After one day of workers walking off the job and picketing in front of all 23 of its schools, those running the Cal State University (CSU) system got some sense and saw this was a bad look.

O, with a bunch of classes being cancelled and students not occupying campus space, CSU reached an agreement with the California Faculty Association (CFA). The one-day strike by CFA members was intended to go five days. The strike has been called off and is now officially over. CSU sent

out an email late Monday night on Jan. 22, saying an agreement has been reached and that students are advised to look for messages from their instructors regarding adjustments to their classes. “I am extremely pleased and deeply appreciative that we have reached common ground with CFA that will end the strike immediately,” said CSU Chancellor Mildred García. “The agreement enables the CSU to fairly compensate its valued, world-class faculty while protecting the university system’s long-term financial sustainability. “With the agreement in place, I look forward to advancing our student-centered work — together n Strike, see page 8

California Becomes First State to Break Down Black Employee Data by Ethnicity Antonio Ray Harvey they can choose not to identify. Holden introduced Assem| California Black Media As of Jan. 1, California became the first state in the nation to disaggregate data for its Black population by ethnic lineage. Thanks to a bill authored by Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena).

OLDEN is a member of the California Legilslative Black Caucus. A California Department of Human Resource (CalHR) questionnaire requests newly or rehired employees to voluntarily self-identify their race, ethnicity and gender for the state to track and evaluate equal employment opportunities and non-discriminatory employment practices more accurately. “For the first time, the descendants of our ancestors, people in my family and the families of over 2 million Californians, the overwhelming majority of Black California, will see our community represented and counted among the very important data our state collects, starting among current and future state employees,” said Chris Lodgson, a member of Coalition for Just and Equitable (CJEC). CJEC is a statewide organization comprised of various associations, community groups, and individuals united by a commitment to fight for reparations and reparative justice for descendants of enslaved Black American men and women. Applicants now have the option to check boxes under Black or African American that declare them a descendent of persons who were enslaved in the United States, or not a descendant of persons who were enslaved in the United States, including African Black and Caribbean Black. They can also identify by marking “descendant status is unknown” or

bly Bill (AB) 1604, the Upward Mobility Act in January 2022. The legislation requires the state to breakdown the data of state employees by ethnic origin. Furthermore, AB 1604, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2022, provides state workers with greater opportunity to move upward within state service through improvements and best practices in processes for hiring, recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce. The new disaggregation mandate is designed to help spot irregularities such as disparities in income, health care outcomes, career development and state agencies' leadership. Holden had previously pushed legislation to promote mobility for people of color in California’s civil services system and require diversity on state boards and commissions. Newsom vetoed AB 105 in October 2021, the legislative forerunner to AB 1604, which Holden also introduced. Newsom said in an October 2021 letter that AB 105 had “unintended consequences” and “elements of the bill conflict with existing constitutional requirements, labor agreements, and current data collection efforts.” When Holden was appointed chair of the Assembly Committee on Appropriations in January 2022 by then-Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood), he reintroduced the legislation as AB 1604. AB 1604 resembles legislation that requires data from other racial groups. In September 2016, former Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 1726 into law, requiring the state Department of Public Health to disaggregate data it collects by ethnicity or ancestry for Native Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific Islander. The question of identity became front-and-center in state government decision-making

For the first time, the descendants of our ancestors, people in my family and the families of over 2 million Californians, the overwhelming majority of Black California, will see our community represented and counted among the very important data our state collects, starting among current and future state employees when the California Reparations Task Force elected a lineage-based framework to determine eligibility for reparations. The nine-member panel decided that compensation should be limited to descendants of enslaved or free Black people whose ancestors were in the United States by the end of the 19th century. That narrow 5-4 task force decision overrode a model for determining eligibility that is race-based. Lodgson said that he believes the lineage-based arrangement will help Black Americans self-identify with their heritage in this country on the heels of Black History Month. In August 2023, Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) introduced Senate Bill (SB) 490 that would amend Title 2 of

the state government code to establish a new state agency called the California American Freedman Affairs Agency (CAAFAA). That agency would be responsible for managing the reparations process for Black Californians and determining eligibility under the lineage-based structure set up by the state’s reparations task force. “The first in the nation California Reparations Task Force re-affirmed the intent of the law that created it when it said descendants of persons enslaved in the U.S. would be the community eligible for Reparations,” Lodgson said. “The next step would be to collect information on which Californians are within this community and set up a way for the

state to help people show that they’re eligible.” According to a May 14, 2021, Pew Research Center report, Black and Hispanic adults were more likely than White adults to say their origins are central to their identity and that they feel a strong connection to their family’s cultural roots. On Jan. 18, 2024, PEW released data that the Black population in the U.S. has grown by 32% since 2000, rising from 36.2 million then to 47.9 million in 2022. In addition, the number of people self-identifying as another race in addition to Black has increased nearly 254% since 2000. In 2022, there were 5.1 million Black immigrants in the U.S., up from 2.4 million in 2000, according to PEW’s analysis of Census Bureau data. Immigrants accounted for 11% of the Black population in 2022, up from 7% in 2000. Race-based reparations would have stretched the eligibility pool for reparations to include anyone in California who identifies as Black as opposed to Californians with a direct connection to a person who was enslaved in the United States. According to the California Department of Finance’s July 2023 report, just over 39 million people reside in California. The Black/African American populations consist of 2,223,654 people (5.64%) in California. With a growing Black immigrant population across the country, Lodgson said that the disaggregated data being collected in California can serve as a model for the rest of the country. “This historic change is the result of the hard work of Black Americans, all volunteers, who come from outside of politics and yet were able to make something big happen,” Lodgson said. “This is a testament to what each of us can do. Just as important as anything else, as one of my colleagues recently shared, you can’t fix a problem if you don’t see a problem.”

Supervisor Janice Hahn, Metro, and local leaders unveil new name for rail line Supervisor Janice Hahn, LA Metro leadership, and a coalition of local leaders, unveiled the “Southeast Gateway Line” as the new name for the light rail line that will be built from Downtown Los Angeles through Southeast LA and the Gateway Cities to Artesia.

HE project has long been known as the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor—a name that has confused residents and elected leaders

alike. Supervisor Hahn has said that the bad name has prevented the project from getting the attention and funding it deserves. The “Southeast Gateway Line” won of a six-month renaming contest launched by Supervisor Hahn in partnership with LA Metro. Over 1,100 people submitted name ideas and 4,500 voted for their favorites. “This rail line is going to be revolutionary for communities in Southeast LA and the Gateway Cities, but its bad name has held this project back,” said Supervisor Janice Hahn. “I wanted to empower the future riders to pick a new name for this train – something they can connect with and that will help us de-

liver this project. The Southeast Gateway Line has the support of the people and this new name brings us one huge step closer to making it a reality.” The Southeast Gateway Line, which will break ground

During that incident, on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024, a vehicle was driven through the front door of the business which allowed entry to approximately 100 individuals, who ransacked

the business. Suspect No. 6 was additionally detained for his role in that incident. The investigation is ongoing to determine if these subjects are related to other robberies that have recently occurred in Los Angeles or surrounding jurisdictions. Residents should call 911 if a life-threatening emergency is detected and/or their local police business line if a suspicious person or vehicle is observed. The MCB can be contacted via e-mail at BRTF@ LASD.org for tips, questions, or concerns.

THIS WEEKS SOLUTION

(StatePoint) With only 8% of children and 21% of adults reporting receipt of the 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccine, less than half the population reporting receipt of a flu vaccine and just 20% of adults 60 and over reporting receipt of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, it’s no surprise that rates of respiratory illnesses are at elevated levels this season.

“

R E S P I R AT O RY illness is all too common, particularly during colder months when people spend more time indoors and germs can spread more easily,” says Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer, American Lung Association. “Fortunately, there are many strategies for staying healthy.” The American Lung Association is sharing everyday habits you can adopt to help avoid infection, along with information about available tools to help prevent severe illness: • Wash your hands. Regularly wash your hands with soap and water. If soap and water isn’t available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. • Cover your cough and sneeze. Stop the spread of

infection by using a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when you cough and sneeze. You can use your elbow if a tissue is not available. • Keep your distance. Close contact with a person who is sick increases exposure to respiratory droplets containing a virus. Maintain your distance whenever possible. • Stay home. In addition to staying home when you are sick, try your best to keep your distance from household members to help prevent them from getting sick. • Clean and disinfect. When someone is sick at home, cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces is especially important to help prevent the spread of illness. • Consider wearing a mask. Wearing a mask helps provide protection against circulating viruses, and can help protect people at higher risk of serious illness. Effectiveness does vary depending on the virus and mask quality. • Get up to date. Talk to your doctor to see if you and your family members are up to date on vaccinations. Flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. RSV vaccination is recommended for adults 60 years of age and older after having a discussion with their healthcare provider. Maternal RSV vaccination is recommended as an option to help prevent babies from

developing severe RSV illness and is given during weeks 32-36 of pregnancy during September through January. COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. • Learn more about monoclonal antibodies. If you have an infant or are an expectant parent, ask your healthcare provider about a monoclonal antibody injection to help provide protection against severe RSV illness. This preventative antibody is recommended for infants under 8 months of age and babies between 8-19 months at increased risk of severe RSV. • Get tested, if needed. If you do get sick, testing can help your healthcare provider determine which virus you have, and inform next steps such as treatment. Talk to your healthcare provider about testing right away if you get sick, especially if you are at increased risk for severe illness. • Seek treatment. Antiviral medications available for flu and COVID-19 may lower your risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death if started early and within the recommended treatment window. For more resources, visit, lung.org/viruses. To feel your best this season, adopt healthy habits. And if you do fall ill, take steps to get the right treatment.

PERSPECTIVE

I’m not diabetic but I am a sweet guy Dr. James L. Snyder want to know is my age. Lately, I've been very tired. Which has nothing at all to do with my age. Rather, it has everything to do with all these spam calls I get every day.

T seems most spam calls come during lunchtime when I’m eating. How dare they? I would get calls daily telling me that my car warranty had expired and that I could remedy that situation by signing up with their warranty program. They have everything I need, so they say. What I really need is an Apple Fritter. Nobody’s ever offered me that. One thing they did not have was my fist in their nose. But that's another story. Then there are those Medicare calls wanting to upgrade my coverage at no cost to me. One of the first things they

I get so sick and tired of this that after a while I came up with my story. "So, how old are you sir?" My response, "Well, I tell you, that is a difficult answer because every year my age changes, and I get confused, and I can't keep up with my actual age." There's a chuckle on the other end of the line and the person says, "So, when is your birthday?" Again, my response is, "Well, my birthday is the day I celebrate being born." I sense a little frustration on the other line, and then they say, "Tell me what day your birthday is on." "Well, one year it’s on a Tuesday, and the next year it's on a Thursday, and then it's on a Saturday, and boy, I can't keep up with it." Finally, I hear what I've been waiting for: a click from the other end of the line. I'm often confused when someone calls me and wants

me to tell them when they can deliver some medical equipment that will not cost me anything. It will be absolutely free. One person asked for my Social Security number, so I gave him 123-45-6789. That has to be somebody's security number, but it certainly isn't mine.

Then the latest thing is that some spammer calls me and tells me that they are sending me some medical equipment to help me with my diabetes. "So, sir," the spammer said, "do you have diabetes?" Why in the world do they call me thinking I have diabetes? Where are they getting that information? I know they

haven't talked to my doctor about it. Then I had an idea. The next time a spammer called me and asked if I had diabetes, I said, "I'm not diabetic, but I am a sweet guy." After doing that several times, one person angrily said, "Are you hitting on me?" "No," I said, "but I sure would like to hit you." There was a pause in those annoying calls and I had an opportunity to think about a Bible verse. David said in Psalm 18:3, “I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.” My thought was, no call from me could ever annoy God. He is waiting for me to call upon him. Whenever I call upon God, He is anxious to respond to my need. God doesn’t look on me as a spammer, but a claimer of His amazing grace. Dr. James L. Snyder can be reached by email at jamessnyder51@gmail.com

COMPTON BULLETIN WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2024

The new Compton High slowly coming into fruition The new Compton High School opening is just one year away, as the new campus is scheduled to open in 2025. The current construction is moving quickly, with close to 150 staff working onsite daily to complete the job.

ACH DAY, the site is getting closer to becoming what it’s supposed to be - a working campus, educating Compton’s scholars. The multi-year construction project began in 2019 with the demolition of the old school buildings, and the

final flattening of the original school structure taking place in July of 2021. The construction of the new facility has been in the works since then. Drive by the construction site at the corner of Alondra Boulevard and S. Acacia Avenue, you’ll see several buildings looking more and more habitable, rising above the surrounding property fences. Some of the most recent work on the academic building includes continued roof construction and installation of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire sprinkler lines. Windows, doors, HVAC ducts, bathroom tile, drywall, ceiling grid, and lighting is being added throughout the main building. In addition, there’s ongo-

ing work included the installation of the structural steel columns and beams to build the backbone of the Gym building. Current ongoing work includes installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing lines and installation of the roof. Construction of the Performing Arts Center is well underway now, with the footings and grade beams being added to the building’s foundation. This work includes the installation of the underground electrical and plumbing lines and installation of rebar, concrete forms, bulkheads, and anchor bolts to shape, hold, and limit the concrete on pour days. Current work on the pool includes installing the plumb-

ing and pool bottom reinforcement with the concrete forms and rebar to shape, hold, and limit the concrete on pour days. The outdoor tennis and basketball courts are taking shape, with installation of the power conduit for the tennis court lighting, trenching for drains and installing the concrete forms and rebar to shape, hold, and limit the concrete and flatwork on pour days. The new Compton High School represents the first new high school facility to be built in almost a decade in the greater Los Angeles area. The soon-to-be opened campus will replace the old Compton High School, which was more than 100 years old.

The construction project, supported by construction partners Design Firm DLR Group, building project management consulting firm Cumming, construction firm Swinerton, and a host of others, including building trades and small businesses. The district’s “Built by Compton” Initiative has been working to open doors to opportunity on the project and in the trades for local workers and small businesses. Measure S, which is funding the construction, was passed by Compton voters in 2015. The new Compton High School, set to welcome its first cohort of students in 2025, will feature a 31-acre high school, 1,800 students, and a 36,534 square feet gymnasium.

Flag football isn't just a game; it's a pathway for our youth to learn teamwork, discipline, building character, teaching life skills, and showing these young ballers how we stay elevated,” he added. The league, operated through NFL Flag, is scheduled to commence its inaugural season in March 2024 with games taking

p l a c e across the Los Angeles area in El Segundo, Long Beach and Cerritos. Formed to empower youth athletes in their ability to develop football skills, build self-esteem and learn the importance of teamwork in a safe, fun, inclusive environment, the Snoop & Housh Flag Football League

is open to Pre-K through 8th grade boys and girls of all skill levels. Parents interested in registering their children in the new, non-contact flag football league can do so by visiting www.snoopand houshflagfootball.org. Proudly supported by Nike, a leading brand synonymous with excellence and innovation, the league aims to inspire the next generation of athletes to pursue their passions and embrace the values of sportsmanship, dedication, and perseverance. The league, set to host separate winter, spring and fall seasons, aligns with The Los Angeles Chargers Impact Fund's commitment to empower youth and create access and opportunities in underresourced neighborhoods. "Football has been my life and now, alongside Snoop and the Chargers, we get to share that passion with the next generation,” said Houshmandzadeh. “The Snoop & Housh Flag Football League is more than football; it's an opportunity for these kids to discover their potential both on and off the field." In addition to football, the

Snoop & Housh Flag Football League will offer other unique experiences for participants including the chance to attend Chargers games, join training camps and participate in events headlined by current Chargers players and/or Legends, among others. “We couldn’t have asked for better partners than Snoop and T.J. in this exciting new venture,” said President of Business Operations and President of the Los Angeles Chargers Impact Fund A.G. Spanos. “Having spanned nearly two decades and impacting thousands of young lives, Snoop’s involvement in transforming the Los Angeles youth football landscape for the better is welldocumented,” Spanos added. “T.J.’s football journey, having begun his career locally at Cerritos College before ultimately achieving Pro Bowl status as an NFL wide receiver, is a testament to perseverance and shining example to the high school and youth football players he now mentors. Combining their vision and influence with the power and reach of the NFL, we’re hopeful this league will not only have a lasting impact on the future of football in Los Angeles but on the lives of all who participate.”

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 02/23/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Trustor: JOSE RAUL MARTINEZ, A MARRIED MAN, AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive, LLC Deed of Trust Recorded 03/07/2006 as Instrument No. 06 0487156 in book ---, page--- and of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, Date of Sale: 02/28/2024 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: BEHIND THE FOUNTAIN LOCATED IN CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, 400 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, POMONA, CA 91766 Estimated amount of unpaid balance, reasonably estimated costs and other charges: $ 181,169.38 THE TRUSTEE WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 2057 EAST HATCHWAY STREET, COMPTON, CA 90222 A.P.N.: 6155-018-016 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied,

regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 181,169.38. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www.altisource.com/LoginPage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2023-01450CA. 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, if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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)-518-5700, or visit this internet website https://www. realtybid.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-01450-CA 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. 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.

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.

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 (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site - www.servicelinkASAP.com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 165682.

‘The Beekeeper’ tries to keep up By Bob Garver Last week I wrote about “Mean Girls” and the problem of having seen a version of the movie before, which made it too familiar and predictable. I meant it in a very literal sense – there was a 2004 movie called “Mean Girls,” written by Tina Fey, with basically the same characters and story (though no musical numbers, those were a nice addition).

OW I’m making the same complaint about “The Beekeeper,” but in a figurative sense. There is no other movie called “The Beekeeper” that resembles this movie or involves the same people, nor is this movie technically based on any other intellectual property. And yet you’ll know what I mean when I say that I’ve seen this movie so many times before. Jason Statham plays Adam Clay, a drifter given work by the kind Eloise (Phylicia Rashad). Online scammers take every penny of Eloise’s savings, including over $2 million earmarked

for charity. Eloise’s FBI agent daughter Verona (Emmy Raver-Lampman) gets involved and has Clay arrested. He complies with the arrest, but this is the kind of character that only complies because he cares about Verona’s peace of mind and not because he is actually conceding power. He’s soon released,

and while he has no hard feelings toward Verona, he does want to shut down the scammers permanently. They don’t know it, but they’ve made an enemy of the world’s deadliest assassin. Clay starts out burning down the call center where the scammers worked, but of course the path of

destruction doesn’t stop there. He works his way up to the highest levels of the operation, inching evercloser to… “mastermind” isn’t really the word here, but figurehead Derek Danforth (Josh Hutcherson). Danforth has the help of his powerful mother (Jemma Redgrave) and a former CIA director (Jeremy Irons), who’s smart enough to have a great deal of respect for Clay. Verona is assigned to bring down Clay for his unlawful actions, and she’s really good at figuring out where he’s going to go next. She’s not good at knowing what to do with this information once she figures it out, but no one else on the law enforcement side is doing any better. It seems the bad guys kicked a hornets’ nest and angered a guy that was once assigned to protect the hive that is the United States. Also he had an amateur beekeeping/honey collecting operation in the barn where he lived. The movie makes every bee joke and metaphor it can muster, because the beekeeping gimmick is the only thing separating this movie from hundreds like it where an apparent nobody or everyman turns

out to be an unstoppable action hero. Ten years ago, Liam Neeson was the face of this genre, though it’s not like Hollywood hasn’t been mining this formula for decades. “The Beekeeper” doesn’t do too much to stand out from the swarm, but it’s enjoyable at times. Statham is his usual charming self, some of the action set pieces are pleasingly implausible, and the scummy bad guys are fun to punish. If you’re looking for nothing more than a movie where the most fun comes from speculating if the villain of the moment will get gunned down or blown up, this might be the movie for you. I’m looking for something where I can get a little more invested in the characters and story, which is why I can’t recommend it. I know this movie probably wants me to give it the next letter grade up, but I’m afraid it will have to settle for a… Grade: C “The Beekeeper” is rated R for strong violence throughout, pervasive language, some sexual references and drug use. Its running time is 105 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@nyu.edu.

Oscar nominations come for Brooks, Brown, Wright, and Domingo The Academy Awards have flushed out its Oscars list. Those included as nominees this year are some of the best in Hollywood. Both Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K. Brown were tapped for Oscar nominations for their incredible work in “American Fiction.” Brown was nominated for a performance by an actor in a supporting role. Wright earned his Academy Award nomination for a performance by an actor in a leading role as the star in “American Fiction.” Danielle Brooks, who dazzled audiences as Sofia in “The Color Purple,” picked up her Oscar nominations for a performance by an actress in a supporting role. Domingo, who also starred in “The Color Purple,” was actually nominated in the lead actor category for portraying civil rights activist Bayard Rustin in the film, “Rustin.”
