Mystery at the Albinger Museum

What is the mystery at the Albinger?

by Richard Senate

I enjoy the Travel Channel program “Mysteries at the Museum” where displayed artifact are used to tell stories of the past. While watching the show I speculated on if such things can be found in Ventura Counties’ Museums and it came to me that we house a really weird mystery at the Albinger Archaeological Museum on Main Street, Ventura.

Its a big rock with marks on it. The artifact is listed as a mystery stone.  It was found by archaeologists near the old Mission in 1972.  The marks seem to be made with some really hard stone or metal tool. It is a bunch of lines cut into the rock. The question is–what was it?  The team suggested it may have been used to make shell beads, or perhaps to teach the use of a chisel to Native Converts. Some even speculated it might be a treasure map (there is a big “X” on the stone).

In the 1980s a couple visited the museum and  came to the conclusion it was really “Ogam.” a sort of writing developed in Ireland in the Middle Ages. Stones with such markings are found in Ireland and even the east coast of the United States, leading some to believe that Irish Monks may have discovered America before Columbus!

Records do say that an Irish Saint named Brendan did make a voyage west to the new world  in the 6th Century (maybe he visited Oak Island?) .  They copied the lines on the stone and later informed the city they could translate the message as saying ” This is the western boundary.”  Ogam was used on boundary stones in the Old World but what could it mean?

Was Ventura the farthest west the sons of Ireland claimed? A unique piece and one that may well need to be studied further. When your downtown one weekend, visit the Albinger Museum and see if you can interpret the mysterious  stone.   If the Irish got here first it may well re-write the history of the Golden State and the story of the west!

Person to Person

We asked Breeze staff what they liked best about the Fair.

Patricia Schallert
I really enjoyed being at the fair when the gates opened. The anticipation and the looks on the attendee’s faces was priceless. I then spotted the big ice cream cone with no line. I don’t eat ice cream very often but the big giant cone called my name and I had to have it. The combination of vanilla and chocolate soft ice cream made my day at the fair.

Amy Brown
My favorite part of the County Fair was attending my first fair concert! I can’t believe I’ve lived here all these years and had not experienced that before, I’ll definitely do more next year. It is such a great venue for live music, plenty of room, seats and a great stage. I was at the Cheap Trick concert (another first—strangely, since I’ve always been a big fan.) It was so much fun, and getting to interview their diehard fans was wonderful, as well. I also loved seeing so many happy faces in general—people were clearly thrilled to have the fair back in full swing.

Shirley Lorraine
This year was a treat for me. I attended on three separate days, primarily to volunteer in the San Buenaventura Women’s Club information booth. We interacted with an extraordinary mix of people and enjoyed people-watching. Each day has its own special atmosphere. I loved taking my time looking at exhibits and wandering through the halls to see the varied creativity of entry, from youth to super seniors. That is my favorite thing – to see the marvelous things people do with their time. It was a pleasure to see some friends who work the fair circuit, as well as meeting new friends. I’ve been coming to the VC Fair for over 50 years and just love it. So glad it’s back.

Upcoming General Plan community workshops

The General Plan is a high-level guiding document that sets the vision for the City.

Community members are encouraged to take part in the City of Ventura’s next critical phase of its General Plan Update related to land use alternatives. The series of participation opportunities kicks off with an in-person workshop at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30, at the Museum of Ventura County, located at 100 East Main Street. Additionally, the City will host a virtual workshop at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 1.

The General Plan is a high-level guiding document that sets the vision for the City and the goals and policies of how and where the City should grow and change over the next 20-30 years. A part of the General Plan is a land use map that shows the type of uses desired in the City, where they should go, and intensity of those uses. This includes housing, retail, parks, schools, industrial, and many other uses.

This next phase of the General Plan Update process will include a series of maps that will lay out areas where land uses could be adjusted to meet the needs and desires of the community for the next 20 years. These land use alternatives will examine different ways to achieve the outcomes identified in the draft vision statement. The feedback received to date from the visioning work, online surveys, workshops, and events shape the basis for these maps.

“For the last two years, the City’s General Plan team has hosted dozens of workshops and outreach events as well as heard from thousands of residents about their vision for the future of Ventura,” shared Mayor Sofia Rubalcava. “This next phase of the General Plan Update process combines all the shared input and ideas to offer alternative options related to how we use our land.”

Community members will have the opportunity to review the different land use maps for distinct subareas of the City, to ensure specific considerations and input is captured throughout the City, and provide feedback.

Additional participation opportunities that will be coming up include online surveys, neighborhood community council meeting presentations, and in-person and virtual office hours.

Vol. 15, No. 24 – Aug 24 – Sept 6, 2022 – Movie Review

Streaming Spotlight by Cindy Summers
Look Both Ways – Netflix Originals

3 out of 4 palm trees
Breeze rating from 1 to 4 palm trees, 4 being best.

In Look Both Ways, Natalie (Lili Reinhart) and Gabe (Danny Ramirez) had been the best of friends while attending college together at the University of Texas. Natalie was working toward her goal of becoming an animated film producer, while Gabe was pursuing a music career as a drummer with his band. Just before graduation, they decided to have a friendly sexual encounter, both agreeing to not make a big deal out of the situation. On the eve of her graduation, Natalie found herself feeling unwell, and though they used protection, there seemed to be the possibility that she might have gotten pregnant.

Natalie’s best friend Cara (Aisha Dee) went to the store and purchased crackers to help if it was some bad 7-11 sushi they had eaten, and also bought several home pregnancy tests. It’s at this point that Natalie’s life split into two parallel realities, one where she’s not pregnant and moves to Los Angeles with her best friend Cara to pursue a career in animation and the other where she is pregnant and after talking with Gabe decides to keep the baby and stay in her hometown and move back in with her parents.

Initially upon hearing the news that Natalie was pregnant, her parents Rick (Luke Wilson) and Tina (Andrea Savage) were upset feeling that she would be giving up her dream of an animation career and also concerned for Gabe ability to support her in any way. Natalie stressed that she was not giving up her dream, merely putting it on hold for a bit, and Gabe assured them her would do his part in supporting their child. Natalie and Gabe decided against marriage, as they just considered themselves good friend, so when the baby was born, Gabe moved into the guest bedroom in the house and helped Natalie with parenting.

Meanwhile, in Natalie’s LA life, she and Cara moved into an apartment together as Cara had already secured a job and Natalie began her search to find any work in animation. As luck would have it, the animator she idolized was looking for an assistant, which she was able to land due to some clever efforts on her part. Unfortunately, her job was clerical and it seemed that her boss had no interest in her animation skills. Natalie was patient and waited for the right moment to share her portfolio with her boss, but she was shot down saying her work was very representative of other known styles and lacked originality.

Back in Texas as their daughter Rosie grew to a preschooler, Natalie and Gabe pursued their separate lives while raising her together. Gabe got his own apartment and started dating at Natalie’s urging, and Natalie began drawing again and came up with an animated short inspired by raising her daughter. At the same time in LA, Natalie had a new love interest she worked with and was planning to move in together as she pursued creating her own animated film after basically being fired after reviewing her portfolio with her boss.

In the end it would appear that there was no wrong choice for Natalie, and although both version of her reality had their own unique challenges, ultimately she would fulfill her dream of becoming an animated film producer through the trials and tribulations that each path presented. It’s a great example of the convergence of destiny and free will, where her life was destine to have her meet specific people and accomplish specific things, both which were found true with either path she chose.
