CARSON GOES BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL PLAN AFTER NFL DECISION Carson, CA. Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2015 – Carson Mayor Albert Robles today thanked the NFL and Carson’s partners, the Chargers and Raiders, for the opportunity to participate in the competition to build a pro football stadium in Southern California.

mayor said. For the past year Carson has been locked into an agreement with the Chargers and Raiders to develop a football stadium on the city-owned 157-acre site located just south of the junction of the 405 and 110 Freeways. In April that agreement will expire and the city will be freed of its commitment to the teams.

The mayor made his remarks after NFL owners voted to allow the rival stadium project Mayor Albert Robles “After April, in Inglewood to for the first time ever, proceed. the city will be in complete control of the des“This NFL bidtiny of this shovel ready, ding process has put hugely valuable, strateCarson on the map as a gically located propercity that has the wherewithal to compete in the ty,” said Mayor Robles. big leagues for develop- “We have been in talks with a nationally-promiment opportunities,” said Mayor Robles. “In nent developer who has just a few short months, been patiently waiting in the wings.

The “N” Word is Not A Cuss Word?

By James Thomas

The special Carson City Council meeting held on January 5th was another drama filled session worthy of a reality television show. The special session was held to decide if City Clerk Jim Dear should be removed from commissions he was self appointed to.

After the votes were taken and approved to remove the City Clerk a recess was taken. Prior to taking the votes, Mayor Robles outlined several accusations against Jim Dear, including his use of the “N” word against another city official which Dear denied on a

KABC News broadcast in 2015. After the recess Jim Dear took a seat on the dais, in

what appeared to be a clear act of defiance. After being told by Mayor Albert Robles that he was no longer elgible to sit on the dais, Dear asked the city Attorney if he had to leave, the answer was yes. Dear stepped down and spoke during oral

arguments berating Mayor Robles. During oral arguments Jim Dear admitted that he has “Cussed” and that the “N” word was not a cuss word but a derogatory statement.

After Dear, another Carson resident, Daniel Merga continued the tirade against Mayor Robles echoing the same sentiment as City Clerk Dear about the use of the “N” word and ended his statement to Mayor Robles by saying “I don’t know why the African American community in Carson still supports you.” A special election to recall Jim Dear will be held in Carson on February 23, 2016.

Publisher’s Viewpoint

City Council meeting on January 5th was excruciatingly painful for me as a African American man.

Its 2016 and the year has already started with a bang in the City of Carson. After what appeared to be a slam dunk that Carson would be the new home for the Chargers and Raiders, the NFL voted to approve the Rams move to Inglewood.

There were many Pros and Cons to having a new billion dollar stadium in Carson, however: it could not be denied the new NFL stadium would have given Carson a worldwide recognition that no amount of money could buy, not to mention the jobs and tax revenue it would have brought to the city. Then there is the continued “Soap Opera” with the current City Clerk. Sitting in the special

To hear City Clerk Jim Dear, and Carson resident Daniel Merga, reduce the use of the “N” word to a “derogatory statement” was an insult. In my opinion it is a hate filled curse word used to hurt, harm or insult the person it is directed to and any attempt to minimize its “sting” is a sly attempt to try and hide behind legalistic mumbo jumbo. Its sad that in 2016 we are still having arguments over the use of this word, which was created for one purpose, to demean black people.

The use of the “N” word should never be tolerated by any elected public official. Period. The Word of God says that “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Carson residents must ask themselves is this what’s in the heart of the City Clerk and his supporters?

as the future home of the Rams and gave the Chargers a one-year option to join the Rams in Inglewood.

“We wish Inglewood and our former partners, the Chargers and the Raiders, the best of luck,” said Mayor Robles.

Meanwhile, Carson city leaders also said they will be watching with interest how a preliminary ruling by the Federal Aviation Administration may affect the Inglewood stadium project.

Two months ago, the FAA issued a “notice of presumed hazard” that concludes the Inglewood stadium’s height, building design and composition posed a major flight risk for jetliners at LAX. The proposed stadium is located about three miles from LAX and is directly under the

flight path taken by 100’s of planes daily as they approach LAX to land.

Former U.S. Department Homeland Security secretary Tom Ridge and others have repeatedly warned about the public safety dangers posed by the proposed Inglewood stadium’s proximity to LAX’s flight operations.

Rams’ owner Stan Kroenke has submitted a plan to deal with the FAA’s concerns. But it remains to be seen whether the FAA or others, including the pilots’ association and passenger consumer groups, will be satisfied that an Inglewood stadium can coexist safely with LAX.

“If the League must revisit this issue, Carson stands ready,” said Mayor Robles. “Our site will be exclusively available as a stadium site until at least April when our current agreement with the Chargers and Raiders expires.”

Editors Note Angela Jackson

For many the new year means "out with the old and in with the new." This school of thought often leads to people starting new projects and by March losing steam and leaving lofty goals unfinished. This year do something different. This year get in touch with the desires of your heart, chose one thing you really want to accomplish and commit to achieving just one goal. Many experts suggest breaking goals down to small

measurable goals and achieving those goals so you don't become overwhelmed. I have found great success using this method. One personal goal I have this year for The Carson Courier is to report on more local stories and to reach more residents. This is a goal that involves you the reader. As the Managing Editor my greatest goal is to make sure we are a community paper. This is a goal that requires resident input. Please help me reach my personal goal by contacting me and letting me know what stories you would like to see covered. As always if you enjoy writing and are interested in being a journalist contact me. Thank you for your support. Have your best year ever... Happy New Year!

be your birthing place for greatness and service to others.

Don’t minimize your skills, education and talents. Don’t trivialize your moments of courage, resiliency and faith. Fear, procrastination , overthinking and being worried about what other people think will paralyze you.

You have had some interesting experiences. You have overcome some adversities. You have a story. You have shown courage, grit and tenacity when others gave up. You have endured disappointments and pain. Maybe you were able to rise above a hardship in your family or childhood.

Spiritual Views GENTLENESS by Doris Molo

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said” “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” (John 8:10-11 NIV)

How often is our reaction to sin something which could be described as gentleness?

Gentleness doesn’t mean saying the sin is ok. Gentleness doesn’t mean being dismissive to spare the person’s “feelings”.

Gentleness means you are clear in your intent not to harm the person, but help. It means communicating in humility and tenderness. Gentleness is how Jesus responds to those trapped in sin.

Think of the woman caught in adultery in John 8, or the Samaritan woman in John 4. Jesus said “Hey, what you’ve been up to is wrong. But let me help you. I am not interested in seeing you punished, but in seeing you made whole”. When do we see Jesus get

harsh? It isn’t with the “dirty sinners”. Prostitutes, tax collectors, adulterers, pagans, the drunks, the drug dealers, the homosexuals and all those folks the Pharisees glared at, they found Jesus to be tender, kind, humble.

The only folks who get an earful of “hellfire” from Jesus are the religious folks; the self-righteous, arrogant, condescending; those who are certain they are right, and the “others” are wrong.

in mind, not punishment. (Excerpt from: “It’s not about you” from Favente Dios’ Blog on Centre Street Baptist Church).

Doris Molo

Dealing with sin should always have the intent of restoration

GLOBAL TROUBLE By Dean L. Jones

Increasingly, public health advocates denounce the consumption of processed sugar, often making the comparison to smoking cigarettes in terms of the danger it poses to health. In general, added sugar is trouble to our heart, weight, and insulin health. The following is a reminder of the significant sugar issues globally discussed in 2015. The Scientific American Magazine reported on how processed sugar and fat trick the brain into wanting more food.

Junk foods can muddle the brain's satietycontrol mechanism, thereby sending a person's appetite into hyper-drive. USA Today published recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studies on how added sugar increases your risk of death from heart disease. Consequently, processed sugar not only makes a person fatter, it may also be the cause of death from heart disease.

ABC News gave international data that for every additional 150 calories of added sugar downed per person per day, the prevalence of diabetes rose by 1%, and people who ate the most added sugar more than doubled their risk of death

from heart disease.

The New York Times Magazine stated how sugar is a toxin or a poison and a likely dietary cause of several other chronic ailments, including heart disease, hypertension and many common cancers among them. It referenced a new movie called “That Sugar Film” dealing with the hazards of consuming too much added sugar, which can be found in an estimated 80% of all supermarket foods.

One of several Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) News articles addressed how sugar added to food is causing greater obesity, which was narrated by U.S. journalist Katie Couric. It placed considerable blame on food manufacturers (ketchup, pasta sauce, salad dressing, breakfast cereals, juice and energy drinks, baked goods, yogurt and even baby formula) for fuelling a sugar dependency that is creating a global obesity epidemic. Equally, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) News featured scientific experts that want sugar intake to be cut in half to reduce obesity risk and improve dental health. A committee of scientists has advised the British gov-

The Carson Courier

ernment to halve the current recommended daily intake of sugar, where no more than 5% of daily calories should come from added sugar, or about seven teaspoons. Children are manifesting increased rates of adult diseases like hypertension or high triglycerides, not to mention type-2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. A televised documentary showed how after just 10 days of eliminating sugar from the diet, obese children improved their blood pressure, cholesterol readings and other markers of health. All of the children considerably reduced their risk of diabetes, as their blood sugar and insulin levels normalized.

As monitored, processed sugar is trouble for the world's population. In 2016, this weekly column will continue to comment on the dastardly effects derived from excessive sugar consumption. And so, have a very SugarAlert New Year! www.SugarAlert.com Dean is a marketing strategist with the Southland Partnership Corporation (a public benefit organization), sharing his view on mismanagement practices of packaged foods & beverages.

Your local barbershop has a solution for high blood pressure!
