is a rich and fullbodied treat

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— One of the most pleasant surprises tucked away at Heritage Square is a new decadent treat, Heritage Coffee, that has been a real success story on 7th Street.

The business has a homey feel, and people enjoy many different styles of coffee, along with delicious treats while they read, visit or surf the web on their free Wi-Fi hotspot at the location.

When you walk in co-owner Theresa Enriquez greets you and makes you feel welcome and said the building inspired her to operate at Heritage Square.

As she was scouting locations, it seemed to her that it would be a nice place to sit, drink coffee, eat sweets and relax. It was the Cressman House design with an Asian twist that she liked the most because she lives in a Cressman style house.

“I like the windows and the way they face the street,” she said. “This is our building, and it has an upstairs where I have my office. The architecture of this one is a little different. It looks like the gable (roof) has a little curve to it, and that is intriguing.”

Enriquez said her neighbors were excited about the business opening because it attracts more people to Heritage Square.

“It’s a small place, so everybody knows n Coffee, see page 3

Gingerbread Fest is a magnificent site

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard- Christmas ran into extra innings at Heritage Square in Oxnard, as the Annual Gingerbread Fest meant meticulously crafted gingerbread houses that people enjoyed, filling them with the holiday spirit.

Local community members and groups worked hard on their creations and competed for the festival’s top honor. The competition took place Dec. 28-30 and included entries entitled “Scouting in an Arctic Wonderland,” the Millennium Falcon and "Home for Christmas" to name a few.

The fest also has a people’s choice award where attendees vote for their favorite gingerbread house and the winner receives gift cards.

Friends of Heritage Square Docent President Loretta Collet said the gingerbread house contest is celebrating its 10th year and is open

to anyone regardless of their age.

“We have youth, teens, adults, family, and businesses competing,” she said. "We don’t use glue, we use frosting on the gingerbread houses, so they are eatable, but at this point, they are a couple of weeks old, so I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

Collet got involved with Heritage Square because she loves architecture and history and Christmas has the smells, sights, and ambiance of gingerbread houses that she loves.

“I made one of these,” she said.

“They are fun, and the sky’s the limit with your imagination. I made the ‘Santa Paws’ gingerbread house, and it’s about pets. I used dog bones for decorations.”

The gingerbread house is dogfriendly and eatable, she said, and most dogs would devour the collection.

“I like how the gingerbread house festival attracts people to the square,” she said. “People come from Carson n Gingerbread, see page 3

Bingo continued from page 1

“We’re a private non-profit, so we give to other non-profits, and we have donated to a lot of people in the last 20 years,” he said. “We have a lot of staff, they’re all volunteers, and it’s enjoyable.”

Joanie Cavler brought her bingo bag that was full of “daubers” they use to mark their bingo cards.

She was working a six-card bingo strategy and also had the “Wacky Bingo” card, and she taped them together so that they wouldn’t be all over the place.

She is not a profession bingo player but wishes she was.

“I’m just like everybody else,” she said. “It would be nice to win a lot of money once.”

She loves the game and comes out to relax with her family especially her sister Linda, who has been playing bingo “a lot longer” than she has.

“I have been playing for a little over 25 years,” Cavler said. “It’s not like all of them who have been playing for 35, 40 and 50 years.”

Cavler loves going out and playing bingo.

“It’s excitement,” she said.

“We get to go somewhere for the weekend.”

She loves her orange, red and hot pink daubers.

“I got them at Sand Town in Las Vegas,” she said.

Cavler is a crossing guard for the City of Oxnard for the last 31 years but is not thrilled about being home for Christmas break.

“I prefer to be working,” she said.

“I am not a person who likes to sit home. You can only clean so much in the house. I love to work.”

She is attached to all her kids that cross at her corner.

“I get mad at the people who are driving and not paying attention to the kids and are looking at cell phones,” she said. “I take down their license plates, and they get a letter in the mail. I go back to work, Jan. 7, yea!”

Linda Williams has been playing bingo for 42 years, and she loves competing and getting to see people who she doesn’t see during the week.

“I enjoy it and have a wonderful time,” she said. “If I win, that’s a cherry on the cake. It’s fantastic.”

She said every serious player has a bingo bag and a lot of daubers.

“You’ve got to have a bingo bag,” she said. “I love my yellow dauber.

It gives me a good feeling. It glows.”

Williams said when it comes to bingo, the Heavenly Father, not luck or skill, is the secret to a successful evening, and that faith once brought her a $750 payoff.

“It’s a lot of fun, and the number that comes out, when you need it, you need it. And when you say you’re on, that means you only need one number to win the game, and if the third one comes up you’ve got it,” she said. “When you get bingo, everybody is nice. They’re a fantastic group of people.”

Helen DelDosso had an extensive collection of daubers and said her favorite color is green.

“It’s a night out tonight after the rush with the people, the traffic and the stores, oh my gosh,” she said. “We’ve been out at the beach house, so it’s been relaxing. Last week I won over $1,000. I won two pull tabs that were $500 apiece. I share it with my husband, Mike.”

She said her husband always wins and is lucky and didn’t get jealous about her win last week.

Helen got involved with bingo because her mom invited her when she was 24 years old. She didn't want to go, but won $250 that night and was hooked.

“That’s all it took,” she said.

“Now we just come for relaxation and converse with everybody and make it a night.”

Mike said the duo plays at the PACC and Santa Clara High School.

“I like the Santa Clara High School, better, but this one is good too,” he said. “You’re supporting the school (at Santa Clara), so it is a good cause.”

NEWS What is your New Year’s resolution?

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— As we roll into 2019, the Tri County Sentry took to the streets to find out what you, our readers, want to accomplish in the new year.

As the editor of the paper, I want to continue reporting on life in Ventura County and report on stories that celebrate life and at the same time be the watchdog that a good community newspaper should be.

JANIS FROST My wife Janis wants to read more, shop more, love more, value her friends and family more and make sure she keeps me in line and healthy.

MIKE STRATAS “I would like to teach my dog to pee outside,” he said. “I also want to work more this year. I worked less in 2018.”

KENNY BOWEN “I want to get my motorcycle done or get it out of here,” he said.

“I am definitely going do some camping this year in my new camper.”

PAM KELLY “My new year’s resolution is to get healthier, to make my life better, work harder and spend more time with my family.”

DEWEY KELLY He would like to spend more time with his family and getting his picture taken.

CARY MCCRYSTAL “I would like to be a better person, I would like to retire this year and have more fun.”

each other,” she said. “We’re just across the way from the hairdresser.”

The most popular item on the menu is a latte, she said, but the Mexican Hot chocolate, which is made with darker chocolate, is also popular because it has cinnamon and almonds.

“It has quite a different flavor, and I think it is a richer drink,” she said.

Her son, Carlos Larios said helping his mother get started at Heritage Coffee is a lot of work, but it has been rewarding.

“I graduated from the University of New Mexico, and the number one reason why I came back is my girlfriend,” he said. “We’ve been together since high school.”

He is becoming a coffee connoisseur and loves Ethiopian coffee and practicing his latte art.

“Ethiopian coffee is fruity,” he said.

“People think that espresso has more caffeine than a normal cup of coffee, but it’s in a smaller volume. A Latte has a double shot of espresso.”

He wants to keep growing in 2019.

“We want to be a good place to come,” he said. His big present this year was a French press for coffee.

“I got my girlfriend a diamond necklace," he said.

Enriquez appreciates having her son on the team.

“He got a degree in business and wanted to come to help out his mom and dad,” she said. “My husband and I live here, and this is our community.”

She enjoyed her holiday and had lots of family on hand.

“It was quite busy because we worked on Christmas Eve and then we went home and started Christmas eve dinner,” she said.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 2019

OPED Items not on my New Year's resolution list Dr. James L. Snyder It is typical this time of year to prepare a list of resolutions for the coming year. I believe this goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden when Adam said to Eve, "I think I'll turn over a new leaf this year." And so the tradition has come down to us today.

Normally, people will make a list of all the things they will give up during the ensuing year. All kinds of bad habits find their way on the list like smoking, drinking and other nefarious activities. Of course, nobody actually plans to keep his New Year resolutions but the act of writing them down on a piece of paper seems to give a sense of accomplishment to people.

One of the big things on the resolution list has to do with diet and losing weight during the coming year. I have often wondered why this seems to be number one on most of those New Year resolution list. Even Yours Truly has succumbed in years past to attend this resolution on his list.

This year I discovered why that is so high on people's list. It begins with Halloween and all of the candy that is consumed. Now, there is a purpose behind all of this. And it is only recently that I have put it all together. And to my loyal reading fans (both of you) I would share with you the wisdom of my muse.

The reason it starts with Halloween candy is that candy is sweet. This sweet serves to prime the pump, so to speak, for the eating frenzy that is about to begin.

Approximately 3 weeks following the Halloween candy blowout comes Thanksgiving.

When our forefathers did a Thanksgiving dinner, they had to chase the turkey down and kill it themselves. Following that, they had to pluck the feathers, clean the turkey, stuff it and get it ready for roasting.

All of this activity burned up all the calories from the Halloween candy frenzy.

Now, all we do is pop it into an oven and the most activity we have is bending our elbows to see how fast we can get the turkey from the plate into our mouth. Even though this activity is quite strenuous it actually burns no calories whatsoever in the process.

If it was just the turkey it would not be so bad, but nobody can eat turkey without all the culinary accoutrements. Roast turkey without a generous slice of pumpkin pie is the closest thing to blasphemy that I know.

No sooner has the Thanksgiving

dinner settled in our stomach, it is Christmas time, and all of the parties associated with Christmas. Nobody can refuse a Christmas party with all the delicacies that had been so meticulously prepared. When I go to a party, I think it rather rude not to indulge in the party snacks.

I like to join organizations right around the October keeping a sharp eye out for the annual Christmas party. Soon after the New Year, I dropped out of that organization.

Call me a slacker, if you wish, but in my book, the Christmas party is worth the subterfuge.

Then there is the marvelous family Christmas dinner. Need I say more?

So we come to New Year’s Eve. By this time, everybody has eaten so much that hardly anybody can take another bite. Not only that, but many people feel guilty for eating so much during the holiday season. Others, like me, are made to feel guilty for eating so much during the holiday season.

To deal with this sense of guilt many people make a New Year's resolution to go on a diet during the coming year.

Many years ago around this time

of the year, I made a drastic tactical error. It had been a particularly good holiday season with many parties and Christmas dinners. I was feeling rather expansive at the time and sighed deeply and said, "After all that eating I should go on a diet."

Quick as a wink the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage took that as a cue and responded, "I think that's an excellent idea. That will be your New Year's resolution for the coming year."

And thus it was.

I quickly learned that such resolutions come with a great deal of superfluous supervision. Every time I turned around my wife said, "How is your diet coming?" Of course, she knows exactly how it is coming because she is the one who was supervising this aspect of my life.

When going out to eat at a restaurant she was most helpful in supervising my ordering by observing, "You can't order that because it's not in your diet."

There are many things that will not show up on my New Year's resolution list and the number one item that will not be there is dieting. Gone from my vocabulary are such phrases as, "Boy, I've eaten too much tonight." Or, "After eating like this I should go on a diet."

I am not sure God is quite as concerned about my eating habits as other people are. I like what David writes in the 23rd Psalm.

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over" (Psalms 23:5).

When God sets the table, he expects me to feast, and I do not anticipate disappointing Him. The Rev. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, 1471 Pine Road, Ocala, FL 34472. He lives with the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage in Silver Springs Shores.

OPED Congress cares more about securing Syria than securing the southern border

By Robert Romano Congress apparently cares more about securing Syria than securing the U.S. southern border by building the wall.

That’s about all that can be taken away from some of the Congressional outcry against President Donald Trump who has announced the U.S. will be withdrawing troops from Syria — something Congress never authorized in the first place.

Trump in a tweet stated that U.S. objectives in Syria have been met: “We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.” In another tweet, Trump warned that if Islamic State returned, they’ll get hit: “I am building by far the most powerful military in the world. ISIS hits us they are doomed!”

President Trump says the objective of defeating Islamic State is achieved.

But now members of Congress, who never voted to put troops there in the first place, after three years of being there, are acting as if their permission is needed to leave. It was always an executive decision.

Live by executive action, die by executive action. Congress should have acted. Instead, they’re complaining.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) blasted the withdrawal, calling it “a grave error that will have incredible consequences, potentially not fully thought through.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said U.S. troop presence is vital to U.S. interests, stating, “After visiting Syria earlier this year, it is abundantly clear the approximately 2,000 American troops stationed there are vital to our national security interests.”

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) issued a statement declaring “the highfiving winners today are Iran, ISIS, and Hezbollah. The losers are Israel, humanitarian victims, and U.S. intelligence gathering. A lot of American allies will be slaughtered if this retreat is implemented.”

Now, all that might be true. But the fact is, the action in Syria should have been debated by Congress and authorized. The U.S. has had 2,000 troops in Syria without any

backing under Article I of the Constitution. In fact, U.S. troops have been operating in Syria since Nov. 2015, and airstrikes have been commencing since Sept. 2014 — without any authorization to use force by Congress. A four-year war Congress never cared about.

Yet, under the Constitution, it says, very clearly, under Article I, Section 8, that “The Congress shall have power… to declare war…”

Even under the constitutionally suspect War Powers Resolution, troops could have remained for 60 days, and then given 30 days to withdraw. That’s a 90-day window to have troops on the ground overseas without explicit authorization.

So, where’s the authority to leave troops there permanently? The 2001 and 2002 authorizations to use military force covered al Qaeda, Afghanistan and Iraq, not Islamic

State and Syria. And is that even a good idea?

If it’s important enough to ask American soldiers to risk their lives to defend Syria, then it’s important enough for Congress to have a debate on going to war, weighing the pros and the cons. Why should the military be asked to risk their lives if Congress won’t even take a political risk and debate the issue?

Isolating Islamic State and defeating them in Syria was a clear goal, and one the American people could get behind. Either way, President Trump says the objective has been met. But for whatever reason, Congress was never willing to exercise its Article I war-making powers to debate the matter as required under the Constitution.

The Senate certainly found enough time to do so in terms of passing a bill

that would, if it became law, order the administration to withdraw support from Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen in response to the Khashoggi murder.

The State Department just announced $10 billion of foreign aid for Central America for economic development.

The 2018 omnibus spending bill passed by Congress gave $500 million to Jordan to build a border wall.

So, surely, it can find enough time to go the floor and tell the American people why yet another authorization to use military force ought to be passed that will likely never be rescinded. The authorizations to go into Afghanistan and Iraq are almost 20 years old now.

The war on terror has become the endless war.

And in the meantime, Congress has completely dropped the ball

on securing our own borders by building the southern border wall — something that was promised in the 2016 election — while migrants, gangs and drugs continue to knock at the door.

When voters call members of Congress globalists, this is what they’re talking about. Members of Congress who prioritize foreign interests above U.S. interests. It should be America first. Secure the border, and then come back and debate where U.S. troops ought to be fighting. It’s such a disgrace that America is supposed to act as the world’s policemen, and secure countries overseas like Syria but we cannot even protect our own borders.

It’s completely upside down.

For me, many of the challenges revolved around the unhealthy atmosphere in Washington, D.C., and that's not likely to change. But many of the challenges, joys, and sorrows were also personal. One of them was the loss of Robby Gregg, Jr., a diversity expert and consultant at Cook Ross, a diversity and inclusion firm in the DC area that was founded by my dear friend Howard Ross.

Robby died unexpectedly at 58, just a week before Christmas.

Alarmed at not having heard from him, a friend went to his home and found him gone. Unless you are part of the D&I community (as diversity experts call themselves), connected to Wake Forest University (Robby was a 1983 graduate), or part of the vast Maya Angelou extended family (Robby was one of Dr. Maya's students at Wake, and an ardent supporter of the Maya Angelou school in Washington, D.C.), you probably wouldn't know Robby. He was a man worth knowing.

I'm writing about Robby because his memory has challenged me to make a 2019 resolution. I am going to endeavor to listen more, especially to people I disagree with.

I'm going to seek some of these people out for conversation, and I'm also planning to have tea or a meal (without knives – halfway joking) with a few of them. While I will never let go of my commitments to social and economic justice, to racial parity, and to reparations, knowing Robby made me realize that it is also important to open oneself up to thought-provoking conversations with those we disagree with.

Robby and I had been friends for a while, but he was no fan of my confrontational style, and he didn't mind telling me. He was offended by my Facebook page, which is a combination of policy analysis, organizing, and personal sharing.

Because I live in a gentrified neighborhood where, in my opinion, my melanin-deficient neighbors can be entitled and inconsiderate, with a sprinkling of racism thrown in, I vent on my page about the brads and the Beckys. And Robby didn't like it. He responded that if I didn't like my neighborhood, I should move from the home I've lived in for 20 years. Not. I became so angered by his suggestion that we began to avoid each other and cease interaction.

An unpleasant encounter at a social gathering (I was wrong to carry our disagreement into that

space) prompted me to reach out, and the result was a wonderful three-hour lunch where we offered each other the gift of listening. I think we both walked away feeling affirmed, if not in perfect agreement or alignment. We could agree that we loved and respected each other and shared common values, even if our ways of going about things was different.

Robby and I shared an appreciation for Howard Ross, the

founder of Cook Ross and author of Belonging: How Our Need to Connect is Tearing Us Apart (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2018).

It's a great read about the ways our human tendencies to belong work both for us and against us.

Part of the book recounts Howard's journey around the country talking and listening to people who voted for 45, some of whom regret their vote, and others who stand by it. He walked away with a more nuanced

understanding of 45 supporters, which he shares in the book, along with techniques for having civil, even friendly, and informative conversations.

When I interviewed Howard a few weeks ago, he threw out the suggestion of lunching with those with whom I have profound disagreements. I scoffed at it, considering it an utter waste of time in many cases. The day after our interview, Robby Gregg, Jr. was found dead, and I wondered if there was a message in his passing for me. After all, had we not had that delightful long lunch, my friend and I would not have had rapprochement.

So, in memory of and in tribute to Robby and, equally importantly, to do my part in exploring the possibility of more civility in our discourse, I'm challenging myself to do more listening. And I'll promise an opponent at least three minutes of uninterrupted time, as long as I'm not on the air. I'm challenging you to do the same. Not just in the name of Robby Gregg, but in the interest of community.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18831465-AB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

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.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

The following statements; NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS and NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER are statutory notices for all one to four single family residences and a courtesy notice for all other types of properties. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mort-

gage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.nationwideposting.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 300W-018231.

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.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by LARRY DOWNING in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

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

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 1/23/2019 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

This default can be resolved if at least one borrower takes possession of the property as his or her principal residence. In order to cure the default in this manner you must contact Quality, the current trustee, whose contact information is set forth herein. WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage to be immediately due and payable and sufficient payment has not been made as of the date of this notice; and WHEREAS, the total amount due as of 12/11/2018 is $412,150.79.

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in Quality Loan Service Corp. by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR Part 27 subpart B, and by the Secretary's designation of Quality Loan Service Corp as Foreclosure Commissioner as indicated on the attached Foreclosure Commissioner Designation, notice is hereby given that on 1/22/2019 at 11:00 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Commonly known as: 113 East Channel Islands Boulevard, Port Hueneme, CA 93041 Located in: City of Port Hueneme , County of VENTURA, CA More particularly described as: PARCEL A: PARCEL 4, IN THE CITY OF PORT HUENEME, COUNTY OF VENTURA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS SHOWN ON LICENSED SURVEYOR'S MAP, FILED IN BOOK 28, PAGE 70, OF RECORDS OF SURVEY, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY. PARCEL B: AN UNDIVIDED 1/115TH INTEREST IN AND TO THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBED LAND: PARCEL 1, IN THE CITY OF PORT HUENEME, COUNTY OF VENTURA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS SHOWN ON EACH OF THE LICENSED SURVEYOR'S MAPS, FILED IN BOOK 28, PAGES 63 TO 70 INCLUSIVE, OF RECORDS OF SURVEY, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY. EXCEPT THEREFROM ALL OIL, GAS, MINERALS AND OTHER HYDROCARBON SUBSTANCES LYING BELOW THE SURFACE OF SAID LAND, BUT WITH NO RIGHT OF SURFACE ENTRY. The sale will be held To the right of the main entrance, near the exit doors, of the Government Center Hall of Justice, 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA 93009 The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $416,808.43 There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling approximately $41,680.84 in the form of certified check or cashier's check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany an oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $41,680.44 must be presented before the bidding is closed.

The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier's check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant the winning bidder an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for

a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be paid in the form of a certified or cashier's check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the discretion of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the trustor(s) or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein.

HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier's check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. To obtain a presale reinstatement all defaults must be cured prior to the scheduled sale, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner's attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary outofpocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. To obtain information regarding reinstating the loan by paying the sums that are delinquent you should contact the Foreclosure Commissioner, Quality Loan Service Corp., at the address or phone number listed below. Tender of payment by certified or cashier's check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that EDWARD B. ELROD be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 1/30/2019 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

HEALTH

Nielsen Visits Texas Border After Second Child's Death

By Staff Reports EL PASO, Texas—Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Friday visited the Texas border city where an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy was detained with his father before dying in government custody.

DHS spokeswoman Katie Waldman said earlier in the week that Nielsen was scheduled to tour multiple stations and substations and was also scheduled to meet with emergency medical technicians and medical professionals, as well as local officials.

Nielsen then was scheduled to go to Yuma, Arizona, on Saturday.

DHS did not immediately release more details on the trip or who Felipe Gomez Alonzo.

But the information that has become public so far is alarming and demands immediate attention and investigation.

New Mexico Senator’s letter to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Nielsen met, saying it was closed to the press. Late Friday, El Paso Mayor Dee Margo confirmed he was among those who met with Nielsen, saying they discussed “our immigration needs on the border.” The statement from Margo, a Republican, did not mention the boy's death or whether it was discussed.

The trip came four days after the death of 8-year-old Felipe Gomez Alonzo. Felipe was the second Guatemalan child to die in government custody in three weeks.

Nielsen has called the death “deeply concerning and heartbreaking” and requested medical help from other government agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard. As Nielsen made the trip to Texas, New Mexico's Democratic senators, Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, sent her a

letter Friday seeking answers about the boy's death.

“The timeline, action and factors that led to Felipe's death are still developing, but the information that has become public so far is alarming and demands immediate attention and investigation,” the letter says.

Felipe and his father, Agustin Gomez, were apprehended by border agents on Dec. 18 near the Paso del Norte bridge connecting El Paso to

Juarez, Mexico, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The two were detained at the bridge's processing center and then the Border Patrol station in El Paso, until being taken at about 1 a.m.

Sunday to a facility in Alamogordo, New Mexico, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) away.

After an agent noticed Felipe coughing, father and son were taken to an Alamogordo hospital, where

Felipe was diagnosed with a common cold and found to have a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit (39.4 degrees Celsius), CBP has said.

Felipe was held for observation for 90 minutes, according to CBP, before being released with prescriptions for amoxicillin and ibuprofen.

But the boy fell sick hours later on Monday and was re-admitted to the hospital. He died just before midnight.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

New Mexico authorities said that an autopsy shows Felipe had the flu, but more tests need to be done before a cause of death can be determined.

Trump blames Democrats for migrant child deaths at U.S. border

By Staff Reports YUMA, Ariz.—President Donald Trump deflected any blame from his administration for the deaths of two Guatemalan children this month in U.S. government custody as his Homeland Security chief visited Border Patrol medical officials amid promises of more thorough health screenings for migrant children.

Instead, the president, whose administration has faced widespread criticism over the deaths, pointed the finger on Twitter at Democrats “and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” They were his first comments on the deaths.

The president's comments came Saturday afternoon, the same day Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was in Yuma,

Arizona, to meet with medical staff at the border.

Felipe and his father, Agustin Gomez, were apprehended by border agents Dec. 18 near the Paso del Norte bridge connecting El Paso to Juarez, Mexico, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The two were detained at the bridge's processing center and then the Border Patrol station in El Paso, until being taken at about 1 a.m. Sunday to a facility in Alamogordo, New Mexico, about 90 miles away.

New Mexico authorities said last Thursday that an autopsy showed Felipe had the flu, but more tests need to be done before a cause of death can be determined.

The government of El Salvador is pushing back against Trump's assertion it doesn't do enough to

stem migration north to the United States. The Central American nation says it has made strides in economic and social improvements to try to tamp down the root causes of the phenomenon.

A statement released Saturday said that the Salvadoran government has pushed a me dia campaign urging its citizens not to risk their lives making the dangerous journey, and especially not to expose children. It says migration from the country has fallen significantly this year.

Trump threatened via Twitter the previous day to cut off aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in Central America's so-called Northern Triangle region. He has made similar threats in the past without following through.

Report Squashes Hopes for California-Backed Marijuana Bank

By Kathleen Ronayne SACR AMENTO—C a lifor nia would likely lose money and face insurmountable federal hurdles if it tried to create a state-backed bank for the marijuana industry, according to a report released Thursday by the state treasurer.

The report puts an end for now to hopes California could find a way to get around banking hurdles for marijuana businesses as the state's recreational market concludes its first year in operation. A working group launched by state Treasurer John Chiang commissioned the study by a San Diego-based firm in January. State lawmakers rejected legislation for a state-backed bank earlier this year.

Chiang used the report to blast the Trump administration for cracking down on marijuana even though 33 states have legalized it for recreational or medicinal purposes. It remains a Schedule 1 drug under federal law.

“While today's announcement may not lay out the path some of us had hoped, it did reinforce the inconvenient reality that a definitive solution will remain elusive until the federal government takes action,”

California State Treasurer John Chiang

Chiang said. “They must either remove cannabis from its official list of banned narcotics or approve safe harbor legislation that protects banks serving cannabis businesses from prosecution.”

Many banks are nervous about running afoul of federal law by doing business with the industry, although some work with marijuana-related

businesses. That forces pot businesses to deal in large sums cash, a potential security risk.

Creating a state bank would likely waste taxpayer money, require $1 billion in capital investments, and wouldn't become profitable for 25 to 30 years. If federal law changes during that time, or if existing private banks

decide to take on the risk of working with the growing cannabis industry, the need for California's bank would disappear.

Public banks are rarely successful, the report found. Just two exist, in North Dakota and American Samoa, and neither was created to deal with the marijuana industry.

“The only effective long-term solution involves legislative and regulatory changes at the federal level to allow the legal banking of cannabis related funds,” the report concluded.

The report recommends California designate a state agency to help improve how the state handles cashbased tax and other marijuanarelated payments, lobby for changes to federal law and encourage existing private banks to work with cannabis businesses.

Attorney General Xavier Becerra's office also concluded a public bank for marijuana business was not feasible.

Presley's 'Comeback Special' still relevant, 50 years later

By Adrian Sainz MEMPHIS, Tenn.

(AP)—Elvis Presley wanted an honest answer. Steve Binder gave him one.

Presley was meeting Binder for the first time in Binder's office in Los Angeles in 1968. A music and television producer, Binder had been asked to put together an NBC television special featuring Presley, who had become more of a movie actor than a rock ‘n' roll singer in the 1960s when the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were dominating the rock world.

Presley and Binder talked for about an hour about music and established a rapport, Binder recalls. Then Presley popped the question: “What do you think of my career?”

“I was young and brash in those days,” Binder told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “I said, ‘I think it's in the toilet.”'

According to Binder, Presley said: “Well finally, somebody's talking straight to me.”

That meeting became a meaningful step in the creation of the one-hour TV show “Singer Presents...Elvis,” better known today as the ‘68 Comeback Special. Aired on Dec. 3, 1968, the program was a rapturous return for the 33-year-old Presley, whose music had mostly stuck to soundtrack songs from his often pulpy, saccharine films.

It was sponsored by Singer, the sewing machine company.

Relaxed at some points, energetic during others— and always inspired—a stillhandsome Presley sounds strong and soulful. He appears genuine: He sweats, his black hair gets messed up.

The finale features an emotional Presley singing “If I Can Dream,” a moving piece written for the show that served as a response to the tumult of 1968, when the Vietnam War

served as the backdrop for the assassinations of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.

Presley returned to prominence.

He began performing for sold-out crowds in Las Vegas and produced “From Elvis in Memphis,” an album that included “Suspicious Minds” and “In the Ghetto.”

Presley's career would slow down. He divorced his wife, Priscilla, and began abusing prescription drugs. He died of a heart attack on Aug. 16, 1977, in Memphis.

Still, his popularity has remained high. Graceland, the tourist attraction built around his former Memphis home, draws 500,000 visitors a year. HBO recently released a documentary, “Elvis Presley: The Searcher.” And his image and voice are regularly used in films, TV shows and commercials.

Much has been said about the importance of the ‘68 Comeback Special to Presley's career. In a 2008 Los Angeles Times article, writer Robert Lloyd calls it a “moment of change.”

“He regains his voice,” Lloyd writes.

Television had been an early friend to Presley.

He made groundbreaking

The finale features an emotional Presley singing “If I Can Dream,” a moving piece written for the show that served as a response to the tumult of 1968, when the Vietnam War served as the backdrop for the assassinations of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. appearances on variety shows hosted by Ed Sullivan and Milton Berle. Later, however, they became sources of embarrassment. Binder says Presley complained that hosts openly made fun of him.

Presley's return to TV required a leap of faith.

Binder says Presley's manager, Col. Tom Parker, wanted a Christmas-themed special.

“The colonel handed me a box with 20 Christmas songs in quarter-inch tape that disc jockeys all over America were playing on their radio stations as Elvis' Christmas gift to America,” Binder said. “There was no Elvis in it, other than him singing these Christmas songs.”

Binder would have no part of a Christmas show. The typically hard-nosed Parker relented. The special included only a small reference to the holiday, with “Blue Christmas.”

Musical director Billy Goldenberg, who preferred music from “West Side Story” over Presley's “Hound Dog,” said he had to find a path to Presley's “subconscious character, the things that were going on that he didn't say, but did.”

“He was tender and lovely and polite,” Goldenberg said during a forum during Elvis Week in August.

Goldenberg said he also noticed “a lot of rage” in Presley.

“There's a lot of raw primitiveness,” Goldenberg said. “There's a lot of sexuality in Elvis. And if course there is the tender side.”

Goldenberg wanted to “bring Elvis into the 1960s” and make him “valid.”

NBC's investment was validated. The special became its top-rated show of the year and has grown in stature since.

The network hopes to replicate the magic in February. The “Elvis All-Star Tribute” will feature Blake Shelton as host and will include well-known performers recreating the original program.

A box set released in late November includes a Blu-ray version of the program, and Binder has written a book about the show.

A show he never thought would endure.

“Nothing is dated. That show could have been shot yesterday,” Binder said. “I had no idea it would ever be seen again.”

L.A.’s Hughley Brings ‘the Funny’ to IMPROV

By M.P. Stone D.L. Hughley truly did “bring it” this past weekend at the Addison Improv and he brought four more of the funniest men on the planet with him.

It was non-stop, wall to wall, head-shaking, hands in the air, gutbusting laughter in the house from the moment the first “warm-up” comedian stepped onto the stage until Hughley stepped off. The set started off with Aziz Ansari, who tag-teamed with Clint Cooley, Jay Phillips and then Bo Dacious as they each took turns priming up the audience’s funny bone to receive the incomparable, sharp-humored Hughley.

Hughley’s smooth, comedic style and relevant material seemed flawlessly unscripted and was delivered with relatable honesty and perfection. The clever combination of natural comedic talent on Hughley’s tour was one for the history books.

The audience barely had a chance to recover from one joke when another came barreling down causing roaring screams of laughter for three and a half hours.

The sold-out shows should be a clue as to the magnitude of laughter you will expel and the pricey tickets should come with a warning label that “non-stop laughter is imminent.”

Darryl Lynn "D. L." Hughley was born March 6, 1963 in Los Angeles, California to Audrey and Charles Hughley. He grew up in L.A.'s South Central where the gang presence was thick and affiliation was almost mandatory for survival.

During those years as a member of the Bloods, Hughley was kicked out of high school for frequent misbehavior. After a close cousin was murdered Hughley wanted to change his life’s trajectory.

So, he quit the gang, got his GED and was hired as a telemarketer for the Los Angeles Times. Soon after, he moved into a management position and met his wife-to-be, LaDonna.

In February 22, 1986, D.L. married LaDonna who later convinced the “funny man” to try his humor onstage.

He started his comedic journey in 1992. After years of club dates, he was selected by BET as the first host of "Comic View” a stand-up comedy show where he remained till 1993. He also hosted Def Jam from 1992 to 1997.

In 1998, Hughley created and starred in the sitcom “The Hughley’s,” which ran until 2002. He appeared in other television productions including “Shackles,” “Scrubs” and “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”

In 2008, Hughley was selected to be the host of the BET Awards Show. He was also one of the four comedians, alongside Bernie Mac, Steve Harvey, and Cedric the Entertainer; featured in the Spike Lee film "The Original Kings of Comedy."

In 2013, Hughley became a contestant on Season 16 of Dancing with the Stars and filled in for Meredith Vieira, hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

He also participated in “Black Love” and an HBO-produced special “Unapologetic.”

Hughley is known as an author, political commentator and a talk radio show host.

His current project, “Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host” is packed full of truth and deception as contestants try to detect which of two game show hosts is telling the truth and which is telling a lie.

Each time contestants are able to correctly choose which host is being honest, they are rewarded with cash.

Hughley can be heard on Majic 94.5 weekdays. The D.L. Hughley Show airs from 2-6p.m.

After a Decade of Dormancy, Chaka Khan Blooms Again

By Mike Cidoni Lennox PASADENA (AP)—If Chaka Khan were a flower, she'd be a perennial.

“Because I go dormant and then I...” Khan stops and gracefully lifts her arms together, then slowly brings her hands apart, like a tulip emerging in spring.

“I've done it many, many times,” explained the singer, perhaps best known for her multimillion selling 1984 cover of Prince's “I Feel For You.” On the brink of her first new album in a decade, and, on New Year's Day, serving as grand marshal at the Rose Parade, Chaka Khan is in bloom again.

After receiving the call from the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, the term “grand marshal” had the 65-year-old Khan's mind running wild.

“I'll tell you what I visualized,” Khan recalled. “I imagined myself with a baton, marching in the front.

‘I'm leading the whole parade.' That's what I thought.”

Not even close.

Instead, Khan will be seated on a comfy bench in the back seat of a

classic convertible, which will slowly make its way past the thousands along the 5.5-mile parade route. (The parade will also be seen by millions more on TV.) “This is all new for me,” the 65-year-old Khan commented. “I love challenges. And I love new stuff.”

Khan will also open parade

festivities with a performance.

Publicists were unable to confirm whether the grand marshalperformer double duty is a Rose Parade first, but they did note it was the first time in recent memory.

Khan said she would sing two songs: “I Feel for You,” as well as “Hello Happiness,” the second single from the new album.

The new song is not a political statement—unless you want it to be.

“I think we need a shot of just not taking the little things so seriously,” Khan said of the “Happiness” lyrics. “Little things are important.

It's about the little things, but just flow.”

The new album, expected by the end of 2019, is her first since the

well-received 2007 “Funk This.”

So, why take such a long break between the two releases?

Khan said she never stopped recording from 2008-2018, she simply stopped releasing material.

She also took care of herself physically and made up for all those lonely years on the road by spending time with family and friends.

She also needed time to pull herself together after the April 2016 passing of old friend Prince, who died of a drug overdose. About six months later, Khan entered rehab to deal with her own prescription-drug addiction.

“You cover up and rethink your whole life,” Khan commented.

“You've got to rethink yourself.”

At last, for Khan, it is time to bloom again. And this parade, with its roses in winter, seems the perfect place for a perennial to make her return.

Khan even has her regal wave ready the masses.

“It's just that,” she said, raising her arm, cupping her hand and moving it back and forth ever so slightly.

“You use as little energy as necessary.

You know, the Queen is very stingy with her energy.”
