Q&A

Advertorial

A: With everything going on in the world right now, many people are battling forms of depression and anxiety in their life. Physical health/wellness is one area we CAN control in our lives right now to be the healthiest and best versions of ourselves. I believe physical fitness is the first requisite toward happiness.

ing members’ heart rates in real time so that they can ensure they are in the proper heart rate zone to achieve their best results. While members can pair their OTBeat heart rate monitor with their phone or even their Apple watch, we also use RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) to coach members into their proper zone. For instance, if we are in a workout and targeting the “Orange Heart Rate Zone” you might here the coach say something along the lines of “Push pace intensity for 60 seconds. Get past a conversational effort. 3-5 words should be a breathy sentence. Overall your effort should be a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10.” Additionally, we have taken thorough measures to create a very strong outdoor space and overall experience that focuses on maximizing the value our members are getting out of their monthly membership dues. We don’t believe in compromising our overall product just because our space has changed . . . It’s safe to say that Orangetheory’s science – and the results – are in the workout design itself, and not just the fancy screens.

Q: “Workouts from home” are more popular now than ever. What do you suggest to someone working out from home?

Q: Why is Orangetheory Fitness more effective than other gyms/ workouts?

Obviously as a locally owned and operated (Ventura County) business we would love for everyone to come train with us. Nonetheless, it is great to see anyone making their fitness and health a priority, especially right now, even if it means working out from home. I just encourage everyone to look beyond one-dimensional training approaches like only weight training or mild cardiovascular activity. Do your research. Make sure your workouts are intelligent, balanced and effective. My father has a saying, “Don’t confuse effort with results,” and I think that really applies here. People will only get results to the extent that they have a smart plan and that they execute that plan well.

As a fitness company that is science-backed and technology-tracked we have had to make some pivots. Part of our core experience is tracking and display-

Orangetheory is so successful with getting and keeping members because we focus on RESULTS more than anything else, and it shows by how well we engage and keep our members coming back. I believe the amount of care we show toward our members and their results is what creates our amazing fitness community . . . Our focus at Orangetheory Fitness is on getting members the RESULTS they want, and we believe so strongly in our product that we offer month-to-month memberships so that we constantly earn their business rather than simply holding them to a contract. Our company mission and vision say it best: Our Mission: “Our heart beat is to deliver proven fitness results for a healthier world.” Our Vision: “To be the trusted global leader of innovative heart ratebased interval training. Our core values are Integrity, Passion, Accountability, Innovation and Community.”

he Ventura County Reporter’s annual photo contest is back! And like every year, we’re excited to see what you, our readers, have to share with us. Everything changed on March 19, 2020, when California shut down as a result of the coronavirus. And so, it seems fitting that this year’s theme will focus on images that somehow encapsulate life during lockdown. Vibing at home, Zooming with loved ones, masking up, isolation, confusion, maybe even finding joy and connection during quarantine… whatever the pandemic meant for you, we want to see it. Send us your best photos from March 2020 through February 2021 for a chance to have your images published in the VCReporter and snag some serious bragging rights. Every year, we get numerous sunset photos, so

here’s yet another reminder that we’d love to see something different. Winning entries — including honorable mentions and staff favorites — will be published in the March 18, 2021 issue of the VCReporter, in commemoration of the oneyear anniversary of the initial stay-at-home order.

Email entries to: nshaffer@timespublications.com Each entry/email submission must include the photographer’s name, address and phone number. Please include a brief note describing your experience. Photograph must have been created on or after March 1, 2020, and should not been submitted to a previous VCReporter photo contest.

NEWS NEWS Gap in vaccination policy Private in-home caregivers unable to get vaccine by Kimberly Rivers

kimberly@vcreporter.com

oday home healthcare and in-home support service providers are listed as eligible by the state to get vaccinated in the phase currently being administered in Ventura County. Due to verification requirements and lack of clarity, however, local officials screening people with appointments may be turning away people who are at risk of exposure. The state’s website describes who is eligible during Phase 1A and states that under Tier 2, recommendation B, individuals providing “home health care and in-home supportive services” can get vaccinated. But at least two privately employed in-home healthcare providers have been turned away when they showed up for their vaccine appointments in Ventura County. On Friday, Feb. 5, Joan Dockery of Ojai went to her vaccine appointment at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. She provides private in-home healthcare and support services and registered through the county’s vaccine registration portal online. “I got to one manager and was turned away,” said Dockery, adding, “Fortunately both my elderly clients have gotten theirs.” But she pointed out another caregiver “who does the same thing I do was also turned away. So frustrating.” She is 65 and doesn’t yet qualify due to her age, but she has been providing in-home healthcare and support services for over 40 years. Today she is taking care of two people, one with Alzheimer’s and another with dementia, and works seven days a week. “I come from a large family, with 15 kids. My mother was a nurse, it’s just something that came kind of naturally.” She started in this line of work in 1977, and has taken care of clients of all ages. Her two current clients “both love to converse. I help with personal care, cooking, cleaning — they’re called the activities of daily living.” She maintains CPR and First Aid certification and years ago was a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and received a Home

Health Accreditation. She does basic nursing, checking blood pressure and testing the blood of diabetics. “There is a whole range of things that we do, whatever is needed to help with their care.” Since the beginning of the pandemic she has worn a mask the whole time she is with a client and has been “very careful, social distancing, all of the things we are supposed to do. But they don’t wear a mask, it is too difficult for them.” Dockery, like many in the field, does not work through an agency but is hired directly and privately by the family of the person she cares for. Dockery could work through an agency, but she quickly learned that she could earn more when hired privately. She did work for a few years with Livingston Memorial, a Ventura County-based skilled nursing agency in the 1980s. “I enjoyed it, but knew I could make more money out on my own . . . since then I’ve been on private duty.” She said once she got established it’s been mostly word of mouth and recommendations to get her subsequent jobs. “That’s how I get my jobs. It runs hot and cold. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed, working every day. Then I’ll go through a cold spot, not working for a couple of weeks or a month.” There are no registration or certification requirements for private duty home healthcare providers. This means the number of workers like Dockery are hard to track. As the state prioritizes those most at risk of exposure to the coronavirus for vaccination, privately employed in-home healthcare providers are being left out. To qualify for the vaccine, the state requires a formal paystub, a

badge and a letter from an employer on letterhead — items Dockery and many other private caregivers are unable to provide. “They want you to have a letter on letterhead from an employer, which means a facility or an agency,” she explained. “[My roommate] works for an agency. She can go get [a vaccine] whenever she wants.” Dockery knew she might be turned away. In her efforts to get vaccinated, the families she works for prepared a letter for her to show screeners, stating that she provided in-home healthcare. “I have got a letter from one employer, the second one just sent me one.” She also took a photo of herself with one of her clients, holding up the client’s ID showing their age. “I don’t know how else I can do it. I wish they would open it up to private duty.” But she guesses that if the state and county did that, “anybody could come in and say” they took care of people at home. “It’s a catch-22.” As of press deadline the California Department of Public Health did not respond to numerous requests for information about whether privately employed in-home healthcare providers should be able to be vaccinated now.

Eye on the Environment

Leave on the lid or pop and toss the top? by David Goldstein

t’s a small matter, but a detail dedicated recyclers want to get right. Should you remove the cap of a plastic bottle before recycling it? How about the lid of a metal container? How about the lid of an aseptic package or drink box? Bill Wayson, a retired computer systems analyst living in Ventura, is one of the many local dedicated recyclers following the news and wanting to be sure about the rules for correct recycling so our recyclables will be as marketable as possible. By email, he asked me about the recycling rules regarding lids for a variety of containers. To be sure of the latest rules, I contacted Daniel Marks, CEO of Berg Mill Supply Company, a company marketing much of the material collected from curbside and commercial programs in Ventura County. The answer for plastic bottles is the same as it has been for nearly a decade. Marks explained, “Soda bottle lids are made from a different plastic than soda bottles, but grinding is one of the first steps at the plastic recycling factory. A simple sink/float tank separates the two types of plastic.” The polypropylene from lids floats, and the polyethylene terephthalate from the body of the bottle sinks. With milk jugs, the lid and the container are similar types of plastic, so they can be processed together. Other containers may be made from different types of plastics, and in some cases, lids can be hard to separate, but recycling plastics other than bottles labeled 6— — February 11, 2021

0211_VCReporter_NEWS.indd 6

#1 or #2 is difficult for many reasons in the current market. For steel containers such as shaving cream the answer is different. Metal is not run through grinders prior to recycling; instead, it is crushed. Recycling is accomplished through melting the metal into a molten mass so it can be poured into new forms. Leaving the lid on in this case will result in the plastic being burned. When temperatures are high enough, pollution from burning can be minimized, but the purpose of recycling is the reduction of pollution in manufacturing processes, so leave the lids off steel containers. Also, empty aerosol cans before recycling. For the above two types of recycling, much of the recycling is done in the United States. Plastic from bottles, for example, is recycled at Pinnpack in Oxnard and Poly-Tainer in Simi Valley. Similarly, domestic manufacturers made 82 million metric tons of steel in 2017, “enough to form a continuous steel beam that could circle the globe eight times” and “68 percent of that steel was made from scrap metal,” according to TheConversation.com, quoting 2018 statistics from the U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries. In contrast, recycling of drink boxes and aseptic packages is accomplished through export. Separation of layers of plastic, metal and paper requires labor and water resources more available outside the United States. Ventura County sends these materials to India for recycling. This makes the lid question

more difficult to answer. At first, Marks speculated the answer might be “no,” since he knew the lids would have no value but would require labor to separate. But then he checked with the buyer, who assured him the recyclers in India, out of concern for the environment, do separate and transport the plastic lids to recyclers. Andrea Gomez, who lives in Ventura and is working on fulfilling her New Year’s resolution to be more “planet friendly” by recycling correctly, sent me an email asking if drink boxes and aseptic packages are even recycled. The answer is, with or without lids, these items are recycled only in areas of Ventura County collected by Harrison Industries or Athens Services. In other areas, lack of specialized separation equipment, the timing of commodity contracts, or other factors make both the lid and the container itself unrecyclable. Bottom line on including lids: • Plastic Bottles — yes • Steel Containers — no • Aseptic packages and drink boxes — yes, if the containers are recycled in your area.

“Very dynamic times” CMH chief with COVID treated at home by Kimberly Rivers kimberly@vcreporter.com

n Jan. 14, 2021, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) stepped back from its statement last year that Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug approved for that use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is not effective in treating COVID-19. The new statement said more data was needed to make that determination. The NIH went on to state, “In general, the drug is well tolerated. It is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment for COVID-19.” An active clinical trial involving Ivermectin at Ventura Clinical Trials, overseen by Dr. Sabine Hazan, is one of those evaluations. While studies continue, some doctors are using ivermectin with other medicines for the off-label use of treating COVID early outside of a hospital — and are reporting success. But due to the lack of accepted standard of care for early treatment, many doctors don’t treat COVID-19 before it escalates, meaning many patients may find access to a potentially effective treatment blocked. Most people who test positive for COVID-19 are not given any early treatment recommendations; many who get sick will receive no treatment until they are admitted to the hospital.

Lack of early treatment

An ever-growing contingent of doctors and medical researchers have been demanding that government officials raise a level of effort for early treatment approval to that seen for vaccine development, with the aim of developing a standard approach for early in-home treatment for those who test positive. But their calls have so far mostly fallen on deaf ears. As a result, some physicians have chosen to forge ahead independently. Hazan is one of a growing group of doctors across the country who are treating patients with success and speaking out. She has so far treated hundreds of patients from across the U.S. who tested positive for COVID-19 and were too sick to meet the inclusion protocol of her active clinical trials or because the patients themselves wanted to receive the medicine. The clinical trials are double blind randomized - meaning participants may receive the medicines, or be given a placebo and no one will know until the trial concludes. The Ventura County Reporter previously reported on Hazan’s work and her active FDA-authorized clinical trials for testing the efficacy of treatments and preventative measures for COVID-19 (“Trying to save humanity: Dr. Sabine Hazan and Progenobiome are working tirelessly to combat COVID19,” Kimberly Rivers, March 26, 2020). Early results in one of those ongoing trials took nearly six months to be peer reviewed and published (1). Hazan says the seriousness of this virus amplifies the importance of funding clinical trials and that local doctors should be supporting clinical trials in their region by informing and referring their patients.

CMH chief treated at home

Dr. Stanley Frochtzwajg, who is over 65, is the chief medical officer with Community Memorial Health System that operates Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura, Ojai Valley Hospital and numerous clinics across the county. He has been practicing medicine in Ventura County for over 40 years. Last month, when he tested positive for coronavirus after feeling a few mild symptoms, he did what many of the general public would do: He stopped going to work, rested, waited and did some online research. “Physicians are notorious for not taking the best care of 8— — February 11, 2021

themselves,” he said with a small chuckle. But he says he strives to work out, eats an anti-inflammatory diet and “try to do all the right things. Nevertheless, after the first five days [after symptoms started] it felt like I was not getting better and I was concerned.” He recalled a report (2) he read coalescing existing published reports from medical professionals representing 57 facilities in the U.S., Germany, Australia, Canada, Brazil, and India. In the report, the published writings and data of Hazan, Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist and cardiologist in Dallas, and others are cited in support of a treatment protocol that includes an Dr. Stanley Frochtzwajg meets with array of medications that Dr. Sabine Hazan during a recent the authors say is successcheckin while she was treating him fully reducing hospitalizaat home for COVID. Photo submitted. tion and fatality rates of those with COVID-19. Frochtzwajg studied the potential side effects of the medications listed in the protocol, including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. “I knew Dr. Hazan was deeply involved in this. I contacted her and said ‘I probably should have called you a few days ago.’” He said he had “weigh[ed] the risks and benefits of the treatment,” and that he would like to “go ahead” with the treatment “if she was willing to treat” him. Overall he describes a fairly mild case of COVID-19. “Initially I was feeling some symptoms, then I tested positive and from there it was a two-week experience of fatigue, fever, mild cough, and I did lose my taste and my smell for one week,” said Frochtzwajg, speaking with the Ventura County Reporter on Tuesday, Feb. 2. He had tested positive just over two weeks prior. He also had “very little appetite,” during the course of his illness and one aspect of him having COVID that was “reinforced, not that I needed it, is how incredibly precious and valuable my wife is...she was like Florence Nightingale for me.”

He said he now was at about 60% of his normal energy level. While ill he continued to attend hospital meetings virtually and publish his newsletter every Monday. “I was able to keep up on those kinds of things. I just realized my energy levels were unrecognizably very, very low.”

Confusion over study implications

One key aspect of the in-home treatment is a drug that has been used for decades to treat multiple conditions and illnesses, but which is not yet FDA-approved for COVID-19 treatment. Hydroxychloroquine, long used to treat malaria, lupus and arthritis, recently became the center of a political hail storm around the federal government’s pandemic response. In March 2020, when it was initially touted as an effective treatment for COVID-19 — with, at the time, limited evidence on top of a slew of concerning side effects — it was easy to discredit the drug. Many physicians, however, considered this a rush to judgment. McCullough, in collaboration with physicians from Italy, first began work on an early treatment regimen for COVID in July 2020. He and others continue to ask why the U.S. government response to the pandemic fails to address all of the four pillars to combat an infectious pandemic. Those four pillars are: contagion spread, early treatment, late-term treatment and vaccination. (3) Even today, these questions and the call for an early treatment standard of care are being met with claims that it is “misinformation.” On Nov. 19 before the Senate committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, McCullough and two other physicians provided sworn testimony that studies suggesting hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were not effective against COVID failed to meet several basic aspects of what he and others were proposing. In those studies, the drugs were not given within the first 5 days of symptoms, and they were used alone rather than in conjunction with other medications. McCullough and his colleagues emphasized that any effective treatment of viral infections such as COVID required a multifaceted approach. In addition, those initial studies were based in a hospital setting — suggesting that study participants were already far sicker than patients for whom an early in-home protocol would be meant.

Timing, adaptation improve efficacy

The suggested treatment protocol ideally begins when someone first tests positive for COVID-19. Patients are started on a daily “nutraceutical bundle” of zinc sulfate (220 mg), Vitamin D (5000 IU), Vitamin C (3000 mg), and a flavonoid called quercetin (500 mg), found in several fruits and vegetables, which reduces viral replication. (2) All are available over the counter. For those 50 years or older with one or more comorbidities, an intravenous infusion of monoclonal antibodies is suggested. In addition, the patient is immediately started on an array of anti-infective agents, which includes hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, azithromycin, doxycycline, and favipiravir. Some patients are started on a steroid like prednisone, and some are given an anticoagulant. (2) This treatment protocol is a roadmap for a standard of care to begin with, but doctors adapt it to the individual. “I will tell you, it is very critical with illness to not ‘shotgun’ people, but rather to individualize care,” Frochtzwajg emphasized. “The best caregivers and physicians do this routinely anyway with patients. I treat no two people the same because no two people are the same...different needs, genetics, variations in lifestyle, really require individualized care and that is precisely what Dr. Hazan did, she made a few modifications during my treatment regiment.” When asked about the controversy around outpatient treatment protocols that are not FDA-approved, he responded, “We live in a very strange time with COVID and no way in God’s Earth prior to this last year would we ever have allowed a vaccine to be introduced after a few months of research. Vaccines typically take years before they’re released. But with COVID . . . we’ve made all sorts of variances in the way we treat people.” “In fact at the hospital when we treat COVID patients we’ve tried a whole array of treatments, some of which we’ve continued and refined,” Frochtzwajg continued. “But we’ve also abandoned treatments that we henceforth did not feel played out in the way we expected. We are living in very dynamic times that force us to consider treatment regiments that we would have prior never considered without well-controlled double-blind studies. And yet we’re using all kinds of treatments including monoclonal antibodies, which are extremely controversial . . . because the urgency and the severity of the illness requires us to think differently.”

Changing the complexion of the pandemic

McCullough understands the strong pushback against moving forward with treatment protocols using drugs off-label. “I think two tiers of doctors have emerged,” offered McCullough. “One tier is engaging with patients, treating patients in that pre-hospital phase, markedly reducing hospitalization and deaths. The other tier just don’t feel comfortable doing it.” McCullough said hydroxychloroquine is “one of four [drugs] that is never used alone,” in the COVID early at home treatment protocol. “It’s been on the market for 65 years, available over the counter in many countries. The doctors who are familiar with it consider it safe and very effective. Those not familiar [with it] may not be so comfortable.” McCullough and his wife were diagnosed with COVID late last year and were treated with hydroxychloroquine, and azythromycin, an antibiotic that works “inside cells.” “We underwent strict cardiac and pulmonary oxygenation monitoring. Followup swabs indicated we cleared the virus quickly and had the minimum time in quarantine and away from work,” said McCullough. “Because we were treated in the home, we completed Dr. Peter A. McCullough MD, all contact tracing and the MPH, FACC. Photo submitted. viral spread terminated in our 10 — — February 11, 2021

Screen capture of video. house. If this was done with all Americans over age 50 from the beginning, the estimates are that 85% of hospitalizations and deaths would have been avoided and so many families would remain together at this time. The failure to treat COVID-19 early is the greatest American tragedy and public health blunder in history.” According to McCullough, doctors using this protocol and adapting it to their patients are already having a “huge impact on mortality” rates by keeping people out of the hospital. The protocol reduces the infection in the body, allowing a person to recover at home. McCullough said timing is key — the protocol is most effective in the early stages of the disease. One issue complicating treatment is that most people think it’s just a mild cold. “It starts out as the mildest illness,” he explained. “By the time they get sick they are already many days behind. If we treat [COVID when it’s] a mild illness it doesn’t become severe [for most people]. When someone gets a positive COVID test, [they should] get treated right away.” This is particularly important for those over 50, or who have serious existing medical issues. McCullough expressed concern that “the whole medical community is just not responsive to the idea of early treatment.” He said when someone gets a positive test result they should be given an info sheet of what to do, but instead they are basically just told “good luck...Our health care delivery system has a long way to go to be responsive.” If a person’s doctor is not comfortable with the in-home treatment, McCullough recommends that they “ask for a referral to a doctor that would do it. They can engage with doctors [anywhere] over telemedicine.” McCullough also recommended a “layer of early preventive nutraceuticals,” including zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin C and quercetin, taken daily. “None are curative,” he explained. “But it is true that those who are just a little deficient end up with a more severe case. I definitely recommend these daily through the pandemic.” “There are no drugs that cure the illness,” aded McCullough, but having an adopted “sequenced multi-drug approach would change the entire complexion of the pandemic.”

considered infectious starting 10 days after onset of symptoms and at least 24 hours without a fever. Technically I could return already, but I’m trying to be smart about it, and taking time to recuperate.” As for whether he recommends the in-home treatment protocol to his patients, he said, “I offer patients a referral to Dr. Hazan after I’ve had a chance to assess their history and have given them an overview of her treatment approach.” McCullough is well aware of Hazan’s approach, saying “I strongly support it.” He says a national, and indeed global standard of care for early treatment is needed because the “vast majority of deaths occur in the hospital.” With doctors correctly using the early protocols, McCullough said they are finding an “85% reduction in hospitalizations.” (4) Each component of the suggested protocols are “currently available over the counter and have a proven safety track record.” McCullough added that even with vaccines being rolled out, the administration is too slow to save the thousands that will continue to get sick and require hospitalization, without early treatment. “It is our only hope of reducing the risk of hospitalization and death.” Frochtzwajg emphasized that everyone should continue to follow safety precautions. “I will be doing absolutely everything that we should all be doing, wearing my N95 [mask], wearing a face shield when working with patients — and I think that we’re all going to need to do that going forward to deal with this virus and the new higher contagious variant and variants. We’re not out of the woods yet by a long shot.” “But it’s hard to convince people to do some of the basics,” said Frochtzwajg. “I was watching a rally the other day [on television], no one was wearing masks in Montana and I thought, we are not going to be over this for a very, very long time.” In terms of the long road and continuing to be better equipped to combat the virus, Frochtzwajg said, “I think Dr. Hazan has the real answer, which is to fortify our intestinal microbiome so that we are much less susceptible . . . our immune system really originates in our microbiome and she is doing the incredible groundbreaking work that is elucidating that more and more. That is my greatest hope.”

Following Hazan’s protocol, Frochtzwajg says he was treated for 10 days. “I definitely started to show improvements in my fatigue, my fever resolved . . . Taste and smell returned about a week after starting treatment.” “She was unbelievably attentive, concerned and supportive,” he said of Hazan. “It was truly amazing, one of the most compassionate and attentive physicians I have ever dealt with. I can’t speak highly enough of her attentive care or passion . . . I received four or five phone calls a day from her, checking in on me and my status.” In addition, Frochtzwajg was self-monitoring oxygen saturation using an oximeter, and taking his temperature three to four times a day. He did experience “mildly decreased oxygen” and says he was “fortunate” in that his levels never got “concernedly low.” He had brought an oxygen tank home but he never needed to use it. The day he was interviewed he said his oxygen levels were “near normal.” He has started to take walks around the block and hopes he’ll be back seeing patients this week. “Technically a person is no longer

Homespun Hannah Jobus brings Texas roots to California country by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nshaffer@timespublications.com

Allie Hanson’s jewelry and other artisanal gifts will be available during the Second Sunday Art Market at Poppie’s Arts and Gifts on Feb. 14. Photo submitted

hicago-born, Texas-raised Hannah Jobus has a voice that speaks to her journeys across the United States. High and sweet with a touch of twang, it sounds straight out of Tennessee — but with a delicate, haunting quality that echoes out of Lauren Canyon. A singer and songwriter in the country, roots and folk modes, she’s right at home in Ventura County, where her music covers everything from Sulphur Mountain Road and a chance encounter with a coyote to stories of love and heartbreak.

“Ojai has a small community that facilitates new musicians,” she says. “I met a lot of people in the music industry.” One of those people was Matt Sayles, of Ventucky String Band and Philville Records fame. “I met Matt two years ago,” Jobus recalls. “The first time we put music together . . . we kind of jammed. He offered to do a recording for me.” “Mountain Wife” was recorded in real time at Philville Studios West in Ventura. Sayles backs Jobus on rhythm guitar, with Bill Flores (pedal steel), Matt Cadenelli (percussion) and Terry Luna (bass) also lending a hand. It was recently released by Philville Records — although it was one of the first songs Jobus wrote after arriving in Ojai. “I had a dream. I was singing the chorus over and over again,” she recalls. “I woke up early in the morning and thought, ‘I want to write that down.’” She walked down to the Ventura River nearby, and a coyote approached. “I just kept playing, and the coyote came up and laid on the ground,” Jobus recalls. She ended up finishing the entire song that morning.

Hannah Jobus

There and back again

Pre-COVID, Jobus was a regular on the small-venue circuit, performing at places such as MadeWest Brewing and Oak and Main. In 2019, she headed to Nashville, where she hoped to make her mark as a songwriter. “I didn’t book any gigs,” she says. “The goal was to write for a publishing company.” It was a prolific time: She expanded her catalog, and collaborated with several artists. Before anything got picked up, however, the pandemic hit and she decided to move west again. After spending a long spell with her mother in Texas, she came back to the area (she lives in Ventura currently) and decided to “just take a second to wait out this COVID stuff.” In the meantime, she’s making a living at Topa Topa Brewing — which she loves. “It’s so fun, and great for networking!” Jobus says. “Every brewery has a different little vibe. I love Topa Topa because it has this sense of community.” When she’s not filling to-go orders she’s continuing to write— several times a week — and considering her next move.

“Anything can happen”

Something she’s currently contemplating: streaming concerts, possibly in collaboration with Noah Berberea of Brother Earl and the Cousins. Berberea is in the process of creating a virtual concert series called the Dirty Couch, and he’s approached Jobus about working together. “I love the idea of live recording, maybe getting some video footage,” she says. Another plan: getting involved with national songwriting circles. She recently had a Zoom audition for one based in Nashville called Song Suffragettes. The acoustic showcase features five emerging female country artists every week, and it’s been a great way for new talent to get noticed. According to the website (www.songsuffragettes.com), of the 200+ people who have performed, 12 singers have received record deals and more than 40 songwriters have received publishing deals. “Lots of people in the industry go to these songwriter rounds,” Jobus says. “Anything can happen.” The Song Suffragettes might end up bringing Jobus back to Nashville at some point. In the meantime, she’s finding joy in the here and now. “Far off into the future — I just can’t think about that right now,” she says. “I have a great job I love, and I can’t wait to play live again. I’m just focusing on being happy.” For music and more by Hannah Jobus, visit www.philvillerecords.com/hannahjobus. February 11, 2021 — — 15

IN GOOD TASTE

Heart-y eats at home or onsite by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nshaffer@timespublications.com

alentine’s Day falls on Sunday this year, and over the President’s Day holiday weekend. If you’re fortunate enough to have a sweetheart in your bubble, there’s going to be ample time to celebrate. Now that outdoor dining is on the menu once again, Valentine’s Day specials are popping up all over the county. But there are wonderful options for gourmet eats at home, too. Whether you’re dining in or out, consider these options for Feb. 14.

Casa Bella

391 E. Main St., Ventura • 805-340-1118 www.casabellaventura.com The stylish Casa Bella in Downtown Ventura (a Mexican-influenced sister to Midtown’s Prime) has the perfect Valentine’s Day option for beef lovers: the $99 “Best of Bella” four-course meal for two with 32 oz. of prime-cut ribeye plus your choice of appetizer, soup or salad and side dishes. There are numerous options: chorizo mussels, filet mignon chile relleno, Mexican Caesar salad, lobster bisque, balsamic Brussels sprouts and much more. Reservations are highly recommended for dining onsite, although getting your meal to go is also an option. Ribeye not your thing? No problem — the regular menu features a wide array of surf and turf specialties as well.

La Dolce Vita 1901

740 S. B St., Oxnard • 805-486-6878 www.ladolcevita1901.com One of the prettiest patios can be found in Oxnard’s Heritage Square, where longtime favorite La Dolce Vita will be serving up a multi-course menu of international specialties. Starters include salad, creamy tomato soup, LDV’s famous pumpkin ravioli and more. The five entrees on offer feature something for everyone, such as a grilled vegetable ravioli, baked salmon or Beef Wellington. Finish up with raspberry lemon tart, caramel apple cheesecake or tiramisu. Don’t forget the restaurant’s wine, beer and drinks selections, including the pink-hued Be Mine cocktail made with gin, mint and cranberry juice. Reservations are required for seating Friday-Sunday. For takeout, pre-order by Wednesday, Feb. 10.

Clockwise from top left: Brazilian seafood stew at Moqueca; Florentine steak from Paradise Pantry; Casa Bella’s steak and creamed spinach; filet mignon bites from Twenty88.

Paradise Pantry

222 E. Main St., Ventura • 805-641-9440 www.paradisepantry.com One of the area’s best wine and cheese shops is a great place to get artisan eats to enjoy at home. It also offers truly gourmet from-scratch food to go — smoked trout caviar, upscale mac and cheese, super soups and more. Valentine’s Day Weekend features a special menu with cheese and charcuterie plates, pate, fish soup, Florentine steak, several desserts and much more. Limited quantities and very limited seating, so call ASAP for reservations or curbside pickup.

Rabalais’ Bistro

The Ranch House

102 Besant Road, Ojai • 805-646-2360 www.theranchhouse.com Fine dining in a setting straight out of a fairy tale. Twinkling lights, verdant landscaping, winding stone paths . . . this is one of the most romantic restaurants in Ventura County, with some of the tastiest cuisine, too. The menu changes with the season, but you can count on it to always be fresh, inventive and delicious. This is likely to be one of the hottest spots in town, so place your reservations early — or plan on getting your meal to go.

Twenty88 Bistro

861 E. Main St., Santa Paula • 805-525-2109 www.rabalaisbistro.com Seriously satisfying New Orleans-inspired cuisine, Southern hospitality and a great patio right on picturesque Main Street in Downtown Santa Paula — a treat for any day; especially memorable for Valentine’s Day. Brunch is wonderful here, too, so consider celebrating early on Sunday. Another idea: Hit the mouthwatering bakery counter and indulge in some desserts to enjoy at home with your loved one.

2088 Ventura Blvd., Camarillo • 805-388-2088 www.twenty88.com This Camarillo favorite specializes in California fusion and shakes up some of the best martinis in the area. The filet mignon skewers and goat cheese egg rolls are beloved by regulars, but there’s lots to enjoy at this popular bistro: delicately prepared fish, a bourbon-glazed pork chop, the famed six-hour braised short rib and to-die-for sangria. The gorgeous plating is guaranteed to impress. If a full dinner sounds like too much, consider a happy hour date where you can take advantage of the creative cocktails and the impressive small bites menu.

Delicious food with a beautiful view is one way to stir up some romance, and both are easy to fulfill in Wonderful Near the Water these parts. We have not one but TWO scenic harbors with desirable dining options.

Oxnard’s Channel Islands Harbor boasts a tastebud-tantalizing mix of cuisines, with everything from the freshest seafood and sushi (Sea Fresh) to rich and flavorful Brazilian (Moqueca) to spicy Indian (The Masala Twist) to good ol’ burgers and chowder (The Lookout). Watch the boats go by as you dig in, or, if you’re getting takeout, take a stroll before pickup. www.channelislandsharbor.org/dining/ Ventura Harbor Village has it all — lovely surroundings, interesting shops and fantastic restaurants. Many have created specials just for Valentine’s Day. Margarita Villa has a basket giveaway that includes a bottle of quality tequila, a bar kit and some other neat items — a great gift for tough-to-shop-for sweethearts. The Greek, with it’s fantastic waterfront patio, has the Sweetheart Dinner for Two: a four-course meal that includes a bottle of wine. Water’s Edge is offering a three-course meal with wine, plus special charcuterie and chocolate options. Anything red is 10% off at seafood market Wild Local during the week leading up to Feb. 14. Even ice cream shop Coastal Cone is feeling the love, with a Love Planet dessert featuring “starberry” cheesecake soft serve, cheesecake bites, pie crust, graham crackers and fresh local strawberries. www.venturaharborvillage.com/event/valentines-day-2021/2021-02-12/

ADVICE GODDESS

whose eyes have yet to be plucked out by crows. This does not change when a man is in a relationship, even if he really, really loves the woman he’s with. But many women believe that the eyes of a man in love wouldn’t wander up and down other women and that being in a relationship should limit where eyeballs are allowed to travel: basically, You can’t have your cake and look at other cake, too. Men have perhaps 15 to 20 times the testosterone women do, and this seems to play a major role in how visually powered male sexuality is. An episode of NPR’s “This American Life” featured Griffin Hansbury, who was born female and lived as a lesbian and then underwent sex reassignment surgery. Transitioning began with testosterone injections. Before starting testosterone, Hansbury would see a woman on the subway and think: “She’s attractive. I’d like to meet her. What’s that book she’s reading?” With the testosterone injections, even noticing nice ankles on a woman flooded Hansbury’s mind “with aggressive pornographic images. ... It was like ... a pornographic movie house in my mind. And I couldn’t turn it off.”

It’s important to note that Hansbury overdid it on the testosterone injections at first, giving himself two to seven times the testosterone of the average male. So, the 24-hour porno mind Hansbury describes is probably seriously extreme compared with what goes through your boyfriend’s mind. However, a general idea of what men experience points to why strip clubs for men are big business, while the few strip clubs for women are funny business: places they go not to get turned on but to haze a bride-to-be, laughing in her face at the giant flashing plastic vagina hat they’ve made her wear. Ask a man why he eye-humps a woman, and if he’s honest, he’ll tell you it’s because she’s hot. But there’s an underlying (subconscious) reason: “Evolution makes me do it.” Because men only get pregnant in women’s revenge fantasies, they evolved not to seek committed “providers” as partners as women do, but to prioritize physical attractiveness. We all like a nice view, but there’s more to this preference than aesthetics. The features men find beautiful in women — youth, smooth skin, pillowy lips, “neotenous” (aka childlike) features like big eyes, and an hourglass figure — are

correlated with fertility and health. In other words, men evolved to be drawn to women who look like really great candidates for passing on their genes. Men’s brains motivate them to stare at sexual eye candy in ways women’s brains do not. In brain imaging research by psychiatrist and neuroscientist Hans C. Breiter and his colleagues, heterosexual men viewing attractive female faces showed increased activation in the brain’s “reward regions”: areas involved in the anticipation of reward (also activated by food, drugs, and money). The message to the man: “That’s rewarding! Go get it!” The good news is we are not mental robots, slaves to our urges. In most men, the brain’s “go get it!” message simply leads to more looking, not nooners with the hot-erellas of Instagram. Some women consider looking cheating, and they tell their partner he’s not allowed to eyeball other women. Chances are this doesn’t stop the looking; it just turns men into sneaks and liars and their partner into the enemy they have to keep secrets from. You don’t say that when your boyfriend’s with you he goes rude and unloving: stops talking midsentence while his eyes

Stare Way To Heaven

I’m a girl in my early 20s, and I recently started dating a guy I met in college. I’m very happy, except for one issue: For as long as I’ve known him, he’s followed Instagram accounts of attractive women with provocative photos (ranging from half-naked to entirely naked), and he’ll “like” these pics. This really bothers me; however, I don’t want to be the overbearing girlfriend. Why does he do this, and does it matter? — Disturbed There’s a certain kind of man who’s drawn to the sight of half-naked pert breasts, and it’s the kind 18 — — February 11, 2021

hike up some underdressed woman’s boobs. So, maybe you can use the strong biological and physiological basis of men’s girl gawking to keep yourself from taking his Instagram sightseeing personally. Consider that the guy set aside another strong evolved male preference — the longing for sexual variety — to be with you. In other words, being with you means a lot to him. Sure, he still spends time browsing in the online mall of naked and half-naked women, but browsing isn’t buying. Assess whether he seems to be a good person, a person of character, and a guy who consistently shows you he loves you and has your back. If so, your best bet might be staying out of his browser history and recognizing that a little eye-humping doesn’t mean there will be eye-penis coordination.

SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF VENTURA. NOTICE OF HEARING BY PUBLICATION WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS CODE §366.26 J072719 HEARING DATE: 04/14/2021 TIME: 08:30 am COURTROOM: J1 In the matter of the Petition of the County of Ventura Human Services Agency regarding freedom from parental custody and control on behalf of PearlJam R. Castaneda, a child. To: Vanessa R. Castaneda, Brandon Lee, and to all persons claiming to be the parents of the above-named person who is described as follows: name PearJam R. Castaneda, Date of Birth: 11/24/2020, Place of Birth: Ventura, CA, Father's name: Brandon Lee, Mother’s name: Vanessa Castaneda. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26, a hearing has been scheduled for your child. You are hereby notified that you may appear on 04/14/2021, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon as counsel can be heard in Courtroom J1 of this Court at Juvenile Justice Center 4353 Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA 9 3 0 3 6 . Y O U A R E F U RTHER ADVISED as follows: At the hearing the Court must choose and implement one of the following permanent plans for the child: adoption, guardianship, or long term foster care. Parental rights may be terminated at this hearing. On 04/14/2021, the Human Services Agency will recommend termination of parental rights. The child may be ordered placed in long term foster care, subject to the regular review of the Juvenile Court; or, a legal guardian may be appointed for the child and letters of guardianship be issued; or, adoption may be identified as the permanent placement goal and the Court may order that efforts be made to locate an appropriate adoptive family for the child for a period not to exceed 180 days and set the matter for further review; or, parental rights may be terminated. You are entitled to be present at the hearing with your attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are entitled to have the Court appoint counsel for you. A thirty-day continuance may be granted if necessary for counsel to prepare the case. At all termination proceedings, the Court shall consider the wishes of the child and shall act in the best interest of the child. Any order of the Court permanently terminating parental rights under this section shall be conclusive and binding upon the minor person, upon the parent or parents, and upon all other persons who have been served with citation by publication or otherwise. After making such an order, the Court shall have no power to set aside, change, or modify it, but this shall not be construed to limit the rights to appeal the order. If the Court, by order or judgment, declares the child free from the custody and control of both parents, or one parent if the other no longer has custody and control, the Court shall, at the same time, order the child referred to the licensed County adoption agency for adoptive placement by that agency. The rights and procedures described above are set forth in detail in the California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 366.26. You are referred to that section for further particulars. Michael J.

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 0211_VCReporter_CLASSIFIEDS.indd 23 same lender may hold more

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 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 16-20332-SPCA. 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.

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.

Cannabis & Your Love Life Valentine's Day Edition

The Good

The Great

The Ugly

Cannabis is a natural mood booster that has helped many people deal with the stressors in their lives that can create a toxic relationship. Being an overall happier person helps your connection, and the added benefit-laughter. It’s been proven that laughter deepens relationships and increases endorphins. So enjoy some cannabis with your partner to destress and get silly. It can also open up your mind to new perspectives, using a little cannabis and spending time chatting about your feelings can make it so both of you are opened up emotionally. Mundane tasks also become a lot more enjoyable. Monotony can be a drain in relationships, so get high and cook a nice dinner together and savor the flavors, or watch a TV show. It’s bound to be a little more exciting than the average weeknight.

Let’s talk about sex. The right amount of THC can increase arousal, and while “the right amount” differs for everyone, experiment with different strains and dosing. Start low, and explore with your partner to see what the right dose is for each of you. Since you’re already relaxed and comfortable, you’re more likely to be open with your partner to have meaningful moments--outside and inside of the bedroom. THC also heightens your sense of touch and increases blood flow which heightens sensations, and with the added benefit of lowered inhibitions. Timing is key, you may find you’re feeling in the moment right away after smoking, but if you wait too long you might just feel tired.

Too much cannabis can also, unfortunately, have a negative effect on some relationships. Smoking too much can leave some people feeling unmotivated, and if one partner is always on the couch feeling lazy, that can leave the other partner feeling unimportant or bored. Make sure you and your partner are both on the same page. Overdoing it can also hinder your sex drive, or even make intimacy feel uncomfortable. Couples who have shared hobbies gain a deeper connection, and responsible cannabis use can be a great shared hobby for you and your partner. Just remember to keep your hearts, minds, and communication open.
