A Golden State Water
Company (GSWC) water line
break near the intersection of
Ojai Avenue and Signal Street
Sunday will result in the
closure of two businesses
indefinitely and the rerouting
of traffic for up to a week.
The Ojai Playhouse had
recently reopened after undergoing structural repairs. Its
next-door neighbor, The
Village Jester, was hoping to
reopen sometime in July.
Because of what one city of
Ojai official described as a
“massive flow of water” under
and into the buildings during
the break, the 100-year-old
structure has been red-tagged.
They will not be allowed to
open again until the structure
has been examined, any
needed repairs are made and
the building is determined to
be safe for occupancy.
Ojai building official Steve
Stuart said the leak undermined the structure to some
degree and the building has
been posted as being unsafe
for occupancy. “Our first
concern is to structurally
stabilize the building,” Stuart
explained. The good news, he
said, was the work done
recently on the foundation
likely helped stabilize the
building during Sunday’s
flood. The bad news is that
Stuart described the work
ahead as a fairly major repair
and said it was not going to be
a quick fix.
Three nearby businesses,
Twice Sold Tales bookstore,
Marché Gourmet Deli and
Barbara Bowman clothing
store were also red-tagged, but
they have since been cleared
for occupancy.

A muddy water line near the top of the seats, inside the Ojai Playhouse, shows how deep the floodwaters were inside the building.
As of noon Tuesday, twoway traffic on Ojai Avenue was
still closed, and there will be
some changes for about a
week while the California
Department of Transportation
and GSWC work to repair the
damaged section.
“We are going to close the
Gold Coast Transit bus stop on
westbound Ojai Avenue,
across from the Playhouse and
will move it further west closer
to the Mob Shop or Jim &
Rob’s,” explained Greg Grant,
Ojai’s Public Works director.
Parking on the westbound side
of Ojai Avenue between Signal
and Ventura streets will be
eliminated, and a temporary
eastbound lane will be
constructed in the middle of
Ojai Avenue, bypassing the
construction work in the eastbound lanes.

Casitas hosts two meetings to discuss state water conservation mandates
Tiobe Barron
Ojai Valley News correspondent
Casitas Municipal Water District
(CMWD) is hoping its customers will
voluntarily conserve water before it
institutes more drastic measures
through a California State Water
Resources Control Board mandate
that’s set to go into effect next month.
“A large number of our customers
use very little water, but then, we have
a few customers with very large landscapes. It would be great if they could
cut back on watering the lawns, especially on what’s not visible (from
public rights of way),” says CMWD
public affairs manager Ron Merckling.
“I really want to emphasize that it will
be easier for everyone if we can make
some changes in water usage, especially in landscaping.”
The State Water Board issued a press
release July 15 stating that, due to the
severe drought in the state, it approved
an emergency regulation prohibiting
the following: using potable water in
non-recirculating water features;
using a hose with no shut-off nozzle to
wash cars; washing down walkways
and driveways; and watering landscaping excessively, causing runoff.
The mandate authorizes large water
purveyors such as CMWD to fine
customers up to $500 per day for
failure to follow these conservation
measures, and water purveyors themselves could be subject to $10,000 perday fines if they do not comply with
the mandate.
“Our drought is such a threat that
voluntary measures are not enough to
protect our future. It is crucial that we
all do our part to conserve California’s
water. From fixing broken sprinklers,
cease watering landscaping, to taking
shorter showers, simple steps can go a
long way,” says Assemblyman Das
Williams, in a press release in response
to the mandate. “The drought impacts
are being felt by communities all over
California. It is crucial that Californians start saving water immediately
to avoid much more severe regulations
in the future if the drought persists.”
The same press release issued by
Williams’ office states, “A recent survey
conducted by the State Water Quality
Control Board revealed that conservation measures to date have failed to
achieve the 20 percent reduction in
water use mandated by Governor Jerry
Brown. Water usage has increased in
California by 1 percent. The new
restrictions are estimated to save
enough water statewide to supply
more than 3.5 million people for a
year.”
At its Water Resources Committee
meeting Monday, CMWD board
members and staff discussed the new
state regulation and how to implement
it.
Though nothing was adopted, ideas
included developing a new water allocation plan, possibly updating a water
waste ordinance in successive stages
and designating surcharges for those

This
summer,
the
Concerned Resources & Environmental Workers (C.R.E.W.)
is working on its largest grant
project ever. The goal of the
Stewart
Canyon
Creek
Restoration Project is to
remove invasive plants, trees
and vegetation from the Fox
Street barranca down along
Creek Road to its confluence
with San Antonio Creek. As
part of the restoration of this
riparian ecosystem, C.R.E.W.
workers, professional restoration biologists and community volunteers will re-vegetate and restore the creek with
native plants. The project will
continue for two years, with a
follow-up maintenance period
during Year 2, where handremoval of weeds and invasive
plant re-growth will be
conducted by the C.R.E.W. and
volunteers. When completed,
more than 2,500 linear feet of
stream, totaling approximately 4 acres of riparian
habitat will be restored.
The $432,000 grant is a
result of a two-year application process that was awarded
by the California Department
of Fish and Wildlife. The application was written by the late
Wally McCall, former C.R.E.W.
executive director, and project
ecologist Brian Holly. “A

Obituary
Richard Eugene
Sheahan
Dick Sheahan, beloved husband, father, friend, irreverent
storyteller and longtime valley
resident moved to greener pastures on June 22, 2014 from St.
John’s Living Center in Jackson,
Wyo. He was 91.
Dick woke up every day in
wonder that something new and exciting was going to
happen. He whistled while he wheeled gravel in his
wheelbarrow, puttered in his basement or threw tennis balls to his adored German shepherds. An Irish
man with a twinkle in his eye, his sense of humor
elicited belly laughs from family and friends. Dick
played the gut-bucket and harmonica, leading his
family and friends in song. He gained his energy from
the people around him, and at social gatherings had
the ability to encourage even the shyest person to
share her life story. When one played hearts with him,
he would shoot the moon every chance he had, often
winning handily.
Born on August 23, 1922 in South Pasadena to
Mayme Bauer Sheahan and George Eugene Sheahan,
he joined older brother, Bob, who was six years his
senior. After high school, Dick and a close friend took
the train to Eugene, Ore. in 1941 where they enrolled
for fall semester at the University of Oregon. It was at
a freshman mixer where he was smitten by the willowy
and beautiful Dottie Case, and they married March 6,
1943. The horrific sneak attack on Pearl Harbor compelled him to enlist in the Army Air Corps, where as a
celestial navigator, he guided C-46 and
C-47 troop and cargo carriers in the Asiatic Pacific theater. Post-war he flew occupation personnel to Japan
and Berlin in C-54s. “The more I flew, the more frightened I became,” he told grandson Carson Meyer.
Dick and Dottie purchased their first home in San
Marino where their first three children were born.
Then, to the surprise of their friends, they moved
north to Santa Barbara in 1951. Dick went to work at
Triangle Hardware and then started his own swimming pool business. The two youngest Sheahans were
born in Santa Barbara. Dick was a quintessential California lad who loved body surfing, tennis, skiing, sailing and camping. He could hold his breath
underwater longer than anyone, a skill he perfected
while being hazed by his fraternity brothers in a bathtub filled with ice water.
At the urging of his visionary wife, Dottie, in 1960
Dick used the money they had earmarked for a ski vacation to make a down payment on a parcel of mosquito-plagued sagebrush with a panoramic view and
a one-room log cabin near Grand Teton National Park.
Every August, Dick and Dottie made the journey to
Jackson Hole to camp with their family. They cooked
meals over an open fire, drank water fetched from
Granite Creek and bathed in an icy irrigation ditch
that runs through the property. Dick could make a
perfect egg or sourdough pancake over the morning
campfire. The property was slightly upgraded over the
years, adding running water and electricity in the ‘70s,
and became a magnet for three generations of memorable family vacations filled with hiking, fly fishing,
climbing, cocktails on the deck and yearly canoe and
backpack trips in the Tetons and Wind River Range.
Dick and Dottie canoe-camped at Leigh Lake into
their early 80s.
Dick became business manager at Sidwell Friends
School in Washington, D.C., from 1962-64, then
assumed the same role at The Thacher School in Ojai,
from 1964-69. In 1969, Dick became director of development at Abbott Academy in Andover, Mass., which
merged with Phillips Academy, Andover, in 1973. After
being named editor of the Andover Bulletin, he
famously remarked, “I didn’t used to be able to spell
‘editor’ and now I are one.”
In 1978, the Sheahans moved back to Ojai, where
Dick became director of admissions and later directed
fund raising efforts for The Thacher School Centennial
Campaign, remaining until his retirement in 1989.
One of Dick’s notorious pranks at Thacher was when
he dressed up as an old woman who was a prominent
supporter of the school. She/he addressed an allschool assembly and, to the surprise of the students,
granted them an unexpected day off from their studies. No one saw through the disguise.
At 67, Dick and Dottie moved to Wyoming full-time.
To embrace their new life, they not only bought mountain bikes, downhill skis and a canoe, but also purchased a snowmobile to access their cabin. The road
into their home was not plowed in the winter. They
had countless adventures snowmobiling or crosscountry skiing in and out of the ranch until the road
was finally plowed year-round in the mid-’90s.
During retirement, Dick served as an advisor on
various boards in Jackson including the Jackson Hole
Conservation Alliance and St. John’s Hospital. He
helped raise funds to build the Jackson Hole Senior
Center and was a regular at Rotary Club. One of Dick’s
favorite volunteer jobs was at Browse and Buy where,
much to Dottie’s chagrin, Dick regularly returned
home with a carload of “treasures” he had acquired
during his shift. At Rotary, he loved to show off his
smart, new wardrobe, all purchased from Browse and
Buy.
In the end, it is hard to imagine a world without Dick
Sheahan. He touched and brightened so many lives
and thus came to the end of his life surrounded by so
much love. We will remember Dick as a kind and
thoughtful man who was quick with a smile and some
lighthearted words of support and advice. The
Sheahan family would like to thank all the wonderful
care-givers at River Rock Assisted Living, St. John’s Living Center, Dr. Mike Menolascino and Amy Adams, all
who provided so much, compassion and care for Dick.
And of course, all were buoyed by the tremendous outpouring of love and kindness from longtime valley
friends who called and visited Dick during his final
days.
Dick is survived by his wife of 71 years, Dottie
Sheahan; daughters Kathleen Reid (Kemble White),
Susanne Wilson (Blake), Marnie Paulus (Tony), Caroline Sheahan; son Casey Sheahan (Tara); and his
grandchildren, Jennifer and Will Paulus, Caelin and
Aidan Sheahan, Carson Meyer and Jim Reid.
If you wish to make a gift in Dick’s memory, please
donate to your favorite independent school, Jackson
Hole nonprofit or Grand Teton National Park. Dick’s
memorial service will be held at St. John’s Episcopal
Church, Jackson, Wyo., at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July
23, 2014.
Troop 504 panel shares Eagle impact
Ojai’s Boy Scout Troop
504 recently held an
event titled “Eagle
Scouts — A Generational
Perspective.”
Four Eagle Scouts,
spanning 50 years of
scouting, participated
on a panel for the
scouts, their families
and scouting dignitaries. This panel, comprised of Jack Jacobs
(Eagle ‘63), Bill O’Brien
(Eagle
‘71),
Scott
McArthur (Eagle ‘87),
and Alex Moore (Eagle
‘05), provided perspective on being an Eagle
Scout and what that
means to them. The
panelists shared their
thoughts while responding to a series of
questions from troop
member
moderators
Jacob Fajardo, Kody
Hoftig, Keon Moore,
and Patrick Thurston.
The topics covered
scouting in their respective generations, earning their Eagle Badge,
and how being an Eagle
Scout has impacted
their lives.
Scoutmaster
Jerry
Thurston had the vision
for this event as a way to
bring a long-range perspective on being an
Eagle to his troop.

bridged into Troop 504
earlier this year, said afterwards. “The speakers
inspired me to help others and that service is
important. It is good to
encourage others and
support them when
they need it.”
Overall, Troop 504
learned that the life and
leadership skills required to earn Eagle
Scout are beneficial in
college and across all
career choices. Being an
Eagle Scout opens doors
and Eagle Scouts are
recognized as individuals who already know
how to lead.

went into this proposal
with Wally and Brian; the
grant was awarded and
we are now able to start
working,” said Bill Murphy, current C.R.E.W. executive director.
The C.R.E.W., working
with the Ojai Valley
Green Coalition and the
city of Ojai, restored the
west barranca in 2012,
which is upstream of
Stewart Canyon Creek.
“The Stewart Canyon
section of the creek is
particularly important
because it is the next
downstream section of
creek before joining San
Antonio Creek,” said
Murphy. “If this section
of creek is not restored,
the lower reaches of work
on San Antonio Creek
can be impacted by
downstream transport of
non-native seeds and
rhizomes.
Restoring
Stewart Canyon Creek
will connect the two
restoration efforts together, opening habitat
and creating a greater
wildlife corridor.”
Additionally, the Ventura County Watershed
Protection District has
been doing a great deal of
arundo removal along
San Antonio Creek, and
this project will tie into
that effort.
The creek area has
been overrun with several types of non-native
invasive vegetation such
as giant reed arundo,
Mexican fan palms, Himalayan
blackberry,
periwinkle, German ivy,
tree of heaven and olive.
This non-native vegetation, such as the Mexican
fan palm, crowds out the
native undergrowth and
keeps it from growing.
Additionally, some nonnative plants consume
an enormous amount of
water. By removing this
vegetation, native plants
will consume less water
and help restore the overall health of the ecosystem. “We
have
a
comprehensive restoration plan that involves a
tiered approach to replace the non-native vegetation with native plants
and trees. Trees will be
replaced on a 3-to-1
basis, meaning for every
non-native tree removed,
we will be planting three
native trees,” said Holly.
He added that some of
the types of trees will be
California
sycamore,
black walnut, willow and
coast live oak.
For this project, the
C.R.E.W. will be teaming
with Holly, the Ojai Valley
Land
Conservancy
(OVLC) and the Ojai Valley Green Coalition. The
project will provide environmental training and
paid employment to an
estimated 50 local youths
(who are predominantly
low-income and at-risk),
as well as intern opportunities for college students. This fall, after the
invasive vegetation and
non-native trees have
been removed, community volunteers along
with the OVLC will plant
native trees and vegetation throughout the
creek area.
After a thorough assessment and tagging of
trees and plants for removal, C.R.E.W. workers
began the task of removing a large patch of Himalayan blackberry to
gain an entry point into
the northern reach of the
creek. After careful removal of the blackberry,
crews noticed several
small oak tree sprouts
that were concealed
under the cover. That was
proof that the cover was
dominating the undergrowth. Now the oaks
have a much better
chance of survival.
In the two weeks of
work, there have been
more than 4 tons of
blackberry and giant
reed removed from the
creek. Debris removal
has also yielded some additional surprises. “We
have found a rusted
driveshaft, tennis balls,
an old automobile seat,
barbed wire and several
bags of trash. And we
have just started,” said
Murphy.

FREE LASER
THERAPY

OJAI VILLAGE VETERINARY HOSPITAL
OFFER EXPIRES 07/31/14 • PLEASE
PRESENT THIS SAVINGS COUPON
Ojai Village Veterinary Hospital is
proud to offer alternative treatment to
complement our conventional care.
Laser therapy is a noninvasive, painfree, surgery-free, drug-free treatment
option available for both dogs and cats.
Laser therapy is extremely effective
and in many cases is a more effective
alternative to pharmaceuticals.
Studies have shown the ability to
promote healing as much as three
times faster then conventional
treatment procedures.
PICTURED:
A Labrador
Retriever receives
laser therapy on a
cruciate ligament
suture area. The
laser treats pain
and swelling,
and speeds up
healing in soft tissues, muscle and skin. The procedure
takes only minutes, and can be a pivotal way to
help your pet return to normal activity rapidly.
Alternative Veterinary Care
Laser Therapy Treatment
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is the use of specific
wavelengths of light to treat painful
and debilitating conditions.
How does it work?
Light energy enters the damaged cells
and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This
reduces pain in the area and speeds
recovery of the damaged cells. Once the
cells recover, the healing process is
complete.
What can my pet expect
during treatment?
Laser therapy is a PAINLESS treatment
that lasts an average of 3 minutes. Your
pet may experience a comfortable
sensation at the point of application.
What can my pet expect
after treatment?
Most patients see positive results in one
to three treatments. Acute conditions can
subside with as few as one set of treatments.
Chronic conditions can be managed with
regular monthly treatment. And there
are no know negative side effects.
Often, pain medication can be reduced or
eliminated after laser therapy tratment.

Mars enters Scorpio for the nine tests
Esoteric astrology as
news for the week of July
24 through 30:
Over the years I’ve mentioned the nine tests of
Mars and Scorpio. The
tests are given to everyone
— unawakened, beginning to awaken, and the
awakened. The purpose is
to “test our strength,
courage, ability to adapt,
discriminate and have discernment — to see if we
are deceived by illusion or
are “warriors triumphant,
emerging from the battle.”
During Leo sun, we’re already experiencing life
dramatically. With Mars in
Scorpio and the nine tests
life assumes vivid, tragic,
comedic spectacularly on
the edge dimensions. We
will be “taken to task and
tested” during Mars in
Scorpio (July 27 to Sept.
14).
We’re grateful Mars isn’t
retrograde in Scorpio.
During Mars last retrograde this year in Libra
(March 1 to May 20) we
were
offered
many
choices. After the retrograde we made definite
choices.
Now
those
choices will be tested. Are
they real? Will we follow
through? Mars in Scorpio
will meet with Saturn in
Scorpio (July 25 and 26).
Saturn, the dweller on
the threshold, signifies the
ancient residues of our
past (Jung’s “shadow”). As
the dweller informs us of
patterns no longer useful,
Mars presents the nine
tests (nine-headed hydra).
They concern our person-
ality relationships with:
sex, comfort, money; fear,
hatred, love of power;
pride, separativeness and
cruelty. The questions, “Do
we have ‘right expression’
with these? Have we
strayed from the rules governing our divine design?
What is still unawakened,
uncontrolled and unconquered within us?” Simultaneously, we are asked to
make right choices and
create right relations. And
to have kindness (ahimsa)
and compassion. These
overcome all hindrances.
They help us pass the tests.
ARIES: What is your
family genealogy, your lineage, what are your cultural roots, your heritage?
Are interactions and relations with your family
good? And how are you
feeling these days? Your
energy may be high and
low, you must sleep a bit
more, tend more to family
and the home, and bring
into your environments
that which sustains, comforts, and supports you.
Moods are restrained by
work as service and exercise.
TAURUS: You may be
thinking of past relationships and friends, which
bring you to assessing
your self-worth and what
you value about yourself.
You find that you must
continue with plans for
community development
and its direction, new
neighborhoods based on
community ideals and the
new architecture. Communication between diverse factions may be
needed. Notice any values
conflicts. What is right beside you is most important.
GEMINI: Finances, as
usual. A new beginning, a
reorientation or a re-evaluation financially will be
considered. Changes are
occurring fast and furiously. You must keep up
for you are a major
spokesperson. A smaller
reality must fall away so
you can embrace a larger
one. Usually you’re silent
about such things. Who do
you talk with now? The
soul is brightening each
day, calling your personality to evaluate.
CANCER: A new beginning is occurring — a new
self-identity, a new seed
planted in your heart and
mind. You sense and feel
this. Forces and energies
unknown yet fully present
call you to a greater mobility and self-discovery. Perhaps it concerns where
you live and your present
daily work. You have/will
become more accepting,
which increases self-acceptance and self-worth.
Something ends as something much greater begins.
LEO: First a review of
your career path and then
spiritual beliefs, upbringing and remembering. The
question arises, “What is
most important in my
life?” You will re-commit to
something, someplace or
someone from long ago.
This surprises you. You’re
gradually learning from
(and listening to) others.
They have loved you for
years, ages, eons from afar.

a bit, leading to a new direction in life. Something
dramatic and different occurred around work — or
will. As time passes you’ll
understand the opportunity this provided. If you
could do anything you
wanted concerning the future, what would that be?
SAGITTARIUS: Unexpected events will influence your dream world,
intuition, and the place
where inspiration comes
from. You will want to review and tend to finances.
It’s important to know
what your relationship is
with money, past, present
and future. This will
change, too. Also, someone or something may
come along soon and from
this encounter, revelations
occur. You need some. Be
charming and observing at
the same time.
CAPRICORN:
Allow
yourself to rest more this
week. Don’t overwork. If
you do something may
catch you off guard, you
may forget things, tend to
too many details that exhaust. You may argue
yourself to distraction. Tell
everyone you need extra
help. Create an agenda of
tasks for others to do.
Allow (and expect) them to
perform those tasks. Then
give them stars. In the
meantime, read, lay about
and languish a bit.
AQUARIUS: At first the
days and week feel uncontrollable, then surprising
and uncertain. Then you
realize life is changing at
such a rapid pace that you
may as well be excited
about it. This response expands your imagination
and vision, elevates and
vivifies your life force, and
you feel divinely connected to all forms of life,
all planes and kingdoms.
This, by the way, is joy, a
quality of the soul. Now
you can nourish others
with it.
PISCES: You will begin
to see things, life’s events,
choices, in a new light,
with clearer perception.
This will be good. You will
learn to not turn away
when upset or sad but to
turn toward and make
amends. You will also
begin to have faith in the
future, something you
haven’t had for a long time
(years). Something will
occur that changes you —
a gift, a task, recognition, a
new role, a person, an
idea, a state of grace, a
prayer.

What does your heart tell
you? Who do you love?
VIRGO: You will enter
into regions of the mind
not often explored and
discover over time what
needs elimination in terms
of past ideas and beliefs
and what new regions of
thought need developing.
Hidden aspects of self will
be encountered. Simply
observe. The world now is
filled with endings and
new beginnings. You, a
writer, should by now have
a retrograde journal,
dream journal, eclipse
journal, transit journal, esoteric teachings journal —
all organized.
LIBRA: There may be
conflicts between previous
choices you made and
choices others have made,
between past and present
ways of being. Holding
onto the past is of comfort.
Yet you want also to move
forward. It’s difficult doing
both. Perhaps you can review why you made certain decisions years ago
separating you from certain situations and people.
Life often brings forth surprising thoughts, ideas,
events and life changes.
The idea of forgiveness
and inclusion produce liberation.
SCORPIO: Bold and expansive steps may be
taken in areas of study,
ideas, education and your
career. You may even travel

Meet your Merchants: Angels 4 Autism Thrift Store, Oak View
• Business: Angels 4
Autism Thrift Store, established April 1, 2014
• Owners: Cynthia
He r n a n d e z - B a l l u c h
and Tessie Morgan
• How did you get
into this business and
why? “The building was
vacant and the Morgans asked if I would
like to open a thrift
store with the proceeds
going to autism,” said
Cynthia HernandezBalluch. “I was thrilled
to be able to help others and hopefully help
others
understand
autism a little better.
God just opened the
doors and we have
been blessed to have so
many giving people
who have donated so
many lovely things.”
• Share your background: “My first job
many years ago was in
retail,” Hernandez-Balluch explained. “I have
a degree in counseling
and I feel it comes into
use here at the store. I
am able to relate and
understand
where
many of my customers
are coming from. It is a
friendship not just an
owner/customer experience.”
• Memorable business moments: “After
talking to a customer in
“… we have been
blessed to have
so many giving
people who have
donated so many
lovely things.”
— Cynthia HernandezBalluch, owner
the store I walked her
out and told her to
come by or call at any
time,” Hernandez-Bal-
luch said. “She looked
at me and said, ‘You
truly are an angel,
aren’t you?’”
• What makes your
business stand out?
“We have a cause and
are giving back to our
community.
People
need to understand or
know they can get information to understand autism and not
look at those with it
harshly. I have had several parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles,
friends and neighbors
come in and tell me
about the people they
know with autism and
how special they are in
is not a lack of parenting skills as many believe,”
HernandezBalluch shared. “I am a
people person and love
to talk to all that enter
the store. Even though
we have only been
open a short time I
have met some very
wonderful people (and)
friends.”

Hernandez-Balluch.”
• Tell us about yourself: “I am a mom of an
autistic boy. He is high
functioning but still has
many challenges. I

Troop introduces new Ojai Valley branch managers
CEO Brian Troop and
President Laura Lee Anthony are proud to have
Dale King and Stuart
Monteith on board as
the new Ojai Valley
branch managers.
Together for 19 years,
partners for seven years
and married for two
years, King and Monteith bring more than 60
years of combined real
estate experience as a
professional
Realtor
team. Monteith used to
live in Upper Ojai and
was able to watch the
valley grow and transform; and now they live
on the west edge of
Santa Paula. They both
joined Troop Real Estate
about five years ago because of the training and
dedication to its agents.
“Troop Real Estate demands the highest standards in knowledge,
education, ethics and
honesty which mirror
my requirements in
business,” said Monteith. “The services,
tools and desire to see
their agents succeed
make working with
Troop a great opportunity.”
Both King and Monteith have earned Realtor of the Year awards for
Ventura County, and
have served as president
of the Ventura County
Association of Realtors,
which
make
them
strong managers for the
Ojai Valley branch.
“Troop is large enough
to have a strong organization,
but
small
enough to be flexible
and responsive to indi-
vidual associates and individual
community
markets,” said King.
“That is the ‘sweet spot’
for a company, and
Troop hits it on the
nose.”
In their spare time,
King and Monteith
enjoy spending time
with their children and
grandchildren, golfing,
gardening and cooking.

Gridiron Club golf event raises
much-needed funding for NHS
Mike Miller
[email protected]
The Nordhoff Ranger
Gridiron Club played
host to 72 golfers last
Sunday at the club’s annual golf fundraising
event. According to tournament organizer and
assistant coach Don Rodarte, the team led by
local business owners
and Nordhoff supporters, Dave Skaggs and
Steve Perry, won the
tournament in a cart off.
“We raised a good
amount of money, which
will really help our program,” said Rodarte.
The day started out
with this year’s players
greeting the golfers and
carrying their golf bags
to the clubhouse. Then
an army of volunteers
helped with check-in
and other essential
tasks. “When I was addressing the golfers just
before tee off, I told
them something Erik
(Monson) and I talked
about recently. Earlier
this summer he asked
where we get money for
all the stuff that is
needed during the season if the school doesn’t
have it. That is when I
told Erik that he has chosen a great community
to come to because even
though we are small, we
all come together to get
the job done. After looking at the crowd of
golfers, he got it,” added
Rodarte.
The Gridiron Club
wishes to thank all the
golfers and especially
the sponsors that helped
put the annual event together. Rodarte noted
the contributions of Paradise, JJ'S Sports Zone,
HJB-Hunter
Jacob
Baugher
Scholarship
Fund, WESTCO, Ranch
House, ARTA, Oak View
Shell, and Ojai Print
Works. “A big thank-you
goes out to Soule Park
for working with us so
well as well as Ojai Valley
Inn & Spa for their contributions,” said Rodarte.
Rodarte concluded by
saying, “This will get us
started and ready for another successful year of
Nordhoff football. We
only have four home
games this year and five
when you count us getting a playoff game, so
we need all the attendance we can get in that
stadium. We will not disappoint.”
The Rangers will get
back to action Aug. 6 in
anticipation of their season opener Aug. 29 at
Channel Islands.
The Gridiron Club will
also be hosting events
later this summer, including their annual
Casino Night. See future
editions of the Ojai Valley News for updates on
those events.

McClung notches first Front Nine victory
Shirley McClung recently won the Front Nine mini-tournament at Soule Park. Ronnie Rodriguez came in second, and Mitnee Duque finished third. McClung’s new
driver made the difference as she claimed her first Front Nine victory. For longest
drive, Debra Main hit her shot 188 yards on the fourth hole, while Peggy Brown
drove hers 167 yards. The fewest putts contest went to Carole Borland and Susan
Edge with 16 each. The low gross of the day went to Duque with a 47.
Last Monday, the Soule
Park Senior Men’s Golf
Club held an individual
low gross-low net event
as part of their weekly
competition schedule. As
always, the competition
was tight and several
players carded low scores
on the day.
In the low gross flights,
Todd Tanner won flight
one with a 1-under-par
71. George Lawhead won
the second flight with a
solid 76. Gary Markley
finished the day in first
place in the third flight
with an 84.
Leading the way in
flight four was Richard
McArthur, with 83. Pete
Conforti won the fifth
flight of the day with a
final score of 92.
In the low net flights,
Bill Wood won flight one
after shooting a 66. Barry
Long was second, just
two shots back, with a 68.
Flight two had a firstplace tie between Al
Gross and Joe Garcia.
Both Gross and Garcia
came back to the clubhouse with a 64.
In the third flight, Dale
Babcock carded a 62
which was good enough
for first place, and Alex
Doran came in second
with a 66.
Flight four was led by
Len Block's 60 while Rich
Plain was second, with
final score of 66.
The Soule Park Senior
Men's Golf Club holds
events on Mondays with
a 7:30 a.m. shotgun start.
Interested men 55 or over
are encouraged to join
the fun and friendly competition and players of all
skill levels are welcome to

Flowers will perform free Libbey Bowl concert
Rachel Flowers was
born 15 weeks early
and weighted only 1
pound, 5 ounces. She
lost her eyesight at 3
months due to
Retinopathy of
Prematurity.
When she was 2, her
mother showed her
how to play "Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star” on
the piano. She picked
up the melody
immediately and was
soon playing every song
she heard by ear. The
child had perfect pitch.
Now a multi-talented
instrumentalist and
composer, the 20-yearold Flowers lives in
Oxnard with her
younger brother,
Vaughan, and her
mother, Jeanie, a singer
and musician. Her
father, Dan Flowers,
also is a musician.
Flowers will perform
a free concert at Libbey
Bowl in Ojai that will be
filmed as part of the
documentary “Rachel
Flowers – Hearing is
Believing.” The concert
will be from 6:30 to 8:30
p.m. and the public is
invited.

Cast of ‘Carousel’ fills theater with magic
Richard Camp
contributor
It may be July but it’s
June that’s “bustin’ out
all over” at the Ojai Art
Center Theater in its
production of one of
the world’s most
beloved musicals,
“Carousel.”
A cast of 33, directed
by Tracey Williams
Sutton, seems plugged
into an invisible power
pack that continually
recharges, filling the
theater with dancing,
drama, comedy and
rousing renditions of
such classics as “If I
Loved You” and the
powerful anthem
“You’ll Never Walk
Alone.”
The theatrical magic
begins in the opening
“Carousel Waltz.”
Dancers turn into
townspeople and
“horses” and — with a
little fabric, lighting
and music — a carnival
carousel appears
before your eyes.
Kudos to set designer
Neva Williams and
costume designer
Susan Pennington.
And that music!
Musical directors Andy
Street, Sabastien
Montgomerie and
Williams Sutton
deserve an arpeggio of
applause for making
the songs sing, and for
making two keyboards,
a violin and a clarinet
fill the room nearly as
well as an orchestra.
For those new to the
story, it’s 1873 in
Maine, where a freshfaced young girl named
Julie (Haley Yanez) falls
in love with carnival
roustabout Billy
Bigelow (Kieran
Culliton). Billy’s
jealous boss Mrs.
Mullin (Laura Ring)
fires him. He fathers a
daughter with Julie
and, needing money, is
conned into a robbery
scheme by the blackclothed, black-hearted
blackguard named
Jigger (Armando
Hernandez).
Adding to the small
town charm is Julie’s
best friend, Carrie,
(Audrey Pennington)
who’s in love with Mr.
Snow (David Stewart),
who may as well be
named Mr. Nice Guy,
and boarding house
“den mother” Nettie
(Marisa Miculian).
It’s a tale of
waywardness, life,
death and redemption,
with a side-trip to
heaven where Billy is
given a second chance
by Starkeeper, (John
Hankins). Plus, there’s
vibrant ballet and
theatrical dancing,
choreographed by
Anna Kotula and
Beverly Sharpe, who
have risen to the
formidable task of
imitating the
inimitable Agnes
DeMille, the musical’s
original
choreographer.
“Carousel” ends with
a church-like choir
singing “You’ll Never
Walk Alone,” a paean
to eternal love, life and
community… and
producer Herb
Hemming has brought
together a community
of actors, singers and
dancers who invite you
in for a merry “goround” on this
Carousel of Life.
The magic appears
through Aug. 10 at 8
p.m. Fridays and
Saturdays and 2 p.m.
Sundays on the Ojai
ACT stage, 113 S.
Montgomery St.
Tickets are $25
general admission or
$20 for seniors,
students and Art
Center members.
Reservations can be
made at www.OjaiACT
.org or by calling 6408797.

Tedeschi Trucks to perform at Vina Robles
The Tedeschi Trucks
Band, with special
guest Jackie Greene,
will perform at the Vina
Robles Amphitheatre
Aug. 9 at 8 p.m.
The band is coming
off of a year in which
the 11-piece juggernaut
led by husband/wife
duo Derek Trucks and
Susan Tedeschi
released a charttopping third album,
welcomed a new
bassist and played
headline slots across
the globe.
Just four years since
its inception, Tedeschi
Trucks Band has
already released three
critically acclaimed and
commercially
successful albums. Its
debut, “Revelator,”
produced at the
couple’s Swamp Raga
home studio, earned a
Grammy, while 2011’s
dynamic live follow-up,
“Everybody’s Talkin’,”
delivered a brilliant
double-disc classic
capturing the band’s
incendiary
musicianship on stage.
Reconvening at Swamp
Raga, the band
followed up with 2013’s
“Made Up Mind,”
hailed by Rolling Stone
as “equal parts Stax
and Muscle Shoals
without dilution of
either.”
Prior to forming TTB,
Trucks, as one of the
most respected
guitarists of his
generation, maintained
a membership since
1999 with The Allman
Brothers Band, toured
with Eric Clapton and
Carlos Santana, and,
for over 15 years,
helmed the Grammywinning Derek Trucks
Band. Additionally as
the youngest musician
to make the list, Trucks
was voted No. 16 of the
top 100 Guitarists of All
Time (Rolling Stone November 2011) by a
panel of fellow
musicians and industry
experts. Joining him at
center stage is
Massachusetts native
Tedeschi. She is a
singer blessed with a
voice that ranges from
commanding R&B
belters to gentle
ballads. She has led a
prolific solo career full
of award-winning
records, six Grammy
nominations and is
talented guitarist in her
own right. Her style
alternately recalls postwar electric blues and
Hendrix-inspired rock.
Easily capable of
shining as individuals,
this ensemble of 11 is
concerned more with
the sound than the
spotlight. Sharing a
level of respect and
camaraderie rarely
found in rock and roll,
Tedeschi Trucks Band
has found a magical
combination that
delivers nightly an
unforgettable evening
of music.
The evening’s special
guest, Greene began
his career in his midteens working the bar
and open-mic circuit in
and around his
hometown of
Sacramento. He
released his acousticlaced breakthrough,
“Gone Wonderin’” in
2002, and followed it
with “Rusty Nails” and
“Sweet Somewhere
Bound.” In 2005, he
contributed to the
Oscar-winning
“Brokeback Mountain”
soundtrack, and a year
later he issued his
critically acclaimed
Verve debut,
“American Myth.”
Greene’s career took
an unexpected turn
that year when he
joined Phil & Friends,
thrusting him in front
of a new audience of
music listeners and
fastidious Deadheads.
In 2008, Greene
released “Giving Up
The Ghost” and “Small
Tempest,” an EP of
originals, quickly
followed.
In 2010, he dropped
another EP of Grateful
Dead covers, and in the
same year his solo and
Deadhead worlds
converged on “Till the
Light Comes.” In 2013,
Greene was asked to
join The Black Crowes
for their epic
worldwide tour. In
2014, with the Crowes
tour behind him,
Greene has his eye set
on a new solo album,
his first in four years,
and hitting the road
again as the Jackie
Greene Band.
Tickets for the event,
at the Vina Robles
Amphitheatre range
from $30 to $75, plus
applicable service
charges. The Vina
Robles Amphitheatre is
at 3800 Mill Road in
Paso Robles.
Tickets are available
at all Ticketmaster
outlets including the
Vina Robles

a.m. to 3 p.m.

and Saturdays. Order
