Oxnard-- The Oxnard City Council on Dec 5, deadlocked on replacing Former Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez.

After reviewing Robert’s Rules of Order, Mayor Pro Tem Bryan MacDonald changed his vote, so option three, which appoints someone right away, followed by an election in Nov., was approved.

The first vote split 3-3 to appoint

Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen

Oxnard-- In his Jan 5 report to the City Council, City Manager Alex Nguyen addressed the Infrastructure Use Fee (IUF) court decision and acknowledged different law interpretations.

Aaron Starr and Alicia Percell from the group Moving Oxnard

Forward maintained that the money the city received from the Infrastructure Use Fee being transferred into the general fund was unlawful and violated “the California Constitution, particularly Proposition 218.”

“Judge Matthew Guasco issued his tentative decision in Starr’s favor, ordering the City of Oxnard to immediately repay all of the money siphoned since

March 2014 – now over $34 million! – back to the city’s three utility enterprises.”

Nguyen advised residents to read the judge’s ruling.

“The lawsuit goes back to actions taken in the city in 2012, 2013 and 2014,” he said.

“The suit itself ensued in 2017.

Clearly, the city made an error n Nguyen,see page 5

A new year with new goals

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

Oxnard-- Happy 2021, everybody! Since I’ve already reviewed why I won’t miss 2020, let me outline some goals as I move into the new year.

I

’VE done this each year for a long as I can remember, and for 2021, like many others, I need to lose the pandemic 20 that I’ve put around my midsection. Fortunately, I have access to exercise equipment that I bought the J-Train that never gets used.

I can lose weight by putting the J-Train in charge of cooking for us each night. We’ve been together for 23.5 years, and she’s never cooked a meal. When we first started dating, I was a fast-food manager, and she decided to help me part-time. One of the popular items we sold each Sunday morning were mini cinnamon rolls. I would come out of my office before opening the store and would find burnt rolls all over the place, except for the first batch that would mysteriously disappear, along with a whole bunch of vanilla shake.

She hid them in her stomach.

I don’t know about you, but burnt food curbs my

appetite. When she makes food for herself, it’s usually vegetables cooked in the microwave. That will help me lose weight too. I’ll keep you posted on that.

I also need to start using the upstairs television more often.

was to develop and enhance Oxnard’s business climate, promote the city’s fiscal health, and support economic growth in a manner consistent with the city’s unique character.”

Nguyen outlined the tasks related to the specific goals in each category.

“We were not able to get into much detail with any of these,” he said. “Overall, we looked at which of these tasks were completed, which of these tasks were started and somewhere in the process, and which were not touched.

Overall, we were able to look at a 55 percent rate that we were able to get things done.

Put into context a few things.

The circumstance of the organization at the time, the challenges and issues the city was experiencing, the fiscal and structural deficit the city was experiencing, and the high rate of turnover, especially among the executive staff. When those are the circumstances of an

about the same for economic development.

“In terms of infrastructure and natural resources, we think we got done about 57 percent, and with organizational effectiveness, we got done about 47 percent,” he said.

That’s an area that I want to continue to focus on.”

Nguyen pointed out that five people served as city manager, six people served as the chief financial officer, and five people served as the public works director in the last decade.

“We had six people serve in the human resources position and seven as the fire chief,” he said. “It’s easy to see that makes for tremendous challenges in terms of trying to achieve a high-functioning organization.”

With the number of tasks the city had, 131 of them, many of them were lofty.

“It’s important to be aspirational, but you also have

Nguyen said all the priorities lacked resources, people, or programs.

“Therefore, the com­ ple­ tion rate is not spectacular,” he said. “The other thing that I noticed when reviewing these back in 2018, and recently, many of these aspirations and goals were not easy to measure based on the way they were framed. It’s important to have achievable aspirations and goals with a timeline matching resources and measurable milestones along the way.”

Nguyen said the police department met most of its goals, and the city did experience success among its struggles.

“There were various goals provided for the recreation department,” he said. “In that same period, the recreation department took the bulk of the physical cuts. They have done a stunning job with what they were left with in terms of financial support. It’s difficult to set goals to require our recreation staff to achieve,

HE group also looked ahead at the 2021-2025 priority-setting framework and offered feedback to the staff.

The city’s 2016-2020 priorities were inspirational, but it also experienced plenty of organizational troubles.

The item was informational and did not require any decisions by the council.

City Manager Alex Nguyen presented the item to the council and said before he arrived in Oxnard, he knew it would be difficult for the city to achieve its goals.

“The broad categories from the 2016-2020 period make perfect sense for this or any community,” he said. “The four categories are quality of life, economic development, organizational effectiveness, infrastructure, and natural resources. I believe we still

need to focus on those topics, but of course, the council can choose any other to either replace or add when we go forward with this.”

Quality of Life For some context, quality of life is intended to straighten and stabilize the city’s organizational foundation in finance, information technology, and human resources.

“Improve workforce quality while increasing transparency to the public,” he said. “In the area of infrastructure and natural resources, the goal was to establish, preserve, and improve our infrastructure and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and efficient use of available funding.”

Council changes committee system

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The City Council reorganized itself, Jan 5 and changed meeting times for the committee system.

The committees will still meet every other week but will do so in the evening, after 5 p.m. due to the voters’ passed Measure M on Nov 3.

The committee number will change from five to three and meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month.

Two council members will be needed for each committee.

Mayor John Zaragoza will serve on all three committees.

City Manager Alex Nguyen called the changes interim until the matter gets settled before a judge.

“We will begin at 5 p.m. with the Finance & Governance Committee,” Nguyen said. “We are scheduling these for 1.5 hours each with a 15-minute break in between. They are separate meetings. It’s not like one continuous meeting.”

Councilman Bert Perello

For Finance & Governance, Zaragoza will chair the committee, along with Councilwoman Gabriela Basua, and the Council Member from District two, which is currently vacant, will serve.

“At 6:45 p.m., we are consolidating Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development,” Nguyen said. “The chair will be Mayor Pro Tem Bryan MacDonald, alongside

Council Member Madrigal and Mayor Zaragoza,” Nguyen said. “The third committee for the evening begins at 8:30 until 10 p.m., which is the Public Works & Transportation Committee. The chair will be Council Member Bert Perello, along with Council Member Vianey Lopez and Mayor Zaragoza.”

Starting next week, the presentations will be prerecorded, and staff will no longer make the presentations

at the committee meetings.

“We’ll go straight to clarifying questions, public comments, and deliberations,” Nguyen said. “One will need to view the presentations ahead of time. They will be available and embedded in the published agenda. There will be additional links to view the video. We will be implementing Robert’s Rules of Order. We don’t have the formal training, but we’re working on that.

Public comments for each of these will be three minutes for each person. This also applies to our other legislative bodies, the Planning Commission and the CAGs (Citizen Advisory Groups) we’re working to transform those, as well in order to comply with the vote of the people on Measure M.” During Council comments, Perello asked if they’ll still get the pre-recorded presentations in compliance with the Sunshine Ordinance.

“Yes, councilmember, we will endeavor to meet those deadlines,” Nguyen said.

cuts. As we go forward into the next round, we need to make them realistic and achievable.”

Nguyen plans to take the priorities back to each committee so that they can provide feedback to the staff and take the input to the public and refine the priorities for 2021-2025.

“We had an ongoing community survey last year, and we want to update that continually,” he said. “Based on what we learned at the committees, we want to do a survey with the community during Feb; then we would like to schedule a special council meeting for a workshop for the council to see the results of the survey and see whatever public input we have and see more public input from the surveys and what the council discusses at the committees.

We on staff will make some recommendations, but the council needs to have a discussion amongst yourself after you’ve heard the feedback for the community and staff. The council should then sort out its priorities for the next five-year period.”

This story will continue on Jan. 15.

here. The court’s ruling laid that out, and it’s simple to understand. We are going to have to, according to the judge’s ruling, return $34.5 million to our utilities. This ruling issued at the end of Dec is not a final ruling, but we expect the final ruling to come out at the end of this month or in Feb.” The court reserves jurisdiction to address issues in the ruling.

“The city is developing options for the council,” he said. “One of them includes a new rate study that addresses the court’s concerns. We will

be addressing this and taking responsibility for this. I want to say that it’s a different scenario when you look at addressing the mistake but also correcting it. It’s different from the intention of getting rid of it altogether.

That is something the court ruling doesn’t tell that we have to do. It doesn’t tell us that we have to get rid of the IUF. It’s clear that we are able to do it correctly. We will be presenting our options to the council this month when those decisions are made, and I’ll be reporting back out to the public.”

Nguyen also informed the audience that Covid-19 cases continue to rage in Oxnard.

The situation has been going on for so long that Nguyen lost count of what surge the city currently faces.

Ventura County diligently reports the daily statistics about Covid-19, so he gave a quick snapshot.

“Looking back on July 2, we had 144 new cases reported that day as compared to a few days ago,” he said. “Back in July, we had 3,240 total cases in the county.

As of New Year’s Eve, we had 1,582 new cases that day and

43,545 total cases. Clearly, this pandemic is not going away soon. I understand that you’re all hopeful regarding some of the new vaccines being slowly released. There are other vaccines on the way. There is a challenge of logistics, distribution, and timing to get the vaccine out to more people.”

While residents wait for a vaccine, Nguyen reminded people about the basic things to stop the spread.

“I want to remind everyone to wear a mask, wash your hands properly and frequently, and keep a

physical and social distance away from people who are not members of your household,” he said. “That’s also if you’re going out for essential needs like work or going to the grocery store.

Even in the grocery store and places like that, it’s very important to keep a physical distance from other shoppers.”

He related about going to the grocery store where everyone is masked and sixfeet apart in the checkout line. Everywhere else, people are bunched together.

“It’s a public service

reminder to keep our distance in those types of situations,” he said. For more information about financial help, visit covid19.ca.gov/ get-financial-help/.

“Given the recent increase in our 911 calls, I have authorized the fire department to reassign some of our people who can provide paramedic service,” Nguyen said. “We’re looking at providing $25,000 over the next three months to help get through this surge.

I expect we’ll be able to get that reimbursed through the Covid relief package.”

win-win solution.

I also want to get shades for my eyes for bed. When the J-Train and I go to bed at night, she likes to read, and I like to sleep. The light stops me, so I start asking her to turn off the light. That never happens, and she always falls

asleep with the light on. This is another win-win.

I also want to be less silly around the house. For example, if I clean up after the dogs, I should stop placing the dog’s business in the cat box. Now, Ziggy is a problem, and he’s taken

out his boredom and dislike of Buddy on the furniture and anything sitting on the kitchen counter. However, playing practical jokes on the cat is wrong.

I’ll also plan on being more sociable on the road. If someone tailgates me, I will

speed up or change lanes.

I’ll stop slowing down and giving them the finger.

One thing I won’t let go of is how Covid-19 screwed so many people and businesses.

Stopping business is a complete brand of idiocy.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2021

SENIORS 805 95-year-old interrupts mask-making by surviving COVID-19

By Andrew Welsh-Huggins MARYSVILLE, Ohio (AP)—When the coronavirus pandemic began, Miriam Looker sprang into action at the behest of her stepson, a central Ohio doctor.

Looker, 95, used her supply of quilting materials and soon was making up to 10 masks a day at her assisted living facility in Marysville, about 30 miles (48.28 kilometers) northwest of Columbus. Then, as she pushed well over 1,000 masks, Looker took a break—to recover from COVID-19 herself.

“It was kind of my turn, I guess,” she said.

After feeling exhausted and taking a lot of naps in November, Looker was feeling like herself again and started back in. She cuts out patterns at night and adds pleats while watching the news, then inserts elastic straps the next day.

The masks have gone to her stepson’s patients, residents at Walnut Crossing Assisted Living Community where Looker lives, churches, hospice groups

“She’s just like Rosie the Riveter from WWII,” he said. “She went from making quilts to making masks. She changed her assembly line overnight.”

While in Dayton, Looker met her first husband, Delbert Ford, a paratrooper trainer. At war’s end they moved to Beloit, Wisconsin, where they raised four children. Eventually, at age 60, Looker earned a two-year degree in computer science at Edison Junior College—now Florida SouthWestern State College—in Fort Myers. She hasn’t ruled out finishing a four-year degree.

“I’m thinking about it,” she said.

These days, Looker spends her time quilting, reading mysteries, staying current on politics and playing bingo.

She uses her iPad to FaceTime with her children and grandchildren, do puzzles and check email.

She attributes her longevity to her parents’ own long lives and a secret she shares: “Eat fruit every day.”

Looker knows there are coronavirus skeptics, and people who don’t want to wear masks or think it won’t help. “If wearing a mask helps other people, you need to be doing it,” Looker said.

and schools.

“It’s something to do when you’re tired of reading and tired of whatever is going on, or don’t want to do it,” Looker said. “I can always sew, and it was fun.”

Looker now estimates she’s made about 1,700 masks, slightly ahead of a fellow resident who’s pushing 1,300 of her own.

It’s not the first time Looker has worked with material in an effort to save lives. In 1943, she had just finished her first year at Glenville St. College in her hometown of Glenville, West Virginia, when military recruiters came looking for women for the war effort.

After a summer training stint at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, she found herself in Dayton at what was then called Wright Field—today’s Wright-Patterson Air Force Base—testing parachutes for the army. Testers would watch the troopers jump, record their hang time, then inspect parachutes for damage.

That experience explains a lot about her efforts to help during the pandemic, said her stepson, family practice Dr. Joseph Linscott.

Menthol cigarettes are the tobacco industry’s racist weapon of choice in Black communities.

So enough with the death of our people.

Death to the racist ways of the tobacco industry.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2021

Port caps off 2020 with big legislative win Port Hueneme--As most eyes were focused on the coronavirus relief package this past week, ports all across America were waiting for President Trump to sign the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 (WRDA).

Included in the Act were provisions ensuring more funding would start flowing to the Port of Hueneme to maintain and improve the harbor, increasing the Port’s typical Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) funding by more than tenfold.

“

AS the pandemic has stretched our industry thin, the news of this increased funding is exactly what we need to continue making sure we can accommodate the vessels and cargo needed to keep our region recovering,” Oxnard Harbor District President Jess J. Ramirez said. “I would like to

thank Congresswoman Julia Brownley for leading the charge, and Congressman Salud Carbajal and Congressman Mike Garcia for supporting this historic legislation.”

“Safe and secure water infrastructure is crucial to ensuring that our country and our economy keep moving forward,” Congresswoman Julia Brownley said. “In Ventura County, we know the importance of proper maintenance of our harbors and ports, which is critical for local businesses and for our way of life. I am also pleased that the bill included language I supported to ensure that

donor ports, like the Port of Hueneme, receive a fair share of resources from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund. The Port of Hueneme contributes far more than it receives back. Donor port equity will ensure that the Port of Hueneme – which is a key economic driver in our region — has resources to address infrastructure needs and keep goods flowing to fuel our local and regional economy.”

Since its enactment under President Reagan, the HMT Fund has been funded by a tax on imported cargo, certain domestic cargo, and cruise vessels. Each year, Congress allocates a

percentage of the collected tax for maintaining the harbors across the nation.

However, not all collected taxes have been distributed each year, and instead, they have accumulated in the fund for use later. Ports pushed for that time to be now, and it worked. The new legislation provides that 100 percent of HMT collected be spent each year and requires that the unused remaining balance of the HMT Fund be expended by 2030. For Hueneme, this means an increase from $140,000 annually to potentially over $2 million by 2025.

“After several attempts to unlock the HMT Fund

and bring more parity and exponentially more funding to Hueneme and California’s three other donor ports, we have finally succeeded,” CEO & Port Director Kristin Decas said. “This means more funding to keep our harbor well prepared to accommodate new vessels and keep our infrastructure in top shape. The diverse coalition to get this over the finish line is a true testament to how important our ports are in rebuilding and sustaining our nation’s economy.”

The nation’s nine donor ports, including the Port of Hueneme, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and San Diego, have

long generated millions more in HMT revenues than they have ever received back for maintenance. In comparison, the majority of the nation’s other 270 plus ports see a much higher percentage of their HMT funds come back to them for use in their specific harbors. Correcting this equity issue has been a top priority for the nation’s donor ports, energy transfer ports, and emerging harbors for the past decade.

The port calls this victory is a monumental step in the right direction. The ports will now need to advocate how the remaining decades-long unused balance of the HMT Fund will be allocated during the next Congressional appropriations process slated for early summer.

The historic achievement was accomplished through a large coalition spanning the nation and the political aisle led by the American Association of Port Authorities, the California Association of Port Authorities, California’s Congressional Delegation, and countless Washington, D.C. visits by the Port’s Board of Harbor Commissioners.

The third option is a hybrid of the two default options, he said, which provides that any person appointed can only hold office until the date of a special election, which is immediately called to fill the term’s remainder.

“Any special election under those options would be subject to a requirement that it couldn’t occur earlier than 114 days,” he said. “The council has 60 days to make this decision,” he said. “The options for special election dates in the year we are now in are limited to March of this year and Nov. Because of that time limit, with how much lead time there has to be for a special election once called, the March election can’t occur under the statutory requirements.

If a special election is called and the number two option is taken, the vacancy would remain open until the results of the special election in Nov were certified and the results declared. For the better part of 11 months, there would be a vacancy in the district two council seat.”

If the council chooses to

appoint a council member for district two, he said whoever gets selected would serve the remainder of Ramirez’s term.

“Basically until the results of the Nov 2022 election were declared,” Fischer said.

“There is no set procedure for making an appointment.

Based on how we’ve seen other cities do it, one way is to call for applications.

The council can direct staff to solicit applications, leave that application period open for a period-of-time and leave it open until the 20th. That would give an opportunity for people to be notified within district two of this vacancy if the council wishes to fill it with an appointment.”

Once the application deadline passes, he said the council would schedule a special meeting to interview the applicants and ask the public for input.

“That gives the council an opportunity to reach that decision within the 60-day deadline,” Fischer said.

According to the county registrar’s office, a special election for district two,

which would be a standalone decision, will cost $93,000, plus legal publication costs.

“Under the special election timeline, if the vacancy gets filled through that method, once the election results are declared, the winner of the special election would serve the remainder of the term,” he said. “Based on the time it would take to declare the results of the 2022 election, it will be in Dec 2022.”

The third provision in the ordinance offers additional flexibility that can be implemented in the current 60-day period the council has to decide.

“A proposed ordinance to implement that third option is in the packet,” he said.

“The council can approve the ordinance by title only and waive further reading to amend the city code and allow an appointed council member to serve until a special election is held.”

Councilman Bert Perello asked what the criteria were to create districts other than making them equal.

“The council was presented numerous maps to

create the council districts,” Fischer said. “Through the process, we used a districting consultant. That’s a process we will be starting again this year once we receive the new census data in a few months.”

District two’s total ideal population is 32,984, and the goal is to have an equal population distribution among the districts.

“As summarized by the League of Women Voters, the order priorities for creating district boundaries are geographic contiguity, communities of interest preservation, geographic integrity, compactness and easily identifiable by residence and prohibiting favoritism by partisanship,” he said.

Fremont South Neighborhood Council Chair Gabriel Tehran said his council sent a formal letter to the council about District two during public comments.

“I actually, as an individual, share the viewpoint our neighborhood came up with,” he said.

“After looking at the election

code, staff material, and the report, I have to support an appointment, option one,” he said. “The election code will not allow a special election to happen until Nov 2021.

“That is 11 months that our district will go without a dedicated representative at the table for a number of important issues coming up this year. There’s Measure E allocations, the five-year priorities, the homeless shelter being proposed in district two, and the fiscal year coming up for the City of Oxnard. If we do a special election, not only would we have to wait, if we do option three, which is an appointment and a special election, the cost of $93,000 plus, I feel in any other circumstances, the people’s voice at the ballot box is a priority. Representation is far more important to me right now. We can’t go 11 months without that representation.”

Pat Brown said if she lived in district two, she would want the council to appoint someone.

This story will continue on Jan. 15.

someone right away and hold an election in Nov. The council also tied 3-3 on a vote to appoint someone right away without an election.

The council rejected by a 4-2 vote to hold a special election and leave the seat vacant for 11 months.

The vacancy arose when Ramirez got sworn in as County Supervisor.

City Attorney Stephen Fischer told the council that it could call a special election or appoint someone to the council right away.

The council can also adopt an ordinance that modifies the default statutory procedures to fill city council vacancies.

“The City Council can adopt an ordinance to modify the two options in various ways,” Fischer said. “Those ways include requiring that a special election be called and requiring a special election of petitions bearing a specified number of signatures are filed. That option also allows the council to call for a special election without filing a petition.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2021

TO THE EDITOR:

CBSLA, VC STAR AND SIMI VALLEY SPOKESPERSON ARE “SUPER SPREADERS” OF COVID PROPAGANDA This commentary has to do with two online articles: one from CBSLA and the other from the VC Star. Both articles included quotes from Simi Valley Deputy City Manager, Samatha Argabrite. The headlines referred to Simi Valley businesses can now call cops on people who refuse to wear masks, cause scenes and get help removing them from their property. Below is a deconstruction of the propaganda contained in these two articles.

W

HAT promp­ ted these two articles was a YouTube of me SPEAKING to a store manager at Valley Marketplace regarding State and Federal laws the store is breaking by not allowing a person to shop without a face covering.

Argabrite used terms which implied my behavior was belligerent, difficult, making a scene and causing an unsafe environment and a disturbance.

First of all, the definition of “disturbance” is: “Something which interrupts the quiet, rest or peace. To hinder, an instance of commotion, an outbreak of disorder, breach of public peace, causing a loss of tranquility, upsetting or troubling, disquieting.”

How is speaking to a manager about the rule of law a “disturbance.”

Also, it’s incomprehensible

to me that the Simi Valley Chief of Police, David Livingstone, called that discussion with the manager an “incident” and was the reason they implemented this communistic policy. That’s like a customer speaking to a checker about a product and calling it a disturbance or an incident.

Propaganda Propaganda is the coordinated attempt to influence and shape opinions and conduct.

It is not a consensual process. It’s not an attempt to persuade people by rationally arguing or presenting facts as they are using logic and reason.

It’s about manipulating information in order to get them to think or behave in a way they wouldn’t otherwise do unless being subjected to that propaganda.

Propaganda is more

subtle: it uses distortion, exaggerating, omission of facts that is convenient to the narrative they are trying to promote.

They direct people in one direction and they flip truth on its head: white is black and black is white, i.e., the villains are the heroes, and the heroes are demonized.

This is Orwellian doublespeak.

Everything is opposite of what they want you to think.

The CBS, VC Star and Samatha Argabrite used all of these deceptive weapons.

In addition to exaggerating my demeaner, Argabrite and the reporters omitted three key facts: (1) The outcome of the interview ended positively in that we were allowed to shop and the manager even asked my permission if he could take my educational handouts to show his boss; (2) I was exempt according to CDPH guidelines, and (3) “no shoes, no shirt, no service” does not apply to private commercial entities who are Public Accommodations doing commercial business.

Media on Trial Journalists rely on official sources; and it’s the reason they can’t report news independently. They report what the people in government want them to say.

Why didn’t these reporters do some research, read, and be at best informed about what they are writing about.

Why didn’t they look at data, multiple reports, triangulate

viewpoints and make sure they were on the right track?

Why didn’t they challenge the fact there is no connection between deaths and cases; or why question all the fuss for a flu with a 99.4 percent recovery rate?

Why did they omit that according to OSHA scientists, masks don’t stop viruses (tinyurl.com/ OSHA-Facts), or include how the CDC reported masks are ineffective (tinyurl.com/ mask14); or never mentioned the W.H.O. report about how asymptomatic people do not spread COVID (tinyurl.com/ asymptomatic19)?

The implication or statement that wearing a mask saves lives by “a safe and comfortable environment” is propaganda. Where is the evidence? Why didn’t the reporter admit that masks are just an illusion of safety, or they are more dangerous because they are carrying around germs in their “face diapers”?

Since when is safety #1?

No! Freedom is #1. And a mask doesn’t show you care — it frightens people by concealing their identity.

Why didn’t the reporter point out how Ironic that the very people who are afraid of a disease, will lineup to have that very disease injected into their body. How does that make any sense?

Why didn’t the reporter support these viewpoints?

Who is supporting the effort of those who don’t want to wear these useless masks?

Our bodies are designed to

build herd immunity. We don’t live in fear; fear is the true killer.

I could go on and on, but I hope you get the picture. The picture is that media coverage on COVID resides in a hermetically sealed bubble.

The mainstream media, like these local papers, are super spreaders of fake news. The real pandemic is fake news.

Dr. Conkey’s Candy and Coffee Shop —CBS interview Later I found out (through another employee) that before the interview, the reporter cornered the store manager, and put her up to saying: “she is glad she will have the option to call the police….so we don’t have to work with someone who’s irate”.

As it stands, from first-hand experience, this store has no problem with people not wearing a mask!

Th propaganda technique used here was misdirection, i.e., directing people in one direction.

The co- owner also admitted to me that “plants” (Karen’s) have been placed in stores in order to create more propaganda!!

In summary, how sad that the media has distorted this “pandemic” so badly that much of the general public is celebrating villains and hissing at heroes and even —perversely enough — celebrating the destruction of their own lives and their children’s lives.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2021

FILM REVIEW

“WONDER WOMAN 1984”

By Bob Garver “Wonder Woman 1984” is the closest thing we’ll get to a theatrical blockbuster this holiday season. After only one weekend, the film already has the fifth-highest domestic box office ($16.7 million) of any film released in the last nine months of 2020. I was initially shut out of getting a ticket for a Christmas Day screening before the one viable theater upped its number of showings for that day. Never mind the simultaneous HBO Max release, I want audiences (if able and comfortable, and of course following all safety protocols) to support theaters by seeing this movie on the big screen – even if the movie itself isn’t all that great.

S

ET 66 years after the WWIera original, the new film finds the unaging Diana Prince

aka Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) trying to lead a quiet life. Diana spends most of her time working as an anthropologist at

the Smithsonian and occasionally foiling crimes as her alter ego.

She doesn’t have much of a social circle since friends will probably ask too many questions about her history and no lover could ever replace Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), her boyfriend who was killed in the first movie. It’s like pulling teeth for Diana to have lunch with her frumpy colleague Barbara (Kristen Wiig), who envies Diana’s intelligence, beauty, and suspiciously highlydeveloped athletic abilities.

The Smithsonian comes into possession of an artifact – a Dreamstone that grants wishes. Diana jokingly wishes that she had Steve back and Barbara sincerely wishes she could be more like Diana. Fraudulent oil magnate Max Lord (Pedro Pascal) steals the Dreamstone and wishes to become imbued with its powers.

Now he can grant any wish asked of him, and since the Dreamstone is essentially a monkey’s paw that always takes as much as it gives, he can take whatever he wants from wishers. There are a few rules, like any one person can only get one wish, but basically he has successfully wished for unlimited wishes in his obsessive quest for power.

Diana and Barbara’s wishes took place before Lord took over the Dreamstone, so he doesn’t have power over them, but their wishes still count.

Diana is soon joined by a resurrected Steve, and the two rekindle their love.

Barbara is soon popular and admired and curiously strong. The two realize that it’s dangerous for any one

person to have control of the Dreamstone and Diana, as Wonder Woman, will have to stop Lord. This is easier said than done because the Dreamstone is gradually taking away her powers. She can still yank a padlock clean off a door, but it’s momentarily difficult. Barbara’s price for becoming more like Diana is that she loses her

humanity, becoming an antagonist who doesn’t want Diana to take the Dreamstone from Lord. Since she unintentionally got some of Diana’s Wonder Woman powers in the deal, she’s now especially dangerous.

The good news about “Wonder Woman 1984” is that Lord is a pathetic, yet compelling villain.

You’ll be wondering how he’ll abuse his power next as things spin further and further out of control.

The bad news is that I can’t say the same for Diana and Barbara.

Barbara is basically doing Michelle Pfeiffer’s schtick from “Batman Returns,” right down to eventually beco­ ming a cat-themed villain. Diana is disap­ pointingly flat. There will be stretches where you’ll forget that she’s supposed to be the main character, and there are only about five scenes where she’s even in Wonder Woman mode.

There’s an arc about how she has to learn to reject lies, starting with an exciting athletic competition, but concluding with her taking way too long to make an obvious decision and then rousing the world with a speech that wouldn’t be very convincing if there weren’t already plentiful evidence that she’s right. This movie has the release date and the franchise appeal to justify a great box office performance, just not the story or dialogue or overall charisma.

Grade: C “Wonder Woman 1984” is playing in theaters and streaming on HBO Max. The film is rated PG-13 for sequences of action and violence.

Its running time is 151 minutes.
