basketball games in the gym.

The league will start playing games in July, but practices begin in June.

Program Coordinator Mark Estrada said the league usually attracts about 150 people each year and the league was almost at capacity after a couple of hours.

“Signups start today, and it stays open until it fills up,” he said. “Signups usually only last for a couple of days.”

The league has a capacity of 164 youngsters.

“I love watching these kids grow and learn, and keep them in a straight line,” he said.

With many first-time basketball players signing up, Estrada said one-on-one instruction is the key to a great experience. n Basketball, see page 6

Amazing art is that tantalizes the imagination is available to view at the Carnegie Art Museum.

Oxnard— Beautiful art that joins imagination and reality is on display and one of the featured attractions at the Carnegie Art Museum, as artists came together and contributed a fantastic collection of work to inspire thoughts and reflections about life.

The exhibit, a California Lutheran University Arts Initiative Event, features the work of Peter Adams, Benjamin Anderson, Nikita Budkof, Lani Emanuel, Sherry Loehr, Elizabeth McGhee, Paul Pitsker, and Adrienne Stein.

The exhibit started in March and ends on May 19.

Carnegie Employee Gabriel Milne said the exhibition has the work of over 20 artists who live in California.

“It’s surrealistic work, but has an imaginary twist,” he said. “Some events that are in the work and are out of this world, it doesn’t make sense, or it doesn’t happen.”

The venue had an opening reception, he said, and many of the featured artists attended to speak about their work. The Carnegie also had an artist’s talk on April 25.

Milne noted all the great art overcomes him, but after some reflection, he likes the painting of the girl in the red dress underwater, painted by Alexandra Manukyan.

The Armenian native was inspired by her parents who enrolled her in many school programs, including art school.

From that beginning, it lit a fire in her that continued after she moved to n Imagery Lights, see page 2

Oxnard-- On April 17, 2019, at approximately 7:26 p.m. there was a shooting in the 200 block of Cuesta Del Mar Drive, in the City of Oxnard.

An Oxnard police officer was in the area at the time of the shooting and located the suspect vehicle as it was leaving the area. The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop of the vehicle.

The vehicle failed to stop, and a short vehicle pursuit ensued. The chase ended once the vehicle collided into a cinder block wall. Both occupants were taken into custody, and officers located a firearm near the scene of the termination of the vehicle pursuit.

“The downside of that is the alternatives to incarceration, the support programs that were promised, didn’t keep up and barely materialized,” he said. “People are exiting our prison systems with no support services, no safety nets, no clear direction and they eventually end up homeless.”

Nguyen pointed out that shelters do not solve homelessness.

“We have to acknowledge that shelters are an important tool and traditionally they’ve been successful; they provide a service,” he said. “Even when you are staying at a shelter, you are still homeless.”

Conservative estimates for the police and its cost to respond to homelessness complaints, Nguyen said Oxnard spent approximately $2 million worth of police time on the problem, which is important and necessary but doesn’t fix the problem.

He outlined three broad categories to address homelessness.

“The first one is to address the impacts of the homeless, and that’s what we have been doing,” he said.

“All that police time and other departments’ time to respond to complaints, wherever they come from and to clean up the messes.

Addressing the impacts do not solve homelessness.”

The homeless community gets services through the shelter program, but that too does not solve homelessness.

Nguyen said the city must turn to investment that ends homelessness.

“If we don’t, it’s like playing “Whack a Mole,” and we'll continue to spend our precious resources addressing the impacts of homelessness,” he said. “The bottom line is over the last few years; we’ve spent just over $3 million essentially moving the problem around. We get some folks from somewhere downtown out of that location, and they end up in

another location and a new group of neighbors or businesses get upset with us, and the narrative publicly is that we allow this to happen.”

Nguyen said the housing first model saves money over time and providing housing units to the homeless while they receive services saves the cost it takes to react and chase the homeless around town with police and cleaning up homeless encampments.

“The housing first units in existence all have a great track record of being good neighbors, and the first generations of them, especially here in California have integrated well,” he said. “We have visited some of these projects, and the reason why there are low barriers to entry is that’s how you get people off the streets. You can’t have people with chronic medical conditions and chronic mental illness conditions; you can’t expect them to be “fixed” in a short period-of-time.”

While he spoke about the city’s cost to manage the homeless community, there is another cost to the city’s business community associated with congregations of homeless people and some people’s actions interfere with local businesses and chase away customers.

“There is also a cost for ambulance service and a tremendous cost for hospital and emergency rooms, and when you add all of that up there is a tremendous negative economic impact to every community that confronts this crisis,” he said. “Here in California, we know that Kaiser has made a small commitment to address homelessness. In Chicago, the University of Illinois Hospital realized that it’s a lot less expensive as a healthcare agency to invest in housing for some of Chicago’s homeless individuals. It’s cheaper than a visit to an emergency room.”

He said many homeless people figured out that when they show up in

an emergency room, they get a change of clothes, a warm meal and help with any healthcare issues they have.

“The University of Illinois figured out their typical emergency room visit cost them $1,200 and when you have repeat clients; that adds up,” Nguyen said. “They figured out it was more cost-effective if they took the same money and spent a lot less of it to provide housing and they sent their healthcare staff to the units. That is part of the housing first model.”

He hopes to work with the healthcare providers in the community, moving forward.

“The funds are there,” he said.

“There are federally set aside funds for affordable housing, and we can leverage that with a cash investment on the city side and we can leverage almost $200,000 of federal funds and our cash out would be under $10,000.

Going down that path, it leverages existing resources and the more of this we do, the less we will have to do policing and encampment cleanups, and we will have an improvement over the negative impacts we have now in the public spaces.”

To make the plan work, he said the city must update its public outreach campaign, so everyone is on the same page and understands responsible compassion.

“Many people in our community want to help and unfortunately in some cases, many of their activities they engage in prolong homelessness rather than contributing to resolving it,” Nguyen said.

The city needs a family reunification program, and when they come across homeless who are not from Oxnard, they will make an effort to send them home.

The city will also need to work with its property owners and landlords and the fastest way to utilize housing first is to use houses and apartments already on the market.

“When we come back, that will require a landlord incentive package, some money, and some active management,” he said. “Housing first has to have immediate availability of wraparound services and all those social services that are necessary, and we will continue to partner with the non-profit organizations and especially with Ventura County.”

At the state level, he said consequences for some crimes need to be stronger.

There are many things our officers can write citations and arrest people for, but there is no consequence to them,” he said.

During public comments, Pat Brown said she is impressed with the plan.

“This should be on the city’s website,” she said. “If you do that, people can come in at their convenience and study this and understand it more,” she said.

Barbara Macri-Ortiz thanked Nguyen and called it an impressive report.

“The approach is something that some of us have been advocating for a long time,” she said.

Councilwoman Gabriela Basua said homeless is a problem throughout the city.

“We’ve spoken a lot about that, and I applaud you for the effort,” she said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said she supports the effort.

“I go to Los Angeles frequently, and it’s shocking to see what’s happening, but you get used to it,” she said. “It seems like a daunting challenge, but you can’t ask people to do better and be stable when they are living under a bush.”

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said he likes the housing first approach.

“It’s nice to have a winter warming shelter for folks to stay, but it’s a bandaid approach,” he said. “All we do is

we warehouse people for a couple of months, and we toss them back out,” he said. “We don’t do anything to address their underlying demons.”

MacDonald said he’s not trying to criminalize homelessness.

Councilman Bert Perello said he likes the approach but asked what the city can do to make it less attractive so people don't come to Oxnard to get all the help.

“I liked how you are going to try and connect with families, and you hope to God that the guilt trip works, and they accept responsibility,” he said. “It’s part of your family.”

Councilwoman Vianey Lopez said she agrees with Brown and the city needs to inform its residents.

“The city is working on it, and these are important and proactive steps,” she said.

Mayor Tim Flynn said he'd seen plenty of meetings that involve homelessness and it’s rare to hear a presentation that move the problem forward.

“The reason why this city council has never acted on the homeless problem is because of money,” he said. “If we had an extra $5 million or $10 million in the bank, there would not be homeless encampments at the park or out at Ormond Beach.

If the city council had the resources or more importantly, devoted the resources to the homeless problem.

I agree with Mr. Nguyen, failing to act over time will cost us more than acting, I don’t think anyone should be under the impression that we are spending $3 million over two years, that it’s going to be cheaper in the beginning to solve the problem. It’s going to cost more money, and it’s not just going to come from grants from the federal government.”

Over time, he said it would be cost effective.

“I want the council to understand that,” he said.

NEWS Finance and governance explore investigation protocols

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Oxnard Finance and Governance Committee received a report from City Auditor Price Paige & Company, April 23, about the protocol for investigating the City of Oxnard’s Management and elected officials.

The committee authorized presenting the item to the city council.

Certified Public Accountant Henry Oum reported on the whistleblower investigation of City of Oxnard Management personnel and said that City Manager Alex Nguyen raised a great point and asked what the protocol would be for the internal auditors to investigate council, city management, and related elected officials.

“What we did was do our research and communicated with our legal liability insurance

and came up with a protocol for investigating those types of allegations,” he said. “We were engaged as the internal auditors to monitor the whistleblower programs, and it’s for any concerned citizens, employees or any other vested partner to report allegations of fraud waste or abuse to us, which is an independent department of the city anonymously without the fear of being exposed.”

He pointed out that complaints and allegations are anonymous and confidential and the internal auditors will screen the complaint for predication.

“We use that term a lot, and it’s the totality of circumstances that would leave a reasonable professional to believe that fraud has occurred, is occurring or will occur,” he said. “Most of the complaints we do receive on the hotline are not fiscally related matters. A lot of them are ordinance related violations or noise complaints. We forward them to the appropriate departments.”

If an allegation is reported to them about a council member,

they would report the matter to the city attorney.

“The city attorney would then determine if sufficient predication exists and conduct an investigation,” he said. “The city attorney should consider their legal obligation to notify outside legal authorities.”

He pointed out that the internal auditors would not investigate the council because they work for the council and the city attorney would handle the investigation.

“If an allegation comes to our attention related to the city clerk, treasurer or city manager, the auditor will direct the matter to the city attorney,” Oum said. “As the internal auditors, we will consider if sufficient predication exists to conduct an investigation, which is standard.

The internal auditor will report to the chairman of the finance and governance committee regarding the status of that investigation.

We will also report to the city attorney to protect the interest and limit the liability of the city.”

If an allegation arises against the city attorney, he said the

internal auditors report the issue to the city manager.

“The internal auditors will request that the city retain outside legal counsel to work with us on the investigation,” he said. “The reason for that is to ensure the investigation is conducted in a lawful manner. Retaining outside council will protect the council against any outside liability against the city.”

Councilman Bert Perello said the first time he read the report; he became concerned that something happened with an elected official or top management and they need to get something in place.

“I hope nothing has happened, but I do take it to heart because I was thinking along the same lines,” he said.

Chairman Tim Flynn asked if the internal auditors were doing the same thing for other cities and said if it’s based on best practices.

“We are new to this, and sometimes it’s important to take a little bit of time and work it through,” he said. “It seems good, and we’ll do everything we can to make it better.”

Finance and governance committee receives audit status update

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Finance and Governance Committee for the City of Oxnard received a status update about its internal audit projects, April 24, and authorized the auditors to present the document to the city council.

The report did not hold a lot of good news, but committee members appreciated the report and hope to get more answers.

Certified Public Accountant Henry Oum from Price Paige & Company gave the report and said in no particular order; the company is working on the city’s risk assessment audits.

"About 18 months ago, we conducted a city-wide risk assessment and met with department heads and personnel to identify key areas to focus in our internal audit process,” he said. As a result of that, we identified that the environmental resources cash handling would be a focus, as well as the overtime audit.”

He said the primary purpose of the internal audit was to see if environmental resources comply with documented internal control cash handling procedures.

The auditors met with environmental resources and conducted a survey of operations, which is a high level, big picture survey of their activities.

“Secondly, we conducted a walkthrough of key controls over cash handling,” he said. "We met with individuals and personnel, discussed with them how they handle cash and the flow of that cash throughout the entire process.

That process is now complete, and we are now in the process of testing those controls.”

Testing the controls determines whether the department complies with their policies and procedures, Oum said, and the company selected over 250 transactions in a two-year period which is in progress.

“We’re working with management, as a result of the tests, to develop recommendations to improve operational efficiencies and further improve the cash handling procedures,” he said. “We expect this to be done at the end of May and early June and report it to the finance and governance committee.”

Oum said the firm also looked

at the overtime issue and ways to reduce it and make the city more efficient.

They regulated the overtime audit into four phases, including understanding the overtime process. He said the city has three different overtime policies and procedures, one for fire, one for police and one for miscellaneous departments.

“The second phase is the walkthrough, and after we got that understanding we conducted compliance testing and over the last three-year-period, we selected over 500 time-sheets to be tested,” he said. “What we are looking for is the internal control efficiencies to see if the departments are complying with their internal policies and procedures. We’re looking for authorizations, approvals, signatories on each of the timesheets to ensure the payroll department properly entered that information into the database.

That is the compliance component of our test that we completed at the end of last year.”

Phase three means meeting with each department, fire, police and miscellaneous departments (mostly public works), he said, review the results and identify ways to improve.

“That will happen in May, and we expect to be complete with that process and produce that report at the end of July or early Aug. of this year,” he said.

Qum said the city asked the company to look at three different departments for the performance audit, including City Corps.

They’ve started the audit and met with management personnel, learned about their operation and requested a significant amount of information.

“The next phase is to conduct an overall walkthrough of their overall process and meet with them to discuss our interviews and discussions,” he said. “We anticipate that we’ll be able to produce a report by the end of June or early July.”

The second audit is at the Performing Arts and Convention Center, and the company met with management personnel and also requested a lot of information.

“The goal is to get a high level of operations that are taking place, review the finances and make recommendations for operational improvement and make timely decisions,” he said. “We expect to complete that at the end of June or early July.”

The third performance audit involves the golf course, and he said the timeline will shift a little bit.

“Based on the information provided to us and discussions with management personnel, the timing of the performance audit has been pushed out to focus on the Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC) and the City Corp audit,” he said. “It’s our understanding that the primary concessioner is no longer going to be bidding and the performance audit was based on that existing contract.”

The company will start the audit in Aug. and end by Dec. 31.

After discussions with the finance department, he said the company would assist the city to track and monitor prior findings issued by the external audits.

“In conjunction with the finance department, we would expect to be able to develop a process to be able to track, and follow up with all of your findings,” he said. “The city received over 100 findings from the external auditors and having a mechanism to track those findings can be challenging. We believe we are a natural partner to assist with that.”

As the city’s audit firm, he said they monitor the whistleblower hotline, and it allows any resident to report any fraud waste or abuse anonymously.

“We are currently working on three active investigations that we determined predication,” he said.

“Predication is defined by the CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) as the totality of circumstances that would lead a reasonable and professionally trained prudent individual to believe that fraud occurred, has occurred or will occur.

“When we get an allegation, we screen that and see if there is any substance or merit,” he said. “I expect one of them to be complete in the next two months and the others are ongoing and in the early stages.

During public comments, Jim Lavery said he looked at the report and was disappointed.

“All they seem to be doing is moving the dates back,” he said.

“I went back and looked at their contract on June 27, 2017, and all the things that he’s pushing back, over time, the PACC, City Corps, and the golf course were supposed to be done in the first year of the contract. That’s what the staff report said.”

He cited the golf course and said the operating subsidies, $600, 000 to $700,000 a year, not counting the 2011 bond issue that was related to the new construction and the second 18 holes at the golf course.

“You’re talking about $2 million a year the city is subsidizing for the golf course, yet nothing gets done,” he said. “You’re talking about cutting, and the city is using $2 million a year of taxpayer funds, and nothing is being worked on.”

Qum said he’s disappointed n Audit status, see page 6

Single audit report labeled an embarrassment during public comments

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentrey.com Oxnard-- The Finance and Governance Committee received its single audit report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and approved sending the report to the full city council on April 23.

Eadie and Payne Client Service Representative Eden Casareno made the presentation about the external audit for the City of Oxnard and said a single audit takes place whenever the city spends $750,000 of its federal awards and it qualifies now and in the past.

“On Jan. 22, we presented the CAFR, (the comprehensive annual financial report) that was issued on Dec. 12, 2018, to the finance and governance committee and in Feb. 2019, we presented it to the city council,” she said. “All of that information was reported to the state controller’s office as of Jan. 31, 2019, and all of that is part of our single audit package that is submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse, which was done on March 27, 2019.”

The company submitted a Schedule of Federal Awards, called the SEFA, she said, and the city had total expenditures of $6.9 million, with three major programs and 16 total programs.

“Out of your total expenditures, federal awards are about three percent,” she said.

The single audit report also includes any findings regarding the financial programs, and any major programs, she said, including material weaknesses, material deficiencies, non-compliance, and best practice opportunities.

“It’s important to note that even though the auditor had some findings, the city complied in all material respects and the federal requirements of all the major awards,” she said. “On the current year findings for major federal programs we had eight, and they were listed as 2018-001 through 008. Two major programs had findings under the Department of Housing, and Urban Development and those are the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program.”

Out of the eight findings, she said six of them are considered non-compliance findings and all of the CDBG Programs were prior year findings as well.

The single audit report had 29 findings for the current year, she said, including information technology, (IT) and general controls findings that are not itemized into the report.

“That’s because we consider them to be sensitive and in discussion with your city attorney, he and the information technology department will present a report to you that spells out the findings as well as their corrective action,” she said.

Perello asked what a sensitive item is and Casareno said the information technology and the information-technology-channel-controls department were found to have significant deficiencies.

“The criteria were the IT general controls applied to IT systems,” she said. “The objective of the ITGC is to ensure the integrity and processes are the IT system’s support.

The firm found 20 findings, she said, which they communicated to the IT Department.

“Those findings reveal vulnerability and increase the possibility of an attack on information technology systems in the city, and the findings will not be published in this document,” she said. “They will be communicated to the city council via a separate confidential report.”

She said there are four top current weaknesses for the current fiscal year, including properties held for sale.

“There was no reconciliation done or a list,” she said. “Everything was there, but it wasn’t completely documented.”

There were errors in the journal entries that affected the financial statements, she said, and some bank reconciliations were not completed in a timely, and they consider that a material weakness.

“The year-end closing process needs to be improved,” she said.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2019

OPED A cookie isn’t a cookie unless you can sneak it Dr. James L. Snyder The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I enjoy one glorious connection; she loves to bake and I love to eat what she bakes.

I did not marry her because of her baking skills because I did not know she had them at the time. I did know her mother was a wonderful cook and I assumed there might be some gene transferred to her daughter.

If the truth w e r e

known, s h e loves to bake as much as I love to eat. Whenever there is a function in the church, she is always baking, especially cookies. Her cookies are the best I have ever eaten, and believe me, I have eaten a lot. So many that I have gotten into trouble several times.

My only response to her inquiries along this line is, “If you didn’t make such delicious cookies I would not be tempted to eat them. So, it’s all your fault.”

I have yet to sell that line to her, but I still try. Of course, if I could sell her this I could sell her anything. So much for trying.

I am not sure which cookie she bakes that I like the most. I usually say, “The cookie I like the most is the one I’m eating at the time.”

To which, she usually responds, “The trouble with that is, you never eat just one at a time.”

Okay. She's got me on that one.

She usually does, so it’s no big deal for me.

An incident happened recently that caught me by surprise. It was leading up to a special fellowship function in our church. These are great times of fellowship, especially around the

refrigerator was some freshly baked cookies.

Right here I would like to say that I did my very best to resist temptation.

I am not a fan of Oscar Wilde, but I do like one quote of his. “I can resist anything except temptation.” When it comes to the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage’s freshly baked cookies, that describes me to an afternoon tea.

Several times as I walked

However, after eating that first cookie, I could not think of my work anymore and all I could think of was how delicious that cookie was. I thought to myself, “Isn’t my wife one wonderful baker.” Then I smiled and tried to go back to my work at hand.

It worked for maybe three minutes, but then my thoughts wandered back to those freshly baked cookies on top of the refrigerator. “What’s it going to hurt,” I said to myself, “if I get one more cookie?”

So, walking by the refrigerator I took one more

cookie.

After all, I thought to myself, if

dessert t a b l e .

Don't get me wrong here. I do like fellowshipping with other people, but I like it best when we fellowship around some dessert. It does not matter the dessert.

I was working on a difficult project and was not thinking about anything outside of my work zone. I spent a day at home trying to catch up on some of the things I was doing and I happened to notice on top of the

by

the

refrigerator, I could smell those wonderful cookies. To my credit, I resisted as much as I could, which according to my wife is not quite enough.

I walked by the cookies and took one. After all, I thought to myself, who’s going to miss one cookie?

they were not so delicious, I would not want to eat them. That has to stand for something!

Soon I was engulfed in my work at hand and not paying attention to anything outside that realm. I got my work done. The only thing I remember is going out into the kitchen and sneaking just one more cookie.

It was then that the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage came home. How fast time goes.

Then I heard it. “You did not eat these cookies on top of the refrigerator did you?”

By the tone of her voice, I knew I was in trouble. It is not that I have not been in trouble before. This one caught me completely off guard.

“Those cookies were for our fellowship this coming Sunday. What happened to them?”

Oh boy.

“I couldn’t resist those cookies and so I had just one.”

“If you had just one, where did the rest go?”

At this point, to come up with an explanation that would satisfy her inquiry was well beyond my pay grade.

I did not recall eating all those delicious cookies. Each cookie tasted better than the one before. I tried to explain, “Those were the best cookies in the whole wide world. The best cookies you have ever baked.”

She just gave me one of “those stares.”

After apologizing for my misdeed, I thought of a Scripture verse along this line.

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

The worst temptation is the one you think is not a temptation and one you can handle on your own. If it were not for temptations, I would not know how gracious God is in his forgiving power.

OPED An open letter to Bruce Springsteen

By Pete Brooks

Dear Mr. Sprinsteen,

O

n social media recently, I not-very-casually remarked that I thought you would make an excellent President. To my great surprise, a guy who’s long-since unfriended me because of his enthusiasm for the current administration and to whom I haven’t spoken since, replied, “I’d vote for Mr. Springsteen.”

Really. Really? This old friend isn’t even a fan of Springsteen’s music; his musical taste remains mired in 80s hair-metal and/ or the au courant equivalent. I haven’t heard “boo” from him in months and months, but he pops back up now to say he’d vote for you? That’s the Zeitgeist driving by in an open-bed pickup, spittin out a load of terbaccy and yelling, “Bruce, we need you!”

These are extraordinary times. Every day the news reads like the penultimate verse from any of your most apocalyptic ballads; only a single verse away from the long-suffering judgment of a disillusioned God. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary sacrifice, you’ve been saying so yourself in interviews and from stages around the world for years. So let me be the first one to say it out loud; your country needs you to run in 2020.

How many back-stabbing Democratic political hacks does it take to doom a Presidential campaign? Let’s not find out again.

I’m not suggesting you pursue the gig because you want it or need it, I’m asking you because the times demand it. Everyone— left and right—says they feel like we’re hurtling toward some some sort of big, paradigm-shattering event and I do, too. But it doesn’t have to be a bad event! The world doesn’t have to become uninhabitable in our children’s lifetimes.

Their future doesn’t have to be a dystopia.

I remember a paragraph in an interview you did to promote The Rising, where you told the interviewer [paraphrasing] you were out in public shortly after 9/11, and some stranger drove past on the street and yelled out his car window, ‘Bruce, we need you!”

And so you got back to work, doing your job as citizen singersongwriter and forging an album of elegies, and anthems of hope and empowerment.

Well Bruce, ‘we’ need you again. The rocky ground we’ve been traveling over since that time feels like it’s finally beginning to crumble beneath us.

Like you, I volunteered to help a local Progressive’s campaign during the last Presidential election. And like you, my candidate lost. Do you want to know

Prayers for a Season of Renewal

By Marian Wright Edelman

We are living through trying times as a nation when many are longing for justice. Sometimes it seems, in the words of poet James Russell Lowell, we are watching “Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne.” But hope comes every day from the groundswell of people still refusing to accept the forces of hatred, division, greed, and corruption and instead standing up to say we are better than this. The arc of the moral universe is long but it still bends towards justice.

The Passover and Easter holidays are times of joyous sacred celebration in their faith traditions, with family and community rituals centered on the promises of exodus, deliverance, new hope, and rebirth. In this season of celebration and renewal I offer prayers for new hope and strength as we keep working to redeem our nation’s soul and save all our children. ** God, guide our faith that by it we might make our children and nation whole again.

God, help us to believe with every ounce of our being that we, with Your help, can save our children and make them well, as You did the woman who said, “If I can only touch his cloak!”

God, renew our spirits—Your spirit within us—and make us worthy carriers of Your message of love and hope and life in all we say and do this day and forever more. **

world, makes a bazillion dollars, then after his children are raised and out of the house, gives it all away to become President in order to rescue the country from the brink of whatever nightmarish future we’re on track for. Then you campaign successfully to help your Veep win election in 2024 and retire after one term.

I know you don’t want it, don’t want any part of it. It’s that exhilarating lack of political ambition, coupled with your intelligence, compassion and doggedness, that make you the ideal standard-bearer and the best bet to represent your own values in the presidential contest in 2020.

Unless a new star arises from the veritable constellation of proclaimed Democratic contenders or someone comes up with a better, more eminently feasible Celebrity Candidate…

“Bruce, we need you.”

Pete Brooks is an author, educator and humanitarian based in rural America.

Lord, let us exile defeat wrestle despair to the floor throw apathy to the winds and feed depression to the hogs.

Lord, help us to stand up and fight for our children. ** God, protect us and keep us from being Hypocrites Experts Attention hoggers Blamers and complainers Snake oil salespeople Takers and just talkers Lone Rangers Excuse makers Fair weather workers Braggers Magic bullet seekers and sellers and Quitters.

God, send us and help us to be Righteous warriors Moral guerrillas Scut workers Nitty-gritty doers Detail tenders Long-distance runners Energetic tryers Risk takers Sharers Team players Organizers and mobilizers and Servant leaders, to save our children. ** God, please send the right partners for children and the right coworkers for the poor to balance those who speak for powerful adults and their special interest groups.

God, please send new voices for goodness and tolerance to challenge those who teach our children to hate and who prey on our racial, gender and class fears.

God, please bring justice for all of our children who are equally sacred in Your sight.

Marian Wright Edelman is President Emeritus of the Children’s Defense Fund.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2019

NEWS Audit status continued from page 3

these projects didn’t get done sooner.

“First, there’s turnover in management,” he said. “When we start these projects and communicate with members of management, and there is a reset, we have to start over with the entire process,” he said.

“That hinders the timeline.”

He said priorities also shift.

“In environmental resources, additional information came to light, and it pushed the priority up, and we had to focus on that,” he said. “In addition, the internal controls additions we’re monitoring, that originally was not on the internal work plan.

We believe as internal auditors that it’s important enough to

shift to those items and focus on these items and the city and finance department can move forward from these items.”

Committee Member Gabriela Basua acknowledged there was a lot of turnover in that department.

“Going on a two-year contract and not having anything in writing as far as the golf course, the PACC, and the City Corp is totally unacceptable,” she said. “I would like to know who determines what priorities come. Is that being left up to the auditors, being driven by staff?”

City Manager Alex Nguyen said those decisions are powered by the auditors and the finance

and government committee.

“There is a fine line for me to walk because I can’t be in a position where I am directing the auditors or in a position where I am interfering with the auditors,” he said.

Basua said the committee needs to give the auditor direction and they hold people accountable to come back and not push things back.

“We need to adhere to those deadlines,” she said.

Committee member Bert Perello said with the internal controls and the performance issue with the audits, and he can see there have been audit findings, starts and stops and part of this is attributed to staff

turnover.

“If we give changes in direction and we have to start all over again we will not get anything done,” he said. “I will echo Mr. Lavery, and I have been expecting more things to be completed.”

Chairman Tim Flynn said his concern is the city faces a $10 million deficit and the four areas being audited would give them insight into four different areas that are consuming the general fund budget.

“When we have to make these decisions about what to cut out of the budget, the information from these audits is crucial, not just as the chair, but as one member of the city council,” he said. “When we’re weighing whether somebody might lose a job, and it has a lot to do with these audits and what the information might yield. The timing is critical, and the budget has to be passed

by July 1. When I was looking at this over the last couple of days, and it concerned me that we were going to get most

of the information after we passed the budget.”

He pointed out the lack of internal controls permeates through the entire organization.

“On a future agenda item, there is a recommendation to get more people on the staff to address those internal control issues,” he said.

He said the PACC is subsidized to the tune of $1 million a year and the expenses are three times greater than the revenue.

“When we’re talking about this heavy subsidy from the city, I think it’s important,” he said. “The golf course contract is coming to an end, and one of the ironies is, I have no reason to suspect any wrongdoing with the golf course, but over the last five or six years, we’ve uncovered a lot of wrongdoing.”

The ironic part, he said, is that some of the people associated with the wrongdoing are gone.

“It would be good to get the information on the golf course

before the contract ends,” he said.

The city just paid $1.9 million for the city corps retirement, Flynn said, and it’s challenging because they provide a vital service for the city “There are no authorized positions left over to eliminate,” he said.

Basua asked City Attorney Stephen Fischer to run on a resolution until they get answers from the auditors.

“We are looking to cut programs; we are looking to cut jobs,” she said. “We do not anticipate having this back in time for our budget, so I would like to look at running on a resolution for a month or so until we get these reports back.”

Nguyen strongly advised against that action.

“These audits are performed to give an analysis and understanding of efficiencies,” he said. “The information is important and will be important going forward, but the bottom line of the budget is what it is despite the analysis.”

here,” he said. “I also work at the youth center, so if the kids want to go around and play, they have that privilege to have someone who coaches on the sideline and give them a few tips.”

He loves helping kids stay off the street while doing something positive for the community.

“We’re moving into a new age in society, where kids want to be on the tablet and social media,” he said. “This gives them a chance to run around and burn some calories.”

Marshall and Laurenzie Byrd came to sign up, and Marshall said his daughter has been playing YAL basketball for three years.

“She always has me on the internet looking for when signups are,” Marshall said. “It’s a big thing at the PAL. People are always signing up.”

Marshall coaches basketball and said as a child; he watched his brother and sister play.

“I love getting the kids to learn the fundamentals,” he said. “The look on the kids’ faces when they play the sport, that’s what got me into it. The love of the sport.”

He spent a lot of time teaching fundamentals at home and admitted he gets on Laurenzie a lot.

“She’s pretty tall for her age,” Marshall said.

Laurenzie said she plays the block and point guard.

“My uncle plays and my dad coaches, so I decided to try basketball,” she said. “My favorite basketball player is Candace Parker. I hope to play for the Los Angeles Sparks someday.”

She loves the teamwork portion of the game.

Bella Escota hasn’t played much basketball but wanted to come and check it out.

“My cousin plays basketball,” she said. “We don’t play a lot, but when we do play, I am interested. I have a goal to shoot as many baskets as I can and play in the WNBA someday.”

Mom Gretchen Escota planned to teach her daughter how to play and said her mother brought them to the signups.

“I played forward growing up, and once in a while I would play center,” she said. “It was awesome, and hopefully she’ll like it as much as I did.”

Enzo Frfias said he loves playing basketball, baseball and said he plays as good as LeBron James, “I play guard,” he said. “I like shooting the ball.”

Great-Grandma Connie Ybarra said she and her husband are going to set up a basketball goal in the yard.

“I’m not the basketball player,” she said. “My husband is the one. I will be rooting for Enzo.”

Great-grandpa Frank Ybarra said Enzo loves playing basketball and came early to make sure he was first.

“My son played basketball and youth football,” he said.

“He loves to play sports and being outside. If you keep these kids interested in sports, it will keep them off the streets.”

He loves playing basketball but said he wore glasses.

“The frames would come down, and I broke them three or four times,” he said. “I’ll be there cheering him on, and he’s doing good.”

“You’ve got to talk to those kids because they get a little nervous around youngsters who know what they are doing,” he said. “You have to work with them, calm them down and pay attention to the details. A lot of kids get frustrated in the beginning, but it’s their first time.”

Kids who have been playing for a while, he said, often teach the new players.

“We have a lot of high school kids that have been here since they were youngsters," he said.

"A lot of them come here, hang out, and mentor the kids,” he said. “They tell them, hey, we’ve been here before, have been in the same place you’ve been, and now we are in high school.”

Estrada said the league has plenty of coaches who like to help.

“A lot of the staff will have two or three teams we need to do, and we get as many volunteers as we can,” he said.

“The more volunteer coaches we have, the more teams we have,” he said.

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 be-

ing auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000008003519. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JANET L. COLE in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JANET L. COLE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 5/23/2019 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your ap-

pearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

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

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

KELLY Case No. 56-2019-00525218-PR-PW-OXN To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JAMES M. KELLY. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by MARY STARR KELLY in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MARY STARR KELLY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived

notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 5/23/2019 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

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

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

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

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

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.

HEALTH St. John’s Regional Medical Center hosts surprise high school graduation to fulfill wish of mother with terminal diagnosis Hospital staff and Oxnard High School District representatives help student graduate early at special ceremony

By Staff Reports On Monday, April 8, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) waiting room at St. John’s Regional Medical Center became the backdrop to a very special high school graduation, organized to fulfill a longtime dream of a patient with a terminal diagnosis.

Imelda Landin who is battling ovarian cancer dreamt of the day she would see her only daughter walk on stage and receive her high school diploma. Concerned she would not be able to attend her daughter’s graduation this coming June, Imelda’s daughter shared her mother’s dream with hospital staff and leaders from Oxnard Union High School District (OUHSD).

Together, the hospital and school district planned

a special bedside graduation ceremony.

“I’m extremely grateful towards the staff and leaders of both the hospital and the school district for all they have done, said Imelda’s daughter. “ I’m very happy to have been able to give this gift to my mom.” Leading up to this special event, the ICU staff took it upon themselves to organize every detail from ordering a cake to the logistics of staging the room. When the special moment arrived, Imelda was wheeled in her ICU bed, with her nurse at her side, into the ICU lobby, where dozens of people gathered to celebrate her daughter’s graduation.

The room was filled with Imelda’s family, friends, teachers, hospital staff and leaders from both the hospital and school district. And of course, the room was filled with emotion, as Imelda’s daughter received her High School Diploma and became the first graduating member of Pacifica High School’s Class

of 2019. She will be attending UC Riverside in the Fall on a scholarship and will continue

to receive much support and encouragement from family and friends.

“It was such an honor and a pleasure to fulfill Imelda’s wish,” said Imelda’s nurse,

Mike Hollis, BSN, RN. “She will forever hold a place in my heart.”

Ventura County Public Works Agency study to save millions by improving storm basin efficiency Over the next 10 years, Ventura County Public Works Agency has projected that it will save more than $6.7 million by eliminating the removal of 330,000 cubic yards of excess sediment generated during Ventura County storm events.

By Staff Reports The detailed, innovative study conducted by the Ventura County Public Works Agency (VCPWA) using Lean Six Sigma (LSS),

a program for continuous process improvements, looked at the size and maintenance procedures for the flood control and sediment collection basins.

When optimized correctly, VCPWA

will effectively “right-size” the basins to the current design and protection standards for much greater efficiency.

“The LSS team hit a “homerun” with this study.

Now we can redirect resources to urgent infrastructure repairs and other flood protection projects affecting Ventura County residents and businesses,” said Jeff Pratt, Director of VCPWA. The LSS team created a database that compared dam and basin design criteria, capacity, and watershed characteristics with long-

standing maintenance thresholds for cleaning out sediment. They found that 11 debris basins have additional capacity well beyond the normal design standards which can be allowed to fill in with sediment during natural storm events. In other words, future basin clean outs will not remove as much sediment as in the past resulting in significant annual savings.

“One reason for the excess capacity is because upstream development has significantly changed our watersheds since the basins were constructed,”

says LSS team member, Mark Bandurraga, hydrologist in VCPWA. “We’re also using thirty years of sediment removal data to better estimate the quantity of sediment generated from watersheds during storm events.” VCPWA maintains 56 dams, debris basins, and detention basins which gather debris and sediment generated during storm events. The removing of sediment from these basins each summer prevents downstream flooding due to the clogging of channels and culverts, as well as maintain their capacity.

“Removing sediment from the basins is very costly because it is often difficult to find a local area to dispose of the soil. Transportation is usually the most expensive part of the sediment removal,” said LSS team member, Mark Yaftali, an engineer with the VCPWA Operations and Maintenance Division. “We calculated a savings of about $250,000 for sediment removal during last year’s relatively light winter storms. We will continue to see annual savings every year as sediment flows into the basins.”

Two-wave U.S. flu season is now the longest in a decade

By Mike Stobbe

FDA OKs 1st generic nasal spray of overdose reversal drug

By Linda A. Johnson U.S. regulators have approved the first generic nasal spray version of Narcan, a drug that reverses opioid overdoses.

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday OK'd naloxone spray from Israel's Teva Pharmaceuticals.

Naloxone has been sold as a nasal spray in the U.S. since 2016 under the brand name Narcan. Pharmacists can dispense it without a prescription. It is also sold as a generic or brand-name drug in automatic injectors, prefilled syringes and vials.

A pack of two Narcan nasal sprays cost about $130 to $150 without insurance. Teva didn't immediately provide the product's price or when it will be available; its offices were closed Friday.

More than 47,600 Americans died of opioid overdoses in 2017, a toll that has been rising for two decades.

NEW YORK (AP)—Three months ago, this flu season was shaping up to be short and mild in the U.S. But a surprising second viral wave has made it the longest in 10 years.

This flu season has been officially going for 21 weeks, according to reports collected through last week and released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That makes it among the longest seen since the government started tracking flu season duration more than 20 years ago.

Some experts likened the unusual double waves to having two different flu seasons compressed, back-toback, into one.

“I don't remember a season like this,” said Dr. Arnold Monto, a University of Michigan researcher who had been studying respiratory illnesses for more than 50 years.

The previous longest recent flu season was 20 weeks, which

occurred in 2014-2015.

Flu can cause a miserable, relatively mild illness in many people and a more severe illness in others. Young children and the elderly are at greatest risk from flu and its complications.

Flu vaccinations are recommended annually for all but the very young.

The current season began the week of Thanksgiving, a typical start time. At the beginning, most illnesses were caused by a flu strain that tends not to cause as many

hospitalizations and which is more easily controlled by vaccines.

But in mid-February, a nastier strain started causing more illnesses and driving up hospitalizations.

Not helping matters: The harsher bug is not well matched to the vaccine, said the CDC's Lynnette Brammer, who oversees flu tracking.

Still, this flu season is not nearly as bad as last winter's 19-week season,

the deadliest in at least four decades. An estimated 80,000 Americans died of flu and its complications last season.

The CDC is estimating that flu-related deaths this season in the range of 35,000 to 55,000.

More good news: Brammer said that although the virus is notoriously unpredictable, signs suggest this flu season should be over soon.

“It's on the verge” of being over, she said. “If nothing changes.”

Johnny Cash statue to replace Confederate figure on Capitol Hill

By Staff Reports Statues of music legend Johnny Cash and civil rights icon Daisy Lee Gatson Bates will replace two Confederate figures on Capitol Hill.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) this month signed a law calling for the statues of Arkansas attorney Uriah Milton Rose and former Arkansas Gov. James Paul Clarke to be replaced in Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol.

Hutchinson said in a weekly address that the change was being made “to update the statues with representatives of our more recent history.”

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, which first reported the swap last week, noted that Rose and Clarke are controversial figures.

Clarke, a former United States senator and governor of the state, reportedly held segregationist views.

Rose was an attorney who sided with the Confederacy. Arkansas lawmakers have been pushing for years to replace the statues, according to the Democrat-Gazette.

Each state is allowed to send two statues to line the hallways of the Capitol. According to The Washington Post, once the statues of Rose and Clarke are removed, 11 sculptures of men with ties to the Confederacy will remain in the collection.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is one of the more high-profile lawmakers to call for the removal of statues that honor the era of slavery.

“There is no room for celebrating

the violent bigotry of the men of the Confederacy in the hallowed halls of the United States Capitol or in places of honor across the country,” she said in 2017.

Cash, a country music artist with crossover success, was from Arkansas.

"We're especially honored that a statue of my dad has been chosen to represent Arkansas in our nation's Capitol," Cash's daughter Rosanne Cash said during Hutchinson's

We're especially honored that a statue of my dad has been chosen to represent Arkansas in our nation's Capitol.

Singer Roseanna Cash address last week.

Daisy Lee Gatson Bates played an integral role in the desegregation of schools in Arkansas, including mentoring the African American children known as the Little Rock Nine.

Bates's goddaughter also praised the change, saying, "It looks like the state of Arkansas is shining down on one of its darling daughters today.

"To have her being recognized by millions of people all over the world, this is something that will resonate and will help improve our state," she said. "It's all about us joining together and making a difference, and Daisy Bates truly made a difference."

'Jeffersons,' 'All in the Family' Rebooted for Live Special

By Lynn Elber LOS ANGELES (AP)—“All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons” are coming back to TV, live and for one night only.

Woody Harrelson, Marisa Tomei, Jamie Foxx and Wanda Sykes will star in re-creations of episodes from the influential sitcoms born in the 1970s.

Norman Lear, who created “All in the Family” and its spinoff “The Jeffersons,” and Jimmy Kimmel are hosting the ABC prime-time

special airing next month, the network said Thursday.

Harrelson and Tomei will play Archie and Edith Bunker, with Foxx and Sykes as George and Louise Jefferson. Ellie Kemper, Justina Machado and Will Ferrell also will appear, ABC said, with more stars to be announced.

The original shows starred Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton as the blue-collar Bunkers, and Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford as the upwardly mobile Jeffersons.

People say “these two shows

were meant for the ‘70s and would not work today,” Lear said in a statement. “We disagree with them and are here to prove, with two great casts depicting ‘All in the Family' and ‘The Jeffersons,' the timelessness of human nature.”

Ferrell, Lear and ABC latenight host Kimmel are among the executive producers of “Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear's ‘All in the Family' and ‘The Jeffersons.”' Sitcom veteran James Burrows will direct the 90-minute special.

“All in the Family” was a TV groundbreaker when it debuted in 1971, using comedy as a vehicle to explore racism, women's rights and other hot-button issues. “The Jeffersons” (1975-85), about a successful black family in a largely white world, featured the TV rarity of an interracial couple.

Lear, 96, was an executive producer on a recently canceled Netflix reboot of another of his hit series, the 1975-84 “One Day at a Time,” which was reimagined with a Latino family.

NEW YORK (AP)—“Boyz N the Hood” director John Singleton suffered a stroke last week and remains hospitalized, according to his family. Additional details, including his condition, were not immediately available. In a statement released Saturday, Singleton's family announced that the 51-year-old filmmaker was in ICU and “under great medical care.”

“On Wednesday, April 17th our beloved son/father, John Singleton, suffered a stroke while at the hospital,” the statement reads. “We ask that privacy be given to him and our family at this time and appreciate all of the prayers that have been pouring in from his fans, friends and colleagues.”

Author Neil deGrasse Tyson and actor Omar Epps have been among those tweeting wishes Saturday for a quick recovery.

Singleton became the first black filmmaker to receive an Oscar nomination when he was cited for his debut feature, “Boyz N the Hood,” set in his native Los Angeles and released in 1991. His other films include “Poetic Justice,” which starred Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur, and “Rosewood.”

Singleton's recent projects include the TV series “Snowfall,” a crime drama set in 1980s Los Angeles.
