Every day for the past four decades, Roy Rodriguez has carried the heartbreak of his sister’s homicide. On a recent afternoon, the 64-year-old also carried a piece of paper, a marker and a bouquet of flowers. Every first responder dedicates life and limb to serving others. But some, said Ventura County Fire Chief Dustin Gardner, rise above expectations. Demolition has started on Camarillo’s vacant Kmart building. The work marks the beginning of a major remodel of the Central Plaza shopping center at Arneill Road and Ponderosa Drive. The city is one step closer to bridging a financing gap for an $18-million improvement project it hopes to get underway in 2025. Camarillo has hired a new lobbying firm, Sacramento-based Arc Strategies, to advocate on the city’s behalf for state legislation and funding. Some closure may finally be coming for the families and friends of two Ventura County women who police say were murdered more than 40 years ago. Alex Espinosa has weathered heat waves and the occasional rainstorm. April 30 will mark Jessica Almaguer’s fifth year participating in Autism Society of Ventura County’s Aut2Run. A homeless woman with her pet. A family struggling to afford groceries. A senior citizen in need of companionship.
