Oxnard-- For the most part, my life is pretty mundane. While it is true that I have an atypical job, followed up with bookkeeping and assisting customers and clients, not a whole lot changes for me on a daily basis. THEN it finally happens, and a warning light starts flashing on my car’s dashboard. I’m having an issue, and I can’t drive the car anymore. Yup, I’m grounded. I struggle to get...

Oxnard-- Okay, it’s summertime, so the Concerts by the Sea series has resumed at a new location as construction is underway next to Peninsula Park. I PERSONALLY enjoy the shows, as does the J-Train, particularly when the music from the 1960s gets featured. I doubt anyone would disagree with me, as there was lots of dancing, partying, food, camaraderie, and period clothing being worn across t...

Oxnard-- Okay, it’s time to get back to work, and I hope that everyone had a happy and safe July 4th weekend full of hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, friends, and family. LET’S all remember that we live in the greatest country on the planet, despite the challenges, and living in a Constitutional Democratic Republic brings everyone together, disagree respectfully, and remember that our...

Oxnard-- I spend a lot of time in the community covering events for a reason. Ultimately, the people are what makes the community move forward, while the local government frames policies to make life thrive. I CAN’T do that from my computer. I have to get my butt out there, talk to people and be the community’s voice. I’ve been doing this since 2008 when I left the restaurant business in th...

Oxnard-- I was delivering the paper last week, and a reader opened one edition, pointed to Frosted Thoughts, and said is this you? IT was, of course, but when I sat and thought about it, the picture I was using was taken back in 2008, when I was the news director at a radio in Colorado. The picture needed an update, and I have to say that I am getting old. For example, in 2008, I had a litt...

Oxnard-- I’m living life, have eyes and ears, and although I don’t have a central theme this week, I have lots of things to touch upon. HUMOR me. I’m struggling with low blood sugar today, so I’ll clear my thoughts on the screen. Let’s start by driving past the new park under construction on K Street, which will be a great addition to the city. Of course, my low blood sugar is directly re...

Oxnard-- Before I get started, I want to say how happy I am that my Daughter in Law, Jaze got her new kidney Saturday, June 4, and is doing well. JAZE had end-stage kidney failure and was on dialysis while waiting for a donor. Her kidney is functioning well, and I can tell you that happiness is hearing my son tell me that he has to return the portable dialysis machine that Jaze has been tet...

Oxnard-- It’s Memorial Day weekend, and things were happening across Oxnard. As always, it’s my pleasure to cover the events that celebrate life. MY weekend started with me going to the Eastside Little League Car Show at La Colonia Park, complete with kids playing baseball, classic cars, food vendors, and plenty of engaged parents working together. I love covering Little League events bec...

Oxnard--I discovered something this weekend that you may not read about, especially since electric cars are being forced on the public. Well, I own an electric car, and I’ll tell you. WITHOUT going too deep into this topic, it’s ironic to me that this country declared war on fossil fuels, led by Joe Biden, who canceled oil leases. Now everybody wants to blame it on Russia like we didn’t see...

As the Mayor and Police Chief of the City of Oxnard, we want to express our concerns about the dangers of fentanyl and its growing presence as part of the opioid crisis in Ventura County. I, Mayor John C. Zaragoza, am a concerned City official, father, and grandfather regarding the increase in teen deaths due to fentanyl-laced pills.
