PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES CAN AND DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Rehab Point Picnic celebrates life

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

Oxnard—Oxnard Beach Park was the backdrop for a fantastic day, July 14, as the 27th Annual Rehab Point Project Picnic came off without a hitch and celebrated the spirit that abounds in the city's special population, along with seniors, and disabled American Veterans.

T

HE event featured a free lunch, live entertainment, raffle prizes, local services providers with lots of information, and most of all, fun and festivities for everyone who attended.

Rehab Point Project President Christine Portillo said she started singing the National Anthem during her lunch hour in 1998 and did not know what the project was about, but she learned quickly.

"During my first have years, Mr. Chambers and Harriet asked me to join the committee," she said. "I like it, I joined it, and I

have been president for 11 years."

To her, the pathway is essential because when Ed Hunt became disabled, he wanted access to the beach. Hunt was a military veteran and suffered a stroke at age 70 and was wheelchair-bound and paralyzed on the left side of his body.

"They would carry him in a wheelchair," he said. "With the opening of the pathway, they were able to see and walk it with their wheelchair. Ever since then, even though the sand covers it up, or there is graffiti, we've been able to get people to help us maintain it."

She called the pathway a healing

place for people who come and use it.

"Today I am out here enjoying, and I thank God that I've got a lot of help from the Elks and the Knights of Columbus," she said. "During the year we have a meeting every month, and some people show up. n Rehab Point, see page 6

Channel Islands Harbor Art Festival is a shopper's delight

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Channel Islands Harbor Art Festival was a treat for shoppers looking for special prizes for their home, July 13, as shoppers stocked up on original pieces of art, along with collectibles that you could never buy in a store.

The event featured hand-carved surfboards, art, drawings, wind chimes and jewelry galore, each an original piece of art that each artist created with love and passion for their craft.

Ronda Mills organized the show and made sure there was a diverse collection of art available for the public.

“We have approximately 40 artists creating their work for sale,” she said. “All mediums of fine arts and fine crafts, paintings, sculpture, photography, mixed media and jewelry.”

She loves hosting the event at the marina.

“The weather is perfect,” she said. “I come from the desert where it is over 100 degrees this weekend. The marina is pleasant for us.”

She loves the creativity involved with the artistic world.

“I work my hours, and the artists are great,” she said. “I love meeting with the artists and talking about how it is created. I buy their work without going to a gallery. It’s a good relaxing day to look at beautiful work.”

Mills screens the work carefully before it makes a show.

“It’s all juried, and nothing manufactured or resale,” she said.

Daughter Kristy Reed said her taste hasn’t changed a lot since she was a little girl.

Growing up with the artists, I have a lot of pieces from artists that I know and aren’t alive anymore. I still have a little part of them with me. I have the art because of the relationship I formed with the artist.”

The two discuss each show on the ride home.

“We already discussed it this morning with some of the artists,” Ronda said. “It’s going well today.”

Yu-Neek Art by Christine Madrid featured lots of whimsical designs from yesteryear.

“I go back to everyone’s happy spot and match that up,” Christine said. “I have been doing it for over 40 years, and I have been with Ronda Miller for over 30 years.”

Pieces like Rocky and Bullwinkle and Fractured Fairy tales she grew up with, and she loves re-creating them.

“For the collectibles, I build all the boxes around them,” she said. “All the jewelry is one of a kind, and they go back to Cracker Jack toys.”

She also had a group of paintings, which are her favorites. n Channel Islands, see page 6

City steps up to help the homeless

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The Oxnard City Council waived the city’s land-use regulations, July 16, which permit National Guard Armory to serve as a 24hour-a-day shelter through December 31, 2019 and authorized the Mayor to execute Professional Services Agreement with Mercy House to provide homeless shelter services.

The group also approved a $1.5 million budget appropriation in Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) grant funding from the State and Local Grant Fund for shelter operations and Downtown Pilot Efforts.

Housing Director Emilio Ramirez presented the item and said he was glad to be before the city council.

The homeless service program runs through the Housing Department for the City of Oxnard and includes Mark Alvarado and Karl Lawson, who is currently out of the country.

The team includes the entire department that works together and provides a complete menu of services, like the housing authority, affordable housing development, grants management, fair housing, and rent stabilization within that program.

“They also have the support of a dedicated homeless commission that is led by Peggy Rivera,” Ramirez said.

The homeless service program in the city is young and succeeded within a significant amount of time.

Oxnard adopted a five-year plan and is complete.

The plan identifies eight community goals, he said, which includes strengthening community partnerships, and a street outreach team. The city will work to reduce vagrancy and open a year-round shelter.

“We’re going to increase opportunities for adults and children, connect with social and mental health services, increase housing choices and offer follow-up services,” he said. “We’re actively working on this, and we will add more to that list.”

The homeless service program converted the current winter warming shelter to a full-time shelter in early 2019, and the staff operated the temporary shelter of 110 beds

from early Jan. until June.

He also recognized Ventura County and the Community Action Network and told the council if it weren’t for those groups, the shelter would have failed.

“The collective team offered 4,963 points of assistance over six months and helped 892 unduplicated persons,” he said. “There were 35 people helped with permanent housing or family reunification, and various employment opportunities were offered. County homeless services behavioral health and animal services provided weekly case management and services to the shelter guests while limiting impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.” n Homeless, see page 2

Homeless continued from page 1

The city took on a pilot project to bring homeless services to downtown and offer a better living environment and quality of life in the downtown neighborhood and Plaza Park. The city homeless service team joined the collaborative effort of 32 service providers that got together in June and brainstormed efforts to bring services to Plaza Park.

“We started to do an assessment to a resource allocation, leading to an effort from police and the city attorney’s office to bring forth better enforcement, ordinances, and resources,” he said. “We’re hovping that we are going to be able to provide services to the homeless population at Plaza Park downtown without relocating that encampment to another area in town. We hope to provide an end of homelessness to some of the people downtown, and we can reduce the impact.”

Through the collaborative efforts, the city knows 42 people consistently reside in Plaza Park, and the collaborative team has identified a myriad of services for the area, including mental health, substance abuse treatments, housing vouchers, medical and dental services, education services, clothing, and family reunification to name a few.

“At the same time, we are going to work with the police department, the city attorney’s office, and the local downtown businesses to provide for a repurpose of the park and keep it clear,” Ramirez said. “We are active in our effort to bring in a street outreach team to the City of Oxnard dedicated to responding, as the public and the business community may need.”

The city is also pursuing a tenant-based rental assistance program through the housing authority, which has a preference for homeless vouchers. He plans to return in the future with a setaside of attrition vouchers.

“We’re working on all of those things right now,” he said.

Establishing a homeless shelter “has been a good fight,” and something the city continues to undertake, and the group needs a long-term solution for the homeless population to reside.

“We’re working to avoid a gap in service while we look for a permanent site,” he said. “We set us on a trajectory to make sure we didn’t close the shelter, and we needed to engage Mercy House, the procured operator, and we did that via an on-board agreement under the delegated authority of the city manager.”

The shelter has been re-named from Mercy House to the Oxnard Re-Navigation Center.

In the three weeks that Mercy House ran the shelter, he said they hired and trained 24 staff members, including four housing navigators, met with 103 shelter guests and assigned them a housing navigator and worked on an individualized plan.

“They accommodated 13 pets in association with Buddy Nation, and they connected a pregnant mom with housing two days before she was going to deliver.

She delivered in a stable housing environment.”

NEWS Finance and Governance Committee reviews policies and procedures manual

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Finance and Governance Committee for the City of Oxnard reviewed changes to the proposed policies and procedures manual, July 9, and reviewed redlined changes in the document.

T

HE document has been a work in progress, and according to City Attorney Stephen Fischer, the committee was reviewing version four.

During public comments, Ray Blatell told the group that he supplied the city with written documents that would make the policies and procedures manual stronger.

Fischer told the committee that he added wastewater to the list of services the city provides at the suggestion of Committee Member Bert Perello, who asked for the addition when the committee examined the document in April. “I’ve also updated the fulltime equivalent employee count, and I received some input from the CFO (Chief Financial Officer Kevin Riper)

on how budgeting characterizations go,” Fischer said. “The last line of the introductory says in addition to the updated employee count, the city has assets totaling nearly $3 billion in value. That updates the prior number that was in there, $1 billion.”

The committee agreed that number will reflect the time and date of the document and can be amended.

Committee Member Gabriela Basua asked about updating the document annually for the budget, and Fischer said the intent of the policies and procedures manual is not to provide some overriding rules to things it is not meant to cover.

“There are procedural rules that are adopted through this document, but this is also meant to be a representation of background that would be useful for the public watching the council conduct its business, as well as new council members when they come on board and learn how the city operates,” he said.

Committee Chairman Tim Flynn told the group that it took a couple of years to get the document finalized when they first started working on it, and he doesn’t know if it was completed.

“It’s like a living document,” he said.

“I’ve expressed to Mr. Fischer on a

couple of occasions, the fact that this is the fourth revision, I’m hoping for right now with all that he has on his plate that we put this to rest right now and this is it. If we think about it, we can find an amendment that we want to make every couple of months.”

City Manager Alex Nguyen said the document should be revised every five years, but the city is doing it now since the system has changed from five to seven, so the city “might as well grind through and get it done as best it can.”

He proposed the committee revisit

Oxnard Police reviews reducing opioid deaths in the city

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Public Safety Committee for the City of Oxnard received a report from Police Chief Scott Whitney about reducing Opioid deaths in the city, July 9, and what people can do about the problem.

An opioid is a class of drug that includes illegal drugs like heroin and includes synthetic drugs like Fentanyl, which Whitney said is the department’s biggest problem.

“It also includes prescription pain relievers like oxycodone, Vicodin, Codeine, and Morphine,” he said.

Whitney described the nature of the problem in detail, and he said if an airliner crashed each day in the United States, that’s the number of people who die each day, about 130 people, from drug overdoses of mostly painkillers.

“In our city, we had 41 deaths last year,” he said. “The number of deaths had risen fivefold since 1998, and unfortunately this significant increase has not topped out yet, and that’s a big problem.”

In 1991, the United States peaked at 24,700 homicides, he said, and traffic fatalities peaked in 1972 with 54,000.

“The most recent number I have for drug overdoses is 2016, and that was 64,000,” he said. “It was more than traffic fatalities, it is threefold more than homicides, and it has not peaked yet.”

There were 170 drug overdose deaths in Ventura County during 2018, and Whitney said the City of Ventura had the highest number, 44.

“Oxnard had 41,” he said. “In our city, we had 14 homicide deaths in 2018. Those are the ones that get the

headlines, and those are the ones that people talk about. Rightfully, that’s 14 too many. We had 17 traffic fatalities. If you combine those, it’s still significantly less than the drug overdoses.”

The department has developed a close relationship with Ventura County Behavioral Health, he said, and Oxnard is one of the leaders in training their law enforcement officers, who now carry Naloxone.

Naloxone is a legal drug that neutralizes the fatal side effects of opioids and is also known as Narcan.

“The law changed in 2015, and pharmacies can now carry this and can sell it to anyone who wants to buy it without a prescription,” he said. “We encourage anybody who has a family member who may have an addiction to opioids or anybody who may come in contact with somebody who is using opioids to have one of these with them.”

The county will also give Naloxone to anyone who meets the criteria of a family member who has an addiction.

“The county will distribute this to you, no questions asked, for free,” he said. “To date, we’ve distributed over

4,000 of these for free throughout the county.”

The Oxnard Police responded to 190 overdose calls in 2018, and they administered Naloxone nasal spray nine times. The department has over 150 personnel trained and authorized to administer Naloxone.

“Most of the time, our EMS (Emergency Medical Service) get there before the officers,” he said.

“We look at it as nine lives that were potentially saved. Our officers came across one person; it wasn’t a call; the officer made contact with this person because he was concerned and made a determination that he had overdosed on an opioid and used this. That was clearly a life saved.”

Each police station has pharmaceutical bins, and the Oxnard Police Department collects between 40-50 pounds of pharmaceuticals each month.

“We partner with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) to hold National Drug Takeback days,” he said.

“This year, we’re taking it up a notch, and we are working with the three senior centers. Senior citizens often accumulate these pharmaceuticals, so we’re doing a drug takeback at those locations.”

The department also created a new drug overdose protocol, he said, and each time an officer responds to an overdose call they fill out a report for both fatal and non-fatal overdoses so they can identify trends and problem areas and identify individuals so they can be referred to behavioral health services.

“We are doing more aggressive investigations on the fatal overdoses to try and find the suppliers of these drugs,” he said. “We work on the county task force for this, and we have been on several prosecutions, and we have several more active prosecutions in the city.”

On July 13, Oxnard Police Detectives completed a six-month investigation, and the detectives seized 22 pounds of Fentanyl.

“That’s enough fentanyl to kill every single person in the county six times over,” Whitney said. “That fentanyl was coming into the City of Oxnard.”

the item one more time and include Blatell’s comments in the document.

“I glanced at it this morning, and there are some good ideas in here,” Nguyen said.

Fischer said he would add Blatell’s ideas, and he will bring it back to the committee for final review and then move it forward to the city council.

Fischer said he looked through the general plan of the document, and he said it needs to be brought into conformity with the general plan language.

“Also, we need to look at our general plan to make it consistent with what’s there, so I added the reference to the coastal plan Member Perello had raised at an earlier meeting,” Fischer said. “On page 10, there were some revisions made to address conformity with the new Sunshine Ordinance, new as of this revision to the procedures manual. I’ve revised that language to reflect the language in the Sunshine Ordinance. There was a discussion of emergency and non-agenized items on page 12.”

He said items for future agendas is a tricky issue, and he’s spoken to the assistant district attorney about that matter. “He’s pointed me to other cities methods, and we can make this n Policies, see page 3

Committee responds to public outcry over shortterm rentals

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The conversation about a proposed short-term rental ordinance (STR) in the City of Oxnard continues with public comments on the item, which brought lots of anger and some threats to the dais.

The committee advised staff to follow a 5 percent cap guideline for short-term rentals in the city during the July 9, Housing & Economic Development Committee meeting. Two of three members supported a 180-day limit for the units. The city staff had proposed removing those limits before the meeting. The committee also advocates removing the three-day limit for homestays.

The public comments led off with Walter Hagedohm, who told the committee that the 5 percent cap and 180day maximum for short-term rentals was something the community could support.

He pointed out that less than 24 hours after the agenda the city posted for the meeting, they changed the limits.

“The excuse was that it hadn’t been completely vetted, and I don’t think that completely corresponds with the facts,” he said. “On June 12, three weeks before the public release; the planning department submitted the ordinance containing the restrictions to the California Coastal Commission for review.

It’s inconceivable that such an important document had been submitted to the Coastal Commission without being fully vetted by the staff and the attorney. It defies logic that they are saying there were no best practices when they submitted it to the coastal commission.”

Neal Berger told the committee that of the 18 oceanfront homes on his street, eight are short term rentals or 44 n Committee, see page 3

Oxnard—The Union Jack flew proudly below the American Flag at Channel Islands Harbor’s Marine Emporium Landing, July 14, as the 29th Annual Central Coast British Car Club Show drew a large crowd of car lovers excited to see the classic and sporty designs that make British autos unique.

Club Treasurer Chris Vujea said this is the 29th year the club has held its show at Channel Islands Harbor and the group is British Sports Car aficionados.

“In order to join the Central Coast British Car Club, you have to have a British car, and a lot of these people in the club are the original owners of their cars,” she said. “They’ve had these MGs, Triumphs, and Healy’s since the 1960s and 1970s.

It was a wreck, and and sold it, and then he got his them are daily drivers, and some we had to rebuild it, and it won current car that he fixed up, and of them aren’t made anymore.” second place today.” he’s getting ready to sell it.

the club plans to start working on their 30th Anniversary show.

“We haven’t chosen the mark (feature car) yet, and we’ll do that in the next three or four months,” she said. “We have a working relationship with the harbor, so we don’t have to worry about the permits. They love us because we clean up with ourselves after we’re done.”

Marin said he and Chris downsized from their collection of cars.

“We’ve been collecting cars for 27 years,” Martin said. “The car I have here today, a Triumph GT6, I acquired it in Oct. 2013, and I rebuilt it. It’s basic to rebuild a car. If you know what a halfinch wrench and a screwdriver are, anybody can do this. It takes time and effort.”

He loves driving a British car.

There’s nothing like them,” he said. “You don’t feel the road in an American car like you do with a British car.”

He loves meeting all the people and seeing the cars at the show, which he called “rolling art.”

“The average age of these cars is about 40 years old,” he said.

Gary Cooper was a winner, and his car, a 1947 Triumph, took first place in the rarity’s division.

“There were other cars that were more elegant, but I love mine,” he said. “Somehow, I got first place in rarity’s division.”

Cooper lives in Ventura, and his friend had a car fender on his grand piano, and it piqued his interest. “My wife fell in love with the rumble seat, and I liked the fact that it was a convertible,” he said. “It took me 18 months to convince my friend to sell it to me.”

He loves the car and called it a smooth, comfortable drive.

“It’s a cruising car,” he said.

percent. “Most of the STRs are advertised to accommodate 10-12 people,” he said.

“There are no apparent correlations between the square footage of each STR and the number of guests that can be accommodated. There is no apparent enforcement of the maximum number of guests staying at each STR. Also, none of the advertisements of each of the STRs mention the maximum number of vehicles that can be parked on each property.”

He pointed out that some of the STRs on his street rent for over $1,000 a night.

“Considering the high rates charged for each of these STRs, the lack of enforcement of maximum occupancy and no mention of parking limitations; it’s common for multiple families to take advantage of these vacation homes,” he said.

Up to 20 transient occupants arrive in 4-6 vehicles and the additional cars on the east side of his street narrows the road to one lane, he said, which could potentially block emergency response vehicles.

“It has happened twice,” he said. “One neighbor had a heart attack, and another one; there was a drug overdose on the beach, and there was no way for the medical personnel to get to them.”: Additionally, he said trash cans at the short]-term rentals usually overflow because of the high number of occupants, and vacationers are not aware of the trash pickup schedule.

“They sit out there for weeks because no one enforces the trash cans sitting out

there,” he said. “People take their dog droppings and put them in there. They pile up, and homeless people forage for cans and recyclables and leave the lids open.”

Ted Cooper said Oxnard Shores is once again begging the city not to destroy their neighborhoods. He stands against encouraging out of town investors to buy single-family homes and turn them into mini-hotels.

“The original set of rules created by the planning department had a five percent maximum saturation cap and unlimited home-sharing, and that seemed like a good compromise to many of us,” he said. “I’m told the city manager’s office removed the cap to allow unrestricted numbers of rentals at Oxnard Shores, and that is the proposed rule.”

He pointed out that people are not against sharing the beach.

“We’ve had short-term rentals for decades with the 50 time-shares in Neptune Square and the many home-sharing houses already in our neighborhood, but investor funded mini-hotels is a different thing,” he said.

As an environmental engineer, he is currently helping a pump manufacturing company develop an innovative water pump. He also started the Channel Islands Harbor 5K, and 10K runs over 10 years ago to give back to the community.

“If your STR rules go through without a 5 percent cap limitation, perhaps I should move that pump manufacturer to Ventura or Bakersfield instead of Oxnard," he said. "Maybe I should

stop helping the harbor run every year.

Understand that your decision to support or hurt our neighborhood at Oxnard Shores is not only about making short-term money. There are hundreds of other folks living in Oxnard Shores contributing to the city. Maybe they’ll stop contributing the thousands of hours of volunteer work that helps make Oxnard the city that it is today.”

In committee comments, member Tim Flynn said the process about STRs has been going on for a couple of years, and they govern through their consent.

“Throughout that process, I’ve listened to both sides because that’s my job,” he said. “If you don’t listen to all sides, you’re not carrying out the rule of being a trustee.”

Flynn walked through the Oxnard Shores neighborhood door-to-door over the past year and asked everyone he encountered about the issue. One idea he had was short-term rental districts that did not get council support.

“The districts, themselves, would have set a limit,” he said. “I proposed three streets, Neptune Square, which already has the equivalent of short-term rentals, and the full council did not support that.”

Flynn pointed out that a ban on short-term rentals was not going to be an option.

“I support the five percent recommendation that came forth in the beginning, and I think The Colony should be excluded in that number,” he said. “If The Colony rules were to change by some court decision, then they can be included in that overall number.

I cannot imagine

living in any neighborhood where there is an unlimited number of properties converted into this thing.”

He is also open to the 180-day limit and asked why the city would advocate a policy that supports something and put a regulation in effect that gets rid of STRs. “Those who are against STRs would say that’s a great thing,” he said. “I don’t know about the 180-days because I have been told that if you rent out a property, and let’s say your mortgage payment is $2,500 a month and if you have a short-term rental you can probably double your income. If you limit that time, you’re back down to why are you involved in a short-term rental business?

I would entertain a six-month limit for six months, and if it starts driving shortterm rentals out of business, then we know it’s not working.”

He also supported the three-day limit for homestays and said he has never met anyone who has a problem with homestays.

Committee Member Vianey Lopez supports finding a balance that works for both sides.

“I support the five percent cap,” she said. “On the 180-day max; I am not sure I am convinced on that yet.

I would support looking at that for 12 months and looking at that. If it’s something that we need to make some adjustments to the ordinance.”

Chairman Oscar Madrigal said he supports the 180-day limit but feels they need to examine the issue again in the future.

“I am okay with the five percent cap,” he said. “To make it fair, because there are going to be issues in other neighborhoods, I think we do need to include The Colony.”

as complicated or as simple as the council wants,” he said.

“The overlying need is not to have a substantive discus­­sion on something that is not on the agenda.” Nguyen said future agenda items are important and there is a fine line and delicate balance when it comes to having a conversation about something that is not on the agenda.

“I don’t like the two-step process (for future agenda items) because it takes way too long to get here for discussion, so we are trying to find a compromise,” he said. “I also don’t like all the requests coming through me because I don’t think I should be the person deciding.

When somebody wants to discuss a new item, we want to make sure there is enough of the sense of the council, and there is enough interest that we invest staff resources into working up a report to bring to council.” Requiring a written request ahead of time is when you debate an issue during a council session, something may arise from that discussion.

“It’s perfectly fair and reasonable that you request a discussion about something that comes out of that debate,” Nguyen said. “You need to have a request from the floor during the council meeting.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2019

OPED And Then the Thunder Roared Dr. James L. Snyder In our house, thunder has a variety of meanings. Some not as good as others, but that is another story. Either way, I am not a fan of thunder.

Recently, some heavy thunder visited our area along with rain and lightning. I was beginning to understand how Noah felt during his first night in that Ark. Some of the thunder was so loud it seemed like it was inside our house.

Thankfully, I lost my heebiejeebies a long time ago.

All week long the rain came and with the rain was lightning and of course, thunder. What in the world would a rainstorm be without thunder?

One night the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I decided to stay inside and enjoy listening to the thunder on the outside. Nothing is more cozy than listening to it rain and thunder while drinking a nice hot cup of coffee. It is even better when an Apple fritter comes with that coffee, but that would create a different kind of thunder on the inside.

I must point out during this time, young people were breaking into cars, rummaging through them and stealing whatever they could find. Even locked cars were broken into and I wished I knew how they did that. I have locked myself out of my car several times. If only I had the skills of a car thief, I would not worry so much nor call AAA. I had my vehicle broken into once and they rummaged all through it. Unfortunately, for them, I had nothing of value to steal, except several Bibles and a dozen gospel tracts. Not one of my Bibles or one of my tracts was stolen. All that work and they found nothing to steal. I had considered putting an offering plate on my seat with a sign that said, “Your tithe goes here.”

When it comes to robbing vehicles, I have no experience. If I were going to rob a car the best time to do it is doing a heavy thunderstorm when nobody wants to come outside.

If I was going to invest time in stealing, which I am not, I would not focus on cars, especially in my

neighborhood. People keep the dumbest things in cars.

While listening to the storm, it suddenly got quiet. Both my wife and I took a deep breath and she said, “I think the storm’s over. I’m going to go out and check my car.”

I really never gave it much thought. I went back to the book I was reading and then I heard it.

The thunder roared again like I have never heard it roar before. I was waiting for the lightning to flash, but again the thunder roared.

Of course, I thought it was thunder, but it turned out to be my wife moaning in agony.

I was rattled, jumped out of my chair and ran to the door to see what was wrong.

It took me a while to figure out what in the world was going on but when I did, I broke out in uncontrollable laughter. I'm so

sorry. That’s the way my clock ticks.

Standing there, I heard my wife screaming, “They broke into my car and stole everything inside.

What kind of people does this?”

I rode in my wife’s car many times and I have yet to find something in her car worth the effort of stealing.

Of course, hidden in a little space on the dashboard are several gift cards for restaurants. She always keeps a collection of these so they are handy when we stop for lunch when traveling.

Everything in that car had been rummaged through and trash thrown all over the place. The only thing these “amateur thieves” did not find was the gift cards. There they were as neatly as my wife had put them. If you would look at that part in the car, you would not know they were there.

In anguish my wife said, “Look

at that mess in my car.”

It was a mess for sure. I had to calm her down and so I said, “Look here, my dear. All your gift cards are in place. They didn’t touch any of these. They didn’t get anything worthwhile.”

“That is,” she said rather mournfully, “something to be thankful for.”

She paused for a moment and then said, “Look at that mess in my car.”

The sad thing about the whole situation was her car had been locked. She is very obsessive about locking her car at night. She always asks me, “Did you lock your car?”

I wanted to say, but I know when to keep quiet, that her car had been locked and still the thieves broke into it. Some things are to be left unsaid which creates a platform of happiness

No matter what tragedy hits us, if you look for it, you can find something good. Sometimes it takes an awful lot of looking to find anything good in a situation. The effort, though, is certainly worth it.

I thought about what the apostle Paul once said. “Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

No matter what the situation, the great challenge of the Christian is to find something to give thanks for. A thief can’t steal anything of real value.

Realizing a Dream for Our Children

By Marian Wright Edelman

An outspoken defender of human rights and campaigner for justice for the oppressed, Bishop Tutu is a prophetic voice in our world today revered for his commitment to fighting poverty, racism and all forms of discrimination against any human beings and his dedication to reshaping our conversations about peace, equality and forgiveness. He shared this timeless exhortation for pursuing justice: “Justice needs champions. Good leaders with the ability to identify the challenges and the tenacity to address them.

Good leaders driven not by personal ambition, but by an innate desire to improve the circumstances of the human family and the human condition.”

He continued: “We inhabit a moral universe. Goodness, righteousness, and fairness matter. We are born to love—all of us, including Black, Latino, and white [children] and everyone else. As members of the human family—God’s family—we were created with equal, infinite worth for interdependence. In conditions of harmony, equity and common purpose, the whole family thrives. God does not use strong-

This week, clergy, seminarians, religious educators, community organizers, young adult leaders and other faith-based advocates in the intergenerational, interracial, multiethnic, ecumenical community pursuing justice for our nation’s children will come together at the Children’s Defense Fund’s Haley Farm in Tennessee for the 25th Annual CDF Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry. The theme for this year’s gathering is “Guide Our Feet: Pursuing Justice for All God’s Children.” As we focus on the many urgent challenges facing children and families right now, especially poor children, those caught up in the mass criminalization of children of color, and children at our borders, in the words of the beloved spiritual we will ask God to guide our feet as we seek to make our nation fit, safe and just for all children because we don’t want to run this race in vain.

Several years ago South African Archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu sent Proctor attendees a video message.

armed tactics to ensure justice is done. God empowers us to do the right thing. It is up to us—you, and you, and you, and me.”

Bishop Tutu then shared what he believes is God’s dream for all human children: “And God says, I have a

We inhabit a moral universe. Goodness, righteousness, and fairness matter. … God empowers us to do the right thing. It is up to us—you, and you, and you, and me.

Archbishop Desmond TuTu dream. I have a dream that all of my children will discover that they belong in one family—my family, the human family—a family in which there are no outsiders; all are held in the embrace of the one whose love

will never let us go; the one who says that each one of us is of incredible worth, that each one of us is precious to God because each of us has their name written on the palms of God’s hands. And God says, there are no outsiders—Black, white, red, yellow, short, tall, young, old, rich, poor, gay, lesbian, straight—everyone. All belong. And God says, I have only you to help me realize my dream.

Help me.”

I hope America can realize God’s dream for all humankind. I believe we can realize God’s and Bishop Tutu’s dream if each of us holds ourselves accountable and realizes that it is up to us to do whatever is necessary to pass on to our children and grandchildren a better and more just country and world than we inherited. We can move America closer to being that family and nation where everyone belongs and everyone has worth. But to do so, we must wake up, open our eyes and ears, avoid convenient ignorance, seek the truth, speak up, stand up and never give up fighting for justice for all.

How long will it take? America’s own great 20th century prophet, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., addressed that question: “We must come to see

that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience. And that will be a day not of the white man, not of the Black man. That will be the day of man as man. I know you are asking today, ‘How long will it take?’

Somebody’s asking, ‘How long will prejudice blind the visions of men?’ . . . I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because ‘truth crushed to earth will rise again.’ How long? Not long, because ‘no lie can live forever.’

How long? Not long, because ‘you shall reap what you sow’ . . . How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

How long? Not long, even in this difficult moment in 21st century America, if a critical remnant among us is determined to commit ourselves to being the good leaders and champions for justice that immigrant children, poor children, children of color and all children need right now.

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

The United States of Overreaction

By Matthew Johnson On July 4, at a Starbucks in Tempe, Arizona, six police officers were asked to either move out of a customer’s line of sight or leave the establishment because they were making a patron uncomfortable— for being police.

Twitter is akin to a lightning strike in an otherwise quiet, flamefree forest. It doesn’t seem to matter what the issue is anymore or whether it stirs up the Right or the Left.

As a progressive-minded American who believes certain (unjust) laws are meant to be broken and who strongly opposes any manner of police abuse or overreach, I am not particularly comfortable around police myself (although, admittedly, I am white and tend to get the benefit of the doubt during confrontations).

However, I am equally uncomfortable with an uncanny

overreaction to what amounted to uniformed police officers having a cup of coffee, which they paid for, at a public location.

I also scoff at the idea of a #boycottstarbucks (hashtag) for what amounted to the actions of one misguided barista. Twitter is akin to a lightning strike in an otherwise quiet, flame-free forest.

It doesn’t seem to matter what the issue is anymore or whether it stirs up the Right or the Left.

There should be a rule that states: No one, in the name of support or solidarity, should be allowed to be more outraged than the victim of the mistreatment/offense/injustice.

At no point did the Tempe Police Department or the officers who were asked to move-it-or-leave-it call for a boycott, so their so-called supporters are nothing more than digital grandstanders.

It’s to the credit of the involved parties that they did not join in

the overreaction. Apologies were made and accepted. Increased understanding should always be the first objective in situations of lowlevel conflict. After all, mistakes will inevitably be made in a pluralistic society that suffers from a strong case of oversensitivity.

We’re afraid of everything except our own shadows, which we seem to worship. We should instead be happy that our many cleavages exist in a relative state of equilibrium. It’s

a minor miracle that we haven’t descended into civil war postNovember 8, 2016. Yet. I’m not sure why we can’t continue to build a nation that includes lingering lawmen, craven customers, crafty corporate owners, and even tumultuous tweeters.

There’s room for all of us—along with the scores of ill-treated immigrants about whom we should be far more concerned than those who can easily defend themselves.

NEWS Rehab Point continued from page 1

At my last meeting, 15 people showed up. When they signed the paper, I said you are now on the committee. You're going to help me get donations and make this go." Her goal is to get more people attending the event.

"It began with 700 people, and it fluctuates," she said. "The hardest for us is trying to get wheelchair-bound people to get here because the busses don't run on Sunday."

Harriet Weigel lives in Port Hueneme and has been part of the Rehab Point Project since 1993 and said it's an awesome event.

"It's wonderful having people of all faiths, cultures, and abilities meeting here at the same time

and place, and knowing that everyone is welcome and cared for," she said. "When I walk down the path; it makes me feel like Ed Hunt is still with me.

We were good friends when he was still alive, and I remember walking the path with him, and how much it meant to him. It makes me feel like I am part of a miracle."

Mayor Tim Flynn led the ceremony and told the crowd that he and his wife would visit Rehab Point before she passed away from cancer.

"I never knew that someday I would have to wheel her out on that ramp there, and she was able to enjoy the beach," he said. "I was able to provide my

wife with some joy in the final months of her life, taking her to Ed Hunt Rehab Point. It's something personal to me, and it's important."

Ron Fitzgerald from the Vietnam Veterans of Ventura County spoke on behalf of the honor guard that opened the ceremony and said it's been a busy three days in Oxnard.

"We did funerals on Friday and Saturday, and now we're all here," he said. "Without them, we can't do it. My hat is off to them, my fellow brothers and sisters in arms. We enjoy doing this, and we'll be back for many more years to come."

He enjoys serving the community.

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: FIGURE OF SPEECH

"We're here to serve and give back," he said. "I live by John Kennedy's quote, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your county."

Marly Guzman, along with Alfredo, Kimberly and Elizabeth Solis attended the event, and Guzman appreciates the information that is available for families that have children with special needs.

"Sometimes, I am not aware of it, and when I come here, I obtain all that information from them," Guzman said. "I like to connect with other parents who have children that are part of the special populations and the problems they have. We are networking and sharing."

She advises parents that are not part of the Oxnard Special Populations to come out and try something different.

"Sometimes you get tired of being in the same routine, and it's good to connect with other people and share resources," she said. "They can guide you to the right resources."

Estaban Melchor is a recreation coordinator for the City of Oxnard and is also the secretary for the Rehab Point Picnic.

"Today is a day to celebrate and come together," he said.

"We have a lot of agencies here that cater to those populations and spread the message. We also have rubber mats, so it easier for people with wheelchairs to have

access." He ran the raffle booth and sold tickets.

"All the proceeds from the raffle go to next year's picnic," he said. "All the items in the raffle are donated by the different agencies."

Frances Berumen led her team at the American Foundation for Suicide Awareness and said she got involved when she lost her son to suicide five years ago.

"When I lost my son, it changed everything," she said.

"I've become involved to raise awareness and take the shame and the stigma out of suicide.

It's a mental illness, and it leaves us with a lot of unanswered questions."

She is calling attention to the walk the group will hold on Sept. 14 at Constitution Park in Camarillo.

"A bunch of us are getting together and support each other and encourage one another to be there and hug one another," she said.

Tana Seufert was part of the group at the Nathaniel's Hope Buddy Break tent, which is a free respite program for parents of children with special needs.

The group meets on the second Saturday of each month for kids ages 4-14.

"The parents get a free respite for three hours," she said. "They drop the kids off, and they have all kinds of activities like a bounce house, there is an inflatable pool with balls in it they can bury themselves in.

They also have sensory items, and when it's warm outside, they have outdoor activities."

The group also gives the special needs children a respite from their therapies, she said, and any siblings also get a reprieve.

Lorena Hernandez from the Rainbow Connection provides parents and families support for people with special needs.

"I have a son with autism, he is 21," she said. "A lot of the parents who come feel like they are lost and alone. That's where we come in. Come into Rainbow, have a cup of coffee, have a bottle of water. We'll listen to your story, and we'll share with you our story. We'll get you everything you need to get you on your journey."

Most people hear about Rainbow Connection from other parents, she said, and that experience is amazing.

"It doesn't matter how you hear about us, come in and let us talk to you," she said.

When someone approaches her who is lost, Hernandez said she first asks to hug them.

"I tell them everything is going to be okay," she said. "It makes your life easier if you have a support system."

Joining the cause is as simple as calling Portillo at 805-8905152.

Give me a call and volunteer, or give me ideas and suggestions," she said. "I am ready willing and able."

admitted that being a potter is a hobby.

“Now I get to try and afford my hobby,” he said. “I am studying geology at Southern Utah University.”

Steven has a website for people who want to order something but missed the show, SBCeramics.com.

Barbara Welsh ran Tommy Lane Jewelry and got started after she received a bead looming kit on her 12th birthday.

“I had a regular job for 25 years, and then I started doing this because my son had a carnival, and he needed a little boutique with donations,” she said. “I got my old bead boxes and got started making earrings and jewelry again.”

When making earrings, she buys pieces that she likes and then gets inspired by the world around her.

“I like making something out of nothing,” she said. “I like art deco and art nouveau and making it beautiful.”

Paul Nestroyl and his wife Cathy were selling creations based on the art of Zentangle that Cathy creates.

“We’ve been doing this for about four years with some success,” Paul said. “We are based in Simi Valley, and we sell originals and prints that she paints on. We also have children’s books available.”

Cathy’s designs depend on her inspiration. The couple does have cats; that was evident in many of the creations.

“That’s one of her major themes”, Paul said. “She does like animals, so we have animal scenes. We also do scenes specific to where we are going, so she does a lot of ocean scenes.”

Cathy also has a whimsical side, so she does plenty of butterflies and fairies.

“We do have one cat that inspires some of the drawings,” Paul said. “A lot of people tell us her art is similar to Tim Burton’s style and is thought-provoking.

In one piece, a cat is staring at a fishbowl, and there is a mermaid in the fishbowl talking to a goldfish.

“If you think about that, you can conjure up a lot of things in your mind,” he said. “There is some inspirational thought involved.”

Cathy has a few pieces of art hanging in her home, but not too many.

“We have a little bedroom at home, and that is what I call my studio,” she said. “I have some honorable mentions on the wall.”

Paul does not offer any feedback on the art.

“He knows better,” she laughed.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

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

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

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

IF YOU 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.

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.

Scientists close in on blood test for Alzheimer's

By Marilynn Marchione LOS ANGELES (AP)— Scientists are closing in on a long-sought goal—a blood test to screen people for possible signs of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

O

N Monday at the Alzheimer's As s o c i at i on International Conference, half a dozen research groups gave new results on various experimental tests, including one that seems 88% accurate at indicating Alzheimer's risk.

Doctors are hoping for something to use during routine exams, where most dementia symptoms are evaluated, to gauge who needs more extensive testing. Current tools such as brain scans and spinal fluid tests are too expensive or impractical for regular check-ups.

“We need something quicker and dirtier. It doesn't have to be perfect” to be useful for screening, said Maria Carrillo, the Alzheimer's Association's chief science officer.

Dr. Richard Hodes, director of the National Institute on Aging, called the new results “very promising” and said blood tests soon will be used to choose and monitor people for federally

funded studies, though it will take a little longer to establish their value in routine medical care.

“In the past year we've seen a dramatic acceleration in progress” on these tests, he said. “This has happened at a pace that is far faster than any of us would have expected.”

It can't come too soon for patients like Tom Doyle, a 66-year-old former university professor from Chicago who has had two spinal fluid tests since developing memory problems four years ago. First he was told he didn't have Alzheimer's, then that he did. He ultimately was diagnosed with different problems—Lewy body dementia with Parkinson's.

“They probably could have diagnosed me years ago accurately if they had had a blood test,” said Doyle, who represents patients on the Alzheimer's Association's board.

About 50 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimer's is the most common form. There is no cure; current medicines just temporarily ease symptoms. Dozens of hoped-for treatments have failed. Doctors think studies may have enrolled people after too much brain damage had occurred and included too many people with problems other than Alzheimer's.

A blood test—rather than subjective estimates of thinking skills—could get the right people into studies sooner.

One of the experimental blood tests measures abnormal versions of the protein that forms the plaques in the brain that are the hallmark of Alzheimer's. Last year, Japanese researchers published a study of it and on Monday they gave results from validation testing on 201 people with Alzheimer's, other types of dementia, mild impairment or no symptoms.

The blood test results closely matched those from the top tests used

The test correctly identified 92% of people who had Alzheimer's and correctly ruled out 85% who did not have it. now—three types of brain scans and a mental assessment exam, said Dr. Akinori Nakamura of the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology in Obu, Japan. The test correctly identified 92% of people who had Alzheimer's and correctly ruled out 85% who did not have it, for an overall accuracy of 88%.

Shimadzu Corp. has rights to the test and is working to commercialize it, Nakamura said.

Another experimental test looks at neurofilament light, a protein that's a marker of nerve damage. Abdul Hye of King's College London gave results of a study comparing blood levels of it in 2,300 people with various neurological conditions—Alzheimer's, other dementias, Parkinson's, depression, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease—plus healthy folks for comparison.

Levels were significantly higher in eight conditions, and only 2% of healthy folks were above a threshold they set for raising concern. The test doesn't reveal which disorder someone has, but it may help rule one out when symptoms may be psychological or due to other problems.

Later at the conference, Dr. Randall Bateman of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will give new results on a blood test he helped develop that the university has patented and licensed to C2N Diagnostics, a company he co-founded. Like the Japanese test, it measures the abnormal Alzheimer protein, and the new results will show how well the test reflects what brain scans show on nearly 500 people.

“Everyone's finding the same thing ... the results are remarkably similar across countries, across techniques,” said Bateman, whose work is supported by the U.S. government

California’s effort to stop surprise hospital bills stalls SACRAMENTO (AP)—A California proposal aimed at limiting high medical bills from emergency room visits stalled Wednesday, with the author saying opposition from hospitals was insurmountable this year.

Democratic Assemblyman David Chiu said he'll continue working on the bill and try to bring it back next year. It's the latest attempt by a state Legislature or Congress to rein in exorbitant hospitals bills when patients need emergency care but have little say about what hospitals they are taken to.

Chiu's bill would have capped what emergency patients pay at their copays and deductibles, even if they got treatment at a hospital outside of their insurance network. It would also have capped how much hospitals could then seek from insurance companies.

That turned the bill into a battle between hospitals and insurance companies.

[The] bill would have capped what emergency patients pay at their copays and deductibles, even if they got treatment at a hospital outside of their insurance network.

“This bill curtails a practice that generates billions of dollars of profits for hospitals, and lobbyists and CEOs for the most profitable hospitals in California have made it abundantly clear that they will protect

those profits over patients,” Chiu said in a statement. “Unfortunately, that level of moneyed opposition proved insurmountable at this time.”

Jan Emerson-Shea of the California Hospitals Association did not

immediately comment on Chiu's withdrawal of the bill or his comments about hospital opposition.

Carmela Coyle, the group's chief executive, previously said insurance companies, not hospitals, are the true monopoly. She said the proposal “puts money into the pockets of insurance companies and does not make care more affordable for consumers.”

and the Alzheimer's Association. He estimates a screening test could be as close as three years away.

What good will that do without a cure?

An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll last year found that most Americans would want to know if they carried a gene tied to a disease even if it was incurable.

“What people want most of all is a diagnosis” if they're having symptoms, said Jonathan Schott of University College London. “What we don't like is not knowing what's going on.”

New measles case confirmed in Los Angeles County LOS ANGELES (AP)—Health authorities have confirmed a new case of measles that may have exposed others this month at a food court on the University of California, Los Angeles, campus.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health says the exposure could have occurred July 2 and 3 at the Court of Sciences Student Center at UCLA. The food court is also nicknamed The Bomb Shelter.

Anyone who was at the location on those dates may be at risk of developing measles for up to 21 days.

Health authorities say it's the 12th case of measles among Los Angeles County residents this year, and it's not related to the previous measles exposure at UCLA in April.

Jarred Alterman/4th Row Films via AP This undated photo provided by 4th Row Films shows a meeting of striking miners and union organizers in "Bisbee '17," a story of how some 1,200 miners, most of them immigrants, were pulled violently from their homes in Bisbee, Ariz., by a private police force and put on cattle cars for deportation to a desolate area of New Mexico in 1917.

Film airing on PBS recalls city's dark deportation history

By Anita Snow

Victorian-style houses built on hilly terrain, along with other architectural gems. The gaping hole at Bisbee's edge that was once the Lavender Pit copper mine is a constant reminder the area's mining history.

Greene said he started thinking of ways to make a film about the Bisbee deportation shortly after learning about it. As the 100th anniversary approached two years ago, he said, “we knew it was time.”

The documentary tells how the bosses at the Phelps Dodge copper mining operation feared a strike by miners who sympathized with the “Wobblies,” members of the radical Industrial Workers of the World.

The U.S. had just entered World War I, and company executives worried that foreign-born miners would try to hamper the war effort.

Working with mining bosses, the local sheriff hastily deputized about 2,000 strikebreakers to round up about 1,200 miners, mostly immigrants from Mexico and eastern Europe. They were led by gunpoint to the baseball field in the nearby community of Warren, locked inside train cars and shipped off to Hermanas,

New Mexico.

The narrative emerges through the residents' personal stories: a woman whose grandfather deported his brother; a former mining company boss who remains convinced the deportation was justified; and Fernando Serrano, 23, whose mother had been deported back to her native Mexico and jailed on drug charges.

Viewers watch Serrano undergo a political awakening as he plays the role of a Mexican miner, singing the Spanish-language version of the union anthem “Solidarity Forever” to the tune of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

While exorcising the demons of Bisbee's past, the townspeople make a statement about today's treatment of marginalized people, the filmmaker said.

“You cannot keep from what is happening at the border when you watch the film,” said Greene, referring to the chaos that has erupted along the U.S.-Mexico border as the Trump administration seeks to keep out a wave of asylum-seekers, mostly from Central America.

“It echoes other moments in our nation's history when fear was used to motivate opposition,” he said.

By Jake Coyle NEW YORK (AP)— In 1964, Stanley Kubrick, on the recommendation of the science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, bought a telescope.

“He got this Questar and he attached one of his cameras to it,” remembers Katharina Kubrick, the filmmaker's stepdaughter. “On a night where there was a lunar eclipse, he dragged Courtesy NASA us all out onto the balcony and we were able to see the moon like a big rubber ball.

I don't think I've seen it as clearly since. He loved that thing. He looked at it all the time.”

Space exploration was then an exciting possibility, but one far from realization. That July, the NASA's Ranger 7 sent back highresolution photographs from the moon's surface. Kubrick and Clarke, convinced the moon was only the start, began to toil on a script together. It would be five years before astronauts landed on the moon, on July 20, 1969. Kubrick took flight sooner. “2001: A Space Odyssey” opened in theaters April 3, 1968.

The space race was always going to be won by filmmakers and science-fiction writers. Jules Verne penned “From the Earth to the Moon” in 1865, prophesying three U.S. astronauts rocketing from Florida to the moon. George Melies' 1902 silent classic “A Trip to the Moon” had a rocket ship landing in the eye of the man in the moon.

“Destination Moon,” based on Robert Heinlein's tale, got there in 1950, and won an Oscar for special effects. Three years before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface, “Star Trek” began airing. It's no wonder that the moon landing seemed like the stuff of movies. Some conspiracy theorists claimed it was one: another Kubrick production. But the truth of the landing was intertwined with cinema. Audio recordings from Mission Control during Apollo 11 capture flight controllers talking about “2001.”

The day of the landing, Heinlein and Clarke were on air with Walter Cronkite . Heinlein called it “New Year's Day of the Year One.” The landing was a giant leap not just for mankind but for filmmaking. The astronauts on board Apollo 11 carried multiple film cameras with them , including two 16mm cameras and several 70mm Hasselblad 500s. Some cameras were affixed to the lunar module and the astronauts' suits, others they carried on the journey. Their training was rudimentary, but they were filmmakers.

Armstrong, Aldrin and Michael Collins were all later made honorary members of the American Society of Cinematographers.

Those images, broadcast live on television, were crucial proof for the mission. Filmmaker Todd Michael Douglas, whose archivalbased "Apollo 11" has been one of the year's most acclaimed and popular documentaries, believes they constitute some of the most important images in cinema history.

“How could you argue with Buzz Aldrin's landing shot with a 16mm camera using variable frame rate and shutter exposures out the lunar module window?” marvels Douglas. “I mean, come up with a better shot in cinema history than the landing on the moon.

And likewise, Michael Collins in the command module seeing the lunar module come off the surface of the moon. They're incredible shots on their own and they're also technically astute.”

BISBEE, Ariz. (AP)—The darkest, most violent chapter in the history of Bisbee was an open secret for decades in the funky old Arizona copper town 7 miles (11 kilometers) north of the U.S.-Mexico border.

But few residents knew the details of how about 1,200 miners, most of them immigrants, were pulled violently from their homes a century ago by a private police force and put on cattle cars for their deportation to a desolate area of New Mexico.

The filming of “Bisbee '17,” a documentary about what happened July 12, 1917, was a history lesson for residents recruited to play historical figures in the production filmed exactly 100 years later that weds documentary and collective performance. It is, at turns, a Western, a musical and a ghost story.

The film mixes the town's past and present, the residents dressed in period clothing but moving through presentday Bisbee. Newly deputized strikebreakers with ancient guns stand in a classroom complete with an overhead projector and modern light figures. “Enjoy the AC while you've got it!” a man standing at the front of a modern bus

tells residents dressed as miners as they travel to the rail cars for their deportation.

After premiering last year at the Sundance Film Festival, “Bisbee ‘17” will be nationally broadcast for the first time Monday night on the PBS documentary series POV. In Arizona, it will be shown at 9 p.m.

It's the sixth film for director Robert Greene, filmmaker-in-chief for the Murray Center for Documentary Journalism at the University of Missouri.
