Council to
consider
leaf blower
compromise
Misty Volaski
editor@ojaivalleynews.com
Since February, the city of
Ojai has not enforced its leaf
blower ban to allow city staff
and City Council members to
investigate possible amends to
the current ordinance. Public
meetings have gotten heated,
with
some
residents
complaining about the noise,
dust and pollution, and some
gardeners countering that the
machines are necessary for
their work.
At Tuesday’s City Council
meeting, city staff is expected
to recommend an inspection
and tagging program be
implemented, along with
more restrictions on usage and
an eventual phasing out of leaf
blowers that operate louder
than 65 decibels. According to
Purdue University, 65 decibels
is a little quieter than the
sound of a vacuum cleaner.
For commercial businesses
wishing to continue the use of
leaf blowers, two levels would
be established: low-noise
blowers (65 decibels or fewer)
and louder blowers (more
than 65 decibels). Private leaf
blower operators wouldn't
require a tag unless there was a
violation. Those commercial
users who pass an inspection
would receive a green tag,
which would be affixed to their
low-noise leaf blowers. Louder
blowers would have more
restrictions on hours they can
operate, and would be banned
entirely after three years.
Restrictions for all leaf
blowers would include not
blowing on dirt fields, not
blowing debris into streets, no
modifications, etc. Council
could opt to go with the city
staff's plan, institute a ban or
modify the existing ordinance.
A special meeting will be set
for 6:30 p.m. — a half hour
before the regular City Council
meeting starts — to provide a
leaf blower demonstration to
the community.

Police to Aguirres: We will never forget
Capt. Jim Fryhoff, former partner of slain Ojai Deputy Peter Aguirre, hugs Peter Aguirre Sr. and visits with other members of the
Aguirre family at thr Ojai Police Station Thursday. More than 60 people — members of the Ventura County Sherrif’s Office, community members and Aguirre family members and friends — showed up at the Ojai station for an annual barbecue held in Aguirre’s
honor. He was killed in the line of duty July 17, 1996, at the age of 26, when he and other deputies responded to a domestic
dispute call in Meiners Oaks. His murderer was later found guilty and given the death penalty. He left behind a wife and daughter,
who was 3 at the time.
Redemption center may open Monday
Tiobe Barron
Ojai Valley News correspondent
After suffering some initial
setbacks, two Ojai Valley
ventures are moving closer to
completion.
A redemption center, originally planned for a Bryant
Street location, has negotiated to use space in Help of
Ojai’s West Campus parking
lot at 317 Baldwin Road.
The
CRV
redemption
center, by Luz Duran of ED
Recycling, was slated to open
this spring, but Duran faced
delays in getting state certification.
“The center’s not open yet.
We’re aiming for August,” said
Help of Ojai’s Mark Burgess.
“The problem wasn’t with us,
but with them (ED Recycling),
something about permitting.”
However, Duran says she
aims to have the center up
and running much sooner
than August.
“We needed to get certification from the state,” Duran
explained. “I called last week,
and they said it would take
about two weeks. So we hope
to open next week. Everything’s ready; we’ll have the
containers for cans and
plastic in the parking lot on
Monday.”
Another Ojai project, an RV
campground planned for a
.67-acre parcel at 317 Bryant
St., is taking longer than the
six months allowed by an Ojai
conditional
use
permit
(C.U.P.)
Chet Hilgers, whose family
owns the property, sought
and was granted a time extension from the Ojai Planning
Commission Wednesday.
“The applicant has been
working with Southern California Edison on plans to
(install) underground utilities
for the project site,” said a
staff report by Ojai Assistant
Planner Heather Waldstein.
“This has been the main
reason for time to lapse and
not obtaining the necessary
permits.”
“The utility companies are
really backlogged right now,”
said Hilgers during the
meeting. “SoCal Edison has
been great to work with, but
it’s been a big waiting game.”
“The six-month timeframe
for a C.U.P. is a short amount
of time,” noted Ojai Community Development Director
Kathleen Wold. “It’s just not
long enough when there is
construction involved.”
The commission approved
Hilgers’ project in December,
and unanimously approved
an extension of his C.U.P. and
Design Review Permit until
June 18.
When
completed,
the
project will feature botanical
garden-style landscaping, a
water tank and tower and a
permanent bathroom structure. Guests will be allowed to
stay a maximum of 14 days.
State gives water agencies
power to fine water wasters

Ojai Valley News correspondent
According to city of Ojai
officials, two Ojai residents,
Paul Blatz and Bill Weirick,
have requested candidacy
paperwork to run for Ojai
City Council in the Nov. 4
election.
Potential candidates must
collect at least 20 signatures
from registered local voters
before Aug. 8 at 5 p.m.
As Ojai City Council candidates request paperwork, the
Ojai Valley News will share
• Name: Bill Weirick
• Age: 62 years old
• Occupation: Retired university professor;
real estate management
• Resident of Ojai for: 4 years
• Why he's running for Ojai City Council:
As a third-generation native Southern Californian, our family is involved in many
community organizations and we are local
business owners. As current chair of the Ojai
Building Appeals Board, I have learned how
important it is to insist on city government
which is efficient, transparent, and accountable to all its citizens. My candidacy is about
offering voters someone dedicated towards
this kind of city government.

In all other local races, we
will profile candidates after
they have qualified for the
ballot.
• Name: Paul Blatz
• Age: 63
• Occupation: Lawyer
• Resident of Ojai for: 31 years
• Why he's running for Ojai City
Council: I am seeking re-election
because there are many issues affecting
Ojai that still need the City Council's
attention. It is essential to stay focused
on our need for affordable housing, to
continue emphasis on our road maintenance, to be prepared to fight against
new cell towers, and to assure a
constant awareness of the outside development and other forces that will not
benefit our community.

A mandate issued by the
California
State
Water
Resources Control Board
(CSWRCB) will prohibit California residents from washing
down walkways and driveways, using potable, nonrecirculated water in water
features and using a hose
without a nozzle shut-off to
wash cars. The mandate also
limits outdoor irrigation to
twice a week, requires large
water purveyors to report
water usage monthly and give
local water agencies the
option of fining violators up to
$500 per day.
Water companies found not
in compliance with the new
“emergency regulations” may
be fined themselves, to the
tune of $10,000 per day,
according to a CSWRCB press
release issued July 15. "Failure
to comply with a State Water
Board enforcement order by
water agencies is subject to up
to a $10,000 a day penalty,” it
read.
The new regulations go into
effect Aug. 1 and will last 270
days, unless the board decides
to extend them.
“We are facing the worst
drought impact that we or our
grandparents have ever seen,”
said State Water Board Chair
Felicia Marcus in the press
release. “And, more important,
we have no idea when it will
end. This drought’s impacts
are being felt by communities
all over California. Fields are
fallowed; communities are
running out of water, fish and
wildlife will be devastated. The
least that urban Californians
can do is to not waste water on
outdoor uses. It is in their selfinterest to conserve more,
now, to avoid far more harsh
restrictions, if the drought
lasts into the future. These
regulations are meant to spark
awareness of the seriousness
of the situation, and could be
expanded if the drought wears
on and people do not act.”
According to a press release
from the United States
Department of Agriculture,

Vilsack will be releasing emergency funds to assist “rural

Eric Abdulkarim
Ojai resident, Eric Abdulkarim,
was born June 22, 1987 in Las
Vegas, Nevada. He was rollerblading with his brother in Manhattan Beach on July 5, 2014
when he suddenly collapsed and
passed away.
Eric was only 27 years old, but
possessed wisdom beyond his
young age. He was honest, caring and very loving
to everyone who crossed his path. He was someone who always thought out of the box. Having
views on life and living in this vast universe was
always on his mind. He had an appreciation for all
of life and respected his life. Eric believed that
when we die our souls go to another place in the
universe. And that our souls can travel at the
speed of light and we become infinite.
Eric was a wonderful father, son, grandson,
brother and friend. Of all of his achievements, Eric
was most proud of his children, Ryan, Makayla
and Hayden Abdulkarim.
He recently became an LVN, having graduated
from CCI in Ventura in 2012. He was planning on
becoming an R.N. in the near future. He loved
nursing and was proud to work in a career where
he could help others. At the time of his passing,
Eric was on staff at VCMC and at Vista Del Mar.
Eric was a seasoned traveler, having traveled all
over the United States. He had been all over
Europe and spent summers in Syria with his
cousins. Eric really loved the outdoors. He loved to
be out hiking. He hiked the Half Dome in Yosemite
as well as all over the Tuolumne Meadows. He
especially loved hiking the Pratt Trail in Ojai. Eric
was an avid skier from a very young age and loved
to ski in the Sierra Nevadas, Tahoe, Denver, Utah,
and all over Europe. He and his sister even skied
across the border of Italy and Switzerland at the
Davos and Klosters ski resort.
Eric loved “Star Wars” memorabilia and Disneyland, where he spent numerous days with his
daughter Makayla. He loved action and comedy
movies. He just loved going to the movies! One of
his favorite pastimes was to scrapbook, especially
before Facebook was popular. Eric and his sisters
would compile many books of family photographs
of places traveled. Eric has many of these books
preserved. Eric was a theme park enthusiast. He
loved roller coasters and his two favorite places
were Six Flags Magic Mountain and DisneylandCalifornia Adventure. Eric was an extremely
family-oriented person. He loved to be around
family. He loved to plan the holidays and outings.
He was always so enthusiastic about celebrating
and living life. Eric did not care for alcohol or parties, in fact, he only did that a handful of times.
Eric was on a natural high in life; he was just
happy to be here on Earth.
Prior to studying at CCI, Eric attended medical
school in Lithuania at Kaunas University and
returned after one semester to be with his family.
In addition to his three children, Eric is survived
by his loving mother, Marie Rye; his grandmother,
Linda Valenzuela; his siblings, Amir, Seif, Anndalos, and Christine; his girlfriend, Jessica Burson;
and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and
cousins, both in the United States and Syria. His
father, Ezedin H. Abdulkarim, predeceased him.
Funeral services for Eric will be held at 11:30
a.m., Saturday, July 19, 2014, at the Joseph P.
Reardon Funeral Home, 757 E. Main St., Ventura,
California. Burial will follow at Ivy Lawn Memorial
Park, Ventura. Friends may visit at the Joseph P.
Reardon Funeral Home on Friday, July 18, from 2
to 7 p.m.
May Eric rest in the infinite universe that he
talked about so much and in the loving arms of
God. Rest in peace.
Charles Walter
“Chuck” Noren
Charles Walter “Chuck”
Noren died peacefully on
June 18, 2014 after a brief
battle with cancer. He was
born on July 21, 1932 to Benjamin E. and Vivian A. (Smith)
Noren in Ojai, the second of
their four children.
A lifelong resident of Ojai, thus the license plate
OJAI NATV, Chuck attended Ojai Elementary,
Nordhoff High School, Ventura Junior College (as it
was known then) and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo,
studying welding. The draft came and he was in the
infantry, stationed at Fort Carson, Colo., after basic
training at Fort Ord.
After the military service he worked with his
father in the building trades, and became accomplished in everything from cement work, plastering, and cut stonework. With his father he worked
on the grotto at Villanova Preparatory School, the
entry posts at Krotona Institute, the original Libbey
Bowl, and many of the building projects at The
Thacher School. He also cut stone at numerous
private homes around the valley.
His passion was in woodwork, which he pursued
under the guidance of John Leeds, eventually
taking over the business. He was proud of his work
building displays for the Gallery of Historical
Figures and producing custom shipping boxes for
precision tools produced by ITI and shipped to
clients all over the world. The recipients of the
boxes kept them because of their craftsmanship.
That craftsmanship showed in the gifts he made for
family and friends.
Throughout high school and college, Chuck was
a volunteer for the Ojai Fire Department. The siren
on top of the firehouse on South Montgomery
would sound and he would crank up his motorcycle and speed off into the night to join up with
the engine crew. He never missed a call.
Chuck was a loyal volunteer for Nordhoffian
Reunion, Ojai Day, the Ojai Music Festival and
many other groups. He was quick to volunteer his
skills for a project, be it backpack hooks for the kids
at Meiners Oaks Elementary School, or a trophy
case for Ojai Valley School. He also opened his
home to friends and neighbors, caring for them
when they were down.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and his
second wife, Mary Chepin Noren. He is survived by
his brother, Robert (Judy) Noren, sisters Dorothy
Reiman (Jim), Janice Prairie (Dennis), stepchildren
Glenn Fout (Lorraine), Carl Fout, Leeann Janek, Jan
Noren, and granddaughter Lissie Fout. Over the
years, he was known as “Grandpa Chuck” to many
kids.
A celebration of his life will be held on Sunday,
July 20, at 12:00 noon at the family home at 4975
Reeves Road. Donations may be made in his
memory to the Ojai Education Foundation or the
Ojai Music Festival.

Ashton is celebrating his first birthday! Unfortunately he has been at the
Shelter for his whole first year. He is a
little shy so has been overlooked many
times. When you take some a quiet
time with him he warms up & loves a
good cuddle & a scratch. He gets along
with the other cats at the shelter. We
hope someone can give Ashton what
he would like most for his birthday, a
loving home. We recommend that all
cats live inside only. You can meet Ashton at the Humane Society of Ventura
County in Ojai. His adoption fee of
$120. helps the shelter care for other rescued animals. The fee includes neuter, free veterinarian
check, feline leukemia test, microchip implantation & ID tag. For more information on Ashton or

Also on Tuesday's
City Council agenda is
a presentation from
Ventura County Fire
Chief Norm Plott. He
will discuss the Ventura County Fire Department's
(VCFD)
efforts to make sure all
350 fire hydrants in the
city of Ojai are operational. "We are finding
a few issues where
we'll be giving a repair
order to Golden State
(Water
Company),"
said Plott. Water is
flowing from all of
them so far, he added.
As of press time, Plott
said VCFD had tested
about 200 of the 350
hydrants and are occasionally bringing in an
engine from Santa
Paula to help with the
effort.
Golden State Water
Company has conducted flow tests of 14
hydrants to ensure the
flow of water is up to
standards. However,
those results will likely
not come before the
end of the month.
Following
Plott's
presentation, the City
Council will also begin
a discussion on neighborhood
planning,
which will take several
years and several
phases before completion.
The special meeting
begins at 6:30 p.m. and
the regular meeting
begins at 7 p.m. at City
Hall, 401 S. Ventura St.

communities struggling with
drought.”
“California is enduring its third
driest year on record at a time
when agricultural, urban and environmental demands for water are
at an all-time high,” states the press
release. “A study released by the
University of California Davis on
Tuesday reported that the drought
will cause losses of $880 million in
crop revenue, $203 million in dairy
and other livestock value and additional groundwater pumping costs
of $454 million. The total statewide
economic cost of the 2014 drought
is estimated to be $2.2 billion, with
a loss of more than 17,000 seasonal
and part time jobs.”
Currently, Casitas Municipal
Water District is offering free water
surveys to assess customer water
usage indoors and outdoors and
find potential leaks/losses, as well
as encouraging voluntary conservation with a series of banners
posted around the valley. Meiners
Oaks Water District has drafted a
Drought Contingency Plan and has
committed to adopting any measures CMWD enacts, revising an old
tiered water rate with increases effective September and implementing a “CMWD surcharge.”
“California is in the midst of the
worst short-term drought in
recorded history, which has adversely affected Meiners Oaks
Water District (MOWD). By fall of
2013, the pumping capacity of the
District’s wells had dropped so low
that, for a time, MOWD had to purchase all of its water from Casitas
Municipal Water District. Although
heavy rains in late February and
early March of 2014 have improved
groundwater levels, the drought is
not over,” states the MOWD website. “MOWD uses chlorine for disinfecting its well water, while
Casitas MWD uses chloramines
(chlorine with a small amount of
ammonia added). Blending those
two types of disinfectants can create problems at low mixing rates.
For that reason, we cannot run our
wells when their flow is too low to
mix properly with Casitas water.
That is another reason we may
need to stop using our wells in
drought conditions.”
MOWD general manager Mike
Hollebrands could not be reached
for comment at time of press.
Golden State Water Company did
not provide comment by press
time.
When asked whether CMWD
would begin implementing the
$500 fines, CMWD public affairs
manager Ron Merckling said, “We
are going to bring the issue to the
board on Monday during the resource management meeting.
We’re looking at the same kind of
direction as the state mandate. We
encourage all of our customers to
seriously take the direction that the
state has given. We have, locally, a
very limited water supply, so it’s of
benefit to us if we can conserve
during this drought. The lake (Casitas) is at a level not seen since
1968: below 50 percent.”

(U.K. 2014)
Sunday at
4:30 p.m. at
the Ojai Playhouse,
145 E. Ojai Ave., with a
repeat screening July
26 at 4:30 p.m. This
film is rated PG.
Admission is $10 for

for seniors (65 and
older) and students
(with full-time student ID). OFS subscriber IDs are not
valid in the summer.
All summer films will
have a second screen-
ing the followig Saturday.
“Belle” is inspired by
the true story of Dido
Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate daughter of
Admiral Sir John Lindsay and an African
woman named Maria
Belle. Dido was raised
in England as a free
gentlewoman by her
aristocratic
greatuncle Lord Mansfield
and his wife. Though
her lineage affords her
certain
privileges,
there are limits. After
meeting an idealistic
young man, he and
Belle help shape Lord
Mansfield’s opinions,
as lord chief justice, in
early landmark rulings on slavery.
Mbatha-Raw is luminous as Dido. And
the supporting cast,
including Matthew
Goode,
Miranda
Richardson, Tom Felton and Emily Watson,
are predictably flawless.
“It’s an old-fashioned movie with a
very modern streak,
centered by a vibrant
star turn by MbathaRaw, whose watchful,
wise Dido makes an
enchanting heroine.”

OJAI VALLEY MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION
Dan Nelson
Depend on Jesus for healing
Sometimes Jesus surprises me. When dealing
with people he has the
insight and understanding regarding realities
that I am often unaware
of and fail to even consider. In my own life God
works in ways that are
contrary to my expectations and I have learned
that his plans are always
better. As a pastor I desire to see people truly
helped, but the real need
is sometimes not obvious and beyond my ability to quickly recognize
it. Closely examining
Jesus’ ministry often
brings unexpected revelations to me that apply
to my life as well as those
that I desire to help. One
such example that fascinates me is the way he
handled the lame man in
John 5.
Here is the scenario:
There was a man who
was immobile for 38
years having some debilitating illness. He had to
rely on others for just
about everything. Basic
necessities for life such
as
acquiring
food,
changing clothes, and
handling
“bathroom
needs” required the help
of others. Being in his
situation for so long had
additional unintended
consequences. Everyone
began to know him as
one of the local town
beggars. People may
have grown tired of the
ongoing prayer need. It
seems that this man had
really given up on the
hope that he would ever
be healed. Although he
hung around “the miracle pool” where others
were being healed, it
seems that there was no
expectation that this guy
would ever be whole.
Compassion is a quality that Jesus had in generous supply. What
amazes me is the application of this compassion that brings real
help. He said something
that sounds kind of
dumb at first glance; he
asked this man, “Do you
want to be healed?” One
can’t help but stop and
say, “C’mon, Jesus, what
kind of question is that?
Of course he wants to be
healed!” After further
contemplation
and
prayer I realized that this
question had unexpected wisdom into a
decision that this man
needed to make.
As I consider the people that I have been involved with over the
years, I think that same
question would be very
appropriate. You see, I
have seen many people’s
lives
completely
changed. I have witnessed people being
healed of all sorts of

tion will most likely require transition because
the subsidy for the infirm won’t apply. All of
the friends and associates that he hangs
around with everyday
will also need to change
for he will be busy with a
whole new life. While he
is used to being on the
receiving end of generosity and help, he
must now become part
of the answer to help
others. Everything about
his life will be new. Further, any excuse for not
being able to accomplish
his dreams, fulfill his
purpose, contribute to
society, get along with
others, keep a job, pay
the rent, and help other
people will be gone; he
will be “whole.” That
means that his entire life
will be different tomorrow and he will be heading straight forward into
untraveled territory. This
can be a fearful place
and many people simply
do not like stepping outside of their experience.
We are talking about
much more than having
your comfort zone
stretched, but an extreme make-over into
the unknown.
When faced with the
challenge, this man’s response is equally revealing; he said, “I have no
man to help me.” Maybe
that is part of the problem. Are we saying the
same thing when challenged? Are we looking
to our understanding,
waiting for some “man”
to help instead of relying
on God? There are myriads of ways that people
look to the inability of
others to provide real
help and say, “I have no
man to help me.” Maybe
the deficiency is in trying
to find a man. This guy
had a way that he
thought he could be
helped if he only had a
man to help him. As a
pastor I might be
tempted to step in and
say, “I am here to help.”
This guy knew what he
thought
someone
should do to help him;
pick him up, hold him
until the right time, and
throw him into the miracle healing waters. In
order to help, this person
would need faith to believe, willingness to help,
physical strength and
stamina, perseverance
and patience not to give
up after a short time. He
would need to be attentive, keeping his eyes on
the water, for at the
soonest sign of the stirring, the helper would
have to be quick to get
his patient in. In other
words, the man that
would be healed was expecting to essentially do
nothing and the one he
hoped to “help” would
do everything. The infirm man would merely
wait until someone else
provided his healing.
That sounds like people
I know today. However,
Jesus had a higher plan.
Jesus spoke with genuine understanding, authority, and power! As he
informed the man that
this would happen differently than expected,
Jesus commanded him
to get himself up, pick up
his own bed, and walk
out of there himself. Unlike my tendency, Jesus
would not be assisting
this man to his feet,
Jesus would not be helping him carry his stuff,
and Jesus would not be
walking him out. This
man was to do it
himself! God’s miracle
power mixed with his
own personal life-changing decision. He would
really need to “want to
be healed” and be willing to live a whole new
life. How about you?
What is your pain? Do
you want to be healed?

things from physical illness and disease to addictions,
emotional
wounds, and spiritual
pain. I have also prayed
for people that seem to
struggle in the same
place year after year after
year. I understand that
not everybody is intended by God to be
healed
of
their
affliction. In the case of
the Apostle Paul, suffering was a way that God
was working a different
purpose in his life and
ministry. But for some
people that I know, one
has to wonder if Jesus’
question to this man
isn’t the same inquiry
they should be asking
themselves: “Do you
want to be healed?”
On the surface, of
course, most would answer with an immediate
and resounding “Yes,”
but look deeper for a
moment. There is a lot
more to this than just
saying goodbye to pain.
If this man is healed by
Jesus, he is going to have
to enter a whole new
way of living that he has
not done in 38 years,
probably ever. If he is no
longer diseased, that
means that his source of
income must change for
he will not qualify for
free money. He will have
to be trained and get a
job. His housing situa-

Featured letter by Jim Hines, Sierra Club, Los Padres Chapter
Scaled-back protection for endangered species could spell the end for many
I have become very concerned
about the lack of state and federal
endangered species act protection
for a number of plant, fish, marine
mammal, bird, reptile, amphibians
and mammals in the Sierra Club
Los Padres Chapter region (Ventura
and Santa Barbara counties).
That the U.S. Department of the
Interior (on orders of a presidential
directive) has begun the process to
scale back habitat protection for all
federally listed endangered species,
coupled with the fact that the U.S.
Congress has not provided any
monies to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) to develop and
carry out the required Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP) for each
listed species, spells grave danger
for the future of all species listed.
Here in our chapter region, over
100 species are listed and are proposed for listing by the USFWS.
Many “lesser” species may never
make it such as the Vandenberg
monkey flower, Santa Susana
checker flower, arroyo toad and redlegged frog, to name a few.
Many majestic species which at-
tract the attention of the general
public because of their great beauty
are also facing a severe crisis of survival.
The “Species in Peril” campaign is
a program which the Los Padres
Chapter will focus efforts on saving
the majestic symbols of our chapter’s great wild places. Habitats
need to be protected and expanded,
recovery programs need to be fully
funded and participation is needed
in the early stages of planning documents, EIR/EISC.U.P. development, with a major emphasis on
protecting the wildlife of our region.
“Species in Peril” are:
• California condor: The spectacular living symbol of our chapter.
Threatened by budget cuts, loss of
habitat to urban growth, uncontrolled oil drilling-fracking operations on lands surrounding the
protected Condor Sanctuary north
of Fillmore, Calif.
• California sea otters: Threatened
by unregulated commercial fishing
operations laying miles of nylon
fishing nets under the ocean, sea
otters are easily entangled in these
nets. Lack of enforcement by the
National Marine Fisheries Service
has seen an increase in sea otter
deaths.
• Pacific leatherback sea turtles:
Our world’s largest marine turtle is
threatened with the same situation
as the sea otters are. Marine mammals are also exposed to toxic
chemicals being dumped into the
Santa Barbara Channel by offshore
fracking operations on federal
leases.
• Steelhead trout: Habitat destruction along our chapter’s major river
ecosystems are destroying steelhead habitat. The recent lack of federally required water releases have
caused recent large scale steelhead
trout deaths on the Santa Ynez
River.
• Bighorn sheep: Loss of natural
migration routes between the San
Gabriel Mountains and the Sespe
Wilderness area. I have requested
that Caltrans study the suitability of
a wildlife underpass under Interstate 5 to ensure sheep herds can
safely travel to their native habitats.
• Kit fox: This endangered burrow-
ing fox would see expanded habitat
protection with the expansion of
several federal wilderness areas
under recently introduced congressional legislation.
• Mountain lions: While not currently an endangered species, the
state of California is studying the
issue of protecting mountain lions
within the Santa Monica Mountains
as a threatened species. The loss of
habitat and migration routes due to
massive urban development within
these mountains has caused lion
populations to fragment. Lion inner
breeding is now the only way for
several cats to reproduce; this is not
a positive sign.
My list could go on and on. Western pond turtles, snowy plovers,
least terns, peregrine falcons and
flycatchers, to name just a few.
Our chapter region is home to one
of the most diverse arrays of ecosystems and wildlife species, both onshore and offshore, of any in our
nation.
It would truly be a sad day when
so many of our endangered species
become extinct.

Foot draggers
throw out blame
RON LOWE, SANTA MONICA
Will it ever stop? For
the past five years the
Republicans and Tea
Party have stalled the
economy and obstructed the government all the while
blaming it on President Obama.
The Republicans
have been blaming
Obama for dragging
his feet on immigration reform when anyone with half a brain
knows that the Republicans have been the
culprits blocking immigration legislation.
In fact, House Speaker
John Boehner (ROhio) won’t even bring
bills regarding immigration to the House
floor.
President Obama is
proposing to help the
present situation of
the influx of children
from Central America
with an outlay of $3.7
billion. But no, our
cynical “do-nothing”
Republicans balk, offering a litany of phony
excuses to cover their
tracks.

Pooch Parade
DENISE J. BAKER, OAK VIEW
Nine years ago, my
then 5-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi,
Denby Dog, lost his
ability to eat, drink
and blink. Thanks to
outstanding and innovative vet care Denby
received from Dr.
Robert Fryer at the Animal Clinic of Oak
View (ACOOV), he didn’t die but thrived
thanks to a feeding
tube and ongoing vet
care. In fact, Denby recently celebrated his
13th birthday. Sadly,
Denby has been diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy (DM)
a genetic disease similar to Lou Gehrig’s disease and now uses a
cart to get around in
since DM has stolen
his ability to walk or
run or even stand.
Thanks to ACOOV,
who provide Denby
with the best care possible, Denby leads an
active life and this
Sunday, July 20, he will
be participating in the
annual C.A.R.L. Pooch
Parade and Pet Expo
held at the San Buenaventura State Beach
beginning at 9 a.m.
(Visit C.A.R.L.’s website
for more information.)
Nordhoff High School
teachers Rene NakaoMauch and Jim Mauch
are honorary chairmen
of the Pooch Parade
this year. Please come
and enjoy the Pet Expo
while supporting a
worthwhile local organization.
Keep a lookout for
Team Denby and a
little dog in a cart who
continues to “Corgi
On, Corgi Strong.”
Dogs are encouraged
to come and bring
their pet parents too!
Volunteers are
truly appreciated
EMILY MORINO, OJAI

I’ll walk on with a song in my soul
In that highly esteemed
pantheon of Broadway musicals, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel” is a major
pillar supporting the edifice.
And it doesn’t need me, or
anyone else for that matter, to
extol either its charm or multitudinous attributes. It is a
great show because its libretto
is poignant and credible — its
music and lyrics, top drawer.
And when such sterling creativity is interpreted by a fine
ensemble of players, we are
privileged to witness a masterpiece. And that is precisely
what has occurred with the
current
rendering
of
“Carousel” at the Ojai Center
for the Arts.
Even Ebenezer Scrooge at
his misanthropic worst could
not find a flaw in this production. It would be regrettable to
miss it.
Though everyone, every sin-
gle cast member along with
the production crew, is worthy
of high praise, this column is
not a review. Instead it’s a
memory, a reminiscence of a
time long past, 69 years to be
exact. I was then in a ward at
the Oak Knoll Naval Hospital
and critically ill. To the civilian
population unfamiliar with
military hospitals, I can best
describe them as interesting
places, especially in war time
when pain, agony and death
are customarily hovering close
by. But there is often another
side as young men, in all likelihood previously strangers,
are assembled under the same
roof, a cohesion of sorts
evolves. We are bawdy and
boisterous while simultaneously introspective and uncertain. In a 40-bed ward
something is going on all the
time.
Some men need treatment
from machines; some need
bandages and dressings
changed. Some doze. Some
write home. Some make jokes.
And some just stare at the ceiling. And on a lucky day a
group of USO entertainers appeasr for an hour or so. But for
the most part, time hangs
heavy and each individual has
to deal with his own demons,
especially when a nurse, orderly or doctor puts a white
sheet over the moribund body
and face of the mate in the
bed next to you and immediately wheels him out of the
ward never to be seen by any
of us again.
There was a moment or two
when laying with a painful
and intrusive catheter allowing me to urinate while my
weakness disabled me from
holding even a glass of water, I
felt both despondent and depressed and thought death
CHEF RANDY
would alleviate my discomfort. In the bed next to mine
Henry Myrig from Fresno had
his radio on and I heard for the
first time a song which was to
become for me the greatest
anthem of hope and faith ever
written. When it ended I felt I
had received a personal message from heaven which made
me think I was going to get
better and I did. The announcer stated the song was
from “Carousel,” the new
Rodgers and Hammerstein
musical which had just
opened on Broadway. Over
the years it became a standard
and I never heard enough of it.
This past February when
our Art Center held a preview
of the upcoming shows for the
new season, the interlude for
“Carousel” was a rendering of
“You’ll Never Walk Alone,”
sung by Marisa Miculian, a
voice and name unbeknownst
to me. But she sang it with
both the appropriatemixture
of conviction and subdued
schmaltz the song calls for
and all of us who love this
song knew that she knew
what every word meant.
“Walk on through the
wind; walk on through the
rain
Though your dreams be
tossed and thrown.
Walk on. Walk on with
hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk
alone.”
That song alone, and especially sung by Ms. Miculian, is
more than your money’s
worth for a ticket to this remarkable production. As for
myself, it gives me goose flesh
and fervently recallsa magical
time in my life when a song
lifted my spirits so palpably I
could actually feel myself returning to good health.

Try this nutritious vegetable barley soup
This is a hearty vegan
soup that is as tasty as it
is easy to prepare. Even
better than that, barley
is a wholesome, highly
nutritious grain and is
thought to be an excellent food choice for
those concerned about
type 2 diabetes. It contains essential vitamins
(niacin and thiamine)
and minerals (iron,
magnesium, zinc) and is
an excellent source of
dietary fiber. For those
of us who watch our
cholesterol, it is naturally
cholesterol-free
and low in fat.
When I first made this
for my wife many years
ago, I remember her reaction. She said, “I don’t
really like barley or at
least I didn’t until now.”
I like it because it is different. I think you’ll appreciate its nutty flavor
and pleasant chewy texture.
Vegetable Barley Soup
1-1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup chopped
onions
3 cloves garlic,
minced
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1 pound fresh mushrooms
2/3 cup pearl barley
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 large carrots, sliced
1/2 bay leaf
5 cups vegetable
broth
Salt and pepper to
taste
Dash of nutmeg
Saute onions in a large
soup pot on mediumhigh heat for approximately 5 minutes. Clean,
remove stems and cut
mushrooms into quar-
ters. Add garlic, thyme
and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium
and continue cooking
for another 10 minutes.
Add barley, celery, carrots, bay leaf and broth.
Taste this base and if it is
a little watery or not just
tasty enough, add a teaspoon of vegetarian Better Than Bouillon to
perk it up. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat to
medium low, cover and
simmer for 30 to 35 minutes or until barley is
tender.
Add nutmeg and salt
and pepper. Remove bay
leaf before serving. I like
to serve this to our
friends and family with a
dollop of sour cream on
top.

Ivan Jauregui (No. 74) and Jesus Hernandez (No. 55) are returning starters on the
Nordhoff offensive line this season. NHS has a proud tradition of producing some of
Ventura County’s best high school linemen and the big guys up front will be a force
for the Rangers in 2014.
Jauregui and Hernandez to anchor
Nordhoff varsity offensive line
Mike Miller
Over the years, the
Nordhoff football program has enjoyed a long
line of great offensive
linemen. With the 2014
season approaching, the
Rangers will once again
be powered by a solid
group up front. This season, Nordhoff welcomes
back two starters from
last year’s unit in Ivan
Jauregui and Jesus Hernandez.
Both Jauregui and
Hernandez were key
contributors in last
year’s CIF Southern Section title run and they
both believe there are
big things on the horizon this season. Hernandez said, “We have been
working out a lot and
putting in the time to get
stronger and improve
our technique.” According to both Jauregui and
Hernandez,
working
with assistant coach
Lance Wiggins this summer has helped their
growth on and off the
field. “I really like coach
Wiggins’ character. I also
like the way he gets us
going and he is great at
teaching the fundamentals,” said Hernandez.
With first-year head
coach Erik Monson
bringing a new offensive
scheme to Nordhoff, the
linemen will be counted
on to learn quickly, but
Jauregui thinks things
are going well. He said,
“The playbook is more
complicated and there
are more plays, but a lot
of the blocking schemes
are the same as coach
(Tony) Henney’s. There
is a lot to learn, but I
think we have it down
pretty good.”
According to Monson,
the Rangers are going to
use a lot of no-huddle
and they will rely heavily
on their ground attack
and that is fine with the
big boys in the trenches.
Hernandez said, “I like
run blocking the best. In
pass protection you are
more passive but run
blocking is fun because
you can really hit people.” Jauregui concurred
with his blocking mate.
“I like run blocking because you can get pancake blocks, which is a
lot of fun,” he said.
In addition to Jauregui
and Hernandez, Nordhoff fans can also expect
to see Austin Baker,
Brandon
Ocheltree,
Spencer Bliss, Homero
Espana, and Will Moses
along the offensive line
this season. According to
most close to the team,
the offensive line unit
will likely be the strength
of this year’s team provided everyone can stay
healthy. “I think we have
a very good group of
guys and we’ll carry the
team this year,” said
Hernandez.
Jauregui has assumed
a leadership role this
summer and is relying
on the words of last
year’s team captain Allen
Rogers. “He told me that
this year I needed to step
up and lead by example.
I am trying to be the first
guy off the ball and the
last one to leave the
weight room,” he noted.
According to Jauregui,
the linemen are anxiously awaiting the start
of the season but until
then they will be in the
weight room three to
four days a week. “We
also do a lot of running
together and we practice
drills to stay sharp.”
Both Jauregui and
Hernandez believe the
Rangers can win a TriValley League title this
year. Hernandez concluded by saying, “It will
be tough. We have Fillmore coming up from
the Frontier League and
they deserve our respect. Bishop Diego is
always very competitive,
but I think we can win
league.”
The Rangers will open
their 2014 season on the
road against Channel Islands Aug. 29.
The Sundowners’ season reached the threequarter mark this past
Tuesday at the Soule Park
Golf Course. The back
nine has proven to be
much more difficult for
the league this year, and
the league as a whole put
up lower point totals
than average. The race to
the playoffs and second
half awards will heat up
over the next four weeks
and there figures to be
quite a bit of movement
among the top teams.
The Soule Park Hookers were able to maintain
their lead in the second
half of the season behind
a very respectable 60
points on the day. They
showed great consistency
by having three of their
players shoot for 20
points on the day. Jerry
Martin, Erik Wachter, and
Tom Husted all posted
great rounds. They sit
with 243 points for the
second half of the season
and are climbing up the
season standings as well.
There are four teams
tied for second place on
the second half of the
season. The Scramblers,
JL's Junkyard, Bugsy's
Bandits, and The Characters all have 238 points
on the second half and
are only five points behind the Hookers. The
Scramblers saw Matt
Buck continue his hot
play by firing a gross 36
for 23 points. Junkyard
was led by Robin
Williams’ gross 33 for 21
points and Scott Snowbarger's gross 35 for 20
points. Williams posted
the low gross round of
the day and tied the low
gross round of the year
for any player.
Bugsy's Bandits has
been perhaps the most
consistent team of the
year. They have constantly been around the
top of the leader board
and this week was no exception. The Bandits
were led by Scott
Chasse's 41 for 21 points
and Ron Rood's 46 for 19
points. The Characters
also continued their good
play by firing 61 points
on the day. Victor Logan
once again played well,
managing to shoot a
gross 36 for 22 points. He
was supported by Craig
Dzukola's gross 42 for 20
points. Logan still holds
the title of most points on
the year.
On the season, Chiefs
IE were able to retain
their lead thanks to Troy
Erickson's round of a
gross 38 for 23 points.
They had 61 points on
the day to slightly
lengthen their season
lead. Second place on the
season is held by the
Weapons of Grass Destruction, who saw Josh
Lech birdie his first hole
on the way to a gross 38
for 20 points. The Characters and Bugsy's Bandits sit in a tie for third
place on the season with
693 points. The Soule
Park Hookers were able
to ride their 60 points on
the week all the way into
the fifth spot on the season. A battle is shaping
up for the final playoff
spots as much of the field
is bunched after the leaders.
The highest point total
of the day was recorded
by Buck Crook, who shot
his best round of the year
in scoring a gross 38 for
25 points. Crook was the
highest point total of the
day by a long shot as
most players struggled
on the day. Skins in the A
Flight were won by Josh
Lech, Pat Kearns, Josh
Young, Rick Dowden, and

Food drive will benefit low-income families
Karen Kaminsky, director at Help of Ojai’s
Valley Outreach, received a call from
Danny Rhoades, manager of the local Vons
store. He had an offer
she could not refuse:
Ojai’s Vons is running a
month-long food drive
to fill up Help of Ojai’s
food pantry shelves. It
started July 7 and will
run through Aug. 3.
This is part of a larger
Southern
California
food drive among Vons
stores. Each Vons may
select a local pantry to
contribute to. All the
food donated at the Ojai
Vons stays in the Ojai
Valley to benefit low-income families.
Help of Ojai’s food
pantry, at 108 Fox St,
serves an average of 175
food clients per month.
The majority come to
Fox Street for once-amonth food boxes. A
smaller number of shutins get a food bag delivered by Help of Ojai
volunteers twice a
month. Volunteers staff
Help’s pantry, which is
managed by Liz van
Pelt.
“Our pantry is delighted to receive this
bounty at a time when
our larder becomes depleted,” said Kaminsky.
Help of Ojai will also
share a percentage of
the food drive with the
valley’s three local
church pantries to shore
up their shelves.
VCAS to check
pet licenses
On Sunday, July 20,
and Saturday, July 26, license
ambassadors
from Ventura County
Animal Services (VCAS)
will go door-to-door in
Ojai to check that pet
owners are up-to-date
with their current state
of California animal licensing requirements.
VCAS license ambassadors will verify the status of pet licenses, sell
and renew licenses at
the door and distribute
dog spay-neuter vouchers that reduce the cost
of pet sterilization.
To help prevent the
spread of rabies, the
state of California requires all pet owners to
vaccinate against rabies
and purchase a license
within 30 days of acquiring a new dog, or with a
puppy, after it is 4
months of age. A rabies
certificate is valid for a
minimum of 12 months
and is required to receive an actual license
tag.
The fees for purchasing a Ventura County animal license are $20 for
spayed and/or neutered
animals (with proof of
sterility) or $75 for unaltered animals. The
prices double for licenses that are allowed
to lapse beyond 30 days
from the expiration date.
For more information
on licensing and/or lowcost rabies clinics, call
388-4341 or go to
www.vcas.us.

VCCF awards local students with scholarships
The Ventura County
Community Foundation
(VCCF) awarded nearly
$1.3 million in scholarships at the recent Scholarship Awards Reception
at the Ventura County
Office of Education in
Camarillo, attended by
more than 400 students,
their families and the
donors who made the
awards possible.
Almost 270 local students received 323 scholarships
from
the
Community Foundation
for college and career
training.
“These scholarships
are made possible by the
hundreds of donors who
wish to invest in the future of Ventura County,
and what better way
than to support our
youth,” said Hugh Ralston, VCCF president
and CEO. “These scholarships make the difference for many Ventura
County students. One
student noted his scholarship meant he could
make a living with his
brain and not his back.
The opportunity to go to
college can change a student, a family and a
community for the better.”
Scholarship recipients
from the Ojai Valley included:
• Oak View: Brandon
Boyd, Berenice Barnard
Music Specialist ($1,000);
Rebecca Guadiana, Mike
