Police Search Cannabis

Grower's

HOME SALINAS, CA --- On Thursday morning, July 20, police rammed the front door open of Mike Hackett’s residence searching for drugs. The home is located in a nice neighborhood on El Paso Place. Officers searched his home and two SUVs, where agents removed marijuana, passports, binders and a digital camera as evidence.

No arrests were made. Attorney Elisa Stewart of the Emeryville firm Stewart & Musell, which represents Hackett’s Riverview Farms in Salinas. She said she was the third attorney for Hackett to arrive during the course of the search, and the third to request a copy of the search warrant—and to not receive it. Tom Worthington,

Hackett’s criminal defense attorney, says officers refused to show him the search warrant, and would only allow him to speak to Hackett while an officer stood alongside them. He says an officer threatened to arrest him if he didn’t get off the property, and he thought breaking down the front door was an extreme measure: “I thought it was strong-arm tactics,” he adds.

“Obviously, the authorities in San Benito County think he’s in violation of a law. We do not think he’s in violation of any law at all,” Worthington says.

“My understanding is that if he has possession of marijuana, it is lawful possession of marijuana.”

Worthington believes

the search is connected to Hackett’s arrest in Hollister on July 1; he was released on bail July 2, and has not been charged in

connection with that incident, stemming from an alleged bar fight during the Hollister rally, a motorcycle gathering.

Black Publishers Push for Report on Federal AD SPENDING

By Stacy M. Brown (NNPA Newswire Contributor) The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is set to begin work on a report detailing advertising spending by federal agencies—particularly as it pertains to Black and Latino media companies.

“After several senators joined our request, including Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, GAO sent us an update in February saying that the request would take about six months of work,” said Benjamin Fritsch, a spokesman for Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), who first called for the report during a press conference with National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) members and representatives of the National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP).

auditing, evaluation, and investigative services for Congress.

Charles Young, the managing director of public affairs for the GAO acknowledged that the request for a new report was formally received in February.

“Staffing was not expected to be freed up from existing work for several months and we now expect to begin the work in August or September,” Young said.

In March 2016, Norton called on the office to issue a report on federal advertising contracts and subcontracts with minority-owned newspapers Publishers, See page 12A

Voices and View Points The “School” of Adversity, Storms, Problems Words to Live by

Dr. Lonnie G. McCowan, pastor of Miracle Center of Ventura

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan I know firsthand that we as people discover our true strength and true self, as well as our true significances in the storms we often face.

I’ve seen this in hundreds of lives over the years the principle we all must embrace to reach our full potential in life would probably not be possible without some kind of storm or problem. Without them we’d probably never change.

I know it doesn’t seem to make sense, without setbacks, storms, or situations that challenge us things would always stay the same!

Sometimes the setbacks the shakeups and even the breakups are wakeup calls for us to come face to face with who we really are. I know for me my greatest growth times were during my most challenging times.

Someone said adversity introduces you to yourself.

In order to advance from our adversities and prosper from our problems, we must

begin with understanding that in spite of all the storms and the stuff we have been through, you deserve better and that within you the God given power to do and be better. The Bible calls this Christ within you the hope for glory. In other words, if any glory is going to come out of our life it is going be because we tap into the Christ that is within us.

One of the first things you have to do if you are going to navigate through things that try to keep you down is to understand you cannot run from what you’re facing.

Running from what we face will not cause it to disappear.

Rather it will cause it to develop bigger and show up in other areas of our life.

So instead of running from the problem, storm or adversity, approach it as a learning experience.

I do this all the time. I ask myself, what can I learn from this? How can I use this to assist my goals and dreams? How can I use this to become a better person?

How can I use this to redefine what I’m about? How can I use this to redefine a new path for me to walk on? How can I use this to maximize my potential and tap into my unused gifts?

When we approach problems, storms and adversities from this mindset it removes us from the victim position and puts us in the

victors’ position. Another great thing that happens with problems, storms and adversities is they force us to break free from our rituals and mundane routines that sometimes keeps us trapped and limited. A lot of times we are unaware of all the resources and the beauty that exists around and within us until we face something that forces us to look deep within at all the possibilities that are right before us.

One of the greatest things I’ve come to know in my life is that storms, problems and adversities are often forks in the road that help me change the course that I’m on. In many cases they help me reprioritize the things that I have deemed important activity when in reality it is just activity that is taking me away from my true purpose and calling.

I guess what I’m saying is that difficult situations sometimes help us determine things that are really valuable in our life instead of things that are just taking up time in our life.

One of the greatest skills I think everyone should have is the skill or rather the boldness to confront “ourselves.”

Adversity, storms, problems force us to ask ourselves the hard questions during difficult times. You cannot rationalize or explain circumstances away; you have to deal SCHOOL, See page 12A

The Neighborhood

The Mind Matters

By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC A voice was silenced this week. A voice fueled by anguish and pain. Chester Bennington, a singer and songwriter who was the front man for the group Linkin Park, was found dead by suicide at the age of 41. Chester led a troubled life which included drug and alcohol abuse. The troubles began as a child. His parents divorced. He suffered sexual abuse. He was beaten.

Life was not fun.

Earlier this year in an interview with Music Choice he said, “My whole life, I’ve just felt a little off. I find myself getting into these patterns of behavior or thought – especially when I’m stuck up here [in my head]; I like to say that, ‘This is like a bad neighborhood, and I should not go walking alone.’”

Learn news skills and take home a $2,000 reporting grant!

Dear California Journalist, Some of the best journalism being produced today marries data analysis and visualization with a powerful narrative. If you've got the narrative part nailed down, but would like to improve your data skills, we have an exciting opportunity for you -- the all-expenses-paid Center for Health Journalism's 2017 California Data Fellowship, which comes with four days of interactive training, six months of mentoring and a $2,000 reporting stipend.

Our 14-year-old center is known nationally for offering the pre-eminent training program for journalists on community health issues. With the explosion of data sources now available to any journalist with a computer and a high-speed internet connection, we're pleased to be able to offer our second health data-focused fellowship, underwritten by grants from the California Health Care Foundation and The California Endowment.

We'll bring 10 competitively selected California journalists to Los Angeles at our expense from October 25-28; provide them with four of intensive skills-based training in data acquisition, cleansing, analysis and visualization techniques; and then send them home with reporting grants to be used to work on an ambitious health-related reporting project. Two of the nation's most respected data journalists will lead the sessions -- Stanford Professor Cheryl Phillips, former data innovation editor at the Seattle Times, and Paul Overberg, a data editor for the Wall St. Journal -- with assistance from other top data journalists from around the country.

We'll also bring your editor to L.A. for a day or two to take part in an Editor-Fellow Workshop.

Each applicant must be comfortable using Excel and propose an ambitious datainformed Fellowship project. Preference will be given for data reporting on health policy or such health topics as mental health and substance abuse; healthcare costs and healthcare financing; the performance of California's safety net; the patient experience; the healthcare workforce; health care coordination; the use of opioid drugs; end of life and palliative care; telemedicine and the use of technology in health care delivery; data transparency and the health care industry; maternity care and cancer care.

Want to know more? Write Martha Shirk at CAHealth@usc.edu or check our website.

Maybe you learned to escape the neighborhood in the same way that Chester escaped… with substance abuse. Or maybe you escaped in a different way.

You are never good enough.

“You should do this.” “You better not do that.” The committee may be made up of your parents, your boss, your spouse. The committee may be as large as an entire set of cultural beliefs and religious rules. It could be as small as your own ego. The committee may give you the wrong directions so you end up in a place you didn’t intend to go.

“In order to uphold this ideal, we must first be open to conversation. I believe we create barriers due to fear and lack of knowledge in things we are not accustomed to. Be it religion, etc.”

“We can uphold the ideal by showing respect to individuals and giving them what you would want in return as an individual.”

“Respect is the most important part of upholding the ideal. Loving one another keeps people together.”

“Simply by hugs, hellos, or handshakes, we will break through all hostility.”

“Peace and friendship is always a good idea.”

“Celebrating International Day of Friendship is important, especially now when tension between different races and cultures are high. Let’s stop judging each other.”

Law Office of Zulu Ali Selected Top 10 Law Firms by AIOLC

(Black PR Wire) - The Law Office of Zulu Ali in Riverside, California has been named one of the 10 Best Law Firms in California for Client Satisfaction in the areas of Criminal Defense, Immigrations, and Personal Injury by the American Institute of Legal Counsel (AIOLC). The annual list honors exceptional performance by California law firms in selected areas.

The AIOLC is a thirdparty attorney rating organization that publishes a yearly list of the Top 10 Law Firms in each state.

Attorneys and firms selected to the “10 Best List” must pass AIOLC’s rigorous selection process, which is based on client and/or peer nominations and AIOLC’s independent evaluation of attorney’s relationships with and reputations among their clients.

The law firm was founded by its owner and principal attorney, Zulu Ali, a Tennessee native, former

police officer, and U.S. marine veteran, who was inspired by the work and legacy of civil rights attorneys Thurgood Marshall, Avon Williams, Jr., Charles Hamilton Houston; and other advocates and leaders of the civil rights movement. The mission and philosophy of the firm is to advocate for changes in the law when the law is unjust.

Although the mission and diverse makeup of the law firm subjects it to immense scrutiny, the firm continues to be inspired by its mission to preserve and fulfill the legacy of those leaders and advocates of the past who sacrificed in order to make a more just society.

“I believe the mission of a lawyer should be to strive for change and challenge the courts when there is injustice. In our firm, we put it on the line despite the immense scrutiny and consequences we may face. But for brave attorneys and advocates who are willing to

step out the box, we would still be in segregation or servitude if the laws and courts were not challenged. Many attorneys and advocates are chilled and neutralized because they are usually targeted, ridiculed, and subjected to reprimand or worst when they test the status quo, but it is necessary despite the risks” Principal Attorney Zulu Ali adds.

The firm’s founder and principal attorney, Zulu Ali, been named Top 100 Lawyers by the National Black Lawyers - Top 100; Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers - Top 100 Trial Lawyers; Premier 100 Trial Attorneys by the American Academy of Trial Attorneys, also known as the National Academy of Jurisprudence; Top 10 Best Lawyers by the American Institute of Legal Counsel in the areas of Criminal Defense, Immigrations, and Personal Injury; and Top 10 Criminal Law Attorneys by the American Jurist Institute.

Congresswoman Lee Seeks Funding to Strengthen Affordable Housing Programs, Combat Homelessness

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced a set of amendments to the FY 2018 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill. The amendments would increase federal funding for affordable housing programs to assist low-income families and support the fight to end homelessness.

Congresswoman Lee introduced two amendments that would invest millions in funding toward preserving affordable housing programs. To bolster the HOME Investment Program, Congresswoman Lee fought for a $350 million increase to the program which helps homeowners, renters, and tenants do much needed repairs, construct affordable homes, and support housing for the homeless and people living with disabilities. Additionally, Congresswoman Lee sought $140 million in federal funding to assist Public Housing Authorities across the nation with administration of housing vouchers on a timely basis.

“Housing is a human right. Every American deserves access to safe and affordable housing. Withdrawing funding from programs like HOME while underfunding Public Housing Authorities devastates millions of low-income families struggling to make ends meet,” said Congresswoman Barbara Lee. “As American families continue to seek affordable housing, Congress

Dear CAUSE friends, Last night the Oxnard City Council voted to declare itself a “Safe City” for undocumented residents, who make up 1 in 6 people in Oxnard. The Oxnard Police Department does not and will not enforce federal immigration law or work with federal agents to deport our community.

This officially makes Oxnard the first Safe City in Ventura County. Thank you to the leadership of Councilmembers Carmen Ramirez, Oscar Madrigal, and Bryan MacDonald who supported the resolution along with Police Chief Scott Whitney and the Oxnard Community Relations Commission. Most of all, thanks to the hundreds of community members who have showed up to meetings in support of this issue.

But it won’t be a complete victory until California passes SB54 and limits collaboration between the Ventura County Sheriff’s office and federal deportation agents.

Will you contact Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin and tell her to follow Oxnard’s lead by voting for SB54?

This isn’t the only way Oxnard is leading: Oxnard is also on the forefront of California’s environmental justice movement, with victory just around the corner in the long battle to stop the Puente power plant.

Can you join us at the California Energy Commission hearing in Oxnard tonight?

We’ll be at 800 Hobson Way, gathering at 5 p.m. for the public comment beginning at 6 p.m.

Thanks, Maricela

should be assisting them, not constructing new barriers to their success.”

With more than half a million Americans experiencing homelessness including more than 118,000 Californians, Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced an amendment to restore funding for the US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), which has worked tirelessly with federal, state and local officials to produce a coordinated strategy to end

homelessness in the United States.

“Homelessness is a complex and multi-faceted issue that demands a comprehensive federal strategy to aid those in need. The Council is the only agency whose stated mission is to end homelessness once and for all,” said Congresswoman Barbara Lee. “We simply cannot afford to shudder an agency that is critical in the fight to ensure that every American has a roof over their heads.

AG Becerra Files Amicus Brief in Case

Involving Unaccompanied

Immigrant Youth

LOS ANGELES– Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed a friend-ofthe-court brief in In re Denis G., a case involving an unaccompanied immigrant youth seeking legal immigration status. At the invitation of the Los Angeles Superior Court and the suggestion of the California Supreme Court, Attorney General Becerra weighed in on this issue of great importance regarding youth fleeing dangerous conditions in their home countries.

“Imagine a child you know fleeing to our country because she was being abused, abandoned or neglected by her parents. As people, can we really turn our back on them? Californians have answered 'no' by passing laws that provide a clear and consistent process so that these children can seek refuge by obtaining legal status,” said Attorney General Becerra. “I am committed to promoting the safety and security of all California children.

I will work to make sure that our state laws are consistently applied so that our courts remain open to those who must undergo the legal processes necessary to seek a visa.”

In recent years, California has worked to streamline the process that allows children, like Denis, to ap-

Attorney General Xavier Becerra

ply for “Special Immigrant Juvenile Status” (SIJS) with the federal government. That process allows certain minors who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents to remain in the United States. Youth who wish to apply for this type of immigration relief from the federal government must first obtain an order from a state court making certain findings.

Filed at the court’s invitation, yesterday’s amicus brief discusses the vital role our state courts play in making child welfare decisions as part of the special immigrant juvenile process, describes applicable state laws, and emphasizes the importance of ensuring that children are able to pursue any valid claims for SIJS.

CSUCI wins international award for online learning innovation

Camarillo, Calif. — CSU Channel Islands (CSUCI) has won a New Media Consortium (NMC) Center of Excellence Award.

CSUCI was one of two universities that were awarded the honor out of 14 finalists from around the world. The award recognizes NMC member institutions with an exceptional record of integrating technology with learning or creative expression.

“The New Media Consortium’s Center of Excellence Award is the highest honor bestowed by the NMC,” said NMC Executive Director Eden Dahlstrom. “We are highly selective when we bestow this award and we don’t give out the CoE award every year. CSUCI’s untethered faculty development stood out as an exemplar of an innovative approach to building faculty digital literacy.”

“CSU Channel Islands may be new, and our team may be small, but the work we are doing to support faculty creating new ways to teach and learn has an impact far beyond the boundaries of our campus,” said Michael Berman, Ph.D., Vice President of Technology &

Innovation at CSUCI. “We are honored and thrilled that NMC has recognized this impact by naming us a Center of Excellence.”

CSUCI Executive Director of Teaching & Learning Innovation Jill Leafstedt, Ph.D., said the University has taken an “untethered” approach when working with faculty members to integrate more technology into the classroom and to build digital literacy across the campus.

“Untethered” means faculty members can access new information about digital classroom innovations at any time, at their convenience, rather than going to a conventional workshop.

Also, the digital techniques developed by CSUCI’s Teaching & Learning Innovation are

“scalable,” which has led to multiple campuses in the US and world-wide adopting and adapting CSUCI’s innovations.

Digital teaching techniques are also humanized to assure that students develop deep human connections with their instructors and with each other, a factor that’s well-established to improve student success.

“We’ve been working really hard to move CSUCI forward,” Leafstedt said.

“To be recognized internationally for our work is really powerful.’

CSUCI’s Teaching & Learning Innovation team was presented with the award at the 24th Annual NMC Summer Conference in Boston, MA in June.

(NewsUSA) - CME Group has once again partnered with National 4-H Council to sponsor the interactive and educational Commodity Carnival, which will visit 120 state and county fairs in the Midwest during the summer and fall of 2017. The Commodity Carnival and companion app, Risk Ranch, give players a fun and engaging way to learn about agriculture by bringing a steer to market.

"CME Group's roots are in agriculture, and we are pleased to provide this program for the fifth straight year," says CME Group Chairman and CEO Terry Duffy.

"We look forward to helping the next generation of farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness leaders to better understand the concept of risk management in a fun way and from a young age."

The participants in the Commodity Carnival will learn how to grow and bring a "steer" to market. If they are successful, they can win a

blue ribbon while improving their literacy in agriculture science and basic economics.

"Our partnership with CME Group has allowed us to instill fundamentals of risk management and basic economics with young people throughout fair season and beyond," says National 4-H Council President and CEO Jennifer Sirangelo.

"This program helps students develop problem solving, communication and technical competence skills, and those are essential for both positive youth development and prepara-

tion for the workforce."

The Commodity Carnival's entertainment and education is not limited just to the fairgrounds. Kids can continue to learn about real-life cost and risk management through the award-winning agriculture app developed by CME Group, "Risk Ranch."

Derrick Rose, Cavaliers reportedly in Udonis Haslem signs one-year deal 'serious talks' on one-year deal to return to Heat Derrick Rose and LeBron James shared five straight MVPs from 2009-13.

By Henry Bushnell The Cleveland Cavaliers are in serious talks to bring Derrick Rose to Northeast Ohio on a one-year contract, according to a report from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst and Adrian Wojnarowski.

Rose, who remains one of the top unrestricted free agents on the market, would join LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in Cleveland, presumably as the team’s backup point guard.

Irving is the team’s starting point guard, and the Cavs signed Jose Calderon earlier this month as a ballhandler off the bench, but

Rose would likely slot in ahead of Calderon on the depth chart.

Rose’s fit with the Cavs would be a puzzling one, though. In recent years, Cleveland’s backup point guards, who often play alongside James, have tended to be shooters comfortable playing off the ball.

When James plays with bench units, the offense runs through him, and those bench units often feature as many shooters as possible to space the floor for James.

Rose, however, is the opposite of a spot-up shooter. He shot 21.7 percent from 3-point

land last season, and is a sub30 percent shooter from beyond the arc for his career.

But perhaps Rose could have a very specific role that doesn’t involve sharing the floor with James. Maybe coach Ty Lue and the Cavs would plan to use him primarily when James and Irving rest. Rose can still get to the rim off the dribble, and if he could run Cleveland’s bench units, that would take some of the load off James during the regular season.

In the playoffs, if the Cavs need a shooter at the backup point guard spot when LeBron reverts to

playing 40-plus minutes per game, that’s where Calderon would come in. He’s a career 40 percent 3-point shooter. He’s not necessarily a player you can rely on in high-level, high-stakes games, but he would fit alongside James for short stretches better than Rose would.

The overarching question, though, is how much Rose has left in the tank.

Selected No. 1 overall by the Chicago Bulls in 2008, he was fantastic in Chicago for four seasons, winning the league’s MVP award in 2011 and leading the Bulls to first-place finishes in the East in 2011 and 2012. But Rose tore his ACL in the opening game of the 2012 playoffs, and he has struggled with injuries since. With the explosion that made him so special all but gone, he’s become an extremely inefficient offensive player.

Rose spent last season with the Knicks after an offseason trade from the Bulls.

He played 64 games and averaged 18 points per contest, his highest scoring average since the 2012 injury.

He also averaged 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds. It was his most effective offensive season of the past five years.

Still, his advanced metrics weren’t great, and there’s a reason there hasn’t been much of a market for him.

Stud, Progency Fees and Sales: The Most Expensive Horses Ever

When you think of horse racing, you think of money.

The amount of money to be made within all the different verticals of the sport is astonishing. Everyone from the jockeys, to the breeders, to the horse sponsors, to the television companies, to the punters (should they guess the right result) make money. It is indeed a luxury industry and one that a great deal of people would love to work in. Let’s look at the horses who made the most amount of money from stud fees, progency fees and sales.

5. American Pharoah

Triple Crown winner American Pharoah demands huge stud fees. Since starting his second act as a stud in February 2015, the American Through has pro-created with over 100 mares, and for every healthy foal, his fee is a sizeable $200,000.

Ashford Stud farm bought his stud rights in 2015 for an undisclosed amount, a decision that has paid dividends with the five-year-old already having made $20 million. That is more than twice the $8.7million prize money American Pharoah scooped during his career in which he won nine of 11 races.

4. Frankel

Unbeaten Frankel commanded $150,000 for his stud fees. Having ended his career on a 14 winning streak, there was huge demand for his offspring. It was reported that just 1 year after retirement, the horse earnt his owners $19 million in stud fees – reportedly 5 times what he made throughout his whole racing career. Having been a busy boy, it is fitting that his strike rate closely matches his glorious 100% career win record. 126 of the 133 mares who have visited him to date have given birth to healthy foals.

3. Seattle Dancer

Seattle Dancer’s sale came in 1985 for $13.1 million so you can only imagine what the horse would go for in today’s market. While he scooped major wins in 1987 in the Gallinule Stakes and Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial, his record on the rest of the track was relatively modest. Following that winning year, he entered and sired a total of 37 stakes race winners.

2. Green Monkey

In 2006 the Green Monkey was sold for $16 million aged two. The thoroughbred was the most expensive racehorse ever sold at auction but ultimately failed to live up to its fee and proved unsuccessful on the tracks, competing in just three races with a third place finish its best achievement. Two years after his big sale, he retired and became available for stud duty for a mere $5,000 – practically a bargain compared to Frankel and American Pharoah.

1. Fusaichi Pegasus

The most expensive racehorse ever is Fusaichi Pegasus with the stallion attracting a record fee of $60 million. The horse won six of the nine races it entered, with its most noticeable wins coming in the Wood Memorial Stakes and the 2000 Kentucky Derby. Following the 2010 breeding season, he has stood exclusively in Kentucky with Grade 1 winners Bandini and Haradasun among his offspring. However, Fusaichi Pegasus is typically regraded as a disappointment as a stallion, especially considering his hefty price tag.

Udonis Haslem

By Shams Charania Udonis Haslem has signed a one-year, veteran’s minimum contract to play his 15th season with the Miami Heat, league sources told The Vertical.

Haslem’s deal will be fully guaranteed, league sources said.

Haslem, 37, has been a foundational member of the Heat and played a critical role on NBA championship teams in 2006, 2012 and 2013. He played 16 games last season, tran-

sitioning into a leadership role to complement the team’s core of Hassan Whiteside, Goran Dragic, James Johnson, Dion Waiters, Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson.

Miami re-signed Johnson and Waiters to four-year deals this offseason and signed former Boston Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk.

Haslem went unselected in the 2002 NBA draft out of Florida. He’s averaged 7.8 points and 6.9 rebounds for his career.

Bartolo Colón might retire after his next start

By Chris Cwik It took 20 seasons, but we found the one thing that will force Bartolo Colón to leave baseball: Pitching for the Minnesota Twins.

The 44-year-old Colón told Marly Rivera of ESPN that he has considered retirement, and may make that decision based on how he performs in his next start.

We here at The Stew aren’t in the business of drawing up odds, but we would put our money on Colón’s next start being his last. Unless the Twins alter their rotation, Colón will face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. The Dodgers are fifth in the majors in run scored this season.

Colón has been dreadful this year. In 14 starts, Colón has an 8.19 ERA. He’s allowed 100 hits in just 67 innings.

If this is it for Colón, he’ll leave behind a strange legacy. Early on in his career, Colón was a fireballer who could eat up innings.

He contended for the Cy Young award a few times before winning it in 2005.

Things started to go downhill in 2006. Colón posted a 5.11 ERA during an injury-riddled year. He would continue on that path until 2009. Colón started 12 games for the Chicago White Sox that season, posting a solid 4.19 ERA. But he mysteriously disappeared from the team during the year. He was out of baseball in 2010.

Colón returned at 38, and suddenly appeared to turn things around with the Oakland Athletics. Most of it was

Bartolo Colón

due to a change in approach.

Colón basically threw nothing but 88 mph fastballs, but was able to command the pitch well and cut the ball enough to be effective. It was almost too good to be true.

Colón was hit with a 50-game suspension in 2012 after testing positive for a heightened level of testosterone.

That didn’t scare off the New York Mets. The team took a chance on Colón, and he produced solid numbers over three seasons, even making the All-Star Game as a 43-year-old in 2016. With the Mets, Colón became a fan favorite. He also earned the nickname “Big Sexy.”

Fans knew Colón’s age would catch up to him at some point. Father Time remains undefeated, after all.

While many will mourn his probable exit, they shouldn’t.

Colón not only lasted 20 season in the big leagues, but did so despite some significant hurdles. He’s had one of the most fascinating careers in recent memory.

Texas Judge Sexted Her Bailiff Florida Mayoral Candidate To And Used Him To Buy Drugs Black People ‘Go Back To Africa’

By Shamika Sanders Texas judge Hilary H. Green was suspended for allegedly sexting her bailiff and using him to buy drugs, hiring prostitutes and buying marijuana seized from a defendant, TheWashingtonPost reports.

Despite public knowledge of some of Hilary’s misconduct, she was reelected to a Harris County justice of the peace.

Ronald Green, Hilary’s ex-husband, made the startling accusations during their divorce proceedings, which led to the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct to file a formal complaint. According to Green, she is a drug addict, who “operates daily with impaired judgment as evidenced by her presiding over cases in which she has ongoing sexual relationships with litigants and witnesses.”

Hilary’s ex-lover Claude Barnes claims they had sex with prostitutes.

“We smoked marijuana.

We had a couple drinks and then three of us had sex,” he testified.

According to the ex, he and Hilary did ecstasy and aided in purchasing prescription cough syrup off the Black market. She also sexted her bailif, telling

Texas Judge Hilary H. Green

him she enjoys “oral” and had him purchase cough syrup.

“That sounds like a very good dream/fantasy,” Green wrote in text messages. “You know I’m all about oral.”

Hilary denied hiring prostitutes but admitted to abusing drugs “almost every night” for years, court documents say.

“To this day, Judge Green has apparently made no attempt to reassign the bailiff with whom she actively participated

in an inappropriate sexual texting relation and whom she recruited to assist in illegal drug activity,” the executive director of the commission wrote. “She engaged the services of a peace officer to commit a criminal act, and indeed he was apparently willing to do so. Incredibly, Judge Green sees nothing wrong with the arrangement.”

Green’s suspension will remain in effect until a civil trial, which will determine if she should be removed from office.

Murder Charges Dropped In Fatal Stabbing Of Houston Boy

By Juan A. Lozano HOUSTON — A murder charge has been dropped against a homeless man accused of fatally stabbing an 11-year-old Houston boy as the child walked home from school last year, prosecutors announced.

DNA tests prosecutors received this week were inconclusive and there wasn’t enough evidence to try 28-year-old Andre Timothy Jackson Jr. for murder, said Harris County First Assistant District Attorney Tom Berg.

Josue Flores, a sixthgrader, was killed as he walked home from a science club meeting at Marshall Middle School just north of downtown Houston on May 17, 2016. Authorities say the boy was stabbed at least 20 times.

Jackson is still a suspect in the slaying but authorities are essentially starting over with their investigation, Berg said.

“This was a very difficult decision we had to make… We are not forgetting Josue,” he said.

Jerome Godinich, Jackson’s attorney, said he was not surprised by the decision from prosecutors as he believed his client was not responsible for the boy’s killing after reviewing evidence in the case.

“I think the DA’s office made the right decision,” Godinich said.

Jackson, who’s been jailed on a $100,000 bond since his arrest, was expected to be freed.

Jackson, a Marine Corps veteran, had been arrested at the Salvation

the killing, but that charge was dropped when detectives found evidence to support his alibi.

Andre Timothy Jackson Jr.

Army in downtown Houston, where he had lived for a couple of months.

Prosecutors had said Jackson admitted he was the man seen on a surveillance video near the crime scene.

But none of Josue’s DNA was found on Jackson’s clothing and no DNA from Jackson was found on the boy’s clothing, Berg said.

“We are not saying that Andre Jackson is innocent and is excluded as a suspect,” said Tiffany Dupree, the prosecutor handling the case. “We’re just saying at this point, if we tried this case to a jury, we don’t feel we could secure a conviction.”

Godinich said he is not worried that Jackson will be charged again with the boy’s murder.

The boy’s family was disappointed but they want prosecutors to be able to prove their case and get “justice for Josue,” Dupree said.

This was the second time prosecutors had dropped charges in the case. A 31-year-old man with a long criminal history was charged days after

By Sonya Eskridge Florida Mayoral Candidate Paul Congemi dismissed calls for reparations and told Black people to go back to Africa.

Let us repeat that: A 60-year-old man, who is running for mayor in St. Petersburg, Florida, told Black people to go back to Africa. According to The Washington Post, Congemi unapologetically made the inflammatory statements during a forum as he addressed a opponent, Jesse Nevel, and his supporters.

For reference, Nevel is actually a White man, who has made the issue of reparations part of his platform. His campaign is supported by the Uhuru Solidarity Movement, which believes that paying reparations to the descendants of slaves are good first step in healing the nation’s racial divide.

In Congemi’s opinion, Black Americans got their reparations paid in full when Barack Obama was elected President of the United States in 2008. Apparently, the highest political office is equivalent to centuries worth of unpaid wages. Who knew?

“Mr. Nevel, you and your people talk about reparations,” he said, mentioning Jesse Nevel, a white campaign opponent who heads a group calling for reparations for AfricanAmericans. “The reparations that you talk about, Mr. Nevel, your people already got your reparations.

Your reparations came in the form of a man named Barack Obama.”

Paul Congemi, candidate for mayor of St. Petersburg tells activists in debate their “reparations were Barack Obama” and to “go back to Africa.”

And Congemi told the crowd gathered at Tuesday’s forum he believes that Black people who don’t love the United States, should leave. He said, “My advice to you, if you don’t like it here in America, planes leave every hour from Tampa airport. Go back to Africa. Go back to Africa. Go back!”

Congemi told The Washington Post that he doesn’t feel that way about all Black people, though.

He insists that he has “nothing against AfricanAmericans who are doing their best here in America.”

Surprisingly, this was Congemi’s first run-in with Nevel. “I had never met Jesse Nevel until last night,” Congemi said. “It’s obvious he is a self-hating white man.” He also accused Nevel and the Uhuru Solidarity Movement of

having no solutions.

For his part, Nevel acknowledged that Congemi’s statements “reflects a segment of my community. I’ve met plenty of other people who feel that way. That’s why I feel that it’s important for those of us in the white community to take a public stand with reparations.”

Last year, the United Nations also asserted that the United States owes reparations to AfricanAmericans due to the nation’s history of “enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality.”

Congemi had been a democrat before President Obama stated his support of same-sex marriage. Now, he’s a Republican supporter of Donald Trump.

Amazon launches a social network for spending money

Save on Your Summer Road Trip Adventure

book last-minute, consider using hotel coupon books, hotel-booking apps, group coupon sites or reward points to save a little more.

Camping could be another alternative to booking a hotel, which can be particularly cheap if you already have gear like tents and sleeping bags.

Managing your mileage could add up to major savings. Though fuel prices may generally be down, the cost of filling up your tank can still add up. To make this cost more manageable, you can take advantage of apps that help you find the best gas prices in your area. In certain cases, you may also want to consider renting a more fuel-efficient car. You can save even more by mapping your trip ahead of time to avoid road tollways and construction that might slow you down.

Keep kids entertained to avoid unnecessary stops. Kids tend to get antsy in the back seat, which can lead to more frequent stops and a few impulse buys if you’re not prepared. Packing snacks and meals ahead of time can help you avoid making extra purchases at the gas station, and will often be cheaper.

SUMMER, See page 11B

Amazon is virtually everywhere you look at this point; from your nightstand, to your refrigerator and, of course, your smartphone. And now the company is launching its own kind of social network called Amazon Spark.

Available for Amazon Prime members using the company’s iOS app, Spark is a Pinterest-like service that lets users upload images of themselves using products, or just products. Other users can then view those images and follow links to purchase the displayed items through Amazon.

You don’t have friends on the social network, though. And you can’t search for particular users.

Instead, you can follow people so that they show up in your feed more, but you won’t get any updates on their lives or anything along those lines.

So far, the majority of the images I’ve seen on Spark look like they were taken by professional photographers, while just a handful seemed like they were shot by regular consumers using their smartphones.

The service’s social aspect is similar to Facebook’s Instagram in that you upload, comment on and share images. When you do upload a photo of a product to Spark, you have the option to add a link to its Amazon Prime page, giving other users a quick means to purchase it.

Images with Prime links have small shopping bags in their bottom right corner with a number corresponding to the total products you

can view.

You don’t have to include purchase links in your photos, though, and you can always just upload a photo you want to share like any other network.

To ensure you’re not bombarded with images of items that you have no interest in, Amazon requires that you select up to five areas of interest. If you get tired of an interest, you can easily delete one of the five and add a new one.

Like any social network, Spark gives you a public profile made up of a profile image, your Amazon Wish Lists and registries, and your community activity.

Of course, Amazon also offers a number of privacy options, including the ability to hide all of your activity.

Spark also has an Explore section that allows you to view Amazon’s Staff Picks and trending posts, as well as popular posts in a variety of categories.

By Daniel Howley Part II of II Moving from iPhone to Android – Part I If you’re more inclined to switch from your iPhone to Google’s Android, your change is going to involve a few different steps.

First, you’ll have to download the Google Drive app on your iPhone. Next go to the app’s options page and select “Settings”.

Tap “Backup” and then “Start Backup.” Your contacts, calendar and photos and videos will then be uploaded to your Google Drive account.

Next, take your fancy new Android device, and run through the setup process until you get to the page asking if you’d like to “Copy your data” or “Start up as new.” Select “Start up as new.”

You’ll then have to enter your Gmail address and password to log into your Google account. After that, you can continue the setup and your phone will automatically pull the information you backed up from the cloud down to your phone.

You won’t, however, be able to carry over your apps. Instead, you’ll only get your photos, contacts and calendar information.

Moving from iPhone to Android – Part II If you want to get nearly everything off of your old phone, you’ll need to select “Copy your data” back on the original Welcome setup screen. You’ll also need to have the appropriate cables and adapters available.

For instance, if you’re copying your data from an

iPhone to a Pixel, you’ll need your iPhone’s Lightning cable and a USB to USB C adapter to plug the cable into connect the phones.

Your Android phone will then tell you to check your iPhone and tap “Trust” in the dialogue box asking if you should trust the device you’ve just connected.

After that, you’ll need to enter your Gmail address and password. Your

Android device will then connect to your iPhone and find Android apps that match all of the iPhone apps you’ve downloaded.

Not everything will carry over, though. Photos stored in iCloud, for example, won’t transfer, but photos stored on your iPhone will.

Tap “Copy” let the Android phone copy your data, finish up the setup and you’re done.

By Nathaniel Sillin Are you packing up your car and hitting the road this summer? You're not alone. According to a survey conducted by AAA, road trips are the most popular type of vacation for families in the U.S. in 2017. In fact, 10 percent more families are expected to take road trips this year than last.

From driving to the tip of Cape Cod, to seeing the Great Lakes all the way to a drive through the Yosemite Valley in California, there are limitless ways to explore on the road. Whether you’re going to visit family or taking off on an epic adventure, a road trip can be a great way to make travel about the journey rather than the destination.

Before you hit the road, make sure your car can handle the trip.

Before you pack up your car, it’s a good idea to take your car to a mechanic and ensure that it’s ready for the drive. Having your car inspected and serviced by a mechanic before a road trip can be a worthwhile investment that could both save you money and prevent an untimely breakdown. Looking into a rental car is an alternative you may want to consider if you’re hoping to avoid wear and tear that might depreciate your car’s value. Consider your options carefully and choose what makes most financial sense

for you.

Pack for bumps along the way. A flat tire or dead battery can put a serious damper on your road trip, especially if you’re not prepared. Keeping a spare tire in your car and checking your tire pressure and tread should be on your pre-trip checklist. Along with your bags, bring a few items for preventive maintenance measures on the road. Having jumper cables, coolant and engine oil handy can save you time and money.

Map out your trip ahead of time. While just jumping in the car and driving without a set destination can be an enticing idea, the spontaneity will likely result in more expenses. Knowing when and where you’ll stop ahead of time, especially for hotels and outings, will help you stick to a budget.

If you still crave the more adventurous aspects of a road trip, you can make a general plan for your major excursions and routes, while stopping for unexpected attractions and views as you go.

Comparison shop to keep hotel prices under control. Booking ahead of time and using comparison shopping websites will save you from driving around to find the best hotel deal when you’re already tired from a long drive. If you do have to

When It Comes To Disclosures, How Much Do You Really Have To Tell?

By Jaymi Naciri You call her Gladys. For the six years you lived in your charming little 1909 Craftsman home on your charming little 1909 street, she appeared in hallways.

Open and shut doors.

Moved things from one place to another. She was your friendly family ghost, and now you're moving.

Can she be your little secret, especially since, while she freaked people out from time to time, for sure, you never felt unsafe?

The answer is: Maybe.

It depends on if it's considered a "stigmatizing factor." Beyond the obvious things you would disclose about a home, like any known defects, repairs, and renovations, there are other important factors that need to be disclosed per the National Association of Realtors.

Death in the house Did someone die in the house while you were living there, or are you aware of a death in the house prior to your moving in? Whether or not you have to disclose this information will depend the state in which you live (different states, different laws) and the "type" of death we're talking about.

Your financial situation No, you don't need to include your bank balance and retirement accounts in your disclosures. But if someone has placed a lien on the property or if you're involved in bankruptcy proceedings, that information would be necessary.

Bad neighbors A neighborhood kid who rides his bike past your house a couple times a

day is no big deal (even if it drives you, and your dogs, crazy). One that is stalking your teenage daughter or playing loud music deep into the night, or a neighbor who is harassing you and/or has become outright dangerous, is another story.

Repairs Reputable Realtors will generally recommend you disclose any repairs that were done to the home, beyond what may or may not be required on your disclosure sheet. "Be aware that buyers may be able to find out about the repair whether or not you tell them," said Realtor.com. "A home inspector may find evidence of the repair work, but another possibility is that the buyers may request that you provide a CLUE Home Seller's Disclosure report, which reveals all insurance claims on your property. If insurance helped pay for your leak and tub replacement, then that claim will stay on your report for up to seven years."

What is Medicare Part D

Most seniors are either already on, or will be on, prescription drugs. It’s just a part of getting older today. Fortunately, these medications help us to manage our medical conditions, prevent others and maintain general health.

So once we go on Medicare, we absolutely must understand Part D and how it works.

What Is Part D? Medicare Part D is the prescription drug coverage portion of Medicare. This part of Medicare is completely optional; however, in order to have any coverage for prescription drugs, you will want to sign up for a Part D plan.

Also, if you do not sign up for a plan when you are first eligible and then later sign up for one, you are subject to the Medicare Part D late enrollment penalty.

Although Medicare itself oversees the Part D program and approves the plans annually, the plans are sold through private insurance companies. Most states have about 20-30 plans available, and the plans are renewed annually. In other words, the plans change each year in most cases, which is why it is important to compare Part D plans annually.

Part D is often referred to as the most confusing part of Medicare. This is primarily because there are so many variables involved, from premium, to co-pays/coinsurance, formulary, pharmacy choice, etc. There is a lot to con-

sider when comparing the plans or considering Part D coverage.

How Does Part D Work?

As mentioned above, Part D is sold through private insurance companies.

So, when you sign up for a plan, you are covered by a specific insurance company’s plan. Most companies offer 2-3 coverage levels to choose from.

Each Part D plan has a different premium, different list of covered medications (formulary) and a different cost-sharing structure. If you have a lower premium plan, for example, you may have a larger cost-sharing portion for certain medications.

Higher premium plans may give you a lower copay portion.

Overall, though, each plan varies considerably and must be considered based on your specific situation.

How to Compare Part D Plans It is highly advisable to compare Part D plans based on your specific

needs and situation – what medications you take and which pharmacy you use specifically. Each plan varies considerably and this comparison can save you hundreds, in some cases thousands, of dollars a year.

Comparing Part D plans is a completely overwhelming task if you try to do it by contacting each individual company/plan.

The more advisable way to do it is to compare using the tool on Medicare.gov, Medicare’s website.

On their plan finder tool, you can enter your zip code, your medication names and dosages and your preferred pharmacy to come up with a ranking of which plan would give you the lowest overall annual cost for the following year. It is a good idea to do this annually, or at the least, every two years. This ensures that you are in the most advantageous plan for your specific situation and allows you to compare in an unbiased way.

Five Best Types Of Exercise For Asthma

By Ruthie Hawkins Love a good sweat? If you’re one of the about 20 million Americans with asthma, this may not be a problem. But, for some vigorous activity like running or playing team sports such as basketball, can cause the airways to become inflamed, narrow and swell, and produce extra mucus, which makes it difficult to breathe.

Fortunately for sufferers, having asthma, even exercise-induced asthma, doesn’t have to keep you from training dirty. According to research, the trick is to control symptoms with meds (prescribed, of course) in addition to selecting activity that focuses on a leisurely pace as well as simple breathing techniques.

While treatments have varied over-the-years, everything from herbal remedies to relocation to dryer climates, here’s the latest in what’s good in exercise for asthma sufferers.

Biking We’re not talking mountain biking. Rapid in-and-out breathing linked to cycling up steep hills or around bends can dry out airways, potentially exacerbating your asthma. However, one study found that even though cyclists and mountain bikers were more likely to have asthma than other Summer Olympians, they were still able to compete – when maintaining a leisurely pace.

Pay close attention to the weather as extreme temperatures as well as pollen levels can prove dangerous for sufferers. The good news? Most gyms are equipped with stationary bikes; or even offer cycling clinics also, decent options, to work in a good sweat.

Swimming This medium level intensity sport will keep you cool and allows you to set your own pace. Your heart will also get a great workout. That’s because it’s

gentle on your joints and muscles. Experts advise doing two-and-a-half hours of swimming a week to meet cardio requirements.

Walking Per a recent study, researchers found that adults who took a brisk walk three times a week — half an hour at a time with five minutes of warm up and five minutes of cool-down — for 12 weeks improved asthma control and fitness levels without triggering an attack of the common repertory disease.

Weight training Not only is weight training a great way to build strength, improve muscle tone, and shed unsightly pounds. But it’s also a simple way to implement exercise into your daily routine.

Experts suggest beginning with 3 to 5 pound dumbbells to work the upper body and lower-body – focusing on exercises like squats, pushups and lunges.

Is Your House Alzheimer’s Proofed? Entrepreneurs Embrace In-House Fitness

After discovering that your loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, you may have a series of questions about adjusting to day-to-day life. Are they safe? Does my loved one understand what’s going on? How do I communicate with them? All are valid and pressing questions that our knowledgeable team can address. When it comes to at-home safety, there are specific precautions and needed changes to make your environment safe. We’ve gathered some essential safety tips from Jamie Webb and Kim Wentink, in-home care experts at Silverado.

Register a Bracelet The MedicAlert + Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return program is available for individuals with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia who may wander off, in which case the registered bracelet will have personalized information like emergency contacts and health history. You can register an individual online through the Alzheimer’s Association. This is a 24-hour emergency response service, and annual renewal is $35.

Install Motion Detectors Some motion detectors today have video capabilities, and some even have responsive automated voices that can talk back. Wentink suggests installing devices around the house, which helps to have another set of eyes to watch your loved one from wherever you are.

Remove Rugs Webb suggests removing all rugs from the household, as they are the number one cause of falls in the home.

Take No Solicitors Consider posting a “No Solicitors” sign at the front

door to avoid any unexpected visitors. Also, have other family members pick up the phone, because a person with Alzheimer’s disease can often be the victim of telephone exploitation. Keep the phone ringer volume kept on low and make everyone in the household aware that the phone should be answered in as few rings as possible.

Set Up Locks Keep hazardous materials locked up and away from reach. Such harmful materials that can be misused include medications, cigarettes, weapons, plastic bags, remote controls, kitchen or power tools, cleaning products, small appliances, or anything valuable. Consider removing locks from the bathroom in case your loved one locks themselves inside.

Password lock electronics and internet access. Wentink says not to keep doors locked to prevent anyone going in and out since this is a dangerous fire hazard. Instead, she says to stick to video monitors and door alarms.

Emergency Contacts Display emergency numbers in every room and next to all telephones.

Lighting Be sure lighting around

the house is adequate, including entryways, corners, hallways, bathrooms, stairs, and outside landscaping.

Lights with sensors may also be useful.

Have A Spare Hide a spare house key outside of the house in case a person with Alzheimer’s disease locks someone out of the house.

Electronics Prevent fire hazards by keeping electronics on sturdy surfaces, covering unused electrical outlets, and clearing any extension cords, which also minimizes the likelihood of trips and falls. Consider turning off the garbage disposal.

Water Set your water heater to less than 120 degrees to prevent burns from scalding water.

Prevent Slips Install handles and grab bars around the house as safety grips. The handrail for stairways should extend beyond the first and last steps. Webb even suggests a home stairlift. Other helpful safety additions can be bath benches, shower hoses and toilet raisers. To prevent slips, use nonskid adhesives in the tub, toilets, and sinks.

(NewsUSA) - The popularity of health and fitness services is driving many entrepreneurs to start homebased businesses.

For those innovative individuals, Fitbomb, a patented fitness tool, may be the perfect fit.

This "fitness sauna"allows individuals to provide an entire gym's worth of in-house fitness services easily.

David Shurtleff, a disabled veteran, created FitBomb as an option for those looking to improve athletic performance, enhance their health, or simply reduce the effects of aging.

"It's like having your own fitness center without the overhead," says Mr. Shurtleff.

"The FitBomb has everything you need to start a business, providing live video instruction for ... martial arts, dance, barre, [and] hot yoga," he says.

Other benefits include healthy detox and heated massage.

Combining sauna and fitness works by incorporating infrared heat to warm the muscles, thus helping users perform high-intensity resistance exercises with reduced risk of injury.

"Like most gym owners, you don't even have to be a personal trainer yourself," says Mr. Shurleff. "Just turn on the Wi-Fi and your choice of training videos instantly appears," he explains.

As a testament to the potential to enhance your bottom line is Cheryl Murray, a fitness instructor and mother of two who set up a studio in her basement.

Within months, she is making $15,000 a month for a combination of fitness train-

Forest Whitaker Joins ‘Empire’ Common Surprises Harlem School

Forest Whitaker

NEW YORK — The Fox network says Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker will guest-star in a multi-episode

arc on “Empire” this fall.

Whitaker will play “Uncle Eddie,” a charismatic music mogul who long ago gave an unknown Lucious Lyon (series star Terrence Howard) his first radio airplay. Now, decades later, Eddie steps up for Lucious at a critical moment during his rehabilitation. A grateful Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) invites Eddie to produce a song in celebration of Empire Entertainment’s 20th anniversary.

Whitaker’s film credits include last year’s “Arrival,” ”Lee Daniels’ The Butler” and “The Last King of Scotland,” for which he won the Oscar for best actor as well as a Golden Globe award.

“Empire” returns for its new season Sept. 27.

The Cartel 7 is the latest gripping novel by literary couple Ashley and JaQuavis

With the release of The Cartel 6, Booklist raves, “The story’s turns and surprises, paired with its unflinching studies of emotional pain and physical pleasure make this an excellent, exciting read for newcomers, longtime Cartel followers, and all urban-lit fans.” The Cartel 7: Illuminati Roundtable of Bosses is the latest gripping novel in their bestselling Cartel series about the Diamond crime family.

Having worked up from hand-selling books on the streets to their first book deal as freshmen in college with Cash Money, this exceptionally talented couple has been driven for success from a very young age. Essence magazine raved that “the duo has built a mini empire on jaw-dropping stories of sex,

violence and blood money.”

But for Ashley and JaQuavis, it’s also about phenomenal writing and intricate story telling--stories tailored to create an addiction to high quality books. Their saga of love, loyalty, and crime continues in the next explosive book in the Cartel series.

After the tragic and bloody end to The Cartel’s reign, Carter is forced into isolation to evade the law.

With his wife, Miamor, facing federal charges and his dear brother dead, Carter has never been more alone.

His empire is at his feet and he has no idea how to rebuild his kingdom. The only thing that is certain is that he has to stay out the way and off the radar of the Feds until he can figure out how to get his lady out of prison.

Miamor’s freedom is guaranteed--if Carter helps create and distribute a drug that will take the streets by storm. Rubbing elbows with the most notorious, ruthless leaders of the underworld will get him what he wants.

But can he win at their game of murder and money?

With A Visit And A Check

Common

By Mesfin Fekadu NEW YORK — Oscar and Grammy winner Common surprised a group of New York students by donating $10,000 to help their teachers buy supplies like calculators and science kits.

The rapper-actor partnered with the nonprofit AdoptAClassroom.org and Burlington Stores to give Renaissance School of the Arts in Harlem the funds.

Students cheered loudly after they learned the musician was at their school.

“I always felt like one of my biggest duties and purposes is to hit the youth with something that’s inspiring, hit young people with something that can motivate them to be in their greatness,” Common, 45, said in an interview with The Associated Press after the event.

Common encouraged the students to keep their grades up and to persevere — in school and in life. He spoke

about pushing through when setbacks occur, telling the students about not getting some acting roles he wanted and competing with other musicians to create a song for the film “Selma.” His song from the movie about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. — “Glory” with John Legend — went on to win the Academy Award for best original song in 2015.

Common, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr., said he started writing poetry and songs at age 12.

“I was always into writing but I didn’t know how good I was until my mother told me that and one of my ex-girlfriends in high school, she was like, ‘You always used to write good love letters,'” he said, smiling.

Two students showcased their talents by performing original poems they wrote.

Jadon-Li M. Antoine, an aspiring musician, actor and dancer, said Common’s visit

motivates him to keep aiming for his dreams.

“It gave me a little bit more hope. It gave me that extra push,” the 14-year-old said.

Common was on-site with his mother, Dr. Mahalia Hines, an educator and member of the Chicago Board of Education. She said she remembered spending her own money to buy essential materials for her classroom.

“A lot of the materials you needed to teach, we weren’t given the money to do it so you just went out and bought your own. If you had to have notebooks … you bought them because there were many lessons you definitely would have not been able to do without them,” she said.

Burlington has been raising money from its 599 stores to help other schools, asking customers to donate $1 or more. It began on July 9 and goes through Aug. 19.

Girls Trip leaves its own unique lasting imprint Mara Brock Akil And Salim Akil Get New Show On OWN

Queen Latifah, Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddish in Girls Trip. (Universal Pictures)

By Dwight Brown (NNPA Newswire Film Critic) This hilarious and relentlessly bawdy take on a girls’ weekend reunion in New Orleans is following in the footsteps of some very popular female-appeal movies like “Sex In the City” and “Bridesmaids.”

But “Girls Trip” is not a copycat. It’s very unique and will leave its own lasting imprint on the goodgirls-gone-wild genre.

Ten minutes into this comedy, you’re asking yourself, “Who the hell wrote this?”

The story is contemporary, the dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny, the characters are distinct and their life dramas, rivalries and relationship problems are thoroughly engaging for 122 minutes.

Blame the naughty hu-

mor on Kenya Barris (TV’s “Black-ish”) and Tracy Oliver (“Barbershop”). They completely understand the lurid minds of ladies who’ve had one-too-many cocktails and speak their mind. For audience members who do not have potty mouths, but wish they did, this crew says every wicked thing you ever thought, but never had the nerve to say.

Ryan Pierce (Regina Hall, “When the Bough Breaks”) is a successful and envied author, somewhat like an Oprah without a TV show.

She’s married to ex-NFL player Stewart (Mike Colter, “Luke Cage”). On the surface, they have an ideal marriage and are on the verge of getting their own talk show.

Behind closed doors, they’ve got problems. However, they

must protect their brand and are determined to keep up their facade.

Ryan talks her old college girlfriends, who used to call themselves the “Flossy Posse,” into a reunion in New Orleans at the annual Essence Music Festival. There’s Dina (Tiffany Haddish, “The Carmichael Show”), the brassy one who talks like a drunk hooker, “We gonna get some d—k this weekend.” Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith), a nurse with two kids, is the prudish one: “Dina! I need you to use your lady mouth.” Sasha (Queen Latifah) is a gossip columnist, who is having trouble paying her bills.

The foursome gathers at the airport, checks into a lavish hotel and in short order they are kicked out

thanks to Dina’s outlandish behavior. Apparently the finer establishments don’t take kindly to women who threaten patrons with broken champagne bottles.

The group moves to a fleabag motel that’s frequented by $5 prostitutes.

That’s the set up, and director Malcolm Lee (“The Best Man”), who has become the populist voice for the Black middle-class, works his magic. Scenes melt into each other with a quick rhythm, and each has its own dynamic, builds to a crescendo and leaves plenty of room for the cast to engage in comical banter. He gives the actresses room to play their characters to the max. Bedroom scenes, dance-offs, bar fights, Beale Street parades, testy confrontations, shocking revelations and raunchy repartee are orchestrated with precision. You barely have time to breathe between the outrageous scenes (editor Paul Millspaugh, “The Best Man Holiday”).

The cast works well together as an ensemble. Pinkett Smith finds the humor in her dour character, who is in desperate need of a wild night out. When she hooks up with a lanky 21-year-old (Kofi Siriboe, “Queen Sugar”), she gets her mojo back. Hall, as the lead character, has the right mix of shocking indignation and resignation. Latifah adds texture to the financially challenged Sasha.

Commentary Police Brutality Crossed The Lines Of Race With Minn. Shooting America’s jails and prisons were stocked full with addicts and dealers alike.

This weekend in Minneapolis, I believe police brutality jumped the racial fence when a beloved blonde haired white woman, Justine Damond, a yoga and meditation instructor from Australia, who was just a few weeks away from getting married, was shot and killed by a Minneapolis Police Officer right outside of her home. From all indications, Damond called the police herself when she believed she heard some type of disturbance in the alley behind her home. At almost midnight on Saturday, when she met the officers outside in her pajamas, an officer inside of the car shot and killed Justine almost instantly. No weapon was found on the scene. The cops shot and killed an unarmed white yoga instructor in her pajamas who called them for help. It’s ludicrous.

Police have so far refused to give any details whatsoever on why officers felt the need to shoot this woman. But local activists and leaders weren’t so worried about the initial statement from the department because every single officer in Minneapolis now wears a body camera – a reform that was hard fought from the community. Except,

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.)

just like we’ve seen in case after case of police brutality against African-Americans in this country, both officers claim that their cameras weren’t turned on at the time of the shooting. They also claim that the camera in their squad car failed to capture anything.

In other words, the only witness besides the cops to the shooting is dead, no known footage of it exists, and all we will have left to go by is the word of the cops who did the shooting. Of course they won’t incriminate themselves. Of course they will corroborate each other’s stories and speak of how the yoga instructor caused them to fear for their lives. Except this time, police will not be able to lean on racist stereotypes and tropes to carry them through a wave of public backlash. Not only that, but their shooting death of Justine Damond is already dominating news headlines all over Australia.

Here’s the thing – I think Eric Garner, who was choked to death by the NYPD three years ago yesterday, is the perfect face of POLICE, See page 11B

Nearly a decade ago, Clinton Crawley, a Baltimore resident and one of my constituents, was diagnosed with diabetes. Clinton has done everything his doctors asked—he eats well, he exercises and he takes his medication. Although Clinton has employer-sponsored health insurance, the cost of his medication—more than $1,000 each year—places a significant burden on his finances.

Mr. Crawley is not alone.

Over the past decade, 90 percent of brand name drugs have more than doubled in price. In 2014, U.S. prescription drug prices jumped 13 percent. That year, Americans spent $1,112 per person on medication while Canadians spent $772 and Danes spent $325, and nearly 1 in 5 Americans have reported not being able to afford the medication they were prescribed. Simply put, the pharmaceutical industry’s greed is hurting the American people.

The issue of high prescription drug prices has a severe impact on the African American community.

As the saying goes, “when America catches a cold, Black America gets the flu.”

African Americans suffer from chronic diseases at higher rates than other groups. African Americans are 40 percent more likely

than Caucasians to have high blood pressure, and the rate of diagnosed diabetes is 77 percent higher in our community. In 2014, African Americans were nearly three times more likely to die from asthma-related causes than Caucasians.

African Americans at every education level are also paid less than their white counterparts. These factors place African Americans in a double bind—we are more likely to suffer from an expensive chronic disease and we earn less money with which to pay for our health care, including skyrocketing prescription drug prices.

Mr. Crawley’s experience, and those of millions of Americans nationwide, is unacceptable at a time when the 10 highest paid pharmaceutical industry CEOs took home $327 million in a single year.

President Trump was right when he said that these companies are “getting away with murder.”

That is why Congressman Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and I put our differences with President Trump aside and met with him to discuss how we can work together to lower prescription drug prices. During that meeting, Rep. Welch and I presented President Trump with “The Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Act,” a bill that

Over the past three hundred years, when foreigners contemplated immigrating to the United States, foremost in their minds was that they wanted to become Americans; sure they wanted better lives; they wanted to attend our universities; some fled oppression in their own countries, but becoming an American was the prime motivating factor in their decision to come to the United States.

It was a given that being an American would offer them the opportunity for a better life, better educational opportunities, and an environment with minimum, if any oppression.

Italians, Germans, and the Irish came through Ellis Island in New York City and settled there in their own little enclaves; many speaking little to no English.

They all spoke in their native languages at home and in their neighborhood, but they understood that in order to take advantage of all that America had to offer, they had to learn English.

In those days, part of being an American was learning the new language. They didn’t forget their language or their culture from back home; but they fully understood that being an American citizen meant adopting the American culture, which includes the language.

Today, you have foreigners becoming American citizens, who don’t have the ability or the desire to learn English. They have absolutely no interest in adapting to American culture.

They are not pursuing the American Dream; they seem only to want the government benefits of citizenship.

Citizenship is like marrying a woman. The woman leaves her family, takes the name of her husband, and moves into his house to build a new life together.

The woman doesn’t forget where she came from, nor her family name, nor her brothers and sisters, but her new life with her husband now becomes her priority and her commitment.

Now, just imagine if the woman marries, but doesn’t take her husband’s name and doesn’t live with her husband, but rather decides to continue to live with her parents.

One could argue that she is merely married in name only.

Likewise, we are allowing immigrants to become citizens who refuse to accept our culture; they refuse to build a new life, based on American values.

When I am in France, I must speak French. When I am in the Dominican Republic, I must speak Spanish. To expect these countries to put everything in

Shaun King

An astounding 661 people have been killed by American police so far in 2017. This year is on pace to be the deadliest year ever for people killed by American police. No other developed nation in the world has 10% of that number. We are experiencing a full blown crisis of police brutality in this country, but it’s hardly getting any coverage as Donald Trump absolutely sucks the wind out of the news cycle every single day.

A few weeks ago, a buddy of mine told me “Shaun – I don’t think this country is ever really going to give a damn about police brutality until they see it destroying the lives of white families.”

I think he’s right. That’s the American way. It’s what we’re basically seeing with the opioid crisis in our country right now. As our nation seems to be coming to grips with the alarming crisis of drug addiction affecting and destroying families from coast to coast, we’re beginning to see emergency solutions bust right on through the war on drugs. The level of humanity and compassion being shown to those affected by the opioid crisis is right.

I support it. But that same humanity and compassion was absolutely missing during the crack epidemic of the 80s and 90s. Instead,

would lower prescription drug prices by allowing Medicare—the largest purchaser of prescription drugs in America—to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. We asked for the president’s support and feedback on our bill. Four months later, despite the president’s enthusiasm during our meeting, we are still waiting to hear from him.

Instead of working with me and Rep. Welch, there are now reports that President Trump is poised to issue an executive order that would grant many wishes directly from the pharmaceutical industry’s wish list. This executive order would be a betrayal of the president’s promise to the American people.

There is something wrong with this picture, and the American people know it. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents want Congress and President Trump to make lowering the cost of prescription drugs a “top priority,” and 92 percent of all Americans want Medicare SILENCE, See page 11B

English to accommodate Americans, who don’t speak their language, would be the height of arrogance and very impractical.

In 1975, liberal Democrats amended the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to “mandate” that all voting ballots be printed in multiple languages to accommodate citizens who don’t speak English.

The language provision is part of section 203 of the Voting Rights Act and was meant “specifically” for Blacks who were in the South who couldn’t read or write, because many Blacks, historically, were denied access to an education.

This had nothing, let me repeat, nothing to do with people who refused to learn English.

But, as liberals are good at doing, they began to expand the definition of section 203. This mandate codified into law that the government “must” make accommodations for any citizens that don’t speak English.

Therein lies the problem. How can you be a citizen of these United States and not speak English?

This foolishness cannot be allowed to continue.

People are starting to get excited about Congress planning on a new tax structure. Included in this project is the possibility of ending the Estate Tax. This tax has been a legacy killer to many Black families. When a patriarch/matriarch passes away the IRS will determine how much of an estate they are leaving to the rest of their family. If it reaches a certain amount the Estate Tax will kick in and deprive the heirs of significant inheritance.

This can be averted with very expensive legal maneuvers ahead of the death.

Publicly held Corporation owners (shareholders) are exempt of this onerous tax also. It is the middle class that is starting to build significant wealth that will be knocked to the “ground” by our government.

Newspaper publishers, farmers/ranchers, car dealers and various other types of business owners will be the ones who get hit the hardest. This year is a great opportunity for us to get ourselves organized and educate our elected officials to end this expensive predicament. Let us come together and deliver a final blow to this law that is intended to prevent up and coming business persons from building wealth for their children and grandchildren to last for centuries.

This reminds me of another opportunity we, as a people, had. It was the Homestead Grant Act of 1862. At the time America was expanding vastly via the Louisiana Purchase, Manifest Destiny (land grabbing from Spain, Mexico, and Native Americans).

Through a simple application process American citizens and freed slaves could receive a land grant of 160 acres. All they had to do was work the land for at least five years. Unbeknownst to many of us our forefathers participated in this process.

Many of us looked at the land handed down to us by our grandparents, great grandparents etc. We think it is nice but wait it is more than that. For many of us, the land we have inherited could be miniscule compared to the land our families originally had.

I first learned about this from some Blacks I was helping in Southern Louisiana. They were upset that their land was taken away while they were growing up. One of them showed me a copy of the original land grant award. It was for 160 acres to their grandfather and signed by President Grover Cleveland. They never did a “family secession” which would have cut up the ownership of the inheritors by individual names and specific

property assignments (equal parts). They had a first cousin in prison for a long sentence.

He was approach by a white developer who told him that he had undivided ownership within these 160 acres. He offered to buy it from the inmate. The prisoner sold it for a modest amount and now the developer became an owner with the rest of the family.

He goes to court and files for a “forced secession” on that property.

There would be an auction on the undivided property which would include all the owners. On auction day, the developer would step in and bid on the entire estate.

His money over powered the rest of the family. They each received a modest portion of the sale price and he would walk off with the entire land grant. This scenario was repeated in all the applicable states.

I went online and searched some of my late relatives (the ones who had property).

I entered my grandfather’s name, Thomas Alford, and my grandfather’s name, Cicero Alford. To my shock WEALTH, See page 11B

ARRADONDO From page 1A resign after Justine Damond was killed by Minneapolis Police Officer Mohammad Noor.

Teresa Nelson, interim executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota, issued the following statement: “Minneapolis’ new interim police chief, Medaria (Rondo) Arradondo, is taking over as chief at a critical time. The department has long struggled with overuse of force, exemplified by the recent shootings of Justine Damond and Jamar Clark, and racial disparities in stops, arrests, and other police work that have caused tensions between communities of color and the police. It is crucial that Arrandondo take swift and immediate action within the Minneapolis Police Department to make the large-scale changes needed to build a department that is just, responsive, and truly values the lives it is sworn to serve and protect.

Although during Chief Harteau’s tenure important steps were taken to push the department in a better direction, there is still much work that needs to be done.

Immediate action should be taken to: • Increase oversight and accountability for officers who violate the department’s use of force policies. Support reforms to ensure the Police Conduct Oversight Commission has the authority to discipline and fire officers as needed.

• Retrain the entire department on use of force.

• Increase training on de-escalation.

• Implement a new body camera policy that mandates activation at the beginning of every interaction with members of the public.

• Include clear, significant discipline for officers who violate the body camera policy.

• Stop prioritizing low-level arrests.

• Increase the department’s accountability by releasing all data on stops and arrests to the public.

• Fully implement the recommendations found in the Police Executive Research Forum’s 30 guiding principles on the use of force and the final report of President Obama’s task force on 21st century policing.

The campaign is broad-based, and will be rolled-out in coordination with California community college campuses, employers and businesses.

Although California is experiencing impressive economic growth, there is a widening gap between what employers need to continue that growth and what the state’s labor pool currently offers.

The California Community Colleges launched this campaign because Career Education programs and apprenticeships provide important pathways for adults to boost their skills as well as for high schoolers to learn new skills for rewarding careers, yet are historically underrecognized in the U.S. “Both adults and high school students hesitate to pursue higher education to gain new skills and refresh existing ones because they worry about student debt,” said Van Ton-Quinlivan, Vice Chancellor of Workforce and Economic Development Division for California Community Colleges.

“Career education offers a great pathway to increase earnings and make a living wage without that type of debt burden.”

The California Community Colleges offer more than 200 Career Education programs in fields such as advanced manufacturing, informa-

tion and communication technologies, digital media, health, global trade and logistics, life sciences/biotech, agriculture, water and environment technologies and many more.

The median salary of a worker with an associate degree in a vocational career is $66,600 five years after completion (as compared to $38,500 for those with non-vocational associate degrees). According to the California Community Colleges Salary Surfer website (cccco. salarysurfer.edu), graduates with an Aeronautical and Aviation Technology degree could earn an annual salary of $76,187 five years after graduation; Biotechnology and Biomedical Technology graduates could earn $59,603, and a Water and Wastewater Technology degree could earn $77,973.

With 114 campuses across the state serving 2.1 million students per year, the California Community Colleges is the largest provider of workforce training in the nation. These programs have been developed in partnership with local industries and classes are taught by instructors with direct work experience in those fields.

“Career Education is one of those hidden gems of our public education system here in California that needs greater awareness,” said Assemblywoman Sharon QuirkSilva, Chair of the Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy Committee. “We’re here today to encourage Californians to look at the amazing and affordable job training programs offered by their local community colleges. Our economy is constantly changing and evolving, and Career Education programs help Californians of all ages learn new, needed skills to enter today’s and tomorrow’s exciting career fields.”

Financial aid is also available for Career Education programs. Financial aid options include grants, scholarships, fee waivers, work study programs and more.

The promotional campaign is an output of the Strong Workforce Program, a $200 million recurring investment made by Governor Jerry Brown and the California legislature to create one million more middleskilled workers, thereby producing a job-ready workforce for employers and enabling social mobility for more Californians.

VCCCD From page 1A courses offered by Ventura College at SPHS, beginning with the Fall 2017 term. The classes will be delivered on the SPHS campus during normal high school hours. As part of the agreement, students may simultaneously earn high school and college credits for courses taken. The agreement is exclusive to Ventura College and SPHS, therefore, enrollment is restricted to SPHS students.

The estimated student enrollment per year is 100. Students may take up to 15 units per term and will be exempt from tuition and fees.

“We value our partnership with the Santa Paula Unified School District and thank its superintendent and board members for supporting and approving this agreement,” stated VCCCD Chancellor Greg Gillespie.

“This is a positive step towards increasing access to quality higher education and preparing more high school students to attend college,” said Gillespie. “This collaboration helps high school students achieve college readiness and aligns with our mutual goal to improve high school graduation rates and build a collegegoing culture,” added VCCCD Board Chair Bernardo Perez.

“We are excited about working with the administrators at Santa Paula High School to successfully carry out the terms of the agreement,” stated VCCCD Vice Chancellor Educational Services Rick Post. “This is the first AB 288 CCAP partnership agreement that the Ventura County Community College District has established with a local school district since the bill passed in 2016.”

“Our Board is looking forward to this collaboration with the college and the exciting possibilities for our students in Santa Paula,” said Santa Paula Unified School District Governing Board President Kelsey Stewart.

“As the Superintendent of the Santa Paula Unified School District, it is a great honor to be the first school district to approve a College and Career Access Pathways Partnership (CCAP) agreement,” said Alfonso Gamino, Superintendent of the Santa Paula Unified School District. “Our District is proactive in providing support to our academic struggling students. It is our expectation that this partnership will increase our already high graduation rate as well as increase the number of students attending college. Our students will reap the benefits because it is our intent that this program will allow for more students to earn college credit, to enroll in college, and most importantly, to complete a college degree,” Gamino added.

PUBLISHERS From page 1A and media companies.

Norton said that the federal government serves as the largest advertiser in the country, and it’s important that news outlets and media companies owned or published by individuals of color with a primary mission to serve communities of color have the same opportunities as other media outlets, especially as AfricanAmericans and Hispanic Americans continue to grow in number in the United States.

“We believe that this request is particularly timely, because GAO will be conducting an audit of spending by federal agencies on public relations and advertising,” Norton said.

One month after publicly making the request, Norton circulated a letter to members of Congress to support her call to GAO to issue a new report.

In 2007, the GAO, which acts as the authoritative audit unit for the federal government, probed the spending on advertising contracts with minority-owned businesses by five agencies—the Department of Defense, Department of the Treasury, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Interior, and the NationalAeronautics and Space Administration.

The agency found that just five percent of the $4.3 billion available for advertising campaigns went to minority-owned businesses. Thirtyone of Norton’s colleagues in Congress signed the letter, including CBC Chair Cedric Richmond (D-La.) and legendary congressmen John Lewis (D-Ga.), Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), and former CBC Chair G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.).

Seven months later in November, a group of Senators, including Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) also signed a letter and joined the call for accountability in the federal government’s advertising practices – or lack thereof when it comes to minority-owned news outlets.

Several aides to the lawmakers did note that journalists, who work for Black- and Hispanic-owned media outlets must do a better job of keeping the issue on the pages of their newspapers.

Dorothy Leavell, the new chairwoman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) has vowed to do just that and she said she’s grateful to Norton.

“We are extremely appreciative of Congresswoman Norton for taking the initiative on this,” said Leavell, who is also the publisher of the Crusader Newspaper Group.

Leavell added that the wait for the GAO report has been long enough.

“Anymore delay will not be tolerated.”

Leavell also said that it was unacceptable that federal agencies have largely excluded Black-owned media companies from delivering messages from the U.S. government to the Black community.

“I urge the officials at GAO to start today in their investigation and conclude it immediately,” said Leavell.

However, Young said it typically takes months before a request to the GAO is acted upon.

Also, the change in administration had nothing to do with the length of time this process has taken since Norton’s call about 15 months ago, he said.

“The change in administration does not have an impact, just the various other GAO reviews already underway,” Young said, noting that the GAO did not receive a formal request until February.

Headquartered in D.C. and with offices in several cities including Atlanta and Los Angeles, the GAO was founded in 1921. In a Fiscal Year 2016 report, the agency noted that it had provided nearly 2,100 recommendations to improve government operations.

Approximately 73 percent of the recommendations GAO made four years earlier in Fiscal Year 2012, have already been implemented, thus making any suggestion on advertising with minority-owned media an important step in the quest for Black and Hispanic-owned papers to receive advertising dollars.

“The NNPA anticipates that the new GAO report will once again substantiate what we already know and that is Black American-owned newspapers and media companies are not afforded equality and equity for annual federal advertising spending,” said NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. “This is a serious problem that urgently needs to be rectified by the government of the United States.”

Karen Carter Richards, the publisher of the Houston Forward Times and NNPA First Vice Chair said that the federal government is the largest

advertiser in the country.

“The lack of advertising by federal agencies as it relates to AfricanAmerican and other minority media companies must be addressed,” said Carter Richards. “We remain optimistic that the findings in this GAO report will lead to the necessary changes we need to ensure communities of color have the same opportunities as other media outlets.”

Bernal Smith, the publisher of the New Tri-State Defender in Memphis and second vice chair of the NNPA, said the U.S. government stands as one of the biggest marketing and advertising entities in the world in terms of dollars spent.

He cited a 2012 report that revealed government ad spending had reached $16 billion.

“That was five years ago and that number is not likely to have gone down,” said Smith. “Being a publisher, and knowing what others are getting, clearly the Black Press has not been a part of those ad buys and, by and large, we’ve been on the outside looking in.”

SCHOOL From page 2A with them if you expect to get out of the situation. My advice would be when you’re at that moment of vulnerability, don’t get too caught up with how you got there. Our mind is very powerful. If you ask it a question, it will always give you an answer even if the answer works against you. If you say why am I so stupid? Or why am I so fat? Why am I so slow? Your mind will give you 100 answers why. If you asked why am I in this situation? Your mind will give you 100 answers why and none of them will serve you any good while you’re in the storm.

Ask the right questions. Questions like what role must I take to get out of this situation in the shortest time possible? Or what options do I have to help me get out of this situation? Or what’s the wisest decision I can make that will help me get out of this situation rapidly? When you ask these questions, your mind is programmed to give you the answer.

Your life will unfold oftentimes based on your ability to ask yourself the right questions especially during your most challenging times.

It’s a good idea to check in with someone who doesn’t live in the neighborhood. They may know things you don’t know.

Remember you created the neighborhood. You may have created it intentionally. It may have been created by default. You moved in. You can move out. You decided what to bring along and what to leave behind. You can tear things down and you can build new things.

The neighborhood is created by your thoughts and the pattern of your thoughts. When you repeat thoughts to yourself, over and over again, something happens. Whether these thoughts are true or not, you accept them as your truth. These thoughts become your beliefs. You act on your beliefs. When you choose to focus on the good thoughts… when you follow the wise advice of Mr. Rogers, “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.”

When you were born, you did not come with an instruction manual. You were not given a map to show you how to get around the bad neighborhoods. You made your way the best way you knew how. If you’re feeling the neighborhood in your head needs some redevelopment, perhaps you need someone to walk along with you…until you can make it a safer place to be. I’ll hold your hand.

TRUMP From page 2A won office as a result. However, there is much pushback to “Repeal and Replace” among beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act primarily white voters. A report by the Department of Health and Human Services on the effects of the Affordable Care Act shows that the benefits of Obamacare cut across all major demographic groups. More white Americans received coverage since October 2013 when the law’s coverage provisions began to come into effect than black and Latino Americans combined. “Obamacare” was not a “Black” thing.

Hillary Clinton The president took a swipe at Jeff Sessions calling his attorney general “our beleaguered A.G.” and asking why Sessions was not “looking into Crooked Hillary’s crimes & Russia relations?” Trump’s suggestion that his top law enforcement official investigate a former political rival is astounding, and even his allies have said in the past that such a move would be unheard of in the United States. Trump, after the election, had backed away from the idea of possibly prosecuting Hillary Clinton.

Major Media Speaking at the 2017 National Scout Jamboree Trump hit on his favorite theme of “fake news,” complaining that the media would probably downplay the size of the Boy Scouts crowd. The Jamboree attendance was over 40,000. The fake media will say: “President Trump

spoke before a small crowd of Boy Scouts today. Fake media. Fake news.” Trump fantasizes he is at a Trump inspired rally and the “Fake News” would downplay the size of the crowd.

Trump’s Ego He also took the opportunity to relive the glory of his election, asking the child audience, “Do you remember that incredible night with the maps and the Republicans are red and the Democrats are blue, and that map was so red, it was unbelievable, and they didn’t know what to say?”

Voter Fraud Trump created the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in May to investigate his allegations, offered without evidence, that millions of people voted illegally in 2016. Although he won the electoral vote, on election night, Hillary Clinton won the popular by more than 1 million votes. To date that number has grown to over 3 million votes. Trump’s assumption is that every illegal vote cast was for the democratic party or Hillary Clinton. Won’t he be surprised to find he won the election VIA Voter Fraud! A study of 2,068 alleged election-fraud cases in 50 states between 2000 and 2012 found the level of fraud was infinitesimal compared with the 146 million voters registered over the 12year period.

Nuclear War Right now, Donald Trump could start a nuclear war on a whim, and no one could stop him. He has almost gleefully exercised his right to threaten nuclear war. He made boastful remarks about nuclear might throughout his campaign.

And just recently, he called for a new push to put America at the “top of the pack” when it comes to nuclear weapons capability. A global nuclear exchange could annihilate hundreds of millions of lives and sour Earth’s atmosphere, water, and ground for generations.

This president is dangerous and there is no telling what his ego and many obsessions will drive him to do.

BUFFALO From page 3A educational group who portray “Buffalo Soldiers” and “Women of the West.”

On July 28th 1866, Congress passed legislation that added four cavalry units to the United States Army. The new units were designated as the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Cavalries and would consist of all volunteers. With the 9th and 10th Cavalries specifically consisting of African Americans. Following the Civil War, Buffalo Soldiers were members of the United States Army and were either Calvary or Infantry soldiers.

Buffalo Soldier Mounted Calvary Unit is based in Southern California and members travel throughout the United States where they tell the Buffalo Soldier story and their impact on helping settle the Western frontier following the Civil War. Through a living history interpretive presentation, the Buffalo Soldier story comes alive with authentic military uniforms, canvas tents, authentic military wagons and many more accessories. These items are used to recreate a living history environment once lived by the Buffalo Soldiers more than 150 years ago. The listener and student are able to see, touch, and hear what life was like on the frontier. The listener walks away with a greater understanding of who the Buffalo Soldiers were and the contributions made to the United States of America by these patriots.

News from the D.A. VENTURA - District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced that Superior Court Judge Bruce A. Young sentenced Sean Anthony Melford, of Thousand Oaks, to serve 365 days in jail for attempting to extort two women into sending him intimate photographs and for possessing child pornography. In May 2017, Melford pleaded guilty to felony attempted extortion, possession of child District Attorney pornography, and misGregory D. Totten demeanor unauthorized distribution of sexual images. This case was the result of an investigation by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and the Southern California High Tech Task Force.

Melford knew both of his victims. In April 2015, Melford hacked into the first victim’s Snapchat account and obtained intimate photographs. He then posted them on social media sites. Melford posed as someone the victim did not know and demanded that the victim post intimate images on the Kik app. During the fall of 2016 Melford, again posing as someone else, repeatedly threatened the first victim that if she did not send him more intimate photos he would further disseminate her photographs. When she did not comply, he followed through on his threat. When the sheriff’s office executed a search warrant on Melford’s house, investigators discovered that he had been extorting a second victim for intimate photos and accessing child pornography.

Melford was placed on formal probation for five years. In addition to serving 365 days in jail, he is required to attend sex offender counseling, register as a

On July 20, Ventura City Fire was dispatched to a report of a large natural gas leak in the area of Ventura Ave. and Seneca St. The first arriving engine company discovered a large leak in an underground natural gas distribution line caused when a backhoe digging in the area hit the pipeline. The 50 psi distribution pipeline was discharging natural gas into the surrounding area which triggered an evacuation of four staff members from Head Start school. Additional building occupants outside of 100’ radius were sheltered in place.

Fire Crews worked with gas company employees providing firefighting foam that suppressed ignition sources while they worked to repair the damage pipe.

The leak was controlled after three hours. No injuries were reported as a result of this incident.

Santa Barbara, CA— June was a breakthrough month for the ongoing clothing drive spearheaded by The Consciousness Network™—a Santa Barbara-based leader for the promotion of conscious living—as it succeeded in raising enough clothing to help thousands of the Santa Barbara area's homeless.

The drive is an ongoing project at the Network's Consciousness Expo & Symposium events — formerly known as “Conscious Networking Events.” These Santa Barbara events attract like-minded people from Southern California to nurture collaboration for a better world and to serve the community.

Ablitt’s Fine Cleaners of Santa Barbara, one of America’s leading dry cleaners, donated approximately 4,000 articles of unclaimed

clothing. To distribute them, The Consciousness Network™arranged them to be picked up by San Marcos High School’s “Reduce, Reuse and Restore” program, whose students provided the enthusiasm and manpower to get the job done.

The clothing was delivered to various non-profits and shelters, including: The Salvation Army, Transition House, Noah’s Anchorage, and Rescue Mission. Other community donations are scheduled through the summer for delivery by the Consciousness Network™.

Led by The Consciousness Network’s awardwinning founder, Forrest Leichtberg, the drive has grown tremendously since its inception nine months ago. “I am thrilled!” says Leichtberg, “We were able to distribute more clothes HOMELESS, See page 11B

Ventura, CA - An IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) caregiver from Santa Paula challenged the Ventura County Board of Supervisors to walk a day in her shoes today. She was joined by more than three dozen IHSS workers and their consumers, several of which shared their stories during the public comment section of the meeting.

“My question to you would be if any of you would be willing to do the work that we do, like changing a diaper for an adult,” said IHSS caregiver Juana Mendez. “Then maybe you can see that and put yourself in my situation.”

Her challenge to all the supervisors was responded to by District 5 - Supervisor John C. Zaragoza who did not address her question, but simply replied with a “Thank You.”

Negotiations are underway with SEIU 2015’s bargaining team and the County over IHSS worker wages. Back in May, the Board handed members of the union a letter indicating their desire to reduce the compensation of IHSS providers. This happened at a time when caregivers had been busy finding solutions to secure the funding of the IHSS program in the state Capitol. Since then, the Board has expressed their willingness to negotiate and preserve the IHSS program as is. However, simple assurance that the funding to provide services for the disabled and elderly in our region is frankly not enough.

“We make financial sacrifices to work as a home care provider, but we do it for the love we have for our consumers. We just need a living wage,” said IHSS caregiver

Pascuel Correa of Thousand Oaks, who cares for his daughter so his wife can work.

According to the 2017 State of the Region Report from the county, the median wage for a home care worker is $11.13. That’s less than the living wage for one adult in the county, which is $12.93.

The report also states that a family of two adults would at the very least need to each make an hourly wage of $20.88 to cover basic needs.

That number puts IHSS providers almost $10 under the regional cost of living even though the workforce is one of the top 10 high demand jobs in the county. This is unacceptable.

The 4,000 IHSS workers in Ventura County still want to see a supervisor experience a day in their lives.

They will continue to push for the supervisors to take Mendez up on her offer.

students from elementary school to college.

“I realized the value of education at a young age and feel privileged to serve the people of Ventura County,” stated Hernández. “I thank the Pacific Coast Business Times for this honor. The people of this county are very dear to me. This is where I live, grew up and raised my

children,” he added.

“Congratulations to Vice Chair Hernández for this well-deserved honor,” stated VCCCD Chancellor Greg Gillespie. “His commitment to student access and success and support for education in Ventura County is evident in his many years of service,” added Board Chair Bernardo Perez.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0800580814-1.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you

FRIDAY JULY 28, 2017

should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. 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 (800) 758 8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 053305-CA.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to

the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court.

Assessor’s Parcel No.: 677-0-122-065 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. 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 sa le date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www. qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-16-742347CL . 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.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return o f the monies paid to the Trustee.

KISTLER, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY., as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for SKYLINE FINANCIAL CORP as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3591 AMARILLO AVENUE, SIMI VALLEY, CA 93063 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated 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 obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $407,692.72 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. 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, pur-

suant 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 Auction. com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0900005017-1. 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.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 08/09/17 at 9:00AM in Dept. J6 located at 4353 E. VINEYARD AVENUE, OXNARD, CA 93036 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by ANNIE COVARRUBIAS in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that ANNIE COVARRUBIAS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: 8/3/2017 at Time: 9:00 am in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Ave, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Complex.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court.

If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on August 20, 2003 as Instrument No. 200308200317197, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Ventura County, California, executed by ALFONSO QUIROZ AND ISABEL P. QUIROZ, HUSBAND AND WIFE, AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor(s), in favor of FINANCIAL FREEDOM SENIOR FUNDING CORPORATION, A SUBSIDIARY OF LEHMAN BROTHERS BANK, FSB as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 426 SOUTH JOANNE AVENUE, VENTURA, CA 93003 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated 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 obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $304,198.14 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0500079916-2. 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.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 08/31/17 at 9:00AM in Dept. J6 located at 4353 E. VINEYARD AVENUE, OXNARD, CA 93036 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $710,202.80 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0600005417-1. 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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY SUMMER From page 8A Also have a plan for keeping your kids entertained. Let them choose a few activates ahead of time, like preparing a road trip playlist or making a game like road trip bingo with sights you’ll be seeing along the way. If you have a tablet or phone, downloading free games, podcasts or movies can be another great option.

Protect your home while you are away. One other way to save on your road trip is to ensure that your home is protected while you’re gone. If you can, ask a trusted neighbor, friend or family member to keep an eye on your house. If you can’t find someone to help, you can call US Postal Service to hold your mail while you’re away. Double check that you’ve locked all doors and windows, including the garage door, and that you’ve set your alarms and put your lights on a timer.

Bottom line: Road trips can be an adventurous and inexpensive way to see the country, but costs can add up if you’re underprepared. Planning your stops and packing to anticipate your needs could help you enjoy the ride rather than worry about the expenses.

ASTHMA From page 9A Cool down with a 10 to 30-minute walk. This allows the temperature and possible restriction changes which occur in the lungs to gradually reduce, decreeing the risk of an exerciseinduced asthma attack.

Yoga One preliminary study of 24 volunteer asthmatic patients found that individuals who practiced Indian yoga (in groups) daily for 50 minutes, while supervised, resulted in a decreased number of day and night attacks and use of anti-asthmatic drugs.

Findings also showed significant improvement in the peak expiratory flow rate – aka a simple measurement of how quickly you can blow air out of your lungs.

However, further research is recommended.

FITNESS From page 9A studio also features stretch bars, pull-up bars and the options to place speed bags, punching bags, and other workout accessories.

The FitBomb is available in a Studio size (7 by 9 feet) and a Solo size (6 feet, 5 inches by 50 inches).

Other special features include touch screen controllers that activate Wi-Fi videos on a TV in each unit. It is handicap-accessible, and also has a Power Access System card designed to activate power to the FitBomb for a predetermined time and a number of activations that allows easier tracking of user activity.

GIRLS From page 10A Larenz Tate plays an old friend named Julian, who is a sensitive soul and a perfect counterbalance to Stewart, a hardened lothario.

Tate hasn’t aged a day since 1997’s “Love Jones.”

Haddish gets the best lines and the most outrageous physical humor. What she does with a banana and a grapefruit in one scene is so whacked out she could earn a best supporting actress award.

She lifts the Dina character off the page, brings her alive on screen and displays a go-for-the-jugular humor that makes you think she will do anything for a laugh, just like Melissa McCarthy.

The quartet of actresses must share top-billing with New Orleans and the Essence Music Festival. Through the lens of cinematographer Greg Gardiner (“The Best Man Holiday”) NOLA and Beale Street look so inviting.

The colors, especially in the costumes (Danielle Hollowell, “The Best Man Holiday”), pop off the screen with brilliant yellows, lush reds and bright oranges. Also, if you’ve been curious about the Essence Music Festival and have never gone, you’re getting a free look. Glimpses of concert performances by Maxwell, Faith Evans and others enliven the footage.

Cameos by Morris Chestnut and Ava DuVernay add verve.

There is something endearing about watching old friends work through their differences and rekindle the love and solidarity that once united them. But that’s like reading Playboy for the great articles. Audiences who venture out to see Girls Trip are really hungering for outlandish humor and a good date movie—and that’s what they’ll get. They will laugh themselves silly and leave happy.

Every two seconds you’ll find yourself saying, “I can’t believe they just said that.” But they did—and it was oh-so funny!

POLICE From page 11A police brutality victims. So is Sandra Bland. So is Tamir Rice.

So is Amadou Diallo. So is Rekia Boyd. So is Jordan Edwards. So is Philando Castile. But I’ll be honest with you, I think a lot of

well meaning white people in Minnesota and all around the world have looked at the most well known cases of police brutality, and have seen a black problem that is simply unlikely to visit them like it is now visiting the family of Justine Damond.

I don’t know how familiar you are with the concept of “mirror neurons.” Google it. It’s some deeply fascinating stuff. Simply put, it’s the concept of how when you see something happening to someone that looks like you, or reminds you of yourself, you have neurons in your brain that fire off almost like you yourself are experiencing the thing you are watching. For the past three years, African-Americans across the country have been watching the horrors of police brutality and internalizing so much of the pain as those mirror neurons fire off.

The pain and the plight are personal.

Maybe, just maybe, with the shooting death of Justine Damond, millions of white people, for the very first time, will now see a victim of police brutality, and see themselves.

SILENCE From page 11A to negotiate for lower drug prices.

While I am disappointed by the president’s silence, I am undeterred. I am still fighting hard in Congress to address this issue.

Rep. Welch and I recently joined Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) to introduce the “Improving Access to Affordable Prescription Drugs Act”—a comprehensive approach to lowering prescription drug costs. Our bill would improve transparency in drug pricing and manufacturing; allow Medicare to negotiate for lower prices in Part D and require negotiation for certain high-cost drugs; allow the importation of safe, affordable prescription drugs; help generic drugs reach the market more easily; and cap the outof-pocket costs for prescription drugs in private insurance plans.

I still hope that we will gain the support of the President and our Republican colleagues on this issue. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue, this is a moral issue. Are we the type of country that values people over profit, or are we a country that values profit over people? The American people have made it clear where they stand. They want Congress to work together to fix this problem.

Continued silence in the face of so much hardship and suffering is simply unacceptable.

ENGLISH From page 11A Language is always the key ingredient in defining a country and is one of the defining things that make a person a part of that particular country.

You can’t be a Frenchman and not speak French. You can’t be a German and not speak German. So, why, in America, can you be allowed to be American, but not speak English?

I am really fed up with immigrants wanting citizenship, but not wanting to become Americans.

Being American must include speaking English; knowing the Pledge of Allegiance; and being loyal to America and only America and all of its values.

This must be codified in law and enforced.

You can’t be a basketball player, but play football everyday. You can’t be a chef, but study to be a lifeguard. You can’t be a preacher and never study the Bible.

Likewise, you can’t be an American and not speak English. Just because you are a legal citizen, doesn’t mean that you’re automatically an American. Being an American is about the language, the culture, and the values. That’s what every American should have in common.

Until we get back to these principles, we will continue to lose the true meaning of what should make us all Americans.

WEALTH From page 11A there they were! Thomas was awarded a grant of 160 acres in 1916 while Cicero was awarded his grant of 160 acres in 1901 right next door to each other. So, what happened to all this land – 320 contiguous acreage of prime farm land?

I went down to the courthouse to search land records and that told the story. There was this white realtor by the last name of Roos who obviously approached my people and suggested that he would help them apply for free land (They were illiterate and/ or intimidated by applying to the federal government). When the

grant arrived, Roos started buying shares from them (for his fee) and then they would quickly sell the rest to every white person around them until it was all sold out except for the 40 acres that they would keep for themselves.

Looking at the books this was a cottage industry for local realtors. A great opportunity for rural Blacks just slipped through their “fingers”.

Blacks at this point in our history had little respect for land.

Oh, if they only knew. When the great migration started taking place, people who still had land would sell it for a penny on a dollar just to migrate to western or northern cities. Blacks in Los Angeles would call a realtor in Louisiana to sell land they just inherited. They would fly into the Shreveport airport sign the papers, take the check, and fly right back to L.A. to buy a new Mercedes car. They would not even look at the land (that may have had oil, timber, natural gas, and other valuable commodities on it).

We had $millions upon $millions and just let it go. This time let’s not let a great opportunity slip by again. Let’s get rid of the Estate Tax. Why let the IRS take it!

Website: www.nationalbcc.org Email: halford@nationalbcc.org NIVENS From page 14A aside for his party. There were gold, black and white balloons with “40th” printed on them.

There was also a candy buffet, all decked out in gold candies for all the party-goers. The decoration committee worked very hard to make this party a success.

As guests arrived, they were greeted and seated. The hospitality staff at BJ’s proved to be professional and efficient. The food came out buffet style and included a variety of savory salads, appetizing veggies, meats and a variety of pizza. All was kept hot and fresh while waiting for the guest of honor.

A lookout alerted the group that Pastor Nivens and his wife had arrived. Upon entering the establishment, he was floored when the hundred or so guests yelled, “Surprise!” A humble man, Pastor Nivens greeted his guests with warmth and sincerity. His wife, First Lady Rebecca, illuminated the room with her smile, satisfied with all the planning that she and her special friends at Evangelistic Baptist Church had put into this special birthday. It was an amazing success. Dinner was blessed, then served, and shortly thereafter everyone sang “Happy Birthday”, in the traditional Stevie Wonder style. Pastor Nivens was urged to have words with his guests. He thanked God for everyone from near and far and reminded everyone of the blessing they were to him. Pastor Nivens gave a special thank you to his lovely for her role in this very special birthday, praying that there would be more to come.

Pastor Nivens made himself available to those that wanted photos with him. His ministerial “brothers” gathered with him for pictures. The candy buffet was opened for business and everyone got as much as they wanted, departing with a sweet taste in their mouths.

ZUMBA From page 1B “I had so much fun at a fundraiser at the Boys and Girls Club last year, I was not going to miss the fundraiser of the year,” said Zumba diva Peggy Hunt, publisher, Tri County Sentry. She continued, “Thank you Mizzy MB for a great fun-filled day.”

Another attendee commented, “I understand the importance of moving and remaining active.

Mizzy MB is a talented instructor and is chock-full of energy.

One can’t help but stay motivated in her classes,” said Ms. Onakomaiya.

Fruit, water and pizza were provided and some guests later attended an after-party at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Sprinkles.

When asked why she does it, Mizzy MB replied, “I do it to give back to the community. I am so thankful to U-JAM and Zumba for giving us a way to give back.”
