Downtown Oxnard Lions step up for the Driffill Elementary kids

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—A large crowd of hungry supporters stopped by Driffill Elementary School on June 8, ready to enjoy breakfast and support Driffill's Winter Closet at the Second Annual Pancake Breakfast hosted by the Downtown Oxnard Lion's Club.

A

T TENDEES enjoyed delicious pancakes, thick and fluffy, along with fruit, sausage, bacon, coffee, and lots more.

Carol Flores Beck has been the principal of Driffill for nine years and plans to retire at the end of the year after 39 years of teaching children.

"We have a wonderful partnership with the Oxnard

Downtown Lions Club, and this is their second event for us," she said. "They help us with our Winter Closet, which helps our families in need that sometimes need an extra jacket, pair of pants, tennis shoes or backpacks, and so forth. They also help us with our Christmas baskets for our families."

The first fundraiser by the Lions generated enough money to last two years, she said, and they hope the event will carry them through the next school year and do beautiful things for the kids.

"Driffill Elementary School got started in 1946 and added a second story five years ago so that the school could house the seventh and eighth-grade classes," she said.

"The school is approximately 1,200 students in downtown Oxnard," she added.

The relationship between the school and the Lions Club she called "a partnership in crime."

"I am a member of the Lions, and it was a partnership from the Latino Expo, and Adam Casillas," she said.

The school had eighth grade award night, June 7, and Flores Beck looked forward to graduation on June 10.

Council decides to fund Engine 62 at budget hearing

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Oxnard City Council's Budget hearing drew a massive crowd, and more than its of fireworks and passion on June 5.

More than 80 people came out to speak against the city's proposed closing of the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC), the Carnegie Arts Museum, the Colonia Library and Boxing Gym and proposed cutbacks at Station 2 on Pleasant Valley Road to take Engine 62 out of service and run the station with only Emergency Medical Services.

By department, the city is proposing $2.4 million in cuts to the cultural and community services department, eliminating 8 jobs, $2.2 million in public works, which removes 12 positions, saving $1 million in the fire department, $988, 000 in the police department, deferring the hiring of five public safety trainees, $194 million to the information technology department, $190 million on the city manager's staff and other cuts totaling $469,000.

Council members heard the message loud and clear and directed City Manager Alex Nguyen to return with a budget that fully funds Station 2 with Measure O Funds.

The public also came forward with fundraising efforts that will keep the Colonia Library and Boxing Gym open, and Lazer Broadcasting offered to partner with the city to keep the PACC open. The council approved CDBG funds to use at the Colonia Boxing Gym to keep it's doors open during the next fiscal year on a part-time basis.

Nguyen made the first presentation and told the capacity crowd that Oxnard is still in financial trouble. One year ago, Interim City Manager Scott Whitney shared that information with the public and forewarned everyone that the $7.5 million deficit the city faced in the fiscal year 2018-2019 that it n Budget hearing, see page 2

Public Works and Transportation sends golf course contract forward without endorsement

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Public Works and Transportation Committee sent a fee for service agreement with American Golf Corporation to the full city council but did not approve or endorse the item.

The committee wants the full council to weigh in on the matter as one member called says the agreement puts the members in a tough place.

The agreement was hurried along, as City Manager Alex Nguyen said the matter should

have been vetted months, not weeks, in advance. The contract with the current operator expires at the end of June. The course will also be exempted from the living wage policy.

The agreement is for three years with no subsidy by the city. The city has subsidized the course in previous years, but with a $9.2 million deficit, can no longer support that practice.

Public Works Director Rosemary Gaglione said River Ridge is the city's municipal course complex with two

courses and the first course opened in 1986.

"The contract we have with High Tide and Green Grass has been in place since 1984, and it is expiring on June 30," she said. "The city's primary objectives with this is to make the golf course self-sustaining and operating without any city subsidy. That's our plan in the short term, and in the long run, we want to make the golf course profitable."

The course has seen a steady decrease in the rounds played, she said, and the historical revenue shows a

regular pattern of a little over $4 million yearly."

"In 2018, what kept us from going below that $4 million was the banquets," she said.

The annual water consumption at River Ridge is 700-800 acre-feet per year, Gaglione said, and to reduce operating expenses, the city will purchase well 27 from the city's water utility for $126,000.

That will come from the golf course development fees," she said. "We called it the Wagon Wheel Development fees, but they are not the only n Golf course, see page 2

NEWS Pedro Gutierrez arrested

Shoplifting operation conducted in Oxnard Oxnard-- On June 5, 2019, at approximately 2 P.M., Property Crimes Detectives from the Oxnard Police Department conducted a shoplifting operation in partnership with Home Depot loss prevention employees. The focus of the operation was to identify, detain, and arrest persons suspected of shoplifting.

During the 4-hour operation, detectives and loss prevention personnel arrested two adults.

The adults were identified as 30-year old Joseph CaiazzoRamirez and 26-year old Adriana Rodriguez. Two 16-year old juveniles were also detained and arrested for shoplifting during the operation.

Detective Meagan Tobey, who led the operation, said: “We wanted shoplifters to know that we are watching and that we will be conducting these operations throughout the city.”

Annually, the Oxnard Police Department investigates hundreds of theft and shoplifting incidents. Property Crimes Detectives are committed to reducing these crimes by working closely with local businesses and community members. Property Crimes Detectives are available to provide crime prevention education and information to reduce theft-related crimes.

Anyone with information regarding these shoplifting incidents or other criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7600 or online via the Oxnard Police Department’s website (www.oxnardpd.org) by clicking on “Report Suspicious Activity.” Anonymous reports are accepted.

Oxnard-- On June 5, the Oxnard Police Department Major Crimes detectives arrested a person in connection with the May 11 hit and run death of 30-year old Oxnard resident, Ricardo Torres Rojas, in the west alley of the 2000 block of Mariposa Street.

On May 11, 2019, at about 11:40 A.M., Oxnard Police Department officers responded to an incident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian on the 1300 block of Bluebell Street.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found Mr. Rojas lying in the roadway. Mr. Rojas was transported by ambulance to the Ventura County Medical Center, and he succumbed to his injuries.

From the start of the investigation, detectives sought to determine if the cause of Mr. Rojas' death was the result of a traffic collision or an intentional act. Major Crimes investigators interviewed numerous people who provided valuable information, canvassed the neighborhood and located video of the incident. Based on the evidence gathered, investigators were able to confirm that Gutierrez struck Mr. Rojas with his vehicle, dragging him under the vehicle for over one block before becoming dislodged on Bluebell Street. Because Gutierrez used his vehicle as a weapon to kill Mr. Rojas, his death is now considered as Oxnard's seventh homicide of 2019.

At 5:30 P.M. on June 5, 2019, Major Crimes investigators arrested Gutierrez at the Oxnard Police Department and charged him with the murder

development that put money into this fund." That well, along with well 18, has a high degree of solids and is not suitable for potable use.

"The purchase of the second well will reduce the annual usage on reclaimed water and will save us about $300,000 a year," she said. "That's double return on the money in one year which is a good investment."

The agreement requires monthly and annual reporting and will be public documents.

"The city will also be opening a bank account to which all the revenues will flow, and American Golf will open a fund that will be an operating fund," she said. "The city will place $435,000 on July 1, with council approval of golf course development

fees into that account as a beginning fund balance for operating capital. In Sept. an additional $165,000 would go in. There will be no commingling of accounts."

The city will pay an incentive amount, 3 percent, based on the annual threshold per year, she said, then 15 percent of the adjusted net operating income after that if the

threshold is met.

Regardless of anything that happens, the operator will receive a base fee plus 3 percent of the first $900,000 in revenue. If they exceed $900,000, the operator will get an additional 12 percent for a total of 15 percent if the living wage is in effect.

Budget hearing continued from page 1

would continue.

"We cannot stand still and hope for things to change," Nguyen said. "We have to make decisions and take actions simultaneously, and there are no simple binaries in this effort. We have been spending more money than we can afford to spend."

He called the budget proposal painful and unpopular but said it is necessary.

"We are part of a continuum of time," he said. "While some of the faces have changed, the institution has been going through this for many years."

Nguyen reviewed the timeline that led the city to where it is, starting in 2008 when companies and nonprofits downsized because of the great recession but Oxnard did not. Eventually, as the recession ended those companies and non-profits made a comeback and surpassed where they were.

"Unfortunately, in that same decade, this organization found itself in massive turmoil," he said. "You start in 2010 with an FBI raid at city hall. They were not coming

here to investigate the next 10 years; they came here to investigate the prior decade and the decade before that.

In 2012, the district attorney released their report, and shortly thereafter the city placed the city manager at the time on administrative leave (at full pay), and the council had to appoint an interim city manager for about two years."

The city appointed a new city manager in 2014, who started doing his management assessment about what was wrong and how to explain and fix what was in the district attorney's report.

The management report was released in 2015 and had 128 recommendations.

"One of the highlights of that report was that the city manager and the city manager's office become more involved in running the city and more involved in the city's budget process," he said. "A year after that, a new audit was conducted with a new audit firm. They dug deep and wide and came back with 111 findings. That is extraordinary for any organization."

One of the things exposed

was the city has a severe lack of best practices in municipal government, Nguyen said, which included outdated fee structures including some fees that dated back to 1972.

The city deferred strategic investments, had inadequate capital improvement programs, no master plan for its park system, outdated cost allocation formulas, plus fund deficits at the PACC and River Ridge Golf Course totaling $6 million, combined.

The city also had to pay back $4.4 million to the assessment districts, he said, plus convert 140 employees from part-time to full-time status with benefits that cost between $5-6 million per year.

"The city also had to resort to borrowing $16 million from Measure O to the general fund to cover its budget deficit gap for one year," he said. "The city did not make any structural deficit changes that year; it used a convenient band-aid.

The general fund has to pay that back, and there is a 10year repayment schedule."

Added to the problem was a report that said City Corps was not paying proper

contributions to the CalPERS pension system which cost the city $2 million.

"Meanwhile, while all that's happening, the state's pension system for public employees was skyrocketing over those same years in this decade, and doubled," he said.

The city also became subject to vast amounts of turnover and employed 46 people to fill 10 positions over 10 years. That equates to 3.6 executive leaders leaving the city every year.

"No organization can succeed with this kind of turnover in leadership," he said, "When you have this, good things are unlikely to happen, things will fall through the cracks. Bad things are likely to happen, and you have a lot of lost opportunities when this is going on."

Police and fire contracts expired in 2018, Nguyen said, and the city presented the new contracts to the city council and how much they would cost year-to-year, and everyone understands, including the city council that it is a cumulative cost.

"You get an increase in year

one, say of a dollar, and you get an increase in year two of another dollar, you don't lose the increase you have in year one," he said. "It's cumulative, so the all-in cost is represented in this budget proposal and not only in the proposed 1920 budget, but in the five-year forecast. It's all baked in there.

There are no surprises, and we are not going to come back in the middle of the year and say the contract for the firefighters cost more."

He pointed out that Oxnard does not exist in a bubble and it competes with other cities for employees in the region even during tight budget times.

"Our pay scale is already about 10 percent below the median and our medical premiums for whatever reasons that came to be in the past were rock bottom," he said. "If we can't keep up, we will lose them because they will make rational choices about where to work."

Nguyen dispelled rumors, starting with the arts being the first thing that always gets cut, which is untrue.

"In prior years, a lot of other things were cut starting in the

11-12 fiscal year, and only this year we are proposing closing the PACC and the Carnegie," he said. "This city and city council has done everything to avoid this."

Nguyen did say that the city will honor the venue's agreements at the PACC through the end of the year, but did site safety concerns in the old building which is 50 years old and pointed out there are no ADA compliant improvements that need to be updated.

During council comments, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said she is pleased the city is going to fulfill its commitments to the people who booked the PACC through the end of the year and is concerned about the issues surrounding the conditions at the venue.

"In addition to a potential recession, we are going to have an earthquake," she said. "It's not an if, but a when. We also have to be responsible for the safety of the people in that building."

Food share helps needy families in La Colonia

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- People helping people was alive and well at the Colonia Library, June 8, as the monthly food share event means full stomachs and happy families.

O

X N A R D H o u­s i n g Authority Resi­ dent Services Coordinator Rose Banuelos led

the food share and said it’s a monthly event in the La Colonia neighborhood every second Saturday of the month.

“We’ve been doing this food share for about 20 years,” she said. “We pick up food from Food Share and we have volunteers come in and distribute to all the community in La Colonia.”

The group picks up fresh vegetables and fruits, in addition to canned items to share with the residents.

“The economy is getting harder,” she said. “It’s 10 a.m. and

we served about 100 families.

They line up at 7 a.m., we open at 8 and then we start distributing.”

She loves seeing the families come in with their children and the looks on their faces because her group is there to help the people who are hungry.

“I’ve been in this community for over 25 years and do all the social services in the area, and it is rewarding to give to our community families,” she said.

“We also have a lot of older people who come, and their social security check doesn’t

stretch. They come in and we have a lot of that papulation.”

On any given day, Banuelos said she gets 10 people a day who come to the housing office looking for housing, but there is a long line of people needing housing and the wait can be years.

People who missed the food share event can call the group directly.

“There is a list of food shares all month long,” she said. We’re just one in this community.”

The number for food share is 805-983-7100.

EMC goes Creole in a big way

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— Fans of The Collection can rejoice, as the city now has authentic creole food to savior at EMC at the mall.

The restaurant is getting ready to change its name to "EMC Louisiana Seafood House" and has rebuilt its menu from the ground up.

The driving force behind the culinary treats, Guy DuPlantier, had a restaurant in Long Beach called "Crazy Creole Café" for the last five years and decided to bring his talents to the City of Oxnard for everyone to enjoy.

"We care about the product and the customers," he said. "We specialize in Louisiana seafood products, and we ship most of our products in from Louisiana.

We have live Louisiana crawfish that we get in from Southwest Cargo. We take the extra steps to make sure we get the products in."

If you want to try something unique and special, be sure to order some real Louisiana Alligator which has a unique flavor.

"A lot of people say it tastes like chicken, but it doesn't taste like chicken," he said. "Alligator can be tough, so we marinate it overnight in buttermilk and hot sauce, which tenderizes it.

People trying the product will comment on its texture, but no one calls it tough.

From the moment you walk into the restaurant, it's like stepping into the Bayou of Louisiana. Zydeco music is playing, and you are greeted at the door by a friendly hostess with a

bright smile and is truly happy you came to feel the love at the restaurant. You feel like a member of the family.

A must try once you're there is their famous seafood gumbo, which is packed full of freshly made lean sausage, shrimp, chicken, and rice, swimming in a spicy broth that has plenty of heat but doesn't overwhelm you. The key to a good gumbo is to pack it with flavor you can taste, and not feel like you threw a lit match in your mouth.

The fish and chips are the best, full of flavorful catfish that is crisp, flavorful, and hot. The French Fries are almost too hot to eat because they are cooked to order and flavored with creole seasoning.

The potato salad is a little different than something you buy at the grocery store. People who try it enjoy the first bite, but when the taste rolls across your tongue, you start to get the unique mixtures of spices and peppers that one customer told me was the best she ever had.

Another great dish is the Jambalaya with remoulade sauce, that Guy said came to him in a dream. Just in case, he keeps a pen-and-pad on his nightstand to write down inspirations.

"People think I am crazy," he said. "I channel my relatives, and I ask my grandma when I need her help. These recipes are handed down and handed down. The passion is there."

No meal is complete without dessert, and the mini Bundt cakes are moist, light, flavorful, and full passion.

"It's all about balance," he said.

"I am an artist, but I don't paint on canvas, I paint on your tongue and palate."

Guy is planning a secret menu, and every week, that menu will be different, and each dish is designed to wow every guest every time.

"It's in my culture and DNA," Guy said. "I'm a "who dat" and it's the Saints, the gumbo and the authentic creole dishes. Don't call me Cajun, but I do cook Cajun dishes. I'm Creole, and there's a big difference. Creole food is more like city food with sauces and butter. Cajun food is more backcountry where you go out in the woods and kill something and cook it up with more cayenne and spices. We have a lot of different seasonings."

When he arrived at the location, the restaurant had three seasonings, salt, pepper, and msg. The kitchen now has a few dozen spices.

One thing you'll never find on the dining room tables is salt, and DuPlantier will tell you with all the herbs and spices, it's not necessary.

"My philosophy is if the first bite you don't like it, the second bite you don't like it, I'm going to take it back," Guy said. "I am going to try and please you.

I realize that I can't please everyone, but I try."

The underlying theme is southern hospitality, he said, and everyone is respected.

"You have to stay consistent with your product each time," he said.

The trick is to find people who share his passion, and Guy said he is blessed.

"We have three line-cooks who are passionate and care about the food," he said. "You can't teach that. They have the same qualities that we share, and we are a team. Don't call me a boss. I love teaching people."

EMC Louisiana Seafood House is located at 511 Town Center Drive in the Collection.

Public Works and Transportation endorses Wastewater Treatment Plant Cogeneration Engine Refurbishment

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Public Works and Transportation Committee endorsed awarding a contract to GI Endurant, LLC for the Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant Cogeneration Engine Refurbishment Phase II during its June 11, meeting.

The contract amount is for $499, 632, and an additional $49, 963 for contingencies and 49,963. They also approved $49,963 for engineering, inspection, survey, and project management and approved an appropriation of $358,349 for the Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant Cogeneration Engine Refurbishment Phase II. Interim City Engineer Tatiana Arnaout gave the presentation and said the project is part of the city’s five-year Capital Improvement Plan.

“How that’s produced at the Cogen plant is that 35 percent of that was installed in 1975 and because of their age, the units require maintenance and have become unreliable,” she said. “On two occasions in 2017, the treatment plant lost power while the Cogen plant was offline due to failures that are coming from deferred maintenance.”

The failures cause the power plant to bypass the secondary treatment process, she said, which resulted in regulatory violations.

“This contract is for the second phase of the overhaul for the third and final cogen engines,” she said. “It’s going to start in Oct. and the reason why we are holding off on this is because in the summer months that’s our peak season for energy consumption.

We want to keep all three engines running during the summer and then come back after peak season to go offline and do the actual refurbishment.”

The city only received one bid for the project, Arnaout said, and she doesn’t think re-bidding the project will work because it is specialized work.

“The total estimated project cost for this is just under $600,000,” she said. “To make up for the difference, we have some money in the project budget already, and we need another $358,000 from the wastewater operating fund to fill the need.”

Committee Chairman Bert Perello asked how much a new cogen would cost and Arnaout said it would cost twice as much or more.

“That doesn’t assume that you might need a whole other building to house the cogen engines which would exceed that even more so,” she said. “We have a oneyear warranty after acceptance. We get it running, and we let it run for at least two weeks, and if nothing happens, usually catastrophic failures happen in the first two weeks, and after that period, we accept the engine and the warranty starts.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2019

OPED Another Vacation in the Bank Dr. James L. Snyder The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I arrived home from our vacation late Tuesday afternoon.

I’m not one for vacations, but this one was special. Our grandson who lives in Ohio was graduating from high school and then this summer he would be heading off to London for some soccer group. He loves soccer.

This is the second of our grandchildren to graduate from high school. I would not say this to everybody but, this year is the 50th anniversary of my graduation from high school. I cannot believe it has been that long. I must have fallen asleep for several years without waking up.

To see a grandson graduate from high school and then look at my graduation picture 50 years ago I was amazed. How can he be as old as I was? What he does not understand is that one day he will be as old as I am. I will not be the one to tell him that.

We spent the whole week with the family there that we have not seen for several years. It was such a wonderful time.

My ambitions in life have never included vacations. A vacation is where you go, but don’t do anything.

I don't like that. It is not that I’m a workaholic; I like to work all the time. When on vacation, I lose time because I’m not working. I like to organize my day around my work projects.

There are no work projects on vacation. At least, that’s what my wife says, and she would never lie to me.

I like to keep track of my time as much as possible. When home and working at the office, I am in control of my time. That is when I am the happiest.

Now, when on vacation, I have no control of my time. The word vacation means to vacate and I am not quite sure what I am vacating. I guess one thing I am vacating is time.

When I was home working I noticed there are seven days of the week. One week equals seven days, every week, of every month, of every year. Yet, when on vacation, particularly the one I was just on, there seems to be only three days in that week. What is the story behind all that?

It takes two days to drive there and then two days to drive back home. In the middle are only three days left!

How can you enjoy a week's vacation in only three days? Something is wrong here.

I believe that when you take a week's vacation the travel time should not be included.

I would like to know who in the

world come up with this idea of a “week’s vacation” time. How can I enjoy vacationing when four days out of that week I have to sit in the car driving? It does not sound fair to me.

So many things wrong with that idea that I do not know where to start. However, I do know where to stop. That would be, stop having

vacations. That would solve that problem.

I have noticed that whenever you solve one problem another problem that you did not expect pops up.

I made the mistake of expressing my thoughts audibly, while the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage was present. I thought I was just thinking to myself, but it turned out

my lips were moving. Oh, how I hate it when my lips move like that.

“What do you mean,” my wife said rather seriously, “stop having vacations?”

See what I mean. You solve one problem and another problem, were dangerous in the first problem, pops up. How do I answer that question?

After all, my wife lives for vacations. As soon as one vacation is over, she has the next vacation already planned. If it was not for her and her meticulous planning, I would never see a vacation. So, it is to her credit that I actually go on any vacation.

“Stop having vacations,” is something that I have had to retract at least audibly. So I had to explain to her, “My dear, I didn’t say stop having vacations, I meant to say stop hating vacations.” Then I flashed a smile in her direction.

“That is much better,” she said with an infectious giggle. “You know how much I really love these vacations.”

One thing I have learned as a veteran husband is that if you love what your wife loves your life will be wonderful. I really do not have to love what she loves, but if I love her, it does not matter what she loves.

Driving back from our vacation, which my wife did all the driving, I said one thing that made the drive worth driving. “Don’t we have wonderful grandchildren?”

She is still smiling over that one.

So am I. In the silence of our drive home, I began to think of what our Lord said. “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44).

Love is a very important thing, from Jesus’ perspective. You can tell a lot about a person by what and how they love. I’m going to take Jesus’ advice and just love whatever is in front of me.

OPED Study finds most of the world failing at gender equality

By Stacy M. Brown Nearly 40 percent of the world’s girls and women live in countries that are failing on gender equality, according to information compiled

by Equal Measures 2030 and its partners.

According to the website for the project, “The 2019 SDG Gender Index measures the state of gender equality aligned to 14 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 129 countries and 51 issues ranging from health, gender-based violence, climate change, decent work and others. The 2019 SDG Gender Index provides a snapshot of where the world stands, right now, linked to the vision of gender equality set forth by the 2030 Agenda.”

The index reveals that 1.4 billion girls and women are living in countries that get a “very poor” or failing grade on gender equality.

The SDG Gender Index is considered the most comprehensive tool available to measure the state of gender equality when compared to defined SDGs. The average score across the 129 countries—which represent 95 percent of the world’s girls and women—is 65.7 out of 100, which translates to a “poor” rating based upon the index’s scoring system).

No single country is the world’s best performer—or even among the world’s top ten performers—across all goals or all issues.

In 2015, world leaders from the participating countries committed to achieve gender equality by 2030 for every girl and every woman when they signed on to the ambitious goals and targets of the SDGs. “With just 11 years to go, our index finds that not a single one of the 129 countries is fully transforming their laws, policies or public budget decisions on the scale needed to reach gender equality by 2030,” Alison Holder, the director of Equal Measures 2030 said in a news release.

“We are failing to deliver on the promises of gender equality for literally billions of girls and women,” Holder said.

Overall, the world is furthest behind on gender equality issues related to public finance and better gender data (SDG 17), climate change (SDG 13), gender equality in industry and innovation (SDG 9) and—worryingly— the standalone ‘ g e n d e r equality’ goal (SDG 5).

Denmark tops the index, followed closely by Finland, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands.

The countries with the lowest scores in the index—Niger, Yemen, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Chad—have all faced conflict and fragility in recent years.

Altogether, 2.8 billion girls and women live in countries that get either a “very poor” (59 and below) or “poor” score (60—69) on gender equality.

Just 8 percent of the world’s population of girls and women live

in countries that received a “good” gender equality score (80—89) and no country achieved an “excellent” overall score of 90 or above.

The 129 countries featured in the index cover five regions—Asia and the Pacific, Europe and North

America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.

“It’s clear that even the most genderequal countries need to improve on issues like climate change, gender budgeting and public services, equal representation in powerful positions, gender pay gaps, and gender-based violence,” Holder said.

The index also shows that countries with far fewer resources are still able to tackle key gender inequalities.

Senegal, for example, has a higher percentage of women in parliament (42 percent) than Denmark (37 percent), despite Denmark’s GDP per capita being 56 times higher than that of Senegal.

Kenya has very high rates of women who use digital banking (75 percent)— hig her rates than three

quarters of the w o r l d’s countries.

Colombia has better coverage of social assistance (81 percent) amongst its poorest people than the United States (65 percent), a higher-income country.

“This report should serve as a wakeup call to the world. We won’t meet the SDGs with 40% of girls and women living in countries that are failing on gender equality,” said Melinda Gates, Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

“But the SDG Gender Index also shows that progress is possible. Many countries with the most limited

resources are making huge strides in removing the barriers for girls and women across economies, politics and society—demonstrating that when it comes to gender equality, governments shouldn’t have excuses for inaction,” Gates said.

Officials said it’s also imperative that the global community provides investment and support to fragile and conflict-affected countries— those with the lowest scores in the Index, such as Yemen, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad.

“As advocates for gender equality in Africa, we can no longer operate on presumptions and approximations,” said Memory Kachambwa, the executive director of the African Women’s Development and Communication Network—or FEMNET. “Gaps of inequalities must be marked, counted and recorded so that the trail of implementation is clear and decision makers are held to account. The SDG Gender Index will help to ensure that Africa's girls and women are counted and accounted for,” Kachambwa said.

While some issues are lagging far behind, dedicated international efforts appear to have made a difference on other issues.

Overall, countries have performed best on issues where coordinated and concerted policy focus and funding has been directed over the past 10-20 years, including on hunger and nutrition (SDG 2), water and sanitation (SDG 6), health (SDG 3) and education (SDG 4).

“With 8,000 decision-makers, advocates, and influencers gathered in Vancouver as part of the Women Deliver Conference, and over 100,000 participating around the world, we have the collective power to drive real progress on these gender equality scores and create real impact for girls and women,” said Katja Iversen, the president and CEO of Women Deliver.

Much More than Summer School

By Marian Wright Edelman Close your eyes and think about the words summer school. What comes to mind? If you picture a room full of children clapping, cheering, laughing and falling in love with reading you could be imagining the experience thousands of children across the country are about to have as they participate in the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools® program. More than 1,400 college-aged servant leader interns, site coordinators and partners came together this week for National Training at historic CDF Alex Haley Farm in Clinton, Tennessee to learn how to teach the “Freedom Schools way,” strategies for productive classroom management, and everything in between so they’ll be ready to lead the six-week summer literacy and cultural enrichment program for more than 12,000 K-12 scholars this summer.

The program’s roots are in the Mississippi Freedom Summer project of 1964, but 55 years later its mission is as urgent as ever.

Today data show the majority of public school students cannot read or compute at grade level and poor children and children of color are still particularly behind.

Hostile school environments and exclusionary discipline policies disproportionately deny children of color and children with disabilities opportunities for success and contribute to their risk of entering the school-to-prison pipeline.

Everyone today should ask the Department of Education why they are seeking to halt or reverse some

efforts to create a level education playing field for all children.

Freedom Schools fills a gap created by an unequal and unjust system.

The program stops summer learning loss using wonderful books that allow our scholars to read about their true history and see themselves in a range of age appropriate culturally diverse books selected by a distinguished committee of children’s book writers, illustrators, historians, and educators.

The CDF Freedom Schools program is designed to serve children and youth in communities

where quality academic enrichment programming is limited, too expensive, or non-existent. By partnering with schools, faith and community-based organizations, municipalities, colleges and universities, and juvenile detention facilities, the program is offered in these communities at no cost to low-income families who enroll their children. The model and the excellent, carefully-chosen books used in the multicultural Integrated Reading Curriculum are all designed to empower children to excel and believe in their ability to make a difference in themselves,

their families, communities, country and world with hope, education and action.

The CDF Freedom Schools program is also a servant leadership incubator for two generations—the children served and the collegeaged servant leader interns who teach and serve them. The teachers’ energy and enthusiasm during National Training is infectious and they carry that joy back to their classrooms throughout the summer and beyond. I am proud that many of our servant leader interns have gone on to become committed teachers, counselors,

and school administrators. We are especially eager to create a pipeline of desperately needed Black and Latino male teachers for our nation’s public schools. Not only do many servant leader interns fall in love with teaching during Freedom Schools, they also report back that they are now inspiring the next generation of teachers: “I had an activity where my scholars had to list what they wanted to be when they got older.

[One student] couldn’t write down an answer. By the end of Freedom Schools when I did the activity again, she wrote down that she wanted to become a servant leader intern and a teacher. This impacted me because I know that I have impacted her life.”

“One of my scholars keeps asking me what she can do to become a Freedom Schools intern, and that makes my heart so happy. She says she can’t imagine a summer without Freedom Schools in it, and honestly, neither can I.” “I found my voice in Freedom Schools. I found my why. Freedom Schools is built in me. It’s part of who I am.”

We will send this year’s young servant leader teachers—like the thousands we have trained before them—out to educate and empower the next generation and spend their lives committed to service for our nation’s children. They will lead us forward and deliver on our promise to create a level playing field for all children.

Marian Wright Edelman is President Emeritus of the Children's Defense Fund.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2019

NEWS Budget hearing continued from page 2

to grapple with what the real situation is with the city's finances.

"There is always room for improvement, but I think we have been dealing with how do we understand the restricted funds, what we can do with them, what are we doing with the general fund, our unfunded liabilities and how do we make sure we provide the basic services and all the other things that we want," she said. "We have never had an easy year here, and there are always unpleasant surprises when things come to light. Your city council members do not do the audits or micromanaging.

We are counting on our staff to give us the information, and as you have seen, we have gone through unbelievable turnover. Great people who were here left because they became ill from the demands of the work."

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said he went through the general fund group and found untouched, unencumbered funds during the year.

"I came up with about $8.56 million that had been there since the beginning of the fiscal year," he said. "Inquiring through staff, the majority of that money is probably focused on some kind of use

somewhere. On the Vineyard Avenue repair, we have two pots of money for that. One pot is the construction pot, that money has been encumbered, and the second pot is the street paving pot, and that money hasn't been encumbered, so it shows that it is sitting there doing nothing."

He pointed out an inherent weakness in the system and said he had to review multiple documents to figure out which money is encumbered.

He is not prepared to close station 2 and wait for another engine to respond to a fire.

"When your house is on fire, and extra three minutes is a long time to be looking at

flames," he said.

Councilman Bert Perello spoke out about a member of SEIU during public comments who accused him of "hanging the union out to dry."

"I was asked by Danny Carrillo (from SEIU) to take a meeting, and I took the meeting and the lady he brought in Lisa Cody, the lady before her called me out," he said. "She gave me questions in a machine gun fashion, I asked her to give me the questions in writing, and I would have a meeting set up with the city manager. I asked if they would take the meeting with the city manager and they didn't want to take it, they wanted to take it later. I don't know when later is, but I got the best answers I could for the young lady, and she wasn't happy."

He is not afraid to meet with any city employee and said: "anytime, anywhere."

"It doesn't mean that I agree with your position," he said. "You'd be a damn fool to think that I agree with your position if I meet with you. I'm supposed to look out for all the residents of the city who, some of them are city employees."

He spoke about needing the fire department and called 911, and they showed up.

"There is nothing like having your wife have a heart attack and die right in front of you because they tried to do CPR and it doesn't work out," he said. "I don't want that to happen to anybody. I don't like anybody telling me because they have brown skin, are poor, or live on the south side of town that it's okay for me to say that.

I don't like the text message that said it's not happening in your neighborhood. I'd like to meet you. Everybody's life is

important."

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said the Colonia Boxing Gym is more than a boxing gym and he wanted to know what it would take to keep it fully open and hoped the community would raise the money to make that happen.

"It's also a two-hand-touch football field; it's a three-onthree basketball court in the back as well," he said. "It's something for a lot of the kids."

He said people on the south end of Oxnard get ignored and closing station 2 makes them feel like they are affected.

"Those trailer parks on Pleasant Valley and Saviors, God forbid one of those catches fire because the whole thing is gone," he said. "I have an uncle that lives there, and I am not putting my life at risk, I am putting the neighbor's life at risk because the trailer park is right there at the entrance.

He stands in favor of leaving fire station two open.

Councilwoman Gabriela Basua said with 4.1 million in Measure O Funds at the end of the fiscal year 2019-2020, she can't support putting Engine 62 out of service in south Oxnard.

"Yes, it's in my district, and this is what Measure O is designed to do, vital services for fire and police," she said.

"I am not willing to put that truck out of service when we will end up with a $4.1 million surplus. I would be doing a disservice to the people who put me in this chair if I say yes, let's do that."

Council Member Vianey Lopez asked Nguyen to give more information on the $4.1 million surplus in Measure O, and he said when everything was crumbling in the city, the

tax went from enhancing life in Oxnard to a life preserver that will expire in eight years.

"When I first looked at the city's budget before I applied for the job, I was shocked that an entire fire station, the building, the staffing, and the equipment was wholly reliant on a temporary half-cent sales tax," he said. "All these items that Measure O has been funding to the tune of $16 million a year is going to end."

Mayor Tim Flynn said the council members had abdicated their authority to make decisions about the budget.

"We paid a consultant several years ago $70,000 to start priority-based budgeting, and that requires a lot of time, and it occurs over a multiyear period," he said. "I am strongly recommending to the city manager and the finance committee members that we get started in the fall on next year's budget."

He applauded Nguyen and said he put together a great team, is very experienced, and Flynn supports the budget as presented.

"It's up to us to vett it and put it out to the public," Flynn said.

He said Nguyen is trying to stop the city from operating by the seat of its pants and he is catching a lot of heat about the fire station, the Colonia Gym, and library and everything else.

"The bottom line is you've got to cut something, and if it's not one group that is going to be here it's going to be another group that is going to be here," he said. "I'm open to working with my colleagues, that's what I was elected to do, but the time is now."

students," she said. "This fundraiser is for clothes for people who need it or backpacks.

The teachers recommend kids who need clothes."

She skipped breakfast and

was starving.

"I'll probably have two pancakes," she said.

Lions Member Tomas Garcia loves being part of the organization's service projects and said the secret to a good pancake is good batter and do not overmix it.

"It's easy to do and a lot of fun," he said. "Once we're all done and everybody's gone, we're the last ones to eat."

The kids were watching Garcia work the flat top and flip those cakes.

"We're right off the street, so it worked out fine," he said. People are driving by and saying what's going on?"

Eighth Grader Adan said the pancakes are perfect.

"I like them, and like putting a lot of syrup on them to give them a lot of taste," he said. "I skipped breakfast, so I am hungry."

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. 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 and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Tereso Gomez, married Recorded: 8/3/2007 as Instrument No. 20070803-00152787-0 and modified as per Modification Agreement recorded 3/1/2012 as Instrument No. 2012030100036277 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of VENTURA County, California; Date of Sale: 6/25/2019 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the main entrance to the Government Center Hall of Justice, 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA 93003 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $942,379.53 The purported property address is: 4746 LA PUMA COURT, CAMARILLO, CA 93012 Assessor's Parcel No.: 160-0-382-135 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 855 238-5118 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18833709-AB. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by DIANE MARY HENSON in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that DIANE MARY HENSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act . (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 in this court as follows: 07/10/19 at 9:00AM in Dept. J6 located at 4353 E. VINEYARD AVENUE, OXNARD, CA 93036 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

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. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed or 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.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14651819-HL. 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. The undersigned Trustee

disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

tion: Parcel 82A, As Shown On A Parcel Map Filed In Book 21, Page 73 Of Parcel Maps, In The Office Of The County Recorder Of Said County. Commonly known as: 3227 Village #3, Camarillo, CA 93012 The sale will be held at main entrance to Government Center Hall of Justice, 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid an estimate of $402,852.50.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $40,285.25 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $40,285.25 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence.

This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD field office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $402,852.50, as of 7/1/2019, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

NAVARRETE. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by KAROLINE MARTINEZ in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that KAROLINE MARTINEZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (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 7/24/2019 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed 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. 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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18-837566-RY. 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 at-

tend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee.

This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

HEALTH Children, teens face significant pressures that affect mental health UNDERSTANDING EARLY SIGNS AND A WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN ARE KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT

By Staff Reports PASADENA—When it comes to today’s youth, many are overwhelmed with social, school, athletic and cultural pressures. However, too much stress and worrying can be problematic for children and teens. That’s especially true when anxiety starts to get in the way of everyday life, and begins to affect a child’s mental health.

Anabel Basulto, a licensed marriage and family therapist with Kaiser Permanente Southern California, says while progress has been made in reducing the stigma of mental health conditions, it can be especially challenging for children and teens to open up about depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions.

The increased exposure to technology has contributed to the stress children and teens face today,” Basulto said. Social media websites that provide information on real time about activities and self-image serve as a means to measure if you are accepted.

Acceptance is an important part of adolescent development, and to be left out can be a symbol of rejection. As a result, children and teens internalize this as rejection, which leads to depression and anxiety.

In addition, Basulto added the increased use of filters and photoshop leads to an unrealistic way of how one should look. For example, the use of celebrity social media and taking the perfect “selfie” make children and teens idolize and seek the perfect look. There has been an increase of depression, anxiety and eating disorder due to the inability to match of what social media defines as beautiful. This can result in changes in mood, increased irritability and issues with self-esteem.

“Periodic bad moods or mood swings can be normal in kids,

especially teens,” Basulto explained.

“When it goes beyond a temporary phase or an occasional event, it can be a sign of something more serious, such as a mental health condition that requires attention.”

According to a recent Pew Research study, seven in 10 teens say anxiety and depression are major problems among their peers. Half of all chronic mental health conditions begins by age 14, including three-quarters by age 24.

Reaching them early and providing interventions is critical to improving the mental health of children.

“While conversations around mental health conditions continue to increase as there’s less stigma, these issues can still be challenging

to address, especially for a parent,” Basulto said.

Basulto provided these helpful tips for parents and/or loved ones to start a conversation with their children regarding mental health issues: • Speak with your child or teen on their level based on their age. Let him or her know you are concerned and then just listen. Ask questions based on what they say and listen some more.

• Be present. Sometimes just being in the same room sends a message that you are available if they need to talk. If they start to talk, put down what you are doing to signal you want to hear what they have to say.

• Empathize. Don’t dismiss what they are feeling. Show them you

understand what they are going through and that you are there to help.

Remain respectful and offer hope.

• Assess how they are doing at home, school and socially. While problems in any one of these areas may be cause for concern, problems in two or more may indicate that it’s time to get some professional help.

• Talk to your pediatrician. If necessary, seek a diagnosis and discuss an appropriate care plan. Treatment can vary based on severity of symptoms, but can include counseling, behavioral therapy, support groups and/or medication.

“Whether a child is dealing with depression or anxiety — or both — it’s important to let them know they’re

FDA: 'Influencers' promoted vaping without suitable warnings

By Matthew Perrone WASHINGTON (AP)— U.S. regulators moved to discipline vaping companies for inappropriately promoting their flavored nicotine formulas through so-called influencers on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites.

The Food and Drug Administration sent warning letters Friday to four companies that used paid social media influencers to pitch nicotine solutions to their online followers, including flavors like Watermelon Patch and Strawberry Kiwi.

The posts didn't include a mandatory warning that the vaping liquids contain nicotine, which is addictive. The FDA, joined by the Federal Trade Commission, sent the letters to Solace Vapor, Hype City Vapors, Humble Juice Co. and Artist Liquid Labs. The companies did not immediately return calls and emails seeking comment Friday morning.

Facebook prohibits e-cigarette ads even with warnings and the FTC has been pressuring influencers— people with many social media followers who promote products and services—to disclose when they are being paid to endorse something.

The action comes as the FDA and other government agencies struggle to reverse what they call an epidemic of underage e-cigarette use. Researchers have linked the trend to a surge in online videos, photos and other posts about vaping,

not alone, and that help is available,” Basulto said. “This can help encourage children to talk about what they’re experiencing in order to ensure they receive effective treatment.”

As part of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest integrated health plan, is offering tips and advice to parents on how to identify and have a conversation about mental health issues with their children. The Find Your Words and Encuentra que decir websites aim to help reduce the stigma around depression and motivate people to talk openly about mental health conditions. The websites include tools for support, including a tip sheet for parents.

The FDA letters do not mention Juul, which dominates the U.S. e-cigarette market.

The Silicon Valley startup is widely credited with helping trigger an explosion in vaping with its early viral marketing, which included paid posts and referrals by social media influencers.

After coming under intense scrutiny last year, Juul shuttered its Facebook and Instagram accounts in November.

Since then, the company has reworked its marketing to focus on older adult smokers who are interested in quitting cigarettes.

In response to written questions from Senate lawmakers, Juul said in April it does not currently use paid social media influencers.

LOS ANGELES (AP)—California officially gave its blessing to coffee Monday, declaring the beverage does not pose a “significant” cancer risk.

The rule, proposed a year ago by regulators, means coffee won't have to carry ominous warnings that the beverage may be bad for you.

The state took the rare move after a Los Angeles judge found Starbucks Corp. and other companies failed to show that benefits from drinking coffee outweighed risks from a byproduct of the roasting process.

That ruling put the industry in jeopardy of hefty civil penalties and in the position of either developing a process to remove the chemical or warning consumers about the risk of cancer.

The chemical in question, acrylamide, is on a list that California says causes cancer, though other groups classify it as a “probable” carcinogen.

Under a law passed more than three decades ago by California voters, products that contain chemicals that cause cancer or birth defects must warn consumers about those risks.

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, which implements the law, concluded there was no significant risk after a World Health Organization review of more than 1,000 studies and found inadequate evidence that coffee causes cancer. Further, it concluded coffee reduces the risk of some types of cancer.

“Coffee is a complex mixture of hundreds of chemicals that includes both carcinogens and anti-carcinogens,” said Sam Delson, a spokesman for the agency. “The overall effect of coffee consumption is not associated with any significant cancer risk.”

It was the first time the state has declared such a brew of chemicals safe despite the presence of carcinogens, Delson said.

The coffee industry cheered the rule.

“This is a great day for science and coffee lovers,” said William Murray, president and chief executive of the National Coffee Association USA. “With this news, coffee drinkers around the world can wake up and enjoy the smell and taste of their coffee without hesitation.”

25 years after murders, OJ says 'Life is fine'

By Linda Deutsch LOS ANGELES (AP)—After 25 years living under the shadow of one of the nation's most notorious murder cases, O.J. Simpson says his life has entered a phase he calls the “no negative zone.”

In a telephone interview, the 71-year-old Simpson told The Associated Press he is healthy and happy living in Las Vegas. And neither he nor his children want to look back by talking about June 12, 1994, when his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death and Simpson was transformed from Hall of Fame football hero to murder suspect.

“We don't need to go back and relive the worst day of our lives,” he said. “The subject of the moment is the subject I will never revisit again.

My family and I have moved on to what we call the ‘no negative zone.'

We focus on the positives.”

But the pain has not faded for Goldman's family.

“Closure,” said Goldman's sister Kim, “isn't a word that resonates with me. I don't think it's applicable when it comes to tragedy and trauma and loss of life.”

“I don't suffocate in my grief,” she said. “But every milestone that my kid hits, every milestone that I hit, you know, those are just reminders of what I'm not able to share with my brother and what he is missing out on.”

Ron Goldman, then 25, was returning a pair of sunglasses that Nicole Brown Simpson's mother had left at a restaurant where he worked when he and Simpson's ex-wife were stabbed and slashed dozens of times.

He plays golf almost every day … and he recently had laser surgery on his eyes.

O.J. Simpson's televised “Trial of the Century” lasted nearly a year and became a national obsession, fraught with issues of racism, police misconduct, celebrity and domestic violence.

Represented by a legal “Dream Team” that included Johnnie Cochran Jr. and F. Lee Bailey, he was acquitted by a jury in 1995 in a verdict that seemed to split the country along racial lines, with many white Americans believing he got away with murder and many black people considering him innocent.

He has continued to declare his innocence. The murder case is officially listed as unsolved.

The victims' families subsequently filed a civil suit against him, and in 1997 he was ordered to pay $33.5 million for the wrongful deaths of his ex-wife and Goldman. Some of his property was seized and auctioned, but most of the judgment has not been paid.

For a man who once lived for the spotlight , Simpson has generally kept a low profile since his release from prison in October 2017 after serving nine years for a robbery and kidnapping conviction in Las Vegas. He insisted his conviction and sentence for trying to steal back his own memorabilia were unfair but said: “I believe in the legal system

and I honored it. I served my time.”

After his release from prison in Nevada, many expected him to return to Florida, where he had lived for several years. But friends in Las Vegas persuaded him to stay there.

“The town has been good to me,” Simpson said. “Everybody I meet seems to be apologizing for what happened to me here.”

His time in the city hasn't been without controversy. A month after his release, an outing to a steakhouse and lounge off the Las Vegas Strip ended in a dispute. Simpson was ordered off the property and barred from returning.

No such problems have occurred

Jon Meacham, Tim McGraw explore American history in song

By Kristin M. Hall NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP)—On a recent spring day inside Tim McGraw's sprawling Nashville mansion, the country superstar got a friendly ribbing from his friend and neighbor, Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential biographer Jon Meacham.

McGraw was wearing his typical black cowboy hat and was tanned from one of his recent spear fishing trips.

Meacham, a journalist, author and professor, wore a dress shirt and khakis, and held an unlit cigar in his hand.

“I'm smoking cigars and he's lifting weights,” Meacham remarked. “Mr. Healthy!”

What this “Odd Couple” duo does have in common is a love of history and a new book they wrote together, “Songs of America: Patriotism, Protest, and the Music That Made a Nation,” out on Tuesday. They were in rehearsals for a book tour that's unlike anything the two of them have done before, a mixture of songs and lectures on American history and culture, starting Monday in New York City.

At McGraw's house, they laid out copious notes and lyric sheets as they worked through their program, which will include Meacham talking about the book and McGraw singing a few songs that relate to the themes. McGraw won't be singing any of his chart-topping hit songs on the seven-city book tour, but instead he'll be covering some of the songs mentioned in the

book, even a song from before the Revolutionary War called “The Liberty Song.”

“It allowed me to use such a different part of my brain and such a different part of my artistry,” McGraw told The Associated Press.

The two took a break from rehearsals to snack on pizza, while Faith Hill, McGraw's wife, brought over some iced tea. The friendship between the historian and the Grammywinning country star began when Meacham invited his neighbors McGraw and Hill to a dinner party. McGraw, who had read Meacham's books on American presidents, was

initially shy around Meacham and his friends.

“I remember sitting back in his library and they were smoking cigars and talking about history, politics and current events and it was just really enjoyable to me,” McGraw said.

Seven years later, McGraw said he's more confident in keeping up with Meacham's encyclopedic knowledge of history, politics and people.

Last year, McGraw asked Meacham if he had ever considered writing about the impact that music has had on American politics. Meacham was surprised that he hadn't

really thought about that himself.

“Believe me, I hate to give him any credit,” Meacham joked, to which McGraw replied, “Especially intellectual credit.”

The book starts with the birth of the country, years before the Declaration of Independence, and goes through the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and the 2008 election of Barack Obama. The songs cover a wide range of American musical touchstones, from battlefield songs like “Yankee Doodle Dandy” to Choctaw songs and African-American spirituals, to civil rights anthems like “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” to more modern rock and country songs like “Born in the U.S.A.” and “Okie from Muskogee.”

Especially in times of deep political divide, music has reflected the nation's conflicts.

McGraw writes eloquently about the song “I Wish I Was in Dixie Land,” an anthem of the Confederacy, and having to reconcile his memories of growing up in the South with knowing what the song means.

“That song strikes an emotional chord, but intellectually, I know instinctively that song is a racist song,” McGraw said.

Said Meacham: “My view of writing history and biography is, complexity is your friend.

And to me what was so interesting about looking at history through the aperture of music was how consistently the music reflects the conflicts of the time.”

since, and Simpson is among the most sought-after figures in town for selfies with those who encounter him at restaurants or athletic events he attends occasionally.

He plays golf almost every day.

The knees that helped him run to football glory at the University of Southern California and with the NFL's Buffalo Bills have been replaced, and he recently had laser surgery on his eyes.

“I've been to Florida two or three times to see the kids and my old buddies in Miami. I even managed to play a game of golf with them,” he said. “But I live in a town I've learned to love. Life is fine.”

Julia Roberts, Spike Lee Toast Denzel Washington’s Lifetime of Achievement

By Lindsey Bahr LOS ANGELES (AP)—Denzel Washington was the man of the hour Thursday night with everyone from Julia Roberts to Spike Lee turning out to celebrate him as this year's recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award.

But when he finally took the stage to accept the honor he did something unexpected: At his own award ceremony, Washington turned the spotlight away from himself and gave his wife of 40 years, Pauletta Washington, her own standing ovation.

The crowd of multigenerational Hollywood A-listers, from Michael B. Jordan and Mahershala Ali to Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman, readily obliged.

“I would not be alive without Pauletta Washington,” Washington said. “I wouldn't survive.”

It's a difficult task to have a moment stand out in an evening that included a surprise Beyonce appearance (there briefly to present an honor to director Melina Matsoukas) and an earth shattering rendition of Sam Cooke's “A Change is Gonna Come” by Jennifer Hudson that brought Washington to his feet, but he managed to do it.

As Roberts, Tyson and others attested throughout the evening, two-time Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington is a family man first. Seated alongside Pauletta Washington, his son Malcolm Washington, Lee, Tyson and directors Carl Franklin and Ed Zwick, the 64-year-old was for two hours taken on an emotional tour through his storied career in Hollywood—from eager newcomer to movie star to acclaimed director—by those who were by his side.

“We're all here because we love Denzel,” said Lee, who has directed Washington in four movies ("Mo' Better Blues,” “He Got Game,” “Malcolm X” and “Inside Man”).

“Denzel represents our Black manhood.”

Lee, the final speaker of the evening, likened Washington to other “G.O.A.Ts” (greatest of all time) like Michael Jordan, Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis.

“That's the rarefied air that Denzel Washington lives and breathes in,” Lee said.

Lee also said that, although he might be biased, “Malcolm X is the greatest performance ever committed to celluloid.”
