Voices and View Points Teamwork makes the dream work but how do you pick your dream team.

Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan It’s very important to have a team of people you can lean on that’s inside your ministry / business or organization, or your family.

• That group is your core team and every leader, minister, manger needs one.

• Without a core team you can feel isolated, overwhelmed, frustrated and even burned out. Your imagination and ideas will grow stale and you’ll find yourself doing the same things and making the same mistakes over and over again.

• A core team will not only strengthen your ministry, or business but you as a leader and as a person. So, how do you build one?

STEP 1: KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR Every core team should be made up of dreamers and doers. People who will help you get the job done and think beyond your limitations. Think about where

you are on the spectrum of doing and dreaming. Find people who will help you find balance and at the same time push you to go beyond your comfort zone. Start developing an idea of the personalities, skill sets and gifts you want your core to team to have. Whatever you do make sure you aren’t just looking for groupies who will pat your back and tell you, “You are the best in the world.” Yes they need to be affirming they are there to help you grow, you also need honest enough to let you know when the” King’s or Queen is naked”.

STEP 2: ASK FOR REFERRALS Usually the best place to find your core team is within your own ministry team or business that you already have , but let’s say there aren’t any viable candidates.

Ask your coworkers to introduce you to people. In other words make sure you are seen. Spend time talking with parents and see if they know of people who have a background in the kind of person you’re looking for to help in your ministry, business, or organization. Not only will you get some new prospects but it will encourage you to reach outside of your comfort zone to build a well rounded team, diverse city is being if you going to

put the right team together.

STEP 3: SHARE WITH EACH TEAM MEMBER THE VISION Your core team should not only be competent but committed to the vision God has given you for your ministry, business or organization..

When you are interviewing possible, and potential candidates for your core team make sure they are enthusiastic and excited by the vision. Something should leap in them if they are going to really be a part of your team sort of like Elizabeth when she was pregnant with John the Baptist and heard that Mary was carrying Jesus John the Baptist leaped inside of her this was a confirmation of her buy-in to Mary’s pregnancy and vision.

Be sure to help everyone get a clear vision of what you’re saying so you must articulated very plainly and very clear it would be good also write it down so they can see it.

STEP 4: GIVE THEM NECESSARY TOOLS TO DO THE JOB Treat your core team like you would yourself. That means investing in them by sharing with them podcasts, books and articles that you read. Take them to workshops and conferences. Make sure you are showing them what you know as if they were the person replacing you. When TEAM, See page 12A

A Dose of Vitamin Earth The Mind Matters

By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC Earth Day is the largest civic event in the world, celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. If we don’t take care of the planet, she cannot take care of us. And we are all in this together!

We live in a very modern, technical society. We have come to believe that we are somehow different than our primitive ancestors…more advanced…more civilized.

We have a different relationship with the natural world.

We are disconnected from the source of our food. We spend most of our time indoors, cut off from the benefits of sunlight on our bodies and the earth beneath our feet. Do you realize that in the past 20 years, childhood has moved inside? The average American kid spends

Jesse Jackson

By Jesse Jackson Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel sincerely wants to do something to improve Chicago schools. I have no doubt of that. Unfortunately, his proposal — called “Learn. Plan. Succeed.” — falls short of the mark.

His idea is to add a new requirement for high school graduation. Starting in 2020, all students eligible for a high school diploma would, in order to graduate, have to demonstrate that they have a job, admission to college, an apprenticeship or internship, a place in a gap-year program or an enlistment in the military. Emanuel touts the plan as requiring every graduate to have a plan for their lives before they get their diploma. “If you change expectations,” he says, “it’s not hard for kids to adapt.”

Sounds good, right? But the City Colleges of Chicago, a system of seven community colleges, already guarantees admittance to any high school graduate. So all the high schools will do is get every graduating senior to apply for admission, whether they intend to go or not. That will require a dramatic increase in school counselors, of course, and there’s no budget for that.

(The mayor says he’ll try to raise $1 million from private donors to help.)

Chicago has the worst black unemployment of any of the five biggest cities in the country. Across the U.S., a staggering 51.3 percent of young black high school graduates are unemployed or underemployed (that is, forced to work part time involuntarily or giving up on finding a job).

A majority of young black high school graduates are looking for full-time work and can’t find it. The mayor’s plan does nothing to address this grim reality.

Instead, it erects a paperwork hoop for kids to jump though that is likely to have very little to do with their plans for their lives.

Why not go a step further down the reform road? Establish the requirement and then guarantee every graduate a job, with the city acting as an employer of last resort. Rather than create another hurdle for graduation, create an incentive to graduate. The problem isn’t that Chicago’s high school graduates don’t want to work.

The problem is that they can’t find work. If the city wants to create a requirement, it should fill the need.

In this way, Emanuel’s plan is a faint echo of his mentor Bill Clinton’s welfare reforms. In 1996, when Clinton’s welfare reform bill was passed, the rhetoric was all about impoverished single mothers going from welfare to work. The plan

was to abolish the welfare guarantee and require that poor mothers go to work after a limited period of time.

Great, everyone is for work over welfare. But in order to hold a job, impoverished single mothers need some way to care for their children, job training, a way to get to their job — and a job to get to. None of that was provided in the welfare reform bill that eventually passed. And the result was, when the recession hit, unforeseen consequences — impoverished mothers and their children took the hit.

Emanuel operates from the theory that poor graduates lack a plan for life after high school. What they lack, however, is a real job or a real training program that would lead to a job.

These kids grow up in impoverished neighborhoods and on mean streets.

Often they come from broken homes, without adequate nutrition, with unstable housing. They attend schools with massive needs and inadequate resources.

If they make it, they graduate into an economy that has little place for them.

If the mayor actually wants to address this challenge — and I believe he does — it will take more than “nudges.” It will take investing in schools, providing intensive counseling, resources for those qualified to go to college but who cannot afford it, affordable transportation and housing, and jobs.

Physical bodies are bioelectric machines; they operate on electrical impulses.

The heart and brain are obvious examples of this. Every movement of your body or thought in your mind is a vibrational frequency and an electrical transmission. Your body is meant to come in contact with the Earth. It is a grounding force. When you are surrounded by electromagnetic waves, Wi-Fi and cell phone signals, positive electrons can build up in your body. Have you heard of free radicals? When we do something as simple as walking or sitting barefoot outside, we have direct contact with the Earth’s surface. This balances us in the form of a negative

Sue Hines

By Sue Hines How do you get to be the best kept secret in town?

Not being able to articulate the real value you provide keeps you looking “vanilla” or worse: invisible!

This is a noisy world, with hundreds of things competing for our attention at any time. How do people know to choose you or what you offer?

The first thing is to stand

up, stand out, and get noticed. Just being loud isn’t enough though. You need to be conspicuous for the right reason.

You can spin it any way you like, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to being of value. When you are offering value, people sit up and take notice.

Our modern jargon sometimes uses “value” as a nice way of saying “cheap”. That is not what I am talking about here. Value really refers to having some kind of worth or usefulness; as holding some kind of benefit.

Here are three secrets to being more valuable: 1. Find out what they need and want.

That seems simple enough, but can be a little tricky if you don’t take the time to ASK. Simply be-

cause you see that people need something doesn’t necessarily mean they see it as a need or that they want it.

For example, you have a garden service and see a sad front lawn as “needing” fertilizer. The homeowner, on the other hand, is well aware that fertilizer and water will do wonders for his lawn, but wants it reseeded with a more drought resistant grass.

Asking is the only way you will really get to know how they see the problem.

Once you know that, you can frame your solution to suit how people see and think about their situation.

2. Speak their language.

Many business owners dig deep in their category. They talk with colleagues, they read trade periodicals, journals and blogs. They know and SECRETS, See page 12A

Thurmond said the Prison Industrial Complex is a "modern form of slavery."

He was motivated to sponsor the legislation after watching Ava Duvernay's documentary "13th."

"We want the state to switch from investing in prisons to investing in schools," said Thurmond, a former social worker who is also running for state superintendent of public instruction.

Thurmond's legislation would raise funds that would go to prison preven-

tion programs and universal preschool. Funds would be deposited in the State Incarceration Prevention Fund.

There have been some policies that have been said to contribute to the rise in prison population. From The War on Drugs to California's "Three Strikes" law policies have all been said to have caused overcrowding situation that led to a Federal judge ordering a decrease in the state's prison population.

State Lawmaker Wants to Tax Companies That Profit from Prisons

By Manny Otiko | California Black Media With the current national focus on law and order, some statewide organizations and lawmakers are working on what they say are solutions that promote investment in young people and reduce California’s privately-owned prison population. Assemblymember Tony Thurmond has sponsored AB 43, a bill that would levy a 10 percent tax on "private prisons and prison-related services."

The bill is aimed at what experts call the Prison Industrial Complex, a process where the correctional system turns inmates and their families into sources of revenue. Inmates and their families have complained about exorbitant fees charged for making calls to and from prison. Also, some privately-owned companies have contracts with states to employ inmates. However, inmates are often paid way below minimum wage, allowing firms to maximize their profits.

Trump told millions of endangered Americans that he would “fix” the toxic water in Flint, Michigan, but spent 314 million dropping one bomb and millions daily in another country. Is that puttingAmerica first?

“Everything Trump does, the decisions he makes, have nothing to do with what is best for America, or putting America first unfortunately.”

“No, that is not putting America first because he is using our tax money to drop these bombs. It appears that it’s our consent or demand, which it’s not.”

“I would say that this is not putting America’s health first. American health should be a priority and this shows his priority is elsewhere.”

“Trump must not be putting Americans first if he’s spending so much more money overseas than he is in his own country.”

“No, we all should not be surprised though. He is too much of a talker and not so much of keeping his word.”

“No, he usually has a personal interest like his golf course in Africa where people were paid almost slave wages. He’s not keeping his promise to us.”

Man arrested for giving THC-laced NBVC opens to the public for chocolate bar to co-worker the Seabee Mud Run

Courtesy of KABC THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Duong Che, a Rosemead man, faced charges on Sunday for allegedly giving a restaurant co-worker a THC-laced chocolate bar that left the woman disoriented, unable to finish her shift.

Ventura County sheriff’s deputies said the 36-year old knowingly gave his co-worker an edible without the victim’s knowledge that it contained THC, also known as tetrahydrocannabinol.

THC causes the euphoric high found in cannabis.

The incident happened on March 12 at a restaurant in the 400 block of Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks.

Deputies were first sent to the restaurant on a call of possible poisoning after

Suspect Duong Che, 36, of Rosemead, is accused of giving a co-worker a chocolate bar laced with THC without her knowledge.

(Ventura County Sheriff's Dept.)

the victim began to experience shortness of breath, confusion and disorientation. As a result, she was unable to continue work-

ing, officials said.

On Wednesday, detectives searched Che’s car and found drugs, as well as a chocolate bar that was the same type given to the victim.

Detectives also say Che possessed 70 ecstasy pills and more than $600 in cash, leading to him being arrested for possession for sales of a controlled substance.

Police executed a search warrant at his Rosemead home and say they found more than $4,300 in cash, saying it was believed to be the proceeds from illegal drug sales.

He was booked at the Ventura County Sheriff’s jail with bail set at $70,000. He posted bail and is scheduled for a court appearance on April 27.

Tax Freedom Day Late Again for California

Sacramento - Californians who have filed their income tax returns by the April 18 deadline will unfortunately have to wait eight days longer than the rest of the nation until they’ve collectively earned enough money to pay off their total tax bill for the year.

Tax Freedom Day, calculated annually by the Tax Foundation, is the day when Americans have earned enough money to pay their taxes at the fed-

eral, state and local levels.

Nationally, Tax Freedom Day lands on April 23, but for California it lands on May 1.

“For some lawmakers, this terrible distinction seems to be a badge of honor,” said Board of Equalization Vice Chair George Runner. “With liberal politicians recently voting to increase gas and car taxes, I fear this day will come even later next year for hardworking taxpayers.”

According to the Tax

Foundation, Americans will pay $3.5 trillion in federal taxes and $1.6 trillion in state and local taxes, for a total tax bill of $5.1 trillion, or 31 percent of national income. That’s more than Americans will collectively spend on food, clothing and housing combined.

Compared to other states, California’s Tax Freedom Day is one of the latest in the nation. Only Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have later dates.

California’s Economic Output Outpaces Nation for Fourth Straight Year

Sacramento – California’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown consistently faster than the nation’s as a whole for four straight years. In 2015, the California GDP rose 5.6 percent, while the U.S. GDP increased 3.7 percent (unadjusted for inflation). Also called “economic output,” GDP measures the market value of goods, services, and structures that are produced within a particular period, and tends to be related to population, income, spending, employment, housing permits, and other measures of economic activity.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the New York-NewarkJersey City metropolitan area led the nation with an economic output of about $1.603 trillion in 2015.

California was represented by two of the top 10 areas: Los Angeles-Long BeachAnaheim ($930.8 billion), and San Francisco-OaklandHayward ($431.7 billion).

Board of Equalization Member Jerome Horton

The Los Angeles metropolitan area accounts for 37.9 percent of California’s GDP, while the San Francisco Bay Area comprises 17.6 percent.

“The greater Los Angeles area once again leads the state in economic output,” said Board of Equalization Member Jerome Horton. “I am proud to represent this region, which is responsible for almost 40 percent of California’s gross domestic product.”

San Jose has been the fastest growing metropolitan area within California – and the second fastest in the U.S. – with stronger economic growth than 380 of the nation’s 382 metropolitan areas in 2015. With growth rates that ranged from 5.0 percent to 10.4 percent over the past five years, the San Jose area had the largest increase in that time frame – 37.6 percent – more than 60 percent higher than the California average gain of 23.1 percent, for a total GDP of more than $235 billion. The Los Angeles area had a strong showing in 2015, finishing above the state average in GDP growth.

One way to compare economic wellbeing among regions is to calculate inflation-adjusted GDP per capita. Real economic output per capita in the San Jose area was close to twice that of the California average in 2015. Other areas with higher than average per capita real GDP include Los Angeles, San Diego, and Napa.

Sacramento, CA – The California State Assembly passed a resolution recognizing the 70th Anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in a major professional sport. Robinson, a Pasadena native, made baseball history when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in April, 1947.

“Jackie Robinson is a true hero who continues to influence our lives 70 years later by his actions and words both on and off the field,” said Assemblymember Chris Holden. “With this resolution the legislature recognizes the bravery he exhibited, and the sacrificial hardship he and his family endured, during a time in our country’s history of racial turmoil and inhuman discrimination.”

Robinson was born January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia and was raised in Pasadena, California. A

stellar athlete, young Robinson excelled not only in baseball but was a lettered athlete in football, track and field. He also played on the varsity squad of each of these sports while attending UCLA. While as a commissioned second lieutenant in the United States Army during World War II, he refused to sit in the back of

an unsegregated military that resulted in his denial of combat duty. Consequently, he was acquitted and received an honorable discharge and later assigned to Camp Breckinridge, Morganfield Kentucky where he worked as an Army athletics coach and was subsequently encouraged to try out for the Kansas City Monarchs, a Negro National League team.

Upon joining the Dodgers in 1947, Robinson led the Dodgers to win 6 pennants and the World Series in 1955. Robinson, after his historic career, became a vocal champion for civil rights and other social and political causes by joining the NAACP and helping establish the African-American Freedom National Bank.

“Jackie Robinson will continue to be an inspiration for generations to come,” said Holden.

“The recent U.S. Census: Supplemental Poverty Measure found California to have the highest poverty rate in the nation and the Democrats’ response is to raise the gas tax by 70%.

Union Pacific Plans to Invest $180 Million in its

California Rail Infrastructure

ROSEVILLE, Calif. – Union Pacific is boosting safety and efficiency with an approximately $180 million infrastructure investment in California this year. Projects funded by Union Pacific benefit California’s overall transportation infrastructure without taxpayer funds.

Union Pacific’s investment plan funds a range of initiatives: $149.6 million to maintain railroad track and $20.7 million to maintain bridges in the state.

Key projects planned this year include: • $12.5 million investment in the rail line between Visalia and Delano to replace 28 miles of rail.

• $7.9 million investment in the rail line north of Winterhaven, California, to replace 18 miles of rail.

• $9.1 million investment in the West Colton Bowl Track project.

“Union Pacific’s targeted investments fund projects that strengthen our railroad tracks, increase safety and minimize de-

lays as trains travel through communities across California,” said Wes Lujan, Union Pacific vice president – Public Affairs, Western Region. “Maintaining a healthy railroad is the foundation of our ability to serve customers and communities across the state.”

This year’s planned $180 million capital expenditure in California is part of an ongoing investment strategy.

From 2012 to 2016, Union Pacific invested more than $976 million strengthening California’s transportation infrastructure.

Union Pacific plans to spend $3.1 billion across its network this year. The company has invested $51 billion since 2000, contributing to a 40 percent decrease in derailments during the same time frame.

One of America’s most recognized companies, Union Pacific Railroad connects 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country by rail, providing a critical link in the global supply chain.

CSUCI schedules Social Business

summer camp for area high school students

Camarillo, Calif. — Discovering your core values, connecting with others, then channeling those values into a social business or personal cause will be at the heart of the inaugural My Name My Story California Institute for Social Business Social Entrepreneurship Summer Camp.

Ventura County high school students interested in learning more about social business are invited to sign up for the camp, which is a team effort between the California Institute for Social Business at CSU Channel Islands (CSUCI) and West Hills-based social enterprise called “My Name My Story” (MNMS).

The camp can accommodate about 30 students and will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from July 31 to Aug. 4.

“While they’re here they’re going to have all kinds of workshops from leading social entrepreneurs,” said California Institute for Social Business Director Andrea Grove, Ph.D. “They will also hear from young social entrepreneurs who have started their own businesses.”

The CISB is partnering with MNMS, which has held similar camps at UCLA in the past.

A social business is defined as a for-profit enterprise that

also addresses a social need.

The chief executive officer of MNMS is Amit Dodani, 19, of West Hills, who turned shame into triumph.

From when he was a child, Dodani struggled with a speech impediment. When he had to speak to a crowd when he was a fifth grader, “I started jittering, and shaking, and then of course you could see some tears running down my eyes,” he said.

Dodani did not give up.

He kept challenging himself to speak in public and even landed a spot on his high school debate team. The awards began to multiply and eventually, his debate team placed fifth in the nation and Dodani received several awards as a top speaker.

To share his story and help others, Dodani found-

ed “My Name My Story,” which is designed to help teens learn about themselves and others, and to develop empathy for those different than themselves.

The week will be filled with activities, workshops and inspirational talks from other young entrepreneurs who have either started or are a part of a social business.

Cost for the week, which includes tuition, meals and a banquet on the last day, is $1,295, but 10 California Institute for Social Business Scholarships are available. The cost with the scholarship is $695 To register, click on http://www.mynamemystory.org/summer-camp. html.

MOSSYROCK, Wash.

– Micheal T. Hurley shares the rib-tickling and remarkable tales of the outstanding Oxnard, California, Police Department in his fiction novel featuring “OFFBEAT: With Oxnard’s Finest” (published by iUniverse). Originally published in July of 2014, this collection is set for a new marketing campaign.

In all professions, humor is often necessary to maintain sanity in the workplace.

Cops everywhere have their stories; the retired police of-

ficers of the Oxnard Police Department are no exception. “OFFBEAT” details their unique tales which seem to grow each time they are retold, until few can offer an iron-clad guarantee that they are told today the way the stories actually unfolded then.

“In another sense, they represent the stories of all police departments everywhere for it is these stories that provide the perspective necessary for sanity in, at times, an insane world,” Hurley says. “Who

wouldn’t wrap their arms around the fun-loving, real-life experiences of these warriors who kept us safe while we slept peacefully at night? Also, the book is interesting and humorous.”

Simply, “OFFBEAT” is the humor behind the badge, while reflecting the true and taxing experiences of officers. Hurley points out, “Police officers are real humans just like the people they protect. The only difference is that they’re willing to stand between the public and the evil that preys on it.”

LeBron James Plans Ohio Public School For At-Risk Kids LeBron James

By Michael McLaughlin Basketball superstar LeBron James plans to open a public school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, for students at risk of falling behind in academics.

The I Promise School will open for elementary students in the fall of 2018 with support from James’ family foundation, according to plans revealed on Tuesday. It plans

Hankins agrees to three-year deal with Colts worth $30 million

Free agent DT Johnathan Hankins has agreed to a four-year deal with the Colts worth $30 million, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hankins, who visited with the Colts, will get $14.5 million guaranteed.

The Giants’ offer to Hankins was for $28 million over four years, according to Paul Schwartz of the NY Post.

The 25-year-old Hankins had reportedly been waiting for a contract similar to the $46.25 million the Giants gave Damon Harrison last year.

Giants co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch both expressed optimism during the recent NFL owners metings that something would get worked out with Hankins, while confrming that a competitive offer for Han-

kins had been on the table.

Jason Pierre-Paul tweeted, hoping for Hankins’ return.

“Hope my boy Hank back before OTA’s because we need that front line to stay together. #90PC,” Pierre-Paul tweeted along with a picture of him and Hankins.

Hankins had 43 tackles, three sacks, and one forced fumble in 16 games for the Giants last season.

He played in 52 games for the Giants during his fouryears with the team, amassing 10 sacks, three forced fumbles, and 140 tackles.

classes for students in third and fourth grades during its first year, and will expand to include grades 1 though 8 by 2022.

The school will draw students who “are at-risk in reading and who are in need of additional academic intervention before falling further behind their peers,” the LeBron James Family Foundation said in a statement.

James, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ star forward, was raised by a single mother. He entered the NBA in 2003 after emerging as a basketball phenom at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron.

James spoke about the school at an event in a historic Akron theater. “Even though I was underprivileged,” he said, he was lucky to grow up with mentors, his mother and close friends.

“They would not let me get off course,” he said. ”A lot of the kids I see today in the community and all over the world are not lucky enough to have the same mentors and the same people around that can help their dreams become reality.”

The I Promise School aims to provide a supportive environment for students who lack guidance, James said.

“We definitely understand how important it is to create an environment where our most challenged and at risk students feel safe, supported an cared for,” said Akron Public Schools Superintendent David James at the event as a wall of adults in “We are family” T-shirts stood on stage.

A formal proposal for the school will be submitted for school board approval in October.

James has previously offered Akron kids educational opportunities. He created 1,100 full-tuition scholarships in 2015 to the University of Akron for teens who completed an “I Promise” program that included goals for attendance and grades.

Maurice Harkless made $500,000

because he simply stopped shooting threes

By Henry Bushnell The Portland Trail Blazers played 13 games between March 14 and April 4, and in all but one of them, Maurice Harkless attempted a 3-pointer. Then, suddenly, during an April 4 game in Utah, Harkless simply stopped. And now we know why: To ensure that he’d pocket $500,000 from a bonus designed, ironically, to reward his shooting.

When Harkless missed a 3-pointer against the Jazz in the Blazers’ fifth-to-last game of the season, his 3-point percentage crept down to 35.05. Another miss would have pushed it below 35, to 34.87. It also would have cost him $500,000. That’s because Harkless’ four-year, $40 million contract includes up to $2 million in incentives, and one of those incentives

Maurice Harkless

would be triggered if Harkless, a career 31.5 percent 3-point shooter, shot 35 percent from beyond the arc over the full season.

So Harkless’ ploy? With one more miss possibly costing him the bonus, he abstained from long-range shots. He didn’t attempt

another three in the Jazz game. Two days later … no threes in a win over Minnesota. Two days later against the Jazz … still no threes.

Harkless then sat out the penultimate game of the season against San Antonio. Prior to Wednesday night’s finale, he was asked if he’d shoot a three if presented an opportunity. His response: “Would you?”

Of course you wouldn’t.

And Harkless didn’t. He made five of his six field goal attempts in a 103-100 loss to the Pelicans, but none of the six attempts came from beyond the arc.

And fortunately for Harkless — and probably for all involved — the fifth-year forward exited the game with just over seven minutes to play and didn’t return. He never had to pass up an open three in crunch time.

Jon Jones: ‘I've Never Cheated'

Former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was scheduled to rematch current titleholder Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 in July 2016, but was removed from the fight and stripped of the interim title after testing positive to banned substances during an out-of-competition test.

Those substances were Clomiphene, an anti-estrogen agent, as well as Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor.

Jones was given a yearlong suspension by USADA and the Nevada State Athletic Commission. He’ll be able to return to the Octagon this July. He maintains that he never cheated.

“I have never cheated in this sport. Every once of my success has been hard work, dedication, focus, and a lot of God’s grace. I’ve never cheated in this sport,” he said during a recent press conference in Buffalo, N.Y. “Had I cheated there would have been a much more strict punishment. I got the minimum because I was proven innocent.”

Innocent may be a bit misleading. Jones did fail an out-of-competition drug test, but didn’t test positive to performance enhancing substances. He claims that the substances were unknowingly ingested when he took a “sex pill.”

“What USADA told me was that I am guilty of not

Jon Jones

going through the proper steps to prevent the whole situation from happening.

That was the only thing that I was guilty of,” said Jones.

“I had that estrogen blocker in my system. There was never any steroids ever found in my system. My testosterone levels have never fluctuated. If someone wants to call me a steroid user, that is 1,000-percent false. Steroids have never been found in my system.

I was guilty of having an estrogen blocker in my system and we found the exact pill that the estrogen blockers came from. USADA themselves tested the pills, and they found that it was a tainted supplement. These are 1,000-percent facts.”

Jones isn’t worried about the accusation of being a cheater following him for the rest of his career. He doesn’t think he cheated.

87-Year-Old Visits African American

Florida Prosecutor Sues Gov. Rick Scott Museum To See Her Slave Cabin Birthplace For Taking Her Off Death Penalty Cases

Isabell Meggett Lucas sees her ‘slave cabin’ birthplace inMuseum of African American History

Isabell Meggett Lucas, center, and her family visit the Museum of African American History.

By Zeba Blay An 87-year-old woman had what was no doubt a powerful experience Monday, when she visited the Smithsonian’s Museum of African American History and Culture to see her childhood home on display for the first time.

Smithsonian officials

invited South Carolina resident Isabell Meggett Lucas and her family to look at the small two-room cabin where she was born, which is now on view in the museum’s “Slavery and Freedom” exhibit, according to NBC News.

The cabin, where Lucas’ family of 11 lived dur-

Officer Appears To Stomp On Handcuffed Suspect’s Head

Video captured a Columbus, Ohio, police officer stomping on a handcuffed suspect’s head.

By Nina Golgowski The suspect was lying handcuffed on the ground, held down by one police officer, when another officer ran up and appeared to stomp on his head. A passerby captured the disturbing scene on video, leading to public outcry even from the mayor.

The incident occurred in Columbus, Ohio. Only two weeks earlier, the white officer with the heavy step had managed to avoid charges related to fatally shooting a black man in 2016, local 10 TV News reported.

Columbus Officer Zachary Rosen was responding to a report of a discharged firearm when video recorded his use of what appears to be unreasonable force on the restrained suspect. The latter man, identified as DeMarco Anderson, is black.

The Columbus police agency distanced itself from the officer’s behavior, which it said in a statement “does not meet the standards [of] the Columbus Division of Police.”

“It appears to be inconsistent with the values and

training we instill in our officers,” the agency said. “The officer self-reported a kick to the suspect while the suspect was in custody. We’ll learn more as the investigation continues and take appropriate actions based on the facts gathered. The officer has been temporarily reassigned.”

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther also condemned the officer’s actions in a post on Twitter, calling his behavior “unacceptable.”

According to court records cited by The Daily Beast, police originally confronted Anderson for allegedly threatening to shoot people inside a nearby home.

He elbowed a different officer in the face and ran.

Police caught up with him a block away. The suspect was allegedly found carrying a handgun and a substance suspected of being crack cocaine. He has since been charged with resisting arrest, obstructing official business, aggravated menacing, possession of controlled substances, and having weapons under disability.

ing her childhood, once stood on a plot on Edisto Island, South Carolina. It was originally owned by Point of Pines Plantation slave owner Charles Bailey, who housed slaves in it from 1853 until 1861.

Lucas, who lived in the cabin from birth to age 19, told The Associated Press that she hadn’t known as a child that it had once been a slave cabin ― it was simply home.

“It’s my home. We all lived there together and we were happy,” Lucas said.

The full-circle nature of Lucas and her family’s visit isn’t lost on the people behind the exhibit. “This is the most beautiful thing that could’ve happened ― the Meggetts coming forward and visiting us and sharing these stories with us,” said Nancy Bercaw, a curator for the museum.

The Smithsonian’s Museum of African American History and Culture opened to the public in September.

By Cristian Farias An elected prosecutor in Florida who has declined to seek the death penalty in a pair of high-profile murder cases is now suing the Florida governor for removing her from those cases and assigning them to a prosecutor from another district.

State Attorney Aramis Ayala, who serves Osceola and Orange counties, filed a federal lawsuit claiming that Gov. Rick Scott (R) violated her constitutional rights when he signed a series of executive orders directing her reassignment from 23 murder cases in which she wouldn’t be pursuing the death penalty.

In one statement condemning Ayala, Scott said her refusal to rely on capital punishment in these prosecutions “sends an unacceptable message that she is not interested in considering every available option in the fight for justice.”

Ayala is the first elected African-American state attorney in Florida history. She was elected to serve a fouryear term in November.

“The Governor did not take this drastic step because of any misconduct on Ayala’s part, but simply because he disagreed with her reasoned prosecutorial determination not to seek the death penalty under current circumstances,” said Ayala’s federal complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for for the Middle District of Florida.

Ayala made waves in March when she concluded that she would not seek a death sentence for Markeith Loyd, who was indicted for

Florida State Attorney Aramis Ayala

the murders of a pregnant 24-year-old and a police officer in separate incidents in December and January.

“What has become abundantly clear through this process is that while I currently do have discretion to pursue death sentences,” Ayala said at the time, “I have determined that doing so is not in the best interest of this community or the best interest of justice.”

That move set off Scott, who signed an executive order that effectively took her off the Loyd prosecution and reassigned the case to Brad King, a state attorney who serves a different judicial circuit covering different counties and voters than those that elected Ayala.

Earlier this month, Scott signed 21 additional executive orders putting King in charge of other capital cases, many of which were already in progress or had defendants that had long ago been sentenced to death — but who

needed to be re-sentenced because the Florida death penalty statute had been found unconstitutional.

King is also named as defendant in Ayala’s complaint, which alleges that this reassignment deprives the voters of Osceola and Orange counties of Ayala’s representation in prosecuting crime.

Ayala’s lawsuit seeks a declaration that Scott violated the Constitution and that she is the rightful elected prosecutor with discretion to manage these capital prosecutions. Ayala also seeks an order reinstating her to oversee these prosecutions.

Among the reasons Ayala has cited for not seeking the death penalty is its racially discriminatory application in Florida, the burden on taxpayers, the likelihood of executing innocent people, and the uncertainty for victims’ families — who often have to wait decades for an execution to take place.

What Does Retirement Look Like If You Haven’t Saved?

By Nathaniel Sillin The picture of retirement that many of us have is a post-work period filled with travel and plenty of relaxation. It's a time when you can finally take up a new hobby, sink into the pile of books and enjoy more time with family and friends.

The reality is that many haven't been able to save enough money to enjoy this idealized retirement.

What might their retirement look like?

You may be working for longer than you expected.

Many people undergo a period of "phased retirement" and either reduce their hours or start a new part-time job after retiring from a full-time schedule. Even those who don't have a financial need may find that they value the activity and connections work brings to their lives.

Without savings, continuing to work might not be a choice, but you can still look for fulfilling opportunities.

Continuing within the same profession part-time or taking on related consult-

ing work could be the most financially rewarding route, if it's an option. Alternatives such as customer service positions with a retailer are popular among some retirees. There are also Internetbased jobs that allow you to work from home.

Social Security could be your sole source of income. Retirees who don't have a pension or savings and stop working may find that Social Security is their only income.

Your Social Security benefit depends on when you were born, how much you've paid into the program, when you start to take benefits and whether or not you're eligible for a government pension.

Once you start receiving benefits, you'll lock in your monthly amount, although it will adjust to account for inflation. Therefore, deciding when to start taking Social Security benefits is important, as it can impact your income for the rest of your life.

Claiming benefits once you reach your full or nor-

mal retirement age, 65 to 67 depending on when you were born, is when you'll receive 100 percent of your monthly Social Security benefit. Taking benefits early can lock in a lower rate, while waiting can increase the monthly benefit.

In 2017, if you're eligible for the maximum benefit and start claiming at 62, you'll receive about $2,153 per month.

If you waited until you were 70 this year, you'll receive about $3,538 per month.

You can use the SSA's Retirement Age Calculator to see how taking Social Security early, or waiting, can affect your benefit.

You might have to downsize and make lifestyle changes. Moving to an area that has a significantly lower cost of living could mean the difference between living with financial RETIREMENT, See page 12A

What Not To Do When Selling Your Home

By Jaymi Naciri Unless you’ve never bought or sold a house before and have never looked at home listings or watched a single show about real estate (which is pretty hard these days), you have some semblance of an idea of how your home should look when you go to sell it. You probably also have a clue about how best to show off that home in photos (or, at least, you know the importance of showing off that home in photos), even if you personally lack the skill to take them yourself.

But what happens when you ignore the rules? Does a hot market render them irrelevant? Is it OK to list a home for top dollar when the condition is more fixer-upper?

The truth is that if you want good money for your home, you have to do a little work to get it “show ready.” Buyers expect to be able to walk in to a clean, decluttered home - at the very least. If it’s not updated, it better at least look like it’s move-in ready.

1. Don’t take your own photos Photos that were not professionally done stick out like, well, photos that weren’t professionally done. If you absolutely insist on taking

your own photos, at least consult some basic rules.

2. Address your kitchen Don’t want to make any upgrades to your kitchen before you get the home on the market? That’ll cost you (literally). Even painting out those cabinets, a cheap and easy fix, would make a huge difference. But, if you’re not going to make changes to improve this key area, at least make the most basic effort to show it in its best light by removing as much clutter as you can. There’s no reason that stuff can’t be put away for photos, and for showings.

Basic staging rule #1.

3. Always keep your selling points in mind People like bedrooms clean and tidy bedrooms that

they can imagine their children sleeping and playing in.

4. Focus!

Maybe check the photo to make sure nothing is blurry before posting it?

Just a suggestion.

5. Emphasize outdoor space It goes without saying that showing off your outdoor space is important.

An unkempt backyard will only make a potential buyer wonder what else needs attention, especially if they’ve seen some questionable spaces indoors.

6. Keep people out of your photos If you only have one photo of the yard or if the best of the bunch has a person in the frame, there’s still one thing you can do: Learn how to use the camera’s crop feature.

For the first time, a federal judge has ruled that provisions in the Fair Housing Act protect against LGBT discrimination. The law states that it is illegal to refuse to rent or sell property to anyone based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin. But questions have been raised as to whether fair housing and other anti-discrimination laws also encompasses sexual orientation and gender identity when they are not explicitly named as protected classes.

U.S. District Judge Raymond P. Moore’s ruling in Denver federal court came in a case involving a married couple, Rachel Smith, a transgender woman, and Tonya Smith. The couple says a landlord in Boulder, Colo., denied them and their

two children a three-bedroom rental townhome in April 2015 because of their sexual orientation. The family had met with the landlord to see the property, but the couple later received an email from the landlord saying “they were not welcome to rent the townhouse” because a neighboring family was concerned about the children and “noise.”

“I was fairly certain what she [the landlord] was implying,” Tonya Smith told The Washington Post. “But I asked for clarification. She said because it was a small town and everybody gossips, our unique relationship and our status would be the talk of the town, and she wouldn’t be able to keep a low profile anymore.”

Moore said in his ruling: “Discrimination against

women [like Rachel and Tonya Smith] for failure to conform to stereotype norms concerning to or with whom a woman should be attracted, should marry, and/or should have children is discrimination on the basis of sex under the FHA. ... Such stereotypical norms are no different from other stereotypes associated with women, such as the way she should dress or act (e.g., that a woman should not be overly aggressive, or should not act macho), and are products of sex stereotyping.”

Omar Gonzalez-Pagan, a lawyer representing the couple, says Moore’s ruling is the first in the nation to state that “sex” in the context of the fair housing law includes sexual orientation and gender identity.

“It’s an important ruling,” Gonzalez-Pagan says.

Telecom and Cloud Service Options Expand in Africa (NewsUSA) - Affordable mobile telecommunications in Africa are expanding through a joint venture between two Virginia-based companies.

"Our 20-20-20 goal is to serve 20 million Africans in 20 countries by 2020," says Paul Delkaso, managing member of the Virginia-based Artilium-Africa, and president and CEO of Tristar and Tritente Global Energy Group.

"Africa's population across 54 countries is 1.2 billion.

To be able to reach the maximum number of people most cost-effectively, our strategy is to partner with existing mobile operators to expand their customer base, while also looking for strategic opportunities," he says in a statement.

Artilium-Africa is a collaboration between an established Belgian telecommunications company and the Tritente Global Energy Group (TSMPG.com), an organization launching $4.6 billion worth of renewable energy and transmission infrastructure in Africa.

Artilium-Africa has initial arrangements in place with mobile operators in five African countries to provide cloud and telecom services.

of the key benefits of the service is Artilium's signature product, the ARTA Mobile Applications Platform. The platform enables network operators to open networks to third party developers and launch new services with elements from both telecom and web environments.

The service is designed to optimize the way customers in Africa use mobile technology, whether to pay bills, manage data, or connect with the world.

Artilium-Africa has the potential to leapfrog over mobile competitors Facebook and Google in pursuit

of the African audience, according to a company statement. The Artilium software allows for 80 percent to 90 percent cost savings and fast connectivity, while the decentralized design allows for inexpensive deployment of cloud, telecom, and value-added services. In addition, the company's credibility with many Sub-Saharan countries has facilitated several contracts that comply with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. University partnerships also may help build the Artilium network capacity in Africa.

Artilium-Africa has an exclusive license for Africa to deploy its disruptive 700-terabyte, 15-kwh micro data center, which requires about as much power as a vacuum cleaner and takes up about as much space as a small refrigerator. The company is integrating this micro data center with its "All-in-OneApp," with features that include bill paying, chatting, and connecting with services such as hallo doctors or hallo taxis. "Think PayPal, WeChat,Viber, WebMD et. al., rolled into one All inone App and tailored to Africa," says Delkaso.

Senior Living:

Good Sleep Does Get Tougher With Age

By Amy Norton Most people see their sleep habits shift as they age, but a new review suggests that some seniors lose the ability to get deep, restorative rest.

And that can come with health consequences, said review author Bryce Mander, a sleep researcher at the University of California, Berkeley.

Sleep “fragmentation” has been linked to a number of medical conditions, including depression and dementia, Mander said. People with fragmented sleep wake up multiple times during the night, and miss out on the deep stages of sleep.

It is true that medical conditions, or the treatments for them, can cause sleep problems, according to Mander.

But poor sleep can also

contribute to disease, he added.

Take dementia, for example. Research suggests there is a “bi-directional” link between sleep disruptions and the dementia process, said Joe Winer, another Berkeley researcher who worked on the review.

That is, dementia often causes sleep problems; poor sleep, in turn, may speed declines in memory and other mental skills.

According to Winer, animal research suggests that deep sleep helps “clear” the brain of the amyloidbeta proteins that build up in people with dementia.

So there may be a “vicious cycle,” Winer said, where dementia and poor sleep feed each other.

Similar vicious cycles may be at work with other diseases, too, Mander said.

Why Yoga Relieves Stress,

He also stressed, though, that some shifts in sleep habits may be perfectly normal.

Older people are famously prone to being “early to bed, early to rise.” They may also sleep a little less than they used to in their younger days.

And that may be fine, the researchers said.

“We don’t want to create a panic that if you’re sleeping a little less than you used to, you’re going to develop dementia,” Mander said.

But, he added, it is important to recognize sleep as one of the lifestyle factors critical to good health -- right along with exercise and a healthy diet.

In fact, Mander noted, one reason that regular exercise keeps us healthy is that it can support betterquality sleep.

“Why do some people age more ‘successfully’ than others?” he said. “We think sleep is one of the factors.”

But people should not wait until old age to care about sleep. According to Mander’s team, people often start losing the capacity for deep sleep in middle age, and that decline continues over the years.

What’s not clear yet, Mander said, is whether good sleep habits earlier in life help protect people from sleep problems in old age.

The review, which analyzed medical literature on the topic of sleep and aging, was published online April 5 in the journal Neuron.

(NewsUSA) - Life is stressful. Between a down economy, long commutes to a job you may not even like, and overbearing bosses, not to mention trying to eke out a few minutes of "me" time in between diaper changes and dinner dates with your significant other, life can be challenging.

Equally apparent is that for decades we've been told that yoga can combat all of these stressors -- and yet, it seems as if it is one of the last things people try to take the edge off.

For Leslie Crespi, a social worker in Atlanta, it was the changes she saw in a colleague that got her to consider attending an Inner Engineering program of Isha yoga. A key component to the practice is the "kriya," which Crespi describes to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an interview as a "process to energize and balance the human system

using breathing."

"The kriya gives me a sense of balance and the ability to deal with life as it is," she tells the paper.

"It's not about what I do anymore. It's about how I am, and that's a beautiful way to live."

If the thought of having more balance and energy in your life sounds intriguing, the Isha Institute of Inner Sciences may just be for you.

Nestled in Tennessee's spectacular Upper Cumberland (45 minutes outside of Chattanooga), the retreat center offers daily campus tours that include light hikes, rejuvenating time spent in Adiyogi: Abode of Yoga (an energized meditation space), and a visit to the largest yoga and meditation hall in the western hemisphere.

For daytrippers, visitors learn yoga for free, if they arrive in the scheduled time for the session each day.

Looking to stay awhile?

An overnight includes the option of private studio accommodations, delicious vegetarian buffet meals, and an introductory yoga session of the visitor's choice, such as the yoga of sound, yoga for strengthening the joints, and yoga for purifying life energies.

The center also offers a myriad of opportunities for hiking and mountain biking on forested trails winding throughout nearly 1,400 acres. The center's five miles of mountain biking trails feature waterfalls, a spring-fed creek, and bluff overlooks.

And for those strictly interested in getting centered, there are beginning level yoga and meditation weekends, classical Hatha yoga programs, and individual wellness retreats.

dons are tangled or “catching” on another, this is an early symptom of arthritis.

2. Fatigue With rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the immune system attacks the joints, in turn, leaving your body feeling fatigued. A loss of appetite, which can also induce fatigue, can also be an underlying symptom of arthritis.

3. Chronic Inflammation “Flare-ups” or a periodic increase in inflammation is a common symptom of rheumatoid arthritis, the Arthritis Foundation says.

4. Poor Range of Motion Less mobile than years before? Can’t seem to reach for the top shelf without difficulty? These range-of-motion issues—when accompanied with pain—often point to arthritis, experts say.

5. Redness and Rash Though rare, in some cases, redness and rash may present itself, pointing to a condition called “psoriatic arthritis.” Red, flaky, and scaly in appearance, this inflammatory condition is incurable (but treatable) and may cause flares of joint pain, stiffness, and swelling – especially in the morning hours. Even mild skin psoriasis can have a significant degree of arthritis, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) says.

ARTHRITIS, See page 11B

By Candy Sagon You may be eating all the right foods, but are you eating them in the wrong way and not getting the most health benefits? Here are seven you should be eating differently: Bagged salads: Beware crushed leaves The longer bagged salads stay in the fridge, the greater your risk of salmonella from the juices from crushed leaves. Researchers in the UK recently found that during five days of refrigeration, those juices increased the growth of salmonella bacteria by 110 percent over normal levels.

Researchers say consumers should wash their bagged greens before using — even if the label says they’ve been pre-washed.

Bacon: Cook it in the microwave Cooking bacon in a skillet or on a griddle until it’s crispy can create nitrosamines, compounds that have been found to cause cancer in test animals.

Microwaving your bacon, however, creates far fewer of these chemicals, says the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. Plus there’s a bonus: Less mess.

White rice: Use oil, then chill Steamed white rice is full of starch that the body quickly converts to sugar, causing blood sugar levels to spike. It’s why eating too much is linked to a higher risk of diabetes. But if you tweak the way you cook it, white rice can be much healthier. Sri Lankan researchers in 2015 found that adding just two tea-

spoons of oil (they used coconut oil) to the water in which you cook a cup of rice, and then immediately chilling the cooked rice for 12 hours before reheating, converts the quick-digesting starch to a slow-digesting type called resistant starch, which the body doesn’t turn into sugar.

Carrots and red peppers: Stirfry for more antioxidants Cooking carrots and red peppers for a short time with a little oil yields a huge boost in antioxidants over eating them uncooked. One British study found that the body absorbed about 11 percent of beta-carotene from raw carrots, but 75 percent from stir-fried carrots. For red peppers, a 2012 study found the least amount of vitamin C and beta-carotene was lost after stir-frying, compared with steaming or boiling.

Yogurt: No whey? Whey!

That watery liquid on the top of your yogurt that you usually pour off?

Don’t. Stir it back into the yogurt instead. The liquid is whey, produced when milk is heated and strained.

If you pour it off, you’re cheating yourself of its protein, vitamin B12 and other good-for-you nutrients like potassium and calcium.

Cauliflower: Don’t nuke it Microwaving is usually best for cooking veggies because it uses little to no water and cooks quickly, which helps preserve nutrients. There’s just one exception: cauliflower. A Spanish study found that cauliflower lost more than 50 percent of its antioxidants when microwaved.

Bread: Eat it last Eating bread toward the end of the meal will have a healthier effect on your appetite and blood sugar levels than eating it on an empty stomach at the beginning. A 2015 study published in Diabetes Care found that eating carbs first (like the bread at a restaurant) spikes blood sugar levels significantly. Eating protein and vegetables first and then bread resulted in blood sugar levels about 30 to 40 percent lower for two hours after the meal, which can help you feel satisfied longer.

Don Cheadle To Depict Regina King is Bringing

Wall Street’s First Black Millionaire

In New Film

By Brennan Williams Don Cheadle is bringing the life of another historical figure to the silver screen.

The 52-year-old actor has acquired the film and TV rights to Shane White’s 2015 book Prince of Darkness, which chronicles the untold story of Wall Street’s first black millionaire, Jeremiah G. Hamilton. After leaving Haiti in 1828, the black broker defied the odds during the mid-19th century by rising to prominence in New York’s business world.

During his years as an entrepreneur, Hamilton would own railroad stock in trains he was legally barred from, acquire ships, and buy and sell real estate.

At the time of his death in 1875, Hamilton’s estate was reportedly worth an estimated $2 million ― making him the richest nonwhite man in the country, according to The Atlantic.

In addition to producing and starring in the developing flick, Cheadle will re-

Don Cheadle

unite with screenwriter and director Steven Baigelman, who worked alongside the actor on the Miles Davis biopic “Miles Ahead.”

The project will mark the latest biographical film role for Cheadle, who pre-

viously portrayed Davis, Sammy Davis Jr., Rwandan humanitarian Paul Rusesabagina and street hoops legend Earl Manigault.

Production details for Hamilton’s biopic will be announced at a later date.

the Tragic Story of

Atlanta’s Child Murders to Television

After her Emmy Awardwinning success on ABC’s “American Crime,” Regina King is now focused on highlighting the Atlanta child murders for FX’s upcoming series “No Place Safe.”

The developing drama series, based on Kim Reid’s 2007 memoir of the same name, will find the actress reuniting with “American Crime” executive producer John Ridley, according to Deadline. Reid’s book explores details from her childhood during the summer of 1979 in Atlanta, where her mother was tasked as an investigator in solving a string of homicides that ended in 1981 with more than two dozen children and teens killed.

Following a massive manhunt, Wayne Williams was arrested that year and found guilty in February 1982 for the murders of two victims ― based on forensic evidence found on the victims and Williams ― and sentenced to two consecutive life terms.

Regina King

The series is a part of King’s two-year deal with ABC Studios for her production house, Royal Ties.

For Ridley, who is also under King’s production deal, working alongside ABC Studios has been a great experience and has presented a lot of creative freedom.

“It’s been a really, really good partnership. They’ve been amazingly supportive.

They’ve given me a lot of latitude,” Ridley said in this month’s cover story of Variety. “They’ve been great about saying, ‘If that’s what you’re really passionate about, how can we support it?’”

Commentary When Bigotry From the White House No Longer Surprises Anybody Yeah, it’d be surprising for you, or anyone you know for that matter, to say what Spicer said, but it’s simply not surprising for it to come out of the White House. They have a track record that precedes them.

Neo-Nazi’s love Trump and his team for good reason. The KKK endorsed him for good reason.

This is the same White House that failed to mention Jews or the Holocaust on Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is the same White House whose Chief Strategist is Steve Bannon, who was repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism from his exwife. She testified under oath that Bannon did not want his children to attend schools with Jews and that he openly stereotyped Jewish students with insults in her presence. The Anne Frank Center and other Jewish groups have called Bannon out for anti-Semitic statements he has made even in the past few months.

A top Trump aide has deep ties to a Nazi-linked group that he openly represents.

This Nazi group recently gushed over how proud they were to see him randomly wearing a medal they gave him to a public event.

Two additional Trump aides were just recently discovered to have worked for designated hate groups.

Michael H. Cottman

I’ll stop now, but I could go on and on and on.

Trump’s long, direct history of making bigoted comments that offend virtually every group of people imaginable has been widely documented – so much so that I am afraid we’ve grown desensitized to it.

The truth is that what would actually be surprising is if we stopped seeing and hearing this problematic cast of characters saying and doing bigoted stuff. It’s just that bad. The near daily drip of ugliness emanating from the White House is both disgusting and overwhelming. I say overwhelming because as soon as you allow yourself to be genuinely frustrated with something they’ve said or done, they say or do something else horrendously offensive or downright dangerous. It’s hard to keep up.

Sean Spicer should be fired for what he said, but he won’t be. He does so much dirty work for the White House, and tells so many lies for them, that his comments are truly just a drop in the bucket. The bar for what it takes to be fired there seems BIGOTRY, See page 11B

Beyond the Rhetoric:

Rep. Maxine Waters relishes lowering the hammer on President Donald Trump and she is not showing any signs of letting up. And now Fox News host Bill O’Reilly is also squarely in her crosshairs.

“They need to go to jail,” Waters (D-CA) said during a recent appearance on MSNBC. Waters was referring to Trump and O’Reilly who have both been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women.

Waters said Trump was wrong to come to O’Reilly’s defense on sexual harassment, especially since Trump was involved in his own sexual assault controversy during the 2016 presidential election.

“It’s coming out of the mouth of someone who has said some terrible things about women,” Waters said. “Don’t forget he talked about grabbing women in the private parts and because he was important he could get away with it.”

“They are two of a kind,” she said. “I’m not surprised.”

“It’s all catching up with Bill O’Reilly and that sexual harassment enterprise at Fox [News],” Waters said, referring to the 50 advertisers who have stopped airing spots on O’Reilly’s show, “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Waters, a member of the

“This is a bunch of scumbags. That’s what they are. Who are all organized around making money.”

Waters, like many African-Americans, are waiting – not anxiously – for Trump to make good on his promise to offer Black folks a better way of life. I don’t think many people of color believe that Trump’s rhetoric is actually credible, and Waters, correctly, is holding Trump’s feet to the fire.

Trump promises safe streets in African-American communities and he vows to apply the law fairly, “equally and without prejudice.” But the president has already signaled that he is unwilling to embrace civil rights laws.

Trump’s Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, wants to stall – or end — a federal review of police departments where racial profiling, excessive use of force and racially discriminatory police practices are prevalent.

By the time, Nkrumah was overthrown in 1986, Ghana was over $1 billion in debt and had terrible credit. After the Nkrumah tenure, there were great challenges.

Congressional Black Caucus, has been firing verbal shots at Trump because she doesn’t respect him as America’s president, she doesn’t like the way he treats women, and she doesn’t believe he’s up to the task of leading the nation.

And she’s right.

Somebody has to speak up early and often to counter Trump’s feeble leadership, and it appears that Waters will fill that role for the foreseeable future. There are many who are hoping that Trump will get caught up in a big scandal and be forced to leave office in disgrace.

Waters, who has been a vocal critic of Trump since he took office, may have a crystal ball. She tweeted that Trump should prepare himself for leaving the White House early in his presidency.

“Get ready for impeachment,” Waters wrote last month.

Whether Trump gets impeached or not, Waters’ voice needs to be heard and her blistering critique of Trump and his administration serves as a rallying call for all Americans who voted against Trump.

And her disdain for Trump and his administration is evident.

“I just think the American people had better understand what’s going on,” Waters said on MSNBC.

How Obamacare Saved My Life

Ghana and South Korea – A Tale of Two Nations In 1957, Ghana was the richest nation in sub-Saharan Africa with a per capita income of $490. That was nearly the same as South Korea which had a per capita income of $491. By the early 1980’s Ghana’s per capita income had been reduced to $400 while South Korea’s per capita income had grown to a whopping $2,000. By 1990 South Korea’s per capita income was ten times larger than Ghana - $4,832 versus $481.

1957 is an important year as Ghana received its independence and became a self -governing nation.

Kwame Nkrumah became the first democratically elected leader. It was economically viable with more exported cocoa than any other nation in the world.

It possessed ten percent of the world’s gold. It also exported significant amounts of diamonds, bauxite, manganese, and mahogany. Its reserves were more than $532 million. Its liquid assets were seven times larger than its long-term debt.

Under Nkrumah, Ghana squandered its riches. Tribalism, patronage, heavy regulations, and tariffs were bad enough. However, the unabated corruption from top to bottom of government institutions encouraged the well - educated and talented workforce to migrate to

For a few seconds, I was surprised when I heard the ignorant, offensive, anti-Semitic comments from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. The man has had many low moments these first 90 days, but this was his lowest. In an attempt to justify military actions in Syria, Spencer started explaining how Hitler wasn’t as bad as Syria’s current leaders – which was a completely ignorant line of logic.

Then, out of nowhere, he said Hitler never used chemical weapons. Except, he did. For years. He killed millions on innocent people with chemical weapons. He mastered the use of chemical weapons on men, women, children, and the elderly.

This is Holocaust 101.

Then, the more Spicer tried to fix his screw-up, the worse it got. Spicer eventually issued statement after statement, each with their own new problems.

Soon, I realized it was not that I was surprised by Sean Spicer, but that my mind was just struggling to imagine a scenario in which I would ever say what he had just said.

Because here is the very painful truth, and a huge part of what makes Spicer’s horrendous blathering on Hitler so ugly – it’s actually not surprising at all.

extraordinarily high GNP growth rate, averaging 10 per cent annually during much of his 18-year rule, despite the drastic reduction of US foreign aid, the oil shocks of the 1970’s various world recessions, and droughts affecting agricultural production. In doing so, President Park defied his country’s historical tradition and orthodox economic thinking. He also undermined dependency theory accepted by many scholars in the 1960s, that because less developed countries (LDCs) were dependent on the export of primary products and the import of manufactured products, they were doomed to deteriorating terms of trade, low standards of living, and educational underdevelopment.”

Park also revolutionized the educational standards of South Korea. Illiteracy fell from 80% to less than 10%. By the end of the 1980s, 37% of South Korean students had some form of higher education.

Though I’m only in my twenties, I’ve survived circumstances that would devastate most. At the tender age of nine, I was diagnosed with a rare heart condition.

Less than two years later, I became the recipient of a heart and kidney transplant– all before my twelfth birthday. You would think that this medical saga would end there, right? It hasn’t. At 26, I have become a cancer survivor and I’m now a wheelchair user.

I’ve survived a great deal, which has motivated me to champion for the rights of people with disabilities. Like most people, becoming disabled wasn’t on my list of plans, but it’s the one club you don’t have to be born into to join. If you’re lucky enough to live to old age, you will likely develop a disability. That’s why health care reform and disability rights should matter to all of us, because it may be you one day. If it wasn’t for the Affordable Care Act (ACA),commonly known as Obamacare, I wouldn’t be here today. The ACA permitted me to stay on my father’s insurance until age 26, and subsequently receive cancer treatment at Johns Hopkins.

Naturally, I was thrilled to hear that the effort to repeal the ACA failed. Prior to the ACA, I spent much of

college frightened that I’d be kicked off my parent’s health care plan—the insurance company made several attempts to do so. Then the ACA was passed and my fears were put to rest. I was lucky enough to visit the White House and thank President Obama in person for saving my life through the ACA. After the election, I became terrified that the ACA would be repealed.

The proposed ACA repeal legislation meant that millions would lose their health care. I felt hopeless, but not helpless. I still had faith in lawmakers to do the right thing to protect us. Congressman Steny Hoyer (D, Maryland) is one of those leaders. As my representative, he’s spent fifty years in public office fighting for the little guys like me.

In January, we spoke at a “Save the ACA” rally at Bowie State University. He spoke about his decades-long work to pass influential legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and reminded attendees that disabled Americans would be harmed by a repeal.

I shared my experiences and the stories of my fellow women with disabilities that benefit from the ACA, Medicaid and services provided

by Planned Parenthood

Metro Washington. I was beyond nervous. My palms were sweating and my hands were trembling. Rep. Hoyer then reached out and helped me out of my wheelchair and to the podium to speak my truth. For me, the ACA goes beyond health care. This law improves more than individual health—it expands opportunity. The ACA freed me from the constant worry of being kicked off my health insurance.

As a result, I graduated from college and started a career of my own, which is an obstacle in of itself for the disabled. According to research released by the GradNation campaign, “75 percent of students with a disability believe they will continue from high school to postsecondary school, while only about 60 percent of parents expected their disabled child to do so.”

Attending college is often just a dream for disabled students that rarely comes to fruition. Sadly, the disability unemployment rate is 10.7% as many of us struggle to enter the workforce. The ACA changes that because access to health care means a pathway OBAMACARE, See page 11B

Headquartered in Rosemead, Calif., Edison International is the parent company of Southern California Edison, one of the nation’s largest electric utilities JUSTICE From page 1A Gorsuch is filling the vacancy left by Antonin Scalia, who died last year. Scalia was a formidable enemy of civil rights and a forceful legal opponent to affirmative action and various civil rights matters, particularly protections for LGBT Americans.

Gorsuch will be pivotal on several cases expected to come before the Supreme Court, including a Texas’ challenge to an Obama immigration policy and another on the ability of unions to collect fees. Experts say other upcoming cases in which the newly justice could tip the scales are deal with employment and immigration, religion and education.

Currently, Gorsuch and other justices are considering whether to hear a case involving the right to carry concealed weapons publicly.

Kyle Barry, policy counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, said his organization and others are concerned because the effect of Gorsuch’s ruling and presence on the court will be for years.

“This is for the next generation,” Barry explained. “We’re talking about a life tenured position for a relatively young nominee who may serve for decades while in the Supreme Court,” The NAACP LDF reviewed Judge Gorsuch’s judicial record, with a focus on the civil rights and constitutional issues that are of greatest relevance to the clients LDF represents, Barry said.

Its legal analysts examined all of his written opinions and dissents that bear on issues of employment and housing discrimination, criminal justice, voting rights, and access to the courts—as well as his votes in relevant cases in which other judges authored the decision.

“Based on a review of his record, we’ve found he has applied civil rights very narrowly, including discrimination in the workplace and even whether or not civil rights cases can have their date in court in the first place,” Barry said.

The LDF’s report also said Gorsuch holds views on government regulation that could undermine civil rights enforcement and deepen racial inequality. His views regarding the important work of federal agencies could lead to fewer and weaker protections for workers, the environment, consumers, and public health—resulting in harms that would disproportionately impact African Americans and other people of color.

Barry, Democratic senators and other opponents site the 2009 case of Alphonse Maddin as an example of Gorsuch’s affinity for siding with business rather than workers in his rulings.

Maddin was a trucker who got stuck on the road in sub-zero temperatures.To survive, Maddin abandoned his cargo to seek help. His employer fired him, because he left his truck unattended.

In response, Maddin sued and seven judges ruled in his favor. Only one judge, Gorsuch, did not.

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, cited this case as one of the reasons why she opposed Gorsuch for the nation’s highest court.

“Unfortunately, based on Judge Gorsuch’s record at the Department of Justice, his tenure on the bench, his appearance before the Senate and his written questions for the record, I cannot support this nomination,” Feinstein told colleagues before the scheduled committee vote on his

FRIDAY

nomination.

Like the other justices on the court, Gorsuch comes with impeccable credentials. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School. He also received a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University.

The American Bar Association reviewed Gorsuch’s judicial history and unanimously declared him to be “well qualified” to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

The ABA did not consider Judge Gorsuch’s ideology, political views or political affiliation. Its evaluation was “based solely on a comprehensive, nonpartisan, nonideological peer review of his integrity, professional competence, and judicial temperament,” said Nancy Scott Degan, chair of the ABA. Scott Michelman, senior staff at the Washington, D.C., American Civil Liberties Union, differs in his opinion on Gorsuch’s impact on the court.

The ACLU is a non-partisan organization whose stated mission is “to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States.”

Michelman said though Gorsuch is not an advocate for civil rights and LGBT rights like his Democratic counterparts, he believes the Supreme Court will continue its legacy of making changes for the best with Gorsuch present.

“Although the Court was for much of its history a conservative institution that protected existing power structures at the expense of African Americans in the past century and particularly in the past 63 years, the Court has protected and advanced the rights of African Americans in many important ways,” Michelman said. If this is a direct quote, he didn’t say anything in parenthesis. However, he may have mentioned it. If so, please put it in commas.

“For instance, since 1954 the Court has decided cases that have required school desegregation, protected voting rights, enforced anti-discrimination laws in employment and housing, and imposed and enforced limits on abuses in the criminal justice system including the conduct of the police,” he said.

“Recent years have seen the court back away from civil rights enforcement, most notoriously in striking down a core provision of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, but the Court has also preserved affirmative action and rebuffed an attempt to narrow the Fair Housing Act.” TRUMP From page 1A he is hiding serious conflicts of interest. At a time when trust in the American government is at an all time low, President Trump is creating more hostility and more distrust.

Patriotic Millionaires in their own words: “I believe our government has important responsibilities to help make this country a good place to live, not to just cut my taxes at the expense of the low income and middle class. I’m deeply concerned the upcoming tax plan will be used as just another opportunity to cut my taxes and the taxes of other wealthy people, making our country a worse place to live for everybody” said Patriotic Millionaire Rich Boberg, Entrepreneur. “‘I’m being audited’ is not an excuse for President Trump to not release his 2016 tax return.

Tax returns are not under audit the day they are submitted! This is particularly important because the Republican congress is about to consider tax reform. Frankly, the republicans should demand their release because this will be a major obstacle to getting public support for their tax agenda.

Remember the Obamacare debacle?” said Patriotic Millionaire Frank Patitucci, CEO of NuCompass Mobility.

“The American people need to know there are no conflicts of interest in the White House.

President Trump has a vast array of business ties that could conflict with his responsibilities as president. If the White House is advocating for tax policies, the American people need to know how the president and his family may benefit,” said Patriotic Millionaire Terry Meehan, Chairman of Azimuth Investment Management, LLC. “If Trump wants to run the country like a business, then he, the CEO, needs to answer to the board, the citizenry. We, the board, want transparency, and we want to see to what degree our CEO is compromising our legacy. Show us the numbers.

You are not selling us real estate, anymore. You ran for president. Accept the consequences,” said Patriotic Millionaire Pierce Delahunt, Philanthropist.

“There is just too much at stake with Trump’s tax return.

We can’t allow conflicts of interest to hold the US presidency hostage to a nation that is trying to destabilize our democracy.

The fact that President Trump refuses to budge on this issue is not a good sign. He should relent,” said Patriotic Millionaire John Hooker, retired healthcare professional.

DUI From page 1A street in Oxnard when he failed to stop at a T-intersection. He then drove through the exterior wall of the victims’ residence, striking the three children who were inside. The collision trapped a 2-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy between a wall of the residence and Ramos’ vehicle. The 2-year-old suffered broken bones that required surgery, had bleeding in her brain, and had to wear a body cast for seven weeks due to her injuries.

The 8-year-old was hospitalized for a month, having suffered a collapsed lung, broken bones that required surgery, and bleeding on his brain. The 15-yearold also suffered lacerations and abrasions to her arms and legs.

At the time of the offense, Ramos’ blood alcohol content was 0.17 percent. His driver’s license was also suspended from a prior driving-under-theinfluence conviction. In addition to the state prison sentence of 8 years, 4 months, Ramos was ordered to pay restitution to the victims and his driver’s license was again suspended.

CBC From page 1A The meeting, which was the first between CBC leadership and President Trump, started in the Cabinet Room and later moved into the Oval Office after members of the press recorded part of the gathering.

There has been a lot of discussion about whether the CBC should take a meeting with Trump, because of the president’s rhetoric regarding Black communities. On the campaign trail, Trump often painted the Black community with a broad brush, sensationalizing the poverty and violence that plagues some neighborhoods while neglecting the stories of Black achievement and success.

Despite his parade of Black celebrity friends, Trump’s relationship with the African American community is often defined by the incendiary media campaign he ran against the “Central Park Five,” four Black and one Hispanic youth, who were charged and convicted for the brutal sexual assault of a young, White investment banker in New York City’s Central Park in 1989. Trump paid for ads in four of the city’s newspapers.

“A couple of weeks after the attack, the real-estate developer Donald Trump reportedly paid $85,000 to take out advertising space in four of the city’s newspapers, with the headline: ‘Bring Back The Death Penalty.

Bring Back Our Police!’” wrote Quartz, the news website. “The boys’ lawyer, Michael Warren, told the Guardian that Trump and his ad ‘poisoned the minds of many people who lived in New York and who, rightfully, had a natural affinity for the victim.’”

Years later, all five men were cleared of all charges, their convictions were vacated and Mayor Bill de Blasio supported a $41 million settlement in 2014.

Trump and his father, Fred Trump, also faced housing discrimination allegations in the 1970s, when it was discovered that Blacks were routinely blocked from living in some of the apartments operated by the Trump Management Company.

The case was settled, “with no admission of guilt.”

So why meet with Trump?

Members of the Black Caucus were pointed.

“President Trump has met with various African Americans, however we’re the only African Americans that are elected to the United States Congress that can develop policy and offer a different viewpoint,” said Chairman Richmond as he left the White House. “The CBC represents 78 million Americans, we consistently fight [against] poverty, no matter who it affects.”

Rep. Lawrence, who represents parts of Detroit, said that the CBC doesn’t have the luxury of passing on a meeting with president.

“If there’s an opportunity to improve life for our constituents, we will take it,” said Lawrence.

The congresswoman spoke with Trump about recent news that the Environmental Protection Agency has set aside $100 million to address the water crisis in Flint, Mich. Lawrence said she was surprised that Trump knew the details of the situation and asked her who was at fault.

“It was a meeting where both sides listened and it was a meeting where we were very candid about disagreements,” said Chairman Richmond at the White House. “The surprising part is when we talked about the goals; there were more similarities than differences. The route to get there is where you may see differences; part of that is just education and life experiences.”

Each member at the meeting said that there were several direct and blunt exchanges with the president.

Rep. Bass said that she told the president that his comments about African American communities were not only hurtful, but also had the potential to

perpetuate negative stereotypes about Blacks and to shape the discourse surrounding mass incarceration and police reform.

Rep. Carson, a former police officer who was the second Muslim elected to Congress in 2008, said that he confronted Trump about some of the negative comments that Trump made about Muslim Americans and Islam during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The CBC members were surprised when Trump offered to meet with the group on a regular basis, perhaps quarterly. The members noted that it would take more than scheduled meetings in the Oval Office to affect systemic change in the U.S. The members also talked to the president about the impact of his recent budget blueprint that includes cuts to education and urban development.

With Republicans in control of the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives and the White House, the Black Caucus is gearing up for a series of tough legislative battles over the next 19 months, until the midterm elections in November 2018.

“We never thought we’d agree on everything in this meeting, but the one thing we did ask for is [candor],” the CBC chairman told reporters at the White House after the seven spoke with Trump. “He listened, and we talked, and we proposed a lot of solutions, many of which, I think, he had not heard before, and we’re going to keep advocating.”

TEAM From page 2A you invest in your core team like you’ll find yourself giving them responsibilities that will in turn lighten your load and increase your capacity to lead.

STEP 5: GROW WITH THEM Your core team should feel like a family. That means you are getting to know what they like, who they love and where they’ve been in life. It’s sharing with them the non- ministry/ business /organization side of your life and believing in them.

Pray with this team, break bread with this team and continue to get to know God with this team.

The stronger the bond a core team has the stronger the ministry/business/organization will be.

A core team is as simple as gathering a group of like-minded people who love and have a passion for the direction you want to go And are all about the vision. It takes clarity, commitment, and confidence on what that team should look like and a little investment to help them reach those expectations. If you have that core team I guarantee you will never feel alone, and accomplishing your dreams and goals will no longer just be a thought but A reality. Remember put God first in everything you do live your life with passion and I’ll see you at the top!

When these negative electrons are deficient or missing, health problems can occur. It’s as if we need a little Vitamin Earth every day as a nutritional supplement! Sustained contact with the Earth’s natural subtle surface electric energy can reduce inflammation and pain.

In Japan, people are encouraged to participate in shintin yoku, or forest bathing. A study began in 1982 has shown that spending time with trees improves well-being, reduces stress and depression. This time in nature boosts the immune system. In fact, a walk in nature even boosted working memory much more than walks in urban environments.

There are definite physical and psychological benefits derived from the practice of communing with nature. It decreases anxiety and elevates your mood; it improves self-esteem. Studies have also found that natural beauty can elicit feelings of awe, which is one of the surest ways to experience a mental boost.

Among people who work in an office, even a window with a view of nature is associated with lower stress and higher job satisfaction.

I encourage you to do a little “Earthing” to celebrate this Earth Day. Take some time to lay on the ground and feel the Earth beneath you, supporting you.

Imagine growing roots out of the bottom of your feet and feel yourself securely planted in the ground. Stake your claim. When your roots are strong; when you feel supported…you are able to create an abundant life. You reap the fruits of your labor.

My message for Earth Day is this: We are one. We are connected. Spend some time with your

Mother. Do something nice for her! She gives you everything you need, including life itself!

When you honor the Earth, you honor your life. And you also honor your children and your children’s children. You make a statement that your action is a belief in the future. Come into right relationship with your true mother… Mother Earth, Mother Nature, Gaia, Pachamama, Parvati, Terra, the Cosmic Mother.

Earth Day is something to celebrate Every Day. Go bathe yourself in the forest.

SECRETS From page 2A understand all the intricate and details around what they do.

Their clients do not.

They have other things on their minds. What you offer serves one aspect of their complex and busy lives. Show you understand how it helps or serves them. Focus on what it does for them and how it helps their lives.

Talk to your prospects and clients about how what you offer serves them, what it means for them and their lives or businesses. When you show you really understand what they need, they will know that you know your category.

3. Do something better than anyone else.

If you don’t believe that you are the best, why should your prospects or clients? And if you are no better than anyone else, why would they choose you?

Stand up and claim your specialness.

What do you do faster, better or more simply than anyone else? Perhaps you offer something more integrated or comprehensive. You might even do things with more flair or creativity.

Humility may be a virtue, but it sure gets in the way of marketing! It may take some soulsearching to find the “stardom” in you, that little piece of genius in what you alone offer, and to articulate it in a way that resonates with the right people, but it is worth it!

We are all unique – there is something or some combination that makes you stand apart from everybody else. What is it?

Of course, if you are not sure what it is that makes you special, you can always start your journey of discovery by finding your Genie.

PRISONS From page 2A According to the bill, California currently spends about $4.5 billion per year on the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Some of that money also trickles down to companies that provide services to inmates.

According to an article in the East Bay Times, CoreCivic, a company that owns several private facilities in the state, has received $2 billion from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

“Companies continue to profit as a result of high state incarceration rates. These forprofit companies provide necessary goods and services to state facilities, often at a markup. In effect, taxpayers are stuck footing the bill, enabling companies to see large profits for goods and services due to California’s prison population,” says the proposed bill.

AB 43 is supported by the California Teachers Association, Anti-Recidivism Coalition, California Nurses Association, Californians for Justice, and First 5 Association of California. The bill will be voted on later this month.

Thurmond and supporters of the bill say that investing in early education and prison prevention programs are key to stopping the School-to-Prison pipeline.

“Children who start kindergarten behind, are more likely to stay behind – a trend that feeds into the school-to-prison pipeline,” said Moira Kenney, executive director of the First 5 Association of California. “Early interventions like quality child care and preschool can break this cycle and put children on a path that leads to success in school and in life.”

But not everyone is happy about AB 43.

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB/ CA) said the bill would harm small companies who want to do business with the state. NFIB/ CA placed AB 43 on it’s “The Good, The Bad and Ugly” list.

According to NFIB/CA State Communications Director Shawn Lewis, the list tracks bills

that could negatively impact small business.

“Imposing a tax on a business that has been awarded a state contract is punitive and counterproductive to the goals of keeping costs down and creating jobs,” said Ken DeVore, NFIB legislative director, in a letter to Thurmond. “Such a tax serves no purpose for the state, and will only hurt small business.”

MOORPARK From page 3A Laurence O’Keefe (Bat Boy, Legally Blonde) and Andy Fickman (Reefer Madness, She’s the Man).

“I was honestly surprised to see the enormous cult following that this show enjoys,” said John Loprieno, director and Theatre Arts Department Chair.

“When we announced that we were doing “Heathers The Musical” this summer, I had people lined-up outside my office wanting to know when we would be holding auditions. This is a very funny, very dark and original musical that is not for the faint of heart. We like to get as many incoming high school students as possible involved in our summer productions to get them excited about starting as a new Moorpark College student in the Fall,” said Loprieno. Anyone who is cast must register for the 3 unit THA M10A: Theatre Production class.

“Heathers The Musical” will run July 20 through August 6 with evening performances from Thursday to Saturday at 8:00pm and Sunday matinees at 2:00pm in the studio theatre at Moorpark College.

RETIREMENT From page 8A challenges and having a comfortable retirement. Some people look for less expensive areas close to family members or even an expat community in a different country.

If you decide to stay in the same area, a smaller home can lower your property taxes and maintenance costs. You can also take any profits from the sale of a larger home and pay off debts or build an investment portfolio.

Housing aside, there are many ways to downsize your lifestyle, such as selling a vehicle, shopping at secondhand stores and cutting back on monthly entertainment expenses.

One helpful part of aging is you'll be eligible for all sorts of new discounts and benefits.

Look online for lists of stores or organizations that offer senior discounts. You can use the National Council on Aging BenefitsCheckUp to see which benefits you might be eligible for based on your ZIP code and personal information.

Bottom line: Many aging Americans don't have enough savings to fund their lifestyle through retirement. Deciding when to take Social Security benefits and where to live are two of the most pressing questions on the horizon. No matter what you choose, you may need to supplement your income with part-time work and look for ways to significantly lower your cost of living to enjoy retirement.

News from the D.A. VENTURA -- District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced that Daniel Alvarez, of Oxnard, was convicted by a jury of one count of assault with a deadly weapon.

The jury also found true a special allegation that Alvarez committed the assault for the benefit of and in association with a criminal street gang.

Alvarez was an active member of the Bad HabDistrict Attorney its criminal street gang in Gregory D. Totten the city of Oxnard.

At the trial, witnesses testified that Alvarez, along with five other members and associates of the gang, approached a group of five individuals, three males and two females, walking home from a restaurant in 2012.

One member of the gang asked the victims, “Where are you from?” and “Do you bang?” Eventually, one of the gang members threw a beer bottle at the chest of one of the male victims. A second male victim sustained four stab wounds to his back. When police arrested Alvarez two hours after the crime, he yelled the name of his gang during his contact with the officers.

Sentencing is currently set for May 16, 2017, at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom 25 of the Ventura Superior Court, County of Ventura. Alvarez faces a maximum possible sentence of nine years in prison. Four other members of the attack have already pled guilty and been sentenced in this case.

CASA PACIFICA RAISES MILLIONS, celebrates with groundbreaking ceremony

“Through our Building New Foundations of Hope capital campaign, we are raising funds to construct facilities that support the betterment of our children,” said Steve Elson, CEO of Casa Pacifica. “That’s really the bottom line. Once completed, these facilities will allow us to offer the 24/7 care and attention our community’s afflicted youth need to heal their bodies and regain control of their lives.” CASA, See page 11B

Crisis-care center for youth celebrates with a breaking ground ceremony in support of its capital campaign CAMARILLO, Calif. — Casa Pacifica, a nonprofit crisis-care and residential treatment facility for at-risk children in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, celebrated its Building New Foundations of Hope capital campaign with a groundbreaking ceremony on this month.

Local dignitaries and elected officials celebrate with Casa Pacifica at the groundbreaking ceremony for Building New Foundations of Hope capital campaign.

The campaign has successfully raised $16.1 million toward Casa Pacifica’s campus expansion efforts.

The campaign, which officially launched in 2013, has been focused on the construction of two residential Substance Abuse Cottages. Each cottage will have eight beds and support rehabilitation for youth who struggle with substance addictions. The overall project aims to make improvements and enhancements to the campus by expanding and supporting Casa Pacifica’s current services.

Casa Pacifica welcomed local dignitaries and elected officials, who said a few words about the progress the nonprofit made through this four-year campaign. Those included Steven Elson, Ph. D., CEO of Casa Pacifica; Dr. Rosalind C. Warner, president of Casa Pacifica’s board of directors; William J. Kearney, capital campaign cabinet co-chair; Mike Powers, chief executive officer of Ventura County; Kelly Long, supervisor of Ventura County District 3.

Casa Pacifica’s experience indicates that 75-80 percent of the children served on its campus either suffer from substance use issues or come from families where drugs or alcohol have been a causative factor in their removal from home. Studies show that almost half of foster care youth use illicit substances during their time in foster care — and at least one-third meet the criteria for a substance use disorder.

For their Santa Barbara debut,

the ensemble – including the multitalented vocalist and composer Caroline Shaw – will perform a stunning program that features Shaw’s piece, Partita for 8 Voices, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music.

About Roomful of Teeth Founded in 2009 by Brad Wells, the band gathers at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) in North Adams, Mass., where they’ve studied Tuvan throat singing, yodeling, belting, Inuit throat singing, Korean P’ansori, Georgian singing, Sardinian cantu a tenore, Hindustani music and Persian classical singing with some of the world’s top performers and teachers. Commissioned composers include Rinde Eckert, Judd Greenstein, Caleb

Burhans, Merrill Garbus (of tUnE-yArDs), William Brittelle, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Missy Mazzoli, Michael Harrison, Sam Amidon and Ted Hearne.

Kindergartener from Hathaway Elementary School Wins

2017 Youth Art Contest for 34th Annual California Strawberry Festival

Teacher Norma Cortez reads to the classroom from the strawberry book.

Youth Art Winner Fatima Ponce with teacher Norma Cortez

Oxnard, CA – From 951 entries Kindergarten to 6th grade, the whimsical roller skating strawberry design of five-year-old Fatima Ponce from Hathaway Elementary School in Oxnard was selected as the grand prize winner of the 34th Annual California Strawberry Festival Youth Art Design Contest.

Today Festival representatives orchestrated a surprise strawberry cupcake party and award presentation with her entire kindergarten class to celebrate the announcement.

Young Fatima received a $100 gift certificate and a framed presentation of her design which will also be

showcased before a crowd of thousands at the California Strawberry Festival May 20 and 21. Her teacher Norma Cortez, was awarded a $50 gift certificate.

She and her fellow students also took home field-fresh strawberries from Nakamura Farms. A representative from Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin’s office issued a certificate of recognition and Superintendent of Hueneme Schools Christine Walker joined in the festivities. The hundreds of students who participated in the contest from school districts throughout Ventura County will also receive a free Festival ticket as an appreciation for their efforts.

Ponce’s colorful winning masterpiece features a smiling strawberry complete with eyelashes and

a green-leaf crown, roller skating amidst a strawberry patch. After a class discussion about strawberries and how they grow in Oxnard, she and her classmates worked independently to express the Festival’s atmosphere and what the event means to the commu-

nity. To create the design, Ponce used her imagination and positive outlook for the concept, and went to task with crayons.

“Art and language arts are her favorite subjects,” says proud teacher Cortez.

“It’s very exciting for Fatima who is somewhat shy and often prefers to be by herself in the classroom.

It’s wonderful that her design was recognized as a standout among submissions from students who are much older.”

“The Youth Art Design contest offers a unique way to engage children while spreading awareness of a celebration that pays tribute to the region’s rich agricultural heritage and gives back to communities,” says Festival Chairperson Kim Gibas. “The teachers do a terrific job to share the study STRAWBERRY, See page 11B

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 May 17, 2017 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 024443-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The sale will be held at the main entrance to the Government Center Hall of Justice, 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA 93001. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $441,583.11. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit

totaling $44,158.32 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $44,158.32 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable.

The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash.

The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment.

All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure.

The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.

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.

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.

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

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1649 KIRSTEN AVE, SIMI VALLEY, CA 93063 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $382,552.49 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

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

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

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

you may call Auction. com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0800287315-1.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 19215 VILLAGE 19, CAMARILLO, CA 93012 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $360,135.92 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

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

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

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction. com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0900052614-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale

may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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

You may examine the file kept by the court.

TURNER A.K.A. JOHN MICHAEL TURNER A Petition for Probate has been filed by NORA J. TURNER in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that NORA J. TURNER 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.

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

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on 5/11/17 at 9:00 AM 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.

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/ or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).)

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED August 9, 2006. 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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On May 19, 2017 at 11:00 AM, at the main entrance to the Government Center Hall of Justice, 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA 93001, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on June 11, 2007 as Instrument No. 2007061100116452-0, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Ventura County, California, executed by JAMES L SMITHSON, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of ING BANK, FSB as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5336 HIDALGO ST, CAMARILLO, CA 93012-6733 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $331,123.74 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

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

Page 9B

check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0800244915-2. 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.

ARTHRITIS From page 9A 6. Stiffness For many, arthritis begins with the inability to fully extend or bend a joint.

Your joints may feel stiff, tight or full due to inflammation. Fortunately, experts suggest starting your day with a simple stretch session will reduce this symptom.

7. Swelling When comparing your joints, if one appears larger or puffier than the other – assuming it’s not due to a previous injury – that swelling may be indicating an underlying issue with arthritis.

BIGOTRY From page 11A to have nothing to do with bigotry. We’ve reached a new normal where bigotry is fully allowed in the highest forms of government.

I’ll close with these words from Dr. Martin Luther King, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Republicans may remain silent about bigotry from Spicer, or Bannon, or Trump, but we must never remain silent – even if the bigotry is not directly targeting Black folk. We must never grow complacent. We must never get to the point where we are casual or comfortable with racism or discrimination.

WATERS From page 11A to protect citizens of color who are legitimately skeptical of police.

Under the Obama Administration, the Justice Department began 25 investigations into police departments and sheriff’s offices and resolved civil rights lawsuits filed against police departments in 15 cities, including Cleveland and Ferguson, Missouri.

But now Sessions said he wants to review the policy and in doing so he is trying to block a plan to overhaul police departments where racial discrimination is prevalent. Trump’s so-called “new deal” for African-Americans has no merit. He knows it. And Black folks know it.

Meanwhile, Maxine Waters is using her Capitol Hill bully pulpit to pummel Trump at every opportunity. She may not get the president impeached, but she will be the steady drumbeat of reason that America needs for the next few years.

GHANA From page 11A concentrated on making a hefty manufacturing segment within its economy which would turn around its trade imbalance with so many other nations. Free enterprise, a gigantic “dose” of it will solve many of Ghana’s economic problems.

Ghana needs serious infrastructure improvement. They need to create a construction industry that could provide the hundreds of thousands of jobs needed to address the infrastructure challenges that exist. Under President George W. Bush, Ghana received a $800 million grant from the United States under the Millennium Challenge Program. They used the money to build a national highway, the “George W. Bush Highway”. We tried to encourage them during a trade mission to employ American construction firms who would train their civil engineers, architects and provide new on-the-job training programs for new construction workers. Instead, they hired China state owned construction firms. What a wasted opportunity.

Another example of Ghana’s trying to make socialism a success is the former Ghana Airways. It obtained flying lanes to various nations (including the United States) around the world. They never made a profit and eventually failed. What one Ghanaian entrepreneur confided in me was “A government cannot run a business. When will my country learn?”

The problems with third world nations are clear. To achieve success they need capitalistic business models, progressive educational systems, a rule of law preventing corruption within the government sectors and a robust export strategy that fuels a growing economy. Oh yes, one last thing: Democratically elected officials who must be accountable from election to election.

Mr. Alford is the Co-Founder, President/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. Website: www.nationalbcc.org Email: halford@nationalbcc.org OBAMACARE From page 11A to education and employment for the disabled.

Humbled by this opportunity to share my story, I stepped down from the stage feeling motivated. I thought it would be the last time I’d interact with Rep Hoyer. Luckily, I was wrong. He surprised me with a phone call inviting me to attend President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress as his guest.

We talked about what my attendance symbolized. I, along with other attendees, represented the faces of America and the lives in the balance if health care reform was repealed. He met with me in his Capitol office. I was only expecting a handshake and perhaps a selfie, but he had something different in mind.

We had a heart to heart about what lay on the horizon for disabled people under a Trump presidency. The outlook seemed grim but we remain optimistic because we could hear the loud roar of the American people championing for progression and not regression. Women and men joined together for numerous nationwide demonstrations. They demanded an end to threats to defund Planned Parenthood and took to town halls to remind Congress that they work for us, the American people, and what’s in our best interest is affordable health care.

As we left to attend the President’s address, he told me about his fifty years in office and running for office in his twenties. He reminded me that even the youngest person can effect change. Politics has the power to fuel revolutions that can liberate even the most marginalized people. We went our separate ways as he sat on the House Floor and I was sat in the balcony gallery. I was joined by remarkable veterans who fought for their country, only to return with crippling disabilities, and Muslim-Americans impacted by the President’s discriminatory immigration ban.

The beauty of America is its diversity, which much of the President’s address seemed to focus on limiting. Trump’s words spoke to moving forward with initiatives that would further divide the United States by race, class, gender, religion and, quite frankly, limits to our freedom. After Trump closed his address, I left the Capitol in wheelchair paratransit and wept the entire 1 hour drive home. I was scared for the future of my country but inspired by Mr. Hoyer’s words reminding me that we cannot give up or give in.

He was right. The results speak for itself. Trump and proponents of the new health care bill failed in their attempt to repeal the ACA, but they have pledged to not give up in their attempts to repeal the health care law. All of this was thanks to the spirit of the American people who made their voices heard across the country. The wellbeing and humanity of our fellow citizens were protected.

The resistance is not over and this will not be the last time we see the foundation of Capitol Hill for the greater good of the country.

We are America, the beautiful. The strong and the resistance.

After three previous albums, recorded and mixed in various studios with assorted engineers and producers, the band was ready to take the creative helm. With the support of a loyal group of fans, friends and family, they raised the money to not only make an album, but create their own recording studio.

This event is for ages 21 and over. Tickets are $13-$15.
