Motivational speaker Nick Vujicic (left) spoke to students at Matilija Junior High School Thursday as part of a three-day, Stand Strong Ojai, antibullying effort. At the end of Thursday assembly, students, including
Rain Williams (above) lined up to give Vujicic a hug. Vujicic also visited
with students at Nordhoff High School and Villanova Preparatory
School. The program will culiminate Saturday at 7 p.m. with a free
event for the public at Ojai Valley Community Stadium.
Former Ojai deputy killed while hiking
According to the Ventura
County Sheriff’s Office, Sgt.
Steve Arthur, 58, was killed
while hiking in Zion National
Park in Utah Monday after a
series of flash floods struck
the area where he and his
wife, Linda, were hiking.
Steve Arthur was posi-
tively identified Wednesday.
Search and recovery efforts
are still ongoing for Linda
Arthur.
A 21-year veteran of the
Ventura County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO), Steve Arthur had
been assigned to the Ojai substation from July 2011
through march 2014, according to VCSO Sgt. Denise Silva.
During his years in Ojai,
Arthur served as administrative sergeant, with scheduling, budgeting and the
management of equipment
among his duties.
He was also supervisor
for the Lockwood Station
deputies, Silva said, as well as
coordinator for Ojai’s Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program.
After Ojai, Silva said, he
was transferred to the Camarillo Police Department as the
traffic supervisor.

A pipe upgrade is taking
place at a natural gas metering station owned and operated by California Resources
Corporation (CRC) along
Highway 150 in Upper Ojai.
“Anticipate the work to
be completed within the next
week,” said William Blair,
manager of security and external relations for CRC (formerly Vintage Petroleum).
Trucks, cranes, Thompco
vacuum trucks and other
equipment have been moving
on and off of the property for
several days.
“This facility was originally installed by previous operators and transports natural
gas by pipeline for sale,” explained Blair. “The project involves
some
piping
replacement, routine maintenance and cleaning for inspection. This upgrade is part
of the ongoing routine mechanical integrity program
that CRC has for field operations.”
He said the vacuum truck
“was part of the equipment
involved in the maintenance,
cleaning and construction of
this project.”
The produced natural
gas metering station is on the
north side of the 15000 block
of Highway 150.

Montessori school generating interest in solar

The Montessori School of Ojai
(MSO) recently installed a 9.2 kilowatt
solar generator system that should produce about 40 percent of the school’s
electrical needs over the course of a year.
According to Eric Baldwin, MSO
board member and project coordinator,
“The inspiration was to provide an educational tool to teach students about re-

Upper Ojai gas pipeline gets upgrade
The Ojai Unified School
District (OUSD) Board will
ask community members to
review its elementary campuses to determine if there is
“surplus space” in the District
and what options might be
available if there is.
The Board will form a 711 Committee, a state requirement when a school
district is considering leasing
and/or selling property. The
committee name, 7-11, refers
to the number of people on
the committee; from seven to
11 people may serve.
The OUSD committee
will be charged with examining only the elementary
school properties.
A previous committee
considered the downtown
Ojai parcel where the district
offices and Chaparral High
School are and determined
the sale and/or leasing of that
property should be considered by OUSD.
“We all know what this is
about,” said Board Member
Kevin Ruf at Tuesday’s meeting. “We are looking at K
through six facilities and asking the community to help
determine if all schools
should stay online or not. It’s
a big deal.”
The scope is limited to elementary sites because Matilija and Nordhoff are the only
junior high and traditional
high school facilities in the
District, and the downtown
parcel has already been the
subject of a 7-11 committee.
“That
decision
still
stands,” said OUSD Superintendent Hank Bangser, explaining that despite the
previous 7-11 Committee recommendation, earlier this
year the Board decided the
district
office/Chaparral
property will continue to be
used as it is today.
Bangser said he had a thick
stack of legal papers with the
instructions of how to proceed should OUSD decide
differently in the future. It
would be a long and complicated process, he added, and
the District would first have
to approach public bodies,
like city and county governments and give them the first
option of using the property.
According to California
School Code the 7-11 Committee will be required to examine projected school
enrollment and other data to
determine the amount of surplus space and real property,
whether any schools should
be closed and if so, what
could be done with those
properties.
Community members
have until Wednesday to
apply. The committee is expected to be active from October to February, with a
newable energy, current events and
where power comes from, as well as to
be a visible reminder to the community
on how to save energy.”
Of course, the savings on the electric
bill will be a big bonus.
The project was funded by the
school refinancing its mortgage and a 10
percent donation by Amanda and Eric
Baldwin. Eric Baldwin is president of
SRS, LLC, a company which processes
silicon for the solar and semiconductor
industries.
The panels, installed by California
Solar Electric of Ojai, require no maintenance other than an occasional cleaning.
“The system is guaranteed to produce more than 85 percent of its rated
output for 25 years and will probably
greatly exceed that. There are systems
around the world that have been in operation for over 50 years now,” Baldwin
explained.
According to Roger House, solar
electric estimator, the current solar sysSee Solar, Page A3
How important is green
grass at school? That was discussed during Tuesday’s Ojai
Unified
School
District
(OUSD) board meeting.
The OUSD Maintenance
and Operations Department
head Josh Brown again spoke
with the board about how
best to use water to create
green areas at each campus.
Site maps were presented
to the board with outlines
showing specific areas on
each campus, that will be watered.
The soil types at each
campus were emphasized,
along with the consideration
of trees, and safety under
them.
“With respect to priorities, (we are trying to achieve)
a safe flat field,” said Chuck
Crawford,
longtime
groundskeeper with OUSD
and president of the OUSD
California School Employees
Association. “If we get it
green, that’s OK. But we are
not a golf course. And trees
are part of the story.”
He said that over the
years decisions were made in
certain areas to focus on grass
and playground space, while
in other areas trees were protected. The maintenance department has plans to create
mulch circles around certain
important trees throughout
the district to protect their
root systems.
Another concern Crawford raised is regarding falling
limbs. Oak trees are notorious
in Ojai for losing limbs — big
limbs — when they get some
water, then the weather turns
warm again. “Trees fail … as
soon as it heats up (after this
little bit of rain) keep an eye
out for mushrooms. That will
give a clue as to what is going
to be falling.”
During the public comment portion of the meeting,Ojai City Council Member
William Weirick presented
another perspective regarding the importance of green
fields at local schools. He
spoke about how green,
playable fields are needed,
not only for the students during school, but with the idea
of making the community attractive to young families. Attracting families is a struggle
for many cities, but it could

minimum of two meetings a
month except in December.
Bangser said each school
will be represented on the
committee by a parent and
school staff members. Three
questions will be asked of
those interested in joining the
committee: 1. In which elementary school attendance
area do you reside? 2. Please
describe your longevity and
involvement with the Ojai
Unified School District. 3.
Why do you want to participate in this committee and
how do you think you would
enhance its deliberations?
Bangser and Board Members Jane Weil and Linda Taylor will select the members of
the Committee after subsequent applicant interviews.
“What might happen if
we decided to have six rather
than seven schools?” Bangser
asked during discussion
about how the committee
would reach a finding. He said
there is not only the numbers
to consider, but also “there is
a numerical answer, a historical answer, emotional answer,
academic answer, and it is
very complex.” Not only will
the committee be examining
“the tolerance of use (for the
properties), but also the limit
of tolerance for change,”
within the community.

Randy Roth explained that no
special training or skills are
required beyond a pleasure in
reading.

volunteer will work one-onone, or with a small group of

IF YOU suffer
from low
back pain
and sciatica,
you are one
of over 65
million adults
in the US
with this often crippling spinal
condition.
Shooting, stabbing and burning
pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain
through the buttocks and down
the legs are all symptoms of a
pinched nerve often called “sciatica”.
In severe cases, it can lead to
muscle wasting, numbness and
constant tingling down to the tip
of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you
down and drain the joy out of life.
That is, until now...
Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back
pain have led to the development
and huge success of Non-Surgical
Re-Constructive Spinal Care.
The excellent results of this
treatment have been published in
major medical journals. With success rates as high as 90% some
back surgeons recommending
their patients try this treatment
first before having back surgery.

for most people.”
Because the treatment is nonsurgical, safe and easy, most patients report an almost immediate
relief from their pain.
Patient Jeff P. from Ojai says,
“My back pain was unbearable but
the worst thing was the searing
burning pain I felt in my buttock
and leg.
I couldn’t work or do anything
useful and the drugs my GP prescribed hardly did anything.
My wife insisted I respond to
one of these ads, I thought it
would be a total waste of time,
but I’m so glad she kept on at me.
Thank god I called your number, I’m 95% better in just a couple of weeks.”
Your invitation for a comprehensive consultation and examination
to pinpoint the cause of your low
back pain and sciatica...

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
MEL BLOOM
Home is always a place like which there is no other
About two centuries
ago, 187 years to be exact, a
song was written that still
remains a nostalgic favorite and an homage to
the joy and comfort of a
place called home. It first
was heard in a long-forgotten opera called “Clari” by
John Howard Payne. The
song begins with these
words, “Mid pleasures and
palaces though we may
roam, be it ever so humble,
there’s no place like
home.”
And though both literature and drama are replete
with dangerous, spooky,
and unholy homes which
are anything but the wellappreciated phrase,
“Home is where the heart
is,” the concept of home is
a place with which we are
familiar, for better or
worse, and there is something comforting about the
familiar. A prime example
of that notion can be found
in Alexander Dumas’
“Count of Monte Cristo,”
where protagonist Edmund Dantes had been
mercilessly and unlawfully
cast into a dungeon where
he had lived for years yet
managed to make friends
with the rats with whom he
shared a cell.
Being yanked from the
familiar sometimes can be
a godsend but it invariably
calls for an adjustment. I
recall eons ago when both
the world and I were
young. I traded my personal bedroom for a barracks that housed 150
foul-mouthed, know-it-all
guys. It was not what I
would have initially classified as “home,” but by the
end of a 10-week boot
camp, I had become used
to it, made the adjustment
and considered it a home
of sorts. But what had become customary, conventional and even sort of
comfortable was snatched
away, and I was dispatched
to a ship that the only
thing it had in common
with the Queen Mary was
that they were both oceangoing vessels. I wasn’t ever
sure the one I was on was
seaworthy, but it got me
into the ocean and then
into Japan and home
again. So, to take a sentence from The Bard, “All’s
well that ends well.” However, the showers were of
saltwater, and the toilets
were wooden slats for our
buttocks placed over a long
trough on which eight people could sit. It was not ex-
actly The Ritz, especially
when one was sitting at either end of the trough and
the undulation of the keel
riding the waves sent a gallon of saltwater up one’s
derriere. But the point is,
through all this crazy concept of camaraderie, we
got used to it (though it
didn’t happen overnight)
and it became “home” —
certainly not the home we
hoped to return to, but a
home for the duration.
And now this exalted
newspaper which has been
so much of my life for 34
years has moved from its
old home to a new one.
During my years here, we
have moved three times
and I have seen five
changes in ownership, and
while the paper is my
home, the new physical
surroundings will call for
some adjustment. Every
change brings the opportunity for great expectations. Time will tell if they
materialize.
In the meanwhile, let us
raise a cup of good will on
the new start and heed the
advice of Robert Browning
who wrote, “Greet the unseen with a cheer.” Despite
the new digs, this is still
our home.

The Villanova Prep volleyball program is off to 6-3 start
and on a three-match win
streak as they head into a
tough league schedule.
The Lady Wildcats are led
by first-year head coach Kim
Machnic, who said she has
high expectations for this
year’s squad.
“I thought the season actually started off a little rough,”
Machnic said. “Our first
scrimmage
match
was
against Fillmore and I was
surprised they struggled to
beat them. However, at the
Laguna Blanca invitational
tournament in Santa Barbara,
the girls played some pretty
tough teams and even though
we lost, I could tell the team
was coming around.”
So far this season, VPS has
defeated Fillmore (3-2), San
Gabriel Mission (3-0), St.
Joseph (2-0), Grace Brethren
(3-1), Pacifica (3-2) and Providence (3-0). Their losses have
been to Malibu, Palm Springs
and Crossroads.
“Everyone on the team
plays an important role; hitters cannot hit unless the setter can make good sets;
setters can’t set unless the
passers make good passes,”
she explained. “We need
servers to get the serves in,
blockers to do their jobs at the
net and diggers to fill in and
cover. We don’t win unless
everyone can play defense,
it’s as simple as that.”
This season the Lady Wildcats are playing in the TriCounty League along with
Grace Brethren, Nordhoff,
Bishop Diego, St. Bonaven-
ture, La Reina and Malibu.
Again, Machnic is looking to
set a high bar for the Wildcats.
“My goal is to have them play
better than last year and
hopefully place in the top two
and make it further into CIF
playoffs as well. It’s really
hard to predict since I am not
at all familiar with this league
but I have faith in my girls and
I know there’s lots of potential
with this year’s team,” said
the first year coach.
This year’s roster includes
Katherine Palmer (co-captain), Sidney York, Maddy Bailey, Athena Giron, Janelle
Romualdez, Kate McAtee,
Taylor Johnson, Katie Norris
(captain), Brenna Norris,
Nicole Abraham and Jordan
Ambrose.
Villanova’s next home
game will be against La Reina
Thursday at 6 p.m.
Lakes duo, Nugent take tourney title
The Ojai Duffers monthly
golf tournament was held
Sept. 3 at the Soule Park Golf
Course with the customary
scramble format and 8 a.m.
tee time.
First place honors went to
the team of Ken and Sue
Lakes and Bill Nugent. Second-place winners — by a
card off — were Pete Conforti,
Dave and Barbara Nakada
and Carol Chavez.
Coming in third place was
the team of Mike and Cathy
Patton and Al and Carol
Gross.
Closest-to-the-pin
awards on the third hole went
to Al Gross for the men and
Bonnie Herbst for the
women.
On the 10th hole, Dave
Sparks was the winner for the
men. No woman reached the
green on the day.
A vote was taken and
passed to use the name Ojai
Duffers rather than Double
Duffers, for correspondence
and recruitment. The vote
changes the group’s name
after approximately 40 years.
The club members felt the old
name implied only couples
were welcome when indeed
both couples and singles have
long been welcome.
The next tournament will
be held Oct. 1, also at Soule
Park at 8 a.m. and with a
scramble format.
New players are welcome
and should call tournament
chairman Ken Lakes at 6464243 to register.

Howe did she get to be so good?
Michaela Howe, an eighth-grader at Matilija Junior High School, recently traveled to San Fernando
to take part in the Welcome to the Jungle wrestling tournament. Once there, Howe was informed
she would be bumped up to the junior varsity high school boys’ division. Unfazed by the step up
in competition, Howe showed the boys a thing or two by winning the gold medal and she won
in impressive fashion as she pinned all of her opponents. The Ojai Valley continues to be a hotbed
for female wrestlers with Howe and Mikayla Miles of Nordhoff High School, who made it to the
CIF finals last year.
Rangers, Toads have difficult road games this week
Mike Miller
[email protected]
Both the Nordhoff and
Thacher football programs
will hit the road this week and
both teams will take on stellar
competition.
NHS is licking its wounds
after a 63-0 beatdown by the
Lompoc Braves. To add insult
to injury, the Rangers will be
without head coach Erik
Monson who is serving a oneweek suspension for violating
an internal school rule.
The Rangers will head
south to face the North Torrance Saxons who are currently 2-1 on the season. The
Saxons’ victories have come
over Peninsula and Beverly
Hills and their loss was to Redondo Union in their season
opener.
Nordhoff fans will remember North Torrance from the
2012 CIF Southern Section
title game where the Rangers
won, 31-14, to claim their
first-ever title in football.
Last season, the two teams
played again and Nordhoff
won, 13-7.
This season, NHS is fighting an uphill battle and looking forward to playing teams
in their league rather than
larger programs like Lompoc
and North Torrance.
Across town, Thacher will
travel to Mojave to face the
team that broke its heart in
last year’s CIF Southern Section title game.
The Mustangs came to Ojai
and edged the Toads, 21-20.
Last week, Thacher narrowly lost to Pahranagat Valley from Nevada, 34-30.
Mojave is off to a 2-0 start this
season with wins over Sherman Oaks (70-6) and Immanuel Christian (30-0).
Thacher will play a rare Friday-night game under the
lights and head coach Jeff
Hooper is showing he will
play anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Ojai’s other football team,
the Villanova Prep Wildcats
improved to 2-1 on the season with a 55-23 win over the
Valley Christian Academy
Lions.
When VPS returns from a
rare bye week, it will begin
gearing up for the Lone Pine
Golden Eagles (2-0) who they
will face Sept. 25.
The Lone Pine game will be
the first home night game the
Wildcats have played in 91
years.

Stand strong, Ojai, stand strong!
Standing in the midst of a crowd
of a thousand people, I listened intently to the most powerful message I have ever heard. Emotion
was raw and tears streamed down
the faces of almost everybody
there. As the man talked about
challenges and hope to overcome
immense obstacles, lives were
being changed right in front of my
eyes. Some even acknowledged
they were planning suicide but
changed their minds after hearing
what this guy had to say.
The man on stage didn’t merely
speak powerfully, he lived intensely! He was a handsome young
man in his late 20s wearing a button-down shirt and wireless headset microphone. He moved back
and forth across a table as his platform, peering into the eyes of his
audience, speaking words that
pierced our hearts.
With his thick Australian accent,
he told us his personal life story
with wit and humor. He made us
laugh, and then we cried. What
captivated everyone was the credibility of the person talking to us.
His name is Nick, and he has lived
his whole life without arms or legs.
Can you imagine it?
Later that night I got to meet
Nick. He stayed late, ready to give a
hug to anyone who wanted one.
Have you ever received a hug from
someone with no arms or legs? I
must tell you that the experience
may change your life. I’ve met U.S.
senators and corporate CEOs,
celebrities and big shots of all
sorts. I must say that Nick Vujicic
may be the most important person
I have ever met, not because of his
barriers but his response to them.
Nick travels the entire world
telling his story on school campuses and in auditoriums as big as
they make them. His message is for
everybody. Having experienced in-
sensitivity, cruelty and bullying
firsthand, Nick is on a mission to
help set people free. His anti-bullying campaign is a raving success in
young and old alike. People are
being reminded about essential
values of human dignity, respect
and kindness in a diverse society
that values each person as unique.
Further, Nick exhorts people to be
themselves instead of conforming
to the expectations of peers.
I am so excited to know that Nick
has come to the Ojai Valley to speak
to our students and families. Nordhoff, Villanova and Matilija are
among the venues that are getting a
personal visit from
Nick. With stories the world over of
lives impacted by him, I am thrilled
to know that our own corner of the
globe will benefit in this way. Saturday night he will address our community as a whole in the NHS
stadium at 7 p.m.Everyone is invited. Attendance is free and I am
definitely planning to be there to
hear what he has to say to us.

movie review
Documentary seeks music of the soul
The Ojai Film Society will
screen “Alive Inside” (USA
2014) Sunday at 4:30 p.m. at
the Matilija Auditorium, 703
El Paseo Road, Ojai. This
film is not rated.
General admission is $10,
$7 for seniors and students.
For more information call
646-8946 or visit
www.ojaifilmsociety.org.
“Alive Inside” is an extraordinary documentary, a
joyous cinematic exploration of music’s capacity to
reawaken our souls and uncover the deepest parts of
our humanity.
Filmmaker
Michael RossatoBennett followed
social worker
Dan Cohen for
three years as he
brought personalized music on iPods to
elders in nursing homes. His
camera reveals the uniquely
human connection we find
in music, and how its healing power can triumph
where prescription medication falls short.
We see Henry, a 94-yearold dementia patient, who
has spent the last decade of
his life slumped in a chair in
a hallway. As soon as Cohen
slips the earphones on the
patient, he sits up, his eyes
come into focus and he
starts singing along with
Cab Calloway. Cohen,
founder of the nonprofit
Music & Memory, fights
against a broken health care
system to demonstrate
music’s ability to combat
memory loss and restore a
deep sense of self.
Rossato-Bennett visits
family members who have
witnessed the miraculous
effects of personalized
music on their loved ones
and interviews experts including renowned neurologist and best-selling author
Dr. Oliver Sacks and musician Bobby McFerrin
(“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”).
“Music is a back door to the
mind,” Sacks explains.
“Alive Inside’s” inspirational
and emotional story left audiences humming, clapping
and cheering at the 2014
Sundance Film Festival.

about the work of Dan Cohen, founder of Music & Memory, Sunday at
