Imagine looking backwards 40 years at the City of Inglewood. Imagine experiencing first-hand the negative reports then of a city that was in turmoil and one that was rated at the bottom of those cities that comprise the South Bay. Now, imagine the view of long term Inglewood resident Patricia Patrick, who is now an Inglewood Commissioner on the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission and one who recently completed her appointment by her D1 Council Member George Dotson, on the Los Angeles County Grand Jury, where she authored the report, ‘Human Trafficking in Inglewood and Surrounding Cities.’ Patrick is a 40-year resident of the

geles Philharmonic Youth Orchestra Program, the award-winning Senior Citizens Center, to name only a few of the city’s recent and significant additions, she said, “I echo Mayor Butts’ recent remarks, ‘the only thing changing in The City of Inglewood is everything.” Patrick is a native of Chicago, Illinois where she was working as a paralegal with a notable law firm. When she made the decision to leave the Windy City for a considerably less harsh climate, her Chicago employer introduced her to his law school roommate with a strong employment recommendation, noting her professionalism, breadth of knowledge and legal experience and ef- Continued on page 2

Three years ago Mil’Von James was a coaching star in the high school when he led Los Angeles Hawkins High School to the brink of a Los Angeles City Football Championship in 2016. Life could not have been better for both James and Hawkins, an obscure high school in the shadows of city powers Narbonne, Crenshaw and San Pedro. After all when James arrived at Hawkins in 2013 he was the head coach of junior varsity, but after just
Fremont who earned a scholarship to UCLA before finishing his collegiate career at UNLV, set Hawkins out on a football glory run that would produce Division I players that would eventually play for USC among others. The success at Hawkins turned to horror when following the 2016 season the City Section cited the program for the use of ineligible players, forcing the principal, vice principal and football coaches to be fired. The school was placed on probation and Hawkins had to vacate a season of success.
“We enjoyed great success, but unfortunately it did not turn out the way that I would like, but all things have to come to an end,” said James. James left Hawkins in 2017, and as he says just traveled around the country observing football games. When asked why it ended, James responded: “Everyone has an opinion on that. I know the truth and the truth is a lot of people were not prepared to deal with what we were doing. It was easier to paint a narrative that was Continued on page 7 JOIN US ON

Patrick graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills following her award of an associate degree in Chicago.

Mayor Butts opened this week’s council meeting by reading a commendation from the entire council for Bryant Inglewood Towing Service. His reading was accompanied by a visual presentation of the company’s fleet of vehicles and was followed by a Bryant family member who graciously thanked the city and members of the council for allowing them to perform decades of service to the citizens of Inglewood. Mayor Butts next read a commendation presented to the owners of the City of Inglewood Inglewood Blackhawks Football Team who finished the season with a 14-0 record and won their division. The owners thanked the community and the council for their support and they later presented Mayor Butts and Council Member Padilla with championship rings in appreciation for all of their support. In the matter of city business, a public hearing was set to consider Zoning Code Amendment 2019-001
(ZCA-2019-0001) to Chapter 12 of the Inglewood Municipal Code to allow towing service with ancillary vehicle storage and ancillary vehicle inspection in the C-S (Commercial Service) zone citywide. The Council adopted Ordinance No. 2020-01 amending Inglewood Municipal Code Chapter 3 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) Article 4 (Parking Meter Regulations) Section 3-92(e) (Parking Meter Rates) to allow the City to collect or pass through convenience fees charged by third parties to process electronic payments to the per-
son who chooses to make an electronic payment for a metered parking space. Mayor Butts added that this measure dramatically improves the method by which residents and visitors in the City may pay their parking meter fees and receive alerts on their cell phone when their time is about to expire. The council approves an initiative by Council Member Alex Padilla, District 2, requesting approval of City Sponsorship for the 7th Annual District 2 Christmas Toy and Canned Food Drive to be held on Saturday, December 14, 2019, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at the Community Center
located at 1201 N. La Tijera Boulevard. They also approved an initiative by Council Member Ralph L. Franklin, District 4, requesting approval of City Sponsorship for the 15th Annual District 2 Christmas Toy and Food Drive Celebration to be held on Thursday, December 12, 2019. Mayor Butts pointed out that the city’s approval does not come with any financial cost to the city, but merely indicates that it is a city authorized event. During the public comments portion of the meeting, Council Member Dotson thanked the community again for their support of the First Annual
5K Walk and Run event and the individuals who made it such an enormous success. Member Padilla announced that on October 20 the City of Inglewood will celebrate the memory of those who have passed on and invited everyone to join this celebration of life. Member Franklin thanked his D4 resident and notable elected official Gloria Gray for inviting him to visit the local water re-cycling facility where over 200 billion gallons of water has been processed. Before adjourning the meeting Mayor Butts congratulated Chad Smith for his Tuesday appointment as the CEO of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. He noted, with a smile, that his appointment may have been bolstered by his vision of building the Los Angeles Youth Orchestra in the City of Inglewood.

Sports & Entertainment Steve Ballmer sends message to James
Dolan over new Clippers arena:
‘You can’t knock us down!’ By Stefan Bondy New York Daily News
Steve Ballmer sent a public warning to James Dolan as the two continue their billionaire Battle Royale over land in California. “You want to hit us in the nose? OK! We’ll keep moving,” Ballmer told re-
porters Thursday. “You can’t knock us down! I’m not sure they understand what they’ve gotten themselves into, from my perspective in the sense that we’ll just keep going.” Ballmer is determined to build his new Clippers arena in Inglewood despite the opposition from Dolan, who wants to avoid the venue competition with his Forum just a mile away from the proposed construction site. Dolan has levied lawsuits and bankrolled a failed mayoral candidacy in Inglewood to block the project, despite the new Clippers arena being supported by NBA commissioner Adam Silver. It has led to an uncomfortable business relationship and Ballmer alluded to it when Dolan’s name was mentioned Thursday. “My partner in the NBA! It’s a weird form of partnership,” Ballmer said. Steve Ballmer, left, and James Dolan are pictured in this combination photo. Steve Ballmer, left, and James Dolan are pictured in this combination photo. (AP) Several years ago, through smear campaigns and other tactics, Dolan successfully blocked the construction of a new Jets arena in Manhattan. Dolan acknowledged in court to spending between $12 million and $14 million on that campaign. He’s taking a similar approach in Inglewood but Ballmer — one of the world’s wealthiest men as a co-owner and co-founder of Microsoft — has vowed success.
Ballmer’s proposed arena would be entirely privately funded. “[MSG] did really participate in blocking that Jets stadium in New York. They did. It was supposed to be there some place on the west side of town,” Ballmer said. “We’re going to keep patient. We have plenty of time. Keep patient, keep going.”
The Clippers hope to move to Inglewood in 2024 when their lease expires at Staples Center. But they’re dealing with a lawsuit from MSG that doesn’t have a trial date until 2020. Ballmer can break ground after an agreement with the City of Inglewood, but with lawsuits pending, he risks sinking money into a project that a court forces him to abandon. MSG can also file a lawsuit asking for a preliminary injunction, which is meant to maintain status quo and keep Ballmer from even starting construction. The Clippers are third fiddle to the Lakers and Kings at Staples Center and would love a relocation. The league approves because, among other reasons, it would ease scheduling problems at Staples Center. According Dolan’s testimony from MSG’s lawsuit, Silver proposed a compromise that included The Forum receiving a fee for any concerts booked at the new Clippers arena. Dolan was not interested. Silver also tried to broker a meeting between the sides but it was rejected. “It didn’t happen. I don’t know why it didn’t happen,” Dolan said. “I think it may have something to do with everybody wanting to bring their lawyers, which was seen as unproductive. “That was the end of the matter. But, in any case, a proposal made to us on this basis (of Silver’s compromise) would not be acceptable in terms of the problem we have with the new Clippers arena.”
Schilling shelled at
Bellator 229 at Forum World-class striker Joe Schilling got a taste of his own medicine as he suffered a brutal third-round knockout loss to Tony Johnson during Friday’s Bellator 229 card at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Schilling is among the more heralded strikers currently competing in mixed martial arts but if he is used to being the hammer in the majority of his contests, he found himself as the nail
submission. Schilling survived the danger and began to re-establish himself on the feet but the fight would be stopped at the 2:07 mark of the third after Johnson landed a left hook after Schilling missed with a step-in elbow. The shot sent Schilling crumbling to the canvas where Johnson tied a bow around his performance by landing a right hand to the defenceless fighter moments before the referee called the bout.
when he squared off with Tony Johnson as part of Bellator’s latest card. After a promising opening to the first round in which he repeatedly put his opponent off balance with a barrage of leg kicks, Johnson gave Schilling a taste of what was to come when he dropped him late in the round and attempted to secure a guillotine choke
The loss is Schilling’s sixth in ten professional MMA bouts and comes after successive wins in his last two fights. Elsewhere on the card, Lorenz Larkin defeated Andrei Koreshkov by split decision in the main event while Goiti Yamauchi earned a first-round armbar submission win against Saad Awad.

Pioneering actress Diahann Carroll dies “She blazed trails through dense forests and elegantly left diamonds along the path for the rest of us to follow.” -Ava DuVernay IT News Wire
Pioneering actress Diahann Carroll, the first black woman to star in a nonservant role in a TV series as “Julia,” has died. She was 84. Carroll’s daughter, Susan Kay, says her mother died Oct. 4 in Los Angeles of cancer. During her long career, Carroll earned a Tony Award for the musical “No Strings” and an Academy Award nomination for best actress for “Claudine.” But she was perhaps best known for her pioneering work on “Julia.” Carroll played Julia Baker, a nurse whose husband had been killed in Vietnam, in the groundbreaking situation comedy that aired from 1968 to 1971. “Diahann Carroll walked this earth for 84 years and broke ground with every footstep. An icon. One of the alltime greats,” director Ava DuVernay wrote on Twitter. “She blazed trails through dense forests and elegantly left diamonds along the path for the rest of us to follow. Extraordinary life. Thank you, Ms. Carroll.” Her film career was sporadic. She began with a secondary role in “Carmen Jones” in 1954 and five years later appeared in “Porgy and Bess,” although her singing voice was dubbed because it wasn’t considered strong enough for the Gershwin opera. Her other films included “Goodbye Again,” ’’Hurry Sundown,” ’’Paris Blues,” and “The Split.” The 1974 film “Claudine” provided her most memorable role. She played a hard-bitten single mother of six who finds romance in Harlem with a garbage man played by James Earl Jones. In the 1980s, she joined in the longrunning prime-time soap opera “Dynasty” as Dominique Deveraux, the glamorous half-sister of Blake Carrington; her physical battles with Alexis Carrington, played by Joan Collins, were among fan highlights. Another memorable role was Marion Gilbert, as the haughty mother of Whitley Gilbert (played by Jasmine Guy) on the TV series “A Different World.” “Diahann Carroll you taught us so much. We are stronger, more beautiful and risk takers because of you. We will forever sing your praises and speak your name. Love Love Love, Deb-
bie,” wrote actress, dancer and director Debbie Allen, who was a producer on “A Different World.” Although she was not the first black woman to star in her own TV show (Ethel Waters played a maid in the 1950s series “Beulah”), she was the first to star as someone other than a servant. NBC executives were wary about putting “Julia” on the network during the racial unrest of the 1960s, but it was an immediate hit. It had its critics, though, including some who said Carroll’s character, who is the mother of a young son, was not a realistic portrayal of a black American woman in the 1960s. “They said it was a fantasy,” Carroll recalled in 1998. “All of this was untrue. Much about the character of Julia I took from my own life, my family.” Not shy when it came to confronting racial barriers, Carroll won her Tony portraying a high-fashion American model in Paris who has a love affair with a white American author in the 1959 Richard Rodgers musical “No Strings.” Critic Walter Kerr described her as “a girl with a sweet smile, brilliant dark eyes and a profile regal enough to belong on a coin.” She appeared often in plays previ-
ously considered exclusive territory for white actresses: “Same Time, Next Year,” ’’Agnes of God” and “Sunset Boulevard” (as faded star Norma Desmond, the role played by Gloria Swanson in the 1950 film.) “I like to think that I opened doors for other women, although that wasn’t my original intention,” she said in 2002. More recently, she had a number of guest shots and small roles in TV series, including playing the mother of Isaiah Washington’s character, Dr. Preston Burke, on “Grey’s Anatomy” and a stretch on the TV show “White Collar” as the widow June. She also returned to her roots in nightclubs. In 2006, she made her first club appearance in New York in four decades, singing at Feinstein’s at the Regency. Reviewing a return engagement in 2007, a New York Times critic wrote that she sang “Both Sides Now” with “the reflective tone of a woman who has survived many severe storms and remembers every lightning flash and thunderclap.”
Chargers Head Coach Anthony Lynn:
Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said. “Not every play, but we were tuned into where he was and how we were going to play him. It wasn’t just happenstance.” When asked about Denver’s defense, quarterback Philip Rivers believes the team can learn from the ways that unit was able to execute successfully. “I think we gained something,” Rivers said. “I have a great deal of respect for the defense and their coaches. Obviously, what Coach Fangio has done in his career and this league and what those players have done defensively in their careers, the combination of that is what defeated us. That will be valuable for us to take a look at. It’s going to be a
“I Know We Have What It Takes” Chargers.com
Regroup. That was the message evident from head coach Anthony Lynn’s presser on Monday, less than 24 hours after Sunday’s 20-13 loss to the Denver Broncos. Lynn’s focus was on how to get on the same page and reinforce consistency as his team heads into the Week 6 Sunday Night Football clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers. “Any time we don’t win, we’re frustrated,” Lynn said. “We’re looking for
answers, and I know we have what it (takes). It’s just a matter of getting on the right track and being consistent and doing it every single week.” One of the reasons Denver’s defense was particularly effective in the game was due to the way in which they covered Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen, who only had four receptions on six targets for 18 yards. Meanwhile, Denver’s run defense limited the Chargers to just 35 yards rushing. “We gave (Allen) a lot of attention,”
Carol Diann Johnson was born in New York City and attended the High School for the Performing Arts. Her father was a subway conductor and her mother a homemaker. She began her career as a model, but a prize from “Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts” TV show led to nightclub engagements. In her 1998 memoir “Diahann,” Carroll traced her turbulent romantic life, which included liaisons with Harry Belafonte, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Sammy Davis Jr., Sidney Poitier and David Frost. She even became engaged to Frost, but the engagement was canceled. An early marriage to nightclub owner Monte Kay resulted in Carroll’s only child, Suzanne, as well as a divorce. She also divorced her second husband, retail executive Freddie Glusman, later marrying magazine editor Robert DeLeon, who died. Her most celebrated marriage was in 1987, to singer Vic Damone, and the two appeared together in nightclubs. But they separated in 1991 and divorced several years later. After she was treated for breast cancer in 1998, she spoke out for more money for research and for free screening for women who couldn’t afford mammograms. “We all look forward to the day that mastectomies, chemotherapy and radi-
ation are considered barbaric,” Carroll told a gathering in 2000. Besides her daughter, she is survived by grandchildren August and Sydney. combination of what they did to defend us and what we could do better.” “I really thought after that, (we would) get the momentum back and start rolling,” Lynn said. “We just didn’t finish.”

7th game of the season at home against 1-5 West Torrance with a sparkling with an unblemished 6-0 record under James in his first season at the helm. “As soon as I arrived here on campus we hit the weight room. We didn’t do anything else, but lift weights. We had to establish a core foundation of what we wanted to be,” said James. James said he wanted the players to get bigger, faster and stronger. “We put those kids in the weight room and they lived in there. Academics and weight room. We didn’t touch a football until late June.” He says the success the Sentinels are enjoying is from the coaching staff challenging them mentally and physically. “It’s not so much as being the best athlete, I take pride in building the best athlete but, it’s also about building them mentally.” He wants the players to understand why and how various schemes and
coverage’s work. The Sentinels spend more time in the classroom watching film than they do on the practice field where this week they only wore the pads for about an hour and a half. Inglewood only has about 30 players on a great day, so James says it’s about being smarter. He credits senior wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig as being one of the foundations from which he had to build. “He’s been here all four years. He lives right across the street. He has been an Inglewood kid from Pop Warner and he bleeds the City of Inglewood,” James elaborated. James says Craig was the first kid that he met when he took the job. “I made it a point to meet him because I had heard some good things about him. He was the player of the year in basketball and I wondered why is this kid sticking around on an 0-10

far from the truth than to actually give credit to a group of young Black men who was working harder than they did.” James was 26-27 years old at the time and admittedly made some mistakes along the way, but none too egregious that could not have been corrected. Hawkins still has not recovered, but the man responsible for building a football powerhouse from scratch is on the rebound. Inglewood High School hired James to take over their failing football program in the early spring of 2019, a challenge potentially greater than what he endured at Hawkins. The Sentinels were coming off a winless 0-10 campaign, following three losing seasons under three head coaches. This week, the Sentinels enter their

football team,” James questioned. After the two talked, Craig demonstrated to James how passionate he was for the school and the football team and the love that he had for the community. “That meant everything to me. So, I ran everything through him and told him this was his team and the turnaround will be on his back.” It was kids such as Jaquan Banks, Chris Gonzalez and Devin Hancox, players that most people would not give much credit to that are essentially responsible for Inglewood enjoying a special season. The 34-year old James encouraged the players to defeat a 0-10 mentality. So far, the Sentinels and James are on their way to the playoffs and then a chance to play for something really special, but if nothing happens from this point on they have already redeemed themselves.

Continued from page 4: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: What Matters 2020...
Houston’s historic Third Ward - a place known for its rich Black history and culture. The debate marked the first presidential campaign debate at an HBCU since 2007. While in Houston for the debate, Cullors announced that BLM was rolling out a new nationwide initiative to help increase voter registration and turnout. Cullors, along with co-founder of the Los Angeles chapter of BLM Melina Abdullah and Managing Director Kailee Scales, introduced the new nationwide initiative entitled - ‘What Matters 2020 - Issues That Impact Minority Communities’, with a dedicated focus on getting the vote out for the 2020 presidential election. Cullors states that BLM’s goal is to hit all major cities where Black folks live and engage Generation Z to increase voter registration, turnout and overall engagement. “Black voters have traditionally been the Democratic Party’s most loyal constituency and younger voters represent the future of the party,” said Cullors. “We thought it was important that we use this platform to ensure that our constituency has the resources to be informed when tuned into the debate and that the candidates know just how
impactful our vote will be to this election.” Working in conjunction with a cross-section of partners from all sectors, BLM leaders are seeking to directly impact the 2020 election cycle by ensuring candidates are held accountable for the issues that systematically and disproportionately impact minority communities across the nation. “‘What Matters 2020 – Issues that Impact Minority Communities’ will increase voter registration and turnout by deploying technology applications, establishing candidate accountability and employing grassroots strategies to access, inform and empower minority communities during the 2020 election cycle,” Cullors tells the NNPA Newswire. Issues this initiative will mobilize around include: • Racial Injustice • Police Brutality • Criminal Justice Reform • Black Immigration Environmental Conditions • Voting Rights & Suppression • Economic Injustice • Healthcare • Education • Commonsense Gun Laws • LGBTQAI • Human Rights In addition to introducing this ini-
tiative, BLM plans to directly interact with candidates and students, and will be launching technology applications aimed at increasing voter registration and turnout in 2020. “We will engage and empower all Black folks, our allies, and underserved communities to use their collective voices and votes to achieve the outcomes we want, need and deserve in 2020,” Cullors tells the NNPA Newswire. “We will educate BLM constituents about candidates and the issues that impact Black voters most, and promote voter registration and voter turnout among the Black community, our allies, and Generation Z. This initiative will inspire and motivate people to ask themselves and their candidates are you really addressing ‘What Matters in 2020?’” In measuring the success of the initiative, Cullors states that they will be monitoring the results based off of the outcomes that come prior to the 2020 election. “We will know that we are successful when each candidate has an acceptable and tangible comprehensive plan that specifically addresses racial injustice, criminal justice reform, police brutality and reparations, among other issues that impact the Black community,” Cullors states. Since the organization’s inception
in 2013, BLM has been on the frontline of many issues impacting minority communities including police brutality, criminal justice reform, education, Black immigration, public policy and more. For these efforts, they have been widely recognized, received and in many instances, criticized. They continue with the work, however, and hope this effort will galvanize marginalized and minority communities all across this country. Perhaps more importantly, BLM has reminded the Black community of its own power and collective strength. To find out more about this effort and initiative, people can visit blacklivesmatter.com/what-matters-2020, to learn about key issues and candidates, register to vote, pledge to vote and join the ongoing conversation by engaging them on social media platforms using #WhatMatters2020.
