FATHER’S DAY CRUISE IS A CLASSIC GOOD TIME

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- It was a great night in Oxnard, June 21, as the Father’s Day Cruise on Saviers Road brought out a big crowd, lots of classic cars and a familiar roar from classic muscle cars, big luxurious rides, and unique antiques.

D

ADS and their children filled the streets, while fans watched and cheered the group. The evening was a welcome respite from COVID-19 blues, and for a few hours, it felt like a regular Sunday night.

Dr. Robin Harkins brought his father and his 1964 Chevy Impala Super sport with four-on-the-floor to the cruise night.

He’s owned the car for seven years.

He said there are a lot of great cars, but

People who want to sign the petition against the action should follow the link on the sign.

FATHER JUNIPERO SERRA STATUE REMOVAL PROTEST STIRS DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER HE’S TRULY A SAINT

By Chris Frost chris@tricoun­tysen­­try.com Ventura-- As resi­ dents enjoyed a pleasant afternoon at the Main Street moves event downtown, June 20, up the block at city hall, protesters took aim at the Statue of Father Junipero Serra determined to drum up support to take it down.

Finance and Governance learns of one medium whistleblower complaint

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Finance and Government Committee received its quarterly whistleblower complaint update during its June 23 meeting and received 12 new complaints for review.

Nine of the 12 complaints were related to concerns about COVID-19.

Those complaints alleged there were non-essential companies still

operating, with a request for an investigation.

Henry Oum from Price Paige & Company presented the item to the committee and said the City of Oxnard monitors the whistleblower program.

The update focuses on new activity between March and June 4. Oxnard established the whistleblower program in 2017 so city employees or residents can report improper governmental action.

The general public has several avenues to report fraud, waste, and abuse, he said. They can go to the city’s website, report the concern, which takes that person to the Price Paige website, and that person can fill out a form.

That information goes directly to the audit firm, not the city.

People can also call the hotline number or email Price Paige & Company.

All complaints remain confidential, and the complainant’s

identity is not made public without that person’s specific permission.

The only exception is if the matter needs law enforcement to be involved.

“We do receive a number of allegations; however, the internal auditors only focus on investigating fiscal-related matters,” Oum said.

“We do receive other matters from time to time, and they are forwarded to the appropriate department.” n Finance and Governance, see page 7

Don’t poke the bear

I

F you haven’t figured it out yet, life at my house is not like Happy Days. I remain a square peg, eternally trying to fit it the round hole.

Just for fun, let’s review one issue while I type on my porch because all my furniture is gone.

For some context, one of the things I’ve noticed while stuck in the house is that the furnishings we own make me think that we can do better than owning chic garage sale leftovers.

Okay, I’ll be the first one to tell you that I am cheap, but I had to agree with the J-Train when she says that our house is a mess.

With that said, I grabbed my wallet and headed over to the furniture store, ready for an upgrade. Janis and I agreed that we were not going to remake the house

all at once, but a room-by-room upgrade can fit into our budget.

The first room we did was the bedroom, as our bed looks like a prop from the 1950s. Okay, I gave Janis a price range, and like always, she took that as a starting point in the famous game called let’s see what I can get away with until Chris gets pissed.

We got through it, and I only sighed 50 times, which is good for me. One month later, we decided that new living room furniture is a great idea.

Problem!!!

We went back to the furniture store, and she picked out the stuff she liked. We waited a week, and the night before delivery, I hauled the old crap out and cleaned the entire living room.

I cleared my calendar and was up bright and early to receive our new items. Then, the delivery driver came in and announced the hardware for the legs were missing.

The driver kept going about his business, and I reminded him that if he expects me to sign a document that says I’ve received this furniture, he is out of his mind.

We’re up to the first eyerolling episode of the day. He calls customer care, and before I know it, the customer care expert (I say that ironically) tells me that she can set me up for another delivery in six days. n Frosted Thoughts, see page 11

NEWS California grapples with a budget shortfall

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc in the State of California’s 2020-2021 budget, and legislators have spent many hours trying to come up with solutions, much like cities across the state.

T

HIS is also an election year, as Assembly Member Monique Limón and Gary Michaels vie for Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson’s seat, who has reached her term limit.

Limón responded via email and issued the following statement about what cuts would be made to the budget to manage the issue: “The state of emergency brought by the pandemic has significantly impacted the California budget. I recently voted in favor of a budget that preserves programs serving those who are most vulnerable, avoids drastic cuts to education, prevents middle-class tax increases, and invests in small businesses. This was a very different budget year that required difficult

conversations and decisions.

The California budget is based upon the hope that federal funds will be available to help states fight the pandemic and endure the economic hardships that all 50 states are facing.”

Limon did not specifically outline what services would be cut, if any, but did say difficult decisions had to be made. She did not say what the state will do if relief from the federal government does not arrive.

Michaels agrees with Limón and said a tax hike is not a good idea.

“Raising taxes in a recession is a very bad move,” he said. “Obviously, when you see cities looking at the state level, where people are looking at taking apart Prop 13, which reduced property tax rates on homes.

We’re flying at a budget

of about $220 billion, and when you have something as astronomical as that, and you have to keep funding it, and all the retiree-unfunded liabilities, and the retiree medical benefits. When you have to fund all this stuff, and you have such a steep severe downturn, many in the senate are trying to increase taxes.”

What Michaels hasn’t seen is an audited report from the state controller or any report where they’ve gone through the various departments, including K12 education, and looked at cutting staff at the state level.

“I have seen staff cuts at the county and local level, but I haven’t seen anything at the state level,” he said.

One source of revenue the state can access is money set aside for the proposed high-speed rail system.

Michaels believes there is approximately $3 billion in that fund.

“Where we should have started is an audit and evaluation of the departments around the state,” he said. “There should be an effort made at that

level to cut funding, a serious effort, but there has been no effort made.”

He said the goal is to continue to keep flying at the same level that the state always does.

“The problem with that is that this might be a longterm problem that will take several years to fix,” Michaels said. “If you don’t get in front of it now, it’s only going to get worse later. I would throw the ball back to the governor and the state controller and ask them what’s been done in the way of budget and staff cuts. Where are we at with this? Be specific.”

If the state takes its savings from the high-speed rail

project and gives it to K12 school funding, he said it would mitigate the reduction to Prop 13.

California already allocates 40 percent of its budget to education, and Michaels said, laying off educators and cutting services at school is a bad idea with potentially dire consequences.

“Oxnard has one of the worst track records for state assessment scoring in all the school districts,” he said.

“I know they are going to restrain those tests for this coming year. This, to me, is the time to make some sweeping changes there. This has been going on for five or

six years. It’s time to clean house, and this is a great opportunity to do that.”

He said Limón and Jackson hadn’t done much to fix the issue in the school districts, because they get a lot of funding from the unions.

“The unions have probably gotten in the way here for student achievement,” Michaels said.

Because of COVID-19, Michaels said SAT scores would not be done at the college level.

“These problems in high school are going to be finding their way upward into college,” he said. “It’s a problem that will probably surface in three to five years, because of what’s going on.”

As CalPERS continues to struggle, and Michaels said Governor Newsome must show some leadership and form a committee to do something about the problems, before COVID-19 and the financial shortfall makes it worse.

“We need to end the golden salaries,” he said.

“The big problem is that people want contributions to retirement and pay raises at the same time. We can’t do that. Action has to be taken at Newsome’s level.”

DINING

Chimichurri Chimichurri is an Argen­tinian meat condiment. It is the perfect compliment to cut the richness of fatty meats with bright herby flavors.

I

Chuck Roast

MADE this on a Live Instagram with @ ChefJoannas (every Thursday at 11am PST) and then proceeded to use it to Marinate a Chuck Roast I had in the fridge. I marinated for

Chuck Roast - 2.5 lb Chuck Roast - 2 Yellow Onion

about 4 hours before braising the Roast for 3 hours.

Braising is a technique where you first sear or char the outside of your meat and then bake or roast until the meat is fully cooked. For less tender cuts, the end result is juicy, melt in your mouth, deliciousness.

I finished this meal off with some macaroni noodles and crispy pan

seared brussels sprouts.

Chimichurri 1 bushel Parsley 1 bushel Cilantro 4 cloves Garlic ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 3 Tablespoons Vinegar - Salt - - - -

To Make Chimichurri Wash and chop all the parsley and cilantro. Then Combine all of the ingredients together. You can either combine all the ingredients in bowl and call it good, or for a finer sauce you can blend them in a mixer. I like a little more chunk to mine so I usually just chop and mix, skipping the blending.

Chuck Roast Marinate the roast in Chimichurri.

For as long as you can. If you need to cook right away, go for it. Just having it on the roast will make it better. But if you have the time, marinate for up to 24 hours. The longer the better.

Sear the roast on both sides for 3-4 minutes. You want to see some char.

This locks in the juices. Transfer to aluminum foil or better yet, a Dutch oven. Chop onion into 1/8th and surround the roast. Cover or seal.

Bake for 3 hours on 300°.

Marvel at your creation! This will be juicy, tender, and melt in your mouth good.

One Note: Resist the temptation to open the roast while baking for at least 2 hours. You will have a better product if you can let it be.

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

Main Street Moves

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

brings Ventura together safely

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Ventura--On a pleasant Saturday afternoon, residents came armed with their debit cards, ready to shop in downtown Ventura, as the Main Street Moves initiative meant busy stores and restaurants.

F

OLKS enjoyed the day and all the amenities, but they mostly came to get their shop on.

The roads downtown were closed, which meant attendees could saunter, enjoy outdoor cafes, and bring business back to the city.

As with many other cities, COVID-19 meant store closures, revenue loss, and people out of work in Ventura.

Main Street Moves was an effort by the economic development department in the city to fix that issue while making sure that proper social distance measures were in place.

Charlie, a Golden Retriever and Mochi, half English Bulldog, and one-quarter Pug and Poodle decided to take a few minutes to have some fun.

Kyle Fegley was out taking his granddaughter and Mochi out for the day to have some excitement.

“We’ve been taking Mochi out here for the last couple of days, too,” he said. “It’s definitely livening things up downtown. We live a

lots of money.

“Since the quarantine, we’ve been trying to support the local businesses a little bit more,” she said. “We went to Finneys last night for dinner. We spent a good amount there.”

She is happy to have the businesses open again.

“I’ve gotten a lot of home projects

block away, so it’s nice to have a little more community going around.”

Kyle said there were no evil plans to spend a lot of money, but he did glance over to his girlfriend and laughed when he said that.

“We’re going out for lunch and dinner,” he said. “We spend a lot of time down here anyway at the Goodwill Store and Thrift Stores.”

Amy Wiggins grinned and said there were no evil plans to spend

done,” she said about being home during COVID-19. “We can use a little more Netflix and more variety, I guess.”

Granddaughter Harlee Rae was all excited to be downtown.

“She missed a nap, so she was fussy, but she hasn’t fussed since we’ve been on our walk,” Amy said.

“I have a feeling that she is going to stay awake until she goes home and sleeps for them.”

She finished her headboard during the COVID-19 lockdown.

“We put together a whole bed, and I painted a headboard,” she said. “It’s a geometrical headboard.”

Kyle’s most ambitious project has been taking care of Mochi.

“We got her in Jan right before all this went down,” he said. “You can’t socialize a dog until it gets a few of its shots. I get more time at home with the dog and family.”

He is also the singer in a David Bowie tribute band called “Blackstar.”

“My drummer lives down here, and he got his HOA to approve a social distance concert,” he said, “We sang for a couple of hours, everybody got home for dinner, and it was a good time.”

He has his favorite Bowie songs.

“My favorite one to sing is Young Americans,” he said. “My favorite song is Changes and Quicksand.”

Karly Ward from Brooklyn Charm said the original store opened in Brooklyn about 10 years ago, and the owner is originally from Ventura County.

“She wanted to have a store close to home,” she said. “The owner goes back-and-forth throughout the year.”

The original Brooklyn Charm is in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.

Ward said COVID-19 hurt them

a lot.

“Our shop in Williamsburg still hasn’t been able to open up,” she said. “We’re still able to do our online orders. We do a lot of business online.”

She loves having all the people come back and browse, while she creates.

“That’s more fun for us,” she said.

“I enjoy making things for people.

It makes me happy; I’m a creative person and making other people’s creation happen for them is fun.”

B.on Main Proprietress Carol Barcellos said her shop is operating in the new face mask normal.

“Business has been great, and I am excited about that,” she said. “I am still concerned about the spread of the coronavirus. The closure is going to be helpful for the health of downtown. People come here because we are a destination. High

tides raise all boats.”

Carol had a meeting with her staff about social distancing and being safe, which was one of the reasons why they didn’t open on Memorial Day weekend.

“We had a meeting, went over all the protocols, and I told them what I had in place,” she said. “We put arrows down, and they know to wash their hands and keep their masks on. We sanitize all the time, and I brought a cleaning crew that comes in and cleans at night. A lot of it is common sense.”

While she was closed, Carol said she reorganized her back room, where there were weird things in weird places.

“Two weeks before we reopened, I came in and tore every display apart, cleaned everything, and I redisplayed everything,” she said.

“I made it look like a brand-new store. Then, I had one of my exemployees come in, and he does these incredible 360 tours. He filmed the whole store.”

B.on Main has something for everyone.

“I work hard to make sure that everything I have is different and unusual,” she said. “I work not to duplicate things that other people carry downtown.”

The store also has different vignettes that speak to people’s interests.

“The front of the store is ocean beach themed,” she said. “I have my bee section, which is all about the birds and bees, and then we have a section called “Booze, Blues, and Brews, which is about cocktails, beer, and rock n’ roll.”

Carol’s favorite section is the science section.

“My sister is a scientist, and it’s all about science and space,” she said. “We have maps, geography, astronaut stuff, and Mr. Spock.”

She said the happy camper section is popular.

“That’s all about camping and outdoors,” she said. “I carry a lot of cookbooks, and I started carrying women’s clothing.”

NEWS Father’s Day continued from page 1

he loves the Impala.

“I like the black bow tie classic look,” he said. “Like any other car enthusiast, the car speaks to you, and this one spoke to me and said, look, this is you.”

Harkins said the 1964 Impala is an iconic ride.

“There were conversations of divorce, here and there, when you’re talking about getting car parts and putting more money into the car,” he said about spending all his allowance on his Impala. “It’s an investment and a bank account on wheels.”

Harkins called it a fellow’s only event, while his wife stayed home with the kids and prepared a special Father’s Day dinner.

“It’s my dad, my brother-in-law, and his son,” he said. “My kids are little, but I hope to one day bring my little guy out and keep the tradition going and pass this car to him and go from there.”

To Harkins, the toughest part about being a dad is being a positive role model.

“You have to make sure you don’t do anything to ruin their chances,” he said. “Understand they are going to make their own mistakes, and you have to live with that. They have a life of their own, and one thing I wouldn’t want to do is put any of my traits on him.

I let him learn as he goes. That’s the only thing you can do; create a good foundation for your son or daughter and pray they keep that foundation. Ultimately, you don’t want to hold them back.”

Dad Ted Harkins said going to

the Father’s Day Cruise Night is a wonderful time.

“Since my grandson was born, it’s brought us closer together,” he said. “It’s made Father’s Day an important thing.”

Ted said the best way to get Robin over the rough spots growing up was to play the kid raising a kid.

“That helped a lot,” Ted said. “I wasn’t the best dad, but I wasn’t the worst. I was always there.”

He is always proud of his son and reminisced about a favorite memory.

Robin interjected that his first car was a 1973 Volkswagon.

“He had a problem with the car, and we had some car insurance,” Ted said. “We towed that thing from Oxnard to Santa Monica, and he (the mechanic) would do the top-notch stuff,” Robin added.

From there, Robin graduated and got his Doctorate and started his own practice.

“The Impala set the tone for me to have a more bow tie classy look,” he said.

Robin said his favorite memory of his father was traveling with him.

“He was the kid, the best friend, so it was impactful,” he said. “Those memories are hard to choose the best one.”

Ted remembers bringing Robin to Disneyworld.

“That was expensive, but it was well worth it,” Ted said. “It was a fun time.”

After the cruise, the duo looked forward to a great dinner.

“My wife is making ribeye steaks, and some loaded baked potatoes,” Robin said. “We’re keeping it simple and classy. That’s the motto.”

Anthony brought his 1984 Cadilac Fleetwood Brougham with a trunk full of hydraulics, including eight batteries and three square dumps from front to back in the trunk.

“It’s basic, simple and clean,” he said. “I can take it up and down, from the front to the back.”

He loves driving his Cadillac.

“It’s a classic old-school riding vehicle,” he said. “Look at the trunk. It looks like it was made for this. It’s a great car. The ride is so smooth, and if you look at the inside, you feel like you are sitting on a couch.”

Once on the road, Anthony likes to put the hydraulics in action.

“That’s what they’re for,” he said.

“It’s a big man’s toy.”

It’s an expensive hobby, and he admits the caddy cost him a lot of cash.

“You have to pay to play,” he said. “If you can’t pay, you can’t play. It’s great today. Look at all the family and friends. It’s good times.”

Anthony’s Aunt Becky Pena said she doesn’t ever coach Anthony on how to spend money on his car.

“I was surprised,” Becky said.

“He did it on his own, and today is the first time I’ve seen the truck, and I was like, wow. He knows what he is doing.”

She loves seeing all her friends for the first time in a while.

“Especially with this COVID going on,” she said. “Everyone is smiling and having a good time.

God, we needed this. My dad was a Pachuco when he was alive in the 1940s. It’s a tradition. My late husband was in a car club.”

She doesn’t see herself owning a hot rod.

“It’s a lot of maintenance to keep it up,” she said. “I see myself as a passenger.”

Diane “Momz Kids” Avila came out to see friends and participate with her sister. They both brought motorcycles. She thought Anthony has a beautiful car.

“I had a 1984 Cadillac just like that when I was younger,” she said. “This is awesome and full of positive vibes. It’s better than all the negativity in the world right now.”

Steve Quesada brought his 1963 Buick Riviera to the event and said 12 years ago; he fell in love with the body style.

“It’s sharp and different from any Chevy,” he said.

The car cost him lots of money, and his family snickered at the question.

“I found four of the five accessories for this car, and I only need one more,” he said. “I need the tachometer.”

Steve pulls no punches about the car’s performance.

“It’s a fast car,” he said. “The engine is 445 cubic inches.”

His first car was a 1962 Chevy Impala, but he decided to change to Buick because you don’t see them too often.

“All the Chevys are a dime a dozen,” he said. “There are maybe one or two Rivieras in Oxnard. I like cruising and all the attention.

It’s fun.”

Martine Montejano knows how much money Steve spends on his car and laughs.

“I know how much he spends and how much the parts are,” he said. “They’re pretty pricey for something so small and intricate, and hard to find.”

He loves riding with his fatherin-law when he is out cruising.

“It’s cool,” he said. “The compliments, the waves, people look at the car and talk about it.”

Martine loves the ambiance on Saviers Road.

“It feels pretty good being out here on a Sunday night in the summer,” he said. “I’m going to go see my dad tonight and give him a gift and eat some Menudo.”

Josie Montejano admits to being the instigator and encourages Steve to open it up and see how fast the Riviera can go.

“He always does,” she said. “I grew up around cars all my life.

The 1959 Impala is my favorite.”

She loves taking a break from COVID-19 and isolated at home.

“We can forget about it for a little bit and then go back to reality,” she said.

NEWS COVID-19 spoils a good year in Oxnard

Oxnard completes many CIP projects

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The conversation about the City of Oxnard’s proposed two percent sales tax hike continues with financial management, transparency, audits, gas tax bonds, the improved bond outlook, and the auditor letter.

T

HE city revealed its plan during an INCO (Inter Neighborhood Council Meeting) held via Zoom, June 11, and said the 2 percent sales tax increase would go to the voters for approval.

City Manager Alex Nguyen said Oxnard made significant improvements with its financial management. The city finally got to the point where they launched the financial portal on the city website.

“That allows you to review all the funds and accounts in the city easily,” he said. “If you really want to dive into, not just the general fund, but the enterprise fund, all the information is there. You can dice it, slice it, and view it in so many different ways. It’s all there, and it is constantly updated.”

The city’s auditor found no new material weaknesses for the first time since 2014, he said, which has been an area of concern for many years.

“We’ve made tremendous progress this past year, alone,” he said. “Standard & Poor’s revised its outlook for us from stable to positive, which is a good step to be taking.

They didn’t up our grade yet, but it’s a signal that they are preparing to. They sent us a nine-page memo. They didn’t focus on the finances so much, as they focused on the stability, organization, and the improvement of the finance department processes. That made me happy.”

That means the city can refinance its gas tax bonds, he said, and save money for the life of the bond, which is 18 years.

“We’re paying $400,000 less each year for those bonds because of our ability to refinance them,” Nguyen said. “The auditors sent me a letter of encouragement to let

me know the city is on a good path.”

The city also made strides in economic development, and Nguyen proposed to the city council that Oxnard was sitting on credits at the Public Utilities Commission for underground powerlines, but it had no projects on deck because there wasn’t enough money to do any major projects.

“Given our dire circumstances with cash, I made the recommendation that we sell those credits to another city that would need it,” he said. “In that market, you only get 55 cents to the dollar, but they are credits. It’s not real money unless you do a project.”

That brought $1.77 million into the general fund, he said, and the public utilities have been seriously discussing sweeping the accounts out because of the wildfires in the area.

“We’ve been negotiating with a couple of billboard companies for four billboards to our Highway 101 corridor,” he said. “If the permits are approved by the planning commission and recommended to the council, we would gain $550,000 a year for the general fund, at the minimum—the guaranteed amount. We may make some additional income each year, depending on their business and how well they do. The $550,000 will be new revenue to the general fund if it’s approved.

The city has finalized its cannabis policy, which took a lot of time, but Oxnard used a go-slow approach and learned from the surrounding communities.

“We’ve done that,” Nguyen said. “The good news is that in addition to manufacturing and distribution, we’ve also made significant strides with retail dispensaries.

City Manager Alex Nguyen.

Right now, the process is underway, and we have received approximately 50 applications.”

The city plans to release eight retail cannabis permits in the coming year.

“I still do not believe that it’s going to be the magic (revenue) bullet that everyone thinks it’s going to be,” he said. “It’s certainly not going to be as impactful for a city of our size, as it is for smaller cities nearby.”

The city is working on a business community benefits district in South Oxnard on Saviers Road, and they are working hard to get the property owners on board.

“Unfortunately, the pandemic and recession have put that to a halt,” he said.

The city made significant progress with a qualified developer to launch the first catalyst downtown project, which lost momentum, because of the recession.

“After eight years of effort, we finalized the landowners’ development map for Sakioka Farms,” he said. “Next week, we are entertaining the development agreement.

The land is poised for development. We’ve cleared a lot of the hurdles with landowners and a potential

developer out there. I’m looking forward to getting this across the finish line this summer.”

The council faced a difficult choice to update its development impact fees.

Some of the fees have not been changed since 1972.

“This was a difficult decision for the council to make,” he said. “On the one hand, it is crucial and necessary because our fee structure is woefully outdated. Developers were getting a sweet deal in Oxnard over the years. When they weren’t paying those fees, we had to come up behind them and make up the work that had to be done. That’s not fair to us as a city organization.”

Nguyen said crime has dropped in the city by 15 percent.

“With homelessness, we’ve made progress for the first time in a long time through all our various efforts,” he said.

“Our number of unsheltered homeless in the community decreased by 76 people. For the homeless point in time count, we had an increase of 19, which is a better number than prior years.”

The council will consider the 2020-2021 budget on June 31.

Oxnard-- The conversation about the 20202025 Five Year Capital Improvement Projects continues with completed projects during the fiscal year 2019-2020.

The council approved the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) June 16, but COVID-19 and the recession that hit after its arrival has spoiled any chances of new safety projects during the fiscal year 2020-2021.

City Engineer Tatiana Arnoud reviewed the completed projects during the fiscal year and started with the roof repair at Fire Station 6.

“This made it onto the cover pages of last year’s CIP and next year’s CIP,” she said. “We replaced the wood siding and made some interior improvements that were damaged due to the water leaks.”

The rectangular rapid flashing beacons at second street, across the street from the council chambers were installed at locations throughout the city.

“We’re looking to install more, hopefully, in the near future,” she said. “We’re applying to a few grants for that.”

The city worked with the Gold Coast Transit District on the Route 23 Bus Stop installation, she said, and they installed multiple bus stop locations along Ventura Road. The site is a new route.

“It’s still not up and running, but we’re looking to get it going in a couple of months,” she said. “We resurfaced the entirety of Channel Islands Boulevard within our city limits, and we are replacing all the cast iron pipes in the Bryce Canyon North and South Neighborhoods, as well as the Fremont North Neighborhood. We are still in construction on this, and it’s a big deal.”

Arnoud said the majority of building improvements were roof replacements.

“Under sea walls, we are still in construction on the Pilaster Jacket repairs at the Mandalay Bay Sea Walls,” she said. “Under transportation and drainage, we accomplished mostly street resurfacing projects and installed a new traffic signal by Oxnard College.”

The most notable project under utilities, she said, is the emergency repairs project for the wastewater treatment facility that the city is wrapping up.

“We’re replacing all four belt filter presses, the HVAC system in the lab, which I believe hasn’t been functional for over 10 years. We’re also doing some rehab to the clarifiers,” she said.

She reminded the council that the only projects the council is approving are for the fiscal year 2020-2021.

“There is no direct fiscal impact with the adoption of the fiscal year 2020-2025 CIP,” she said. “The CIP is only intended to provide a full fiscal presence of the capital improvement projects in the next five years if the funding is available.”

Projects approved by the council for the fiscal year 2020-2021, will go through the approval process.

This story will conclude on June 31.

SENIORS Those used to be the days Dr. James L. Snyder Being limited as to travel and outside activities can sometimes get rather boring. You can be inactive only so long, and then you get in that car that drives you to crazy land.

Finding something to do to keep me from being bored has become somewhat of a challenge.

However, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage can always find something to do, especially something for me. That is why every day I “act” as if I am busy. I think I ought to get some Emmy award for that because I am a rather good actor. I have had a lot of practice.

Not only that, but my hearing is not very good. Therefore, when my wife asked me something, I pretend that I am busy and cannot hear her. I think she has caught on to my acting skills here. There goes that Emmy.

One evening the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I were sitting in the living room together watching TV. At the same time, I was working on some sermon notes I was preparing for Sunday. I think that got most of my attention at the time.

Eventually, I looked over to my wife, smiled and said, “I’m beginning to understand politics much better and I think these politicians on TV are really making sense to me.” Then I flashed her one of my smiles.

She stared at me for a moment

and then said, “You do know we’re watching The Three Stooges, don’t you?”

To get caught is one thing but this rather threw me for a loop.

(Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk).

My wife keeps herself quite busy and I certainly cannot keep up with her. She cannot sit down for very long and rest.

This is where I come in as the husband. I sit down and rest for her so she can go about and keep busy. I must say I am very good at resting for her.

While she was rummaging through some stuff, she discovered a box of old photographs of our family.

I forgot we had such photographs.

After all, we have cell phones today with photographs on them. Does this younger generation know what a photograph really is? Has any young person ever seen a camera?

She brought several boxes out into the dining room and began opening them up and spreading the photographs on the table. I do not know who the photographer was on most of these but they were not that good. However, you gotta take what you get.

“Do you know who that person is?” My wife asked.

I looked at it and I could not imagine who that person was in that photograph.

“No, it doesn’t look familiar to me at all.”

My wife just stared at me and said, “Take another look.”

I could not figure out who that picture was and I could not

“I sure have changed, haven’t I?” She just looked at me and smiled. I wondered what she was smiling about but I was not going to ask her for fear she would tell me.

Then she brought out the other pictures. There were pictures of our wedding, which I really could not remember. Oh yes, I remember getting married, but I did not know we were that young. Is it legal to get married when you are that young?

Looking at those wedding pictures, I said something perhaps I should not have said, “Now, I

imagine the location of where that picture was taken.

“That is a picture of you just before we got married. Now do you remember?”

There was a picture of a young man with hair and as skinny as a lamp pole. I just could not see that that was a picture of me. Now, I am old, and my hair is starting to retire and, let’s say, I’m not skinny.

“Are you sure that’s a picture of me?”

“I should know because I’m the one that took the picture.”

If that’s what I looked like back then, what has happened

know why you married me. I was so handsome back then.”

Looking at me for a moment, she finally said, “No, I married you for your money.”

We look at each other for a moment, and then both of us broke out in hysterical laughter. I may have had good looks back then, but I certainly did not have any money.

Of course, today I have neither good looks nor money.

Then there were the pictures of our children as they were born.

I had forgotten how young they were when they were born.

Then there was that wonderful picture of all of us as a family.

My wife, our three children and I are setting together for this photograph.

Wow! It does not seem possible that that is what we looked like way back then.

We spent the rest of the evening picking up pictures and saying, “Do you remember this picture?” Of course, my wife could remember more of the pictures than I could.

I was however, getting a good picture of what our life was back then, how things have changed.

That evening I thought of what the apostle Paul said. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51).

God has a wonderful change in store for those who put their faith and trust in him.

While recent studies have warned consumers about the health risks associated with consuming too much protein, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Birmingham found that it can be beneficial for older consumers’ muscle health.

Their work revealed that balancing protein consumption throughout the day, as opposed to cramming it all into one meal, can help older consumers maintain strong muscle mass.

“We know that older people show a blunted response to muscle building when consuming a certain amount of protein,” said researcher Dr. Benoit Smeuninx.

“Therefore, older individuals need to eat more protein to get the same muscle building response as younger and middleaged people.”

The benefits of balance To better understand how consumers can use protein to their advantage in their diets, the researchers had 120 participants from varying age groups participate in the study.

For three days, the participants

kept a record of everything they ate, which gave the researchers insight into their typical protein intake.

The study revealed that all of the participants were consuming the right amount of protein each day, but not necessarily at the right times.

While a balance of nutrients is important for a healthy diet, the researchers explained that protein is essential for maintaining strong muscles. Perhaps more importantly, muscles tend to weaken as consumers enter into older age, meaning that protein is even more valuable.

SENIORS RV Travel Tips in the Summer of COVID

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on RV travel for novices? My husband and I have been cooped up all spring and summer because of the coronavirus and would like to take a trip using a rented RV but could use some tips and want to be safe.

Recently Retired Dear Recently, Recreational-vehicle (or RV) travel has become a very popular option among U.S. retirees over the past few decades and is probably one of the safest and most convenient ways to get away this summer.

Because it’s a small home on wheels, RV travel will allow you to distance yourself from crowds of people and reduce your risk of COVID exposure that comes with other forms of travel, i.e. air/train travel, hotel/Airbnb lodging and eating in restaurants. But there are still risks – especially in public places like gas stations, shared restrooms and picnic areas – so exercise caution. If you’ve never traveled by motor home or RV, here are a few tips to consider.

Renting an RV To help you determine the RV size and model you need for

your trip, consider your budget, destination and the number of travelers. If it’s just you and your husband, and you’re visiting several locations and driving lots of miles you may want a smaller motor home with better fuel economy. But if you’re taking other family members or friends, you may want a larger RV with slide outs and more sleeping areas. See GoRVing.com for a breakdown of all the different types of RVs available today.

To locate an RV rental dealer near you visit CruiseAmerica. com, one of the largest RV rental companies in the world or search the Recreation Vehicle Rental Association at RVRA.org. Or use peer-to-peer RV rental sites like RVshare.com or Outdoorsy.com, which are usually a little cheaper.

Rental costs will vary greatly depending on what you choose and how far you drive, ranging anywhere from $50 up to $500 per day.

When renting a rig, be sure you get detailed instructions from the owner or rental company on how to use the RV’s systems, including the

generator, air-conditioning, leveling, slide outs, electric and entertainment, as well as how to empty waste tanks and refill fresh water.

You should also know that because of COVID-19, most RV rental companies are vigilant about cleaning and disinfecting their units. But if you want to be extra safe, the CDC offers tips at CDC. gov/COVID19 – type “Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Home” in the search bar.

Trip Planning Tips It’s always wise to map out your trip route and reserve your campgrounds in advance, especially now during the pandemic, because some campgrounds and RV parks, as well as local, state, and national public parks may be closed or operating with restrictions.

A free tool that can help you plan your trip is Roadtrippers.com, which lets you plot out routes, calculate mileage and travel time, and will identify RV campgrounds, points of interest and restaurants along the way.

You should also consider becoming a Good Sam Club

member (GoodSam.com/club, $29/year), which provides access to its web-based trip planner, camping and fuel discounts, and a copy of the Good Sam Guide Series that features detailed information on more than 12,000 private RV parks and public campgrounds.

Most RV parks rent spaces on a nightly or weekly basis with rates typically ranging from $30 to $50 per night, however some in city and country parks may be $10 or even free.

RV parks can also range from rustic facilities with limited or no utility hookups, as are more often found in state and national parks, to luxury resorts with amenities that rival fine hotels.

For first-time RV renters, staying at a fully loaded RV park or campground with full hookups, a dump station, and staff on site is highly recommended. Look at Kampgrounds of America (KOA. com) or ReserveAmerica.com to browse the accommodations.

When a doctor no longer accepts Medicare, patients left holding the bag

By Carmen Heredia Rodriguez Pneumonia. Heart problems.

High cholesterol. Betsy Carrier, 71, and her husband, Don Resnikoff, 79, relied on their primary care doctor in Montgomery County, Maryland, for help managing their ailments.

But after seven years, the couple was surprised when the doctor informed them she was opting out of Medicare, the couple’s insurer.

“It’s a serious loss,” Resnikoff said of their doctor.

Patients can lose doctors for a variety of reasons, including a physician’s retirement or when either patient or doctor moves away. But economic forces are also at play. Many primary care doctors have long argued that Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors and people with disabilities, doesn’t reimburse them adequately and requires too much paperwork to get paid.

These frustrations have prompted some physicians to experiment with converting their practices to more lucrative payment models, such as concierge medicine, in which patients pay

a fee upfront to retain the doctor.

Patients who cannot afford that arrangement may have to search for a new physician.

The exact number of physicians with concierge practices is unknown, health care experts said. One physician consulting company, Concierge Choice Physicians, estimates that roughly 10,000 doctors practice some form of membership medicine, although it may not strictly apply to Medicare patients.

Shawn Martin, senior vice president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, estimated that fewer than 3% of their 134,000 members use this model but the number is slowly growing.

The move to concierge medicine may be more prevalent in wealthier areas.

Travis Singleton, executive vice president for the medical staffing company Merritt Hawkins, said doctors switching to other payment systems or those charging Medicare patients a higher price for care are likely “in more affluent, well-to-do areas where, frankly, they can get fees.”

It is far easier for physicians than hospitals to opt out of taking Medicare patients. Most hospitals have to accept them since they rely on Medicare payments to fund inpatient stays, doctor training and other functions.

The majority of physicians do still accept Medicare, and most people insured by the federal program for seniors and people with disabilities have no problem finding another health care provider. But that transition can be tough, particularly for older adults with multiple medical conditions.

“When transition of care happens, from one provider to another, that trust is often lost and it takes time to build that trust again,” said Dr. Fatima Sheikh, a geriatrician and the chief medical officer of FutureCare, which operates 15 rehabilitation and skilled nursing centers in Maryland.

Shuffling doctors also heightens the risk of mishaps.

A study of at least 2,200 older adults published in 2016 found that nearly 4 in 10 were taking at least five medications at the same

time. Fifteen percent of them were at risk of drug-to-drug interaction.

Primary care providers mitigate this risk by coordinating among doctors on behalf of the patient, said Dr. Kellie Flood, a geriatrician at the University of AlabamaBirmingham.

“You really need the primary care physicians to serve as the quarterback of the health care team,” said Flood. “If that’s suddenly lost, there’s really not a written document that can sum all that up and just be sent” to the new doctor.

Finding a physician who accepts Medicare depends partly on workforce demographics. From 2010 to 2017, doctors providing primary care services to Medicare beneficiaries increased by 13%, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), a nonpartisan group that advises Congress.

However, the swell of seniors who qualify for Medicare has outpaced the number of doctors available to treat them. Every day, an estimated 10,000 Americans turn 65 and become eligible for the government program, the Census Bureau reported.

LEGALS/NEWS Statue continued from page 1

Benjamin Leanos led the rally and said Serra practiced colonial genocide.

“He brought death, slavery, and forced conversion to California,” he said. “Everyone should have learned this in school.”

Leanos learned about Serra in the fourth grade and said his teacher was part of the mission project and wanted none of it.

“We did a topographical map of California, instead,” he said. “She taught us about the genocide that happened.”

While it’s a fact that Germans allow the Auschwitz Concentration Camp to stand as a reminder to never forget the atrocities that happened during World War II, where 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were

killed and tortured in Nazi Germany, he said, you can’t draw a comparison.

“Are there statues of Adolph Hitler in Germany,” Leanos said. “There is nothing celebratory. This is in front of the city hall like he is an idol.”

He doesn’t care about where the statue goes, as long as it comes down.

“There are two sides,” he said. “The Catholic Church would like to say that he did them a favor by murdering and enslaving them. Now, we think we are a little bit more enlightened, and it was not a good thing. Maybe they can give a little more context and background about what he did. This plaque doesn’t say anything about the atrocities he committed. It should be up to the people he committed

He feels the voices of the people are more important than putting the issue on the ballot.

“There is this movement to destroy pieces of history that people decide, on a whim, they don’t like,” he said. “It’s a bad precedent for us. The authorities are standing around watching people destroy public property.”

Rey said Serra was the number one priest who established missions along the California coast.

“I was talking to a young person this morning, and he said why do you oppose bringing the statue down when he committed genocide, and I told him that I don’t think Serra committed genocide,” Rey said. “I think Europeans brought smallpox to the Americas, and that killed millions of native Californians tragically.

Father Serra and the other

missionaries who came here, they were risking their lives. They could have stayed in Spain, but they came to the western frontier of the Americas in the late 1700s.

It wasn’t a safe place to be, but they came anyway to serve indigenous people who needed to know the Christian God. I know today we don’t think like that, but we’re talking about 1790 and the Spanish empire.”

Rey said the youngsters are not taught history and only want to impose modern sentiments on historical figures.

“This person said something one time, so that means they’re a racist and a bigot, and we need to take their statue down,” he said.

“Yesterday, they took down a

statue of General Grant and Serra and Father Serra in San Francisco. You’re talking about young people who need to do more studying and research. They need to understand in our history; we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors who have done good things and bad things. If every generation says we don’t like this person anymore, we don’t have any history to stand on. If they want to be confrontational with me and say Father Serra was a bad person, you know what, go ahead and erect two statues of Chumash twice as high on both sides.

I’m fine with that. I’m not for removing statues. The mayor and city council are pandering to a force that people fear, right now.”

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-9608299 or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2020-00479-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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2020

Frosted Thoughts continued from page 2

I asked her what I am supposed to do for the next six days without furniture, and she told me that she could only put me back at the end of a long delivery line.

That’s my only option.

Now I’m pissed. Here’s a little tip, if you want to make people mad, ask a bunch of direct questions and don’t let them off the hook when they try to avoid answering. When I said to this young lady that

my option is tough luck, she said sharply that she never said tough luck.

I educated her here and told her that she inferred tough luck, and maybe if she spent more time paying attention in high school English, she wouldn’t be so frustrated.

Of course, if she spent one second saying I’m sorry, how can we make this right, none of this would have happened.

From there, she informed me

that we would be compensated for our trouble. Okay, what does that mean? Then, this woman tells me that once I sign for the delivery, they will tell me what my compensation will be.

I asked her if this was supposed to fix my problem, and she said If I am not satisfied, I can cancel my order.

I asked her then how can I be sure the compensation isn’t a hearty, sorry dude, or even

worse, here’s a coupon for your next purchase.

I started feeling like I am back in that kayak again, like two weeks ago, and rowing in circles.

“It’s not that simple,” she replied. “Okay, I said, here’s your chance to educate me.

While you’re at it, please tell me if you think you think you are giving excellent customer service.

The customer care expert

started yelling, and then I told her that if she understood anything, she could learn from her lack of people skills and how it incited an angry response from this Long Island native.

Here’s my point. Treat your customer like a person, not a massive inconvenience.

Mistakes happen, and anyone who’s met my first wife tells me that when I make a mistake, I do it big time.

APOLOGIZE, and go out of your way to right the wrong.

The sad thing is that she probably hung up and called me a miserable !!@%&** and didn’t learn one thing.

The story has a happy ending. We went to a different store, bought better furniture, and the only mistake I made was to tell my wife to open a line of credit. NEVER TELL THE J-TRAIN TO OPEN A LINE OF CREDIT.

Finance and Governance continued from page 1

Any city department that gets a complaint does not investigate itself, except if it’s a low-level complaint. Any complaint received by Price Paige gets evaluated for merit.

“The technical term for screening that allegation is called predication,” he said.

“Predication is defined by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners as the totality of circumstances to leave a reasonable, professionally trained, and prudent

individual to believe that fraud has occurred is occurring or will occur.”

The firm must decide if it needs to pursue the allegation if predication gets established.

From there, Price Paige determines whether or not it has a high quantitative value, above $75,000, medium, between 25,000 and $75,000 or low, less than $25,000 priority.

To determine whether it’s a qualitative assessment, a high priority involves whether

or not there is high-level management collusion with multiple wrongdoers, while a medium level involves abuse of authority with medium to low employment involvement by someone at the department level.“Then, we have lowpriority, which are isolated incidents of time abuse or other wasteful practices,” he said. “We have to consider the quantitative factors, and also the qualitative factors in how to proceed with a potential

investigation.” The company did receive one complaint that was defined as a medium level qualitative complaint as an abuse of authority.

“The internal audit department is determining if predication exists,” Oum said. “When we evaluated the complaint, it was comparable to a prior complaint reported back in March. We believe it is more effective and efficient to review this complaint in connection with that, as well.

We’ll look at this together since the issue involves the same department and individual.”

To date, Oum said Price Paige received 68 complaints, including the 12 new complaints reviewed at the meeting.

“We investigated three,” he said. “Of the three complaints, two have been completed.

There is one investigation pending. We have completed our investigation, and we are working with that

department to come up with the appropriate response to share with the Finance and Governance Committee.”

During committee comments, Bert Perello asked if the medium level investigation can be made public once Price Paige completes the investigation.

Oum said his company would work with the city management and attorney to see if the information will be made available to the public.

HEALTH 2nd wave of virus cases? Experts say we’re still in the 1st

By Mike Stobbe What’s all this talk about a “second wave” of U.S. coronavirus cases?

Fake doctor signed 600 patients’ medical pot paperwork SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP)—About 600 patients seeking authorization to purchase medical marijuana in Missouri had their paperwork signed by a fake doctor, officials say.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said in a news release that there is no evidence to indicate the affected patients were aware the physician listed was not the physician who met with them.

“It was a person/people impersonating a doctor,” Department of Health and Senior Services spokesperson Lisa Cox told the Springfield News-Leader in a text message. She said the department could not comment on who was being impersonated.

The affected patients will be notified and given 30 days to submit a valid certificate before their license is revoked.

The agency also said it has referred the case to the Attorney General’s Office and to the Missouri Board of Healing Arts for further action.

“Through our many types of regulatory efforts, we remain watchful for any wrongdoing in order to protect Missourians,” said Dr. Randall Williams, director of DHSS. Nearly two-thirds of Missouri voters in November 2018 approved medical marijuana. Sales aren’t expected to begin until late summer at the earliest.

I

N The Wall Street Journal last week, Vice President Mike Pence wrote in a piece headlined “There Isn’t a Coronavirus ‘Second Wave’“ that the nation is winning the fight against the virus.

Many public health experts, however, suggest it’s no time to celebrate. About 120,000 Americans have died from the new virus and daily counts of new cases in the U.S. are the highest they’ve been in more than a month, driven by alarming recent increases in the South and West.

But there is at least one point of agreement: “Second wave” is probably the wrong term to describe what’s happening.

“When you have 20,000-plus infections per day, how can you talk about a second wave?” said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health.

“We’re in the first wave. Let’s get out of the first wave before you have a second wave.”

Clearly there was an initial infection peak in April as cases exploded in New York City.

After schools and businesses were closed across the country, the rate of new cases dropped somewhat.

But “it’s more of a plateau, or a mesa,” not the trough after

a wave, said Caitlin Rivers, a disease researcher at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Health Security.

Scientists generally agree the nation is still in its first wave of coronavirus infections, albeit one that’s dipping in some parts of the country while rising in others.

“This virus is spreading around the United States and hitting different places with

different intensity at different times,” said Dr. Richard Besser, chief executive of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation who was acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when a pandemic flu hit the U.S. in 2009.

Dr. Arnold Monto, a University of Michigan flu expert, echoed that sentiment.

“What I would call this is continued transmission with

flare-ups,” he said.

Flu seasons sometimes feature a second wave of infections. But in those cases, the second wave is a distinct new surge in cases from a strain of flu that is different than the strain that caused earlier illnesses.

That’s not the case in the coronavirus epidemic.

Monto doesn’t think “second wave” really describes what’s happening now, calling it “totally semantics.”

“Second waves are basically in the eye of the beholder,” he said.

But Besser said semantics matter, because saying a first wave has passed may give people a false sense that the worst is over.

Some worry a large wave of coronavirus might occur this fall or winter—after schools reopen, the weather turns colder and less humid, and people huddle inside more.

That would follow seasonal patterns seen with flu and other respiratory viruses. And such a fall wave could be very bad, given that there’s no vaccine or experts think most Americans haven’t had the virus.

But the new coronavirus so far has been spreading more episodically and sporadically than flu, and it may not follow the same playbook.

“It’s very difficult to make a prediction,” Rivers said. “We don’t know the degree to which this virus is seasonal, if at all.”

California extends special-enrollment deadline for health care coverage during COVID-19 pandemic

By Staff Reports Covered California announced on Tuesday that it would be giving consumers more time to sign up for health care coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic by extending the current special-enrollment deadline through the end of July.

“Covered California is committed to helping people get access to the health care they need, and while California is reopening parts of the state, there is still a lot of uncertainty out there due to the pandemic,” said Peter V. Lee, executive director of Covered

California. “We want to make sure that people have a path to coverage, whether it is through Covered California or Medi-Cal, and giving people more time to sign up is the right thing to do.”

Covered California initially opened the health insurance exchange to any eligible uninsured individuals, who needed health care coverage amid the COVID-19 nation emergency, from March 20 to June 30. The new deadline means that anyone who meets Covered California’s eligibility requirements, which are similar to those in place during the annual

open-enrollment period, can apply for coverage through July 31.

The most recent data shows that 175,030 people have signed up for health care coverage between March 20 and June 20, which is more than twice the number who signed up during the same time last year.

Every year, Covered California provides eligible consumers the opportunity to sign up for health care coverage outside of the traditional open-enrollment period if they experience a qualifying life event. These can include events like losing your

health insurance, moving, getting married or having a baby.

Overall, 242,600 people have signed up for coverage since Jan. 31, when Covered California ended its open-enrollment period, through June 20, which is nearly twice as many as seen during the same time period last year.

People who sign up through Covered California will have access to private health insurance plans with monthly premiums that may be lowered due to federal and new state financial help that became effective in 2020. After selecting a plan, their coverage would begin

on the first day of the following month — meaning individuals losing job-based coverage would not face a gap in coverage.

The latest data from California’s Employment Development Department shows that 6.3 million unemployment claims have been processed in the state since the pandemic started.

“We know that when people lose their jobs, they often lose the health care coverage that was protecting them and their families,” Lee said. “While Californians who lose coverage can always sign up

MOVIE REVIEW

“The King of Staten Island”

By Bob Garver

(Steve Buscemi).

With Ray quickly becoming a stronger presence in the household, and Margie wanting to give him a push anyway, Scott soon finds himself fighting to retain his effort-free existence. It shouldn’t be a spoiler to say that he is going to have to learn a few things about responsibility, the way Seth Rogen’s character did in quintessential Apatow comedy “Knocked Up.” Really, it’s the same arc all protagonists go through if they’re established as lazy at the beginning of a movie. Supposedly this one is different because it has touches of Davidson’s real-life story and personality thrown in, but I’m sorry, going by this movie I would think that Davidson’s life was only averagely exciting at best and downright uninteresting at worst.

“The King of Staten Island” boasts dedicated performances from Burr, Buscemi, Powley, Tomei, and even Davidson when he’s not doing tired stoner schtick. The script is often funny and sometimes poignant in later stages, but as with many Apatow movies, there’s too much of it (do we really need a whole sequence to establish that the immature Scott has a “talent” for fitting in at drug-fueled college parties?), especially for a story this tired.

Maybe it’s that Apatow has gone to this well too many times or that something isn’t firing right with the unproven Davidson, but for the second week in a row I’m reviewing a movie that went straight to On Demand, and for the second week in a row I get the feeling that the movie wouldn’t have been able to survive long in theaters.

Back in 2015, director Judd Apatow briefly turned comedian Amy Schumer into a movie star with “Trainwreck,” a semiautobiographical film where the protagonist’s actions were fictionalized, but much of the dialogue, situations, and character traits were taken from Schumer’s own life. Now Apatow hopes to find similar success with Pete Davidson in “The King of Staten Island,” where Davidson plays a fictionalized version of himself and has conversations he’s probably had in some form in his personal life. Even though the film is based on the real life of an individual with a unique story to tell, the film still can’t feel anything but formulaic.

D

AVIDSON plays Scott Carlin, a 24-year-old slacker with a myriad of mental health issues, many of which are related to the death of his firefighter father (killed in a nondescript hotel fire and not in the 9/11 attacks like Davidson’s real father) when he was a child. He spends his days hanging out with his friends, annoying his widowed mother Margie (Marisa Tomei) and sister Claire (Maude Apatow), and taking his girlfriend Kelsey (Bel Powley) for granted.

He won’t get a job or take his relationship seriously because he figures people with his emotional baggage shouldn’t be in the workforce or making a partner miserable (that’s his excuse for his laziness, anyway). The closest thing he has to an aspiration is to become a tattoo artist, and even to this he doesn’t really commit, practicing goofy designs of his choice on anyone who’s willing to offer up their skin… including a nine-year-old boy.

The boy’s father is Ray (Bill

Grade: C

Burr), a firefighter who is none to happy about the damage done to his underage son. He shows up at Scott’s house to yell at him, but meets Margie at the door, and doesn’t feel like yelling at her.

In fact, he’s soon asking her out for coffee, and the two pursue a relationship. This does not sit well with Scott, who doesn’t like Ray and is opposed to his mother dating another fireman. He

doesn’t even approve of firemen dating anybody, since there may come a day where they don’t come home to their loved ones, a belief he is only too happy to share with Ray and his chief

“The King of Staten Island” is available On Demand through online streaming services and likely through your local cable provider. The film is rated R for language and drug use throughout, sexual content and violence/bloody images. Its running time is 136 minutes.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2020

ENTERTAINMENT Comedian DL Hughley COVID-19 positive after fainting onstage N A S H VILLE, Tenn.

(AP)—Comedian D.L. Hughley announced he tested positive for COVID-19 after collapsing onstage during a performance in Nashville, Tennessee.

The standup comedian, 57, lost consciousness while performing at the Zanies comedy nightclub on Friday night and was hospitalized, news outlets reported. On Saturday, Hughley posted a video on Twitter in which he said he was treated for exhaustion and dehydration afterward.

“I also tested positive for COVID-19, which blew me away,” he says in the video.

“I was what they call asymptomatic. I didn’t have any symptoms, the classic symptoms.”

Hughley plans to quarantine in his Nashville hotel room for 14 days. The remaining two nights of his four-night engagement at Zanies were canceled, according to the club’s online calendar.

“Our friend D.L. Hughley had a medical emergency while performing on Friday and was hospitalized overnight.

According to his publicist, he was suffering from exhaustion after working & traveling this week,” the club posted on Facebook. “Love ya, D.L. and we’ll look forward to seeing this King of Comedy back in Nashville soon!”

Hughley said he still hasn’t exhibited any of the typical symptoms associated with the coronavirus, including shortness of breath and fever.

“So, in addition to all the other stuff you have to look out for,” Hughley advises in the video, if you “pass out in the middle of a show, onstage, you probably need to get tested.”

In addition to stand-up comedy, Hughley is also an actor, author and radio and television host. He starred in Spike Lee’s 2000 concert film, “The Original Kings of Comedy,” alongside Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac and Cedric the Entertainer.

Hughley also produced and starred in “The Hughleys,” which aired on ABC and UPN from 1998 to 2002 and hosted a CNN talk show. He currently hosts the radio show “The D.L. Hughley Show,” which is syndicated in dozens of markets.

“Thank you for your prayers and your well wishes—and a few more of them wouldn’t hurt,” Hughley says in the video.

MLB spring training sites close amid virus worry

By Ben Walker Every team in Major League Baseball will shut its spring training camp over concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, a move that came in the wake of the Philadelphia Phillies announcing Friday five players had tested positive for COVID-19.

T

HE closures come while MLB owners and players try to negotiate a deal to begin the season, and raise the possibility the virus outbreak could scuttle all attempts at starting up this year.

A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press the spring complexes in Florida and Arizona will temporarily close because of recent events. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there wasn’t an official statement.

The facilities will undergo a deep cleaning and disinfecting.

No one will be permitted back inside without a negative test for the virus.

Soon after the Phillies became the first known team to be affected by the outbreak, Toronto shuttered its site in Dunedin, Florida, about five miles from Philadelphia’s camp in Clearwater. The Blue Jays said one player showed symptoms consistent with the virus.

The San Francisco Giants’ facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, was shut after one person who had been to the site and one family member exhibited symptoms Thursday. Texas closed its camp about 30 miles away in Surprise, saying no one had tested positive but that it wanted to expand testing protocols.

Also, the Houston Astros said a player working out at their spring camp in West Palm Beach, Florida, tested positive several days ago and was recovering. The Astros said they “implemented all health and safety protocols” but didn’t say the camp was closed.

Stuck in a bitter fight over money, owners and the union

had hoped to have players begin testing Tuesday and then start a second round of spring training by next weekend. Most teams had anticipated holding those workouts at their home ballparks, rather than at their spring camps in Florida and Arizona.

Earlier this week, Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem wrote in a letter to players’ union chief negotiator Bruce Meyer that “the proliferation of COVID-19 outbreaks around the country over the last week, and the fact that we already know of several 40-man roster players and staff who have tested positive, has increased the risks associated with commencing spring training in the next few weeks.”

Regarding the implications of the outbreak on the season, the Phillies said “it is too early to know.”

The Phillies said three staff members at the camp also tested positive. The team didn’t identify any of those affected.

Florida has experienced rising incidents of new cases and rates of those testing positive for COVID-19. Over the past two weeks, the rolling average number of daily new cases in Florida has increased by 1,422.7, or 144.4%.

Arizona also has had a recent spike in cases, hitting a record for new daily cases.

The Phillies said the first confirmed case occurred Tuesday. The club said eight staff members have tested negative for the virus, while 12 staff members and 20 players—both major leaguers and minor leaguers—living in the Clearwater area are being tested.

The Phillies closed their facility in March when the coronavirus pandemic shut down sports. Players returning from injuries were allowed to continue their rehab after the facility was cleaned thoroughly.

A few of the team’s athletic trainers and staff remained to supervise and safety

precautions were taken.

Several more players began working out at the facility over the past few weeks but group sizes were limited.

In a statement, managing partner John Middleton said, “The Phillies are committed to the health and welfare of our players, coaches and staff as our highest priority.”

“As a result of these confirmed tests, all facilities in Clearwater have been closed indefinitely to all players, coaches and staff and will remain closed until medical authorities are confident that the virus is under control and our facilities are disinfected,” he said.

The World Series champion Washington Nationals, who didn’t reopen the spring camp they share with Houston after closing their portion in mid-March, said they’d had one minor league player test positive in the Dominican Republic. The team said the player was not at their facility.
