Con Funk Shun rocks the crowd at the Oxnard Jazz Festival.

Oxnard Beach Park was bouncing Sept. 8, as the 3rd Annual Oxnard Jazz Festival drew a huge crowd that enjoyed the day and spent most of their time partying and dancing.

The day featured performers: ConFunkShun, Greg Adams & East Bay Soul, Kelly Zirbes, Mindi Abair and the Boneshakers, Paul Brown, Pete Escovedo, Rick Parma and TIERRA. Attendees also enjoyed arts, crafts, food and many shopper delights at the Vendor Marketplace.

Publicist Sheryl Aronson said Chuck Dennis, the promoter of the festival, made sure great acts came to Oxnard.

“He bases it on the demographics of Oxnard, and then he invites different groups to come,” she said. “We have

and a little bit smaller.

“People come, and you can look out there and see the community of people,” she said. “They party, dance, and it’s fabulous.”

She said Dennis has a team of people who reach out to the vendors at the festival.

“It’s been a great day,” Aronson said.

Opening act Sunny Sinclair was all smiles after her performance and said she sings smooth jazz.

“At first, you’re nervous and clenching your hands and sweating a little bit, but when you see the crowd you let it go,” she said. “I’m still a little nervous, but the feeling has passed.” n Jazz Festival, see page 3

ELECTRIC CAR SHOW BRINGS THE FUTURE TO OXNARD

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The future was running wild at Channel Islands Harbor, Sept. 9, as the Annual Electric Vehicle Car Show rolled into the neighborhood and drew many attendees loaded with questions.

Cars were on display from Nissan, Chrysler, Tesla, Ford, Fiat, BMW, and others, as people test drove vehicles, and spoke to sales representatives about making a purchase.

People also got to see motorized electric bicycles for those who want to step into the future without making a significant investment.

Ride and Drive Coordinator Cathy Bullard organized the show and is a founding member of Electric Vehicle Advocates of Ventura County.

“I decided that I didn’t want to

have a gasoline vehicle anymore,” she said. “The license plate on my car says I luv zero gas. My objective is having a car that didn’t require gas or oil. I bought a Nissan Leaf in 2011, and I’ll never go back.”

The first thing she noticed

about her Leaf is how smooth and quiet it drives.

“There is no noise, and the motor is completely silent,” she said. “You feel like you are gliding on the ice when you drive.”

Reviews that tie the distance

you can travel to how many accessories the driver uses, she said, are not accurate.

“People notice a little bit of a difference when you’re cranking the heat,” she said. “I have run mine with the air conditioning blasting; we have 100-degree days here, that doesn’t seem to make a difference."

Bullard said traveling on a steep hill affects its range.

“I drive to Thousand Oaks, so I drive up the Kineo grade every day,” she said. “What I notice with the Leaf is that I lose 10 miles of range when I go 2.5 miles up the grade, but because of the regenerative features of the vehicle, if I coast as I go down the grade I get those 10 miles lost back. It regenerates going downhill by not pressing on the accelerator.”

She said pressing the brakes n Electric Car, see page 3

On a 3-2 vote, the Oxnard City Council approved David Millican as its Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) during their Sept. 11, meeting.

City documents report the finance department faced severe, on-going challenges in the last few years, including staff tenure, workload demands, conflicts in work priorities, interruptions due to ad hoc report requests, training and development of new staff, an inefficient working environment and an outdated finance system.

Assistant City Manager Jesus Nava said the council is familiar with Millican.

“He is a retiree from CalPERS (California Public Employees' Retirement System), so there are specific requirements the city must follow to comply with government codes,” Nava said. “It is an interim appointment to the position of CFO because we require specialized skills that are needed by the city and the governing body.”

There is open recruitment for a permanent replacement, he said, so the city will get dispensation from CalPERS. “The interim appointment must be of limited duration, not to exceed 960 hours during the fiscal year,” he said.

“The appointed retiree shall not receive any benefits, incentives, compensation in lieu of benefits or any other form of compensation in addition to the hourly rate.”

Nava said the hourly rate is $96.15 and is for 960 hours.

“We calculated a maximum payment of $92,310,” he said. “The recruitment for the permanent CFO closes in mid-Oct. We hope to have somebody on-board by late Nov. or early Dec." During public comments, Oxnard resident Pat Brown said she’s watched Millican give financial reports and answer questions and is impressed.

“I have found him to be informative, a real cool head, and doesn’t get excited or wound up about anything,” she said. “I don’t know how he does it, but I think it’s years of experience.”

NEWS OPD STEPS UP FOR THE CHILDREN

Family Protection Series is A Proactive Measure to Help The Community

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

The Tesla 3 was a popular attraction at the Electric Car Show.

Safe Harbor nurse Gina D’Aquilla (left) and Detective Tenille Chacon demonstrate the effects of abusive head trauma on a child with a special doll.

Protecting children was the theme during a seminar at the W. 3rd Street Conference room, Sept. 6, as representatives from the Oxnard Police Department, Ventura County Children and Family Services and Ventura County Safe Harbor discussed how to keep children safe and happy.

The seminar also had the Oxnard Police Department Explorer Troop 9286 fingerprinting children for their safety.

Safe Harbor Nurse Gina D’Aquilla led off the seminar and focused on preventable child injuries.

“Some of the common injuries we see in kids, you might not hear about when we bring our kids home from the hospital or the pediatrician, are slide injuries,” she said. “A slide injury is when you are going down the slide with your young child, about one year old, you have them on your lap, and your legs are out to the side.”

When you go down the slide, she said the child’s legs can get caught between the parent’s body and cause a fracture.

“Important, if you are going down the slide with your small kids, make sure you have their legs together and on your lap, with your hands holding them,” she said. “It’s something we might not think about, but it happens quite often.”

She said children often mistake Tide Pods for candy.

“As soon as they bite them, what happens is the detergent shoots to the backs of their throats,” she said.

“We want you to wash their mouths out if that happens, but they do need to go to the emergency room for that even if they are not showing signs of injury or distressed breathing.”

She said distressed breathing could occur later.

“A lot of the kids will have to be transferred to higher care levels in hospitals to make sure their airway is okay,” D’Aquilla said.

Watch batteries are also dangerous, she said, because they will sit in their stomachs and injure them.

“If they get a hold of it, that

is something you’ll need to seek medical attention for,” she said.

Animal bites can be a problem, she said, even if the dog has been part of the family for a long time.

"When you bring a new child into your home, don’t leave them unattended," she said. "Even though you know a dog is good with you or other adults, sometimes when you change that situation you’re going to see a higher rate of fighting. Maybe a dog is not used to being around children and being pulled on; we want to make sure they are not left alone at any time.”

The primary culprit for choking children, she said, are hot dogs, grapes and candy.

“We want everything to be small so children can chew it without choking,” D’Aquilla said. “Reaching out and learning CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver does give you the ability to help save your child.”

Children can also drown in buckets, she said, and the water level can be only one-inch deep.

“Children are top-heavy, so their head is going to go straight down,” she said. “Once they get down there, they’re unable to get out of the bucket.”

She said children could be master climbers.

“My son, when he was younger, I heard him calling for me, and when I went into the room, he used the

shelves I mounted on the wall like a ladder,” she said. “You can imagine a one-year-old kid hanging from the top shelf wearing nothing but a diaper.”

She said children use dresser drawers to climb, and a television can fall on them.

“Anything that’s up high, we want to make sure it’s secured, so it doesn’t topple over,” she said.

Co-sleeping with a child is controversial, she said, as many people want to sleep with their child.

“There are products on the market that will help you keep your child safe,” she said. “It’s a divider that will give your child a section of the bed that prevents a parent from rolling over onto them and accidentally smothering them.”

D’Aquilla said the most dangerous time to sleep with a child is from birth up to age four months.

“Keeping that in mind, if you choose to co-sleep, take those extra steps to make sure that you’re not able to roll over on your child,” she said.

Another severe and preventable

injury is abusive head trauma, formerly known as the Shaken Baby Syndrome.

D’Aquilla said fatigue could set in after many hours feeding, changing and anything else you can do to sooth the baby.

“They’re still going to scream and cry,” she said. “The recommendation is to put them in a safe place and walk away. It’s not going to hurt them to cry themselves to sleep, and it’s not going to hurt you to walk away. It doesn’t make you a bad parent to walk away.”

If you go into the living room and hear them, she said to go into the backyard.

“Some of the symptoms of abusive head trauma are seizures, convulsions, irritability and can also mean a life-long disability,” she said.

“It can mean a coma and death for children.”

She brought out a mechanical baby doll that simulates what happens to a shaken child.

“If you look at the lit-up section of the child’s brain (the front and back of the head) the brain is hitting the front and back of the forehead,” she said. “It’s an area where bleeding will happen, and when the blood touches the baby’s brain, the tissue can die.”

“My father plays and put together a bunch of rock bands when I was a kid.”

“I looked at Saxophone as something strong, heavy and fun,” she said. “You’d watch the big man (Clemmons) play with (Bruce) Springsteen, and it’s just powerful.”

She played with Springsteen right after Clemmons passed away.

“I had been touring with Max (Weinberg), and he knew that I knew every Clarence Clemmons solo,” Abair said. “I played “Spirit in the Night” at the Beacon Theater in New York, and I was like okay, I can get hit by a bus tomorrow. I’m totally good.”

She looks forward to meeting some jazz greats.

“I’m still waiting to meet the guys from Con Funk Shun,” she said. “I remember my parents playing their songs when I was young.”

She said the song “Lucy” was her sweet spot during the show.

“My parents used to blast that,” she said. “I remember it playing upstairs through my house.”

Publicist Essex Porter said the Oxnard Jazz Festival is a great venue for Sunny.

“It’s growing, and they give many artists an opportunity to go out and showcase their talents,” he said.

Sunny Sinclair is available on Instagram.

Felton Pilate from Con Funk Shun said he’s new to the band and started in 1979. He loves how it feels to bring a great performance to the crowd.

“You know that feeling you get when your employer tells you good job; I get that from several thousand of my employers at the same time,” he said. “That’s my high. It’s euphoria and a feeling of excitement.”

lightly regenerates power to the battery when you drive.

“You’re going to be more efficient if you’re in stop-and-go driving than if you are on the freeway because you are using your brake to stop-and-go,” she said.

Finding a place to recharge your electric vehicle, she said, is not a problem.

“The navigation systems of these vehicles will tell you where the charging stations are located,” she said.

“One thing you’ll notice as an electric vehicle driver is there is level-three charging station available off most major freeways, as well as popular locations like shopping malls.”

She said a level-three charge is 440 volts and charges an electric vehicle in approximately 20-30 minutes.

“It’s the equivalent of stopping to get a cup of coffee and charging your car while you’re doing that,” she said.

“Then you go back to your car, and you’ll have a lot of range added because of that quick charge.”

Bullard said level-two charging at her home is a 220-volt charge and she plugs her car in at the end of the day and doesn’t have any issues.

“You can plug it into a standard 110volt outlet, and it will charge slowly,” she said. “One nice feature for the electric vehicle is you can set it to charge when the electric is at a lower rate. Overnight is less expensive. I have this car set to start charging at midnight, and it will be finished in a few hours depending on how low the battery is at the end of the day.”

She bought the Leaf with her husband.

“He owns 50 percent of it, and I let him drive 10 percent of the time,” she joked. Cesar Guerra was waiting in line to ask about the Tesla Model Three and had lots of questions about driving range, charge times and incentives.

“I want to see if I can afford one,” he said.

He drives a Toyota Corolla.

“It’s good on the MPG’s (miles per gallon), but I am attracted to the electric car,” he said. “I travel 10 miles to work, so it’s doable.”

He is going to look more before stepping up to an electric vehicle.

“I just paid mine off, so I am going to wait a year or two,” he said.

Jeff Spinner was out looking at the choices.

“I study environmental science in college,” he said. “I usually go to the farmers’ market and saw the electric car show was going on.”

He used to be a professional snowboarder and is worried about the battery in cold weather.

“You have to make sure you can get from charge-to-charge,” he said.

Peter Miller had a busy time running the Doglegbike Bike booth.

“We’ve designed them to have a good price,” he said. “With the battery and charger, we sell them for $1,250.”

The bike is a mountain bike, he said, that goes about 30 miles on a full charge.

“It depends on how much pedaling you want to do,” he said. “It’s a great way to get around.”

He said the electric bikes are big in Europe.

“In America, the truck is still king of the road,” he said.

Justin Cook brought his Falcon Van to the show that he converted to electric.

“I mostly use it for the beach, and it doesn’t need to go far because I live in town (Oxnard) and it was noisy and stinks,” he said. “Being an engineer, I thought I could convert it and get rid of the parts I didn’t like.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2018

OPED

Slow Is Just the Way I Go Dr. James L. Snyder One of the main complaints in the Parsonage has to do with my procrastination. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage often refers to me as, Sir Procrastinator, as if it was a bad thing.

Anything that needs doing in our house, my wife is the first one to jump up and try to do it. She fixes things before they are even broken.

How she does that, I will never know.

It is a wife thing.

I, on the other hand, am slower than a politician trying to explain him or herself. For some reason, I was born in no hurry and that has been my motto all of my life. I am really not in a hurry for anything.

I take my time, relax whenever possible and just do not get excited about anything. I have found out that when I get excited about something and want to go fast forward, I always get into trouble. Trouble has become my middle name in this regard.

As a child, my parents wanted me to speed up and get things done quickly. I never could figure out why.

Very few things need to be done in a speedy order.

I just do not have the energy, these days, to hurry up and get something done.

Last year, for example, the doctor gave me a little package to take home that I was supposed to put in a personal “sample” and send to the company. Certainly, I meant to do it as soon as I got home. But I took the slow way home, stopped and got a delicious banana split. I can only get these banana splits when I am driving by myself, for the other companion in our home has strict laws about such “nonsense,” as she calls it.

I actually enjoyed my “nonsense” very much.

When I got home, however, I had forgotten about the box in which I was supposed to put in my “sample” and send to the company. I put it somewhere and I just forgot about it.

“When,” my wife said, “are you going to take care of that and send it in?”

I almost said, “When pigs fly.”

But because I was slow in getting that phrase out, it never got out. Of course, I am so glad I was slow in that

regard.

Sometimes being slow has its rewards. Some people say being fast has its rewards. I would not know about that personally.

Several months went by. “Did you send that package in?”

“What package?” I said.

Then she reminded me of that package and that I had to send in my “sample” for the doctor had ordered it.

Doctors! What do they really know? After all, they are only “practicing” medicine. When they get it to perfection, then maybe I’ll believe them.

Several mornings when I would get up, I would hear the question, “Are you going to take care of what you’re supposed to do?”

“Well,” I said rather sarcastically, Several weeks later, I got a letter “now you know.” in the mail from the company where It only proved to me that I sent my “sample.” I was not sure sometimes procrastination does pay

off. Sometimes when you jump into a problem or circumstance, you pay dearly for it. And sometimes, like my “sample” when you procrastinate you get paid.

I then reminded my wife of what King David said. “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord” (Psalm 27:14).

Of course, the key here is not waiting, but who you are waiting on. I like to procrastinate until I really know what God wants me to do. Sometimes it takes longer than I figured, but when I wait, I am never disappointed.

OPED We Must Stop Destroying our Children

By Marian Wright Edelman “There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues—the most dominating virtues of human society— are created, strengthened and maintained.”

Joseph Miles is 51 years old, but says he spends a lot of time today thinking about this quote by Winston Churchill because it helps him understand everything that was missing in his own childhood. Joseph is currently incarcerated and serving a life sentence. He is a regular participant and leader in SALT: Schools for Alternative Learning and Transformation, a participatory educational community inside Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, Tennessee. Many SALT classes include students from local universities coming into the prison to learn alongside students who are residents of Riverbend.

Rev. Janet Wolf, a Children’s Defense Fund organizer, is one of SALT’s founders.

In a recent workshop Joseph joined others in discussing the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) research which tracks the impact children’s stressful and traumatic experiences can have on their adult health and opportunity including future violence victimization and perpetration.

These experiences are an important public health issue, too often ignored. Many incarcerated students spoke about how difficult it is for any studies to fully capture the trauma and terror that defined many of their childhoods. And as importantly, what if the right resources had been available to help them then? Several shared their stories. This is Joseph’s.

Joseph’s father left his mother while she was pregnant with him, claiming the baby wasn’t his. As he says, “It is my belief that my daddy’s disloyalty to their marriage left my mother broken and blaming me for ruining their marriage. Over time, I believe she developed a hatred for me.” His father alternated between refusing to see him at all and taunting him: “He would trick me by talking nice to me, and once I went to him with that little boy smile on my face, he would say to me ‘you

little ugly mother***, get away from me, I ain’t your goddamn daddy,’ and he would continue that verbal assault until I was standing there crying and shaking in fear. Just imagine this big man with this strong voice yelling those words down on the little friable boy . . . The only time my mother ever hit me was when I cried after my daddy or for something he had promised me and did not do, and that was every time he picked up [Joseph’s older siblings] and left me standing there crying. Eventually, to hear my daddy’s voice would start my little body to shaking with fear.”

As a child Joseph tried hard to stay on his best behavior because he thought that might make both parents finally love him. But he says everything changed on Christmas Eve, 1980, when he was 13. “My daddy had never given me anything but a hard time, and a promise that I knew he would not keep. Nevertheless, he was promising to buy me a bike for Christmas, a bike that I wanted very much . . . My mother told me to stop talking about that damn bike because he was not going to get it, but I was so excited about it because he had bought my sister a bike, and I could not stop talking or thinking about my bike, or wait for Christmas Day. I needed to see my bike before I went to sleep.” Joseph went to his father’s house to try to peek at the gift he was so sure

was waiting – but there was no bike, just his drunk, enraged father.

“He woke up and saw me through eyes red as fire and his voice was louder than I had ever heard it before and his words were terrifying as he called me all kinds of little ugly nappy head mother***. Those

so well? That night is forever etched in my mind) . . . Now, one would have thought this is where my mother would have consoled me as her child, but she attacked me as if I were her enemy.

“Momma said, ‘Didn’t I tell you to shut your mother*** mouth?’ Before her words

Those words cut through my little heart unmercifully, paralyzing me with fear; I stood there shaking with tears streaming down my face. words cut through my little heart unmercifully, paralyzing me with fear; I stood there shaking with tears streaming down my face. He got up off the bed, took me by my arm, walked me to the front door, opened it, and pushed me out of his house.”

Then Joseph’s mother found him walking home distraught.

“I got in the back seat of the car and momma said to me, ‘Shut your mother*** mouth!’

I tried my best to stop crying but I could not. We got home and she told me to go to the back room and shut the door . . . My mother had a club that she carried around in her pocketbook. It was approximately 13 inches long and about 6 inches round at the bottom and it got smaller as you moved up to the top of it; it was shaped like a baseball bat. (How do I remember it

ended, she had hit me twice with that club. I crawled to the corner of the bed, and put my arm up to block the blow and she beat it down. I lay on that bed with my head taking every blow. ‘Pop, pop, pop’ was the sound the club made inside my skull as it struck my head.

My sister stood in the door yelling for my mother to stop.

The club continued striking my head, ‘pop, pop, pop, pop . . .’ My eyes locked with my sister’s eyes, and whatever she saw in me caused her to let out a loud piercing scream, and she grabbed the club from my mother’s hand.”

He says: “I realize now that all of my mother’s rage toward me came out in that room that night, and if my sister had not followed my mother down that hall to that room that night, there is not a doubt in my mind that my mother would

have beaten me to death. That beating left me traumatized and afraid of my mother, and determined to never again be anyone’s victim.”

In an instant Joseph’s response to a lifetime of rejection and abuse switched from that of a child desperate to please to a young man determined to harden and protect himself at all costs. It was a life-altering moment – and one that put him on a destructive path for the next 15 years that ended with his incarceration and life sentence at age 28. That was 23 years ago.

Joseph looks again now at Winston Churchill’s words: “That statement helped me to understand why there was so much trouble in my life as a child. Moral excellence was not taught in the house I was raised in . . . As a child [I was] beaten by my mother and bullied by my daddy for no other reason than loving my daddy. My parents’ actions left me deeply scarred in my heart. I would carry this pain and suppress it with any and all other adversities that touched my young life.

Eventually, that pain would be unleashed on the people in those streets and I would be judged as a bad child, with no one understanding, not even myself understanding that pain that was destroying me from within.

“I wish I could have met the person that coined this phrase:

‘Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.’ I would like to tell him or her how detrimental that phrase became to many children, children who really needed help from people or the person who was bullying them, children who consciously or unconsciously, verbally or silently, to no avail, called on that rhyme as if it had some kind of mystical power that would fend off the verbal assault that was being inflicted upon them. Many children lost their way because of words that were so emotionally damaging and penetrating much deeper than a child understands, and in some cases, those words were directly responsible for children committing suicide, or the taking of human life.

Sticks and stones will break your bones; however, words used in a destructive manner have and will continue to destroy lives.”

How many children’s lives are being destroyed right now without attention and help from any caring adult? How many children face teachers who don’t know their students or stop to explore what they may be experiencing and instead focus only on their behavior, leading them to suspend or expel children from the classroom for days or weeks at a time? How many social workers or detention staff who welcome new children in their caseloads have the expertise and take the time to look at experiences that brought children into what we at the Children’s Defense Fund call the Cradle to Prison Pipeline™ and then find them the help they need? How many of us as parents see friends of our children who we sense are hurting but don’t ask why or try to get them help?

We must never give up on any child. It is never too late.

Caring and love are always needed.

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

Civil Rights and Racial Justice Organizations Oppose Washington NFL Team Re-Locating to District of Columbia WASHINGTON, DC—Today, nine leading national civil rights and racial justice organizations formally announced their joint opposition to the Washington National Football League (NFL) team locating its new stadium in the District of Columbia unless the team agrees to drop the “R-word” racial slur as its mascot.

The coalition, which previously denounced the team’s continued use of this offensive mascot, felt compelled to speak out now given the team is actively exploring potential stadium sites across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

“In 2018, no other people of color must confront the harm and ridicule levied by a sports team whose name refers to the color of their skin,” Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP, stated. “It is long past time that the NFL and its Washington franchise throw this dictionary-defined racial slur into the dustbin of history, where it belongs.”

“The need to recognize and First Americans.

characterization of Native Americans. The success of theWashington football franchise does not depend on the name of its team, but rather the talent of its players and leadership. The NFL must abandon its tone-deaf culture as it relates to people of color and change the hurtful name of this team.”

“We thank our racial equity colleagues for locking arms in solidarity with Indian Country as we grow this decades-long movement to eradicate offensive Native-themed mascots from the sports landscape once and for all.

We call on D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. City Council to stand firm in its stated opposition to the team relocating to the District as long as it retains its current name and mascot,” stated Jacqueline Pata, Executive Director of the National Congress of American Indians. “We also welcome other organizations, governments, corporations, sports leagues, and everyday Americans to likewise choose to stand on the right side of history.”

NEWS Jacqui Irwin Honored by City Council ASSEMBLYWOMAN RECOGNIZED FOR HELPING OXNARD

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com The Oxnard City Council gave Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin a special commendation for her work in the community over the past 12 months during the Sept. 11, meeting.

Mayor Tim Flynn said it’s not often someone like Irwin visits the council, and in the current political environment things don’t get done because of opinion differences.

“Assemblywoman Irwin has been able to transcend that and do some great things for Oxnard,” Flynn said.

Irwin obtained $9.5 million in state funding for emergency repairs to the Oxnard wastewater treatment plant.

“I wish you could have gotten

that before the recall election,” he said. “It insured emergency repairs will be completed and ensure the wastewater system will improve its services.”

Irwin also obtained $68.6 million for construction of a sixlane bridge on Rice Avenue over the Union Pacific Railroad at State Route 34 to eliminate the railroad crossing, Flynn said.

Irwin thanked the residents and council and said she was a Thousand Oaks Council member for 10 years.

“We have, as a team, worked very hard to do what we can for Oxnard, especially for the wastewater plant,” she said. “Oxnard made a huge investment in the purification

plant. It is a state-of-the-art facility, and for us, it was important to make sure the plant continues to operate so you can start delivering more water to the rest of the county.”

She said the purification plant has a big benefit for the county.

“We will keep looking for funds to help Oxnard thrive,” she said. “This is a fantastic community.”

sneak up on you.”

During council comments, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said people come forward and voice what they should do.

“I believe our city council faces a situation where we don’t have anyone who can step up, or wants to step up to do the job,” she said.

As a consultant, she said the city needs someone with expertise who can help for a temporary period.

“We have a lot of things coming up, we’ve been without a CFO for quite a while, and we’ve gone through a few,” she said. “It’s not so simple for cities and counties to find people who want to work in this atmosphere or for these salaries.”

She said Millican started working for the city and was injured.

“Some people say he injured himself, but that is not the case,” Ramirez said. “The city council is in a situation where we have to have someone who is capable of doing the job.

Nobody is perfect, and we can always improve, every single one of us, so I support this.”

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said that Starr’s comment about the council not receiving monthly financial statements is not accurate.

“I know I see them on a monthly basis,” Starr said. “I get emailed all the reports, and all the department directors get to see where their budgets are. I see all the other council members names on there.”

MacDonald thanked Millican for his service.

“I appreciate the conversations we’ve had, I respect you as an incredibly intelligent person, but I’m not convinced this is the best way to go,” MacDonald said.

Councilman Bert Perello said he comes recommended, but he doesn’t support Millican's hire.

“When a previous city manager, Mr. Nyhoff, asked me to support $500,000 for Management Partners, he said

he needed it, and he brought Management Partners in,” Perello said.

Management Partners asked Millican to work for them, Perello said, but he wasn’t sure how it worked.

“You were here and assisted, and it came to the city council’s attention that we were short money,” he said. “We started to find out what we had not been told by management, or council members had never asked questions.”

He said the city made decisions based on a “doomsday situation” and they put pressure on organized labor unions that worked for the city.

“It turned out later on, that we had more money than believed,” he said. “We lost a lot of good people, some through cutbacks and some looked for other venues.”

He said that created a bad taste among employees coming back that a council member, Perello, lied to them based on information that he received.

Nyhoff bailed out on the city, and Perello said they still have problems in the finance department.

“These are not your fault; this is what my city council, my residents, my voters, my management allowed to happen in the City of Oxnard,” he said. “I feel I would be doing a disservice to the people who work here.”

Mayor Tim Flynn said the biggest challenge the city has is “undoing decades of financial mismanagement” and one of the most significant problems is a capacity issue.

“We can argue in this room, courts of law and public opinion the numbers haven’t been accurate, but ladies and gentlemen, the numbers haven’t been right for several decades, and the question is when will the numbers be right?”

Flynn said Millican and Nyhoff came in and Nyhoff had no idea how bad things were.

“He had to make decisions that cost him politically unlike anyone I have ever seen anybody pay the price for,” Flynn said. “Those budgetary decisions we made were highly political decisions, and I believe Mr. Nyhoff suffered the consequences. He took the bullets for some difficult decisions.”

Flynn said you can’t get something for nothing.

“We have a capacity issue and we keep going around in circles about this person is not right, that person is not right when in fact this man (Millican) has more financial experience than all the people in this room combined.”

Flynn said the issue boils down to one point.

“We need a steady hand to transition us from now until a new CFO is hired,” he said.

Millican Named continued from page 1

she feels informed about the city’s finances.

“He makes it so the public can understand it and I think he does a heck of a good job," Brown said. "If it takes until next April for somebody to be here permanently, so be it. At least we’ll know we’re getting somebody who knows their stuff and isn’t dilly-dallying around like some of the people in the past.”

She said a former CFO "would wave his hands all over the place.”

“You knew he didn’t know what the heck he was talking about,” she said. “He made it up as he went along to make it sound good.” Aaron Starr said when a court order allowed them to campaign for Measure M on the ballot in 2016, Millican updated the council about the state of utilities in Oxnard.

“Mr. Millcan, after scrubbing the numbers for several weeks, figured out that we were only going to bring in a little over $23 million for the year,” Starr said. “At the time, I said there was no way that is possible.”

Starr said the total didn’t make sense and conservation couldn’t explain it.

“There is a huge fixed fee portion of the revenue that’s on people’s bills,” he said. “There was just no possible way in the world we can have enough conservation to cause the drop they were anticipating.”

Fast forward seven months and Starr said there was $30.6 million in the fund.

“It was a huge miss,” he said.

“I’m not here to beat up on Mr. Millcan, but there is a better solution.”

One problem, Starr said, was the council doesn’t get financial figures on a regular basis.

"One of my concerns is you don’t get monthly financial statements,” he said. “Any big corporation, and Oxnard is a big corporation, the folks that make financial decisions typically have monthly financial statements. Not having regular information (like in Thousand Oaks), something like that can

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-18-828215-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

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.

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.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

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

should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 2802832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 070682-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

No Immediate Ruling in GOP’s Latest ‘Obamacare’ Lawsuit

By Paul Weber

A

USTIN, Texas (AP)—The latest push to scrap the Affordable Care Act once and for all pressed ahead Wednesday as Republican-controlled states asked a federal judge to finish what Congress started last year and bring the law that insures 20 million Americans to a halt.

A small group of protesters, some holding signs reading “Save the ACA,” shouted across the street from a Fort Worth, Texas, courthouse where former President Barack Obama’s health care law is again under attack. At issue are core principles of the law, including protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions and limits on how much older customers can be charged.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor made no immediate ruling following a four-hour hearing. Twenty GOP-led states brought the lawsuit, arguing that the entire health care law was rendered unconstitutional after Congress repealed the “individual mandate” that required most Americans to buy insurance or risk a tax penal-

ty. “Texans and other Americans should be free again to make their own health care choices,” said Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading the court challenge.

The case is the most high-profile legal challenge to “Obamacare” under President Donald Trump, whose administration is not defending the law in court. But the Justice Department

The arguments in Texas unfolded as senators in Washington pressed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation could swing the next major challenge to the health care law. Kavanaugh issued a 2011 opinion that some conservatives viewed as favorable to the individual mandate, but Democrats worry he will provide a key vote on the court against the law.

“The Republican-backed lawsuit that seeks to take away protections from people with pre-existing conditions makes the stakes as high as could be.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) doesn’t want an immediate injunction suspending enforcement of the law, even as Republicans press for one.

Justice Department attorney Brett Shumate told the judge that any immediate injunction could create “a potential for chaos,” The Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

The Trump administration sitting out the case has left defense of the law up to Democratic state attorneys general. On Capitol Hill, Democrats sought to tie the Texas case into the fight over whether Kavanaugh should serve on the Supreme Court.

“The Republican-backed lawsuit that seeks to take away protections from people with pre-

existing conditions makes the stakes as high as could be,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a news conference.

The law has proved largely durable so far— both in previous challenges that reached the U.S. Supreme Court and in a failed GOP effort to repeal it during Trump’s first year in office.

But the collation of GOP-controlled states saw a new opening when Congress removed the individual mandate as part of a tax overhaul last year. Paxton has said that without the tax penalty, there is no “remaining legitimate basis for the law.”

William Sage, a professor of law and medicine at the University of Texas at Austin, called it a “swing for the fences lawsuit” that appeared thinner than previous challenges.

Nathan Cortez, a law professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, said it’s not clear whether this challenge is different from other attempts to strike down the law that have failed.

“All it takes is for a district court judge and then an appellate panel to find some validity in the argument for it to get up to the Supreme Court,” he added.

SEPTEMBER IS SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH How You Can Recognize One in Need and Help To Find Your Local Crises Center, visit

https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/our-network/#section-1 As provided by Suicide Prevention Lifeline Ask How – Asking the question “Are you thinking about suicide?” communicates that you’re open to speaking about suicide in a non-judgmental and supportive way. Asking in this direct, unbiased manner, can open the door for effective dialogue about their emotional pain and can allow everyone involved to see what next steps need to be taken. Other questions you can ask include, “How do you hurt?” and “How can I help?” Do not ever promise to keep their thoughts of suicide a secret.

The flip side of the “Ask” step is to “Listen.” Make sure

you take their answers seriously and not to ignore them, especially if they indicate they are experiencing thoughts of suicide. Listening to their reasons for being in such emotional pain, as well as listening for any potential reasons they want to continue to stay alive, are both incredibly important when they are telling you what’s going on. Help them focus on their reasons for living and avoid trying to impose your reasons for them to stay alive.

Why – Studies show that asking at-risk individuals if they are suicidal does not increase suicides or suicidal thoughts. In fact, studies suggest the opposite: findings sug-

gest acknowledging and talking about suicide may in fact reduce rather than increase suicidal ideation.

Keep Them Safe How – First of all, it’s good for everyone to be on the same page.

After the “Ask” step, and you’ve determined suicide is indeed being talked about, it’s important to find out a few things to establish immediate safety. Have they already done anything to try to kill themselves before talking with you? Does the person experiencing thoughts of suicide know how they would kill themselves? Do they have a specific, detailed plan?

What’s the timing for their plan?

What sort of access to do they have to their planned method?

Why – Knowing the answers to each of these questions can tell us a lot about the imminence and severity of danger the person is in.

For instance, the more steps and pieces of a plan that are in place, the higher their severity of risk and their capability to enact their plan might be. Or if they have immediate access to a firearm and are very serious about attempting suicide, then extra steps (like calling the authorities or driving them to an emergency department) might be necessary. The Lifeline can always act as a resource during these moments as well if you aren’t entirely sure what to do next.

Be There How – This could mean being physically present for someone, speaking with them on the phone when you can, or any other way that shows support for the person at risk. An important aspect of this step is to make sure you

follow through with the ways in which you say you’ll be able to support the person – do not commit to anything you are not willing or able to accomplish. If you are unable to be physically present with someone with thoughts of suicide, talk with them to develop some ideas for others who might be able to help as well (again, only others who are willing, able, and appropriate to be there).

Listening is again very important during this step – find out what and who they believe will be the most effective sources of help.

Why – Being there for someone with thoughts of suicide is life-saving. Increasing someone’s connectedness to others and limiting their isolation (both in the short and long-term) has shown to be a protective factor against suicide. Thomas Joiner’s Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide highlights connectedness as one of its main components – specifically, a low sense of belonging. When someone experiences this state, paired with perceived burdonsomeness (arguably tied to “con-

nectedness” through isolating behaviors and lack of a sense of purpose) and acquired capability (a lowered fear of death and habituated experiences of violence), their risk can become severely elevated.

Help Them Connect How – Helping someone with thoughts of suicide connect with ongoing supports (like the Lifeline, 800-2738255) can help them establish a safety net for those moments they find themselves in a crisis.

Additional components of a safety net might be connecting them with supports and resources in their communities.

Explore some of these possible supports with them – are they currently seeing a mental health professional? Have they in the past? Is this an option for them currently? Are there other mental health resources in the community that can effectively help?

One way to start helping them find ways to connect is to work with them to develop a safety plan. This can include ways for them identify if they start to experience significant, severe thoughts of suicide

Serena Williams: Umpire Treated Her Differently Than a Male Player NEW YORK (AP)—Serena Williams thought she was treated more harshly by the chair umpire in the U.S. Open final than a man would have been.

Williams was cited by official Carlos Ramos for three code violations during her 6-2, 6-4 loss to Naomi Osaka on Saturday: for getting coaching signals; for breaking her racket, which cost her a point; and for calling the chair umpire a thief, which cost her a game.

“I've seen other men call other umpires several things.

I'm here fighting for women's rights and for women's equality and for all kinds of stuff. For me to say ‘thief,' and for him to take a game, it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. He's never taken a game from a man because they said ‘thief,”' Williams said at her news conference.

“For me, it blows my

mind,” Williams said. “But I'm going to continue to fight for women.”

Earlier, as Williams pleaded her case on court with tournament referee Brian Earley, calling the penalties unfair, she said: “Because you're a woman, you're going to take this away from me?”

“There's a lot of men out here that have said a lot of things,” Williams said, “and because they are men, that doesn't happen.”

Two-time Australian Open champion and two-time U.S. Open runner-up Victoria Azarenka backed up Williams' stance, writing on Twitter : “If it was men's match, this wouldn't happen like this. It just wouldn't” There have been a series of recent happenings that illustrate the ways in which tennis does do things differently for men and women.

Just before the U.S. Open, the French tennis federation

president said that the black catsuit worn this year by Williams at the French Open would not be allowed at that tournament in the future.

During the U.S. Open, a female player, Alize Cornet, was incorrectly admonished by a chair umpire for changing her shirt during a match, which is allowed—and which men do all the time. And the U.S. Tennis Association created a new rule last week that allows for a 10-minute break in men's matches when the heat and humidity are too harsh; previously, only women were given that chance for a delay.

“I just feel like the fact that I have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions, and that want to express themselves, and want to be a strong woman. They're going to be allowed to do that because of today,” Williams said. “Maybe it didn't work out for me, but it's going to work out for the next person.”
