Milestone Year Will Be Focus of Butts’ SOTC Address

By Veronica Mackey

I

nglewood has shown significant progress in the year since Mayor James Butts gave his last State of the City Address. Speculation about the St. Louis Rams relocating to Inglewood and recent approval of plans to renovate downtown has peaked interests of the media and Corporate America.

Something big is about to happen in Inglewood. The sleepy, bedroom town is becoming a destination city.

What will it mean for residents?

Mayor Butts will put it all into perspective during his annual State of the City Address, presented by the Inglewood/Airport Area Chamber of Commerce.

resident Barack Obama’s historic announcement Tuesday to remove Cuba from the terrorists list has sparked a war of words. Not surprisingly, opinions are being expressed along party lines.

“Opening Cuba to travel and investment should have happened a long time ago,” said Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. She added, “I don’t know if Cuba should have ever been on the list, to tell you the truth.”

President Raul Castro Republican Senator Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants and a 2016 presidential hopeful, called the move a “mistake” and said the U.S. should support those who want a democracy.

Cuba was placed on the list of state sponsors of terrorism in 1982, after showing support for leftist guerrilla groups in Central and South America that carried out attacks on civilians in their efforts to overthrow U.S.-backed governments.

In 1959, Fidel Castro led a revolt to overthrow dictator Fulgencia Batista. Once in power, he struck a deal to purchase oil from Russia. When (Continued on page 2)

Cuba No Longer a Threat (Continued from page 1) U.S. refineries in Cuba refused to process that oil, he confiscated their facilities. This led the US to break off diplomatic relations. Soon President Dwight Eisenhower and other U.S. leaders were contemplating the overthrow of Castro by force. President John F. Kennedy inherited Eisenhower’s plan for a CIA-run invasion using Cuban exiles. In April 1961, the Bay of Pigs operation was launched, and quickly ended in disaster.

The economic embargo created bad blood between the two countries, and left Cuba isolated and stuck in 1959.

It is estimated that Cuba has lost more than $1.1 trillion in trade and tourism.

It is a country of old cars, buildings badly in need of repair, no movie theatres or Internet. The embargo has been condemned by Cuban citizens who say it hurts the people and not the leadership in power.

Now, for the first time in more than 50 years, the US and Cuba are willing to put differences behind them. Removal of Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism is seen as the first key step to normalizing relations between the two countries. President Obama wants to ultimately open an embassy in

Havana again.

Public opinion among Cubans varies as much as that of political leaders. More than half of younger Cuban Americans want the embargo lifted, but older ones, whose families

It has been two weeks since the last public council meeting. Since that time, Inglewood voters reelected officials, Councilman Eloy Morales (3rd District), Councilman Ralph Franklin (4th District), City Clerk Yvonne Horton, and City Treasurer Wanda Brown.

“I am grateful I am able to serve the City of Inglewood for another 4 years. I always said the people of Inglewood are our greatest assets,” Clerk Horton said.

Treasurer Wanda Brown thanked voters as well as those who came to her office for free help with filing income taxes. Brown will provide free tax assistance again next year to seniors who file with W-2 (Continued on page 10)

Blacks Do Care About the Environment

ith Earth Day upon us, people around the globe are reminded of how precious natural resources are to human life. Basics like healthy food, clean water, and a safe environment contribute to an overall healthier planet.

But often, the struggle to keep food on the table and the proverbial “wolf” away from the door has diverted the attention of African Americans, as a group, from becoming bigger players in the Green Movement.

This, however, does not mean that we don’t care about environmental issues. In fact, a new generation of black environmentalists is proving that we do indeed care about things that are green, and there is research to prove it.

In an article, titled “The Misconception of Black Environmentalism: African-Americans Speak Out On Earth Day” by Kezia Williams in Empowerment Magazine (http://www.empowermagazine.com, April 22, 2013), African Americans were shown to be far more interested in the Green Movement than many believe.

Williams writes: “Ten years ago Paul Mohai, author of ‘Dispelling Old Myths: African-American Concern for the Environment,’ found that Black people are more likely than White Americans to make lifestyle choices that help protect the environment in three categories: buying pesticide-free foods (37 percent of Black people vs. 29 percent of Whites), consuming less meat (16 percent of Black People versus 10% of Whites) and driving less (44 percent of African-Americans versus 64 percent of Whites).”

The fact that the report was published a decade ago validates that point that protecting our living environment has been a concern

Living in unhealthful situations is the result of poverty, the lack of education and resources, not a lack of concern. It is also the result of living in communities with high noise levels, abandoned homes, trashy streets, pest-infested living environments and toxic air.

A few notable African Americans are debunking this myth through their work in green activism. Bryant Terry (http://www.bryant-terry. com) is raising awareness on the negative impact that the industrial food system has on health and the environment through his cookbooks and web series.

Quentin James (http://www. quentinjames.com) is the former National Director of the Sierra Club Student Coalition, the nation’s largest youth environmental organization. He became passionate about environmental issues after reading a remark by a tobacco executive who said smoking is for “the poor, the black and the stupid.”

Kari Fulton (http://bigthink. com), a black youth activist with the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative, has worked with the United Nations to increase the presence of students of color at their climate change (Continued on page 11)

M

ore than 100 citizens filled the community room of Inglewood City Hall on Saturday for a town hall meeting on the state of the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD), which has been under state receivership since 2012.

The forum, hosted by Assemblywoman Autumn R. Burke (D-Inglewood), brought together financial and education experts from the state, county, and local levels to discuss the district’s current situation and its roadmap to returning to local control.

“We all know that strong, healthy communities depend upon good schools,” Burke said. “And, sadly we all know that our very own Inglewood Unified School District has been struggling.”

In 2012, nearing financial insolvency, Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation authorizing a loan of up to $55 million to keep the district open.

That legislation also authorized the state Department of Education to take control of the district.

In February, Burke and some of her state colleagues and staff toured

The district has rebounded from a budget deficit that neared $18 million a year ago to a projected deficit of just $1 million. Additional progress is being made in facilities, campus security, and curriculum—starting with the implementation of the federal Common Core standards.

“It’s going to take all of us pulling together to rebuild the district,” Burke said in closing. “Let’s be vigilant, strong advocates for our children and our community.”

Assemblywoman Autumn R. Burke represents the 62nd Assembly District, which consists of the cities of Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lawndale, El Segundo, and Gardena as well as the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Westchester, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, Venice, and parts of Del Rey. Additionally, the 62nd Assembly District includes the unincorporated Los Angeles County communities of Del Aire, West Athens, Lennox, Westmont, and Marina del Rey.

Inglewood History Lost

By Anne Cheek La Rose

T

he house sat on a small, quiet street next to the railroad tracks. It was a big, grand, pink house on 1.3 acres shaded by mature Eucalyptus. Rare for California, the house even had a basement. Built by Frank D Parent in 1920, with additions in 1922 and 1925, the house was nearly 5000 square feet of classic, but understated, elegance in a Spanish Arts & Crafts style. In her 1924 book, “Men Who Made Inglewood”, Constance E Zillgitt (herself the daughter of a founding father) noted ‘this house is one of the most attractive in the city with beautifully cultivated and spacious grounds’. After standing for 95 years, it was sold in late 2014 and was razed last month.

The house had seen better days.

Unoccupied for the better part of 10 years, it needed a fresh coat of paint inside and out. It was wellbuilt and some inside TLC and substantial yard work would have brought the home back to life. At

Anne Cheek La Rose one time, Inglewood had several large and lovely homes such as this.

Judge Frank Parent came to Inglewood from Abilene Kansas in 1910. By that time, he already had a law degree, but here, he initially worked in real estate and insurance. Parent built the first large business block in Inglewood, the Parent-Magee building on Market Street, and developed

a successful tract near Arbor Vitae Street. He was President of the Inglewood Realty Company (1910-1941) and served two terms as Realty Board President (1922-1924). Parent was a founder of the Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association in 1923. He was a charter member of the Board of the Chamber of Commerce in 1922 and charter President of the Rotary Club from 1930-1931.

Not content to confine his talents to real estate, Parent was also active in the early school system serving as Clerk of the High School Board and spent 14 years as a High School Trustee. For this work he was honored with naming Frank D Parent Elementary School in his honor just one month before his death in 1960.

Parent began using his law degree in 1922 when he served on a coroner’s jury that found an Inglewood policeman was killed by members of the KKK during a raid on a suspected bootlegger.

He served on the Inglewood Municipal Court from 1930 until he was elected to the Justice Court in 1942. In 1949 he automatically became one of two judges of the new County Municipal Court in Inglewood and served until 1958.

Parent was not new to this position having served in Long Beach and Los Angeles.

As if these accomplishments weren’t enough to leave a lasting mark on Inglewood and the area, two other things would certainly qualify.

Judge Parent championed bringing the 1928 air races and having Los Angeles lease the land for the municipal airport, now LAX. It is a shame to lose this house and the history that goes with it, but somehow, I think Frank D Parent would have approved of the progress.

BOE Estimates Tax on Services May Generate $122.6 Billion for California

T

he California State Board of Equalization (BOE) released an estimate recently, indicating that California’s state and local governments may receive approximately $122.6 billion in new revenue if tax was collected on services that are currently non-taxable. Of that amount, $60.9 billion could go to the state, with $61.7 billion for city, county, and other local government entities.

The estimate assumes a statewide average sales tax rate of 8.42 percent.

Currently, sales tax generally only applies to the retail sale of tangible personal property, such as a bicycle.

Most services are not taxed, except for required services related to the retail sale of tangible personal property, such as assembly charges associated

with the retail sale of a bicycle.

The BOE’s Research and Statistics Section produced this estimate at the request of the California State Senate Governance and Finance Committee. The BOE’s Chief Economist and research staff studied 15 categories of service industries, including health care, agriculture, construction, real estate, finance, transportation and warehousing, and various professional services, such as attorneys, accountants, hairstylists, car washes, and auto and shoe repair.

Researchers identified the components within each industry that are currently subject to sales tax, and excluded most of them from this estimate. This estimate took about four months to complete.

“Eliminating income tax is impractical, and inconsistent with our economic structure. However, it is wise to strike a taxation balance with the goal of stimulating job creation, capitalizing on innovation, and helping Californians compete with the rest of the world—without destroying our environment,” said Chairman Jerome E. Horton, State Board of Equalization, Third District.

“Without this balance, the adverse effects may push people and businesses out of California.”

“That last thing overtaxed Californians need is another tax—in fact, these numbers are dangerous in the wrong hands,” said Vice Chair George Runner. “A broader reliance on sales tax would only make sense

if it allowed us to eliminate California’s onerous income tax. My hope is this report will stimulate muchneeded conversation on how we can make taxes simpler for all Californians and attract more jobs and investment to our state.”

“Tax reform should be an incentive, not a covert word for job killer,” said Board Member Diane L. Harkey. “The best tax reform is job growth which would create more taxpayers, more revenue to the state, and a boost for California’s job seekers and creators.”

The revenue estimate, a fact sheet, and a spreadsheet with additional data are available online. Visit http:// www.boe.ca.gov/dataportal to find other publicly available BOE data.

“We continue to be engaged with the community,” he said. His next District 2 Townhall Meeting will be held on Thursday, May 7 at 6:30pm in Community Room A, City Hall.

Councilman Ralph Frank­lin recognized Kaitlin Brown, an outstanding City Honors student who recently received a $40,000, 4-year scholarship from Southern California Edison. Franklin, Inglewood educators and a team of volunteers put in sweat equity at Kew-Bennett to beautify the school.

Mayor James Butts used his closing remarks to address a rumor that the Forum would be demolished,

among other things: “The Forum will not be demolished, destroyed, what have you. The rumor was seized upon due to an interview with USA Today.” The tape was cut wrong, he said, and made to appear that Butts was talking about the Forum when he was actually talking about the old Hollywood Park racetrack. “We’ve got some silly people who got a hold of it, and put it on the Internet. You can tell your neighbors that’s just one of those urban rumors.”

He also addressed criticism about Inglewood residents paying to attend the upcoming State of the City Address on April 23.

The State of the City is the biggest fundraiser for the Chamber of Commerce, but any resident can come for free. The only seats where it cost money are those where the lunch is served. That costs money, so you have to charge.”

He ended by congratulating the 4 elected officials on their wins. “I thought I did a pretty good job with my election, but Councilman Morales and City Clerk Horton pulled in 88 and 90 percent. I feel like I squeaked by now.”

Dotson appointed, and Butts approved, Jacqueline Cochran to serve on the Library Commission and Maxine Toler to serve on the Senior Center Advisory Committee.

The City of Inglewood gave proclamations declaring the Week of April 11-17, 2015 as National Telecommunications Week and April 24, 2015 as Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide of 19151923.

Board of Supervisors Approves Funding to Help Trafficked Children

T

he Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has set aside nearly $7 million to address child sex trafficking as part of the 2015-2016 budget. The funds are expected to be used for sex trafficking prevention initiatives, programs and services including the creation of a specialized court for trafficked children in the foster care system to help stabilize them, provide comprehensive services, such as crisis counseling, educational classes, and advocacy to improve their chances of recovery.

In addition, the Board has asked for recommendations from the Departments of Children and Family Services, Health Services, Mental Health and Public Social Services on how best to serve children who are trafficked.

The commercial sexual exploitation of children is not only an international problem, but one also prevalent in Los Angeles. A large percentage of children that have been trafficked have also been in the child welfare system. Currently, children who have been trafficked and arrested are eligible to attend a special court called the STAR Court, or Succeeding Through Achievement and Resilience. Among the girls involved with the court, nearly 80 percent had prior contact with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.

“This funding shows our commitment as a board to address the issue of child sex trafficking. We are determined to do whatever we can to

help these children escape the life of trauma and exploitation that they have been forced into,” said Supervisor Ridley-Thomas. “A specialized court for children in the foster care system is only one component of what we hope will be a comprehensive approach to bringing these children the specialized services and attention that they need.”

“I am very pleased to stand with my colleague Supervisor RidleyThomas in opening up the process that will strengthen dependency specialty court programs,” said Supervisor Hilda Solis. “It’s important that we increase the number of attorneys who help children through the court process. We also plan to determine the appropriate solutions needed to support sexually exploited children.”

A dedicated court with a hearing officer, county counsel, child’s attorney, investigators and service providers specially trained to recognize and understand the serious trauma, stages of change, and unique issues surrounding recovery and high probability of relapse would likely lead to better outcomes for these children.

In addition, Supervisor RidleyThomas has asked for a report back on how the county can track the magnitude of sexually exploited children within the County of Los Angeles and an assessment of the outcomes of the services rendered to this population including the impact of the STAR Court Program.
