Mayoral debate brings candidates together Group shares goals but differ on the best way forward

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme had a funfilled day, Sept. 23, as the club was host to its 12th Annual Day for Kids, full of music, fun, food, and entertainment.

The event featured activities, educational resources, free health care screenings, and flu shots and brought a large crowd to the club headquarters on Fifth Street in Oxnard.

Erin Antrim, the chief executive officer for the Boys and Girls Club of Oxnard and Port Hueneme, said the event promotes meaningful time with families.

“Parents don’t get to spend much time with their kids these days,” she said. “Everybody is busy working, so we put on this event free-of-charge for the community.”

At first, she said the event started small and didn’t have many partner agencies.

“We’re very lucky that Kaiser

Permanente is a sponsor this year,” she said. “They’re underwriting this whole event so that we can provide it free of charge to the community.”

There were over 40 communitybased agencies taking part in the day, she said, who come back each year to make the day a success.

“We expect to have about 3,000 kids and families here today,” Antrim said.

She loves seeing all the kids and parents.

“These kids sometimes can’t afford other opportunities, like the Ventura County Fair, or other opportunities that cost a lot of money,” she said. “For us to be able to put this on and for children to participate free of charge and see our community come together like this is amazing.”

After the event is over, Antrim said the learning continues.

“We have a bingo card that encourages the kids to visit every agency,” she said. “Kaiser Permanente is doing health screenings, glucose testing, and BMI (Body Mass Index).

Community Memorial Health System is doing vaccinations and sports physicals. The kids reflect

on all the services they are able to get.”

With all that said, she admitted the favorite part of the day for the kids is the rock wall, bouncy house, and petting zoo.

“We used to have a dunk tank, but when I became CEO I said no

more dunk tank because there is no way you are going to see me in that thing,” she joked.

The League of Woman Voters Candidate Debate at Oxnard City Hall, Sept. 24, brought a diverse set of answers to the questions that voters have as they move into the election season.

The candidates answered questions from the audience and shared opinions about how Oxnard should move forward.

Mayor Tim Flynn opened the debate and said his focus is on quality of life issues in not only the city but also in neighborhoods.

“I’ve led the fight on graffiti,” he said.

“Today, Oxnard has a model program of finding graffiti, not only in Ventura County but throughout the State of California.”

He said he’s also led the fight against gang violence in the city.

“I am the number one proponent of the gang injunction, I will see to it that the gang injunction is reinstituted and revised, but most importantly, I advocate an intervention program for every gang member in the City of Oxnard.”

He noted that quality of life is more than eliminating graffiti and gangs.

“It has a lot to do with street paving,” he said. “I led the drive for repaving streets with the city council, and in the last year alone, over 100 lane miles have been paved. I also have gotten a seat at the table at Channel Islands Harbor to revitalize the harbor.”

He concluded by saying his job as mayor is to unite the city, and not divide the city with costly, unnecessary lawsuits and elections.

Mario Quintana said he grew up in the La Colonia neighborhood and it gave him a perspective on the unique needs in Oxnard.

“When you talk about keeping people engaged, all those things are factored into how we governed over the last 15 years,” he said. “To feel like you live on the outside looking in, how do you get people involved?”

One issue he’s fought for is translating the city council meetings into Spanish.

“That’s set up here because of that advocacy,” he said. “That vote took place in 2011 before the mayor became the mayor and he voted against it.”

He pointed out the community is 75 percent Hispanic.

“You have to figure how many people you are communicating with if they don’t have a clue about what you’re n Mayoral debate, see page 3

Strengthening our Families event succeeds Oxnard School district put it's best foot forward

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Information and resources for families highlighted the day at the 7th Annual Strengthening our Families celebration at RJ Frank Middle School, Sept. 22.

The day provided parents a chance to attend workshops with information about things they need and topics like how to transition from middle to high school.

The event also featured student performances, a raffle, and a healthy lunch, prepared by the Student

Nutrition Services at the Oxnard School District.

Public Information Officer Letitia Austin has been with the Oxnard School District for almost a year, and said the event is terrific.

“The parents are super excited to find out what the resources are in the community, especially as it relates to the kids being successful in school and beyond school in terms of careers, like college and knowing how to support their kids in that journey,” she said.

The students attend grades kindergarten through the eighth

grade, she said, and many students attend the Oxnard Union High School District.

“There are a lot of questions about that, like what to expect,” she said.

“Also, we have workshops about other things, like self-help workshops, how to be a better person and how to give back to your community,” she said.

“It’s not just education focused; it’s also resources you can use to become a better person.”

The workshop also helped families that need a little extra help, Austin n Families, see page 3

NEWS

The Page Two report

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The League of Women Voters Candidate Forum brought out some excellent information for city residents, Sept. 24, but also gave the candidates the opportunity to zing each other and try to get a leg up for the Nov. 6, election.

Victor Manuel Ortiz

Suspect arrested for forcible rape On March 19, 2018, at approximately 12:50 p.m., an adult female victim contacted the Oxnard Police Department. She reported that she was sexually assaulted inside a residence in the city of Oxnard. The Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit (“FPU”) responded to the call for service and took over the criminal investigation. The suspect was identified as Victor Manuel Ortiz, a 31year old Tarzana resident.

After several months of investigation by the FPU, the case was presented to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office for filing and issued a warrant for Ortiz.

At approximately 3:00 p.m. on September 25, 2018, Ortiz turned himself in at the Ventura County Sheriff Department’s East Valley Station.

He was booked for: 261(a)(2) PC (Forcible rape), 288a(a) PC (Forcible oral copulation), and 289(a)(1)(A) PC (Forcible digital penetration). Ortiz’ bail was set at $100,000.

If anyone has further information regarding this incident, they are encouraged to contact Detective Kevin Adair at (805) 385-7663. You can also provide valuable information and remain anonymous by calling the violent crimes hotline at 805-982-7070 or Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-2228477). You can also visit the Ventura County Crime Stoppers website at venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email.

During the debate: Moderator David Narron asked in a pre-emptive strike, to not boo the moderator or any of the candidates.

Challenger Aaron Starr asked the moderator to reverse directions when asking questions occasionally because otherwise, Flynn will

always follow him.

Mayor Tim Flynn said there are 57,000 trees in the City of Oxnard, with a 2,700-tree backlog. He touted an agenda item he brought to the council that will deal with the 2,700 trees city-wide.

Starr followed Flynn and said the mayor always makes a broadbased announcement, a scheme, about something he is doing right before the election and in the end, they don’t get anything done.

Starr said Thousand Oaks and Ventura has more businesses than Oxnard and is twice the size and some companies take years to get a permit.

Flynn said he doubts Oxnard needed more minimum wage jobs and said the city is done with minimum wage jobs. He said if Thousand Oaks has more

Man Dies After Being Struck by a Vehicle

jobs, Oxnard doesn’t need more minimum wage jobs. He wants to make Oxnard “the fiber city,” and it is not a scheme.

Starr said one advantage he has over the mayor is to not announce a new initiative right before an election and has been on the council since 2004 and doesn’t perform except for his great speeches.

Starr said Flynn is a showman and a former used car salesman that likes to hear himself talk.

Flynn said before his career in public service he had a career in sales and had a bottom line each day. He said if he didn’t keep his promises, he would not have been elected.

Flynn said he unites people and doesn’t sue people and cost people millions of dollars in lawsuits, and doesn’t put on special elections that cost Oxnard residents $500,000.

Ventura Public Health investigating Tuberculosis cases in Oxnard

Ventura County Public Health has been following two related cases of active tuberculosis (TB) since June and has investigated the two settings where possible exposures may have occurred.

One case is associated with Rio Vista Middle School in Oxnard.

The other subject visited 24 Hour Fitness in Oxnard on multiple occasions.

Two hundred forty-six students and 12 employees at the middle school were tested initially. These were the students and employees who were identified as having the closest contact with the infectious case of TB at the school. Nine of the students and 1 of the employees were found to have positive tests.

Public Health decided, due to the number of positive tests, that all

children and employees attending Rio Vista Middle School during the last term of the 2017-18 school year, would be tested. In the expanded testing, two more students and three more employees were found to be positive for TB out of the 552 and 72 additional students and employees respectively.

At 24 Hour Fitness, TB tests have been performed on 87 employees with four testing positive. Of the 192 gym members tested, nine have been positive. There are 50 identified members of the gym that still need to be tested or pending their test results being reported by their physicians to Public Health.

All contacts to the two original cases will be treated with a medication regimen that is proven to minimize the chances that

they will ever go on to develop tuberculosis disease.

“While we still need some students and adults to get tested, we are very appreciative of all -especially the students and their parents – who have cooperated by getting tested. The staff and administration at both schools and the gym have also assisted greatly in our department’s response efforts,” says Rigoberto Vargas, Public Health Director.

Tuberculosis infection is common throughout most of the world. It is relatively uncommon to acquire TB in the United States.

The State Tuberculosis Control Branch estimates that 16 percent of foreign-born people in the United States will have a positive blood test for tuberculosis.

On Sept. 23, 2018 at approximately 2:35 a.m., Oxnard Police Officers responded to a call for service regarding an injury traffic collision in the intersection of Fifth Street and Meta Street.

When officers arrived, they located an injured male subject in the intersection. The victim was transported to the Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC) where he underwent emergency surgery. The victim later succumbed to his injuries.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was possibly involved in an altercation with an unknown subject in the intersection of Fifth Street and Meta Street.

Immediately following the possible fight, the victim was struck by an older model white SUV. After the victim was struck, the vehicle fled the scene. Detectives are currently canvassing for video surveillance from the businesses in the area and following up on statements obtained from witnesses who were at the scene. The death of this subject is considered to be suspicious at this time.

Detectives are asking the public to come forward if anyone has witnessed this incident. The public is asked to contact Detective Miguel Serrato (805) 385-7688. You can also provide valuable information and remain anonymous by calling the Violent Crimes Hotline at 805-982-7070 or Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

Happy 50th birthday Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center ATTENDEES ENJOY A TRIP THROUGH TIME

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center celebrated its 50th Anniversary, Sept 24, complete with music, dancing, food, and characters portraying dignitaries from the performing arts center steering committee in 1968 offering thoughts about the opening day.

The event started with the master of ceremonies Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez, who served as the time traveler and relived March 24, 1968, the day the performing arts center opened its doors.

The Heritage Harmony Players of Heritage Square in Oxnard portrayed the people from 1968, one of its living history performances.

Steering Committee Chairperson Cleo LaBonte, portrayed by Connie Korenstein, brought the crowd back to 1968 and said it was her privilege to take part in the planning of the center, a place she called beautiful and a milestone in Oxnard’s cultural development.

“This project is an example of what can be accomplished by groups and individuals working together,” she said. “Today’s dedication marks the end of more than a decade of active planning and work. Many man-hours and sleepless nights, with an end product that is a magnificent testimony to our community.”

She said the auditorium concept was born in the 1940’s after the war was over.

“There was the talk of a building and auditorium as a memorial of those lost in World War II,” she said.

“A fund drive began, but somehow the money was diverted to a swimming pool at the high school.”

The idea came up again in 1956, she said, when a big earthquake damaged the high school auditorium.

“Many of us began to campaign for a full-scale auditorium for our city,” she said. “With a population of almost 50,000, Oxnard was long overdue for such a facility.”

In 1961, the city established a feasibility committee to study the idea, and she said it made everyone feel gratified.

“I was appointed the chairman, and we labored diligently for one year and made optimistic recommendations,” she said. “Then the unexpected occurred, and the Oxnard Housing Committee made a pledge of $350,000 toward the project.”

She called it a significant impetus.

“The city council appointed an auditorium steering committee for our dream to become a reality,” she said. “For the next four years, we met regularly and went on many expeditions.”

The project began with $1.9 million raised by bond revenue funding, she said, but the venue needed more money. The public was invited to purchase seats for $50 and raised an additional $60,0000.

“People call me Mrs. Auditorium because it seems like that’s all I do,” LaBonte said.

“Through the years he has

dedicated himself to the successful city and county-wide projects, like the USO and St. John’s Hospital,” Ramirez said.

Levy said he was honored to be part of the most ambitious community project in the city’s history.

“Over the past seven years, there were times we thought this day would never arrive,” he said. “We’re here today because the folks throughout the community contributed to this enterprise, but first I must point out that this project would not have come to fruition without the leadership of Mrs. LaBonte. She has been the tiger

in the tank throughout this process.”

Ramirez introduced Sculptress Mrs. Regina Everett, portrayed

by Kay Brainard, who created the sculpture, entitled Performing Arts that stands in the courtyard.

Everett thanked the Art Club of Oxnard for selecting her piece and sponsoring the contest that made it possible.

“My concept for this piece, symbolizing a performing art, is very simply my need for self-expression,” she said. “I wanted to portray the upward striving and group endeavor so evident in the performing arts.”

She said the form started as a tiny

circle of five figures facing each other with arms raised.

“Then I experimented with the form, slashing the symbolic figures again and again into wet clay,” she said. “I went back to the original circle but used more abstract figures and flat relief for the finished product.”

Mrs. Herman Becker, portrayed

by Carol Puorto, told the crowd how thrilled she was the auditorium was completed and spoke about the upcoming community concert association shows.

“We’ve been holding concerts for over 20 years in the small Santa Clara High School Auditorium,” she said.

“It’s time that Oxnard has stepped up to meet the growing needs of the community. We sell season tickets every year at a great price.”

The Fabulous King Family, led

by Mrs. Yvonne King Burch, as portrayed by Janelle Fanslow, relived the hits from 1968, including "Make Someone Happy," “Those were the days” and “Hey Jude," as performed

by Diane and Ray Mautner and Dale Gordon.

Soroptimist Club President Holly Nash was giving out raffle tickets and was happy to be part of the celebration and reenactment.

“The Soroptimist Club was here in the very beginning (1968) and built this amazing fountain, that today we turned into an amazing garden,” she said. “The PACC is a wonderful place for us to be.”

She said a 50th anniversary is a fantastic event.

“It’s still operating and getting better,” she said.

NEWS Latin Business Expo promotes Hispanic heritage OXNARD MITSUBISHI WELCOMES A LARGE CROWD

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard Mitsubishi welcomed a large crowd of vendors and friends to its showroom Sept. 18, for the Latino Business Expo Mixer.

The event is one of five preliminary gatherings before the Latino Business Expo at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, Oct. 25.

The mixer had plenty of food, lots of music and camaraderie between the vendors and guests.

Commercial and Fleet Manager Paul Cruz said the dealer jumped at the opportunity to host a vibrant interracial celebration in Ventura County.

“We are proud to represent Oxnard,” he said.

The event is more than networking, he said, it's welcoming the whole community.

“This is home,” he said. “This is a sense of belongingness and one family. The family is the smallest unit of our society.”

Cruz said people who stop by for the expo could also purchase an auto.

“I believe in the car and the service,” he said. “I just bought an Outlander HPV, a hybrid electric and gas, which is pro-environment, pro-economic and practical as well.”

Cruz believes the world is a borrowed place.

“We borrow it for the next generation,” he said. “If we don’t take care of the environment, what’s

going to be the next generation’s home? That’s what Oxnard Mitsubishi is offering. You have friends here, and it’s a home for everyone.”

Latino Business Expo co-founder Adam Casillas said the event at Oxnard Mitsubishi allows vendors to network and build relationships.

“We try to make sure that everybody has a little fun,” he said.

“I am collaborating with the Latino business council from the Camarillo Chamber of Commerce to make it bigger and better.”

He likes seeing his vendors come together to promote the Latino Business Expo.

“It drives traffic,” he said.

The Camarillo Chamber of Commerce was also at the event, and CeCe Adame, director of membership, said it is the first time she joined forces with Casillas from the Latin Business Expo.

“Every year, we had events that conflicted with his events, and this year I approached him and said why don’t we join forces and invite the Latino community,” she said. “I am very glad that Martine Auto Group, who happens to be a Camarillo Chamber member, allowed us to be here today.”

She used the opportunity to network and promoted the chamber.

“There are a lot of familiar faces

here,” she said.

The Camarillo Chamber of Commerce has members from all over.

“I have members from outside Camarillo and out-of-state because they like the committees we have,” she said. “We have the Women in Business Committee, we have the Young Professionals, we have the Latino group, so we have a little bit of something for everyone.”

People who want to join the chamber can email Adame or stop by.

“I’m a people person,” she said. “I like to sit down and find out about who you are, what you need, and what you want to do,” Adame said.

on how to make this workshop successful.”

She said Chris Ridge, director of people services, can help families that missed the event.

“This year, what is igniting my passion is the involvement of our parent leadership,” he said. “We have a core group of parents who are speakers. Nine of them kicked off the event today, and some of them are out in the classrooms conducting workshops.”

He said school administrators are sharing their stories with the parents.

“They were in our kids’ shoes,” he said. “They are telling the story of what it was like at Rose Elementary and where they are now. They’re telling the story of how they did

that.”

Ridge related one story about a principal who came from a large family, nine of them.

“It’s a typical story, an immigrant family living in a garage, and he’s principal of the school now,” he said.

Alex Fernandez volunteered at the event and registered parents and students.

“I go to school at California State University Channel Islands, but work in the Oxnard School District,” he said. “I am assisting teachers with whatever they need help with.”

His major is English education and he plans to be a teacher after he graduates.

“This is a good experience,”

he said. “The children all have different backgrounds, and it’s interesting. Working with them is fun and rewarding how you see them advance in their education.”

He decided to be an education major during his freshman year.

“I was a health education major at first, but decided to change because I wasn’t digging it,” he said.

Dulce Rojas also helped at the event and is a stay-at-home mom.

“I have my two kids,” she said.

“It’s nice to see students from the past who come with their parents.”

She works with special education kids and enjoys seeing them and their families.

“Hopefully, I’ll get to see one of the classes myself,” she said.

said, and people who in need were pointed in the right direction.

“Maybe they need help finding food, shelter, or things like that in the community,” she said. “We have people here conducting workshops on where those resources are located.”

Austin is proud to offer that service.

“A lot of our families, they’re supportive of their kids in school, but are challenged with where to find the resources,” she said.

The district has a volunteer parent group that coordinated the event, she said, and they did a fantastic job.

“Since they’re the parent group, they know what they need,” she said. “They provided guidance

BaldwinKennedy looks for fiscal responsibility and prison reform Part two of the conversation with California Assembly District 44 candidate Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy picks up with how prison release needs to be reformed.

“Not only did they let non-violent criminals out, but they also brought in SB 54, the sanctuary state, which adds to the crime in California,” she said. “They also added in AB1810, the mental defect, if you’re mentally ill and commit a crime, including the rape of a child, you can claim that you’re mentally ill and you get treatment and don’t get prosecuted and never go to jail. You get treatment, and you’re released.”

She called AB1810 ridiculous.

“It seems like California is going more towards helping criminals, putting criminals on the street than actually reforming the justice system,” Baldwin-Kennedy said.

She doesn’t agree with the original three strikes rule or three general felonies.

“That law has changed, but that was attributed to overcrowding as well,” she said. “Penalties for certain crimes, some of them are a little excessive, and they go from one extreme to the other.

I think crimes that should have stiffer penalties have lesser penalties and crimes that have lesser penalties have stiffer penalties.”

She pointed out there is nothing for people who were released from prison.

“There should be some reform and rehabilitation,” she said. “It should be a requirement to attend school, get some skill, and you can go back into society as a productive member.”

She said her opponent, Jacqui Irwin, voted against restoring a felon’s right to vote.

“I’m a constitutionalist, and I believe if you paid your debt to society, why shouldn’t you be allowed to vote,” she said. “It’s a basic right under the Constitution that as a citizen you are given the right to vote.”

Baldwin-Kennedy said it disconnects the people from society.

“They go back to criminal life because how else are they going to support themselves,” she said. “They don’t have the job or the skills and then it’s just a vicious circle. We need to do more rehabilitation.”

She said there is a mindset that n Baldwin-Kennedy, see page 6

talking about,” he said. “It’s too large of a community to be ignored, and unfortunately they have been (ignored) with this leadership.”

Aaron Starr asked the crowd to imagine a well-run city with transparent finances, well-maintained streets, and crime-free streets.

“Imagine working with our schools, so our children are taught the skills they need to succeed,” he said. “Imagine attracting businesses with high-paying jobs so our children can afford to live here.”

He said all this is achievable.

"Oxnard has excellent potential, and we deserve nothing less than to realize that potential,” he said. “Every two years you hear promises, and soon after the election those promises are forgotten and unfulfilled, then you hear the same promises two years later.”

“You know me as someone who keeps promises, gets things done and is an agent of change,” Starr added.

Quintana said he is for growth in Oxnard.

“What you’re looking for in these times is, we see a housing crisis,” he said. “It’s pretty tragic when you look at it, because my opponent, the mayor, is very much against density and growth. What that has led to,

when you look at the housing crisis, is an anti-growth mentality.”

Unfortunately, he said there is a rise in the cost of living, and it has a ripple effect on the economy and in the communities.

“As the cost of living continues to grow, it strategized to raise the cost of living and objectify an area,” he said.

“When you go specifically to south Oxnard, what’s the population? You have to ask yourself that question?”

Starr said he is neither for nor against growth and economic development.

“Growth will happen in reality; the question is how well is it managed,” he said.

“Folks are going to move here one way or the other,” he said. “What we are missing today is that folks are moving several families into a house and when that happens, you see what the crowding is like in some of your neighborhoods, there is a big parking problem, and that’s the reason.”

He believes that developers need to pay their own costs.

“You can’t have a situation where we allow a developer to come in and push all those costs on us in later years,” Starr said.

He said bringing in business is the

fix.

“Business will bring in those highpaying jobs that will allow us to afford homes so that people don’t have to be 2,3 and 4 families to a household,” he said. “That’s unacceptable.”

Flynn said responsible growth is a necessity in every community.

“It can be argued in the past that Oxnard hasn’t been involved in responsible growth, and specifically urban sprawl,” he said. “We stopped that, thank God, and we are preserving farmland, and that’s important.”

He is an advocate for mixed-use development in the core of downtown and which is the theme of prosperous cities across the nation.

“If you been to many other cities, they engage in smart growth and that smart growth is mixeduse, residential development above commercial development.”

Flynn said there is not a housing crisis and people live together because they can’t afford rents with their disposable incomes.

“We have a responsibility to house our workers, not the rest of the county’s workers,” he said.

Starr said he doesn’t believe in “group hugs or some kind of strange intervention" to take care of the gang

violence problem.

“Unfortunately, they are criminals, and we need something like a gang injunction,” he said. “I don’t think what we had was good, because it didn’t give people the opportunity to get off the gang injunction.”

He said there was not a “real” due process, in his opinion.

“I think there needs to be a mechanism where people need to be put on the gang injunction and have a clear opportunity to be told they are going to be put on, so they have an opportunity to say hey, I’m not in a gang and I can prove it.”

He added the gang injunction needs to be modified, so it passes constitutional muster.

Flynn said the level of gang violence is unacceptable.

“I would argue that it doesn’t just cost human lives, it costs the city its reputation,” he said. “Oxnard’s reputation is largely defined by gang violence, and 2,500 young men are making terrible choices in their lives.”

He supports the gang injunction strongly.

“We’re reaching out to the public, and we’re getting input on the gang injunction and the way we’ve applied the gang injunction can be better and

more effective.”

He equates a gang injunction to the same level as a house arrest.

“I would much rather have a gang member subject to the terms of that injunction and not go out and murder someone in cold blood than roaming the streets without restrictions. They have restrictions because they belong to a criminal organization.”

He said the city has to find a way to get gang members out of their gangs.

“It’s an endless cycle, a revolving door, a generational problem, and I’m committed with the new city manager, Alex Nguyen, to doing exactly that.”

Quintana said he been against the gang injunction since the beginning.

“I grew up in Colonia, the epicenter of where gangs come from, and I can tell you that gangs exist in a vacuum,” he said. “He (Flynn) wants a solution after the fact. You are going to pay 10 or 20 times as much to do it that way.”

He pointed out that it’s why the police department budget is so high.

“It’s because we are focusing after the fact,” he said. “Prevention programs are why I am here today, why I went to college and why I got a degree.”

This story will continue in the Oct. 5, edition of the Tri County Sentry.

OPED Our Children Are Saying

‘We Are Afraid’

By Marian Wright Edelman The school shootings are scary and we feel like nothing can stop it from happening.

— 11-year-old girl, Indiana We are afraid because there are too many threats at schools. I want my school to be safe and to have art because kids like art.

–8-year-old girl, Wisconsin No one is doing anything to make me feel safe at school.

–14-year-old girl, Washington, D.C. We deserve to have a childhood.

–13-year-old boy, Pennsylvania What worries children most at the start of a new school year?

In simpler times it might have been remembering their locker combination or making sure they had a friend to sit with at lunch. But a recent Children’s Defense Fund’s Parent and Child Trends Survey

by YouGov found fear of a school shooting the second most common worry for children between 6 and 17 years old and the third most common for parents. One-third of children surveyed said they are worried about a shooting happening at their school.

Only worries about being bullied are more common.

Children deserve a safe and happy childhood. Instead they are being robbed of their innocence by pervasive gun violence that nags and picks at their minds and spirits, day in and day out, snuffing out joy. Today children in kindergarten classrooms are taught how to react if someone enters their school and starts firing a gun. The recent wave of tragic school shootings, from Sandy Hook Elementary to Stoneman Douglas High School, has cemented mass violence as a huge everyday concern among a broad cross-section of America’s children. Our survey shows fear of a school shooting is consistent across racial, ethnic and income groups. Only 59 percent of all children—and only 42 percent of Black children—say they feel safe at school. What a shameful abnegation of adult responsibility.

Children and parents also are worried about safety and gun violence outside their classrooms and schools. Although more children say they feel safe in their neighborhood

than in school, the fear of school and neighborhood shootings expressed by children and their parents is an urgent call to action for all of us— parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, advocates, faith leaders and elected officials—to stand up, speak out, take action and vote for people who protect children, not guns.

Children should feel safe wherever they live, learn and play.

While many politicians across our country have responded to the recent spate of horrendous school shootings with calls to put more guns in schools by arming teachers, only one-third of children and a slightly lower percentage of parents agree with the statement “teachers having guns in school would help children be safer.”

Black children and parents were especially skeptical of the proposal to arm teachers, with only 25 percent of Black children and 19 percent of Black parents agreeing. Many believe adding more guns to schools is not the answer: “The more guns that are on the premises, the more likely someone is to be shot. The guard at the Parkland shooting didn’t even go in. I don’t think armed guards or police officers will help,” one parent said. A 10-year-old girl from New York said, “I don’t like to see guns anywhere. I’m afraid of them. I’d be afraid of a teacher who had one.”

Given their worries about mass shootings, it’s not surprising that a majority of children and an even higher proportion of parents believe there are too many guns in the United States and that they are too easy to get. Parents and children also are much more likely to place priority on protecting people from gun violence over protecting the right of people to own guns. Black children and parents are most likely to feel this way.

Overall, our survey shows children all across our country crying out for help and safety. Ultimately children just want to feel safe in school and they and their parents believe creating safe, nurturing schools requires more than physical protection from guns. Almost all of them consider close connections and trusting relationships with school staff critical components of school safety. About 90 percent of children and parents agree children need adults at school they can talk to about their problems.

To honor their views, amplify their voices, and protect child

lives it should be a no-brainer for a decent and responsible nation to do everything it can to keep children safe in their schools and neighborhoods. It’s a disgrace and complete collapse of adult responsibility to permit our children to go to school afraid of being gunned down in school hallways or schoolyards. It’s unconscionable that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is contemplating states’ use of Student Support and Academic Enrichment grant funds under the Every Student Succeeds Act to purchase firearms and firearm training for school staff. In fact, activities anticipated under the grant program specifically cover “violence prevention activities”

defined to include “the promotion of school safety … through the creation and maintenance of a school environment that is free of weapons and fosters individual responsibility and respect for the rights of others.”

What has happened to us as adults and as a people to have become accustomed to living in a country where senseless murders of children in schools and communities are commonplace?

What values lead us to protect guns over children? Most importantly, how can we restore our children’s confidence that we want them to be safe where they live, learn and play and will do whatever is necessary to fulfill this essential adult

responsibility? It is urgent that we begin by: Making sure school safety plans across the country address the need for safe, nurturing schools offering physical protection from guns and close connections and supportive relationships between staff and students.

Eliminating zero tolerance discipline policies and focusing on understanding children’s experiences, feelings and fears rather than simply punishing their behaviors.

Minimizing the threats of gang violence and mass shootings in children’s neighborhoods and schools by restricting gun access for those under 21 and other high risk groups, implementing universal background checks, and banning assault weapons, high capacity magazines and bump stocks through common sense gun laws in state legislatures and Congress.

When asked how she would change the world if she could make one change, a 16-year-old girl said: “To not have to wake up and be scared to do normal things, like go to the movies because [someone] decided to shoot it up one night. Nowadays it’s scary to go anywhere because you never know what’s going to happen.”

Shame on all of us adults and on our nation that places the right to own a gun ahead of our children’s right to live and grow to adulthood without constant fear. Every child has the right to live, learn and grow up safely free from gun violence and fear and realize their Godgiven potential. And every adult has a responsibility to protect our young and ensure they can reach adulthood safely.

Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund, whose Leave No Child Behind’s mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

OPED

The Pernicious Power of Patriarchy

By Julianne Malveaux Our nation, these United States, is founded on the principles of racism and patriarchy. They are reflected in our very constitution, where enslaved persons were counted as a fraction of a person and only men of property were allowed the right to vote.

The filthy inequality at the foundation of this nation has now bubbled up and boiled over, polluting every aspect of our lives.

Patriarchy places men at the center of life and women at the periphery. It suggests that women do not matter. It allows for the subjugation of women when they attempt to enter public spaces that have previously been earmarked as “male” spaces.

Thus, there were no restrooms for women legislators in the U.S. House or Senate, even as women entered those spaces. They were only created when women demanded them. Of course, restrooms are just a minor manifestation of the hegemonic patriarchy that rules our nation.

A great picture of our

nation’s racist patriarchy was the visual of doughy and dissipated white men interrogating the amazingly composed Anita Hill as she reviewed her experiences with now Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Though Hill was persuasive, she was attacked in the vilest of terms, accused of nonsense like “erotomania,” and even recently harassed by Thomas’ unhinged spouse who was still seeking apology after two decades. Note to Thomas: take the phone from your wife when her meds are not working.

In any case, Thomas is on the Supreme Court because white men chose to disregard the word of a Black woman — a decision that then-Senator Joe Biden says he now regrets.

Thomas was confirmed by the narrowest margin in history 52-48.

Here we go again.

By the time this is published the matter of 45’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh may be resolved but the issue of pernicious patriarchy will not be.

Regarding Kavanaugh, he has been accused by Dr.

Christine Blasey Ford of sexual which boys? Black boys, even assault from more than 35 years when accused of “reckless ago, when both were teens. She eyeballing,” are fair game for disclosed her accusations in a lynching!

White boys on letter that California Senator rampages are excused for Dianne Feinstein received in assault, rape, and attempted July, but did not share with the rape.

FBI until later, mainly because Can I call the name of Recy Ford asked for confidentiality. Taylor, the young Black woman Ford has requested that the who was walking home from FBI investigate her assertions, church and raped by a gaggle yet the of white S e n a t e men who Thomas is on the Judiciar y thought her c om m it t e e body their Supreme Court is still fastright? because white men I remindCan tracking us their vote on chose to disregard of the Texas Kavanaugh. the word of a Black gubernatorial T h e candidate, o u t c o m e , woman — a decision C l a y t o n w h i l e Williams, that then-Senator who said that n e c e s s a r y, is not the if rape was Joe Biden says he bottom line. inevitable, now regrets.

The issue a woman is the way should “lay that racist back and patriarchy makes some enjoy it”? Ann Richards beat offensive and illegal behavior him, but that wasn’t quite the acceptable. point. The point was that some Privileged white male man thought that rape was culture allows and encourages inevitable enough to “enjoy.” excessive drinking and Privileged white male obnoxious behavior toward culture allows a man who women. It is excused because should not have been elected “boys will be boys.” But President to denigrate women

on a regular basis. We are “fat,” “dogs” and “liars.”

He bragged about grabbing women’s genitals, and our society is so poached in pernicious patriarchy that 52 percent of white women (and 41 percent of all women) still voted for him. They thought he was joking because, for too many women, patriarchy has so seeped into our consciousness that the abuse of women is a joke.

If we women were honest, we would say that we have all cosigned patriarchy in the interest of keeping it moving.

We have deflected the sexist comments that come our way, even as we cringe from them. We smile at men that we abhor because they may have decision making power in their hands. We dress up or dress down depending on the occasion and the way we have to play the game. We know the system is slanted against us, we know we still have to play, and we decide when we choose to blow the whistle, a whistle we could blow every single day. #MeToo is the tip of the iceberg because it fails to deal with race systematically, but

also because it manages the evident and personal, not the institutional.

In addition to being #MeToo women, we are mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives (hello Julie Chen Moonves), so some of us want to justify patriarchy for “our” men. Our sons, husbands, cousins, brothers “didn’t mean it” and could not be that bad.

Wake-up call — if they violated a woman, they were THAT bad. If they raped a Black woman and you turned away from the accusation, you are wrong, you are horribly and complicity wrong.

Tearing down the walls of pernicious patriarchy means attacking the very foundation of our nation. When we attack patriarchy, we also attack the racism that is also part of our foundation. Many have lined up to support Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. How many are equally willing to attack the pernicious racist patriarchal roots of our nation?

What the Supreme Court Nomination Would Mean for Black Women

By La'Tasha D. Mayes, MSPPM Executive Director, New Voices for Reproductive Justice With the confirmation process underway for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Black women have certainly been voicing our opposition. There’s no sugarcoating it: confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court would be disastrous for Black women.

To begin, Kavanaugh has made it clear that he doesn’t support the right to abortion enshrined in Roe v. Wade—though seven in 10 people in this country do, as well as nearly eight in 10 Black Americans.

We know that many states, if they were allowed, would ban abortion immediately. In a handful of states, only one abortion clinic remains, and in others, women are forced to travel long distances, delay care, and pay out-of-pocket for care not covered by insurance. Whether the right to abortion is turned over to states or outlawed, or the court instead allows extreme restrictions, the impact will be fall hardest on those who already struggle to get care — and Black women could be the most harmed.

As DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has noted, Black women are more likely to

need abortion care, due to greater barriers we face in accessing comprehensive sex education, contraception, and basic health care of any kind. Denying a woman an abortion has real consequences: research shows that when a woman wants to get an abortion but is denied, she is more likely to fall into poverty, less likely to have a full-time job, and twice as likely to be a victim of domestic violence.

Forcing a woman to continue a pregnancy after she’s decided to end it is a violation of her basic human rights — forcing a Black woman to do so in a country that places so little value on Black life adds incalculable insult to injury. Kavanaugh’s record seems to indicate that he’d be perfectly

comfortable forcing pregnancy on Black women, while doing little to ensure that Black women’s children will grow to be healthy, treated equally, and thrive — unlike Antwon Rose Jr. in Pittsburgh and Nia Wilson in Oakland.

Kavanaugh has also sided with bosses to want to deny their employees’ birth control coverage based on the employer’s personal or religious beliefs. Here, too, the stakes are higher for Black women. We are more likely to be struggling economically, therefore less likely to be able to “buy our way out of the problem” by paying outof-pocket when health coverage is denied.

While the threat Kavanaugh

poses to reproductive health has dominated much of the news, Black women have all those and even more concerns when it comes to this nominee. As the NAACP has pointed out, “Our voting rights are on the line. Fair housing and affirmative action are on the line.” Everything that matters to Black women is on the line. In coming years, the Supreme Court could rule on pivotal cases related to racial justice, equal access to education, LGBTQ+ rights and so much more.

All these issues are connected - they are intersectional. Being treated fairly at work, in lending,

Black women are the largest constituency in the United States that has no representation on the Supreme Court—we’ve never had a Black woman Supreme Court Justice. in school, and elsewhere, as well as voting rights and access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion, help ensure that Black women and our families can be healthy and live with dignity. Now is the time for us to work together

- across issues and geography - to defend ourselves, our families and our communities.

Let’s be honest - the Supreme Court has rarely been a friend to Black women. After all, it was the invisibility of Black women in discrimination jurisprudence that led Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw to first coin the term “intersectionality.” But the Supreme Court certainly has the power to greatly harm or potentially improve the lives of Black women.

We need to watch closely and be sure our that we speak in our own voice and those we elect to serve us trust Black women.

Black women are the largest constituency in the United States that has no representation on the Supreme Court—we’ve never had a Black woman Supreme Court Justice. That is not to say that Justice Clarence Thomas is standing up for the health and rights of Black men—he’s not—but judicial representation matters. It would be incredible to see a Black woman, more than one Black woman, sitting on the highest court in the land.

Until we can see that, we can certainly do better than another ideologically extreme white man who would only roll back the progress for which Black women have already sacrificed so much.

“Some non-profit organizations have taken it upon themselves and have a program for people who are coming out of jail and help them find jobs,” she said. “One of them is “Hope Boys and Hope Girls” in Oxnard, and their stories are phenomenal.

This one guy was in prison, he had the teardrop tattoo and was all tatted up, and he has a job now, and he’s proud of it.”

“Find out if you need all that money in an operating budget and cut the budget,” she said. “That would save money and reduce the budget overall if the departments don’t need all that money to operate.”

Baldwin-Kennedy said

the government doesn’t work efficiently because the money is always there.

“At home, we have a budget, and if we spend too much money we go take a look at where our money is going, and we cut,” she said. “We rebudget, and that’s what the state should do first.”

She said the controller has independent power to audit a government department.

“The controller won’t do it,” she said. “The high-speed bullet train should be audited, as well.”

She said the current controller, Betty Yee, was asked about a DMV audit, and she said, “it was not necessary.”

“For the kids, we have healthy eating and free water bottles that we are giving away,” she said. “We also have our cool broccoli photo here, so they can stick their head through the broccoli and get their picture taken. We are trying to promote healthy eating and being excited about vegetables.”

Kids who are reluctant about participating get an incentive.

"If they get a screening done, they can come back and get a little lunchbox,” she said.

“I love that the Boys and Girls Club is doing the bingo card, that encourages everyone to go to every booth and get their card stamped.”

Jarvis loves talking with the kids.

“They are fun, enthusiastic and eager to learn,” she said.

“The broccoli photo is a new addition this year. One little girl said ‘I love broccoli. It’s my

The Port Hueneme Naval Base was out in force holding a corn hole tournament and letting the kids sit in a Navy truck.

CM1 Jesse Stachurshi said the kids are throwing bean bags and winning some candy.

“We also have some soccer goals set up,” he said. “We also let them sit in the trucks and see what Navy equipment is about.”

He loves seeing all the kids.

“It’s seeing all the kids faces,” he said. “All the volunteers here are members of the Petty Officer’s Association. It’s one of the ways we give back to the local community.”

Four-year-old Lucas Navarro likes the Navy truck, and when asked, said he wants to join when he’s older.

“It’s cool,” he said.

Mom Alex Navarro saw the event and decided to stop by.

“We get to see our friends and usually meet up with them here,” she said.

Arielle Cabrera decided to try something new and had a great time jumping.

“This is her first time,” Mom Mikaila Cabrera said.

“I love the joy on my kids' faces.”

Patient Care Coordinator Diana Rivera led the Oxnard Children’s Dental Group and had a lot of prizes plus a cornhole competition for the kids.

“We’re here to talk to the parents about oral hygiene and all their steps in the morning, afternoon and night,” she said.

“We’re letting parents know they play an important role in the children’s hygiene.”

RDA Heidi Galindo said the goal is to make the children feel comfortable.

“We want them to come back with a smile on their face and to take care of their teeth as well,” she said.

Nervous and fidgety children sometimes get nitrous oxide.

“They’re less nervous, and it lets the doctor and assistant do their job peacefully,” she said.

“The best part about it is we flush it out of their system as soon as the treatment is done, so they walk out just like they walked in.”

She loves seeing all the kids smile.

“It brings laughter and joy to my heart to see all these kids having fun,” she said.

Antrim said it only costs $20 per year to join the Boys and Girls Club of Oxnard and Port Hueneme.

“We’re proud that we can provide all these services to kids for just $20 a year,” she said. “Our board of directors raises all the money to make that happen.”

“It’s amazing,” she said.

“The $15,000 will go to STEM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) programs,” she said. “The VC STEM Network just awarded us a STEM Champion Award on Thursday, Sept 20, and we’re proud of that. We can’t do that work without community partners like Southern California Edison.”

Lisa Woon, principal manager for corporate philanthropy from Southern California Edison, said the utility worked with the Boys and Girls Club to be part of the event.

“Edison is one of the largest distributors in Southern California, and we have a great partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs across the region,” she said. “We brought out information about our mobile energy unit and brought a play about agents of safety, bringing electricity tips to the kids and how to be safe around electricity.”

She loves the event.

“We don’t just work at Edison, we live in the neighborhoods, and we are a part of the community,” she said.

Andrew Martinez, vice president for safety, security and business resiliency for Southern California Edison said they were happy to donate to the Boys and Girls Club.

“We have been a supporter of this organization for quite some time,” he said. “The utility is happy to donate $15,000 and a Surface Pro towards their STEM program.”

He loves seeing how the effort ties into the event.

“Our success is tied directly to the community, and we are happy to make donations to the Boys and Girls Club,” he said.

If someone comes for screening and doesn’t do well, she said they get special attention.

“Everyone is not a Kaiser member,” she said. “The good thing is we do these screenings to help them identify things if there is something to be worried about, like if their blood pressure or blood glucose is high.

TENTIAL 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 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2018

HEALTH The New Normal: School shootings are a top worry for California children and parents LOS ANGELES—As a new school year gets underway, fear of a school shooting is front and center in the minds of children and their parents in California and across the country, according to new survey data released by the Children’s Defense Fund.

According to the Children’s Defense Fund’s Parent and Child Trends survey conducted earlier this year by YouGov, children say they are more worried about a shooting happening in their schools than they are about fitting in with other children or experiencing peer pressure. Thirty-six percent of California children between the ages of 6 and 17, and 31 percent of parents report worries about school shootings. Among children, only worries about being bullied are more common.

Fear of a school shooting is consistent across racial, ethnic and income groups, suggesting a recent wave of school shootings has cemented mass violence as an everyday concern among a broad cross-section of America’s children.

Overall, only slightly more than half of California children say they feel safe at school. More than 70 percent of children and 80 percent of parents say police and school resource officers would keep campuses safer.

“It is a tragedy of our society and a disgrace to our nation that our children go to school each day carrying the fear that they will be gunned down in the hallways or on the schoolyard,” said Marian Wright Edelman, President of the Children’s Defense Fund. “we must heed our children’s calls to keep them safe and allow them to grow up, learn and play free from violence and fear.”

The data released today show that while children and parents want safer schools, they report doubts about many of the policies being proposed to prevent future school shootings.

Highlights include: • Children and parents are wary of proposals to arm teachers.

Only 30 percent of California children and parents agree with the statement “teachers having guns in school would help children be safer.”

• In California and across the country, Black children and parents were especially skeptical of the proposal to arm teachers, with

only 25 percent of Black children and 19 percent of Black parents in agreement.

• Seventy-one percent of children and 80 percent of parents in California believe police or School Resource Officers (SROs) would keep children safer in schools. But nationally, nearly half of all children (48 percent) and a third of parents (35 percent) surveyed are either not sure about the merits of having armed officers in schools or outright oppose it.

A 6-year-old boy from California responding to the survey said, “I think people would be scared and worried seeing police.”

• Eighty percent of children and a slightly higher percentage of parents in California believe students and staff should be trained on what to do if there is a shooter in their school. But only 63 percent of California children say they are taught what to do in these situations. Nationally, the likelihood of a child saying they learn what to do if there is a shooter in their school varies with household income. Only 59 percent of children in households with incomes below $25,000 say they learn how to respond to a school shooter, compared with 77 percent of children in households with incomes of $100,000 or more.

• In California and across the country, children believe there are too many guns in the United States.

Nationally, nearly four times as many children agree as disagree that guns are too easy to get in America (53 percent to 14 percent)

and three times more children agree than disagree that there are too many guns in America (54 percent to 18 percent). When asked how he believed his worries about the world could be addressed, a 15-year-old boy from California said, “New laws are passed to help the schools be more secure and that guns are not sold to people without a thorough background check

In YouGov survey, children in California report greater fear over school shootings than fitting in. and training and registering and writing why they need to purchase a gun.”

“We believe that school should be one of the safest places for children and youth,” said Shimica Gaskins, executive director of Children’s Defense FundCalifornia. “When it comes to the question of how students and their school community define safety, it is unnerving that so many in California feel that policing is the answer. We know and research has shown that increasing police presence on school campuses often leads to more children of color feeling less safe and puts them at greater risk of having law enforcement contact and entering the criminal justice system. Solutions must be

grounded in stronger gun control laws at both the national and state levels. We must protect children, not guns.”

The Children’s Defense Fund believes all children in America should be guaranteed the right to live, learn and grow up safely— free from violence and fear. CDF envisions a nation in which children and teens feel safe in their communities and classrooms and leaders at all levels protect children not guns. The Children’s Defense Fund supports efforts to: • Make sure school safety plans developed across the country address the need for safe, nurturing schools that offer physical protection from guns as well as close connections and supportive relationships between staff and students.

• Eliminate zero tolerance discipline policies to focus on understanding children’s experiences rather than punishing their behaviors while carefully monitoring and responding to the impact of these reforms to ensure they benefit all students across racial, ethnic and income lines.

• Minimize the threat of gang violence and mass shootings in children’s neighborhoods and schools by restricting gun access for children and teens under 21 and other high risk groups, implementing universal background checks, and banning assault weapons, high capacity magazines and bump stocks through common sense gun laws in state legislatures and Congress.

California child can take cannabis drug to school SANTA ROSA (AP)—A California kindergartner can keep bringing a cannabis-based drug used for emergency treatment of a rare form of epilepsy to her public school, a judge ruled Friday.

The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat reported that a judge sided with the family of 5-year-old Brooke Adams.

The Rincon Valley Union School District in Santa Rosa sought to ban the ointment from school grounds because it contains the active ingredient in marijuana.

Authorities argued that allowing Brooke to use the drug at school violated state and federal laws barring medical marijuana on school grounds.

Medical marijuana use in private with a doctor's recommendation is legal in California.

A judge's temporary order permitted Brooke to start school in August while the district's

Groups Say Medicare Discounts Threatened in Opioids Bill

objections were considered. A nurse accompanies Brooke to school and has had to apply the oil three times to treat seizures.

Judge Charles Marson made the order permanent on Friday.

Marson is a judge in the state office of Administrative Hearings' Special Education Division, which handles disagreements between school districts and parents of children with disabilities.

“I was so overwhelmed with emotion and joy that we don't have to fight anymore after a battle of over two years,” said Jana Adams, the girl's mother. “She can just go to school like any other child and we don't have to keep pushing to get what she needs.”

The family's lawyer Joe Rogoway said he hopes the ruling opens the door for other students who say they need to use a cannabisbased drug on campus for medical reasons.

District officials said they were reviewing the decision and haven't decided whether to appeal.

Assistant Superintendent Cathy Myhers said the district is relieved to have legal guidance on the issue.

“We are pleased with the decision and guidance,” Myhers said. “We are happy to have a decision that supports our ability to educate and serve this student in our public schools.”

WASHINGTON (AP)—Consumer and health care groups are scrambling to block what they say is a move by the pharmaceutical industry to commandeer must-pass opioids epidemic legislation as a vehicle for rolling back drugmaker discounts to Medicare beneficiaries with high prescription costs.

Republicans said Friday nothing has been decided in behind-the-scenes discussions. But Henry Connelly, a spokesman for House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, called the effort a “Republican attempt to hijack a bipartisan effort on opioids funding to ram through a multibillion-dollar handout to Big Pharma.”

The House and Senate are working on major legislation to combat the opioids epidemic by focusing on treatment, recovery, prevention and law enforcement. The latest House version is expected to be unveiled early next week. Because the bill is considered must-pass, lobbyists and lawmakers are trying to attach their priority proposals.

Details of the potential Medicare component were shifting, but basically it would partially roll back a 70 percent discount that Congress recently required drugmakers to provide to seniors in Medicare's “doughnut hole” coverage gap. Backers of the rollback say lawmakers set that percentage too high, relying on an initial savings estimate that was later changed by the Congressional Budget Office.

Such nuances seemed to be getting lost in the building outcry against the deal, joined Friday by AARP. “AARP strongly opposes ... attempts to cut a backroom deal with Congress and reverse the Medicare Part D doughnut hole improvements enacted earlier this year that put drugmakers on the hook for a higher share of

Basically it would partially roll back a 70 percent discount that Congress recently required drugmakers to provide to seniors in Medicare's “doughnut hole” coverage gap.

Medicare drug costs,” vice president Nancy LeaMond said in a statement.

Coalitions including patient advocacy groups, insurers, hospitals, doctors and pharmacies were also pushing back.

It remained unclear if the Medicare rollback would make the final legislation. Polls show that health care is a major issue with voters in the midterm elections, and prescription drug costs consistently rank as the top concern.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to bring down drug costs. If Republicans enact a bill that can be labeled a cost shift to seniors weeks before an election, they could well be handing Democrats a political gift.

“The focus is on passing an opioids bill that helps address this epidemic and we intend to do that,” said Zach Hunter, a spokesman for Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees drug policy.

The industry trade group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America has criticized the 70 percent discounts mandated by Congress as a giveaway to insurers. The powerful lobbying group was caught off guard when Congress included the discount earlier this year in a massive budget bill. Drugmakers had already been providing a 50-percent price break.

ENTERTAINMENT Bill Cosby Gets 3 to 10 Years in Prison for Sex Assault

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — His Hollywood career and good-guy image in ruins, Bill Cosby was led off to prison in handcuffs Tuesday at age 81, sentenced to three to 10 years behind bars for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman.

Black Eyed Peas Tackle Gun Violence, Immigration in Videos

The punishment made him the first celebrity of the #MeToo era to be sent to prison and all but completed the dizzying, late-in-life fall from grace for the comedian, former TV star and breaker of racial barriers.

“It is time for justice. Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come,” Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill said. He quoted from victim Andrea Constand’s own statement to the court, in which she said Cosby took her “beautiful, young spirit and crushed it.”

Cosby declined the opportunity to speak before the sentence came down, and afterward sat smiling, laughing and chatting with his defense team. His wife of 54 years, Camille, was not in court. Constand smiled broadly upon hearing the punishment and was hugged by others in the courtroom.

Cosby’s lawyers asked that he be allowed to remain free on bail while he appeals his conviction, but the judge appeared incredulous over the request and ordered him locked up immediately, saying that “he could quite possibly be a danger to the community.”

The comedian removed his watch, tie and jacket and walked out in a white dress shirt and red suspenders, his hands cuffed in front of him.

Former model Janice Dickinson, who was among the 60 or so women who have come forward to accuse Cosby of drugging and violating them over the past five decades, looked at Cosby and said: “Here’s the last laugh, pal.”

Another Cosby accuser in the courtroom, Lili Bernard, said: “There is solace, absolutely. It is his fame and his fortune and his phony philanthropy that has allowed him to get away with impunity. Maybe this will send a message to other powerful perpetrators that they will be caught and punished.”

The punishment, which also included a $25,000 fine, came at the end of a two-day hearing at which the judge declared Cosby a “sexually violent predator” — a modern-day

scarlet letter that subjects him to monthly counseling for the rest of his life and requires that neighbors and schools be notified of his whereabouts.

The comic once known as America’s Dad for his role on the top-rated “Cosby Show” in the 1980s was convicted in April of violating Constand, Temple University women’s basketball administrator, at his suburban Philadelphia estate in 2004. It was the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.

Cosby faced a sentence of anywhere from probation to 10 years in prison. His lawyers asked for house arrest, saying Cosby —

It is time for justice.

Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come.

Judge Steven O’Neill who is legally blind — is too old and vulnerable to do time in prison.

Prosecutors asked for five to 10 years behind bars, saying he could still pose a threat to women.

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele rejected the notion that Cosby’s age and infirmity entitle him to mercy. “He was good at hiding this for a long time. Good at suppressing this for a long time. So it’s taken a long time to get there,” Steele said.

The sentencing came as another extraordinary #MeToo drama unfolded on Capitol Hill, where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh stands accused of

sexual misconduct more than three decades ago.

The Cosby case “really raised awareness of the pervasiveness of ... sexual misconduct against subordinates and against women of relatively less power,” said Daniel Filler, dean of Drexel University’s law school. “For jurors, I think it’s inherently changed the credibility of the accusers.”

The judge ruled on Cosby’s “sexually violent predator” status after a psychologist for the state testified that the entertainer appears to have a mental disorder that gives him an uncontrollable urge to have sex with women without their consent. When the ruling came down, a woman in the courtroom shot her fist into the air and whispered, “Yessss!”

In a statement submitted to the court and released Tuesday, Constand, 45, said that she has had to cope with years of anxiety and self-doubt. She said she now lives alone with her two dogs and has trouble trusting people.

“When the sexual assault happened, I was a young woman brimming with confidence and looking forward to a future bright with possibilities,” she wrote in her five-page statement.

“Now, almost 15 years later, I’m a middle-aged woman who’s been stuck in a holding pattern for most of her adult life, unable to heal fully or to move forward.”

She also wrote of Cosby: “We may never know the full extent of his double life as a sexual predator, but his decades-long reign of terror as a serial rapist is over.”

Arthur Mitchell: Ballet Legend and Pioneer Dies at 84

By Nsenga Burton Ph.D.

The world is mourning the loss of legendary choreographer Arthur Mitchell. Mitchell, who danced with the New York City Ballet from 1956-1968 and founded the groundbreaking and world renown Dance Theater of Harlem died Wednesday of heart failure.

Jennifer Dunning of The New York Times writes: “Mr. Mitchell, the first Black ballet dancer to achieve international stardom, was one of the most popular dancers with New York City Ballet, where he danced from 1956 to 1968 and displayed a dazzling presence, superlative artistry and powerful sense of self.

That charisma served him well as the director of Dance Theater of Harlem, the nation’s first major Black classical company, as it navigated its way through severe financial problems in recent decades and complex aesthetic questions about the relationship of Black

contemporary dancers to an 18thcentury European art form.”

Social media tributes have been pouring in for the game changer.

Mitchell attended the School of American Ballet in New York City, eventually joining the City Ballet where he would study with world famous dancer George Balanchine. Mitchell performed with acclaimed dancer Diana Adams in what would be a groundbreaking performance of Agon Pas de Deux, breaking racial barriers in

ballet. Mitchell performed with City Ballet in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” for which he is greatly remembered. Mitchell also performed in Balanchine’s “Requiem Canticles,” which was a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Following his assassination in 1968. It was this critically-acclaimed performance that inspired him to co-found the Dance Theater of Harlem with mentor Karel Shook in 1969, proving to the world that ballet is for everyone.

Mitchell was 84.

The AP does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, which Constand and other accusers have done. Constand went to police a year after waking up in a fog at Cosby’s gated estate, her clothes askew, only to have the district attorney pass on the case.

Another district attorney reopened the file a decade later and charged the TV star after stand-up comic Hannibal Buress’ riff about Cosby being a rapist prompted more accusers to come forward and after a federal judge, acting on a request from The Associated Press, unsealed some of Cosby’s startling, decade-old testimony in Constand’s related civil suit.

In his testimony, Cosby described sexual encounters with a string of actresses, models and other young women and talked about obtaining quaaludes to give to those he wanted to sleep with.

NEW YORK (AP)—The Black Eyed Peas tackle gun violence at schools and immigration in two new music videos for their song, “Big Love.”

The trio—it's unclear if Fergie is still part of the group—released the videos LAST Friday.

They also announced proceeds from the song will benefit the student-led March for Our Lives organization, calling for stricter gun laws, and Families Belong Together, a protest against the Trump administration policy of separating children from families after they are detained crossing the U.S. border illegally.

In the video confronting gun violence at schools, BEP members will.i.am and Taboo— who portray a teacher and a gym coach—are shot by a gunman along with several students, while others run for safety. Apl.de.ap is a police officer in the clip.

The second video focuses on border portal officers stopping immigrants from crossing the U.S. border.

“Big Love,” which is reminiscent of the Black Eyed Peas 2003 hit “Where Is the Love,” will appear on the band's new album, “Masters of the Sun.” It will be released Oct. 12 and is their first album since 2010's “The Beginning.”

The Grammy-winning group's hits include “Boom Boom Pow,” “My Humps” and “I Gotta Feeling.” They will launch their The Masters of the Sun Tour on Oct. 27 in London and wrap Nov. 18 in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Fergie, who released a solo album last year, has not recorded with the group. Representatives for the singer and the Black Eyed Peas didn't clarify her role in the group when asked by The Associated Press.
