Domestic Terrorist

By Freddie Allen (Managing Editor, NNPA Newswire) James Alex Fields Jr., a 20-year-old from Ohio, who drove his dark gray Dodge Challenger into a crowd of people protesting a White nationalist march in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday, August 12 showed a deep interest in Nazism and Adolph Hitler in high school. Fields is being held on suspicion of second-degree murder, malicious wounding and failure to stop in an accident that resulted in death, according to CNN. ABC News reported that Derek Weimer, Fields’ former world history teacher at Randall K. Cooper High School in Union, Kentucky, said that Fields was “fairly

quiet,” “smart,” and also an open admirer of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Weimer also told ABC News that Fields thought the Nazis “were pretty cool guys.” According to ABC News, “Some of Fields’ classmates at the school recalled a trip to Europe a group of students took after graduation in 2015. When they visited the Dachau concentration camp, two of the students on the trip said when they arrived there, Fields said, ‘This is where the magic happened.’” The ABC News report continued: “Weimer noted that Randall K. Cooper High School is not particularly diverse, and said that as a result, he didn’t have many opportunities to see Fields

Last weekend, White nationalists descended on the college town to protest the removal of a statute of Robert E.

Trump – The Pied Trump “Jokes” about Police Brutality, Piper of but Cops Aren’t Laughing Renewed Racism in America

By Walter Smith Publisher, Philadelphia Observer Beginning in 2008, Donald Trump became the poster boy for racism in America. Trump began his political career with his attempt to discredit Barack Obama based on Obama’s race. He knew full well that Obama was a US citizen but reveled in the attention he got from his supporters for his negative position on a black presidential candidate. Trump has decried crime in Chicago, Illinois, and various black communities and has threatened to send in federal troops to enforce laws and break up violent gangs. In keeping with his pledge to “Make America Great Again” and to his supporter’s desire to “Take Our Country Back,” he failed to call out the perpretrators in TRUMP, See page 10A

By Lauren Victoria Burke (NNPA Newswire Contributor) During a speech at Suffolk County Community College on Long Island, N.Y., President Donald Trump seemed to openly endorse police brutality. Mother Jones reported that it, “Turns out the audience was comprised of officers in a police department that has been scrutinized for racial profiling, and whose former chief was recently sentenced to prison for beating a man.” According to Mother Jones, the speech was supposed to address federal efforts to combat MS-13, “the violent street gang with ties to Central America.” Trump seemed to discourage police officers from safely handling suspects in their care. “When you see these thugs being thrown into the back JOKES, See page 10A

Voices and View Points Wake up and live before it’s too late! Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan Wake up because life is passing you by. Have you noticed how fast life is moving? Every second, time is ticking away. Stop complaining and let others do that. It’s time for you to be courageous and live your life now; if you don’t you will regret it. It’s a gift to wake up. Most people walk around like zombies to do the same thing every day until they die. Each one of us live in a hypnotic trance. Some people live in the trance of happiness and abundance, but most people live in the trance of struggle and dram. The only way to change our trance from struggle to success, wealth, or happiness is to change our subconscious blueprint that we carry. Our current blueprint determines how far we are and where we will to go. It sets limits on our talent and ability. The KEY is that your blueprint can ONLY be accessed subconsciously. It

cannot be accessed with the conscious mind. If your subconscious is programmed wrong you will hear the wrong voice… If you hear the wrong voice, you make the wrong choice! Your subconscious is the voice you hear inside that says, “You can’t, or you’re not good enough, or you’re slow, or dumb, etc.” The fastest way to change your subconscious voice is to change the blueprint inside so that all of your energy goes in the direction that you want it to go. Life becomes easy, natural, and effortless without any will power. Its time to silence your inner voice. It is the gatekeeper that you hear in your subconscious mind. We’re all born with unique abilities and talents. But without understanding God’s presence dwelling within you, you will remain blind to your greatness. This is dangerous because if the enemy can distort your identity, he can steal your destiny. If the enemy controls your inner voice then he controls your outward victory. When we have God’s Spirit dwelling within, we have everything that pertains to life and godliness. Within every Christian, there is a “secret place,” a “sanctuary,” a place inside of us where God speaks to us. The Holy of Holies in the

temple in the Old Testament was a type and shadow of the promise of the indwelling of the Spirit of God within the heart of man. It was given to us in the New Covenant, in which we live today. Deep within you is God’s dwelling place. His habitation. The more you understand who you really are IN CHRIST, the easier it becomes to be who you are in this world. “God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you; therefore, you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple. That is the substance of our message.” (Col 1:27) God’s presence contains everything you need. The mystery held back from the beginning of time has been revealed and it is this: “Christ in you, the hope of glory!” When a plane is flying in a storm, what does the pilot do? He raises the altitude of the plane so that it flies above the storm. He goes higher so he can fly above the mess! There is a place above the natural circumstances and above the network of demonic powers trying to dominate the atmosphere. It’s found in His presence. IT’S TIME FOR LIVE, See page 10A

After Charlottesville, push for real reform

By Jesse Jackson Racism, exposed once more in the terror visited on Charlottesville, Va., still scars America. Hundreds of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, klansmen and other fervid racists gathered — some armed with assault rifles, wearing camouflage. They marched with lit torches, yelling Nazi slogans, looking for trouble. They provoked the violence, terrorized a city, and took the life of Heather Heyer and injured many more. In the reaction to those horrors, character is revealed. For Heather Heyer, the neo-Nazi assault revealed her passion for justice. She died standing for what she believed in, and her sacrifice helps to redeem an America that is far better than the haters. She joined a peaceful demonstration against the neo-Nazis, standing with African Americans and people of conscience unwilling to be intimidated by the mob. She was crossing an intersection when a 20-year-old man plowed his car into the peaceful demonstrators and took her life, injuring 19 others. She now joins the blessed martyrs of America’s long struggle for equal rights. She stands with other angels who sacrificed their lives: Viola Liuzzo in Selma, Ala. in 1965; James Chaney, An-

drew Goodman and Michael Schwerner near Philadelphia, Miss. in 1964; the four little girls — Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robinson and Denise McNair — blown up in the Birmingham, Ala. church bombing in 1963. As Heyer’s mother stated, “Heather’s life was about — passionately about — fairness and equality and caring, and that’s what we want people to take away from this.” Donald Trump’s reaction to Charlottesville will be etched in infamy. He refused to condemn the neoNazis and white nationalists, choosing only to decry the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.” The haters heard his message. The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist website, exulted that Trump “did not attack us. … No condemnation at all.” His campaign for the presidency purposefully stoked the forces of bigotry and intolerance. Now, as president, he has failed a test of simple decency. He shames a nation that is far better than that. Some Republicans showed they know better. Conservative Sen. Orrin Hatch tweeted simply, “My brother didn’t give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home.” Sen. Marco Rubio spoke forcefully against the haters. Some Republicans

even rebuked the president for his failure. Decrying racism is necessary. Words are important, but actions are needed. Dr. Martin Luther King always warned against being satisfied with words: “Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro, there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.” The terrible church bombing in Birmingham was denounced, but King pushed us to keep our eyes on the demand for civil rights reform. The hoses and clubs of Selma were decried, but King kept his focus on pushing for the Voting Rights Act. Denouncing hatred is important, but we need to focus on who is prepared to act. Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia denounced the haters that terrorized Charlottesville, and did so with a record of action. As governor of a Southern state, he pushed for voting rights reforms. He called on his legislature to accept the expansion of Medicaid under REFORM, See page 10A

Enjoying the Picnic – With or Without Ants

The Mind Matters By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC The warm, lazy days of summer offer an opportunity to spend more time outside in nature. We play more. Longer days also allow us to relax; to experience more of the sweetness of life. There is an abundance of color and growth in the natural world. We make a point of taking a vacation or a staycation. A common activity is to pack a picnic basket and enjoy a simple meal under the welcoming shade of a tree. We can enjoy the sounds of the birds and the wind rustling through the branches. We can stretch out and take a nap on the soft grass and feel the earth beneath our feet. We can engage in meditative thought in peaceful surroundings. We can also be annoyed. Even in the quiet beauty of nature, we can be-

come distracted by negative thoughts. Your thoughts can take the form of a mosquito buzzing in your ear, keeping you tuned into an unpleasant distraction or an unwelcome thought. Or your thoughts can seem like a line of ants marching across your picnic blanket, messing up your solitude and wreaking havoc on your plans. In either case, you can choose to observe the mosquito or the ants. You can swat at the mosquito and allow it to disturb you. Or you can ignore it. You can watch as the ants march off the other side of the blanket and disappear from sight. Or you can panic and rearrange everything on your blanket to avoid contact with them. In either case, you could focus on the annoying things. You could fuss over them. You could get angry with

them. You could feel sad that they have ruined your picnic. You could even let them bite you! But you have power over the annoying insects. You have power over the annoying thoughts. You decide. It’s your choice. It’s always your choice. Are you making yourself suffer? Maybe you think the PICNIC, See page 10A

What’s Your Pleasure Type? Aspects Galore

By Sue Hines What feeds you? What gives you pleasure, and the type of pleasure that keeps you coming back for more, defines so much of who you are and, if you are a business owner, the type of brand you build. How to Recognize Your “Type”: Putting in the hours and putting out the effort does bring results. There is something more to real success, though. It is getting pleasure – the right kind of pleasure – from what you do. In my work, I have found three distinct “types” rewards that keep people inspired and motivated. Which one is most likely to gets you inspired to take action? Here is a brief description of each, with some examples that help distinguish them. Joy As I define it, Joy is that

special form of happiness that is hard to pin down. It is a light and cheerful and yet full-bodied sense of something. It is happiness about an idea or a concept and is often hard to describe. The French term, joie de vivre, means joy of life or in being alive. It is a bubbling over about something. Joy is that great feeling of happiness that comes over us, making us feel present and energized. I like to use the example of someone who gets joy out of going to the gym because they know it is good for them, it makes them feel and look good, it is the act of honoring themselves and their bodies, it wakes up the fuel burning system in the body, and starts (or ends) their day off right. It’s happiness with lots of causes, a combination of reasons, and the big idea behind them all that is Joy. Thrill This form of pleasure

is about “doing.” It comes through being aware of enjoyment both while and because your are doing something. Pleasure from driving a fast car, working really hard at something or being on stage performing for an audience is the Thrill type of pleasure. The knowledge of the experience, accompanied by physical sensations of that experience make up the Thrill. Staying with our gym analogy, people who love the feel of “the burn” – lifting weights, in spinning class, or cycling up a long hill – are the thrill type of pleasure seekers. It is the physical sensation, rather than the idea that draws them back. Delight This is a little tricky to describe. Delight involves both input and output. It is the sense of pleasure that comes from something and PLEASURE, See page 10A

By Charlene Crowell (NNPA Newswire Columnist) As millions of students return to school, the nation’s Justice Department (DOJ) is beginning an investigation that could potentially sue universities over affirmative action admissions policies. As first reported by “The New York Times,” the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division will carry out this effort to determine whether White applicants were discriminated against. For Black people and other ethnic and racial minorities, this investigation seems like window-dressing to deny millions of students a quality education in the name of injustice. Such actions also signal a more subtle message is to roll back to the progress achieved in broadly affording students of all races and ethnicities the benefits that higher education derives. Among edu-

cation and civil rights advocates a strong belief holds that everyone benefits when obstacles to educational opportunity are overcome. “The American Dream offers each new generation the opportunity to build on the successes of previous ones,” wrote Nikitra Bailey, an executive vice president with the Center for Responsible Lending, in a

related op-ed. “However, if you are African-American, the nation’s history of enslavement and legal bigotry consistently requires each generation to start anew.” Bailey is correct. Despite the vigilance of civil rights heroes over multiple generations, the heralded 1954 Supreme Court ruling in “Brown v. Board JUSTICE, See page 10A

Orange County Assessor’s Office Governor Signs Jackson Bill To Help Leading in Constituent Service Veterans and Protect Public Safety

BOE Board Members recognizing Orange County Assessor Claude Parrish

In recognition of continued operational improvements and constituent service to taxpayers, BOE Chairwoman Diane L. Harkey recently honored Orange County Assessor Claude Parrish and his staff with a resolution for their efforts. Mr. Parrish and his team recently completed the State Assessment Practices Survey, a program in which the BOE reviews the practices and procedures of county assessors’ offices. Counties are responsible for local property tax assessment, and the state has an interest in promoting fair and equitable assessments. The recent survey results show the productive working relationship with the BOE and the Orange County Assessor’s Office. The results also show the high degree of profes-

sionalism and knowledge within the Orange County Assessor’s office. Chairwoman Harkey’s office has relied on Claude and his team for solving constituent issues, and they have been a tremendous asset. Assessor’s play an important role in three distinct ways. Efficiency: Being able to contact and visit your local Assessor’s office creates efficiencies for taxpayers by allowing local issues to be solved at the lowest level possible. Government works best if local problems can be solved at the ground level. Access: Having a local elected assessor means that all taxpayers have the same convenient access to their Assessor, and the Assessor in turn is directly accountable to constituents. Point of Contact: Having

an elected county assessor means taxpayers know who to call and can solve their issues with an actual live person. Specific to Orange County, Mr. Parrish has a dedicated Taxpayer Rights Advocate within the Assessor’s office. This position is critically important to help taxpayers navigate the many twists and turns of the tax world. Most people are not tax experts, and having an advocate who clearly explains their rights is important to ensure fair and efficient tax administration. Thank you to Orange County Assessor Claude Parrish and his staff members Neil Shah, Kenn Dobson, George Singletary and Michael Hannah for their excellent service to taxpayers and productive working relationship with the Board of Equalization.

SACRAMENTO – Governor Jerry Brown has just signed a bill by Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (DSanta Barbara) that clarifies that military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health disorders associated with their service in the military are eligible for pretrial diversion programs for misdemeanor DUIs, thus ensuring that these veterans get the help they need sooner and more effectively. Senate Bill 725 clarifies contradicting language in California law that had resulted in differing state appeals courts’ rulings last year at a time when courts were experiencing an influx of requests from veterans charged with these misdemeanors. Provisions in the penal code established criteria for these veterans to qualify for diversion programs, while the California vehicle code prohibited it. “This bill will not only

Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson

clarify once and for all that these veterans are eligible for pretrial diversion programs, it will also ensure that veterans and service members who have served our country will get the help they need to address substance abuse and mental health issues,” Jackson said. “This will ultimately help protect public safety and help prevent repeat DUIs, while giving these veterans a more hopeful future.” Enacted in 2014, pretrial diversion programs provide an alternative to traditional criminal justice proceed-

ings, and are designed to help veterans get the services they need as a result of untreated trauma experienced during their military service. If they successfully complete a closely monitored program, they can have their criminal charges dismissed. Under SB 725, veterans charged with felonies would not be eligible, and veterans could still have their licenses suspended and revoked by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Data shows that timely treatment for conditions underlying substance abuse is effective and significantly reduces recidivism. This bill continues Jackson’s long-standing work assisting veterans. She is the author of laws giving teachers, school employees and state employees who are disabled veterans additional sick leave during their first year in the workforce to seek treatment for their servicerelated disabilities.

Limón Appointed to Coastal Conservancy

SACRAMENTO—Assemblymember Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) has been appointed by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon to the Board of the State of California Coastal Conservancy. “I am honored to have been chosen to represent the Central Coast and all of California on the Coastal Conservancy Board,” said Limón. “As a lifelong coastal resident, I understand–as do the counties I represent– the unique challenges and

overwhelming importance of protecting our coastline and oceans. I look forward to continuing the vital work

of the Conservancy in preserving, protecting, and restoring California’s greatest coastal resources.” The Coastal Conservancy is a State agency established in 1976 to protect and improve natural lands and waterways, help people access and enjoy the outdoors and sustain local economies along the length of California’s coast. In addition to managing projects across the California coast and providing grants to partner organizations, the Coastal Conservancy’s Climate Ready Program assists communities in adapting to the impacts of climate change and increasing the resilience of ecosystems.

SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a $3.2 million settlement agreement with the city of San Diego on allegations that the city failed to ensure that construction sites throughout the city protected local streams and coastal lagoons from loose sediment. The alleged violations occurred between 2010-15 and affected waterbodies from Los Peñasquitos Lagoon in the north to the Tijuana River Estuary in the south. Under the agreement, the city is allowed to use $1,610,332 -- 50 percent of the total penalty -- to fund four Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) in the San Diego Region. The four SEPs are: Los Peñasquitos Lagoon inlet restoration, San Diego River restoration and Arundo removal, a bioassessment tool development project, and a Chollas Creek restoration opportunities assessment. The remaining Administrative Civil Liability of $1,610,332 will be deposited into a Cleanup and Abatement Account to be used for remediation of pollution in state waters. The

Cleanup and Abatement Account was created by the Legislature to provide public agencies with funds for the cleanup or abatement of pollution when there are no responsible parties available to undertake the work. Eligible entities that can apply for this funding include public agencies, as well as certain nonprofit organizations and tribal governments that serve a disadvantaged community and have the authority to clean up or abate the effects of waste. Throughout the settlement negotiations, the city undertook a number of important steps to correct internal deficiencies, including significantly increasing the number of city inspectors responsible for overseeing compliance with ordinances at construction sites, as well as augmenting ongoing training requirements for inspectors. The city also implemented a number of actions to improve communication and coordination among departments with construction oversight responsibility, which has included development of a unified interdepartmental construction site database.

Shields' TKO in 5th over Adler gives her WBC and IBF titles

Claressa Shields acknowledges the crowd before her women’s WBC super middleweight boxing bout against Nikki Adler of Germany, in Detroit.

By Larry Lage DETROIT -- Claressa Shields is calling herself the GWOAT. In the boxing ring, it’s hard to argue with her boast of being the Greatest Woman Of All Time. “Who’s better than me?” Shields asked after pummeling Nikki Adler, giving the twotime Olympic champion the Women’s WBC and IBF Super Middleweight world titles. “I don’t know of anybody yet. And if I do find somebody, I’m ready to take her out.” The lopsided fight was mercifully stopped at 1:34 of the fifth round, awarding Shields a victory by technical knockout. She used a combination of powerful punches that left

Adler defenseless in a matchup of previously unbeaten boxers. “I felt tired and weak in the ring,” Adler said after her U.S. debut. She looked tired and weak, too. The 22-year-old Shields took control against the 30-year-old Adler in the opening round, landing a flurry of blows that sent her staggering against the ropes. Shields (4-0, 2 KOs) didn’t let up in the second, stunning Adler (16-1) with a left hook midway through the round. Shields went to her body in the third round before aiming high in the fourth, hitting Adler squarely in the face with a right that seemed to set up the end of the fight in the fifth. In the end, Shields landed 136 of 340 punches while Adler connected on just 6 of 84. In the first and fifth round, Adler failed to connect once. “She wouldn’t punch,” Shields said. “Then when the hook stumbled her, I said, ‘Oh man, she ain’t got no chin?’ When I saw that, I was like, ‘It’s going to be an early night for her.’ I thought she was a bit tougher. I must’ve hurt her really bad because she stopped punching and I dominated after the first round.” WBO and WBC middleweight champion Christina Hammer (21-0, 9 KOs) watched the bout near the ring, scouting potential opponents and rooting against Adler, who also lives in Germany. “I hope to fight Claressa next year,” Hammer said, wearing a gold dress and displaying her championship belts in an empty seat next to her. Hammer, who is from Kazakhstan, got her wish and some advice from Shields as both stood near each other during post-fight interviews. “She better keep her hands up,” Shields said. “You are not as good as me,” Hammer flatly told Shields in the ring. The nearly 1,000 fans who filled a ballroom at the MGM Grand Detroit loved the dominating performance, cheering for a fighter from Flint, Michigan, who seemed to have a lot of supporters that made the hour-long drive from her hometown. She is the only American, male or female, to win boxing gold medal since Ward captured one in Athens in 2004. The only other U.S. boxer to win two Olympic gold medals is Oliver Kirk, who won took bantamweight and featherweight titles at the 1904 Olympics.

Turner expects the 'overlooked' Calvin Johnson drawing interest Myles Pacers to make the playoffs this season from teams Calvin Johnson

By Charean Williams Calvin Johnson has had at least a “half-dozen teams” reach out to him about coming out of retirement, according to Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report. Johnson thus far has resisted the temptation to return, but per Freeman, the attempts by teams to convince Johnson to make a comeback are “fairly fierce.” The nine-year veteran, though, retired as a Lion and the Lions still retain his rights. That’s why Tony Romo asked for his release when he retired. It’s also why Marshawn Lynch, who wasn’t released when he retired, had to wait until

the Raiders could work out a trade with the Seahawks. Johnson recently started his own business as a private receivers consultant. He spent time with the Dolphins this week as Miami receivers coach Shawn Jefferson served as Johnson’s

position coach with the Lions. Johnson worked with the Raiders during Organized Team Activities. Johnson made 88 receptions for 1,214 yards and nine touchdowns in 2015 in making his sixth consecutive Pro Bowl.

By Jack Maloney The Indiana Pacers lost their best player this summer, trading Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis after the All-Star forward informed the team that he would not re-sign with them in the summer of 2018. That hasn’t, however, phased the team’s new face of the franchise, Myles Turner, who said during a recent interview that he still expects the Pacers to make the playoffs. Via the Indy Star: “I want to start establishing myself as a leader in this league and on this team,” he said. “I know I’m quite young compared

Myles Turner

to a lot of guys on this team, but the best time is to start young.” “I feel like we’re definitely going to be over-

looked this year,” he said of the Pacers. “A lot of people look at us as young team that’s going to rebuild, but we’re a young team that’s trying to compete. We’ve got a lot of guys who can come in and make an impact right away. I expect to make the playoffs this year.” The Eastern Conference is certainly not as strong as the Western Conference, and it might only take about 40 wins to make the playoffs. Still, it’s hard to see the Pacers having the same kind of record as they did last season (42-40) after losing George, as well as Jeff Teague and C.J. Miles, this summer.

The Art of the Seam!

Chrysler Museum Honors

Baseball Folk Artist

(NewsUSA) - All artists have one thing in common -they start with a blank canvas. In the case of George Sosnak, a folk artist whose work is being exhibited through August at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Va., his canvas of choice happened to be a part of America's favorite pastime -- baseball. To understand the artist, you have to understand the medium, its history, and the man behind the art. It was around this small, leather ball that the artist found a way to express his love of the game. While Sosnak was passionate about baseball, he was athletically unskilled as a player. So, he did the next best thing -- he became an umpire. After World War II, he landed in the Pioneer League for the 1956-1958 seasons, later going on to umpire in the Three-I League (Iowa, Idaho, and Indiana) and Southern Association, before both leagues folded. With that, his dream of becoming a Major League umpire died. The Artist Within Emerges His calling to art came in the form of an odd request from a female fan while he was umpiring a game in Idaho in 1956: Could he paint her favorite player on a baseball?

The artist pays homage to Carl "Yaz" Yastrzemski, from the Boston Red Sox

From there, the seed of an idea began and became an outlet for Sosnak to maintain his passion and connection to baseball in a way that he had never envisioned. Demand soon followed -- from politicians to U.S. presidents to baseball players and fans to foreign dignitaries, sportswriters, churches, and charities. On occasion, Sosnak would be paid for his work; oftentimes, he would give the baseball to the player, person, or organization as a gift. Over time, as with any artist, Sosnak's technique developed to the point that baseballs became murals for his work. Using India ink, Sosnak would meticulously and elaborately cover the ball with microscopic text and colorful backgrounds. Many times, he would include logos from a certain team, using arcane material that he researched, commemorating BASEBALL, See page 9B

Portland Mayor Chooses African Man To Change Plea To Guilty American As Next Police Chief In Deadly Jail Escape

Danielle Outlaw

PORTLAND, Ore. — A woman with 19 years of experience at the Oakland, California, police department was chosen to serve as Portland, Oregon’s next police chief. Danielle Outlaw, who has served as deputy chief in Oakland since 2013, was appointed by Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. Outlaw, 41, will take command of a force that has struggled with a staffing shortage; noncompliance with a federal settlement agreement that requires changes to bureau policies, training and community engagement; ongoing controversies about the police handling of large protests; and a breakdown in trust with community members.

Wheeler said Outlaw shares his goals of improving relationships with Portland’s communities of color, increasing diversity on the 950-member force and embracing equity. “I have concrete goals for the Portland Police Bureau, all of them challenging to achieve,” Wheeler said in a statement. “I need a partner. I need a leader. More than that, I need someone with a passion for this work who will be in it for the long haul. Danielle Outlaw is that person.” The mayor selected Outlaw from 33 candidates after a national search that lasted less than three months and was conducted largely behind closed doors with input from a select group of community members.

Four Escorts Charged With Death Of A Mississippi Man

(Photo Credit: Mississippi County Sheriff’s Department)

By Diannah Watson Four Memphis, Tennessee women are facing murder charges in connection with the shooting and killing of a Wilson City, Missouri man. 28-year-old Brittany Curry, 23-year-old Ponesha Taylor, 19-year-old Johniesha Simmons and 23-year-old Lauteshia Dotson were charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. Ralph Edward Cross, 55. was found in his house on August 1 with a gun shot wound to the back. These four women worked as escorts. The women stopped outside of Cross’ house because they reportedly had a flat tire. Cross offered them assistance by buying them a new tire. According to authorities he then invited them into his house for the night. During interviews of the suspects with investigators,

two of the women said that Brittney Curry was the one that shot and killed Ralph Edward Cross. Court documents say that Cross was last seen at his house between 6:30 am and 6:45 am. According to an eye witness, Cross was in an argument with three women outside of his house. The fourth woman was sitting in the driver’s seat of a white car that was parked out front. As he walked away, the witness heard a noise and saw the three women jump into the car. In the process of the investigation, evidence was found that one of the women had been inside of Cross’ car. A finger print found in the car matched the prints of Lauteshia Dotson. The women turned themselves in after their family and friends saw coverage of the story.

“My life’s passion is policing. I want to make a positive difference in the lives of my fellow officers and the residents of the community,” Outlaw said in a prepared statement released by the mayor’s office. “Portland is an amazing city. I am humbled by the tremendous opportunity in front of me, and am ready to get to work.” The pick ends current police Chief Mike Marshman’s year-long tenure at the helm. Former Mayor Charles Hales appointed Marshman as chief in June 2016, after former Chief Larry O’Dea retired amid a criminal investigation into his off-duty shooting of a friend during a camping trip in southeastern Oregon. Wheeler praised Marshman’s brief tenure. “Mike Marshman made tremendous strides in key areas during his time as Chief,” Wheeler said. Marshman learned of the selection in a meeting with the mayor. “It has been an honor to serve as Chief of Police and to serve this community throughout my career,” he said in a statement. Marshman plans to retire, the statement said, and assistant chief Chris Uehara will be named interim chief until Outlaw takes on her new role. Outlaw’s resume includes earning a bachelor of arts in sociology from the University of San Francisco and a master’s degree in business administration from Pepperdine University. Outlaw will earn $215,000 annually and is expected to start no later than Oct. 2.

Wesley Correa-Carmenaty is led into the Woodbury County Jail in Sioux City, Iowa. Prosecutors say the man charged with killing a sheriff’s deputy and wounding another while escaping from an Iowa jail will plead guilty.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — A man charged with killing a sheriff’s deputy and wounding another while escaping from an Iowa jail will plead guilty, prosecutors said. The Pottawattamie County Attorney’s Office said an attorney for Wesley CorreaCarmenaty, 24, informed officials of the change. No plea bargain was made in the case, and Correa-Carmenaty still faces charges of murder, attempted murder, escape, kidnapping and other crimes, the office said in a news release. Correa-Carmenaty’s trial was due to start Tuesday in Council Bluffs, but there instead will be a change of

plea hearing that day. Correa-Carmenaty had just been sentenced on May 1 to 45 years in prison in an unrelated murder case and was being taken from the courthouse to the Pottawattamie County Jail when the fatal assault occurred, officials have said. Authorities say CorreaCarmenaty was in handcuffs and leg shackles as he was being transported in a jail van, but managed to unlock them by the time the van reached the jail. A struggle ensued, and Correa-Carmenaty managed to grab a gun of one of the deputies, officials said, shooting Deputy Mark Burbridge in the

head and Deputy Pat Morgan in the abdomen before taking both deputies’ guns, ammunition and the keys to the van. Burbridge died and Morgan survived. Correa-Carmenaty then drove a transport van through a jail garage door, abandoning it a few blocks away, authorities said. Authorities say he tried to carjack a truck, shooting and wounding a man inside it, and then carjacked a woman and drove across the state border into Omaha, Nebraska, where he let the woman go. He was arrested there a short time later after crashing during a high-speed chase with police.

Spotlight on Health: Senior Living:

Sleep Apnea And Insomnia Preventing Heat Stress and Go Undiagnosed In Blacks At An Alarming Rate

By Ruthie Hawkins Despite a rise in many sleep disorders, a good portion of the African American community continues to go undiagnosed, even when the severity may affect their livelihood, per new research presented at the ATS 2017 International Conference. “African Americans experience a disproportionate burden of numerous health problems, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, all of which have been shown to be associated with sleep,” lead study author Dayna A. Johnson, PhD, MPH, MS, MSW, a postdoctoral research fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, said in a statement. Sleep apnea is defined

as a chronic health problem which affects breathing during sleep. It affects an estimated 18 million Americans and can worsen over time, if left untreated. Insomnia, on the other hand, is the inability to sleep. Short-term insomnia (which lasts less than three months) plagues 15 to 20 percent of people in the U.S., per the National Sleep Foundation. The dangers are eyeopening, at best. The Sleep Disorders Guide states that sleep apnea sufferers are six times more likely to die in a car accident – due to sleepiness. Nearly half of all hospital patients with hypertension are also afflicted with sleep apnea. Conversely, roughly half of all sleep apnea sufferers face a diagnosis of high blood pressure. The National

Commission on Sleep Disorders Research also reports that approximately 38,000 deaths occur annually that relate to cardiovascular problems, that in one way or another have been linked to sleep apnea. Previous research, conducted by the University of California San Diego — which studied 54 African Americans and 346 Caucasians for the presence of sleep apnea — found that 17 percent of African American test subjects had a case of obstructive sleep apnea present, compared to 8 percent of the Caucasian subjects. Dr. Johnson believes that treating these sleep disorders, “could drastically improve quality of life and reduce the burden of subsequent adverse health outcomes.”

Heat Stroke in Seniors

For many people, summer is the year’s most enjoyable season. But for seniors, the extreme temperatures of August can represent a serious health concern. There are many reasons why heat stroke is a particular concern among the elderly. Unlike younger adults, seniors’ bodies have trouble regulating temperature. As a result, seniors can experience heat stress more quickly than others. Seniors also have more trouble detecting changes in their own body temperature, so they often rely on family members, friends, or elderly care providers to look out for signs of heat stress. Finally, seniors’ existing medical conditions can put them at higher risk of complications or medical episodes during heat stress. If you are concerned about heat stress and heat stroke in an elderly loved one, the following information will help you keep your loved one protected. Preventing Heat Stress in Seniors

While heat stress and heat stroke are considerable dangers for seniors, there are steps you can take to lower the risk of heat stress in the elderly. As soon as it starts to get hot out, there are a number of things you can do to limit your loved one’s risk of heat stress: • Ensure seniors drink plenty of fluids when the temperature rises. • If possible, keep seniors in a cool, climate-controlled area, especially during the warmest times of the day. • When going outdoors, have seniors wear plenty of sunscreen. • Have seniors wear light and loose clothing and a shady hat when outdoors. • Keep seniors in shady areas as much as possible and prevent exposure to direct sunlight. • Make sure seniors don’t over-exert themselves when experiencing hot temperatures. Know the Signs of Heat Stress & Heat Stroke If you are an elderly care provider for a family mem-

ber, it is important that you are aware of the signs of heat stress and heat stroke. This way, if your loved one begins to experience heat-related distress, you will be able to take immediate action. Some of the signs of heat stress (body temperature between 99° F and 102° F) you should be aware of include: • Skin appears pale, is cool to the touch • Complaints of muscle cramps, headache, dizziness, or nausea • Excessive sweating • Pulse becomes faster and weaker • Breathing becomes faster and more shallow • Person appears tired or weak A person suffering from heat stress may quickly develop heat stroke (body temperature above 103° F) — a dangerous and life-threatening condition. Once a person begins to suffer from heat stroke, their symptoms may change, and can include: HEAT, See page 9B

By Jackie Edwards Getting older might inhibit how much you can exercise, but even small, gentle bouts of fitness go a long way to making your body and mind more youthful. A Swedish study found that physical activity is the main contributor to a longer life, even if you only start working out during your later years! Here are some of the best “fountain of youth” exercises to add to your day. Squat! Simple squatting exercises are great for strengthening your legs, which in turn keeps your mind young. Yes, really. According to a study published in Gerontology that monitored twins over a decade, researchers found a positive link between strong leg muscles and brain performance when it came to things like thinking, learning, and memory. Although scientists don’t know exactly why this is the case, it’s proof that exercise has all-round benefits for your wellbeing. If you feel unsteady while doing squats, hold the spine of a chair for support. Lift Weights Lifting weights regularly makes a huge difference to your bone health. In fact, just doing it three times a week for half an hour at a time will combat osteoporosis, according to an article in the Huffington Post. Why? Weight-lifting helps to prevent bone loss while increasing bone density. HIIT High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is when you exercise for short, intense bursts, followed by minutes of gentler movement; for

instance, if you sprint for a few minutes and then walk for a few minutes. One of the main reasons why HIIT is so good for you is that it forces your mitochondria to work much harder. The mitochondria are minute energy factories inside all of our cells that make use of energy. If you have more mitochondria, you’ll be using energy much more effectively. If you’re feeling low on energy as you get older, your mitochondria could be to blame, so HIIT workouts make you youthful and feel more energized. Visit The Treadmill Instead Of The Doctor There are some serious illnesses that can be prevented by exercise, such as diabetes, stroke and depression, to name just a few. Exercise prevents disease because of its effect on the body’s telomeres. These are DNA strands on chromosomes that protect it against damage. Over time, these telomeres start to break down, which kill off healthy cells, causing disease. Exercise helps to prevent these telomeres from wear and tear. How much exercise do

you need to reap the benefits? Approximately 14 minutes a day! Walking is an easy way to prevent telomere damage because it’s simple to incorporate into your days. You’ll be racking up the minutes of exercise and its benefits in no time! Tai Chi As you get older, you increase your risk of experiencing falls and fractures. This is because your spine and muscles are not as strong as they used to be. Luckily, you can turn back the clock with age-defying Tai Chi. This Chinese martial art aligns your mind, spirit and body. It’s focused on improving your balance, which can help to prevent falls, as well as boosting lower body strength. It also encourages deep breathing, which is a bonus because meditation sharpens the mind while reducing stress, preventing age-related cognitive decline. If you make exercise a part of your regular routine, your brain and body will be healthier and younger. Exercise extends your lifespan while keeping serious illnesses at bay, so get moving and reap the rewards.

This is How Serious the Opioid Exercises That Help Slow Aging Crisis Has Become

(NewsUSA) - Lest there be any doubt that we're in the midst of an opioid abuse crisis, September has been declared “Drug-Free Pain Management Awareness Month.” Emphasis on “drug-free.” Lost in the headlines over the sheer number of deaths from overdoses of the drugs -- more than 90 Americans each day -- is how all too many patients' downward spiral began with what must have seemed like a routine initial doctor's prescription for painkillers like OxyContin. “It’s become a sadly common story,” NPR reported. “People get prescribed painkillers. They become addicted. And then they seek out cheaper and more potent drugs like heroin and synthetic opioids.”

September has been declared “Drug-Free Pain Management Awareness Month.”

That the September designation comes from the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, and is included on the SHSMD/American Hospital Association's Calendar of Health Observances & Recognition Days, makes perfect sense.

Many health experts have long backed a “chiropracticfirst” approach -- arguing that it was an effective, safer way of addressing many patients' spine and joint-related pain. Still others got on board after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year finally began urging physicians to use alternatives to opioids and the American College of Physicians recommended spinal manipulation. The month-long series of nationwide events -open to the public, state legislators, and healthcare professionals -- will highlight the value of chiropractic for seniors, athletes, pregnant women, military veterans, and other pain sufferers. “I’m living proof that chiropractic works,” said Ret. Brig. Gen. Becky Halstead, who made history as the first female graduate of West Point (1981) to be promoted to General Officer. Halstead, the events' honorary chairperson, credits her own chiropractor for finally relieving the pain from her chronic fibromyalgia. For more information, visit www.drugfreepaincare.org.

RALLY From page 1A family of Arlington and descendants of Martha Washington,” the Chicago Tribune reported. “When Lee’s father-in-law died, he took leave from the U.S. Army to run the struggling estate and met resistance from slaves expecting to be freed.” According to the Tribune, “Documents show Lee was a cruel figure with his slaves and encouraged his overseers to severely beat slaves captured after trying to escape. One slave said Lee was one of the meanest men she had ever met.” Fields’ mother, Samantha Bloom, told the Associated Press, that she thought her son was attending a political rally, “that had something to do with Trump” and that she tried to stay out of her son’s political views. Media reports have described, Heather Heyer, 32, the lone fatality in Saturday’s tragedy, as a paralegal from Greene County, Va, and a supporter of Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.). Heyer was in Charlottesville to protest against the White nationalist rally in Charlottesville. Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer called Heyer’s killing and the injury of others by a vehicle at a rally in the city a “terrorist attack with a car used as a weapon,” according to ABC News. In a statement about the violence and the White nationalist march in Charlottesville, Neera Tanden, the president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, said that events over the weekend are another stark and disturbing reminder that violent extremism continues to exist in our neighborhoods and communities. “All of us at the Center for American Progress condemn in the strongest possible terms the racist and derogatory rhetoric and behavior on display,” said Tanden. In a statement from his New Jersey golf club, President Donald

Trump said that he condemned the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides.” Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke said that the White nationalists’ protest represented a turning point for this country. We are determined to take this country back. We’re gonna fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in,” Duke said in a video posted to Twitter. “That’s why we voted for Donald Trump because he said he’s going to take our country back.” Facing sharp criticism for the president’s initial response to the tragedy, the White House issued a follow-up statement that included a stronger rebuke of “White supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis and all extremist groups.” Tanden said that throughout the campaign and in his brief presidency, Trump has had many opportunities to not just fully distance his administration from those allied with Nazi sympathizers and the KKK but also to denounce them. “To be clear, there is only one side that wishes to provoke hate and violence, and there is only one side that committed an apparent act of terrorism [in Charlottesville,” said Tanden. “Nazis and White nationalists showed up to cause harm and unrest in Charlottesville. Their racism, hatred, and bigotry have no place in our society.” Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., the president and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) tweeted that the Black Press condemned the racial hatred and violence in Charlottesville. “Love presupposes justice, equality, freedom, and empowerment. Hate renders only more hatred,” Chavis tweeted. Echoing Tanden’s concerns about the president’s dithering remarks about the White nationalist movement, Congressman Cedric Richmond, (D-La.) said that since the campaign, President Trump has encouraged and emboldened the type of racism and violence that occurred in Charlottesville. “This is a president after all who has two White supremacists working for him in the White House—Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller,” said Richmond. “For these reasons, we weren’t surprised President Trump couldn’t bring himself to say the words ‘White supremacy,’ ‘White supremacists,’ and ‘domestic terrorism’ when he addressed the nation’ on Saturday. He instead chose to use racially coded dog whistles like ‘law and order’ and false equivalencies like ‘many sides.’ Richmond continued: “Where is Attorney General Sessions? Instead of suppressing votes and dismantling affirmative action, he should be working with the Department of Homeland Security to investigate today’s crimes. Where is the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security?” Richmond noted that the CBC urged Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security to investigate this sort of domestic terrorism, months ago. “As 49 members who represent and are part of a community who has for centuries been victimized by White supremacists, we strongly condemn what happened in Charlottesville,” said Richmond in the statement. “We also condemn the Administration’s poor response to it.” STEIN From page 1A member in the community, ponied up to the challenge. “This is the first year I’ve competed in both pumpkin and squash, but not the first year I created agriculture,” said Stein. “I’ve earned other ribbons in agriculture before. I’ve taken prizes for cucumbers.” He walked away with two awards, one being “First Award” from the 31st District Agriculture Association. The fair theme this year was, “Rooted in Tradition.” Featured exhibits included agriculture and natural resources displays, as well as museums, community, and nonprofit exhibits. This was an outstanding opportunity for farmers and ranchers, their families, employees, and farm or commodity groups and organizations to meet and greet their Ventura County neighbors. Stein shared his passion for competing. “It’s not about the prize, it’s about the fun. It’s about the growing. If I grow something and I get a prize, fine.” Stein continued, “I like showing off the produce that I grow. I’m proud of what I grow.” Stein has grown grapes, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers. He expressed how great of a time he has growing. The great agriculture in Oxnard, including Ventura County, allows Stein to be able to grow year-round. He also gave a very helpful trick of the trade. Stein uses natural flowers to keep pests off his awardwinning vegetables. “I grow different types of natural flowers around the house and outside. Since they are marigolds and sunflowers, they keep some of the harmful bugs away. I use bark on the base so I don’t get problems from the soil.” The mission of the Agriculture & Natural Resources Department is to create a forum that entertains and educates the people of the 31st District Agricultural Association while showcasing the agriculture and natural resources of Ventura

TRUMP From page 1A the Charlottesville, Virginia, violence for who they were, domestic terrorist. The Neo-Nazis, Klu Klux Klan, and David Duke were out in force in support of those who were openly promoting white supremacy and anti-semitism. The overwhelming police presence usually associated with a “Black Lives Matter” protest or demonstration was obviously missing from this white supremacy demonstration. With the unprecedented violence associated with the demonstration, no arrests were made until vehicular homicide was committed. Racism in America has traditionally been a clash between white and black. This is no longer the case. The cultural and social landscape of America is no longer White Master and Black Slave. Time has proven that “White” and “Black” are simply labels designed to separate master from slave, rich from poor, privileged from controlled, and intelligent from uneducated. In today’s America, every person with fair skin and straight or silky hair is not “White” and every person with ebony skin and coarse black hair is not “Black”. The Charlottesville, Virginia, demonstration was opposing ideologies rather than opposing races. Trump covered his ass with his violent supporters by not naming the terrorist groups responsible for this carnage. Two police officers died during the melee as well as a 32-year-old mother with many others injured, and he made no mention of the dead police, the injured, nor the dead woman. Where was the “Law and Order” rhetoric that accompanies each incident that involves Black participants? He simply “All Lives Mattered” this terrorist activity. “We’re closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia,” Trump said. “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. On many sides.” The protestors included ministers and parishioners who came to pray for peace. The terrorists ignored their ecumenical status and attacked them with brass knuckles and various other weapons. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke appeared at the rally saying that the event represented fulfilling the promises of President Trump. “This represents a turning point for the people of this country. We are determined to take our country back, we’re going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump, and that’s what we believed in, that’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back and that’s what we gotta do,” Duke said. His comments came as the protestors and counter-protestors clashed violently. This was Trump inspired violence. He could not condemn the perpetrators. Charlottesville displayed white males 40 and up among the neoNazis and under 40 on the side of the protesters. The Neo-Nazis, 40 and up, are the ones who want to take their country back. The question is take it back from whom? These were Trump supporters and Trump obviously recognized this and didn’t dare call them out and condemn them as would have been appropriate. As he read from his carefully scripted response, he went off script just once to include “All Sides” in his weak condemnation of the terrorist activity. Several prominent white nationalists and neo-Nazis praised Trump’s comments. The founder of the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi and white supremacist website that considers itself a part of the alt-right, celebrated the fact that Trump “outright refused to disavow” the white nationalist rally and movement. American citizens can teach racists Americans a lesson like no one has ever seen before. Let those who want their country back have it to themselves for two months. Neo-Nazis are not Americans! White Supremacists are not Americans! They have no real stake in America. Those of us who do not subscribe to racism, who believe America is now and always has been the greatest country in the world, respect the diversity and diverse talents of Americans, should stay home for two months. Don’t go to work, don’t perform any public or private services, don’t open your business, don’t use public facilities, don’t shop except for basic needs, only pay necessary bills and avoid driving and public places. Just sit tight for two months and let Trump and his terrorist supporters have America for two months to themselves. Trump says that America is broken and only he can fix it. Give Trump, his white supremacist and neo-Nazi supporters a chance to take back America and make it great again without our participation. America is great because of all of us. America needs all of us to function as the greatest nation on earth. This land belongs to all of us equally who make up this great melting pot called AMERICA.

JOKES From page 1A of a paddy wagon. You just see them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please, don’t be too nice,’” Trump told the crowd to a smattering of applause. “Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head…like don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody. I said, ‘You can take the hand away, okay?’” Trump was referring to the police practice of assisting handcuffed suspects into the back of police vehicle and protecting their heads from hitting the door frame on the way in. Some of the officers in the audience chuckled at Trump’s remarks, but negative backlash from the law enforcement community quickly spread across Twitter. “As a department, we do not and will not tolerate roughing up of prisoners,” tweeted the Suffolk County Police Department. “The SCPD has strict rules and procedures relating to the handling of prisoners. Violations of those rules are treated extremely seriously.” The two tweets that referred to the president’s remarks in Long Island gained close to 100,000 likes. In reaction to Trump’s rhetoric, New York Police Commissioner James O’Neill said that to “suggest that police officers apply any standard in the use of force other than what is reasonable and necessary is irresponsible, unprofessional and sends the wrong message to law enforcement as well as the public.” In a tweet that would receive over 48,000 retweets and 148,000 likes, the Gainsville, Fla., police department put out a message that read: “The @POTUS made remarks today that endorsed and condoned police brutality. GPD rejects these remarks and continues to serve with respect.” In an emailed letter to employees, acting Drug Enforcement Administrator Chuck Rosenberg wrote, “In writing to you, I seek to advance no political, partisan, or personal agenda. Nor do I believe that a Special Agent or Task Force Officer of the DEA would mistreat a defendant. I know that you would not.” Rosenberg’s letter continued: “I write to offer a strong reaffirmation of the operating principles to which we, as law enforcement professionals, adhere. I write because we have an obligation to speak out when something is wrong. That’s what law enforcement officers do. That’s what you do. We fix stuff. At least, we try.” Rosenberg said that law enforcement officers must earn and keep the public trust. “Ours is an honorable profession and, so, we will always act honorably,” Rosenberg wrote. A few days after Trump’s speech, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump was “joking” when he seemed to encourage police brutality at Suffolk County Community College.

REFORM From page 2A Obamacare that would have provided health care to poor working people of all races. He personally signed some 200,000 clemency grants of those who had served their sentences so that they could regain the right to vote and be reintegrated into the political community. His denunciation was important; his actions even more so. We applaud Republicans who, unlike Trump, call out the neo-Nazis and the Klansmen. But the measure of their sincerity is how they act. The Trump Department of Justice, under former Alabama Sen. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, has moved consistently to reverse and weaken civil rights. He’s turned away from reforming discriminatory practices of police departments, even as Trump has celebrated police brutality. He’s turned civil rights laws on their head, gearing up to investigate university affirmative action programs that allegedly discriminate against whites. He’s backed off enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, which he has called “intrusive,” opening the door to more efforts to suppress the vote. Trump has pushed for a selective ban on Muslim travelers to the U.S., and he continues to prey on immigrants and posture on his “wall.” The Republican Congress, with its push to strip millions of health insurance to pay for tax breaks for millionaires, and its budget plans to cut top-end taxes while gutting funding for education and for food and housing programs that support the most vulnerable, only adds to our entrenched injustice. The Republicans’ actions speak much louder than their words. America has come a long way from the horrors of slavery and segregation. We are a better people and a better country for that struggle. Yet, as Charlottesville revealed once more, hatred and racism still fester. Unprincipled politicians can still play on race and intolerance for their own purposes. Violent hate groups are literally on the march. These must be denounced, even as we celebrate Heather Heyer and the forces of conscience. We must also act. A good response to Charlottesville would be a massive voting coalition to drive out the forces of division and push for a new era of reform. We must act, change the institutionalization of bias, protect and extend the right to vote, and fight to ensure equal justice and opportunity for all. PLEASURE From page 2A because of something. It involves some kind of gratification or sense of satisfaction. It is the result, rather than the idea or the doing that brings this type of pleasure. Back to the gym: Delight is when you can fit into your jeans again because of the gym! Or feeling better because you worked off that energy on the treadmill or melted away the day on the yoga mat. Delight involves a specific effect or result. Brand Pleasures In thinking about some examples in brand terms, we need to focus on what the brand does for people. Here are some car examples based on the brand slogans: For joy brands,Volvo focuses on the celebrating a sense of connection to safety – Volvo for Life and Toyota on connecting to your aspirations – Let’s Go Places, or their previous slogan, Moving Forward It’s not too hard to come up with a Thrill brand – all about the experience of the product or service: BMW focuses on the experience of driving the car – The Ultimate Driving Machine and Sheer Driving Pleasure Now, for the Delight brands, I think about brands with an outcome, like Lexus, with The Pursuit of Perfection and Hyundai with Drive Your Way. Your response to these types of slogans will tell you something about yourself. What is your pleasure type – Joy, Delight, or Thrill?

JUSTICE From page 2A of Education,” or a series of 1960s laws that were enacted to guarantee full and first-class citizenship to every Black American, even more work remains to be done before everyone is afforded the promises of America. It’s been several years since the anti-affirmation action crusade took its venomous campaign to states across the country. Beginning in California in 1996 and continuing through 2010, Ward Connerly, a former University of California Regent, led a series of

statewide campaigns to constitutionally ban affirmative action in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Washington State. Regardless of the state, the goal was always the same: make it illegal for public colleges and universities to include consideration of race or ethnicity in college admissions. Only in Colorado was the effort turned back by voters. In all of the other locales, the measure passed with broad support, often despite many business and corporate leaders joining with civil rights advocates in opposition. For example, prior to the November 2006 “Proposal 2” ballot vote in Michigan, Paul Hillegonds, a White Republican and former Speaker of the State House, helped to lead a statewide coalition of more than 200 organizations pledged to defeat the measure. “If it passes, we are announcing to the world that women and minorities will not be given an equal opportunity to succeed in business in our state,” said Hillegonds. “This is the wrong message to send at a time when we are trying to attract new businesses and develop a talented, multicultural workforce ready to meet the demands of the 21st century economy.” State-approved bans on affirmative action in higher education also led to fewer Black students in the University of California system as well as at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Today the real difference between then and now is that the U.S. Justice Department is resuming a fight for the preservation of White privilege that is armed with resources and personnel that taxpayers of all colors provide. “President Trump’s Justice Department has hardly been worthy of its name,” said Sherrilynn A. Ifill, president and directorcounsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. “It has retreated from meaningful police reform, argued on behalf of state laws that suppress minority voting rights, directed prosecutors to seek harsh sentences for nonviolent drug offenses, and extended the federal government’s power to seize the property of innocent Americans.” Ifill continued: “Each of these steps disproportionately and systematically burdens people of color, denying them their constitutional rights and widening the racial divides that this country has struggled for so long to close.” The United States Supreme Court recently affirmed the use of affirmative action in admissions decisions in the “Fisher v. University of Texas” case. In that ruling, the importance of diversity as a compelling state interest was affirmed as settled law. The decision was also a victory for equal opportunity and recognized again that it is critical for schools to create diverse and inclusive student bodies. As the cost of higher education tends to increase every year, students of color are the ones most likely to go into debt in search of a degree that will deliver a middle class standard of living. Even four years after graduation, Black college graduates earning a bachelor’s degree owe almost double the debt of their White classmates, according to CRL research. “The U.S. Justice Department must enforce inclusive educational policies as they open the doors of opportunity for all,” said Bailey.

News from the D.A. VENTURA - District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced that a jury has found Isaac Sinsun, of Oxnard, guilty of firstdegree murder for the shooting death of Joaquin Castaneda. On November 13, 2005, officers of the Oxnard Police Department responded to the call of a gunshot victim in the 900 block of Richmond Avenue in Oxnard.

Investigation by Oxnard police officers determined that Mr. Castaneda had been shot while inside his car, removed from the car onto the street, and then his car was driven away from the murder scene. Mr. Castaneda’s car was found the following day, abandoned approximately 1.5 miles from the murder scene. Evidence also indicated that Mr. Castaneda had been robbed of personal property. Sinsun later made recorded admissions to participating in the shooting death of Mr. Castaneda. Sentencing for Sinsun is scheduled on August 22, 2017, at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom 44 of the Ventura Superior Court, County of Ventura. Sinsun faces the maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

News from the

Oxnard Police Dept. On December 15, 2015, Oxnard police officers and EMS personnel responded to a residence in the 1000 block of Offshore Street regarding an unresponsive person. EMS personnel attempted to provide medical aid; however, the person was pronounced deceased at the scene. The deceased person was later identified as 32-year-old Oxnard resident Christopher Ariaz. Officers located Ryan Tepezano evidence of drug use at the scene. An autopsy later confirmed that Ariaz died as a result of a heroin overdose. In the early morning hours of January 28, 2016, detectives from the Ventura County Narcotics Task Force and members of the Oxnard Police Department’s Special Enforcement Unit (SEU) served search warrants at two residences next door to one another in the 2000 block of Curran Street in the City of Oxnard. During the search warrant service, Ryan Tepezano was arrested for maintaining a place for drug use and/or sales, being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of narcotics paraphernalia, and felon in possession of a firearm. Tepezano was booked into the Ventura County Jail and later pled guilty to the above listed charges. On April 27, 2016, detectives with the Ventura County Narcotics Task Force concluded their investigation into the death of Christopher Ariaz and presented the case to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office. Based on their investigation, detectives believed that Tepezano provided Ariaz with heroin, which resulted in his death. Tepezano was arrested for manslaughter and for selling illegal narcotics with the enhancement of causing great bodily injury. On August 4, 2017, Tepezano was sentenced to 3-years in jail, 3-years of mandatory supervision following his release and was ordered to pay restitution to the state and the victim’s family.

News from the Ventura Police Depart. On August 4, the Ventura Police Command Center received a 911 call of a stabbing victim outside Rookies Bar, 419 E.

Vazquez was taken into custody without incident. During the investigation, officers learned from bar security that the victim, who was working as a security guard, and Vazquez got into a verbal argument over Vazquez cutting in line outside the bar. A physical altercation occurred, and the victim was stabbed. Vazquez and a couple of his friends fled from the area on foot. A second involved subject was located, but was not arrested. At the conclusion of the investigation, Vazquez was arrested and booked into the Ventura County Jail for assault with a deadly weapon.

As a child out of East Los Angeles, Rivest Dunlap ran into more than his fair share of obstacles before finally reaching the stage. Still, his underlying dream remained unchanged; he knew he was born to make people laugh. Always one to follow his heart, Rivest quickly realized that working a 9 to 5, stuck behind a desk, wasn’t for him. While trying to find his path in life, the words of one of his elementary school teachers continued to ring through his head “you’re going to be a comedian when you grow up”. Five years ago, Rivest finally decided to take the plunge and take to the stage, and hasn’t looked back since. Pulling from life experiences and creatively poking fun at his own complex cultural identity, his unique brand of comedy has carried him to comedy clubs all over the country. Show time is 8 p.m. Levity Live is located at 591 Collection Blvd, in Oxnard. For more information, call (805) 457-5550.

Kns Rockstar rocks Ventura County Fair with "I'm Not Built To Break" School Tour Music Showcase

Ventura, CA – Key-i and Silky from the group KNS Rockstar shut the fair down on all four of their dates, drawing people from 3-years-old to 70-yearsold to the stage each day

to have a great time. They even had a 90-year-old wanting to take autograph! “We were so awesome that the fair tried to book us for night gigs which the fair never asks anyone to

do,” said KNS Rockstar. “We have a new school tour called, I'm Built To Not Break, where we motivate the crowd, then put on a great showcase. Everyone screamed, chanted our songs and were very supportive to

our We Busy Movement.” The duo received many accolades from parents, wanting KNS Rockstar to perform their positive messages for their teens. “We had a lot of parents from Ventura County whose

kids go to Deanza, Foothill, Anacapa and Balboa begging us to hit those schools because of our message. They said from what they saw at the fair, we were needed and we agreed. Also, we had parents of kids in Oxnard, Santa Paula, Fillmore, and even as far

as Las Vegas to ask that we go to their schools too.” KNS Rockstar is gearing up and going harder than ever to make sure they get into these schools and bring diversity to them. Due to recent events in our county, the group feels the KNS ROCKSTAR, See page 9B

The People’s Throb In light of the possibility of global warfare and knowing that fear is a tactic of the enemy, how do your beliefs prepare you for what is going on around you? By Gary L. Harbour

“If global warfare happens in my lifetime and tragedy destroys many lives, I shall maintain my belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and determine within my heart to maintain my inner peace, knowing that God will take care of me.”

“The Bible is the answer to telling people that global war is a sign of Christ’s second coming.”

“The Bible says that Jesus will defeat the nation’s armies that battle against Him & His church.”

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.”

“Increase my spiritual wisdom in preparation for warfare.”

“I pray and saturate myself in God’s Word; I have no fear even if North Korea attacks. I’m hidden in the name of God’s Word.”

New League of Extraordinary Women 24th Bowlful of Blues Returns to Ojai

Kickoff Unites Local Women to Strengthen Women Business Owners in Ventura County

Sue Osborn, Bonnie Atmore, Judy Warner, Betsy Chess and Marsha Bailey.

Ventura, CA - Women’s Economic Ventures (WEV) hosted a group of influential women leaders from Ventura County at the kick off of their new League of Extraordinary Women held at the Atmore Ranch on Tuesday, July 25th. More than 50 guests gathered at the ranch to hear several speakers discuss how the new group will help to strengthen women-owned businesses and elevate women in our community. “This was an extraordinary evening for all of us,” said Cheryl Heitmann, a co-chair of the event who serves on WEV’s Board of Directors. “The outdoor setting was beautiful and the information shared was important. While women now own 36% of all businesses, 71% of those businesses

generate less than $25,000 in annual revenues. We need to support women in our community so they can be more successful.” Already including more than 40 members, WEV’s new League of Extraordinary Women will provide an opportunity for members to meet and combine their efforts and resources to help strengthen women-owned businesses and elevate women in our community. Along, with Heitmann, the event was co-chaired by WEV board member Elena Brokaw, hosted by Bonnie Atmore and featured Penny Henschel, owner of Ever After Designs, a WEV client business. Henschel, who has been participating in WEV’s business consulting program Thrive in Five® for 3 years, is a per-

fect example of the type of business owner the League is working to help. “Since joining Thrive in Five® my gross income has nearly tripled” said Henschel. “I’m in my third location and have gained some really great corporate clients. I like to say this is where preparation meets opportunity.” Marsha Bailey, Founder and CEO of WEV also spoke at the event. “Women entrepreneurs have the capacity to grow U.S. GDP by 9 points or more,” said Bailey. “Unfortunately, neither our government nor private investors are banking on women in a big way so we must find other means to get them the capital and support they need. The League provides its members a great way to lend their voice, guidance WOMEN, See page 9B

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: 9/7/2017 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Ave, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Center. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: /S/Amber Rodriguez, Esq.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: SEP 07, 2017 at Time: 9:00AM in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Probate.

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.

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.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The undersigned caused the 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of 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 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 informa-

tion. 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 (877)440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www.mkconsultantsinc. com, using the file number assigned to this case F17-00023. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The best way to verify postpone-

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

BASEBALL From page 6A everything from a player's stats to the night of Aug. 6, 1967 when Dean Chance of the Minnesota Twins pitched a perfect no-hitter against the Red Sox for five innings before the game was called because of rain. Collectors Abound Before his death in 1992, auction houses believe Sosnak created somewhere between 800 and 3,000 baseballs. As for worth, prices started creeping up posthumously as more people realized the individuality of his work. In 2009, the market was anywhere from $500 to several thousand dollars for a ball. For fans who may not be able to afford a Sosnak baseball but would love to see his work, the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA., is exhibiting his baseballs until Aug. 27. Admission is free. "His work combines the whimsical, artistic expression with endless statistics and game descriptions, that are so beloved by baseball fans," says Susan Leidy, deputy director of the museum. "Even if you're not a folk art fan, it's fun to see every possible detail about someone's career [because] everything is on these balls in the tiniest possible writing."

You should try to get their temperature to below 102° F as quickly as possible. • When on the phone with 911, follow all directives provided by the emergency personnel. If you are concerned about heat stress and heat stroke for an elderly family member, but worry that you can’t be there to monitor your loved one during heat waves and other high-heat periods, you may wish to consider home elderly care.

Le’Shune has served actively wherever her husband has been assigned. A native of Waynesboro, Georgia, she currently serves in the Women’s Missionary Society and is President of the Usher Board. The Clarks reside in Oxnard where Louis just graduated from Santa Clara High School and will be attending San Diego State University, majoring in Engineering. Earlier this year (February 14), the Clarks celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary. Although it has been stated before, there is just no other way to describe the Clarks and their ministry than to say they are devoted to serving in God’s vineyard; they are devoted to each other and their family. Their level of devotion and genuine warmth towards each other and to those they come in contact with is clearly discernible. This made the celebration all the more worthy and enjoyable. To God be the glory for the great things He has done, and for sending the Clarks our way!”

HEAT From page 8A • Skins turns red, becomes hot to the touch • Person stops sweating, skin feels dry • Severe headache, dizziness, and nausea • Pulse very rapid and weak • Breathing increasingly shallow • Fainting How to Treat Heat Stress & Heat Stroke in Seniors If you believe an elderly person in your care is experiencing heat stress, it’s important that you take action quickly. An immediate response can be the difference between life and death in many situations. Immediate steps you should take when someone is experiencing heat stroke include: • Have someone call 911 as quickly as possible for emergency assistance. • Move the person to a cool area that is shaded from the sun. • Use any means possible to reduce the person’s body temperature.

BATTLE From page 12A gloves and robe, dancing and shadow boxing. On the back of her robe appeared “We Win.” Evangelist Shropshire introduced the host, Pastor Clark. The seminar participants were treated to a beautiful solo by Bishop Kelley’s wife, Selena Kelley, followed by dramatic poetic prose by Chandler Kelley. Evangelist Shropshire addressed the seminar guests with a biblical discussion on the connection of the Body, Soul and Spirit. Part of this segment included having the seminar guests write down lingering negative feelings, thoughts and experiences. They were then asked to tear the list into tiny pieces and discard them. Healing prayers were then administered. Pastor Clark then preached about accepting the blessings and protection of God by fully recognizing the extent of His love. This was followed by another song by Selena Kelley. Bishop “Earthquake” Kelley then took the floor. He thoroughly described the dangers of the occult. Bishop Kelley began with palm readers, admonishing the guests not to ever even touch the door knob, which is covered with demonic filth that can be passed on to others. Bishop Kelley then discussed fortune tellers, and those who muddle in fake tongues, who really communicate with death and destruction, not life and wholesome spirituality. Bishop Kelley then invited the seminar guests to come up for cleansing prayers and prophesy by Evangelist Shropshire and Pastor Clark. PASTOR From page 13A He served as an Associated Minister there until he was assigned to the Providence First AME Church

Thompson Blvd., in Ventura Mike Pinto has crafted an exceptional style of songwriting, with a truly unique take on Roots, Vintage Rock, Reggae, Ska and Classic Surf, but it’s his distinct voice and seamless storytelling that has brought him success both in the States and overseas. With the release of his debut album (Little District, 2005), Pinto began his attack on the Philadelphia music scene as a solo artist. By 2006, underground success and a rabid growing fanbase allowed him to expand westward with two nationwide solo acoustic tours. After the second tour, Pinto decided to relocate to San Diego where he immersed himself in the thriving Southern California music scene and quickly gained a name. Tickets are $10 in advance and $14 on the day of the show. The event is for all ages. For more information, call (805) 856BOWL (2695) or visit http://www.discoveryventura.com/.

Please start my subscription immediately: Saturday, August 19 at 8 p.m. at 33 East Canon Perdido St., in Santa Barbara Albert was born on December 21, 1943 in Herefordshire, England, before moving and growing up in Blackheath, London. He was first introduced to music with the piano, taking lessons aged seven, learning the classics and pop tunes before the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis inspired him to take up guitar. The U.S eventually beckoned, and Albert began doing session work and briefly toured with The Crickets in 1973. At a pivotal point in his career, Albert was asked by Emmylou Harris to replace James Burton – one of his guitar heroes – who was leaving for Elvis Presley’s band. Albert fulfilled his boyhood dream to play with the Everly Brothers in 1983 when he acted as guitarist and musical director for their reunion concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Since then he would regularly tour with the Everlys on and off for 20 years. Tickets are $40 for reserved seating and $45 on the day of the show.
