Come to the Ojai City Council’s special workshop Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Boyd Center. Facilitated by Steve Alexander, the workshop was organized to obtain input from locals before the city crafts its new transient rental regulations. For the last few decades at least, if one wanted to run a bed-and-breakfast or “transient rental” in a residential zone in Ojai, the only method to do so legitimately was to obtain a business permit and then go before the Ojai Planning Commission and try to obtain a conditional use permit Ojai Valley News photos by Kelly Forrister Supreme Court decision gives extra boost to Ojai’s 24th annual Pride Parade See Rentals, Page A3 Members of the local LGBT community — and many of its supporters — marched through town Sunday in the 24th annual Ojai Pride Parade. Last week’s historic Supreme Court decision making same-sex marriage legal across the U.S. gave the 50-plus participants extra reason to celebrate this year. An old sign reading “get equal” (bottom left) was updated to “got equal” before Ojai’s parade. Playhouse owner to Golden State: enough is enough Bill Warner [email protected] Keywords: Golden State, Playhouse, water main It's been nearly a year since a ruptured water main shut down the Ojai Playhouse theater and The Village Jester restaurant, and it's been five months since the insurance company shut down the repair work at the site. Playhouse owner Khaled Al-Awar says enough is enough. "This is something they have to work out with their insurance company," Al-Awar said Monday, referring to Golden State Water Company, operator of the water main that broke July 20, flooding the building at 145 E. Ojai Ave. "The Playhouse should not be victimized in the process." Al-Awar said he was sending a letter, dated June 30, to the San Dimas-based American States Water Company, of which Golden State is a subsidiary. It is addressed to Board Chairman Lloyd Ross and CEO Robert Sprowls, and reads in part, "Golden State Water can and should fund the restoration of the Playhouse property without further delay and reserve whatever dispute it has with its insurers pursuant to the terms of the applicable policies, without putting me or the Playhouse in the middle."

It's associated with a tennis tournament, a school, a road, Ojai Pixie tangerines, the Ojai Valley Museum and a host of other things. So it came as a surprise to many when it was announced that Thacher was among this year's recipients of the Ojai Living Treasures award, presented by the Rotary Club of Ojai and Rotary Club of Ojai West. “Tony probably should have been a Treasure a long time ago. He's so well-established in the Ojai Valley and comes from, of course, the Thacher Family,” said Al West, Thacher's Rotarian mentor for Living Treasure. “He and his wife and the entire family are so generous to the community. I think the world of Tony and what he brings to the community.” West points out Thacher's work with Rotary, as well as the Friend's Ranch he runs with his wife of 50 years, Anne, and their children. “He is so active in helping, whether it's with the hospital, whether it's with the museum — just about anything Tony does, he does it with tremendous amount of love and effort. He truly makes the valley looks so good because of he and Anne being part of the community,” West added. West is not alone in his thoughts of Thacher. In a nomination submitted for Living Treasure, the following was said of Thacher: “Tony has always shared his resources whether they are his citrus products, his time or his monetary assets for the good of the Ojai Valley.” When asked about all this praise, Thacher said, “Well, I think if you have the time and the resources, it's something anybody should do. It's part of being a good citizen.” Thacher has certainly devoted a lot of his time with numerous community activities. One activity he's been involved in since he was born, the Ojai Tennis Tournament, which his family started in the late 1800s. “I remembered going down there, probably when I was in the fourth grade, with my dad. He would let me off and I would help clean up under the grandSee Thacher, Page A3 Man arrested, suspected of child molestation Keywords: Crime, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Photo courtesy of VCSO Steven Bower Last week, investigators with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO) arrested Steven Wayne Bower in Oak View on suspicion of child molestation. According to a VCSO press release, Bower, 45, is suspected of molesting three juvenile victims, each on separate occasions. Bower is currently in custody at the Ventura County PreTrail Detention Facility in lieu of $500,000 bail. He has entered a plea of not guilty; his next court date is July 7.

Cancer, a liberating and initiating sign, is the “gate” where spirit enters matter. Cancer receives and distributes Ray 3 (divine intelligence) and Ray 7 (new rules, new rhythms and archetypes, new free nation under God). Cancer represents an intelligent freethinking humanity that can and must create right economics for the world. This means a policy of sharing, an opportunity for the U.S. when Venus (money, resources, possessions, etc.) retrogrades July and August in Leo (the heart of the matter). The United States has a unique spiritual task for the world — to lead humanity within and towards the light, accomplished by its people who must first awaken to this task, learn discrimination, be directed by the soul to assume the Herculean task of spiritual world leadership. Let us review the first words of our Constitution. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Let us (re)form that union together. Especially as the secret TPP has passed, which is destroying humanity’s freedoms. Note: The following is a review of the spiritual tasks for each sign. Read all the signs. They all apply to everyone. ARIES: Your task in the upcoming times is to initiate the new culture and civilization, create communities that sustain large groups of people, gather groups of like-minds together to follow the initiating steps you create. You then hand the tasks over to those who can build and sustain your ideas. You must understand the importance of this work. You are, on spiritual levels, Mercury, the messenger. TAURUS: What others (only a few) have initiated in creating the new world, you are to study, refine and essentially stabilize. You often present and offer these ideas to the larger world. Many are asleep. Experiment with them in your like-minded group. You are to sustain the new reality and prepare for seven generations to come. You are Vulcan, forging lead into gold. GEMINI: You learn about lifegiving, sustainable principles for humanity — ideas most are unaware of yet. But humanity is actually seeking them. Being brilliant, mercurial and curious, you must first incorporate these principles into your life and distribute them. You’re to do this with patience, intelligence, scientific thought and love. You’re Venus, synthesizing all dualities. CANCER: You’re to nurture new ideas, allow them to enter your world, using your resources for research. You’re to also tend to those bringing the new information forth. Through you, the birth of a new culture and civilization comes forth. You’re to open the gates so impressions for a new world can come through. The entire world is your family. You work with Neptune, the dissolver, the refiner, the soul. LEO: You’re to use the new information creatively, always seeking ways that assist the kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human). You’re a leader, a king or queen, the artist. People listen to you because you carry the heart of the sun’s magnetism. You’re to create new sustaining projects. These give you greater self-identity. Later you lovingly offer your gifts to humanity, the world disciple. You are the sun, the life-giving force. Recite the “Gayatri” (“Hymn to the Sun”) daily. VIRGO: Always you hold a new state of consciousness, a new world. After reaching personality integration, you are able to bring forth the new materiality, which is the sharing principle. It will be your task to organize it into a structure understandable by humanity. The time is soon, though not yet. Study how humanity is to be fed. You, Ceres, are the moon hiding Vulcan. Water and soil are your gold. LIBRA: You’re to bring forth justice, taking the blindfold off Lady Justice. She holds the scales. You work with Gemini and Cancer creating economic stability humanity will need as the old economic structures dissolve. You are to help humanity understand their true identity and create relationships where none existed. You establish right human relations. You’re Uranus, where the new rhythms, archetypes, culture and civilization originates. SCORPIO: Your task is to first pass the nine tests of Mars; to realize you’re in a constant cycle of life, death, regeneration, and transformation. You’re the phoenix rising from the ashes, the disciple in the temple of wisdom (learning astrology). You prepare for the upcoming changes that will at first distress and then regenerate suffering humanity. You will be one of the teachers during the upcoming time. You are Mars, lord of aspiration. SAGITTARIUS: You’re to “lead the way” by offering new goals to humanity, moving us toward a sharing society. You’re the professor, teaching ancient (yet future) philosophies to those seeking the new culture and civilization, new ways of thinking which bring order and organization to the new world. First you need education in these things yourself. How will you learn? You are Earth, the mother and the holy spirit all in one. CAPRICORN: You know how to climb mountains. The constitution of man/mind is a mountain, the biblical Jacob’s ladder, angels climbing up (toward spirit) and down (into matter). Humanity, in matter for 18 million years, is seeking the path of return. You will teach humanity what are appropriate shoes, clothes, foods and climbing gear to ascend the mountain, become the initiate and reach for the sun. You are to consider yourself a unicorn and Saturn, the teacher of time. AQUARIUS: Your tasks, future-oriented yet also for the present, are many. You’re to build a spaceship, geodesic dome and an ark — environments to grow fish (tilapia), vegetables, fruits and medicinals. You’re to create community, a template of how humanity will need to live. You’re to offer yourself as everyone’s friend. You love humanity — from a distance. You work with Jupiter, which is love from the heart of the sun. PISCES: Your task is to build temples of study where everyone can be re-educated, their minds and hearts uplifted through understanding prayer, meditation and invocation. You’re to teach the “little ones” (seekers), offer festivals of light and unite heaven and earth through the study of the stars, planets and sun (astrology). You’re to work with Aquarius until the communities are built and offer the “Mantra of Direction” (“Great Invocation”) to the world. You are Pluto, the transformer with purpose and the plan.

The adjacent Village Jester restaurant, which shares a supporting wall with the theater, has been likewise unable to reopen. "We're waiting for the owner's engineer to conclude their design of the final drawings," said Robert Hanford, addressing the Ojai City Council at its regular session June 9. Hanford is regional manager of Golden State's Central District. Part of the delay, he told the Council, was because the Playhouse is a historic landmark with unique elements. With such buildings, it is not unusual for redesigns to be required, Hanford said. But once the owner's final engineering report has been submitted, he told the Council, an accurate construction estimate could be made. "There's no denying of responsibility," Hanford said. "It's just a matter of timing, and due to the structural elements it's taken longer than anyone's desired." "That doesn't make sense," Al-Awar said Tuesday. The reason the report was delayed in the first place, he said, was the insurance company's refusal to allow any money for it. That report has been com- pleted and approved by the city, he said, and would be submitted concurrent with the letter to Ross and Sprowls. Ojai City Councilman William Weirick didn't think the Golden State argument held much water either. "The only reason they (Golden State) are going for it like this is because they're trying to make sure they spend as little money as possible by having everything authorized by the insurance company," he said Tuesday. "And the insurance company is trying to reduce the amount it has to spend by treating this as a typical building loss, that is, a run-of-the-mill building." Part of the problem from the beginning, Weirick said, is that the builders have to wait for the insurance company to authorize any work or action, including any basic assessment. "That's the kind of thing Golden State Water could have stepped up and paid for out of a building account in order to move things along," he said. "If they were truly committed to the rebuilding of the Playhouse, they could have paid for the assessment. Golden State could have taken the risk of proceeding on its own dime out of community responsibility, but they chose not to. They've opted for financial expediency instead." Al-Awar’s letter to Lloyd E. Ross, Board of directors chair, and Robert J. Sprowls, president-CEO of American States Water Company Dear Messrs. Ross and Sprowls: As you know, on July 20, 2014, the Ojai Playhouse property was largely destroyed as a result of a rupture tin a Golden State Water Company main on Ojai Avenue adjacent to the Playhouse property. At the time, representatives of Golden State Water promised me that your company would take full responsibility for the enormous damage suffered not only by me and my family, but the entire Ojai community, which has lost a cultural centerpiece that has been an essential part of Ojai's fabric for over 100 years. While limited progress was made pursuant to Golden State's promise in remediating the damage suffered as a result of your company's negligence, nothing at all has occurred for the past five months. The ostensible reason for this unconscionable delay is a dispute between Golden State Water and its excess insurance carrier. As a result, I have been thrust into the middle of a dispute in which I have no involvement whatsoever, with continued delay in the restoration of the Playhouse property and no resolution in sight. I have been extremely patient and cooperative, but my level of patience is running out and my level of frustration is growing with each passing day, week and month, while no progress is made. Having caused the destruction of the Playhouse property through the negligence of Golden State Water, and having been promised that Golden State Water would restore the Playhouse property at no cost to me, it is time to make good on your promise. In short, Golden State Water can and should fund the restoration of the Playhouse property without further delay and resolve whatever dispute it has with its insurance pursuant to the terms of the applicable policies, without putting me or the Playhouse in the middle. Certainly, your failure to do so can't be a matter of your company's financial condition, with a market cap of over $1.4 billion, operating revenues of $465.8 million and net income of $61.1 million in 2014. For that reason, I am left to wonder whether Golden State Water meant what it told me almost a year ago, or instead, whether you are using the purported dispute with your insurers as a pretext to renege on that promise. But neither alternative can possibly be squared with your Mission Statement — the first value of which is "integrity," defined as "building trust, honest communication and doing what is right," All I ask is that you do what is right, accept responsibility for your negligence, keep your promise and act with integrity by promptly funding the restoration of the Playhouse property. I look forward to heard from you at your earliest opportunity. Respectfully yours, Khaled Al-Awar Rentals: Continued from Page A1 (C.U.P.). Over the years, only one Ojai vacation rental property owner has gone through this process, despite the increasing popularity of services like Airbnb, Inc. While this type of cottage industry has always been permitted in Village Mixed Use zones within the city limits, the C.U.P. process for vacation rentals in residential zones was the only method city officials had to inspect safety standards and to collect transient occupancy tax (T.O.T.). In city discussions earlier this year, the matter raised questions about property owners’ rights, consideration for neighbors and neighborhood character. The City Council is conducting Thursday’s workshop, Ojai City Manager Rob Clark said, to get an understanding of where the community is at now and where it wants to be. In addition, the City Council will hear from experts and explain the city’s “role, responsibilities, constraints and opportunities” in respect to vacation rental properties. Though this process aims to regulate only those properties within the city limits, the county of Ventura — which regulates activity outside of the city — already has rules governing vacations rentals on the books. The county’s Planning Department states in its zoning code that residents wanting to run a transient rental in a residential zone in the unincorporated areas of Ojai must first seek a “discretionary permit” from the county. The dilemma of how to best regulate an industry growing faster than legislators can keep up certainly isn’t exclusive to the Ojai area. According to Southern California Public Radio, the Los Angeles City Council is negotiating with Airbnb to collect occupancy tax — similar to Ojai’s T.O.T. — from these short-term rentals. Visitors staying in a hotel in Los Angeles can expect to pay 14 percent of their bill on T.O.T. The city of Los Angeles has apparently attempted to mail letters to property owners listed on Airbnb.com informing them of their duty to contribute to the city in a similar manner. Nearby Santa Monica has taken a more aggressive approach, banning all full-unit rentals under 30-day stays and allowing home-sharing only to those who register with the city. Some argue that this prevents entrepreneurs from gobbling all the available housing stock up to rent out to tourists, and protects neighborhoods from turning into ghost towns when tourist season ends. No matter where you sit on the issue, weigh in Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Boyd Center, 510 Park Road in Ojai. Thacher: Continued from Page A1 history and culture of Ojai.” Another example of his community work: he's on the advisory board for the Concerned Resource and Environmental Workers (C.R.E.W.). “It's going strong; it doesn't need me! It's doing a great job with the young people … (They're) doing hard work of clearing trails, fire abatement and that sort of thing. It's such a great organization. It's helping some young people. We used to say, 'It's getting them off the street and on the trail,'” Thacher said. “It's just a way of getting kids off the pavement and realizing you can do a day's hard work and somebody will pay you to do it. That's basically the life lesson there. You work as a team with four others and a team leader who is older than you, but not much.” Thacher recalled a young man during his lunch break who had never been out of a city situation before. The young man was working hard on a project and kept facing forward, but when he looked back, he was amazed with all he and the other team members www.oakviewselfstorage.com 805-649-5533 Units at 50% off for 4 months!!!

The program began sending just one to two students. This year, Thacher said they were able to give scholarships to 18 students. Thacher also shared that he's on the board of Monica Ros School and is board president of the Ojai Valley Museum — which he said, he "sort of" resisted getting involved in. “I thought that was for geezers, but I guess I'm a geezer now,” he laughed. “My Aunt Elizabeth was one of the movers and shakers in starting that. It was time for me to get involved in that.” Thacher said that he's interested in history and has been learning about art from various artists in town. “The museum is a museum of history and art and the Ojai culture … Culture is a big part of Ojai — arts, in general, music and the (Ojai) Film Festival now … The museum encourages those things, but, you know, our job is to collect and display the Ventura Ave. stands before I went to school, since I was little,” Thacher recalled. “I could get down there under the first and second rows and get some cups and what have you. When I came back after college, that was a natural thing to get involved in — and I've always been involved in it.” Thacher was also involved in the Regional Water Control Board when Jerry Brown was first governor in the late 1970s and early '80s. He said the board regulated water quality issues in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. “That was an interesting experience, meeting once a month and trying to decide this stuff … I did that for eight years,” he said. “I was interested in water — both the supply of water and, of course, the quality of the water … Whole range of issues.” Thacher has also been a member of the Rotary Club of Ojai for more than 40 years and has served as club president. One of the projects dear to him is the club's scholarship program. “We started this Educational Program about 20 years ago, specifically to 65 Portal St. Oak View Ventura * Offered only on selected units & subject to availability.

We made it wide enough for people to get up and down it,'” Thacher remembered the young man saying. “It's kind of a moment when they realize they're actually contributing to society — it's worthy what they're doing. It's a feel-good organization.” Outside of community activities and ranching, Thacher said he enjoys traveling as well as reading about travel and history. He and his wife Anne are also surrounded by family. “We have two chil- dren, George and Emily. We shooed them away, but after a decade or so after college, came back here to raise their kids. We got all our kids and our grandkids — our daugh- ter's living in Anne's parents' house where she grew up, and our son and daughter-in-law are living in my parents' house,” he said. “Yeah, we're pretty tied to here.” A4 Ojai Valley News • Wednesday, July 1, 2015 arou valley nd YOUR COMPLETE Wednesday, July 1 HISTORICAL PRESENTATION AT THE GABLES — The Gables of Ojai, 701 N.

Thompson was competing in her last 12and-under tournament and won in the finals in an epic two-hour match, 4-6, 6-3, and 105, in the tiebreaker. Shawn Rothermel was taken out in the first round, splitting sets, then dropping the concluding tiebreaker, 10-7. The marathon baseline rally match lasted over two hours. Another Ojai player, Hina Suzuki, also lost in a nail-biter. Suzuki lost the first set, 6-3, but came back to take the second, 7-5; but she lost the tiebreaker, 10-5. Thompson, bandaged after pulling a quad muscle the day before at Junior Life Guard Camp, won her first round, 6-0, 6-0. A couple of hours later she was back for her semifinal match, which she fought for more than two hours. Both girls pounded the ball and sustained rallies of 20 shots more than two dozen times. Thompson finally prevailed, 57, 6-2, and 10-4 in the tiebreaker. The next day Thompson played the finals, taped again — and limping with a new pulled muscle in her other leg. She played a much harder hitter and somehow chased down enough returns to win her third match. In other action, Scout Mathews played in the United States Tennis Association Sectionals in the Girls’ 14-andUnder Division in Los Angeles last week. She won, 6-0, 6-1, in the round of 32, but then lost the next round to Amanda Taberera, 6-4, 6-2. From there, Mathews dropped into the consolation division, where she won her first match, 6-1, 6-1, but lost her second match, 7-5, 6-2. Mathews is competing this week in the "Big Mo" International Tournament in San Diego. Later this summer she plans to play in the National 14's in Atlanta, then on to Boston to play in the National Mother Daughter Tournament with her mother, Karen. Photo by Perry Laskaris Nordhoff graduate Tim LeSuer recently earned All-American honors after a solid senior season at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. LeSuer takes All-American honors after senior season Former Nordhoff High School baseball standout Tim LeSuer was recently named to the 2015 All-American team by D3baseball and the American Baseball Coaches Association and Rawlings. LeSuer helped lead Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to a Liberty League title and three victories in the NCAA Tournament this season. In addition to making the 2015 AllAmerican team, the NHS graduate was also honored as the Rawlings New York Region Player of the Year. LeSuer was the nation’s toughest hitter to strike out this year, with only two strikeouts for the entire year. In his senior season, LeSuer hit a team-best .411 (67 for 163) with 12 doubles, a triple, a home run, 50 runs scored and 36 runs batted in. The three-time all-conference player compiled a .515 slugging percentage and a .519 on-base percentage as a starter in all 46 games, stealing 14 bases in 19 attempts. Striking out just twice, his 81.5 at bat-to-strikeout ratio was the best in the nation by nearly 30 at-bats. LeSuer concludes a very consistent threeyear RPI career with a .388 (173 for 446) batting average in 125 games. He recorded 24 doubles, two triples, one homer, 107 runs, 84 RBIs, and 96 BBs. LeSuer also had a .457 slugging percentage and a .491 on-base percentage with 36 stolen bases. His single in RPI's final game of the 2015 NCAA Regional against top-seeded SUNY Cortland was the 200th of his career. LeSuer was also selected to the D3Baseball first team All-New York Region team and first team All-Liberty League. As a senior at Nordhoff, LeSuer was deadly at the plate with a .431 batting average. He also struck out just three times all season and stole a team-high 20 bases. That 2011 team went 16-8 overall and 7-5 in the Tri-Valley League, and qualified for the playoffs.

Irrepressible ‘Auntie’ sets course for Ojai John Hankins contributor The larger-than-life heroine, ‘Auntie’ Mame, is coming to the Ojai ACT stage July 10 with all the award-winning music, dancing and excitement that made it a Broadway hit while thumbing its nose at convention and conformity. “Mame” (Tracey Williams Sutton) is the ultimate Greenwich Village Bohemian, whose digs at Beekman Place represent the epicenter of eccentrics, artists, actors, freethinkers and connoisseurs. Directed by Brian Robert Harris, the musical features “a remarkably hardworking cast.” After all, “the dance numbers require Broadwayquality choreography” and a score that embraces the exhilaration of living life to the Ojai ACT • “Auntie Mame” • 113 S.

Mame’s lifestyle is changed forever when her late brother’s 10year-old son, Patrick, (Rhett Speer) walks in with the dowdy, straight-laced Agnes Gooch (Anna Kotula). Gooch is bringing the sheltered Patrick to live with his Auntie Mame and she is delighted, and so is he when he finds out how much fun he’s going to have. But having him educated by freethinkers or home school doesn’t sit well with the trustee, the strict and severe Mr. Babcock (Bill Spellman) who insists he be sent to a proper school far away from Mame. The contrasts set the stage for a hilarious clash of culture between conformity and candor. After the Great Depression, she meets millionaire Beauregard (Phil Nemy) ushering in a whole new milieu. When Beau dies in an accident, Mame’s lifelong friends are there to support her, notably actress Vera Charles (Laura Ring), publisher Lindsay Woolsey (John See Mame, Page B3 Photo by David Baker The irrepressible and down-to-earth Mame (Tracey Williams Sutton) meets her sheltered nephew (Rhett Speer), who’s come to live with her.
