Measure E passes

or

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The unofficial totals are in from Ventura County, and 1.5 cent sales tax increase for the City of Oxnard is heading towards victory.

Measure E is a shot in the arm for the city, which is struggling under budget constraints to maintain city services.

Permit simplicity, Measure F, which was penned by Moving Oxnard Forward Chief Aaron Starr, has been defeated.

Measure L, which expands the duties of Oxnard City Treasurer Phil Molina, has been defeated by a wide margin.

One of the more controversial initiatives, Measure N, passed. This will sunset Measure O funding if the city does not improve the roads.

The City of Oxnard has not announced any legal challenges at press time.

Below are the initiatives with the current vote totals: n Measure E, see page 7

MAKES THE SENIORS AND OXNARD SPECIAL POPULATIONS SMILE

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- It was a special trick or treat celebration at the Wilson Senior Center, Oct 30, as the location hosted a “Trunk or Treat with a Drive-Thru Celebration that brought huge smiles to everyone’s faces.

ARS lined up, drove in, and got plenty of candy as volunteers came together to make the evening a special event.

Both groups have been displaced by Covid-19 and were overjoyed to be together.

Oxnard Special Populations Director Maria Sandoval and Program Coordinator Jorge Cruz teamed up to make the event a success.

“With Covid-19 happening, all regular programming stopped,” Cruz said. “We decided to get together and see what we could bring to our special pops and senior community and have them enjoy the holiday. We figured a trunk or treat program would work perfectly for both programs.” n Trunk or Treat, see page 7

Ramirez wins Ventura County District Five Supervisor race

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez has unofficially won the Ventura County District Five Supervisor race over Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn.

With 69 of 90 districts reporting, Ramirez unofficially has 21,428 votes. Flynn received 17,639.

Ramirez ran a campaign based on providing new jobs in the new economy while transitioning away from fossil fuels. Ramirez has taken the no fossil fuel pledge.

She has faced several efforts by big oil political action groups that promoted Flynn. During the primary season, several stories came out that provided misinformation about the candidate. Big oil promoted Flynn again this fall, which she

addressed in a Sentry article published Oct. 8.

Ramirez remained undaunted by the action and is in the process of drafting a letter to the California Geologic Energy Management Division to address idle oil and gas wells in the jurisdiction.

“These wells are left unattended and are a threat to the public health and safety of our communities,” Ramirez said. “Idle n Ramirez, see page 3

It has been an eye-opening experience

I

’VE seen people hope that Donald Trump gets extremely sick with Covid-19. I’ve also seen people say that other people are friendly, but the person is a Republican, so that person can be shifty and untrustworthy. I’ve also heard people say that it is impossible to like a Republican. If you think that, check your hate levels.

They’re unhealthy.

Let me point out something painfully obvious that I shouldn’t need to say. We live in The United States of America, which is a Republic. Instead of hating people or wishing them harm because they are a Democrat or Republican, try embracing the diversity this county offers. I have friends on both sides of the aisle. If I befriend someone, I don’t check their politics. If you want to censure someone because they think differently, why don’t you get all dressed up in your Americana gear and head over

Trump rally attacked in Ventura Patriots of Ventura

By Chris Frost County Founder Betsy chris@tricountysentry.com

Ventura-- The Donald Trump rally at the Ventura County Justice Center was victimized

by Black Lives Matter advocates, Nov 1, as occupants of one car assaulted a woman with a mango and knocked her to the ground.

W

HILE atten­ dees rushed to the woman’s aid, a barrage of full water bottles was thrown at the peaceful celebration of freedom in America.

Ventura Police and first responders responded to the scene quickly and took the woman to the hospital.

Unconfirmed reports say the woman suffered a concussion when she fell and hit her head on the sidewalk.

“Ross” Jones said she didn’t see what happened, but she received first-hand accounts about the incident.

“One of our Patriots was standing here waving her flags when a black car with four black guys drove by and threw a mango at her head, and she got knocked over and hit her head on the ground,” she said. “Then, while we were all over there helping her, they were throwing full water bottles at us, which can be painful.

Let’s see how the Ventura PD handles this.”

Jones said it’s not the first time the Patriots of Ventura County have been attacked.

“Usually, when we’re here, Black Lives Matter comes and attacks us on some level, so we’re used to it,” she said. “They usually attack us on foot. At the last rally, a woman charged our group.

They usually attack us on foot. At the last rally, a woman charged our group. Her boyfriend was trying to get her to stop attacking us. In the process of her fighting with her boyfriend, she broke her boyfriend’s finger.

“That’s all there is to it,” she said. “You have nothing better to do with your name than going around hurting people? What are you doing?

Ramirez said something is wrong with the state’s

laws that allow a group to be created and create this message.

“People should know who’s paying for ads,” she said. “We have the rules for individual candidates. You’ll see on my

materials for ads on the radio and newspaper, who paid for it. We see who paid for the ad, and it’s the California Independent Petroleum and other folks.”

SENIORS 805 How Seniors can Save Money on Prescription Eyeglasses

Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend for finding affordable prescription eyeglasses? I used to have vision insurance through my work but lost it when I turned 65 and signed up for Medicare.

Need Spectacles Dear Need, Unfortunately, in 2020 it’s still true that original Medicare does not cover vision services, which includes routine eye exams and prescription eyeglasses – unless you’ve just had cataract surgery.

While there’s no one solution to this common need, here are a few tips that can help you save.

Medicare Advantage While original Medicare doesn’t

cover vision services, there are Medicare Advantage plans that do.

Medicare Advantage plans, which are sold through private insurance companies, cover all the same medical and hospital services that original Medicare does, but many of them also provide vision as well as dental, hearing and prescription drugs too.

To locate Advantage plans in your area that provide vision coverage, go to Medicare.gov/plancompare or call 800-633-4227. But before enrolling in a plan, check the benefit details to ensure the plan’s vision coverage includes routine eye exams, eyeglass frames and lenses.

If you are currently enrolled in original Medicare you can switch to a Medicare Advantage plan each year during the open enrollment

period, which is between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7. Or, if you already have an Advantage plan that doesn’t provide adequate vision coverage, you can swap to another plan between Jan. 1 and March 31.

If, however, you don’t want to change your Medicare plan, you can still get coverage by purchasing a vision insurance policy – see eHealthInsurance.com.

Vision policies typically start at around $11 to $13 per month for an individual, but before signing up make sure your savings potential is worth the cost of the monthly premiums and required copays.

Discount Stores Purchasing eyeglasses from discount retailers is another way to save. Costco Optical is one of the best discount stores for good eyewear and low prices. Eyeglasses cost an average of around $184, but to shop there you have to pay a $60 annual membership fee. Some other good retail options for low prices include Sam’s Club Optical

and Walmart Vision Centers.

You also need to find out if you are eligible for any discounts.

Some retailers provide discounts to membership groups like AARP and AAA. AARP members, for example, can get 30 percent off a pair of glasses (frames and lenses) at LensCrafters andGlasses.com, and you save an additional $10 on a complete pair at Target Optical.

AARP also offers $55 comprehensive eye exams (dilation included) at participating eye doctors. See AARPVisionDiscounts.com for more information.

Buy Online Buying eyeglasses online can also offer huge savings. Stores like ZenniOptical.com, and EyeBuyDirect.com sell prescription eyeglasses for as little as $6 and $7.

These sites let you upload a photo of your face, so you can see what you’d look like in different frames.

Or, for a snappier choice of frames see WarbyParker.com, which offers single-vision glasses

Things have a way of catching up with me Dr. James L. Snyder THE PARSONAGE—I have learned in my life, and probably just one thing: things have a way of catching up with me. I can’t get away with anything.

It’s not that I don’t try. There were a few times when I’ve come pretty close to getting away with something, but it didn’t turn out the way I hoped.

One example stands out. Last year

someone hacked into the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage’s bank account and purchased a case of wine for around $700. It took her a few days to see this in her bank account.

When she saw it, she immediately went to the bank to dispute it.

The interesting thing about this purchase on her account was, it happened while she was playing the piano in church on a Sunday morning here in Florida, and was

made at the same time in Southern California. I know my wife is terrific, but I did not believe she could do that. To be in two different places at the same time is magical.

Maybe she has more arrows in her quiver than I imagined.

She finally got it squared away with her bank and got the money put back. For a while, she was a little worried and checked her bank account every day.

Every once in a while, being the kind of person I am, I will ask her after the Sunday service, “Did you buy any wine today?”

I found that quite hilarious but, being on the opposite side of the marriage aisle, she did not go along with that evaluation.

Being a country boy, I like to milk every opportunity I get. I remember telling her at the time, “I didn’t know n Catching, see page 5

starting at $95. They even offer a free program where you can request up to five pairs to try on at home for five days.

To purchase glasses online, you’ll need a valid prescription from an eye doctor (typically no more than a year old), plus your pupillary distance number, which is the distance, measured in millimeters, between the centers of your pupils in each eye.

Low-Income Assistance If your income is low, depending on where you live, there may be some local clinics that provide free or discounted eye exams and eyeglasses. Put in a call to your local Lions Club to see what’s available in your area. See Directory.LionsClubs. org for contact information.

You may also be able to get free eyeglasses through New Eyes (New-Eyes.org, 973-376-4903), a nonprofit organization that provides free eyeglasses through a voucher program to people in financial need.

SENIORS 805 Honoring Rev. C.T. Vivian’s Legacy

By Marian Wright Edelman FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT EMERITA My much beloved friend Rev. C.T. Vivian was a leader in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), a confidant of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a role model for so many of us in the 1960s era of civil rights activism, and a mighty and indispensable long haul moral warrior for justice.

He was also a treasured personal friend known for being unfailingly gracious, generous, warm, and loving. I keep a photo in my home office of C.T. with my whole family taken when my husband Peter and I took our children and grandchildren on a civil rights tour through the South some years ago.

His kindness radiated in his smile.

Rev. Vivian participated in his first sit-in at a Peoria, Illinois lunch counter in 1947, an early example of the success nonviolent sit-in protests could have. As a leader in the Nashville sit-in movement, one of the ministers who joined Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) members on Freedom Rides into Mississippi,

and as an SCLC leader bringing people to register to vote at Selma, Alabama’s courthouse he faced violence repeatedly. Although beaten and jailed he never wavered and like Dr. King and Gandhi believed hatred and violence always destroyed more than they created.

A violent episode in Selma exemplified his dignified courage before our nation. In February 1965, television cameras filmed him leading a voting rights protest at the courthouse where he was physically blocked at the door by rabid segregationist Sheriff Jim Clark.

“This courthouse does not belong

to you, Clark,” C.T. told him. “This courthouse belongs to the people of Dallas County…You can turn your back on me, but you cannot turn your back upon the idea of justice. You can turn your back now and you can keep the club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice. And we will register to vote, because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it…”

The cameras rolled as Sheriff Clark punched C.T. in the mouth and knocked him to the ground. C.T. got back up and kept speaking as he was dragged away bleeding to jail.

The resulting news broadcasts

of his beating and arrest helped bring national attention to Selma’s voting rights movement. That became a harsh spotlight during the follow-up actions over the next months, including three Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches, the Bloody Sunday attack at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and the murders of nonviolent protesters Jimmie Lee Jackson and Rev. James Reeb, which led to the signing of the federal Voting Rights Act in June.

C.T. said of the courthouse attack: “Everything I am as a minister, as an African American, as a civil rights activist and a struggler for justice for everyone came together in that moment.”

C.T. was a warrior for justice his entire life including protecting the right to vote. When President Obama awarded C.T. the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013, he called him a “stalwart activist on the march toward racial equality,” saying, “Rosa Parks said of him, ‘Even after things had been taken care of and we had our rights, he was still out there, inspiring the next generation,’ including me… and at 89 years old, Reverend Vivian is still out there, still in the

I’ve delved into it a little bit and discovered that I bought those cigars in New Jersey the same time I was preaching from the pulpit here in Florida. Is it possible that I have now risen to the height of the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage?

Believe me, I was more than aggravated at that kind of thing. $159.32 is a lot of money for me, and to spend it on cigars when I don’t smoke cigars is a travesty.

The next day I headed for the bank to dispute this transaction. After

some time with my banker, she was able to take care of it. It took several days for that money to get back into my account. Believe me, I checked my account every day until finally, the transaction was gone.

The fact that that transaction took place in New Jersey at the same time I was preaching here in Florida was rather disturbing. I thought that maybe somebody did this deliberately.

That, however, was not the end of it.

“After all these years you haven’t told me everything about yourself,” my wife said to me. “Why didn’t you tell me you smoke cigars?” Then she laughed. I didn’t.

She egged me into an intense conversation about the fact that I did not, in any way, smoke cigars; therefore, why in the world would I buy cigars. Looking at her, I could see she was enjoying this to the hilt.

“Is there anything else,” she said rather soberly, “that you haven’t told me?”

action, pushing us closer to our founding ideals.” When C.T. passed away two weeks before his 96th birthday, President Obama said, “I have to imagine that seeing the largest protest movement in history unfold over his final months gave the reverend a final dose of hope before his long and well-deserved rest.”

Like our dear mutual friend John Lewis who passed away the same day, there is no doubt that C.T. is cheering on the fight for justice in heaven right now. Rev. Vivian told young leaders at a Children’s Defense Fund event he believed they were inheriting the world at a unique point in history when the chance to create a more peaceful and just future for all people was not just possible, but necessary for continued survival and that “this is the moment we have waited for…We talked about a new world coming. We talked about all of that, right? Now that it’s here, we’ve got to make it real.” I hope the next generation will heed this great servant leader’s wisdom in this darkest hour until equal opportunity is real for everyone in our nation.

Well, if there was, I would not remember it at my age. Then, as I stood there with my jaw dropped to the floor, she began laughing hysterically.

“Ha, ha, ha, I got you.”

But it wasn’t over yet.

The next Sunday after the church service, on our way home, my wife looked at me rather soberly and said, “Honey, did you by any cigars today while you were preaching?” Then she laughed heartily, and I mumbled under my breath as I gritted my teeth.

you drank wine.”

After a while, she quit responding and just gave me one of her infamous scowls, which only sparked further interest in the subject.

For a while, I thought I was getting away with this. Things, however, have a way of catching up, particularly with me, when I least expect it.

Several weeks ago, as I checked my bank account online, I noticed a transaction for $159.32 for, of all things, cigars. But I don’t smoke cigars!

NEWS Public Works & Transportation approves the third amendment with the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Public Works and Transportation Committee, Oct 27, recommend the City Council approve and execute the third amendment to Agreement A- 7864 with the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District.

T

HE action extends the term from Dec 31, 2020, to Dec 31, 2022, for wastewater transportation and treatment services.

Wastewater Division Manager Jan Hauser said the item is a time extension only, and all the other terms and conditions remain.

The city has a regional wastewater treatment system and serves several agencies outside the City of Oxnard.

“That includes the City of Port Hueneme, the naval bases, other unincorporated areas in Ventura County, and the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District,” he said. “Each one of these is regulated through a sewer-use agreement. They’re all unique and individual to the communities being served outside the city.”

The treatment plant is rated at 31.7 million gallons per day, he said, and it currently treats approximately 20 million gallons per day.

Channel Islands Beach serves the area around the harbor, including Hollywood Beach, Hollywood by the Sea, Silver Strand, and a few other parcels along the harbor.

“One of the unique aspects of this agreement is we bill

them for the use of our sewers and treatment, and they bill us because we use part of their sewer system,” he said. “There’s a two-way billing built into the agreement. That’s one of the things we want to address.”

The original agreement ran from May through Dec 2016, he said, then followed by a first amendment that extended the term through Dec.31, 2018.

“A second amendment extended the agreement through 2020,” Hauser said. “We’re asking to extend it one more time. In the meantime, through work with Channel Islands Beach, we hired a third-party consultant to look at the agreement, look at the infrastructure service areas, billing, and all the things that are challenging in the existing agreement.”

He pointed to a graphic of the Oxnard and Channel Islands Beach service areas and said the Channel Islands Beach wastewater system travels through Oxnard in several places.

He called it a small yet complex system of spaghetti infrastructure.

“That was one of our goals in the study, to see if we could separate that infrastructure,” he said. “The scope of the work was to look at the shared infrastructure to identify areas that we can meter, based on billing, then, the overall service area.”

The study had many recommendations, starting with transferring the infrastructure.

the bridge over the harbor.

“It serves only Oxnard residents, but they (Channel Islands) own and maintain it,” he said. “That doesn’t make a lot of sense. “There’s also gravity sewer that we cannot measure the flow. There is not a lot of flow, but it goes to their system. The recommendation is to transfer the ownership of those pieces of infrastructure.”

The other change will meter all the flow.

“Right now, there is no metering,” Hauser said. “Billing is based on a base rate identified in the original agreement. That increases by the rate increases passed by the city council. The transfer of infrastructure would also require a modest change in the service districts. A new agreement will need to have an industrial

pretreatment program or a multijurisdictional agreement as part of our NPDS permit that’s not part of the current agreement. One of our goals is to get the billing one way, based on our metered flow.”

The billing has a base rate; they don’t know how it was determined, which determines what the city bills Channel Islands and what Channel Islands bills the city.

“That increase is based on the rate increases,” he said. “One is based on the residential rate, and one is based on the regional rate,” he said. “The rates have gotten a little bit out of whack. It’s also based on an assumed flow. None of this is metered. It’s basically a flat rate.”

Committee Member Bryan MacDonald wanted to know how they meter the flow.

“Do we meter it at the lift

station, as to what comes out of the lift pump,” he asked.

Hauser said he’s correct.

“There are about six pump stations in this system,” he said.

“We can install meters on all of those stations. That would meter all the flow from our side and their side that’s going to the shared force main. We have put one meter on one of our lift stations. They have purchased into our system; we’re one of the co-owners of the system, so they have an allotment of flow they can use. The billing would be based on the actual flow. We would measure their flow and our flow, subtract our flow, metered by their stations. That’s what we would bill them.”

Chairman Bert Perello said he’s happy that both sides agree about this issue.

“We’re making progress,” Hauser said. “It’s been a cordial relationship.”

Perello asked if any of the pipelines are underwater, and Hauser said they’re under public streets.

“What are the conditions of the pipelines,” Perello asked.

Hauser said the two groups would need to examine that concern jointly.

“We need to evaluate the condition of the infrastructure that would be swapped,” he said.

“It’s a pump station they currently operate and maintain, but it only serves our customers. Then, there is a gravity sewer line that runs south on Victoria. We’ll have to evaluate the condition of the infrastructure throughout the infrastructure.”

The system has no odor complaints.

“This particular area in the county has had real impacts imposed by short-term rentals,” Perello said. “When we’re talking about metering, are we talking about a residential unit or a residential unit that is being used as a business, industrial, or a commercial establishment?”

Hauser said they’ll get billed on a formula rate.

“They’ll be responsible for billing the people in their service district,” he said. “We’re going to bill them one bill on a wholesale rate for all their usage.”

The item passed unanimously.

Trunk or Treat continued from page 1

Cruz called a drive-thru treat for members of the special populations and the seniors and collaboration based on love.

“It’s something for them to look forward to in these trying times,” he said.

He came dressed as a member of SWAT, and he admitted that it is a recycled costume.

“It’s something I already had, so you know what, it worked,” he said while laughing. “I’m a candy guy and a scaredy-cat guy. “I can’t watch scary movies because I get spooked out. I’m more into treat than into tricks.”

Sandoval said the Oxnard Special Populations hadn’t had any programming because Covid-19 has shut the program down.

“For them, and for me, this is a huge deal,” she said. “We’re bringing them a little bit of hope and bringing their spirit up. We want them to enjoy and have a good time. It’s been difficult

for the Special Populations, but I think the parents have done a wonderful job keeping them at home and following all the CDC guidelines. I know a lot of them want to come out, socialize and have the fun club and the Day at the Park. It’s been hard for everyone, not just them. We manage, and we’ll figure it out together.”

She, too, wore a recycled costume.

“This is kind of like a witch, Dia de Los Muertos costume,” Sandoval said. “I am a candy person, and I like Twix. I take my nephews out trick or treating.”

Martha Jimenez brought candy for the seniors and the Oxnard Special Populations, and she was motivated to come to the event.

“It’s been hard,” she said. “This is a little happiness in the mix of sadness. It’s not the same without the kids.”

She can’t decide between candy and scary movies.

“I like them both at the same time,” she said. “I like Almond Joy. This (candy) was all donations from different people and businesses in the community.”

Alice in Wonderland welcomed all the attendees as they entered Trunk or Treat Street, and she picked the costume, especially for the day.

“A lot of things are happening with Covid, and we don’t know what is going to come next,” she said. “It’s important for everyone to know that the City of Oxnard still cares. We genuinely care about our seniors and our youth. We want them to enjoy themselves in these trying times.”

Alice loves candy.

“Any kind of candy, as long as it’s got sugar,” she said.

Oxnard Police Department Senior Officer Jose Velasquez came out to support the community.

“It’s something we enjoy doing,” he said. “It’s a pleasure to

MEASURE “L” Shall the initiative ordinance to increase the powers of the City Treasurer, limit the City Council’s ability to restrict the powers of the City Treasurer, reduce oversight authority of the City Manager and Director of Finance, mandate the City Treasurer’s assumption of professional responsibilities over the City’s $523,000,000 Budget, $256,000,000 Investment Portfolio, Finance Department, preparation and submittal of the annual municipal budget, and professional financial operations of the City, be adopted?”

be out here and see the kids smile as we hand out gifts. It’s great to have a bunch of people doing a great thing for the city.”

He came dressed in his SWAT gear.

“It could be a costume, but it is my uniform,” he said. “When we do high-risk operations, this is the uniform that I wear.”

He’s a candy person.

“I like several, but my favorite is Almond Joy,” he said.

“Lupé with the Oxnard Police Department helped out, and she donated her time and talent and put the donations together. We’re using this to help the community.

She did a lot of the leg work.”

Alma Valencia came dressed as a Ghostbuster because her son wanted Ghostbusters.

“He likes the movie, and he wanted to bring some joy with this Covid-19 thing,” she said.

“We love Ghostbusters movies.”

She came with chips and loves treats.

“The little ghost (behind her) is not too scary,” she said. “My son is autistic, so he wanted to do everything himself. It’s wonderful to see the kids smile and be amazed.

We’re happy to do this. I’m taking it day-by-day. Working for the city and being able to do different things with Covid-19; helping out the people and seeing their joy is priceless.”

Fernando Garcia and his team gave away pumpkins.

“We had a bunch of pumpkins donated to us, and it was pretty simple because I had the truck to put them back,” he said. “I am a candy-eating guy, and my favorite kind of candy is Twix. I like lots of butter on the popcorn.”

He’s hanging tough through Covid-19.

“We’re still working every day and serving seniors with our home-delivered meals program,” he said. “It’s kept us sane because we’ve been able to walk in and continue to do our work.”

the Ventura County Supervisor’s election. We live in no one’s back pocket.

The greatest compliment a journalist can get, to me, is to be called fair and objective. If you’re examining an issue, talk to both sides. I just did a story like that, and I got all two of the three sides of a controversial story. I tried for all three sides, but one side ignored my email. The readers need to know that too. That says a lot.

We also follow a different editorial formula. We don’t just give you the who, what, where, when, and why with a couple of quotes that make you think

the reporter is paying attention.

We painstakingly include every detail. When you read a Sentry article, you know who said what and why. If you prefer being uninformed, go ahead, there are plenty of other newspapers who give you the gist of what happened.

Our goal is simple. We strive to be the most compelling, informed, and engaging paper anywhere, and we do it while being neutral. During a recent interview, someone told me that the world has become so obsessed with being so mediocre that halfbaked uninspired stories have become accepted and normal. If

you read a paper that gives you the minimum, you are embracing mediocrity.

Well, that’s not me. Today is supposed to be my day off, and I am writing this story because being informed is essential. In fact, every day, I work to trying to top myself. That will be the day that I wake up and say to myself; I think I will do just enough to get by. Damn, my parents. When did this get imprinted in my brain?

Somewhere in heaven right now, I’ll bet my mother and father are watching, and all my other relatives are saying, Ward, Dolores, how did you manage to pull that one off with Goofus?

MEASURE “M” Shall the initiative ordinance mandating meetings of City legislative bodies to use Robert’s Rules of Order, the advance release of pre-recorded staff presentations, obtain guidebooks and training from a professional Parliamentarian on meeting procedures, restrict meeting start times, and alter existing rules for public comment, be adopted?”

Yes: 25,674 No: 20,431

MEASURE “N” Shall initiative ordinance to mandate revisions to Measure 0 (adopted by Oxnard voters in 2008) to either end Measure 0 funding early for City services such as fire, emergency response, street paving/pothole repair, youth recreation, after school and anti-gang prevention programs, parks/open space preservation, and senior services if specific pavement standards for city streets and alleys are not met, or extend currently-approved expiration date if pavement standards are met, be adopted?

Homemade s p i h C a l l i t Tor

By Connor Forbes

Last week we made salsa verde.

But what good is salsa if you don’t have chips? Well the answer is salsa can go on anything, but chips are definitely my favorite pairing. So Today we are going to make our own tortilla chips.

E

VER wonder why chips at restaurants are always so much better than the store bought chips? Its because they are simple and only have 3 ingredients.

Look at the ingredients on the side of a tortilla chip bag and you are likely to see a longer list of fillers and junk. Not here.

The most important ingredient is the corn tortillas. The best tortillas are made from 1 ingredient, stone ground corn. So make sure you are looking at the ingredients here. The major brands generally have fillers and stuff you do not want in your tortilla let alone your body.

Look for the smaller more authentic brands. Southern California has a few great tortilla brands so keep those eyes peeled. But a good tortilla makes for a

Southwinds Pocket Park breaks ground and celebrates

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- It was a joyous celebration at Cuesta Del Mar Pocket Park, Oct. 31, as community leaders, neighborhood volunteers, and kids got together to hold a ground-breaking celebration, followed by a big celebration.

K

IDS had a huge pumpkin decorating circle, followed by lots of games, fun, food, music, and celebration.

The park was in rough shape, but the future looks bright for the space and community.

The pocket park idea came to fruition because of Lucy Cartagena.

“I went to Emilio (Ramirez), who is the new housing director,” she said. “I asked about this empty space, and they want to make green spaces out of empty spaces. I’ll be doing another installation on the corner of C and Sixth streets with another empty property.”

She loves the area.

“They are going to have great art,” she said. “There is going to be a sensory garden here. A sensory garden has sight, smell, see, and taste. This is for the children.

There is not a free sensory garden from Santa Barbara to Thousand Oaks. We’ll have two in the City of Oxnard.”

Lucy loves Halloween candy.

“I love milk chocolate,” she said.

“I’ll be at Oxnard High School tonight, Oct 31. They’ll be doing a drive-by Trunk or Treat. I’m going as myself. I’m scary enough.”

Oxnard Commission on Homelessness Chair Peggy Rivera traveled with Cartagena and said she’s thrilled to see the pocket park come to life.

“This is well-deserved,” she said. “I am happy to be associated with such great women like Lucy and Carolina, who love their community and bring it all together to make things happen.”

The Commission on Homelessness has not met since March because of Covid-19.

“We’re going to meetings starting in Nov,” she said. “It’s going to be a virtual meeting. We’re happy to bring them back. There’s a lot of unfinished work we have to address.”

Despite the extended layoff, Rivera said the committee’s vision is always there.

“The vision is to end homelessness someday,” she said. “Just to keep our attitudes positive and be connected, even if it’s through a voice, is big. They didn’t allow us to have virtual meetings for a little while, so we’re happy to have a vir-

Housing Department is doing a great job,” Rivera said. “We still need a lot more work to happen.”

Southwinds Neighborhood Chair Carolina Gallardo Magana was happy beyond words and kept the kids busy.

“The community has been waiting so long for this,” she said.

“This lot was empty for all of those years. Now, something is getting done for the youth. This is for everybody, but it is more focused on the youth. This will benefit South Oxnard.”

She said the kids helped deco-

is no other project in the whole city like this one. We are the pioneers of something that I hope happens throughout the whole city that benefits the youth, of course.”

Carolina does not like scary movies on Halloween or anytime.

“I do like Scooby Do,” she said.

“My favorite candy is peanut butter Reeses. Any candy with peanut butter is my favorite. I won’t eat it all, but I will share it with the kids and the community.”

Jessica Martinez spent her time drawing on a pumpkin with the

tual meeting. We’d like it to be live because it has a bigger impact on the community, but I don’t think that will happen until next year sometime.”

A lot is going on with the homeless community, she said, including the proposed Navigation Center next to the Oxnard Public Library downtown and repurposing the Vagabond Inn that adds beds for the homeless.

“Emilio Ramirez with the

rate the park for the big day.

“As they saw us decorating, they were curious about it,” she said. “Most of them cut paper. We did it at the food pantry on two different occasions. The kids cut all the paper, and they helped put it up.”

She loves getting the kids involved and making her corner of the world a better place.

“South Oxnard really needs youth programs,” she said. “There

children.

“It’s important to do the community work we’d like to do,” she said. “The kids always teach us a little something.”

She had an image on her phone and was trying to draw some inspiration.

“I’m attempting to draw a Frankenstein right now,” she said while laughing. “We’re with Lauda Valdez, who is part of the project here at Cuesta Del Mar. We try to help

her as much as possible.”

Her husband, Juan Martinez, was also drawing on a pumpkin, and Jessica said he has the most talent.

“He’s actually a muralist by trade, so he’ll have it hands down,” she said.

Juan said he was drawing a pumpkin with “big old teeth.”

“It’s no one in particular,” he said. “It’s just a big-toothed pumpkin that can use a smile.”

Juan discovered his artistic talent in school.

“In the art class I took in college, I realized the teacher did not respect the artistic vision that I had,” he said. “I was told to do it right or don’t do it at all. I felt like I was wasting supplies, and I dropped out of college. At that time, I had a business already, so I dedicated most of my time to painting murals and signs. That was back in 2010.”

Juan is now a muralist and business owner.

“You bring your vision to life,” he said.

Merari Menjivar was busy working on a Halloween pumpkin.

“I’m trying to make it creative and add spooky Halloween colors that are traditional,” she said. “I’m also going to add some fun colors and some different culture colors that represent the Day of the Dead.”

She said Covid-19 makes her sad.

“I normally wanted to do a lot of stuff with my family,” she said.

“Because of Covid-19, we can’t visit or see each other. Most of my family, I haven’t seen for almost a year now. I live next to my cousins and some of my friends. They’re always super nice, kind, and supportive. My brother and my cousins always look after me. I am the oldest. I am supposed to look after them.”

Carolina said kids are always welcome at the pocket park.

“Eventually, we’re going to have containers to put our stuff away,” she said. “We’ll have more programs coming. Everybody can be part of this project.”

The new park is located at 610 Cuesta Del Mar Drive.

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 ju-

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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2020

HEALTH 79th California prison inmate dies of COVID-19 complications AVENAL, Calif. (AP)—An inmate at a central California prison died of complications from the coronavirus Saturday, authorities said, becoming the state’s 79th person to have a fatal case of COVID-19 while they were incarcerated.

T

HE Avenal State Prison inmate died at a hospital, the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a news release. The prisoner’s name was not released.

There have been 15,872 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the state prison system, according to online statistics. The virus has killed more than 17,500 Californians and infected more than 900,000.

Advocates say jails and prisons nationwide are prime locations for

the virus to spread between inmates and staff. Officials have released hundreds of inmates to decrease jail and prison populations across the

country during the pandemic.

The person was the eighth inmate from the Avenal prison to die from the virus, officials said. The

prison, which is located in Kings County about 185 miles (297.73 kilometers) north of Los Angeles, has 24 people who are currently

positive for COVID-19.

Of the 79 state prison inmates known to have died from the coronavirus, 28 were from the San Quentin State Prison. Twenty-six were incarcerated at the California Institution for Men in Chino.

In a privately run San Diego federal jail, at least 56 inmates tested positive for the coronavirus last week in a facility that houses mostly pretrial inmates, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.

The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some—especially older adults and people with existing health problems—it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.

Amid pandemic, in-person voting underway in California

By Adam Beam SACRAMENTO (AP)—Inperson voting started for most California counties this weekend as local election officials—many for the first time—opened polling places days early in hopes of avoiding crushing crowds on Election Day. More than 22 million people are registered to vote in California, nearly 88% of all eligible adults.

That’s the highest percentage heading into a general election in the past 80 years, according to the secretary of state’s office.

This year, all voters got a ballot in the mail, part of the state’s effort to encourage people to vote remotely to avoid spreading the coronavirus that has killed more than 17,500 Californians and infected more than 900,000. So far, more than 9.4 million people have returned their ballot, accounting for nearly two-thirds of all votes Californians cast during the 2016 presidential election.

That points to a potential record-high turnout as vote centers opened in advance of Election Day on Tuesday. The state Legislature agreed to let counties offer fewer polling places this year, but only if they opened them earlier.

But like most things in 2020,

voting in person won’t be the same.

For the primary in March, Santa Barbara County opened 86 traditional polling places on Election Day. But this election, the county planned to have 35 consolidated polling places open on Saturday, three days ahead of Election Day. Registrar of Voters Joe Holland isn’t sure what to expect because, out of roughly 241,000 registered voters, more than 123,000 have already voted.

“This is really fundamentally changing the way America votes,” he said. “The old-fashioned way of voting is history, and it’s really exciting.”

People who do vote in person will be greeted by poll workers who will follow behind them to clean the equipment after they use it. It’s likely to slow down the process and could create long lines.

Officials are also worried about the potential for violence, given the tense political environment this year. Businesses in Beverly Hills and some San Francisco Bay Area counties are boarding up windows and coming up with emergency

plans, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. A report by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project listed California as a “moderate risk” for electionrelated violence.

“We are always gaming out different scenarios,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said earlier this week when asked about the prospect of

violence at the polls. “We’re going to make sure we’re prepared and make sure people are safe in this state.”

The pandemic has also changed how election workers count the ballots.

In a normal year, observers from campaigns and advocacy groups will look over the shoulders of election workers as they count ballots on Election Night, often sharing tight spaces. That’s not possible during a pandemic, with public health orders requiring people to stay socially distant.

In Sacramento County, observers can still watch the county this year through the eyes of a robot, affectionately nicknamed “Clyde,” purchased with the help of grant funding.

County spokeswoman Janna Haynes said Clyde looks like “a tablet riding a Segway,” with its camera projecting video onto a screen in the lobby for observers to monitor.

“He’s pretty stealth,” Haynes said.

Republican President Donald Trump has routinely cast doubts about the integrity of mail-in

voting, a message amplified by social media and conservative media outlets.

California Republicans are working hard to boost turnout through other means.

In Sacramento, the county GOP hosted a drive-thru ballot collection on Saturday, encouraging people to show up in costume to hand over their ballots to “trained collectors” who promise to deliver their ballots to the county elections office on Monday.

In some counties with closely contested U.S. House races— including Orange and Los Angeles—Republicans have set up their unofficial ballot drop boxes to assuage any fears of spooked GOP voters. Secretary of State Alex Padilla initially said those boxes were illegal and ordered them removed. Republicans refused, arguing they are collecting ballots as allowed under state law.

The talk is impacting some Democratic voters, including 50-year-old Krystal Bastyr, who drove her ballot to the Sacramento County elections office earlier this week to deliver it in person.

“I wouldn’t mail it. I won’t even drop it in this box. I’m taking it inside,” she said. “Nobody is going to mess with my vote.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2020

Mayor Elect John Zaragoza

Oxnard-- Ventura County District Five Supervisor John Zaragoza, who is termed out of his office at the county level, has won the Oxnard Mayoral Race.

A

CCORDING to the semi-official final results total on the Ventura County website, Nov 4, Zaragoza received 29,681 votes, followed by Oxnard Planning Commission Chair Deirdre Frank, who received 10,122 votes, and Community Activist Richard Linares with 7,514 votes.

Zaragoza promises to “bring Oxnard more

businesses, a better lifestyle, support for the youth, and bring jobs to the city.”

“Reduce crime rates, increase budget services and continue to work on the environment for the health and well-being of the community,” he said. “I’m terming out from my position at the County of Ventura, but I am motivated to continue to help our city become much more than what it is. Oxnard

needs my help. The budget needs a lot of help, and we need a leader who is going to solve city budgets. We need a leader who is going to bring businesses to downtown, whether it is small businesses, large businesses, and jobs. Without jobs, you don’t have a base. How can somebody eat at a restaurant in Oxnard without a job?

That’s important.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2020

MOVIE REVIEW

By Bob Garver

HONEST THIEF

“Honest Thief ” is a perfectly middle-ofthe-road Liam Neeson action vehicle. Not as bad as “Unknown,” not as good as “Cold Pursuit.” It would get stomped by any real competition at the box office, but of course this is the Era of No Competition. Actually, it’s the Era of No Movies At All in certain parts of the country – including New York City, where I live – so I’m grateful to be able to visit my family in Pennsylvania and see anything in a theater, even something as disposable as this.

N

EESON stars as Tom Dolan, a career bank robber who’s getting bored with his once-exciting line of work. While renting a storage locker for an illgotten $9 million, he meets aspiring psychologist Annie (Kate Walsh), and the two fall in love. A year later, Tom wants Annie to move in with him. There’s just one problem – she doesn’t know that he used to rob banks.

Tom wants to put that chapter of his life behind him so badly that he calls the FBI to turn himself in.

He figures that if he returns all the money (apparently the robberies were all for sport and he never spent any of the money, which raises unanswered questions about how exactly he supports himself), he’ll get a reduced sentence and can get out in a few years with a clear conscience and a girlfriend waiting for him.

The FBI suits set promptly to mucking the whole thing up. First they don’t believe Tom when he tells them he’s the notorious In-N-Out Bandit (he hates the nickname because it makes him sound unprofessional, I’d hate it because it

way than robbing a bank, except of course, for the loose end in Tom. They try to silence him, but this is a Liam Neeson action movie character, so you know he’s got a Very Particular Set of Skills.

The rest of the movie is Tom playing cat-andmouse with Nivens and Hall. Better make it dogcat-mouse since the good FBI, led by Agent Myers (Jeffrey Donovan) is also involved. Myers’ defining character trait is that he has a dog that he got in a divorce, and I can just picture the writers trying to work a dog into the script because they’ve seen “John Wick” too many times. People get crossed (Tom sells out one character rather unnecessarily), murders take place, and Annie gets pulled into danger, but she’s the kind of character that if she doesn’t get killed in Act 1, she’ll probably be okay for the rest of the film.

The story, motives, and even action are secondary in “Honest Thief.” The whole project is merely an excuse for Liam Neeson to do his Liam Neeson thing.

Like his gravelly voice?

You’ll be satisfied. Like to see him making threats over the phone? This movie has you covered. Like to see him interacting with a romantic interest? He and Walsh have good chemistry and they take the material more seriously than it deserves. But this is a bland movie content to play to movie-starved viewers that are willing to settle for bland.

Grade: C-

makes people think of fast food). Highranking agent Baker (Robert Patrick, cast in a small role just to get his name on the poster) doesn’t take Tom’s claim seriously and sends underlings Nivens (Jai Courtney) and Hall (Anthony Ramos) to investigate. Tom is annoyed by the runaround, but cooperates with

Nivens and Hall in a rush to get the unpleasant business over with. The agents need evidence to verify Tom’s claim, so he tells them where they can find some of the money. Except that they don’t keep the money as evidence, they keep it for themselves. They’ve just made millions of dollars in an easier

“Honest Thief ” is playing in theaters, check local listings. The film is rated PG-13 for strong violence, crude references, and brief strong language. Its running time is 99 minutes.
