COMMUNITY EXAMINES THE FUTURE OF GANG INJUNCTIONS

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

OXNARD—The Oxnard Community Relations Commission had a lively meeting, Aug. 20, as the Oxnard Police Department used the agenda as a venue to get resident feedback about gang injunctions within the City of Oxnard.

Assistant Chief Eric Sonstegard outline the history of gang injunctions in the City of Oxnard.

The event brought a wide range of residents to the forefront, as residents applauded the presentation by the police while others refuted the report and said it doesn’t do enough.

A gang injunction is a court order that deems a gang a public nuisance and spells out behavior limits for people served with those injunctions.

Assistant Chief Eric Sonstegard, who reviewed the history behind civil gang injunctions in Oxnard.

In 2001-2005, the City of Oxnard experienced high levels of violent gang assaults and gang-related homicides, and in response to those figures, the police obtained its first civil gang injunction against the Colonia Chiques street gang in 2005.

The police obtained a second gang injunction against the Southside Chiques street gang in Oct. 2006.

In 2008, the courts ruled the curfew prohibition unconstitutional which meant

they had to re-write the two gang injunctions. The police obtained amended injunctions for the Colonia Chiques and Southside Chiques in May and Oct. 2008.

“We spoke to the city council in July about administrative process having to do with our two civil gang injunctions,” he said. “At that time, the council thought it was a good time to engage in a more global discussion about discussions and the future of injunctions in the City of Oxnard.”

As a police department, he said the Oxnard Police Department is always willing to embrace those discussions, and that led to the community discussion at the Community Relations Commission.

“That’s what brought us here,” he said. “This is the first of what we believe are going to be several discussions over the next month or two, which means we get out, provide some facts and education n Community, see page 6

Downtown Oxnard Car Show Benefits At-Risk Youth

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD—Classic cars, trucks, hot rods, lots of fellowship and beautiful weather made the Second Annual Downtown Oxnard Car Show an afternoon that was enjoyed by all, Aug. 26.

The event, hosted by the Oxnard Police Department, benefitted DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs & Graffiti), an afterschool program that offers at-risk youngsters plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and repair autos. The program is a thriving community policing project that boasts over 400 graduates who have moved on to college, technical school and the workforce with a bright future ahead of them.

Oxnard Police Department Sergeant Charles Woodruff cofounded DRAGG with Sergeant Dan Shrubb and said the car show had many of his alumni working the celebration.

“We start school Sept. 11, so

we’re in a transition where we have a new class coming up,” he said.

“The alumni come back and hang out to see what we’re doing. A lot of them like to come back and tell us what they are doing in life as far as jobs, careers, or college.”

He said the classes are structured by the Ventura County Office of Education that offers the teaching component of the program.

“The students get five credits for attending the class,” he said. “The main premise of the program is to get them exposed to the automotive industry. We have workbooks and go from changing the oil to brakes and more extensive projects.”

As the class progresses, Woodruff said they get more projects to complete.

“Right now, we have a righthand drive 1967 London taxi sitting in the shop ready for this year,” he said. “It will blow their mind, but that’s the idea, to show them what you can do not only

with this job but with this career, the automotive industry. It’s not’s just changing oil or tires; it’s so much more. We just got two kids hired at Vista Ford.”

Woodruff was born in Oxnard and has spent 22 years on the force.

“I was a gang officer for six years and Sergeant Dan Shrubb and I saw there was something else we can do besides give them a ticket, putting them in jail and seeing the cycle,” Woodruff said.

"There has to be something we can do to prevent this from getting to that point.”

The duo like cars, he said, which made DRAGG a perfect match.

“We get to build some of the best cars around that are shown off now around the world, and they (the youngsters) get to be a part of it,” he said. “The cars are our mascots, and they break the barrier.”

Students who don’t want to talk with a police officer because they’re standing next to a police car, he said they see the DRAGG

vehicle and ask what’s going on.

“It breaks the wall down, and now we’re talking,” he said. “It happens every year, the classes start out, and the kids are a little rigid and scared of us. By the end of the school year, they are calling us nicknames, texting us and we’ve had situations where their girlfriend is pregnant, and they haven’t even talked to their family yet.”

Woodruff said DRAGG is more forgiving than a traditional school for children trying to break the cycle of gang violence.

“Schools have the rigid rules,” he said. “If you bring marijuana, we’ll see you later, and it’s automatically off to the bad school. For us, we know that kids are going to make mistakes.”

Oxnard Police Department Volunteer Wes Hathaway said the volunteers take part in many activities.

“We have an at-risk registration for adults and juveniles,” he said. n Downtown Oxnard, see page 6

The Detroit Sportsman’s Congress lead singer Matt Sayles knocks out a Bob Seger hit during the Concert by the Sea.

Concert by the Sea Finishes 2018 with Lots of Dancing

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The final Concert by the Sea for 2018 was a festive event at Peninsula Park, Aug. 25, as the beautiful weather brought lots of people out to enjoy the summer evening.

The Detroit Sportsman’s Congress entertained the crowd, and mixed country, rock ‘n’ roll hits, original songs and rock-a-billy music that got the crowd charged up, as some took to the lawn and showed off their dance skills.

Guitarist and vocalist Matt Sayles led the band and said he’s lived in Ventura since 2009.

I don’t play the trombone too much anymore, and I’m sure the rest of the guys in the band appreciate that.

“The band is named after a gun club I worked in as a kid in the Detroit area,” he said. “A friend of mine I used to work with, I told him stories about some of the crazy people I used to work with there, and we thought it is a great name for a band, so that’s what we ran with.”

He said the band has an affection for Americana and spent much of the evening play rock-a-billy music, to the crowd’s delight.

“I love roots rock ‘n’ roll,” he said.

“It goes back to the 1950’s, and it’s the blending of blues music and hillbilly music. Elvis’ first record, the 'B' side of that was “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” Carl Perkins and those guys started playing all that stuff, it was all old bluegrass tunes that they started blending with blues music and it turned into rock ‘n’ roll.”

Sayles said seeing people dance makes it fun for the band.

Attendees at the Ventura County Community College District Associated Student Leadership Summit gather for a photo in front of the fountains at the district office in Camarillo.

Student Summit Inspires Campus Leaders

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com CAMARILLO— The Ventura County Community College District Associated Student Leadership Summit, Aug. 24, was a powerful event that both cultivated and inspired the student body through a series of exercises that encouraged them to use their voices to the betterment of their education and the education of their fellow students.

The Associated Students of Ventura College from the Oxnard, Ventura and Moorpark campuses gathered in the district office in Camarillo. They shared ideas and engaged the leaders of the college who were equally inspired by all the energy in the room.

The event was kicked off by Patti Blair from the chancellor’s office, who said the summit is a culmination of a group of visionaries who brought the idea together.

“This is all about you today, and we would like you to get as much as possible out of today, and that’s why we’re here,” she said to the students.

“We have been planning this for a long time.”

Blair said her group of visionaries has been meeting and talking about the summit since 2017.

“We’ve been talking a lot about you,” she said. “Today, we stand here as good representatives of what leaders are.”

The group learned the attributes of a good leader, how to find their voices and shared ideas about how to enhance their experience while attending the Ventura County Community College District.

“When we have lunch together, I want you to look at the leaders who are here, and their careers.

They achieved one thing,” Blair said.

“They are successful. They are here to provide you with the most awesome

experience at a community college, and then our job is done. When you think about your whole life, we hope you’ll always look back at these two years you had and think about what you took from them.”

Ventura College Foundation Executive Director Anne King enjoyed lunch with the students and got to learn first-hand how they want to make their college experiences better.

“It’s extraordinary, the courage these students have,” she said.

“We were at a table where the five students decided to get into Photo by Chris Frost student government and take Student Government Academic Affairs that opportunity to expand their Director Ashley Avakian writes down contribution, and that’s incredible,” the similarities her group has during a leadership building exercise at the she said. “Now they are saying they Ventura County Community College have to talk and be leaders because District Associated Student Leadership they have this responsibility and Summit. students are coming to them.”

student governments and make those connections. Developing that voice helped me understand what leadership meant.”

He said being a good leader means you can listen.

“If you’re a leader, you’re not just a leader of yourself; you’re a leader of people,” he said. “It’s being able to find out what it is the people you represent need. That is the core of leadership and using your voice on their behalf.”

After the summit, Student Government Academic Affairs Director Ashley Avakian said she came away from the event with much good advice about being a leader.

“I’ve never been one formally before, so there is a lot to work with after this workshop,” she said. “I also learned about my counterparts and what kind of things they are implementing and how they see what a good leader is.”

She has something inside of her, and because of the workshop, Ashley is ready to reach out to her fellow students on campus.

“I can be shy but doing this reminded me that I need to suppress that, get out of my comfort zone and reach out to the students,” she said. “I think I’ll be better at it. I’ve already participated in different events where I had to approach people, so I am getting more accustomed to it.”

Rahyen Heilmann, director of budget and finance, said the workshop adds civic responsibility to his role at the college.

“I begin with the end in mind,” he said. “As I fulfill my role this year, I make sure that I keep my end goals in mind the entire time and leave the school a better place.”

His passion is to create a foundation that will serve as a legacy.

“It will allow other people to keep moving forward,” he said.

just hanging out in the studio all day doing this into a microphone,” he said.

Music is a big part of his family, he said, and Sayles started playing the trombone in the fourth grade.

“I started playing guitar in high school and didn’t start writing music until I was in college,” he said. “I don’t play the trombone too much anymore, and I’m sure the rest of the guys in the band appreciate that.”

Sue Nicewander and her husband Kurt attend the concerts every week, and they were serious about dancing to the music.

“It’s good,” Sue said. “They need to play more upbeat music. We like Texas swing music to dance to.”

The couple dances as often as they can, Sue said, and they usually go to the Sunset Suppers in Port Hueneme on Tuesday night during the summer months.

“We also go to Channel City Jazz Society and the West Coast Traditional Jazz Society on Rincon Mountain on Sundays,” Kurt said. “I play drums for traditional jazz. I am trying to get 'Doctor Jazz' started again because I am a retiring family doctor.”

He said when playing, he plays in the key of D (drums) and it’s cool.

Judy Pigman and her husband Mark were relaxing and enjoying the show. The couple were ready to enjoy the evening and had a pair of custom made top hats from Lucitidy in Santa Barbara.

“It’s a once a year festival at Oak Park,” she said. “They are one of a kind. The maker never repeats them. I have six top hats, and that’s the one that matched my outfit.”

The couple was enjoying the last concert of the year.

“We wanted to make sure we took in the last weekend of this series until next year,” she said.

The hats they were wearing are reminiscent of the tophats that Tom Petty wore on stage.

“We saw his last show,” he said. “His friends were trying to help him with a broken hip.”

Tracy Carstensen got her kids involved with the evening and shared a dance with her children, Remington and Elliotte “The kids are having a ball and were begging me to come out and dance with them,” Tracy said. “They said I need an adult to dance with.”

Remington said he likes music and dancing.

“I like dancing with my mom, my sister and my daddy,” Remington said.

“I love my whole family.”

Tracy loved bringing the kids to the park to enjoy the music and had simple, but fun, plans for after the show.

“We’re going to go have a little dinner; then we’ll all go home, cuddle up, say our prayers, go to bed and be fresh for church tomorrow because it’s Sunday,” she said.

NEWS Lions Club Fundraiser Rocks Downtown

Event Funds Multiple Charities

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD—Great drinks, food, music, dancing and a silent auction and a party atmosphere highlighted the 1st Annual Wine, Craft Beer, Tequila and Art Trail at Heritage Square in downtown Oxnard, Aug. 18.

The event, hosted by the Downtown Oxnard Lions Club, drew a massive crowd with all the proceeds going to the many programs the Lions sponsor.

The Lions Club is known for its five charity pillars in the community, including raising money for people with diabetes, the environment, eyesight and eye care, and the downtown club also focuses on helping the homeless.

Downtown Lions Club First President Tom Garcia said the downtown club began in 2016 and said this is their first foray into such an event.

“We have 10 food vendors, four wineries, two breweries, and two tequila vendors here at Heritage Square,” he said. “It is a beautiful place.”

He said every club has a signature event, like the Ventura Lions, who do a craft event at the Ventura County Fair, which took years before it came to fruition.

“This is in our backyard,” he said.

“A wine trail concept hasn’t been done in a few years,” he said. “Last year, we were supposed to do this event, and we ran out of time as far as putting it together.”

The club got a good start in 2018, he said, and all the vendors are Ventura based.

“They are all mom-and-pop vendors, but they are delicious,” Garcia said. “We have two tequila

Partiers at the 1st Annual Wine, Craft Beer, Tequila and Art Trail event at Heritage Square.

vendors who are based in Oxnard, and they grow their crop in Aliso, so this is a local event. We got together at my restaurant this morning, Thomas Café, that’s our Lions Club home base.”

He said there is much need in the community and that keeps the Downtown Oxnard Lions Club moving forward.

“I want to stamp this as a successful event,” he said. “It’s working with all my Lions, all the vendors and my volunteers and all the members of the community. It started with nothing and look, it’s amazing.”

New Lions Club member Chris Prato enjoyed doing the electric slide with the group.

“I felt it, and I had to do it, that’s it,” he said. “My stepdad is part of the Lions Club, and he said to check it out, so I did, and they are great gentlemen and good mentors. I have a good time with them.”

He loves the diverse group of people at the event and said the wine, beer, and food are fantastic.

“It’s everything,” he said.

Brisi Favela accompanied Prato, and said she loved the beer and wine,

but said she wasn’t going to dance.

“I don’t know how to dance,” she laughed.

Carpinteria Lions Club member Daniel Estraea said he was having a fantastic time.

“We have to support each other,” he said. “I didn’t realize how many vendors are here locally in Oxnard.

It’s a good thing.”

He is a beer fan.

“If you throw me some wine, I will try it out,” he said.

Dorothy Sims made the trip from Malibu for the event and had a great time dancing.

“It’s the wine, and also the tequila and the beer,” she joked.

“My friend's boyfriend Thomas is one of the Lions, and it’s awesome,” she said.

Agoura Hills resident Suzanne Sager likes to dance during social occasions.

“The ambiance is beautiful here,” she said. “The whole setting is lovely, and they are so generous with their wine and food. The people are nice.

This is a great event.”

Malibu resident Oregon Hunter called his dancing skills primitive.

“I’m the designated driver,” he said. “Discovering Oxnard (is the best part),” he said.

Annie Church from the Copa Cubana brought a delicious sample of food from her restaurant.

“I am having a wonderful time,” she said. “It’s Caribbean food and has spices, but it not hot. It’s mild spice and everything blends together.”

She said the items available at the event required some thought.

“Some of the things we make are pretty messy, so we brought food that isn’t going to move around too much,” she said. “We went to an event last night, and all the vendors that were there said our food was the best.”

Church has been in the restaurant business for over 30 years.

“I’m a chef,” she said. “I could have been anything in the Navy, but my heart is in cooking.”

Mark Caviezel owns Red Tandem Brewery in Oxnard Shores brought his Kickstand Kolsch, and his C-Hag IPA beers and people lined up for a sample.

“We’re very good at coming up with bad beer names, and we also

have a couple of good beer names that come out of the process,” he said.

“This IPA is named after the hops, named for every commercially available hop that starts with the letter C, plus warrior and Amarillo hops,” Caviezel said. “It gives balance to its wonderful complexity.”

He said they make Kickstand Kolsch with a characteristically Kolsch specialty yeast that gives it a residual suspended yeast haze.

Cavizel said the brewery pays attention to the heritage brewing styles.

“What were they doing 400500 years ago in Bavaria, because that’s usually a pretty good thing to emulate,” he said. “There is a whole lot of creativity in modern craft beer.”

He thinks the day is a fun event to be part of and meeting the people is lots of fun.

“We were working with the Lions group 16 months ago, and the original thought for this event was to do it in Aug. of last year,” he said.

“They didn’t quite make it in time, and they were thinking about doing it in Jan., but here we are today. The Oxnard Downtown Lions group is a great local group and the money goes to a lot of great local charities, which we love.”

He started home brewing about 25 years ago, he said, and his batches were five gallons for his own home and sometimes friends and family.

“A little over 4.5 years ago, I had friends that opened a brewery in Pomona,” he said. “I took a look at that, and I took a look at other small breweries, not only as a hospitality, entertainment and art form aspect but also for the business metrics. I read about four books on the topic, and here we are today. We’ve been open a little over two years.”

Cavizel said the name started with a Red Tandem bicycle they bought for Christmas.

“At the end of the day. It was the best name we had,” he said.

Family Justice Center Is a Light for Victims

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com “If you have hope, anything is possible.” —Michael Jump That is the motto for the proposed Family Justice Center in Ventura County, a work in progress that is looking for a home.

The Family Justice Center is a one-stop shop for victims of domestic violence that meets the needs of families who are searching for that hope.

The Ventura County District Attorney’s office is building that hope and wants to break the cycle of violence in the home.

Chief Deputy District Attorney and director of Victim & Community Services Michael Jump said in 2002; the first /family Justice Center started in San Diego as a Busch admiration pilot project.

“They did four of these centers with federal money,” he said. “San Diego was the mother ship that started this model, and it was created out of their police department to deal with domestic violence homicides.”

The model, he said, caught on and there are currently 19 family justice centers in California and another 90 centers across the country.

“Now they’re popping up internationally because the EU (European Union) adopted this model, as well,” he said.

The concept makes much sense, Jump said, and he is surprised the idea didn’t start earlier.

“You are identifying a population of crime victims that are particularly vulnerable, and you’re giving them all the services they need in one place they just normally wouldn’t be able to access because of obstacles like luging little kids around, geography and obstacles that are germane to someone’s mental state when they

are in a crisis.”

The Family Justice Center reduced the domestic violence homicides in San Diego, he said, and then Alameda decided they wanted to be part of that success and they created the same-type center, and it reduced domestic violence homicides, as well.

“It went from 30 a year before the Family Justice Center opened there to 7 a year,” he said. “That’s many lives saved.”

From there, District Attorney Gregory Totten, in the wake of all the criminal justice changes and the legal landscape in California said they needed to figure out a way to get more proactive.

By nature, law enforcement is reactive,” Jump said. “Crime happens, and we deal with it. This model is a way to deal with it, assist those crime victims and meet the right here and right now needs.”

With that said, District Attorney Totten says the most impactful part of a Family Justice Center is that women coming in as a victim of domestic violence are coming in with kids in tow, that run an “extremely high risk” of becoming perpetrators or victims.

“It’s the nature of growing up in that environment and normalizing what you see,” Jump said. “The way you solve problems is through mutual combat, so we see this as a tremendous opportunity to prevent crime 10 years from now.”

The Family Justice Center breaks the cycle of domestic violence.

“We know who these kids are because they come to our walk-up window here with mom and seek restraining orders on a daily basis,” he said. “There are thousands of people a year. We know who this vulnerable population is, but as a system, we’re not doing anything

about it.”

He said currently, you must trip some threshold to get recognized and the Ventura County Family Justice Center will get the victims service as quickly as they can.

Jump said when someone comes in looking for help with a domestic violence perpetrator, will be assigned a navigator who will complete an intake with that person to identify immediate needs.

“There is going to be one pointof-contact,” he said. “That navigator is going to do a needs assessment and plan for them. These are the things you are going to need."

First and foremost, Jump said the victim needs a safe place because they can’t go back home.

“We see that all the time here with folks that walk up to our restraining order window,” he said. “If a guy commits a brutal act and he hasn’t been picked up by police, and she can’t go home because he knows where home is, so we deal with that all the time. You begin to go through that litany of things to secure that person over the short term.”

From there, Jump said they’ll start to develop long-term solutions.

“We are stabilizing that situation for that person, but going beyond that, so we are also giving them the opportunity and the tools to make independent decisions,” he said.

In addition to that, he said they want a civil family practice in the building.

“If she decides that I can’t be married anymore, that resource is right there in the building,” he said. “If she needs counseling, that resource is in the building, if she needs to get a job to take care of herself financially, that resource and career paths are there. We’re building all these service providers, and they are immediately accessible.”

The one thing they don’t want is a person to stay in a deadly situation, he said, because they don’t feel like they have any alternatives.

Jump said the situations are involved and they need a multidisciplinary approach to the problem.

Ventura County Crime Victim Assistance Program Supervisor Rachel Watkins said they deal with these problems daily.

“In our house at the District Attorney’s office we go through certain things, and after doing that, we realize that we need to connect with A, B, C and D agencies, that, of course, takes time to get a hold of the right person and make things happen,” she said. “That goal of having all the people under one roof is going to be an amazing asset for people who walk through the door.”

She said people that walk through the door of the Family Justice Center would meet them where they’re at.

“It’s not going to be our plan for them, and it’s going to be their plan,” she said. “We don’t know what’s best for them and we need to hear them out and listen to them.”

She said they might come in and not get any services, but also know they will gain insight and information. That’s something we deal with a lot.”

Most importantly, Watkins said they need to assess the situation immediately and have a face-to-face connection with them.

“It’s really hard to talk about going into a shelter, a strange place or home, over the phone with a strange woman that doesn’t know anything about your family,” she said.

Jump said they need to establish a level of trust.

“The services come to them, rather than search out and hunt down the services,” Watkins said.

Jump said there is a social calculus that occurs inside a survivor’s head after an incident.

“That calculus is if there is hope for me,” he said. “Depending on the services and opportunities presented to them, that can go one way or the other. We want to create a pathway, so folks realize there are other ways.”

He said there had been 12 domestic violence deaths since 2016.

“The result of those deaths was there are 18 kids without parents,” Jump said. “That is unacceptable. We can do better than that. If by putting all these resources together and by forming this Family Justice Center if we can prevent even one of those (deaths) the cost to society we’re saving, not to mention saving a life is tremendous.”

One criterion for the Family Justice Center is the person can’t have an open criminal case.

“Other than that, you can come in and receive all the services you want to receive,” Jump said. “The other part we need to recognize is we are not going to compel people to cooperate with law enforcement. Prosecutors, the District Attorney, and sworn officers will be in the building, so if a woman or man comes in and says I’ve got this thing going on at home, but I don’t want to go the criminal justice route with it, we’re still going to connect them to all those services. We want people to get help.”

Laughter in Any Other Language Is Just Not Funny Dr. James L. Snyder When I was in high school, I played on the volleyball team. During one practice session, I forgot to bring my sneakers. Not thinking much of it, I just played anyway.

During the practice, I stepped forward to protect the player on the front line and when he jumped, he came down on my right foot. The consequence was he smashed my big toe.

That little incident put me out of the volleyball team for the rest of the season. I had to go to the doctor and have him fix my toe. I had to go several times for him to fix it.

Consequently, my toenail on my right foot grew in crooked. It has been a painful thing ever since.

For years, I took care of it, but not too long ago I was doing more damage than help and I did not know what to do about it.

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage suggested that I go have a pedicure.

Looking at her, I said rather sarcastically, “A pedicure is for girls.

“Well,” she said rather slowly, “if you go to the doctor it will be about $300. A pedicure is around $25.

Now,” she continued, “you do the math.”

I must say it took me a long time to do the math on that one. I knew I had to have some kind of professional help with that toe. I was doing so much damage that it hurt just to walk. And, I’m not old enough to hobble around.

After a long evaluation I thought that I did not have anything to lose except, $275.

Not far from us was some kind of a Nail Salon. I went to it at least five times before I finally went in. It was a very humiliating

experience for me.

After all, I’m not a “girl.”

When I went in, finally, I noticed they were not speaking English. It turned out to be some Vietnamese family running this nail salon. When I walked in nobody was smiling, but as soon as the door shut behind me, everybody looked at me and started

smiling. What’s that all about?

Somebody started speaking in Vietnamese and then everybody looked at me and started to laugh. I too laughed.

I had a moment of hesitation and I was about to turn around and go outside as fast

as I could. It must have been the owner or manager of the nail salon who come up to me, greeted me very graciously and took me back to a chair where I was to have my pedicure.

A very nice young lady came and said something to me that I could not understand. Then she pointed to my

shoes and said something else I could not understand. I believe she wanted me to take off my shoes and socks.

I did so and while I was doing it, she got the hot water in the pan in front of the chair I was to sit in.

As soon as I took off my shoes and socks, she pointed to my feet and said something and everybody looked at me and started laughing.

She said something in English that sounded like, “Too long.” Then everybody in the salon began to chuckle.

I honestly did not know what she meant. I did not know if my toenails

were too long or if I waited too long to come and get a pedicure.

Then she started the process of a pedicure. I started feeling like a “girl.”

She was rather gracious, and knew exactly what she was doing and did a wonderful job with the pedicure. She cut my toenails like they have never been cut before.

And, there was no blood!

I never had a pedicure before and really was not sure what to expect.

Not only did she cut my toenails, but also she massaged my foot and my toes and they never felt better.

Every once in a while, she would say something in Vietnamese and everybody in the salon would look

at me and then laugh. At first, I was laughing along with them. I do not know what I was laughing at. I do suspicion that I was laughing at myself.

It began slowly to dawn on me that perhaps she was making fun of my foot. Could it be she’s never seen a “non-girl foot?”

I was feeling a little strange and thought to myself that this will be the last time I ever come here. Then when they were laughing at one point, I thought of the money involved. By coming here to this nail salon, I was saving $275.

It was then that I began to laugh, and laugh very loud.

When I went to the check out to pay for the pedicure the manager said to me, “Come back soon?” I just nodded my head thinking of the $275 I was saving. Going out the door, I found myself still laughing.

I was reminded of what David said. “Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them” (Psalm 126:2).

When I refuse to do something because of my pride, I discover that when I face up to my pride and not allow it to define me that I can discover joy.

America’s Teachers Need More Community, Parental Support

By Dr. Elizabeth Primas The latest data from the Center for American Progress shows that the average salary for an attorney is more than two times that of elementary and middle school educators.

The Washington Post reported last week that nearly 1 in 10 hosts who rent out their apartments, homes and spaces on Airbnb are teachers. Low salaries, compared with other college graduates, may inhibit highly-effective professionals from pursuing a career in education; specifically for people of color who currently make up just seven percent of public school teachers.

I come from a family of educators. My mother, both of my grandmothers, and one of my sisters were teachers.

However, the family tradition of educating children ended after me. None of my daughters, nieces, or nephews decided to pursue a career in education.

Data comprised from surveys completed during the NNPA’s National Black Parents’ Town Hall Meeting echoed this sentiment. When asked what they believed is needed to close the academic achievement gap, respondents selected community participation and funding over the acquisition of highly-effective teachers.

Many reasons have led to frustrations with teaching in the United States. Work-topay ratio, a lack of resources, and an increased focus on standardized testing has made it increasingly difficult for teachers to be highly-effective.

This year, teacher strikes broke out in several states concerning school funding and teacher pay. Teachers in Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and West Virginia left the classroom for the state house to protest the lack of resources in the profession.

NPR reported in April that teachers have begun to seek support outside of the educational bureaucracy;

forming “supply shops” where teachers can swap educational materials for free or at a dramatically reduced cost.

A first-year teacher who attended the National Black Parents’ Town Hall Meeting in Norfolk, VA, said that she stepped into the role of teaching, initially excited, but found by the end of the year she was extremely drained physically and emotionally.

“I stepped into the role, midyear, with no lesson plan. What can be done to keep teachers teaching and encourage new teachers coming into the program? I really want to teach, but there is very little support.”

Highly-effective teachers require competitive pay, professional support, and access to innovative resources.

President Barack Obama teacher quality improvement in 3 of the 26 chosen districts signed the current national measures. ESSA became there was meaningful inequity education law, the Every effective this 2018-2019 school in access to effective teachers in Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) year. math.

Today, meaningful parental engagement remains a challenge for educators.

So, this is a call to action for all parents. Let’s listen to teachers. They are calling for more support and increased pay.

Let’s attend to school meetings to find out how to provide them additional support. Let’s attend city and the state meetings to advocate for competitive pay.

Let’s vote for leaders who support the academic advancement of our children through access to additional resources. We need more teacher support, not new teachers.

Dr. Elizabeth Primas is an educator, who spent more than 40 years working towards improving education for children of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds.

Is Trump Looking Out for American Workers?

By Bill Fletcher, Jr. This may seem strange, but there are apparently unions that feel that President Donald Trump’s policies on trade are in the interests of workers in the United States. I am a bit perplexed.

If you leave aside for a moment the horrendous assaults that Trump and his Republican allies have been conducting against American workers and their unions, it is still difficult to see how Trump’s views on trade are helping American workers.

Let’s look at the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for a moment. Trump has repeatedly suggested that the U.S.—as a nation—has been the principal victim of NAFTA; that turns out to be less than true.

Workers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico have all been victimized by NAFTA. For instance, NAFTA destroyed Mexican agriculture, and forced a massive migration of Mexican farmers into the cities of Mexico and later to the U.S. Many U.S. manufacturing plants have closed and gone to border areas of northern Mexico where the workers are underpaid. Canadian

companies have left Ontario and moved to the U.S. in search of cheaper labor.

What does Trump say about this? Nothing, as a matter of fact. Instead he acts as if the people of these other countries are out to carve up the U.S. the way that you carve a turkey at Thanksgiving.

This leads to another question. If Trump is squeezing U.S. workers through his judicial appointments, destruction of worker and environmental regulations, and siding with the corporate “Right” against workers, why would anyone assume that in dealing with NAFTA negotiations or negotiations with China that he would be particularly concerned about the interests of U.S. workers?

I suppose that I look at it this way. If the neighborhood bully regularly assaults me and then one day comes to me and says that “we” should join together against some people on another block, why would I believe them? In fact, why would I believe that my interests and those of the bully are at all aligned?

“We register them and keep track of them, so if they go missing the officers out in the field have a registration, so they know whom they’re looking for and are easily found.”

The volunteers also participate in shredding documents and disposing of prescription medication.

“Anywhere they could use volunteer help, we’re going to come help,” he said.

Sergeant Alexia Evangelista had her police cadets working the event and having a great time and held a raffle.

The program is open to youngsters between ages 14-

21, who have a 2.5-grade point average in school.

“We have meetings every first and third Wednesday of the month, and we have opportunities for training, work details and to help the community out,” she said. “We attend a four-week academy during the summer.”

After the academy, she said the cadets earn a badge and go on ride-a-longs, sit-a-longs, and compete in competitions.

“We get scholarships, and they help us out,” she said about the officers and mentors for the cadets.

Evangelista volunteered for

the duty.

“We do not get paid,” she said. “We get to be involved with the community.”

Israel Evangelista said his sister convinced him to join the explorers.

“I originally wanted to be a police officer, and my mom was looking around, and her friend went up to her and said there is this great program, the Oxnard Police Explorers,” he said. “We learn from each other. I wasn’t old enough, but my sister did it first.”

He loves the competitions.

Chief Scott Whitney said he enjoyed meeting all the attendees.

“Nothing brings a diverse group of people together like nice cars,” he said. “You got old cars, new cars, fast cars, slow cars. It doesn’t cost anyone any money. You just come out and look at some nice cars, you get to see people that you haven’t seen in years, and you get to meet new friends.”

He said the police enjoy non-confrontational contact.

“A lot of times, our police officers, all they do is go to 911 calls when people are in an emergency,” he said. “This is an opportunity to have positive contact with people.”

Oxnard resident Tony Williams planned a fun day looking at all the cars.

“It’s a beautiful day to come out here,” he said. “It’s not hot, it’s relaxing, and I love cars.”

Works, which is one of our gang intervention programs started in 2009,” he said. “If you participate and graduate from the Peace Works program, you would be removed from the gang injunction.”

Between 2001-2017, he said there were 910 significant gang assaults in Oxnard, which has approximately 206,499 residents. There have also been 120 homicides that involve either a victim or a suspect.

He said the courts ruled that individuals should not be subjected to a gang injunction because police and prosecutors decide they are gang members.

“They should have a basic due process,” he said. “What we did historically when the injunctions began, and these were widely accepted, and the best practices, our gang experts, and our injunction manager compiled a packet of information detailing all the arrests and contacts the individual had and if we believed that we had enough to state that person was a gang member, they were served with the gang injunction.”

The court decisions said it’s not enough, he said, and in response to the first court case was the sent letters to all the enjoined individuals and invited them to refute the gang injunction. “We only had three individuals take advantage of that opportunity,” Sonstegard said.

There have been unfair assumptions about the gang injunctions, he said, which labels youth as gang members.

“There is a multi-tiered process for review of these individuals before they’re served with gang injunctions,” he said. “The City of Oxnard has been extremely conservative and measured in how we identify and serve gang members. There are a lot more gang members in Oxnard than 368, but we only

choose the ones we believe need to be on the injunction.

The average age is 29-yearsold. These are not children that have no gang involvement, these are individuals that have already identified as gang members, generally with gang tattoos, with admissions, gang graffiti, hanging out with gang members and being involved with criminal activities with other gang members. I want to make that clear.”

He said another rumor is they can place a child on a gang injunction for wearing the wrong sports jersey.

“There is sports attire identified in each of the gang injunctions,” he said.

“The Colonia chiques gang specifically prohibits those enjoined individuals from wearing Colts or Cowboys attire, and the Southside chiques injunction, you can’t wear White Sox or Charger stuff, but nobody gets on an injunction just because of the clothes they wear.”

Sonstegard said another concern was people that get arrested because they are with a family member.

“We do have several individuals historically related in some manner,” he said. ” Our officers go through training to identify those circumstances which they’re associating. I’ve heard it said that I could be arrested for driving to church with my brother, and that’s not the case. At least, that’s not the case in Oxnard.”

He said if someone gets arrested and charged with a violation of a gang injunction (a court order) it’s a misdemeanor, and you have the right to an attorney.

“An attorney will be appointed for you, so that’s not the case,” he said about not having the right to an attorney.

Sonstegard said they should focus on intervention programs and not gang injunctions.

“When people say that, they have absolutely the best intentions, and I’m with them 100 percent,” he said. “But we can do both. It doesn’t have to be either or. We have numerous outreach and juvenile intervention programs in Oxnard, we’ve had some that have come and gone, we have DRAGG, we have the juvenile hall outreach program, we have Operation Peace Works, we have Oxnard PAL, we have the parent project, this is not an either-or situation. We believe that addressing street gangs is like 360 degrees and I fully understand that gang injunctions are just one small piece of that.”

This story will continue in the Sept. 7, edition of the TriCounty Sentry.

Community continued from page 1

about the injunctions," he said.

"Most importantly, the key component tonight is hearing public feedback, hearing from you as commissioners, and hearing from our constituents and community members what they see the future of our gang injunctions are.”

When the Oxnard Police Department suspended enforcement of the injunctions in late 2017, there were 368 enjoined gang members, including 297 from the Colonia Chiques and 71 from the Southside Chiques.

The median age of the injunctees was 28 for members of the Colonia Chiques and 30 for the Southside Chiques.

Three of the 368 members were juveniles, and there were four females.

There were 150 Colonia Chiques on parole or probation, while 30 of the Southside Chiques were on parole or probation.

"Generally speaking, these injunctions are focused on young men,” Sonstegard said.

One inaccuracy, he said, is when someone receives an injunction it’s a life sentence, but that is not true. To date, the Oxnard Police Department removed 49 people from the Colonia Chiques injunction and 18 people from the Southside Chiques injunction for a variety of reasons.

“Inactivity is the large one," he said. People can apply to be out of the gang, and there are also occasions that our injunction managers or our gang detectives review files and realize this person has not been involved with any activity. Let’s take another look at their file and if the gang investigators feel they shouldn’t be served with the injunction they’ll go through the formal process of removing them.”

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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18-825701-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not im-

mediately 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.

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. 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 714-730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/ sales, using the file number assigned to this case 17-20388-SPCA.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $296,972.50. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust has deposited all documents evidencing the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust and has declared all sums secured thereby immediately due and payable, and has caused a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be executed. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. 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. 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 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1800283547 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by PETER MILLER and ALEXANDRA HUTCHISON in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that PETER MILLER and ALEXANDRA HUTCHISON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 9/26/2018 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate

Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Out with the Old, in with a New Understanding to Improve SCD Care

By Dr. Kevin Williams The “Ask Dr. Kevin” series is brought to you

by Pfizer Rare Disease in collaboration with the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) to increase understanding of sickle cell disease.

With National Sickle Cell Awareness Month just next month, I’ve been thinking a lot about the challenges that people with sickle cell disease (SCD) face and what can be done to make a meaningful change in their care.

Evolution of the science behind SCD has advanced in recent years, resulting in a new understanding of the disease.

However, this knowledge is not commonplace among individuals living with SCD and their healthcare professionals. As with any disease, better understanding and awareness of the condition is the foundation for improvement in appropriate and timely care.

Recently, the Sickle Cell Disease Council For CHANGE (CFC) has set their sights on raising awareness of the expanded science behind the disease among patients, their families, and healthcare professionals.

The CFC, a group convened by Pfizer and inclusive of more than 20 experts, advocates, and patients working to improve care for SCD patients, is looking at this issue as part of a recently released report called “Improving Vaso-occlusive Crisis (VOC) Management.” In the report, the CFC explains how the understanding of SCD has evolved through the years, and outlines recommendations for how to get this information into the hands of those who can use it—healthcare professionals, emergency department staff, and people living with SCD—to make a positive change and improve

For a Veggie-Packed Frittata,

Swap the Potatoes for Broccoli

By America’s Test Kitchen A frittata is a hearty brunch option but is often loaded with potatoes, cheese, and sausage or bacon. For a more nutritious version, we nixed the meat and swapped out potatoes for broccoli.

To make a substantial, veggiepacked frittata, we used a dozen eggs and a full 4 cups of broccoli, chopping the florets small so they would be surrounded by the eggs, ensuring a cohesive whole.

Adding healthful turmeric and black pepper gave the filling a bold, slightly spicy flavor. But we weren't ready to omit cheese entirely. We opted for Parmesan, since a little bit goes a long way in terms of cheesy flavor; just 1/4 cup was all we needed.

To ensure our frittata cooked fully and evenly, we started it on the stovetop, stirring until a spatula left a trail in the curds, and then transferred it to the oven to gently finish. Adding milk and salt to the eggs ensured they stayed tender and fluffy, as the liquid makes it harder for the proteins to coagulate and turn rubbery, while the salt weakens their interactions and produces a softer curd. This frittata can be served warm or at room

temperature. When paired with a salad, it can serve as a meal.

FRITTATA WITH BROCCOLI AND TUMERIC Servings: 6 Start to finish: 45 minutes 12 large organic eggs 1/3 cup organic 1 percent lowfat milk or water 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon

Salt and pepper 12 ounces broccoli florets, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups) 1 shallot, minced 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 3 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 1/2 teaspoon juice Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 F. Whisk eggs, milk, Parmesan, 1 tablespoon oil, tarragon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in bowl until well combined.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon

oil in 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add broccoli, shallot, turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until broccoli is crisp-tender and spotty brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in water and lemon zest and juice and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until broccoli is just tender and no water remains in skillet, about 1 minute longer.

Add egg mixture and cook, using rubber spatula to stir and scrape bottom of skillet until large curds form and spatula leaves trail through eggs but eggs are still very wet, about 30 seconds. Smooth curds into even layer and cook, without stirring, for 30 seconds. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until frittata is slightly puffy and surface bounces back when lightly pressed, 5 to 8 minutes. Using rubber spatula, loosen frittata from skillet and transfer to cutting board. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. ___ Nutrition information per serving: 221 calories; 134 calories from fat; 15 g fat (4 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 434 mg cholesterol; 306 mg sodium; 7 g carbohydrate; 2 g fiber; 1 g sugar; 15 g protein.

Aspirin Disappoints for Avoiding First Heart Attack, Stroke

By Marilynn Marchione Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don't outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds.

Although it's been used for more than a century, aspirin's value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don't yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem.

One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks in people at moderate risk for one because they had several health threats such as smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Another tested aspirin in people with diabetes, who are more likely to develop or die from heart problems, and found that the modest benefit it gave was offset by a greater risk of serious bleeding.

Aspirin did not help prevent cancer as had been hoped.

And fish oil supplements, also tested in the study of people with diabetes, failed to help.

“There's been a lot of uncertainty among doctors around the world about prescribing aspirin” beyond those for whom it's now recommended, said one study leader, Dr. Jane Armitage of the University of Oxford in England. “If you're healthy, it's probably not worth taking it.”

The research was discussed Sunday at the European Society of Cardiology meeting in Munich. The aspirin studies used 100 milligrams a day, more than the 81-milligram pills commonly sold in the United States but still considered low dose. Adult strength is 325 milligrams.

WHO'S REALLY AT RISK? A Boston-led study gave aspirin or dummy pills to 12,546 people who were thought to have a moderate risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke within a decade because of other health issues.

After five years, 4 percent of each group had suffered a heart problem—far fewer than expected, suggesting these people were actually at low risk, not moderate. Other medicines they were taking to lower blood pressure and cholesterol may have cut their heart risk so much that aspirin had little chance of helping more, said the study leader, Dr. J. Michael Gaziano of Brigham and Women's Hospital.

One percent of aspirin takers had stomach or intestinal bleeding, mostly mild_ twice as many as those on dummy pills. Aspirin users also had more nosebleeds, indigestion, reflux or belly pain.

Bayer sponsored the study, and many researchers consult for the aspirin maker.

Results were published by the journal Lancet.

ASPIRIN FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES? People with diabetes have a higher risk of heart problems and strokes from a blood clot, but also a higher risk of bleeding. Guidelines vary on which of them should consider aspirin.

Oxford researchers randomly assigned 15,480 adults with Type 1 or 2 diabetes but otherwise in good health and with no history of heart problems to take either aspirin, 1 gram of fish oil, both substances, or dummy pills every day.

After seven and a half years, there were fewer heart problems among aspirin users but more cases of serious bleeding, so they largely traded one risk for another.

FISH OIL RESULTS The same study also tested omega-3 fatty acids, the good oils found in salmon, tuna and other fish. Supplement takers fared no better than those given dummy capsules—9 percent of each group suffered a heart problem.

“We feel very confident that there doesn't seem to be a role for fish oil supplements for preventing heart disease,” said study leader Dr. Louise Bowman of the University of Oxford.

The British Heart Foundation was the study's main sponsor. Bayer and Mylan provided aspirin and fish oil, respectively.

Results were published by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Other studies are testing different amounts and prescription versions of fish oil, “but I can't tell people go spend your money on it; we think it's probably better to eat fish,” said Dr. Holly Andersen, a heart disease prevention specialist at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell who was not involved in the study.

NEWS Family Justice continued from page 3

When they close cases, and they started moving forward with the Family Justice Center, she said they asked to create a group of survivors as an advisory board and use them as a sounding board for how it works because their insight is more valuable than any data or statistics they have.

Watkins said this is something new and it's growing from the ground up, and it’s become a survivor-led process that is initiating and empowering experience.

One event planned is a family protection seminar with the Oxnard Police Department.

“Part of the eligibility requirements are you can’t be part of an open case, and they’ve passed that in some respect with the abusive partner,” she said.

Currently, she said the VOICES are comprised of people who have worked with victim advocates in the DA’s office, she said, and they know the people well.

VOICES member Cyndy Taschman noted the Victim Advocates helped her and the Family Justice Center will be a big help to everyone.

“I was attacked by a stranger while walking home from the Oxnard Library, right near the Police Station. I was able to stop him from doing anything and captured six of the seven characters in his license plate, so the police were able to identify and catch him right away.

When the police found out I work at the Government Center, they said it would be up to me to keep on top of the DA’s Office, and not let this case fall through the cracks.

I contacted Greg Totten, who immediately assigned me a Victim Advocate. I had no idea that any such thing existed.

My advocate walked me through the paperwork, advised me on what would happen in court (with 19 continuances), and also accompanied me to court.

Because I work at the Government Center, it was easy for me to go to court every single time, and very easy for me to reach my advocate and the Deputy District Attorney assigned to the case.

If I did not work here, I would not have been able to stay as involved in the case, and the outcome would have been very different – the pervert probably would have gotten off, instead of being taken off the streets and going to jail. I had the benefit of ‘onestop shopping,’ and I want others to have the same benefit from this. I knew what to do because I had such easy access to help – which is what the Family Justice Center will provide. The assistance I received is what turns victims into survivors.”

The group is ready to grow.

“We are accepting applications from the outside now and going through the screening process,” Watkins said. “The chair of the committee goes through the application and makes sure they meet the eligibility requirements.”

She said becoming a member of VOICES is an easy process.

“That screening needs to include where that person is with their trauma, and they are healing and moving forward,” she said.

“It can be a funky position for someone who is still struggling with an underlining trauma to be able to come in and help a survivor.

We’re open about that.”

Downtown Oxnard continued from page 6

“I love the convertible; we’re in Southern California,” he said. “I spent much money to get it in that condition. My wife lets me.”

President Carlos Montano said he is an original member from 1978.

“I became president because it was an agreement between friends,” he said. “I was trying to get the club back together.”

Lopez said the group agreed City Life is a good name.

“We belong to a city,” he said.

California Classics and Rods President D. J. Lackershire said his group rolled with City Life to the show.

“Clubs do that,” he said. “The car culture is a pretty close-knit family in itself. We all help each other out. We have a motto like the Marines; no man left behind. If one breaks down, we all break down.”

Students waffling about taking that step towards a better future, Woodruff said, should stop by the program at 300 Graves Ave., and move in the right direction.

“The opportunity is there,” he said. “It’s a chance to land a scholarship and go to college and get a career.”

Prepping for Flu Season: CHLA Reactivating Wing to Accommodate Increased Patient Volume LOS ANGELES—Last winter, the United States experienced one of the worst influenza (flu) seasons in nearly a decade.

Thousands of children ended up in hospitals across the country, including at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), which set new records for inpatient census—the total number of patients admitted on a given day—during this period.

In preparation for the upcoming 2018-2019 flu season, and to help manage patient admissions that continue to increase every year, CHLA has greenlighted a short-term construction project to renovate and reactivate 17 patient beds in the hospital’s Mary Duque Building.

As a crucial medical resource to families throughout Southern California and beyond, we cannot and should not be turning away children during the busiest months of the year, says Nancy Lee, RN, MSN, NEA-BC, CHLA’s senior vice president and chief clinical officer. As our total patient visits have risen from 486,000 a year to nearly 568,000 in the last three years, this is a critical step we must take to fulfill our mission of helping every patient who needs us.”

Built in 1968, the Duque Building served as part of CHLA’s main hospital complex until the opening of the Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion in 2011. Today,

the Mary Duque Building as the primary location for acute care at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

while it still contains some clinical, surgical and inpatient areas, the building primarily houses medical staff offices and administrative space.

The roughly $2 million construction project, which is taking place in the east wing of Duque’s fourth floor, covers renovations essential to resuming inpatient care there.

Along with new beds will come other upgrades, including new physiological monitors, a new nurse call system, a new pneumatic tube transfer system and upgraded network infrastructure to bring the wing up to current hospital standards. All but two rooms will have single beds and, similar to other inpatient areas of Children’s

Hospital Los Angeles, each room will have pull-out beds that parents can use to spend the night with their child. The goal is to have the floor ready for the first

Patient visits have risen from 486,000 a year to nearly 568,000 in the last three years patient admission by November this year.

Once renovations are finished, pending approval by inspectors from California’s Office of Statewide Health Planning and

Department of Public Health, the total number of active beds at CHLA will increase to 391 (from 374). This extra inpatient space will be available until 2030, when stricter hospital earthquake compliance rules take effect across the state. CHLA has already invested about $7 million in seismic upgrades to the Duque Building and an adjacent facility, the McAlister Building, which houses clinics, an infusion center and administrative offices. In 2030, both would be required to either undergo additional seismic retrofitting, redeploy as non-clinical space, or be replaced completely.

Concert continued from page 2

it turned into rock ‘n’ roll.”

Sayles said seeing people dance makes it fun for the band.

“That’s why live music is more fun then just hanging out in the studio all day doing this into a microphone,” he said.

Music is a big part of his family, he said, and he started playing the trombone in the fourth grade.

“I started playing guitar in high school and didn’t start writing music until I was in college,” he said. “I don’t play the trombone too much anymore, and I’m sure the rest of the guys in the band appreciate.”

Sue Nicewander and her husband Kurt come to the concerts every week and they were serious about dancing to the music.

“It’s really good,” Sue said. “They need to play more upbeat music. We like Texas swing music to dance to.”

The couple dances as often as they can, Sue said, and they often go to the Sunset Suppers in Port Hueneme on Tuesday night during the summer months.

“We also go to Channel City Jazz Society and the West Coast Traditional Jazz Society on Rincon Mountain on Sundays,” Kurt said.

“I play drums for traditional jazz. I am trying to get doctor jazz started again because I am a retiring family doctor.”

He said when playing, he plays in the key of D (drums) and it’s cool.

Judy Pigman and her husband Mark were relaxing and enjoying the show. The couple were ready to enjoy the evening and had a pair of custom made top hats from Lucitidy

in Santa Barbara.

“It’s a once a year festival at Oak Park,” she said. “They are one of a kind, the maker makes them and never repeats them. I have six top hats, and that’s the one that matched my outfit.”

The couple was enjoying the last concert of the year.

“We wanted to make sure we took in the last weekend of this series until next year,” she said.

The hats they waere wearing would remind you of the hat that Tom Petty wore on stage.

“We saw his last show,” he said.

“His friends were trying to help him with a broken hip.”

Tracy Carstensen got her kids involved with the evening and shared a dance with her children, Remington and Elliotte “The kids are having a ball and begging me to come out and dance with them,” Tracy said. “I need an adult to dance with.”

Remington said he likes music and dancing.

“I like dancing with my mom, my sister and my daddy,” Remington said. “I love my whole family.”

Tracy loves bringing the kids to the park to enjoy the music, and had simple, but fun, plans for after the show.

“We’re going to go have a little dinner, then we’ll all go home, cuddle up, say our prayer, go to bed and be fresh for church tomorrow, because it’s Sunday tomorrow,” she said.

Student Summit continued from page 2

Adan Nevrez came in inspired and said the new tools he learned at the summit keep him growing and moving forward.

“Speaking to other members of community college allows me to see things from their perspective,” he said. “I am going to use the tools, that they already know and have been using that worked for them, to our advantage at Oxnard College.”

He said at first, he would go from his car to class, and was not involved.

“Once I started getting involved that next semester, I made great friends. I walked around campus, and I know everybody.

It’s an environment where you can succeed.”

Blair was excited about the event.

“It was wonderful to have all the students together collaborating and sharing ideas,” she said.

Advisor Libby Fatta loved all the energy in the room.

“To see how motivated all the students are, to see all their new ideas is exciting and keeps me motivated and inspired,” she said. “They all come full of great ideas, and fresh new people are excited to have here.”

Ventura College Student Activities Specialist Kristen Robinson noted the associates at Moorpark College set five pillars that directs every decision they make for the next year.

“When they start to come up with new ideas, the first thing they ask themselves is how does this align with the goals and priorities we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year,” she said. “Having that foundation govern their decision-making process for 2019 helps us to make sure that what we’re doing is meeting what we set out to do.”

She said they also had long conversations about prioritizing things and being realistic about timeframes to accomplish things.

“It can have a big impact on the campus,” she said. “As with any bureaucratic system, decisions have to be made and approved at multiple levels often.”

She said the college encourages the students to pursue the things they want.

“It’s been a great balancing act and does not alter or stunt their ambition because they have plenty of it, and they can achieve those things within the parameters the district has set for them,” she said.
