The Severe March 7, 2016 storm From Wendell Harden, Gitana ~

If you were awakened by the early storm on March 7, you may be interested in these photos. They depict the storm and a major “cell” as it progresses from West to East (L to R) and then directly over Conejo Mountain at Camarillo Springs. I follow such activity on my internet devices when we have impending issues of potential debris flow. Explanation follows : 4:50am - The first screenshot shows the storm as it approaches the Ventura/Oxnard coast. 5:10am - The second screenshot shows the storm cell has formed as shown in yellow, as it passes over the Camarillo airport. 5:20am - The last screenshot shows the intensified (yellow and orange) cell as it passes over the mountain and my house (blue dot).Note the time progression and intensity scale at the bottom of the photos. Experience has proven that radar display of arrival time and speed of movement are precise indicators of what to expect from the storm, as indicated in real time. Beware, it can be pretty scary.

From Drake VanCamp ~ I received a call from a female resident on Paquita Street who related how she had been sitting in her living room chair enjoying the afternoon, and noticed a large lizard running up her wall. Oh my!! She was wondering if I might pop by and see what could be done to encourage her uninvited guest to depart. Also, his “indoor” manners were dreadful what with the scurrying about the walls and floor. The resident had smartly placed cloth throws over & around the base of a floorlamp after he scampered underneath. Sure enough, while I was reaching under the cloths, out burst a sizable alligator lizard bent on overstaying his visit. Fortunately, he was so big, he was also slow enough to be able to be hand caught in mid-stride, and placed outside. So, just a word out to watch your open sliders and such as our weather again warms. But call me at 796-0398 if needed for a rescue. All our animals love us, but sometimes a little too much.

The Springs Book ClubJulie Baker

This month’s book is The Necklace by Cheryl Jarvis. It is the true story of 13 woman from Ventura who together buy a very expensive diamond necklace they could not afford alone! The necklace comes to mean different things for different women and the act of sharing it leads them to share much more of their lives! Please join us for a lively discussion led by Phylis Mandel on Wednesday, April 19 at 10:00. Newcomers are always welcome! Our book for May will be the Memory Keeper’s Daughter.

The Traveling SpringersRobbie Dornick

Unfortunately, we didn’t reach the minimum number so our April Laughlin trip was cancelled. Those who did sign up indicated that they REALLY want to go so we may try again for a trip sometime in the fall. No other trips planned for right now but I’m sure we’ll come up with at least one or two day trips. Standby... If questions, contact Robbie Dornick (987-5779), Lynn Lewis (484-3881), Judy Dale (487-0685) or Judy Hyman (388-0055).

If we are facing in the right direction,

all we have to do is keep on walking.

rather the judgment that something else

is more important than fear.
