Voices and View Points The Power of Forgiveness Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan Forgiveness is power because it not only frees you to live the life you supposed to live but it helps you get unstuck. If you feel stuck in any area of your life it could very well be due to a lack of forgiveness. It’s so important to forgive people who’ve hurt you. It’s important for you, and it’s important for your church. Way too many people aren’t fulfilling God’s purpose for their life because they’re harboring past hurts.

And way too many churches are suffering because of it.

Maybe you are having trouble forgiving someone else or yourself. It doesn’t matter.

Holding on to past memories or “stories” is guaranteed to tie up your energy and block your ability to move forward with your life.

I struggled with forgiveness for many years because I believed that if I forgave someone they would not receive the “just punishment” they deserved for what they had done to

me. I was wrong.

What I learned is that when the Bible says you reap what you sow it means the universe will always seek balance and it will deal with that person or situation in the appropriate way, even if it that means letting them off the hook. The outcome in their life has nothing to do with the outcome in my life unless I choose to keep myself tied to it.

So if you are stuck in any area of your life, take a look at your unwillingness to forgive yourself and others. Real forgiveness is not a cheap term you just throw out that instantly makes everybody feel better. That’s not real forgiveness.

1. Forgiveness is remembering how much you’ve been forgiven.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

(Ephesians 4:32 NIV) This is the starting point for genuine forgiveness. If you don’t feel forgiven, you won’t want to forgive anybody else. If you’re hard on yourself, you’re going to be hard on others. But the more grace you receive from God, the more gracious you’re going to be to others.

The more forgiven you feel

by God, the more forgiving you’ll be toward others.

2. Forgiveness is responding to evil with good.

The Bible says in Luke 6:27-28, “Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (NIV). How can you tell when you’ve really forgiven somebody? When you can look at that person’s hurt and not just your own and pray for God to bless him or her.

You ask, “How could I ever do that for the person who’s hurt me?” You can’t unless you allow the love of God to penetrate your life.

Only the love of God can help you do something like that.

3. Forgives is promising never to bring the offense up again. Not that you will forget it but you won’t bring it up and use it against the person later on.

What difference has God’s grace made in your life? How can you extend that grace to others For whom do you need to pray God’s blessing today? What hurt do you need to let go of What good can you do for someone in your life who hates you or who has wronged you?

4. Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time.

Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive

Confine Yourself

The Mind Matters

By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC Marcus Aurelius (121180 AD) believed happiness was to be achieved by living “according to nature” in harmony with the principle which orders the universe. A Roman emperor and philosopher who composed bits of wisdom in a work called Meditations, he believed that the serenity of someone who lived in the present moment could not be affected by misfortunes of the past or the fear of the future. He advised, “Confine yourself to the present.”

Have you considered this bit of advice? When you’re thinking about the past, you’re thinking about it now. When you’re thinking about the future, you’re thinking about it now. There is only the now moment. Thinking about the past may cause you to

There are horror stories!

12. Alaska Native Corporations: Presently the Alaska Native Corporations program is incorporated into the 8a Program. ANC’s are given various exceptions and advantages versus the 8a rules. Exceptions in size standards, race, graduation dates, subcontracting limits, etc. make them superior to valid 8a firms. Thus, ANC’s are predatory versus bona fide 8a firms. The volume of traditional 8a awards immediately started shrinking by the billions of dollars and transferred to ANC volume since the start of this peculiar program. Contrary to the name of the program many of these ANC companies are owned

by Caucasian, blond and blue eyed individuals who attain billions of dollars in sales and reside outside of Alaska. This first became noticed by the National Black Chamber of Commerce when reviewing a significant drop in minority 8a business contracts awarded during the mid – 1990’s and then the contracting activity during the Katrina rebuilding process in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

Solution: The ANC Program should be separate and noncompetitive with the 8a program (it is different).

Thinking about the future may create anxiety or fear.

When you stay in the moment, you have more creative control. You can not change the past and the future does not exist.

Your thoughts are a constant stream of consciousness. They exist in the moment. You are in control of your thoughts…in the moment. You decide what to focus upon. You decide what feelings you want to evoke.

When you think about things in the past that disturb you, you create the same vibrational energy that you felt during that time in the past when you had the experience.

By Sue Hines Imagine your teenage son came home wearing the very latest fashion item in hip-hop fashion – from Kanye West’s new line of “luxurious” clothing. How proud he is wearing it!

Hans Christian Andersen is smiling down at you and you realize your mouth is open. Your smiling young Emperor is standing in front of you in what looks like his undershirt.

It is a plain white T-shirt and it only cost $120.

Well, imaginary lucky

parent, just remember, he could have chosen the $480 plain white T-shirt from Dior Homme.

What is this all about?

The power of brand!

Before you protest too much, look in your own medicine cabinet. Do you have any branded overthe-counter meds in there?

If so, you probably paid a 300% premium. The average consumer is more likely than doctors and nurses to buy branded over-thecounter medications.

We live in a branded world now. There is no getting away from it. From staples like gas and bread to luxury items, brands are everywhere. The good ones are so appealing! Irresistible even.

FACT: A powerful brand is more profitable.

• It commands higher prices • Customers seek them out • Customers are more loyal • Competitors lose their relevance

….. compared to what?

Compared to a business or a product that is not well branded.

“People feel better about themselves when they take a Coca-Cola off the shelf than when they take a generic grocery-store soda, even though they are both just brown water and sugar. Emotion must be evoked for a brand to really stick.” ~ Robert Sprague, chief executive of PCI Communications Brand is far more influential than price – by a huge margin!

75 years ago, Congress chose the Star Spangled Banner as our national anthem at a time when lynching was common.

“I think it should be changed because we have grown as a nation. What happened in the past must be faced, for us to go on, and see better days in the future. The knowledge and wisdom we have gained from previous generations should reflect positive change.”

“I don’t think we should change the song. However, I do think we should change our connotative meaning of the song. In short, change how we perceive the song.”

“My father said to always stand. We need to respect it. Changing history in the present is incorrect and unacceptable.”

“I did not know that those lyrics were in the national anthem. I just cannot believe it. It should be changed.”

“Yes, it should be changed for these reasons. Also, it glorifies violence and destruction.”

“I don’t think the National Anthem should be changed. We know the history that our forefathers went through (slavery for example). What needs to change is people’s heart, and respect for one another.”

State News Black Activists Rally For Unarmed White Man Shot and Killed by Police Officers

Najee Ali, founder of Project Islamic Hope

Los Angeles, CA — Project Islamic Hope, a group of mostly AfricanAmerican civil rights leaders, are rallying after an unarmed white man was recently shot by police officers in Los Angeles County. The protesters are questioning the deputy’s shooting of the 51-year old man, who is homeless, be-

cause they say that it’s the right thing to do.

“We can’t only be advocates when Black people are killed by police unjustly,” says Najee Ali, founder of Project Islamic Hope. Via his organization, Ali is organizing a coalition of civil rights groups, which also include the National Action Network and the L.A. Ur-

ban Policy Roundtable. All of them are calling on state Attorney General Kamala Harris to launch an investigation of the shooting.

According to at least one witness, the homeless man, William Bowers, was shot around 9pm without warning as he was just getting off his bicycle.

Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s Bill to Protect Children from

Identity Theft Approved by Governor

SACRAMENTO, CA – Governor Brown signed Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s (D-Los Angeles) legislation to protect children from identity theft. AB 1580 will allow parents to freeze their children's credit with bureaus to prevent identity thieves from opening fraudulent credit accounts and ruining their credit scores.

“In an era where hackers have stolen millions of records including names, birth dates, and social-security numbers belonging to children, AB 1580 will give parents practical tools to protect their child's financial future,” said Gatto, a member of the Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee.

Assemblyman Mike Gatto

Current law allows parents to freeze a child’s credit only after the child has become a victim of identity fraud. However, because children don’t typically have accounts or

check their FICO scores, the damage caused by identity thieves is often not discovered until years later, when a child applies for a student loan, a job, or a credit card.

“Children start out with a clean slate, which has made them the most sought-after target for cybercriminals.

In fact, a recent child-identity theft study found that 10.2% of the children in the study had someone else using their social-security number; a rate 51 times higher than adults in the same population sample,” said AB 1580 co-author, Asm. Jacqui Irwin.

“California needs to protect its youngest citizens. This change is long overdue,” said Gatto.

Governor Brown Signs Chávez Assembly Bill 1875 into Law

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Rocky Chávez (R-Oceanside) announced Governor Brown has signed AB 1875 into law.

“As a parent of a disabled child, I know firsthand the challenges many families face when making sure that their child’s needs are met,” said Assemblymember Chávez. “The State has a responsibility to make sure we strive to provide assistance to those who truly need help, especially those in our disabled community.”

“Nothing is more important to a parent than their children’s future and this bill will allow parents who paid into the Cal-

Assemblymember Rocky Chávez

STRS pension program to set up a trust for their special needs child.”

“AB 1875 will permit irrevocable trusts, with spec-

ified characteristics, which are established for individuals who are disabled to be an option or annuity beneficiary in the CalSTRS benefit program,” Chávez proclaimed. “Finally, parents in the CalSTRS program can rest easy knowing their loved ones will be taken care of,” said Chávez.

Rocky J. Chávez is a retired Marine Corps Colonel, former City Councilman and former Acting Secretary of the California Department of Veterans Affairs.

He represents California’s 76th Assembly District, which includes Camp Pendleton, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside and Vista.

Wilk honors California Bakery & Café as “Small Business of the Month”

SANTA CLARITA – Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, honored California Bakery & Cafe as the 38th Assembly District Small Business of the Month.

“Many residents know California Bakery & Café for their delicious pastries offered 24 hours a day,” Wilk said. “But what is most remarkable is their enthusiasm to give back to our community. Whether it is donating to local schools, nonprofits, or providing food for the Sand Fire emergency crews, their generosity has had a profound impact all over the community.”

Owned by Agustin Prieto, California Bakery &

Assemblyman Scott Wilk

Café has been operating in Santa Clarita for over 14 years and routinely donates to local elementary and high schools, as well

as to local nonprofits. The California Bakery & Café touches many parts of the community and is open 24 hours a day.

"We appreciate the office of Assemblyman Wilk recognizing that we are involved in the community,” Agustin stated. “The number one thing I try to do is invest in our youth because they are our future, it’s important we get them involved.”

The Small Business of the Month program highlights and recognizes local small businesses that hire locally, give back to local non-profits, and promote growth and investment in the community.

As you prepare for a new year at college, managing your money may be the last thing on your mind.

But, college is the perfect time to instill strong and healthy financial habits, such as budgeting and living within your means.

By starting on the right foot with good saving and spending habits, you'll have a good chance to set yourself up for a life of financial success. Here are some ideas students – with the help of parents, relatives and the school's financial aid office – can consider while taking the leap into living away from home.

Create a financial plan early on. Create a general financial plan for your college years right away, and a more detailed budget for the upcoming semester.

You can start with estimated costs for tuition, fees, room and board from your school's financial aid office and fill in the actual numbers once you know them.

Even with financial aid, most college students need to be frugal as they balance major expenses and a limited income from work or parental support. While you may need to take out student loans, the better you manage your personal

and educational expenses the less you'll have to borrow now, and repay later.

Adjust your budget as you go. Your focus should be school, but you can also take time to track your money and stick to your budget. A budget can be a tool and a learning opportunity, and particularly during your first few semesters, you'll likely have to make adjustments as you learn to balance wants and needs.

Try to stick with it and remember it's okay to make changes (and an occasional mistake) as you go.

Parents can discuss how they manage their personal or family budget and offer suggestions for cutting expenses or finding work.

College students may face many financial firsts, such as signing a rental agreement, purchasing insurance or applying for a loan, and parents can share their experiences and advice.

Make your budget add up. Learning how to roll with the punches and live within your means are timeless skills. You'll have to balance academic obligations with a part- or full-time job to increase your income. But, there are often flexible on-campus jobs you can qualify for

if you have a work-study grant as part of your financial aid package.

When it comes to saving, there are all sorts of ways to cut costs on necessities and indulgences. Consider the following three tactics almost any college student can use to spend less money.

• Use student discounts.

Dozens of stores offer students discounts, validated with an official ID, or a .edu email address, and you may be able to save 10 to 20 percent off your purchase. Ask store employees or check online before to see if a store offers a student discount before checking out.

• Save on textbooks. Look for alternatives to buying new textbooks, such as renting textbooks, buying used books, purchasing or renting e-textbooks or using the library's reference copies.

• Mobilize your savings.

If saving money is just one more thing you don't want to think about, you can save your spare cash via your smartphone. Thinking about buying a car next summer or saving money for spring MONEY, See page 12A

Sports News Richard Sherman Wants To Talk About Police Shootings, Not The Game Richard Sherman

By Carla Herreria Richard Sherman is well known for his unconventional approach to press conferences ― and the Seattle Seahawks cornerback took the stage to let reporters know what’s really on his mind.

Sherman started his weekly presser with a few words on the Seahawks’ upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers. Then he told reporters he wouldn’t be taking questions about the game.

“I’m not going to answer any questions today and it’s no offense to you guys,” Sher-

man told the crowd of reporters, as seen in the video below filmed by The News Tribune of Tacoma. “I think the state of things in the world today is very interesting.”

Sherman used the forum to address recent fatal police shootings of black men in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and in Charlotte, North Carolina, and to talk about the importance of the national anthem protests against police violence led by the 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick and other NFL athletes.

Then, still without taking any questions, Sherman walked out of the room.

During his two-minute speech, Sherman said that certain NFL players are trying to take a stand and “raise people’s awareness,” but their message is still being ignored.

“I think the last couple days a couple more guys have gotten shot and killed in the middle of the street ... and I think people are still missing the point,” Sherman said.

“The reason these guys are kneeling, the reason we’re locking arms, is to bring people together to make people aware that this is not right,” he continued. “It’s not right for people to get killed in the street.”

Sherman explained that he tries to inspire kids when he’s doing community service.

Though he warns kids to comply with the police for their safety, he said “there’s still a chance of them getting shot and no repercussions for anyone.”

“Something needs to be done,” Sherman continued. “And so, when a guy takes a knee, you can ignore it. You can say he’s not being patriotic, he’s not honoring the flag.

I’m doing none of those things. I’m saying, straight up, this is wrong and we need to do something. So thank you guys, have a blessed day.”

After walking out of the press conference, Sherman answered reporters’ questions in the locker room, NBC’s Pro Football Talk reported.

Cam Newton Finally Gets Real About 'Everything's going to be all right' Racism, The Burden Of Oppression

By Brennan Williams Cam Newton ― who previously said that America is “beyond” racism ― has changed his tune in light of the police shooting of a black man in Charlotte.

During the Carolina Panthers weekly media press conference, the reigning NFL MVP was asked to provide his thoughts on the string of racial unrest that has taken place in the city since.

The quarterback at first seemed to hold back sharing his thoughts. Then, he started to open up. Newton repeatedly said that he’s a firm believer in people ― no matter who you are ―

Cam Newton

being held accountable for their actions, saying “I’m a firm believer of justice.

I’m a firm believer of doing the right thing.”

He then added: “I’m an African-American. I am not happy with how justice has been dealt with over the years, the state of oppression in our community.”

Newton also expressed his concern for the families of the victims.

“When things happen in the community, it’s not the fact that things are happening. It’s the way they’re being treated after they’re happening. When you get a person that does some unjust things or killing an innocent person, killing fathers, killing people who have actual families.

That’s real. I have a son and a daughter that I’m responsible for. So how would I be if one day they come home and there’s no more daddy?”

By Kelly Dwyer Expectedly, and thankfully, Chris Bosh has released a statement regarding his failed physical.

The Miami Heat star’s career with the franchise may be in jeopardy due to the complications from blood clots that appear to be ongoing, and the Heat’s declaration that he is unfit to play for the team following that failed physical.

Rather than reeling from the impediment, Bosh continued to engage with his fans via video messages sent out through his Twitter feed.

He released one late Friday: Setbacks may happen, but my intentions remain the same. Thank you all for the warm wishes and support. #BoshRebuilt From the clip: “So, just because the journey has ups and downs

Adrienne and Chris Bosh

doesn’t mean that I will stop sharing with you guys. So I will just continue to share, despite what’s going on.

“Little setbacks happen, but that doesn’t change my intentions and what I want accomplish. So, I hope you continue to watch. I hope you continue to really just take in my journey and just come along with me, with the ups and the downs. So it’s a down moment right now, but everything’s going to be all right.”

The “all right” designation is what the Heat has been after all along.

Though Bosh is 32 and owed nearly $76 million through the end of his contract (which expires after the 2018-19 season). The team has given every indication that it wants to retain his talents as a player moving forward, despite the fact that Bosh’s 201415 and 2015-16 seasons were cut short due to the blood clot diagnosis.

NCAA rules Villanova's prized freshman ineligible

to play this season

By Jeff Eisenberg Replacing Daniel Ochefu just became a whole lot tougher for reigning national champion Villanova.

Omari Spellman, the heralded freshman hailed as Ochefu’s heir apparent at center, has been ruled academically ineligible to play for the Wildcats this season, the school announced. The 6-foot-9 big man will redshirt during the 2016-17 school year now that the NCAA has denied his final appeal to play right away.

“We are extremely disappointed for Omari,” Villanova coach Jay Wright said in a statement. “While we don’t agree with the NCAA’s decision, we are members of the association and respect it. We understand why the NCAA felt it had to rule this way.

“We will make a positive out of this for Omari.

He will concentrate on his academics and individual development this season.

In the long run Omari will be a better student and

Omari Spellman

player for this experience.”

While the loss of Spellman makes Villanova a little smaller and less talented, the Wildcats are still likely to begin the season in the top 10 in the polls and as the favorite to win the Big East.

Wright’s team returns all but two key players from last year’s championship squad — Ochefu and point guard Ryan Arcidiacono.

National News Man Finally Admits To Murder Ceremony Honors Baltimore That Kept His Twin Brother Police Officers Charged in Prison For 13 Years in Freddie Gray’s Death

Twin brothers, Karl Smith and Kevin Dugar

Chicago, IL — Karl Smith, a 38-year old man from Chicago, has recently come forth to make a shocking courtroom confession admitting that he was the one who committed a crime that earned his twin brother a 54-year prison sentence.

Back in 2003, his brother, Kevin Dugar, was convicted of firing a gun into a small group of people. One person died, and another was seriously wounded.

According to The Chicago Tribune, Karl testified on the witness stand to a Cook County Illinois judge, saying, “I’m here to confess to a crime I committed that

he was wrongly accused of.” But Karl has also himself been in prison for the past three years serving a 99-year sentence for a 2008 home invasion robbery.

He reportedly sent a letter to his twin brother confessing to the crime. He said in his letter that he was owning up to it because “I have to get it off my chest before it kills me.” He later signed a sworn affidavit detailing his admission.

But a new trial will not automatically be granted Despite the confession, Kevin’s release from prison won’t be that simple.

According to his lawyer,

authorities have no evidence linking him to the crime. She also claims that his photo was not even included in the photo lineup that was shown to witnesses. She argued in court that his brother’s confession raises enough doubt to grant Kevin a new trial.

However, Assistant State’s Attorney Carol Rogala has questioned Kevin’s motive in coming forward. She says he only chose to do so after an appeals court upheld his own conviction.

As of now, it remains unclear if the Cook County Judge overseeing the case will grant Kevin a new trial.

Young Girl Cries While Giving an Emotional Speech About Police

Brutality That Will Move You To Tears

The incident is under investigation.

Zianna Oliphant

Charlotte, NC — Zianna Oliphant, a young girl from North Carolina, has won national attention after she recently delivered an emotional speech at a Charlotte City Council meeting about the police brutality epidemic in the Black community. In her touch speech, she spoke about how this affects her on a daily basis.

“It’s a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed and we can’t see them anymore,” she said with tears coming down her face. “It’s a shame that we have to go to their graveyard and bury them. And we have tears.

We shouldn’t have tears.

We need our fathers and mothers to be by our side.”

She continued, “I’ve been born and raised in Charlotte. And I never felt this way till now and I can’t stand how we’re treated.

We are Black people and we shouldn’t have to feel like this. We shouldn’t have to protest because y’all are

treating us wrong. We do this because we need to and have rights.”

Her powerful words were in response to the recent killing of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, an unarmed African American man from the Charlotte area that was gunned down by local police. Scott died on September 20th as local police officers attempted to serve a warrant to another man who lives in his apartment complex. As officers were passing through the parking lot, they encountered Scott who was exiting his car, and said that he made a threatening move with a gun. The officers then shot and killed Scott.

As angry protesting broke out across the city for several nights, Scott’s family released a statement saying that not only was he unarmed, but that he was just reading a book when the officers encountered him and killed him for no apparent reason.

Baltimore, MD — During a recent right-wing Virginia-based Media Research Center’s annual black tie gala, the six Baltimore police officers that were previously charged in the death of Freddie Gray were celebrated. They received standing ovations while honorary speakers commended them for being good, innocent servants to the community.

Deneen Borelli, a frequent Fox News contributor, told audience members, “In April of last year, six Baltimore police officers were transporting Freddie Gray to jail and he died en route. Immediately someone made the accusation that Gray had been killed by the police.

The accusation grew and grew – fed by the left, political agitators, and the national media – to advance

the anti-police narrative.

Soon there were riots in the street.”

The officers (two of whom are African American) were initially charged and indicted for his death, but this past July, prosecutors dropped all charges and they were acquitted.

Borelli says that it was a disgrace that either of them was ever charged to begin with.

The six officers received a standing ovation The crowd then erupted into cheers and applause as she called each officer to the stage and then said, “These five men and one woman, all veteran police officers, were now in handcuffs, fighting for their lives, their careers destroyed, bankrupted, humiliated.”

She continued, “No one apologized for ruining

their lives. No one thanked them for their service or recognized their honor.

Who will thank these officers? Who will thank all police officers … at a time they are being so vilified?

Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we will.” The crowd again gave the officers a standing ovation.

What kind of event was this?

The event was hosted by the Media Research Center, a politically conservative content analysis organization founded in 1987 and based in Reston, Virginia that prides itself on exposing “the propaganda arm of the Left: the national news media.” The organization’s founder, L. Brent Bozell, is backed by the well-known billionaire Mercer family, who are big donors and supporters of Donald Trump.

Ten Fall Home Improvement Tips Yahoo Says At Least 500 Million

Now that summer gear has been stowed away, it's time to focus on fall home improvement projects. According to Vicki Payne, host of the For Your Home with Vicki Payne television show, autumn is the key time to evaluate your home exterior and prepare it for the harsh winter months ahead.

"With cooler fall weather comes the realization that your home will soon experience cold, snowy weather," says Payne, a nationally recognized home improvement expert on the country's longest running home and garden television show.

Payne recommends this checklist for exterior fall home improvement projects: Tip #1 - Evaluate your roof. Look for missing or loose shingles, deterioration of asphalt shingles along with mold, algae or splitting of real wood shingles. If the roof is in poor shape, consider upgrading to a synthetic roof,.

Tip #2 - Clean your gutters. Get leaves and gunk out now so that gutters won't get backed up, clogged and frozen in the winter, causing ice formations. Gutters should be securely attached to the home and sloped for proper drainage. Also check to make sure all downspouts are clean and connected.

Tip #3 - Check your siding and trim. Make sure there are no rotting boards or insect infestations in

Accounts Hacked In 2014

any wood exterior products. Determine if a new paint job is needed before the winter weather hits.

Tip #4 - Evaluate the deck. If your deck has seen its last summer party, look at replacing it before the winter with either a Western Red Cedar deck or composite decking from TAMKO®.

Tip #5 - Check the functionality of your garage door. You're in and out of your garage door many times each day.

Make sure it's functioning properly and has strong air infiltration seals to help keep energy bills down.

Tip #6 - Seal up the windows. Make sure your windows have strong weather-stripping in place with energy-efficient glass that is still working.

Tip #7 - Consider a privacy window upgrade.

Tired of closing blinds or shades to gain privacy in your bathroom or bedroom? Think about replacing key windows

with decorative glass or acrylic block privacy windows.

Tip #8 - Check out your doors. As with windows, your entry doors should have weather stripping that's not worn out around the entire opening.

This helps keep drafty cold air out of your house during winter months.

Tip #9 - Secure or replace railings. Loose or unstable railing systems can be dangerous. Check all balusters, handrails and elements of front and back rail systems to assure they're functioning properly.

Tip #10 - Spend time with your landscaping.

Once the leaves have fallen, get out the rakes. Remove dead leaves and underbrush around the house and garden area before the snow falls. Re-mulch key landscaping areas. Trim back trees and bushes away from the house to get your home ready for winter snows.

By Dustin Volz Yahoo Inc said on that information from at least 500 million of its user accounts was stolen in 2014 by what it believed was a state-sponsored actor, a theft that appeared to the biggest cyber breach ever.

Cyber crooks may have stolen names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and encrypted passwords, the company said. Unprotected passwords, payment card data and bank account information did not appear to have been compromised, Yahoo said, signaling that some of the most valuable user data was not taken.

“This is the biggest data breach ever,” said wellknown cryptologist Bruce Schneier.

He said it was too early to say what impact the breach might have on Yahoo and its users because many questions remain, including the identity of the state-sponsored hackers behind it.

It was not immediately clear when Yahoo learned of the hack and why it took two years to come to light.

The size of the attack on Yahoo was unprecedented compared to other corporate breaches such as

at eBay Inc in 2014 which involved personal data of 145 million users.

The Yahoo breach, which follows a rising number of other largescale data breaches, could make it a watershed event that prompts the government and businesses alike to put more effort into bolstering defenses, said Dan Kaminsky, a well-known Internet security expert.

“Five hundred of the Fortune 500 have been hacked,” he said. “If anything has changed, it’s that these attacks are getting publicly disclosed.”

Three U.S. intelligence officials, who declined to be identified by name, said they believed the attack was state-sponsored because of its resemblance to previous hacks traced to Russian intelligence agencies or hackers acting at their direction.

Yahoo said it was working with law enforcement on the matter. The FBI said it was aware of the matter,

and the U.S. Secret Service was not immediately available for comment.

“The investigation has found no evidence that the state-sponsored actor is currently in Yahoo’s network,” the company said.

It was not clear how this disclosure might affect Yahoo’s deal with Verizon.

Verizon, which announced in July an agreement to buy Yahoo’s core internet properties for $4.83 billion, said in a statement it was made aware of the breach within the last two days and had limited information about the matter.

“We will evaluate as the investigation continues through the lens of overall Verizon interests, including consumers, customers, shareholders and related communities,” the company said.

Technology website Recode first reported that Yahoo planned to disclose details about a data breach affecting hundreds of millions of users.

Instagram Has An Awesome Five Ways to Raise Capital and New Drafts Feature Start a Business

(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - Raising capital to start a new business is not as easy as setting up a lemonade stand or selling Girl Scout cookies. A primary reason for the failure of start-ups is a lack of funding. There are plenty of great products and ideas that have never come close to making it to the public.

Without American entrepreneurship, and the drive to just go for it, we would not have Apple, Google, Facebook, Starbucks, or countless other companies that are a part of our everyday lives.

Here are five ways to generate capital for your business in today's economy: 1. Friends and Family.

A tried and true methodology, this has been a staple of start-up funding for hundreds of years. It is however, not without its risks, as a failed business could lead to strained relationships or even the end of relationships.

2. SBA Express. The Small Business Association provides several avenues for borrowing money. SBA Express allows bank-qualified business owners to borrow up to $150,000 without filing the typical SBA loan application.

Plus, owners will receive a loan decision within 36 hours.

3. Community banks.

Community banks actually have the capacity to be flexible with lending terms whereas large corporate banks do not. Find local lenders by reaching out to the Independent Bankers Association of America, which has access to 5,000 community banks.

4. Crowdfunding. Crowdfunding networks like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have raised some serious cash from individual investors. If you have an innovative idea or project, develop a reasonable funding goal and timeline and see which investors support you and pledge funding. Remember, projects must meet their funding

goals before the time runs out, or else no actual money is received. Also, be aware that a percentage of the money raised will be kept by the crowdfunding site as part of their fees.

5. DPOUSA. DPOUSA is an online financial platform providing client companies the opportunity to have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year visibility of a direct public offering to a growing base of over 33,000 accredited investors and institutions representing over $500 billion in available capital.

Unique to DPOUSA is the DPOUSA Special Council, a diverse cross-section of 50 professionals from various industries available to assist DPOUSA client companies.

Visit www.DPOUSA.com for more information.

Whatever the state of the economy, there will be those willing to invest in new businesses. New businesses create jobs and power growth.

There are sources to help with capital. So, once you find the sources, be ready with a great plan to show what you are going to do with the capital, and how the investor will benefit.

Pay attention to the curb appeal of the home you’re showing. From the driveway to the front yard and home exterior, the outside of the home is a big key to buyers’ first impression of a home.

A recent realtor.com® article highlights some ways to boost the curb appeal of your listing, including: Landscape: It can pay off. Well-landscaped homes get anywhere from a 5.5 percent to 12.7 percent sales boost, according to Alex X. Niemiera, a horticulturist at Virginia Tech. Adding some plants and sprucing

up the landscape may be worth it for potentially an extra $16,500 to $38,100 in value on a $300,000 home, according to his research. Make sure the grass is trimmed, clear away any dead limbs or unwanted foliage hanging around the house, and remove any tree branches or bushes that are overcrowding the yard.

Pay attention to the mailbox: “Paint it, polish it, or replace it,” according to the realtor.com® article.

Check the lights: A front porch light can add some appeal. “Attractive

light fixtures can really add to the appeal of a home, even if the lights aren’t on,” realtor.com® notes.

Clean: Wash the windows. Consider power washing the house to remove any dirt and grime.

Do some touch-ups: The entire house may not require repainting but just certain areas, like the trim and front door. “While you’re at it, consider brightening the façade with a touch of contrasting color,” the article notes.

“You’ll be surprised by how a little pop of color can really freshen up the space.”

Five Ways to Add Curb Appeal to Your Listing

By Jenna Amatulli Do you ever take photos to the ‘gram just to edit them?

Yeah? Well, the process used to require you to screenshot the photo and then size it down accordingly.

Now, things have gotten much easier.

Instagram has made drafts an official part of the app. Drafts allow you to save the edited photo mid-posting it so you can go back to it later. You can save the draft by just hitting the back button while you’re editing and Instagram will ask you if you want to save the photo to your drafts.

There’s also a cute little

section that appears when you’re selecting photos that is specifically labeled “Drafts.” You can customize this section as well, using the new “manage” button.

Instagram had been testing the drafts feature with high-profile accounts in the last month or so, like it did with the recently launched comment moderating feature.

The drafts feature is sure to be great for those who post several times a day or manage more than one account ― you can prep your posts hours in advance and just plug a caption on ‘em and publish when the time is right.

Senior Living:

Twelve Medical Mistakes That Can Harm You

By Rich Laliberte Part I of II Health care providers seek to heal the sick, not harm them. Yet, the Journal of Patient Safety found in 2013 that preventable safety failures in hospitals kill 210,000 to 400,000 each year. That represented a sobering increase from the 1999 Institute of Medicine estimate that up to 98,000 hospitalized people die each year from preventable errors. Here’s a dirty dozen key sources of harm.

Wrong diagnosis Doctors don’t just miss weird, rare conditions. They often fail to catch common problems like pneumonia, congestive heart failure and cancer, according to a recent analysis. Autopsy and medical-record reviews suggest that diagnostic errors contribute to about 10 percent of deaths; thus, misdiagnosis is the top cause of medical malpractice payouts, according to a 2015 Institute of Medicine report.

Make your care safer First, understand what your doctor thinks you have. Ask for the medical terminology and look it up at home. Does the condition sound like yours? If not, ask your doctor what he ruled out and why? If the answers don’t sound right, get a second opinion.

Sloppy practices Certain practices that are now standard, such as surgical teams huddling before a procedure to agree on what they’re doing, have helped reduce head-slapping blunders. Is the treatment plan is right in the first place? One study of people in 12 U.S. cities found that about 45 percent of patients didn’t receive recommended care for their conditions.

Make your care safer Ask your doctor to give you details on the guidelines that he’s following for your treatment.

Drug blunders Adverse drug events (in medical parlance) are still among the most common types of preventable harm.

Each time a drug is prescribed or administered, errors can sneak in: ordering the right drug in the right amount, filling the order correctly, and giving it in the right dose at the right time.

Make your care safer Make sure all your doctors know about each medication you take, including supplements. Bring them to your doctor. In the hospital, get to know what your meds look and taste like, and if a nurse brings you something different, ask why. And ask whether you need all the drugs you’re taking.

Dangerous doctors Truly terrible doctors are few and far between — but they’re out there.

Make your care safer Look up doctors on Surgeon Scorecard, a searchable database from the investigative reporting center Pro-

Publica (projects.propublica. org/surgeons) that shows complication rates for physicians based on Medicare data Knowledge gaps Doctors aren’t stupid. They just don’t know what they don’t know. New information routinely revises previous understanding. Thousands more clinical studies are published each month. Doctors especially can’t know what hasn’t been discovered.

Make your care safer If you suspect that she’s not keeping up on guidelines that reflect the most recent studies, search for your condition (and any other conditions that you have, which may complicate your care) at the National Guideline Clearinghouse (guideline. gov) and ask your doctor to explain any discrepancies between professional recommendations and her own.

Buried information The health care industry has a long history of locking down data about safety, or not tracking that data using easy-to-compare measures.

When information is known, there has traditionally been a culture of deny-and-defend.

MISTAKES, See page 13B

aging people's muscles weaken, they become less active and they develop chronic health issues, researchers have found.

Injury rates from falls are seven times higher for seniors with medical issues than for those who are healthy, the CDC reported.

Taking multiple medications adds to the danger.

Glatter added that vision problems, poorly fitting shoes and loose carpeting can also lead to falls.

To reduce your risk, the CDC suggests these steps: • Ask your doctor how to prevent falls and tell him or her if you have fallen recently.

• Be sure your doctor knows all the medications you take.

• Have your eyes checked at least once a year and be sure you use an up-to-date eyeglass prescription.

• Stay active and take part in programs to boost

your strength and balance, such as tai chi. Ask your local Council on Aging for information about programs in your area.

• Remove all trip and fall hazards in your home.

The CDC urges doctors to make fall prevention part of routine office visits.

The agency suggests these steps to doctors: • Ask patients if they feel unsteady, have fallen within the past year or worry about falling.

• Recommend vitamin D supplements.

• Stop, switch or reduce doses of medications that could increase the risk of falls.

"It's vital to evaluate a patient's medication list for potential drug interactions that can make a patient drowsy, lower their blood pressure, and increase their risk of falls," Glatter said.

The report was published in the CDC's Sept.

Cystic Fibrosis Breakthrough for Patients With Fungal

Infections in Lungs

(NewsUSA) - Up to half of all cystic fibrosis patients have fungal infections in their lungs caused by a spore-forming mold named Aspergillus fumigatus. Many of those patients, particularly children and young adults, will develop an allergic reaction to the fungus, Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA), according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Coughing, wheezing and other symptoms can be severe.

Current treatments are oral drugs, including itraconazole. The problem is that high doses are needed to get enough of the drug to the lungs. That causes severe side effects that must be managed and monitored -- including liver toxicity.

A more promising strategy is to deliver the itraconazole directly to the lungs by breathing it in.

That's the approach taken

by Lexington, Mass-based pharmaceutical company Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM). Pulmatrix's innovation was creating small, dense particles that can be easily inhaled, and combining them with drugs such as itraconazole.

"We've urgently needed a way to deliver antifungal drugs directly to the lungs," says Stanford University cystic fibrosis ex-

New treatment offers hope to cystic fibrosis patients with fungal infections in their lungs.

pert Richard Moss M.D. "Pulmatrix's PUR1900, using the inhaled dry particle technology, meets that need. It could offer major benefits to cystic fibrosis patients with fungal infections in their lungs."

That's why the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has granted the company's request for orphan drug status for PUR1900, explaining that the designation "is based on a plausible hypothesis that [the] drug may be clinically superior to the same drug that is already approved."

While PUR1900 has the potential to improve the lives of cystic fibrosis

patients, especially children and young adults, it also could bring significant revenues for Pulmatrix.

The estimated cystic fibrosis market alone is tens of thousands of patients a year, and the drug could also find much larger markets treating millions of other pulmonary fungal infections and other immunocompromised patients, making Pulmatrix a strong investment opportunity.

baby fish before 6 months to 12 months of age would reduce the risk of nasal allergies or hay fever (allergic rhinitis). And they reported very low certainty that doing so before 6 months to 9 months of age would reduce their risk for food allergies.

The evidence surrounding gluten was clearer: Timing does not appear to affect the likelihood of celiac disease, an immune disorder that causes bowel damage.

Guidelines on food introduction have been relaxed in recent years. Parents are no longer advised to delay

offering foods like eggs and peanuts to their children for fear of triggering allergies, the study authors said.

More study would be needed before revising current guidelines, the authors said.

Dr. Matthew Greenhawt is an allergy specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study.

“Delay of introduction of these foods may be associated with some degree of potential harm, and early introduction of selected foods appears to have a well-defined benefit,” Greenhawt wrote.

Feeding Babies Eggs and Peanuts Early May Reduce Allergy Risk

Falls a Deadly Threat for Older Americans

By Mary Elizabeth Dallas Falls are the leading cause of injury and death among older people in the United States, and this health threat is likely to grow since 10,000 Americans now reach age 65 every day, a new federal report shows.

Every second of every day, an older American falls. As falls increase, so do health care costs. In the report, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged doctors to help prevent falls among this high-risk group.

"Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often herald the end of independence," CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said in an agency news release. "Health care providers can make fall prevention a routine part of care in their practice, and older adults can take steps to protect themselves."

Older Americans had 29 million falls in 2014, causing 7 million injuries.

Falls cost Medicare an estimated $31 billion a year, the CDC report revealed.

According to Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency room physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, "Falls among older persons and their attendant injuries -- including head injuries, fractures and lacerations -- are encountered on a daily basis by practicing emergency physicians."

Introducing babies to eggs or peanuts early on may help reduce their risk of food allergies, a new analysis finds.

Researchers reviewed 146 previous studies that examined when babies were given foods that often trigger reactions, as well as their risk of food allergies or autoimmune diseases.

They discovered that the timing of food introduction may affect allergy risk, but they found no similar link for autoimmune disease.

The researchers reported with “moderate certainty” that babies who were given eggs when they were 4 months to 6 months old had a lower egg allergy risk.

And children given peanuts between 4 months and 11 months of age had a lower peanut allergy risk than those who were older.

The study, published Sept. 20 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, said early introduction could head off 24 cases of egg allergy per 1,000 people and 18 cases of peanut allergy per 1,000 people.

En Vogue Are ‘So Glad’They Lane Bryant’s Newest Campaign Sends A Powerful Message Didn’t Use Their Original Name

To All The Trolls

En Vogue

By Lisa Capretto Ever since they made their mark in the ‘90s with hits like “Don’t Let Go” and “Free Your Mind,” we’ve known them as En Vogue. But, as one of the group’s original members reveals, their initial name was actually quite different.

As Cindy Herron tells “Oprah: Where Are They Now?”, not a lot of people know what En Vogue had called themselves upon

first becoming a quartet.

“It was 4 U,” she says, laughing and writing the two characters in the air with her finger.

The original name didn’t stick, of course. “As our music started to develop and we were writing, we started to really see the vision, we thought ‘En Vogue’ best suited who we were and what we were trying to be,” Cindy explains.

Looking back now, she

and fellow original group member Terry Ellis say they’re beyond relieved to have come up with a more suited name.

“4 U? No... I’m so glad we didn’t go with that,” Cindy says.

“Me too!” Terry agrees.

“Oprah: Where Are They Now?” airs on Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET on OWN. You can also watch full episodes on demand via the Watch OWN app.

The world offers a great abundance of amazing places: breathtakingly beautiful natural wonders, culturally significant sites, and unforgettable cities and villages. As Halloween draws near, we feel a change of tone is in order – so here are some of the world’s scariest places you can actually travel to:

7. Aokigahara Forest

By Jamie Feldman This. Is. Major.

Lane Bryant regulars Ashley Graham and Candice Huffine are joined by Alessandra Garcia, Danielle Brooks and Gabourey Sidibe in the brand’s powerfully simple new ad, aptly called #ThisBody Is Made To Shine.

In a video, models read actual comments posted to them on social media, ranging from “no one should be comfortable in a size 14” to “no one should be celebrated for their weight” and, in Graham’s case, “you ruined Sports Illustrated” (talking, of course, about her historic cover from earlier this year).

The hateful comments are juxtaposed against visuals of the women dancing around in their underwear and looking absolutely confident while doing so. The point of the campaign, according to a release from the brand, is to “spotlight what it means to unapologetically celebrate themselves in spite of any adverse feelings or feedback.”

Gabourey Sidibe

The brand hopes that by pointing out both the negative comments and positive responses, other women will be inspired to feel the same way about their own bodies.

Brian Beitler, Lane Bryant CMO, explained in a release: “With the steady rise of social media also comes the scrutiny women face on

a daily basis ― both in a positive and negative light. #ThisBody Is Made to Shine aims to strip away the adversity experienced and show all women that it is possible to continue to shine despite what anyone has to say. The women in this campaign shut down their naysayers and do what’s right for them.”

Top Ten Scariest Travel Destinations in the World

10. Lome Voodoo Bazaar

3. La Isla de las Munecas

Lying in the shadow of the majestic Mount Fuji, Aokigahara holds the unenviable title of world’s most popular suicide spots. Dozens, sometimes even more than one hundred people end their lives in the forest every year, a lot of the times by hanging. Authorities have placed signs in Japanese and English asking people to reconsider, but this doesn’t seem to have had any effect.

6. Connecticut Museum of the Occult This unusual market has everything you need for everything from healing spells to presumably conjuring up demons. Even without the voodoo spells or curses, the sight of the stands filled with various parts from horses, crocodiles, monkeys, snakes, and many other creatures is certainly a bizarre, dread-inducing image.

9. Beelitz Heilstätten Sanatorium

5. Sedlec Ossuary

Beelitz Heilstätten is an old tuberculosis sanatorium and nursing home located on the outskirts of Berlin. It was closed in 2000 after being in use for about a century and although it has since fallen into disrepair, there’s still plenty to remind people of its previous use. The secluded site has also seen a number of gruesome murders over the years, both before and after it was abandoned, which adds another level of foreboding to the place.

Established by famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, the Connecticut Museum of the Occult is a little house of horrors – whether you believe their ghostbusting credentials or not.

The museum houses the extensive collection the Warrens gathered in more than six decades of examining numerous haunted places across America.

2. Paris Catacombs

Sedlec Ossuary, located beneath a church in the eponymous Czech town, looks like something out a horror flick or a deranged serial killer’s basement.

It contains the bones of as many as 70,000 people exhumed from local cemeteries, arranged as some kind of strange decorations. The centerpiece is the nightmarish chandelier of bones hanging from the ceiling, which is said to contain at least one of every bone in the human body.

The Catacombs are a dark underworld beneath the City of Lights. The word itself – which has quite an eerie feel about it – initially described the underground tunnels dug beneath Rome where the dead were laid to rest.

The Paris Catacombs were established over two centuries ago, when there was literally no more room in the French capital’s cemeteries, so millions of skeletons had to be moved into the old mines beneath the city. It is a dark, narrow underground maze with walls made entirely of carefully arranged human bones (mostly skulls and femurs), some of them set an almost artistic way – like a heart shape made out of skulls embedded in the wall.

You know something really leaves an impression on visitors when it is known as the Gate to Hell. Derweze is a small village in the Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan which also happens to lie in the middle of an area rich in natural gas. In the early 70s, geologists drilled into a cavern filled with natural gas, which collapsed prompting those in charge of the site to burn the poisonous gas discharge. The fire was expected to use up all the fuel within days, but more than four decades later the 230foot wide hole in the middle of the desert is still burning.

The Anga people in the remote Morobe highlands of Papua New Guinea have a very weird way of remembering their dead: instead of burying them, they mummify them by smoking and afterwards place them in bamboo cages, from where they overlook the valleys and villages below. We won’t go into details regarding the entire process –suffice to say, it is very efficient, with remains as old as two centuries reportedly scattered among the cliffs. And although the area is indeed quite secluded, it is by no means inaccessible, even for the casual tourists just wandering around those parts, who could easily find themselves face to face with one of these mummies.

4. The Gate to Hell, Derweze

8. Amsterdam Torture Museum

Europe has a rich heritage of torture methods and instruments, one that deserves a museum of its own. One of the best such places where one can get up close and personal with the sadistic means by which justice was done in the past is the Torture Museum in Amsterdam. Just mentioning the names of instruments like “The Skull Cracker”, “The Rack”, or “The Inquisition Chair” are enough to make chills run down your spine.

Let’s face it: dolls and clowns are scary. There is a place where countless dolls are strewn among the foliage, an island near Mexico City called La Isla de las Muñecas (The Island of the Dolls). Scattered around the canals in the Xochimilco borough of Mexico City, these dolls were gathered by a local man called Julián Santana Barrera, who said he put them there to keep away evil spirits after he found the corpse of a dead girl in the water.

Commentary Silicon Valley is Too Exclusive and Still Far Too White

Keith Lamont Scott Video Footage Too Little Too Late Julianne Malveaux

Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr.

Silicon Valley has ushered in social media, driverless cars, and missions to Mars, contributing to its image in popular culture as an industry of the future, full of visionaries transforming the way people live and communicate throughout the world.

But, there is a persistent contradictory side to Silicon Valley rarely depicted in books, television shows, and movies, full of a handful of powerful companies careful to keep their influence and edge out smaller competitors. Silicon Valley lacks diversity to its eventual detriment.

As the industry grows in influence, it has begun to draw criticism on a number of fronts. From trade groups that represent small business owners, like the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) and the National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP), to the LGBTQ community, and even on Capitol Hill where U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has expressed her concerns over anti-competitive behavior in Silicon Valley, large tech companies have increasingly found themselves in the hot seat over their business practices.

The NNPA, the trade group that represents over 211 Black-owned media

companies and newspapers across the country, has shared these concerns and are lending our voices to the growing chorus of critics who question Silicon Valley’s expanding influence over a multitude of experiences, from news distribution to shopping to professional communications.

Consider the area of news publishing, for example.

While we are pleased that readership of NNPA newspapers continues to be over 20 million per week throughout the United States, we are concerned about the growing trend to get breaking news first from social media. We are now endeavoring as a consequence to establish our own NNPA Digital Network to bring more diversity from an ownership perspective to the digital space.

Across all demographics, including age, race, gender, income and education, Americans are increasingly getting their news through social media.

And none is more popular than Facebook. Last year, 63 percent of Facebook users reported that they use the site as a news platform.

About 600 million people see a news story on Facebook every week, and the site drives a quarter of all web traffic. As a recent article in “The Atlantic” put it, “Facebook Is Eating the Internet.”

What’s worse, the platform presents itself as an honest purveyor of information, even though the mechanisms that determine what users see is shrouded in mystery and have a poor track record when it comes to objectivity and transparency.

Unlike traditional media, Facebook operates free of any serious system of checks and balances. Nor is it required to adhere to any code of conduct beyond its own mission statement.

That unbridled freedom, coupled with the company’s dominance in the digital space, should give its audience pause. Effectively the social media giant allows itself carte blanche to determine by algorithmic fiat not only what news people receive, but what opinions and viewpoints they have access to. Such a vantage has proven to be ripe for abuse.

This area in particular has become of great importance to us, as publishers. If Facebook plays a hand in the type of news that people consume, then, as a publisher, we are subject to the social media website for content.

What the Kaepernick Protest Tells Us About Black Power and Money much money they lose, but we are unwilling to do the same thing at our jobs. Yes, they make a whole lot more money than most of us do, but it’s all relative.

Knowing that economics runs everything in this country and the world for that matter, Black folks in general and Black athletes in particular must exercise another basic right: Use money for leverage and punishment, the same way other entities do. What do I mean by that? Remember the incidents with Michael Vick, Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice? Several NFL sponsors notified the league that they would withdraw their support if the NFL did not address those issues by punishing those athletes in some form or another. The league saw dollar signs flying out of the window and acted accordingly.

Remember the state of Indiana law that gay people said was discriminatory toward them? Corporations threatened to move their firms out of the state if the law was not changed. Governor Mike Pence took care of that problem right away by changing the law. How about the latest issue in North Carolina with the transgender bathroom thing? The NCAA is sanctioning the state by pulling its tournaments, in all sports, out of North Carolina.

Keith Lamont Scott was killed by a police officer on Tuesday, September 20, in Charlotte, N.C. The officer, dressed in civilian clothing, said that Mr. Scott had a gun and that he did not follow verbal orders to put his hands up. While there is videotape that documents the interaction between Scott and Officer Brentley Vinson, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney had, as of Thursday, declined to release the tapes because there was “no compelling reason” to do so. By Saturday, public protest along with a disturbing tape released by Scott’s wife, provided a compelling reason. Still, Chief Putney released just two short snippets of the shooting and indicated that more videotape was being withheld.

The compelling reason for the Charlotte police to release all of the videotape is because there is a significant difference between what they say happened and what the Scott family says. The police say that Scott had a gun; the family says he was in his car reading a book and waiting for one of his sons to come home from school.

Having reviewed the tapes, the family says it has more questions than answers. Allowing others to see the tape will likely raise more questions, but it will also close the trust gap. Failing to release the full video suggests that the Charlotte police have something to hide.

Releasing tape snippets seems like appeasement, like the drip, drip, drip of

the police trying to make a case shooting Scott to death. The North Carolina NAACP, the ACLU, and many others have called for release of the entire, unedited videos, but the police chief has dug his heels in.

Does he have something in common with Rahm Emmanuel, the Chicago mayor who clamed there was nothing to hide on the Laquan McDonald tapes. They were released more than a year after his murder, and they contradicted the police version of his killing.

We didn’t have the luxury of tape during enslavement, yet we know that horrors were visited on Black people. Slave owner journals, along with some of the implements of torture that have been discovered (and may be displayed in our new Museum) document the horrors, but imagine having tape of it.

We don’t have tape of lynching, although there are pictures of those lynched, though they are conspicuously absent in many history books. We don’t have tapes of Rosewood or of the evisceration of Black Wall Street. Indeed, the carnage that economically envious Whites visited on a successful African American community is so shameful that White Tulsans have attempted to erase the record of their cowardly acts – the newspaper articles that recounted White cowardice went missing decades ago.

We don’t have tape of the police brutality that caused so many black deaths in the

early and mid twentieth century. We know the brutality existed, and we know police officers were never charged “back in the day” for killing or torturing Black people. The fact that we didn’t have tape then contributes to the urgency that we get tape now. I don’t know what the tape shows, but I know that I don’t want to leave it to my imagination, and I don’t want a minute here, two minutes there, when we know cameras should have been running for much longer. When another black man is shot and killed and the police version is that he had a gun, the public deserves to see if the tape backs that version up.

If there is a video record of a police interaction with an African American, it ought to be released, and it ought not to be edited.

Failure to do so fuels the anger that spilled over onto Charlotte streets on the evenings of September 20 and 21. Once the family saw the tapes and shared their concerns, people were back on the streets on September 22, but they were peaceful, and the atmosphere was much less tense than it had been.

There is a marked contrast between the behavior of the police establishment in Tulsa and that in Charlotte. In Tulsa, videotape was released just a couple of days after Officer Betty SCOTT, See page 13B

Blacks Should Have Animals Rights

James Clingman

Turnabout is fair play.

Why can’t more of us see that economics is the key to our freedom and the answer to the problems we talk about all the time? This political year has and continues to bring this fact to light, but the Colin Kaepernick protest illuminates the issue of economics even more. Here is a guy who chose to exercise his right not to stand at the playing/ singing of the National Anthem, and as a result folks have called him everything, but a child of God. Folks who have burned the flag have not received the kind of treatment Kaepernick has garnered. Now, as other football players have joined in to do similar acts of protest, the real deal— economics—comes to the forefront.

Sponsors are exercising their rights to revoke their endorsements of these athletes. In other words, they are taking away their money in an effort to punish these players, the same thing they always do when a player says or does something they don’t like or agree with. It has happened to Black and White players alike.

Opinions abound on what the players should do now, and it’s amazing that some of us tell them to keep it up no matter how

Dr. John Warren The NBA has also refused to hold the All-Star game there.

That’s money talking and Black folks better take notice and start using our economic clout to get what we want.

Do you remember Craig Hodges, who played for the Chicago Bulls? He filed a federal lawsuit, against the NBA accusing the owners and operators of the NBA as co-conspirators in ”blackballing” him from the league because of his “outspoken political nature as an African-American man.”

When the Bulls championship team went to the White House after an invitation from President George H.W. Bush, Hodges wore a dashiki and handed the President a letter that asked him to do more to end injustice toward the African-American community. Sound familiar? ”It’s well known through the league that there may be repercussions if you speak out too strongly on some sensitive issues,” said Buck Williams, head of the players association at that time.

“I don’t know if Hodges lost his job because of it, but it PROTEST, See page 13B

It appears that the law enforcement officers of America have declared open season on African Americans, both male and female.

“Open Season” occurs in the hunting world when one is free to kill a particular species at “anytime” as opposed to “regulated hunting,” which provides certain times and seasons of hunting of specific species. Seasonal hunting requires permits and it appears that the police badge has become a permanent hunting permit.

The continued shooting of African American males, in particular, in spite of the fact that the number of such shootings in recent months and years have clearly shown deadly force was not necessary. The facts surrounding these shootings suggest that the “to protect and serve” slogan found on patrol cars no longer applies to the communities supposedly being served, but now only apply to the police themselves.

If African Americans and Blacks had animal rights, there would be serious penalties for shooting “out of season.” Clearly, we

are no longer considered human beings. The frequency and the conditions under which “unarmed” Black men are being shot suggest that maybe police training manuals have included language from the March 7, 1857, U. S. Supreme Court Decision in the Dred Scott case which held that in a “free” state where slavery was outlawed, a Black man was not entitled to his freedom and that an African American could never be a citizen of the United States.

The translation has been “A Black man has no rights that a White man is bound to respect.”

As farfetched as this might sound, clearly the continued police killing of African Americans under the same “quick shoot” circumstances suggest either a lack of awareness to the many blatant shootings of unarmed Black men, or an ideology so ingrained within law enforcement that all Black males are dangerous, that there is no concern for public reaction or perceptions.

If we were formally declared an “endangered

species” we would have more protection under the law than we are currently being given under police encounters of “any kind.”

As citizens of the United States, we are guaranteed “due process,” which includes a trial by a jury of our peers, and the right to confront our accusers with the burden of proof on the prosecution. Instant police shootings under the present “open season” policies applied around the country appear to have cancelled all these rights.

Law enforcement should remember that for every action, there is a reaction and all those cannot be controlled by force.

SHOOTING From page 1A shooting of the teenager put an end to a car and foot chase that police said began with a suspected stolen car being pursued by officers. Snell, armed with a gun, was one of two people to jump out of the vehicle after police attempted to pull it over because it had paper plates.

As of press time, Los Angeles police have not said why Snell was shot, but a handgun was recovered at the scene. The other person that jumped out of the car with Snell has not been found by police.

Snell’s death sparked a vigil and two nights of protests. Residents in South L.A. questioned why police did not just use a taser on Snell and why police had to kill another African-American man.

Two other black men – Reginald Thomas and Alfred Olango – were also killed by police last week.

Thomas, a father of eight, died on Sept. 30 after being tasered by police in Pasadena and Olangao, 38, died on Sept. 27 after being shot by police in El Canjon.

The both men’s deaths after 9-11 calls reported that the men were acting erratically.

The Ugandan-born Olango was unarmed when he was shot by El Cajon police officer Richard Gonsalves. Police responded to calls of a “mentally unstable” man walking in traffic. Police said Olango ignored commands to take his hand out of his pocket before pulling out an object later determined to be a vaping device used to inhale nicotine. Law enforcement said Olango assumed a “shooting stance” and pointed the device.

Thomas was tasered by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officers in Pasadena. Deputies responded to a call about a man with a knife at an apartment complex.

When police got to the scene, they confronted Thomas, but according to police he did not follow their commands as he attempted to reenter an occupied apartment.

Police used a taser on Thomas in an attempt to disarm him and a fight ensued. After restraining him, the same officers noticed Thomas was not breathing and began lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived.

Thomas died at the scene.

Olango’s and Thomas’ deaths ignited protests and rallies by activists in their areas.

At a rally and march held in response to Olango’s death last Saturday, Rev. Shane Harris of the National Action Network’s San Diego chapter told a mixed race and faith crowd 200 people there is an issue with how police interact with blacks and minorities.

“What happened to Alfred Olango shocked the world,” Harris said. “It shocked the world because Alfred not only represents what it is to be here in America, but Alfred represents a whole coalition of worldwide leaders that have seen what has happened here in America.”

Harris said Olango’s African heritage adds a different aspect to the police killings of black men that have swept the nation in recent years. The reverend said the whole world is watching how the justice system in the United States will handle Olango’s death. He questioned why police initially only released a photo of Olango’s confrontation with police and delayed showing the video to the public for five days.

“The way that this whole process has been handled is unfair and critical of his family and what Alfred represented,” Harris said. “We have to make it very clear that what we believe happened to Alfred Olango on that day was murder.”

Olango’s father, Richard Olango Abuka, vowed to fight on for justice for his son.

“We’re here praying for peace, but we can’t have peace if we don’t have the independence and freedom to pursue our goal of seeking justice for my son,” Olango Abuka said.

“Because when that officer pulled the trigger on my son, he declared war on humanity.”

Mourners protested near Pasadena City Hall and held a vigil for Thomas the night of his death. Gatherers held candles and held up signs that read “STOP KILLING US!!” and “Reginald Thomas Black Lives Matter.”

Also on Sept. 30, the Sacramento Police Department released dash camera video of two Sacramento police officers attempting to run with their police cruiser over Joseph Mann, 51, a mentally ill homeless man on July 11.

The footage, just over a minute long, shows officers Randy Lozoya and John Tennis direct their vehicle at a fleeing Mann twice mere seconds before they stopped the car, chased Mann on foot and shot him 14 times.

The video begins with the officers speeding down a roadway and one of the officers saying, “Fuck this guy.” Mann then darts in front of the oncoming cruiser and the driver says, “I’m going to hit him.” The other officer says “Go for it. Go for it.”

The officers aimed their vehicle toward Mann, backed up, turned and then drove toward him again.

Shortly after Lozoya and Tennis got out of the car and chased Mann.

Mann’s death and release of the video shocked and outraged members and leaders of Sacramento’s black community.

STEPHENSON From page 1A speaking to a church following the shooting of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge and protests thereafter.

He addressed the specific ways discrimination has impacted his life.

Friday

Stephenson passed many of them along.

“I will be honest with you, when I watched this video, I was really ashamed that this was all new information to me,” he said.

Later, Stephenson talks directly about Black Lives Matter and expresses his discontent with the All Lives Matter retort.

“When the president says ‘God Bless America,’ we don’t say, ‘Shouldn’t God bless all countries?’” he said.

He ended by saying that he wasn’t asking the group to be merely “tolerant” of each other.

“Tolerance is for cowards,” he said. “Being tolerant requires nothing from you but to be quiet and to not make waves, holding tightly to your views and judgments without being challenged. Do not tolerate each other. Work hard, move into uncomfortable territory and understand each other.”

According to AT&T’s 2015 report on Diversity and Inclusion, people of color comprise 43 percent of AT&T’s total workforce, including about 36 percent within management positions and 49 percent on the frontline.

TOUR From page 1A Ventura County began changing its approach to incarceration about a decade ago. The County realized locking up kids wasn’t good for the youth or the community. It began connecting young people with community-based organizations and services, rather than incarcerating them.

As a result, Ventura County now has an average of 80 to 100 youth incarcerated on any given day, a 60% drop from what it was a decade ago.

“It’s encouraging to see Ventura County moving away from a culture of punishment toward a culture of prevention,” said Kenneth Plummer, Evening Reporting Center Case Manager/Unit Director for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme. “When young people receive the support and services they need in the community, as opposed to a prison, they thrive.”

Studies show that incarceration doesn’t make youth less likely to reoffend. For some young people, incarceration increases the likelihood of re-offending. Youth who have been incarcerated are less likely to graduate high school and are more likely to suffer from depression.

Communities of color are disproportionately affected because youth of color are incarcerated the most.

The Oxnard Arts & Music Tour is one of several Southern California stops. The California Endowment and The California Wellness Foundation, in partnership with TIDAL, the global music and entertainment platform, are providing statewide support for the tour.

Local support for the #SchoolsNotPrisons tour and GULD conference is being provided by a coalition of community organizations, including Barrios Unidos, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme, City of Oxnard, Communities United For Restorative Youth Justice (CURYJ), Community Justice Network for Youth (CJNY), The Gathering for Justice, Homies Unidos, Justice League CA, La Hermandad Hank Lacayo Youth and Community Center, Oxnard College Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, Oxnard Police Activities League (PAL), Oxnard Police Department, Professional Community Intervention Training Institute (P.C.I.T.I.), Ventura County Office of Education, Ventura County Probation Agency, and Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation.

The festival will take place on October 8 at the Oxnard Police Activities League Teen Center, located at 350 South K Street in Oxnard.

The festival will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will feature art, food, music and community presentations. There will be performances by Immortal Technique, John Forté, Ceci Bastida, Buyepongo, Chino XL, Sound Effect, DJ Scratch, Nicko and CampaignRiico, along with local artists and special guests. All in attendance will be encouraged to vote and get involved in their communities.

The #SchoolsNotPrisons Tour will continue on October 9 with a stop in the Oxnard Juvenile Justice Complex. The event will include performances by Immortal Technique, Kimya Dawson, Chino XL, Mystic and Moxie Raia.

“It is long overdue that we invest more in the education of our youth and children than in the incarceration of our youth and children,” said Mystic.

The #SchoolsNotPrisons tour stop will lead into the upcoming October 13-15 Growing Up Locked Down (GULD) conference at Oxnard College. The conference, organized by The Gathering for Justice and Justice League California, is youth-driven and will bring together both local and national advocates to discuss how everyone can be a part of reforming the juvenile justice system.

“We need to remember that many of our young people have suffered from traumatic experiences in their homes and neighborhoods,” said Carmen Perez, Executive Director of The Gathering for Justice.

“They may feel like they can’t control their surroundings, but together we can provide our young people with the resources and support to take control of their lives and be a positive force in their communities.”

A primary focus of the #SchoolsNotPrisons tour is to increase peaceful activism and voting among California’s young people whose opportunities are being cut short by the overuse of punishment and overspending on jails and prisons.

OCTOBER 7, 2016

“Voting is how we tell our leaders what we value,” said Susana Covarrubias, a community member and GULD partner. “We need to make sure we are putting our dollars into health and education for our community, and not into putting our neighbors behind bars.”

The #SchoolsNotPrisons Arts and Music Festival will be a free, allages event that will include art, food and more. The event is free of drugs and alcohol. To attend the event, participants can RSVP at https://www. eventbrite.com/e/ schoolsnotprisonstour-oxnard- tickets-27618751429.

“Millions of our readers across the nation are once again outraged at the latest fatal incidents of police brutality in Tulsa and Charlotte.

These are not isolated incidents but [rather] a deadly national pattern of police violence and prosecutorial misconduct. A state of emergency now exists in Black America,” they said.

The NNPA has submitted four action items upon which they urge the aforementioned group of U.S. political leaders to immediately act. The list includes: appoint a special federal prosecutor on police brutality: establish a national police oversight commission on the use of deadly force, with training and cultural sensitivity; create a national police brutality and misconduct database accessible to the public; and establish tougher federal penalties for police officers and prosecutors who violate constitutional rights.

Rolark Barnes said their actions mirror those of Blacks from the past including Ida B. Wells, a reporter and activist, who lobbied U.S. leaders with vigor because of the brutal practice of lynching Blacks.

“We’re here again, like others before us, because we have grown tired of covering these stories of Blacks being shot and even killed by law enforcement officials,” she said. “Black men being arbitrarily stopped in our streets and in their cars have escalated. We have reached the point where we must say enough is enough.”

Smith said he has personal reasons for his concerns – his children.

“I have two sons and I have frequent talks with them about how to stay alive. The conversations I regularly have in my hometown of Memphis often address the fears of Black men who feel like they – like we – are under siege. The statistics confirm our fears. Driving, walking or even sitting while Black can be life threatening.

Chavis added that while American leaders have issued their condolences to the hundreds of families who have lost loved ones at the hands of police, nothing substantive has been done.

“There has been no change in the reality of Black Americans. We can no longer be silent nor can we allow external forces to divide us.

The publishers who are members of the NNPA intend to let our political leaders understand that we are disgusted and that those running for office must respond if they want our vote. At the same time, it seems that too many of our own people have gone to sleep on this issue. We plan to wake them up,” he said.

Two other activists from the District, Black Lives Matter D.C. spokesperson April Goggans and Richard Brown, a returning citizen often called upon to address the concerns of others like him who face similar forms of injustice and discrimination, also spoke during the press conference.

“Even here in D.C. we know that Blacks have been the victims in a long history of police brutality – from jump outs to questionable, if not illegal, raids,” Goggans said. “But no police officer who has killed a Black person in the District has ever been charged. Black lives matter in all aspects of life and it’s our duty to protect those lives while at the same time remembering the lost.”

In a statement issued several days after the press conference, Chavis stated the following.

“The NNPA is receiving numerous statements of endorsements of our declaration of a national police brutality state of emergency. We note the support of our four demands from the National Bar Association [NBA] and the Congressional Black Caucus. Millions of Black American families have been traumatized and hurt by the growing fatalities of Blacks at the violent hands of a system of law enforcement gone mad with racial hostility. The NNPA will continue to advocate for effective remedies,” Chavis said.

Kevin D. Judd, NBA president, said the members of his organization support the NNPA’s declaration and efforts.

“For years since Trayvon Martin, the NBA has mourned the deaths of all the folks killed by police while unarmed. We have people, lawyers and students, in places across the country like Charlotte, who are serving as protest monitors and pro bono attorneys – a practice that we will continue as long as it’s necessary. We are going to take all of the steps we can in terms of legal support to help stop this violence and to eradicate this state of emergency,” Judd said.

Attorney Benjamin Crump, president of the National Civil Rights Trial Lawyers Association, said “we have a moral obligation to do something in the face of all this injustice.”

“It all comes down to trust. But trust must be earned and it comes as a result of transparency and accountability. Without these essential items, our feelings of mistrust widen. Police must have body cameras on their persons and record their actions at all times. And there needs to be implicit bias training at least annually for all law enforcement officials. When police see people of color, they often stereotype and prejudge us and then act on those stereotypes. That’s why we continue to see so many people of color being shot.”

“One has to wonder why the New York bomber, the shooter in the Birmingham church and even the recent shooter in a D.C. mall were all taken alive while Black men whose cars have broken down or who have been involved in an automobile accident tend to wind up dead. We need prosecutors to value and represent black and brown lives with the same vigor that they’ve used to put our kids in jail,” said Crump, who represented the family of Trayvon Martin in the case against his killer, George Zimmerman, and who now represents the family of Terence Crutcher, the 40-year-old Black man recently shot and killed by Tulsa police officer Betty Shelby.

Meanwhile organizations who have long advocated for the rights of Blacks in America, including both the National Urban League and the NAACP in the form of their 10-Point Plan for Police Reform and Accountability, have recently issued a list of recommendations similar to those just released by the NNPA. Cornell Brooks, national president and CEO for the NAACP said his organization “commends and celebrates the Black press as it asserts its voice.”

“This is precisely the time to say we have reached a state of emergency but in truth, we all know that we have been in such a state for a long time,” Brooks said.

“Long before hashtags, videos and dash cams, the NAACP was working on this – even before the first viral video that featured the police beating of Rodney King,” he said. “During our last national convention our members agreed to support a ‘protect our lives’ pledge which among its items calls for the independent review of police officers involved in the shootings of citizens, the establishment of a data base and national standards that identify a minimum and maximum level of excessive use of force that can be employed by police.”

“We have also asked the Department of Justice to defund those police departments who insist on continuing discriminatory practices. It’s all about protest, going to the polls and establishing new policies. At the same time, we must bring millennials and those from Generation Z to the table too as they tend to doubt the

power of the vote.”

“Without question we support the efforts of the NNPA,” he said.

FORGIVENESS From page 2A them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you. There are a lot of bad things in life that are evil.

Not everything that happens in this world is God’s will, but that’s why we need God in our lives. So forgiveness isn’t forgetting what happened, it’s about finding what good came out of it. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.

I forgive. First, because I’ve been forgiven by God. Second, unforgiveness makes me miserable.

And third, I’m going to need more forgiveness in the future. We don’t forgive for their benefit. We actually forgive for ours. When you’ve experienced grace and you feel like you’ve been forgiven, you’re a lot more forgiving of other people.

You’re a lot more gracious to others.

BUSINESS From page 2A in the Federal Government. It was written during the tenure of Secretary Jack Kemp in response to the Watts Riot of 1965. It was then strengthened after the Rodney King Riot of 1992. However, for the most part, this job training program is ignored to the detriment of millions of poverty stricken persons. Billions of dollars are spent on HUD funded projects that require significant but low level labor. Residents living in HUD properties or low income communities can be trained with on the job work and become permanently employed. Many of these residents and low income persons can become entrepreneurs and further multiply employment. However, there hasn’t been an administration dedicated to this process. Thus, poverty goes on and that is a total disgrace. America needs a president who will enforce Section 3 of the HUD Act. 14. Capital Access: The Dodd – Frank Act has seriously limited the amount of capital available to small business especially minority business. The government should now place incentives that will encourage the banking industry to become more creative in improving the access levels for small business.

HUD can approve funding through its Community Development Block Grant program to enable towns, cities and counties to provide lending to local small businesses. JP Morgan Chase has introduced a small business program that could be emulated and enlarged.

15. Marketing and Publicizing Great Programs and Opportunities: Federal Agencies can improve implementing positive programs by utilizing the Black press network of the National Newspaper Publishing Association (NNPA). This will get the news and opportunities of the above programs to the grass roots of the Black population of America.

Tailored advertising will make mi-

nority businesses more aware of the opportunities that exist. This could drive more minority businesses to programs and offices of the Small Business Administration.

16. Small Business Goals in Federal Contracting: Each fiscal year goals are set for Small Business Contracting. However, there is never any follow-up announced. Are the goals aggressive and realistic or are they “pie in the sky? Goals should be set by the following criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable and Compatible = SMAC. The success or failure of the goals should be published and thoroughly explained.

CONFINE From page 2A things in the past that make you happy, you get the benefit of re-creating that vibrational energy now. Your body responds well to happy, positive thoughts. It actually functions better in a tension free environment.

Gina Bellin says, “The only way to deal with the future is to function efficiently in the now.” When you’re thinking the happy thoughts in the present, you are depositing into a future where you will receive more.

When you “confine” yourself, you set boundaries, limits and restrictions. When you “confine yourself to the present”, you decide what your priority is in the moment.

When limiting your actions to insure your priority is accomplished, you are more efficient and effective.

When you restrict your thoughts to what you want, you are able to create a sense of peace and serenity. And you can do that right now.

Your future self will benefit from what you do right now. Take the advice of a wise man from the past.

ACTIVISTS From page 4A Ali comments, “They shot this homeless man for nothing. He was unarmed and they killed him. I found out he was white later on. It doesn’t matter to me.”

But police say there is more to the story. They reportedly attempted to stop Bowers after they recognized him from previous interactions, and knew he was on probation for a narcotic violation. When he reportedly started to run, deputies followed him and eventually made contact with him. It was apparently at this time that the shooting occurred.

Bowers, who was struck by bullets in his upper body, was declared dead at the scene. Meanwhile, a Sheriff’s Department review and an inquiry by the District Attorney’s Office have already begun.

MONEY From page 5A break? There are mobile apps that will calculate how much money you can afford to save at a given moment – whether that's $20 or ten cents – and will save it for you. You could also set up an automatic weekly or monthly transfer to your savings account through your bank. Chances are you won't miss the money, and you won't spend it if you don't see it in your checking account.

Make a practice of saving for the future. You'll want to figure out the best way to use your savings. If you've taken out student loans, you could allocate some of the money to early loan payments.

Private and unsubsidized federal student loans accrue interest while you're in school. Making a payment can help you avoid increasing your debt load and save you money on interest. Plus, unlike with some other types of loans, there's no penalty for making early student loan payments.

News from the D.A. VENTURA - District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced that Superior Court Judge Ryan Wright sentenced Gregoria Mendoza, of Oak View, to seven years four months in state prison. Mendoza had previously pleaded guilty to multiple counts of felony grand theft and one count of felony foreclosure consultant fraud. She also admitted the aggravated white collar crime enhancement for taking more District Attorney Gregory D. Totten than $100,000 from multiple victims. The charges were the result of an investigation conducted by the District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Unit.

Mendoza created at least six separate real estate investment schemes to entice investors from Ventura, Los Angeles, and Tulare Counties. She made false representations that victims’ monies would be invested in various real estate endeavors. Mendoza deposited some of the victims’ proceeds into her own accounts and used these funds to pay her personal expenses. Total victim losses exceeded $470,000.

In addition to the prison sentence, Mendoza was ordered to pay over $470,000 in restitution to 10 of the victims defrauded in this case. The court appointed a receiver to liquidate three rental properties controlled

by Mendoza for purposes of victim restitution.

News from the

Ventura Fire Dept.

VENTURA -- Ventura City Fire personnel responded to a report of a trash truck on fire, parked in the street amidst a commercial district on Monday, September 26 at County Square Drive and Thille Street. The first arriving unit reported smoke and flames visible from the rear cargo area of the trash truck. It took two engines and one support company 60 minutes to completely extinguish and overhaul the fire, which required that the contents be dumped out of the truck and onto the street.

The unloaded trash material was ultimately removed by the waste management company who owned the truck, and the street area was cleaned up.

News from the

VC Sheriff’s Dept.

On September 8, Ventura County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the 8000 block of Roseland Avenue in Moorpark, reference Derek Conte being under the influence of a controlled substance, possibly selling narcotics, and having active warrants for his arrest. Deputies went to the residence and contacted Conte inside his bedroom. Conte showed signs and symptoms of being under the influence of a controlled substance. Deputies located over 250 Xanax pills, .58 grams of Methamphetamine and Heroin, and $580 dollars consisting of all 20 dollar bills. Deputies arrested Conte for being under the influence of a controlled substance and seized the Xanax pills, Methamphetamine, Heroin, and $580. The $580 dollars was seized, because it was believed to be the proceeds from illegal narcotics sales.

Deputies later determined the $580 to be counterfeit money. Detectives followed up with the US Secret Service and Ventura County Interagency Pharmaceutical Detectives in an attempt to determine the origin of the Xanax, Methamphetamine, Heroin, and counterfeit money. Conte was booked into the Ventura County jail in lieu of $15,000 bail. Conte posted bail on September 9 and was released from custody.

Between September 9 and September 12, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office received four reports of counterfeit $20 bills being passed at local businesses in Thousand Oaks. During that same time frame, there were two reports of counterfeit $20 bills being passed at local businesses in the city of Moorpark. All six incidents are still under investigation and it is unknown at this time if the counterfeit money seized during Conte's arrest is related.

On September 22, a search warrant was served at Conte's residence in the 8000 block of Roseland Avenue in Moorpark and an additional $2200 dollars, consisting of all counterfeit 20 dollar bills was seized. This counterfeit portion of the investigation is still on going. If you have any information reference Conte or counterfeit U.S. currency, please contact Detective Eisenhard.

¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara! Rubicon Theatre Company Presents Yolotecuani Presents the Final Event of the

Yolotecuani

¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara! presents the local premier of Yolotecuani, music and dance of Tixtla, from the state of Guerrero, Mexico. Yolotecuani offer free family concerts on Friday, October 21, 7 pm at Isla Vista School; on Saturday, October 22, 7 pm, at Guadalupe City Hall, and on Sunday, October 23, 7 pm, at The Marjorie Luke Theatre in Santa Barbara. Yolotecuani will also make a guest appearance at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s Día de Los Muertos celebration on Sunday, October 23, at 2 pm; and offer a chance to learn this distinctive tradition in a free workshop, co-presented with the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, on Thursday, October 20, 7 pm, at Casa de La Guerra.

The word “Yolotecuani” means “the heart of the tiger” in Nahautl, a group of languages spoken in central Mexico for centuries before the Spanish conquest and still spoken today by more than a million people. Founded in 1986, the group is led by a family of three: David Peñaloza, Isabel Coronel, and their son Osvaldo Peñaloza; joined by Ulises Martínez and César Martinez, as well as two dancers: Tamara Mazón and Gregorio Cortéz.

Yolotecuani’s sound features the harp, played by David Peñaloza, vihuelas, which are string instruments common in mariachi music, and cajon, the popular box drum that has migrated throughout Latin America from Peru. As in much of Mexico, dancers contribute to this Guerre-

rense music with rhythmical combinations on the tarima, a wooden box or dance floor.

Yolotecuani’ s performance is based on study and practice of fandango traditions of Tixtla in central Guerrero – music and dance for social occasions that include weddings, baptisms, birthdays and other family or neighborhood celebration. The lyrics often talk of nature and animals with titles like The Iguana, The Little Vulture, or The Owl; and the dances playfully mimic the moves and gestures of the animal subjects.

The members of Yolotecuani have performed widely in Mexico with visits to Chicago and Lincoln Center in New York. They have four recordings and have participated in four anthologies.

Yolotecuani has participated in projects with Lila Downs, Horacio Franco, and Jordi Savall with Hesperion XXI. Isla Vista School is located at 6875 El Colegio Road, in Isla Vista.

Broadway Musical Concert Series

Jason Graae

Ventura – The 201516 Janet and Mark L. Goldenson Broadway Musical Concert Series at Rubicon Theatre Company concluded with a concert presentation of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Merrily We Roll Along. Winner of the Drama Desk Award and Olivier Award for Best Musical, this moving and eloquent story about friendship moves backwards in time and offers a snapshot of the relationships between three characters whose hopes and dreams change dramatically over 20 years. The exquisite contemporary score includes "Our Time,” "Not a Day Goes By" and "Good Thing Going.” Rubicon’s concert reading was directed by Bonnie Hellman, who helmed the acclaimed long-run Los Angeles premiere of the show.

Dean Mora was Musical Director and accompanist. The cast included Broadway stars Jason Graae (Grand Night

Beverly Ward

Andrew Samonsky

for Singing and Falsettos), Kate Reinders (Something’s Rotten and Wicked), Ventura native Andrew Samonsky (South Pacific and Drood) and Beverly Ward (Epic Proportions). This rarely performed concert was held on Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2.

Merrily We Roll Along begins in 1976, where we meet Franklin Shepard (Samonsky), an influential movie producer and former composer at the height of a successful career. As the story takes us backwards in time, we see the cost of that success, especially as relates to his idealism and his relationship with friends Charley Kringas (Graae) and Mary Flynn (Ward). The plot gradually moves us to the poignant moment in 1957 when the three meet on a rooftop in New York City -- naïve, hopeful dreamers on the cusp of bright futures.

Merrily We Roll Along opened on Broadway in 1981

under the direction of Hal Prince. The book was adapted

by George Furth based on the 1934 play of the same name by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Stephen Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics.

Although the music and lyrics were praised, the initial production received mixed reviews. Some considered the piece ahead of its time. Others felt the plot was too complex and took issue with the choice to cast young actors, feeling that they were more believable at the end of the play/beginning of the story than in the opening scenes. The production ran for only 52 previews and 16 performances at the Alvin Theatre.

Performances of the Merrily We Roll Along concert took place at Rubicon Theatre in Ventura’s Downtown Cultural District. For more information, call (805) 6672900, or go to www.rubicontheatre.org.

The Troupe does not perform silent mime, but each year creates an original musical comedy that

combines melodrama, farce and Commedia dell’Arte, always with a topical political theme.

Camarillo — CSU Channel Islands (CI) Performing Arts students and two members of the awardwinning San Francisco Mime Troupe conducted an interactive lecture/performance satirizing the politics of 2016 along with political shenanigans from years past.

The public was welcome to watch Mime Troupe members Hugo Carbajal and Lisa Hori-Garcia joined upper division Performing Arts students as they present “57 Years of Political Theater” Thursday, Sept.

29 at Malibu Hall 140 on the CI campus.

The title, which is derived from the political satire troupe’s 57 years in existence, encompasses a presentation of information, scenes and new material from past, present and future moments in U.S. politics.

The Troupe incorporates a form of theater called “Commedia dell’arte,” which began in 16th century Italy and spread throughout Europe.

SIMI VALLEY -- The County of Ventura is exploring Community Choice Energy to bring local control to energy purchasing and pricing options. The research is a joint effort with the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and a number of cities in the region.

Community Choice Energy allows the community to determine what type of energy mix and programs it needs.

The program enables local governments to leverage the purchasing power of their residents, businesses and governmental entities to purchase or generate power for their communities. It also gives communities greater choice to purchase their energy from green or renewable sources to help the environment while keeping rates competitive.

An advisory working group comprised of representatives from the three counties and the cities of Camarillo, Carpinteria, Moorpark, Ojai, Santa Barbara, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Ventura is overseeing a feasibility study. A website – www.CentralCoastPower.org– has been developed to keep the public informed of the progress and how CCE may affect area homes and businesses.

Community Choice Energy is a new, but tested, model for providing electricity. Existing CCE programs across the state offer electricity with a higher renewable energy content, in some cases from local solar and other renewable energy projects, while keeping electricity rates on par with the existing utilities.

All 27 eligible jurisdictions in the tri-county region are included in the study that will help determine whether CCE is appropriate for the region. The results of the study are expected to be presented in early 2017, when a decision about whether to move forward with a local or regional CCE program would be made by each city and county.

Dangerous Monsanto Chemical Remains in 1000s of Schools – including CA

WASHINGTON – Up to 14 million students in 26,000 U.S. schools could be exposed to unsafe levels of a notorious class of chemicals banned almost 40 years ago, according to a recent study by scientists at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

The chemicals, known as PCBs, are leaching from caulking, sealants, and other aging building materials and fixtures. In a report released Wednesday, Oct. 5, Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., analyzed the Harvard findings and calculated that up to 30 percent MONSANTO, See page 13B

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

MALKIEWICZ AKA MARY EILEEN MALKIEWICZ; MARY MALKIEWICZ. A Petition for Probate has been filed by ALAN M. MALKIEWICZ in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that ALAN M. MALKIEWICZ 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: October 26, 2016 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036, Juvenile Justice Center.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objec-

tions 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 petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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: October 26, 2016 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J-6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Center - Probate.

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.

AKA ROBERTA Z. FENNEY. A Petition for Probate has been filed by JACQUELINE FENNEY-JABLONSKI in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that JACQUELINE FENNEY-JABLONSKI 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: 10/27/2016 at Time: 9:00 am in Dept.: J6 in Room: N/A located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Oxnard Juvenile Courthouse.

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 $414,444.49 (Estimated).

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 consid-

Page 5B

ering 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, CA0800166716-1. 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.

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 888988-6736 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-14-650158RY . 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. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ANNE GRAFFY in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ANNE GRAFFY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act with limited authority. (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 in this court as follows: 10/27/16 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.

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.

RUSH 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 inter-

ested 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: October 19, 2016 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036, Juvenile Justice Center.

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.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal

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 (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com, using the file number assigned to this case 16-42871.

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.

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 prop-

erty, you may call 888988-6736 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-14-650142RY . 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. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

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 (800) 758 -

8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 044320-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO 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 (714) 848-9272 or

visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com, using the file number assigned to this case 16-42992.

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 PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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 Nov. 10, 2016 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard, 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.

MISTAKES, From page 9A Make your care safer If possible, choose a hospital that has converted to electronic medical records, which have been shown to improve patient safety, in part by making it easier to track and analyze safety metrics. It has also been shown that patients with easier access to their own records (which digitizing allows) tend to have better outcomes.

SILICON, From page 11A But, what’s to stop information relevant to particular demographics — such as the Black community — from being marginalized? Perhaps more than ever before, these individuals are at the mercy of a media monolith, likely without knowing it.

Companies like Facebook have been no better on another matter of concern to us: Its hiring practices. Again, there is a gross absence of persons of color at the key decision-making levels of executive management and accountability.

Silicon Valley has come under criticism for being far too White. Up until recently, African-Americans made up no more than one percent of technical employees at Google, Facebook, and other prominent Silicon Valley companies —a shockingly low statistic. According to a profile in Bloomberg Businessweek, Silicon Valley had no idea how to begin reaching out to this demographic, boasting to African-American coders “about having on-site playground equipment and volleyball courts,” rather than job potential or diversity initiatives.

The hiring practices and the potential for media bias are consequential problems. It’s time that the tech titans of Silicon Valley put the excuses aside, and to understand that a lack of diversity in STEM careers breeds fundamentally negative outcomes, that continue to permeate business, culture and the media.

Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. is the President and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA).

SCOTT, From page 11A Shelby shot Terence Crutcher. Not a week had passed before the officer was charged with first-degree manslaughter, based on what prosecutors saw on the tapes. People in Tulsa have been outraged, but peaceful. People in Charlotte feel outraged, but also hurt and betrayed.

It is interesting that Rakeyia Scott keeps telling the police that her husband has no weapon, even as the police keep insisting that he drop the gun. Is this a set up? An Amadou Diallo moment (when a wallet was mistaken for a gun)? Something else. There is a compelling reason to release all, not just snippets, of the tape of Kevin Scott’s killing. It is an opportunity to build trust and to show that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police have nothing to hide from those they are sworn to “serve and protect”.

PROTEST, From page 11A is a burden when you carry the militant label he has.”

Ironically and unfairly, during that same period, stars like Dennis Rodman and Charles Barkley, both known for doing outrageous things, were tolerated and even celebrated. Craig Hodges stood on his beliefs as did Denver Nuggets star, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, formerly known as Chris Jackson, who was probably second only to Michael Jordan on the offensive end of the basketball court.

Long before Kaepernick, Abdul-Rauf refused to stand for the National Anthem, and when he did, he prayed. This outstanding NBA player converted to Islam and soon after his conversion his NBA career came to a screeching halt. Both Hodges and Abdul-Rauf were vilified and sanctioned by the NBA for having the courage to stay true to their social, religious, and ethical convictions. Unfortunately, they stood alone for the most part. Their teammates and even the great Elgin Baylor turned their backs on him. I call that cowardly.

If just half of the Black players in the NBA and the NFL would do as the University of Missouri players did, refuse to play just two games back to back, they would change those leagues. Money rules. Of course, it takes sacrifice, but isn’t it worth it? Hodges and AbdulRauf did, and they lost a great deal for their willingness to take a stand. They stood alone; a critical mass of Black athletes, standing together can win.

DELTA, From page 14A Chapter has served Ventura County since 1980, promoting social action, encouraging community profile elevation, sponsoring events and activities that uplift the arts and entertainment industry, and providing scholarships to young people throughout the community by giving them a safe haven to grow and mature through programs such as the Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy and the Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS program. The chapter plays a pivotal role in the educational movement in the community by inspiring, motivating and supporting the aspirations of youth and young adults through its programs.

The Prayer Breakfast is no ordinary fundraiser. Businesses, nonprofit organizations professional educators, families, and church, government, and community leaders annually gather to celebrate unity and to pray for those serving and working in our communities. This year the program began by an instrumental rendition of “Amazing Grace” played by Fundi Legohn on the French horn. Then, all in attendance witnessed the praises sung by the VCAC Victorious Vocalists composed of several members of the Ventura County Alumnae Chapter: Dr. Angela Timmons, Toni Johnson, Sandy Brooks, Marvis Graves and Chandra Bradley. Dr. Emma Waits of Evangel Christian Fellowship opened the program by delivering the Invocation and Scripture Reading, and the program was closed out by inspirational music being played by Courtney Russ, both members of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. For the past few years, Ventura County Alumnae Chapter has had prayer warriors present several prayers, and this year was no different. This year for the 7th annual breakfast the chapter requested the prayer warriors to deliver seven prayers of coverage. Rev. Dr. Clyde W. Oden, Jr. of Bethel Oxnard AME prayed the prayer for Spirituality; Mr. Rashied Aljuwani and Mrs. Geraldine Aljuwani of Simi Valley Second Missionary Baptist Church prayed for those in the Arts & Entertainment; Evangelist Jessie Bibb of Sharing Deliverance Ministry prayed for Education; Rev. Si’Derek Ross of St. Paul Baptist Church prayed for our Government and also participated as a psalmist on program; Marvin L. McKenzie of Bethel Oxnard AME prayed for the Media; Toni Johnson of VCAC prayed for the Economics; and Rev. Jeff Clark & Mrs. Le’Shune Clark of St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church led attendees in a prayer for the Family. To summarize the program, Dr. Angela Timmons, VCAC Chaplain, led the audience in the collected Prayer Requests prayer and Benediction.

The program was further enhanced by poetry and recited prayers delivered by Ventura County Alumnae Chapter members Helaine Stallion and Raye Keene. The Simi Valley Second Missionary Baptist Church Youth Praise Dancers, Angels of Praise, returned and performed yet another powerful praise dance that elevated the attendees into the heavenly realm of pure worship.

The Prayer Breakfast also gave attendees an opportunity to shop and collect information from various vendors. Companies in attendance were Premier Designs, A Village Product, Butterfly Jonez, Lion’s Reality Group, Jessie Bibb Ministry, Darlene’s Handbags & Accessories, Fashion Statements by Debby, 4 The Body, Hope in Hearts, Tracy Lynn Jewelry, and Divine Fashions.

Attendees left this year’s prayer breakfast filled by the Power of Prayer. “There was a sweet, receptive spirit in the place, and it was evident that God was omnipresent,” said Marsha Wylie, President of the Ventura County Alumnae Chapter.

According to EPA data obtained by Markey’s office, which was also analyzed by EWG, in the last decade the EPA has received 286 reports of potential PCB contamination of school buildings in 20 states. These incidents ranged from the removal of a single fluorescent light fixture to large-scale remediation undertaken by some of the nation’s largest school districts.

PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, have been linked to cancer, harm to the immune system, neurological damage, learning deficits, lowered birth weight and decreased thyroid function. Manufactured from the 1920s to the 1970s by Monsanto, PCBs were used as insulators for electrical equipment, oils for hydraulic systems, plasticizers in paints and caulks, components of fluorescent light fixtures and in consumer products such as carbonless copy paper. Not long after Monsanto introduced PCBs, the company discovered they were hazardous, but hid that information from the public and regulators.

Schoolchildren are most often exposed by old, PCB-laden caulk and crumbling fluorescent light fixtures. They may also come in contact with PCBs that leached into soil, or that were incorporated into paints and floor finishes. Any school building constructed between the 1950s and the late 1970s is likely to test positive for PCBs, but the EPA does not currently require such tests.

“PCBs are some of the most toxic and persistent chemicals ever produced,” said Ken Cook, president of EWG, which in a 2005 study found 147 different PCB contaminants in the umbilical cord blood of 10 American newborns. “It’s shocking to find that while they were banned decades ago, millions of kids and other Americans continue to be exposed today.”

Districts grappling with PCBs include the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District in Southern California. In response to a lawsuit by the citizens’ group America Unites for Kids, last month a federal judge ordered all PCBs removed from two Malibu schools by 2019.

“The reports by Sen. Markey, EWG and America Unites for Kids confirm what I and many other parents around the country have worried and warned about for years,” said supermodel and spokesperson for the non-profit America Unites for Kids, Cindy Crawford, whose concerns prompted her to pull her two children from Malibu High School.

“Millions of our students are likely spending significant hours each week inside classrooms that expose them to extremely toxic chemicals that could cause serious health problems for them,” Crawford said. “Unfortunately, as these findings show and by our own personal experience in Malibu, the government agencies have very little information or answers for parents and teachers. Schools and classrooms should be healthy places where our kids are safe and able to flourish, not environments that could put them at risk.”

Jennifer deNicola, president of America Unites for Kids, said Markey’s report should be a wake-up call to Congress, the EPA and parents nationwide.

“This is absolutely outrageous,” she said, “and no parent or educator should stand for it.

Our government, which requires that children attend school, should also ensure they’re in schools and classrooms free from toxic chemicals like PCBs.” Dr. Robert Herrick, primary author of the Harvard study, stated: This data demonstrates that PCBs in schools are a national problem. And while the scope of the problem remains poorly characterized, it is clear that where people look for PCBs in schools, they are very likely to find them. The effect of these PCBs on the health of people in these buildings has never been studied, but given the evidence that PCBs cause cancer, and reproductive and developmental problems, it is essential that this source of PCB exposure be eliminated from our schools.
