Time capsule found at Massachusetts Statehouse By Rodrique Ngowi BOSTON — Crews removed a time capsule dating back to 1795 on Thursday from the granite cornerstone of the Massachusetts Statehouse, where historians believe it was originally placed by Revolutionary War luminaries Samuel Adams and Paul Revere among others. The time capsule is believed to contain items such as old coins and newspapers, but the condition of the contents is not known and Secretary of State William Galvin speculated that some could have deteriorated over time.

Celebrates Health Clinic Partnership between Church and University
By Tim Pompey The B.A. Huggins Outreach and Worship Center in downtown Oxnard was anything but inhabitable a year ago. Purchased last winter by Bishop Broderick Huggins, the senior pastor at St. Paul Baptist Church, the worship center is located at 840 South G Street directly across from Community Center Park. Huggins personally purchased the center from its previous tenants, the Chinese Christian Church, which had moved its congregation to Camarillo. Remarking about the change in the facility since he first bought it, Bishop Huggins reminded the audience gathered at the worship center on Saturday, November 6 that “this time last year, this facility was a complete disaster.” Now, with the building remodeled, the center holds regular Sunday worship services and has a kitchen in the back where volunteers offer free meals and other services to the local community. One of those services will operate out of a revamped fifth wheel trailer in back of the worship center that has been turned into the newly christened Frances Huggins

Community Health Clinic. For Huggins, the clinic is part of his overall vision to minister to residents in an area of Oxnard that is

County Transportation Commission Launches New Line of Buses By Tim Pompey After some rocky years of operation, including dealing with a previous bus operator’s sudden declaration of bankruptcy, the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) held a dedication ceremony on Friday, December 5 to announce that they have assumed full ownership of a new line of buses and will be pushing forward with plans to run their own intercity transportation system throughout Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara Counties. The 14 new clean-diesel MCI motor coaches have been in the works for the last two years says VCTC Executive Director Darren Kettle: “Two years ago, we said that we’re going to own our own buses. This fleet has been two years in the planning and we finally received delivery at the end of November, and we’re looking forward to having the new buses out in service by the end of December or early January.” According to Kettle, Roadrunner will continue

to be the contract operator. “The VCTC owns the buses,” he said, “but Roadrunner will provide the maintenance and the drivers to make sure the service rolls on the streets.” Overall in Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Los Ange-
les Counties, the bus service currently has nearly a million riders a year. While Kettle states that ridership has flattened out over the last couple of years, he believes that the new buses will spark greater interest among those who need to

Americans Take to the County Transportation Street to Protest Police Commission Launches
KILLINGS
Thousands of people marched from Freedom Plaza to the United States Capitol on Saturday, December 12, 2014 in the National “Justice For All” March. The event was sponsored by the National Action Network (NAN) to highlight police brutality and criminal justice reform in the United States. (Photo Credit: Milbert O. Brown, Jr./NNPA)
From page 1A by mounting massive demonstrations and rallies, the main one held here in the nation’s capital. Organized by major civil rights organizations, the goal of the protest was to demand federal intervention in state prosecutorial systems that have failed to indict anyone in the police killings of victims such as Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Aiyana Stanley-Jones,
and Pearlie Golden. “We must have this nation deal with the fact that just like 50 years ago, the states have taken a position to rob the human rights and civil rights of citizens with states rights-protected laws,” said Al Sharpton, the rally’s chief organizer. The demands by Sharpton included: expanding the powers for the Justice Department to investigate state prosecution procedures; na-
tional legislation to lower the threshold for grand jury indictments of police officers; and independent special prosecutors to examine potential cases of police brutality or misconduct. The march drew a multiracial, intergenerational sea of sign-toting citizens from all over the nation. Wanda Sharif, from Beaumont, Texas, had already been in Washington to PROTEST, See page 12A
New Line of Buses
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
From page 1A our buses will have wi-fi, which adds to the commute beyond just riding the bus.” Gregg Hart, a city councilman from Santa Barbara and the public information officer for the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments, thinks the new buses will help ease the current daily congestion along the 101 corridor into Santa Barbara County. He points to the large number of commuters coming up from Ventura County to jobs in south Santa Barbara County. “Having the coastal express bus service for those commuters to come in a high occupancy vehicle is a big help to reducing congestion into Santa Barbara County,” he said. Hart states that since
bus service to Santa Barbara County was offered 10 years ago, ridership has grown astronomically. “Our traffic projections looking forward are that there are going to be more and more residents of Ventura County commuting to jobs in Santa Barbara County,” he explained, “We’re trying to provide alternative transportation options for those commuters who are going to be increasing, and this bus service is the backbone of that effort.” County Supervisor Peter Foy, who represents east Ventura County, believes that having the VCTC own their own bus line is a major step forward from where the organization was two years ago, after the operators of the
(Photo Credit: Tim Pompey)
previous Vista bus line declared bankruptcy and left commuters in a quandary. Aided by funding from Proposition 1B (passed in 2006 to help fund the state’s highway infrastructure), Foy believes that the new bus system is a major improvement in providing access to local public transportation. “This is an exciting time for VCTC with the improvements to projects across Ventura County and a major leap forward in public transportation,” Foy asserted. “For the first time in our history, we own the buses. Combined with Roadrunner’s expertise with these vehicles, we’ll be assured that they won’t face potential disaster again.” VCTC, See page 12A

Squid revels in the sooperseekret Monterey Downs documents accidentally released by Seaside.
Early Christmas…When a plain brown envelope arrives in Squid's mailbox this time of year, Squid wonders whether it's secret documents or another 8-armed sweater from grandma. Hallelujah, people: This year it was secret documents. There was the usual array of stuff in Squid’s P.O. box when Squid checked the mail: the latest edition of Cephalopod Monthly, with advice on how a single cephalopod can better cover local elections and make the most of inter-species dating; and that plain brown envelope marked “Hush Hush.” And the document the envelope contained provided mega-insight into the minds and methods of those planning Monterey Downs—especially as the proposed horse track/housing development relates to water. Or lack thereof. In short, there's not enough water to do the whole project, and they know it. The 16-page document was written by a trio of attorneys with the Los Angeles firm Richards Watson Gershon and carries the inelegant subject line, “Water Supply Analysis Requirements for the Monterey
Downs Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report.” Yawn, right? Except there’s an epic cringeworthy part. On every single page, there’s the following notice: “Confidential. This material is subject to attorney-client and/or the attorney work product privileges. Do not
disclose the contents hereof. Do not file with publicly accessible records.” Whoopsies. Apparently, in response to a sweeping Public Records Act request from the activist group Keep Fort Ord Wild, the city of Seaside released all emails with Monterey Downs MONTEREY, See page 12A

Hazards reduced at Mission Rock waste disposal PLANT
VENTURA, Calif. – County leaders addressed the Board of Supervisors today to update them on the progress being made to ensure public safety at the waste disposal site where a chemical reaction caused an explosion and fire on November 18, 2014. The waste disposal plant has had its permit suspended and there are no active operations currently underway except for the clean-up efforts. “We have made a great deal of progress,” said Chris Stephens, Director of the County’s Resource Management Agency. “The site has been neutralized and cleaned up with the exception of the ‘lake’ in the center of the facility where the initial explosion occurred. That area is expected to be neutralized, solidified and removed in the next three weeks.” Hundreds of on-site tests were conducted to identify the materials involved and determine their safety. As the volatility of the materials involved subsided, more than 50 sam-
ples were sent to off-site laboratories for more extensive testing. All of the tests returned negative results, indicating the tested areas were non-hazardous. In addition, numerous off-site soil and produce tests were conducted in the agricultural areas surrounding the waste disposal plant by the Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Public Health with the assistance of the Ventura County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office. The tests looked for volatile organic and semi-volatile organic compounds as well as a 21-page list of pesticides and metals. Every test came back “non-detect” or “essentially non-detect.” “It is my professional opinion that the produce from the area is safe to harvest and consume,” said Agricultural Commissioner Henry Gonzales. According to Stephens, the recent rainstorms did not affect the safety of the site. All of the water was contained to the site with
no run-off into neighboring areas. Disposal of materials on the site is expected to begin shortly after the first of the year. The waste disposal plant will not be allowed to reopen until three conditions are met. The site must be completely cleaned and deemed safe. The company must demonstrate is ability to operate the facility safely, and there must be an agreement from the city of Oxnard to accept products from the facility. The cost of the response to the incident is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $1 million to date. This includes the initial fire and law enforcement response, health care costs and ongoing remediation costs, but it does not include the two fire engines damaged and contaminated in the incident. If they are found to be total losses, they would raise the figure by almost $1 million more. Work is continuing on the clean-up effort and the Board will receive another update on progress when it reconvenes in January.

Lakers Coach Byron Scott Texans' Andre Johnson Treats Kids to a fires back at Carlos Boozer Christmas Shopping Spree Andre Johnson
By Ed Mazza Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is known as one of the best offensive players on the field. Off the field, he’s known for something else: He’s practically the living embodiment of Santa Claus. For the eighth consecutive year, Johnson has treated at-risk children from child protective services to a shopping spree at a local Toys R Us store. Johnson, who wears #80 on his jersey, gives the kids 80 seconds to run through the store and fill a shopping cart. Johnson said his uncle came up with the idea. “He was like, ‘Give ‘em 80 seconds to run through
the store and let ‘em just get what they want.’ And I was like, ‘That’s not enough time.’ And he was like, ‘They can grab a lot,’” Johnson told the Houston Chronicle. “So we did it the first year and when the kids came back, I was like, ‘Wow, I didn’t think they could grab that much stuff in that amount of time.’” he said. “So we just rolled with it from there and we just kept doing it every year.” In reality, the kids get even more than what they can grab in those 80 seconds as Johnson also gives each child a gaming system and games as well as gifts to give to their siblings. The final bill totaled
$16,266.26. It was so high that Johnson’s credit card company flagged the first register’s bill of more than $5,000 as suspicious. ESPN reports that Johnson had to call and explain it was really him spending all that money on toys. “I’m in a blessed situation so I’m able to help other people. That’s all that matters,” Johnson said in a Houston Chronicle video. “I’ve always said, if I was able to make it I would do stuff like this.” “You go through stuff as a kid growing up. You understand certain situations,” Johnson told ESPN. “I understand some of the things these kids go through.”
By Mike Bresnahan Let there be no doubt: Byron Scott is the Lakers' coach. His first big move drew a thumbs-down from Carlos Boozer, but Scott wasn't worrying about it Tuesday. Boozer had said he differed in opinion from Scott after being benched for defensive-minded reasons. "He's not the coach," Scott said "It's my opinion." Will Scott clear the air with the 13-year veteran? "I didn't need to necessarily talk to Jeremy [Lin]. He came to me," Scott said. "So, no, I don't feel I need to clear the air." Lin, like Boozer, was demoted to second string before the Lakers' 104-87 loss Sunday to New Orleans. Lin sought out Scott that morning and discussed in-depth what needed to be done to improve his game (hint: defense). Lin took the demotion hard, later calling it "one of the toughest situations I've been in." Boozer took a different approach. He and Scott did not discuss the demotion and Boozer failed to talk to reporters after Sunday's game. He made them wait more than 45 minutes a day later. When he finally emerged

for an interview, Boozer said he disagreed with Scott's defensive-driven decision. "That's just his opinion. I have a different opinion. I'll keep it to myself," Boozer said. Boozer’s replacement, Ed Davis, is the better defensive player, though his offensive game doesn't compare to Boozer's outside touch. Scott said he thought Boozer "played OK" against New Orleans. "But I thought Ed and Ronnie [Price] and that
starting unit got exactly what we talked about in that first half especially, where the guys were much, much better on that defensive end of that floor," Scott said. "From Day 1, we've talked about that. That's got to be our M.O. That's got to be the thing that we're going to start doing on a night-tonight basis. When we start doing it on a night-to-night basis, then we'll start winning games. But if we keep going up and down, then there will probably be more changes made."

Mario Balotelli
Football Association over a racially-charged Instagram post. Balotelli, who has been subjected to racist chants by fans during his tumultuous career, reposted an image on Dec. 1 of video game character Mario of the "Super Mario" franchise that included offensive text. Beneath the seemingly positive slogan "Don't Be Racist" there was an image of the character and text that read: "Be like Mario, he's an Italian plumber, created by Japanese people, who speaks English and looks like a Mexican. He jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew," reported ESPN FC. The 24-year-old Italy star eventually deleted the image, but not before it gar-
nered plenty of attention. In attempting to defend the reposted image, Balotelli pointed out that his adoptive mother is Jewish. A day later, he apologized for the incident, claiming it was an attempt at a humorous anti-racism message that he posted in part because of his own "Super Mario" nickname. The defense and apology were apparently not enough to keep the FA from charging him for an alleged "Aggravated Breach" of its rules. Balotelli could face a fivegame suspension, reported The Washington Post. "We acknowledge the FA's decision and the player will work through the process to answer the charge," a Liverpool spokesman told BBC Sport.

The federal government is putting prisons on notice, reminding them that incarcerated students with disabilities are legally entitled to the same rights and protections granted to students with disabilities in public school settings. In practice, this means prisons are responsible for providing things like speech therapy, hearing aids, tutoring and feeding tubes for students identified as needing them. And how prison wardens respond will have an outsize effect on the nation's population of specialeducation students: “Students in juvenile justice facilities need a worldclass education and rigorous coursework to help them successfully transition out of facilities and back into the classroom or the workforce becoming productive members of society. Young people should not fall off track for life just because they come into contact with the justice system,” Duncan
The Education Department is issuing new guidance on how juvenile detention facilities must ensure students with disabilities are provided with special education protections.
said in a statement. The news comes amid widespread concerns that students with disabilities are suffering in jail. "Evidence suggests that proper identification of students with disabilities and the quality of education services offered to students in these settings is often inadequate," Musgrove and Yudin write in their letter. Concerns include frequent mobility between prisons,
overcrowding, a dearth of qualified teachers and the "inability to address gaps in students' education." IDEA includes a provision that students with disabilities have the right to a "free appropriate public education" in the "least restrictive environment" -- in other words, they must be given accommodations for their disability while being included with their typically able peers to the greatest extent possible.
HONOLULU – Author and reading teacher Dennis Brooks knows how important learning to read is to a child’s confidence and development. His new book “Breaking with Dyslexia: ADD/ADHD Aphasia Autism Stuttering Hearing & Sight Problems” (published by Lulu) provides reading tips and techniques for children of all reading levels. Intended for both individuals and groups, “Breaking with Dyslexia” teaches readers how to read using phonetics, syllabication, spelling and memory drills in a concise format that children will understand, no matter their reading level. With practice, Brooks asserts, children will be able to decode new words by sounding them out on their own. Brooks tailored “Breaking with Dyslexia” to meet
the needs of not only children with dyslexia, but also those with speech impediments, hearing loss, autism and attention deficient disorder. With his book, he hopes to create faster, more confident readers. An excerpt from “Breaking with Dyslexia”:
“The program is called Say-Spell-Say with Fonikz and is simply referred to as say-spell-say. It was designed especially to help slow learners establish a solid reading foundation. It has been tested and proven to be successful in teaching dozens of dyslexic children and adults to read.” About the Author Dennis Brooks was a senior instructor and curriculum developer for the U.S. Army. After retiring, he attended college while working as an assistant teacher. As an assistant, he was put in charge of the third grade reading program, from which he was inspired to write “Breaking with Dyslexia.” He previously published “Teach Children to Read Faster”, “The Science of Learning to Read” and “Read Write Speak Better English.”

The Ranking Member was joined by key members of Democratic House leadership, Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD), and Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Joe Crowley (D-NY). Also in attendance were prominent members of the Financial Services Committee, Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Nydia Velazquez

In her remarks, Waters underscored the importance of renewing TRIA promptly to protect American jobs, businesses and the economy. “By ensuring terrorism insurance is affordable and available – TRIA gives businesses the confidence to continue investing, creating jobs and growing the economy. It allows construction and economic development to continue. And it ensures major hubs of commerce – like Los Angeles International Airport and the Port of LA – continue bringing tens of billions of dollars in economic development into California – and the American economy,” said Congresswoman Waters.
Boxer Calls for New Standards for Toy Guns to Protect U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) sent a letter to the Commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Elliot F. Kaye, urging him to review a California law that will help ensure that toys guns are not mistaken for real guns, and to adopt similar standards for all toy guns sold in the United States. "The death of 12-yearold Tamir Rice in Cleveland last month is just the most recent example of what can happen when a police officer mistakes a play weapon for a real firearm," Senator Boxer wrote. "The Commission plays a critical role in protecting the public from possible injury or death associated with toys."
Senator Barbara Boxer
On November 22, 2014, Tamir Rice was killed in Cleveland, Ohio by an officer who mistook the toy airsoft gun he was playing with for a real gun. There are reports that the orange safety tip that is supposed to identify the toy as fake
was removed. The CPSC is the regulatory body charged with assessing the efficacy of the current rules for toy guns to ensure that they are protecting American children from harm. Senator Boxer is asking Commissioner Kaye to review the Imitation Firearm Safety Act - legislation signed into law in California this year that will require all toy guns sold in the state to be painted a bright color. She wants the agency to strengthen the current toy gun standards, similar to a provision in the California law, to reduce the risk of death and injury associated with realistic toy guns.

Furthermore, the report found that

last year. Companies with already significant numbers of women leaders have more women in their board rooms. And fewer companies report having no women in top leadership posts. But progress has been too slow, incremental and unsatisfying. Women hold just 11.5% of the top executive positions and board seats or just one in every nine positions. California is an economic powerhouse, and we have an opportunity to take the lead on this issue. Studies consistently show that having women serve in the board room and in top leadership positions is not only good for women, it’s good for business and the economy.

For the fiscal year to date (July 1-November 30), total revenues reached $34.3 billion, beating estimates by $1 billion, or 3.1 percent. “California is experiencing a solid post-Recession upswing, which has brightened the State’s revenue picture,” Chiang said. “However, while the timing is unpredictable, history reminds us that booming economic times are always followed by painful lows. It is therefore critical for the State to take advantage of this window to smartly manage longterm fiscal risks such as deferred spending on critical infrastructure and unfunded retiree health care.” Income tax collections for the month of November came in $259.5 mil-

Corporate tax revenues were $163.8 million, or 205.3 percent, above estimates. As of November, the General Fund accumulated outstanding loans of $18.5 billion, which was down $2.7 billion from what the State expected to need by the end of November. This total was financed by $15.7 billion of borrowing from internal state funds and $2.8 billion of borrowing from banks and other outside investors.

Rudy Giuliani Says GOP Lawmaker Demands Teachers Unions are to Blame for Apology from Penn State President Violence in Black Communities for 'Hands Up' Gesture By Rebecca Klein Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has not been shy about airing his opinions on the recent deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner at the hands of police officers. Over the past few weeks, Giuliani has bashed current Mayor Bill de Blasio's leadership amid local protests related to the two deaths, and repeatedly proclaimed that black-onblack crime is a far bigger problem than strained relations between police and black communities. But in an interview with talk show host Geraldo Rivera, Giuliani added yet another group to the list of people he thinks are exacerbating these problems: teachers unions. Asked by Rivera about de Blasio's response to the

situation, Giuliani said that liberals have been ignoring the underlying causes of police brutality against black communities. While groups around the country have been protesting the decisions by two separate grand juries not to indict the police officers who killed Brown and Garner,
Giuliani suggested that these activists may be misdirecting their energies. "The energy that [Al] Sharpton and everyone else is spending protesting against police would save a lot more black lives if it would start talking about improving black education, if it would talk about improving the family situation in black neighborhoods, if it would talk about dealing with police officers with respect," Giuliani said. The former mayor then went on to suggest that teachers unions may be partially to blame. "Maybe all these leftwing politicians who want to blame police, maybe there’s some blame here that has to go to the teachers union, for refusing to have schools where teachers GIULIANI, See page 11B
Unarmed Black Man Shot By Florida Deputy
By Barbara Liston ORLANDO, Fla., - A Florida sheriff called for calm after a 28-year-old unarmed black man in a stolen car was shot and critically wounded by a white officer, after witness reports that the man had his hands up and amid racially charged protests nationwide about police violence. "I ask everyone to not rush to judgment and allow the investigation to be completed," Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said at a news conference in Orlando. Demings, who himself is African American and was surrounded by six religious leaders from the black community, said investigators have found some eyewitness accounts that conflict with that of the officer involved. Witnesses at the apartment complex said that the men had their hands up when the deputy opened fire, according to local media reports.
Cities across the United States have seen major protests in recent days after grand juries declined to indict anyone in the deaths of two unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers in New York and Ferguson, Missouri. After locating a stolen car at an apartment complex, Sergeant Robert McCarthy fired three shots, one of which hit Cedric Bartee. Demings said Bartee failed to comply with McCarthy's commands and "made extensive furtive movements,"
By Chris Branch Two children, ages 14 and 17, have been arrested and jailed without probable cause in southwest Ohio in the last year, prompting a federal lawsuit to be filed on their and other juveniles’ behalf in the state. The lawsuit alleges that police in Hamilton County have routinely and unconstitutionally arrested children without due process. Kim Tandy, who filed the lawsuit, stopped by HuffPost Live on Wednesday to address the suit, saying the trend is troubling. “It is disconcerting,” Tandy told host Alyona Minkovski. “I really feel like there is some real unfettered discretion that police have because we don’t have a system of checks
and balances in place. We don’t know necessarily why that occurs. But we do know, and we have plead this in the context of a preliminary injunction, we do know that the harm is much greater for children of color.” The two children remain unnamed because they are minors, going only by L.D. and S.W. in the case. S.W. was arrested in September for robbery despite only vague evidence attributed to him. He was jailed for a month before being acquitted. L.D., meanwhile, spent 15 days in jail and six months on house arrest after police arrested him for a robbery charge without probable cause.

making the deputy fear for his safety. Bartee underwent surgery and was in stable but critical condition, the sheriff said. A second man in the car was arrested unhurt. The shooting also comes only a few days after a 32-year-old Latino man was shot and killed in a car by an Orlando detective investigating a burglary. Police said the detective opened fire after he saw Alejandro Noel Cordero had a gun.
Penn State President Eric Barron joins the protesters doing a “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” pose.
By Tyler Kingkade A Republican state lawmaker in Pennsylvania wants the president of Penn State University to apologize for briefly joining students protesting over the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. During a protest on Dec. 3, a group of mostly black students laid down in a “diein” in front of the steps of Old Main, the university’s administrative building. The students were demonstrating in response to Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson not being charged after he shot and killed Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old. Penn State President Eric Barron came down and joined the protesters doing a “Hands Up, Don’t
Shoot” pose. State Rep. Jerry Knowles, R-Tamaqua, was not pleased with Barron’s brief activism, calling the gesture “disrespectful.” “I think it is unbelievable that the president of the university would show such disrespect to police officers, including its own campus police,” Knowles said in a statement. Knowles, a former police officer, told PennLive the gesture perpetuates a false narrative about Brown’s death. “It originated out of Ferguson, and the incorrect implication is when people are surrendering and their hands are in the air they are being shot by police ... and that is absolutely not true,” Knowles said.
Knowles said he won’t try to use it as an excuse to punish Penn State legislatively, like slashing their budget, he just wants Barron to apologize. According to PennLive, Republican Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, whose disctrict includes Penn State, agreed Barron’s “Hands Up” gesture was inappropriate. Barron said in a statement: “I strongly support and highly value law enforcement and our judicial process. At the same time, our nation faces a dilemma. We have a portion of our population who feels more vulnerable by virtue of their appearance. Our students faced this dilemma -PENN, See page 11B

Voices and View Points His name will be called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) …What does that mean? Words to Live by
Dr. Lonnie G. McCowan, pastor of Miracle Center of Ventura
By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan I know many of you are busily preparing for Christmas. Between end-of-year work responsibilities, holiday parties, and shopping, December can feel like a blur—especially when daily life doesn’t stop just because of the holiday season. In fact, the season can bring with it more stress, frustration, and worry than any other time of year. It can be a struggle to maintain the “holiday spirit” when you neglect the Christ of the holiday. Through Christ, God stepped into humanity to heal and deliver us. His birth brings us deliverance in so many ways, Christ understands the challenges you face. When Jesus was made human, He fully experienced life on earth. He is described as a “man of suffering and familiar with pain” (Isaiah 53:3). He understands your circumstanc-
es and offers to walk you through them (Matt. 11:2829). Remember that Christ is called Emmanuel—”God with us.” And He’s not just with us so we can say He’s with us; He is with us to deliver us. We have a reason to REJOICE in His abundant power and presence in every situation. These words from the prophet Isaiah says it all, as he described what Christ would be like to us: Isaiah 9:6 -- For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder, and His name will be called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Let these words sink into your heart: Wonderful Counselor… Mighty God… Everlasting Father… Prince of Peace. What does this mean? 1. He’s wonderful: Meaning there’s no one like him on the entire planet. He’s so wonderful that He will do wonders in your life, however He will not invade your life, and He will not force his wonderful blessings in your life. You must open up to Him and freely receive. He is the perfect gentleman. He will not break into your heart. Your heart must be Paid Advertisement
open to Him and then He will gladly come in. 2. Counselor: He will do for you what your therapist is incapable of doing. He will counsel you through every area of your life. This includes your family, finances, relationship, health, emotions, and vocation. You must remember He is all-wise and all-knowing. A counselor that will never be wrong. The Scripture says ask and you shall receive, not complain, and worry. The number one reason why people do not receive from this wonderful Counselor is they never ask. They are too busy worrying, griping, wishing and complaining. 3. Mighty God: This says it all. He is mighty and there is no God like him. He is it supreme and holds the entire world in his hand. He keeps your heart pumping every day. He keeps blood flowing through your body every day. You are breathing His air right now. Without Him the world as we know it would completely cease to exist and here’s what’s amazing this Almighty God. He invites little you and me to be His child and partner in this earth. WOW! This leaves me speechless! 4. Everlasting Father. This says he’s going to be NAME, See page 11B

Danger Ahead! Holiday Season Approaching! The Mind Matters By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC Caution! Beware! We are entering “Flu Season”. It’s that wonderful time of the year when we are hit with sniffles, aches, coughs and colds. We are physically unable to function. We need to stay home from work and rest. We’re unable to keep social commitments. We need others to take care of things we normally do. And sometimes we also need to have someone take care of us. We push the pause button on life until we are “better”. It all seems to sneak up on us when we’re in the middle of the “Holiday Season.” Is this a coincidence? Research has shown that positive emotions create a healthy immune system. Likewise, negative emotions
like frustration, anger and disappointment create stress in the body, which weakens the ability to fight off the flu. Negative emotions actually create a potent breeding ground for diseases far more threatening than the flu. The holidays present us with a bounty of opportunities for stress. We have additional expenses. Perhaps we need to make travel arrangements or prepare for out-oftown guests. On top of our everyday to-do list, we add gift shopping, gift wrapping, and gift giving, baking, cooking, decorating, entertaining and partying! It’s exhausting! And sometimes we suffer. We suffer disappointments when expectations are not met; frustration when we can’t get it all done; sadness when we feel that no matter what we
Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC
do we can’t get it right. We suffer loss when we remember the loved ones who are no longer in our lives. In order to ease the suffering, I suggest you add a few more things to your Holiday To-Do List: 1. Gift yourself with kindness. You deserve to enjoy the holidays, too. HOLIDAY, See page 11B
It Is Better to Give Than to Receive Inez Knows
Inez Lanns
By Inez Lanns It is that time of the year again – it is time for Christmas! During this time people get very busy with all of the festivities that come with this holiday. Children look forward to unwrapping Christmas presents, hoping to receive everything on their lists. One thing I have noticed, not only with children but also for many adults, is many people are carrying that “What are you going to get me,” “What can you do for me,” and
the “What am I going to get out of this?” attitudes. Are you going into this holiday wondering what you can get? Or are you thinking about what you can give? Your thoughts, words and actions are direct reflections of who you really are. I love gifts and nice things. I grew up with a ridiculous amount of gifts, big parties and so much more. One thing I was constantly told from my grandparents was, “It is better to give than to receive.” That sounded like a common quote in our home and in my life. I don’t think that I really understood what it meant until I grew up and had my own. My grandparents were givers – they gave to so many people, and I now see that due to all of their giving, they never lacked anything. They had an abundance of everything. It doesn’t make sense to the natural, logical
mind. Your analytical mind says that when you give up something, you will have less. But there is another principal operating that your logical mind cannot understand. However, it is a law that is always in operation. You reap what you sow, and when you give a lot you reap a lot. When you sow little, you reap little. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! Okay so maybe you’re a giving person, but are you giving with the right heart? What is your real motive behind all of the spending that you do on Christmas? Do you do it because you want to fit in with the Joneses? Do you do it because of the pressure and obligation you feel towards your family and friends? Do you give because you want people to look at you and praise you for giving? Do you go into debt trying to buy gifts GIVE, See page 11B

Senior Living:
Spotlight on Health:
By Shereen Lehman Outdoor workouts left women in a better mood and kept them exercising longer than counterparts who exercised indoors, according to a small study from Canada. Results of the threemonth trial involving women in their 50s and 60s suggest that outdoor exercise programs should be promoted to help older women keep active, the researchers conclude. “Being physically active is essential to be healthy and remain functional with age,” said senior author Isabelle Dionne of the University Institute of Geriatrics of Sherbrooke in Quebec. Only about 13 percent of Canadian women older than 59 years and less than 9 percent of older American adults get at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, Dionne’s team writes in the journal
(NewsUSA) - Most of us would consider many alternatives to having to undergo surgery or to be dependent on medication to find relief from back pain, sciatica, neck pain or chronic headaches. Fortunately, chiropractic care provides such an option. Doctors of Chiropractic have been winning over countless converts in the health care field by taking a holistic approach to caring for patients with these types of problems. To quote WebMd.com, Doctors of Chiropractic appreciate that "a person is made up of interdependent parts, and -- if one part is not working properly -- all the other parts will be affected." If you've never been to a chiropractor, here's what to expect:
Older Women Who Exercise Outdoors More Likely to Stick with It
Menopause. Exercise is important for post-menopausal women because it helps to decrease the prevalence of chronic diseases, physical disability, cancer, and infections and reduces the risk of dementia, Dionne told Reuters Health “Finding the right activity, meaning that it provides pleasure and motivation, is the key to remaining active
as long as possible,” she said in an email. Dionne said that one of her Master’s degree students had observed that women who exercised outside seemed to be happier. “Because adherence is the main problem with healthy lifestyle, I felt training outdoors may be part of the answer to help people start and, especially, remain active,” Dionne said.
Midlife Diabetes Tied to Memory Problems Later in Life
By Elizabeth Agnvall Having diabetes or prediabetes in midlife is linked to memory problems later in life, according to new research published in Annals of Internal Medicine. In fact, diabetes appears to age the brain about five years faster than normal aging. Johns Hopkins researchers in Baltimore tracked the blood sugar levels and brain health of more than 15,000 adults ages 48 to 67 with regular exams for 20 years and found there was nearly 20 percent greater decline in memory and cognitive function in those with poorly controlled diabetes than in those with normal blood sugar levels. “To have a healthy brain when you’re 70, you need to eat right and exercise when you’re 50,” says lead author Elizabeth Selvin, associate profes-
sor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Although the mental decline was worse in those with uncontrolled high blood sugars, Selvin says people who controlled their diabetes with medication and diet were also more likely to have problems decades later with memory, word recall and executive function—all of which are linked to early stages of de-
mentia. About 10 percent of American adults—21 million people—have diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Selvin adds that this study boosts the theory that heart and blood vessel health are strongly tied to brain health. Diabetes causes problems with blood circulation and can damage small blood vessels in the brain.
Eight Tips for Better Hearing Over the Holidays
For people with hearing loss, holiday gatherings can be exhausting work. But there’s a lot friends and family can do to reduce stress and frustration. Try these tips so that everyone can join the party. 1. Gain Attention Don’t start talking before you know your companion is engaged. Address him or her by name, and if you can, position yourself on the side where the listener’s hearing is better and gently touch his or her hand, arm or shoulder to signal the start of a conversation. 2. Reduce Background Noise Turn off the TV or radio. Don’t start talking while you’re already doing something noisy and distracting, such as emptying the dishwasher. If you’re in an office or other public place, look for a quiet corner where there’s less activity and noise. 3. Make Your Face Visible Your facial expressions and body language add vi-
tal information for the listener, so position yourself opposite the listener at an optimum distance of 3 to 6 feet. If the room is dim, turn on another light. Cut down on gestures that involve touching your face. 4. Help With Lipreading Hearing-impaired listeners need to see your mouth to best understand you. Don’t chew food or gum or smoke a cigarette while you’re talking. Be aware that beards and mustaches can hide your mouth. Make sure there isn’t a light directly behind your head. 5. Speak Naturally Shouting can distort the sounds of words, so can overexaggerating your words. You can pick up the volume a little, but don’t overdo it. And speak at a normal pace — not too fast or too slow. If the listener needs extra time to process, try inserting pauses. 6. Rephrase Rather Than Repeat If the listener doesn’t understand a word or
phrase, find a different way to say what you want to communicate. Don’t simply repeat the same words. If someone with hearing loss walks in on a conversation you are having with someone else, take a minute to bring her or him up to speed. 7. Get the Group to Help If you’re sitting down to a meal with others, the best place for the person with hearing loss is where he or she can see as many faces as possible — in your dining room, at the head of the table, in a restaurant, in a quiet corner. In any group, try not to talk over each other or carry on multiple conversations 8. Check in People with hearing loss may nod their heads as though they understand what you’ve said when, in fact, they did not. If you think your listener may not be following, ask if he or she understands and, if necessary, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences
Are You a Candidate for Chiropractic Care?
Fainting:
Do you want an alternative to surgery and drugs to manage back and neck pain?
• A thorough evaluation that may include X-rays, a physical, a chiropractic structural exam that pays particular attention to the spine and pelvis and perhaps a laboratory analysis of blood and urine samples. • A posture test designed
to check for abnormalities like a shoulder or hip that's higher than the other. • Gentle correction of any misalignments in the spine and pelvis through methods including manual and instrument adjustments. CHIROPRACTIC, See page 11B
How Serious Is It?
By Gwendolyn Harris Whether you call it passing out or having “a spell,” fainting is an unexpected scare that will happen to nearly one in three people at least once in their life. Although it’s common and people usually regain their consciousness quickly with no more damage than feeling a little disoriented and shaken up, fainting can be a sign of a more serious health condition. So, what causes a person to faint? When there’s a sudden drop in blood pressure – say from standing up too quickly after lying down, being dehydrated or taking certain medications (e.g., blood pressure, depression, allergies) – blood flow to the brain is decreased. This can trigger a loss of consciousness and muscle
Preventing Eye Problems After Weight-Loss Surgery
By Robert Preidt Weight-loss surgery patients who don’t take prescribed vitamin and mineral supplements could put themselves at risk for vision problems, a new study says. Digestive system changes caused by the surgery can reduce nutrient absorption from food, the researchers explain in the current issue of the journal Obesity Surgery. “There is a risk that bariatric surgery patients, who do not take the vitamin and mineral supplements prescribed to them, could develop eye-related complications because of nutrient deficiencies,” study co-author Rui Azevedo Guerreiro, of the Lisbon Hospital Central in Portugal, said in a journal news release. The study authors reviewed the available research and found that nutrient deficiencies after weight-loss surgery can lead to a wide range of eye conditions. They include night blindness, ulcers, scarring of and changes to the cornea, involuntary eye movement, paralysis of the eye muscles and dry eyes.
control, which causes the fall to the ground. Signs that you may be close to fainting include lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea and “blacking out” – loss of vision Fainting triggers Some people faint at the sight of blood, or from some type of emotional stress or trauma. This type of fainting is the most common and
is caused by a reaction in the brain, when the vagus nerve – the nerve that extends from the brain to the stomach – is overstimulated. The use of alcohol, narcotics and antistamines can also cause you to pass out. Low blood sugar may also trigger an episode. More serious, though less common, causes of fainting are problems with your heart that block the flow of blood and oxygen. What to do if you faint If you only had an isolated fainting incidence and are in pretty good health, there is little cause for concern. If you are having multiple fainting episodes, you should see your doctor or cardiologist to test if there’s an underlying medical condition. Treatment will depend on the doctor’s diagnosis.

Azealia Banks Disses Iggy Azalea
By Cavan Sieczkowski Azealia Banks took to Twitter to slam Iggy Azalea for staying quiet after a grand jury voted not to indict a New York City police officer in the death of an unarmed black man. A Staten Island grand jury decided to end the criminal case against Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who put local man Eric Garner into a chokehold during a July arrest, ultimately leading to Garner's death. After the grand jury announcement, protestors took to the streets of Manhattan to decry the decision, and others turned to social media to express their dismay. Banks used Twitter to call out Azalea for not discussing the subject. After tweeting "#EricGarner," the performer went on to say how she wants to help initiate change and how the media is partly to blame; then she took aim at the Australian rapper. Azalea responded later, saying she had been in re-

Julianne Malveaux “I can’t breathe,” gasped Eric Garner, again and again and again. “I can’t breathe,” he said as several police officers were on top of him, choking him, pushing his head onto the concrete sidewalk. The man was not resisting arrest; he simply had the temerity to ask a police officer not to touch him. And because he was allegedly selling loose cigarettes, the life was choked out of him. No one tried to help him or stop the vicious assault (ruled a homicide by the coroner). Emergency medical respondents offered no assistance. Eric Garner’s last words, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe” ought to motivate all Americans, not just African Americans, but Americans of conscience to breathe life and energy into a movement for justice. Breathing ought to be a simple thing. Air in, air out. It’s not so simple when one’s neck is being choked. Not so simple when one’s spirit is being choked. The image of Eric Garner’s neck in a chokehold, the image of at least four White police officers on top of him, is galling. All the more galling is the invisible choking of spirit that comes when people cannot breathe, cannot speak, and cannot re-
spond to injustice. In historical contexts, how many were as free to speak as Ida B. Wells was when she fought against lynching. Even in her freedom, Wells was threatened and run out of Tennessee, but many feared to speak about lynching fearing the fact that they might be lynched themselves. Can’t breathe. Think of the many African Americans who have served in our armed forces, treated unfairly, serving nonetheless, often silently. How can any of us breathe in an atmosphere of compounded injustice? How can we breathe in an atmosphere of hypocrisy, when justice has never been blind? We live in a nation where a 12-year-old boy, Tamir Rice, is shot because he has a toy pellet gun, not pointed at police. Hard to breathe when video makes it absolutely clear that it was not necessary for Daniel Panaleo to place Eric Garner in a chokehold. Hard to breathe when a grand jury comes to an incomprehensible decision, one that defies common sense. Difficult to breathe when an elected official, Congressman Peter King (R-NY), chooses to blame Eric Garner’s death on his health. “If he had not had asthma, and a heart condition, and was
so obese, almost definitely he would not have died from this,” King told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. King fails to note that use of the chokehold was banned by New York Police Department rules in 1993. Instead, there is no shame, no condolence in his insensitivity and ignorance. Can’t breathe. Whether he is svelte or obese, carrying a briefcase or a bag of skittles, wearing a Hermes suit or a hoodie, behaving respectfully or rudely, a Black man’s safety cannot be guaranteed, especially when a White police officer is involved. The mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and wives of these men hold their breath, cannot breathe, except to pray for the safety of their loved ones. Would the system be fairer if a White man walking down Park Avenue had the same fears? Would the protests look different if those who were massacred looked different? Can’t breathe. A metaphor for the African American condition, juggling the space between hopes and despair, between progress and regress. Who would have SYSTEM, See page 11B
attend. Witnesses are not cross-examined to gauge their veracity. Even evidence that might cast doubt on a person’s innocence is not required to be placed before the grand jury. The United States is one of the few nations that still use the grand jury system, which is rooted in British colonial law. But Britain discontinued the use of grand juries more than 80 years ago. Traditionally, the grand jury system has been used by the federal government and some states in capital murder cases or major felonies. In addition to protection against self-incrimination, the Fifth Amendment states, “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger…” For prosecutors, the grand jury serves as a rubber stamp. According to the Legal Times, “Justice Department statistics recently obtained by Legal Times, which reveal that 99.9 percent of the defendants called before federal grand juries are indicted, buttress the belief – and concern
– that prosecutors today almost always get what they want from a system originally set up to protect citizens from governmental overreaching.” It also found, “From fiscal years 1994 through 1998, federal prosecutors secured 122,879 indictments, according to DOJ records. During the same period, prosecutors failed to get indictments in only 83 cases.” The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled though a grand jury is the sole charging instrument for the federal government in serious cases, defined as imprisonment of more than a year, that requirement does not apply to states. In Hurado v. California, a case decided in 1884, the court ruled that states are not constitutionally obliged to use a grand jury to charge a person in a crime. Consequently, only 19 states require that all felonies be prosecuted through grand jury indictments, 23 reserve it for capital offenses and 30 make it optional, according to a study VICTIMS, See page 11B
Let’s Shut Down the Prisons
Marian Wright Edelman Health care was one of the few needs that occasionally took them out of their community, and the mixed-race clinics where Blacks were clearly treated as secondclass patients provided some of her most traumatic childhood experiences with segregation and racism. One of her strongest memories is of the public health facility where her family was required to get regular screenings for tuberculosis. Black patients always had to wait longer, and there was no privacy or separation for Black men and women asked to wait half-dressed in their segregated waiting room. She found this especially humiliating as a pre-teen and experiences like this helped spur her lifelong interest in the intersection of race and health and the inequitable treatment of members of some groups. They also helped her realize early on that she wanted to get out of the segregated South. Although she was a strong student and valedictorian of her class, she had no idea how she might be able to make it to college until her senior physics teacher took her under his wing. He brought her the paperwork to register for the SAT and achievement tests needed for college applications, and when she ex-
In Tom Wolfe’s bestselling The Bonfire of the Vanities, New York State Chief Judge Sol Wachtler famously said “a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich, if that’s what you wanted.” Given the recent failure of grand juries to indict Darren Wilson, a White police officer in Ferguson, Mo., for killing Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old African American, and a similar course followed by a New York City grand jury in connection with the choke-hold death of Eric Gardner in Staten Island, the criminal injustice system has essentially said Black lives are worth less than the value of a ham sandwich. At issue is a grand jury system in the United States that even Arnold Burns, deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration, called a “foolish anachronism.” Essentially, it is a onesided proceeding controlled by prosecutors that delivers indictments 99 percent of the time – unless an unarmed Black person is killed by a White police officer, as was the case in Ferguson and New York City. Unlike a trial, grand jury proceedings are secret. Attorneys for the victims are not allowed to
Beyond the Rhetoric:
Diversity Map Needed for America Sometimes childhood experiences motivate a lifetime of extraordinary work. That is certainly true for Georgetown University Law School professor and bioethicist Patricia King, a brilliant scholar and one of the most effective leaders you may not know. She’s spent 40 years at Georgetown Law School and has long been involved in higher education leadership. A graduate of Wheaton College in Massachusetts and Harvard Law School, she’s served on both institutions’ governing bodies as a member of the Harvard Corporation and the first woman, first African American, and first alumni to chair the Wheaton College Board of Trustees. Earlier this year, she gave the Faculty Convocation Address at Georgetown University and spoke movingly about her “life of learning,” explaining that her passions for education and health that have shaped her professional life—and her perspective—are rooted in her segregated childhood in Norfolk, Virginia in the 1940s and 1950s. She and her sister were raised by their single mother, and their world mostly revolved around the all-Black neighborhood where they lived in a public housing development.

plained she couldn’t afford the test fees — by then her mother was working three jobs just to keep the family afloat — he wrote a check and put her in contact with the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students, an organization that matched Black students with colleges willing to provide them financial aid. She was accepted to Wheaton, a small women’s liberal arts college in Massachusetts. Her trip to the quiet New England campus was her first time out of Virginia. Wheaton paved the way for her later success and was also the place where, she said, “I began to understand that real diversity can’t just be cosmetic. Real diversity is about affording all community members the respect and dignity they deserve.” She experienced being encouraged by an adviser to apply for a summer camp job where Black students were hired only as busboys or maids and being required to take train trips to visit Boston museums as part of an art history class — extra expenses not covered by financial aid or her own means.

How did we let it get so out of hand? The number of people we have incarcerated in this nation is totally mind boggling. We are supposed to be a democracy where people are protected by the rule of law. Our rule of law is definitely impaired to the point of being like a plague on humanity. Tyrants and dictators don’t enslave their people as much as we do. I believe it began when “getting tough on crooks” became a political aphrodisiac. If you research it, you will find that most get tough laws are implemented during election years. President Reagan’s “war on drugs” caused a giant leap in nonviolent criminals being locked up. The “Three Strikes” law in our most populated state, California, was like pouring gasoline on the fire. Congress and state legislatures throughout the land would start a movement known as “Overcriminalization.” It’s locking people up for some of the most petty of crimes. Rehabilitation and low recidivism rates became a lost art. “Lock’em up and throw away the key” started becoming more than just a saying. President Bill Clinton decided to shift gears and incarcerate at a turbo pace. He funded money to begin building more and more
federal prisons to harbor the mass of humanity going through the court system on their way to incarceration. Inspired by this, just about every governor and state legislature in the nation started to emulate the ways of D.C. by building new prisons all over our land. More construction, more designing, more guards and massive jobs through supporting what would become the prison industrial complex. Once established, this monster needed a constant flow of “fuel” (human beings incarcerated for long terms). Thus, more laws and regulations to lock human beings behind the walls of prisons. During this period, California has built 33 prison complexes while building just one university or college. This is madness! Yes, it was race related, too. Go downtown to your local criminal court and see what I am talking about. Like the great Richard Pryor would lament, “I went downtown for justice and that’s just what I saw – just us!” Go see for yourself. You will wonder where White criminals go for legal troubles. Most go free in comparison to Blacks and Hispanics. This is not the ideal America. If we are to remain a great nation, we must be a good nation. It is time to start review-
ing all of these laws and mandatory sentencing. We must begin to end them by the thousands. There are a lot of organizations recognizing this, but no real action is taking place. Let’s begin to start “peeling” away at this gigantic rotten “apple” that infects our families. I did a poll at our last annual conference and found that 80 percent of the conferees have or had relatives in our prison network. My brothers and sisters, we cannot take this anymore. A continuance of this sickly state will kill our civilization. So, let me start with “the man in the mirror.” I have committed our office to hire only ex-offenders during the next 10 years. We are encouraging our member companies to hire exoffenders in a very aggressive but prudent way. We must not stop until most of these prisons we have built become empty and then convert them to manufacturing facilities (jobs) and schools. Let us not forget what brought us to this state of horror. Pressure must be put on our elected officials. A steady means of employment is the best PRISONS, See page 11B

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY
NAACP From page 1A Pantaleo in the death Eric Garner. These rulings continually serve as a reminder in the African-American community that “Black lives do not matter.” The emotional trend of events of the killing of AfricanAmerican men continues to plague our community, from the lynching of colored men in the South to a new modern day form of lynching by death of our youth at the hands of police officers. Other laws such as “stand your ground” gives authority to the community at large to shoot and kill our young men, and claim under these laws “self-defense” as we have seen in the cases of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis. This type of legislation only erects virtual targets on the backs of our young men. On July 17th, we watched in horror the video of Eric Garner pleading for his life, yelling “I can’t breathe” as Daniel Pantaleo used an illegal chokehold on him. After Daniel Pantaleo took Garner’s life, he smiled and waved at the news cameras. As a nation, we were shocked and dismayed at how Daniel Pantaleo felt no remorse for what he had done. Yet, we still remained confident that justice would triumph. Sadly again in this case as we have seen in others, justice did not prevail. We are left wondering what we can do to protect our children, men and people. In the recent death of Tamir Rice, we again watched a surveillance camera that captured the last moments of this young man’s life as he played in the park with a toy gun. Failures of the legal system in the numerous cases we have witnessed further compound the belief in the African-American community that “Black lives do not matter.” Nevertheless, we still remain vigilant that someday as a nation, we will no longer live in fear and the law of land will equally apply to us. As the family of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Jr., Ezell Ford and Tamir Rice forever mourn their death, we as a nation will do the same. The grand jury’s decision does not mean a crime was not committed in Ferguson, Missouri, and in Staten Island, New York, and does not mean we are done fighting for Michael Brown, Jr., Eric Garner, Ezell Ford, Tamir Rice or the countless other men and women who have lost their lives to the hands of the men and women who have sworn to serve and protect us. The deaths of our young men are a distressing symptom of the untested and overaggressive policing culture that have become commonplace in African-American communities all across this country. The NAACP pledges to stand committed to the continual fight against racial profiling, police brutality and the militarization of local authorities. We will further remain steadfast in our fight to pass federal legislation to end racial profiling by bringing these issues to the forefront of our national consciousness. While we are discouraged, we will not be defeated. We will stand in solidarity with the protesters, urging for calm peaceful protests. Confident that while protests will take place, local authorities will honor these civil protestor’s rights. We will continue to march until our voices are heard and legislations are passed ending racial discriminatory laws and practices. The NAACP Ventura County Chapter released their end of the year activity summary report. The report outlined brief descriptions of discrimination cases filed with the local chapter. For a second year, Shiekh Shoes at the Pacific View Mall in Ventura has made the naughty list. The footwear and apparel retailer, whose corporate office is located in Ontario, California, operates over 150 stores located in California, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Chicago and Tennessee. The store sells brands such as Nike, Adidas, Reebok, K-Swiss, Sketchers, Lacoste, Converse, Creative Recreation, Supra and DC Shoes. In an affidavit filed with the EEOC Los Angeles District Office, a former employee described accounts of how she endured consistent racial remarks made by management about AfricanAmericans. Examples include: “Why do your people like to eat chicken? Do all black people belong to that group, the NAACP?” Management further insulted African-American customers by asking the former employee, “Why do your people shop here if they cannot afford it?” When the former employee would report to work, the manager would stop in front of her and sing, “Le Negara-Le Negara.” According the complaint, management would target African-American customers and instruct employees to watch them when they came in the store, stating he did not trust them. The employee further states in her complaint, that management would throw away resumes of African-American youth when they applied for open positions in the store, always maintaining at least one African-American employee at a time. In the wrongful termination case, Shiekhs Shoes submitted fraudulent documents to the courts as to the reason for termination.
FRIDAY
After the presidential election, Shiekhs Shoes intended to sell tee-shirts with a picture of President Barack Obama with the words, “Head N (word) in Charge.” Shiekhs Shoes is currently being sued for discriminatory practices. In a recent telephone conference regarding the pending lawsuit, Ryan Walker, Shiekhs Shoes’ legal counsel, stated “The right to sue letter does not mean anything. They give this letter to everyone.” Due to this behavior and attitude towards African-Americans, and blatant disregard of the Civil Rights Act and the EEO process, Shiekhs Shoes tops the list at number one on the NAACP Ventura County Chapter’s list of stores who discriminate. Mattress Warehouse, located at 650 East Wooley Road in Oxnard, sold a defective mattress to an elderly African-American couple. Within a week, the customer called to complain about the mattress leaning to one side. The owner and store management ignored and refused to take phone calls from the elderly couple. The couple requested help with the defective mattress since it was a safety issue. Due to management’s negligence and their disregard of consumers’ rights, they are number two on the list. Rounding the list at number three is Verizon Wireless, located at the intersection of Wooley Road and Saviers Road in Oxnard. While in the process of hiring a young African-American, the regional manager stated that due to the location and number of Hispanic customers, he preferred hiring only bilingual people. Verizon’s bilingual employment preferences are a discrimination policy used as an excuse to not hire African-Americans. While we understand that Verizon Wireless wishes to capitalize on the Hispanic population, they are not the only people who purchase Verizon Wireless phones and services. Verizon Wireless apparently does not value the Black dollar. In an article written by Nicole Kenney, NAACP Economic Program Specialist, she expresses concern over the death of sustainable Black owned businesses. African-American owned businesses are vastly underrepresented, accounting for less than 7% of all small owned businesses, even though we account for 13% of the population. African-Americans certainly have an entrepreneurial spirit as we are more likely to start a business relative to other racial groups. However, limited access to resources (e.g., capital, clientele, etc.), increase our businesses likelihood to close its doors. Research suggests that communities generational economic empowerment is linked to entrepreneurial success. Therefore, if we are serious about improving our communities, improving our schools and providing jobs, we must advance and strengthen African-American owned businesses. If the power of the “Black dollar” was equated to a country’s GDP, we would be the 16th largest country in the world! As African-American consumers, we have the economic power to leverage our economic power by way of supporting Black owned businesses to foster community economic development. Kenney states if we don’t support Black owned businesses, it becomes that much harder to demand anyone else to. NAACP Ventura County Chapter President John R. Hatcher, III, contends that African-American’s spend their hard earned money in local businesses, nonetheless our AfricanAmerican consumer is not valued. Economic reports show that Black buying power is projected to reach $1.1 trillion by next year in 2015. African-Americans are spending more than an equal share of money in this country, purchasing electronics, utilities, groceries and footwear. Businesses like Shiekhs Shoes primarily target the African-American consumer for economic gain and growth. Hatcher further stated that African-American consumers who continue to patronize and contribute to companies who support discriminatory practices will continue to be a purveyor to selfhatred of our race. This holiday season, the NAACP Ventura County Chapter challenges people of color to stop shopping at stores that discriminate against Blacks and minorities. Stop supporting companies who foster and support discriminatory practices. Know where you are spending your money. Support your local Black and minority owned businesses, by recycling Black dollars and reinvesting in African-American businesses and companies who value African-American dollars. Join us in protest and show the value of the Black dollar by NOT spending money there. Let Shiekhs Shoes, Mattress Warehouse, and Verizon Wireless who do not value African-American customers nor our dollars, know that our youth and our money do matter. IT IS TIME WE Know our Worth!

DECEMBER 19, 2014
Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts to determine its contents. The X-ray is scheduled for Sunday. Originally made of cowhide, the time capsule was believed to have been embedded in the cornerstone when construction on the state Capitol began in 1795. Adams was governor of Massachusetts at the time. The time capsule was removed in the mid-19th century and its contents transferred to a copper box, Galvin said. Its removal Thursday was due to an ongoing water filtration project at the building. Pamela Hatchfield, a conservator at the museum, slowly chiseled away at the cornerstone on Thursday to reach the box, a process that took several hours to complete. Galvin said the plan is to return it to the site sometime next year. The excavation came just months after another time capsule was uncovered from the Old State House, which served as the state’s first seat of government. That long-forgotten time capsule, dating to 1901, turned up in a lion statue atop the building and, when opened, was found to contain a potpourri of well-preserved items including newspaper clippings, a book on foreign policy and a letter from journalists of the period. CEREMONY From page 1A hopelessness, who just hang out in the park, to offer them love, fellowship, offer them Jesus Christ, and to minister to their needs; to feed them every week, which is a symbol of our love, and then with the additional opportunity to offer them health services.” Many student volunteers and university officials, including California State University Channel Islands President, Dr. Richard Rush, Nursing Program Chair, Dr. Karen Jensen, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Gayle Hutchinson, and Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Gregory Sawyer, gathered in the sanctuary on a bright fall morning to celebrate the opening of the health clinic with a ribbon cutting ceremony. It was a way of acknowledging the contributions of the many faculty and students from the university who helped turn a moldy dilapidated trailer into a health clinic operated in partnership with the nursing program at the university. The clinic will offer low to no charge vaccinations, health screenings, health education, blood pressure tests, and eventually physical examinations for children and adults. The clinic is named in tribute to Huggins’ mother, Frances, who in the late 1980s initiated a series of health clinics in Stockton. Describing her commitment, Huggins called his mother “a pioneer” who worked tirelessly to launch health care initiatives for people who lived in an impoverished section of South Stockton. She found a vacant storefront, solicited donations from local business people, and sought out doctors and nurses to help run the clinic. Acknowledging her vision, Huggins said that “finally the concept of free health clinics caught on at that point and today that same spirit of service and commitment has become a reality in our nation.” Huggins views the dedication of this clinic as a legacy to her hard work and sacrifice: “To be in a position now almost fifty years later to carry on that legacy, to be in a position to facilitate meeting the needs of people who don’t have healthcare and can’t afford or who may not even be qualified to be entered into the system to get some kind of assistance means everything to me.” Andrea Ives, a senior nursing student at the university, was one of the chief coordinators for the student volunteers who helped remodel the trailer. For Ives, her primary motivation for being involved was being able to give something back to her home community. “I truly loved the aspect of giving back to a community,” she said. “I actually grew up here. I went to high school and I was there. I had a lot of needs as a child and as an adult and it’s such a wonderful community to give back to and I knew that the vision and the mission of this clinic really closely aligned with the nursing program and the nursing students there.” But the heart and soul of the work, openly acknowledged by Huggins and gathered faculty and students, belonged to Dr. LaSonya Davis-Smith, assistant professor of nursing at Cal State Channel Islands. Davis-Smith, a native of Virginia, moved to Oxnard in the 6th grade and graduated from Oxnard College in 1992. She received a B.A. in nursing from Fresno State in 1995 and began her career as an OB and public health nurse. Eventually she received her Nurse Practitioner license in 2002, her Masters in Nursing from Fresno State in 2004, and her doctorate from Western University in 2013. Davis-Smith was hired as a lecturer at Cal State Channel Islands in 2012 and became tenured in 2013. For Davis-Smith, operating a community health clinic has been a longtime dream of hers.
Coordinating with Bishop Huggins, Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Gregory Sawyer, and nursing program chair, Dr. Karen Jensen, Davis-Smith worked tirelessly to inspire her faculty and nursing students to turn an old trailer into a viable health clinic. She sees her role as someone who was in the right place at the right time. “The connection is that one, I ended up being a member of a church where the pastor had a similar vision,” she explained, “and two, I ended up at a university where one of the mission pillars involves service to the community and also emphasizes experiential and service learning.” She emphasized that the clinic has a specific role to play in the community. “Currently we are not a treatment center,” she said. “Our focus is on health screening, health education, and prevention, but if someone comes to us with a health problem, we are going to refer them to available resources in the community, including sources from Covered California and Medi-Cal.” She feels the clinic has an important role to play in the area where it is located. “We’re in the midst of the people who need us,” she noted. “It’s the location and the accessibility. Despite other services that may be available in Oxnard, people are still going to be underserved in this particular community and every resource that’s available in this community counts. We’re just trying to do our part.” PROTEST From page 2A help care for her grandchild, but extended her visit to attend the march. The grandmother of seven recalled marching with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at 11 years old, and attending allWhite schools until enrolling at Spelman College in Atlanta. “I’ve been doing this for three generations. I have to be here to document for my grandchildren, so they know I was here,” she says. “It’s important that everybody sees – not just America, but the whole world should see that we have not made all the progress and accomplished all that we thought we did. More and more eyes are opening. We’re still fighting for the same things we were fighting for in the ‘60s.” Washington D.C. residents Albert and Andrea Elliott brought their 12-year-old grandson, Jeremiah, to use the march as a teachable moment. “I brought my grandson to his first march so he understands that what he is doing is right. We’re teaching him solidarity… and that he can speak up and be nonviolent without being afraid,” she says. “We as a people have to stick together and be more involved…. We have to go to the source, where the laws are made, to put our foot on their necks.” As they planned their attendance, Jeremiah asked about previous civil rights demonstrations, police violence, and tear gas. “It’s not fair to kill Black people because you have the power and authority to do stuff like this that we can’t,” he says of his personal reasons for attending. “I don’t think it’s fair to kill Black people for no reason.” University of Maryland students and Divine Nine fraternity members Marcus Davis, Justin Ferguson, and Akiel Pyant carried a “Black Lives Matter” banner. “I’m here because I’m concerned about the future. If our grandparents went through this, and we’re going through this, Lord only knows what my grandchildren will go through,” says Davis, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. The light police presence blocked traffic and generally stayed out of the way as the loud but peaceful processional traveled six blocks to the main stage at the foot of the Capitol’s front lawn. Both national and international media were present, as well as union organizations, Black Greek letter organizations, civic and grassroots organizations, student groups, and families. Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’ and ‘What’s Happening Brother’ met the marchers as they arrived at the main stage, where media trucks, government Suburbans, and a stilted press box overflowing with photographers flanked the crowds. With the Capitol as a backdrop, the main stage featured a lineup of speakers including Representative Al Green (DTexas), Newark, N.J. Mayor, Ras Baraka, Howard University Student Association President, Leighton Watson, and more. Activist and radio host, Joe “The Black Eagle” Madison served as master of ceremonies. The lineup also featured the unexpected addition of a young contingent of Ferguson, Mo. protesters. At the gathering point before the march, where a different set of speakers addressed the crowd, about 15 members of the ad-hoc D.C. Ferguson group occupied the stage area, using chants and bullhorns to call attention to the fact that Ferguson protesters had not been invited as partners. The group has been demonstrating since August, and was responsible for shutting down I-395 in protest last month.
Two DC Ferguson members and one Ferguson native and protester bypassed security and took to the stage. Security attempted to remove them without force. As the NAN speaker at the podium tried to speak over the commotion with calls for “respect for one another” and unity, Erika Totten, one of the D.C. Ferguson members onstage, used a bullhorn to say, “They have been out there for more than 100 days.” After several minutes of heated exchange onstage between the contingent and several National Action Network organizers, the organizers allowed Totten to speak at the podium. She spoke very briefly then passed the microphone to St. Louis native and Ferguson protester, Johnetta Elzie. “I’ve been in Ferguson for 127 days. I got shot one time with a rubber bullet standing on my neighborhood street. I’ve been tear gassed nine times in a neighborhood where I pay taxes, because I decided to exercise my First Amendment rights and go protest for the death of Mike Brown,” Elzie said. “This movement was started by the young people. We started this. It should be young people all over this stage.” Afterward, an NAN representative approached the group and spoke to Totten about building an alliance. At the main stage after the march, Rep. Green, Madison, and Sharpton addressed the discord between youth and grassroots actions, and those organized by civil rights leaders. “We who are a little older, a little grayer, are proud of the young people speaking out,” said Madison, referring to youth protesters as young John Lewises and Fanie Lou Hamer, two civil rights legends. Green echoed similar statements, adding that elders were not here to lead, but to “get out of the way.” Sharpton added, “We don’t all agree with each other. We don’t all have the same tactics. But we all have the same goal, and that is equal protection under the law. This is not a Black march, or a White march…it is an American march for the rights of all American people.” The Washington march was also the only one attended by the families of well-known unarmed Black male victims: Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Akai Gurley, Tamir Rice, John Crawford III, Lavar Jones, Cory Ball Jr., Trayvon Martin, and Amadou Diallo. All of the families were given time to speak. “We’ve been here so many times. I know in 2000, when the four White officers were acquitted of killing my son, of all charges, I thought the world was ending,” said Kadiatou Diallo. Her unarmed son Amadou Diallo was shot 41 times by four New York Police Department officers in 1999. “…We said stop police brutality then. And today, 16 years later, we’re here demanding the same thing.” After the march, traffic slowly reopened and the crowd mingled, making connections, walking back to chartered buses, and taking photos. Waiting for police to allow buses through, Washington resident Hassan Furtick encouraged his son to record the passing demonstrators and thank them. “I don’t like [police shootings]. That could be mine. There’s no justice for us, but if it was one of theirs, there would be justice,” he said. He hadn’t talked to his son about the shootings, but ideas were already forming. “People feel unsafe and not comfortable going outside. When there is an emergency you’re supposed to call 911. There’s no reason for people to have to feel unsafe,” says 11-year-old Hassan Furtick Jr. “Black people should not be living like this. People say Black people are not going to make it in life, and bad things will always happen to us, but we try to make it work. And we will keep trying.” VCTC From page 2A John Zaragoza, County Supervisor for the Oxnard area, thinks that commuters in Oxnard will greatly benefit from the new buses. “This bus not only helps Ventura and Santa Barbara County, but also helps the residents of Oxnard, because we have quite a few employees that work in Santa Barbara,” he said. “It’s going to help our residents who commute to Santa Barbara County to reduce that traffic which really impacts our highways.” Zaragoza adds that it also provides service for Oxnard residents who commute over to Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, and out to the Santa Clarita Valley. His hope is that the buses will serve a dual purpose—to reduce traffic congestion and to provide a more environmentally friendly way to get to work. As he summed it up: “We hope to get as many people off the road and onto buses as possible and to reduce our carbon footprint here in the county.” MONTEREY See page 3A in the subject line—including this one. The memo, written in July to Teri Wissler Adam, a contract planner with Seaside, and Lisa Brinton, Seaside’s community
and economic development services manager, seeks to answer four questions about the Monterey Downs water supply assessment—basically, how much water do they need, really, for all them horses and all them homes? One of the questions asked by the city: Must the city include a specific water demand in the Monterey Downs EIR, or can the EIR refer to a range of anticipated water demands based on competing numbers? The surprisingly measured answer from the attorneys: “The EIR must adequately address the environmental consequences of providing a long-term water supply for the proposed development. Practically speaking, this requires the EIR to include an accurate representation of the project’s projected water demand.” In other words, it ain’t a solid EIR without a solid number. “We recommend selecting the most conservative methodology to avoid underestimating water demand and the environmental impacts of providing water to the project,” the attorneys write. Squid’s favorite question, though, is No. 4: How should the city address future allocations of its remaining available water supply? The answer: Uh, what remaining available water supply? “The EIR acknowledges that the project does not have sufficient water supplies to serve all phases of the development. The EIR should include a statement that the project has a potentially significant impact on water supplies without mitigation,” the memo states. In other words: Seaside doesn’t have the water for Downs, and it’ll take some serious water magic to come up with it. According to the memo, the Monterey Downs draft EIR (which is 14 months late and counting, although the city swears it’s coming soon) states 539 acre-feet per year of groundwater is available to serve Downs—but the attorneys warn that any uncertainty over that number has to be disclosed. The EIR also “fails to explain” to what extent saltwater intrusion makes that number uncertain, the memo states. And the pièce de résistance of this memo? The EIR identifies a recycled water system and a desalination plant as potential sources of water to meet the projected supply shortfall. “But with respect to both facilities,” the memo explains, “it is not clear how much water supply is reasonably expected to be available to the project from each source, what the uncertainties are, or whether there are any contingencies if those facilities do not materialize.” Squid shot an email Monday morning to the memo’s attorney authors—Kevin Ennis, Serita Young and Amanda Stein—to give them a heads up it had been released. Young writes back, “We are researching the disclosure of the privileged memorandum and will respond to you later today.” And just about an hour later she writes this: “We request that you not make the privileged document available to the public, or publish your article this afternoon regarding the document, in order for our office to research the specific document that was released to Keep Fort Ord Wild, the confidentiality of that document and the circumstances behind its release. We can provide you with comments as soon as we have concluded our review of the circumstances.” It’s raining again. Squid figures the Monterey Downs EIR is likely to be all wet along with the rest of us. WORD-FINDS, From page 5A

Why is Christmas The World’s Most Celebrated Holiday?

“Christmas, a day of joy and wonder that revolves around an icon with a hefty sack of goods. Why is it we all share a common tradition of getting together with our family, and exchange gifts with one another? The answer in short is that we collectively, over the years have accepted and cherished this holiday due to our greed and our obligation as kids. From the first moment we see a gift under our tree, we need yet another the following year. From the first moment our kids have a Christmas, we are sincerely obligated to do unto our kids as our parents did with us. This societal pressure over the years has caused Christmas to devolve and turn into what we always feared it would be.”
“Christmas is important to all the world young and old. We celebrate Christmas mainly because of the birth of Christ Jesus. So, Christmas is not about shopping, it’s about Jesus.”
“Christmas is the world’s most celebrated holiday because the top one percent uses a religious doctrine to commit annual robbery.”
“To celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
“Because it’s Jesus Birthday”
“For me, Christmas is the most beautiful day to celebrate when God was born. This is the time when we have to give more love to the people that don’t have houses to live in, or food to eat. This is the time where you got to remember that God is alive.”

Memphis stars Brandon Michael Fleming and Lakeisha Renee Houston with Harry and Maureen Selvin and Artistic Director Lewis Wilkenfeld
Thousand Oaks, CA -- Memphis stars Lakeisha Renee Houston and Brandon Fleming are recipients of the first Selvin Charitable Foundation Scholarship. Harry and Maureen Selvin, longtime patrons of the arts and supporters of Cabrillo Music Theatre, have developed this scholarship, to be
presented on the final performance of each Cabrillo Music Theatre production, to the performer in that Cabrillo show that best exemplifies the spirit of Cabrillo Music Theatre. At the November 23rd performance of Memphis, Houston and Fleming each receive a $500 cash scholarship, a personal
trophy, and name recognition on a permanent plaque of all those recognized, to reside in the Cabrillo Music Theatre office. The brainchild of philanthropists Harry and Maureen Selvin, the idea of the Selvin Charitable Foundation Scholarship came SELVIN, See page 11B
By Andrea Estrada Holiday cheer and yuletide spirit were present in equal measure when UC Santa Barbara Regent Hadi Makarechian and his wife, Barbara, hosted the third annual Guardian Scholars Holiday Party at the Montecito Country Club. The event, which has become a holiday tradition, brings together members of the Santa Barbara community with UCSB’s Guardian Scholars, students who have aged out of the foster care system and are, quite literally, on their own. The Guardian Scholars program serves as a network of resources — academic, financial, emotional or otherwise — that enable the students to better navigate the uni-
versity system in the absence of parents or guardians who typically provide guidance and support. The program also gives them a sense of family and of shared experiences. For Andre Taylor, a third year theater major who entered the foster care system when he was just a year old, Guardian Scholars represents a place where he can be himself, “surrounded by people who have the same stories I did.” “The program makes it so much easier to be a student at the university because you have these people who have similar stories to yours and empathize and do want to help and want you to become something,” Taylor said.
“As foster children, most of us are told that we won’t become anything as we’re growing up because people don’t love us. So to have a family structure finally is what makes the Guardian Scholars program the greatest program of all time.” And the holiday party? “I love it,” Taylor exclaimed. “I love it because we get to meet people we never thought we were going to meet in our lives and to make the kinds of connections that can last a lifetime. And that’s one of the most powerful things — meeting people and interacting and knowing these people are here because they want to be, and they want to help us. YEAR, See page 11B

TWO THEATRES,
one amazing evening
Ventura Improv Company
and Rubicon team up for a
night of improv, fundraising and fun
Ventura Improv Company
Ventura, CA -- Ventura Improv Company's beloved annual tradition, its New Year's Eve Gala and Fundraiser, will be held at the Rubicon Theatre on Wednesday, December 31. The Ventura Improv Company (VIC) held their spectacular and sold-out 25th Birthday Show at the Rubicon last summer, so they're doing it again. The gala will include a comedy improv show, the world-famous Taco Truck,
snacks, desserts, sparkling wine, soft drinks, and beer - not to mention a raffle and door prizes to help bring in additional income to the VIC, a non-profit. "The Rubicon was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th year," says Gary Best, Artistic Director of the VIC. "We couldn't wait to come back and ring in the new year there." The Rubicon is located at 1006 East Main Street at Laurel in Ventura. The
event's growing popularity will be well-suited to the
spaciousness of the Rubicon. Many local individuals and companies donated their goods, gifts and services for this important fundraising effort for the VIC. The cost of the event is $50 per person; $40 for military and for seniors 55+; and $25 for ages 15 and under. The event runs from 7-10:30pm, so that guest may ring in 2015 elsewhere -- or beat the crowds home. "This is a great way to kick off our next 25 years," says Best. "We can't do it without our friends, fans, community, and collaborators." More information and online ticket purchase: www. venturaimprov.com/newyears.

The Sound Effect band prides themselves in their trueness to live music. All instruments are played live and they never use pre-recorded background tracks at any live performances. This gives them the ability to change the feel of songs as they feel the need to which in turn keeps them fresh and energetic on stage. The fact that the core 4 members of the group have been together for over 11 years makes this possible. Having performed together for so many years also gives them the tightness that distinguishes them from any other group. Besides their unmistakeable talent, they enjoy themselves on stage so much that the feeling is contagious. Their fans become more like family and the vibe they give off becomes their own.
Community Center, 1605 E. Burnley St., in Camarillo Join us every Wednesday, from 3 p.m. till 6 p.m.

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

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pur-
suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.

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. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (800) 280-2832 Publish: 12/19/2014, 12/26/2014, 1/2/2015 TCS140446TS(1) APN: 071-0-094-180 T.S.

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 California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-7302727 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp. com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 12-20787-SP-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.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should
be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14627533-AB . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 or visit this Internet Web Site www. priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS# 1035004804. 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. WE ARE ASSISTING THE BENEFICIARY TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL

Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA 93003 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be:4886 SANTO DR OAK PARK, CA 91377 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 held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $528,061.81 If the

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.PRIORITYPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 009720-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by JOPLIN TOLLIVER in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that JOPLIN TOLLIVER 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 on Date: January 21, 2015 at Time: 9 AM in Room: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Ave, Oxnard, CA 93036, Probate. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court.

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.

JACKSON From page 6A in my Senate district, are once again leading the way and are among the top 25 most gender diverse large public companies in California. I urge more California companies to give women a seat at the table and to make gender diversity a top priority.” SCR 62, authored by Jackson and passed by the Legislature last year, encourages publicly held companies with corporate boards of nine or more to fill at least three of those seats with women within the next three years; for boards with five to eight seats to have a minimum of two women on its board; and boards with fewer than five director seats to have at least one woman on its board. The resolution, believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, while encouraging these goals, is non-binding. PENN From page 7A even when confronted by hate language posted anonymously to social media sites -- with a thoughtful and peaceful process that demonstrated their concerns. My sole purpose was to show my support and solidarity for the students involved.” Barron’s reference to social media was speaking to the various racist messages posted on Yik Yak as Penn State students protested. GIULIANI From page 7A are paid for performance, for fighting charter schools, for fighting vouchers so that we can drastically and dramatically improve education,” he said. Giuliani also argued in the interview that high crime rates among blacks were a main driver of police brutality. “Liberal guilty whites have to stop refusing to say the bigger part of the problem here is black crime and not police overreaction. A small part of the problem is police overreaction. It is driven by the incredibly large rate -- disproportionate rates of crime in the black community,” he said. NAME From page 8A here forever. There is no end to his reign. He is the creator of life, the elevator of life, the motivator of life and the terminator of life. This means He knows when your last day on this earth is. He wants you to be in eternity with Him and He invites us to be with Him. 5. Prince of Peace. This means if you want peace in your
life. You need him because he’s the Prince where peace comes from. I meet people all over the place who tell me how shattered their life is, how worried they are, and how uncertain they are about the future. They are desperately searching for peace. I often say to them, when you yield your life to God’s plans you automatically receive God’s peace. Let this Christmas be the year you receive peace in your heart. REST in Christ’s healing at work in the midst of your circumstances. God doesn’t promise an easy escape from your problems—He offers himself. He is our peace and he is our strength.

Not all holiday memories are filled with sparkle and light. Holiday traditions can trigger negative thoughts and emotions of the past. These triggers can cause us to act out in old behaviors or feel depressed or angry.

You don’t have to only give material things, but you can give your time, your ear, your shoulder and your presence. Those things can be worth more than money itself. Why put extra stress on ourselves when this should be a time filled with joy, peace and love? Although this is a time of celebration for many, there are people who are very down during this time of the year. Think about those who are alone for the holidays. Some people drown in sorrow and grief on days like this; they have lost loved ones, live far away from family or are reminded of broken relationships during this time of the year. There are also those who are less fortunate, and they are reminded of what they lack during the holidays so it is an unpleasant time for them. And then there are those who simply do not like holidays for their own personal reasons and they automatically become grumpy grinches and have Scrooge-like attitudes. All of these people can use a little extra love at Christmastime. Be a little more sensitive to the needs of others. Have a little extra patience and keep your Christmas cheer. JFK said, “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Giving contributes to someone else and is one way that you can help make the world a better place. JFK’s quote always makes me think about being a giver instead of a taker. To give means to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation (www. dictionary.com). People who always want to be on the receiving end and refuse to contribute to others are takers. Kudos to those who think beyond themselves at this time of the year! There are many people who do extra volunteering and/or give a little more financially during this time of the year. They are blessed to have something to give and choose to make it go farther by spreading the love. They understand the rewards that come with giving. Wouldn’t it bring you joy to know that you gave of yourself and brought someone else some joy? There are internal rewards that come from giving to others. Giving goes farther than you. It also lasts longer than material things. This Christmas season, let’s make it a point to think beyond ourselves. Don’t wait until this season or for one special day to come around to give to others. Choose to wear a spirit of giving all year long. Thinking beyond yourself will not only bless the life of another, but it will give you a sense of joy that you will not be able to get from anything else. It truly is better to give than to receive.

SYSTEM From page 11A thought police violence against African American men would so visibly escalate at a time when our nation’s leader is an African American man. Can President Obama breathe, or is he in a figurative chokehold when he parses words about the murders of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and little Tamir Rice? Our president faced protest when he criticized James Crowley, the police officer who arrested Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on his own front steps in 2009. Now, he offers measured words in response to the outrageousness of grand jury failure to indict. Attorney General Eric H. Holder has been somewhat less measured in his comments. The day after the Staten Island grand jury exonerated Daniel Panaleo for his murder of Eric Garner, Attorney General Holder announced Department of Justice findings of excessive force by the Cleveland police. Perhaps the Cleveland consent decree will be a first step toward cleaning up excessive police action around the country. Eric Garner did not have to die. He did not have to stop breathing. Did his last breath bring life to a movement, or did he gasp that last breath in vain? Julianne Malveaux is an author and economist based in Washington, D.C. VICTIMS From page 11A by Gerald D. Robin, a professor emeritus at the University of New Haven in Connecticut. Just as Britain did, it is time to abolish the grand jury system. At the state level, we have demonstrated that’s not the only way to initiate criminal charges. This should be an ideal issue around which liberals concerned about civil liberties and conservatives concerned about an overreaching federal government should be able to coalesce around. The procedure is fundamentally flawed. Short of total abolishment, there should be major changes made to the way grand juries operate. In 1997, California Gov. Pete Wilson, a conservative, signed into law a bill requiring prosecutors to inform grand juries of any evidence that could be considered exculpatory or likely to prove the innocence of the accused. Several states have allowed a witness’ lawyer to accompany a client into grand jury proceedings and provide counsel before a witness answers a question. Reforming the grand jury system will have a greater influence on developing a fair criminal justice system than requiring police officers to wear body cameras. Because if those serving as grand jurors refuse to believe their eyes, as they did in the case of Eric Gardner, all the body cameras in the world won’t help. And the problem may be worse than we think. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that hundreds of police killings went unreported from 2007 and 2012.. It said, “A Wall Street Journal analysis of the latest data from 105 of the country’s largest police agencies found more than 550 police killings during those years were missing from the national tally or, in a few dozen cases, not attributed to the agency involved. As a result: It is nearly impossible to determine how many people are killed by the police each year.” Reforming the grand jury system will make it easier to prosecute cops who kill unarmed people who pose no threat to their safety.

How to Boost Your Cell Phone's Signal for Safer Winter Travel (NewsUSA) - It's the bane of every cell phone user -- conversations that become garbled and calls that drop. These "dead zones," usually happen while you're on the road, and can be frustrating at best, while making you feel exposed and defenseless at worst. However, they also present a critical safety issue when driving during the winter. As winter weather wreaks havoc on roads (never mind cell phone coverage), it becomes more important than ever to stay connected to family and friends -- whether it's to let them know you're running late, stuck in traffic or in an emergency situation. That's why zBoost, a Georgia-based company that develops and manufactures cell phone signal boosters, is helping people stay connected no matter where they are, while giving winter travelers a sense of safety and security. "As a realtor in snowy Ohio, I am on the road showing homes or visiting family, and I'm dependent on my mobile phone to stay connected," said Lisa Van Doting. "Before adding my zBoost Mobile1 cell phone signal booster, I was frequently in areas with no cell service, which left me disconnected and vulnerGeorge E.

At Harvard Law School, all of the “micro aggressions” she’d felt in college because of race and class were compounded even more as one of the small minority of women law students. She explained, “Being marginalized in multiple ways was unbelievably hard. Years after I graduated from Harvard, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, another Harvard Law grad, wrote a brilliant article which put a name —intersectionality— on the problem that I experienced. In her article, Crenshaw explains that ‘the intersectional experience may be greater than the sum of racism and sexism.’ Each of us enjoys a mix of privileges and burdens that overlay in complex ways. This truth simply highlights the dedication and nuance with which institutions have to engage with real, deep diversity in order to change.” Now Patricia King is in positions where she is able to help institutions engage with diversity and make those changes happen. She says that “it takes a lot of effort to understand and appreciate the different perspectives of others,” and ignoring some perspectives is a mistake — especially because “marginalized” people often see the world radically differently than people in power and as a result have new and valuable points of view. “Too often diversity is understood as something that serves only people of color. While access certainly does that, it should do so much more.” She continued, “Greater appreciation of the complexity and splendor of human achievement and experience is important for us all.” Marian Wright Edelman is president of the Children’s Defense Fund whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

Not only are civil rights organizations actively concerned about this dire situation but conservative groups and think tanks such as the Koch Brothers companies, The Heritage Foundation, The Cato Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, etc. Republicans and Democrats are now on the same page. As you read this, our Senate and House of Representatives are starting to draft samples of legislation. The House is farther down the road. Coming from the House Judiciary Committee are three champions: Bobby Scott (D-Va.), James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) and Jason Chaffetz (RUtah). A staffer for the committee tells me that a bi-partisan bill will be ready for the president to sign by the end of 2015. Let’s hope for no “hiccups”.
Don't get stranded on the side of the road without a cell phone signal this winter. able in emergency situations." The way it works is the zBoost Mobile1 is set up in the interior of any car or truck, and a mobile phone is placed in a sturdy, lightweight cradle (much like cell phones of old). The cradle amplifier connects to the dash-mount bracket and also connects to the vehicle's 12V power through a power adaptor via a USB cable. The magnetic antenna is mounted on the exterior of the car, which captures the signal outside of the car, brings it in through a narrow cable and
amplifies it on the inside for a stronger signal, extending the in-vehicle cell zone (the phone must be in the cradle). The unit also boosts voice and text for all major cell carriers. In addition to reducing dropped calls and combatting dead zones, it also extends the battery life of the phone, includes a hands-free option, and most important, extends your cell phone's range.
