The lines were long at the Ventura County Coastal Cleanup event at Oxnard Beach, as lots of people came out to make a difference.

COASTAL CLEANUP ENGAGES THE COMMUNITY

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

Oxnard - Neighbors banded together to help the environment, Sept.

15, as the Ventura County Coastal Cleanup produced safe and clean beaches for everyone to enjoy.

At Oxnard Beach, lines of people waited to join in the fun as a local radio station kept the beat going and teams gathered to plan their strategy before heading out.

Oxnard Sustainability Coordinator Trish Honigsberg has worked for the city for 18 years and decided to join the Coastal Cleanup Committee.

“It's a committee of all the cities in Ventura County,” she said. “We all participate and put on this event.” She said Coastal Cleanup Day is a world-wide event.

“It’s always on the third Saturday in Sept., and we get a lot of volunteers,” she said. “At last

count, we had 375 people, and I am thinking it’s going to be a little more (this year) because we’ve had more come in to register.”

Honigsberg said it’s a fun activity for friends and family.

“You come on out, and it’s my favorite event because it’s low key,” she said. “It’s at the beach, so how can it not be fun?”

In addition to cleaning up the trash and recycling at the beach,

she said it raises awareness about how important being a custodian to the environment can be.

“If you bring your kids out to clean up the beach, they’re probably going to be less likely to litter, because they are going to remember how they picked up other people’s trash,” she said. “It’s a learning opportunity.”

She said small items are the biggest culprit on the beach.

“Cigarette butts are the number one item every year,” Honigsberg said. “They are toxic and full of plastic. The fact you’re picking up the small stuff means it’s not going in the ocean.”

She said if a volunteer runs into medical waste or something suspicious, their job is to identify the item, if possible.

Nature Crafts Engage Kids at Camarillo Grove State Park

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Camarillo - Children of all ages got to experience a free nature craft event at Camarillo Grove State Park, Sept. 17, and blended the great outdoors with items from the area to create treasures that will last a lifetime.

Kids got to color, learn about animals and see the local fauna and flora, courtesy of the staff at the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District.

Recreation Coordinator Katlyn Simber-Clickener said the park featured 31 different events in 31 days last July and one of the more popular programs was craft day at the nature center.

“We decided to bring it back,” she said.

One of the more popular activities was grass heads, she said, where the children each filled a stocking with grass seed and soil.

“They decorate it, give it a face and in about 2-3 days, they’ll have grass hair popping up,” she said.

“They’re also doing bird feeders

out of pine cones and Crisco. They smear the Crisco on the pine cone and roll the cone in bird seed.

“The birds are attracted to it,” she said. “We have taxidermy animals, a skunk, Miley the coyote, Bobby the bobcat and Todd the fox.”

She said the group was also creating nature journals, a coloring sheet, and a quail call.

“Recreation Specialist Sarah Scrivano and I sat down and looked what we’ve done in the past

and what activities the children really enjoyed and want to do,” Simber-Clickener said. “The kids like doing this and enjoy getting dirty to do the bird feeders.”

She noted there were plenty of paper towels handy for cleanup after using the Crisco.

“It’s also a dog park and safe out here, but we do want people to know there is wildlife in the area,” she said.

Seeing the community come together, she said, is the best part

of her job.

“The Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District is here to meet the needs and engage our community in the outdoors,” she said. “These crafts are geared to a nature theme.”

Scrivano said the kids were interested in the taxidermy animals they could touch.

She demonstrated the quail call that was made out of a clothes pin with a big smile.

“I’ve been working in outdoor education and this is my forth year now,” she said. “I was traveling all over the place, and now I’m back here in Camarillo because I went to California State University Channel Islands. I am spreading my knowledge of the outdoors with others.”

She loves inspiring youngsters to go outside.

“My dad would take me sailing out in the Ventura Harbor and we would see dolphins up close,” she said. “I’ve loved being outside ever since I was a kid.”

The city donates the recycling and trash removal, she said, as the trash goes to the landfill and recycling goes to the recycling center at 111 South Del Norte Blvd.She loves meeting all the people who share a common goal to make the environment better.

“It's the camaraderie when you’re out here, and everybody is happy,” she said. “It’s a feel-good event.”

Participant Laura Wertele said the event was profitable for her.

Council Approves Five-Year Homeless Plan

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The Oxnard City Council took a step toward alleviating homelessness in the city and approved its five-year homeless plan during its Sept. 18, meeting.

According to the 2018 Point in Time Homeless Count, on any given day there are estimated to be nearly 400 people in Oxnard living on the streets, in vehicles, shelters, transitional housing, or with friends and family in temporary situations.

Homeless Assistance Coordinator Mark Alvarado told the council that addressing homelessness is a strategic council priority and in 2016, they approved a quality-oflife strategy to solve the problem through a multi-tiered approach.

“When people think about homelessness, a lot of times we just think about the vagrancy, but it’s complex,” he said.

He said 30 different strategies highlight the plan through nine city departments.

“It’s a living breathing document,” Alvarado said. “It’s like a business plan.

We’ll be able to check-in every year, see what’s working and what’s not working, and we can come back to mayor and council to provide updates.”

He said the plan is not going to sit on the shelf and will be implemented.

The centerpiece item around the plan, Alvarado said, establishes a 24-hour yearround shelter and navigation center.

ROAD RAGE LEADS TO ARREST OPD investigates multiple DUI related crashes Officers responded to a single vehicle traffic collision at the intersection of Saviers Rd. and Hill St. Prior to the crash, a caller reported the vehicle was driving erratically without its headlights on. The investigation revealed the vehicle hit a power pole, a chain linked fence, a wall, overturned, and came to rest upside down.

The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle sustained only minor injuries related to an airbag deployment. He was arrested for driving under the influence. During the investigation, officers learned the driver was previously arrested for driving under the influence and was scheduled to appear in court later that morning for the previous DUI charge.

On Sunday alone, within a 24-hour period, the Department investigated three DUI related collisions.

One of the Oxnard Police Department's four main priorities is improving traffic safety. Mid-year traffic statistics for this year showed DUI related collisions were down 19%, in comparison to last year. Injury accidents were also down 7.7%. The improved traffic safety statistics are a direct result of the concerted efforts of the officers focusing on traffic safety; However, as the above DUI statistics and accident illustrate, there is still much work to be done in this area.

The Oxnard Police Department thanks the public for reporting DUI drivers, as they pose a significant public safety concern to all our residents.

On Sept. 7, at approximately 2:45 p.m., Officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the area of Hemlock Street and Ventura Road reference a subject that brandished a firearm towards the victim.

This incident stemmed from a road rage incident that occurred just previously to the brandishing. The brandishing happened in the 400 block of South Ventura Road As officers were speaking with the victim, officers from the Port Hueneme Police Department observed a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle in the area of Channel Islands Boulevard and Ventura Road and stopped the vehicle in the 1400 block of East Channel Islands Boulevard. During this stop, a witness told officers that the driver of the car, identified as 26-yearold Oxnard resident Israel Olguin, threw a firearm out of the vehicle before yielding for the officers.

Officers retrieved the firearm, a loaded .22 caliber handgun.

The victim positively identified Olguin as the subject who brandished a firearm towards him.

The victim’s young daughter was also with the victim during the brandishing.

An Oxnard Police Service Dog (PSD) assisted with the search of the suspect vehicle. PSD “Capone” located a significant amount of a substance suspected to be heroin in the vehicle.

Officers also discovered other items consistent with the sale of the drug inside the vehicle, as well as a large amount of cash found on the suspect.

McKinna Elementary School groundbreaking set for Oct 11

(OXNARD, CA) – After extensive planning, design, preconstruction work, and support from the community, the Oxnard School District will have an official groundbreaking celebrating the reconstruction of McKinna Elementary School on Thursday, October 11, 2018. The event will take place at the school, 1611 South J Street, Oxnard CA 93033, from 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. All members of the community are encouraged to attend the ceremony to celebrate this milestone made possible through local support.

The project includes the construction of a new two-story

classroom building, library, administration space, multipurpose room, playfields, hard courts, and support spaces. The new school is to be constructed in the current playfield areas allowing for classroom instruction to continue at the older facility until completion of the replacement school construction.

The new facility will be accessed from a new parking and dropoff provided at “N” Street. Once completed, they will demolish the older structures and new playfields and remaining support facilities will take their place.

Classrooms have been designed to support 21st-century 360-degree

learning environments with wallto-wall, floor-to-ceiling whiteboards allowing any surface to be written upon to help spark creativity and critical thinking, and multiple high definition monitors allowing educational content to be wirelessly broadcasted and shared instantly from handheld computing devices.

Specified support facilities, administration areas, library, food service, multipurpose room, restrooms, and playfields for school and community use will be part of the new campus.

The Oxnard School District says the new school will be ready in December 2019. Financing is made

possible due to local support for Measure D that has supported the OSD’s efforts towards improving its educational program and facilities.

“This new McKinna Elementary School marks the fourth new school made possible due to local support,” said Dr. Cesar Morales, OSD Superintendent. “Our students benefit from these new 21st century facilities.

We look forward to providing the McKinna community with this new state-of-the-art school.”

The Oxnard School District currently educates approximately 16,200 students in transitional kindergarten through eighth grade at twenty-one schools.

End of Watch: Sept. 17, 2018 On Sept. 17, 2018, at 1:44 p.m., the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Communications Center received a 911 call regarding a disturbance at a local business located at the 10000 block of Folsom Boulevard in Rancho Cordova. Two officers with the Rancho Cordova Police Department, a contract city with the Sacramento County Sheriff ’s Department, responded to the scene. The initial call for service did not indicate that the suspect was armed or dangerous. Upon arriving on the scene, Deputies Julie Robertson and Mark Stasyuk were fired upon by the suspect and able to return fire.

The suspect fled from the initial scene on foot and was again engaged by other responding deputies at a secondary location. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital, where he is in stable condition.

During the initial encounter, Deputies Robertson and Stasyuk were shot by the suspect. Deputy Robertson, a three-and-a-half-year veteran, was shot in the arm and is in stable condition.

Tragically, Deputy Stasyuk’s injuries were not survivable, and he passed away shortly after arriving at UC Davis Medical Center.

Council Recognizes Hispanic Heritage Month

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Suzanne Bellah accepts a proclamation from the Oxnard City Council.

(Photo by Chris Frost) The Oxnard City Council took some time from its busy Sept. 18, agenda to recognize and celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month from Sept-Oct 15 in the city.

Cultural Arts Supervisor Suzanne Bellah said she is honored to participate in the proclamation.

“The Carnegie Art Museum was

one of the first museums to collect California Latino Art,” she said. “It began in 1998 with a brilliant still life painting by Frank Romero.”

That painting, along with several others, is currently on display, she said, for everyone to enjoy.

“The museum has many upcoming events coming up in keeping with Hispanic Heritage Month, and the Day of the Dead season,” she said. Through Nov. 18, Bellah said the museum has World View Cosmo Vision showing contemporary art on display.

“The CAM studio gallery next door has paintings by guest artist

Vanessa Wallace-Gonzales, and on food truck night, Oct 4, the CAM studio gallery will be open late to show Vanessa’s work. Also the Oxnard Plane Collective, which is a collection of artists who do digitalbased art.”

On Oct. 20, she said the museum would hold its Fiesta Noche de Recuerdos.

“This is our major fundraiser, and we’ll have music and all sorts of surprises,” she said. “They do this fundraising to help supplement the exhibits and education programs, and we’ve coordinated those with the Day of the Dead season and

Hispanic Heritage Month.”

She said the events culminate on Nov. 3, from noon until 3 p.m. with its Dia de Los Muertos Family Day. “We’ll have dancing, singing, and many art projects,” she said.

Mayor Tim Flynn said the city started observing Hispanic Heritage Month in 1988.

“This country has drawn strength from the diversity of its people, whether their ancestors have been here for generations, or they are among the newest members of our American family, each adding their own distinct and dynamic perspective to our country’s story.”

Peggy Rivera said she is the most seasoned homeless commission member, and she’s seen the good, bad and ugly.

“We’re in the same place we were 14 years ago,” she said. “We’ve moved up a little bit, we’ve gotten a little bit better, but there are still a lot of gaps in this program.”

She thanked the council for their efforts to get the money together for a homeless shelter but said there is a serious homeless problem in the city.

“I don’t know how to fix it, and I’ll tell you I’m frustrated,” she said.

She said the plan needs more work.

“We asked for more time, and we were told no,” she said.

Barbara Macri-Ortiz said the plan attempts to address the homeless problem but is missing a critical ingredient.

“We have a housing crisis, and the big problem is there are too many people who can’t afford housing,” she said. “The plan works backward, we’re swimming upstream. We need to go forward and work proactively, or we’ll never solve our housing problem.”

She said the plan rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic.

“The plan may be good on the front end, but folks need to have a place called home at the end of the line,” she said. “If we don’t have that, we have nothing.”

She pointed out the plan allocates $1.2 million to the Oxnard Police Department to reduce the transient population.

“The police department cannot be expected to be the caretakers of those deck chairs on the Titanic,” she said. “The funds dedicated to the transient problem are throwing money away because all the police are going to be able to do is move the problem around.”

Francine Castanon said the commission on homelessness passed the plan because “it is a changeable document.”

“This is not set in stone,” she said.

“Regarding the housing, yes, this is an issue, and we have requested several times that some of the city jobs be put on a project labor agreement and require a local hire.”

During Council comments, Council Member Oscar Madrigal said homelessness touches every aspect of life in Oxnard.

“One key thing that came up is the fact of implementation,” he said.

“I think as a council, we’re big on theory, but we need to push on that

practice part.”

He said where homeless people go is a non-stop issue.

“People are going from one park to another,” he said. “Once police show up they go to a different park.”

Madrigal said people are compassionate until they show up in their neighborhood, then it becomes an issue.

“That speaks for the majority, unfortunately,” he said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said there is a consensus about the plan from the homeless commission, but there is still some disagreement.

“I respect that,” she said. “I attended a community meeting about Hobson Park a few weeks ago, and many people were concerned about people in the park and what

homeless, on a merry-go-round, on Groundhog Day. If you clear them out of one park, you’re going to find them in another park.”

He pointed out there are some issues with the homeless that requires police attention.

“We need to manage the problem, while simultaneously trying to solve the problem,” he said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said homelessness is a state-wide problem.

“On my trips to the east coast, I see the same thing in Washington D.C.,” he said.

He said the city falls short with long-term and chronic homelessness but does well with catastrophic homelessness.

“It may be because they have demons they are not dealing with, being mental health, drugs or whatever,” he said. “As a society, we’re not doing anything about that.”

MacDonald said he'd been accused of wanting to criminalize homelessness.

“I don’t,” he said. “On the other side of the coin, homesteading private property or public property where people are afraid to use it, or go to work, the park or beach because of people who live therte, that’s unfair to the rest of the community. That’s how we get the balance in there and how we can help the population that needs help and how do we protect the areas that people have a right to go to.”

Councilman Bert Perello said he is one of five council members who hired Nguyen unanimously.

“He has experience in dealing with this in much larger cities than we have,” he said. “As he said, this is not going to go away, it’s not going to be solved, but he has some different ideas. I’ve invested my vote, confidence, trust and along with that, my ability to hold him accountable in the city manager.

The city manager asked for this to be approved.”

Mayor Tim Flynn said the primary goal is to get a homeless shelter that is compatible with the city.“This homeless plan, and I will support it, is an ongoing thing,” he said. “In order for us to allocate funds to one department or another, we have to approve those allocations.”

He said the community gives him more feedback about homelessness than any other issue ever.

“I think it’s time that we act, get the shelter, and get it open,” he said.

Council Approves continued from page 1

community partnerships and alliances and coordinating street outreach is critical,” he said.

He said the city is working closely with Gabriel’s House to increase beds for homeless children.

“We see more of that every day, mothers and children,” he said.

Alvarado said mental health and social services are another big part of the plan.

“When I met the city manager, Alex Nguyen, he said to use the housing-first approach, and that’s what we need to do,” Alvarado said. “We need to build sustainable long-term housing with services for our community. That’s how we are going to see less impact on the streets.”

He said the first issue is contentious, and the city is going to target vagrancy and negative chronic transient behavior.

“We need to expand that coordinated entry and exit system out of homelessness,” he said.

“People have to own their pathway.

That’s the only way it works.”

During public comments, Yukio Okano said he is a member of the Oxnard Commission on Homelessness and advocates approving the five-year plan.

“The plan represents input from many sectors of city government,” he said. “The plan has also been reviewed on several occasions by the commission on homelessness.

We all know that homelessness is a complex problem and we’re long overdue to create a comprehensive plan to address the problem.

The five-year plan is a working document to guide the city.”

Homelessness Commission Vice Chair Lucy Cartagena asked the council to postpone a decision about the plan, so more talks transpire.

“It came to us on Aug. 6, and we didn’t have a quorum,” she said. ”I asked for a special meeting so the rest of the commissioners can look at this document.”

A successful pilot park safe sleep program that allows $65,000 per site, she said, is crazy.

“I don’t know what money we are going to get for our safe sleep program and pay $65,000 per site,” she said.

She pointed out goal 22 of the homeless plan, where they would provide a safe crossing from Gabriel’s house to the county HHS building.

“We are not in the job of putting up street signs,” Cartagena said. “It’s ludicrous.”

My favorite description of taking that approach to homelessness is playing whack-a-mole with the homeless, on a merry-go-round, on Groundhog Day. City Manager Alex Nguyen

to do about it, and I appreciate Mr. (Jesus) Nava, Mr. (Karl) Lawson, and Assistant Chief Jason Benites talking to people about what the city can and cannot do.”

She was hesitant to delay the plan.

“As people said, it is a living document and can be amended,” she said.

She called the housing issue a phenomenon that extends nationally and asked Nguyen if they can expect more housing during his tenure.

Nguyen said the issue is broad and complicated and was not surprised there is not a consensus.

“We don’t need to wait for the perfect mousetrap. Because it’s not there,” he said. “The boom in the homeless population is caused primarily by the abdication of the state, as well as some unwise voter initiatives.”

He would like to solve the homeless problem, but the reality is it needs management.

“Every city, certainly in Southern California, out the gate, it’s all policing,” he said. “My favorite description of taking that approach is playing whack-a-mole with the

said the activity sounded like fun.

“It’s getting outside with them and having them do something that’s fun,” she said. Atticus had just finished making a bird feeder and was attracted to Todd the fox.

“It’s fun,” he said.

Simber-Clickener said the next big event is on Halloween, Oct. 31.

“It’s at our community center which is off Carmen and Burnley in Camarillo,” she said. “It’s from 5-8 p.m., it’s free so kids can come out in their costumes. We’ll have a trick-ortreat village, a costume contest and they’ll be pumpkins.”

For more information, call the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District at 805-482-1996 and ask what is coming up or get an activity guide.

than that, I found a few cigarette butts and food wrappers. Not that much.”

She said the beach is an important place for her.

“I care about our environment, and do a lot of volunteer work,” she said. “I participate with the Girl Scout troop, and a couple of the girls are out here today.” April Beltran and Belen Medrano were on a mom and daughter cleanup crusade.

“April’s teacher gave her a permission slip, so I gave her permission, and I’m here,” Medrano said. “I was going to drop her off, but I am helping.” She was happy to clean up the beach.

“We’re doing something good,” Medrano said. Beltran goes to middle school and is in the sixth grade.

“It looked like fun,” she said.

“Instead of being home I can help. We found a lot of cigarette butts, paper, and plastic.” Medrano thinks the beach is a great place and cleaned an area where they usually swim.

“There is a park right there,” she said. “There is also a barbecue and shade there (at the park). It’s a great place to come.”

Benda Vazquez from the Channel Islands Girl Scout Service Unit 652 came out in full force with a team of scouts and collected a lot of debris.

“It shows the girls how to give back to the community, and we tie it into one of the badges, the outdoor badge, we are working on,” she said. “This is our second year coming together as a troop.”

She said the girls found many interesting things. “Some things you see every day,” she said. “The most interesting items are the batteries, I think. We also found fireworks and a lot of cigarette butts.”

Brianna Gonzalez said she found a lot of stuff and thinks it’s terrible that people pollute the beach.

“It’s nice to help the animals not get sick and die,” she said.

Rianna Salrno jumped at the chance to help.

“My mom woke me up,” she said.

“I just started last year, so I don’t have that many badges, but I am still working on them.”

Vazquez said kids interested in becoming a Girl Scout should contact their service unit.

“Go to the Girl Scouts Page online, and it will ask you to put in your zip code,” she said. “It will direct you to the right troop.”

OPED Where’s Sherlock Holmes When You Need Him?

Dr. James L. Snyder

I, like so many people, love a good mystery. I have read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories, the Father Brown stories and other good mystery novels. I just like trying to solve a good mystery.

A good mystery does not reveal the mystery until the very end. All the way through the story, importance evidence points to that person and the other person and so forth.

However, you must read the end of the story to find out the answer to the mystery.

Mysteries do not just exist in novels for short stories. In my case, mysteries are all through my life.

I cannot manage one day without some kind of a mystery.

It is not because I am getting older either. As I remember my younger days, it too was filled with mysteries.

I remember that one Christmas Eve when I was going to solve the mystery of Santa Claus. I heard about this mysterious person, but I had never seen him and this Christmas, I promised myself, I am going to see who this Santa Claus really is.

That night my parents sent me and my brother and sister to bed early because it was Christmas Eve. We had our little party around the Christmas tree and admired where all the Christmas gifts should be come morning.

Then at the strike of 10 o’clock, we were sent to our bedrooms to await the coming of Santa Claus and the Christmas gifts. I decided to stay up and just see how Mr. Santa Claus worked his mystery on Christmas Eve. Hiding in the shadows, I could see my mother and father around the Christmas tree drinking some Christmas punch, talking and laughing. They seemed to be having a good time. I was a little irritated because they were having a good time at my expense.

Then I heard my mother say, “Don’t you think it’s about time?”

My mother and father looked at each other and giggled one of those hilarious giggles. My father said, “It sure is. Let’s go and get them.”

At the time, I really did not understand what he was talking about. What were they supposed to

go and get? Why won’t they get out of the way so Santa Claus can come and do his “thing?”

They soon disappeared and I got excited because I figured the next person coming into the living room would be Santa Claus himself.

I faintly heard from the hall, “Shhhhhh, we don’t want to wake up the kids.”

Then I saw something I never anticipated my whole life. My mother and father came into the living room carrying Christmas gifts and carefully placed them under the Christmas tree. They made several trips and it was not long before the Christmas tree was loaded with all kinds of Christmas gifts.

I just could not believe my eyes.

For years, my parents told us the tale of Santa Claus along with Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. They told it in such a way that I believed every word. Now, before me was evidence that what they were telling me all

these years presented as a mystery, was not a mystery at all.

I just solved the biggest mystery in my life up to that point. My parents were Santa Claus. It was hard for me to swallow that information. It was not the mystery I wanted to solve.

Now I had another mystery on my hands. Do I tell my brother and sister

Mysteries are all through my life; I cannot manage one day without some kind of a mystery. that I had solved the biggest mystery we had in our home?

To reveal the mystery to them would give me great satisfaction.

On the other hand, to reveal the mystery to them would greatly disappoint them.

Now that I have solved that

mystery, what do I do? Do I go for my satisfaction or do I protect my siblings from being disappointed?

It was then that I had solved the biggest mystery in life. That being, every mystery you solve presents a bigger mystery you cannot solve.

That seems to be the way of life.

I am glad I learned that when I was young because it has been beneficial to me down through the years. I have learned to live with mysteries with no desire to uncover those mysteries.

When I say, “no desire,” I do not mean that literally. Yes, there have been many mysteries I have wanted to solve. But my biggest discipline is to let a mystery be a mystery.

This is so helpful to me, especially since I became a husband.

Every husband knows that his wife, as wonderful as she is, is a basket full of mysteries.

When I first got married, I thought my job was to solve every one of those mysteries. I learned

very quickly that solving a marital mystery, particularly on the feminine side, is rather a dangerous venture with no good marks behind it.

Some things are better left in the mystery basket of life.

Paul understood this when he wrote, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1 Timothy 3:16).

Some mysteries are too sacred to try to solve, rather we should rejoice in the mysteries associated with our Father which art in heaven.

OPED The Test of Our Progress

By Marian Wright Edelman "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

These words are from President Franklin Roosevelt’s second inaugural address given January 20, 1937. The President was speaking to a nation crawling out of the Great Depression. Progress had been made but President Roosevelt knew a great nation was still capable of so much more. Below is what preceded that passage: "[H]ere is the challenge to our democracy: In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens—a substantial part of its whole population—who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life.

I see millions of families trying to live on incomes so meager that the pall of family disaster hangs over them day by day.

I see millions whose daily lives in city and on farm continue under conditions labeled indecent by a so-called polite society half a century ago.

I see millions denied education, recreation, and the opportunity to better their lot and the lot of their children. …

It is not in despair that I paint you that picture. I paint it for you in hope—because the Nation, seeing and understanding the injustice in it, proposes to paint it out. We are determined to make every American citizen the subject of his country’s interest and concern; and we will never regard any faithful law-abiding group within our borders as superfluous."

We are facing another test of our moral progress today – and we are failing. U.S. Census Bureau figures for 2017 released this week show nearly 1 in 5 children in America still lives in poverty making them the poorest age group in our country. Almost onethird of the 39.7 million poor people in the United States are

If poverty in 2017 compared headed, immoral and costly enacted it would permanently to 2016, the number of poor it is that as they learn 12.8 extend the 2017 tax law’s children – 12.8 million, million children are struggling individual provisions slated 17.5 percent of all children to grow up in poverty, the to expire after 2025 that – remains indecently high. Trump Administration benefit the top one percent And though unemployment and Republican controlled of households twice as much numbers continue to fall, these Congress propose to throw as those in the bottom 60 gains have not kept families money at non-needy percent. Initial estimates and children out of poverty. millionaires and billionaires indicate Tax Plan 2.0 would More than 70 percent of poor over babies.

And with significantly children in America lives higher projected deficits in poverty is morally and the threat remains that practically unacceptable We are facing another the Trump White House and economically costly.

Our children’s present and future of our child population education. responsible for supporting our This very week, House lives are too valuable to let profoundly unjust increasingly aging population Republicans introduced these continue.

This into the future. Only five states their Tax Plan 2.0 that would practices have Black child poverty rates again reward the wealthy and new Tax Plan 2.0 and any

additional cuts to key survival programs must be rejected.

And every single person in America needs to speak out and mount a campaign to end child poverty now.

How will we test our progress today? Will our President continue to ignore the 12.8 million poor children and their families? How many Congressional leaders will stand up for those who have too little – or will they join the frenzied Republican leadership attempts to give more permanent tax breaks to those who have too much?

The recent Census Bureau report shows how key investments can help end child and family poverty. We must provide jobs and decent wages and support investments in child and family basic needs. Supplemental Poverty Measure data which expand on the Official Poverty Measure by including the impact of some government and other programs on family resources show that in 2017 millions of children were lifted above the poverty line by the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and other refundable credits (4.5 million), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (1.5 million), the National School Lunch Program (722,000), the Special

Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) (156,000), housing subsidies (897,000), the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program (472,000), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and general assistance (296,000).

We can and must provide enough for our young who have too little instead of padding the pockets of millionaires and billionaires who have far more than their fair share of public welfare.

No child in our nation should live in poverty. Shielding children from the lifelong consequences of poverty will improve child lives now and reduce future child poverty.

We have all the resources and know how to end child poverty and cannot wait. Our children’s and nation’s future depend on acting right now.

The Miseducation of “Betsy DeVoid”

By Julianne Malveaux Even her boss, the 45th President of the United States, is derisive of Education Secretary Betsey DeVoid, the Devos woman who is devoid, absent, of good sense. She may have even been placed in her position as payback for whatever support her wealthy family provided to the certified public liar of a leader. Education Secretary Betsey DeVoid has used her position to elevate her family’s economic advantage, and she has used her position to punish students whose interests are contrary to her own. She is a prime example of miseducation, and her tenure has been an attack on students. Let me count the ways: 1. DeVoid has lifted the for-profit college protections that President Barack Obama attempted to regulate. She chose to minimize the regulations that curtailed for-profit college exploitation. While the Obama administration attempted to make students, who attended for-profit colleges whole, DeVoid has erred in favored of the rip-off schools.

Many for-profit colleges only exist because students take out federal loans. When these schools fail, so do the students. Why shouldn’t the federal government pick up the slack from schools that falsely

market themselves as a bridge from poverty to opportunity?

Blessedly, a federal judge just ruled that DeVoid’s attempts to delay Obama-era regulations to provide students with relief was wrong. The Borrower Defense rule, which allows students who borrowed to attend shady schools to apply for relief, had been delayed by the Department of Education, but US District Judge Randolph Moss ruled that the Department’s actions are “procedurally incorrect.” The lawsuit against DeVoid and the Department of Education was brought by 19 states and the District of Columbia.

Will DeVos learn her lesson?

Probably not. This is part of her miseducation.

2. DeVoid has weakened

regulations around sexual harassment and sexual abuse of students. She feels that those who are accused of harassment should have more rights than they are already offered, and that the arc of justice should bend away from the young women who have been raped and abused. DeVoid is devoid of compassion when she raises the bar for those who accuse fellow students and colleagues of sexual assault or harassment. Is there room for adjudication? Probably. Should those who have to encounter their rapists or harassers on campus be protected? Absolutely.

3. DeVoid has stacked her staff with proponents of charter schools and for-profit education, which is the equivalent of having the fox guard the henhouse. She has done

this boldly, unapologetically, and this as a good thing, and every with the blessing of her boss, the federal agency can probably 45th President, who has also been stand to be streamlined some. woefully miseducated. It is likely But if the staff reduction means that the trustees of the University less enforcement of important of Pennsylvania cringe every time regulations, then DeVoid will have he says that he went to the Wharton accomplished her purpose, which School of Business. seems to be to turn education into 4. DeVoid has proposed rolling an unregulated free for all, and a back rules on accrediting colleges profit opportunity for her family and schools, raising concerns that and others who see education as she plans to a commodity, water down not a service.

Many for-profit colleges the quality I feel only exist because students that DeVoid of education n a t i o n a l l y. has been take out federal loans.

This is miseducated, When these schools fail, so but perhaps consistent do the students. with her she has been f a m i l y ’s all too well involvement educated in in for-profit education. To be sure, the ways of 45, who promised to many Historically Black Colleges disrupt government as we know and Universities (HBCUs) have run it. With his horrid approach to afoul of the accrediting agencies, governing, and his flippant disregard such as SACS (the Southern for the lives of US citizens (witness Association of Colleges and his crude and inaccurate comments Schools), which seem to be stricter about deaths in Puerto Rico), 45 on HBCUs than on other schools, has certainly been disruptive. And but none in the HBCU community the minion he has described as support the DeVoid method of “ditsy” has been equally destructive changing accreditation rules. to students and schools at the DeVoid is using the Department of Department of Education.

Education as a playground for her family’s monied interests.

NEWS Safe Family Workshop Advises Kids To Say No

By Chris Frost The conversation about family safety picks up with Detective Tenille Chacon, who focused on uncomfortable situations for children.

She said one in ten children are sexually abused by their 18th birthday.

“By the time your kid is 5, you should talk to them about their body, and safe parts of their body,” she said. “A way to do that is to speak to them and tell them your body is your body.”

Chacon educated the group about safe versus unsafe touching and said they no

longer use the terms bad and good.

“When you say the word bad, that gives the impression to the kid that what happens to them is bad," she said. "They may not feel comfortable later disclosing to their parents because they feel like they did something wrong.”

She said one way to discuss safe places is by using bathing suits and point out areas that

are kept private for boys and private for girls, both top and bottom.

“When we talk to our kids, we have to tell them it’s alright to say no,” she said. “We teach our kids to be polite to adults and do as they say, but we have to tell our kids they have to listen to themselves.”

Chacon said some kids are not comfortable when parents tell them to hug grandma or Uncle Chester.

“We have to tell our kids that if you don’t want to give hugs, you don’t have to,” she said. “We don’t want our kids to be comfortable with not being comfortable. If we force them to give Uncle Chester or grandma a hug, they feel uncomfortable," she said.

"When they get in a situation that is uncomfortable because they’re being touched, they’re going to feel like it’s okay because my parents are telling me the feeling that I have when I don’t want to do something is okay, so when they do get touched, it’s okay.”

She reiterated that it’s okay to say no to adults.

“When your parents say clean your room, maybe not so much,” Chacon said.

“When you’re in that situation (if someone touches you) say no, say it loudly and practice saying that stuff.”

When you say no to someone, she said look the person in the eyes.

“We want to teach our kids not to be victims,” she said. “If

your kids go out and they walk to school or walk to the store, don’t have them go alone.”

Chacon said if a child is approached by an adult asking for directions when they are out walking to be polite, but say no.

“They have a cell phone,” she said. “They don’t need you to give directions because you probably don’t know. If someone comes up to a child and asks where a school or Walmart is, the child should keep walking, and your parents aren’t going to be mad at you for ignoring that person.”

She said children must also be careful about other kids.

“Often times, it’s normal for kids to be curious about their body parts, but we have to tell them it’s not only a man and woman, but it’s also other kids,” she said. “It could be their age or a little bit older; we have to teach them if we are talking about covered body parts, the breasts, the penis, the vagina, we have to tell them that it’s anybody, even other kids.”

Chacon said sex does not need to be part of a conversation about body parts.

“A lot of kids know that a penis and vagina is to pee, and the butt is to poop,” she said.

“You don’t have to talk about sex; you just have to tell them their body parts are private.”

She said nobody needs to see them except for a parent or a doctor.

“If you have a caregiver and

they have a husband, caregiver or whoever is caring for them, dedicate one person to care for them,” she said. “If they are little, you set boundaries for them and tell them you don’t want anybody to clean that child’s butt but the caregiver.”

Safe Harbor Nurse Gina D’Aquilla said if a child comes home and something doesn’t seem right, listening to what the youngster says is the most important thing.

“When your child comes home, and they have a behavior change, and they suddenly don’t want to attend a situation like daycare, school or visit a family member’s house, give them the opportunity to know that you’re a safe person, and they can talk to you,” she said.

“Believe what they say and take it seriously.”

Signs that sexual abuse occurred, she said, are events like wetting the bed for the first time in a long time or if the child has nightmares.

“If they’re having any distressful behavior that you’re not used to, that’s the time when we need to put our radar on and figure out why and listen to our children and let them know that we believe them,” she said. “I think the worst thing for a child is trying to tell a trusted adult or a parent that they think they might have been wronged, even though it’s not their fault, it’s really difficult if they’ve been told it’s their fault or they’re going to get in trouble.”

Certain parts of the body, D’Aquilla said, bruising is expected, like the legs and the bony areas like the head.

“Kid’s like to fall on their heads, but there are certain parts of the body we don’t expect,” she said. “We don’t expect bruising on their stomachs, and we don’t expect bruising on certain parts of their back or neck. If you’re seeing that type of bruising after your child is somewhere and they’re coming home, those are the bruises we are worried about.”

The child safety series will conclude in the Sept. 28, edition of the Tri-County Sentry.

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 800-280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/ sales, using the file number assigned to this case 17-31284-BACA. 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.

LUNN SchId:72639 AdId:24228 CustId:859 -----------NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF LINDA ANNE BURGESS Case No. 56-2018-00516747-PRPWOXN To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of LINDA ANNE BURGESS A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by S.W. Burgess in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that S.W. Burgess 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 Sept. 26, 2018 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. J-6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard, Oxnard, CA 93036.

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

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

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that LARRY BEVINS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust.

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: $745,832.63 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. 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 (800) 758 - 8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH.

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.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-15-671830-JB.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

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.

HEALTH

LA Found a Success in its First Week of Operation September 14, 2018—Just 9 days after launching L.A. Found—a countywide program to help families find individuals with autism, dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease when they wander and go missing—two individuals who wandered away have been reunited with their family using L.A. Found bracelets.

Incident #1 At 5:45 am on September 13, 2018, a 65-year old man went missing from his Altadena home.

He suffers from Alzheimer’s and was given a Project Lifesaver tracking bracelet by the L.A. Found program due to his tendency to wander away from his home.

A hiker found the missing man in an Altadena ranch property. He was weak and short of breath and unable to tell the Good Samaritan his name. Fortunately, when the LAPD responded they recognized the LA Found bracelet and contacted the Los

Angeles Sheriff ’s Department with the serial number on the device.

The LASD Mental Evaluation Team was able to find the serial number on the Project Lifesaver

Call 911 immediately and inform law enforcement if they have a Project Lifesaver bracelet.

Do not wait.

Supervisor Janice Hahn database and confirm his identity.

As a result, the LAPD was able to reunite the missing person with his family.

Incident #2 At 10am on September 14, a 76-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease wearing a Project Lifesaver trackable bracelet provided to her family by L.A. Found went missing in the Huntington Park neighborhood.

Her family alerted law enforcement at 4 pm this afternoon at which

point the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department dispatched four units with Project Lifesaver receivers as well as deployed the helicopter unit with receiver.

However, shortly after receivers were deployed, the woman was found at the LAPD Newton Station.

Although she was unable to identify herself, LAPD officers worked with the LASD to identify the woman based on the serial number on her Project Lifesaver bracelet.

“We launched L.A. Found last week and I am so grateful that it has already helped reunite two wandering individuals with their families,” said Supervisor Hahn.

“Remember, if your loved one wanders away and goes missing, call 911 immediately and inform law enforcement if they have a Project Lifesaver bracelet. Do not wait.

That person could be a danger to themselves and law enforcement can help you find them quickly.”

NIH Launches Initiative to Accelerate Genetic Therapies to Cure Sickle Cell Disease The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today announced the launch of a new initiative to help speed the development of a cure for sickle cell disease, a group of inherited blood disorders affecting at least 100,000 people in the United States and 20 million worldwide. The Cure Sickle Cell Initiative will take advantage of the latest genetic discoveries and technological advances to move the most promising geneticbased curative therapies safely into clinical trials within five to 10 years.

“Our scientific investments have brought us to a point where we have many tools available to correct or compensate for the defective gene that causes sickle cell disease. We are now ready to use these tools to speed up our quest for a cure,” said Gary H. Gibbons, M.D., director of NIH’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), which is leading the effort.

Sickle cell disease results from a single genetic mutation that causes a person’s red blood cells to form an abnormal, sickle shape. These sickled cells can clog the blood vessels and deprive cells of oxygen.

In turn, this lack of oxygen wreaks havoc on the body, damaging organs, causing severe pain, and potentially leading to premature death.

Decades of basic research on sickle cell disease have laid the

groundwork for novel genetic approaches to cures, such as the genetic editing of bone marrow cells, which have shown great promise in animal models and in some small scale human studies. In addition, the NHLBI Production Assistance for Cellular Therapies (PACT) program has been working with researchers to manufacture cellular therapeutic products, including genetically modified cells, that can be used safely in clinical trials with patients.

NIH spends approximately $100 million on sickle cell disease research each year. Through this initiative, NHLBI seeks to support the development of cell and genetic therapies resources, clinical trials, comparator analyses of different management

strategies, data repositories and resources, and patient and advocate engagement activities related to curative therapies for this condition. Already in 2018, NHLBI committed an additional $7 million to jumpstart the initiative’s research and engagement infrastructure.

NHLBI has named hematologist Edward J. Benz Jr., M.D., President and CEO Emeritus of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, as the Initiative’s executive director, and the Emmes Corporation, a contract research organization with specialized expertise in clinical trials, gene and cell therapy development in preclinical studies, as its coordinating center.

The initiative and other research partners will establish a national data warehouse of genetic

therapies for sickle cell disease and conduct comparative analyses of therapeutic approaches to assess both clinical and cost effectiveness.

They will also establish national networks to make it easier for patients and providers to learn and engage with the research, clinical trials, and other activities happening across the country.

“The engagement of patients will be a cornerstone of this effort,” said Benz. “Patients will work alongside researchers in developing and recruiting for clinical trials.”

Currently, the only cure for sickle cell disease is a bone marrow transplant, a procedure in which a sick patient receives bone marrow from a healthy, geneticallycompatible sibling donor. However, transplants are too risky for many adults, and only about 18 percent of children with sickle cell disease have a healthy, matched sibling donor.

The Cure Sickle Cell Initiative seeks to develop cures for a far broader group of individuals with the disease, and it is initially focusing on gene therapies that modify the patient’s own hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which make red and other blood cells. These modified HSCs can then be given back to the patient via a bone marrow transplant, making a cure available to more patients who lack a matched donor.

Figures from a U.S. government survey released Friday show some progress in the fight against the ongoing opioid addiction crisis with fewer people in 2017 using heroin for the first time compared to the previous year.

The number of new users of heroin decreased from 170,000 in 2016 to 81,000 in 2017, a one-year drop that would need to be sustained for years to reduce the number of fatal overdoses, experts said.

Fewer Americans are misusing or addicted to prescription opioid painkillers. And more people are getting treatment for heroin and opioid addiction, the survey found.

The Trump administration said the positive trends show government efforts are working.

Messages are reaching people about the dangers of heroin and the deadly contaminants it often contains on the street, Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz, an administration health official, said in a video presentation released with the figures.

Among the other findings: • Marijuana use climbed in all age groups except young teenagers, with 2.5 percent of those 26 and older, or 5.3 million adults, reporting they use marijuana daily or almost daily last year.

• Methamphetamine and cocaine use climbed in young adults, ages 18 to 25. The uptick may indicate that users are shifting from opioids to other drugs, said Leo Beletsky, a public health policy expert at Northeastern University in Boston.

• Young adults have increasing rates of serious mental illness, major depression and suicidal thoughts.

• The number of new heroin users in 2017—81,000—was lower than the numbers in most years from 2009 to 2016. But it was similar to the numbers of new heroin users in 2002 through 2008.

Experts said there's still work to be done before success can be declared.

“Taken together, this does not look like the portrait of a nation with improving mental health and addiction issues,” said Brendan Saloner, an addiction researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

“It's hard to look at this and not think we need to be doing a better job than we're doing now.”

Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released preliminary figures that appear to show a leveling off in overdose deaths in late 2017 and the first two months of this year.

Health officials have said it's too soon to say whether the nation's drug crisis has peaked. But in an interview with The Associated Press this week, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said several measures of the crisis are improving.

“We are making progress,” he said.

“We are seeing a flattening of our deaths from overdose.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Newton, 'Game of Thrones,' True Love Triumph at Emmys LOS ANGELES—Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" became the first streaming series to win top Emmy comedy honors and HBO's "Game of Thrones" recaptured the best drama series award Monday at a ceremony that largely slighted its most ethnically diverse field of nominees ever.

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Amazon's freshman sitcom about an unhappy 1950s homemaker liberated by stand-up comedy, earned best actress honors for star Rachel Brosnahan.

Her castmate Alex Borstein earned the supporting actress trophy and the series creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, nabbed writing and directing awards.

Claire Foy of "The Crown" and Matthew Rhys of "The Americans" won top drama acting Emmys, their first trophies for the roles and last chance to claim them, with Foy's role as Queen Elizabeth II going to another actress and Rhys' show wrapped.

The field bested by Foy included last year's winner Elisabeth Moss for "The Handmaid's Tale" and Sandra Oh of "Killing Eve," who would have been the first actor of Asian descent to get a top drama award.

"This wasn't supposed to happen," said a startled Foy. "Game of Thrones," which sat out last year's Emmys because of scheduling, won despite competition from defending champ "The Handmaid's Tale."

"Thank you for letting us take care of your people," ''Game of Thrones" producer D.B. Weiss said to George R.R. Martin, whose novels fuel the drama.

In a ceremony that started out

Thandie Newton won for her work on HBO’s “Westworld.”

congratulating TV academy voters for the most ethnically diverse field of nominees ever, the early awards all went to whites.

"Let's get it trending: #EmmysS oWhite," presenter James Corden joked at the midway point, riffing off an earlier tribute to Betty White.

"I want to say six awards, all white winners, and nobody has thanked Jesus yet," co-host Michael Che said, referring back to his earlier joke that only AfricanAmerican and Republican winners do.

Then Regina King broke the string, with a best actress trophy in a limited series or movie for "Seven Seconds," which tracks the fallout from a white police officer's traffic accident involving a black teenager.

She was followed by Darren Criss, who won the lead acting award for the miniseries "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" and who is of

Filipino descent.

Thandie Newton won best supporting drama actress for "Westworld," and Peter Dinklage added a third trophy to his collection for "Game of Thrones."

Brosnahan used her acceptance speech to give a shout-out to her comedy's celebration of women power.

"It's about a woman who's finding her voice anew, and it's one of the things that's happening all over the country now," she said. She urged the audience to exercise that power by voting.

Bill Hader collected the best comedy actor award for "Barry," a dark comedy about a hired killer who stumbles into a possible acting career.

H e n r y Winkler, aka "The Fonz," won a supporting actor award — his first Emmy — for "Barry," four decades after gaining fame for his role in "Happy Days."

"If you stay at the table long enough, the chips come to you. Tonight, I got to clear the table," an ebullient Winkler said, with an equally delighted auditorium audience rising to give him a standing ovation.

To his grown children, he said: "You can go to bed now, daddy won!"

The biggest award so far won by a broadcast network was "Saturday Night Live" for best variety sketch series. The Emmys had a real-life dramatic moment when winning director Glenn Weiss, noting his mother had died two weeks ago, proposed to his girlfriend, Jan Svendsen.

‘Ain’t Too Proud’ and the Weight of Lead Singers

By Larry S. Buford

Last night I went to see the play “Ain’t Too Proud” at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. It was a very entertaining performance; the cast and orchestration were superb. I applaud award-winning playwright and native Detroiter Dominique Morriseau.

Being a native Detroiter myself, I was glad to see such an eclectic ethnic audience really enjoying and appreciating the Black music that we grew up on. However, the story was too predictable as in, it was still told through the lens of lone surviving group member Otis Williams. Somehow the history of the “tantalizing five” is being locked in to the perspective based on Mr. Williams’ book, and the popular TV miniseries that was based upon it.

In an interview printed in the program, Morriseau said, “Being able to tell this story from a generation removed allows me to see it from my parents’ lens, the Generation X lens, and through the Millennial lens.” Unfortunately, those lenses are fogged and blurred, and someone needs to get the story right. As former band leader Cornelius Grant once said in another setting, “I wish they would focus more on the talent than the personalities.”

Williams is to be commended for keeping alive The Temptations’ legacy, but where he chose to camp on the weight of his role as group founder and decision-maker, he failed to show the weight placed upon the prominent lead singers – he himself not being a lead singer.

Paul Williams’ and Eddie Kendricks’ lead vocals carried the

group in the early days on songs like “Check Yourself,” “I Want A Love I Can See,” and “Farewell My Love.” After the Tempts broke out with “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” Eddie became the focus of every writer/producer at Motown that yielded songs like “(Girl) Why You Wanna Make Me Blue,” and “The Girls Alright With Me.” The B-side of “The Way You Do The Things You Do” was a churchy call and response “Just Let Me Know” with Paul on lead. Paul also did a show-stopper “Don’t Look Back” on the B-side of “My Baby.”

David Ruffin joined the group in time to be on the recording of “The Way You Do The Things You Do.” He had already had local success as a solo artist with songs like “Action Speaks Louder Than Words,” and “Bus Driver.” He was also a member of The Voicemasters who recorded a song titled “Free” led by Ty Hunter

who became a member of The Originals. “Free” was conceptualized after Sam Cooke’s “Chain Gang.”

Smokey Robinson (more later about the disservice to him) who became the Tempts’ primary producer, had the foresight to write songs fashioned for Ruffin’s husky, world-weary voice similar to Sam Cooke’s style. It was timely – Sam Cooke died December 1964; “My Girl” with Ruffin up front began climbing the charts the next month January 1965. The baton was passed.

The weight was on Ruffin to fill the void and he delivered with songs like “It’s Growing,” “Since I Lost My Baby, and “My Baby” (where he really sounded a lot like Cooke).

That was under Smokey as writer/ producer. Under producer Norman Whitfield, Ruffin continued as the Tempts’ principle lead singer with blockbusters “Ain’t Too Proud To

Beg,” “Beauty’s Only Skin Deep,” “I’m Losing You,” and “I Wish It Would Rain.”

Bass singer Melvin Franklin gained huge popularity with “Truly Truly Believe” (among others) which was the B-side of “I Wish It Would Rain.”

Now can you imagine the weight, the work of traveling from city to city, gig to gig, night after night singing all those songs – expected to deliver and give the audience their money’s worth? Mr. Williams (not diminishing his role) was cool and secure in the background, while the lead singers had to sell! It’s not told –

by Mr. Williams own account in his book – how Ruffin sweated so hard recording “Ain’t Too Proud” that his glasses were steamed. Can you imagine singing those songs over and over again? I recently read where Sam Moore of the dynamic duo Sam & Dave said he’s tired of singing their hit “Hold On I’m Comin’.”

I think the play “Ain’t Too Proud” is superb, but let’s not gloss over the history. Those voices meant a lot more to us during those turbulent 1960’s than to highlight the failures. Talk about (for instance) all the Black boys at the time who wanted to wear glasses because of Ruffin’s positive influence; or how every pre-puberty boy wanted to sing like Kendricks. It wasn’t all about the failures. When I went to Detroit to attend Ruffin’s funeral, I went to the Motown Museum where the late Esther Gordy Edwards gave me a personal tour. She said, “David was envied by a lot of people; not only the Tempts; because while every one would be out partying and having a good time, David was in here working on his craft!”

call you my girlfriend? It's because I want to call you my wife," Weiss said.

She said yes, he put his mother's ring on her finger and the crowd whooped and cheered.

John Oliver, in picking up the trophy for best variety talk show award for "Last Week Tonight," thanked Weiss' girlfriend for giving the right answer or, he joked, the whole ceremony could have gone south.

The Emmys kicked off with a song, "We Solved It," a celebration to the diversity of nominees sung by stars including Kate McKinnon and Kenan Thompson. The tune included a mention that Oh could become the first woman of Asian descent to win an Emmy. "There were none, now there's one, so we're done," the comedians sang.

Oh played along from her seat: "Thank you, but it's an honor just to be Asian," said the Korean-Canadian actress.

"Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels, producing his second Emmy telecast in 30 years, was tasked with turning viewership around after the 2017 show's audience of 11.4 million narrowly avoided the embarrassment of setting a new low.

The ceremony clearly bore his stamp, with Che and Jost as hosts and familiar "SNL" faces, including Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin, as presenters and nominees. The longrunning NBC sketch show, already the top Emmy winner ever with 71, won again for best variety sketch series.

The pressure's on Michaels because NBC and other broadcasters are increasingly reliant on awards and other live events to draw viewers distracted by streaming and more 21stcentury options. The networks, which air the Emmy telecast on a rotating basis, are so eager for the ad dollars it generates and its promotional value for fall shows that they endure online competitors sharing the stage.

Tom Arnold and Mark Burnett Clash at Pre-Emmy Party LOS ANGELES—Actor Tom Arnold and producer Mark Burnett apparently got into a physical altercation at a preEmmy Awards charity event, according to social media posts.

Arnold accused Burnett of choking him Sunday night at “this huge Emmy party then he ran away with his torn Pink shirt & missing gold chain,” Arnold tweeted. “I'm waiting for LAPD.” There was no indication police actually were called to the scene, Officer Ray Brown of the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Section said.

Burnett's wife, actress Roma Downey, tweeted a photo showing a bruise on a hand.

“Got this bruise tonight when Tom Arnold tried to ambush my husband Mark and me at a charity event. Is your TV show worth it Tom? Please stop,” Downey tweeted. Arnold replied: “You lie your crazy husband attacked me you psyco. I'm filing police report & suing you for defamation.”

Downey was referring to Arnold's new show, “The Hunt For The Trump Tapes,” which premiers Tuesday on Viceland.

A promo on twitter teases: “Here's Who Tom Arnold Is Bothering,” and Mark Burnett is included on that list. The altercation reportedly occurred at a fundraiser for the Motion Picture Television Fund at the Lawn at Century Park.
