Dozers and backhoes
were busy this week as construction got under way in
Ojai on the long-awaited
Craftsman Village. “We're
digging trenches for plumbing and grading off areas for
concrete,” said Aaron Emery,
owner of the Santa Claritabased Emery Construction,
the builder contracted for the
project. The concrete, he said,
would probably be poured by
Oct. 13.
“It's been a long time
coming,” said Rick Nielsen.
“We're really excited to finally
be here.” Nielsen and business partner David Schuman
are the principals in Raven

the forthcoming mixed-use

were cut at 611 Pearl St.
“For three years now,
we've been saying 'soon, very
soon,'” Schuman said. But
Raven Ridge is thoroughgoing when it comes to planning, he added. The process
of permitting and fine-tuning
the logistics was not some-

Shangri La files suit against county
Bill Warner
[email protected]
The Shangri La Care Cooperative (SLCC) is striking
back at the Ventura County
Sheriff's Office (VCSO) and
the county of Ventura. A petition for writ of mandamus,
filed Oct. 7 in Ventura Superior Court, seeks return of
and redress for property lost
or destroyed subsequent to a
series of VCSO raids on SLCC
holdings in 2015 and 2016. As
respondents, the suit included VCSO, the county of Ventura and Does 1 to 10.
“Shangri La is not going
anywhere, and it's certainly
not going quietly,” SLCC cofounder Jeff Kroll said Oct. 11.
“And with this filing, we hope
that people feel more encouraged to come forward and
share their stories of how the
VCSO actions have impacted
their lives.”
Kroll was one of three
men associated with the
Ojai-based cooperative who
were arrested April 14 on a
variety of charges related to
the operation of the not-forprofit business that provides
its members with medicinal
products derived from cannabis. SLCC has been inoperative ever since.
"The actions of the county were taken when its deputies knew Shangri La operates
in accordance with the law,”
said Matthew Pappas, the
Mission Viejo-based attorney
handling the case on behalf
of SLCC. “The charges filed,
after claims for damages were
made, were retaliatory. Police

Sentiment towards sediment may be changing
Bill Warner
[email protected]
A more precise estimate
of how much sediment has
collected at the bottom of
Lake Casitas and how much
water might really be left in
Lake Casitas could be forthcoming.
Steve Wickstrum, general manager of the Casi-
92,456 Acre feet
36.4 percent
tas Municipal Water District
(CMWD), said he would present District's Executive Committee with a proposal for
a bathymetric survey of the
lake. If accepted by the Committee, the proposal could
appear as an agenda item
when the CMWD Board of
Directors meets Oct. 26.
“We've got people who
are pretty concerned about
just how much water is left,”
Wickstrum said Oct. 10. “And
there's also the need to know
just what we're working
with.”
Bathymetry refers to the
study and measurement of
the depth of water bodies, in
this case the bottom of Lake
Casitas. The amount of sedimentation on the lake bottom is the main factor the
survey would assess. If there
has been a lot over the years,
that would mean less water in
the lake than the 92,964 acrefeet thought to be there.
It's an idea recently presented to the Board of Directors by Ojai Valley resident
Angelo Spandrio. “All reservoirs are destined to fail evenSee Sediment, Page A7
Two developers have
their eyes on the Ojai Unified
School District's (OUSD) 414
E. Ojai Ave. property — the
current home of Chaparral
High School, A Place to Grow
Preschool and the OUSD offices. OUSD's 7-11 Committee's recommendation to
lease or develop the 414 E.
Ojai Ave. property has now
come to the forefront.
Ted Moore, owner of E.F.
Moore & Company in Ojai,
has proposed to convert the
property to a mixed use space
that would include 50 to 75
“affordable by design” apartments along with office and
retail space.
Moore's proposal states
that the Skateboard Park is
“here to stay.” He proposes
making the park a project feature, suggesting an “outdoor
quick-serve eating/seating
area behind it so diners could
watch the kids perform.”
The proposal also suggests keeping the Chaparral Auditorium as a potential
community center, but admits that may not be feasible.
Moore suggests the auditorium could also be converted
to a bank or a restaurant.
Moore's final suggestion
is “no hotels. (They) would be
opposed in the community
and generate more tourist
traffic,” he wrote.
A competing proposal,
from New York hotelier and
Turtle Conservancy founder
Eric Goode would do just
that. Goode and his colleagues propose to repurpose
the property into an “accessible and welcoming hotel
that’s integrated into the vibrant life of downtown Ojai.”
“It would offer a farm to
table communal restaurant,
bookstore/newsstand, vegetable garden, open spaces
for local events, communal
bikes, etc.,” he wrote.
Goode said he is committed to maintaining the historic integrity of the property.
He also states such a project
would contribute significantly to Ojai's general fund.

Simi motorcyclist dies in
Highway 33 crash

A traffic collision on
Highway 33 took the life of a
Ventura County motorcyclist
Oct. 8.
According to Rolando
Tejeda, information officer
for the California Highway
Patrol (CHP), the incident
took place at approximately
7:50 p.m. south of Oak View,
when a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe was struck by a 2003
Harley-Davidson motorcycle
traveling north on Highway
33.
The Hyundai, he said,
was in the process of turning left from Creek Road into
the southbound lane of Highway 33 when the motorcycle
struck it broadside.
The motorcyclist, Ronald Anthony Anderson, 27, of
Simi Valley, was transported

Martha R. King
Martha R. King, a resident of Ojai since
1986, passed away peacefully September
29, 2016. She was 88 years old. “Martie”
as she was fondly known, was born in
Rochester, N.Y., April 12, 1928, to Margaret
A. and John W. Remington.
After graduating from high school at
Walnut Hill in Massachusetts, Martie
returned to Rochester. She married John
A. King III on June 17, 1949 in Rochester, surrounded by family
and friends. They started raising their family in Rochester.
In 1965 Martie, John and their four children moved to
Pasadena, Calif., so that John could join the Southern California
Permanente Medical Group affiliated with Kaiser Foundation
Hospitals. Upon John’s retirement from Kaiser in 1986, he and
Martie moved to Ojai.
In addition to dedicating her life to John and their children,
Martie was committed to helping others through community
and nonprofit organizations. She was involved in All Saints
Church, Junior League, St. Andrew’s Church, the Ojai Valley
Garden Club and numerous other organizations in Pasadena
and Ojai.
Martie is survived by sons Andy King and Michael King (and
wife Alice), and daughters Debbie Donahue and Cyndy King.
Also surviving are grandchildren Michele Donahue Stoebner
(and husband Terry Stoebner), Kathleen King (and wife April
Tvorak), Andrea Tyrrell (and husband Stephen Tyrrell), Andrew
King, Patrick King and Caitlyn Donahue, as well as greatgrandchildren Brandon, Claire, and Quinn Stoebner, and

Constance “Connie” Johnson passed
away peacefully at the age of 95 on October
2, 2016, surrounded by her family. She was
born in Minneapolis, Minn., on February
25, 1921, and was raised in Erwin, S.D.
She taught in a one-room schoolhouse
for several years before marrying the love
of her life, Johnny, on August 29, 1945. For the first 10 years of
their marriage, they farmed in eastern South Dakota, where
their daughters, Marcy and Kathy, were born. They moved to
the Black Hills to operate the How Dee Do Motel and added
two more daughters, LuAnn and Lana. In 1960 they moved their
family to Ojai, Calif., and lived there for more than 50 years.
Connie moved to Vista del Monte in Santa Barbara four years
ago where she received loving support and care.
Her passions centered around her family. She loved sewing,
crafts, camping, nature, and helping others. Johnny was an avid
fisherman, and Connie was famous for her expert fish-fileting
skills! They spent 10 wonderful summers as campground hosts
near Mount Rushmore. They also volunteered countless hours
at Noah’s Ark Preschool and Isla Vista Youth Projects. She was a
devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.
She is survived by her daughters, Marcy Owens (Bob) of Los
Osos, Kathleen Wilson-Terry (Mike) of Avila Beach, LuAnn Miller
(Bill) of Goleta, and Lana Arnold (Rus) of Oliver, Ga. She was
“Mimi” to Steve Wilson (Kammi), Ryan Miller (Jenna), Nathan
Miller, Tyler and Tanner Starbard, and Naomi, Zachary and
Madison Arnold. She was blessed with two great-grandsons,
Wyatt and Walker Wilson. She was preceded in death by her
loving husband of 62 years, Clifford “Johnny” Johnson.
Connie will be dearly missed, but we are grateful for sharing a
life well lived and a woman well loved.
A memorial service will be held Sunday, October 16, at 1 p.m.
at Goleta Presbyterian Church. The family requests that in lieu
of flowers, donations be made to Isla Vista Youth Projects in Isla
Vista.

FEATURED LETTER by Andrew Eaton, Sophia Fung and Sam Richardson, The Thacher School students
To be taken seriously, students should not act as if we have been coddled
This letter is in response to a
Huffington Post article titled “College Students are Sooo Sensitive.”
Student activism regarding racial injustice on college campuses
is a widely covered issue, as protesting students are often portrayed
as “coddled, privileged, (and)
wholly lacking in resilience.”
Unfortunately, this label may
help allow colleges and universities to dismiss students’ calls for
justice. In order to advocate and
generate support for their social
justice causes, it’s important for
students to avoid appearing as such
(coddled, etc.) when presenting
themselves so that it is impossible
for universities to not take them seriously as they have so often done,
Letters to the Editor
We need options for
the thirsty elephant
C.L. ATKINSON, Ojai
Thanks to all for the
insightful reporting and letters regarding the Sept. 22
Drought Summit. Thanks
to CMWD for informing the
public of the current situation.
I am finally glad to hear
comments regarding the
“thirsty elephant in the
room.” This issue keeps me
awake nights wondering if
we will have our thriving valley in three years or will it be
a sea of “For Sale” signs with
no buyers because we did
not think clearly and decisively when we should have?
Casitas Municipal Water
District needs to put some
real options on the table for
the customers in this valley
and be very public about it.
We are out of time for longterm discussions and the
task force suggested by L.
Webster is at least a viable
option to recommend some
real and timely solutions we
can began to act on, not just
endless discussion.
We should be asking
weekly in the paper, what is
being done and soliciting for
viable ideas. I don’t want to
see another year go by without some real solutions to
solve this challenge. We just
don’t have that luxury anymore. Let’s get real plan(s) in
place.
Symbolic gesture is
better than nothing
HELENE VACHET, Ojai
It would seem a nobrainer that all kind and
civic-minded people would
support low-cost housing in
Ojai. What objection could
anyone with a conscience
possibly have? The problem
is that there isn’t enough
water for the people living in
Ojai beyond the next three to
four years unless immediate
action is taken.
Have you seen Lake Casitas recently? I had breakfast
there two weeks ago, and
although I heard that it was
low, it was still profoundly
shocking to actually see it.
Pete Kaiser, board president of the Casitas Municipal
Water District, said, “Worstcase scenario, Lake Casitas
will be a mudhole in just over
four years.”
Still, many people do not
believe in global warming.
However, you explain rising
temperatures, they do cause
greater evaporation and
thirst. In 1986, we had only
one day of 100-degree weather in Ojai. Just looking at June
and July, in 2015 the National
Weather service counted
seven days over 100 degrees
and in 2016, nine days.
Also, we are still sending
a significant portion of our
water to Ventura. We need to
stop sending Ventura water and use that pipeline, if
possible, to bring additional
water to Ojai. The Ventura
County Star said in April that
about 75 percent of Ventura
County’s population gets
imported water through
Calleguas Municipal Water
District, and it is understood
that they are looking for
other sources.
The current Council of
Ojai didn’t even vote to impose a moratorium on new
construction until this matter has been fully explored.
Only Betsy Clapp voted for
the moratorium. Kudos to
her! The other council members said that the moratorium wouldn’t make much
difference! Obviously, they
do not understand the power
of symbolism. At least, it

What have they
done for us lately?
DEBORAH MOE, Ojai
I’ve seen lots of stuff regarding the upcoming election and I’d like to express
myself to the people of Ojai.
When you have someone
running for public office,
you’d think they would be
involved in the issues surrounding Ojai.
My vote is for Paul Blatz.
He has been on the Council for many years and has
been involved in the reconstruction of the Pergola, the
blighted building ordinance,
the cell tower fiasco, as well
as serving on the Libbey
Bowl Committee. Mr. Blatz
was also a home host for Ojai
F.L.O.W., which is fighting
Golden State Water.
When you have a candidate that used to be city
manager from 1970 to 1973,
that’s all well and good, but
I have to ask myself: Where
has he been for the last 43
years? I asked someone this
and the reply I got was, “He
had a job.”
Well, Paul Blatz is a local attorney, works full time
and still has had time to be
involved in the heart of Ojai’s
business and a continuous
volunteer for local committees that matter. I want
someone who is involved,
not someone who touts
long-ago actions. People
have tried to sway my decision and I love the fact that
we can agree to disagree. Isn’t
that what democracy is all
about?

Critical leadership decisions for our Ojai community
will soon be happening on
Nov. 8. There is none more
important than the mayoral
election.
Johnny Johnston is the
person we need to effectively lead our City Council
and community through
the thicket of issues facing
Ojai. Wisely, he has correctly

identified our No. 1 issue and
priority — water.
When I was the director
of the Ventura County office
of the University of California Cooperative Extension, I
reported to the county CEO.
Of the several CEOs I knew
during my 25-year service,
none was more capable or
effective than Johnny Johnston. He led the county during some very difficult times
and put the county back on
a sound and healthy footing. He was able to quickly
grasp complex situations
that oftentimes involve many
players, build consensus
and lead effectively. He is an
outstanding leader of the
highest integrity whose skills
and capacity we desperately
need now.
Aside from his impeccable credentials, he has
been a longtime resident of
the valley (45 years) and he
cares deeply about the health
and well-being of our community. The great essayist,
poet and farmer, Wendell
Berry, delivered the prestigious Jefferson Lecture a
few years ago. It was titled,
“It All Turns on Affection.”
Berry spoke about the virtue
of local values and caring for
the land and how one first
needs to have affection for a
place to really make a difference. Johnny Johnston has
that affection for Ojai and he
possesses the experience and
values necessary to preserve
what we know to be special
about this place.
Given the time and
circumstances we are in, we
are so fortunate to have the
opportunity to elect Johnny
Johnston for mayor.
Candidate’s actions
cloud his claims
CRAIG BEAM, Ojai
Based on over 40 years’
experience working as an attorney with cities throughout
California, I found the handling of the city manager’s
contract by the City Council
sound and clearly in the best
interests of the citizens of
Ojai.
After seven and a-half
years of service to our community, Steve McClary has
earned a reputation of being
accessible, receptive, and
thoroughly responsive to
issues of civic concern. He is
one of the best managers I
have known.
Suggestions by Mayoral
Candidate Johnny Johnston
that the Council was somehow acting improperly in
approving Mr. McClary’s
three-year contract absent
some type of “public inter-
We live in a climate today where
racial tensions run high. This is
especially visible in the isolated
communities of college campuses.
Students and administrators
don’t have to agree upon these issues, however for change to occur,
they must remain receptive to each
other’s point of view.
view process” or RFP solicitation makes little sense under
the circumstances of Steve
McClary’s tenure of service
and interaction with all.
Council clearly recognizes that performance of the
city manager directly reflects
on them and have taken this
under consideration in his
performance reviews.
Mr. Johnston’s interruptions of the Council’s
proceedings during their
deliberations do not give the
public reason for comfort
that we will have orderly
Council meetings if he is
elected. He misstated the
manner in which “small city
managers” are generally
hired which calls into question the near-term relevance
of his work in a huge county
bureaucracy. I was embarrassed that our city was witness to a demonstration of
poor manners, involving his
shouting advice from the audience to the Council while
in they were in deliberation
of a pending Council motion.
Promises that he is going
to, in effect, “take charge of
the city” if elected and single-handedly “going to make
Ojai great again” echoes the
types of claims far too familiar from some candidates
seeking national office, who
do not know the limitations
of authority of the office. His
rhetoric unfortunately seems
to mirror national political
themes, which sound like
“Only I can fix the mess we’re
in” and “I know more than
the generals.” Surely Ojai can
expect better of our own.
The first responsibility of
a general law city mayor is
to ensure that the points of
view of other council members and all members of the
public are considered and
incorporated into deliberations leading to Council decisions. The mayor also has
the burden of understanding
the legal rules governing the
actions of a small city. These
responsibilities are currently
being carried out well.
Two candidates
stand out to me
RIKKI HORNE, Ojai
There is an important
school board race in Ojai this
season and all the registered
voters of the Ojai Valley (from
parts of Oak View to the Upper Ojai) get to participate.
There are a lot of you
out there who have the good
fortune to be able to vote
in this election and you can
vote for two candidates. My
choices are Shelly Griffen
and Thayne Whipple.
Thayne is the incumbent
and I saw the excellent job he
did while I served with him
and since my retirement.
Shelly will be new to the
school board, but not to our
schools. She currently has
three students in the district, at Topa Topa, Matilija
and Nordhoff and a college
student who studied in the
district’s schools.
Why vote for Shelly?
1) Passion for and handson experience with public
education in Ojai: Shelly
brings the perspective of a
dedicated parent and community member who cares
about all the children in our
schools. She has worked in
the classrooms, at the school
sites and on an important
districtwide committee. She
has respect for and from our
teachers, staff, parents and
families.
2) Community and
board experience: Shelly has
served on the board of our
Ojai Valley Library Friends
and Foundation for over 10
years. Most recently she was
involved in Ojai getting a
community room added to
the expansion of our used
bookstore at the library.
3) Not afraid of numbers:
Professionally, Shelly works
with numbers. She keeps
books for more than one
business and is familiar with
budgetary terms and practices. A big part of serving
on the school board is working with budgets. Shelly’s
background gives her a head
start in understanding public
school finance.
I look for passion, authenticity and someone willing to listen before making a
decision. I look for valuable
experience and a commitment to our students and our
community. In Shelly Griffen
I find all of that and more.
Please join me in voting
for Shelly Griffen and Thayne
Whipple for the Ojai Unified
School District Board.

Ojai reminded of its ties to Haiti in wake of Hurricane Matthew
Andra Belknap
[email protected]
Andrew MacCalla flew to
Haiti Oct. 11 to participate in
relief efforts in the wake of
Hurricane Matthew, the category four storm that hit Haiti's western peninsula Oct. 4.
MacCalla, an Ojai resident, serves as the Santa Barbara-based non-profit Direct
Relief's director of emergency
preparedness and response.
“We will focus on how we
can support the hospitals and
the clinics and health centers,” he said.
350,000 Haitians have
been displaced as a result of
the hurricane, and many do
not have homes to return to,
said MacCalla.
Direct Relief will transport sorely-needed medications and medical supplies;
it is one of the few humanitarian organizations licensed
to carry prescription medications, he said.
“Really the focus is on
cholera for the most part,”
said MacCalla. “It tends to
flare up when access to clean
water becomes an issue.”
The highly contagious
waterborne disease can become deadly within hours if
it's not properly treated, according to Direct Relief.
Direct Relief is partnering
with FedEx to ship rehydration fluids, antibiotics and
other medications to Haiti.
Much of the country's transportation infrastructure was
damaged during the hurricane, hence the need for air
transport.
“I went down after the
earthquake in 2010 and lived
down there for about a year
and a half,” said MacCalla,
who wants to remind fellow
Ojai community members
that there is still tremendous
need for aid in the country.
“People feel like they've
given a lot to Haiti, and they
have, but there is still so
much to do,” he said, noting
that Haiti is experiencing 80
percent unemployment and
hasn't had a functioning gov-

Vance and Cheryl Simms,
an Ojai couple who founded
the Changing Tides Orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti, are also
monitoring the situation.
The orphanage is housed
approximately 50 miles from
where the hurricane made
landfall. The 18 residents
were unharmed.
“We just moved into a
new building in May and
the building did great,” said
Vance, who constructed the
building himself.
“We're lucky to have that
new building,” he added,
noting that a direct hit could
have taken its roof off.
Ojai residents helped
fund the orphanage's new
home, confirmed Vance, who
shared that Changing Tides
raised approximately $20,000
during a recent fundraiser.
The funds will support the
organization's general fund
and provide for additional
work on the new building.
Vance travels to Jacmel
once a month and plans to do
service work with a group of
friends and colleagues in the
coming weeks, he said.
MacCalla estimates that
approximately 90 percent of
Haitians who live along the
coast lost their homes during
the storm. The roofs are typically constructed with tin
sheeting, he said.
“Those are just blown off.
The houses are the first to go
in this kind of situation,” he
said.
Vance experienced a category one hurricane during
a trip to Haiti two years ago.
The memory that sticks with
him is the sound of tin being
thrown in the wind, he said.

merous green features have

a rain garden and subsurface
water-retention reservoir fed
by a bioswale.
For certain, Schuman
said, the live-work units
would have strong appeal for
business professionals, but
market penetration might
also result from the proximity to Weil Tennis Academy,
Craftsman Village's neighbor
directly across the Ojai Valley
Trail.
The local element goes
further, though. “We're using
as many local subcontractors
as possible,” said Emery. At
present, those include Casey
Myers Equipment for the excavating and Wilson Builders for the framing, both of
them Ojai-based businesses. “There will be more area
businesses involved in the
future,” Emery added, “in-
cluding the subcontract for
concrete.”
“Getting the community
involved in the project was
a major thing we wanted to
do,” Nielsen said. “We wanted
to put as few cars and trucks
on that 33 as possible.”
As public art goes, Nielsen
said Raven Ridge opted for a
$27,000 donation to the Ojai
Arts Commission, made in
view of what was expected to
be a lengthy planning stage.
“It seemed to us that would
be the best way to give back
to the community,” he said.
The donation was applied to the recently installed
Douglas Lochner art in Libbey Park. “Someone asked
me if I'd seen our lizard,” he
said. “I didn't know what they
were talking about until they
told me I'd find it in the park.”
When he saw it, he was delighted. “I think it's fantastic.”

simply the two developers
who initiated conversations,
he said.
Moore and Goode have
been invited to the Oct. 17
Board meeting, but they do
not have a spot on the agenda, confirmed Bangser.
“They may choose to
speak during public comment,” he said.
If the Board decides to
move forward with a project
requiring a zoning change,
it would require City Council approval and a public
hearing, confirmed Ojai City
Manager Steve McClary.
The parcel is currently zoned for public or quasi-public use.
The School Board will
convene at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 17
in the OUSD Board Room,
414 E. Ojai Ave.
Pearl:
Marc Whitman, Craftsman
Village received its original
permit in 2005. At that time,
the plan was for eight livework units to be constructed
on the 1.61-acre lot between
Pearl Street and the Ojai Valley Trail. These units would
have been designed for light
manufacture, in keeping with
the zoning at that time. It was
not long before the housing
market fell, though. When the
market came back up again,
investors were scarce.
By 2013, when Raven
Ridge acquired the project,
the area had been rezoned
for Village Mixed Use, and
Whitman drew up a new design calling for five live-work
units, one residential unit
and two commercial units.
Architecturally, the finished product will embrace
strong elements of the California Craftsman style. Nu-
Plans:
Andreas Chialtas, OUSD's
real estate attorney, will be
on hand during the School
Board's Oct. 17 meeting to
walk the Board through processes related to a potential
sale or lease of the property.
The Board has made no
decision with regard to the
property, thus far.

Art lovers flock to Ojai last weekend for its two annual tours
Bill Warner
[email protected]
Ojai is one town preceded by its reputation as an arts
community. This was evident
Columbus Day weekend,
when the 33rd annual Ojai
Studio Artists (OSA) Art Tour
and the concurrent Ojai Art
Detour each attracted aesthetes from around the region.
“There's a lot of camaraderie associated with the
group,” OSA member Linda
Taylor said Oct. 9, “and much
cross-pollination of ideas.”
Around 50 Ojai artists
had their studios open for
this year's tour, a self-guided
event spread over three days,
beginning Oct. 9 and concluding Oct. 11, Taylor said.
This was the second year, she
said, for the tour to include
a Monday. “A good many
people were having trouble
booking rooms for Saturday nights. Sundays, though,
were usually open, so we added an extra day to the tour.”
Taylor, who specializes in
printmaking, lost her studio
to a fire last December. Since
February, she has been working four days a week in OSA
member Karen Lewis' studio.
“The whole family has been
great,” Taylor said. “Karen
shares one side of the studio
and I have this half to work
on prints.” Both artists were
showing their work as part of
this year's tour.
Art Ojai, this year's alternative Art Detour occupied
two days, Oct. 8 and Oct. 9,
beginning with a reception at
Gallery 525 in Meiners Oaks.
Also a self-guided tour, it featured 40 Ojai Valley galleries
and home studios, those of
Darlene Dewing, Hedi Bradbury, Terry Sharp and William
Wu among them.
“I think it was good over-

29 firefighters battled the
blaze.
“The fire involved an office area in the left rear of
the structure,” said Lindbery.
“There was smoke damage
throughout the building.”

at the same time.”
“It seemed very busy both
days,” said Detour member
Dan Schultz. “People were
getting out and around in
spite of the heat.”
Schultz had just hung a
new exhibit in his Ojai studio,
Dan Schultz Fine Art, 106 N.
Signal St. “I thought with the
100th anniversary of the National Park system, it would
be good to show some landscapes from our parks,” he
said. So he's currently displaying approximately 20 of
his own paintings executed
over the years at National
parks and National Monuments, including Yosemite,
Channel Islands, Joshua Tree,
Arches and Grand Canyon.

“Several artists told me they

not so great, but that's usually how it goes.”
Wood said this year's
event marked a transition

in 2017. And next year the

The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time, said
Lindbery.
Beryl Schwartz, a neighbor of displaced homeowner Eileen Barbey, confirmed
Barbey has temporary accommodations in a local hotel.
Though the house didn’t
burn down, Schwartz said it
is completely uninhabitable.
“The one room was completely burned out,” she said.
“Everything is smoke damaged.”
Schwartz has collected
clothing and dog food donations at her home since
Barbey was displaced, and
confirmed she has received
sufficient donations for immediate needs.
Schwartz encouraged any
residents interested in supporting Barbey to donate to

allegation's validity.
“Bennett is listed as controlling SOAR, he was on the
ballot, and the voters had a
right to know whether major
donations to the SOAR Committee he controlled had influenced or would influence
his actions on the Board of
Supervisors before the election,” said Sustain VC attorney Sarah Lang. “By what appears to be a clear violation
of the Political Reform Act,
Bennett and SOAR hid that
information from the voters.”
SOAR executive director
Karen Schmidt argues that
this is merely a technicality.
“SOAR and Supervisor
Bennett reported all of their
contributions in a timely
manner with full disclosure
consistent with SOAR’s designation as a General Purpose
Committee rather than a
Controlled Committee. That
is the area under question.”
said Schmidt.
“We have been filing as
a General Purpose Committee for 10 years and this has
never been an issue,” added
Bennett. “The timing of this
issue being raised now by the
attorney for Measure F is not
a coincidence.”
“SOAR immediately responded to the FPPC inquiry
and is cooperating with them
fully as they sort out the technical classification of what
the proper filing procedure
is. We also indicated we will
take any corrective action
they request,” she continued.
“We look forward to their investigation and have always

Sediment:
tually because of sediment,”
he told the Board when it
met Sept. 28. “The question is
how soon?”
Spandrio said sedimentation has been a problem for
two lakes on the Santa Ynez
River: Lake Cachuma and the
Gibraltar Reservoir. The capacity of Cachuma, he said, is
down by 21,000 acre-feet after 60 years, while 90 years of
sediment has accumulated to
14,000 acre-feet in Gibralter.
As for Matilija Lake, where
sedimentation has more or
less been a problem since the
completion of Matilija Dam
in 1947, that reservoir is now
nonfunctional because of the
buildup.
Spandrio said his research indicates lake sediments to accumulate, typically, in a range of 0.1 percent
to 0.5 percent of capacity per
year. Gibraltar, Cachuma and
Matilija are in the range of 0.1
percent to 0.2 percent. If Casitas were at only 0.1 percent,
he contended, it could mean
12,700 acre-feet of deposition
at present. A bathymetric
survey, Spandrio urged the
Board, is in order.
Wickstrum said he was
initially skeptical of any significant loss of volume due
to sedimentation in Lake Casitas. He cited the highly detailed survey conducted by
the Bureau of Reclamation
during the construction of
the dam. That survey, he said,
predicted the reservoir would
not fail for another 2,500
years. One reason for such
a prediction was that most
sedimentation should occur
where Santa Ana and Coyote
creeks flow in — at the end of
the lake opposite the dam.

OCB loan portfolio
tops $200 million
OCB Bancorp, parent
company of Ojai Community Bank, announced it has
reached a significant benchmark — its loan portfolio has
grown to more than $200 million this year. The OCB family
of banks now has the largest
bank portfolio of loans of any
community bank headquartered in Ventura County.
President and CEO Dave
Brubaker
attributes
the
growth to local decision-making, a relationship-oriented
banking model and a high
level of trusted personal service. In addition, Ventura
County is experiencing a recovering economy, increased
home sales and enhanced
consumer confidence. The
bank's loan portfolio has
been growing at about 30 to
35 percent per year for the
past several years.
Manager Ron Merckling said
extensive deposits of silt are
already evident at those areas
— especially Coyote Creek,
whose flow was slowed for
decades by the submerged
Deep Cat Lake coffer dam.
Today, the coffer dam, Deep
Cat Lake and lots of deposited soil have emerged as the
water level of Lake Casitas
have fallen.
“Sedimentation
generally occurs rapidly around dams
with a direct connection to a
river or stream,” Merckling
said. Matilija Dam, for example, directly impounds the
flow of Matilija Creek, hence
the dramatic accumulation
of silts. Water flowing to the
Casitas Dam, by contrast, is
baffled by the topography.
In 1991, when the lake
was at 51 percent, Wickstrum
conducted straight-line surveys of exposed accumulations of silt. “Most of the
sediment was loaded at the
mouth of Santa Ana Creek,”
he said, “well above the 50
percent mark.”
Farther down in the
lake bed, other objects have
emerged in fairly clear definition after long decades of immersion, Merckling said. The
pavement of old Highway
150, the steps of the old Santa Ana School and numerous
concrete foundations along
the old Santa Ana-Dunshee
Road showed very little in
the way of a soil overburden
when they returned to light.
And in 2015, Wickstrum
said, the U.S. Navy tested
some of its equipment in the
waters around the base of Casitas Dam, finding very little
sedimentation at that time.
Since 1959, when Casitas
Dam was completed, there's
never been a full bathymetric
study of the lake, Wickstrum
said. Two years ago, he said,
the Board discussed but did
not authorize a full survey,
partly because of the cost involved.
A complete volumetric
survey of the lake, including the portions now above
water, was running in the
vicinity of $70,000 at that
time. A survey of the portions
currently below water, also
known as a “boatside” survey,
could likely cost anywhere
from $30,000 to $40,000, he
said.
But two years ago, such a
study did not seem quite as
critical as it does now, Wickstrum noted. The Bureau of
Reclamation's original assessment and predictions
for sedimentation in the lake
are probably quite accurate,
he said. “But if they're off by
10 percent, well, that would
mean 24,000 acre-feet,” he
added, “more than a year's
supply of water.”
Beyond that, Wickstrum
said, the project appeals to
his own frame of reference as
an engineer. “I'm not against
it at all,” he said. “I'm always
interested to see how things
might have changed out
there. I like that kind of stuff.”
If approved by the CMWD
Board when it meets Oct. 26,
a request for proposals would
be sent out.
“Hopefully, we can get it
done before the end of the
year,” Wickstrum said. “We'll
rely on new techniques and
new computer modeling to
get a very accurate idea of
what's there.”
Wickstrum said the Board
would probably look at bids
for a complete volumetric
study as well as for a boatside survey. If the complete
survey comes in at a reasonable price, he said, the Board
might well decide to go with
that.
That would be the course
of action favored by Spandrio. “Eventually, they're going to have to find that out,”
he said. “The important thing
to remember is that doing a
bathymetric survey only at
the current lake pool is not
going to address how much
total lake capacity has been
reduced.”

Public invited to help paint Ojai Day mandala
Andra Belknap
[email protected]
Ojai Valley residents are
invited to gather at the intersection of Ojai Avenue and
Signal Street Oct. 14 at 9 p.m.
for the pre-Ojai Day tradition
of painting the event's annual
mandala.
Originally a “guerrilla art
project” theorized by River Sauvageau and friends,
the mandala has become
emblematic of the October
event.
“Everybody loved it so
much, we've done it every
year since,” said Sauvageau.
Though the city was unaware of plans for the original
mandala, they now fund the
project, she confirmed.
The 2016 mandala will
consist of a spiral design with
an emphasis on water, said
Sauvageau.
“The spiral is one of the
basic natural forms in which
things grow,” she said, and
water designs throughout the
mandala will reflect the community's need for rainfall.
The painting event is
open to everyone.
The group hopes to finish
the mandala by 3 a.m. Oct. 15
so they can get a little sleep
before returning downtown
for a 10 a.m. kickoff event
centered around the freshly
painted artwork.
Julie Tumamait, a local
Chumash elder, will share a
rain prayer with the community on the mandala at 10:30
a.m. Oct. 15.
Tumamait doesn't know
exactly what the prayer will
consist of, though. “It will be
spontaneous,” she said.
“It's going to be inclusive. It's whatever everybody
wants to bring to it,” she said.
After the prayer, Sauvageau plans to lead a rain
dance along a river pathway
that will run through the
mandala.
And that's just the beginning, the Ojai Day celebration will include 210 booths
and eight stages, according
to event coordinator Amber
Young, who is preparing for
a crowd of as many as 15,000.
Some events include an
11 a.m. ribbon cutting ceremony at Libbey Park to cele-
brate the playground's new
public art works, a 4 p.m.
Aztec dance performance on
the mandala, and day-long
belly dance and middle eastern music performances on
the Libbey Park gazebo, renamed the “gypsy gazebo” for
the day.
Young said she is particularly excited for Noble Creatures' 8 p.m. performance
on the Lions Club Beer Garden Stage, at 307 E. Ojai Ave,
which will be preceded by
seven hours of live music performances.
Ojai Day will take place
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 15.

OJAI VALLEY MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION
DAN NELSON
Grace truly does change everything
Have you ever found
yourself lost, lacking the direction and perspective to know
which way to proceed? Then a
friendly soul at a gas station,
or a map found buried in the
glove compartment rescues
you from despair. The feeling of disorientation is very
strange when one’s bearings
are adrift. Even in our day of
in-dash GPS systems, and
personal Smartphones, that
can give us door-to-door directions when traveling, these
techno-gadgets can’t help
us with everything. When it
comes to spiritual life, forgiveness of sin, reconciliation
and accountability to God,
there are no “apps” for that on
iTunes. The new operating system that we all need is called
“grace” and it is available for
free download from Jesus, it
installs easily into every soul
with faith software technology, via the Holy Spirit wireless
network.
Grace truly does change
everything: our relationship
to God, both now and into
eternity, and our interactions
with other people. When we
receive the gift of God into our
lives, Jesus described being
born again. This is a restart in
everything; the renewing of
the way we think, values, goals
and priorities are less selfcentric and more aligned with
the thoughts of God. The new
life is birthed of the Holy Spirit
of God, and not conjured by
religious zeal. And as the cup
of one’s life gets filled past the
rim, we overflow his grace into
other people’s lives. It is no
wonder Jesus talked the way
he did about his return.
In Matthew 25, Jesus was
teaching some principles
about his return to Earth in
power and authority, fulfillment of promises, and judgment of the nations. In his
discourse, he gave six practical
criteria that clearly exposed
some as banded with the
purposes of Christ and others as not. The list of lifestyle
choices included food for the
hungry, drink for the thirsty,
clothes for the needy, welcoming strangers, caring for the
sick, and visiting prisoners.
In each of these cases, Jesus
positions himself in the role of
the recipient: “When you did it
to the least of these, you did it
unto me.”
It is intriguing how quickly
Jesus can slice through the fog
and bring clarity out of confusion. The one who receives the
grace of God in salvation will
manifest it by sharing that love
with others. To follow Jesus is
simple and profound — even
a child can be a teacher by
way of setting an example.
And love remains the key — it
originates in the heart of God,
and flows to and through his
people. Indeed, in order to
experience and deliver his
compassion and message, we
must be born again.
If Christianity has become
reduced for you into some
creed, organization or political force, then let the words of
Jesus reignite for you what this
is really about. Life transformation in Christ resets one’s
coordinates, trajectory, and
offers turn-by-turn directions.
The Bible is clear that Jesus is
coming back, and that day will
come as a shock to some. But
for everyone who lives expecting that any day one could see
him face-to-face, this life will
become more fruitful and they
will not be in regret when Jesus divides between those that
are his, and those that aren’t.

ASTROLOGY
RISA D’ANGELES
This may be a time of unexpected events and new realities
Esoteric astrology as
news for the week of Oct. 14
through 20:
Saturday is the full
hunter’s moon which means
it’s the Libra Solar Festival
(23 degrees Libra). Everyone
is invited to join the New
Group of World Servers,
reciting the Great Invocation
(Mantram of Direction for
Humanity) with the purpose
of helping humanity arrive
at right choice (especially
in the United States). All
of humanity is at present
experiencing a Crisis of
Reorientation and Initiation.
The Libra Festival involves
Uranus in Aries, bringing us
“all things new.” It may be a
time of unexpected events
and new realities. We observe
with poise and equilibrium
(Libra’s task).
The Aquarian new world
religion will contain seeds
from all previous religions
(developmental stages)
given to humanity since the
beginning of time. Sunday
evening Sukkot, Jewish
festival of the harvest, of
building temporary shelters
and of remembering, begins.
Sukkot, a seven-day
festival, is both historical
and agricultural. Historically,
Sukkot commemorates
40 years during which the
children of Israel crossed the
Sanai desert (left Egypt, the
Taurus Age, for Israel, the
Aries Age), were surrounded
by protective “clouds of
glory” and constructed
temporary shelters. Creating
and dwelling in a sukkah
commemorates G-d’s
kindness to his people.
Agriculturally, Sukkot
is the harvest festival of
Ingathering.
The word “Sukkot”
means “shelters,” temporary
dwellings. Sukkot is
pronounced “Sue Coat,”
or the Yiddish, rhyming
with “Book us (Sook-us).”
How to build a Sukkot:
https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=fPSCmr9-feM.
Watch the You Tubes that
follow. While building our
temporary shelter, gathering
the “citron, myrtle, palm and
willow,” we must make sure
we always see the stars.
ARIES: So many changes
are occurring it’s good to
be aware of different ideas,
beliefs, behaviors and
responses in all interactions.
Recognize your ability to
carefully handle money and
resources, your capacity to
discern and discriminate and
your competence in giving
(and then giving some more).
Relationships are important
and of great value to Aries at
this time. What value do you
place in relationships?
TAURUS: The ways we
interact in relationships
develop (in most cases)
from what we observed and
experienced as children
with our families and the
adults around us. Often you
hide away in relationships,
dedicated with constancy to
those you love, hardly ever
to leave. This dedication
allows others to progress
forward into expansive safe
transformational places. We
thank you. Do you feel loved
enough in return?
GEMINI: It’s important
to know that even though
it’s compelling to return to
previous ways of believing
and thinking you won’t
remain there. The purpose
of a return is to relearn the
lessons, discover all the
goodness, offer forgiveness
(if needed) and gratitude.
And then go forward to meet
your future. It is the story of
the Dweller on the Threshold
turning into the Angel of the
Presence. One is Saturn, the
other Venus.
CANCER: Are you
feeling restricted by family
or is family helping you
restructure your life? Is there
a need for a rebalancing
within the family or wherever
you call home? Is your
communication all about
forgiveness, gratitude,
balance, choices and resting
in this interlude? A specific
creativity is calling to and
needed by you. Does it have
to do with your home and
garden? Are you winter
planting?
LEO: Remember in
ancient times when we
cooked, baked, picked fruit
in the garden. And made
fires by day and night?
Remember walks at daybreak
and evening under the
stars? Remember the sense
of community, yet also the
loneliness, solitude and
the ways a healing from
family wounds came about?
Remember that as adults we
release all things sorrowful
through forgiveness.
Remember who loved you?
What/whom do you love
now?
VIRGO: You want
freedom — especially
financial. Let’s figure all the
ways you can have resources
and make money that’s
your own. Or if already
making money, how you can
encourage more coming in.
One of the most important
ways of receiving money
is tithing to those in need.
When we give, we experience
freedom. Give more and
love more. Even though the
issue may seem like money,
what you are truly seeking is
liberty.
LIBRA: Your future
is unveiling itself in
transformative ways. Can
you feel a change? Your
self-identity, how you see
yourself, is expanding
and reorganizing itself.
Your professional and
personal lives and how
you interact with the world
will subtly change too. Be
very professional when
communicating. Listen
more and listen carefully.
Use words that support and
uplift. Your future holds new
prospects, new openings and
a new state of beauty.
SCORPIO: There will
be something given in the
coming weeks, a discovery,
a new learning about how
you see yourself. It will begin
with helping another. We see
our own humanity when we
help others. It’s like a mirror.
When we embrace the needs
of the times, seen through
the needs of others, we build
a new understanding. And
our daily life changes. You are
a resource for so many.
SAGITTARIUS: Are you
feeling self-protective?
This question concerns
your well-being in present
and future relationships. I
n non-violent
communication, also
called compassionate
communication, a core
message is understanding
the needs of self and others
simultaneously. Discerning
needs becomes a creative
act, profoundly affecting
all outer experiences.
Cooperation begins in
earnest with you. Note:
you’re in the nine tests.
CAPRICORN: Profound
changes continue, especially
in your self-identity and
life direction. Group work
is of great importance
now. Perhaps your group
is your family and a small
coterie of friends. In groups,
people experience you as
a transformer. This is your
spiritual task in groups. It
just happens. Sometimes
it’s a difficult task.
Understanding this helps
you maintain confidence.
And explains your purpose.
AQUARIUS: Tend to your
resources and finances with
the utmost care. It’s most
important to continue to
downsize so you can move
forward quickly into where
you’re really to be. This may
feel unstable. However, it’s
vital as a way to create the
new sharing society. So,
when able, give lots away.
Then you’re less dependent
upon physical things and
more upon freedom, which
you seek. Balances comes in
having less.
PISCES: “Amidst the
whirling forces we stood
confused. Swept up and
down the lands, bewildered,
blinded, nowhere to rest.”
Finally, we said, “Here I stand
and will not move till I know
the law governing this very
moment. I face many ways
and soon I will determine for
myself which way to go. I will
travel no longer up and down
the land. I will no longer be
blinded. I will only upward
move.” (Words from the Old
Commentary for Neptune in
Pisces)

Museum, city preparing to celebrate important milestones
Perry Van Houten
Ojai Valley News correspondent
The Ojai Valley Museum (OVM) is launching a
year-long series of events to
celebrate its 50th birthday,
and the 100th anniversary of
downtown Ojai’s rejuvenation.
The OVM’s Jubilee Year
celebration will include activities at the museum’s Ojai
Avenue location and elsewhere, and will run from Ojai
Day Oct. 15 through Ojai Day
2017, according to Wendy
Barker, OVM director.
“We have over those 50
years preserved thousands of
artifacts and documents, and
hosted exhibits in four different locations, so it’s a lot to be
proud of,” Barker said. “It is a
big deal for us.”
Art Town, the OVM’s new
exhibit, will be the celebration’s curtain-raiser, featuring
artwork from both the museum’s collection and the city
of Ojai’s art collection. The
exhibit opens Ojai Day. That
evening, the OVM will host a
reception including several of
the artists talking about the
works they created.
The celebration will shift
to the OVM’s previous home,
the old Ojai Firehouse, at 109
S. Montgomery St. Oct. 30
from 6 to 8 p.m. The historic
structure is now home to the
Ojai Vineyard. That event,
open to the public, will include wine, appetizers and a
short program that will highlight the museum’s history.
Barker said the next event
will occur Nov. 5 at the museum at 130 W. Ojai Ave. “That’s
our birthday party,” said
Barker, “and it’s free to everyone. We’ll have a number
of activities for people to do.
We’ll have birthday cake.”
The OVM was incorporated Oct. 31, 1966, and opened
to the public a few months
later at 843 E. Ojai Ave., now
the American Legion Hall.
A few years later, OVM
founder and longtime curator Robert Browne, moved
the museum to 338 E. Ojai
Ave., today the home of the
Ojai Valley Board of Realtors.
The museum moved again in
1979 to the Ojai Firehouse,
where it stayed for approximately 20 years before moving to its current location.
Barker said the OVM’s
birthday party will be part of
a wider celebration marking
the centennial of downtown
Ojai’s revitalization in 1917,
under the leadership of the
town’s most famous benefactor, Edward D. Libbey.
There’s more to the town’s
makeover a century ago than
just the new buildings, explained Barker. “I love the
fact that it’s the name change
from Nordhoff to Ojai. I love
that this is the way the town
still looks 100 years later.”
Of special significance to
Barker is the fact that among
those historic structures
stands the OVM’s home since
1996, the former St. Thomas
Aquinas Church. It’s a building that Libbey called the
for requesting the return of
the confiscated materials.
Kroll said 30 to 40 members
had previously submitted
claim forms to get their records back, but to no avail.
The cooperative's voting
membership was in favor of
filing the suit, he added.
Kroll is due in Ventura
Superior Court for a pretrial
hearing Nov. 14. Joining him
will be SLCC co-founder Robert Hoffman and driver William MacNeil, who also were
arrested April 14. MacNeil
faces charges of possessing
and transporting marijuana;
Hoffman has been charged
with conspiracy to commit
a crime. Kroll is contending
with a variety of accusations,
including cultivation of marijuana, and manufacture of
concentrated cannabis.
“The hearing is open
to the public,” Kroll said.
“Any and all SLCC members
should go.”
The case is being prosecuted for the county by Deputy District Attorney Theresa
Pollara. Contacted for comment Oct. 12, Pollara had not
responded by press time Oct.
13.
Suit:
out California operate with
hubris and a lack of accountability that has led to repeated damages for medical cannabis patients. In this case,
the county will pay millions
of dollars for acting outside
the scope of the law.”
The April 14 arrests followed a series of raids in
which medical records of the
cooperative's members were
confiscated along with the
existing inventory and other
property. The Oct. 7 civil suit,
filed on behalf of the organization's 700-plus members,
coincided with the deadline

“The Arcade, the post office, all these iconic buildings — of which our museum is one — are all about to

they’ve been maintained, and
loved, and immortalized in so
many postcards and photographs and paintings,” Barker
said.
Details of the larger celebration are being kept under
wraps for now, Barker said,
but she encouraged local
community groups and organizations to jump on the
bandwagon and present their
ideas. “What I’ve been so impressed with is how many
people are really involved in
talking about the old days
and wanting to know the history. They’re sharing stories
and photos, and they have so

Peterson perfect
in the polo pool

The Villanova Preparatory
School (VPS) boys’ water polo
team continues to excel this
fall, improving to 8-2 overall
and 2-1 in Tri-Valley League
action.
The team continues to
thrive under first-year head
coach Tim Settem and looks
poised to make a playoff run
later this season.
After dropping a match
to powerhouse Malibu Oct. 5,
the Wildcats clawed their way
back into the win column
with a dominating performance over the Cate Rams,
walking away with a 24-8 victory.
VPS was led by junior
Luke Peterson who scored 10
of his team’s 24 goals. “Luke
has been impressive all season and his stats really stand
out, but our success has been
due to a total team effort,”
said Settem.
The Wildcats also got solid performances from senior
Jeff Wright (four goals), senior Michael Starbuck (three
goals), and senior Ben Launuis (three goals).
“We are getting better
with each practice and each
game. This is a great group of
guys,” added Settem.
Next up for the Wildcats
will be an Oct. 14 showdown
against the Nordhoff Rangers
in a rivalry game. The game
will be played at VPS and is
slated to get under way at
3:15 p.m.

Thin Nordhoff roster shows heart
despite 28-0 loss to Oak Park
Mike Miller
[email protected]
When a football team loses 28-0, it is rarely considered
a step in the right direction.
However, for the Nordhoff
High School (NHS) football
program, its Oct. 7 loss to the
Oak Park Eagles displayed
a level of toughness and resilience the Rangers haven’t
shown in recent years.
The Rangers suited only
20 players against the bigger,
faster Oak Park squad and according to NHS head coach
Lance Wiggins, only 16 were
healthy enough to see live action. Despite being outnumbered, the Rangers gave Oak
Park fits and proved Wiggins
and his coaching staff have
the team headed in the right
direction.
In the first half, Nordhoff
had chances to put points on
the board but it was evident
early on defense would be the
theme of the night. The NHS
defense made the first big
play of the game when senior
Brendon Looker recorded a
quarterback sack and pushed
the Eagles out of field-goal
range.
With the ball, Nordhoff
then tried a halfback pass to
catch the Eagles off guard,
but the visitors were not
fooled and the Scott Barron
pass was intercepted.
Oak Park scored its first
points of the game when
quarterback
Vincenzo
Granatelli connected with
Bryce Hardy for a 7-yard
touchdown. The extra point
was no good and the Eagles
took a 6-0 lead.
The Rangers then put together a nice drive and got
deep into Oak Park territory,
but a 32-yard field goal attempt by Looker would sail
wide left. Looker and the
NHS defense stepped up
again and forced a turnover
on downs after a big fourthdown stop. At that point, the
Oak Park sideline was rattled
after being out-played and
out-hustled by the shorthanded Rangers.
Late in the first half, Oak
Park’s frustration would increase after the Rangers
came up with huge plays
to keep them out of the end
zone as time expired on the
half. Defensive backs Jared
Skaggs and Edwardo Perez
both made plays against Oak
Park’s athletic wide receivers
and the two teams went into
the half with the score 6-0 in
favor of Oak Park.
Any hopes Nordhoff had
of pulling off an upset took
a major hit at halftime when
Looker returned to the side-
line in street clothes. The senior made several great plays
on defense and special teams
in the first half and his second-half absence was felt by
the already-thin Nordhoff
Rangers.
To start the second half,
the Eagles executed a methodical drive that chewed
up the clock and left the NHS
defense on the field before
running back Tyler Glassman finished the drive with
a touchdown. The two-point
conversation was good and
the Eagles led, 14-0.
“That drive took a lot out
of us. With only 16 guys available, it was tough. But, our
kids really battled. I could not
be more proud of them,” said
Wiggins.
With several players never leaving the field, the bigger
Oak Park team managed to
wear down the Rangers and
extend its lead to 28-0 with
two late touchdowns.
Nordhoff’s best chance to
score in the second half ended when junior quarterback
Parker Johnsen was intercepted in the end zone.
“The ultimate compliment you can get from an
opposing coach is when they
tell you they wish their team
played with the kind of heart
our kids showed and that’s
what the Oak Park coaches told us tonight. I’m very
proud of our effort and of our
fight,” added Wiggins.
With several very strong
teams left on the schedule,
the Rangers’ coaching staff
will have some big decisions
to make in the coming days
relative to their roster. “We’ll
have to sit down this weekend and see where we are and
who has lingering injuries after this game. I think we will
need to pull some kids up
from junior varsity. All we can
do is keep coaching at this
point,” added Wiggins.
Johnsen finished his night
10 of 18 for 87 yards and an
interception. Senior Devon
Page was the team’s leading
receiver with four catches for 39 yards and sophomore Brayden Rogers led the
ground game with 61 yards
on 22 carries.
On defense, sophomore
Nick Cansler was in on 16
tackles. Rogers recorded
eight tackles and Barron had
seven.
Next up for the Rangers
will be a rare Saturday game
when they host St. Margaret’s
(6-1) from San Juan Capistrano. That game will be played
Oct. 15 at the Ojai Valley
Community Stadium with a 6
p.m. kickoff.
Three constants: Death, taxes and Snowbarger wins
Ted Cotti
Scott Snowbarger teed it up with
partner Bob Ridgway to win his eighth
Soule Park Men's Club tournament in
nine attempts this year. He posted a 64
to edge Rich Tharp and Kenny Morgan
in a scorecard playoff in the club's annual two-man scramble Oct. 8.
Jay Ackerman and Todd Henard were
the hottest golfers on the day though,
just missing out on the gross title with
their 65 while running away with the net
title with a 56.4.
Jordan Switzer and Andrew Bonsignori shook off the rust — from not
playing much golf lately — to capture
second net at 61.7. They edged out the
teams of Matt Murphy and Bruce Leichtfuss (62) and Jeff Switzer and Mark Blankenburg (62.8).
Skins winners included Tharp and
Morgan with an eagle on the third hole,
Murphy and Leichtfuss with an eagle
on five, Peter Brown and Charlie Casey with a birdie on seven, Switzer and
Bonsignori with an eagle on three, Paul
Wadsworth and Brian Wadsworth with
a birdie on three and Buck Crook and
Mark Robertson with an unlikely eagle
on three. Robertson chipped in from
above the green to a red pin.
Closest to the pin winners were Bonsignori on three, Tharp on six, Tom York
on 10 and Ridgway on 16.
The club's next tournament is the
annual Turkey Shoot Nov. 12.
Anyone interested in joining for 2017
can join now and play in the November
and December tournaments.

yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries. VPS will look to rebound Oct. 14 when it travels to
Santa Barbara to take on Laguna Blanca (3-3) while Thacher will get a week off before facing a
tough Flintridge Prep (4-1) team Oct. 22 on the Thacher campus.
NHS to play rare Saturday game
Mike Miller

The Nordhoff High School
(NHS) football team will play
a rare Saturday night game
when it hosts St. Margaret’s
Oct. 15 at 6 p.m. The Tartans
are a powerhouse program
from San Juan Capistrano
and will come to the Ojai Valley with a solid 6-1 record. It
is also the No.-1-ranked team
in the CIF Southern Section
Division 7 rankings.
St. Margaret’s opened its
season with a trip to Hawaii
where they faced Hawaii
Prep and earned a 41-7 victory. Since then, it has beat
Calvary Chapel (48-0), Valley
Christian (30-27), Laguna
Beach (38-0), Whittier Christian (70-49) and Sweetwater
(52-20). The only blemish on
the Tartans’ record is a 48-24
loss to Bishop’s of La Jolla.
Nordhoff will be fighting an uphill battle against a
football power like St. Mar-
garet’s especially given the
struggle it has had with headcount this fall. Last week, the
Rangers took on Oak Park
with just 16 healthy players,
leading the speculation they
would need to dip into the
junior varsity pool this week.
Local football fans should
be in for a treat when the
Tartans take the field. Their
passing game should be fun
to watch. Last year, quarterback George Krantz threw
for 3,165 yards and 43 touchdowns with just 13 intercep-
tions. His favorite target is
wide out Austin Locke who
caught 18 touchdowns and
had 1,085 yards receiving as
a junior.
“They are a small program like us, but they are athletic and well coached,” said
NHS head coach Lance Wiggins. “I think we have a good
game plan going in and we
will look to shake things up a
bit on offense to see if we can
get it going a little more. We
want to compete with these
guys.”

THE WAY WE HEAR IT
TEAMS ON BYE
Vikings, Buccaneers
by Hub Arkush
Time for
Kaepernick
to stand up
The Way We Hear It, San Francisco 49ers head
coach Chip Kelly is absolutely telling the truth when
he says his decision to switch from Blaine Gabbert
to Colin Kaepernick is a football decision only and
has nothing to do with reports Kaepernick’s contract was recently restructured to limit the team’s
exposure to guaranteed money.
But that doesn’t make Kelly the most honest guy
in the world, he’s just telling the truth now.
As proof of his honesty, Kelly made the reasonable argument that if he was not playing Kaepernick to avoid the risk of injury and the team owing
him money he might not earn on the field, why has
Kaepernick been his No. 2 in recent weeks while
Christian Ponder has remained inactive, leaving
Kaepernick just one hit away from having to take
the field anyway and being exposed to the mayhem?
It’s a reasonable explanation.
But Kelly has not been consistently straightforward in the early weeks of the season, according
to our sources, letting it leak to the media that
Kaepernick wasn’t getting a shot because he had
been slow recovering from three offseason surgeries and that he just wasn’t ready yet.
Kelly can’t have it both ways. If Kaepernick had
not been physically ready to give it a go until now,
by Kelly’s own logic, why has he been the No. 2 and
one hit to Gabbert away from being forced onto the
field?
One other note on why Kaepernick hasn’t been
on the field: sources close to both Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke are certain Kaepernick’s
time as an observer has absolutely nothing to do
with whether or not he stands at attention with his
hand over his heart or takes a knee during the National Anthem.
First of all, let’s be honest: with his 58.0 completion percentage, 5.9 yards per attempt, 5 TDs, 6
INTs and 69.6 passer rating, it is probably past the
time for Gabbert to grab some pine.
Like so many great college quarterbacks, and
Gabbert was that, he is at his best a quality backup
at the next level. Kelly’s program cannot progress
without more at the most important of all positions.
Christian Ponder isn’t as good as Gabbert, and
the fact that the Jaguars wasted the 10th pick overall on Gabbert and the Vikings blew a 12th overall
on Ponder is no reason for the 49ers and their fans
to continue to suffer.
We should point out that pretty much every
source we talk to agrees the 49ers offer a good
lead back in Carlos Hyde and are reasonably able at
tight end, but their offensive line and wide receiver
corps have done Gabbert no favors and are unlikely
Colin Kaepernick

to be much kinder to anyone else.
But Kaepernick is one of the best athletes ever to
play the position in the NFL and he was one of the
dominant offensive threats in the game starting
at quarterback for the Niners under Jim Harbaugh
from 2012-2014.
His career 59.9 completion percentage is acceptable, and his 88.5 passer rating is well above
average.
Where Kaepernick has been extremely strong
is with his career 56-to-26 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and during his two-plus seasons as
a starter, Kaepernick averaged 526 yards a season
rushing and 6.0 yards per attempt.
His résumé also includes six postseason starts
and a 4-2 record in those games.
So why has Kelly been so reluctant to put him
on the field?
Rumors of Kaepernick’s “different” personality
began to surface shortly after he became the fulltime starter in 2013, and he is not everyone’s cup
of tea.
He can be distant and quiet more often than
not at a position that almost always yields a team
leader, not a loner.
But we are told that also had little to do with
Kelly’s reluctance to date.
According to our sources, and as was pretty
clearly demonstrated in his time in Philadelphia,
Kelly values his system on offense more than he
necessarily values the players who run it.
What we’re hearing is Kaepernick has just been
slow to adapt to what Kelly wants to do and has
shown little willingness to run the offense at the
rapid-fire pace that Kelly believes is necessary for
success.
Kelly wants his offense lined up and ready to go
with 20-to-25 seconds left on the play clock and
the ball snapped before it reaches 15.
That takes a commitment Gabbert was willing to
make and that Kaepernick will now have to show if
he wants to stay on the field for long.

Paris street scenes will be ‘Broughton’ to the light
The Ojai Photography
Club will host a presentation
by photographer and master
teacher Christopher Broughton Oct. 18 at 7 p.m.
Broughton’s theme, “Practicing Seeing,” is based on his
experiences in Paris over the
past five summers teaching
a study-abroad program in
photography to Brooks Institute students.
Inspired by the great Parisian photographers such as
Henri Cartier-Bresson and
Robert Doisneau, he was
quickly drawn to the allure of
street scenes in the “City of
Light.”
The presentation will be
richly illustrated with photographs taken on the streets of
Paris and also in the studios
of artists living there.
After completing his BA
and MS in photography at
Brooks Institute, Broughton
joined the faculty at Brooks
and taught there for 20 years
until the recent closure of the
school.
He co-authored a textbook called “Capture: Digital
Photography Essentials,” and
his images have appeared in
numerous photography and
design magazines, and exhibited widely in the Southern
California area.
Visit
http://www.chris
topherbroughton.com to see
more examples of his work.
Monthly free presentations are part of the Ojai Photography Club’s community
service outreach. Visitors are
welcome to attend.
The Ojai Photography
Club meets the third Tuesday
of each month from February
through November in Help of
Ojai’s Kent Hall, 111 W. Santa
Ana St. in Ojai.

Fall dance performance set
The Nordhoff High School
Dance Department will host
its “Pathways” fall dance performance Nov. 5 with shows
at 5 and 7:30 p.m. on the Nordhoff Cafeteria stage.
More than 75 students
from the Nordhoff Introduction to Dance classes and the
Dance Technique class will
perform a variety of small ensemble dances.
The performance will
spotlight the concept of
pathways represented by the
narratives within the danc-
es presented. The theme of
“Pathways” invites young
choreographers to consider
the idea of creating dances to
answer the question, “Where
are you going?”
Highlights from the Introduction to Dance class will include a jazzy performance of
“On Broadway” from George
Benson plus a throwback to
the days of the Jackson 5 with
“Rockin’ Robin” along with a
reprise of “Thriller.”
The Dance Technique
students, along with return-
ing Introduction to Dance
students, will perform a medley of the Hukilau, Tahitian
dance and a Haka-inspired
dance. Returning students
in the Introduction to Dance
class will perform a rendition
of “Schoolboy Dreamin” choreographed by dance alumni
Michela Villerme.
Tickets are available at
www.nhsdance.com. Doors
will open 30 minutes prior to
showtime for general seating.
Call 640-4343, Ext. 1861, for
more information.
Medeiros zeros in on latest role
Zero Mostel knew juicy
show biz stories about Harold
Prince, Lucille Ball, George
Abbott, Jack Gilford, Burgess
Meredith, Jerome Robbins,
Elia Kazan, David Merrick,
and more.
In a one-man show opening Oct. 14 at the Ojai Art
Center Theater, Ojai’s John
Medeiros (“Fiddler on the
Roof” and “A Funny Thing
Happened on the Way to the
Forum”) takes on the role of
the outrageous, mercurial,
raging, bellowing Mostel as
he channels the late actorcomedian.
“John Medeiros looks,
speaks and comports himself
so much like Zero Mostel it’s
uncanny,” said director Richard Camp.
Mostel was a victim of the
infamous Hollywood blacklist and this play brings that
dark time in American history to the forefront through
the eyes of a comedian/
painter called The Artist. The
play is set in The Artist’s New
York painting studio where
a New York Times reporter
has come to interview him.
Through the course of the
evening, The Artist (Mostel)
reveals some of the funniest
and most powerful indictments of the climate of fear
that gripped the country in
the 1950s.
Performances of “Zero
Hour” will be Oct. 14, Oct. 15,
Oct. 21 and Oct. 22 at 8 p.m.,
Oct. 16 at 5 p.m. and Oct. 23
at 2 p.m. A free reception will
follow the Oct. 14 show. Tickets are available at www.ojai
act.org or by calling 640-8797.

The Ojai Pops Orchestra is shown during a recent rehearsal at Libbey Bowl.
Ojai Pops Orchestra to give free concert
The Ojai Pops Orchestra
will hold its first concert at
Ojai’s Libbey Bowl Oct. 16
from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. The
concert is free and open to
the public.
The orchestra is comprised of many local musicians, and some musicians
travel from as far as Los Angeles and Goleta.
There are many old and
new connections among the
orchestra members. Longtime Ojai resident and timpani player Lavonne Thierault “completed the circle,”
for conductor Scott Weiss.
Thierault was a member of the original Ventura
County Symphony in 1961
with Weiss’ father, Larry
Weiss. Larry was princi-
pal trumpet of the Ventura
County Symphony, the music director at Ventura High
School and conductor of
the Ventura County Concert
Band for 37 years.
Flute player Jane Hahn
and Scott played together
in the UCSB orchestra in the
1970s.
There are several CalArts and UCSB musicians
performing with the orchestra, including young professionals such as flutist Juan
Rivera, who recently completed his master’s in flute
at CalArts.
Oboe player Cheri Moraga is from a family of professional musicians in Oxnard,
including her husband, who
is a studio musician, and
her daughters who also play
professionally.
The orchestra has acquired a number of movie
score arrangements, which
have been recorded and released by the Prague Philharmonic.
The orchestra will play a
variety of music Oct. 16, including movie themes, jazz
and the music of George
Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein.
Volunteers are also
needed to assist the orchestra. The Ojai Pops Orchestra is sponsored by Music 4
Kids, a nonprofit organization.
For further information,
email [email protected]
or call 649-1800.

Ojai actor John Medeiros takes on the role of Zero Mostel.
Kiefo Nilsson, son of the
late, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, known for such
hits as “Everybody’s Talkin’,”
“Without You,” and “One (is
the loneliest number),” will
perform his father’s album,
“The Point,” at the Besant Hill
School’s Zalk Theater Oct. 22
at 6 p.m.
“The Point,” released in
1971, is a musical fable about
Oblio, the sole round-headed
person in a land where everything and everyone must
have a point. The album will
be performed by Kiefo and
his band, with special guest
narration by Zak Nilsson.
Opening the night will be
Ojai locals Aaron Embry and
Vaughn Montgomery.
Tickets are available at
www.besanthill.org/thepoint
or at the box office the night
of the event.
The show is for all ages,
with free admission for children younger than 12.
A portion of the proceeds
will be donated to the Besant
Hill School of Happy Valley
for the furthering of arts and
music education.

Goldilocks goes on trial
The Young Artists Ensemble’s Hillcrest Players, including (from left) Jacqueline Zucker, Madelyn Ragsdale, Chloe Garcia, Lexy Plotkin,
will present “The Trial of Goldilocks,” Oct. 15 and Oct. 22 at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the Hillcrest Center for the Arts, 403 W. Hillcrest
Drive in Thousand Oaks. This comedy, written by Joseph Robinette and directed by Victoria Sayeg, examines the familiar fairy tale
from three points of view: the traditional, the bears’, then Goldilocks’. Was the young girl a selfish, spoiled brat, intruding where she
didn’t belong, or was she the victim of three conniving bears (and their animal “no goods” in the woods)? Tickets are available at

Medicinal plant weekend
slated for Ojai-Rose Valley
James Adams, Ph.D., from
the USC School of Pharmacy,
will take part in the second
Medicinal Plant Weekend,
Oct. 22 and Oct. 23, from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
On Oct. 22, participants
will travel to Rose Valley and
will spend the day exploring
different plant communities.
On Oct. 23, they will walk
and botanize at a native plant
garden in the morning, take
a lunch break in Ojai and will
go to a downtown Ojai kitchen
where Adams will demonstrate how to prepare edible
and medicinal products from
wild, foraged plant material
such as California buckwheat
seed, toyon berries, sacred
datura, acorns and black
walnuts.
Adams brings a wealth
of scientific knowledge and
field experience as well as a
singular perspective on herbal
medicine.
“My family came to Vir-
ginia in 1635 and has always
survived by using American Indian healing,” Adams
explained. “On the frontier,
there were no doctors. American Indian healing was better
than European medicine anyway. I continue this tradition.”
Adams is the co-author
of “Healing with Medicinal
Plants of the West: Cultural
and Scientific Basis for Their
Use.” The new revision to the
third edition will be available
for purchase and signing.
Adams has been teaching
pharmacy students, medical
students, doctors and other
healthcare professionals for
more than 25 years while
researching the natural pharmaceutical compounds in
native plants.
Adams has worked with
the Chumash people since
1998 and studied Chumash
healing with Cecilia Garcia for
almost 15 years.

Grammy-nominated Batalla to perform
Grammy-nominated
vocalist, composer and arranger Perla Batalla, whose
repertoire cuts across genre
and language, will perform
at the Scherr Forum Theatre
Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Batalla will perform
songs from her CD release,
“Bird on the Wire: The Songs
of Leonard Cohen,” and will
recount stories from her
years working with Cohen.
“For me it’s personal,”
said Batalla. “Having sung
with Leonard for years, his
songs feel as though they’ve
become part of my make up,
his poetic imagery can be at
once surgically precise and
yet so ambiguous as to be
open to unlimited interpretation.”
The Los Angeles-born
singer-songwriter was immersed in the musical world
from birth; her father, a
Mexican singer, her Argen-
Ojai
Rock
Stacker r
tine mother, the proprietor of
a bustling Spanish language
music store.
Batalla started a solo
career after working with
artists ranging from Cohen
and k.d. lang to the Gipsy
Kings and Jennifer Warnes.
Batalla joined Canada’s poet
laureate for two world tours
and Cohen became a mentor
to the young singer.
The concert will include a
performance by Ojai’s Aman-
da McBroom and a portion
of the night’s proceeds will
benefit Food Share, Ventura
County’s Food Bank.

a chance to unleash their
hound’s inner werewolf,
ballerina, clown, wizard,
vampire or ghoul! The first 25
dogs to register will receive
goody bags and the first, sec-
ond and third place winners
will receive prizes courtesy of
Ventura Pet Barn.

English nurse, and especially his soulmate Polly (Ningali Lawford) (left). For more information visit www.ojaifilmsociety.org or call the

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,

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

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF OJAI, CALIFORNIA
ADDING A NEW CHAPTER
25 TO TITLE 4 OF THE OJAI
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW
BEEKEEPING IN ALL ZONES.
WHEREAS, at a lawfully-noticed
public meeting held on April 26,
2016, the City Council of the City of

and received public comment on
proposed changes to the City’s
Municipal Code to allow beekeeping
in all zones within the City, in full
compliance with State and County
regulations.

beekeeping or maintaining an apiary
is permitted only in Agricultural and
Open Space Districts.
WHEREAS, the presence of honey
bees and beekeeping is recognized as
necessary to maintain the ecological
and agricultural health of the City.
WHEREAS, it is further recognized
that permitting residential or
“backyard” beekeepers contributes
substantially to this goal during this
time of crisis for the survival of the
honey bee.
WHEREAS, the City Council
desires to add a new Chapter 25 to
Title 4 of the Ojai Municipal Code,
permitting beekeeping in all zones
within the City.

UHFLWDOVDQG¿QGLQJVDUHWUXHDQG
correct and incorporated herein by
reference, as if set forth herein in full.
SECTION 2. Code Amendment. A
new Chapter 25 is hereby added to
Title 4 of the Ojai Municipal Code, to
read as follows:
CHAPTER 25: BEEKEEPING
Section 4-25.01. Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to
provide reasonable regulations for
the keeping of bees within the City.
The City intends that all beekeeping
within the City be conducted in
compliance with all State regulations
governing bee management and
honey production as provided in
Division 13 of the California Food
and Agriculture Code, section 29000
et seq.
Section 4-25.02. Beekeeping
Generally Allowed.
It shall be unlawful for any person

provisions of this ordinance.
Section 4-25.03. Conditions for

maintained in movable-frame hives.
(b) A water source with an

(d) Each colony shall be
registered with the County
Agricultural Commissioner
and kept in compliance with all
State regulations governing bee

regulations are enforced by the

with the following restrictions.
(a) No more than one (1) hive
shall be maintained on lots having
less than 5,000 square feet in area.
(b) On lots having at least 5,000
but less than 10,000 square feet in

ordinance. As a result, nothing in this
ordinance permits any expansion of
use beyond that level of residential,
commercial, and other land uses
already existing in the City.
(b) Under California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Section 15308
of the CEQA Guidelines, CEQA
review is not required because this
ordinance adopts regulations allowing
beekeeping and thereby assures the
restoration and enhancement of the
environment by allowing new bees
and beehives to increase pollination
and propagation of plant species,
particularly fruit and nut trees and
RWKHUEHQH¿FLDOQDWXUDODJULFXOWXUDO
and ornamental plant species.
The adoption of this ordinance
is therefore exempt from CEQA
review pursuant to California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15301
and 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any
section, subsection, sentence, clause,
phrase or portion of this Ordinance
is for any reason held to be invalid
RUXQFRQVWLWXWLRQDOE\WKH¿QDO
decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining
portions of this Ordinance. The
City Council declares that it would
have adopted this Ordinance, and
each section, subsection, sentence,
clause, phrase or portion thereof,
irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, phrases or
portions might be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
