The Oxnard Journal

Bush 2008
With the 2006 Congressional races on the first wave, the second wave holds the future
with the 2008 Presidential Election. Woman-power could be the key. This fight of the sexes
may take an unusual turn. Vice President Dick Cheney, (R) Wyoming - has recently endorsed Laura Bush
as a good potential Presidential candidate. Could the Grand Old Party be planning a Grand Old Fight on the
ballot of November 2008 by pitting First Lady Laura Bush against former First Lady and now New York State
Senator Hillary Clinton?

Look at the trend - Dr. Irene Pinkard almost got the Council seat, and he did well in her first run for Council.

City of Oxnard looks at mushrooming problems brought on by past Council's unrestrained approach to Development.

Under the leadership of Mayor Holden, city departments are under orders to take a serious look at the results of past
development and to look at what is currently happening within the city as far as authorized and unauthorized building
is concerned.
This is why Oxnard's Neighborhood Services program supports the Neighborhood Councils and their umbrella
organization the Inter - Neighborhood Council Forum (INCF).

INTER-NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL FORUM (INCF)

Open Letter to the Neighborhood Chairs:

At the upcoming INCF General Membership Meeting on June 1, 2005, we will be hosting a discussion on Code Enforcement with Sgt. Jim Stallings giving an overview on areas of concern to the neighborhoods. This is your time to ask questions or take notes.

We are also taking on a new role, which in essence, is the primary reason the INCF was formed in the first place. We are going to have a Problem-Solving Discussion to offer the City of Oxnard our ideas on how to solve over-parking in
R-1 Zoned Residential (Single Family) Neighborhoods. The Planning Commission has come to the INCF seeking city-wide neighborhood input for ALL suggestions we can come up with to solve the problems that new additions to existing homes are creating on the streets of Oxnard in the form of over-parking.

Please plan to attend, bring members of your board and invite concerned residents in your neighborhood to come and share ideas, solutions and views on the issue of parking. Our suggestions will be drafted into a letter the INCF will present to the Planning Commission, which it will use for guidance when it proposes an ordinance addressing this problem.

This is your time to contribute in a big way to city planning.

Bill Winter INCF Chairman

Martin Jones' take on the Downtown Movie Theatre.......So the city fathers of Oxnard decide to build a theater in downtown Oxnard in spite of their own consultants said it would fail. Oh well it's only a forty million dollar liability for the taxpayers. Mere peanuts when compared in the aggregate to the other sweetheart deals. by are our ever so wise city fathers. -- See the Background Story on what is happening to movie theaters nationwide.

- May 27th NYT Story backs up Jones ....Read it here.

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD,
AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT
SHINE UPON THEM.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of press
It is the Soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to demonstrate
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag
Who allows the protester to burn the flag?
--Father Dennis Edward O'Brien

Please keep your prayers coming. We had 10 people scheduled to go on the trip to Thailand. One of the women fell and broke her hip last week. She will be unable to go on the trip. She was replaced by a 17 year old boy. Another woman was coming to our meeting yesterday and she was cut-off on route 80. She flipped her car. I saw the car being put on the flatbed upside down, but had no idea it was her car! She has many bumps and bruise but it looks like nothing major. Please pray that she will be OK (her name is Alysha) and still able to come. The leaders father has some tumors in his intestines and will need to be operated on next week. Pray that everything goes OK so that the leader can go on the trip. Pray for the rest of us to stay safe!

thanks you so much for your prayers,
Pat

A Navy officer was cutting through the crew's quarters of his ship one day and happened upon a sailor reading a magazine with his feet up on the small table in front of him.
"Sailor! Do you put your feet up on the furniture at home?" the officer demanded.
"No, sir, but we don't land airplanes on the roof either."
