The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control confiscate animals after complaints of mistreatment and neglect at facility On Jan. 3, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) served three search warrants at an illegal animal facility called Compton Animal Rescue in Compton, resulting in the confiscation of 143 live animals, primarily dogs, but also including cats, chickens, a rooster, tortoise, turtles, pigs, snakes, a horse, hamster, rabbits, a hawk, and lizards.

Sadly, a number of these animals were irredeemably ill and suffering and had to be humanely euthanized. Additionally, 13 animals were found deceased on the Compton Animal Rescue premises.

DACC obtained the warrants, based on multiple complaints of neglect and

Compton College grad plans to become a lawyer for the underserved

TIFFANY ARELLANO IS CONTINUING HER ACADEMIC STUDIES AT UCLA Tiffany Arellano is a 2023 graduate who simultaneously earned both an associate degree from Compton College and a high school diploma from Compton Early College High School. With two years of college completed, Arellano transferred last fall to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to major in political science and sociology with a concentration in Chicano studies.

After graduating from UCLA, she plans to attend law school and earn her Juris Doctor degree.

Arellano is thankful for the resources Compton College offered her to help her transfer to a top UC campus.

“Without Compton College and its amazing faculty, I wouldn’t have had the solid educational foundation to aid me as I transferred to UCLA,” she said.

“I want to become an immigration

lawyer and start up my own law firm where I can serve underrepresented populations, such as residents of my hometown of Compton, California,” said Arellano. “In the future, I hope that I can advance to a level in my career where I am able to grant free legal services to those in need.”

Originally uncertain of her career goals, Arellano credits the countless student resources n Studies, see page 8

Stakeholders Warn Lawmakers of Expanding Aging Population; Older Black Californians Included Antonio Ray Harvey CCoA’s Executive Committee, | California Black began the discussion.

“The landscape of CaliMedia fornia is changing. Aging is

The California Commission on Aging (CCoA) hosted its second annual forum focused on challenges facing Californians over 65 years old.

T

ITLED “Aging and Disability Issues: What Legislative Staff Need to Know for 2024,” the virtual event was organized to bring awareness to lawmakers that California’s aging adults are living longer and to emphasize the importance of developing policy to support this growing population, according to organizers.

This year’s meeting included the perspectives of gerontologists and other subject-matter experts who provided data and insights critical to informing policy.

Former Assemblymember Cheryl Brown (D-San Bernardino), who chairs the

changing and it’s changing California,” Brown said. “Older adults are living longer, and the cohort is becoming more ethnically diverse, underscoring the need to develop culturally, appropriate services.”

The discussion encompassed a range of topics including planning for long-term care, assisted living, enhancing healthcare quality, technology use, services for senior adults with disabilities, state budget considerations, and the best policies and practices to help aging adults stay healthy, active, independent, and confident.

The CCoA acts as the principal advocate for older Californians and as a catalyst for change that supports and celebrates Californians as they advance in age. The CCoA advises the Governor and Legislature, along with state, federal, and local agencies on programs and services that affect senior adults.

Statewide organizations that participated in the event included LeadingAge California, Disability Rights California, California Foundation for Independent Living Centers, and California Collaborative for Long-Term Services and Supports.

In addition, representatives and staff members of Choice In Aging, Age Watch Newsletter, California Elder Justice Coalition, California Association of Area Agencies on Aging, and the California Long-Term Care Ombudsman Association were presenters during the 90-minute discussion.

“In California, we know that older adults are underserved and unserved relative to their needs,” CCoA Executive Director Karol Swartzlander said. “In stark terms, we know that 4% of older adults who need service actually receive services.”

According to the California Department of Aging (CDA), California’s aging population is expected to reach an estimated 4.5 million individuals aged 60 to 69 and 4.2 million senior adults ages 70- to 79 by the year 2040, based on information from CDA’s Master Plan for Aging.

Recognizing that the state’s

65-plus population is projected to grow to 8.6 million by 2030, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order calling for the development of the MPA. Debbie Toth, from ChoiceInAging, said the MPA is a model of “how we can do better” to service the needs of older adults. ChoiceInAging, Toth said, “is going to be shopping accessible transportation and rate increases for adult day healthcare.

“But we need to have legislation to do it,” Toth told legislative staff members.

The seriousness of aging in the state – particularly for Black Californians -- had been flying under the radar for almost 15 years before the state began to make it priority.

A 2016 California Health Report (CHR) revealed that by 2030, 18% of the state will be 65 or older. Projections in that study also indicated that 52% of these older adults would be from diverse minority groups but “no population is expected to be harder hit than African Americans,” the report stated. n California Adults, see page 6

Credit rating of Compton Unified raised to A+ by S&P Global REVISED RATING BASED ON DISTRICT’S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN BALANCED OPERATIONS COMPTON, CA — Compton Unified School District (CUSD) is thrilled to announce that S&P Global Ratings (S&P) has recently raised the District’s credit rating to an A+.

S&P also raised the rating on the District’s general obligation bonds outstanding to an A+ from A. Additionally, the rating on the District’s previously issued certificates of participation was raised to A from A-.

“We are incredibly excited that S&P has elevated our credit rating to an A+,” said CUSD Board of Trustees President Denzell Perry. “This upgrade is a testament to our diligent financial management and strategic fiscal planning. We are grateful to our staff, stakeholders, and the community for their support and trust, as

we continue to invest in the excellence of our schools and the success of our students.”

The upgrade in credit rating was largely due to the District’s demonstrated ability to adjust its budget to maintain structurally balanced operations. S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Kyron Smith wrote: “The raised rating reflects our view of the district’s demonstrated ability to adjust its budget to maintain structurally balanced operations despite declining enrollment.

It also reflects our view of the district’s … reserve position, which we believe provides enough cushion for it to weather revenue and cost pressures as the state funding environment weakens.”

“This achievement is criti-

cal for the future of our Compton schools and scholars,” said CUSD Board of Trustees member Micah Ali. “This not only enhances our borrowing capability, it also ultimately saves our taxpayers money. This is vital as we continue to raise and spend significant amounts of money for critical upgrades of our school facilities, and are nearing completion of the brand-new, state-of-the-art Compton High School, which will be the newest high school built in California when completed in 2025.”

In its published credit opinion, S&P noted that the District’s “willingness to make budget adjustments provide sufficient flexibility to manage the challenging state funding environment for fiscal 2025

and beyond…” Other factors contributing to the rating upgrade were the District’s recent trend of positive financial performance and contributions to an irrevocable trust to manage its Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability.

“The recent upgrade by S&P is a clear indication of our dedication to sound financial stewardship,” said CUSD Superintendent Dr. Darin Brawley. “This achievement is pivotal, not just as a measure of our current financial health, but as a critical factor in our ability to secure necessary resources for the future development and enrichment of our educational programs. It underscores our commitment to making strategic decisions that benefit our students, staff,

and community.”

S&P is one of the three leading credit rating agencies in the nation, which rates the District, its general obligation (GO) bonds, and other financings. Rating agencies assign credit ratings based on their independent and in-depth review of the issuer and credit risks of their debt, allowing issuers to efficiently access debt markets and investors to make informed investment decisions. Similar to an individual’s credit scores issued by the top credit bureaus, the primary benefit of a high credit rating is lower interest costs and issuance costs. In the case of the Measure S and Measure AAA GO bonds, lower interest costs directly translate to taxpayer savings.

Carson honors deputy for stopping attempted 7-Eleven robbery The City of Carson honored Deputy Luis Cisneros on Tuesday, Jan. 23 at the council meeting with a certificate of commendation.

Deputy Cisneros who has worked on the force for over 9 years was praised for his quick response and valor.

T

HE attempted robbery took place at one of Carson’s 7-Eleven stores located on the 1700 block of Avalon Boulevard and Victoria Street. Early on the morning of January 13, 2024 Deputy Cisneros apprehended four suspects attempting to rob the store.

Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes, who is a spouse and mother of former law enforcement officers and understands what daily life is like waiting on your

loved one to come home.

Davis-Holmes said, “the first responsibility after doing what you have to do is coming home safe to your wife.” She also expressed how proud the city is of Cisneros and “thanks to his quick response he was able to call for backup and have the suspects apprehended. We are so grateful for your service.”

Sheriff Robert Luna who attended the council meeting, said that it isn’t easy to walk into a robbery in progress but

“his response was amazing and when I called him a couple of days later just to congratulate him and tell him what an awesome job he did, he was one of the most humble men I’ve ever spoken to. So be proud that he doesn’t hesitate and he loves this community, he loves his job and I believe he’s a true representation of the men and women of the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department.”

Deputy Luis Cisneros considers Carson his home away

from home. Upon receiving the recognition he said, “I’m grateful for the support the city has provided, and grateful for the training that I’ve received from the sheriff ’s academy, because without it, none of this would have been possible. I’m blessed of the outcome of the incident and more so of the investigation due to our Major Crimes detectives. I’m humbled by the praise and support so far and I just want to say, truly, thank you.”

Idiots Make Me Look Good, So Says the Boss Dr. James L. Snyder Often, I get agitated by people I call “idiots.”

I don’t have an inclusive definition for what an idiot really is; I just use the word carelessly.

N

ORMALLY, I am a relatively cool, collected kind of person. Not much upsets me, and I don’t get mad very easily. But driving a vehicle out in the world today is sometimes more than I can handle.

I’m not sure if it’s just my age, but I don’t remember so many idiots driving when I was younger. Thinking about this for a moment, I wonder if somebody thought I was an idiot when driving?

Often, on some of these trips, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage will be along.

Some driver will do something rather stupid, cut in front of me, and I will utter, “What’s wrong with that idiot?”

One time while driving, we had a conversation that went along the line of me asking The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, “How do these idiots get a driver’s license?”

Looking at me once, she said something to the effect, “Those idiots get a driver’s license the same way you get yours.”

I don’t know what she meant by that, and I never asked her to explain.

Recently, The Gracious

Mistress of the Parsonage and I spent the day traveling for some errands we had to do, and boy, the idiots were out in full force. Several times, we came close to having an accident. The fact that we got home safe was a real miracle.

During that drive, I was a little more agitated by these idiots than ever before. I just complained from one end to the other end about all these idiots and why they did so many stupid things.

At the height of my ranting, The Gracious Mistress of

the Parsonage said, “Instead of ranting about these idiots, you should be thankful for them.”

“What? Why would I ever be thankful for some idiot?”

That was a strange remark even for her.

I saw the smile on her face, and I think I heard her chuckle, but I’m not quite sure about that. Then she said something even stranger. “Just think about it. All of these idiots on the road make you look good.”

I had to stop and think about that one. I never thought of it like that, and it took me

quite a while to process it.

As the silence lengthened, she then said, “If it wasn’t for all of these idiots driving like they do, nobody would recognize what a wonderful driver you are. For that you should be thankful.”

Sometimes, I think all of these idiots out there are a hazard to real life. But then, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage had a point. These idiots make the rest of us look normal. Nobody would recognize how good we are in our driving skills if it wasn’t for

them.

Let me just say, “Thank you idiots.”

Recently I ran across a Bible verse that troubled me. It was Proverbs 26:4, “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.”

To answer an idiot I have to come down to his level, which makes me an idiot. I have a higher standard to live by; it is the Word of God. Dr. James L. Snyder can be reached by e-mail at jamessnyder51@gmail.com.

can Americans lived in eight states: New York (396,670), Florida (394,307), Georgia (362,535), Texas (350,106), California (304,751), North Carolina (298,365), Maryland (238,219), and Illinois (237,467).

Nationally, the African American population aged 65 and older was 4,979,133 in 2019 and is estimated to grow to 12.1 million by 2060.

In 2019, African Americans made up 9% of the older pop-

ulation. By 2060, the percentage is forecast to increase to 13%. The number of African Americans aged 85 and older is calculated to increase from 511,540 in 2019 to 2.2 million in 2060.

Brown, who was the senior-most lawmaker in the California Legislature at the age of 69 during her tenure, stressed the importance of the master plan in focusing on the state’s aging minority groups.

“I feel that it’s important

to highlight that the MPA acknowledges and offers strategies to address inequities leading to disparities and life expectancies,” Brown said.

Gov. Newsom presented a $291 billion spending plan to the California Legislature on Jan. 10, but a looming shortfall estimated at tens of billions of dollars could affect expenditure for programs targeting the state’s aging residents.

Presenters told legislative staffers attending to relay to

lawmakers the importance of servicing a rapidly growing population.

“If you walk away with nothing else today, the whole goal is that the subject matter experts, these stakeholders are invested in the success of the legislative staff,” said Toth, explaining that the advocates participating are committed to working with lawmakers and their aides to improve policy for aging Californians.

HIP-HOP AMERICA Bolt Academy scholars, a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles Chargers Impact Fund, Inglewood Unified School District, and Brotherhood Crusade, will embark on a guided tour of the immersive and interactive Hip-Hop America: The Mixtape Exhibit at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles. This experience will celebrate the global impact and influence of hip-hop culture.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT A video series will take center stage, featuring the Compton Cowboys, Black

Surfers Collective, and Crenshaw Skate Club. This exploration will delve into the unique and inspiring contributions of these organizations within the Angelenos community. Additionally, the Chargers will shine a spotlight on the achievements of African Americans in sports through a weekly employee spotlight and stories highlighting impactful former players, including legends like Jim Hill, Ernie Barnes, and kicker Herb Travenio.

“We believe diversity, inclusion, and the understanding of our country’s history is important to remember and reflect on not only throughout the month of February but always,” said James Collins, Vice President, Cultural Programs & Development. “This month we are focused on encouraging youth to seek knowledge and honor the contributions of the Black community. We are all one, and together we must build on that to bring forth a welcoming and caring nation where everyone feels like part of a community and all things seem possible.”

While February is designated as Black History Month, the Chargers remain committed to identifying meaningful ways to support communities through funding, volunteer opportunities, and impact-

ful messaging year-round.

This commitment is evident through team and Chargers Impact Fund led programs like Bolt Academy and Bolts Book Club, as well as support for organizations such as Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles, Brotherhood Crusade and Liberty Hill Foundation.

Launched in 2021, the Bolt Academy is a unique sixmonth after school program which builds career readiness and leadership skills. To date, 43 students have successfully completed the program. Following the completion of the curriculum the students work for the Club during the season on gamedays in various departments to receive a behindthe-scenes look at the business of sports.

Through a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Los Angeles, the team launched two literacy programs in 2023: Bolts Book Club and Rhymes with Reason. The Bolts Book Club aims to foster creativity through language and comprehension skill development and encourage an early love for reading books for elementary students. Rhymes with Reason—a digital platform—will help nurture creativity, enhance vocabulary and foster language acquisition through music. Over the course of several years, the Chargers have

contributed a $400,000 capital investment aimed at revitalizing field and teen spaces at several clubhouses. The support extends beyond infrastructure improvements, as it also helped bolster the club’s educational enrichment programming.

Additionally, on a mission to inspire an affinity for reading and help increase literacy rates in local children, the Chargers Impact Fund provides free books to students in Southern California schools.

Over 12,000 books have been distributed to local youth by the organization since 2020, and numbers will continue to grow.

The Chargers provide ample support both on and off the field for youth athletes across Southern California. With an emphasis on mental health and well-being the team, in partnership with EverFi, invited two 13U teams from Snoop Youth Football League who were headed to the championship to a seminar developing their leadership abilities, character traits and provided mental health awareness and resources.

Continuing to underscore the importance of providing an outlet to youth athletes, the team most recently, have partnered with music icon Snoop Dogg and NFL veteran wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh to launch the new Snoop and Housh Flag Football League that will kick off in March 2024.

Through the Chargers’ Takeout Tuesday program, the team partnered with PepsiCo for the second year to support Black- and Hispanic-owned restaurants in Los Angeles through its Pepsi Dig In and Juntos Crecemos platforms.

Chargers running back Joshua Kelley surprised three local restaurants with a $10,000 donation each and consumers were invited for free lunches at each spot, courtesy of Pepsi – all as part of the LA Chargers’ Takeout Tuesday which aims to raise awareness of the diverse restaurants that feed our local communities.

HE Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and the California Department of

Transportation (Caltrans) are hosting a series of meetings to update communities along the I-710 corridor on the draft Long Beach-East L.A. Corridor Mobility Investment Plan.

The scheduled meeting in Compton is planned to take place on Feb. 21 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at East Rancho Dominguez Park, 15116 Atlantic Ave. The investment plan outlines recommended projects and funding strategies to improve mobility, safety and cleaner air along the corridor,

comprised of 18 cities and unincorporated communities from Long Beach to East L.A. Since 2021, Metro and Caltrans have partnered with residents, environmental justice organizations, educators, public health advocates, unions, businesses and elected officials along the I-710 corridor to create a task force to identify multimodal strategies to improve the quality of life in the corridor, and now are sharing the investment plan.

Comments on the draft investment plan will be accepted

until Friday, March 1, 2024.

Comments can be submitted by calling 213.922. 4710 or by emailing 710corridor@ metro.net. Information about the draft plan can be found at metro.net/lb-ela-corridorplan.

Additionally, Metro and Caltrans are hosting community meetings to gather public input and feedback and offer project updates. In-person sessions are scheduled for Feb. 1, 7, 12 and 21 and virtual meetings and remote viewing sessions are scheduled for Feb.

1, 3, 5 and 13.

Participants will learn more about the recommended projects, which include enhancing zero-emission truck infrastructure, streamlining goods movement and freight, improving arterial roadways, creating new jobs, community programming, upgrading transit access and services, taking a community needs approach to prioritize projects, amongst other multimodal transportation projects that help to reconnect communities divided by I-710.

offered by Compton College with “changing her life and helping her hone her passions.” She was honored as one of Compton College’s 2023 Presidential Scholars— students who have shown academic strength, singular focus, and the desire to reach their highest potential while overcoming obstacles in the pursuit of their dreams.

“At Compton College, I discovered my passion for policy work in instructor Roderick Todd’s ethnic studies course, enhanced my writing skills with the guidance of English instructor Susan Johnson, and widened my knowledge of sociology thanks

to instructor Sacramento Mendoza Ramos,” she said.

“I’ve even come to develop a deeper connection with my culture and heritage through the teachings of history and ethnic studies instructor David Chavez.”

In line with her interest in helping the underserved, Arellano volunteered for the nonprofit Borders of Hope during the summer of 2022.

Borders of Hope provides humanitarian aid to U.S.Mexico border cities, working with youth and schools, as well as providing tools and resources for immigrants within the United States.

Arellano assisted with the

organization’s Citizenship Exam Prep Program, which provides undocumented people with free tutoring sessions covering various sections of the U.S. citizenship exam, including the interview and written/spoken portions of the exam. “Working with Borders of Hope was one of the most rewarding experiences

of my life and further sparked my passion for immigration law,” she said.

As a dual-enrolled student, Arellano felt she had an advantage by being able to experience college classes while still in high school.

“Juggling advanced high school classes with collegelevel courses not only instilled

in me the value of productivity, but also strengthened my mindset and allowed me to flourish as a more consistent and well-rounded student.”

She encourages students considering Compton Early College to enroll in this benchmark program developed in a partnership between Compton College and the Compton Unified School District. “Although it may sound intimidating at first, the staff at both Compton Early College High School and Compton College make sure you receive all the resources you need and have a genuine interest in ensuring your success.”

seized were distributed among DACC’s animal care centers where they underwent medical evaluation and treatment while the investigative reports were prepared for the District Attorney.

While reports are still being finalized, the District Attorney and DACC have cleared over 100 animals for release from the evidence hold they were under for the previous month . Taking this step means that once

evaluated for suitability for adoption, these animals will be publicly available for adoption and rescue.

The release clears the way for the animals involved in this case to avoid a lengthy stay at care centers and instead embark on their new beginnings in homes and rescue facilities registered as partners with the Department.

“DACC will always act when the health and safety of

animals is at risk,” said Marcia Mayeda, Director. “Now that these animals have received the care and treatment they desperately needed, we are hopeful they will be placed swiftly in the loving homes they deserve.”

People interested in adopting from DACC can visit animalcare.lacounty.gov and click on the “View Our Animals” page. For more information on the Compton Animal Rescue case animals,

follow @lacoanimals on Instagram and Facebook.

Animal rescue organizations are responsible for providing the basic needs for housing, medical care, and nutrition to ensure the health of all animals in their care. The quality of life of the animals must be a priority.

Los Angeles County residents are asked to report suspected cases of animal cruelty and neglect by calling DACC at (562) 940-6898.

Juggling advanced high school classes with college-level courses not only instilled in me the value of productivity, but also strengthened my mindset and allowed me to flourish as a more consistent and well-rounded student.

After investigating, warrants were issued due to the animal rescue organization’s noncompliance with State and County animal care laws.

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 automati-

cally 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 (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www. mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned to this case 231019390. 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. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877) 440-4460, or visit this internet website site www.tlssales.info, using the file number assigned to this case 231019390 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. When submitting funds for a bid subject to Section 2924m, please make the funds payable to “Total Lender Solutions, Inc. Holding Account”. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

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.
