Mask mandate has run its course | Thousand Oaks Acorn

EDITORIAL: "Businesses must eventually decide for themselves whether they want to require masks of vaccinated people, or anyone for that matter. A few will, most won’t. The same goes for individuals who are always free to wear their mask wherever they go."

To some, Ventura County Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin's decision to extend his mask mandate through at least mid-December was an early Christmas gift. To others, it was a Halloween prank

T.O. facing supervisor split | Thousand Oaks Acorn

“If you’re going to have two majority-minority districts . . . you’re going to have city splits. There’s no way around it. It’s determining which ones you don’t want to split, like an ordering of cities; picking your favorite child, to an extent on this, unfortunately.”

Ventura County is redrawing lines for supervisor districts and T.O. may be split into multiple districts in order to maximize the influence of minority voters.

Lines have been drawn in the sand . . . and in the hills, valleys and agricultural farming plains of Ventura County. As is the case every 10 years, the county, per the U.S. Constitution, must redraw l

Fence no match for this coyote
Fence no match for this coyote

A coyote is caught on a home security camera just after midnight Sept. 30 in Lynn Ranch neighborhood. The gate separates the family's backyard and a horse trail and nearby open space. Said the homeowners, Arvin and Connie Tunick: "Our 120-pound chocolate lab named Moose went ballistic and frightened the interloper. We never saw its exit." Another reminder to never let your pets out alone after dark, even in the backyard.

Residents join the Memorial Day Choir in singing “God Bless America” during today’s service at Pierce Brother Valley Oaks Cemetery. The Acorn adds its voice to the many today paying tribute to the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. We will never stop honoring your memory.

Instead of competing against other troops for scout skill supremacy, the 100th year anniversary Camporee at Three Falls in Frazier Park was cancelled. Apparently a semi truck caught fire at the Vista Del Lago exit and caught the hill next to it ablaze which triggered a five alarm fire. 20 Fire trucks, 4 helicopters and two tankers later, traffic was backed up for miles. With the potential fire danger and over 650 coming up from Ventura County, the decision was made to postpone Camporee once again and save everyone the additional hours in traffic. BIG thanks to the members of the Camporee Committee who put SOO much work into this event only to have it canceled by a truck on fire. We hope everyone got the word before heading out to Frazier Park and taking on the task of sitting in traffic. We will try this again in the Spring and hopefully by that time SoCal will have gotten some rain to mitigate these fire dangers. Enjoy the pics from the 5 freeway near Gorman.
Another Saturday morning in the nonprofit space at the Camarillo Farmers' Market giving away Advancing Parenting's bumper stickers. People wander over, start reading the stickers, and make comments. "I like #34!" "I like #51 too!" "When my kids were young I did this." "I was always reading to my kids." "#19 is so important!" "What a great idea this is!" "Here's the one I want." "These are all wonderful!" "Thank you for doing this!" If you know of any individuals, organizations, or businesses that might like to support Advancing Parenting please send them my way. We have requests from across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. for thousands of sets of the stickers, and sadly, no money to print them. The requests come from schools, child abuse prevention councils, family resource centers, children's advocacy groups, CASAs and GALs, and pediatricians. Our website is www.advancingparenting.org.
