Blacks Make Up 40 Percent of L A County Homeless But They Were Missing at the Interfaith Summit To Discuss Billions of Taxpayers Dollars To Combat the Problem By Gloria Zuurveen L A County’s Editor-in-Chief LOS ANGELES— On Wednesday, June 7, 2017, Homeless I attended the Interfaith Summit On Homelessness with its Problem is a theme “Pursuing the Promise of Combating Homelessness Black Thing Together.” The first problem I had when I entered the room at The California Endowment headquarters located at 1000 North Alameda street in downtown Los Angeles. While the theme emphasized togetherness, the room did not reflect togetherness especially since the homeless initiative relied supposedly on statistics from the homeless count by Los Angeles Housing Service Authority LAHSA. LAHSA is a joint powers authority of the city and county of Los Angeles, created in 1993 to address homelessness and on the voters’ passage of Measure H in March and Proposition HHH in November. Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas said, “Measure H is a 1/4-cent sales tax expected to raise $355 million annually for services to the homeless countywide. It creates an unprecedented funding stream expected to move 45,000 homeless men, women and children into stable housing within the next five years, and provide them with the high-quality, multidimensional supportive services they need to succeed in the long run. It is also intended to prevent an estimated 30,000 people from becoming homeless in the first place. ProposiHealth/Sponsored

tion HHH, meanwhile, is a $1.2-billion bond measure estimated to build 10,000 units of permanent supportive housing in the City of Los Angeles. With monies like this on the table, no, the room did not reflect the 40 percent Blacks who are homeless in the city and county of Los Angeles. Nor did the documents distributed in the room reflect those numbers. Somehow they were excluded from the data given out during the Interfaith Summit On Homelessness whose nice sounding mission is to pursue the promise of $355 million dollars yearly to those in the room, who again, I say, didn’t look
like those who are really in need to combat homelessness, Black men, women and children. As I looked around and took pictures, I was reminded of the words of Thomas F. Pettigrew who authored “A Profile of the Negro American” when he said, “Much of the systemic racism in the United States has a single source. The fundamental aspect of American discrimination against African Americans is housing.” From the looks of that room at The California Endowment it appears that not much has changed since the book was written in 1964. I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Pettigrew when he
said, “That (discrimination) leads to many other problems. It leads to the segregation of schools. It leads to job discrimination… Housing is at the core, but very little progress has been made on that front.” With billions getting ready to flow throughout the community to help the homeless get off the streets into homes and to have the opportunity to receive other coordinated services, it is frightening to see that very little progress has been made to ensure that Blacks are at the table discussing an issue that is dominated by them, homelessness, a lack of housing. There ought to be an outcry that there are no Please see Blacks on page 8
--Representation is going to be crucial when it comes to dividing up the $3.55 billion windfall that is expected to come D. Freeman over the next decade after Measure H was approved by voters back in March. The faith community from various parts of the county came together at the Interfaith Summit on Homelessness at the California Endowment on Wednesday, June 7, to see how their community fit into the plans of getting part of that financial pie to combat the homeless issue. However, there was one major component missing from the three and a half-hour dialogue, which included a personal testimony from a once homeless mother, remarks by Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, and a panel discussion. Statistics of the black homeless population in Los Angeles County should be pause for concern for city officials and how they go about addressing this matter. The fact is that there are 57,794 people living on the streets on any given night, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority-Los Angeles County Homeless Report 2017. African Americans, who only make up eight percent of the county’s population, make up 40 percent (21,921) of those living on the streets, a number too staggering to overlook.

Do Dental Cavities Always Hurt? a common misconception that a cavity will always give you a toothache. Cavities Don’t Hurt Until It’s BAD Today yielded another perfect example of this analogy. A young lady was diagnosed as having a cavity, not because it hurt, but because I could see the previous silver amalgam dental filling had broken, and because we could see it on the x-ray, as shown. Looking just at the x-ray, you wouldn’t suspect how deep the cavity really is. In fact, studies show that cavities are usually 30% WORSE than
they appear on x-rays, because the human eye can not perceive the grayscale changes at the level they really are. What Does a Cavity Look Like? If you’ll follow the progression of photos below (and BTW — this work was done by me, not
someone else!), you can see where we started with what was a small old filling, then as we progressively and very carefully removed the decay while using 8-12 times magnification with a dental operating microscope, to see just how deep the cavity really was. The blue stains are from a solution that we use to help us see where the decay is (it stains the cavity-causing bacteria if there are high enough numbers). Then you can see the finished result: a beautifully natural-looking, tooth-colored composite dental filling.

Dr. Gloria Zuurveen Founder /Owner/ Publisher Photo by Christopher Bordeaux
Hello Readers, School is officially out and our young people are free for the summer to explore and enjoy. I pray to God that many young people will keep themselves occupied with many exciting things to do this summer besides going to Disneyland which I have heard how the prices have gone up. There are plenty of sideline jobs the can seek out. Be a creator of your future and get out and network with people who can teach you new things like coding and computer programing to get ready for the future. I am grateful that I will do the invocation for the J.U.G.S luncheon on Saturday at the Marina Marriot in Marina Del Rey. It is a blessing to see our young people excel and move into their destiny with the help of mentors like the J.U.G.S. organization. Thanks to Ms. Lena Echols and the members of J.U.G.S. the youth are being honored.

Trump Asked Blacks, “What Do You Have to Lose? Apparently Our Civil Rights. By Julianne Malveaux (NNPA Newswire Columnist) When he was running for President of the United States, “45” asked AfricanAmericans what we had to lose by electing him. Embracing the most dystopian view of the African-American community, he attacked our schools, our streets, crime rates, and unemployment and suggested that we were so far down, that electing him could only improve things. Curiously, he never talked about racism when he talked about the status of African-Americans. He never spoke of hate crimes, police killings, or racist symbols like Confederate flags and Confederate statues. He never denounced some of his most racist supporters, including “former” Klu Kluxer David Duke and alt-right leader Richard Spencer. No, he just asked what Black folks had to lose by electing him! We’ve been learning what we have to lose in these nearly five months of 45’s “leadership.” He cynically used HBCU presidents in a photo-op, while cutting education funds that help HBCUs. He has been silent or slow in denouncing racist incidents that have occurred on his watch, including the lynching of Second Lt. Richard Collins III, and the murder of heroes Ricky John Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, who stood up to the rabid racist Jeremy Joseph Christian, as he harassed two young women on a train in Portland (it took him three days to respond tepidly to that incident). As of this writing, two days after a noose was hung in the Smithsonian’s National Museum for African American History and Culture, he has not uttered a syllable of condemnation. These issues don’t appear to be important to him. Are we surprised, then, that the budget he has submitted to Congress, would eviscerate civil rights protections in literally every area of our lives? Already, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has moved back toward draconian jail sentences for minor crimes, reviewed consent decrees with police departments, looking to loosen them, and suggested that the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department can be smaller. The budget reflects that so clearly that Vanita Gupta, who led the Civil Rights Division under President Obama and now leads the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, says she sees this budget as a “setback” for civil rights. The new budget calls for folding the Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCCP) into the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, although the two agencies do distinctly different work. EEOC investigates civil
rights complaints, while OFCCP audits contracts to ensure that employees have equal opportunity in terms of both promotions and pay. The proposed budget cuts OFCCP by 16 percent and eliminates 130 full-time employees. When the other 470 employees are absorbed into the EEOC, that agency will not get an increased budget despite its expanded mission. Both agencies have been important in ensuring that civil rights violations are rectified. In 2010, EEOC had more than 20 active cases that involved nooses. Even as nooses continue to be hung as symbols of intimidation and hate, such as the noose hung at the African American Museum (the second hung at a Smithsonian museum in a week), the agency charged with investigating these complaints would have fewer resources to do so. Similarly, OFCCP has won money settlements for thousands of employees, and changed employment requirements when those requirements have a discriminatory impact. Women employees at Home Depot were among those receiving monetary settlements because of OFCCP investigations. At the Department of Education (surprise, surprise), a woman who opposes affirmative action leads the Office of Civil Rights. That office will be cut significantly, limiting its ability to investigate discrimination complaints in school systems. At the Environmental Protection Agency, efforts to look at environmental justice have been eliminated. From the noose hung at the National Museum of African American History and Culture to the defacing of LeBron James’ home with a racial slur, there is continuing evidence of the persistence of racism in our nation. This racism is emboldened by a national leadership that is silent despite its manifestations. We cannot be surprised. Our 45th president, after all, once said he did not trust African Americans to work on his accounting. He probably would have failed any OFCCP audit, and certainly attracted several housing discrimination lawsuits decades ago. The president who has been accused of discrimination has the power to ensure that his capitalist cronies face fewer accusations by weakening civil rights enforcement. What did African Americans lose when “45” was elected? Among other things, we (and others) lost civil rights protections! Julianne Malveaux is an author, economist and founder of Economic Education.

Food Deserts By James Clingman Why do we have Food Deserts? One reason is that we have deserted our own stores. Instead of taking care of ourselves, we complain about stores owned by someone else. We petition our politicians for a grocery store or seek private companies to open stores where we live, but seldom do we open stores ourselves. Even when Blacks do open new supermarkets we do not support them, and they eventually are forced to close. Think I’m wrong? Keep reading. At the turn of the last century (1900) Black people began to form food co-ops and other collective purchasing programs to feed themselves and to leverage lower prices for Black consumers. Two of the first grocery co-ops were started in St. Louis and Chicago by B. G. Shaw and Robert Jackson, respectively, in 1919. The most notable co-op was the Colored Merchants’ Association (CMA), founded by A.C. Brown in Montgomery, Alabama in 1923. With assistance from the National Negro Business League, under the leadership of Albon Holsey, the CMA became a national organization that encouraged Black grocers to unite. In 1936, Holsey stated, “…the CMA began to lose the confidence of the Black consumer.” Black Economist, Abram Harris, said, “Members always found it difficult to sell CMA brands. The Negro, like the White consumer, is habituated to the popular brands carried by the chains.” Source: Dr. Juliet E.K. Walker. Desertion of Black stores by Black consumers led to market opportunities for outsiders to take full advantage of the Black food dollar. We became dependent upon others, and now we even request their presence in our neighborhoods. No better picture of that reality than Singletary’s Supermarket in Columbus, Ohio in the mid-1980’s. I wrote many articles about Singletary’s and even spent time there doing a product sampling program. Singletary’s was a brand new business at that time, clean, well-stocked, and more convenient to Blacks in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood than other grocery stores. Author of “Tribes,” Joel Kotkin, wrote: “In Columbus, Ohio…Singletary Plaza Mart, the nation’s largest Black-owned ‘superstore,’ went out of business…due to a lack of community patronage. Although Blacks in Columbus spend $2.5 million each week on food, they couldn’t be convinced to spend less than a tenth of it, or $200,000, to keep Singletary afloat.”
The Reluctant Entrepreneurs, INC Magazine, 1986. Desertion. In 1995, in Lakeland, Florida, an interdenominational group of Black ministers took their church members shopping. A two month-old Black -owned grocery store was not doing very well in the community, so the ministers got together to help. The ministers took 150 people to the store, called Fresh Supermarket Foods. After two hours, the shoppers had spent $4,000.00, according to the owner, Mr. Frank Jackson. Paul Sanders, pastor of Greater St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, said, “At stake is getting more Blacks to support [one another]. We talk about power. But if we don’t have some businesses or some money, we can talk about power all we want and it won’t come.” Sanders continued, “If the store does not succeed, it will be because of a lack of community support.” Desertion. Three other recent examples include Fresh Market supermarket in nearly 100% Black, Southside Chicago. Owner, Karriem Beyah, whose store was included in Maggie and John Anderson’s “Empowerment Experiment,” agreed that the awareness and enthusiasm the Anderson’s created was important, but Beyah added that his business may have suffered from being highlighted as an enterprise owned by an African-American. (He closed the store in August 2009) “If you’re under the radar, then maybe you won’t get that belief from customers that the other guy’s ice is colder than yours,” he said. But, “I’m not giving up.” (Beyah plans to open a new store this year, 2017. Second is the 2014 closing on the last Calhoun’s Supermarket in Montgomery, AL., after losing money for “three or four years,” according to owner, Greg Calhoun, who made history as the first African American in the South to own a supermarket. At one point, Calhoun had seven stores in Montgomery alone, a majority Black city. ShaKenya Calhoun cried as she closed the doors one final time. “The market has just been oversaturated with grocery stores…With the lack of sales, there’s not an economic impact for us to be in business.” Third, there’s the much ballyhooed Sterling Farms’ grocery store in New Orleans, co-owned by actor, Wendell Pierce, who wanted to bring healthy food to underserved communities. That store closed one year after opening. It drew national media attention when it opened, including a visit from Michelle Obama who was touting her Fresh Food Initiative to bring healthy grocery options to so-called “food deserts.” What will it take for us to feed ourselves? We have the money; we just lack the mindset. History will not treat us kindly if we fail to act appropriately.

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY NEWS Rep. Waters Delivers Keynote Address at the 2017 Los Angeles Southwest College Commencement LOS ANGELES – Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) delivered a keynote address to the 2016 and 2017 graduates of Los Angeles Southwest College (LASC) during the college’s
Congresswoman Waters (Center) Los Angeles Southwest College officials at the Commencement Congresswoman Waters
2017 commencement ceremony on June 6th. “I am so honored to join the President, Board of Trustees, LA Southwest College Foundation Board, faculty, staff, and the greater Los Angeles community to celebrate the achievements of the 2016 and 2017 graduating classes,” said Congresswoman Maxine Waters. “LASC is a college where hundreds of students choose to enroll every year in pursuit of an education and the training they need for their careers, and it has an outstanding track-record for preparing working adults, single parents, and other non -traditional students for the
workforce; I am proud to represent LASC in the work that I do in the United States Congress.” The 2017 commencement recognized over 700 graduates from the Summer 2016, Fall 2016, and Spring 2017 classes. Congresswoman Waters highlighted the achievements of four members of the graduating classes during her address: • Valedictorian, Soraida Saballos-Rodas, a 25 year old Los Angeles native who maintained a 3.959 grade-point average. • Salutatorian, Claudia Perez, a 44 year old resident of Gardena who maintained a 3.955 grade-
point average. • The youngest candidate for graduation, Kelechi Udeze, a 15 year old Middle College High School student who maintained a 3.870 grade-point average. • The oldest candidate for graduation, Frances Harris , a 72 year old candidate for a transfer degree in Psychology who also received a degree in Liberal Arts in fall 2014 from LASC. “These four graduates are just a few examples of the strength and resilience of LASC students,” said Congresswoman Waters. “I celebrate you today not because of your failures, but because you succeeded in spite of all odds stacked against you. Every time you fell, you got back up -- never forgetting who you were and what you set out to achieve by enrolling in this college.” In honor of the commencement theme, “50 Years of Breaking Barriers
and Building Futures,” Congresswoman Waters paid homage to the legacy of many unsung heroes in LASC’s history, most notably Mrs. Odessa Cox, LASC’s founder. Cox and her advocacy group, the South Central Junior College Committee, began petitioning in 1950 for the Los Angeles Unified School Board (LAUSB) to open a community college in South Los Angeles. Emphasizing their resilience, the Congresswoman stressed the meaning of their decades-long journey and pivotal events, such as the Watts Riots of 1965, which served as catalysts for the LAUSB to take action. Congresswoman Waters also reflected on the work of LASC administrators and community leaders “who shaped the educational experience that so many receive today.” They included former President Dr. Thomas G. Lakin, former Vice President Dr.
Ned Doffoney, and former College Dean Dr. Earnestine Thomas-Robertson; founder and president of LA Southwest College Village People, Dolores Sheen; founding pioneer of LASC and leader of the city’s rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the Watts Riots, Lillian Mobley; and LA Southwest College Foundation Board Members and local business leaders, Karim Webb and Gene Hale. Addressing the graduates, Congresswoman Waters urged that “the same fire and unrelenting passion that led so many to fight for your education, is the same dedication and resilience that each of you must leverage to fight your own battles in your lives and careers. My desire is that you too will hold your heads up high, stay focused on the concerns of your community, and continue to make sure you have the knowledge needed to fight to make a difference.”
Patriotic Millionaires On Dodd-Frank Rollback: Deregulating Banks is Dangerous "We must not turn the regulatory calendar back to as it was ten years ago" Washington, DC This afternoon the House took a disappointing step backward when they voted to repeal substantial portions of the Dodd-Frank Act. In response Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl, former managing director at BlackRock Inc., issued the following statement: “As a long time participant in America’s capital markets, I understand that those markets are an important part of making credit available to people. I also believe that the United States of America is the center of the financial world because of our strong regulatory system, not in spite of it.
President Barack Obama signing into law the Dodd-Frank Act and on Friday, the House voted to repeal substantial portions .
We must not turn the regulatory calendar back to as it was ten years ago and help the financial services industry run a business model of trapping Americans into a debt cycle.”
Repealing substantial portions of the DoddFrank Act places the American economy back in the same unstable position it was in during the years preceding the 2008 financial crisis.

School District Reinstate Off-Campus Bible Class Canceled After Secular Group Complained By Samuel Smith , CP Reporter A public school district in Michigan will once again allow elementary school students to participate in a voluntary off-campus Bible study program that it suspended after receiving a complaint from a local secularist group. In a recent interview with MLive.com, Superintendent Ken Haggart explained that the school district will reinstate the Release Time Bible Study program at Daisy Brook Elementary next fall after some adjustments are made. "We temporarily canceled the program while we reviewed parts of the program," Haggart said. "We believe that we were doing nothing wrong." According to MLive.com, the adjustments the school will make to its program involves how the fliers for the program are distributed. This past school year, Fremont Public Schools in Newaygo County, under the advice of its lawyers, suspended its policy of allowing students at Daisy Brook to leave campus to attend the Release Time Bible Study program at Fremont Wesleyan Church taught by pastor John Perkins. The program had been offered by the school for about 10 years. Although the monthly class was historically held at the school, the program was moved off campus after the Michigan Association of Civil Rights Activists (MACRA) complained about the legality of the school hosting the Bible class.
With the class being held at the church this school year, the school district allowed for students to be released from school to attend the class once per month during lunchtime. Students were transported to the church in a churchowned bus. However, the program was halted after the school received another complaint from MACRA about the constitutionality of the school distributing fliers to advertise for the faithbased program. Following the school district's cancellation of the the Bible class, attorney Timothy Denney sent a demand letter to Haggart urging him to reinstate the program. Denney stressed in his letter that the school is on strong legal footing to let students continue taking part in the program and distribute fliers for the program. "If a permission slip
from a student's parent or guardian is provided, it is mandatory, not optional for Michigan public schools to release students for released time religious instructions," Denney asserted in the letter, adding that the program is not in violation of federal or state
law.
Haggart said they are "excited to bring the program back." "It's a great program for many of our kids who live in Fremont," he added. MACRA took to its Facebook page to comment

(323) 244-7286
on Haggart's declaration that the Bible program will resume next fall. "No public school may establish or facilitate any particular day or time for student release under the law. Only parents may request release time for their children," the Facebook post reads. "The school may not sponsor, promote, endorse, adopt, facilitate, or otherwise associate with any program that involves religion. Much less, as Daisy Brook has done in this case, endorse one particular day, one particular hour, one particular pastor, one particular church, one particular religion." Denney told WZZM 13 that "Michigan law specifically authorizes public schools to release students for up to 2 hours per week for religious instruction at an off-premises location which is exactly what happened in Fremont."

HEALTH & COMMUNITY NEWS Black and Hispanic Patients Less Likely To See Neurologists By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) Black and Hispanic patients with neurologic disorders are less likely to see brain specialists than white people with these conditions, a recent U.S. study suggests. Researchers examined data on more than 279,000 patients, including nearly 17,000 who reported having neurological disorders, like epilepsy, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis or other conditions like headaches or cerebrovascular disease. They found that black patients were 28 percent less likely to see neurologists for outpatient care than white patients. Hispan-
ic patients were 39 percent less likely to see neurologists, the study also found. “Previous studies have focused on specific neurologic diseases such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease,” said lead study author Dr. Altaf Saadi, a neurology chief resident at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “This is the first study to look beyond individual neurologic diseases and show racial disparities among a broad range of neurologic illnesses, regardless of insurance, socioeconomic or health status,” Saadi said by email. “This is a much larger issue than previously documented,” she added.

Neurologic illness is common, affecting about 14 percent of American households, researchers note in the journal Neurology. Stroke, for example, is a leading cause of disability and the third most common cause of death in the U.S., and rates of other neurologic disorders like Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease are projected to soar as the population ages. Saadi’s team examined data collected from 2006 to 2013 from a nationally representative survey of medical expenditures. Across the entire study population, just 6 percent reported having a neurological disorder. About 2 percent, or 5,890 patients, received a total of 13,685 outpatient neurology visits. People who had at least one outpatient visit with a neurologist were more likely to be female, older, white, nonimmigrant, more educated and affluent and to have health benefits through Medicare or private insurance, the study found. Patients with certain neurologic diagnoses such as multiple sclerosis, epilep-
sy and Parkinson disease were more likely to see specialists than people with other types of neurologic conditions, the study also found. Among participants with known neurologic conditions, blacks were more likely to be cared for in the emergency department, to have more hospital stays, and to have higher per capita inpatient expenditures than their white counterparts. For every 100 patients with neurological disorders, 12.55 black patients went to the emergency room for care rather than seeing a neurologist in an outpatient clinic, compared with 7.66 Hispanic patients and 7.70 white patients. Geography may explain some of these disparities, because outpatient neurological services are more widely available in regions like the Northeast, while there are fewer specialists in parts of the Southeastern U.S. where far more people have neurologic disorders requiring specialty care, the authors note. One limitation of the study is that excludes people living in nursing homes and other institutional
settings where many patients with seizures and dementia may reside, the authors point out. Researchers also lacked data on individual patient or physician choices or preferences about care, which might have influenced whether some people received outpatient neurology services. Even so, the findings suggest that insufficient outpatient care may be disproportionately driving certain racial groups to the emergency room, said Dr. Jorge Burneo, a neurology researcher at Western University in London, Ontario, who wasn’t involved in the study. These emergency department visits may also become more costly for people who didn’t get outpatient care or waited until symptoms got severe to seek help, Burneo said by email. “If a patient visited his or her neurologist on a regular basis, there would be better control of the neurological problem, which would avoid an emergency room visit and admission to a hospital,” Burneo added.

Walking Their Dogs Keeps Elderly Active
Call PACE NEWS Today without delay! (323) 244-7286
By Ronnie Cohen (Reuters Health) - Senior citizens who live with dogs appear to meet internationally recognized exercise goals just by walking them, a new study suggests. Researchers matched 43 older adults with dogs to another 43 without dogs and measured their time spent walking. Compared to those without canine companions, dog owners walked on average 23 minutes more a day - enough to meet U.S. and international exercise recommendations for substantial health benefits, the research found. “It’s very difficult to find any other intervention that produces this size of effect,” said senior author Dr. Daniel Simon Mills, a professor of veterinary behavioral medicine at the University of Lincoln in England. “It’s good evidence that dog ownership amongst the elderly increases physical activity in a meaningful and healthy way,” he said in a video call. Participants in the study were 65 to 81 years old, lived independently in one of three counties in England and wore monitors that measured their movements for three one-week periods over the course of a year. The time periods were designed to capture participants’ steps in different seasons and under varied weather conditions, researchers reported in BioMed Central Public Health. Dog owners and participants who did not own dogs were
matched by gender, height, weight, health conditions and walking abilities. All were white British, and nearly two-thirds were women. The average participant was at least slightly overweight. The average dog in the study was nearly eight years old. Dog owners walked on average 21 minutes more than those without dogs at an at-least moderate pace, the study found. “Virtually all of the increased exercise is not just dawdling,” Mills said. “It’s marching.” Over the course of a week, the additional 147 minutes dog owners spent walking at a moderate pace would in itself be just three minutes shy of World Health Organization recommendations of at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous weekly physical activity, the study authors note. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults do a minimum of 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity a week. By matching dog owners to people without dogs, Mills said he believes the new study clarifies that the benefits of dog ownership stem from having dogs, rather than from dog owners being more active in the first place. But Marcia Stefanick, a professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine in Cali-
fornia, hesitated to ascribe all the benefits to the dogs.

The study confirms previous studies in which dog owners reported walking more than people without dogs. It also shows that the additional walking was at a moderate clip. “We saw a big increase in healthy activity and at a level that is considered to be health promoting,” Mills said. “If you’d like to get a dog, don’t be put off by the fact you’re elderly,” he said. “It’s good for the dog, and it’s good for you.” SOURCE: bit.ly/2s0YN1Y BioMed Central Public Health, online June 8, 2017.

NEWS Blacks Make Up 40 Percent of L A County Homelessness But Were Missing at the Interfaith Summit To Discuss Billions of Taxpayers Dollars To Combat the Problem (Continued from page 1) Black service provider agencies who will benefit the homeless and as well enhance its operation to help he homeless with billions of taxpayers dollars and who are in greater need because they are the majority who are homeless. I was somewhat taken aback when I discovered that not even representative from the Brotherhood Crusade were in the room especially, after discovering that the United Way in an article published in the Los Angeles Times in November 1992 it reported that that the Brotherhood Crusade under the former President and CEO, Danny Bakewell, who is now the Publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel newspaper, called a boycott of the United Way charging that collected donations from Blacks were not benefitting Blacks social services agencies. Bakewell in 92 said, “We are asking African American employees to withhold giving to the United Way and give instead to the Brotherhood Crusade.”

L A County’s Homeless Problem is a Black Thing (Continued from page 1) African Americans on the streets than any other ethnic group in Los Angeles County. Yet, even at this faithbased summit, which encompassed a wide sector of religions and faiths, the makeup of those at the homelessness money table did not come close to the kind of representation that would adequately lend credence to allowing the voice of the black community to be heard. Pastor Mike Grissom said there is no way of telling how that money will play out in trickling down to the black community, but said highly visible nonprofits such as the United Way for Greater Los Angeles, usually gets first consideration. “There’s no way that we can say how much that the money is going to benefit our community, the black community,” Grissom said. “The organizations that receive the money that go into this city-Los Angeles-are usually United Way and people who have been established for a long time. What they do is they give the money to someone that have been in business, and they’re supposed to give that money down to smaller organizations. It’s a friend-type thing. It’s like if I’m in your pocket and I’m in your pocket, then we’re probably going to work together.” Panelists Rev. Dr. Najuma Smith-Pollard from the USC Cecil Murray Center for Community Engagement (CMCCE) and Veronica Lewis, division director at Homeless Outreach Program Integrated Care System (HOPICS) offered their opinions about solutions to ending the homeless problem, but the voice of the black community at this table was by and large missing in action. “African Americans are disproportionally represented in the homeless population,” Lewis said. “We understand some of the unique needs of our men and women. It’s a like a sea of black men, unfortunately, when you go to Skid Row. Even though I’m in this work, it turns my stomach every time I go downtown. I think we are pretty well represented in
Photo by Gloria Zuurveen Attendees at the summit are listening to speaker about the homeless. many cases, in terms of the nonprofit sector. In the county and city offices, there could be a little bit more representation.” The portfolio breakdown given to those in attendance did not even mention those demographic groups hit hard by the homeless situation. Instead, how the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors have proposed how the money will be spent, in terms of services-the county’s planning areas of attacking the homeless plight, agencies representing those areas, and a general assessment of the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative, were among the items highlighted. Considering that African Americans make up the largest homeless group in Los Angeles County, it is interesting to note that no representation from any of the largest black churches in the city that have highly influential pastors, were not even among panelists. That would include mega-churches such as West Los Angeles, First A.M.E., City of Refuge, and Crenshaw Christian Center. Trinity Baptist Church Associate Pastor Rev. Alexander L Warthen can identify with the plight of the homeless. After a fire burned down his home in 1990, Warthen found himself out on the streets. Unless you’ve walked in those shoes, it is difficult to comprehend what it is like to be homeless, he said.
“Most of the people aren’t worried about losing their homes,” Wharthen said. “They have their homes. They have their property. They’re already settled. They’re just trying to find something to do. I’m not saying that everbody’s like that. But I’ve been homeless. Unless you’ve been there, you really can’t help someone, but you can bring a desire. They need to move this from paperwork and symposiums to go out and do it. They’re coming together, but’s like moving chairs on the Titanic.” The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has laid out a threeyear proposed plan on how the money will be spent. The adopted proposal would see $258 million allotted, an upgrade to $374 million in the second year, with an increase to $431 million for the 2019-20 fiscal year. The biggest chunk of those funds would go to improving the emergency shelter system and the expansion of rapid rehousing. Every city within the county is going to want a piece of that financial pie. Malibu has recently claimed an 18 percent uptick in its homeless problem. But when it comes to sheer volume and numbers, the Metro area of Los Angeles County has the biggest number of people on the streets. Over 15,000 people in Metro Los Angeles call the streets home, an increase of 30 percent from last year.
“The United Way should not get the benefit of the Black dollars because that money is not trickling down to the Black community, “ Bakewell said about the United Way. Today, I agree with Bakewell just as he said about United Way back then when he spoke about the United Way and employee payroll deductions that are not returning to their community. The same can be said, I believe, today, and especially looking at the room at The California Endowment on Wednesday. The United Way is one of the lead agencies that is charged with distributing the funds for the homeless initiative. Chris Ko of United Way of Greater Los Angeles, Home for Good were on a panel to speak about Housing-Coordinated Entry
cent homeless as reported in the LAHSA homeless count, were not represented very well in the summit and from conversation with several social service organization providers they said they had not been to any meetings held prior to Wednesday’s to discuss the allocation and distribution of billions of taxpayers dollars with the faith based community because they did not know. PACE NEWS received the notice of the meeting to be held at the endowment the day before the meeting at 1:20 pm on June 6, 2017 for the meeting which was scheduled for the next day June 7, at 8:30 am in the morning. With this kind of monies on the table for the homeless, it is imperative for the Black community to take an active role to ensure that those their tax dollars will be distributed and allocated in the manner they should in order to make a positive difference in the lives of the 40 percent Blacks who are in urgent need to combat homelessness. It is of utmost important that Blacks show up at the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on June 13, because this is the day that the Board of Supervisors will hear the final report of a 50-member planning group convened to develop funding recommendations for the first three years of Measure H revenue, totaling about $1 billion. Implementing those recommendations will begin in earnest during the new fiscal year, which begins July 1. Core strategies include: • Sending outreach and engagement teams to reach the homeless on every street corner; • Providing permanent housing with healthcare and other services; • Expanding rapid rehousing for the newly homeless; • Enhancing the

Black Parents in Riverside Question Local School's Actions to Students' Sharing Racial Slur By McKenzie Jackson/ California Black Media Editor’s note: CBM did not use the student’s name that has been posted to social media in this story. Parents and students at a Riverside, California high school are outraged over how an area school handled a student's post on social media. The post displayed another student posing next to a school whiteboard spelling the N-word in what appears to be the game Hangman. The mother of Hillcrest High School student Danielle Jones in the Alvord Unified School District is upset with the post and how school administration blamed her daughter for reposting the Snapchat photo showing a student proudly displaying the racial slur. Jones said that her classmate is the girl in the photo, both are members of Hillcrest's 2017 graduation class and Jones said she was also a member of the school's Associated Student Body (ASB). Jones' mother, Tocinda, said parents should have been notified of the Hangman picture when the incident first to place in March 2017 and believes her daughter's classmate should have faced more punishment than what they heard she received. The mom also wonders why the school waited until the end of the school year to further discipline the students involved. Jones and her friends said the school gave the girl in the photo a slap on the wrist by taking away her ASB activities events that were concluded for
the year and removing her from the May 31 graduation speaker's list. Jones said the punishment did not go into effect until after her Twitter post displaying the former Hillcrest student grinning next to the inflammatory word was shared online. "We expected more," Jones said. "We expect them to protect our kids from attacks like this. It's not ok. I think they should have notified the parents. They did none of that." Alvord USD spokesperson Cynthia Shipley wrote in an email on May 31 that the school district does not tolerate racial discrimination. "Any discriminatory actions on campus will be treated extremely seriously, and allegations of discriminatory remarks will be fully investigated and addressed," she stated. Alluding to the Hangman photo, Shipley wrote, “ school officials have investigated and addressed
the issue. However, due to student privacy rights, the district cannot disclose what measures were taken." Jones said the photo was "snapped" to social media in March. The teenager said some of her friends saw the image and were offended. They took a screenshot and forwarded it to her. Jones, who was a part of the valedictorian court and is set to attend New York University on a full scholarship next fall, felt compelled to address the issue with the school's administration. The student's March 24 email to school leaders read: "It's a shame you let [a] clearly racist student be a leader of your student body. I hope something is actually done this time as opposed to actions taken against students practicing hate speech in the past. Racism at any level should not be tolerated."
Jones said her email was never answered. She said her father, Kevin Jones, was extremely upset when he learned that school officials seemed to investigate his daughter—rather than investigate the photo—and didn't respond to her message because they didn't know who sent it. "They were investigating who sent the email instead of who was in the picture," he said. Jones' parents were not aware of the incident until after a school administrator asked their daughter to take down her post of the picture on Twitter. Jones said she refused to take down her post since she was not informed of the schools official's actions. As of June 1, another Twitter user, claravelarde13, May 27 post of the Hangman photo that identified the students was still making the rounds on
the social media site. Jones' dad said he attempted to setup a meeting with school officials after his daughter was confronted about her Twitter post but became frustrated that school officials were not more accommodating to meeting immediately after his request. The Hillcrest principal Dr. Sherri Kemp emailed Kevin Jones on May 24, "I can assure you that actions were taken to address this issue when the email was sent, as were further actions taken today. However, Jones was also annoyed that school officials would never answer his question to why parents weren't notified. His wife said the school's actions are not acceptable. "I think they owe us some sort of apology and definitely need to make changes in the school so this doesn't happen to other kids," she said.

ARTS, SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Eyeing Legacy, Cosby Finds Moments Low-Budget Moving for Wit as Sex Assault Trial Unfolds Hauling & Delivery Service By Joseph Ax | NORRISTOWN, Pa. During his trial on sex assault charges, Bill Cosby has mostly remained silent in court and avoided reporters' questions. But when fans have called out to him outside the courtroom, the 79-year-old has responded with attempts at humor. Mugging in front of the cameras this week after a fan said it was her birthday, he asked, "How old?" When the woman replied, "49," he did a mock stumble in an apparent reference to a famous standup special he did about the challenges of nearing 50 years of age. On another occasion, Cosby responded to a fan by offering up the famous "Hey, hey, hey" catchphrase from Fat Albert, the animated character he voiced in the 1970s. Inside the courtroom, he has been largely expressionless, his only reactions an occasional chuckle at a courtroom joke or a shake of the head as two of his accusers testified that he drugged and sexually abused them. On Wednesday, in the midst of testimony from the main accuser, Andrea Constand, Cosby was walking down a hallway when a court officer spotted someone using a cell phone. "Put that phone away!" the officer thundered, worried the person may have been trying to snap a photo. Cosby, who is legally blind, jumped at the shout before pointing his cane like a weapon at the officer and saying, "What'd you say?" as observers tittered.

Cosby's career has been derailed by dozens of sexual assault allegations from women stretching back decades, all of which he has denied. His interactions with fans outside the courthouse, coupled with a parade of show business friends who have attended the trial in support, have signaled he is intent on repairing his public image. His spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, told Reuters that Cosby got into his vehicle after a fan interaction outside court and told him, "Restoration of legacy," showing his reputation is on his mind. In an interview before the trial, Cosby told a radio host that he hopes to resume touring afterward. "I still feel that I have an awful lot to offer in terms of my writing, in terms of my performance," he said. A handful of protesters have at times stood outside the courthouse, yelling "guilty" as Cosby walked by. Conspicuously absent from the proceedings thus far has been Cosby's wife of 53 years, Camille Cosby. Instead, he
has been accompanied each day by actors and comedian friends, including Keisha Knight Pulliam, the woman who played his youngest daughter Rudy Huxtable on the 1980s television comedy, "The Cosby Show." Cosby's spokesman Wyatt said Camille Cosby continues to stand by her husband and may still attend the trial at some point, though he added that Bill Cosby wants to protect his family from the media frenzy. Wyatt, who is staying at Cosby's Pennsylvania home where Constand says she was assaulted in 2004, said Cosby recognizes the gravity of his situation but has remained confident and in good spirits. "He's Bill Cosby," Wyatt told Reuters. "He's the greatest comedian of all time. Trust me, he takes this matter very seriously. But he has to continue being who he is: someone who loves laughter, loves comedy, loves life." (Reporting by Joseph Ax Additional reporting by Barbara Goldberg in New York; Editing by Toni Reinhold)

Florida Governor Signs Bolstered 'Stand Your Ground' Florida Governor Rick Scott signed amended "stand your ground" legislation on Friday, making it easier for defendants in the state to successfully claim they were protecting themselves when they commit violence. Previously, the law required defendants to prove that they were using force in self-defense. The new law shifts the burden of proof in pretrial hearings to prosecutors, rather than defendants, to prove whether force was used lawfully. Supporters of stand your ground laws, including the National Rifle Associa-
tion, the powerful U.S. gun lobby, see the legislation as bolstering civilians' right to protect themselves. Florida's self-defense law was initially passed in 2005, and inspired similar laws in other states. It removes the legal responsibility to retreat from a dangerous situation and allows the use of deadly force when a person feels greatly threatened. Opponents have said the amended law will embolden gun owners to shoot first, citing the 2012 death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in the Orlando area, which spurred national protests and the Black
Lives Matter movement. The neighborhood watchman who killed him, George Zimmerman, was acquitted of murder after the state's stand your ground law was included in jury instructions. Scott, a Republican, signed the amended legislation into law along with a spate of other measures passed this week in a special session of the state's legislature. The measure was largely passed by party-line vote in the legislature. (Reporting by Bernie Woodall in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Editing by Patrick Enright and Lisa Shumaker)
