Oxnard--The Finance & Governance Committee, July 28, approved the purchase of prefabricated self-cleaning and flushing automatic restrooms for future park projects unanimously. Prefabricated restrooms will be the new city standard is it moves forward with future projects as they replace or add new restrooms with a minimal footprint. The city chose APT Exeloo, a prefabricated restroom company for $214,739. They outbid the Public Restroom Company, which are also prefabricated restrooms and cost $247,884. A build-in-place standard cinder block restroom costs 448,000. The Parks and Recreation ad-hoc committee supported the item. Oxnard has 36 park restrooms in the city that are maintained by public works. The general fund pays for upkeeping 27 of those restrooms while nine get funded by assessment districts. n Exeloo, see page 6

Oxnard-- The Public Works & Transportation Committee, July 28, approved an amended resolution for seawall funding in Mandalay Bay and committed to 50 percent funding unanimously. The committee also directed the city staff to work with Mandalay Bay and iron out all the details of the funding mechanism. The original resolution committed the city to share 50 percent of the cost if the Mandalay community forms a community facilities district (CFD) to satisfy its obligations for the other 50 percent. Committee Member Tim Flynn suggested the compromise for the time-being. The cost for the project carries an estimated $200 million price tag, which includes replacing the seawalls during the first 25 years and maintenance beyond those 25 years. The original motion drew the ire of the Channel Islands Waterfront Homeowners Association, and

they accused the city of stonewalling Mandalay Bay, not communicating with the group, withholding engineering reports, and other problems that kept the group from supporting the item. Between 1968 and 1973, Oxnard approved developing 743 attached and detached single-family homes, along with 37 greenbelts, that made up the Mandalay Bay community. The developer installed reinforced Boise and Zurnstyle walls that created lots for residential development. Those walls were constructed in the 1960s, and at the time, followed building codes. There have been significant changes to the code regarding seismicity and retaining walls. There is much more knowledge about earthquakes and ground movement today—the last building code change for this was in 2019. The city started seeing wall degradation in the first 20 years, because of their adverse reaction to the marine environment. “There are two reasons for that,” Public Works Din Seawall, see page 16

Oxnard-- It was an overcast and chilly day, July 26, but when you factor in Covid-19 cabin fever, that negated the need to get out and enjoy the beach at Silver Strand.

large crowd gathered at the kids’ beach, just down the block from the big beach, and despite the weather, they took the plunge and decided to take a swim. Kids played in the sand and had a blast in the water while parents sat on the sidelines and tried to keep warm. Deborah Bernhardt braved the weather, and she was dressed in a jacket and a pair of shorts. Regardless, she still wanted to take the trip to the beach. “We just wanted to get away from being cooped up in the house,” she said. “We were looking for a change of scenery. That’s what we were trying to do.” As events continue to be canceled, she hasn’t given up on 2020, but she does want to get outside and start doing things again. “I do love seeing the restaurants having all that open seating,” she said. “I like that a lot.” Deborah had no plans to take the plunge into the water and laughed at the idea. “Definitely not,” she said. “The only ones out there are the kids, so no, no, no. It’s still beautiful, even though it’s cold. It’s a nice change of scenery, and it’s still beautiful. We’re fortunate enough to live close to the beach, so why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of this.” n Beachgoers, see page 7

Finance & Governance writes off old debt By Chris Frost

Finance & Governance Committee Member Bert Perello (File Photo by Chris Frost)

Oxnard-- The Finance & Governance Committee, July 28, approved writing off three individual receivable accounts totaling $138,736. The accounts range from 11-14 years old. In total, the council wrote off 999 uncollectable debts that have accumulated over 20 years. The city’s audit firm has advised them to write off uncollectable debts in a more timely fashion and not leave them on the books for multiple years. The city stays diligent in addressing the audit firm’s assessments, and the finance department worked closely with the city attorney, treasurer, and city manager’s offices to develop a new policy. The council approved and adopted the new policy in late 2019. Only the city council can write-off accounts receivable unless the individual amount is less than $25,000, which City Manager Alex Nguyen can approve. Controller Tonya Cheng presented the item to the committee and pointed out that an uncollected receivable write-off does not constitute debt forgiveness or a gift of public funds. The new policy incentivized the finance department to examine the debts in detail. “These receivables have been sitting there year-after-year, cluttering the accounting records with little to no hope for collection,” she said. The statute of limitations for the accounts expired, she said, despite the collection attempts made by the city attorney’s office,

which was expensive. The statute of limitations usually expires after four years. These accounts are between 6-20 years old. The total value of the 999 uncollectable accounts over the last 20 years is $684,000. “Over the course, this has been accumulating; it averages out to be approximately $34,000 a year,” she said. “That is about 0.3 percent of the annual finance department billing system. It is a pretty decent ratio.” The city has collected 99.7 percent of its debt over 20 years. The cleanup may seem significant, but Cheung said the city had neglected this practice for 20 years. “We need to start someday, and we’d like to start right now,” she said. “We want to move forward and look ahead, rather than living in the shadow of the past.” As part of the cleanup process, City Manager Alex Nguyen approved writing off 996 accounts that are less than 25,000. During Committee comments, Vianey Lopez noted this sends a bad message to the community. She wanted to know how the city can keep people from not paying their debts and watch it get written off. “Last year, through a cross-functional effort, we have established a solid policy governing the accounts receivable for a write-off,” Cheung said. “The finance department has been diligently implementing this new policy. That’s a start from this happening again.” City Attorney Stephen Fischer added that the item writes off old debt, and it will continue pursuing people who owe money. “The cost of pursuing collection efforts for various reasons outweighs the prospect of the city collecting on that debt,” he said. “That would be a waste of public funds.” Committee Member Bert Perello said $683,000 is a staggering number. He singled out one receivable for $77,200 for property damage belonging to the city. The debt was not brought through the judgment program to pursue collection.

“That turns my stomach,” he said. “I believe in holding people accountable and believe that people make mistakes. You’re talking and listening to a guy who makes mistakes.” He wanted to know if the mistake was intentional. “The staff looked into it, and they can’t determine this,” he said. “People will look at this and say holy cow. The city is giving it away.” He wanted to know how the city can hold a debt collection vendor accountable. “There is a definite line drawn in the sand with current council direction of what was allowed in the past, and what will be allowed in the future,” he said. It’s just like washing your clothes. If you go 20 years without washing your clothes, there are going to be some problems. I believe some people will use this information for nefarious needs with an election coming up.” He called the item an example of good government that looks out for the public’s best interest. Chief Financial Officer Kevin Riper said the agency that collects from accounts in arrears is done on a contingency basis. “If they don’t collect anything, they get paid zero,” he said. “If they do collect, they get 18 percent of what they collect.” The city’s policy calls for an annual review for the Department of Billing and Licensing for utility billing accounts and the finance department for miscellaneous accounts receivable. Committee Chairman Tim Flynn asked if the debtors’ credit report gets clouded. Assistant City Treasurer Eden Alomeri said the collection agency reports the debt to the credit bureau if they have the debtor’s social security number or driver’s license number. “We get calls from the debtors trying to fix their credit by paying the amount they owe to the city,” she said. The item moves forward to the full council and passed unanimously.

NEWS Sher touts her equity and access program to stop the school to prison pipeline By Chris Frost

xnard-The Zoom interview between Ventura County District Five Supervisor Candidate and Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez and Karen Sher, President of the Oxnard Union High School District Board of Trustees, continues with the Schools and Communities First ballot question, which Ramirez endorses. Sher and Ramirez discussed reopening schools and the potential threat to the health and well-being of students and teachers, along with digital learning, adjusting to electronic platforms, and wishing for a return to normalcy. Ramirez said society has its priorities wrong when it comes to funding schools, and higher education suffers because of that mistake.

In response to an increasing gang presence throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the City of Oxnard, in partnership with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, sought a court order establishing gang injunctions in 2005 against the Colonia Chiques and Southside Chiques street gangs. The two civil gang injunctions proved to be an effective tool in a comprehensive approach to reducing gang violence in Oxnard’s neighborhoods. By late 2017, two California court decisions significantly changed the requirements for placing individuals

It’s all of us.” Ramirez asked Sher what the school district can do to reopen, assuming that the virus has calmed down. Ramirez noted that California and Oxnard are being hit hard with Covid-19, right now. “In my opinion, we cannot reopen until we have a four-week period where there has not been a new virus documented,” Sher said. “That’s an important first step, but you are asking me, and that is my opinion.” Sher called a vaccine a big step, but it is also a tricky issue. “Is it going to cost money,” she asked. “Who is going to access it and how will they implement it? Are all communities served the same

way? Historically, that has not been the case. Impoverished communities usually receive services last.” She’s learned that children are often asymptomatic when they have Covid-19. “They can be carriers and never display symptoms,” she said. “When you talk about taking the temperature of every child, it doesn’t mean anything. They’re not displaying any symptoms, so they are not going to have a temperature. Who’s going to take the temperature, me? I haven’t been trained or would be willing to put into my contract. I’m a professional educator, and that’s where I get frustrated.” Ramirez interjected that Sher is not a babysitter. “If we were babysitters, we would be paid by the child, and we’d be making a lot more money,” Sher said.

Oxnard Police Department to work with DA’s office to vacate civil gang injunctions on injunctions. As a result of the need to change processes, the Oxnard Police Department suspended enforcement of its two gang injunctions. Over the course of the next two and a half years, the Oxnard Police Department and the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office worked together to develop processes that would be compliant with the new court decisions. However, these practices added steps that, while procedurally sound and on firm legal ground, have shown to be especially time and labor-intensive. One significant consequence of this was that it had become burdensome to manage even a small number of gang members. A review of the cost-effectiveness and resources needed to properly continue the effort prompted

the decision to discontinue civil gang injunctions in Oxnard for the foreseeable future. “We always looked at the gang injunctions as one tool, of many, in our efforts to reduce gang crime. When we announced our intent to seek the first injunction, we saw an immediate decrease in gang activity. From the start, we used a measured and thoughtful approach toward the management and enforcement of the injunctions. Over time, gang behavior has evolved, and court decisions restricted our use of the injunctions. Both of these factors made the injunctions less impactful in lowering gang crime. Since 2017, we have been unable to enforce the two injunctions. In our continuing efforts to best use our limited resources, we have determined that we will no longer maintain and enforce the two injunctions.” - Chief Scott Whitney District Attorney Greg Totten shared, “I respect the decision by Chief Whitney to cease enforcement of the gang injunctions in Oxnard, where gang association and related crime has evolved from street corners to smartphones. As gangs adapt their methods of perpetrating a crime, so must law enforcement to bring those who commit violent gang crimes to justice.”

NEWS Angels among us; Oxnard School District keeps the kids fed By Chris Frost

chris@tricountysentry.com

Oxnard—Parents and kids made their way to Lemonwood Elementary School, July 27, as the Oxnard School district wrapped up its summer meal program and gave those attending much-needed supplies. Lemonwood, Driffill, RJ Frank, and Freemont elementary schools provided the lunches. The distribution started at the outset of Covid-19 in March and supports people who may have been affected by the virus and lost their job or anyone else from the school district who has a need. Many parents work in the fields, and in the Lemonwood area, many families are in the same house living together. The kids were well behaved, stayed by their moms, and helped carry the food to their car. The food is distributed to parents who have children between the ages of 1-18 years. The food followed all the state nutritional requirements, so the boxes had veggies, fruits, grains, and milk in accordance with the United States Department of Agriculture. The district distributes 600 meals a week at Lemonwood. Kitchen Coordinator Esteban Varela is on loan from Juan Soria Elementary School for the summer and makes sure the kids get food. “What we did in the district is, we made a meal box,” he said. “It provides lunch and breakfast for the kids for five days. The parents show up on Monday, they’ll get a little meal box, and it has enough food for the for the whole week.” When the program started in March, the school district made meal boxes for the families at their warehouse. The boxes now come prepacked from a distributor. For now, he said everything remains shuttered. “That’s the hard part about this,” Varela said. “We’re trying to get vendors to distribute, but everything is closing and shutting down.” In the Lemonwood area, he said families are struggling. “Kids come to school, and the only meal they have are the ones we are providing,” Varela said. “We’re trying to reach those kids, the

ones who really need the food and go to school to eat, instead of getting an education. It’s an important thing for us to still offer this for the families who need it and will be at home with no food because the parents are working.” People who come to the school hungry and don’t meet the requirements get referred to agencies who can help. One agency that helps these people is Food Share Ventura County. “We do have a paper we give the parents that send them to a page at the school district website that tells them about Food Share and other agencies,” he said. “There are rules that we need to follow, but we are humans.” He loves seeing all the kids. “Especially if it’s a kid from your school,” he said. “They see you and say oh, you’re here. You see their excitement and smile, and they are excited to see you. It en-

ergizes us, and we can continue to do our job even though we’re not in school.” Kathy Cooper from Driffill Elementary School took information on the families, like how many meals they needed for the kids, and she relayed it to people handing out boxes. She works for the school district. “It was offered to us for about six weeks every Monday,” she said. “This is our last day today, but they may start it back up in August.” The district is not looking towards a traditional September return. “Hopefully, that will change, and people will help flatten out curve and get a handle on this,” she said. She too, loves seeing the kids and parents each Monday. “It breaks up the monotony at home,” she said. “I prefer working and meeting new people at this school. You can only do so many dog walks a day.”

NEWS TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED FOR TAMPERING WITH A CAR

entura-- On July 28, at approximately 3:30 a.m., the Ventura Police Department Command Center received a call about two suspects that were tampering with a car in the 1000 block of Santa Clara St. The suspects fled in a

vehicle before they finished stealing the catalytic converter, leaving the victim’s car damaged. Ventura Police Patrol officers located the suspect vehicle and pulled it over. Inside officers contacted the three suspects who had four stolen catalytic converters with them. Ve n t u ra Police

Street Crimes (SCU) detectives responded to assist in the investigation. Detectives were able to identify two additional victims in Ventura. One catalytic converter was stolen from Howard St and one from Evergreen Dr. The three suspects had tools, a cordless saw, and a car jack with them. There has been a dramatic increase in Ventura County in

this type of theft over the last six months. Though this type of crime is hard to protect against, some mechanics can modify your vehicle with aftermarket products that make it more difficult for criminals to steal car parts. All three suspects are from the Los Angeles area. They were arrested and transported to the Ventura County

Jail, where they were booked for attempted grand theft, felony vandalism, vehicle tampering, possession of stolen property, and conspiracy. This is an ongoing investigation. If anyone has information or was the victim of catalytic converter theft on July 27 and 28, please contact the Ventura Police Department Street Crimes Unit at 805-339-4389.

EXELOO Continued from page 1

Most city restrooms are built with cinder blocks, but they do have two prefabricated restrooms in service—two in the general fund and two in the assessment districts. The city has two full-time employees maintaining those restrooms who open, clean and stock them. The special district’s contract with City Corps that provides maintenance. Assistant Public Works Director Brian Yanez presented the item to the committee and said because of Covid-19, the city restrooms are closed. While researching this item, he said they looked into prefabricated and build -in-place facilities. Project Engineer Jim Nelson did the research. “He looked at the features and what fit the City of Oxnard best,” Yanez said. Prefabricated restrooms have a low cost and offer an easy installation. They don’t require detailed design plans or architectural drawings. “Due to the high cost of the build-in-place facilities, we did not look into them any further,” he said. “We stopped at prefabricated.” The Exeloo Jupiter restrooms have more features, he said, that will benefit the city in the long run. “They have automated sliding doors with time limits and are self-cleaning,” he said. “They have operational efficiencies and a three-inone washbasin. We as a staff said this would make a difference in our operational needs and our budget. If the city needs to relocate a prefabricated restroom, they can do that easier, whether that means in its current park or at a different park entirely. “The automated washdown system with disinfecting water spray after 30 uses is a good feature we like,” he said. “There is surface dry with high-pressure fans before the next user enters.” The electric door set, which locks the units at night, takes a large burden off the city staff. “These exeloo systems can be pre-functioned to open in the morning at a certain time and close at a certain time in the evening,” he said. “They are also programmable, so you can have a 10-minute occupancy to prevent unwanted activities.” With a 10-minute limit, the user will get warnings at eight and nine minutes and open at 10 minutes. The Exeloo meets the Ventura County Covid-19 protocol, so they can open during the pandemic. “That means daily cleaning and two other visits to wipe down the restrooms in high-frequency locations,” Yanez said. The restrooms have a three-inch connection from the toilet to the sewer, which eliminates some of the clogs. Installation is a separate cost and will be done on a project basis. “Right now, we have two projects in design,” he said. “There is one a Community Center East Park and Pleasant Valley Park,” he said. “We are waiting to purchase those restrooms.” During public comments, Pat Brown said the public restrooms in the city are in terrible condition. “They need the automatic feature for all of them, not just the new ones,” she said. “The new ones will

come once every three, four, or five years. You ought to go out and take a look at all the restrooms.” Committee Member Bryan MacDonald said he talked to Mr. Nelson about using them in Community Center Park, which is in his district, and, at first, he felt skeptical. “I look at the restroom we took out of Wilson Park, and we put in a restroom facility that I wasn’t real keen on it, to begin with,” he said. “After we put it in, I was less keen on it. I sat down with Mr. Nelson, looked at it, and he did his homework. By the time we walked away, I had thought this is probably the way we should be going. It’s phenomenal and has much less of a sticker shock compared to what we’ve been building over the years.” Committee Member Tim Flynn said it’s amazing to him the time the staff and Parks and Rec put into the item. “Restrooms in parks today are used for completely different reasons than the restrooms built 40-60 years ago,” he said. “We had a homeless problem 40 years ago. We had one guy who walked around, and I served at his funeral as an altar boy. It was rare that someone homeless was in the park using a restroom.” Today, he said park restrooms are different, as people bath in the sink and do other things. “Illicit activities can and do take place in the restrooms,” Flynn said. “There was a restroom at Plaza Park, and there were issues with that restroom.” He thinks the self-cleaning and locking restroom is a Godsend. “Councilman MacDonald and I get an email from the same person, and anytime the restroom is not locked at dusk, we get an automatic email,” he said. “The fact that these will lock themselves. Most importantly, Roger Pourier, chair of the Parks and Rec Committee, went down to see the restroom, used by the homeless in North Hollywood, said it didn’t smell. This is a win-win situation.” Chairman Bert Perello said he loves the item, but noted that anything one human could make, another human can destroy. The restroom is made in New Zealand, and he’s concerned about replacement parts if needed. “If someone is in the restroom taking care of business, and the door opens up, but don’t get out,” he said. “Then the door locks until the next day. How do we prevent that?” He also asked if the restrooms have wooden roofs because he worries about people with bad intentions burning them. Yanez said the restroom has a sensor, so it won’t lock until that person leaves. “I won’t say it won’t catch fire, but the material used is as flame retardant as possible,” he said. “We can program cleaning the restrooms after so many flushes. These units come with steel bowls, but we’re working with parks and rec to provide a porcelain lid. The sink will be low-cavity, so it hopefully eliminates the users using it as a laundromat.” The item moves to the full council for approval.

Her husband Mark came along with Deborah, and the two share their appreciation of the outdoors. “We get out of the house as much as we can,” he said. “The two of us do this pretty often.” He has no interest in getting wet and laughed a lot at the thought. “We wanted to get out in the cooler air,” he said. “It’s definitely cooler out here. It’s 20 degrees cooler here. We live in Simi Valley.” Mark understands the lack of events in the area. “We’ve all given up a lot,” he said. Denis Oratowski and Jill Torres brought their dogs Tucker and Hudson, ages 2 and 2.5, to the beach. Both dogs took the plunge and were happy and wet. “They cry when they see the beach,” Jill said. “They sense and smell the water, and they’re ready to go,” Denis added. Denis is grateful for the lifeguard on duty. “You can put them in without a problem,” he said. “They are the professionals.” Denis was not wet, and neither was Jill. “To me, the water was a little too cold,” he said. “It’s fun bringing the dogs and putting them in the water without a problem. We’re grateful for that.” Jill agreed that the water was too cold. She also had on an outfit that would not protect her from the weather. “It’s worth it for the dogs,” she said. “Anything for them.” She doesn’t like how Covid-19 has stopped a lot of events, but Jill keeps a positive attitude. “We’ll get past this,” she said. “I try to put this into perspective. We’re not at war, and I have food, shelter a job, and I’m healthy. I feel blessed.” Denis owns a bakery in Los Angeles, and Covid-19 has slowed him down. “We’re busy; however, there are no wedding cakes or big presentations because there are no big parties,” he said. “Everything is smaller these days, but we are busy, and we’ve got to move forward.” Moses Enriquez is heading into Sophomore year at St. Bonaventure High School, and he took the plunge into the cold water, and said it wasn’t cold at all. He’s been learning virtually on his iPad and said it’s easier than class. “The deadlines are way far back than the deadlines at school, because of that reason,” he said. He’s on the football team, and the season has been pushed back until December. “It affects my training schedule a little bit because we can’t practice as a team,” he said. “I have my own gym at home.” He’s been stuck at home for quite a while. “There’s not a lot to do outside,” he said. “I wasn’t worried about the weather today, and I was going to get in the water, no matter what the weather was going to be.” Jade De’La O got in the water despite the lousy weather and said she was freezing. “Moses pushed me in, but it was good,” Jade said. “I feel a lot better now. We were going to the beach, no matter what. We were coming to visit some family, so whatever we do, the beach is a good place to be.” Jade keeps optimistic through Covid-19 and tries to stay safe, distant, and clean. She attends Tehachapi High School and said she’s hopeful school will start in October. “We’re trying to make a lot of changes to see if we can come back soon,” she said. “I’m going to be a junior this year. I want to go to college and become a veterinarian.” Moses had no plans to douse his mother with cold beach water. “He’d die,” Mom Channell Enriquez said. “I’d get him back, but he’s already wet. I get him back at a later date. They came in from out of town, so we were coming (to the beach) no matter what.” She doesn’t mind having Moses home all the time. “He likes it, but you’ve got to be on top of him,” Channell said. “We have to be little micro managers to make sure they’re doing what they need to do every day. The kids these days are homebodies. They like to be on their phones, the internet, and playing games. They’re used to it, so it doesn’t bother them like it bothers our generation.”

Diego Cruz arrested by the Oxnard Police Oxnard-- During the week of July 18, 2020, the Oxnard Police Department Violent Crimes Unit began an investigation into a series of robberies of street vendors in the Southwinds Neighborhood. On July 22, 2020, investigators from the Violent Crimes Unit were conducting directed enforcement in the Southwinds Neighborhood about those robberies. At approximately 1 P.M., investigators observed what they believed was a robbery in progress to a street vendor near the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Charles Street. Investigators drove towards the incident to make contact with the involved parties; however, the suspect drove away in a vehicle. Investigators conducted an enforcement stop on the vehicle and contacted the lone occupant, who was identified as 26-year-old Oxnard resident Diego Cruz. While speaking with Cruz, additional investigators contacted the victim, who confirmed that Cruz was attempting to rob him. Cruz was arrested for four counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery. He was later booked into the Ventura County Jail on those charges. Anyone with any information regarding this crime or similar crimes is encouraged to contact Detective Jaime Miranda at 805385-7547.

Lessons Lessons from Geese: Standing by each other in difficult times By Marian Wright Edelman

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we human beings had as much sense of community as geese? During an Outward Bound experience in Maine, participants read these lessons we humans can learn from geese that bear repeating, considering and sharing in these trying times. FACT 1: As each goose flaps its wings it creates an “uplift” for the birds that follow. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew alone. Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another. FACT 2: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it. Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others. FACT 3: When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position.

Lesson: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other’s skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources. FACT 4: The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. Lesson: We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one’s heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek. FACT 5: When a goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock. Lesson: If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

“Lessons from Geese” was transcribed from a speech by Angeles Arrien at the 1991 Organizational Development Network. It was based on the work of Milton Olson and shared with Outward Bound alumni.

Maritime Museum features online Speaker Series

Oxnard -- Interesting and captivating speakers are usually scheduled every third Wednesday at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, 3900 Bluefin Circle, Oxnard. But due to Covid-19 the series has gone online. The next speaker is scheduled for August 19 - Steve Lund - “Japanese Submarines Attack America’s West Coast During WWII,” at 7:00 PM. Synopsis: Most Central Coast residents

are aware of the Japanese shelling of Goleta shortly after the outbreak of World War II. But few are aware of the submarine-borne campaign that involved attacks on ships along the coast and bombing forests in Oregon to spread panic and the opening weeks of the war. The panic the attacks cause resulted in the famous “Battle of Los Angeles” and the internment of 110,000 Japanese American citizens.

Veterans turning more toward

teleheath in VA care WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)— Walk-in health care options remain for veterans, but they’re the path far less traveled as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. There’s been a seismic shift from offices toward telehealth— video to home services—at the Wilmington VA Medical Center (WVAMC) and across the nation, officials say. From Oct. 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, virtual visits in Wilmington through VA Video Connect skyrocketed 922.26% from the same previous 12-month time frame, rising from 844 appointments to 8,403. “Although we initially limited visits and procedures to essential care (when the coronavirus arrived), we performed an unprecedented number of telehealth/virtual care visits,” WVAMC Chief of Staff Dr. George Tzanis, MD, said. U.S. Army veteran David Smyth, who served as a police officer before receiving an honorable discharge in 1993, joins his doctor weekly on a video conference, and prefers not to navigate the smallish VA parking lot any time soon. “If it’s OK with my doctor I don’t feel the need to meet in person for now,” the Hockessin resident said Thursday. And regarding the burgeoning surge to telehealth services, M r . Smyth s a i d , “They’re really on top of it. “The Wilming-

ton VA before COVID made it very clear they cared a lot about veterans and nothing about that has changed. “In fact, in some ways, they are trying even harder.” The medical center’s emergency department, inpatient care and Community Living Center have remained open as well. Ultimately, physicians and treatment teams have discretion on needed faceto-face interactions, officials said. Also, “We use home blood pressure monitoring, thermometers, scales and oximeters to help do some things, but any examination that relies on touch or a diagnostic testing or involves significant risk should be done in person,” Dr. Tzanis said. While staff training has been needed for technological operations, Mr. Kane said, “We were prepared for this prior to the pandemic because we routinely rely on telehealth during inclement weather. More than 90% of staff had done virtual care in most clinical areas. We allowed staff to work from home, which was new, but everything else was an established crisis response.” Through telehealth, according to Mr. Kane, the capacity to address a higher volume of cases has evolved. “This has been a better economical use of time for veterans and our facilities as veterans can get care from the comfort of their homes, and we can see more patients,” he said.

Breakfast Tacos

I love tacos. I love them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Heck, they are even great for a quick snack. Tacos are a tried-and-true meal and will satisfy you rain or shine, or any day that ends in Y.

f you want to get your day off to a great start, there are few options as good as a Breakfast Taco. I make mine different ways depending on what I have in the fridge. On this particular day I had leftover pinto beans that I had made from scratch the day before. I paired them with a scrambled egg and cheese, finished off with Pico de Gallo and pickled red cabbage. I will walk you through it all. Let me show you how I made these breakfast tacos! Ingredients for Pinto Beans • 1 Cup Dry Pinto Beans • 1 Jalapeño Diced • ½ Red Bell Pepper Chopped • ½ White Onion Chopped • 1 Tbsp Salt • Water

Ingredients for Pickled Cabbage • ½ Head of Red Cabbage sliced thinly

• ¼ cup of White Wine Vinegar • ¼ cup of Rice Vinegar • ½ cup of Cilantro Chopped • 1 Tsp Salt Ingredients for Tacos • Corn Tortillas • Egg • Vegetable or Canola Oil for the tortillas • Shredded Cheese

To Cook the Pinto Beans Combine all the ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan with water to about 2 inches above the top of the beans. Simmer for about 3.5 hours. The water will get absorbed in the beans pretty quickly so always make sure there is enough water in the pan. The beans are done when they turn soft and the water turns into a thicker starchy paste like liquid. To Make the Cabbage Thinly slice the cabbage and place in a bowl. Add the vinegar, cilantro, and salt and mix together. Eat now or store in your fridge. Will last for weeks. To Make the Tacos In a medium hot frying pan, add pinto beans and smash with the backside of a wooden spoon. Push to one side and layer cheese on top. In the same pan crack 1 egg per taco and pan scramble. In a separate pan, dip tortillas in a little oil and heat them until soft and warm all the way through. Assemble the beans and cheese and egg in a tortilla and top with Pico de Gallo (see last week’s column) and pickled cabbage. There you have it. Arguably the world’s best breakfast.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 2020

NEWS SEAWALL

Continued from page 1

rector Rosemarie Gaglione said. “There are sulfates in seawater. Unless you are using specialized concrete, the sulfates react with the concrete. The other is that the aggregate that was used reacted with the concrete. Unfortunately, many structures, including bridges, were built in the 1960s and used reactive aggregate. They have since been replaced.” The Mandalay Bay Water Assessment District got formed in June 1970 via resolution to fund maintenance and landscaping. Residents in Mandalay Bay pay the maximum assessment without a CPI (Consumer Price Index) escalator. The city can’t increase assessments within the district because of Proposition 218, passed in 1996 without a majority vote and protest procedures. “We can’t add new items and increase the cost without a new vote,” she said. The city has made hundreds of repairs to the seawalls over the years and removed degraded concrete, weep holes, and jacketed concrete pilasters. As the city heads into a recession, Gaglione said the economies of building might become favorable. Funds for the project will not be approved until the capital improvement project gets approved, and the Mandalay Bay residents vote in a CFD. The city general fund identifies the method to pay for the obligation. Channel Islands Waterfront Homeowners Association Vice President Debbie Mitchell spoke on behalf of the 743 homeowners in Mandalay Bay, which is also known as Special District Waterways 1, which accumulates approximately $500,000 of revenue each year. “It must cover water quality, landscaping, and landscaping, in addition to dredging, which is important to water quality and boating, seawall repairs and maintenance,” she said. “Seawall repairs and maintenance is the only part of our Waterways District 1 this CFD impacts. Every year, our budget gets approved with no comment on its inability to meet the needs. It has not been increased since 1993.” The Homeowners Association Seawall Team has been meeting with the city with no resolution for decades, she said, and the infrastructure ages and known expenses increase. “Much of Oxnard considers us the rich people at the beach who should stop whining and pay for our own seawalls,” she said. “The problem is the city owns the seawalls, and our assessment district was established to pay for repairs and maintenance. In fact, we cannot touch the seawalls.” HOA members have requested an increase in the assessment

for years, she said, and some have moved away and passed on without satisfaction. “Others have given up, while others continue to press for a resolution,” she said. The CFD will get voted on by residents instead of property owners, she said, who will incur the cost. “At one point, the city went to court to prove its ownership of the seawalls and dedicated the channels and streets under Mayor Lopez,” Mitchell said. “We all hear consistent complaints about the condition of the streets and the need for them to be addressed. Residents want the city to fix the streets, and there are homeowners who feel strongly that the city owns the seawalls and should be responsible for them.” Sewalls are a “huge capital investment project,” and she said delays increased the investment required and the timeline for need. “There are many homeowners who fully appreciate that the city is incapable of footing the expense of the needed work on the seawalls, and neither are we,” she said. “With that in mind, the city should take responsibility for ignoring decades of doing nothing about addressing the problem and approach the homeowners with a plan for partnership.” The CFD will only cover seawall repairs and replacement. The plan would be determined and directed by public works. Many of the funds in Mandalay Bay went towards studies, she said, and the significant staff turnover has led to delays and steps backward. Mitchell suggests that her group does not establish a CFD, which can take over a year or longer to create. If the seawalls fail, she said the consequences can be direr than a pothole. During public comments, Carol Taylor told the committee that the city would show good faith not to tie the commitment to the formation of a CFD. “At this stage, there is no way to know whether a new CFD or potentially increasing the existing waterways assessment district is a better mechanism,” she said. “The city has complete control and power over the process and delays the formation of a new CFD indefinitely. At this point, there is so much that we don’t know, and with the city ceasing communications, how can we know?” Without the city’s commitment and involvement, she said the group is not prepared to move forward with a CFD. During committee comments, Mayor Tim Flynn said there is an irony in the situation, and during the 10 plus years he’s been working with the Mandalay Bay Homeowners Association on the seawall problem, the city did not commit to a 50 percent portion of the funding for replacing and repairing the seawalls.

“Here we are for the first time since I served on the city council, and there is a formal resolution for the city to be on the hook for 50 percent,” he said. “That’s an enormous accomplishment.” He told the group that he’s worked with a lot of different people, and there was a consensus that the city should be on the hook for 50 percent. “I attended every one of those HOA meetings where that topic has been brought up,” he said. “They said, look, mayor, where’s our 50 percent? Here we now have 50 percent in the context of a resolution, but there are some issues.” One issue, Flynn said, is forming a CFD while the second issue is city control. “This is a tightrope act on the part of the city because when I heard from the residents who spoke, they said they got information yesterday, July 27, and there’s supposed to be a public meeting,” he said. “I’ve been privy to this information as time has gone on and made inquiries and haven’t let this go. I’ve tried to guide this to the point of where we are, right now.” He feels closer to agreeing on the issue than ever before. He asked Gaglione about committing to 50 percent, but not to the funding mechanism, and he wanted to know what the disadvantage would be if they went in that direction. He reminded everyone the entire council makes the decision on

the matter, and Flynn predicated a significant public process. City Manager Alex Nguyen said the committee system is a useful function for the item so that they can vett the issue in detail. “It informs the community and the staff,” he said. When it comes to communication, he said the city is still screwing up when it comes to communicating with the public. “We’re not doing a good job, and I am highly disappointed,” he said. “Having said that, we are not stonewalling at all. We are making efforts, and not to make excuses, but in the last six months, we’ve been busy with a different crisis. It is unacceptable that we’ve had this report, and it wasn’t pushed out to the public. I have to take responsibility for that.” He appreciates the community’s frustration about the problem and noted that the city had not made a policy decision about the issue. “It’s all been happening at the staff and community level,” he said. “It’s important, but until there is policy direction, nothing is real.” His other observation is the back-and-forth debate about engineering, which he acknowledged is important. “It’s also important that at a certain point, we take the best information that we can,” he said. “Going back and looking at the initial cost and the current projected cost, it’s pretty significant when you have one report that takes into no

Public Works Director Rosemarie Gaglione. (File photo by Chris Frost) account the seismic stability. That’s important.” He feels the CFD is a step in the right direction and said his predecessor made verbal commitments that split the cost. “I heard it from so many people, including city staff, I have to believe those commitments were made,” Nguyen said. “Without a policy commitment from the council, that commitment isn’t worth anything.” He called it a chicken-and-egg situation because Mandalay Bay didn’t want to commit without the city offering 50 percent funding, followed by the same group saying they don’t want a commitment. “It’s important to get a policy direction from the council so that we can make this commitment formally,” he said. “We can do that without making it dependent on a CFD formation. The reality is there is going to have to be a CFD formation to get the bond to pay for this macro policy picture.” This story will continue on Aug. 7.
