Area-wide treatment for the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) will begin in the Ojai Valley in May, according to the Ventura County Farm Bureau. The California Depart- ment of Food and Agricul- ture (CDFA) sent notices of forthcoming pesticide treatment to many homes in the Ojai Valley this week, and invited community members to participate in open house meetings re- garding treatment plans.

They want to help their peers learn the skills and understanding to deal with these unique pressures.” Since its inception in 2006, the workshops have offered a platform for thou- sands of local youth to learn con dence, access knowl- edge to comprehensive sex education and develop a set of healthy relationship tools and skills, Greene said.

Olivella and Vine, at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, was recently named the county’s only four-diamond restaurant.

Shred Day set for Saturday

If you’re looking for din -ner at a four-diam ond restau-ran t, go no farther than the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa (OVI), whose new Olivella and Vine received that designation from the Am erican Autom o-bile Association (AAA) in early February. You’d have to travel a lot farther from Ojai before you found another; in fact, Olivella and Vine (generally known as Olivella, for short) is the on ly four-diam ond eat-ery in the en tire coun ty.

“The four-diam ond rat-

OVI has en joyed a AAA hotel rating of fi ve diam onds ever since 2006, so the restau-ran t’s new status m ight not com e as any surprise. Dillon attribu tes m uch of the suc-cess to the collective culinary prowess of executive chef Trum an Jones, who oversees all of the din ing at OVI, and chef de cu isine Andrea Ro-della, who directs the cookin g for Olivella.

Ma r jor ie An n e Hu bba rdMarjorie Anne Hubbard was born on

Novem ber 7, 1953. She passed away peacefully at hom e on March 10, 2016 after a heroic three-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

After graduating from Nordhoff High School, Anne wen t on to earn a BS from UCSB and then a m aster’s degree from UC-Davis in biological science. She

worked for the U.S. Park Service in Yosem ite Valley and later for the U.S. and Ventura County Agricultural Departm ents.

Later, Anne transitioned in to in terior design and worked for several com panies as a project m anager. Her sense of style was unm atched. Even tually, she purchased Consign ing Wom en, a wom en’s cloth ing shop. With her artfu l care and creative, loving spirit, the shop flourished. Her shop was about m uch m ore than selling cloth ing and jewelry. It was a safe place where wom en who were facing challenges in their lives could find love, support and encouragem en t.

Anne unselfishly dedicated m any years to caring for her m other m aking it possible for her m other to spend those last years in her own hom e. Anne had a trem endous love for others and m uch of her tim e was dedicated to helping her friends and fam ily. She always strived to find ways to m ake a loving and positive difference in the lives of others.

On a blind date in the spring of 2008 she m et the love of her life, Michael Hoover. They were in separable from that day forward. Together they en joyed working, garden ing, cooking, traveling, riding m otorcycles, and they loved their life together. They were m arried on her birthday in 2014. She often said these were the happiest years of her life. Her husband Michael says Anne can best be described in one word, Love.

“It gives boys the chance to explore their self-image and discuss how sexual-ity and masculinity are por-trayed in the media,” Greene said. “ When boys learn strong communication skills, it al-lows them to be active par-ticipants in healthy relation-ships.”

The Boys Integrity Project is led by Casey Murphy, who joined the team in 2012.

Murphy’s expertise comes from working with teens in therapeutic wilderness set-tings.

“ I’ve been lucky enough to work most of my life in jobs that I fi nd are important to myself and to my commu-nity,” Murphy said. “The Boys Integrity Project encompass-es a lot of what young men are faced with these days and establishes meaningful dis-cussions around these top-ics.”

Murphy runs the boys workshops annually at Ojai Valley School, Chaparral High School, Nordhoff High School and Matilija Junior High School as well as a ro-tating program for all public school sixth-graders.

“ Its too easy to become complacent and think that we live in a town that is without some of these larger issues,” Murphy said. “That’s when we become disconnected from the youth in our community. This program helps to keeps everyone engaged and aware of these contemporary issues. And that helps to cultivate trust and leadership among everyone involved.”

Chaparral program grad-uate Jackie Gutierrez will be on hand to help with the an-niversary event.

“The Girls Empower-ment Workshop has made a big difference in my every-

day life,” Gutierrez said. “ I have learned that everyone is amazing in their own ways. I don’t have to look like a model from a magazine or a model from Instagram or any social media to be beautiful. I am a confi dent girl now. I no longer let people tell me how I should feel about myself. I am 100 percent comfort-able with my body because I know my body will change regardless of the things I do to it and that’s OK. I now can set boundaries. I can set my rules and can take control as well. I love myself, I love my confi dence. I love every little inch of me now. I now know my worth and I am extremely happy.”

Shelby Olerich, another Chaparral program partici-pant, expressed similar senti-ments.

“The Girls Empower-ment Workshop taught me

my self worth and that what I say matters and that it’s OK for me to say no and express my feelings without feeling guilty,” Olerich said. “ I want to do the day of empower-ment and mentoring with the younger girls because I wish I would have had that oppor-tunity and it makes you fi nd your love for yourself and re-ally teaches you valuable les-sons about life.”

The workshops are sup-ported annually by the Ojai Valley Youth Foundation, Ojai Rotary West, Ojai Valley Lions Club, Rotary Club of Ojai and community donations.

The April 19 anniversary event runs from 4 to 8 p.m. with signup taking place at the door of Chaparral Audi-torium 414 E. Ojai Ave. begin-ning at 3:30 p.m. Visit twww.thegi r lsem powermentworkshop.org for more informa-tion about the workshops.

della’s grandmother.“ We have few signature

dishes on the menu,” she said. “My personal choice goes to the branzino dish. This fi sh is seasoned with toasted fen-nel seeds powder, pan seared and served with local fennel from Santa Barbara in two different preparations: One is a puree with watercress and the other is confi t. The sauce that completes the dish is made with Ojai Pixies from a nearby farm.”

With the removal of its south wall, the Wallace Neff Heritage Bar now shares a spacious continuity with the restaurant itself, including a new cocktail bar whose menu pays homage to the original architect with a drink called Wallace’s Muse.

The bar’s resident mixolo-gist, Sam Gay, works a lot with traditional recipes, according to Dillon. “There’s defi nitely a trend these days toward going back to old-fashioned cocktails,” she said, “and he has incorporated that into his mixes.”

With a seating capacity of 240, the Olivella layout in-cludes al fresco tables on out-side patios in addition to the main dining area, as well as several rooms for private din-ing. One of these, a private wine room, is surrounded by a “wine library,” Dillon said, an extensive collection of bottles representing the fi n-

est vintages of fornia alike.

The Oversight Com-

mittee has identifi ed prior-ity projects at the elementary schools as well, but has so far avoided in-depth discus-sion while the 7-11 Commit-tee discussed how to utilize elementary school surplus property.

The other speakers — in-cluding OUSD superinten-dent Hank Bangser, physi-cian Rob Feiss and Ojai City Councilman William Weirick — were in full support of the resolution.

Bangser commended Ojai

Friends for Locally Owned Water (Ojai F.L.O.W.) for its efforts in bringing the issue of a buyout to the ballot in 2013. “The credibility and strength and passion of that group is worth supporting,” he said.

“Golden State is a blight upon this community,” he said, “and it needs to be got-ten rid of,” Feiss told the crowd.

I recognize we live in a tim e and a world where life is as precarious as it was two m illen n ia ago when the tim e fram e between the fall of Rom e un til the era called the Renaissance was referred to by h istorians as the “Dark Ages.” It was an era when Rom e’s glory lay in ru ins and where on ce all roads which had previously led to Rom e had becom e eroded byways of m arauders, m ayhem , and danger. Life was cheap, short and som ething to endure.

Miss Buttons hopefully m ay also be em erging from her own personal “Dark Ages.” From her p icture she is an adorable-looking

orange tabby and from her story she too was treated by her form er fam ily just as the barbarians treated ancien t Rom e with callous, m al-ice, m eann ess and indiffer-ence. They m oved away and left her to fend for herself un til som e caring hum an being brought her to our an im al shelter. Her report con tinues with “her lovely long hair was so m atted it had to be clipped off.”

This is n ot an uncom -m on situation for m any of the creatures at our an im al shelter. Most of the resi-den ts there were at som e tim e in their lives loved and taken care of p roperly, but a sh ift in fortune changed their world just as it does for hum an bein gs. An d as we are in form ed by televi-sion and prin t m edia, often children are aban doned and m altreated by indifferen t or depraved paren ts.

There are a num ber of sociologists who claim som e people will never be fi t to nurture children properly. In all likelihood, m any of us have noticed a few of them in our lifetim e (the paren ts not the sociologists). Regrettably som e paren ts th ink ch ildren are expend-able. Just that thought is horrifi c. An d for those of us who live with pets and love them as they should be loved, caring for them is second nature. Pet guard-ians, good ones at least, are attun ed to their charges’ m oods, habits and vicis-situdes. And as we age and our ch ildren leave the hom e-stead and begin to forge their own destin ies, our pets becom e our ch ildren and their well-being is one of the m ost sign ifi can t factors in our lives.

I live with m y Twinkles, the m ost precious thing in

m y life n ow. I didn’t know a th ing about cats un til Mr. Chips walked in to m y life when I was 63 years old. He opened m y eyes to so m uch and so m any th ings I had no notion even existed. He was the start of one of m y great-est learn ing and m aturation experiences which con tin -ued with Tottie. I realize of-fi cially I am Twinkles’ guard-ian , bu t I often feel she is m y guardian . At th is tim e in m y life I would be lost withou t her. The bond is so close, we both sleep on the sam e pillow and som etim es when I turn over we are n ose-to-nose. And I believe her attachm ent to m e is equal to m ine for her.

I have lived with three cats and have loved them all and have been loved by them . The abuse of any crea-tu re is both heart- and gut-wren chin g. And if Dan te’s descrip tion of his seven

circles of hell is accurate, I say let those who abuse an i-m als be assigned to Circle 7. The acceptance of cats by hum an ity has been a m ixed bag. Som e people associate them with evil sp irits and bad luck and frequen tly have harassed them to death . On the other hand, the ancien t Egyptians worshiped cats as gods. And both cat detrac-

tors and cat affi claim cats haveten th is. Of couposite reason s. tim e, will som eto the Hum aneclaim Miss Butther with heart atim e the on e whprobably conclone of the best in a lifetim e.

FEATURED LETTER by Jon Lambert, Ojai Valley Library Friends and Foundation

We are about to begin a new chapter in the life of historic Ojai buildThe Library Bookstore building

has stood in p lace since 1922 when it was constructed by Edm und Lib-bey as a real estate offi ce for selling Arbolada parcels. The buildin g, designed in the Pueblo Revival style by Mead and Requa, originally had a pergola attached to the fron t sup-ported by three colum ns. Over tim e the pergola was lost as the building passed from one owner to another. For nearly 90 years th is building has stood next to the Ojai Library (itself bu ilt in 1928). The buildin g is set back from the pedestrian sidewalk and the stucco and tile facade has decorative tiles set in to its surface. Today the building retains m uch of the look that it acquired when it fi rst stood nearly a cen tury ago.

The Ojai Valley Library Friends and Foundation (OVLFF) has utilized the buildin g as its used bookstore, Twice-Sold Tales, since

acquiring it in 2003. Because the building is a tangible rem inder of Ojai’s h istory OVLFF com m issioned a h istorical study in 2011 that found the building was not deem ed as su itable for inclusion in the State or National Register of Historical Buildings because of the changes that were m ade over the decades.

Recogn izing the im portance of the structure to Ojai’s h istory The Friends have, at the sam e tim e, worried about the building itself. The structure apparen tly was built in two phases: the fron t area by Ojai Avenue was constructed on a concrete slab, and the rear con-structed on boards laid directly on the ground. The wiring is archaic, roof in need of con tinual repair, the building is riddled with term ites and The Friends fi nd them selves having to “patch” the fron t facade on a regular basis. And there re-

m ains the constan t worry about the building’s safety (an d the volun -teers an d patrons with in it) should there be an earthquake.

All of these considerations, coupled with the need of the Ojai Library for a separate m eeting space, expressed to The Friends by our form er librarian , led OVLFF to begin exploring various option s.

After consulting with structural engineers and discussing several com peting alternatives, OVLFF decided to rebuild the en tire struc-ture, with one exception . The fron t facade of the buildin g rem ain s very m uch as originally designed and constructed in 1922, so The Friends have worked with the Historic Preservation Com m ission of Ojai to have the fron t facade nam ed as a city of Ojai h istorical landm ark. To enhan ce the h istorical character, The Friends have included in to the

construction p lans a new, rep lace-m ent pergola, its design based on h istorical photographs of the Lib-bey building.

On ce the OVLFF board of direc-tors decided to rebuild, an d add a 600-square-foot m eetin g room for library and com m un ity use, the group had to con sider how to fund such a project. Although OVLFF had som e funds set aside, and the group is very conservative about how it uses m on ies that have been don ated by the Ojai public, it appeared that a m ajor fundrais-ing effort was in store. However, The Friends were surprised by a notifi cation that Richard Geres had died an d n am ed OVLFF in h is will, leaving us nearly $350,000. That gift, coupled with an other “legacy gift” from Nina Shelley, brought the construction project forward to where it is today.

Working with CornArchitects and Supan OVLFF will offer residcom fortable and convbookstore and com m uing room . All perm its received and we hopeconstruction process vOVLFF will post, bothsite and Facebook pagupdates on the progrestruction for anyone inwill take about seven mbecause we are workinthe Libbey facade andpergola, there will be sven ience for pedestriaalong the south side oenue.

Was the letter writer pedaling nonsense?JOHN M. GRAY, Ojai

Letters to the Editor

Just wan t to give folks a heads-up that Southern Cali-forn ia Gas Com pany is esti-m ating a lot of bills, an d that two people I know of had bills that were over $20 off, in the gas com pany’s favor.

They always say the sam e th in g, “It was an especially cold January,” but the bills were estim ated, not from physically read m eters.

Check your bill, call the num ber provided if you feel it’s h igh , and you can read them your m eter n um bers. They are recalcu latin g m in e now, January and February were twice last year’s bill!

Perhaps they’re trying to recoup som e of the costs of the Porter Ranch fi asco? Just wondering.

I say thum bs-down to a water com pany that charges m ore than adjacen t com pa-n ies, issues a boil-your-water advisory, allows a residence to burn while a nearby hy-dran t is inoperable, closes Ojai’s on ly m ovie house for 19 m onths and coun ting, stalls a willing buyer, then is-sues a press release saying it “has proudly served the Ojai com m unity.”

I loved the recen t letter on bicycle safety on Highway 150. The writer described the road graphically. “It is poorly built and m ain tained. There are little to no shoulders … forcing cyclists in to the lane …” He then goes on to say that “Highway 150 is a world-class cyclin g asset”!

The speed lim it on the highway is 55 for au tom o-biles. The idea of cycling up a h ighway with blind curves, little or no shoulders, in bad repair and, by the way, fre-quen t rock slides at perhaps 5 m iles an hour with au tos go-ing 55 m ight m ake one ques-tion your good sense, if not san ity. Looking for a Darwin award?

Due to a recen t m edical procedure I was not able to operate m y vehicle for over a m on th .

During that tim e, I relied on a wonderfu l resource we have in Ojai Valley, Help of Ojai. The volun teer drivers

always showed up early to p ick m e up goin g an d com -ing, and were friendly and exceedingly helpful.

I hope the com m unity understands how im portan t Help of Ojai is, and con tinues to support its m ission .

Thank you, Help of Ojai.

Have any of your read-ers driven south on Ven tura Street (which becom es Creek Road at the sharp turn ), and praised the good Lord that one of those m an y hum on-gous sycam ore or oak trees did not fall on their car?

Most of the old lim bs lean over the streets as op-posed to over the creek, th reaten ing those who live right to con tinue on their journey. It’s on ly a m atter of tim e un til a car and driver are squashed; it is a disaster waiting to happen .

City of Ojai? Coun ty of Ven tura? Please rem ove those lim bs before it is too late.

Donald Trum p fi rst said that wom en m ust be pun -ished for having illegal abor-tions.

Then two hours later (after the backlash), he changed h is m ind and said that wom en should not be pun ished for having illegal abortions.

Then Ted Cruz agreed with Trum p (even though he hates h im ), saying that wom en should never be pun -ished for having an illegal abortion .

Ted also says that he will do everyth ing he can to m ake sure that abortion becom es illegal.

How can som eth in g be

illegal and at the sam e tim e if som eone com m its that illegal act, they can never be pun ished for it?

We sure are lucky to have gen iuses like Cruz and Trum p looking out for the Am erican people.

Regarding Bern ie Sanders sayin g that Hillary Clin ton is not qualifi ed to be presiden t because of the corporate m oney she takes in — I have always thought that any poli-tician who takes m oney from corporations is not qualifi ed to be presiden t because by taking corporate m oney, they m ust act in favor of the cor-porations and not the Am eri-can people.

This is why politicians are m aking sure that corpo-rations do not have to pay their fair share of taxes which

The Soule Park Men’s Golf Club held its annual South-ern Californ ia Golf Associa-tion (SCGA) qualifying tour-nam en t Saturday.

Scott Sn owbarger and Robin William s took the gross title, com bin ing for a best-ball score of 7-under-par, 65. Matt Murphy and Bruce Leichtfuss were the net-divi-sion victors, posting a best-ball total 11-under-par, 61.

Both pairs will represen t the club at the SCGA Best-Ball Club Cham pionship th is sum m er.

“This is defin itely an even t I like because we are p laying for a chance to repre-sen t Soule,” said Leichtfuss, who has advanced twice be-fore while p laying with Josh Lech .

“We’re super excited about represen tin g the club again ,” said Snowbarger, who has won th is tourn am en t and p layed with William s in the SCGA even t on two other oc-casion s. “We’ve never m ade it through to the finals, bu t we’re both p layin g well righ t now, so I’m expectin g th is will

be our year.”“It was one of those days

when we just found ways to get up and down,” said William s, who adm itted he hasn’t been p laying as m uch golf as usual lately.

Both William s and Snow-barger posted 3-under 69s Saturday. William s was hot early, m aking the turn at 4-under, fin ish ing the fron t with an eagle on 9 — a ch ip from just off the left fron t of the green that landed 12 feet above the hole and tracked right in . After a bogey on 10 — their on ly h iccup of the day — Snowbarger closed with birdies on 11, 13, 16 and 18.

Their 65 was good enough to win the gross fligh t by five. Runners-up Billy Brown and Jim Coldren , were awarded second gross after a card-off with Adrian Frape and Ryan Blatz.

Murphy and Leichtfuss won by a narrower m argin , edging runners-up Buck Crook and Danny Cole by just on e stroke and Dale Wilson and Greg Sapp by two.

“We just m ade a bunch of pars and were really a

good team ,” said Murphy. “It seem ed every tim e I had a bad hole, Bruce was there for m e.”

“There’s no secret (to winn ing th is). Just partner up with som eone who m akes every putt in side 10 feet,” Leichtfuss quipped.

The duo on ly tallied three gross birdies. Murphy re-cording the on ly deuce of the day on the th ird hole, and Leichtfuss sank birdie putts on 8 (the hardest hole on the course) and 10.

“Considering where the flags were, those were really good birdies,” said Murphy.

This will be the first tim e Murphy an d Leichtfuss have earned the honor of repre-sen ting the club together. “I th ink it’ll be cool to go,” said Murphy.

The SCGA regional quali-fier will be held at Rustic Can-yon . The cham pionships are slated for La Purisim a.

Saturday’s closest-to-the-p in con test winners were Jim Irvine on the th ird hole, Paul Wadsworth on six, Sapp on 10 and Charlie Casey on 16.

The next tournam ent is slated for May 14 and May 15.
