Just as We Feared ART OF CRAFT TO

By K.H. Hamilton Contributing Writer

While most students and families across the nation experienced worry or anxiety centered around COVID-19 and the Delta Variant spread (with its greatest impact on children under age 12 years), Black students and families worried about much more.

Black Students Face Racial Trauma As They Return to School

The California Recall and You

CHULA VISTA BREWERY

By Barbara Smith Contributing Writer

With the uncertainty of safe campus climates along with the rise of racial tensions centered around Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory, our concerns are becoming a reality as Black students all across America are returning back to school to racial harassment, discrimination and what some view as racial trauma.

“Never settle for someone telling you what you can’t do.” For Timothy Parker, entrepreneur and master craft brewer, this credo has been his recipe for success.

As the only black-owned craft brewery in San Diego County, his Chula Vista Brewery has become a mecca for craft beer enthusiasts and those eager to socialize in a fun, festive atmosphere.

EDITORIAL/COMMENTARY/OPINION

The California Recall and You

By Dr. John E. Warren, Publisher The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint

Next Tues­day, every re­g istered voter in the State of California will have an opportunity to cast a vote on the question of whether to recall Governor Gavin Newsom and replace him with one of over 40 candidates on the ballot, or, vote “NO” on question number one and keep him in office for the rest of his term. You might not think this election matters to you or concerns you. You could not be more wrong, if you fail to do your part by not voting, and he is recalled.

Then, you become a part of the Donald Trump Problem plauging this nation with conservative and racist White Republicans set on killing democracy in this nation through restrictive laws such as we see in Texas. You might ask, how does that affect the California Recall? Well, the one person expected to win if Newsom loses believes in Trump. He is Black by appearance but believes in everything Trump and his supporters stand for. From no masks and a failure to believe in vaccinations against the pandemic to a stated plan to appoint a Republican to the U.S. Senate seat now held

by Diane Feinstein if she leaves office for any reason in the time remaining on Newsom’s term as Governor. Such a move would

change the balance of power in the U.S. Senate and return control to Trump’s Republicans. These are the very people blocking the Voting Rights Act which would stop the voter suppression legislation that more than 22 states have already enacted.

Yes, your vote does matter. Those opposing the Governor are counting on democrats, mostly people of color in California, not returning their ballots in a failure to vote. Governor Newsom has made mistakes, but so have others. He has been concerned and is concerned about human life while others are more worried about keeping businesses open, regardless of how many people die.

We must each become a committee of one between now and next Tuesday, September 14, 2021, Election Day. We must vote “No” on Question Number 1 on the ballot and we must make sure that our family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers or associates vote “No” and not be mislead by the picture of Larry Elders, the Black Republican Trump supporter, who might look like some of us but is not one of us. We will deal with redistricting after September 14th and let us not forget those families and loved ones who died on “911” as well as recently in the evacuation of Afghanistan.

ITS DECISION TIME, SAN DIEGO:

Why You Must Vote in the Recall Election Satia Austin Special to California Black Media A rare event is underway in California – a special election to recall the governor.

Voters around the state have already started to return their vote-by-mail ballots. Election day, Sept. 14, will be the last chance for your voice to be heard in determining whether Gov. Gavin Newsom stays or is replaced as our state’s chief executive.

We all share one honor. That’s calling San Diego home. As your North San Diego NAACP president, I encourage all members of our community to get out and vote -- either by mail or in person at the polls.

The NAACP’s message to Black Californians is this: no matter who you choose, no matter where you’re from or what your background is, vote in this election. If you are not registered, it’s not too late to register to vote in person.

On the recall ballot, there are two questions. The first asks if you support recalling (i.e., firing) Gov. Newsom. If more than 50% of the voters support the recall, the ballot’s second question which lists all the recall candidates vying to be governor will tell us who Newsom’s replacement will be. Whoever receives the most votes will hold

San Diego Perspectives on the Sept. 14

CA Recall Election

By Dr. Edward L. Murray III and Dr. Judy Sundayo San Diego Association of Black Psychologists Today, we feel it timely to discuss the concept of the African principle of ‘s e l f - d e t e r mination’, as such relates to our obligation to vote in the upcoming recall election. The [San Diego Association of Black Psychologists] calls upon our brothers and sisters to move to act decisively and vote no in this recall election. Doing so reflects our commitment to play our part in taking charge of our future.

Here’s why you should consider voting "No" on the Recall Election.

Since he has been in office Governor Gavin Newsom has: • Placed a statewide moratorium on death penalty executions!

• Signed a bill into law making it more difficult for police to legally justify killing civilians!

• Moving forward on the closure of two correctional institutions in California • Proposed the largest budget in our State’s history, with many targeted to the poorest Californians

• Doubled the size of the California Earned Income Tax Credit, with a supplement to taxpayers with young children • Set aside billions of dollars to help Californians needing help to pay their back rent and utility bills due to the pandemic • Approved a massive increase in funding for the neediest schools • Banned the use of chlorpyrifos, a pesticide that is a neurotoxin • Made healthcare insurance subsidies available to enhance the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) • Enacted rent control cap to prevent landlords from exorbitant rent increases • Oversaw a COVID vaccination rate that is higher than all but 12 states in the country!

• During the pandemic, set the record for executive orders to keep Californians safe and that every voter would receive a ballot in the mail • Led the purchase and acquisition of a tremendous amount of protective equipment, including masks, face shields, and ventilators to ensure Californians lives were a priority!

• Signed a bill into law requiring California State University (e.g.

SDSU) students to take an ethnic studies course in order to graduate! This bill was authored by our own Dr. Shirley Weber!

So, if you would like to see positive efforts like these continue and not be overturned by those who don’t have everyday folk in mind, please vote "No" on the Recall! Make no mistake about it, this is a life and death issue on many levels for us as Black people. Remember the date for in-person voting is September 14, 2021, but early voting has already begun.

You can find your polling place at, https://rov.sandiegocounty.gov.

The San Diego Association of Black Psychologists is an organization of Black professionals in the field of psychology, or other interested persons, who have come together to advance the psychological health interests of people, particularly of Black people, such that its efforts lead to our empowerment.

the office through January 2023, the remainder of Newsom’s term.

Your vote matters because this election will decide who will be the executive in charge of the world’s fifth largest economy and responsible for public policy serving 40 million Californians.

We at the NAACP have been part of a nationwide movement that, for over a century, has fought and seen people sacrifice their lives in the struggle for voting rights for Black Americans. We stand on the shoulders of giants, people like Fred Hampton, the young activist and founder of the antiracist multi-cultural movement, Rainbow Coalition, who was murdered by the state in 1967. The FBI sprayed over 90 gunshots into Hampton’s apartment. Because of his sacrifice — and that of others fighting for racial equity — the right to vote as a US citizen should never be taken for granted.

The democratic process fails when people don’t vote.

Thankfully, our state makes voting so convenient that there is no excuse for anyone not to vote. In 2016, California lawmakers passed the Voter’s Choice Act (VCA). The VCA expanded early voting in San Diego County. Traditional polling

places have been replaced with vote centers which serve as a one-stop shops for all your voting needs.

At a vote center, you can vote in person, get help in multiple languages, cast your vote by using an accessible voting machine, and utilize same day registration.

Voters can vote at any center in the county up to 10 days before election day.

All registered San Diego County voters have been sent a ballot in the mail. Returned ballots have already been counted. The deadline for registering or re-registering for the recall election was Monday, Aug. 30. If you missed the deadline, you can “conditionally” register and vote at any vote center after the voter registration deadline, up to and including election day.

The Secretary of State’s office offers a tool to help you find early voting and ballot drop-off locations in your neighborhood. You can use the BallotTrax tool to confirm that your vote has been counted.

Vote!

Elijah McClain’s Death Shows That Public Pressure Can Never End

By David W. Marshall Founder, The Reconciled Body On the day that Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) announced a 32-count indictment in the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year Black man from Aurora, it was a day that almost didn’t happen.

In Aurora, Colorado, two police officers, one former police officer and two paramedics will face charges in the death of McClain.

The police officers and paramedics are charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Manslaughter is a Class 4 felony in Colorado punishable by up to six years in prison, while criminally negligent homicide is a Class 5 felony punishable by up to three years in prison.

On August 24, 2019, nine months before George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, Elijah McClain was walking home from a convenience store listening to music on his headset when he was approached by an officer. From that moment, every part of the system to serve and protect failed. Though McClain committed no crime, he

was immediately restrained. The officers eventually brought him to the ground, claiming he had reached for one of their guns while they were pinning him against a wall to handcuff him. The encounter escalated with McClain eventually losing consciousness as an officer applied a carotid control hold which restricts blood to the brain. And like George Floyd, he told police, “I can’t breathe” as three officers held him while handcuffed on the ground.

The law enforcement system failed. An independent panel obtained by the City Council determined that police officers who stopped McClain had no apparent reason to suspect a crime had been committed. It also determined that a subsequent internal police investigation was flawed.

The emergency medical care system failed. When medical paramedics arrived, they injected McClain with ketamine, a powerful See McClain’s page 16

Mobile Community Health Fair Saves Lives

By Barbara Smith Contributing Writer

A gathering of health professionals keen on addressing health concerns of the African American and other underserved communities filled the parking lot of the Jackie Robinson YMCA last Wednesday for their monthly Community Health & Resource Fair. Organized

by Dr. Suzanne Afflalo, retired Kaiser physician and Alliance Health Center Medical Director, services offered include vaccination clinics, youth sports physicals, blood pressure check, diabetes and cholesterol screening, Rapid COVID19 testing, breast education and exams, and food distribution. Appointments were scheduled for mammograms, which are offered every other month in the even months of the year. All 3 COVID vaccines for 12 and older were available.

The Health Fair inaugurated its community outreach in 2017 but shut down from March 2020 to January 2021 in compliance with pandemic restrictions.

Now health advocates are redoubling efforts the first Wednesday of each month to bring a myriad of important free medical services to Black and underserved communities.

“Heart disease and stroke are very high in the African American community,” said

Semise Daley, First Vice President, San Diego Black Nurses Association, whose booth drew inquiries from attendees. The organization’s Heart to Heart program, which partners with Kaiser, brings cardiovascular disease awareness through Zoom conferences to the Black and underserved communities that are at higher risk for cardiovascular issues. The Mobile Health Fair is a big way to raise awareness. “We want to be sure our people are being taken care of. We want to educate those who come here so that they can in turn educate family members,” added Daley. More people who died with COVID had an underlying diagnosis of high blood pressure or hypertension. That’s why our efforts are so high in getting the vaccine out.”

Wendy Shurelds, founder of Many Shades of Pink, which offers breast health support for women of color, and co-founder of the monthly C ommunity Health & Resource Fair, is passionate about connecting women to life saving resources. A six-year breast cancer survivor, Shurelds founded Many Shades of Pink to promote breast education and early detection. “African American women in the US are more likely to die from breast cancer than white

women,” she says. We have boots on the ground here with monthly breast cancer support groups and do all we can to advocate for breast health education.”

COVID-19 infections are on the rise again due to the Delta Variant, which, by the end of July was the cause of more than 80% of new U.S. COVID-19 cases, according to CDC estimates. With 98-99% of the recent COVID-19 illnesses, h o s p i t a l i z at i o n s Wendy Shurelds, and deaths being Many Shades of Pink of unvaccinated people, there is an urgency to educate and vaccinate. “We want to spread the word so our community can benefit from the free resources and the necessary life-saving medical screening services here,” said Dr. Afflalo.”

LOCAL/STATE NEWS Workforce Partnership, City Announce Stimulus Payments Youth Workforce Development System on the Way 2ND GOLDEN STATE

2020 national data show unemployment rate for young workers jumped from 8.4% to 24.4% Voice & Viewpoint Newswire On September 7, the San Diego Workforce Partnership, with support from the City of San Diego and local elected officials, announced a new workforce development system to provide workforce development services to young San Diegans. The COVID-19 crisis has both highlighted and exacerbated the existing inequalities challenging young people. According

to the Economic Policy Institute, young workers, as well as recent high school and college graduates, have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, resulting in high unemployment and uncertain futures.

This new program will serve all San Diegans ages 16 to 24 regardless of income or background to help them secure a quality job and jumpstart their careers through community-focused workforce

development, education, training and employment opportunities. More robust services are also available for four populations with high rates of disconnection: • Black youth • Youth experiencing homelessness • Immigrant, refugee and/or English language learner youth • Justice-involved youth Additionally, four community-based organizations have

been awarded contracts by the San Diego Workforce Partnership to serve specific populations: • YMCA of San Diego County: Black youth • San Diego Youth Services: Yo u t h experiencing Homelessness • San Diego Continuing Education Foundation: Immigrant, refugee and/or English language learner youth • South Bay Community Services: Justice-involved youth The new workforce development system is made possible by a $1 million investment from the City of San Diego as well as funding through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Joining the Workforce Partnership will be a lineup of local elected officials, an employer and a young San Diego worker.

Together, they will announce critical investments that will bring employment services, training and education to young San Diegans throughout the region. To learn more, please visit workforce. org/getajob.

ARTS & CULTURE San Diego Arts and Culture Commission Reestablished

Photo Source: County of San Diego

More equitable funding and support for County arts & culture programs anticipated billion to California’s economy, representing 7% of our state’s GDP.

Voice & Viewpoint Newswire The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve the reestablishment of the Arts and Culture Commission paving the way for a more equitable approach to funding and support of arts and culture programs in the County. The

board letter directs the Chief Administrative Officer to reassess the County’s role for supporting the arts and culture and identify new opportunities for funding.

The Arts and Culture Commission in San Diego County will serve as an agency to elevate the county as an international and mul-

ticultural powerhouse in arts, culture, and design. It will also play an integral part in boosting the economy while helping create vibrant and thriving communities.

From an economic standpoint, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that the arts and culture sector contributes $185.5

“Arts and culture are such an integral part of our community. Through programs that foster creativity and expression, we can help alleviate many of the issues that currently exist in our communities,” said Supervisor Nora Vargas, Vice Chair of the Board.

“The arts play a vital role in showcasing the culture of many communities and give young people an outlet to constructively express themselves,” said Nathan Fletcher, Chair, San

Diego County Board of Supervisors. “Reestablishing the County’s presence as an active participant in the arts community will help to create greater equity in the arts, allow us to draw down more state and federal resources, and give us a stronger platform to support the many arts nonprofits and institutions in our region.”

This board letter will direct the Chief Administrative Officer to: • Assess the role the County plays in arts and culture, including how Community Enhancement Grants are awarded to arts and culture programs

• Identify opportunities to leverage state and federal funding • Look at how to increase equity in access to arts and culture in the region and capitalize on the economic potential of an increased arts and culture program throughout the county to build equity • To report back to the board in 90 days and recommend how to expand the County’s role in promoting and participating in arts and culture opportunities, including the creation of a Commission on Arts and Culture

Actor Michael K. Williams, Dead at 54 Film and TV icon starred in ‘The Wire’ and ‘Lovecraft Country’

By Nsenga K. Burton, Ph.D. NNPA Culture and Entertainment Editor The internet is buzzing with news that iconic actor Michael K. Williams has died. Multiple media outlets including The Hollywood Reporter are reporting the celebrated actor who played some of the most interesting and complicated characters on television including Omar on The Wire (HBO), Chalky White on Boardwalk Empire (HBO), Montrose Freeman on Lovecraft Country (HBO), Bobby McCray in When They See Us (Netflix), Jack Gee in

Bessie (HBO) and Leonard Pine in Hap and Leonard (AMC), was found dead today in his apartment. Born in Brooklyn to a Bahamian mother and father from Greenville, SC, Williams starred in over 111 productions. He trained as an actor with the National Black Theater Company in New York City.

Williams, who was known for a scar down the front of his face which he got in a bar fight in his twenties,

was discovered by the late actor and rapper Tupac Shakur. He was cast as High Top, the brother and henchman to Shakur’s drug kingpin Tank, in the film Bullet (1996). He also appeared in numerous music videos of superstars like George Michael and Madonna and was photographed by world-famous photographer David LaChappelle. A star of many talents, Williams also choreographed Crystal Water’s 1994 single, “100%

Pure Love.” Williams credits his childhood friend Dana “Queen Latifah” Owens as his inspiration for getting into the music business.

Williams received three Primetime Emmy awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his work in Bessie (2015), The Night Of (2016) and When They See Us (2019). The thespian also won a Screen Actors Guild award for Outstanding

Ensemble in Television for his role as Chalky White on Boardwalk Empire and most recently won the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role

as Montrose Freeman in Lovecraft Country.

Williams was in a long-term relationship with actress and director Tasha Smith at the time of his passing. He was 54.

By Rodney Ho The Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP In the early 1960s, firebrand preacher Malcolm X and boxing phenom Cassius Clay became close friends, a fascinating relationship that fell apart and never was repaired before Malcolm X was killed by an assassin in 1965. That relationship is explored in detail in a new Netflix documentary coming out Sept. 9 called “Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali.” The documentary by Marcus A. Clarke relies heavily on a 2016 book, also called “Blood Brothers,” co-authored by Georgia Tech associate history professor Johnny Smith and his former academic advisor Purdue University history professor Randy Roberts. Both were consultants on the film and Smith was happy with the final result.

“Being able to participate and tell the story through a different medium was fascinating and fun,” said Smith in an interview with The Atlanta JournalConstitution. For Ali, Smith said, “this was a really fascinating period in his life as he evolved from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali. He was a man of many masks.”

Ali was a gold medalist for Team USA at the 1960 Rome Olympics, then became a comic braggart known as

the Louisville Lip. But while he was known for spouting memorably absurd poetry to boxing writers, he had become interested in the teachings of the Nation of Islam as a way to understand where he stood as a Black man in America.

Secretly, Clay began meeting with the leaders and struck up a friendship with Nation of Islam’s Malcolm X, who was intrigued by Clay’s fame and potential to bring more followers to the cause.

The documentary provides added perspective from figures such as civil rights activist Al Sharpton, historian and Harvard University professor Cornel West and University of Southern California professor of cinema and media studies Todd Boyd.

“Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali were the two most freest of Black men in the 20th century,” said West in the doc. “On the other hand, there’s a cross to bear. There is a tremendous cost to being a free and loving person.”

“It was a moment of transition and Ali is really at the forefront of this transition, as is Malcolm,” Boyd said.

“They’re changing the way the world saw the Black man.”

The doc shows Ali in the 1960s proclaiming: “I’m free

to be what I wanna be and think what I wanna think.”

Malcolm X boldly critiqued the dominance of white society in a way that made many whites and even some Blacks uncomfortable. “By nature he is evil,” Malcolm X said in an archival clip, referencing the white man.

One person the documentary got to interview that Smith did not: Muhammad Ali’s younger brother Rahman Ali, who recalled Malcolm X himself. “He had that air about him,” the younger Ali said. “It was divine. The electricity that came from his body was sacred.”

Smith called Ali’s brother a compelling interview and his voice and intonations evoke his brother, who lost his ability to vocalize his thoughts with the bravado of yore once Parkinson’s Disease set in. The daughters of both men also received plenty of airtime and are passionate and eloquent.

In 1964, Malcolm X sharply critiqued the behavior of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad and was booted from the organization. Ali sided with Muhammad and disavowed Malcolm X. “Some viewers will be surprised how vengeful and vindictive Ali was after

Malcolm was m u r d e r e d ,” Smith said. “He declared him the enemy.”

Only years later did Ali begin to regret the e s t r a n g e m e nt .

Smit h t hinks the daughters of both men made him shift his thinking.

“Those young women forced him to confront part of his past,” Smith said.

Smith said the best interview he got for his book was “Captain” Sam Saxon, who ran a mosque in Miami in the early 1960s while Clay was training there for a boxing match and introduced Clay to Malcolm X. While doing research for the book seven years ago, Smith knew Saxon was still alive but was having trouble tracking him down.

By pure coincidence, Smith was flying to a friend’s wedding in Detroit and was sitting at a gate at HartsfieldJackson International Airport when he saw a man in a wheelchair wearing a glistening ring with “ALI” embossed on it. Smith quickly figured out it was Saxon.

Smith introduced himself and said, “I’ve been looking all over for you.”

Saxon replied: “That’s what they call divine intervention, my brother.”

Saxon was there when Clay defeated Sonny Liston in Miami and decided to change his name to Ali. “He told us many stories he hadn’t told before,” Smith said.

Smith and Roberts also sifted through thousands of pages of FBI documents.

While the FBI didn’t follow Ali, they did track both Malcolm X and Muhammad so Ali would show up. For a time, he hid his relationship

with the Nation of Islam, fearful it would jeopardize his chances of winning the heavyweight title.

The film and the book try to be fair to both men, revealing both their flaws and strengths, Smith said.

“It’s important we don’t whitewash or sanitize our heroes,” he said, noting how Ali was deified by the time he lit the Olympic torch at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

(Ali died in 2016.)

“By that time Ali was robbed of his greatest gift: his voice,” Smith said. “That silence was filled by corporations and Hollywood that changed the way we looked at him.”

Addressing San Diego’s Opioid Epidemic continued from cover

SAN DIEGO AND THE OPIATE CRISIS In 2019, there were 151 recorded deaths attributed to drug overdoses in San Diego. Comparatively, in 2020, there were 457 fentanyl-related overdose deaths.

That’s a giant 202 percent increase in just one year. The Black/African American community made up 23 percent of those deaths, second only to Native American/ Alaska Natives, who made up 34 percent.

Tara Stamos-Buesig, founder and executive director of the Harm Reduction Coalition of San Diego, says that the COVID-19 Pandemic has created a perfect storm for drug users, who tend to use more when they are isolated, under stress, or afraid of outside stigma. But what’s truly killing people, in numbers that have never been seen before, is one thing: fentanyl.

According to the County News Center, San Diego’s opioid crisis has mainly involved prescription opioids, but synthetic opioids such as fentanyl are now extremely prevalent, with an 82 percent increase in deaths involving fentanyl.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) defines fentanyl as a powerful synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine, but 50 to 100 times more potent.

It can be found in prescription form and given legally to patients in extreme pain, such as after certain types of surgeries. Fentanyl can also be made and used illegally.

It is now being found more and more in drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and MDMA, as it is a cheap and effective additive. Because of the potency of fentanyl, it is extremely easy for users to become

Today people are dying. We can’t just babysit someone better or leave them alone; it doesn’t matter, with a fentanyl overdose they are going to die.”

WHAT YOU CAN DO While in an ideal world, there would be no drug addiction or overdoses, the reality is far different.

VOLUNTEER: April Ella, Director of Operations at A New PATH and Naloxone Training and Distribution Program Manager, began her journey in 2014 with the organization in a completely random way: “I had no background in this at all, I was Gretchen’s (Co-Founder and Executive Director of A New PATH) assistant for fashion show productions and someone had left In a New PATH and I kind of just filled that spot,” she said. “We thought it was just going to be an interim thing but the need was so high after the Narcan pro-

IMPLEMENT HA R M RE­DUCTION: Harm reduction is defined as a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Typically, this involves safe needle exchanges, the use of drug testing kits to see if your drugs are pure, and the use of Narcan. Narcan, also known by it’s generic name Naloxone, has been called a ‘miracle’ drug because it can literally bring someone back from the brink of death. The drug rapidly reverses an opioid overdose by binding to and blocking opiate receptors in the human body, allowing the lungs to begin breathing again

and oxygen to begin flowing to the brain. It has no side effects and is safe to be given in multiple doses if needed.

It is easy to use and the most immediate and effective way to save someone’s life from an opiate overdose.

Gretchen Burns Bergman, Co-Founder and Executive Director of A New PATH, has high hopes for the future of San Diego. She praised our local leaders and our Health and Human Services for advocating for the adoption of harm reduction services.

“Nathan Fletcher is helping push that agenda. I think San Diego typically is very conservative. I’ve been doing this work for 22 years and I know that we could have probably gotten a lot more accomplished in that time but I would say that now, things are really open. I want to support those people that our helping to open that up.

Things happen way slower than I would like to see but I have to applaud when I do see positive change.”

“We are a little bit behind the jurisdictions in other counties—LA and San Francisco, when you think about what they’re really doing out there. So this is my call to action to ask everybody to get trained with Narcan,” added Ella. “I don’t care if you think you’ll never need it—it is better to have and not need than to need and not have. Not one more, no more overdoses.”

HOW TO USE NARCAN AND WHERE TO FIND IT Narcan is easy to use and extremely effective at preventing deaths from opiate overdoses.

Determine if a person is actually overdosing. A person who is actively overdosing will not respond to external stimuli, such as a

sternal rub. Rub the sternum of the overdosing person with your knuckles; if they do not respond, then they are in trouble and need narcan.

Narcan comes in a nasal spray. Place the nozzle in the nostril of the overdosing person and push the plunger all the way up. You do not need to move or place the person in any position, just administer the Narcan any way you can.

Call 9-1-1, even if the person says they are okay.

Narcan only stays in the body for about 45 minutes, after which the person may begin to overdose again as the opiate receptors in the body become unblocked. It is imperative to get the person into emergency treatment after administering Narcan. TIP: When calling 9-1-1, do not give any other details besides saying that a person is unconscious and not breathing. This typically causes a faster response time and they are less likely to involve law enforcement when sending an ambulance.

In May 2021, the County News Center reported that nasal Naloxone would begin to be offered to the general public at several community-based locations and clinics throughout the region at no cost. Until the program is put in place, people who would like to be trained and given free narcan can contact April Ella at A New PATH: 619-670-1184 or april@anewpath.org SD V&V coverage of local news in San Diego County is supported by the Ethnic Media Sustainability Initiative, a program created by California Black Media and Ethnic Media Services to support minority-owned-and-operated community newspapers across California.

SD Emergency App Users Now Can Have Earthquake Early Warning

By Yvette Urrea Moe County of San Diego The C ounty of San Diego’s SD Emergency app is now equipped with ShakeReadySD, an earthquake early warning system.

This will let users know if an earthquake has occurred nearby that is likely to cause shaking within seconds and it will urge them to take protective action such as drop, cover and hold on or another appropriate safety measure.

County officials were joined by a United States Geological Survey scientist Wednesday to roll out the improved mobile app at the County’s Emergenc y Operations Center in Kearny Mesa.

“ShakeReadySD is a new feature of our SD Emergency app,” said County Board of Supervisors Chairman Nathan Fletcher. “This is an early warning system that has the potential to give users a few seconds warning

or a heads up that an earthquake is coming. And that advance warning could make all the difference. It could give you a number of seconds to be able to move your family, your friends into a safe place and help avoid serious injury. “We really want to encourage people to download the application today, allow the notifications and put yourself in the best possible situation to be able to respond in the event of an earthquake.”

The County Office of Emergency Services has been working with the U.S. Geological Survey on the alert for more than a year. USGS has a network of more than 770 underground sensors and other technologies built to protect residents and visitors throughout California as part of its ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning system, which powers the ShakeReadySD component

of the SD Emergency App. This is the first time the ShakeAlert® system has been integrated into an existing emergency app.

of Emergency Services.

“And our SD Emergency app is a one-of-a-kind tool designed to provide all San Diegans valuable informa-

tion before, during, and after disasters – all in the palm of your hand.” The ShakeReadySD technology is designed to trigger an alert to your cellphone if you are

in a location close enough to an earthquake with a magnitude 4.5 or greater with a shaking intensity of 3 or greater. Following the alert, the app could provide emergency notifications such as road closures, shelters or other relevant critical information as needed.

Since it is tied to the statewide system of s ens ors, it will work anywhere in the state to alert people about imminent shaking.

“ShakeReadySD can save lives and reduce injuries by giving people time to take a protective action like drop, cover, and hold on, or move away from hazardous

areas,” said Robert-Michael de Groot of the USGS. “We look forward to working with San Diego County to provide real-time earthquake early warning alerts powered by ShakeAlert.”

In order for the new feature to work, users who already have the app will need to update it and then configure the settings including selecting English or Spanish and allowing the app to always track the phone’s location so it can accurately alert the user if an earthquake with moderate to strong shaking is expected in the area. If you have not yet downloaded SD Emergency, you only need to install the latest version on their mobile devices and configure the settings. The app is now available for iOs and Android phones and is free. Visit readysandiego.org to learn more

INTERNATIONAL NEWS FRIENDS OF MOROCCAN ‘GNAWA’ MUSIC RALLY TO SAVE CULTURAL ICON

Vaccines Made in South Africa to Stay in Africa, Says Envoy

Global Information Network

By Rodney Muhumuza Associated Press

Aug. 23, 2021 (GIN) Rooted in healing rituals and Sufism, the hypnotic sounds of Gnawa music have attracted artists and musicians of all stripes - from Jazz Age poet Claude McKay to Archie Shepp, Ornette Coleman and the legendary Randy Weston.

Dar Gnawa - or Gnawa House - is a one-of-a kind three-story Moorish-style building built in Tangier, Morocco, in the 1850s. It’s a cultural center for Gnawa music, making it the first officially recognized center devoted to celebrating and preserving the music of the descendants of slaves in Morocco.

The head of Dar Gnawa is the 75-year old Abdellah El

Gourd, a world-renowned musician and elder statesman of the Gnawa tradition in Morocco. Coming from a family of Gnawa practitioners, El Gourd has lived in Dar Gnawa since 1953.

In 1967, El Gourd met the late pianist Weston and the two would go on to forge one of the greatest partnerships in music, touring around the world, performing a mix of Gnawa and jazz, collaborating on multiple recordings, including the Grammy-nominated “Gnawa Musicians of Morocco” (1992) For decades, 75-year old Abdellah El Gourd and his family lived on the second and third floors of Dar Gnawa, while the first floor

courtyard, open to the public, was where the recording and jam sessions would take place.

In February 2021, El Gourd was asked to temporarily evacuate his home while renovation of Dar Gnawa takes place. He moved his children and grandchildren to a nearby apartment. Six months later, the construction and renovation work has yet to start. El Gourd’s rent has not been subsidized as promised.

Most troubling, tiles and chandeliers have been stripped from the house, and the owner of an adjacent building has used this opportunity to knock down a second-floor balcony and staircase of Dar Gnawa, in

Vaccine doses produced by a plant in South Africa will no longer be exported to Europe following the intervention of South Africa’s government, the African Union’s COVID-19 vaccine envoy, Strive Masiyiwa, said on September 1, 2021. South African drug manufacturer Aspen Pharmacare, which has a contract with Johnson & Johnson, will produce for the African continent and millions of doses that had been shipped to European countries but remain in warehouses will be returned, Masiyiwa told reporters.

J&J doses produced in South Africa “will stay in Africa and will be distributed in Africa,” he said at an online press briefing for the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The arrangement for some doses finished in South Africa to be exported to Europe “has been suspended,” he said, adding that the issue was “corrected in a positive way.” Aspen’s agreement with Johnson & Johnson has changed from a contract deal

to “a licensed arrangement” similar to the production in India of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Johnson & Johnson was heavily criticized for shipping doses to countries in Europe, which have already immunized large numbers of their people. In contrast, Africa has fully vaccinated less than 3% of its 1.3 billion people. Vaccine production within the continent is seen as key to meeting the stated target of vaccinating 60% of Africa’s population. Half of those doses are expected to be procured under a vaccine acquisition group backed by the African Union that has already ordered 400 million J&J doses.

Under that deal, in which doses will be distributed over 12 months, 6.4 million doses were shipped in August and the number could rise to 20 million in September, according to Masiyiwa, coordinator of the African Union group known as the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust.

“In Africa, the issue is vaccine supply,” he said. “Even if there are loud noises about vaccine hesitancy — and we

will not dismiss it — but let’s get to 60%, OK, and then we worry about the 40%,” he said. “But if 60% of our population right now are happy to take the vaccine, let’s give it to them.”

Masiyiwa accused the international community of letting Africa down with COVAX, a United Nations and donor-backed program envisaged to help middleand low-income countries access vaccines. COVAX has fallen short of its goals and some countries are “still significantly hoarding supplies” of vaccine doses, charged Masiyiwa. “COVAX was supposed to deliver 320 million doses by August. In a letter to us that we received only yesterday, that number is 30 million doses,” he said.

John Nkengasong, head of the Africa CDC, said the continent must “vaccinate quickly” to defeat the pandemic as the delta and other variants spread in many countries and stretch the capacity of health facilities.

Africa’s 54 countries have reported more than 7.8 million cases, including more than 197,000 deaths.

5 of 73 Abducted Nigerian students rescued

By Chinedu Asadu Associated Press Authorities have rescued five girls who were among 73 school children ab duc te d t his week in northwest Nigeria and reunited them with their parents, police said on S eptemb er 2, 2021. The 73 students were abducted from their school on Wednesday by gunmen, prompting the Zamfara government to shut down all primary and secondary schools in the state.

Zamfara police spokesman Mohammed Shehu did not say how the five students from the Government Day School in Kaya had been

freed, except saying only that it happened while authorities were searching for the abducted students.

By Chinedu Asadu Associated Press The recent release of three groups of students who had been abducted in northern Nigeria brought joyful reunions and hope that others might soon be freed.

Just days later, on September 1, 2021, gunmen again attacked a school in the northwest, taking 73 new hostages. Before the attack, some 1,000 students had been kidnapped in school abductions since December and UNICEF says some 200 are believed to still be in captivity.

WHO ARE THE CRIMINALS BEHIND THESE ABDUCTIONS? G ov e r n m e nt o f f i c i a l s describe the gunmen carrying out the attacks as “bandits” but any connection there is between them remains unclear. School kidnappings have taken place in nine different states, and targets have included everyone from preschoolers to university students. Three different groups of hostages in three separate states — Niger, Kaduna and Zamfara — were all released within 24

hours of each other. That led some to question whether it was coincidence or a sign that these “bandits” in fact have ties to one another.

Observers said the gunmen appear to be young men from the Fulani ethnic group. Some say they took up arms because their communities have been neglected by the Nigerian government. Other kidnappers, however, are simply opportunists who just want to make money from ransom payments, according to Idayat Hassan, who leads the Center for Democracy and Development, a West Africa-focused research organization.

BUT ARE THEY LINKED TO ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS? Many believed there was a difference between the Islamic extremists in the northeast, who were motivated by ideology, and the bandits in the northwest believed to be after money.

However, freed captives have shared details that somebandits share extremist beliefs with the Boko Haram group, whose name means

“Western education is forbidden” in the local Hausa language.

Victory Sani, one of the students released in May after being abducted from her school in Kaduna state, said her captors warned her to stay home. “They asked us not to go back to school, that they will make sure they shut down all the schools in Kaduna state,” said Sani, 20.

“And if we go back there (to the school), they will still come back for us. And if they get us, we are not coming back again.”

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER? Schools are sparse in the north and many parents send their children to boarding schools far from home.

Even with security, these facilities are vulnerable to gunmen. The head teacher at Salihu Tanko Islamiyya school in Niger state said a payment of more than 30 million naira (about $73,000) had been made to secure the children’s release.

Abubakar Alhassan said families came up with most of the money, and the school raised some cash, too.

Oluwaseyi Adetayo, a security expert and former officer of the Nigerian secret police Department of State Services, says the bandits have found it far too lucrative to abduct children. “It is paying them more than what any of them could imagine they can ever earn in their life,” said Adetayo. “It is an established chain of business already.”

COMMUNITY Monoclonal Antibody Centers Will Bring Relief to San Diegans with CoVid health conditions. They are administered by either a shot or through an IV, depending on the patient’s needs.

By A.L. Haynes Contributing Writer On August 30th, the first of San Diego County’s new Mono cl on a l A nt ib o dy Regional Centers (MARCs) officially opened. These centers will provide COVID19 testing, monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19, and CoVid-19 reinfection and related illness prevention. The county has been providing these services for months, but plans to step-up monoclonal antibody treatments in the hopes of lessening the impact of new CoVid cases.

OG Sandbox Labor Day Picnic and Backpack Giveaway

By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer Since 1996, the OG Sandbox organization has been closing out the summers with their annual free labor day picnic.

The last few years, they have used the opportunity to extend their community generosity and concern by giving out free backpacks and school supplies.

As usual, the OG Picnic at Mountain View Park resembled a car show, fashion show, hometown buffet spread and a Southeast San Diego family reunion.

“One of the main reasons I come here each year is to see friends and acquaintances I haven’t seen in years,” OG Marquette Kelly shared.

“You can come here and see people you haven’t seen in twenty are thirty years. This function is very important to me.”

The people that gathered at the park were able to end this stress-filled year with one last toast to the summer.

“There weren’t as many people here this year.

Some people were still concerned about the COVID situation, and that’s understandable,” said OG Sandbox VP Darnell Meals. “I wish some more kids had come, because we have a lot of backpacks left over.

But I had a good time. It was cool to see some of the homies, eat some good food and have some fun with your loved ones.”

over a century. The County of San Diego describes them as “proteins made in a lab that help boost the immune system to fight viruses”. They rose to prominence in the 1970s, but were used largely for laboratory studies rather than in medi cal applications until the late 1990s. They are proven to be effective in treating diseases that are resistant to medicine or that have no treatments yet, but must be administered early in the infection.

Like vaccinations, MAbs for CoVid are currently onlyallowed for people aged 12 and older who weigh at least 88 lbs. They must be given within the first 10 days of catching CoVid, and priority is for unvaccinated and immune-compromised individuals with underlying

There are currently nine recognized CoVid variants globally, with four of the variants already in the USA - Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. San Diego currently has cases of the Alpha, Gamma, and Delta variants. The Delta variant first appeared in San Diego in April 2021 and has already reached around 2000 cases and 18 deaths for this variant alone. Around 8% of the Delta cases have been centered in San Diego’s Black community. Of huge concern at this time is the evidence that MAb treatments are less effective against the Delta and Alpha variants.

Nonetheless, timely treatment with MAbs can prevent hospitalization and death.

San Diego County Public Health Officer, Dr. Wilma J. Wooten, noted that, “While not a replacement for vaccination, this no-cost procedure can reduce the risk of COVID-19-related hospital visits and help those sick with the virus feel better faster”.

There are currently four MARCs up and running: Vista Community Clinic,

Palomar Medical Center Downtown (Escondido), Family Health Centers of San Diego Hillcrest, and Family Health Centers of San Diego Chula Vista. A fifth MARC at Clairemont Friendship Center is scheduled to open soon. At this time, the County is not providing data about age or race of people who have received the treatments.

San Diego is providing MAb treatments for free to anyone who meets the medical criteria, regardless of insurance and immigration status. Patients must be recommended to the nearest MARC by their primary care provider (PCP) or healthcare system. If your PCP cannot provide a recommendation, or you do not have one, patients can try calling (619) 685-2500. As with all other CoVid-related services, Medi-Cal transportation programs are available.

ity craft, in 2017, the Chula Vista Brewery was born.

Parker, a 20-year Navy veteran, acquired a taste for craft beers during his military travels. Returning home and settling in Chula Vista with wife Dali, he and his buddies grew tired of having to travel outside the South Bay to satisfy their taste for craft beers.

Parker is keen on serving the South Bay community he loves and has filled a hole in bringing the art of craft beer to African American, Asian and Latino enthusiasts; communities typically not recognized as a craft beer market.

He maintains close ties with the local military, who are frequent Brewery patrons, often hosting a friendly farewell to a member whose post has been moved to another area.

Parker attributes networking with the local community as one key to success.

“As a business owner you are always building relationships…Go see your local community bank and build relationships there,” he advises, rather than going to larger institutions who may not be willing to take a chance on an unknown.

“Talk to your local politicians and your local Chamber of Commerce because you never know when you might need to turn around and ask for help,” he adds. “I’m a big believer in positive attracts positive. If someone comes to you for help, I think you should give it because you get it back tenfold. A lot of small businesses do better when surrounded by other successful businesses.” In a business landscape that can be impersonal and cutthroat, Parker’s “pay it forward” attitude has served him well. His business has helped revitalize Third Ave. and he sees this as a win-win for all.

About 500 people or more, along with vendors, provided a much needed relief for a community still coming out of lockdown. People wore face masks even though most said they had been vaccinated. The music was a mixture of smooth jazz and John Philip’s masterful DJ skills.

Saturday’s headliner was Patrice Rushen and Friends with Mayford Griffin, Paul Jackson, Jr. Michael Paulo and Freddie Washington.

There was also Lamont Dozier, Jr. and Kendrick Dial & Lyrical Grove.

The V.I.P. dinner service provided by Paving Great Futures was outstanding on both days and was a masterful display of the organization’s culinary skills.

Sunday provided another day of outstanding entertainment with Laval Belle & Friends, David P. Stevens, Lin Rountree and Marqueal Jordan with Ronnie Laws as the featured artist. The sponsors along with Mandate Records were the City of San Diego, County of San Diego, GOD Radio, Union Bank, the Jacobs Center, San Diego Voice & Viewpoint Newspaper, the law firm of Antonnete Middleton, and the law firm of Oden & Greene, which has been a sponsor for the past nine years of the event.

Dr. Leonard Thompson III used the occasion on Saturday to recognize First Responders, among whom have served so bravely during the pandemic. Dr. Thompson also gave out four special awards to Mrs. Francine Maxwell, President of the San Diego Branch of the NAACP; Dr. Suzanne Affalo, Md. for her tireless work as a physician and community resource; Dr. Jerome Robinson, Md. who has been a tireless leader to such organizations as the NAACP and Black Men & Women United; along with Dr. John Warren, Publisher of the Voice & Viewpoint, which has kept us informed during these difficult times.

Plans are already underway for next year.

HEALTHY LIVING/EDUCATION Preventing Childhood Obesity: 5 Things You Can Do at Home September is National Childhood Obesity Month Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Photo: CDC

Obesity is a complex disease with many contributing factors, but there are ways parents and caregivers can help children on their journey to good health. About 1 in 5 American children has obesity. Children with obesity are at a higher risk for asthma, sleep apnea, bone and joint problems, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

Children with obesity are also more likely to experience bullying, social isolation, depression, and lower self-esteem. While there is no simple solution, there are many ways parents and caregivers can help children reach a healthy weight.

Eat the Rainbow Having a healthy diet can help children get the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development, and help them reach a healthy weight. A healthy diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat or fatfree dairy. In 2017, just 2% of high school students ate enough vegetables, and 7% ate enough fruit. Help your

kids eat the rainbow: make half of their plate fruits and vegetables for optimal health.

Move More Compared to those who are inactive, physically active youth have stronger muscles and better cardiovascular fitness. They also typically have lower body fat and stronger bones. Regular physical activity in childhood also reduces the risk of depression. Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

Slow Down on Sugar Most of us eat and drink too many added sugars, which can lead to health problems such as weight gain and obesity, type 2 diabetes, and

heart disease. Children under age 2 should have no added sugar in their diet at all, and children over age 2 should keep sugars to less than 10% of their daily calories. Avoid sugary drinks like soda, juice drinks, and flavored milk. Help your kids rethink their drink by offering water, plain low-fat milk, or 100% juice instead.

North Island Credit Union encourages San Diego county

teachers who have an innovative class project idea to apply for a credit union grant through its bi-annual

Students have until September 16th to register a 2 to 4 member team Voice & Viewpoint Newswire

Adults and children spend over 7 hours a day being sedentary. Many of these sedentary hours are spent sitting or laying down on a phone, tablet, or computer; watching TV; or playing video games (also known as screen time). Too much screen time has health consequences: it’s associated with poor sleep, weight gain, lower grades in school, and poor mental health in youth.

Have a child, family member or friend who attends an HBCU and loves coding? Registration is now open for the first hackathon for students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Beginning September 23, the seven-day virtual competition challenges students to develop and pitch tech solutions that help consumers overcome obstacles on their journey to find a home.

Nearly $90,000 in cash and prizes is up for grabs as students gain real-world experience in the technology industry.

Sleep Well Good sleep is critical to prevent type 2 diabetes, obesity, injuries, poor mental health, and problems with attention and behavior. Children 6-12 years old need 9-12 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night and youth 13-18 need 8-10 hours. Too little sleep is associated with obesity because inadequate sleep can make us eat more and be less active. Help your children sleep better by making sure they’re active during the day, removing screens from their bedrooms, and setting a consistent sleep schedule.

Kids imitate the adults in their lives. Be a role model for them by adopting these healthy habits, and they will too!

Teacher Grant program. The grant program is available to full-time teachers in San Diego and Riverside counties, or credit union members teaching in California, looking to fund special learning opportunities for their students.

The project should have clearly defined learning objectives tied to students’ academic needs, display creativity, and benefit a significant number of students. Ten North Island Credit Union grants of $500 each will be awarded to area teachers in October in the fall program. Teachers can find more information and apply online at northisland.ccu.com/teachergrant.

The application deadline is October 1, 2021.

Zillow, in collaboration with United Negro College

Fund (UNCF) and Black Tech Ventures (BTV), will host the HBCU Housing Hackathon to help students develop their skills through workshops, hands-on enrichment, mentorship, and teamwork. The hackathon is open to both students with advanced computer coding experience as well as those with little or no coding experience.

Teams can have as many as four members, and although registration is open to HBCU students in any degree program, each team must have at least one member enrolled in a computer science, computer engineering, or related program.

At the end of the event, team finalists will pitch their solutions to a panel of judges. The first-place team will receive a $20,000 cash award, split among its members, and Zillow will donate $25,000 to its school’s computer science program.

Second and third place teams will receive $12,000 and $6,000 cash awards, respectively. Students from the top three teams also will receive new laptops, textbook gift cards and AfroTech World 2021 conference tickets.

During the hackathon, the BTV team will also provide mentoring and coaching for the HBCU student-led teams. “We started BTV as an organization dedicated to supporting startup and tech entrepreneurship among HBCU students and alum, particularly those pursuing STEM careers,” says Jaye Espy, co-founder of BTV and director of Programs and Operations. “Our mission is to encourage and empower more Black Americans to leverage their skills as they embark on their entrepreneurial journey.”

BLACK HISTORY 1739

THE STONO REBELLION The largest uprising of enslaved people in the British colonies destined to become the USA began early in the morning when 20 Black slaves met near the Stono River. They took guns, powder, and bullets from a nearby store, killing the shopkeepers in the process. They then headed south in an attempt to reach freedom in Spanish-claimed Florida.

ARTICLE CONTINUATION Feared: continued from cover

Unfortunately, racial trauma continues to fester in schools throughout the state and the nation. Grossmont Union High School District is one such example. Last Tuesday, two students were engaged in an altercation during lunch.

The fight was captured on video by multiple students and posted on social media, which can be seen here.

In an attempt to break up the fight, the school resource officer came in between the two students and pushed them both to separate ends of the lunchroom. What happened next is beyond comprehensible. The School Resource Officer (SRO) visibly placed his forearm on the Black female student’s neck to physically restrain her and then at some point, placed his knee on her neck.

The photo, which we found on the NAACP San Diego Branch’s website, compares a young Black female student to George Floyd.

on the march, swelling the ranks to nearly 100.

A posse of slave owners was organised by late afternoon and went after the group. Over 50 people, both Black and white, were killed in the confrontation. The overall result was a temporary ban on slave imports and much harsher slave codes.

But if you expect to be among the Californians who exercise their civic duty in person at the polls on Sept. 14, there are rules you need to follow and rights you have that workers at the polls must respect.

sedative. The amount of ketamine given was inappropriate and was for someone 77 pounds heavier than the 143-pound McClain. The indictment stated that the paramedics failed to follow medical protocols before and after they injected McClain.

McClain was already handcuffed when medics arrived at the scene. The paramedics did not talk to McClain, check his vital signs or properly monitor him after giving him the powerful drug. McClain went into cardiac arrest and died a few days later.

Francine Maxwell, the president of the NAACP San Diego Branch said the following in a statement: “Have we as a society learned nothing about excessive force? Are we still, after all this time, willing to allow reckless and dangerous amounts of force to be used by “peace” officers? Are we really ok with this level of force being used against children?

responsive and caring of Black children, period. Our students can no longer afford parttime contracted therapists and social workers on campus.

up 31% of all school arrests nationwide.

To put it into perspective, Black children and adolescents encounter trauma not just on the streets or, as some quickly point out, at home, but they also experience racial trauma at school. Moreover, the amount of physical and mechanical restraints that are used against Black students, in particular Black students with disabilities, are disproportionately higher than any other racial sub-group.

The trauma that is displayed as a grown man is using his weight and force to physically restrain the young woman, who is 14-years old, brings back fear of transgenerational trauma where Black women were raped by White men and no one did anything to stop it.

Most importantly, the young woman who is seen hitting back appears to be exhibiting a type of trauma that is known as “fight” in response to this traumatic assault.

What was also not reported or widely circulated was how the Black SRO. or campus security officer, de-escalated the anxiety of the other girl who he also restrained within a reasonable amount of force and most importantly, humanely. He was able to calm her down to the point where another teacher came over and spoke to her. As a result, she was not arrested.

As for the 14-year-old who was physically restrained, community activist Tasha Williamson stated she was handcuffed and taken away to Juvenile Hall. However, Ms. Williamson stated that Juvenile Hall will not confirm that fact, due to privacy and protection requirements.

It is reported that both students live in a group home.

Which brings us to the call of urgency that must no longer be overlooked, we need more trauma-informed counselors and full-time mental health staff who are culturally

Ballot casting information

What is on the ballot

Once you arrive at your local polling place, it is important to know that if you are still in line when the polls close, your vote will still be counted. You have the right to get help casting your ballot and you may receive a new ballot if you made a mistake.

You also have the right to cast a secret ballot and get election materials in a language other than English. You may also drop off your mail-in ballot physically at your local polling place.

There will be two questions on the ballot once you arrive at your voting station.

Weiser open a criminal investigation into the McClain case. For without those protests, it is unlikely the three officers and two paramedics would have been indicated.

Indictments are not enough in wrongful deaths, we need convictions. Convictions are not enough, we need sentencing with teeth.

force that statement. This case shows that paramedics should also take note.

How to register on-site On-site registration is available for this election. When you arrive at your local polling place, you will receive a voter registration form and a ballot. Once officials have verified your voter registration, your vote will be counted. You can check your voter registration status here.

The judicial system failed.

The Adams County district attorney announced that criminal charges would not be filed, saying there was not enough evidence that the officers had broken the law when they used force on McClain.

The subsequent arrest of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 changed the social climate both nationally and internationally. It brought about a heightened level of attention, scrutiny and protest in regards to all unjust deaths of Black citizens at the hands of law enforcement.

Attention, scrutiny and protest prompted Gov. Jared Polis (D) to have Attorney General

The murder conviction of Derek Chauvin resulting in a 22 ½ year sentence in the George Floyd death case should be a statement to those in law enforcement concerning the changing social climate of accountability. We need a strong conviction and sentencing in the Elijah McClain case to rein-

This is why we must go to the root of the cause: the lack of culturally responsive, caring and empathetic educators and staff who view Black students as human. School Districts’ hiring practices must change if we are to significantly reduce the number of racially traumatic school incidents that occur in our PK-12th grade education systems across the nation.

We must hire more educators and staff like the Black SRO/ campus security officer at Valhalla High School.

Ms. Williamson commented, “The fact that there are racial

Now, we see that the former Georgia District Attorney in the Ahmaud Arbery case has been indicted. Jackie Johnson was just indicted for wrongfully showing favor to the men who have since been charged with the murder of Arbery. District Attorneys everywhere should take note concerning the violation of oath while serving the public.

When police officers, paramedics and district attorneys start to consistently go to jail for any wrongdoing in the line of duty, it should make all of those holding

disparities with our students, how they are dealt with compared to other students is a problem. No one is going to have four SRO’s jump on a White Girl like that. An arrest should have never happened in this case, especially in a school district that claims it has restorative justice. We all fight for different things but all of these systems show that nothing has really changed. And they may not ever, I don’t know. The climate must change, the district must change the culture by hiring more counselors and providing intervention.”

GUHSD has a history of antiBlack racism and it’s no surprise that when it comes to suspensions and expulsions, the district leads the pact in San Diego County. Breanna Bell was a student in 2018 at Helix High when she was assaulted at school. Her case was settled, but was justice really served?

As for the SRO, he’s on paid administrative leave during the investigation. The current superintendent, Theresa Kemper, says she will be transparent.

California Secretary of State website at elections.cdn.sos. ca.gov.

What to do if you are denied your rights You have the right to report any illegal or fraudulent election activities if you witness them at the polls. If you believe you have been denied any of these rights or you’ve witnessed any election fraud or misconduct, call the Secretary of State Office’s confidential hotline at 800345-8683. positions of public trust consider their own individual actions and choices when faced with life and death situations. Unfortunately, we know the reality of our society. Personal and professional accountability are not characteristics willingly embraced by every man and woman throughout the law enforcement and the judicial ranks. Accountability has to be forced.

The indictment in the Elijah McClain case almost didn’t happen. For that reason, it shows that concerned citizens have to always pay attention, show scrutiny and peacefully protest if necessary.

WILLIAM “BILL” LYONS SR. was born on April 14,1945, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

Bill attended elementary school in Oklahoma at Uganda Morris Elementary School. At the young age of 11, Bill’s father elected to move west to California to expose his 6 children to a life filled with more opportunity. Bill graduated from High School and went on to achieve many things throughout his life. Bill met the love of his life, Sandra, when he was just 15 years old. They later married and had three sons, William Jr., Tracy, and Scott (predeceased).

From a career perspective, Bill supported his entire family with his very first job in San Diego as a box boy. He eventually became the full manager of a thriving grocery business.

After retiring from Sunbeam, Bill went on to open a printing business, B&B business forms which he successfully ran for 25 years.

Bill was extremely active in the community and wanted the “doors” of Southeast San Diego to be opened to various opportunities to all who lived and worked there. With that in mind, Bill accepted an appointment with the Business Improvement District (BID) in which he assisted or led the charge of many community outreach programs and efforts, especially those involving early childhood development.

Bill retired to Enid Oklahoma where the Lord called him home on August 28, 2021. Bill is survived by his loving wife Sandra, his oldest son Bill Jr. (Teressa), Tracy (Jennifer), Six grandchildren, three beautiful great granddaughters, and his brother Donald.

On August 30, 2021, Congressman Scott Peters (CA-52) met with a group of local small business owners at Legacy Shades in San Diego to discuss the challenges small businesses are continuing to face on the road to recovery. The San Diego area small business owners — Matt Geans of Legacy Shading, Mervain Cutler of Cutler Engineering & Tech Services, Bryan Pate of ElliptiGO, Jit Bhattachyra of Xpertech Solutions, Daryn Huang of NewBeeDrone, and Gulsum Rustemoglu of GEPermit — who are members of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses

Voices community, discussed issues facing small business owners, including access to capital, labor shortages, and rising operating costs.

A recent national survey from Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Voices showed that while small businesses are on the road to recovery, they are still facing major roadblocks. The survey found that of the 71 percent of small businesses

currently hiring, 81 percent are finding it difficult to recruit qualified candidates.

At the same time, 83 percent of small business owners report an increase in operating costs in the past few months and 82 percent are concerned about the impact of inflation on their businesses. As a result, almost half of small businesses (48 percent) have had to increase their prices. Locally, California small business

owners continue to face significant challenges.

“San Diego small businesses are on the road to recovery, yet we are still dealing with several obstacles. First, operating costs are significantly higher than they were prior to the pandemic.

Second, finding labor is increasingly challenging.

And finally, the rise of the Delta variant is creating more uncertainty,” said Matt Geans of Legacy Shading.
