Arterial roads item draws comments during consent agenda

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- City council members stopped the normally noncontroversial consent agenda items during its July 21 meeting to ask questions and take public comments on the Award Agreement A-8220 to Toro Enterprises, Inc. for arterial street resurfacing projects within the city.

The road conditions have been questioned, as Moving Oxnard Forward’s Aaron Starr and Alicia Percell have a ballot initiative on the ballot that ties Measure O funding to the condition of the roads. If passed, the city could lose Measure O funding, which benefits many areas in the city. n Roads, see page 6

ENTURA County faces a planned water reduction, by almost 55 gallons a day, per person, and the class is an effective method to be responsible and save water.

While most people stayed sheltered in their homes, dealing with the potential effects of Covid-19, other people donned their gloves and masks to get terrific information.

Attendees learned tips, techniques, and participated in a hands-on drip irrigation experience they can use on a home landscape. n Irrigation, see page 5

Council sends three Starr ballot initiatives to voters

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- After a long delay, three ballot initiatives brought forward by Aaron Starr and Alicia Percell from Moving Oxnard Forward were certified by the City and will be sent to the voters this Nov.3.

The City voted to sue Starr and Percell, January 15, over the three items the council rejected to discuss the measure.

The City asked for a judicial review of the items to examine their validity, then Covid-19 struck, which paralyzed the court.

Starr’s Attorneys filed a crosscomplaint against the City of Oxnard, June 10, to force the initiatives on the ballot this November.

Faced with a July 20 deadline to get the items in the voter information packet, Judge Walsh ordered the City to either adopt the initiatives or place them on the

ballot.

“Here, the City filed its declaratory relief action to test the validity of Mr. Starr’s initiatives,” Assistant City Attorney Ken Rozelle said. “That was an appropriate thing for the City to do if it doubted the validity of the initiatives. It also sought to set a briefing schedule with opposing counsel. This did not come to fruition, and then the Covid interruption shut everything down for close to three months. n Ballot, see page 7

Sher advocates for broadband

By Chris Frost more complicated because businesses. I heard in a news chris@tricountysentry.com you had to get them on that report that some of these Oxnard-- The Zoom interview between Ventura County District Five Supervisor Candidate and Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez and Karen Sher, President of the Oxnard Union High School District Board of Trustees, continues with homeless kids who need education and the challenge of the Google Classroom.

T

HE duo discussed challenges involved with distance learning, protecting the kids and teachers as we continue to battle Covid-19 and dealing with school closures and returning the kids to class when it is safe.

Sher said things don’t look good this fall for restarting school.

“On March 13, I said to the kids, I don’t know if I’ll see you again, and I want you to check Google Classroom every day,” Sher said. “That’s how we will communicate.

I already have that platform for those teachers who didn’t have a platform like that. It’s

platform, and then teach them how to use it. Some teachers are farther along in that sense of technology in their classroom.”

Sher added that teachers’ mental health is vital, and how it’s important for them to feel like they can do their jobs effectively.

“So we are treated like professionals,” she said sarcastically.

“We are professional educators, and I wish so much. I don’t see any professionals at the table looking to drive these decisions, except for the high school district, and I can’t say that’s not happening. I can say as a teacher; it’s not happening for me. It’s a struggle. I don’t know what it will look like, very often, in the absence of a parent, there is no greater advocate for a student than a teacher.” Ramirez said that she and Sher have spoken a lot about the county and state’s priorities, and both agree that education is vital to the economy.

“Sometimes, it seems like we don’t put our money where our mouths are,” Ramirez said. “In our city, we were struggling financially. We were about to get on top of it, then the pandemic came, and it’s tragic for people and small

companies get huge relief from the government. My tax dollars are going to companies that don’t need it. Meanwhile, we’re struggling here with our small businesses. I’m infuriated by that.”

Sher said the elementary school district implemented one-to-one devices several years ago but noted that students received an iPad, but it didn’t come with internet access.

“That was a huge issue,” she said. “It was an issue until the last day of school.

There were some kids that did not have a hotspot. Even if they did, the hotspot wasn’t strong enough, wherever they lived, to provide them with adequate internet access. If they have more than one person using that access, then it slows it down.”

The high school district had a greater challenge because they just started implementing their one-toone learning devices, so all of the schools weren’t one-toone, but they are now.

“It’s been a silver lining,” Sher said. “We got ahead of the game. Information Technology, that department was amazing. I don’t know how they took apart all the computer labs, they labeled

them, they identified all the laptops, and every single student was issued a laptop.

Not one laptop per family, there was one per student.

Every single student was issued a hotspot at that time too. Because we had been preparing, we didn’t have quite as much of a struggle as we did with the elementary school district getting hotspots.”

Sher asked Ramirez and every legislator in the state to be an advocate for broadband.

Sher said there is no other answer, and it becomes a matter of equity and access.

“Students need access to technology,” Sher said. “It doesn’t matter where they are going to school, whether it’s at home or in a classroom, all students need access to technology. Every person needs access to technology.

That’s one thing I am begging for when you talk to the governor.

Superintendent Thurman has been amazing.

He’s asked for public and private partnerships, and he’s asked people to donate their old laptops and technologies.

He has committees and empowered teachers.”

Ramirez mentioned President Trump, his request to open schools or lose funding, and Sher said that some people like using a bullying tactic to push their point.

“I think, in this instance, that is exactly what is happening,” Sher said. “To threaten to withhold funding for millions of children who rely on public schools for healthcare, mental health, and special needs; that is the worst thing you can do to push a political message.

Shame on anyone who does that.”

With all that said, she said there is a misconception about how much the federal government gives schools.

“I could be wrong, but I think the number is around 8 percent,” she said. “In the State of California, we’re the fifth-largest economy in the world, either 40 or 60 percent of our budget goes to public education. Somehow, we’re 42nd with regards to how well we’re doing. We’re like 42nd in the United States.”

She added that the special needs population in the

Oxnard Union High School District has an $8 million unfunded liability for a ferally mandated program.

“What could a school district do with $8 million,” she asked. “Betsy DeVos is giving money to private schools, and those tax dollars should be given to schools with special needs socioeconomically disadvantaged kids and foster youth. That $8 million could do a lot.”

The food service program will continue in Oxnard.

“God bless those workers,” Sher said. “It’s hard not to get emotional about that, because I know those are my students and my kids that are being fed.

We have continued to provide food, and we will continue to provide food. I did hear that in the State of California, the food issue alone has cost California schools $4 billion.

We talk about the need for schools and communities first, which is Prop 15, which is on the ballot in November.

That evens the playing field with what private citizens pay in their property taxes, and what businesses pay in their property taxes.”

If Prop 15 passes, she said that it would raise $11 billion for the school system in California.

“We’re counting on the voters to support public education because we support everybody,” Sher said.

This story will conclude on July 30.

Martinez calls for qualified professionals to teach Implicit bias and cultural proficiency

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry. com Oxnard-- The virtual discussion about racism and the distrust of police continues with former Oxnard Police Officer Randy Latimer calling for a lot of additional training for officers so that they can respond to calls for service appropriately.

training and educating officers on de-escalating, and in some situations, not having the officers go out there. Once we see them, we go into a mode.

It’s humanistic of anyone to go into a mode once they see an officer. What we found, in some cases, when an officer is on the outskirts, the situation changes. When they talk about defunding, not necessarily the police department, but reallocating the funds where you can have other first responders assist with the police department on these calls.”

Former Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe fatally shot Rayshard Brooks.

Whitney suggested more and better discussion on the history of race relations, police brutality, police legitimacy, and procedural justice.

“Nobody comes to us at the police department with a good base of understanding about that,” he said. “I will put out a challenge and talk to the local colleges where there is a two or four-year degree. We need more instruction on that. We are also going to take the initiative, and as Cynthia said, our training budget is super low. It’s a couple of hundred dollars per year.

Hatcher-Crawford said there is no training around the history of race relations and procedural justice.

“That’s huge,” she said.

“If people should have an understanding of what they’re supposed to be doing, maybe there won’t be so much confusion, and we won’t have as many issues as we do.”

Retired Ventura County Probation Officer Peter Martinez said every year; they had to go through POST Training.

“Oftentimes, they provided training on diversity, and I was always the first to sign up because I had an interest in the topic,” he said. “Every class I attended had one thing in common. It was piss-poor bad training. It’s important to provide training, but it’s also important to provide good training. I recommend that you read this book, called White Fragility, this sets the foundation folks.”

Additionally, Martinez said the teachers must be qualified to educate people on the topic.

“Is there anyone here who denies that racial profiles exist,” he said. “If you believe racial profiling does not exist, please raise your hand. There is one instructor at Ventura College, a Criminal Justice instructor, who teaches a community relations class, and he tells the students that racial profiling does not exist. Then they come to me and tell me, Mr. Martinez, soand-so, says that racial profiling does not exist. Of course, I have to address that.”

Implicit bias and cultural proficiency, he said, should be part of every criminal justice curriculum.

“It’s an important topic, so it has to be included,” he said. “Deescalation training is important, but I think it’s more important to prevent the situation from escalating in the first place. Once it starts to escalate, it is tough to de-escalate. With the proper cultural proficiency training, you can prevent it from escalating in the first place. This is why I tell my students that the minute you put on that uniform, and the person sees you approaching, how they perceive you is going to make a difference, whether the matter tenses up or not. If it starts to escalate, its downhill from there.”

The city had suspended street sweeping and parking tickets because of Covid-19, as people were forced to stay home.

“Unfortunately, the Covid-19 numbers for our county continue to inch back up,” Nguyen said. “We had intended to resume street sweeping and ticketing this week. I have, along with the executive team, made the decision to continue the suspension of street sweeping and ticketing until further notice. We’ll see where this pandemic heads in the future.

We are not going to be ticketing for street parking, and unfortunately, we won’t be doing regular street sweeping. We will try our best to do this when it is physically possible.

Street sweeping is something that we are mandated to do to keep the storm drains clean. When you’re not sweeping the streets regularly, as we are supposed to, things get into the storm drain system. We are making an effort to clean the catch basins out more frequently. There are consequences to this suspension, but given the pandemic, we believe it’s the right thing to continue.”

He reminded the council that the moratorium on evictions is still in effect in California.

“It continues to be in place until the end of September,” he said. “We’ll wait to hear what the state does as we get close to the end of September.”

The city is keeping its late fees stopped for late utility payments, he said, nor will they shut off service because of missed payments due to Covid-19.

“We don’t have counter service for utility payments, but we do have the boxes outside,” he said. “There are other ways that people can pay.

Online, on the phone, or at 7-11 stores where you can make cash payments.

You can also pay by mail. We encourage people to pay their utility bills on time, but if you can’t pay due to Covid-19, we will not penalize you or shut off your Oxnard-provided utilities.”

There is a city-wide neighborhood pride cleanup slated for August 7-9.

“They’re advertising the event on Facebook,” Nguyen said.

For more information, call 702460-8224.

“This is a resident-driven event,” he said. “The city will support them, and I will ask the executive team and council to volunteer that weekend.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2020

Irrigation continued from page 1

The class, taught by the Master Gardeners of Ventura County and sponsored by the Calleguas Municipal Water District, gave people real-life practical experience creating a functional drip system to keep a garden looking vibrant. The group has seen an attendance drop because of Covid-19 but is fighting back and holding class via Zoom.

Master Gardener Kathleen Doran led the discussion and started with raising awareness about the Asian Citricillade bug and how it affects citrus trees.

“The bug itself is not the issue; it’s the virus that comes with it,” she said.

What it does is bring the virus into the plant, and there is no cure. There is a cure on the horizon, but it is not entirely proven or available yet.”

The virus has infiltrated Ventura County.

“Once the tree gets it, it’s going to die,” she said. “There is no way to rescue that tree. The only thing you can do is pull it up and send it off.”

Dorant said the essence of proper irrigation is putting the right amount of water in the right place.

She asked everyone if they liked saving money, and everyone did, and whether they liked weeding, and nobody did.

“If you’re not throwing water all over the place, an amazing thing happens,” she said. “You’re not growing weeds all over the place.

You can’t stop the rain, but in your garden, you can dramatically stop the weeding if you only water what needs to be watered and not water everywhere else. That, to me, is the best part.”

When it comes to drip irrigation, she outlined things that are excellent and frustrating things, as

well, which no one can do anything about because they’re part of industry standards.

“Pipe thread and hose thread are two totally different things,” she said. “You can screw something that has pipe thread onto something that’s got hose thread. It will go on, but it will always leak.”

She likened it to putting on the lid of a jar, but you’re not quite getting it right.

“Pipe thread and hose thread are never going to go together,” she said. “Pipe thread is narrower, and the little valleys and hills are closer together. For the hose thread, they’re a little wider apart.

Generally, the hose thread side will be shorter. Sometimes, the pipe side will be tapered, but not always.”

Doran advised the group to take the time to familiarize themselves with the difference.

“On the receiving end, if it’s hose thread, it should have a socket in there,” she said. “Not always, because people go to these stores and they need a gasket, a socket gasket for their hose, and they’ll take it out and out in their pocket rather than buy one, and they’ll go home and fix the drip situation on their faucet.”

Poly hose is another potential issue.

“It’s like a freeway to transport most of your materials from one place to another,” she said. “We call it half-inch, but unfortunately, halfinch to me is something different to somebody else. In that same halfinch, you can have several different measures. You can have .62, .70, .71, all made by the same company.

You’ll go to a big box store and pick up a roll of that poly hose, and it will

be .70. The next time you pick it up, it will be .71. It looks the same, so you have to read.”

She noted that this is where it pays to put that information into your phone when you pick your size. If you choose to skip that step, she advises a lot of gas in your car for all the extra trips you’ll make.

“The connections that go with it are also size-related,” she said.

There is now a universal workaround, she said, and they can manage all three sizes with a screwon.

“You screw it all the way back, push it on, screw it down, and it will hang onto it,” she said. “You can manage those three sizes. There are different versions of it, and there is also a universal compression fitting. That will help you avoid this, but not all stores carry these. The universals, the ones that twist on and off, that’s your best bet.”

Understanding your needs is another essential element of drip irrigation. Doran noted that Thousand Oaks has clay soil, while Oxnard’s soil is mostly sand, like in the riverbed.

“Water behaves differently in the sand,” she said. “It’s like an hourglass and goes straight down pretty quickly. With clay, when you put the water on, the first thing it’s going to do is go sideways. We have a lot of people in Thousand Oaks, and when you turn on your sprinkler, the water is doing that runoff thing, and they tell you that you can’t have any runoff. There is a water phobia that comes from dry soil. It will send the water off before it sinks.”

With sand, she said you water more often for a shorter time. That water will go center down.

Residents with sandy soil will put their emitters closer together, and you’ll water more often.

“Out where we’re from, we can put our emitters further apart because we have clay soil,” she said. “We are going to water longer. Water doesn’t go down in clay on its own. The water will drive more water down. What’s amazing is that it’s also going to hold that water a little longer, so I can water my roses every three weeks. It’s great. I water long, low, and slow, and it stays down.”

One of the best things that Doran likes about gardening is the ability to change your mind a lot.

“You can do one thing one time, and then completely rip it out and do something else,” she said. “I like being able to change my mind. Unfortunately, with irrigation, you want to have a plan. You can plan for those changes. As you go through and

change things to drip irrigation, you may already have risers, and those are assets. You may not utilize them right now, but you may want them in the future. For right now, you can cap them off and tuck them under some mulch. In the future, you may want to use it, and you think where the heck is it? Know where those assets are, because you may have a reason to bring another one of those online and put it back into service later on.”

It’s important to remember that a pipe sticking out is a trip hazard, so it’s important to cap it and put it under the mulch.

“If you don’t remember where it is, then it becomes a problem,” she said.

Having a good plan also helps address the plants’ needs. Most plants come with tags now that will advise medium water to make it thrive.

“Medium water doesn’t equate to two gallons a week,” she said. “It equates to how much water that plant needs in your soil, at your home, with your weather, in your zone. Are you in zone one or 10?

Everything is dependant on your exact location, soil, wind pattern, and weather patterns. Those are guidelines. If you know what your plants need, you pay attention to what they are telling you once you get them into the ground. If they’re wilting, they probably want more water. If they’re falling over dead, you probably have other problems.”

The best part of the program is the ability to convert any existing system to a drip system, as all you need is a water source.

“I don’t care if that water source is a five-gallon jug if it is suspended somewhere,” she said. “You use what is necessary to move that water. It could be a hose. It could be your existing sprinkler system.

There is nothing wrong with a regular PVC sprinkler system if its appropriate for what you’re doing.

It might be. We talk about changing them is because regular sprinkler systems use gallons per minute.

Drip irrigation is gallons per hour.”

As you start an irrigation system, the law requires you to install a backflow preventer. If you use the faucet that sits on the backside of your garage, and the same water pipe feeds your water heater. If you add irrigation, there is a thing that will vacuum it back up into your house water. She has a brass backflow preventer that shoots the water out and not inside.

“If you’ve been out there using your Miracle Grow and you are watering and drop your hose onto the ground, it will suck up what is available,” she said. “Organic water is great, but I don’t want it growing in my drinking water. A backflow preventer will stop that.”

She starts with one water source, and then she adds manifolds, or splitters, and goes crazy.

“You can split those out and put timers on all of it,” she said.

“You can get as crazy as you want, starting with just one hose.”

Doran said a timer will stop accidents that occur when you turn on the water, get distracted, and then flood the yard.

“Twice a year, you do have to replace the battery,” she said. “You should not need to change it more than twice a year. However, use a quality battery.”

“Unfortunately, when we had the training for the irrigation, I had the flu,” she said. “I was still in class, but I couldn’t focus on this. I’m here trying to relearn that particular portion of the class today.”

Willer-Allred said nowadays; people are growing a lot of vegetables and doing a lot of gardening because of the quarantine and hand-watering, which includes herself.

“Sometimes, you are watering a lot, and this saves time and issues,” she said. “This is an important skill.

Especially if you get into vegetable gardening.”

After the event, Doran said she got into the master gardening program because she wanted to pursue her interest correctly.

“Everything we do here has to be science-based,” she said. “It gives me the opportunity to access the advanced learning we’ve got.

Learning about Citricillade, and there is a possibility of recovery for our citrus industry is fascinating.

We have incredible access to that through our continuing education.”

She also enjoys meeting people and sharing incredible information that is around them.

“It’s something we’re doing anyway, and it makes sense to apply this in a formal format,” Doran said.

As the state looks to use less water, using drip irrigation is a smart choice that will conserve the resource.

“There will be more water available to increase the development, in terms of population,” she said. “There are a lot of people who use it but don’t use it properly. When you run your irrigation, and you do have water runoff, they had to say that’s against the law. There are small and simple adjustments that each of us can make to conserve that water.”

Pubic Works Director Rosemarie Gaglione told the council that they moved $400,000 from the Rice Avenue paving project to Rose Avenue.

The money got moved through a budget adjustment, but the Rice Avenue project remained whole and created no negative impact.

“We thought we would include that information,” she said.

During Council comments, Bert Perello said people who drive around the city get a feeling that nothing is getting done, but that is wrong.

“The project on Lantana and Gonzales, there is construction going on there,” he said. “Now, coming to the council meeting, in front of the old St. John’s Hospital, there is construction going on there. There was work on C Street the other day and today. Item number seven, for people who don’t see the staff report, I think it would be beneficial for residents to hear from public works so they can hear what we are approving and what areas and streets will be worked on.

There is a tremendous amount of work going on and money spent on behalf of the city’s residents.”

Mayor Tim Flynn interjected that repaving streets are an ongoing project.

“It’s important to note that it’s specific to these arterial streets,” he said. “The funding we get for these arterials, Rose, Rice, Oxnard Boulevard, and Vineyard, those larger arterial roads, comes from the federal government and our representative is Councilman MacDonald. I get a lot of complaints and questions about those arterials, and we use federal funds to pave these roads.

We are making tremendous progress on the city streets, and we have a lot more challenges to go.”

During Public Comments, Pat Brown asked why the street resurfacing is stopping on Rose and not being increased to include Rice Avenue. She pointed out that Sakioka Farms is being developed and doesn’t feel like people will want to be there if the road is in such bad condition.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2020

NEWS Letter to the editor Dear Editor, You may remember that last year we collected enough signatures to qualify five Oxnard initiatives for the ballot.

In response, the Oxnard City Council only followed the law on one of those five initiatives, placing our Permit Simplicity measure on the November ballot.

For three others, the Oxnard City Council refused to comply with the law and instead filed a lawsuit against us to keep those measures off the ballot.

They lost!

On Wednesday, July 15, the Ventura County Superior Court ordered the Oxnard City Council to follow the law and put three of our initiatives onto the November election ballot to let voters decide.

Giving the public barely 24 hours of notice, the City announced a special meeting July 17 at 1 p.m.

– yep, middle of the workday to minimize public participation! – for the stated purpose of complying with the court’s order.

Here are the subjects over which

the Oxnard City Council sued to prevent you from being able to vote on them: • Road Repairs – Requires city hall to improve city streets and alleys over time as a condition for continued collection of “Measure O” sales tax. They’ll only continue to get paid if they do the work!

• Transparency – Makes the elected City Treasurer accountable for the city’s financial functions; requires online posting of city expenditures and their supporting documents; requires the finance department to hire a certified

public accountant and publish monthly financial statements; and requires the publishing of performance measurements for city departments.

• Open Meetings – Requires city council and other city legislative bodies meet no earlier than 5 p.m. (with a few exceptions); requires training on the use of Robert’s Rules to enable better run meetings; requires advance videotaping of staff presentations to allow more time for public comments; and expands the right of the public to comment

on agenda items and make use of video presentations.

For the fifth measure, strict Term Limits, the Oxnard City Council engaged in gamesmanship to kill it, and we continue to seek a judicial order to place that on the November ballot, as well.

Given their history, it wouldn’t surprise us to see more shenanigans from today’s council’s meeting ...

Time will tell ...

Aaron Starr starr@movingoxnardforward.org 805-804-9101

Ballot continued from page 1

At this point, with a July 20 deadline to have arguments provided to the Registrar of Voters for inclusion in the voter information packet, time had effectively run out for a comprehensive preelection review of the Starr sponsored initiatives.”

Walsh did not decide on the matter, Rozelle said, and if they passed, there would be time to look at their validity.

The three resolutions include: 1. “Expansion Of Duties of Elected City Treasurer

By Appointing the City Treasurer as Director of Finance and Giving the City Treasurer Additional Duties, pursuant to that New Role: Authority Over City’s Finance Department; Selection and Oversight of Internal Auditor; Establishment, Preparation and Submittal of Monthly Financial Reports; Establishment, Preparation and Submittal of Monthly Performance Measurements for City Departments; and Preparation and Submittal of Annual City Budget;” 2. “Early Termination of Measure O Sales Tax If Specific Pavement Standards For City Streets and Alleys Are Not Met; Extension Of Measure O Sales Tax For Additional Five Year Periods If Specific Pavement Standards Are Met.” 3. “New Requirements Regarding the way in which City Council Meetings, Council Committees, and Other City Legislative Bodies Are Run.” Rozelle said the city changed the language for

the Measure O question to mandate revisions to Measure O, adopted by voters in 2008. “The new language ends Measure O funding early for city services such as fire, emergency response, street paving, pothole repair, youth recreation, after school and anti-gang prevention programs, parks, open space preservation, and senior services. This will happen if certain standards for streets and alleys are not met.”

During public comments, Gabe Tehran said whether or not he agrees with the ballot measures, if someone goes through the process to get the initiatives completed, the voters should decide.

“I would like to see whether the discussion goes around the ballot language that’s going to be in front of the voters,” he said.

“There was some discussion amongst the public. I am confused, as well, about what’s going to go before the voters.”

He called the pavement condition index set in the initiative a mathematic impossibility.

“Unless we find other sources of funding,” he said.

“That’s a whole different conversation.”

George Miller said he is disappointed, but not surprised, by the city’s illegal, incompetent and immoral antics surrounding the ballot initiatives.

“With your atrocious handling of the Moving Oxnard Forward ballot initiatives,” he said. “Even a marginally competent, city attorney, city manager,

and council would know that once a ballot initiative has signatures certified, it must be put on the ballot or approved by the council.

Any challenges are to be made after it passes if it passes. You stalled, lied, and litigated to keep from doing the legal thing. Judge Walsh had to remind you of that and spank you. Now, you are again attempting to break the law by rewriting the initiative summaries in a prejudicial fashion. Stop your law-breaking behavior.

Sit down and develop fair language with the initiator.

The proper place for your dissent is in your council arguments, not in the ballot language.

Alicia Percell said election code 13119 paragraph C requires that “the statement of measure shall be a true impartial synopsis of the purpose of the proposed measure and shall be in a language that is neither argumentative nor create prejudice for or against the measure,” she said. “As the council, you are responsible for complying with that law when you vote today. The language this staff proposed in section eight of these resolutions in January wasn’t great, but it was tolerable.

Now the judge has ordered the council to place these measures on the ballot.”

She noted that the language in the resolution doesn’t match what Mayor Tim Flynn read on the agenda item.

“Since January, your staff has changed the ballot questions, so they egregiously

don’t comply with the election code,” Percell said.

“They now put the council in the position of exposing the city to legal risk if you approve the new questions.

The ballot questions posed today contain elements that are not true that are not impartial and are prejudicial.

Certainly, the failure to mention the contingency of performance for street repairs was a serious problem. It’s also a problem that you act like Measure O is tied to a list of subjects, although it’s a general tax, you act like it’s a special tax.

There are untrue elements in the other two, as well.”

The council approved the item, but they expressed their displeasure over the resolutions. The consensus between council members was their hands are tied and had to approve the measures.

Council members urge residents to examine the City’s 9212 report compiled

by Russ Branson Associates, which paints a dim picture for the city government if the items pass.

“We don’t have a lot of good options here,” Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said. “Our city is in a precarious situation financially. It’s important for our city residents and our voters to understand what they are voting for or against. Read the report from January 15 about what the impact would be if these measures were adopted. Be an informed resident. Don’t take anyone’s word for it.

That’s your obligation as a voter and resident.”

She urges the public not to believe these are good measures.

“They are not,” Ramirez said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald wanted to know how many words can be placed onto a ballot question.

Rozelle said the city has a 75-word limit.

“Our quandary is we have to reflect the question of the ballot initiative accurately, but we can only do it in 75 words,” he said. “That can be a daunting challenge, I imagine.”

He’s not convinced the initiatives are good for the city.

“I encourage everyone to look at the 9212 reports,” he said. “I think we’ve asked the city staff to make them available online.

We’re left with not much of an alternative.”

Councilman Bert Perello asked if the city or initiative writer creates the ballot language.

“There are different elements before you,” Rozelle said. “One of the speakers mentioned the titles of the measures spoken by the mayor as part of his presentation. The city attorney’s office drafts the ballot titles. Those were drafted back in April 2019, and they had to be finalized before Mr. Starr could circulate the ballot measures.

For the ballot questions, we did one draft in January for the 9212 reports. The council did not vote on those questions after they were finalized.”

Perello thinks there are

people in Oxnard who believe the city is skewing these questions for a specific reason.

“I don’t think they are,” he said. “I believe they are much more open and transparent when the circulators did the petitions. We don’t have an option, and they’ve got to go on the ballot.”

Councilman Oscar Madrigal reiterated his position from January and said that Starr and Percell got the appropriate signatures, and the voters should decide.

Council Member Vianey Lopez agrees with the council.

“I don’t agree with the measures,” she said. “It needs to go on the ballot. I do hope our public is well informed on both sides before they make a decision.”

Councilwoman Gabriela Basua reiterated her stance from January when she called the initiatives the most reckless measures she’s seen.

“I stand by my words,” she said. “We don’t have a choice.

We’ll put this on the ballot and allow the voters to cast their votes.”

Flynn echoed Rozelle’s comments about the questions.

“There was insufficient time for Judge Walsh to place these on the ballot because there is insufficient time for him to make a decision before July 20 about the merits of why the city did not want these to go on the ballot,” he said. “I support and reaffirm the comments the council members said.

The public needs to be informed.”

SENIORS 805 Stretching Tips to Help Seniors Gain Flexibility and Reduce Pain leg cramps too.

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer some good stretching tips for seniors who are staying home during the pandemic? I’ve gotten so stiff and achy in recent years that I have a hard time doing basic activities like bending over to tie my shoes.

Stiff as a Board Dear Stiff, Of all possible exercises, stretching tends to be the most neglected, yet nothing is more vital to keeping an aging body limber and injury free.

As we age, our muscles naturally lose their elasticity if you’re not

active, which can make common day-to-day activities like reaching down to tie your shoes or looking over your shoulder to back your car out of the driveway, difficult.

But the good news is, by incorporating some simple stretching exercises into your routine (at least three times a week) you can greatly improve your flexibility, as well as enhance your balance, posture and circulation, relieve pain and stress, and prevent injuries. In addition, stretching is also important as a warm-up and cool-down for more vigorous activities, and leg stretching is an excellent way to prevent nighttime

Simple Stretches Stretching exercises should focus on the muscles in your neck, shoulders, arms, chest, back, hips, thighs, hamstrings and calves. If you’ve had hip or back surgery, you should talk to your doctor before doing lower-back flexibility exercises.

While stretching, it’s very important to listen to your body.

You want to stretch each muscle group to the point where the muscle feels tight. If it hurts, you’ve gone too far. Back off to the point where you don’t feel any pain, then hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds. Relax, then repeat it three to five times, trying to stretch a little farther, but don’t bounce.

Bouncing greatly increases your chance of injury.

It’s also a good idea to warm up a little before you start stretching

by walking in place and pumping your arms. And remember to breathe when you stretch. Also, keep in mind that muscles that have not been stretched in a while take time to regain their flexibility.

So be patient and go slow.

If you don’t have much experience with stretching, the National Institute on Aging offers a free guide that provides illustrated examples of flexibility exercises to help you get started. Go to order. nia.nih.gov, and type in “Exercise & Physical Activity: Your Everyday Guide from The National Institute on Aging” to view it online.

There are also senior fitness programs, like SilverSneakers (silversneakers.com) and Silver&Fit (silverandfit.com), that are currently offering online flexibility and balance videos that can guide you through a series of stretching exercises you can do at home during the pandemic.

There are also a wide variety of stretching exercise DVDs or videos you could purchase at sites like CollageVideo.com or Amazon. com.

Yoga and Tai Chi Another great way to improve your flexibility is through gentle yoga or chair yoga. In chair yoga you replace the yoga mat with a chair where most poses can be duplicated. This is much easier on tight, inflexible muscles. Tai chi and qi gong are also great exercise options for improving balance and flexibility.

To get started, there are many DVDs and videos that offer instructions and routines for seniors you can do at home. The YMCA has also launched a new series of free, online health and fitness videos at YMCA360.org that includes gentle yoga, chair yoga and tai chi videos.

Feds to send COVID tests to nursing homes, but can California really use them?

BY BARBARA FEDER OSTROV

The Law Office of

State health officials were caught off guard by the federal government’s plan, as the tests are less accurate and may be of limited use in California’s nursing homes.

Six months into the coronavirus pandemic, the federal government this week announced it would send COVID-19 rapid testing kits to the nation’s more than 15,000 skilled nursing facilities, starting as early as next week.

But the kits may be of limited use in California because the state’s public health agency

“ Voted Best Attorneys in Ventura County by clients and peers in the Ventura County Business digest Publication”

currently requires nursing homes to use more sensitive tests than the federal kits offer.

That disconnect – between what federal officials offer and what California nursing homes actually need right now – is the latest example of what many critics have characterized as a top-down, disastrous federal response hampered by lack of communication with states. Other states requiring monthly or weekly COVID-19 testing in nursing homes, including Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, may face the same problem.

caught off guard by the announcement, as were those in other states. They had no answers this week for nursing home administrators who asked if they could use the new testing kits for surveillance testing. The California Department of Public Health on Friday told CalMatters in an emailed statement that it was aware of the federal test kits but sidestepped the question of whether it would change its rules so that nursing homes could use the type of tests in the federal kits.

The kits, which include a tabletop testing machine and materials for 400 initial tests, use antigen tests designed to screen for disease rather than conclusively diagnose it. A machine can run as many as 20 tests in an hour, and each test after the first free 400 tests would cost the home about $25.

The antigen tests look for proteins from the virus, rather than molecular diagnostic tests that detect the virus’ genetic material. Antigen tests are faster and cheaper but less reliable than the more sensitive diagnostic test, which can range from $100 to $150 per test. Although the diagnostic tests now are more available than they were earlier in n COVID, see page 9

SENIORS 805 If I had a nickel for every blunder I made…

Dr. James L. Snyder I am not very agile when it comes to finances. Do not get me wrong, I know how to spend money; it is just that I do not know how to save money. Somewhere I lost my little piggy bank.

One of my father’s favorite quotes was, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” It never made sense to me, but my father knew how to save money. On the other side, he was not very agile when it came to spending money especially on me.

My whole life has never been focused on making money. For me, the outdoor was busier than the indoor with money. I must confess my wife and I have struggled throughout our life on the financial side. On the relational side, we have done wonderfully; at least that is my impression.

I know some marriages seem to be based upon finances, even though they will not admit it. Their finances determine how successful they really are in their mind.

That has not been the case with us.

When the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I married almost half a century ago, it had nothing to do with how much money we had. We both were working at the time, and together we could go out for dinner once a month. That seemed to be a very important time even though expensive.

The focus of our life together was not on how much money we can make and save. Our life’s focus had to do with our relationship, one with another, and with God. We were a

spiritual couple and tried to serve God as faithfully as we could.

The other night the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I enjoyed a quiet evening together drinking coffee and talking about this and that, more about that than this.

Then we started to play her favorite game: Do You Remember?

If statistics are correct, she remembers more than I do.

When she poses a Do You Remember question, I can never

remember. Several times, I had some remembrance but never enough to qualify as an answer.

When I pose a Do You Remember question, she remembers it to the very last detail. Details that I do not remember.

I have concluded and do not let this get around, but I think her remembering things is a complete hoax. I think she is making up things that she says she remembers just to trick me. My problem is, I cannot prove it.

Her one trick question is, “Do you remember when we first met?”

I have yet to get this question right.

Every time she asked, it is always a different answer. If I challenge the answer, I look bad. Of course, I look bad as it is with questions like this.

When we ran out of energy for this game, we just sat there and watched a little TV. When the next segment of commercials came, she said something rather curious.

“If we had a nickel,” she said, looking at me, “for every mistake you made, we would be millionaires.”

Then she continued, “Do you remember the first mistake you ever made?”

Of course, I could think of several mistakes I made, one being getting involved with this kind of a game.

However, for the life of me, I could never think of the first mistake I have ever made.

For example, did I make that first mistake before I met her or after I met her?

I was tempted to say that my first mistake was getting involved in silly games like this, but I value my life too much.

This could be a trick. If I mentioned my first mistake, maybe it would be something she did not know before and now she does. How would that work out?

We both laughed and went back to watching TV. I just could not get away from that question. If I really had a nickel for every mistake I made I am sure I would be a wealthy man. I just wonder how in the world I could

nursing facilities to conduct baseline COVID-19 testing of every resident and worker in June and then continue regular surveillance testing after that. The goal: to eliminate the devastating outbreaks

that to date have sickened more than 16,000 elderly or medically frail residents and killed nearly 2,900.

About 81 percent of nursing homes have completed their baseline testing as of this week, according to

a CalMatters analysis.

Nursing homes must use tests that offer at least 95 percent sensitivity, meaning that the tests can’t miss more than 5 percent of people that have the disease. But the

collect on something like that.

Then there is the question as to your definition of a mistake. I am sure my definition would be quite different from my wife’s. Everybody has their own definition of these things.

Even thinking about that a little bit, I began remembering some mistakes that cost me money. Things I thought would turn out great only turned out dead in the water.

Perhaps the biggest mistake anybody could make is believing that they do not make mistakes.

Sometimes it takes a married person to realize what mistakes really are.

And if you think you do not make a mistake, then that is a big mistake, and you will pay dearly for that.

If she had asked me what my first good choice was, I would have told her it was her. My first mistake would have been, not meeting her at all.

I remembered a very important verse of Scripture. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:8-9).

It is not my mistakes but how I deal with them that makes all the difference in the world.

antigen tests offered by the federal government only offer about 80 percent sensitivity.

So unless state officials change the rules, California’s skilled nursing facilities can’t use the federal kits to screen their residents. The state’s nursing home industry group has asked the public health agency for more clarification but had received no answer by Friday, according to Craig Cornett, CEO and president of the California Health Facilities Association.

In the meantime, California nursing homes are still having problems getting lab results back quickly for the testing they’re required to do. The facilities must routinely test all workers at least once monthly, but have experienced delays of up to two weeks because laboratories are overwhelmed, according to the California Department of Public Health.

DINING

Pico I am not sure when my love for Pico de Gallo started, but I’m pretty sure it was before I can remember. As a kid, my parents would put a limit on how many chips and salsa I was allowed to eat. Or else I would eat all of it, every time. If I were stranded on a desert island and I was allowed only one thing to eat for the rest of my life it would be chips and salsa. So, the point is, salsa is life.

de Gallo

• ½ Tablespoon Salt

To Make Chop the tomatoes, onion, and peppers into small pieces. I go for about the size of an uncooked pinto bean. Juice the limes. Dice the cilantro and green onion. Combine everything into a mixing bowl and add salt. Mix. You can eat the freshly made pico right away or set it in your fridge for the juices and flavors to marinate together. It will keep fresh in your fridge for a week.

I hope you enjoyed this meal! If you would like to see more recipes and meal ideas follow me on Instagram @connor.cooks or visit my website www.connorcooksfood.com or shoot me an email connorcooksfood@ gmail.com.

We are all affected by COVID-19

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

Earth Day event downtown got canceled, along with the Oxnard Insect Festival, the Jazz Festival, the July 4 fireworks show, and the Ventura County Fair.

There is a debate about whether this virus was weaponized, but without being political about it, Covid-19, whether you like it or not, has ruined 2020 for the entire world. People lost their jobs,

Oxnard-- You know what, this week’s editorial started on Saturday night, although it didn’t become obvious to me until Sunday afternoon.

A

S most of you know, I spend a lot of time traveling around Oxnard and the surrounding area reporting on life in our little corner of the world. As I was looking into a place to go on Sunday, it popped up on my computer that July 19 is National Ice Cream Day! I thought, oh boy, everyone loves ice cream, and this will make a fun story getting people to talk about their favorite flavor topped with an assortment of goodies.

I have to admit before I got sick with type 1 diabetes, I loved going to the banana split buffet at my college dorm cafeteria. There was always a ton of ice cream, bananas as far as you can see and toppings to combine that gave you a tremendous and unique treat.

It beats getting in line and asking for meatloaf and the cafeteria lady would laugh in an evil way and say, “What makes you think this is meatloaf?”

Needless to say, the J-Train was on board for such a trip. Ice cream is a personal favorite of hers, but it must meet specific criteria. It must be deliciously different, full of flavor, value, and absolutely the best thing to eat in the world. It also has to be low calorie.

There are too many times that I sit in the frozen section and watch her hover over the selections and yell at me to let her make her own choices. I try to help while I’m

there, and every time I pick up that five-gallon tub of ice cream to buy, she gets to scream, “put that back right now!” If I bring that home, I’ll eat it all in one sitting.

I went to a couple of places, and all they had was takeout available, and only a few people could be in the store at the same time. The story’s allure was gone when all I could get were pictures of togo bags full of ice cream and me asking people if they wouldn’t mind me talking to them while their ice cream melted.

There it is, an epiphany. This miserable virus has robbed all of us from so many events this year that

it’s not even a little funny. A year ago, at this time, I was at the salsa festival and having a great time interviewing lots of talented people who danced, along with chefs who created their own brand of liquid fire. The J-Train loved the Strawberry Festival and had enough strawberries and whipped cream to give the entire city heartburn. The

savings, businesses, and even lost their right to pray in church. Kids were sent home from school, and I’ve interviewed a bunch of kids.

Not one of them said, oh boy, it’s great to be home and away from school. They are miserable, too, and miss their friends.

The bottom line, wear your mask, be safe, follow all the social distancing protocols, and when this mess is over, somebody owes us a huge party.

HEALTH How the coronavirus spread through one immigration facility

By Eliot Spagat SAN DIEGO (AP)—Gregory Arnold walked into the warden’s office April 1 as the novel coronavirus ripped through one of the largest immigration detention centers in the United States.

Waiting with about 40 guards to begin his shift, he heard a captain say face masks were prohibited

I

NCREDULOUS, he and a guard who recently gave birth wanted to hear it from the boss. Arnold told Warden Christopher LaRose that he was 60 years old and lived with an asthmatic son.

“Well, you can’t wear the mask because we don’t want to scare the employees and we don’t want to scare the inmates and detainees,” Arnold recalls the warden saying.

“With all due respect, sir, that’s ridiculous.” Arnold retorted.

He said he wanted to wear a mask and gloves, and “everyone else should be doing the same.” But the warden was unmoved. And in the weeks that followed, Otay Mesa Detention Center would see the first big outbreak at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 221

detention centers.

The origins of the outbreak are uncertain, but accounts of workers and detainees reveal shortcomings in how the private company that manages the center handled the disease: There was an early absence of facial coverings, and a lack of cleaning supplies. Symptomatic detainees were mixed with others.

Other centers would follow with their own outbreaks, and a Homeland Security Department internal watchdog survey of 188 detention centers taken in midApril echoed some of what The Associated Press found at Otay Mesa: 19% of facility directors said there weren’t enough standard surgical masks, 32% said there weren’t enough N95 respirator masks, and

37% felt there wasn’t enough hand sanitizer for detainees.

Like prisons, living conditions are cramped -- except people held in immigration detention centers aren’t accused of any crimes. They wait to appear before an immigration judge to argue they should be allowed to remain in the country.

Otay Mesa sits on a tucked-away periphery of San Diego amid vehicle storage lots, a gas-fired power plant, a state prison, county jail and juvenile detention camp. ICE’s average daily population of 956 detainees last year made it the agency’s 11th-busiest detention center.

The squat, two-story facility -- managed under contract by CoreCivic Inc. and shared with U.S. Marshals Service inmates -- is surrounded by two layers of chain-link fence topped by razor wire. Rooms of two to four bunk beds open into common areas with televisions, sofas and board games.

Margarita Smith, a guard who was named CoreCivic’s Otay Mesa employee of the year in 2019, said managers frequently discouraged workers from wearing masks. The topic came up during briefings in March.

“They didn’t want anyone FIGHTING FOR YOUR wearing masks,” said Smith, who was tapped by CoreCivic to lead an employee morale committee FOR OVER 25 YEARS! in January. “They said it would You Could Be Eligible To Receive: frighten the detainees and make them think that we’re sick or $ something.”

employees starting the third week of March, he said, a statement that Arnold and Smith dispute.

Arnold said he wore a mask after learning about the detention center’s first case on March 31, an employee who handed out equipment to guards starting their shifts. Unaware of any ban on facial coverings, detainees thanked him.

“I was disgusted,” Arnold said. “It’s obvious this thing was ramping up. I knew it was going to happen. I could just tell.”

The contractor gave masks to detainees on April 10 but on condition they sign an Englishlanguage liability waiver, according to several detainees. It quickly retreated after a tense showdown with detainees.

“Everyone was screaming,” said Issis Zavala of Honduras, who refused to sign but was released with an ankle bracelet because a 2007 bout of tuberculosis made her vulnerable.

“They said, ‘You just sign it. OK, if you don’t want to sign, we’ll just go.”’ ___ On March 17, the day that San Diego limited public gatherings to 50 people and closed restaurants, colleagues gathered to grill the warden. One recalled wondering why so many people -- including about half the lieutenants -- were allowed to gather so closely together in one room.

When an employee pressed for clean rags, the warden answered twice that there was no need because the chemicals used for cleaning were very powerful. Others asked when they would get more wipes and gels.

Gloves were hard to find, Smith said. Arnold said the ones he saw were too small for his hands. Hand sanitizer dispensers were often empty.

Feeling the warden wasn’t taking the virus seriously, Smith felt she had no choice. At 48, she missed a week of work in early March with pneumonia, has asthma and had been sick off and on since November.

She quit. “I thought to myself I’m not going to get sick again,” she said. “I just had a feeling that things weren’t going to go good.”

The detainees, of course, had not choice but to stay. Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, Mexico’s consul general in San Diego, wrote ICE April 16 about a “generalized fear” among detainees, raising concerns about mixing ill and asymptomatic detainees and requiring liability

waivers for masks. A consulate hotline got more than 100 calls.

Common grievances included a lack of personal hygiene products, social distancing and masks, Gonzalez Gutierrez said.

They complained that they were instructed to drink saltwater to deal with pain, and that employees were not wearing personal protective equipment.

CoreCivic spokeswoman Amanda Gilchrist said the contractor rigorously followed guidance of health officials and ICE. She noted the CDC didn’t fully embrace masks until the first week of April and said employees and detainees get face coverings without having to sign a waiver.

“We have responded to this unprecedented situation appropriately, thoroughly and with care for the safety and well-being of those entrusted to us and our communities,” she said.

Zelaya, 35, said instructions came to wipe surfaces every hour on March 30 but rags were dirty. She used the same towel to clean toilets, door handles, phone receivers -and her hands.

“I clean houses,” Zelaya remembers telling guards. “You can’t use the same towel.”

“Oh, we have a special chemical.

It kills the bacteria,” Zelaya said she was told.

Victor Rodriguez, 44, was among 35 detainees who went on a five-day hunger strike April 4. The Guatemalan man was upset about a detainee who worked in the dining hall handling food and appeared to have a fever, for which he was given ibuprofen. (CoreCivic said it prohibited detainees with symptoms from working in the kitchen and that it followed CDC guidelines on cleaning and disinfectants.)

Authorities insist detainees had plenty of free soap -- 23,300 bars from March 24 to April 23 -- but Rodriguez said the bar he got daily was barely enough to wash his hands or shower. Hand-sanitizer requests were denied because authorities worried they could be used for homemade alcohol.

Elizabeth Cruz, 22, said a detainee who was coughing badly in their cell the first week of April was removed for about a week, returned and removed again before testing positive. Cruz said she reported chest pain and breathing difficultly for two weeks but couldn’t get more than allergy medication.

MOVIE REVIEW

“First Cow”

By Bob Garver

ingredient (or rather, the source of the secret ingredient) under wraps. Stealing milk might not be worth the death penalty, strictly speaking, but Chief Factor is essentially in a position to carry out any sentence he wants.

Almost all of the action (and there is very little action) takes place in the second half of the movie. The first half is all about establishing atmosphere. The Oregon landscape is beautiful, but unforgiving. Sensitive soul Figowitz doesn’t fit in with the surly local society, but he’s even less fit for roughing it in the woods with a pack of fur trappers. Fortunately, shack life with the ever-optimistic King-Lu is a nice in-between. Survival is still a job in and of itself, and a lot of early scenes are simply devoted to chores. Some will find the very act of watching these scenes to be a chore.

I can understand people thinking “First Cow” is brilliant because the direction is so tight and the characters’ journey so inspiring. I can understand people hating it because it moves at a snail’s pace. I’m personally somewhere in the middle: I can see a frustratingly easy way the main characters could get themselves out of trouble and I found the ending disappointingly abrupt even though it fits in with information that has already been presented. And yes, I think the film could have eased up on some of the scenes where nothing exciting happens. But at the same time, I recognize that these scenes are important to the setting of the film, if not its narrative. This film lends itself very well to studying in a classroom, but I can’t say I recommend it for entertainment value.

There is a debate within the criticism community over whether it is a valid criticism to call a work “boring.” I feel perfectly justified in saying a movie is boring if the goal of the movie is be “exciting” and I find it poorly paced, witless, or incompetent.

The “Machete” movies, for example, are boring to me because they can never pull off the thrills that they promise. But then there are movies like “First Cow” that don’t make a promise to be “exciting” in the traditional sense and there is certainly a temptation to call them “boring,” but at the same time I get the impression that the filmmaker made exactly the film they wanted to make. Is it fair to punish them for that?

M

ORE than any other film this year, I think “First Cow” is perfectly in keeping with the director’s vision. I imagine Josh Trank envisioned better makeup for “Capone.” I imagine Jon Stewart envisioned funnier jokes for “Irresistible.” I imagine David Koepp envisioned *Insert Any Component of a Decent Movie Here* for “You Should Have Left.” But nothing got away from director Kelly Reichardt here. If it’s onscreen, it’s because she wants you to see it. If you don’t want to see it, what are you doing watching her movie? It is important to remember while watching “First Cow” that this film, for better or worse, is very… deliberate.

The story follows cook Figowitz (John Magaro) and Chinese immigrant King-Lu (Orion Lee) as they navigate the treacherous life of 1820’s Oregon.

Figowitz wants to go into the hospitality industry, but given the setting, there isn’t much of

Grade: C

an industry to speak of. KingLu can turn any endeavor into a success, the duo just needs to find the right endeavor. Figowitz happens to want to make cakes that require milk. King-Lu helps

him steal milk from the one cow in the territory, which belongs to rich landowner Chief Factor (Toby Jones). Soon the two are cooking up a scheme to sell cakes to the locals. This leads to them

selling baked goods directly to Chief Factor. The snob is soon introducing them to more wealthy friends and this may lead to even more good fortune.

They just have to keep the secret

“First Cow” is available On Demand through streaming services and likely through your local cable provider. The film is rated PG-13 for brief strong language. Its running time is 122 minutes.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 899 Holbrook Avenue, Simi Valley, CA 93065 A.P.N.: 639-0-122-025 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation

secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $446,995.82.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/ D e f a u l t M a n a g e m e n t / TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2019-03563-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

Jose Ramiro Torres arrested for carjacking and attempted carjacking Oxnard-- On July 17, 2020, at about 5:20 p.m. officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the 1800 block of N. Rose Avenue about a stolen vehicle.

Officers contacted the victim, who stated he was to the rear of the businesses when the suspect approached him and demanded a ride. The suspect simulated a weapon, and the victim, in fear for his safety, backed away from his vehicle. The suspect entered and drove away in the victim’s vehicle.

As officers were checking the area, they also responded to a hit and run collision involving the victim’s vehicle.

The suspect, 24-year-old Jose Ramiro Torres, fled but was located a short time later by officers in the 1400 block of N. Lombard Street. The victim of the carjacking identified the suspect as the person who took his vehicle.

Jose Ramiro Torres

The hit-and-run collision victim also identified Torres as the person who was driving the suspect vehicle and fled the scene after the collision.

Officers responded to a third victim at 2200 E. Gonzales Road. This victim stated he was seated in the

passenger’s seat of his vehicle when the suspect, later identified as Torres, entered through the driver’s side door and attempted to take the vehicle. The victim and Torres struggled over the keys before Torres eventually fled the area.

Torres was arrested for carjacking, attempt carjacking, and misdemeanor hit and run driving.

Anyone with information regarding this case or other criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at 805-385-7600, or online via oxnardpd.org, and clicking on Report Suspicious Activity.

ENTERTAINMENT Charlize Theron, other celebs ask Feds to probe student’s 2010 killing

By Alana Durkin Richer HOLLYWOOD—Rihanna, Jay-Z, Charlize Theron and other celebrities are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the death of 20-year-old Danroy “DJ” Henry Jr., a Black football player at Pace University killed by a white police officer in New York nearly a decade ago.

N a letter sent this week to Attorney General William Barr, the entertainers say Henry, who was from Easton, Massachusetts, “lost his life for no good reason and with absolutely no good explanation.” The case remains an “unhealed wound” for Henry’s family and the people of New York, they wrote.

“The DOJ must truthfully determine whether a pattern and/or practice of discrimination played a role in the case of DJ Henry—and if it did—deliver the justice that restores this young man’s name and reputation, while giving hope to other young black

men who are just like him and desperate for change,” they wrote.

Others who signed the letter are Pharrell Williams, Taraji P. Henson, Odell Beckham Jr., Michael K. Williams, Kerry Washington, Mary J. Blige and Gabrielle Union.

An email seeking comment was sent Friday to DOJ spokespeople.

Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York announced in 2015 that they

would not bring civil rights charges, saying a thorough review of evidence did not show that Pleasantville officer Aaron Hess acted with deliberate and specific intent to break the law. The officer was previously cleared by a grand jury.

Hess shot Henry as Henry drove through a parking lot, away from a disturbance that spilled out of a bar in October 2010 in Mount Pleasant, a New York City suburb.

Hess has said Henry was trying to run him down and that he fired through the windshield to stop the driver.

The Henrys have said Hess jumped front of the car, got onto the hood and shot their son for no good reason. Another officer, Ronald Beckley, shot at Hess, later saying he did so because he believed Hess was “the aggressor.”

Prosecutors said Henry’s car struck the officer and injured him before Hess fired his weapon as he made “a split decision under conditions of extreme danger, conditions under which the law generally allows latitude to a police officer’s judgment.”

The Henrys reached a $6 million settlement with the town and the officer.

The celebrities said the facts of the case “reek of local conflict of interest, racial bias and even false testimony.”

“Justice, it appears, has been denied,” they wrote.

Henry’s father said new information that has come out since the criminal case was closed warrants a reexamination of his son’s death. He pointed to multiple witnesses who contradicted the

police department’s initial account of what happened, including Beckley.

“We’re hoping that anyone who can reopen this will reopen it,” Danroy Henry Sr. told The Associated Press on Friday. “All we’re asking for is what we asked for from the very beginning -- it’s just a fair review of the real evidence, not sort of a fake presentation of a false narrative, which is all that we believe happened so far here.”

The elder Henry said officials should reopen the case and shouldn’t wait for calls for the family or others to take action.

“That’s sort of the old moment,” he said. “There’s a new moment that’s emerged that requires them to be better. That’s why people are in the streets.”

Jay-Z has also called for justice in the case of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was shot and killed as he ran through a Georgia neighborhood. The social justice arm of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation entertainment company in May called on the state’s attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to help achieve a fair trial.

DC’s plan for ‘Watchmen’ sequel ‘Rorschach’ met with unease

By Jonathan Landrum LOS ANGELES (AP)—DC is releasing a new “Watchmen” spin off based on the Rorschach character, but the unveiling of the limited comic series has been met with mixed reactions.

Some critics online questioned whether the masked vigilante should be the primary focus after DC announced the sequel “Rorschach” on Wednesday. Others have slammed the decision to bring on Batman writer Tom King to write the 12-issue series, which will debut in October.

K i n g ’ s approach to the Dark Knight’s comic book story line he’s written has been divisive. With “Rorschach,” he said the new series will take a compelling look at politics similar to that of HBO’s “Watchmen” and the original comic in 1986. The comic will also be worked on by artist Jorge Fornes, colorist Dave Stewart and letterer Clayton Cowles.

The HBO series earned acclaim for delivering a story about race relations in America. But some are concerned about whether the story about the

anti-hero Rorschach, who wears a trenchcoat, fedora and white mask with morphing inkblots, will be as relevant today.

King believes it will be.

“This is a very political work.” he said in a statement. “It’s an angry work. We’re so angry all the time now. We have to do something with that anger. It’s called ‘Rorschach’ not because of the character Rorschach, but because what you see in these characters tells you more about yourself than about them.”

The sequel is set 35 years after the “Watchmen” comic series when Dr. Man­hattan turned Rorschach into dust.

A plot summary released on DC’s website asks: “So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as part of a pair of assassins trying to kill the first candidate to oppose President Robert Redford in decades? Follow one determined detective as he walks backward in time, uncovering the identities and motives of the would-be killers, taking him deep into a dark conspiracy of alien invasions, disgraced do-gooders, mystical visions, and yes, comic books.”
