“We are survivors” RELAY FOR LIFE INSPIRES HOPE

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard--- It was an inspirational morning at Oxnard High School, June 22, as a large crowd came out to show support for the 23rd Annual Relay for Life.

T h e organiza­ tion has “Hop e Lod­ g e s ,” and if t re at ment is far away, fami­ lies have a

Event Lead Kim Gilson said she is proud of the community for the effort.

“We support a lot of funding programs as far as funding research with Community Memorial with UCLA and Saint John’s Dignity,” she said. “All our money raised gets dispersed with anything to do with finding a cure for cancer.”

Gilson said her involvement started with a bad day at work.

“I knew this was going on over here, and I came out to check it out, and it tugged on my heartstrings,” she said. “I hung out, watched, and walked around, and within a couple of years after that, I was a co-captain, then I

became a team captain.”

She has been a participant onand-off and has been involved with the relay for 15 years.

“For the last six years, I have been on the event leadership team,” she said. “We’re all volunteers setting this all up, and I have been a proud event lead.”

The Relay for Life is a top 20 Heritage Event, she said, which means the walk goes for 24 hours, which symbolizes a day in the life of a cancer patient.

“The goal is for all the teams on the track to have one person from their team on the track at all times walking,” Gilson said.

The group is out to fight cancer, but she said it is also fun.

Finance and governance committee approves loan payment to the water fund

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Oxnard City Council's Finance and Governance Committee endorsed paying $159,349 from the golf course operating fund for the fiscal year 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 to make regularly scheduled payments on the 2013 loan from the water fund.

Chief Financial Officer Kevin Riper said the appropriation was not included in the 2018-2019 budget and wasn't included 20192020 budget approved last week.

"The thought was a year ago that sufficient golf course development fees would have accumulated to pay off the entire loan from 2013 that the water fund made to the golf fund," he said. "But now, with all the public comments and all the concern from the council and operating needs under a new agreement for the golf course

golf course development fees, for repairs, maintenance or anything else that might be needed, and not

prepay the entire loan from the golf fund back to the water fund, but only pay the regularly scheduled debt service payment."

Committee Member Gabriela Basua asked Riper if the $159,000 was not budgeted for the upcoming fiscal year and Riper confirmed that fact.

"The more familiar I am becoming with how the city is doing its finances, and how the city is doing its budget, the more concerned I get," Basua said. "What would be your recommendation be as far as having everything on the budget, even if we are not going to use it?"

Riper replied and said he couldn't speak for the 2018-2019 budget but could address the 20192020 budget, and the assumption was there would be no need for principal and interest during 20192020. n Water fund, see page 6

SurfcatCafe garage sale benefits the furry felines

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— It was a shopping extravaganza for a great cause June 22, as SurfcatCafe & Adoptions hosted a garage sale benefitting the organization.

The sale featured great cat-themed treasures and keepsakes, along with SurfcatCafe T-shirts and other collectibles.

Surfcat Cafe & Adoptions is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing compassionate care and community connections for cats in need of forever homes.

Former Treasurer Joy Connell came out to help with current Treasurer Shana Mullin, whose parents offered their home for the garage sale. They hope to reach an eventual goal of having a cat adoption center in the Ventura area.

"Surfcat has had a couple of garage sales at its headquarters off of Harbor Drive, and we have participated at local street fair events, like Ojai Days and the EcoFest held at the park," she said. "We participated at CatCon in Los Angeles a few years ago, as well, to raise people's awareness about Surfcat and how cats need to be adopted and rescued from the shelters and keep it as a no-kill zone in the CamarilloVentura County Animal Shelter."

Mullin brought the treasures over to the garage sale, Connell said, and n Water fund, see page 6 n Populations, see page 2

NEWS 14-year-old street gang member arrested Samuel Sapiens

(Courtesy photo)

Samuel Sapiens arrested Oxnard-- On June 20, 2019, at approx. 9:24 A.M., patrol officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the 1400 block of South Victoria Avenue after they received numerous calls about shots fired in the residential neighborhood. As officers were knocking on the front door of an apartment in an attempt to investigate where the shots were coming from, a 21-year-old resident, later identified as Samuel Sapiens, began firing out his apartment window. The gunfire struck and shattered the front window of an Oxnard Police unit parked at the scene. While officers were setting up the perimeter, they learned that the suspect had access to an assault rifle.

Further investigation determined that Sapiens had fired several rounds prior to officers arriving which struck an apartment complex across the street on Leeward Avenue, penetrating the exterior and interior walls. An 18-year-old female was home at the time and was unharmed.

The Oxnard Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team responded along with the Crisis Negotiations Unit (CNT). During the standoff, CNT contacted Sapiens by telephone.

The negotiators spoke with Sapiens for approximately forty-five (45) minutes and were able to convince the suspect to surrender peacefully.

There were no injuries during this incident.

Officers recovered numerous firearms from the residence registered to the brother of Samuel Sapiens.

Samuel Sapiens was booked for 245(d)(1) P.C. Assaults on a Police Officer with a Firearm and 246 P.C. Shooting at an Inhabited Dwelling.

During the incident, residents in the area who were registered with the V.C. Alert Emergency Notification System received a notification to shelter in place. They were advised to stay inside and close all doors and windows until the situation was resolved. The V.C. Alert system delivers time-sensitive emergency alerts to residents when there is a threat to health and safety.

Oxnard-- On June 23, at 9 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department Special Enforcement Unit (gang unit) were in the area of the 200 block of Cuesta Del Mar referencing recent gang activity. As officers attempted to contact a group of suspected gang members in the south alley, they began to flee from the officers.

O

NE of the subjects, a 14-year-old Oxnard resident and documented criminal street gang member with several previous firearms-related arrests, was seen placing a firearm on the tire of a vehicle parked along

the side of Cuesta Del Mar. The firearm, a loaded semiautomatic .25 caliber handgun, was recovered at the scene, and it was found that the serial number and all markings removed. The 14-yearold was arrested and charged with numerous firearms violations.

The 14-year-old involved in this incident was previously arrested for an assault with a firearm upon another person, and under Senate Bill 439 all of the charges were dismissed. Under Senate Bill 439, juveniles 12-years and under cannot be charged with criminal offenses other than murder, rape, and serious sexual crimes.

they were stored at the group's headquarters. She set the event up at Mullin's house.

"She, her dad, and her mom helped set it up this morning with another member, named Debbie McKenzie, who is the vice president of fundraising," Connell said about Mullin.

Connell smiled and said she had to explain to her cat that he couldn't come to the garage sale.

"My cat likes to add zeros to our numbers for the financial statements," she said. "One time, we had $10 million in revenue because he decided to stand on the zero, and it kept repeating. I was like what the heck, Lance?"

She is overwhelmed by the support Surfcat receives and the supporters who came out to make purchases.

"It's absolutely wonderful to see all the people here supporting

One item that Connell couldn't resist is a salt and pepper shaker set that her sister will receive.

"It's little kitty cats," she said.

Mullin was wearing her "Kitties in Space" T-Shirt at the sale and said after looking for a cat organization;

she discovered that Surfcat suited her well.

"I love their cause, and I have been with them since April 2016," she said. "I donated a few things to the garage sale, but my neighbor, she's been instrumental in finding trinkets to donate. We've been

doing well with them at this garage sale."

Former President Roxanne Vettese created the Surfcat logo, and Connell said she loves to draw.

"There was a different logo with two more colors, but it was too hard to reproduce it," Connell said.

One of the most prominent displays at the garage sale was pictures of adoptable cats that are in foster homes and starting the adoption process begins with filling out a form.

"We contact the Executive Director Leslie Weiss, and we'll get the process started," Connell said. What Leslie does is when somebody wants to become an adoptive parent, she does an inspection to make sure the home they live in is safe for the cat."

Mullin said the group is also looking for foster parents for the cats. n SurfcatCafe, see page 6

Public Works and Transportation Committee approves rate assistance program

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—Help for low-income residents moved past the Public Works and Transportation Committee, June 25, as the body approved the utility rate assistance program for utility bills sent to Oxnard residents.

The item allows for a $15 monthly credit for a service charge for customers who meet the eligibility requirements.

The staff was also authorized to direct $145,000 annually from penalty fees charged to current customers who pay their bills late to fund the utility rate assistance program.

The program is only for residential customers. The program will begin on July 1, 2019. The committee also received an update on the secondyear project assist that started on July 1, 2018.

Call Center and Project Assist Manager Jay Duncan gave an overview of the program for the fiscal year 2018-2019 and recommended the committee move the program forward for its third year.

“One of the recommendations is to move from a $10 credit per month, per participant to $15,” he said. “That’s a 15 percent increase.

It goes from 12 percent of the utility late fees to approximately 17 percent.”

The item allows the program to fund 805 residents for a year.

“The item will go from July 16, through June 30, 2020,” he said.

“The utility rate assistance program goes back to June 2013, and the city must fund rate assistance programs with discretionary funds, voterapproved special taxes or donations from citizens and businesses.”

Oxnard used the cities of Ventura, Davis, and Tracy as benchmarks because those cities use utility penalty fees for assistance programs.

“At the beginning of 2017, we formed a citywide committee that consisted of public works, the city attorney’s office, the city manager’s

Project Assist Manager Jay Duncan.

office, the treasurer’s office, and finance to brainstorm a way to fund this and make it sustainable,” he said.

“We also have a donations program that’s still on the city website, and we have approximately $13,000 worth of donations.”

Comparatively, Ventura has a 525-participant cap, he said, which helps their low-income families by approximately $100 per year.

“The utility rate late fees come from all walks of socio-economic residents, as well as businesses,” he said. “Port Hueneme does it on the other side of the coin where they fund low-income customers with a 7.5 percent discount; using general fund monies to support the program.”

Highlights of the program include an increasing number of participants from 392 to 548 during year two, Duncan said, which means the program grew by approximately 28 percent for the fiscal year. The city averaged 55 signups per month and people enrolled in the program at the main library.

“This project assist program reaches every zip code in Oxnard and every council district,” he said.

Age ranges for people on the program spanned from 18 years old to 101 years old.

“Our audience for this particular program, the majority are over

70-years-old, and they are not comfortable on the computer or have access to a computer,” he said. “These face-to-face signup sessions are important, and we run them monthly through April. We also met with the treasurer’s office recently, and we are going to try and turnaround the application once they apply mid-month, for example, and get them on the next month of the billing cycle.”

Moving forward, Duncan said he wants to expand the program to multi-family residents, and he noted that many Homeowners’ Associations and apartment buildings don’t pay the utility bills.

“Sometimes they get a portion,” he said. “Because we are a fullservice city, trash, water and sewer are all on the same bill.”

The program needs clarification, he said, so the customers don’t show up, and when they see multiple utility bills throughout the fiscal year, residents think it’s a signal to sign up.

“You only need to signup once per fiscal year,” he said. “Your name must be on the utility bill. There have been several cases through the fiscal year when folks had a deceased parent on the utility bill or a spouse, and we helped them out by going to the treasurer’s office and the service center.”

Committee member Tim Flynn applauded the program and said it is one of Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez’ public policy accomplishments.

“I think the solutions that have been given are the best we can do given the circumstances,” he said.

“I know we are improving, and we are benchmarking with neighboring cities.”

Committee Member Bryan MacDonald asked what the fund balance is and Duncan said it’s approximately $835,000 over the last five years.

“It seems like a sizeable amount of money,” MacDonald said. “Are we investing any of that?”

City Treasurer Phil Molina said the city invests all cash unless it is from a successor agency.

“This amount of money, which I think is more like $1.4 million, cash net fund is invested as part of the cash pool,” he said.

Committee Chairman Bert Perello asked for more information about the outside donations, and Duncan said that started before the city council approved the program.

“We didn’t have a program in place until the fiscal year, 20172018,” Duncan said. “It hasn’t gone up much. We got two or three donations this year. It’s under $13,500.”

Perello asked about the increase to $15 per month, and given the budget situation, he is wondering how palatable that will be for city residents who have lost their job or pay bills and don’t qualify for the program.

“I understand the need when people can’t pay their utilities, and it’s a serious matter,” he said. “With the growth of this program, if we stay at $10, how many more residents will we be able to get into the program?”

Duncan said the city would not get 805 people signing up during the first round of registration.

“People can get on this train at any point, and that is the beauty of this program,” he said. “We have never been in danger of maxing out.”

NEWS Council approves extension for PACC

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard--- The Oxnard City Council approved a six-month agreement to extend the operation of the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC) until Dec. 31, 2019, by unanimous vote.

The city will use Measure O funds to keep the PACC open with a limit of $410,000.

Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden reviewed the agreement and said the city entered into a deal with the Oxnard Performing Arts Center Corporation in 2000.

The council never extended the deal after it expired in 2010, and it continued to operate under the same agreement. The current deal expires on June 30, 2019.

“The general fund subsidizes the PACC between $760,816 to $2.734 million per year,” she said. “What that means is their operating budget of $1.9 million versus the revenue of $1.1 million they bring in; you have that gap over the years, and that gap is going back from 2013 to current.

Looking at the cost saving, this is one of the items we put before the council for closing, which would have saved the general fund $1.1 million.”

Based on community input from the four budget meetings, plus input during city council meetings, Golden said the city staff worked with the PACC Board; its president and executive director to work out a six-month operating agreement, so 114 planned events booked through Dec. 31, 2019, will continue as scheduled.

“The PACC agreement before

you tonight, calls for the canceling of the events after Jan. 1, 2020, which is another 25 events,” she said. “The agreement does provide for different events to be booked through this time-period between now and Dec. 31, but the intent of the Measure O subsidy is to maintain the events that were already pre-scheduled and planned for at the PACC.” The PACC Board did explore additional revenue streams to alleviate the gap, and one idea they came up with is to charge for parking during weekend events.

“The agreement before you tonight provides for an opportunity to charge for parking,” she said.

“Before implementing that they’ll need to hold community workshop meetings in the Hobson Park East neighborhood and get approval from the city on a parking management plan so we can ensure its safe operation.”

The city plans to release a scope of services for the PACC, she said,

Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden.

with staff, community and council input to solicit operators for the PACC by mid-September.

“In talking to the PACC Board and the executive directors, they do plan to apply to that Request For Proposals when it is released, but it will be something for the

general public to respond to,” Golden said.

The hope, she said, is to keep the PACC open with an operator from outside the city with no subsidy.

In council comments, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez thanked Executive Director Chelsea Reynolds for her efforts and said she does a fabulous job.

“I’m hoping she will stay and bring her talents to the community,” she said. “That’s certainly up to her, and wherever she went, she will do a fabulous job. We also have some fabulous staff, but Chelsea is a jewel.”

Mayor Tim Flynn praised Reynolds for what she’s done in almost “impossible circumstances.”

“I’m hoping in the next six months that the people in this city step up and we collectively find a way outside of government to run a non-profit organization that can sustain itself,” he said.

Finance and Governance endorses golf course revenues and expenditures

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Finance and Governance Committee for the City of Oxnard took a step towards being more transparent and endorsed the River Ridge Golf Course’s revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year 2019-2020 during its June 25, meeting.

The item had a line-byline breakdown of the costs and revenues, and Committee Chairman Tim Flynn pointed out that revenues exceed expenditures.

Chief Financial Officer Kevin Riper told the committee the

*EMC Oxnard Location Only

matter is more of a technical budgeting issue and in years past, the city council only appropriated direct city-paid costs, like the water bill and the debt service, other expenses, plus the net amount owed to the private operator.

“With the city council’s action at the June 18, meeting to approve a new operating model with American Golf Corporation, the structure of the budget changes,” he said. “Going forward, all expenditures, directly by American Golf Corporation, and

by American Golf Corporation on behalf of the city and all revenues, $5 and $4 million, respectively, are going to run through the city’s budget, its books of account, and its bank account managed by the City Treasurer.”

The previous method of appropriating money for the golf fund is insufficient, he said, because it’s too low of a number.

He pointed to a chart which showed a $988,288 total expense number, which represents the old way the city used to budget.

“What we’re representing today on the expenditure side is the $4.8 million of the total expenditures gross,” he said. “Instead of budgeting net, like we’ve done for the last however many other decades, we need to budget gross

because we need city council approval to spend every dollar and the city council needs to estimate every dollar of revenue coming in.”

He called the line items shown to the committee a high level and said the city plans to meet with American Golf Corporation to come up with all the detailed account numbers it will need for the city’s HTE Financial Accounting System.

“The public works department, the finance department, and American Golf Corporation will do that and come back to the council in the fall with a specific budget adjustment request that you’re used to seeing,” he said. “It will have more line items than this.

This is enough to get us started for the summer if the council approves this recommendation.”

During public comments, Jim Lavery asked who the city’s point person will be for the golf course.

“My main concern is the level of knowledge this person has of golf,” he said. “If the operator says we inherited this from High Tides, and this is broken, and that is broken, and we need another $1 million to fix it. Who’s going to translate that to you guys and say these guys are right or wrong.”

He said the new model is more transparent.

“With the other guy, it was a concession,” Lavery said.

Public Safety Committee approves shelter contract

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The Public Safety Committee for the City of Oxnard approved the 20192020 animal shelter agreement, June 26, and received a report from staff on animal safety in the city. The agreement is with the County of Ventura Public Health Agency for animal sheltering services and will not exceed $2.114 million (or net value of $1.334 million based on the credit of projected animal licensing revenue of $780,000 for the Fiscal Year 20192020.

Oxnard Police Department Commander Denise Shadinger reported to the committee and said the purpose of the Animal Safety Unit is to provide state-mandated and city services related to animal safety and protection. The police also promote public safety through animal law enforcement.

State-mandated services include rabies control and vaccination of licensed animals, licensing, impounding and seizing reported stray animals, investigating bite incidents and quarantine animals involved in bite incidents.

“There is also a requirement for animal shelter services, and the City of Oxnard does that through the County of Ventura Public Health Animal Services,” she said.

City services are not mandated, but do impact the quality of life, she said, and includes emergency treatment for injured animals, active patrol for leash law violations and strays, cruelty investigations, responding to barking dog nuisance complaints, promoting responsible animal ownership and dead animal retrieval. “Currently, our Animal Safety Unit is staffed by one senior animal safety officer, that position is now vacant, and one animal safety officer,” she said. “For most of the fiscal year 2018-2019, we’ve had one animal safety officer that has done the services for the entire city.” The Animal Safety Unit handled 3,746 calls for service in 2018, she said, and took in $480,375 in licensing revenue.

“That included licensing 15,643 dogs and 1,720 cats,” she said. “We’re one of the few agencies on the County of Ventura to require cats to have an animal license.”

The city impounded over 3,000 stray dogs and cats, which does not include surrenders to the shelter by their owner, or animals brought in by a private party. Services provided by the shelter agreement include vaccinations and euthanasia when an animal is injured beyond the services of a veterinary visit.

“They pick up the stray animals and care for them until the animal is adopted or returned to the owner,” Shadinger said. “It also includes the impoundment, quarantine, veterinary services, adoption services, food and veterinary care for those animals. The shelter also posts found animals to assist the owner.” Moving forward, the City of Oxnard will no longer have its own animal license and will now be a Ventura County Animal License.

“They’ll handle all the licensing services for animals within the City of Oxnard,” she said.

“There will be a large transition with our community members.”

The license fee for an unaltered animal is $100 or $20 for an altered animal. The new agreement takes the cost to $105 and $25.

OPED $200M in restitution and forgiveness delivers financial justice: settlements help consumers harmed by for-profit colleges, high-cost loans

By Charlene Crowell The struggle to eliminate highcost predatory debt is a daunting one—particularly for Black America.

As access to affordable credit, loans and mortgages seem ever elusive across the country, lying in wait are countless predatory lenders eager to fill the personal finance void.

But in recent days, two unrelated developments awarded consumers more than $200 million in victories against high-cost private student loans and restitution for triple-digit interest payday loans. Together, the two developments illustrate how freedom from debt burdens can lifted and erased.

The work of 44 attorneys general in states and the District of Columbia and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) together secured $168 million in private student loan relief for former students of the now defunct ITT Technical College. In a second development, private legal advocates secured $39.7 million in restitution and cancelled high-cost loans that tried to evade state laws.

Readers may recall that following ITT Tech’s closure in 2016, the institution promptly filed for bankruptcy, stranding an estimated 35,000 students enrolled at one of 150 campuses in 38 states. Due to its high cost of enrollment, most students financed their studies by using a combination of federal and private student loans. ITT targeted low-income students for its private label loans known as CUSO. These loans came with fees and interest rates as high as 16.25%.

In response to the closure, the Department of Education forgave federal student loans incurred as part of enrollment. But that action still stuck student borrowers with costly private loans that the schools and lenders pushed to finance promised educations that rarely were delivered.

Now through intergovernmental cooperation, over 18,000 former ITT Tech students are freed from highcost loans that were prone to default

by as much as 90%. Lenders must now cease collections, discharge all debts, and notify the former students that the debts are cancelled.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose share of the national settlement returns $13 million to 1,430 borrower students spoke to the importance of the settlement.

“Students who attended ITT Tech are burdened with unpayable debts they received while pursuing an honest education,” noted AG Paxton.

“This college and loan program have failed them tremendously.”

A similar reaction came from North Carolina where the settlement will bring $4.2 million to 412 former ITT Tech students.

“As Attorney General, it’s my job to protect students and ensure they can safely invest in their futures,” said North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein in a news release issued on June 14. “Today’s settlement will give these students the debt relief they

need for a fresh educational start and a future unhindered by these debts.”

By removing the financial burden of these loans, these same consumers will now be able to secure more affordable and lower interest rates as well as higher credit scores.

Whenever defaulted loans are added to borrower credit profiles, the resulting credit score is lower and comes with predictable difficult and costly interest for any new credit application.

In the second consumer win, efforts of private legal advocates like the Virginia Poverty Law Center secured nearly $39.7 million in restitution and wiped out debts from Think Finance. Once a federal judge approves the negotiated settlement, these monies and others paid by other defendants will be distributed to consumers ensnared in loans that came with an average interest rate of 375%.

For consumers, these predatory

rates meant that a $500 loan could wind up costing more than $3,000 for unsuspecting borrowers living in California, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia.

The settlement brings an encouraging end to litigation originally filed in 2016 against the Fort-Worth-based, Think Finance, Inc. It should be noted that these nonprofit legal advocates’ pursuit of financial justice from Think Finance stands in stark contrast to that of the current leadership at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)—especially when it comes to payday lending and other forms of high-cost loans.

Under CFPB’s first director, a lawsuit against Think Finance was originally filed in November 2017 and alleged that the firm was deceiving consumers in 17 states into repaying loans they did not legally owe.

With a change of administration and key personnel, an amended complaint was filed under Acting CFPB Director Mick Mulvaney that significantly altered the affected dates as well as the amounts of monies involved in the alleged violations.

According to a May 2019 Bloomberg Law article, the dates originally cited a 7-year span of time from 2011-2018, were reduced to only two years, 2013-2015. Additionally, the news outlet reported the amount of fees dropped from at least $325 million to only $40.2 million in interest and fees on combined loans totaling $45.6 million.

“The low penalty assessed to Think Finance follows a recent pattern of the CFPB entering into settlements with companies for alleged abuse of consumers but collecting either no money or low amounts in civil money penalties and little to no consumer restitution,” states the article.

In the May 2019 CFPB settlement, there was no consumer restitution.

Instead, Think Finance and each of its six affiliates agreed to pay $1 each to the CFPB to settle claims that consumers paid at least $325 million more than the nearly $50 million in principal amounts borrowed between 2011and 2018.

“These settlements are huge wins for consumers,” said Diane Standaert, an EVP with the Center for Responsible Lending and Director of State Policy. “They show the scope and harm of abusive practices by high-cost lenders and predatory for-profit colleges that result in consumers carrying the burden of debt for years”.

“The cancellation of these debts is an incredibly important form of redress that should be pursued by other state and federal regulators,” continued Standaert. “Effective enforcement can and will get people out from under crushing debt. And these actions underscore the need for strong protections at both the state and federal levels to prevent these predatory practices from occurring in the first place.”

OPED Thank You, MaryLee Allen

By Marian Wright Edelman MaryLee Allen was a brilliant, passionate, persevering, caring servant leader—not a self-serving leader—committed to helping build a world fit for children. When the Children’s Defense Fund was brand new, I was searching for smart, passionate people to help with our earliest work. One of the very first ones I found was MaryLee. Immediately after graduating from Marquette University with her degree in sociology MaryLee had come to Washington, D.C. to join the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, where she prepared research for lawsuits on school desegregation and discrimination in employment and jury selection, and received a special commendation for her work on Alabama school desegregation efforts. Since then she’d continued working as a policy and law researcher, and she joined us to work on CDF’s first-ever policy report, Children Out of School in America. Soon after that she went on to earn her master’s degree in social work from Catholic University but as soon as her graduate studies were done I called again, asking her to work with CDF for just a month while she waited to hear about her next job. Forty-two years later, she was still here. As anyone familiar with CDF’s work knows, for more than four decades MaryLee’s heart, soul, and political and policy expertise have been behind some of the most enduring and successful efforts to help America’s children and families.

MaryLee Allen, CDF’s longestserving staff member and the anchor of our policy work, passed away peacefully at home on June 13 a few short weeks after a diagnosis of advanced stage cancer. The entire CDF family and child advocacy community are sending all of our love and prayers to her son, Sean, her sister, Barbara, and the rest of her family. We are also celebrating her extraordinary legacy and impact and saying thank you.

Along with CDF’s late Director of

Research Paul Smith, MaryLee was the co-creator of CDF as we know it.

She will live on and on through the millions of children whose lives she touched and improved, especially some of our most vulnerable ones in the child welfare system. She also lives on in all the young (and not-so-young) current and former CDF staff who she trained by her example, in her meticulous work and publications and in her mentoring and outreach to the other child welfare and child advocacy networks she nurtured. She taught us that children do not come in pieces. She was a forger of laws, regulations and practices that will continue to endure as beacons of hope and protection for generations to come and guide those seeking to serve the most vulnerable families and children and families in

our nation.

For that very first CDF report one of the colleagues MaryLee worked alongside was a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham—later First Lady and Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton. Together they knocked on doors to gather data on why schoolage children were at home and not in school. Children Out of School in America became a major catalyst for the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (now the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA) and was the first of many major policy victories MaryLee helped achieve. For most of her professional life MaryLee took a lead role in shaping CDF’s advocacy for children’s welfare, health and safety, and from IDEA to the Adoption Assistance and Child

Welfare Act to the recent landmark Family First Prevention Services Act it is not an exaggeration to say every federal child welfare law enacted in the past four decades has been influenced by MaryLee and her unwavering commitment to improving the lives of children.

Just as important to her as the work itself was building the next generation of advocates and leaders and bringing new voices to the table to broaden the perspectives and impact of our collective work to improve outcomes for children.

MaryLee was a strong believer that major policy reforms couldn’t be accomplished without a groundswell of support and advocacy from different stakeholders and partners at the national, state and local levels.

She drafted, edited, and consulted,

she testified before Congress more times than anyone can count, and colleagues inside and outside of CDF depended on her wise counsel for their policy decisions and campaigns.

But beyond all of her expertise, we depended on her leadership as a person.

She was the consummate servant leader; as one of her policy team members put it, “she showed her leadership by helping others learn to lead.” Her former interns, staff, and colleagues have gone on to lead organizations at the state and national levels and are just one more way her fingerprints are left on our nation’s work for children.

She was known for her unfailing kindness, calm steadfastness, grace, and her attention to other people’s needs. She never failed to ask about a child’s graduation or a sick parent.

Her enduring example was in encouraging and reminding all of us always to keep moving forward. In the words of one of her favorite signoffs: Go! Go! Go! Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about MaryLee Allen’s life is that it exemplifies how one person can make a difference and leave the world better than they found it in profound and enduring ways. Millions of children and families have benefitted from this one woman’s passion to make change and create an equal opportunity for every child to succeed in America. Their futures are brighter because MaryLee Allen lived.

Following her example, all of us will strive every day to be as effective, as careful, and as committed to the most vulnerable children as MaryLee was. Her spirit, servant leadership, work ethic, and unwavering commitment to ensuring a chance for every child to fulfill their Godgiven potential through the highest quality work will live on and on. We will miss her beyond measure, but we will honor her by carrying on as she taught us. Thank you, MaryLee. Marian Wright Edelman is President Emeritus of the Children's Defense Fund.

Whatever Happened to the Simple Things in Life?

Dr. James L. Snyder I’m not a very complicated person. I like simple things; things nice and easy. Occasionally I will do a crossword puzzle, but beside that, I enjoy the simple life.

On the other side, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage is very complicated. Just when I have everything figured out, I find another side of her that I did not know was there.

I suppose that is what married life is all about; year-by-year discovering new aspects of your spouse.

I am very simple minded when it comes to going out to eat.

When we go to a restaurant, for example, I’m very simple in what I order. Most of the time I order the same thing because I enjoy what I am eating at the time.

My wife is not quite like that.

Ordering her supper is quite a complicated thing. It takes several minutes to go through the menu and then several minutes to think about what she wants to eat.

Me, I tell the waitress, “I’ll have a cheeseburger, French fries and a Diet Coke.” And that’s that.

“You had that,” my wife will say, “yesterday. Why don’t you pick something different for tonight?”

I remember one time I made a drastic mistake which I will never repeat. I said to my wife, “Okay, why don’t you choose my supper for tonight?”

Boy, did she have a time ordering for me. I do not even know what she ordered, but it was a lot. I saw more on my plate than I could possibly eat. Some things on my plate I did not know exactly what they were.

I was very careful that none of it

resembled broccoli.

I have not made that mistake ever again. However, she often asks me, “Would you like me to choose your supper for tonight?”

Since that time, I have reverted to the simple things, especially when it comes to eating o u t at a

restaurant.

Once I had to buy some new shirts along with some new ties.

For some reason I went shopping by myself, which in itself is good.

When I came home that night from my shopping spree, my wife looked at all the shirts and ties I bought.

“You bought these shirts?”

She looked at the shirts and then at me with both hands on her hips and said, “These shirts are the same shirts you have in your closet.

Why didn’t you get something different?”

My assumption is, a shirt is a shirt and if I am going to get a new shirt, I should get a new shirt that replaces the old shirt. Simple!

In my simple way of life, I only wear white shirts. I can buy these shirts and not even have to think about what I am buying.

A shirt is a shirt and what i s

store and then the simplicity of life ended in a crash. My wife spent all afternoon looking at all kinds of shirts in all kinds of colors and then trying to find ties that would match. I did not know so many colors existed in the world. I do not even think the

wrong w i t h white?

The next time my wife took me shopping. It was the worst shopping experience I have ever had.

We went to the men’s clothing

rainbow has as many colors.

My idea is that a white shirt never draws attention.

A shirt of any color always draws attention to itself. I like to slip in and slip out without notice; it is the simple way of doing things.

When it comes to work, I am rather simple. I start a task and keep at it and to its finished, then I move on to the next task. I do not like to confuse things and so I do everything simply.

My wife is not like that. She is one of those “Multitaskers” that you hear about.

I was watching on television a man juggling four balls in the air at the same time. In the middle of his act, I stopped, looked at my wife and said, “That’s you. You have too many balls in the air.”

It is true. She can juggle four tasks at the same time and get them all done perfectly.

Don’t get me wrong here. I respect and can appreciate that kind of work ethic. I cheer her on and encourage her. There's only one small problem.

Because my wife is a Multitasker, she expects the person who said, “I do,” at the wedding altar to have the same work ethic. I’ve tried to explain this, but by the time I finished explaining it, she is already on to the next topic. I cannot possibly keep up.

Even when we take a few vacation days, she cannot sit still and enjoy the simple life.

She does more on a two-day vacation spree than I do all year long. I cannot keep up with her. I discovered if I let her do “her thing,” I will have the opportunity to do “my thing,” which is just enjoying the simple things of life.

I was thinking of what David once said. “Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies” (Psalm 27:11).

Following the Lord is a very simple thing. Just trust Him and he will lead you in a plain path.

NEWS Water fund continued from page 1

"In the events of the last month, that's changed, so the recommendation is changed," he said. "In general, I agree with you. We should ask the council to consider and approve all expenditures."

Basua replied and said, "we're going out to the community and saying we have a deficit, now we're adding to it," she said. "It appears to me in the last five months I've been sitting here, we continue to add and add.

The numbers to the budget keep increasing. I would like to have something where if things like this happen, I would like to see what the budget looks like as a whole. By the time we're done, we might add millions of dollars

to a budget that is already in a deficit, to begin with."

Committee Member Bert Perello asked when High Tides and Green Grass (the current golf course operator) decided to retire.

Assistant Public Works Director Brian Yanez said the golf operator decided to retire 2.5 years ago and informed the city they would no longer be operating the golf course on June 30, 2019.

"It was based on retirement," he said.

Riper said the golf fund is not going further in debt.

"It's reducing the principal amount that it owes the water fund," he said. "Back in 2013,

when the city council approved a $1.348 million loan from the water fund to the golf fund; the city council established a fixed repayment schedule, and that repayment schedule has been adhered to the last few years.

Now we're recommending that it also be adhered to, principal and interest, for the current fiscal year and next fiscal year, 2019-2020."

He reiterated that the payments come from the golf fund.

"This doesn't have anything to do with fund 101, the general fund, or fund 104, Measure O, the half-cent sales tax, or fund 105, the street maintenance fund."

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: SAY IT IN FRENCH

Committee Chairman Tim Flynn said over a series of decades, the city made capital investments in the golf course, and by doing so, they borrowed money.

There were anticipated revenues that were going to come, there were 10 different revenues, and one of the many revenues was methane gas that was going to be captured and sold and a whole assortment of

other things," he said. "There were capital improvement fees about selling the land on the corner of Vineyard and Ventura Road were also included in that business plan."

Unfortunately, he said what did not take place was that the methane gas did not come to fruition.

"What happened is the city council made capital improvements based on staff

recommendations, borrowed money, and a big part of why the golf course was upside down is because there was a lot of capital improvements in the golf course and those payments put the River Ridge Golf Course upside down."

Flynn called it "unfortunate" that the city borrowed from the utility fund.

"I hope we'll never have to do it again," he said.

Dad Patrick Mullin offered his home to the group and said he owns two cats.

"We have two that came through the cat portal that now live with us," he said. "In the middle of the night, they came through the cat door and joined our family. We're certainly in favor of saving the animals and making sure

they're safe."

He had his table and said he took advantage of the event to clean out his garage.

"This neighborhood will do a garage sale in Sept., so we got special permission to do another one," he said≥ For more information about Surfcat Café & Adoptions, visit https://surfcatcafe.org/.

thought was, “I knew there was something wrong with me.”

Accepting the diagnosis never entered her mind.

“It’s not my personality,” she said. “My thought was how am I going to get past this, how am I get through it, and what I am I going to do when I am done with it.” Toghia is battling cancer for the third time, and she plans to keep fighting.

“Even if it’s not in my body at present, I’m going to fight it by helping to find a cure, educate others, so they find their cancer earlier. Let’s face it. The earlier somebody finds cancer, the higher the survival rate is.”

She loved the breakfast and said it was fantastic.

“I never met a donut I didn’t like,” she said.

Travel time in the car means organizing her thoughts.

“I’m kicking around the idea of writing a book about survivorship,” she said. “How to flip the script and look at cancer differently. I think a lot of people would benefit by looking at cancer with a more positive attitude.”

Michael Borkovitz is a volunteer legislative ambassador, and he is trying to recruit other legislative ambassadors.

“In Washington D. C. in Sept. we put out lights of hope, and here, they call them luminaria,” he said. “We put out lights of hope that our members can purchase through fundraising around the mall in Washington D.C., and those are messages to Congress and the president to

let them know there are cancer survivors out there. We need all the funding because there are more and more people.”

Youngster Julianna Fox is a member of the Hope Team and got involved because her grandmother had cancer.

“I wanted to fight for her,” she said. “My grandma drinks black coffee, and I have creamer in it. “I raised $300 to help my grandma.” Cathy Daniel has a lot of family members that survived and passed. “I am here to raise money and find a cure for this disease,” she said.

"You have to have a cat-safe home, and we expect them to be indoor-only cats," she said.

Connell said a home with cats must be friendly towards a newcomer.

"Sometimes, if you have a dog, he may not be friendly to the cat or the cat being fostered may have an aversion to the dog," she said.

booths,” she said. “As bad as cancer is, it doesn’t have to be sad because we are out here celebrating life.” The goal is to have another birthday.

“It’s an amazing weekend,” Gilson said.

People who question if they should get involved should think about giving their all to a cause and form a team.

“Even if you can’t form a team, come out and help to be a part of our driven purpose to eradicate cancer,” she said.

Keri Toghia is a stage 4 cancer survivor from Anaheim but grew up in Ventura County and was enjoying the survivors’ breakfast.

“My life depends on people being at events like this,” she said. “With recurrent ovarian cancer, the truth is that it will kill me unless we find a cure.

My hope for survival relies on relayers who raise money so that research can be done.”

She planned to walk for about an hour and said, that’s all she can do while she gets chemotherapy before she is worn out.

“At my home relay, I walked for 12 hours,” she said.

She considers fundraising to be an essential part of her day.

“I do a lot of preparation for the fundraising part of the day,” she said. “I exercise my muscle through social media to raise money in advance. The walking part is the visual representation of how much we care.”

member Bert Perello repeated Lavery’s question and asked who the point person will be for the golf course.

“Per the agreement, it states there is a project manager, the city manager, and the department’s director will be the point persons,” Assistant Public Works Director Brian Yanez said. “However, we know that our city manager may have a conflict (because of where he lives) so the point person is the director and me, the project manager.” Committee Member Gabriela Basua said she loves the cost and revenue chart and it’s what she wanted to see.

“It’s transparent, and I want to thank you for that,” she said.

Chairman Tim Flynn commented that the golf course contract had not gone out to bid for 25 years and said how the money was handled during that time was less than transparent.

“This had been reported to the grand jury not only once, but on a number of occasions they issued reports on this,” he said. “It had to do with who was the custodian of the money, and it was accounts that were jointly held. The conclusion of the grand jury report in part was this method of accounting was not only unconventional, it didn’t say it was illegal, but other golf courses did not replicate it.

I think now that it’s pretty simple, Mr. Riper.”

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 (844) 4777869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 040646-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.

a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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 844-477-7869 or visit this Internet Website www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2019-0306. 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.

HEALTH Medical groups warn climate change is a 'health emergency'

By Elana Schor WASHINGTON (AP)—As Democratic presidential hopefuls prepare for their first 2020 primary debate this week, 74 medical and public health groups aligned on Monday to push for a series of consensus commitments to combat climate change, bluntly defined by the organizations as “a health emergency.”

The new climate change agenda released by the groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Heart Association, comes amid early jostling among Democratic candidates over whose environmental platform is more progressive. The health organizations' policy recommendations, while a stark departure from President Donald Trump's approach, represent a backto-basics approach for an internal Democratic climate debate that has

Groups signing onto the list of climate policy priorities include the American Lung Association, the American College of Physicians and multiple state-level and academic public health organizations. so far revolved around the liberal precepts of the Green New Deal .

“The health, safety and well-being of millions of people in the U.S. have already been harmed by humancaused climate change, and health risks in the future are dire without urgent action to fight climate change,” the medical and public health groups wrote in their climate agenda, shared with The Associated Press in advance of its release.

Among other things, the groups are pressing elected officials and presidential candidates to “meet and

strengthen U.S. commitments” under the 2015 United Nations climate agreement from which Trump has vowed to withdraw. They're also pushing for some form of carbon pricing, although without any reference to potential taxation of emissions, and “a plan and timeline for reduction of fossil fuel extraction in the U.S.” Former Vice President Joe Biden's climate change plan, released earlier this month, tracks broadly with several of the medical and public health groups' priorities. While the groups call for a reduction in petroleum and natural gas use in transportation, they do not go as far as several of Biden's rivals in supporting an outright ban on the oil and gas extraction technique known

as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which involves injecting highpressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals into rock.

Other groups signing onto the list of climate policy priorities include the American Lung Association, the American College of Physicians and multiple state-level and academic public health organizations. That the agenda's endorsing groups do not operate with “a political axe to grind” could help them draw more attention to climate change, said Ed Maibach, director of the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University.

For voters who view climate change “primarily as a threat to things in the environment, like polar bears,” talking

about the issue as a health problem could reframe their thinking, Maibach said.

“It's incredibly helpful when health professionals point out the actual

reality of the situation, point out that this is also a threat to our health and well-being now ... and it's likely to get worse, much worse, if we don't take action to address it,” he said.

Two new measles cases connected to West Los Angeles 'Michael Jackson Drug' still prompts curiosity from patients

LOS ANGELES (CNS)— Los Angeles County health officials are trying to identify anyone who may have been exposed to two residents who recently traveled and became ill with measles shortly after returning to the U.S. Potential exposure locations and times were between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. on June 7 at the Geffen Playhouse, 10886 Le Conte

By Carla K. Johnson

The majority of the cases were unvaccinated Ave., and June 8 from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. at Toscana Restaurant-Brentwood, 11633 San Vincente Blvd., according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Officials added there was no known current risk related to measles at either venue at this time.

These two new cases were not linked to each other and the people were likely exposed to measles

while traveling outside of the United States. Anyone who may have been at these locations on those dates may be at risk of developing measles for up to 21 days after being exposed.

There have been 10 measles cases among Los Angeles County residents in 2019, in addition to eight non-resident measles cases

among people who traveled through Los Angeles County. Of the 10 measles cases among residents, five are not linked to any of the others, and three were linked to international travel.

The majority of the cases were unvaccinated, officials said.

People who think they may have been exposed

were urged to check their immunization history and contact their health care provider by phone, particularly if they are pregnant or have a weakened immune system. People who develop possible symptoms, such as illness with fever or an unexplained rash, should stay home and call their health care provider.

It remains the most widely used anesthetic in U.S. hospitals, but many patients still remember propofol as the drug that killed Michael Jackson.

Most are no longer afraid of it, doctors say, though many still ask if they will get “the Michael Jackson drug” before an operation. And most of them will. Jackson died 10 years ago at his Los Angeles home after receiving a lethal dose of the drug intended for use only during surgery and other medical procedures—not for insomnia.

As Jackson rehearsed for his comeback tour, he struggled to sleep.

Prosecutors said Jackson's personal doctor Conrad Murray gave the singer propofol, as he had many times before, then left him unattended. Murray, who maintains his innocence, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011.

A look at the history and safety of propofol: MILK OF AMNESIA Jackson called propofol his “milk.” It's a white, oily solution injected into a vein. It acts fast, in about 40 seconds, and wears off quickly too.

Patients wake up with no hangover or nausea. They don't remember much, earning the drug its nickname “milk of amnesia.”

Propofol was a noteworthy advance when it was launched in the late 1980s, but it almost didn't make it out of the lab. An early version caused allergic reactions.

Discoverer John B. Glen kept at it and found a better formula using soybean oil. Thirteen years after its discovery, propofol rapidly replaced sodium thiopental in most operating rooms. Up to 50 million U.S. patients receive propofol annually.

The World Health Organization deemed it an “essential medicine.” Glen, who retired from the pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca, was honored with the prestigious Lasker medical research award last year.

Michael Jackson's popularity endures, even after new scandal

By Jonathan Landrum, Jr. LOS ANGELES (AP)— The documentary “Leaving Neverland” presented a disturbing depiction of Michael Jackson as a child molester, but the initial wave of negative publicity hasn't greatly diminished the King of Pop's image or the enduring popularity of his music.

Many believe Jackson's musical legacy is still going strong as Tuesday's 10th anniversary of his death approaches. Backlash to the documentary that aired in March on HBO and Britain's Channel 4 prompted radio stations in Canada to stop playing his music and the producers of “The Simpsons” to remove an episode that featured Jackson's voice.

But that's been the most visible extent of the backlash.

There's been no rescinding honors like has happened to Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein, or mass movements to stop playing Jackson's music, as R&B singer R. Kelly has faced.

Jackson's massively popular “Thriller” album and the theatrical version of its music video still reside in the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry. His music is still featured in commercials and is a part of a Cirque Du Soleil show in Las Vegas.

Museums in Detroit and Tennessee keep images and artifacts of Jackson on display, and his memorabilia continues to sell.

“He still commands prices compared to most any other celebrity,” said Darren Julien, president and CEO of the Culver City, California-based Julien's Auctions. He said his auction house has sold around

$15 million of the superstar singer's property including his white glove that went for $480,000 in 2009 and a jacket, which was recently bought for $75,000.

Julien said Russia, Asia, Middle East, Canada and America are some of the key markets where buyers are willing to spend money on Jackson's merchandise.

“He's the only celebrity where we would have lines of people to get in whenever we had stuff of his to auction,” he continued. “There's only one person that compares to Marilyn Monroe in collectability, and that is Michael Jackson.”

Billboard senior editor Gail Mitchell isn't surprised by support for Jackson, who she has met before. For a recent story, the veteran music journalist said she and a colleague interviewed about 30 music executives who believe the singer's legacy could withstand the “Leaving Neverland” controversy.

“Some saw the film, others didn't want to,” she said.

“Many said that (Jackson) is

not here to defend himself the way R. Kelly is here. ... The jury is always probably going to be out. But all of the execs said his legacy will be fine.”

Mitchell recently attended Janet Jackson's residency performance in Las Vegas where the singer played several of her brother's songs that had “people dancing and buzzin”' as the “crowd went wild” during classic songs from The Jackson 5, which she called “one of the highlights of show.”

His estate has also vigorously denied Robson and Safechuck's allegations, calling the documentary a retread of proven falsehoods from men seeking money. A lawsuit was filed against HBO. Despite the documentary, Jackson's music streaming numbers continued to soar, according to Ian Drew, consumer editorial director at Billboard. He said Jackson's estate has been smart about keeping his music relevant, but it could be diminished over those being “creeped out” by allegations.

Jackson's nephew said his

legacy will never be destroyed.

“No lie can destroy what was given to us as a blessing from God, and that's what my uncle was,” said Sigmund “Siggy” Jackson, son of Jackson's eldest brother, Jackie Jackson. “You can never destroy his legacy with a petty lie. He will be here. And even after God calls us home, his legacy will live on and never be torn down.”

Film producer Jodi Gomes agrees. She believes Jackson's legacy will live on from this generation to the next, no matter what.

Gomes said the family had been working on a documentary on The Jackson 5's 50th anniversary. The contract was ready to be signed with a network, but she said it backed out after “Leaving Neverland.”

“The 50th anniversary was planned and the whole family was participating and it was a celebration of what started the whole entire Jackson brand.

And now, that has gotten lost in the shuffle,” said Gomes, who worked on the 2009 reality series “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty” and the 1992 miniseries “The Jacksons: An American Dream.”

Siggy Jackson said his uncle's legacy will continue to win despite the “haters,” but understood the logic of some companies not affiliating themselves with anything Michael Jackson.

“That's standard business.

You wait until the heat burns down, so you can see after the smoke goes down,” he said. “I don't fault anyone from backing off. But as far as the family, it doesn't stop anything. The plans don't stop.

My uncle's legacy will never go away. Our family will make sure of that.”

Ava DuVernay’s documentary has had ramifications on the prosecutors who worked on the case.

Ava Duvernay’s ‘When They See Us’ sets Netflix viewership records

By Lauren Victoria Burke “When They See Us” has been the most-watched series on Netflix in the U.S. every day since it premiered on May 31,” according to Netflix’s Twitter account on June 12. Though Netflix does not release specific viewership numbers, the internet channel is a worldwide portal for content that has over 145 million paid subscribers.

“When They See Us” relays the jarring miscarriage of justice against five teens—Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise—who were convicted of assault, rape, and attempted murder. Their sentences were vacated in 2002 and the City of New York paid them millions in restitution after Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was blocking their settlement, departed office.

Ava DuVernay’s documentary has had ramifications on the prosecutors who worked on the case. Linda Fairstein, 72, was released from her book company, Dutton, weeks ago. Another prosecutor, Elizabeth Lederer has not had her contract renewed from Columbia Law School on June 11.

Prior to her resignation, over 10,000 signed a petition calling for Lederer to be fired. Fairstein, was the subject of a protest in New York on June 17. The day before Lederer's resignation from Columbia was announced, the college's Black Law Students Association called for her to be fired.
