Casitas Springs
may get new
cell tower
Tiobe Barron
Ojai Valley News correspondent
Tomorrow, the Ventura County
Planning Division will hold a public
hearing to discuss and receive
public input regarding two cellphone towers — or Wireless
Communications Facilities (WCF) —
in Casitas Springs.
T-Mobile is requesting a modification and extension to an existing
conditional use permit (C.U.P.) for a
Southern California Edison-owned
property at 8139 N. Ventura Ave. in
Casitas Springs. T-Mobile owns five
antennae on-site around the base of
a 154-foot SCE lattice tower. Two 4foot panel antennae are mounted
about 72 feet off the ground, and
three others are at 49 feet.
On the adjacent lot, 8195 N.
Ventura Ave., which is also owned by
Southern California Edison (SCE),
Verizon Wireless is requesting a
C.U.P. for a new cell tower with nine
6-foot antennae mounted 78 feet off
the ground and one wireless
microwave antenna 50 feet off the
ground around the base of a 118foot SCE-owned tower. If approved,
the C.U.P. for this project would
expire Aug. 28, 2024.
Ventura County planning staff
deemed both projects have no
serious environmental impacts, as
both are co-located with existing
SCE equipment. The projects were
also deemed to have no serious
visual impacts, as they will not be
highly visible from Highway 33Ventura Avenue. Both projects are
bordered by residential properties to
the north and east, and vacant land
to the south and west. Both projects
are required to utilize “building
materials and colors that are
compatible
with
surrounding
terrain” — for example, earth tone,
non-reflective paint. Both towers
must also include information,
posted prominently, for a company
contact person who will be available
24 hours a day, seven days a week to
respond to citizen complaints or
issues at the site.
During a July 21 Municipal Advisory Committee meeting — the
body that provides input to the
County Board of Supervisors on
matters pertaining to the unincorporated areas of the Ojai Valley —
Ojai resident Gail Topping inquired
after the health effects of the
antennae.
Ventura
Planning
manager Brian Baca replied that the
county
is
prohibited
from
addressing cell tower health issues
by
Federal
Communications
Commission (FCC) law. Baca also
noted that if approved, the new
Verizon WCF will be the third WCF

Groups oppose oil well decision
Environmental studies in drilling near condor sanctuary inadequate, watchdogs say
Kimberly Rivers
Ojai Valley News correspondent
Local watchdog groups say the
county of Ventura violated the California Environmental Quality Act
when it approved a plan for two oil
wells to be drilled close to the California Condor Sanctuary near the
Sespe Wilderness.
"The planning department has
allowed an illegal fragmentation of the
project down to two wells, since that
appears to be the level they think can
be mitigated," said John Brooks, Oak
View resident and president of Citizens for Responsible Oil and Gas
(CFROG). "We disagree, and are
concerned with both the projects'
impact and future cumulative impact,
which the county claims they cannot
study — when in fact, environmental
state law demands an environmental
impact report (EIR) for possible
impacts of what is likely to take place,
should oil be located."
CFROG joined Los Padres ForestWatch (LPFW) in filing an appeal of a
recent County Planning director’s
decision. The appeal will be heard
before the planning commissioners
Sept. 25, at the County Government
Center in Ventura.
The project, approved in June by
County Planning Director Kim Prillhart, allows Dos Cuadros Offshore
Resources LLC (DCOR) to drill two
exploratory wells in the Modelo
Canyon oil field located one and a half
miles north of the small rural community of Piru.
The permit also allows various infrastructure and facilities, such as storage
tanks, wider roads, pipelines and a
helicopter landing pad. It is stated in
Ventura County documents the
project will "determine the commercial viability of the reactivation of the
Modelo area of the Piru Oil Field."
According to the website for the
California Division of Oil, Gas and
Geothermal Resources (DOGGR), an
exploratory well is a regular oil and gas
well in every way, other than it is being
drilled in a field that is either untested,
or long untapped. An exploratory well
qualifies for confidential status, which
means the well records — including
monthly production and injection
reports — are not made public. This is
to allow the operator to maintain a
competitive edge regarding the potential economic impacts of new drilling.
Onshore wells are granted confidential
status for a period of two years.
According to ForestWatch, the old
oil field is near Hopper Canyon
National Wildlife Refuge, and the
drilling site is within a half-mile of a
known condor roosting site. The
refuge is a 2,271-acre sanctuary and is
the field base for the California operations of the federal California Condor
Recovery Program. The condor sanctuary is home to release sites, holding
pens, feeding stations and other facilities used for the program. The federal
government has spent decades and
millions of dollars to bring the California condor back from the brink of
extinction. According to the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, just
225 existed in the wild as of June 2014.
"California condors are one of the
world's most endangered birds and
the county must take all measures
necessary to protect them from the
risks
associated
with

Police encourage school zone safety
Yesterday was the first
day of school for Ojai
Unified School District
students. The Ojai Police
Department
reminds
residents of the Ojai Valley to be mindful of children walking or riding
their bicycles to and
from school. Drivers are
reminded to be patient
in or around school
zones as traffic is typically backed up with parents who are attempting
to drop off or pick up
their children at school.
It is recommended that
drivers give themselves
extra time in the mornings, and that they consider an alternate route
during the school hours
of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. to
avoid traffic congestion.
Parents are also reminded to teach their
children proper bicycle
riding safety. Children
under the age of 18 must
wear helmets properly
while riding a bicycle,
scooter or skateboard.
Proper use means buying a good helmet, making sure it fits, and being
sure to buckle the chinstrap, and fitting it properly under the chin.
A bicycle is considered
a vehicle, and the rider
must obey the rules of
the road. This means cyclists must ride the same
direction as cars and
obey stop signs and traffic signals. A majority of
bicycle accidents involve
bicyclists riding the
wrong direction on the
sidewalk or roadway
edge and then entering
an intersection without
stopping.
Remind children to
cross at an intersection
with a crossing guard or
in a marked crosswalk.
Parents should encourage children to continually scan for cars that
may not stop as they are
crossing the street. Drivers, pay attention near
crosswalks and be prepared to stop.
The Ojai Police Department will be providing extra patrols in and
around schools during
the first few weeks of the
school year.

Drilling:
Continued from Page A1
development," said Jeff
Kuyper, executive director of LPFW.
"We hope this appeal
encourages the county to
reevaluate its policies
and to take seriously its
obligation to safeguard
wildlife and water quality."
Kuyper points to a U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) report, which
found that, "The combination of condors and
well pads creates a difficult management challenge for the California
Condor Recovery Program." USFWS presented
23 measures to mitigate
the risks to condors associated with oil drilling
operations.
"Instead of preparing a
full EIR, the County Planning Department prepared a less detailed
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) concluding the project will have
no significant impacts,"
states the press release issued by CFROG and
LPFW. "In addition, the
proposed drill site is approximately 70 feet from
Hopper Creek, a tributary to the Santa Clara
River. The county’s zoning ordinance requires
oil wells and other infrastructure to be placed at
least 300 feet from the
edge of the bank to protect watercourses and
stream habitat."
The county has options
when it comes to the environmental documents
it prepares when considering a discretionary permit. An EIR is the most
detailed and thorough
report; a mitigated negative declaration and a
negative declaration are
below that in terms of the
details, scope and rigor
they provide. "Given the
limited area involved in
the proposed projects
and the implementation
of mitigation measures,
the potential for substantial impacts on the condor or its habitat were
determined to be less
than significant," stated
Prillhart in a letter to interested parties, dated
June 30. "Thus the project was found to be consistent with County
General Plan policy related to biological resources."
At a May 22 hearing before the planning director, members of the
public had an opportunity to present objections
to the project. The
county is required to respond to each issue
raised.
"The MND includes all
of the measures recommended by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service to
protect the California
condors," said Prillhart in
the June 30 approval letter.
"They certainly added
some mitigation measures in response to
USFW notification that
condors were roosting on
the
property,"
said
Brooks of CFROG. "They
got DCOR to drop one
pad. They have not addressed any of the longterm issues such as
condor feeding, wildlife
migration, noise and
dust. They did impose
some original mitigation
measure
but
both
CFROG and LPFW found
them insufficient for test
wells, let alone a reopened field."
In response to concerns over the reopening
of the entire oil field,
Prillhart stated that the
project only allows the
"drilling of two exploratory oil wells and
the testing of these wells
for a five-year period."
Prillhart pointed out that,
should DCOR want to reopen the field, they
would have to apply for a
permit
modification,
which would be subject
to further environmental
review and a public hearing.
However, some members of the public, along
with
the
watchdog
groups, are concerned
the county is not considering the potential of cumulative
effects
of
adding wells over time.
They say they don’t want
the county to wait until
DCOR wants to reopen
the field; they want the
full EIR done in advance.
The watchdog groups say
projects are approved in
a piecemeal fashion, and,
they argue, this creates a
scenario where projects
are approved with insufficient environmental review. LPFW specifically
claims that the environmental document prepared by the county on
this project does not
comply with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
"The analysis does not
take into account the impacts of past drilling in
the Piru Oil Field," said
Kuyper in a letter dated
March 26 to County Planning. "An adequate cumulative
impacts
analysis considers (CEQA
guidelines, including)
'the change in the environment which results
from the incremental impact of the project when
added to other closely related past, present and
reasonably foreseeable
probable
future
projects.'"
Kuyper makes the case
the county "must evaluate the impacts of past
projects," including the
63 abandoned, plugged
and buried wells currently in the field, and
points out the analysis
does not consider "noncounty projects," such as
the drilling that occurs
nearby on federally managed lands — some of
which is within two miles
of the proposed site.
"The analysis does not
evaluate the cumulative
impacts associated with
the possible resurrection
of the Piru Oil Field. The
MND states, ‘if oil is produced, a future application will be made to
expand the operation
with more wells and a
permanent tank facility."
Kuyper asserts that this is
a failure by the county to
property consider the
"cumulative impacts of
the future expansion of
the Piru Oil Field."
He also points out
other oil fields in the surrounding
area:
the
Temescal Oil Field with
Tighter fire restrictions implemented
Towers:
Due to extremely dry
vegetation and an increasing fire danger, Los
Padres National Forest
officials have announced
that Level IV fire restrictions went into effect
Tuesday. The following
restrictions will be rigorously enforced until the
end of the declared fire
season:
• Wood and charcoal
fires are prohibited in all
areas of Los Padres National Forest including
designated campfire use
sites; however persons
with a valid California
campfire permit are allowed to use portable
stoves and lanterns using
gas, jellied petroleum or
pressurized liquid fuel
within the designated
campfire use sites only.
You must clear all flammable material for a distance of 5 feet in all
directions from your
camp stove, have a
shovel available, and ensure that a responsible
person attends the stove
at all times when it is in
project at that location.
The Planning Division
will decide to approve or
deny the T-Mobile and
Verizon requests after
Thursday’s
hearing,
which will begin at 1 p.m.
in the Santa Cruz Conference Room at the Ventura
County Government Center, 800 S. Victoria Ave., in
Ventura. The public is encouraged to come.

50 wells (22 active), and
Hopper Canyon Oil Field
with 71 wells (10 active).
Kuyper said all of this
should have been considered as part of the cumulative analysis.
So, too, should a study
of hydraulic fracturing,
project opponents said
during the public input
on the project. Questions
were raised about the
fact that, to date, no environmental studies have
been performed on the
impacts of hydraulic
fracturing, and so the
county should study the
potential impacts.
"The applicant specifically removed the potential
for
hydraulic
fracturing and acid well
stimulation from the proposed project description," said Prillhart in the
June 30 letter. "Condition
of approval No. 1 of the
permit includes a prohibition of these well stimulation techniques." She
explained that the county
is not allowed to analyze
these techniques in its
review of environmental
impacts, because the
project has specifically
eliminated them from
the description. If they
were a part of the project,
the county would then
have to consider them.
She said if DCOR wants
to use those methods —
which are specifically
prohibited by the permit
— they would have to
apply for a permit modification, which would be
subject to additional review under CEQA.
Yet another worry discussed at the meeting
was water usage, since all
oil and gas operations require water. The county
received comments regarding the lack of information on the amount of
water DCOR will use in
the construction and operation of this project.
"The temporary (onetime) consumption of
approximately one acrefoot of groundwater over
the five-year project life
does not have the potential to significantly impact water resources,"
said Prillhart in her June
30 letter. One acre-foot is
about 326,700 gallons of
water. Generally, this is
the amount used in planning when looking at
how much water a
household would use in a
year. Prillhart said that
the county's planning
guidelines state, "any
land use or project which
would result in 1.0 acrefeet or less of net annual
increase in groundwater
extraction is not considered to have a significant
project or cumulative impact on groundwater
quantity."
Brooks took issue with
that. "The current project
of test wells would consume a minimum of an
acre-foot of water from
(water) wells on the
property," said Brooks.
"There has been no consideration of whether
that will impact nearby
agriculture or other well
users and certainly no review at all of where the
water will come from
should they drill more
wells and frack in the future."

what he had thought about the people, the war and the country were very different than what he remembered. Inspired by his journey and discovery, he began
to paint the people he'd met. He has since returned to the region three times,
and has begun several projects, including a film. The Primavera Gallery show will
display some of Chambers' pieces, and proceeds will benefit his work in the region. There is no charge to attend the show. Visit www.primavera

It’s time for Burning Man and Labor Day
tions are occurring because new realities are
about to emerge. Previous realities are still
present, but this too is
temporary.
Visualize
your wants and needs. It
creates a magnet drawing to you new ideas,
values and resources.
PISCES: Tend to all
duties and responsibilities.
Something
or
someone at home needs
reordering, revitalizing
and reorganization. Set
aside time to make all
environments clear and
clean. Then a deeper
creativity comes forth.
You’re concerned with a
domestic situation and
at times there is a great
tension. You also may be
considering
great
changes in where you
live and work. Nothing
moves
forward
as
planned.
Another,

If you are thinking of buying or selling...
Please give me a call
around, upside down.
This is particularly emphasized within relationships, and people at
work. Be the harmonizer, listening well and
carefully. Daily reality
seems somehow on the
precipice of falling
down. It is and you’re capable of easing yourself
through it.
AQUARIUS: Do you
feel as if life has slowed
down, money is hidden
away somewhere not to
be found, there’s a sense
of restriction letting
yourself be seen, and
decisions are difficult to
bring forth? These situa-
Vi
through on. Share with
others your needs,
hopes, wishes and the
wounds that continue to
hurt. Sharing allows a
new self-identity to
form, as the old ways
pass away.
SCORPIO: Do be careful of quick opinions
and judgments, of sharing controversial ideas
with those who cannot
share your views. Be
careful with how you
speak with friends, those
living at a distance from
you, and those with different cultural backgrounds. I would not
travel at this time unless
it’s necessary. Be cautious, be concerned and
very aware of all communications. You’re creating a new identity.
What you say today
changes tomorrow.
SAGITTARIUS: Before
launching yourself into
a new adventure take
the time to tend to family and loved ones.
There’s something being
missed at home and
there’s wounding being
revealed.
Be
your
charming self, make
contact, assure them of
your devotion and provide them with the care
they can understand.
This allows you freedom
and liberty for upcoming adventures, changes
and new endeavors. You
understand this.
CAPRICORN: Do all
you can to allow communication to flow easily. There may be
misunderstandings in
how people listen or feel
heard. Everyone’s ability
to speak seems turned
os
ARIES: What’s occurring at home and work,
and what are the conflicts? There’s a sense of
responsibility at work, a
heaviness perhaps with
so much needing completion. You will have
help even while feeling
quite alone. Work seems
like it’s shifting daily and
that too is a pressure.
Gather colleagues, ask
for help, know the relentless changes are
preparing you for later
leadership.
TAURUS: Having been
freed from a previous responsibility and service
you now step into a state
of reflection and assessment. You become attentive to goals and
future needs. You will
make intelligent decisions about your life
even though there’s
added tension developing everywhere in the
world. It’s the sign of the
times and the challenge
of this tension brings us
to pay attention to matters close at hand. Clearing your environment is
your task.
GEMINI: The issues
you’re facing now ask
you to retreat into your
home and garden. There
you decide how much of
yourself can be in the
world and how much
stays behind. You must
build a strong immune
system. This is an important time to focus on
your innermost self.
You’re strong and thus
capable of accomplishing all required spiritual
work. Begin each day by
tending to yourself first.
CANCER: Seek, ask for
and then share intelligent ideas and conversations with others. This
stimulates your mind
and heart, soothes any
wounds you harbor
about your intellectual
abilities, and brings a
new foundation to all relationships. If there’s illness and tiredness, it’s
the need for more sleep,
complex vitamin B’s, adrenal support and exercise. Careful about
spending on unneeded
items. It’s time for study
about something you’re
interested in.
LEO: You may be
working alone. For some
Leos this isn’t unusual.
For others there may be
a feeling of being
stranded. This is temporary. It’s a time of retreat,
of gathering necessary
energy, tending the
home fires — finances,
daily life, sorting, organizing, reviewing and removing what is no
longer needed. This includes belief systems
not supporting happiness and joy. What does
for you? Create an ongoing list.
VIRGO: Some Virgos
feel an overwhelming
pressure to do something — more work,
more responsibility, create structures and spiritual rhythms bringing
order to daily life. Some
Virgos wonder about the
future,
worrying
if
there’s no clear path
they’re lost. These are
the times when gardening brings us to the present, eliminates shadows
of doubt, helps one cooperate with the unseen
world. What is in your
garden?
LIBRA: Your work
world and daily life have
been in a state of change
for the past many years.
This month and beyond
restructuring will continue to occur, bringing
forth new agendas, ideas
and programs to follow

OJAI VILLAGE VETERINARY HOSPITAL
OFFER EXPIRES 9/30/14 • PLEASE
PRESENT THIS SAVINGS COUPON
Ojai Village Veterinary Hospital is
proud to offer alternative treatment to
complement our conventional care.
Laser therapy is a noninvasive, painfree, surgery-free, drug-free treatment
option available for both dogs and cats.
Laser therapy is extremely effective
and in many cases is a more effective
alternative to pharmaceuticals.
Studies have shown the ability to
promote healing as much as three
times faster then conventional
treatment procedures.
PICTURED:
A Labrador
Retriever receives
laser therapy on a
cruciate ligament
suture area. The
laser treats pain
and swelling,
and speeds up
healing in soft tissues, muscle and skin. The procedure
takes only minutes, and can be a pivotal way to
help your pet return to normal activity rapidly.
Alternative Veterinary Care
Laser Therapy Treatment
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is the use of specific
wavelengths of light to treat painful
and debilitating conditions.
How does it work?
Light energy enters the damaged cells
and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This
reduces pain in the area and speeds
recovery of the damaged cells. Once the
cells recover, the healing process is
complete.
What can my pet expect
during treatment?
Laser therapy is a PAINLESS treatment
that lasts an average of 3 minutes. Your
pet may experience a comfortable
sensation at the point of application.
What can my pet expect
after treatment?
Most patients see positive results in one
to three treatments. Acute conditions can
subside with as few as one set of treatments.
Chronic conditions can be managed with
regular monthly treatment. And there
are no know negative side effects.
Often, pain medication can be reduced or
eliminated after laser therapy tratment.

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, not on the
property itself. Placing the
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 the county
recorder’s office or a 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
PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this
notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times
by the mortgagee,
beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to section
2924g of the California Civil
Code. The law requires that
information about trustee
sale postponements be made
available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your
sale date has been postponed,
and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date
for the sale of this property,
you may call (619)590-1221
or visit the internet website
www.dlppllc.com, using the
file number assigned to this
case 1386533-31.
Information about
postponements that are very
short in duration or that
occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or
on the Internet Web Site. The
best way to verify
postponement information is
to attend the scheduled sale.

Ojai man wins world
title in bodysurfing
Photo by Ken Brown
Nordhoff head coach Erik Monson (in yellow) and the Rangers will face a tough 2014 schedule this fall, but NHS
should provide plenty of excitement for Ranger fans this season. The Rangers will open their season Friday on the
road vs. Channel Islands.
Nordhoff football
Ranger varsity season preview and team roster
Mike Miller
The 2014 season will be one of
transition for the Nordhoff
Rangers. Under first-year head
coach Erik Monson, the Rangers
will be searching for a new identity
after coming off back-to-back CIF
Southern Section Northwest Division titles.
Even though the Rangers did
lose a number of key players off
last year’s team, they do have a core
group coming back that will help
as they look to take on a very difficult 2014 schedule. When asked
what he thought the strength of
this year’s team will be, Monson
said, “Leadership and confidence
of the senior group of players. They
are proven winners, who like to
compete and play together as a
group.”
Another area the Rangers will be
strong in this season is along their
offensive line. Seniors Jesus Hernandez and Ivan Jauregui were key
members of last year’s unit and
they are back again this season.
Hernandez and Jauregui will be
joined by an up and coming group
of linemen and should once again
be a solid unit for the Rangers.
On the other side of the ball, the
defensive line has also be tabbed a
strength by Monson. He mentioned the defensive line will be
deep and they will rotate in a number of players throughout the season. So far this summer, junior
Spencer Bliss and senior William
Blake have earned the praise of the
coaching staff and figure to be key
contributors along the line.
In addition to the powerful offensive and defensive lines, Monson has been pleased with the
development of senior quarterback Austin Santino. Santino has
been waiting for his opportunity to
become the starting quarterback
for the Rangers and he has been
working hard over the off-season.
Monson describes Santino as “ a
strong armed, smart quarterback
who can be the conductor of this
offense.” Last season Santino did
see some action so he is no
stranger to playing at the varsity
level. A year ago he completed
seven of 11 passes for 100 yards
and a touchdown and he ran the
ball 12 times for 64 yards.
The top returning player on both
sides of the ball this season will be
senior Shane Hersh. Hersh will be
featured at both running back and
linebacker for the Rangers in 2014.
As a linebacker, Hersh has been
one of the most productive tacklers
in NHS history and only needs 100
stops this season to overtake Koby
Welch as Nordhoff’s all-time leading tackler. When asked how he felt
the summer was progressing for
the Rangers, Hersh said, “Good! It
is really organized and we are all
starting to understand the offense.”
Understanding the offense will
be key for Hersh in 2014 because
he will be called on to run the ball
a lot for NHS. Last season, he carried the ball 62 times for 388 yards
and five touchdowns. He had a
monster game in a 52-8 blowout
over Santa Paula where he carried
the ball 30 times for 180 yards and
three scores.
When Santino goes to the air, he
will have a number of options including deep threat Max Carmona,
who can outrun most defenders
NHS will see this season. Senior
Baylee Rogers will also be a force in
the passing game and Raad Abasi
has earned praise from his teammates and coaches this summer
and will also see significant action
this fall.
Defensive coordinator Russell
Farrar will rely heavily on Hersh,
but he will benefit from the experience of senior defensive back
Nick Sterling who will likely be
counted on to cover opponents’
best wide outs this season. Atticus
Reyes and Jevon Morrison also figure to play vital roles for the NHS
defense this season. Also back on
defense this season will be Rogers,
who single handedly saved Nordhoff’s 2013 season multiple times
with big plays on defense.
When it comes to special teams,
the Rangers are going to benefit
from having one of California’s
best high school kickers in senior
Cooper Garcia. According to Monson, Garcia has improved over last
season where he nailed a number
of key field goals. “We have a
weapon with Cooper Garcia as our
kicker and punter. He can swing
the field position when he is on.
He has worked extremely hard on
his craft over the off-season
through many football camps.”
Ojai Valley News Prediction: 2014
should be another exciting season
for Nordhoff fans. This year’s
squad has a number of playmakers
and returning players from Nordhoff’s back-to-back title teams.
While it is never easy to change
head coaches and schemes, the
Rangers have shown great
progress as the season approaches. We predict another solid
season for the Rangers despite
what could be a slow start. NHS
goes 7-3 in the regular season, battles Bishop Diego for the Tri-Valley
League title, and qualifies for the
CIF-SS playoffs.
Roster: Baylee Jones, Carlos Hernandez, Dane Campbell, Homero
Espana, Jake Perry, Jared Skaggs,
Joe York, Max Chandler, Scott Barron, Spencer Bliss, Ian Hampel,
Max Carmona, L.J. Davis, Austin
Santino, Nick Sterling, Cooper
Garcia, Nick McGrew, Shane
Hersh, Atticus Reyes, Baylee
Rogers, Jevon Morrison, Raad
Abasi, Miguel Carbajal, Wyatt

Blake, Marc Conley, Michael Martel, Ivan Jauregui, Will Moses,
Casey Crane, and Marcos Diaz.
Hundreds of bodysurfers from around the
world
gathered
in
Oceanside Aug. 16 and
17 to compete in the annual World Bodysurfing
Championships. Along
with competitors from
Hawaii, Brazil and Europe were a handful of
athletes from the Ojai
Valley. Many of the local
bodysurfers have been
attending the World
Bodysurfing Championships their whole
lives, first with parents
who were competing
and now as competitors
themselves.
Bodysurfing contests
operate much like regular surf contests, with
bodysurfers entering the
water as a small group
(wearing different colored swimming caps to
identify the bodysurfers
to the judges), and then
competing for a set
amount of time to catch
the most waves and obtain the highest scores
for the waves they catch.

‘Of Mice and Men’ takes stage Aug. 29
The story “Of Mice
and Men” grows and
unfolds like the
harvests in the verdant
hills of California farms,
the workplace of
workers George and
Lennie who dream of a
better life than deadend dusty work for
chump change.
John Steinbeck’s
novel – borne from his
own experience — was
adapted into this play
while still on the
bestseller list. It is
scheduled for a run on
the Ojai Art Center
Theater’s (Ojai ACT)
stage from Aug. 29
through Sept. 21.
“Steinbeck really had
his hand on the pulse
of humanity,” said
director Richard
Kuhlman whose own
experience brings extra
heart to the play.
Kuhlman was steeped
in the lore and soul of
the Nobel Prizewinning author when
he directed plays at the
Steinbeck Center in
Salinas, including “Of
Mice and Men.”
From that familiarity,
Kuhlman and the cast
have crafted a unique
take telling it as “a
band of brothers story.
Kuhlman’s
excitement about
presenting this classic
also comes from what
he describes as “a really
strong cast overall …
they’re on top of it.”
At that top is veteran
actor Ron Feltner as the
steady and intelligent
George, in contrast
with his best friend and
companion, the
physically powerful and
dim-witted Lennie,
played by Nigel
Chisholm.
The two arrive at a
new ranch and meet a
handful of characters:
old Candy (Doug
Friedlander) and his
old dog (Sascha), the
mean-spirited owner’s
son, Curley, (David
Stewart) and his goodlooking lonely wife
(Jessi May Stevenson).
Their fellow workers
— who are all drawn
into George’s retelling
the vision of having
their own farm —
include the outcast
Crooks (Ezra Ells), Slim
the mule driver (Shayne
Bourbon), the
complainer Carlson
(John Valenzuela) and
ranch hand Whit
(Buddy Wilds). In a twist
on casting, the Boss is
played by a woman
(Susan Franzblau).
The play is produced
by Chelsea Vivian,
whose dog, Sascha,
plays a prominent role
as Candy’s dying mutt.

her recent “Carousel”
success and Janna
Valenzuela is in charge
of making all the
costumes fit the 1930s
era.
Lighting design is
shared by Vivian and
Williams and sound by
Franzblau and
Kuhlman.
Ojai ACT is at 113 S.
Montgomery St.
Performances will be
held at 8 p.m. Fridays
and Saturdays and 2
p.m. Sundays.
Tickets are $18
general admission, $15

$10 for students and
groups of six or more.

‘My Son The Waiter’ will preview
Aug. 27 at Scherr Forum Theatre
“My Son The Waiter
— A Jewish Tragedy”
will preview Aug. 27 at
2:30 and 7:30 p.m. and
will open Aug. 28 at
7:30 p.m., at the Scherr
Forum Theatre at the
Thousand Oaks Civic
Arts Plaza, at 2100
Thousand Oaks Blvd. in
Thousand Oaks.
The show, written
and performed by Brad
Zimmerman, will
continue through Sept.
21.
This hybrid play
weaves a bittersweet
tale of one man’s
lengthy – and we do
mean lengthy –
struggle in New York.
His send-ups on his
family, career,
childhood and
misbegotten lovelife
are as warm and
poignant as they are
hysterical.
“What makes
audiences connect with
this story is that it’s
true,” the 58-year-old
Zimmerman said. “I
really had to struggle as
a waiter until I was in
my mid-50s. My life
began to change when I
wrote a play about my
life starting in 2005.”
For Zimmerman, it’s
been worth the wait as
the show is being seen
by audiences
nationwide. His career
now includes opening
for the late George
Carlin and being Joan
Rivers’ opening act
going on eight years.
Performances are
Wednesdays and
Saturdays at 2:30 p.m.
and 7:30 p.m.,
Thursdays and Fridays
at 7:30 p.m., and
Sundays at 2:30pm.
Tickets can be

SB gallery to host
Frank Kirk solo exhibit
The Sullivan Goss
Gallery in Santa
Barbara will host a solo
exhibition by Frank
Kirk Sept. 4 from 5 to 8
p.m.
Kirk was born in
1933, grew up in the
five boroughs of New
York and was drafted
after high school. Navy
life was full of
camaraderie, but short
on women, so Kirk
learned to draw them:
blondes, brunettes,
redheads, in slinky
numbers and according
to his clients’ tastes, in
even less.
After the Navy, Kirk
enrolled in the School
of Visual Arts in
Manhattan, graduating
in 1956. Eventually, he
was hired onto the
“Hedgescape #3” by Frank Kirk
Volkswagen campaign
at Dane Doyle
Bernbach — the most
legendary ad campaign
of the 20th century at
the most creative firm
of the era. A genuine
Don Draper in the real
life version of “Mad
Men,” Kirk went on to
work on such ad
campaigns for
Elizabeth Arden, Alka
Seltzer, Honda, Isuzu,
Max Factor and Gallo
Wines.
In 1984, Kirk left the
commercial art world
and began painting for
himself. In 1996, he
moved to Santa
Barbara to live a private
life among the high
hedges and winding
streets of the American
Riviera. The gallery
was introduced to him
about a year ago.
Cinematic in scale
and obsessive in their
attention to detail,
Kirk’s landscapes often
feature a single figure,
or sometimes two, to
suggest a story or a
mood. To these, he
often adds the telling
detail. What’s going on
in these
paintings? Who knows?
The sense of magic, of
uncertainty, of
emotional ambivalence
pervades.
The Sullivan Goss
Gallery is at 7 E.
Anapamu St. in Santa
Barabara. Visit
www.sullivangoss.com
for more information.
Ventura County Agriculture Museum will

agriculture and vintage
equipment in the airconditioned historic

Westmont graduates return to stage for new production of ‘The Cherry Orchard’
Several recent
Westmont graduates
return to Porter Theater
to stage a new
production of Anton
Chekhov’s “The Cherry
Orchard,” under the
direction of John
Blondell, Westmont
professor of theater arts.
In the play, Lyubov
Andreevna (Victoria
Finlayson) returns from
Paris to find that the
family estate is in debt
and must be sold. A
local businessman,
Lopakhin (Mitchell
Thomas), has an idea to
sell the estate along
with the adjacent cherry
orchard in order to
develop the property for
leisure homes. The
ensuing action focuses
on whether the estate
will be sold and the
implications for the
family, servants and
hangers-on.
“It presents a typical
situation in early 20thcentury Russia,
depicting all the
characters as deeply
flawed, though
imminently interesting
and likable,” Blondell
said. “This play
resonates deeply with
modern American times,
especially the recent
recession and
accompanying mortgage
meltdown.”
“The Cherry Orchard”
features Lauren White,
Ben Offringa, Paige
Tautz, Chris Wagstaffe,
Michael Bernard, Brian
Harwell, Stan Hoffman,
Jeff Mills, Nina
Sallinen and Matthew
Tavianini. Lighting
design is provided by
Jonathan Hicks and
music composition and
performance is by Jim
Connolly. The stage
manager is Elaine
Galang.
Performances are
scheduled Sept. 4
through Sept. 6, at 7
p.m.
Tickets to the Lit
Moon Theatre
production are $20
general admission, and
$15 for students and
seniors. To purchase
tickets, visit www.west
mont.edu/boxoffice or
call 565-7140.
Harbor Village Gallery will
host collaborative exhibit
The work of
photographer Darlene
Roker and painter
Deborah De Bono are
included in the joint
exhibit Water, Rocks
and Trees: Life into Art,
through Tuesday at
Harbor Village Gallery.
“When Darlene and I
decided to do a show
together, we wanted it
to be more than a
showcase for our
respective genres —
her photography, my
abstracts,” said De
Bono. “We challenged
ourselves to create new
work for the show and
tried to coordinate her
idea of the theme with
mine: not as difficult as
you might think.
Roker, of Ventura, is
a lifelong photographer
who said she only in
the past couple years
has begun exploring it
as an art form. “I’m
always looking to take
the aspects of
impressionistic art —
light and shadow,
reflections, simplicity
of subject — and create
an artistic
representation of
ordinary nature
subjects,” she said.
Since abandoning
her film camera and
going digital, the writer
and 30-year teacher
who retired in 2006 has
taken a course in
beginning photography
and two Photoshop
classes, which have
spurred her creativity
with new tools.
“The choice to stay
realistic or create an
impressionistic image
depends on the
subject,” Roker said.
De Bono, who
worked as a
photographer and
graphic designer for
publishing companies
and web
developer/communicat
ion specialist for a large
insurance firm before
retirement, took art
lessons starting at age
11 and said, “I’ve
always been fascinated
with creating
something on a flat
canvas.”
Each artist has more
than a dozen works on
view this month in
Buenaventura Art
Association’s gallery at
1591 Spinnaker Drive
in Ventura Harbor
Village. It is open 11
a.m. to 6 p.m. daily,
except Tuesdays.
