Around the Tri-Counties A Noticeable Gap Inez Knows

7-highly effective habits of those who live impeccable lives.

Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan I believe that the best life, you can have is one that is impeccable, when I say impeccable. I mean, family wholeness, financial freedom, life freedom to go and live where you want, friends that are meaningful, loyal and honest with you, fitness, this is where your physical body health and energy is where it is supposed to be for your age.

An impeccable life comes by understand the power of the right habits. Here are the seven highly effective habits of those who live impeccable lives.

1. They listen: people who live impeccable have the gift of listening to what others say, every voice is important, and every person is treated on the same level when it comes to listening. (parents, peers, partners, students, co-workers, seniors,) They

listen to the people and they understand the need to listen. They have the ability to shut their mouth and use their ears. Listening doe’s three things: (1) it demonstrates humility and that you are open to other options. (2) It teaches you how to ask great and powerful questions.(3) it helps you see things from more than one angle.

2. They learn: impeccable people are great learners. There always reading and listening to others while talking to other influential leaders.

They place a high value on growing and developing themselves. They learn from others who are not like them and they study other very successful people. They invest time and money in feeding their brain so they can grow.

3. They’re insanely courageous: impeccable people are Courageous people. They understand two things: (1) Courage means to always put others first.

(2) Courage means you take responsibility for mistakes they’ve made. They are comfortable and saying I apologize, they don’t hesitate to say I missed it.

And now, but I will make it right. In other words, they own the mistakes and they

let God turn the mistakes in the miracles.

4. They have a hopeful and positive view of life and living: Most have a very cynical view of life and most people just exist they don’t live. Impeccable people understand that things aren’t always perfect, but they are realistic, positive and hopeful while having a practical plan to slowly change how things, that need to be changed in order to influence and impact the world around them. They feel they are in partnership with God, and they allow his light to shine through them.

5. They are always looking for the best in people: people who live impeccable lives know their own talent has an expiration date. So they are always on the lookout for new and rising talent.

Finding new talent allows a impeccable people who are leaders to leave the legacy.

The goal in those who are impeccable is to pass on your wisdom, knowledge, and good fortune to others.

And especially to those who are younger and hungry for direction and discipline.

6. They never emotionally overreact: impeccable people know how to control their emotions. They are HABITS, See page 12A

Inez Lanns

By Inez Lanns It is almost that time of the year – election time!

And I have made quite a few observations over the past few months. I have sat back and watched our elected officials and those who desire to be elected into office engage in our community. I have been talking to more people dealing with anxiety and depression due to the crisis of life and different situations coming against them. There are many who are really struggling in this community.

Months ago we had a family dinner with a woman and her four children. I later found out they were staying in a homeless shelter.

Recently I also took someone to a homeless shelter because she was seeking a place to stay. Then about a week ago my daughter sat in my car and cried very large tears, pleading to allow her to give this homeless man one dollar so that he could buy 2 tacos from

Jack N The Box. There are small acts of kindness that we can all undertake to make changes in the lives of those who have less than we do. We don’t have to possess great authority, just a great level of compassion.

There are a lot of hurting people out there who need help. Sometimes they do not ask for help because of what people would think, and sometimes there is no help available to them. As we look towards participation in the electoral process my heart has been searching for our community to address these and other underlying community issues.

On one hand I see people who have the power to make decisions, who have influence to help make things better (or worse). Yet, many others have no clue about the struggles and suffering of those on our very own door steps. Some in authority in our area want to help while many others want to turn their heads and ignore these major issues going on around us. People who are struggling with day-to-day life can’t think about who they would like to elect into office or what extracurricular activities to get involved in, if they are busy trying to figure out to keep a roof over their family’s head and food on the table. The situation has really gotten out of hand. There is a song by Brandon Heath that speaks

to the sterugles that go on all around us, and yet many of us live unawares or unmoved. Some lyrics from “Give Me Your Eyes:” “All those people goin’ somewhere. Why have I never cared? Give me Your eyes for just one second.

Give me Your eyes so I can see, Everything that I keep missing. Give me Your love for humanity. Give me Your arms for the brokenhearted, The ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten. Give me Your eyes so I can see.”

Are we and our leaders in tune with the common man?

The reason I began to get involved in my community is because I am aware that decisions affecting our everyday lives are being made by some who may not be inturn with the real issues that affect other people’s lives. I have sat in many meetings with people who have good hearts and the right motives, but they really have no idea how to effectively fix some of the real life problems.

And yet we all have a part to play in effecting change, be it through voting, financial supports or contribution of our time and talents. For those without the means to make a difference in the community, electing or reelecting officals to oversee this process is of the utmost importance.

Former African Leaders Call for Beaten, Branded & Abused: Legalizing Low-Level Drugs #Save Our Girls USA

Special to the NNPA from the Global Information Network Jun. 16 (GIN) – A frank report cited by two former African presidents has called for the decriminalization of minor drug

offenses, saying that trafficking, consumption and production is undermining development in West Africa and abetting corruption.

Picking up the momentum led by some U.S. governors, the report by a

panel of African experts criticized current punitive policies which, they said, was fuelling corruption in a region where the cocaine trade alone is estimated at $1.25 billion a year – a figure which dwarfs the combined budget of several countries.

“We call on West African governments to reform drug laws and policies and decriminalize low-level and non-violent drug offences,” Olusegun Obasanjo, the commission chairman and former president of Nigeria, told reporters in Dakar, Senegal, last week. He was joined by leaders from Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Guinea, LEADERS, See page 12A

Las Vegas couple, Jerad and Amanda Miller who gunned down two police officers and a civilian before police killed the husband. The wife killed herself, according to police.

By Charlene Muhammad Special to the NNPA from The Final Call Editor’s note: This is part one of a three-part series on sexual slavery and Black America. It follows a special edition last year that explored the subject. Sex trafficking plagues young Black girls and a growing legion of advocates is working to help rescue children who’ve been pimped out and to prevent others from being snatched off buses and streets. They are trying to raise awareness about this tragedy disproportionately affecting Black girls.

This report gives an overview of the problem and accounts from advocates and law enforcement.

LOS ANGELES (FinalCall.com) - Pimping, or sex trafficking, is a multi-billion dollar industry: Some say $64 billion worldwide and approximately $10 billion inside America. But at this moment, somewhere in your community, perhaps near your home, a predator is likely working to make $150,000 to $300,000 a year by selling the bodies of Black teenage girls.

The average pimp has four to six girls, according to statistics from the U.S. Justice Department and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

While many 13- to 14-year-old girls are being

Girls are raped, beaten, branded, indoctrinated, and sold day in and day out in a lucrative sex trade.

Lt. Dawson said society needs a major shift: Children involved aren’t criminals, they’re victims.

The buyers aren’t Johns, or

sex purchasers, they’re rapists, he said.Survivors and advocates want the horror clearly identified as sex trafficking and not prostitution, especially when it comes to minors. “Child prostitution and Johns are two words that should not exist when addressing child sex trafficking because a child cannot commit to commercial sex according to state and federal law,” said GIRLS, See page 12A

Joel Campbell is the World Cup's First Breakout Star

World, meet Joel Campbell.

The 21-year-old striker for Costa Rica emerged as an early breakout star at the 2014 World Cup by contributing an emphatic goal, an incisive assist and an epic celebration to his team's 3-1 upset of Uruguay at Estadio Castelao in Fortaleza during the third day of the 32-team tourna-

ment.

"Happiness," is the word Campbell chose to describe his feelings after the match, via MLSSoccer. com. "Despite the fact that they were winning 1-0 we stayed positive. We knew that we were going to win."

A rising star on in the international stage, Campbell had scored for his country in the Gold Cup,

by Arsenal as a 19-yearold in 2011 after making his professional debut with Saprissa in his hometown in 2009. Having been loaned out to other clubs in each of his three seasons since being signed, he has yet to make his debut for manager Arsene Wenger's Premier League side. That may change after what happened in Fortaleza.

Jozy Altidore Goes Down with Hamstring Injury

U.S. striker Jozy Altidore suffered a left hamstring injury during the frenetic first half of the team's opening match in the 2014 World Cup against Ghana.

In the 21st minute, Altidore pulled up during an attacking run and immediately appeared to be in pain. The sight of the 24-year-old forward lying on the grass at Estadio das Dunas in Natal changed the mood for the U.S. team after Clint Dempsey's early goal created an early 1-0 advantage.

Altidore was stretchered off the field and replaced by Aron Johannsson. The official Twitter account of U.S. Soccer would later announce that the striker had suffered a strained left hamstring.

By Nick Solari With Carmelo Anthony determined to test free agency this summer, it appears as though two teams are emerging ahead of the pack to get the All-Star forward.

Anthony is waiting for the Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets to position themselves to offer him a contract, league sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.

Wojnarowski wrote that the 30-year-old is “leaning toward leaving in pursuit of immediate championship contention,” and that the Bulls and Rockets are at the top of his list as he waits for the two teams to “clear the necessary salary-cap space to sign him in free agency,” according to league sources.

“As re-signing with the Knicks continues to fade as his priority, Chicago and Houston have emerged as the clear frontrunners to acquire Anthony,” Wojnarowksi wrote.

Team President Phil Jackson recently expressed his desire for Anthony to return to the Knicks for

By Zachary Stieber If Floyd Mayweather will move the date of his next fight–currently September 13–then his opponent would probably be Amir Khan.

Khan took to Twitter this week to ask fans: “Who you reckon I should fight next? Pacquiao, Mayweather Marquez, Broner or Alexander?”

Khan and Mayweather would be a natural fight but the problem right now is that Khan says he wouldn’t be ready by September 13 due to his religion–he’ll be participating in Ramadan– so the date would need to be moved back.

Mayweather (46-0, 26 KOs) hasn’t shown interest in shifting the date, setting up a likely fight with Khan sometime in 2015.

As for his opponent in September, barring Khan and Manny Pacquiao, a leading candidate is Marcos Maidana, who some people believe should have won the fight earlier this year against Mayweather.

Mayweather took offense to these types of events in a post-fight press conference, reported Bad Left Hook.

Michael Sam has taken another historic step toward realizing his dream of playing in the NFL. The first openly gay player ever to be selected in the NFL Draft, Sam has signed a rookie contract with the St. Louis Rams.

The Rams announced on Thursday that they had signed all 11 players selected by the team in the 2014 NFL draft, including Sam. A first-team AllAmerican defensive lineman from the University of Missouri, Sam signed a four-year, $2.65 million contract, with $46,000 of it guaranteed, reported Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports.

All of the Rams' rookie signees went through some financial education before signing their deals.

"With the new rookie

standpoint, financial planning, those kind of things.

We’ve done a lot of that."

Sam, who came out during interviews with ESPN and The New York Times in February following a stellar season at Missouri, was the selected by the Rams with the 249th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

While many believed that Sam, who had been named the 2013 SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year, fell in the draft because he had announced that he was gay, he did not seem deterred by being the eighth-to-last selection of the 2014 NFL Draft in April.

In his first press conference with the Rams, Sam made his aim clear.

"I'm determined to be great," he told reporters.

Carmelo Anthony another year, saying that the star could then test free agency the following summer if desired.

It looks like Melo is on his way out, though. Is a possible Anthony-RoseNoah marriage going to happen? Or how about Anthony-Howard-Harden?

By Freddie Allennt ATLANTA (NNPA) – After attending a prestigious, predominately White private school, Ty’Quish Keyes yearned for a new cultural and educational experience. Keyes’ mother pushed him to excel in school and his community because she knew that college was the best way out of their crime-ridden North Philadelphia neighborhood, that held few opportunities for young, Black men.

In 2011, Keyes visited Morehouse College and found students and faculty that supported Black excellence and self-motivated, young Black men. It was a perfect fit for Keyes.

“I was visiting a whole bunch of schools and when I came to Morehouse, I realized that there was a lot of things I didn’t know about African Americans, my culture and my history,” said Philadelphia teen.

HNK Concepts, a product development company, has announced the addition of an E-book offering for the popular Fearless Five picture book series. The Fearless Five are an adorable team of young children spending their free time using their imaginations to be superheroes. The five-part picture book series, in print for two years now, offers world-class artwork with fun and exciting storylines for reading 6- to 9-year olds while also keeping 3- to 5-year olds engaged during their reading time with loved ones. One aspect that has fed the popularity of the series is that the artwork and storylines are coupled with positive themes around teamwork, determination, self-esteem, caring for others and the environment without

overpowering the fun and excitement.

When asked about expanding the series to the E-book format, Steve Johnson of HNK Concepts had this to say, “Despite our love for the printed book, we had to acknowledge and respond to the rising popularity of the tablet market. We like the idea of engaging children with technology and are determined to be a part of making them as digitally aware as possible. A dose

of digital engagement can be a great addition to a day spent reading traditional books/comics, running, building, singing, exploring and helping around the house. A child needs to spend time doing all kinds of different things so that they can learn all the cool stuff they’ll need to become confident, caring and conscientious grown-ups.”

The E-book series is available for Amazon’s Kindle, Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color and Apple’s iPad.

By Amanda L. Chan It's one of life's truths: Being bilingual or multilingual can only be considered a good thing. The ability to travel seamlessly in another country; to interact with people you wouldn't otherwise be able to communicate with; to really understand and immerse yourself in another culture, whether it be your own or another's; and on the most trivial level, to order off a menu and truly know what you're ordering.

But aside from all these reasons, there is a multitude of research showing how speaking more than one language is also good for your health -- particularly, the health of your brain. Here's where the bilingual among us have an advantage: They have better "cognitive flexibility."

Older adults who have spoken two languages since childhood seem to have

better cognitive flexibility -- meaning, they are better able to go with the flow in the face of a new or unexpected circumstance -- than adults who only speak one language, according to a Journal of Neuroscience study. The study involved having participants complete a cognitive flexibility task; while monolingual and bilingual adults were both able to complete the task, the bilingual adults did it more quickly and certain parts of their brains used less energy to do so.

As kids, they have a leg up on problem-solving skills.

Bilingual kids seem to do better on tasks examining problem-solving skills and creativity, according to a study in the International Journal of Bilingualism. The study included 121 children, about half of whom were bilingual, who were asked to complete tasks involving repeating number series, solv-

ing math problems mentally, and reproducing color block patterns, HealthDay reported.

Their brains are better switchers.

Bilingual kids may be speedier at switching between tasks, according to a Child Development study.

The study involved having bilingual and monolingual children look at images of animals or depictions of colors on a computer screen.

State News Assemblyman Gorell Praises Anacappuccino Brownley Introduces Bill to Connect Coffee Shop as “Small Business of the Year” Students with Local Manufacturing Jobs

Sacramento, CA – Assemblyman Jeff Gorell (R-Camarillo) expressed his congratulations and appreciation to Jessica Lamb, co-owner of the Anacappuccino Coffee Shop in Port Hueneme as the business was selected as the 2014 Small Business of the Year from the 44th Assembly District.

“To the credit of owners Jessica Lamb and her mother Lucia Elmore, Anacappuccino is a great example of a small business that has woven itself into the diverse tapestry of the 44th Assembly District,” stated Assemblyman Gorell. “They participate and contribute to the local Teacher of the Month program, they are active in events like the Banana

Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-Westlake Village) unveiled the American Manufacturing Jobs for Students Act (H.R. 4815), legislation intended to provide career education and counseling about local manufacturing jobs for middle and high school students.

“We need to provide the resources to help connect students with 21st century careers at businesses here in Ventura County,” said Congresswoman Brownley. “This bill is an important first step toward ensuring that students know more about job opportunities close to home.”

The bill was unveiled as part of a comprehensive package of Make It In Amer-

“Rep. Julia Brownley understands that a strong middle class begins with good manufacturing jobs

that pay well and lead to opportunities. That’s why she has been playing a leading role in the Make It In America jobs plan by introducing legislation that will encourage secondary school teachers and guidance counselors to connect students with career information and internship opportunities with local manufacturers. I have been honored to work with her on promoting this jobs plan, and I have seen firsthand the dedication with which she serves California families every day,” said Democratic Whip Hoyer.

Under current law, the Department of Education provides grants to elementary and secondary schools for student counseling services.

Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson computers in law enforcement vehicles or by phone.

“In addition to instigating an important conversation about mental illness and gun violence, the tragedy in Isla Vista has also raised questions about law enforcement protocols,”

said Jackson. “Right now, we seem to have a patchwork of inconsistent agency policy on database checks.

This bill would create consistency and ensure that law enforcement agencies are using the tools available to them to gather potentially life-saving information for themselves and others.”

In addition, Jackson is introducing Senate Bill 580 to provide additional funding for law enforcement to enforce existing guns laws.

SB 580 would provide funding to take guns away from those who illegally possess them, update aging computer systems used to track gun ownership, and provide training on how to use the statewide database of gun purchases.

Jackson Introduces Bills to Help Prevent Gun Violence Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown to Co-Host Housing Resource Fair

SAN BERNARDINO Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino), a member of the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development, will co-host a free Housing Resource Fair in partnership with the Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire (NHSIE), the County of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino on Saturday, June 28, on the corner of E and Court Street in San Bernardino from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

During the event, financial counselors will be available to assist homebuyers with credit concerns and guide them through a

Assemblyman Cheryl R. Brown pre-approved home loan process. The event will also feature information on down payment assistance, loan modifications and home improvement courses.

“According to recent

news reports, California is among the nation’s states with the highest foreclosure rate, which is unacceptable,” said Assemblymember Brown. “In 2010, our Legislature approved Keep Your Home California, which is a state funded program that has allowed more than 41,000 Californians to stay in their homes. Keep Your Home California has plans geared for homeowners who have experienced a job loss or reduction in pay.

Through this event, our goal is to work to ensure that our residents are aware of the myriad of homeowner assistance programs that are available to them.

When checking in on a person who may be a danger to themselves or others, often referred to as a “welfare check,” Senate Bill 505 would require law enforcement to first conduct a search of the Department of Justice’s Automated Firearms System, California’s database of gun purchases, to find out whether the person in question may have purchased firearms, and how many.

National News 1.2 Million New Yorkers Could Five Teens, One Man Face 1,300 Years in Prison Get a Much-Needed Raise

By Christopher Mathias Everyone knows New York City is one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. But did you know its inflation-adjusted minimum wage ranks among the lowest of the major cities too?

The city's problem is that the state government sets its minimum wage, not local government. That means that even though it's 2.4 times more expensive to live in Manhattan than Buf-

falo, the minimum wage is the same in both places, as New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer pointed out in a recent report.

A new bill in Albany could change that. On top of raising the state's minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by 2015, it would allow independent municipalities like New York City to make their own minimum wage up to 30 percent higher than the state mini-

mum wage. That means if the state minimum wage were $10.10 per hour, New York City could have a minimum wage of $13.13 per hour.

That would help a lot of New Yorkers. In fact, according to Stringer's report, a minimum wage of that size would put an extra $100 in the pockets of 1.2 million New Yorkers each week.

“New York City deserves the ability to set its own minimum wage,” Stringer said in a press release. “We are falling behind other states and cities when it comes to the minimum wage, despite the fact that this is the most expensive city in which to live in the nation. There is no one size fits all when it comes to the minimum wage; raising it to $13.13 would make an enormous difference for more than one million New York City residents.”

What This Woman Does on Her Lunch Break will Inspire You

By Joseph Erbentraut For most office workers, lunch hour is a practically sacred time -- the workday's lone opportunity to run a mid-day errand or get away from the desk. But for one Chicago-area woman, lunch hour takes on a much deeper meaning.

Every Thursday, Kasonja Holley heads to a sandwich shop near her workplace and purchases 20 boxed lunches that she distributes to homeless people near her office. Her coworkers coined the project, which began two years ago, "Love in Motion."

Holley's project was featured on WGN host Marcus Leshock's "Mr. Brightside" segment.

"I knew I needed to be doing something," she explained to WGN. "I like to feed people so I figured I might as well start there."

Holley also distributes kits of toiletries -- toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap,

Kasonja Holley toilet paper -- along with the lunches, and some of her coworkers also join her to distribute the goods.

To help fund the project, she works a part-time job as a suite attendant at the United Center on top of her full-time job. She launched a GoFundMe campaign last fall in order to help cover her costs. In the three days since the WGN segment aired, she has raised over $4,800 in donations toward

Woman Sentenced to 85 Days in Jail

Longview, OK — Charity Johnson, the 34-yearold woman that was caught pretending to be a 15-yearold high school student, has been sentenced to just 85 days in jail and ordered to pay a $215 fine. She, however, has already been released because of time already served.

She had already plead guilty to failure to identify herself after she attended New Life Christian School as a student for almost a full school year before administrators found out what her real age was.

During a recent interview with KTRK-TV, she said, “I guess you could say I was looking for love.”

She continued, “I’m just a normal person like any other normal person, trying to pursue her education, get her education and make it through life and be a better person.” She says her family had abandoned her, and that by acting like

a $6,240 goal -- the approximate cost of buying the box lunches for one year.

In a message posted to her GoFundMe page, Holley wrote that her faith helped inspire the project in the first place. On the page, she quotes a verse from the Bible -- "Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." (Romans 12:13) -- in explaining her mission.

"I don't look for any reward," she told WGN. "I just do it because it's a good thing to do. That's it."

Texas Board Passes Resolution on Reparations Without Even Realizing It

DALLAS — Leaders in a North Texas county passed a resolution this week supporting reparations to African-Americans for slavery — without even realizing they had done so.

Dallas County commissioners unanimously passed a Juneteenth resolution on Tuesday that appeared to be another routine proclamation commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. But the resolution went further by

including a list of injustices, and then stating in the final paragraph that blacks’ suffering should be “satisfied with monetary and substantial reparations.”

Commissioners admitted afterward they hadn’t read the resolution before voting, according to The Dallas Morning News.

About an hour after their vote, commissioners complained they hadn’t received copies of the resolution beforehand.

The meeting agenda made no specific mention of reparations, but the resolution was read aloud by John Wiley Price, who introduced the measure and is the commission’s only black member.

The vote is nonbinding, so no reparations — through payments or other means — will be made.

Price said he wrote the resolution after reading an article making the case for TEXAS, See page 11B

Ninety percent of community association residents rate their overall association experience as positive (64 percent) or neutral (26 percent), with only 10 percent expressing dissatisfaction.

Key findings • 90 percent of residents say association board members serve the best interests of their communities.

• 83 percent say they get along well with the immediate neighbors.

• 83 percent say their community managers provide value and support to residents and their associations.

• 70 percent of residents say their association rules protect and enhance property values; 4 percent say the rules harm property values.

Make Sure Your Family Has a Disaster Plan

By Jason Alderman June 1 marked the beginning of hurricane season. Meanwhile, across much of the Western U.S., major droughts have greatly increased the danger for summer wildfires. And

don't forget last winter's record-breaking winter storms – or the ongoing potential for earthquakes, tornados, floods and other natural disasters.

Such catastrophic events are inevitable, largely un-

Jason Alderman preventable and often strike without warning. Even though we can't always predict natural disasters, we can anticipate their likely aftermaths, including property loss, power or water service disruption and scarcity of food and supplies.

Sit down with your family and develop a disaster plan. By planning ahead and knowing what you might need under dire circumstances, you can save yourselves a lot of time, money and grief.

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (www.fema.gov), offers great suggestions for developing a family emergency plan, building an emergency supply kit, and learning what to do before, during and after emergencies (everything from home fires to terrorist attacks).

They even provide an emergency plan for family pets.

Here are some emergency-planning ideas you may not have considered: • Pick meeting spots both in and outside your neighborhood where your family can gather after an emergency.

• Choose one person (possibly out-of-town) everyone can contact for updates.

Part II of II The primary goal of ‘The Black Dollar Project’ is to assist in creating meaningful and beneficial economic empowerment in the African American community that leads to exceptional growth and sustainability. Because many African American businesses have no dedicated advertising and marketing budgets, ‘The Black Dollar Project’ allows Black businesses participating in this branded network to do so at an incredibly reasonable amount.

Black businesses participating in this initiative can join in the network at the cost of only $1 per week ($52 per year) and will have a business listing for one full calendar year.

Being a part of this branded network gives Black businesses the ability to advertise and selectively target Black consumers in the same way major Fortune 500 companies and other businesses do.

‘The Black Dollar Project’ has created a marketing component that allows

Black business owners to become a part of a branded network that advertises on their behalf via (print, T.V., radio, Internet, email marketing, social media, networking events, educational forums, etc.), and gives them increased exposure and an opportunity to reach consumers, primarily African American consumers, on a far greater scale.

The general marketing premise for the initiative is to drive consumers to patronize and support Black businesses, by creating ads

that focus on the importance of supporting Black businesses, and through educating consumers about the impact of circulating the Black dollar within the African American community.

Every business member receives ‘The Black Dollar Project’ decal that will be displayed at their place of business to identify them as a member and supporter.

By Kerry Hannon While it's flattering to get a call from a recruiter, it can be a complicated relationship.

A good rapport can be a win for both of you.

You get the inside track on great jobs — ones that may never have hit your radar.

If you get the gig, the recruiter earns a fee — paid by the employer — for playing matchmaker.

Yet this seemingly symbiotic relationship can be confusing for a job seeker, especially if you've never worked with one before and are not sure what the recruiter's role is in getting you hired.

Here are five myths about recruiters that you should know about in case you get a call from one.

1. Recruiters find you from industry colleagues who sing your praises While that's possible, it's not so much the norm anymore. Recruiters increasingly are using the Web to seek out experienced candidates. That's why you must have a digital profile with an active social media presence on sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twit-

ter. You might also have your own personal website to highlight your work and write a blog.

Recruiters also search job boards such as Monster, CareerBuilder and Indeed.

Still others look at Instagram and Pinterest, where folks with visually oriented jobs (such as graphic design) are posting résumés.

2. Recruiters find you, not vice versa If you want to work with a recruiter as part of your job-hunting strategy, go for it. You can track them down by using the methods they employ to find their candidates: via networking, referrals from colleagues

and social media.

Look for a recruiter who has expertise in the industry in which you're interested.

It's best to choose one or two recruiters that specialize in your field and build a relationship with them.

3. The recruiter works for you The voice on the other end of the phone is super friendly. Your calls are returned in a nanosecond.

The recruiter assures you that you're perfect for the job, and naturally, you get your hopes up.

Be forewarned: Despite the pursuit, chances are that you're not the only candidate RECRUITERS, See page 11B

Woman, 91, Makes Marathon History

By Barbranda Lumpkins Walls Her name is Harriette Thompson. But you can call her Wonder Woman.

Thompson, 91, of Charlotte, N.C., made history June 1 when she crossed the finish line of the Rock ’n’ Roll San Diego Marathon. She ran the fastest marathon ever by a woman 90 or older (7 hours, 7 minutes and 42 seconds) and became the secondoldest marathon finisher in U.S. history.

Impressive, huh? But Thompson says she wasn’t even in her best shape. The two-time cancer survivor had completed her last radiation treatment on her legs for squamous cell carcinoma just a month before the race. Recovery time cut back on her training.

“It wasn’t until around the 17th mile that I was going uphill and I was thinking, ‘Oh, I wonder if I’m gonna make this,’ ” Thompson told the Charlotte Observer. “But the last few miles I didn’t mind at all.”

The mother of five and grandmother of 10 didn’t start running until age 76, when she wanted to help raise money for leukemia and lymphoma research. The

Harriette Thompson race was her 15th marathon.

Others falsely claim the free device offer is being made on behalf of AARP. In recent days, reports of both scenarios have flooded the Fraud Watch

But don’t do either.

Pressing 1 gets you to a live operator, who does a hardsell with more scare tactics to weasel your financial and personal information.

Pressing 5 tells these crooks you have a working phone number that’s ripe for future nuisance calls. What should you do?

Creditors Can Snatch Your (Inherited) IRA, Supreme Court Rules

By Eileen Ambrose A U.S. Supreme Court ruling has just made estate planning a lot more cumbersome for some high-networth parents who want to leave tax-free money in a Roth IRA to a child.

Retirement accounts are protected from creditors in bankruptcy cases so people don’t wind up destitute in old age. However, the court unanimously ruled that this is not the case for those who inherit IRAs. The court decision involves a case of a woman who inherited about $450,000 in an IRA from her mother in 2001 and started taking distributions from the account. In 2010 the woman and her husband filed for bankruptcy and sought to keep the remaining $300,000 out of the hands of creditors, arguing the IRA money was protected “retirement funds.” The bankruptcy court disagreed, and subsequent court decisions went back and forth.

Supreme Court justices

said there were three reasons why inherited IRAs are not retirement funds, which are “properly understood to mean sums of money set aside for the day an individual stops working.”

Unlike the original owner of the IRA, heirs can’t add money to the account, the court said.

Heirs also can take out all the money at once — at any time and for any reason — without paying a 10 percent penalty for withdrawals before age 59 1/2, the court said. If heirs were allowed to exempt this money from creditors, for instance, they could use the entire balance to buy a vacation home or sports car once they exited bankruptcy, the justices explained.

And heirs are required to start taking distributions in the year after the death – no matter how many years they are from retirement.

“A 2-year-old would have to take a distribution at age 3. That’s not retirement,” says Ed Slott, a cer-

tified public account and IRA expert.

The court’s decision doesn’t affect IRAs inherited by spouses, who can always roll over the account to their own IRA, Slott says.

Parents worried that their IRA might someday end up in the hands of their heirs’ creditors have a few options.

Several states specifically protect inherited IRAs from creditors, and families should find out if their state is one of them, Slott advises. In fact, the Supreme Court ruling may prompt more states to shelter inherited IRAs, he says.

Otherwise, children will need to be forewarned that if they file for bankruptcy in the future, their creditors can go after an inherited IRA, he says.

Parents can also protect an IRA from creditors by setting up a trust and naming it as the IRA beneficiary, instead of the child, Slott says. But he cautions: “It’s involved. It’s costly.”

Cancer Screenings:

Is Your Doctor Telling You the Benefits AND Risks?

By Valerie DeBenedette A national survey of patients reveals that physicians don’t always fully discuss the risks and benefits of cancer screening, reports a new study in American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

The study examined data from more than 1100 people aged 50 and older who made decisions about whether to undergo screening for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or prostate cancer in the previous 2 years. Participants were asked whether their physicians discussed the pros and cons of screening and of forgoing screening, and if they had been given a choice whether or not to be screened.

Shared decision making was reported by only 27 percent of women for breast cancer screening, 38 percent of both women and men for colorectal screening, and 34 percent for men for prostate screening. Survey participants reported that physicians were more likely to discuss the pros of a given screening procedure (51 percent to 67 percent, depending on the type of screening) than the cons (7 percent to 14 percent). Furthermore, most physicians offered opinions that primarily favored screening.

Physicians were also reported to be more likely to ask men (71 percent for colorectal cancer and 70 percent for prostate can-

cer) whether they wanted testing than they were to ask women (43 percent for breast cancer and 57 percent for colorectal cancer).

Ideally, in shared decision making, a physician informs a patient that a decision is needed, invites them to weigh in on the decision, and provides him or her with information about the risks and benefits of both testing/treatment or doing nothing. Ideally, the physician also helps the patient make a decision that considers the patient’s values and preferences about their health and health care.

Overall, 77 percent of patients decided to participate in the three cancer screenings studied, ranging from 69 percent of women for colorectal cancer to 93 percent of men for prostate cancer. The majority said they were confident about their decision; however, those who reported their physicians were primarily responsible for the

decision were less confident than those making a shared decision.

The authors also compared shared decision making discussions with women in their 40s versus women over 50 because of recent controversy over the appropriateness of breast cancer screening for younger women and were surprised by the result.

“We were expecting that decision making quality would be better for younger women and it wasn’t,” said Richard M.

Being an early riser doesn't mean you have to be tired all day.

(NewsUSA) - When it comes to starting the day early, finding energy fast is vital.

Whether you're up early for work, hitting the gym, getting your kids ready for school or just dealing with a pesky internal clock, it's important to make the most of your mornings.

Try these tips for finding your inner early bird: • Don't snooze. "When you hit the snooze button repeatedly, you're fragmenting what little extra sleep you're getting, so it is of poor quality," says Robert S. Rosenberg, medical director of the Sleep Disorders Centers of Prescott Valley and Flagstaff, Arizona. Instead, try moving your alarm farther from your bed, so you have to stand up to turn it off.

• Have a quick and hearty breakfast ready to go. Studies consistently show the benefits of breakfast for promoting productivity during the day.

However, according to a January 2014 study conducted by global polling firm, Penn Schoen Berland, although nearly 85 percent of Americans believe

You'll Be Able to Text Your Friend The Best Clue Yet That An ‘iWatch’ is Coming This Year a Smell in a Few Days

Harvard engineering professor David Edwards has invented a device called an oPhone that sends and receives photos and scents. You can mix-and-match 32 basic scents to create more than 300,000 unique aromas, according to the oPhone website. You will then be able to send these smells to your lucky friends and loved ones in what will be called oNotes, using an app called oSnap. Again... this is all real.

Amazon is trying to give us all the reasons it can to buy Amazon Prime.

The giant online re-

tailer recently launched its much-anticipated streaming music service for Amazon Prime customers,

Amazon Now Has a Streaming Music Player

called Prime Music.

Prime Music is the latest perk offered to customers enrolled in Amazon’s membership program, which already includes a streaming video service and free two-day shipping on many items on Amazon. For customers, the addition of streaming music may help justify the recent Amazon Prime price hike to $99 from $79.

The company boasted that Prime Music can stream over 1 million songs, all without ads.

There’s no additional cost for Amazon Prime members.

It may take a while for Amazon to convince Prime members to give up their iTunes or Pandora habits. Nineteen percent of Prime members have never used its existing video streaming service, which has been around since 2011.

Also, 1 million songs may sound like a lot, but Spotify has 20 million songs. Prime Music will not have any music from Universal Music Group, which is the world’s biggest music label.

You won’t be able to hear any hot new hits on Prime Music. It won’t have any new songs or albums until they are at least 6 months old, Buzzfeed reported.

You can also store your music in the player. Any music you buy through Amazon is automatically there, and you can add 250 more songs free of charge.

Long story short: Don’t give up your Spotify account.

By Dino Grandoni It’s becoming more and more clear that after an incredible amount of anticipation (to which articles like this contribute), Apple’s long-rumored “iWatch” could actually be released in time for Christmas this year.

Over the weekend, The New York Times published a sprawling Sunday edition profile of Apple CEO Tim Cook, who took the helm of Apple three years ago after the death of founder Steve Jobs. We’d recommend reading the entire article, but those interested in the supposed “iWatch” will be particularly excited about this paragraph, in which the newspaper confirms with “people involved in the project” that a computerized wristwatch will be announced by the end of 2014: Mr. Cook appears to be interested in the smartwatch’s broader implications — for instance, that

Apple CEO Tim Cook a watch might monitor heart rate and other vital measures, thus improving health and limiting doctor visits, according to these people. The watch is expected to be released in the fourth quarter, these people said. [Emphasis added.]

If that’s the case, we can all look out for the iWatch to be the hot holiday gift item this year. However, the report should be taken

with a caveat. At any point, Apple can push back the release date of a product it’s developing -- or even cancel a release altogether.

That said, Apple’s apparent strategy so far this year has been to roll out the carpet for a computer on your wrist. During its annual developers conference two weeks ago, Apple trumpeted a new operating system for iPhones and iPads that will include a program called HealthKit, which brings together data from heart rate, blood pressure and other health monitors in one place.

And it would be strange for a company like Apple, which believes hardware and software need to be inexorably meshed, to say it’s making software that tracks heart beats and cholesterol levels without making its own accompanying device to record that data. Unless, of course, one is coming very soon.

After focusing on the west coast in 2014, the charging stations will come to bigger cities across the U.S. in 2015, Powermat President Daniel Schreiber told The Verge. Each store should have at least 10 Powermats, he said.

Starbucks previously did a test run of the Powermats in Massachusetts.

The company may be a bit ahead of the curve with the charging stations. Certain smartphones are built to be compatible with the Powermats, including the Asus and Kyocera Hydra Vibe.

But if you don’t have one of these phones (looking at you, Apple fanboy), you’ll need a charging accessory.

Duracell is selling compatible cases for iPhones for $29.99. There are also small “ring” accessories you can plug into iPhones to get the wireless charge, but they’re not available to purchase

yet, Schreiber told The Huffington Post.

But they will be available for purchase in “another week or two,” Schreiber told The Huffington Post.

The Powermat rings will cost $9.99 for a ring with a mini-USB and $12.99 for an iPhone compatible one.

The coffee chain could also be banking on Apple adopting the charging ca-

pability soon. CNET noted that Starbucks’ adoption of Wi-Fi over a decade ago helped bring that technology into the mainstream.

But if you’re planning on frequently refueling on both caffeine and battery power at Starbucks, take note: According to Gizmodo, too much wireless charging can damage your battery. For a quick buzz, however, it’s a great option.

By Alina Selyukh and Marina Lopes WASHINGTON - A surge in mobile Internet usage has U.S. regulators considering whether to apply the same rules to fixed and wireless Internet traffic, and large technology firms are siding with consumer advocates to call for such a change.

The Federal Communications Commission is now rewriting the so-called “net neutrality” rules, aimed at ensuring that Internet providers do not unfairly block or slow down users’ access to content on the web, after their 2010 version was rejected in January by an appeals court. As part of that process, the agency is seeking comments on whether it should take a fresh look at distinctions now drawn between wireless and wireline networks.

Consumer groups have long advocated stricter antiblocking and anti-discrimination rules for mobile web

traffic. This year, they have powerful allies in Internet companies like Google and Facebook, who see mobile as an increasingly popular platform.

“The distinction between wireless and wireline is certainly not the same as it was... The enforceable net neutrality rules should apply equally, whether you use the Internet on your mobile or home broadband,” said Michael Beckerman, head of the Internet Association,

which represents three dozen web companies including Amazon.com and Netflix.

“There will be differences in terms of network management, but at the end of the day, the same fundamental principles ... need to apply to the mobile world.”

Both sides plan to lobby the FCC as the agency collects public comments on its proposed rules until Sept.

10. Scrutiny on the wireless space promises to be more intense than before.

Commentary New York City:

Marc H. Morial

progressive mayors across the country – including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio – have identified the need to close that gap.

A key part of the solution is increasing the number and worth of government contracts available to minority and women-owned business enterprises (M/WBE).

As Mayor de Blasio is learning, while not an easy task, he has a substantial opportunity to fix a big problem and put forth a scalable model for how New York City can and should engage with M/WBE. Mayor de Blasio took office in January determined to “leave no New Yorker behind.” But a recent article by freelance journalist John Surico concludes that “the contracts between the city’s bureaucracy and its businesses do not reflect a commitment to diversity.”

Surico adds, “For thousands of companies in New York City, obtaining a city contract is one of the most important financial benefits of civil government. Last year alone, roughly 40,500 transactions between the public and private sectors translated into this $16.5 billion in revenue for vendors.”

While M/WBE firms comprised 7 percent of New York City’s vendors and were awarded 23 per-

Julianne Malveaux

cent of the city’s sub-andprime contracts in 2013, they only received $439 million, or 2.7 percent, of total contract dollars.

Despite the existence of the federal Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) and dedicated minority business development offices in New York and most major cities, this disparity is echoed throughout the country. Reasons for this include cumbersome and complicated contracting rules and the often prohibitively high cost of navigating the procurement process. Unfortunately, too many minority and womenowned businesses also still find it difficult to secure critical bank loans. Everyone agrees that small and minority-owned businesses are essential to America’s economic recovery, but not everyone has stepped up to give them the support they need to succeed.

That is why the National Urban League has made entrepreneurship support, tax credits and small business financing a key part of “Jobs Rebuild America,” NEW YORK, See page 11B

Beyond the Rhetoric:

When the Koch Foundation gave the United Negro College Fund $25 million, it set off a maelstrom of comments in cyberspace and real time. How dare the UNCF take money from the Koch brothers, some asked. They ought to send it back, said others.

One woman told me she would never give to UNCF again because of the Koch donation. Another says the Koch donation changes her perception of UNCF. The donation will provide $18.5 million in scholarships, money that is badly needed to get some of our young people out of school, especially with the cuts so many experienced because of reduced access to the Parent Plus loan. Another $4 million will go to the 37 UNCF schools for general support, again to make up some of the losses that came from reduced enrollment due to Parent Plus. The remainder goes to UNCF for their general support.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Koch scholarships will be awarded to students with good grades, financial needs, and an interest in studying how “entrepreneurship, economics and innovation contribute to well-being for individuals, communities, and society.”

government-owned cooperatives are being privatized. With a new foreign investment law on the books and with a worldclass port at Mariel nearing completion, the government is cautiously putting the welcome mat out for foreign investment….

“The U.S. stance towards Cuba is changing as well. While the U.S. embargo (which the Chamber has long opposed) remains in place, the Obama administration has loosened some of the restrictions in order to allow products such as food and medicine to be exported. Educational and other people-to-people exchanges are allowed, regularly scheduled chartered flights leave the United States packed with passengers, and Cuban-Americans are permitted to visit and remit funds to their Cuban relatives. Over 300,000 Cuban-Americans now visit the island annually and their remittances total at least $2 billion per year.”

We are so excited about visiting the nation during November 18 -23, 2014.

The first time we went we had 34 persons. I predict we will have twice that much despite the fact that Cuba is not nearly as inexpensive as it was in 2000. $80 per night 5star hotels are now about $300. But

Sounds like conservative free markets to me. More than that, it sounds like granting scholarships to further the Koch government-reducing, free market focus. Koch protects its interest by having two seats on the five member scholarship committee, with the other three from the UNCF. While non-Koch interests are the majority, it will be interesting to see if a donor can sway a committee.

What else? The Koch brothers are making the most of this gift in the media. Rarely have I seen so many headlines generated by a gift of that size. $100 million, maybe. $250 million, surely. But while $25 million will mean a lot to the UNCF, schools such as Harvard would likely consider it nothing more than a modest behest. The Koch brothers must think they’ll get some positive publicity from their gift, and they obviously have the PR team to pitch it.

Furthermore, these are the very Koch brothers who have supported voter suppression efforts. They would reduce the size of government, which means the Pell grants that so many students depend on would shrink in size. What one hand gives, in other words, the other takes away. If the

Koch brothers would fight to maintain or increase the size of the Pell grant, fewer would look askance at their gift. Instead, many see this as the cynical manipulation of a deep-pockets donor who gets much publicity from their gift.

It kind of reminds me of the Donald Sterling gift to the Los Angeles branch of the NAACP. After Sterling’s racist rant, his donation was returned. Still, the NAACP was in the process of giving him a second lifetime achievement award prior to his verbal rampage. Indeed the 2014 outrage against Sterling had elements of class bias. The multi-million dollar players weren’t angry when he discriminated against African Americans and Latinos in the slum housing he owned – which cost him a couple of million dollars to settle with the Justice Department – but they were dismayed when he made negative comments about them. Their earlier silence equaled acquiescence to Sterling’s racism; their protest suggested that they UNCF, See page 11B

Return of the Unjust Greedy Weasels

Why We are Going Back to Cuba

We first visited Cuba in 2000. There was so much to see that we visited twice that year (August and November). The nation showed so much promise with its healthcare system, education standards, natural resources and a population that is significantly Black. Dr. Arthur A. Fletcher (deceased) told me that “One day this nation will be the Hong Kong of the Caribbean”. From what we see and hear that time is approaching at a consistent and fast pace.

Tom Donohue, President of the US Chamber, is feeling the same way. The following is part of his monthly report to the Board of Directors (I have been a member for 14 years): “Last week, I had the opportunity to lead a small U.S. Chamber delegation to Havana, Cuba.

It was my first visit in 15 years. Back then, speaking to students at the University of Havana, I said it was time to begin a new chapter in U.S. – Cuba relations but that changes would be required in both countries to make that happen.

“That new chapter has begun. Cuba is gradually changing its economic model and a small but growing private sector is taking root. Small, privately owned businesses are springing up. Some

“In Fiscal Year 2013, the City procured $16.5 billion worth of goods and services and only $439 million went to Minority and Womenowned business enterprises – a mere 2.7 percent. That’s simply unacceptable.”Michael Nitzky, director of communications for New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer Most discussions of economic inequality focus on the need for more equity in employment and income. There is no doubt that expanding job opportunities and providing living wages for workers in communities of color are essential to closing the great divide between the vastly affluent and the rest of us. But even more troubling is the huge wealth gap, invariably linked to glaring disparities in homeownership and entrepreneurship that continue to break down along color and gender lines.

that is indicative of the exponential growth in the demand. Dr. Fletcher’s prediction is taking form.

I have shared with you the view of an American business leader. In fact, Tom Donohue is the president of the largest business association in the world. Seldom, if ever do we hear from a person born and presently living in Cuba. Alberto Gonzalez Rivero has just written a book entitled “Born to Translate Cuba”. He currently works at the Martin Luther King Center in Havana. He has just published a book about his life growing up in Cuba. Amazon Books is selling the book and here is their review: “In this lively memoir, told with engaging wit and emotion, Alberto Gonzalez Rivero provides an intimate look at Cuba following the Revolution under Fidel Castro—a perspective few North Americans ever encounter.

"By integrating history into his personal narrative, Alberto provides an honest look into the culture and society of Cuba today.

This column is not about the recent story making headlines in New York City on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s proposal to lift a ban on pet ferrets. But it is about weasels. Ageold weasels still causing Americans pain and suffering and blocking progress towards a better, safer America for all.

Sojourner Truth was a brilliant but illiterate slave woman, a great orator, and a powerful presence who possessed great courage.

She challenged the racial and gender caste system of slavery by suing for the return of a son sold away from her. She got thrown off Washington, D.C. streetcars but kept getting back on until they changed the rules and let her ride. She stood up with fiery eloquence to opponents and threatening crowds who tried to stop her from speaking. When a hostile White man told her that the hall where she was scheduled to appear would be burnt down if she spoke, she replied, “Then I will speak to the ashes.” When taunted while speaking in favor of women’s rights by some White men who asked if she was really a woman, she bared her breasts and allegedly famously retorted, “Ain’t I a woman?,” detailing the back-breaking double burden of slavery’s

work and childbearing she had endured. When heckled by a White man in her audience who said he didn’t care any more about her antislavery talk than for an old flea bite, she snapped back, “Then the Lord willing, I’ll keep you scratching.” And when decrying her exclusion from America’s life and professed freedoms during a religious meeting where another speaker had just praised the Constitution, she told this story: “Children, I talks to God and God talks to me. I goes out and talks to God in de fields and de woods. Dis morning I was walking out, and I got over de fence. I saw de wheat a holding up its head, looking very big.

I goes up and takes holt ob it. You b’lieve it, dere was no wheat dare? I says, God, what is de matter wid dis wheat? and he says to me, ‘Sojourner, dere is a little weasel in it.’ Now I hears talkin’ about de Constitution and de rights of man. I comes up and I takes hold of dis Constitution. It looks mighty big, and I feels for my rights, but der aint any dare. Den I says, God, what ails dis Constitution? He says to me, ‘Sojourner, dere is a little weasel in it.’”

The version captured here in an 1863 edition of the National Anti-Slavery Standard shares a flaw with

many existing accounts of her speeches—they were often written down in the mock Southern dialect that 19th-century readers identified with all slaves, despite the fact that Sojourner Truth was born and raised in rural New York as the slave of a Dutch-speaking family, spoke Dutch as a child, took pride in speaking correct English as an adult, and reportedly sounded like White New York peers.

But the point still comes across very clearly.

Since Sojourner Truth’s day, Black and White and Brown and other excluded and marginalized women— and men—have been trying to ferret out the unjust and greedy weasels still eating away at the core of the Constitution and the promise of equal opportunity in our national life, gain the rights and freedoms they know they have been promised, and build a just America for themselves and their children. The struggle for a fair playing field for all Americans and their children must accelerate and reach a mighty roar today when these core values are so much under attack.

JACKSON From page 1A was her legislative updates when she talked about the bills she had presented. That was the reason why we wanted to bring her in.”

If a direct approach was what the LWV members hoped for, Jackson did not disappoint.

Speaking on a wide range of topics, she integrated the subject of income inequality with her own optimistic plans for proposed legislation.

Addressing some of the causes for the current income gap, Jackson pointed to a large increase in college debt, the inability of workers to afford housing, and most important, the dramatic widening of the income gap between CEOs and workers (290-300 times the pay scale of their workers in 2013). This in addition to the dramatic decrease in executive tax rates (lowered to 15% for the top 1%) and the flattening wage scale for the average worker.

These flat wages mean that Californians must work harder to find suitable housing, pay increased medical costs, and deal with more personal debt.

For people who must cope with these current economic realities, Jackson concluded that “there is something fundamentally wrong with this picture.”

The income gap has also had a political impact, especially in voter interest and confidence.

Jackson believes that income inequality has caused more polarization between the haves and the have nots. “The real problem,” she stated, “is that not only do voters believe their votes don’t count, but their votes don’t matter. Looking at the $227 million that corporations have recently spent lobbying congress, that is the problem.”

What Jackson hopes to encourage at the state level, particularly in terms of jobs and job growth, is an increase in business innovation. On that count, Jackson asserts, being headquartered in California is a distinct advantage. “When you talk to all of the key innovators about why they’re located in California,” she explained, “they’ll tell you that this is where the talent is.”

In terms of her own work at the state level, Jackson called her approach the JEDI approach (jobs and economic development initiative). Calling her current district an “innovation corridor,” she described the Central Coast as a “home of unlimited possibilities.”

Some of her constituents in this district include Amgen, Cal State Channel Islands, Ventura County’s three community colleges, the University of California Santa Barbara, and Elon Musk and his plans to fly rockets at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

She compared the potential synergy in her district to the cooperative effort between high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley.

As a part of her own legislative vision, Jackson has been working on a series of bills which include: 1) a dramatic change in the way the state funds schools, including increased funding for early childhood education; 2) a reorienting of school curriculums to include what is termed “common core” in order to emphasize more critical thinking in education; and 3) more statefunded grants to identify and help people who are out of work to receive training and placement assistance.

Speaking to the state’s history of innovation, Jackson spoke positively about California’s economic future. Describing California as one of the leaders in cutting edge innovation, she joked, “We want to be first. We don’t care if we get it right, but we want to be first. Sometimes we soar. Sometimes we go spat.

But we pick ourselves up and climb the mountain again.”

GORELL From page 1A Medal for leadership in a combat zone.

“We congratulate Commander Gorell and thank him for his continued service both as a military officer and as a state legislator,” said Pete Conaty, who serves as Governmental Advocate for veterans groups.

“Whether it’s in Afghanistan or in Sacramento, it’s important that we have experienced leaders who understand veterans’ issues, military life, and the unique challenges placed upon the families of service members.”

7. They have a calm, collected attitude that things will always get better, because they will make them better. All they ask is—just give them some time and it will be better. And the way they make things better is to prayer. Because to them. God is “Mission Control” just like astronauts know what it means to be dependent. Whether they are preparing for lift-off, orbiting the earth, or floating 200,000 miles away in space, they are constantly in communication with Mission Control on earth, who provides the help they need in every situation.

Just like astronauts, you and I should always be in communication with God, and turn to Him for help in every situation we face in life—in the good times, the bad times and the plain ol’ normal times. And the only way we can do this is through the gift of prayer!

Prayer links you directly with God. It bridges the gap between heaven and earth. God wants you to converse and communicate with Him “without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). And you don’t need to use any special words—you just need to express yourself openly and honestly to Him. There is no location, no situation and no time in life that God is not available for you. He runs a “24/7 operation” and will always listen when you call.

However, I don’t think that sweeping these things under the rug is the answer. I know that some people say that they don’t vote or believe in politics, and that their vote doesn’t count anyway. But that is a big myth. Each and every vote counts.

Find out what different propositions mean and how they will affect your life.

LEADERS From page 3A Burkina Faso, Togo, Mauritania, Nigeria, Cape Verde and Mali.

According to the West Africa Commission on Drugs, “West Africa is no longer just a transit zone for drugs arriving from South America and ending up in Europe but has become a significant zone of consumption and production.

“The glaring absence of treatment facilities for drug users fuels the spread of disease and exposes an entire generation, users and non-users alike, to growing public health risks.”

“Most governments’ reaction to simply criminalize drug use without thinking about prevention or access to treatment has not just led to overcrowded jails, but also worsened health and social problems,” said Kofi Annan, former secretary general of the U.N., who commissioned the study.

The report blamed the widespread criminalization of drug use for bloating the prison population.

Inmates are rarely reformed and in many cases end up more criminalized or sick as a result of their time inside, said the report, entitled “Not Just in Transit – Drugs, the State and Society in West Africa.”

The policy paper is the result of 18 months of research and consultations with the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and several regional and national organizations.

Contributors included Senegalese psychiatrist Idrissa Ba, retired Sierra Leonean judge Justice Bankole-Thompson, Pedro Pires, a former president of Cape Verde.

Governments are urged to avoid a “militarization of drug policy” which, says the report, has been ineffective in Latin America.

“We caution that West Africa must not become a new front line in the failed ‘war on drugs’, which has neither reduced drug consumption nor put traffickers out of business,” the report said.

VIOLENCE From page 3A words “The revolution is beginning,” on the dead officers’ bodies. According to initial media reports, the couple committed double suicide in a nearby Walmart. Police later said they killed Mr. Miller in a gun fight and the wife killed herself.

In Oregon, police reported a teenager killed a fellow student, wounded a teacher and then killed himself at Reynolds High School June 10. On May

23, Elliot Rodger killed six students in a campus rampage at the University of California at Santa Barbara and three people in his apartment.

In Chicago, a 17-year-old was killed and 11 others injured in citywide shootings over Fathers’ Day weekend; three were killed and 20 were wounded in shootings the previous weekend.

Political scientists and grassroots advocates say part of the problem is the overall notion that violence solves everything in America and there is an issue of profit over life.

“When I think about what’s going on with these shootings, I really think about a society that doesn’t take gun violence seriously, and at the very least they don’t value human life over profitability,” said noted author, activist and professor, Dr. Boyce Watkins.

There are just too many guns available in society, and as with the Vegas shooting, the last few have had a serious racial undertone to them, he said. The Millers said they were trying to start a racial war and they could be the spark for similar actions, he added.

“The greater concern I certainly have is sometimes these isolated events inspire and encourage other people to actually act on the aggression they might be feeling,” Dr. Watkins told The Final Call. America’s violence is steering her down a path of chaos, and things will get worse before they get better, he added.

“It’ll probably never get better because we love selling guns too much, and we’re too addicted to hating Black people, and we have a government that is effectively dysfunctional,” said Dr. Watkins.

Black Women for Positive Change, a national policy-focused network, believes America can overcome its violent culture and is working to help bring about peace.

At press time, the organization was scheduled to announce the “National Week of Non-Violence,” scheduled for August 1623. Organizers labeled the event a citizen’s response to ongoing tragedies of school shootings, street and domestic violence and random violent acts by domestic terrorists.

“We’re very concerned that we have to move beyond the violence that our nation was born into,” said Dr. Stephanie Meyers, national co-chair. From the genocide of Native Americans to the enslavement of African people, violence is in the country’s foundation, she said.

But now it’s time for Americans and people everywhere to find new ways to relate to each other, and manage conflicts and disagreements, without resorting to violence, Dr. Meyers continued.

The impact of violence on Blacks has been enormous, particularly from so-called gang fights over turf. It’s caused massive loss of life, but also unacceptable shifts for many families, she said.

Dr. Meyers pointed out the September 2013 shooting rampage by Aaron Alexis, who despite saying he’d been hearing voices and was treated for insomnia, killed 12 people on a Navy shipyard in Washington, D.C. as an example of how the growing mental health crisis in the Black community and lack of treatment and care exacerbates the issue of violence.

Tackling the gun supply is one solution, she said. “In Chicago young men are obtaining weapons from illegal and underground suppliers and these weapons are being used for them to kill each other,” said Dr. Meyers.

The underlying reason for such fratracide is lack of jobs and opportunity for youth.

“If they had opportunities for jobs and for schools, we would certainly not see that same experience,” she added.

The quality and type of education youth receive is the key to community empowerment and violence prevention, said the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam during a crime and education forum at Olive-Harvey College in Chicago.

“The problem starts with education and the problem will end with the proper education,” said Min. Farrakhan at the March 28 event where he was a guest speaker. “It is not enough to have an education, but we must have the right education, the proper education that allows the one who is educated to use his gifts, skills and talents to solve the problems of his or her time,” he told attendees.

Kofi Taharka, chairman of the National Black United Front, said while society talks about peace, it doesn’t put forth alternatives in modern culture or reality.

According to the activist, there’s a push to put 1,500 more police on the streets of Houston and 20,000 crimes went uninvestigated.

“We’re saying we have to have a 180 degree shift in how we’re thinking about crime, violence and what impacts it. Let’s get to the root cause of it,” said Mr. Taharka.

Sociologists point out economics and education are primary factors that contribute to vio-

lence and crime, so the answer isn’t more police. They argue the answers lie in shifting resources to projects and programs run by grassroots organizations that have been effective, like Houston-based Project Forward and the Nation of Islam, he argued.

Project Forward, founded by Deric Muhammad, is an initiative that focuses on empowering the Black community with principles of brotherhood, family, youth mentorship, respect for life, recycling the Black dollar with Black businesses, proper education, solution-oriented activism and fighting for justice.

On Fathers’ Day, Project Fatherhood hosted a “Day of Encouragement for Black Fathers” at MacGregor Park.

“In every city there are people who are doing good, direct work that have proven track records (like) the Nation of Islam.

If you want to decrease crime, why don’t you give the F.O.I. a contract? They could decrease crime, but they don’t really want to decrease crime or violence,” said Mr. Taharka.

Mr. Taharka said the system of violence and the country’s response stems from a system organized and designed based on global White supremacy. “When we fall into negative internal behavior, we’re feeding that system,” he added.

To solve the problem, change the language, said Dennis Muhammad, a long-time student F.O.I captain in the Nation of Islam and founder of ENOTA (Educating Neighborhoods to Obey Those in Authority) Project, Inc..

ENOTA works to improve relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. It also works to empower men to protect their own communities through the Peacekeepers Program.

“It’s different when you begin to use language in a way that builds instead of adding to the negativity of the very word,” he said. “When we start using language that is positive, then we can achieve that peace but we can’t stop violence. Peace is achievable, obtainable and sustainable,” added Dennis Muhammad.

Attorney Opio Sokoni of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Jacksonville said the various layers of violence spans from school yards to jailhouses. “It’s rooted in a culture that says ‘we love violence,’ and it is spread in music and entertainment with no end in sight,” he told The Final Call. Total change on all levels is needed, said Atty. Sokoni.

“It has to be a … change in a culture for a culture to be able to go from being violent, bloodthirsty to more peaceful, more serene, and thinking about alternatives on how to deal with issues,” he added.

GIRLS From page 3A Lt. Andre Dawson, officer-incharge of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Human Trafficking Division, which is responsible for getting pimps off the streets.

Law enforcement advocates like Mary Howard, an officer and president of the Nu Alpha Delta Multicultural Sorority, a nonprofit organization, agreed.

The sorority, comprised of women from various professional, organizational and faith backgrounds, has joined a growing movement of those outraged and ready to fight sex trafficking.

The sorority hosted a daylong “2014 Human Trafficking Intervention Forum” at Good Shepherd Missionary Baptist Church of Los Angeles. A second forum was held at Citizen Missionary Baptist Church in Compton.

The problem is real, Ms. Howard said. “We in the community need to embrace this (fight) and not wait until one of our youth or loved ones is a statistic,” she said.

Johns and Pimps 101 Sharee Sanders Gordon, deputy city attorney and Neighborhood School safety attorney in Los Angeles, said talking with parents and teachers is the best way to deal with how girls are stalked by would-be pimps.

When she first started as neighborhood prosecutor for the 77th Division in South Los Angeles, prostitution along the Figueroa Street corridor was one of the first issues the community brought to her.

She had never thought about how devastating the problem could be for a child and a community.

“I never thought about how students going to school would have to divert themselves so they could go to a safer route, or being propositioned by young ladies on the street who were just confused, or seeing used condoms as they went to school,” Atty. Sanders Gordon said.

As she grew more entrenched in the community and her work, and seeing nothing really being resolved in the courts, she helped to develop a Prostitution Diversion Program targeting repeat offenders. The program aids victims and strives to help improve their lives, she said.

Part of the problem is a lack of resources to deal with pimps, as well as jail overcrowding, the prosecutor explained. Penalties for pimping amount to 30 days

but sometimes pimps get out the same day they’re arrested, she said.

Her program works with service providers that help women who are victims of trafficking and street prostitution exit the life. Her program provides food, clothing, shelter, medical care, individual and group counseling, and job training.

The Prostitution Diversion Program also works to increase education and awareness through John Schools, rehabilitation programs for men from all walks of life who purchase sex. Since 2008 over 1,000 people have gone through the program and only four have reoffended, she noted.

Critics sometimes bash the work with Johns because they’re part of the problem, but the point is to stop the same individuals from helping to destroy the community, Atty. Sanders Gordon explained. Basically, educators spend a day scaring John School attendees, she said. They give facts about sexually transmitted diseases and the impact of arrests, but perhaps the most compelling thing that helps Johns stop is personal testimony from sex trafficked girls.

One middle school on Western Avenue is having a serious problem with prostitution activity, said Atty. Sanders Gordon.

“Young ladies are being grabbed off bus stops and forced into prostitution … and it’s happening in our own back yard. This is not something that’s happening somewhere else. It’s happening right in our own back yard,” she stressed.

“Now you ask why did they come down here? Because Los Angeles is now being known for the place to come when you want to get an underage prostitute from the bus stop. Grab her. And they look for young ladies who no one’s watching,” she said.

“They look for girls who are at bus stops late at night or who are alone and they’re taking them by gunpoint,” she said.Five people in Moreno Valley, Calif., were arrested on suspicions of abducting a teenager from Compton allegedly for prostitution, she noted.

The 18-year-old victim was able to escape, but not before allegedly being raped by two of the suspects. The four men and a female suspect were from the San Francisco Bay Area, according to Atty. Sanders Gordon.

Root causes and symptoms of active sex trafficking Tony Muhammad, Nation of Islam Western Region Student Minister, encouraged advocates and police to go to the root of the pimping problem. The problem is spiritual and mental, he said during his address at the Nu Alpha Delta Multicultural Sorority sponsored forum.

“Don’t just deal with the effects of what’s going on in the poor communities because you’re looking at the fruit that’s coming from a rotten tree,” he said.

“Where did trafficking start?

Pimping didn’t start with the gangs that’s doing it. Pimping started with the slave ship. You can’t just deal with branches,” Mr. Muhammad said.

He was not defending pimps wreaking havoc on the Black community, but reminding listeners that a man engaged in such is not in his natural state.

“How did God want this thing to be? How did the man get out of control? In the Nation of Islam, we believe that no man can rise any higher than his woman, who is the second self of God … We have to line this thing up,” Mr. Muhammad said.

First Pic from Spike Lee’s Which Ladies are Returning for Da Sweet Blood of Jesus The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Spike Lee

By Wilson Morales Spike Lee’s latest film, “Da Sweet Blood of Jesus,” had its World Premiere on Sunday, June 22 at the 18th Annual American Black Film Festival.

Funded through his Kickstarter campaign, the independent romantic horror comedy is described as “Human beings who are addicted to Blood. Funny, Sexy and Bloody. A new kind of love story (and not a remake of “Blacula”).”

In an interview with

Chris Rock Crashes 'Late Night,' Nearly Scares Seth Meyers to Death

Seth Meyers and Chris Rock

By Bill Bradley Chris" ... when he scares "Everybody Hates the hell out of them.

After his appearance on "The Tonight Show," Chris Rock snuck up behind Seth Meyers during his monologue and totally freaked him out.

"You scared (the) death out of me! What are you doing?" said a shellshocked Meyers.

Meyers has received some lukewarm reviews since taking over "Late Night," but those opinions are obviously not shared

by Rock. After crashing the show, the comedian went crashing to the floor, barely being able to contain himself over every word Meyers said.

"Late Night with Seth Meyers" airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. ET on NBC.

Chubby Checker Wants to be Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Now

By John Carucci NEW YORK — Chubby Checker wants the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to know it's time to induct him into their exclusive club before it's too late.

"I don't want to get in there when I'm 85-years old. I'll tell them to drop dead, so you better do it quick while I'm still smiling," Checker said.

Checker's recording of "The Twist," and subsequent, "Let's Twist Again" are considered among the most popular songs in the history of Rock and Roll.

"Let's Twist Again' was the first rock and roll song that received a Grammy (in 1962)," Checker pointed out.

The 72-year old recording artist equates a place in the Cleveland, Ohio-based hall to the ability to sustain his career.

"If you put me in when

Chubby Checker I'm too old to make a living, then it's no good for me to be in there."

He added: "The Rolling Stones, they're in there.

The Beastie Boys are in there, they're young. Hall and Oates were just in there and they're still making money."

He made the comments on the red carpet for the

annual Songwriters Hall of Fame gala in New York where Checker performed "Let's Twist Again" for the ASCAP Centennial celebration.

At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in April, Daryl Hall mentioned that Hall and Oates was the first Philadelphia-based band to be inducted. And after mentioning Chubby Checker, he responded: "Why isn't he in?"

And he's not alone. Before going into the ceremony, legendary songwriter Kenny Gamble — of the songwriting team Gamble and Huff — said he feels Checker is long overdue.

"I think Chubby Checker should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's the only person I know to have the same song go to No. 1 twice."

By Tierney Bricker , Chris Harnick and Beth Sobol All six stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta are set to return for the upcoming seventh season, E! News has exclusively learned.

A source confirms to us that despite the ladies' differences, and rumors that at least one cast member would be out, Porsha Williams, Kenya Moore, Phaedra Parks, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, and NeNe Leakes all will return to the Bravo reality hit.

Season six drew to a dramatic close when Kenya and Porsha got into a heated exchange at the RHOA Reunion, with a source at the time telling us it was "highly doubtful" that both would return to the show.

Now, however, a source tells us that Porsha and Kenya are currently finalizing their contracts, along with their four costars.

By Mark Kennedy NEW YORK — The Broadway musical celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club nightclub in Harlem is dancing into history: It will play its final show June 29.

"After Midnight," a candy sampler of some two dozen musical numbers that showcase dance, jazz or vocals backed by 17 musicians from Jazz at Lincoln Center, won only one of the seven Tony Awards it had been nomi-

nated for and has only been a modest draw at the box office.

A rotating group of stars have led the show, including Fantasia Barrino, k.d. lang, Toni Braxton, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Vanessa Williams. Songs include "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and "Stormy Weather." Dule Hill, known from TV's "Psych," is the emcee.

It will have run 19 previews and 272 regular performances.

Stalker Claims to be Sanaa Lathan’s Husband

Sanaa Lathan

By Derrick Bryson Taylor This stalker put on quite the performance.

A man identified as Shawn Caples, 28, was caught sleeping in the laundry room at Sanaa Lathan’s home by contractors, reports TMZ. Caples claimed to be Lathan’s husband and was sent away, but things escalated when Caples returned later that day and was discovered by Lathan herself.

The 42-year-old “Best Man Holiday” actress screamed “get the f—k out of here.”

Caples refused to leave the premises and Lathan immediately called police.

A couple of days later, Caples reappeared at a terrified Lathan’s house.

The crazed fan was arrested and jailed for stalking. Upon his release, Caples will be ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the star.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of GLEN E ROBERTS A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Betty C. Roberts in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Betty C. Roberts be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 9, 2014 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard, Oxnard, CA 93036.

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

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

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

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

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.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 07/09/14 at 9:00AM in Dept. J6 located at 4353 E. VINEYARD AVENUE, OXNARD, CA 93036 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

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

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

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

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

HENRY CASE NO. 56-201400453890-PR-LA-OXN

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of DOROTHY CAROLYN HENRY. A Petition for Probate has been filed by BONNIE BROWN in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that BONNIE BROWN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: July 10, 2014 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Courthouse.

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

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

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

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

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

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

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 877-484-9942 or visit this Internet Web site www.USA-Foreclosure.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2014-CA006753 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder(s) sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the trustee and successful bidder(s) will have no further recourse.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Pur-

chaser at the sale shall be entitled only to return of the deposit paid. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF NINA MISZANCZUK CASE NO. 56-201400453836-PR-LA-OXN

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of NINA MISZANCZUK. A Petition for Probate has been filed by VENTURA COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that BARRY L. ZIMMERMAN, VENTURA COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: July 10, 2014 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Center.

If you 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.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $184,167.77 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 208 THOREAU CIRCLE, THOUSAND OAKS, CA 91360 Described as follows: As more fully described in said Deed of Trust A.P.N #.: 6770-262-195 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROP-

ERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 1325577. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

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

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil

Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-19016.

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.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MARIA A. QUINTANA. A Petition for Probate has been filed by ALDO QUINTANA in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that ALDO QUINTANA be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF ARTHUR JOHN FROST CASE NO. 56-201400454577-PR-LA-OXN

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ARTHUR JOHN FROST. A Petition for Probate has been filed by DAVID FROST in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that DAVID FROST be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: July 30, 2014 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J-6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Center Probate.

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

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

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

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

GIRLS From page 12A in my honest opinion, I haven’t seen a group that is as good at reforming Black men in particular like the Nation of Islam,” he said. “Malcolm was a pimp, but you love him now. But he was a pimp!

Who changed him and what changed him … all Elijah Muhammad did was line Malcolm’s mind back up with God’s mind.”

The task is to teach Black men acting as pimps and self-haters how they got in their condition and how they lost their names, language, religion and culture, he said. “Get those things back and you will begin to tune yourself up.”

Tattoos or branding?

Many frown at the sight of big, bright or deep, dark tattoos on youth, especially on young females. While some of the tattoos are by choice, others are by force.

According to Atty.

Sanders Gordon, a pimp in San Diego County brands, or tattoos, his girls inside their mouths, as if they were property. Such pimps call themselves “entrepreneurs” poised to make $300,000 per girl, per year tax free, she said.

Pimps love to memorialize their conquests, observed Lt. Dawson. But in tattoo branding their victims, they’re now providing material that can be used as court evidence, he added.

The message from the pimp who branded them is no matter what you say about me, my name is on your face, Lt. Dawson said. Dollar signs are very popular too, he added.Lt. Dawson gave a slide presentation that shocked attendees into silence and prompted ver-

bal outbursts. One photo depicted girls with the acronym C.R.EA.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) tattooed across their cheeks, breasts, thighs and rear of their legs, extending from their buttocks.

The branding is all part of the pimps’ indoctrination process, he continued.

The presentation contained images typically unseen in documentaries on sex trafficking because it’s a tough story to tell.

“In this stage of the game, I’m trying to show the reality of it and the crisis that these people are in.

It’s sad. It’s sad how people are treating each other and what’s more disgusting is what grown men are doing to these children,” Lt. Dawson told The Final Call.

Another slide showed a seated pimp, posing for the camera. Behind him was a young, nude girl face down on a counter in a planking position. Her hands were shackled behind her back. Her head was covered with a white plastic garbage bag.

According to Lt. Dawson, some pimps have a structured entity with a seal and nationwide licensing. A pimp who was recently convicted had his “pimping license” revoked and lost all right to refer to himself as a pimp by the organization, Lt. Dawson continued. The banned pimp was told he’d be fined $500,000 per violation if he went against the ban, according to the police lieutenant.

It sounds ridiculous, but it’s true, he said.

“You do the math.

They’re making money.

The girls are reusable every day. They’re just a product to these guys and it’s easier to sell a young lady than it is with drugs, because with drugs, once it’s gone, you have to go out and buy new drugs.

But when you have a young lady out there, you can use her over and over and over again,” said Atty.

Sanders Gordon.

Many listeners sat fuming in their seats with angry faces, shaking their heads or wiping away tears. The audience was clearly moved as Atty.

Sanders Gordon continued to share the horrors experienced by young victims.

The case that broke her heart involved a then 17-year-old from Orange County, Calif., who decided she would become a prostitute on her own, make some extra money and then leave the streets.

Two pimps eyed her and gave her an ultimatum. “‘You’re working for one of us, so you just pick which one you want to work for,’” the pimps told her, according to the prosecutor.

The teen, frantic to get away, started walking down the middle of the street in morning rush hour traffic, she recalled.

The girl eventually was rescued by police.

The District Attorney rejected the case, fearing she wouldn’t testify and all Atty. Sanders Gordon could do was file a misdemeanor charge.

After a grueling court trial endured by the girl, her mother, father, and younger brother, the pimp was convicted.

“It was just devastating for her but she wanted to make sure that that individual never did that to anyone else,” Atty. Sanders Gordon said.

“We as a community need to take charge of the situation because the court systems are not able to do it on their own. We’re only going to be able to have any kind of lasting effect if we work on this together,” Atty. Sanders Gordon declared.

“Shared decision making is difficult to do,” Wender added. “Tools and guidance about how to do it are not as easily available as they should be.”

From page 11A our $100 million partnership across the public, private and nonprofit sectors to improve outcomes for job seekers, vulnerable youth and entrepreneurs in hard-pressed urban communities. We were also pleased that last year, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation invested $5 million in five Black-owned banks across the country both to support the dwindling number of Black banks and to strengthen the ability of these financial institutions to make loans to neighborhood businesses.

We also applaud measures taken by the Obama administration, including the current effort by the MBDA to bring more minority businesses into high growth industries such as green technology and clean energy.

Mayor de Blasio has pledged to increase New York City’s usage of minority businesses from 3 percent to 10 percent. He shares our understanding of the importance of minority and women-owned businesses to revitalizing struggling urban communities, closing the wealth gap and improving the American economy.

UNCF From page 11A would get angry only when rancid racism was directed at them.

Do basketball players really think that Sterling is the only NBA owner who harbors racist views?

Those owners have enough sense not to articulate them publicly. If they know that other owners share Sterling’s views then they condone closed door racism, not the open door kind. If they are aware, and don’t care or share, they are making deals with the devil.

If the Koch brothers are the devil, then most of our organizations are making deals with the devil. Look at the list of sponsors for any African American organization or event. Sit through a board meeting, and listen to folks review possible sponsors, many corporate.

There are “good” corporations whose diversity portfolio is robust, and then there are those who need a little help. The need for funds notwithstanding, are we for sale for the price of a table or a few salmon (used to be chicken) dinners?

On the other hand, when the New York Times criticized the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation for its corporate support, Elsie Scott, the then-director said that if we spent money on certain products it was only right that we get their support. Does this apply to the Koch donation?

Unfortunately, too many African American organizations buy what we want and beg for what we need. Many in the African American community have $25 million to give to the United Negro College Fund. Many could spend the dollars to support our students.

The fact that we do not leaves us vulnerable to contributions like Koch, contributions that come with strings and, perhaps, a conservative agenda.

Should UNCF President Michael Lomax send the money back? Only if someone steps up to replace it. The $18.5 million for scholarships represents 3,700 scholarships for students. If the $4 million is divided equally among 37 schools, it means $108,000 per school, enough to hire back one of the people laid off and to support some programs. Should Michael Lomax lay down with the devil? Where is the angel?

Website: www.nationalbcc.org Email: halford@ nationalbcc.org WEASELS From page 11A America is still struggling to live up to its creed enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and overcome its huge birth defects built into the implementation of our political and economic system: Native American genocide, slavery, exclusion of all women and nonpropertied men, including White men, from America’s political process. We have come a long way but these deep-seated cultural, racial, economic, and gender impediments to a just union challenge us still. We must remain vigilant in rooting them out and moving ahead as many attempt to move us backwards.

As another July 4th approaches, can we finally tell every child born in 2014 that he or she was created with an equal chance to realize America’s dream—or for tens of millions of children who are poor, illiterate, violence-ridden, hungry, and homeless will America’s promise still feel hollow at the core?

Children have only one childhood, and that childhood determines much of what they grow up to accomplish. This means we adults have only a very short window in which to make sure that all children, regardless of the lottery of birth, are nurtured and fed, physically and spiritually, and are educated and supported to grow up to be the best they can be. If America is to lead in the 21st century world, we must reset our economic and moral compass and do right by our children—all of them. God did not create two classes of children, the American Dream did not envisage two classes of children, and neither should we.

JUNETEENTH From page 14A by the Oxnard High School Band, selections by the Saint Paul Youth Choir, Dove Ministries, dance moves by award winning choreographer Tamarr Paul, and performances by artists Eleve’, Hamp, Phamiliar, and Casper & Ducky.

The festival also featured many community based activities, including a host of vendor booths, free health screenings, a car exhibit, a fashion show by Lowell Pumphrey, an art walk, and a Mess O’ Greens cook-off contest.

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, Union soldiers led by Major General Gordon Granger landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the slaves in Texas were now free.

The Juneteenth Festival is sponsored by the Black American Political Association of California (BAPAC), a nonprofit organization that strives to identify, document, and develop the resources necessary to achieve the educational, economic, and cultural goals of African-Americans in the State of California.

The Pointer Sisters at the Saban Theatre

Saturday, June 28 at 2 p.m. at 1500 Alamo Pintado, in Solvang From his early days as a drummer to his current status as one of the top-drawing guitarists and vocalists on the blues-rock scene, Montoya earned his status through years of hard work and constant touring. It all started with a chance meeting in the mid-1970s with legendary bluesman Albert Collins, who offered Montoya a gig as his drummer. Albert took an immediate liking to Montoya, becoming his mentor and teaching his new protégé the secrets of Collins’ “icy hot” style of blues guitar. Five years later, British blues icon John Mayall happened to catch Montoya at a jam session and was blown away.

Mayall recruited him as his guitarist in the legendary Bluesbreakers, and Montoya spent the next 10 years touring non-stop, proving himself to be a world-class guitar master in one of the most renowned blues bands in existence. The rest is History! For more information, call (805) 688-3032.

The Grove, 189 The Grove Dr, in Los Angeles

The Sound Effect band prides themselves in their trueness to live music. All instruments are played live and they never use pre-recorded background tracks at any live performances. This gives them the ability to change the feel of songs as they feel the need to which in turn keeps them fresh and energetic on stage. The fact that the core 4 members of the group have been together for over 11 years makes this possible. Having performed together for so many years also gives them the tightness that distinguishes them from any other group. Besides their unmistakeable talent, they enjoy themselves on stage so much that the feeling is contagious. Their fans become more like family and the vibe they give off becomes their own.
