MEMORIAL DAY EVENT HONORS

America’s Fallen Heroes

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Port Hueneme— It was a day to honor and remember America’s fallen heroes, May 27, as the Third Annual Memorial Day ceremony brought a big crowd to City Hall to remember and honor those who paid the ultimate price so people can live free.

D

I G N I TA R I E S came and spoke at the event, and the crowd enjoyed patriotic music courtesy of the Hueneme High School Band.

The event was the brainchild of Larry Downing, a Vietnam Veteran and part of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Base 3935 in Port Hueneme, who said with the Naval Base in the city, it’s crucial to

have a Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day commemoration for its residents.

“We have a tremendous amount of retired veterans who live in the area,” he said. “Memorial Day is to honor the dead who fought for our country, and it’s important that people remember them. Young kids need to see there is a cost involved for the freedom we do have.”

The VFW Post was going to keep the event going after the ceremony.

“At 1 p.m. the Post is going to be providing hamburgers and hot dogs,”

VFW Member and retired Air Force Lt. Colonel Clay Cowgill said. “If anybody wants to participate, come on over. Everybody is welcome if you can bring a side dish, that is great. We accept cash donations to defray the cost. It’s veterans hanging out with veterans and thanking everybody for their service.”

Mayor Will Berg said the event is exceptional and he is out to honor the 1.5 million people who sacrificed their lives defending and protecting our freedom.

“This is one of the most important remembrance days we have in this country,” he said. “Larry’s ability to pull this community together has been amazing. The event takes n America’s Fallen, see page 6

U Pick Blueberries is a sweet treat

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Camarillo— If you’re looking for fresh fruit, most people will go off to the grocery store, pick out a selection and hope for the best.

Meanwhile, the smart shoppers will head over to the Gerry Ranch and fill up on fresh blueberries the consumer can pick right off the vine itself.

U Pick Blueberries is a great way to get the freshest blueberries and enjoy the control over picking the

biggest and sweetest berries right off the vine.

It’s also a great way to get out in the sunshine and take part in an enjoyable event.

Ranch owner Ken Gerry and his wife Jo-Anne enjoy having people coming out to pick their own blueberries.

“It’s nice to be local,” Jo-Anne said. “A lot of our fruit last year went to Vancouver, and by the time the fruit travels up there, it’s not going to be as good with quality. It’s much more fun to sell it to people

who are close and enjoy it.”

Fresh blueberries are the big appeal at Gerry Ranch, she said, and the consumer chooses precisely what they want. The blueberries were large, plump, and since they are fresh, will last a lot longer when you bring them home.

People are asked what variety of blueberry they want, Ken said, and most people don’t realize there is more than one variety.

“In this county, there are 15 kinds of blueberries, and all of them n Blueberries, see page 2

taste different,” he said. “I don’t know what a blueberry tastes like anymore; there are so many different kinds.”

The ranch started in 1945, Ken said, and his dad’s first crop was lima beans.

From there, his father started planting lemons, which grew to approximately four acres of the tart fruit.

People don’t realize that they don’t plant the berry bushes every year, Ken said, as most of them have been

in the ground since 2009.

“You can pick the perfect blueberry, and take a pack of perfect blueberries home,” Ken said. “If the blueberries come from Chile or Peru, those have been on the container ship for weeks. You can’t get fresher or find better tasting blueberries.”

Erin W was packing up her blueberries after a day in the field with her daughter Chloe, and she said the berries are the best in the county.

“It’s fun to take your kids and go picking,” she said. “It’s a good family outing. They taste amazing. Better than any blueberry you can get at the grocery store, that’s for sure.”

The family enjoys baking and snacking on the berries, but a special family treat is putting them on ice cream during the summer.

“They’re sweeter,” Erin said.

Debbie Salmon was loading up on blueberries for home and was up to 14 clamshells of berries and counting.

She discovered Gerry Ranch earlier in the year and was enjoying her fourth trip of the season.

“They’re the best,” she said. “They are so fresh; they last a long time, and the experience of being out here picking them is great.”

She prefers the direct approach to her berries, instead of baking.

“You stick them in a bowl and eat them, but they are also good for smoothies,” she said. “They also have avocados that are great.”

Joy Andleman knows the Gerry family personally and said Ken’s daughters babysat here children.

“I’ve known the Gerry family for two decades,” she said. “They grow the best berries. You have to pick the firm berries.”

She enjoys the emerald and jewel blueberries the best.

“You sample as you pick,” she said.

The Gerry Ranch is located at 9015 Rosita Ranch Road in Santa Rosa Valley.

NEWS Coffee with First Responders benefit many charities

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— Warm sunny weather and lots of coffee highlighted the Second Annual Coffee with First Responders event at The Coffee Bean on Victoria Ave. May 25.

Attendees enjoyed afternoon of fun and were treated to free coffee and tea outside, courtesy of the Oxnard Fire Department.

Barista Abby Schiaffinlo said it’s her first time involved with the coffee event and she loves meeting all the people who come out to visit with the fire and police departments.

It took a couple of hours to set up the coffee station for the fire department.

“We’re a high-volume store, so we have to help our guests get set up,” she said. “I got to try on all the fireman’s gear, so that was cool. I couldn’t lift my feet (after I put on the gear) so I couldn’t go out for a run.”

The venue was serving its “Heroes at Heart Roast” coffee and tea, and $1 from each purchase goes to the California Fire Foundation and the California Peace Officer’s Foundation.

“We’re also supporting the 100 Club in Arizona,” she said. “It’s the same as the fire foundation here, but it’s in Arizona.”

The department was also holding a raffle, and participants could win coffee merchandise.

Schiaffinlo thinks the world of the first responders and admires how they keep the community safe.

“One of my good friends is about the take the EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) test in California, and it’s cool,” she said.

mochaccino, Schiaffinlo said, and whole milk is the best way to make good foam.

Chief Darwin Base said he appreciates businesses like The Coffee Bean and how much they care about the first responders.

“They’re helping us too,” he said. “That’s why we enjoy these events.”

Attendees asked lots of questions.

“There is a county engine here, and people don’t know where the county comes from,” he said.

“We’re educating the public.

The questions are more about operational things.”

One truck at the event had a surfboard on it, and the department does get called to the

beaches.

“We don’t have lifeguards at the beaches, so if there is an incident, somebody is going to have to go rescue someone when they are floundering around in the surf,” he said. “That’s us.

Using a first responder is something you hope never happens, he said, but other times it is a thankless job.

“That’s okay,” he said. “There are 25,000 calls in the City of Oxnard, so we need it. I appreciate how we are able to provide that quality service to our residents.”

Oxnard Police Department Senior Officer Paul Knapp brought his Saint Bernard “Tank” with him, who is currently training to become a Volunteer Police Dog.

Volunteer Police Dogs go to community events, meet people, and socialize.

“He’s in training right now, and he’s doing a great job,” he said. “He loves the food; he loves people and loves children.”

Paul’s son Preston accompanied him to the event and said he’s joining the army.

“After I start on July 29, I am going in as military police,” he said. “In 1.5 years, my plan is to change over to K9, and eventually, I want to go into law enforcement.”

With his goals in mind, he said the military is his best option.

“I can still go to college afterward,” he said. “I can also go to college while I am in the military. It’s a big life experience.”

Public Works and Transportation Committee approves budget appropriation for dead trees removal

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The City of Oxnard’s Public Works and Transportation Committee approved a budget appropriation to leverage funds for dead tree removal in Oxnard during its May 28, meeting.

The city will appropriate $87,500 from Measure O to fund the Tree Mortality Event Response Grant.

The city is eligible for $262,500, plus an additional 10 percent for administrative fees.

Parks Manager Erik Garwick presented the item to the committee and said in 2016-2017, the city went through a drought that affected the majority of the city’s trees Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency because of the drought in Oct. 2015, which brought about the high tree mortality.

“Under this grant, it allows us to get 75 percent of whatever we spend to remove the dead trees,” Garwick said. “On May 22, 2018, the city council adopted a resolution authorizing the city manager to submit an application for federal financial assistance for the dead or dying tree removal.”

The city began removing 201

dead trees from its park system in early 2018, he said, and there are an estimated 613 more dead trees in the park system.

“Under our current condition, the city is eligible to request reimbursement of up to 75 percent for that grant,” he said. “In order to complete the tree removal work, an additional appropriation of Measure O Funds is required.

Committee Member Tim

Flynn asked how long it will take to remove the remaining trees and Garwick said it depends on how the city applies the grant.

“West Coast Arborists (WCA) has multiple crews and also internal staff, so we can probably look at over a year to get rid of those trees,” Garwick said. “There are no specific species that are most affected, each tree had a lack of water, so it was a total loss of

multiple species.”

In the future, Garwick told Flynn the city could install a drip irrigation system and use water trucks with reclaimed water.

Committee Member Bryan MacDonald said he loves the program and wants the department to locate more grant funding rather than pulling them out and leaving the space bare.

“We do currently have a grant right now, and we are planting about 1,000 trees,” Garwick said.

“We are in the process of replacing them as we remove them.”

Chairman Bert Perello commented that the groundwater table has fallen and asked what happens to the removed trees.

“WCA repurposes the trees,” Garwick said. “They make benches, all different types of furniture and if the tree is completely gone, they use it for mulch.”

Public Work Director Rosemarie Gaglione said the water table has dropped.

“The roots of the trees used to be in the zone where they would get water without supplying irrigation water,” she said. “The water table has recovered somewhat; it’s still not enough for the trees. When it got to the lowest point, the roots were not able to access any water without external irrigation.”

Oxnard-- The City of Oxnard struck back about reports of contaminated drinking water within the city limits at its May 21, City Council meeting.

City Manager Alex Nguyen said he wanted to set the record straight about the issue.

“There is a lot of misinformation on social media causing panic in some of our neighborhoods that the City of Oxnard’s water supply had too many nitrates in it, and that is incorrect,” he said. “This only impacted a certain neighborhood and it is water that is provided by a mutual water provider named Vineyard Avenue Acres Mutual Water Company and they provide to about 1,200 homes. The City of Oxnard’s drinking water supply is clean and safe.”

He advised residents not to believe everything they see on social media.

In a statement released on the city’s Facebook page: “The State Water Resource Control Board recently mandated Vineyard Avenue Acres Mutual Water Company to provide its customers with a public notification of the violation of a primary contaminant exceedance for nitrate, meaning the water it is supplying exceeds the maximum limit allowed for nitrates in drinking water.”

Council endorses continued from page 1

Nguyen set out to understand what the problems were in the early fall last year and Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden started process mapping so he would be sure about what to do with additional resources.

“You don’t fix a problem simply on complaints and stories,” Nguyen said.

“You fix a problem in this organization by analyzing it, studying it, talking to the people who are impacted, and providing a real set of solutions.”

The city recruited Development Services Director Jeff Lambert, who took the issue from Golden and developed an action plan.

Lambert said many city staffers worked diligently to formulate the plan to come up with phase one of the improvements, with more to come.

“We are collectively going to continue looking at the process,” he said.

Processes and policies are impeding the permit process, he said, and the first process management flow chart he displayed was “scary.”

One piece of the process showed a redo of the planning process that occurred 20 times that the city must fix.

“When you submit a plan check, and then you come back with corrections, we put you in the same line with everybody else,” Lambert said. “That’s what we’ve been doing in the past, and if you come back in with your second plan check to respond to those original comments we provided, you got told to get in line with someone who just filed that day for their first check. That’s not right; that’s not efficient and doesn’t n Council endorses, see page 6

OPED Remembering Unita Blackwell

By Marian Wright Edelman I was deeply sorry to hear of the passing of my friend Mayor Unita Blackwell. She was one of a kind.

She was always laughing and making other people laugh and she never stopped growing, learning, rolling with the punches, and punching back when she had to. As a civil rights activist, a member of the executive committee of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party along with Fannie Lou Hamer, and the first Black woman mayor in Mississippi, Unita achieved many “firsts.” She was elected mayor of Mayersville, Mississippi in 1976 and served for more than 20 years. She also became President of the National Conference of Black Mayors, was an adviser to six presidents, and received many honors, including a MacArthur Foundation “genius grant”—but she earned all of those honors the hard way. She spoke movingly of experiencing “emotional violence every day” for her movement work in Mississippi.

She once said she filed a lawsuit against almost every agency and operation of White people in the state of Mississippi and I was fortunate to serve as her lawyer for some of those lawsuits. During one period Unita said she got arrested every day for 30 straight days. She was jailed about 75 times for trying to organize people to register to vote. After 1964, when she joined the movement, she said she never slept uninterrupted for years because she and her family and friends would take turns sleeping and mounting guard against the Ku Klux Klan. She shared with my son Jonah how it felt when a cross was burned in front of her house and showed him the exact spot. But none of this stopped her.

Years ago I persuaded Unita to tell some of her stories for an oral history video in front of an audience of college students at the Children's Defense Fund’s Haley Farm outside Knoxville, Tennessee. She described how she first got involved in the movement during Freedom Summer 1964 when Stokely Carmichael and

rest of her group surrounded by the sheriff and a group of men in trucks: “It was awful to see the hate in the eyes of the White men who had come with guns. That’s the day I got angry . . . [I thought] nothing from nothing leaves nothing and we have nothing, and we’re going to have to stand for something. I was afraid, but that was the day I decided I was going to die for my freedom.” She added: “You die anyway, so you might as well die for something. It was worth it! It was nothing in vain.”

Nothing about Unita Blackwell’s life of leadership and service was in vain. She was a long haul partner for the Children’s Defense Fund’s Southern Regional Office, especially the Southern Rural Black Women’s Initiative (SRBWI), which organizes,

I was afraid, but that was the day I decided I was going to die for my freedom.

Unita Blackwell

Charlie Cobb visited her Mississippi church to recruit volunteers to attempt to register to vote. She said: “I thought that was a good idea. I’ve been asked what made me get into the movement. It was the needs: the needs to be met for education, for

us to live and eat and be decent and have the necessities of things in life. I stood up when they asked who would try to register. My husband pulled my dress to make me sit down and said, ‘Don’t get up ’til I get up.’ I sat down and waited, and he didn’t get

up, so I poked him until he did stand, and then when he got up, I stood up, and I’ve been up ever since.”

She never stopped standing up.

She described what happened when she tried to register to vote for the first time and found herself and the

trains, and nurtures women in 77 impoverished rural counties in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia to incubate businesses, build networks of leaders, and advocate for public policies that help families and communities. Today Unita Blackwell is the mother and namesake of SRBWI’s Young Women’s Leadership Program, which brings young women and their mentors to a fiveday leadership training and career development institute each summer on the campus of Tougaloo College. She remains an inspiration and role model and we will be honored to continue to amplify her voice and mission. Unita Blackwell was a brilliant, courageous, and original warrior for justice and will be deeply missed.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2019

OPED Eating out of my comfort zone Dr. James L. Snyder One pleasure the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and myself enjoy is going out for a quiet dinner together. It does not happen often, at least not often enough. When it does, it is always a delightful time and we try to take advantage of it.

The delight on my wife’s side is that she does not have to cook the meal and then clean up afterwards.

I have offered to help clean up, but only once and I am now forbidden to get anywhere near the dishwasher.

And, for good reason.

Once in the early days of our marriage, I decided to surprise her by cooking supper for her. She spent the afternoon shopping with some friends and so I thought it was the proper time for me to do this.

Up until that time, I did not know how difficult cooking was. I’ve seen my grandmother do it and my mother and now my wife, so I thought it was a rather easy thing to do.

I must confess I have never studied these ladies while they were preparing the meal. I enjoyed the meal when it was done and that satisfied me.

I spent all afternoon that day preparing a very romantic dinner for us to enjoy together. The kids were at camp or somewhere so we had the house to ourselves. I worked very hard doing what I thought was cooking a nice meal.

As soon as my wife walked in the door, she stopped and said, “What is that awful smell? What are you burning?”

I must confess that the kitchen was filled with smoke and I am not sure the source. What I was cooking that night escapes me at this point, but I thought I put enough time, thought, and it to do it properly.

The whole meal that night was a complete and perfect disaster. I know there is nothing perfect, but this came as close to perfect as I have ever seen.

I must confess there was a nice balance to that meal. Some was undercooked and some overcooked.

If you balance them together, maybe something comes out right, I am

not sure. Nothing, however, met the standard that my wife upholds in the culinary department. All the appliances in the kitchen were shocked by a disaster they had never seen before. And, never since, because I am banned from cooking in the kitchen.

The only thing I can do in the morning his turn the coffee pot on, that is the limit to my kitchen activities.

As we were sitting at our table at the restaurant, I was smiling. My wife looked at me and said, “Okay, what are you smiling about?”

I have never brought it up since that time and I was very hesitant about doing it now. Upon her insistence, I told her I was thinking about the time I cooked her dinner.

She stared at me for a few moments and then burst out in hilarious laughter.

“I don’t think,” she said between laughter, “you cooked anything that

night except your goose.”

That is the only expertise I have, I suppose, cooking my own goose.

We chuckled about that as we looked at the menu to see what we were going to order. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. Of course, we had worked all day and so were quite hungry and I suppose anything would look delicious at that point.

The waitress brought us our drinks, I had coffee and she had lemon tea, and we went back to studying the menu.

It was then that I noticed something. It had never crossed my mind until this point. I’m rather observant in life, particularly noticing the little things. But this night I was shocked.

Staring at the menu my mouth dropped open, my eyes expanded to their limit. At that moment, my wife looked at me and said, “What’s wrong?”

I finally was able to say something and conveyed to her nothing was wrong and I was okay. She knew better. My mouth was still open and my eyes were still bulging.

Then I heard some laughter across the table. I looked up and she was laughing one of her laughs that I knew had to do with me.

“Have you decided what you going to order yet?”

I muttered, stuttered and said nothing at that point.

“I know what’s wrong,” she giggled.

“Nothing’s wrong,” I tried to convince her.

“You mean to tell me,” she said between giggles, “that you have not noticed the prices on this menu?”

Finally, putting the menu down I confessed I had noticed the prices and could not believe how expensive everything was. I did not know what to do, we were out to enjoy the evening together and I was in a

predicament.

“You know,” she said quietly, “there’s a pizza shop around the corner. Maybe we could go there tonight.”

If anybody can read my mind, it is my wife. We paid for the coffee and tea, went to the pizza shop around the corner, and really, I mean really, enjoyed ourselves.

Driving home that night I thought of what the apostle Paul said. “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

The best part of a night out is not how much the meal costs, but who you are sharing it with.

Forget the Adversity Score, Just Dump the SAT

By Julianne Malveaux The College Board, the organization that develops and administers the SAT test, has developed a new “adversity score” to augment the widely used college admissions examination. The fact that the College Board has had to create an “adversity score” is reason enough to discard the badly flawed SAT test, a test that many consider racially biased, and that only measures the likelihood of first-year college success. In other words, it measures the accumulated advantages that some students have over others because of the quality of their high schools, their family wealth, and other factors. The “adversity score” seeks to measure the disadvantages that some students experience.

Interestingly, the “adversity score” does not measure race, although racial discrimination is alive and well in our nation.

Indeed, the development of an adversity score that does not account for race is a capitulation to the antiaffirmative action forces, some directed by this administration’s Justice Department that have brought lawsuits against Harvard and other universities because of “anti-Asian” bias. It is also a bow to the argument that a white student from a poor family is more disadvantaged than a Black child whose family is upper-middle-class when there is plenty of evidence that this is not necessarily so.

Structural racism is so woven into our national consciousness that a child of middle-class Black folks is likely to do worse than their

parents did. Our nation is in race denial, and this adversity score, which does not consider race, is part of the denial.

The pilot testing of the adversity score seems to indicate that using it may create more diverse admissions, but there are precious few details about the score (and it won’t even be shared with students and their parents). But the very existence of an adversity score raises questions about the efficacy of the SAT. This is perhaps why.

This is an interesting time for the adversity score to be rolled out.

Robert Schaffer, Public Education Director of Fair Test (the National Center for Fair and Open Testing) says the adversity scores are a way for the College Board to defend itself

against its critics. He said, “Schools do not need the SAT or ACT—with or without ‘adversity scores’—to make high-quality, admissions decisions that promote equity and excellence.”

In fact, more than 1000 colleges and universities, including half for the top 100 liberal arts colleges, do not use the SAT to evaluate applicants.

What should colleges use, instead, to evaluate students? How about high school grades? Some will argue that the quality of high schools varies. Well, that ought to be an impetus for improving the quality of some high schools, especially those in inner cities. How about class rank? The University of Texas uses class rank to admit some students, which ensures a diverse class given the segregation

that remains in our nation’s high schools. The adversity score will purportedly reflect differences in high school quality.

Eliminating the use of the SAT would do much the same, allowing college admissions counselors to make better decisions. The College Board says it is a nonprofit organization, but let’s follow the money. It makes so much money that its President, David Coleman, earns more than a million dollars a year, more than the President of Harvard University. The organization is making megabucks on the backs of our students, and it is reinforcing biases along the way. Some see the adversity score as a step in the right direction toward modifying the SAT. I see

it as a defensive move to shore up a flawed test and an even more flawed organization.

This fall, more than 150 colleges will use the adversity-enhanced SAT in their admissions process. Based on those results, more colleges will use the score to measure adversity. I know lots of folks who consider the development of an adversity score good news. It would be much better news if colleges and universities simply decided to stop using the SAT. It measures privilege, not knowledge, and it is demonstrably biased. Fixing a corrupt system instead of changing it only serves to reinforce the status quo.

make good use of everybody’s time.”

The city corrected that problem, he said, and when someone comes in for a second or third plan check you go to the top of the line, and there is a new process for someone who turns the project around in a “couple of weeks” instead of 45 days.

“The other thing I noticed is if you’re in the field and make changes; things happen in the field during construction, and the inspectors are not empowered to say that is okay,” he said. “They say that’s not exactly the way the plans show, so stop construction

first, go back into plan check, and when you get out of plan check, you can get going again. That’s not a good way to do business, and we’re looking at that, as well.”

He was most horrified by one project that took 127 days to calculate permit fees, which is an anomaly, but many times it takes a month to get that piece of the project done.

“That doesn’t work for us, either,” he said.

The city has inadequate resources, like staffing and technology, which means long wait lines, unpredictable turnaround times, and limited staff availability. E-mails

and phone calls, in many instances, are not returned in a reasonable time.

The process is broken, he said, and it places the applicants in a “black hole” when it comes to their project.

The Development Advisory Committee (DAC) needs better communication from all departments, he said, plus an early application of the DAC process, including the preliminary stage.

“If a comment from a city function is not there in the beginning and comes later it’s a surprise, and we want to fix that and make sure we are providing complete

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: FAMOUS CATS

information early in the process,” he said. “Minor modifications in the field often require extensive staff review, and it is a common problem.”

Often, plans are routed inconsistently and unclear, and the applicant does not understand what the permit department’s comments are.

“Re-checks are part of the normal process, and we are fixing that already,” Lambert said. “We’ve even had issues with the demolition permits.

It’s not necessarily our responsibility because we can’t issue a demolition permit if we haven’t verified the utilities have been removed. Some of that is better coordination with the utility companies to make sure it is a safe environment to issue that permit.”

Engineering also faces small staff issues, which the city is trying to address, plus simple traffic management.

“If you are going to do a project and you have to block streets for some of that project

work, you have to come up with a traffic management plan, and that process can be somewhat of a black hole,” he said. “Applicants don’t understand our review; it takes too long, and they get delayed in starting construction while we figure that out.”

Moving forward, Lambert said he wants to motivate the staff to be facilitators and address any issues raised, and value improvements for all development types, from single-family, remodels to large multi-phased projects.

The permit department will establish clear timeline benchmarks for turnaround on applications, prepare details submittal receipts and summary receipts that outline expectations, give the staff additional training on things like affordable housing and historic preservation and act as facilitators, not regulators, and create a solution-oriented clear and available roadmap.

An applicant will now

get a checklist, not a small receipt, he said, that will be customized and have checkboxes, so they’ll know who is going to review the project.

“We’ll fill in a blank that says your plan check will be done on this date, so they know this is the date that it will be done,” he said. “Our goal will be to meet that deadline every time.”

During public comments, Lindholm congratulated Golden and Lambert for bringing the item forward and is thrilled the change is on the agenda.

“When the Economic Development Corporation of Oxnard (EDCO) closed their doors three years ago, the number of calls we got at the chamber escalation,” she said.

“We used to refer those calls over to EDCO, but we have to track down what’s the project, the case number.”

She supported the staff, who were always helpful, and urged the council to support the item.

Retired Navy Master Chief Jim Daniels spoke to the crowd and was proud to be a Seabee.

“I served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam,” he said.

“My father lied about my age (he was 16 years old) to get me in. It took me two months of arguing with him to get him to sign it.”

He served with many good people during World War II. “I was so young, and they took me under their wings and taught me how to do everything,” he said. “I stayed with it. I was an equipment operator.”

Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlali Diaz carried the flag and said she enjoys the responsibilities and leadership associated with the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Class.

“It’s a place where I can bring out my ambition to rank up,” she said. “I’m only a

freshman, so I’ll see where this path takes me.”

She loves commanding the troop on Memorial Day and honoring the veterans.

“My parents are proud me because I found something I like to do,” she said.

Retired Air Force Veteran John Adamson checked in the VIPs at the event, answered questions and made sure people had coffee.

“We’re here supporting the event, setting up and removing chairs, we’re going to move some band instruments and be here for the community,” Petty Officer 3rd Class Christopher Williams said.

He looks at the day like a remembrance.

“It’s a memorial for our service men and women who have fallen in combat for our country,” he said. “It’s from D-Day to the Green Berets who recently died in Nigeria.

It’s a celebration and a way to remember them and their families.”

As he grows, he wants to serve in front line combat with either the Army or the Marines.

“This program is famous for turning out officers,” he said. “A lot of cadets get credit to go to the naval academy in Annapolis. The vast majority of cadets become officers.

I’m not sure that I want to be an officer. If I do decide to become an officer; I want to do it after enlisting, so I can relate to the people I am leading better.”

He was proud of the crowd attending.

“I was here last year and the year before, and we’ve always had a good showing at this event,” he said. “If you think about it, we are a military community with the Naval Base as our closest neighbor.”

Congresswoman Julia Brownley said the day is hugely important.

“I am honored to participate in this program today,” she said. “Today is a solemn day to remember all the fallen who sacrificed their lives. We also need to remember the families who sacrificed so much. It’s an important day.”

She is going to be part of a delegation that goes to Normandy to celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. “I’m looking forward to the trip,” she said.

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.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that RUSSELL S. SENJACK be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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 6/13/2019 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

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 DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

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.ndscorp.com/ sales, using the file number assigned to this case 19-00219-QQCA. 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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2019

HEALTH California Rep. introduces bill to include dental benefits in Medicare WASHINGTON, D.C.—Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán (CA44) introduced the Medicare Dental Benefit Act of 2019, H.R. 2951, a bill that creates a dental benefit under Medicare Part B. Currently, Medicare does not cover routine oral health care services like checkups, cleanings and x-rays, restorative procedures or dentures.

“Having good oral care is essential to our overall well-being,” said Rep. Barragán. “By increasing access to dental benefits in Medicare, we can mitigate certain health risks and prevent numerous conditions. This bill would repeal the exclusion of dental care on Medicare coverage and provides necessary oral care services to those who need it most—older Americans.”

Two-thirds of the elderly and individuals with disabilities in the Medicare program, often living on a fixed income, do not have oral health coverage. When individuals forego care, their overall health suffers, worsening both oral health conditions that are often painful and chronic disease such as diabetes and heart disease.

This legislation is a companion bill of S.22, introduced by Senator Cardin in January.

The Medicare Dental Benefit Act of 2019 is supported by Families

USA, American Association of Public Heath Dentistry, American Dental Hygienists’ Association, Center for Medicare Advocacy, Children’s Dental

Health Project, Community Catalyst, Justice in Aging, National Dental Association and the Santa Fe Group.

“The Medicare Dental Benefit Act

would add dental coverage to Part B of the Medicare program, meaning that millions of seniors and people with disabilities could access the dental

services the exact same way they are covered for other services they need to support their overall health,” said the organizations.

Overturning Roe v. Wade wouldn't turn back the clock to 1973

By David Crary and Carla K. Johnson A wave of state abortion bans has set off speculation: What would happen if Roe v. Wade, the ruling establishing abortion rights nationwide, were overturned?

Although far from a certainty, even with increased conservative clout on the Supreme Court, a reversal of Roe would mean abortion policy would revert to the states, and many would be eager to impose bans.

What would not happen is a fullfledged turning back of the clock to 1973.

Women now have far more methods to avoid unwanted pregnancies, as well as safer, easier options for abortion.

Many abortions are induced at home with a two-drug combination, and advocacy groups are spreading the word about home abortions using one of the drugs that can be done without a medical professional's involvement.

“I don't think you can put all those different genies back in the bottle,” said medical historian Andrea Tone at McGill University in Montreal.

“Women are in charge of their procreative destiny. I don't think women will put up with the absence of privacy and discretion that birth control and abortion provide.”

Here's a look at some of the abortion-related changes that have unfolded since 1973: __ Technology and science have given women unprecedented options and control over fertility since 1973.

Back then, single women had only recently gained nationwide access to birth control, thanks to a 1972 Supreme Court ruling, said Dr. Sarah Prager, who directs the University of Washington School of Medicine's family planning fellowship.

“This is recent history,” Prager said.

“Now we have these incredibly effective contraceptive methods available.”

A woman can get the morningafter pill without a prescription and keep some in her medicine cabinet for emergencies. Her smartphone sends birth control reminders. Or, if she prefers, a matchstick-size implant gives her no-hassle contraception for years at a time.

Surgical abortion has become safer, employing tools that use vacuum

“If someone is six weeks pregnant, that's not a viable pregnancy,” Davis said. “And some fetuses will never be viable because they have a lethal abnormality and will die after birth.” ___ In the aftermath of Roe, it took years for supporters and opponents of abortion rights to entrench themselves in the polarized camps of today.

Anti-abortion violence didn't erupt immediately after the decision, but it has been a constant since the 1990s, when three abortion providers and three clinic employees were killed in attacks. More recently, Dr. George Tiller, an abortion provider in Wichita, Kansas, was shot to death by an anti-abortion activist in 2009, and a gunman killed three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado in 2015.

There have been major shifts in anti-abortion tactics. Compared with the 1990s, there are fewer mass demonstrations and clinic blockades, and there is far more success passing anti-abortion laws in Republicancontrolled state legislatures. In the five years preceding this year's sweeping bans, scores of other laws have been

passed to restrict abortion access.

Julie Burkhart, a former colleague of Tiller's who now runs an abortion clinic in Wichita, said Kansas—like many GOP-controlled states—now has an array of restrictions that make obtaining abortions more expensive, time-consuming and stressful.

The anti-abortion movement's clout in many state legislatures has now been amplified by Donald Trump's election as president after he promised to support the movement's key goals.

“They don't need to go to the streets anymore, because they really do have a lot of power,” Burkhart said.

Professor Michael New, an abortion opponent who teaches social research at Catholic University of America, said the debate is far more polarized now than in 1973, with fewer Republicans favoring abortion rights and fewer Democrats opposing them.

“Pro-lifers are having an easier time enacting pro-life laws in conservative parts of the country, but for the first time in a long time they have to play defense in blue states,” said New, citing bills passed in New York and Vermont this year expanding access to abortion.

California lawmakers, Governor differ on health care tax pressure rather than scraping. There's increasing use of the medication alternative: Ending a pregnancy with mifepristone and misoprostol now accounts for about 30% of U.S. abortions.

“It's safe and comfortable,” said Missouri resident Lexi Moore, 30, who ended a pregnancy in September with a prescription from Planned Parenthood. “You get to sit in the comfort of your home instead of doing it in a clinic or in a back alley. ... You will have cramps, like a heavy period.

But it's worth it in the end, and you have control over that.” ___ One crucial change since 1973 is the development of ultrasound technology. For many Americans, the first image they now see of a son,

daughter or grandchild is often a sound wave scan of the fetus.

The images change minds about abortion, said Dr. Donna Harrison, executive director of the American Association of Prolife Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

“Ultrasound opens the window on the womb,” Harrison said. “That has changed since 1973. We couldn't see who was in there. Now we can.”

But seeing an ultrasound image doesn't change the biology of fetal development, said Dr. Anne Davis, consulting medical director for Physicians for Reproductive Health.

She disputed the idea that the threshold of viability for a fetus, a concept important in Roe v. Wade, is pushing ever closer to the moment of conception.

SACRAMENTO (AP)—California lawmakers are headed toward a confrontation with first-term Gov. Gavin Newsom over whether to continue a tax that can generate nearly $2 billion for low-income health care benefits.

The state Assembly and Senate budget committees finished their versions of the state's $214 billion annual budget this week. Both of them want to continue a tax on managed care organizations. These organizations manage the state's Medicaid program, the joint federal and state program that provides health coverage for the poor and disabled.

When fully implemented, the tax saves the state about $1.8 billion.

But the tax is set to expire June 30, and California needs permission from the federal government to continue it. Newsom is worried that might not happen and did not include it in his budget proposal.
