RENT RELIEF INCREASES TO OVER $16 MILLION Oxnard-- In his report to the city council, Tuesday, October 18, City Manager Alex Nguyen said the state originally had over $12 million for rent relief in Oxnard, but they’ve gone up to over $16 million. “So far, we have 763 households that have been approved for assistance,” he said. “There is progress being made. You can see how much money has been coming down the pike to tenants and landlords. The program is still active, and we encourage people in need to apply.” He said the vaccination sites continue, and the city still has the location in North Oxnard at 2240 East Gonzales Road, and vaccinations are available from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. “On Thursdays, they open at n $16 million, see page 4

ARTWALK AND CRAFT FAIR T H E H O L I D AY S H O P P I N G By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Port Hueneme-- The holiday shopping season is upon us, and smart shoppers got a head start, Saturday, October 16, and took advantage of the Artwalk and Craft Fair at Oceanview Pavilion.

ENDORS were ready to go, and shoppers took the time to get their shopping fix on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Linda Klien from Mary Kay cosmetics was busy offering samples

and holiday gift ideas to people who took a peek. “Mary Kay is going great,” she said. “We’re doing Zoom, but we are doing some live appointments. It’s Christmas coming up, and we have these really cute Mint Bliss leg and foot treatment lotions. We dress them up with fuzzy socks like Gnomes, and they have little white beards with red noses. They are adorable for gifts for Thanksgiving. They are only $13 each or 3 for $33. We call them Oh Gifts. If someone hands you chocolate, you can say, oh, I have a n Artwalk, see page 6

Council approves rent control plan By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Oxnard-- The city council, Tuesday, October 19, approved an ordinance that directs the staff to bring back a local version of AB1482, a state law the offers rent control and protections with a five percent rent increase cap. The expiration date for the ordinance is in 2030. The staff will also come back with a public education program with an enforcement mechanism for local

control. The ordinance will include a look at local tenant protection, density bonus continuation, an inclusionary ordinance, and focus on the employee pipeline. The first draft of the ordinance should return in January 2022. City Manager Alex Nguyen said the item is the next iteration of an important policy discussion. “The staff has done its research and made our recommendations, but we also received a lot of public input,” he said. “We have listened and analyzed as best as we could.

This item includes staff reports, so I certainly hope all who are interested have taken the time to review all those, as well as the four associated videos that are available online.” Nguyen said the State of California is in a crisis with the issue. “The State of California is undergoing a housing crisis and an associated homelessness crisis,” he said. “This has clearly been stated by the Governor, the State n Council, see page 12

FIND THE TRUTH AND COMMUNICATE By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Oxnard-- You know, I’m sitting here thinking about this whole issue with the county’s logo, and the whole thing doesn’t add up.

EFORE all the woke haters start complaining about Father Junipero Serra and start the endless crap about how I’m defending the guy, well, stop and do something about your low levels of intellect. I have no idea what the guy did to others, and my guess is that most people only know whatever they heard somebody say on social media. I don’t know enough about this guy, and honestly, my job is to represent both sides of the issue and give an unbiased opinion for people to read and make up their minds. Of course, I’m the guy that had the audacity to cover a Trump rally last year and got plenty of hate mail because I had the nerve to cover both sides of an election. Never mind that we live in a Democratic Republic where we have the freedom to choose. The

NEWS Masking order extended By Chris Frost percent of the county’s total Tri County Sentry population has been fully Ventura-- Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin announced during the Board of Supervisors Meeting Tuesday, October 19, that the masking order is extended and will continue in Ventura County until three conditions are met.

“

WHEN Ventura County reaches the moderate (yellow) Covid-19 transmission tier as defined by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), and that is a rate of 7 per 100,000, and it remains there for three weeks,” he said. “Two, when Covid-19 hospitalizations in the county are low and stable. I think we are pretty close to meeting this criterion now. For number three, one of these two conditions is met. Eight weeks have passed since a Covid-19 vaccination has been authorized for emergency use by the FDA, CDC, and the Western Group, the state authority for 5-11-year-olds, or 80

vaccinated with two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of Johnson and Johnson. This is achievable.” Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mike Powers said the Covid-19 numbers are trending in a good direction. “The positivity rate overall is 2.3 percent, and also the equity rate in low-income communities are very favorable at 2.2 percent,” he said. “We continue to have one of the best vaccination rates in the state and the nation. We have 82 percent of county residents ages 18 and over have received at least one dose, and 73.9 percent of people 12 and over are fully vaccinated.” He said 92.6 percent of people age 65 and over received at least one dose of the vaccine. “In this last week, this number is trending in a good direction,” Powers said. “We had 12,684 vaccinations in this last week. With the effort of public health, community organizations, pop-ups, and everything, all of that, they just keep doing the work week-after-week.” Over 1,116,254 vaccines (first and second dose)

that we add funds later today for our final phase four of our business assistance grants,” he said. Public Health Director Rigo Vargas reviewed the mobile vaccination clinics and equity efforts in the areas hardest hit by Covid-19. “Certainly, we’re all over the county even if we’re not doing as many vaccination

Monday through Thursday. Nguyen said Ventura County Public Health Officer Dr. Mark Levin extended the mask order in all indoor public places and offered medical criteria for when the order will change. “We have a special election for district two in the City of Oxnard, and the election date is Tuesday, November 2,” he said. “Vote by mail ballots have already been shipped out. If you need any specific information, you can contact venturavotes.org or call their

offices at 805-654-2664.” He said ballots can be dropped off at Ventura County Credit Union, 691 Towne Center Drive. “That collection box is indoors and is open during the week from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Wednesday,” he said. “They can be dropped on from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., Thursday and Friday. and from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturdays.” He said there is also a box and the Oxnard Public Library, 251 South A Street,

The staff is outstanding in offering these clinics.” He said the case rate is going down for the vaccinated and unvaccinated. “You see, the unvaccinated have a five-fold higher case rate, 20 versus four,” he said. “Our official case rate at the time we made the graphic was 10, and yesterday, we were at 9.55, and today, we’ll probably be at 9.5. We’re really trying to reach 7. If we had everyone eligible vaccinated, we would be under 7. The case rate for the vaccinated is four.” He said as of October 18, 34 people have been hospitalized, and 7.6 percent are fully vaccinated, and 3.3 percent of fully vaccinated people have been admitted to the hospital.

and it’s available 24/7. “At the county’s government center, they have both a drive and walkup, so you can drop off your ballot outdoors,” he said. “That’s at 800 South Victoria Avenue, and it’s available 24/7.” Due to Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, there will not be a city council meeting. The council also authorized a resolution extending remote meetings in the City of Oxnard. “The new statute (AB361) requires that the council makes certain findings in order to keep conducting meetings remotely, without complying with other provisions of the open meetings law,” City Attorney Stephen Fischer said. “What we’ve been doing during the entire Covid-19 pandemic, we have to make findings for it. This is the first reauthorization of that. In the future, in order to lessen the burden on the city clerk’s office, we are going to put this reauthorization item on the consent agenda as a minute approval item rather than as a resolution.

NEWS Camarillo adopts updated Emergency Operations Plan By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Camarillo--The Camarillo City Council, Wednesday, October 14, updated its Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).

HE city updates its plan every five years, which is a tool used by city staff and responders. “It establishes emergency preparedness response and recovery operations in case of an extraordinary disaster or emergency,” Assistant City Manager Carmen Nichols said. “It’s compliant with the California Standardized Emergency Management System, which we call SEMS, and the National Incident Management System, NIMS. City staff that report to the Emergency Management Center are required to undergo extensive training. On an annual basis, the training exercise is conducted.” She said in 2021, they worked closely with Wendy Milligan, the president of Terra Firma Enterprises, specifically to understand some of the new rules and requirements incorporated into the plan. Milligan said she wanted to give the council a “30,000-foot” level update about what they’re trying to do with the plan. “The whole project is revolving around bullet points,” she said. “There were two bills, Senate Bill 160 and Assembly Bill 477 everybody is talking about; making sure we incorporate our diverse communities and disabled access functional needs populations appropriately throughout our plan. We were a little soft in some areas, so we’re trying to augment that up quite a bit. We also looked at, knowing historically what you’ve gone through in the past with some disasters, what worked and what didn’t work with regards to actual response or training and exercises you’ve had.” She said they’re looking to streamline the plan where they can, which she called a “really thick document.” “We’ve been trying to streamline it down to the end-users, which is your emergency responders that are going to be in your emergency operations center,” Milligan said. “We’re looking at those areas to streamline the information or

perhaps refer to other plans that address the same information instead of having that information up here in two places.” She said they’re also looking at state office emergency services that put out a crosswalk for the city’s emergency operations plan. “At the national level, there’s a tool available for us to make sure we are incorporating everything that we should in our emergency operations plan,” she said. “We use that as part of our plan to make sure, as we put the plan together, it’s going to be meeting all of those requirements at the state and national level. Ultimately your plan is a sub-plan of Ventura County operational areas emergency response plan as well and the State of California’s emergency management plan. So we want to make sure that your plan complements that plan as well, and we are using the same terminology and references that are going to be helping us when we respond together in an emergency.” The Emergency Operations Plan provides a structure and process that will be utilized to respond to and initially recover from an emergency or disaster. It assigns responsibility to individuals or agencies for carrying out specific actions during an emergency, sets forth lines of authority and organizational relationships and how they will be coordinated, and identifies personnel equipment facilities, supplies, and other resources available in the city or by agreement with other jurisdictions. She said they looked at the plan’s structure and started with the multi-agency coordination group, formerly the policy group. “We’re now calling it a multiagency coordination group to be speaking the same language as the county and the state as well,” Milligan said. That is the accepted term these days; multi-agency coordination group. That does not necessarily mean that in the past, the city council is the policy group. Not necessarily; it’s a multi-agency coordination group that could be most of the directors of your city departments. You could be pulling in the port people if you wanted. It depends on the incident who you would pull in who you think should be sitting at that table, executive level, that would make decisions across the board for this city. The rest of the organization would implement it.”

It absorbed what we call the damage assessment unit, and it used to be under the operations section,” she said. “That also was a point of confusion because people thought that was your building and safety, people and were going out and doing safety inspections where, in fact, it’s not. It’s the person that has been gathering information about all of the damages for your city

One change they did was create a disabled access functional needs coordinator, which did not exist before. “We felt that it was important due to the fact that at the national and state level, we need to look out for everybody in our community,” she said. “We may not have a real good understanding about how certain activities during a response may impact some of the disabled functional access needs populations for traffic. Maybe you are evacuating people, and you have people who have mobility issues. Even getting out an evacuation notice, you may have people who are hard of hearing or speak a different language. We’re trying to incorporate that into our org chart so we have a way to make sure that no matter what we’re doing, there’s somebody that’s overseeing the different tasks that we will be implementing during a disaster to make sure that we are incorporating the whole community. If we’re ordering busses, do those busses have lifts on them to accept folks in wheelchairs?” She said they’ve streamlined the organization, so there’s a fire/ medical health branch that used to be two different branches. “It used to be a fire and medical health branch, but really, the fire department is going to be serving both of those tasks or both of those positions, so we figured let’s combine them into one,” Milligan said. “The police branch was changed. It used

to be law enforcement, and we’re changing it to police just to be a little more descriptive. In some cases, we had people get a little bit confused with law enforcement thinking that it was illegal, like your attorneys. It’s not; it’s the police branch.” She said the situation status unit is combined with a few other units. “It absorbed what we call the damage assessment unit, and it used to be under the operations section,” she said. “That also was a point of confusion because people thought that was your building and safety, people and were going out and doing safety inspections where, in fact, it’s not. It’s the person that has been gathering information about all of the damages for your city.” She said the same thing applies to resource status. “You’re not ordering resources here but rather painting the picture of where all our resources are,” she said. They combined procurement and purchasing in the logistics section. “For the size of your city, it’s typically done by the same people, so we figured we’ll combine that,” she said. “We’ve combined the org chart down and streamlined it quite a bit.” The threats section in the EOP includes detailed threat or hazard information already contained in the city’s section within the Ventura County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan being updated. Instead of providing the same information in

the EOP, a summary of the threat or hazard is provided with reference to the Ventura County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan for a more in-depth description of the hazard. “It’s going from over 100 pages of hazard stuff; it’s going down to nine or 10 pages,” she said. They also color-coded the EOP checklist to make it easier to find. She said the Emergency Operations Plan used to be 13 files, and it is now one file with hyperlinks, so you can find something by clicking on the hyperlink. “Hopefully, that will make it a lot easier if you put it on your internal drives when you’re activated during an EOC activation, and you’re looking for a particular checklist,” she said. She noted that Disabled Access and Functional Needs (DAFN) must be beefed up. “Throughout the plan, we’ve woven information about what we call DAFN issues,” she said. “Throughout the plan in those categories, you know communications warning, notifications, evacuations, are woven throughout, but then, we also have support documentation for the operations section, particularly focusing on these categories for more in-depth information. What the state and the feds really want to see is that you don’t have a standalone annex for dealing with the DAFN. It’s woven throughout your plan. Then you can point to some specific details to support the information you have in your plan.”

Reverse Seared

T-Bone Steak By Connor Forbes Wowzas on this one. I thought I could make a good steak before I tried out this technique. I used to sear the steak on very high heat to start and then finish it on indirect heat.

UT Reverse searing basically inverts that process on it’s head. You slowly bring the internal temperature up and then sear it off at the end. This reminded me of a sous vide steak. You get the

same type of incredibly delicate meat. So you can apply this to a sous vide situation or use a

smoker, like I did. To start off I highly recommend T-bone steaks for

this as you get a New York strip and a Filet Mignon. Or like the one I cooked here it is just the NY. But hey, that’s my favorite steak and when you add in the bone, you can expect a tenderness and flavor to match. You can try this on other steaks, but I probably won’t! Ingredients • 1 T-Bone or Porterhouse steak • Salt • Pepper To Cook Preheat your smoker to 225⁰. Rub your steak with

Connor Forbes

salt and pepper. Place steak on smoker and leave until it reaches a temperature 10 degrees from your desired finished temperature (125 for rare, 135 for medium rare, 145 for medium and so on). Heat a cast iron pan on high, finish off the steaks with a couple of minutes of sear on both sides. The internal temperature should come up to your desired internal temperature. Rest in foil for 10 minutes. EAT! If you enjoyed this recipe please give me a follow on Instagram, @connor.cooks.

gift for you too.” She said there are lots of new holiday products. “We have something called Mary Kay Favs and the 12 days of favs,” Klien said. “It’s a big box with 12 different gifts in it, and it has all our different products in it. It’s $200 worth of products for $99.” Linda said she’s an expert at helping husbands and significant others who have no idea what to buy their lady. “I can help by giving a free certificate for a free skincare session,” she said. “He will not have to pay for that. He can give any amount he wants in a gift certificate. If he gives $50 or $100, then she gets to try everything on and have a shopping spree.” To order, visit www. MaryKay.com/LKlein. Toni Campolong tried on some lip gloss and loved it. “I know Mary Kay; it’s a good product,” she said. “I’m enjoying the day. I’m buying gifts for Christmas and enjoying a nice day.” Roxie Wiley brought out her hats and hair bows. “We have our clown hats and our sailor hats,” she said. “We’re out here to sell some stuff and have some fun. A hot item for Christmas, we’ve been selling a lot of our velvet fedoras; they’re black velvet.

We’re not selling as many sun hats.” She said flip flops they design are still selling. “Flip flops are year-round in California,” Duece Wiley said. “They’re rain gear and dry faster. Otherwise, you have wet socks.” The duo brought their dog Lilly who is now nine months old. “She’s getting bigger and bigger,” Roxie said. Duece said the duo has been working on hair bows for the holidays. “We’re working on specialty hair bows with fun fabrics,” she said. Tiffany Gibson from Ace of Arts was creating treasures for the crowd. “I started doing this over Covid-19,” she said. “I was out of work, and so was my husband. We live in an apartment less than a mile down the street from here, and the kids around us were doing graffiti and getting in trouble. I love art and thought that if you’re going to do it, do it well. Don’t get in trouble for it.” She got together a bunch of paper, and the graffiti artists sat outside and started creating art. “Now the kids are not getting in trouble anymore, and they are coming up with

cool pieces,” she said. She saw her first design while at the beach and decided to paint. “I went to Venice a long time ago, and I had seen people doing it there,” she said. “I had always been an artist, and I wanted something that would travel well. I didn’t want to do sketching or anything else. There were too many tools. I wanted something quick and easy, and this is super quick and super easy. You can’t mess it up. It can take me anywhere from five minutes to an hour to do a painting.” She said she’s over-sprayed paint that ended up on her

husband’s car. “I said to him I’m sorry, I got a little bit on the car, but look at it this way, one day maybe I’ll be in an art show and sell some paintings and be famous.” She said the event was her first show, and she hoped to make her passion a career. “I’m not a 9 to 5er,” she said. “I’ve done it, but I’m not very good at it. I’m too much of a free spirit. I absolutely love this and love teaching it to people. When you go to a show or the beach and have artists that do this, they usually stay in their work and don’t want to talk to you.” The design she was working

on started as a challenge from her husband. “I had the sky and the ocean, and he said to paint what you see,” she said. “I said what I see, and I said, are you serious. I’m new to palm trees. That’s what I love about him. He challenges me. This one is going to be called number 2.” She said her designs take shape, and she never knows what it’s going to be. “It’s in my head,” she said. “It’s something that I see. It’s my interpretation of it.” Author Maureen McGrath brought her two books about anti-bullying and differences. “The first book is my book

on differences which is a friendship between a puppy and a butterfly,” she said. “The butterfly has velcro, so it moves from the nose to the ear. The puppy protects the butterfly in the rain. My books teach children that our differences can bring us together instead of apart.” She said anti-bullying is a subject she is passionate about ending. “It’s a true story about a cat with a crooked tail,” she said. “I have a book, a plush, and a tooth fairy pillow for that as well. I wrap them in cellophane with a zig-zag ribbon. It’s a great gift for the holidays or anytime.”

community. Ask yourself; are you interested in the truth and doing what is right or pandering down to a bunch of biased thugs while you make a bunch of comments that you believe will keep you in office. If he is guilty, take him out, but vette the issue. This is not the first time I’ve reported on this issue. I interviewed a group of angry kids who wanted the statue of Serra taken down in Ventura and asked them why a country like Germany

would leave the Auschwitz location in place so everyone can learn from history. After a moment where the uneducated searched for an answer, one of the uneducated jumped in and said there are no statues of Adolf Hitler in Germany. Okay, let me take a minute and educate those people who can’t comprehend anything more intellectual than an idiotic social media post. There were about 1 million Jewish people who were killed in Auschwitz

during World War II. That is, in a figurative sense, a monument to Adolf Hitler. I know this won’t sink in, but Hitler ordered that killing. That really makes me wonder what they are teaching in school. If my kids made these uneducated claims without true due diligence in the classroom, I would be on the teacher’s Heines and hold them accountable. I guess that makes me a domestic terrorist because I cared and fought for my kids.

and see what he really did and report back to the public. One comment during this issue was that removing Serra divides the community more. Wake up! The community is already divided on this issue. If the supervisors picked someone to research the topic honestly and fairly without prejudice, if the truth is reported, that would not divide the community. Both sides think they are right. Supervisors, do your job and unite the

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa-

tion. 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/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2021-00498-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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

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 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 the 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 095851-CA.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 095851-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

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 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 the 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.

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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-17-783295RY.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on Nov. 18, 2021 at 10:30 AM in Dept. No. J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard, Oxnard, CA 93036.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

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 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 the 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 (855) 976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site https://tracker.auction.com/sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.377-214.

MOVIE REVIEW/NEWS

VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE By Bob Garver

When we last saw reporter Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), he had formed an uneasy alliance with Venom (also Hardy), the symbiote living in his body. A symbiote is basically a second personality that can interact with its host, but also occasionally appear in physical form as a being with superpowers. The setup is reminiscent of “Malignant,” a horror movie from a few weeks ago. But this movie spent millions of dollars on a CGI Venom, whereas that movie spent what looked to be a couple hundred bucks on a puppet. The puppet was way creepier.

HE sequel sees Eddie and Venom settled down, but the alliance still uneasy. Venom wants to eat people, but Eddie won’t let him eat anything smarter than a chicken. Eddie is trying to regain his credibility as a reporter, which he can do by landing an exclusive with incarcerated serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson). The information provided by Kasady himself is

disappointing, with him wanting nothing more than to get a message out to his girlfriend Frances (Naomie Harris), who is locked away in a separate institution. But Venom notices a mural on the wall of Kasady’s cell that reveals the location of his victims’ bodies. Eddie relays

the information to the police and is hailed as a hero, much to the chagrin of Detective Mulligan (Stephen Graham), who had been working Kasady’s case and has a history with Frances. Kasady, meanwhile, is sentenced to death and vows revenge on Eddie, though not necessarily

over the impending execution. Kasady invites Eddie to his cell one last time, where he antagonizes him into throwing a punch through the bars. The close proximity allows Kasady to bite him, which he would have considered satisfactory revenge, except that he notices that Eddie doesn’t have proper blood. It was the loose-tempered Venom who threw the punch, and some symbiotic fluid was transferred to Kasady. Kasady develops his own symbiote named Carnage that he uses to escape the prison, free Frances, and go on a rampage. The plan is for Kasady (and Carnage) to marry Frances in a twisted wedding ceremony that will also include the deaths of Venom, Mulligan, Eddie, and Eddie’s newly-engaged ex-girlfriend Anne (Michelle Williams). Mulligan and Anne are easy enough to kidnap, but Eddie and Venom will have to show up of their own accord, which will be tricky since they had a falling out over the punch. Can they patch things up, crash the wedding, and save the day? The emphasis on stained-glass windows in the film’s advertising should be all the clue you need. As with the first film, the action is all CGI muck. It’s a bit easier to follow this time because someone bothered to pay the electric bill at the church, so the lights are on, but that only helps a little. The real appeal lies in the

Eddie/Venom chemistry. And sure, it’s sometimes funny to see a human comically mismatched with a bloodthirsty alien, and Hardy puts his back into realizing the characters as always, but Venom’s staggering fakeness makes it very apparent that the performances are not taking place anywhere near each other. Venom is a villain from “Spider-Man,” but so far the character in this continuity has not met up with the webslinger. A much-ballyhooed mid-credits sequence tells us that that’s about to change. I’m glad that it is. Not because I’m particularly excited to see a Spider-Man/ Venom showdown, but because this is hopefully the end of standalone Venom movies. With clearer action and a better villain (Harrelson’s serial killer is at least more interesting than yet another evil industrialist), “Let There Be Carnage” is a better “Venom” movie than the original, but I’m still not sold on the character as a lead. Grade: C “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some strong language, disturbing material and suggestive references. Its running time is 90 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@ nyu.edu.

Assembly, and Senate over the past five years. They have passed numerous bills trying to help resolve the problem.” He noted that the problem has been building for the last three to four decades. “We confront that not only with the homelessness crisis but through our housing numbers through the next RENA Cycle,” he said. “The state requires all local communities to produce housing, and we struggle with it there.” Nguyen asked what the city should do about the situation at the local level. “Probably more importantly, what can we

do here at the local level that would be both pragmatic and useful,” he said. He cited data from the Southern California Region of Governments (SCAG) and said the trendlines for homes remained the same from 1996 until 2016. “The median home price in our region increased by over 300 percent,” he said. “The median household income stayed flat, and when you adjust it for inflation, it went down about 5 percent.” He noted the gap between the income line and the cost of housing. “This gap here, I’m nicknaming it Mount Everest,”

he said. “There are very few individuals or families at the median income, $65,000, that can bridge this gap for the median cost of housing.” He said the primary problem is the extremely high housing cost in California and the City of Oxnard is not exempt from that problem. “This is decades in the making and has to do with the sacredness of single-family zoning, NIMBYism (not in my backyard), and a lot of cities in the state refusing to construct single-family housing,” he said. “As a result, over the past several decades, as a state, we have not added nearly enough housing stock

to keep up with the population growth in the state. Specific within that, we’ve certainly not added enough affordable housing stock.” He said it comes down to the fact that residents do not earn enough money to afford the housing. “As we all know, the cost of housing burden has gotten so high; it’s well beyond the 30 percent that you would expect a family to pay for housing,” Nguyen said. He advised the council to seek a crisis intervention measure. “The staff believes that rent control in and of itself is not ultimately the right solution,” he said. “We recognize that in

the short run, it would slow the pace of rental increases. We recognize that many of our residents can certainly use that relief right now in this crisis.” In the long run, he said rent control causes problems in the housing market in some cities and includes spurring gentrification. “That’s why the staff has not recommended a permanent rent control ordinance,” he said. “As far the recently enacted state rent control, AB1482, I have heard and read and understand that the advocates against rent control want us to wait and see how that law will play out.

We’ve studied AB1482 as well, and while I don’t have a crystal ball, but having worked in local government for nearly a quarter-century, I can tell you that AB1482 will not be effective at the local level.” Nguyen said AB1482 is a non-starter for local tenants, given the realities the community faces. “Permanent rent control will not bridge that gap,” he said. “Rent control will not produce, procure or ensure affordable housing,” he said. Nguyen said the city needs to find ways to produce more affordable housing. For more information, visit theucband.com.
