Oxmnard-- The community meeting held by the City of Oxnard, Nov. 19, had its share of controversy as the group debated a proposed temporary use permit for the southwestern corner of W. Hueneme and Perkins Road.

The permit will be for five years and will include a guard house, perimeter lighting and fencing with landscaping, drainage improvements and a gravel base for vehicle parking.

The special use permit will affect the South Winds and Cypress neighborhoods.

City Planner Jay Dombrowalski reviewed the project and said it would have a time limit as a condition for approval.

“The project is for the storage of vehicles, with a maximum of 4,044 vehicles that will be individually driven to-and-from the Port of Hueneme," he said. “This project will have security on-site 24 hours a day, on the corner of Hueneme Road and Perkins Road and it’s currently a vacant lot. The permit right now is in the environmental document phase, and we anticipate releasing the document at the end of the month.”

“Much better, now I can talk,” he said.

Youngster Victoria, along with two other people collaborated on picking the five of hearts.

“Is there any way that Cookie could have known you were going to pick the five of hearts,” William the Wizard asked.

The five of hearts that Cookie selected was the only card reversed in a pack of standard playing cards.

“She (Cookie) is never wrong,” he said. “It’s the five of hearts.”

From there, the wizard invited youngster Aria up to the front and duo looked at a sign that said “fresh fish sold here today." By process of elimination, the wizard eliminated the unnecessary words on the sign and tore them off until the sign just said fresh.

“We know it’s today and we know we’re here,” he said.

Aria waved her hand over the pile of torn papers and exclaimed heal!

“Wow,” the kids exclaimed as the paper become one again.

From there, the wizard pulled out a deck of Tarot cards and five people pulled a card, looked at the image and dropped it into a bag.

GEM AND AND MINERAL MINERAL SHOW SHOW OFFERS OFFER UNIQUE GEM UNIQUEFINDS FINDS

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- It was a classic case of shoppers gone wild at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, Nov. 18, as the 49th annual Gem and Mineral Show brought large crowds to the venue, all looking for a treasure that will last a lifetime.

The show was split into two groups as the gems were to the right and the minerals were to the left, and both sides offered great values and unique items.

The Oxnard Gem and Mineral Society hosted the show and President Stephanie Hagiwara the group may move from the Performing Arts Center in 2019.

“If you are a kid who loves dinosaurs there is a whole bunch of things to do,” she said. “We have casts of dinosaurs that are from

“We had one person put in a collection about jade,” she

said. “They don’t need to be the fanciest things because there are other items people can find on the beach.”

Ventura County has a lot of whale bones, she said, because they die and wash up on the beach.

David Mautz had one artifact on display from the Devonian Era that was approximately 400 million years old and was busy working on other treasures.

“I am cleaning fossils, a type of clam that came out of the cliffs at Isla Vista,” he said. “It has loose sand, and is between 40 and 50,000 years old, so it’s young as far as fossils are concerned.”

As a child, he was fascinated by dinosaurs, and he also had a great-uncle that collected fossils.

The planning commission has not identified a meeting date for the project, he said, but the commission is the decision maker for the permit.

Port Director and Chief Operating Officer Kristin Decas took over the discussion and gave some context about the port, which has five elected commissioners.

“You, the people in this room, elect these harbor commissioners," she said. "We work for and serve you, and we don’t collect taxes from you. We’re a public district, and our job is to provide economic and social good for the community.”

The project will lead to many jobs, she said, with an average income of $73,000 per year.

“We just permitted a site on Edison Avenue, and that particular site has 35 parttime positions with great benefits,” she said.

“Glovis, who we are representing tonight, will be a customer using this property, and they are a local employer, and employ 169 people, of which 147 live right here in Oxnard.”

The port brings approximately $74 million into the community, she said, which includes payroll for 1,000 people.

“It includes port security grants that we’ve been able to go after and bring a value security measure here for homeland security,” she said.

The automotive project began 30 months ago as a joint-use initiative with the City of Oxnard, she said, and the goal is to secure the property temporarily while they come up with long-term plans.

“This is a temporary use of this site and a mutual use between the port and the n Community, see page 2

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, SENTRY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 22, 23, 2018 2018 TRI-COUNTY

OPD arrests Micah Edwards On Nov. 21, 2018, at approximately 12:07 a.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to a 911 call from an elderly caller about a male suspect observed in the backyard of a residence in the 900 block of South King Street. Responding officers set up a perimeter around the yard of the home and began to look for the suspect.

The suspect, Micah Edwards, attempted to flee from officers but was apprehended as he jumped over a fence leading to the street.

Edwards was arrested on suspicion of prowling (California Penal Code 647(h) and providing a false name to a peace officer (California Penal Code 148.9). He was also found to have two outstanding felony and misdemeanor arrest warrants for possession of a deadly weapon and drug-related charges.

Officers booked Edwards into Ventura County Jail. In 2000, Edwards was convicted of first-degree residential burglary, which was his second conviction for residential burglary, and sentenced to 22 years in State prison, of which he served four years.

Anyone with information regarding this incident, or any criminal activity, is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at 805-385-7600. Individuals can remain anonymous by calling the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or by going to venturacountycrimestoppers.org/ contactus.apx.

OPD arrests another car thief On Nov. 19, 2018, at about 12:58 AM, Oxnard Police received a call about a stolen vehicle, a White 2018 Fiat, which occurred in the 3600 block of Taffrail Lane. A witness reported to police that the suspect had parked and abandoned the vehicle in the 3600 block of Pier Walk.

Officers responded to the area and located the driver running in the 600 block of Marbella Way in Oxnard. The suspect, a 17-year-old male juvenile, was contacted and detained.

The investigation revealed the youth was observed taking and driving away with the vehicle before he abandoned it. Police arrested the minor for the unlawful taking/driving of a motor vehicle (California Vehicle Code 10851). Oxnard is currently experiencing a significant increase in stolen vehicles. To combat the problem, the Police Department is prioritizing a proactive, comprehensive approach in 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 unnecessary (it doesn’t get cold enough here), it is unsafe, illegal, and someone can steal your car.

• Wheel locks, brake pedal locks, and steering wheel locks are also useful.

If anyone has any information regarding stolen vehicles contact Ventura County Crime Stoppers, 800-222-TIPS or venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email.

NEWS Christmas Toy Drive helps kids with needs and students succeed

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- Residents from all over flocked to Rio Valle Middle School, Nov. 18, as the Christmas Toy Drive Show N' Shine was an event that benefitted youngsters on many levels.

Attendees came armed with toys to donate, while others paid a $20 admission fee that went to kids who participate in the AVID program in the Oxnard School District.

The event, hosted by the Pachuco Car Club, took on a celebratory feel as booths staffed by AVID students sold items and vendors also sold goods that made shopping fun.

Seventh Grade AVID Teacher Erin Tillman was working the entrance with two kids and said the money raised during the event help students prepare for college.

“We take students who are traditionally in the middle and often are the first to go to college or students who may need extra support,” she said. “They are mostly A, B, and C students who are good students but might need a little extra support with organization.

We do tutorials twice a week with them and break down some harder work they are doing with college tutors, so they learn to ask higher level thinking questions, do more collaboration and work-life skills.”

The AVID group takes college field trips, she said, and a lot of the money raised goes toward busses to

take the kids to campuses, so they can see what college is like and get excited about certain aspects of campus life.

“They get college SWAG to take home,” she said.

The Oxnard School District has seven AVID classes and 150 students, she said, so field trips are expensive.

“We try to bring in guest speakers and do all kinds of other things for them,” she said. “All of these toys are going to be donated to Toys for Tots foster kids, and I think it’s powerful for all these middle school kids to be part of

that and see to help others who are less fortunate during the holidays.”

Sixth Grade Student Desirae Torres wanted to help and enjoyed working the event.

“I thought it would be a good opportunity help out the community,” she said. “The coolest toy so far today is the Magic Eight Ball.”

Seventh Grader Leilani Mendoza loves helping her peers.

“The toys, we have to give them away to charity, Toys for Tots,” she said. “It makes me happy.”

The event was an AVID class project, she said, and Mrs. Tillman is nice.

“She’s understanding,” she said. “I know from experience that assignments slip my mind sometimes, and she’s understanding.”

She doesn’t want any toys for Christmas and feels happier when she gives things.

“I love dinner on Christmas,” she said. “Turkey with all the fixings.”

Segovia and Caballero arrested by OPD On Nov. 18, 2018, at about 6:58 PM, an Oxnard Police Officer observed a stolen vehicle, a Blue 2016 Chevy Cruz, in the area of Douglas Ave and F Street. The car had been taken in a recent residential burglary during the early morning hours.

The vehicle initially evaded the officer and was found abandoned in the 400 block of Carty Drive.

Jose Segovia and Luis Caballero were walking away from the car.

Officers detained the suspects and ultimately arrested for the unlawful taking/driving of a motor vehicle (California Vehicle Code 10851), possession of stolen property (California Penal Code 496), and providing a false name to a peace officer (California Penal Code 148.9).

owner for between 3-5 years,” she said. “We understand there might be some other uses the city might want for that project and what our temporary use permit allows to do is secure that property for those future uses. Whether it’s a new water treatment plant or a park, our project compliments the general plan because we’re not talking about the area in the general plan. If you are familiar with it, that’s dedicated to being a park. Our project will create a buffer with nice landscaping to make that a nicer place if that be the city or community’s desire to set up an access area to the conservancy park.”

Decas said part of the plan includes native species plants landscaping around the site and removing invasive species that cause problems in the area to create beautiful landscaping.

“We’ve got an assessment on the site that indicates that there are no wetlands there, that was verified by another study that was selected by the consultants to verify and confirm our site,” she said. “What’s interesting

about the site is that it was once used for farmland, so what the owner does today is get out there with a tractor that ruts up the land, so what it does is create crevices for water potentially, but there is no evidence of wetland or wetland species on this particular site.”

The plan calls for a permeable surface that will stabilize the site, she said, allowing them to go in, drain and support the eco-system.

“The cargo is going to be brand new cars and many of them, as you know in today’s world, is going to be electric and hybrid,” he said. “Very clean vehicles with very little fuel are going to be parked on this site. There is going to be no opportunity for leakage and those issues you might have if you put a bunch of old cars on this site.”

She said they are working with the nature conservancy on lighting for the area that will preserve the habitat and make sure the site is secure.

“The benefit is we will have low impact lighting, and at the same time we will have 24/7 security, so you can

address some of the issues that have been challenging the community,” she said. “All new automobiles are not inspected by customs officials because they are pre-certified by a global program. This project is not going to increase any customs personnel into the area, and you will not see customs on the site ever.”

Glovis has a specific plan, she said, as they will bring cars from Korea onto the Navy base where they get trucked to various locations. The proposed project will bring them to one place.

“They're not going to have to load trucks and bring cars to these remote places, so it’s going to reduce vehicle miles traveled and take trucks off the road and clean our air,” she said.

“We’re looking at 30 plus jobs with this particular project and a $2.5 million payroll for those particular employees.”

She reminded the packed house the measure is temporary, and they are not putting an anchor in the ground.

“It’s until we can find a long-term

solution,” Decas said. “The jobs created are permanent, and although the project is temporary, we plan on moving somewhere else once we get off this site. We will beautify the site with its native species.”

Harbor Commission Mary Anne Rooney was glad to see so many people at the meeting and emphasized that it’s essential to have all the voices heard.

“We operate purely on the operating revenues that we bring in from the port, through the private companies that import and export," she said. "About 53 percent of this revenue is generated from automobile imports and exports, and 24 percent is generated by the fruit that we import and export. The Port of Hueneme had a record-breaking year in 2018, and more than 1.6 million tons of cargo came through, which is more than an eight percent increase over last year.”

During public comments, David Cruz said he loves the community and chose to be here with his family, but it pains him to see certain parts

of the community languish for years.

“If you drive on that road, I would ask you, when was the last time that you drove down Hueneme Road, he asked. “The chances are maybe not that many of us drive by there and that’s a problem. Unless we see this kind of investment and opportunity in a part of our community that sorely needs it I affirm everything I’ve heard everything I heard here.”

Caleb said he is 18-years-old and a lifelong resident of South Oxnard and has seen it go through change for better or worse.

He has created positive change through his work with CAUSE, (Central Coast Alliance for a Sustainable Economy and the port expansion would undo that.

“We kids need the money to pay for our lunches we can’t buy, or purchase other things like our asthma inhalers because of air-polluting diesel trucks driving through our neighborhoods in south Oxnard down Perkins Road and Hueneme Road," he said. "We don’t want another industrial wall invading our coast.”

NEWS Measure O saves Channel Islands Harbor study

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Part two of the water quality testing agreement approved by the Oxnard City Council during its Nov. 13, meeting picks up with Deputy City Attorney Ken Roselle telling the group that it can’t look to the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) for a decision about how to split the remediation cost.

The remediation would be necessary if there were problems in the harbor that would be split up.

Under this arrangement Seabridge would pay 40 percent, Westport would pay 20 percent, the City of Oxnard would pay 20 percent, and Ventura County would pay 20 percent.

“The key thing to remember, as laid out in both agreements, these allocation costs would only be triggered when there are remediation measures imposed,” he said. “They’re not to pay for those steps leading up to those remediation measures.

Until those city consultants have laid out what remediation measures are necessary, we cannot look to the MOU to provide a split on how the cost should be provided.” Public Works Director Rosemary Gaglione told the group when the city went out for the contract on the outfall that there are 38 counties in the state with certified labs that do the work.

“We reached out to 67 different firms to gauge their interest in participating and out of those, only 12 or 13 indicated they were interested in receiving the request from us,” she said. “Even though we sent them out, only one firm, Aquatic Bioassay and Consulting Laboratories responded, and they were deemed to be more than qualified to do the work.”

The city did follow up with some of the firms that were interested to find out why they didn’t respond, she said, and some of them noted Oxnard was too far away, while others lacked the staff to handle the project.

“Others did not have the equipment to handle the project, and others chose not to participate at this time,” she said. There was also a concern about the disparity between the hourly rates in the original contract and the amendment, Gaglione said, but there is no disparity as there are two separate contracts under one consultant.

“We could have written these as separate contracts, but we feel, and the city manager supports it, this is a more transparent way to do this,” she said. “Instead of having multiple small contracts with the same consultant, this allows the council and the public

to see the work that one is getting. " The work that measures the output is simple, she said, and monitored by the NPDS (National Pollutant Discharge System), and graded on a pass-fail system.

“They go out, take their samples, bring them back, and we get a report saying whether or not we passed,” she said. “This particular work calls for analyzing data from various resources and making some decisions about what other kinds of data we should look at.

It’s a different kind of work that requires the participation of more skilled scientists and technicians monitoring the outfall.” There is wiggle room in the contract which favors the city, and she wanted to be able to have enough flexibility to keep costs contained but also to remain flexible, so when things come up they can make decisions and not have to amend the contract.

“It does mean that city staff has to manage the contract to get the most cost benefit out of it, and that puts the responsibility on us,” she said. “This agreement keeps us from being locked into tasks that we determine are not necessary and we can turn our direction to things that are more important. If the first round of testing gives us our answers, then we don’t need to continue with certain other things, and we can move towards a decision point more quickly.”

The city is looking at grants, she said, as the one they have their eyes on is due by the end of December, but they need the data for the award.

During public comments, Carol Taylor said during a recent water quality control board hearing the chair offered the use of their labs to help mitigate costs to the city, and she wanted to know if that resource is being utilized.

“Also, at a recent council meeting, Councilwoman Ramirez said the degradation of water is a worldwide problem,” she said. “Is the city reaching out to outside resources, county, state, and federal agencies for assistance with this issue and is the city actively researching grants, more than one, for care and ongoing management of the issue?”

She said it’s inequitable for a small group of homeowners to bear the cost for the entire harbor when it benefits many other stakeholders.

Channel Islands Homeowners Association President Bill Clark said he represents Mandalay Bay and supports the study and finding the solution but rejects the recommendations about how it should be financed.

“Based on those recommendations, Mandalay Bay, which has only seen minor changes in its water quality is picking up two-thirds of the cost of this study,” he said. “We opposed the initial Seabridge project and one of

the main reasons why we opposed it was because we were worried about what was going to happen with the water quality.” Debbie Mitchell said she appreciates the work the city did on the project.

“I agree 100 percent to approve the testing in general,” she said.

“Without that data to determine what is going on; no grant money would be available, and no solutions will be definable without understanding what’s causing the water quality problem.”

Regardless, she doesn’t agree with the cost for zone 2’s waterway and agrees with Clark about how things came together.

“Businesses are working at this end of the harbor, forget the other end we can’t work with, whose livelihood depends on water quality and this being a visitor and customer serving venue,” she said.

Roselle said the MOU does not allow the city to seek reimbursement from the parties pursuant to the formula that was used and it’s for remediation, not the initial study.

“Several people asked why the county isn’t involved, and just this week the city sent a request to the county to pay for half the hydrology study,” he said. “We’ve already got a response from them, and they have not committed to it, but we have sent the bill to the county. Under the terms of the MOU, they are required to pay half the cost of updating the study, which is hydrology only. It does not include the nutrient study.”

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said the issue is crucial and wanted to know if they can ask businesses to pay money towards the study.

“That is certainly an approach we can take, but it’s a question of timing,” City Manager Alex Nguyen said. “I understand that most people appreciate why we want to move as far as collecting the data, and I also understand that nobody is going to be happy about paying for the data collection.”

The city needs the state and federal government’s involvement, he said, and there are various unfunded state mandates issued they have to scramble and deal with, like the homeless population explosion.

Nguyen holds the state responsible for a large piece of that cost.

“I’ve had conversations with the county about participating with this, it has not been fruitful yet, but I will continue to pursue that,” he said. “If the community is willing to roll the dice and wait, that’s the key here; we’re all up against what the weather may or may not do. We can make a decision tonight, and next week it doesn’t rain, or we can make a decision tonight, and next week it does rain.

He reiterated that if people are willing to wait and take on the state, they must understand there is a possibility there could be a fish kill

next summer or in three summers.

“If you’re willing to do that, but I’d also like everyone to commit to the emergency response planning that we are going to start in the new year and have everyone prepared if there is a fish die-off when it gets hot,” he said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said the issue is a classic case of how going to the districts could be dangerous to the health of the city.

“If we up here decided that the harbor is not my district and it doesn’t bother me or matter to me, think about what can happen,” she said. “I hope everybody has made a wise choice in who you decided to vote for and it looks like you have.

People care whether or not it’s in their district and I certainly do care.”

Councilman Bryan MacDonald pointed out the map that included a flood control panel that runs through the City of Port Hueneme that dumps into the southeast corner of Mandalay Bay. “We’re collecting all the street runoff from Port Hueneme, and I think the feeder to that is the watershed protection district that runs down Ventura Road to Channel Islands Blvd. and flows into Mandalay Bay,” he said. “I think we’re missing some pertinent stakeholders and potential issues of waterway quality within the system and potentially the City of Port Hueneme could be responsible.”

Councilman Bert Perello said if the city tries to chase all the people involved to help pay for the study it will take months, not days and it will probably be spring before everyone is on board.

“I believe the people up here know what they are talking about and I believe the consultants know what they are talking about, or we wouldn’t have hired them,” he said.

“We just had an issue in the closed session having to do with people who make mistakes and what happens. The bottom line is that somebody has to pay for the test.”

He said there is an opportunity for Measure O funding because it benefits the entire city.

“The homeowners need to understand, you five councilmen representing you and seven shortly,” he said. “If we don’t get the county attached at our hip and handcuffed in this matter, we’re going to be facing this alone.”

Mayor Tim Flynn said the discussion is proof the city needs to move to a robust committee system.

“Had this not been time sensitive it could have been vetted more properly over more time,” he said.

“We need to move forward with this contract, and the controversy is who pays for it?”

He proposed to Nguyen that Measure O pick up the contract.

“This is going to be a solution driven by science,” he said.

my collection, and once I got into high school, got my drivers license and became mobile, I started to go out collecting, and it’s been growing from there,” he said.

Ventura County has lots of fossils, he said, and the hills have mostly Miocene and picene.

“The Miocene is about 3 million to 5 million years old, and the picene goes from roughly 10,000 years to 3 million years,” he said.

Hagiwara said she got her start with jewelry, but the most beautiful diamonds, emeralds, and jewelry came from a rock and got polished.

“Growing up we’d pick up rocks and all of a sudden I realized I could collect these and have the things that are the base of all the wonderful jewels,” she said.

Another significant part of the show was the “Pebble Pups” which are junior members who are under 18 years old. The kids collect items and put them on display.

Pebble Pup Member Maxwell Casanave said he found a strange looking spiral rock in his yard, so he brought it to his dad.

“He said it was a snail shell, so I tried crushing it, but it wouldn’t crush,” he said. “It turned out that it was a fossil snail shell. I came here one time before I was a Pebble Pup and tried the spin to win and got these little calcite rocks and they are interesting rocks.”

He plans to study geology, the study of rocks, when he gets to college.

“Making all the nice field trips and learning about stuff is fun and educational,” he said about the Pebble Pups. “I like learning about history and rocks.”

Hagiwara pointed out some whalebone fossils and said they built a fort in Miami that’s one of the oldest forts in America.

“That’s what they made the fort from,” she said.

Larry Knapp had some rose quartz from the Sierra mountains about 7,000 feet in the air.

“It can be white pink, hot pink or a lavender color and polished into a sphere,” he said. “When you polish it, that brings out the color, patterns, and depth in the stone.”

As a young boy, Knapp said he grew up in the area, and his parents prospected.

“They had miner friends that would come by and hand me a tiny little piece of fool’s gold, and I said wow, look at this,” he said. “I’ve been around it most of my life and took geology courses at Oxnard College.”

Hagiwara said Knapp found the rose quartz on a field trip.

“He cut, polished and worked it,” she said.

Dog Daycare facility planned for El Rio neighborhood

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The City of Oxnard held a community workshop, Nov. 19, and tackled a myriad of topics that will shape the city as it moves forward.

Doug Spondello, the principal planner for the city, advised the capacity crowd the meeting is informational and a forum that gives residents an opportunity to ask questions and share thoughts about the matters under consideration.

“No decisions are made at this meeting,” he said. “The best way to find out and make contact with the decision makers is to indicate that you would like to be part of the agenda. When the planning commission and city council agendas go out, we can include you, so you know when to show up. The other way to communicate your feelings is to do so for the project planners.

The agenda has each project planner listed; they are very accessible, so you can call us or email us at any time and enter your thoughts into the record.”

Contract Planner Veronica OrtizDeAnda introduced the proposed dog daycare site at 481-491 Ventura Blvd. that will have a caretaker on site 24/7.

“This is to build a new dog training and boarding facility at the corner of Cortez St. and Ventura Blvd,” she said.

Business owner Nancy Barna told the crowd it’s her fourth dog daycare center and they are moving from Ventura on Bunsen Ave. , where the business has been for the past seven years. They are planning a move to Oxnard.

“I’m aware that at times it can be controversial to have dogs close to businesses or residential properties, but I want to assure you we’ve had zero complaints at our Bunsen location,” she said. “Next to us, we have a college that is close, 20 businesses and we have good relationships with all of those businesses. Every one of them gets our business cards, and if there is any disturbance or concern, they give us a call, and we take care of it right away. What we are trying to do is provide a service to the community that you currently don’t have.”

She called it a high quality indoor and outdoor facility with a lot of play space for the dogs. If a dog is excessively loud, the facility will bring them inside.

“For the most part, we allow the dogs to play in and out, and we have high cleanliness standards and value being good neighbors.

Ortiz-DeAnda said it’s an L-shaped lot at the corner and the building is proposed to face Ventura Blvd.

“It will be set back quite a distance because there is a flood zone,” she said. “There are some residences near the site and are part of the county jurisdiction. I have been in communication with Supervisor Zaragoza and let him know about this project and the meeting tonight, so the residents who live in the area can know what is going on.”

One attendee spoke and said Barna’s facilities are impeccably clean.

“I look forward to having them close to my home,” she said.

OPED

Kitty On the Outside or a Tree Frog On the Inside Dr. James L. Snyder I thought, which is a dangerous activity for me, that I had pulled one over on the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. It is a rare occasion when I actually do something like this.

At my age, I assume I could get away with something. I guess I am just not old enough.

Several weeks ago, I happened to look out the back window and saw a kitty walking across our back yard.

A little idea sneaked into my head.

Maybe I could get some kitty treats and feed the kitty.

It is not that my wife does not like kitties; she just does not like them on our property. No way she would ever, and I mean ever, condone some kitty living on our property. However, my thought was, what if she does not know?

I have always heard that what your wife doesn’t know can’t hurt you. So, I put together a very sneaky plan.

I went and got a dish for the kitty as well as a bag of kitty food. I really thought I could pull this off.

On the back porch, I put the dish and filled it with kitty food. I pushed it to the side so that you could not see it from the window. I am not an expert when it comes to sneaky, I’m still an amateur.

Later that evening I happened to look out the window and there it was. A tiger like kitty had found the dish and was feasting upon the food.

I knew I had to take things slow. I did not want to scare off the kitty.

I kept this up for several days, quite proud of myself that I was not caught yet. I thought there was a chance I wouldn’t get caught and I was living on that chance.

It was on a Thursday evening and I was looking out the porch door, watching the kitty eat when I heard somebody say, “What are you staring at?”

Immediately I recognized the voice and had to be very careful so that I did not trip up on anything.

“I’m just enjoying the backyard scenery. It looks so lovely in the evening shadows.”

I sighed very deeply hoping I had escaped being found out.

Eventually I was getting to the

point where I could open the door very carefully and the kitty would not get scared and run away. I was not able to pet it yet, but that was in my plans.

Then one night something else happened that pleased me deeply. A second kitty joined the back porch kitty diner. I really was ecstatic, but I had to keep myself calm because I did not want to give my secret away.

Around our house, keeping secrets does not really last long.

Everything was going fine until one night the kitty came to the porch glass door and started meowing. The knucklehead that I am, I meowed back.

At that precise moment, my wife happened to walk into the kitchen area where the glass porch door was.

She heard me meow and said, “There

better not be a kitty on our porch!”

Before I could respond, she came up to the door and there was the kitty meowing at her.

“I don’t want any old cat on our back porch.”

I wanted to reply, but I didn’t.

“I hope you’re not feeding it!”

Do I need to call a lawyer?

At that moment, she went up to the door to open it so that she could

shoo the cat away and there on the inside of the door was the biggest tree frog I have ever seen. When she saw that, she screamed, the kitty ran and the frog jumped inside our house.

It has been a long time since I have seen the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage dancing.

It was all I could do from laughing hysterically. I tried to control it, but you know how that works. The more I tried to restrain my laughter the louder it got.

Where is my cell phone when I need it?

She ran, got a broom, came back and swept the frog outside. I haven’t seen that frog since.

So, being in a sense of hilarious insanity, I said, and I almost regret saying it, “Which do you want? The kitty or the frog?”

She looked at me holding her broom in a very dangerous way and finally she broke down laughing.

Life is full of choices. Some of our choices are not of our choosing.

Sometimes it is choosing the better of the worse.

Since then we have had two kitties come to our back porch every evening to enjoy the kitty food that I put out there in the kitty dish. I have not seen the frog, but I sure have been thinking about that frog ever since.

“What are you smiling at?”

“Nothing, I’m just having a happy moment.”

“It better not have anything to do with that tree frog.”

Thinking about this I was reminded of what David said.

“Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple” (Psalm 65:4).

It is not important if you are a kitty or a frog only that God has chosen you. Live in that glory every day.

Lessons in Servant Leadership

By Marian Wright Edelman “The way through chaos, calamity, and confusion is not by adding chaos, calamity, and confusion. That multiplies what’s hurting us and undermining us. The Hebrew and Christian Bibles insist from the first chapter to the last chapter you cannot overcome evil with evil, you have to overcome evil with good. Depart from evil, do not be overcome by evil. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. A tooth for a tooth means that therefore soon everyone is toothless. You cannot bind up the wounds of people in our land by pouring sand into the wounds.”

“You cannot change wrong with wrong.”

—Reverend James Lawson, speaking at the Children’s Defense Fund This past week the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) was blessed with a visit from one of the greatest nonviolence practitioners in our nation and world, Rev. James Lawson.

He shared lessons in leadership with CDF staff from our greatest American prophet, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who called Rev. Lawson “the leading theorist and strategist of nonviolence in the world.” In some of the recent elections Americans once again reaffirmed their desperate hope for positive, principled leadership in times of chaos, calamity, and confusion. Rev. Lawson has long been an example of exactly this kind of leadership.

Rev. Lawson has been for me and countless others a peerless teacher, role model, and leader of nonviolent direct action. He guided Dr. King and thousands of young leaders of all races and ages seeking racial and economic justice. He is our living embodiment of effective social change and exemplifies and taught us Christ’s and Gandhi’s nonviolent values and strategies to combat our nation’s recurring birth defects of slavery, Native American genocide, exclusion of women

and non-propertied White men from our political and economic processes. And for 90 years he has been a singular and unwavering voice calling across generations for a nation and world where every child of God is welcomed, respected and empowered to realize their Godgiven potential.

Rev. Lawson is the son and grandson of Methodist ministers and received his own ministry license during his senior year of high school.

He was educated at Ohio’s BaldwinWallace College, Oberlin College and Vanderbilt Divinity School, but he was also schooled by the 13 months he served in federal prison after being arrested for refusing to enter the military when drafted— or in his words, refusing to “put on somebody’s military uniform for the purpose of using arms against other human beings.” It was in prison that he reread the writings of Gandhi and theologian Howard Thurman.

Afterwards he spent three years as a Methodist missionary in India, where he first read about Dr. King and the Montgomery Bus Boycott—a milestone in the movement brewing at home in the United States that he

would help lead.

Rev. Lawson and Dr. King met in person in 1957 after Rev. Lawson returned to the U.S. and was studying at Oberlin’s Graduate School of Theology. Dr. King urged him to come south to join the Civil Rights Movement, arguing that there was no other clergyperson with his experience and knowledge of nonviolence. Rev. Lawson replied that he had been thinking about it and would come as soon as his studies were complete, but Dr. King convinced him to come immediately.

In January of 1958 Rev. Lawson moved to Nashville to nurture, challenge and prepare the students of the Nashville movement, producing some of the great leaders of the national Civil Rights Movement including Congressman John Lewis.

Rev. Lawson served as Director of Nonviolent Education for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Rep. John Lewis later wrote: “Jim Lawson knew… that we were being trained for a war unlike any this nation had seen up to that time, a nonviolent struggle that would force this country to face its conscience. Lawson was arming us,

Jim Lawson knew… that we were being trained for a war unlike any this nation had seen up to that time, a nonviolent struggle that would force this country to face its conscience.

Rep. John Lewis preparing us, planting in us a sense of rightness and righteousness.”

He has never stopped doing that and our nation has never stopped needing him and benefiting from his unwavering nonviolent moral voice. Rev. Lawson continues to mentor and prepare communities for nonviolent struggle and direct action organizing. Movements start from the bottom up not from the top down and as Rev. Lawson said at CDF this

week, “There is no substitute for the community struggle.” He has been part of the movements for racial justice, reproductive choice, a living wage, the rights of hotel and other service industry workers, undocumented immigrants and those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender. He has worked across our nation with students, including the Dreamers who pushed for the DREAM Act to grant legal status to immigrant children. And he is a role model for me and generations of younger servant leaders as he continues to teach and preach and inspire at CDF’s Haley Farm, our training ground for servant leaders.

At another CDF meeting Rev. Lawson quoted this old beloved prayer: “Grant by Thy grace that we may not be found wanting in the hour of crisis when the battle is set. May we know on which side we ought to be. And when the day goes hard and cowards steal from the field and heroes fall around the standard, may our place be found where the fight is fiercest. If we faint, may we not be faithless. If we falter, may we not fall. And when we fall, may it be while loving you and our neighbors and facing the foes.” It remains a benediction for our times and for his remarkable life. I am so grateful for Jim Lawson’s example, stamina, extraordinary intellect and generosity of spirit to so many and am so glad to have him as friend, mentor and teacher. He has been God’s unwavering messenger of hope and justice for all of God’s children.

From a Digital Desert to an Entrepreneurial Hub

By Harry C. Alford & Kay DeBow The National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) has launched a prototype project that, if successful, will transform minority, lowincome and rural communities from forgotten places into entrepreneurial hubs of economic innovation. Our goal is to create communities with access to 5G technology, integrated into low-income housing, job training and access to telemedicine and social services. It will all be done with private sector resources.

If this prototype is successful, it will revolutionize economic development in these distressed areas.

We have narrowed the search for the city, we have political and church support. We have private sector developers who will bid on the project.

The vision is to organize a private sector prototype to transform low-income, minority and rural communities from forgotten places into entrepreneurial hubs of economic innovation by creating communities with access to 5G technology that is integrated into low-income housing, job training and access to telemedicine and social services.

There is an urgent need to enhance minority, low-income and rural communities. While these communities suffer from poor schools, low educational levels, high unemployment, drug abuse and many other problems, these problems can only get worse as automation and artificial intelligence further penetrate society. Moreover, recent studies indicate that in the next decade over 50% of the working population will work as “freelancers”.

To address the future these minority, low-income and rural communities need to develop a path that creates

jobs in their communities.

The top-down approach has failed after 65 years of government funding. How would a bottom-up approach work? The foundation of the prototype is to develop technology (cell towers and small cell 5G technology) and low-income housing in a community to provide the community jobs that have access to the world. The technology without people and workers is useless.

Housing without technology is just another housing project. It is the combination that provides a future to the community.

The prototype financing would be provided by the developers of the specific parts of the project. The primary form of financing for the

housing portion of the experiment would be the sale of federal lowincome housing tax credits, a small mortgage, and hopefully the donation of the land by the city. The cell towers would be financed by the attachments to the towers.

Generally, the combination of the proceeds from the sale of the tax credits along with the subsidized rents supports the entire cost of the housing. If the area is extremely poor, such as an area we are looking at in the Mississippi Delta as well as a few urban centers, there can be a 10% deficit that has to be filled with state housing tax credits, if available in the state, or by a foundation or cross-subsidy from the revenues of the cell towers.

Jobs would be created in the construction of the project, the longterm management of the housing units and with the addition of 5G technology the community would have the ability to create technology jobs and market their products to the world.

Without access to high-speed broadband, minority and lowincome communities will be permanently stuck in a wasteland which has few jobs, few skills, few employers and little access to education. Recent studies indicate that in the next decade over 50% of the U.S. working population will work as “freelancers”. To address the future these minority, low-income and rural communities need to

develop a path that helps them create jobs in their communities.

The technology without people and workers is useless. Housing without technology is just another housing project or Digital Desert. It is the combination that provides a future to the community.

These minority and lowincome communities do not have the money to build their own telecommunications infrastructure or housing. The federal government has talked about funding rural broadband for years but with little success. Now a bipartisan group of Senators is actively promoting the AIRWAVES Act to fund 5G technology in low-income and rural areas with revenues from the auctions that sell spectrum, the fruits of those very needed efforts are most likely years in the future. Minority and rural communities certainly do not have the time to wait for government funding. We must see if the private sector can do it now.

If the prototype project is successful, the NBCC will work with communities across the country that want to overcome impediments to success. Armed with an honest assessment of what they want to become NBCC will work with them to persuade those with resources to invest in their entrepreneurial vision.

Not possible? Well, every major social change starts with a different vision of the future.

It’s now time to apply creative thinking to transforming these forgotten people and communities into entrepreneurial hubs.

Mr. Alford is the Co-Founder, President & CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce.

predictions and was accurate.

“How does she (Cookie) do it, she is amazing,” the wizard exclaimed.

The wizard blew up a balloon, and Dorothy drew a creation on it.

“It’s Mr. Balloon Head,” she said.

The wizard hypnotized the balloon with his magic wand, and the balloon fell into a deep trance. William said it was entirely under his power.

“It will do whatever I tell him,” he said. “If I tell him (Mr. Balloon Head) to feel no pain, then I can take a needle and

plunge it all the way across his head and out the other side, and it will not pop.”

As the needle went through Mr. Balloon head, Dorothy grimaced.

“She is feeling the pain for,” the Wizard exclaimed. “If he had been awake, I couldn’t have done that.”

The wizard woke Mr. Balloon Head up, plunged the needle into it, and it popped.

“Remember, if you want to put needles in balloons, you’ve got to keep them hypnotized,” he said.

Youngster Abraham picked

a card, the four of diamonds, from a group of six cards but wasn’t sure why he did it and dropped it in a slot.

Cookie picked the four of diamonds, and the kids were amazed once again.

“Cookie is congratulating you, Abraham, and thinks you did a good job,” William the Wizard said about Cookie's barking.

After the show, Noemi Valdes said that Cookie’s psychic power led her to pick a card.

“I was a believer before I got here, but I am a stronger

My first illusion was a little tube, I would put three silks into it, blow on them, and they would all come out tied together, believer now,” she said.

Olive Valdes thought the show was impressive and said she was going to practice tricks on her brother Luca.

“I liked when he popped the balloon,” Luca and Olive said.

Kimberly Brown thought the show was terrific.

“I would like to see my dog next to Cookie and see who could answer the most questions,” Brown said. “I loved this. It was wonderful.”

Perron said he started performing magic full-time in 1981.

“My first illusion was a little tube, I would put three silks into it, blow on them, and they would all come out tied together,” he said. “It was a magic tube.”

Cookie joined the act one afternoon when Perron was at a bookstore in Whittier, he said, as the local beauty parlor for dogs was across the street.

He went to the bookstore

because it was poetry day, but he did have a magic trick available.

“They asked me to put Cookie in my lap, which I did, the poems were bad, and I started to doze off,” Perron said.

He asked if he could perform a trick and they called him up front but didn’t realize that Cookie was still in his arms.

“It popped into my head to introduce her as Cookie the Psychic Dog,” he said. “I did the trick where there is a heart, a number, and a value and it was the only one reversed, and it got a good response.”

That turned a light on in Perron’s head.

“Maybe I am onto something here,” he said. “I’ve been doing Cookie the Psychic dog ever since.”

Perron used to be a carpet cleaner until he stopped at the bank one day and learned about a church that was forming a group of clowns called the “Holy Fools” and since he had a big van, he offered to drive them around.

He joined the group as “Super Clown, the world’s only superhero clown.

One day he delivered a group of balloons to Chinatown and ran into a group of nice group of kids and decided that since he was in costume, he would do his magic tricks.

“My boss told me not ever

to do that again, I asked why not, and he said I could have charged them an extra $100,” he said. “I said the stupidest thing in my whole life and said people would pay me to do this?”

Assistant Joycelyne Lew played Dorothy and said being William’s assistant is a great job.

“Just imagine you can entertain people, make them laugh and go to parties,” she said. “We are always laughing and enjoy goofing around. You can’t even upset him.”

Joycelyn said Cookie needs grass to go to the bathroom.

“She loves chicken, that’s her favorite thing,” chicken,” Joycelyn said. “Cookie likes to be on my lap. We have this bond.”

Children’s Librarian Patty Rose wanted William the Magician for Halloween, but he was all booked.

“I was pleased with the turnout,” she said. “I loved seeing the expressions on the kids’ faces.”

She said the library has a lot more events coming.

“We have “Alice in Wonderland” coming up on Nov. 26,” she said. “It’s Lewis Carrol’s birthday, the author of Alice in Wonderland. We’re showing the Polar Express movie; we have a cookie decorating program plus a lot of things for adults and teens as well.”

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 or 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.

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.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

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

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

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 758 - 8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2018 9, 2018

LEGAL CA 91377 The sale will be held at: AT THE MAIN FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER HALL OF JUSTICE LOCATED AT 800 S. VICTORIA AVE., VENTURA, CA 93003 Per the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the estimated opening bid will be $376,301.91. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, the winning bidders with the exception of the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certified check or cashier's check made payable to the undersigned Foreclosure Commissioner. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $37,630.19. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $37,630.19 must be presented before the bidding is closed.

The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier's check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15 day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance.

The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier's check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must be otherwise cured. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ANY OUTSTANDING FEES, COSTS, AND INTEREST WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS. Tender of payment by certified or cashier's check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 12/12/2018 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 sec-

tion 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

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

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

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.

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-16-710418-RY.

located and more than three (3) months have elapsed since such recordation.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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 Trustee's Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 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 www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 17-01542. 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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 23, 2018

HEALTH

Smoke Spreading from California Fires Sparks Health Concerns

By Lindsey Tanner Smoke masks. Eye drops. No outdoor exercise. This is how Californians are trying to cope with wildfires choking the state, but experts say an increase in serious health problems may be almost inevitable for vulnerable residents as the disasters become more commonplace.

Research suggests children, the elderly and those with existing health problems are most at risk.

Short-term exposure to wildfire smoke can worsen existing asthma and lung disease, leading to emergency room treatment or hospitalization, studies have shown.

Increases in doctor visits or hospital treatment for respiratory infections, bronchitis and pneumonia in otherwise healthy people also have been found during and after wildfires.

Some studies also have found increases in ER visits for heart attacks and strokes in people with existing heart disease on heavy smoke days during previous California wildfires, echoing research on potential risks from urban air pollution.

For most healthy people, exposure to wildfire smoke is just an annoyance, causing burning eyes, scratchy throats or chest discomfort that all disappear when the smoke clears.

But doctors, scientists and public health officials are concerned that the changing face of wildfires will pose a much broader health hazard.

“Wildfire season used to be June to late September. Now it seems to be happening all year round. We need to be adapting to that,” Dr. Wayne Cascio, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cardiologist, said this week.

In an overview published earlier this year, Cascio wrote that the increasing frequency of large wildland fires, urban expansion

into wooded areas and an aging population are all increasing the number of people at risk for health problems from fires.

Wood smoke contains some of the same toxic chemicals as urban air pollution, along with tiny particles of vapor and soot 30 times thinner than a human hair. These can infiltrate the bloodstream, potentially causing inflammation and blood vessel damage even in healthy people, research on urban air pollution has shown. Studies have linked heart attacks and cancer with long-term exposure to air pollution.

Whether exposure to wildfire smoke carries the same risks is uncertain, and determining harm from smog versus wildfire smoke can be tricky, especially with wind-swept California wildfires spreading thick smoke hundreds of miles away into smoggy big cities.

“That is the big question,” said Dr. John Balmes, a University of California, San Francisco, professor of medicine who studies air pollution.

“Very little is known about the long-term effects of wildfire smoke because it's hard to study populations years after a wildfire,” Balmes said.

Decreased lung function has been found in healthy firefighters during fire season. They tend to recover but federal legislation signed this year will establish a U.S. registry tracking firefighters and potential risks for various cancers, including lung cancer. Some previous studies suggested a risk.

Balmes noted that increased lung cancer rates have been found in women in developing countries who spend every day cooking over wood fires.

That kind of extreme exposure doesn't typically happen with wildfires, but experts worry about the kinds of health damage that may emerge for firefighters and residents with these blazes occurring so often.

Whether that includes more cancer is unknown. “We're concerned about that,” Balmes said.

Regular folks breathing in all that smoke worry about the risks too.

Smoke from the fire that decimated the Northern California city of Paradise darkened skies this week in San Francisco, nearly 200 miles southwest, and the air smelled “like you were camping,” said Michael Northover, a contractor.

He and his 14-year-old son have first-time sinus infections that Northover blames on the smoke.

“We're all kind of feeling it,” Northover said.

The smoke was so thick in San Francisco, the skyline was barely visible from across the Bay. The city's iconic open-air cable cars that are popular with tourists were pulled off the streets Thursday because of the bad air.

An Environmental Protection Agency website said air quality in Sacramento was “hazardous”

Determining harm from smog versus wildfire smoke can be tricky, especially with wind-swept California wildfires spreading thick smoke hundreds of miles away into smoggy big cities.

Thursday and San Francisco's was “very unhealthy.” Many people walking around the cities wore face masks.

Most schools in San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland and Folsom said they would be closed Friday.

At least six universities in Northern California canceled classes Thursday.

At Chico State University, 11 miles (18 kilometers) from Paradise, ash fell this week and classes were canceled until after Thanksgiving.

“It's kind of freaky to see your whole town wearing air masks and trying to get out of smoke,” said freshman Mason West, 18. “You can see the particles. Obviously, it's probably not good to be breathing that stuff in.”

West returned home this week to Santa Rosa, hard hit by last year's wine country fires, only to find it shrouded in smoke from the Paradise fire 100 miles (160 kilometers) away.

West's family had to evacuate last year for a week, but their home was spared.

“It's as bad here as it was in Chico,” West said. “It almost feels like you just can't get away from it.”

Smoke has been so thick in Santa Rosa that researchers postponed a door-to-door survey there for a study of health effects of last year's fire.

“We didn't feel we could justify our volunteer interns going knocking on doors when all the air quality alerts were saying stay indoors,” said Irva Hertz-Picciotto, a public health researcher at the University of California, Davis. The study includes an online survey of households affected by last year's fire, with responses from about 6,000 people so far.

Preliminary data show widespread respiratory problems, eye irritations, anxiety, depression and sleep problems around the time of the fire and months later.

“Conventional thinking is that these effects related to fires are transient. It's not entirely clear that's the case,” Hertz-Picciotto said.

Researchers also will be analyzing cord blood and placentas collected from a few dozen women who were pregnant during the fire, seeking evidence of stress markers or exposure to smoke chemicals.

Meditation Helps Vets with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

By Carla K Johnson

Meditation worked as well as traditional therapy for military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder in a small experiment sponsored by the Department of Defense.

One method preferred by the Department of Veterans Affairs is exposure therapy, but it doesn't work for everyone and many can't handle what it requires: purposely recalling traumatic events and confronting emotions.

Meditation could be a better choice for some, the researchers said.

The experiment tested meditation against exposure therapy, which involves working with a therapist and gradually letting go of fears triggered by painful memories.

Many vets won't try exposure therapy or drop out because it's too difficult, said Thomas Rutledge, the study's senior author and a Veterans Affairs psychologist in San Diego.

Evidence for meditation “allows us to put more options on the table” with confidence they work, Rutledge said.

The study was published Thursday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry.

About 400,000 veterans had a PTSD diagnosis in 2013, according to the VA health system. The VA already is using meditation, yoga and similar approaches to supplement traditional therapy with PTSD, said Paula Schnurr, executive director of the VA's National Center for PTSD. While the three-month study adds to evidence supporting these

U.S. Fails to Weaken UN References to Sexual Health

By Edith M. Lederer lifestyle practices, Schnurr said, more research is needed to learn how long meditation's benefits last.

“There's no follow-up in this study,” Schnurr noted, and one therapist did 80 percent of the exposure therapy so the findings hinge largely on one therapist's skills.

Researchers measured symptoms in about 200 San Diego area veterans randomly assigned to one of three groups. Some learned to meditate.

Others got exposure therapy. The third group attended classes where they learned about nutrition and exercise.

All sessions were once a week for 90 minutes.

After three months, 61 percent of the meditation group improved on a standard PTSD assessment, compared to 42 percent of those who got exposure therapy and 32 percent of those who went to classes. When researchers accounted for other factors, meditation was better than the classes and equally effective as

exposure therapy.

The researchers defined success as at least a 10-point improvement in scores on a standard symptoms test, given to participants by people who did not know which kind of treatment they'd received. The test measures symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares and insomnia.

PTSD also can be treated with medications or other types of talk therapy. Many of the participants were taking prescribed medicine for PTSD. Most of the vets were men with combat-related trauma, so it's not clear whether meditation would be equally effective in women or with other types of trauma.

There's growing interest in meditation in the United States. A government survey last year found 14 percent of adults said they had recently meditated, up from 4 percent from a similar survey five years earlier.

UNITED NATIONS (AP)— The United States failed in an attempt to water down references to “sexual and reproductive health” in a U.N. resolution Thursday despite support from China and many Islamic countries.

The General Assembly's human rights committee defeated the U.S. attempt to amend the resolution aimed at preventing and ending early and forced child marriages by a vote of 33-96 with 35 abstentions.

Traditional U.S. allies including the European Union and Western nations opposed the Trump administration's amendment along with many African and Latin American countries.

The amendment would have weakened all references to “sexual and reproductive health” in the text by adding the words

“in accordance with national laws” immediately afterward.

Following the amendment's defeat, the committee adopted the resolution sponsored by Canada and Zambia by consensus. It is virtually certain to be approved by the 193-member assembly in December.

Kelley Currie, the deputy U.S. ambassador for economic and social affairs, introduced the lastminute amendment to what she called “controversial” language.

The reference to “sexual and reproductive health” was approved by nearly 190 countries at the 1994 U.N. population conference in Cairo. Its plan of action includes language stating that “reproductive health ... also includes sexual health, the purpose of which is the enhancement of life and personal relations, and not merely counseling and care related to reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases.”

Aretha Franklin's 'Amazing Grace' Film Finally in Theaters

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody NEW YORK (AP)—Three years ago, Alan Elliott was at the Telluride Film Festival, prepared to unveil the holy grail of musical works: A documentary on the making of Aretha Franklin's “Amazing Grace,” which had been lost to the archives until Elliott spent decades restoring it so it could finally be seen.

But then, through lawyers, he got word that the Queen of Soul herself was trying to prevent the film from being shown. Elliott's business partner, Tirrell Whittley, recalls the moment as “deflating.”

“It was disappointing. ... You try to figure out what is it that happened,” Whittley said.

But as determined as Elliott and Whittley were to get the documentary to the world, they decided not to fight Franklin.

“It would just be the wrong and the wrong spirit,” Whittley said, adding later: “In talking to Alan, it was really around patience and saying, ‘You know what? God may not have meant it right now. And that's OK. Let's just be patient. When God says it's the right time it will be the right time, not just for us but for her, for her family, for her legacy.”'

That time has arrived, three months after Franklin's death from pancreatic cancer, with the blessing of her family. And while there are parts of “Amazing Grace” that are rough, from a few off-kilter camera angles to choppy editing, it's a profound, brilliant display of one of the world's greatest singers performing in her element—the church.

“It's the most important document of American popular music ever filmed,” said Elliott. “It's completely

unique to any other experience that I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them.”

The album “Amazing Grace” is one of the seminal albums in not only Franklin's discography, but the canon of American pop music. Franklin, then 29 and at the height of her fame, recorded the album in a Los Angeles church in 1972, with a full choir and an audience that included Mick Jagger, over two nights. Legendary gospel star James Cleveland directed the choir.

Franklin's famed father, the Rev. CL Franklin, spoke at the pulpit in praise of his daughter while the revered gospel star Clara Ward sat in the front row.

Warner Brothers Films contracted Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack to helm the movie, with hopes it could be as popular as the concert film of Woodstock.

But Pollack made critical errors, including not utilizing a machine to sync the audio to the visuals. With

such problems, the film was written “I honestly don't know what her off by the movie studio. While the concerns were,” said Owens. “We album would go double platinum never really discussed her business and become one of best-selling ...I do know for a fact that she did gospel album of all time, the film was love the movie.” forgotten—but not by everyone.

Elliott suspects it may have been Jerry Wexler, the renowned frustration at the poor handling of Atlantic Records producer who the project. helmed many of “I'm sure she was Franklin's greatest upset that Warner hits, told Elliott— Films couldn't finish his protege, a thenthe movie in the way 25-year-old music This film, it's that she was expecting executive—about his it to be done and hopes to one day get going to take you that was probably the film to screen, to church. something that stuck and it would become with her,” he said.

Elliott's “passion Elliott spoke to Vaughn Franklin project” for two Franklin about the decades. project only once— According to Sabrina Owens, and very briefly. Elliott went to a Franklin's niece, the legend spoke concert of Franklin's and afterward about her love for the film. But by waited backstage for the Queen of the time Elliott and Whittley were Soul to beckon him, and when she ready to release it, Franklin wasn't did, he nervously talked about the ready for the world to see it. film project he had embarked on

with Wexler.

“And she said, ‘Yes we'll be talking.' And she walked away.”

He never spoke to her after that, but kept in touch with her family over the years, particularly Owens, to give her updates on the project. After the Telluride injunction, Elliott reached out again, and Owens explained her aunt was ill. That revelation reinforced Elliott's approach to be patient; he had hoped a recovered Franklin would be involved in the project at some point.

“There was no place to have her be a part of the movie while she was not doing well,” he said. “We didn't know how sick she was, and we didn't know how long she had been ill.”

Owens invited Elliott to Franklin's funeral, and a few weeks later, Elliott screened the film for about 60 members of her family. The reaction was immediate and effusive, and soon afterward, the family agreed to the film's release.

“It was just interesting seeing her at that age and her voice was crystal clear, and she just sang her heart and soul out, and almost every song makes you cry or makes you feel some kind of way just like all the rest of her music,” Owens said. “So it was it was wonderful. I loved the performance.”

“Amazing Grace” does not yet have a distributor, but Whittley and Elliott are showing it in New York and Los Angeles to give it a push during Oscar season in hopes it could garner a nomination for best documentary, and it has received resplendent praise since its release.

“This film, it's going to take you to church,” said Franklin's nephew Vaughn Franklin.” You know, I expect to see people up on their feet, tears coming down and holding hands and laughing and joking ... the whole gamut of emotions I think is going to come out there.”

FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN TOP NETWORK EXECUTIVE EXITING ABC

By Lynn Elber LOS ANGELES (AP)— ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey, who created a deep bench of ethnic diversity in the network's shows and fired Roseanne Barr for a racist tweet, will be stepping down.

Her decision announced Friday comes amid ABC corporate parent Walt Disney Co.'s pending acquisition of 21st Century Fox and the planned reorganization of Disney's television units.

Dungey, who became the first African-American programming chief for a major broadcast network when she was named to the job in February 2016, will be replaced by Karey Burke, head of programming development at ABC sibling cable channel Freeform since 2014, the network said.

Dungey will remain during a transition period as Burke takes over.

Burke's resume includes overseeing production of NBC prime-time series including “ER” and “The West Wing” from 1999 to 2003, during which time she developed “Scrubs,” “Freaks & Geeks” and other shows.

In a statement, Dungey said she could have called ABC home for many more years but wants to tackle new, unspecified challenges.

Under Dungey, both as president and in her previous

job as head of ABC's drama development, the network became the home of “Scandal,” “How to Get Away With Murder”

and other multiethnic shows from powerhouse AfricanAmerican producer Shonda Rhimes.

But Rhimes, whose shows own ABC's Thursday primetime schedule, and another prominent producer, Kenya Barris of the network's sitcom “black-ish,” have both jumped ship for lucrative streaming deals.

More recently, Dungey made news for her quick action in canning Barr from her revived namesake show “Roseanne” after the actress-comedian posted an insulting tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, who is African-American. Barr apologized, but the show, which had been an immediate success for ABC, was revamped without her and debuted this fall as “The Conners.”

In October, Disney said it was bringing in Fox executive Dana Walden as chairman of Disney Television Studios and ABC Entertainment.

Burke will report to Walden after the Fox acquisition is completed, with Burke's replacement at Freeform to be announced, ABC said.

In a statement, Disney CEO Bob Iger lauded Dungey for her “curiosity, passion and creativity” and predicted she will be successful at whatever she chooses to pursue.

Burke, a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, said she was honored to continue Dungey's legacy of “excellent storytelling that touches so many people's hearts.”

Kim Porter, Diddy's Former Longtime Girlfriend, Dies at 47 LOS ANGELES (AP)—Kim Porter, Diddy's former longtime girlfriend and the mother of three of his children, has died at age 47, authorities said.

Porter was found unresponsive last Thursday at her Los Angeles home, where paramedics pronounced her dead. The cause was not immediately clear, and an autopsy will be performed, the LA County coroner's office said.

Sean “Diddy” Combs and Porter, a former model and occasional actress from Georgia, were a couple on-and-off from 1994 until they split for good in 2007.

Their children are a 20-year-old son, Christian, and 11-year-old twin daughters, D'Lila Star and Jessie James. Combs also has three other children from other relationships.

Porter also has a 27-year-old son who was largely raised with Diddy, Quincy Brown, from a previous relationship with singer Al B. Sure.

Brown, an actor, appears on the Fox series “Star” and has had a handful of other TV and film roles.

As an actress, Porter appeared on the TV series “Wicked Wicked Games” in 2006 and 2007 and in the film “Mama I Want to Sing” in 2011.
