The City of Inglewood kicked off a robust holiday season with their 7th annual Turley Giveaway on Nov. 23rd at Hollywood Park, but the massive event hosted by Mayor James T.

Residents had to register to get the many goodies at Hollywood Park and they did so in abundance swooping up their goodies at the drive through event. 2,500 Inglewood residents, providing turkeys donated by Don Lee Farms, a bag of sides and additional items from Pepsi. Melissa’s, the official produce partner of SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, and American Airlines Plaza, will also donate 25,000 lbs. of
produce, including Idaho® potatoes, carrots and Granny Smith apples. The Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway is a drive thru event. “While we are not where we were last year, we are still seeing the effects of the pandemic in our community. It has created real hardships for many of our residents,” said Mayor Butts, “but through the support of our sponsoring partner, Pepsi, our host Hollywood Park, as well as the helping hand offered by Snoop Dogg, a longtime
supporter of the Turkey Giveaway, we hope this event will not only provide food for families but also bring some much-needed good cheer for the holiday.” “As a food and beverage company, PepsiCo feels a responsibility to give back to the community with essential items this Thanksgiving,” said Claudia Calderon, vice president of marketing, Pepsi Beverages North America, Continued on page 2

West Division. “This is our second year partnering with SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, and our local teams at the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, and we’re so grateful for these likeminded partners, because together we can accomplish so much more.” “It is our pleasure to host the City of Inglewood’s Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway for the second year at Hollywood Park,” said Jason Gannon, managing director, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. “We remain dedicated to supporting the City of Inglewood and our partner Pepsi for this event, which makes such a positive impact within our community.” Inglewood may have been the largest event to unfold, but PV Jobs, a Los Angeles based non-profit was right on their heels with a near 1,000 Turkey Giveaway that was held at their offices on Main Street in South Los Angeles. Individuals and families lined up by the hundreds get receive a Jennie-O from PV Jobs which also provided a hefty bag of can goods as well. Then there was LA Lounge in Inglewood that offered a smaller albeit impactful health fair and turkey give away in association with Our Global Humanity non-profit. Many elderlies and seniors participated in the health fair where free blood pressure checks were offered on Manchester and 5th in Inglewood. Individuals were presented with 17 pound Butterball turkeys at that event that last for roughly an hour. These gracious organizations and sponsors infused hope to many families that are struggling with rising inflation that could not come at a worse time.
provide unprecedented and long overdue investments in our nation’s housing infrastructure. “After decades of disinvestment in our nation’s affordable housing programs, years of insisting that housing is infrastructure, and months of tough negotiations, the House has persevered today. I am immensely proud that the House has voted to pass the Build Back Better Act, and that this bill is now with the Senate for what I hope to be an imminent and easy vote in favor of the American people. We have worked tirelessly to secure more than $150 billion in housing investments in this bill, which will create or preserve more than one million homes that are affordable and accessible to families in need. These funds include: ·$65 billion to address long overdue repairs and rebuild our nation’s public housing to be more climate resilient and energy efficient; · $24 billion for new Housing Choice Vouchers to support families struggling to afford their rent and help people escape homelessness and domestic violence; ·$26 billion to create and preserve affordable and accessible housing to address the nation’s housing shortage; and ·$10 billion in downpayment assistance to make the dream of homeownership possible for the millions of mortgage-ready firstgeneration homebuyers. “I also have made sure that the bill includes $1.6 billion to grow minorityowned businesses. “Rest assured that I will continue to fight tooth and nail, as I always have, until this historic, hard-fought piece of legislation lands on President Biden’s desk and is signed into law.”

“America Recycles Day” at SoFi Stadium with Kelso Elementary students
Staples Center, no more. New name: “Crypto.com Arena”
By Brea Mitchell, Staff Writer
By Brea Mitchell, Staff Writer
In honor of America Recycles Day, about 200 of Inglewood’s Kelso Elementary School students gathered at SoFi Stadium to learn more about the importance of recycling and repurposing materials, and how to incorporate sustainability into their daily routines. The event included educational games, scavenger hunts, hands-on workshops, and tips on how we can all contribute to preserving our planet. The kids also had the chance to tour SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams and Chargers. Also hosting the event was Ball
Corporation, an official SoFi Stadium sustainability partner and maker of the infinitely recyclable Ball Aluminum Cup, which they supply to fans at Rams and Chargers games in an effort to promote the importance of recyclable materials. Recycling will lead to a brighter future for our youth, environmentally and economically. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a 2016 study found that recycling and reuse activities in the United States accounted for 681,000 jobs, $37.8 billion in wages, and $5.5 billion in tax revenues.
In a $700 million deal, Crypto. com has purchased the naming rights of downtown L.A.’s Staples Center– current home of the Lakers, Clippers, Sparks, and the NHL’s Kings. The name change, “Crypto.com Arena”, is expected to go into effect on Christmas Day, 2021, as the Lakers host the Brooklyn Nets. Crypto.com is a digital platform where users can buy and sell cryptocurrencies, which many economists and tech industry professionals refer to as “the future of money”. The 20-year contract is among the richest in naming rights history, but the circulation of big money is nothing new to Los Angeles, especially with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer in town. In September, Ballmer announced his
own $500 million, 23-year naming rights deal with Intuit, a finance tech company, whose name will be on the upcoming brand-new Clippers home, which is expected to be complete in 2024. Also, in 2016, the Golden State Warriors signed a 20-year naming rights deal with Chase Bank worth $300 million. Reactions from Los Angeles natives and sports fans regarding the Staples Center name change has been a mixed bag, ranging from animosity all the way to indifference. “I mean, it was The Forum where they played before that, not even that long ago. Things change,” says Justin Logan, a 41-year-old Ladera Heights native whose parents are 35year Lakers season ticket holders. But in other cases, the name change has indeed triggered strong emotions throughout the sports fan world, which was to be expected, as passion has never been an element that sports fans have lacked. But one thing that Staples Center-loving Los Angelenos will always have– are the memories. Farewell, Staples Center. You were good to us!

Sports & Entertainment Season is over but future is bright for Inglewood Coleman Stadium improvements on the horizon in ‘22
By Kenneth Miller, Publisher
The emotions were raw. Inglewood players were battered and bruised by a far superior Bishop Alemany team in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 semifinals on Nov. 19 at Coleman Stadium, 56-30, ending a season foiled with a national debate on sportsmanship instead of the quality of the team itself. Players chastised each other, cried but ultimately embraced and relished what was a glorious campaign that should not be defined by one game, or one moment. They were 11-1. At least eight players will be moving on to Division 1 colleges, with three
committed to UCLA and the South Bay school that was once a laughing stock and sore eye is now the shinning little school on the hill. County Administrator Erica Torres paced back and forth on the outer track at Coleman and often what she witnessed on the field with her school losing she didn’t like. However, as Torres stated, she was staying till the bitter end no matter what. Inglewood was playing for a double digit division crown two years ago and was jumped to the second most competitive division in the section. Alemany could have competed in the Open Division against private power houses Mater Dei and Servite, but for
Inglewood as the No. 12 seed to go on the road and win at St. Bonaventure and then beat a tough Huntington Beach Edison team are achievements coach Mil’Von James and all of Inglewood should be proud of. In three years, Inglewood has gone from 0-10 to 27-2. When you have a collection of urban kids who hail from communities where life is most challenging winning at this enormous rate and then losing are vital learning experiences. Knowing James, as I do, he will be working around the clock to make sure that as many of his kids as possible are prepared for the next in their athletic and student lives. Simultaneously, he will be charting a
way forward for the returning players for next season with apologies and some regret but grateful for the opportunity to do what he loves more than anything else, coaching football and developing kids. The bitter taste of CIF-SS semifinal defeats in which running back dominated his defense will linger. The 90 year drought for a football championship for the school named after the city will remain, but with a new turf field coming early in 2022 at Coleman Stadium and the direction of the district stabilized more than it has ever been under Torres, hope springs eternal.
Inglewood team mom has much to thankful for Chargers travel to Bridgette Bender credits coaches for son growth Denver Broncos IT News Wire
By Kenneth Miller, Publisher
It’s game day for Inglewood High School football team and team mom Bridgette Bender is ready for the occasion. Wearing a forest green Inglewood T-shirt, and nail and toe polish to match the school colors, Bender had on her game face and lipstick to match. A single parent, Bender decided to move and transfer her son Charles Deloach III from Narbonne to Inglewood because of his declining grades and a chance to play for head coach Mil’Von James. “I heard a lot of good things about coach James and the program and it turned out to be the. Best decision that I could have made for my son. His grades improved and they mentored him as a player and person and I could not be more thankful for them,” Bender told Inglewood Today. Later that evening Inglewood lost 56-30 to Bishop Alemany in the CIFSouthern Section Division 2 semifinals ending an outstanding season and finishing 11-1. Bender is responsible for helping prepare meals for the players and collectively with other parents made sure that the students were able to get to and from school safely, but admits the challenges of raising a son in today’s social media environment. “It was hard because we have so much social media and kids have so many things going and things are so different when I was growing up, it was great that we had coaches like Inglewood has to step up and who understood the many struggles that many of these kids may be going through,” she added. “Coach James has
taught him how to be a man something that I could not do. He became a leader here at Inglewood because they taught him that.” Deloach, 5’11, 240 played defensive line and center and earned All Ocean League honors as a junior and became a team captain as a senior and is planning on attending college to pursue football and education when he graduates in 2022. He will be honor at the annual Unsung Heroes Leadership Awards black tie gala on April 3, 2022. His position coach Rayvione Mouton also has been a significant mentor in his life. Bender says her day begins at 5:45 a.m. and she awakes her son at about 6:50 a.m. and makes breakfast for Deloach and frequently teammates who may spend the night over. Charles greets her with “I love you mom” each morning. She will drop Deloach off at schools and return after school at about 2p.m. to bring him water or ice as he prepares
for practice. “All of these kids are my babies. If they need a ride home or to practice or to the game, I am there for them. I drive to Chino to pick up helmets for the team or anything they might need.” She added, “Coach James does a lot to help these kids, so I try to help him and the other coaches out as much as possible. They have their families of their own, but they sacrifice everything for these kids.” Bender shuffles all of these activities into her day that includes her job as a project administrator for a construction company and her pending business as transportation driver for the elderly. During Thanksgiving, Bender will prepare a small meal for herself and son, and likely will spend the holiday with her sister. Like many families it will be a day of reflection and thanks for a journey in life that is not promised and does not provide any guarantees, but it is always rewarding.
The Chargers come into Week 12 sitting at 6-4, but they certainly don’t like to make it easy for themselves. They had another contest go right down to the wire on Sunday night against the Steelers. Justin Herbert and the Chargers stole victory from the jaws of defeat in the dying moments. Here is our Chargers vs. Broncos pick and prediction for the divisional bout along with the NFL odds. Spread: Chargers -1.5 (Odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook) Moneyline: Chargers -125, Broncos +105 Over/Under: 49 Big matchup in close AFC West The AFC West is one of the most interesting divisions in the entire league right now. Yet, the Chiefs are beginning to emerge from the shadows and take center stage as the division’s front-runner. The Chargers, however, find themselves only one game back, making this Week 12 matchup against the Broncos even more important. Herbert and the Chargers have been involved in some of this season’s best thrillers, and Sunday night’s primetime game against the Steelers was no different. Nevertheless, it must be exhausting to continually take part in these back-and-forth games that run right down to the wire. Through the last four weeks, each of their contests has been decided by a score or less. The Chargers are rolling on offense, but the defense is lacking Brandon Staley got himself a head coaching role after doing a superhuman job with the Rams’ defense, who had a similar situation with a couple of star players surrounded by decent depth.

Analysts: California Is Moving into Next Budget Year With a $31 Billion Surplus Tanu Henry | California Black Media
California is expected to move into the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2022, with a whopping $31 billion surplus, according to estimates from the independent Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO). The LAO announced the anticipated surplus during a news briefing last week. “Under our current law and policy approach, we estimate the general fund revenue will reach $202 billion in the budget year and result in a surplus of about $31 billion for that budget year,” said Gabriel Petek, Legislative Analyst of the State of California, referring to LAO’s projections for fiscal year 202223. Petek said the large surplus reflects a number of trends. Among them are surpluses in the state current operating budget, money left in the economic reserve from the last fiscal year, higher revenues than projected for the last two years, etc.
“Revenue collections have grown rapidly in recent months, coming in over $10 billion ahead of budget act expectations so far this year. Underlying this growth is a meteoric rise in several measures of economic activity,” LAO report reads. That windfall in the state reserve could mean a rebate for taxpayers or more money for education and other public spending. State spending is expected to reach a cap set by California voters through a ballot measure in 1979 called the Gann Limit. When that happens, the state is compelled to return money to taxpayers by lowering taxes, sending out rebates or spending money on education. Salena Pryor, president of the California Black Small Business Association (BSBA) says she is encouraged by the investments the state has made to aid small businesses and to improve the overall economic outlook for Californians most impacted by the pandemic.
She hopes the state will use monies this state in our economic output of 21% from the surplus to sustain some of its GDP over the last five years.” initial investments. “There is still a lot more work to do. 41% of Black small businesses have Business Name Statement closed permanently due to COVID-19, Fictitious File No. 2021231480 so further investments into start-ups The Following Person Is Doing Business As: Smoke Shop and restarts would greatly benefit our Cali 11050 Prairie Ave., Unit D Inglewood, CA 90303 community,” she said.
