A ubiquitous pink peace sign in Ojai, created by Fern Barishman s neighbor Lou Mora, was given to her by friend Brian Berman. It replaces the peace sign in front of Barishman s home on Ojai s Ventura Street that was defaced with a spraypainted backward swastika, obscenity and racial epithet sometime overnight between Feb. 19 and Feb. 20.

Who ever spraypainted a backward swastika, racial epithet and obscenity on a pink peace sign on Ojai’s Ventura Street during the night from Feb. 19 to the morning of Feb. 20 probably had no idea that act of hate would prompt such an outpouring of love.
It is believed by police that Rivera s unanchored boat drifted away from the actress and her son while they were swimming in the lake. Venture County s Sheriff Bill Ayub said that Rivera mustered enough energy to get her son back on the boat but not enough to save herself. Her son described being helped into the boat by Naya, who boosted him onto the deck from behind, Ayub continued. [Her son] told investigators that he looked back and saw her disappear under the surface of the water. According to the initial 911 call and reports from local authorities, the little boy recalled taking a swim with his mum on Wednesday afternoon local time, before returning to the vessel alone.
