Prof. David Pellow to connect social justice and environmental sustainability

Recently featured on NPR, Dr. David Pellow is Professor of Environmental Studies.

Sharing highlights from his 2018 book, “What is Critical Environmental Justice?,” Dr. David Naguib Pellow will speak at the Ventura Unitarian Universalist Church at 5654 Ralston St. on Sunday August 26, 2018 from 11:30am to 12:30pm on the compelling case that social movements to benefit vulnerable people and environmental activism must be integrated, as the problems and the objectives of each are inextricably interconnected. Pellow argues that the battle for global sustainability cannot be won without addressing the ecological violence imposed on many human populations, thus justice for humans is inseparable from environmental protection.

Using examples such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and others, Pellow traces the complex power relationships that result in violence and marginalization for the many and environmental privileges for the few. He explains how hope for humanity and for the planet requires a broader understanding of environmental injustice—its causes, consequences and potential solutions and offers a framework (Critical Environmental Justice) that views “racism, ageism, speciesism and other forms of inequality as intersecting axes of domination and control.”

Pellow focuses on inequality and on environmental impacts that cross geographic boundaries and also explores the role of the state. He explains why broad involvement in the decision-making process is imperative to workable solutions—no one is expendable. A big “Aha” from listening to him is recognizing that environmental justice struggles exist within spaces of conflict and collaboration that are not always typically defined as “environmental.”

Recently featured on NPR, Dr. David Pellow is Professor of Environmental Studies and Director of the Global Environmental Justice Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A respected scholar, teacher, thought leader and author, Pellow helps audiences to connect the dots between social inequality and damage to ecosystems in brand new ways. His vision of what an environmentally and socially just and sustainable future might look like at a local, regional, national and global scale will leave the audience feeling hopeful.

This presentation is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by UUCV’s Adult Programs Department and Seventh Principle Environmental Action Team. More information about the Unitarian Universalist Church and its programs are available at uuventura.org.

Alphabet Soup: What is the Parkinson’s Foundation?

We hear about so many great local and national Parkinson’s organizations that at times it can become confusing! We call it “Alphabet Soup” when you hear people talk about PF, NPF, PDF, MJFF, APDA, PAN, PMD and the list goes on… Each organization offers something in service to the community, but who’s on first and what’s on second??

The Ventura Parkinson’s Disease Support Group is pleased to host the Parkinson’s Foundation on August 8 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at The Lexington Assisted Living, 5440 Ralston St in Ventura. The Parkinson’s Foundation has been around since 1957 with the singular mission to improve the lives of people living with Parkinson’s Disease.

Sarah Osborne will talk about what this means and how the Parkinson’s Foundation achieves their mission through resources, education and advocacy for you and your care-partner. She will also give a presentation on the Parkinson’s Foundation “Aware in Care” patient safety kit that prepares and empowers people with Parkinson’s before, during and after a hospital visit, and details on how you can obtain one. The kit contains tools and information to share with hospital staff during a planned or emergency hospital visit (at home or abroad!).

Sarah Osborne is the Parkinson’s Foundation Community Program Manager for California. She came to the foundation after her younger brother was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 32. Prior to joining the foundation, Sarah earned her B.S. in Journalism and worked in medical and healthcare marketing. She’s also been teaching Pilates, Yoga and Indoor Cycling with the YMCA since 2007 and believes in the power of movement for Parkinson’s Disease and for us all!

The Ventura Parkinson’s Disease Support Group welcomes the public, our members and their care-partners, and new friends who find themselves navigating the challenges of ageing, Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological conditions. Please feel free to join us on Wednesday, August 8th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at The Lexington Assisted Living, 5440 Ralston St. They are an independent and volunteer-organized group, not affiliated with or a part of any other organization or group. For more information, call Patty at 805-766-6070.

Thanks to the generosity of the Lexington Assisted Living, meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month from 1 to 3PM. There is a drop-off/loading and unloading driveway in the front of the Lexington Assisted entrance. Extra parking is graciously available across the street in the Baptist Church parking lot. Reservations are not required. Attendees are invited to check in at the front desk for directions to the 3rd floor and sign-in at the meeting.

Ventura City Fire and Police Department respond to single vehicle accident with trapped victims

In the early morning hours of July 30th Ventura City Fire and Police Department responded to a a single vehicle accident with trapped victims at Victoria / Olivas Park. They discovered a single vehicle involving a passenger van that had hit a traffic signal pole; two occupants were in the vehicle. Firefighters using hydraulic rescue tools to cut and pry the vehicle from the victim were able to free the trapped driver 45 minutes after their arrival. The two occupants were transported by ambulance to a local trauma center.

How to grow a lush, low-water use landscape with Mediterranean and California native plants

by Maryann Ridini Spencer (@MaryannRidiniSpencer)

Many people love keeping their garden maintained and seeing all their different plants and flowers bloom in the summer months. It can take some time but with the right equipment, it can be something everyone can do. If you’re wanting to take up gardening then going to your local garden center will help you find all the equipment you need. And as for electric mowers – greengrassmower has got you covered with a great comparison of all the best mowers on the market. Be sure you take a look before you buy anything! However, when you live in hotter regions, it can be hard to create a garden that fits in with the water-use regulations.

“When most people think of a stunning landscape, they tend to think of expansive, sprawling green lawns. However, these types of landscapes also consume a lot of water, negatively impacting our low reserves during the ongoing drought,” said Cari Vega, owner of A Smart Garden in Downtown Ventura. Vega taught the well-attended July 14th free gardening class, “Plant Selection for Water Wise Landscapes,” presented in partnership with Ventura Water. Gardening is beautiful as people can digest the fresh air and admire the beauty of the flowers, if you want some help with your gardening then you can check out some affordable landscape construction in Geelong, if this is where you require gardening services.

“Our city falls into the Mediterranean climate and enjoys a similar eco-climate to the West Coasts of Australia, Europe, the West tip of South Africa, and the West Coast of Chile,” continued Vega. “We’re fortunate that the variety of low-water Mediterranean and California native-plants that thrive in this environment offer quite a beautiful, bold and lush color palette.”

During the class, Vega stressed that one of the first things a homeowner should identify is their yard’s soil type. “In Ventura, we’ve got clay, sand or the ideal loam,” said Vega. “What works in mid-town Ventura, might not work closer to the ocean. Knowing what kind of soil you’re working with will help you determine the best plants to use and may even influence design elements in the garden like raised beds.”

Vega suggested that homeowners study up on the many varieties of low-water plants and “what plant goes where” at VenturaCountyGardening.com, talk to a local landscape design professional. Additionally, if anyone is looking to redesign their whole garden, after consulting with a landscape designer, they may have to look at what equipment services are available to make the dream garden come true. If the garden is going to have lots of trees or deep-rooted plants, perhaps heavy machinery should be used to create the space required for said plants.

Vega stresses creating a plan starting with the tallest planting – trees, followed by shrubs, perennials, and ground cover to ensure proper spacing so that the landscape can thrive.

To help direct water where it will be of most use, Vega suggests digging a small trench around the perimeter of the landscape as well as digging 4″ trenches around trees and filling them with mulch. If at any point, you find that you have trees that are getting in your way, or you would just like someone to take better care of the trees in your garden, then you might want to consider getting a tree surgeon to help you maintain your garden so that it looks perfect all year round.

Some suggested low-water trees that work well in Ventura: Peppermint Willow, Pink Melaleuca, Australian Willow, and Pink Mimosa.

Examples of low-water shrubs that provide a colorful backdrop include Texas Ranger, Neon Pink Callistemon, Pink Breath of Heaven, Buddleia, Protea & Grevillea.

Perennials: “Dusty Miller is a member of the daisy family and has silvery gray leaves that make for a dynamic backdrop. Everything looks terrific in front of it. Other colorful choices include Monkey Flower, Penstemon, Yarrow, Salvia, Lavender, Ivy Geranium, even herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

Ground cover: “To get the green lushness without the maintenance and water required, opt for green varieties like Korean Grass or Thyme; neither requires mowing.”

Grassroots partnership provides aid for those who don’t qualify for other programs

With the full effects of the Thomas Fire’s devastation still emerging, the Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF) has awarded a $500,000 grant to a community-based partnership providing relief and recovery support to undocumented immigrants.

The 805 UndocuFund is a partnership among Mixteco/ Indigenous Community Organizing Project (MICOP), Central Coast United for a Sustainable Economy (CA– USE), and Future Leaders of America (FLA). These grassroots organizations based in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties have a solid reputation, strong track record, and are familiar to and trusted by undocumented and mixed status households, said Vanessa Bechtel, CEO of the Ventura County Community Foundation.

To administer the 805 UndocuFund, the McCune Foundation and the Weingart Foundation provided grants for case management and leadership support. The Ventura County Community Foundation is providing fundraising and fund administrative support. The Santa Barbara Foundation and the Roy and Patricia Disney Family Foundation provided additional support for overhead costs.

With this latest grant from VCCF, total funds raised for the 805 UndocuFund reached just over $1.2 million. Now with only $30,000 remaining to be distributed, an additional $500,000 is necessary to assist qualified individuals already on a waiting list.

The 805 UndocuFund partnership is seeking volunteers to interview affected families and to help victims fill out eligibility paperwork, process applications and other functions. A volunteer application is online at bit.ly/undoc.

An estimated 126,000 undocumented immigrants live and work in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Undocumented immigrants predominantly work in sectors that have been or will be hard hit, including service, hospitality, child and elder care, day labor, and agriculture. Many have lost wages in the weeks following the Thomas Fire

The fund will assist individuals and families who have lost their homes, wages, or employment due to the Thomas Fire. Some of the costs associated with living expenses may include, but are not limited to, temporary housing, home repairs, rent and groceries.

CA– USE is a nonprofit community organization that works to advance social, economic and environmental justice for the people of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties through policy research, leadership development, organizing and advocacy.

Since the December 4 start of the Thomas Fire, VCCF has secured more than $2.8 million in contributions for support of relief and recovery efforts and has made grants totaling $2.15 million to nonprofit organizations engaged in front-line relief efforts. Currently, VCCF holds approximately $600,000 dedicated for mid- to long-term relief strategies in its Community Disaster Fund.

VCCF invests the charitable capital that drives the philanthropic engines of Ventura County. The foundation was established in 1987 and endeavors to build philanthropy in the region and to give generously for the well-being of all in Ventura County. VCCF invests in the future through scholarships, grant making and collaborative partnerships. For more information or to donate, visit www.vccf.org.

Rabbi Akiva to be discussed at Congregation Am HaYam

As a reminder that there have been times when modesty, humility and the idea that the power of the patriarch must be limited both by the written and the oral law, Congregation Am HaYam has selected for its Book Club discussion Rabbi Akiva, Sage of the Talmud, by Barry W. Holtz

The book recounts the life and teachings of Judaism’s first great rabbi who lived during the time of the destruction of the Second Temple and fought the Romans in 135 CE. Even those who have not read the book are invited to the discussion which will occur at the conclusion of the regular Sabbath Service Saturday, August 4t,h which begins at 10 am.

Congregation Am HaYam is located at 4839 Market Street, Suite C, Ventura. There is no fee, but visitors are asked to call 805 644-2899 to make a reservation.
