COUNCIL APPROVES SAFE HOMES SAFE FAMILIES ORDINANCE SUBSTANDARD HOUSING IS UNDER ATTACK IN OXNARD

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry OXNARD—The Oxnard City Council overwhelmingly approved the first reading by title only and waived further reading of an ordinance adding Article 27 to Chapter 14 of the Oxnard City Code to establish a Safe Homes Safe Families, Repeat Offender Program during its July 17 meeting.

Assistance; and approve the first reading by title only and waive further reading of an ordinance adding Article 28 to Chapter 14 of the Oxnard City Code related to substandard and improper occupancies.

That included adopting a resolution amending the fee

schedule for civil fines to cover properties registered in the Safe Homes Safe Families Program, substandard conditions, and improper occupancy fines.

Development Services Director Ashley Golden said her department is presenting a two-year Safe Home Safe Family program.

She said the Oxnard City Council adopted its two-year business strategic plan in May 2016, and within that plan, there was a quality of life strategy that included a rental inspection program.

On May 2, 2017, she said they hosted a workshop about a rental inspection program, then pursued outreach efforts to the Chamber of Commerce, INCO

(Inter-Neighborhood Council Organization), the affordable housing advocates and the real estate board.

The takeaway from the outreach is they needed to revamp the program, she said, and that’s what they did.

“After we revamped the program, we went and sought a recommendation from the Measure O Committee for funding that was approved during the mid-year budget for this effort,” she said. “That includes a code compliance inspector, an admin technician, a deputy city attorney, a paralegal and a vehicle.”

To date, she said the vehicle is in progress. n Safe Families Ordinance, see page 3

Council Seeks More Input About Gang Injunctions LIVELY DEBATE UPSETS SOME RESIDENTS

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry OXNARD—The Oxnard City Council postponed taking action and changing its gang injunction ordinance July 17, as the group decided to take more time to engage the community with the help of the Oxnard Police Department.

In response to an increasing

gang presence throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s, the City of Oxnard obtained its first civil gang injunction against the Colonia Chiques gang in June of 2005. The city got a second gang injunction against the Southside Chiques gang in October of 2006.

A gang injunction

declares them a public nuisance and can address the problem before it reaches a felony level.

The revised ordinance provides the framework for gang membership and determines the process, and the city will have a hearing officer for graffiti and miscellaneous issues.

Council Amends Alcohol Consumption in Public Places CONCERN RAISED ABOUT OXNARD COLLEGE PARK

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry OXNARD—During its July 17, meeting, the Oxnard City Council approved the first reading by title only and waive further reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 7, Article VIII, Section 7-125 of the Oxnard City Code regulating alcohol possession and consumption in public places.

of Oxnard provide political candidates for sign placement within the city limits, and it also gives the county policies in the candidate manual.

The grand jury concluded the city’s sign-placement policy provides insufficient direction about campaign sign placement on private property, and the city needs to rewrite their regulations and give more definitive guidance to the candidates.

The proposed action does not provide a permit for the sign, but freestanding signs must be no more than six square feet in size and shall not locate signs within 10 feet of any property line.

City Attorney Stephen Fischer said the city is required to respond to the report from approximately 90 days ago.

He said the report revealed that Simi Valley has a clear and concise statement of rules regarding campaign signs.

“I have put an agreement together for the council’s approval and signing and filing by the mayor, the city clerk and myself that the city is in agreement with the finding and conclusion relating to Oxnard, and the recommendation has been implemented through the draft statement,” he said.

The report follows the same format as the Simi Valley model, he said, and plugs in the city’s existing zoning code provisions related to election sign placement and temporary signs.

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said his grandfather lived in Simi Valley.

“I know they put campaign signs all over the businesses, so I think Oxnard does a better job than Simi does,” he said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez asked how they will enforce the rules and can it be

abused.

“I see Mr. Brooks there, you would be in charge of going out and knocking on doors and do we have the time to get after people for misplacement of signs,” she said.

Code Compliance Manager Roger Brooks said there isn’t much time spent on campaign signs.

“There are very few complaints when we do get them,” he said.

“They’re mainly on public property, so our public works department is very generous and helps us out with removing those signs.”

Ramirez said it was much ado about nothing.

“I have a friend who is running for office in the City of Ventura and never uses signs and always wins,” she said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said Ventura is a “free-for-all” with campaign signs.

“I think we do a little better job of regulating them,” he said.

Councilman Bert Perello points out Oxnard; even if it’s one of many cities, they must act responsibly and answer.

“The comment that hit home was not about a campaign sign, it was about a resident that had a business, and he got nailed for having a ribbon sign,” he said.

“He wanted to know if we are going to have consistent rules concerning ribbon signs, or people that are dressing up figurines and advertising on the side of the street usually after hours of code enforcement when they are off duty.”

Mayor Tim Flynn said he supports the item and Fischer should respond to the grand jury.

“What I hear from Mr. Brooks is if we get complaints in the city, a candidate or a volunteer for a candidate has placed a sign in a public right-of-way,” he said. “We don’t allow that in the City of Oxnard.”

parkways,” he said. “What we attempting to do here is prohibit open containers in places other than parks as well.”

During public comments, Danna Aten said she sees people with open containers when she plays soccer in the park.

“They’re not causing a ruckus, and it’s just before the park closes,

so it’s like 9:30 p.m.,” she said.

Her big question is who will take care of the people at Oxnard College Park if something happens.

“Are the firemen over there at Station Eight going to respond when somebody hits somebody speeding in that park,” she asked.

Mayor Tim Flynn said the council would address all her

concerns.

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said he has an issue with enforcement.

“I know it’s tough, and I know it’s hard to go all over the place, all over town for an open container,” he said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez and Councilman Bryan MacDonald both supported the item and had no questions or comments.

Councilman Bert Perello said he told Police Chief Scott Whitney that he was having a problem with a neighborhood chairman because he has issues with the park adjacent to the Performing Arts Center with small hard liquor bottles in the park.

“How are we restricting access to that,” he asked. “Are they available in every store?”

He said people break into the skate park because of the weak fence which will cost more money.

“They do not skate with a helmet on, and when somebody gets hurt the city will more than likely get sued.” He said. “That’s something we need to address in the future.”

Assistant Police Chief Eric Sonstegard said small airplane style bottles are managed during the permitting and licensing process when they do an alcohol compliance review.

“We get down to the nitty-gritty as to what can be sold,” he said.

Flynn said he supports the ordinance.

“For the police department, in particular, it is a real challenge in trying to minimize incidents, and by further restricting where consumption can take place,” he said. “I have the same concerns expressed about the parks.”

Council Approves DiojiDog Daycare Special Use Permit

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry OXNARD—A new business is coming to the City of Oxnard as the city council approved a special use permit for Dioji Dog Daycare at 633 Ventura Boulevard.

The daycare facility is in the El Rio area on the northern portion of Highway 10. There is an existing 2814 square foot single-story structure on the property that will be demolished.

Planning and Environmental Services Manager Kathleen Mallory made the presentation and said the business will be a canine resort approximately 7,599 square feet and will be cage-free, plus an 870 square feet retail and grooming area.

“The request for dog daycare, it’s not an identified use as allowed in the commercial planned development zoning district,” she said. “That requires planning commission

recommendation for this special use permit.

The planning commission unanimously recommended its approval on June 7, with no public comments or concerns.

“The project went to a community workshop in Feb., and at that time there were no concerns,” she said.

Residential homes surround the property to the north in Ventura County, she said, and commercial structures in the city limits.

The area will be zoned commercial general zoned development, she said, which is allowed with approval.

“Access to the property will come from Ventura Road,” she said. “There will be three parking spaces up front, they’ll be a retail portion up front, and then you’ll head over through the dog facility and dog boarding area.”

Mallory said the property is linear in nature and the parking is specially designed in the rear of the building

to serve as a buffer between the business and residential use to the north.

“They’ll be a six-foot-tall masonry wall that will buffer sound, and we’ll have a 10-foot landscaped infiltration area to provide further buffering.

There are over 80 feet of separation.”

She said the business would operate from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday.

“This is not a drop-off facility,” Mallory said, “You have to register your dog, and you have to vet your dog with the other dogs. The intent is that it’s more open and cage-free, so the dogs have to get along.”

She said the maximum dog capacity is 100 for small breeds and 75 for large breeds.

“The project will be required to provide curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the frontage,” she said. “There will also be a requirement for a new fire hydrant.”

Nomination Period for November 2018 Oxnard City Council, Mayor Candidates Begins July 16 OXNARD—The Oxnard City Clerk’s office announces the upcoming nomination period—July 16 through Aug. 9—for Oxnard residents seeking candidacy for city offices this year.

The Mayor’s seat and the newly-formed City Council Districts 1, 2, 5 and 6 are up for election on Nov. 6, 2018.

T

O run for office, candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a citizen of the United States and registered to vote, and reside within a District that’s up for election (candidates for Mayor can live anywhere in the city of Oxnard).

Incumbents currently occupying the seats up for election are Bert Perello (Council District 1), Carmen

Ramirez (Council District 2) and Tim Flynn (Mayor). Council Districts 5 and 6 are currently unfilled.

To pull papers as a candidate, you must make an appointment with the City Clerk’s office by calling (805) 385-7803. The City Clerk’s office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and alternate Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed July 27). The deadline to submit

completed nomination documents is 6 p.m. on Aug. 9.

This election will be an historic one for the city of Oxnard, in that it will be the first time the City Council will be elected by districts, and it will add two new seats, making the City Council a seven-member body for the first time in the City’s 115-year history.

In February 2018, the Oxnard City Council adopted a district election system, enabling city voters to elect a council member who lives in their district, starting with the November 2018 General Election. The city has historically used an at-large voting system, in which four council

“We don’t have it in-hand, but we’ve started that process,” she said.

“With your budget that was adopted June 26, the funding was continued forward to the fiscal year 2018-2019.”

She said her department wasn’t looking at the holistic quality of life issues.

“We were looking at the symptoms, the parking, the overcrowding, but not the quality of life and how to address the quality of life,” she said.

“We were looking for new problems and not the existing problems we already have in the city.”

One concern was the cost to start the program, she said, plus the cost to property owners.

“What I presented back in 2017 had registration fees, annual inspection fees, and there was a lot of money going to the property owners,” she said. “There was a concern was what about the good people who had a rental property and are not a problem property.”

Golden said there was a concern about the displacement of residents from the affordable housing people.

It wasn’t taking a step backward, she said, but it took a look at the actual quality of life strategy the council set forward.

“We’ve come up with a program, and we presented it back to all those same groups, and we’ve received more positive feedback about the program,” she said.

The program now deals with all dwelling units in the City of Oxnard.

“We focused on the existing violations we have in the city, and we’re not going out and looking for new problems,” she said. “We’re dealing with those who already have code compliance cases in the city and what we call repeat offenders.”

She said they reduced the cost to the property owner by eliminating registration fees and the inspections will only occur after you are in the program.

“We also sought funding for tenant relocation ordinance, and we are also bringing a new tool forward; a substandard and improper occupancy ordinance,” she said.

“That will deal with the egregious quality of life issues in a residential neighborhood.”

Golden said the criteria applies to people who have three or more violations that impair the habitability of a property during a consecutive three-year period.

“We didn’t want to have a program with somebody that only had a mistake one day and didn’t do property maintenance,” she said.

“This is somebody that three or more separate violations at the same property. The program will also apply to three or more separate violations controlled by a same responsible property that might be different. It will also apply to unresolved code enforcement violations for at least three years.”

She said as of June 2018, 325 owners and 550 locations are eligible

for the Safe Homes and Safe Families Program and 115 of the places have open cases.

She said the homeowners get notified about being placed in the program, and they have the right to appeal.

“After we determine they meet one of the three criteria standards, we’ll have a mandatory meeting with code compliance staff as well as by written information to the tenants,” she said. “We’re very sensitive to the needs of the tenants and making sure we are not pitting the tenants against the property owner.”

The intent is to educate through training.

“We’ll walk through and give them a roadmap of how they get to compliance and how they remove violations from the property,” she said. “We will inspect the property and do a mandatory yearly inspection.”

Once they pass two consecutive inspections and the property is in the proper working order they remove it from the program.

The Safe Homes Safe Families Program also has inspection fees, double the civil fine amounts, and receiverships. If a tenant moves out of a garage, they go back because the owner makes more money. The owner thinks the city can keep citing the property.

“The intent behind the fine amount is to give them the incentive to make it a place they can live, make it safe, then you can move back in and do it right,” she said. “You don’t get to collect rent on a place that is not safe for people to live.”

She said the final tool is the tenant relocation ordinance.

“We’re going to repeal the uncodified ordinance, but then codify the health and safety code so it’s a tool we can find easily,” she said.

That will require the homeowner to pay relocation costs for the tenant.

“We want it in our code here for our boot-and-suspender approach,” she said. “The tenant relocation program allows the city to advance money to the tenant if they run into any problems with the property owner. It doesn’t put us on the hook to do that, but it allows the city to determine that owner is not compliant with the health and safety code and the city can advance that and recover those costs and a penalty up to $10,000.”

During public comments, Pat Brown said there are 20 mobile home parks in the city, and some are substandard.

“They are allowed to continue because people have no other means of getting any other place to live,” she said. “We also have the problem of seniors who are getting so old they have to have family members living with them. The family members decide to bring their whole family in because they can’t afford to live.”

Woodrow Thomas Senior said the discussion should focus on health and safety for all houses and not just trailer homes.

“All these laws rules and regulations the city ordinance is introducing, we know the City of Oxnard has substandard standards when you talk about the streets,” he said. “The code enforcement is a joke because they don’t enforce the laws as they should.”

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said the program had come a long way since its beginning.

“If I was renting somewhere and had a family and children the issue is going to be school,” he said. “What happens if I have to move? I am going to be able to live in the City of Oxnard or am I going to live where they find an available spot for me?”

He would rather stay at his current location for his kids’ education.

“I’ll keep my mouth shut because families are going to come first,” he said.

Mayor Tim Flynn interjected that Oxnard has schools of choice.

“Students can choose the school they attend,” he said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez appreciates how the staff worked with affordable housing advocates.

“I spent decades representing tenants in this city who lived in substandard housing,” she said.

“Some of the conditions I saw were life-threatening to the whole family, and many people didn’t have good choices because of their income or their vulnerable status in our city.

We do have business and landowners who threaten them and if you say something or complain you’re going to suffer the consequences.”

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said he is comfortable with the program.

“I think there is a perception out there that we might be dislodging a large number of people and I am not sure that will happen,” he said.

Councilman Bert Perello said the program is a long time coming.

He thought people weren’t supposed to live in garages.

Perello also asked what percentage of the fines they collected, and said there is a fight about who will receive the fine.

“We’re not getting the income coming in from these fines,” he said.

Perello cited a religious statement, to sum up, his feelings.

“They crucified one to make a Christian out of a lot of them,” he said. “There is going to have to be a time where somebody who is operating one of these facilities that are egregious I want someone to pay the price publicly. When we find someone, who is doing something bad this needs to be made public.”

Flynn said his involvement with the issue started 14 years ago and he finds the action rewarding.

“Government doesn’t always respond as quickly as the public or council would want,” he said.

members and the mayor are elected by registered voters of the entire city. Under the new district election system, the city is divided into six separate districts, with each district electing a council member from that district. The mayoral position will continue to be elected on an at-large basis.

Districts 1, 2 and 5 will hold elections for a four-year term in November 2018, and Districts 3, 4 and 6 will hold elections for a four-year term in November 2020.

In addition, District 6 will hold an election for an initial two-year term in November 2018, allowing six members of the City Council to be in

How to Address the Coming Shortfall of Primary Care Doctors

By Dr. G. Richard Olds About 20,000 students recently graduated from U.S. medical schools.

Now, they're beginning the next chapter of their training, as residents.

Yet less than 7,000 will be pursuing careers in primary care. America will be short up to 43,100 primary care physicians by 2030, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Medical schools have a responsibility to help fix this shortfall.

They can do so by making primary care more alluring to students.

Primary care physicians are our healthcare system's first line of defense. They diagnose illnesses, help manage chronic conditions, and refer patients to specialists.

Without them, patients would get lost in today's byzantine health system.

The shortage of primary care doctors is partially due to concerns over money and status. Specialists are better paid and often involved in prestigious new research.

Between April 2016 and March 2017, physician recruitment firm Merritt Hawkins conducted nearly 3,300 searches for its clients.

The average offered to recruit an orthopedic surgeon was $579,000.

The average to recruit a family practitioner was less than half that.

The shortage also occurs because U.S. medical school’s faculty are mainly specialists. Surgery departments in U.S. medical schools boast over 15,000 faculty members.

Family practice departments have just 5,700 members.

Professors serve as role models to students, many of whom seek to follow in the footsteps of these mentors. Overwhelmingly, that means pursuing a career as a specialist.

Aspiring doctors also train in settings that push them toward

specialties, not primary care. Medical students generally train in large teaching hospitals that serve patients who have been referred from primary and secondary care providers. Few students train in small clinics and local doctor's offices.

But most health care -- and almost all primary care -- is delivered outside of the hospital.

Americans make 923 million trips to physician offices every year -and only 130 million to emergency departments. More than half of office visits are to primary care physicians.

So medical students rarely gain enough experience in primary care settings to decide if it's the right

career path for them. prepares residents for careers in These barriers are significant but pediatrics and family medicine. not insurmountable.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME

There was a reason Ku Klux Klan members wore hoods that hid their faces.

Anonymity allows people to act upon their worst instincts without having to suffer the consequences.

Southern bigots acted out their racial hatred as night riders and resumed their roles as responsible doctors, policemen, judges and other model citizens the next day because no one knew who was behind the masks.

The internet has given individuals similar anonymity, allowing trolls and haters to assume false or cloaked identities as they terrorize their victims in cyberspace.

There had always been a certain shame that attached to depraved acts of cruelty.

Bullies and sadists did not want to be known for their true selves. If the world did not know who they were, they could dress themselves in a suit of false rectitude and hypocritically wag their fingers at those they deem to be unfit.

Today, however, there is a new norm for bullying and sadism. Donald Trump has figuratively flung wide the gates of hell and all its minions have come spilling out. His cabinet is rife with villains determined to leave the entire Earth worse than when they found it. They appear to take joy in abusing the helpless and molesting the rights of people they consider unworthy.

Trump’s lieutenants are so drunk with power they believe that through their lies they can support bigotry, greed and callousness with impunity. But recent events have shown that America has had enough of this bad behavior and will not allow it to be normalized.

In confronting Trumpism, we can all take a lesson from Emile Zola, the French journalist, who in a famous 1898 commentary titled “J’accuse,” charged the French president and government with anti-Semitism because of a blatant case of injustice against a Jewish French military officer, Alfred Dreyfus. Dreyfus had been

falsely accused and convicted of treason due to anti-Semitic sentiment in France at the time.

Zola's charge against the president and government of France spoke truth to power so forcefully that it started a groundswell of support for Dreyfus that led to his being released from prison and awarded a medal for having endured martyrdom.

This tactic of “Naming and Shaming” also has been used for years by Human Rights Watch to confront dictators and human rights violators around the world with an aim towards forcing them to stop their bad behavior. Now it is time to employ this tactic at home. We know who the bad actors are, and we know what they are doing to enable a maniacal, power hungry demagogue who poses a threat, not only to this country, but to the world.

The Nuremberg Trials established the principle that individuals cannot escape the consequences of their actions by claiming that they were merely following

orders, and Trump’s minions cannot escape responsibility for their bad behavior by claiming they were only carrying out the president’s wishes.

Among some Democrats who consider themselves to be progressive, there is strong support for the tactic of naming and shaming when used against foreign dictators and their enablers. But they appear to value civility over justice and wring their hands over the lack of decorum when it is used against Trump’s enablers. These Democrats have turned on Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California and chided her for speaking truth to power when she called for all right-thinking Americans to confront Trump’s enablers whenever they show their faces in public.

Those of us old enough to remember the Civil Rights Movement recall that Southern bigots and their enablers intoned in the 1960s how demonstrators lacked civility and proposed proper decorum as the path

to voting rights and equal justice when confronted with fire hoses, vicious police dogs and bludgeoning night sticks. Only after it became clear that civil disobedience would persist until the humanity of people of color was recognized that America’s political and cultural landscape began to change.

For anyone who has a love for humanity, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the rest of Trump’s hellish minions are not entitled to civility, regardless how many “white girl tears” they shed over being ejected from restaurants and other public places. Shaming them is a tactic that works and should be continued, as it is quite possibly the way to bring America back to a sane path – the qualms of those who would abide tyranny for the sake of decorum notwithstanding.

Racial Divides Found in Student Loan Defaults

By Charlene Crowell With 44 million consumers owing student debt that now reaches $1.5 trillion and still climbing, a lot of people want to better understand how and why this unsustainable debt trajectory can be better managed.

For Black consumers who typically have less family wealth than other races and ethnicities, borrowing is more frequent, and as a result, often leads to five figure debts for undergraduate programs and well beyond $100,000 for graduate or professional degrees.

Besides deep debt incurred to gain a college education, another sphere of concern presents yet another financial hurdle: student loan defaults. New research by Judith ScottClayton of the Brookings Institution focuses on explaining these defaults and what happens once they occur. Her research shows that a large racial gap exists in default rates between Black student loan borrowers and their White counterparts. This gap can only be partially explained by controlling for multiple socioeconomic and educational attainment factors.

After accounting for variations in family wealth and income, differences in degree attainment, college grade point average and even post-college income and employment, a stubborn and statistically significant 11 percentage point gap remains between Black and White student loan borrowers. Before adjusting for these factors, the gap is 28 percent, with Black borrowers defaulting at a rate of more than double that of Whites -- 49 percent compared to 21 percent over 12 years.

The research also finds a strong disadvantage to attending for-profit colleges, in which Black students disproportionately enroll. More than a decade after leaving school, and accounting for the same background and attainment factors listed above, loan defaults of for-profit college borrowers exceed those of two--year public sector peers by 11 percent.

The author points to the need to understand what influences the “stark” remaining divide.

“The better we can understand what drives these patterns,” wrote Scott-Clayton, “the

for up to seven years. During this time, the cost of credit for other goods and services will be higher, and additionally cost many job applicants to lose out on employment opportunities. For several years, credit score screening has become a part of the job application process for many employers.

“The numbers show that our current system is not working, and that higher education is not providing the pathway to financial stability that it once accomplished,” said Ashley Harrington, Policy Counsel and Special Assistant to the President of the Center for Responsible Lending. “We need federal and state policymakers to take concrete steps to effectively address this crisis, such as better regulation of for-profit colleges.

“As for loan servicers, it is time to hold them accountable for their errors,” continued Harrington. “Standardizing income-based repayment plans, and when appropriate, refinancing of student loans, should be offered as alternative options before allowing borrowers to default.”

I Fell for It… Again

By Dr. James L. Snyder An old saying more or less defines my life, “What we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history.”

When I was younger, I assumed that the older I got, the smarter I would become. I have not achieved that at this point in my life. It gets so tiresome to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

I do hope though, that this will change somewhere along my life. I am hoping it changes before I die.

I was reminded of this flaw in my personality several weeks ago when the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I spent a little bit of vacation time at St. Augustine.

Someone had given us tickets for several nights in a bed and breakfast.

We spent the whole week just enjoying ourselves. I should correct that though. I spent the whole week reading and meditating with my eyes closed.

The other side of our relationship went to all the thrift stores in the area.

She would leave right after breakfast, stop back for lunch, then spend the rest of the day until suppertime going from one thrift shop to another. How she can do this for days on end is beyond my wildest dream.

Several times, she asked if I wanted to go with her, but I declined this most gracious invitation. I remember the last time I took her up on that offer and we bounce from one thrift store to the next thrift store. They all started to look alike after a while.

It only takes me five minutes to thoroughly examine the thrift store, while my wife takes two hours to go through bit-by-bit every aspect of that thrift store. Every thrift store in the area knows her by name at this point.

I, the lazier part of the marital equation, chose to stay in our room and just relax. I am just as addicted to relaxation as my wife is addicted to thrift store shopping. I am not certain who suffers the worst addiction.

To be honest, she has gotten many wonderful deals at some of these thrift stores. Whenever we need anything, she knows exactly which thrift store to go to and she can barter them down to the very

bottom. How they make any money on her shopping I do not know.

Every once in a while I suffer this awful nightmare. I wake up sweating and breathing really hard.

The nightmare is that we have opened up our own thrift store. No dream can get any worse than that!

I never tell her of these nightmares because I do not want to plant any

ideas in her head. I lean strictly away from that idea.

In spite of all of this, I still have failed to learn anything from history.

My wife had spent most of the day visiting these thrift stores, and also buying things from these thrift stores, and had come home and we had a little bit of supper in our room. I assumed we were in for the

evening.

I wish I would know when to keep my mouth shut. As we were finishing our casual supper, I said something that I now regret very much. I said, “Boy, it sure would be nice to have one of those lap desks so I could use my computer while I’m sitting here in the bed.”

I did not mean for this to be a

point of discussion just a casual observation, that is all.

Then I took it a step further. “Have you ever seen any lap desks in the thrift stores that you visit?”

If there is anything I could ever take back in my life, this would have been one of them. I did not know how serious the subject was.

“I don’t know,” she said most enthusiastically, “but I’ll go and find out right…”

Before she could say the word “now,” she had gone out the door and shut it most soundly. The rest of the evening she was visiting thrift stores all over the place. I was afraid, very much afraid, that she would actually find one and bring it back.

I suppose they are to be found in thrift stores somewhere. But I just meant it as a passing bit of conversation.

Four hours later, she returned and was very much excited. She had found something she had been looking for, for a very long time. It was a very eloquent teapot with 6 cups and saucers to it.

“Look what I found,” she said most excitedly. “I’ve been looking for this and we can use it at our next lady’s tea.” According to her, this tea set matches the one she had back home. She was so excited about it.

I would not say anything, but I think she forgot why she went to the thrift stores in the first place.

Now I have learned something from history, and that is not to remind her of the lap desk that she was going to look for. To this day, I have never mentioned it.

I like what the wise old man in the Bible said, “A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak” (Ecclesiastes 3:7).

There is a time to “keep silence” and it is a wise man who knows when. That may be why people say that silence is golden.

NEWS Gang Injunctions continued from page 1

The hearing officer may look at the evidence against a gang member, including gang tattoos and if someone witnessed them making gang hand signs.

They will also examine if they associate themselves with other gang members.

Oxnard Police Department Assistant Chief Eric Sonstegard led the discussion and said the city had served 368 gang members with the two gang injunctions, and the department has averaged 121 injunction arrests over the last five years.

“Earlier this year, we had temporarily suspended

enforcement of our civil gang injunctions because of some litigation that had come down in the California courts,” he said. Historically, the Oxnard Police Department has a gang detective who serves as a gang injunction manager, and that manager would gather all the information they have, including criminal history, field interview cards on a gang member.

“We would conduct a review of that internally, it would get approved by the supervisor, and the person would be located and served with the appropriate gang

injunction documentation,” he said. “Once that service is complete, the person is bound by the prohibitions of the gang injunction. If they were in the safety zone, they were bound by what that injunction said.”

The alleged gang member has recourse, he said, and if the police arrest someone for a gang injunction violation, the person can go to court and make an argument they shouldn’t be part of the gang injunction.

He said two court cases affected gang injunctions in the state, including Vasquez versus Rackauckas in the City of

You will be bidding

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-619394-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy.

The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

FAMILY FEATURES

packed schedule often leads to less meals around the table.

Between balancing family, friends, work and activities, it can be easy to reach for a pre-packaged snack on-the-go that lacks important vitamins and nutrients.

Instead, when looking for portable, grab-and- go foods, think about a multipurpose treat like watermelon. Not only can watermelon be diced, sliced, balled or blended, it also provides numerous health benefits. Watermelon contains higher levels of lycopene than any other fresh fruit or vegetable and is a source of vitamins A and C, as well as vitamin B6 and potassium.

Thinking beyond traditional slices, chunks or balls, there are many ways to incorporate watermelon into some of your favorite to-go meals, whether as a side dish or a key ingredient in beverages, salads or wraps. For example, these recipes for Watermelon and Bulgur Wheat Salad and Watermelon Collagen Creamsicle from the National Watermelon Promotion Board can help satisfy your sweet tooth and provide necessary nutrients while tackling the next task on your to-do list.

Find more watermelon recipes perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle at watermelon.org.

L.A. Care Health Plan Helps Kids Get Ready for Back-to-School Free Health and Dental Screenings, Backpacks, Raffles Nearly a third of children in Los Angeles County live in poverty. Their parents often struggle to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. Back-to-school supplies fall way down on the list of priorities, even though such supplies play a critical role in educational success.

supplies feel greater self-esteem and classroom performance improves,” said Mabel Ponce, the Manager of the Inglewood FRC. “We want to do everything we can to help the kids in our community get ahead. That includes helping to keep them and their parents healthy.”

The health fair will offer free glucose, blood pressure and body mass index screenings, along with dental screenings. There will be free haircuts for the kids, a rock climbing wall, balloons, face painting, Zumba, and KJLH radio will be providing musical entertainment.

Please join us for a fun and fulfilling day!

L.A. Care Health Plan is a public entity and community-accountable health plan serving residents of Los Angeles County through a variety of health coverage programs including L.A. Care Covered™, Medi-Cal, L.A. Care Cal MediConnect Plan and PASC-SEIU Homecare Workers Health Care Plan. L.A. Care is a leader in developing new programs through innovative partnerships designed to provide health coverage to vulnerable populations and to support the safety net. With more than two million members, L.A. Care is the nation’s largest publicly operated health plan.

L.A. Care Health Plan, the largest publicly-operated health plan in the country, is once again determined to help these children succeed.

For the fourth year in a row, L.A. Care is holding Back to School Health Fairs at four of its Family Resource Centers (FRC). The fairs will include health screenings and a giveaway of backpacks filled with school supplies.

The first health fair and giveaway is Saturday, July 21, 10 am to 1 pm, at the Inglewood FRC, 3111 W. Century Boulevard. Six hundred backpacks filled with rulers, pens, pencils, crayons, and more will be handed out. One per child, while supplies last.

Coca Cola.

Physicians know that excessive sugar consumption leads to a host of ailments.

Yet today's hospitals are veritable sugar shacks.

This doesn't make sense.

Our bodies weren't designed to process copious amounts of sugar. Excess sugar causes our pancreases to produce excess insulin, which disrupts our metabolisms and causes our bodies to store its extra energy as body fat.

Sugar consumption drives America's obesity epidemic, which accounts for nearly one in five U.S. deaths. Folks who drink one or more sugary beverages per day are 26 percent more likely to develop diabetes than those who have one or fewer drinks per month.

Researchers have even linked sugar to certain cancers. One study of 60,000 women showed that women who consumed excessive sugar were more likely to develop uterine cancer.

It's unfortunate that

Patients are also encouraged to consume Gatorade to get electrolytes.

But just 32 ounces of Gatorade contains 56 grams of sugar—double what the World Health Organization recommends per day.

In most hospitals, patients can choose from a smorgasbord of sugar.

Vending machines are packed with candy and soda—and cafeterias serve dessert with most meals.

One in five U.S. hospitals even houses a fast-food restaurant like McDonald's!

Medical establishments must do better. That's why, for years, I've advocated for my hospital—West Virginia's Jefferson Medical Center (JMC)—to remove all sugary drinks from its vending machines and cafeterias. We just did so.

JMC is one of the first hospitals in the country to offer low-carb meals

to its diabetic patients.

That's hugely important.

Recent studies reveal that a carb-restricted diet can slash long-term blood sugar levels for diabetics.

JMC offers handbooks, videos, and recipes to help discharged patients adopt well-balanced, low-sugar diets. In West Virginia—

the most obese state in the nation—efforts like these are critical.

Other hospitals are stepping up. In 2012, the Connecticut Mental Health Center began a "Sound Mind Sound Body" Initiative to improve the health of employees and patients.

Now, patient meals only

include water, coffee, tea, milk, and sugar-free juice.

Geisinger Health Systems in Pennsylvania went sugar free for beverages in January.

And other hospitals are swapping sugary protein shakes for sugar-free yogurt, which is full of protein, healthy fats, and "good bacteria" that aids digestion.

World Sickle Cell Day Kicks Off Fund Drive Aims to Fund Medical Cannabis Clinical Trial

ATLANTA—In recognition of World Sickle Cell Day, a coalition led by the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia, Inc. (SCFG), announced a fund-raising campaign to launch the first clinical trials investigating the efficacy of cannabis oil for pain associated with Sickle Cell Disease. The coalition includes Biotech, Inc. and the Phoenix Tears Foundation.

"We urge the Sickle Cell community, our friends and allies to join in supporting the coalition as we search for alternative treatments for those battling this painful and sometimes fatal condition," said Deb McGhee McCrary, SCFG President & CEO. "These trials will fully explore the pain relief properties of medical cannabis as an alternative to highly addictive opioids."

The Georgia Legislature made history when Sickle Cell Disease was added to the list of maladies approved for Medical Cannabis opening the door for clinical trials. This is the first clinical trial of its kind in the nation.

To assist in this effort, the public can make donations through the SCFG website www. sicklecellga.org/Donate. For more information,

interested persons can visit http://sicklecellga. org/clinical-trial/.

"This is important work for the thousands who suffer with SCD," added Phoenix Tears Foundation President Janet Rosendahl (Sweeney), Ph.D. "We look forward to bringing our years of research with Cannabis to those suffering from Sickle Cell Anemia."

Babies born with sickle cell anemia can experience painful swelling of the hands and feet (Dactylitis) which requires medication and hospitalization. In children such as Kendryln Pitts, Georgia's SCFG Poster child, joint pain, swelling and limitation of motion occur frequently. As adults, most sickle cell patients experience pain crises requiring hospitalization, blood transfusions, and opioid painkillers.

To date, the only cure for SCD is a bone marrow transplant, which is costly and out of reach for most patients. According to Biotech President Dr. Jacob Savage, "Pain control represents the most practical way to ensure a better quality of life for sickle cell patients.

Medical cannabis holds great hope as a nonaddictive alternative to opioids."

ENTERTAINMENT

By Lynn Elber

Donald Glover's “Atlanta” was the top comedy series nominee with 16 bids, poised to take advantage of the absence this time around of three-time winner “Veep.” “Atlanta” will face newcomers including “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “GLOW” and “Barry.” Others in the category include “blacki s h ,”

LOS ANGELES (AP)— “Game of Thrones” roared back onto the Emmy battlefield, topping Thursday's nominations with 22 bids but with a formidable opponent in last year's winner “The Handmaid's Tale,” while a streaming platform made history by earning the most bids for the first time.

N

ETFLIX'S 112 nominations took away the frontrunner title that HBO held since 2001, giving cable and broadcast networks more reason to fear their future as the TV industry continues to change.

HBO is no piker: It claimed 108 bids. “Game of Thrones” helped boost the premium cable service's total and became the most-nominated series of all time, with its 129 nods topping the 124 nominations earned by “ER.”

“Silicon Va l l e y ,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.”

The newbie comedies aced out long-time Emmy favorite “Modern

Family,” a five-time winner and perennial nominee since it debuted in 2009 on ABC. Its absence leaves just one network contender for best comedy, ABC's “blackish,” which also earned nods for Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson, who noted his urban California roots.

“Being a kid from Compton, one could only dream of moments like this, so it's truly a humbling experience right now,” Anderson said.

The shortlived revival of “Roseanne,” canceled because of star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet, drew only one major nomination, a supporting actress nod for Laurie Metcalf. Another revival, “Will & Grace,” got Emmy love for nominees Megan Mullally and Molly Shannon but the main stars and series itself were snubbed.

“Killing Eve” star Sandra Oh made history of her own, becoming the first actress of Asian descent to be nominated for lead acting honors in a drama series. Oh had earned five supporting bids for “Grey's Anatomy.”

“I feel tremendous gratitude and joy with this nomination” and am “thrilled” for the show's cast and crew, Oh said in a statement. She added a postscript: “I think my mother at this moment may actually be satisfied”.

The TV industry has made recent strides toward inclusion, with Glover and Sterling K. Brown of “This Is Us” winning top acting awards last year and both nominated again.

“I think we're all happy with the direction we're going.

This is the most diverse class of performer nominees we've had—we're almost up to a third, which is fantastic,” Maury McIntyre, TV academy president.

“There's still a lot of work to be done in terms of gender” and with behind-the-camera jobs, he said.

Among the notable first-time nominees: Issa Rae for “Insecure,” Darren Criss, Ricky Martin and Penelope Cruz for “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” Tiffany Haddish for “Saturday Night Live,” Letitia Wright for “Black Museum (Black Mirror)” and John Legend for “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.”

If Legend wins, he'll join the rarified club of “EGOT” performers who've won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

1st Comic-Con of the MeToo Era Grapples with Harassment

By Lindsey Bahr LOS ANGELES—ComicCon, the annual gathering of over 130,000 fans, artists, collectors and geek culture savants, has already been changed by the (hash)MeToo and Time's Up era, with at least one notable figure stepping aside due to sexual misconduct allegations.

But questions remain about its atmosphere and whether convention organizers will take any extra steps to address longstanding allegations of harassment issues during the event which kicked off Wednesday night in San Diego.

The convention has always been a home for comic book and genre enthusiasts, and a refuge for like-minded fans to mingle, but it's also been a place rife with harassment of women and others, whether it's cosplayers (people who dress up in costumes), general attendees or even those hawking merchandise (sometimes called “booth babes'').

“I don't think any convention has historically been a safe or inviting space for women,'' says Cher Martinetti, the managing editor of SYFY Wire's Fangrrls site.

Sexual harassment at fan conventions is a subject that is often raised, but the scrutiny will be even more intense this year with the heightened awareness about misconduct.

Just weeks ago, Nerdist founder Chris Hardwick, a mainstay at Comic-Con and moderator of numerous panels, stepped aside from moderating AMC and BBC America panels amid allegations from an exgirlfriend, which Hardwick has denied. And since last fall

a handful of familiar ComicCon faces, have been accused of misconduct as well, like Ain't It Cool News founder Harry Knowles and “Honest Trailers'' creator Andy Signore.

Comic-Con has a code of conduct that representatives say was, “Intentionally created to serve as a comprehensive measure that makes attendee safety a priority.

“We want all participants to feel if they are treated in a manner that makes them uncomfortable, that there is a system in place that will respond to misconduct and sexual harassment,'' ComicCon International told The Associated Press in a statement.

Accordingtothecode,attendees must “respect commonsense rules for public behavior'' and “personal interaction'' and that “harassing or offensive behavior will not be tolerated.'' The code specifies that anyone who feels at risk should report it to a security person or a staff member and outlines the location of the show office in the San Diego Convention Center, which is open during show hours.

Anyone who violates the code is at risk of losing their pass.

But as with most big confabs and entertainment festivals, events don't stop when the convention center closes, and many attendees will continue their nights at parties and offsite installations, beyond the reach of convention hall security and staff, during the four-day event.

And Comic-Con has the unique distinction that many attendees dress in costume, some of which can be revealing.

In 2014, a group called Geeks for CONsent made waves petitioning for a formal antiharassment policy at ComicCon. The group organizers carried signs and passed out temporary tattoos that year that read, “Cosplay does not equal consent.''

Since (hash)MeToo shook the culture, other large-scale gatherings have reevaluated their own safety protocols. Some have addressed the issue openly and instituted hotlines for attendees to report instances of harassment. The Sundance Film

Festival earlier this year updated its code of conduct and partnered with the Utah Attorney General's Office to implement a 24-hour hotline.

Sunu Chandy, the Legal Director for the National Women's Law Center has observed other best practices emerging in the wake of (hash) MeToo and Time's Up as well.

“I see a lot of organizations taking this moment to be very clear and upfront at the opening sessions about expected behaviors, what's off limits and where someone should go,'' says Chandy. “That will go a long way in setting the tone for the event and making sure that all the participants can take part in a safe and enjoyable manner.''

Representatives for ComicCon International declined to provide specifics about its security measures but said that they work closely with the San Diego Police Department and other law enforcement entities.

They also employ several private security companies.

Estefans Credits Immigration Debate for Fueled Reaction to New Musical, ‘On Your Feet!’

By Mike Cidoni Lennox LOS ANGELES (AP)—Gloria and Emilio Estefan credit President Donald Trump with boosting audience enthusiasm for their stage musical “On Your Feet!”

As the immigration debate has heated up, so have audiences’ reactions to scenes in new stage musical that spins around two immigrants, the Grammy winners said in a recent interview.

“On Your Feet!” tells the story of the Estefans, who fled Cuba, settled in Miami and eventually attained the American dream. They built a musical empire with a string of successes, including their signature song, “Conga.”
