Community Packs Dominick’s for a Good Cause

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD—It was officers stepping up and learning new skills Aug. 9, as members of the Oxnard Police Department traded their badges for aprons and faced the dinner rush at Dominick’s Italian Restaurant during its annual Tip-A-Cop event benefitting the Torch Run. The police department runs the Torch Run and officers run the torch through Oxnard and relay the torch to other police departments which continues through Los Angeles. Sergeant Dale McAlpine said the Oxnard Police Department steps up with a fundraiser for the Ventura County Special Olympics twice a year, and in 2018 he had 12 officers and dispatchers joining in the effort. The 2017 event generated $1,950. “The officers will be paired with servers and act as waiters in an effort to gain tips that are all donated to the Special Olympics to help support all

the events throughout California,” he said. McAlpine said he loves giving back to the community in a non-law enforcement capacity. “We’re just meeting people, talking to them, and we’re not out doing police work,” he said. When asked, he said he has no restaurant training. “My brother in law died a few years ago from cancer, and he was a Special Olympian,” he said. “He had cerebral palsy and a couple of other developmental disabilities, so as my tribute to him I decided to take up

t h e mantle because the previous person retired. For me, it has a special place in my heart.” He recommended the manicotti for dinner.

Michelle Obama Joins Voter Registration Drive for the Midterms By Lauren Victoria Burke Former First Lady Michelle Obama is featured in a video along with celebrities Tom Hanks, Janelle Monáe, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Lin-Manuel Miranda to encourage people to register and vote. In less than 100 days, the midterm elections that will either expand President Trump’s power or greatly restrict it, will take place on November 6. There has been much talk about the likelihood of a “blue wave” that could give Democrats the gavel and investigative power in Congress over the next two years of Trump’s presidency. The underlying urgency of Michelle Obama’s message is an unspoken aspect of her new registration effort. The name of the new effort, “When We All Vote,” is also an indication that the former first lady is well aware of the fact that

higher voter turnout usually leads to Democratic victories at the polls. The effort is also a challenge registered voters to participate in elections “both big and small.” Though the effort is billed as “nonpartisan,” the sense of urgency about the country’s direction under President Trump’s leadership is an unavoidable backdrop. Several live events are also expected as part of the effort between now and election day. Former President Barack Obama is expected to hit the campaign trail to assist Democrats who are looking to take back the House and Senate in 2019. On July 31, the former President announced that he is endorsing 81 Democratic candidates on the ballot this November. There is a record number

of women on the ballot this year. Many of the endorsements former President Obama has focused on were candidates who worked in his administration, like Colin Allred, Lauren Underwood and Richard Cordray. The Obamas have been relatively quiet since departing the White House i n

early 2017, but that is likely to change. The former president and the former first lady’s launch of “When We All Vote” is likely to be only the first of several post White House efforts they will participate in. "I'm confident that, together, they'll strengthen this country we love by restoring opportunity that's broadly shared, repairing our alliances and standing in the world, and upholding our fundamental commitment to justice, fairness, responsibility, and the rule of law," Obama wrote in his endorsement statement.

Thousands Beat the Heat at the Annual Ventura County Fair Summertime Fun Produced Thousands of Smiles

Traffic Stop Yields Multiple Firearms Charges OXNARD—On Aug. 13, 2018, at approximately 6:50 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police contacted a known gang member in his vehicle in the 500 Block of North G Street. The subject is Daniel Garcia, a 29-year-old Oxnard resident. During the contact with Garcia, officers located a loaded sawedoff shotgun in his vehicle that was illegally modified with a barrel shortened to a prohibited length. Police arrested Garcia without incident during the encounter. Police charged Garcia with possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of loaded firearm in a vehicle. He was booked in Ventura County Jail on the charges.

VENTURA—The Ventura County Fair is proud and happy to report another successful fair. Celebrating the diverse traditions of Ventura County, the 143rd edition, “A Country Fair with Ocean Air” closed with thousands having come out to enjoy the 12-day event, many returning for the first time since making the Fairgrounds their home during the December Thomas Fire evacuations. The Ventura County Fair's mission is to preserve, promote, and showcase agriculture and the traditions of Ventura County, this was accomplished with competitive livestock and horse shows, agricultural exhibits, and baking contests. Fairgoers enjoyed an abundance of attractions, which included Fido 500 Dog Races, Star Child Stilt Circus, who delighted young and old as they strolled high above the Fair, and Gus Flamingo, the hilarious magician in the Youth Expo. Tasty new food offerings like Cajun Catfish and Lobster Mac & Cheese pleased the taste for new summer treats while the mini donuts and turkey legs satisfied the traditional cravings of Fairgoers. Despite the hot and humid weather, attendance was strong at 299,011. By the virtues of comfort, variety, safety, cleanliness, and

value the Fair was a success. “We are always working on ways to make the Fair a better experience for our visitors.” said Fair CEO Barbara Quaid, who once again shared the Fair’s winning formula: "For us the focus is not about the numbers of people coming through the gates, but about the quality of the experience our guests have at the Fair. We measure our success by the number of smiles on the faces of the Fairgoers. The Fair is committed to offering a clean, safe and fun experience that visitors will remember forever." A new carnival layout welcomed thrill seekers lending a sense of rediscovery to the already exciting midway. The Star Tower was a new addition that took riders up 100 feet to swing high above the lights in the ocean air. Nearly 16,000 County residents entered art, crafts, projects and other curiosities in the competitive exhibits, winning prizes and sharing their talents with Fair visitors. Free entertainment was one of the features that drew so many to the Fair, not only the top name Concerts including Sublime with Rome, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and Hunter Hayes but local bands were a huge favorite. Crowds came out to enjoy and lend their support for local entertainers

including KNS Rockstar, 99 Mondays, Crooked Eye Tommy, Aaron Pax Taylor, Hard Six, The Rockin’ Henrys, Dezmo’s Blues, Revelry Country, Doc Rogers Band, and many others. As is the case every year, overall success would not be possible without the tremendous support of the sponsors and the community. While the gates have closed on the 2018 Ventura County Fair, planning is already underway for the 2019 Fair. The Ventura County Fair entertained thousands of guests and participants. It employs up to 700 seasonal staff during the annual 12-day event. With annual attendance of approximately 300,000 visitors to the Fair, the communities throughout Ventura County share in the economic vitality derived from the Ventura County Fair. The Fair brings economic, social, educational, and cultural resources and provides lasting impressions on Fairgoers. While agriculture is the heart of the Fair, it's the diverse entertainment that typically draws Fairgoers through the gates. Known for free top name concerts, we take pride in the overall dynamics and diversity of the entertainment and cleanliness of the grounds, as well as the vast educational and innovative exhibits that are showcased throughout the Fair each year.

to the car budget. “I try not to spend too much time on what is spent and remember the fact that overall, we love the cars. Our thought is all about family,” she said. Her favorite car is a 1965 Super sport convertible. “I am looking for a 1963 convertible Impala,” she said. DJ G-Cut kept the beat. “I’m the new female DJ in the 805,” she said. “A lot of blood, sweat and pride goes into these cars.” Sergeant Dan Shrubb said the Oxnard Police Department

endorses cruise night and brought the DRAGG RACING AGAINST GANGS AND GRAFFITI (DRAGG) car to the show. DRAGG is a youth automotive program that promotes racing for success. “This police car is a mascot,” he said. “It’s for our after-school program for high school kids. We teach automotive and get them off the streets and into the shop. We get them on a pathway into the automotive industry. We believe if they have something positive to do,

they tend to do better things in life.” He said people always ask if the car is a real patrol car. “It’s a show car and doesn’t do any patrol work,” he said. “It’s got a personalized plate on it, and it has high-performance parts, so it attracts an enthusiast.” Shrubb loves meeting the car enthusiasts. “They all have something in common,” he said. “There is good music, and the vendors downtown gets some benefit from it, and people come and enjoy themselves.”

money for the Special Olympics. “The Law Enforcement Torch Run is a significant part of our budget,” she said. “All of the tips they generate remain in Ventura County.” Preston said she started with nonprofit fundraising in 1988. “My daughter moved to Ventura, and she was pregnant at the time,” she said. “When a job came up, I applied, and I have been here for 15 years.” Preston’s granddaughter Kaitlyn King said she enjoys helping her grandmother. “It’s fun,” King said. “My friends think this is a good cause.” Preston said Kaitlyn has been helping her since she was a little girl. “She’s my best t-shirt seller,” Preston said. “Kaitlyn would walk up and hold up this t-shirt. It was big as she was, and she would say would you please help Special Olympics and buy a t-shirt? Who would say no? I had the best t-shirt sales when she was little. It’s not that great anymore; she’s getting too big.” King said she was going to enjoy a cheese pizza when the event ends. Deputy Chief Jason Benites ordered a bowl of minestrone. “It’s hot, kind of like the weather today,” he said. “Their minestrone is so good; I always have it when I come here.” He likes giving back to the community. “It’s another avenue to give back,” he said. “We have between 30-50 officers and civilian staff meet at the torch run, and they’ll take it through our city.” Assistant Police Chief Eric Sonstegard also enjoyed the minestrone but had a pizza on the way with pepperoni and sausage. He likes interacting with the community in a different setting. “They’re out of uniform, and you can see their employees just like everyone else living the life,” he said. “It’s cool to see that interaction between the officers and people that come to eat.” He didn’t plan on being a waiter. “They need eaters, so I’m an eater,” he joked. Detective Juanita Suarez-Kay has been with the police since 2001 and loves meeting the community. “They come out and have dinner,” she said. “A lot of the faces that are here today you see over-and-over,” she said. “It’s nice to see the people you haven’t seen in a while.” She is a former waitress and is happy to get back in action. “It was a long time ago, but it’s nice,” she said. “Right now, I’m a hostess and taking people to tables, and in about an hour I will be a waitress.” Ralph Nieves came out to support the cause. “I’m a retired police officer,” he said. “I’ve done this before; I was a waiter for many years.” He said the key to the evening is to let the community know you. “The best part about being done is the little bit of relaxation you get,” he said. “The eggplant parmesan is to die for, which is what I usually have.” Sergeant Scott Aaron is a former fastfood restaurant employee and is not worried about dropping plates while serving. “If it happens, it happens,” he said. “I love giving back to our community. We are part of the community, and the community is part of us.” Commander Sharon Giles ordered spaghetti and meatballs for herself and lasagna for her husband. “It’s phenomenal food,” she said. “We come here all the time.” She likes letting the public see police officers are just people. “We hang out with the people and support a lot of great programs,” she said. “The officers look forward to doing this every year.” Detective Lucy Buttell was grabbing a takeout order. “Pizza, eggplant parmesan, lasagna and fettuccine alfredo,” she said. “The food is good.” She loves interacting with the athletes from the Torch Run. McAlpine said it’s never too late to donate and make a difference. “You can contact me via my email, which is Dale.McAlpine@OxnardPD.org and I will coordinate with you,” he said. “All checks are made out to the Special Olympics of Ventura County."

Kids Enjoy Healthy Lunches at the Oxnard Teen Center

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

OXNARD—“Healthy meals for deserving youngsters” was the name of the game at the Oxnard PAL (Police Athletic League) Teen Center August 10, as the facility opened its doors to the area children for a free lunch. The City of Oxnard has a partnership with the Port Hueneme School District, and they are grantfunded to provide free lunches for youths up to age 18. The group also enjoys board games, ping pong and arts and crafts when they spend the day at the PAL, but admitted the favorite activity is dodgeball. Oxnard Recreation Coordinator Susan Marquez has been with the city for 17 years and said the children have been receiving lunches since before she started. “There are different sites throughout the city, and we extended our hours so our kids can come in during the summer,” she said. “It is an eight-week program.” She said the venue is an open site, and nobody has to enroll to enjoy the meals. “You can come and eat,” he said. “Today is a pizza box with veggie bites, frozen fruit, tuna salad, ham and cheese sandwiches, chicken and

brown rice, steamed veggies, peanut butter and jelly, cheese enchiladas and they are all made fresh at Haycox Elementary School in the Hueneme School District.” Marquez said pizza is the kids' favorite meal, more than any other meal. “We haven’t had any complaints about any of the meals,” she said. The one noticeable attribute each child has, she said, are the smiles on

their faces when they come for lunch. “We have some kids who specifically come for certain meals,” she said. “Watching them eat their lunch and enjoy it is the best part.” Student Zammrra Sascido loves hanging out with her friends and eating lunch. “I talk a lot with my friends too,” she said. “When I don’t come here, sometimes I just stay in and sleep.” She will return to Emily Richen

Elementary School next week and start the fifth grade. “They smile sometimes,” she said when her parents look at her report card. Employee Itzel Fernandez was preparing lunch. “After lunch, I play with them if they want to play board games,” she said. “I love playing with the kids. They’re funny, and they make me laugh.”

She is enjoying her first summer with the recreation program. “Someone told me about being a volunteer. So I went to the office, and they told me about this program,” she said. “I applied for it, and they hired me.” For more information, visit the Oxnard Police Athletic League Teen Center, at 350 South K Street.

Library Hosts a Sweet Event End of Summer Reading Party Full of Ice Cream and Literary Adventures

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD— Kids and parents came out in full force Aug. 11, as the main branch of the Oxnard Public Library held its end of summer reading party that was full of fun. The group snacked on ice cream sundaes and had a wealth of books to choose from to read and enjoy. The library has an ambitious, but attainable, goal of reading 1,000 books before a youngster starts kindergarten, and Children Librarian Patty Rose said the kids love exploring the world through books. “That’s for the younger children,” she said. “They get a bookmark, and there are 100 circles per bookmark. As the parents read to the children they fill them out, then return the bookmark to us. They receive little prizes throughout, so the kids get prepared for kindergarten.” She enjoys seeing the delight on the kids' faces as they dive into the ice cream. “This is a lot of fun,” she said. “We supply the ice cream for our

programs. The fact they are reading and enjoying the ice cream is fantastic.” There is no rest at the library, she said, as the venue is heading into its fall programs. “We have programs for toddlers, school age, for teens and adults,”

We have programs for toddlers, school age, for teens and adults. Children Librarian Patty Rose

she said. “If you check our library's website, www.oxnard.org/library, we have all kinds of things going on.” She said working at the library was a no-brainer. “I have always enjoyed reading and working with kids,” she said. “I like showing kids the right books to read (that) they might be interested in exploring.”

When a child discovers the library, Rose said the first order of business is showing them around, so they see how they arrange everything. “If they like sports, music or video games, we have all kinds of books on those topics,” she said. Youngster Ruben Tellez is a regular visitor at the library. “I read Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes,” he said. “I liked Sherlock Holmes a little bit better.” Ruben enjoyed the ice cream. “I had whipped cream and chocolate fudge on my ice cream,” he said. “I plan to keep reading and watch television later.” Joshua Tellez likes reading Humphrey but also loves ice cream. Mom Elizabeth Tellez said she wants her children to read well. “I want them to learn their vocabulary,” she said. “I like the cookbooks and go home and cook for my family.” Children and adults interested in exploring the library can visit the main branch at 251 South A Street, or the South Oxnard Branch at 4300 Saviers Road.

The proposed 400unit Fisherman's Warf apartment complex sparked public comments during the Channel Island Beach Community Services District Board meeting, Aug. 14. A developer plans 390 units on the corner of Channel Islands Boulevard and Victoria Avenue. Harbor Beach Community Alliance member Rene Aiu spoke out against the project and asked the board to help its

neighbors. “I know that it’s difficult for this board to donate to any 501c3, but there may be some ways that you can help the community that falls within your policies and mandates,” she said. Aiu met with the new Harbor Director, Mark Sandoval, Aug. 6, and asked if they could get an updated public works plan and master plan for the harbor. “In this meeting, he was not enthusiastic,” she said. “In fact, he did not feel it was necessary.” She said her group knows they need a public works update, not only for businesses but also for the community, so they know in general what’s going to happen to the harbor. “This is something the district can help pay for, an updated public works plan,” she said. After some contemplation, she said other things can help the community. “The developer has on his website, very misleading information to the public,” she said. “That is something the board should have the community better understand. They have some very misleading illustrations on what this project is going to look like.” She was hoping the board could make a better presentation. “We talked to several graphics people because we need to do a 3D rendition of the project itself,” she said. “What they’re showing the public is only a perspective, which makes the project look small and the community benefits very large. The ratio is all wrong; the perspective is all wrong.” She said they don’t want to show the problems with the project. “There is no view corridor in this building because they have a back wall,” she said. “The view corridor is only for the residents. To see this in a clear way, we need to do an illustration.” She pointed out an illustration costs money, and it is a public service that requires money the board can help pay. “It’s to educate the community about what’s going on in the harbor and what the project is going to look like,” she said.

Hallelujah, It IS a Scam Dr. James L. Snyder I know I am not the sharpest pencil in the drawer, or the brightest bulb on the porch, and a few bricks shy of a load. However, my philosophy is simple, if you know what you are not, then you can soon figure out what you really are. If somebody can’t con me, they can’t con anybody. I admit that I am naïve about many things. A Girl Scout needs only smile, wink her brown eyes at me and I will buy all the cookies she has. My problem is, I have a hard time believing anyone would lie to me. Why would someone lie in the first place? What does lying get you? An incident happened this past week that sucked me into that whirlpool of naivety. I received an email from somebody who wanted to give me a lot of money. It seems this woman was recently widowed and her husband was very wealthy and she wanted to give money to some charity. Would I be interested in receiving money? Well, when it comes to money you do have my interest. Immediately I printed this email out and brought it to show the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. Now, if anybody can con her, they can con everybody. She can spot a lie three generations back. She read the email and then looked at me with one of those “stares” and said, “You do know that this is a scam?” “But,” I said rather hesitatingly, “what if it isn’t a scam? What if it’s real? What have I got to lose?” “You mean,” she said rather sarcastically, “besides your mind?” It was at that moment I had an overwhelming urge to prove finally that she did not know everything. When I follow through with this and get all that money in our bank, I will have a laughing party heard around the world at her expense. I decided to see if maybe this was legitimate. So, I emailed them back and said I was interested in their money for our charity and explained a little bit about our charity. Very soon, I got an email back congratulating me on a wise decision. I sat back and grinned to myself; at least somebody appreciates my wisdom.

Then I received an email saying I needed to send them some information, so I immediately sent it. All the while, I’m thinking of how I’m going to rub this in someone’s face for a very long time. After all, the amount of money they were talking about was $4.7 million. I started thinking about what I could do with

all that money. It is amazing what happens when a person starts thinking about all the money he is going to get. Then the thoughts go to “things.” Things that I cannot afford right now. I tried to think of all of the things that I would buy as soon as I got this money. I got some paper and a pen and started to

make a list. I ran into a little problem here. I could not think of anything I wanted that I did not already have. I don’t have a long list of things I want. I like books, pens and pocketknives. Of course, I could buy my own Apple fritter bakery. That would be a good option. For a couple days, I shot emails

back and forth with this company that happened to be in Nigeria, Africa. I have some wonderful friends there so I was not even thinking on the negative side of this transaction. Of course, being a pastor, I would donate some of that money to my church. Then I got thinking about what we could do in the church with that kind of money. How many people could we bless and encourage with the programs we could do with that kind of money? I continued emailing back to this widow and she connected me with the bank that was going to handle the transaction. I was beginning to feel a little more comfortable with this. I know my wife thought this was a scam, but I’m not so sure it is a scam. I think it is some dear widow who wants to give her money to somebody that she doesn’t know. What a sweet and wonderful woman she must be. Then I got THE defining email. In order for this transaction to go forward, they needed from me a processing fee of $1,000. After all, I would more than make that up once the transaction was done. At least, according to them. It was then I began to realize I had been bamboozled. Ask me for anything but don’t ask me for my money! It was a scam and I am quite reluctant to pass this information off to the other resident of our house. One of us was right and it sure wasn’t me. I did not get the $4.7 million, but on the other hand, I did not lose $1000. At least that’s something to celebrate. Thinking about this reminded me of one of my favorite Bible verses. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). When I put God first in my life I can be assured that He will direct my paths in the right direction. The Rev. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, 1471 Pine Road, Ocala, FL 34472. He lives with the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, in Ocala, Florida.

Four teenage girls were among the mourners shot after a funeral.

As Trump Distorts NFL Players’ Messages Let’s Instead Join Together By Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. As teams gear up for the NFL season, President Trump is reviving his destructive and diversionary attacks aimed at turning fans against players. The league office stepped in it, by unilaterally declaring that players who do not wish to stand during the national anthem, should stay in the locker room. The NFL players association had little choice but to force negotiations over that insult. Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is a decent guy. But he stuck his foot in it as well, when he recently announced that the Cowboys had to stand for the anthem and couldn’t stay in the locker room—or else. The league wisely told him to zip it, while the policy was under negotiation and so it goes. So much of this is a false narrative. Fake news. Trump dishonestly insists that the players are disrespecting the flag. In fact, the players kneeling during the anthem were expressing a silent protest not against the flag, but against police brutality and the reality of structural racial inequality. Kneeling before the flag in silent, nonviolent protest is not disrespectful to the ‘Stars’ and ‘Stripes.’ In fact, it’s just

the opposite. It is a sign of deference and respect, a call to honor what the flag is truly supposed to represent. Burning the flag is constitutionally protected, but is a desecration. Burning a cross is a desecration. It is violent. Kneeling before the cross, or during the anthem, on the other hand, isn’t a desecration; it is a call for help. Colin Kaepernick was and is concerned about Blacks being beaten and killed by police. He kneeled during the anthem to highlight how the values of the flag were being ignored on the streets. He wasn’t disrespecting the flag—he was protesting those who trample its values. He was being a patriot. Now Trump wants to light the dynamite again. His politics prey and thrive on division. He hopes to divide us one against the other, while his administration rolls back protections of consumers, workers and the environment, allowing corporate lobbyists to rig the rules, with lards of more and more tax cuts and subsidies on entrenched interests and the wealthy. So, he purposefully peddles the false narrative that the players are disrespecting the flag. Jones, who is a Trump supporter, isn’t a bad man.

Beyond the playing field, beyond contracts, he has been a decent guy. He paid for the funeral of Cowboy great Bob Hayes. But Jones has allowed himself to be turned into Trump’s pawn in this diversion. The reality is that we would not have the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas, were it not for those protesting for their rights. The victory of the Civil Rights Movement opened the way to a New South. The nonviolent protests and resistance pulled down the

Now Trump wants to light the dynamite again. His politics prey and thrive on division. old barriers and walls in the South, clearing the way for the Cowboys and the Spurs and the Rockets of the New South, where Blacks and Whites

could play on the same team and wear the same colors— where fans root for the colors of their team, not the color of the players’ skin. Successful protests—at the cost of far too many lives —finally ended slavery and apartheid in this society. We should be honoring the protesters, not distorting their message. Kaepernick was right to protest what is going on in our streets. He has paid a heavy penalty for expressing his views in a nonviolent and

dignified fashion. One of the best quarterbacks in the league, he has effectively been banned, a blatant conspiracy that ought to constitute a clear violation of anti-trust laws. Kaepernick stands among giants. Curt Flood in baseball and Muhammad Ali during the prime years of his boxing life were also banned, but in the process, they changed sports and the country for the better. There have always been politicians who profit by appealing to our fears. There have always been politicians who seek to divide us for political gain. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go to fulfill the flag’s values of liberty and justice for all. The players expressing their views in nonviolent and dignified fashion aren’t disgracing the flag, they are expressing its values. Let us turn against those who would divide us and join together to make America better. The Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr., is one of America’s foremost civil rights, religious, and political figures and the founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. You can follow the Rev. Jackson on Twitter at @ RevJJackson.

Charlottesville Anniversary: Peaceful Protests, Few Arrests WHITE NATIONALIST THREW A PROTEST, BUT ONLY A HANDFUL CAME WASHINGTON (AP)—Thousands of people wanting to send a message that racism is unwelcome in the United States gathered in a park outside the White House to protest a white nationalist rally on the anniversary of the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

In the end, fewer than two dozen white nationalists showed up. The events in Washington and others in Charlottesville, largely peaceful though tense at times, marked a year since one of the largest gatherings of white nationalists and

other far-right extremists in a decade. One person was arrested in Washington on Sunday, and four others were arrested in Charlottesville. In Charlottesville, the mother of the woman killed at last summer’s rally visited the site of the attack, saying the country’s racial wounds still have not healed. In Washington, a phalanx of police and a maze of metal barriers separated the small group of white nationalists from shouting counterprotesters within view

of the White House. Jason Kessler, the principal organizer of last year’s “Unite the Right” event, led the Sunday gathering he called a white civil rights rally in Lafayette Park. Kessler said in a permit application that he expected 100 to 400 people to participate, but the actual number was far lower: only around 20. Kessler’s group was dogged by jeering crowds from the moment they emerged from the Foggy Bottom Metro station; they

marched about a mile to the White House surrounded by uniformed officers and police vehicles. Behind the barricades, in the northern half of the park, thousands of counterprotesters struggled to even catch a clear glimpse of the white nationalist rally. The counterprotesters had gathered hours earlier in Lafayette Park and nearby Freedom Plaza. Makia Green, who represents the Washington branch of Black Lives Matter, told Sunday’s crowd in Freedom Plaza: “We know from experience that ignoring white nationalism doesn’t work.” After about 90 minutes, the white nationalists were packed into a pair of vans and driven to safety. Earlier in the day in Charlottesville, the mother of Heather Heyer, the 32-yearold killed during last year’s rally, said there’s still much healing to be done.

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

“It’s at your own pace,” he said. “You take a break when you want, and if you only want to do it for 20 minutes, that’s fine. If you can do the whole hour more power to you.” Garcia said many times the seniors encourage him to join the fun. “I haven’t done it in years,” he said. “There was a while there when I was getting in the groove. I liked to participate with them, but it got crowded, so I stopped because I didn’t want to take a spot in line from them. Then I got lazy and didn’t do it again.” On Mondays, he said the attendees pay a donation for an instructor, but on Tuesday and Thursday the class is free. Zumba Instructor Esther Carcamo said the program is dancing. “You dance, and you exercise at the same time,” she said. “I learned to exercise a long time ago, and the county said ‘Why don’t you start doing Zumba?’” She designed a special class for the seniors. “They don’t have to jump too much, and they enjoy it,”

she said. If someone can’t find the rhythm, she said the class slows down, so the participant can get with the groove. “I see they enjoy the class, and that makes me happy,” she said. Annette Hernandez said she’s been taking Zumba class for about five years and feels great. “Initially I lost 14 pounds, and it keeps you in shape and keeps your energy up,” she said. “If your energy is up your mental health is better.” She said the class is fun. “I recommend it to everyone,” she said. The center is host to many fun activities, Garcia said, including Wii Bowling after lunch. “We try and get a team together,” he said. “Usually just the team will practice, but everyone else is encouraged to come out play and learn if they want to.” Garcia said there is a county-wide Wii Bowling tournament, which pits senior centers from Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Simi Valley and

the north and south Oxnard Senior Centers. “That began about five years ago,” he said. The group was singing the praises of Joan Johnson, who is the head chef at the center. “She cooks it with love,” Garcia said. “The stuff we get is pre-made, and she warms it up in the oven. She adds a little flavor we’re allowed to use. There are limitations in the diabetic community.” Lunch is a $3 donation for people over 60 years old, he said. And if you are between 55 and 59 years old, it is a state requirement to pay for the lunch, which costs $6.50. “The majority of people who come for lunch are over 60 years old,” he said. Garcia encourages people to come down and give the senior center a try. “It doesn’t have to be every day,” he said. “Come out for a day, meet some people and if you grew up in Oxnard, you might recognize some people you haven’t seen for a while. That happens so many times. My mom came, and this used to be a junior high, she recognized some folks here. Come on out, and it’s not just sitting down at Bingo. New people are coming in, and everybody starts talking to one another.” He said other fun activities at the center are the meeting group on Tuesdays, line dancing on Wednesdays, Thursday is ballroom dancing and art class is on Friday. “Many different excursions are going on too,” he said. “We’re considered seniors and embrace that.” People who want to join the fun should stop by the Wilson Senior Center at 350 North C Street. The phone number is 805-385-8019. SODOKU SOLUTION

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.

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.

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: CA-18825287-BF.

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.

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.

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: CA-18-804567-BF. 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.

No Easy Answers on Best Heart Check-Up for Young Athletes By Lauren Neergaard WASHINGTON (AP)— What kind of heart checkup do young athletes need to make the team? A large study of teenage soccer players in England found in-depth screening didn't detect signs of trouble in some athletes who later died—yet allowed others at risk to get treated and back in the game. At issue is cardiac arrest, when the heart abruptly stops beating. It is rare in young people, especially athletes thought to be at the peak of health. But sometimes the strenuous exertion triggers an underlying heart problem and how to find the young athletes most at risk before a collapse is hotly debated: Do they need routine EKGs added to their pre-sports check-ups? The American Heart Association doesn't recommend it, but European guidelines do. British researchers tracked how players fared in a costly screening program—and found no easy answers. The English Football Association requires cardiac screening for top teen soccer players that includes both an EKG, or electrocardiogram, which measures the heart's electrical activity, and an echocardiogram that shows its structure. Between 1996 and 2016, 11,168 athletes were tested around age 16. Researchers examined those medical records and then tracked how many players who stuck with the soccer organization have died so far. As expected, the vast majority of the teen players were healthy. But 1 in 266 were found to have silent heart disorders that put them at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, researchers reported Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine. The good news: More than twothirds of the 42 high-risk players had conditions that were fixed with surgery so they could safely return to play, said Dr. Sanjay Sharma, a cardiology professor at St. George's University of London,

Red Cross Urgently Needs Blood Donations Before Summer Ends As summer winds down, the American Red Cross urges individuals to give blood and platelets now and help end an emergency summer blood shortage that began last month. A critical need remains as many regular donors delay giving to take final summer vacations and prepare for school to start. To ensure livesaving treatments remain available for patients in the coming weeks, donations are needed now, especially type O. In thanks for helping at this urgent time, all those who come to donate blood or platelets July 30 through Aug. 30, 2018, will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email. (Restrictions apply; see amazon.com/gc-legal. More information and details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/ Together.) Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS

(1-800-733-2767). Those who donated blood earlier this summer may be eligible to give again. Blood can be safely given every 56 days, and Power Red donations can be given every 16 weeks. HOW TO DONATE BLOOD Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood and platelet donors can

save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. Volunteers needed (IF SPACE NEEDED – CAN DROP THIS GRAPH, THOUGH PREFER IT IN) Another way to support the

In a novel experiment, doctors got a letter from the medical examiner's office telling them of their patient's fatal overdose. The response: They started prescribing fewer opioids. Other doctors, whose patients also overdosed, didn't get letters. Their opioid prescribing didn't change. More than 400 “Dear Doctor” letters, sent last year in San Diego County, were part of a study that, researchers say, put a human face on the U.S. opioid crisis for many doctors. “It's a powerful thing to learn,” said University of Southern California public policy researcher Jason Doctor, lead author of the paper published Thursday in the journal Science. Researchers used a state database to find 861 doctors, dentists and others who had prescribed opioids and other risky medications to 170 people who died of an overdose involving prescription medicines. Most states have similar databases to track prescribing of dangerous drugs, where doctors can check patients' previous prescriptions. Most of the deaths involved opioid painkillers, many taken in combination with anti-anxiety drugs. On average, each person who died had filled prescriptions for dangerous drugs from five to six prescribers in the year before they died. Half the prescribers received letters that began: “This is a courtesy communication to inform you that your patient (name, date of birth) died on (date). Prescription drug overdose was either the primary cause of death or contributed to the death.” The letters offered guidance for safer prescribing. The tone was supportive: “Learning of your patient's death can be difficult. We hope that you will take this as an opportunity” to prevent future deaths. Then the researchers watched what happened over three months. Letter recipients reduced their average daily opioid prescribing—measured in a standard way, morphine milligram equivalents—by nearly 10 percent compared to prescribers who didn't get letters. Opioid prescribing in the no-letter group didn't change. Recipients put fewer new patients on opioids than those who didn't get letters. They wrote fewer prescriptions for highdose opioids. The strategy is original, helpful and could be duplicated elsewhere, said pain medicine expert Dr. David Clark of Stanford University, who wasn't involved in the study. He was surprised the letter's effect wasn't larger. “It may have been easy for physicians to feel it was somebody else prescribing who got the patient in trouble,” Clark said, adding that changing even one patient's care takes time, requiring “very difficult conversations.” Opioid prescribing has been declining in the U.S. for several years in response to pressure from health systems, insurers and regulators. Yet deaths keep rising. Nearly 48,000 Americans died of opioid overdoses last year, according to preliminary numbers released last month, a 12 percent increase from a year before. Now illegal fentanyl, another opioid, is the top killer, surpassing pain pills and heroin. Lead author Doctor said reducing the number of prescribed opioids will, over time, close off a gateway to illicit drugs by shrinking the pool of dependent people. The study didn't analyze whether the deaths were caused by inappropriate prescribing or whether the prescribing changes resulted in patients doing better or worse. That's a flaw in an otherwise careful study, said addiction researcher Dr. Stefan Kertesz of University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has raised red flags about policies that cause doctors to take patients off opioids too fast and without a plan for treating addiction.

Issa Rae on 'Insecure,' Drake and Being a Lyft Driver By Mesfin Fekadu NEW YORK (AP)—Issa Rae's character on the hit series “Insecure,” who works for a nonprofit, does what most people in need of extra cash do: She becomes a Lyft driver. But the idea of making the show's lead character a parttime driver came from Rae's own experience: The actress said she applied to become a Lyft driver and was rejected. “I did the application, went to go get my stickers and (stuff) but then got denied because I had one traffic infraction in 2014 ... so I didn't get to do it. I told the writers' room ... (and) they were so tickled at the idea that I would be a Lyft driver,” she said. “In thinking about just the rideshare phenomenon and how so many regular people are using it to make extra money, just the stories that come from that, it just made sense for Issa to have that as a side gig and all the awkward situations that could arise from being a Lyft driver.” Rae had applied to drive for Lyft when she had driven to Malibu last year to write the first episode of season two of “Insecure.” She said

she filled up the rental car with predictable or stale. So she dug gas and had extra, and wanted to deep to write eight new episodes, make use of it. calling the process challenging— She said her show and Lyft don't but “in an exciting way.” have a deal though: “HBO doesn't “This season was harder—just really allow that.” because we closed so many doors “It's great that HBO is like, last season.

She didn't want her show BOY BYE to feel Most of the headlines surrounding the return of “Insecure” were about how Jay Ellis' character, Lawrence, would no longer be on the show. But how did Ellis take the news when Rae delivered it? Rae laughs when asked the question, then says: “It took a while because we were like, ‘Oh maybe he'll show up, maybe he'll show up.' We just didn't know truthfully what was going to happen and after all we were just like, ‘We have to tell him, because he could be working on something else.' Don't want to waste his time.” “It was just a phone call. He took it really well,” she said. Fans petitioned for Rae to bring Lawrence back on the show, but the creator said while she adores the show's fans,

she's not interested in “creative feedback.” “If you're predicting the show, then we're not doing our job,” she said. FASHIONABLY FORTHRIGHT After Rae said in an interview on the red carpet for the 2017 Emmys that she was “rooting for everybody Black,” T-shirts with those words began selling online. But she said she didn't create the shirts and isn't cashing in. “The only time I spoke up about it was when I saw on Facebook this Chinese company selling them, because they had Photoshopped my face to make it seem like I was selling the shirt. And I looked it up like, ‘Who's doing this?' And it was a Chinese company that wasn't even, nobody was Black. So I was like, ‘Uh uh, I'm going to report this (expletive) ‘cause you're not rooting for everyone Black.' You're stealing from everyone Black,” she said. On “Insecure,” and in her real life, she's made bold fashion statements: On the show she wore a sweater with the N-word on it, and when she hosted this year's CFDA Awards, she sported a belt embroidered with “Every N---- Is A Star.” “That was so dope,” she said of the belt. “It's just like, ‘We're here.' Why not make a statement?” VIDEO VIXEN She's not Kiki, but she loves Drake: Rae said appearing in his music video for “Nice for What” was “a dream come true.” Rae makes a cameo in the clip alongside other women blazing trails in entertainment, including Tiffany Haddish, Tracee Ellis Ross, Misty Copeland and Yara Shahidi. Though Drake wasn't on the set, Rae said she befriended director Karena Evans, who also worked on the music videos for Drake's “In My Feelings” and “God's Plan.” “We are really in a renaissance of Black women getting opportunities and shouts to (Drake) for recognizing (her) ‘cause she's elevated his videos. Let's be real,” said Rae, who added that she, like most of the world, was disappointed in the Kanye Westdirected video for Drake's first hit, “Best I Ever Had,” which focused heavily on women's breasts and butts. “What the (expletive) was that video?” she said.

Music Festival to Honor Charles Neville SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP)—Charles Neville, the legendary saxophone player for the Neville Brothers, is being honored by an annual music festival in Massachusetts. The fifth Springfield Jazz & Roots Festival that opens Saturday has been designated a living monument to Neville, who died in April at age 79. The festival was co-founded by Neville's wife, Kristin Neville. After Hurricane Katrina devastated the Nevilles' home city of New Orleans, Kristin worked with musicians and nonprofits there to help get artists back on their feet. Struck by the historical, cultural, and economic parallels between the two river cities, she was inspired to establish the Springfield festival. Springfield's mayor will offer a proclamation and the family will pause the program for a ceremonial moment and to dedicate the festival's main stage in Charles Neville's name.

In Wake of Critical Book, Trump Calls Omarosa 'a Lowlife' By Jill Colvin BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (AP)— President Donald Trump has one word to describe former White House staffer and fellow reality-TV star Omarosa Manigault Newman: “Lowlife.” Manigault Newman claims in an upcoming book, “Unhinged,” that Trump used racial slurs on the set of his reality show “The Apprentice.” She also says she later concluded that he is a racist and a bigot. On Saturday, reporters asked Trump during an event at his golf club in New Jersey if he felt betrayed by Manigault Newman. He responded: “Lowlife. She's a lowlife.” Manigault Newman was a contestant on Trump's “The Apprentice” reality show and later

served as a senior adviser to the president. In the book, she paints Trump as scattered, self-absorbed, misogynistic and insecure.

The book is set for release Tuesday. The White House has already slammed it as “riddled with lies and false accusations.”
