FILM FESTIVAL A SENSORY DELIGHT Films are wanted for the festival

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD—The curtain came up at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, Aug. 16, as the Sight + Sound Film Festival came to life with a preview party and information about the festival scheduled for 2019.

The event was a celebration of its collaborators, organizers and artists alike. Filmmakers, with their cheering sections, came to support the people who have the dream of reaching for a camera and creating an event that moves and inspires.

Driving force Luis Guereca, creator of the Oxnard Independent Film Festival, said it’s a film festival with a little different feel.

“We’re not only going to show films,

but we are going to create an experience in cinema; whether it’s through music or a whole bunch of other things we are still working on,” he said.

As a film festival he said it will have features, but will also have cinematic experiences that people will enjoy.

“Whether it’s music, the sights, or the sounds, we’re going to experiment a lot with that,” he said.

He said the movies will touch the senses through

visual and audio cues, and not the cinema but in a completely through dialogue. different way. Virtual reality is “When we did the film festival a big thing right now.

Annan's Legacy of Fighting for Equality and Rights Lives On

By Edith M. Lederer UNITED NATIONS (AP)—Kofi Annan left the United Nations far more committed than it had been to combating poverty, promoting equality and fighting for human rights—and until his death Saturday he was speaking out strongly for nations working together to solve problems and worried about the rise of nationalism.

As secretary-general of the United Nations from 1997 to 2006, Annan saw as his greatest achievements the programs and policies he put in place to reduce inequality within and between countries, to combat infectious diseases and to promote human rights and protect civilians from war crimes including genocide.

He launched the U.N. Millennium Development Goals at a summit of world leaders in 2000 to cut extreme poverty by half, promote equality for women, ensure every child has a primary school education, reduce maternal and child mortality, and halt the spread of AIDS—all by 2015.

Those goals—only a few of which were fully achieved—were succeeded by an expanded list of U.N. Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 that adds issues such as climate action, affordable and clean energy, and promoting peace and justice.

The updated list is a major focus of the U.N.'s current agenda.

As U.N. peacekeeping chief just before becoming secretary-general, Annan shared blame for the failure of U.N. troops he deployed to prevent the genocides in Rwanda in 1994 and in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in July 1995.

When he became U.N. chief, Annan launched a doctrine of “humanitarian intervention” to prevent governments and leaders from massacring their own people.

At a summit in 2005, over objections from some countries, 191 nations endorsed what has become known as the “responsibility to protect” civilians and head off the world's worst crimes, from ethnic cleansing to genocide. This

doctrine is frequently cited—but At an editorial board meeting the current state of the world. to the dismay of U.N. officials, not with The Associated Press in May “No nation can make itself secure often implemented.

Schools Grapple with Obligations to Migrants in Shelters

Report: 'Excessive' Shots Fired in Fatal Police Shooting

By Sally Ho

SACRAMENTO (AP)—A report on a deadly 2017 deputyinvolved shooting says Sacramento County sheriff 's deputies fired an excessive and unnecessary number of rounds.

Three deputies fired 28 bullets, hitting 32-year-old Mikel McIntyre seven times. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

The number of shots was “excessive, unnecessary, and put the community at risk,” says the report released this week by Sacramento County Inspector General Rick Braziel, a former Sacramento police chief. He recommended that deputies receive more training on when to turn to less deadly options against suspects like McIntyre, who was running away from officers when he was killed.

He was shot after he initially struck two deputies and a police dog with rocks following erratic confrontations with his mother and other family members, authorities said.

While at times McIntyre was “an imminent threat to deputies,”

WA S H I N G T O N — S o m e school systems around the U.S. have been reaching out to assist with the education of immigrant children at nearby shelters.

The federal government and its housing contractors bear responsibility for instruction but some districts say they have felt compelled to intervene amid the outcry over separation of children from their parents at the U.S.Mexico border.

The centers house thousands of immigrant youths, including mostly unaccompanied minors who arrived in the country without their families.

The superintendent of schools in San Benito, Texas, reached out to the local Southwest Key shelter and agreed to send bilingual teachers, mobile classrooms and computers. But most of the 61 school systems with shelters in their district boundaries that were contacted by The Associated Press said they have not had contact with the shelters.

the danger eased as he fled across a major highway in south Sacramento, the report says. Even had he grabbed another rock, he was so far away that deputies had time to consider less-lethal options, the report says.

McIntyre's family sued in June.

Family attorney John Burris told The Sacramento Bee that the two deputies who shot at McIntire along the highway should face criminal charges.

“It's arguable whether you can use deadly force if someone threw a rock at you. There's no debate about the issue of using deadly force when he's clearly running away,” Burris said.

Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones criticized Braziel for releasing his report before the criminal, administrative and district attorney's investigations are completed. He suggested in a statement to KCRA-TV that Braziel lacks “sufficient legal background or use-of-force expertise” and reached a political rather than a proper conclusion.

Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert's office also has yet to decide whether to bring charges against two Sacramento city police officers who killed Stephon Clark, an unarmed Black man, in March.

what we’re going to get. The submission process will be open after tonight, and they’ll have about a year to put something together.”

Event Coordinator Carolyn Mullin said she is new at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center and tasked with creating a 50th anniversary season, including everything on stage and ballrooms.

“Even our parking lot,” she said. “I’m working on a car show for next month.

One of the things I knew I wanted to do was a film festival, but I have no expertise on this at all.”

When she heard about Guereca, Mullin brought the idea to him.

“It’s just brainstorming and where we can take this,” she said. “I don’t like to do anything average; I make it big or go home.”

She loves the fun associated with Sight + Sound.

“I love having fun at my job because it’s not a job,” she said. “I think the other cool thing is providing opportunities to people in our community to exhibit their work and challenge them to get out of their comfort zone and see where they can go creatively.”

Mullin also wants people to connect with each other.

“Let’s see what we can do together,” she said. “Together we’re stronger and better. That’s my motto for this event.”

She said Lanitra Lawson, Chairwoman of the Oxnard Film Department, and Crystal Lopez, a recent Oxnard College graduate, are among the people on the committee.

“It’s good,” she said. “We have a good perspective on this committee.”

Guereca said the committee put together a “sizzle reel” featuring all the local talent to wet everyone’s taste buds for the preview party.

“It’s a short film, but it was well put together by Crystal Lopez,” he said.

“She’s moving on to bigger and better things, and we are excited to have her on the team.”

He said creativity is the goal over the next year.

“You have filmmakers who are picking up a camera and experimenting, but you also have filmmakers who are taking this seriously,” he said. “They want to do this as a career. They studied it and are doing some amazing work that is very moving.”

Lawson said she’s excited to be part of the powerhouse team, led by Mullin and Guereca.

“We bring a college and education to this film festival,” she said. “We’re not just making films and entertaining, but we’re also educating about the content method and the message behind it. It’s not preachy, but we're making sure that we’re teaching filmmakers how to make films and the content we’re putting out.”

She likes all the collaboration involved with the film festival.

“It’s the college, the city, the local artists and they’re all from different walks of life. They are coming together to make something,” she said.

Sight + Sound team member Arcelia Martinez got the crowd fired up and told them that she is a fellow filmmaker and festival organizers.

“I hope you can see in your mind’s eye, everything we have in store for you during the 2019 Sight + Sound Film Festival, but first let’s roll up your sleeves and make these films happen.”

She shared networking and funding opportunities.

Estrella Reyes came to see a friend’s film.

“I believe his film will be on the big screen and I am excited for him,” she said. “I can’t wait to see the different things they have to offer, and I am happy and excited tonight.”

Marky Gutierrez made a shortthemed horror film.

“I have been into horror films since I was a child,” he said. “I like creating short films and movies in general. Ever since I was little, I’ve liked watching scary movies.”

His production is entitled “Hide and Seek.”

“I’m hoping people like it because the people are not actors,” he said. “I am working with what I have, and I am excited.”

Reyes said she’s going to offer constructive criticism.

“We’re going to cheer him on,” she exclaimed.

Not Just Land Heat Waves: Oceans Are in Hot Water, Too

By Christina Larson

WASHINGTON (AP)—Even the oceans are breaking temperature records in this summer of heat waves.

Off the San Diego coast, scientists earlier this month recorded all-time high seawater temperatures since daily measurements began in 1916.

“Just like we have heat waves on land, we also have heat waves in the ocean,” said Art Miller of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Between 1982 and 2016, the number of “marine heat waves” roughly doubled, and likely will become more common and intense as the planet warms, a study released Wednesday found.

Prolonged periods of extreme heat in the oceans can damage kelp forests and coral reefs, and harm fish and other marine life.

“This trend will only further accelerate with global warming,” said Thomas Frolicher, a climate scientist at the University of Bern in Switzerland, who led the research.

His team defined marine heat waves as extreme events in which sea-surface temperatures exceeded the 99th percentile of measurements for a given location. Because oceans both absorb and release heat more slowly than air, most marine heat waves last for at least several days - and some for several weeks, said Frolicher.

“We knew that average temperatures were rising. What we

But stationary organisms dependent upon the reef.

“One in every four fish in the ocean lives in or around coral reefs,” said Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, a marine biologist at the University of Queensland. “So much of the ocean's biodiversity depends upon a fairly small amount of the ocean floor.”

The latest study in Nature relied on satellite data and other records of sea-surface temperatures including from ships and buoys.

It didn't include the recent recordbreaking measurements off Scripps Pier in San Diego—which reached 79.5 degrees Fahrenheit on August 9—but Frolicher and Miller said the event was an example of a marine heat wave.

Miller said he knew something was odd when he spotted a school of bat rays—which typically only congregate in pockets of warm water—swimming just off the pier earlier this month.

Changes in ocean circulation associated with warmer surface waters will likely mean decreased production of phytoplankton—the tiny organisms that form the basis of the marine food web, he said.

Marine biologists nicknamed a patch of persistent high temperatures in the Pacific Ocean between 2013 and 2016 “the Blob.” During that period, decreased phytoplankton production led to a cascading lack of food for many species, causing thousands of California sea lion pups to starve, said Miller, who had no role in the Nature study.

“We've repeatedly set new heat records. It's not surprising, but it is shocking,” he said.

Queen Of Soul continued from page 1

Friedman said. “It's not just that ‘Rolling Stone' called her the No. 1 singer of all time, or that she's the Queen of Soul. Long live the Queen.”

Franklin passed away at her home on Thursday, August 16.

“The NNPA profoundly mourns the passing of our beloved ‘Sister Leader' and Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin,” said NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. “Her creative genius was matched by her steadfast courage as a freedom-fighting singer and leader for civil rights. Black America and all people of goodwill throughout the world will miss her, but her legacy will never be forgotten.”

Dr. Chavis continued: “Long live the spirit and legacy of Queen Aretha Franklin.”

Dorothy Leavell, the chairman of the NNPA and publisher of the Crusader newspapers in Chicago and Gary, Ind., said that she was saddened by the loss of the music icon.

“I send a message of sadness and respect for our beloved Queen whose musical genius [shined brightly] and resounded around the world,” Leavell said.

The fourth of five children, Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Baptist preacher Reverend Clarence La Vaughan "C.L." Franklin and Barbara Siggers Franklin, a gospel singer, according to her biography.

Franklin's musical gifts became apparent at an early age. Largely self-taught, she was regarded as a child prodigy. A gifted pianist with a powerful voice, Franklin got her

Conejo Resident start singing in front of her father's congregation.

By the age of 14, she had recorded some of her earliest tracks at his church, which were released by a small label as the album “Songs of Faith” in 1956. She also performed with C.L.'s traveling revival show and, while on tour, befriended gospel greats such as Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke and Clara Ward.

Hitting her stride in 1967 and 1968, Franklin churned out a string of hit singles that would become enduring classics, showcasing Franklin's powerful voice and gospel roots in a pop framework.

In 1967, the album “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)” was released, and the first song on the album, “Respect”—an empowered cover of an Otis Redding track— reached No. 1 on both the R&B and pop charts and won Aretha her first two Grammy Awards.

She also had Top 10 hits with “Baby I Love You,” “Think,” “Chain of Fools,'” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.”

Franklin's chart dominance soon earned her the title Queen of Soul, while at the same time she also became a symbol of Black empowerment during the Civil Rights Movement of the time.

In 1968, Franklin was enlisted to perform at the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during which she paid tribute to her father's fallen friend with a heartfelt rendition of “Precious Lord.”

Later that year, she was also selected to sing the national anthem to begin

the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

In 1987, Franklin became the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was also awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Detroit.

Prior to her passing this week, Stevie Wonder and the Rev. Jesse Jackson were among those who paid a visit to her at her home in Detroit.

“I prayed with her,” Jackson said.

In a statement, former President Barack Obama lauded Franklin as “The Queen.”

“America has no royalty but we do have a chance to earn something more enduring,” Obama said. “For more than six decades since, every time she sang, we were all graced with a glimpse of the divine. Through her compositions and unmatched musicianship, Aretha helped define the American experience.”

Obama's statement continued: “In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. She helped us feel more connected to each other, more hopeful, more human.”

And, Obama added, sometimes she helped us just forget about everything else and dance.

“Aretha may have passed on to a better place, but the gift of her music remains to inspire us all,” Obama said.

“May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace. Michelle and I send our prayers and warmest sympathies to her family and all those moved by her song.”

Norman is completing his second school in Meh Meh Town, a rural village near Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, in an area that was severely affected by a civil war, and in the more immediate past, devastated by Ebola.

“I grew up in West Africa, and I’m about service and giving back to humanity,” Norman said recently. “I have to build schools for children who won’t otherwise receive an education. We’re all here for a purpose. I want to be part of the movement to change the fate of Africa.”

She sat at her desk hand making care packages for children in her organization and accepted our invitation with open arms. We are celebrating tonight because there will always be obstacles to peace, but there will not always be leaders to overcome them.”

This was in 2015 when Angelini traveled to Liberia, West Africa.

Lobbyist Claims California State Senator Threatened Her SACRAMENTO—State Sen. Joel Anderson is facing an investigation after a lobbyist said he threatened to hit her during a fundraiser at a Sacramento restaurant last week.

California Nurses Association lobbyist Stephanie Roberson filed a complaint with the Senate Rules Committee, said Bonnie Castillo, executive director for the nurses' union.

Castillo said the incident

occurred Aug. 13 during a fundraising event at the Diplomat Steakhouse, a bar and restaurant across the street from the California Capitol. The restaurant escorted a man, allegedly Anderson, out of the restaurant for threatening to strike a woman, a restaurant spokesman told The Sacramento Bee .

“This threat was observed by restaurant staff who immediately

intervened and escorted the male out without further incident,” spokesman Patrick Harbison said.

Anderson called the incident a “misunderstanding” and said his comments weren't directed at Roberson.

“I have the utmost respect for Stephanie and I sincerely regret my word choice that was not directed at her. I welcome the Rules Committee investigation to clear

up this misunderstanding,” he said Tuesday in a statement.

Anderson is the latest California lawmaker to face accusations of inappropriate conduct or behavior.

The state Legislature has been reexamining its harassment policies since last year, when nearly 150 women signed a letter detailing what it said was a pervasive culture of harassment by men at the Capitol.

Three male lawmakers resigned

and at least one female lawmaker is the target of an investigation over groping allegations.

Anderson, of Alpine, is prevented by term limits from seeking reelection. He's now running for a state tax board called the Board of Equalization.

The California Nurses Association called on him to resign and end his campaign. Castillo said the union is reviewing legal action.

Improving America’s HEART Health Must Be Our Top Priority

By Sean C. Bowers HEART (Humanity Equality Acceptance Responsiveness Thankfulness) is an acronym for the type of heart protections America professes to have in abundance, grandfathered in from our founding fathers’ principles, constitutionalized and “Bill-of-Righted” into our nation’s permanent future, to prevent corporate corruption of her heart health.

America, the patient, is approaching the point of no return where companies vote, rig and buy elections wholesale through unlimited funding, lobbying, and a general ransacking of public elections, the Republic, and our governmental system. The safeguards were put in place to prevent such unfettered greed and gross mismanagement, that could reduce America’s heart to a bottomless, line-itemized deduction. Are we the nation, that will be forever known as the worldwide leader in military bases that we’ve built, and countless number of victims along the way we’ve enslaved and “kill’t”?

Another HEART is “Humility Equitably Attracting Respectful Trustworthiness.” That’s where the American Country Club-wannabe-leadership loses the masses, becoming the endless pursuit of ever over-reaching, too-far reaching, then preaching down at the common man, without the “Common Sense” about which Thomas Paine wrote.

America’s “vitals,” for far too long, have been perverted to only profitability from providence by charlatans disguised and dressed up as cardiologists. These are witch-doctors, fake-news, wannabe-cardiologists, who can barely pull their own (hair) plugs.

Our Mother Earth is not America’s oyster; America is supposed to be the world’s “oyster of opportunity,” taking in the people who are the salt of the earth.

Through the “culturing process,” America helps to heal humanity’s imperfections turning them into

spiritual rewards and enhancing high ground from on heaven’s the lives of millions. highlands that was “bequeathed” This is the American HEART to us (and stolen from the Native that the rest of the world can unite Americans). with; unfortunately, A m e r i c a’s America’s current HEART now, foreign policy more than ever, Unfortunately, makes the country “Honest America’s current requires look like we’re Egalitarian “only out for No. 1.”

The droughts that can be defended from a moral have come and food will not grow.

Fires burn at the gates, as the ice melts, while those not at sea level do everything but “see level.”

Meanwhile, America’s HEART health is at a “C-level,” nowhere near strong enough to lead the world during tough times.

America’s heart health must be higher than C-level. Our current path could lead to a potentially catastrophic heart attack, thereby killing the patient. We must know by now, that it’s time to get to work.

That means ending bad HEART health practices (“Hoarding Egobased Apathy Retards Truthful” solutions) nationwide, while promoting good HEART health (“Honorable Empathy Accessible

Righteousness Triumphs”).

Do you have the HEART that it takes to love the world?

Children on the Front Lines

By Marian Wright Edelman I can make a difference!”

Every July thousands of students from Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools® sites across the country participate in the CDF Freedom Schools National Day of Social Action.

This year’s action focused on the need to vote for children and the fact that every vote matters. Though children and teenagers in Freedom Schools are too young to vote themselves, they held rallies and marches urging adults to get registered and vote for leaders this election cycle and in every election who will stand for children. Young people are refusing to sit on the sidelines as they see even children’s most basic needs under assault by many in the Administration and Congress.

I am so proud of the Freedom Schools scholars who have learned they are following in the footsteps of children and youths who were the foot soldiers and infantry of the Civil Rights Movement.

Some of their stories from the Movement are well known: six-year-old Ruby Bridges in New Orleans walked through White mobs to attend school – even praying for those jeering at her; the Little Rock Nine; the four little girls killed in the bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church.

Thousands of children were on the front lines of history.

Whether sung or unsung heroes we owe all of them a debt of gratitude.

For example, in April 1951, Black students at Robert Russa Moton High School in Prince Edward County, Virginia – led by 16-year-old Barbara Rose Johns – walked out of class to protest conditions at their segregated school. Moton was built for 180 students but had 450. Some classes were

In 1959 it closed its entire public school system and created private schools to educate the county’s White children using tuition grants from the state and tax credits from the county. No provision was made for educating the county’s Black children, forcing them to move in with relatives in nearby communities or study in makeshift schools in church basements. Prince Edward public schools remained closed for five years while legal challenges bounced between courts, and about 1,700 Black and lower-income White students struggled to find schooling elsewhere or stayed home.

Betsy DeVos’ $5 Billion Giveaway to For-Profit Colleges

By Charlene Crowell Today’s increasingly competitive global economy requires and recruits those who are highly-skilled and knowledgeable.

People understand and accept that higher education is a means to become employable, marketable, and competitive.

It is equally true that the rising costs of higher education have now forced 44 million consumers to borrow $1.4 trillion in student loans to finance their educations. This debt was often viewed as more of an investment than a cost.

That rational works so long as institutions deliver what was promised: a quality education.

No loan was ever incurred as a lifetime commitment to debt that worsened with every passing year.

Not only are consumers incurring serious debts, they are also defaulting in disturbing numbers. Student loan defaults plummet credit scores, lowering them by as much as 50-90 points, according to the Urban Institute, a DC-based research organization. As credit scores drop, the cost of any future credit goes up, making it even harder for affected consumers to manage their personal finances.

While 250,000 federal direct student loan borrowers default every quarter, guess which consumers are most likely to default: people of

color, veterans, and other low-income consumers.

In 2018, the people who a decade ago were targeted for unsustainable, high-cost mortgage loans are now being targeted by for-profit colleges for career training that fails to deliver the skills and incomes that enable to repay student loans.

The Education Department’s Gainful Employment rule, which was finalized in 2014 and took effect in 2015, requires that career and technical training programs lead to income levels that enable their students to afford their student loan repayments. It also followed the failures of for-profit institutions like Corinthian Colleges, Everest and ITT Tech that left student borrowers without degrees, credits that could not be transferred and losses to taxpayers who fund federal financial aid.

In recent days, however, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced plans to revoke this key rule and instead include additional data in the web-based resource called a College Scorecard that the Department claims is better than regulation.

“Students deserve useful and relevant data when making important decisions about their education posthigh school,” said DeVos. “That’s why instead of targeting schools simply by their tax status, this administration is

working to ensure students institutions.

more than 350,000 students graduated from substandard programs with nearly $7.5 billion in unaffordable debt.

The gainful employment rule is needed to prevent programs like these from bilking students and taxpayers.”

Additionally, a recent national consumer poll found strong concerns among voters when it comes to student loans. Conducted by Lake Research Partners and released on August 8, a majority of likely voters agreed that the amount of student loan debt represents a crisis. This view held strong majorities whether the respondents were independents (67 percent agreement), Republicans (57 percent agreement), or Democrats (71 percent agreement).

“Because of DeVos’ cozy relationship with this industry,” noted Ashley Harrington, a policy counsel with the Center for Responsible Lending, “low-performing programs will continue to operate and ensnare hopeful students into assuming large debt with little hope of repayment. This will cost students and taxpayers almost $5 billion over the next decade, profits that will land almost exclusively in the hands of the for-profit college sector.”

Utah Firefighter Died After Plane Made Drop

By Don Thompson and Lindsay Whitehurst SACRAMENTO—A firefighter from Utah was killed last week from falling tree debris after a modified airliner dropped thousands of gallons of flame-suppressing liquid on the area where he was helping battle California's largest-ever wildfire, according to a preliminary report from investigators obtained by The Associated Press.

Battalion Chief Matthew Burchett was struck by debris on Aug. 13 at the Mendocino Complex Fire, according to the report by California fire officials, while three other firefighters received minor injuries.

Services for the 42-yearold suburban Salt Lake City firefighter were held Monday

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: ENGINEERING 101

in Utah. Burchett's 7-yearold son, Griffin, carried his father's helmet underneath his arm as he entered the funeral.

The two-paragraph investigative summary calls for immediate changes, saying firefighters must keep out of areas with overhead hazards when planes are dropping flame retardant.

California's firefighting agency said firefighters already are trained to do that and could not say what went wrong, citing an ongoing investigation.

Burchett was one of Utah's most knowledgeable wildland firefighters and was careful about his surroundings, said Ryan Love, a spokesman for the Unified Fire Authority that covers most Salt Lake City suburbs.

“This was not a lack of knowledge by any means,” Love said. “It sounds like a pure accident.”

Burchett had been a firefighter since high school graduation and thrived in the tough conditions: sleeping on the ground, eating crew members' rations and working to protect people, his family and friends said.

They described him as a sharp, hardworking leader with an infectious grin and unassuming manner who had recovered from a stroke

in 2015.

His brother and fellow firefighter Dominic Burchett said he died a hero doing what he loved. He had an uncanny ability to “‘weasel' his way into extra work where the action was,” his brother said with a smile.

Cliff Allen, president of the union representing California's wildland firefighters, said fire supervisors should have made sure firefighters were well clear of the drop zone or that their positions were clearly marked for the pilot of the modified airliner dropping the liquid—in this case, either a modified DC10 or a 747—and for the pilot of the planes that guide the huge aircraft.

There could have been a radio miscommunication or the crew may not have heard or chose to ignore the radio warning, he said.

Allen cautioned that it's not clear from the preliminary report whether the tree was weakened from the fire or from the drop or if the firefighters were hit by fire retardant slurry, which is a mixture of water, fertilizer and red dye.

“Anytime you're working in trees, you have trees that are fire-weakened, then strong winds or water or retardant drops could potentially cause them to fall

and possibly injure folks,” Allen said. “It's often referred to as ‘widow makers.”'

He and other state fire spokesmen did not disclose the type of aircraft was involved in Burchett's death.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection at times uses modified DC-10s that can drop 12,000 gallons of slurry, 12 times the amount carried by its standard smaller air tanker. It can lay a swath of fire retardant as wide as a football field for as long as a mile.

Cal Fire says the modified 747 can drop 24,000 gallons, double that of the DC-10. It uses a system that can release the slurry under pressure or as gently as falling rain from an altitude as low as 400 feet.

Firefighters who can't get out of the way are trained to lie face down toward the oncoming aircraft, helmet on, chinstrap secured, one hand holding the top of the helmet as it takes the brunt of the impact, Cal Fire spokesman Scott McLean said.

The firefighter's legs should be spread to provide stability, because the force of the falling slurry and the air turbulence can otherwise lift a firefighter off the ground.

“If you're in that particular area and you can't leave, you want to get to a safe position,” McLean said.

collecting much-needed blood donations.

Donor Relations Specialist Robert Dennis from United Blood Service of Ventura County said his organization is proud to assist the Battle of the Badges.

He said the organization also checked blood pressure of donors.

“Since our phlebotomist checks blood pressure and hemoglobin, we thought it would be a local service we can provide,” he said.

The battle was raging on, he said, with the Oxnard Police Department pulling ahead of the Oxnard Fire Department.

“Overall, it’s great they’re getting together and working for the social good of our city,”

he said.

Paul Grayson was giving blood for the first time and admitted that he was a little afraid.

“I was given an email,” he said. “I work for the City of Oxnard in the traffic engineering division.”

Dennis added there had been some local disasters, and during the summer months the blood supply goes drastically low.

“His donation goes twice as far in these summer months,” he said. “It’s important that we make sure we have enough blood in stock for the hospitals, especially for premature babies and mothers who are giving birth.”

Grayson was eyeing the

snacks the organization provides after a donation.

“I want the Chex mix,” he said.

Oxnard resident Judy Lopez saw the mobile blood donation vehicle at McDonald's and the police station and took it as a sign to give blood.

“I’m here to donate,” she said. “Like he (Dennis) said, everybody needs blood, and you never know. It’s useful for somebody else. Why not, share?”

She wanted a bag of pretzels after her donation.

“They look great,” she said.

Phlebotomist Khris Hope was taking donations and said everyone was cooperative.

“We have a lot of walkin donors and also our appointment donors coming in,” he said. “They are giving the gift of life.”

He loves working in the healthcare industry.

“Knowing the fact that everyone is coming out here to volunteer and helping out others in need,” he said.

Dennis said if someone missed the Battle of the Badges, but still wants to donate, they should visit unitedbloodservice.org and visit the “go local” tab.

“You type in your area code, and that will bring up blood drives in your local area,” he said. “We service the tricounty area, from Simi Valley, Agoura, and Westlake to Santa Maria and San Ynez.”

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

HEALTH

New Study Provides Critical Insights On Unique Health Needs of African Americans ORLANDO, Fla.—African Americans express more motivation to pursue a healthier lifestyle than non-African Americans, yet are less likely to describe themselves as being in good health, according to recent findings from the African American Health Engagement Study (AAHES), a collaboration of Pfizer, the National Medical Association (NMA) and the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA).

The AAHES study examines the health attitudes and behaviors of African Americans and reveals important health-related cultural differences compared to other non-African American respondent groups. Areas of focus in the study include spiritual health relative to other dimensions of health; awareness of and attitudes towards clinical trial participation; perception of state of health; and level of motivation to take action on health.

The AAHES research, which commenced in 2017, is designed to garner insights that could inform meaningful and effective actions to increase health equity in African American communities. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control, African Americans face a greater risk of death at almost every stage of life compared with other American racial and ethnic groups, and African Americans overall have a life expectancy more than three years shorter than that of non-African Americans.

“Our mission is to ensure access to the highest quality of healthcare for persons of color,” said Eric J. Williams, DNP, RN, CNE, FAAN, President, National Black Nurses Association. “Our participation in the study helps us better understand health attitudes and behaviors of African Americans. Through our partnership with Pfizer and the National Medical Association, we are working to develop a sustainable plan of action that will make an impact on critical disparities that affect the health of our community.”

Key findings of the AAHES study include: • 84% of African American study participants described themselves as “highly motivated to improve overall health,” compared with 76% of nonAfrican American participants.

Moreover, 75% of African American respondents claimed to be taking some action to stay healthy, compared to only 52% of nonAfrican American respondents.

• 67% of African Americans surveyed agreed with the statement “I will do better on my health tomorrow,” compared with 53% of non-African Americans surveyed.

• 36% of all African American study participants ranked their overall health (including physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual health) as “very good” or “excellent,” compared to 43% of study participants in other groups.

• 79% of African American study participants viewed spiritual health as extremely or very important to overall health and wellness, compared to 59% of non-African American participants.45% of African Americans reported being satisfied with their body regardless of weight, compared to 36% of respondents in other groups.

• 87% of African American participants believe African Americans are not well-represented in clinical trials, but only 33% of African American women and 41% of African American men stated that they are willing to enroll in a trial if it means changing or starting medication.

When it comes to trusted sources

According to the African American Health Engagement Study (AAHES), a collaboration of Pfizer, the National Medical Association (NMA) and the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA), 75 percent of African American respondents claimed to be taking some action to stay healthy, compared to only 52 percent of non-African American respondents.

of health and medical information, African American respondents said that they place their highest level of trust in medical organizations focused on African Americans.

African Americans' least trusted sources for health related information are widely used media channels, such as cable news and commercial broadcast networks.

Doris Browne, M.D. President, National Medical Association, said, “As the collective voice for African American physicians and the leading voice for parity and justice in medicine and increasing health equity, the National Medical Association, in alliance with the National Black Nurses Association and Pfizer, will work together to address the underlying causes of health inequity with greater creativity, innovation, and precision.”

The death rates for African

American women from heart disease and breast cancer are far greater than that of other women in

African Americans face a greater risk of death at almost every stage of life compared with other American racial and ethnic groups.

CDC

America (CDC Health, United States 2016 Report). African American men of all ages experience higher mortality than men of other races and ethnicities and have significantly higher rates of malignancies such as

prostate cancer (CDC Health, United States 2016 Report).

“We see our partnership with the National Black Nurses Association and the National Medical Association as a critical way to increase trust and communication and better meet the health needs of African Americans,” said Freda Lewis-Hall, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, Pfizer. “Certain medical conditions are more prevalent and devastating for African Americans and other populations of color; diversity in clinical trials is one critical approach to closing disparity gaps. African Americans account for 12 percent of the U.S. population but make up only five percent of clinical trial participants. When it comes to increasing African American participation in clinical trials, we cannot overstate the importance of trust and collaboration.”

Birth Control App Highlights Emerging Health Tech Market

By Kelvin Chan LONDON (AP)—The condom, the pill and now, the smartphone?

Natural Cycles, a mobile fertility app, this month became the first ever digital contraceptive device to win FDA marketing approval. Women take their temperatures and track their menstrual cycle on the app, which uses an algorithm to determine when they're fertile and should abstain from unprotected sex or use protection. In effect, it's a form of the rhythm or calendar method.

The Swedish startup says it's effective and lets women avoid side effects common with other methods like birth control pills. But reports of unwanted pregnancies and investigations by authorities in two countries in Europe, where it received EU certification in 2017, have raised questions about marketing what is essentially a health monitor as a contraceptive.

Natural Cycles boasts more than 900,000 users, and such fast growth underscores risks for regulators and concerns among health professionals as they grapple with the rapidly emerging market for mobile and digital health applications.

“Apps are incredibly popular and there's nothing inherently wrong about using tech to support our health,” said Bekki Burbidge, deputy chief executive of the Family Planning Association, a British sexual health organization. “But they're also an area that is fairly unregulated and it can be hard to sort the good, evidence- and research-based apps from the bad.”

The app is similar to hundreds of other period trackers already available, most of which are aimed at helping women conceive.

But FDA approval means it can be marketed as a mobile contraceptive, giving it an edge in the mobile medical apps market, which is forecast to grow to $11.2 billion by 2025, up from at $1.4 billion in 2016, according to BIS Research. The

makers of Natural Cycles acknowledge it's not would get pregnant over one year. The “typical 100 percent effective and some women might use” failure rate, which factors in human error, still get pregnant even if used perfectly. was 6.5 percent.

The FDA said that if the app is used charges $10 a month to use it. Its claims were correctly all the time, 1.8 percent of women called into question in January, after Swedish

regulators started investigating reports that 37 women who used it became pregnant anyway.

The Swedish Medical Product Agency said it's looking into whether the number of unwanted pregnancies falls within the app's claimed effectiveness rate, and the investigation is expected to wrap up in September.

Natural Cycles said that as a condition of EU certification, it must continue monitoring user data, which it says show that the typical-use effectiveness rate remains at 93 percent.

“We care deeply each and every time one of our users becomes pregnant,” the company said in a statement. “One of the ongoing challenges with all forms of contraception is that there is always a statistical chance of unintended pregnancy, since no method is 100 percent effective.”

FDA spokeswoman Deborah Kotz said the agency was aware of the Swedish reports but felt they were consistent with its knowledge of risks associated with the app.

“An increase in the absolute numbers of unintended pregnancies is expected with a growing number of users,” she said.

Britain's Advertising Standards Authority, meanwhile, says it's looking into whether paidfor Facebook posts that claim Natural Cycles is a “highly accurate contraceptive app” and “clinically tested alternative to birth control methods” are misleading.

“We have launched a formal investigation and will publish our findings in due course,” the authority said.

Burbidge said more outside research into fertility apps is needed because “at the moment there's not enough independent evidence” on their reliability. She added that women using such apps need to be motivated and aware of factors that can make it less effective, such as travel, alcohol, stress or not getting enough sleep, which can all affect temperature readings.

“There's so much you can do that makes it not perfect,” she said.

ENTERTAINMENT Producer Who Worked with Ms. Franklin Recalls Great Performances

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody NEW YORK (AP)—When Ken Ehrlich, the longtime producer of the Grammys and other awards shows, worked with the Obama administration on a concert honoring women at the White House, first lady Michelle Obama laid down one rule.

“You aren't doing a tribute to women in my house without Aretha Franklin,” Ehrlich recalls Obama telling him.

And so Franklin—a longtime friend of Ehrlich—was added to the 2014 “Women of Soul” bill, which included Patti LaBelle, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monae and Tessanne Chin. Despite those illustrious names and subsequent rousing performances, it was Franklin who of course stole the show. In her closing performance, Franklin performed “Amazing Grace”—while wearing a fur coat—and took the White House to church with a foot-stomping, handclapping rendition that continued even after show officially ended.

“When she got going, and she was in the spirit, which she would get when she was singing gospel . you could start her, but stopping her was an entirely different story,” Ehrlich said by phone on Thursday, hours after learning of Franklin's death at the age of 76.

That moment was

just one of the magical moments Ehrlich helped orchestrate with Franklin over the years. The most famous, certainly, was when Ehrlich was producing the Grammys in 1998 and Luciano Pavarotti was scheduled to sing “Nessun Dorma” during the broadcast—but then bowed out due to illness just as the show was about to air live.

Ehrlich quickly started running through the many performers on hand who could fill the time— he first thought of asking Stevie Wonder to do something amazing, as Wonder is known to do. But then Ehrlich recalled Franklin had performed at a tribute concert to Pavarotti two nights earlier, and sung “Nessun Dorma.” She was already due to do a short performance of “Respect” for a “Blues Brothers” anniversary number—perhaps she would fill in for the famed opera tenor?

So he went to Franklin's cramped dressing room—she had a small one because she was not the main performer—and interrupting

her fried chicken dinner to make his last-minute request.

“I think I said, ‘How would you like to sing twice tonight?”' he recalled. “Then there was a silence, and she said, ‘OK, I'll do it.”

Just before she went on stage, Ehrlich remembers her squeezing his hand and saying to him, “This is gonna be fun.”

It was more than fun: It became one of her greatest performances, part of music history, and added to her already legendary status, with the Queen of Soul so deftly performing the famous aria.

The next day, Ehrlich and Franklin spoke in an emotional phone call that had them both on the

verge of tears.

“She said, ‘I knew this was going to be something different, but I didn't know it would be so great,”' Ehrlich remembers.

Ehrlich produced other Grammy shows and events that featured Franklin performances.

He praised her musicianship. A dazzling piano player in her own right, she only wanted the best performing with her, particularly on drums.

“If you weren't with her timewise, she'd let you have it,” he recalled.

One of his favorite performances was one he orchestrated with Elton John in 1993, where the two played on opposite pianos and performed John's “Border Song”—a mesmerizing duet.

Ehrlich said years after that— including this year—when he and John spoke, one of them would always say, "Remember that night with Aretha?”

Ehrlich said no matter what happens in music, Franklin will always be the model that singers and musicians would look to for excellence.

“People are gonna be trying their hardest to both remember her and wanna do what she did” he said.

“I've seen it all my life now. I saw it with Whitney, I see it with Beyonce . I see it with Carrie Underwood.

I see it with every genre. I think both men and women, but women particularly, will be singing those songs.”

He added: “Just the being that was Aretha Franklin will go on forever.”

Washburn Professor: Langston Hughes Was Year Older

T:5.5”

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)—A professor in Kansas says that poet Langston Hughes may have been born a year earlier that what's on record.

Hughes is commonly thought to have been born in 1902, spending his childhood in Topeka and Lawrence, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

But Washburn University professor Eric McHenry said he unearthed evidence that Hughes was actually born a year earlier.

He said a Black newspaper called The Plaindealer had an entry from 1901 that indicated “Little Langston Hughes” was under the weather but improving.

The “ephemeral gossip” made a “vibrant historic record,” said McHenry, who teaches creative writing and poetry.

McHenry said such a change can tell more about Hughes and the time he lived in, though its significance is an ongoing mystery.

Hughes began school in 1908. One theory McHenry has is that Hughes' mother may have intentionally enrolled him a year later so that he was physically and developmentally ahead of his classmates at the white Topeka school he attended. The second theory is that Hughes reinvented himself as being a year younger when he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in high school.

There is no evidence Hughes acknowledged the difference in his birth year.

on the deluge of heroin and crack cocaine that flooded her Brooklyn neighborhood in the 70’s and 80’s.

“I don’t think that I really do anything for me, per se,” MC Lyte said. “It’s about getting out there, [using] the MC Lyte name, to form partnerships with bigger entities and to gain access to resources and sharing those resources with the people who need them the most.”

Hip-hop pioneers like Salt-N-Pepa and Rakim inspired MC Lyte to partake in the music industry at such an early age. MC Lyte also vividly remembered how the Bronx-born, hip-hop group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five helped to shape her storytelling rap style.

MC Lyte said that “The Message,” the Furious Five classic featuring Melly Mel, painted a picture of life in the Bronx that was very different from her life in Brooklyn, where she was born and raised.

“The Message” influenced

MC Lyte to gravitate towards the storytelling aspect of hiphop. MC Lyte described “Lyte as a Rock,” her first album, as “a book of poems and short stories.”

“It was easy to get into a [creative] space and just write,” MC Lyte said. “My mother made me write an essay for whatever I wanted to do.”

MC Lyte said that young artists, who are pursuing careers in the entertainment business, should educate themselves about royalties, build a trustworthy team and seek legal advice when necessary.

“Never sign anything without counsel and always sign your own checks,” MC Lyte advised.

Reminiscing about her career in the music industry, if given the opportunity to change or do anything different, MC Lyte said that she would have said “yes” more often and been more open to trying new music genres and collaborating with unexpected artists.”

Hip-hop pioneer MC Lyte is the national spokesperson for the National Newspaper Publishers Association’s (NNPA) Discover The Unexpected (DTU) Journalism Fellowship program.

Her passion about education and her desire to create opportunities for HBCU students are two of the many reasons she partnered with the NNPA and Chevrolet, the program’s sponsor.

As she continues her great acts of philanthropy, MC Lyte said that music and journalism are much alike, as they are both used to tell stories.

MC Lyte became great friends with Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., the president and CEO of the NNPA, through his work in hip-hop and civil rights.

When she got the call about the NNPA’s DTU program, she said that she was happy to help out; she said that representing the DTU program is a great fit.

When it comes to her philanthropic work that grew out of her music career, MC Lyte said that she always wanted to give back. That sense of altruism manifested early on in her music career with her hit single “I Cram to Understand U,” which included a strong anti-drug message, geared towards the Black community.
