Council sends sales tax increase to the voters

THE BEAUTIFUL CONCERT CELEBRATES OUR FREEDOM

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- As Ventura County, and most of the rest of the state closed its doors on July 4th weekend, First Presbyterian Church in Oxnard respected social distancing needs and hosted an America the Beautiful Concert in its parking lot.

Oxnard--During the July 7, Oxnard City Council meeting, the body voted unanimously to place a transaction and use (sales tax) measure on the November ballot.

The Oxnard 911 Safety Medical Response, Financial Recovery and Accountability Measure, is a local 1.5 cent fund for just the city if voters approve the measure.

The council offered no resistance, and the consensus was that the city needs the money.

COVID-19 hurt the city dramatically and impeded the progress the city made over the fiscal year 2019-2020.

Virtual discussion reviews deep seeded racism history and distrust of police

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The murder of George Floyd has touched off the glaring need to destroy racism in America, and the July 1, virtual discussion took another critical step to make that dream a reality.

Panelists, both young and old, relived some past and recent scary memories that drive home the fact that society has a long way to go.

City Manager Alex Nguyen said

the virtual event is one of many conversations occurring about racism across the country.

He showed a video from 1967, where black neighborhoods in 150 cities across America erupted in protest after years of racial tension.

Black communities protested abuse from “mostly white” police departments, which led with more force by police and National Guard members.

Carl Parcell from the Detroit Police Officers Association said

during the video that “you can’t fight violent criminals with nonviolent methods.”

These protests led to violent clashes with police and destruction.

Nguyen introduced people asked to participate in the discussion, and each one spoke vividly about racism.

Maite Alonzo was president of the Youth Director’s Council at the Oxnard Police Athletic League (PAL) for five years and wanted to push Oxnard to think more

progressively about community action and racism.

While growing up, she feared the police, but she didn’t have any negative interactions.

“I was part of the Oxnard Police Activities League, where I served dinners, and I was still scared of them,” she said. “This isn’t a bad reflection of the Police Activities League and the job they’re doing, but despite these efforts to get the police more n Discussion, see page 10

I

’VE tried to suck it up and cope, but to lose something, start to get it back, and then lose it again is a tough one.

With nowhere to go, most of my neighborhood decided to create their own fun on the block over July 4th weekend. That included a garage band probably violating most of the noise ordinances in the area, but the people seemed to enjoy the effort, so I went along with the theme.

The part I didn’t enjoy was all the fireworks going off all night, and with two dogs and a cat at home, they were frantic throughout the parties. Fortunately, I guess, the J-Train stopped me from going out with my camera and collecting photos for the police.

The neighbors can also thank her for stopping me from getting in my car at 7 a.m., driving up and down the street, playing my stereo, honking my horn and

NEWS Council puts its faith in the executive team as budget woes grow

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The conversation about the fiscal year 2020-2021 budget continues with the proposed revenue forecast of $135 million versus $140.8 million of expenses.

T

HE council passed the budget on June 30 and used most of its rainy-day fund to backfill lost revenue due to COVID-19, along with the recession following the outbreak.

City Manager Alex Nguyen said the city’s general fund is approximately one-quarter of the city’s $568 million of its all city funds.

“We have Measure O, public safety and retirement funding, the enterprise funds, which are almost half, internal service and the housing authority,” he said.

Nguyen reminded the group that the city’s executive team took pay cuts, which saved the city $130,000 for the general fund for the fiscal year 2020-2021.

The Measure O forecast

for the fiscal year 2020-2021 is $13.5 million, followed by $13.2 million for the fiscal year 2021-2022.

“There’s more money coming in terms of the general fund paying back Measure O,” he said. “That’s the annual payback amount, about $1.9 million. That’s due from the $16 million we borrowed from Measure O for the general fund several years ago. Then there’s a minimum interest income, so you can see the revenues are, in total, $15.2 and $15.2 million.”

With the recession, Nguyen said not only does it impact the general fund, but it also impacts the money coming back to the city from Measure O. “Earlier in the year, we started the process before

the Measure O Committee to begin weaning off Measure O,” he said.

He remains hopeful that the federal government will provide another stimulus package and bailout state and local governments.

“The news is that it is still in discussion, and there is no tangible news,” he said. “If anything does come through, there are questions that need answering. First, and foremost, how much money will be allocated for the City of Oxnard? What’s important to me is what form will that money be? Will it be a bailout grant, would it be some sort of a loan, or would it be money to apply for reimbursements?

If it is a grant, it is not very helpful to us, because we don’t have any cash to front anything right now. If there is a bailout and there is a grant, it really doesn’t change anything for the budget we’re asking you to adopt unless it is at least $17 million or more.

That’s the number of our lost revenue from the end of this fiscal year and the next fiscal

year.”

If the city did get a $15 million bailout, he would recommend to the council that it puts the money back into the reserve and not change the budget.

“It’s the reserve that’s on thin ice,” he said. “The bailout, unless it’s hundreds of millions of dollars, does not change our fiscal condition.”

During public comments, Douglas Partillo said his wife is from Nicaragua, and there is a saying down there that you are wasting your saliva.

“I was looking at the budget, and I keep coming back to one issue that it is unsustainable,” he said. “I think the city manager got it right. With COVID-19, we’re in deeper problems. I think the budget is a reflection of our priorities as a community, and I feel like it is out of whack.

We’re not living within our means. We’re a working-class community, and we’ve been living beyond our means for too long, and with COVID, that will exasperate it. Many people don’t know it, but our safety workers got $64,000 per year in their pension.

That’s current and past safety workers. I worked for the

county, and we took a big hit on our pension. I worked there for 11 years, and I got $1,300 a month, and I was glad to have it.”

He does not agree with the Oxnard Navigation Center.

“At $34 million, investment for that building, our homeless population is going to grow,” he said. “With COVID-19 and the way everything is going, that place is not a good location.”

During Council comments, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez empathized with the public’s frustration over the city’s finances.

“Today, I talked to a resident who continues to call me about the condition of the park in her neighborhood,” she said. “I did ask her to listen in on this meeting about the budget, where our money comes from, how much we have, why we had to cut services. As the city manager said, we are lean.”

Councilman Bert Perello said none of the members are finance experts.

“We hire experts to work for us and do the best they can,” he said. “There comes a time in this position as an elected official that you need

to have trust that the people working for you are doing a good job. I have trust that the people working for us are doing a good job. It’s making some people uncomfortable that they have to face the music, but as the gentleman said, we’ve been living beyond our means. That’s been going on for a long time, and people didn’t want to face the music.”

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said there is a question about whether the city is stable financially, and the city needs more services.

“We have to live by our means,” he said.

Council Member Vianey Lopez said they looked at the comments sent in on the situation, as over 100 residents expressed their feelings.

“We have to reevaluate our funding and look at where the city’s funding is going,” she said. “In particular, with the movement to defund the police and what that means.

With the resolution we passed condemning racism, it is time to look thoughtfully and meaningfully at what options are available and how we can serve our residents n Budget, see page 6

DINING

Dill Pickled

Cucumbers

There is something about pickled veggies that drive me wild. I eat them raw, I eat them on every imaginable food, and I eat them stacked on other pickles. Pickles are not only delicious, they are good for you, too.

But, pickling can seem really daunting. I was so nervous to pickle my first veggies. Let me reassure you.

It’s so easy. And my method is as easy as it gets. Just add vinegar, salt, and some herbs together and you are good to go.

Makes one jar. Let me show you how to make Dill Pickled Cucumbers.

Ingredients - About 8 Kirby Pickles - 3 Cloves Garlic - 3 Stalks of Dill - ½ Tablespoon Salt - 1/8 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar - ¼ Cup Distilled White Vinegar - ¼ Cup White Wine Vinegar - Water - 32oz Mason Jar with Lid

P

Stuff the garlic and dill into the bottom of the mason jar. Cram as many Kirby cucumbers as you can into the jar. Add in the Vinegars and Salt, and top of with Water until the jar is full. Seal the jar and let sit for a couple of days to allow the vinegar to penetrate the cucumber. You can start eating them immediately, but if you can wait and let the pickles ferment for about a week, you will be amazed with your creation.

ICKLES are an incredible source of nutrients.

Don’t believe me, well pickles date back to at least 2030 BC. By immersing cucumbers in an acidic liquid or brine until they are fermented and no longer raw, Ancient

people were able to preserve not only cucumbers but many different types of fruits and vegetables. This made the food shelf stable for many months to years. Food can be hard to come by, so having a jar of pickles around can be a real life saver.

I hope you enjoyed this meal! If you would like to see more recipes and meal ideas follow me on Instagram @connor.cooks or visit my website www.connorcooksfood.com or shoot me an email connor­ cooksfood@ gmail.com.

Oxnard residents demand justice for Vannessa Guillen

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- Oxnard residents mobilized on July 4th, as a large crowd assembled at the corner of Fifth and C streets to educate the public about Vanessa Guillen.

A

CCORDING to published reports, Guillen was stationed at Fort Hood in Texas, and she was killed with a hammer, dismembered, and burned.

The group of protestors gathered at Plaza Park and was led by Ivone Sanchez, who is an Oxnard native and marched to raise awareness of the murder. Cars honked in support of the protest. “She was an innocent child who was murdered and killed, and we don’t know what happened because the military has not provided us with any answers,” she said. “They’re not telling us the truth.”

That scares Sanchez because she

is the mother of a 20-year-old female soldier, who is stationed in Germany.

“It’s heartbreaking to think this could happen to my daughter or anyone,” she said. “Vanessa claimed that she was sexually harassed, and she was scared that nobody was going to believe her. When she came forward, all of this started happening, and she ended up dead. We want to know what happened to her, and we want them to be responsible. We don’t want our kids to be raped and

murdered.”

This makes her concerned for her daughter, Itzel Pinto, who is an E3 in the Army.

“She’s 20 years old, and went to Pacifica High School here in Oxnard,” Sanchez said. “She is very proud to serve her country, and it’s sad that now this is happening, and it’s making her doubt.”

She talks to her daughter every day.

“After this happened, I got scared,

and I have to reach out almost twice a day,” she said. “I make sure she is safe and doing okay.”

Sanchez wants the Army to stop recruiting out of high schools.

“Most of the people they recruit, unfortunately, it’s the Latinos, the people of color,” she said. “They’re killing us, and they are not protecting our babies. We don’t want them in our high schools.”

She feels the military needs to screen the kids more thoroughly.

“They need to do a psychological exam before they get recruited,” she said.

She skipped celebrating July 4th.

“We have so many justice problems with Black Lives Matter,” she said. “It seems like there is nothing to celebrate.”

Dad said he and Ivone decided to take on this protest together.

“We have a 20-year-old daughter in the Army, and it’s hard seeing what’s going on with Vanessa and what happened to her,” he said.

“When something goes missing, they do anything in their power to find what is misplaced. Vanessa went missing, and it took them a while to search for her. They recently found her remains.”

He believes the incident got covered up.

“It was definitely a cover-up,” he said. “Her parents had to go to the news media to get them to start looking.”

Dad worries about his daughter every day.

“I support her 100 percent if that’s what you want to do,” he said.

“I am proud of my daughter. She got married, so she is coming back with her husband in September.”

holding drive-in services on March 29, and this event adds to that offering.

“We have people safely in their cars on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. worshipping God, and we have the band on stage,” he said. “We thought we would do some special events in the summer because there is a lack of anything going on here.”

Brandt was pleased that Mark and Kayla Bailey offered to help at the event. “We’ve known them for a bunch of years,” Brandt said. “Mark has been in Christian ministry for years and also has been in country music for a long time. He’s the perfect person to do this.”

COVID-19 shut the church down over Easter, but Randy, who worked the front gate, wrote protocols that allowed them to reopen with a drivein format. “We submitted them to the county, and they adopted them,” Brandt said. “That was pretty cool.”

Through all the drama and chaos, Ted said the Jesus watches over everyone and is for everyone. That is part of what’s going on in the United States.

“We finally realize what’s been

going on under the surface for years,” he said. “This Fourth of July is different, and some are complaining about it, but I think it’s a Fourth of July we need to have. We’ve not treated people well who are on the fringes and not like the majority.

That’s unfortunate, and we need to repent of that. Jesus can guide the way and make it true there is liberty and justice for all our people.”

Brandt said everyone is welcome at First Presbyterian Church, and you don’t need any religious background.

“It’s tough to make connections right now (because of COVID-19), and we are trying to do that at drivein church,” he said. “We get them started by giving them the word and giving them a chance to worship God. I publish my cell phone number online so people can call me at any time.” Songwriter Mark Bailey said every songwriter has a different process they write with.

“For me, it starts in my head,” he said. “I usually have some idea of what the tune is, and what the message and music is going to be.

It goes simultaneously because you want the message to match the music.

You can’t do a rock song.”

His daughter, Kayla Bailey, said she does not belong to First Presbyterian Church in Oxnard, but her dad leads worship and praise at the location.

“He loves working with the people in this community and spreading the Holy Spirit through music,” she said.

“He’s worked in worship ministries for over 25 years. That’s one of his passions.”

The duo performed a mixture of original songs and favorites.

“You’re going to hear some familiar folk tunes that you know and love from Bob Dylan, Peter Paul, and Mary and John Denver, but dad does throw in some original pieces,” she said.

She aids her dad in the writing process because inspiration can occur anywhere.

“I got him a set of notebooks last year, so he can write anywhere he can,” Kayla said. “He also writes on napkins, or whatever is around when inspiration strikes. Somehow, he’s got the formula down when it comes to contemporary Christian music.”

She admits that people can feel locked down through what

has become the second wave of COVID-19.

“People have to remember that we should exercise social distancing precautions, wear a mask in public, and do the best we can to stay safe and healthy,” she said. “We still need community and take care of our emotional health, as well. Spreading music will spread joy, love, and a sense of fellowship. Doing this concert will help do that and help out my dad. We haven’t performed together for a few years.”

Church Elder Annette Tarin said they are practicing safety protocols, and they can celebrate the birth of the United States.

“This gives us a chance to get together in a safe environment, follow all the safety protocols, yet celebrate our nation, country, and all the great things,” she said. “It’s a beautiful night, and we are excited about this.”

The evening started coming together in April when they started holding its drive-in church.

“Our gather team was meeting, and they wanted to do something,” she said. “We decided that it would

be fun to have Mark and Kayla Bailey come and sing. He is our worship leader and available.”

COVID-19 has shut Tarin down because of health issues.

“I did work remotely for a while, but I am still working,” she said. “I am usually a stay at home person, so I’m doing okay.”

Tracy Camargo brought her husband, kids, and dog to the concert and said the music is excellent.

“I saw this on Facebook,” she said.” We have four kids and a dog, and we thought it would be great to come out.” She doesn’t attend the church but loves their effort to make the COVID-19 blues a little easier to take.

“This makes a difference mentally, spiritually, and patriotic, she said. “With four school-age kids, COVID-19 has been tough. We’re trying to make the best of it with outdoor events, like this, and the beach. It’s hard to have the beach closed this weekend. We also have to stay outside, enjoy this beautiful creation, and hear music. First Presbyterian Church in Oxnard is located at 850 Ivywood Drive.

my kettlebell and work out. I don’t look any better, but I do need to buy more Naproxen and Icy Hot. That shortage became amplified when I taught the J-Train some exercises with the kettlebell.

One highlight this week was

having the Oxnard Public Library return in a limited capacity.

They’re offering curbside pickup, which is a consolation prize, at best, but it beats the J-Train spending $50 on books. The downside is not holding the book

before you borrow it, I’m told, but that is a J-Train quirk. Keep in mind that more books means me buying and putting together more bookshelves. Plainly put, I stink at putting together furniture. I did harvest some cans out of my

recycling bin this week, so when I head out to turn them in, I will stash that $5.

I hope you’re all doing well. If you don’t give the dog a haircut, at least then people, wives, and dogs won’t growl at you.

“Any major incident in our city, we’ll have problems, and we’ll have to borrow from the enterprise funds,” she said.

Mayor Tim Flynn pointed out that two-thirds of the city’s revenue comes from property and sales

taxes.

“The amount of money we are collecting in property tax is primarily because the housing costs and rent in this area,” he said. Families are stacked in these homes, he said, and they are not

generating a sufficient amount of property tax.

“The services they paid for and need are not being paid out of the property tax structure,” he said.

“With the sales tax, you have to have a disposable income. We have

SENIORS 805 Video Calling Solutions for Tech-Challenged Seniors

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some simple devices that can help techchallenged seniors with video calls? My 80-year-old mother has been isolating herself for months now in fear of the coronavirus and I haven’t been able to see her faceto-face in quite a while.

Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Video chatting is a great way to stay connected and keep tabs on an elder parent when you can’t be there, but it’s even more important now during this pandemic as many isolated seniors are also suffering from chronic loneliness.

To help connect you and your mom virtually, there are various products on the market that offer simple video calling for seniors who have limited ability or experience with technology. Here are four devices to consider.

During the last several months, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I have spent some quality time together. I’m assuming this is quality time, but I will have to get second opinion evidence about that.

Overall, we have been enjoying our time together without any interruptions, as usually is the case. My idea is to take advantage of the situation at hand, and taking advantage of this, we have been joyfully doing.

In the beginning of our marital relationship, I thought I was the master at taking advantage of situations. I was happy about that because that’s what a husband is supposed to do. I was soon to find out that this was not necessarily the FIGHTING FOR YOUR case. I don’t know how long this has been going on, but I discovered something in our FOR OVER 25 YEARS! relationship that I didn’t know.

cup of coffee, and took it in to her.

“Thank you,” she said with her beautiful smile, “this will just hit the spot.”

I then made my coffee, settled down, and got back to the movie.

I’m not sure what the movie was, all the Hallmark movies are the same as far as I’m concerned. As long as my wife enjoys them, I enjoy them too. I try to follow the plot, but I sometimes get it confused and have to ask questions.

“Aren’t you watching?” she said after one of my questions. “It’s the lady in the blue dress that did it.

Pay attention.”

Then another commercial came.

As I was getting up do something my wife said, “While you’re up, could you get me a refill on my coffee, please?”

Following my MO, I picked up her coffee cup, went into the kitchen, refilled it, did what I planned to do, and then brought it back to her.

With the most infectious smile, she said, “Thank You, I really appreciate this.”

At this point, I did not really know what was behind that smile.

The commercial was over, the movie resumed, and we were watching it together. I tried to follow the plot as best I could, but after all, it’s one of those woman movies, and a man has a hard time following along.

At least this man does.

The next commercial came, and my wife said, “While you’re up,

could you bring me some cookies from the kitchen?”

I got up, went to the kitchen, found the cookies, brought them back to her, and she said, “Thank you, I appreciate this so much.”

As I was walking to my chair, I tried to remember what I got up to do. For the life of me, I could not figure out what I went into the kitchen to do or get. I sat down and thought about it for a moment.

The movie came on, and I got engaged in it.

At the next commercial, my wife said, “While you’re up, could you bring me some more cookies from the kitchen? They were delicious.”

Again, I got up, went to the kitchen, got some more cookies, and brought them back to her.

Again she said, “Thank you, I appreciate this so much.”

When I sat down in my chair, I tried to figure out once more why I got up and went to the kitchen. I know I got her some cookies, but why did I want to go there in the first place?

I don’t often have brilliant ideas that strike me. But suddenly, I had such an euphoric experience. My wife was playing me, and I did not know it. She was trying to see how much she could get me to do for her without knowing what I was doing.

I kept my thoughts to myself and thought about how I could catch her. Obviously she’s been about this for a long time.

SENIORS 805 A Glory Glory Hallelujah time?!

Is our long-awaited real United States of America baby about to be born?! The one our slave ancestors, grandparents, parents and community co-parents died and struggled for—a real United States of America—with liberty and justice for all?

It’s way past time to clarify which God we truly trust in our nation—the god of our money, currency and American capitalism as we know it—or the God of our Native American ancestors, enslaved ancestors, African and African-American ancestors, civil rights martyrs and mothers and fathers who taught us to love one another—not enslave, exploit, abuse, lynch, segregate or disrespect one another. Isn’t it time to stop using God as a logo on our currency and follow the true God of our authentic faiths? And isn’t it past time to celebrate and protect the sanctity of all human beings oppressed by genocide, slavery and racial discrimination for any reason everywhere?

I love Mississippi poet Margaret Walker’s great poem “For My People.” I think of all the people of every race, color and faith who have struggled to birth and build a real United States of America.

For my people everywhere singing their slave songs repeatedly: their dirges and their ditties and their blues and jubilees, praying their prayers nightly to an unknown god, bending their knees humbly to an unseen power; For my people lending their strength to the years, to the gone years and the now years and the maybe years, washing ironing cooking scrubbing sewing mending hoeing plowing digging planting pruning patching dragging along never gaining never reaping never knowing and never understanding; For my playmates in the clay and dust and sand of Alabama backyards playing baptizing

NEWS Discussion continued from page 1

involved in the community in a positive way and show up at car shows as friendly cops is not enough.”

While at a peaceful protest in Washington D.C. three weeks ago, she remembers police officers swinging their batons, pointing at her and laughing.

“At that moment, I thought, who am I going to call when this police officer is beating me,” she said. “I was following the rules, I was not talking back, and I was going as an ally for the black people in America, and I was shot with rubber bullets, thrown tear gas, pushed and shoved by police officers. That is what I am going to remember as my interactions with police officers. Those are two days that I was terrorized by the police.”

Attorney Cynthia Gonzales and her family have lived in Ventura County for 30 years. She lost her 24-year-old son to gang violence and became an advocate for community and public safety and advocates community surveillance cameras.

Gonzales said she came to the event as someone who has black brothers, cousins, nephews, and a black father.

“Our world is so messed up right now,” she said. “I heard someone say that there is no systemic racism in Ventura County. That’s an interesting statement. I guess it would depend on how you define systemic racism.

The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) President Derek Johnson defined it as systems and structures that have procedures and processes that disadvantage African Americans. There are a lot of systems here in the United States that do exactly that. The sadness that I feel right now is that when you think about the police, you don’t want to think about brutality or excessive force, or even a criminal or murderer in the same sentence when you’re thinking about the police.

We want to believe that if there is a problem, we call the police and they’ll come to resolve the problem,

whatever it is, and they’ll enforce the law. That doesn’t necessarily happen in the black community. My son was not murdered by the police. My son was murdered by a gang member.”

She emphasized that all gang members are not murderers.

“Unfortunately, with our black community, what happens is we’re seen as criminals, no matter what level we’re on,” Gonzales said. “I was on my way home from law school, one night, and I got pulled over in Thousand Oaks. One of the first questions I was asked was, are you on parole? Do you have a felony, and are you on probation? I have never been on any of those things in my life, and, at that moment, I thought, why is he asking me those questions before he checks my driver’s license?”

She feels that many people in the community are judged first.

“My cousins, uncles, nephews, and brothers are often seen as suspicious black males,” she said. “The unfortunate part about that is, you define them as suspicious black males when you arrive at the scene, there’s this thought that they’re up to no good, and you need to protect yourself. Sometimes, I feel that the police create situations where they are afraid for their lives. That’s unfortunate, and that system’s from racism and lack of training. There needs to be more training. We need to continue to have these conversations and what we need to do. We need to look at solutions, and some of those solutions need to be alternatives. I’m not saying dismantle the police department but come up with a police oversight committee and come up with alternative community programs where they’re not sent out to these low-level crimes or events that don’t require a lethal response.”

Lifelong Oxnard resident Terell Harrison directs the city’s cultural and community services department. After 30 years with the city, he continues to find innovative ways to impact the city positively.

Harrison called himself a husband, father, son, brother, and to many, is considered a friend.

“I am also a representative of 2.7 percent of Oxnard’s population because I am a black man,” he said. “The interesting thing about being a black man, in this community, is there is no such thing as systemic racism because we’ve had a black president. Race is not an issue anymore because I have black friends. My favorite is, I don’t see color, and my response to that is I want you to see my color, see that I am a black man, and accept me for that. I may have a different culture than you. Accept my culture and accept me for who I am.”

Harrison is the president of the California Activities Athletic League and is on the board of directors for the National Police Activities Athletic League.

“The PAL Program is designed to bring the youth and police together,” he said. “I’m happy to say that I’ve designed programs that have affected in the city, the state, and the country that has brought the groups together. In my 51 years on this earth, yes, I have been harassed by the police. I have been pulled out of a car and been frisked and asked what am I doing here and what is my responsibility when I was visiting one of my friends in Riverside.

Had my father not been in law enforcement, and they called the probation office, I don’t know if they would have let me go.”

He wanted to let everyone know that they don’t recruit police officers from Mars.

They come from the City of Oxnard, around the state and the country.

“At one time, every single one of these police officers were young people,” he said.

“What are we teaching our young people at our dinner table? Systemic racism starts in the home. In some ways, we need to change how we police, but we also need to change what we teach to our young people.”

Retired Oxnard Police Officer Randy Latimer spent 30 years working on the force and counseled youngsters at

the Police Activities League.

He comes from a different perspective, as he is a black man, the son of the first black police officer in the City of Oxnard.

“He was greeted on the first day, when he walked into the squad room with the uniform, thinking that he was one of the brothers, and he was greeted with who’s going to ride with the coon?” he said. “Every step of his career, my dad, James Latimer, was greeted with resistance. From being educated, I remember a story he told me about being educated and walking down the hallway with schoolbooks and one of the white officers saying that’s trouble, right there. An educated “N,” that’s trouble.

Every promotion he got, he was sued because of the color of his skin.”

Randy followed in his dad’s footsteps, became a police officer and retired as a commander.

“I was a policymaker and in charge of hiring,” he said. “I had to be judicious in my interactions with this community, but I was connected to this community. I was the codirector of our PAL program, and I am the president of our PAL program and other youth programs in our city.”

He was grateful for the progressive programs within the Oxnard Police Department and said the city is still way ahead of the game.

“I had an epiphany moment at a family reunion several years ago,” he said.

“I thank my cousins who live on the east coast, who had to educate me. I would defend almost every action of the police. My cousin said that you and your dad were able to make positive changes in your department, and you have a progressive department that is willing to make changes and do good things in your community.

However, there is police brutality and negative interactions with police officers in everyday life in our community. That woke me up. Implicit bias and, in some cases, stonecold racism does exist in a uniform. Training and

proper hiring practices were finding people who come from our community.

They don’t necessarily have to come from the City of Oxnard, but they come from a city or a diverse community that looks like the city they’re going to serve. There would be beneficial and robust training and recognition of the fact there is institutional racism in high effect today.”

Retired Ventura County Probation Officer Peter Martinez was born and raised in the Colonia neighborhood and has been active in the community for 40 years.

When he saw the video that Nguyen presented, Martinez said it reminded him of the 1960s Oxnard Police Department.

“The Oxnard Police Department was an invading army, and they were controlling the Colonia,” he said. “There was one newspaper article about community folks asking for a probe of the Oxnard Police Department. I have an article from the 1970s, with protest after protest about the Oxnard Police Department.”

The city had a major disturbance against the Oxnard Police Department on July 12, 1971, and he was there.

“When you read the newspaper account, it was nowhere near accurate to what was taking place.

People were fed up with racism and how they were being treated. This was the result. I remember vividly that there was an organized protest against the Vietnam War. By that time, 58,000 troops had been killed in Vietnam. The vast majority were people of color, African-American, and Chicano soldiers.”

The organized protest from Colonia Park to the community center, he said, and the group was marching up Third Street and the Oxnard Police Department with highpowered rifles.

“I have a vivid recollection of the racism that came from the Oxnard Police Department,” he said. “The Oxnard Police Department from today is not the same

police department it was in the 1960s and 1970s. I give much of the credit to Chief Scott Whitney for bringing the department to where it is today.”

Chief Scott Whitney said these are difficult but important conversations, and he respects all the panelists.

“I come here tonight with an open heart and mind,” he said. “We’re not going to shy away from any of this. We’re not going to take a defensive position. We see this as an opportunity to make the policing profession better.

That’s how we’re going to approach it and take the initiative.”

For much of the country’s history, Whitney said the police department imposed the status quo of oppression and discrimination.

“Much progress has been made, but more still needs to be done,” he said. “There are over 18,000 law enforcement agencies in our country.

I believe there is a wide spectrum of department policies and department practices that range from subtle bias and oppression to police brutality. The answer isn’t as simple as a few bad apples. The reality is that California has been leading the nation in police reform. There have been lots of changes in the laws over the last two-or-three years, in particular.”

He didn’t want to review but did want to look forward. Whitney said the department hires people with big hearts and a passion for public service.

“Nobody comes to us with an adequate understanding of race relations, the history of police brutality or implicit bias,” he said. “Nobody comes to us with that knowledge. I’ve talked to a lot of people over the last four weeks, and my guess is that people did not graduate from high school, college, or even an advanced degree or an understanding of that.

We’re going to do our part and try to do more training in our department and at the academy. There is a load to be borne by our school system, as well.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2020

Voters continued from page 1

conversation and noted the issue about a sales tax increase was happening on the second anniversary of his arrival at Oxnard City Hall.

“In the two years I have been here, we had to bring many difficult decisions for the council to make in our effort to make improvements across the board for this organization,” he said. “Tonight, is probably the most important council meeting in my two years here. I was hired to help turn this city around and make Oxnard a better city. As your city manager, I need to tell you that the sales tax measure that I am recommending and asking you to consider putting it on the November ballot is absolutely necessary for the sake of Oxnard’s future.”

Even without the pandemic and recession, he still planned to ask for the increase.

“Our fiscal problems in this organization and this city preceded the pandemic and the recession, which only made things much worse,” he said. “If we decide to place the item on

the November ballot tonight, and later, in November, if the voters approve it, it will ensure the financial viability of this city for generations to come.”

Nguyen said he attended 30 neighborhood council meetings with members of his team, and also met with the Rotary Club, the GOOD Club, the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce, and the Oxnard Young Professionals.

“After having been here for over a year and learning about the circumstances of the organization and listening to complaints, critiques, and wishes from the community, and it boiled down to one question,” he said. “Do we want things to improve or not?

The answer was an obvious yes by an overwhelming majority of the people.”

With that question answered, Nguyen said some things have to change.

“If nothing changes, we get what we get,” he said. “Frankly, it will only get worse.”

He gets pictures of parts of the city from residents and

said the staff “is very aware” of the poor conditions.

“We don’t like this, we are not proud of this, and we do the best we can, given the resources that we have,” he said.

Nguyen reminded everyone that local government gets funded by taxation, and Oxnard is a public entity and not part of the private sector.

“Profit is not our main motive,” he said. “Out of every sales tax dollar, we get 7.75 percent. The base is 1 percent, and the temporary Measure O is a half percent. The rest of the sales tax funds go to the state and county.”

Under the current tax structure, a $20 shirt generates 30 cents from the $1.55 sales tax.

With the council placing the tax on the ballot and if the voters approve it in November, Oxnard will get to keep 60 cents from the same purchase.

The city gets 17.6 percent of every property tax dollar that residents pay, each year.

Nguyen also reviewed the

rest of the funds, utilities, grants, special taxes, special assessments, and bond proceeds, which are restricted and not part of the general fund.

“We are looking at deficits in the budget we just proposed,” he said. “If you look out into future years, we have multi-million deficits, leading up to double-digit deficits in the years 2023 through 2025.

This is unsustainable and untenable for us. Our reserves will be depleted by the end of this year, so we have no money left to dip into.”

Additionally, Nguyen said Measure O is fully encumbered and looking at debts, moving forward.

“It means you’re going to cut some of the expenses, or it has to be reabsorbed by the general fund,” he said. “The good news is we’ve already started the process to wean this organization off Measure O, realizing that it expires in spring, 2029. Administratively, we’ve taken this philosophy to the Measure O Committee

and the council about the need to be able to wean off of Measure O. We started that process prior to the pandemic and the recession.”

Nguyen challenges anyone to scour through the budget and find fat and reminded the audience that Oxnard is running lean.

“We have 1,032 miles of streets if you count all the lanes,” he said. “That’s a lot of roadways to maintain each year.”

The city has budgeted $11.5 million for streets but needs over $13 million to keep them in its current shape, which he said is not great.

“We have 650 miles of sidewalks and 70 miles of alleys,” he said. “Alleys are a special challenge for us because we’re not able to expend any of the gas tax money to maintain our alleys. It’s almost like a secondary road system that we are totally on our own to take care of.”

The city also has 56,000 trees, and the city does not have enough money to keep

them on a proper pruning cycle.

“We’re on a 35-year tree trimming cycle,” he said. “We also have to do a spot check when we get noticed that a tree is sick or unhealthy.”

The city is supposed to be on a 10-year cycle.

Nguyen said the city must address the housing and homeless crisis, whether they like it or not, and the city does not have the money for the needs of the homeless.

“In addition to these crises, we have the pandemic, the recession, and the Black Lives Matter movement sweeping the nation right now,” he said.

“There’s a lot going on that we have to deal with.”

Underlying all these challenges, Nguyen said Oxnard’s financial crisis still exists.

“We have to address this at a time when it seems counterintuitive to ask for a sales tax increase,” he said.

This story will continue with public and council comments on July 17.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2020

HEALTH Scientists urge WHO to acknowledge virus can spread in air LONDON (AP)—More than 200 scientists have called for the World Health Organization and others to acknowledge that the coronavirus can spread in the air—a change that could alter some of the current measures being taken to stop the pandemic.

I

N a letter published this week in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, two scientists from Australia and the U.S. wrote that studies have shown “beyond any reasonable doubt that viruses are released during exhalation, talking and coughing in microdroplets small enough to remain aloft in the air.” That means people in certain indoor conditions could be at greater risk of being infected than was previously thought.

The WHO has long maintained that COVID-19 is spread via larger respiratory droplets, most often when people cough or sneeze, that fall to the ground. It has dismissed the possibility of airborne

transmission, except for certain high-risk medical procedures, like when patients are first put on breathing machines.

In a statement on Monday, the U.N. health agency said it was aware of the article and was reviewing it with technical experts.

WHO has been criticized in recent weeks and months for its seeming divergence from the scientific community. The organization for months declined to recommend mask-wearing, partly out of supply concerns and has also continued to describe the transmission of COVID-19 from people without symptoms as “rare.”

The letter was endorsed by 239 scientists from a variety of fields. It stated that the issue of whether or not COVID-19 was airborne was of “heightened significance” as many countries stop restrictive lockdown measures.

The authors cited previous studies suggesting that germs closely related to the new virus were spread via airborne transmission.

They said “there is every reason to expect” that the coronavirus behaves similarly. They also cited a Washington state choir practice and research about a poorly ventilated restaurant in Guangzhou, China, each of which raised the possibility

of infections from airborne droplets.

“We are concerned that the lack of recognition of the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19 and the lack of clear recommendations on the control measures against the airborne virus will have significant consequences,” the scientists wrote.

“People may think they are fully protected by adhering to the current recommendations but in fact, additional airborne interventions are needed.”

Scientists around the world have been working furiously to understand the new virus. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it is thought to

mainly jump from person to person through close contact, but adds: “We are still learning about how the virus spreads.”

Martin McKee, a professor of European Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who was not linked to the letter, said the scientists’ arguments sounded “entirely reasonable.”

“Part of the problem is that everybody at WHO was moving with the paradigm of influenza, even though we know there are lots of differences between influenza and coronaviruses,” he said.

McKee noted that with Britain’s recent reopening of its pubs, restaurants and salons, the possibility of airborne coronavirus transmission might mean stricter interventions are needed indoors, including more mask-wearing and continued physical distancing.

“We’re getting accumulating evidence about super-spreading events happening in indoor spaces where there are large numbers of people in confined spaces,” he said.

“Many of these are in exactly the circumstances that governments now want to open up.”

Latino, Black neighborhoods struggle with test disparities

By Anita Snow PHOENIX (AP)—A Latino cook whose co-worker got COVID-19 waited in his truck for a free swab at a rare testing event in a low-income neighborhood in Phoenix. A Hispanic tile installer queued up after two weeks of selfisolation while his father battled the coronavirus in intensive care. He didn’t know his dad would die days later.

As the pandemic explodes in diverse states like Arizona and Florida, people in communities of color who have been exposed to the virus are struggling to get tested. While people nationwide complain about appointments being overbooked or waiting hours to be seen, getting a test can be even harder in America’s poorer, Hispanic and Black neighborhoods, far from middle-class areas where most chain pharmacies and urgent care clinics offering tests are found.

“There really isn’t any testing around here,” said Juan Espinosa, who went with his brother Enrique to the recent drive-up testing event in Phoenix’s largely Latino

Maryvale neighborhood after a fellow construction worker was suspected of having COVID-19.

“We don’t know anywhere else to go.”

Arizona—the nation’s leader in new confirmed infections per capita over the past two weeks—and its minority neighborhoods are just starting to feel what New York and other East Coast and Midwestern communities experienced several months ago, said Mahasin Mujahid, associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley’s School of Public Health.

“It’s the perfect storm as this hits unlevel playing fields all across the U.S.,” said Mujahid, a social epidemiologist who studies health in disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Public health officials say widespread testing to rapidly identify and isolate infected people can help ensure residents of underserved neighborhoods get care while slowing the virus’s spread.

“Pandemics expose the inequalities in our health care system,” said Dr. Thomas Tsai, assistant professor at the Harvard

T.H. Chan School of Public Health and a surgeon at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “What is needed is to make testing free and as available as possible.

“Outreach to the Hispanic population, the Black community, to immigrants, the most vulnerable, unprotected people is critical for public health,” with a national response being ideal, he said.

But President Donald Trump’s administration has delegated responsibility for testing to states that have stitched together a patchwork of responses, forcing private foundations and nonprofit community health organizations to fill in the gaps and ensure people of

color are reached.

“If you just set up the testing sites in wealthy communities, you cannot rein this in,” said Dr. Usama Bilal, assistant professor at Drexel’s Dornsife School of Public Health in Philadelphia, where Black doctors recently won city funding for testing in African American neighborhoods.

When Florida officials were slow to roll out testing in the migrant community of Immokalee, the nonprofit Coalition of Immokalee Workers called on the international aid group Doctors Without Borders for help.

The Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation in

Chicago pushed hard before getting support from the city’s Racial Equity Rapid Response Team to deliver free, widespread testing in that Black neighborhood.

“It hit the African American communities very, very hard,” said the corporation’s executive director, Carlos Nelson. “We have since had great success in getting people tested and bringing numbers down. ” In Arizona, the free drive-up testing June 27 drew nearly 1,000 people and was just the second big event of its kind in the heavily Latino neighborhood of Maryvale.

The first event, held June 20 by the privately funded Equality Health Foundation, drew criticism when much larger crowds than expected showed up, and some people waited for as long as 13 hours. Organizers had decided to take in those without appointments.

“It shows that there is an unavailability of testing if there is that kind of demand,” said Will Humble, executive director of the Arizona Public Health Association and former head of the state Department of Health Services.

MOVIE REVIEW

“You Should Have Left”

By Bob Garver

a huge house in Wales. Strangely, each one thinks the other found the listing.

The family goes to the house and Theo starts losing his mind.

He kicks out Susanna and continues to have nightmares and hallucinations about doors and hallways that aren’t there.

Ella has similar nightmares validating Theo’s uneasy feelings, and together they figure out that something is very wrong with the house. The two get stuck in a sort of alternate dimension where they keep getting lost in the house and trying to escape only to keep looping back. If Theo wants to rescue Ella and himself, he’ll have to face some personal demons, because this house in Wales is well in tune with what people did out in Los Angeles.

This movie doesn’t offer up any original scares or compelling characters or drama, instead just running through a checklist of things that are expected of haunted house movies (cute kid, tortured parent, bumps in the night, prophetic locals, and of course characters not getting out of the house until it’s too late).

Seemingly all the energy is put into the Theo/Stetler twist, which I refuse to respect as a twist. It would still be easily guessable, but at least a step up if the alter ego wore a mask or we only saw him in silhouette. But there is no confusion that the guy is Kevin Bacon in a hat and glasses. All mystery leaves this film from the moment we see the character, and with it, any chance the movie had of being taken seriously. Don’t watch this movie and realize that “You Should Have Left” a long time ago, just don’t start it in the first place.

“You Should Have Left” is the latest film to “skip a planned theatrical release” and go straight to On Demand, supposedly to placate audiences stuck at home while theaters are closed. But make no mistake, this movie is not sacrificing a lucrative theatrical release for your benefit. It saw a weekend that was relatively free of new On Demand releases and it jumped in that spot so it could play to audiences in some form without any competition from better movies. If it had been released in theaters, it would have been eaten alive, though I suspect going straight to On Demand was always its destiny. Such is often the fate of uninspired garbage like this.

T

HE movie opens with a little girl named Ella (Avery Essex) hearing noises in her bedroom.

She goes through the usual steps of checking on red herrings before something surprises her.

That something is a creepy man named Stetler, who wants to tell her a secret about her father Theo (Kevin Bacon). Then Ella wakes up from her nightmare, and good, it was all a dream. Then Stetler appears again, and this time Theo wakes up from a dream.

Theo goes into the bathroom and curses his nightmares.

Three big problems with the opening scene: 1) Stetler is very obviously played by Kevin Bacon, to the point where I didn’t know until much later that I was supposed to think he and Theo were different characters. 2) the double jump scare is cheap and illogical, since this is supposed to be Theo’s nightmare. 3) Theo curses the nightmares to nobody in particular, except of course for the audience, so the movie can

Grade: D-

lazily establish that this character does in fact have nightmares.

We then get a taste of the life Theo leads with Ella and his wife

Susanna (Amanda Seyfried). He’s a banker accused of murdering his ex-wife, though he was acquitted. Susanna is an actress

about to go on a two-month shoot in London who wants to get in a family vacation before she leaves.

She and Theo settle on staying in

“You Should Have Left” is available On Demand through streaming services and likely through your local cable provider. The film is rated R for some violence, disturbing images, sexual content and language. Its running time is 93 minutes.

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 7/30/2020 at 10:30 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.

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 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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.

Mercy House touts neighborhood stability as a big selling point

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

California, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon,” he said. “My brother Eric and I started the company in 2011, and we’ve been focused on low-income populations, seniors, homeless veterans, chronic homeless, people with severe mental illness, and those with special needs, including Native American Populations and those who suffer from substance abuse.”

The company does new construction and rehabilitates existing properties.

“We’ve completed 1,600 units in our short tenure as a company over 22 properties,” he said. “We own and operate the buildings long term and act as the developer.”

“We partner with non-profit and community organizations such as Mercy House to make sure our communities have high-quality residences, as well as wrap-around services to maintain occupancy,” he said.

Community Development Partners’ expertise is in the financing, construction, and oversight, he said, and they work on complicated projects with complicated financing structures.

“That’s been our bread and butter since we’ve started,” he said.

“We take pride in being able to leverage local resources, such as city funding and project-based vouchers, to leverage out of state

Oxnard-- The conversation about the new Oxnard Navigation Center on Second Street continues with Housing Director Emilio Ramirez saying he presented the item to the Commission on Homelessness, which considered objecting to the project, but the motion failed.

T

HE Oxnard City Council approved an exclusive development agreement with Community Development Partners and the city on June 30 to help the homeless crisis in California and how that has manifested in the community.

Community Development Partners President Kyle Paine and Mercy House Executive Director Larry Haynes joined the conversation. Paine said Community Development’s mission is creating and sustaining affordable housing with wrap-around services and lifeenhancing amenities to benefit the communities and residents it serves.

“We focus strictly on affordable housing and work across for states,

and federal funding to be able to do these projects and create dynamic communities.”

Through its partnership with Mercy House, Paine said they’ve merged their experience with Mercy House’s ground services to serve special needs populations.

“Together, we’ve been able to create multiple projects in Southern California and Arizona,” he said.

“The project proposed at Second and B streets is an exciting project for us. We have some experience collectively with Mercy House.

This project is in our wheelhouse, very much. We currently operate with Mercy House, which runs the largest permanent supportive housing project in Orange County.

We have 72 units of chronically homeless in housing that has wraparound services. Mercy House does have partners onsite along with a large community carton program and a commercial kitchen that provides meals for our residents.”

They have a shared goal to end the homeless problem in Santa Ana. “We want to create a vibrant community where our residents can really grow and improve their lives,” Paine said. “We also operate the only permanent supportive housing program in Newport Beach, which is where our offices are located.

That includes housing for formerly homeless veterans and low-income

seniors. Together, through our partnership with Mercy House, we’ve entered into construction with 383 affordable housing units across five different projects, with 135 of those units being for affordable supportive housing.”

The company is also planning and has funding for an additional 254 units, he said, and 159 of those units having permanent supportive housing.

“Our partnership with Mercy House has created amazing projects and has made a difference in the community that we serve,” he said.

“We are confident that this project in Oxnard is going to be funded and operated well. We’ll have the services and funding needed to maintain long-term residents in supportive housing units. The proposed project funding is very similar to some of the projects we have worked on with Mercy House. The low-income tax credits we’ve used on all of the projects we have done. Including the 22 projects we completed.”

Community Development Partners also uses “No Place like Home” funding, he said, and there have been two rounds of funding since the program started.

“There were two awards, one in Los Angeles and one in Riverside for projects,” he said. “We’ve also worked with MHSA, which is the parent source of this funding on our

project in Santa Ana.” Haynes has been the Mercy House Executive Director for 30 years, and they’ve developed a lot of shelters throughout Southern California.

“Our footprint is well over 1,000 beds, as we speak,” he said. “This is something we’ve done well for quite a long period-of-time in many different settings for all populations.

Adults, families, couples, anyone you can think of.”

Mercy has also done plenty of permanent housing projects with Community Development Partners themselves, he said, and the two companies have teamed up for nine projects spanning 637 units.

“This something that I feel confident in our ability to execute on because we’ve done it for so many years,” he said. “A very high value to us at Mercy House is the neighborhood ethic. It is important to us that we do not have a negative impact on the surrounding community. We’ve built and operated shelters on all kinds of communities you can imagine.

This is something that is incredibly important to us. Contrary to popular opinion, if you were to come and visit any of our locations, you would see they are the nicest and best-kept facilities on our block. We’ve actually increased property value.”
