The parent of this cymbidium orchid was passed down to me from Julius Gius, editor (1960-1987) of what was once known as the Ventura Star-Free Press (now @vcstar ). Julius died in 1996, at the age of 84.
I know traditionally I only share news from Indiana, but I wanted to highlight the work of @vcstar reporters. My hometown paper. With the cost of living increases across the country, I wanted to share a story that showcases the worse case scenario. vcstar.com/in-depth/news/…
@vcsjoecurley @vcstar It’s a dope thing that you to raise awareness for the athletes around our county and build up the football reputation of Ventura county in general. We appreciate it
Finally got a piece done I’d been meaning to for years. @pixelsfoto did a fantastic framing job with this AVP article that ran in the @vcstar back in 2004. Newspaper was held on to by @SizzyBubbles since then. That initial hype was a big part of getting into the fandom for me.

This plaque arrived from @CNPAservices this morning. Added it to our collection. Proud of our @vcstar team for their tireless work to tell the stories of Ventura County.
Honored & humbled to receive my first journalism award, courtesy of the California News Publishers Association. Couldn't have done it without the help of my editor/colleague @GretchenWenner. So thrilled we brought 1st prize home to the @vcstar!

Full circle moment: I was born and raised in Ventura County, and I grew up reading @vcstar. Today, my story is on the front page *above* the fold! 🥳
My evening…
A brush fire that broke out near Lake Casitas Monday afternoon grew to 150 acres and prompted evacuation orders. By early evening, however, firefighters appeared to have gained the upper hand. See our gallery: vcstar.com/picture-galler…

Just heard the esteemed Chris Bowman (@BestBeatOnEarth) is returning to journalism soon as Managing Editor of @vcstar! SoCal is lucky to gain this media veteran—from decades of environmental reporting at @sacbee_news and to scribe work at @ucdavis more recently. Congrats, Chris!
Unfair letter! @Leung__Wendy is great!
Ouch! Letter from a reader: It took @GustavoArellano from @latimes to come to Oxnard, and write what you could’ve wrote ALL THIS TIME. Isn’t Oxnard your assignment? You must do better Wendy. I feel as though you’re out of touch with the people you are representing.
Go support @Goods4Greatness, a one-woman nonprofit started by @RPotkey, a familiar name to the @vcstar. Fun fact: Rhiannon and I grew up on hip hop and riding roller coasters.
