IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Oxnard-- The City of Oxnard rang in the holiday season grandly, Nov. 30, as the tree lighting ceremony in Plaza Park was a ray of sunshine on a chilly California evening.

HE crowd took on a holiday spirit as the event had children singing, cameras flashing and special guest Santa Claus arriving on his sleigh.

The event featured lots of children, dignitaries welcoming the season and the tallest Christmas tree in Ventura County with a brand-new star perched on top.

Pablo Ortiz from the Oxnard Downtowners opened the celebration and wished everyone a Merry Christmas from the bottom of his heart.

“One of the things I love about downtown Oxnard and why I

have been so involved for 25 years is all of you,” he said to the crowd.

“You make Oxnard special.”

The children are the future in Oxnard, he said, and one example of the future was the students from Cesar Chavez school that performed holiday songs.

Patricia Garcia brought her granddaughter to the celebration, which is a family tradition.

“Sometimes we participate and volunteer, but this is my first year coming out and enjoying everything, she said. “The tree is great, the pagoda, they always put on a great show.”

Daughter Brittany Alonzo and her daughter Scarlet had a great time and loves being with her family.

“We come every year,” Brittany said.

The group had a big laugh when asked if Brittany was good this year.

“She comes here to plead with Santa,” Garcia said.

Scarlet said she wanted a toy house for Christmas. n Rings, see page 2

City approves backup generators for pump station

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The Oxnard City Council took steps to improve its wastewater treatment system at its Dec. 4, meeting and approved purchase order 7122 for two permanent heavy-duty diesel standby generators for $276,047 and approximately $64,000 from the wastewater treatment fund for two standby generators at the Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant Interstage Pump Station.

According to city documents, the wastewater treatment plant has experienced three treatment violations due to primary bypass events.

A primary bypass event is where primary treated wastewater commingles with secondary treatment wastewater before discharging into the Pacific Ocean via a mile-long ocean outfall pipeline.

Assistant Public Works Director Thien Ng told the council when wastewater starts in the preliminary treatment, called the headworks, the city needs to pump it to the primary treatment.

“After the primary treatment it flows into an interstage pump station, so it can be uplifted to secondary treatment, which is a biological treatment,” he said. “After that treatment, it will go to the F1 out treatments before it goes to the ocean outfall."

The city did an assessment evaluation through the utility task force, he said, to establish the city’s vulnerability and how can they fix it if necessary.

“These stations need additional backup power because the current generator is not reliable,” Thien said.

During public comments, Pat Brown said the city needs to get the word out to the city’s residents.

“I keep hearing comments when I am out in public from residents in Oxnard as well as residents from other parts of Ventura County.

They don’t understand what’s going on here,” she said. “They are concerned about the amount of money we've had to put together, and the city has had some financial problems with the wastewater.”

Woodrow Thomas Senior said he knows the city needs to replace the generators.

“Years back, I burned my eyes tuning up a backup generator,” he said. “If you don’t have a generator in place in case of emergency you can be assured it’s going to be a long time before the power is back up and it will be disastrous, especially if you’re in a hospital and you don’t have a backup generator.”

Ng said the city recently had an open bid for repair projects and the city is currently doing bid evaluations.

“In a few weeks we’ll be coming back and requesting that council award the bid project,” he said. “The two new generators are going to be for 24 months each. The only backup in the Interstage pump stations is only back up to that and doesn’t go through the existing switchgear.”

The city will salvage the old generators, he said, but not right away.

“We still need to use them,” he said. “We disconnected the old generators’ power. We’ll do the bigger projects when we no longer need the old generators to power the plant. We’ll retire them and salvage them.”

Assistant City Manager Jesus Nava emphasized the current backup generators are diesel powered locomotive generators from the Vietnam era.

“The time has come to replace them,” he said.

Mayor Tim Flynn said the generators are some of the oldest equipment the city has.

“There are those who think we can just keep on using them forever and they’re going to be free,” he said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said when the military surpluses an item out they are tired of fixing it and can’t get parts for it any longer.

“It’s time to do the right thing and get some new stuff,” he said.

OPD remembers Detective Jim O’Brien Dec. 2, marked the 25th anniversary of the death of Detective James E. O’Brien. Jim was tragically shot and killed during a vehicle pursuit following a shooting rampage at the EDD office in Oxnard. Jim, or “OB” as he was widely known, was a well-respected and dedicated officer who had a reputation as a “cop’s cop.”

You don’t have to look any further than the day of his death to realize his dedication to the City of Oxnard and our profession. When the call went out of a shooting incident at the EDD office, Jim responded without hesitation. What makes his response unique is he was on his day off. Jim had stopped by the station to take care of a few things, and without regard for his safety, he immediately responded.

Jim was well known for his abilities as a “street cop.” He was assigned to the Investigative Services Bureau, investigating gang and tagger related graffiti crimes. Not only respected by his fellow officers, but Jim also gained the respect of those he investigated and arrested. He was an accomplished athlete, who excelled at karate and boxing, and frequently brought home gold medals while competing in the California Police Olympics. He was previously awarded the Medal of Valor for rescuing a citizen during a shootout in the Colonia neighborhood. Jim had been a member of the Oxnard Police Department for nine years, having previously served with the Ventura County Sheriff ’s Office and the Port Hueneme Police Department. He is survived by his wife, Leslie, son Sean, and daughter Katie.

Please take a moment out of your day to remember this hero and reflect on the ultimate sacrifice he made. As is tradition, the OPOA has arranged for a floral arrangement to be placed at his final resting place. If you would like to pay your respects in person, Jim is buried at the Santa Clara Cemetery, 2370 N. “H” Street in Oxnard, Section B, Tier #24, Grave #56.

Oxnard Christmas Parade brings the city together

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— A vast portion of Oxnard’s residents filled downtown beaming with the holiday spirit, Dec. 1, as the annual Christmas Parade featured bands, civic groups, elected officials, superheroes and lots of children looking to spread some cheer.

Residents lined the streets and overflowed into Plaza Park, to segue into the Tamale Festival and enjoy a good lunch. Vendors lined the park and shopping was part of the day.

Highlighting the parade was the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center (the PACC) which is celebrating its 50th anniversary season. The venue was the parade's Grand Marshall.

“We were all blown away and deeply humbled to be nominated as this year's Grand Marshall,” PACC Event Coordinator Carolyn Mullin said. “As Gary Blum explained in his nomination of us, The PACC has been an important institution here in Oxnard for 50 years. Our residents’ companies, like O'MY Theater and The New West Symphony, have made such a lasting cultural impact. And more recently, we've been excited to create new partnerships in the community, like with Cruiser's Car Club in producing our first car show. It was rewarding - and fun!

- to share this with parade-goers.”

Councilman Oscar Madrigal had a great time at the parade and thanked all the people who attended.

Olaf got into the act at the parade and made people laugh.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald echoed Madrigal’s comments about the parade and praised all the people who came out for the tree lighting.

“It was great to see all the people there,” he said.

“I want my kids to be healthy and happy,” Garcia said. “We make tamales every year (for Christmas dinner) we also have turkey, but mainly tamales. We’re also in the Christmas Parade, so we have to be here tomorrow (Dec. 1) at 8 a.m., and we are walking with our school, Thurgood Marshall.”

Armando Molano said the tree lighting ceremony is cool.

“The tree is the symbol of Oxnard,” he said. “I want a car for Christmas, a 1964 Chevy Impala.”

Angela Whitecomb was all decked out in a “Bah Humbug” hat she got from her daughter and brought her dogs to the party.

“We live on Christmas Tree Lane, and I told my daughter she had to get the lights down, and she said bah humbug,” she said while pointing to her hat.

She likes seeing the kids’ faces light up when the magic comes alive. “All the kids rush up when they see the float, seeing the dancers with their magic fairy wings, it a great event,” she said.

“It’s nice to see the community get together like this.”

She recalled 12 years ago when about 50 people showed up for the tree lighting ceremony.

“Watching it grow and get better every year is a joy,” she said. “I want a healthy family for Christmas. My in-laws lost their home in the Paradise fire, so I’m happy I have my people. The fire changes your perspective. I feel blessed that we didn’t lose anybody and we have a happy and healthy family.”

She planned on a big Christmas dinner.

“It’s going to be huge,” she said.

“Pork roast, stuffing, pudding and whatever else the kids tell me to make.”

NEWS Doggin’ Around looks forward to Oxnard move

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Ventura—Things are happening at Doggin’ Around, as the daycare facility for your furry friends is planning on a new home in Oxnard in 2019 at 481-491 Ventura Road.

The business is a praise-centered respite that one happy parent referred to as the "Disneyland for dogs."

Business Partner Jennifer Greiman said the business had a good run in Ventura, but they’ve outgrown their location.

“Our landlord, Michael, has some plans here, so it’s time to find a new home, and we found our home in Oxnard,” she said. “We are going to get a lot of that area cleaned up, and it will be a state of the art the facility right off the freeway. There are a lot of new businesses going in there, so I think it’s going to be nice.”

Oxnard is open to growth, she said, and when you combine that with the “beautiful location” selected for the new facility, the choice was a slam dunk for the business.

“I love what is going on in Oxnard with The Collection and all the development going on,” she said. “We're getting in at the beginning, and I love that feeling.

I live in Camarillo and don’t come to Ventura to shop. I go to Oxnard now. There are a lot of new and happening things there.”

With that said, Greiman said Doggin’ Around has been great neighbors at its current location for the last seven years and has received no complaints.

“That’s rare, especially with the business that we do,” she said. “The beauty of this is we are going to be able to move into a brand-new facility. We are building from the ground up. Hopefully, we will be able to move into a turn-key facility, so our dogs are going to finish one day with us (in Ventura) and start over there (in Oxnard) on another day.”

That means having all the dog pens up and running, she said, along with fencing improvements and making sure the staff is ready for the change.

“We already have about 45-65 dogs a day that comes and play,” she said.

Doggin’ Around offers all dog services, Greiman said, and do overnight stays, plus grooming and training, in addition to daycare.

“We have full-service grooming at our location and also at our Dog House in Ventura,” she said. “We have two wonderful groomers who

can do that for you if you ever want to give us a try.”

First-time clients at Doggin’ Around start by spending four hours at the facility, she said, so your furry friend can meet all the new people and dogs they will interact with. Size, temperament, and play styles separate dogs.

“We can accommodate that here with different areas,” she said.

“They start their day off outside getting the potty issues out of the way, we see what mood they’re in, and a lot of them come all the time.

It’s kind of like daycare at school in the playground.”

From there, she said they place the dogs where they fit in best and the canines play with balls, tug toys, lazars, water play and all different types of activities.

“We rotate them in every two to three hours, so they get some outside attention,” she said. “Inside, we do a lot of recall names and dogs

know if I call them, they are going to come. I don’t plan a scheduled nap time, some locations do, and that’s fine, but if a dog is tired, they are going to lay down for a little bit.”

Clients can also schedule a departing bath if they don’t come all the time, she said, so when the dogs leave, they are clean.

“Some dogs bring lunch, and they will be pulled out and given lunchtime and reintroduced to their group about 45 minutes later,” she said.

Greiman said Doggin’ Around prides itself on taking care of the dog’s environment and if a dog has a hard time they get taken inside.

“There is barking, and there is excessive barking that I am not going to have,” she said. “If that happens, I am going to call mom and dad and say Fido is having a bad day today and they’re going to have to be picked up. They could be barking, maybe they are having

some dietary issues that I can’t handle, but to me, they are having a bad day.”

People don’t need to wait for the grand opening in Oxnard to try out Doggin' Around, she said, and dog owners from Oxnard can drop their pets off now and check it out.

“I plan to bring my whole staff with us to Oxnard," she said. "I am sure there will be a transition, but if someone is new and they want to come to give us a try, we do an assessment which is a complimentary service to see if it’s a good fit not just for us, but also for you guys. There are a lot of new pet owners out there, and we do that for free. I plan on doing that until we open."

Doggin' Around also features to set pick up or drop off times, which is another benefit for the parent.

Oxnard-- During the Oxnard City Council’s city manager’s report Dec. 4, Alex Nguyen announced to the crowd that Interim Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden had been appointed to the position full time and he dropped the interim title, effective the week of Dec. 3.

Nguyen said the move is the first of many to come in the weeks and months ahead, as the city is short-handed in its executive ranks.

“We’re short across the board, but from my perspective, in terms of having executive management, we have five vacancies,” he said. “As I work to build out the broader team, I also have to build out my core team in the city manager’s office, so I am fortunate to find Miss Golden here in Oxnard. She is somebody that I would have hired had she been through a competitive process.”

Nguyen said Golden has 18 years of municipal government experience with many of them being in the City of Oxnard.

“Of all the great qualities, skills and talent she brings, something that matters most to me is that she is committed to good government, open government and due process,” Nguyen said. “She also has the confidence of our staff across the board, the residents and business leaders.”

Golden said she is excited about the opportunity and after being the Interim Assistant City Manager for the past 11 months, she was glad to work into the position.

“I have been with the city for 15 years, and although it’s trying on certain days; I want to come to work here every single day,” she said. “I love this community; I love the staff that we have, and I love the challenges ahead of us.”

She said everyone on the staff knows how important family is to her and there is not a day that she feels bad n Golden, see page 6

Dance For a Cause Recital benefits children

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard— The Oxnard PAL (Police Athletic League) had a packed house, Nov. 30, as the Dance For a Cause Recital meant inspired youths showing off their skills for the appreciative crowd.

The event, sponsored by the Alias Dance Family and the Oxnard Pal, was a benefit for low-income families so children would have a Merry Christmas.

PAL Director Terrel Harrison said all the kids who practice at the facility, plus others from around the area, work together to make the evening special.

“Every dollar and toy that comes in is going to go to needy kids in the City of Oxnard,” he said. “The money goes toward the Oxnard Police Activities League nonprofit, and we purchase toys, and we’re going

to have a Santa’s Workshop in two weeks. The kids are going to be able to do arts and crafts, make cookies, and 1,200 lucky boys and girls are going to walk away with toys that

day, as well as see Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus.”

He said the recital is an opportunity for parents to see the hard work the children put in while

they are at the PAL. “They are also supporting a good cause in the City of Oxnard,” he said.

“This is what we believe in. It’s about our community. I love watching the kids’ talent and the joy that shows on their faces from watching everybody watch them perform.”

Youngsters Chanielle Jose and Sylvester Reyes were featured dancers and put on a tremendous show that got the crowd cheering.

“We worked out the routine around midnight,” Sylvester said. “It was a lot of work. It may seem like it was easy, but we put our focus in and got it done.”

Chanielle said the duo has been dancing on-and-off for approximately 12 years.

“We met through Alias,” Sylvester said. “Byron Bucao had a video shoot with dancers from Los Angeles, and we met because he contacted both of us to be part of the group.”

Chanielle said the Oxnard PAL is a safe place for kids.

“They have some place to go, and this was home at one point,” she said.

Sylvester and Chanielle agree they want to dance for as long as they can.

“We’ll dance and train kids until they can replace us and have our vision of what we would like to see in the community,” Sylvester said.

“Byron opened up a big home for dancers in the city and was a part of their growth, although a lot of them don’t give him credit.”

Serina Sanchez wowed the crowd with her robot moves on the dance floor, which is her inspiration.

“Popping inspired me, so I mix silent dancing with robotic movements, and I form it into my style,” she said. “It takes a lot of practice, but I’ve been doing it since I was 16 years old, so it’s been eight years.” n Cause, see page 6

OPED Dear America: Adoption Is a Great Option

By Nsenga K. Burton, Ph.D. November was National Adoption Awareness Month, which came about as an effort to encourage families to consider adopting children in the foster care system.

First introduced in 1976 by then Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis as National Adoption Week, who wanted to help find forever homes for the massive number of children in foster care.

Former President Gerald Ford made the initiative a proclamation due to the large number of states participating in the week. Thus, the month of November which is usually associated with Thanksgiving – a time for families to come together over food, fellowship and football — was proclaimed as National Adoption Month in 1990 by then President George H.W. Bush.

Adoption is a great option for all families, especially AfricanAmerican families who typically “take in” children as a regular practice. The informal practice of “adopting” children began in the United States when black families were often destroyed by the system and practice of slavery. Slaves were sold and traded, so families were broken up, leaving children behind in need of care.

Following slavery, Jim Crow and other national segregation policies discriminated against blacks, denying them adoption services afforded whites by adoption agencies and institutions, resulting in many black children in need of guardianship.

According to The Adoption History Project at the University of Oregon, “In some states with large African-American populations, such as Florida and Louisiana, not a single African-American child was placed for adoption by an agency for many years running as recently as the 1940s.”

The practice of caring for children that may not have been biologically related, was prevalent and continues today. Nearly 23% of AfricanAmerican children are being raised by a grandparent due to a number of socio-political and -economic issues

(mass incarceration, health issues, divorce, unemployment).

Black folks step up when our children need us and many children we may not know need us now.

There are 428,000 children in foster care in the United States and more than half of them are children

of color. Half of the children are African-American, most of them are boys and a quarter of the children are over age six. These are the children who are in foster care long-term.

In 2015, 670,000 children spent time in foster care and that number is growing. If we consider the number

of black children available for adoption through private agencies, then It is clear that the agencies are teeming with black children that need good homes. Black and brown children are the least likely to be adopted and disproportionately age out of the foster care system. Thus, it

is imperative that black people, who have a history of informal adoption practices, consider adopting children as an option.

As an adoptive parent from a family with a history of adoption on both sides, I often say if you have a lot of love, are financially and emotionally stable and have good sense, then adoption is for you.

When I was in the process of adopting, I heard terrible things from so-called friends, “You don’t know what you’re getting,” and “Adopted kids are messed up,” or “Adopted kids have a hard time bonding with their families.” My response was always, “The prisons are full of people who know their parents,” and “As an educator, many are messed up and it isn’t because they’re adopted,” or “Adopted children aren’t the only children who have a hard time bonding with their parents.”

This false idea that if you have biological children, then you won’t have any problems is not only ridiculous but disingenuous.

Adopted children are children in need of unconditional love, guidance, commitment and stability and if you have it to give, then why not?

I can honestly say adopting my daughter was the best decision I have ever made. I consider it a privilege to be her mother and she has added so much value to my life, that I cannot imagine my life without her in it.

I look forward to helping to guide her, encouraging her to follow her dreams and helping her reach her goals while becoming a thoughtful, decent and productive human being.

Who better than black folk with our history of informal adoption practices and remarkable resiliency in the face of continuous adversity, to give a black child a greater chance at a decent life?

Which leads me back to my original point. Adoption is a great option for black folk. It can be difficult and is unnecessarily complicated, but it is absolutely worth it.

OPED A New Moral and Human Low

By Marian Edelman Wright It has come to this: tear-gassing toddlers. Heartbreaking images of the American government’s attacks on asylum-seekers at the border have emerged over the past several days.

In one photo a barefoot child in a diaper sobs, clutching her mother with one hand and a plastic ball—a lone prized possession—with the other. Her mother, who was pictured in a second photo desperately trying to flee from the tear gas with her two young children, told an interviewer: “I felt sad, I was scared. I wanted to cry. That’s when I grabbed my daughters and ran. I thought my kids were going to die with me because of the gas we inhaled.”

When I saw those pictures I was instantly transported back to Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, to segregationist police chief Bull Connor’s use of vicious police dogs and powerful firehoses to attack Black children marching for their freedom. I often say that I do this work because I don’t want my grandchildren fighting the same fights we did back then. And yet here we find ourselves, with my grandchildren and young people across the country witnessing our government attacking small children for daring to dream of a better life.

President Trump and Administration officials act as if gassing babies at the border is business as usual, just as they did when the public cried out about our government ripping children from the arms of their parents and putting them in indefinite detention in cages and tent cities. But nothing about this is “usual,” and we must not allow ourselves to become inured to cruelty and injustice. This is not who we should be as a nation. We must continue to come together, speak out at every turn and take a stand against the outrageous atrocities being committed by President Trump under the guise of keeping Americans “safe.”

The Children’s Defense Fund is working at the heart of this issue.

When too few were paying attention to the incarceration of asylumseeking women and children in harmful for-profit detention centers, our Texas office fought to stop these detention centers from receiving state-issued child care licenses that would have allowed more children to

be incarcerated there for even longer periods of time. CDF-Texas was one of the first organizations to report the shameful practice of separating children and babies from their parents on the border. Next weekend, our Texas office will hold a vigil to protest the most recent attacks on asylum seekers. A Texas resident who recently attended a CDF-led rally said. “I am happy so many are committed to peaceful protest. I know we will continue to rally, write our representatives and speak out until all families are reunited, people seeking asylum are not turned away at our borders, people detained are given due process & immigrant is not a pejorative…This country was built by immigrants. Our diversity is what makes us strong. Do not give up.”

We must never ever give up, and we must keep fighting these evil acts. This administration’s attacks aren’t limited to small children and families outside our borders; they are taking action to harm immigrant families already in America, too.

The administration has proposed changes to the “public charge” rule that have the potential to plunge millions of children and their immigrant families into poverty,

hunger, and homelessness. When parents and other adults apply for lawful permanent residency or entry into the United States immigration officials currently consider whether that person is, or is likely to become, reliant on the government, or a “public charge.” The longstanding federal policy is to consider whether an individual will rely on the government by examining whether he or she receives cash assistance or will need long-term care benefits.

But the change proposed by the Trump administration would allow immigration officials to deny green cards and visas to a much broader group of immigrants who use public benefits including non-emergency Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), housing assistance, and the Medicare Part D low-income subsidy.

With this change, the Department threatens to shut down legal paths to citizenship for families that use these safety net programs—including those to which they are legally entitled—to feed their children, put a roof over their heads and keep them healthy. Even people who haven’t used these programs in the past can

When I saw those pictures I was instantly transported back to Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, to segregationist police chief Bull Connor’s use of vicious police dogs and powerful firehoses to attack Black children marching for their freedom. be denied a green card or visa if there is a suspected risk they are “likely” to use them in the future. Nearly 1 in 4 children in America has at least one immigrant parent, and nearly 90 percent of those children are citizens.

By making legal use of safety net programs one of several new heavily weighted factors in determining whether an individual qualifies as a public charge, millions of immigrants

will be subject to this expanded definition of public charge, which is likely to cause both immigrants and their children to forego crucial food assistance, health coverage, and safe housing for fear of the consequences.

But there is a light in all this darkness: the government is required by law to review public comments on these proposed changes and there is still time to make your voice heard. Comments must be submitted by Monday, December 10.

To take a stand against this attack on immigrant families and children go to https://protectingimmigrantfamilies. org/#take-action and submit a comment opposing the proposed change to the “public charge” rule.

This is one more way to stand up and say this is not who we are or want to be as Americans.

Our inhumane treatment of families and children who come to America seeking a better life is degrading and diminishing us as a nation. It is not protecting us or making us great. Let us show immigrant children and families both inside and outside our borders who we really are by standing up for their safety, their lives and their right to pursue a better future.

Ha, Ha, I Knew I Was Right!

Dr. James L. Snyder Did you ever experience a time when you were right and had the evidence to prove you were right?

I know that for me, it does not happen very often. In fact, I cannot think of a time that it really did happen to me. Well, until recently.

I want to remember this incident as long as I live.

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage was preparing for our Thanksgiving family get-together.

It takes her weeks to get everything prepared; she is so meticulous and will not allow anything to go wrong from her point of view. Everything has to be done just so.

Experience has taught me during this time of the year to stay out of the kitchen! That is why I am still living to this very day.

However, it does have its advantages. I can relax in my “man cave” and stay out of her way. I know that if I ever get in her way she always, without exception, has a job for me to do. I like working, but not under those circumstances. If she cannot see me, she cannot give me work to do.

One thing she is most focused on are vegetables. According to her, there has to be a balance of vegetables and the greener the better.

I, on the other side of the “I Do” aisle, have very little patience for vegetables. I was losing the battle for

this vegetables war until recently.

I was haphazardly watching the news one night when they came out with a very scary bulletin. It seems that a certain vegetable (I will not name it because I am not a vegetable person and a vegetable to me is a vegetable) was infected and giving people E. coli.

When I first heard that news, I thought I heard it wrong. After all, I have been told all my life that vegetables are good for you and will not harm you.

A healthy diet includes lots of veggies. Then they come along with this warning that you should not buy this certain vegetable.

“Hey, my dear,” I cheerfully said, “come and look at this news report.”

I love modern technology because by the time she got into the room the television report was over. Very nonchalantly, I pressed the rewind button and was able to replay that news report about a certain vegetable.

I was as quiet as long as I possibly could be, and then I blurted out, “See, I told you, vegetables are not all good.”

She gave me one of “those looks” and walked back into the kitchen.

I grew up in a farm community in Pennsylvania and one of the

sayings my grandfather had was, “When you have a cow you need to milk it.” And I was about to milk this for everything I could.

I grabbed my coffee cup and went out in the kitchen to get another fresh c u p

of coffee and when I was there, I happened to mention, “I always knew vegetables could be dangerous.”

She looked at me and then said, “That is only one incident and I’m not sure it’s even true.”

“If it’s on TV it has to be true,” I spurted very sarcastically.

Then I had an idea burning in my head that I had been wanting to share with her for a long time but never had an opportunity. She is always getting on my case about my apple fritters, and how harmful they were to me. When saying that she was always staring at my fully developed stomach.

“There has never been,” I began as seriously as possible, “any news report that apple fritters are harmful to your health.

Certainly, not like this vegetable on the news today.”

She looked at me and smiled, but as I walked away, I could see out of the corner of my eye she was sticking her tongue out at me. It feels so good to be right about something and have it collaborated by the “TV news media.”

This is a novel experience for me to be certain. It might be the only one so I plan to enjoy it as long as possible. During the next few days whenever we crossed paths I always

smiled victoriously at her.

At our family Thanksgiving get together, I noticed that a certain “vegetable” was not on the table.

You do not know how hard it was for me not to mention that. Every once in a while I would glance in my wife’s direction and smile. She knew what I was smiling about, but just let it go.

I guess that is what married life is all about. Sharing secrets between one another.

Every time I eat an apple fritter from now on, I am going to be smiling in remembrance of that “vegetable.” I am not that accustomed to victory and so I was taking advantage of it. However, I knew I had to be careful because sometimes things can backfire. I know this by experience.

I was enjoying my victory at the time, and then I remembered what the apostle Paul said about victory.

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).

God has for us victory that supersedes any victory we could have in this world. His victory is always through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Oxnard residents Richard Linares and Sisy Sannoh announced the parade to the crowd and had a great time.

The duo had a busy weekend, as they were also the hosts at the Dance for a Cause at the Police Athletic League.

“The best part of this for me is interacting with the families and having a good time,” he said. “I am bilingual, so I love connecting with the Spanish and English-speaking population.” Sisy said she

wanted clothes and shoes for Christmas.

“And a mixer,” she said. “I am at that age now.”

Richard knew exactly what he wanted for Christmas.

“I want a 2015 Ford Edge Sport,” he said.

Manuel Lopez enjoyed the event.

“I like seeing all the kids at the parade and how happy they are,” he said.

Maribel Andrade enjoyed the bands in the parade.

“I like the drums,” she said.

Before any performance, Sanchez said she gets nervous, but the audience reaction brings an adrenaline rush that

takes her into the dance zone.

“I am proud of you and your accomplishments,” Flynn said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez echoed Flynn’s sentiments.

"Thank you for accepting this,” Ramirez said.

Councilman Bryan

“It’s time to change your voicemail to say assistant city manager rather than development services director,” MacDonald said.

The crowd at the meeting gave Golden warm applause.

we’re in Oxnard and Thousand Oaks,” she said. “We’re in Channel Islands and Ojai on Sunday. We do a lot of farmers markets in Los Angeles also.”

Susie Preciado was waiting in line for a chili cheese tamale and said she is a big fan.

“I make them at home, so I am going to be comparing,” she said. “This is my first tamale festival.”

Mario and Galilea Hic enjoyed their tamales from Me Gusta.

“The flavor is excellent,” Mario said. “I have a pork

tamale.”

He said his daughter likes her tamale, but she has her sights set on ice cream.

“After we have the tamales, we are going to get some,” he said.

Ventura resident Scott Lang brought plenty of friends to the tamale festival, and the group had a great time.

“I had the mole' with the banana leaves and the jalapeno cheese and sweet corn, which is awesome,” he said. “The jalapeno was spicy, but I like it spicy. It’s such good food. They sold out on the mole'. I ordered two, and they only had one left. They went through 2,000 of them.” He said it’s his first tamale festival, and the group decided to give them a try after the parade.

“I love seeing the kids enjoy the parade,” he said.

George Sotello went for something spicy and didn’t regret his choice.

“There is no msg, no lard, and I went with the healthy choice,” he said. “I had mine filled with an excellent seasoned shredded beef and just enough chili sauce to make it interesting. It was awesome.”

The group planned to enjoy some cold beer after lunch and enjoy the rest of the day.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18-832638CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

recorded on 8/4/2005, as Instrument No. 20050804-0192106, in the Office of the Recorder of Ventura County, California; and WHEREAS, the beneficial interest in the Mortgage Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment dated 3/7/2013, recorded on 3/21/2013, as instrument number 2013032100053283-0, in the office of Ventura County, California; and WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Deed of Trust in that the payment due upon the death of the borrower(s) was not made and remains wholly unpaid as of the date of this notice, and no payment has been made sufficient to restore the loan to currency; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent as of 11/5/2018 is $370,747.31; and WHEREAS, the Mortgage Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family house; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary's designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, SEE ATTACHED, notice is hereby given that on 12/19/2018 at 11:00 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises ("Property") will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Legal Description: LOT 57 OF TRACT NO. 2661, IN THE COUNTY OF VENTURA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 73, PAGES 65 TO 69, INCLUSIVE, OF MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY Commonly known as: 133 CONIFER CIRCLE, OAK PARK, 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.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 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-18-834494CL.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 072909CA. 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, 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, T.S.# 9987-7521. 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. 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.

Mexican city shuts down migrant shelter near U.S. border

By Staff Reports MEXICO CITY (AP)—The city government of Tijuana announced Saturday that it has closed down a migrant shelter at a sports complex close to the U.S. border that once held about 6,000 Central Americans who hope to get into the U.S. Officials said all the migrants were being moved to a former concert venue much farther from the border.

The city said in a statement the sports complex shelter was closed because of “bad sanitary conditions.”

Experts had expressed concerns about unsanitary conditions that had developed at the partly flooded sports complex, where the migrants

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador signed an agreement with his counterparts from three Central American countries to establish a development plan to stem the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. had been packed into a space adequate for half their numbers.

Mud, lice infestations and respiratory infections were rampant.

The remaining migrants were taken by bus to the new shelter about 10 miles (15 kilometers) from the

border crossing at Otay Mesa and 14 miles (22 kilometers) from San Ysidro, near where people line up to file applications for asylum in the United States.

Tijuana officials had said earlier that nobody would be forced to move to the new facility, a large building and concrete patio known as El Barretal that was used for concerts and other events until about six years ago. But they also warned they would stop offering food and medical services at the Benito Juarez sports complex.

The new shelter is being run by federal authorities.

Also Saturday, in one of his first acts in office, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador

signed an agreement with his counterparts from three Central American countries to establish a development plan to stem the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. The Foreign Ministry said the plan, which includes a fund to generate jobs in the region, aims to attack the structural causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Thousands of migrants, mostly Hondurans, have joined caravans in recent weeks in an effort to speed across Mexico to request refuge at the U.S. border.

Dozens of migrants interviewed

by The Associated Press have said they are fleeing poverty and violence in their countries of origin.

WHO: U.S. experts not needed to fight Ebola outbreak in Congo GENEVA (AP)—The head of the World Health Organization says it doesn't need experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or any other U.S. government agency to fight the deadly Ebola outbreak in Congo, insisting: “We can cover it.”

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the U.N. health agency mostly needs the United States to continue the financial and other support it has provided.

He noted the U.S. and many other developed countries have security guidelines that prevent deployments of experts in conflict zones like the Ebola-hit area of eastern Congo. Rebel groups there have complicated efforts to battle what is now the world's seconddeadliest Ebola outbreak.

Tedros told reporters Monday in Geneva: “We can mobilize from other parts, from those institutions who don't have very strict security provisions like that. We can cover it.”

New surgery treats epilepsy with electrode brain stimulation

By Ed Stannard NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP)— Beginning Monday, patients with epilepsy have a new option to reduce the number and severity of lifelimiting seizures, avoiding radical surgery that removes a part of the brain.

Called deep-brain stimulation, the treatment uses electrodes implanted in the thalamus, a structure located near the center of the brain that receives information from the senses and sends signals to the cerebral cortex.

The electrodes are controlled by a device implanted in the chest, similar to a pacemaker, and patients have a remote-control device that can adjust the amount of stimulation or even turn it off for periods of time.

“It can have a very significant impact on the ability to live on their own, take a job, all the things that many of us take for granted,” said Dr. Jason Gerrard, director of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery at the Yale School of Medicine. Gerrard also is affiliated with the Yale Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Yale New Haven Hospital, begun by Dr. Dennis Spencer, now chief of epilepsy surgery, 50 years ago.

“What we're doing is attempting to change the activity of neurons in the brain through chronic neurostimulation,” Gerrard said.

Solomon Yi, a therapy representative for Medtronic, which is based in Minneapolis, said Yale New Haven Hospital, a Level 4 epilepsy center, is one of 30 “centers of excellence” that were chosen to begin using the neurostimulator for epilepsy. He said the system was “first approved for essential tremor, which was an action tremor, in 1997, Parkinson's in 2002, then this year for epilepsy.”

The technique of implanting electrodes in the brain has been used for disorders including action tremors (which occur during bodily movement), Parkinson's disease, dystonia (involuntary muscle contractions) and obsessivecompulsive disorder. But the Food and Drug Administration only approved the technique for epilepsy in April.

There are 2.2 million to 3 million epilepsy patients in the United States, according to the American Epilepsy Society, with one in 26 people suffering epileptic seizures during their lifetime. There are medications for the disorder, which the Epilepsy Foundation says control seizures in 70 percent of patients.

When the disorder is resistant to medication, it is known as refractory epilepsy, Gerrard said, but most people will try up to six or seven medications before they'll even consider surgery because it is so invasive.

“Historically, we would attempt to localize the onset of the seizures and evaluate the patient to see if that part of the brain can be removed, and in some cases it can be,” Gerrard said.

In others, the source of the epileptic seizures is “either difficult to nail down or starts in a part of the brain that cannot be removed,” he said.

Traditional surgery has been recommended once two medications have failed to help a patient, but “in reality, people are more willing to try that sixth, seventh, eighth medication rather than going for surgery,” Gerrard said. “I think that's human nature.”

The younger a person is when they undergo surgery the better, but “right now our average patient who finally comes for surgical treatment is probably in their late 30s, early 40s,” Gerrard said.

The most common surgery, which Gerrard said has a 60 percent cure rate, is an anterior medial temporal lobectomy, which removes parts of the amygdala and hippocampus and can affect memory and cognition.

In trials comparing surgery with multiple medications, the surgery was shown “to be far superior,” he said.

“We haven't made any progress in getting people to consider surgery earlier in their treatment course,” he said. “We're hoping . . . having a less invasive surgical option will help break down those barriers in having those patients consider surgery.”

Deep-brain stimulation is much less aggressive than traditional surgery. The neurostimulator device is implanted in the chest and two leads are brought under the skin to the top of the head, with one being inserted into each thalamus on either side of the brain. Each lead has four contacts. “You can stimulate any or all of them in any combination,”

Gerrard said.

In the thalamus, there are clusters of neurons that control communication of sensory stimuli to other parts of the brain. The part of the thalamus that the electrodes target “is well connected to what is called the limbic system, which is one of the major networks that is involved in epilepsy, and so the idea is to modulate that whole system and reduce the seizures,” Gerrard said.

The limbic system is involved in the emotions, memory and basic drives such as hunger.

While deep-brain stimulation has been used for other neurological disorders, “the process of going through FDA trials to get approval for the therapy takes many years,” he said. A major study, Stimulation of the Anterior Nucleus of the Thalamus for Epilepsy, sponsored

by Medtronic, developer of the neurostimulation device, was registered in January 2005 and results were first reported in March 2010. The subjects were “all patients

who continued to have seizures despite multiple medications,” with a minimum of two seizures per month, Gerrard said. “Some patients have many more than that.”

“The outcomes . . . were pretty good, not as great as everybody had hoped,” and the device was approved in Europe but not in the United States. However, “they followed those patients over time and showed that the efficacy improved,” Gerrard said. After five years, up to 65 percent of patients responded to the stimulation. “With the long-term data they went back to the FDA . . . and got approval” in 2015.

The stimulator comes in two models, one operated by a lithium ion battery that must be replaced every three to five years and another that is rechargeable and lasts up to 12 years. The patient holds a recharging device to the chest to keep the stimulator going.

After the stimulator is implanted, programming it is done over time, with “adjustments made depending on any potential side effects patients are having” and how well it is working to reduce the number and severity of seizures.

Each patient is given a programmer “that allows them to interact with the device,” Gerrard said. “It's kind of like a parental programmer for the television. In some patients, as they become more familiar with the device and their stimulator . . . they may change their programs at home.”

In some patients, for example, reducing the number of seizures has the side effect of lowering the volume of their voice, so they may turn the device off during a family function so they can be heard, Gerrard said. It also needs to be turned off during an electrocardiogram, MRI and some dental procedures.

Rockers Hootie & the Blowfish return with new album, tour

By Kristin M. Hall NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP)—Twenty-five years after “Cracked Rear View” launched their careers, Grammywinning rock band Hootie & the Blowfish will release a new album and launch an official tour next year after a decade-long break.

Nashville, Tennessee. The tour ends in Columbia, South Carolina on Sept. 13.

The band talked to The Associated Press from Columbia, where they all met as students at the University of South Carolina, to discuss why their album was so successful, deciding to go dormant as Rucker explored his solo career and returning to their hometown on tour.

The answers have been edited for brevity.

AP: How different does the campus look now from when you went there?

Felber: The university has changed a lot. The dorm where we actually met is now in the dump (the university demolished the dorm several years ago). It's improved and grown massively.

Bryan: One interesting fact is we're going to be doing our first Columbia, South Carolina, show in probably 20 years. The town that we came out of, that we played a million shows in when we were young, we haven't played here in 20 years or almost.

AP: Are you expecting a lot of old college friends to start texting you again?

Rucker: We're changing our phone numbers.

AP: Looking back at “Cracked Rear View,” the crazy amount of success and attention must have been a big change for you?

Rucker: We probably toured seven years before we got a record deal.

Felber: We did two cassettes and a CD before we got signed and did “Cracked Rear View,” and had been on the road for four years pretty solid. By the time we got there, we were pretty ready and pretty busy.

Bryan: But we also jumped to the big stages really quick, which we weren't used to.

So, it was kind of interesting trying to take our set from like a club show to these big arenas and that sort of thing. So, there was definitely a period of transition there.

AP: That album came out when the dominant sound in rock was grunge. Did that set you apart?

Sonefeld: Our music was going against the grain of what was popular on radio at the time. It was more of the angst-driven, harder-edged rock and I think we brought back melody and brought back some of the harmony sounds that weren't really in the middle of rock radio at the time.

AP: Was there a conscious decision to put the band on hold?

Sonefeld: The idea of going dormant for an unknown period of time can be daunting or scary. But we felt like going away for a while, getting back to our families and a little bit more of a sedentary lifestyle might be a good experiment.

We didn't say we were going away for six months or six years. We just said, ‘Let's go dormant.' And Darius was releasing his first (country) single at the same time. So, he really got the opportunity to put a great effort, a full effort into country music. And when that blew up, it helped in some ways to secure that we would be dormant for more than six months.

AP: Where are you in the recording process?

Felber: We have a bunch of songs, and so now we are just working on it and getting them together and deciding which ones are going to be good and

which ones aren't going to be good. And then just kind of playing and writing in the studio.

AP: Beyond Columbia, are there certain venues or cities you're excited about playing again?

Rucker: The Garden. The last time we played Madison Square Garden we played two nights and it was awesome. I haven't been in there since to play a show. That's exciting to know that we cannot play for 10 years and get to play those places again.

AP: Darius, are you ready to rock again after a decade in country music?

Rucker: I am looking forward to rocking again.

Gonna be fun.

(AP)—Kid Rock's profane comments on live TV have gotten him booted from leading the Nashville Christmas Parade.

Instead, parade organizers have invited James Shaw Jr., the man hailed as a community hero for wrestling a gun away from the shooter during a Nashville Waffle House shooting in April that killed four people and injured four others.

On Friday morning, Kid Rock used an expletive to describe Joy Behar during an interview Friday on “Fox & Friends.” He did the interview from his bar in Nashville, where he swigged bourbon while tending bar on camera and said he had been drinking coffee and Irish cream liqueur.

“God forbid you say something a little wrong; you're racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, this that and the other.

People need to calm down, get a little less politically correct,” Kid Rock said. “And I would say, you know, love everybody. Except, I'd say screw that Joy Behar (expletive).”

Multiple “Fox & Friends” personalities apologized on air afterward. Kid Rock apologized for the language, but “not the sentiment.”

Several parade organizers announced that the parade will no longer feature Kid Rock, who had volunteered to be the grand marshal. Shaw, who has become a national figure after his heroics in the spring, has accepted the invitation, according to a spokesman for the group of organizers.

“Parade organizers feel that the grand marshal should personify the spirit of the Nashville community,” read the statement from organizers Piedmont Natural Gas, Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, and Tennessee Holiday Productions.

The main sponsors include Piedmont Natural Gas and five bars on Nashville's main nightlife strip, including Kid Rock's establishment. The proceeds from the parade are going to the Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.

The Southern poprockers, featuring lead singer Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Jim Sonefeld and Dean Felber, broke out with their major label debut in 1994, which has been certified 21-times platinum and made the Recording Industry Association of America's list of the top-10 most popular albums of all-time.

With Top 10 hits like “Hold My Hand,” “Let Her Cry” and “Only Wanna Be With You,” the South Carolinabased band went from playing college bars to selling out arenas and winning best new artist at the Grammy Awards in 1996. The band put out five studio albums and other live albums, never coming close to the popularity of the first, with the last one in 2006. Their last official tour was in 2007.

But with a big anniversary approaching in 2019, the four musicians who still play together a couple times a year for annual charity events decided it was time to go out on the road and bring with them some new music.

“Nothing has changed,” insists Rucker, who is now a major country star in his own right with several country radio hits like “Wagon Wheel.”

“When the four of us get back together, we fall into the same dynamic of the band that's always there. We've been a band for pretty much 30 years now. We're just older now.

There's a lot less alcohol.”

Rucker said they hope to have a single out in the spring with a full album next summer. The Group Therapy Tour starts May 30, 2019, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and will hit 44 cities, including the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Madison Square Garden in New York and Bridgestone Arena in

Stevie Wonder Announces Plan to Help California Fire Victims

By Jonathan Landrum Jr. LOS ANGELES (AP)— Stevie Wonder wants to raise money through his benefit concert for California fire victims impacted by the catastrophic wildfires.

The R&B legend announced his plan Tuesday to also help firefighters and first responders who assisted with the fires through his 22nd annual House Full of Toys Benefit Concert on Dec. 9. The charity billed as “The Stevie Wonder Song Party: A Celebration of Life, Love & Music” will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Concertgoers are being

asked to bring an unwrapped toy or other gift.

“We have to do our best to raise money for those that have been so less fortunate, for those that have lost dreams, lost their homes,” he said.

“I am very happy to do this

again this year but very, very, very excited to do something to help those in a bigger sense the less fortunate.”

Wonder said his foundation House Full of Hope along with the Entertainment Industry Foundation will also help raise money for those affected by the wildfire.

Nearly 90 people were killed in the massive wildfires as thousands have been displaced from their homes.

After his announcement, Wonder performed a few songs including “My Cherie Amour,” “The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)” and “Golden Lady.”
