ELEBRANTS enjoyed a great time with family and friends at tables that celebrated legends of the silver screen and some left with great prizes, courtesy of a raffle filled with treats.

Gary Blum from the Friends of Heritage Square said it takes about four months to get the spring tea ready.

“We vary it every year and do all kinds of eras,” he said. “It’s a fun time to dress up and learn about the era.”

He loves the passion the Friends of Heritage Square has and the effort they put forward every year to make sure that people enjoy the venue.

Nguyen proposes closing the PACC, the Carnegie Arts Museum, the Colonia Branch Library and employee layoffs.

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The community budget meetings are underway, and the May 10, workshop had no good news, as the proposed budget includes closing the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center (PACC), the Carnegie Arts Museum. These cuts eliminate eight positions, and the Colonia branch of the Oxnard Public Library.

Additionally, the city plans to reduce services at Oxnard Fire Station 2 on Pleasant Valley Road to emergency medical services only, plus numerous layoffs throughout the city.

By department, the city is proposing $2.4 million in cuts to the cultural and community services department, eliminating 8 jobs, $2.2 million in public works, which eliminates 12 positions, saving $1 million in the fire department, $988, 000 in the police department, deferring the hiring of five public safety trainees, $194 million to the information technology department, $190 million on the city manager’s staff and other cuts totaling $469,000.

City Manager Alex Nguyen told the crowd that the FBI raided city hall in 2010 and the district attorney published their findings in 2012.

“Not long after that, the city manager was placed on administrative leave, and the interim city manager served for about two years,” he said. “The city brought on a city manager in 2014 who did a great job of unraveling and explaining what all the problems were and that resulted in the 2015 n Layoffs, see page 2

Students enjoy eating bugs in science class

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— Students at Mrs. Delia Ayala's 6th Grade Science Class at Curren School May 10, enjoyed a different type of culinary treat, as students, teachers, and administrators got to try food made with meals worms.

The project is part of the California State University Channel Islands Junior Science Project that culminated in students creating a mealworm recipe book with illustrations. Along the way, they learned about what a great source of protein mealworms are in someone's diet.

Oxnard— The Finance and Governance Committee received an update on rising costs associated with CalPERS (California Public Employees' Retirement System), May 14, and discussed strategies to address the issue.

After considerable debate, the committee agreed to bring the item to the full council during a special meeting to examine the issue in detail and make an informed and united opinion.

The item came before the committee at the request of Chairman Tim Flynn, and the body wanted to hear recommendations about the matter.

Mike Meyer from NHA Advisors presented the item to the committee on Feb. 26 and told the group the city is dealing with a $270 million unfunded CalPERS unfunded liability.

"That is, by far, the city's largest liability and it's over three times the amount of the bonds that are outstanding, secured by the general fund," he said.

The unfunded liability started because of below average investment returns and assumption changes that CalPERS makes, the discount rate, the targeted rate of return which has changed several times, plus the mortality rates.

The utility fund pays its fair share of pension costs and covers a little over half of the miscellaneous fund costs.

"The City of Oxnard is one of 24 cities in the state that collects a property tax override," he said.

"We did review the actuarial analysis that was done in the last month or two that calculated the amount that can be n CalPERS, see page 3

management assessment report.”

The city had a full audit of its finances in 2016, and there were 111 findings.

“Early in 2018, that city manager resigns, and we had an interim city manager for six months,” he said.

“Last July, I showed up.”

The public didn’t appreciate all the turmoil that happened when they tried to fix the chaos before 2010, he said, and what happened when the FBI raided city hall was not about the next eight years, it was about the prior 1520 years, and those serious problems accumulated over a long time.

“Included in that, we had an outdated fee structure as an organization, which we are working to update,” he said. “All the city fees, the problem with it is, you should update some fees every year, or every two or three years. There are fees on the books since 1972.”

The city also did not have a good capital improvement plan or a parks master plan.

“A lot of the information and analysis you need to properly manage and plan for the organization you didn’t have,” Nguyen said. “We have and still have an outdated cost allocation formula, which is similar to the fees except it’s all within the city.”

Adding to the problem, he said, was dealing with a $3.2 million deficit at the Oxnard Performing Arts

Center, plus a $2.8 million deficit at the golf course.

“During this last decade, budgetafter-budget, we had to start paying back to make up for many of those mistakes,” he said. “The general fund had to return a lot of money to the various assessment districts that were not managed correctly to the tune of $4.4 million. The city also had to convert 140 part-time employees to full-time employees with benefits.

They were classified for many years as part-time employees, and they were working as full-time employees.

It’s improper to treat part-time employees as full-time employees and not pay them as full-time employees.”

That mistake cost the city between $5-6 million per year, he said, which is a new ongoing cost.

“For many years, the city was getting the services of all those employees at a discounted rate,” he said.

The city borrowed $16 million from the Measure O tax during the 2015-16 budget year to cover the general fund, and they are paying that back over a 10-year repayment schedule.

Before 2015, the city spent an average of $75,000 to $125,000 a year on the annual audit, and since then, the city has been spending approximately $3 million on auditing services over the last four years because there were so many problems.

“This current year, we discovered that we had a pension liability from the City Corp program and that’s a $2 million price tag we have to pay,” he said. “Last year, there was a special recall election, and that was $500,000.

That is a rare thing and let’s hope that doesn’t happen again.”

Meanwhile, he said the pension costs were skyrocketing which is beyond the city’s control, and they don’t have any influence over what PERS (Public Employees Retirement System) does and how PERS does it.

“There was a long-term fix and improvement implement back in 2013, and they changed the formula so it will cost less for local governments and over time, all city employees will be in the PEPRA formula,” he said.

“The classics, those of us who are older, will be gone.”

Through all that, Nguyen said there was “intense instability among the executive leadership” and over 10 years, 46 people filled 10 executive positions, which means 36 people left those positions.

“On average, each of those 10 years we had 3.6 executives leave,” he said. “To be clear, not all of those departures were bad, but no organization can be successful with this much turnover in such a short time. When this occurs, bad things are likely to happen, good things are not so likely to happen, and one thing that won‘t happen is innovation.”

As the city looks toward the fiscal year 2019-2020, Nguyen said the city faces a $9.2 million deficit if they do nothing.

With all that said, the city must restructure and look at job eliminations along with some strategic additions to the staff.

“The bottom line is there are certain areas in the city where we must perform better; the finance department and the planning department,” he said. “If we don’t do these things, we won’t be able to organize and manage our finances better, and we won’t be able to attract investment and expand our economy.

We’ve got to grow our revenues.”

Chief Financial Officer Kevin Riper reviewed the budget with the attendees and said a little more than 75 percent of the general fund revenue comes from taxes.

“We’re looking at a 4 percent increase in property tax coming into the city from this fiscal year to next fiscal year,” he said. “That’s consistent with the last 10 years, ever since the recession, when everybody’s property tax dipped, Oxnard has averaged about 4 percent a year, and that’s what we’re looking at for next year.”

The city is planning a sales tax increase of 3.5 to 4 percent during the upcoming budget year.

On the expenditure side, Riper said three-quarters of cost is for salaries and benefits.

“Not surprisingly, public safety accounts for almost 60 percent of the general fund expenditures,” he said. “Cultural and community services are $10 million; community development services are $10 million, and $12 million is for public works, admin and other expenditures.”

Pension costs for those employees are the big driver for the increases, he said, and since 2011, the city’s pension costs have doubled.

“That’s an 8 percent per year annual growth rate,” he said. “That’s way faster than revenue has been growing. Pension costs are eating into the general fund in a big way.”

The city’s rainy-day fund sat at $18 million on July 1, 2018, and by the end of the fiscal year 2018-2019, the city should have an operating deficit of approximately $3 million which brings the rainy-day fund to $15 million.

“Our city council has a longstanding policy of 18 percent of spending, but we will only be at 11 percent come June 30,” Riper said.

“The government finance office recommends a two-month operating reserve for all cities ranging in size from small to large.”

If the city does nothing or operates on auto-pilot for the next fiscal year, the $9 million-dollar deficit as it currently stands brings the fund balance down to 4 percent.

This story will continue on May 24.

NEWS Port Hueneme benefits from cannabis sales

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Greater Oxnard Organization of Democrats (GOOD) had a lively discussion May 18, about facts associated with legal cannabis and what it has been like since the become legal for medicinal and adult use in Port Hueneme.

Port Hueneme Police Chief Andrew Salinas made the presentation and said when he started with the department; he didn't know that he would be knee-deep in cannabis.

"Three months after taking the position, the city passed an ordinance that allowed the medicinal use of cannabis in the city in July 2017, and they would subsequently approve adult-use," he said. "Over the past year, I have been keeping careful statistics and keeping a diary of what's been happening in Port Hueneme."

The city's first cannabis dispensary opened in Jan. 2018, he said, followed by the second, third and fourth dispensaries in April and July and Aug. of 2018.

He chose not to follow the big cities, like Los Angeles and San Francisco and said Port Hueneme is a unique place.

"I was going to be in the forefront and develop a plan that worked well for the city," he said.

On March 28, he started a cannabis educational forum because he wanted to be transparent, and he wanted the community to be informed, which is the most important thing.

"If the community is informed, they are more receptive of what's happening," he said. "There is a lot of misinformation out there about cannabis, so that's why I wanted to get out in the community and share the information directly with people interested in hearing our story."

He said Skunkmasters in Port Hueneme holds a permanent license.

"We wanted to be the leaders, not only in Ventura County but in the state," he said.

One unique attribute he said, is that Port Hueneme does not have

a voter-approved cannabis tax.

"We created development agreements with these businesses where they donate five percent of their gross sales to the city," he said. "We did this for a couple of reasons; it gave us more latitude to invoke conditions on them, and to pull those conditions back if they don't follow the rules by creating developing agreements and issuing them special-use permits."

Additionally, he said one percent of gross sales go toward community contributions and gets invested back into the community.

People who want to open a cannabis dealership in Port Hueneme must meet 14 conditions, as the applicant must submit a plan outlining security at the location, site control, business acumen, resources, the security plan, and the police will do a full background check on the applicant.

"Once you pass all this, we interview you because we want to make sure you are the right fit for the City of Port Hueneme," he said.

"These applications range from 200 to 1,000 pages, depending on what type of business you want to open up in the city. Usually, the big players, the ones who are serious about this, are the only ones applying."

Applications are not cheap and cost $30,000 in licensing and processing fees before the

first shovel goes into the ground, retrofit a building, or even find a building.

"Landlords are charging premium rent if they know you are a cannabis business coming into the building," he said. "It's upward of $4-6 per square foot, and they are getting it."

On top of the $30,000 license fee, the applicant needs $200,000 in the bank ready to go, and if you don't prove that, the city will not approve your application.

"We have to know that you are going to follow through, and do what you have delineated on your application," Salinas said.

He pointed to a map of the Channel Islands Blvd corridor that he referred to as "The Green Mile."

"From Ventura Road to Wheelhouse, it is exactly 5,280 feet from point-to-point, and we currently have six retail businesses on this stretch," he said. "Many of you who have driven along that stretch don't know they're there.

We don't allow certain signage; we don't allow people out there with their signs trying to get people to come in."

Currently, eight people have been issued cannabis permits, and six more permits are in progress.

From there, Salinas reviewed what he called "myth-busters" and the first one he addressed is that cannabis dispensaries are not s hotbed for criminal activity.

"Illegal dispensaries are a hotbed for criminal activity," he said. "A lot of illegal dispensaries are getting robbed in Los Angeles because they know they are not going to call the police."

Most people do not know they are cannabis dispensaries unless you go there to by the product.

Salinas imposed additional rules on the dispensaries, which prohibits after-hours gathering at the location, except for employee meetings.

"All employees must wear uniforms and must wear badges, so we know who the customer and employees are when we arrive," he said. "No employee can be under the influence of alcohol or cannabis while working at these dispensaries and armed; uniformed security guards must be on-site at all times."

The dispensary must have high definition video in the interior and exterior of the building with no hidden spots. "Each one of these dispensaries must have 40-50 cameras, and there is no spot that can't be seen," he said.

The city scanned 150 employees at $410 each, which meant $61,500 for the City of Port Hueneme.

"That helped offset one of our records technicians which keeps a lot of that administrative paperwork for us," he said.

Public Works and Transportation Committee approves green alleys project

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved an agreement with Pacific Coast Land Design Incorporated to perform community engagement and design work for the La Colonia green alleys project, May 14, for $244,252.

Public Works Sustainability Coordinator Eric Humel presented the item to the committee and said the Public Works Department submitted a grant application to the California Natural Resources Agency in 2017, and the project Photo by Chris Frost was selected for funding.

Sustainability Coordinator Eric Humel spoke on behalf of the green alleys project.

The city council approved the grant agreement in 2018. street trees in these neighborhoods stormwater infiltration and some “This current phase of this that have alleys, and 81 percent of greenery. project involves engaging the the alleys need critical repair,” he “We’re also going to integrate community in the design of said. “We did a green alley plan in community space and have this green alley project and the 2015, and one of the typologies we potential commerce connections,” subsequent completion of the prioritized was increasing bicycle he said. final design,” he said. and pedestrian connections.

Committee Member Bryan MacDonald said the green alleys project is a great idea.

“I’m excited by the project,” he said.

Committee Member Tim Flynn said the green alleys project is a win-win situation.

“From the very inception when I became aware of this project; it’s innovative, and it meets a variety of the general plan goals and objectives,” he said.

Flynn asked if the project would go citywide and Humel said they would need grant funds first.

“Especially with 86 miles of alleys in the community,” he said.

“Small scale things could be done here-and-there if it was prioritized and it was discussed with the neighborhood and having them involved.”

Chairman Bert Perello asked what groups were involved in the project. “The Parks and Rec and Community Services Commission and also the neighborhood council,” Humel said.

Perello asked about whether planting trees is a consideration and Humel said they have funding for a couple of new meters.

collected for the next fiscal year and the good news is that it's up a bit in the last year. It's about $15 million, and it was a little over $13 million for fiscal 2018-2019. That override covers about 72 percent of the total safety plan cost."

Costs to the general fund have doubled in five-years, he said, and by 2023, the cost will be $16 million.

After meeting with CalPERS, Meyer said the fund is not meeting its investment targets for this fiscal year and currently sits at 3 percent.

If investment returns stay at 3 percent, he said there would be an increase to the unfunded liability in the fall of 2020, then an impact on the expense side in 2021-2022.

The city has four cash management strategies it can implement, including prepaying the UAL (unfunded actuarial liability) early in the fiscal year, which Oxnard has historically done.

That action means the city gets a 3.5 percent discount, which means saving $725,000 if it prepays this July.

"The second option is asking CalPERS for a new amortization for the UAL, and within that concept, there is a fresh start option which shortens the amortization period, and there is a financial necessity option which extends the amortization period," he said.

The third option is to use cash reserves to make additional payments on what's required each year, he said, and the city can do that by setting up a section 115 or send the money directly to CalPERS and pay down some of the unfunded liability.

The fourth option is debt funding, he said, which means issuing bonds or a loan to pay off the unfunded liability.

"While it does offer the most potential savings, it is a complex idea and does bring with it a lot of risks," he said.

Meyer reviewed a new amortization schedule with the committee, but he does not recommend the plan because it makes the payments higher.

He also reviewed the 25 and 30-year necessity option with the committee, but to date, no city uses that plan.

"This is a new option that's offered by CalPERS," he said. "There is an extensive process to get approved for an extension.

The payments are still higher under the financial necessity option, so because of that, we would not recommend moving forward with that option. Under the current UAL payment amortization, the city still gets the benefit of a rampup period. Once you change to a new amortization, whether it's the financial necessity option or the fresh start, you're feeling the full burden of the payments in year one. We would not recommend something that makes your payments higher for the next two years."

CalPERS does not manage the section 115 trust, Meyer said, but after a city puts money in that fund, it must be used for pension or OPEB (Other postemployment benefits) expenses.

"Because of that, you do have the ability to increase your investment returns," he said. "You have the ability to work with the provider to set up an aggressive portfolio, possibly if you're trying to invest for the long-term, or something more conservative if you need that money in the short-term."

A direct pay-down sends the money directly to CalPERS, Meyer said, and the city can selectively choose which amortization base they want the money applied to.

"CalPERS would then eliminate the payment stream associated with that piece of the UAL and give you credit at 7 percent," he said. "The benefits of a paydown is you are increasing your funded ratios similar to the section 115, it's invested in the market, and we would hope you see increased investment earnings relative to what you currently get in your reserve portfolio."

The pension bond offers a lower interest rate, many times, than CalPERS charges, he said, which is 7 percent.

Committee Member Bert Perello said he's been sent to the League of California Cities in the past and heard the head of CalPERS say their investments are strained because of social requests by members.

"If they reduce the ability of members to earn money, it affects all the cities," he said. "Either you're in the game, or you're out."

He feels that everyone should pay the same into the pension, and it's not because one member of a bargaining group came to the meeting.

"If you come to my house, and if I had a pie, you get the same piece," he said. "If I am n CalPERS, see page 6

OPED ‘You can't win like that’

By Marian Wright Edelman “I can’t do a lot of the extra stuff that I would like to do for my kids or with my kids because I just can’t afford to. No vacations. There’s not too much going to the movies or little outings. Even getting school uniforms together is expensive.

Sometimes they have to wear stuff from last year. I have a lot of guilt because I can’t provide for them the way that I want to.”

The Children’s Defense Fund recently released our latest report on Ending Child Poverty Now once again showing just how much poverty is hurting our children and nation and sullying our pretensions to be an equal opportunity society.

As part of their coverage of this new report The Guardian spoke with several parents struggling to raise children in poverty today including New Orleans mother Sarah Davis.

As their story explains, Davis lost her home in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck. After attempts to make fresh starts with her three children in Texas, Indiana, the west coast, and Kentucky, she returned home to New Orleans three years ago, but even with a job as a phone operator she wasn’t able to escape poverty. Her family lived in a homeless shelter until a nonprofit agency helped pay the first few months’ rent on a home.

Now half of her salary of less than $1,700 a month goes towards housing. The rest isn’t enough to cover everything else: “A lot of times I have to buy foods that are less expensive to buy but I know are totally disgustingly bad for you.

There are a lot of ramen noodles . . . Sometimes I pay just enough on my water or electricity bill to keep it from getting cut off. I always owe no matter what, because I have to have money for other things.”

Davis’s youngest daughter has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and needs extra attention, so Davis knows that even if she could work 80 hours a week, that wouldn’t be a good solution either. “If I

worked two full-time jobs, then I’m not at home and that falls apart. If I work one full-time job, there’s more structure at home but then I make less money. It’s like, you can’t win like that.”

You can’t win like that and we all lose in a nation that allows millions of children to face the minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day harms of poverty. In 2017 over 12.8 million of our children lived below the official poverty line—$25,094 for a family of four—based only on cash income. Nearly half lived in extreme poverty below half the poverty line. Like Davis’s children, more than two-thirds of poor children in

We all lose in a nation that allows millions of children to face the minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day harms of poverty. related families live with an adult who works and more than a third live with an adult who works full-time year round. Poverty stacks the odds against children and stalks them down every avenue of their lives. As our latest national plea to end child poverty now carefully documents, poverty places children at risk of hunger, homelessness, sickness, violence, educational failure and family stress and too often deprives them of positive early childhood experiences and opportunities that prepare more affluent children for school, college and work. Poverty wears down children’s emotional reserves, saps their spirits and confidence and threatens their potential and aspirations. From infancy through adulthood poverty gnaws away at child resiliency and hope and harms them for life.

Beyond its individual human costs, child poverty has huge economic costs for all of us. One

study shows the lost productivity and extra health and crime costs stemming from child poverty add up to about $700 billion a year, or 3.5 percent of GDP. Another study found eliminating child poverty between the prenatal and age 5 years would increase lifetime earnings between $53,000 and $100,000 a child—a total lifetime benefit of $20 to $36 billion for all babies born in a given year. And we cannot measure the countless innovations and discoveries that never occur because so much child potential is lost.

Child poverty also fuels a destructive intergenerational cycle of poverty with compounding effects that can have lasting consequences into adulthood. Children who grow up poor have a harder time escaping poverty as adults. Research shows people who experienced poverty at any point during childhood are more than three times as likely to be poor at age 30 as those who were never poor as children. The longer a child is poor, the greater her risk of becoming a poor adult. A 2017 Urban Institute report found only 20 percent of children who spent half their childhoods in poverty were consistently working or in school during their twenties.

No families should have to fight so desperately to beat the odds in this battle that is so hard to win in a nation with the largest economy in the world. We must act now to save our children’s lives and our nation’s soul. Inaction is not an option; poverty is far too costly for our children and nation to continue.

Ending Child Poverty Now shows we already have the solutions and that by investing just a small percentage of our federal budget into existing programs and policies, we can make significant progress and rescue many child lives from stunted futures. We just need the moral decency, political will and economic common sense to do it.

OPED Unneeded Green New Deal higher-speed train in Florida barrels ahead

By Robert Romano Less than a month after cancelling its planned initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq, in early March Virgin Trains USA LLC withdrew its application for a $3.7 billion Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing (RRIF) loan to build a higher-speed train from Orlando to Miami.

The latest setback for the train, formerly Brightline, now leaves the project in some doubt after the company reportedly posted a $117 million loss on $10 million of revenues in 2018 and projects losses between $15 million to $36 million in 2019.

Now, the train’s last leg of financing comes from a separate Department of Transportation $2.7 billion allotment of taxexempt municipal private activity bonds, the largest ever allocation in the program’s history. That included an initial $600 million issue that was used to pay off millions of corporate debt at a high interest rate. Afterward, the company came back for another $1.15 billion of bonds and most recently yet another $950 million was approved.

On April 2, Virgin Trains USA sold $1.75 billion of the bonds, which included the $1.15 billion of bonds and refinanced the initial $600 million again. The bonds will pay interest between 6.25 percent and 6.5 percent.

While the Department of Transportation has already approved the latest private activity bond allocation of $950 million, the final decision had been delayed at the Florida Development Finance Corporation (FDFC) but could be formally approved at its April 5

meeting.

The agency and the Department of Transportation should be asking whether the latest approval will not just result in another round of musical chair refinancing for a project that has already been delayed for years.

The plan also counts on substantial customer demand once the tracks do

get laid to Orlando. Right now, the train offers service between Miami and West Palm Beach.

Currently, Amtrak already offers express service between Orlando and Miami that takes about five and a half hours. The Virgin Trains USA line would reportedly cut an hour and a half to two hours off that.

High speed rail is a long-term

objective of Green New Deal proponents who want to end air travel and eliminate carbon emissions, but with so many alternatives including driving presently available, it is unclear how viable such an expensive endeavor will be.

As it is, it remains to be seen what demand there is for a slightly faster option from Orlando to Miami, and

also for the service that will run up Florida’s east coast. Virgin is betting that the customers will come but it may be the state of Florida that ends up holding the bill if the project ultimately fails.

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

And then it was Friday Dr. James L. Snyder Like many people, I try planning and arranging my week so I can accomplish as much as possible.

For example, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage on Monday morning hands me her “honey-do-list” to complete by the end of the week. When she hands it to me, I smile and underneath that list I have concealed from her my “to-do-list.”

It is not that I ignore her list… well, maybe I do. But, I don’t do it on purpose… well, maybe I do.

I have a priority with my “todo-list” and most times forget about hers. Through the years, I have become an expert at making excuses about why her “honey-dolist” has not been fully completed by me on time. If there is an excuse to be found anywhere in the room, I have it in my pocket.

Most of the time I get away with it. I am not bragging here, although I lean slightly in that direction. But I have my own things I need to do for the week.

If I do not write down my “todo-list,” I will never remember what I am supposed to be doing.

I have a good memory, but I am saving it for when I am older and I will need more memory. Of course, by that time I will forget everything I have remembered.

When it comes to memory, my wife beats the band. She remembers everything that has ever happened.

Even those things that, from my opinion, never happened.

Quite often, she starts a conversation by saying, “Do you remember when…”

Then she goes on with a story

that for the life of me I cannot remember. Instead of embarrassing myself, I go along with it and tell her, “Oh, yes I remember that.”

It is easier to go along than to cause any kind of friction. I have no advantage in contradicting any story that she might be telling. So far, I’ve gotten away with it, I’m happy to say.

That is, until once when telling a story she said, “Do you remember the name of that person?”

At the time, I did not know if it was a trick question to see if I am really paying attention or if she did not remember. I am going with the former because of all the years I have known her I cannot remember anything that she has ever forgotten.

Forgetting at times can be a blessing. If someone does something against you and hurts your feelings, the best thing to do is to move ahead and forget it.

Probably the worst area to forget anything is with your wife. It is not that I intentionally forget, it is just that I forget.

I go into a panic when she says, “Do you remember…” Because I probably have forgotten what she’s talking about at the time.

Another problem I have is my attention span. When my wife begins a long story, it is very difficult for me to pay close attention. By the time she’s into the middle of her story, I’m thinking of something on my “to-do-list.”

She can tell me a story 17 times and I’m always hearing it for the very first time.

After finishing one of her stories, the friends listening, turned to me and said, “Is that what really

happened?”

What am I to say? As long as they don’t ask me to verify certain elements of that story, I can go ahead and say, “Yes, as best as I remember, that’s how it happened.”

I got in trouble one time. She was telling a story and in the middle she turned to me and said, “Honey, would you tell them the rest of the story for me?”

I cannot remember how I got out of that spot, but it was the most difficult spot I have ever been in. If I make something up, will she correct me in front of all our friends?

I’m not sure about this, but one time she did it on purpose to catch me. Not wanting to embarrass her or me in particular, I made up the rest of the story as best I could. As

long as the people were laughing when I finished was all that really mattered.

It was Friday morning and my wife looked at me and said, “It’s Friday. Are you ready to go?”

“Go where?” Not knowing what she was talking about.

You did look at the “honey-dolist” I gave you on Monday, didn’t you?

With a little bit of a stutter, I assured her that I had.

“Then,” she said rather sarcastically, “you know what we’re doing today?”

I had no idea what she was talking about. Finally, out of desperation, I did look at the “honey-do-list.”

There in bold letters I could never have overlooked were these words, “Friday take your wife out for a special Mother’s Day celebration dinner.”

I looked at her, then looked at the list and looked back at her.

“You didn’t look at that list on Monday, did you?”

I could not help but think of what Solomon said. “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

We had a wonderful lunch that Friday, a lunch I will remember for a long time.

NEWS Eating bugs continued from page 1

his colleagues involving an air quality project at Haydock Middle School, a microplastics project a Lemonwood Elementary School and a Surface Trash Project at the University Preparation Charter School in Camarillo.

"It's wiggly and squiggly, and when you can eat it, it adds more value," he said.

The project got started at the university last fall, and he hopes it will continue to grow.

The students also prepared an oral presentation and Joslyn said mealworms start as eggs.

"Then it's a larva a pupa, then a bug," she said. "The eggs last one to seven days, the larva lasts 10 weeks, the pupa lasts six to 18

days, and the adult lasts eight to 12 weeks."

Christopher didn't taste the mealworms when he bit into the brownie but said he could taste the bug in the cookie.

"It tastes like a burnt pumpkin seed," he said.

Superintendent Dr. Cesar Morales learned from the students who said 12 mealworms have the same amount of protein as a hamburger.

"I expected this to be my lunch," he joked.

He said the class is science coming to life.

"The principal is about to eat a worm with the kids, the teachers have eaten the worms, and a lot of the community is

excited about it."

He thought the mealworms were tasty. "It wouldn't be a prank anymore," he said. "It's a sustainable form of protein, and perhaps it will be in everybody's kitchen in the near future."

He said the brownie was chocolatey and great.

"It was like a Rice Crispy Treat, but with worms," he said.

Principal Christine McDaniel said the brownies tasted like a regular brownie.

"You could tell inside the snickerdoodle there was a mealworm inside of it," she said.

"The toasted mealworm was a little crunchy, and that first taste had that toasted flavor to it. It felt like you had potato chips in your

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: THE 1920s

teeth."

She was a little squeamish about trying the worms.

"I told Mrs. Ayala, please don't ask the kids to ask me to eat one," she said. "I am not replacing my protein shake with mealworms, absolutely not."

She called the class "the epitome of hands-on and project-based learning.

"We have a partnership with Cal State Channel Islands, and it gives them the opportunity to see what college can be for them," she said. "This is what we're looking for in terms of 21st-century learning."

Student Fernando Anbriz said the mealworm treats tasted good. He came up with a new creation, a mealworm brownie topped with a toasted mealworm.

"It was scary," he said. "I could

taste the mealworms in there."

Board Member Veronica Robles-Solis said the brownies and cookies tasted good.

"They need a little bit of lemon and a little bit of hot sauce," she said. "They are nice and crunchy.

It's a good experience for the kids." She plans to incorporate mealworms into her diet.

"I had them in Mexico City," she said. "I had them inside a taco."

Francisco Garcia had a snickerdoodle cookie because he wanted to know what whole mealworms tasted like.

"It tastes good," he said. "the mealworms tasted like burnt seeds."

Erandi Ramirez said she couldn't taste the worms in the cookie.

"It's a worm, but it doesn't taste like much," she said. "My

mom was not okay with this, she wouldn't let me eat the worm, but I convinced her that I wanted to eat the worm."

Pedro Cruz said he could see the mealworms sticking out the cookie and he went with the brownie.

"It tastes a little bit mealworm and a little bit brownie," he said.

"The toasted mealworms are good. They're crunchy."

Rigoberto Carballo had a cookie and a brownie.

"I like the cookie," he said. "I am a brave person like my friend Francisco. We're both daredevils and would do anything."

Angelica Morales is a student teacher and ran the mealworm program in the class," she said.

"It's good nutrients and more sustainable. Eating bugs is going to be more sustainable in the future than poultry or beef."

that this is all we talk about," he said. Chairman Tim Flynn said one piece left out of the discussion was postemployment medical benefits the city pays for at $2.8 million per year.

"We're also paying $4.5 million to PARS, which is a supplemental retirement

program," he said.

"If you combine this fiscal year of $34 million that's going to the public employee retirement system, $2.8 million in unfunded liabilities payments for the medical, people who are retired that receive medical, plus the PARS benefit, it's $41 million."

“When we’re not dancing, we do absolutely nothing,” he said.

Jeff Bass was outfitted in clothes reminiscent of 1910 and escorted his wife Paula who dressed in 1920’s style clothing.

“I love seeing all these wonderful people having fun and enjoying themselves,” he said. “I am absolutely going to dance, but my wife can’t dance, so I may have to go solo.”

Paula Bass wore a fun retro hat she found in a North Carolina second-hand store that matched her dress. “I added the feathers to it,” she said. “I am normally a dress up person, and I love hats. Dressing up for any reason, I will do it.”

She loved the event and said, dressing up and bringing joy to people is what she likes to do.

“The tea is great too,” she said.

“They go together. My husband usually gets me gelato and chocolate (for Mother’s Day).

That’s his answer to everything.”

Mary Case is Paula’s adopted mom and got her hat from Paula’s closet.

“I like hats,” she said. “I am a little short for the big ones, but I do like hats. It tops things off.”

She loves seeing everyone

being together all dressed up.

“The tea isn’t bad either,” she said. “I got a dozen red roses yesterday from my son and a Frank Sinatra compact disc from my daughter. My granddaughter took me out last week for a breakfast to die for.”

Holley Gene Leffler brought her collection of crocheted animals and said the art keeps her busy. “I put my head down and crocheted 11 in the last week,” she said. “It usually takes about as long to put them together as it takes to crochet them.”

She prefers to crochet because it is more forgiving than knitting. “If you get up to a certain place on the arms of something you knit, and you don’t have the right number of stitches, then you have to start over again,” she said.

She and her granddaughter wore a fashion that started in Japan, called Lolita.

“The Japanese girls want to be feminine without being risqué or suggestive,” she said. “It’s doll dress-like. For a woman of 77 years, being dressed up like a doll is fun.”

Kasstle Bell grew up doing historical costume events with her grandmother and started crocheting animals in the last couple of years.

“Most of these are patterns by people who make Amigurumis, which means stuffed animal and is something popular in Japan,” she said. “My grandmother likes to take a lot of the patterns and mix them.”

She also wore a Lolita dress that is big in Japan, that her grandmother designed that was not risque or suggestive.

“It’s a big turnoff for men,” she said. “You got to get dressed up in a big frilly dress and feel feminine and wonderful without men trying to ogle you.”

“It’s quite a fashion statement,” Blum said. “We have a meeting next Tuesday, so we’ll debrief there, celebrate and critique.”

Berkeley Hayes and Seth Coons were brought in by the Friends of Heritage Square and danced the afternoon away, which the crowd loved.

“This is our third 1920’s party this week,” Coons said.

Hayes added that she had the retro costume in her closet, and the duo had been working together for a while and started dancing together about a year ago.

“She’s been dancing since she was three, and I have been dancing half my life,” Coons said. “I’m older, so it’s almost been the same amount of time.”

Coons loves dancing and earning brownie points from his girlfriend. “After this, we are going to practice some more, and then we have another dance event tonight,” he said.

After a performance, he said it takes a while to come back down from their performance highs.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 077565CA. 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.

or estate, or both, of VIVIAN LUCILLE BURGESS. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by SANDRA A. BURGESS in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that SANDRA A. BURGESS 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.

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.

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 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000006841878. 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.

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 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000008098766. 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.

HEALTH Learn Your Numbers During Stroke Awareness Month

By Roger Caldwell May is National Stroke Awareness Month, and it is very significant to me, because I am a stroke survivor. As a stroke survivor, I consider myself to be a miracle.

One of my goals in life is to educate Americans (particularly Black men), that 80% of strokes can be prevented with knowledge and education. Strokes have the potential to be a silent killer, and nearly 85% of all strokes that occur show no warning signs.

Although there are no major warning signs, there are risk factors, diseases, and health issues, which make an individual more susceptible to having a stroke. High blood pressure (hypertension) is the number one cause in the country for a stroke and it can be regulated with medicine, a proper diet, monitoring your blood pressure and a healthy lifestyle.

“Healthcare in one of the wealthiest countries on the face of this earth is not a primary focus or concern. In this society, many people are not interested

in improving their health. They prefer to take a chance and hope that health issues will resolve themselves. I was not taking care of myself and not taking the necessary steps to correct my health problems. This is a major crisis confronting this country today,” says Roger Caldwell in his book, “The Inspiring Journey of a Stroke Survivor.”

It is obvious with the recent news of the passing of actor Luke Perry (52), and director John Singleton (51), who both died suddenly of massive strokes, that something is wrong with the healthcare system.

Both of these men were very successful, and if 80% of strokes are preventable, I would have expected these two men to have received the best medical care, but they are gone.

When I had my stroke, I was well aware that I had hypertension, but I was still not taking my prescribed medication. I was walking around with a time bomb. At any time, I knew the bomb could explode but I took a chance. Eventually, it exploded but I lived, and now part of my responsibility is to educate Americans about strokes with a primary focus on African Americans.

After having my stroke, I was completely paralyzed on the entire right side. I spent the next seven weeks in rehabilitation relearning basic tasks: How to

dress myself, how to talk, how to write with my left hand, and how to graduate from a wheelchair to a cane. My efforts paid off, but I did not recover 100%. All Americans must know more about stroke prevention and awareness, and they should know their personal numbers as well as their family members’ numbers.

As a culture and community, Black Americans have the highest incidence of high blood pressure, with 1 out of 2 adults having some form of

hypertension. May is stroke awareness month, and it is essential to understand the mechanics of blood pressure and what the numbers represent.

The higher number is the systolic number, and it represents the active portion of blood pressure, when the heart is pumping. This number should be around 120 or lower.

The lower number represents the diastolic number, or the passive or resting portion of blood pressure. This number should be around 80 or lower.

Know your numbers, take your medication, educate your children, and adult family members, and talk about your health. Visit a physician on a regular basis. Take control of your health, your life depends on it. Remember at any age a person can have a stroke, but as you get older you are more susceptible to having a stroke.

FAST is an acronym that everyone should know when they suspect that someone is having a stroke. The “F” stands for face, and one side of the face

droops. The “A” stands for arm and the arm drop’s down. The “S” stands for speech, and check for slurred or strange speech.

The “T” stands for time, and time is of the essence and call 911.

To learn more about strokes, contact the American Stroke Association, and go to my YouTube channel and view my documentary: “High Blood Pressure: A State of Emergency in the African American Community” (https://youtu.be/ tiINtiXBLXw).

Drugmaker Will Donate Meds for U.S. Push to End HIV Epidemic

By Staff Reports WASHINGTON (AP)—The Health and Human Services Department announced Thursday that CaliforniaBased Gilead Sciences Inc. has agreed to donate medications that reduce the risk of HIV transmission for up to 200,000 people a year.

“Will help us achieve our goal of ending the HIV epidemic in America!” President Donald Trump said in a celebratory tweet.

The pledge may last up to 11 years, said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. Gilead will donate

its Truvada prevention pill until a second-generation version becomes available.

The Trump administration has set a goal of ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. within 10

years.

Carl Schmid of the AIDS Institute called the donation “a really significant step,” saying it will make the drug available to uninsured people. It lists for more than $20,000 per patient, per year.

Gilead Sciences said in a news release that the medication donation is one of the largest ever made in the United States and is part of the company's ongoing initiatives to help ensure that everyone who can benefit from the medicine is able to access it.

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.

Another Case of Alzheimer’s

By Bill Fletcher, Jr. When I looked at my email in-box this afternoon, I encountered one of those messages that I dread: yet another person I know has been institutionalized as a result of Alzheimer’s.

The sadness conveyed by this person’s partner was clear in their words. They had been together for decades. I could feel the loss.

By coincidence, around the same time that I read this email I found myself looking at commentaries regarding Trump’s budget proposals.

Drastic cuts in everything except for the military. Though this may, at first glance, seem to have nothing to do with Alzheimer’s, think again.

Currently, Alzheimer’s is afflicting at least 6 million people in the USA; it is expected to expand to more than double that by the middle of the 21st century. Yet addressing Alzheimer’s appears to not be a priority of the White House.

The implications of the increase in Alzheimer’s patients goes far beyond the personal loss and sadness experienced by families. We are talking about immense healthcare costs. As I have witnessed in my extended

family, an individual who is otherwise healthy can suffer a long and slow decline that can be not only emotionally intolerable for all involved but immensely expensive, sometimes to the point of personal bankruptcy.

Yet, this is not an affliction that the White House, to borrow from a recent article in STAT [“Like Nixon’s ‘war on cancer,’ President Trump should open a war on Alzheimer’s” h t t p s : / / w w w. s t a t n e w s . com/2019/02/05/presidenttrump-should-open-war-on-

alzheimers/].

Fighting Alzheimer’s necessitates significant financial investments in order to advance the development of possible treatments. This will not happen on its own and one cannot rely on the private market to invest. The private market is more often than not cowardly regarding investments until and unless they get a signal from government that there is a genuine interest in a possible direction.

Many of my friends over the

age of 50 dread the possibility that they may become victims of Alzheimer’s. In each case most of us feel on our own in addressing this plague. We have seen it not only destroy individuals but take down entire families.

It is well past time that the government make this a priority. Fighting Alzheimer’s vs. another weapon system we don’t need? Not a difficult choice.

Bill Fletcher, Jr. is the former president of TransAfrica Forum.

House Votes to Block Trump's Eased Health Coverage Rules

By Alan Fram WASHINGTON (AP)—The Trump administration would be blocked from easing coverage rules required

by President Barack Obama's health care law under legislation Democrats pushed through the House on Thursday as the two parties rejoined a battle that roiled last year's congressional elections.

Under guidance the administration issued last year, states could allow insurers to offer low-cost, low-coverage policies that could deny coverage for people with preexisting medical conditions. Democrats said that by blocking that language, Thursday's bill would protect patients with pre-existing conditions.

“You pass this waiver, you are going to wave goodbye to the protections that we fought long and hard for preexisting conditions,” said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Republicans and administration officials said the guidance did not erode those protections and said they support protecting people with pre-existing medical problems. They said the administration rules were aimed at giving states more flexibility to try cutting consumers' health insurance costs, and objected to the name Democrats gave their legislation—the Protecting Americans with Pre-Existing Conditions Act. “This cynically titled messaging bill is all about scoring political points, not legislating,” said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. The greatest practical impact of Thursday's bill, which passed by a mostly party-line 230-183, was likely to be for positioning for the 2020 presidential and congressional elections. It had no chance of clearing the Republican-led Senate or getting Trump's signature.

President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans tried unsuccessfully to repeal Obama's law in 2017, and have pushed a federal lawsuit aimed at scuttling it. Democratic assertions that the GOP was threatening coverage for people with pre-existing conditions helped them win control of the House in last November's elections.

Legendary actress and singer Doris Day dead at 97

By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP)— Doris Day, the honey-voiced singer and actress whose film dramas, musicals and innocent sex comedies made her a top star in the 1950s and ‘60s and among the most popular screen actresses in history, has died. She was 97.

The Doris Day Animal Foundation confirmed Day died early Monday at her Carmel Valley, California, home. The foundation said she was surrounded by close friends.

“Day had been in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia, resulting in her death,” the foundation said in an emailed statement.

The foundation also said she requested “no funeral or memorial service and no grave marker.”

With her lilting contralto, wholesome blonde beauty and glowing smile, Day (equals) was a top box office draw and recording artist known for such films as “Pillow Talk” and “That Touch of Mink” and for such songs as “Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)” from the Alfred Hitchcock film “The Man Who Knew Too Much.”

But over time, she became more than a name above the title: Right down to her cheerful, alliterative stage name, she stood for a time of innocence and G-rated love, a parallel world to her contemporary Marilyn Monroe. The running joke, attributed to both Groucho Marx and actor-composer Oscar Levant, was that they had known Day “before she was a virgin.”

Day herself was no Doris Day, by choice and by hard luck.

In “Pillow Talk,” released in 1959

and her first of three films with Rock Hudson, she proudly caught up with what she called “the contemporary in me.” Her 1976 tell-all book, “Doris Day: Her Own Story,” chronicled her money troubles and three failed marriages, contrasting with the happy publicity of her Hollywood career.

“I have the unfortunate reputation of being Miss Goody Two-Shoes, America's Virgin, and all that, so I'm afraid it's going to shock some people for me to say this, but I staunchly believe no two people should get married until they have lived together,” she wrote.

She never won an Academy Award, but Day was given a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004, as George W. Bush declared it “a good day for America when Doris Marianne von Kappelhoff of Evanston, Ohio decided to become an entertainer.”

In recent years, she spent much of her time advocating for animal rights. Although mostly retired from show business since the 1980s, she still had enough of a following that a 2011 collection of previously unreleased songs, “My Heart,” hit the top 10 in the United Kingdom.

Day began singing in a Cincinnati radio station, then a local nightclub, then in New York. A bandleader changed her name to Day, after the song “Day after Day,” to fit it on a marquee.

A marriage at 17 to trombonist Al Jorden ended when, she said, he beat her when she was eight months pregnant. She gave birth to her son, Terry, in early 1942. Her second marriage also was short-lived. She returned to Les Brown's band after the first marriage broke up.

Her Hollywood career began after she sang at a Hollywood party in 1947. After early stardom as a band singer and a stint at Warner Bros., Day won the best notices of her career with “Love Me or Leave Me,”

the $20 million she had earned had vanished and she owed around $450,000, mostly for taxes.

In 1974, Day won a $22.8 million judgment against Jerome B. Rosenthal, her lawyer and business manager, for mishandling of her and Melcher's assets.

Terry Melcher, who died in 2004, became a songwriter and record producer, working with such stars as the Beach Boys. But he was also famous for an aspiring musician he turned down, Charles Manson.

I have the unfortunate reputation of being Miss Goody TwoShoes, America's Virgin, and all that, so I'm afraid it's going to shock some people for me to say this, but I staunchly believe no two people should get married until they have lived together.

Doris Day the story of songstress Ruth Etting and her gangster husband-manager.

She initially balked at it, but the 1955 film became a box-office and critical success.

She followed with another impressive film, Hitchcock's “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” starring her and James Stewart as an innocent couple ensnared in an international assassination plot. She sings “Que Sera, Sera” just as the story reaches its climax and viewers are beside themselves with suspense. The 1958

comedy “Teacher's Pet” paired her with an aging Clark Gable as an idealistic college journalism teacher and her student, an old-school newspaper editor.

But she found her greatest success in slick, stylish sex comedies, beginning with her Oscar-nominated role in “Pillow Talk.” She and Hudson were two New Yorkers who shared a telephone party line and initially hated each other.

In her autobiography, Day recalled her son, Terry Melcher, telling her

When Manson and his followers embarked on their murderous rampage in 1969, they headed for the house once owned by Melcher and instead came upon actress Sharon Tate and some visitors, all of whom were killed.

Day married a fourth time at age 52, to businessman Barry Comden in 1976. She lived in Monterey, California, devoting much of her time to the Doris Day Animal Foundation.

Court TV Pounds Gavel Again as All-Trial Channel Is Reborn

By Andrew Dalton LOS ANGELES (AP)—Court TV is ending its long recess.

The channel for legal junkies that thrived during the trial-crazy 1990s comes back from the dead after more than a decade Wednesday amid a true-crime craze that its backers hope will launch it into a long new life.

Managing editor John Alleva says the timing could not be

better for long-form, deep-dive coverage of court stories of the kind Court TV once provided of the Menendez brothers' and O.J. Simpson trials.

The new Court TV, which will be available over the air and on some cable providers, will focus on big cases such as the forthcoming New York sexual assault trial of Harvey Weinstein. But it will also focus on little-known cases that were just as important to the original network.

Michael Jackson's Eldest Child Prince Is a College Graduate LOS ANGELES (AP)— Michael Jackson's eldest child Prince is a college graduate.

Tw e n t y - t w o - y e a r - o l d Prince Jackson—whose real name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr.—went through commencement ceremonies Saturday at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

Prince Jackson graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration. The day was celebrated in social media posts from the graduate and relatives in his famous family.

T.J. Jackson, the cousin who served as Prince's guardian after his father died, tweeted, “it's been a long road but you did it. Keep learning, keep growing and keep giving back!”

Prince Jackson was 12 when his father died nearly 10 years ago.

Michael Jackson has two other children, 21-year-old Paris and 17-year-old Prince Michael Jackson, known by the nickname Blanket.
