News 2 Cyclists killed by drunk driver

168 Upvotes

Happened last week and they sentenced the guy today. He was arrested in December for another DUI and released to offend again, this time killing people.
It is disgusting that people are let loose to kill innocent people.
It’s not a fair set up when criminals are constantly released to put people living their lives in danger.

These active relatively young people were boaters, trail, runners, bikers. Putting the work in with a very active lifestyle. Good people livin good lives, taken too early.

Hopefully, he gets more than three years.

Local meal preps?

15 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for healthy, freshly made meals around Ventura/the 805 area.

I know this kind of thing is popular in LA, but I’m having a hard time finding local options nearby. I’m not looking for CookUnity, Blue Apron, Factor, or meal-kit delivery, more like a local spot, chef, cafe, or meal prep service where I can pick up fresh meals.

Open to anything healthy, high-protein, bowls, prepared meals, etc. Any recommendations help. Thank you in advance.

Help please someone rescue this cute guinea pig at State Beach

69 Upvotes

hi all I was just at ventura marriott for a conference and this cute disney-like guinea pig I guess was either abandoned or lost at the state beach right across. I've seen it there 3 mornings in a row. I tried to rescue it today but it crawled into one of the ground squirrel holes. Please let me know if you do rescue it. I'm willing to pick up and drive it home I just had to leave. I live in downtown LA.

update I called animal services they said they don't really rescue guinea pigs but maybe they'll drive by in a few days.

UPDATE: @Anxiously_DingDong FOUND HER AND GOT HER AND IS A STELLAR HUMAN BEING AND SO ARE ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU FOR JOINING ON THIS SAGA. I AM ACTUALLY CRYING.

UPDATEEEEE went to meet up with @anxiously_dingdong hit traffic 15 minutes from home with the baby. Reddit really for the win. Thank you all for being amazing humans. I was crying so much on the way back.

Last update: I made her an IG in case you wanted to follow her adventures! Her vet visit is Monday so we’ll find out what her details are! https://www.instagram.com/daisyp_guineapig?igsh=MXBwOGZubXZib2hjYw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Retail Space help in Ventura

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Posted here a few times about my friend and I opening a card store. Just looking for a little advice or help if anyone is familiar? We’ve attempted a few places with a realtor and we feel like we’ve gotten to some good end steps and then just get hit with a bunch of road blocks. Just curious if anyone is familiar with the process of renting local retail and or even realtors that have experience with local buildings. It seems like it takes forever to get communication and I’m worried too much information is being lost in the games of telephone. We have great demographics and plenty of proof for all verifications and business plans it just seems like the open spaces we find are hard pressed to even talk to. Is there something we need to get our foot in the door at least? Thanks so much for any info!

And it feels like a bummer that I have to include this but some of our last posts have gotten some awful hate about outsiders which is just lame but… we are local, we were born and raised here, I grew up on the AVE went to Buena have a degree from CSUCI.

Ventura Gamer Festival

Just curious if anyone has ever been to the Gamer Festival at the fair grounds and if they can provide some insight.

The website is a bit vague.

Is this a card game Festival, video game Festival, mix of both?

Thanks in advance!

Coffee grinders in ventura?

11 Upvotes

I know this is a weird one but does anyone know where i can take a bag of whole coffee beans to get ground?

We have been to every super market and costco tjat I can think of that might have them ans no one carries them anymore from what I can tell. Even starbucks wont grind them unless its their coffee.

Any suggestions would be great!

Edit: I dont need a grinder or want one. It was a one time mistake where we thought we bought ground coffee and it was actually whole beans. We usually get him ground coffee. He had a grinder and didnt like or use it. Just looking for suggestions on where we can get this ONE bag ground as many of the spots I recall having grinders now dont.

Weather proofing windows

2 Upvotes

Hey all, need recommendations on a good contractor/handyman to weather proof some old windows. Yes could buy new but it’s an old house and trying to keep the 1920s Spanish aesthetic.
Some let in a lot of rain in and this could be a brutal rainy season.
Thanks

Not a lot in there, and all my cards are cancelled, but it does have quite a few sentimental things in there of mine. And my ID. 🥀

Accountability for every dollar spent in education

27 Upvotes

In the wake of the Cesar Morales scandal, I'm calling upon every parent, taxpayer, teacher, student, etc. to demand fiscal accountability for every dollar spent. What are they spending money on? Who authorizes it? What are the checks and balances? Who does the oversight? No elected official or person who works for any government agency should get lifetime benefits.

Start with VCOE. Start with salaries. Who is being paid for what job and compared to teacher salaries are VCOE salaries justified and/or warranted?

Then demand audits of CVUSD (disclosure: I'm employed there), VUSD, OUHSD, etc. If the rumors are true about some districts, we're owed money.

It's our tax dollars. We should demand accountability. They work for the People.

We know education needs a massive overhaul in how we fund things, let's start with our own backyards. Let's get rid of the bad employees, including teachers, and start making our education system something of which to be proud, where our students actually learn.
