was the old warlock and magician Isaac Izard? Yeah, that proves to be a problem, too.

While all the pieces are here to make for a great source of entertainment, what seems to be missing is an intangible element called inspiration.

The movie has moments of comedy, tension and even a bit of heart. But it’s like the workings of a clock. The many pieces need to fit together to tell time. Not so in this case.

The House With a Clock in Its Walls just feels disoriented.

Director Eli Roth, known more for his horror films (Hostel, for one), has his hands tied here. Roth as horror guru loves the gory stuff; you can tell he’s aching to shake his chains. The PG rating, however, doesn’t allow much room for blood and guts. What we end up with are sneak peeks into the movie’s potential. As a result, the usual talents of Black and Blanchett are wasted in a plot that is as predictable as time itself.

So kids might enjoy this film just for its content.

Adults will laugh occasionally and maybe cringe at all the pumpkin mess. But for a film with this much talent, I have to say that while it’s not a total waste, it sure falls short of what might have been. As some in the business might say, The House ends up just being a minor bit of silliness. ♦

While all the pieces are here to make for a great source of entertainment, what seems to be missing is an intangible element called inspiration.

he first scene in Killing Eve makes an ice cream parlor, the most innocent of places, seem as sinister as a serial killer’s walk-in freezer.

This is where we meet Villanelle, a cool beauty played with creepy brilliance by Jodie Comer. The way Villanelle holds a little girl’s gaze then twists it into a queasy look of fear is enough to put you right off your sorbet. Watching Villanelle appropriate social cues from a waiter, from his smile to his exact number of blinks, we get the feeling we’ve happened upon a psychopathic killer who loves her work.

Just when we think we’ve crossed over to the dark side with no hope of escape, we meet Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh). Granted, she’s screaming; but she offers a dark comic relief that will become one of the BBC America drama’s best and most unique qualities.

Villanelle has a sense of humor, too. Sort of. When she plays a trick or cracks a wicked joke, she smiles like the cat that ate the canary — and one that is about to eat a whole lot more. In the case of Killing Eve, however, Villanelle is the mouse and Eve is the cat. Or rather, they take turns being hunter and prey.

Created by Phoebe WallerBridge and based on the Codename Villanelle novella series by Luke Jennings, Killing Eve updates the classic suspense genre by centering it around both a female protagonist and a female antagonist.

Killing Eve holds you in its grip by getting inside your head.

Eve is an American in London; an MI5 agent who mostly sits at a desk and admits to having “a thing for assassins.”

Everything changes when she

catches the attention of an MI6 commander named Carolyn, played by the great Fiona Shaw with enough steely insouciance that it would make 007 fumble his martini. Carolyn puts Eve in charge of finding Villanelle and uncovering who is paying her to kill high-level targets around the world. Carolyn lets Eve assemble a team, including cranky Bill (David Haig), Elena (a spy’s BFF, played by Kirby Howell-Baptiste) and lovesick computer genius Kenny (Sean Delaney). Weirdly and amazingly, these co-workers share such a warm and funny camaraderie, it’s like The Office, if The Office took place in the Upside Down. That’s lucky, because Killing Eve is so taut and razor-sharp, we need to laugh every once in a while just to remember to breathe.

Villanelle has interesting work relationships, too. She and her handler (the wonderful Kim Bodnia) share a dynamic that fluctuates between tender and terrifying. When Villanelle goes in for an assessment, it is a perfect example of how the show combines the very dark with the darkly comic. Not an easy achievement, and yet it does that again and again. You can’t help liking Villanelle just a little.

Sandra Oh was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Actress for her role. Claire Foy ended up winning for The Crown, but Oh made history as the first woman of Asian descent to earn the accolade. Fans will have to be content with the fact that Killing Eve will be back for a second season. And it’s sure to slay. ♦ Out of the Box is a semi-regular column by VCReporter staff and contributors about television and streaming content.

sauce, and strips of haecho or seaweed. The presentation was an art piece. For the sake of preserving the appetite for the main course, one ball would have sufficed. Mandu is Korean for traditional pot stickers. The preparation was the usual, pan-fried, crispy on the sides, warm minced pork on the inside with green onions and garlic.

With our appetizers, we also received a small dinner salad — the miso sesame dressing a comforting flavor.

And so, with our appetites officially sated, our lunchboxes arrived. The mushroom and soft tofu soup (sund du bu), prepared spicy, came with a raw egg, which I cracked and stirred in the steaming hot stone bowl. The silky tofu melted in my mouth while the strings of egg white and yolk in the rich clear broth gave it a bit more substance. The mushrooms gave it that earthy flavor.

The combination made for a whole body and mouthwarming experiencing with plenty to take home. The small bits of just a touch crispy fried orange chicken were neither too greasy nor too sweet, a problem I usually see with this dish.

While I had hoped to try some of the noodle and dumpling soup, prepared normally, aka not spicy, that just didn’t happen, though my companion obviously enjoyed it. The steak was marinated in the special house sauce and prepared in such a way that it was both tender and delicate, the flavor slightly sweet. Both lunchboxes came with fried potato cake and banchan, which included mild kimchi, kongjang (soy-braised soy beans), kongnamool (soybean sprouts) and potatoes in soy sauce.

Our total bill for two people, $70, plus tip — both the meals and the service, provided by Judy and another young lady who quickly picked up dirty dishes, were worth it. While we could scale back to just the main courses, splurging can bring fun, unique experiences.

Though not everyone can travel the globe to taste a bit of culture, you will surely be immersed in the flavors and ♦ courtesy of Korean dining done right at Sura.

ADVICE GODDESS

by amy alkon “acting out” before it ruins our relationship. I love her and don’t want to lose her. Help!

— Doghouse

Pouter Keg

M

y girlfriend, who’d been traveling, lost track of what day it was and was surprised when I showed up on the usual night I come cook her dinner. She was happy to see me but said she needed to finish this one “urgent work email.” How nice.

Dinner would get cold while she took forever. Instead of getting started in the kitchen, I sat down angrily on the couch. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

I said, “I’ll just sit here till you’re ready!” She got angry, saying that I should have just asked her how long she’d be or told her I felt bad. She then went on about how I have a “toxic” habit of this sort of “passive-aggressive” behavior, and I need to stop

There will sometimes be reasons you are unable to communicate using the spoken word: Your jaw is wired shut. You are gagged with duct tape.

A wizard has turned you into a cocker spaniel.

Otherwise, when you’d like another person to do something, it’s best not to express this to them in code: “I want you to meet my needs — right after you guess what they are!”

Passive-aggressiveness is a kind of coded communication — a form of “indirect speech,” which is a way of saying something without flat-out saying it. The ter m “ p a s s ive - a g g r e s sive” was coined by a military psychologist, Colonel William Menninger, during World War II. He used it to describe soldiers who — instead of saying no to a direct order (hello, ugly consequences!) — wiggled out through “passive measures” including “procrastination, inefficiency, and passive obstructionism.”

Menninger’s term was useful in military memos because, as historian Christopher Lane puts it, the army couldn’t exactly issue a directive against “pouting.” However, there

was no research to support it as anything more than a tactic in a certain situation — as opposed to a “personality disorder” a chronic, genetically driven pattern of maladaptive thinking and behavior.

Yet, in the 1950s, a group of psychiatrists writing the mental disorders bible, the DSM (edition I), took a big, unscientific leap. They willy-nilly added passive-aggressiveness to the list of personality disorders in the book — perhaps because without an official “disorder” label (and diagnostic codes that go with), health insurance companies wouldn’t pay

‘‘

latrines with their toothbrush.

In other words, indirect communication like theirs is often adaptive, meaning highly useful — a form of diplomacy. As I pointed out in a recent column, per psychologist Steven Pinker, it’s a crafty way to communicate a potentially inflammatory message without causing offense the way baldly stating one’s feelings would. For example, there’s the social relationship-preserving hint about table manners, “Wow, Jason, you’re really ENJOYING that risotto!” instead of the more honest “GROSS! You eat like a feral hog on roadkill!”

The thing is, avoiding causing offense can go too far, like when it’s driven by a long-held and unexamined belief that you’re offensive simply by existing and having needs.

Understanding that, explore the root of your own passive-aggressive behavior. My guess? It’s fear of conflict, or rather, of the results of conflict. Granted, at some point, it was probably protective for you to avoid conflict — and the direct engagement that could lead to it — like if you had a volatile and abusive parent. However, as an adult, indirect communication should be a tool you use when it suits the situation, not a

When you’d like another person to do something, it’s best not to express this to them in code: “I want you to meet my needs — right after you guess what they are!” therapists to treat it.

But consider the weaselly, “passive-aggressive” tack those soldiers took. Though their indirect approach to getting their way was militarily unhelpful, it was anything but “maladaptive” for them personally.

It allowed them to avoid both courtmartial and getting shot at — or to stay in bed “sick” instead of going all “10-4!” on scrubbing the grout in the

behavior you robotically default to.

Consider that conflict, when expressed in healthy, noninflammatory ways, can be a positive thing — a source for personal and collective growth and deeper relationships. But to take advantage of this after years of auto-burying your feelings, you’ll need to start by articulating to yourself what you want in a particular situation. Next, while ignoring the protests of your fears, express your needs and/or feelings to the other person with healthy directness: “Hey, can you guesstimate how many minutes till you’re done with your work?” and maybe add “I have a special dinner planned, and I don’t want it to get cold.”

Admittedly, some conflicts end up in gridlock, which means you won’t always get what you want. However, you’re far more likely to get your needs met if you don’t just fester with resentment or turn every relationship interaction into an intricate game of charades: “Sorry, honey. Still don’t get it. Are you angry or doing a rain dance?” ♦ (c)2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. Got a problem?

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

Do you have any skills at living on the edge between the light and the dark? Are you curious about what the world might look like and how people would treat you if you refused to divide everything up into that which helps you and that which doesn’t help you?

Can you imagine how it would feel if you could love your life just the way it is and not wish it were different from what it is? Please note: People less courageous than you might prefer you to be less courageous. But I hope you’ll stay true to the experiment of living on the edge between the light and the dark.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

According to Popbitch.com, most top-charting pop songs are in a minor key. In light of this fact, I encourage you to avoid listening to pop songs for the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, it’s essential that you surround yourself with stimuli that don’t tend to make you sad and blue, that don’t influence you to interpret your experience through a melancholic, mournful filter. To accomplish the assignments that life will be sending you, you need to at least temporarily cultivate a mood of crafty optimism.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Gemini regent Queen Victoria (1819–1901) wore crotchless underwear made of linen. A few years ago, Britain’s Museums, Libraries, and Archives Council accorded them “national designated status,” an official notice that means they are a national treasure. If I had the power, I would give your undergarments an equivalent acknowledgment. The only evidence I would need to make this bold move would be the intelligence and expressiveness with which you are going to wield your erotic sensibilities in the coming weeks.

CANCER

by rob brezsny (June 21-July 22):

I’ve taken a break from socializing, my fellow Cancerian. In fact, I’m on sabbatical from my regular rhythm.

My goal for the coming days is to commune with my past and review the story of my life. Rather than fill my brain up with the latest news and celebrity gossip, I am meditating on my own deep dark mysteries.

I’m mining for secrets that I might be concealing from myself. In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest that you follow my lead. You might want to delve into boxes of old mementoes or reread emails from years ago. You could get in touch with people who are no longer part of your life even though they were once important to you. How else could you get into intimate contact with your eternal self?

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

Here’s a quote from A Map of Misreading, a book by renowned literary critic Harold Bloom: “Where the synecdoche of tessera made a totality, however illusive, the metonymy of kenosis breaks this up into discontinuous fragments.” What the cluck did Harold Bloom just say?! I’m not being anti-intellectual when I declare this passage to be pretentious drivel.

In the coming days, I urge you Leos to draw inspiration from my response to Bloom. Tell the truth about nonsense. Don’t pretend to appreciate jumbled or over-complicated ideas. Expose bunk and bombast.

Be kind, if you can, but be firm. You’re primed to be a champion of down-to-earth communication.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

A data research company, Priceonomics, suggests that Monday is the most productive day of the week and that October is the most productive month of the year. My research suggests that while Capricorns tend to be the most consistently productive of all the signs in the zodiac, Virgos often outstrip them for a

six-week period during the end of each September and throughout October. Furthermore, my intuition tells me that you Virgos now have an extraordinary capacity to turn good ideas into practical action. I conclude, therefore, that you are about to embark on a surge of industrious and high-quality work. (P.S.: This October has five Mondays.)

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Biologists are constantly unearthing new species, although not new in the sense of having just appeared on our planet. In fact, they’re animals and plants that have existed for millennia. But they’ve never before been noticed and identified by science. Among recent additions to our ever-growing knowledge are an orchid in Madagascar that smells like champagne, an electric-blue tarantula in the Guyana rain forest and a Western Australian grass that has a flavor resembling salt and vinegar potato chips. I suspect you’ll be making metaphorically comparable discoveries in the coming weeks, Libra: evocative beauty that you’ve been blind to and interesting phenomena that have been hiding in plain sight.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

There is no such thing as a plant that blooms continuously. Phases of withering and dormancy are just as natural as phases of growth. I bring this fact to your attention to help you remain poised as you go through your own period of withering followed by dormancy. You should accept life’s demand that you slow down and explore the mysteries of fallowness.

You should surrender sweetly to stasis and enjoy your time of rest and recharging. That’s the best way to prepare for the new cycle of growth that will begin in a few weeks.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

If you were ever going to win a contest that awarded you a free vacation to an exotic sanctuary, it would probably happen during the next three weeks. If a toy company would ever approach you about developing a line of action figures and kids’ books based on your life, it might also be sometime soon. And if you have ever had hopes of converting your adversaries into allies, or getting support and backing for your good original ideas, or finding unexpected inspiration to fix one of your not-so-good habits, those opportunities are now more likely than they have been for some time.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

An 81-year-old Capricorn man named James Harrison has donated his unique blood on 1,173 occasions. Scientists have used it to make medicine that prevents rhesus disease in unborn babies, thereby healing more than 2.4 million kids and literally saving thousands of lives. I don’t expect you to do anything nearly as remarkable. But I do want to let you know that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to lift your generosity and compassion to the next level.

Harrison would serve well as your patron saint.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

On a spring morning some years ago, a smoky aroma woke me from a deep sleep. Peering out my bedroom window into the backyard, I saw that my trickster girlfriend Anastasia had built a bonfire.

When I stumbled to my closet to get dressed, I found my clothes missing. There were no garments in my dresser, either. In my groggy haze, I realized that my entire wardrobe had become fuel for Anastasia’s conflagration. It was too late to intervene, and I was still quite drowsy, so I crawled back in bed to resume snoozing. A while later, I woke to find her standing

next to the bed bearing a luxurious breakfast that she said she’d cooked over the flames of my burning clothes. After our meal, we stayed in bed all day, indulging in a variety of riotous fun. I’m not predicting that similar events will unfold in your life, Aquarius, but you may experience adventures that are almost equally boisterous, hilarious and mysterious.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

I’ve got three teachings for you. 1. Was there a time in your past when bad romance wounded your talent for love? Yes, but you now have more power to heal that wound than you’ve ever had before. 2.

Is it possible you’re ready to shed a semidelicious addiction to a chaotic magic? Yes. Clarity is poised to trump melodrama. Joyous decisiveness is primed to vanquish ingrained sadness. 3. Has there ever been a better time than now to resolve and graduate from past events that have bothered and drained you for a long time? No. This is the best time ever.

Homework: Make two fresh promises to yourself: one that’s easy to keep and one that’s at the edge of your capacity to live up to.

Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 11/21/2018, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long

term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated.

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 recorderís 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.

To: Tina M. Reyes, Unknown, and to all persons claiming to be the parents of the above-named person who is described as follows: name Baby Girl Reyes, Date of Birth: 07/15/2018, Place of Birth: Oxnard, CA,

Father’s name: Unknown, Mother’s name: Tina M. Reyes.

Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your child. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 12/26/2018, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon as counsel can be heard in Courtroom J1 of this Court at Juvenile Justice Center 4353 Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA 93036. YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED as follows: At the hearing the Court must choose and implement one of the following permanent plans for the child: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 12/26/2018, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint counsel for you. A thirty-day continuance may be granted if necessary for counsel to prepare the case. At all termination proceedings, the Court shall consider the wishes of the child and shall act in the best interest of the child. Any order of the Court permanently terminating parental rights under this section shall be conclusive and binding upon the minor person, upon the parent or parents, and upon all other persons who have been served with citation by publication or otherwise. After making such an order, the Court shall have no power to set aside, change, or modify it, but this shall not be construed to limit the rights to appeal the order.

If the Court, by order or judgment, declares the child free from the custody and control of both parents, or one parent if the other no longer has custody and control, the Court shall, at the same time, order the child referred to the licensed County adoption agency for adoptive placement by that agency.

The rights and procedures described above are set forth in detail in the California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26. You are referred to that section for further particulars. Michael J. Planet, Executive Officer and Clerk, County of Ventura, State of California.

you respond within 30 days.

Read the information below.
