Educating Black students in the New Jim Crow Era

American Airlines CEO sees opportunity in NAACP criticism

By David Koenig

Policy experts discuss educating Black students in the New Jim Crow Era

The CEO of American Airlines said Thursday he is looking forward to company representatives meeting with the NAACP to discuss the civil rights group’s charge that carrier has a culture of racial insensitivity.

The NAACP earlier this week warned African-Americans that if they fly on American, they may face discrimination or even safety issues.

CEO Doug Parker said his first reaction to the NAACP’s charge was, “How can that be true of us?” He described the airline as having “a diverse and open environment and organization.”

But he says he now sees a chance to improve the airline.

“Once you get past that, this is a fantastic opportunity because we want to get better,” Parker told reporters during a call to discuss the company’s  NAACP, see page 7

95-year-old Black judge celebrates 50 years on federal bench

Fats Domino, Rock ‘n’ Roll pioneer, dead at 89

By Stacy Brown Fats Domino, the rock pioneer who inspired Elvis Presley, the Beatles and countless other superstars, died Wednesday at his home in Harvey, Louisiana. He was 89.

Mark Bone, chief investigator for the Jefferson Parish coroner’s office, told NPR that Domino died of natural causes.

Born Antoine Domino, the “Architect of Rock ‘n’ Roll” enjoyed a career spanning five decades that included more than 25 gold singles and 65 million records sold. His massive vault of hits includes “Blueberry Hill,” “I’m Walking,” “Ain’t That a Shame” and “I’m Walking to New Orleans.”  Fats Domino, see page 3

Judge Damon J. Keith thinks back on his 50 years on the federal bench and remembers many tumultuous and significant times, including being sued by President Richard Nixon after ruling that wiretapping couldn’t be done without a court order.

The 95-year-old from Detroit, the only African-American among six current federal judges who have served 50 or more years according to the

Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, still hears cases about four times a year at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. His approach—in or out of the spotlight, on or off the bench—is the same: Fight for the Constitution, not with each other.

“Just treat everyone with dignity,” said Keith, who will be honored at a gala Saturday in Detroit for reaching the halfcentury mark.

The phrase “Equal justice under law,” which is etched onto the U.S. Supreme

President Donald Trump just delivered two more gut punches to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in an ongoing effort to knock out President Barack Obama’s legacy.

Ford Motor Company enables African-Americans in STEAM careers at HBCUs

By Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. There is no debate about the continuing historic importance and strategic mission and purpose of the nation’s 120-plus Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). During the 2017 homecoming festivities that are now occurring on HBCU campuses across the nation, I believe it is also important to salute and recognize the companies that financially contribute to the success of HBCUs.  HBCU, see page 3

Rep. Barbara Lee calls Trump’s Obamacare Executive Order ‘Spiteful. Destructive. Cruel.’ with higher premiums or priced out completely, the White House also announced plans to discontinue the health insurance subsidies that made it easier for low-income people to access quality health care.

Now many health-care advocates fear that those gains will be lost as Trump continues to slash key provisions of the ACA.

The White House press secretary issued a statement that said there is no appropriation for cost-sharing-reduction payments to insurance companies under Obamacare.

“The bailout of insurance companies through these unlawful payments is yet another example of how the previous administration abused taxpayer dollars and skirted the law to prop up a broken system,” the statement reads. “Congress  Obamacare, see page 7

NEWS Companies are looking for diverse ad teams to avoid blunders

By Alexandra Olson CoverGirl executive Ukonwa Ojo was struck when the team from an ad agency entered the room to pitch ideas for revamping the cosmetic company’s image. For the first time in Ojo’s more than 20year career in business, she found herself working with an African-American creative director.

T

HAT meeting would ultimately result in a marketing campaign that challenges conventional ideas about beauty. It features celebrity women from a spectrum of races, ages and professions, including Issa Rae of HBO’s “Insecure,” motorcycle racer Shelina Moreda, celebrity chef Ayesha Curry and dietitian Maye Musk, 69.

“To have an African-American creative director walk in the room and present this to me, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, this is amazing,”’ said Ojo, who is Nigerian-American. “I think we can see the power of the work because of that.”

Diversity in the advertising industry is becoming a higher priority for consumer product companies as they try to reach a new generation of customers with evolving sensibilities on ethnicity, age, gender and sexuality.

Many companies have come to believe that having people with a variety of backgrounds in the room can not only produce a smarter marketing

campaign but also help avoid the kind of blunders Kellogg and Dove were recently accused of in today’s politically combustible environment.

Despite efforts by Madison Avenue to ramp up recruiting of minorities, just 7 percent of the 67,000 people working as advertising and promotion managers in the U.S. in 2016 were AfricanAmerican, less than 5 percent were Hispanic, and about 1 percent were of Asian descent, according to the U.S. Labor Department. Women accounted for about 56 percent of managers in the industry.

In the case of CoverGirl’s makeover, which replaced the company’s familiar “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful” tagline with “I Am What I Makeup,” the team from the ad agency Droga5 had two black creative directors, Shannon Washington and Ray Smiling.

“The team that worked on this idea and this campaign came from very different backgrounds—from a male and female point of view, different races, different ages,” Droga5 CEO Sarah Thompson said. “I think that more than before, what’s important is getting that narrative, that story, right and really pressure-testing. Is it authentic? Is there anything that is going to be misinterpreted?”

On Wednesday, Kellogg apologized after the artwork on its Corn Pops cereal boxes was attacked as racist. The box shows cartoon Corn Pops hanging out in a mall. The only brown one depicted is a janitor scrubbing the floor.

Dove was similarly criticized earlier this month over a commercial for a body wash. A short version of the video on Facebook showed a black

woman taking off her shirt to reveal a white woman, who then removed her top to reveal a woman with a brown complexion. Social media users accused Dove of suggesting black skin is dirty.

legislative conference.

Both Brown and Horsford, longtime friends, said the majority of public schools are now non-White. The proliferation of charter and alternative schools has also chipped away at the effectiveness of public schools.

The federal government has played such a major role in shaping education policy and schools now mostly prepare African Americans for prison, not college, Brown said.

“The school’s structure that’s used is that they teach our kids how to stand in a straight line, to raise their hands when they have to go to the bathroom…you do that in prison, so that’s the training they’re getting,” Brown said.

He then quoted what he said was a prophetic statement made by W.E.B. Du Bois 57 years ago. “[African American] teachers will become rarer and in many cases will disappear,” Brown said quoting Du Bois, noting that the prediction has come to pass.

Brown continued, quoting Du Bois: “[African American] children will be instructed in public schools and taught under unpleasant if not discouraging circumstances. Even more largely than

today, they will fall out of school, cease to enter high school, and fewer and fewer will go to college.”

Horsford, like the other panelists, said no one should be surprised, because, after all, resegregation has occurred and education is the “new civil rights in the new Jim Crow.”

“We shouldn’t operate from the assumption that our schools are broken,” she said. “They are doing exactly what they were designed to do, which is to sift and sort children into different categories for economic reasons.”

Horsford added that African Americans must tap the potential, possibilities and gifts of the young people who truly hold the answers to society’s pressing problems.

Even educators have suffered and are poorly valued in a system guided by high-stakes testing and performancebased accountability, Horsford said.

“We have to engage in parallel efforts…we need to reimagine schools and school systems that support everyone,” said Horsford. “We also have to make sure that, in the meantime, we are preparing students to not only survive, but also thrive in an era of extreme inequality.”

The wiretapping ruling against Nixon and Attorney General John Mitchell also came in 1971. Keith said they couldn’t engage in the warrantless wiretapping of three people suspected of conspiring to destroy government property. The decision was affirmed by the appellate court, and the Nixon administration appealed and sued Keith personally.

“That’s why I had to get a lawyer to represent me before the Supreme Court.

And they affirmed me unanimously,” Keith said.

Keith remembered the wiretapping case going smoothly at first. He invited the attorneys for the U.S. government and the defendants, who were part of a group of white supporters of civil rights seen as radical by some and called the White Panthers, to his office. The defendants’ lawyers had been held in contempt of court by a Chicago judge, and Keith assured them things would be different with him.

“I served them coffee and doughnuts, we sat down, and I said, ‘Now, in this court we’re going to treat you men with dignity. When you get up to speak,

the court will hear you and we’ll have a rebuttal by the other side, I’ll make a ruling and we’ll move on,”’ Keith recalled.

Keith rose to chief judge in 1975.

President Jimmy Carter appointed him to the appeals court two years later.

As an appellate judge, he ruled against another president, George W. Bush, saying he couldn’t conduct secret deportation hearings of terrorism suspects. Keith’s 2002 opinion contained the line, “Democracies die behind closed doors.” A similar phrase is now the slogan of The Washington Post, which has credited Keith.

Not all of Keith’s memories are about landmark cases. He recalled a case in which a defendant didn’t want to stand for a judge. Keith allowed the man to enter the courtroom after Keith was seated and then be escorted out before the judge adjourned.

Keith is just as committed to equal rights now as he has always been, said Peter Hammer, director of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Detroit’s Wayne State University.

Jim Crow continued from page 1

“We are here to revisit old discussions and bring fresh ideas,” Tillman said. “Jim Crow has affected Blacks in so many ways. Black education is a right [that’s] not solely based on White norms.”

Panelist Terri Watson, a City College of New York (CCNY) educator and cocreator of the CCNY-based “Growing Our Own Doctor’s Project,” said that there’s not only a need for better education, but that there’s also a need for safer communities for Black students.

“We have to focus on creating space where kids are informed and active, that’s important,” Watson said. “We have to let the kids know that the world is waiting for them, they’re up next and we have to change their mindset that the world views them as disposable.”

Rodney Hopson, a professor and associate dean of education psychology at George Mason University, Sonya Douglass Horsford, an associate professor of education leadership at the Teachers College at Columbia University, and M. Christopher Brown II, the president of Kentucky State University also participated in the panel that took place during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual

own right by then, was appointed to the federal bench.

He recalled Marshall saying, “The white men wrote those four words.

When you leave Howard, I want you to go out and practice law and see what you can do to enforce those four words.”

“And that’s what I’ve tried to do,” Keith said last week at Detroit’s historic federal court building, where he’s had an office since President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the federal district court 50 years ago.

In 1970, Keith ordered a bus policy and new boundaries in the Pontiac, Michigan, school district to break up racial segregation.

A year later, he made another groundbreaking decision, finding that Hamtramck, Michigan, illegally destroyed black neighborhoods in the name of urban renewal with the federal government’s help. The remedy was 200 housing units for blacks. The court case is still alive decades later due to disputes over property taxes and the slow pace of construction.

Dove pulled the video, while Kellogg said new artwork for the cereal box will soon reach stores. Neither Unilever, the company that owns Dove, nor Kellogg has said who was behind the content.

Other brands, including Pepsi, Gap and Nivea, have faced similar controversies.

Ojo, who before joining CoverGirl was senior global director at Unilever, said her former company “always had

the best intentions,” but “as humans we always have the opportunities to make a mistake.” She added: “It can minimize the chances if you have the right people around the table.”

Having more diversity around the table is seen as a safeguard at a time when companies are under pressure to produce lots of video and other marketing content quickly and cheaply for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, often with no time to test everything out on focus groups.

“In the good old days, you would have the time to take your TV ad or print campaign and do further testing.

You would see how they are rating A and B ad,” said Gene Fischer, senior vice president of media innovation at Publicis Health Media. “The world of social media doesn’t allow for that.”

Aside from trying to diversify their own ranks, some marketers are turning for help to small agencies that cater to specific ethnic groups. Being Latino, a social media marketing company, has crafted ads for Bud Light, Snickers and Coca-Cola.

“My entire company, every employee comes from the culture that we are trying to appeal to,” said Being Latino founder Lance Rios. “We know the do’s and the don’ts.”

Tiffany R. Warren, chief diversity officer at Omnicom, the parent of the some of the nation’s biggest advertising agencies, got her start in 1997 through an industry program to recruit top minority students out of college. Since then, however, she has often been the only black woman in the room.

“I know my presence in the room had led to a lot of meaningful conversations and led to creative products that were more culturally sensitive,” said Warren, who is also founder of the nonprofit group ADCOLOR, which promotes diversity in the creative fields.

NEWS HBCU

continued from page 1

The Ford Motor Company has had a long track record of contributing to HBCUs that spans more than 30 years.

Thus, it was noteworthy when Ford recently launched its “Drive2Greatness” initiative to support science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM) programs at HBCUs. We concur, that STEAM careers are vital and in high demand in today’s global economy. The clear majority of African American college students, who complete their course of studies in STEAM fields graduate from HBCUs. Thanks to the Ford Motor Company and the Tom Joyner Morning Show, the “Drive2Greatness” initiative is off to a great start.

According to “Raj” Register at Ford’s multicultural communications, “For more than three decades, Ford has been committed to implementing and supporting initiatives that encourage and inspire young people to pursue and succeed in STEAM careers…with the launch of our inaugural ‘Drive2Greatness’ program, we’re excited to extend that commitment to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities and their STEAM programs.”

The competition among HBCUs to win prizes in the Drive2Greatness program involves earning points through online voting at the Facebook page of the Tom Joyner Morning Show that includes using a Ford-dedicated hashtag via social media platforms. I just voted for my HBCU, Howard University, using the hashtag #FordHowardU. Howard University has a diverse array of many key STEAM academic disciplines. Make sure that you vote for your HBCU today.

Last year, the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) awarded Tom Joyner our 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding national broadcast leadership and his dedication to our nation’s HBCUs. Ford selected the right national radio partner and outstanding leader in Tom Joyner. Our African American college students do need more support, encouragement and engagement, particularly with respect to STEAM careers.

The Ford Motor Company and the Tom Joyner Morning Show deserve our salute and tribute, because, together they are helping to make a positive difference in our communities and with our HBCUs. Driving toward greatness necessitates adequate preparation and attaining a quality education.

Drive2Greatness is timely given the increasing demand for STEAM college graduates in the current expanding economy.

Dr. Lezli Baskerville is the President and CEO of the National Association for Equality Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), the umbrella organization of all of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Predominantly Black Institutions. Dr. Baskerville stated, “The Drive2Greatness program by the Ford Motor Company and the Tom Joyner Morning Show is an effective model on how to encourage STEAM careers. NAFEO is proud of what our HBCUs are accomplishing in these transformative fields of study.”

Our most precious resource in our communities is our youth, who are gifted and talented and also need more opportunities like the Ford Motor Company’s initiative on STEAM.

Fats Domino continued from page 1

His unique playing style and unmistakable voice helped Domino to produce the first rock ‘n’ roll record to ever sell more than 1 million copies with the 1949 hit “The Fat Man,” a song he both produced and co-wrote.

Billy Diamond, his road manager, referred to him as “Fats” because the name was a symbol of importance, according to Domino’s website.

In 1986, Domino received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and was later inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. On

November 5, 1998, at the White House, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts from then President Bill Clinton.

By their own admission, Domino’s influence played heavily in the careers of Presley and the Beatles.

Domino reportedly was held in such high esteem that Presley refused to answer to his popular moniker, “The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” when Domino was present.

As in a 2004 interview with AXS, Domino recounted the first time he met Presley.

“I was playing at the Flamingo

Hotel [in Las Vegas] and I went to his room and played for him.

He used to call me ‘Mr. Blueberry Hill,’” Domino said. “I remember him telling me, ‘You know, Fats, I’m opening up tomorrow but when I first came here I flopped.’ I guess the first time he didn’t do good at all, but after he got back there it was all good because I was working there too, and every night it was sold out.”

In 1969, Presley returned to live performances after joining the military and when a reporter referred to him as the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll” during a press conference, Presley

pointed to Domino, who was in the room, noting that Domino was “one of my influences from way back.”

Domino’s influence on the Beatles was noted when Paul McCartney wrote “Blue Monday,” a 1958 hit in which he credited the New Orleans native. Domino was married to Rosemary Hall for 60 years and the two had eight children.

“Fats Domino, another gift from New Orleans,” Rev. Jesse Jackson tweeted in tribute to Domino. “An entertainer and caring man, he gave us many thrills on the ride to freedom.”

Domino returned to Roanoke in 1972 to perform at the Caesar’s Club, on Townside Road Southwest, off Franklin Road. Roanoke band The Vikings opened the show, thenband member Tommy Holcomb remembered.

“I remember Fats as being a downto-earth, kind man,” Holcomb wrote

in an e-mail exchange. “I actually have some 8 mm footage of the night, including a shot of my then-wife Rita and another pretty lady sitting on Fats’ lap, with all three laughing. I also filmed Fats singing at the piano.

A bit frustrating to watch, because there’s no sound!”

And nary a bottle thrown.

Fats Domino’s career included ‘racial disturbance’ in 1956

By Tad Dickens Nostalgia was the rule on Wednesday, as news emerged that Antoine “Fats” Domino, the New Orleans singer, pianist and rock ‘n’ roll pioneer, had died at 89.

Yet Domino’s career, including iconic numbers “Ain’t That A Shame” and “Walking To New Orleans,” included bleaker episodes. The songwriter and performer saw multiple doses of mid-1950s racial violence— including a Roanoke melee.

In May 1956, the same year he released his career-defining hit, a cover of “Blueberry Hill,” Domino headlined a show at the American Legion Auditorium.

As was typical in the Jim Crow-era South, it was considered a “negro” show. Whites were admitted to the auditorium’s balcony for a rhythm & blues concert that included Little Richard, Portsmouth-born Ruth Brown and The Cadillacs.

In the book “Just My Soul Responding: Rhythm And Blues, Black Consciousness And Race ...,” Brian Ward wrote that the balcony was too small for the 2,000 whites who came to the show.

“Some sought to escape the crush by moving down to the less densely packed main floor.”

Black and white people shared space on the bleachers below, and some danced together, Ward wrote.

By 1:15 a.m. as Domino was closing his set, the trouble began.

Someone threw a bottle from the balcony, then people on both floors began hurling glass at each other. The violence continued outside.

Under the headline, “Racial Disturbance Climaxes Dance,” The Roanoke Times reported that all police on duty were called to the auditorium to join about a dozen off-duty officers who had been hired as security.

“There were many bruised and cut heads, it was reported, but so far as was known, the only person treated

“ ”

There were many bruised and cut heads, it was reported, but so far as was known, the only person treated at a hospital was (a Virginia) Tech student.

The Roanoke Times

at a hospital was (a Virginia) Tech student,” the Times reported. “Police reported seeing numerous persons leaving with bloody heads or hands.”

Police noted “several fist fights” between whites and blacks on the streets around the auditorium that stood on the site of the Hotel Roanoke parking lot.

Two fighters struggled to reach a nearby loaded automatic pistol.

Neither man claimed the gun, and police seized it, the Times said. At least five people, white and black, were arrested.

By year’s end, Domino shows at a Newport, Rhode Island, naval base and at Army town Fayetteville, North Carolina, ended in violence.

After a dozen black and white sailors were hospitalized after fighting at the enlisted men’s club in Rhode Island, the base commander “immediately imposed a moratorium on rock and roll” and banned glass bottles, Ward wrote.

Domino, who “as a seasoned veteran of such brawls had taken refuge under the piano during the chaos,” said later that the glass bottles made “frighteningly effective missiles,” Ward wrote.

The Roanoke incident sparked discussion of barring whites from black dances, the Times reported.

The city took no such action, but within days the American Legion facility banned race mixing at its shows.

The fighting also inspired the earliest calls in the city for a biracial committee to deal with integration.

OPED

Children and the opiod crisis

By Marian Wright Edelman President Trump’s announcement recently reminded us all that the opioid crisis is a public health emergency, but in fact it is also a national emergency and we must do so much more.

Daily we read articles and see searing reports about the opioid crisis. We’ve learned about the role of some doctors and drug companies in exacerbating it.

W

E heard recently about how Congress was complicit in making it harder for the Drug Enforcement Administration to stop drug companies that were shipping suspicious amounts of opioids. We read about parents whose young adult sons and daughters end up in prison and who are desperate for treatment for loved ones. We keep learning more about the variety of opioids including heroin and extremely potent synthetic opioids like fentanyl coming from China. We read about the toll the continuing crisis and all the deaths are taking on first responders, police, treatment staff, nurses and doctors, families and grandparents being asked to step in to help. But we don’t read enough about its toll on children.

For the last two decades people across our nation have helplessly watched this rapidly escalating epidemic destroy families and entire communities. Most of us know some person or family in our community suffering from the impact of substance abuse disorder.

Over 2.5 million Americans were addicted to opioid pain relievers or heroin in 2015. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports opioid-related deaths have more than quadrupled since 1999. Prescription and illicit opioids combined have killed more than 300,000 Americans since 2000.

Ninety-one Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. This catastrophe of opioid addiction and deaths has fueled a heartbreaking increase of children in crisis.

From the earliest days of pregnancy children whose parents abuse opioids are at high risk. In addition to prenatal drug exposure, parents distracted by drugs and without help may be unable to provide children necessary care to grow and thrive. Children and teens are also susceptible to accidental opioid exposure and misuse.

Whether children are born suffering from drug exposure, their parents’ addiction struggle leads to toxic stress or involvement with the child welfare

system, or they use or are accidentally exposed to drugs themselves, opioid addiction has a devastating impact.

There is much renewed interest in the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACEs) which tracks the impact of stressful and traumatic experiences on children’s later and adult development. Parental substance abuse is one of these ACEs as are emotional and physical abuse and separation from family which put children at risk of lifelong consequences.

Among women who struggle with opioid abuse, 86 percent of pregnancies are unintended, compared with 56 percent of all pregnancies. This means children are more likely to receive insufficient or delayed prenatal care and are at risk of low birthweight and poor mental and physical health.

Between 14 and 22 percent of women nationwide fill an opioid medication prescription during pregnancy. This puts thousands of infants at risk of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), problems stemming from drug withdrawal symptoms which occur in about half of infants with prenatal opioid exposure. In 2012 the maternal opioid use rate in hospitalized births in rural counties was nearly 70 percent higher than that in urban counties.

By 2012, an infant was born with NAS on average every 25 minutes in the United States. Across 28 states, the NAS rate increased by almost 300 percent between 1999 and 2013. NAS-affected infants are at greater risk of premature birth, low birthweight, sleep and growth problems, tremors, and seizures.

NAS costs $93,400 per infant in hospital charges on average and the average hospital stay for an infant with NAS is 23 days. Medicaid covered about 80 percent of the estimated $1.5 billion tab for NASrelated hospital charges in 2012.

Opioid poisonings in toddlers and preschoolers 1 to 4 years old increased 205 percent between 1997 and 2012.

Opioid poisonings increased 165 percent among all youths under 19 with younger children and older adolescents most at risk.

The teen death rate from drug overdoses that had been declining since 2007 reversed in 2015 when nationwide 772 teens 15-19 years old died. Rates were highest for opioid drugs, specifically heroin.

The opioid crisis marks the third wave of widespread drug abuse over several decades, following the crack cocaine epidemic and the methamphetamine crisis (which has seen a resurgence in some states with the opioid epidemic). All have severely impacted children and families. But veteran child welfare professionals say the opioid epidemic has had the worst impact on child welfare systems they have seen.

After years of decline, the number of children in foster care has been rising steadily since 2012. In 2015, 427,901 children were in foster care. Anecdotal evidence and expert opinion link this to the parallel rise in parental opioid addiction and overdose.

In 2014 over 40 percent of children in relative foster homes were there because of parental substance use.

Relatives (often grandparents) also care for children outside formal foster care to avoid placement in “the system,” as they refer to it.

Sharon McDaniel, President and CEO of A Second Chance, Inc. in Pennsylvania, told the Senate Special Committee on Aging earlier this year about the significant increases in children being cared for by relatives and shared the story of a 62-year-old grandmother with a successful career at Verizon who was suddenly asked

to care for her five grandchildren due to her daughter-in-law’s opioid addition. Unfortunately she ended up losing her job and had to rely on the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program and help from her faith community to raise her grandchildren in her onebedroom apartment. A recent report

by Generations United, In Loving Arms, describes the protective role of grandparents and other relatives raising children exposed to trauma.

For each child raised by a relative inside the formal foster care system 20 more live with relatives in informal arrangements.

Nearly a third of children entering foster care in 2015 were due at least in part to parental drug abuse – an increase of nearly 50 percent since 2005. Some states report parental substance abuse as a factor in over 60 percent of child placement cases.

Neglect, the finding in 75 percent of child abuse and neglect cases and the leading reason for foster care entry, is often a result of substance abuse. Because parental substance abuse is a voluntary collection item in our national data system and inconsistently recorded, child welfare professionals believe the true percentage of children removed from homes for substance abuse is higher than reported.

Children in households where parents struggle with substance abuse are more likely to experience long-term effects of neglect or abuse than other children. This early trauma exposure makes them more

likely to suffer later mental health disorders including substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Some physicians report an increase in child and teen suicides they link to the opioid crisis.

Children can’t fix this crisis and desperately need adults to act to stem this epidemic. As the youngest victims wait they need physical, social, and emotional resources and supports to help them cope and move forward. The Washington Post asked the right question – “What kind of a childhood is that?” – in its title to a moving story about three siblings in West Virginia, two in their teens and a ten-year-old, who lost both parents to heroin overdoses. More must be done now.

Steps were taken in the Protecting Our Infants Act of 2015 and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016, but significantly greater investments are needed. Medicaid is a lifeline for treatment opportunities for addiction and must be maintained. It is hypocritical to declare the opioid crisis a public health emergency while trying relentlessly to slash the major lifeline for that emergency’s victims. All continuing attempts to end Medicaid as we know it must be fought back. The Final Report of the Commission on Combating Drug Abuse and the Opioid Crisis is scheduled to be submitted to the President on November 1st. While its charge is enormous, it must address the tragic plight of children and the special needs of pregnant women, parents, young and schoolage children, and teens. Communitybased prevention and treatment, including residential programs for parents and their children together, is essential. Criminal justice reforms also must recognize the special needs of parents and the importance and urgency of maintaining parentchild connections either at home or in kin or foster care settings. Too many children of parents struggling with opioids will start life with odds stacked against them. Their urgent needs must be met now.

Vietnam-The worst years of our lives – Part III

By Harry Alford This war had a physical span of 10 years. From 1965 – 1975 when we fled from the complex as if it were a plague.

U.S. civilians, state department employees and Vietnamese seeking to flee from the ongoing North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops moving quickly towards Saigon which they renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

President Gerald Ford stepped up with much courage and leadership when he did what none of the other previous two presidents would do.

We got out of Vietnam. Suddenly, the madness was over - or so we thought.

There are 58,220 names on our Vietnam Memorial Wall. This is, in fact, a small portion of the mental and physical damage done to American veterans because of this conflict.

PTSD, mental agony, drug addiction, widows/widowers and orphans caused by this ill-gotten conflict are perhaps too many to count.

A lot of it is based on the racial animus which plagued our society/ nation at the time. One big reason for this was the discriminatory process used by our Selective Service System at the time. The “Draft” as it was called was anything but a level playing field. The vast amount of Vietnam Era Veterans who served were not there because of equal opportunity. Many were there because of their economic

status, educational level, and race.

Up until the time that all draft deferments would become very, very limited many of the young men being selected for the Draft were from meager means, lack political influence and, sorry to say, were racially discriminated against.

A common deferment at the time was the student deferment. If you were a full-time student in college you could be exempt from being drafted into the Army. Local selective service boards would be on the lookout for students who would pause in their college matriculation. When detected a former student would be notified of his new eligibility and get drafted immediately. As this process went on, increasingly it appeared that the “level playing field” was no longer in existence.

One blazing example of this was my first cousin, George McConnell.

George had it “going on”. He was a fantastic basketball small forward who played at the prestigious Washington High School in Los Angeles. He became a scholarship recipient to UCLA. It was going so great! My cousin was going to play for the legendary coach John Wooden.

Shortly after he started matriculating he and a few others were pulled over by campus police and were charged with marijuana possession. Coach

Wooden was known for his no tolerance. George lost his scholarship.

Almost, instantly George was now in the Army.

The change and shock was too much for my cousin. While at Ft. Polk, Louisiana he became disciplined and eventually court martialed. None of us knew what was going on until one-day George was seen walking down a road near my Aunt Estelle’s home outside of Shreveport, Louisiana wearing only slacks and a short sleeve shirt (in 16-degree weather). It didn’t take much to see that he was suffering from a nervous breakdown. Once we got him back home in Los Angeles

we found that he was imprisoned in an Army stockade and eventually court martialed and dishonorably discharged from the US Army.

He was then committed to Camarillo State Hospital which was a mental institution outside of Los Angeles. His mental state never really improved. When I would visit him, he would tell me of the beatings he would get within the Army stockade and then the subsequent “electrical shock therapy” they would administer him at the state hospital.

Camarillo was an institution such as that portrayed in the movie, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. After staying there awhile the chances of his improvement would be none.

Camarillo and other such places were closed by 1997. It is now a state university in the California system.

After my graduation from the University of Wisconsin, I was immediately drafted into the U.S. Army as there were no longer deferments given to students and I pulled the draft lottery number of 4.

Which meant I was going in. I applied for Officer Candidate School, was accepted, and graduated as Company Commander of my class, OCS – 3/72, at Ft. Benning, GA. While doing my duty as a Finance and Accounting Officer, I was appointed a new “part time”

position. I became a “Race Relations Instructor”. The racial tensions in the military were reaching a “fever pitch”.

The Army trained a bunch of us Black officers to become part time liaisons at the bases we were assigned. Such a distinction would make us negotiators in sensitive situations concerning the discipline of enlisted troops and any racial implications.

The tragedy of my cousin, George, would forever remain on my mind.

I would feel good stepping into controversial disciplinary actions of Black enlisted troops. In reflection, I am proud to say that I saved more than a few young Black soldiers from the harsh unforgiving discipline of military life. I even turned some “bad heads” around and they ended up officers in the end. I prevented many from harsh discipline including Dishonorable Discharges.

With God as my witness, I helped level the playing field more than a few times.

Unfortunately, many thousands did not get this chance and emulated George’s experience.

George died this last January. He is doing fine in Heaven now.

OPED

Why did the Russians try to deliver ‘dirt’ on Hillary Clinton to the Trump campaign-three times? And what did Fusion GPS know about it? Was the Trump campaign being set up?

By Robert Romano Meetings set up with Trump campaign officials.

Promises of dirt on Hillary Clinton being offered by the Russians.

People involved were not who they say they were or did not furnish the information they said they would.

Sound familiar?

We’re talking about Donald Trump, Jr. and Paul Manafort’s June 2016 meeting with the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, right? The one where the promise of damaging information on Clinton was used to get the meeting but was never actually furnished?

Wrong. We’re talking about George Papadopoulos, a former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor and campaign volunteer, who has pled guilty of lying to the FBI about the timing of his joining the Trump campaign and his subsequent contacts with persons he apparently believed were connected to the Russian government.

According to the statement of offense

by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in March 2016 and while in Italy, Papadopoulos met an overseas professor based in London who “claimed to have substantial connections with Russian government officials.” Eventually he was introduced to a female Russian national who Papadopoulos thought was Vladimir Putin’s niece — she wasn’t — with the purpose being to set up an eventual meeting between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

On April 26, Papadopoulos was teased by the professor that, according to the special counsel, “the Russians had obtained ‘dirt’ on thencandidate Clinton. The Professor told defendant Papadopoulos, as defendant Papadopoulos later described to the FBI, that ‘They [the Russians] have dirt on her’; ‘the Russians had emails of Clinton’; ‘they have thousands of emails.’” This apparently was referring to the missing emails from Clinton’s private server that contained classified information, and had been reported to have been hacked variously by Marcel Lehel Lazar, AKA Guccifer, the Russians and others.

By then, Papadopoulos was attempting to arrange a “history changing” meeting between Trump

and Putin, but the idea was nixed by then Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, according to the Daily News.

“We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips,” Manafort told his business partner Rick Gates per the Daily News report. So, no collusion there. Meetings were proposed, but never accomplished.

Even if they had been, having meetings is not a crime in itself.

Notably, nowhere in the special counsel’s filing does it purport that Papadopoulos actually ever received the damaging Clinton dossier or met with real Russian officials. Instead, the filing merely states that Papadopoulos thought he was meeting with such officials. For example, the professor, per the special counsel, “claimed to have substantial connections with Russian government officials.” On Putin’s “niece,” Papadopoulos “believed that she had connections to Russian government officials…” At one point, Papadopoulos was introduced to “an individual in Moscow … who told defendant Papadopoulos he had connections to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

Nowhere does the statement of offense confirm these contacts actually had the connections they were purporting.

Now, if the special counsel thought Papadopoulos had actually met with real Russian government officials, wouldn’t the special counsel’s filing had said that?

Instead, these people were not who they said they were. That wasn’t Putin’s niece, for example. Was this an undercover operation or something?

Perhaps the Kremlin really did send these people to set up these meetings and to offer Hillary Clinton “dirt” to the Trump campaign. But maybe not. The special counsel does not say one way or another.

Just that Papadopoulos thought he was communicating with people connected to the Russian government and that, at least in part, they were lying.

If not Russian agents, then, who might have been teasing Papadopoulos with this “dirt” on Clinton?

Well, one hint might come from the fact that similar bait was used by Veselnitskaya to get the meeting with Trump, Jr. According to the email chain released by Trump, Jr., Rob Goldstone

“ ”

If the special counsel thought Papadopoulos had actually met with real Russian government officials, wouldn’t the special counsel’s filing had said that? offered in an early June 2016 email that “The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.” This eventually resulted in the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with Veselnitskaya. None of the supposed incriminating information was apparently ever furnished.

Instead, Veselnitskaya wanted to discuss U.S. sanctions on Russia via the Magnitsky Act. Trump, Jr. called it a “wasted 20 minutes.” The meeting was not what it appeared to be.

It also sounds a lot like the same incriminating information on Hillary Clinton that was similarly teased in the Christopher Steele authored dossier that was produced by Fusion GPS, which we now know was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee via law firm Perkins Coie.

In the Steele documents, former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor Carter Page was also said to be offered the Clinton dossier: “a senior colleague in the Internal Political Department of the PA, Diveykin (nfd) also had met secretly with [Carter] Page on his recent visit [to Moscow]. Their agenda had included Diveykin raising a dossier of ‘kompromat’ the Kremlin possessed on Trump’s Democratic presidential rival, Hillary Clinton, and its possible release to the Republican’s campaign team.”

Page has denied such meetings.

There you have not one, not two, but three examples where the Trump campaign was offered incriminating

information on Hillary Clinton, supposedly by Russia. Perhaps the Papadopoulos overture had failed, and so the same thing was tried again at different levels. The fact that it happened more than once can be no coincidence.

Even more so because Veselnitskaya was said in Senate Judiciary Committee July 26 testimony by Bill Browder, the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital, to have been working with Fusion GPS. Yes, the same Fusion GPS that commissioned Steele to write the dossier. Browder said, “Veselnitskaya, through Baker Hostetler, hired Glenn Simpson of the firm Fusion GPS to conduct a smear campaign against me and Sergei Magnitsky in advance of congressional hearings on the Global Magnitsy Act.” Veselnitskaya, who per Browder once hired Fusion GPS for a similar smear campaign, was teasing the Hillary Clinton Russia-produced dossier to Trump, Jr. as bait.

Fusion GPS was reporting via Steele that Page had been teased this same information as bait.

A very good question that Congressional investigators on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees should be asking is if this professor, Putin’s “niece” and this supposed contact to the Russian Foreign Ministry were somehow connected to Fusion GPS, too? What if they’re all connected?

This all violates the law of too many coincidences. The Russian government offered three times to deliver “dirt” on

Hillary Clinton to the Trump campaign?

And each time, it never produced the dirt? What purpose did this operation serve? Whose agenda?

If the same ploy is deployed numerous times in a short span of time, offering “dirt” under false pretenses, it seems likely they were all perpetrated by the same person or persons. Perhaps it was Russia, although Mueller appears to fall short of making that case.

So, if not Russia, then Fusion GPS itself should be questioned. Because, right now, it looks a lot like Fusion GPS’ work became the FBI’s basis for investigating the Trump campaign and then the basis for Special Counsel Mueller’s work today as it relates to the Papadopoulos case and the broader Trump-Russia collusion probe, which continues.

It should not be lost on Congress that the FBI reportedly offered to pay Fusion GPS’ Steele to continue his work.

Was the Trump campaign being set up with this promise of “dirt” on Clinton, her missing emails and offers of meetings? Was it Russia? Or were all these efforts really a sting operation by the FBI or somebody else?

Whatever the answers are, it seems likely Fusion GPS knows. That’s where the real investigation must occur. And if the Justice Department won’t do it, then it is Congress that must — no matter where the truth leads.

OPED Senators, challenge the President at your peril

By Allan Smithee Another one bites the dust. Another incumbent Republican has decided to move toward retirement rather than run for reelection. With Arizona Senator Jeff Flake’s announcement against reelection, he sends a strong message to the other Republicans in the field who have refused to back the Trump agenda — they are unwanted in Washington.

Flake’s announcement comes just weeks after another Republican opponent of the president, Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, made a similar proclamation against seeking reelection.

Both Senators have been vocal critics of Trump and have actively worked to halt his agenda, for Republicans eager to win Senate primaries this year, similar vocal opposition to the Trump agenda could be more harmful than helpful.

Flake caught national media attention after writing a book critiquing Trump and his base. In the book, “Conscience of a Conservative,” he explains how he diverted border

patrol officers from detaining illegal immigrants working his family’s farm. Consistently, Flake has opposed the tough immigration orders of the President, causing many to wonder what being a conservative means to him at all.

An essential similarity between Flake and Corker was Corker’s resistance to Trump’s policies.

Corker blasted Trump in a New

York Times interview earlier this month, where he claimed Trump was treating the presidency like a reality TV show and that his reckless actions were threatening to start “World War III.” This is ironic, considering Corker has promoted a significantly more reckless foreign policy agenda. Corker was vital in allowing President Obama to pass the Iran Nuclear Deal, which placed Iran on a crash course to nuclear

weapons proliferation.

Both Corker and Flake’s aggressive attacks against Trump fueled their demise in their districts. Tennessee and Arizona both swung to Trump with 2016.

Following Trump’s endorsement of Flake’s primary opponent Kelli Ward in September, Flake’s poll numbers plummeted. Less than a month after the endorsement, and a month of continued spats between the President and Flake, the Arizona Senator fell behind Ward by over 20 points, and his approval rating had dropped to only 34 percent.

Flakes dismissal has caused many conservative groups to urge another, even more, conservative opponent to jump in the primary. Arizona’s Fourth Congressional District Representative Paul Gosar has been amongst the popular choices.

But while the Tennessee and Arizona primaries just begin heating up, other Senators hoping for a reelection bid must take note.

Nevada Senator Dean Heller is another known “Never-Trumper” up for reelection this year. He is already being challenged in the primary by Danny Tarkanian who has been quick to point out that Heller voted against the “straight repeal” of Obamacare.

The pattern is clear: Corker backed the Iran deal instead of Trump, he retired.

Flake supported illegal immigration instead of Trump, he retired. If Heller continues to back Obamacare instead of Trump, his primary runs the risk of becoming unwinnable as well.

Opposition to Trump in the Senate has stalled his agenda, and the American people are clearly frustrated. Arizona and Tennessee are clear indicators that if Senators refuse to move the Trump agenda forward, their constituents will feel no reason to reelect them. The constituents called upon Trump to drain the swamp; it is now clear that those who have worked to obstruct his ability to do so will be drained by their constituents in 2018 primaries and general elections.

Is the whole world crazy or is it just me?

Dr. James L. Snyder Driving across town the other day I was nearly hit by four different vehicles. One ran a stop sign, another swerved in front of me and almost hit me and I’m sure the other two were on their cell phones. After a while I begin to think my life was at risk here.

I decided to drop into a little coffee shop and cool my heels a little bit. I ordered some coffee, took a table in the corner and just reflected on my day.

Why is it, I thought to myself, do people drive so crazy? How do they get a driver’s license?

Reflecting a little more upon the subject it dawned on me that it is not limited to people driving on the highway. People are just simply crazy. After giving it more thought, I concluded that I do not mind being crazy, it gives life a little more flavor. Crazy does have its benefits.

For example, if you are crazy, people will not take you seriously and so you can get away with things you otherwise would not be able to get away with.

“Oh, don’t ask him to do that, he’s just crazy.”

What I really want to know is that if a person is crazy do they know they are crazy? Or, are they just taking somebody’s word for it that they are crazy?

I was thinking about that in the coffee shop when an older couple came in and sat down across the room from me. Immediately they caught my attention. For one, they were quite a bit older than I am. It is always wonderful to see someone older than you are particularly during these last few years of mine.

The thing that caught my eye about these people was the fact that they were crazy in love, or at least it looked that way.

As they walked in they walked very slowly, she walked in front of him and he followed very gingerly. He waited for her to sit down, as a gentleman should, and then he sat down. He looked at her and smiled and when he smiled, I saw that he had absolutely no teeth in his mouth whatsoever. That, however, did not compromise his smile or her smile back at him.

He took her hand and they just smiled at one another. If that is not crazy love, I do not know what crazy love is. And, if that is crazy love, I want to buy into it with everything I got.

The waitress came back to them and took their order for coffee. Of course, who in love does not want to drink a cup of coffee?The gentleman told the waitress that they needed some time to think about what they wanted to eat.

It soon dawned on me that they were on a date. I did not know older people went on dates. If this was not a date, I do not know what in the world a date is.

I was too far away to hear their talk, but I could see that they were talking back and forth and laughing and giggling as though they were teenagers embraced in their first love affair. I just wished I were a little closer because I am sure their conversation would have been delightful.

I get so tired of hearing hateful talk, prejudice talk, political talk and all that kind of talk that just makes you sick when you hear it. It is about all you hear and see on television, which this may be crazy, but I have been thinking about shooting my television.

When people are crazy in love, it does not matter what they say the only thing that matters is that they are in each other’s company. I did not know the story with this older couple. I sure would have loved to hear it. Have they been married for a long time? Or, have they just got married a few weeks or months ago?

As a pastor, I surely would have loved to have done their wedding. I am sure it was a great celebration.

The couple finally ordered and the waitress took their order back to the kitchen. This gave them ample time to enjoy each other’s fellowship. I do not know which one enjoyed the fellowship more. The gentleman or the lady? All I do know is, here were two people that were truly crazy in love.

I was about ready to leave when a crazy thought danced in my empty head. Why can’t I have a piece of that “crazy love” they were demonstrating?

I called the waitress over and said to her, “See that older couple over there?

I want to pay for their lunch.”

The waitress looked at me and smiled and then I said, “Make sure that they don’t know who is paying for their lunch.” She smiled at me and I gave her a generous tip because the moment was that crazy.

It would have been wonderful hanging around to see how they responded to having their meal paid for by some stranger. I may be crazy, but not that crazy.

I like what Jesus said, “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise” (Luke 6:31).

We sure could use a world that treats other people the way they themselves would like to be treated.

Don’t turn the omnibus into an amnesty bill

By Printus LeBlanc Republican leadership can’t help but be its own worst enemy.

The Republican Party has everything going its way. The coup attempt by the Democrats has been exposed as a fraud. The economy is improving in leaps and bounds, and the GOP is looking to pick up several Senate seats in the midterm elections.

Enter “leadership.”

W

HEN the House passed the omnibus bill on September 14, it addressed many of the immigration points the President ran on. The same immigration points the President won the election on.

Division M of the bill is titled “Department of Homeland Security Border Infrastructure Construction Appropriation Act.” In it, $1.53 billion is appropriated for three sections of border fencing along Texas and California.

There is also another $38 million appropriated for planning more border wall construction. It is not the full amount for the wall, but it funds part of the wall and Sanctuary cities are also defunded.

Division C is titled “Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations.” Section 554 of Division C states, “None of the funds made available by this Act under the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program may be used in contravention of section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.”

Division H is titled “Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.” Section 427 of division H states, “None of the funds made available by this Act may be used in contravention of section 642(a) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1373(a)).”

This is a great start, it builds the

wall and goes after a major problem attracting illegal immigrants and havens for illegal drug smuggling, but why does it seem like the Republican leadership is waiving the white flag? For some unknown reason, two Republicans in leadership hinted at caving to liberal demands on immigration issues last week, despite controlling the House, Senate, and Presidency.

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) continued his push for amnesty. Recent reports from a meeting with House conservatives revealed Ryan plans to include legislation legalizing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in the upcoming spending deal. DACA is the program that allows illegal immigrants brought here as “children” to stay.

But gone is mention of the wall and defunding sanctuary cities. Nor is there any mention of including the RAISE Act that would end chain migration and move to a merit-based system.

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Tex.) took E-verify off the negotiating table in a recent interview according to Politico. E-verify is the tool used to verify if someone is legally eligible to work in the country when applying for a job. Naturally, Democrats don’t want that because it will reduce the incentive for illegal immigrants to come here.

Reduce, not eliminate. Why would the Cornyn give away one of the best tools to fight illegal immigration?

By putting DACA into a spending deal without getting at least the RAISE

Act, border wall, and defunding of sanctuary cities the GOP leadership is setting themselves up for failure. By not putting E-verify in a spending deal, leadership is encouraging more illegal immigration. They are turning the upcoming spending vote into a vote on Amnesty.

How does the Speaker think this is going to play out in the primaries?

Amnesty was passed before Obamacare repeal, tax reform, and border security.

The ads write themselves.

The continual push for amnesty policies while failing to do anything else is showing the Republican base where the loyalty of GOP leadership lies.

Americans for Limited Government Vice President of Policy Robert Romano stated, “By sticking DACA amnesty on the budget, it makes it even more difficult for House Republicans to vote for, limiting what can be leveraged off of DACA, which bare minimum, should include passing the RAISE Act eliminating chain migration, defunding sanctuary cities to are allowing heroin to pour onto America’s streets, building the wall and beefing up the Border Patrol. DACA is the leverage, not the deal.”

Many fiscal conservatives went out on a limb to pass the omnibus spending bill. Putting amnesty in there would betray their trust and force them to vote against it.

Republican leadership must quit reading the 2012 RNC autopsy that recommended an amnesty approach in GOP legislation. It is the most worthless, inaccurate document ever produced by the RNC. President Trump did everything contrary to the autopsy report and won states the GOP had given up on. The voters sent you a clear message by sending President Trump to the White House and not one of the other amnesty candidates. You should listen to them.

needs to repeal and replace the disastrous Obamacare law and provide real relief to the American people.” The reaction was swift from health-care advocates, with some suggesting that Trump’s actions would effectively segregate Blacks and people living with HIV in high-risk insurance pools.

HIV/AIDS advocacy groups urged their constituents to write to their elected officials and contact the attorneys general in their states to demand legal action to protect

the ACA. In a statement about Trump’s refusal to fund the cost-sharingreduction subsidies, Neera Tanden, president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, said that Trump and Republican leaders in Congress have proved that they will do everything in their power to take away health care from hardworking Americans.

“This is an unprecedented action: The president of the United States is purposefully hurting millions of the people he

is supposed to serve by driving up their health-care costs,” Tanden said. “All to further his petty, political agenda and to undo Obamacare.”

Tanden added: “People will recognize that Trump—who has spent every last second of his presidency trying to tear down the ACA—is the one solely responsible for breaking health care in America, and congressional Republican leaders have stood by and watched him hurt Americans families while refusing to help them.”

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: VETERANS DAY

“ ”

This is an unprecedented action: The president of the United States is purposefully hurting millions of the people he is supposed to serve by driving up their healthcare costs, all to … undo Obamacare.

Neera Tanden, president and CEO of the Center for American Progress

Trump said that the executive order would “increase choice and increase access to lower-priced, high-quality health-care options” and would “cost the United States government virtually nothing.”

The order promises to expand access to association health plans; increase the availability of shortterm, limited-duration insurance plans; and also expand the availability and permitted use of health reimbursement accounts.

Association health plans allow small-business owners to pool their resources to buy health

insurance plans; the plans may also be available to individual buyers.

The association health plans offer greater flexibility to business owners, which in the past has led to “a race to the bottom, with some associations offering lowercost plans that covered virtually nothing,” a former insurance regulator told Vox. “Policy experts warn that together, these changes could represent a serious threat to Obamacare: Trump wants to open more loopholes for more people to buy insurance outside the health care law’s markets, which experts anticipate would destabilize the market for customers who are left behind with higher premiums and fewer insurers,” Vox reported.

That’s because industry watchers believe that younger, healthier consumers will flock to the cheaper plans that offer fewer benefits.

Topher Spiro, vice president for health policy and a senior fellow for economic policy at the Center for American Progress, says that Trump is trying to

take us back to the bad old days before the Affordable Care Act, when coverage wasn’t there when you needed it, and people who were older or had pre-existing conditions faced sky-high costs.

“These changes would be devastating for small businesses, sending their premiums soaring and undermining the small-group insurance market,” Spiro says. “And while many consumers in the ACA marketplaces would be protected from the higher individual-market premiums resulting from this order, confusion will depress enrollment, some insurers may exit markets and middle-income Americans with pre-existing conditions would face premium spikes.”

Some lawmakers also expressed their contempt for the president’s latest executive order on social media.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) tweeted: “Spiteful. Destructive.

Cruel. New low from President Trump - deliberately undermining health care for low-income families.”

“We’re not telling people don’t do or to do, but we want people to have the necessary education to be informed about how they leverage their dollars,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson told C-SPAN.

products sold on 1.8 million vehicles from September 2009 through June 2015, these addon costs were both unreasonably high and varied at the discretion of the dealership as to the price levels that would be charged.

“Our analysis demonstrates the negative consequences of opaque and inconsistent pricing of auto add-on products and the urgent need to bring transparency and consistency to this market,” said John W. Van Alst, the report’s primary author and director of NCLC’s Working Cars for Working Families Project.

Here’s how the unfair pricing and add-ons occur: • After a consumer settles on a price of a vehicle, he or she is then told to see the finance and insurance (F&I) representative to review terms

and sign the purchase. What few consumers know, is that many dealers pay its F&I personnel on a commission basis. Hence, the more costs added to the vehicle purchase, the more these employees earn. Other dealers, according to NCLC, pay a higher percentage commission as the F&I profits increase per vehicle sold. Sometimes car sales representatives receive a commission on the cars sold and additionally, a portion of the add-ons, sometimes known as “back-end” products.

• If consumers accept all the options offered by F&I, the likelihood is that they will eventually pay far more than the vehicle is actually worth. Not only that, the amount of markup that boosts the dealership’s profits would be far cheaper and affordable if the consumer secured them independently.

To make these products and services appear affordable, the length of the auto loan is often extended to 72 or 84 months— or even longer. The longer the auto loan, the more likely that the consumer is getting a bad deal.

NCLC also cites previous research by the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) that determined car buyers who financed vehicles at the dealership in 2009 paid $25.8 billion in interest rate markups. That same study also found that more than half of Black car purchasers (54 percent) were also charged loan kickbacks, compared to only 31 percent of Whites.

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.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the 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. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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.

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 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, 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9550-3957.

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. 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.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that National T. D. Service, as trustee, or successor trustee, or substituted trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by John Miller, Jr. Recorded 04/16/2008, Inst. # 20080416-00058820-0 in Book No. on Page No. of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Ventura County, California, and pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded 07/06/2017, Inst. # 2017070600087498-0 of said Official Records, will SELL on 11/10/2017 at 10:00 AM In the Center Courtyard of the Building located at 950 County Square Drive, Ventura, California 93003 at public auction to the highest bidder for cash (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States) all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described in said Deed of Trust.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3744 Woodland Oak Place, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320 A.K.A. 3744 Woodland Oak Place, Newbury Park, CA 91320 A.P.N.: 666-0-290-125 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $183,884.06. Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings

association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

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 recorders 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 Secion 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 (805) 339-0892 regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: TS # 1033.

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 (www.nationaltd. com). The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ERIC M. RIDDLE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

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.

GASENDO Case No. 56-2017-00503421-PR-LS-OXN To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of LEONARDO M. GASENDO. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed

by LEAH GASENDO in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that LEAH GASENDO 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 12/13/2017 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

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

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

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county wherein the real property is located and more than three (3) months have elapsed since such recordation. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale. 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 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 (916)939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 17-01506. 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.

Astros, Dodgers set Series home run record amid juiced ball buzz

By Ronald Bloom HOUSTON (AP) — Home runs kept flying over the wall at Minute Maid Park, on line drives up toward the train tracks, on fly balls that just dropped over the fence.

Seven more were hit in Game 5, raising the total to a World Series record 22 — with two possible more games to play. Twenty-five runs were scored in a game started by the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw and the Astros’ Dallas Keuchel, Cy Young Award winners regarded as among baseball’s best.

After a season when sluggers outpaced even their steroid-era predecessors for home runs, some are convinced that something is amiss with the baseballs.

“The main complaint is that the balls seem a little bit different in the postseason, and even from the postseason to the World Series balls,” Justin Verlander said Sunday, two days before he takes the mound in Game 6 and tries to pitch the Astros to their first title. “They’re a little slick.

You just deal with it. But I don’t think it’s the case of one pitcher saying, ‘Hey, something is different here.’ I think as a whole, everybody is saying, ‘Whoa, something is a little off here.”’

A record eight home runs were hit in Game 2, including five in extra innings, and Game 5’s seven long balls would have tied the old mark. The 13-12, 10-inning Astros’ win Sunday night was the second-highest scoring game in Series history.

Keuchel was quoted as saying after Game 2: “Obviously, the balls are juiced.”

Not so obvious to everyone, even amid the power surge.

“I haven’t personally noticed anything. I haven’t tried to think about it either,” Dodgers reliever Brandon Morrow said after giving up two homers in Game 5. “It’s not something you want to put in your own head.”

Same for Kershaw, even after giving up his record eighth homer of the postseason Sunday.

“I don’t really pay attention to it,” Kershaw said. “I just assume that both sides are dealing with it, so I’m not going to worry about it.”

This year’s long ball assault topped the 21 of the 2002 Series. Anaheim hit seven and Barry Bonds and his San Francisco Giants slugged 14 over seven games. That was the year before survey drug testing.

Speculation that something has changed includes a study claiming to have found differences in the size and seam height of balls since the 2015 All-Star break.

“I know there was talk about different sizes and some of the baseballs were slightly bigger and some were smaller. Some of the seams were higher, some of the seams were lower. But, no, it’s been consistent,” said Rich Hill, who will start Game 6 for the Dodgers. “I think that just has to do with conditions — if it’s colder it’s going to be slicker. If it’s a little bit warmer out or humid, I think you’re going to find that you’re going to have a little bit more of moisture to the baseballs.”

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred insists nothing nefarious is going on.

“I’m absolutely confident that the balls that we’re using are within our established specifications,” he said Friday.

Verlander rejected that assertion.

“I know Mr. Manfred said the balls haven’t changed, but I think there’s enough information out there to say that’s not true,” he said.

Verlander also does not think it’s an issue of how balls are rubbed up before games.

“I know baseball uses the same mud for every single ball for every single game that’s played,” he said. “I think there’s a broader issue that we’re all missing.”

On the day he become commissioner in January 2015, Manfred said, “I’m cognizant in the drop in offense over the last five years, and it’s become a topic of conversation in the game, and it’s something that we’re going to have to continue to monitor and study.”

Offense started rebounding during the second half of the season, and a record 6,105 home runs were hit this year, 2.4 percent more than the previous mark of 5,963 set in 2000 at the height of the Steroids Era. “I think it’s pretty clear,” Verlander said. “I think our commissioner has said publicly that they wanted more offense in the game. I’m pretty sure I’m not fabricating a quote here when I say that. I think it was already AllStar break of ‘15, or right before, when he said that.”

San Francisco’s Johnny Cueto and Toronto’s Marcus Stroman also think the balls have changed, with Stroman blaming slick balls for a rise in pitcher blisters — an affliction which has struck Hill a few times in the past couple seasons, too.

Houston’s Brent Strom and the Dodgers’ Rick Honeycutt, the World Series pitching coaches, both were quoted by Sports Illustrated on Sunday as saying the slickness of the ball made throwing sliders difficult.

“Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “I don’t see a ton difference, but I’m not going to get in a verbal war with coaches and players who think otherwise.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had a similar view but acknowledged the power records got his attention.

“The pitchers talk about it feels different in their hand. The one component is the slickness and guys at different ballparks rub it up differently,” he said. “Sort of feels the same to me. But it’s hard to argue the numbers.

You know there’s more velocity. Guys are swinging harder. I know in Los Angeles the air was light. It was hot. The ball was flying, carrying more than typically.

But I hesitate to try to give you any insight because I really don’t know.”

SPORTS Dodgers beat Astros 3-1, force World Series to Game 7

By Ronald Blum

LOS ANGELES—Joc Pederson sliced a drive over the left-field wall, pounded his chest and danced around the bases , taking as many twists and turns as this World Series itself.

O

F course, the Los Angeles Dodgers forced the Houston Astros to Game 7.

Chris Taylor hit a tying double off Justin Verlander during a two-run rally in the sixth inning , Corey Seager followed with a go-ahead sacrifice fly and the Dodgers beat the Astros 3-1 on Tuesday night to push this dramatic Fall Classic to the ultimate game.

Pederson homered in the seventh against Joe Musgrove, connecting off the right-hander for the second time in three games and making it a record 24 long balls that have been hit in this Series. Pederson pranced all the way to the plate, pointing at the Dodgers’ dugout and rubbing his thumbs and index fingers together to indicate what a money shot it was.

“You kind of black out in a situation like that. So I’m going to have to re-watch it to see what I did,” Pederson said.

It was the third home run of the World Series for Pederson, demoted to the minors from midAugust until early September, then left off the NL Division Series roster. He had hit just one previous opposite-field homer in the big leagues this season, and teammates offered to pay him to go the other way.

“People are trying to get me encouraged to using the whole field,” he said. “I’m not very good at it.”

Yu Darvish starts Wednesday for the Dodgers, trying to win their first title since 1988, and Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw will be ready in the bullpen after getting knocked out in the fifth inning of Game 5.

“I can give you 27 innings,” Kershaw said. “I’ll be ready to go, whatever they need.”

Lance McCullers Jr. gets the ball for the Astros in the first World Series Game 7 ever at Dodger Stadium and the first since 1931 between teams that won 100 games during the regular season.

Darvish was chased in the second inning of Game 2, when McCullers pitched Houston to a 5-3 victory.

“You’ve got two teams with a bunch of dogs in the clubhouse.

No one is afraid,” McCullers said.

Two nights after a 13-12, 10-inning slugfest under the roof at Minute Maid Park, pitching dominated.

George Springer’s third-inning home run against starter Rich Hill had given a 1-0 lead to Verlander and the Astros, trying for the first championship in their 56-season history. On Halloween night, a title for a team with orange in its colors seemed appropriate.

But it served only to set up the 10th blown lead of the Series, the fifth by Houston, as Verlander fell to 9-1 with the Astros.

Dodgers relievers combined for 4 1/3 scoreless innings. Brandon Morrow retired Alex Bregman on a grounder to strand the bases loaded in the fifth,winner Tony Watson got Marwin Gonzalez to line out to leaping second baseman Chase Utley with two on and two outs in the sixth , and Kenta Maeda escaped two-on trouble in the seventh when third baseman Justin Turner gloved Jose Altuve’s grounder and made a short-hop throw that first baseman Cody Bellinger scooped just in time.

“The pick is big,” Houston manager A.J. Hinch said.

After wasting a ninth-inning lead in Game 2 and losing Game

5, Kenley Jansen retired six straight batters on 19 pitches for the save and ended it by striking out 40-year-old pinch-hitter Carlos Beltran.

This will be the third World Series Game 7 in four years. The home team had won nine straight since 1979 before San Francisco triumphed at Kansas City in 2014 and the Chicago Cubs captured their first title since 1908 at Cleveland last year.

Ten of the last 12 teams that won Game 6 to force a seventh game also won the title, but the Dodgers lost the previous six World Series in which they trailed 3-2. They have won just one of their six championships at home, in 1963.

A heat wave over and the skies overcast, the temperature dropped to 67 degrees at game time from 103 for last week’s opener, and there was a slight drizzle in the middle innings.

Los Angelenos with a laid-back reputation were on their feet for two-strike counts against Astros batters, a wave in Pantone 294 — also known as Dodger blue.

“We feed off the crowd, for sure,” Taylor said. “We feel we have a huge home-field advantage.”

Yuli Gurriel, who made a racist gesture toward Darvish in Game 3, was booed loudly during introductions and each time he batted, and Hill stepped off the rubber to allow the crowd extra time to jeer.

Verlander has 11 postseason wins but dropped to 0-4 in the Series with Detroit and Houston, which acquired him from the Tigers on Aug. 31 to win on nights like this. He allowed just one baserunner before Austin Barnes singled leading off the sixth.

Verlander bounced a pitch that hit Utley on the front of his right foot, and Taylor sent a 97 mph fastball down the right-field line as Barnes came home. Seager followed with a sacrifice fly to the warning track, a ball that likely would have landed in the pavilion in last week’s hot air.

Verlander prevented more

damag e when Turner fouled out and the right-hander fanned Bellinger, who struck out four times for the second time in the Series.

Springer homered for the third straight game and fourth time in the Series, one shy of the record set by Reggie Jackson in 1977 and matched by Utley in 2009.

Brian McCann singled leading off the fifth and Gonzalez doubled past Turner and down the left-field line. Hill struck out Josh Reddick and Verlander, and Springer was intentionally walked to load the bases.

Morrow relieved as the crowd booed manager Dave Roberts’ decision, and Hill slapped at four cups of liquid in the dugout, sending them spraying against the wall “With Verlander on the mound, that was going to be the game,” Roberts said.

Appearing in his sixth straight Series game, Morrow got Bregman to ground to shortstop on his second pitch.

Watson walked Reddick leading off the seventh, Evan Gattis pinch hit for Verlander and Maeda relieved. Gattis bounced to shortstop, just beating Utley’s throw from second to avoid a double play. Springer reached on an infield single, and Bregman’s fly to deep center allowed pinchrunner Derek Fisher to tag up and advance to third, bringing up Altuve.

Walking down the dugout steps after his groundout, Altuve slammed his helmet.

Afterward, attention quickly turned to Wednesday.

“I think it seems fitting,” Roberts said. “These two teams mirror one another.”

Pederson sat in the interview room with his older brother, Champ , who has Down Syndrome.

“I have a feeling that everything is possible,” Champ said. “I’m not going to say they have it, but I’m just going to say they will find a way.”

Tiger Woods pleads guilty to reckless driving, avoids jail

By Curt Anderson and Terry Spencer Superstar golfer Tiger Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving and agreed to enter a diversion program Friday, five months after he was found passed out in his Mercedes with prescription drugs and marijuana in his system.

Woods, 41, spoke only briefly during a hearing at a Palm Beach County courthouse, answering questions from a judge about his plea agreement. Prosecutors dropped his driving under the influence charge, and the judge warned him to stay out of trouble.

“This particular plea agreement has no jail time on it. However, if you violate your probation in any significant way, I could revoke your probation and then I could sentence you to jail for 90 days with a fine of up to $500, is that understood?”

Judge Sandra Bosso-Pardo said.

Woods, 41, nodded. He did not make any statement during the hearing or outside the courthouse.

In the diversion program, Woods will spend a year on probation and pay a $250 fine and court costs. He has already met some of the program’s other requirements, completing 50 hours of community service at the Tiger Woods Foundation, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said.

Woods also attended a workshop where victims of impaired drivers detail how their lives were damaged.

Aronberg said most DUI offenders do not qualify for the diversion program because they have a prior record or were in an accident. About 2,500 firsttime offenders have graduated from the county program since it began four years ago.

“This is designed for firsttime offenders, where the person made a one-time mistake and

they’re going to overcome it,” Aronberg said. “Mr. Woods was treated like any other defendant in his situation.”

Since he was intoxicated with prescription drugs and marijuana, according to court records, he will also be required to undergo regular drug tests.

Woods is also not allowed to drink alcohol.

Woods arrived at the courthouse in a black sport utility vehicle, wearing sunglasses and a dark suit with no tie. Police officers surrounded him as he walked down a hallway inside the

courthouse and they ringed the inside of the courtroom during the high-profile proceeding.

Woods was arrested about 2 a.m. May 29 when officers found him unconscious in his Mercedes, which was parked awkwardly on the roadside and had damage to the driver’s side.

It’s not clear how he damaged the car. Officers checked the area but didn’t find that he had hit anything. He was about 15 miles from his home.

His arrest was recorded by an officer’s dashcam video and released to the public.
