Fourth Annual

Hueneme Show and Shine fills the beach

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Port Hueneme-- The Fourth Annual Hueneme Show and Shine had all the ingredients of a great day, warm weather, sunshine, hot rods, vintage autos, rock n roll and plenty of shopping at the Port Hueneme Beach.

T

HE event was a fundraiser for the local Port Hueneme Reserve Police and Seabees from NMCB 3’s First Class Petty Officer Association. The parking lot was filled with classic cars and trucks, as people

enjoyed the day and savored lots of treats along the way. Sophie Viveros was traveling with her mom Yesenia Garcia, and she wanted to spend the day with her family. Sophie was traveling in her little vehicle, and Yesenia said someday, she too will be showing cars at the show. “I love seeing all the cars,” Yesenia said. “There was a peach C-10 that I liked.” Grandma Yesenia Garcia thinks the Show and Shine is a cool place to bring Sophie. “I love coming out to cars shows, and I bring them so they can see the cars as well,” she said. “It’s a beautiful day to be out.” Sam Rodriguez brought his dog Zeus, who was outfitted in a set of goggles and ready for the day. Zeus had the goggles

on to keep the sand out of eyes, and the fresh look was a happy coincidence. “I’m just cruising around and have some time to kill and

It has a small wheelbase and a three-speed transmission, so it will only do about 130 miles per hour, checking out the show,” he said. Joanna Boicourt had Sam’s camera ready to go. “I’m holding it,” she said. “When he’s taking pictures, I hold the dog.”

She loves seeing all the people and all the nice cars. “I have a Dodge Dakota, nothing good,” she said. Sam said he owns a 1988 K-pod Blazer. “It’s kind of like the old Bronco,” he said. “The top comes off.” Mike Roberts brought his 1929 Ford to the show and said his hot rod had a 355 Roland Chevy Motor that delivers 400 horsepower. “It has way too much for what this car can do,” he said. “It takes a tenderfoot. He doesn’t know how fast the car will go. “It has a small wheelbase and a three-speed transmission, so it will only do about 130 miles per hour,” he said. n Hueneme, see page 6

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The Oxnard City Council held a study session about short-term rentals in the city, March 25, and reviewed an ordinance to bring forward. The council reviewed the item during its Feb. 26, meeting and discussed allowing short-term rentals in designated geographical areas. Staff considered the California Coastal Commission’s position on short-term rentals and the group asked city staff to make recommendations based on best practices. City Manager Alex Nguyen told the crowd at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center that he understands a short-term rental ordinance has been a contentious issue for several years, but he pointed out the world is changing, and this issue is one of them. “It’s important the council sends the staff clear direction tonight so that we can scope the time and investment we are going to put into some kind of ordinance,” he said. “It’s difficult, and I heard from some of you directly at our committee meeting last month, it’s difficult to accept that the city may be in a position to fashion some regulations when I know some of you, your preference is that we prohibit it altogether. It’s clear from my understanding of the California Coastal Commission that is not something they would approve.” Going forward, Nguyen said the city would propose some options to reign in short-term rentals as tightly as possible. “Other communities that have large universities have dealt with this for years, and have figured out how to handle fraternity houses, so it’s not impossible,” he said. n Performing, see page 3

The Gold Flora team is ready to serve the communities cannabis’ needs.

“I got a lot of free stuff.” She planned to stop and get ice cream before leaving. “I like ice cream a lot,” she

said. “I am going to shop here again.” Andrew Tilley was also onhand with the Dab Company,

which is a Los Angeles based concentrate company. “What we do, is we specialize in the distillate pens,” he said. “We try to provide you the highest potency cartridge and the best price.” "The company uses 99 percent THC ( Te t r a h y d r o c a n n a b i n o l ) content oil, and we use terpene to introduce flavor content,” he said. “You can find a variety of flavors with nice benefits to it.” He called it a “crazy busy day,” and with all the changes in the cannabis market over the past couple of years, people ask a lot of questions about testing. “A lot of people want to n Wheelhouse, see page 6
