Chautauqua
panel discusses
fracking impacts
Kimberly Rivers
Ojai Valley News correspondent
For those who have been following
the issue of hydraulic fracturing
recently, it is easy to understand that it
is not a single-faceted issue. But as you
dive in, other angles emerge. There are
the obvious, much-discussed concerns
— environmental impact, adequate
oversight, water use, jobs and effects on
the economy and so on. And then when
you dig a bit deeper you find the other
layers of issues — antiquated permits,
induced seismicity, oil field waste
management, and effects of truck
traffic, among others.
Last Sunday's panel discussion on
hydraulic fracturing, held by Ojai Chautauqua, dove into many of these issues,
and may have left the attendants with
more questions than when they
arrived. And that was intentional. “If
you have more questions now than you
did two hours ago, we succeeded,” said
Tom Krause, chair of the Ojai Chautauqua committee, in his closing
remarks.
The Chautauqua community group
formed around a desire to host events
where the community would hear
“good information on important,
complex and controversial subjects,”
and hydraulic fracturing — or fracking
— seemed to meet those criteria.
Krause emphasized the group has no
political agenda and encourages no
action. Rather, they are “trying to illuminate the issue.”
About 174 people, mostly from the
Ojai area, attended the panel discussion on Sunday evening, held at the
Ojai Valley Inn & Spa. Kit Stoltz, an
award-winning science and environmental journalist who has written for
the Ojai Valley News, moderated the
discussion. The speakers on the panel
were: Don Clark, a petroleum geologist
who has worked in California for oil
companies and city governments; Craig
Nicholson, a geophysicist at University
of California at Santa Barbara who has
analyzed seismic risks associated with
oil production and who conducted a
study for the Environmental Protection
Agency on the risks of oil field waste
injection wells; Dave Quast, the local
director for Energy In Depth, an
industry advocacy group for independent oil producers; Henry Stern,
who works as a legislative aide to Sen.
Fran Pavley and helped formulate new
regulations regarding well stimulation
processes like fracking; and Brian
Segee, an environmental attorney who
works for the Environmental Defense
Center.

completion (to complete the well)
process that involves water, sand and

Monday, Matilija Junior High School students got an up-close-and-personal chance to learn about Veterans Day and what
it truly means. Local Navy veteran, 96-year-old Hal Wilder Jr., spoke about his experiences during World War II and
answered questions submitted by students. Matilija's music groups also performed the national anthem, the “Armed
Forces Medley” and “America the Beautiful,” and leadership students offered readings. Above, Matilija principal Bill Rosen

OBGMA says it’s ready for state’s new water rules
Tiobe Barron
Despite California’s “exceptional”
drought — and the legislation recently
drafted in response — the Ojai Basin
Groundwater Management Agency
(OBGMA) maintains it is in good shape,
and better positioned to become a
groundwater sustainability agency
than the other water management
organizations in the valley.
California Gov. Jerry Brown signed
three bills into law Sept. 16 to form the
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. These bills ostensibly seek to
prepare local water agencies to more
efficiently handle groundwater, stating,
“all groundwater basins and sub-basins
shall be managed sustainably by local
entities pursuant to an adopted
sustainable groundwater management
plan.” As stated in one of the three bills,
“California is the only state without a
mandatory statewide system of
groundwater management.”
“A central feature of these bills is the
recognition that groundwater management in California is best accomplished
locally,” said Gov. Brown in his signing
message. “Local agencies will now have
the power to assess the conditions of
their local water basins and take necessary steps to bring those basins in a
state chronic long-term overdraft into
balance.”
Here is where Ojai Valley is actually
ahead of the game: the area already has
a local groundwater management
agency in OBGMA.
In response to an earlier drought, and
concerns about possibly over-taxing
the groundwater basin, Ojai City
Council created OBGMA with the 1991
Ojai Basin Groundwater Management
Agency Act. According to the OBGMA
website, it is OBGMA’s mission “to
preserve the quantity and quality of
groundwater in the Ojai Basin in order
to protect and maintain the long-term
water supply for the common benefit of
the water users in the Basin,” and
“although there have been some good
water years and the Ojai Basin has
“About 105,000 squarefeet of water per day is
leaving the basin in the
driest period of time.”
— Jordan Kear, hydrogeologist,
on Ojai’s groundwater basin
continued to provide sufficient water
for its well owners, competition for
scarce water resources in Southern
California and Ventura County is ever
expanding, water resource planning is
intensifying, and the importance of the
OBGMA mission is even greater today.”
While OBGMA has been assessing
the Ojai groundwater basin since 1992,
in order to become the local groundwater sustainability agency per the new
California law, the agency must file its
intent with the state. It must also

Maria Saint
As director of outreach for
Oak Grove School in Ojai,
when Andy Gilman needs to
update the school's website, he
doesn't have to scramble for
ideas on what to post.
“I just step out and look into
a classroom and I can't believe
what these kids are doing right
now. It's so incredible,” he said.
“It's been a lot of fun to work
on video, take pictures and to
write articles of what's
happening at school.”
A writer and designer who
has been with the school since
2010, Gilman also teaches one
of its design classes in high
school. There are 10 students
in his class.
“The class size is small, so
that provides a lot of individual
attention,” he said of the
school, which has 227 students
from preschool through 12th
grade. “The campus is really
beautiful and expansive, and
it's really a place for students to
truly flower there, to grow up.”
Gilman's son Noah, 17, is a
senior at Oak Grove. He also
has two daughters, Sinead, 19,
and Nici, 26. He's always been
a part of his own kids' education, Gilman said, so it felt
natural to be a part of the Oak
Grove students' lives, too.
“Knowing all the kids and
their class, and knowing them
well — knowing their aspirations and, you know, their
challenges, too, and things like
that, it feels like being a part of
a community like that is something I'm always going to want
to do,” he said.
Education in general seems
to be something Gilman will
always want to be involved in,
including through The Agora
Foundation. It came about in
1998 when he and others
wanted to continue something
similar to The Great Books
program, which Gilman experienced at his graduate school
(St. John's College in Santa Fe,
N.M.). The Agora seminars are
made up of 10 to 20 students
with a tutor. “The tutor is
guiding the discussion, but the

teacher in the room is the
author of the work — so the
tutor is not the teacher, the
tutor is more like the facilitator.
The tutor will ask questions
just to try to get the participants in there digging in to try
to understand the text,”
Gilman explained.
By 2006, the group became
incorporated after teachers
expressed interest in using the
format for their own classes.
“That's when we started
getting grants from places like
The Ahmanson Foundation
and Southern California
Edison to pay for us to go to
schools, teach teachers how to
do this method and do it with
them so that they could see
what it's like,” he said. The
foundation has set its next
seminar for Nov. 22 and will
focus on the short stories of
Willa Cather.
Along those same educational lines, Gilman has also
been involved with the Ojai
Chautauqua events — a panel
that discusses all sides to a
specific topic with the commu-

nity. Past topics have included
GMOs, water and, most
recently, fracking. Gilman said
that the Chautauqua organizers don't aim to change
people's positions; instead, the
intention is to have a civil
dialogue. “We are on the road
to establishing an Ojai tradition! We plan to have at least
six Chautauqua events in
2015,” Gilman e-mailed after
Sunday's fracking talk. “The
panel was balanced and
thoughtful.”
When he's not spending
time on education, Gilman is a
musician and an artist.
“I've been a musician for a
long time. I started playing in
lots of bands, and I'm really
interested in world music —
music from other countries
and those rhythms — so I've
done that in bands. But then I
can play bass in a rock band,
too, that's a lot of fun,” he said,
adding that one of the main
instruments he plays is the
octave mandolin. Currently,
he's working on getting better
at playing the cello and wants
to devote two years at it.
“I was in this Weezer-cover
band when I was playing bass,
so we had this band for like
three years I guess, but all of us
had to disband because of life,
work … I want to get really
good at the cello and find some
guys who want to do maybe
kind of a folk/world music
fusion type thing where we can
write our own songs, so I'm
just working at practicing at
this point,” he explained.
Gilman, who earned his
undergraduate degree in art at
California Institute for the Arts,
is also working on pieces that
are similar to pointillism. He
would like to eventually exhibit
the series.
The Ojai resident also hikes,
especially though Los Padres
National Forest. Travel is
something he enjoys as well,
especially with his kids. About
two years ago, he took them all
to Paris, London and Dublin.
Last summer, he and the girls
went to Greece and Italy for

Obituary
Hallie May
Patterson
Today we mourn the
passing of Hallie May
Patterson whose life was
taken from all on Oct. 25,
2014 at 12:32 p.m. Hallie was
born on June 8, 1931 in
Northern California and was
raised in Mesa, Arizona.
To those who loved her and to whom she loved
with no reservations, she shared herself and love
with anyone willing to accept it. She was
affectionately and respectfully known to all as
Grandma Hallie and she lived her life believing we
were all God’s children and as so, accepted God’s
calling to share that one thing we all could define
as God, love.
In the years Hallie lived she shared in the things
life gives, being a daughter, a wife, a mother, a
grandmother and a great-grandmother. And as
life shares all of the wonderful things Grandma
Hallie had the joy in receiving, it also shared its
troubles in disappointment, her life was not
exempt from struggles or heartaches, in her last
few months on earth Hallie was diagnosed with a
rare bone cancer which she was unable to fight.
Grandma Hallie touched many lives in many
different ways and always with just what they
needed, love and understanding. God needed
another angel, and so who better to call. She will
be missed and loved by all who knew her.
Hallie is survived by her family, Gene and Linda
Brassfield, Ed and Sharlynn Patterson, Allen
Patterson, Ginger Patterson, Junellen Patterson,
Judy Dixon, Dwight Patterson, Charlene Bustillos,
and her countless grandchildren and many greatgrandchildren.
Please join us in celebrating her life on Nov. 15
from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Ojai Valley Moose Lodge.
All who knew Hallie are welcome to attend.

Continued from Page A1
chemicals being injected underground at
high pressure with the intention of fracturing the rock formations in order to better extract the oil and natural gas which
are trapped in the rock. In California,
Segee pointed out that fracking is aimed
at releasing oil, not gas, as in other parts
of the nation.
“So the discussion regarding using natural gas as a bridge fuel is a debate we
don’t have here,” said Segee. He also
brought up the issue of antiquated conditional use permits (C.U.P.) in Ventura
County. There are permits, which were
written in the 1940s that allow drilling to
occur in the county under very limited review. “These permits represent 90 percent
of the oil drilling in the county, which
happens without any discretionary review, no public notification, no transparency. The public doesn’t know
beforehand where this is happening.” He
pointed out this causes a gap in information. “We can see an uptick (in activity
and production) but to what extent that
is being driven by acidization and fracking, we just don’t know yet.”
One focus of the talk was induced seismicity. Clark and Nicholson pointed to
new research, which shows a “temporal
correlation” between the injection of
waste products from oil production and
seismic events (earthquakes).
“The main difference between California and places like Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Texas is that California has a lot of active faults already,” said Nicholson. "Every
time you hydro-frack, you are artificially
creating an earthquake. They are almost
uniformly very small. In some instances
they can reach a magnitude of three to
four, but in most cases you won’t even
know they are there.”
Nicholson pointed out that because of
California's many faults, the rocks are already fractured quite a bit — actually reducing the need to use processes like
fracking, which break the rock get the oil
out. “Because of the natural fractures that
already occur in California, fracking has
never been a major component of producing oil and gas in California.” But it
has increased over the past 10 to 15 years,
Nicholson said. “California geology is way
more complicated than other parts of the
country where fracking is used. California
always has more problems.”
But even with that potential increase of
stress on rocks which are already fractured by active faults, Nicholson showed
data which reveals California has not seen
the uptick in seismic activity other parts
of the nation have experienced. But he
did point to waste injection wells as a
place to look for an effect on seismic activity in the state.
“When it comes to induced seismicity,
what we really need to be talking about in
this context is waste disposal, because the
volumes of fluid involved in waste disposal are, on orders of magnitude, higher
than a single fracking operation,” said
Nicholson. “In California, as the number
of fracking operations has increased and
the number of waste disposal wells associated with fracking have increased, we
have not seen a dramatic increase in
earthquake activity in California,” he said.
However, he did add that in other areas,
there is a correlation between induced
seismic events and increased pressure
from the injected waste.
“If there is a preexisting fault and that
fault is already under a high level of stress,
by injecting fluid in the ground you actually reduce the strength of the fault itself,”
said Nicholson. He explained the two
ways a man-made, or induced earthquake, can occur. “You can either raise
the level of stress to the failure criteria of
the rock, or you can lower the strength of
the rock. The major cause of triggering or
inducing earthquakes is associated with
fluid injection.” He explained injection
causes an increase in the “pore fluid pressure at the base of the well and that increased pore fluid pressure can migrate
over to an existing fault — already under
a level of stress — and the rock will then
fail.”
He pointed to a slide of a table showing
new data, with lines creeping up as they
move to the right up the table. “The induced maximum earthquake that you
can likely produce as a result of fluid injection is proportional to the volume of
fluids that you injected,” said Nicholson.
Basically, small amounts of fluid injected
can create small seismic events, and
larger amount of fluid injected can create
larger seismic events.
The earthquakes that register a magnitude four are shown to have occurred
during the same time that high volumes
of waste were being injected into a nearby
well.
Nicholson did point out that, for data
they have collected in Kern County, the
occurrence of seismic activity actually
“fell off” as injection activity increased in
recent years. The verdict is still out on
why, exactly, that is.
Then there's the issue of brine water.
Brine water, or produced water, is generated with oil and gas production. For
every gallon of oil generated, about 15
gallons of produced water is also recovered. “92 percent of the fluid that comes
out is water. Only 8 percent is oil,” said
Clark.
This water is salty — hence "brine" —
and can contain naturally occurring radioactive compounds trapped underground for millennia, as well as any
chemicals and other fluids put down the
production well. Some companies are
finding ways to reuse this water in their
production activities, though some of the
smaller operators simply dispose of it at a
commercial Class II facility. There are two
of these facilities in Ventura County: Anterra Energy in Oxnard, and Southern
California Waste Water (previously Santa
Clara Waste Water), in Santa Paula.
“Brine disposal in California has doubled in the last 10 years,” said Stoltz. It
used to be about 400 million gallons per
year, now it is at about 800 million gallons.
“That is a lot more waste water and
drilling mud to get rid of.”
A video of the panel will be available at
www.OjaiChautaqua.com next week.

When it comes to the
current status of the Ojai

remains optimistic, in
spite of dry conditions.
During the Oct. 30
OBGMA meeting, Kear
went over well data collected from around the
groundwater basin, detailing various water
table elevations for these
wells.
“We have a pretty good
idea of where water is
flowing,” said Kear. “A
certain percentage is
leaving the basin; it is still
flowing, even in the driest of conditions …
About 105,000 squarefeet of water per day is
leaving the basin in the
driest period of time.”

ASTROLOGY
RISA D’ANGELES
Everything is changing — and it needs to
The week is filled with
heavenly squares, triangles, rectangles, lines and
conjunctions as the planets accelerate their interactions with each other.
We are preparing for December's Uranus (in
Aries) square Pluto (in
Capricorn) — a persistent
square causing uncompromising change in humanity.
Aries
and
Capricorn are cardinal
signs. Cardinal signs initiate new realities, squares
challenge and lead us
onto new pathways. They
awaken in us new ideas,
archetypes, rhythms and
new ways of being.
As Saturn (dweller on
the threshold) disciplines
us to face truths and then
relinquish the past,
Uranus (the new order)
presents us with breakdowns and Pluto transforms
everything,
everywhere relentlessly.
Aries rules all things new.
Capricorn rules governments, leaders and the
entire structure of our civilization.

prosperity but it's as fleeting as a tumbleweed. You
find yourself flirting at
times, bringing loved
ones closer, then walking
away at a moment's notice. Constancy you will
learn someday — when
another walks away.
CANCER: Do you have
a sense that others care
for you, tending and nurturing when you're in
need? Nurture all associations and interactions in
your life so you feel the
real possibility of care
from others. Do you
sometimes feel separated
from loved ones? It's hard
to share and be close from
afar. However whatever
interactions you have
with them are deep and

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.

Azu premieres Ojai’s newest wine, Alisal
Azu Restaurant &
Tapas Bar is now exclusively offering Ojai Alisal, a new wine grown
and produced in the Ojai
Valley by Bruce Chernof
and Dan Garcia.
Alisal and Azu are both
labors of Ojai love. Vintner Chernof and Garcia,
both Los Angeles physicians, began their Ojai
journey over a decade
ago in the East End with
a bare patch of land.
They built a home,
planted the vineyard
and spent their weekends planting, weeding,
fertilizing, pruning and
now harvesting their varietals which include
Malbec,
Grenache,
Syrah,
Viognier,
Grenache Blanc and
Mouvedre. Chernof said,
“Through the decade of
building our home, raising our grapes and now
harvesting, Azu has been
our home away from
home. Every Saturday
night, for over a decade,
Daniel and I have spent
dining on the wonderful
food Laurel and Elizabeth provide at Azu. For
us, it was a perfect pair-
ing to have Azu as our
exclusive outlet.”
Elizabeth Haffner, Azu
general manager, said,
“Through the years, Dan
and Bruce attended our
winemakers’
dinners
and saw our passion for
showcasing the craft of
our local artisan winemakers. With grapes
strictly from Bruce and
Dan’s winery in Ojai,
their wines are the true
flavor of our uncommon
terroir. Ojai Alisal is the
best Ojai has to offer and
we are proud to showcase these exemplary

wines with our California tapas menu.”
Vintner Chernof said,
“For us, Azu really captures the spirit that is
Ojai. Azu’s food is the
high quality that you really want, yet it has a
sense of casualness ...
Azu makes such great
use of local produce,
and embodies the notion of California tapas
perfectly, and we think
our wines pair beautifully with both the atmosphere and the food.”
Nearly 14 years ago,
Laurel Moore renovated
Bill Baker's 1910 building and opened the
doors of Azu with a vision to translate the best
cuisine of the Mediterranean into an exclusive,
Ojai-sourced menu. Her
daughter,
Elizabeth,
came on as general
manager in 2006.
Friday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
Ojai Alisal will be featured in the Tasting
Room at Azu Bar. Enjoy

Nordhoff defeats rival Bishop Diego to claim league title
Mike Miller
Nordhoff senior Baylee
Rogers should not expect
to receive holiday cards
from the Bishop Diego
faithful this winter.
Rogers has been a thorn
in Bishop Diego’s side
and has single-handedly
snatched victory from
the Cardinals in recent
years and then Friday
night he scored three
first-half touchdowns to
give NHS a 35-14 victory.
With the win, the
Rangers clinched the TriValley League championship and spoiled
Bishop Diego’s undefeated season.
Nordhoff got a break
early in the first quarter
when a shanked punt
deep in Bishop Diego territory gave NHSthe ball
at the 6-yard line. Rogers
would follow his offensive line into the end
zone from 3 yards out to
give the Rangers the early
7-0 advantage.
After forcing Bishop
Diego into a three-andsituation,
the
out
Rangers got right back to
work. Senior quarterback
Austin Santino found
wide out Nick Sterling
who made a nifty open
field move and raced 25
yards to get NHS into
scoring position. Again it
was Rogers who would
power his way into the
end zone on a short
touchdown run. Cooper
Garcia’s extra point
made the score 14-0.
Bishop Diego then got
a break after a questionable celebration penalty
on the Rangers kept their
drive alive. Eventually,
the Cardinals would
score when quarterback
Spencer Stovesand connected with Alvoid Ben-
nett on a 9-yard scoring
play to make the score
14-7 in favor of NHS.
Later in the second
quarter, Bishop Diego
was picking up momentum but then the Rangers
would turn the tides
when linebacker Jevon
Morrison intercepted a
Stovesand pass and returned it into Bishop
Diego territory.
Rogers would then
score his third touchdown of the night, this
time from 4 yards away
to make the score 21-7.
On the very next play,
Bennett took the kickoff
at the goal line and outran the NHS defenders
99 yards for a muchneeded touchdown. The
two teams would go to
the locker room with
NHS hanging onto a slim
21-14 lead.
Strong defense and a
power running attack
would carry NHS in the
second half as they
began to pull away from
the Cardinals. “You can
do a lot with that combination. If you play good
defense and can run the
football, good things
happen,” said NHS head
coach Erik Monson.
In the third quarter,
Regin Wilson intercepted
another Stovesand pass,
which would lead to
Nordhoff’s next score.
This time
it was Santino who
w o u l d
score on a
fourthand-goal
play. The senior signal
caller tucked behind his
line and found the end
zone to make the score
28-14.
In the final quarter of
play, the Rangers started
to wear down the Cardi-

nals and it showed when
senior Shane Hersh
bowled his way to a 22yard touchdown, capping the scoring on the
night at 35-14.
“Give them credit, they
said, “I always get up for
Bishop Diego week. I try
to focus on all of the little
things to make sure I am
ready to go. It is easy to
get up for this game because of the rivalry.”
things around, Monson
said, “It is not how you
start, but how you finish.
Our kids and coaches
continued to work hard
and believe. I really felt
like we’d find our step
and grow as a
team and we
did. I’m happy
for these kids.”
Hersh finished the game
with 73 yards
on 11 carries and he led
the team with 12 tackles
while senior Atticus
Reyes was in on nine
tackles. The story of the
game was the play on
Nordhoff’s offensive and
defensive lines. NHS was

are good football team
and I think they will
make some noise in the
playoffs,” said Monson
after the game.
Rogers, who finished
with 113 yards rushing
and three touchdowns
There were times this
season that Nordhoff
looked as though they
might not win another
game, but then they captured the league title.
When asked how the
team managed to turn
able to control the line of
scrimmage and limited
Bishop Diego’s potent
running attack to just 102
yards.
As Tri-Valley League
champions,
Nordhoff
earned the right to host a
first-round playoff game
and they received a
tough draw to open the
postseason. NHS will
host a very talented Arroyo Grande (8-2) team
in the first round. The
winner of that game will
take on the winner of the
Lompoc against Camarillo contest.
See Friday’s Ojai Valley
News for more information on Arroyo Grande.
Ojai Valley School runners capture Condor League title
Cole Zellner
Ojai Valley News contributor
After a long season of
practice and persistence, the Ojai Valley
School girls’ cross-country team secured the
Condor League championship last Wednesday
with a strong showing at
the league final.
The Spuds were bolstered by a first-place
finish in the league final
by senior Momoe Takamatsu, who outpaced all
runners to earn the individual Condor League
title in the three-mile
race at Dunn School.
Takamatsu ran the

OVS senior Momoe Takamatsu (right) and sophomore
Gilim Bae finished first and third at the Condor League
final cross-country meet. Their finishes helped secure
the team Condor League cross country title for OVS.
fastest race of her life to
win the Condor League
crown, finishing in a
blistering 21:11. Her
nearest competitor was
nearly 40 seconds behind.
“I was relieved for
sure,” said Takamatsu,
who was very emotional
after the race. “I didn’t
believe at first that I had
won, but I worked so
hard for this.”
In addition to Takamatsu’s fast finish, two
other OVS runners,
sophomore Gilim Bae
and senior Vivian Yan,
earned medals for their
top 10 finishes. Bae finished in third place with
a time of 22:43, and Yan
came in sixth with a time
of 23:27.
The OVS girls’ came
within seconds of winning the league final.
They ended up tied with
Dunn School for first
place in that race, but
Dunn was credited with
the win due to crosscountry’s tiebreaking
system.
However, the league
champion is determined
by a point system that
tallies team finishes for
all
league
meets
throughout the season.
Based on the girls’ performance this season —
the OVS team won two
of the three Condor
League meets — they
earned enough points to
earn the Condor League
title.
E-mail your local sports stories, photos and requests
for coverage to sports editor Mike Miller:
For OVS cross-country
coach Fred Alvarez, that
title wasn’t as important
as watching the girls
learn to work as a team
throughout the season,
and run their best by
season’s end.
“I could not be more
proud of the way these
girls came together this
year,” Alvarez said.
“They ran in 100-plus
degree heat, and they
ran when they were sore
and they ran in the early
morning darkness. They
committed themselves
to improving each and
every day. I couldn’t ask
for anything more.”
It is the second time in
four years that an OVS
runner has won the individual Condor League
cross-country title.
In 2011, OVS senior
Reika Kijima won the
cross-country championship. She is now running cross-country and
track for the University
of Southern California.
This
cross-country
season was the first
under a league realign-
ment that saw longtime
Condor League members Cate and Thacher
move to the Tri-County
Athletic Associatio. Alvarez said the realignment has improved the
competitive spirit of the
league, bringing more
parity to sporting competitions. “We are all
now competing on a
much more level playing
field,” he said. “This is
really in keeping with
the spirit of the Condor
League, and what this
league is all about.”

Photo club talk to focus on elephant seals
Photographer
Susannah Sofaer
Kramer returns to the
Ojai Photography Club
as its November
presenter and guest
judge. The presentation
will begin at 7 p.m.,
Tuesday, at Help of
Ojai’s Kent Hall, 111
Santa Ana St. in Ojai
Kramer’s presentation will include digital
slide show presentations on the Piedras
Blancas Elephant Seal
Rookery and information and tips for both
visitors and photographers on this seal sanctuary north of San
Simeon.
Sofaer is an awardwinning fine art landscape, nature and
portrait photographer.
She was born in the
proverbial trunk of an
English theatrical
family. Her father,
Abraham Sofaer, was a
well-known classical
actor and her mother
was a dancer in
London’s West End
Theater.
She gave up her
career to raise a family,
but always needed a
creative outlet. As her
children grew her childPhoto by Susannah Sofaer Kramer hood dream of owning

reality and she became
a competitive dressage
rider and started photographing friends and
their mounts at horse
shows.
The magic of seeing a
print develop in the
darkroom caught her
imagination and
inspired Sofaer to learn
and to further explore
what she could do with
a camera. Her passion
for photography
expanded to encompass portraits, both
people and animals and
later to landscape and
nature photography.
Visit her website at
http://www .sofaerphotography.com to see
more of her work.
Monthly presentations are part of the
Ojai Photography
Club’s community
service and education
outreach. Visitors are
welcome to attend.
The club, which is
devoted to education,
inspiration, and camaraderie, meets on the
third Tuesday of each
month, Februarys

Masha Keating, Ashley

and others in a rotating

A public reception
with the artists is

Art Take Out

of making art accessible and portable;
literally being able to
buy the art off the
gallery walls in a
rotating exhibit (unlike
most gallery exhibitions
where the art stays in
place until the show
closes). Holidaze Group
Show: Art Take Out
spans the holiday

art and its availability
as a perfect gift.

progressive contemporary art to the Ojai art
scene. With an
emphasis on outsider
art by emerging and
mid-career artists,
Gallery director Jolene
Lloyd considers the
gallery a small piece of
the vibrant Chelsea, NY

Ojai Theatre presents “She Loves Me"
Just when the thought of
being able to put the classic
“male chauvinist pig” to rest,
he’s back and is embodied by
actor Phil Nemy in the
upcoming production “She
Loves Me.” Nemy plays
Steven Kodaly as outrageous,
selfish and oblivious of
anyone but himself. And
Nemy is having a great time
playing the part.
“Playing Kodaly is such
mischievous fun! I get to play
a man who is incredibly arrogant, self-centered, mischievous, lacks a certain level or
morals, and yet is audaciously seductive, charming,
and attentive to women all
while being a male chauvinist pig,” Nemy explained.
“And for the most part, he
gets away with it! All of the
things that I, as a man, and
most men today for that
matter, would never get away
with. My wife can attest to
that!”
But how does Ilona —
played by Julia Denney
Hamann — the occasional
object of Kodaly’s desire, feel
about this awful character?
“Awful character??! Phil
Nemy’s Kodaly is charming,
handsome, sexy, exciting and
successful. What more could
a woman hope for? Hamann
asked. “Well, for Ilona, it
turns out, a lot more and she
is bound and determined to
find it. She’s resilient and the
eternal optimist. That’s why I
love playing her so much! As
for the male chauvinist, I
would argue that he never
left the building. He is alive
and well and, possibly,
waiting in an on-line dating
service near you!”
Tickets for “She Loves Me”
are available at www.ojaitheater.org or by calling
649-1937.
