TTENDEES at Pleasant Valley enjoyed free ice cream and got the chance to meet people and catch up on all things happening in the city. National Night Out is an annual communitybuilding event that promotes partnerships between the police

and area residents and camaraderie within neighborhoods across America. Pleasant Valley Estates Chairperson Rosanna Biggerstaff said this is the second time the neighborhood participated in National Night Out. “This is so all the neighbors can come out and meet each other,” she said. “We put all the street names on our neighbor’s name tag, so you might come out and meet someone you already might have seen pass by.” Some people recently

Oxnard—It was a great day at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, Aug. 4, as the Fifth Annual Chowderfest brought out a massive crowd of people all set to enjoy the day and savor the best chowder in Ventura County. Ticket holders also got to visit the museum and see the many programs that make it a treasure in the community. The event featured about 150 volunteers, including committee members who are responsible for getting the restaurants and wineries to participate and bring their food. Trustee Michelle Murphy said the event started as a small little get together. "The Chowderfest was a concept brought to us by the local yacht clubs, and the people who brought it to us were the retired commodores," she said. "They wanted to help out the museum and came up with the concept. We put together the committee five years ago, and some of the yacht club members sit on the committee." The event took off, and it continues to grow each year. "This year, we've added games, a photo booth and spin the wheel for prizes," she said. "It consistently brings people into the museum who have never been here before. The one thing we hear is they had no idea this museum is here, and it's incredible." The money they raise is not restricted, Murphy said, so it can be used for anything the museum wants to offer. "We have a navigation exhibit which is in the works, so some of the money might go to it," she said. "It might go to some of our temporary exhibits and keeping the lights on and the staff paid." The museum has an education program called "Every Fifth Grader on the Water," which is open to the kids in school. "Every fifth grader in public school in Oxnard comes in here, and they have a half-day education program," she said. "They learn about the Chumash Indians; they learn about the Port of Hueneme and life as a sailor." The kids also learn about the art collection at the museum, and the program culminates with a boat trip. "It’s a marine biology boat where they can see the animals living in the harbor," she said. Murphy enjoys the Chowderfest. n Maritime Museum, see page 2

Planning Commission sends short term rental ordinance to the City Council. By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—Residents from Oxnard Shores and The Colony packed the Aug. 1 planning commission meeting, ready to express concerns about the short-term rental (STR) ordinance heading to the council in Sept. Short-term rentals are currently not regulated in the City of Oxnard. The affected areas have mobilized and are taking action to make sure their voices are heard. After extensive public comments and plenty of questions from the commissioners, the group advised

NEWS Andrade charged with multiple crimes

AMENDMENT NOTICE OF TREATMENT FOR THE ASIAN CITRUS PSYLLID Between August 14, 2018 to June 12, 2019, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) confirmed the presence of Asian citrus psyllids (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, harmful exotic pests, in Ventura County. This detection indicates that a breeding population exists in the area. The devastating citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB) is spread by the feeding action of ACP. The ACP infestation is sufficiently isolated and localized to be amenable to the CDFA’s ACP treatment work plan. A Program Environ­

mental Impact Report (PEIR) has been certified which analyzes the ACP treatment program in accordance with Public Resources Code, Sections 21000 et seq. The PEIR is available at http://www. cdfa.ca.gov/plant/peir/. The treatment activities described below are consistent with the PEIR. In accordance with integrated pest management principles, CDFA has evaluated possible treatment methods and determined that there are no physical, cultural, or biological control methods available n Amendment, see page 3

Oxnard-- On Aug. 3, between 3:45 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., multiple callers reported a subject was slashing tires in the 400 block of N. Juanita Avenue. On each occasion, the suspect fled the scene before the officers arrived. The suspect was described as driving a green Jeep Grand Cherokee. At around 6:27 p.m., officers were dispatched to a call of a subject in a green Jeep Grand Cherokee threatening the reporting party. While officers were searching the neighborhood for the suspect, they detained Juan Manuel Andrade in the 100 block on N. Harrison Avenue. During the investigation, multiple

victims positively identified Andrade. One of the victims was a

street vendor who reported Andrade had been following the vendor around the Colonia Neighborhood in an intimidating manner. He repeatedly threatened the vendor by saying that he was from a specific gang, and the vendor would need to pay the suspect “taxes” if the vendor wanted to continue selling in the neighborhood. Witnesses also reported the suspect approached several other yet to be identified victims and brandished a knife at them as well. Police believe other victims have yet to come forward. Andrade was arrested for felony vandalism; felony attempted extortion, child endangerment, and resisting arrest. Andrade physically resisted arrest as officers went

to put him into handcuffs. Andrade has an extensive criminal history from Kern County and Ventura County, including crimes of violence, criminal threats, and vandalism. Anyone with information regarding this case or other criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at 805-385-7600, or online via the Oxnard Police Department’s website: www. oxnardpd.org, and clicking on Report Suspicious Activity.

"It's a thrill to get so many people out to the museum and see what a success it is," she said. "It's a labor of love." Museum Curator Heather Behrens said the museum expects around 2,000 people to come by and experience the chowder and all the things available at the venue. "The money we raise today goes to the special programs we have at the museum, like our speaker series and the different events that we put on," she said. Behrens loves seeing all the happy faces at the Chowderfest and enjoys the band Kelly's Lot, which is fun. "Kelly's Lot comes every year," Behrens said. Becoming a member of the

Maritime Museum is a simple investment, she said, that pays plenty of dividends. "As an individual, for $50, you get to visit the museum with a guest any time we're open," she said. "There are unlimited admissions, and you get to attend the speaker series for free. Our speaker series costs between $5 and $7 if you are a senior citizen or adult non-member." The event raised over $30,000 in 2018 and was on pace to beat that amount in 2019. "It's growing every year," Behrens said.

OFFEE and treats were the first order of business, as everyone was welcome to relax, enjoy some classic automobiles, catch up with their neighbor, and make new friends. Art Walk Organizer David Gardner said there are almost double the number of submissions for the 2019 show. “We were in the mid-20s last year, and we are at 43 right now,” he said. “There has been a good response, and the quality of the product gets better each year.” The event is scheduled for Aug. 24, and he admitted that water blisters are forming on his hands because he is getting nervous. “What you see here today (neighbors interacting with neighbors) is what happens during the art walk, but on a bigger scale,” Gardner said. “It excites me when we get neighbors out talking with each other that don’t normally talk to each other. We have a good time out here at Oxnard Shores.” Local artisans will be selling products, he said, and the products featured will include jewelry, custom clothes, and items from artists and poets. “It’s expanding because the term art is all-encompassing,” he said. “We want to encourage all of it.” Karen Brooks brought her labradoodle “Watson” to the event. The best part about this is a bunch of neighbors getting together and having some fun,” she said. “This is not associated with the city or any organization. It’s a neighborhood happening that is spontaneous.” Her car, a 1972 Porsche 914, is in pieces in the garage, she said, and her

husband Dave Brooks said the fourcylinder car is stripped and painted champagne yellow. “It’s waiting for a few more details on the body, and then it comes back to the garage for assembly,” Dave said. “This is a hobby.” He called the car the “ugly stepchild” of Porsche that is underrated. “It’s a fabulous driver with a midengine, and rides like a go-kart,” he said. “It is fun to drive and not common. It was only in production from 1969 until 1976 when they let it go. It was supposed to be an entrylevel Porsche.” He hopes to have the car ready around Aug. 2020 and said he started working on the car in 1983. “It’s a long-term project,” he said. “Don’t give up your day job.”

Groundwater Sustainability Plan Workshop affects Oxnard By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency will hold a workshop on how to make groundwater pumping more efficient Aug. 21, at 6 p.m. at the Ventura County Administration Building in the Board of Supervisors Hearing Room. The building is at 800 S. Victoria Avenue in Ventura. According to state law, the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (GMA) needs to adopt a groundwater sustainability plan by the end of the calendar year. The Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency began in 1982 and preserves and manages groundwater resources. Deputy City Manager Shiri Klima presented the item to the council and said everyone in the county is overpumping their groundwater basin, which is the Oxnard Basin. “By the year 2040, we all must ramp down our pumping significantly,” she said. “This plan is for how to ramp down all the pumpers’ groundwater usage.” She reminded the crowd that the City of Oxnard is the largest pumper in the basin and is also the largest city in the basin. “This plan is important to our future and our water use for the next 20 years,” she said. “It’s important for our development, and it’s also important for our current use and our kids’ future use. We encourage you to attend the public meeting.”

Deputy City Manager Shiri Klima.

She reported about the groundwater management plan in Jan. and told everyone that by 2040, all the groundwater pumped would need to be decreased by almost half. “In the year 2020, whatever we start at is 100 percent, and we are going to have to decrease it by 2040 to 60 percent,” Klima said. “The latest plan reduces that amount further, up to an additional 20 percent. We’re talking about an additional 20 percent reduction in the amount of total water that is going to allowed to be pumped. That is a huge decrease in how much water we will be allowed to pump. The less groundwater the

city can pump, the more water the city must buy, which is expensive.” The plan affects the city’s fees it pays into the Fox Canyon GMA, she said, which impacts agricultural jobs and water rates for city residents. Councilman Bert Perello pulled out three bottles full of water and demonstrated how much less water the city will have. “How much is the City of Oxnard willing to pay for that bottle of water,” he asked. “We all need to decide that. If residents from the City of Oxnard pay no attention, then somebody else will decide for you. If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”

is pleased the police and fire departments came out for the event. “We had a lot of homemade treats that our neighbors brought, and we are asking for small donations to help us with the garden club that we have on the walkways,” she said. The Oxnard Fire Department Ready and Resilient team were also at the event, and leader Kim Winch wants to make sure that every neighborhood is self-sufficient. “Every neighbor and neighborhood need to be selfsufficient for 5-7 days,” she said. “You need to know who your neighbors are and make sure you have enough water in your house for 5-7 days. You, your family, and all your neighbors need to sign up for VC Alert, which is where you are going to get your news. Not

good news, but bad news, whether you need shelter or whether you need to hike it out of there because a tsunami is coming.” The ready and resilient team came because of neighborhood chairwoman Julie Pena, who was invited to participate in Fire Chief Darwin Base’s liaison team. “There are 42 active neighborhoods in Oxnard, and we are inviting one person from each neighborhood in Oxnard,” Winch said. “In those meetings, we will talk about the specific needs and positives in their neighborhood, and how to prepare. Some live on the shores who need to prepare for a tsunami. The people who live near the railroad station need to be aware of train derailments and toxic fumes.”

to eliminate the ACP from this area. Notice of Treatment is valid until June 12, 2020, which is the amount of time necessary to determine that the treatment was successful. The treatment plan for the ACP infestation will be implemented within a 400-meter radius of each detection site, as follows: • Tempo® SC Ultra (cyfluthrin), a contact insecticide for controlling the adults and nymphs of ACP, will be applied from the ground using hydraulic spray equipment to the foliage of host plants; and • Merit® 2F or CoreTectTM (imidacloprid), a systemic insecticide for controlling the immature life stages of ACP, will be applied to the soil underneath host plants. Merit® 2F is applied from the ground using hydraulic spray equipment. CoreTectTM, which is used in place of Merit® 2F in situations where there are environmental concerns about soil surface runoff of liquid Merit® 2F, is applied by inserting the tablets into the ground and watering the soil beneath the host plants. Public Notification: Residents of affected properties shall be invited to a public meeting where officials from CDFA, the Department of Pesticide Regulation, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard

Assessment, and the county agricultural commissioner’s office shall be available to address residents’ questions and concerns. Residents are notified in writing at least 48 hours in advance of any treatment in accordance with the Food and Agricultural Code sections 57715779 and 5421-5436. Following the treatment, completion notices are left with the residents detailing precautions to take and postharvest intervals applicable to the citrus fruit on the property. Treatment information is posted at http://cdfa.ca.gov/plant/ acp/treatment_maps.html. Press releases, if issued, are prepared by the CDFA information officer and the county agricultural commissioner, in close coordination with the program leader responsible for treatment. Either the county agricultural commissioner or the public information officer serves as the primary contact to the media. Information concerning the ACP/HLB program shall be conveyed directly to local and State political representatives and authorities via letters, emails, and/or faxes. For any questions related to this program, please contact the CDFA toll-free telephone number at 800-491-1899 for assistance. This telephone number is also listed on all treatment notices.

OPED Massacres in El Paso, Dayton underscore that political violence right or left is never the answer By Robert Romano After a bloody weekend that saw 29 killed in mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, the nation must once again face and confront the scourge of political violence and terrorism that is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society on the extreme ends of the political spectrum, right and left. An anti-immigrant manifesto that has been linked to the shooter in El Paso who supported President Donald Trump praised the Christchurch mosque shooting in New Zealand in March and the racist manifesto the shooter left behind there. The El Paso manifesto speaks against mass immigration and corporations, Democrats and Republicans that support it, supports automation of jobs to replace low-skilled immigrants and laments low fertility of whites, urban sprawl, destruction of the environment (it even speaks favorably of “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss), a lack of recycling and in favor of universal health care and universal basic income. Similar themes recur in both manifestos, a mish-mash of political, economic and racial ideas from the right and left that tragically ended in violence. The Dayton shooter on the other hand who was shot dead by police a self-proclaimed leftist and Satanist on his Twitter page who supported Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) who had previously spoke against mass shootings such as Parkland, and who on the anniversary of violence in Charlottlesville, Va. wrote, “Kill every fascist.” He had shared posts about “concentration camps” on the border and wrote, “Cut the fences down. Slice ICE tires. Throw bolt cutters over the fences.” He called the he Antifa firebomber who targeted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Tacoma, Wash. a “martyr.” The violence and the varied motivations for it demonstrate that violence is never the answer, and

whether it comes from the right or left, we must stand united against it as a nation — before it is too late. We have a civil society and can safely debate the pros and cons of issues like immigration or declining fertility generally regardless of race without ever resorting to violence and murdering our perceived political opponents. Now, some would hope to politicize these tragedies but they are wrong. We’re not going to stop having discussions about immigration or preserving the environment in light of it. Should we ban “The Lorax,” too? It’s silly. In this column over these past years, I and my colleagues at Americans for Limited Government have repeatedly spoken out and denounced acts of political violence, right or left, regardless of their motives, and against rhetoric that actively promotes such violence, as all being antithetical to our civil society. We have condemned radical and racist violence alike in Charlottesville, Va. that led to a murder, by the gunman that shot up the Republican Congressional baseball practice in 2017 who was shot dead on the scene, by the Utah man who sent

ricin in the mail to President Donald Trump, military and intelligence officials, by the nut that sent pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and media organizations, by the anti-Semitic shooter who murdered 11 at the Pittsburgh synagogue and the left-wing firebomber in Tacoma, Wash. who was shot dead by police. We have blasted dehumanizing rhetoric that falsely singles out Republicans or Trump supporters as Nazis, media that portrayed the assassination and decapitation of President Trump and rhetoric by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) that wrongly compared the U.S. Border Patrol, ICE and federal law enforcement detaining illegal immigrants to Nazis running concentration camps that murdered millions in World War II. I do think that as thought leaders we need to carefully consider our rhetoric and speak in unison whenever these attacks happen. So, for example, if you compare ICE and the Border Patrol to the Gestapo and compare apprehending illegal aliens to the Holocaust, and then a few weeks later somebody is blowing up and ICE facility or engaged in a mass shooting utilizing the same rhetoric, you should denounce it. Ocasio-Cortez never

did. On Aug. 4, her Twitter page was full of justified denunciation of the attack’s motivations in El Paso as white supremacist, but not in Dayton by another Antifa attacker who shared her “concentration camps” comparison. But aren’t white supremacy and violent revolutionary leftist ideology that views all of its political opponents as fascists and Nazis both wrong and worthy of condemnation? Similarly, Democratic candidates for President today have yet to denounce the Dayton shooter’s proAntifa, radical leftism. It’s not that hard. Allow me to be clear. I do not think Ocasio-Cortez condones political violence from the left or supports it — although she ought to clarify her position — but one of the barriers to stopping political violence today is a failure by leaders on both sides of the aisle to lock arms and deplore violence and radical ideology when it comes from their own side of the political spectrum. When a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shot up the Congressional baseball practice, Sanders immediately denounced it. Similarly, upon the attack in El Paso, President Trump declared, “I know that I stand with everyone in this

Country to condemn today’s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people.” That’s what real leaders do. It is up to every one of us to preserve the civil society, our deliberative system of government. If you believe in America, do not call advocate violence against your political opponents. We must stand united against political violence and political radicalism, regardless of its source. Extremists would like nothing more than for everyone to align into their “camps.” These factions will be the end of us. Freedom from political violence is the only thing that keeps us from the dysfunctions and disorders that brought an end to the Roman Republic and every other great society that once existed. So, let’s work on it together as one country, one nation. We can have civil disagreements and declare with one voice that we reject violence to advance political objectives. We unite on this question, or civil society fails. Let us all denounce this national sickness before it consumes us all. Robert Romano is the Vice President of Public Policy at Americans for Limited Government.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019

OPED Thank you, MaryLee Allen By Marian Wright Edelman MaryLee Allen was a brilliant, passionate, persevering, caring servant leader—not a self-serving leader—committed to helping build a world fit for children. When the Children’s Defense Fund was brand new, I was searching for smart, passionate people to help with our earliest work. One of the very first ones I found was MaryLee. Immediately after graduating from Marquette University with her degree in sociology MaryLee had come to Washington, D.C. to join the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, where she prepared research for lawsuits on school desegregation and discrimination in employment and jury selection, and received a special commendation for her work on Alabama school desegregation efforts. Since then she’d continued working as a policy and law researcher, and she joined us to work on CDF’s first-ever policy report, Children Out of School in America. Soon after that she went on to earn her master’s degree in social work from Catholic University but as soon as her graduate studies were done I called again, asking her to work with CDF for just a month while she waited to hear about her next job. Forty-two years later, she was still here. As anyone familiar with CDF’s work knows, for more than four decades MaryLee’s heart, soul, and political and policy expertise have been behind some of the most enduring and successful efforts to help America’s children and families. MaryLee Allen, CDF’s longestserving staff member and the anchor of our policy work, passed away peacefully at home on June 13 a few short weeks after a diagnosis of advanced stage cancer. The entire CDF family and child advocacy community are sending all of our love and prayers to her son, Sean, her sister, Barbara, and the rest of her family. We are also celebrating her extraordinary legacy and impact and saying thank you. Along with CDF’s late Director of Research Paul Smith, MaryLee was the co-creator of CDF as we know it.

She will live on and on through the millions of children whose lives she touched and improved, especially some of our most vulnerable ones in the child welfare system. She also lives on in all the young (and not-so-young) current and former CDF staff who she trained by her example, in her meticulous work and publications and in her mentoring and outreach to the other child welfare and child advocacy networks she nurtured. She taught us that children do not come in pieces. She was a forger of laws, regulations and practices that will continue to endure as beacons of hope and protection for generations to come and guide those seeking to serve the most vulnerable families and children and families in our nation. For that very first CDF report one of the colleagues MaryLee worked alongside was a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham—later First Lady

and Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton. Together they knocked on doors to gather data on why schoolage children were at home and not in school. Children Out of School in America became a major catalyst for the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (now the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA) and was the first of many major policy victories MaryLee helped achieve. For most of her professional life MaryLee took a lead role in shaping CDF’s advocacy for children’s welfare, health and safety, and from IDEA to the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act to the recent landmark Family First Prevention Services Act it is not an exaggeration to say every federal child welfare law enacted in the past four decades has been influenced by MaryLee and her unwavering commitment to improving the lives of children. Just as important to her as the

work itself was building the next generation of advocates and leaders and bringing new voices to the table to broaden the perspectives and impact of our collective work

For that very first CDF report one of the colleagues MaryLee worked alongside was a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham to improve outcomes for children. MaryLee was a strong believer that major policy reforms couldn’t be accomplished without a groundswell of support and advocacy from different stakeholders and partners at the national, state and local levels.

She drafted, edited, and consulted, she testified before Congress more times than anyone can count, and colleagues inside and outside of CDF depended on her wise counsel for their policy decisions and campaigns. But beyond all of her expertise, we depended on her leadership as a person. She was the consummate servant leader; as one of her policy team members put it, “she showed her leadership by helping others learn to lead.” Her former interns, staff, and colleagues have gone on to lead organizations at the state and national levels and are just one more way her fingerprints are left on our nation’s work for children. She was known for her unfailing kindness, calm steadfastness, grace, and her attention to other people’s needs. She never failed to ask about a child’s graduation or a sick parent. Her enduring example was in encouraging and reminding all of us always to keep moving forward. In the words of one of her favorite signoffs: Go! Go! Go! Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about MaryLee Allen’s life is that it exemplifies how one person can make a difference and leave the world better than they found it in profound and enduring ways. Millions of children and families have benefitted from this one woman’s passion to make change and create an equal opportunity for every child to succeed in America. Their futures are brighter because MaryLee Allen lived. Following her example, all of us will strive every day to be as effective, as careful, and as committed to the most vulnerable children as MaryLee was. Her spirit, servant leadership, work ethic, and unwavering commitment to ensuring a chance for every child to fulfill their Godgiven potential through the highest quality work will live on and on. We will miss her beyond measure, but we will honor her by carrying on as she taught us. Thank you, MaryLee. Marian Wright Edelman is President Emeritus of the Children's Defense Fund.

And then, there it was Dr. James L. Snyder It is not that I do not like to travel; I just don’t like to leave home. I am quite comfortable at home where I have everything I need within easy reach. Sometimes I have to travel to a conference or something, which is rather inconvenient for me. However, as my friend used to say, “That’s life.” According to my calculations, I would have to travel 13 hours to get to my destination. I pondered for a long time whether it was worth it or not. Then the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage said, “Go ahead. You need a break.” What she meant by “a break,” was far from my comprehension at the time. I guess she needed a break from me, which is my personal opinion. However, taking her advice I packed my bags and prepared for my trip on the road. Early the next morning I loaded my vehicle and set out on my trip. I must say that driving by yourself and being alone does have its advantages. After the first hour or so, I lost track of what those advantages really were. Talking to myself is the most boring conversation I could ever have. I got to my conference on schedule and moved into my hotel room. I had a few hours before the conference started so I was able to stretch out on the bed and relax. Then I got up and went to the conference. For the next few days, I spent going to the conference and coming back to my hotel room. I

will confess, if you promise not to tell anyone, I did have a good time and some wonderful fellowship. The time came for me to pack up, get on the road again and go home. After packing my vehicle, I stood for a moment and sighed very deeply. Being as weary as I was, I was not looking

forward to the long travel home. In one of the towns I passed through, they had several signs. Normally I do not pay much attention to signs, but in this case, I was a little curious. After all, I was bored. In the middle of this little town was a big sign that said “Watch the Children.” I pulled over, parked my vehicle, rolled down the window and for the next 30 minutes I looked for the children. No children were around so how

could I actually watch the children if there were no children? After all, there was a sign instructing me to watch the children. Finally, after finding no children to watch, I decided to get back in the saddle again and continue home. A few blocks later, I saw another sign, “Thrift Store in Rear.” I did not even look! Nobody is going to trick

m e with that! I do fall for many things, but I do have my limit. Hour past after hour and I was getting weary, I stopped at a few places to get something to eat. Nothing really appealed to my sagging appetite. Eating on the road can be a boring kind of activity. Of course, I went to the cheapest restaurants I could find, which may explain that. After a while, one sandwich tastes like another sandwich and my tongue falls asleep. Driving through one town, I

realized I was in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. Therefore, with that in mind, I decided to stop at a good old time country restaurant. No better place for good food. I sat down, looked at the menu and for once in my trip, I saw some things that attracted my appetite. Ordering a v e r y nice

lunch encouraged me a little bit, although I was still a little down and had a long way to go. I was weary in body and soul. Finishing my meal, the waitress came by and ask, “Sir, would you like some dessert?” Then she handed me the dessert menu. At the time, I was not hungry. I took the menu opened it up, and then, there it was. All the hardships and boredom of my trip had come to a complete end. I could not believe what I was seeing

on that dessert menu. I could not remember how long it was since I had one of those desserts. But there it was! A slice of old-fashioned Amish shoofly pie. That got my heart thumping! There is no dessert quite like Amish shoofly pie. Whoever invented the shoofly pie should get the Nobel Peace Prize. I know of no peace quite like a piece of shoofly pie. “Have you decided on your dessert?” I looked at the waitress and smiled like I had not smiled all week. “I will have,” I said as dignified as I could, “a piece of your shoofly pie.” “Good choice, Sir.” And boy, was it a good choice! I savored every bite of that shoofly pie. It made the rest of the trip a delicious delight. Thinking of that pie was the great delight for the rest of my travel. I understood David when he wrote, “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalm 37:4). Oftentimes I get so busy that all I can think about is the task before me. I am learning that in the midst of the busiest of tasks I can experience a wonderful delight in the Lord. Dr. James L.

NEWS Valley Park continued from page 1

Rosanna enlisted the help of her husband Lloyd at the signin table, and he was writing people’s names down and what street they lived on. “We have neighborhood cleanups that happen once or twice a year, and we have our meetings that happen three or four times each year,” she said. She did not plan to set any records with her ice cream intake. “I’m already done, and I had to eat some of my granddaughter’s ice cream,” she said. “This is awesome to see some faces that I haven’t seen before.” Lloyd Biggerstaff was working on the nametags while

trying to familiarize himself with all the new names. “The demographics have changed in this neighborhood,” he said. “Some of the folks here are from this neighborhood, and others are here from East Pleasant Valley and our neighborhood, so it’s a mixed bag of people.” He loves seeing the kids play. “This neighborhood used to be heavily Asian, and now it’s heavily Hispanic,” he said. “A lot of the names have changed, but I get to meet the kids and see how they’re doing. The Fire Department is here, and Officer Silva is here scooping ice cream. He is touching base with a lot of people in the neighborhood.”

He too didn’t plan to set any ice cream eating records. “I might have a scoop,” he laughed. Lloyd comes to the park every day. “My wife and I have been in this neighborhood for 27 years, and we’ve seen it ebb and flow,” he said. “I was telling Officer Silva that the neighborhood has improved over the last five years, and my wife is the chairperson for the neighborhood. We’re able to dedicate more time because we are both retired.” Rosanna said her district councilwoman, Gabriela Basua, is interactive with the community. “She’s helping us get our

basketball court redone and resurfaced,” Rosanna said. “She is active in this neighborhood and returns emails and voice messages.” Deputy City Manager Shiri Klima was out and about at the event and said everything going on at the park was terrific. “I am going to eat a lot of ice cream and hang out with all these wonderful people,” she said. “There are the ready and resilient packets (from the Oxnard Fire Department) that we want to get out, so we are excited about that.” She loves seeing all the residents and seeing all the beautiful communities in

Oxnard. “I get to meet everyday people and see the kids eat ice cream,” she said. “There are cute dogs, and I like seeing all the kids.” If she hears feedback from the community that is disconcerting, her first impulse is to act upon the information. “If you can send a quick text or call the right person,” she said. “A lot of it is putting people in touch with the right resources.” Ottilie Banks was having a great time at the ice cream social and said she knows most everyone at the event. “I’ve been here since 1974,” she said. “You have different people moving in and out,

and unfortunately, some of the people have passed away. There are a lot of younger people moving in, which is good.” She does not consider herself an ice cream eater but said her great-granddaughter loves ice cream a lot. “She would live on ice cream if I would allow it,” she said. “She’ll only eat chocolate.” During the summertime, she is a regular attendee at the park. “I have great-grandkids, and during the summer I come every day,” she said. “I let them play, but one time I got stuck on the slide, so I don’t do that anymore.”

are notified there is a shortterm rental within the 300-foot radius." The ordinance has an appeal process, Lambert said, which is built into the ordinance. If someone's permit is denied, suspended or revoked, the property owner can appeal that decision. It's not a normal appeal process for approval. "I want to make that clear," he said. The city also proposes a prepermitting inspection, and city staff will inspect the unit and make sure it's legal and has basic life safety provisions. "I'm not looking for complete current code compliance," he said. "We want to make sure the exiting works and the smoke detectors are in there. Those kinds of life-saving issues must be in there, and somebody is not trying to rent an illegally converted garage. That inspection is critical. We will be developing a checklist of what is entailed in that inspection, so homeowners know what we are looking for." The city will hire a compliance company, he said, and Lambert called compliance a critical regulation. One part of the feedback Lambert received is the city does not enforce the current rules, and there is a trust issue about any future regulations. "There are no current regulations on short-term rentals in Oxnard," he said. "We're hopeful that if we have the regulations in place and we have a robust enforcement program in place, we'll see compliance. There will be penalties in place if they are not satisfied." Only property owners can obtain a permit, he said, and the permit expires if the owner

sells the property. The new owner will have to come back in and request a short-rental permit if they want one. "There is only one shortterm rental per owner," he said. "We realize there are some that might have more than one, so we're building in a one-year compliance period. If somebody has more than one per owner that allows them to sell or transfer that second, or third or however many they have." The ordinance also requires that each rental has one or two accessible property managers within a 40-mile radius of the property. "The owner must provide specific notification to the tenants that are renting the STR about what the rules are," he said. "They must be posted inside the unit and in the rental agreement. We have good examples of agreements that have those provisions clearly outlined. We'll make that part of the permit review process." The rules will include the guest limits, what the day and night hours are, and restrictions on noise and events. Parking regulations and requirements, waste collection, and the fact that fireworks are illegal in STRs will be in the rules. "There will also be operational standards included to tenants, and a limitation for overnight occupancy," he said. "We provide for two-persons per bedroom, plus two additional guests for a total of 10. There will be five in the homestays." The maximum number of persons allowed on the property will be an additional six, plus the 10 overnight guests, he said, and that will be during daylight hours only. Quiet hours are from 10 p.m. until 10 a.m. in the rentals. "We also require a nuisance response plan," he said. "The applicant has to give us a detailed plan about how they are going to respond to nuisances, so we make sure we have a quick response. The way the regulations are written today, they have 30 minutes to respond to a complaint, and in 15 minutes during quiet hours. It's a tight regulation to make sure there is a responsible owner in place. The primary occupant of the residence must be 21 or older." This story will continue in the Aug. 16, issue of the Tri County Sentry.

complaints about the impact of short-term rentals within the city, and the council directed the staff to research the issues and resolve the problem. Staff reached out to the public in 2016 and has been looking at the issue for multiple years. "We had a commission study session in Nov. 2016, and the planning commission had a public hearing in June 2017," he said. "Starting earlier this year, we brought it to the council's housing and economic development committee. Ultimately, the city council asked that we come up with best practices, make recommendations, and get everything on the table that reflects the best practices in the cities around coastal California." The staff proposed an outline with best practices in March, and the meeting included a lot of input from residents. The council directed staff to prepare an ordinance. The ordinance will not include mobile homes, because those communities have their regulations, and the shortterm rental ordinance will complicate those rules. Permits issued to shortterm rental owners require an annual fee, he said and will require the owner to obtain a business license. "It also requires a transient occupancy tax in place," he said. "The obligation is clear as a condition of approval going forward. It also requires advance notification of the issuance of the permit. This is not a public hearing notice in advance. It is an attempt to say that once a permit is issued because it complies with all the regulations, the neighbors

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on August 29, 2019 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard, Oxnard, CA 93036. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Morton Allan Hanlon, Jr. be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 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: CA15-671830-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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. 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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019

HEALTH Hurry up and wait: docs say insurers increasingly interfere By Tom Murphy After Kim Lauerman was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, doctors wanted to give her a drug that helps prevent infections and fever during chemotherapy. Her insurer said no.

A

NTHEM Blue Cross told Lauerman the drug wasn't necessary. She eventually got it after an infection landed her in the hospital, but that led to another problem: She ended up missing several chemo sessions. “The insurance has been great until I got to a point that I really needed something for survival,” Lauerman said. Doctors say they worry about the growing influence insurers have over patient care. Some are finding that they need more approvals from insurance companies for routine things like medical scans or some prescriptions, which can postpone care for a few days or even weeks. Insurers say advances in medical care are prompting them to review more cases before deciding on coverage. They say the checks are not meant to delay or stifle care, and they see them as a way to talk to doctors about the best approach and to guard against unnecessary treatment. “It's not the end of the conversation,” said Kristine Grow, a spokeswoman for the insurer trade group America's Health Insurance Plans. Stuck in the middle are patients who may wind up with breaks in treatment. Those interruptions can stir anxiety and, in some cases, influence the success of their care. Lauerman worries her advanced cancer may return because her treatment was cut short.

Doctors wanted her to get chemotherapy and the drug Neupogen to boost infection-fighting white blood cells. But they had to end the second round of chemo early after she developed an infection. The 57-year-old Alpharetta, Georgia, resident also had surgery and now gets regular scans and blood work to check whether her cancer has returned. Federal privacy laws prevent Anthem from commenting on Lauerman's case. But spokeswoman Lori McLaughlin said the insurer does cover Neupogen. That decision can depend on several factors including the patient's health, the treatment plan and guidelines from cancer groups, she said. No independent research tracks how frequently insurance issues delay or curtail care nationally, but

doctors say they've seen a marked increase in difficulties over the last few years. Dr. Ray Page says more than 90% of his patients need an insurer's approval before he does a positron emission tomography, or PET, scan to try to figure out where cancer has spread. The Fort Worth, Texas, doctor said his patients rarely had to wait for such approvals five years ago. “That patient is putting their life in my hands, and they need to be able to trust me,” he said. “When you have these outside interferences telling me I can do this and I can't do that ... that very quickly erodes the trust.” Dr. Barbara McAneny said insurer-created delays have become common in many types of cancer care except for routine follow-up visits. That includes people waiting for pain medication prescriptions.

“When patients have chronic pain and you make them go without their pain medication for several days ... waiting for the wheels of insurance companies to turn, it is cruel,” said the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based oncologist and former president of the American Medical Association. Outside cancer care, doctors say coverage for routine tests like MRIs has become difficult. Autoworker Lance Hopkins lived with neck pain that spread down his body for weeks earlier this year while he awaited insurance approval of an MRI exam. The 55-year-old Monson, Massachusetts, resident said his doctor needs the exam to find a suspected pinched nerve, but his insurer had only approved less precise tests. “What really stunk is my granddaughter had a fishing derby

and I couldn't even hold a fishing pole to help her,” he said. “All I could do is sit there and watch.” Insurers base their reviews and coverage decisions on treatment guidelines established by medical societies, said Dr. Michael Sherman, chief medical officer for Harvard Pilgrim, which offers employersponsored and individual coverage mostly in New England. They have to guard against potential problems such as addiction to pain medications, radiation exposure from too many medical scans or unscrupulous doctors who have their own imaging devices and want to make money. They also try to rein in costs. “If we can't do that, and we see premiums continue to go up ... people won't be able to afford insurance, let alone health care,” Sherman said.

California hospitals question 2030 earthquake standards By Adam Beam SACRAMENTO (AP)—A Southern California hospital spent $72 million on a building designed to do two things after an earthquake: stay standing and stay open. But when a pair of strong earthquakes struck the region last month, the hospital couldn't use it. Structurally, the building was OK. But some broken pipes flooded a room of mechanical and electrical equipment, and water leaked into operating rooms and elevator shafts. The hospital in Ridgecrest, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles, had to evacuate the building as a precaution. Now, Ridgecrest Regional is joining hospitals across the state in questioning standards designed to keep hospitals open after earthquakes. The rules are set to take effect in 2030. Most hospitals in earthquakeprone California have met regulations designed to keep buildings from collapsing in an earthquake. But administrators say the standards for keeping the doors open after quakes are pricey and will force some hospitals to raise health care costs, cut services or close. “Just having a building is a very narrow thing of what it takes to have health care,” Ridgecrest Regional CEO Jim Suver said. “That's why I think it makes some sense, personally, for us to look at the 2030 standards. It's not that they are bad, (but) they are tremendously expensive.” In the case of Ridgecrest

Regional, the standards didn't help, he said. Suver said he had assumed the expensive building would be the hospital's lifeline after an earthquake. But the only way the hospital could stay open was to rely on its undamaged 1960s-era buildings—buildings it had planned to retrofit or replace in the next decade. Labor unions, meanwhile, are defending the standards, pointing out hospitals have had nearly three decades to comply. Changing them now would be a “multibillion bailout on seismic safety standards,” according to Stephanie Roberson, director of government relations for the California Nurses Association. “This thing has been on the books since 1974, and they have abdicated their responsibility ever since. The more you delay, the more things cost,” she said. California has required new hospital buildings to meet earthquake standards since 1974, following a 1971 magnitude 6.5 earthquake in the San Fernando Valley that killed 64 people and collapsed buildings at the Olive View Medical Center and a veterans hospital. In 1994, after a magnitude 6.7 earthquake near Los Angeles damaged 11 hospitals and forced eight to evacuate, state lawmakers required hospitals to either upgrade their existing buildings to withstand an earthquake or replace them. The original deadline was 2008, but is has been extended to 2020 with some exceptions. All but 160 of the more than

3,000 hospital buildings in California have met the 2020 standards, according to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. The California Hospital Association, an industry group, says just 23 hospitals have met the 2030 standards, while 395

California has required new hospital buildings to meet earthquake standards since 1974, following a 1971 magnitude 6.5 earthquake in the San Fernando Valley that killed 64 people have not. They estimate it will cost as much as $143 billion for hospitals to comply, according to a study paid for by the industry. “If we follow through with this standard, we will likely close hospitals,” said Carmela Coyle, president of the California Hospital Association. Hospitals are proposing some alternatives. Their ideas include having taxpayers help finance construction or requiring only a certain number of hospitals in each region to meet the standards. Another idea is to adopt a cap-andtrade-like system where hospitals could buy permits allowing them to have noncompliant beds.

The California Hospital Association sponsored a bill in the Legislature this year to address the 2030 standards, authored by state Sen. Anthony Portantino, a Democrat from La Canada Flintridge. But they could not get an agreement by a legislative deadline, pushing negotiations to next year. Portantino's office did not respond to a request for an interview. Talk of scaling back the standards upsets Tim Thomas, a retired nurse who was thrown to the floor and covered in a pile of books when an earthquake struck near the Watsonville Community Hospital in 1989. The hospital lost power and had to evacuate. Roads were closed, so there was no way out. Thomas assisted as an orthopedic surgeon operated on a patient in the parking lot with nothing but a local anesthetic. “To not make provisions to have the hospitals keep pace with the rest of the infrastructure doesn't make any sense to me,” Thomas said. “I haven't heard anybody suggest the medical industry is not viable and making money.” Coyle said 38% of California hospitals operate at a loss. Suver said if they have to comply by 2030, they will have to “significantly limit some of the services we offer.” “The new tower was very expensive for us to build and prospect for us to have to spend more millions of dollars on remediation of older buildings and demolish them is very tough for a small rural hospital like us,” he said.

Life in public-shooting-era America: ‘You can't just not go' By Ted Anthony Ohio: A bar district where friends gathered for drinks on a warm Saturday night. Texas: A Walmart stocked with supplies for backto-school shopping on an August morning. California: A family-focused festival that celebrates garlic, the local cash crop.

T

WO consecutive summer weekends. Less than seven days. More than 30 fellow human beings gone in moments, in public places exactly like those where huge swaths of the American population go without a second thought. Or perhaps not. Perhaps no longer. Have we crossed into an era of second, third, even fourth thoughts? “I don't like to go out, especially without my husband. It's really scary being out by myself,” preschool teacher Courtney Grier, 21, said Sunday outside a grocery store in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where a gunman killed 12 in a city building in late May. But, Grier says, “You still have to go to the grocery store to get dinner. You can't just not go.” That might be an apt slogan for America, circa 2019: You can't just not go. Civic life, particularly the public portion of it, has been a foundation of American society since the beginnings. That may have ebbed in today's nose-in-your-device world, but events like festivals, going out for the evening and in particular shopping remain enduring communal activities. Now those three venues have given us lethal and very public shootings in the space of less than a week.

Add other daily-life institutions that have been visited by mass shootings—houses of worship, movie theaters, malls, a newsroom and, of course, schools—and the question becomes more pressing: Are these loud, sudden events starting to fundamentally change America in quiet, incremental ways? The sites where bullets flew and people fell this past week are not simply places where random people gather publicly and informally. More importantly, if you're an American, they're places like the ones where people like YOU gather publicly and informally—particularly in the summer, when so many are not as hunkered down by weather and obligation. These aren't only mass shootings (Gilroy, in fact, with three dead other than the shooter, technically isn't a “mass shooting” by some of today's metrics). They are also mass public events that make us deal with something that other places have faced for yearslong stretches: assessing daily life's danger while moving through it with loved ones.

The chances of an American being caught up in a public mass shooting remain incredibly rare. Nevertheless, the sometimes-toxic cocktail of the events themselves, social media echo chambers and

Are these loud, sudden events starting to fundamentally change America in quiet, incremental ways? the distorting factors of the 24-hour news cycle can be impactful. El Paso's 20, Dayton's nine and Gilroy's three have caused online outpourings around many questions, some more political than others. But variations of these two keep cropping up: Are regular places safe anymore? Should we assume that they are? There are, loosely, two types of reactions that sometimes overlap.

One is to back off some, to take more precautions. One is to be defiant. That's the approach that retired Marine Richard Ruiz, a Gilroy native, says he's seen in Gilroy in the week since the garlic festival shooting. “The thing that has changed in Gilroy is our focus,” said Ruiz, 42. “No one is showing signs of being worried or fearful in public. We're emboldened. We want to go out more.” In Squirrel Hill, the Pittsburgh neighborhood where a shooter killed 11 people at Tree of Life Synagogue last fall, a commitment to doing exactly that has helped ensure that civic life remains vibrant. There is little visible change except for the “Stronger than Hate” signs in some shop windows that encourage two things—a return to normal life and a commitment to never forgetting. In Dayton, Nikita Papillon, 23, described the site of the killings that happened across the street from her Saturday night as the kind of location “where you don't have to worry about someone shooting up the place.”

Oscar-winning documentary maker D.A. Pennebaker dies at 94

SAG HARBOR, N.Y. (AP)—D.A. Pennebaker, the Oscar-winning documentary maker whose historic contributions to American culture and politics included immortalizing a young Bob Dylan in “Don't Look Back” and capturing the spin behind Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign in “The War Room,” has died. He was 94. Pennebaker, who received an honorary Academy Award in 2013, died of natural causes at his home in Long Island, his son, Frazer Pennebaker said in an email. Pennebaker was a leader among a generation of filmmakers in the 1960s who took advantage of such innovations as handheld cameras and adopted an intimate, spontaneous style known as cinema verite. As an assistant to pioneer Robert Drew, Pennebaker helped invent the modern political documentary, “Primary,” a revelatory account of John F. Kennedy's 1960 victory in Wisconsin over fellow Democratic presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey. He on went to make or assist on dozens of films, from an early look at Jane Fonda to an Emmy-nominated portrait of Elaine Stritch to a documentary about a contentious debate between Norman Mailer and a panel of feminists ("Town Bloody Hall”). Widely admired and emulated, Pennebaker was blessed with patience, sympathy, curiosity, the journalist's art of setting his subjects at ease, the novelist's knack for finding the revealing detail and the photographer's eye for compelling faces and images. When reducing vast amounts of raw footage into

a finished film, Pennebaker said, “The one barometer I believe in is boredom. The minute people start to lose interest, that's it.” Pennebaker parted from Drew in the mid-'60s and became a top filmmaker in his own right with the 1967 release “Don't Look Back,” among the first rock documentaries to receive serious critical attention. It follows Dylan on a 1965 tour of England, featuring Joan Baez, Donovan, Allen Ginsberg and others. Dylan was then transforming from folk singer to rock ‘n roller and “Don't Look Back” finds the artist clashing with journalists and breaking from his own history, including Baez, with whom he had comprised folk music's signature couple. She was his girlfriend at the start of the

movie and ex-girlfriend by the time the documentary was done, his growing disregard for her unfolding on camera. Decades later, he would apologize, saying he feared she would be “swept up in the madness” of his changing career. Scenes from “Don't Look Back” have become part of the musical and movie canon, among them Dylan playing “It's All Over Now, Baby Blue” in his hotel room while an impressed (and perhaps intimidated) Donovan looked on. In a much imitated sequence that anticipated rock videos, Dylan's fast-talking “Subterranean Homesick Blues” plays on the soundtrack as the singer holds a stack of cue cards with fragments of the lyrics, peeling the cards off and discarding them

one by one. Patti Smith would recall seeing the film so many times she memorized the dialogue. In a 2000 Associated Press interview, Pennebaker said he didn't know much about Dylan at the time, but watching through his lens, saw “an amazing prodigy. Very smart in an untutored way. He created his own persona right before your eyes. ... He was a compendium of things it takes professors years to figure out—startlingly naive, but smart.” He recalled Dylan “went into shock” the first time he saw the film, but then returned a night later, watched it again, then gave his OK. “He had no idea that one camera sitting on one guy's shoulder could make him feel so naked. ... I've always admired Dylan for letting (the film) go the way it was,” he said. Pennebaker continued to work with Dylan after “Don't Look Back” and was on hand for his raucous European tour in 1966. An all-out rocker by this time, backed by expert and unknown musicians who later became the Band, Dylan performed snarling, defiant versions of “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues” as fans of his folk style booed and heckled. Dylan was also seen working on music with Johnny Cash, and, looking and sounding strung out, bantering nonsensically with John Lennon in the back of a car in London. But Dylan was reportedly unsatisfied with Pennebaker's cut and reworked the film himself. Some of the footage was released as “Eat the Document” while other parts were used by Martin Scorsese for “No Direction Home,” a Dylan PBS documentary released in 2006.

NEW YORK (AP)—Lupita Nyong'o remembers clearly the first time she touched a giraffe. She was 5, and it was part of her childhood education growing up in Kenya to appreciate the wildlife around her. “They weren't exotic, they were there,” she recalled. Over the years, the Oscar-winning actress has been involved in conservation efforts to preserve wildlife, and has spent time touring the national parks of her homeland where she got to marvel at the beauty of animals up close. So when she was recruited by Simon Fuller to narrate the new Discovery docuseries “Serengeti,” which follows the trials and tribulations of animal families including lions, baboons, hyenas and elephants, it was an energetic yes. But it also attracted her for another reason. “I've never heard any one like me narrate these documentaries,” she said, speaking of her African heritage, in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “I was really excited for the opportunity to narrate my own world.” In “Serengeti,” which debuts Sunday at 8 p.m. on the Discovery network, Nyong'o's voice takes viewers on a journey following several species that were tracked in the massive Serengeti in Tanzania. Filmmaker John Downer, a veteran wildlife documenter, was tasked with zeroing in on the familial dynamics of various species, like Kali the lioness, who is ousted from her pride in the first episode because she's mated outside of it. She's now forced to protect and feed her young cubs without the help of her family. Bakari, a baboon, is seen fighting for the affection of a female baboon who has given her affections to the ruler of the pack. Meanwhile Tembo, an adolescent elephant, is trying to find his way and place after his mother gives birth again. Downer said “Serengeti” differs from other nature programs because it brings the viewer into the world of the animals in a more intimate way. “We're not seeing them just sort of as you would within the documentary which is usually about what they do in dramatic moments where you see something happen in their lives. This is kind of more personal. It relates to human behavior,” he said. “We could see ourselves reflected in them, because we see them as animals as complex in many ways as we are, and having to make the same life choices but in very different environments, where it's all about survival of the family and about jealousies and rivalries and many things that, you know, the human world encounters.” The series produced by “American Idol” producer Simon Fuller, who was inspired by his own experiences watching wildlife on safari and his own time spent in the Serengeti. They were able to film on the Serengeti Reserve, a private area next to the national park, away from tourists, which helped them gain unfettered access to the animals. “The beautiful thing about some of these reserves is that it could be one hundred years ago it could be a thousand years ago. The time doesn't exist. . it's suddenly their world not ours,” he said.
