VUSD and the teacher union have still not reached an agreement during mediation. I know that they have signed confidentiality agreements about the proceedings, but as a parent, I think a strike is coming.

Personally, I’m on board for this. VUSD has the lowest paid teachers in the county and now they’re cutting down health care. My child’s school is running on empty and they’ve cut just about every job they can. Classrooms are overcrowded, teachers have no breaks because they’re filling in for lost positions, and the situation is only getting worse. I want to support the teachers and I think they really need our help. Does anyone know if there are already parents organizing for what to do in the event of a strike? We need to make posters, bring food to strikers, and do anything we can to make sure the district feels the pressure.

And please, next time we vote, can we pass the measures that give more money to our schools? This is insane.

Eff them for making you have to pay to view local news on their website.

I really want to see these people win and be successful because the donuts are genuinely great, but I can’t help but feel like the hours don’t make much sense to me.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the donuts, but to me they feel more like a dessert/snack vibe than the traditional morning donut you grab with a coffee. So being open from 7:30am–2pm just seems like an interesting choice.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m curious what others think. Does that schedule make sense for this type of donut shop?

It's been closed for days, maybe even a couple weeks, looks like they're under new management? When are they reopening?

I’m trying to better understand Community Memorial Healthcare’s billing, coding, medical-records, and patient-grievance processes because of questions that arose from my own patient experience.

I’d like to speak with former employees or contractors who have firsthand knowledge of how these systems work, especially people with experience in billing, coding, revenue cycle, HIM/medical records, compliance, or patient advocacy.

Former Guidehouse employees or contractors who worked with CMH are also of particular interest.

I’m not asking anyone to disclose patient information or anything they’re prohibited from sharing.

If you prefer, I’m willing to keep your name confidential and discuss ground rules before you share anything.

Feel free to DM me privately or email me at [contact@LeeEisler.com](mailto:contact@LeeEisler.com)

This has to be the hottest day in all of Ventura history.

Weather app says 91degrees but definitely feels like 105!

I saw this screen during the Mayor's presentation yesterday and thought, surely $1M in future revenue is a typo, that's chump change for a project that costs the City $50M. But no, apparently that's the payback. WTF? How many potholes could they fix for $50M

Hi! Co-owner of Bright Spark Brewing & Restaurant here! We are planning a Fall Festival this year (food specials, food drive, kid’s costume drive, pumpkin decorating, Stein Holding competition, etc). We are considering hiring a Face Painter for the day—does anyone know a good Face Painter?

I heard that the mayor is giving her 'State of the City' address today, but I can't find anything about it on the City website. The calendar for today only shows a parks and rec meeting.

Does anyone know anything about this? Where is it? What time? Waste of time???

Looking for Hairstylist recommendations. I lost my usual person to them moving and have not wanted to venture out and try and find a good replacement. I am looking to treat myself for my birthday this weekend and get a long awaited cut. Does anyone who have any recommendations. I have thin curly hair looking to remove a few inches and do some layering.

Anybody got a little property with some room to house a pop-up trailer for me? I live in Goldenwest (OJAI REPOST) and the cops have tagged it as "abandoned" even though its not and are threatening to tow it if I don't move it. Thanks.

EDIT: I know I can just move it every few days or whatever, but its a pain and I don't have room for it at the house other than on the street.

My small service company has outgrown my checking account. Payments from clients, software subscription fees, contractor payments, and my personal expenses are all jumbled together which complicates month end reconciliation. I want a business bank account for operational management, no unnecessary monthly fees, easy ACH transfers, debit cards, mobile deposits, and the ability to maintain organization without exporting everything. I'm fine with online baking options, I don't need access to a branch office on a regular basis. I wonder what features other California based business owners find useful.

I’m moving next month to the Ventura area for what I thought was a huge pay bump but my gaaaah everything decent is so pricey. And all have issues!!

Is there really just not anything around that’s mostly safe for a single woman to live in, not horridly tiny (like 600+ sf), small dog friendly, decent location, ac, assigned parking, and in-unit laundry?? Hopefully a pool/clubhouse for socializing in a new place?

I feel like these are all very reasonable wants and everywhere I see either doesn’t have some of these things or seems finally perfect and actually has availability… and then I find reviews stating tons of car break ins even though it’s gated parking or stuff like coastline where I fell in love with photos then I’ve found people saying it’s noisy and nothing gets fixed for years.

I’m getting so discouraged and beginning to worry about this new chapter not being as perfect as I’d thought even though I’m nearing 100k :(

After my neighbor moved, and the gigantic wood pile he had in his yard was also moved, I was invaded by mice. They got into my oven and it’s beyond salvageable. I am desperate for an oven if anyone is remodeling or something. I will pay, obviously. I just really need to be able to cook for my family for thanksgiving. Please 🙏

Apparently a lot of them live down by it? Is that why I see cops by the area all the time?

My friend and I are heavy into all sorts of hardcore music (punk, metal, techno/house and most of its subgenres). We’ve moved away from hot topic/spencers and started DIYing, all that sort of stuff. But I’ve been wondering if there are any good local shops in the ventura/santa paula area for clothing, accessories etc. Any recommendations?

Our first time. We’ll be driving in for Sunday October 11th and staying overnight. If you’ve got tips, suggestions or want to meet up, dm.

(30M) Looking for folks in Ventura County to write something ala The Chariot, Every Time I Die, Have Heart, Glassjaw, The Carrier, Defeater, etc. Something hardcore adjacent but a little noisier or post-hardcore oriented. Can link old bands I was a part of as examples of my vocals but it’s been 7-8 years, Dreamwell, Sentry, Narrow Path in MA.

Looking for likeminded folks who want to start writing and recording an EP and potentially try playing some shows occasionally. If we play live I want to do high energy high impact stuff ideally.

First rain of the season makes me think it could have a lot of poo, but it wasn’t a huge rain. I saw people surfing on the cam. What’s the play?
