XNARD Mayor Tim Flynn and Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez were the top two vote-getters, and since neither scored 50 percent of the electorate, the duo will go against each other in the Nov. 5, election.

The unofficial results at press time are Flynn, 3,254, Ramirez, 2,284, Independent Jeff Burum, 1,390, Oxnard Board of Trustees Member Veronica Robles-Solis, 1,318, and Harbor Commissioner Jess Herrera, 1,275 Measure B won easily in Oxnard, 9,481 to 2,041, but the victory was short-lived, as Moving Oxnard Forward Co-Founders Aaron Starr and Alicia Percell have announced legal action to enforce their stricter term limits.

The duo is engaged in a legal battle over their five voter initiatives that got certified, and that battle rages on.

The Oxnard Government Accountability and Ethics Act prohibits councilmembers and planning commissioners from accepting gifts from lobbyists and contractors; eliminates the influence of outside special interests by imposing contribution limits to Mayoral and City Council candidates; expands transparency by posting all expensive City contracts and the City's monthly financial reporting on the City website for public review and establishes a three-term limit for the City Council and Mayor, and changes the Mayor's term from two to four years to be consistent with the City Council.

Starr reveals

“legal blunder”

Moving Oxnard Forward Election day was busy at the Greater Oxnard Organization of Democrats, The GOOD Club, as people made the most of their day and got the word out that supported their candidates.

Ramirez Campaign Manager Robert O'Riley started his day at 5 a.m. and went to the neighborhoods and dropped off lastminute cards that say vote for Carmen.

Oxnard-- The Oxnard City Council thinks they’re playing a clever game with voters … but they actually broke the law … again!

Anacapa View residents forced to pay for years of neglect

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Port Hueneme-Residents at Anacapa View Condos held a critical meeting at the development's clubhouse, Feb. 29, to discuss a $32,300 assessment that will be placed on each unit.

The crowded meeting all agreed that few people could afford the assessment, and some people are worried that the action will force them into foreclosure.

A tour of the facility revealed broken railings and stairs, along with the most glaring issue, a second floor

that was held up by temporary metal poles, and dry rot on a lot of wood.

The proposed project will replace the stairways, common walkways, guardrails, siding damage, and support beams that will eliminate dry rot and termite damage.

The project also needs all the electrical panels and recessed lighting replaced, according to meeting documents, new perimeter fencing, and fresh paint.

Homeowner Roger Schultz opened the meeting and said he bought his home in 1978 when it was approximately five years old.

said it's primarily used as a rental, although he has lived at his location.

"We're all concerned about this situation," he said. "My background is in sales, marketing, management, and later in my career, I was doing business consulting. When Mary set up the meeting, I contacted her, and we worked together to gather the documents and get as much information as we could to express our concern."

Homeowners have the choice of paying the $32,300 in one lump sum, upfront, or in monthly installments of $281 per month for the next 15 years. That drives the cost up to

$50,580.

Schultz asked the group if they have to pay the large sum.

"We do have to eventually, but we have to do it in a proper sequence," he said.

Steve White has been a licensed contractor for 29 years and has dealt with multiple sets of plans, but not on such a grand scale.

"When this came up, the cost seems to be a lot of money, but is it justified," he asked. "I'm not sure, because the factors that enter into it are the scope of work that is given to us, and we were not able to see a set n Anacapa View, see page 2

Really Really Free Market draws a crowd in Ventura

Girl reports sexual battery while walking to school

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

Oxnard--On Feb. 25, 2020, at about 5 p.m., a 16-year-old female came to the station and reported she had been sexually battered earlier in the day. The initial information said when the 16-year-old was walking to school at approximately 7:55 a.m., an unknown suspect approached her from behind.

The suspect grabbed her around the waist and grabbed her buttocks. The victim turned around, and the suspect fled the area.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic, male, 22-27 years, 5-7, 160 lbs, brown hair, short goatee, wearing a white t-shirt, and blue/ white checkered pajama pants.

The suspect has not been located at this time, and the Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit is investigating the case.

Anyone with information regarding this case or other criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at 805-385-7600, or online via oxnardpd.org, and clicking on Report Suspicious Activity. You can remain anonymous if you choose to do so. You can also stay anonymous by calling the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-2228477.

Ventura--A warm sun and light breeze highlighted the day at Kimball Park, Feb. 29, as the Ventura Really Really Free Market came off without a hitch, and people left with happy faces and free goodies.

F

OOD Not Bombs hosted the event and served delicious vegan breakfast burritos, and had workshops on knitting, Chinese gongfu tea, screen printing, and seed exchanges.

Attendees brought their picnic blankets and shared their books, food, video game tools, and electronics. The event was free, with no questions asked.

Food Not Bombs member Taylor Buck got involved at the last Ventura Really Really Free Market in Nov. 2019 and said that one was a little bit smaller.

"That's probably because it was in a parking lot dumpster corral and a little bit tucked away," he said.

"We didn't get as much traction as we hoped, but this one turned out well. I got this from other people who have been doing this in the area."

Buck and his partner Julie Lemos cooked the breakfast burritos, and the group brought "all kinds of things."

"It's a community gathering, and essentially, it's a yard sale and picnic," Buck said. "Everything

here today was free. There is clothing, shoes, peanut butter, and jelly sandwiches (PB&J's breakfast burritos and books."

The group also had sewing, yarn, and tea workshops.

"We served tea," Lemos said. "I love cooking, and this is a great way to contribute to the community— anyone who needs food. The idea is to do pop up food and give it out for free and not worry about making a sale. It's about putting people first."

She was amazed at how many people came to the event.

"People dropped off, and others brought their blanket and spent the day," she said.

Once people arrived, Buck said everyone found their niche.

"Ryan operated the tea station,

Julie worked sewing station, Linda did a knitting circle," Buck said. "It was a fun time, and we hung out and enjoyed the sun."

Linda Woolever said Buck and Lemos are her best friends, and they got her to join the fun.

"I had a lot of stuff at my house that I didn't need anymore," she said. "I know how to knit, and they asked me if I would be willing to do a knitting workshop. I said yes, and that's all it took."

She said the secret to being a good knitter is learning how to be patient.

"You just need to keep trying, and you'll get it," she said. "I don't know how to crochet, but a lot of people who came and sat with me to knit said they did know how to crochet.

I asked them if they would be willing

to come to the next market and doing a crocheting workshop. There were a lot of interested people who want to teach people how to crochet."

She loved seeing all the little kids learn how to knot on her blanket.

"They were, like four-year-olds," she said. "They didn't have the dexterity to do it, but they would sit there for 20 minutes and try to figure it out. It's fun getting to know people in our community and have a conversation with people that I don’t usually have an opportunity to have a conversation with."

She did pick up a treat at the market.

"I got a little bandana," she said.

of plans. They said sign, and we'll show you."

White went to the City of Port Hueneme and said they have a set of plans for one building, number 229, but they do not have a complete set of plans for the project.

"That was my first question, can I see the plans," he asked.

"They said they're not sure where they are, but they will check on it. I did inquire with a couple of their building safety departments, and the way that it works is they are not considered an official set of documents until the permit is either paid for or documented."

Even though the city has them, White said the average guy on the street couldn't

Tri County Sentry (MARCH 6, 2020) A.indd 2

look at them because they're not considered official at that point.

"It's not like they're trying to hide anything," he said. "That's the way the law is, but, along that same line, every other project I've worked on for 29 years, I've worked closely with owners and architects.

The guys that are paying for the job, the owners, are always working closely with the architect and contractors and have questions, and everything is out in the open."

The group was united and said Anacapa View Condos need a lot of work.

"I truly believe the HOA (Home Owners Association) Board is on our side with that," he said. "There is a situation

here, and they know a lot of stuff has to be done, and what they did is they probably went to Gold Coast and said we've got this project, we're not experts, we're not contractors, can you help us with this?

As far as I know, Gold Coast said we could help you with this; there is a firm that we've used before, Design Build Associates, and they can handle the thing for us."

He called that a good thing.

"They're doing the right thing," he said. "They're on our side."

The owners got a scope of work, he said, which contained a lot of "loopholes and things that weren't addressed.

"After Design Build told me that the contract was going

to be let out to a firm called CAS, I looked it up on the web page, and CAS is Concrete Asphalt Specialties," he said. "I called them and said I think I might have the wrong number because it says concrete and asphalt, and their website shows parking lots and stuff.

They said we're going to be doing that project. We have another division that does general building."

White questioned the perimeter fence, which doesn't appear to be on the plans.

"When I called CAS, they said they were putting up temporary fences during construction to keep people out and make them safe," he said. "It doesn't really say anything on the plans about a perimeter fence."

The fence is not on the plans submitted to the city, he said, and if it's not on the plans, the

contractor can charge extra.

"We'll get a bid, but it is going to cost you more money," he said. "In looking at the scope of work, many of the things on there say replace beams as needed. Typically, you would have a structural engineer come out, walk the property and say I see this one is bad, that one is bad, and give a scope of work, so when it goes out to the contractor, he can plug in the necessary stuff. A lot of these things, to me, don't make a whole lot of sense because they're not addressed as a question to the contractor. Therefore, we don't know what's on there."

He said that some things could run up to $3 million.

"Nobody wants that kind of surprise," he said. "As homeowners, if we knew what the scope of work was, and what was on the plans that were

sent out to bid, the contractor can look at those and make his price based on that."

White acknowledged that there will always be problems and things the contractor didn't see, but if they know in advance that they can see 45 balconies with rot on the outside and that's included in the bid, it says woodwork repair, elevations front, and rear, to all buildings.

"They're saying that's included in the work," he said.

"If a structural engineer goes around and writes a report on the obvious things, that should be put in the original bid. The contingency is for unforeseen items."

At the last homeowners' meeting, White said someone asked what the management fee was going to be, and the answer was 10 percent. n Anacapa View, see page 3

NEWS Public Works & Transportation receives five-year wastewater diversion CIP update

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The Public Works and Transportation Committee received an update on the capital improvement project for the Wastewater Diversion Project on Feb. 25.

I

N 2014, the Public Works Department looked at a comprehensive master plan that looked at the water, wastewater and recycle systems, and the committee reviewed the wastewater portion of the project.

The presentation reviewed the existing facilities, design, and construction.

Wastewater Division Manager Jan Hauser presented the item to the committee, and he said the city did a condition assessment on all the facilities and equipment, as part of the project, and from there, they looked at alternatives for upgrading the system.

"Along with that, there was some cost estimating, so we could get some estimates about what the cost could be," he said. "Finally, we came up with a recommended plan out of the report."

Hauser said the condition assessment was the most troubling, as 80 percent of the facilities were deemed to be in fair, or worse, condition.

He showed the committee a bar graph that showed how the conditions were deteriorating.

When the number of fair facilities increases, then you want to start replacing or updating facilities.

"You really shouldn't have facilities in the poor to very poor condition," he said.

The Capital Improvement Plan broke it down into three phases, he said, with year one and two being near imminent failure and years three through five needing reliability improvements or deemed to be in poor condition and was the baseline of the reliability of the plant.

"Years six through 10 are the longterm modernizations of the plant," he said. "Based on these improvements, a rate study was completed in 2017,

and it incorporated and looked at the first two phases of the recommended plan. Out of that, were annual rate increases over a five-year period.

We've gotten through four of those, and we have one more to go in 2021."

The rate increases included the cost of the improvements in years one through five, Hauser said, as the improvements at the wastewater treatment plant cost just under $52 million. The collection system improvements cost $15 million, and the vehicles and equipment cost approximately $2 million.

"There was $10 million scheduled for consulting services to look into years six through 10," he said. "It was a total of just under $80 million."

So far, the city has completed the co-gen engine refurbishment project, he said, along with completing the laboratory HVAC system.

"The bio tower and solids processing building were completed," he said. "The chemically enhanced primary-treatment project has also been completed. The one project still in process and nearing completion are the primary clarifiers."

Hauser showed the committee a video of city workers replacing belt filter presses.

Phase two of the project replaces much of the electrical system, he said, which he called the most vulnerable part of the plant.

"We have worked at the headworks facility, and it includes odor control improvements," he said. "Odors have been an ongoing issue out there.

There is more work to do at the primary clarifiers, and that includes more odor control."

Additionally, the city will replace the aeration system, Hauser said, which is the critical biological treatment process at the plant.

"We have sight security improvements which include a new fence around the building and cameras," he said. "We have three digesters, and one has been out of service for 15 years, and we'll put that back into service. This is what produces the gas to run the engines that produce energy at the plant."

The city also has pump station upgrades and rehabilitation on the list, plus site piping, which is also essential.

"Some of our piping at the plant is unreliable," he said. "We also have a new maintenance storage building and a new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System.

All these projects have been designed or are nearing completion."

The projects should all be bid out

by July 1 of the fiscal year 2020-2021.

Construction is anticipated to take about two more years," he said.

Hauser reviewed the funding and said the city's bond rating has gone up because of the reserves the city has built up, and they also refinanced some of their debt.

"That saves us about $100,000 per year," he said. "All of the phase one projects have been paid for in cash through our reserves."

During public comments, Former Public Works Director Daniel Rydberg said the completed projects reduced the health and economic risks to the city from the failing wastewater treatment plant.

"These are just stop-gap measures," he said. "The plant needs about a 60 to 70 percent rebuild. This is a mid-20th century plant, not a

21st-century plant. The city will need to continue to educate residents and provide adequate resources to make sure the plant can be fully replaced, in order to protect the health and environment into the future."

During committee member comments, Tim Flynn applauded the visual nature of the report, and he told City Manager Alex Nguyen that the city finance updates brought forward to the Finance and Governance Committee be produced as short clips for the public.

"We have an excellent communication manager, and I think we are well-positioned to try and get the right information out to the public," he said. "This long-term investment in the wastewater plant is just shy of $80 million. To get this plant functioning, we know there were numerous failures at the plant leading up to a lot of these repairs."

He pointed out that the five-year, $25 rate increase funds the project.

"Without trying to politicize what should not be a political issue, I believe that $80 million is a minimum to keep this plant functioning over the next 10-20 years until the city decides if it is going to build a new plant or relocate the plant. If you think about the fact that the proposed alternative from a person who happens to be an accountant was somewhere in the neighborhood or $10 million or $12 million proposal to do what engineers and highly qualified people deemed was a minimal investment of $80 million."

He asked Nguyen to open the plant up to public tours so they can see the progress.

Committee Member Bryan MacDonald asked if the city did anything to address the issue of seepage, and Hauser said no because that would have increased the cost of the project.

"It wasn't leaking that bad," Hauser said.

Committee Chairman Bert Perello asked if the new electrical facilities would be floodproof.

"The new electrical building has been elevated about 3.5 to 4 feet," Hauser said. "That will take it out of any future sea-level rise, flood plain, or any potential flooding hazard in the future."

Anacapa View continued from page 2

"It's going to be about $750,000," he said. "When Design Build was contacted a couple of days later relating to a contractor bid price, we see a price of $6.6 million. The question was, is that the actual bid from the contractor? The answer was yes, and then right after that, it was if that's the contractor's bid price, where is your 10 percent? I don't see it on any of these items here."

He was told there are a lot of factors that go into bidding and contracts, and they "lumped their fee in."

"The question was what was the contractor's price," he said. "We need to know what's in the bid, in detail, so we can

Tri County Sentry (MARCH 6, 2020) A.indd 3

make a decision and not get bit in the end by all the extras."

White said the development made repairs in 2007 on several buildings, and he's noticed on the vertical posts on the stairwells, and the bottom six to 12 inches are dry rotted out.

"It's easy to see and not a problem," he said. "Design Build is saying we're going to tear all that stuff out and replace them.

That's fine, but it is rather costly, and some of the posts have dry rot, and they, for sure, have got to be replaced. Probably not the whole post. On quite a few of them, only the last foot has dry rot. In looking at the previous work that was signed off by the city, and we've got copies of what they did, n Anacapa View, see page 6

Frosted Thoughts

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com What should I write about this week?

I have been sitting around wondering what I should write about, and the one thing I know for sure is that I need a break from the election. So here's the deal about that. If you don't get involved and vote, give us a break.

With that said, what should I write about this week? For a while, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about those people who tailgate you in a 25-mile-per-hour-zone thinking that I will speed up, but I decided it would make more sense to slow down to 23-miles-per-hour and watch them go wild. It's more fun to watch them squeal around me and then smile and wave at them when I catch them at the light.

I was on the 101 freeway the other day, and I had to stop short because some guy put on his blinker in the left lane and wanted to get off at the right lane exit but created a twomile-long jam. Those people are too easy to make fun of, so I'll leave that person alone.

Then I had an epiphany. I'll write about being a middle child. I'm a middle child, and I was never the oldest or the baby. I finally decided against writing the middle child editorial because people will dismiss it and say he's such a middle child.

In the middle of all this, I got an email alert from some software on my computer that says I've written 5.6 million words in the last 18 months. I thought about the solitude I take when I write in the middle of the night, but a cat outside started to howl, and my two dogs came thundering down the stairs and ended all the seclusion.

I thought I could write about the cat, but he used his litter box, and people will make fun of me after my wife and I evacuate the house and call the Hazmat team.

The lady who cuts my hair said I am developing a small bald spot at the top of my head. My first thought was to buy some head polish and look forward to a high shine. I finally decided that it would be better if I took all my wife's hair from the shower drain and turn it into a toupe.

It must be good hair because she has 25 bottles of hair goo in the shower that she pours all over her head.

Finally, I found a solution. I'll talk about the things I do around the house as an empty-nester that propels people to send my wife sympathy wishes on our anniversary.

It's nothing terrible. It's just little things like making the toilet paper upside down on the dispenser or buying the same toothbrush she has or borrowing her comb and toothbrush, but she'll get mad at me.

I try to help her pick out books at the library, but that never works out, even when I grab books about kids and boogers. I guess my literary tastes are different from hers. I thought about all the dirty dishes she leaves on the counter while the empty dishwasher sits four inches away, but my wife says there is nothing about that. I thought about stopping, but I'm already in trouble because a lingerie ad came on the television, and I didn't look away and scream, so I will stop here and rearrange all the dishes and silverware in the kitchen.

I'll find something better to write about next week.

SENIOR Nursing home outbreak spotlights Coronavirus risk in elder care facilities

By JoNel Aleccia Kaiser Health News KIRKLAND, WA—An outbreak of coronavirus disease in a nursing home near Seattle is prompting urgent calls for precautionary tactics at America’s elder care facilities, where residents are at heightened risk of serious complications from the illness because of the dual threat of age and close living conditions.

The emergence of the novel contagious illness at the Life Care Center of Kirkland, Washington, has left one resident dead and four others hospitalized, with three in critical condition, local health officials said late Sunday. A health care worker in her 40s also remained in satisfactory condition. The resident who died was a man in his 70s with underlying health conditions, officials said.

Officials previously said that of the nursing home’s 108 residents and 180 staff members, more than 50 have shown signs of possible COVID-19 infections, the name given the illness caused by a novel coronavirus that emerged from Wuhan, China, late last year. Visits from families, volunteers and vendors have been halted and new admissions placed on hold, according to a statement from Ellie Basham, the center’s executive director.

“Current residents and associates are being monitored closely, and any with symptoms or who were potentially exposed are quarantined,” she wrote.

The cluster of illness is the first of its

type in the U.S., where 2.2 million people live in long-term care settings and may be at heightened risk because of age and underlying health conditions.

“We are very concerned about an outbreak in a setting where there are many older people,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin, health officer for the Seattle and King County public health agency.

The American Health Care Association, which represents 13,500 nonprofit and for-profit facilities for seniors and disabled people, issued updated guidelines Saturday, in response to the Washington outbreak. The new virus is thought to spread primarily via droplets in the air, and the guidelines largely echo strategies recommended to stem the spread of other respiratory viruses, such as influenza. That includes frequent hand sanitation among staff and visitors, grouping people who become ill in the same room or wing, and asking family members who are sick to avoid inperson visits.

But members had been anticipating cases of the new virus, said Dr. David Gifford, AHCA’s chief medical officer and senior vice president of quality and regulatory affairs.

“Clearly, it signaled that it’s here and that what people knew was likely to come is closer to them than before,” he said.

COVID-19 has been identified in more than 85,000 people worldwide and led to nearly 3,000 deaths, including the first U.S. death reported Saturday in another Washington state man in his 50s.

That man was not associated with the Kirkland nursing center, officials said.

Studies of hospitalized patients in China suggest the median age of infection is in the 50s and that about 80% of COVID-19 cases are mild. However, a new summary in the journal JAMA reported that the virus has a case fatality rate of 1% to 2% overall—and as high as 8% to 15% in older patients in China.

That is alarming news for U.S. residents in long-term care settings, where illnesses caused by more common pathogens like norovirus and seasonal influenza often spread rapidly among residents, causing severe complications. Immune response wanes as people age, leaving them more vulnerable to infections of all types.

Dr. Karl Steinberg, a geriatrician who serves as medical director for two nursing homes and as chief medical officer for a chain of 20 others in Southern California, said the news of COVID-19 cases at the Washington state nursing center is worrisome.

“That’s very scary,” Steinberg said. “It worries me that once it gets going, it will be really hard to control the spread.”

The situation may be akin to the spread of coronavirus on cruise ships, such as the Diamond Princess that was quarantined off the coast of Japan, with one key exception, Steinberg said. People on cruise ships can be confined to their rooms with minimal interaction with staff and fellow residents. People in nursing centers are there because they n Nursing, see page 11

COMMENTARY: OUT TO PASTOR In my humble opinion Dr. James L. Snyder It was a busy week last week. I was chasing my tail so much, I thought I would actually catch it. What I would do after I caught it is beyond my imagination.

However, I was quite busy, and then the mail came.

Whenever the mail comes, I’m always expecting “the check.”

Rarely do I get it, but my expectation is that I will get a $10,000 check. I don’t know from whom.

“What are you going to the mailbox for?” The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage would ask. “Are you looking for your $10,000 check?”

One of these days, I am going to get a $10,000 check and rub it in her face before I take it to the bank.

This time the mail brought me a package from one of my relatives. It turned out to be old pictures of my family from decades ago. Most of them were black-and-white, so you can imagine how old they were.

As I was going through these photographs, I could hardly recognize most of them. According to the letter in the package, they were my relatives. Most had been dead for 40 to 50 years.

I cannot remember what I had for breakfast this morning, let alone a relative 50 years ago.

Then I hit that “aha” moment. There was a picture of a relative I had long ago forgotten about. Why I forgot about him, I will never know. He actually died almost 50 years ago.

When I saw that picture, I had to call my wife over to show her.

“This is a picture of Uncle Frank.” I leaned back and smiled, thinking of him and all the antics associated with him.

“Have I ever met your Uncle Frank?”

I looked at my wife, smiled, and said, "No, my dear, you would have remembered him if you did."

The memories of good old Uncle Frank began marinating in my head, and stories began developing. If anybody could screw up a situation, it was good old Uncle Frank.

He was a good person in many regards; very congenial and generous and happy all the time. However, his timing was not really that good, and what he said never aligned with what was happening at the time.

His wife, Aunt Betty, always got frustrated at her husband when he was interrupting her conversations. He did that quite often, much to her chagrin. And believe me, her “cha” didn't grin that much.

In the middle of a conversation, Uncle Frank would break in and say, “In my humble opinion…” Then he would take the n Commentary, see page 11

SENIOR LIVING | MENTAL HEALTH

Overcome the Winter Blues If you live in a region that experiences brutal winters, you likely have found yourself in a sour mood at times. The change in moods is normal and known as SAD, or seasonal affective disorder.

The National Institutes of Health has funded research to learn more about the disease for nearly three decades.

What they found may open your eyes and help discover what’s behind your seasonal blues.

• Those suffering from SAD often lose interest in activities they usually enjoy, leading to a gloomy outlook and an increase in irritability.

• SAD is diagnosed in women four times more often than men.

• About 1% of the population in Florida suffer from SAD, whereas, about 10 percent experience it in the northernmost area of the United States, in Alaska.

white sheer fabric coverings to let the light inside.

Consider rearranging your furniture, so incoming brightness is easily viewable in high-traffic areas.

Another idea is to update the color of your walls. If you have wood paneling or dark-colored drywall, hire a painting crew to re-coat it in a

soft white color that fits your current interior design.

STAY ACTIVE

Once the weather is warmer, take your exercise routine outdoors. Consider going on a hike at a public park or jog around the neighborhood.

The experts at Help Guide International state physical

activity can improve mental health in seniors by improving sleep and releasing mood-enhancing endorphins.

The result often reduces feelings of sadness, depression and anxiety.

SOCIALIZE

During the winter, it’s likely that you spent a lot of time

indoors and missed out on important socializing activities. Consider spring temperatures as an opportunity to get outside and visit with your friends and peers to boost your mood.

Visit coffee shops, partake in team sports or volunteer at a charity event like a 5K or community cleanup.

SENIOR The Savvy Senior

Simple things you can do to help stop Medicare fraud Senior couple lost in woods survived on muddy water, fern fronds INVERNESS, Calif.

(AP)—A couple who went missing in the woods of Northern California for a week survived by drinking from a muddy puddle and eating fern fronds, said rescuers who had given up hopes of finding them alive.

Carol Kiparsky, 77, and Ian Irwin, 72, were found Saturday in a densely forested area near Tomales Bay, a narrow inlet about 30 miles (48 kilometers) miles north of San Francisco, and were airlifted to a hospital for treatment of hypothermia.

The couple's rescue was the first of two dramatic rescues over the weekend.

Crews on Sunday found a missing man in central California, four days after his car got stuck in heavy snow.

The Marin County Sheriff 's Office said in a statement Sunday that the couple was not ready for interviews, but that they were in “amazing spirits and expressed gratitude to everyone.”

When Quincy Webster, an 18-yearold volunteer with the sheriff 's search and rescue team, and dog handler Rich Cassens and his golden retriever Groot found the couple Saturday holding hands, they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing, the Marin Independent Journal reported.

“We looked at each other, we're like, we were not expecting this at all,” Webster said.

“We started crashing through the brush as much as possible. We were yelling to them to hold on, we're coming,” he said.

When Webster and Cassens reached the couple, weak and bloody, the husband had one question: “Are you real? Are you really real?”

Kiparsky and Irwin were last seen Feb. 14 at a vacation cottage near Inverness, a town at the foot of the bay. The couple from Palo Alto never checked out the next day as planned and failed to show up for an appointment on Feb. 16.

Webster and Cassens—who spent a half hour with the couple before they were airlifted out—and Michael St. John, the unit leader of the volunteers, who spoke with the couple Saturday night at MarinHealth Medical Center, recounted what it took to bring the couple home.

On Valentine's Day the couple, who knew the area, went for a hike before returning home. But with the moon waning and the thick canopy of pines and oaks overhead, darkness fell early and the couple was quickly lost.

“They found themselves on their hands and knees, crawling, off the trail in the brush,” and became mired in thickets of coyote brush, blackberry vines and poison oak, St. John said.

The brush on the wide peninsula of hilly terrain is so dense that it swallowed up a radio and GPS monitor that rescuers dropped in the ensuing days, sucked out the sound of the searchers' plaintive calls through loudspeakers at night, and absorbed any pleas for help that parabolic microphones were set up to capture.

In central California, rescuers on Sunday found Cody King, who had been missing since his car got stuck in the snow near Shaver Lake in Fresno County and he tried to hike out of the area.

A day earlier in Marin County, rescuers Webster and Cassens, a 51-yearold dog handler from the California Rescue Dog Association, headed to a drainage area close to a beach.

For two hours, they forged over, under and through the brush.

They followed a narrow deer trail briefly before it was consumed by undergrowth and that's when they heard the bewildered “hello.”

By Karen Fletcher California Health Advocates Let’s make Medicare stronger for all of us.

Did you know that fraud costs Medicare an estimated $60-90 billion each year? This fraud fundamentally damages the Medicare program by raising the cost of healthcare for everyone.

It is vitally important to root out fraud, and Medicare needs your help!

PROTECT Protecting your personal information is the best line of defense in the fight against Medicare fraud and abuse. Take an active role in protecting your healthcare benefits: Protect your personal information.

Guard your Medicare, Social Security and bank account numbers numbers carefully. Don’t give these to anyone over the phone or in person, unless you initiated the conversation, you know the person, and you write down their name, number and title.

Don’t leave your Medicare number in a phone message, and don’t carry your Medicare card unless you will need it. Only take it to doctor’s appointments, visits to your hospital or clinic, or trips to the pharmacy.

Don’t accept offers of money, free food or gifts for medical care.

Watch out for incentives like “It’s free!” or “We know how to bill Medicare.”

Don’t accept any offer of “free” services or supplies in return for your Medicare number.

Don’t accept medical supplies from door-to-door salespeople.

Medicare will never call or visit to sell you anything.

Don’t let anyone convince you to see a doctor for a service you don’t need.

Keep track of your doctor visits, tests and procedures by taking notes in a healthcare journal or calendar.

DETECT Even when you do everything right, there is a chance that you could be a target of fraud.

Detect fraud by examining both the Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) you receive from Medicare

after your claims are paid, and the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) you receive from your Part C and/ or Part D plan.

Did you receive all the services/ prescriptions listed?

Were you billed for something you didn’t get?

Did your doctor order these services?

Do the prescriptions listed match your prescriptions?

Were you billed for the same thing twice?

Are the dates of the services/ prescriptions correct?

Are the dollar amounts shown the same as those on your bill?

REPORT If you suspect fraud in your healthcare, report it!

Call the health care provider listed on the Medicare Summary Notice or Explanation of Benefits and inquire about the questionable item(s). In many cases, it may be the result of a billing error, which can easily be corrected.

If your question is not resolved and you still think the charges are fraudulent, call our California Senior Medicare Patrol: 1-855613-7080.

You can also contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General: 1-800-4478477. Your SMP counselor will help you determine if this step is necessary.

Have your Medicare Summary Notice and/or Part D Explanation of Benefits ready when you call.

83-year-old might have been longest-lived heart transplant patient

By Andy Tsubasa Field BISMARCK, N.D. (AP)—Two years ago, an Iowa man whom Guinness World Records had named the longest-surviving heart transplant patient died 34 years after receiving his new heart.

Records like this cause friends of Richard Gullickson, of rural Center, to believe he might be one of the longest-surviving heart transplant patients alive today, reported the Bismarck Tribune.

Gullickson, who turned 83 this month, received his lifesaving surgery 29 years ago at the University of Minnesota's Health Transplant Care facility—the same provider that cared for the Guinness record holder.

“Up to today, still no complications.

Never had no rejections, nothing,” said Gullickson, who receives a health checkup every six months at Bismarck's Sanford Health. “I was just down this last May and went to test all day, and all the numbers were right. So I've been truly blessed with the way it's turned out.”

Heart transplant patients who receive new organs before the age of 55 and get them at hospitals that perform at least nine heart transplants annually are “significantly more likely” to survive at least 10 years after their surgeries, according to a 2012 John Hopkins University study.

Gullickson received his heart transplant at age 53. The retired farmer kept in touch with two other patients, from Chicago and Rapid City, who had their surgeries the same time he did.

They lived until about 10 years after their operations.

“They made their 10 years and that was it,” he said.

Gullickson began experiencing

difficulties breathing five years before his surgery. His skin was pale and he was fatigued.

“I had no ambition, couldn't do much anymore,” he said. “Recliner to the bathroom, back to the recliner. I wouldn't have lasted much longer, actually.”

Up until 1990, he regularly visited Medcenter One Health Systems, the former site of Sanford Health. He learned he had congenital heart disease—a rare abnormality in the heart that develops before birth.

“I was doctoring and then I got to a point where (the doctor) said, well, you need a transplant,” Gullickson said.

At the time, the closest hospital performing heart transplants was at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

He moved to an apartment in the Twin Cities with his family for the operation. He couldn't drive and had to go to the clinic every

day for three months.

“It was a lot harder on my wife than it was for me by far. She had to do all the running and find a place to live, and she was working,” Gullickson said. “My mother came and stayed and a couple friends came and stayed with me and so forth.”

At the University of Minnesota, Gullickson was treated by Sara Shumway, the daughter of heart transplant pioneer Norman Shumway, who was the first doctor to perform an adult human-tohuman heart transplant. The heart Gullickson received belonged to a “young lad” who died in a car accident, he said.

Doctors began to notice the results of his surgery were unusual after the eight-hour operation.

“I could jump over the moon,” Gullickson said. “My dentist always gets a kick out of that because the next morning I was sitting on the edge of my bed

brushing my teeth eight hours later.”

Rehabilitation was a “piece of cake,” Gullickson said. When doctors asked him to climb three stairs, he could climb a whole story. After climbing stairs backwards, Gullickson gained the nickname, “The Miracle on Sixth Floor.” About a dozen interns and doctors training at the university medical school would examine him every day.

“There was a line of young doctors so my therapist, she had enough of that,” Gullickson said.

“So when they'd come, she'd say, ‘He's got to go to therapy today.”'

“They couldn't believe it,” he said.

After a few months, doctors decided he didn't need to undergo rehabilitation. He returned to Center on Thanksgiving Day. Today, Gullickson lives on his farm with his son and daughter—a place he's lived his whole life except for when he served in the Army and was posted in West Germany from 1956-58.

He feels he is in good health, but the medication he takes to prevent heart rejection can be a nuisance, he said. The pills often cause his joints to become stiff and prompt the development of corns, a type of callus made of dead skin—which a doctor in Bismarck freezes off.

“I'm fortunate I've got family around me so they help me when I need help,” he said.

Gullickson often plays cards with his friends at the senior citizen center, the Golden Age Club.

One of his friends, Sherry Cotton, said she researched other living heart transplant patients.

She hasn't found one who has lived with a donated heart as long as Gullickson.

NEWS Tim Flynn and Carmen Ramirez continued from page 1

"We've also done some phone calling for poll voters to remind them to get to the polls today," O'Riley said. "We've also done some texting, and we continue to text and call out of our Camarillo office."

He stayed close to the phone and took calls from people who have trouble with their ballots.

People were calling and saying they want to vote for Ramirez, but O'Riley said she wasn't on the ballot.

"Typically, they're in the wrong district," he said.

The one thing he's learned from this campaign is no matter how strong the candidate is, there will always

be someone who comes out who is bigger and stronger who will spread lies.

"I've learned that big ugly dirty oil companies are disgusting, and they will stop at nothing to gain control of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors," he said.

Stephanie Balik and Lorraine Effres came out to try and troubleshoot any problems at the polls.

"We're making sure that everything is running as it should, and voters are voting for the Democrat of the future," Balik said.

She is ready to tell the oil companies goodbye.

"As well as the misogynist,

sociopath, criminal and dictator," she said. "I enjoy walking up to people who want to vote for the other side and say, gee, I didn't know you have stock in the oil company."

Effres planned to visit the polls and make sure they are working correctly.

"We've already been notified of issues that have come up at various polls, and it has been referred to the county division of elections," she said.

"I'm going to visit those polls and make sure it was a onetime thing, and not an ongoing problem. We often get phone calls about things that seem to have gone wrong."

It surprised her to see how

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: MARCH MADNESS

much money the oil companies put into the campaign.

"The techniques they used were ones we hadn't seen before in Ventura County," she said. "You would see an ad in the digital version of the New York Times, and you'd see the person they're supporting.

The push polls were the first indication that it was going to get ugly."

At the Rio Rasales School, Election Volunteer Jess Sherchan said the turnout was light, but he expected a bigger crowd after 4 p.m. after people got off work.

"A big chunk of people vote by mail because they don't have the time, he said. "Voting is quick and simple." After the polls closed, members of the GOOD Club took the night off, watched the election returns,

and had some fun.

Ramirez learned that she couldn't take anything for granted, including your friends.

"You have to work hard for every vote," she said. "You also have to anticipate that people who don't want you to win will stoop low, tell lies and slanders against you, and it's perfectly legal, unfortunately."

Ramiez's husband, Roy Prince, tells her not to work so hard.

"He cooks dinner for me," she said. "He's a bit of a nag."

She plans a trip to Stoney Brook, New York, to visit her niece after the election.

"I hope there's still air travel in me," she said.

Prince reiterated that Carmen likes coming home to a nice dinner.

"For the last week, or so, I

have been doing my best to make it a reality," he said. "I make her a spinach and chicken dish. She also likes salad, pasta, and all those good things."

He and Carmen are thinking about a trip to Ajo, Arizona.

"It gets pretty crazy, even when she's not running," he said.

Michael Auclair said he's seen people acting stressed throughout the day.

"I sent my ballot in, and now I'll wait and see," he said.

"Hopefully, we'll get some positive results."

Jon Huycke supports Bernie Sanders, and he was happy with the results.

"We'll see," Huycke said.

"It may be a toss-up between Bernie and Joe Biden, as long as it’s not the guy currently in the White House."

Construction Supervisor Lee McElvaney said they haven't yet seen the plans and don't know what the scope of work is, which is different from what he sees.

"When a job gets handed to me, I have a complete scope of work," he said. "The plans dictate what we're doing, and if they don't, we're asking questions. In the proposal state,

there are a lot of questions that get asked. We haven't seen the plans, the board hasn't seen them, and that's a huge factor.

When a job gets handed to me, it is completely vetted. We don't know what we're paying for here. This is a large amount of money. I want a second opinion, and I want to know what I am going to get for that dollar amount."

ballot, they did something really sneaky.

Instead of placing our term limits measure on the November 2020 ballot, the Oxnard City Council –– at the recommendation of the city attorney –– voted to adopt our measure, knowing that the already-printed voter guide would then incorrectly inform voters that Measure B “imposes” term limits.

Of course, the City Council adopted our citizen-sponsored term limits measure into law effective January 21 not because they actually WANTED strict term limits.

They did this to KILL strict term limits.

The City Council understood that Measure B’s looser term limits (of twelve years) –– if adopted March 3 –– would then OVERRIDE our stricter term limits (of eight years).

We’re certain that the City Council thought they had shrewdly outmaneuvered Oxnard’s voters. But we’re

here to tell you that they actually made a legal blunder.

You see –– as is the case with the City Council’s Measure B –– our citizen-sponsored term limits initiative ALSO extends the term of Mayor from two years to four years.

So, the City Council did not have the authority to enact our term limits measure in January for the same reason they couldn't adopt their Measure B back in October.Their only LEGAL option was to place our term limits measure on the November 2020 ballot.

So, once again, we will need lawyers to protect Oxnard residents from City Hall’s repressive –– though sometimes incompetent –– game playing.

Unfortunately, even if Measure B fails in Tuesday’s election, we will still need to seek a court order acknowledging that what the council did with our term limits measure violated the law ... and order them to place our measure on the November 2020 ballot.

If we don’t go to court, you can bet that in about eight years a future mayor or council member will successfully argue to a judge that the council wrongly enacted our term limits measure –– meaning that we could once again have no term limits at all.

We are tired of the perpetual need for attorneys.

Sadly, the Oxnard City Council continues to engage in unlawful behavior to steamroll the public … and the courts are our only recourse to protect the People’s rights.

The reason is California Elections Code Section 9217, which states: “… No ordinance that is either proposed by initiative petition and adopted by the vote of the legislative body of the city without submission to the voters, or adopted by the voters, shall be repealed or amended except by a vote of the people, unless provision is otherwise made in the original ordinance.”

That makes sense. After all, the City Council does not have more power than the people who democratically voted them into office.

So, why is that relevant?

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 855 238-5118 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-19872727-AB. 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.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by James Chambers in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that James Chambers be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 3/19/2020 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

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

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

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

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

woman in Solano County, California, who hadn’t traveled abroad or had contact with another known patient with the illness was diagnosed with the virus Wednesday, raising concerns that cases are going undetected because of the federal government’s narrow testing protocols.

The patient sought care at a local hospital before being transferred to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento because of the severity

of her case, according to a letter hospital officials sent to members of the campus community. Suspecting coronavirus, doctors at UC Davis asked public health officials about testing for COVID-19, the name given to the illness believed to have originated in Wuhan, China.

But the request did not meet protocols laid out by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: The woman didn’t have a history of travel or contact with a person with a known infection. So no test was administered. The patient continued to receive treatment at UC Davis for four more days, without a diagnosis. Finally, on Sunday, the CDC requested the test, according to the letter.

It came back positive.

Multiple experts interviewed said the case underscores the need for more widespread community testing of the new coronavirus, which has sickened tens of thousands of people in more than 45 nations around the globe. It also

highlights how the CDC’s narrow testing protocols, combined with the agency’s continued delays in getting functional coronavirus test kits to state and local public health

agencies, have hindered the public health system’s ability to respond to the outbreak.

To date, the CDC has tested fewer than 500 people in the U.S.

for the virus. By contrast, South Korea, which is several days into an outbreak, had tested more than 66,000 people and confirmed more than 1,700 cases as of last Thursday.

CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS Large cargo shipping industry cancels Long Beach conference LONG BEACH—A trade conference for the cargo shipping industry, set to open Sunday at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Long Beach with more than 2,000 participants, has been canceled amid continued concerns about the novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, organizers said.

“In light of growing concerns around COVID-19, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel #TPM20 and #ElDorado20 this year, officials with the Journal of Commerce, which sponsors the event, posted on Twitter late Saturday.

IHS Markit, which publishes the New York-based trade publication, further said in a statement on its website that it “has an absolute commitment to the health and safety of our customers, partners and colleagues. Given the deteriorating situation regarding the spread of the COVID-19 disease, unfortunately it is necessary to cancel TPM20 scheduled for March 1-4, 2020.

“This decision was made following recent guidance from health officials and in light of the rapid growth in global cases of COVID-19, in particular in the Western United States over the past 24 hours, as well as increasing travel restrictions and other circumstances.”

The cancellation came shortly after it was confirmed that a man in the state of Washington had become the first person in the U.S. to die from the disease that has killed more

than 2,900 people worldwide, with the heaviest concentration in China Last week, the World Health Organization increased its Covid-19 risk assessment to “very high at a global level,” as nearly 50 countries report cases within their borders.

“We are on the highest level of alert or highest level of risk assessment in terms of spread and in terms of impact,” Mike Ryan, executive director of the organization’s health emergencies program, said. “The agency isn’t trying to incite panic.

This is a reality check for every government on the planet: Wake up, get ready, this virus may be on its way and you need to be ready.”

On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced new travel restrictions involving Iran and warnings about travel to parts of Italy and South Korea, where high virus activity has been detected.

Multiple airlines have suspended

or reduced flights to China and Hong Kong, and United Airlines has halted flights to Japan and Singapore.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health advised travelers to talk with their doctors before traveling “to make sure you have received the recommended vaccines and medications specific to your destination.”

Several other conferences and events scheduled for March have also been canceled as a precaution, most notably the Game Developers Conference, which was set for March 16-20 in San Francisco and usually attracts more than 30,000 gaming industry professionals.

The Trans-Pacific Merchants conference has been a mainstay in Long Beach, having held 19 of its past 20 events there with delegates, historically, reserving up to 5,000 room nights, according to the Long Beach Post website.

WASHINGTON (AP)— Most American adults need to be checked for hepatitis C, say guidelines released Monday that urge millions more people to get screened for the liver-damaging virus that can fester for decades it’s spotted.

The call for expanded screening for Americans ages 18 to 79 is the first since 2013 when U.S. health authorities urged all baby boomers to get a one-time hepatitis C test because that age group appeared at particularly high risk.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said Monday that hepatitis C is on the rise because of the opioid crisis, prompting the recommendation to expand testing.

Finding infection early is critical now that drugs are available that cure most people after two to three months of treatment. And the price of those costly medications has dropped sharply in recent years.

Authorities estimate that only about half of people with hepatitis C know they’re infected.

The task force concluded that more widespread screening would be cost-saving, giving its recommendation a rating that requires insurance companies to

need help with activities of daily living, he noted.

In the Washington state center, Duchin said, officials are advising health workers to separate cohorts of sick patients from those who remain well and to don personal protective gear, including eye protection, to avoid infection. “It’s a very challenging environment with so many vulnerable patients to manage an outbreak,” he said.

Duchin urged older people and those with health conditions such as heart disease, lung disease and diabetes to pay close attention to precautions such as washing hands frequently, keeping their hands away from their faces and avoiding people who show signs of illness.

Just-released guidelines from the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine call for increasing hand hygiene, isolating infected patients and making plans to ensure that health care workers

cover testing without patient copays.

About 2.4 million people in the U.S. are living with hepatitis C, and there were an estimated 44,700 new infections in 2017 alone, the task force reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

That’s largely due to the opioid epidemic: The most rapid increase in infections over the past decade has been in young adults, 20- to 39-year-olds who inject drugs, the task force found. Sharing needles is the main way that hepatitis C spreads in the U.S. “It is time to revisit the effective but now outdated baby boomer screening recommendations, and the updated recommendations ... are welcome,” Drs. Camilla Graham of Harvard Medical School and Stacey Trooskin of the University of Pennsylvania wrote in an accompanying editorial.

They weren’t involved in the guidelines, but cautioned that in addition to virus testing, greater access to hepatitis C treatment and addiction treatment are needed.

While there’s limited information on hepatitis C infections in teens, the task force said doctors may consider screening those known to be at risk because of past or current drug use.

stay home if they’re sick. The guidelines also call for screening visitors and daily temperature checks for residents and staff.

Individual centers should remain in close contact with local health officials about appropriate actions, Gifford said. Authorities— and families—should think carefully before taking steps such as removing patients from nursing centers during an outbreak.

“Evacuating a facility is not a benign event,” he said, noting that moving can be traumatic to frail and elderly people. The nursing home cases are examples of community transmission of the virus, which has now been detected in California, Oregon and Washington. None of the hospitalized people had a known history of travel to other nations where the virus is spreading or contact with a traveler diagnosed with the illness.

However, Seattle researchers

reported late Saturday that new genomic analysis suggests the virus may have been spreading in Washington state since midJanuary, when a 35-year-old Snohomish County man who had visited Wuhan, China, was confirmed as the first U.S. case of the infection.

“This strongly suggests that there has been cryptic transmission in Washington state for the past 6 weeks,” tweeted Trevor Bedford, a computational biologist at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, who is tracking the virus.

He estimated there could be “a few hundred” infections in the state.

At least 70 cases of coronavirus infection have been confirmed or presumed positive in the U.S., and officials with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Americans should expect to hear more reports of illness in the coming days and weeks.

The new Washington cases and the first reported U.S. deaths were identified only after the CDC expanded the definition of who could be tested for the virus and after states and hospitals were given more leeway and supplies to conduct their own tests.

“What that says to us is that as we test more, we’re more likely to find cases of the disease,” Duchin said.

A team from the CDC has been sent to help local and state health officials investigate the Life Care Center outbreak. “We have a large investigation ahead of us, a complicated investigation ahead of us,” Duchin said. In the meantime, Steinberg said he and others will take precautions to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19 cases in long-term care settings and act swiftly to contain them, if necessary.

“I guess there’s not much to do but hunker down and hope it’s not too bad,” he said.

conversation off in the direction nobody could have ever expected. He had the knack of messing up conversations to the point that nobody knew what anybody was talking about.

If, for example, somebody was talking about politics, Uncle Frank would say, "In my humble opinion, the Red Sox are going to win the World Series…" And for the next five or six minutes, he would be talking about baseball, which had nothing whatsoever to do with the conversation he interrupted. By the time he was done, nobody could remember what in the world they were talking about before.

I never really knew if Uncle Frank did that on purpose or if it just came naturally to him. I would have liked to have gotten to know him a little better because I am suspicious that he did it most of the time on purpose.

One time, I wish that I could have been there then, it all came to a head.

I think it was in a church setting, but a group of people was together talking about something. I do not know what the conversation was about, and I wish I‘d been there. But it was at that point that everything came to a head with good old Uncle Frank.

Weinstein juror: #MeToo movement was not a factor in trial NEW YORK (AP)—The jury that convicted H a r v e y Weinstein of rape and sex assault did not consider the trial's implications for the (hash)MeToo movement, one of the jurors said in an interview aired Friday.

“No, zero, absolutely zero,” juror Drew Malbin said on “CBS This Morning.” “Because it's not the job and it's not what we were asked to do.”

He added, “It would be an adulteration of the process to take outside factors and have that weigh on our decision-making process and eventual findings.”

Weinstein, 67, was found guilty of raping an aspiring actress in a New York City hotel room in 2013 and sexually assaulting production assistant Mimi Haleyi at his apartment in 2006. He faces the possibility of years in prison when he is sentenced in March.

Malbin, who was identified in the CBS interview by his first name alone, said the jury took pains to make a decision based on the law and the evidence.

He said the actress' testimony about the 2013 assault warranted a guilty verdict on the charge of third-degree rape, a lesser charge than the first-degree conviction sought by prosecutors.

“It wasn't rape in the first degree,” Malbin said. “There was no physical compulsion with the threat of bodily harm or death. But there was no consent given, despite a lack of physical resistance, and a reasonable person should have known that there was no consent given in that instance.”

Weinstein has said that any sexual contact was consensual. His lawyers have promised to appeal the conviction.

At the outset of the trial, Judge James Burke cautioned jurors: “This trial is not a referendum on the (hash)MeToo movement.”

Weinstein, the former Hollywood mogul, has an injured back and other health problems and has been in Bellevue Hospital's wing for prisoners while awaiting transfer to New York City's Rikers Island jail complex.

Asked by CBS' Gayle King whether Weinstein should be in jail, Malbin said, “That's not for me to say.”

“You know, I could say that a man of his age and of his current health, the general population at Rikers sounds like a pretty dangerous place,” Malbin said.

Also Friday, a newly unsealed court transcript showed that Weinstein's lawyers wanted the jury foreman kicked off the case for smiling at prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon as he left the courtroom after a tense day of deliberations. Illuzzi didn't respond to the juror.

Weinstein lawyer Damon Cheronis asked for Bernard Cody's removal on Feb. 21, just after the jury sent a note indicating it was deadlocked on the two most serious charges but had reached a unanimous verdict on other ones.

“As we were leaving, Ms. Illuzzi was sitting in her chair. Juror one walked up and looked in her direction, smiled, and said have a great or good weekend,” Cheronis complained in a previously sealed discussion at the judge's bench.

“I think that is problematic, to say the least,” the lawyer added.

Burke denied Cheronis' request to remove Cody from the jury, saying: “Nothing wrong with juror one, who was simply smiling when he left the courtroom.”

The transcript of the exchange was provided to reporters who complained that court officers were wrong to shoo them from the courtroom while the discussion was being had.

After a weekend off, jurors took just two more hours of deliberations to reach a verdict on all charges. Afterward, Cody told reporters the process was “devastating.” He didn't elaborate.

The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sex crimes unless they grant permission, as Haleyi did.

ENTERTAINMENT Chris Matthews retires from MSNBC, cites comments to women

By David Bauder NEW YORK (AP)— Longtime MSNBC host Chris Matthews abruptly retired from his “Hardball” show on Monday, apologizing for making inappropriate comments about women and following a brutal week where he also took heat from supporters of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

H

IS exit came after a weekend of discussions with his bosses, three days after GQ ran a column by a freelance journalist about her “own sexist run-in” with Matthews in the makeup room before appearing on his show.

Matthews opened his program Monday with the announcement, talking in his familiar staccato style, that he was ending his run on the political talk show he started in 1997. After a commercial break, he was replaced in the anchor chair by a shaken Steve Kornacki.

“This is the last ‘Hardball' on MSNBC, and obviously this isn't for lack of interest in politics,” Matthews said.

He said that “compliments on a woman's appearance that some men, including me, might have incorrectly thought were OK were never OK. Not then, and certainly not today, and for making such comments in the past, I'm sorry.”

The 74-year-old Matthews, who underwent prostate surgery last year, worked as a speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter and was top aide to House Speaker Thomas “Tip” O'Neill before turning to journalism as Washington bureau chief for the San Francisco Examiner. He had been talking to MSNBC management about retiring after the election, but he didn't survive until Super Tuesday.

He apologized last Monday for likening Sanders' win in the Nevada caucus two nights earlier to the Nazi takeover of France.

On Friday's show, he confused the identities of South Carolina Senate candidate Jaime Harrison and Sen. Tim Scott, both black men.

And he was criticized for an uncomfortable interview with Warren following the presidential debate, asking if she believed Mike Bloomberg was lying when he denied telling a pregnant female employee of his news company to terminate the pregnancy.

“Why would she lie? Warren said.

In her first-person story GQ story released Friday, journalist Laura Bassett said Matthews behaved inappropriately toward her when she was guest on his show in 2016.

In the makeup room prior to the show, Matthews looked at her and said “why haven't I fallen in love with you yet?” she wrote.

“When I laughed nervously and said nothing, he followed up to

the makeup artist. ‘Keep putting makeup on her, I'll fall in love with her,”' Bassett wrote. “Another time, he stood between me and the mirror and complimented the red dress I was wearing for the segment. ‘You going out tonight?' he asked.”

Bassett said she written about the encounter in a 2017 essay but didn't name Matthews because she was afraid of network retaliation, adding, “I'm not anymore.”

It was noticed by outsiders when Matthews didn't appear on MSNBC's coverage of the South Carolina primary on Saturday night.

Crew members backstage at “Hardball” on Monday learned of their boss' exit about an hour and a half before Matthews' statement.

There were audible gasps in the green room from guests waiting to go on for the first segment when they listened to the announcement the same time as viewers. Shortly after he made his statement, Matthews left the studio with his wife and family.

MSNBC said there will be

rotating subs in the time slot before a permanent replacement is named for the host that has been a mainstay of the network's lineup since two years after MSNBC launched.

Even before his last week, there were some discontent among Sanders supporters about Matthews' lack of enthusiasm for their candidate, putting the news network that appeals to a liberal audience at odds with a potential liberal presidential nominee.

Kornacki, at the end of Monday's show, said he watched the show as a teenager.

“Chris has plenty of intellect but he also was willing to wear his heart on his sleeve,” he said. “That's what made him compelling viewing.”

Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker tweeted that she's writing an angry column about his exit.

“Chris Matthews is a friend of mine,” she wrote. “He and I have flirted unabashedly for 20 years. This is an atrocious end to a noble, happy-warrior career. I will continue to be his friend.”

Nazi cautionary dramas wade into political, factual disputes

By Lynn Elber LOS ANGELES (AP)— Hollywood mustered its creative forces in the 1940s when Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany sought to conquer the world, with Humphrey Bogart standing up to the fascist regime in “Casablanca” and director Ernst Lubitsch mocking it and its dictator in “To Be or Not to Be.” More than 70 years later, an increase in hate crimes, emboldened white supremacists and political upheaval have prompted TV and film makers to revisit Nazism. The works are varied and their receptions mixed, but they share a goal: to use fiction to learn from 20thcentury totalitarianism and its horrors, including the Holocaust that claimed the lives of 6 million Jews.

In Amazon's “Hunters,” an unlikely group of 1970s New Yorkers target German Nazis who have brought their genocidal quest to America. HBO's “The Plot Against America” is based on Philip Roth's novel that posits a repressive early 1940s U.S. government led by Charles Lindbergh, the real-life aviation hero and anti-Semitic isolationist.

The Oscar-winning “Jojo Rabbit” is in Lubitsch's satirical mode, deepened by tragedy.

Preceding them was “The Man in the High Castle,” the 2015-19 Amazon series based on Philip K. Dick's sci-fi novel of the same name about a fallen America ruled by WWII victors Germany and Japan.

The war has had other screen comebacks. During the political and social turmoil of the mid- to late-1960s, cynical and irreverent films including “King Rat” and “What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?” were released alongside traditional battle epics such as the star-laden “Battle of the Bulge.”

“We seem to have waves of interest in both the Holocaust and World War II, not always at the same time,” said Sharon Willis, a film scholar and professor at the University of Rochester in New York. “I feel that, collectively, we

return to these terrains when we have some kind of problem to work out that we think is related to them.”

David Simon, executive producer of “The Plot Against America,” unabashedly labels the six-episode series debuting March 16 “a political piece.” The cast includes Winona Ryder and John Turturro, and early reviews were admiring.

“It's a critique of xenophobia and demagoguery and the use of ‘the other,' the fear of ‘the other' to drive political power and to create a political dynamic,” Simon said, a pattern that he said predates President Donald Trump. “The demonization of the immigrant cohort has been going on for as long as the republic.”

Ironically, he'd originally

passed on bringing Roth's novel to the screen because it appeared irrelevant.

“The first time somebody approached me about the adaptation was in 2013, right after (President Barack) Obama's second inauguration. And I thought to myself that it seemed like an artifact” in an increasingly inclusive society, Simon said. The subsequent election and its results forced him to reconsider that view, he said, citing restrictive immigration policies as an area of profound concern.

The late Roth's book proved “allegorical to what we're dealing with now, and the vulnerable cohorts now are not necessarily Jewish Americans, although anti-Semitism has increased,” Simon said. “The real vulnerable (groups) are people with Black and brown skin, immigrants and Muslims.”

As for why he's asking viewers to seek clarity in the rear-view mirror, Simon said that history provides a sturdy, well-vetted foundation on which to build a meaningful allegory. “If we can't apply it to the future, then all that history is pretty useless,” he said.

David Weil, creator of “Hunters” starring Al Pacino and Logan Lerman, shares Simon's belief in the power of such storytelling.
