Sea turtle nesting on a Ventura beach marks a first. What we know

A rare sea turtle discovered nesting on San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura over the weekend marked a new first. Just weeks earlier, wildlife officials confirmed the first-ever recorded natural nesting for any sea turtle species on the U.S. West Coast. Both were olive ridley turtles . The turtles known for their heart-shaped shells normally stick to areas farther south in Mexico. But in September, the two turtles nested in Orange County. The first was spotted digging a nest and laying eggs near Seal Beach, officials said. Days later, a second turtle was discovered nesting near the Huntington Beach Pier, around 8 miles away. Experts said the exact reasons why the turtles showed up were unknown but called it likely that the warmer waters caused by a marine heat wave and El Niño were key factors. Navigational errors by the nomadic, highly migratory turtles also may have contributed, officials said. Now, a third sea turtle was found – this time, in a sandy spot in Ventura not far from the pier. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed the discovery as the first-ever recorded natural nesting in Ventura County and the northern most known olive ridley sea turtle nest. Turtle

Carpinteria inches closer to permanent dog park following Planning Commission approval

Plans for the long-awaited permanent version of the Monte Vista Dog Park were unanimously approved by the Carpinteria Planning Commission at the commission’s Nov. 2 meeting. The project entails replacing the temporary fencing with 5-foot-tall, black powder-coated aluminum fencing around the 15,000-square-foot park. The fence would include a puppy picket near the bottom of the fence, Planner Megan Musolf said, which keeps smaller dogs from slipping through the fence or digging under it.

On Stage: Rubicon presents ‘Ragtime’

From the vast beating heart of New York City comes a tale times three: Black, immigrant and wealthy white. This is the musical “Ragtime,” the four-time Tony Award-winning production based on E.L. Doctorow’s 1975 novel, whose ragtime, gospel, soul, burlesque and Roaring Twenties music soars off the stage of the Rubicon. It’s a huge production pared down to actors playing multiple roles and a small band carrying the musical load. Nonetheless, it bounces off the rafters with drama, joy and heartbreak.
