campaign tactic, but after learning of the appointment of Stephen Bannon — a prominent leader in the white nationalist and alt-right movements — as a senior counselor to the president, my darkest fears about the man who will soon lead our country were strongly reaffirmed.

"Stephen Bannon has no place in the White House and his racist views have no place in our society. Put simply, he is a hate peddler, and the Breitbart News Network he manages is nothing more than a well of depravity masquerading as journalism. His appointment — one of Presidentelect Trump’s first official acts — is not only mortifying, but also a stark reminder of how far our country has to go in quelling hate both inside and outside the halls of government."

City of Oxnard awarded

$4.1 million judgment to go towards street improvements

OXNARD, Calif.–The Superior Court of California for the County of Ventura awarded a $4.1 million judgment on Sept. 26, 2016, to the City of Oxnard following a dispute between the City and Southern California Gas Company over the costs of relocating gas lines for the Rice Avenue/Santa Clara Avenue Interchange Improvement project that was completed in 2012.

The Superior Court judgment comes after the California Court of Appeals for the 2nd District in January 2016 reversed the Superior Court’s original 2014 ruling to dismiss the City’s lawsuit to recover the costs it paid to Southern California Gas Company to relocate the gas lines so that

“This is a big win for the Oxnard community,” said Oxnard Public Works Director Dan Rydberg. “We’re pleased to be able to use these funds for critical street repairs that will greatly enhance the quality of life for our residents,” he said.

Oxnard City Attorney Stephen Fischer thanked the City’s project manager Cynthia Daniels for her diligence in documenting project costs, which facilitated the full recovery of the relocation expenses and the City Council’s decision to pursue the appeal.

“I would also like to thank the City’s litigation counsel, Holly Whatley of Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley for her excellent work in obtaining a judgment completely in the City’s favor,” Fischer added.

WASHINGTON, DC - This fall, AARP is encouraging Medicare beneficiaries to read their annual Notice of Change and to review their health and prescription drug plan options for 2017 during Medicare Open Enrollment (October 15th - December 7th).

Given the trend in high prescription medication prices, consumers are advised to pay close attention to their Medicare Part D drug plan options to help save money.

Medicare plans often change their cost-sharing and coverage benefits every year. However, insurers must notify all their enroll-

ees of any plan changes for the coming year before the end of September. AARP strongly recommends that people read these Notices of Change carefully, compare their current plan with other available plans, and change to a different plan during open enrollment if it better meets their current needs. People satisfied with their current coverage do not need to do anything because reenrollment will occur automatically.

"The out-of-pocket copay amounts that people are paying for their prescription drugs are going up MEDICARE, See page 12A

Voices and View Points Look fear in the eye and rebuke it. Never surrender or apologize for these things!

Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. (Isaiah 43:1) Every leader must learn to look fear in the eye and rebuke it. The Apostle Paul, the great church planter, reminded Timothy, the young lead pastor: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (II Tim. 1:7) Here are six things that every leader should always remember.

Being the “keeper of the vision” for a church, business, organization, or a family is sometimes a difficult task. It is amazing how many people will try to attack you for no good reason. The old saying goes, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

This is very true when it comes to being a leader.

1. Never Apologize for Dreaming Big. We have a HUGE GOD who can do things that are

absolutely MIND BLOWING. If we focus on HIS POWER rather than our limitations, we will always be willing to hear what He says and then do it… even though we do not have all of our questions answered.

2. Never Apologize for Your Passion.

I once had a guy tell me, “Pastor, I think you would be more effective as a leader/ communicator if you would just calm down a little.”

Here’s the problem… I can’t!

Jeremiah 20:9 is my verse.

Jesus began a fire inside of me when I was 17 years old and it has only gotten hotter.

You can be consumed with passion or be content with being passive. One, Jesus will use to change the world and the other, the enemy will use to dull your soul.

3. Never Apologize for Wanting to Lead.

If you are called by God and gifted by God to lead … THEN LEAD! Here’s the deal … someone is going to make the decisions.

Someone is going to call the shots … and if that is the call that God has put on your life, then DO IT! By the way … when you do this, it IS going to make people mad. AND … if you can’t handle the fact that people ARE going to hate you simply because you try your best…then you may Paid Advertisement

not be called to lead!

4. Never Apologize for Expecting the Best from Others Leaders cannot be afraid to set high standards...

EVER! I believe it is WRONG to expect perfection from others as we are all humans, we screw up!

However, it isn’t wrong to expect others to give their best. By the way, MOST of the time if people see the leader giving their best, it will inspire them to do the same!

5. NeverApologize for Wanting to Reach More People.

From time to time, people will take a shot at me for wanting to see more people come to church. I AM GUILTY AS CHARGED! I can’t help it. I want as many people as possible to hear about it! I want as many people as possible to have their lives changed. I want as many people as possible to have victory. Don’t EVER apologize for embracing the fact that God has called us to RECONCILE (not REVILE) the world! (II Corinthians 5:16-21) 6. Never Apologize for Saying “No” to What You KNOW You Need to Say “No” To. One of the biggest frustrations I’ve ever had as a leader is when I commit “sins of obligation”. You know, when I do something FEAR, See page 12A

2016 Election -What Happened Along the Way Beyond the Rhetoric

Harry C. Alford

By Harry C. Alford Oh! Yes, it seemed to have shocked them by the millions. The Obama “Mojo” is no longer good.

The young light skinned skinny guy with the Muslim name is becoming a “memory” now. He did not have to make it so. But for some reason he wanted to get in this 2016 presidential election. He pled to people who were admiring him as something spiritual. But he was certainly not spiritual. He was Obama! The first Black president of the United States. That historical event crept up on us and to the millions of Americans who idolized the very thought of his existence he must never go away. He would go to foreign nations and hundreds of thousands of people would come out just to hear his voice. It didn’t matter what he was saying; just that he was saying it to them. Many could not understand English but they knew he had African blood

and that was good enough.

In Kenya, teens would line up to buy the soft drink, “OBAMA – The President’s Drink!” It lasted for a while but the reality of him being a mere human being started to sink in on all the temporary idol worshipers, slowly but surely. The few African Americans that study political leaders seemed to give him a pass at each social incident. He didn’t take his family to worship anymore. Before he was attending a “sure enough” Black church on the south side of Chicago. I can’t over emphasize the historical highlight of his becoming an American President. In Nairobi, Kenya there was a wellestablished political joke: “A Luo (a secondary Tribe in Kenya) will become president of the United States before a Luo will be President of Kenya”. That joke is no longer funny.

At first not only would 98% of Blacks support President Obama on any issue, they would consider dying for him just to get his point across. But as his Saul Alinsky style of politics became evident, more and more who idolized him became fewer and fewer.

President Obama was a nouveau radical. That is not real Americana but somehow he managed to keep the admiration of progressives and radicals at the same time while not of-

fending mainstream America. I remember him throwing out the “traditional first pitch” at a major league all-star game. It was so awful and I thought to myself: “This guy has never played baseball. That is so strange and not real Americana”.

One thing I noticed about our President – he has thin skin. He gets very upset when people criticize him about anything. Not too long ago, the Congressional Black Caucus requested a meeting with him to talk about some hiring issues.

He later lambasted them at the following Congressional Black Caucus annual event.

“Stop complaining!” He screamed at them. Too sensitive to be a prudent judge nor a level headed political official. All the charismatic descriptions that he once held were fading away.

The 2016 election was more than party loyalty to our President; it would be the protection of his legacy. If the Democratic Party were to lose, it would be on him. So, he made a dangerous decision: He would actively join the Clintons in their quest for the presidency. It was a terrible mistake.

Most of us have had enough with the Clintons – especially Hillary. He was going to embrace all their funky baggage for him to say nice things about them. The ELECTION, See page 12A

Direct the Dream

The Mind Matters

By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC Even if you don’t play golf, you have probably heard of Jack Nicklaus. Jack Nicklaus is a professional golfer, nicknamed The Golden Bear. He is widely regarded as the greatest golfer of all time, having won a total of 18 major championships during the past 25 years.

And even if you don’t play golf, you can benefit from one of the techniques Jack Nicklaus used to become such a great golfer.

Obviously Nicklaus has certain athletic abilities which he has refined and developed. He has done the physical work to become great.

He has also done the mental work. Not only has he used his subconscious mind to stay focused and visualize the desired outcome, he has used his subconscious as a sports clinic. There is

a story told about a dream he had when he was not performing well. When he analyzed the dream he figured out why his game was off. He had a dream that he was really owning the links; playing better than he had in a long while. After analysis, the champ realized that in the dream, he was gripping his club differently than he was doing in real life. He said, “I tried it the way I did in my dream and it worked.

I feel kind of foolish admitting it, but it really happened in a dream.”

Your subconscious mind knows more than your conscious mind. You can trust it to guide and direct you. Besides, it’s going to do it even if you don’t trust it! Your subconscious mind is the 88% of your mind that is directing your motivation and behavior.

It is also your goal-achieving machine. Your subconscious

mind speaks to you in images. You can also speak to and direct your subconscious mind through images.

How to Procrastinate Successfully Aspects Galore

Sue Hines

By Sue Hines Procrastinating is irrationally delaying something you ought or think you want to do, so I’ve coined the word “usurponating” for everything we actually do while procrastinating.

Seeing as I made up the word, I can define what it covers.

“Usurponating” –This is the activity or activities you do while you are procrastinating.

It’s what you do instead of what you ought or want to be doing.

There are 3 basic ways to usurponate: 1. Do something useful instead of doing whatever it is you are procrastinating over.

2. Self-sabotage with selfcriticism and negative selftalk, overeat or drink, or simply waste the little time one has on this earth.

3. Undermine or interfere with others as a way of rebelling or of deflecting responsibility.

Only the first is intrinsically helpful.

Given that procrastinating is already self-defeating, there’s no need to doubledown on it. I want you to get some real value out of your procrastination, so let’s look at how one might cultivate useful usurponation (and yet still get to procrastinate!)

If you’re stalling until the last minute to do something, you may as well not pretend to be doing it. Distract yourself completely

and with purpose!

Here are some ideas for some productive or meaningful usurponation that won’t interfere with your procrastination. There’s something magical in the number 9, so let’s call it the 9-fold path to satisfying procrastination: 1. Daydream. Spend time creating a wonderful and different reality that suits you better than this one. You can even go all out and build a vision-board. For this to be good usurponation, make sure it is a positive vision – something that makes you smile, lifts your heart, or gets you excited about who you are and what life is all about.

This is invoking the quality of Intuition and serves to reaffirm your individuality.

2. Do important stuff.

Fill your day with as many productive activities as you can – anything and everything that is “necessary” or

did one presidential candidate (Hillary) win a majority of popular votes and the other candidate (Trump) seem to steal the election?

The culprit is not the Electoral College itself. No, rather, our stumbling arises out of the All-or-Nothing approach we take when we tally the popular votes and convert them into Electoral Votes suitable for the Electoral College result. That step in the process (not the

Electoral College!) needs to be replaced.

The popular vote is currently a strong consideration by those criticizing the Electoral College. The thinking is that if we simply count the votes across the nation and go with the upor-down consensus of the governed, that result should rule the day. Simple?

Actually, we’re a large nation with much diversity VOTES, See page 12A

Votes Matter

The 2016 presidential election is behind us and many have taken to the streets in protest, some have attended special church services, some have simply reached out to family and friends to share their anguish. Meanwhile, their counterparts have enjoyed a surprise victory and are elated to learn their candidate has emerged victorious in spite of dire predictions and rebuke. The upshot is that criticism of the Electoral College by both sides has become the bold new national criticism. Surely it’s antiquated. Surely it must go. Surely we can do better.

And we can!

I must quickly point out that the Founding Fathers were not so terribly amiss as many may think. Sure, we’re a much larger expanse of nation, geography-wise, and we’re immensely more populated than the late 1800’s.

But the Electoral College mechanism works. So why

“I feel that going to the cemetery on Veteran’s Day gives people a place to go. It has a calm, serene atmosphere where you can have a few minutes of quietness to reflect on the veterans that fought and risked their lives for a free and better country.”

“We should do everything we can to celebrate our veterans. For the sacrifices they made, dedicating one day for them is a good idea that should be continued. We should explain it to our children too!”

“Where ever you look, you see nothing but flags flying in the wind, like in front of Pepperdine College.”

“We celebrate their memory by being with our family and having a barbeque.”

“We celebrate the holiday by picnicking with loved ones.”

“It is best celebrated when we acknowledge the lives that the men and women lost, to keep us safe. They honored our country, so it is in all due respect that we hang our flags to show them as much love and honor as they showed us.”

To all Republicans and Democrats and Independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It is time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.

We are writing to accept your offer to work with you to help ensure the future success of our nation. Specifically, we would like to work with you to identify strong candidates of color for federal appointments.

We represent the Black Talent Initiative and the Latino Talent Initiative. Collectively, we represent a consortium of 36 African American organizations and 40 Latino organizations from around the nation. One key goal we share is to increase racial diversity in federal appointments.

Federal appointments are important to all Americans. The White House appoints over 6,000 positions, of which about 1,600 are senior appointments.

Collectively, these appointees manage over 2 million personnel, oversee budgets totaling over $3.5 trillion, and help set the policy agenda for our nation.

Historically, diversity in appointments has been a challenge. While African Americans and Latinos account for 30 percent of the population of the United States, TRUMP, See page 12A

State News AG Harris Announces Criminal U.S. Reps. Smith, Waters Mark Charges Against Mary Brooks for National Alzheimer’s Disease

Exploiting and Defrauding Immigrants

SACRAMENTO – Attorney General Kamala D. Harris announced felony charges against former attorney Mary Brooks for defrauding immigrant clients seeking citizenship. According to the complaint filed in San Joaquin County Superior Court, Brooks stole over $100,000 from at least 14 different clients, promising services she never performed.

“We must be vigilant against predators, including unscrupulous lawyers and immigration consultants, who take advantage of immigrants, then use scare tactics to prevent them from reporting these crimes,” said Attorney General Harris. “Those who exploit and defraud hardworking immigrants trying to navigate a complex system are despicable, outrageous and will be held accountable.”

According to the arrest affidavit, Brooks met with clients for an initial consultation, demanded a lump sum of money, or allowed them to make payments,

while assuring them she was working on their cases. The investigation revealed that she had not assisted the victims, which in some cases, had dire consequences. She repeatedly misled victims about the status of their cases and lied about paperwork she had submitted, while continuing to collect their money. Brooks also allegedly falsified documents in order to continue to scam her clients and used scare

tactics to discourage victims from terminating her services. At one point, she threatened to inform immigration authorities about her client’s location and immigration status. Brooks also directed her employees to lie to clients about the submission of documents to the court that were never actually sent.

Brooks was a member of the Kansas State Bar, but because she was practicing immigration law, she took on California clients. According to the arrest affidavit, this led to losses for her clients in the State of California. Eventually, dozens of victims filed complaints, leading to the defendant surrendering her law license and being disbarred by the Kansas State Bar in 2015. However, even after being disbarred, Brooks continued to collect money from victims.

Any victims who feel they were defrauded by Brooks should call the Attorney General's office at 916-322-2686.

Sacramento – Starting on January 1, 2017, sellers of electronic cigarettes (eCigarettes), vaping devices, and other related products will be required to obtain a Cigarette and Tobacco Products Retailer’s License from the California State Board of Equalization (BOE). This license must be obtained prior to making retail sales of these products to consumers. It will cost $265 for a 12-month period, and must be renewed annu-

ally at this cost.

In accordance with Senate Bill x2 5, products requiring licensing will now include: any product containing, made, or derived from nicotine; any electronic smoking or vaping device that delivers nicotine or other vaporized liquids to the person inhaling from the device; and any component, part, or accessory, even if it’s sold separately.

Sellers of eCigarettes,

vaping devices and other related products should also have a California Seller’s Permit. Retailers can register for the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Retailer’s License online at www.boe.ca.gov.

Beginning January 1, 2017, anyone found selling or gifting any of these products without obtaining a valid license is in violation of the law and subject to a misdemeanor citation and seizure of inventory.

Awareness Month

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Maxine Waters (D-CA), House CoChairs of the Bipartisan, Bicameral Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease, thanked the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) for hosting free, confidential memory screenings and praised them for increasing the duration to throughout National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month in November.

“The screenings offered by the AFA are incredibly important in helping our seniors make healthcare decisions,” said Smith.

“We will continue our effective collaboration between the Alzheimer’s Task Force and the AFA as this working relationship has been key in raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, helping to eliminate the stigma with which they are all too often associated and providing needed resources to hundreds of thousands annually.”

“National Memory Screening Month is an excellent opportunity for individuals with memory concerns to get free and confidential screenings for Alzheimer’s disease and other problems affecting memory,” said Waters. “It is also an opportunity to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and promote the benefits of memory screening and early detection.”

AFA has hosted its National Memory Screening initiative during Nation-

U.S. Representative Maxine Waters

al Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month for the past 13 years. This year, the program has expanded to the entire month of November, during which sites across the country, including the entire Kmart Pharmacy chain, will offer free, confidential memory screenings to the public, as well as patient education about brain health and successful aging.

To find the screening site closest to you enter your zip code here: http:// www.afascreenings.org/.

Alzheimer’s disease, a degenerative condition caused by a disease of the brain, is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. While Alzheimer’s currently has no cure, early detection can help patients and caregivers plan for more positive

health outcomes.

Memory screenings are not used to diagnose illness, but are an indicator to determine whether a person might benefit from further examination by a qualified physician. In addition to helping patients avoid or correct misdiagnosis and other medical problems, memory screenings benefit persons with healthy memory scores by dispelling fears, providing a baseline for future screenings and promoting healthy aging.

“Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease expands options for care and treatment and helps individuals and families plan for their future,” said Waters. “I congratulate the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America for organizing National Memory Screening Month.”

"I highly encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity for a free, confidential memory screening this month,” said Smith. “Knowledge is power, and in addition to providing earlier and more accurate diagnoses, memory screenings offer insight into brain health which improves quality of life for all.”

Congresswoman Lee Response to October Jobs Report

Congresswoman Barbara Lee

Oakland, CA – Congresswoman Barbara Lee, chair of the Democratic Whip Task Force on Poverty, Income Inequality and Opportunity, released the following statement on the Department of Labor’s October Jobs Report. The report shows that the economy added 161,000 jobs in October; since early 2010, the economy has added 15.5 million new private sector jobs.

“Today’s job report shows that our economy continues to grow and create jobs under President Obama’s leadership. With more than 15.5 million new, private sector jobs created since early 2010, our recovery is strong, despite Republican obstructionism to any investments in American families.

I was especially pleased to see a marked decrease in the Latino unemployment rate after a significant spike last month. However, more work remains because the Latino unemployment rate (5.7%) is still more than a full point higher than the

white unemployment rate (4.3%).

While this growth is positive, the Republican do-nothing Congress continues to endanger these gains while risking backsliding. Instead of working to support American families, Republicans have instead backed special interest and the super rich.

Their consistent obstructionism is endangering the health of our economy and our democracy.

Congress’s Republican leadership cannot remain on the sidelines, too much work remains.

In particular, I am extremely concerned about the increase in the African American unemployment rate, for the second consecutive month. Today, the African American unemployment rate (8.6%) is twice the unemployment rate of white Americans (4.3%).

Clearly, much work remains to ensure that our economic recovery reaches all communities. When Congress returns after the election, we must focus on passing legislation that will strengthen the economic position of all families, including raising the minimum wage, expanding workforce training, closing the wage gap and investing in our crumbling roads and bridges.

The unemployment rate has fallen below five percent, we have come too far to allow Republican obstructionism and special interest to undo the progress we have made.”

Initiative Transforms Libraries into Early Learning Centers for Families

(NewsUSA) - Remember your first library card?

For many children, the library opened up doors to other worlds and was a haven to study, learn, and explore. And it still is.

While most libraries around the country offer summer reading programs and story time to engage families, one organization is encouraging libraries across the country to do more.

The Family Place Libraries initiative is a national program that advocates the idea of the library as a community center for early childhood and family development.

"Family Place gives the librarians a comprehensive framework," Kathleen Deerr, national coordinator for Family Place Libraries told Publishers Weekly in an interview last year. "It's about connecting people with everything they need to build

healthier, better families."

The point, Deerr told the magazine, is to "empower librarians and families."

The program began as a collaboration between New York's Middle Country Public Library and the now-defunct, nonprofit Libraries for the Future. The Family Place Libraries model features interactive, hands-on spaces within libraries that focus on the early learning and literacy of children from birth to three years old, while also supporting the needs of parents and caregivers.

"When we can share the research about how the program can build strong brains and that children learn through play, people begin to understand that we are creating a rich environment where children can explore and discover, and adults can meet friends and get support," Deerr

told the magazine.

Currently, the Family Place Libraries network includes more than 450 sites in 29 states, and continues to grow. With its national impact clear, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has thrown its considerable weight behind the program and awarded a $450,000 National Leadership Grant to Middle Country to demonstrate the value of Family Place. With this added support, 25 libraries in eight states have established new Family Place sites.

Stacey Aldrich, former state librarian for the California State Library, says that she was introduced to the Family Place Libraries concept through Libraries for the Future and was impressed, adding that, "to watch the model flourish in California has been immensely satisfying."

Camarillo, Calif. — U.S. Department of Education statistics released this fall show a lower percentage of CSU Channel Islands (CI) students default on student loans when compared to national, state and public default statistics.

The FY2013 three-year Official Cohort Default Rates show CI’s default rate at 4.4 percent, below the national rate of 11.3 percent over the last three years; the California rate of 10.4 percent, and the 11.3 percent rate for public institutions.

“I’m really proud of our default rate and I am consistently working to ensure our default rate stays low,” said CI’s Director of Financial Aid & Scholarships Sunshine Garcia.

When Garcia first began working for CI five years ago, CI’s default rate was 9.8 percent.

Garcia credits the low default rate in part to the programs CI has implemented to educate graduating students about options available to them if they have trouble repaying their student loans.

“We’ve really made a commitment to ensure students get the proper resources when they graduate,” Garcia said. “We have a partnership with USA Funds, Student Connections.

They work with students that

we identify as having issues paying their loans. They help students look at different repayment options.”

USA Funds is a 56-year old nonprofit corporation that works with students and parents to improve access to postsecondary education.

Student Connections is a division of USA Funds dedicated to helping students.

“Also, this tells us our students are finding jobs so they are able to begin repaying their student loans,” Garcia said.

Students are to begin repaying loans when they graduate, leave the university, or when an undergraduate drops to 6 units or below.

For graduate students, repayment begins when they drop to 4 units or below.

Garcia believes it’s also been helpful for her office to set up a booth during CI’s Grad Fest, a festival with a

variety of resources for seniors preparing to graduate.

About California State University Channel Islands CSU Channel Islands (CI) is the only four-year, public university in Ventura County and is known for its interdisciplinary, multicultural and international perspectives, and its emphasis on experiential and service learning. CI’s strong academic programs focus on business, sciences, liberal studies, teaching credentials, and innovative master’s degrees. Students benefit from individual attention, up-to-date technology, and classroom instruction augmented by outstanding faculty research. CI has been designated by the U.S. Department of Education as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and is committed to serving students of all backgrounds from the region and beyond.

CI student loan default percentage lower than both state and federal averages

Colin Kaepernick Just Started A Black Panther-Inspired Youth Camp

Ray Allen says his last NBA offer came from Bucks

By Kurt Helin Ray Allen had the chance to complete the circle.

One of the best pure shooters the game has ever seen, he walked away from the NBA when LeBron James left Miami to go to Cleveland. Allen stayed in Miami to live and golf, but he took a step back from the NBA. That said, his phone kept ringing. He told Dan Patrick that, yes, the Cavaliers did call. He also said

Ray Allen

his last call came from the Milwaukee Bucks — the

team where Allen started his NBA career. He could have completed, the circle, but decided against it.

Allen recently made his retirement official. Next stop, the Hall of Fame.

By Taryn Finley Colin Kaepernick has taken his protests of police brutality to the people.

During his team’s bye week, the San Fransisco 49ers quarterback hosted a free youth camp in Oakland on Saturday called Know Your Rights. The program aims to teach kids about various important issues, including higher education, self-empowerment and interacting with law enforcement. Hundreds of black and Latino children from the Bay Area attended, according to the New York Daily News.

“We’re here today to fight back and give you all lessons to combat the oppressive issues that our people face on a daily basis. We’re here to give you tools to help you succeed,” he told the attendees, according to the Daily News.

Colin Kaepernick

“We’re going to give you knowledge on policing history, what the systems of policing in America were based on, and we’re also going to teach you skills to make sure you always make it home safely.”

The camp staff, which consists of Kaepernick and a small group of volunteers, also highlighted 10 basic rights they believe each

child should know they have, including the right to be free, healthy, safe and educated. The day was constructed around these rights, which were inspired by the 10-point plan created by the Black Panther Party, who celebrated their 50th anniversary in October. Former party member Ericka Huggins also attended to share her knowledge.

“It’s exciting for me because I see a lot of hope, I see a lot of what is to come,” Kaepernick told The Undefeated. “And if you look at a lot of movements in past history, it started at a youth level and has built. And that’s really where change is created, is when youth come up and they’re built in that culture of, ‘I know what this means, I know why this is happening and I also know how to help create change now.’”

Wizards intend to re-sign Otto Porter long-term

Otto Porter

By Dan Feldman Word leaked early that the Wizards wouldn’t extend Otto Porter’s contract, and the deadline passed without a deal.

But that doesn’t mean Washington is ready to move on from the small forward.

Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld, via J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic: “We had conversations but we want Otto here long-term,” Grunfeld told CSNmidatlantic.com, before the regular-season home opener with the Toronto Raptors. “We like Otto. We really like what he brings to the table. He’s a really good player that meshes well with John (Wall) and Brad (Beal) who like to have the ball in their hands. Otto cuts and spots up and he does a lot of little things. He makes a lot of winning plays that don’t show up in the boxscore. Our intention is in the offeseason is to have Otto signed and have him

here long-term.”

I nearly said, “File this under: What else is he supposed to say?” And this is the only answer to give when asked about Porter. It increases Porter’s trade value, dissuades other suitors from extending him an offer sheet next summer and keeps him happy and productive this season.

But Grunfeld didn’t have to give any answer. He could’ve avoided the media entirely on Porter’s future in Washington. So, this show of faith does mean something.

The Wizards won’t have cap flexibility to replace Porter if they let him leave in restricted free agency, but they could elevate Kelly Oubre. That seemed unwise, and Porter’s strong start coupled with Oubre’s shaky opening to the season only increases that sentiment.

It might wind up being costly and it’s far from certain, but this is yet another sign Porter will return to Washington next season.

National News Kim Foxx Becomes First Man Ordered To Pay $1 Million For Cutting Fire Hose During African-American Female State’s Attorney For Cook County, Illinois Freddie Gray Protests

By Ian Simpson A Baltimore man was sentenced to pay $1 million in restitution for puncturing a fire hose at a burning drugstore during rioting last year, federal authorities said.

Gregory Butler Jr, 22, was also sentenced by a federal judge to 250 hours of community service and three years of supervised release for obstructing firefighters at a CVS Health Corp pharmacy, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Baltimore said in a statement.

The drugstore was set afire in April 2015 during unrest after the funeral of Freddie Gray, a black man who died from an injury suffered while in police custody. His death heightened a U.S. debate on police treatment of minorities.

Butler had admitted to twice puncturing the hose with a knife. The incident was caught on video and the burning pharmacy became a symbol of unrest in the largely African-American city.

U.S. District Judge J.

Frederick Motz ordered Butler to pay $100 a month during his supervised release. Failure to pay could be a violation of his release, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said in an email.

After the supervisory release ends, Butler’s payment will be set based on his ability to pay. Motz set the restitution figure based on lost rent from the building, lost income from the store, legal fees, and destruction of the hose, she said.

Alleged Son of President Bill Clinton Appeals to Monica Lewinsky for DNA Sample

Today, Williams acknowledged that such a suit could be a long and costly ordeal and appealed to Lewinsky to make a valid DNA sample available to short circuit the process and bring cloture to the question of his birth.

Danney Williams (r.), ex-President Bill Clinton’s alleged abandoned son

Danney Williams, the alleged abandoned son of President Bill Clinton today released a letter to former White House Intern Monica Lewinsky requesting she make available genetic material from her infamous blue dress in order to conduct a DNA test to settle the question of William’s paternity.

Williams claims he is the son of Bill Clinton and a former prostitute Bobbie Ann Williams who said she was with Clinton on 13 occasions and that Bill was the only Caucasian man she had relations with. Bobbie Ann has passed two polygraph tests.

Williams has rejected the results of a 1999 DNA test that the Star tabloid allegedly conducted comparing Williams DNA to a partial report on Clinton’s DNA included in Impeachment Counsel Ken Starr’s final report to Congress. Williams and his attorneys claim the test was flawed because it included data for only one of the two standard tests the FBI conducted and the courts generally require to confirm

paternity. The Star never published the alleged test.

On Oct 16th, Williams called on former president Clinton to voluntarily submit a certified DNA sample so that a valid test can be conducted. On October 25th, after Clinton failed to respond, Williams announced plans to file a paternity suit against Clinton in Arkansas. Williams. 30, of Hot Springs Arkansas has repeated called on Hillary Clinton not to stand in the way of a valid DNA based on an incident in the 1980s when Hillary refused an appeal from Danney’s aunt Lucille Bolton to acknowledge and support the child Danney also puts responsibility for the situation on his stepmother, Hillary Clinton.

He told a press conference, “Hillary has the power to have Bill provide a DNA sample. I heard Hillary say she spent her life helping children, and I heard her say many times, Black Lives Matter. If Black Lives truly matter to you Hillary, please step up now.”

Kim Foxx secured the State’s Attorney of Cook County, Illinois position in a landslide election against republican candidate Christopher E. K. Pfannkuche, according to NBC Chicago. The high profile position is responsible for prosecuting criminals and protecting the state against litigation.

Foxx was nominated as the democratic candidate for the role after winning the county wide primary election against incumbent Anita Alavrez in March, securing 59% of the vote.

Foxx’s nomination came in the wake of a firestorm of criticism for Alvarez, who was highly criticized for her poor handling of the death of unarmed teen, Laquan McDonald.

“The work is just beginning, and our struggles here are very real,” Foxx told her supporters in a victory speech. “The need to rebuild a broken criminal justice system here in Cook

County is not work that should be taken lightly.”

Even though this win is a victory for Foxx, she has an uphill battle ahead of her. Foxx rode a campaign of transparency, a stark contrast to the outgoing state’s attorney Alvarez. Voters will expect her

commitment to honesty to continue throughout her tenure in office. Her moves will be highly monitored considering Chicago just had it’s deadliest month of 2016 in October.

Foxx has a lot to prove to the state, but she’s just the woman to do it.

By Kim Bellware CHICAGO ― The police shooting of a black man in a historically heavily segregated Chicago neighborhood, home to a significant portion of the city’s police officers, sparked tense protests on Sunday between police supporters and antipolice-brutality protesters.

Joshua Beal, a 25-yearold father of two from Indianapolis, was in Chicago to serve as a pall bearer in

his cousin’s funeral when he was killed by an offduty police officer. The next day, an estimated 200 pro-police demonstrators showed up to drown out the press conference of roughly 20 people calling for police accountability and protesting on Beal’s behalf.

Some of the counterprotesters hurled racial slurs at Beal’s supporters and yelled “go home!”

Police and bystanders

have conflicting narratives of what happened in the moments leading up to Beal’s fatal shooting.

In a statement, CPD said Beal’s vehicle, as part of the funeral procession, was stopped in traffic in front of a firehouse, illegally blocking a fire lane. This led to a “verbal and physical altercation” after an off-duty firefighter confronted the passengers about blocking CLASH, See page 12A

Riding While Female: The New Peril in the Age of Uber

How a Little Work Could Lead to Over $1,000 in Savings

By Nathaniel Sillin How long would it take you to earn an extra $1,000?

Contrary to what spam and internet ads tell us, after taking taxes and deductions into account, it's not an easy task. But you might be able to save over a thousand dollars with a little work. The key is to decrease or eliminate unnecessary recurring expenses.

You can use the savings to build up an emergency fund or invest them for important long-term goals, such as travel or retirement. Additionally, a savings safety cushion can help keep an unexpected setback from ballooning into a financial crisis, such as a broken down car or the loss of a job leading to debt.

First, identify savings opportunities. You may want to start by connecting your bank and credit card accounts to budgeting software, or uploading previous months' statements and categorize purchases. You'll get a quick snapshot of your finances, which can help you identify savings opportunities and get a sense of how

much money is on the line.

Cancel services and regularly negotiate rates – save over $100 a month.

"Cord cutting" is a popular and simple way to save money. Rather than pay for cable or satellite TV, you might choose to cancel your service and opt for lowercost entertainment options.

If you don't want to eliminate services entirely, you could try to negotiate rates with your cable or internet providers. A successful call could lower your bill by $20 a month or more, saving you a couple hundred dollars a year. A few tips: ask for the cancellation department and request the business match a competitor's lower price or give you the current promotional rate. Don't be afraid to try again if you're not successful – it can take several attempts to connect with a representative who will work with you.

Avoid bank fees – save over $10 a month. Occasionally paying to withdraw money from an ATM or paying fees for a lowbalance checking account

might not seem like a big deal, but the money adds up. Two ATM fees and a checking-account fee could cost you over $10.

Some accounts waive fees as long as you maintain a minimum balance, and there often isn't an ATM fee for withdrawing money from an in-network ATM or getting cash back when making a purchase. There are also checking accounts that refund ATM fees at the end of each month. There can be advantages and disadvantages to any account, read the terms of your checking and saving account agreements to understand when, and why, you may need to pay a fee.

Shop for insurance discounts – you might be able to save over 20 percent on your premiums each month. Use online comparison tools to quickly SAVINGS, See page 12A

Less Is Always More When Staging Your Home

By paring down and minimizing distracting elements in your home, you give potential buyers the ability to imagine themselves living inside it. A clutter-free environment allows the space, beauty and intrinsic value of your home to shine. Below, we break down this less-is-more approach for each room.

When It Comes to Living Rooms Keep only essential furniture. The living room is often the most used room of the house, and it may collect extra furniture that isn't typically categorized as living room furniture. The key to staging this space is to stick to just the essential pieces: typically a sofa, coffee table, rug, accent chair and media console.

Use only proportional pieces. Once you've edited, ask yourself if the liv-

ing room feels spacious or cramped. If the living room still feels crowded, consider the size of your furniture.

Are any pieces overwhelming for the size of the room?

If so, try replacing that oversized piece with something smaller and compact.

Place furniture strategically. Next, bring your editing eye to the furniture placement. Play with the placement, angling pieces, using corners of the room to open up the space.

Pare down accessories.

Next move on to your decorative accessories, including wall art. Try removing all accessories and wall art, then adding back one piece at a time. Stop when the

(NewsUSA) - Riding while female.

It's the new shorthand for the potential danger faced by women using app-based, ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. And if you don't understand just how dangerous many say it can be, you've obviously missed the slew of headlines like these from across the country: • "Uber Driver Charged With Rape Ordered Held After Dangerousness Hearing" (Boston Globe, August 2016) • "Police Had Tip That Lyft Driver Charged With Sexual Assault Planned to Flee Country" (Dallas Morning News, November 2015) • "Police: Uber Driver Returns to Rape, Burglarize Passenger at Her Home" (FOX8-TV New Orleans, January 2016) • "Fake Uber Driver Arrested After Brutal Sexual Assault of Passenger in Westlake: LAPD" (KTLATV Los Angeles, April 2016) That's right, per that last headline, we've now reached the point where bad guys are actually posing as Uber drivers in order to lure unsuspecting women into their cars.

"With the alarming number of alleged sexual assaults involving ridehail app drivers, it's urgent that we bring this issue to the forefront of conversations," says Delilah Rumburg, CEO of the nonprofit National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

To that end, the organization has allied with another nonprofit, the Na-

tional Limousine Association (NLA), which -- in calling for a "Passenger Bill of Rights" last year as part of its "Ride Responsibly" initiative -- has been at the forefront of a nationwide movement to subject drivers for the Ubers of the world to the same rigorous criminal background checks as those behind the wheels of taxis and limos.

And now, upping the ante, both have enlisted none other than Pamela Anderson -yes, the former "Baywatch" star -- to make their case in a Public Service Announcement. "You can't always vet the driver you are using," she says in "The Driving Game!" video, "but the service you are using should."

Whether even Pam will be enough to steel the backs of politicians up against formidable opponents in the ride-hailing industry in general, and Uber in particular, remains to be seen. The main sticking point: forcing the industry to finally start spending the extra bucks to fingerprint their drivers instead of relying on what NLA Presi-

dent Gary Buffo dismissively calls "the perilously incomprehensive background checks" Uber and its ilk continue to defend.

Just how formidable is the ride-hailing industry?

Well, a few months after Uber and Lyft pulled out of the Austin, Texas, market last May, rather than comply with new fingerprinting regulations that voters had just endorsed, the issue came up again in Massachusetts. Boston, you understand, had been experiencing a rash of alleged sexual assaults by Uber drivers that left women on edge. Even so, lawmakers were unable to muster the votes needed to include a fingerprinting requirement in the statewide law that ultimately passed.

"It's really frustrating when you see these attacks happen over and over again," State Senator Linda Dorcena Forry, who favored fingerprinting, tells the Boston Globe. "It's hurtful to the victim and hurtful to the community."

"When," she adds, "is it going to stop?"

By Jenna Amatulli Netflix just keeps getting better.

In an interview with CNBC, Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said that Netflix is working on an offline mode where you can stream TV shows and movies sans Wi-Fi. You know, like you can already do with Amazon Prime Streaming or music on Spotify. THIS IS AMAZING. Netflix has been expanding globally, and the service now reaches over 190 different territories. According to Sarandos, the decision to look into this technology was made after realizing many of

these newly Netflix-capable countries have “different levels of broadband speeds and Wi-Fi access.”

“In those countries they have adapted their behaviors to be much more of a downloading culture,” Sarandos told CNBC. “I think as we get into more

and more (of the) undeveloped world and developing countries that we want to find alternatives for people to use Netflix easily.”

There’s no word yet as to when these capabilities would roll out, but it is nice to know Netflix is looking into it.

blog posts or use hashtags.

And the obvious: You can shop without ever leaving the app to search for the item you want to look up.

Being able to purchase from within a platform has long been the holy grail for

social media companies who have been looking for a way to make money from their user base outside of advertisements.

Pinterest, for example, reached its highest valuation after making it easy for people to buy things directly from the site when they were already in a buying mood.

For now, Instagram is using the slow roll-out with only select brands to test the water; the new features will only be available to some users in the U.S. who use the app on iOS devices, the company says. In the future, the company plans to create ways to showcase products to shoppers and for Instagrammers to save content for later.

Now, get your credit cards out, friends. Our bank accounts are about to take a beating.

Netflix Is Working On Letting You Watch TV Shows, Movies Without Internet

room looks simple, with just a touch of personality.

Time to Tidy the Kitchen Keep surfaces clear. Think about those fabulous kitchen showrooms: gleaming counters and stove-tops, organized refrigerators. That's how you want to present your kitchen.

Make sure the surfaces are as clear as possible and that every nook and cranny is clean. Keep smaller accesso-

ries such as coffee makers to a minimum, and make sure they, too, are spotless.

Organize your cabinets and pantry. People considering purchasing your home will likely look behind closed doors, so give your kitchen cabinets and pantry a good edit.

Next, pare down and organize the contents of your refrigerator. Buyers will be paying a lot for your appliances, so make them look appealing.

Spiff Up the Bedrooms Remove excess furniture.

Furniture in the bedroom adheres to the same principles as the living room. Do you have extra furniture in the room that suits your storage needs but makes the room

feel smaller? Keep in mind that what's practical to you might scream "No space!" to someone else.

Replace oversized beds.

Another important guideline is to look at the size of the bed in the room. Specifically, is the bed too large for the space? A common staging faux pas is leaving a king-size bed in a small bedroom. This makes the room feel small, when it might in fact look spacious with a queen-size bed.

Edit your accessories.

Similar to elsewhere in the house, keep the accessories and knickknacks in bedrooms to a minimum.

Show your closet some love. As a final step in the bedrooms, spend some time making closets look, at the very least, neat. Jumbled messes won't make potential buyers want to move in.

Don't forget the kids' rooms. While kids may have many more smaller items like toys, books and school gear, editing their toy chest, closets and shelves ahead of time will prove helpful for your move.

The Final Step: Styling the Bathrooms Less is definitely more when it comes to staging a bathroom. Buyers don't want to see anything personal. Surfaces should be clear of toiletries. Showers should only show the bare minimum. In fact, pare down the bathroom to its bare minimum fixtures and hardware, and, most importantly, clean it until it's gleaming.

Now You Can Buy That Thing You Liked On Instagram

You know that irritating moment when you find something you love on Instagram, but have no clue who makes it or where to buy it?

Well, Instagram is changing the game and letting users shop for items directly from posts.

Beginning next week, Instagram is working with 20 U.S.-based retail brands including Kate Spade, JackThreads and Warby Parker, who will share posts that have a “tap to view” icon at the bottom left of a photo. That icon will yield a tag that will highlight up to five products and their prices. The tags will also click through to a detailed view of the product.

This is great for a plethora of reasons. It eliminates the need for users to have to tag their posts with brands’ accounts, link to

Spotlight on Health:

By Tony Williams, Esq It was late and I was hungry. So naturally, one of the few places that is open will more than likely be fast food. So I drive to one of the nearest fast food chains and instead of ordering through the drive-thru, I decide to go in. Immediately, my eyes are drawn to an older woman working behind the counter. She had to be about 80-years-old, seriously. She had a slight hump in her back and her hands shook profusely.

I felt so bad giving her my order, because not only was she old, but she was obviously a new employee and didn’t know how to work all of the equipment.

So when something she put in didn’t go right, the manager, who happened to be a very condescending early 20’s (I’m talking like 21 at the most) young, perky girl that kept shaking her head at the woman when she had to fix her mistake.

Needless to say, I got my order and went back out to the car. When driving back home, I couldn’t help but to think, how did that woman end up there?

It was the late shift, she was well beyond her years but she needed that job.

Then it hit me: More than likely, because of poor planning she was too poor to retire, but too young to die. She still had years left to live, but not enough money.

Unfortunately, many of our elderly are in the same predicament. But there’s good news, you can get out!

Here’s three myths about retirement that need to get out of your head immediately: 1. Retirement? I still

By Dr. P. Gould Choking happens when someone’s airway suddenly gets blocked, either fully or partly, so they can’t breathe.

It can happen just about anywhere: sitting down to eat, walking, or laying down. If a blockage is small, a person usually tries to remove it themselves, and the person will usually be able to speak, cry, cough or breathe.

If choking is occurring, the Red Cross recommends a “five-and-five” approach to delivering first aid: Give 5 back blows.

First, deliver five back blows between the person’s shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.

Give 5 abdominal thrusts.

Perform five abdominal thrusts (also known as the Heimlich maneuver).

Alternate between 5 blows and 5 thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.

The American Heart Association doesn’t teach the back blow technique, only the abdominal thrust procedures. It’s OK not to use back blows, if you haven’t learned the technique. Both approaches are acceptable.

To perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on someone else: • Stand behind the person.

Wrap your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly. Make a fist with one hand. Position it slightly above the person’s navel.

• Grasp the fist with the other hand. Press hard into the abdomen with a quick, upward thrust — as if trying to lift the person up.

• Perform a total of 5

How To Save Someone’s Life If They Are Choking “Too Poor To Retire, But Too Young To Die”

have time for that – believe it or not, a lot of people think and I mean A LOT. People want to wait until their 40’s to plan for their retirement thinking that that is enough time to do what they need to do. But really, since your first day of work, you should be saving for your retirement. If you haven’t started doing it now, start today. Like right now! Not when you get home from work, not when you have time. Right now.

Start setting aside a little into a 401K, Roth IRA or money market, or mutual fund. And if you don’t know what any of those things are, look them up. The key is to start now.

At least start saving something. Do you know that if you saved 100 a month (50 from every paycheck) for the next 20 years 2. My children will take care of me – this is probably one of the most dangerous myths out there. It’s so dangerous that it’s putting gen-

erations of Black men and women in a constant cycle of living beneath where they can be. While your children should have a vested interest in you and your well being when you get older, all of it shouldn’t have to weigh on their shoulders.

3. You can earn your way out of bad financial decisions – Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Did I say wrong? Yes, that is wrong. People think that if they just had a little more money, they’d be okay (shaking my head). It doesn’t matter if you have $1,000 or $100,000, if you don’t have some of the basic spending and saving techniques down then you won’t be able to keep or flip the money you have into more money.

So if you have poor money management (be real with yourself), then get with a trusted financial adviser to start putting together a financial plan for you and your family.

tion — persisting even 12 months after the supervised exercise sessions ended.

Unfortunately, that was not the case for those assigned to the stretching and calisthenics group.

In a recently published follow-up analysis, study authors also disclosed that MRI scans showed an increase in the size of specific areas of the brain in participants who completed the weight training program — noting that the changes which occurred, were linked to cognitive improvements.

“The stronger people became, the greater the benefit for their brain,” lead author Yorgi Mavros, PhD, an exercise physiologist at the University of Sydney, said in a press release.

As for the significance, researchers argue that the findings have big implications for the 135 million people forecasted to suffer

from dementia worldwide by 2050. “The more we can get people doing resistance training like weight lifting, the more likely we are to have a healthier ageing population,” said Mavros. “The key, however, is to make sure you are doing it frequently, at least twice a week, and at a high intensity.”

Meanwhile, clinical professor of neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medical College Ezriel Kornel, M.D, [who did not partake in the study] told RealSimple. com he agrees there’s much value in the findings for both doctors and patients.

“We’ve known for a while that exercise is probably the most significant factor in maintaining brain health— but this study shows a specific exercise that seems to prevent, or even potentially reverse, memory loss.”

According to the AFA, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in people over 65 and represents about 60 percent of all those battling the illness. Though symptoms vary depending on the type of dementia, common warning signs include memory loss, inability to communicate effectively, in addition to personality changes such as depression, hallucinations and delusions.

If you believe that you or a loved one may be developing dementia, visit http:// www.alz.org/ for a long list of resources and support services in your area.

Strength Training May Protect Memory As We Age

By Ruthie Hawkins Exercise is a great way to keep your brain healthy as you age. So, it should be no surprise that lifting weights may protect you against memory loss. In fact, according to a group of Australian researchers, hitting the weights as little as twice a week may help ward off Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Per the study which involved 100 men and women, ages 55 to 86 — all diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)—a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease in which people have noticeably reduced memory or thinking abilities, but are still able to live independently — were divided into two groups: resistance training and seated stretching combined with calisthenics. Each group was then to complete their assigned regimen twice a week for six weeks.

Those assigned to strength-training used a weight machine, working to at least 80 percent of their peak strength during each session. As their strength increased, so did the weight.

Meanwhile, those assigned to the latter group, used a computerized brain-training program in addition to following a basic exercise routine.

In 2014, the study’s primary results, revealed that participants in the strengthtraining groups made significant improvements on tests to measure cogni-

abdominal thrusts, if needed. If the blockage still isn’t dislodged, repeat the five-and-five cycle.

• If you’re the only rescuer, perform back blows and abdominal thrusts before calling 911 or your local emergency number for help.

If another person is available, have that person call for help while you perform first aid.

• If the person becomes unconscious, perform standard CPR with chest compressions and rescue breaths.

To perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on yourself: First, if you’re alone and

choking, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Then, although you’ll be unable to effectively deliver back blows to yourself, you can still perform abdominal thrusts to dislodge the item.

• Place a fist slightly above your navel.

• Grasp your fist with the other hand and bend over a hard surface — a countertop or chair will do.

• Shove your fist inward and upward.

cluding over-the-counter brands like Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl they also reduce the watery tear film that keeps eyes moist.

Nasal Decongestants may be the go-to for easing a backed up nasal cavity, allowing you to breathe easily. But, much like antihistamines, brand names containing ingredients like phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine and oxymetazoline, decrease tear production.

Antidepressants believe it or not, can interrupt messages meant to signal the eyes and release tears after sensing eye dryness.

Hormone replacements like estrogen have a greater likelihood of developing dry eye, says a study involving more than 25,000 post-menopausal women.

Dry eyes? Stop Using These Medications

By Ruthie Hawkins Dry eye season is upon us. Also known as kerato conjunctivitis sicca (KCS), dry eye is defined as itchy eyes — heavy eyelids – or the feeling something is stuck in your eye and affects more than 3.2 million women over the age of 50 in the U.S., a 2003 study published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology said.

What are the symptoms?

• Sensitivity to light • Redness • Discomfort • Pain and dryness • Inflammation What causes dry eyes?

According to the National Eye Institute, dry eye occurs when your eyes aren’t producing sufficient tears.

Containing electrolytes, nutrients, and antibodies, tears protect your eye ducts against infections and following injury. Without the right treatment, people with dry eye could develop scarring, pain, even vision loss.

Though associated with several immune system disorders, including Sjögren’s syndrome, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, dry eyes can also onset due to the use of common medication pills, sprays, drops and liquids – each starving your eyes of hydration.

Fortunately for those suffering from the persistent pupil problem, there are several things one can do to combat symptoms linked to the following medications: Medications to Avoid Antihistamines provide much-needed relief of allergy and cold symptoms, like sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, and a runny nose, by blocking the effect of the chemical histamine.

Did The CMAAwards Really Delete All Mention Of Beyoncé To Appease Racists?

By Maxwell Strachan Beyoncé KnowlesCarter graced the CMA Awards with her presence, performing “Daddy Lessons” from “Lemonade” with help from the Dixie Chicks, much to the delight of the crowd in front of her and, at least for a period of time, the Country Music Association.

TMZ reports that Beyoncé was prominently featured on CMAWorld. com early the next day, and that the association’s official Twitter account tweeted about the performance, as well.

But as of the current moment, all mention of Beyoncé on the CMAs website and Twitter account has been erased, and the association has yet to provide a reason as to why its scrubbed the singer from those online platforms.

However, the CMAs Instagram page regrammed one of Bey’s photos from the show. It appears to be the only post of the singer’s performance the association shared.

Speculation quickly spread that the CMA Awards removed all mention of Beyoncé as a result of some country music fans tweeting racially-tinged

Beyoncé Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines

criticism of the decision to let her perform. Some fans were angry that the CMAs allowed her to play her music at “our country music show,” since she “hates cops, white people, and supports BLM.” Sources told TMZ that the CMA Awards did in fact delete all mention of Beyoncé as a result of the racist criticism, as well as to distance the award show from the Black Lives Matter movement. But in a statement provided to The Huffington Post, the association said that was not

the case: CMA has not erased any mentions of Beyoncé’s performance on the CMA Awards. In advance of the broadcast, CMA removed a five-second promotional clip from ABC. com and CMA’s Facebook page. The promo was unapproved and CMA removed it prior to the broadcast. Beyoncé’s performance with Dixie Chicks was a highlight of the evening and we are continuing to share the amazing full-length performance clip via our official social channels.

Tamron Hall Created A Fund To Support Victims Of Domestic Violence

By Taryn Finley In 2004, Tamron Hall’s sister Renate died after spending years in relationships with abusive men. In the 12 years since, Hall has dedicated her time speaking out about the issue. In an effort to honor Renate and help others, Hall is taking her advocacy a step further.

The “Today” co-host said she felt that the public only knew Renate as “Tamron Hall’s sister,” but she didn’t want Renate’s story to be solely defined by her. So in partnership with non-profit Safe Horizon, Hall launched “The Tamron ♥ Renate Fund” in October (Domestic Violence Awareness Month).

The fund aims to provide support for victims by educating their family members so that they can learn how to become a strong support system.

Often times, Hall told The Huffington Post, family members of victims may not know what to say or do to help their loved one.

She said she surely didn’t know what to do before her sister’s death.

Hall recalled getting into an intense argument with Renate, a 48-yearold mother of two, about

why she was staying in an abusive relationship.

Though the two reconciled several months later, Hall confessed that she still felt guilty after her sister was found beaten to death, floating face down in her pool in Houston in 2004.

As a result of a lack of evidence, no arrests were made and the case is still an unsolved homicide.

Hall wanted to make an impact so others can help their loved ones who may be going through a similar situation. “The Tamron ♥ Renate Fund” aims to teach friends and family members how to help victims.

Hall said the goal of the fund is to make sure survivors never feel as if they deserved it or feel like they’ve been abandoned.

Top Fifteen Most Expensive Movies Ever Made

Part II of II

8. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006): $263.7 Million

a significantly higher budget than any other previous installment. The effects are as good as they ever get in a Harry Potter movie, while the cinematography is simply gorgeous, fully deserving its Academy Award nomination.

5. Tangled (2010): $281.7 Million

enormously successful, launching Leonardo DiCaprio on his path to superstardom and becoming the highest grossing film of all time, a record eventually broken by another James Cameron production, Avatar. The epic disaster film/ tear-jerker also matched records for number of Oscar nominations (fourteen) and wins (eleven).

2. Cleopatra (1963): $339.5 Million

Most successful movies inspired by other mediums are based on things like books, comics, or graphic novels, but one of the most popular franchises ever is actually based on a Disneyland ride. The movie won the Oscar for Visual Effects, which isn’t surprising given its massive budget.

But it was all worth it in the end, as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest went on to become the fastest to gross over $1 billion and the highest grossing film of 2006, as well as being the most successful movie of the franchise.

7. Waterworld (1995): $271.3 Million

When you consider the cost of animations, you’d think that all you have to pay for is a bunch of artists working on their computers, no sets, costumes, staff, or extras. But Disney’s Tangled cost about as much as the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy to produce – so what happened there?

Well, as the studio was moving away from hand-drawn animation towards CGI, new technologies and methods had to be invented to keep that “Disney feel”.

4. Spider-Man 3 (2007): $293.9 Million

Here’s where that pesky thing called inflation actually plays a role. Released in 1963, starring Liz Taylor in the title role alongside the likes of Richard Burton and Rex Harrison, the film has a budget of $44 million – average in today’s money, but the cost almost bankrupted 20th Century Fox 50 years ago!

This huge cost was in part due to the fact that the elaborate costumes and sets had to be made twice (initially in London, then in Rome after production was relocated there). Liz Taylor’s massive fee, which would eventually reach $7 million (over $50 million in today’s money), also didn’t do much good to the bottom line. On the flip side, she did earn a Guinness World Record for her 65 costume changes (since surpassed by Madonna’s 85 changes in Evita), while the film won four of its nine Academy Award nominations (for Cinematography, Special Effects, Art Direction, and Set Decoration).

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007): $341.8 Million When it was released in 1995, Waterworld was the most expensive movie ever made. Like many other highpriced flicks, Waterworld was marred by production difficulties – on one occasion, the set was badly damaged by a hurricane. So much was invested into the project that the state of Hawaii (where filming was taking place) actually had over $35 million added to its economy.

The third and final Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie, starring Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man 3 was the least well received among critics, though it fared best at the box office. In terms of special effects, the movie picked up where the previous film left off. The three villains, the mayhem they inflict, and the action scenes look great.

3. Titanic (1997): $294.3 Million

6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009): $275.3 Million

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth and the most expensive film of the Harry Potter series, with

Titanic was released in theaters two years after Waterworld, breaking its record for most expensive movie ever made and almost starting a trend of gargantuan productions set on water. Unlike the Kevin Costner picture, Titanic was

The third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series was released in the summer of 2007, just a couple of weeks after Spider-Man 3, beating its record as the most expensive movie ever made. While not exactly the best part Gore Verbinski’s “trilogy”, the production values are still amazing. And even with its staggeringly large cost, it still more than made up for it at the box office. Which goes to show that, if you invest enough money that it looks good and you find the perfect star to lead, you could probably turn a coloring book into a highly lucrative film series.

Trump Owes Obama An Apology for Leading ‘Birther’ Movement

Colin Kaepernick is Doing Much More Than Taking a Knee

Michael H. Cottman

Shaun King

A huge part of my calling in life is to tell stories of injustice that simply aren’t being told anywhere else. That’s why over the past few weeks I’ve come on here to talk about the young Beaumont Bulls football team or Deborah Danner and Renee Davis – two women struggling with mental illness who were shot and killed by police last month. Those stories need to be told and need to be known if their families are going to have any chance of justice.

But today I have some good news I want to share.

This weekend my 10 year old son and I traveled to Oakland, California to support San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as he hosted a camp for Bay Area kids ages 1018 called the “I Know My Rights Camp” and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. And it was beautiful for at least 3 reasons.

First and foremost, I saw Colin Kaepernick operating in his higher purpose in life.

I sincerely think the brother has found his calling. Football is his profession. It’s what he does to make a living. It’s a skill he has developed, but I sincerely believe that his calling in life is and will continue to be as a brave leader for our children and youth. In him, I saw a free

man. His eyes were free.

His spirit was free. His energy was free. I know freedom when I see it and it was encouraging to my own soul to see another brother walking in it. He his doing what he has been called to do.

Secondly, the camp itself was a major success. It gathered hundreds of kids from throughout Oakland, and San Francisco, and Richmond California to not only teach them what their rights are with police and the criminal justice system, but to teach them essential lessons about history, about their health, about their finances, and about their education. The kids who showed up all showed up to see and hear Colin Kaepernick and he knew that. The brother literally took photos with every single person in the building. But it was not a Colin Kaepernick festival.

He brought in experts to teach the kids essential life lessons and skills to help them succeed and thrive and they were willing, in huge part, to listen because Colin Kaepernick asked them to.

Lastly, and this is great news, Colin announced his dream to eventually host these camps in cities all across the country. It’s a major undertaking, but I wanna tell you what I know.

He didn’t hire an event firm to do all the work for him.

The brother literally helped find the speakers, design the t-shirts, and when I spoke with him the night before the event at 1am, he was up late packing the giveaway backpacks for the kids. The man cares. I’m excited for these camps to start in other cities because our kids need to learn these lessons and our schools damn sure aren’t teaching them.

I wanna close this morning with this story. At the very end of the camp, Colin got on the mic to share something very personal that he had never shared before. After giving the kids a familiar narrative on how black history began thousands of years before slavery, thousands of years before police brutality and hashtags of our sisters and brothers were shared on social media, he told them how being adopted as a child, by a white family who soon moved from Milwaukee to California, had caused him to know little more than the fact that he was from Milwaukee. That was the beginning and end of his history until he decided to do an KAEPERNICK, See page 12A

New York AG, CFPB Join Forces to Fight Illegal National Debt Collection Scheme them out of millions. This suit sends the message that debt collectors that employ abusive tactics will be held accountable.”

In recent years, debt collection abuses have emerged as a growing consumer finance issue for communities of color. Both research and investigative news have found that consumers of color, along with low and middle-income communities are frequently targets of collection lawsuits that today represent a still-growing $13 billion industry.

According to the lawsuit, MacKinnon and Gray operate a network of at least 60 fly-by-night collection shops to collect on large debt portfolios purchased by three interrelated firms: Northern Resolution Group, Enhanced Acquisitions and Delray Capital, all based in Buffalo, New York. MacKinnon and Gray created, operated and oversaw the illegal operation.

Among the actions cited as illegal violations included: • Falsely threatening legal action; • Impersonating law enforcement officials, government agencies and court officers; and • Inflating consumer debts and misrepresentations of amounts consumers owed.

These kinds of actions

President-elect Donald Trump should have opened his epic 90-minute meeting with President Barack Obama Thursday with two simple words: “I’m sorry.”

But he didn’t.

Obama and Trump shook hands inside the White House and discussed a civil transfer of power two days after a racially divided nation witnessed Trump’s historic defeat of Hillary Clinton.

The president, a former community organizer, and Trump, a current billionaire blowhard, finally met face-to-face in the Oval Office — an improbable sit-down that no one saw coming 16 months ago.

These two men – who met Thursday for the first time — couldn’t be more different: Obama is tolerant; Trump is often intolerable. Obama is intellectual and cerebral. Trump doesn’t have a clue about leading – or healing — a nation.

This was clearly not the meeting Obama had envisioned, but it’s the meeting the president got. Obama campaigned vigorously for Clinton; he portrayed Trump correctly as an unbalanced tweet-obsessed fanatic who is unfit to be the nation’s commander-in-chief, a man who is long on rhetoric and short on substance.

And Obama will probably never forget that Trump led the so-called “birther” movement which questioned Obama’s citizenship, claiming that Obama was not born in the United States and was therefore

disqualified for holding the office of president.

Trump’s attempt to discredit Obama in such a mean-spirited personal way was blatantly racist, the only logical interpretation for Trump’s lunacy. In fact, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported that hate groups in the U.S. have increased since Obama was elected president and Trump, who fostered an atmosphere of racial hatred, was endorsed by the KKK. For months, Trump continued to disrespect the nation’s first Black president at every opportunity and hounded Obama, not about his legislative agenda, but about his lineage.

For his constant contempt, Trump owes Obama a sincere apology.

But now Trump is poised to become president on Jan. 20 and take Obama’s place in the Oval Office. His immediate plan – however misguided and dangerous — is to dismantle many of Obama’s signature policies, which includes repealing the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, which could adversely impact 20 million Americans.

But Obama, the consummate statesman, has vowed to make the shift of power as seamless as possible for Trump.

“My No. 1 priority in the next two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our President-elect is successful,” Obama said after his meeting with Trump.

Obama told Trump: “If

you succeed, the country succeeds,” as the two men sat in front of the fireplace in the Oval Office.

Trump thanked Obama for the meeting, which he said had originally been scheduled for 10-15 minutes but lasted and hour and a half, with Trump saying it could have gone on much longer.

“Mr. President, it was a great honor being with you and I look forward to being with you many, many more times,” Trump said. He called Obama a “very good man.”

But what can we expect from Trump? A rookie politician who promises to be a leader for all Americans? Or the crass loudmouth who often insulted people of color on the campaign trail?

At some point, Trump will begin to methodically derail Obama’s legacy. On immigration, for example, Trump said he overturn Obama’s executive order to grant permits to millions of undocumented immigrants.

But now, after nearly two years of Trump proudly pushing back against political correctness – and singling out Hispanics and African-Americans as targets– Republicans are asking the millions of Americans who voted for Clinton to forgive Trump and give the incoming commander-inchief a chance to succeed.

That’s certainly possible – but not today.

A new federal lawsuit alleges that since at least 2009, two major players in the debt collection industry have illegally operated, harassed, threatened and deceived millions of consumers across the country – often for debts that were either inflated or not even owed. The scheme based in Buffalo, New York, also netted tens of millions of dollars in revenue each year.

The case seeks to shut down the illegal scheme, secure compensation for victims and assess civil penalties against the companies and its partners.

On November 2, New York’s Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Richard Cordray, Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, filed charges against the scheme’s two principals, Douglas MacKinnon and Mark Gray. “[W]e are taking action against the ringleaders of this operation,” noted Director Cordray, “so they can no longer prey upon vulnerable consumers.”

“Living with debt is difficult enough, without the added stress of being harassed and threatened by debt collectors,” Attorney General Schneiderman said. “These collection shops inflated debts, threatened victims and deceived

violate both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Enacted in 1978, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protects consumers from abusive or deceptive fraud in debt collection practices. It applies only to the collection of debt incurred by a consumer primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. Two of its most important provisions are that a debt collector cannot phone a consumer’s residence before 8:00am or after 9:00pm; nor attempt to contact a consumer at their place of employment.

Similarly, the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act specifically bans unfair and deceptive acts or practices in the consumer financial marketplace in a variety of lending areas that include mortgages, student loans, debt collection and others.

Last year, CFPB returned $360 million to consumers wronged by unlawful debt collection practices and collected over $79 million in fines. In addition, the Federal CFPB, See page 12A

There’s a toddler gym where the mostly white and wealthy folks go that I take my son to. It’s so refreshing to see the children play with each other without judgment. This isn’t to say that some of the kids aren’t jerks but they’re equal opportunity jerks. Still, some moms and nannies watch with laser-focused curiosity and caution as their sons and daughters jump around in the ball pit with a darkskinned boy with nappy hair he inherited from his large, bearded, daddy, looking on.

When I was growing up in Brooklyn, the only time us Black kids would interact with white people were at school with teachers, in the streets with cops or maybe the landlord. Either way, it was in a very limited capacity. I didn’t have any friends aside from Blacks and Latinos. It wasn’t until I entered the workforce that I associated with a white person who wasn’t some sort of authority figure. I wasn’t the only that had this experience either.

A lot of my friends grew up the same way which created a twisted cultural perspective. To us, white people all had money, they were

smarter and for the most part more important than any of us. It wasn’t until adulthood that we realized that white folks can be just as smart or dumb as anyone else. It was like when the Wizard of Oz was exposed as a regular, insecure, basic ass dude. The curtain was yanked and the perfect superhumans we were in awe of as kids turned out to be just as flawed as the rest of us.

This is why I will continue to have my kid around people of different races, especially white people, so he becomes accustomed to being around them. I believe that having experiences with folks of different ethnic backgrounds lessens the cultural shock later on in life when it really counts. Without that exposure, it’s easier to mistake stereotypes as facts it helps kids realize that despite what they see in media or encounter dealing with someone of any race, no one is any better or worse than they are.

We need to more than ever reinforce the foundation of Black confidence and ensure fear and hatred don’t block our babies from greatness. That way

our history will be more meaningful for them than just old clips of our parents and grandparents being attacked by dogs or slave movies where all we do is get our asses beat and raped for 90 minutes.

Love for yourself and your people is what drives community building. Getting caught up in hating white people or being too scared to stand level with them only makes you stagnant. I’d much rather my child spend his life’s energy gaining the knowledge to navigate this world on his own terms.

Regardless of if America becomes “great” again.

VOTERS From page 1A election following the selection of Donald Trump as president, told those marching in protest and others upset over the nation’s choice for president something he has been saying throughout his eight-year term.

“Hopefully, it’s a reminder that elections matter and voting counts,” he told reporters during a White House press conference. “And so, you know, I don’t know how many times we have to relearn this lesson, because we ended up having 43 percent of the country not voting who were eligible to vote, but it makes a difference.”

African Americans and other groups failed to go to the polls at the record numbers generated by their opponents, according to polls, which assured Trump a presidential victory.

While most thought that Obama wouldn’t spare negative comments about the incoming president, he stayed away from critical statements.

“I don’t think he is ideological,” Obama said. “I think ultimately he’s pragmatic in that way., That can serve him well as long as he’s got good people around him and he has a clear sense of direction.”

Trump, who has made harsh statements about the Obama administration throughout his campaign, has announced his appointed key strategist in the White House. Steve Bannon, a major proponent in the ultraconservative altright movement, will be Trump’s righthand man and senior advisor.

Civil rights activists, Democrats and some Republicans said Brannon, the head of conservative Breitbart News, would bring racist, anti-Semitic and nationalist view to the government.

Obama refused to comment on Brannon’s appointment.

“I think it’s fair to say that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on every appointment that the presidentelect starts making if I want to be consistent with the notion that we are going to try to facilitate a smooth transition,” he said.

The president described Thursday’s hour and a half-long meeting with Trump as “cordial”. Many were skeptical of the conversation wanted to know if the president’s opinion of his successor had changed.

“My advice to him, as I said when we had our discussions, is that campaigning is different from governing,” he said.. “I think he recognizes that. I think he’s sincere in wanting to be a successful president and wanting to move this country forward.

He said he did have some concerns about Trump, particularly arouind his signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act, which some have derisively called Obamacare.

He suggested Trump rethink the changes he stated he would make to Obama’s program and the deferred deportation of young immigrants.

Throughout the conference, Obama continued to urge discouraged Democrats to realize that things in a democracy change rapidly, but not inevitably.

He said he wants them to maintain their core values as America makes the transition to a new administration.

The president finished the conference by saying what he will do to help Trump direct the country in the right direction.

“And so we will try to share the lessons that we’ve learned over these last eight years with the incoming president, and my hope is he makes things better,” he said, “and if he does, we’ll all benefit from it.”

PROTEST From page 1A in downtown Washington, D.C., owned by president-elect Donald Trump. It was one of many protests across the country that has taken place since Trump’s recent stunning victory over Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton.

PANTHER From page 1A has been a hot topic lately.

Although it has been very well documented that the BPP was established in Oakland, Calif., Oct. 15, 1966, by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in an earnest effort to combat police terrorism, unbeknownst to most people, local activists had already founded a similar youth-oriented organization named the Black Panther Party here in Harlem’s St. Nicholas Park during June 1966.

“Adam Clayton Powell Jr. told us we should seek a base for Black power,” recollected Brother David White, founding member of the original Black Panther Party out of Harlem, as he credits the first Black man in Congress as a major inspiration for starting the organization. “The Black Panthers were invited by Adam to the first Black Power Conference in July 1966 in Washington, D.C. At that time, he gave us original copies of his Black Position Paper. That September we boycotted JHS 139 and demanded that a Black curriculum be implemented.”

The original Black Panthers out of Harlem were instrumental in ensuring locals were politicized and properly educated in public schools, as they advocated for the Harlem community to be self-determining. They also helped independent Black-owned music record labels attain valuable and very necessary radio rotation, thus the nickname, the Fair Play Committee.

Some recall members from the FPC attending business meetings at various radio stations and record labels with briefcases in hand, yet there were no papers or folders inside. Needless to say, negotiations went well and they got the jobs done.

During a time when activists charged that some Jewish and Italian people were exploiting Black artists, the FPC handled much of the business that went on behind closed doors, often negotiating favorable deals for Black artists.

“The FPC was pointed to the radio who was ignoring independent Black music artists,” recalled TaharQa Aleem, who along with twin brother Tunde-Ra comprised The Ghetto Fighters, who were part of Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies. “Clarence Mookie Jackson was very influential and the founder of the FPC. He also co-wrote James Brown’s ‘It’s A Man’s World.’ The FPC had great power and potential.”

Aleem explained how Jack Taylor,

Friday

legendary Harlem entrepreneur, wielded much influence, assisted by the FPC. “Frankie Crocker [legendary radio DJ] had to pay attention to independent Black music due to the FPC. The FPC planted the seeds for what Black radio is today,” Aleem contended. “Our success with Nia Records is due to the FPC.” Their immeasurable influence laid down a blueprint which the hip-hop generation emulated decades later.

“The FPC tried to rectify the problem of white-control and was trying to get Black people to rule our own destiny, when it comes to other people making millions of dollars off our music,” explained musician/songwriter Edwin Birdsong. “The FPC was trying to make sure Black people get and control what’s rightfully ours, but slavery is still in effect today in 2016!”

Dr. Muhammad Ahme and several other founding members of the FPC held a forum at Harlem’s Schomburg Center this past July where they shared some valuable history.

OXNARD From page 1A The relocation expenses the City paid to Southern California Gas Company originated from state transportation and federal grants, the street/state gas tax and air pollution, Transportation Development Act (TDA) and capital improvement funds. The $4.1 million will be reallocated to those funds, which are reserved for street improvement projects only. No money from the general fund was used for the project.

The $4.1 million judgment includes $2,587,278 in gas line relocation costs, $1.3 million in pre-judgment interest and $182,803 in attorney’s fees and costs.

The City of Oxnard is a full-service general law city incorporated in 1903.

HARRIS From page 1A on our victory here in California. We cannot throw up our hands at a time that requires all of us to roll up our sleeves.

We can either retreat or we can fight.

I intend to FIGHT for who we are. I hope you join me.

I intend to fight for a state that has the largest number of immigrants, both documented and undocumented. We must bring them justice and dignity and fairness through comprehensive immigration reform.

I intend to fight for Black Lives Matter and to ensure truth, transparency, and trust in our criminal justice system.

I intend to fight for a woman’s access to health care and reproductive rights.

I intend to fight against those naysayers who suggest there is no such thing as climate change. Now is the time to intensify the fight for our environment, not abandon it. Our children’s future literally depends on it.

I intend to fight for the civil rights of all people, because no one should be denied housing, employment or the right to marry the person they love.

I intend to fight for our students and invest in them. We cannot let them graduate with devastating amounts of debt.

Education is the only path to success, we must solve the student loan debt crisis.

I intend to fight for commonsense gun safety because it’s the right thing to do. I have not forgotten the lives that were lost in San Bernardino, Sandy Hook, or the tragic attack on my friend, Gabby Giffords.

So here’s the deal: our ideals are at stake right now and we will have to fight for who we are. This is a pivotal moment in the history of America.

I believe it is an inflection point— similar to the time and place when my parents met and were active in the Civil Rights Movement. I believe this is a moment in time when many of us must look in the mirror with furrowed brow and ask ourselves: who are we?

I believe that answer is a good one.

We are a great country. Imperfect, but great because of our values, ideals, and diversity. One presidential election cannot erase that.

It is important to remember what Coretta Scott King taught us. That the fight for civil rights—the fight for justice and equality—must be fought and won with each generation. It is the very nature of this fight that whatever gains we make, they will not be permanent.

The same is true of our opponents.

The gains they have made in this election are not permanent. That is why we must come together right now—not despair— and fight for who we are and the country we want to be.

Thank you for everything you have done in this election. I am humbled by the fact that we would not be here without you.

This campaign for Senate has ended, but the work is just beginning. Please stay involved. Please own a piece of the next four years and help us fight for the future of this country. Together, we can do this.

Fight on, DUI From page 1A 15-years-to-life.

During the morning of October 28, the deputy had just finished an unrelated traffic stop on the Lewis Road on ramp to the northbound 101 in Camarillo.

While standing outside of his patrol vehicle, he was struck and killed by Hogrefe. He drove his vehicle until it crashed at the Las Posas off ramp. Hogrefe, had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.

Because he had prior DUI convictions, he was charged with and convicted of second degree murder and he could have faced 19-years-to-life in prison.

But the judge reduced that to 15-years-to-life by folding the sentence for the second count against Hogrefe, fleeing the scene of the crash, into the sentence for the second degree murder conviction.

MEDICARE From page 1A for many seniors because of rising drug prices,” said AARP Chief Public Policy Officer Debra Whitman, PhD. Medicare health and prescription drug cost-sharing can vary widely between plans for the same drug or service. “During Medicare

NOVEMBER 18, 2016

Open Enrollment, some people may be able to save hundreds of dollars on outof-pocket costs just by changing to a different plan.”

Things to Know About Medicare Open Enrollment Changes You Can Make Here are changes you can make during open enrollment: Switch from traditional Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan, or vice versa Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another Switch from one stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan to another Drop Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage Join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan if you didn’t sign up when you were first eligible Consider the “Four C’s” AARP recommends that people consider the “Four C’s” when reviewing Medicare plan options: Cost - Compare monthly premiums, annual deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance.

Coverage - Review the doctors and pharmacies included in the plan, as well as prescription drugs and other services you need.

Convenience - Look at the local doctors, pharmacies, and services included in the plans.

Customer Service - Consider the quality of service a plan provides. Quality ratings for most Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans are available at www.medicare. gov/find-a-plan.

FEAR From page 2A because I feel like I have to rather than doing it because I truly feel led to do it because of the Holy Spirit’s leadership in my life.

Just because we have opportunities doesn’t mean we need to embrace them.

Saying “yes” to everything often means we have to say “no” to the things that you are called to do.

He put his name on them and that did not uplift the DNC chance for the White House. In the end, it put his past performance into the same mud pit.

Slowly but surely the various segments of American Voters started to slowly back away. The deeper the scandals got, the least likely his embrace of the Clinton candidacy would sell to the voters. White males, white females, Hispanics, Asians and even Blacks started to pull out of the Clinton mystique and even the Obama mojo. My mother would say, “If you play in dirt, it will eventually get in your eyes”. That is it. He could not see the filth he was associating with and his judgement became impaired.

Barack Hussein Obama started to slowly slide from his “Throne”. It lessened him in front of all to see. His failed deeds – Obama Care, IRS Scandals, VA Scandals, unemployment failures, Hillary’s sleazy past and Bill’s legendary libido. He put his legacy on the line playing with those dirty doers. It got in his eyes.

History will give the final report.

Mr. Alford is the co-founder, President/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce®. Website: www. nationalbcc.org Email: halford@nationalbcc.org DREAM From page 2A actually doing the exercise. Remember, the mind doesn’t know the difference between what you imagine and what you perceive as reality. Using hypnosis, guided imagery and visualization trains the mind to achieve automatic reactions and responses. When doing this, all senses are engaged. Effective visualization uses sight, sound, taste, touch and emotion.

This can give an athlete (or anyone!!!) a renewed level of self- confidence.

The meditative state which is achieved by self-hypnosis allows one to give instructional self-talk to improve specific techniques or skills, athletic or otherwise. Well-known sports figures Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Tiger Woods all have meditation practices. Tell yourself, “Keep your knees bent.” “Chin up.” “You can do it.” According to sports psychologist Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, “The mind guides action. If we succeed in regulating our thoughts, then this will help our behavior.”

When Jack Nicklaus had his dream, he trusted himself and his own inner guidance. He acted on his inner wisdom. When you go within, (whether in the dream state, the meditative state, the hypnotic state, whatever you want to name it state) you transcend conscious thought. You achieve a heightened state of focused concentration, effortless calm and confidence. You let go of the outside reality as you know it. This state of mind keeps pressures and distractions from harming you. When you go within, you know everything. This is the beginning of dreaming and from this point you can direct the dream. Trust yourself. Believe in your dreams.

PROCRASTINATE From page 2A significant. As long as what you are doing makes you feel valuable or produces some worthy results, your usurponation is commendable.

This invokes the quality of Faith – faith in your value to the world.

3. Organize other things. When you sort out drawers, fold laundry, clean out your inbox, or shuffle papers on your desk, you are creating a better environment for yourself or those around you.

This kind of usurponation has merit. It is justified because it’s probably only during procrastination times that some of these things get done.

Here you are invoking the quality of Endurance – dutiful and disciplined.

4. Take care of you. Do something good for you – go for a walk, ride your bike, make a home cooked meal, have a massage, listen to good music that fills your soul and lightens your mood.

As long as it is healthy and/or beneficial, you are able to award yourself positive usurponation points.

Being good to yourself invokes the quality of Honor – love yourself and you are free to give love.

5. Re-invent. Use your procrastination time to take a step (or leap forward) toward anything that you want. Create something new. Transform what is and make it better. Paint the front door a color you like, Feng Shui your home or office, plan a surprise for someone, make or create something. To count as “good” usurponation, it must be something you do yourself.

Invoking your Ingenuity affirms your self-reliance.

6. Walk away. Remove yourself from or change something you don’t like. In contrast to stepping up, this form of usurponation must involve action you take to eliminate or avoid something you dislike or that is negative or harmful in some way. Throw out the clothes you like but don’t wear, unsubscribe from the emails that clutter your inbox, get rid of the topless and bottomless tupperwares.

Take a stand on behalf of yourself or others and you invoke the quality of Courage.

7. Feed your mind. Watch a thought-provoking movie, read a bunch of interesting articles, take an online quiz about something you are interested in.

You might even write a “How To” article. To count as worthy usurponation, the activity needs to really engage you, bring or share valuable knowledge or be of real interest to you.

Invoking Consciousness and growing your understanding of the world makes you more competent.

8. Meditate. Genuine meditation or nature contemplation count as valuable usurponation if they truly quiet your mind. The characteristic that makes this usurpation good is that it leaves your spirit light. This is not the same as “veging out” or wallowing in denial, which usually leaves one feeling heavy and lethargic.

This invokes the quality of Enchantment, calming you and bringing harmony.

9. Step up. Explore something new.

Give yourself permission to not succeed and try it anyway. Take a bold step toward fulfilling a desire or dream. Get out of your comfort zone and do something expansive, out of character or just plain exciting! Call a guru up, commit to a half-marathon, find a piano teacher and book a series of lessons. This kind of usurponation is powerful if it gives you a sense of busting out of where you’re at.

Stepping up invokes the quality of Optimism, a can do attitude that includes no judgment.

May the procrastinator in you celebrate this newfound soul food and turn your procrastination into something wonderfully productive and meaningful!

VOTES From page 2A in which a simple popular vote would not serve us well. Consider where we live. Consider that only seven states currently contain more than half of the population: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, Florida, Texas and California. The focus of our vote would effectively rest among these few states. Less than half of us live in Washington, D.C. and the remaining 43.

Also, each state has its own list of concerns and priorities. Imagine the 43 forfeiting these for the preference of the big seven. The popular vote would mean that states would not matter. Imagine a national vote without state borders. Our Founding Fathers had it right when they constructed a mechanism that calls for each state to effectively weigh in.

The popular vote would foster an imbalance of voices (and cultures and values and world-views) that would effectively silence much of America. We need a mechanism that attends to balancing the large with the small while giving credence to the diversity this nation has.

Equal Voice Voting offers the best of solutions without requiring a Constitutional amendment (visit www.equalvoicevoting.com and download the free book analyzing presidential elections from 1980-2012). It’s a simple formula that converts a state’s popular votes into a proportional electoral vote that hews closely to the popular vote, does not disenfranchise voters (as we currently experience), gives each state its independent voice, honors the Founding Fathers’ intent, and acknowledges the grand expanse of this huge nation’s diverse cultures, peoples, values and priorities.

It’s time to initiate legislation on a state-by-state basis so that we can enjoy a vote-capturing system without suffering (or relishing) a sudden November surprise. Suspense is one of the aspects that makes the presidential elections highly intriguing but we should also experience a confidence that translates into a continued pride of country. The exercise of our Electoral College should be a source of such confidence and can be if we simply modify how we count everyone’s vote.

Contact your legislators and ask that they give Equal Voice Voting their strong consideration!

TRUMP From page 3A these groups represented only 8.7 percent of appointees in the last full nonelection year of the George W. Bush Administration. The numbers are also low for diversity in Congress—Latinos and African Americans represent only 3

percent of top Senate staff.

Black Latino U.S. Population 13% 17% GWB Appointments (2007) 4.3% 4.4% Top Senate Staff 0.9% 2.1% This problem transcends political party. For example, African Americans account for only 0.7 percent of top Democratic Senate staff.

We would like to work with you on appointments to address these issues.

Using our extensive networks, our organizations identify and vet top candidates of color (including Republicans and Independents) for federal appointments.

We would like to meet with your transition team to explain our process, and talk about working together moving forward.

Regards, Teresa Chaurand, Latino Victory Foundation (Latino Talent Initiative) Spencer Overton, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies (Black Talent Initiative) LIBRARIES From page 5A "To see a grown man sitting in a kids' chair, playing with his child, or a grandparent doing a puppet show -- it's special. It's gratifying to provide this kind of space, where people can meet, talk to other parents, and learn and grow with their kids."

CLASH From page 7A the lane, prompting them to exit the car, police said. An off-duty police officer at a nearby business joined the scene, while a third official, a uniformed sergeant on his way to work, also pulled over at the stop and drew his weapon.

The argument escalated until officers fired on Beal, who police claim was holding a gun that he refused to drop.

SAVINGS From page 8A and easily get quotes on auto, renters, homeowners and other types of insurance. Compare the rates, coverage and insurance companies to see if switching makes sense for you.

Ask your agent about potential savings if you decide to stick with your current insurer. You might be eligible for discounts you aren’t receiving because the information on file doesn’t reflect your current situation. If not, there are usually discounts for simple purchases, such as a fire extinguisher for your home or an anti-theft device for your car.

Buy products that more than pay for themselves – save hundreds each year. Sometimes you need to spend money to save money. Buying a coffee maker for your home is the cliché example, but that doesn’t mean it’s without merit. Purchasing a water pitcher with a filter rather than bottled water can also lead to immediate savings.

Other purchases are long-term investments. It might take months to break even after buying LED bulbs or upgrading your appliances to energy-efficient models, but after that you could save money on your utility bill each month.

Bottom line. Start your savings effort as soon as possible and you can build your emergency fund, a safety net that can help you avoid stressing about potential financial setbacks. Lowering your monthly cable bill will lead to almost instant savings, while making an investment in energy-efficient appliances will pay off after months or years. Add it all up and in the end you could find that just a bit of effort leads to over $1,000 in annual savings. It’s a great start.

CHOKING From page 9A bit higher than with a normal Heimlich maneuver, at the base of the breastbone, just above the joining of the lowest ribs.

• Proceed as with the Heimlich maneuver, pressing hard into the chest, with a quick thrust.

• Repeat until the food or other blockage is dislodged or the person becomes unconscious.

To clear the airway of an unconscious person: • Lower the person on his or her back onto the floor.

• Clear the airway. If a blockage is visible at the back of the throat or high in the throat, reach a finger into the mouth and sweep out the cause of the blockage.

Be careful not to push the food or object deeper into the airway, which can happen easily in young children.

• Begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the object remains lodged and the person doesn’t respond after you take the above measures. The chest compressions used in CPR may dislodge the object. Remember to recheck the mouth periodically.

To clear the airway of a choking infant younger than age 1: • Assume a seated position and hold the infant facedown on your forearm, which is resting on your thigh.

• Thump the infant gently but firmly five times on the middle of the back using the heel of your hand. The combination of gravity and the back blows should release the blocking object.

• Hold the infant faceup on your forearm with the head lower than the trunk if the above doesn’t work. Using two fingers placed at the center of the infant’s breastbone, give five quick chest compressions.

• Repeat the back blows and chest thrusts if breathing doesn’t resume. Call for emergency medical help.

• Begin infant CPR if one of these techniques opens the airway but the infant doesn’t resume breathing.

• If the child is older than age 1, give abdominal thrusts only.

KAEPERNICK From page 11A Ancestry DNA test where he discovered that his lineage stretched back to Ghana and Nigeria and he said for the first time in his life he had a deep personal connection that stretched far beyond his birth in Milwaukee.

And then he announced to the kids that he had arranged for every child in the room that have their ancestry DNA tests done so that they could experience what he had experienced, but at a much younger age. It was powerful and I can’t wait to hear how it impacts the kids as they begin getting their results back.

And my final thought is this – when people ask you, what is Colin Kaepernick doing other than taking a knee dur-

ing the Star Spangled Banner – let them know that he is inspiring and changing the lives of young people – first in his hometown, but soon, all over the country.

CFPB From page 11A Trade Commission separately received approximately 900,000 consumer complaints on debt collection.

In recent comments to the CFPB, the Center for Responsible Lending advised, “CRL strongly supports the concept that a debt collector must possess a reasonable basis for making a claim that an individual owes a debt . . . . The burden rightfully should be on debt collectors to establish that they have the legal right to collect the debts and are collecting from the right people, for the right amount of money.”

For Lisa Stifler, CRL’s deputy director of state policy, the joint action taken

by New York’s Attorney General and CFPB is representative of what should happen more often to better protect all consumers.

“Consumers need the protection of both state officials and CFPB to rid the marketplace of bad actors and illegal debt collection practices. It’s an encouraging sign that one of our most populous states is working in concert with CFPB to end financial abuse. It’s an example worth emulating by other states.”

Saturday, November 26 Zion I at SOhO Restaurant and Music Club. This duo of genre-bender pride has made a name for itself on the Bay Area scene by successfully mixing spiritualism and hip-hop. Oakland’s MC Zumbi and DJ/producer Amp Live blend hip-hop and trip-hop beats with lyrics focused on a message of unity, hope, and spiritual awareness. Although Zion I operates out of Berkeley, the pair originally met in Atlanta, making their music difficult to classify as strictly West Coast hip-hop. Their musical style makes them even harder to define. With a style that borrows from hip-hop, trance, drum’n’bass, and reggae, Zion I’s style is equally mystical and mystifying. Show time is 9 p.m. Tickets are $17.50-$22.

The event is for ages 21 and over. SOhO Restaurant and Music Club is located at 1221 State St., in Santa Barbara. For more information, call (805) 962-7776.

Totten cense. Simi Valley resident Juvenita Perez Mejia, Santa Paula resident Maria Ponce De Leon Reyes, Simi Valley resident Raymundo Perez Sandoval, and Los Angeles resident Deisy Magalay Flores Portrero were arrested for selling dangerous drugs without a license.

The vendors were cited and released for misdemeanor violations of California Health and Safety Code 11352.1(b). They are scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on December 2, 2016, at 8:30 a.m.

Around the Tri-Counties UCSB Arts & Lectures presents the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

SANTA BARBARA -UCSB Arts & Lectures presents the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, back by popular demand to performing a special holiday show on Thurs., Dec. 15, at 8 p.m. at UCSB Campbell Hall.

Ring in the holidays with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, the worldrenowned all-singing, allplucking ukulele superstars.

This Santa Barbara favorite is adding holiday cheer to their toe-tapping music, hilarious banter and superlative entertainment. And the audience is invited to join in on the fun! Play and sing along with the band that has entertained British royalty, jammed with George Harri-

son, rocked out at Glastonbury Festival and sold out Carnegie Hall. With the Ukes’ infectious spirit, the whole house will soon be rocking along in this festive celebration.

The Ukes’extensive repertoire explores American folk and blues, heavy metal, bebop, jazz, punk, reggae, electronic dance music and even Chinese melodies gleaned from their 2014 tour of China. They are best known for playing versions of famous rock songs and film themes, often with surprising changes to tempo or genre.

Throughout its 30 year career, the Ukes have performed for audiences around the world, including mem-

bers of the British Royal Family and other crowned heads of Europe and at the Houses of Parliament in London. They have toured Europe, the U.S. and China.

When the band formed in 1985, its members were experienced in many kinds of music but had become tired of the conditions of the music business, conventions of performance and genre stereotyping. They started their orchestra, consisting entirely of ukuleles in different sizes, with the intention of making something fresh and entertaining, both modern and old-fashioned and in a style that deviated from contemporary trends.

Today, many of the ukulele players they meet on their travels attribute their inspiration to the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

During their rollicking holiday show, the Ukes will ask the audience to add to the music by inviting them to participate in a ukulele play and to sing along from their seats. They will be posting video tutorials and music to practice at home, suitable for all abilities. No ukulele? No problem! Everyone will be able to join in, if not playing the ukulele, then singing.

Tickets are $35-$50 for the general public and $15 for UCSB students (valid student ID required).

For tickets and more information, call UCSB Arts & Lectures at (805) 8933535 or visit www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu.

CI Social Business Innovation Challenge has teams racing against the clock

Camarillo — With the clock ticking, several teams of five or six players will race to build a prototype designed to make the world a better place.

The catch? They won’t know what they’re building or the building materials they will be using until minutes before the “Ready, set, go!”

It’s called the CSU Channel Islands (CI) California Institute for Social Business (CISB) Innovation Challenge and it’s scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Grand Salon on the CI campus.

“This is the third time we’ve done this,” said CI’s CISB Executive Director Susan Andrzejewski, an Associate Professor of Marketing.

“The teams come together to compete in a rally-style com-

petition to assemble a social business prototype from a standard set of supplies that we provide.”

Social business is a business that addresses a social need while also making a profit.

The materials are not fancy. Last year, for example, teams were challenged to build something that would help with access to clean water. The materials they were given included a bucket of rocks, plywood, duct tape, glue, Astroturf, aluminum foil and rubber bands.

Two carpenters will be on hand to do any sawing the teams need, but the rest of the challenge will depend on innovation, creativity and teamwork.

Students, faculty and staff from any discipline or department are welcome

to sign up, which provides a healthy spectrum of different skills, ages and perspectives.

“I hope they take away the excitement that comes about when working as a team to solve a challenge,” Andrzejewski said. “We talk a lot about theory in classes, and it’s incredibly valuable for students to be able to take that knowledge and use it to move from problem identification through an idea phase to a tangible quality end product.”

There’s a tangible prize, too. The first prize team splits $1,000, second prize is $500 and third prize is $250.

CI students, faculty and staff can participate by registering at go.csuci.edu/ innovation.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 043235-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.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien 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 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.

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) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 045989-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 prop-

erty. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 035320-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.

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: 12/14/2016 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR OF VENTURA COUNTY 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: December 7, 2016 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Center.

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.

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 postpone-

ments 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 15-39452.

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 property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

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

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

lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction. com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0700057816-1. 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.

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.

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: December 21, 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 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.

Gold Coast Wind Ensemble Presents the 26th Fall Concert at the Scherr Forum Theatre

Sunday, November 20 at 2:30 p.m. at the Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., in Thousand Oaks Beginning in the summer of 1990, several meetings by a handful of musicians produced the concept of a professional-level wind orchestra in Ventura County. Named the Gold Coast Wind Ensemble, a call for accomplished musicians went out and the first rehearsal was held in January 1991. Among the co-founders, Clint Dawley was selected as conductor and Michael Doty as associate conductor. The all-volunteer organization has two primary goals: first, to provide a challenging musical experience for fine local musicians and second, to enhance the artistic life in Ventura County. To this end, the organization is based on the principle of fine performance of quality concert band and wind ensemble repertoire. Due to the demanding nature of the musical literature, membership in the Gold Coast Wind Ensemble is by invitation and audition. Tickets are $22. For more information, call (805) 449-2787.

All events are subject to change. To have your event listed in the Community Calendar, please fax to (805) 983-0018 or email sentry1234@ aol.com. Please include “Attention: Community Calendar” with your fax or email. Deadline for submission is Friday by 5 p.m.

Friday, November 25 and Saturday, November 26 at 1559 Spinnaker Drive, Suite 205, in Ventura Using his experiences growing up in Newark, Bill Bellamy started doing stand-up while he was a student at Rutgers University. Bellamy quickly discovered how much he enjoyed making people laugh, and began honing his skills at small comedy clubs around the country and was soon making waves in the New York clubs like The Improv, The Comic Strip, and at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. Show time is 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Friday and 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $25. There is a two item minimum. The show is for ages 18 and over.

Saturday, November 26 at 9 p.m. at 1221 State St., in Santa Barbara Zion I at SOhO Restaurant and Music Club. This duo of genrebender pride has made a name for itself on the Bay Area scene by successfully mixing spiritualism and hip-hop. Oakland’s MC Zumbi and DJ/producer Amp Live blend hip-hop and trip-hop beats with lyrics focused on a message of unity, hope, and spiritual awareness.

Although Zion I operates out of Berkeley, the pair originally met in Atlanta, making their music difficult to classify as strictly West Coast hip-hop. Their musical style makes them even harder to define. With a style that borrows from hip-hop, trance, drum’n’bass, and reggae, Zion I’s style is equally mystical and mystifying. Tickets are $17.50$22. The event is for ages 21 and over. For more information, call (805) 962-7776.
