Workers try to locate the section of pipe that broke sending water
and mud into the historic building.
Mud covers the floor and a water line near the tops of the seats shows how deep the water was shortly after the water line break.

A poster lays discarded in lobby of the movie that was supposed to
play before the break shuttered the theater.
Ojai resident Michelle
Thomas was in the Ojai Playhouse July 20, 2014, at a matinee screening of “Dawn of the
Planet of the Apes,” when she
became aware of something
amiss.
“There I was, sitting, eating my popcorn, glued to the
climactic ending moment of
the film,” Thomas recalled.
“I was glued. There I was.
And all the sudden, my friend
Robert says, 'Oh, my God,
there's water.'”
From the back of the theater, someone announced a
pipe had broken, she said,
and the audience must evacuate. “I looked down and, indeed, dirty water was pouring
into the theater, coming up
toward our seat. I said, 'I'm
not leaving, I want to see the
end.'”
She didn't get to see the
end, though. Minutes later,
she was out on the street,
wading through the tide of a
broken water main.
That was the last film
shown at 145 E. Ojai Ave. The
theater and the Village Jester
Restaurant, that shares an
adjoining wall, are still closed
two years to the day later.
Repair work for water
damage to the 100-year-old
theater was being underwritten by Golden State Water
Company (GSWC), owner
and operator of the ruptured
main, whose initial insurance
carrier's policy reached its
maximum in January 2015.
GSWC's secondary insurance
carrier took over then, and all
work on the building came to
a halt.
Vigil tonight to honor slain officers

Following the murders of
police officers in Dallas and
Baton Rouge, Nigel Chisholm
of Ojai believes it is time for
residents to peacefully assemble once again.
Chisholm is organizing
a public vigil to honor the
eight officers. The event will
be held today at 6 p.m. at the
Libbey Park fountain.
It has been a sober-
ing few weeks in the United
States, with killings in Orlando, Baton Rouge and Falcon
Heights, Minn. preceding the
police officer murders.
Ojai residents organized
a show of support for the 49
men and women killed at
Pulse, a gay dance club in
Orlando, and a Black Lives
Matter rally to call attention
to the officer-involved shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

Drought and a new
schedule of water rates will
be the main topics for discussion when the Ventura
River Water District (VRWD)
convenes a public meeting
today at the Oak View Community Center.
“It's going to be all about
the drought and where we
are as a water district for our
customers,” said Bert Rapp,
VRWD general manager.
“And we'll also be discussing
our plans for how we'll carry
on if Lake Casitas runs dry.”
The District is moving its water service from a
tiered-rate plan to a cost-ofservice rate method, Rapp
said, to meet compliance
with Proposition 218. “Some
folks rates will go up slightly,” he said, “and some will
go down.”

For most of 2015, the insurance company, GSWC and

23-year-old reward earns
man a frosty reception
Andra Belknap
[email protected]
Damian Reyes received a
Computer Lab Achievement
Award from the now-defunct
Oak View Elementary School
Sept. 22, 1993. The award
consisted of a Wendy's gift
certificate that entitled Reyes
to one free hamburger and
one junior frosty.
The 30-year-old Reyes
redeemed the award Friday
after discovering the gift certificate while preparing for a
move.
“It's from 1993,” said one
Wendy's employee when
presented with the certificate. After Reyes pointed out
it had no expiration date, he
was given his hamburger and
frosty.
Reyes grew up in Ojai, and
is preparing to leave town
to be closer to his children,
Gavin and Ethan, in Portland.
“I was taking everything
out of a drawer when I was
packing and I found the gift
certificate,” said Reyes. “I always had it in the back of
my head, it's a usable thing.
I have got to use it,” he said,
noting his surprise it hadn't
been lost over the years.
“As far as the food goes,
it was ok,” he said. “It tasted
like victory, but 23 years of
anticipation left it tasting a
little small. To be fair though,
I should of turned this certificate in when my appetite was
a little smaller as well.”
Indeed, the child-sized
frosty nearly fit in the palm of
his hand.
The restaurant's reaction
sullied the experience for
Reyes.
“I was expecting more of
a charming conclusion,” he
said.
Sue Blaine, a Ventura Unified School District (VUSD)
employee of 25 years, awarded the certificate to Reyes
while he was a student at Oak
View Elementary in the beginning of her VUSD career.
Blaine spent five years as
a computer educator in Oak
View and has fond memories
of teaching computer lessons
to children.
“When they would get
finished with a certain series
of lessons they would have
a test,” she recalled. “When
they did well, they would get
a prize.”
“They were a wonderful
group of kids. I think I got to
hand out a lot of awards that
year,” Blaine continued. “The
big prize would have been the
Wendy's certificate.”
“We were told that we
were one of the first schools
to have the computer lab.
It's so different from how it
is now,” said Reyes, who recalls playing The Oregon Trail
computer game in his former
school's lab.
Reyes is enjoying his last
few weeks in the Valley before
his move to Portland July 29,
but Ojai will always be home.
He remembers working
his first job at Rainbow Bridge
before graduating from Nordhoff High School in 2003.
Reyes intends to keep his
805 area code phone number in Portland, a reminder of
home.

Janice Medart
Ellis Gove Smith, a longtime practical
member of the First Baptist Church of
Ojai, passed into the presence of the
Lord on July 11, 2016, at the age of 99. He
had been an engineer, inventor, builder,
investor, farmer, Yellowstone Park dude
ranch owner and a master geneaologist.
He is survived by his son, Dean Ellis
Smith, of Michigan, daughter Carole Ann
Waltz, of Ojai; two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at the First Baptist Church of
Ojai, 930 Grand Ave., Sunday, July 24, at 11 a.m. Internment was
held July 14 at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura.
Ellis was born Feb. 22, 1917 in the same room, same house
where his mother was born 39 years previous. This was the
original homestead of the Joshua Gove family in Lancaster
County, Nebraska. Ellis was the third and last child of his
parents, Frank P. Smith and Effie Gove Smith. All the family have
predeceased Ellis. The family remained on the original farm
for 15 years with no inside plumbing nor electricity, farming
completely with horses. The produce of the farm was wheat,
corn, oats and alfalfa hay for a small number of milk cows,
calves, chickens and sheep.
The family was active in the local United Bethren Church
with Frank teaching the adult class. They were also active in the
Farmers Union, which strove to better the farmers’ bargaining
power by uniting families. Ellis attended the local District
School #41 and had the same teacher for the last seven years
there. His musical talents were helped with piano lessons. In
high school he studied trumpet, trombone, and alto horn,
winning high honors at school meets. Ellis was also active in
choral groups and sang some baritone solos.
Ellis attended the University of Nebraska, which was nearby,
and he drove 12 miles from home each morning with his
faithful Model A. He had to work 30 hours each week at the
Brace Laboratory of Physics to pay tuition expenses, so divided
the classes into five years, graduating with a bachelor of science
in mechanical engineering in 1939.
The same week Ellis married his high school sweetheart,
Ferne A. Miller, and the next week started work at the Gary,
Ind. U.S. Steel plant. Jobs were scarce in those days and the
first day the supervisor said the schedule would be a three-day
work week until further notice (at 72.5 cents per hour). With
fall and World War II at hand, steel came to be in demand and
the work schedule returned to 40-hour weeks. The early part of
the war, Ellis worked at Continental Roll Steel Foundry in East
Chicago, where they cast and machined the turrets for the M3
tank. The latter part of the war he joined Wilbar Manufacturing
Co. in Chesterton, Ind., a closed corporation in tool and die
and specialty machines. Ellis’ closest claim to fame is that he
designed and built the first automatic riveter for side panels on
the highway trailers.
By this time, the two children, Carole and Dean, were grown
and the entire family was active in the Liberty Bible Church,
an Evangelical Free. Ferne and Ellis sang in the choir and solo,
while Ellis was on the board and taught adult Sunday School for
almost 20 years.
In 1969, at age 51, Ellis decided to do something else for the
rest of his life, and they sold out and moved to Wapiti,Wyo., just
east of Yellowstone. During his life, Ellis built five houses which
they occupied consecutively: first at Crisman, Ind., second at
Chesterton, Ind., third at Porter, Ind., fourth at Wapiti, Wyo.,
and fifth at Ojai, Calif., all built on virgin land and with various
degrees of help. No. 3 at Porter also had a nursery for conifers
and shade trees for the great demand for raw luxury second
homes being built on the dunes along the shores of Lake
Michigan.
The Wyoming venture was very interesting and rewarding.
Ferne was a good chief cook and made fresh bread, rolls and
pies for customers. They had many interesting encounters with
the native animals. After 23 years of hard work, it was decided to
retire to California. After the house was built and landscaping
done with many fruit trees, another project emerged. This
project of mission work in Tijuana, Mexico took all the free
time for the next 12 years at Iglesia Bautista Emmanuel and the
daughter churches. Ferne died in 2001.

work to resolve this matter,”
Matthew Currie wrote in a
prepared statement late last
week. Currie is GSWC's director of human capital management, risk services, and
senior counsel.
Al-Awar's is not the only
litigation over the Playhouse,
though. GSWC was sued in
2015 by its secondary carrier, Starr Indemnity & Liability Co., which contended
the $787,000 paid by the primary carrier, the James River Insurance Company, was
out of compliance with the
policy and was therefore not
applicable to the initial policy's $1 million claim limit. To
date, no further payments for
repair work have been forthcoming.
“It's one of those unfortu-
nate situations where there's
private property and competing insurance claims,”
Ojai Mayor Paul Blatz said
Tuesday. “So there's not a lot
the city can do about it.” Not
that it hasn't tried. In June,
the Ojai City Council requested the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) intervene in the matter. So far,
there has been no response
apart from the CPUC's acknowledgement of the filing,
according to Ojai attorney
Ryan Blatz, who drafted the
complaint.
And with work permits
in force, the theater does not
qualify as a vacant building.
The economic impact on
the community might not be
easy to assess, according to
Marty Harris, president of the

“It almost killed my family,” said Vail.
Oscar Delgado, of Oscar's
Tree Service, was on the scene
Monday and noted the oak
had visible internal decay.
The Summer Street property is owned and maintained
by the Area Housing Authority of the County of Ventura
(AHACV).
AHACV executive director Michael Nigh said the
tree was last trimmed in June
2015.
Certified arborist David
Mortimer provided a report
to Nigh.
"There were no exterior indicators that would tell
anyone — layman or expert
— that this tree was about to
fall," wrote Mortimer.
He added that the fact the
oak had internal decay is normal and many large oak species live with decay for many
decades and perhaps a century or more.
Mortimer estimated the
tree was 250 to 300 years old.
Ojai Film Society, but it's likely there. The tradition of dinner and a movie, he said, has
moved from Ojai to Ventura.
“Just consider the dollars that
are leaving Ojai per couple
because of that.”
“A
historic
building
on our main street is still
wrapped in a moisture barrier with no future of a completion,” said Scott Eicher,
chief executive officer of the
Ojai Valley Chamber of Commerce. “Does this have a large
impact on the economy of
Ojai? Perhaps not, but that is
not the point. Golden State
should carry on its arm wrestling with its insurance companies separate from paying
for the completion of repairs
to the Ojai Playhouse. It is the
right thing to do.”
In addition to serving as
a commercial venue for firstrun motion pictures, the Playhouse also was available for
use by numerous nonprofits,
Harris said, Ojai Film Society
(OFS) and the Ojai Film Festival (OFF) among them.
“It's really closed down
one area of social discourse
for the community,” said
Connie Campbell, who serves
on the advisory board of OFS.
People used to stand outside
the theater in groups after the
weekly OFS screenings, she
said, discussing whichever
film in the series they'd just
seen.
OFS now screens its film
series at the Matilija Junior
High School Auditorium and
in the Libbey Bowl, while the
Film Festival holds most of its
presentations at the Ojai Art
Center Theater, the Ojai Valley Woman's Club and Chaparral Auditorium.
“The Film Festival always
used the Playhouse as its primary venue,” said OFF President Jon Lambert. “The loss

“I most likely will be

Sheriff’s Office (VCSO).
“It’s nice to have public
support. People have been
bringing baked goods and
snacks into the office to show
their support since Dallas. It
means a lot to the officers.”
“This is simply an acknowledgement that killing
is killing and if one believes
that killing is wrong, then one
should also stand against the
targeted murder of law enforcement officers,” continued Chisholm, who attended
the two previous vigils. “We
all go home to our families at
night.”
of it has affected us in that
we've had to look elsewhere.”
Downtown Ojai, he said, is
the iconic setting for the festival, “and there is a limited
number of venues you can
use for seating 100 or 150
people in one place.”
If there is an end in sight,
it probably won't come any
sooner than Dec. 12, the date
on which Al-Awar's lawsuit
goes to court in Ventura. “The
bottom line is we just want
it fixed,” said attorney John
Howard, who is representing
Al-Awar in the case. “So we're
on the path to go to court in
December. If someone wants
to step up and do the right
thing between now and then,
that would be good. Otherwise, we'll go to trial.”
All the while, the Village
Jester has been ready for
business, waiting only for
structural repairs to the Playhouse in order to reopen. “I
get asked about the Jester
at least half a dozen times a
day,” owner Nigel Chisholm
said Monday. “And the main
question I am asked is 'When
will it reopen?'”
Chisholm said he is optimistic, 100 percent certain
the Jester and the Playhouse
will be open again. “They
just have to fix the building,”
he said. “People are going to
walk in, look around, and say,
'It looks just like it did before.
What was the big problem?'”

The board of the Taormina Theosophical Community

it was based.
Susan Williamson,
a
member of the TTC, said the

which is undeveloped.

the sky to be green, doesn't
mean the sky is green,” she
said.
TTC members and their
supporters also raised questions about perceived voting
inequities. Under Ojai's municipal code, each Taormina
property owner is accorded
one vote as to historic district
status. TTC was given one
vote.
“I think that the standard,
majority of property owners,
should mean the owners of
a majority of the property in
the district proposed to be
designated,” said Ojai resident and Planning Commissioner Steve Quilici.
The City Council will consider the HPC's recommendation during its Aug. 9 meeting.

FEATURED LETTER by Terri Laine, Oak View
I’m voting for candidates only if they will address issues important to me
I woke with a heavy heart this
morning following the two horrific shootings of black men in
the past days, followed up by the
sniper murder of Dallas policemen
this morning, not even to mention
some of the horrible events of the
past two weeks such as Orlando,
Turkey and Baghdad. It almost feels
too much to take in and process
and leaves me feeling overwhelmed
and wondering what it will take to
make people work for real change.
My mind also turns to the current presidential campaign and the
level of vitriol. While I love social
media, it is also responsible for a
level of discourse that is not conducive to thoughtful conversation
and seems to focus on the negative. Sound bites over the internet
are fun and powerful but not real
conversation. As Hitler said, “Make
the lie big, make it simple, keep
saying it and eventually they will
believe it.” We saw these distractions happen with Obama where
the conversation focused on Rev.
Jeremy Wright and his birth certificate instead of what his values
were; now we see the conversation
focused on Benghazi, emails and
Trump University.
While we can argue ad infinitum about whether he/she did
this or that, and what’s true or not
(and bottom line is that we can’t
know for sure what went on behind
Letters to the Editor
Stop thinking from
a place of fear
GABBRIELLA TUSINI, Ojai
For all the people who
think inside the box
For all of the people who
are thinking from fear
For all the people who are
small minded
For all the people who do
not struggle to make a mortgage payment
I say, “Booo!”
If I lived next to a shortterm rental and there was excessive noise and disrespect,
I would call the police. If
there was trash, I would call
the owner. I would take the
same action as if I was living
next to a full-time neighbor
who was inconsiderate.
From someone who almost lost their home because
of being laid off from their
job, short-term renting is a
miracle!
Please do not project fear
about things that have not
happened yet. From all of
you who are bashing shortterm rentals, I have yet to
hear about someone in the
city of Ojai who has a horror story about living next to
one.
I have finally been able to
not worry about my monthly
mortgage payment. Not to
mention how awesome it
is to share your home with
people traveling from all over
the world. I have also rented
to local people who have
been in between apartments,
who needed a place to stay
for a week or so.
Not one time, since I
have rented out my spare
room, in the home I live in,
has any of my neighbors
complained about anything
related to this subject!
Let’s all get into the 21st
century and start thinking outside of the box. And
stop bashing something
that could be wonderful for
everyone in the valley.
Weekenders don’t a
community make
WENDY LOCKWOOD, Ojai
I’ve lived in Ojai for 35
years, have raised three sons
here, and fiercely love this
little town.
I’m involved in our community, having served on the
boards of the Land Conservancy, the Film Festival, and
the Board of Realtors. I’ve
been active in the Topa Topa
and Nordhoff PTAs, PONY
Baseball, AYSO Soccer, and
the Parent Guild at Villanova. I’m also a Realtor here,
licensed since 1999.
Without a doubt, Ojai
is going through a growth
spurt. Starting about three
years ago, a campaign to
sell Ojai began — laid out
in glossy spreads in Sunset
magazine, the New York
Times, and Conde Nast.
Whether sparked by City
Hall, the Ojai Valley Inn or
the Chamber of Commerce,
closed doors other than what we
read from our chosen news sources
and we probably can’t ever agree
because we look at different news
sources), then our bottom line has
to be to vote our values because
that is productive and is exercising
our rights as U.S. citizens.
If you care about environmental
issues, climate change, LGBT issues, gun control, the future of the
Supreme Court, racial unity, women’s choice and a more accessible
and practical healthcare system,
then it’s clear who your candidate
is. If your concerns center around
Mexican and Muslim immigration,
jobs being sent overseas and you
just have an overwhelming sense
it worked and the masses are
here.
Yes, Ojai’s hotels, restaurants, and Arcade shops
depend on some business
from the tourists. However,
the idea that licensing shortterm rentals is good for Ojai
is just so shortsighted, as is
allowing any type of commercial (hotel) enterprise in
a our residential zones.
I’ve been selling real
estate in Ojai for 17 years.
Many of my clients have
settled into lovely neighborhoods and have an entire
community of primary residences and long-term tenancies within their block. Are
we going to choose to change
their standard of living?
These families purchased
homes under the protection of zoning laws and their
rights should be preserved.
Weekend renters may
boost restaurant sales or create more downtown foot traffic, but the weekenders don’t
create community. They
don’t have children enrolled
of anger at economic equality and
want to vote for someone who
shares your anger and who says
he will go in and bully everyone to
show them how it’s done and fire
those who disagree with him, then
your choice is also clear.
If you still think Trump and
Hillary are the same, and choose
not to vote at all because you feel it
doesn’t make a difference, then you
are part of the problem and not the
solution.
While people might not trust
either Donald or Hillary, one thing
I will go to the mat for is that there
is an ocean of differences regarding
the values and ideas they represent.
I choose to vote my firmly held
in our public schools or in
our Recreation Department
activities, Boy Scouts, baseball leagues, or AYSO Soccer.
They don’t support our core
businesses like nurseries,
pharmacies, feed stores,
stationery stores, or auto part
stores. They don’t volunteer
at our schools, Help of Ojai,
OVLC or any of our other
service organizations.
But families do.
And because of the
wrongheaded idea that
we need to accommodate
anyone who wants to visit
Ojai, whenever they want to
visit, the families that would
rent here and populate our
schools and community are
being displaced.
We can do better than
that.
Local production a
good part of summer
HENRY BLAND, Ojai
Last Saturday’s performance of the local musical,
“Annie Get Your Gun,” was
values and will not participate in
discussions about emails, Benghazi, whether Trump knew he was
using a Star of David in marketing,
whether he knows who David Duke
is, or whether Trump University
was a good value for the students
— because none of those things are
what I choose to base my vote on.
I’m not saying they are not
important to who the person is and
I understand people’s discontent,
but they serve as distractions to the
bottom line of what they will fight
for as president. Pure and simple, I
will vote for who I think will be able
to lead this country through thick
and thin and address the things
that I passionately care about.
superb entertainment. In
every way, it beats Broadway!
The directing and acting
(Holly Sewell is better’n Ethel
Merman or Betty Hutton) are
simply out of this world.
Make every effort to see
this wonderful show. It will
play through Sunday, July
31, and, if you reserve your
tickets (640-8797), you can
count this musical as one of
the best parts of your Ojai
summer.
Change is sad but
not unexpected
AMIRA SUSAN WEBSTER, Ojai
I have been hearing for
some time that newspapers
across the country are down
in subscribers and struggling
financially, so I was more disappointed and sad than surprised to read that the Ojai
Valley News that I have been
subscribing to for 31 years is
now going to be coming out
only on Fridays instead of
Wednesdays and Fridays.
I want to thank the staff
for their excellent work
reporting local news and
events all these years, and I
do have one request. Could
you consider coming out
on Wednesday or Thursday
instead of Friday, since I, like
many others, use the calendar section and ads to plan
my weekend, and sometimes
Friday is a little late in the
week to make plans.

• A reader sends a huge thumbs-up to the entire Ojai Valley
Imports team! I recently brought in my new used Lexus
SUV and as always they are super reliable, trustworthy,
honest in all their work and very fair in pricing.
• Thumbs-down to the local politician who resorted to
social media name-calling and histrionics as a first course
of action instead of addressing a problem directly. That
behavior is the real danger to this community.
• A reader sends a thumbs-up to the Historic Preservation
Commission for recommending that the City Council designate Taormina Lane for Historic District status.
• A reader sends a thumbs-down to the people who are
breaking the law by still operating businesses such as Air

has been.

Ranger football program starting season preparations
Mike Miller
[email protected]
Nordhoff High School
head football coach Lance
Wiggins and his Rangers are
wrapping up their offseason
activities, gearing up for the
start of the 2016 season.
“Our dead period started
last week and we’ll start getting after it August 3 and after
that, things will get pretty hot
and heavy,” said Wiggins.
The team is spending
time in the weight room preparing for the Aug. 3 start
of two-a-day practices and
their season opener, an Aug.
26 home game against the
Hueneme Vikings at 7 p.m.
This summer, the players have been hard at work
fundraising by selling Blitz
Cards, that provide discounts
to a number of local Ojai Valley businesses. “We had our
Blitz Night last week where
we sent our kids out all over
town to sell the cards. They
were scattered from Ojai to
Oak View and it went really
well overall,” added Wiggins.
“We sold quite a few cards
and the comments we received from the community
were very positive. It is nice
to hear that the people of Ojai
appreciate what we are doing
and the direction the program is heading.”
The revenue generated
from selling the Blitz Cards
will be used to purchase new
uniforms for the team, but
according to Wiggins, they
are still short of that goal.
“We did a good job and sold
more than we did last year,
but we did not sell enough to
get uniforms so we still have
some work to do,” he said.
The first sales push netted the Ranger football program $7,200, which is shy of
their overall goal. Anyone interested in purchasing a Blitz
Card or donating funds to the
program can contact Wiggins
at coachlancewiggins@gmail.
com. “I’ll either deliver the
card or we’ll have one of our
players get it to them, all they
need to do is contact me,”
added the first-year coach.
The NHS program also
will host its annual Casino
Night Sept. 10. “This year we
are hosting it during the sea-

son which is a little different,
but it falls on our bye week
and I think it will be a nice
change for us. It will allow
people to see a few games
and then come support the
team during the season rather than over the summer,”
added Wiggins.
Another date Ranger fans
can circle on their calendar will be Aug. 13. That day
will be Ranger Day where
the team will host a parent
meeting and barbecue. The
players will have a day full of
activities before playing their
inter-squad scrimmage that
evening.
According to Wiggins,
the team has not seen much
in the way of wins during
their summer passing league
schedule, but they are improving.
“We were winless in passing league, but I liked how we
competed and we got better
and better each time out. The
passing league games provided good learning opportunities and when we played our
game, we were successful,”
he added.
This season, the Rangers will look to use play ac-
Low numbers impact
Nordhoff summer hoops
Mike Miller
[email protected]
Summer is normally a
busy time for high school basketball programs as they put
in work during the offseason
with practices and tournaments. Unfortunately for the
Nordhoff High School (NHS)
boys’ program, low numbers
have prevented them from
playing in any varsity tournaments.
“It’s been a bit of a bummer this summer because
our numbers have been low.
But, I have been very pleased
with the results from the
players that have showed up
this summer,” said NHS head
coach Matt Murphy.
So far this summer, the
Rangers have had 11 players
out on the hardwood but the
majority of the players are
young and new to the program. “We had to drop out
of two varsity tournaments
because of low numbers, but
we have been able to connect
with Hueneme and we’ve
scheduled a few games to
reward the players who have
been coming out,” added
Murphy.
Last year’s Nordhoff team
went 5-21 overall and 2-8 in
the Tri-Valley League and
more than half of that roster
was lost to graduation. “We
have not had the numbers
I would have liked, but the
kids that are out there this
summer are working hard
and they are getting better
and I am pleased with that,”
added Murphy.
Based on last year’s results, Nordhoff’s top returning player for the 2016-2017
season should be junior Trevor Solano, who averaged 3.7
points, 2.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game last winter.

tion and rollouts to get their
passing game going, but
don’t look for them to bomb
the ball down the field. “Our
game is to get 7, 8, 10 yards
through the air and when we
do that, we are completing
about 75 percent of our pass-
es this summer. When we try
to go deep, that just isn’t our
game and we were not successful doing it. We need to
learn to play our game,” said
Wiggins.
“I had a number of coaches comment about how much
we’ve improved this summer.
It is good to hear and shows
we are headed in the right direction,” Wiggins added.
He also noted that the
Rangers have a battle going
on at the quarterback position this summer between
senior Jared Skaggs and junior Parker Johnsen. “Both
guys can really sling the football and both are playing
well and pushing each other,
which I really like. The best
part is they are helping each
other get better and they are
friends, so the support has
been very good,” said Wiggins.
After Ranger Day Aug. 13,
Nordhoff will travel to Brentwood for a scrimmage which
will begin at 4 p.m. for the junior varsity and 7 p.m. for the
varsity.

‘California Artists’ exhibit is ready at The Mullin Automotive Museum
The Mullin Automotive
Museum in Oxnard has debuted its new fine-art exhibit
“California Artists,” that will
run in conjunction with its
new “Cars and Carriages”
exhibition through the end
of the year. The art show
displays a diverse collection
of paintings and photography by a variety of California
artists from the past half
century.
The show features works
from Harold Cleworth, Art
Reid, Charles Arnoldi, Ben
Abril, Laddie John Dill, Bruce
Cohen, Sigrid Burton, Larry
Cohen, Jack Schultz, William
Dorsey, Hank Pitcher, Peter
Lodato and Dennis Leon.
“California is an incredibly diverse state with a
nearly infinite number of
landscapes and vistas, each
more beautiful than the last,”
said museum founder Peter
Mullin. “This great natural beauty has influenced
an almost equally infinite
number of Californian artists to create truly beautiful
works of art. We’re pleased
to be able to display some of
this incredible art, much of
it having never been exhibited together before. We’re
truly looking forward to the
chance to expose people to
these spectacular artists and
their unique vision.”
The collection was previously displayed at Engine
Company No. 28, an historic
landmark firehouse in Los
Angeles that served as the
headquarters for Mullin Consulting from 1987 to 2006.
The show offers the
chance to see these artists’
work all in one space, set
against the backdrop of the
vehicles on display at the
Mullin Automotive Museum.
The Mullin Automotive
Museum is at 1421 Emerson
Ave. in Oxnard, in the building formerly occupied by the
Otis Chandler Vintage Museum of Transportation and
Wildlife.

Ojai Art Center brings a one-performance play about a modern art collector
“The Collection,” a new,
full-length play about Peggy
Guggenheim, famous collector of modern art, will
come to the Ojai Art Center
for one performance Monday at 7 p.m. The role of
Peggy Guggenheim will be
played by Ojai native Jaide
Whitman.
The production presents
34 brief, critical episodes
in Guggenheim’s life. She
was married several times,
became friends with a vast
assortment of American and
European writers and
painters, subsidized Emma
Goldman so the activist
could write her memoirs,
had an affair with playwright Samuel Beckett,
smuggled her art to America
in the midst of World War II,
introduced Jackson Pollock
to the American art scene,
established galleries in
London and New York City,
and had a tumultuous
relationship with her chil-
dren.
Each episode is paired
with a work of art from her
collection. Her collection,
acquired between 1938 and
1965, now resides in her
former home in Venice.
The playwright, Al
Schnupp, is a faculty member of the Cal Poly Theatre
and Dance Department.
Whitman graduated
from Cal Poly-San Luis
Obispo in 2012 with a theater arts degree. She has had
a full professional life with
work in hotel management,
restaurant administration,
nonprofit accounting and
most recently in small
business consulting in Ojai,
Los Angeles and Kauai.
“The Collection” will be
Whitman’s sixth production
with Schnupp since 2008.
The Ojai Art Center is
at 113 S. Montgomery St. in
Ojai.

Ojai Valley Museum to hold a ‘Town Talk’
Photo submitted
Dude, Lebowski is coming to town.
‘The Big Lebowski’ at OFS
The Ojai Film Society will host a showing of
the Coen brothers classic, “The Big Lebowski,”
starring Jeff Bridges, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the
Matilija Junior High School Auditorium. 703 El
Paseo Road. Tickets will be available at the door.
General admission is $10.
If Tesla and Google are
correct, the self-driving car
is the wave of the future,
and automobile owners
soon will be permanently
banished to the passenger
seat by their robot chauffeurs. But for Ojai’s Bill Erickson and his friend, Steve
Dole, driving is a human
adventure, and they proved
it in 2007 by driving a 1925
Buick Roadster pickup
10,000 miles from Beijing to
Paris.
Sunday, Erickson and
Dole will drive the vintage
Buick to the Ojai Valley
Museum for a “Town Talk”
about their adventure, that
took them from the Great
Wall of China across Mongolia and Siberia to Europe
and eventually to the “City
of Light.”
Erickson is a longtime
Ojai resident who grew up
in Spokane, where his older
brother was a drag racer.
Erickson landed in Thousand Oaks in the 1970s as
the proprietor of an auto
shop that specialized in
exotic sports cars. He did
a lot of work for then Ojai
resident Pince Richman, a
car enthusiast who in 1989
prevailed upon Erickson to
move his business to
Ventura and his domicile to
Ojai.
In 2000, Erickson participated in Italy’s Mille Miglia
endurance road race, driving a Fiat V8 from Brescia to
Rome and back again. From
there it was on to La Carrera Panamericana, in which
Erickson and team drove
a 1954 Ford from the Guatemala border north to the
Rio Grande. Then he heard
about the 2007 centennial
edition of the famous Peking to Paris Race of 1907,
the first international road
race.
Erickson and Dole
acquired a vintage Buick,
shipped it to China and
drove it to Paris, all on one
quart of oil.
Erickson will show a
26-minute film about the
race, and he and Dole will
reminisce about their adventure and answer questions. And the Buick itself
will be on hand and available for inspection.
The “Town Talk” will run
from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The Ojai
Valley Museum is at 130 W.

ASTROLOGY
RISA D’ANGELES
The world situation demands we make the right choice
Esoteric astrology as
news for the week of July 20
through 27:
Each of the 12 signs
provides humanity with a
task, a specific labor, which
helps humanity recognize
and step upon the Path of
Return. Humanity, in the
Labors, is represented by
Hercules, the son of God
who is also the son of man
(Sanskrit for the “thinking
ones” — all of humanity at
this time). As Hercules enters
upon each sign, he faces
trials and continuous tests.
Each lifetime, as each sign
represents, certain tasks and
tests are completed. As this
occurs, Hercules is flooded
with understanding, his
sight is widened, his mind
illumined, love gathers in
his heart. The 12 petals of
the heart open and Hercules
finally, the world disciple,
enters the Rain Cloud of
Knowable
Things.
Here
intuition and pure love reside.
Each sign’s labor is different
building one upon the other.
In Hercules’ fourth labor
(Cancer), Hercules must
have wisdom, obedience of
the heart and discernment
which allows him to choose
rightly. This particular task is
important to understand. The
world situation is demanding
that we, too, make “right”
choice between the dual
realities offered us. Our
choice determines our future.
From the “Labor of Cancer”
we read, “The Great Presiding
One within Shamballa asked
the Teacher: ‘Where is the
son of man, who is the son of
God? How fares he, how is he
being tested and with what
service is he now engaged?”
We say; “Our world is engaged
in war now, O Teacher.”
After Cancer’s fourth
labor comes Leo’s fifth labor.
“Let Hercules burnish bright
his shield. Let him prepare.
Hercules must have courage
strong. He is to seek the
Temple of the Lord. But first
he must rest from the last
labor, resting at the fifth gate.
Afraid yet not afraid. Alone yet
not alone.” (to be continued)
ARIES: The full moon
created a challenge between
home
and
profession,
bringing that duality to light
so you could integrate both
realities. Polarization, duality
can be a source of difficulty,
pulling one in two different
directions. Visualize, imagine
and plan for a synthesis of
the two worlds, bringing
them into a harvest of light.
As you lead others, have
both willingness and love, or
leadership fails.
TAURUS: You’re emerging
as a teacher. The Cancer-Cap
full moon is a time when
the teacher is recognized
and gratitude given. The
Dalai Lama said we were to
rejoice in the teacher (and
the teachings). What teachers
blessed you with goodness
so you gained knowledge?
Thank them. You are to
become greater than your
teachers. The student is
always to surpass the teacher
— the student’s spiritual task.
GEMINI: You’re to be
sensitive to impressions
from greater realms (Venus
and the starry realms) so you
can understand more deeply
the ancient mysteries. What
concerned you prior to the
Cancer festival and full moon
is forgotten. Venus, Gemini’s
soul ruler, asks you to list
your values (things, events,
people, creatures, behaviors,
facts, plans, teachers, etc.). As
you see your values in words a
greater self-identity emerges.
CANCER: To figure out
what’s truly important, we
often have to observe our
daily routines. What is routine
this week and month and how
do these routines help define
you? What helps you decide
what to accomplish each
day? Do you provide yourself
with the same nurturance,
safety and security you
provide others? Careful with
communication. You may
not be able to hear yourself
clearly.
LEO:
Allow
yourself
time away from work
and responsibilities. Give
yourself time to use your
imagination. Allow yourself
play. These soothe, comfort
and create a sense of care that
sometimes you seek from
others. Work continues to be
quite transformative and in
depth. Prepare yourself each
day with proper foods and
exercise so weariness doesn’t
set in. Are you remembering
your father?
VIRGO: Your mind is
always filled with new ideas
and plans, detailed organizing
that others never consider. So
much about you is inspired.
Recognize this with delight.
Virgo’s ability to discern,
organize and tend to things
in detail are deeply creative
gifts. Eliminate all that’s
not needed in your home.
Reimagine your home. Offer
loving care to those around
you. Your heart is touched by
Jupiter.
LIBRA: So much is
in flux, with less and less
knowable
direction.
As
you change your home life
transforms. You always focus
on bringing forth beauty,
order and organization to
all environments. Notice if
your thoughts and beliefs
are changing, too. If you feel
obstructed in any way, look
around. There’s something
important to see. Be kind in all
your interactions. Especially
with family.
SCORPIO: There’s an
ongoing question concerning
resources,
money
and
finances. This, at times,
causes anxiety. It’s good to
communicate about these
things.
Communicating
expands awareness and calms
reactions to what seems
like continual change. You
continually feel the need to
create a hopeful philosophy
of life. Paring down expenses
allows for emerging new
and unusual resources (and
imaginative thoughts) to
appear.
SAGITTARIUS: It’s good
to follow the advice about
finances for Scorpio. A
transformation is occurring,
inner and outer, concerning
resources and values. This is
an important time when you
think deeply on how you want
to improve upon how you are
in relationships. Notice your
moods — from heights of
achievement and authority
to lack of confidence. These
are
normal
behaviors
for everyone in times of
transition. The right time,
place, direction, knowing
appears.
CAPRICORN:
Careful
driving, communicating and
doing things that demand
a focused mind. Neptune is
refining your thinking. At first
veils seem to drop over your
eyes. Then your mind feels
empty or confused. Then
there are bursts of creativity,
visions of new worlds. You
will want to communicate
these things. This is normal
behavior for Neptune. You
might have thoughts of
attending church or praying
more — for healing and for
beauty.
AQUARIUS:
Tend
carefully to your money.
Know where it is at all times.
Also,
consider
yourself
valuable in all ways. You’re
the new culture’s hero(ine),
artists for the coming times,
its creative spirit, dream and
vision. Have confidence in
all that you do, think and say.
Build community whenever,
wherever you can. You bring
forth for others new and
different perspectives. Be
very disciplined with money,
finances and resources.
PISCES: Home is your
vestal light, your refuge, place
of freedom and creativity.
Carry out daily tasks of
nurturance
rhythmically.
With Neptune in Pisces,
your nervous system needs
a protective enclosure. This
means a home and garden
of one’s own. If sounds are
disturbing, take aconite,
calcium and magnesium.
Some Pisces need an actual
home. Pisces need the
deepest care of all the signs.
You want to return home
again. Pray for and visualize
what you need.

be used for that purpose. 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
WKHFRXQW\UHFRUGHU·VRIÀFHRUD
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

shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the

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

of Division 7’s four-year term

four-year term.
Board meetings are typically held
on the fourth Monday of each month.
In addition, there are occasional
committee meetings throughout the
year.
To be eligible, the appointee
must be a resident of Division 7
and a registered voter. District 7
encompasses the Oak Glen-Gridley
Road area, Golden West tract, Topa
Topa School area, North Fulton and
North Drown neighborhoods. A map
of Division 7 is available on the
District’s website www.ojaisan.org.

vacancy will be accepted up to 3 p.m.
