Oxnard Fire defeats police department IN CHARITY BASKETBALL GAME

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—It was a guns and hoses throwdown at the Oxnard Police Activities League (PAL), June 30, as the fire department defeated the police department, 32-28 in a charity basketball game.

T

HE game was a back-and-for th struggle through most of the game, but the lid went on the basket in the fourth quarter, and the police went cold and fell behind.

The win marks the end of a fire department losing streak to the police department basketball team that started in 1948.

Bikers came out in full force, June 29, to show respect and honor Sergeant Ron Helus.

Attendees were also treated to a free lunch from "The Pit Crew" that donated their time and prepared delicious chicken, roast beef, salad beans, and garlic bread.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald recruited the barbeque team and said the choice was natural because the crew loves to cook.

Alex Nguyen remains passionate about helping the homeless

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— As the city grapples with the homeless issue that sits on the precipice of becoming unmanageable, Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen has taken the lead and is trying to make a difference.

He sees the long-term plan to fix the homeless problem as almost baseball-like and plans to keep hitting singles, rather than going for a home run swing that is out of the city's grasp.

Nguyen plans to keep succeeding over 10 years with each year better than the last until Oxnard is a pilot city for solving the homeless problem.

He called the issue a crisis, and people need to remember the problem is not an Oxnard disease.

"We don't tolerate it, we don't like it, and we don't condone it," he

said. "It's a challenge, and the crux of the problem is there is not enough housing in California. That's been decades in the making, and it will take quite some time to remedy."

Governor Gavin Newsome has been aggressively dealing with the issue, and Nguyen is looking at the budget to find some aid.

"My frustration continues to be that state funds are only being sent directly to the top 13 cities," he said. "All the remaining funds are funneled through the counties, and it's frustrating because it's adding more bureaucracy and it takes a lot longer for those funds to ultimately reach the cities."

Additionally, the funding is primarily for housing, he said, which takes more time, because the state has to promulgate rules on how to spend the money and which buckets and categories the funds go towards.

"Then it has to get to the county,

and they have to figure it out with all it's member cities and figure who needs what amount of resources," Nguyen said. "Now you're talking a few years already." v Meanwhile, he pointed out that construction for housing hasn't started, but the homeless problem

continues to grow.

"Then when it (funding for housing) reaches a city, it has to struggle with where do we put it," he said. "Then, what happens is your nimbyism kicks in. The challenge that we have is that every neighborhood wants the homeless people out of their neighborhood because right now they're outdoors.

They're in the streets; they're in someone's backyard and side yard, they're at the park, at the river, and the channel. They're outdoors everywhere."

He called the problem ironic.

"You want the person out of the public space, but you don't want them in a private space near you," Nguyen said. "The same person that you complain about being in the park, you don't want them in an apartment building."

Ride for the blue honors Sergeant Ron Helus

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—Approximately 300 motorcycle riders stopped by the Oxnard Police Station, June 29, as the group participated in the “Ride for the Blue” to honor Sergeant Ron Helus, who died trying to save the lives of people inside The Borderline Bar and Grill.

Helus was killed with 11 others, Nov. 7, 2018. The shooter, Ian David Long, was a United States Marine Corps veteran and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The group started early in Thousand Oaks and stopped at stations across Ventura County to show support and thanked officers for their service.

They spent approximately 20 minutes in Oxnard and were greeted warmly by Chief Scott Whitney.

“This is great for the officers to see the support,” he said. “There are about 200 motorcyclists here supporting Ron Helus, specifically, but they are also here for our officers in general and the tough job they have.”

NEWS Oxnard Police arrest Samuel Vargas

DUI checkpoint nets one arrest Oxnard-- The Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit arrested one impaired driver while conducting a DUI/Driver's license checkpoint on June 21, 2019. The checkpoint was conducted on Oxnard Blvd. north of Glenwood Dr. between the hours of 8 p.m. and 3 a.m., resulting in the following: 758 vehicles were screened One DUI-alcohol suspect was arrested,16 drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or while suspended/revoked; 21 citations were issued, and one vehicle was towed. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the most significant opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the most significant safety for officers and the public.

In recent years, California has seen a disturbing increase in drug-impaired driving crashes.

The Oxnard Police Department supports the new effort from the Office of Traffic Safety that aims to educate all drivers that "DUI Doesn't Just Mean Booze." If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI. Studies of California drivers have shown that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.

The Oxnard Police Department offers these reminders to ensure a fun night doesn't get spoiled with a DUI: Decide before you go out whether you plan to drink or drive. You can't do both. If you plan to drink, designate a sober driver before going out, or map out another way to get home safely by taking a cab, rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, or using public transportation. You can also look up designated driver services in your area using the National Directory of Designated Driver Services (NDDDS).

Oxnard-- On June 29, 2019, at approximately 7:48 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department were patrolling the Southwinds Neighborhood in Oxnard. They contacted Samuel Vargas, an 18-yearold Oxnard resident, sitting in a vehicle in the 400 Block of Campbell Way. During the contact with Vargas, officers located a loaded handgun concealed under the driver’s seat Vargas was sitting in.

Vargas was placed under arrest and subsequently charged with felony possession of a loaded, unregistered firearm and felony possession of a firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance.

To address the increase in firearms-related crimes, the Oxnard Police Department launched the Operation Safer and Stronger Initiative, as well as the Firearms Strike Team (FAST) led by the Violent Crimes Unit, to proactively remove firearms from prohibited persons within the city. The

objective of this initiative and FAST is to reduce gun violence in Oxnard through education, intervention, and enforcement.

Anyone with information regarding criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at 805-3857600, or online via the Oxnard Police Department’s website: www.oxnardpd.org and clicking on Report Suspicious Activity.

You can remain anonymous if you choose to do so. You can stay anonymous by calling the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. You can also visit venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email.

Oxnard City Council recognizes Parks and Recreation Month

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Oxnard City Council gave a proclamation designating July 2019 as Parks and Recreation Month during its July 2, meeting.

Parks Manager Eric Garwick and Recreation Supervisor Renee Rakestraw led a large contingent up to the dais that Mayor Tim Flynn said was about half the crowd attending the meeting.

Cultural and Community Services Director Terrel Harrison led off the comments and said he always gets excited about Parks and

Recreation Month.

“I am excited because of the people,” he said. “It might sound like I am bragging, and yes, I am bragging.

This is what parks and recreation is all about. It’s these people who are up here, dedicated and they work hard for the city. We come in contact with more people than any other department in the city.”

Garwick said his team gets to make all the parks, medians and beaches as beautiful as they can every day.

“I have staff behind me that dedicates their time out there and makes the stage for recreation,” he

said. “We do the best we can with the abilities we have, and there are always opportunities to improve.”

Rakestraw said the parks department staff supports the health and wellness of the community every day for all ages from youth to seniors.

“I encourage you to check out our Oxnard Recreation website, oxnardrec.org,” she said. “We have programs, and not all of them have a fee. We do have free programs, and we have quite a few available this summer.”

Flynn encouraged the crowd to take advantage of the many programs that Oxnard Recreation offers.

Oxnard-- On June 27, the Oxnard Police Department spent the afternoon connecting with residents in the South end of our City. Our South District Neighborhood Officers led a group of 20 volunteers on a walk down Cuesta Del Mar Drive to speak with community members about their concerns & share information about the upcoming INCO District 5/6 neighborhood meeting.

Volunteers for the community walk has grown, and the department is happy to have welcomed representatives from Congresswoman Julia Brownley and Assembly member Jacqui Irwin offices, Ventura County Probation Chief Mark Varela, and members from Casa De Vida & Church of the Nazarene. Each volunteer brings unique talents & resources to enhance our relationships with our neighbors.

Sergeant Ron Helus continued from page 1

great sergeant with a heart of gold.

“He was not afraid to put himself in harm’s way,” Whitney said.

Blue Nights President Mark Englander participated in the ride for Helus and said the trip is essential and he will always be in his heart.

“Sergeant Helus was a partner of mine, and I went to the academy with him,” Englander said. “He used my office and taught concealed firearms classes. I am friends with the family, and our chapter supports law enforcement, and we do anything we can to help.

This ride is a thank you to let

officers know that we stand behind them.” He remembered Helus the most during their days at the academy.

“He’s a family man, and we had a lot of different stories to tell,” Englander said.

One time, he gave Helus the key to his office, and he lost the key. “He called me up, and I was in Santa Barbara on a ride, and he felt bad,” Englander said.

“I told him it’s a key. Don’t worry about it.” Shannon Pflaumer and Mike Grossman rode together since Shannon didn’t want to ride her Vespa on the trip.

“I’m from Thousand Oaks, and this is getting the

community together to rally behind our first responders and make sure they feel supported,” she said. “We’re here for them, and they give their lives every day for our community.”

Grossman worked for

Sergeant Helus twice and said he is a cop’s cop. “He is a sergeant that you wanted to work for, and he took care of his guys,” Grossman said.

Ventura County Deputy Anthony Biter said the ride

is not just about Helus; it’s for every officer who lost his life in the line of duty.

“Ron and I went to the academy together, and we worked the jail and patrol together before we went

funding" to get this done.

"All cities are massively playing catchup, and we're trying to get up to speed on how to address homelessness, and how to bring about the resources necessary for mental health issues," he said. "Money is a big gap. Very few cities have ever set aside money to deal with the homeless. It's frankly a line item we've never had."

The easiest path to place someone homeless in a residence is to use existing housing, he said, because it already exists.

"One of the fastest ways to

find housing is in apartments, and that's why I am calling on the property owners and property managers of our business community to be open-minded and participate in the housing first program, and take on housing vouchers and a few formerly homeless tenants," he said. "We're struggling with Washington D.C. to create a whole new type of housing voucher specifically for the homeless."

One problem is there are only a few apartments available in the market that will be accessible to the housing

first program, he said, so he's asked the business community to provide an interview for anyone who comes through the housing first program.

"You're going to give a job that's appropriate to someone's skills and abilities who is formerly homeless," Nguyen said. "If those two pieces don't come into play, it's hard for someone to re-establish stability in their lives."

In the end, Nguyen said the city needs to find places to create housing.

"I believe the only way to do it fairly is to distribute it

across the city, so there's no one neighborhood that has to absorb the bulk of it," he said.

"If you look at existing housing first projects, they tend to be the best properties on their block, and they are cared for, managed around the clock and in the end, it comes down to how well these programs are managed."

Looking forward, Nguyen said there are plenty of opportunities for places like Dignity Health to get involved and offer services.

"In the continuum of care, the county is doing a great job

to different areas in the department,” he said.

Biter was driving a 2004 Honda BTX, that he called a big bike with a fender that goes all the way down. “His name is Barney,” he said.

While the duo was at the academy, Biter said Helus would talk to him cross-eyed to try and mess him up.

“One day I was working the motor position in Thousand Oaks, and he was my sergeant,” he said. “The lady didn’t want to sign the ticket, and I offered him $100 if he did the crosseyed thing, but he wouldn’t do it because he was looking to get promoted.”

Alex Nguyen continued from page 1

zoning laws will help the problem because residential is residential.

"What we need to do is be fair about the distribution across the city," he said. "Cities have never been in the business of public health, and this has never been in our portfolio.

Homelessness has always been on the county and the state, so this is a relatively new challenge in terms of the lives of cities in California."

The city does not have social workers or mental health workers and has never had the capacity or a "single dollar of

of managing those services," he said. "You can have all these services, but in the end, if you don't have any housing, it's hard for a person to re-stabilize their life."

He isn't worried about the system being overwhelmed by the homeless issue, and the system is doing the work right now in a dispersed fashion.

"You're trying to provide services for people who are homeless and outdoors, so that is a huge challenge," he said. "I believe the healthcare n Alex Nguyen, see page 3

community, the HMO's, there is plenty of room for them to engage more. This has happened in New York and Chicago, where they understand the simple math of if they invested in housing for homeless people, it's a lot cheaper than treating people in the emergency department multiple times a month."

Nguyen feels like when you look at cities around the state that are inundated by the homeless problem, that Oxnard is on the same path.

"Right now, I believe for the next couple of years it's still manageable, and if we start the process, we can begin to bend the curve downward," he said.

The city doesn't have a specific goal yet, but he wonders what it will be like if they focus on 50 homeless people each year.

"That adds up fast, and it makes a huge difference in our public spaces and our neighborhoods if we can achieve that," he said.

"We can look like those other cities in a few more years. The problem is only growing."

Getting people in homes and in the services they need will have a ripple effect, he said,

and ultimately, the city will save money in the police department, fire department the public works department and code enforcement.

"During this transition phase, we have to spend money in both areas, so that's the challenge," he said. "The state has put aside over $1 billion to deal with housing and homelessness, and we have no access to it."

That point returned him to his initial frustration.

"I am trying to convince our representatives and other folks in Sacramento that they've got to release this money to the cities," he said. "We are dealing with the homeless day in and day out. We are the front line of the homeless crisis."

The city council used Measure O funds to fund fire station 2, $1 million, and Nguyen was trying to protect that money to use it for the homeless crisis.

"We are going to need it," he said. "It's expensive to address it, but it's much cheaper than not addressing it, and that will cost so much more down the line." This story will continue in the July 12, edition of the Tri County Sentry.

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Oxnard City Council authorized the Wagon Wheel Project during its July 2, meeting and approved early Quimby Fee credits for parks within the project.

*EMC Oxnard Location Only

Planning and Environ­ ­ mental Services Manager Kathleen Mallory gave the report, and she told the council they need to consider a Quimby fee credit for the Oakwood Development Project.

"The Quimby Act authorizes a legislative body from a city or county to require the dedication of land or to impose fees for parks or recreational purposes as a condition of the approval of a tentative or parcel subdivision map if specified requirements are met," according to state laws.

The Oxnard Village discretionary plan is 62 acres and was adopted in 2009, she said, and granted development rights for the construction of the project over the next 20 years.

"The village specific plan provides infrastructure plans, guidelines, standards and regulation for 1,500 dwelling units, 50,300 square feet of commercial space and parks, open space, infrastructure, and at the time a transit center," she said.

"It also included park space in three parks, 7.4 acres of parks, and open space areas along with 3.7 acres of parks known as the Village Green that is central in the project.

It also included a robust and wonderful multi-use path running parallel to Oxnard Boulevard."

In July 2015, the Oxnard City Council approved the first amendment to the development agreement, Mallory said, to reduce fees to offset some development costs associated with the construction of flood levy

improvements and some roadway improvements that weren't anticipated in parks B and C. The proposal calls for the area to be developed and dedicated to the city once parks A, B, and C are completed in the development, although parks B and C were being acted upon because park A wasn't finished.

Upon acceptance of parks B and C, Mallory said the city would grant the developer fee credits for the land and construction credits.

"The fee credits are within and applied against the Quimby credits for the development project," she said.

"That is required prior to the occupancy of each residential unit."

"The development agreement also requires the formation of a community facilities district, for the purpose of maintaining the ongoing maintenance and public improvements," she added. "This gives you an idea of generally the parks which are out there. Lot C

includes two play structures, a volleyball court, ping pong tables, three picnic tables, and a large pavilion."

Lot B has a historic wishing well, she said, which is a replication of cultural mitigation requirements."

The developer completed the parks, and Oakwood had a grand opening of the B and C lots, approximately 1.9 acres, and are available for public use.

"The Community Facilities District, however, has not collected sufficient funds yet to cover the park maintenance, which is roughly $65,000" she said. "The city does not have the funding available to cover the maintenance costs."

The developer is required to dedicate the parks to the city, she said, but it has not accepted the parks yet.

"We don't yet own the land because we don't want to take over the maintenance because the community facilities district does not have sufficient funding," she said. "Until the city accepts parks in lots B and C, the developer will continue

to maintain the parks through the master homeowner's association at no cost to the city."

Corey Harpole from Oakwood Communities said he supports the staff 's recommendation.

"We are happy to maintain the parks until the Community Facility District funding is fully placed," he said. "We believe that owning these parks now is a great benefit to not only our existing residents but our future residents."

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said she supports the item.

"It's requested that the developer establish a park for the people who live there and that's a good thing," she said.

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said he's been to the site and it looks beautiful.

"The construction has been going on for a while, and it's starting to take shape," he said.

Councilman Bert Perello asked Mallory if the Community Facilities District will have escalators and Mallory said it would.

OPED Why Doesn’t the Supreme Court Want Americans to Know How Many Illegal Aliens There Are in the U.S. Right Now?

By Robert Romano The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a citizenship question can be included in a Census under the U.S. Constitution, however a narrower 5 to 4 majority threw out the specific rationale used by the Trump administration for the 2020 Census, remanding the case to lower courts for adjudication.

Chief Justice John Roberts, joining the higher court’s liberal justices, stated “We do not hold that the agency decision here was substantively invalid. But agencies must pursue their goals reasonably.

Reasoned decision-making under the Administrative Procedures Act calls for an explanation for agency action. What was provided here was more of a distraction.”

This is the so-called reasoned analysis that is supposed to accompany a regulation under Supreme Court precedent.

The Department said it relied on the Department of Justice saying the information was needed to enforce the Voting Rights Act. In this case, however, the court ruled that the Department of Commerce “adopted the Voting Rights Act rationale late in the process” and the “evidence established that the Secretary had made up his mind to reinstate a citizenship question ‘well before’ receiving DOJ’s request, and did so for reasons unknown but unrelated to the VRA.” The court added, “we share the District Court’s conviction that the decision to reinstate a citizenship question cannot be adequately explained in terms of DOJ’s request for improved citizenship data to better enforce the VRA. Several points, considered together, reveal a significant mismatch between the decision the Secretary made and the rationale he provided.”

The split decision, affirming that such a question could be asked, but remanding it to lower courts, appears designed to prevent the question from being included in the 2020 Census since the forms were

supposed to be printed out in July.

However, President Donald Trump is not accepting no for an answer, tweeting from the G-20 Summit in Japan that printing the forms could be delayed, “Seems totally ridiculous that our government, and indeed Country, cannot ask a basic question of Citizenship in a very expensive, detailed and important Census, in this case for 2020. I have asked the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the… United States Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter. Can anyone really believe that as a great Country, we are not able the ask whether or not someone is a Citizen? Only in America!”

Indeed, only in America, where a political question that the executive branch has discretion in, whether to include a citizenship question on the Census, is ruled to be something the Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross had the authority to include, but is also somehow considered to be an administrative matter subject to judicial review, where if the courts don’t like the “reasoned” explanation given, it gets thrown out.

In his dissent, Justice Samuel Alito

noted, “Throughout our Nation’s history, the Executive Branch has decided without judicial supervision or interference whether and, if so, in what form the decennial census should inquire about the citizenship of the inhabitants of this country.

Whether to put a citizenship question on the 2020 census questionnaire is a question that is committed by law to the discretion of the Secretary of Commerce and is therefore exempt from APA review… insofar as the Court holds that the Secretary’s decision is reviewable under the APA, I respectfully dissent.”

Alito is right. In fact, a citizenship question has been used in 12 out of 15 Censuses since 1870, and there’s no really good reason why it could not have been included in the 2020 Census.

Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning blasted the ruling in a statement, noting that the federal government has a compelling interest in knowing how many citizens there are eligible for federal funds: “Federal spending to the states is largely based on population, and federal law prohibits people who are not in the U.S. legally from obtaining welfare. We were also assured by President Obama that

Obamacare would not apply to those here illegally. The federal government knows how many people are in the U.S. legally through the normal immigration naturalization process.”

Certainly, that’s as good a reason as any to include such a question on the Census, but let’s face it, it came down to whether Roberts wanted the question on the Census or not. The Commerce Department offered its rationale, and it was rejected with prejudice.

The ruling came as Congress passed another $4.6 billion supplemental to provide humanitarian aid on the southern border as it is being overwhelmed by an unprecedented migration from Central America, and as the U.S. and Mexico came to an agreement to crack down after Trump threatened up to 25 percent tariffs on Mexican goods by October if more was not done to provide assistance.

That alone might be reason enough to see how big of a problem we really have. The country is being invaded by tens of millions of people who have no right to be here, intent upon taking over the voting franchise. The two-party system might become uncompetitive if that happens. This is about preventing

one-party rule. And yet, every Democrat at the debate raised their hands wanting to give free health care to illegal immigrants to further incentivize this outcome.

The fact that the Secretary wanted the question included prior to consulting with the Department of Justice has been made material by the court’s ruling, and this must be overcome by the administration to put the Secretary’s original decision into a context that will satisfy the court with better documentation.

Trump is doing everything he can be seeking to delay printing the forms to expedite another review.

That said, the real question is why the Supreme Court does not want the American people to know how many illegal aliens are in the U.S. presently?

For which, we can only speculate. So, I’ll take a gander. Since the early 2000s, lawmakers and government officials have, in an attempt to secure illegal immigrant amnesty, always pointed to a figure of 11 million illegal aliens in the country. Every year, the number never changes much. Nowadays, now it’s been slightly upgraded to 12 to 15 million illegal aliens.

Never mind the fact that about 40,000 illegal immigrants are apprehended on a monthly basis on the southern border, although that number has accelerated to more than 350,000 the past three months, according to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. As far as official Washington, D.C. establishment is concerned, the number never really changes.

I believe the reason the establishment does not want this question included, is because if you knew how many illegal aliens there really are in the U.S.—other less conservative estimates say it could be as high as 29 million—you would be outraged. Even more outraged than you are right now about the issue. And that’s not a chance they’re willing to take.

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

OPED New Levels of Shame

By Marian Wright Edelman It is inconceivable that the latest headlines come from a civilized nation. “Detained Migrant Children Denied Adequate Food, Water & Sanitation in Texas.” “There Is a Stench: No Soap and Overcrowding in Detention Centers for Migrant Children.” “‘The Taliban gave me toothpaste’: Former captives contrast U.S. treatment of child migrants.”

Last week’s Associated Press report exposed the details of the inhumane conditions and neglect at the Clint, TX Border Patrol station: “Lawyers warn that kids are taking care of kids, and there’s inadequate food, water and sanitation for the 250 infants, children and teens at the Border Patrol station…Fifteen have the flu, and 10 more are quarantined.

Three girls told attorneys they were trying to take care of [a] 2-yearold boy, who had wet his pants and had no diaper and was wearing a mucus-smeared shirt when the legal team encountered him…Law professor Warren Binford, who is helping interview the children, said she couldn’t learn anything about the toddler, not even where he’s from or who his family is. He is not speaking…‘In my 22 years of doing visits with children in detention, I have never heard of this level of inhumanity,’ said Holly Cooper, who co-directs University of California, Davis’ Immigration Law Clinic and represents detained youth.” Many children had not had access to a shower or changed clothes since they had crossed the border days or even weeks earlier. Meanwhile Justice Department attorney Sarah Fabian argued in court that the federal government should not have to provide immigrant children with toothbrushes or soap to fulfill its legal obligation to provide them “safe and sanitary” conditions.

The spotlight on the inhumane treatment at the border comes just as the Trump administration is threatening to conduct mass deportation roundups of immigrant families, which will do real and lasting harm to countless children.

This action, which the Children’s Defense Fund has condemned in the strongest terms, is the latest in a long string of actions by this administration meant to tear families apart and sow fear and panic among immigrant communities.

The hostile, xenophobic rhetoric

of the administration is so pervasive that even very young children now live with the daily fear of losing a parent. The Department of Homeland Security has said that parents detained while their children are at day care or summer camp may be deported while their children are left behind. Deportations and family separations have dire consequences for children’s mental health and wellbeing, and they put enormous strain on communities—especially the already over-burdened child welfare system. That the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement refer to this action as the “family op” reinforces this administration’s callous disregard for the children’s lives that will be harmed and the families that will be torn apart by these actions. Targeting children

and families in an effort to create fear among immigrant communities is immoral and runs counter to the values upon which this country was built.

We urge the administration to stop separating children from their parents and to stop imprisoning children in unsafe, inhumane conditions. We call on Congress to refuse to fund the Trump administration’s cruelty. And we urge state and local officials to speak out against this administration’s actions and equip their communities with the resources they need to support impacted families. It is our moral duty as a nation to protect and defend all children, regardless of where they come from or the color of their skin.

God, forgive our nation and help us to repent. **

Let the little children come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of Heaven, Jesus said.

He did not say let only rich or middle-class White children come.

He did not say let only the strapping boys but not the girls come.

He did not say let only the ablebodied children come.

All the children He bade come.

He did not say let all my children or your children or our friends’ children or those in our families and neighborhoods and who look and act like us come.

He did not say let only the wellbehaved nice children come or those who conform to society’s norms.

He did not say let a few, a third, half, or three-fourths come—but all.

Jesus said let the little children come and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven.

** Prayer for Courage to Do Justice (By Alan Paton) O Lord, open my eyes that I may see the needs of others; Open my ears that I may hear their cries; Open my heart so that they need not be without succor; Let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.

Show me where love and hope and faith are needed, and use me to bring them to those places.

And so open my eyes and my ears that I may, this coming day, be able to do some work of peace for thee.

Amen.

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

Let The Summer Fun Begin Dr. James L. Snyder Now that summer is upon us, we can turn our back on those frosty days of winter. I like winter as long as it is in the past tense. Otherwise, all that cold tenses me up something terrific. Now that summer is upon me, I can sit back, relax and enjoy those crazy, lazy days of summer.

My plans for the summer have already been established. I have a little notebook with all the things I plan to do during the summer.

If someone were to open that little notebook, they will find, much to their surprise, not a thing written on any page.

That is precisely my plan. I plan to do nothing during the summer.

This is a relatively new strategy on my part. Every time I plan to do something, it never turns out right. In fact, if I plan to go right everything turns around and I end up going left. Therefore, my ingenious plan is to plan the opposite of what I really want to do. After all, it cannot be any worse than what I have been doing up to now.

I have been dreaming about the luxury of doing absolutely nothing for the summer. I have no personal goals to achieve. I have no projects needing completion. I have only one goal for the entire summer and that is to do nothing.

For this nefarious plan of mine

to be successful, I will need to avoid the wife for the entire summer. If she was in the living room I would make sure, I was out in the garage.

If she were out on the porch, I would be in the bathroom. I had this all worked out in my head long before Spring came to its finale.

For weeks now, I have been busy planning my summer's spree of non-activity. Within a matter of time, some strange thought horned in on my serenity. For some reason I hit a snag in my planning.

I thought I had everything worked out. Then I noticed something strange about this new strategy of

mine. That is, it is quite hard to plan to do nothing.

For example, if I plan to go fishing I know what equipment I need to lay out and what clothes I need to wear. If I am planning to go on a vacation, I know what to pack and I know the clothes to put in the suitcase and so forth. But, how do you plan to do nothing?

When I first thought of this plan, it seemed like such an easy thing to do. Something natural for a person like me. My problem was, what clothes do I need to put on when I am planning to do nothing? What kind of equipment do I need? And,

should I pack a lunch?

I decided to pack a lunch anyway.

It is only one week into the summer and I have found myself to be a little stressed. My plan was to do nothing but I am not sure what that means.

When you do nothing, what exactly are you doing or not doing?

Boy, do I need a philosopher today.

(Where is Dr. Phil when you need him?) And I suppose the biggest question is, how do you define nothing?

To define nothing, you have to say something, and something certainly is not nothing. So how do I know when I am doing nothing?

If I do anything, does it cancel out my goal of nothing?

To show how desperate I was, I decided to ask the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage.

"How do I know when I'm doing nothing?" I asked her.

She looked at me with one of those strange looks I have become so familiar with and just stared at me for a few moments. Then with both hands firmly placed on her hips, she answered me.

"It is simply this. You are doing nothing when you are not doing what I asked you to do." Then she produced a thick notebook of things she wanted me to do. A “to-do-list,” if you please, for the summer.

It was at that point that it hit me.

The only way you can do nothing is if you have something to do. If I don't have anything to do, there is nothing I can do. But if I have something to do and do not do it I am, in fact, doing nothing.

I surprised my wife by taking her to-do-list and clutching it to my bosom. I said to her with a smile, “Thank you for solving my summer problem.” With that, I walked off quite cheerfully, knowing that with this list in my hand, I now have a plan to do nothing for the summer.

I love it when a plan comes together.

I then did something profitable.

I turned to a favorite passage in the Bible. The apostle Paul knew a thing or two about doing things.

Paul said, "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

(Philippians 4:12-13).

It may be difficult to do nothing but it is absolutely impossible to do anything without Christ.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JULI 5, 2019

NEWS City receives donation from the Ventura County Pangasinan Association

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Oxnard City Council received a donation from the Ventura County Pangasinan Association to improve bus stops and shelters in Oxnard during its July 2, meeting.

Mayor Tim Flynn told the crowd the city is grateful for the many organizations that provide financial support for city programs and assets.

"When we talk about volunteerism and people giving to the community, we can say they are part of the

solution and not part of the problem," he said. "We have to ask ourselves if we are part of the solution or part of the problem."

Spokesperson Vida Songcuan said the group is happy and honored to present a check for $3,000 to the City

of Oxnard.

"We fundraise to come up with the money, and as a nonprofit organization, we are not supposed to exceed a certain amount of money," she said.

"That's why we are donating back a certain amount of money back to the city."

Songcuan said some of the bus stops are dark at night.

"The last one was at Rose Avenue by Oxnard College, and this is for solar lights from the Ventura County Pangasinan Association," she said.

The Oxnard City Council and Ventura County Pangasinan Association were all smiles at the check presentation during the July 2, city council meeting.

Flynn said there are several Filipino organizations in Ventura County.

"Pangasinan is one of the regions in the Philippines on the big island of Luzon,"

Songcuan said. "When I was back in the Philippines, there were 45 towns in Pangasinan.

It's like a county."

Farming and fishing is the primary occupation, she

said, and the primary product is rice. "It's on the national highway," she said.

The crowd gave the group a warm ovation after the check presentation.

behind the wheel? Take the keys or help them make other arrangements to get where they are going safely.

Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be approximately $13,500. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension, and other expenses, not to

mention possible jail time.

The checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Whether by bike, car, motorcycle, or walking, the Oxnard Police Department encourages everyo­ ne to be a part of the solution and 'Go Safely California.'

"Everyone here is donating their time for this event," she said.

"I love having everyone come together for a good cause. This event benefits the kids we serve in our community, and we enjoy it." Youth Director Council President Laura Guzman brought a large contingent to the game, and they were helping out.

"We'll be selling tickets for $5, then we'll go and watch the game," she said. "The kids will also be selling popcorn, candy, chips, soda, and sno-cones for $1. The kids are learning communication skills and how to be more outgoing. This event will help them with their first job."

Vice President Jesus Garcia said he is helping the kids learn how to be leaders.

"I love getting our community involved and getting the people to come to PAL and keeping kids off the street," he said Before the game, youngster Kevin Thompson II got into the act and decided to play some ball.

"My husband coaches the Oxnard Police Department team, and we came to show support," his mom said.

Kevin Thompson Sr. said the game is going to be fun, and he likes seeing everyone

get together to give back to the community. "Two years ago, we played, and it was a competitive game," he said. "I anticipate the fire guys coming out and competing well. These guys do not play ball on a regular basis, so it will be a slow tempo game with some outside shooting and some transition. It will be fun."

The halftime show featuring "The Minis" was a great event led

by Coordinator Felicia Holland, who started with the group when she was a mini.

"We have a lot of different programs going on here at the PAL, and the minis are the youngest group, ages 4 to 9," she said. "We have a group above them, which is the elementary school group, ages 9 to 13, and we have a high school team. We have competitive and exhibition teams."

She enjoys relating her experiences with the group and hopes the kids will learn from her. "I've been in their shoes too," she said. "I know how strenuous and tedious the work can be, but having coaches who have been through it before makes it better for the kids."

After the game, Fire Department Captain Blair Martin from the River Park Fire Station said hard work and teamwork were the keys to success.

"We live with these guys," he said. "It's the camaraderie and working together and saving people's lives. Two years ago; they beat us, and they pushed and motivated us."

Martin said there are no immediate plans to celebrate.

"Some of us have to work tonight," he said.

PAL Director Terrell Harrison said it's another winwin for the group.

"It's awesome," he said. "The work these guys put in to do these events, and the work they do for charity is excellent."

he took care of me," MacDonald said. "He's been doing this for years. I like the cause, the PAL facility, and it's well worth it to get things for them and help them be successful."

Recreation Coordinator Susan Marquez and Janice Zaragoza led the event for the PAL and teamed up with MacDonald and the police and fire departments.

She declined to take sides and wanted both teams to play well.

"They are both winners in my book," she said. "It didn't take a lot to get the departments involved. We did this two years ago." She didn't rule out a girl versus guy guns and hoses throwdown in the future.

"Anything that helps PAL raise money for our youth, we are open to it," she said. "Any money that is raised goes back to the kids, 100 percent there is no overhead cost and no staff to pay. We buy new equipment for the youth center, like new pool tables and supplies for the program. Everything the PAL offers is at no cost for the kids."

Zaragoza said she brought the Youth Directors Council to the event to sell tickets and run the concession stand.

"We also have a DJ here through donations," she said.

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 http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-853059-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

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 844-477-7869 or visit this Internet Website www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2019-0306. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 6/17/2019 WESTERN FIDELITY TRUSTEES 1222 Crenshaw Blvd., SUITE B Torrance, California 90501 Sale Line: (310)212-0700 Kathleen Herrera, Trustee Officer

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 8/7/2019 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

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

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

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

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

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

HEALTH Trump Administration Agrees to Delay Health Care Rule SAN FRANCISCO (AP)— The Trump administration has agreed to postpone implementing a rule allowing medical workers to decline performing abortions or other treatments on moral or religious grounds while the so-called “conscience” rule is challenged in a California court.

The rule was supposed to take effect on July 22 but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its opponents in a California lawsuit mutually agreed Friday to delay a final ruling on the matter until Nov. 22.

The agency called it the “most efficient way to adjudicate” the rule.

A federal judge in San Francisco permitted the change on Saturday.

A California lawsuit alleges that the department exceeded its authority with the rule, which President Trump announced in May. The measure known as Protecting Statutory Conscience Rights in Health Care; Delegations of Authority would require institutions that receive money from federal programs to certify that they comply with some 25 federal laws

“The Trump administration is trying to systematically limit access to critical medical care for women, the LGBTQ community, and other vulnerable patients,” San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement announcing Friday's

The rule is a priority for religious conservatives, but critics fear it will become a pretext for denying medical attention to LGBT people or women seeking abortions, a legal medical procedure. protecting conscience and religious rights.

Most laws pertain to medical procedures such as abortion, sterilization and assisted suicide.

The department has previously said that past administrations haven't done enough to protect such rights in the medical field.

decision. “Hospitals are no place to put personal beliefs above patient care.”

San Francisco would have faced losing about $1 billion in federal funding for health care-related programs if the rule took effect, according to the statement from his office.

Health Panel: Millions of U.S. Kids Should Get Hepatitis Shot

68-Year-Old Swimmer Competes in National Senior Olympics

By Jannelle Walker Last week, 68-year-old Loretta Griffin became the first African-American Memphian to compete in the National Senior Olympics for swimming, coming full circle from her days of doing water aerobics at the Davis YMCA in Whitehaven.

The New Tri-State Defender talked to Griffin before she left for Albuquerque, N.M., where the swimming competitions were being held.

Griffin, a retired teacher, began swimming five years ago. She had been taking water aerobics classes at the YMCA for about three years and when she became comfortable with the water, she decided it was time to learn how to swim.

“I would always see other swimmers doing laps. They looked like they were really enjoying themselves. That made me want to learn how to swim,” she said.

That’s when she started swimming lessons and learning the basics that she practiced every day. One day Griffin was at home watching television and a

feature for men in their 90s participating in the National Senior Olympics appeared, but it wasn’t until “the next day I saw a news item about local games and they were about to start. It was time to register, so I went on and signed up for those.”

Once she became a contestant for the local games, Griffin was told that she would need to participate in the state level and place in the top four to attend the Nationals, as well as qualify the year before the actual Olympics.

Griffin completed all her requirements, including coming in third place last year in a 500 freestyle that consisted of 20 laps and four strokes to qualify her for the Nationals.

In college, Griffin took swimming lessons to complete her degree.

“So, I did take it, but the lady felt sorry for me and gave me a C because you had to make a C in order not to take it again. I was terrible at it.”

Many times, Griffin was the only African American participating in the swimming competitions

leading up the Olympics.

She encourages more African-American children to swim, specifically girls because she feels “everybody should know how to swim.”

Her strategy for being proficient is to focus on the game and doing the best to her ability.

“I want to get there and do my technique. Get my technique correct, then my strategy is: Do the best I can do. If that results in a win, that is even better,” Griffin said. “That is like icing on the cake.”

Griffin trained at the Bickford Aquatic Center for the National Senior Olympics at least three to four times each week. She would start with 10 minutes of warm-ups, then 20 laps and then begin on her backstrokes.

Her coach was Cynthia Dickerson, whom she met as a coordinator for the local games.

“She was the one who suggested if I was interested in going into the state or to the Nationals, I needed to get with her,” said Griffin, “and that made a world of a

difference…

“She is the bravest person I know. I can mess up really bad and she will find something good in it. When I’m swimming, I’m thinking about her, I’d think about her words.”

Dickerson, 65, has been a swimming coach for 20 years, coaching both adults and children. A former coach at Central High School, Dickerson said her own son inspired her to be a coach.

What makes a good swimmer? According to Dickerson, it is both attitude and technique.

“Somebody that can do all four strokes, butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke.

Somebody who can do the continuous laps. Somebody who is consistently trying to improve.”

Dickerson sums up Griffin with one word: Persistent. “(She) does whatever I tell her to do, to correct her structure, to improve her stroke, and she is right there doing it to the best of her ability. I just think she is a winner. You don’t find that in many people.”

ATLANTA (AP)—A scientific panel is recommending that more than 2 million U.S. kids get vaccinated against hepatitis A. Thirteen years ago, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended hepatitis A shots for all U.S. children at age 1.

On Thursday, the panel said the shots should be given to older children who weren't vaccinated earlier, including 14- to 18-year-olds who turned 1 before the recommendation was made.

The panel also recommended the shots for every person with HIV. About 1.1 million Americans are estimated to have HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. People with HIV tend to develop more severe hepatitis A illnesses.

U.S. hepatitis A infections and deaths have risen in the last two years, spurred by outbreaks among the homeless and drug users.

Vaccine No Match Against Flu Bug That Popped Up Near End

By Mike Stobbe ATLANTA (AP)—The flu vaccine turned out to be a big disappointment again. The vaccine didn't work against a flu bug that popped up halfway through the past flu season, dragging down overall effectiveness to 29%, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.

The flu shot was working well early in the season with effectiveness put at 47% in February. But it was virtually worthless during a second wave driven by a tougher strain, at just 9%.

There was “no significant protection” against that strain, said the CDC's Brendan Flannery.

Flu vaccines are made each year to protect against three or four different kinds of flu virus. The ingredients are based on predictions of what strains will make people sick the following winter.

This season's shot turned out to be a mismatch against the bug that showed up late.

That pushed down the overall effectiveness to one of the lowest in recent years. Since 2011, the only season with a lower estimate was the winter of 2014-2015, when effectiveness was 19%. A mismatch was also blamed then.

Vaccines against some other infectious diseases are not considered successful unless they are at least 90% effective. But flu is particularly challenging, partly because the virus can so quickly change. Overall, flu vaccine has averaged around 40%.

Flu shots are recommended for virtually all Americans age 6 months or older. Officials say the vaccine is still worthwhile since it works against some strains, and it likely prevented 40,000 to 90,000 hospitalizations over the winter flu season.

The CDC bases vaccine effectiveness on preventing cases bad enough to send someone to the doctor.

Taylor Swift pens scathing screed excoriating Scooter

By Lindsey Bahr LOS ANGELES (AP)—Taylor Swift is not staying silent over the sale of her masters to Scooter Braun.

I

N a scathing Tumblr post Sunday, the pop superstar writes she is sad and grossed out that her music catalog now belongs to Braun, whom she accuses of subjecting her to years of incessant and manipulative bullying, referencing clashes with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

“This is my worst case scenario,” Swift writes.

Braun's Ithaca Holdings announced Sunday that it is acquiring Big Machine Label Group, which released all of Swift's studio albums and owns her masters. Swift says she learned of the sale Sunday.

Swift left Big Machine and signed with Universal Music Group in November because she says she knew that re-signing with the group that had managed her since she was 15 would only result in her not owning her future work.

“When I left my masters in (Big Machine Label Group founder Scott Borchetta's) hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them,” she writes. “Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter.”

Braun, she alleges, got two clients,

including Justin Bieber, to bully her online about a leaked and illegally recorded snippet of a phone call she had with Kardashian. She also

references when West, a Braun client, organized a “revenge porn music video which strips my body naked.”

She writes that now Braun has

“stripped her” of her life's work that she “wasn't given an opportunity to buy.”

“My musical legacy is about to lie

in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it,” she writes.

Representatives for Braun and Borchetta did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Bieber responded in an Instagram post late Sunday apologizing for hurting her at the time, and also defending Braun who he says, “didn't have anything to do with it” and has her back.

“For you to take it to social media and get people to hate on (S)cooter isn't fair,” Bieber wrote.

Braun's wife, Yael Cohen, also chimed in on Instagram refuting Swift's claim that she found out the news with the rest of the world.

“Your dad is a shareholder and was notified and Borchetta personally told you before this came out,” Cohen alleges. “My husband is anything but a Bully.”

A representative for Swift did not immediately respond to request for comment to Cohen's post.

Swift ended her post looking to the future and says she thankfully “signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create.”

She also advocates for artist ownership of songs and hopes that the next generation will “read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation.”

“I will always be proud of my past work,” she added, making sure to also plug her new album, “Lover” which will be released on Aug. 23.

XFL's plans for upcoming season starting to take shape

By Joe Reedy

'One Day at a Time' rescued from cancellation by Pop TV LOS ANGELES (AP)— There are more days ahead for “One Day at a Time.”

The CBS Corp.-owned cable channel Pop TV says Thursday it's greenlighted a new season of the reboot canceled by Netflix. In a statement, Pop TV President Brad Schwartz called the series both “culturally significant” and funny.

The original 1975-84 sitcom about a single white mom was

reimagined with a Latino family at its center, a TV rarity.

Justina Machado stars as Penelope Alvarez, a Cuban American parent and military veteran, with Rita Moreno playing her mother, Lydia.

“One Day at a Time” was dropped by Netflix earlier this year after three seasons, prompting an outcry from fans. The streaming service said not enough people watched the show to justify

Elba says race talk around Bond casting disappointing LONDON (AP)—Even though Idris Elba isn't trying to become the next James Bond, he's disheartened that some people don't think he should be considered for the spy role because he's Black.

The British actor says in the August issue of Vanity Fair that it's frustrating that there are people who say “'It can't be.' And it really turns out to be the color of my skin.”

Some have speculated that the “Luther” star would make the perfect Bond. Elba says although Bond is a coveted, beloved character that he would be fascinated to play, he doesn't need to put himself in the position of questioning whether a stint as Bond did or didn't work “because of the color of my skin.”

Elba stars in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” due in theaters in August.

renewing it.

Famed producer Norman Lear, who co-created the original series and is executive producer on the remake, said he was “heartbroken” when it was canceled.

“Today, I'm overwhelmed with joy to know the Alvarez family will live on,” Lear said in a statement.

Pop TV says the new 13-episode season is planned for 2020.

Justina Machado stars as Penelope Alvarez, a Cuban American parent and military veteran, with Rita Moreno playing her mother, Lydia.

LONG BEACH (AP)—Oliver Luck's first year as the XFL's commissioner has mostly been confined to the office and getting the league's framework set up. The next couple months are what Luck refers to as the fun part of preparing for next year's return.

“We're still a long way from a football game but we are starting to see more of what we are trying to do,” Luck said.

The league—which will begin play the week after Super Bowl 54—is in the middle of conducting “Summer Showcases” in the eight cities where it will have teams. The showcases are similar to pro days on college campuses and the NFL Scouting Combine as coaches get to work with prospects.

Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Seattle, Houston and Dallas featured 100 players, who were invited by the league, but last weekend's showcase in Tampa had 150.

Luck said the league will begin signing players later this month after the final showcase is held in St. Louis July 13.

Some of the prospects played in the Alliance of American Football, which lasted only eight weeks, but some former NFL players have also participated, including wide receivers Hakeem Nicks and Robert Meacham, quarterbacks Landry Jones and Ryan Mallett and tight end Fred Davis.

“You get a lot of reps. For me, there is a chance to put film out there and show I can still play,” said Davis, who last played in the NFL in 2013. “It's good just to know you still have an opportunity to play if you still have some juice left.”

Luck is optimistic that the quality of players, especially at quarterback, will be better than the AAF. Luck points to the league being able to offer more at skill positions.

“We have some guys who left the NFL on terms that were not their own but still have 2-4 years left of playing.

It gives me hope that we can play solid football,” he said.

Some players were not invited to showcases because Luck said they already had a large amount of film.

Many have wondered if 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is on the league's radar, but Luck said that remains to be seen. Manziel played two games in the AAF before the league folded.

This will be a busy month for the league. Besides beginning to sign players, the names and logos of the eight teams are expected to be unveiled. There will also be another session of rules testing using players from The Spring League in Southern California that will be attended by coaches, ESPN and Fox.
