VOTERS TO DECIDE ON TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX TO BE EXAMINED FURTHER

By Chris Frost Special to the Tri County Sentry Paying for the privilege took a step forward in the City of Oxnard, June 5, as the city council passed a resolution to hold an election about placing a tax on cannabis.

HE cannabis tax question will be on the Nov. 6 ballot. The Oxnard City Council approved delivery of medical cannabis in the city limits last April.

Interim Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden said the cannabis tax would be on cultivation, delivery, testing, laboratories, retail sales, distribution, and manufacturing.

"Although we currently do not allow any of these, with the timing of the ballot measures they need to be to the county by July 3," Golden said. "Putting this before the voters do not change the regulations we have in place today."

She said passing the resolution will keep the city's 'go slow' approach in place, but at the same time keep the options open if the council chooses to allow cannabis before the 2020 election.

She said on July 8, 2017, the council prohibited commercial cannabis in the city and incorporated medical cannabis into the zoning ordinance and revised regulations to allow for medical cannabis.

Cal Lutheran Hosts Free Mariachi Concert SHOW MARKS LAUNCH OF PROGRAMS DEDICATED TO GENRE

THOUSAND OAKS— California Lutheran University is presenting a free mariachi concert from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Sunday, June 24, to mark the launch of programs dedicated to the Mexican musical genre.

Grammy Award-winning Mariachi Divas will perform in William Rolland Stadium on the Thousand Oaks campus.

Marisa Ronstadt will join them for the last half hour, and mariachi students from Cal Lutheran and local high schools will perform in the finale.

New faculty member Rocio Marron, an accomplished

musician who has worked with Mariachi Divas, helped organize the concert as part of her efforts to bring mariachi to the university. In February, she began recruiting students for a new mariachi class and ensemble set to debut in fall.

The ensemble, which will include community members, will likely present its first concert in fall. Marron also helped to launch a mariachi club, which practiced together weekly during the spring semester. n Hosts Free, see page 7

recently to allow for medical delivery," she said.

A vote to decide if they should alter the city’s transient occupancy tax (TOT) to apply to shortterm rentals failed, but the council will examine the issue in greater detail.

California charges a transient occupancy tax when someone occupies a hotel, inn, house, motel or other lodgings for up to 31 days.

During the last budget workshop, Interim City Manager Scott Whitney said the city undercharges on its Transient Occupancy Tax and leaves a lot of money on the table.

Golden said the city would examine the TOT tax issue at a study session during the July 10, city council meeting.

"To qualify for the Nov. 6, ballot, we have to have all the ballot measure language to the county by July 3," she said. "If we do not meet this deadline, we would not be able to put any ballot measures related to tax until the 2020 general election."

Golden said the transient occupancy tax goes straight into the general fund. The city has a TOT in place for the last 50 years, and the current rate is 10 percent.

"The ballot measure before you would not change the rate but would add the term 'shortterm rentals' to explicitly allow that in the zone," she said. With the TOT ordinance being 50 years old, she said it didn't contemplate things like shortterm rentals.

"Short-term vacation rentals have exploded not just in the city, but in cities throughout," she said.

During public comments, Diedre Frank said she was speaking as a private resident.

"Transient occupancy tax is expected to produce $5.5 million in the new budget," she said. "This is an increase of 5.7 percent from the current year collection of $5.2 million."

She accused the council of selling the shores for $300,000 (the anticipated increase from the TOT.) "That's what this is," she said. "This is selling the shores. You're giving up your residents for transient occupants and investors coming into Oxnard."

Councilman Oscar Madrigal asked if the voters reject the items, what will happen.

"If they (the voters) reject this, the regulations stay as is," Golden said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez wanted to hear about the TOT from City Attorney Stephen Fischer.

"This is more of a safeguard if other forces compel the city to accept short-term rentals in the coastal areas," he said. "The city may not have the last say on that issue. There may be courts stepping in ordering things. The coastal commission may come in with its own rule that would supersede any local ordinance."

Ramirez said she heard about short-term rental abuses.

"I'm concerned that we haven't made a decision and it's up in the air with the other authorities," she said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said if they don't pass the item, they don't get another chance to have the voters decide until 2020.

"It's not saying we're looking forward to shortterm rentals," he said. "Short-term rentals have been in Oxnard since as long as I've been here."

He said there is going to be a lot of litigation about short-term rentals in the future.

"If this does get shoved down our throat and there is nothing we can do about it, we should be able to regulate it in some fashion."

He said money raised from short-term rentals pay for enforcement staff to manage the situation.

Councilman Bert Perello asked why the study session is on July 10 when the ballot language has to be to the county on July 3.

"We combined two issues, the Canibus, and short-term rentals," he said. "They should have been separated."

He called it common sense.

"A lot of people question my common sense," he said.

Perello agrees that the short-term rental should be a placeholder on the ballot, but it appears the council approves.

"When you hear of the people who have been abused by the current status, specifically in the beach area, because those are the people who are the most vocal at the time and those are where the biggest abuses are going on," he said. "I'm sure the two speakers will give us a date where they will invite the full council to come down and see if they can get through on the street they live on at 3 a.m. and the parties are rip-roaring because somebody has the right to have a short-term rental."

Mayor Tim Flynn said he is involved with the short-term rental issue, specifically with residents at the beach.

"We have our fiscal year beginning July 1, and we have to pass a budget," he said.

Flynn agrees with Perello and wants the items (marijuana and the TOT) to be separated and wants a special meeting.

"I am afraid by the contentiousness of this issue that there will be a couple of hundred people who show up for this special meeting," he said.

Golden said the items are separate.

"We can look at a special meeting," she said. "We probably need to look at a special location."

Records: DNA from Tissue Led to Golden State Killer Arrest

By Kathleen Royayne

SACRAMENTO—DNA from a tissue left in a trash can led authorities in April to arrest a former police officer suspected of being California's notorious, elusive Golden State Killer, according to warrants released last week.

Documents released by a judge at the request of news outlets detail the case Sacramento County sheriff 's investigators pieced together to obtain arrest and search warrants for 72-yearold Joseph DeAngelo, who is facing murder charges in multiple counties.

DeAngelo is suspected of committing at least a dozen killings and roughly 50 rapes in the 1970s and ‘80s.

The documents also offer a window into the crimes that terrorized California.

After investigating for more than 40 years, police zeroed in on DeAngelo by using genealogical websites to identify potential relatives of the killer based on DNA collected at a crime scene.

Investigators used DNA from a semen sample collected at the double murder of Lyman and Charlene Smith in 1980 in Ventura County to find one of DeAngelo's relatives and eventually the suspect himself, according to the warrants.

After identifying DeAngelo as a suspect, investigators followed him to a store outside Sacramento and took a swab from the door handle of a car he exited. That sample didn't immediately lead to an arrest.

The use of so-called “touch DNA”—collected when only a few human cells are left behind when someone touches an object—has raised controversy among forensic experts.

Three days later, investigators collected trash from cans left outside DeAngelo's home in Citrus Heights, California.

A piece of tissue plucked from the trash proved to be the piece of evidence they needed to obtain

[The suspect] was arrested and charged with 12 counts of murder in Sacramento, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Orange counties. an arrest warrant, according to the documents.

DeAngelo was arrested several days later and has since been charged with 12 counts of murder in Sacramento, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Orange counties.

Prosecutors haven't yet decided where he'll be tried.

Investigators have searched DeAngelo's house, vehicles and storage locker, as well as his computer and cellphone. It's not clear what was recovered from DeAngelo because a judge ruled that those records should remain sealed.

Authorities said the Golden State Killer stole dozens of rings, watches, cufflinks and tie pins over the years that detectives hoped to find, along with an odd assortment of items including women's purses, cameras, jewelry made from coins, china,

a clock radio and a wooden bowl. He also took drivers' licenses, photographs and other identification from his victims, according to the documents.

Detectives also hoped the killer might have kept three blunt objects containing blood, tissue and hair from four victims who were beaten to death. One of the weapons is described as “possibly a metal sprinkler head.”

The heavily redacted affidavits show a chilling pattern of behavior. Neighbors reported numerous silent or lewd phone calls before the double murder of Brian and Katie Maggiore in Sacramento in 1978.

A 25-year-old woman in the neighborhood reported finding shoeprints outside her bedroom window and drawings in what appeared to be bodily fluids, according to the affidavit.

The Maggiores were shot while on a walk one evening.

The attacker then fled, running through multiple neighbors' yards.

To one, he said, “excuse me, I'm trespassing,” the documents state.

The killer was prone to “explosive violence” when cornered and, once confronted by police or neighbors, he tended to never again attack within that same jurisdiction, the documents said.

“This position is critical to the health and safety of our communities”, said CEO Michael Powers.

“Behavioral Health promotes recovery, hope and resiliency to Ventura County residents with mental health or substance abuse issues.

Sevet’s combination of clinical and administrative experience, her calm, thoughtful and collaborative leadership approach and her passion for the mission and vision for the future of the department make her ideally suited for this important role.

Sevet understands the importance of maintaining focus on the clients while staying connected to the families and the community.”

The Director of Behavioral Health reports to the Director of the Health Care Agency and is responsible for the administration of the County’s many Behavioral Health programs and services. These include programs for adults, youth, families and alcohol and drug abuse.

“Sevet will use all of her clinical and managerial skills as she develops, maintains and directs the department’s culturally responsive programs,” said Johnson Gill, Director of the Health Care Agency.

“Her position requires broad skills in addition to her clinical expertise. The director needs financial expertise, significant leadership ability and the ability to achieve effective outcomes that are both client-centered and data driven.”

NEWS Report: 110 Confederate Monuments Removed in U.S. Since 2015

By Jay Reeves BIRMINGHAM, Ala.— It took generations to erect all the nation's Confederate monuments, and a new report shows they're being removed at a pace of about three each month.

T

HE study—released Monday by the Southern Poverty Law Center—shows that 110 Confederate monuments have been removed nationwide since 2015, when a shooting at a Black church in South Carolina energized a movement against such memorials.

The number—which includes schools and roads that have been renamed in California, a repurposed Confederate holiday in Georgia, plus rebel flags and monuments that have been taken down in Alabama, Louisiana and elsewhere—represents a relative handful compared with the more than 1,700 memorials that remain to hail the Southern “lost cause.”

But the change is notable considering that removing such memorials wasn't widely discussed until the killing of nine Black people at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, said Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a liberal activist organization based in Montgomery that monitors

White supremacist Dylann Roof has been sentenced to death for the 2015 attack.

Whitney said cities have few options to address the liability.

"It's crowding out budgets for other essential services," he said.

The unfunded accrued liability for CalPERS, he said, is $269 million.

"That's double the general fund budget," he said.

"The Measure M lawsuit is nearing an end," he said. "The infrastructure use fee is in the early stages."

In 2018, he said the city is looking at a 9 percent decrease in crime.

Whitney proposes cutting 13 positions in the city.

"The next city manager may come back and have to trim an additional 13," he said. "Without new sources of revenue, we're going to have to have to come back over the next several years with service cuts."

He said the projected general fund budget is $134.4 million for departments like police fire, library, and recreation departments.

"The Carmen Override Tax, that is the special parcel tax that funds a portion of the public safety pension has been an economic anchor and has provided stability," he said. "I will say the same thing about the half-cent sales tax. It provided a $16 million loan to the general fund several years ago when we were in trouble. That half-cent sales tax has been an economic anchor."

Whitney said the city projection is spending more money from Measure O, which protects, maintains, and enhances vital services, like police, fire, emergency response. It also covers street paving and pothole repair, then it did in the current fiscal year. The projected total is $18.1 million.

He said there was a 14 percent rate increase in 2017, which fixed the shortage and allowed them to put money back into its reserve fund.

Whitney said 10 percent of the overall water budget is for labor expenses.

"The majority of the budget is for purchasing water," he said.

The water fund has an "A" Standard & Poor's Rating with a stable outlook, he said, because of the 2017 rate increase.

"We do not anticipate any changes in that rating anytime soon," he said.

The wastewater department is undergoing a five-year rate increase, he said, of 5.25 percent.

"Debt is a high number," he said. "They are capital intensive."

The estimated fund balance is $27 million, he said, The wastewater fund is rated "BBB" with a negative outlook, he said, with a $102.6 million of total debt and a $10 million annual debt payment.

"We need to raise that," Whitney said. "The way you do that is to raise your cash balance and improve your financial condition."

He pointed out the infrastructure is crumbling, and the city can't borrow any more money to address that situation.

He said there had not been any rate increases in the environmental resource department, except for a 1 percent pass-through in 2017.

Councilman Bert Perello said the city doesn't own the landfill, so if their rate goes up, the passthrough occurs.

Busboy Who Held Dying RFK Speaks of Lingering Pain

By Russell Contreras LOS ANGELES—Juan Romero was a teenage Mexican immigrant working as a hotel busboy 50 years ago when he was thrust into one of the seminal moments of the decade.

Romero had just stopped to shake the hand of Robert F. Kennedy on the night of his victory in the California presidential primary on June 5, 1968 when a gunman shot the New York senator in the head. Romero held a wounded Kennedy as he lay on the ground, struggling to keep the senator's bleeding head from hitting the cold floor of the Ambassador Hotel kitchen.

For almost a half-century, Romero blamed himself, wondering if he could have done more and often asked, what if Kennedy hadn't stopped for that brief moment to shake my hand? The torment ate at Romero so much he fled Los Angeles and resettled in seclusion in Wyoming.

Today, nearly 50 years after that tragic early morning, the 67-yearold Romero doesn't bear the same guilt, thanks in part to the support of RFK fans who say the former busboy was an example of the type of people Kennedy sought to help in making

racial equality and civil rights a cornerstone of his life's work.

Romero grants few interviews but recently made himself available for the Netflix documentary “Bobby Kennedy for President,” StoryCorps and others to talk about the hope RFK inspired that remains with him 50 years later.

“I still have the fire burning inside of me,” Romero told The Associated

When I listened to Robert Kennedy, I felt he wasn't talking at us, but talking to you personally.

Juan Romero Press.

Born in the small town of Mazatan, Mexico, Romero moved to Baja California until his family received permission to bring him to the United States as a 10-year-old.

The family lived in poor East Los Angeles and he attended Roosevelt High School the year that Chicano students started organizing walkouts to protest discrimination against

Mexican-American students.

But Romero's stepfather “ruled with an iron hand,” and the teen feared he'd face trouble at home if he took part. Instead, Romero got a job at the Ambassador Hotel as a dishwasher and later a busboy.

At the time, the young Romero didn't understand politics. Yet he knew that President John F. Kennedy had traveled to Mexico and saw footage of Robert Kennedy visiting Mexican-American farm workers in California. When Robert Kennedy announced he would run for president, Romero got caught up in the excitement.

“When I listened to Robert Kennedy, I felt he wasn't talking at us, but talking to you personally,” Romero said.

Then came the day Romero met Kennedy. The day before the California primary, Kennedy and his aides ordered room service at the Ambassador Hotel. Romero was on duty and came into the room with a group of other busboys. He saw Kennedy toward the back—one hand held a curtain and the other gripped a phone. Kennedy put down the phone and waved Romero to come n Busboy, see page 7

African Americans went to the polls in Georgia, compared to roughly 48 percent of Whites.

If recent history is any indication, the only way the tides will turn in the favorable direction Democrats hope for relative to the key gubernatorial seats that are up for grabs in battleground states this November, is if there is a heavy Black voter turnout— something the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) has been focused on in 2018.

The NNPA, a trade group that represents over 200 Black-owned media companies across the U.S., recently launched an initiative to encourage 5 million new, Black voters to register to vote before the midterm elections, with the hopes of ensuring candidates like Abrams cross the finish line victoriously.

“The NNPA views the electoral victory of Stacey Abrams as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Georgia as one of the most important political advances for the

interests of Black America, since President Barack H. Obama was elected,” said Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Jr., president and CEO of the NNPA. “In particular, Black women are now the effective vanguard in statewide and local elections across the U.S. The win by Abrams in Georgia is also timely as the NNPA has called upon 5 million more Black Americans to register to vote before the November 2018 midterm elections.”

Abrams will need that increase in Black voter turnout to add her name to the list of Black women, who are changing the landscape of politics across the country.

According to a recent report by the Higher Heights Leadership Fund and the Center for American Women and Politics titled “The Chisholm Effect: Black Women in American Politics 2018,” Black women only make up 3.6 percent of the U.S. Congress and less than one percent of statewide elected executive officials. Only 38 other Black women have served in

Congress since Shirley Chisholm’s groundbreaking victory in 1968, when she became the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress.

Relative to statewide elected executive offices, only three (3) Black women currently serve in a statewide office—Jenean Hampton (R-Ky.), the Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky; Sheila Oliver (D-N.J.), the Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey; and Denise Nappier (D-Conn.), the State Treasurer of Connecticut.

Together, these women represent 4.2 percent (3 of 71) of all women statewide elected executive officials and 0.96 percent (3 of 312) of all statewide elected executive officials in the entire country.

Going even further, only 12 Black women have ever held statewide elected executive office in just 11 out of the 50 states, and prior to Abrams’ historic quest to become the next governor of Georgia, no Black woman has ever been elected governor, let alone become the gubernatorial nominee of a major political party. Abrams may be just the person to change things.

Abrams has become a major catalyst behind this exciting new trend of Black women running for office nationally, and a lot of her momentum should trickle down to other seats on a local level.

The nation will see how powerful this momentum has become since Abrams’ historic victory on next Tuesday, June 5, when London Breed, the current president of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, will face off against seven other challengers in her quest to become the city’s first Black female mayor.

Still, many of these Black women who decide to run for office need the support of the Democratic Party, who historically has a pretty dismal track record of providing support for African American candidates nationwide and at the local level.

Maybe this time will be different.

Time will tell. November to be exact.

Stay tuned.

A Merry Heart Doeth Good Dr. James L. Snyder With all the sad news in our country today, it is about time for some good news. However, the way things are going I am not going to hold my breath.

We just finished supper and the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I was watching a little bit of television. We like to try to catch up on the news after a day of working.

I well remember the time when the “world news” was only broadcast for 30 minutes, which was broken up by commercials. It is hard to get all the news that is worth hearing together for 30 minutes. Back in “the day,” the commentators were able to do it. At least we did not hear about all the news of the day, which was a blessing.

It is a different story today. We hear news from around the world all day long. In fact, some television channels are devoted exclusively to news 24/7. The problem with that is 99.9% of the news is bad news.

Good news does not have much of a place on television. We are too busy these days to listen to good news.

We had just settled down to catch up and some of the news and I was not paying too much attention. The way I am, I can watch the news and

not hear anything they are saying.

My wife, on the other side of the room, hears every word the news commentators are talking about.

We were relaxing, enjoying some coffee while watching the TV. I was drifting off into Whatever Land and just chilling. It was then that I heard from across the room some gasping.

“What is wrong with people?”

And, “Don’t they know to do any better?” And, “What does all that violence solve?”

I looked over at my wife and saw her grimacing at the TV. Every once in a while she would shake her head and make some kind of a moaning sound.

I knew not to interrupt her Grimacing Moment and allowed her to have her space. After all, everybody needs a little bit of personal space.

“I can’t believe,” she said most disgustingly, “that he actually said that! What is wrong with that person?”

I did not need to tell her that we live in a very crazy world. A world that has lost all sense of sanity.

Unless you are insane these days, you are not going to get along with anybody.

At this point in the evening, I certainly did not want to get into

a discussion about how crazy our world was. I have ridden in this rodeo before and I am not ready for another ride.

My wife and I agree on many things and this is one of them.

Good news does not have much of a place on television.

We are too busy these days to listen to good news.

Anger, hatred and violence never solve anything. What we need today is a little more laughter.

Even there the world has gone crazy. The so-called “comedians” are just as bad if not worse than the average insane person in our country. They have a platform to make people laugh, but they use it to vent their anger and wrath toward somebody.

I knew I had to pull my wife out of this cesspool of lunacy. Then a thought came to me. If you want to get your wife to laugh, remind her of something about her greatgrandson. It works all the time.

“I was wondering,” I said, trying to direct her attention away from the television, “what our greatgrandson was doing today. I wonder if he’s having fun?”

It worked beautifully. She looked at me and changed that hard grimace look into a hilarious laughter.

“You know,” she said, “I was just thinking about him today. I wonder what he’s doing today.”

Then she was off talking about her great-grandson and some very happy moments she had with him.

Of course, I cannot be sure of this, but some of what she said was a little bit exaggerated. Believe me, I am not the only one in the family that exaggerates.

However, it worked. It got her away from the heaviness of the insane world around us to the hilarious world of great-grandsons.

Nothing is funnier than a greatgrandson.

There is a song out in the world that says, “What this world needs is love, sweet love.” I am not sure who sang it, but there is a message to that. I think it goes much further than that. If I was a songwriter or a singer (don’t worry, I’m not going to sing) I would write a song called “What the world needs is laughter,

hilarious laughter.”

Love can be rather complicated but laughter opens all the floodgates of real joy.

After a half-hour of laughing about her great-grandson, my wife was back to her normal, jolly self.

Laughter makes all the difference in the world. You can tell a lot about a person by what it takes to make him or her laugh.

Solomon understood this better than anyone when he wrote, “All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast” (Proverbs 15:15). And, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).

If I were a doctor, this would be my prescription. Laugh three times, and then call me in the morning with a new joke.

OPED

Remembering the Very Courageous Dovey Johnson Roundtree

By Marian Wright Edelman When Dovey Johnson Roundtree passed away on May 21 at age 104 our nation lost another far too unknown extraordinary groundbreaking Black woman leader. During World War II she was part of the first cohort of Black women admitted to the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps. Later she became one of the first women to be ordained in the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church. Above all she was a pioneering Black woman lawyer in an era when neither Black nor women lawyers were welcome in many courtrooms. She was often forced to leave the building to use the restroom or eat during her trials.

But she helped pave the way for other Black women lawyers who followed in her huge footprints seeking equal justice before the law for non-White and poor clients.

Dovey Roundtree was born in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1914 in the Jim Crow South even before White women had the right to vote. Her family lived with her maternal grandfather, a minister, and her grandmother, who had only a third grade education but was a community and Black women’s club leader who was friends with Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. Dr. Bethune was one of the role models who inspired Dovey to continue her education and she worked three jobs to put herself through the Black women’s Spelman College – our shared alma mater – where she graduated in 1938 with dual degrees in English and biology.

She began her professional life as a teacher but within a few years took a job working for Dr. Bethune at the National Council of Negro Women in Washington, D.C. Dr. Bethune, who was working with First Lady

bus transportation by the Interstate Commerce Commission. One of her high-profile murder trials ended with the acquittal of a poor Black defendant, Raymond Crump Jr., who was wrongly accused of murdering Washington socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer.

As her main caseload evolved from criminal law to family law Dovey Roundtree helped some of the same families she ministered to at Washington, D.C.’s Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church, where she served for 35 years while practicing law. Though she never had birth children she later said she lost count of the number of children she took in and helped raise. She was a courageously fierce and effective child and family advocate in her professional and personal lives and broke down huge barriers for other Black women lawyers like me who did not have to face the same discrimination she did.

But role models like her opened up new worlds of possibility and service and I am pleased that in her passing, younger generations can know of her great skills, courage, and persistence in the pursuit of justice for Black and poor people.

In a letter commemorating the release of Dovey Roundtree’s

autobiography Justice Older Than the Law, First Lady Michelle Obama wrote: “Ms. Roundtree set a new path for the many women who have followed her and proved once again that the vision and perseverance of a single individual can help to turn the tides of history…. She has clearly demonstrated that even in the face of enormous challenges, an unblinking belief in equality and justice will spur real change. I am inspired by Ms. Roundtree, and I hope that her story continues to motivate all Americans to fight for our shared values. It is on the shoulders of people like Dovey Johnson Roundtree that we stand today, and it is with her commitment to our core ideals that we will continue moving toward a better tomorrow.” Dovey Roundtree is and should be an inspiration to all of us, especially young Black women.

First Lady Michelle Obama wrote: “Ms. Roundtree set a new path for the many women who have followed her and proved once again that the vision and perseverance of a single individual can help to turn the tides of history.

Eleanor Roosevelt to make sure the newly-created Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps would include Black women, encouraged her to take advantage of the new opportunity.

Dovey Roundtree became a captain in the Corps, fighting segregation at every turn and traveling to recruit other Black women along the way.

After the war she used the G.I. Bill to continue her education and was one of five women in her class at Howard University Law School. She knew a law degree would help her fight the daily discrimination she faced on a

much larger scale.

For decades she was a fixture in Washington, D.C. courtrooms. One of her early cases with law partner Julius Robertson was representing Sarah Keys, a Black private in the Women’s Army Corps traveling in uniform on an interstate bus who was arrested for disorderly conduct after refusing to give up her seat to a White Marine, an experience Mrs. Roundtree herself had endured several years earlier.

Their landmark victory led to the first ban on segregation in interstate

Blacks Fare Surprisingly Well in Prostate Cancer Research

By Lindsey Tanner Black men with advanced prostate cancer fared surprisingly well in two new studies that challenge current thinking about racial disparities in the disease.

B

LACKS are more likely to get prostate cancer and to die from it than whites, but the new research suggests getting access to the same treatment may help balance the odds—even if it doesn't greatly extend life after cancer has spread. Given the same standard treatments, Blacks with advanced disease may do even better than whites, the studies suggest.

Both were presented Friday at an American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago.

The lead author of one study, Susan Halabi of Duke University, said the results “are contrary to the mainstream understanding” that Blacks fare worse than whites with prostate cancer. She said the analysis highlights the importance of minorities participating in medical studies.

Her report pooled results from nine studies in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and focused on the more than 7,000 whites and 500 Blacks with advanced prostate cancer who had stopped responding to hormone therapy. Patients' average age was 69 and most had cancer that had spread to their bones. The men were all

treated with standard chemotherapy.

The analysis found that Black men fared at least as well as whites, with both groups surviving almost two years after starting treatment. But researchers found a slight survival advantage for Black men—they were about 20 percent less likely than whites to die—when taking into account patients' individual characteristics including tumor type and levels of PSA, a blood protein that can be elevated in cancer.

That Blacks may do even better underscores the need to dig deeper to find out why, said Halabi. It's possible Black men who enroll in prostate cancer studies are healthier than other patients or they might have biological differences that make them respond better to treatment, she said.

The results suggest that access to care is key, said Dr. Richard Schilsky,

the society's chief medical officer.

If men are diagnosed later and not treated as quickly or as well, “of course the outcomes are going to be worse,” he said.

A separate, smaller study, led by Duke's Dr. Daniel George, compared the prostate cancer drug Zytiga with

The drug stopped cancer from spreading further for about 17 months on average in both groups. But declines in PSA levels, considered a promising sign, were greater in Black men. Blacks also had different side

effects—less high blood pressure but more trouble with low potassium levels. Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Zytiga's maker, paid for the study but was not involved in the research.

Genetic testing in the study found racial differences that might make Blacks respond better to Zytiga than whites, and the results suggest that the drug might have greater benefit if started earlier, before cancer has spread, George said.

Dr. Robert Dreicer, an expert for the cancer group and University of Virginia cancer specialist, called the results thought-provoking and said additional research on genetic differences might lead to new, more effective treatments for Black men.

Dr. Adam Murphy, a Northwestern University physician who studies racial disparities in prostate cancer, said some reasons for low Black enrollment in studies include poor

overall health, money and mistrust of the medical establishment.

“We just need more patients enrolled,” Murphy said.

Denial also leads some men to delay seeking any kind of treatment, but Westley Sholes, 78, a retired health care manager in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, said he decided to be proactive after his father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.

Sholes says he asked his doctor to do repeat scans. Results from the first were suspicious and the second done three months later detected early cancer. That was 20 years ago; Sholes had surgery and is doing well.

He credits good health insurance, excellent treatment and educating himself about the disease.

“Of course I was scared,” Sholes said. “I had top-notch awareness and the awareness overrode the reluctance to do something.”

Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs of Depression Philadelphia, Pa.—While it is common for everyone to feel down or sad at times, a person whose symptoms last for more than two weeks may be having a major depressive episode, according to The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA).1 An estimated 16.2 million adults in the United States had at least one major depressive episode in 2016, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.2 The treatments for depression can vary and include medications, psychotherapy or a combination of the two. “Often the most difficult cases of depression can be effectively treated,” said Michael Golinkoff, Ph.D., M.B.A., president of PerformCare, a managed behavioral health organization and part of the AmeriHealth Caritas Family of Companies. “However, the sooner the treatment can begin, the better it will work.”

Someone may be experiencing depression and not realize they have it, as the symptoms vary. About 37 percent of adults with a major depressive episode did not receive treatment.3 It’s also important to point out that without proper treatment, the symptoms can get worse.4 According to SAMSHA, some of the warning signs of depression4 include • Sadness, anxiety, or feeling “empty” • Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism, guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness • Fatigue or decreased energy level • Change in appetite • At the extreme, thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts.

The warning signs of depression should never be ignored. Anyone with these symptoms should speak with their primary care provider or a behavior health specialist. Loved ones or friends who exhibit these symptoms should be encouraged to do the same.

“If we feel physically ill we get medical treatment without giving it a second thought,” added Dr. Golinkoff. “We should think of mental illness in much the same way.”

Background: In February 2018, the Oxnard City Council adopted a district election system, enabling city voters to elect a council member who lives in their district, starting with the November General Election.

The city has historically used an at-large voting system, in which four council members and the mayor are elected by registered voters of the entire city. Under the new district election system, the city is

divided into six separate districts, with each district electing a council member from that district. The mayoral position will continue to be elected on an at-large basis.

Districts 1, 2 and 5 will hold elections for a fouryear term in November 2018, and Districts 3, 4 and 6 will hold elections for a four-year term in November 2020. In addition, District 6 will hold an election for an initial twoyear term in November 2018, allowing six members of the City Council to be in office after the November 2018 City Council election.

In the Embassy Room, Kennedy thanked supporters, including United Farm Worker co-founder Dolores Huerta. After his victory speech, Huerta tried to usher Kennedy to another room where mariachis were waiting to play for the victorious candidate. Kennedy walked downstairs and decided to go through a hotel kitchen and meet with reporters waiting on the other side.

In the kitchen, Kennedy raced through and waved to kitchen staff. Then, he saw Romero. Did he remember him from the day before?

Romero stuck out his hand and Kennedy stopped to shake it. During that brief pause, a man ran toward Kennedy and opened fire. Several men, including Olympic gold medalist Rafer Johnson and Los Angeles Rams football player Roosevelt Grier, jumped on the gunman.

Romero ran to Kennedy.

News photographers captured pictures of Romero next to the bloodied Kennedy—images that would be seen all over the world.

“Is everybody OK?” Kennedy asked. Yes, he said.

“Everything will be OK,” Kennedy said before losing consciousness. Romero put a rosary in Kennedy's hand.

Wife Ethel Kennedy—at the time pregnant with their 11th child—ran to her injured husband and pushed Romero away. Romero turned and saw a group of men punching the gunman. “I felt my hand making a fist to join in,” Romero said. “Then I thought, what's the point?”

The next day, Robert F. Kennedy, the man who had excited Latino, Black, poor and anti-Vietnam War voters, was dead at the age of 42.

Dawn Porter, who directed “Bobby Kennedy for President,” said it was an honor to speak to Romero and allow him to share his story for the Netflix documentary. He opened up upon meeting Kennedy aide Paul Schrade, who was wounded in the attack, for the first time in decades. The two shared their emotional memories.

“We just pointed the camera and let the two of them talk,” Porter said. “It was powerful.”

academic, social and support programs to better serve Latinos as the percentage of Latinos among full-time undergraduate students has risen from 14 percent in 2006 to 32 percent today. The growing Latino enrollment reflects the changing makeup of the surrounding area as well as Cal Lutheran’s increased efforts to recruit, admit and retain Latinos and other underrepresented students.

Founded in 1999 by trumpet player Cindy Shea,

Mariachi Divas won the 2009 and 2013 Grammy Awards for Best Regional Mexican Album of the Year. The group has received seven Grammy nominations after releasing 14 albums. Mariachi Divas has been Disneyland Resort’s official mariachi since 2003.

With Shea’s Italian and Irish heritage and her ensemble of women from diverse backgrounds performing in a male-dominated genre, the group demonstrates that music has no boundaries.

Ronstadt returned to her rich cultural roots in mariachi last year. She performed at the Mariachi Festival in Phoenix, at the renowned Teatro Metropolitano in Mexico City with the mariachi touring show “Mano a Mano Ranchero,” and in the Los Angeles production commemorating the 30th anniversary of her cousin Linda Ronstadt’s multiplatinumselling mariachi album, “Canciones de Mi Padre.”

forward.

“All I remember was that I kept staring at him with my mouth open,” Romero said.

Kennedy grabbed Romero's hand with both hands and said, “thank you.” For a moment, there was silence.

“I will never forget the handshake and the look ... looking right at you with those piercing eyes that said, ‘I'm one of you. We're good,”' Romero said. “He wasn't looking at my skin, he wasn't looking at my age ... he was looking at me as an American.”

The busboy walked out of Kennedy's room with complete happiness. Nothing would stop him from pursuing his dreams, Romero felt. “Now, they call it swagger,” he said. “I had no doubt that I had just met the next president of the United States.”

The next day, voters went to the polls. In some East Los Angeles precincts, polls closed early, not because of irregularities but because everyone had voted. Kennedy won on the strength of Mexican-American and Black voters.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 7302727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site - www. servicelinkASAP.comfor information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 135800. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by DEREK CRANDELL & RYAN CRANDELL in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that DEREK CRANDELL & RYAN CRANDELL be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 5/25/2018 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE- 154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

ocial responsibility comes in all shapes and sizes, but ultimately it comes down to one common purpose: making the world a better place. From volunteering at local shelters and community centers to feeding those in need at your local food bank, there are countless ways to give back within your community.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 25 percent of people in the U.S. volunteered in 2015. However, studies on health and volunteering show that people who volunteer report feeling emotionally, mentally and physically better. Multiple studies show that volunteering has been linked to lower stress levels, lower levels of depression and longevity.

If that’s not incentive enough, lending support to organizations in your community can often bring immediate and tangible results that give you a connection and sense of community.

There are some programs that even enable people to make a difference by matching them with volunteer or funding opportunities. One example is the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund.

“It’s exciting to see communities strengthened by their residents,” said Angela Allen, program manager for the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, which focuses on supporting local nonprofits in rural communities with the help of local farmers. “The good news is there are several simple and easy ways people can get involved in their communities and make a difference.”

Here are five ways that you can lend a hand:

Volunteers are the driving force for many community causes. Get your start as a volunteer with these tips:

Volunteering. Nonprofit organizations rely on the support of loyal donors and volunteers to deliver on their missions to improve the communities they serve.

Time and talent are among the most valuable gifts you can give a deserving cause. One of the greatest benefits of volunteering is the chance to put your energy and abilities to use for a cause you care about, whether it’s feeding the hungry, rescuing animals or some other cause that is close to your heart.

Volunteering provides a feel-good way to pursue your personal interests.

Giving blood. According to the American Red Cross, every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.

There is an ongoing need to replenish a communities’ blood supplies, whether for medical uses or in the aftermath of a tragedy. Giving blood is fast, relatively painless and can save lives.

Donating. Money doesn’t make the world go ’round, or so the saying goes.

However, it can make a difference when it comes to bettering the community. Nonprofit and community organizations rely on monetary contributions not only to fulfill their existing program needs, but also to expand those services to impact more people. Rather than a single, one-time gift, consider setting up an ongoing donation so your impact continues over time. For small or rural nonprofits in particular, a little bit goes a long way. Another touching way to donate funds: give in honor of a loved one, either as a gift for a special occasion or in memoriam. Rather than giving your parents a gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, think about a small donation to their favorite charity.

1. Identify a cause or organization that strikes a personal chord. Investing personally helps ensure you genuinely enjoy the time and means you’re more likely to give your best effort.

Applying for funding opportunities.

Another way to help your community thrive is by exploring avenues to create new funding opportunities for nonprofits. For example, the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program provides farmers an opportunity to help a nonprofit of their choice. Eligible farmers can enroll in the program until Nov. 1 at GrowCommunities. com for a chance to direct a $2,500 donation to a local eligible nonprofit organization. Since 2010, the program has given more than $26 million to nonprofits, including food banks, emergency response organizations, youth agriculture programs and more.

Paying it forward. Not every step you take in support of your community has to be a large one. In fact, the ripple effect

2. Explore what you can give. It may be basic labor like sorting donated items, making calls or stuffing envelopes, but there could also be room to lend your own special skills or talents, such as bookkeeping or artistry.

of a series of smaller deeds can have a truly momentous impact. You can set the feel-good wheels in motion in your own community by simply thinking about a time when someone generously gave their own resources to benefit you and paying forward that kindness with a matching endeavor. You might let a frenzied mom go ahead of you in line at the grocery store or pay for a meal for the elderly couple behind you at the drive-thru. Small gestures spread a feelgood spirit that can encourage others to do their part to make the community a better place, as well.

These are just a few ways that you can give back. Get out and meet with your friends and neighbors in your community to discover how you can best use your time and talents to help the greater good.

How Much Should I Give?

Many community organizations find that donors struggle with the question of how much they should contribute. Donors want to give enough to make an impact, but may fear what they can afford is too small an amount to be meaningful. Small nonprofits will tell you that no donation is too small. If you’re uncertain, though, don’t hesitate to ask. Most organizations can offer guidance at every giving level so you can feel confident your gift will truly make a difference.

3. Approach your volunteer role as you would a paying job. Meet with leaders beforehand to gain a clear understanding of mutual objectives, organize a work schedule and deliver on your commitments.

4. Invite friends or family to join you to make giving back to your community an experience you can share together.

Never Again: Pope Denounces 'Culture of Abuse, Cover-up'

By Nicole Winfield and Eva Vergara VATICAN CITY—Pope Francis became the first pope to publicly denounce a “culture of abuse and coverup” in the Catholic Church, saying last week he was ashamed that neither he nor Chile's Catholic leaders truly ever listened to victims as the country's abuse scandal spiraled.

“

NEVER again,” Francis said in a pastoral letter to the Chilean faithful on the eve of another weekend he will spend listening to victims of Chile's most notorious predator priest. The letter was issued on the same day the Vatican announced its top abuse investigators were returning to Chile on a new mission.

In the eight-page letter, Francis once again thanked victims for their “valiant perseverance” in denouncing abuse and searching for the truth “even against all hopes or attempts to discredit them.”

He included himself among the guilty in failing to actually accompany victims, saying, “With shame I must say that we didn't know how to listen or respond in time.”

And he spoke repeatedly of a “culture of abuse and cover-up.”

“The ‘never again' to the culture of abuse and the system of cover-up that allows it to perpetuate requires us to work together to generate a

culture of care,” in the way we relate to one another, power and money, he said.

No other pope has publicly spoken of a culture of cover-up in the church. The Vatican has focused for the past decade on punishing abusers themselves rather than the bishops and religious superiors who moved pedophiles from parish to parish rather than reporting them to police or removing them from ministry.

Pope Benedict XVI, credited with turning the Vatican around on the abuse issue, chastised Irish bishops in 2010 for their “often inadequate response” to abuse cases. But he never spoke of a whole system of power designed to protect molesters and shun victims.

Victims and their advocates

No other pope has publicly spoken of a culture of cover-up in the church. have long pointed to the hierarchy's culture of cover-up - the silencing and discrediting of victims, the effort to avoid scandal and the reflexive aim to safeguard the interests and reputation of the church at all costs - as the Vatican's main failure in dealing with the problem.

Francis apparently came around to their view after meeting with Chilean victims of the Rev. Fernando Karadima and reading a 2,300page report prepared for him by

Nicaraguan Cardinal Emeritus Miguel Obando Dies at 92

By Luis Manuel Galeano MANAGUA, Nicaragua— Cardinal emeritus Miguel Obando y Bravo, who clashed with Nicaragua's Sandinista leaders and later reconciled with them, died on Sunday at age 92, the country's Roman Catholic church announced.

The Nicaraguan Bishops' Conference said in a statement that “the Church of Nicaragua is in mourning.”

The government-aligned publication El 19 reported on its website that Obando y Bravo died shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday.

It did not give details but said funeral announcements would be forthcoming.

Obando y Bravo, a Salesian father, served as archbishop of Managua for 37 years before retiring in 2005. He also played an important mediator role throughout Nicaragua's recent, violent political history.

The cardinal was most famous for his clashes with the leftist Sandinista government of the 1980s, sharply confronting its alliance with a “people's church,” a Marxist-inspired version of Catholicism that outraged the Vatican and especially Pope John Paul II.

cardinal.

By the time Ortega lost the presidential election of 1990, the church had returned to a close relationship with Nicaragua's conservative elite.

Out of power, Ortega repeatedly tried to mend relations with the church and Obando y Bravo in particular, increasingly expressing religious faith.

Obando y Bravo was slow to accept that embrace.

When Ortega ran again for the presidency in 1996, Obando y Bravo alluded to him by telling the story of a man who was bitten after taking pity on a dying snake.

Archbishop Charles Scicluna and Monsignor Jordi Bertomeu, who spent nearly two weeks in Chile interviewing victims of Karadima and others.

The Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said Thursday that Scicluna and Bertomeu were returning to Chile in the coming days on a mission to the diocese of Osorno to help the church there heal from the scandal.

Osorno has been badly divided ever since Francis in 2015 tapped Bishop Juan Barros to lead the diocese over the objections of some of Chile's other bishops. Barros had been a top Karadima lieutenant and had been accused by Karadima's victims of having witnessed and ignored their abuse.

Barros denied the charge, but he was one of the 30-plus Chilean bishops who submitted their resignations to the pope after Francis summoned them to Rome for a dressing down and briefing on the Scicluna report.

Juan Carlos Claret, a spokesman for a group of lay Catholics in Osorno, said the visit was “the least we could hope for,” given that the pope himself was responsible for Osorno's problems. He recalled that Francis appointed Barros over the objections of Osorno faithful and some of Chile's bishops, and then kept him there despite three years of protests.

“We appreciate the gesture, but we don't know why they're coming,” Claret said.

Over the past three years, Barros twice offered to resign but Francis twice refused to accept it, blaming the opposition to him on “stupid” ‘'leftists” in Osorno.

Francis has admitted he made “grave errors in judgment” in the Barros case, but he blamed his missteps on a “lack of truthful and balanced information” that reached him. He hasn't revealed who provided him with the bad information.

The pope is widely expected to accept Barros' resignation the third time around, along with the other Karadima-trained bishops and an unknown number of other diocesan bishops.

Presumably, after meeting with Osorno's Catholic community, Scicluna and Bertomeu will be able to report back to Francis on the pastoral needs of the diocese and the profile of a new bishop.

Mormons Grapple with Race Decades After Ban on Black Leaders

By Brady McCombs SALT LAKE CITY—The Mormon church on Friday will celebrate the 40th anniversary of reversing its ban on Black people serving in the lay priesthood, going on missions or getting married in temples, rekindling debate about one of the faith's most sensitive topics.

The number of Black Mormons has grown but still only accounts for an estimated 6 percent of 16 million worldwide members. Not one serves in the highest levels of global leadership.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has worked to improve race relations, including calling out white supremacy and launching a new formal alliance with the NAACP, but some Black Mormons and scholars say discriminatory opinions linger in some congregations from a ban rooted in a belief that Black skin was a curse.

In a 2013 essay, the church disavowed the reasons behind the ban and condemned all racism, saying the prohibition came during an era of great racial divide that influenced early church teachings. Blacks were always allowed to be members, but the nearly century-long ban kept them from participating in many important rituals.

Scholars said the essay included the church's most comprehensive explanation for the ban and its 1978 reversal, which leaders say came from a revelation from God. But it didn't include an apology, leaving some unsatisfied.

“A lot of members are waiting for the church just to say, ‘We were wrong,”' said Phylicia Norris-Jimenez, a 30-year-old Black Mormon and member of the grass-roots Black LDS Legacy Committee, group of women who are organizing a conference Saturday in Utah to honor the legacy of Black Mormon pioneers.

Norris-Jimenez said non-Black church members still struggle with how to talk about the ban or understand the pain it causes. She said the anniversary celebration honors something that should have never existed but that it's a good gesture and hopefully leads to more discussions about race.

A fellow group member, LaShawn Williams, said she finds comfort in her belief that the ban was a “policy of people, not a policy of God,” made during a racist time.

She and her three children are the only Black members of her congregation in Orem, Utah, and she tries to talk about race issues regularly with the teenagers she teaches in Sunday school.

Williams, an assistant professor in social work at Utah Valley University, would like an apology.

“If we preach repentance, we should definitely embody it,” she said.

The theme of the anniversary celebration in Salt Lake City is “Be one,” a reference to a Mormon scripture. Top church leaders will deliver a message, and Gladys Knight, one of the most famous Black Mormons, will perform.

“This is a call to the entire church, and by extension, the entire world, to let go of prejudices and come together as one unified family,” said Ahmad Corbitt, a church employee who led the effort to organize the event.

Corbitt declined to address a church apology, saying the faith is focused on a forward-looking approach to unity.

Darius Gray, co-founder of the Genesis Group that supports Black Mormons, said the church and its doctrine aren't racist but racism lingers in the faith as it does in society.

Darius Rucker, Kane Brown Make Country Chart History

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Darius Rucker and Kane Brown are sharing a chart record as the first two solo acts who are also minorities to follow each other with No. 1 country songs in the 28-year history of the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

A

CCORDING to Billboard, Brown, who is biracial, had a two-week No. 1 with “Heaven” and Rucker, who is Black, followed him with his single, “For The First Time,” on the chart dated June 2. The chart, which digitally measures

airplay, began in 1990.

“I wanted to be involved in and make country music because I loved it,” said Rucker in a statement. “To be making history, especially with my little brother Kane Brown, is incredible and a great, added bonus.”

Rucker got his first country

No. 1 “Don't Think I Don't Think About It,” in 2008, which was also followed at the top by Kenny Chesney's song “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven,” with reggae group The Wailers.

Meanwhile this is just the latest chart record for newcomer Brown, who is the only artist in Billboard history to top all five country charts simultaneously. He hit No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums, Country Airplay, Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Songs charts.

“I've always tried to make the music that I liked, and that I knew my fans would like, and have tried to stay true to that, and I am such a big fan of Darius' musically, that sharing anything with him feels like an honor,” Brown said in a statement.

But prior to the current Billboard chart, other minority acts have followed each other with No. 1 country singles. In 1975, Latino singers Johnny Rodriguez and Freddy Fender twice followed each other to the top of Billboard's previous country singles chart.

Buffy Sainte-Marie Headlining Detroit's Concert of Colors DETROIT—Folk music veteran and Oscarwinning singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie is among the headliners of a festival celebrating the musical and cultural diversity of Detroit.

The multi-day, multi-venue event will run July 11-15. It again features the Don Was Detroit AllStar Revue led by Was, a nationally renowned musician and producer with Detroit roots.

All performances are free and open to the public.

Roseanne Barr Return Possible, but Lesser Platform Likely

By Andrew Dalton LOS ANGELES—After her network dropped her show, streaming services dropped her reruns, and her agency dropped her for a racist tweet, Roseanne Barr is vowing she's not finished.

Whether anyone will have her is an open question.

Mainstream television, where she saw soaring success both on the original “Roseanne” and the recent short-lived reboot, is probably out. But she finds herself in an environment flush with media outlets where the style of incendiary statements she was making long before Tuesday's tweet is not a hindrance, but rather an asset.

“Whether or not she will see herself back on a major network is probably doubtful,” said Eric Dezenhall of Dezenhall Resources, a crisismanagement firm. “If her goal is earning the big bucks again, network is where you get it,

but I think that for certain people what years ago was a career crisis is now a brand extension.”
