Oxnard-- Our Redeemer Lutheran Church held its 70th Anniversary event at the venue, Jan. 12, which brought a full house of members, former members and guests who came back to celebrate with the congregation and have a great afternoon of fellowship after the service.

The mass was celebrated by Bishop Guy Irwin, followed by a light meal, refreshments, and a big cake to commemorate the occasion.

Irwin said the church is one of 115 congregations in his area and its 70th anniversary places it in the mid-range compared to the other churches.

“It’s a lovely stable community that was founded by Norwegian Americans, but now it includes people of all kinds,” he said.

“We rejoice in its long life and hope it has many years to come.”

Presiding over the church’s 70th anniversary is both meaningful and vital to be with the church during that point of history, he said, and as they celebrate future anniversaries, they’ll look back at the church’s 70th. n Redeemer, see page 3

A large group of Seabreeze Apartment residents made signs and protested the management company at Seabreeze Apartments.

CROWD PROTESTS SEABREEZE APARTMENTS Group accuses management and owners of fraudulent practices

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— Public comments at the Jan 15 Oxnard City Council meeting took on a hostile tone, as a large group of residents from the Seabreeze Apartment community came to the meeting to complain about discriminatory practices at the location.

Residents told the council about being discriminated against at the location, substandard housing for the residents and the group was taken advantage of by the developer.

Chris Estrada spoke first on

behalf of the tenants’ association and said a for-profit developer in 2016 purchased the live-in 92 units designated as affordable housing.

The developer received an inexpensive mortgage, he said, funded by tax credits and affordable bonds.

“The Oxnard City Council approved the bond distribution based on what turned out to be fraudulent representation by the company to the council about what would happen to the existing tenants of the property, postpurchase,” he said. “The tenants have written documentation of the

fraud, and the judge has already said twice that the company has lied to the city. They (the owner) said existing tenants would qualify to stay in the project or get alternative housing at the same rent.”

In reality, he said the tenants were given no-fault eviction notices a few months later. A 30-day nofault eviction notice can be served to a tenant who lives at a unit for one year or a 60-day notice for someone who lives in an apartment for two or more years.

“A judge decided that the company’s fraudulent representation can’t be the basis

for civil liability because they were made in the context of a legislative process when the city council approved the bond distribution,” he said. “The company can only be held liable by a legislative body, and that’s why we are here tonight.”

He asked the council to hold MRK Partners Incorporated and Seabreeze Partners LP, the developers and owners of the Seabreeze developers accountable for defrauding the city and the development’s tenants by levying punitive fines and cease any business dealings with both companies and deny them any future permits,

projects or approvals.

“Hold these developers accountable for their failure to repair the habitability issues in the buildings," "Put an immediate end to all discriminatory and retaliatory practices, including the refusal to allow the Seabreeze Tenants Union members to renew their lease agreements and protect the tenants from future retaliatory rent increases and evictions.”

Following Estrada’s comments, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez asked if the group has legal representation and Estrada said n Crowd protests, see page 6

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 2019

NEWS Dear Editor, Even after the Oxnard City Council likely spent well over $500,000 of your money in legal costs to overturn your vote on Measure M – and then losing in court – they chose last Tuesday to double down by appealing the judge’s ruling.

Measure M was adopted with 72% of the vote in November 2016 to repeal an excessive 87% rate increase in our sewer bills.

Of course, the city has fought residents since the beginning. First the city sued to keep Measure M off the ballot … and lost.

Later, after voters enacted Measure M, the city amended its lawsuit to overturn the people’s vote – and the rate repeal was placed on hold while waiting for trial.

The trial details were rather embarrassing for the city. We demonstrated that their figures were tainted by math errors that would fail a 7th grade math test. Their math errors understated by millions the amount of revenues they were generating. They miscalculated by millions how much revenue is required to comply with their bond contracts. In the end, the city’s numbers just didn’t add up to the financial calamity that they claimed to the judge.

Ultimately, Judge Rocky Baio decided that not only were the facts on our side, but so was law, ruling that Measure M was a valid exercise of the people’s right to use initiatives to repeal excessive sewer rates.

Well, it appears that the city is not ready to refund just over $5 million of overcharges ratepayers endured while Measure M was on hold. Even though bond ratings agency Standard & Poor’s in November conceded that refunding the overcharges to ratepayers would have no adverse effect.

Gonzalez-Palomares charged with attempted

murder

On Jan. 6, 2019 at approximately 8:20 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the 4000 block of South Victoria Avenue regarding a possible stabbing victim.

When officers arrived, they contacted a 35-yearold Hispanic male suffering from several stab wounds to his upper body. He was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment of his injuries. The suspect, identified as Deysi Gonzalez-Palomares, had fled the scene before the arrival of officers.

Officers believed that Gonzalez-Palomares had been sitting in a vehicle with the male victim before the incident.

During the investigation it was determined that Gonzalez-Palomares obtained a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times then fled on foot. The investigation also

revealed that both GonzalezPalomares and the victim are married but separated with children. They reside in the

cities of Port Hueneme and Oxnard respectively.

Officers located GonzalezPalomares hours later on the

date of the stabbing. She was found to have self-inflicted, non-life-threatening injuries.

Officers contacted EMS and had her transported to a local hospital for treatment. She was admitted to the hospital while she recovered from her injuries.

On Jan. 8, 2019, at approximately 7:40 p.m., Gonzalez-Palomares was released from the hospital.

Officers transported her to the Ventura County Jail where she was booked for the attempted murder of her husband and set her bail at $560,000.

Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Detective Donald Ehrhardt at 805-385-7609, or you can remain anonymous by calling the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800222-8477. You can also visit venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email.

OPD arrests Diaz

Yet, on Tuesday the Oxnard City Council voted 6-0 to spend a lot more of your money to appeal their court loss.

Thwarting voters through the courts wasn’t the only tool in the city council’s toolbox. While waiting for trial in 2017, the city council replaced the rates repealed

by Measure M with a brand new set of rate increases, a 75% increase spread over six years.

So, even after the city lost in court, wastewater rates are currently 49.5% higher than they were when this process started in January 2016. Your rates will increase another 5.25% on July 1.

With these increases under their belt, the wastewater utility has accumulated tens of millions of dollars of reserve funds.

Additionally, the state has awarded $9.5 million of grants to help pay for some short-term projects.

The city claims their battle against your vote is a noble endeavor … that public safety demands that they use your tax dollars to eviscerate your constitutional right to overturn abusive utility rate increases.

Of course, their public safety argument rings hollow once you point out that city hall is diverting millions of ratepayer dollars to the general fund instead of spending it to repair and maintain the wastewater utility infrastructure…and with past rate increases, they did not actually use the funds for the capital projects they promised.

When a politician tells you that there is some underlying principle that demands you to fork over more of your money, the odds are good that it’s really just about the money.

Rest assured, we will once again vigorously defend the rights of voters in court.

OPD arrests Sandoval and Sarmiento

On Jan 10, 2019, at approximately 2:10 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department were in the area of the 1600 block of Visalia Street when they observed a wanted subject, identified as Jonathan Sandoval, 29 years old. Officers saw Sandoval seated inside of a black Toyota Corolla parked in front of a home. Officers approached, and Sandoval immediately reversed his vehicle in an attempt to flee. As the car was traveling in reverse, Sandoval exited the vehicle.

Sandoval failed to clear the path of the open driver’s side door and was struck by it, thus ending his attempt to escape from the pursuing officers. During further investigation, officers discovered the vehicle was an unreported stolen vehicle out of the city of Ventura, and it contained several items of stolen property.

As the investigation continued, officers were alerted to a van parked on a driveway next to where Sandoval was first observed. It was discovered that the van was stolen out of the city of Oxnard. A resident of the home, identified as Jorge Sarmiento, 41 years old was contacted. Officers on scene

familiar with Sarmiento were aware that he had warrants for his arrest. Sarmiento upon seeing the officers began to flee through his home and out the back but was quickly apprehended. Evidence at the scene connected Sarmiento to the stolen van.

Sandoval was charged with felony evading, vehicle theft, possession of stolen property (vehicle), possession of narcotic paraphernalia, possession of a prohibited weapon and for felony and misdemeanor warrants.

Sandoval was previously arrested for vehicle theft (twice), possession of burglary tools and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

Police charged him with possession of stolen property, possession of narcotic paraphernalia and resisting arrest. He has prior arrests for theft-related crimes.

In 2019, the Oxnard Police Department is doubling-down on its commitment to combat auto theft. The Oxnard Police Department cannot be alone in this crime prevention effort and need our community to join us in this endeavor.

Help protect yourself and

your vehicle from thieves by remembering to: Lock your vehicle and take out your valuables when leaving it. An unlocked car is an invitation to a thief.

Close all windows – thieves can open vehicles through the smallest of openings.

Do not leave your keys in your car, on or off. A large portion of auto theft is attributed to vehicles being left on and left alone.

A majority of cars stolen are from in front of the owner’s own home.

Do not leave your garage door opener in your vehicle. It can be stolen and used to return and enter your house.

The Oxnard Police Department cannot effectively stop auto theft without the assistance of concerned, responsible residents.

We depend on YOU to call and tell us whenever you see suspicious persons or activity.

Contact the Oxnard Police Department at 805-385-7740 or the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 and venturacountycrimestoppers. org to report suspicious or criminal activity. Translators are available 24/7.

On Jan. 13, 2019, at approximately 2:00 a.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department and emergency medical personnel responded to a traffic collision in the area of Pleasant Valley Road and Longfellow Way in the City of Oxnard. When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a white 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser was involved in a single vehicle traffic collision. The vehicle left the roadway and collided with a palm tree and a brick wall.

The driver, identified as Maximino Diaz, received minor injuries. The two male passengers received serious injuries and were transported to Ventura County Medical Center where they are in critical condition.

Based on the preliminary investigation, traffic investigators determined the Chrysler PT Cruiser was traveling westbound on Pleasant Valley Road at a high rate of speed when it lost control and left the roadway. The driver, Maximino Diaz, was found to be under the influence of alcohol. He was cooperative with officers and arrested after an investigation for driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury, a felony.

The collision is still under investigation. Anyone who has information regarding this collision is urged to contact Traffic Officer Alvaro Pulido at 805-3857750 or via email at alvaro. pulido@oxnardpd.org.

NEWS City prepares for changes in groundwater use

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The Oxnard City Council discussed its water future in detail during the Jan. 15 Oxnard City Council meeting as the group learned about how it may allocate groundwater over the next 20 years.

The group learned that it needs to make some adjustments and use less water moving forward, which will be a challenge.

Assistant City Attorney Khiri Klima made the presentation and said the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency’s (GMA) groundwater allocation ordinance would significantly affect the city’s groundwater pumping for the next 20 years.

“It is scheduled to be adopted on Jan. 23,” she said. “Staff has been involved with this for a few years, and we thought it was time for a public update because this will affect the city.”

Over half of the city’s potable water supply is groundwater, she said, and it pumps 20 percent of its groundwater from the Oxnard/ Pleasant Valley (OPV) subbasin management area. As the jurisdiction with the largest area, the city is the largest pumper.

“Due to state law, the amount of water that will be pumped over the next 20 years will need to be decreased by almost half,” Klima said. “The Oxnard basin currently pumps about 100,000 acre-feet a year by all the users collectively, and by 2040, we are going to need to go down collectively to about 60-65,000 acre-feet. As a result, all of the pumpers are in ongoing negotiation over the water allocations.”

If the city’s groundwater pumping allocation gets reduced, she said it will import water, which costs approximately two times more than pumping groundwater.

Consequently, costs are likely to increase over time because of the California Water Fix Project which is building two tunnels to transport water from the Sacramento San Joaquin River to Southern California which will cost that region $11 billion.

“Our groundwater allocation matters and will be more affordable,” she said. “Imported water may become unavailable in an emergency if a pipeline bursts or we have a local earthquake or there is a levee failure in the Bay area.”

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)was passed in 2014 and under that law, the California Department of Water

Assistant City Attorney Kiri Klima lays out the groundwater plan for the Fox Canyon Management Agency, which is scheduled to be completed later this year.

Resources (DWR) had to identify basins that were significantly over drafted, she said, with a high or medium priority. Those basins require a sustainability plan be in place by 2020, and according to the DWR, the Oxnard and Pleasant Valley Basins are a high priority and in states of critical overdraft.

“That means we have to get in place a groundwater sustainability plan one year from now,” she said.

“SGMA requires that plan to be in place by 2020.”

The basin has 20 years to develop a “sustainable yield” and have a maximum quantity of water that it can withdraw without an undesirable result, she said, and in the OPV Basin, a sustainable yield is currently 60 to 65 percent of its current use and all the users, not just Oxnard, are overpumping that basin.

“SGMA is intended for groundwater management, not determining groundwater rights, and our basins are not adjudicated,” Klima said. “What that means is that no judge has determined who has what water rights in these basins. That hasn’t been litigated yet.

However, the GSP (groundwater sustainability plan) is expected to restrict each producer’s ability to produce groundwater without paying an assessment. It’s going to increase costs for overpumping, and the GSP may impose pumping restrictions, so an entity that feels

it is overregulated by the GMA may opt to file for an adjudication, which may lead to a costly and lengthy legal battle.”

The Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency has five board members, and Klima said Councilman Bert Perello was selected recently as an alternate board member which she called great news.

“Since 1990, the GMA imposed a 25 percent pumping reduction on groundwater use on municipal and industrial pumpers,” she said.

“In 2014, the GMA implemented Emergency Ordinance E, which imposed another 20 percent reduction on municipal and industrial pumpers, which is still in effect, so we’ve already been regulated pretty significantly.”

She said the revised groundwater sustainability plan was due out in late Feb. 2019, but it’s been pushed back to late April and will be a massive document that will require many revisions.

“The final GSP is expected in July 2019, but it might be pushed back too,” she said. “Once the GMA board adopts this it has to be approved by the state.”

The GMA is developing a new allocation ordinance that will run concurrently with the GSP, she said, and it will inform each entity about how it needs to reduce pumping over time.

“The allocation ordinance is

scheduled to be adopted on Jan. 23, and under state law, the ordinance only requires one reading,” Klima said. “It’s intended to be effective immediately, and according to our meeting this afternoon, the GMA staff is going to recommend that it be effective at a later date, maybe over the summer or in Oct. and the allocation ordinance will split the pumpers between the agricultural and industrial pumpers.”

The city has pumping goals, she said, which includes the entire Oxnard and Pleasant Valley basin starts at 100,000 acre-feet per year, an accurate number, and each pumper will receive its share, but if the total allocation is too high, they are not tackling the problem.

“It also means there is going to be steeper cuts in the future,” she said.

The second goal is to preserve the 60/40 split, she said, which means whatever the starting point is, 60 percent will be allocated to the agricultural pumpers, and 40 percent will be allocated to the municipal and industrial pumpers.

“This ratio that has been negotiated for over two years and it's an amount we are comfortable with in terms of what the city will get and then each group will suballocate to the pumpers in that group,” she said.

This story will continue in the Jan. 25, edition of the Tri County Sentry.

Council honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Larita Montgomery tells the audience at the Oxnard City Council about the wonderful event the Martin Luther King Committee has prepared for Jan. 21.

Oxnard— The Oxnard City Council took a couple of minutes before its Jan. 15 meeting to approve a proclamation honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his mission of freedom, dignity, and opportunity for all races and people during his lifetime.

The proclamation designates Jan. 21, 2019 as Dr. Martin Luther King Day in the city and the council recognized Larita Montgomery and the members of the Martin Luther King Committee who were on hand for the meeting.

Montgomery said what affects one directly affects everyone indirectly.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” she said.

“We’re excited to bring you the 33rd Annual Martin Luther King Day celebration, and the event will

kick-off on Monday, Jan. 21, at 8 a.m. with a freedom march at Plaza Park. Mayor Tim Flynn will march with us. We will march to the Oxnard Performing Arts Center where we will have a wonderful presentation and program of songs, scriptures, speakers, youth speakers, a wonderful day, ended by a wonderful fellowship of refreshments and vendors.”

She invited the entire county to attend the celebration of Dr. King’s life.

“The tickets for the program are $7 Flynn said if you haven’t been to the ceremony, it is a memorable experience.

“It’s a way of renewing our faith in these ideals not only set forth by Dr. King but ideals of the nation,” he said.

Attendees at the meeting gave the committee a warm ovation before and after the presentation.

Redeemer continued from page 1

“It’s nice to play a part in the life of a congregation, and it’s a good powerful feeling,” he said. “Anniversaries remind us that however things seem right now, we have to take the long view. We know that God has got this, it’s not our church, it belongs to God, and we can trust that we need to trust our neighbors as best we can and the situation we are in gives us hope for the future.”

Pastor Nancy Switzler said the church is small and some have come as visitors and guests who used to attend Our Redeemer in the past.

“We are trying to be engaged in the mainstream of our community,” she said. “The preschool is a whole other thing, and it’s a great ministry.”

She said the service featured a founding member, Helen Jackson, and another member who arrived in the early 1950s.

“Everybody together sharing communion is special,” she said.

“We’re doing a fellowship once a month and next Sunday we are doing a tamale lunch.”

Dale Dean has been part of the Lutheran Church since he was a child and joined Our Redeemer 22 years ago.

“The most import part was Helen (Jackson) giving her speech and the seniors who gave their history,” Dean said. “I’ve listened to them during my time here, and it’s a wonderful experience. I listened to Eileen's (Olsen) husband, and one of the reasons they moved over here was because they are going here, and we should move closer.”

It’s the relationship with the members that make the church special for him, although he admitted it’s getting harder as the seniors depart.

“We haven’t found a way for young people to attach,” he said. “We have to think more about come to my house, sit down, play in the backyard and have a cup of coffee. It’s a thought.”

Jackson said she represents her husband Ronald “Rusty” who passed away and they are one of the original 16 members and the group was too young to know better than to start a church.

“We came from Minnesota to California, and both of us worked at Magu,” she said. “We didn’t have an automobile; we had to bum rides.

We lived in federal housing. Then the townies started coming, and there was a Minnesota missionary who wanted to start a church, he got Rusty’s name from the from the other Lutheran Church, so we were in the trap.”

Eileen Olson joined the church in 1953, and her husband was in the military, so they were gone for over nine years.

“I moved away two years ago,” she said. “I am still an associate member.”

She worked as the church secretary for 13 years and was always involved with the kids.

“Children are children,” she said.

“I taught Sunday school for a long time and loved it. I had six (children) of my own.”

She enjoyed the meal and said everything is tasty.

“There are many people I want to see, and I haven’t had time to visit with any of them,” she said. “That’s what is bothering me right now.”

Jaffa Castaneda-Carrera attended the event with his husband who used to participate in the church and returned for the celebration.

“This church is wonderful and a welcoming place,” he said. “There is a promise that things can last and withstand.”

Bob Hilger came down from Cordelaine, Idaho and said his most profound memory of Our Redeemer was when they built the playground from scratch.

“All the church members built it, we had help from the Seabees, and the ladies from the church fed us,” he said. “It was a cool thing as it took two weeks.”Hilger said the people who raised his kids come to mind as he returned to the church.

“They’re all grown now on the east coast and they have their own families,” he said.

OPED Trump Attorney General nominee Bill Barr: Swamp master or destroyer?

By Richard Manning As originally published at Foxnews.com.

Will Democrats find a way to obstruct his confirmation or will it be smooth sailing? GOP strategist Chris Turner weighs in.

The Senate Judiciary Committee opens its confirmation hearing Tuesday for former Attorney General William Barr to become attorney general again.

Is there no one eligible to become the next attorney general who doesn’t have a more than 25-year personal relationship with Special Counsel Robert Mueller?

Mueller is investigating whether President Trump or his associates conspired with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign to help Trump get elected. Barr, who is expected to win Senate confirmation to become attorney general in the Trump administration, would become Mueller’s supervisor if confirmed.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., revealed that Barr worked with Mueller when Barr previously served as attorney general from 1991 to 1993 under President George H.W. Bush. But on top of that, the two were “best friends” and their wives attended Bible study together.

This came as stunning news to many conservatives, who had hoped that Barr would rein in the out-ofcontrol special counsel.

When added to the knowledge that Mueller had attended the weddings of Barr’s children, it is clear that Barr’s relationship with the special counsel is extremely close.

I’m shaking my head in almost stunned disbelief. Was there no one in America who could have been appointed who isn’t Mueller’s BFF? There can be no doubt that William Barr is as qualified of a nominee as can be imagined, having already served in the capacity of attorney general in the past and being one of the most respected conservative attorneys in Washington over the past two decades.

The nominee even cautioned that Special Counsel Mueller should be very careful before constructing any obstruction charge against the president based on perceived motivations rather than defined acts, because the charge itself could lead to other unintended consequences that would undermine the administration of justice.

Hopefully, President Trump has found the honest man who not only can shine a light on the corruption within the Justice Department but also has the guts and the legal gravitas to do something about it, becoming the swamp’s worse nightmare.

Barr wrote this as someone who had held not only the role of attorney general, but also deputy attorney general – the same job that is currently held by the Rod Rosenstein, who is reviled by many conservatives. Barr also served as the head of the Office of Legal Counsel, which writes official opinions for the Justice Department.

With that background and perspective, Barr could be a brilliant

choice to run the Justice Department.

With public confidence in the Justice Department and FBI at the bottom of the barrel, Barr’s intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the department would allow him to begin the cleanup that is desperately needed.

Another important point in Barr’s favor is that his tenure as attorney general was marked by an emphasis on breaking a cycle of gang violence that was beginning to take hold in the nation. That experience will prepare him for the challenges facing the country due to the encroachment of the MS-13 gang into our cities, violently competing with existing illegal drug distribution networks.

In the private sector, Barr worked for GTE, which became Verizon, until his retirement in 2008. He then became a board member of Time Warner Corporation.

Barr’s tenure at Time Warner included deep involvement in the legal wrangling between the company and the Justice Department over its still-contested merger with

AT&T. The former attorney general has rightfully recused himself from considerations related to the problematic consolidation of media power that the AT&T-Time Warner merger represents.

Normally in politics, situations are pretty cut and dried. Nominee A is a conservative or nominated by a Republican president, so conservative and limited government groups line up to support him or her.

But as is seemingly increasingly true about virtually everything, the William Barr nomination is not so easy.

A friend of Mueller will be responsible for overseeing the Mueller investigation – an investigation marred by partisanship and prosecutorial abuses from the outset, designed to take down President Trump.

Mueller knowingly used Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants derived from Democratic research that was called by the then-FBI Director “salacious and unverified” as the pretext for much of its Russia probe.

And the Justice Department was so committed to a partisan mission that officials deliberately turned a blind eye to very real concerns about the relationship of both former President Bill Clinton and his Secretary of State wife with both Russia and Hillary Clinton’s apparent violations of laws related to handling classified documents.

As attorney general, will Barr excuse his old friend Mueller and former Justice Department colleagues, giving them a pass as just conducting business as usual?

Or hopefully, President Trump has found the honest man who not only can shine a light on the corruption within the Justice Department but also has the guts and the legal gravitas to do something about it, becoming the swamp’s worse nightmare.

Swamp master or destroyer? The Senate will have to confirm William Barr to find out which attorney general we are getting.

Rick Manning is the President of Americans for Limited Government.

OPED Remembering Lucy Durr Hackney

By Marian Wright Edelman When Lucy Durr married Sheldon Hackney in 1957, the custom alterations to her beautiful gown were done for her by a family friend— Mrs. Rosa Parks. This wonderful detail opens a small window into my dear friend and former Children’s Defense Fund board and volunteer staff member Lucy Durr Hackney’s extraordinary life. Lucy, who passed away last October at age 81, was the daughter of civil rights activists Virginia and Clifford Durr and niece of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black. She followed her family’s staunch commitment to social justice and led a selfless life of loving service and support to family, friends, just causes, community and nation.

By the time Lucy got married her parents were well known for their work with progressive causes and local support of civil rights activists and leaders in Montgomery, Alabama. Clifford Durr was an attorney who had worked in President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration and defended citizens accused of communism during the McCarthy era. Virginia Durr was friends with Eleanor Roosevelt and one of the founding members of the Southern Conference for Human Welfare (SCHW), an interracial group working to reduce segregation and improve living conditions in the South. Virginia Durr and Mrs. Parks were part of an interracial women’s group in Montgomery and Mrs. Durr had helped arrange a scholarship for Mrs. Parks to attend Highlander Folk School for training in nonviolent action in the summer of 1955. When Mrs. Parks was arrested four months later, Clifford Durr helped bail her out of jail and Virginia Durr drove her home. During the tumultuous months that followed, Clifford Durr was one of Mrs. Parks’s attorneys and Virginia Durr strongly supported the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the network of White women who helped drive Black women to work who stayed away from riding the buses.

Lucy left the segregated South for Radcliffe College in Massachusetts

What a joy and privilege it was to know and work with her over the decades. She was beautiful inside and out and brought light wherever she went.

Courtesy Jaxon White Vineyard Gazette but returned to Alabama to marry Sheldon, another Alabama native who shared the same commitment to civil rights and social justice. Their marvelous partnership lasted the rest of their lives. As Sheldon, a Southern historian, went on to become a university leader, Lucy continued her education while raising their three children—completing her undergraduate degree at Princeton University where Sheldon served as provost and earning her law degree at Tulane University while Sheldon served as president. She rose early and went to bed late to get her multiple responsibilities done.

When Sheldon became President of the University of Pennsylvania, Lucy began working as a staff attorney at the Juvenile Law Center where her family notes she was “tenacious” in her work on behalf

of children’s health, welfare, and justice programs, and founded Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, a nonprofit advocacy group dedicated to improving the health, well-being and education of Pennsylvania children that helped 100,000 previously uninsured young people in Pennsylvania receive health coverage. Lucy and Sheldon’s oldest daughter Virginia suffered a brain injury at birth which fed Lucy’s passion for helping children, especially those with disabilities and other special needs, and making sure all children got the education and support they needed to transition to successful adult lives. She called Virginia her “muse,” and Virginia, son Fain, daughter Elizabeth, and eventually Lucy’s beloved grandchildren were her inspiration in all she did as a fierce child advocate.

Lucy was a board member at the Children’s Defense Fund alongside Hillary Rodham Clinton as well as serving as a volunteer CDF staff member when she spent several years in Washington, D.C. when Sheldon served as Chairman for the National Endowment for the Humanities in the Clinton administration. What a joy and privilege it was to know and work with her over the decades.

She was beautiful inside and out and brought light wherever she went. Her family writes: “Lucy was the rock of her immediate and extended family.

She was vibrant and full of energy. She was unrelentingly optimistic. ‘There will be no woe is me!’ was a favorite saying. She offered a smile and a greeting to all those she encountered.

She was an amazing mother and grandmother. She could be counted on 100% by her family whenever she

was needed. She would defend any family member even when they were wrong. Unconditional love is hard to find—and she gave it to her family in full measure.” Lucy Durr Hackney continued her parents’ legacy to its fullest throughout her committed life of service and child advocacy.

We are all beneficiaries—especially children—and I feel so lucky she was my friend.

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.

Award-winning actress Regina King speaks her mind about sleeper hit ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ Written by Stacy M. Brown At 7 p.m. Central time last Wednesday, I was in full-listen mode as King – fresh from her Golden-Globe winning evening – talked about her role in “If Beale Street Could Talk” with more than a thousand faith leaders, community activists, sororities and fraternities and African-American news outlets on the line.

Regina King makes it easy to say “yes” to an assignment editor’s request for a reporter to join in on a national conference call and listen to an actress talk about her role in a movie.

I had already sounded the “y” in my “yes” before the sentence conveying the opportunity was complete.

At 7 p.m. Central time last Wednesday, I was in full-listen mode as King – fresh from her Golden-Globe winning evening – talked about her role in “If Beale Street Could Talk” with more than a thousand faith leaders, community activists, sororities and fraternities and African-American news outlets on the line.

She was candid from the jump.

“James Baldwin’s book with the same title is a powerful meditation on love,” King said. “It talks about what love really is. Baldwin gives literary voice to the blues. This movie is important because we actually see ourselves on the screen.

It is important to tell our stories, to keep telling our stories.”

One key story King is telling is this: Go the see the movie; help get the word out! Let people know that there is a powerful film out about a “black family in the early ‘70s” and how they manage to get through the challenges of life in a world of institutions that are systemically and historically racist. It resonates with themes of family, love and justice.

“Beale Street” made its American debut on December 14 in – get this – just four theatres. That’s right, four. All four, however, were overrun with sold-out audiences, lines wrapped around the block, people seeing it for the first time, fans coming to watch for the fifth time.

It’s the little movie that could.

“No one in Hollywood can say that there is no audience for movies like this that tells our stories,” said King. “We want to see ourselves.

We want to see our stories. Our children want to see their stories.

My son told me it was the first time he had seen himself on the screen.”

Hundreds of Facebook posts, tweets on Twitter and other social media messages lit up cyberspace during the call as people livestreamed King’s interview and reported that they had already seen “Beale Street” multiple times.

King portrays Sharon Rivers, Ernestine and Tish’s mother and Joseph’s wife. The facts of her own journey suggests that King has been preparing for the role all of her life.

“I am a mother, and I have an

amazing mother and grandmother who pushed my sister and I to dream big,” she said. “They understood the spirit that was in us at an early age.”

Director Barry Jenkins adapted a screenplay from Baldwin’s book and then set course for a movie on the big screen. Produced by Plan B Entertainment, the film made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2018.

King racked up a Golden Globe award as “The Best Supporting Actress.” In her acceptance, she thanked Jenkins for telling the poignant story. She vowed as a producer and director, herself, to make sure all her future projects involve at least 50 percent women.

The tone for the movie was set at

the top, King said on the call.

“Barry from the very beginning created a loving and trusting environment. From that day when the cast first met, we fell into our roles. It was like our roles chose us.

“And shooting that scene around Beale Street, when we took breaks, we didn’t go back to our rooms. We went upstairs in the brownstone and just talked and shared our stories.

You will see real relationship in our performances.”

Sharon and Joseph Rivers create a loving, nurturing household, King said.

“You see the love on screen between a black father and his daughter. We see a young man who so gently and tenderly loves this young woman. The take-away is that throughout the years, we are reminded that it has been our love for one another that has gotten us through.”

April Reign, the activist who started “#OscarsSoWhite,” also praised the film on the 45-minute conference call.

“This movie is fierce, tender and unapologetically black,” said Reign. “It is a portrait of every strong mother we have known. Let’s encourage everyone to go and see ‘Beale Street.’

“But once you see it, you’ll come running back for more. Get lost in the magic that is James Baldwin brought to life by Barry Jenkins.”

For those on the conference call, the resolve was this: “Let’s build a movement around ‘Beale Street.’”

Oxnard— The Oxnard City Council approved a resolution for David J. Harper and Yvonne Harper for the couple's many years of service to the city, Jan. 15.

Flynn said, and he provided outstanding service to the city. Sofia also spent 37 years working at the Oxnard Public Library and provided excellent customer service.

City Librarian Sofia Kimsey spoke about the great work that Yvonne provided to the

last 30 years.

“This is emotional because we have been not just working together, but friends for so long,” she said. “When she told me that she was retiring I thought yea right, that will never happen. You’ve been here 30-something years, and

you’re never going away. You are the library, and you are a great representative of the City of Oxnard.”

Kimsey called Yvonne a person of integrity and character, who is generous with her time, fiercely loyal and compassionate.

“She sees the best in everyone and inspires others to be their best,” Kimsey said.

“She’s optimistic, honest and reliable, and an exemplary employee. The City of Oxnard has been honored to have her.”

Paul Wendt worked with David for 30 years and said he led the Development Service Inspection Team for 20 years.

part of the city that people don’t think about unless it doesn’t work,” he said. David did that work with a lot of integrity, and he was the guy I went to get answers from because he knew how it worked in the field.”

Some of the projects David worked on were the northeast industrial area, the east and west villages, Victoria Estates, Centennial Plaza, Seabridge, Oxnard Village, The Collection and the entire River Park Development.

David knows where a lot of things in the city are buried,” Wendt said. “I am going to miss that institutional knowledge that leaves when he leaves.”

company. We want the end of for-profit affordable housing, and instead, we want large scale expansion of affordable public housing, rent control and protection from evictions for tenants.”

Councilman Bert Perello said he had no idea about the allegations, but said in one instance, it sounded like the city got “snookered” and he asked City Attorney Stephen Fischer if they can look into the matter and remedy the problem.

Shannon Lopez said she represented the Democratic Socialists of Ventura County

and Educators Doing Justice, who both stand with the Seabreeze Tenants Union and is concerned about affordable housing in Oxnard and the Seabreeze property.

“I believe the Oxnard City Council should be putting people over profit and hold MRK Partners and Seabreeze Ventures accountable for not fulfilling their commitments to the council,” she said. “I am concerned they are retaliating against those in the Seabreeze Tenants Union by not repairing units or re-certifying tenants’ low-income status and not renewing leases.”

Grandma Maria Fletcher was making a unicorn and said the adults in the room are

having just as much fun as the kids.

“She (her granddaughter Rayla LaForce) asked me to make a rainbow for her,” she said.

Rayla said it’s been raining a lot, so she wanted to make the sun.

“I like the sun,” she said.

“We’re going to cut it in a triangle (the unicorn), and it will turn into a horn.”

Fletcher said it was their first trip to the library and she likes all the fun activities for the children at the venue.

“We’re having a good time,” she said. “Rayla loves unicorns.”

Mom Adrian Oros said the event is an excellent activity for Rayla.

“I’ve been trying to find things for her to do and this is a good thing,” she said.

Monica, who did not give her last name, thanked the attendees that came to support the Seabreeze Tenants Union and said she has been organizing with the group for approximately two years.

“We also want you to cease current business deals with companies who do these kind of frauds,” she said. “We want an immediate end to all the discriminatory and retaliatory practices the tenants have been experiencing. For example, in the process of qualifying for low-income housing, there was a lot of retaliation from the

by ELIZABETH J LEWIS, TRUSTEE OF THE ELIZABETH J LEWIS LIVING TRUST, DATED FEBRUARY 16, 2006 as trustor in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. as beneficiary, and was recorded on 4/28/2006, as Instrument No. 20060428-0091737, in the Office of the Recorder of Ventura County, California; and WHEREAS, the beneficial interest in the Mortgage Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment dated 4/23/2013, recorded on 5/8/2013, as instrument number 20130508-00083458-0, in the office of Ventura County, California; and WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Deed of Trust in that the payment due upon the death of the borrower(s) was not made and remains wholly unpaid as of the date of this notice, and no payment has been made sufficient to restore the loan to currency; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent as of 12/18/2018 is $419,753.80; and WHEREAS, the Mortgage Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family house; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me 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 me as Foreclosure Commissioner, SEE ATTACHED, notice is hereby given that on 1/30/2019 at 11:00 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises ("Property") will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Legal Description: LOT 100, WALNUT ACRES SUBDIVISION, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 22, PAGE 79, OF MAPS IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY. Commonly known as: 411 ESTHER AVENUE, MOORPARK, CA 93021 The sale will be held at: AT THE MAIN FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER HALL OF JUSTICE LOCATED AT 800 S. VICTORIA AVE., VENTURA, CA 93003 Per the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the estimated opening bid will be $425,591.03. 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, 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 accor-

dance 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.

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: $842,665.04 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.

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 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 916939-0772 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-18-838852BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

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.

Experimental app might spot drug overdoses in time to help

By Lauran Neergaard

Influenza activity is increasing throughout California IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO GET VACCINATED

By Staff Reports SACRAMENTO–The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced that influenza activity is increasing throughout California. Health officials encourage Californians to get vaccinated.

“It is important to get vaccinated now if you have not done so already,” said CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith. “I encourage everyone six months of age and older to be vaccinated to help protect themselves and others from the dangers of flu.”

Flu activity is occurring throughout every region of the state and above expected levels for this time of year.

Although the severity of the flu season cannot yet be determined, Californians should take precautions,

including vaccination.

“Flu activity usually reaches its peak January and February, but typically continues to spread through the spring,” said Dr. Smith.

“With most of the flu season still to come, it’s not too late to get vaccinated.”

Each year, the flu causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands or sometimes tens of thousands of deaths in the United States.

Common symptoms of the flu include fever or feeling feverish, a cough and/or sore

throat, a runny or stuffy nose, chills, fatigue and body aches.

Children may also have nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

To stop the spread of flu and other respiratory illnesses, CDPH recommends these steps: • Stay home when sick.

• Cover a cough or sneeze with an elbow or tissue and throw the tissue in the trash.

• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Health isn't 1st priority for energy regulators, court rules

By Dan Elliott DENVER (AP)—The Colorado Supreme Court said Monday that state law does not allow oil and gas regulators to make health and environmental protection their top priority, prompting Democrats who control the Legislature to call for changing the law.

In a victory for the energy industry, the court said Colorado law requires regulators to “foster” oil and gas production while protecting health and the environment.

But the justices said regulators must take into account whether those protections are cost-effective and technically feasible.

The unanimous ruling was an endorsement of the way the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission operates. It was the latest in a series of wins for the industry, both in the courts and at the ballot box, against opponents who say the state is too lenient with energy companies.

But Democrats now control both houses of the Legislature as well as the governorship, and they appear ready to

embrace tougher restrictions.

House Speaker KC Becker said Monday that she is already working on a measure for the Legislature, which started work on Jan. 4.

“How do we make health and safety an earlier consideration or a more prominent consideration in siting and permitting?” she said. “This is really what we're hearing in the community.”

Colorado's new governor, liberal Democrat Jared Polis, also said change is in the works.

“It only highlights the need to work with the Legislature and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to more safely develop our state's natural resources and protect our citizens from harm,” Polis said in a statement.

Oil and gas drilling has long been contentious in Colorado, which ranks fifth nationally in crude oil production and sixth in natural gas, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The Wattenberg oil and gas field—the most productive field in Colorado and one of the top 10 nationally—overlaps fastgrowing communities north of Denver, triggering frequent

disputes over the proximity of wells to neighborhoods. In 2017, two people were killed in a home explosion and fire blamed on a severed pipeline from a nearby gas well.

Monday's ruling came in a lawsuit filed by six young people who argued state law requires regulators to ensure energy development does not harm people's health or the environment. They asked the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2013 to require those protections before issuing any drilling permits.

The commission refused, saying the law required it to balance health and environmental concerns with other factors. Those include the rights of energy companies and the people who own the oil and gas reserves as well as a mandate from lawmakers to foster drilling.

The Supreme Court said the law was ambiguous and that either interpretation could be correct. But the justices said statements by lawmakers who wrote the oil and gas law made it clear that regulators could not put safety and the environment first.

The law “envisions some possible environmental and public health risks,” the ruling said.

Industry officials said Colorado already has the strictest oil and gas rules in the country and making them tougher would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and cut off tax revenue that supports schools and basic services.

“Those who filed this lawsuit have said they want to ban oil and natural gas development in Colorado, so we're happy to see the Supreme Court strike down this extreme effort and shortsighted agenda,” said Dan Haley, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association.

The lawsuit is one of several nationwide in which young activists argue state and federal governments are threatening their futures by not doing enough to battle climate change and protect the environment.

The activists will keep fighting despite the Colorado ruling, said one of their lawyers, Julia Olson, who also represents young clients in a climate change lawsuit in federal court in Oregon.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Too often people die of an opioid overdose because no one's around to notice they're in trouble. Now scientists are creating a smartphone app that beams sound waves to measure breathing—and summon help if it stops.

The app is still experimental. But in a novel test, the “Second Chance” app detected early signs of overdose in the critical minutes after people injected heroin or other illegal drugs, researchers reported Wednesday.

One question is whether most drug users would pull out their phone and switch on an app before shooting up.

The University of Washington research team contends it could offer a much-needed tool for people who haven't yet found addiction treatment.

“They're not trying to kill themselves—they're addicted to these drugs. They have an incentive to be safe,” said Shyamnath Gollakota, an engineering and computer science associate professor whose lab turns regular cellphones into temporary sonar devices.

But an emergency room physician who regularly cares for overdose patients wonders how many people really would try such a device.

“This is an innovative way to attack the problem,” said Dr. Zachary Dezman of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, who wasn't involved in the research.

Still, “I don't know if many folks who use substances are going to have the forethought to prepare,” he added.

More than 47,000 people in the U.S. died of opioid overdoses in 2017. The drugs suppress breathing but a medicine called naloxone often can save victims—if it reaches them in time. Usually, that means someone has to witness the collapse. Dr. Jacob Sunshine, a University of Washington anesthesiologist, notes that people have died with a relative in the next room I don't know if unaware they were in trouble. many folks who The research team settled use substances on cellphones as potential overdose monitors because are going to have just about everyone owns the forethought one. They designed an app that measures how to prepare. someone's chest rises and falls to see if they're slipping Dr. Zachary into the slow, shallow Dezman, University breaths of an overdose or of Maryland School stop breathing completely.

How? The software of Medicine converts the phone's builtin speaker and microphone to send out inaudible sound waves and record how they bounce back. Analyzing the signals shows specific breathing patterns.

It won't work inside a pocket, and people would have to stay within 3 feet. The researchers are in the process of making the app capable of dialing for help if a possible overdose is detected.

They put the experimental gadget to the test at North America's first supervised injection site in Vancouver, British Columbia, where people are allowed to bring in illegal drugs and inject themselves under medical supervision in case of overdose. Study participants agreed to have doctoral student Rajalakshmi Nandakumar place the app-running cellphone nearby during their regularly monitored visit.

The software correctly identified breathing problems that could signal an overdose—seven or fewer breaths a minute, or pauses in breathing—90 percent of the time, the researchers found. Most were near-misses; two of the 94 study participants had to be resuscitated.

For a bigger test, the researchers next turned to people who don't abuse drugs but were about to receive anesthesia for elective surgery. Rendering someone unconscious for an operation mimics how an overdose shuts down breathing.

Measuring 30 seconds of slowed or absent breathing as those patients went under, the app correctly predicted 19 of 20 simulated overdoses, the researchers reported. The one missed case was a patient breathing slightly faster than the app's cutoff.

The findings were reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The researchers have patented the invention and plan to seek Food and Drug Administration approval.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 2019

New documentary alleges Michael Jackson was child predator

By Stacy M. Brown First R. Kelly. Now it’s the late King of Pop. After the scathing and gutwrenching Lifetime Television documentary, “Surviving R. Kelly,” shed more light on the alleged crimes of the R&B crooner, a new film about Michael Jackson threatens to do the same to the late “Thriller” singer.

The Wrap reports that the 2019 Sundance Film Festival has added a documentary that will focus on two men: (presumably) choreographer Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who say they were sexually abused

by Michael Jackson.

Following Jackson’s death in 2009, Robson, who has worked with Brittney Spears, NYSNC* and others filed a lawsuit against the “Thriller” singer’s estate claiming that handlers of the superstar essentially helped run a child-sex ring.

Robson claimed in a lawsuit, that was later tossed because a California judge said he waited too late to file, that Jackson raped him.

Safechuck, who at 7-years-old was befriended by Jackson and traveled extensively with the singer, also sued Jackson’s estate.

While neither Robson nor Safechuck previously made complaints, Robson testified in Jackson’s defense at the singer’s 2005 trial which resulted in an acquittal for Jackson who was charged with 13 counts of molesting a teen cancer patient.

Jackson had always maintained his innocence.

However, many have argued that Jackson admittedly settled at least three multimillion claims made by prepubescent boys and their families.

A sheriff ’s deputy at his 2005 trial claimed that, when factoring in settlement cash, attorney’s fees, private investigator costs and other fees, Jackson spent more than $200 million to quiet abuse allegations.

The synopsis for the Jackson documentary titled, “Leaving Neverland,” says: “At the height of his stardom, Michael Jackson began long-running relationships with

Judge who issued a warrant in July, citing “terroristic threats and acts.”

As for Jackson, the late hitmaker often publicly said he simply enjoyed the company of children because of their innocence. “I’d slit my wrist before I’d hurt a child,” Jackson once said in a broadcast interview.

His defenders have always pointed out that Jackson’s accusers were after money or fame themselves and could not be trusted.

It was that theme that helped attorney Tom Mesereau successfully defend Jackson in his 2005 case

At the height of his stardom, Michael Jackson began longrunning relationships with two boys, aged 7 and 10, and their families.

“Leaving Netherland” synopsis.

two boys, aged 7 and 10, and their families. Now in their 30s, they tell the story of how they were sexually abused by Jackson, and how they came to terms with it years later.”

The report notes that the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have resulted in some of Hollywood’s biggest names being outed as predators, abusers or simply having

a history of inappropriate behavior.

The fallout from “Surviving R. Kelly” continues with numerous celebrities joining the chorus of millions on social media and other platforms who’ve called for Kelly’s arrest.

A Georgia prosecutor is reportedly looking into potential charges and, in Kelly’s hometown

of Chicago, a district attorney has publicly called on “victims” to come forward.

CNN reported on Wednesday, that R. Kelly’s former manager, James Mason, has been accused of threatening to kill the father of Jocelyn Savage, one of the women featured in the documentary. The case was presented to a Magistrate

in California. Mesereau famously referred to the accuser and his family as “grifters,” looking for a handout.

No one in the Jackson camp returned messages on Wednesday.

It should be noted that the accuser in that case has always maintained he was molested and, despite financial hardships, his family never attempted to sue Jackson.

The accuser went on to graduate college and get married.

Ironically, Robson who defended Jackson in 2005, said it was only after he had gotten married and had a child of his own that he began to come to terms with what Jackson had done to him years earlier.

“I have never forgotten one moment of what Michael did to me,” Robson told the Today Show in 2013. “But, I was psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse.”

To ovations, Hamilton's star reprises role in Puerto Rico

By Danica Coto SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP)— Lin-Manuel Miranda reprised his lead role in the hit musical “Hamilton” to start a two-week run in Puerto Rico expected to raise millions of dollars for artists and cultural groups struggling in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

The audience giggled, hooted, clapped and tapped their feet throughout Friday's night's performance as Miranda took the stage for the first time since his last appearance in the Broadway version in July 2016, when he played the role of U.S. founding father Alexander Hamilton.

“I have never felt anything like that,” he said of the crowd's energy, adding that singing the song “Hurricane” was a challenge. “It was very hard to sing that here in Puerto Rico because you know better than I what it is to survive a hurricane. I feel like I'm going back to Maria a little bit every time I sing it.”

After the two-hour show, Miranda spoke with reporters, who peppered him with questions including how the White House was exploring diverting money for border wall construction from a range of accounts, including using some of the $13.9 billion allocated to the Army Corps of Engineers after last year's deadly hurricanes and floods.

“I think that's absolutely monstrous,” Miranda said as he apologized that he didn't have

further comment. “It's the first time I'm hearing that. I've been a little busy.”

It's the first time in nine years that Miranda has performed in Puerto Rico. Opening night drew more than 1,000 people who bought tickets ranging from $10 to $5,000.

Among the attendees was Ron Chernow, the Pulitzer Prize winner whose biography of Alexander Hamilton inspired the musical.

He told The Associated Press that it was the most extraordinary Miranda performance he has seen.

“There was an extra passion and pain and sadness and beauty that he brought to his character,” Chernow said. “This was no ordinary performance tonight.”

The crowd gave Miranda a standing ovation before the show even started, and during the curtain call he wiped away tears and wrapped himself in a large Puerto Rican flag as he briefly addressed the crowd in Spanish and English.

During the show's intermission, accountant Zoraida Alvira sat absorbed as she read the three-page synopsis since she struggles a bit with English. It was the first time she had seen a musical and was transfixed.

“Here in Puerto Rico we are not too exposed to theater, let alone musicals,” she said as she praised the performance. “I didn't move, and I'm a fidgety person.”

Alvira, like several other Puerto Ricans who attended opening night, snapped up her ticket thanks to a lottery launched by “Hamilton”

organizers who are selling 275 tickets for every performance at $10 each. Others in the audience on Friday included musician Questlove and TV producer Shonda Rhimes.

Among those expected to attend the show in upcoming days are several federal lawmakers visiting the U.S. territory for the weekend to learn more about reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Maria, which caused more than $100 billion in damage when it hit on Sept. 20,

2017.

Even people who didn't have tickets showed up at the venue.

“This is a very important moment for Puerto Rico right now,” said Vivian Rodriguez, a student who lives in Puerto Rico but is from New York. She noted that Friday is Hamilton's birthday, and she said Puerto Rico has suffered from what she described as its “colonial” status.

“Hamilton” was initially going to be staged at the University of Puerto

Rico from Jan. 8 to 27, but producers announced in December that it was moving to the Centro de Bellas Artes Luis A. Ferre following the threat of protests by university employees upset over enrollment changes at the island's largest public university.

The change forced some people on the U.S. mainland to forego their Hamilton tickets because they were unable or could not afford to change their airline tickets to accommodate the show's new dates. Others were upset when they did not hear back from the agency responsible for reassigning new dates for previously purchased tickets.

“It has been such a nightmare for me,” said Myla Ruiz, who lives in the northern coastal town of Toa Baja and had gotten tickets for the original opening night.

Her husband is now unable to go because he will be on a work trip, and then she struggled to get a response from the agency selling the tickets.

She is now reluctantly attending the show's last night.

“I'm originally from New York, so I'm a huge fan of Broadway,” she said. “This to me is huge. There's nothing like Broadway here. When they said this was coming, it's all I've been talking about.”

The show also drew the attention of Jimmy Fallon, whose “Tonight Show” will air its Jan. 15 episode from Puerto Rico with Miranda and the new touring cast.

Miranda, composer and creator of “Hamilton,” won a Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize for the musical.
