ITEM COULD PROVIDE NEEDED REVENUE TO THE CITY

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry A potential payday for the City of Oxnard is waiting in the wings, as the Cannabis study session June 26, showed potentially $1.8 million of additional revenue for the city.

HE study session examined the various types of cannabis industries the city can support along with the fiscal implications that goes along with allowing its use in the city.

The state passed the Adult Use Marijuana Act on Nov. 8, 2016, and the city council approved medical cannabis deliveries in the city on April 3, 2018 but banned all other cannabis uses.

On June 5, the city council voted to put a cannabis tax on the Nov. general election ballot.

Planning & Environmental Services Manager Kathleen Mallory said the city hired HdL Companies to conduct a feasibility analysis in April to determine the types of cannabis use the city would support. HdL maximizes government revenues by providing audits and analytical n Pot Revenue, see page 2

Council Approves 2018-2019 Budget F LY N N I S S U E S WA R N I N G M OV I N G F O RWA R D

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry The Oxnard City Council passed its fiscal year 2018-2019 budget on a unanimous vote June 26, as the council acknowledged that it was on time.

Interim City Manager Jesus Nava said the city proposes a $427.7 million budget.

“It is a balanced budget, and it did require closing a $7.3 million fund in the general fund,” he said.

The budget adoption process consisted of a budget workshop on June 5, a public hearing on

June 19, and the formal adoption on June 26.

The city also plans a five-year CIP Budget that it intends to present to the council this fall.

“Under the leadership of [Interim City Manager] Scott Whitney we did a variety of budget presentations throughout the community at a variety of neighborhood meetings,” Nava said. “We were also able to provide a bunch of financial information to the public.

He said the projected water expenses for the fiscal year 20182019 are $59.07 million.

“The wastewater division is $32.42 million,” he said. “The Environmental Resources projected expense is $44.7 million.”

Nava said the total general fund revenue is $134.2 million, with the most substantial piece of that pie being property tax at $56.6 million, or 42 percent. Sales tax is $31.1 million, or 23 percent.

“The TOT (Transient Occupancy Tax) $5.5 million, is the expectancy for the new year,” he said. “I have pulled request for proposal (RFP) samples for a TOT tax audit, so we will be

formulating an RFP for the TOT tax in the relatively near future.”

Councilman Bert Perello asked when the city last had a TOT audit, and Nava didn’t know.

Nava said the city would expend $134.2 million in fiscal 2018-2019, with the most significant expense going to the police department $57.65 million, or 41 percent.

He said the general fund summary came in balanced.

“We’re beginning the year at $16.9 million, and we have a balanced budget with 34.2 revenues and expenditures, and n Council Approves, see page 7

Council Approves Public Safety Tax Assessment

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry The Oxnard City Counacil wrapped up a long evening at city hall, June 26, and passed the Public Safety Tax Assessment, also known as the Carmen Override.

The assessment is for a portion of the retirement costs for the police and fire departments that aligns with the Carmen Override.

Chief Financial Officer Jim Throop thanked the finance staff during his final trip to the dais, as he is leaving July 17 to be the city manager in Lompoc California.

"The city is blessed with probably the most dedicated finance staff I have ever worked with in my 30 plus years," he said. "Someone will follow me, but that staff is really in the trenches."

He said the Carmen Override Tax is an annual action item.

"Each year, it comes with the budget for approval as we do the regular budget," he said. "This year, we're looking at $12 million being assessed for 2019."

He said they reduced the assessed value by $6, per $100,000 of assessed value.

"If you have a $300,000 house, your savings is going to be about $18," he said. Any little bit helps these days."

Throop said the finance department works with the county to get the tax assessment in place.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez thanked Throop for his service to the city.

“I wish you all the best,” she said. “You’re going to do great up there.”

Traffic Stop Yields

Three Arrests On June 26, at approximately 6:35 p.m., officers from the Special Enforcement Unit attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle for a traffic violation. The vehicle failed to yield, and a pursuit ensued.

T

HE pursuit ended when the driver of the vehicle collided into two parked vehicles on Anita Ave., south of Colonia Rd. The driver, Omar Medina, and the right front passenger, Jesus Morales, immediately fled from the collision and discarded handguns as they fled. Medina discarded his handgun in the area of a crowded courtyard of an apartment complex with several small children present.

Medina and Morales were both apprehended after brief foot pursuits.

The third occupant, Uriel Barrera,

remained in the vehicle. Barrera is on parole and was arrested for violating the terms of his supervised release.

Medina was charged with felony evading, hit and run, possession of a loaded handgun, and other weapons charges. Morales, who is also on parole, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a high capacity magazine, and other weapons violations. All occupants are documented criminal street gang members.

The Oxnard Police Department’s Special Enforcement Unit is committed to reducing gang crimes and gun violence in the City of Oxnard through the strict enforcement of laws specifically targeting known, active gang members residing in the city.

Anyone with information regarding criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7600, or you can remain anonymous by calling the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at (800) 2228477.

services.

“The report also outlines cannabis considerations based upon different cannabis industries, and should the city be developing regulations and presenting them to you in the future,” she said.

The city established an internal cannabis subcommittee in Feb. 2018, she said, that had representatives from the police and fire departments, along with the business licensing and finance offices, the city attorney’s office and planning commission to study the issue.

The report revealed that retail manufacturing, testing, distribution and cultivation would be supported in the city, and HdL examined the pros and cons with those uses.

“Over the past few months, the city has been receiving an increasing number of public inquiries regarding opening cannabis related businesses, retail, and manufacturing, as well as distribution,” she said. “Since council direction was to take a go-slow approach, staff has been monitoring what other communities are doing to address this cannabis issue. We’ve also been reviewing the best practices that other communities have been doing to address that issue.”

Mallory said the go-slow approach about cannabis puts the city in a good position and if the council supports the item the staff will develop landuse controls and buffer regulations.

The report the Oxnard is wellsituated between Santa Barbara County which has the biggest supply of cannabis and Los Angeles, which has the greatest demand.

She said Santa Barbara County has the largest number of licensed cultivators in the state.

“The cultivation sector is oversaturated, as the number of permitted cultivators exceeds projected market demands by three to four times,” Mallory said. “Oxnard is well situated to attract distribution and manufacturing businesses.”

She said the rise in ready to use cannabis products, like foods, oils and drinks is driven by the manufacturing process.

“Manufacturing cannabis operations represents over 50 percent of all cannabis sales by price, she said.

Retail cannabis in the city is currently prohibited, which is licensed to sell goods to consumers as a retailer, microbusiness or non-profit. The report said Oxnard would support between 8 and 18 retailers, with a maximum of 8 dispensaries.

“The retail business can be either located in a retail storefront, like in a shopping center or in a stand alone retail storefront,” she said. Retail locations can generate substantial revenues compared to other retail outlets.”

The report said that cannabis can be licensed like alcohol in the city.

“We have a very robust review system with the police department, and coupled with the planning permit, it puts in place stringent conditions that are continuously monitored,” she said.

HdL reports that cannabis manufacturing is evolving, and Oxnard can support between 6 and 12 manufacturing businesses.

“We know the city has raw industrial land, and we do have the ability to facilitate industrial construction,” Mallory said. “We’re currently updating our industrial code and we’ve been working with the industrial business community and we know we have an industrial building vacancy rate between one and three percent. That’s a real issue to be considered if the city advances manufacturing.”

She said there are hazards and safety risks associated with manufacturing and operations that can be addressed through state and local regulations.

“The industry also shows there has been past problems with manufacturing because of the way the permit systems were issued,” she said. “The state’s added requirements to deal with chemicals has improved significantly. It used to be a con, but it’s getting better in how they deal with that.”

The report said that Oxnard is attractive to Cannabis distributors.

She said security measures that address public safety are imperative.

“It can be developed and implemented through conditions of approval,” Mallory said. “In order for this to be successful, other Cannabis industries such as manufacturing and retail establishments would need to be in operational in the city. It’s a bit challenging to have one without the other.”

HdL reported the city can support three distributors with between $150,000 and $225,000 of annual city revenue.

“We picked a low number to be conservative in what the city can support,” Mallory said. “Conservatively, the city looked at supporting one testing laboratory (which measures chemicals and items not in keeping with state product standards) which would generate between $20,000 and $50,000 in annual revenue.”

She said Cannabis cultivation (planting, growing, drying, curing, grading and trimming of Cannabis plant) would likely be indoors because of the climate.

“The cultivators are going inside industrial buildings, and they are taking industrial lands with good ventilation systems and they are taking industrial land use for the indoor grow approach,” she said. “Conservatively, the city can support two indoor cultivation sites and generate between $224,000 and $320,000 annually.”

Mallory said if the council supports the item, they would consider it in Jan. 2019.

During public comments, Gabriel Teran said the go-slow approach is a good approach.

“The alcohol licensing model can be used, and along those lines, ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) places a minimum distance of 600 feet Cannabis businesses and youth sensitive locations such as schools, parks and community centers,” he said.

Joe Kyle said he hopes the city looks at retail, distribution cultivation and manufacturing.

“I understand the go-slow approach,” he said. “A lot of cities

in this county has taken the so-slow approach.”

He said there has been a lot of different numbers for cultivation.

“Everything I’ve seen so far is only looking at the medical need, and not the medical and recreational need,” he said.

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said the item is a revenue vehicle in the city.

“As a social issue, some residents may be against it based on their upbringing,” he said. “No matter what, it is in the city, legal or not and we as a city has to find a way to make it work for everyone. We need to make this as safe as possible, we need to be smart with what we do, and we need to make this fair and at the same time not throw it all on one part of the city.”

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez praised the presentation and said the speakers during public comments raised important issues.

“If it’s going to be available to the public for medical and recreation it needs to be a safe product,” she said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said people think he is closedminded because of his law enforcement background, but what people do in their own home is their own business.

“Some cultures have used this substance for centuries,” he said. “This is not something new that has come on the market in the last 60-90 days.”

He supports a cautious approach.

“My wife and I were in a city we were unfamiliar with and I Googled it and found one in the city we were in and we drove to it and see what it’s like,” he said. “You can go in, but I’m not going in.”

MacDonald said his wife walked in and asked if it was a medical marijuana facility and it was then she walked out.

“On the way out, a person from the lobby followed her and was yelling at her across the parking lot,” he said.

“My wife gets in the car and the next thing I know this person is banging on the passenger side window.”

He rolled down his window and said the person offered a cell number.

“I can set you up with anything you need,” he said. “Those are the types of things I worry about that can happen in our community. We need to make sure we have the right regulations in place should we move forward with this.”

Councilman Bert Perello said he has a lot of experience with someone who has grand mal seizures and marijuana allows him to have a normal life.

“If we have the interim city manager, the police chief, advocating there are three forms that we can increase the pie, so we can move forward, this is one of them, and we are going to charry pick on what we do and what we don’t do, I don’t want to wait,” he said. “I happen to agree with Councilman Madrigal. If we’re going to get into it, we get into it.”

Mayor Tim Flynn said his biggest concern is retail.

“That’s were the majority of revenue is generated,” he said. “Just under half of all the anticipated revenue is from retail. Several years ago, Governor Brown was asked if he supported the legalization of marijuana before this proposition was passed, and his response was that if California expects to be competitive in the 21st century he didn’t think that a large number of people getting high was going to be consistent with being competitive in the new world economy.”

He said retail outlets can cause public safety challenges.

“If a younger person has an older brother or sister that’s over 21, there’s a possibility that alcohol is going to get in their hands,” he said. “I’m concerned about the kids in Oxnard.

The academic performance of too many kids in Oxnard is already way too low. Marijuana is not going to help kids be competitive in the 21st century. I do not support a retail outlet in the City of Oxnard. I would probably support a research facility; a manufacturing facility may be another and maybe a distribution facility.”

High Court OKs Trump’s Travel Ban, Rejects Muslim Bias Claim WASHINGTON—A sharply divided Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump’s ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries Tuesday, the conservative majority taking his side in a major ruling supporting his presidential power.

T

HE 5-4 decision was a big victory for Trump in the court’s first substantive ruling on one of his administration’s policies. It also was the latest demonstration of a newly invigorated conservative majority and a bitter defeat for the court’s liberals.

The ruling came on an issue that has been central for Trump, from his campaign outbursts against “radical Islamic terrorism” through his presidency. He tweeted a quick reaction—“Wow!”—and then celebrated at greater length before TV cameras.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion for the five conservative justices, including Trump nominee Neil Gorsuch, who got his seat only after Republicans blocked President Barack Obama’s nominee for the last 10 months of Obama’s term.

Roberts wrote that the travel ban was well within U.S. presidents’ considerable authority over immigration and responsibility for keeping the nation safe. He rejected the challengers’ claim of anti-Muslim bias that rested in large part on Trump’s own tweets and statements over the past three years.

But Roberts was careful not to endorse either Trump’s statements about immigration in general or Muslims in particular, including his campaign call for “a complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”

“We express no view on the

soundness of the policy,” Roberts wrote.

The travel ban has been fully in place since December, when the justices put the brakes on lower court rulings that had ruled the policy out of bounds and blocked part of it from being enforced.

It applies even to people with close relatives in the United States and other strong connections to the country.

In a dissent she summarized aloud in court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, “History will not look kindly on the court’s misguided decision today, nor should it.” Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan also dissented.

Sotomayor wrote that based on the evidence in the case “a reasonable observer would conclude that the Proclamation was motivated by anti-Muslim animus.” She said her colleagues in the majority arrived at the opposite result by “ignoring the facts, misconstruing our legal precedent

and turning a blind eye to the pain and suffering the Proclamation inflicts upon countless families and individuals, many of whom are United States citizens.”

She likened the case to the discredited Korematsu V. U.S. decision that upheld the detention of JapaneseAmericans during World War II. Roberts responded in his opinion that “Korematsu has nothing to do with this case” and “was gravely wrong the day it was decided.”

The travel ban was among the court’s biggest cases this term and the latest in a string of 5-4 decisions in which the conservative side of the court, bolstered by the addition of Gorsuch last year, prevailed. He was chosen by Trump after Republicans in the Senate refused to grant a hearing to federal appeals Judge Merrick Garland who was nominated by Obama in March 2016.

Black Clergy Jailed and Shackled for Supreme Court Prayer Protest

By Julianne Malveaux Faith and prayer have been the backbone of the African American community since we came upon these shores. We have counted on our faith leaders (the roll call would include Revs. Richard Allen, Absalom Jones, James Walker Hood, Martin Luther King, Jr., Wyatt Tee Walker, Jesse L. Jackson, William Barber, Vashti McKenzie, Barbara Williams Skinner and many others) to articulate the justness of our cause and to mobilize us to work for the justice that is called for in the New Testament, especially in Matthew 25: 35-45. Our ministers are revered leaders who often stand in the face of injustice.

We are not surprised, and indeed, encouraged, when their firm stands in the face of oppression lead to collisions with the law. Still, when faith leaders are treated harshly, it forces us to examine the injustice in our system. When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote the “Letter from the Birmingham Jail” in 1963, he chided White ministers who made a public statement about his methods, suggesting that segregation should be fought in the courts, not in the streets. His letter moved the White faith community to confront some of the injustices of segregation and to form alliances with the Civil Rights movement.

King spent eleven days in the Birmingham jail in extremely harsh conditions. However, the oppressor does not learn from its excesses.

On June 12, nine faith leaders were shackled and held for 27 hours after being arrested for praying at the Supreme Court. The multicultural group of men and women are part of

Rev. William Barber’s Poor People’s these clergies were treated. Yet, but have been exacerbated by Campaign ( A National Call for their actions and those of the Poor the depravity he represents.

Their effort is to bring People’s Campaign are writing rousing address that wove humor, attention to the amazing inequality the contemporary letter from statistics, public analysis and a and moral bankruptcy of our nation. the Birmingham jail.

Who would have thought that and given the injustices, this court economic expansion.

Like Dr. King’s Poor People’s nine faith leaders would be among continues to perpetuate.

Like Dr. King, the nine who campaign, this 21st century Poor the rejected? Who would have were arrested—Poor People’s People’s Campaign, launched fifty thought that Dr. King would have been? But Dr. King eagerly Campaign co-chair the Rev. embraced the status of Liz Theoharis, D.C. clergy To shackle clergy simply for “rejected.” He once preached, the Revs. Jimmie Hawkins, “I choose to identify with Graylan Hagler and William praying is to exhibit a peculiar the underprivileged.

I choose to give City)—were subjected to extremely racism, and militarism, and also my life for those who have been left harsh conditions. No threat to ecological devastation and our out of the sunlight of opportunity.”

Rev. Liz Theoharis told Democracy anyone, they were shackled, placed nation’s “moral devastation.”

At the 2018 Rainbow PUSH Now’s Amy Goodman that the in handcuffs and leg irons, confined to roach-infested cells with nothing International convention on June conditions she and fellow clergy to rest their heads on, but a metal 15, Rev. Barber railed against experienced, while uncomfortable, slab. This is the 21st century, but interlocking injustices that did were the same conditions poor you wouldn’t know it by the way not begin with our 45th President, inmates experienced. That’s the

power, in some ways, of the Poor People’s Campaign. Clergy and others are forcing the issue, lifting their voices, making connections, claiming the discomfort and pain of the rejected, embracing the fact that they, too, are among the rejected.

To shackle clergy simply for praying is to exhibit a peculiar form of cruelty and inhumanity.

Shackling is reminiscent of enslavement; shackling is a method of humiliation; shackling is an attempt to use the harsh lash of unjust law on the backs of those who pray for just law. Rev. William Lamar IV, who has been arrested on three consecutive Mondays for protest action said that the June 12 arrests and treatment were the harshest, he has yet experienced.

In Washington, D.C., people who are arrested for protesting are usually given a ticket that requires a court appearance and a likely fine. What did the shackling say about the hallowed sacredness of the “Supreme” Court?

Shackling clergy for praying is like condemning the Sun for shining. Unjust law enforcement can shackle arms and legs, but not movements. Harsh treatment of leaders in the Poor People’s Champaign only strengthens resistance against injustice, racism, poverty, and ecological devastation.

Federal Regulator Ready to Reform CRA but Won’t Say If Discrimination Exists

By Charlene Crowell When the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was enacted in 1977, urban disinvestment, redlining and blockbusting were widespread across the country. Credit was also tight in rural communities where the mortgage needs of rural residents were mostly served by smaller banks. In both types of communities, little oversight paid attention to fair lending.

For communities of color, CRA was welcomed with hopes that banking and credit needs would be as fair as they were accessible.

Clearly CRA was intended to address lending discrimination aimed at individuals and businesses in low-to-moderate income communities.

Years later when the law was amended in 1992, meeting the credit needs of all communities was added to the criteria covered in bank examinations. Investments with minority-owned financial institutions was also added and included Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian-Americans and multi-racially-owned banks.

Yet when the Trump-appointed Comptroller of the Currency, Joseph Otting testified in a House Financial Services Committee hearing on June 13, he dodged questions about whether he believed discrimination exists in America. Instead, Otting responded by saying he had never personally observed discrimination but had heard about it from others.

Rapid reactions followed Otting’s comments.

“While you may be fortunate enough to have never personally

witnessed discrimination, it is alarming that an individual entrusted with regulating institutions that provide critical financial services to a broad range of constituencies appears shockingly unfamiliar with the rationale behind the promulgation of specific regulations aimed to address the problem,” wrote U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus to Otting later that week.

“The CRA has done important work to drive financial equity and ensure banks serve all communities where they have a financial footprint,” noted Scott Astrada, Federal Advocacy Director with the Center for Responsible Lending.

“Comptroller Otting’s proposal to radically restructure the law should be closely scrutinized because, given his remarks, he is apparently oblivious to the historic and systemic discrimination that the CRA was enacted to eliminate.”

As an independent bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department, OCC regulates, and supervises all 1,300 national banks, federal savings associations and federal branches of foreign banks. An agency staff of 4,000 employees works with the Comptroller who also and concurrently serves as a director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, member of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, and the Federal Financial

Institutions Examination Council.

By Marian Edelman Wright The past week saw a new level of evil and political degradation at the American border with the unbearable images of crying children being taken away from their desperate parents and locked up in “tender age shelters” and warehouses, with some even kept in cages. For many people of faith, the suggestion that the God of the Scriptures would somehow endorse the Trump administration’s callous cruelty towards children and immigrant families is literally beyond belief. The Hebrew Scriptures stress over and over the importance of welcoming the stranger since we were once strangers ourselves.

You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. If you do abuse them, when they cry out to me, I will surely heed their cry...

(Exodus 22:21-25) You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing; when you bear witness in a lawsuit, you shall not side with the majority so as to pervert justice…

You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

(Exodus 23:2 and 23:9) When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. (Leviticus 19:33) In the New Testament, when Jesus was asked about the law, he taught that the ultimate guiding principle and commandment is love.

“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40)

Silence encourages the tormentor, In the book of Romans, the Wiesel: passage that immediately precedes I remember he asked his father: never the tormented. Sometimes we one quoted recently by Attorney “Can this be true? This is the must interfere. When human lives General Jeff Sessions describes the twentieth century, not the Middle are endangered, when human dignity marks of a true person of faith – Ages.

Neutrality helps the life of even one innocent child. words of Holocaust survivor Elie the oppressor, never the victim. Love and human decency trump

hate. Love and family trump politics.

Love and compassion trump unjust treatment of the smallest and most vulnerable among us. The President of the United States has brought shame on America with his reckless disregard of our most vulnerable young children entrusted to our care.

While the President’s June 20th Executive Order states it is the policy of this Administration “to maintain family unity,” he fails to clarify how they will keep parents and children together in the future and describe actions they will take to reunite the more than 2,500 children who have been cruelly separated from their parents and in many cases sent to distant states. It should cause us all great concern when we hear they will seek permission from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the Flores settlement, which defines existing standards for appropriate treatment of unaccompanied minors, to allow them to hold these children without their parents longer term and in unlicensed facilities.

This immoral tragedy must end with children returned to their parents immediately. And all of us must do everything we can to let these children know that they are not alone, that we are not forgetting them, and we will speak up and take whatever action is required to reunite them with their families and reunite our political leaders and nation with their sense of moral decency and caring for these beleaguered children and parents. A nation that does not stand for children does not stand for anything and will not stand guiltless before the God of history and all great faiths.

NAACP on the Civil Rights Front Lines: Trump’s War against Civil Rights

By Derrick Johnson President/CEO, NAACP BALTIMORE—Recently, the NAACP, alongside members of the Congressional Black Caucus, gathered on the steps of Capitol Hill to demand a halt of the Trump administration’s continued attempts to force Thomas Farr—a known racist with ties to the late segregationist Senator Jesse Helms— into the federal judgeship of North Carolina.

Located in eastern North Carolina, this federal district under this judgeship has one of the highest densities of African American voters than any other part of the state, making Farr one of the worst possible candidates that could be considered. Sadly, instead of representing an anomaly, Farr instead represents the archetype for federal judge nominees put forth by the Trump Administration.

Whether it’s nominees that refuse to publicly support the Brown v. Board decision that desegregated our public schools or individuals with ties to known racist organizations, what we are seeing are people whose attitudes reflect norms more associated with the era of Jim Crow than our time.

It cannot be ignored that Trump’s White House is engaged in none other than a war against civil rights. Though this is a battle we had hoped to have ended by now, it is not a fight we are afraid of nor is it one we will lose. We have waged war against the foes of civil rights for over 109 years. We fought hard against the nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions to the office of Attorney General and we will continue to fight against Trump’s nearly all-white and mostly male federal judge nominees. Mr. Sessions’ redirection of the Department of Justice (DOJ) away from its civil rights commitment under the Obama Administration to an agency that condones police brutality and other racially

based injustices is hardly surprising. We likely be once again undercounted. When knew he would push the DOJ to withdraw this happens, our communities lose out on its support for our legal cases against voter political representation, federal dollars, and suppression and he did. The simple point is resources that are rightfully ours. We’ve also that these moves against civil rights cannot taken the fight to this administration on the be divorced from decision by Secretary of his boss—President Education, Betsy DeVos We’ve extended an Trump. and the Department of Over the past few Education to basically invitation to President months, the NAACP throw civil rights Trump to attend our has sued the Trump under the bus and administration arbitrarily determine convention and once on its failure to that the department again he has declined. no longer has to properly prepare for Census2020.

This investigate complaints failure to prepare for the Census means that of discrimination in our schools. We are also communities of color, including wealthy committed to ensuring that DeVos plans communities like Prince Georges County, for privatization, plans that would destroy Maryland, our partner in the lawsuit, will our public-school system, never come to

completion.

There is a direct correlation between the racism emanating from the White House and the expansion of attacks on the humanity of persons of color. This is clear not only from Trump’s poisonous rhetoric that disparages people, cultures, and nations, but also in the policies that emanate from his office.

The infection of blatant racist speech and behavior began the day after Trump was elected and it has continued to spread, giving inspiration to closet bigots and encouraging implicit and explicit racial biases that pervade from the golf course to the coffee shop and every space in between.

During our 109th Annual Convention July 14-18 in San Antonio, Texas, the NAACP will bring together some of our nation’s most brilliant minds, activists, and legislators, as well as powerful voices from the hip-hop community to map out the agenda for moving forward. Our goal is to unite our voices into a powerful symphony that resonates with communities of color and inspires them to join us in standing against government-sponsored hate. This year’s theme is simply “Defeat Hate—Vote.”

We’ve extended an invitation to President Trump to attend our convention and once again he has declined. His refusal to address the nation’s premier civil rights organization and its hundreds of thousands of advocates is, by default, a refusal to speak to the entirety of the Black Community. Regardless, we remain “unshook” and “woke,” in terms of the challenges we face and must overcome in this administration and we’re up for the fight.

All we ask of you is to join us to “Make Democracy Work.” Pledge to vote by texting NAACP to 40649.

OPED Putting America First (Again)

By Kevin Brooks Everybody’s talking about putting America first lately. And like every other hot-button issue of the day, everybody has an opinion about it.

You’re either for it or against it; it’s great or it’s terrible; it’s a xenophobic dog-whistle or just plain, simple common sense.

Depending on the color and opacity of your bubble.

The News used to be 22 daily minutes of FCC-mandated airtime that Dad drowsed to as he dove into his first six-pack after work. Today it’s a 24/7 all-access entertainment industry; sponsored, incentivized and tarted-up like Björk goes to Mardi Gras. Whatever bubble you’re in, you can be sure it’s full of your bubble’s spin on The News of the day.

So, what is it that’s infotaining enough to make cross-bubble headlines in the summer of 2018?

• Our Democracy’s most recent national election was very successfully compromised by a foreign adversary—our long-time nemesis and “Evil Empire”—and one of the two national political parties with the means to investigate exactly what happened in order to implement prophylactic measures against a similar attack occurring again this year just. Isn’t. Interested.

• On the other hand, there has been a Special Counsel investigating the election tampering bearing down on the new President almost since Day One. The new President has responded by doing everything he can to impede and discredit the investigation and its investigators personally, including impugning the integrity of every branch of our country’s intelligence services and inciting crowds at campaign rallies against members of the media in their midst.

• The United States government is proactively working to estrange itself from all its closest international

allies of the last 75 years and at the same time, cozying up to the most reprehensible nuclear-armed international bad actors and tyrants alive.

• Maybe coincidentally, a quirky first in American politics since Reconstruction; the candidate with the official backing of both the KKK and the American Nazi party won the Presidency on the Republican t i c k e t , formerly the party of Lincoln.

• An eleven-day period of time is now commonly referred to as a “Mooch.”

This doesn’t sound like a chapter in an American history book, it sounds like the prologue of a dystopian sci-fi beach read.

At its best, America has always been aspirational. We’ve set lofty goals and we’ve fallen short of them… but we’ve set lofty goals. There was a sad grandeur even in our failure

What chapter of “The Fall of the American Empire” do we have to get to before Conservative patriots begin peeling away from the partisans? to achieve them. I never idealized America for its lofty ambitions nor condemned it for failing to meet said goals, but I always respected us for trying. For saying, “Dammit, we care about doing better; we stand for

something bigger. Come on, watch us give it our best shot!”

To completely renege on the covenant we made with the world at the

e n d of WWII to be its democratic exemplars is the very definition of un-American.

Americans lead, we don’t quit the game and go home; we tried that 100 years ago and our isolationist policies at that time helped enable two world wars in 20 years. Now we’re ready to sit back on the sidelines and watch it all happen again, this time with nuclearpowered adversaries?

I thought this administration’s slogan was, “Make America Great Again,” not “Make the Same Mistake Again.”

I’m afraid we are about hipdeep in a paradigm shift. That the America our grandkids grow up in isn’t going to resemble the

America our grandparents grew up in even remotely. But elections have consequences, and although the eventual winner never agreed to honor the results if they didn’t go his way, most Americans turned out to be better citizens than that.

Speaking of the 2016 election, I think it’s critical to remind people that the country never got together and said, “Let’s fundamentally re-direct the course and definition of American democracy!”

We (enough of us) got together and said, “Man, do we hate Hillary Clinton!” So the collective ‘we’ denied her the Presidency.

The rest of us get it now. Point made, loud and clear. Hillary = bad.

B u t contrary to what o n e might think if all one consumed was conservative media, Hillary Clinton lost the election. She’s not President now, nor will she ever be. Mission accomplished! Yay! [insert: party hats thrown in the air] So with the alleged existential threat to the nation’s existence that Hillary represented having been quashed, we’re already late to correct course and say, “Now it is our duty to deal with the monster we created to crush the one we destroyed.”

It’s past time for the villagers to revolt again.

Specifically, I’m calling on conscientious members of the GOP, both rank and file as well as elected office-holders, to please take off their partisan red ballcaps and put their statesmans’ hats back on again before

it’s too late.

Just because you voted for the guy doesn’t mean you have to stick with him like he’s the home town sports franchise. Your home town sports franchise is Democracy, not party or politician.

For example, nobody supported Bill Clinton with more zeal than I during Monicagate. No one believed his glib denials more sincerely. But the second the smoking stained-bluedress hit the Zeitgeist—and revealed to me that I had been deliberately misled, repeatedly—I had no option but to follow the objective truth even if it damned my cause.

Especially because it damned my cause.

Why did I stop defending Bill Clinton’s use of his Oval Office personal time? Because there was no alternative; I’d been defending a proposition based on a lie. If I had chosen to set aside an uncomfortable but objectively true fact for what would have amounted to brand loyalty, I’d have no one to blame but myself when I couldn’t look in the mirror. When my leader turned out to be lying to my face with malice aforethought on matters of substance, I no longer owed him my fealty. Betray my trust once, shame on you…

What chapter of “The Fall of the American Empire” do we have to get to before 2018’s Conservative patriots begin peeling away from the partisans?

Buyers’ remorse is nothing to be embarrassed about, especially when avoiding dealing with it is enabling the further deconstruction of the inclusive, Norman Rockwell American Dream most of us grew up believing in and aspiring to.

My Conservative friends are going to love President Pence; he is absolutely their kind of fella and will be so much easier to defend at Thanksgiving dinner.

‘Put America First’? Yes, let’s!

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

Council Approves continued from page 1

an estimated ending fund balance of $16.9 million which represents 13 percent. At this point, we are not meeting our 18 percent council goal.”

Nava said since the June 5, budget workshop, the retention and visitors bureau took a 10 percent discount, with a corresponding reduction in summer concerts which saved $5.88 million.

“For police, we reinstated the contract security hours for the library and downtown,” he said.

That was a $90,000 increase in the budget, he said, along with an $86,000 raise for the Carnegie Art Museum.

“There was a couple of other reductions, 160,000 for the PACC (Performing Art &Convention Center) subsidy, the vacant librarian position which was talked about and then some additional savings in community arts and community services.”

He said there was $1.5 million in additional revenue, and reductions totaling $2.6 million and a total decrease of $5.8 million.

“In terms of Measure O the estimated 2017-2018 fund balance is $12.7 million, and the proposed 2018-2019 revenue is $16.9 million.

“There was some estimated carryover of a little less than $2 million, we have proposed expenditures at $18 million, and $9.37 million is the estimated ending cash balance,” he said.

During public comments, Woodrow Thomas Senior thanked the council and staff for their participation and honesty.

“You guys need to give the chief (Scott Whitney) a bonus or something, 10 percent,” he said. “He did an awesome job.”

Thomas said the first time the budget was introduced the presentation lasted about 4 hours.

“I was getting sleepy, but the bottom line is he did an excellent job, we’re moving forward in terms of an assistant city manager,” he said.

Thomas doesn’t support year-round housing.

“If you’re a person and you’re on drugs, and you know that you don’t have to pay rent, I’ll just go over here and stay at this place because it’s free, and you get a free meal and shower, you’re not going to have to pay rent," he said. "You don’t want to promote that. You want to make sure that person gets safe

and secure housing that’s up to standards, and you want to hold the landlord’s feet to the fire to make sure that whoever owns that property is safe and secure for section 8 or public housing paying out money.”

Councilman Oscar Madrigal thanked the staff for all their hard work.

“I know difficult choices had to be made because of the cuts involved,” he said. “I know the staff worked their magic with the situation that was given to them.”

He acknowledged that some staff might not be happy with the budget.

“I can say that upper management did the best they could with what was given to them,” he said. “I think this is a step in the right direction for the city, and hopefully we can work together and make the city a whole lot better.”

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said she supports the budget, but it is not set in concrete.

“If we have to make changes and adjustments because of things that might happen or don’t happen, we will have to do that,” she said.” No human being is losing their job.”

She said the city is supporting homeless services.

“I watched the board of supervisors meeting last week, and that was a topic,” she said.

“We have the county chipping in, the City of Ventura and our city.”

She looks forward to everyone supporting local businesses.

“Shop local, that helps our city,” she said. “Don’t throw trash in the street, don’t do graffiti, get your dogs and cats licensed, and be good to each other.”

Councilman Bryan MacDonald thanked the staff for their work.

“I support this budget,” he said.

Councilman Bert Perello thanked Interim City Manager Scott Whitney for his efforts.

“The last six months have been a change from what we had before,” he said. “Mr. Nyhoff deserves some credit, but since you came on board, a lot of things have been daylighted, and from the looks on other council members faces, they may not have known about it also.”

He said there could have been more severe cuts and Ramirez is right.

“We don’t know what is going to happen in the future,”

he said. “Let’s take the last couple of months; we had a sewer plant with a 42-inch pipeline that broke, we have Channel Islands Harbor, we don’t know how much that’s going to cost. Our City of Oxnard has been gifted with challenges, and we have tremendous teams.”

He cited the Red Team that Whitney started.

“We have people in the house that can fix it,” Perello said. “We don’t have to go outside to consultants; we don’t have to get outside people and spend money for results that we are a little embarrassed about.”

Perello said there is money set aside for labor, and there is a significant difference in the labor negotiations.

“I suggest right now there should be a council member, it doesn’t have to be me, but there should be a council member in these negotiations to bring some peace of mind to the rest of the council members that have to trust the labor negotiators we have and the information that comes back,” he said. “I believe the same thing has happened with past city managers; it’s filtered and often half-truths.”

He said some people are asking for things that can’t be delivered during the labor negotiations.

Mayor Tim Flynn thanked the finance department for their hard work.

“Chief Whitney did a remarkable job, and Councilman Perello is correct,” Flynn said. “He was able to touch on some issues that have been taboo here in city government. Not just here in Oxnard, they’re difficult topics to talk about.”

He suggested making adjustments for the mid-year budget.

“One of the major problems the city had is we should have made cuts into the recession, we didn’t make those cut, and people had to go to the public and say all these funds that should have had reserves, those are gone.”

Perello interjected that $16 million had to be taken out of Measure O to backfill.

“We have yet to get a real clear why or who,” he said.

“Mr. Nava has given me some information that if we had that $16 million, it would be a different story in the City of Oxnard.”

Flynn said there shouldn’t be any hiding money when it comes to labor negotiations.

“All the bargaining units say this is what we have, and this is what we have to do,” he said. “For those cities that did not make appropriate decisions in the State of California that led to bankruptcy; they did not have the wherewithal or the courage to make the right decisions, they buckled under pressure, and their governments failed. They failed the residents and they failed the employees they seek to serve. It’s going to be very important in the next six months that we get ready to batten down the hatches.

That’s the bottom line for me.”

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 PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Edward PongraczBartha be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 11, 2018 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard, Oxnard, CA 93036.

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

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

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

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

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 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007421712.

FIGUEROA. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ALBERTO ARRIOLA in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ALBERTO ARRIOLA be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 8/1/2018 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

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

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

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

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

Koko the Gorilla Used Smarts, Empathy to Help Change Views

By Seth Borenstein and Janie Har SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Koko the gorilla, whose remarkable sign-language ability and motherly attachment to pet cats helped change the world's views about the intelligence of animals and their capacity for empathy, has died at 46.

K

OKO was taught sign language from an early age as a scientific test subject and eventually learned more than 1,000 words, a vocabulary similar to that of a human toddler.

She became a celebrity who played with the likes of William Shatner, Sting, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams and Mr. Rogers. At her home preserve, where she was treated like a queen, she ran around with Williams' eyeglasses and unzipped Rogers' famous cardigan sweater.

In so doing, Koko showed the American public that a giant ape didn't have to be scary but wanted to be tickled and hugged.

The Gorilla Foundation said the 280-pound western lowland gorilla died in her sleep at the foundation's preserve in California's Santa Cruz mountains Tuesday.

Koko was the not the first animal to learn sign language and communicate, but through books and media appearances she became the most famous. Yet there was debate in the scientific community about how deep and human-like her conversations were.

Koko appeared in many documentaries, including a 2015 PBS one, and twice in National Geographic. The gorilla's 1978 National Geographic cover featured a photo that the animal had taken of

herself in a mirror.

“Koko the individual was supersmart, like all the apes, and also sensitive, something not everyone expected from a ‘king kong' type animal that movies depict as dangerous and formidable,” Emory University primate researcher Frans de Waal said in an email Thursday.

“It changed the image of apes, and gorillas in particular, for the better, such as through the children's book ‘Koko's Kitten' that may young people have grown up with. To view apes as nice and caring was new to the public and a big improvement.”

Koko watched movies and television, with her handlers saying her favorite book was “The Three Little Kittens,” her favorite movies included the Eddie Murphy version of “Doctor Doolittle” and “Free Willy,” and her favorite TV show was “Wild Kingdom.”

For her 25th birthday, she asked for and received a box of rubber snakes. In 1996, she even asked to be a mother. Despite attempts by her keepers to introduce male partners, Koko never became a mother. Instead, she had a series of kittens as pets.

The first was named All Ball, a gray and white tail-less kitten, given to Koko for her birthday in 1984. Other cats followed after All Ball's death, but researchers reported that the gorilla kept “mourning” the original cat years later.

Koko's real name was Hanabi-Ko, Japanese for fireworks child. She was born July 4, 1971, at the San Francisco Zoo. Francine Patterson was working on her doctoral dissertation on the linguistic capabilities of gorillas and in 1972 started to teach Koko sign language. Patterson and biologist Ronald Cohn moved Koko to their newly established preserve in 1974 and kept teaching and studying her, adding a male gorilla in 1979.

In 2004, Koko used American Sign Language to communicate that her mouth hurt and used a pain scale of 1 to 10 to show how badly it hurt.

“Koko represents what language may have been 5 million years ago for people,” Cohn said in 1996. “That's the time that gorillas and humans separated in evolution.”

Other scientists, such as Herbert Terrace at Columbia University, who raised and taught sign language to a primate named Nim Chimpksy (a play on the name of the linguist

Noam Chomsky), argued in scientific and popular literature that most of Koko's conversations and those of other primates were “not spontaneous but solicited by questions from her teachers and companions.”

“Scientists have often complained about possible overinterpretation of Koko's sign language utterances and the lack of proper documentation of what she has said when and how,” deWaal said in an email, adding that “coaching and interpretation by the people around her” may have altered her messages at times.

But the science, deWaal said, was “irrelevant to Koko's pop-image. ...

Koko's passing is the end of an era, and a genuine loss.”

Koko frequently asked to see people's nipples, a habit that led to controversy more than a dozen years ago, when two former caretakers said they were fired for refusing to bare their breasts to the gorilla. The women settled with the foundation in 2005.

Video shows Koko grabbing for

Williams' chest area and Shatner's groin.

Williams, another San Francisco Bay area legend, met Koko in 2001 and called it a “mind-altering experience.”

The two held hands and tickled each other in a widely shared video.

“We shared something extraordinary: Laughter,” he said. He called it “awesome and unforgettable.”

Williams killed himself in 2014.

Patterson later said she didn't plan on telling Koko about Williams' death, but the gorilla overheard conversation and then later “mourned” the actor by going silent and sullen.

Koko knew about death, primary researcher Patterson said in 2015, relaying in The Atlantic a conversation Koko had with another caretaker: “The caregiver showed Koko a skeleton and asked, ‘Is this alive or dead?' Koko signed, ‘Dead, draped.'

‘Draped' means ‘covered up.' Then the caregiver asked, ‘Where do animals go when they die?' Koko said, ‘A comfortable hole.' Then she gave a kiss goodbye.”

House Approves Bill Expanding Treatment for Opioid Abuse

By Kevin Freking WASHINGTON (AP)—The House has overwhelmingly approved legislation designed to give health care providers more tools to stem an opioid crisis that is killing more than 115 people in the United States daily.

The legislation passed Friday by a vote of 396-14. It incorporates dozens of opioidrelated bills that lawmakers have made a campaign-season priority.

In urging the passage of the bill, many lawmakers told personal stories about how opioid abuse has affected constituents, family and friends. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told the story of his press secretary, Erin Perrine, whose brother, Eamon, died of a drug overdose in 2016. McCarthy said she learned of his death just weeks before her wedding.

“Let that be a lesson to us all: There is no event so joyful, no place so safe, that it is untouched by the drug crisis,” McCarthy said.

The bill passed Friday encourages states to increase coverage of treatment for substance abuse disorders through Medicaid. Foster youth and former prisoners are among the populations targeted for enhanced coverage of their

treatment.

The legislation also seeks to expand the use of medications to treat opioid abuse. It would allow more health care providers to treat patients with a drug that reduces risks of overdoses. It adds methadone clinics to the Medicare program. The bill also adds incentive for doctors to use post-surgical injections as a paintreatment alternative to opioids.

The Medicare changes are testament to the toll the crisis is taking on the elderly, with 300,000 Medicare patients having been diagnosed with opioid addiction.

The White House voiced its support for the House effort, which involved passing dozens of bills in the last two weeks to curb opioid abuse. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders urged the Senate to take the legislation up and “get these lifesaving bills to the president's desk.” She also said the bills represent “the most significant Congressional effort against a single drug crisis in United States history.”

Democrats voted overwhelmingly for the legislation, but called for more resources. Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey said the bill “does not adequately deal with the magnitude of the crisis that this country is facing.”

SACRAMENTO (AP)— California health officials reported Friday that 374 terminally ill people took drugs to end their lives in 2017, the first full year after a law made the option legal.

The California Department of Public Health said 577 people received aid-in-dying drugs last year, but not everyone used them. The law allows adults to obtain a prescription for life-ending drugs if a doctor has determined they have six months or less to live. They can self-administer the drugs.

Of the 374 who died, about 90 percent were more than 60 years old, about 95 percent were insured and about 83 percent were receiving hospice or similar care. The median age was 74.

The figures are more than double those from the first six months after the law went into effect June 9, 2016.

In those early months 191 people received life-ending drugs, while 111 people took them and died.

Riverside County Superior Court Judge Daniel Ottolia ruled in May that the law is unconstitutional because it was adopted illegally when lawmakers passed it during a special Legislative session called to address health issues. An appeals court last week reinstated the End of Life Option Act, but gave opponents until July 2 to file objections.

The law passed in California after 29-year-old Brittany Maynard, who was dying from brain cancer, had to move to Oregon in 2014 so she could end her life. Doctor-assisted deaths are also legal in Colorado, Montana,

Vermont, Washington state and Washington, D.C. Critics argue the law can prompt hasty decisions and misdiagnoses and less use of palliative care, in which dying people can be sedated to relieve suffering. Supporters say it gives people the choice to ease what otherwise might be a lingering and painful death.

“The worst case scenarios predicted by opponents to the Act have not come to fruition,” Democratic Sen. Bill Monning of Carmel, who carried the original legislation, said in a statement. “To me, this indicates that physicians are talking to their patients and that their patients are being thoughtful in considering the use of the Act.” Most of the recipients were college educated and receiving hospice or similar care, which “helps to refute some of the claims that were made

by those opposed to the process” that those taking the drugs were uneducated or lacking in other options, said Ashley Cardenas, policy and programs director for the advocacy organization Compassion & Choices.

Patients Rights Action Fund, which opposes laws allowing people to take their lives, did not immediately comment.

State health officials reported Friday that 632 people, the majority of them with cancer, started to use the law last year by making two verbal requests to their physicians at least 15 days apart.

The 374 people who died include 11 people who were prescribed drugs in 2016 but died last year.

Another 86 people were prescribed the lethal drugs but died without taking them, while the fate of the remaining 128 people wasn't reported.

On a Big Night for 'Panther,' Boseman Honors Real-Life Hero

By Pablo Arauz Peña

SANTA MONICA (AP)—The MTV Movie & TV Awards gave “Black Panther” its first taste of awards glory, with Marvel's blockbuster taking home four honors including two awards for its star, Chadwick Boseman.

LAS VEGAS (AP)—Han Solo's Blaster from the “Return of the Jedi” has sold for $550,000 at a Las Vegas auction.

Julien's Auctions says Ripley's Believe It or Not bought the item Saturday.

The sci-fi weapon was the top-selling item at the Hollywood Legends auction.

The blaster was part of a collection from the U.S. art director on the film, James L. Schoppe.

An Imperial Scout Trooper Blaster from the movie sold for $90,625.

Julien's says other items at the auction included a full Superman III costume worn by actor Christopher Reeve. It sold for $200,000, well over its original estimate.

A black wool dress worn by Marilyn Monroe went for $50,000 to benefit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation.

The auction was held at Planet Hollywood casino-resort.

OSEMAN quickly handed off his best hero award to James Shaw Jr., who wrestled an assaultstyle rifle away from a gunman in a Tennessee Waffle House in April. “This is going to live at your house,” Boseman told Shaw, giving him the show's golden popcorn award.

The actor said while it was an honor to be recognized for playing a superhero, it was more important to “acknowledge the heroes we have in real life.”

Boseman, who starred as T'Challa in “Black Panther,” also won the award for best performance in a movie. Michael B. Jordan, who played the villain Erik Killmonger, won best villain.

“Stranger Things” was the top television honoree, winning four awards including a repeat win for best show.

The awards were handed out Saturday and were broadcast Monday night.

The show is known for bringing fresh talent to light, as well as acknowledging established celebrities in quirkier categories like best kiss and most frightened performance. Host Tiffany Haddish donned a variety of costumes throughout the ceremony, including nods to classic film and TV roles such as Holly Golightly from “Breakfast at Tiffany's” and Starlet from “The Carol Burnett Show.”

She kicked off the show with a “Black Panther” skit, foreshadowing the film's big night, noting in her opening monologue that is it the first African-American film to earn more than $1 billion at the box office. Throughout the night, Haddish also parodied other hit films such as “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “A Quiet Place.”

“Black Panther,” about a king and virtuous superhero of the technologically-advanced nation of Wakanda, broke barriers earlier this

year as the first Marvel film to feature a Black lead. Its massive popularity overshadowed competing films like “Wonder Woman” and “Avengers: Infinity War.” Haddish, who also won an award for her breakthrough role in “Girls Trip,” noted that she is the first Black woman to host the awards show, which is in its 27th year.

The gay teen comedy “Love, Simon” won for best kiss for a scene between Nick Robinson and Keiynan Lonsdale. While Robinson wasn't there to accept the award, Lonsdale gave some encouraging words to LGBTQ youth.

“I just want to say to every kid,” he said. “You can live your dreams and kiss the one that you love no matter what gender.”

In addition to winning best show, kids of “Stranger Things” also

won awards for most frightened performance, best musical moment and best performance for Millie Bobby Brown. The actress, who plays Eleven in the series, couldn't make the event because of a broken kneecap. Brown accepted the award for best performance via satellite.

Other winners included Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom in “Riverdale” for scene stealer, Gal Gadot for best fight as Wonder Woman and the young cast of “It” for best on-screen team.

“Gaga: Fight Foot Two” won the award for best documentary. The Netflix feature followed Lady Gaga during the production of her fifth studio album “Joanne.” Common presented Lena Waithe with the trailblazer award for her activism, writing and “deeply honest art.”

During her acceptance speech,

Waithe paid tribute to “Paris is Burning,” the 1990 documentary released about the drag scene in New York during the late ‘80s. She called those documented, many who aren't alive anymore, “the bravest human beings that ever lived” “I'm doing what we as a society should have done a long time ago and give them the glory and shine that they deserve,” she said.

Chris Pratt mixed humor and religious messages while accepting the show's generation award, telling the crowd to “breathe. If you don't, you'll suffocate.” He also urged fans to “learn to pray” and accept that they are imperfect.

The show also featured musical performances by Nick Jonas and Mustard, as well as rising stars and Beyoncé protégés Chloe x Halle.

Give Up After Scandals?

Television History Shows Otherwise

By Mark Kennedy NEW YORK (AP)—Say this about TV creators in 2018—they don't give up easily.

Three current shows— “Roseanne,” “Transparent” and “House of Cards”—have been crippled by scandal, but each plans to continue without their disgraced stars.

“The bottom line is fundamentally money,” said Karen Tongson, a professor of English, Gender Studies and American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California.

“These crews, these actors, these shows that have audiences, that have critical acclaim, are pushed to continue for those reasons.”

The reboot of “Roseanne” had an excellent first season in the ratings—it also earned an estimated $45 million in

Han Solo's Blaster from 'Return of the Jedi' Tops Auction

advertising revenue for ABC— when its future was thrown into doubt by a racist tweet by star Roseanne Barr.

On Thursday, ABC said it ordered 10 episodes of a spinoff called “The Conners” after Barr relinquished any creative or financial participation in it, which the network had said was a condition of such a series.

In a statement issued by the show's producer, Barr said she agreed to the settlement to save the jobs of 200 cast and crew members who were idled when “Roseanne” was canceled last month.

“I regret the circumstances that have caused me to be removed from ‘Roseanne,' she said, adding, “I wish the best for everyone involved.”

A Barr-less “Roseanne” sitcom might get viewers to tune in but

Tongson doesn't believe they'll all hang around. “I think people will be curious to see what they try to do with the exit of its lead. But I'm not sure it will hold necessarily,” she said.

“People tuned in largely because of the volatility of Roseanne—the character and also the personality,” she added. “It has the opportunity to gain different audiences and new audiences by centering certain characters, but I think that some of that tension might be removed.”

“Roseanne” isn't alone in trying to forge a new TV path without a key member.

“House of Cards,” Netflix's first original series and one that's important for its brand, was rocked last October amid sexual misconduct allegations against star Kevin Spacey. Robin Wright, who co-starred as wife to Spacey's

Francis Underwood, will be the focus of the new final season.

And Amazon Studios has said “Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor won't be on the series when it returns for its fifth season. Two women—an actress on his show and his assistant—allege sexual misconduct; he has vehemently denied it.

Marc Berman, a TV analyst who is the creator of Programming Insider, said any network taking a lead character off a hit show is taking a gamble. But networks are loathe to walk away from a successful show.

“To not have the lead character on any of these three shows is certainly a challenge. It's not impossible, but it's a challenge,” he said. “When you do something like this, you have to focus on the ensemble of the show. You have to focus on the other characters.”

Teen Actress Wears 'I Do Care' Jacket to Protest First Lady LOS ANGELES (AP)—Teen actress Jenna Ortega cares, and says Melania Trump should do the same.

Ortega wore a green, hooded military jacket reading “I do care and u should too” on the red carpet at the Radio Disney Music Awards Friday night, countering the “I really don't care, do u?” jacket the first lady wore as she left Washington to visit detained migrant children this week.

The 15-year-old, whose credits include “Jane the Virgin” and “Iron Man 3,” told The Associated Press Trump's jacket showed poor judgment, and she couldn't believe her advisers allowed her to wear it. Ortega says she cares about migrant children, “and as first lady of the United States, she should too.”

Ortega says she had the jacket made the night before especially for the awards show

Netflix's Top Spokesman Fired Over Use of Racial Term SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says he fired the company's top spokesman over use of the N-word.

The spokesman, Jonathan Friedland, confirmed in tweets that he was leaving the company, saying he was insensitive in speaking with his team about words that offend in comedy.

In a memo to employees, published by Variety and The Hollywood Reporter and confirmed by Netflix, Hastings says Friedland used the word twice—first in a meeting of public relations staff several months ago about sensitive words. Hastings wrote that several people told Friedland how inappropriate and hurtful his use of the word was.

Hastings says Friedland, who is white, later repeated the word with human resources staff trying to address the original incident. Hastings wrote the second incident “confirmed a deep lack of understanding.”
