C.O.R.E. SPEAKS OUT AGAINST GANG INJUNCTIONS

The C.O.R.E. team took on gang injunctions during the Community Relations Commission meeting.

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD—Part 2 of the civil gang injunction conversation picks up with a presentation from C.O.R.E. (Chiques Organizing for Rights and Equality), which provided the attendees at the Aug. 20, Community Relations Commission meeting an update about how the injunctions have evolved.

“C.O.R.E. will present historical and legal facts that will question and challenge the unconstitutional elements of the civil gang injunctions, and how they deprive youth of color in Oxnard their due process rights,” Commissioner Tiffany Lopez said.

C.O.R.E. representative Armando Vasquez appreciated the opportunity to speak at the meeting and said the group had been together since 2004.

“In 2004, the police, city council

and district attorney began their very secretive covert operation together and put together this injunction which would morph into two injunctions," he said.

"We, as a group, came together because we were working with the community closely, because we didn’t have information and this kind of dialogue.”

He said the group reacted emotionally and from the gut.

“Today’s presentation has nothing to do with emotion; it’s going to be about The Constitution," he said. "It’s going to be about unlawful behavior on the part of the police department for 14 years.”

Vasquez said what the police department is doing is unconstitutional, and that point is irrefutable.

“If we don’t change quickly, the consequences are going to be lawsuits, court reversals, and a lot of money the City of Oxnard is going to have to pull out of the

taxpayers’ pockets to pay for this break up those injunction-related adventure we’ve now looked at arrests and see what happened,” for 14 years,” Vasquez said. he said. “The curfew provision He wants to give the city the that was amended didn’t come out opportunity to look at the facts in of thin air; it came out of a lot of 2018, instead of what happened sacrifice and commitment from in 2004, when community the gang members. i n j u n c t i o n s If we don’t change quickly, S o m e the consequences are began. community E a r l y going to be lawsuits, court m e m b e r s Education who were reversals, and a lot of L e a d later enjoined O r g a n i z e r money the City of Oxnard (in the gang F r a n c i s c o is going to have to pull out i n j u n c t i o n ) R o m e r o sacrificed of the taxpayers’ pockets. said gang themselves and injunctions put themselves C.O.R.E. representative are a tough on the line Armando Vasquez and complex to voice a conversation, lot of their and sometimes they get opinion on questions around the emotional and driven by their injunction.” own experiences and encounters He noted that during a with law enforcement. previous city council meeting, "Let’s look at the data and n C.O.R.E.

Family-Friendly Movies a Free Treat at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center

Kids Enjoy ‘Inside Out’ and Make Crafts

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD—A free family movie, plus fun crafts, were on the agenda at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, Sept. 1, as kids of all ages came out to enjoy the film Inside Out and create masks based on its characters.

Inside Out is an animated adventure that brings to life the emotions of a young girl who moves with her family from the Midwest to San Francisco. As she experiences joy, fear, anger, disgust, and sadness these emotions are portrayed by characters throughout her journey.

Program Assistant Dimna Jasso said the team at the performing arts center brainstormed about the movies. n Kids Enjoy, see page 2

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018

NEWS C.O.R.E. SPEAKS continued from page 1

Assistant Chief Eric Sonstegard said the gang injunction is a model.

“We had a lot to do with that,” Romero said about the gang injunctions. “It was adjusted because we advocated, just as we are today, and that curfew provision led to a lawsuit in South Central (Los Angeles) where a young Mexican man fought and won damages in the millions. The money was $24 million, and it was deferred to a youth program.”

He said one misconception the public has is that since they question the elements of the injunction, they advocate the defense of a violent crime.

“It couldn’t be further from the truth,” Romero said. “We do not want anything to happen to our children. We guard our families with our lives. As a new father, we are looking for safety.

It’s a Mexican town for all intensive purposes, 90-plus percent.”

He said 11 of the original 14 provisions are rated criminal statutes.

“The ones we had a serious complaint with was the curfew, the association, and the clothing,” he said.

During the appellate court battle about the curfew provision and the optout, Romero said Public Defender Neil Quinn likened to “catching fireflies and putting them into a jar."

"What you do is take data across 10 years and dot map it on a map, so when you see it, there is a crisis,” Romero said. "If you extrapolate the data and go yearly, the data looks different."

He said most studies related to gang injunctions are not conclusive.

“It’s very difficult to pinpoint if an injunction has been effective,” he said.

“One of the things we found out early on in 2004, was if you lock down an entire community, violent crime is going to go down because nobody is outside. That’s an extreme example, but sometimes it gets to a point in society where if we allow the reigns of this type of power loose and not contain it, that’s why we are here.”

Attorney Barbara Macri-Ortiz spoke on behalf of C.O.R.E. and reminded the commission they need to remember how they got to this point.

“We got here because there was a police chief who wanted to make a name, about injunctions,” she said.

“That was Chief Lopez, that was his mark, and he went out on his injunction way.”

Macri-Ortiz said the town was a guinea pig.

“I was watching when there were a lot of shootings during a period," he said.

"One thing I want you to remember was there were a fair amount of those shootings that were police shootings.

We had a kid who had mental issues who was shot in a closet by an Oxnard Policeman. Not every shooting counted were gangs against gangs.”

She said they were difficult times.

“We’re lucky now,” she said. “I have the utmost respect for Chief Whitney and his staff. We have a police department now that does work for the community and works with the community.”

Macri-Ortiz said to use that to the city’s advantage.

“It’s a time not to go back to the old ways, because the old ways didn’t work,” she said. “For everything that you’ve heard, I could give you a story that was a little bit different.”

She said the injunction was for a time and that time passed.

“If you look at what’s going on in the state and the nation, we’re starting to look at criminal justice reform, we’re talking about restorative justice and more preventive,” she said.

C.O.R.E. is working with people to raise the level of its citizens, she commented.

“I was an education lawyer and represented a lot of kids who got expelled,” Macri-Ortiz said. “The worst evidence they had against the kid was that he admitted he had done something wrong. I’m thinking as a parent, that’s what you're trying to teach your kids, but because they admitted they did something wrong, they were punished by getting kicked out of school.

She said that they’re teaching people to lie and noted the president lies 10 times a day.

“We have to show what our city is about,” she said. “We have to take our youth where they’re at and help them.”

Oxnard College Serves up Outstanding Culinary Opportunities

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com OXNARD—Oxnard College is meeting the need for talented professionals looking for a career in Culinary Arts, as the college boasts an exceptional program that not only gives students a diverse background in areas like front house management and fine dining, but is also training the next generation of chefs.

The program is growing under the watchful eye of Chef Adam Hart, as he prides himself on giving the students the opportunity to learn and grow while making sure their experiences in the industry matches their strengths. This creates a match made in heaven for employers and prospective employees.

The students love working with Hart, and each one dreams big for their future.

“Adam (Hart) is a great teacher," student Chance Carruth said.

“He is charismatic and involves everybody in his classrooms.”

Carruth was making a vanilla sponge cake and said the secret is mixing air into the batter to make it fluffy.

“We use our mixer to mix in as much air as possible,” she said. “I love baking. I like the science of it.”

She said the class got the recipe Aug. 28, (Tuesday) and put it to work right away.

“We’re testing it out,” she said.

Carruth wants to own a bakery after she graduates from school.

“I love Danishes, croissants, and want to do it all,” she said.

Alex Gonzales was helping Chance make sponge cakes and is enjoying his time working under Hart.

“I have a job in a kitchen, and it sparked my passion for cooking,” he said. “Chance is the baker and is showing me what to do. I’ve never baked, I’ve always been a cook.”

He wants to become a private chef after graduation.

“That’s the plan,” he said.

“Maybe I’ll open up a restaurant someday.”

Students Olivia Ariana, Kulber Hernandez and Chef Marcos Herrera Work on Pastries in the Kitchen at Oxnard College.

Student Olivia Ariana said cooking is her passion.

“Adam (Hart) is a great teacher, and is my mentor,” she said. “I am all about learning different cooking techniques, traveling and trying different foods.”

After graduation, she wants to work in a scratch kitchen.

“That’s where you are going to get your most learning,” she said. “I want to own a restaurant someday.”

Once inside the back of the house (kitchen) students get reallife work experience under the direction of Chef Bob Holmberg.

“I do a beginning class for the café’ and teach them how to use the equipment, make simple recipes and serve them to the college campus,” he said. “I also teach the catering class; we make all types of different hors-d'oeuvres, like sausages, soft cheeses, and different items we serve in various parts of the program.”

He is also the front-of-house (dining room) instructor.

“I teach them how to serve guests in a fine dining atmosphere,” he said. “We will be open to the public for lunches in about five weeks.”

By then, he said the students will be trained and will serve a threecourse dinner with beverages.

“There is a fee, of course, for it, but it will be a nominal fee,” he said. “We haven’t decided yet what that will be. It’s a nice atmosphere for lunch, and it will be done very well.”

Consistency is the key, he said,

when teaching students proper food preparation.

“You can get anything out there,” he said about following recipes.

Holmberg said the students use trays to serve meals, but he doesn’t like using them.

“When I teach them how to carry plates, I allow them to only carry three, two in one hand and one in another hand,” he said.

Holmberg has 55-years of experience in the industry that spans the front-of-house and backof-house opportunities.

“I loved it and decided to teach after working in the public sector,” he said.

Chef Marcos Herrera oversees the fundamentals of baking and creating delectable items from scratch.

“We show them what it takes, how to do them, and how to make the dough rise,” he said. “It’s the basic principles for French bread, sourdough bread, and bagels. We also do bear claws, cinnamon rolls, and pinwheels.”

He said the class also learns basic cake decorating and how to pipe frosting on the item.

“I started when I was a little kid baking with my mom, and I love it,” he said. “I love creating a scratch cake and decorate it (when it comes out of the oven), and it turns into something beautiful.”

Hart said he’s worked for some terrible managers throughout his career, but he learned from his mistakes.

“I’ve also worked for some

fantastic managers, so I have cherry picked what they offered,” he said. “There is no perfect manager, everyone is human and brings their best experiences and management style, and it doesn’t jive with everyone all the time.”

He considers himself lucky to build a great team.

“You bring in as many talented people as you can, and you don’t bridle them and let them do what they do best,” he said. “You observe, add notes to it, and may suggest doing it this way or that way, but if I bring in a fantastic pastry chef and tell him we’re going to do it this way, I know better. I’ve lost that person.”

Hart said it’s better to let them do what they do best.

"Because of that, I’m getting toptier chefs,” he said. “they’ve worked with me in the past and say, ‘I love to work with Chef Hart because I worked with them before and he has a philosophy they understand.'

They also understand that working for me is carte blanche and they get to do what they want.”

In return, he has their back.

“They’re finding the freedom to do things they want to do here they may not have been able to do in a more structured environment,” he said.

One thing that sets the program apart is that students get to teach.

“If you have a good recipe, get in front of the class and teach,” he tells his students. “Students have to learn that chefs are teachers at heart. We train people.”

He said his students are smiling.

“We have happy students,” he said. “When it’s time to work, it’s time to work, but they’re having a good time.”

He likes having students who are challenging.

“I like seeing the growth,” he said.

“I had one student who was quiet and reserved and almost scared, and in the next three months, you saw her personality and confidence come out. Once that confidence is built, she starts cooking things that are leaps and bound ahead of what she did before.”

A few months later, she was running the kitchen.

“Who is this person,” Hart said.

“She is my sous chef. Bringing someone from that level to almost running the whole kitchen and people respect her.”

Kids Enjoy continued from page 1

“It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “There is no money spent, and the kids do different activities based on each movie.”

She has been on the performing arts center staff for almost two years.

“I started working in the box office and then started working in the main office about a month ago,” she said.

The job transition happened slowly, she said, and she almost didn’t notice the change.

“They asked me to help with this, and I said okay,” she said. “I started doing the social media before Carolyn Mullin came here and she liked what I was doing with it, so she asked me to join her team.”

Dimna planned to watch the movie after they cleaned up.

“I heard it was a cute movie,” she said.

Mullin said her staff is trying to gauge what the people want.

“These newer animated productions are what people want,” she said.

“Our main act is Los Angeles Azules, Mexico’s number one cumbia band,” she said. “It’s a big deal that we’re getting them, and ticket sales are going strong. We’re going to get close to a sellout even though the event is on a Monday.”

From 4-6:30 p.m. she said the center would have a party on the patio.

“We’ve teamed up with Radio Lazar Broadcasting, and their D.J.s will be providing the tunes,” she said. “The Oxnard Chamber of Commerce will be doing a ribbon

Mullin said the community has history buffs who dug into the center’s archives.

“The woman who championed the arts center in 1968, her name was Cleo Le Bot, and we have all of her original scrapbooks,” Mullin said.

She’s also spoken with the Optimist Club that put on the first production in 1968.

“They also erected the fountain, but it has fallen into disrepair over the years,” she said.

“We’re transforming that into a succulent garden, which will be dedicated.”

She loves how communityminded the performing arts center is to the residents.

“It’s in the middle of a neighborhood,” she said. “I get a lot of satisfaction knowing people can walk a block or two and have art and cultural activity.”

John Perez asked his mother if he could come and see the movie.

“It’s a great movie, and I like the title,” he said. “The sadness (character) put a circle down so he can’t do it anymore,” he said.

Noemi Garci said she'd seen the movie before.

“I love it,” she said. “I like the angry one.”

NEWS Criticism of Rev. Jasper Williams Follow His Remarks at Aretha Franklin’s Funeral Saying his subject was “Aretha the Queen of Soul,” Rev. Jasper Williams of the Salem Bible Church in Atlanta gave the audience gathered for Aretha Franklin’s funeral a few unexpected memories laced with political commentary.

Though he began simply, referring to the history of soul music and gospel, his talk became political as he Williams appeared towards the end of the ten-hour service. Rev. Williams was one of over three dozen speakers at Franklin’s lengthy Detroit home going ceremony.

Rev. Williams referenced Black-On-Black crime, said single mothers are incapable of raising sons alone and proclaimed that Black America has lost its soul and it’s “now time for Black America to come back home.”

“Where is your soul, Black man?” he asked the audience at one point. “As I look in your house, there are no fathers in the home no more. Where is your soul?”

“Seventy percent of our households are led by our precious, proud, fine Black women. But as proud, beautiful and fine as our Black women are, one thing a Black woman cannot do. A Black woman cannot raise a Black boy to be a man. She can’t do that. She can’t do that,” Rev. Williams said.

“It amazes me how it is that when the police kills one of us, we’re ready to protest march, destroy innocent property,” he said.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018

OPED

How to Live with a Veggie-Holic Dr. James L. Snyder In our house, not many conflicts expose themselves. For the most part, it is a very quiet and serene home occupied by two lovebirds.

I am not saying we are perfect.

For we are not. The imperfect side of this marvelous relationship is Yours Truly. I was born imperfect and I have honored my birthright ever since.

I do not care what some may say about crazy people, I have enjoyed my craziness all my life. When you are perfect, you have to be careful that you do not make any mistake or act crazy.

When, however, you are imperfect and tilt towards the crazy side of life, your life is a joy. If you make a mistake, well, that is part of life. But on the positive side, when you do something right, you become the amazement of people around you.

So, our relationship in the Parsonage has been a very wonderful relationship. At least, from my side of the room. What the other resident says may be quite different.

We do make a great team, though.

I can break anything and she can fix anything. How much better do you need to be?

When I make a mistake, she can correct me even in front of people.

Now that is what I like. I would hate people to think I am stupid, crazy is one thing but stupid is something altogether different. And it is the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage that consistently rescues me from being stupid.

Being a non-perfectionist, I can enjoy every day of my life, no matter what happens or what doesn’t happen.

I cannot imagine what life is like for that person who is a perfectionist, like my wife.

She sees something that needs fixing, and she is busy trying to fix it.

If something is out of place, she is the first one to put it in its place.

She has put me in my place for many years.

Few things we disagree on but there is one thing on top of that list.

They can be boiled down into one word, Vegetables.

My wife loves vegetables almost as much as I love apple fritters. I do not think since the day she was

born a day has passed without her consuming some kind of vegetable.

She knows vegetables like I know apple fritters. There is not a vegetable known to mankind that she has not consumed.

Even for breakfast, she likes to sneak in some kind of vegetable.

With my oatmeal, for example, she likes to sneak in a carrot. What in the world do carrots have to do with breakfast?

Her response to this is simply, “Vegetables are good for you and it’s good to start the day off with a vegetable.”

For her sake, I will grudgingly put up with some vegetables. Some vegetables, however, I will not put up with, I have made my stand strong through the years and I have not moved. Leading the list would be Broccoli.

Yes, I know all of the benefits of eating broccoli. My wife has told me

this over and over throughout the years and I can repeat it verbatim.

My problem is, I do not believe what anybody says about broccoli.

First, broccoli looks like a miniature tree that has not grown up yet. Who likes to eat trees?

There is no way to prepare broccoli that my wife does not already know.

For years, she tried to entice me and con me into eating broccoli. I will fall for just about anything, except broccoli.

Every once in a while my wife will say, “What would you like for supper tonight?”

I do not pause, but immediately say, “Anything but broccoli.”

I have the same apprehension for broccoli as she does for apple fritters.

I believe that an Apple fritter is basically “a fruit.”

Once when I was trying to explain to her that an Apple fritter was a fruit she replied in disgust, “Anybody that

believes that is just fruity.”

What she does not realize is, I do not mind being fruity. I would rather be fruity than eat any broccoli.

The question here is how do you live with someone who is such a veggie-Holic?

There could not be any bigger span of separation than between a veggie-holic and an Apple fritter fan.

Recently we have come to an amicable agreement, which simply is, she does not talk about broccoli and I do not talk about apple fritters. She does not believe what I say about apple fritters anyway.

And, I do not believe what she says about broccoli.

So, we have learned to respect each other’s differences. That is what makes a relationship good. The only question I have is, and I don’t bring it up very often, does an Apple fritter smell as bad as broccoli cooking on the stove?

Looking back over our relationship very few things we disagree on and the things we disagree on are not that important that it should affect our relationship.

I love what that wise old prophet in the Old Testament said, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3).

It is not what we disagree on; rather, it is what we agree on that is important. If you are going in one direction, you must have the same opinion that it is the direction you are going.

Prayers for Our School Children

By Marian Wright Edelman As children across the country return to their classrooms, I share prayers for them in this new school year. I begin with a special prayer for children struggling to beat the odds: Live child—no matter what!

Don’t let anybody or anything stop you Like the flowers in the crannied walls squeezing life as ivy, ferns, molds, and yellow buds stretching towards the sun rise from the rocky soil cling to the naked bumpy walls work your roots into the tiny crevices, nooks, and crannies of the unfriendly walls of race and class and gender that try to block your way Live no matter what lapping up sun’s warmth and rain’s drops bend with the wind and dance with the breeze crawl up and down and all around cover the stone walls with your green coverlet going on with your life.

Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the great president of Morehouse College, who shaped so many of my generation including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said: “I am disturbed, I am uneasy about men because we have no guarantee that when we train a man’s mind, we will train his heart; no guarantee that when we increase a man’s knowledge, we will increase his goodness. There is no necessary correlation between knowledge and goodness.”

I share this prayer for 21stcentury children and their teachers and parents so that all children will be taught what

really matters.

God, help us not to raise a new generation of children with high intellectual quotients and low caring and compassion quotients; with sharp competitive edges but dull cooperative instincts; with highly developed computer skills but poorly developed consciences; with a gigantic commitment to the big “I” but little sense of responsibility to the bigger

“we”; and with more and more God, help us to raise with mounds of worldliness and less and less children who care. disconnected I share a final information prayer for all of without a moral God, help our children to learn what our children. context to God, help is real. Help them not to defer to determine its our children to worth; people because they are powerful learn what is real. with more and Help them not to or rich but because they are good or more knowledge defer to people and less and less because they are wise or helpful or loving. imagination and powerful or rich appreciation for but because they the magic of life that cannot be wonder and awe for the sacred are good or wise or helpful or quantified or computerized; and everyday miracles of life. loving.

Help them not to defer to people because they are attractive or famous but because they share a mission, a life view, a commitment to something bigger than themselves. Help them to not defer to people because of race or gender but because they are principled and honest.

We must all do our part each day to teach the next generation what we really value—as a nation and a people!

Old Soldiers Never Die

By Austin R. Cooper “Old soldiers never die” is an English language catchphrase taken from a stanza of the soldiers’ folklore, Old Soldiers Never Die: “Old soldiers never die, Never die, never die, Old soldiers never die They simply fade away.”

The phrase gained popularity after General Douglas MacArthur uttered it in his April 1951 farewell address to Congress. Today, the nation mourns the passing of another giant, Sen. John McCain. McCain died nine years to the day when America lost another icon, Sen. Ted Kennedy, to the same form of brain cancer. Both men were considered “Lions of the Senate” and deservedly so.

McCain was an unabashed conservative who relished the opportunity to battle his more liberal Democratic colleagues.

He was also a skillful legislator, unafraid to buck his party in order to achieve a legislative victory. As Kennedy’s widow, Vickie Reggie Kennedy stated, he was “an uncompromising patriot and man of immeasurable courage.” Despite being of opposite political parties, McCain and Kennedy were the best of friends.

I am a life-long Democrat, and therefore, had numerous differences with McCain. For example, then-Congressman McCain voted against making Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday a national holiday.

However, to his credit, on the 40thanniversary of King’s assassination, McCain said his vote was wrong:

“We can be slow as well to give greatness its due, a mistake I made long ago when I voted against a federal holiday in memory of Dr. King.

I was wrong, and eventually realized it in time to give full support for a state holiday in my home state of Arizona. I’d remind you that we can all be a little late sometimes in doing the right thing and Dr. King realized this about his fellow Americans.”

In addition, McCain was one of the deciding votes in helping then-President George H.W. Bush sustain a veto against the Civil Rights Act of 1990. His vote helped Bush to become the first president

ever to successfully veto a civil rights measure: Andrew Johnson and Ronald Reagan both had vetoes overridden, in 1866 and 1988, respectively.

To my knowledge, he never

The man, the Maverick.

Who can deny that he was

Yet, despite political differences on these two votes, in addition to naming unqualified former Governor

a real-life, true and genuine American war hero? On October 26, 1967, McCain’s Skyhawk jet was shot over North Vietnam by a barrage of surface-to-air missiles.

He ejected from the plane, but suffered serious injuries, breaking both arms and his right leg.

He spent the next five and a half years in captivity as a prisoner of war, tortured almost every day while in captivity. The fact that he was shot down and captured only diminished him in the eyes of one individual, the current Commander-in-Chief, who successfully avoided Vietnam military service with a mysterious heel spur. To the rest of Americans, though, he was and will always remain an American hero. McCain went on to become Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed

Services.

However, what will always stand out to me was his 2008 defense of Barack Obama from a racist supporter. At the time, in addition to being a fellow American, Obama was also a Senate colleague and political opponent for the White House: “I cannot trust Obama. I have read about him, and he’s not, um, he’s an Arab,” a woman said to McCain during a town hall meeting in Lakeville, Minnesota.

The senator grabbed the microphone and cut the woman off, saying, “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man and citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what the campaign’s all about. He’s not Arab.”

McCain’s response was met with boos from the audience and no doubt, he lost votes that evening. But that did not matter to him. Indeed, it is a true testament of his character that he asked George W Bush and Barack Obama to eulogize him, the two very men who denied him the presidency.

His passing leaves a vacuum of honor, valor and integrity, on frankly, both sides of the political spectrum and especially in the White House.

Who amongst our elected officials will fill his shoes? He only asked to be remembered as, “This guy, who served his country. I hope we could add, honorably.” You will be, Senator McCain.

“Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away.”

NEWS Fresh and Fun continued from page 1

to live music, plus balloon art for the kids. One of the busier stops along the way featured “The Best Hummus Ever” as Michael Vartanian has been creating Kettle Stones Hummus since he was 10. “That’s what our customers keep telling us,” he said. “That’s what makes them always come back.”

He called it a family business.

“We make all the hummus ourselves,” he said. “My mom makes the hummus, but I am here every week.”

Michael said the hummus features fresh garbanzo beans.

“We cook them ourselves,” he said. “Everything we do is

all natural; we don’t put any preservatives. Whatever we don’t sell this week goes into the trash because we can’t sell it again.”

One of the more popular flavors, he said, featured fresh artichoke and spinach that gets added to the hummus.

Katelyn wanted something spicy and chose black bean, garlic, and jalapeno hummus.

“It’s pretty good,” she said.

“Kettle Stones is better. I have a few people at home who will love it.” Rugal Morales was serving up hot and mild salsa he calls “WTF Salsa” that he makes in Ventura.

His company is called Chiliman Salsa Company.

“I was taught how to cook by my grandmother, and these are her recipes,” he said. “She wanted me to learn how to cook, and her most important thing was flavor first and heat second.

If you cook with love, everybody else will love it.”

He started with the WTF Hot Sauce because he got tired of sauces made with vinegar.

“We made one without vinegar,” he said. “We made a salsa called “Just a bit of Punch” which is 4 out of 10 (on the heat scale) for regular people.”

From there he made the Reaper Pepper Salsa, which is about a 9 out of 10.

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

“We made a chili Verde for our neighbor who can’t have spice anymore,” he said.

He said the hottest salsa is the “Reaper Pepper Salsa.”

“When you first have it, you think that’s not bad; then it slowly begins to build,” he said.

Michael Pascle had a great time and had to stop and buy the “You’re Not Ready” reaper pepper salsa. “You taste it and think I can eat that and it comes at you like, roar,” he said. “We come to the market every Sunday.”

Carol Pascle said she bought

clothes and the jewelry.

“I got jewelry from Jody,” she said. “It’s fun to meet with all the people.” Michael added that Ventura County is a great place.

“There is always something to do in Ventura County,” he said.

“We’re going to go home and barbeque.”

One of the more inspiring stories came from Valarie Brown, who started VB Candles and Soaps because her family was in credit card debt in 2014.

“We were struggling to make ends meet, and I was wondering

what I could do to bring more income in,” she said. “This started, and it’s amazing. It’s been such a blessing and a third income for us.”

She featured soy candles that offer 100 hours of burn time.

“They don’t have any chemicals in them,” she said. “All our soaps are cold-pressed soaps, and everything is organic and homemade. “We also do body butter, made from shea butter, coconut, avocado, almond and plumose oil. Our body butter is one of our top sellers.”

neighborhood, I hear about this. When I go to Blackstock South, I hear about it there.

The downtown folks, it’s Plaza Park. When we talk to these neighborhoods, it’s these two parks. When we talk to Oxnard Shores, it’s 5th and Harbor, and when we talk to Southwind, it’s Ormond Beach.”

He said the homeless population has exploded over the years.

“Our patrol officers are handling at least 2,000 calls per year, at this point, and we know that number is much higher,” Benites said.

Two officers handle issues with the homeless, Officer Dan Cosio and Beat Coordinator Nathan Langelier, he said, and they have hard jobs.

“I wish I had 20 more of them,” Benites said. “Even if I did, the problem is not going to go away from enforcement.”

He called it a serious social issue.

“The police department has to balance between enforcement, problem-solving, and the larger issue we see coming out of this park,” he said. “Until we can get statewide care for people with mental illness and addiction, California can expect this problem to persist, but we will do our best to address it.”

After driving past the park twice a day, he said Hobson Park East has pressing issues.

“I brought the chief of police and city manager by the park a couple of weeks ago to see for themselves,” he said. “What we’ve done is make this park a priority.”

Benites called it a balancing act between rights for the homeless and vagrancy issues.

“All the criminal behavior, we have to adopt a zero tolerance, because that takes those parks away from you, your children, and the schools,” he said. “We have to work

together on this problem.”

The solution is to attack the source, he said, and one issue is people who bring material, food, and blankets to the park.

“I see every day, food scattered all over the place,” he said. “It draws them here like a magnet. Unfortunately, we don’t have an ordinance that prohibits that.”

Benites said it contributes to trash on the streets, seagulls eat the food, and so do children.

“We need to try to direct those services which provide that regularly,” he said.

He said the Oxnard Police Department arrested many people in the park for being there at night, drugs, alcohol and vagrancy issues.

“Until we address the causes, we’re going to continue doing that,” he said.

In comments after the meeting, Neighborhood Council Chairman Jack Villa said there are 48 neighborhoods in Oxnard, and he also sits on the executive board that oversees the group.

“We had a big turnout because it is a big issue here,” he said.

The neighborhood council has been talking with the police department for a while, he said, and many departments have a stake in Hobson Park East.

“When we tried to eliminate the vagrancy by eliminating the parking on one side (of the park) we created another problem because of a lack of parking for the residents,” he said. “Now we have to go back to the table and remedy the parking situation.”

He said vagrancy is the top issue.

“It overflows into the neighborhood with crime,” he said. “This was a good start.”

Councilman Bert Perello said the turnout was great and there is a common interest.

“The trick is going to be keeping them involved until they get a successful outcome,” he said. “No matter what the issue, whether it’s homelessness in the park, crime, a levee, or water in the harbor, you’ve got to keep the people involved.”

He said there are needles all over the park.

“A lot of people, because of their maybe immigration status, they’re afraid to speak up,” he said. “That is a problem.”

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez thanked the crowd for coming.

“The city is here to serve you,” she said. “While we can’t make miracles happen, we have to work together and use our resources as best we can.”

Hobson East continued from page 1

said.

In the last six months, she had encounters with the homeless at her home approximately four times.

“One day I called the police, and I tried to take a picture of her, and she started saying you can’t take my picture, you can’t take my picture, I’m going to sue,” she said.

Her response was “Oh dear God in Heaven.”

“She started running at me like a bull,” Montgomery said.

“There was one day I was in Boston on vacation and my son was home. I happened to call him, and he said ‘mom there is this woman, and she is beating on our door.' I asked if he answered it and he said no, and I said good.”

She knows the police department has a lot on their plates.

“Somebody has got to give our department more money for more manpower,” she said. “I know that we’ve got a homeless task force. Those guys are trying hard to work on it. I understand the homeless have rights too, but where do those rights end and ours begin?”

Montgomery said a homeless shelter wouldn't help.

"These crazies are not going to use a shelter," she said. "I have a friend that used to do feedings at the park with his Christian outreach, and the last time he was here, his son went up to him and asked if he should take plates to a group.”

"Vincent Cerrano is his name, and he said no son, those aren't homeless people, those are thugs. These are the people who like being homeless."

Assistant Chief Jason Benites said he is sympathetic to the situation with the homeless and the vagrancy problems.

“In my opinion, this is one of Oxnard’s leading issues,” he said. “When I go to the Wilson

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

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.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JUDITH MCINTYRE in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JUDITH MCINTYRE 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.

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.

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.

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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018

HEALTH L.A. County Has New Technology to Track Missing Persons with Alzheimer’s, Autism, Dementia The L.A. Found initiative officially went live this week, in conjunction with a new L.A. Found ad campaign. L.A. Found (formerly known as the Bring Our Loved Ones Home initiative) is a groundbreaking countywide program, led by Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor Janice Hahn, to help locate individuals with dementia or autism who wander.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month their arsenal for detecting prostate cancer. In addition to the digital rectal exam (DRE) patients can have a simple blood test called a prostate-specific antigen (PSA), that will detect a majority of prostate problems early. Since the PSA has been used, prostate cancer deaths have declined and the number of successfully treated prostate cancer cases has risen.

During September—Prostate Cancer Awareness Month—Men’s Health Network is urging men to talk to their healthcare providers about prostate cancer. They also encourage women to get involved and urge their husbands, fathers, brothers, and other loved ones to talk to their healthcare provider about prostate screening, including

the PSA and DRE tests.

A federally staffed panel of experts, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), recommends that men age 55-69 should speak to their healthcare provider about using the PSA test to screen for prostate cancer. But Men's Health Network, many other patient advocate organizations, and many healthcare providers don't think that goes far enough.

Men’s Heath Network urges the following men to talk to their healthcare provider about routine prostate cancer screening: • All men over age 50, and at age 40 for African Americans • Men with a family history of prostate cancer • Veterans exposed to Agent

Orange, and • Men exposed to pesticides and certain other chemicals.

If you are on Medicare, prostate cancer screening is a part of your Welcome to Medicare physical, the free comprehensive physical exam you receive in your first year of eligibility. But you may have to ask for the "Welcome" physical since many healthcare providers don't seem to know about it. And, Medicare continues to cover prostate cancer screening in following years.

No insurance and limited funds?

Watch for free screenings in your area. Many healthcare providers, hospitals, clinics, and health fairs offer free prostate screenings in September and at other times during the year.

Mom's Use of Opioids in Pregnancy May Stunt Kids' Learning

By Lindsey Tanner CHICAGO (AP)—Learning disabilities and other special education needs are common in children born with opioid-related symptoms from their mother's drug use while pregnant, according to the first big U.S. study to examine potential long-term problems in these infants.

About 1 in 7 affected children required special classroom services for problems including developmental delays and speech or language difficulties, compared with about 1 in 10 children not exposed to opioids before birth, the study found.

The study highlights the “absolutely critical” importance of early detection and intervention, before these children reach school age, to give them a better chance of academic success, said Dr. Nathalie Maitre, a developmental specialist at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. “It really confirms what those of us who do neurodevelopment follow-up of these children are seeing.”

The study involved about 7,200 children aged 3 to 8 enrolled in Tennessee's Medicaid program. Nearly 2,000 of them were born with what doctors call “neonatal abstinence syndrome.” It's a collection of symptoms caused by withdrawal from their pregnant mother's use of opioid drugs like prescription painkillers,

Suicidal thoughts or behaviors are both damaging and dangerous and are therefore considered a psychiatric emergency. Someone experiencing these thoughts should seek immediate assistance from a health or mental health care provider. Having suicidal thoughts does not mean someone is weak or flawed.

According to the CDC, suicide rates have increased by 30% since 1999. Nearly 45,000 lives were lost to suicide in 2016 alone.

Know the Warning Signs • Threats or comments about killing themselves, also known as suicidal ideation, can begin with seemingly harmless thoughts like “I wish I wasn’t here” but can become more overt and dangerous • Increased alcohol and drug use • Aggressive behavior • Social withdrawal from friends, family and the community • Dramatic mood swings • Talking, writing or thinking about death • Impulsive or reckless behavior

The initiative establishes a voluntary system of trackable bracelets (provided by Project Lifesaver) for at-risk individuals.

While the Project Lifesaver bracelet is not under constant monitoring, when an individual wearing a bracelet goes missing, caregivers can inform the L.A. County Sheriff ’s Department who will deploy receivers to locate the missing person.

Receivers are either handheld or mounted onto Sheriff Department first responder helicopters.

Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer in men, lung cancer being first, striking approximately 165,000 men each year with about 30,000 dying of the disease.

Caught early, prostate cancer can be treated, usually successfully.

But remember, in early stages, prostate cancer has no symptoms, so don't wait for "something bad" to happen to Get It Checked.

Compared with other men, African-American men and men with a family history of the disease are at higher risk of developing prostate cancer. A man with a father or brother who had prostate cancer is twice as likely to develop the disease.

For almost 30 years, doctors have had a powerful weapon in

heroin or fentanyl. The drugs can pass through the placenta into the developing nervous system.

Tremors, hard-to-soothe crying, diarrhea and difficulty feeding and sleeping are among signs that infants are going through withdrawal.

In Tennessee, hard hit by the nation's opioid epidemic, the rate of affected infants soared from less than one per 1,000 hospital births in 1999 to 13 per 1,000 births in 2015.

The study highlights the “absolutely critical” importance of early detection and intervention, before these children reach school age.

Whether the study results would apply elsewhere is uncertain but in Tennessee, most children born with withdrawal symptoms are enrolled in that state's Medicaid program.

Also in Tennessee, a syndrome diagnosis qualifies kids to receive early intervention services.

Maitre, who wasn't involved in the study, said she suspects the research

may underestimate the magnitude of the problem, because it only captures kids who haven't slipped through the cracks.

The only previous comparable study was in Australia, published last year, showing that affected children had worse academic test scores in seventh grade than other kids.

The new study looked at how many kids were referred for possible learning disabilities and received school-based services for related difficulties. It did not examine academic performance.

Results were released Thursday by the journal Pediatrics .

The researchers said taking into account other factors that could affect children's development—including birth weight and mothers' education and tobacco use—didn't change the results.

Study co-author Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University said it makes sense that opioid use in pregnancy could affect children's later development. Some studies have found brain differences in affected children including in a region involved in certain types of learning.

But Dr. Mary-Margaret Fill, the lead author and a researcher with Tennessee's health department, said these children “are definitely not doomed. There are great programs and services that exist to help these children and their families. We just have to make sure they get plugged in.”

Is There Imminent Danger?

Any person exhibiting these behaviors should get care immediately: • Putting their affairs in order and giving away their possessions • Saying goodbye to friends and family • Mood shifts from despair to calm • Planning, possibly by looking around to buy, steal or borrow the tools they need to complete suicide, such as a firearm or prescription medication If you are unsure, a licensed mental health professional can help assess risk.

Can Thoughts of Suicide Be Prevented?

Mental health professionals are trained to help a person understand their feelings and can improve mental wellness and resiliency.

Depending on their training they can provide effective ways to help.

Psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, can help a person with thoughts of suicide recognize unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior, validate troubling feelings, and learn coping skills.

Medication can be used if necessary to treat underlying depression and anxiety and can lower a person’s risk of hurting themselves. Depending on the person’s mental health diagnosis, other medications can be used to alleviate symptoms.

'ER' actress Vanessa Marquez killed in police shootout

Sam Cooke to Whitney Houston: The Funerals of Musical Greats

By Leane Italie NEW YORK (AP)—Elvis and Whitney, Prince and Biggie. And now, Aretha.

The funerals and public memorials of music royalty have been as varied as the work they created. Some were private affairs and others lasted days with tributes around the world.

The body of James Brown went through three wardrobe changes. Sam Cooke's body was on public view in Los Angeles for three days. More than 80,000 people descended on the procession route for Elvis Presley in Memphis. And Janis Joplin? She set aside $2,500 for a party.

Maya Angelou wrote a poem for Michael Jackson's funeral and Whitney Houston's send-off lasted four hours.

LOS ANGELES (AP)—An actress who appeared on the TV medical drama “ER” and starred in the film “Stand and Deliver” was fatally shot by police officers in South Pasadena after they say she pointed a replica handgun at them.

Vanessa Marquez, who gained attention last year when she said George Clooney helped blacklist her from Hollywood, died at a hospital following Thursday's shooting at her apartment.

South Pasadena police officers responded to a call from Marquez's landlord that she needed medical help. When they arrived she was having a seizure, Lt. Joe Mendoza with the Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Department said Friday.

Paramedics treated Marquez, 49, who improved and began talking with three officers and a mental health clinician who spent an hour-and-a-half trying to talk her into getting medical help, Mendoza said.

Marquez became uncooperative, appeared unable to care for herself and seemed to

showed no signs of depression or other mental troubles. She still talked about her dream of winning an Oscar one day and was hopeful for a career comeback, he said.

“She was looking forward to life,” Canote said. “This is not a woman who wanted to die.”

She was looking forward to life, this is not a woman who wanted to die.

Friend Terence Towles Canote have mental health issues, he said.

At some point, Mendoza said Marquez got what turned out to be a BB gun and pointed it at the officers, prompting two of them to shoot. “It looked like a real gun,” he said, adding that it's unclear where the gun was during her lengthy interaction with police.

The officers were wearing body cameras but footage won't be released for at least six months pending the investigation, Mendoza said.

Terence Towles Canote, a close friend of Marquez's, said the actress was having health and financial problems but that she

Marquez posted extensively on Facebook and elsewhere about her health problems, saying she was terminally ill and had seizures and celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that can damage the small intestine if gluten is ingested.

In 2014, she said in an online post that she had spent her life savings on doctors and hospitals who didn't properly treat her and that she couldn't work or “do most basic everyday functions.”

Marquez had a recurring role during the first several years of “ER,” which ran from 1994 to 2009.

She also appeared on episodes of

“Seinfeld,” “Melrose Place” and “Malcolm & Eddie” but her career largely fizzled after “ER.” Marquez gained attention last year after tweeting that Clooney helped blacklist her from Hollywood when she complained about sexual harassment and racist comments among their “ER” co-stars. Clooney said in a statement to “US Weekly” at the time that he was just an actor on the show and was unaware of any effort to blacklist her.

“If she was told I was involved in any decision about her career then she was lied to,” he said.

“The fact that I couldn't affect her career is only surpassed by the fact that I wouldn't.”

In one of her social media posts, Marquez talked about being grateful to be a part of “Stand and Deliver,” a 1988 film about math teacher Jaime Escalante who motivated struggling students at Garfield High School in East LA. “If you're truly fortunate, you get to live your dream and do the work you were put on this Earth to do,” she wrote. “If you're really, really fortunate you do a film that makes history and affects the lives of millions of people ... It will live on long after we're gone.”

Acclaimed ‘Funk Brother’ Eddie Willis Dead at 82

By Stacy M. Brown Eddie “Chank” Willis, a member of the famed Motown session group known as “The Funk Brothers,” died at his home in Gore Springs, Mississippi.

The 82-year-old was part of a team of musicians who helped create some of the most memorable hits in music history. “His guitar playing was heard worldwide on countless Motown Records classics, including the Marvelettes’ ‘Please Mr. Postman,’ and Stevie Wonder’s ‘I Was Made to Love Her,’ and ‘My Cherie Amour,’” the Recording Academy said in a

statement.

With the Funk Brothers, Willis earned two Grammys at the 45th ceremony in 2003 – Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for ‘What’s Going On’ with Chaka Khan and Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media for “Standing in the Shadows of Motown.”

In 2004, the Funk Brothers’ incredible accomplishments were recognized with the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Willis played electric guitar and occasional electric sitar for the Funk

Brothers during the 1960s and early 1970s.

Among other recordings Willis performed on are “The Way You Do the Things You Do” by The Temptations and “You Keep Me Hanging On” by The Supremes. Influences for Willis include Chet Atkins, Wes Montgomery, and Albert King. He played a Gibson Firebird guitar on most his early 1960s work, later moving on to use a Gibson ES-335. On recordings such as The Supremes’ “No Matter What Sign You Are,” Willis performed on a Coral sitar.

In his 2003 memoir Motown: The View from The Bottom, Willis’ fellow

Funk Brother Jack Ashford wrote: “Joe Messina, Eddie Willis and Robert White always held down the guitar section. If all three were not on a session, two would definitely be there.

“How could three guitarists not get in each other’s way and still be effective? The producer would have the arrangements prepared but the three would organize their parts and play them so flawlessly it would be like they were smoothly fused together.”

Willis will be remembered as a highly regarded session player who helped craft the signature Motown Sound. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends,

and loved ones during this difficult time, the Recording Academy said in a statement.

A GoFundMe page has been established to help pay for the funeral of one of Motown’s unsung legends.

According to the GoFundMe page, he’s known for his signature style of muted guitar riffs which added a distinctive tone or “color” to the beat, often timed with the snare, of the hundreds of hit songs recorded at Hitsville U.S.A. for Motown artists.
