Earth Day Jazz Festival in the City of Inglewood By Ricky Richardson Inglewood- It was another beautiful day in the City of Inglewood on Saturday, April 15, 2017. This was the perfect ambiance for the 7th Annual Earth Day Festival. The City of Inglewood and the Social Justice Learning Institute partnered once again to present this stellar event. The festival was held from 10:00am5pm, in the South Plaza at Inglewood City Hall, 1 Manchester Blvd. The festival has grown tremendously from previous years. Several thousand residents and visitors came together for “a party with a purpose.” This year’s theme was “Renew the Cool.” This year’s event featured interactive displays and information about how to conserve water, create a healthier environment and reduce our carbon footprint. West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) Division II Director Gloria D. Gray participated in a Ribbon cutting ceremony with Inglewood City officials and community partners to unveil the 15th of 16 planned Ocean Friendly Gardens. The Ocean Friendly Landscape Program is part of West Basin’s overall Water Reliability Program to reduce dependence on imported water, increase conservation and develop drought-proof local water supplies. The 2017 Earth Day Jazz Festival featured fabulous food, fantastic family fun and world class live entertainment.
support.” Supervisor Mark RidleyThomas cited a number of mentors and personal heroes in attendance, including Robert K. Ross, MD, President and CEO of The California Endowment, and Co-Honoree Wilbert Jordan, MD, as well as the leadership of Martin Luther King Community Hospital (MLKCH), who partnered with L.A. County on the rebirth of that facility. “This University is a special place,” said the Supervisor. “Dr. Carlisle has provided leadership and stability in moving us into the 21st Century. We all have a reason to be proud. CDU’s collaboration with Martin Luther King
Community Hospital is growing, and the whole County of Los Angeles is going to be better for it.” Dr. Jordan credited community churches for his success in extending the lives of his AIDS patients. “I think in LA we are further ahead than most cities in terms of getting churches to participants,” he said. “We have churches bringing food to our clinic every day. For some, it is the only meal they get all day. It also allows the patients to realize that there are people in the community who do care. And it has made a big difference.” Proceeds from the event will benefit Student Services, which provides scholarships and support, as well as CDU community pipeline programs, including the renowned Saturday Science Academy II, which encourages South Los Angeles students to excel in math, science and technology. The evening also featured a spirited performance by legendary jazz singer Barbara Morrison. Returning as mistress of ceremonies for the fifth straight year was veteran NBC4 general assignment reporter Toni Guinyard. Presenting sponsor of the event was Dignity Health. Oher sponsors included: Gold: Office L.A. County Supervisor Mark RidleyThomas, Kaiser Permanente, and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Silver: The California Endowment, CBS Corporation, AECOM, and Comerica Bank. Media sponsors: the Los Angeles Sentinel and PACE News. Table Sponsors: Dr. David M. Carlisle, Dr. and Mrs. Norman C. Cottman, Jr., Bebe Drew Price, Dr. Steve O. Michael, Cedars Sinai, RFP Insurance Agency, Inc., Dr. Margaret Avila, and AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

By Manny Otiko California Black Media SACRAMENTO— Last week, the California legislature voted to approve a $52 billion transportation bill that will go towards road repair and maintenance. Funding will come from increases in gas and diesel sales and excise taxes, an annual car fee, based on the cost of the car, and a Zero Emissions Car fee. However, SB 1, which was co-sponsored by Sen. Jim Beall (D-San Jose,) seems to have flipped the political spectrum. Some Republicans, who opposed the bill, were concerned it was going to negatively impact working families, who often have long commutes. Temecula Republican Sen. Jeff Stone argued against the bill. Stone, a successful pharmacist, said the bill wouldn’t affect many of the people in the legislature who made six-figure salaries.
Sen. Jeff Stone But it would affect people who make about $40,000 per year and travel 140 miles a day going to-and-from work. “This tax is aimed at the poor,” said Stone, “who are already spending 14 percent of their take-home pay on gas.” Please see Gas, page 3

EDITORIAL/OPINION/COMMENTARY Publisher’s Column
Dr. Gloria Zuurveen Founder /Owner/ Publisher Photo by Christopher Bordeaux
Hello Readers,
Praise God! What a time, what a time I had over the Easter weekend. I enjoyed the fellowship immensely at Park Windsor Baptist Church with the Pastor Terrell Taylor. He spoke a dynamite message about the Resurrection and the fact that Jesus got up out of the grave and we too can do the same. It was a message of hope. It was a blessing to be in the atmosphere of renewal and revival. That is the message of Easter. The life of the Risen Savior. He has Risen. He is not dead. Why are you looking for Him among the dead when He has Risen for you and for me. Today, we are given the same refreshing moment to reflect on the life we have in Christ. For us who have it is a blessing and a privilege to be able to call on that Great name Jesus, the Christ, the Anointed One who cared enough to become my substitute and replacement for my sins and yours. That’s Love!

Ringing the Alarm in Congress: 20 Million Lives at Risk Due to Famine By Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) Opinion Contributor Last week we watched as President Trump did an about-face on his “American First” agenda by pursuing a military response after being moved by photos of Syrian children killed by a sarin gas attack. Now, his isolationist rhetoric is facing another major test of leadership as four nations are experiencing or on the brink of famine in what the United Nations has called “the worst humanitarian crisis in the world since the UN’s formation in 1945.” The question now becomes whether pictures of starving mothers who are too weak to nurse their starving children will move him to take decisive action and provide emergency humanitarian assistance. The United Nations reports that 20 million people are at risk of starvation. A civil war has led to a declaration of famine in the world’s newest nation, South Sudan, while three others--Nigeria, Somalia and Yemen--are at risk of famine; two of which, Nigeria and Yemen, are also facing famine due to ongoing conflicts. In each country, funding remains dangerously short of what is needed to mitigate disaster. This president has an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to bring people together by immediately acting on an issue with growing bipartisan and bicameral support in Congress. Republicans and Democrats are proposing supplemental funding to address famine in South Sudan and to prevent famine in Somalia, Nigeria and Yemen. President Trump should signal to the world that the U.S. will respond and voice his support for a supplemental funding bill to address this crisis. The United States has long played a leadership role when vulnerable nations have experienced manmade or natural disasters. In 2003, President Bush launched the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) that saved millions of lives in Africa and around the world. President Obama mobilized the international community to respond to the Ebola crisis. Now, President Trump has the opportunity to step out on the world stage and declare that the United States will continue to play a leadership role in the face of this humanitarian crisis. If President Trump is not moved by the sheer scale of human suffering, and the daily starvation deaths of children then perhaps the national security threat and international refugee crisis will move the administration to act.
Conflict with Boko Haram is the primary cause for nearfamine conditions in northeast Nigeria. In 2015, the terrorist cell was responsible for more death than ISIS. The ongoing civil wars in Yemen and South Sudan pose a risk of destabilizing the surrounding countries. Although conditions in Somalia are far better today than during the famine crisis of 2011, Al Shabaab continues to terrorize the population. All four countries will be more vulnerable to the influence of terrorists if the world fails to immediately respond to the severe humanitarian crisis. Starving people will do whatever they need to do in order to survive and if the international community does not respond to this crisis, there is every reason to expect an increase in the mass migrations to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea. When Congress returns, we will debate how to continue funding the U.S. government. Instead of making polarizing demands for funding the wall or defunding the Affordable Care Act, President Trump has the opportunity to support lifesaving supplemental funding that is being proposed on a bipartisan basis. In the House, legislation calling on the US government to act immediately moved out of committee with a unanimous vote and is now awaiting a vote on final passage. Last week, Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) sent a letter to appropriators calling for $1 billion in emergency assistance and Sens. Todd Young (RInd.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) recently introduced a resolution calling on Congress to act swiftly to address the famine in the four countries. Thus far, the potential starvation of 20 million people has not grabbed the attention of the world. And given that the president’s proposed budget slashes foreign assistance by more than 30 percent, it is not clear whether the Trump administration is particularly concerned. In 2011, it took more than 200,000 people to starve to death in Somalia before the world responded. President Trump has a rare opportunity to demonstrate his ability to lead by saving the lives of millions of children and addressing a humanitarian crisis in a unified fashion. We can-and should--end famine now. Rep. Bass is ranking member of the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, introduced a bipartisan resolution in March to increase USAID emergency funding to address growing famine in South Sudan. The bill now is awaiting a vote on final passage. Bass represents California’s 37th District, which comprises of Culver City, West Los Angeles, and South Los Angeles.
Radioactivity By James Clingman “Well done beats well said every time.” “When it’s all said and done, much is said and little is done.” There are many Black folks who can tell us what “we need to do” in the context of economic empowerment and other issues that matter. They have all the answers, but too often deal with them from a symptomatic perspective rather than a problematic perspective. Some of us believe that simply talking about a problem, mainly by delineating its symptoms, is actually doing the work necessary for a solution. Think about it. We cite criminal justice symptoms and educational symptoms, we talk about the wealth gap and the health gap and the income gap, and we regurgitate statistics that justify our symptomatic approach to the dire situations we face every day. But merely talking and writing about the symptoms have never solved our problems. Someone has to execute. I hear and read a great deal of information as I look for the solution to our problems. It’s almost to the point of information overload. You would think that with all of the activists we have within our ranks that some actual activity, beyond mere exercising our powers of speech and penmanship, would take place. That is especially true on radio talk shows. Those I call “Radio-Activists” are adept at identifying the symptoms and saying what “we need to do” while seldom, if ever, laying out the problem and offering a solution—a solution on which they are willing to work and help implement. Mere “Radioactivity,” and I would add “TV Activity,” while they may inform us, if not acted upon is just more information. And just like knowledge, information is not power unless you use it—use it to your own advantage. So all the pontificators, prognosticators, pundits, and philosophizers who simply offer their assessments of our problems by describing their symptoms, should do a little introspection to see if they are really interested in contributing what they can to solve our problems. Instead of, or at least in addition to sounding the alarm, they should also offer real solutions and then prepare to contribute some time, talent, and treasure toward solving those problems. Radio activists are usually busy telling others what
must be done, as they continue to sit on the sidelines and critique problems. They seldom are willing to get into the game by initiating the solutions they espouse; instead, they tell others what to do and how it should be done. Radioactivity, when it comes to economic and political action, is dangerous and seldom results in any real progress, that is, unless someone other than the Radio-Activist picks up the gauntlet and executes a strategy that evolves into a movement to empower our people. Don’t be a Radio-Activist. The next time you have the opportunity to speak on the air—or via any medium— don’t just say what “we need” to do; follow it up by saying what you either are doing about the issue or what you are willing to do about it. Besides, after making your transition, wouldn’t you rather have folks speak of you in terms of what you did in addition to what you said? Don’t you want to leave a legacy of putting your words into action? Don’t you want your children to know you for your work on their behalf rather than what you said we “needed”? We can see what our ancestors did, many of who never gave a speech or wrote a book; they simply worked to leave something better for those who came after them. It’s more about the actions than it is about the words anyway. Frederick Douglass told Harriet Tubman, “I have had the applause of the crowd and the satisfaction that comes of being approved by the multitude, while the most that you have done has been witnessed by the few trembling, scarred, footsore bondmen and women, whom you have led out of the house of bondage… The midnight sky and silent stars have been the witness of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism… ‘God bless you,’ has been your only reward.” Everyone can do something. You don’t have to be rich; you don’t need to be an intellectual; and you don’t have to be a leader. You have something more than words to give to our people. Love, trust, respect, encouragement, a smile, a hug, a couple of dollars to a person in need, the willingness start a project, a movement, or an organization, are all things we can do as individuals. As a collective we can unify, organize, and work on building something for ourselves, because just talking about it will not get the job done. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY NEWS Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science Partnership with Lynwood Unified School District Will Give ‘Guaranteed Admission’ to Qualified LUSD Students LOS ANGELES, Calif. — As part of its local outreach strategy—and mission— to increase access to quality medical education in traditionally underserved areas of Los Angeles, Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lynwood Unified School District (LUSD) on April 10 that will enable qualified Lynwood students to be “guaranteed admission” to the South Los Angeles University. CDU has entered into similar arrangements with Los Angeles Unified School District -South, Compton Unified School District, Verbum Dei High School and West Los Angeles College over the last 12 months and expects to sign additional MOUs in the future.
5 Tips To Help Teens Master Their Money (BPT) - For most teens, high school is an exciting time, one that offers the opportunity to set their own path and make some of their own decisions. However, with this added independence comes additional responsibility, especially regarding money. Today teens are spending $260 billion a year in the U.S., yet only 17 states require completion of at least one financial literary course for high school graduation. "So many teens don't realize how important saving is," says Angel Carter, an Atlanta teen who was selected by Boys & Girls Clubs of America to serve as national ambassador for its financial education program called Money Matters: Make it Count, created in collaboration with Charles Schwab Foundation. "They don't understand the importance of saving for their future needs and tracking or prioritizing their purchases." Taking part in this program had a profound impact on Carter, along with more than 725,000 other Club teens who have completed Money Matters. And because April is Financial Literacy Month, now is the perfect time for Carter to offer a few tips she learned to help others manage their money. * There's no such thing as "too young" or "too much." Because of the way compound interest works, the earlier you begin to save, the less of a burden it is. For example, regularly saving 10 percent of your income is a good savings goal if you're in your 20s or younger; however, if you wait until your 30s to start saving, that number increases to 20 percent in order to reach the same long-term goal. And if you Please see Money, page 12

dent of Academic Affairs and Provost Steve O. Michael, PhD. “The relationship with Lynwood Unified School District promises to be one of our closest, strongest, and most productive, partly because of the district leadership’s unreserved commitment to academic excellence, high graduation rates, increased college participation, and expanded interest in health professions. Their commitment is right in line with CDU's mission; hence, all qualified LUSD graduates will have guaranteed admission with varying levels of scholarships from the date that the MOU is signed.” “These partnerships with local schools and school districts are a big part of our mission— and our growth strategy,” said CDU President and CEO Dr. David Carlisle. “It’s very gratifying for us to be able to provide high-quality health professions education to students who are quite likely to return to those very same underserved and underresourced communities where they attended high school and help address the healthcare shortages there. “It’s good for the students, the school districts, our local Los Angeles communities and CDU.” For more information, visit http://www.cdrewu.edu/, and follow CDU on Facebook, Twitter (@cdrewu), and Instagram(@charlesrdrewu).

CA Republicans Strike Working-Class Tone During Gas Tax Debate (Continued from page 1) Candice Packard, a social worker from Lake Elsinore, is one of those people Stone is referring to. She said, as a social worker, she doesn’t make much money and the gas tax will make life more difficult. “It will affect me because I will be paying higher prices for gas that I must use in order to continue my job,” said Packard. Although Republicans have traditionally supported slashing taxes on the wealthy, believing the wealth will eventually trickle down to working people, Stone suggested the legislature in-
crease taxes on items like private jet fuel and luxury cars, which are used by the “Hollywood elite.” Sen. Jim Nielsen (R-Fresno) was also critical of the transportation bill for several reasons. He was concerned that the money would end up in the state’s general fund. “I don’t trust agencies to spend the money wisely,” said Nielsen. Nielsen also said the tax increase would be one more reason for companies to avoid California, which has a reputation for being an expensive state to do business in. He also said he was concerned that an increase in
diesel costs would put “a heavy burden” on working people as the cost of goods would increase. Several Democrats argued in favor of the bill. Sen. Bob Hertzberg (D-Los Angeles) said the bill was needed to fix the state’s crumbling roads. A transportation bill has not been passed since the days of Gov. Ronald Reagan, and road use has tripled, said Hertzberg. Voter outrage over the gas tax has already created a backlash. Sen. Josh Newman (D-Fullerton) is facing a recall after he voted yes on SB 1. The bill is pending the Governor’s signature.
In Florida, I had a ball. I went swimming, riding on roller coasters at Disney World, yes I went to Disney World. Disney World was so much fun. There are four main theme parks at Disney World. There is the Epcot Center, Disney Zoo, Hollywood Studios and the one that I went to was the Magic Kingdom. The Magic Kingdom had many roller coasters and it had a humongous castle. I also went to the Kennedy Space Museum (KSM). KSM was next to the NASA Headquarters and my mom and I took a tour of NASA. I had fun for spring break and I hope you had a great Easter.

California ‘Weed Nuns’ Could Bring Cannabis Healing Mission To Canada Meet the Sisters of the Valley — California’s self-ordained “weed nuns” who are on a mission to heal and empower women through their cannabis products. Based near the town of Merced in the Central Valley, an area of California which produces over half of the fruit, vegetables and nuts grown in the United States, the Sisters of the Valley grow and harvest their own cannabis plants according to moon cycles. They then cook them up into cannabis-based balms and ointments which they say have the power to heal and improve one’s wellbeing. They may look like nuns but they do not belong to any order of the Catholic Church and they say their Holy Trinity is the marijuana plant. “We’re against religion so we’re not a religion. We consider ourselves Beguine revivalists and we reach back to pre-Christian practices,” says 58-year-old Sister Kate, who founded the sisterhood. “Through our

as “Sister Occupy.” “We’ve gotten a few hate calls but you know by and far the Catholics understand what we’re doing,” said Sister Kate. “They go ‘oh, they’re dealing with cancer patients, they’re serious women on a serious mission.’ They don’t really hold any grudge against us. And the fact of the matter is the Catholic nun is going extinct.” The Trump administration and their appointment of Jeff Sessions, a long-time critic of marijuana legalization, as attorney general has worried some in the country’s nascent legalized marijuana industry. But the nuns say the new administration has strengthened their resolve. “The thing Trump has done for us is put a light under, a fire under our butts to get launched in another country. So our response to Trump is Canada.” More than two dozen U.S. states have legalized some form of marijuana for medical or recreational use, but the drug remains illegal at the federal level.© 2017 Reuters

HEALTH & COMMUNITY NEWS Uphill Battle Looms as Trump Seeks Revamped Healthcare Plan By Susan Cornwell | WASHINGTON President Donald Trump, striving to make good on a top campaign promise, is pushing his fellow Republicans who control Congress to pass revamped healthcare legislation but the same intraparty squabbling that torpedoed it last month could do it again. Trump is looking for his first major legislative victory since taking office in January. House of Representatives Republicans are exploring compromises aimed at satisfying the party's most conservative members without antagonizing its moderates, but it remained unclear on Friday whether a viable bill would emerge. Trump on Friday played down the need for Congress to act on the legislation before he reaches his 100th day in office next weekend, telling reporters, "We'll see what happens - no particular rush." Trump on Thursday had predicted "a good chance of getting it soon," either "next week or shortly thereafter." On Friday, he
said it "doesn't matter if it's next week." Congress, returning from a recess next week, also will be working against the clock to pass legislation to keep the government funded past April 28 and avert a federal shutdown. Healthcare legislation did not appear on the schedule released on Friday by House Republican leaders of bills to be considered next week. "We're going to get it done when it's appropriate in terms of getting to that 216," White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters, referring to the vote total needed for House passage before the bill goes to the Senate. Trump's party cannot afford defections because Democrats remain unified against the Republican quest to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, Democratic former President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy achievement, dubbed Obamacare. Trump campaigned on a pledge to discard Obamacare. In a stinging setback for Trump, Speaker Paul Ryan pulled

the legislation from the House floor on March 24 before allowing it to come to a vote amid a revolt by conservatives in a faction called the House Freedom Caucus and moderates unhappy with concessions to the conservatives. Republicans have called Obamacare a government overreach. The law enabled 20 million Americans to obtain insurance, many through an expansion of the Medicaid program for the poor. A senior House Republican aide said it was not clear whether a revamped Republican plan can attract 216 votes, adding that without a legislative text it was impossible to do a vote count to assess its chances. MACARTHUR PROPOSAL Moderate Republican Representative Tom MacArthur is pushing a proposal to allow states to waive some Obamacare provisions. MacArthur's office said he has discussed it with other Republican lawmakers, the House leadership and the White House. No text has emerged, but
an outline of his proposal said states could seek to relax "essential benefits" that Obamacare requires insurance plans to cover, such as emergency room trips, maternity and newborn care, and mental health services. States also could request waivers to Obamacare's ban on insurers charging sick customers higher premiums than healthy customers. But states would have to establish "high-risk pools" using government funds to help pay for insurance for people with costly medical conditions. Representative Rodney Davis told CNN on Friday he did not know what was in the deal, but added, "I'm not going to be for a plan that is going to allow for preexisting conditions to not be covered." MacArthur and Davis are members of the centrist House Republican Tuesday Group. Freedom Caucus member Representative Dave Brat told CNN the new proposal gives states more say healthcare but was the "same fundamental bill" that collapsed last month. The Republican
plan, as written last month, would end the Medicaid expansion, let states impose work requirements on some Medicaid recipients, rescind a range of Obamacare taxes, get rid of a penalty on people who refuse to obtain insurance, and ditch Obamacare's income-based subsidies to help people buy insurance while creating less-generous age-based tax credits. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office forecast the earlier version of the plan would increase by 24 million the number of Americans without medical insurance by 2026. During a Thursday conference call with House Democrats, their leader, Nancy Pelosi, urged them to remain united against the Republican legislation, saying it would increase healthcare costs and provide less insurance coverage, an aide who was on the telephone call said.

BUSINESS & COMMUNITY NEWS Get Extra Money All Year: Tips To Adjust Your Tax Withholdings (BPT) - Every year, nearly eight out of 10 taxpayers receive a federal tax refund. Many of them are more than happy to see that "extra" money drop into their bank accounts. In fact, according to a recent TaxAct survey, 61 percent of tax filers said they'd rather receive a big refund than a larger paycheck throughout the year. Unfortunately, many of those taxpayers don't realize they could have that "extra" money throughout the year. That's right receiving a refund means overpaying the government in the form of a 12-month, interest-free loan. "Receiving a refund check simply means you're getting the money you already earned in the past year," says Mark Jaeger, director of Tax Development for TaxAct. "It's money you could have used to pay for things like car payments, student loans, groceries and medical bills - or even that island getaway you wanted to take last summer." Fortunately, there is something you can do about it. By making the necessary withholding adjustments to your Form W-4, you can have that money a lot sooner than tax season. Follow these three steps to take control of your finances and
help give yourself a raise this year - not a refund next year. 1. Review your current withholdings. To control your tax withholding and paycheck, you need to adjust the number of allowances (withholding exemptions) you claim on Form W-4. If you're unfamiliar with Form W4, it's the tax document you complete each time you start a job to let your employer know how much money to withhold from your paycheck for federal taxes. To better understand how allowances work, think about it this way: * To increase your
paycheck, claim more allowances to withhold fewer taxes. * To increase your refund, claim fewer allowances to withhold more taxes. With one simple form you can make the necessary adjustments to give yourself a raise and put more money in your paycheck instead of waiting to receive it in the form of a tax refund. Take a moment to review your withholdings along with your current financial situation. Is it better for you to receive a larger refund or would additional money in each paycheck benefit you more? 2. Use tools to help cal-
culate the appropriate withholding. If you are unsure of what number of allowances is appropriate for your tax situation, a variety of tax tools can make calculating your withholdings easier. The Paycheck Plus calculator, for example, will use information like your income and tax deductions to help you determine how to make changes to your W4 to receive a boost in your refund or more money in your paycheck. By answering a few quick questions, you can easily adjust your withholdings to see how they impact your paycheck and your tax liability. The tool will also auto-populate your new Form W-4 if you choose to adjust your withholdings. Using a tool like the Paycheck Plus calculator not only takes the stress out of estimating your withholdings on your own, it also lets you quickly see the potential impact on your finances before you make any official changes. 3. Assess recent life events. As life changes, so do your taxes. Generally, you should consider adjusting your W-4 any time a major life event occurs, to ensure the right amount of tax is
withheld from your paycheck. For example, did you start a new job this year or get a pay raise in your current position? A change in household income can impact your tax situation and require you to modify your allowances. Did you recently tie the knot? Saying "I do" can affect your tax rate, especially if you and your spouse are both employed. Filing a joint return can lower your tax rate and qualify you for deductions you didn't have as a single person. The same is true if the opposite occurs divorce. Untying the knot will place you back in single status and take away many of the tax benefits available to those who are married. A new baby is also a major life event that greatly influences your tax situation. This is true even if you adopt. Not only can you claim an additional allowance for your new dependent, you may also qualify for various credits, like the Child Care Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit. Both of those decrease your tax liability. If your withholdings remain the same, you may receive a larger refund, but you will miss out on extra dollars in your paycheck to cover the costs of added expenses, like diapers and formula.

Black Author/Screenwriter Deangelo Manuel Disappointed in Lack of Support for Screenplay About a Crucial Piece of Untold American History . PHILIP'S COUNTY, Ark--PRNewswire/ -- Last June, Deangelo Manuel pitched his epic screenplay, Elaine 1919, to TV ONE and ABFF contest. Manuel's revolutionary work unearths one of the most significant events in American history: the Elaine riots of 1919 that resulted in the bloodiest massacre of African Americans on United States soil. The screenplay also highlights a profound decision from the United States Supreme Court ( Moore vs Dempsey) that was instrumental in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Arkansas is currently making headlines because of the eight inmates on
death row, but many do not know the history of Arkansas as written in Elaine 1919, which depicts how Scipio Africanus Jones, an African American attorney, risked his life and successfully saved twelve men on death row and paved a way for universal due process. Considering the screenplay's importance in African American history, Manuel thought it would be fitting to have a Black-owned company embrace his work and give him the guidance and backing needed to reach a larger audience. Manuel's most devastating moment came when TV ONE
and ABFF declined to accept the pitch. Manuel was even offered the opportunity to pitch Elaine 1919 to the Weinstein Company at the Napa Film Festival but the interest was surprisingly lackluster considering the magnitude and potential impact of the screenplay. Manuel plans to journey to Europe and the Middle East to pitch not only Elaine 1919 but his other equally powerful and historically relevant scripts. These stories are not only part of American history; they are also part of Manuel's story and that of his family. Such an important piece of America's story needs to be told and Manuel will stop at nothing to tell it. Manuel released the book Elaine 1919 in eBook, audio and paperback of the untold story on April 13th. It is available on all online book retailers. http:// www.prnewswire.com/newsreleases/elaine-1919-americasbest-kept-secret-uncovered300438962.html http:// www.deangelomanuelliterary.co m/ https:// www.youtube.com/watch? v=KViLzYQg9uc
Washington Threatens Funding Cut To California, Other ‘Sanctuary’Areas By Julia Edwards Ainsley and Andy Sullivan | WASHINGTON REUTERS—The U.S. Department of Justice threatened on Friday to cut some funding to California as well as eight cities and counties across the United States, escalating a Trump administration crackdown on socalled sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities. President Donald Trump has vowed to strip federal funds from dozens of state and local governments that do not fully cooperate with U.S. immigration agents, arguing they endanger public safety when they decline to hand over for deportation illegal immigrants who are arrested for crimes. "Sanctuary cities" in general offer safe harbor to illegal immigrants and often do not use municipal funds or resources to advance the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Many of these localities say they do not have the funding or space to hold immigrants until federal agents can take custody of them. Those threatened were: the state of California; New York City; Chicago; Philadelphia; Clark County, Nevada; New Orleans; Miami-Dade County, Florida; and Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Cook County, Illinois, also received a warning, even though it did not get money from the Justice Department last year. The jurisdictions have until June 30 to provide evidence to the federal government that they are not violating any laws. At stake is roughly $29 million in law enforcement aid under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, which helps local governments pay for everything from forensics labs to drug courts. The grants in question are among the largest handed out under the program, collectively amounting to 11 percent of the $256 million distributed in the last fiscal year. In a statement, the Justice Department singled out Chicago and New York as two cities that are "crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime," even though New York City is experiencing its lowest crime levels in decades and experts say Chicago's recent
spike in violent crime has little to do with illegal immigration. Several state and local officials responded with defiance to the threat. "New York is the safest big city in the country, with crime at record lows in large part because we have policies in place to encourage cooperation between NYPD and immigrant communities," said Seth Stein, a spokesman for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. In California, the state Senate approved a bill earlier this month to curb cooperation between police agencies and federal agents seeking to deport illegal immigrants. The measure is now in the state Assembly. "It has become abundantly clear that Attorney General (Jeff) Sessions and the Trump administration are basing their law enforcement policies on principles of white supremacy not American values," California Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin de León, a Democrat, said in a statement on Friday. A spokeswoman for the California Board of State and Community Corrections said some of the federal funding in question went to local communities after emergencies, including San Bernardino after a mass shooting there in 2015. Officials in Philadelphia, Milwaukee County and Cook County said they believed they were complying with immigration laws. "Milwaukee County has its challenges but they are not caused by illegal immigration. My far greater concern is the proactive dissemination of misinformation, fear, and intolerance," said Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union, told Trump in a meeting last month that they were concerned the cuts could threaten public safety.

5 Tips To Help Teens Master Their Money (Continued from page 3) wait till your 40s, it goes up to 30 percent. So it's better to start putting money away as early as possible. Talk to your parents or another adult you trust about setting up a savings account, and how much you should regularly set aside. * Recognize needs vs. wants. Being smart about money doesn't mean you can't enjoy life, or do fun things with your hard-earned cash; but it does mean you need to plan for them. An easy rule of thumb is to figure out how much you need to set aside in order to meet your expenses, including savings, every month. Anything left over is for having fun. It might seem contradictory, but knowing ahead of time how much spending money you have available helps you know when you can comfortably say "yes," and when you're better off passing on an event or an impulse purchase. * Know where your money goes. It may not be particularly fun, but tracking where and how you spend money is just one of those healthy habits that's good for you, like eating spinach and exercising. You can record this information with a notebook or an app, but just remember to log your purchases, including all those "small" ones. Being aware of every dollar you spend will help you understand yourself and your spending habits - and can help you find ways to reduce your spending and save even more. * Credit is like social
media. You know how parents and teachers are always telling you to watch what you post on social media channels, because someday you're going to have to apply for a job? Good credit is to your future purchasing what a clean social media history is to job applications: it takes time and commitment to build, and only moments to lose. A good credit score and a history of responsible spending give you options, which is priceless when you want to buy or lease a car, or apply for an apartment or even buy a house later on. How do you build good credit? Manage your checking account carefully, always pay your bills on time, and if you do choose to get a credit card, never charge more than you can afford to pay off in full every month. * Keep it real. In today's economy, managing money responsibly is a tall order, but it is possible, especially if you take control! Think about the kind of life-
style you want to live, and figure out how much it takes to support yourself in those circumstances. Once you've done that, it's simply a matter of solving for "x." One good way to be astute about finances is to look for a financial education program geared for teens, one that covers budgeting, goal setting, and planning for the future. Some programs, like Money Matters, even offer virtual reality games to practice for the real world without real-life risk. These tips are just a few Carter learned through the Money Matters program at her local Boys & Girls Club. A new component of the program, the digital game $ky, is now available to all teens. The game challenges teens to navigate financial decisions in a fresh, fun way that will keep them thinking prudently about their finances not only in April but in the months and years ahead.
