Adjudicated, a legal newspaper of general circulation on July 8, 1974 Case # 108890 by the Superior Court of Riverside County

ne day every week, people line-up in the parking lot behind our office to pickup free food. They are living on the fringes of society. Most have very little to survive on and the donated boxes of food provide much needed sustenance to help them through the week. Some live in their cars. Many have no home at all, bouncing from shelter to shelter, dragging their modest possessions with them.

This week was no different, because homelessness doesn’t take a holiday.

Although a study conducted earlier this year found that the homeless population in Riverside County has seen a double-digit reduction since 2013, it is still a concern.

According to the Policy Advocacy Clinic, overall California has experienced the second-largest increase in the number of homeless people among the 50 states this past year. While most cities treat homelessness as a law enforcement problem -- California cities have more anti-homeless laws than cities in other states - like other innovative cities Riverside is making an effort to not simply manage but to eradicate what has been called one of America’s most intractable problems.

As part of Riverside County’s Continuum of Care Homelessness network, Riverside has taken a pro-active holistic approach focused on prevention and a combination of social, medical, and mental health service assistance. The city created a centralized emergency shelter and complimentary supportive services campus that includes a multi-service access center. As part of its 5 year plan to end homelessness, the city has expanded its operations available to the homeless and those who risk becoming homeless and built a unique community system of supportive housing prevention programs and supportive services, helping some of our most vulnerable residents gain stable housing and eventually achieve selfsufficiency.

So while we prepare to celebrate the Christian holiday marking the birth of someone who was born without a roof over his head, let’s remember the less fortunate in our community, especially those families faced with housing insecurity.

If you know someone in need of shelter this holiday season, contact the City of Riverside Homeless Outreach Team (951) 826-2200 or Path of Life (951) 683-4101 (emergency shelter) or 275-8755 (family shelter). And if you want to get involved you can participate in Riverside’s Walk to End Homelessness at Fairmount Park on April 2, 2016.

The Community Foundation and Philanthropy in the Inland Empire

“

Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long, as ever you can.

- Unknown Riverside

S. E. Williams Staff Writer

A

s shoppers and family chefs prepare to twist and turn their way through another holiday season, there are those in the community who embody the holiday spirit of giving and caring all year through.

In both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties the landscape is generously dotted with organizations and churches whose support teams are fully committed to making a difference in the lives of those they serve.

The Community Foundation (Foundation) provides a foundation for many Inland Empire organizations engaged in such efforts—its vision incorporates a commitment to enhancing the quality of life in all the communities it serves.

To make its vision a reality the organization partners with individuals, families and others who are equally as passionate about improving the community. These partnerships continue to be effective at creating permanent, charitable funds. Those assets are subsequently invested and administered based on nationally established standards.

The Foundation provides grants to nonprofit organizations working in the areas of health and human services, youth and families, arts and culture, education, civics and the environment.

Also, the Foundation does not act in a vacuum. It brings together key stakeholders as a way to determine community needs; it works to facilitate the development of collaborative solutions to issues of importance to the community; and, it most importantly acts as a catalyst for positive change.

In an exclusive interview with The Voice recently, the agency’s President and CEO, Dr. Jonathan Lorenzo Yorba shared his thoughts about the agency, its funding, outreach process, current priorities and future plans.

As a philanthropic organization, revenue

generation is essential to the agency’s ability to continue its good works. According to Yorba, The Community Foundation generates revenue through a variety of sources, first and foremost of which is through generous donors, both individuals and nonprofit agencies that established endowments at the Foundation.

“We also receive funding through strategic partnerships with other foundations and municipal governments,” Yorba shared. “Our endowed funds also generate revenue; this stream has increased since the peak of the Great Recession. We also receive funding in the form of sponsorships.”

Yorba freely shared information regarding an annual event that highlights how The Community Foundation uses strategic partnerships with other foundations and municipal governments to achieve meaningful results.

On December 1st the Foundation sponsored “Give BIG San Bernardino County”, a 24hour online giving campaign that allowed citizens to give to their favorite causes in the community. “Our goal was to get everyone who cares about San Bernardino County to help us raise $300,000 in just 24 hours,” Yorba shared. “The effort was supported with funding from the County of San Bernardino— and with the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors’ unwavering support and encouragement,” Yorba explained.

The December 1 fundraiser, Give Big San Bernardino raised nearly $260,000. Now, in light of the recent tragic events of December 2nd at the Inland Regional Center, the agency has partnered with the Arrowhead United Way’s Relief Fund to assist victims of the tragedy. To make a donation please text SBUNITED to 71777; or checks can be made payable to SBUNITED and

mailed to Arrowhead United Way, 646 N. D St., San Bernardino, CA 92401.

Examples of other programs and initiatives supported by the Foundation include such efforts as the Youth Grant Makers, a program to empower youth to address issues that are important to them by participating in the grantmaking process; and, the Community Indicators Report which provides each county and region with critical research and analysis, tracking 35 key indicators of economic, health, social, and environmental well-being of the region.

Programs and initiatives like the Give Big Campaigns of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, the Funders Alliance, as well as the Communities Indicators Report are important; yet, with so much need in the Inland Empire, continued on page 7

One Small Gift San Bernardino

T

he Salvation Army is committed to making this season a memorable one for children in need. It’s Giving Tree program is designed to help make that commitment a reality.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the effort.

Participation is easy according to Major Daniel Henderson, Corps Officer for the San Bernardino Salvation Army. “Just pick up an Angel Giving Tree tag and buy a needy child the gift listed on the tag!” he said and then stressed the importance of community participation. “The Angel Giving Tree matches donors with hundreds of children who are relying on The Salvation Army this year to bring them a Merry Christmas.”

The San Bernardino Salvation Army Corps has set up two Angel Giving Trees this year.

One tree is at the Inland Center Mall and the other at a Wal-Mart store located on Hallmark Parkway. The agency hopes to garner enough participation to provide toys to children from 600 disadvantaged families in

San Bernardino, Rialto, Highland, Grand Terrace, Colton, Fontana and Bloomington.

Anyone who would like to participate in the Giving Tree effort will find cards attached to the Giving Trees at both locations. The cards include the names and wish lists of needy children whose families cannot afford to buy gifts.

The gifts are based on their individual wishes and for some children it may be the only gift they receive all year.

According to Henderson, shoppers simply pick a tag off the Giving Tree and purchase their gift donation. It is recommended the tag be kept by the purchaser as an ornament to hang on his/her own Christmas tree—a reminder of their good deed.

Henderson also noted how selecting a gift for a needy child together as a family, is a great way to start a new tradition.

The Giving Trees will remain available for donations until Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24.

Southern California Edison Announces January Rate Reduction Riverside

L

ast week, Southern California Edison announced it was on track to reduce residential customer bills by two percent in January 2016.

The announcement is the agency’s first step in a three-part bill reduction strategy initially reported by The Voice in early November. The November report also revealed the agency’s intent to actually reduce residential bills by a total of six percent by the end of March, 2016.

The January reduction comes on the heels of an earlier two percent reduction for residential customers that also occurred in November.

SCE’s official announcement of the January rate reduction comes subsequent to a California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) decision that approved Southern California Edison’s (SCE) 2016 costs for energy sources the utility

needs to supply electricity—the main factor in January’s rate decrease.

Costs associated with this reduction are the same costs approved by the Commission each year. SCE only generates about 20 percent of its own energy and reportedly buys the rest of its energy through contracts and short-term markets.

In November, SCE spokesperson Lauren Bartlett explained the proposed total sixpercent-reduction in increments of two percent were the result of several actions by the CPUC. Those actions included the agency’s recent vote related to funding Southern California Edison’s day to day operations. Those costs include the inspection, repair and replacement of infrastructures that will allegedly make it easier to restore power after an emergency outage in the future. It also pays the salary and wages of

SCE employees.

Also, according to SCE, part of the January reduction is attributed to the implementation of a settlement with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited for the San Onofre outages caused by the failures of replacement steam generators.

The consumer portion of the settlement was nearly $313 million dollars.

SCE also announced next year, residential customers will also see an increase in benefits from climate credits. Climate credits appear on residential customer bills twice each year, in April and October. This year residential customers will see those credits increased from $29 twice per year to $38 dollars twice a year.

All of the changes detailed above are partly the result of SCE’s general rate case that must be completed every three years.

A Community Bids Farewell to a Beloved Leader - Bill Ratibu Jacocks

O

n Thursday, December 17, hundreds attended a memorial service to celebrate the ‘too-brief life’ of an un-common

man.

Not many knew him by his family name, “William Henry Jacocks—that sounded way too formal. Generally, he was referred to as Bill or Bill Jacocks by some and by his African name, Shadidi, by others; however, most recognized him by his chosen name, “Ratibu”.

They all came, Athiests, Roman Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Protestants, and others. Some entered a foreign place of worship for the first time. The celebration was held in a borrowed sanctuary, the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, not the Temple Missionary Baptist Church where Ratibu was a long-time Sunday school teacher. The celebration was not held at his home church because there was not enough room at the inn to accommodate all of the attendees.

During the service, many in attendance spoke of Ratibu’s full life and cited numerous Community Foundation, continued from page 4

Yorba was asked to identify his agency’s highest priorities.

“The Community Foundation’s donors and fund holders are our highest priority.” He responded and explained, “We exist to carry out their philanthropic intentions.”

Also according to Yorba, The Community Foundation has a single initiative—capacity building of the nonprofit sector. “We advance that initiative through strategic, multi-year grant funding that is awarded on a highly competitive basis,” he advised.

examples of his good works and expansive influence. Testimony was given to his service as a U. S. Army infantryman; his role as an operator of a local small business; his service as a missionary; his promotion of entrepreneurship in the Black community; and, his leadership of the Inland Area Kwanzaa Group and Kwanzaa Consciousness.

Ratibu was also involved civically and held a leadership role in the Westside Action Group.

His broad participation in other civic activities was praised by dozens of officials who stood to acknowledge his role in their success.

Of course, the core story of his life could not be told without acknowledging his love of, for and within his family.

Yes, they came in large numbers, state, county, regional and local officials, leaders from every walk of life, family members, neighbors and friends. They came to recognize, honor and celebrate the life of a true advocate and community leader, Bill Ratibu Jacocks.

The Community Foundation is the only foundation of its kind in all of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties that is fully accredited by the Council on Foundations’ National Standards Board in Washington, DC. In 2016 Yorba confided, the agency will undergo a reaccreditation process.

Also next year, the agency will celebrate 75 years of service to donors, fund holders and the nonprofit sector. “We are the oldest community in this region, and we are producing a gala on October 15, 2016 at the Riverside Convention Center,” he shared.

“One of our goals is to raise funds to add to our Youth Grant-Makers Endowment so we can continue training high school students and young adults in the field of philanthropy and so we can continue developing a culture of philanthropy in this region.”

The Community Foundation has $88 million in total assets and works with at least 338 charitable funds. In 2014, the agency awarded over seven million dollars in grants and scholarships.

Our constitution is here for all of us as we select representatives that take an oath to protect and defend our rights on behalf of everyone.

In so doing if we follow the guidance of our Wonderful Counselor we will do it in a way that is inclusive of all our people. If we do it in his way it will bring Peace to our families, communities, nation and world.

If we do it in the Mighty name of God then we can and will experience the Everlasting peace that we all seek.

The Supreme Court Runs Away from Race

T

he United States Supreme Court has always been reluctant to take on the issue of race with any sensitivity toward Blacks. In its famous Dred Scott decision, Justice Roger B. Taney, writing for the majority in 1857, said Blacks, George Curry had been “regarded as George Curry Media beings of an inferior Colunmist order and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit.”

That decision was not reversed until 1954 in Brown v. Board of Education.

8

Today, the Supreme Court is not as blatantly racist as it was in the 1850s, but has essentially decided that in order to address the question of race, an institution must first try to find solutions that ignore race.

Nowhere is that clearer than in its handling of affirmative action, including the pending case against the University of Texas.

In its 1978 Bakke ruling, the court outlawed an affirmative action program at the University of California-Davis Medical School that reserved 16 of 100 seats for members of certain minority groups.

Again in 2003, the court struck down a University of Michigan undergraduate program. In Gratz v. Bollinger, the court rejected an affirmative action program that provided a 20-point bonus to underrepresented ethnic groups, including Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans. The university used a 150-point scale, with 100 points needed to gain admission.

However, the court upheld the university’s law school affirmative action program that considered race and ethnicity along with other factors.

VOICE | DECEMBER 24, 2015 | theievoice.com

In sending Fisher back to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for additional review, the Supreme Court said, “On this point, the courts below were correct in finding that Grutter calls for deference to the University’s experience and expertise about its educational mission. However, once the University has established that its goal of diversity is consistent with strict scrutiny, the University must prove that the means it chose to attain that diversity are narrowly tailored to its goal. “...The reviewing court must ultimately be satisfied that no workable race-neutral alternatives would produce the educational benefits of diversity [my emphasis].”

Rather than addressing race directly, essentially the Supreme Court requires that race be first ignored when crafting an affirmative action program and only after that effort has failed, can universities use race as one of many factors in considering applicants.

It doesn’t take a rocket or social scientist to figure out that’s a doomed approach. continued on next page

The Multilayered Meaning of I Can’t Breathe - Pt 3

By Amber Coleman n the second installment of the Multilayered Meaning of I Can’t Breathe, we established that the North American history of ab-using power explains the depravity of our present: history, explains the Black vs White education and financial divide. We also established that the ills of our history justify our government’s spending on social programs that teach people how to help themselves, provide subsidies for housing and education, and design incentives that create avenues for people of color to take on leadership roles. The result will be greater diversity in every context, thus ameliorating racism and accentuating classism. Lastly, we highlighted the personal responsibility of every individual to accept their right to selfdetermination, to unconditionally accept their starting point, and to undertake personal responsibility of what becomes of their life.

I

A Universal Experience We’ve changed the Black lives matter narrative from an arbitrary conversation about racial hatred, to an objective conversation about the ab-use of power. We’ve reconstructed the George Curry, continued from previous page

In fact, the state of Texas created its 10 Percent Plan - whereby UT-Austin automatically admits students in the top 10 percent of each Texas high school graduating class to the flagship university was created in the wake of an adverse affirmative action ruling.

The school’s original affirmative action program was struck down by the 5th Circuit of Appeals on March 18, 1996.

The court held that “the University of Texas School of Law may not use race as a factor in deciding which applicants to admit in order to achieve a diverse student body, to combat the perceived effects of a hostile environment at the law school, to alleviate the law school’s poor reputation in the minority community, or to eliminate any present effects of past discrimination by actors other than the law school.”

In the wake of that defeat, the Texas legislature devised the 10 Percent Plan. In its response to Fisher, the university listed numerous race-neutral

Black lives matter narrative into a more universal narrative and experience. A narrative that all of us—no matter our racial/sexual/economic identity—can relate to. In each altercation involving a White police officer, and a Black civilian, we all—black and white—can relate to the victim and the villain in these scenarios. The major issue with all of these altercations, is that lives were taken, which is a major problem. The fearful are too fragile to willingly admit that they can relate to a slave, or a slave’s descendants. But we all can. We all can relate to social, physical, emotional, political and economic oppression.

If we are not oppressed by not having enough money, we are oppressed by our love of it. If we are not oppressed by our lack of higher education, we are oppressed by our reliance on it for personal esteem. If we are not oppressed by our lack of a voice in the political spectrum, we are oppressed by embodying the qualities that it takes to overlook an underserved community.

We all experience oppression, because we are all slaves. Acquiring wealth doesn’t make you any less a slave, it just makes you a different kind.

I Can’t Breathe approaches it has taken, none of which has returned its Black or Latino enrollment to earlier levels.

And when the University of Michigan’s Law School program was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2003, the University of Texas moved to use race among seven factors it considered when evaluating students not admitted under the 10 Percent Plan.

None of the factors, including race, were given any numerical value.

Still, Fisher chose to sue solely because race was considered with the other factors. The university countered that Fisher, who did not graduate in the top 10 percent of her class, would not have been granted admission even if no affirmative action program existed.

The New York Times published a story Dec. 9 with charts showing that in every state that imposed a ban on affirmative action - California, Michigan, Texas, Washington, and Florida - Black and Latino admission subsequently declined.

Yet, even in the Fisher cases, justices were still quoting O’Connor, who said in Gratz,

Because of intellectual laziness, baggy pants and hooded sweatshirts have been colored Black-American, and thus given a negative connotation.

Instead of acknowledging their roots in the prison system, and also acknowledging that crime is what lands humans into jail, and that crime is always a sign of economic disparity, instead acknowledging the layers, we allow fear to inform our assumptions and we demonize the hoodie wearer. Eric Garner, devoted husband, father of six, was accused of allegedly selling illegal cigarettes in Staten when he was approached by police officers.

After a short altercation with the police officers, excessive force as applied to Eric Garner and he was illegally placed in a choke hold. On his way to his death, he shouted “I can’t breathe”, eleven times. If Eric knew that the police officers that applied excessive force and placed him into the chokehold that caused his death, if only he knew, that they couldn’t breathe either.

This is the final installment of a 3-part series entitled The Multilayered Meaning of I Can’t Breathe.

“It has been 25 years since Justice Powell first approved the use of race to further an interest in student body diversity in the context of public higher education. Since that time, the number of minority applicants with high grades and test scores has indeed increased... We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.”

That was 12 years ago. And if the Supreme Court keeps seeking ways to avoid directly confronting the issue of race, that 25-year goal is nothing but a pipe dream.

Friend of San Bernardino Terrorist Charged with Conspiracy

According to the Affidavit, Marquez moved to Riverside in 2004, where he met Syed Rizan Farook. In late 2005, Farook introduced Marquez to Islam and began educating him about the religion. Marquez soon converted to Islam and shortly thereafter, Farook introduced him to radical Islamic ideology.

The radicalization education included an expressed disdain toward Muslims in the U.S. military who Farook claimed killed other Muslims. It also included discussions of the extremist views of the now-deceased Imam and

Islamic lecturer, Anwar al-Aulaqi.

According to FBI agent Joel Anderson, Farook and Marquez began planning terrorist acts in the Southern California region sometime in 2011. The plans included using firearms and explosives to attack the Riverside Community College (RCC) where both were once students.

They selected this location primarily because they were familiar with the campus. The two specifically discussed attacking the cafeteria or library areas because they wanted to inflict maximum casualties.

According to Marquez, they first planned to throw pipe bombs into the cafeteria area from an elevated position on the second floor and position themselves to escape without detection. Next, they planned to conduct a follow-up attack at another location. Marquez even drew a diagram of the area on campus where the two planned to launch the attack.

Marquez also shared details with the FBI about a planned, rush-hour attack on the 91 Freeway. He identified the exact location where he and Farook planned to carry out this assault as well. According to Marquez, they selected the particular section of SR91 because of its lack of exits—they believed the lack of exits would

increase the number of targets in the eastbound lanes during afternoon rush hour traffic. FBI agents confirmed the specific section of SR91 identified by Marquez, in fact, has no exits in either the eastbound or westbound lanes.

The execution details of the planned attack on the 91 Freeway were chilling. Marquez planned to position himself in the hills south of the freeway as a lookout for Farook. Farook would then start the attack by throwing pipe bombs into the eastbound lanes of the 91. The bombs, of course, would disable and stop traffic.

According to Marquez, Farook then planned to move among the stopped vehicles shooting his rifle into them and killing people. Marquez was to shoot into the stopped vehicles from his position on the hillside while also watching for any approaching law enforcement or emergency responders, his priority—shoot law enforcement before shooting life-saving personnel.

The two took further steps toward carrying out their plans by purchasing firearms, ammunition and other tactical gear on two occasions from local sporting good stores.

Marquez admitted he was in fact, the actual purchaser of the weapons. He also admitted he continued on page 23

Victory for the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Com S. E. Williams Contributor fter months of Republican sandbagging in the face of those who battled and advocated courageously on behalf of 911 first responders and volunteers, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act of 2015 was signed into law last Friday by President Barack Obama as part of a massive omnibus, spending bill/tax measure.

The Reauthorization Act extended the World Trade Center Health Program for at least 75 years. The legislation also renewed and provided full funding of the Victims’ Compensation Fund for the next five years.

Although the victory is worthy of celebration,

the journey to legislative approval was long and arduous.

In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, Democrat and Republican Congressional Representatives stood side-by-side on the steps of congress and loudly sang God Bless America in full-throated defiance of the fear proffered by the 9/11 terrorists.

Many representatives found ways to position themselves in front of every media outlet willing to point cameras in their direction to loudly exalt the courage of America’s first responders who put it all on the line that fateful day and in the weeks and months that followed. They extolled epic tales of bravery, professed awe, inspiration and appreciation for their courage, their sacrifice—they, along with almost every

American, found it hard to put into words the heartfelt appreciation for the selflessness of the 9/11 first responders. That is how they were celebrated by a grateful nation.

During those tumultuous days, party lines were blurred as America professed its love for the 9/11 heroes. However, overtime, many began to believe somewhere along the way Republican legislators lost their moral compass. They continued to speak the words of gratitude and appreciation; however, their actions did not match up. It appeared to a number of political observers, there were limits to Republican care and concern for the heroes and sheroes of 9/11.

Those limits became most evident when many first responders started getting sick and looked to their Congressional leaders, to their government for help.

According to the World Trade Center Health

specialfeature

“He Spoke as if He was a Member of Our Family” President Barack Obama Visits San Bernardino S. E. Williams Staff Writer hen President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama stepped off Air Force One at the San Bernardino International Airport last Friday evening, their presence was welcomed by many as a balm of healing, compassion, hope and inspiration for grieving families and a shattered community.

Upon arrival, the Obamas were whisked away to Indian Springs High School in San Bernardino where the families of victims and first responders of the December 2nd terrorist attack waited anxiously.

The somber meetings, held in the school library, were in keeping with a distressing and poignant tradition that has continued to haunt the Obama presidency as he and the First Lady, were once again compelled to reach out, to touch the hands and hearts of grieving families.

The President’s meeting in San Bernardino on Friday evening with family members of mass-shooting victims was the twelfth such somber gathering initiated by Obama since he came to office in 2009; twelve mass shootings, twelve speeches in response, twelve intimate sessions with grieving families—a heartbreaking legacy that weighs heavily not only on the hearts of the Obamas, but the nation as well.

What seemed to stand out most about their visit Friday was its

mpensation Reauthorization Act Program more than sixty types of cancer has resulted from exposure to 9/11 toxins—cancers that are continuing to impact responders and survivors.

Believe it or not, to date nearly 4,000 cases of cancer related to 9/11 have been identified among responders and survivors. Experts believe the number impacted will only continue to grow in the coming years.

As the 911 sheroes and heroes suffered and in some instances died from their illnesses and injuries, it took congress eight long years, yes, eight years to pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, largely due to resistance from Republican legislators.

Since the legislation’s passage, however, thousands of 9/11 responders and survivors are receiving the medical attention they deserve but before the passage of the 2010 legislation, many could not afford. Yet,

with the implementation of the legislation there was a catch—the bill included a sunset clause and as a result, was scheduled to expire in 2016 unless reauthorized by Congress.

In mid-April, H.R.1786 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and S928 was introduced in the U.S. Senate titled the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act of 2015. Its purpose, to renew and make permanent the Health and Compensation programs currently helping the thousands of ill and injured 9/11 responders and survivors.

For months, Republican leadership in Congress refused to bring the legislation to the floor for a vote. Had the current bill been allowed to expire, the World Trade

Center Health Program would no longer be available to thousands of first responders and survivors—at least two-thirds of whom have multiple injuries and illnesses. Examples of their afflictions include but are not limited to obstructive pulmonary disease, gastro esophageal reflux disease, chronic asthma and of course, cancer.

Those who put it all on the line for the nation during the 9/11 crisis and compromised their health in the process deserve the full support and ‘continued support’ of a grateful nation.

Misty Copeland’s Visit to UCR

Renowned classical ballerina Misty Copeland addressed the University of California, Riverside on the importance of perseverance and diversity in a free public lecture titled “An Evening with Misty Copeland” in the University Theatre on Dec. 10. Copeland spoke about her rise to success — a story of struggle, and ultimately, triumph — to an auditorium filled with students and community members, many of them dancers who, like her, feel they do not represent the “stereotypical” ballerina because of the way they look. In June 2015, she became the first female African American principal dancer in the American Ballet Theatre’s 75-year history, and the first African American woman to dance the lead in the company’s production of “Swan Lake” that same month. The presentation was organized by UCR’s African Student Programs.

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.

The school also argued that approximately 75 percent of its students are admitted through its Top Ten Percent program. Under the Top Ten Percent program any student who graduates in the top 10 percent of his or her graduating class is guaranteed admission regardless of race. However, the other 25 percent of admissions enter via a process that takes race and other factors, into

consideration. It is this part of the admissions’ process challenged by the plaintiff.

It is important to point out this case is not new. It actually began in 2008, when Fisher initially filed her lawsuit against the learning institution; however at that time, when the case reached the Supreme Court, the justices ruled in a 7-1 decision to send the case back to the lower court to be re-heard with greater attention to detail.

Subsequently, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reheard the case and affirmed the university’s admissions policy in a 2-1 panel decision and dismissed Fisher's case last year.

Now, with the future

of African Americans and other minority communities so closely tied to the Supreme Court’s pending decision in this case, many are outraged and concerned that Scalia, with what appears to be such an expressed disdain for the African American community, is even capable of rendering fair judgment in a case of such monumental importance—some have even called for the justice to recuse himself.

In addition, it would be remiss not to mention what some have identified as the cowardly silence of the only Black Supreme Court justice, Clarence Thomas on this issue. Thomas, who obviously benefited from the opportunities provided by Affirmative Action with gluttonouszeal, is considered by critics as an affront to the memory of the only other African American justice to ever take a seat on the Supreme Court—Thurgood Marshall, whose legacy was built fighting valiantly for equal opportunities in education.

specialfeature President Obama, continued from page 13

said to me, ‘I got you’”, shared Mandy Pifer the girlfriend of Shannon Johnson, one of the 14 people killed in the terrorist rampage.

Immediately after the three hours spent with family members and first responders, the President made a few brief comments to the press.

“Despite the pain and heartache that they are feeling,” he shared in reference to the families, “They could not have been more inspiring and more proud of their loved ones or more insistent that something good comes out of this tragedy.”

The President also stressed to those in attendance, "As we go into the holiday season, even as we are vigilant about preventing terrorist attacks from happening, even as we insist we can't accept the notion of mass shootings in

public places, in places of work and worship, we have to remind ourselves of the overwhelming good that exists out there."

To that end the President praised the families for their courage and commitment to use the tragedy for good. “Many of them are already taking the initiative to reach out and to speak out on behalf of community and tolerance,” he stressed.

A total of 14 people were shot to death and 22 injured by co-worker turned terrorists, Syed Rizwan Farook, as they attended a holiday banquet on December 2nd at the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center. Many of the nine men and five women killed along with Farook, all worked at the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health.

Terrorist Friend, continued from page 12

IED and recovered at the Inland Regional Center belonged to him. The Christmas tree light filament was supposed to initiate the device. According to the FBI, Inspire Magazine contained written and photographic instructions on how to build an IED using pipes, powder and Christmas tree light filament.

During the same period Marquez purchased the powder, he and Farook continued preparations to carry out their terrorist plots— those efforts included more practice at local firing ranges.

The relationship between the two men continued into 2015; however, in 2013 their contact began to wane and they (according to Marquez) ceased planning any attacks together.

Marquez claimed he distanced himself from Farook and ceased plotting with him after 2012 for a number of reasons. Those reasons included the arrest and subsequent conviction and sentencing of two Inland Empire men that year in a terrorist plot to kill Americans.

The weapons used by Farook and his wife, Tafsheen Malik in the December 2nd attack on the Inland Regional Center were the ones purchased by Marquez in 2011-12; however, the FBI proved Marquez actually worked that day and was not involved in the murders.

On December 3, within hours of the December 2nd attack, Marquez made a frantic call to 911 and claimed he felt like killing

himself. During the call he explained how his neighbor did the San Bernardino shooting and exclaimed, the shooter had used his gun. He also claimed during the call, he had given the gun to the shooter to store for him. When asked by the 911 operator for the name of the guy that had his gun, Marquez responded, “It’s Sayed Farook.”

According to the FBI, also on December 3, Marquez entered the emergency room at the UCLA Harbor Medical Center where he appeared very anxious and emotional. As a result, he was assigned to the psychiatric ward and later placed on an involuntary hold. During his time at the hospital facility he also made several references to Farook, their relationship and the incident.

The charges against Marquez carry sentences of up to fifteen years each. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday, December 21.

In an interesting aside, in November 2014, Marquez entered into a fraudulent marriage with a woman who was the sister of the wife of Farook’s brother. For the arrangement he was paid $200 a month. In July 2014, he submitted false statements to the Department of Homeland Security, United States Citizenship and Immigrations Services that claimed he lived with his ‘sham’ wife.

unhurried nature. The Obamas spent much longer than expected, nearly three hours, meeting one on one with the grieving families.

The President spent up to ten minutes with each individual family. At times as appropriate, the First Lady took the young children of a family aside and read to them creating space for the parents to interact with the President without the filters or emotional guards one might expect to protect the sensibilities of children in the wake of a tragedy of such magnitude.

“Uplifting, inspiring, appreciated, healing,” were just a few of the adjectives used by family members to describe their interactions with the President and First Lady. “He spoke as if he was a member of our family,” one commented. “He

bought the weapons (a Smith and Wesson rifle and an Oracle rifle) for Farook as part of their plans to attack RCC and the 91 freeway. The two practiced at local firing ranges on several occasions in preparation.

At the scene of the December 2nd shootout between the terrorists and law enforcement— law enforcement personnel recovered four firearms; included among them were the Smith and Wesson and Oracle rifles purchased by Marquez.

In the Affidavit, the FBI official explained sometime around 2012, Marquez purchased explosive materials that included a bottle of smokeless powder to be used to make explosives with Farook for a future attack.
