Muscles & Mojo at the Murph highlights the classics By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

Oxnard-- People who enjoy classic cars and trucks got a special treat on Dec. 1, as Muscles & Mojo at the Murphy brought a great crowd together that loves the classics. The event had a light turnout, but it didn’t disappoint anyone, as attendees got to see unique vehicles at the Murphy Auto Museum. The event featured plenty of hot coffee, danishes, and good company as attendees enjoyed swapping stories about their rides. Leading the way was Fireball Tim Lawrence, who said Fireball is not his nickname. "That's my legal first name," he said. "My parents gave me that name. I grew up in a Hollywood family, and my parents were writers in the 1960s. My dad wrote "The Outer Limits" and some Twilight Zones." His parents gave him a name that would create "some kind of destiny," but he avoided it in high school. "As I started getting into my name when I went into the film industry as a designer," he said. "I designed cars for about 400 films, along with costumes and weapons." His company took off, and he now runs Fireball Publishing. "I work with David Neal, and I am the design director for the museum," he said. "We joined forces, and now we get to play with cars." Muscles & Mojo at the Murph happens every first Sunday of the month. "We usually have lots of classics, rat rods, muscle cars, and trucks," he said. The duo hosts a second car show in Malibu on the third Sunday of the month called "Wheels & Waves." The collection at the Murph includes cars the museum owns, along with stored vehicles.

OPENS WITH A BANG AT THE

Channel Islands Farmers Market By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard--The holiday shopping season is off and running, and smart shoppers kicked off their buying at the Channel Islands Farmers Market Holiday Marketplace, Dec. 1.

ENDORS were ready for the crowd and offered the perfect choices for under the tree on Christmas morning. TK from Super Cream USA was helping people with his cream, which is an all-natural skin conditioner, which aids people who suffer from pain and inflammation. "It was originally developed for

pain because of the arnica," he said. "It is all-natural and has no chemicals or parabens. It's vegan, so it's great for pets, as well." The product caught on big, he said, but people started using it on their skin, so they changed the name. "It used to be called Relieve Lotion," TK said.

Council passes retail cannabis ordinance By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- On first reading, Dec. 3, the Oxnard City Council amended the Oxnard City Code to create Regulations for Cannabis Retail Dispensaries. The approval marks the last legislative step in a process that has been part of a go-slow approach to bring cannabis to the city. The item also means a new revenue stream for the city, which is facing a budget crunch. The passage does not mean an end to the budget woes, but council members agree

that it will help. Planning and Sustainability Manager Kathleen Mallory presented the item to the council, and she said the journey towards embracing cannabis began in 2017. During the legislative process, the council took action and defined sensitive uses, so it's consistent with state law. "Through that process, we have developed conceptual maps that implement that feedback the council gave us about the sensitive use buffers," she said. The state's definition of sensitivity use outlines a 600-foot buffer from

"The jurisdiction can reduce the buffer, provided you include that reduction by distance in your ordinance. State law does not provide a buffer from residential uses or religious institutions. It's defined as a public, private charter, K-12, commercial daycare, and public parks." During the planning commission phase, the commissioners wanted to

add residential land use as sensitive land use. The planning commission approved the item 4-3. "That was not a piece of information with data analysis we had at that planning commission meeting," she said. Adding residential land use brought the number of potential cannabis sites down from 643 sites to 146 parcels. "This is a big, wide deviation of what the state law defines as a sensitive use," she said. "In our neighboring jurisdictions, only Thousand Oaks n Retail Cannabis, see page 2

Oxnard Police arrests commercial burglary suspect Oxnard-- On Dec. 1, 2019, at approximately 1:35 A.M., Oxnard Police Department Officers responded to a commercial burglary that just occurred at Tomas Café. Private security personnel witnessed a suspect leaving the business and discarding a cash register. When officers arrived on the scene, they began checking the area for the suspect. Suspect Juan Cardenas was seen running through the businesses in Heritage Square. Cardenas was contacted, trying to leave the area and detained. It was at this time a second burglary was discovered at El Pollo Norteno, where the cash register was also removed. Officers discovered both cash registers from both businesses at the scene. Suspect Cardenas was arrested for two counts of 459 PC – Burglary.

Oxnard-- The Oxnard City Council had a surprise visitor during public comments at the Dec. 3, meeting, as Santa Claus made a trip down from the North Pole. Santa, along with Mrs. Claus, graced the council chambers along with a bunch of elves who handed out candy canes to the crowd. Mayor Tim Flynn greeted Santa and told him that he looks like he's gained some weight. "I was trying to lose weight so I can gain more on Christmas night with all the cookies and tamales," Santa said. Saint Nick is excited about all the things going on in Oxnard, starting with the Christmas Tree lighting at Plaza Park at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. "We have a great show," Santa said. "It's going to be fantastic. They're going to hit the switch and light the tree. The next day, Saturday, Dec. 7, we have our Christmas parade. Are you excited about that? We have about 105 floats."

After that, Santa said there are going to be Santa tours around the city from Dec. 17 until Dec. 22. The sleigh is going to go around the entire city. "Bring the kids and the family," he said. "This is a season of joy. Spread the

joy, help the needy, and help the poor. Keep that Christmas spirit alive." Flynn asked Santa how many tamales he would eat on Christmas Eve. "I can eat about 105," Santa said. "They're going to be heated up with

Police respond to rollover accident

Oxnard-- At 3:32 p.m. Nov. 30, officers responded to an injury collision at the intersection of Channel Islands Blvd. and San Marino Street. Arriving officers found one vehicle on its side, resting up against a water main support barrier. There were three occupants in the two vehicles that were involved. Fortunately, none of them suffered any injury beyond a complaint of pain. From the investigation, police believe that a driver tried making a left turn and drove into the path of an

oncoming black SUV (shown in the photos). After the initial collision, the black SUV went out of control, drove onto the sidewalk, collided into a main water barrier, and came to rest on its side. Traffic accident statistics show that making a left turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle is one of the more common primary collision factors in our city. One of the Department's four main priorities is to improve traffic safety in our community by educating the community and conducting traffic enforcement.

Oxnard-- Each year, during the holiday shopping season, the Oxnard Police Department deploys additional officers to local highvolume shopping centers to prevent and deter criminal activity. Our goal is to provide a safe environment for holiday shoppers. On Nov. 29, at approximately 5:25 p.m., the Oxnard Police Department received a call from loss prevention employees at Home Depot, 401 W. Esplanade Drive, who described a theft of power tools in progress. The loss prevention employees said they immediately recognized the suspect from prior thefts and again observed him concealing additional store merchandise on his person. Officers who were patrolling the Esplanade Shopping Center arrived shortly after the call was received and positioned themselves outside the store while communicating with loss prevention employees. A few minutes later, suspect Joshua Nunnes walked outside the store after failing to pay for the merchandise he still had concealed on his person. As officers

approached, Nunnes immediately discarded some of the stolen items and ran through the parking lot in an attempt to getaway. Officers gave chase and were able to apprehend Nunnes a short distance away. During a search of Nunnes, he was found to have additional stolen Home Depot merchandise on his person. The total value of the stolen merchandise was over $420. Nunnes was transported to the Ventura County Jail, where he was booked on charges of theft, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting arrest.

is using that. Port Hueneme, Ojai, and some of the other jurisdictions are not looking at residential uses." The city has a phased rollout of how many retail outlets can come forward, so it doesn't mean there are going to be 146 parcels. "In years three through five, council took action to approve up to 16 dispensaries during that five-year period," she said. Additionally, the Planning Commission expressed concern about selling vaping products in dispensaries. The staff recommends leaving that issue to the state and federal regulations. "The final recommendation from the planning commission was to include new downtown zoning areas where we would allow potential retail," Mallory said. "We support that. That would potentially add in 132 new parcels." The staff supported two of the downtown zones for potential cannabis locations and recommended to the council that it use a 600-foot buffer definition.

Mallory said adding the two new downtown areas, including the core and general areas, add locations where potential cannabis retailers can locate. "We recommend that all retail locations be permitted through a special use permit process," she said. "Some of the areas you see on the mapping include the Sakiokaspecific plan area," she said. "We're proposing a retail dispensary in this area. Also, you'll see in the Rose and Santa Clara areas, other cannabis uses, manufacturing, and distribution." The city proposes retail cannabis in the C1, C2, and CPD zones. "We've received some questions about the C2 zones that have the AH designation, the affordable housing designation," she said. "We did not include potential retail dispensaries on C2AH or C1AH properties with the intent of preserving our affordable housing sites. Down the road, should the council decide through our housing element update that they want to re-

designate parcels without the AH overlay, parcels could be feasible if you take that action." The ordinance also creates operating requirements and storefront standards. Dispensaries not only have a physical storefront but also have a delivery feature. "The ordinance before you has retail cannabis standards and delivery standards, as well," she said. Currently, delivery is allowed without discretionary permitting, according to state law. "All of our ordinance requirements are based on extensive collaboration with the police and fire departments, as well as the city manager and city attorney's office, and our consultant, HdL," she said. Best practices built into the ordinance include requiring on-site security personnel, an emergency response plan, for fires, robberies, and evacuations, an alarm system with a yearly inspection, first responder (emergency) access, a cash handling plan, cameras in collaboration

with the police department, and a buzz to enter system, along with developing system requirements and protocols with the police department. "There's been some question about buzz to enter, and we're recommending that it continues to be a standard that you put in the ordinance as a security measure," she said. Phase one of the permit review included obtaining a zoning verification letter from the city's planning division, she said, and the city will go through the live scan background check process. "We'll have them submit the application for determination of eligibility," she said. The city will determine if they are eligible, and if they are, they'll proceed to phase two, which is an evaluation and initial ranking of their application. "The third would be if they meet certain criteria and percentage, an interview and ranking would be part of phase three," she said. "There will be a ranking that comes out of

that interview that enables an applicant to go to phase four., which is file an application for a special use permit." The special use permit for retail cannabis will go to the planning commission. "The notification will be the same," she said. "The site will be posted; there will be a public mailing and engagement for the special use permit at the planning commission for the retail dispensaries. That process is the same for what we are doing for manufacturing, processing, and distribution." Council gave feedback on the proposed social equity program, which the city rebranded as local equity. "We have that program written, and we had a good community meeting," Mallory said. "The community participated, and they continue to give us feedback." The application window for manufacturing testing and distribution is closed, she said, and the city is currently in phase three for manufacturing and distribution. The city did not receive any testing

applications. "We will be looking at manufacturing and testing applications for interviews next week," she said. The retail application window can open in Feb. 2020 if the ordinance passes on second reading. During public comments, Juan Garcia said storefronts are not the future and cited the State of Colorado, where half of the dispensaries are mobile. "One thing I haven't heard about is the black market," he said. "There is an article in the LA Times that says there are 873 legal dispensaries and there are 2,885 unlicensed dispensaries. There is a shortage of licenses." Many of the unlicensed dispensaries would want to go legal, he said, but places like Oxnard are only giving out 10 licenses. "Before Proposition 64 went into effect, over 100 mobile dispensaries were running in Ventura County," he said. "They were mainly in Oxnard." This story will continue on Dec. 13.

Oxnard-- On first reading, the Oxnard City Council approved its Short-Term Rental Ordinance during its Dec. 3 meeting. Its passage marks the end of a long process full of community meetings and city outreach about the issue where emotions ran high. The council examined the ordinance's first reading recently, and the city decided to bring it back again as a first reading. "Normally, it would come back as a second reading," Community Development Director Jeff Lambert said. "As the council finished their deliberations a few weeks ago, you asked a couple of questions on a couple of issues, and we had two options, deal with them later, or bring it back as a first reading and address those issues you raised." The council removed "The Colony" from the regulations at its last deliberation, he said, and it also asked Lambert to look at removing "Harbor Island" from the regulations. "We looked at their CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) and determined that they are eligible for similar treatment as The Colony," he said. "The ordinance before you tonight also removes Harbor Island from the regulations. The council also asked Lambert and his staff to look at timeshares, and the staff addressed timeshares as best as they could. "What we did was exempt them from some of the standards that would be troublesome for them in the City of Oxnard," he said. "We exempted them from having a 200foot buffer between units because it is impractical. We also exempted

them from the limited number of days, as we would with other STRs." Looking forward, Lambert said the city might require timeshares to hold a couple of STR permits that will rotate as needed. The city also proposed two other regulation changes because of issues raised by timeshare owners that involve corporate ownership. "The regulations you had before you before tonight prohibited corporate owners from owning STRs," he said. "We realize that's the nature of timeshares, so one of the changes before you tonight allows corporate owners of timeshares that are using them as STRs. "The

second is we didn't allow multiple STRs owned by one owner, but that's the case in timeshares. we have a second modification to the regulations tonight that allows a timeshare owner to own multiple STRs." During public comments, Victoria Chandler was thrilled by the changes. "We're in favor of the proposed ordinance, and we appreciate the vote on this," she said. "Diedre Frank told the council that the Short Term Rental Ordinance had been a personal journey. "I can't tell you how much I

The second is we didn't allow multiple STRs owned by one owner, but that's the case in timeshares. we have a second modification to the regulations tonight that allows a timeshare owner to own multiple STRs compliance on the weekends. We have no code compliance on the weekends." Following public comments, Lambert said the city is in the process of selecting a monitoring company. "There are several that do this work around the region," he said. "We have a Request for Proposals out, and it's due by Friday. We intend to select a firm that would monitor the STR owners, the regulations, and including paying TOT, Transient Occupancy Tax," The motion carried unanimously.

Council awards crucial chemical contracts By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard--The Oxnard City council awarded crucial chemical contracts to JCI Jones Chemicals, Inc. ($398,686.02) Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. ($1,449,834.75), Olin Corporation ($794,890.77) and Univar USA, Inc. ($431,734.88) during the Nov. 19 meeting. The agreement allows the Purchasing Manager to approve annual unit cost adjustments, not to exceed the limit of all purchase orders combined. Assistant Public Works Director Tien Ng presented the item to the council and said the water, wastewater, and recycle water facilities rely on chemicals to enhance their treatment. He singled out ferric chloride and said the city uses it for multiple purposes. "It enhances the primary treatment, which ist the treatment of inorganics," he said. "It also has a dual function to bind the hydrogen sulfides. It's an agent to reduce the hydrogen sulfide." There are a lot of chemicals for the recycled water, he said, and some of them are used to control the water PH and membrane treatment "The majority of them are used for cleaning," he said. The operative word used for crucial chemicals is the daily application, and volume used coupled with the chemicals is critical. "We can't store them for a long time," Ng said. "It's like milk in the refrigerator. A lot of those chemicals, the staff, orders them weekly." For those chemicals, because of the overwhelming response from the manufacturers, Ng said it took the city a long time to go through the process and ask for the chemical data. "In the end, we approached the city manager and said we ran out of time," he said. "The existing agreement is about to expire, and we need to take care of the crucial chemicals." The projected amount fo the crucial chemicals over the next three years is slightly over $3 million. "We do have the appropriate funding for this year," he said. The motion passed unanimously.

Oxnard bans flavored tobacco products By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Oxnard City Council passed on first reading by title only an ordinance that amends tobacco retailer permits and bans selling flavored tobacco products. The ordinance does not ban vaping or e-cigarettes but does ban flavored tobacco products. The current federal and state laws do not address electronic delivery systems. The ordinance takes effect 30 days after its adoption and enforcement will start after 90 days, so retailers get the message and can become compliant. Assistant Police Chief Eric Sonstegard led off the item, and he said as a father of three and a husband of a public-school teacher, he is acutely familiar with vaping, and the impact of flavored tobacco products on children. He introduced Senior Officer Hanna Estrada, who manages the

Oxnard Police Department's DOJ (Department of Justice) tobacco grant, Gabe Tehran from the Ventura County Office of Education, Assistant City Attorney Jason Zaragoza and Vickie Gonzales from Ventura County Public Health. Tehran gave some background, and he said an E-Cigarette is any battery-powered device that heats a metal coil and turns a liquid into an aerosol. "They may look different and have different names, but they all operate under the same mechanics," he said. "The state did redefine tobacco products to include all vaping or e-products. When we talk about tobacco products, those are all lumped in at the state level." The product had a different look when manufacturers introduced them approximately 10 years ago, as they looked like a traditional cigarette. As they evolved, they became more colorful and brighter as they redesigned them to make them more appealing and less like cigarettes.

The next generation of e-cigarettes have pods and cartridge systems, he said, and the device has a rechargeable battery, and the liquid gets replaced. The most popular device is called "JUUL," and the latest designs are sleek and modern. The JUUL fits in the size of someone's hand, and some will mistake the item as a USB Flash Drive. "Because of their size, they can be discreet and easily hidden," Tehran said. "There are many tutorials with more ways to be discreet, as well." One misconception is the product someone inhales is not water vapor, but it's aerosol. "When a liquid changes its state from liquid to aerosol, there is a suspension of oil or any liquid that was used in it," he said. "If someone sprayed air freshener on their hands, they would feel the oils. If someone exhaled from their vaping device, they would feel the oil on their hand, as well." He showed the crowd a survey that revealed that one percent of seventh-

graders have tried a cigarette, while 10 percent have tried an e-product. That number climbs as the child gets older. "One JUUL pod is the equivalent of 41 cigarettes," he said. The city surveyed 170 locations with minors posing as decoys, and police uncovered 27 tobacco-related violations. In a study by the journal of the American Medical Association, teens who vape are more likely to use tobacco products like cigarettes. The psychology behind marketing these products include using sweet flavors, bright colors, and cool (Photo by Chris Frost) sounding names that are easy to Assistant Police Chief Eric Sonstegard. remember.

OPED A post-Thanksgiving wishbone By Rev. James L. Snyder Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can sit back and recoup from the activity. I'm not sure about anybody else, but a holiday such as Thanksgiving takes a lot out of me. Of course, it puts a lot in me, but that's another story. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and Yours Truly were catching our breath right after our Thanksgiving fiesta. I was enjoying the quiet moment when my wife said to me, "Do you know what time it is?" I glanced at my wrist watch and said, "It's 8:30 right on the dot." My wife threw one of those looks at me, I was tempted not to catch and said, "That's not what I mean, and you know it." This is the problem I have. My wife assumes I know exactly what she's talking about every time she speaks. To be quite honest, it is a rare day when Yours Truly knows exactly what the wife is talking about whenever she speaks. This might be the reason I get into a little bit of trouble with her every now and then. She then continued. "What I mean is, do you know what time it is now?" I was tempted to say, "It's 8:32," but I learned my lesson, so I casually asked, "No, what time is it?" She sighed very deeply and said, "It's time to get the Christmas decorations down out of the attic and decorate our house for Christmas." Upon hearing those words, I immediately froze in my chair. I was hoping this year there would be an appreciative pause between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I must say I'm quite a fan of both holidays and all they represent. However, I certainly would like to get over one before I get into the other. "You'll have to go up to the attic and bring down all of our Christmas decoration boxes." I do not relish this job. I go into the attic twice a year; once to bring the Christmas decorations down, and once to take them back when Christmas is over. If anybody were to seek my opinion about this whole matter, I would immediately opine that twice a year is two times too many for me. I don't like the attic. It is dark and spooky up there. I'm not quite sure who or what inhabits the attic, but I hear some awfully strange

noises coming from there regularly, especially in the middle of the night. I'm not suggesting a ghost may be living in our attic, but it hasn't been proven otherwise. I do not believe in ghosts, but a person cannot be too careful these days. If I could have a wish for this time of the year, I think it would be that the next holiday should not begin before the last holiday has sufficiently worn off. I'm not sure if it is my age or what, but these holidays are coming fast and furious. No sooner do you get into the spirit of one holiday when the next holiday is knocking at your door. I do not think this is too unreasonable a wish. After all, there is a period of three weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, which I think should be used rather wisely. Even around our Thanksgiving

Day table, everybody was chattering about what they were looking forward to for Christmas. Everybody seemed to be playing old St. Nick and checking his or her Christmas list twice. I remember as a child we would set up the Christmas tree and all of the decorations on Christmas Eve. Then, New Year's Day it would all be packed away for another year. That gave us approximately one week to enjoy the Christmas decorations. I'm almost at the point of saying, Happy Holiday, for the simple reason I'm not quite sure which holiday we are celebrating. Is it Thanksgiving? Or, maybe it's Christmas? Or, then again, it may be New Year's Day. Whoever designed these holidays so closely together needs to rethink the strategy here. Another wish I might have.

Holidays should not be an excuse to go shopping. Somebody should pass some kind of congressional bill stating that on holidays people should stay at home. Holidays should be a family affair. It should not be a contest to see who can spend the most money on one day. I know I stand alone on this issue, but I don’t mind. It’s my opinion and I’ll keep it to myself, thank you. The day after Thanksgiving, I heard somebody on the radio singing, "We wish you a Merry Christmas." I don't mind being wished a Merry Christmas, but I sure do wish they would wait until Christmas to wish me such pleasantries. Even Jesus recognized the importance of resting. "And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going,

and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” (Mark 6:31). Then I heard a certain store in our community was not permitting any of their employees to say to any customer, "Merry Christmas." To which I, seeing the challenge before me, promptly went to that store, not to buy anything, but to wish everybody I saw "Merry Christmas." After all, under such circumstances, you can’t start too soon to wish people Merry Christmas. Dr. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, PO Box 831313, Ocala, FL 34483.

NEWS Was spying on the Trump campaign in 2016 adequately predicated? That’s for Attorney General Barr to decide By Robert Romano On Dec. 9, the long-awaited report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will be released, shortly before Congress is expected to vote to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) alongside the annual omnibus appropriations bill. The Horowitz report is supposed to address allegations that intelligence agencies and the Justice Department acted inappropriately or illegally in obtaining top secret surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016 on what turned out were false allegations by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee that President Donald Trump and officials on his campaign were bought and paid for Russian agents. Initial reports suggested that the Horowitz report would include criminal referrals, including a Nov. 21 CNN report: “An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser, several people briefed on the matter told CNN… The finding is expected to be part of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s review of the FBI’s effort to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide.” But now a Dec. 2 New York Times report states the Horowitz report is going to say the FBI had a sufficient basis for its investigation of the Trump campaign. According to the Times, the report will contain “a conclusion by the department’s inspector general that the F.B.I. had sufficient information to open the investigation into whether any Trump associates conspired with Russia during the 2016 presidential race.” Now, both things can be true. That is, that there were some crimes committed by agents pursuing the false claims against Trump and his campaign that are now being pursued in criminal court. And that the inspector general is concluding that those crimes would not have altered the FISA court’s decision to approve the surveillance, or the FBI’s decision to initiate the investigation. A key question is whether Horowitz looked at any material before July 31, the official start date of the investigation? Or if Horowitz was even able to uncover how the fraud against Trump was perpetrated and by whom. Were agents aware that the allegations they were pursuing were concocted? On April 10, Attorney General William Barr testified before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Science and Justice, acknowledging that the surveillance had occurred: “I think spying did occur… but the question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated?” Barr explained, “I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal, it’s a big deal. The generation I grew up in, which was the Vietnam War period, people were all concerned about spying on anti-war people and so forth by the government. And there were a lot of rules put in place to make sure that there’s an adequate basis before our law enforcement agencies get involved in political surveillance.” “I’m not suggesting those rules were violated but I think it’s important to look at that.” Later in his testimony, he couched his description of the spying he would be reviewing, saying, “I want to make sure there was no unauthorized surveillance.” And that’s a real key term there and a key question: When did the surveillance really begin? In Oct. 2016 with the FISA warrant? In July,

when agents began following the trail of bread crumbs left by Trump’s political opponents? Or earlier? As far as whether it was fully authorized, as far as can be seen, it was most certainly authorized by the FISA court beginning in Oct. 2016. Was it adequately predicated? I don’t think there’s any question here. Special Counsel Robert Mueller already told us: “[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” and “the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference.” That included all members of campaign. Per Mueller, “the Office did not find evidence likely to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Campaign officials such as Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Carter Page acted as agents of the Russian government — or at its direction, control or request — during the relevant time period.” As for former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, per Mueller, “Cohen had never traveled to Prague…” which discredited a key allegation from the Steele dossier. All of which raised the question: If in the end there was not enough evidence to bring a prosecution on a conspiracy with Russia, the key allegation against Trump — based on probable cause — why was there enough evidence to conduct surveillance for months on end, which supposedly falls under the same standard? The answer seems to lay in the so-called dossier by Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele, paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, which formed the basis for the FISA warrant. This was the same dossier that FBI Director James Comey had testified in Jan. 2017 as being “salacious and unverified.” And yet, it was used in the FISA application, even though it was known at the time to be political opposition research by a “U.S. based law firm [that] had hired the identified U.S. person to conduct research regarding Candidate #1’s ties to Russia,” referring to the DNC law firm Perkins Coie who hired Fusion GPS who contacted Steele to gather information on Donald Trump. The FBI knew it was political: “The FBI speculates that the identified U.S. person was likely looking for information that could

be used to discredit Candidate #1’s campaign.” That is the most damning statement in the Oct. 2016 FISA application. The FBI admitting it knew it was political gossip all along, and they went ahead and spied on a presidential campaign just weeks before the election anyway. All based on Steele, who alleged his source had said “there was a well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia, and that starting in July 2016, “This was managed on the TRUMP side by the Republican candidate’s campaign manager, Paul MANAFORT, who was using foreign policy advisor, Carter PAGE, and others as intermediaries. The two sides had a mutual interest in defeating Democratic presidential candidate Hillary CLINTON, whom President PUTIN apparently both hated and feared… Inter alia, Source E, acknowledged that the Russian regime had been behind the recent leak of embarrassing e-mail messages, emanating from the Democratic National Committee (DNC), to the WikiLeaks platform. The reason for using WikiLeaks was ‘plausible deniability’ and the operation had been conducted with the full knowledge and support of TRUMP and senior members of his campaign team.” In court testimony, Steele said “all material contained this risk” of being disinformation. Further, Steele didn’t go to Russia himself, and was said to have relied on a network to relay information, stating that the allegations needed to be “further corroborated and verified.” Steele said his sources were Russian, but they were not named: Source A was a “former top Russian intelligence officer”; Source B was a “senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure”; Source C was a “senior Russian financial official”; Source D was a “close associate of Trump” (golden showers source); Source E was an “ethnic Russian close associate” of Trump (golden showers source); Source F was a “female staffer of the hotel”; and source G was a “senior Kremlin official”. But Steele’s sub-sources must have been several layers removed, as we learn later that Steele never went to Russia himself. According to testimony by Fusion GPS’ Glenn Simpson before the Senate Intelligence Committee in Nov. 2017, Steele hired “a network of sources who live in or came from the place that you’re interested in… who can travel and talk to people and find out what’s going on” to get the dirt. But we don’t know who, since, per Simpson, “I didn’t ask for the specific

identities of specific people.” On why didn’t Steele go to Russia himself, Simpson said “[H]e really would not be safe if he went to Russia. He’s been exposed as a former undercover British Intelligence officer who worked in Moscow. So it wouldn’t be wise for him to go to Russia.” From the FISA warrant application again in Oct. 2016, Steele, that is, “Source #1 tasked his sub-source(s) to collect the requisite information. After Source #1 received information from the sub-source(s), described herein, Source #1 provided the information to the identified U.S. person who had hired Source #1 and to the FBI.” A March 2017 Vanity Fair piece about Steele by Howard Blum similarly stated, “[Steele] could count on an army of sources whose loyalty and information he had bought and paid for over the years. There was no safe way he could return to Russia to do the actual digging; the vengeful F.S.B. would be watching him closely. But no doubt he had a working relationship with knowledgeable contacts in London and elsewhere in the West, from angry émigrés to wheeling-and-dealing oligarchs always eager to curry favor with a man with ties to the Secret Service, to political dissidents with wellhoned axes to grind. And, perhaps most promising of all, he had access to the networks of well-placed Joes — to use the jargon of his former profession — he’d directed from his desk at London Station, assets who had their eyes and ears on the ground in Russia.” So, Steele had sources, some of whom would have supposedly spoken to the sources in question but it was hearsay at best. It does not appear Steele spoke to senior Kremlin officials directly, which stand out as key figures in the dossier. And this was reflected in the FISA warrant application by the Justice Department. And they ran with it anyway; hearsay, in the most top secret court in the land. The New York Times’ Scott Shane, Adam Goldman and Matthew Rosenberg reported on April 20 that in Jan. 2017 the FBI interviewed one of the main sources for the dossier and came away with “misgivings about its reliability [that] arose not long after the document became public” in Jan. 2017. Per the Times report: “By January 2017, F.B.I. agents had tracked down and interviewed one of Mr. Steele’s main sources, a Russian speaker from a former Soviet republic who had spent time in the West, according

to a Justice Department document and three people familiar with the events, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. After questioning him about where he’d gotten his information, they suspected he might have added his own interpretations to reports passed on by his sources, one of the people said. For the F.B.I., that made it harder to decide what to trust.” The FBI appeared to discount the possibility of the dossier being Russian disinformation, per the Times report: “F.B.I. agents considered whether Russia had polluted the stream of intelligence, but did not give it much credence, according to the former official.” So, there were tons of red flags that could have and should have been raised about the Steele dossier and the allegations against Trump, all of which would have been cause to end the investigation that went nowhere. And yet, perhaps the worst possible outcome here would be a self-serving conclusion from the inspector general is that FISA was not violated, even though the allegations into Trump were made up by his political opponents. That would mean that it is the law itself that is broken if it allows hearsay as evidence of treason. If that’s the case, then FISA must not be reauthorized. On the other hand, we know that in October that the investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham has been expanded into a criminal probe. So, there’s a contradiction, and perhaps a disagreement within the Justice Department over the conduct by the Obama administration in its last few months, when it obtained court-ordered spying on the Trump campaign, the opposition party, in an election year. It is up to Attorney General Barr to answer these questions. Public confidence in the Justice Department hangs by a thread. If nobody goes to jail for putting the country through this nightmare, this national fraud, it will happen again. That is why, here, the inspector general’s opinion is interesting, but appears preliminary and not the final word on this matter, which lays with Barr. But the Attorney General needs to help out Congress here. If this spying based on false hearsay allegations was not prohibited by FISA, then Congress needs his recommendations, because it needs to be, or else FISA shouldn’t be reauthorized.

the rest is that it has no propylene glycol, which is the main ingredient in antifreeze. "Our product has no chemicals, parabens, and definitely no antifreeze," he said. "Even though it's approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it's still a harsh chemical." As a family man with kids, he is always worried about products with harmful ingredients. "There are so many products on the market that can hurt your body," he said. "It's vegan, and you can eat it. That's why we're at the Farmer's Market. It's a local company; we have a five-star rating on Facebook, and we love our product.

TK said Super Cream is a wonderful Christmas present. "A lot of our customers at the Channel Islands Farmers Market have a lot of sand damage because they live near the ocean. Super Cream can help with that. It's great for any skin condition, pain, and inflammation." For more information, visit SuperCreamUSA.com, or on Facebook and Instagram. Katie Adams from Lemon and Lei Natural Bath and Body Treats had the most aromatic booth, which drew people over because of the fragrances. "I'm so used to smelling it; I can't smell any of my stuff anymore unless I get right up to

it," she said. "I always wonder what people smell when they walk by." Adams makes all the products, although she said her dad makes the beeswax candles. "I got started about five years ago after I had my daughter," she said. "I wanted to get rid of all our skincare products that had toxic chemicals and awful ingredients in them. I started making my own, and I fell in love with it and decided to make a business." The first scent she made was lemon to help her daughter sleep. "My first product was a lemon body butter," she said. "I

chose it because I love lemony scented oil." One of the more unique scents at her booth was called "Monkey Farts," but she couldn't take credit for the name. "It's the name of the fragrance, but I saw it, and I had to have it," Katie said. "It smells like bananas, so monkeys eat bananas. In my daughter's world of animals, she thinks the monkey farts will smell like that." She loves meeting all the people at the Farmers Market. "I do different street fairs in town, and I get to meet a lot of people from all over," she said. "We have a lot of tourists who talk about their lives back home. It's fun." She just opened a store at Ventura Harbor.

"I will be ringing in the new year with my new store," she said. "I am excited." Roger Reidy from "Roger's Living Art" had succulents mounted in a vertical frame made of redwood and lodgepole cedar. "I construct the frame and put the thing together and add the succulents," he said. "These are great presents for Christmas. They live, the palate of colors are my plants, and I look at these as my paintings." He got the idea from a magazine he saw 30 years ago, which goes along well with the horticulture he studied in college. "I was a facility manager at a high school for over 30 years, so I was in charge of the grounds," he said. "This is a hobby business that I enjoy

doing. When I retired two years ago, my daughter said, why don't you start selling some of your planters." Succulents are easy to take care of, he said, and require little water or effort. "You need to water them once a week," Reidy said. "You fertilize them every third month. They're easy to take care of." People who have a purple thumb and a lousy track record for plant care don't have to worry. "The secret is not to overwater them," he said. "They like it a little on the drier side." The creations don't need direct sunlight. "The more sun they get, the faster they'll grow," he said. "They'll grow in a shaded area, but they'll grow a little slower."

come into their care. "We have several donated cars, and we go through a threeyear process to restore the cars to their full capacity, and then we sell them, and that money goes back into the museum," he said. "Between David and I, we put a lot of time and energy into the museum. We're trying to achieve a well-run company, and so far, so good." The rarest item he has at the museum is not a car or truck, but a 1927 Holt Vintage Trailer. "I was built right before the stock market crash in the 1920s," he said. "They never used it. It is a brand new trailer, and it looks like a caboose at the end of a train. It looks like something built for a movie, but it's real and covered in leather." The trailer ended up in a collection up north that he and David acquired seven months ago. "We're the only museum in the world that has the world's first vintage trailer," Fireball said. As a child, Fireball's parents would buy him die cast toys, like Hot Wheels, Corgis, or Matchbox, and they also bought him art supplies. "When I was in school, I would take a box of index cards with me, and I would draw crazy cars," he said. "Ultimately, my profession became a Hollywood car designer. I designed cars for movies like Batman, The Avengers, and Austin Powers. I designed the first Batmobile

for the Michael Keaton film." Kurt and his dog Willie stopped by to check out the museum. "I have a 1974 and 1975 Chevy C10," he said. "I saw a white car in the back that looks like something that Captain Nemo had. The 1964 corvette out front is nice. My brother used to have a car just like it. I like to see people take care of cars and restore them." Ken Vela from Wickd Kustoms restores the cars at the Murph. "The most challenging part about restoring a car is saving as much of the original car as possible, including paint," he said. "A lot of the parts out there are reproduced and not even close to what's original. Saving the originality of the car is the most challenging, but it’s also the most rewarding part that I enjoy." Currently, he's working on a 1971 Porsche 914, and it's 95 percent original. "There are some pieces that had to be replaced that could be restored," he said. "Every car, I learn everything about it, then I will dissect it and make sure the colors are correct on it before I paint it. We get so many vehicles that are repainted. They'll come out nice, but the shade color is wrong." Reproducing a part works, he said, but it costs a whole lot of money. "It makes no sense at all," he said. "If you have an unlimited budget, of course, it makes sense." Ken Dively is the lead docent at the museum, and he schedules all the other docents. "I do the group tours during the weekdays," he said. "They get a personal guided tour on the weekdays. On the weekend, it's a self-guided tour." In his travels, people ask lots of questions. One favorite question he gets is why do some of the older vehicles have right-hand drives, instead of left-hand drives. "My favorite car is a Willy's Night," he said. "My father drove a Willy's Whippet when he was 18. It’s a family connection for me." The Murphy Auto Museum is located at 1930 Eastman Avenue.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 084741-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

If you 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.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law

requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 619-846-7649 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-15-673893-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2019

HEALTH Healthy tips for body and mind during the holidays SACRAMENTO—With the holiday season approaching, the California Department of Public Health is reminding people that you can stay physically and mentally healthy by taking simple steps before, during and after the holiday meal. Bacteria can be found in foods such as meat and poultry and may cause illness if it isn’t cooked long enough, or if it’s inadequately cooled or improperly handled. It is important to carefully wash fresh produce and to not let uncooked food come in contact with raw meat or poultry and its juices. “We can help ensure that foodborne illnesses don’t ruin our holidays by properly preparing and handling all of the ingredients, whether it is meat, poultry, fruit or vegetables,” said Dr. Sonia Angell, State Public Health Officer and Public Health Department Director. Most foodborne illnesses can be prevented by: • Washing hands with soap and warm water before and after food preparation, especially after handling raw foods. • Cleaning all work surfaces, utensils and dishes with hot soapy water and rinsing them with hot water after each use. • Cooking food thoroughly and refrigerating leftovers promptly after meals. • Preventing cross-contamination (from raw foods to foods that are ready to eat). • Keeping hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Symptoms of foodborne illness

can include diarrhea, which may be bloody, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and fever. Most infected people recover from foodborne illnesses within a week. However, some people may develop complications requiring hospitalization. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are at the highest risk for potentially lifethreatening complications. People

with severe symptoms should see their doctor. Make healthy choices this holiday season: • Be physically activity, even if it is a quick walk. Even five minutes of physical activity has real health benefits. • Treat the family with fun physical activity. When it is time to celebrate as a family, do something active as a

reward. Plan a trip to the zoo, park or lake. • Make healthy food choices. Watch portion sizes, fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables. Focus on whole fruits, a variety of vegetables and whole grains. • Serve water at meals and avoid sugary drinks. • If you choose to consume alcohol, limit your intake.

• Enjoy some “me” time and take a break from family and friends, if needed, to avoid feeling stressed. “Even as the holidays can be a time of joy, they can also be stressful. Remember to take time for yourself and treat yourself well. Get enough sleep, stay physically active and aim for meals that are nutritionally balanced,” said Dr. Angell.

Study: For babies born with HIV, treatment starts right away By Lauran Neergaard

MRIs of dense breasts find more cancer but also false alarms By Marilynn Marchione Giving women with very dense breasts an MRI scan in addition to a mammogram led to fewer missed cancers but also to a lot of false alarms and treatments that might not have been needed, a large study found. The results give a clearer picture of the tradeoffs involved in such testing, but they can't answer the biggest question—whether it saves lives. For women with dense breasts trying to decide on screening, “the dilemma remains,” Dr. Dan Longo of the New England Journal of Medicine wrote in an editorial published with the study on Wednesday. About half of women over 40 have dense breasts and about 10% have very dense ones. That raises their risk of developing cancer and makes

it harder to spot on mammograms if they do. U.S. regulators are making rules to require that women get breast density information when they have mammograms, and many places provide it now. But what to do if you have dense breasts is unclear— it's not known if more or different types of screening such as MRIs or ultrasounds help. The study involved more than 40,000 Dutch women ages 50 to 75 with very dense breasts who had normal results from a mammogram, a screening X-ray offered every two years in the Netherlands. About 8,000 of them also were offered an MRI scan, which uses powerful magnets to create detailed images, and 4,783 women agreed. Researchers then tracked how many breast cancers were detected in each group within two years. Finding more of these “interval cancers”

implies that the initial screening may have missed them. The rate of these cancers after two

MRIs also led to more side effects during the scan or later testing, such as fainting or problems from an IV. And they cost much more than mammograms. years was twice as high in the group that was only offered mammograms. This suggests that adding MRIs to initial screening did catch more cancers, but they also gave a lot of

false alarms_ about 80 per 1,000 scans. Three quarters of women who had a biopsy after a questionable MRI turned out not to have cancer. MRIs also led to more side effects during the scan or later testing, such as fainting or problems from an IV. And they cost much more than mammograms. The study only looked at the first two years of screening with MRIs and it's too soon to say whether the test will save lives. Without such evidence, it's tough to say what value there is in finding more cancers, especially many very small, early stage ones, Longo wrote. Doctors already know that some of these will never cause symptoms or become life-threatening. “Our dilemma is that, for most tumors, we cannot tell the difference between cancers that can kill you and those that cannot,” he wrote.

WASHINGTON (AP)— When pregnant women have HIV, proper treatment is critical to prevent the virus from spreading to their babies. But when newborns are infected, a new study from Botswana suggests starting their own treatment right away— within hours to a few days—is better than waiting even the few weeks to months that's the norm in many countries. The Harvard-led research team tracked a small number of youngsters for two years. Children treated the earliest had a much smaller “reservoir” of HIV hiding in their bodies. That reservoir is the reason HIV rebounds when people stop taking their medications. The earliest-treated youngsters also had a better functioning immune system. The findings were published Wednesday in Science Translational Medicine.

Gabrielle Union speaks out amid reports she's off NBC show LOS ANGELES (AP)— Gabrielle Union thanked supporters for defending her amid reports she was fired from “America's Got Talent” after complaining about racism and other alleged onset issues.

“

JUST when you feel lost, adrift, alone... you got me up off the ground. Humbled and thankful, forever,” the actress tweeted Wednesday night. She didn't directly address her status with NBC's talent show, and her representatives did not respond to requests for comment Friday or previously. According to reports, Union and

You should not be penalized for trying to have a workplace that honors the rule of law in the workplace. Patricia Arquette Julianne Hough have been dropped as “America's Got Talent” judges after a single season. Union, who is African American, reportedly sought network action to address a workplace environment that allegedly allowed racist jokes and comments and other troubling behavior, including judge-producer Simon Cowell's smoking indoors

In a statement, NBC and series producer Fremantle defended what they called the show's “long history of inclusivity and diversity.” “The judging and host line-up

has been regularly refreshed over the years and that is one of the reasons for AGT's enduring popularity. NBC and the producers take any issues on set seriously,” the companies said. The judging panel has changed since the show's 2006 debut, but most judges' tenures have lasted at least several years, including that of Sharon Osbourne, Mel B and

‘Queen & Slim' is romantic, urgent and beautiful By Mark Kennedy

to explain they acted in selfdefense: They're both young and Black and a white cop is dying. They have to go. Now. The script has Queen and Slim travel from Ohio through Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, encountering different people along the way. The film starts in snowy darkness and ends in warm sunshine. The characters shed their old identities—clothes and hair as well—for new ones, growing more human and empathetic each mile that rolls past. Daniel Kaluuya of “Get Out” fame takes Slim from a sadsack who obeys the rules to a man deeply in love and ready to fight for it. Jodie Turner-Smith, in her first feature film lead, makes an astonishing debut, stiff and understated when we meet her and evolving into a vulnerable warrior in a leopard minidress. Both are haunted, anxious and guilty. They end the film undaunted.

Intriguingly, the couple travel without access to Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. Queen has advised the pair to toss their phones in case authorities are tracking them, leaving them in a social media blackout. (The couple who met on Tinder are now cut off from the world.) We know they are being pursued from screaming newspaper headlines and TV snippets of viral video but Queen and Slim are really left in their own bubble—usually the confines of a car—with the radio playing. What makes “Queen & Slim” more than just a road movie is the subtle and yet devastating way in which these would-be lovers are seen by those they come across. A Black man in a parking lot holds up the Black Power fist while a white woman in genteel Savannah, Georgia, wants to turn them over to the cops. A white gas station clerk hopes to hold Slim's Glock, while a young Black boy is so moved by their actions that he provokes a fight with police.

Rarely has a Tinder date ended so poorly than the one shown in “Queen & Slim.” Even more rarely has a bad Tinder date produced such a great film. The remarkable “Queen & Slim” is a romance and a road movie, a film about outlaws on the run, two journeys of selfdiscovery and a nuanced social commentary. It's not perfect but it's close—an urgent, beautiful and socially conscious trip through the American racial psyche in 2019. “Queen & Slim” is the feature-film directorial debut from Melina Matsoukas, who has directed episodes of HBO's “Insecure” and helmed Beyonce's Grammy-winning video “Formation.” The script is from Emmy-winner Lena Waithe (Netflix's “Master of None”) with, bizarrely, an assist from disgraced “A Million Little Pieces” author James Frey, and a nod to “Thelma & Louise.” The film starts in a Cleveland diner with a mismatched pair who have connected online. She's a stiff lawyer in a turtleneck; he's a peaceful retail worker in Carhartt. She picked him because his profile picture looked sad. (“I felt sorry for you,” she says.) This date is going nowhere. Driving her home—we don't learn their real names until the very end—Slim is pulled over for failing to execute a turn signal. The white police officer's aggressive style cycles out of control and ends with the cop shot, Queen injured and three lives forever altered. The couple can't wait around
