“We are extremely grateful, and we don’t want to leave, so we are milking every minute,” she said. “We have 40 minutes left.”

“You have a group of people who are advocating for you and trying to help,” she said.

“Community Action Outreach is a mecca for us to have an address, and we can go and get food. I’ve been there during some severe PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) moments where all I can see is the color red and blind rage.”

The group never triggers her rage, she said, and focuses on care while letting them have their personal space.

“The food (at the shelter) was awesome,” she said. “Homemade food is something we don’t get very often (and) is a blessing.

Oxnard— The Oxnard City Council received new committee assignments during its Jan. 8, meeting and is moving forward toward a system they believe will expedite the governing process and allow more vetting for every issue.

The new committees will meet for the first time Jan. 22, and the city went to great lengths to get the details ready, so the full body is not meeting until late at night trying to debate the issues.

City Manager Alex Nguyen said the first committee would be finance and governance that will have Mayor Tim Flynn as chair, Councilman Bert Perello, and Council Member Gabriela Basua as members.

“The next committee is public works and transportation, chaired by Councilman Perello, and Council Members Bryan MacDonald and Mayor Flynn,” Nguyen said.

Public safety was next, he said, and the chair will be Council Member Bryan MacDonald, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez, and Lopez.

“Housing and economic development is a change from the staff ’s recommendation in terms of the topics, and that chairperson is Council Member Madrigal, and its members are Mayor Flynn and Council Member Lopez,” Nguyen said.

The committee appointments concluded with the Community Services, he said, and the chair of that committee will be Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez, and its members will be Basua and Madrigal.

“That is what you, Mr. Mayor, worked out and it’s up to you to ratify these appointments,” Nguyen said.

ROSES 101 CLASS PREPARES GARDENERS FOR A GREAT 2019

Master Gardener Suzy Palmer explains the finer points about planting and fertilizing a new rose bush.

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Ventura County Master Gardeners braved the chilly weather Jan. 5, and hosted a lively discussion about how to raise roses, called "Roses 101", and have them flourish.

The event drew a full house to the Oxnard Farm Park and Historic Museum and became an informative discussion between people with questions about issues that arise during the year, followed by common sense answers that gardeners can put to good use in their yards.

Master Gardiner Suzy

Palmer gave a history of the rose to the crowd and said in 1986 the rose became the floral emblem of the United States and the official flower of four states: New York, Iowa, South Dakota, and Georgia.

“The nursery rhyme: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Honey is sweet and so are you, what are the flowers saying,” she asked. “The red roses say I love you, but what are the violets saying? The violets are saying I love you too. That is fun stuff for you to know.”

She identified the intent behind each rose color, as the red rose says love, romance, courage and respect, and the dark red rose signifies unconscious beauty and a single red rose means I love

“The white rose is marriage, new beginnings, purity, innocence, charm and

means jovial and happy feelings and the list goes on.”

A single rose signifies simplicity and gratitude, she said, and a rosebud is a symbol of purity and loveliness.

“The fruit of the rose bush is the head, and the head is where you find the rose seeds,” she said.

“You can propagate those rose seeds; I haven’t personally done that.”

The most popular rose is the hybrid tree rose with a large bloom and long, straight stem and people give them on Valentine’s Day, she said.

They will grow to between three and five feet tall with a mild to strong fragrance.

“It has spectacular flowers on it,” she said. “The Floribunda is an abundance of flowers, and they can grow, and they can be a single flower as well.

They are great in landscaping. The next one is the Grandiflora, and as the name applies, they grow tall, high and can be used to create a rose wall.”

The rose bush needs a sunny location to thrive when planted and requires five to eight hours of morning sunlight, which is preferred daily. If they are planted in the shade, they will not do well.

“Choose a spot where the rose will not have to compete for sunlight,” she said. “If you have a whole bunch of trees, you don’t want to put them in front of them where they will have to compete.

You also don’t want to put it in a windy area because they will break and dry out.”

From there, Suzy demonstrated on a rose bush in a container and said you want to dig a hole, put some pearlite in there and mix it into the soil.

“You don’t necessarily want to cover your bud union, but it’s not going to hurt it,” she said. “The dirt you took out of the hole you want to put back into the hole along with your rose bush.”

Palmer said the American Rose Society provided a good recipe for planting roses and advised the group to make up a mixture of soil and potting soil and then plant it in the ground.

“After you get your rose in the ground you want to give it a lot of water and fertilize around it, and it’s good for a while,” she said. “You want it to dry out, but not get so dry that it wilts. You don’t necessarily want to say today is Monday, so I am going to water my rose bushes and then next Monday you’re going to water them again because you might get rain in between there and you don’t want them to get soggy, and you don’t want the roots to rot.” Palmer lives in Ojai which get hot, and through her gardening, she discovered that her roses are drought tolerant, which means she does water them, but not a lot.

“You can use your garden hose, drip emitters or soaker hoses which can be removed,” she said.

“When you water your roses, if it’s early, the sun is shining and not too hot, you can water your whole rose bush and wash it off. That will keep it free of dust and things. In the evening, you don’t want any water on the leaves because that will cause diseases to come in and attack the rose bushes.”

She bought her fertilizer at the local hardware store and advised the group to read the back of the bag to determine how much to give their roses.

“Sometimes your roses can have mineral deficiencies, and there are certain nutrients in relatively small amounts that are required for a healthy plant,” she said. “Deficiency causes tip chlorosis and can cause the foliage to fade. Nitrogen and iron deficiencies are the most common when it happens.”’

Palmer said another virus the group has learned about is the Rose Rosette Disease that will cause “Witches Broom” on your rose bush.

“It will make the cane (stem) swell and turn a dark color or a bright color, and if that happens to your rose bush you have to take it completely out of the ground and throw it into the trash,” she said.

After the class, Palmer said she loves roses because they have a variety of colors.

“They are hearty and don’t take a tremendous amount of water, and they are beautiful,” she said.

Master Gardener Melissa Roghani lives in Newberry Park and said the group’s website tells you how to become a master gardener and it requires lots of time.

“You’re in classes for four hours and hands-on training for two hours a week, and you get involved in volunteer activities like the master gardeners are here,” she said. “It’s a tremendous organization, and they accept about 40 trainees a year, and it’s taught through the University of California (UC Davis), and it’s all scientifically based. We’re not talking about myths and old wives’ tales. If you enjoy gardening, I highly recommend it.”

To maintain certification, she said you must complete 20 hour of volunteer work and 12 hours of continuing education.

“You see a lot of master gardeners in this class because you get two hours of continuing education towards that annual 12 hours,” she said.

There are great sites in the area Master Gardener Carolyn Willard said, including Channel Islands National Park Service.

“We do a demonstration garden there, and in Camarillo, we have a ranch house, and Santa Palo has a research farm,” she said.

“I did hands-on there,” Roghani added. “In Thousand Oaks, there is the Global Center which is an approved site.”

NEWS Oxnard City Council to examine a letter opposing gun shows

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— On a split vote, the Oxnard City Council voted to examine the possibility of sending a letter to the Ventura County Fair Board asking them to not host any more gun shows at the fairgrounds.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez brought the item to the dais and hoped to stop the gun culture that is prevalent in society.

Mayor Tim Flynn noted the council is not acting on the item but agreeing to look at it and make a decision in the future.

“I am asking that this be on a future agenda to have a further discussion,” Ramirez said. “It’s a pretty simple matter. We know our city is plagued by gun violence, our police officers are picking up people

every day with guns who may or may not be buying them at the gun shows, but it is a promotion of gun culture which is hurting our community.”

The item brought a large crowd from Oxnard and other cities to the council chambers that mostly spoke in favor of the letter and did what they could to influence the council.

Steve Nash congratulated Ramirez and noted that it’s not easy to stand up to the gun lobby.

“I am so proud to live in a city that has elected this fantastic city council,” he said. “I am not sucking up; I honestly believe that. “In Governor Newsome’s Inauguration speech, he stated make no mistake, there are powerful forces against us, not just politicians in Washington, but drug companies that gouge us with high prices, a gun lobby willing to sacrifice the lives of our children to line their pockets, polluters who threaten our coastline and payday lenders who target our most vulnerable.”

He pointed out the group cannot deny the devastating impacts that mass shootings have on the community.

“Banning gun shows at the fairgrounds won’t, in of itself, solve the problems that confront us when it comes to firearms, but it is a common-sense proposal to reign in what I consider to be an out of control gun culture,” he said. “We have a governor aligned with us, we have a county board of supervisors aligned with us, and we have many in our community aligned with us.

The time for change is now.”

Troy Corley thanked Ramirez for bringing the item to the council.

“Oxnard was ground zero to get the Ventura County Fair Board to stop hosting gun shows,” she said.

“It began about two years ago when I was living in South Oxnard; I saw these ridiculous posters with guns and targets at bus stops where a gun has killed young people.”

Fast forward, and she said there is a "full coalition of people" that

wants to stop selling guns at the state-owned fairgrounds.

George Miller said there is the Second Amendment which is designed for people to help defend themselves.

“I’ve been in a number of other states that have equally virulent gun cultures that don’t have the problem we have here in Oxnard,” he said. “The problem is not guns or the gun culture; it’s the people, their education and their morality and the expectations that are set. Folks, you are barking up the wrong tree.”

Councilman Bryan MacDonald cast the lone no vote against the item and said he doesn’t look at the item and whether he is favor of it or not, but the city staff is already, and he has a problem with putting another issue on that pile.

“It’s nice to write a letter but the board has made a decision, and it’s outside of our jurisdiction,” he said.

“I apologize, but I am not going to be able to support this.”

Council recognizes Our Redeemer Lutheran Church for 70 years of service

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Oxnard City Council presented a commendation to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church during their Jan. 8, meeting that marked the 70th anniversary of the venue Jan. 12, 2019.

Mayor Tim Flynn said it was his privilege to read the commendation and the church provides a lot of services to the community.

“In particular, they have an outstanding daycare, and when I say daycare, I should say it’s a nursery,

and all of my children attended this facility, and we benefitted greatly from it,” he said. “I was also a member of Boy Scout Troop 226, and we used to meet in the scout hut, which is in the corner of the church facility.”

He commented there is a long relationship with the church and the council is proud of their accomplishments and members.

“In March 1948, a small group of Oxnard residents met to formally constitute the congregation of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with one of the original 16 members, Helen Jackson, and she’s here with us now,”

he said. “She continues as an active member of the congregation today.”

Arlin Scott said Our Redeemer Lutheran Church has been in Oxnard for 70 years and everybody is welcome.

“It doesn’t matter who you are,” he said. “Come and join us. We always have fun.”

Pastor Nancy Switzler said she been at the church for almost nine years and whenever she introduces herself as the pastor of Our Redeemer in Oxnard or Ventura, the person tells her they went to preschool at the church.

“It’s been a pleasure being the pastor here, living in the historic district downtown and being a part of this community,” she said.

“Thank you for welcoming the church.”

Jackson said she taught at Our Redeemer for 16 years and she probably knows some of the families that attended the council meeting.

“Thank you for responding to our big event on Saturday, and I hope many of you can join us,” she said.

Our Redeemer Lutheran Church is located at 721 Doris Avenue.

2019 Federal and State Legislative Program demonstrates many needs

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Oxnard City Council received its 2019 Federal and State Legislative Program update from its consultant during its Jan. 8, meeting and identified things that are important as it moves into the year.

Each council member identified things they felt were essential, and Mayor Tim Flynn said moving forward the city should pare its list down to a top five list.

Elisabeth Paniagua from EP Consulting Services reviewed 2017 with the city council and said there were limited staffing issues and the city wasn’t getting as much dedicated attention as it needed, and the city relied heavily on the council members to communicate with the elected officials.

“I came on in 2017 to provide a full update of the program itself and continue ongoing legislative services,” she said.

The Oxnard City Council

adopted a new identification of legislative priorities in early 2018, she said, plus project priorities that were identified by city staff.

They also worked with the state and federal lobbyists who were instrumental in providing input during the year and identifying potential funding sources.

“We also worked together with our lobbyists to renew some relationships with our state and federal elected officials, and we met, along with city management staff, with each of our officials in Washington and here locally. We presented 10 specific projects that we require some funding for,” she said. “The biggest win for the year was the wastewater treatment plant, and that was a $9.5 million grant from the state thanks to Assembly Member Irwin’s office and her great staff.”

They also tapped into lowinterest loans, she said, that will provide additional funding to repair the facility and other wastewater system items.

“We were also the first city in the county to be very proactive in requesting state and federal designation and economic opportunity zones and these are industrial park areas and some of the more commercial areas,”

The idea was to showcase the facilities, show the operations, the great job the city is doing, but more importantly, highlight some of the major infrastructure needs we are supporting Paniagua said. “These are federal designations which now provide some tax incentives for investors

system would have three committee members, and there is a total of five committees.

“Because of the uneven number of assignments, I am seated on an extra committee,” he said. “Every council member will be seated on two committees. One of the great things about this new system is that every other week, these committees will be meeting and there won’t be a council meeting. The committees are going to work out and hash out the details that are normally hashed out here in the council chambers and make strong recommendations to the full council. Everybody on the council is going to be able to weigh in on the issues that come before the committee, and the committees will be making recommendations to the full legislative body.”

Committee meetings will be televised, Nguyen said, rebroadcast and then archived.

“The homeless problem will go to the housing committee, and I will bring a report to that committee and the housing first project,” Nguyen said.

He said the finance and governance committee would handle all the finance and government issues, and one example will be the council’s rules and procedures.

Public works and Transportation is pretty straightforward as is public safety and housing and economic and economic development.

“Community services encompass all the programs and issues where the city is providing service to the community, like the library, recreation, the museum, and senior services,” he said. Perello said he would like to see the new council members rotate to chair positions after 12 months and Flynn said that item would be reviewed in more detail during committee meetings in 2019.

to come in and invest in our community.”

With the help of the public works team, they conducted a daylong tour of infrastructure across the city of all the major facilities that was well attended by the state and federal offices.

“The idea was to showcase the facilities, show the operations, the great job the city is doing, but more importantly, highlight some of the major infrastructure needs we are supporting,” she said.

Paniagua said she’s worked with the state and federal lobbyists in 2019 and city staff to provide legislative priorities.

“Our federal lobbyists were instrumental in helping us identify potential funding sources and met with all of our staff today, as well,” she said. “We’ve been discussing each of those priorities to try and narrow down some of the potential items we are advocating for this coming year.”

Newly appointed Chief Financial Officer Kevin Riper told the council he is excited to get to work in the City of Oxnard.

Riper named Chief Financial Officer

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen added another key piece to his team and announced during the Jan. 8, city council meeting that Kevin Riper has joined his staff and will be the new Chief Financial Officer.

Nguyen said he is “more than thrilled” to have Riper on staff and agreed to take on the city’s challenges.

“Mr. Riper comes to us with world class training and he’s earned his degrees from Harvard and Stanford,” he said. “I joke that he came short of the London School of Economics, but more importantly, he comes to us with a breath and depth of knowledge and he is exactly the kind of CFO that I need for the next three to five years.”

Riper told the council that he is thrilled to be back in California after a four-year absence and especially thrilled to be in Oxnard.

“It’s a big growing city with dynamism and growing financial challenges remaining,” he said. “A lot of progress has been made but a lot more needs to be made and I can’t wait to help you, the staff and the whole organization address those challenges.”

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez welcomed Riper and said the city needs him. “You are overdue and thanks to Mr. Milican who has been filling in,” she said.

Councilman Bert Perello welcomed Wiper and said he’s asked many financial questions in the past and he believes that he’ll get better answers and work from Wiper.

“I am looking forward to it,” he said.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2019

OPED I Thought but Then I Unthought Dr. James L. Snyder Looking back over my life I honestly can say, giving it a great deal of thought, the biggest problem I have is when I actually think. Thinking can get me into more trouble than anything else I do.

This was no more evident than recently we got a phone call from the bank. I hate it when the bank calls because they never call to wish me happy birthday or wonder how in the world I am doing today. They always have an agenda. Usually, that agenda has to do with my money.

When I answered the phone all I could say was, “Here we go again.”

Much to my relief it was not about my account, but rather it was the bank account of the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. I cannot tell you the smile that slapped itself all over my face when I heard this.

Immediately I called my wife to the phone and said, “It’s your bank calling you about your account.”

Smilingly I handed the phone to her.

For years, we have had separate accounts and it has worked out rather well. I remember when we first were married we had a joint account and it was always getting messed up. We had two checkbooks for the same account, which did not make any sense at all. Everything was messed up and checks bounced all over the place.

To solve this dilemma, we decided to have our own checking account in separate banks. I am not quite sure about her account, but the checks keep bouncing in my account and I am not exactly sure why.

The bank was calling my wife because there had been a suspicious activity on her account. I thought about telling them that other activity on her bank account was also suspicious, but sometimes I know when not to speak.

According to the bank, my wife bought a package of wine costing $600 and they were wondering if she was buying it for the church communion service. I heard my wife laugh and figured out there is something going on. We do not use wine in our communion service, we use grape juice. However, the bank did not know why my wife was buying wine.

The only wine in our house is me, who whines all the time and

believe me, according to my wife, my whining is very intoxicating. At least to her it is.

We finally had to go down to the bank and try to sort this mess out.

My wife tried to tell them that she did not make such a purchase.

I would like to tell you how delighted I was to go to the bank with her and see her in a dilemma that I did not create. I know I create a lot of dilemma in our home. The fact that we been married as long as we have been married says a lot for her tolerance of whiny old people like me.

“We did not think,” the bank manager said to my wife, “that you were buying wine like this. We thought perhaps you might have been buying wine for the church communion service.”

All three of us laughed a very

hearty laugh because she knew we did not use wine in our communion service.

However, the truth of the matter was, there was this activity on her account in the amount of $600. My surprise was that she had that much money in her account. I scratched my head a bit and thought, where did she get all that money? Immediately I had to unthought that and get back to the basics of our visit here in the bank.

The bank manager got out all of the paperwork with this transaction.

The first thing of note was that it took place in a liquor store in Southern California where my wife had never been.

My wife looked at me and said sarcastically, “Why are you smiling?”

I thought about telling her, but then I unthought that and got back to the details of the transaction.

In looking at that transaction, the bank manager happened to notice that it was on a particular Sunday when it took place. That Sunday my wife was in church. In fact, the time of the transaction was when my wife was playing the organ.

“Can you verify that she was playing the organ at that time?” The bank manager asked me.

A thought that came into my mind was to tell the bank manager that my wife was so talented that she could be in two places at the same time. After further thought on that, I unthought that idea.

The bank manager finally took care of that transaction and we were able to leave the bank knowing us, or rather she, was free from that transaction. I did not say anything on the way home, but I was smiling on the inside.

Thinking can be a very hazardous occupation, but I was reminded what Paul said. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).

OPED A New Year for Children

By Marian Wright Edelman As we begin the New Year, every new headline reminds us that these are very tumultuous times.

I start this season redoubling my determination to focus all my energies towards helping build a transforming movement for children to end child poverty and inequality at this extremely dangerous time of attempted regression. And we must all strengthen our efforts to continue to try to provide a moral compass and example for our young and organize relentlessly to protect all of our children. The Children’s Defense Fund’s mission to leave no child behind and ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair

We must all…provide a moral compass and example for our young and organize relentlessly to protect all of our children.

Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities has never been more important. These are extremely perilous times for children and for our nation and world.

Although we face unprecedented challenges and threats to the safety and well-being of children at home and around the world, we must all resist and take whatever actions are required for as long as it takes never to go backwards.

So often we procrastinate and make excuses for our inaction, depression, and despair. It’s not the right time. I can’t make a difference.

It’s not my business. Nobody will pay attention. It’s overwhelming and my little bit doesn’t matter. We must struggle with ourselves and ask God’s forgiveness and help to keep being useful and not let daily distractions keep us from pushing forward.

And we always must remember that it is always the right time to do right. I share an adapted version of Madeleine L’Engle’s poem “First Coming” (used by permission in my book Guide My Feet as published in Imagining the Word): God did not wait till the world was ready, till . . . nations were at peace.

God came when the Heavens were unsteady, and prisoners cried out for release.

God did not wait for the perfect time.

God came when the need was deep and great.

God dined with sinners in all their grime, turned water into wine.

God did not wait till hearts were pure.

In joy God came to a tarnished world of sin and doubt.

To a world like ours, of anguished shame God came, and God’s Light would not go out.

God came to a world which did not mesh, to heal its tangles, shield its scorn.

In the mystery of the Word made Flesh the Maker of the stars was born.

We cannot wait till the world is sane to raise our songs with joyful voice, for to share our grief, to touch our pain, God came with Love: Rejoice! Rejoice!

These words are a reminder and encouragement for all we must and will do in the new year. As the holy season comes to a close and the time for new beginnings emerges, let’s commit to moving forward together for children

with purpose, determination, gratitude, and joy.

Marian Wright Edelman is Past-President of the Children’s Defense Fund, whose Leave No Child Behind’s mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

Medicare prescription drug price controls will produce unintended consequences for everyone else

By Robert Romano The Trump administration is pursuing a plan to control prescription drug prices under Medicare via what can only be called price controls.

In October, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) unveiled a plan for an “international pricing index” that would determine how much Medicare pays out for certain prescription drugs.

According to CMS, “CMS is considering testing an alternative payment for included drugs that would apply when [the average sale price] ASP is higher than an international price. Instead of paying based on ASP, CMS would pay for the drug based on a Target Price derived from international price index and designed to draw down Part B drug prices toward international prices over the course of the model.”

CMS estimates 30 percent savings “in total spending for the selected Part B drugs in the model.”

Unfortunately, setting prices based on the proposed international pricing index may have many unintended consequences.

While Medicare can certainly set the price it is going to pay for prescription drugs, CMS should consider that many of the western countries like the UK that will be included in the price index control drug prices via subsidies and similar

price controls.

Imposing those same prices on drug producers in the U.S. will not reduce the cost of bringing these drugs to market. Instead, pharmaceutical companies will simply have to look for offsets elsewhere, increasing prices on other drugs to non-Medicare patients in order to meet their bottom lines. It’s a business, after all.

The only reason pharmaceutical companies produce live-saving drugs is because they are profitable.

It’s the only way to sustain themselves. So, prices will have to go up elsewhere. That’s the way it works.

Then, when that pressure is felt elsewhere, it will then generate more pressure for further price controls by the federal government. Or, a natural

reaction by the pharmaceuticals, if the price controls become onerous, then would be to lobby for more subsidies instead as an alternative to the price controls.

Either way, taxpayers pay more.

Instead of reducing costs with bringing drugs to market, with some estimates as high as $2.7 billion to bring certain drugs to the market with all of the necessary approvals

and regulatory requirements, the administration is unfortunately focused on controlling the end result. But this is an area that begs for deregulation.

Ultimately, if new drugs are not profitable to bring to market, in the extreme, then we won’t get new cures. That is stagnation. What you’ll wind up with is a market for existing drugs but not for new ones.

Overseas, in Australia, certain drugs that are not approved for sale never get a chance.

Right now, the U.S. pays more for prescription drugs that fuels this necessary research into new, better drugs. Instead rushing to meet the rest of the world on the plateau of stagnation via their price controls, we should be considering making deals that would up other countries’ payments to fund innovation. This is something that could be negotiated.

With some of the most important cures yet to be developed, is now really the time to make new research costlier?

The Trump administration needs to slow this proposal down — and fully consider the likely market consequences of prescription drug price controls, especially to nonMedicare patients who will wind up paying — before it slows down innovation.

Robert Romano is the Vice President of Public Policy at Americans for Limited Government.

continue monitoring legislation as it comes down in the next few months and advise the city on positions in favor of or against legislation and continue to work with the lobbyist teams to connect with elected officials and keep working with federal agencies.

The 2019 priority areas are community services, economic development, finance, housing, labor relations, land use, local control, military bases, public safety, sustainability for energy and environment, telecommunications, transportation, and water.

Council member Vianey Lopez said the areas she is the most interested in are housing, homeless assistance, and community services.

“They are broad in general,” she said.

Councilman Bert Perello asked Paniagua to work handin-hand with the city staff and the Ventura County Watershed Protection to do anything they can do to generate state and federal grants, so they work for the greatest benefits for Oxnard’s residents.

“There is a competitive field out there for requests

for information and grants, and working side-by-side has been beneficial in the past for specific areas,” he said. “This is, in my opinion, not a political issue for my district or any one person’s district. This ranges from problems with the levies, the harbor, and the J Street drain.”

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said in addition to Assembly Member Jacqui Irwin, Senator Hanna Beth Jackson and Assembly Woman Monique Limon helped get the money for the wastewater.

We cannot prosper in any way shape or form until we get that taken care of.”

Mayor Tim Flynn said his three priorities didn’t make the list, but he wants to identify how to get the two power plants removed from Oxnard’s coastline.

“I am especially concerned about what Mayor Pro Tem (Carmen Ramirez) brought up about gang intervention

because we have excellent opportunities to try to divert youth from making poor choices and engaging in antisocial behavior. I also felt that land use decisions that are being more driven by the State of California than they are local.

Local control to me is important, and I fully understand there is resistance.”

Paniagua said they would be meeting with lobbyists over the next few months and try and identify funding sources.

nature.”

Estrella lives in a tent in Port Hueneme and has been out of shelter since June 30, 2018, which is a hostile situation full of mental and physical torment.

“They shot me with something and hurt my hip, and there is stealing and lots of theft,” she said. “It’s not the gangs that you would think are doing this. It’s people, clean-cut American people, middle-class people, who are the worst perpetrators.”

As the city moves toward a full-time shelter for the homeless community, she is a big advocate of the effort.

“Just like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous) do outreach through AL anon, we need a strong pool like that for those of us from the human trafficking world which is where I stem from since I was nine months old,” Estrella said. “It’s taken me half-way around the world and back again.”

That’s where Malu, her service dog, comes in, she said, as the canine has four degrees, search and rescue, autism, PTSD, and seizures which has come from handson work. Budding Nations got her certification from the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) guidelines.

“They are a huge vast network of individuals,” Estrella said. “During severe PTSD moments, which seems to be the biggest problem now, there is a break with reality, so everybody becomes an enemy, and you’re like a caged animal in the corner fighting anybody who comes at you. Manu blocks that because she stays grounded in what’s real and she tells me to back down, sort of and

becomes the wolf, leader of the pack and I become her puppy. I trust her because we have such trust issues, but I can trust her openly and without any reservations.

Whatever she says goes, so I don’t accidentally attack somebody that has no reason to be attacked.”

That can be a difficult task, she said, which stems from the abuse Estrella came

Just like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous) do outreach through AL anon, we need a strong pool like that for those of us from the human trafficking world which is where I stem from since I was nine months old from, so Manu helps her after the attack passes because she is riddled with guilt about whether she hurt someone, and wishes she wasn’t so broken.

“That’s where her therapeutic sense comes in, and she is a cuddly thing that says it’s okay, you’re a survivor,” Estrella said.

“Sometimes it’s cuddling, and other times it’s hearing me out, and sometimes it’s like shouting and telling me

to stop shouting.”

Shelter Manager Amanda Herrera had a busy night and said the facility had three women come in, including Estrella who slept with Manu and a family that was diverted to a motel about 30 minutes after they arrived and the county will provide the family with services.

“We had 27 men in here, so that brings our total to 35 people,” she said. “There were 30 people who stayed in the shelter.”

The shelter operates with many volunteers, she said, plus catering from Dominic’s, and despite it being busy, the evening went smoothly, as the rain came as predicted and everyone was already coming inside, put their belongings away and was eating.

“It was great the way it happened,” she said. “I thought they would be here until 9 a.m., but we have to take into account that today is Sunday, and there are also a handful of them who are out on their paper routes.

We have to keep that in mind because most of the homeless individuals have jobs like that, so we let a few of them out early this morning.”

She had a painting party earlier in the day and said there were many compliments about the new color scheme as it now has a temporary shelter vibe instead of a National Guard feel.

“I am trained as a social worker, so the social worker in me says let me give them a home and not just a place where they can lay their head at night, but they can come and talk to me. The ones who stay behind and clean up are the ones who know me and know that I will stay behind until it is done.”

She said the center just got staffed and she is trying to train them to be more empathetic towards the plight of the homeless.

“There are some severely mentally ill individuals in here, and I am not compliant to medications so we might have people who talk to themselves, but they are not a danger to themselves or others,” she said. “You’ve got to speak cautiously to them.

Nothing is bothering them and they are not bothering anybody,” she said. “I think this population needs a little more compassion and somewhere to call home at least for the time being.”

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances

at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,576,410.70 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell.

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

LEGAL tion 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.

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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2019

LEGAL any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, the winning bidders with the exception of the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certified check or cashier's check made payable to the undersigned Foreclosure Commissioner. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $42,559.10. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $42,559.10 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 conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment 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 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 in the form of a certified or cashiers 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 direction 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 mortgagor 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. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must be otherwise cured. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ANY OUTSTANDING FEES, COSTS, AND INTEREST WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS. 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are

encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on 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 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 029601-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.

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

HEALTH

New California governor's first actions target health care

By Jonathan J. Cooper SACRAMENTO—Gov. Gavin Newsom's first act as governor Monday was to propose statefunded health coverage for 138,000 young people in the country illegally and a reinstatement of a mandate that everyone buy insurance or face fines.

Newsom also proposed giving subsidies to middleclass families that make too much to qualify them under former President Barack Obama's health care law. He signed an order giving the state more bargaining power in negotiating prescription drug prices. And he sent a letter to President Donald Trump and congressional leaders seeking more authority over federal health care dollars and policies.

Newsom was elected following a campaign that leaned heavily on his promise to provide health coverage to everyone. His actions hours after he took the oath of office take a step in that direction but the $760 million price tag will require approval from the Democratically controlled Legislature. His letter to Republicans in Washington shows the uphill battle he'll face to meet his goal of enacting a "single payer" health care plan that would combine state and federal health care dollars with new taxes to provide publicly funded insurance to everyone in the state.

The idea is a top priority for many in Newsom's liberal base but has been stymied by the staggering cost—a prior proposal was pegged at $400 billion—and the need for waivers from federal laws.

His proposals to cover immigrants and expand subsidies were a preview of his budget to be released later this week. They mirror ideas pushed last year by Democrats in the Assembly, who were unable to convince former Gov. Jerry Brown to embrace them.

"Gov. Newsom is right to make access to quality, affordable health care a priority," Assembly Speaker

As Health Law Case Goes to Appeals Court, Sign-Ups Steady

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar

Anthony Rendon, a Democrat from the Los Angeles area, said in a statement.

California has a projected surplus of $15 billion.

The proposals show Newsom is serious about health reform, but they need scrutiny to fully understand the consequences, said Assemblyman Chad Mayes of Yucca Valley, the top Republican on the Assembly Health Committee.

"Government has an important role to play in holding the health care industry accountable," Mayes said. "However, it must be balanced and not overreach or hinder innovation."

The Affordable Care Act required everyone in the country to buy insurance or pay a penalty, a controversial policy meant to ensure that the insurance pool has a mix of healthy and sick people.

The penalty was zeroed out in 2017 by the Republican Congress and President Donald Trump. Insurance companies, concerned that only people with expensive health problems would buy coverage, responded by raising premiums for people who buy their own coverage without going through an employer.

California would join Massachusetts, New Jersey and

Vermont as states with their own insurance mandates.

Obama's health law also created subsidies to help people buy coverage if they don't get it from an employer or a government program such as Medicare or Medicaid.

Newsom would use $500 million in state money to make the subsidies larger for 1.1

His proposals to cover immigrants and expand subsidies … mirror ideas pushed last year

by Democrats in the Assembly. million families that already get them and provide new assistance to about 250,000 people who make too much.

Newsom's plan would provide financial assistance for individuals who make up to about $73,000 a year and families of four making up to $150,000.

California's uninsured rate has dropped to just over 7

percent. Many of those who still lack coverage are ineligible for publicly funded programs, such as Medi-Cal and private insurance subsidies, because they're living in the country illegally.

Medi-Cal, the state's version of Medicaid, is jointly funded by the state and federal government and provides coverage to one in three Californians.

California uses state money to extend Medi-Cal coverage to people living in the country illegally up to age 19. Newsom proposes pushing back the cutoff to age 26, covering an additional 138,000 people at a cost of about $260 million a year, according to Newsom's spokesman, Nathan Click.

Newsom signed an executive order directing state agencies to move toward purchasing drugs in bulk for all of the 13 million people on Medi-Cal. Purchasing for all but 2 million people is currently handled by the private insurers that serve as managed care organizations. Newsom hopes bulk purchasing drugs will give the state enormous bargaining power to negotiate lower prices.

His order directs state agencies to explore letting others, including employers and private insurers—join the state's purchasing pool.

WASHINGTON, DC—Democratic Attorneys General last week appealed a federal court ruling that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional, as new enrollment numbers underscored the staying power of the Obama-era law.

The government reported that about 8.4 million Americans have signed up this year under the law, reflecting steady demand for its subsidized health insurance. President Donald Trump still disdains “Obamacare,” but he failed to repeal it after promising a better plan in its place.

The Democratic Attorneys General said they've launched their appeal of a recent ruling by a conservative federal judge in Texas who declared the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. In Washington, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced a vote next week on a resolution that would authorize lawyers for the House to join the appeal.

The health law remains in place while the lawsuit continues before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

Last week’s enrollment update covers the 39 states served by the federal HealthCare.gov website. For those states, signup season officially ended Dec. 15. The final count will be higher, after major states like California and New York that run their own campaigns are added in.

The Trump administration called the sign-up numbers “remarkably steady” at a time when unemployment has been low and more workers have access to job-based coverage.

Sign-ups in the 39 HealthCare.gov states were about 5 percent lower than last year, despite the administration's deep cuts to the advertising budget and Trump's ongoing disdain for the program.

A former Obama administration official said it's validation for former President Barack Obama's signature law.

“A larger percentage of people kept their coverage than ever before,” Joshua Peck, who previously ran marketing for HealthCare.gov, said after analyzing the new numbers.

“Once again, demand for comprehensive health coverage wins the day and underscores the resiliency of the Affordable Care Act.” With the House under Democratic control, repeal is out of the question for Republican foes of “Obamacare.”

The greatest threat to the ACA now seems to come from a lawsuit filed by group of Republican-led states.

U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth, Texas, recently ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, declaring the entire law unconstitutional after Congress repealed its fines for uninsured people.

Democratic State Attorneys General defending the health law announced that they have formally launched their appeal of O'Connor's ruling. The Democratic state officials stepped in after the Trump administration said it would no longer defend key parts of the ACA, such as its protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions.

“We think the decision was wrong-headed and that it was an over-reach,” said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

If the case were to reach the Supreme Court, the five justices who upheld the health law in its first major challenge continue to serve. They are the court's four liberals and Chief Justice John Roberts. Becerra said the appeals court case may take a year to decide.

Support for Weed Continues to Grow Nationwide

By Stacy M. Brown “When you look at the data, legalizing cannabis has an overwhelming net positive on the community. Huge spike in tax revenue, lower opiate deaths, big boosts in jobs and business opportunities, and safe access to a plant that benefits millions of people,” Max Simon, CEO of Green Flower, told NNPA Newswire.

Recreational marijuana could be legal in New Jersey as early as January.

While lawmakers failed to act in a timely manner to get legislation through before the end of 2018, a bill to legalize recreational marijuana was voted out of a joint committee in the state legislature in late November – the New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee voted 7-4 with two abstentions while the Assembly Budget Committee voted 7-3 with one abstention.

The bill – SB 2703—would legalize the possession and use of limited amounts of marijuana for adults 21 and older. It would also create a state

system to oversee the operations of a new industry.

Union Democratic Sen. Nick Scutari led the applause for the momentum of the bill.

“We moved it along quite well,” Scutari said, noting that Gov. Phil Murphy has exhibited a “willingness to sign a legalization bill…”

Scutari was far from the only

celebrant. Roseanne Scotti, the director of the Drug Policy Alliance of New Jersey proclaimed that history was made with the passage of the bill and others contended that legalizing marijuana would be good for the state.

“When you look at the data, legalizing cannabis has an overwhelming net positive on the community. Huge spike in

tax revenue, lower opiate deaths, big boosts in jobs and business opportunities, and safe access to a plant that benefits millions of people,” Max Simon, CEO of Green Flower, told NNPA Newswire.

“It’s exciting to see New Jersey join the rest of the country in taking important steps forward to legalize marijuana,” Simon said.

Serge Chistov, financial partner of Honest Marijuana Company said the great part about marijuana legalization in New Jersey is that officials are looking to instantly eliminate the problem that the rest of the states are having, as far as creating a state-backed banking environment.

“I am not sure how far they are into the process and if it is going to happen, but it seems to me that New Jersey is looking to learn from the mistakes that are in the other states and instead have a supportive environment for the participants in the market,” Chistov said. “If that is the direction they are going to go in, we love the sound of it,” he said.

Dr. Stuart Titus, CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc., said unprecedented support for marijuana was gained in 2018.

“Besides the many health and wellness benefits of the plant that many people are just now discovering, we’ve been able to see great state taxes benefits from it as well,” Titus said.

“In New Jersey, it’s estimated that even though the state could have the lowest taxes on recreational marijuana in the country, it could still collect a little over $210 million in taxes next year. As a company, we are excited at the expanded access and hope that this progress will help forward federal legalization within the next few years,” he said.

Attorney Edward T. Fisher, who is a member in Griesing Law’s Commercial Litigation and Corporate Transactions and Compliance Practice Groups, said as the New Jersey legislature considers the legalization of recreational marijuana, a host of interesting legal issues emerges.

‘Green Book,’ ‘Roma’ Score Golden Globe Wins

By Staff Reports BEVERLY HILLS— "Green Book," the story of the bond that grows between a Black musician and a white New York nightclub bouncer during a 1960s tour through the Deep South, took home a trio of Golden Globes Sunday evening, while the Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" was named best drama film.

"Green Book" earned Globes for best comedy/musical film, best screenplay and best supporting actor for Mahershala Ali. Director Peter Farrelly called the film honor "beyond anything we ever imagined when we started shooting this thing."

He said the film's story—about how people of different races can bond simply by spending time together and talking—"gave me hope."

"If Don Shirley and Tony Vallelonga can find common ground, we all can," he said. "All we have to do is talk and not judge people by the differences, but look for what we have in common, and we have a lot in common."

Mahershala Ali's supportingactor prize for portraying musician Don Shirley was the first Globe win of his career.

"Dr. Shirley was a brilliant man," Ali said. "I just want to thank him for his passion, his virtuosity, the dignity with which he carried himself every day."

He also hailed his co-star, Viggo Mortensen, calling him "an extraordinary screen partner."

"You pushed me every day, man.

No days off. Even the days off weren't days off," Ali said.

Regina King won her first career Golden Globe for her supporting work in "If Beale Street Could Talk."

She hailed writer-director Barry Jenkins, saying, "I love you with all my heart. Thank you for your empathy. Thank you for telling stories so rich."

King also made the biggest

I've been doing this a long time and I'm up here trembling like a leaf."

He thanked Douglas and co-star Alan Arkin, saying that without them, "the script for this would be

political statement of the night, pledging that on all of her entertainment industry projects in the next two years, she will employ "50 percent women."

"I challenge anyone out there who is in a position of power, not just in our industry but in all industries, I challenge you to challenge yourselves and stand with us in solidarity and do the same," King said.

The Mexican film "Roma" won for best foreign-language film, while Alfonso Cuarón was named best director for helming the project. He gave thanks to Netflix for bringing the "very unlikely film" to the public eye, and said the movie was shaped "by this place, this very complex

lab that shaped and created me, so muchas gracias Mexico."

"Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse" was named best animated film.

Sandra Oh—who co-hosted Sunday night's ceremony with Andy Samberg—won her second career Globe, winning for best actress in a drama series for BBC America's crime-thriller "Killing Eve." She won a Globe in 2006 for best supporting TV actress for her work on "Grey's Anatomy."

She hailed "Killing

Eve's" cast and crew, but said, "Mostly there are two people here tonight that I'm so grateful that they're here for me. I'd like to thank my mother and my father."

Netflix's "The Kominsky Method" was named best comedy series, while the show's star, Michael Douglas, won the prize for best actor in a comedy.

The series' cocreator, Chuck Lorre, was visibly shaken by the win.

"This doesn't happen to me,"

Douglas, who portrays an aging acting coach on the show, thanked his fellow cast members while accepting the honor, and also hailed his family, including his 102-yearold father, Kirk Douglas.

"Truth be told, I owe all of this to one man out there, Mr. Chuck Lorre," Douglas told the crowd.

"Chuck thinks getting old is funny.

Thank you for your exquisite work."

The win was Douglas' fourth career Golden Globe, including a best- actor honor for his work in the film "Wall Street." He also received the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2004.

Roma won for Best Foreign Film as did Director, Alfonso Cuarón.

DJ Art Laboe, 93, Spins Oldies to Link Inmates and Family

By Russell Contreras PALM SPRINGS—It's approa­ ching 9 p.m. and Art Laboe adjusts the microphone as Sister Sledge's “We Are Family” ends.

“And now it's time for you to call up for those goodnight dedications,” Laboe announces.

“Hello?” a young girl says. “I want to dedicate this to my dad that's in Lancaster (prison) and I miss tonight ... I just want to say, Dad, I love you no matter where you go...”

She dissolves into tears.

The 93-year-old DJ based in Palm Springs, California, credits one group of listeners for keeping him on the air after 75 years: family members who want to send messages to loved ones in prison.

Every Sunday on his syndicated show “The Art Laboe Connection Show,” his baritone voice calls on family members to speak directly to inmates in California, Arizona or Nevada. Sometimes, Laboe reads parts of letters written by inmates.

It's a role Laboe says he feels honored to play.

“I don't judge,” Laboe said in an interview with The Associated Press at his Palm Springs studio. “I like people.”

He often tells a story about a woman who came by the studio so her toddler could tell her father, who

was serving time for a violent crime, “Daddy, I love you.”

“It was the first time he had heard his baby's voice,” Laboe said. “And this tough, hard-nosed guy burst into tears.”

Born Arthur Egnoian in Salt Lake City to an Armenian-American family, Laboe grew up during the Great Depression in a Mormon household run by a single mom. His sister sent him his first radio when he was 8 years old. The voices and stories that came from it enveloped him.

“And I haven't let go since,” Laboe said.

He moved to California, attended Stanford University and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Eventually, he landed a job as a radio announcer at KSAN in San Francisco and adopted the name Art Laboe after a boss suggested he take the last name of a secretary to sound more American.

But it was when Laboe worked as a DJ for KXLA in Los Angeles where he gained fame. Laboe was one of the first DJs to play R&B and rock ‘n'

roll in California and is credited by scholars for helping integrate dance halls among Latinos, Blacks, Asian Americans and whites who were drawn to his multicultural musical line up.

By 1956, Laboe's afternoon show became the city's top radio program.

Over the decades, Laboe maintained a fan base, especially among Mexican-Americans who followed him from station to station.

He started getting calls from inmates' family members in the 1990s on his syndicated oldies show. Current and

former gang members were some of his most loyal fans.

“Here is someone who gave a voice to the most humble of us all through music,” said Lalo Alcaraz, a syndicated cartoonist and television writer who grew up listening to Laboe in San Diego. “He brought us together. That's why we sought him out.”

Over the years, the syndicated show on Sunday has aired in California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

In 2015, iHeartMedia's KHHTFM (92.3) dropped Laboe's syndicated oldies show after the station abruptly switched to a hiphop format, sparking angry protest in Los Angeles.

“Without Art Laboe, I'm So Lonely I Could Cry,” wrote essayist Adam Vine. Laboe later returned to the Los Angeles airwaves on another station.

Alex Nogales, president and CEO of the Los Angeles-based National Hispanic Media Coalition, said generations of Latino fans still attend Laboe-sponsored concerts to hear the likes of Smokey Robinson, The Spinners or Sunny & The Sunliners.

“I see these really tough looking guys in the crowd. I mean, they look scary,” Nogales said. “Then Art comes out and they just melt. They love him.”
