PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS FIND SPIRITS

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center (PACC) was spirit central, Oct. 21, as attendees were treated to a movie, “The Phantom of the Opera,” followed by the Ojai Paranormal Investigators (OPI) sweeping the building for wayward spirits.

The Phantom of the Opera, starring Gerard Butler, is based on a French novel by Gaston Leroux and tells the story of how the Phantom is deformed and lives in the catacombs below the opera house, falls in love with the young and upcoming singer and vows revenge when she falls in love with someone else.

PACC Program Director Carolyn Mullin tells the Sentry the PACC had the license for the movie and decided to open it to the public for free.

“Some people enjoy seeing a fantastic musical,” she said.

The paranormal investigators will examine the theater because the venue has lots of material between the walls, she said, and will take the attendees through the ghost hunting process.

They did a preliminary tour a few weeks ago.

Demons of the night haunted the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center Oct. 21.

“We recorded all these amazing sound clips, and you could hear voices, a dog barking, and it was interesting material,” she said. “I’ll be interested in seeing what we get tonight; I think spirits tend to sleep in. People can track spirits in with them.”

Mullin said OPI did a preview event and OPI Investigator Jill Webb brought her daughter in, who she lost due to a tragic event.

Harbor Task Force has no silver bullet for water quality fix

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Channel Islands Harbor Task Force held a special meeting at the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center, Oct. 22, and discussed the latest water quality update as it moves forward.

The event brought a large crowd of people speaking on the item and featured Dr. David Caron from Aquatic Eco Technologies and Scott Johnson from Aquatic Bioassay Consulting Laboratories to offer their expert opinions.

Mayor Tim Flynn led the meeting off and said the comments will be directed only to the item scheduled and will follow with a discussion about the next meeting.

Councilman Bert Perello attended the meeting and said there was a memo of understanding (MOU) in place concerning Channel Islands Harbor and if he were on the council at the time it was approved he wouldn’t have supported it.

“We have that in place, the council is dealing with it, and this council has the opportunity to weigh in with me, or the partners involved,” he said. “My position is that I hold my city manager accountable. We all need to be involved, this is not going to be a quick fix, but we all need to stay involved.”

City Manager Alex Nguyen recognized people from visiting public agencies across the district, the county, the regional water quality control board, and Congresswoman Julia Brownley’s office, to name a few. n Harbor, see page 3

Day at the Park caters to kids with special needs

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com A beautiful day at Oxnard Beach Park, Oct. 20, was the backdrop for the Annual Day at the Park for youngsters with special needs who gathered and enjoyed a great event.

The youths got to ride the City Corp Train that was on hand, enjoy lunch, a football challenge and the bouncy house that kept them jumping.

Recreation Leader III Myra Ramirez led the City Corps train and has been in charge for three years.

“The best part is helping the community, working with the youth and getting new experiences every day,” she said.

Ramirez said she makes the children with special needs feel comfortable.

“I try to communicate with them and find out how their day is going

OPD make two arrests for vehicle theft On Oct. 17, at approximately 10:30 a.m., detectives from the Oxnard Auto Theft Task Force (OATTF) observed a previously reported stolen truck traveling southbound on Ventura Road approaching Ninth Street. Detectives stopped the vehicle and arrested 27-year-old Rubiel Juarez-Garcia.

One of the detectives involved in the Juarez-Garcia arrest was working a burglary case where surveillance footage had captured an image of the suspect. The detective recognized Juarez-Garcia as the person in the surveillance footage. Police ultimately charged Juarez-Garcia with burglary, vehicle theft, possession of stolen property, and an outstanding felony warrant. The arrest is Juarez-Garcia’s third for vehicle theft in the last couple of months.

On Oct. 18, at 2:32 a.m., an officer located an occupied stolen vehicle near the intersection of Del Sur Way and La Costa Place. The suspect, 25-year-old Joseph Garcia, fled from the vehicle as officers approached. Garcia was located after a yard-to-yard search and taken into custody for vehicle theft and possession of stolen property.

To combat the increase in vehicle theft throughout the city, the Oxnard Police Department Property Crimes Detectives came up with an aggressive strategy to lower instances of stolen vehicles. The use of “bait cars” throughout the city, Social Media (FB, Instagram, etc.) informational posts, property crimes investigators will work closely with the District Attorney’s Office for greater prosecution of repeat offenders, suspects arrested for driving a stolen vehicle and are under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be charged with DUI, use of theft deterrent stickers will be offered to vehicle owners and officers will be detached from patrol duties for the sole purpose of locating stolen vehicles.

The Oxnard Police Department cannot be alone in this campaign to curb vehicle theft. Crime prevention is YOUR responsibility, and it starts at home. Let criminals know #NotThisCar! Residents are encouraged to be “Partners in Public Safety” and are reminded to report suspicious activity to police.

Residents can report anonymously, and translators are available 24/7.

Anyone with information regarding criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at 805-3857740 or the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 and www. venturacountycrimestoppers.org.

On Oct. 19, 2018, at about 8:37 p.m., a motor officer with the Oxnard Police Department conducted a traffic stop on a silver 2015 Honda Civic for a vehicle code violation. The vehicle was reported stolen, previously in Oxnard. The driver, Luis Diego, was arrested without incident for the unlawful taking of a vehicle (a felony), and additional charges.

Oxnard is currently experiencing a significant increase in stolen vehicles. To combat the problem, the Police Department is prioritizing taking a proactive, comprehensive approach to the prevention, enforcement, and investigation of stolen vehicles.

A significant percentage of the stolen vehicles are preventable.

The Oxnard Police Department would like to remind residents of the following tips to prevent a vehicle from being taken: Never leave your car unlocked, not even for a minute.

Never leave your keys in the car, even if you think they are really “hidden.”

Don’t leave your car idling and unattended because it is

Police arrest Estebio Tavares On Oct. 20, 2018, at approximately 7:24 p.m., Officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to a residence in 5100 block of Perkins Road in the City of Oxnard. Police received a call regarding a possible domestic violence incident at that location. When officers arrived on the scene, they heard a subject, later identified as Esebio Tavares, making statements and yelling.

Officers believed additional occupants were inside the residence and held against their will.

The Oxnard Police Department

K-9 Unit, Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) Team, Crisis Negotiation Team, and Neighborhood Policing Team responded to assist with the incident. Officers were able to establish communication with Tavares. Shortly after that, Tavares became non-compliant and discontinued any communications.

Tavares refused to follow any commands by officers and barricaded himself inside the residence.

After several hours Tavares ultimately surrendered to waiting officers. It was found that Tavares was the sole occupant of the

residence and found to be under the influence of a controlled substance.

Police arrested Tavares for being under the influence of a controlled substance and not complying with the officers on scene.

Giselle Niwa was all smiles after receiving her awards from the Oxnard Education Foundation and shared the moment with her sisters.

Oxnard students receive the Awards of Excellence

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

The Oxnard Education Foundation hosted a special event at the Performing Arts Center, Oct. 17 and 18, as the foundation hosted an Awards of Excellence ceremony for the students, which served as congratulations for a job well done.

The awards honor students who show outstanding leadership in Language Arts and Mathematics, as the goal of the foundation is to encourage the work and inspire all students to chase the same target.

The event had a huge crowd of family members and well-wishers, as Foundation President Sue Odgers welcomed the group and expressed her pride in their achievements while encouraging them to keep reaching

for success.

Oxnard School District Superintendent Dr. Cesar Morales loved being at the event.

“I am so proud of all the OSD students recognized at the Awards of Excellence Event,” he said. “We had many students scoring in the top 5 percent of the state and many students that demonstrated growth into the proficiency category. A special thanks to the students for their extraordinary work and to their parents for providing love, support, and guidance to help their children in their academic endeavors.”

Nicole Garcia won the Language Arts and Mathematics award and her sister Lisa is proud of her.

Mom Soledad Sierros is proud of Nicole.

“I’m super proud because she’s worked hard and has won something,” she said. “She is achieving things.”

Lisa said her sister is starting slowly but is doing well in life.

“We’re going to have a special dinner out somewhere,” she said.

Nicole said winning the award was not hard.

“It’s paying attention and doing your work,” she said.

Yunuen Romero said she is grateful for winning the language arts award and was also appreciative her Aunt Maria Rosas, and siblings Alzee, Hailey, Oscar, and Evan Rosas came to share the event.

“I feel happy and excited,” Mom Anna said. “There’s going to be a party at the house for sure with a big dinner.”

Greg Niwa was proud of his daughter Giselle who walked away with an award and a bunch of balloons from her family.

“I met the standard in Language Arts,” Giselle said.

Greg said the award was all her.

“She did it all on her own,” Mom Georgina Niwa said. “We're going to have a nice dinner.”

The Oxnard City Council took a few minutes, Oct. 23, agenda to receive a presentation by the Ventura County Civic Alliance and Oxnard Union High School District for the Third Annual Linked Learning Summer at City Hall Program.

Mayor Tim Flynn touched on their activities during the summer and said the city had a great program.

Dr. Tom McCoy from the Oxnard Union High School District thanked the council for inviting the group to the dais.

“This is our third Summer at City Hall program and this summer we had 25 students, most of whom you see here,” he said. "Our goal at the Oxnard Union High School District is to provide people in Ventura County with high need jobs. The cost of living is something we are attentive to, and in the last five years, we created 15 career academies and 57 career pathways all aligned to our community colleges, our state universities and high need, high wage careers. These students are going to be filling our seats as they graduate from high school and enter into college and careers.”

Ventura County Civic Alliance Partner Maryann Rooney introduced a video the students made and thanked the council for their support.

“Thank you for the leadership from the mayor and city council members, we appreciate it and all the members who served with the students this summer,” she said.

The Oxnard City Council recognized the Ventura County Civic Alliance and Oxnard Union High School District for their Third Annual Linked Learning Summer at City Hall Program.

Harbor continued from page 1

In June, Nguyen said the city started receiving calls about water quality issues, and the city started testing the water for bacteria, nitrogen, and phosphorus quickly, plus dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity.

“The testing results confirmed the water was safe for human contact,” he said. “In July, the city council approved our first contract with our science guys, (Caron and Johnson) and I believe it was my third day on the job.”

At the end of July, they started installing aerators at the Seabridge Marina, he said, and in August, the city began testing for phytoplankton and chlorophyll.

“We also installed the first remote sensor in Seabridge at location 24, and we also met with the county’s watershed protection district to discuss their regulatory programs,” he said. “In Sept. we placed an order for three more remote sensors. "Staff and community members went to the regional water quality control board to advocate delaying the termination of the NRG permit, and the board approved that permit without termination.”

In Oct., the council approved releasing $250,000 from the Seabridge escrow fund account, he said, and the city council approved $69,000 to begin some of the work.

“Not long ago, Oct. 17, Councilman Bert Perello met with Senators Jackson and Limon to secure support at the state and federal levels,” Nguyen said. “We had a conference call with the regional water quality

control staff to coordinate efforts around the nutrient study that was done, Oct. 25, and going into the near future, in Nov, we’ll look at the baseline nutrient sample and install three more nutrient sensors before the first rain event, so we can take the sample for the nutrient study.”

Nguyen said they would also work towards applying for an ocean protection grant.

“In Dec, if we all do our rain dances and we are successful, we will begin looking at our results, and we will start the sediment sampling and also begin the hydrology study,” he said. “In Jan, rain pending, we will look at the results of the second nutrient sampling, and in Feb. and March, the same thing, we will look at the sampling results. In April, we’ll hopefully have a preliminary report and recommendations, depending on how much rain we get, and if it’s sufficient, we'll take samples, as well as look at the results of the hydrology study.”

He hopes to have a final nutrient hydrology report next June with recommendations and options.

“I remind everyone that this schedule needs to remain flexible because we can’t control Mother Nature, and we don’t know exactly what we’ll find,” he said.

Moving ahead for the long term, Nguyen said there needs to be a planning process and establish an early warning communication system for water in the harbor.

“We need to establish a long-term monitoring plan to inform people what’s happening out there, and we

will continue to secure grants and funding sources,” he said.

Caron gave the presentation to the crowd and walked the attendees through what they currently know.

“In late June, there were reports of dark, murky water, unpleasant smells, which is the consequence of decomposing organic material, including some organisms in the water,” he said.

That was present at Seabridge, and Westport, he said, which led to commonly asked questions.

“The city, along with Scott (Johnson) and I, have been investigating exactly what did happen and determine the causes if we can," he said. "I stress this has to be a datadriven process. This is akin to going to the doctor if something is wrong and you can’t ask the doctor for a cure because they don’t know what’s wrong yet. They have to diagnose what’s wrong.”

Caron said when it comes to environmental science, there is no difference.

“We have to go in, look at the system, try and measure as many things as we can to try and find out what’s wrong," he said. "Hopefully there is a solution to the problem.”

People want to skip ahead to the fix, he said, but before that, they need to understand the problem.

“I warn you; there is no simple answer,” he said. “If you go to the doctor, he’s not going to do one test, say you’ve got such-and-such generally, and say we’ll do such-andsuch for you. There can be a number of things contributing to these

environmental problems.”

He said the public saw the result, the dissolved oxygen, and animals in the water, and there was a problem.

“In all probability, there are a number of causes and influences that affect the underwater quality,” he said. “It’s also almost certain there was a succession of things.”

During his first few visits, he heard the public ask why they can’t turn the power plant back on, but the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board terminated the plant permit.

“That permit is a fancy way of saying we’re not going to let you discharge into coastal waters,” he said.

“There is a long permitting process, it goes through a huge amount of red tape, and it takes a long time to establish. Turning the plant back on would mean going through that same process again.”

Canon said people point fingers, but it’s one of those things people need to move on from.

“That plant is called a oncethrough cooling system,” he said.

“You take water in; you cool your system, you pump the water out.

It’s great, but we’re moving towards systems that won’t do that. There are animals killed in that process, and there are all kinds of issues. It’s not a near-term solution to the issue.”

Caron said they need to learn the sources of the nutrients and the hydraulic dynamics of the harbor.

“There was a massive algal bloom in the Seabridge, Westport area, there was no question about that, from the color of the water, the pictures I

saw, there was a massive bloom,” he said. “That means there are a lot of nutrients in the water.”

He said they need to identify the nutrient sources coming into the area.

“The organisms and microscopic algae in the water are no different than the plants in the backyard in your garden or your windowsill, and they require basic nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorous to grow,” he said. “If you go out into your garden and sprinkle Miracle Grow in there, you’re adding nitrogen and phosphorus in a form that plants can take up readily.”

Caron said nutrients are at the base of the issue in the harbor.

“We have to address where do those nutrients come from and where do those nutrients go,” he said.

Before they can find a solution, he said they need to understand how fast the water moves through the harbor and in what direction.

“You can have a completely standing body of water like in a lake or pond, and everything that comes in is staying in there, but you have a dynamic system,” he said. “You have the movement of water out the canal through the plant, but the system has changed," he said. "Those pumps are off, so there is a big need to figure out how long does water sit at Seabridge or Westport or any other area in order to determine what nutrients are coming in and out and how long can they sit there. We need to understand the water quality before we can develop options.”

This story will continue in the Nov. 2, Tri County Sentry.

OPED

Is it a Fragrance or a Stench?

Dr. James L. Snyder This past week I had to go to the mall. I know, I should know better, but I thought I could sneak in, get what I needed and sneak out again.

So much for my thoughts.

I wanted to purchase several tie chains for my neckties and searched every jewelry store and nobody had them. Finally, I ordered three online, which would be shipped free, (which always gets my attention) to the nearest store, which happened to be in the mall.

I do not like the mall and choose not to go there if I can help it. When in the mall, I am usually very nervous and get confused and do not know which way I am going. Once I get in, I am not quite sure how to get out again. Everything seems to be contrived to confuse a person like myself.

Looking down at the ground while walking I became rather confused and I happen to turn into an open door.

My mall savvy is not sophisticated in the least. The door I turned into happened to be for the store Victoria’s Secret. I do not know who Victoria is, I did not know what the store was all about, but when I got in the store, I discovered Victoria’s Secret much to my great embarrassment.

That is exactly the reason I do not like going into the malls. They have places like this that a gentleman, such as Yours Truly, should never enter.

I am not sure how I got out of that store, all I can remember was a great deal of hilarious laughter thrown in my direction from inside. I just hope they did not recognize me. They probably did not, because I had all my clothes on.

It has been a long time since that incident and now I had to go and pick up my order. I put together a plan to sneak in very quietly, pick up my order and tiptoe out as quietly as I came in.

You know what they say about well-laid plans! Whether mine was well laid or not, it blew up in my face.

I did slip into the mall and found the store where my order was. I picked them up and quietly t u r n e d around a n d

I suppose graciously as possible. cheerfully. many people are concerned with how She would have none of it. “And I nodded and tried to get away as how do you smell today, sir?” they smell. I am not one of them.

My basic philosophy along this line is simply, if I cannot stand my own smell, I take a shower. I know when it is time to take a shower when I can smell myself.

She wanted to introduce me to some body lotions and ointments and perfumes that would make me smell alluring to anybody I met during the day.

Personally, I do not have a “Bucket List” but if I did, this would not be one of the items on it.

Trying to be polite, I informed the young woman I was late for an appointment and needed to get on right away.

“Oh,” she said very cheerfully, “this will not take long at all.”

With that said, and before I could process what she said, she began rubbing my face with body ointment or lotion of some sort. I froze and for a few moments, I could not even move. Even the little grey cells upstairs were shocked into a rare state of stillness.

“Now, you smell wonderful.”

It was at that time I retired with honor my gentlemanly manners and started running as fast as I could run without drawing too much attention to myself.

I smelled that “fragrance” for three days in spite of the fact that I took 17 showers in the meantime.

Sometimes our focus is always on the outside. I like what Jesus said, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess” (Matthew 23:25).

It does not matter how good I smell on the outside if there is stench on the inside. I want to focus on my inside and make it as fresh as possible. That is the fragrance God smells.

OPED Done to Us Not with Us: Calling for New Voices THE MESSAGE MATTERS AND SO DOES THE MESSENGER

By Khalilah Long, Communications Manager, UNCF Parents play critical roles in their child’s achievement from kindergarten through high school graduation. Parent advocacy has proven to have positive implications on student educational success. But who advocates for and supports parents and caregivers? In African American households, oftentimes, clergy or other prominent community leaders are the galvanizing force behind motivating community involvement.

In the ‘50s and ’60s, during the Civil Rights Movement, critical voices for change came through influential leaders. Dorothy Height, for example, was instrumental in bringing together women of different races to create a dialogue of understanding. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. motivated the Birmingham, Alabama community to nonviolently protest segregation. And in more recent history, organizers Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi inspired millions to support #BlackLivesMatter; bringing light to systematic racism. But what about education reform? Who is standing with parents as they call for access to better educational opportunities in their communities?

In a report produced by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), Done to Us, Not With Us, African American parents said that they felt a number of obstacles prevent them from advocating more for education reform. Too many African American communities experience low-quality, under resourced K-12 schools and are staffed by educators who are less experienced than those in high-income neighborhoods. This disparity hinders economic growth.

It also causes a gap in student college preparation.

Research findings help us better understand how to best reach

parents; despite these challenges.

Not only do we have to support parents as they navigate the collegegoing process, but we also have to highlight the larger educational crisis that exists within the African American community. We need to let parents know that they can make a difference and that their children can achieve higher outcomes than what some might expect for them.

The UNCF report also acknowledges that the messenger matters. In Malcom Gladwell’s The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, he states “In epidemics, the messenger matters: messengers are what makes something spread. But the content of the message matters. And the

specific quality that a message needs to be successful is the quality of ‘stickiness’”.

We need to let parents know that they can make a difference and that their children can achieve higher outcomes.

In other words, people relate to relatable people! It’s extremely important that messengers who understand the current educational

climate and who understand the African American community – are carrying these messages of how to advocate for their child in school and what actions they can take to bring about change in their local jurisdictions.

In the blog post titled Rethinking America’s K-12 Debate, Darrell Bradford, executive vice president of 50CAN sums it up perfectly, “When it comes to how to best educate children, we don’t know all of the answers, but we should commit to empowering new voices, fostering innovative ideas, and asking lots of questions.”

Academic Standards and the Every Student Succeeds Act Do Children All Need to Succeed the Same Way? By: Dr. Elizabeth Primas The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines standards as, “something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example.

For example,” the Egyptians established the 365-day calendar, recording 4236 BC as the first year in recorded history. Around 1100 AD in England, it was determined that the length of King Henry Beauclerc’s foot would be used for the standard measurement of a linear foot.

These standards of time and linear measurement are still widely used and accepted today. During the Civil War, America recognized a need for standardized gauges for the railroads so that parts were easily inter-changeable. Standards continue to remain essential aspects of organization as societies increase in size and complexity. The same concept applies to academic standards in education.

In the mid-twentieth century, educators adopted academic standards. Those standards were designed to ensure that all students progressed at relatively the same pace while acquiring the skills necessary to become contributing members of society.

One example of this is the adoption of a Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) by the District of Columbia in the 1980s. CBC consisted of a series of skill sets

Unlike widgets, children will never fit perfectly into standardized molds. They learn to walk at different ages. They learn to talk at different ages. And each child has a different set of interests and learning style. Students’ ability to demonstrate mastery in one

within a hierarchy. Students were required to demonstrate mastery of the skills at one level before progressing to the next. Teachers were required to teach/test/reteach (if necessary) and then retest. Once students demonstrated mastery, they received a score that reflected such. The score did not entail how many times the teacher had to reteach and retest before the students acquired the intended skillset.

A more recent example of academic standards is the 2009 states-focused effort to create clear, consistent, and competitive learning goals, resulting in the Common Core State Standards.

Common Core State Standards were adopted by 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia. The federal government

supported the validity of Common Core Standards by providing financial incentives for state adoption.

Proponents of Common Core Standards argue that the standards provide students with the necessary knowledge to succeed in college and career regardless of geographical location. However, many critics have argued against this, emphasizing resulting ambiguity, lack of training, and lowered student expectations as the key points the identify a policy in need of revision. In 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act, a re-authorization of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESSA), offered a resolution.

Under ESSA, states have the option of keeping Common Core

State Standards or creating their own state standards. The financial incentive to adopt Common Core by the federal government no longer exists and the option to work with a consortium of states to develop standards is also available to state educational leadership.

Guidelines set by ESSA for statedeveloped academic standards is a step in the right direction. ESSA allows for states to decide how to best set goals and meet the needs of students. It is obvious from the widespread criticisms of Common Core that uniform education standards have not worked.

As states continue to develop academic standards they must keep this in mind, understanding that every child does not learn and/or demonstrate knowledge in the same way.

area over another has a lot to do with their previous knowledge and exposure to out-of-the-classroom experiences.

As a mother to many children, I have observed that some of my children are good in math, while others are musically inclined. A select few demonstrate the ability to make fantastic meals out of simple ingredients, while others have a hard time boiling water. We must understand that every child is capable of achievement at high levels as long as we encourage their strengths. Whatever their gifts and talents, we need them all.

She loves seeing the families get together, plus the kids interacting with other special needs kids. “We make their day happy,” she said. “The majority of kids have their parents (with them) and they assist them with their food. They come a lot, so they know how to carry their own plate.”

City Corps volunteer Michael Moraga helps with different projects, like the Day at the Park and the Strawberry Festival. “I got involved because I had too much time at my house, and I wanted to do something better,”

he said.

Recreation Leader III Cecelia Perez, who drove the train, said the secret to a good train ride is to maintain a safe speed and make sure the children are safe.

“I got involved when I was 15, and I had too much spare time, so I decided to get involved with the community,” she said. “I took this on myself, because my previous family members were involved with the program.”

She’s been doing the Day in the Park event for 10 years, and they assign jobs based on experience levels.

“When I was young, like them, I learned,” she said.

Lorena Rodriguez had her son Christian with her and has attended the event for the last five years. “Today we are going to have flag football practice,” she said. “He used to ride on the train all the time, but now he’s older.” She said Christian enjoys socializing with his peers.

“I get to talk to other parents and hear some stories,” Lorena said. “Christian knew he was going to come because we had our schedule for flag football.”

Catherine Thomas said her little brother is on the sports team with the Oxnard Special Populations. “He has a game here once a week,” she said. “they come here once a month and play football.”

Rainbow Connection is a support center for people with disabilities and their families.

The Connection is a support group and offers different presentations and direct support to other family members and people with disabilities. When people come to visit, the staff shows them the different

programs they have, which includes a library.

The Rainbow Connection is at the Tri County Regional Center. Patricia GamboaPuentes worked at the Rainbow Connection for many years and still occasionally helps out.

“When my daughter was young, I didn’t have any support, except for the parents at school and through the school system,” she said. “I also needed it for her siblings and they offer sibling groups there also. One day, Lori Jordan, the rainbow director, asked if I would like to work with them, and I said why not?”

The Rainbow Connection

makes you feel like part of a community, she said, and they offer a lot of resources.

“They teach you to advocate for your child, especially in the school setting and outside services,” she said. “They offer a lot of workshops, support groups, and it’s a community that comes together.”

The Rainbow Connections offer fun events like a Halloween Dance and different types of socials for teens and older consumers.

“This is the last Day in the Park for the season,” she said.

“Maggie and I are going for a walk on the beach.”

with messages in dreams because their mind is in an “alpha” state.

“People will give you messages, but it is hard to determine whether it was a dream or visitation,” she said.

“The spirits who do come across are not malevolent (evil), and they continue to give messages, so we can continue to heal. Sometimes when people pass they have regrets or resentment, so it’s a cool thing when they come through and sometimes apologize.”

JoJo cited a suicide case they investigated, and the spirit came through and apologized to his son for his actions and said his name.

“His son tried several times to prevent him from killing himself,” she said.

Webb said the company started in 2006 when her daughter was killed in a car accident, and she could feel her immediately.

“I was experiencing the cold air over me,” she said. “The day of her passing, I knew something was wrong, and I was with my sister at her office in Ventura, I kept pacing backand-forth saying something is wrong, I don’t know what it is, and I got an elephant on my chest. It was the time she passed, and I didn’t know until later that evening when there was a knock on the door, and a police officer was letting me know that she was in a car accident.”

Within a day, she said the cold air was over her and Jill knew it was her.

“There was cold air, and I could feel it condensed over a big part of my body,” she said.

“My youngest daughter would take a picture, and there would be an orb (ball of light) there.”

JoJo said when they did their

first EVP session, they received 19 messages and the first message was Webb’s daughter who died saying “hi mom.”

The group focuses on removing fear about the paranormal, Jill told the group, as those spirits are family members who are with you.

“We had a few people who moved out of their homes because they were a little freaked out,” she said.

JoJo said everyone has an electromagnetic field which is measurable.

“Even inanimate objects, like locks and walls, have energy,” she said. “Even though you can’t see it, there are frequencies and can be measured.”

She called it paranormal, but also normal.

“Everything has this mathematical equation, so science is proving the energy doesn’t die,” JoJo said. “When you do hear the voices, which you will, it’s amazing.”

Jill said her daughter told her she had just moved to Mt. Shasta, which is also the name of her dog. In the morning after the recording, JoJo put on the headphones and her first reaction was “are you kidding me?”

“We got 19 clear messages, called class A,” she said. “With class A messages you know what they’re saying, class B is a little fuzzy or staticky, and class C is something you can’t make out.”

She said they do phone recordings for people out of state and receive 15 clientspecific messages within 10 minutes.

“Usually, what we do is go on our intuition and what we are feeling, and these tools are confirmation of what we are picking up,” Jill said.

Jessica Fay had a great time hunting ghosts.

“This is a great experience, and I enjoyed it,” she said. “I will definitely research their paranormal group.”

Marie Villa liked the education element during the tour.

“It’s nice to be with a group that isn’t trying to cultivate fear,” she said. “They are about it being a helpful experience more than anything.”

Krystal Davey said, “she’s not afraid of no ghost,” but she did plan to tell her friends about the experience.

“It was interesting,” she said.

theater,” she said. “Her name was Marian.”

Mullin gave the tour and had been doing a lot of research over the last few months and “pestering” staff members about supernatural anecdotes and experiences.

“We’ve had staff that has been here for 10-15 years, and they’ve seen quite a bit,” she said.

Joann (JoJo) Azoo founded OPI, and they’ve been seeking out ghosts for approximately 12 years and found many spirits.

“We are electronic voice phenomenon specialists, which means that we are able to record spirit messages,” she said. “We do everything for free; the messages are client specific.

We get calls from around the country, and we can do it over the phone.”

Webb does spirit photography, gets images of orbs and people who passed over, and Brandon Azoo, JoJo's son, is a seer who can’t turn it on and off.

“When we go on investigations, usually I’ll try to debunk what paranormal situations people see, but usually we’ll get “EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) coming through,” he said.

JoJo said the team makes voice recordings and they’ll come through. She hears on a higher frequency.

“Sometimes the voices are recognizable, and they’ll give a memory of when you were younger, and it will be so specific you’ll know who’s giving you that message," she said. "Sometimes they’ll give you a current event, like what you did yesterday.

We work on murder cases and suicide cases and pass it along to family members.”

She said many family members would come through

VAUGHN Case No. 56-2018-00516293-PR-PW-OXN To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ALANNAH D. VAUGHN. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed

by SUMMER VAUGHN in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that SUMMER VAUGHN 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 11/7/2018 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

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

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

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

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form 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.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 071976-CA. 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company,

either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-48542. 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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2018

HEALTH Shedding Light on the ‘Invisible Symptoms’ of Sickle Cell Disease What I’ve heard time and time again from people living with SCD is that they often feel isolated in their journey. Kyle, a patient living with SCD, recently summed it up nicely when he said, “Sometimes it is hard to just get out of bed.

What it means to live in pain is not something that many can truly understand.”

For Kyle and many others who struggle with the invisible symptoms of SCD, I want to focus this column on the mental health challenges of SCD. It’s an important aspect of the disease that doesn’t receive the attention it deserves.

Only by increasing understanding of these issues can we help SCD patients feel less alone.

What are some of the “invisible symptoms” associated with SCD? Depression and anxiety are common among those with SCD. Some contributing factors may include the unpredictability of when they’ll experience a pain crisis, the job instability and financial stress that can result from frequent hospitalizations, and the realization of a potentially reduced life expectancy.

In addition, the impact of racial bias and stigma directed towards SCD patients should not be underestimated, particularly as it relates to the legitimate use of opioids to ease the excruciating pain that comes with a vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC). These pain crises occur when blood flow is blocked, which can cause debilitating pain.

Some patients experience more than six VOCs each year. People who are unaware of SCD may label patients “drug seekers.” Not only does this discrimination and stigma impact medical, but it also can take a toll on a patient’s mental health.

The first step to support people

By Carol McGruder Co-Chair of the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council Just as cigarettes were finally decreasing in popularity, vaping came along and made tobacco cool again. In fact, e-cigs are now the most commonly used form of tobacco among California high school students.

Why is this happening? In short, flavors.

The Tobacco Industry uses sweet, enticing flavors with fun names like Captain Berry Crunch or Sour Gummy Worms to attract kids. While e-cigs are relatively new, using flavors to get people hooked to tobacco isn’t.

Menthol was added to cigarettes nearly 100 years ago to give them a minty, fresh taste that masks the harshness of tobacco, making it harder for people to quit. For generations, the Tobacco Industry targeted menthol cigarettes at the African American community through aggressive marketing and advertising – and the result is still evident today – 70% of all menthol smokers in California are African American, a much higher percentage than in other groups.

The industry needs kids to use their products to become the next generation of customers. E-cigarettes contain addictive, harmful chemicals known to cause a host of illnesses, and when kids use them they are 3 times more likely to smoke cigarettes a year later.

Menthol was originally used by the Tobacco Industry as a “starter product” to get people addicted. A far wider number of flavors are being used for the same reason now. Go to FlavorsHookKids.org to learn more about how the tobacco industry is using flavors to hook kids, and what you can do about it. Addiction is not a phase; our children will grow out of adolescent behavior but they won’t grow out of a deadly addiction.

Immunotherapy Scores a First Win Against Some Breast Cancers

By Marilynn Marchione For the first time, one of the new immunotherapy drugs has shown promise against breast cancer in a large study that combined it with chemotherapy to treat an aggressive form of the disease. But the benefit for most women was small, raising questions about whether the treatment is worth its high cost and side effects.

Results were discussed Saturday at a cancer conference in Munich and published by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Drugs called checkpoint inhibitors have transformed treatment of many types of cancer by removing a chemical brake that keeps the immune system from killing tumor cells. Their discovery recently earned scientists a Nobel Prize. Until now, though, they haven't proved valuable against breast cancer.

The new study tested one from Roche called Tecentriq plus chemo versus chemo alone in 902 women with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. About 15 percent of cases are this type—their growth is not fueled by the hormones estrogen or progesterone, or the gene that Herceptin targets, making them hard to treat.

Women in the study who received Tecentriq plus chemo went two months longer on average without their cancer worsening compared with those on chemo alone—a

level results and saw encouraging signs. Women with high levels who received the combo treatment lived roughly 25 months on average versus about 15 months for women given chemo alone.

That's a big difference, but it will take more time to see if there's

Another breast cancer specialist with no role in the study, Dr. Michael Hassett at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, said he felt “cautious excitement” that immunotherapy may prove helpful for certain breast cancer patients.

modest benefit. The combo did not significantly improve survival in an early look before long-term followup is complete.

Previous studies found that immunotherapies work best in patients with high levels of a protein

that the drugs target, and the plan for the breast cancer study called for analyzing how women fared according to that factor if Tecentriq improved survival overall.

The drug failed that test, but researchers still looked at protein-

a reliable way to predict benefit, said Dr. Jennifer Litton of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. She had no role in running the study but enrolled some patients in it and oversees 14 others testing immunotherapies.

“We're really hopeful that we can identify a group of women who can get a much bigger and longer

response,” she said.

Another breast cancer specialist with no role in the study, Dr. Michael Hassett at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, said he felt “cautious excitement” that immunotherapy may prove helpful for certain breast cancer patients.

Side effects need a close look, both doctors said. Nearly all study participants had typical chemo side effects such as nausea or low blood cell counts, but serious ones were more common with the combo treatment and twice as many women on it stopped treatment for that reason.

Three of the six deaths from side effects in the combo group were blamed on the treatment itself; only one of three such deaths in the chemo group was.

Cost is another concern.

Tecentriq is $12,500 a month. The chemo in this study was Celgene's Abraxane, which costs about $3,000 per dose plus doctor fees for the IV treatments. Older chemo drugs cost less but require patients to use a steroid to prevent allergic reactions that might interfere with the immunotherapy. Abraxane was chosen because it avoids the need for a steroid, said one study leader, Dr. Sylvia Adams of NYU Langone Health.

The study was sponsored by Roche and many study leaders consult or work for the company or own stock in it.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2018

Yara Shahidi URGES FIGHT AGAINST

‘IDENTITY BLIND NARRATIVE’

Yara Shahidi brought the crowd to its feet at the GLSEN Respect Awards as she warned against an "identity blind narrative" in the struggle for acceptance of all.

"We should all feel deserved and supported in expressing our right to being our whole selves, limited by nothing regardless of ethnicity, gender, identity, sexuality, ability, religion or any other identity that we choose," the 18-year-

old "grown-ish" actress said Friday at a ceremony in Beverly Hills, California.

"More than that, the common spaces we must maneuver through should be safe spaces in which our presence and existence are inherently valued."

In promoting equity, she said, "it is dangerous to promote an identity blind narrative."

She was honored with the Gamechanger Award from the youthfocused Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network for her work on behalf of girls' education, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. The nonprofit was founded in 1990 to fight against LGBTQ bullying and advocate for those communities of young people on other issues as well in schools.

Communities, Shahidi said, must not separate themselves but celebrate differences, including those of race, religion and gender. That includes schools. Educators, she said, should promote a more inclusive history and greater respect for all nuances and identities.

"We must not separate ourselves from each community. We must be one," Shahidi said, taking a jab at the administration of President Donald Trump.

She quoted James Baldwin in urging schoolchildren to take hold of the world as their own and thanked her "Papa," photographer Afshin Shahidi, for showing her "a fight to help one person belong is a fight that belongs to all of us."

Council approves a 100 percent renewable default utility option

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

rates are structured with that in mind.”

Mallory said if you don’t agree with the tier, you can opt up or opt out, at no charge.

“You can change as many times as you want in a year,” she said. Public comments on the item brought a full range of passion to the dais, which started with Sage Rainbow who favored the 100 percent tier.

“It seems ludicrous; would you consider the option of dirty power,” he asked. “If you look at it that way, it’s obvious.”

Climate change is the basis behind clean power, he said, and what alarms climatologists the most are the predictions they made today of what may happen a decade from today is now happening now as far as catastrophic consequences due to climate change.

“Just this last week, the recent landmark United Nations report from scientists from over 40 countries, who reviewed over 6,000 scientific reports which are made up from multitudes of other scientists, say these dangers are real and imminent; now 100 percent renewable energy will give Oxnard residents cleaner air to breathe.”

Cap Young said if anyone can opt down, there are no finances on the line.

“Isn’t this decision of 50 percent or 100 percent, what’s the message we are going to send,” he said.

Al Velasquez told the council that climate change had been around since the time of the pharaohs.

“You had the seven-year drought and the seven years of flooding,” he said. It’s a natural phenomenon.”

He said if they go with the Clean Power Alliance, Edison will not set the rate. “The PUC does not govern this new company,” he said. “That’s why they tried to push it down your throats months ago.”

Councilman Oscar Madrigal asked about the CARE program, and Mallory told the group the program would continue if they set the rate at 100, 50, or 36 percent.

“CARE participants will stay with their base rate, which is 34 percent,” Mallory said.

Jennifer Ward, head of local government affairs for the Clean Power Alliance, said the first notice would go to customers 60 days before enrollment.

“Residential customers enroll in Feb.,” she said. “In terms of the actual timeline, depending on when your

meter is read, that’s when the transition occurs.”

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez supports 100 percent renewable energy.

“It is a default rate, and it gets the city to retain leadership that we’ve been working on for the past 10 years to make our city cleaner and help the world with its climate goals,” she said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said if the city chooses the 100 percent tier, the city will face a 79 percent premium.

“So, we’re looking at $430,000 additional if we go with the 100 percent tier,”

he said. “That’s $430,000 that we can use for other things. I love the renewable energy wholeheartedly, but I have to wear my hat for the community, and we’re looking at almost a half million dollars that is going to come out of some budget somewhere.”

Mallory said if the city wants to opt-down from 100 to a 50 percent tier there is no charge for that.

Councilman Bert Perello asked City Manager Alex Nguyen if he supports staff ’s 50 percent recommendation.

“This is the kind of policy that a body like this makes, T:5.5”

that is also a very aspirational policy,” he said. “I can certainly appreciate the nuance of trying to be aspirational and do the thing that you know is right and trying to be pragmatic.

This is one of those moments when I am glad I'm in my chair and not yours.”

Mayor Tim Flynn said the issues weighing on him are the outreach and opting out of the program and whether or not it will be a robust program.

“The rate increase process for wastewater was the antithesis of robust, and it nearly allowed a catastrophic situation to take place,” he said.

T:10”

By a 5-1 vote, the Oxnard City Council disregarded staff recommendation for a 50 percent renewable energy tier and adopted a 100 percent renewable default tier option for the Clean Power Alliance, Oct. 23.

The item brought a massive crowd to the council meeting as most in the room supported a 100 percent default tier.

Oxnard Planning & Environmental Services Manager Kathleen Mallory told the group the council adopted Ordinance 2395 on Feb. 27, 2018, to join Los Angeles Community Choice Energy, LACCE, which became the Clean Power Alliance, or CPA. “The renaming was to reflect the organizational goals of the LACCE program better,” she said.

The CPA is a community choice aggregation program which allows a jurisdiction to select an alternative to Southern California Edison’s (SCE) energy procurement.

“The CPA gives customers a choice to secure their utility provider, and it gives cities and counties more control over power procurement rate setting and the blend of renewables provided,” she said. “The city is currently serving on the CPA board and is participating actively in that program.”

The CPA procures clean power and sells it to customers, she said, while Southern California Edison is responsible for its delivery, billing, and resolution of all electrical issues. The CPA will send the power through Edison’s lines. The clean power alliance is a joint authority that has 31 members, including Los Angeles and Ventura County, plus 29 cities.

“Locally, the cities of Ventura, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Simi Valley, and Ojai have joined the CPA,” she said. “On Feb. 1, 2019, residents will automatically be enrolled in the CPA service, versus SCE Energy, and they’ll begin paying for their power via an inline charge or generation charge.

All non-residential customers must enroll in the CPA on May 1, 2019, she said, unless they opt out of the program.

“The CPA has three rate options to suit customer needs; the 36 percent renewable program will offer a savings of a 1 to 2 percent discount,

and this is important to notice because it's based on the 2018 rate structure,” she said.

The 50 percent renewable energy tier offers a zero to 1 percent overall bill discount for SCE customers, she said, and the 100 percent renewable option means a seven to nine percent bill premium to noncare customers.

“Just for clarification, Edison’s program for when they have to do that is 2045,” Mallory said. “By going with the Clean Power Alliance, we’re getting clean energy sooner, and there are obvious benefits to that, like carbon emissions and greenhouse gas reductions.”

The city’s per capita income is the second lowest in Ventura, Mallory said, and the California Alternative Rate for Energy (CARE) provides qualified customers with a 30 percent discount rate on their monthly electric bills.

“There is 35 percent of our residential accounts enrolled in the CARE program, and residential accounts represent 24 percent of the city’s energy accounts,” she said. “When a customer enrolls in CPA service, their participation in that program continues through Edison.”

She said the CPA board decided to keep discount rate programs in jurisdictions, even when they select the 100 percent option.

“Regardless of what the city chooses as far as the different tiers, the CARE program will continue for about 35 percent of our residential customers,” Mallory said.

There have been questions about the PCIA (Power Charge Indifference Adjustment), she said, which is a fee charged by SCE to all CCA customers to ensure that remaining utility customers don’t experience a cost increase because of customers leaving the CPA program.

“It’s meant to compensate the utility for electric generation that’s built into the contracts they had to secure,” she said. “On Oct. 11, 2018, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) voted in favor of something called the Alternative Proposed Decision (APD) at the PCIA hearing. That decision set new methodologies for the way utilities can calculate the fee to come out of the CPA program.

When we worked with the Clean Power Alliance, they worked with all the customers and they had already thought that would happen, so the
